ok fine ppl! i'll update!

fuck i hate common tests. i got 2 A1s, 1 A2, 4 B3s and a B4. this means my nothing-below B4-for-a-main-exam, 3 year streak continues but i'm still not doing well enough. chem was excusable cuz i thought that it was physics on the day of the exam. but i mugged so hard for physics n only a B3??

sigh i hate lit too. should have taken geog. i still don't know what i'm doing wrong for lit. it's always no evidence or not quite there yet. i'm sick of it. i want to be 'there' and not always just missing it. nvr mind. i'll work super hard from now on so i'll get my 9 A1s.

anyway i'm slightly happy right now bcs things are going my way and i'll be setting up a jasmine trias fan blog very soon. be sure u all visit it k! jasmine trias rocks =] n despite what america thinks, she should be the true american idol. like wad guy sebastion said... jasmine was surrounded by powerhouse voices who could attract ur attention for that short span of time. but i seriously doubt if one could listen to a whole album of that. so i'm eagerly awaiting jassie's album. pls dun stall on it jassie =]

ok i better go to mug now. have to improve on my dismal grades. cya n till next time =]





Sushi A and sushi B are on a sushi counter. Sushi A turns to sushi B and says "wasabi" [what's up B]

okies i think i'll jus do an update of certain going-ons recently. oh yea n btw happy b'day imran! =]

well sing to the dawn was fun. i actually was in danger of not going cuz i woke up that morning and fainted in the toilet. somehow managed to persuade my parents to let me to go to sch and for sttd. went late to sch for the first time this year. went back home after sch and came back at 5 30. met j.m.p and roland and we went off to city hall. had dinner at bk. heh i did an 'ajit' there. spilt half my coke on the table, my shoe, the floor and roland's bag. oh well. we then met up with some of the ruggers. followed just, david and wen jie to some bk furthur away just for company. we eventually strolled in at exactly 7 30. was sandwiched between suhas and steph during the production. it was an amusing experience. at any one time either of them would be laughing. the touching songs sung were very amusing too. at the end of those the rg contingent would burst out clapping and cheering while the ri contingent would be sniggering. watching ben twoon during these touching songs was amusing too. he had one earphone in his ear and was rocking his head like he was in a rock concert. very amusing. heh steph, sorry if i got a bit irritating with all those brilliant comments

two days later it was ora. went for the walkajogathon. pretty dunb considering the fact that anyone who bothered to jog attained a top 10 finish. lucky draw was severely biased in rg's favour. only one ri guy got a prize. sigh. the food n fun fair was pretty fun. formed a floorball team with lokesh and vishal. went on an incredible winning streak only to be felled by the rj hockey players. arjun, senthil and ariffin got their hands on supersoakers and got me utterly drenched. i withdrew to the canteen to dry off and hide. got caught by ying sze there who refused to give me change for my $2 and jus gave me $2 worth of cookies. sigh.. i hate doing business with rg ppl. somehow i always get conned. heh. after i finally dried off, i ventured out again and got a full blast of water from harshil. got saoked to the skin again. spent most of the remaining time in the canteen talking to imran. u go imran! heh. went back home at around 1 30.

well nothing really eventful occurring in the past few days. did another stupid thing yesterday though. was so distracted at the mrt station that i went onto the wrong escalator. i wanted to go up and i stepped on the one going down. thankfully i regained my balance in time.

got my mid yr mother tongue o levels in 3 weeks time so i'd probably better go mug now.
ciao =]

well the past few days have been pretty amusing as well as amazing. post-jgs euphoria still hangs in the air. the atmosphere has been absolutely great and for once, i felt like a hero. hope this lingers for as long as possible...

