Blog

today I slept at 3 after writing the last blog post. I set my alarm to ring at 11, which was when yuchuan smsed me. I replied and turned over to sleep. then i woke up at 4:30. so pissed arghhhh.

(more…)

today was fun fun fun fun!

started at 5:30 when my alarm rang which I forgot to turn off the night before. so I woke up and tossed around and set it to snooze for a few moments, then I finally set it to dismiss and I slept until 7. my mum and I headed down to mapletree business city which was some super fancy place! the seminar room had a mike for every person and it’s cool as hell with all the glass and stuff.

all I can say is that it’s super super packed and fun ahhh I can’t WAIT 😀 I do hope we get the room with the wifi because then we can stop the others from using our wifi while we surf all night 8D but it’s probably going to be used by the teachers bah

I’m quite uncomfortable with the idea of going to six flags, I don’t know why but amusement parks seem so scary to me 🙁 maybe it’ll be cool enough to change my mind?

my only other worry is that we don’t have enough time to order all the stuff people requested before we move hotels 🙁

mr. yong sent us back to lab 5 directly in his car (thanks so muchhh) and we managed to arrive during the facilitators’ discussion which I did not understand anything about. so I stoned around and watched Exam with yuchuan while the other people from the OT went to buy KFC. I only watched the movie because yuchuan promised to walk with me to the class bench later. but I got word that the person I wanted to look for went overseas. but it was a nice movie (I kept asking yuchuan questions because it was so full of suspense)

I pleaded with rayyan and he allowed me to go to starbucks to look for marie mingkang and shungit who were having a study session. marie’s brother managed to get her a bottle of long island iced tea so they gave me the remainder (1/6 of a bottle) to take back to school (thanks :D)

then we set up chairs and stuff for human foosball which everyone was really afraid of getting found out. we didn’t so it was good.

we went for dinner at just-acia in marina square! I’m so thankful that marie mingkang shungit and yiren went with us too because at least I had people to talk to. then edmund started to play those games where he points in random directions and asks a question and we’re supposed to answer after noticing the pattern.

I really like those because they challenge your mind and make you feel great when you find out what it is

and I camwhored with nicholas a lot haha.

bah I wanted to go play pool with them but the artclubbers were leaving so 🙁

—

artemis’s fac dance is so interestingly fun haha

—

was a bit annoyed at someone today. he kept being childish and insulting my weight. I think he’s the only person doing this now; ignoring him seemed to do the trick.

why do such people exist I hate it.

—

and wow I managed to find out something all by myself and I’m feeling like such a super sleuth 😀

shit it’s 2AM again but other peoples’ blogs are so cuuuuuuuuuuuuute and interesting.

one day I’m going to wake up at 5AM and go to the beach to watch the sunrise and just forget about all my troubles for a few hours. that would be awesome.

one day I’m going to go out and just trek around urban areas with a friend or two. just chatting and talking about life while doing so. no pool, no bowling, just some random urban exploration. sounds fun.

I don’t know why but I have been so busy that I have been sleeping at 2-4AM for the entire past week which is terrifying.

a lot of things happened today.

–

it was the final run of dancenight!

–

18 dummy is really catchy wow

–

I wore this dark red checkered shirt which jheong said was an uncle shirt (for the third time, I think it’s the checkers)

–

I stepped on a (female) bboy because it was completely dark at the backstage, which made me feel horrible and depressed for a while

then she danced fantastically so I forgot all about it

I’m still very sorry, whoever you are 🙁

–

when I was watching jiansheng do his bboy part for the 5th consecutive time it finally hit me that he was no longer the gorillama I knew in sec 3 but an amazingly cool bboy (still very lame though)

weight loss gogogo!

–

this female chinese dancer sprained her leg or something and was crying when she left the stage

I should’ve asked if she was okay instead of standing there 🙁

–

I took a ton of photos with yuchuan’s dslr.

they all look fantastic. should’ve taken more.

