after much consideration and persuation to my mum, she reluctantly allowed me to splurge on my new 28-pounder, 62-incher, stiff, hard, turgid wwooden bow.
three hundred bucks is alot of money to my family.
i cant imagine why people is fighting for scholarship dat only gives u a measely 700 bucks and pay ur pathetic 28-dollar-a-month school fee while they can afford to pay for a 850 buck metal bow in one shot, and cried like shit when they cant get into SRP. c'mon man there's gotta be more than life in all these. i pay life 528 bucks a month, had to even renew my student pass myself but im not whining abt it.
anyway lets stop being so grumpy and lets talk abt my new bow experience. compared to other ppl i've got a real nice casing with sponge inside when other people has only got a pathetic cardboard box inside the casing. thats the 1st happy thing.
2ndly, i got a different limb from other people. i think im the only one with PRETON limbs!! lol dat sounds so similar to PROTON. and i like it cos it made me feel close at home.
thirdly i got what i've always wanted: PINK arrows! black arrow with pink fletches to be exact. oh man they look gorgeous! but theres this minor problem: THEY STINK!!! they hav this vomit-like vomit-inducing smell which i highly assume originates from the glue used to glue the pin behind.
but i still loves my bow :) though its extremely hard to pull, (which is because im too weak), it gives excellent results.
under outstanding coaching from daryl (who is actually two yr YOUNGER than me but is in the national team omg) i got my posture right and guess what WOOO! i have never been so accurate in my life!

after that i got real tired (try pulling it for like 10+ time man) and it becomes scattered. but guess what they could still be fit in a target board.

so in conclusion im extrmely pleased with my bow and i think together with it, i would deliver better results and maybe even win thailand open next yr! haha

**************************
philip was so confident about his SPA.after all, with all the mugging that he had gone through and all the *ahem assistance that he has received, nothing could go wrong isnt it?
god loves punishing overly-optimistic people.
and so after doing all the usual things that one would do in a chem spa, philip begin his titration. he pressed the burette clip....
squirt (no sexual connotations intended please). the solution turned purple.
wtf? what could hav possibly gone wrong? philip begans to feel uneasy. then he read the instruction carefully. aha! the problem lies with the fact that he forgot to add 50cm^3 of sulphuric acid!
so ecstatically, philip refills the volumetric flask and happily add suphuric acid and re-pipette 25 cm^3 of FeXXXX. he thinks that this time, nothing could go wrong.
squirt. squirt. a sea of purple.
philip began to panic. cold sweats break out from his body such that he was soon sogged with his own perspiration. what happened? how could the value be only 4.2 cm? what have i done wrong?
then philip looked at the first line of the paper.
"weigh
7.0 grams of FeXXX"
i have been
weighting 0.7gram all the while.OMFG! OMFG! OMFG!!!!!! i looked at the time. twenty minutes left. i rushed in front to reweigh the FeXXX and got another volumetric flask and start washing up and get distilled water and etc, running back and forth in a frantic scramble. then i manage to rewash all necessary apparatue in 4 minutes, dissolve and fill the flask in three minutes, pipette in two minutes and do the titration in ONE minute. ten minutes that could have changed my life.
i heaved a sigh of relief when the invigilator gives a thumbs-up to my result (orange colour at end-point).
and somehoe i manage to do all the calculation in the rest of the last ten minutes. an extremely close answer too.
moral of the story:
1. dont be too complacent
2. read ur instruction CAREFULLY
3. misplacement of decimal place may have dire consequences

damn so its not only my classmates who think the econ lecturer looks like me. disturbingly, other classes appear to share the same sentiment as well. and im not particularly excited over this newly- acquired common identity with
travis.
(travis was my alias; and since this mr.quek guy is my "future self", he is widely known by that name in my class)
i could imagine myself wearing high pants and talking about XXL shilin fried chicken.
anyway house comm e(r)lection is coming! hope i do get in :)

the council election results is less than pleasing to most of us. popular or capable ppl failed to make it in, but clowns with satellite ears did. the numbers of ppl elected are, dismally low contradicting to popular beliefs that 60-70 councillors will be elected.
some celebrated in joy; other wallow in sorrow. winners cheered with their supporters under bright limelight; losers faded into the dark corners, away from attention.
sometimes its just so cruel that a vote could change a person's life forever. worse still,
no appeals.
i know how u feel right now: a peculiar and twisted concotion of bitterness, depress, sadness, anger, despair, hurt, and hopelessness wrapped up with the false pretence that
nothing has happened but under that layer was a tormented soul waiting for salvation.
but lets face it: its over. nothing can be changed and life simply have to move on.
but to WHERE???! for alot of ppl councillor was their only hope for a change in their life, or maybe they sacrificed all their other stuffs just to bank on this position. with the sudden realisation, i think many people are lost.
councillorship has such a high opportunity cost.

