cant get these words out of my head.

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

less than 20days to go.

mum went through my prelims results again a few days ago, then she saw this line in the teacher's comments/remarks part. it says 'a well respected individual...' then she asked me, 'what have you done in school?!' hahaha big joke.

my love is acidic. pH<3. -zy

jamming tmr at fourtones studio, hope it will be good and the mesa would be available for use.

last day.

today's officially the last day of school, which means its now the self study phase, which is the final one, before the real thing. for the first time, i hear the school song being sung so loudly, with this funny old man leading us. college hymn for the last time as well.

i can still remember, last year, life was hell for me at tampines jc. i couldnt wait to get out of that place, in search of a better jc. what i had in mind was that if i dont get a change of environment, i'll probably mess up my alevels.

some of you might know this. if my L1R5(raw) is:
>14 i need to accept my fate.
14 mjc
12 sajc
10 tjc
8 vjc
thankfully, by God's grace, i got 12. from a mission school to another, but still under the same big st andrew's family of schools. was really happy that no more gonecase school for me. got the subject combination i wanted, physics-chem-math-h1econs, as i thought this would work best for me.

08S02 was my class, it was a class of 28students-4retainees, 7 scholars, 17locals. initially, i was very surprised im in a scholar class, which implies stress! the china scholars dont talk much, with a malaysian forming the great wall with them. cambodian is super hardworking, but with almost illegible handwriting and still trying to learn to speak chinese. ricky is probably the most singaporean of the scholars, he speaks like one, does things like one and thinks like one. kushi's from india and caroline em from indonesia. i can still remember how people like sam and sheldon went back to their most familiar cca(basketball and band) after trying out rockclimbing. and dixon loo begging ben liang to get into odac. this is where all the fun starts.

teachers were
tan jiaqi-who leaves at 2pm on a normal day. she's my ct and chem tutor.
william lee-math. he thinks every math sum is easy.
annie tang-old and wise, at least thats what other gp teachers say she is supposed to be.
huang kexin-physics. one of my favourite teachers, funny but fierce at times. yes, grass should be green.
benliang-econs. only gives boring lessons, and everything he says is on moodle.
ben soh-pe. i didnt attend his lesson for a full year. im on permanant mc, for the bilateral pfps.

after a few months, closer friends were found. sheldon, samuel, kishen, chan, ricky and dixon.
we played hard for one year, got into trouble sometimes. in the end, only 21 promoted. nicely done. but we did learn that good results dont come easy.

while all the above were happening, i joined ocip. took up this chance partly because i missed the one in anglican, sports players were not allowed to go due to holiday trainings. but through it, met many new friends. and grown alot to become more thoughtful and mature. photographer, pubcom, and most importantly, a member of the vietnam ocip team. friendships were forged, and the fun will continue among these few of us. drinking soon?

this year, 2009, is when all the real fight begins. a change of people leading us through this battle.
jasmine tan-ct and chem. everything is good about her, just left one thing that im still curious about. and she knows too much about me.
mr sia-physics, after june hols. good, knowledgeble enough to think xray machines are funny.
mrs seet-econs. not really an improvement from ben liang, at least not as boring. its a different style.

been improving my grades all the while, fighting for the cookie and a spot on the notice board. the stress level has also been building up and never subsided. maybe its this, along with the degree that my sis got spur me on to work harder to get better grades.

the ocip camp, that was supposed to be carried out, was cancelled after h1n1 hit singapore and got so widespread. now, its just like the common flu that we used to know. but im glad that all the publicity stunts that we prepared for did not go to waste.

prelims just ended weeks ago. got drunk, dead drunk with the ocip peeps right after prelims ended. since the prep for prelims, i've made an effort to put down my guitar and bury myself in all the notes and the practice papers. results did prove that it works, so they'll remain in the store for now. i'll start playing again if the prom band is confirmed.

today marks the final day as a student in sajc. farewell assembly was good, congrats to the prize winners. phototaking in school uniform for the last time, all these will be kept as memories. im not gonna talk much about it. the last time i'll see my friends in relaxed mode in school uniform, the last time we'll do such crazy stuff in school. but the first time JASMINE TAN IS IN A SKIRT!!

in the short 1year plus in sajc, i thank God for roses by the wayside, and the thorns they may contain. for guiding me through probably the toughest time in my 18years, and also blessing me with such great friends. people i'll like to thank? there's lots of them. but just to name afew,

1.the ocip team, especially john, kx, mdong, melodie , olivia and peter.
2.classmates, sheldon, samuel, kishen, chanphearum tech, ricky and dixon.
3.teachers, jasmine tan, huang kexin, mr sia, charis lee, charissa choo, william lee, derrick ong, miss tay and many many more.
4.pastor gerald! most of you may not know who he is, i borrowed a watch from him during the ocip selection camp last year. ask and you will receive, seek and you will find.

From misc

From misc

my hand's itching from not touching the 6 stringed things for days. thursday and friday sounds good to play around, given that i do the rj paper, hci paper, vj, tj...........and the list goes on and not forgetting the beloved ten year series with soultions. it will mean i might not play guitar soon again.

and i broke the les paul's tone knob, each one cost $10 for some plastic. and they come in sets of 4 for the original one by gibson (._.lll)

29 day race to the start of the big thing that'll decide my future. and congrats to chan and caroline who got nominated by the school for the psc scholarship. shouldnt have wasted my time away for the past 1yearplus.

i nearly laughed till i died when i logged on to facebook today. vanessa went to try this super lame app called 'how dr boon are you today?'. fyi, dr boon is the principal of anglican high school, my alma mater. and is denoted by 'boony'. she can be quite nice sometimes.

then you might wonder who 'cheongy' is. she's the super irritating and maid-like vice principal! its definitely not a good thing to be like her on any day. i still remember her shading her face from the sun during morning assembly with those kinda tissue packs. its not big at all. so its either(to her) the tissue pack is damn huge or her face damn tiny. my class calls her 'the maid'. the paw sessions that we used to have on wednesday assembly are now more or less gone thanks to her. so much for being a mission school.

32days, going on to 31. study hard my dear friends.

Monday 5 October 2009

detuned all my guitars and chucked them aside in the store room. its time to go all out and start to push myself to all the As.

i prefer to take things easy and slow though i dont have much time left, 36days. by the way here is a nice video to maybe take abit to time off your study schedule, enjoy. i know its in b/w, but still good enough to be on my space.


if you think its not enough, nice songs on the sidebar on the right. thanks olivia for the intro to grooveshark. keep pressing on, for you wont know what is the limit without even trying.

im finding some joy in using twitter, thanks to those who asked me to use then just disappeared from the tweeting place when i just start to find my way around.

now i seriously think that the school should just leave the marks as they are and not moderate anything, its unfair to those who are left halfway hanging and moderation doesnt really help to up the grades. just gotta work harder to get the grade that you deserve. take it as a lesson learnt and nothing more or less than that. want to get your math grade moderated up by 2%? think again. although it may look good on the stats, we are just deceiving ourselves. hire better teachers and get rid of those useless bums around to really up the grades. im not content with my prelim grades in any way, theres still lots to work for. attend lessons+self stufy is the way to go. think you can only depend on self study? that works, if you already score As for everything and no need help and you understand every single bit of the rather useless notes that we get. this goes out to those who are thinking of ponning school and self study at home.

fushun mushi is gonna have his last day on sat, i'll attend the sat service this week to say goodbye.
