weh?

my weekend.

went brandon's house with joshua on friday. we spent the night playing winning eleven and smackdown on ps2. haha the cage matches in smackdown were really retarded. after that we went to eat nasi lemak then slept around 3 plus.

woke up early for canoeing training. took 980 all the way to kallang, but it broke down on the way so we walked the rest of the way. canoeing training was more interesting today.. the coach gave us this adventure race thing to have some fun rather then just canoeing up and down the river. then after the race (which me and jonathan won) i discovered i had a 4 cm cut on my sole. ouch.

tried to do house stuff on sunday morning but woke up to late.. only managed to clean up a bit and collect the clothes. then went out to buy shoes with the 06a04 ppl. we ended up NOT shopping at all. instead we went to watch WOLF CREEK. its like... the most pointless show ever.

summary of the show: 3 people go on as roadtrip. car breaks down. friendly guy helps them out. turns out to be a psycho killer. girls try to escape. die in process. guy escapes. the end.

yea then we went to eat then went to esplanade to slack and talk by the river then we went home. it was fun.

keh?

my aunt just sent me a $1000 cheque. WTF. its time to buy new shoes. i think i'll donate the rest to charity. or not.

qeh?

my spagetthi didn't turn out al dante. dammit. but the sauce was good.

yet another slack day at school. i didn't learn anything new today. it was elsie's birthday so we had some birthday cake and sang song in the caf after sch then went to eat at marche.

went compass point to buy more food but there wasn't much in the supermarket so i bought mostly junk food, drinks and some frozen cakes and took a taxi home.

and that's how i spent $50 in one day.

yeh?

had to wake up early for canoeing training today.. but couldn't get myself to get up so i forcefully dragged my body off the bed and landed painfully on the floor. that woke me up.
canoeing training was fun and tiring as usual.. haha heard heard other ppl saying they couldn't get out of bed this morning too.

after training went for lunch again at army market. we all ordered food from that taiwanese stall that gives huge portions of food. i decided to order a $4 "value set" fish and rice. i felt ripped off cos with the $5 normal set you could get another huge piece of fish. value meal my ASS.

after that i FINALLY went shopping for food at hougang point. bought lots of pasta stuff and meats for my upcoming pasta frenzy. i saw freddo(frog) chocolates so i bought them too. somehow they're kinda nostalgic cause my aunt used to buy lots of them from australia when i was young. also bought eggs, orange juice, canned soup and meat. and those arnott shape crackers(another nostalgic thingy)

i decided to make steak for dinner with my newly bought chuck tender beef. since i had NO experience in cooking steak, i just dumped some random seasoning powder, chilli powder and herbs onto the meat and threw it into the frying pan. it turned out to be FREAKING NICE, although i overcooked it to medium rather than medium-rare. gonna try cheese steaks next but then i'll have to go supermarket for more meat.

i will sleep hungry tonight because there is no more food. looking foward to some real food tomorrow at my neighbour's house. the feeling you get from sleeping with an empty stomach SUCKS so i i'm gonna start donating my savings to some children's fund.

crap now everyone knows about the arctic monkeys. soon its gonna turn into some huge pop shit in singapore and they'll be playing the songs over and over again on the stupid radio and mtv. that really sucks. oh well.

today was academically unsuccessful. but it still would've been a great day except for the fact that the lift broke down again.

behind.

a little more than a year before, i could've never imagined how my life would be like today. being suddenly put into this kind of situation hasn't been easy, but it sure has been fun.

so it looks like its time to take my life a bit more seriously.

i'll need to:
-shop for REAL food or i'll be eating canned food everyday
-bank in the money
-start recording my expenses
-wipe the dust off my study table
-clean up my room
-scrub the soot off that pot i burnt the rice with.

i'll try to accomplish ALL of this over the weekend.

ceh?

it is DONE. for convenience's sake i have decided to give up my dream of setting up a chain of nasi briyani restaurants and instead going to jc. i am definately gonna regret it in a way but i'm looking on the brightside, which is still kinda good.

ok i'm don't want to shove this onto my tagboard so i'll put my pure honest thoughts here:

-how have i misled ppl into thinking that i slacked for o levels? did i ever say i wasn't studying? because i never denied studying at all. look at prelim 2 a maths. even though i failed it again i had studied for it ALOT and u guys knew it. and laughed at me.

-about the slacking part, yes its TRUE i still slacked more than i would've liked to during the o level period. in the 1-2 months before o levels i was still playing glen's PSP day in class and the going out for occasional LAN dota-ing. but the big difference here was that i actually got down to serious studying when it was time for it. (i'm not trying to imply that i slacked and got gd results, i worked hard for it)

-crab friends. i don't see how you guys have assumed you are the ones unless you had been discouraging me from studying, which i did not notice?

-main point here: how has my apparent impression of a slacker pissed ppl off? have i affected ppl with my so-called "misleading" and make them think its all ok because ming tuan seems to be slacking so he'll suck like shit? or is it that ppl didn't expect me to do like that so now for some personal reasons they're unhappy with my results? answers to these are optional.

