Showed weijian and yihan to the job at NTUC today. But the interviewer wasnt in, so they'll have to return another day. aww.

Then we decided to go to ehub to watch movie. But then yihan wanted to go to white sands to retrieve his bicycle, so we went there first. And I still know how to ride a bike =D even though its been like 5 years since I rode one. haha weijian cannot balance properly :P

Unfortunately, due to a communication fault on my side, justin couldnt make it in time for the movie. sorry D=
so we watched madagascar 2. really stupid, lame but funny all at the same time. lol that old granny kicked butt :P
After that we wanted to go bowling, but when we went down and saw the waiting list.. haiz cannot make it la. So we went to play pool instead.
Omg, I'm much better at pool now lol :D at least I managed to play properly and not miss every single time like back at the chalet -.-
Cos there were just the three of us, we took turns to play solo. And I won my solo game =D even though it doesnt really matter that much, since yihan won his too, but still =D
oh ya and there was one group of guys that kept going 'f*ck you la f*ck' like every 20 seconds. so vulgar D:
and yihan damn nice. better than weijian who didnt lend me his phone cos mine couldnt work.
Went to pastamania for dinner. ate aglio olio cos cheapest wad. Uh oh, I had cheng boon-friendly food for the whole day. D: bread for breakfast, kuay tiao for lunch and now aglio olio for dinner. I'm like turning into a cheng boon. Noooooooo!!
On the way back I tried doing pull-ups and did 2 =D at least I can still do some.
Today's outing was damn expensive ($16.30 to be exact) but it was fun! =D

Lol they're having prom right now. I wonder how it's going.
Just the slightest tinge of regret that I didn't go.
But who cares anyway.

Wow that outing just fell apart in a flash.

Posted by Kelvin at 9:41 PM

This day didn't seem so bad. Even though it was as boring as the first.
On the way back home though, I started crying.
No, not because I was sad or happy, but because my eye was irritated by the wind. -.-

Anyway, I had a bunch of strange dreams.
Yesterday I dreamt that Amanda (the one from ugly betty) and I travelled back in time to erase Justin and Jessica. But we messed up, and there were two jessicas, one 'evil' and one 'good'.
Then I had another dream that kkj and I were computer viruses hell bent on destroying the world..
And I also dreamed that I told cheng boon: "Wad the f*ck is going on?"
lol.

Damn writing a proposal is hard. (no, not the wedding kind)
Anyone wanna go out on the 29th of November? (this saturday). tell me on msn. even if I'm offline.

Posted by Kelvin at 10:32 PM

Today was supposed to be a crappy day.
Got forced into the job by my mum, meaning that I couldn't go out.
So I sulked for most of the day.
The job was as BORING as hell.
Not to mention tedious.
Then I got a headache in the middle of the day.
I got so tired... the job's from 9 to 6...
Even though I made $40, so?

But then after work, I accompanied my mum to tmall for dinner and to buy my shoes for work.
Then I saw someone who brightened up my day.
Even though it might not have been that apparent to you...
And then I bought my shoes.
So maybe it's not such a crappy day after all.
(:

I don't feel so bitter anymore.
Ah well.
It's not good to be pissed. You know, bad for health.
So SMILE (: (:
BE HAPPY!!!

Smile like you mean it...

Posted by Kelvin at 10:22 PM

I feel lousy.
L-O-U-S-Y.
And pissed.
And angry.
And I also dont know why Im angry.
Theres no reason for me to be angry.
I mean, its not their fault.
Or my fault.
And I cant possibly blame my mum..
But whatever.

Ok, now if any of you want to go out (however unlikely it might seem) please inform me waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in advance. Like, a week?
Ok cya for now (:

There goes my holiday.
Nothing but jobs, jobs, and (a) job.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, because no one cares.

Now for another week of loneliness.

Posted by Kelvin at 12:45 PM

Strange dream.
First I dreamt that I bought a PSP from a vending machine. Then the battery?? died and I had to recharge it.
Next the world was ending. A group of us were fleeing from this... person? who was about to explode? We hid under cars n stuff.
Weird.

Can't believe that I just dozed off again.
Just like that.
Now I'll have to wait till midnight to get a proper sleep -.-
Ah well.
I shall eat. And get so full that I'll be so tired and go to sleep. Haha. (:

Pants worn in school: Size 36 (changed to size 34 in sec 4)
Newly-bought pants: Size 30
and the new ones are still kinda loose.. haiz

Damn.. I just thought of something, and then my mood crashed.

It was less of an interview and more of a confirmation that I would be getting the job.
Work starts on 1st December.

Now is anyone interesting in packing vegetables/selling oranges/etc? 'Cause they are looking for more people..

