today was teacher's day celebration cum Be Youself Day. Sad thing was my phone memory was fully used up to contain memories of me and my friends and so, i didn't manage to take photos with my friends.
and after that, i went to meetup my ex classmates who are waiting from like 9 plus? Apparently, my sec school didn't allow ex students to go in the sch to visit teachers because of security reasons they said. as such, my poor friends from JJ, they finished their mass yoga display at around 9 plus and they have to like wait till 1 plus then they can get into our secondary school just to see our teachers that we longed to see.. my friends they all getting nervous about the neck breaking promos that's coming in 3 weeks time except for roy, my best friend. because he did so well so all his test and common test, he manage to be exempted from promotional exams and we're like so jealous abt that.. haha..

my promos also coming in 3 weeks time. first paper coming up is GP. no failures this time round. i gotta pass it.


Your history is mine..

some photos to share

they rock my socks off at mediacorp.(Me, Bradley and Leonard!)

and i didn't know i did took a photo with my good pal, bradley, a few months ago until lately i found this in my thumbdrive. =)

alright, i'm so lazy to just blog and updated a little bit about myself recently, events that's going etc. but hey, today is an exception.

today there's no school for us because the school is conducting e-learning program at home and we have to login to our portal to do online assignments from 8am to 1pm. So, i guess this is also schooling. but it does makes a difference because u can at least listen to some music and chat with friends on msn or something.. haha.. but from this, i got to know how much i appreciate doing homework using pen and paper. because doing homework online is terrible. Teacher asking u to go and do your own research and it's like so troublesome. the information is available on the internet but you just don't know where to start and which to trust simply becuase there might be errors and lead you to the wrong idea in the end.

and tml we're having celebrating Teachers' Day and 'Be Yourself Day'. and for that be yourself day, our school actually allowed us to wear whatever we like to school tml and i thought that was kinda cool. and i heard my friends from JJ having some kind of mass yoga display, an attempt to break the world guniess world. but the best is still stay at home la.. well, the teachers can celebrate themselves unless they want us to celebrate with them too.. but i think, the most pleasant present for teachers' day would be a no school day for everybody because adults like them don't wanna waste time especially for this kind of celebrations which would be held every year.

alright, short entry for today. would be longer the next time round.

Today was rather an satisfying, happy and surprising day for me. Yesterday had og outing with my friends in JJ and I am very happy to see people I wanna see.
Though we didn’t even talk to each other and it’s merely just eye contact, waves for hello and goodbye and a smile casted on our faces for each other, but it’s enough to tell me that you’re okay. And I felt rather guilty to actually kill those thoughts of talking to you, feeling that you might actually feel awkward. I should have gone up to you and prompted you a friendly how are you or something, but the fact is, I can’t bring myself to do that. Once I have myself looked into your eyes, I immediately turned away because that feeling which I shouldn’t have actually does still exist in me somehow. What feeling was that? I think you know best.
We watched a movie called, see no evil, wow! It’s really see no evil man. A lot of violence for digging people’s eyes out? Having that sharp hook of a long metal chain pierced into the body of a victim? And blood oozing out of dead bodies, almost flooding the screen with each and every scene the movie has. Shi qing, so sorry for asking you to watch such a movie although we know that you would be freaked out, which you really did in the theatre and practically switched yourself off from the movie and seek peace and purity from your handphone games instead of joining us in this bloddy visual experience. Haha.. but it’s sad when some of us are leaving, because I felt that we didn’t actually spend enough time for each other, leaving myself with incomplete task which I planned to perform but just no motivated to do it. Well, like what I said, it’s not how long we spend, but it’s how we spend with each other.
OG 14, let’s have an outing in September shall we? I hope the next outing we have would have more people attending and of course, NO MORE violent movies and short and simple gathering. We gonna spend more time since we hardly can come out together as ONE.
Thinking of you all today just makes myself very satisfied with life.

And today, I had O level English oral back in my previous secondary school. As my friends and I were walking to the coffee shop near my previous secondary school, a lot of my schoolmates who are still studying there shouted my name. and it’s like a lot of people man, turning me like a celebrity. My friends were kinda surprised by all that shouting.. haha.. then, while waiting for our turns for the oral examinations, all of us waiting were trying to glare hard enough to actually guess what the picture conversation was about. people at the table reading the oral thing was like showing us the picture by holding it high up in the air in front of the teacher who’s keeping the time. And gosh, that teacher didn’t say anything about that even though it’s so obvious that we’re cheating.. lol.. and soon it’s my turn, I opened the door with much trepidation, walked up to the examiners and did my best for it though at one point I saw one of the examiners yawning in front of me but I am not affected by that and did my best though.
God, please help me get good grades my oral. I need to ace it in order to reach my target.