–

and I talked to her oh my god

–

I’m so thankful I signed up to be in the backstage crew

it feels great when you see all the dancers cheer and scream and whoop and laugh after the curtain call

you get a million thanks while you busily vacuum the floor and open the curtains and get flowers and feel appreciated

all the cip hours are just… bloody meaningless numbers

although you’re not part of them, when you see that the event that they’ve all worked so hard for, that they’ve rehearsed thousands of times before, with their friends and on their own, just for the 3 shows which people will be clapping and just going “that was a good show” without really considering the effort put into the whole event for the past few months

when they pose as a group in front of a camera and grin widely while their faces glisten with the sweat of their hard work or something

when they furrow their brows in determination before entering the stage

when they all come together to put on the best show you’ve ever seen with your two eyes (because in this show you can actually empathise with them)

you truly yearn for something just as epic of your own, so that you can look back at the times and smile and say “that was a good show” and actually mean it

am I still waiting for that chance, or is it already here and I don’t know it?

only time can tell!

it’s been a hectic and entertaining 3 days for me and i have learnt a lot of stuff in the past few days but it’s not due to HBL

late night math lesson (7-9)
suddenly after this day I had a sudden connection to 11S6A
maybe it was because we were finally walking home as a class and goofing around and singing party rock anthem at the TOP OF LUNG and scaring the girls and having fun which made us all very very happy to be in the vicinity of each other. thank you, S6A!

HBL
much like homelearning during sec 3 to 4, teachers for each subject thought the HBL was dedicated to them so in the end we recieve 6 subjects x 3 weeks worth of homework to do in 3 days

normally this would’ve been possible but basketball finals on friday (which completely ruined the group mugging session at kang’s house) and dancenight from 9am to 10pm on saturday (no regrets! ) kinda upset our timings

total work:
chinese HBL+zuowen+reflections, GP HBL, computing video, 6 econs case studies + 2 econs essays, HnF proposal, math tutorial 5B, PW EoM+GPP, splash awards video+ppt

what’s worse is that I’ve been playing around that list for the past 6 hours and not actually doing any of it! 🙁

RUMOURS
it was pretty damn funny, the set was fantastically done, the humour was spot on and kenneth was silly
I forgot everything though so whoops no review

dancenight
yesterday we had dancenight rehearsals and it was more mindblowing than the previous one
all I will say is that 1. it is very good 2. there is party rock anthem (duh)
and people actually thanked me for moving stuff around (“siao this guy bufflord” LOL) and opening the curtains and they applauded the entire backstage crew which made me feel good inside

polaroids and personality
i’ve found a good source for instant cameras and I’m willing to buy one for $100 just to take photos during special events just to hand abotu. but everyone’s telling me that it’s a bad idea and I’m really feeling stupid about it
is this why I never seem to fulfill any of my dreams? when people start to doubt me, I start to doubt myself and I generally feel like a loser. when I ignore them it makes me feel horrible, much more so when they’re right. but when I listen to them and I don’t do such a good job as I did, it makes me feel so much more like a loser

I’ve rediscovered Mambo No. 5 and it’s on permanent loop right now

less being sad and more econs!

I don’t know why but I’m staying up to say this but:

(more…)

it’s that time again when you feel moody but don’t have a reason to be moody and you get annoyed at everything and all you can do is to just sit there being pissed at everything.

and when you get pissed at everything you immediately don’t feel like doing anything which would make you even more annoyed at everything since nothing is being done and when that happens you get increasingly annoyed until you get really fed up and that sucks

maybe that was because I wasn’t talking to anyone noo

I’ve gotta be less paranoid.

it’s harsh being part of the backstage crew. your friends are with their own dance crews, the only guy you talk to has to leave early and you’re all by yourself: no one offers you dinner (and you don’t eat at all), you mope in the audi only to get chased out and people shove and rush past you to get to the stage.

but it all pays off

when the performances are so spectacular, when you get tapped on the shoulder two times, one by the one you admire so much and another from one who appreciates your contribution, when your friends say hi and express amazement and encouragement at your seemingly dry job, when you see them do their amazing on stage like completely and radically different professionals…

trust me, it’s going to rock

$10 | 29th and 30th May

See you there! (or maybe not since I have to be behind the curtains)

oh god chinese test tmr fml fml fml

I didn’t get into faccomm. was very disappointing at the start. but I sobered up and well, at least lixian’s a very responsible person! I wish her all the best in her future faccomm and CT repping endeavors!

today was combined sports meet, which means that we got to stone around and whatever for 4 hours once more. kinda boring. then marie kang and I went to lab 5 to play TF2 then we went home. rather fei.

and tmr is chinese oral oh the regrets didn’t study blah blah blah.
