Heys, everyone.
My week was fine.
Phy test was challenging,
But I'll most probably get a distinction for it.
Math test-surely able to pass it.
More tests next week.
S.S, Hist, Geog, Chem, C.l, A maths.
Yeah!
I love tests.
I've changed my perspective of them ever since i became a...ooops.
HaHA.
Well, I dont know if im one.
My eyesight's been deteoriating ever since I started poring through books.
I suppose i have mild astigmatism.
How would i look with glasses?
I think its so cool.
HAha.
If i had to wear glasses, i would choose "transitions".
Their lenses are like so hip.
They turn into temporary shades under UV light.
Ok.
Enough about glasses,
I do not crave to become a nerd.
Being one actually isolates yourself from the social world.
That's what i think.
Anyways.
Our school had a CNY celebration today.
I was one of the performers.
It's so obvious.
"CNY wouldnt be complete without Chinese music"
Quoted that from the concert's emcee.
Haha.
Quite true.
Before I went to school something happened.
I was late.
And so I was frantically trying to look for a taxi.
But for some reason,
My c.o friend who lives a few blocks away spotted me through his Dad's car window,
He asked me to get in.
And so I got a free ride to school.
That saved me 5 dollars.
Praise be to God!
And thank you,Benedict.
The C.O played a number of songs.
Gong Xi,
Kuai Le de Luo Suo,(sounds cheem...haha)
And,
Jing Se Kuang Mu.
Had to don my C.O suit(affectionately called the mao ze dong suit coat by the Teacher IC.)
Stuffy.
But the performance was COOL!
Received many rounds of applause.
Looks like C.O's glory days are returning.
Or maybe its just a flash in the pan?
We'll leave that to SYF 2007 to decide.
Everyone's expecting a "Gold with Honours"
From us.
But how will we be able to obtain the prestigious award?
If we only have a measly 8 people enrolling in C.O?
We had about close to 50 last year.
What is happening to C.O?
Im concerned, although I hate the CCA.
About its reputation.
Would you have joined C.O if someone said it was "sexy"?
That was exactly what happened on CCA orientation day.
My Sec4 Erhu senior was yelling through the mike in the C.O booth
"YO YO YO..
THIS IS YOUR DJ SUN WEI YANG....
JOIN C.O!!!!JOIN C.O!!!
IT'S SO HOT!!
YOU'LL BECOME AS SEXY AS ME!!"
OMGosh.
He's totally retarded and mental.
He kinda scared away potential people from our booth.
And successfully portrayed the image that C.O was gay.
Everyone's just so pissed with him.
This is the worst year of recruitment.
I also believed we did not put in ample effort to enrol more people.
Or rather, the wrong methods were executed.
Yeah.
Enough ranting.
So yeah, after the performance
We all prepared to go to Shaw Lido to catch "I not stupid 2"
It was a school event.
It's"so lame".
Cheesy plot.
You'll get what I mean when you catch it.
Basically,
The show zoomed into the lives of three adolescents.
Who have problems communicating with thier parents.
As their parents did not click with them.
Yeah.
I guess i should not elaborate any further.
Go and watch
If you want some laughter.
Jack Neo's films are more of "edu"tainment
Than entertainment.
Which is why our school forced everyone to catch it.
And I will have to write an essay on it.
A movie review in Chinese.
It's Homework:)
That ROCKS!
Following that,
My friends and i decided to play LAN gaming at "cyberian",
Which is located at Far East Plaza.
Played Warcraft 3 DOTA(descent of the ancients)
A popular game type.
My first time playing DOTA.
But I was not bad.
Haha.
Did not get killed at all.
Also had a Battlefield Vietnam match.
So altogether we played about 2 hrs.
MY day rocked!
I speak as if im so deprived of fun...haha
I guess I'll have to go LAN gaming less often.
Although today was my first time in the year.
Musn't get addicted.
HAHAH.
I shall stop here then.
HAVE A GOOD DAY TOMORROW!!
Wishing everyone a HAPPY CNY!
XIN NIAN KUAI LE,
WAN SHI RU YI,
GONG XI FA CAI,
NIAN NIAN YOU YU!!!!
UNTIL THEN!

Hi everyone.
How were my past days?
WeLL.
Here goes.
Got a new erhu instructor.
Better then the previous one, at least.
Confused with 1st chapter of A.maths
Guess i'll have to practice though.
Can't afford to fail next week's test.
And stayed back until 4pm to study in the library.
Chem, Hist. and Geog.
There are 2 things about the 1st chapter of geog i dont understand.
Monsoon system and Ferrel's Law.
Chem's so easy(for now)
Already at Atoms.
Can grasp all the concepts.
History is cool.
Learnt about events which sparked WW1
And the damage done.
But the lesson was a little boring.
That's just the 1st chapter.
Already at Nazism.
Have outstanding h.w
Chinese argumentative.
Hope i will finsh it by tomorrow.