And after I finished everything, I can’t help myself from falling back into those secondary school days as I walked pass each familiar corridor, remembering each and every incident that happened at that place. Now I know how hard that feeling was. Then, I walked pass the chem. Lab which my chem. Teacher always brings us to. Then later I heard a familiar voice talking inside the lab. I walked in and saw my chem. Teacher. Mrs teo, thanks for your care and concern for me and my family. Do you know that as I am talking to you, you made me feel as if you’re like someone close to me, showering motherly love care and concern for each and every bit of complains that I voiced out to you about my school and stuff? Anyway, hope you’re doing fine. I’ll visit you again on 1st September, presenting a token of appreciation for you.



Memories must not turn grey, because their history that made your day.

This was what happened today:




Advised to dress in red, seated by 4.45pm :)


Me and my aunt :)

Old light tower that's gonna be standing here to withness the last national day parade before the renovation.


Sea of stars, wasn't that nice?


Watch the spectaculars!


this, i won't forget!


and this too!



fly red and white ballons.. end of parade, goodbye old national stadium.



and a 2min plus video i took.. a bit shaky, hope u all don't mind. i tried my best though.. :)

Forgetting about all the unhappiness that happened to me yesterday during celebration when my phone was being confiscated for using my handphone to take pictures in their so-called restricted premises and I was like so freaking pissed and disappointed because my school, the school rules seems so so inflexible despite having negotiation sessions over the phone by my dad with the teacher who confiscated my phone, that teacher was too stubborn to actually let me be excused from having my handphone being retained by them until the following Monday. And of course, I'm angry with that teacher but then after some deep thinking, I straighten my thoughts and I think, there's no need to be angry or hold any grudges against her because it would be like wasting my precious, non-reversible, one and only lifetime of light years over that teacher which I though was unreasonable and ill-mannered. She's indeed a guttersnipe. When I talk to her, she don't even talk to me face to face and there seems to be a need for me to talk to her side of her face. She's really no manners man.. I thought, talking is the basic commercial ways of communication between each civilized person. And from the way she talks to me and the body language she exhibits in front of me, I can say that she lost her professionalism. So much about her but

ANYWAY, I won't hate her anymore. Because I have learnt a lot from this first experience of losing my handphone to the school rules. L

On a lighter note, I went for NDP 2006 @ National Stadium TODAY! Went there with my aunt. Actually I planned to go with my brother, but then he said that he decided that he's not going because he has got lots of work to do, test coming up blah blah blah.

Let me tell you guys who's reading this entry of mine now. Being at the national stadium was an incredible and enjoyable moment for me especially this year. Apart from those long distance we need to travel from the stadium to kallang MRT after the end of the parade, all the sweat that was squeezed out of us when we were under the blazing hot sun and back aching experience after long hours of sitting, it was after all a satisfying trip without any signs of regrets about coming all the way from bukit panjang to witness this grand and prestigious ceremony.

Firstly, my aunt and I were busy ransacking the goody bags that was given to us at the point we entered the stadium, to find out that it was the same.. flags, tibits, drinks and stuffs. Haha, but a little pleasant surprise given to us was the introduction of this lucky draw contest. We're suppose to clear the trash around us and put it in a trash bag with a sticker with some serial number on it. We're suppose to keep that serial number and find out the results of the lucky draw on 15 aug on the official NDP website. Well, being typical Singaporeans, the sure thing was, I didn't forgo the chance that could possibly let me win something nice for myself or people whom I think that they deserve most. :)

And the parade goes on and on with spectacular and exciting performances that was put up, giving us, the audience, surprises every now and then with the sudden projection of fireworks in the air.. my aunt and I were like on a look out for fireworks in the sky so as to capture those beautiful sparks that's in mid air which light up the dark sky of singapore. But we were all so affected by the effects of visual satisfaction that we were sometimes so engross with whatever we saw and forgotten about taking pictures of it. But well, I actually took a couple of pictures which I would upload later and also perhaps a video on fireworks. =)

And og 14 is finally having an outing at plaza sing tml after so long.. haha.. can't wait to catch up with my fellow og mates. Seriously speaking, I miss them a lot.. I hope they also miss me.. haha.. whatever..

