"miraculously, they escaped with minor injuries"

so we had ICtalent auditions on saturday. we were kind of intimidated at first by a few other bands who displayed some skillzzzz during soundcheck. especially the TPJC guitarist who kept showing off his l33t shredding.

there were 6 bands before us. i only found two of them that really stood out, the funky cool NJC band with their uber style guitarist and MELLA and friends.

everything went wrong for me when it was our turn. strap pin was broken so i had to sit down and play AND i pressed the wrong button on samuel's multieffects, shutting off my sound for TEN SECONDS. still got standing ovation from the crowd but it was DAMN embarrassing. wanted to stay to watch the rest but had to rush off for canoeing training. later found out that the tpjc band played ocean avenue and sucked. BEH? what a letdown.

canoeing rankings were today. it consisted of just ONE race, which was really long. got 3rd out of 18 so i guess i did well enough but still have to train more if i want to go compete.

okay la i suck la.

anthony by day

wow such a dude existed in singapore. RAYMOND ANTONY. He's the guitarist of some really old 60s band in singapore that played blues and rock. He totally pwned at the guitar and played it Hendrix style with the strings upside down. Now few people remember him. i wonder if i can track him down and interview him for PW. But i don't even know if he's dead or alive.

and even if he's alive, he might as well be dead.

but the rock will live on.

I don't need your civil war

This weekend was supposed to be one of those sort-out-my-life weekends. but nothing really happened. but i did make brownies.



yummy.





i think i stuffed enough chocolate into my brownies to kill all the dogs in the world (chocolates kill dogs but i like them both). by the time i had finished cutting them up to put in the fridge i had eaten about 1/6 of the whole tray, which was quite alot. and that was my lunch.

spent the whole afternoon trying to power level my guitar skills to paul gilbert level. didn't work out. soon i got hungry and went to find something to eat and ended up stir frying some chicken with random stuff i found in the kitchen and eating it with rice. i'm calling it the chicken salsa thingy and it tasted pretty decent.










haha then soon after that my neighbour came over to give me BROWNIES. they tasted slighty better then mine and the texture was much better too. but what can i expect? first time brownie baking noob vs experienced cook and demonstrator at sajc's culinary club.

everyones talking about ms k now after the events of last week. she walked out of our pw class so our class went to "apologise" at the staff room.

so ms k was going:
blablablablairresponsibleblablablastupidblablawhiningblablaonusblabla
growupblanorepspectblablablarealityofyourexistenceblabla

yj and shaun tried to put up a valiant fight for our freedom and rights but ms k kinda owned them. but you have to respect their tenacity on that one.

i don't really care about it at all. in my opinion tolerance is the way to go here. 2 years later it'll be over and GG no RM. zomg still haven't started on my homework. i hope i don't fall asleep in classes tomorrow. BIG K is watching me.

Sometimes

Sometimes, when i have too many things to do, i tend to not do anything.

Sometimes, when i have too many places to go to, i tend to not go anywhere.

Sometimes, when i have too many choices to make, i tend to not choose anything.

this doesn't apply to money though.

i waited really long for the bus home today. but this time, i did not mind. i did not mind at all.

and i'm still awake.

this week i shall be baking brownies.

Burn It Down

omg i need more sleep.

sleeping late is like a vicious cycle... and mine has been since last year.

was damn tired by the end of sch today.. had the perfect plan to pon syf training and go home to sleep but NOOOO the sch has to block off all exits so that JC1s can't escape sch cos they have to watch some concert. i wouldn't have minded going to concert cos i heard it was quite cool with the percussion and latin tunes and stuff but syf was just a waste of time again. everyone was just slacking around the whole time.

it was like.. 10 mins of footdrill, 10 mins break which extends to 20 mins, rinse and repeat. and a whole lot of stoning at the gallery.

when home right after in ended. overslept on the bus. and had to walk back 2 stops. reached home half awake. then there were clothes to wash so i couldn't sleep yet. by the time all that was done it was 9pm. too early to sleep and too late to take a nap so i tried studying some econs. then realised that there was still PI editing to do. i had planned to sleep at 10pm. what time is it now?

i swear i'm gonna sleep at 10pm on friday. it will be the earliest time i've ever gone to bed in 2 years.