it's been darn right amusing too. the great burette incident on monday probably took the cake. in a boring chemistry lab lesson where mrs kua was busying herself at the front of the class, how could u not expect paranoia. imran, shang and me decided that the distilled water served no real purpose on the bench and tapped it's true potential. Thus began the water wars. shang and me playfully started squirting distilled water at each other and running around the lab at first. imran was dragged into the conflict after slipping an ice cube down my back. the successful ajit-shang tag team combo succeeded in drenching imran but he was on the verge of a retaliatory strike when i attempted to flee his wrath. i hadn't realised that our 'war' had unkowingly caused certain areas of the lab floor to be wet and slippery. thus my lunge for freedom resulted in a slide towards the row of burettes along the wall. bleargh. somehow, i managed to pull out of the slide to prevent a full scale collision with the entire row. however, this effort led to my leg having the lightest of touches on one of the burettes. the damn thing fell and broke. heh so that's how u break a burette while making asprin.

ss/hist today was fun too. my influence on the thinking of others was clearly evident from the quality of jokes brought up today.

mrs neoh: who can tell me what a vocational institute is?
me: a place where u can train ur vocals
mrs neoh: *piercing stare in my direction*
shang: a place where u can't take a vacation [vocation]
mrs neoh: enough with the corny jokes
imran: no but that's wheaty [witty] not corny

we were also critisizing the compulsory flag raising and pledge taking in schools. we were promptly challenged to come up with alternatives to build up national loyalty etc. i suggested that we dance to the tune of the national anthem instead of singing it. many other zany suggestions ensued and for once, no one was asleep.

i think i did ok for chem. mugged quite a bit for this test cuz i needed an insanely high mark to get a distinction for it this term. must move on to sustain my insanely high mark for a math this term and practice like shit now for the test tmr.

i'll be seein ya =]

sorry for not updating over the weekend... my comp got hit bad by a virus.. anyway here i am now to do my 'duty'.. heh..

i'm kind of overwhelmed right now bcs this is the first time i'm seeing my house in daylight on a weekday for about a month n it looks pretty amazing...haha..

well it was an emotional night for us on fri. we had prepped really really hard that week and had to sacrifice all our tests for the finals. at the end, all that hard work paid off though. it was an excellent debate. no one ri speaker was individually outstanding but together as a team, they were absolutely deadly and nobody should blame ac for losing to that team for there are few in the business that could ever rival them. me n terence were soaking in the atmosphere at the sidelines. heh thanks christine for the lollies. i was kinda panicking b4 the debate cause i had nothing to suck or chew and the lolly came along at just the right time.

after the debate, we were all waiting nervously for the results. suhas got best speaker n that was totally unexpected but he deserved it all right. good on ya mate =] . it was the perfect combination eh... suhas first and chere second =p . we then held hands and awaited the final result. ijtp won 3rd place and we realised that holding hands probably did invoke some ancient power. congrats to ijtp.. a remarkable acheivement indeed =] . it was then annouced that we had won and all hell broke loose. the celebrations were incredible [btw the lollie stick was NOT in my mouth when i went up to receive the trophy]. heh i've never been hugged by so many people in one night before. suddenly.. it seemed that all the people who had been screaming and cheering so loudly for ac had shifted over to our side to celebrate with us.. fishy.. we then proceeded to move on to BK to celebrate furthur.

we ran into ac, rg and some ijtp ppl at BK. imran was naming his trophy 'mr stary' [btw congrats for winning that award... no matter how much stick i give u, that was the least that they could give u to award a debater of ur calibre]. frankly i thought that it was a stupid name for a trophy. i named mine 'mr twiddles'. suhas kepy true to his word and did some cool bitchy moves in front of chere [ as tupid thing to do bcs the person who dared him, imran, had left and the only other person who knew about the dare, me, hadn't said anything about it]. we were cajoling auyong into doing some embarrassing dare too after he had finshed flirting with his possy of girls. he rejected the dare sadly. we all left at around closing time.

i'd just like to say my thanks to the following like everyone else has been doing

- suhas, shang, jun yi and terence... u guys are the best teamates one could ever hope to have. i really enjoyed all those fun times we had together as well as all the times we have debated together. we may never be a team together again but i'm sure that we'll never forget this victory. i'll always cherish those moments... [trying not to tear here]

- team 2 for all their support... imran, auyong, zul, navjote and gautam.. thanks for all the support n dun be saddened by ur setback. u ppl are all great debaters.

