I had fun on Tuesday, man. At midnight, Joel was the first to wish me, followed by my mum and bro.
Then in the morning, can't sleep and woke up pretty early. Carrot cake for breakfast and followed by wishes from Wei Guang and Bernard.
Our class had to go back to school for Bio lessons. Zhi Yuan handed me Famous Amos, a dog toy and a birthday card (Thanks for all those). After the class, was expecting a taupok but thanks to Mr Gabriel, I was saved from the force of Fadhil! (F=ma--- Fadhil=mass accident?) Haha.
Then a gift came from Alphonsus's hand. A bag! Thanks Glen! Rained so heavily before going to Marina Square for bowling. Caleb, SQ, Junrong, Fadhil, Tommy, Khairil, Kaymond, Bernard and Gordon went and played bowling. High score of 108? Haha.
Cafe Cartel was our 1st choice but not halal, so BK and they challenged me to eat 2 pies in 2 mouths. Crazy, the cold pie was easier than the hot one. Ouch. Then met up with family at Suntec. Didn't know Marche was closed! So went to Fish & Co instead. Thanks to the 2 pies, wasn't that hungry for fish and chips. And a pleasant surprise at the end. Should have known Fish and Co. was popular for embarassing birthday surprises. But it was fun!
Kaymond bought a blue belt, and my sister bought Topman Vee-neck shirt! Joel also got me a painting of Spiderman. And 50 bucks from my dad! :D
Really want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes and gifts!!! :D
Then on wed, had extra lessons in school (SS) and had to attend tuition for 3 hrs.
Today, woke up late for lessons. My bro set off the alarm :O. But managed to catch up with it, and pool-ed for a while. It was great! Then Tommy went to my house and found some things better left untold. Haha.
God Bless and Peace.

Sweet 16, can? (:
1 part of my life gone, another 4, maybe 5 or 6 of my life to go.
So many unfaced challenges, yet so much that had already been encountered. I've encountered studies, friends, God... Yet there are still so many stages in life to complete. A test indeed.
No party this year, cos' it's a weekday tomorrow and I won't ask too much this year. Speaking of too much, I find this way too much.A girl I don't even know somehow gets my no, and message me that she has a crush on me.
That's all I'm gonna say.
Anyway, things are, I would say, looking up? My golf is improving, and I beat a friend whom we were competing 1-on-1. But what a trusty sandwedge I can rely on. And he thinks that I'm stupid, magically cutting down strokes out of nowhere, so that he can be on par with me. But no, I have my day and he'll have his. Now there's a 4-week break of golf, and all that I've picked up in the past few months will be gone, unless constant practising during the holidays. But "where got time?"
Also, Chinese exams finished today. Not very sure about 环保 questions, but overall, I shall say it's "okay". Went down to Ajisen and tried the "Volcano Ajisen". I thought it was going to be burning, but it was not half that bad as I thought, pulling it off with a glass of water.
Gordon and Glen went to play PES 2008 (again) and I'm happy to say 1st match between Liverpool and Manchester United went 4-0 Liverpool! Come on, champions.
Okay, time to take the snooze and go to school in the afternoon. I'm in grave danger of turning into pancake. Oh well, there's only 1 life, live it!
God Bless and Peace.