*eh?

2 and a 1/2 hours of preperation, 4 rebakes, intense oven microing... to create:

TEH PWNAGE LASAGNA.
It like... totally owns every other nooblet lasagna out there.
Marvel at its greatness and the cheese. the meat sauce too. and those perfectly lined pasta layers.

and so.

and so my mum has left after her short hectic stay. and i'm without parental control again. my so-called freedom.

the life will go on as usual. OR WILL IT?

what IS usual.

OH NOEZZZ.

now i've come to realise i can never go back to the old.

oh wells.

and my plans to make teh pwnage lasagna tomorrow have been DASHED.

pretty in pink.

The flowers usually bloom at this time of the year. then they drop and die, leaving their carcasses all over the sidewalk. what a sad end. these ones were pink.

My THOTS.

some random thoughts that have no link to each other:

hey you.
the worms ate right through his brain.
you leeched my money in the stupidest way.
5 years of sunday nights.
two kings.
why can't they all just get along.
is it worth it.
you're just like them.
i'll just keep on running.
a moth flew onto tom and died.
you were only waiting for this moment to arrive.
so that others could go on.
when hate was just a legend.
i bought larger sized jc uniforms so that i can wear for 3 years.
when they realise.
its just not the same anymore.
i got 111.

i should've taken the other train.
a spade is a spade.

Ah.

i have never felt this screwed in a long, long time.

i was like zomgfshit and it was like really Totally my fault. but in the end it was settled and its so damn complicated that i won't bother writing it here. i will try to be more responsible from now on.

and i'm gonna chiong 1984 tonight. read it before so i should be able get through it in 1-2 hours. still got lots of homework to do too. ah.

TeH Cleanup part 2

it took me a few hours but i guess it was worth it.

BEFORE:






















AFTER:
























my gosu cleaning skillz.

so i came back late after life con and dinner with the old A4 ppl... my clothes were washed, the house was even cleaner, and the lights were on waiting for me. yes its good to have parents. cherish while you can.

woke up totally exhausted today. like REALLY tired. slept at the bus stop while waiting for my friends, then slept thru econs lecture again. didn't sleep through chinese class because i was too busy trying to do the chinese worksheet. i like, couldn't read 50% of the words. in the end i had to copy from someone else =/. then the reallllllyyy nice chinese teacher confronted me about my compo which i still have not passed up after 4 days and told me reallllllly nicely that i could hand it up next week. and so i will since she was so nice about it.

after that was break, then went library to get articles for gp, then went for gp to stone and fill up some reflection wksht on my article. after that was PW, where i found out that i was screwed for PW since i still have no idea on what i'm going to do.

then had to go for the useless syf training. after a failed attempt to pon, we all got stuck there to learn drills for the whole afternoon. i won't elaborate on what happened but i think everyone should Really relax abit la... sometimes theres really no benefit in getting worked up and pissed off and then ruining your mood over some stuff.

then went to do abit of extra physical training with some canoeing ppl found out that we missed the super happy meals today. sian. so we played around in the fitness corner and then went to run awhile. then i went home and visited my condo's gym for the first time. it sucks. but its enough to do all the basic exercises. did 4 sets and i feel fitter now. just hope i'll be able to make it into the competition.

while doing my situps i remembered some random thing that someone had said to someone else a few years ago which i did not understand at that time. now i understand. and it really amused me.

i guess i can't expect everyone to0 be as nice as me.

The Cleanup

Going on a cleaning marathon. there will be pics and stuff about it because this is gonna be so revolutionary. tonight is the night.

2eh?

NEXT.

i finally did it. but it just got more complicated.

oh well at least i found out that i actually still have ONE MORE chocolate biscuit when i got home. no one will ever understand the significance of this discovery.

but i still have an entire chapter of physics tutorials to do and a pile of clothes to hang up. and i only have 2 days left to do everything i was supposed to do. or else.