My dear homeland, Singapore, you might be just a small continent or a small dot that's hardly noticeable on world map by geographers, but given this small space that I live in peacefully, you satisfied my big hunger for a total different kind of entertainment today. I'm a patriotic Singaporean, I sang my lungs out for you, Singapore, upon hearing the national anthem. You're my number ONE! It's really our global city, our home.

and my aunt wants me to learn her cultinary skills.. LOL.. i'm gonna be a cook in the family someday. i'm gonna cook, someone else please wash the dishes..

woah, i'm getting into some kind of stress that's self-created. i hope it's some kind of healty stress that could spur me further academically. i've been wanting myself to keep up with the standard like my friends from other schools. so, lately it's just burying my head into piles of notes and doing homework, studying for upcoming test or some self-revision. yes, turning into a nerd sooner or later. but to lighten things a little bit, i had initiated a gathering with my secondary school brothers. haha.. although we are going to have a meal, watch movie and stuff and it's so mundane since we always do that for each and every gathering we have, making some people reflecting strong opposing statements to the planner, BUT, i felt it was a pretty decent gathering. simplicity spells it all. and the most interesting things is that, we enjoyed it at the end of each gathering. well, let's hope that gathering i initiated would happen someday during this coming public holidays.

and i am so excited about national day. because for all these years since i was sec 2, i have tickets to preview shows(don't ask how i got the tickets. i'll never spill the beans. =) ) and this year, it's gonna be different from previous years. though there are tickets to the one and only one preview shows this year, but the tickets eventually fall on my cousin's hands. i'm gonna celebrate with my tv on that day.a phone call came morning,which made me super elated, acstatic, jubilant, euphoric, on cloud nine! I'm gonna be at the NATIONAL STADIUM on 9th AUGUST 2006. yay! i'm gonna be part of the audience, celebrating what every singaporean was proud of. celebrating 41 years of glorious history that our forefathers had fought for. beg me if you want to come along with me. i've got 2, with one to spare. catch my attention with your jealously, look at me in fury and desperation. and perhaps, i'll shall make myself spare a thought of consideration for you. LOL.. nah, i'm going with someone special. :)

i love you, SINGAPORE. 9th August 2006, your day makes my day. i might be just small and unnoticeble mass occupying less an 1 metres square on you, but i have a big appetite for your excitement that you could bring about to fill me with!

I'm finally back on blogging after a long long long long… while. And yes, the reason why I blog like once in a while is because I’m just too lazy to turn on the computer and also busy with school, work and stuffs.

But anyway, life's good for me recently! no longer that disturbed by the past memories that once hindered my progression in life, which once really steal my attention when even the slightest things could trigger my emotions and stuffs. I once questioned myself to these problems pointing sharply at me which I never dared for a attempt to seek comfort in the breeze of reality.

But hey, I soon discovered I'm better off without that. No longer being negative about life and apathetic with what's going on around me. And yes, the green patch which I was once familiar with has now somehow lost it's ability to contribute comfort in my life, lifting every hatred and relieving every strains I have on my back as I walk my way down the boulevard of life. And I don't know who's that fellow who is mouthing about my story which almost turned me into an overnight celebrity. Haha.. but anyway, I have so much to comment about this but, perhaps I'll talk more another day.

On a lighter note, my friends around me are really a booster for me.

To my friends in JJ:

Everytime as I make my way home, I would see you all. Everytime when I need courage, I would be thinking of you all and everytime I miss you all, it's when I really need you all.

After so long you all are still in my heart,

let's not break it and be apart,

because you're my favourite touch.

That's for you, my friends in JJ.

And Og 14, long time no see, I wonder how's everyone doing now. Hope to see you guys at an outing that's coming soon after the common test.

And although I did pretty well for my mid years, I really shouldn't be complacent with it because I could have done better. My effort shouldn't stop here. Especially for my GP, I really need to be more focus on my points and read more. Never gonna let history repeat itself again during my upcoming promotional exams.

Damn, yesterday got caught by my teacher for long side burn? I was like OMG? WTF? *&#*@#*&!! And really, my side burn wasn't long but my teacher still demands a haircut by Wednesday morning. I think she's jealous of my hairstyle. But never mind, I'm am a good student and would obey what the school rules demands out of me. Haha..

I hear footsteps. Footsteps of you walking out of my mind

gary a.k.a MR NICE GUY