Im going to make sure C.O doesn't screw my studies.
Have 4 upcoming performances.
Im looking forward to it!
Not.
"Nothing is responsible for your education, only yourself."
Well, I've no choice but to abide to that stupid phrase.
So, yeah.
The week was *fine*
IM SO VERY STRESSED.
IS THERE ANY WAY OUT?
I DONT THINK SO.
I'll think I'll stop here to prevent ranting further.
Bye.
Going to study now.
Gotta go out in 4 hrs time.
To a special youth service at Faith methodist.
ByeBye.
NOTE:
Pardon me for the irrelevant title.
Im on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Bye.Bye.Bye.
GOD BLESS!

Heys everyone,
I would like to apologise for not updating this blog so frequently...Im sure all of you should have known....if you have read the previous posts.Yes, because I've been studying, and C.O has resumed...for the very worst(shall further elaborate on that point later).Okay.1st day of school wasn't exciting, except for the donning of the long pants.For almost half of the day, we were confined in the classroom doing class administration crap(class rules, expectations, election of class monitors...you know the rest).Yeah...it was pretty boring, I've to admit.Last Thursday,I was quite astonished when my class teacher offered to appoint me as one of the class monitors...so im currently under probation...haha.For your info, I was never a class monitor in all my education years.Hahaha.But, if i do become one, I will have to take up a great deal of reponsibility.The plus side is, I would attain extra CIP(community involvement programme)hours...which means I might be getting a 1 point deduction from the "O" levels, if combined with the 80 hrs I already have from C.O performances.Lol.It doesn't seem impossible to hit a 100 hrs now, only if i can get that post, that is.I do not know what qualities my form teacher sees in me, but she claims to have spoken to my previous teachers, and they've given very good testimonials about me...Wow.I really didn't know that I was a role model student?That's cool :p Anyway, I shall now share with you a terrible incident...
A tragedy which almost occured
It was the 3rd of january, 2006.I was approached by my C.O huqin section leader after school."Eh, BPKY, you wanna perform on the 6th of January?Its for the secondary one orientation campfire."I do not know why, but I just agreed without any second-thoughts, as I thought that this was going to be a good opportunity to get CIP hrs.He replied,"Okay, so see you ar...I heard there's gonna be free dinner, so isn't that great?" I thought that free CIP hrs together with a free meal would be more than enough for me...So why should I reject the offer?But as I looked back now, I realised that I had made an unwise decision...On the 6th, almost everything went so smoothly.We had to practice from 2pm-8pm.It was really crazy, but we got ample breaks in between.Yeah, and we really did have free dinner, but it could not even compare to hawker fare.I received a packet of mixed rice,(probably the worst set) which consisted of only vegetables, rice and only a morsel of meat, and my thoughful friends, upon seeing how pathetic my meal looked like, offered to give me their prawns...Yes, it was quite unfortunate of me to choose that packet.Yeah...But at the least, I didn't pay a single cent for it at all.Haha.And so after the dinner, we had to assemble at the football court to prepare for the performance(what a weird location, isn't it?)Following this, we got glow sticks(as it was quite dark by then) to view our scores...but we preferred to hang it up our instruments instead:p...Okay.To cut the long story short, the darn weather ruined everything.When the sec1 camp commandant asked the C.O to start performing, it began raining heavily when we played the first note.Very cool huh?All of us immediately took our instruments and rushed back to the C.O room, at the same time trying to prevent our instruments from catching rainwater(maybe most of you do not know this, but the erhu's snake skin, which is covering the resonator box can never come into contact with water, or else it would warp, leading to either it being permanantly damaged or affecting the sound quality).Yeah. However, moments later, some sec2 junior informed us that the rain had stopped.So we shifted back to the stupid location.However, this time, it started drizzling when we started.We had no choice but to carry on with the performance...Fortunately, we only had to play one song...But something happened to my poor instrument.As I was awkwardly trying to shield it from the rain while I was performing, it still got a little wet.That was the worst part of it all.Therefore I tried using a cloth to wipe off excess moisture from the surface(even when water comes into contact with the wood, the sound quality would still be affected...that's what I dislike about delicate Chinese instruments)hahahah.When I reached home, I left the fiddle to dry under the air-con,tried using a hairdryer,and anything else to ensure that it was in normal condition.Paranoid,you might say, but I like to treat my instrument with extra care(the other fact is that my parents would kill me if anything happened to it):D I am still unsure of whether it is fine.So I might have to pray hard...lol.END OF STORY.( I know its full of crap...must try to cut down on it)
All in all, I would love to conclude that my 1st week of school sucked.Yesterday wasn't so bad, except that we had 7 subjects, which also meant that we had to bring most of our books to school(that's including A.mths, Chemistry and Physics...The 3 thickest books of all) haha.Im definitely looking forward to better days....
Enjoy studying, everyone! :p
Take care&God bless
Until next time.