If God Was One of UsIf God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question
And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in jesus and the saints and all the prophets
And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome
And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good

Radiohead - "Creep"
When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so very special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so very special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
And she's running out the door
She's running
She'll run, run, run, run
Run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so very special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
********************
this is one of my favourite songs now.
"the narration of lyric is affectingly pathetic and moving,
taken from the perspective of a self-loathing "creep"
showing an obsessive adoration for another person...
this is a song that resonates with the "creep" and "weirdo"
lurking within u. "
this song was banned in 1993 because it was simply too depressing

as u all can see im not in a very good mood today. what makes it worse is getting pissed off by people at eleven o'clock.
i shall blog abt this when i can reorganise my thoughts. I REALLY FEEL LIKE WHACKING YOU UP AND SEW UP YOUR FUCKING BLOODY ROTTEN MOUTH.
i never expect the degree of detest to be at such level. i mean like, c'mon he's not THAT bad rite? why do u all hate him so much?
i wonder if its just the human nature to pick on someone they dun like. but i seriously hope that, please, just give him a chance to improve himself, instead of condemning him to the hell of ostracization. we have to learn the art of forgivence and guide him to the path to be a better man.
i dun think its a really good thing to judge a person when u only knew him for like, 3 months? for example at first i find *** to be a complete BASTARD. but after knowing him for the better i realised that, he actually has a nice heart hidden under those layers of blubber :) and an extremely shy person towards girls. so now, hes a nice, cute BASTARD. lol.
(gee... feel damn gross after re-reading the rest of this entry... i sound like such a WIMP!!! haha and a bloody loser too! well i think it wasnt SO bad as it sounds.... so DON"T read it unless u want to read a gay man's whining ;) )
i still can remember how too, i bullied by my classmates in sec one cos i was such an annoying fat little bastard. i was snobbish and im quite unhygienic as well, and thus alot of ppl dislike me and trust me, that feeling is hurts. its just like rubbing salt on the wound and i could still remember i used to cry quite often then. even the teacher hate me, (i shall not say her name here) but yups she show it damn obviously.
and then math exam in final yr exam. i was doing and doing and while rubbing off my mistakes i realised my correction tape is dipped with huge chunks of tiger balm oil. i panicked, and i cried, asking the invigilator for help. the rest of the paper was a nightmare for me as i was so shocked and my mind went to a complete blank. and the math teacher didnt even bother investigating who went to do such stuff on me. shes like giving me that kind of "serves u right" look.
my bad experience in sec one forces me to reflect on myself.
what isit that i did wrong? wat isit that ppl dislike abt me? how could i improve myself? and sec 2 was basically my transition stage for my change in character and attitude. i was lucky to get such a fun and cool class for sec 3 and 4 and there i made alot of new friends and i've also improved myself in terms of character and so i become much more likeable and tasted popularity.
right now i would like to thank for a few people who had supported me and stretching out ur hand of friendship during those tumoulous 2 years, without which i wouldnt have been what i am today.
firstly, guanghao. thanks for being my friend since sec 1. i could still rmb how u and kenny used to detest me but somehow, we beocme friends. the biotech fair in sec 2 was such a fun experience and without which, i wouldnt have learnt the art of crapping and lameness from u, and thus there wouldnt be philip the gay today :) do u still rmb how we used to act "zhihao and the gay sissy china scouts" while killing time? haha not to forget the "greatest hits of king JX". theres still lot more to write but i cant simply list out all of them due to time constraints. just want to say u r my greatest source of wacky ideas and inspiration.
secondly, zhihao. i only knew u like end of sec 1 but man, u were aleeady a cool dude then ;). its has been really nice knowing u and sometimes u really surprises me with ur humour. u never say much funny stuffs, but once u have said it will confirm to be damn funny. thanks for going through with me for these 4 years.
jianhong. u r like my very first friend in ri and thank you for spending ur time with me and i really apreciate it. though we began to drift apart since sec 2, i still rmb u deep in my heart. without you i wouldnt be able to go through those years.
dragon, zhaohan and benjamin. from making fun of me we have established to something like a "master-slave" relationship and no prize for guessing who is the slave. and i always kena wwf moves by u all, esp dragon who luvs to twist my arms or do walls of jericho :( but nevertheless those become a part of my memories and now thinking of it, it was so retarded haha. making fun of ben twoon helps to brighten up my life as well.
tangjiao and mathh class co. thanks for friending me during sec 2 and i really enjoy ur company. luv ya lots haha.
yorkwuan. stupid horny boy who luvs whacking my d***. it was quite bad to sit beside this dude and gh cos they would gang up on me and do all sorts or torture, like whacking balls. anyway the ratio of me whacking ur balls to vice versa is like 1:8. i guess we are ball-whacking companions. and u r the guy who introduce me to the world of horniness and those porno talks in sec 2 somehow changed me ALOT. haha.
theres still alot of ppl which i didnt mention but yups, thanks to all of u who has made an impact on my life.
