Starlit Field Beyond the Flames

Today was both a tiring and a relaxing day for me. My schedule was 1 period Math, break, 2 period PE, break, Mother Tongue, Biology, break, and the day ending with Chemistry. When I saw my schedule I was so damn happy because I had break for 6 periods straight since PE is considered as break to me.

Today's PE lesson by the way made my day so damn tiring though. ALL PE lessons must be like those in MI. YI PE lessons were too relaxing. Maybe its because we're now 17 years and above, so we must go through more vigorous training. I thought my leg muscles was gonna pop today although I didn't do as much running as compared to PE lessons in SAS... First, even before the lesson started, all the people who were on time for the lesson were punished because of the late comers... We stayed in push-up positions for about 20 minutes and were told to do 40 push-ups right after that. The late comers were not punished -_-... Next came the NAPFA* training. 2 rounds around the track (real running track with 8 lanes, and we were to run in the 8th lane (the longest) only...), 10 8 counts jumping-jacks, another round around the track, push-ups, stretching, another round around the track, sit-ups, then standing broadjump... Trust me, some of you might think its okay, but it really is not. Especially when you have no time to catch your breath before going on to the next exercise. Lots of people were like feeling drowsy and stuff. My friend vomitted. With training like this like twice a week, everyone will get a gold, even those who are not really fit.

The rest of the lessons were all good. Finally beginning to get homeworks now. Plus I finally got my lock and locker!! Didn't have one in YI because I joined late. My band starts tomorrow and its no longer a jazz band. They changed it to concert band because they were gonna combine members with those who are in Innova JC. I doubt Yu Ting is there though. Is she? Yesterday the band member called me to inform me about band. Her name was Jie Min and she said the band was looking for experienced players. I have 6 years of experience, and my Clarinet skills are still top shape MUHAHAHA. I think there are people who can play way better than me though -_-... I gotta train harder to catch up with those people then... So Young is also going for band tomorrow even though the band ends at 6 and she has tuitions at 7. Maybe I'll share a cab with her =D.

By the way, you guys seem to be having a lot of problems with your laptops. ESPECIALLY Zilah =P. Tsk tsk tsk =P. Well good luck to all.

SHUT UP.

Stress

Seems like everyone's enjoying their holidays. There are more outings now. Outings which I can't go to because of school.

As for me, I met more friends. There is Kamal, who weighs 5 kg less than me but almost same height, there is Shane aka "The horny Shane" by some of the girls LOL, Samuel, Jonathan, Haikal the Biology rep, Geraline who is a sport loving girl, Pei Yin aka Apple who is a girl who can never finish her food during the breaks LOL and many more. I still keep in touch with the friends I made in my OG group. Mostly only the science people though. AND most importantly I MET A KOREAN FRIEND!! Her name is Kim So Young EXACTLY THE SAME NAME AS MY JUNIOR IN YI!! AND THEY KNOW EACH OTHER TOO. We met in Geography class and kept talking in Korean so others around us felt left out =P. Its so good to have your country men to talk to.

Oh and I finally talked to Hui Min again XD. This time she messaged me saying there is this guy who came from SAS in her school. Of course I knew that guy, he's my primary 4 friend and the first friend I made in Singapore. His name: Go Ril La. LMFAO joking. Its Park Won Il. I was so glad to hear news about him. Hui Min and I kept making fun of him on MSN yesterday because I told her his face looks like a gorilla's. Told her to call him gorilla and she said she'll end up in a coffin XD. Added him on Friendster because Hui Min told me to add since she didn't want to talk to him (he looks fierce). Too bad they're not classmates... She only see him in the mass lecture. Hmm by the way... Does anyone consider me a funny person? Because Hui Min said I was funny and I was like "I'm funny?..." -_-.

Anyways, today's lessons were short and the last 2 periods were Mother Tongue so I had free period. Spent that period studying for Biology test which is on next Wednesday. Topics, the entire O level Biology topics. Oh my god. I feel sorry for those people who did combined Biology. They don't have the pure Biology text book. Too bad so sad.

Planning to meet Wei Jian tomorrow. Can't go far so meeting at Westmall. Maybe I'll have some creamy chicken there too XD. Oh well, see some of you guys tomorrow.

P.S. She's still so cute in the pics!! XD

SHUT UP.

Life at MI

My one week holiday is over. Went to school today at 7:15 and found out I made it to the course of my choice. There are 39 people in my class (same as my BELOVED 4E2 last year). I've already made a lot of friends there. Most of my classmates want to become a doctor, vet, pharmacist (like me), and many more. I think I'm going to become a doctor though. Pharmacy course is 4 years in the university. Plus, if I do become a doctor, people in my country will like respect me and stuff. Along with other jobs such as a lawyer, or a prosecutor.

Most of my YI friends in MI found today quite boring. I didn't. I had Dina in the same class as me to keep me company. She's a nice girl. Pretty too. When I went to YI, I couldn't make friends so easily because I was f-ing shy. I now find it easy to make friends because I'm not f-ing shy anymore. Meeting REALLY special friends (you guys should know who you are) in 3E2 and 4E2 got rid of my shyness. I kinda got used to people speaking Chinese to me since I look like a Chinese... Speaking of this... Guess what Sok Theng said to me today... "James, where are you from? (which country), Hong Kong right?". Upon hearing this, my chin touched the floor. Was funny though, and Steph kept on laughing.

Okay, so I'll tell more about my class. My class is almost like our 3E2, where there were MANY friendly people who didn't know each other at all. I got to know some of my classmate's personalities due to the class interaction when we were making our class flag. I believe I can find many special friends in my new class too. Already found Dina. I've known her for only 3 days total and I have no problem approaching her. There is also Mehvish who is Dina's friend, and etc.