Chinese on Monday!
Hey all, it's been a while since I posted, and I'll just list down the things that happened.
1. Results, of course.
English: 61.8 B4
Chinese: Horrible because I went off the topic.
Physics: 69.2 B3
Chemistry: 68.3 B3
Biology: 64.2 B4
A Maths: 63.0 B4
E Maths: 58.0 C5
SS/Geog: 65.5 B3
L1R5: 21
Level position: 72/269
The results were quite disappointing to say the least, but I compared with my brother's results in Sec 4 and they're almost the same! Not that it matters.
2. Bowling 4 times in 5 days. (Yep. That means donating 25 bucks to the bowling centre.)
Best score: 143! But still cannot beat 146.
Worst score: 66! Haha.
3. Bought Concert Band Tix. The very last one by Joshua Kow.
4. Chinese Intensive Programme (Must practise before Monday, 7.15am)
Funny thing is, if we're caught in a jam that day, we can take the exam at the nearest school! But mine's still VS.
5. CCA results- A2, 2 Bonus points.
6. Finding out that we still have to go back to school during 1st week and last week of holidays. (Welcome to Sec 4.)
7. Meet the parents next Mon. ):
8. Cell outing today at 1.30pm, but dun think I can make it.
9. SL selections coming soon.
10. Tuition all starting already. (15 more weeks to Prelim 2!)
Yup! That's about the entire week. So now it's 4 more days to my birthday, but why am I not looking forward to it? Anyway I think having a mini celebration after O Level Chinese.
God Bless and Peace.

Get in bed.
Hello Tong Tong!
Cute dog!
Okay, it was time to turn back the clock and look at past memories. I'm in need of it.
It was heaven in bed. Seriously.
Friday night- slept from 1.30am, woke up at 12pm.
Saturday night- slept at 1am, woke up at 11.30am.
10 hrs and a half each night, makes up for lost sleep for like the entire year. Plus tomorrow's Vesak Day, which means yet another round tonight! Zzzzz.
Anyway besides the much-needed rest, also time for much-needed screentime. Yesterday went to watch Made of Honour. Surprisingly quirky for some parts, but it was a typical ending to say the least. Then some food and pool before heading back home.
Also, today woke up that late, and 10 minutes later, I was out of the house going to play some golf. Four-ball matchplay, and my partner and I won by 1 hole :P. It was back home and slacked throughout the entire day. But the sad part, O level chinese next week.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, last thursday was the final day of our exams. So some friends went over to play some games. When they left at 6, I sat down on the chair and the next thing I knew it was 8. I read my phone messages and forgot to go for chinese tuition. "S***!" Plus it's so close to the O level exams, I had to miss it that night. Anyway I didn't touch anything Chinese for the entire weekend.
Oh well, still wishing I can get Hillsongs United tix but I guess have to miss it this time around. :( Unless a miracle happens.
I think to avoid any more disappointment, better get concert band tix sooner rather than later. If not, it would be damn sad for me.
Was on the way home today and my parents ask, "What do you want to do for your birthday?" Haha, still wondering actually. Any suggestions :P?
God Bless and Peace.

The End?
So two weeks have taken almost 2 yrs of my life: everything we've learnt in Sec 3 and 4 jammed into these 14 days, and it is extremely exhausting.
Today was the end to a run of exactly 14 days in the examination hall, from 2 May 2008 to 15 May 2008. Okay, if you include the weekends then it's 11 days but still? Just thinking about the entire exams make me sick. Speaking of sick, I actually fell ill last wed, and I think a tinge of my illness still lingers.
4C-ers went on a bowling spree on Wed and Thurs, where we had 3 games each day. That would be $15 bucks already. Still unable to match up with my previous record of 146. Haha still wondering to myself how I got that in the first place.
Today we had the Chinese Mock Exam. It's quite irritating to know that despite just completing the mid-years, there's the actual O level Chinese the following monday. -.- Then one day after the O level Chinese paper, it is the day I turn 16, :P.
As the years pass, the wait for the next birthday is getting inevitably shorter. Or is it because I'm getting older? Only God knows.
Glen, Gordon, Ng Ping and me went toKFC before heading back to school for SS review session. When we get back the papers, there will be a combination we'll see on the paper.
A1- Many mistakes in SBQ and SEQ, ironically.
B2- Missing links and some mistakes.
C3- Missing details and seeing Mdm Kwok personally.
D4- See parents.
I hope there's no D for me, seriously. After the SS review session, which I'm not sure how I did, went to play tennis with Calvin. 1st time I touched the racquet for quite some time. Then had some food there before heading back home.
Samuel Chow told me that there are no tix left for me for Hillsongs United. I sort of expected it, anyways. But can anyone spare just one for me? I missed Planetshakers, thinking that I'd surely go for this one, but going for neither is quite saddening. Oh well, whatever the outcome, I must give myself an opportunity to forgive and let go.
God Bless and Peace.