as for my sec 3& 4 class, thank u for entertaining me everyday with ur nonsensical bitching and super funny moments. i still have those pics of jlee getting stripped or stupid wrestling videos on my com :) it really brightens up my day. i'll blog on all of you one day.
now looking back, i think ri has change me alot in terms of looks, behaviour, attitude, character, etc. the metamorphosis would not be achieved if i didnt experience the rafflesian experience.(lol)in fact i wouldnt be what i am oday if not for ri. haha call this propaganda, but surly most ri ppl would agree with me, that our life there is truly,
a walk to remember.yups in conclusion, please just give him a chance. everyone has his follies and instead of condemning him we should help and guide him. next time u all want to do sth mean, just think abt it:
how would i feel if i was in his shoes?
chem spa is really a bad way to start a beautiful friday.
i hate failures. not only it make yourself feel so inferior to people who excels, but simultaneously theres this hurting feeling deep inside your heart.
if only i had studied for the test. if only i had wrote faster. if only i had not screwed up my titration. ifs, ifs and more ifs. continuously stabbing me from my back, as if they were harsh reminders of my shortcomings.
anyway chem spa is such a bitch. for some reason im just so slow in doing things. when people has started putting potassium permanganate into the flask i was still washing my apparatus. when i was busily titrating everyone was busily writing down notes and observations. maybe i was feeling a little SPAstic.
i bet everyone's has just broke their legs by now.
and for titration, F*** i had to repeat it over and over again cos my results keep fluctuating like crazy. and guess what i didnt do questions after the graph. which is like half my paper is gone. feel like slapping the invigilators who keep starting at me and noting down the every mistake that i've made.
get out of my lifeim not coping too well for my studies either. somehow i just lost that fervour that i possess in ri.losing the fervour to do well.losing the strive for excellence. losing the pride i took in my works. there isnt this incentive to study anymore, though a very good reason is that i had to pay an astronomical sum of money to school every month and every lecture i slept through is like ten dollar wasted down the drain.
price should be directly proportional to quality. but alas how wrong am i! i have to apply my own student pass and guess what the school didnt even inform me abt it. so if i didnt bother to ask the school to ask the moe and my student pass expires this month, i will just be expulsed from singapore. i mean like hello can u all just please care abt your student population abit more? this is such a serious matter and you all didnt even bother to inform us. moreover i paid 522 bucks a mth so im expecting some sort of quality treatment. but wat i've seen so far, is, truly disappointing. hello rjc is an independent sch ? please get rid of your government school mentality.
anyway i've manage to find a number of full-fee ppl. me, daniel, rachel, junhans, shuching.. the list goes on.
im quite disillusioned abt junior colleges also. its like each jc cares only abt its own benefits when the purpose of jc is to, provide everyone with a level education with equal opportunities. jcs now are just like fussy eaters. they try their best to pick the best and juicy parts of a piece of a giant piece of meat, while discarding parts that they not need or require and dump them to the "Its The End" rubbish bin of doom. people are no longer going to jcs based on merits but rather what they can offer to the school, which truly defies the real meaning of education. a seven pointer is rejected and posted to yj just because in this system of pick-and-choose, he's not much a need to the school. isnt it damn sad that you are betrayed by your own jc when you give them your complete trust that they will accept you?
sotry 2: a guy from ri is heavily persuaded to stay in a particular jc ad showered with offers and incentives such as scholarships, councillor positions, etc. why? cos the lure of having branded school students is just too tempting offer and an excellent aid to bring up the image of the school. isnt it just sad that even councillors, a position to represent student population, is based on school prestige and not personal merit? elitism at its best, i must say.
i just found this so disturbing. every jcs only care abt their own benefits when they forget that, their job is to nurture students into adults.
fristly, the council election. im really impressed with the scale of the campaigning. at first it would be quite a boring affair, with only stupid lame posters hanging around waiting the be stepped on by people, or camoufalging the whole windows with grosteque faces of wannabees. what i saw, however, was something that is fresher and more innovative. the rubbish bin one was excellent propaganda in terms of design and even their speech was good. somemore they r prc ppl. thus im quite happy abt it as we may be expecting some of them representing their population.
raising the bar is a good concept as well ( gee how the f*** did they put those words there??) but their campaign board....
ghastly, ghastly. h(ohm) impresses me as well, aloysius and chengchai has not disappointed me hahaha... it was just so hilarious... i wonder why aloysius can always make me laugh. i think his 2 new crazy friends are equally cool as well :)
and tagz!!! arrrgh why cindy sing so soft? he is so well-rehearsed that day! and yups not too shabby though. hope he gets into council cos i seriously hope he can be our housecap. hahaha.
i luve the poster that i made for meiyu... its so un-meiyuish hahaha. anyway it is inspired from the album cover of the band "blur" and also some element of pop art from the 60s.
YES im a big fan of pop art. the vibrant usage of colour. the nonsensical themes that the artist use, and almost everything can be turnrd into an artwork. and lastly the incorporation of our everyday live elements into art itself interests me the most.