School finished at 6:10 pm today... The leaders told us school will finish at 3:00 pm tomorrow... Tomorrow feels like a Friday to me... Rushed home with Sok Theng because she wanted to watch this programme... We still took bus anyways. Hope tomorrow won't be as tiring as today... Jamess out.

SHUT UP.

Primeval

Watched Primeval with my brother today. The movie made me symphathise towards all the people in Africa... So much poverty there... By watching this movie, I feel as if I can do the things that I was too scared to do... Things like going to countries with poverty to help people out. Anyways, back to the movie. The movie is based on a true story, about a crocodile who claimed over 200 lives in Africa... The movie was okay to me but my brother shielded his eyes in some scenes... I think the movie was cut in Singapore because there were times when I was like "Wah? What happened to that scene?". What really shocked me was the ending message when the movie ended, just before the credits. "'Gustav' (The local name for the croc) is still alive and is still haunting the rivers of Africa"* (Something like that)... How can that gigantic maneater croc still live?... Why didn't the people do something about it?...

After the movie, as my brother and I were leaving Westmall, I saw Min. I was at the second floor and she was on the first. When I tried to call her to say "Hi", she went out of sight. My first thought upon seeing her was "Wow! So tan!" (Yes Min, you are VERY tan). Was quite shocked too and I called her to double check heh. Met Michelle and Sharon at Pastamania straight away after that too.

Been watching too much drama these days... They're all romantic dramas and none of the guys in those dramas can get the girl they love... People say love is cruel, love is sad, etc, but I say love is patient... You need paitience. If your going to give up straight away after your rejected then whats the point of loving someone?... Although I have no experience in boy-girl relationship, I have LOTS of experience in getting rejected. Yeah it hurts like hell but you have to show some endurance (To guys). Thats what I believe, and will continue to believe until death. However I think I won't start liking any girls for a while. Even though I somehow meet the 5th girl of my dreams, and somehow if we do get together, I won't have the time to take care of her, be with her, or even talk to her. My mind is set on 2 things only, to gain some weight (So I've been eating way past my limit) and to catch up with my subjects.

I'll hang out with friends of course. Realised today how much I miss you guys. Take care to all and all the best.

SHUT UP.

MI Orientation

As most of you all know, I'm posted to MI. On Wednesday we had our first orientation there. First day of orientation was okay since I got to meet new friends like Dina, Hanafie, Joelim, Mavrick, Bernard, Heyma, Atiqah, etc. The campus itself was great too. A little bit too plain though. Like there were no tables and chairs to sit on. Classrooms were half the size of YI's but much more cleaner (since its new). Quite a number of people from YI went there. Met Maxime, Mirna, Raziah, Joanne, Nani, Michelle, Jie Lun, Sok Theng, Stephanie, and a few more. After the first day was over I had dinner with Maxime, Mirna, and Raziah at the nearby Mac after a tiring day.

Second day was the most fun day out of all 3 days. First of all I got to know my new friends even more since we were divided into groups depending on which stream we were in (Science/Arts/Commerce). Once all the science people came together, we all started like discussing about science. Provided quite a lot of knowledge myself since there were only 2 people (including me) who took Biology. The sample lectures came after. Went to the H2 level math lecture with Sok Theng. I listened all the way while Sok Theng kept on falling asleep heh. Realised that if I didn't do any A Maths during the long holiday, I wouldn't be able to catch up. Need extra tuition to guide me still. Went for my second lecture which was Chemistry. The teacher was very nice and made lots of jokes to keep us awake. H2 Chemistry was also okay to me. The sample question asked about "Lattice Energy" and some other stuff about Enthalpy changes and this law (can't remember...). The lectures ended at 4 pm and most of my YI friends had left since there were only games remaining. Had the "MI dance" which was quite fun dancing infront of your parents (XD), and there was the "Mystery Game" where we were supposed to go to various places to find the suspect who murdered this student in MI. Their actings were kick ass, especially my group leader. She acted as a crazy lunatic sister of the victim. Then it was home sweet home at around 9 pm.

Third day was nothing much. Met Sok Theng and Stephanie at Mac to have our breakfast first before going to school at 8 am. We had our diciplinary talks and guess what? The dicipline master reminded me of Mr. Adam. Their tone was like the same but the MI dicipline master is a Chinese. After the diciplinary talks the students handed in their subject choices to the group teacher. I chose H2 Math, H2 Chem, H2 Bio. I won't give up my Pharmacy dreams. I have to work EXTRA hard though but I'm mentally prepared for it. Our group teacher is an Indian and he reminded me of Umesh. I wonder whether I can teach the teacher about the "Hello I'm diva" thing >:).

Its too bad that Mei Hui and Wei Jian appealed out -_-. Gonna be hard to find new friends in MI with their type of personalities T_T. Gonna miss you guys :(. Take care.

SHUT UP.

The F...

I hate it when my family talks about how I couldn't go to a JC and shit... It boils my blood... Yeah, so what if I'm a f-ing failure? Plus, when my brother talks how he can move to a better school pisses me off. Its good he has a f-ing second chance. He doesn't have to keep f-ing talk about it...

School starts on Wednesday for me IF I do get in that is... UGH THIS F-ING FRUSTRATION!!...

Met Chie WITHOUT her boy friend yesterday. It was like a 1/1000000 chance to see her alone. Even though she wore like 5cm heels, she was still a head shorter than me. Good to see an old "friend".

Tomorrow is my last day of freedom that means.

SHUT UP.