- all seniors who helped us in one way or another - tim, sheng, yi xun, benuel, jon, preetham, kitson, yi hua... u guys really did an excellent job in helping to bring us to the level we are today. chen seong also deserves special mention for grooming us into the debaters we are today. really aprreciate all the time and effort u spent on us =]

i'd like to thank the teachers at this juncture but i'd probably freak if they ever visited my blog so yea..
i shall also attempt to recreate navjote's feat of putting in a word for each of the ri jgs team members....

suhas, u've been an absolutely great friend and u've helped motivate me to put in my best effort to improve my debating. i still remember that first debate we had together in sec 1. too bad i couldn't manage to progress as far as u have after that debate. ur the best secondary sch debater in s'pore dude.. aim for the worlds.. u can do it..

shang, it's been an incredible joy working with u too. sorry for all those times i've gotten so pissed with u. ur still one of the best friends a guy could hope to have... it's amazing how much u've progressed in such a short while... keep working on ur debating and i'm sure u'll do extremely well in the future.

jun yi, u've also been a great inspiration for me. not only do we work together in debates but for moor house as well. well now that debate season is over, let's focus on bringing moor up to that illustrious first place or at least second. it's been great working with u n suhas in the exco n i sure hope to debate alongside u again soon [in jc perhaps]

imran, u’ve also been one of the greats I’ve worked with in my time here. u haven’t really achieved what u truly deserve but don’t let that set u back. I’m sure u’ll catch up and do a tremendous job in jc. strive hard in ur studies as well n I’m always there to help if u need me k =]

terence and auyong, u ppl have been excellent juniors. i'm sure u'll make an excellent chairman. it's been great debating alongside u in every competition i've been in [from library debates to jgs]. lead them to victory next year. as for young auyong, ur a brilliant young debater but don’t let that get to ur head… continue working hard to achieve the title next year. with so much talent in your batch, I’m sure that u won’t let us down. n also remember to spend more time on ur studies and less time on girls if u want to do well. u go guys!

navjote and zul, the both of u have also been great guys to debate alongside. thanks for all those times u cheered me up zul. dun worry man, there still is some good in the world n I’m sure that u’ll find it very soon. lead hullet to victory =] . as for navjote, I forgive u for all the shit u did to me… u know I dun take anything seriously. keep ur relationship going dude =]

and finally gautam, sorry for all the times I made fun of u. it was all in the name of good humor. I’m glad u’ve toned down as a prefect. keep on striving hard in ur debating.. remember that ur a member of the best speaker club heh.

well I’ve basically covered what I want to say so I shall bid all of u adieu for now. shall be online less often and update less often cause I’m concentrating all my effort on my o levels. heh I must get those 9 A1s.

stay cool n funky =]

i like soccer. phew i hadn't played it in ages and that barren run was destined to stretch till yesterday came along. surprise.. i didn't [or more like couldn't] redo my 2.4 yesterday. so joy oh joy, i could play soccer. tersely testing my rusty goalie reflexes, i prepared myself. too bad i had such a brilliant defence. they were blocking every single easy save-worthy shot. too bad that they didn't understand the meaning of 'mine'. so it ended up that my genius defence conceded an own goal. in the last few moments of the game, i put my cat-like [heh] reflexes to the test and sprung to palm away just's shot. too bad my palms weren't working as well as my reflexes and the damn ball got deflected in. oh well.

i fucked up 3 tests so far. after going 2 months without anything but a1s, i ended the exceptional run in a spectacular fashion with a 56% for chem, 52% for physics and a 62% for lit. oh well.

motions for finals came out today. sigh.. a final to prep for and an exam to die for. mother tongue mid yr is this sat. i just know i'm gonna screw it up. just hope that i dun screw up the 'o' level paper on 30th may. oh well.

i finally decided to go for sing to the dawn. found out that steph and suhas are in my row with the ruggers in front of us and jun yi behind us. heh heh heh... this sould be very interesting indeed.

oh well.. i've got nothing more to say for now. better go back to counting the no. of pixels on my moniter.