Posted by Kelvin at 3:55 PM

Just got the call. Now for the interview.

Posted by Kelvin at 3:17 PM

Strange, confusing dreams these few days.
Like last night, I dreamt of my O level results. D: And the worst thing is, it seemed so real!!! OMG cos the results are like totally sucky. Heng when I wake up and found out that it wasnt real... but what if it IS?!!? ):

Finding it difficult to sleep again. Even when I'm tired, my body refuses to go ZzZzZzZzZ

Ugh.
BLISTERS SUCK.

Why the hell do I feel like this.

Posted by Kelvin at 5:59 PM

ZZZZZZ super sianz. nothing to do, no one to talk to. I could die of boredom.
Time to continue watching friends.

Posted by Kelvin at 1:05 PM

Just came back from a jog. Damn tired. Sorry la, I not as fit as some of you k? And its been sme time since I exercised anyway, so I gotta start.

I love my mum :D
Bought me 2 pairs of shirts and pants. That fixes my wardrobe deficit.
Although I have to lose a bit of weight to look good in them...
Time to stop eating I guess.

Oh and I officially HATE the holidays now. Miss school. D:

Posted by Kelvin at 8:26 PM

Interview couldnt be conducted since the person who was supposed to be conducting it was at home sleeping. Since he/she worked late last night. i think.

filled in the application form, then completed this really silly exercise. a bit insulting really. they gave me simple questions on the worksheet like link the product to the name, what is the expiry date of this, etc.

will be getting a call in the next day or two for the interview. i think.

oh yea and she said that my mandarin not like sg mandarin, more like westerners' mandarin. zzzz really meh?

and i dont think anyone else wanna come along and try for the job as well? cos i think there are still vacancies.

Posted by Kelvin at 1:10 PM

Yawn. just woke up. Guess I was more tired than I felt.

Interview later zzz

Heh back from chalet already. Slight change of plans resulted in me n wj going back one day earlier than intended.

Didnt sleep at the chalet (but then again, who does?), but didnt feel tired at all. Spent the night trying FFVII Crisis Core, listening to music and watching Mamma Mia! the movie.
Second day was spent at the arcade (zzz waste of $5) and observing people play pool. yes i know I cant play it for nuts.
In conclusion: chalet was fun, even though i didnt do anything. :D

eh why teck li never go deaf when he listen to music while sleeping? and it was so freaking cold that i had to turn the temperature back up -.-

Nothing much done today.

Looked through H2 Chemistry questions, didnt want to look at them anymore. 'Nuff said.
Trying to watch all episodes of Friends, but they take a hell of a time to load.

And a possible job interview clashes with the chalet.. zzz
I seriously need to buy new clothes.

Went out today with jiahao, bing hong, eng leong, justin, weijian.
weijian came over first to transfer a game from my com to his psp. but then it appeared that it couldnt connect. so after about 15+ min of trying, he realised that it was becos he didn't verify the connection on his psp. I was like -.-
and then were stuck near IKEA for like 20 min since bus 58 refused to arrive.

finally met up with the rest of them at E!hub. watched Quantum of Solace at 1245. felt a bit bad smuggling sushi into the cinema. but who cares anyway. also bought coke and popcorn.
abt halfway through the show, I suddenly needed to go to the toilet. but I just ignored it and tahan till the end of the movie. which was like 2pm+. must have been all that coke I drank.
after the movie we were clueless about where to go. at first say go bowling, but then we were like want/dont want. so this went on for some 12 min. and I was supposed to make the decision. becos apparently I was the 'group leader'. :/
then later say go LAN. so we were at the bus stop for another 15+ min... waiting for bus 3...
in the end we just walked in Pasir Ris Park for about an hour. quite nice wad. pretty relaxing. you know, connecting back with 'nature'...
we also went up the bird watching tower. there were a lot of suggestive images and messages there... *cough*

when we finally got out of there, we realised that we were back where we started, before we entered the park. yippee.
then we went to white sands. eeee the KFC shrooms burger not nice one. also increased in price liao. haiz. inflation woes...
after justin and bing hong left, we bumped into teck li and dion. FYI, this is not the only shirt I have k. I got others. just that I have a rather limited wadrobe. since I dun buy clothes often.

then we went to library. jh, el and weijian all took out psp to play. so i went to get a nice book to read. it was called 'The Darkening'. its quite okay, except that I only managed to read the first five chapters before going off.
I dont know about you, but I found today fun and fulfilling. Yes i can hear the sarcasm in your voice eng leong... but really, it was fun for me. and it was great for all of us to be reunited again. (shame ranon couldnt make it though)

Welcome back.

Well, so it's finally over.