"are u the one who crush L***?" wth is this what the st nicks ppl are saying abt me? and how did it spread until liddat... i mean like hello we r just friends lah.... my reputation is gone liao lah *sob*
anyway mich has a real funky turf of hair! just like a lion king! MUAHAHAHAH im so evil. but pls do stay cool!
shuching: she so hot! lol ya rite. this girl is from my og but i didnt know that shes transfering to my class until like the 1st lesson. and yeah she talks more now as compared to og days... and shes really sporty too! always play frisbee with us lol (anyway tsk tsk tsk.... the rest of the second intakers must learn from her k)she can do a hearder as well! haha
anqi: this girl always go crazy with michelle. lol i hav no idea what they were laughing about. they could laugh even at the lamest joke such as "james bond" during bio tutorials. its real fun for her to be my lab partner (as in sitting opposite of me) and we laughed so much dat day! haha.
sharon: here's my glam girl! haha i was so shocked when i saw ur friendster..so pretty!! haha dun worry u r still pretty in real life :P. in fact i envy u!! i can never look good in photos haha.
btw miss photogenic is also miss hockey! haha so i better dun offend her more or else she will whack me with her stick. and im so happy that shes my lab partner! stay funkae as always! :P
heres a gr8 pic of the week!
PLUNGING NECKLINE
im so glad that i can finally get to eat my mum's cookings after two weeks. to some of you two weeks may seem like such a short period of time but to me, this is one of the most tortourous, fatigued and despairing two weeks that i've ever have. doing housework is so exhausting and irritating u know, like having sex with horny desparate whores that keeps coming back for more and more of it. the only difference is that it ISNT addictive
maybe i was such a pampered brat ha. well i cant help it. being such a male chauvanistic pig dat i am, i "trust" (a more suitable word would be heavily-depended or parasited) my mum to keep the house clean and wash all the dirty laundries (literally) so that i could devote my energies to watch "a kindred spirit" and chat with ppl online. so it was very irksome to see a huge pile of laundry waiting for me everyday when i got home, to perform the sacred ritual of pouring Dynamo™ all over them and concocting a sluicing cocktail of bubbles.
and ants. urgh i hate ants. not only they r so... black. furthermore, they create a itching sensation when they crawl up ur legs and god-knows-where. the grossest thing is that they love to taupok once-living objects. during this period i saw this dead lizard on the floor engulfed by millions of ants. wait dun they only like sweet stuff? :| i gues lizards are so
sweetall i can say is that im in an exhilarated mode after seeing her prescence in this house again, and guess what it has restored to its former glory! i luv clean houses :)
but my mum isnt very pleased to see me. the 1st thing she said was :"OMG what has happened to your hair? u looked like a mat now" omg the 2nd last thing on my list of "which race of people would u want to be" is mats. no prize for guessing for the last place ;) hey i like my current hairstyle ok?
i think i still prefered to be controlled and pushed around by my mum, ha at least there will be ppl who will do all the stuffs for me and i dun need to care abt other issues beside mugging. i think im not independent enough to manipulate and micro-managing all the stuffs going on in my life. i mean like i've sacrificed so much time cleaning up the house(which were due to my lack of efficiency and inexperienced in this field) which the huge amount opportunity cost has to be incurred. to think that i actually spend 1 /12 hours just to iron my uniform. bah.
anyway back to the topic of singapore idol. its more like heartland honeys showdown with a wide variety of ah lians and saggy butts. but at least we do not have to tolerate the likes of sandy chua anymore.
and yucks yucks yucks edlyn ang lookalike is on the loose! omfg how can the likes of jacqueline ong be on such show? no wonder we have a falling birthrate cos that is all we can offer :(
i alomst spit out my dinner.
on a lighter note there are cuties like rebecca lim, and ling lee! yeah was much happier
bleh my mum is trying to control my computer time cos of my dismal results. and the only activity she allows is blogging. damn now i cant cha online anymore. see below for quotes she said:
"你再敢跟别人写我就把电脑砸烂"
"写写写这么没出息整天跟人家写"
"你知道你的学费每个月是五百块吗? 整天只会浪费父母的钱."
"你跟人家写英文会进步吗? 看看你的o level 只有拿一个 B3"
so i guess my online chatting session is shortened.
