Australia, melbourne  Heh, it's been a good week or so catching up with my best buddy here in Melb. I can see how tough life can be living in a entirely new habitat, or country rather. Heh, the days here in Aussie are much longer than in Singapore. The sun is still up at hours like 8pm. If only Singapore could have 4 seasons, aye... I can only imagine how tough it can be to migrate to a different country with a completely new home, new school, new friends, I doubt I'd be able to pull through myself. How dull it would be if you weren't able to forge new friendships with schoolmates and such. Really grateful to Russell and his parents for being such great hosts to my Mum and I, cooking so many meals for us, accommodating us at their house and showing us the city area. It's just really great to have friends like these in your life. It's funny how I'm starting to call this house "home". That's how hospitable they are, opening up their doors for us to stay in. I just got back from having pancakes at this nearby mall, picked up a random 6/10 conditioned exercise bike on the way back home, haha. Took shifts to carry it, pretty cool I guess. Well, this holiday's been great so far, can't wait for the Muse concert ^^ Cheers :D Wednesday, October 27, 2010
Shut Up Azure light penetrated through the solitary dusty window of my dilapidated apartment. As I rolled my head over to my alarm clock - 12 September. Today, was The Day. I muscled my way out of my rickety bed and got on to my feet. It felt like I was wearing a ten ton vest on my torso. Each limb of my body was tensed up and contracted. I was sick of the muskiness of my living room, sick of the visible dust particles amplified by the sunlight. I had enough of it. Despite being in a state of solicitude, I had to do what I had to do. Excerpt from my O's essay for Question 2, hope it's enough. It's annoying how people keep announcing their "scores" online. It's like they have the answer key to the damn papers and are 100% sure that they can score a perfect 100%. What's in the past, should be left in the past, sure we're all taking the same paper, but hey, just shut up until the results are released yeah? It'd be nice not to condescend your peers. Heh, O's have been swell I guess, whether I've done well for the papers, I'll just leave that to time. I really just wanna' get over with it and not give hoot about my performance. Of course, I'm not gonna' neglect the papers and not give it a 110%, but if you've done your best for the paper, is there really much to discuss after the paper's already over? Just waiting each day for the next day to come. Sorta' how it'd feel like if you had some terminal illness and you were just awaiting death. However in this case it'd be the complete opposite and we're all just abiding this time till it ends. Till it ends... All the best guys, don't stop. Just keep moving forward cos' there ain't no turning back. There's no difference between staying on the right track and the wrong track if you're just gonna' sit there and wait. So cheers!

off-track I can't help but tell myself there's some sort of force in my room that prevents me from keeping my focus and mugging, urgh :/ Aye it's kinda' discomforting knowing that all the Sec 4s are out there studying like they've never studied before and here I am wasting more and more time on stupid little activities like blogging. The only purpose us Sec 4s have in life right now honestly, is to study for O levels. I actually only felt the heat about a month ago, and I guess I'll only know if that was too late when the results come out. I've been an average student all my life, seriously. My level position for the Prelim 2 was 135/269. That's a 134 people who did better than me and another 134 people who did worse than me, I'm your median guy. Honestly, I'm sorta' moodless right now. I just feel like sitting here in my chair, rotting... Urgh. 5 more days, awesome. Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Jail Term Somehow I enjoy blogging just to get things off of my chest. Who am I kidding, I'm just sick of doing physics already. Especially after attempting that demoralizing SCGS paper. Argh, just gotta' slug it out for a few more weeks and it'll be home sweet home. I find it ironic how the more I think about the end of the Os, the less I study for it. Gotta' stay focused I guess, but it's definitely easier said than done huh? I'm pretty damn sure that I'm not the only Sec 4 out there right now who wants the O levels right now. For them, they were probably ready months ago, but in my case, I just want this damn thing over. It's such a drag, and honestly, I just wanna' get it off my shoulders. Why do I sound so negative! Hah, ah well, tomorrow's a new day, and it brings us one step closer to the foot of the mountain. Need to start spending my time wisely. I think that's what I said 3 months ago, heh. So long... Am I starting to miss you? Heh, reading my archives kinda' brings back the glory days... Saturday, October 9, 2010
Love You never know the value of something you have until you lose it. Somehow friendships are often taken for granted and aren't treated as delicately as they should be. That being said, we often like to take everything that we have for granted as well, like our education, our homes, our families. All these everyday features that we get to enjoy are often just glanced at, never really cherished in the manner they deserve to be. Having spent 2 years with my class, I've learned many valuable lessons in life. One lesson was to learn how to accept the harsh reality of life, that sometimes, our bubble has to be popped, it's not all rainbows and butterflies in a perfect world where nothing is wrong anymore. It's a cruel world, where there are people out there who value money more than anything, friendships, other people's lives and so on. I've experienced the trials and tribulations of a not so typical student, and yet I've gone through so many good times with these impermeable friendships that I have forged. It's indescribable this bunch, it truly is. Life is now a clearer path to me, it's not just a road shrouded in mystery. I'm now on the right lane, and it's full speed ahead.

back to basics  It's an old photo, but this was the one that kinda' made me pick up photography, heh. Well it's been awhile since I last scribbled on this old blog, guess it's time to start again since I got some time to burn and I need some help thinking about how to develop my art paper. Ok come to think of it, I'm not really in the mood to write today, haha. I guess this post is more like a "welcome back" post. Cheers.

demon  I wanna' fly. I'm poor, not financially but in other aspects, probably lacking in maturity. Lacking the understanding of the value of my possessions. I gotta' take a step back, and take a look at things from afar, see things from a wider perspective. Just look at what I'm posting this entry with, a MacBook. Some people don't even have computers, hah. And I'm only speaking in terms of the living standards in Singapore. How do we measure fortune? Definitely without taking into account all the physical objects in our lives like our houses, our beds, our allowance, does all that really matter? Until technology comes up with some way to measure one's felicity, I guess the only one who can really tell how fortunate you are is none other than yourself. If you aren't willing to die for anything in your life, is there really a point in living? Hypocrisy can only hide you for so long, there comes a point where everybody has to find themselves, discover what they really have in their lives, what they really long for. Self-consciousness is definitely a weakness in the human mind, anxiety about what peers think about your outward appearance, about your social status and what not. I can only hope that I will learn to grow out of that one day. To live in a world where everybody is comfortable without having masks on, no fronts put on. That would be the world. All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem. Martin Luther King, Jr. Beat of the Day: Waterfall - Gavin Degraw |