The secondary school stage of my life has passed.
There are so many things I want to say, but I'm not sure if I can finish writing them all here, or if I'll even have the patience to. Also, since this is my 100th post, it will be dedicated to my secondary school life experience.


Secondary 1:

I entered Ngee Ann Secondary, not knowing what to expect. I joined not because I chose the school, but because I was too unconcerned about my choice of school at that period of time. So my parents chose NAS for me.

I can still remember the first day of sec 1. There I was, a lonely boy in an unfamiliar, alien environment. I remember wondering where there heck I was supposed to go. I can still recall that there was a large board at the drop-off area, indicating which class we had been allocated to. It read that I had been placed in class 1R7. Well, I thought, that seems fine.

The memories are flooding back now. In fact, it was raining on that day, wasn't it? That was why our form teacher was late on the first day of school. Ah... Mr Fong. The so-called 'dreaded' form teacher. As far as I know, that was the only time he was ever late. So I entered the class, and saw only one familiar face. For some reason, I didn't miss my old friends at all during that day. Not one bit.

So, the sec 1 orientation camp. For me, it was quite 'memorable'. Mainly because I learnt one thing about the school the hard way: the fact that toilet paper was not provided in the school toilets. Wtf! This resulted in me getting stuck in the toilet for over one hour...

However, it was also during the orientation that I made my first few friends (by talking about Final Fantasy, of all things!). So maybe it wasn't that bad after all.

And then there were the lessons. Who could forget our first english teacher.. *coughfailurecough*. Luckily our next one recitfied that. And Ms Gan talking about bugs and bags in a vain attempt to educate us on DNA... and our 'super' history teacher with her obession with the Black-Eyed Peas. Mr Fong with his insistence on punctuality and perfect (and nerdy) attire. The end of reccess would cue the start of a race to see whether we could get back to class faster than Mr Fong. And we were a 'racist' class... lol...

My circle of friends didn't really grow much. The initial count of some 3-4 good friends eventually grew into a group of ten: Justin, Wei Jian, Tan An, Jia Hao, Ranon, Bing Hong, Perry, Eng Leong, Tian Qi and of course me! We did some really stupid things (well it was mostly ranon and jia hao) I recall that ranon once stood up and walked around the class during CME when we were supposed to be reading the useless 'textbook'. The best thing was, Mr Fong was in the room, sitting at the desk. But he was so focused on his marking of scripts, he didn't even notice!Sigh.. those were the times.


Secondary 2:

Not really that different from sec 1. We got a new form teacher (Mdm Goh!!! :D) who was actually really nice to our class. And Mr Chee, who helped all our Math grades improve tremendously. Unfortuanately, we weren't so lucky on the english side. This had to be a record, we had, what, 4 english teachers for this year alone? :O!!!!

And then there was Mr Lim as our history teacher. I remember he was always sweating like mad (lol no offence) and the first time he taught, justin, miki, wanyi and I were counting the number of 'k's that he said. Barely half an hour later, the number had swelled to over 100. And looking around made me realise that we weren't the only group that was doing this. Just about the whole class was doing it lolololol!!!

However, this was the year that I was terrified that I would not get promoted to Secondary 3. Because I practically slacked for the entire year. Looking at my end-of-year results:
English - A2
Chinese - C6
Mathematics - A2
Science - C5
Geography - B4
History - B3
Literature - B4
D&T - B3
Home Economics - B3
Art - C5
I realise that they sucked, big time. But at least my fears of being retained in sec 2 didn't come true.



Secondary 3:

The first day we got back, we were all laughing at how idiotic we looked in long pants. Haha. Mr Lim became our form teacher in sec 3. Taught much better :)

But the biggest change would have to be the splitting of 2R7 into the various classes. Most of us went into either 3R1 or 3R4(yay).

I have to admit, I didn't have a very good impression of 3R4 at first. My thoughts the first few days of sec 3 was 'why is this class so noisy' and 'I want 2R7 back!!!'

Things got slightly better during the sec 3 camp. I believe that was the only time that our class was truely united. That camp sure was fun. The night walk (not really that scary), the limited shower facilities (lol), the food (wasn't that bad tbh), the PMS-ing instructor... all of it. It was really great. We were the only class that managed to make a working raft and sail it. It's no wonder that we got the 'best class award' for that camp.

Do you still remember our two instructors singing 'Can't smile without you' and crying? I do.

I felt a little lost in this class, as though I was attending classes with people who were no more than strangers.
My grades took a real beating too. My english remained about the same (A2), chinese and D&T (B4), but the rest were all Cs.

That is not to say that there weren't some memorable times too.