"you're missing the point. you led us to think that you were slacking." that is known as a LOGICAL FALLACY.(yes i have been listening in GP class) and that kind of statement goes nowhere.

i don't expect these questions to be answered and i don't expect you to see my point of view since you have always been so self-righteous.

ok anyway i would like to thank all the ppl who have congratulated me on my results over the pass week (family, friends, neighbours, relatives)i really appreciate it.
tomorrow will be the last day of the holidays... going sentosa for CG outing and probably staying over there and catching first train to sch the next day. sounds like lotsa fun. after that i'm gonna pull up my socks and start catching up in the syllabus. MUST start taking education seriously.

veh?

the thought just popped up in my head. it said don't forget. but i don't even know what i'm not supposed to forget.

it was a cold lonely night as i walked back home from the bus stop. suddenly there was sweet beautiful ROCK. some van was parked by the road playing AC/DC hells bells. it was freaking surreal. nightwalks are always surreal.

BEH?

today was THE DAY.

so it started with sitting in the hall listening to hakboon's speech on how suck the school was this year. getting my results was sort of anti climax. i was expecting to get the slip and slowly open it to reveal my fate but i then before it was my turn i saw our class list on the desk with numbers beside our names. i checked my name and the number was 10.

it took me awhile to realise that was my freaking score. TEN. UNBELIEVEABLE. i thought i would be getting 14-15 but somehow i got TEN. derric and friends were like "WTH ming tuan got TEN! closet mugger!"

well, i don't see what the hell is wrong with studying for o levels. YES i did actually study hard for o levels and i'm not gonna deny it. in fact, i'm proud that a total non mugger like me was able to pull through the studying process.

the breakdown:

English A1 (saras expected me to be surprised but NO i wasn't)
Combined Humans A2 (somehow did it)
Geog A1
Maths A1
A Maths B3 (my first pass for a maths)
Phy A2
Chem C5 (expected)
Chinese B3

i'd like to thank the friends who pushed me on to study for o levels everytime i felt like slacking and provided the peer pressure which really kept me going, and thnx also to those crab friends who kept telling me to stop mugging, which motivated me to work even harder to pwn their asses.

now with 10 pts, i have given myself 2 options:
-stay in sa
-go poly

i will really have to think about it over the weekend. meanwhile, there's canoeing training tomorrow. (actually its today) finally, a canoeing training with canoes. shd be fun.

O lvls gg no RM.

heh?

haha miss k really didn't come again so it was a perfect day in school except that i missed a stop when i fell asleep on the bus home, which sucked.

summary

o level results coming out on friday. then i'll have to make decisions. sian. i HATE decisions. i don't really care how many points i get anymore, i have a feeling that i'll just look at the result slip and go BEH?

its been more than a month since my life has TOTALLY changed. yup, a whirlwind month for me. for those who have asked me whats all this bullshit on the more recent entries, some background info: my family has suddenly migrated to dubai because my father got a job there, so i'm stuck living here in singapore with my 1 year older brother. so yes i'm FREE. i can do WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT. but NO. i can't. the burden of responsibilty weigh me down. living without parents is SO overrated.

new life, new school, new people. new life has been really interesting so far and there has been lots of fun times, like going out whenever i want, my many mishaps in the kitchen, exploding appliances etc. my house is still in a mess though. REALLY gotta clean it up one day. i've lost count of how many times i've told myself this.

SAJC has been a really great place, got to meet lots of ppl, making new friends, meeting old ones and i have no regrets coming here instead of slacking off my 1st 3 months. the great days of going out with the og and cg ppl will be something to remember for some time.

sadly, jc education kinda sucks for me. really. i'm definately not cut out for A levels studies. i've spent most of the lectures and tutorials refining my art of sleeping unnoticed. and the marathon sleeping during lectures. its FREAKING BORING(for me). maybe i just don't "get" the point of converting partial fractions or all the econs bullshit. and looking at how hard ppl mug for a levels, (not that prominent in sajc, i'm referring to certai jc's) poly seems very appealing now in its educational aspect. decisions decisions.

first lesson was econs. i passed the mini-test, which was a miracle considering how i haven't learnt anything about econs so far. after that was chinese. mr center-putting was missing from the class so we spent the free period talking about.. stuff.
lit was as usual. then the class skipped econs lecture except for a few guai kias. went to sc to play carom. the carom boards suck cause they are so rough but dai hong was owned everyone.
after GP tutorial there was class photo taking, which was quite interesting with all the lame poses. then went to play pool with josh and joel. i seriously have NO pool skillzzz and i was the only newbie there but i somehow beat joel once. i really sucked and missed lots of shots but somehow all my balls disappeared slowly and i won. haha. got owned in most of the games though.

everything will be perfect if miss K doesn't come tomorrow.
nothing can be better than it is right now.. i kinda like this life. more stuff is gonna change. so be it.

leh?

what is keeping me sane? the chocopies. but i just finished the last one.

peh?

the hairdryer exploded today. it waz Ub3r C00L.