A week has passed since my last post, and I must say, many things have happened. First of all, the exams.
Been sleeping pretty late, and what's more, woke up on Wed with a fever. I think Glen was the main culprit source. I was eating with him, and he talked quite a bit, so I guess the illness is airbourne. Went back home and took some medication, but it grew worse. It was at night and starting to fall asleep when I haven't really prepared, then the conflict arose.I'm so sorry for what I've been doing these few days, if not weeks. I was self-centered . God please give me inner strength and let me be a stronger person, for I am weak.
It's finally the weekend and I will celebrate it by having my 10 hrs of rest. I'm feeling better now from the fever, but now my throat has a freaking ulcer that makes it hard to swallow (literally). Today, had a mini celebration with bowling. And I didn't touch any of my books!
Well, I'm tired. I'm finally going to get my 10-hr rest!
God Bless and Peace.

It's time.
Time to get my head in the game.
Had my first exams on Fri. CHINESE AND ENGLISH. Paper1.
So it was the 1st day, but already, pen's running out of ink and I haven't been in full gear yet.
But I did focus on English, Chem, Physics and Maths these past 2 days.
They were not bad, but I await the results. Then on Mon it is E maths and SS.
Better go back to the books, cos' I need to start revising.
Going for _____ points. Haha, just doing the best I can.

Sorry for yesterday's post. Wanted to use Glen's iPhone to make a post; thought it'd be cool. But the keyboard won't appear when I clicked onto this white box. -.-
Anyway finally yeaterday we celebrated our full day holiday. It was so good to finally get a chance to get 10hrs of damn good rest. In the morning, had English tuition at home as we prepared for paper 1 (loved the story the hitchhiker) . After that Jeremy was kind enough to give me a lift to Katong Mall for Physics. And he started talking about nosy neighbours, and suddenly blurted out ' You have one yourself right across the street, yeah?'.
How did he know? Weird.
Anyway we spent a good 4hrs doing 6 wksheets for revision. Hmmm time well spent. And at the same time, missed the movie outing at TM. So 3 of us (SQ, Glen and me) decided to watch Iron Man ourselves at the Cathay.
Supposed to watch at 5.30pm, but the timing on the screen showed red (SOLD OUT). So 7.00 it is. It was either the front row or seperate seats at the back. "$10.50 per tix" We thought. And went for the single seats. O_O. D12, E13 and F12, so close proximity.
Went down to basement and never knew there were seats for studying and eating at the same time. Take note of this place during the holidays, haha. So went for Kaya Toast before the movie.
At the fountain right in front of the table, sat a girl sitting all alone for an hour. "What could she be doing, just waiting all so patiently?"
Turns out her boy came around. Thumbs up for loyalty and looks.
Glen was so sure he was going to sit next to a hot girl, turns out it was a small boy. :P
The movie's not too bad, hell lot of humour surprisingly. But plot not as good as Batman Begins, for me at least.
ZZZZZZZ at 2. Wanted to catch the Chelsea-Liverpool game but just fell asleep. Woke up and read the scoreline today : Chelsea 3:Liverpool 2 (aet)
Full time: 1-1Okay, if we actually won the 1st leg 1-0, which was the exact case until thet header in the game, we would have been confident. And if the 2nd leg scoreline stood at 1-1, not only would we progress to finals on aggregate but also on away goal. Could have been Liverpool-Man U, but not the dream final everyone was hoping for. But, that's football.
SA1 starts tmr, better start getting my head in it, not worrying about other things. Cos' what's done is done.
God Bless and Peace. (Wish me Luck!)