Who could forget 'Mr Muscle' and his attempts to teach our class A.Math, resulting in almost all of us failing the subject in the mid-year examinations?
And Mrs Teh, a fantastic chemistry teacher. Always nagging at us, but actually liking our class.
And the lessons after the end-of-year examinations. So relaxed, so carefree. Can wake up slightly later and go to mac for breakfast.



Secondary 4:

This was a totally unexpected year. Many twists and turns, all of them leading to different things. The main thing would, of course, be the studying.
Before the start of Secondary 4, I always felt a little unstressed. As in, I was never really too concerned about my studies. I mean, sure, I did want good results, but I just didn't work hard to achieve those grades. I was always leaving work unfinished, lazy to do assignments, etc.

So when the 'O' level year got here, I knew that I had to buck up and quit dreaming. 'Cause things don't just happen without effort. So I started to put in more effort (at least I think I did). Hmm, let's see. I always used to score terribly for my subjects, getting an average of C5-6 in Chemistry, and ALWAYS failing A.Math. It became much better this year.

Design & Technology is a subject worth mentioning. I remember, in Secondary 3, I promised myself that I would NOT drag my portfolio till the last minute. However, I ended up dragging my feet till I realised that I simply could not procrastinate any longer. It's a good thing that I woke up too that, otherwise, who knows? I might have not completed my project at all.

While the results aren't quite what I had in mind (preferably straight A1s), I think I've done the best I could. Isn't that what matters? And the 'O' level results are more important, so I'll just wait for that.


During Sec 1-3, I was pretty much happy. I didn't know what 'emo' was and was never pissed off at people. When Mr Lim showed us what some of us might go through this year (cue pictures of emo people), I didn't think much of it. However, a few months later, I felt sad. Yes, I actually felt SAD for the first time in the whole of my secondary school life. That was over a trivial incident, and I quickly got over it. Unfortunately, the emo feeling didn't end there. It came back to haunt me in later months.

Looking back, I realised that I only starting to feel so-called 'emo' after I set up this blog. I guess it was caused by a feeling of inferiority. I saw people having fun with their friends, and it made me think, why don't I have friends to have fun with as well? Maybe the loss of friends after 2R7 split up had finally caught up to me. Or maybe, I was just wallowing in self-pity.

So, as it stands, I still have two close friends in this class and one from another. Oh, and I also received my first ever birthday present from one of those friends. Yes, you might find it unbelievable that it was my first, but I'm not a social butterfly, 'kay?

And yep, this was the year that I had a minor crush on someone. In fact, Teck Li got it right back then, in the D&T workshop way back in the first few months of the year, when we were working on our D&T projects. So there was some truth in those constant jokes about me liking her. Sometimes, I wondered whether to tell her, but then decided against it. 'Cause, like, last few months already, tell for what? Later depressed then cannot focus on exams. I don't have much to say about this, except that it was an on-off feeling kind of thing, and it's pretty much gone now.

Although there have been some unpleasant experiences, given a choice, I would still go through the whole secondary school life again exactly as it was. 'Cuz memories are priceless.

There were a ton of other things that I wanted to type, but I can't seem to recall them at the moment. And if I were to post every single memorable incident here, this post would take several weeks to type out. So I'll just end it here.

So what will you guys be doing after we have disbanded?
P.S. I wonder who still reads this blog.

Well, went out today with justin (Hah! See, I do have a life). It was kinda on short notice, but since I wasn't going to get anything else done (playing all day long), I just went along.
We were supposed to go to the HMV building at orchard road, but spent about 20 minutes wandering aimlessly because justin forgot where it was :/
Somemore it was raining lor. And since I was wearing sandals, it got all wet and squishy (yuck). Thankfully we eventually managed to locate the HMV building, but not before we had been cornered and 'forced' to buy something to support job creation for the unemployed. $5 liddat gone liao.. zzzz
Bought the present for someone. Not that expensive though, but it's the thought that counts right!?!? He better not complain... lol
When we were done with what we wanted to buy, it was already 3.30++ liao. Then we realised that we havent eaten yet. So at first we headed to takashimaya. Then we decided to just eat at tampines, cos the food at taka very ex one.
However on our way back on the MRT, we foolishly forgot to get off at raffles place to switch trains, so we ended up having to wait until the train departed for raffles place again then we got off. During the time spent at marina bay in the MRT, we saw this bunch of girls busy camwhoring... hm...
So for linner/dunch we went to LJS at Tmall (no its not at century square first storey anymore). The portion abit small leh (5.50 for 3 pieces of chicken and a small serving of fries with coke) but it was okay since it was late liao.
I feel a little tired right now, but it was fun! (sorta) must go out more..
But first, must study chem and bio D:
