The second day of school seemed to go pretty well...lets see...I slept during Chemistry...in fact our entire row was sleeping during the first 10 minutes...bunch of stoners we are...got caught eating gum during the phtsics period...luckily...Michael Lim didn't really make a big fuss about it....he only warned that if I continued chewing, my lips would fall off..lol
I wonder whether bridge is really such a fun game....maybe I should ask Wei Hao or Tin An to teach me how to play it one of these days...but I seriously doubt that A Maths Yeo encouraged the playing of cards..it just doesn't seem right....
Gotta stop slacking and start mugging soon if I want to achieve my goal of getting at least 15 points during the O levels...much more realistic than some other people...6 points???!!!....have we become RI or ACS(I)?...the standards at SAS are much lower....
I am thinking of watching a movie soon...maybe after the O level Chinese Listening Compre and Oral...anybody wanna join me? (Maybe I will use this opportunity to invite Charissa for a movie....:D...in the presence of Ker Han of course...and with his permission....)

Ahhhh...back to Singapore, back to the authoritian government that has made the name of Singapore so famous and back to the tyranny of St Andrew's School...why did the holidays end so quickly?.....
The idea of dedicating songs to raise money for the SAV is not a bad idea but the lack of songs really irks me...due to the extremely strict guidelines set by the Student Government and its teachers, many songs have been censored due to "inappropriate" content...sheesh...I didn't realise "Shut Up" by Black Eyed Peas is too vulgar to be aired on the school's PA system...
I received some advice today on how I should go about with my friendship with Charissa...very useful... good advice is rarer than rubies....
Have to finish all my holiday homework by today...and I only have an essay to finish..so far its proving very difficult..my English really sucks...

Farewell to all my friends....farewell to my computer and farewell to Singapore... Malaysia will be the place of my residence for this weekend....I will try to bring back some choice foodstuffs from Malaysia for all guys out there...I am sure that chewing gum and bubble gum will be very welcome...
Is it just me or has Chong Ming become more snappish? I can feel some hostility from him towards me....I guess I deserve it for trying to come between him and Charissa and all that stuff...
Sea, sun and surf await me...but what about my fate? Will true love triumph...I must definately stop sounding so mushy...I don't want to be the next Chong Ming you know... ;)

A terrible conspiracy is upon us...Sweden and Denmark just "happened" to draw 2-2, causing Italy to crash out of the Euro 2004 tournament...My hunch is that they decided to collaborate with each other and knock the arrogant Italians out...
The Italian press is screaming for justice...well..better luck next time..theres still the World Cup 2006 in Germany.....
Yep, the rumours are true... I will be spending the last weekend of the holidays in Malaysia at a island resort...so there won't be any updates for a few days... I still can't belive that my parents picked such a late time to go for a holiday...oh well...I'll be back on Sunday so no worries...
Played soccer today at the usual place...quite fun actually..managed to get my first goal in about 5 matches...haha...and I even managed to save quite a number of shots...it seems that whatever team Wei Hao joins will win the match....is it just luck or could it be something more sinister...
Heading for badminton tomorrow...hope I don't tire myself out again...(Just remembered that I had sworn to never ever play badminton again...
Still awaiting for my inspiration to return...

The final week of the June Holidays is now upon us.....I urge everyone to finish all their homework and do whatever they want to do before school reopens....because once we begin term 3, its gonna be a pressure cooker...not to mention with the prelims looming ahead...
Sigh..the invasion of blogs has begun...we must all take arms to defend the integrity and content of our blog...prepare your defences....the tides of war are approaching..
Still waiting for Charissa to return from New Zealand...its terrible not having someone to talk with for 2 weeks...

Well, I had been thinking of changing my blog layout for a long time and today I decided to embark on my new blog template.....and this is what I have decided on...
So how is it? Personally, I kinda like it....very sentimental and it has a touch of love...exactly what I need...but I am worried about the colour of the letters....in my opinion...they are a wee bit too light...but I will see how it goes first...
I attended a father's day party at my flat's RC last night....it was great fun...chatted with all the kids there....some of them were saints...tried to drink some wine placed on a table but was caught....I was asked to show my Identity Card to prove my age...haha...in the end..I still managed to get a few drops....
While the adults were busy screaming their lungs out(Karaoke)...me and the saint from the primary school started burning things that could be found on the ground...we used the BBQ pit provided and caused a lot of mayhem...huge plumes of smoke were created...and here is a interesting note...tissue paper is extremely flammable...it bursts into flames at the mere touch of a flame....
It was rather funny to see how the adults behaved when they were drunk...some of them couldn't even walk straight...most of them were blabbering and lots of wierd things were said...the party ended at about 3.30 am...just in time for me to catch the soccer game between Holland and the Czech Republic...
I still miss my love terribly...but as the saying goes...time heals all wounds...

As the days go by, I find myself having little motivation to constantly update my blog as my source of inspiration has left Singapore and is now in New Zealand..well you guys will probably know what I am talking about...
Lots of people have offered me support and advice....and I offer a word of thanks...you guys have really provided me enlightenment...hopefully, I can heed your advice before its too late..
My love and passion never wavers...and I will wait patiently for my one true love....
even till the day when I die...
I played badminton today despite my fatigue....as a result, I lost my temper at Wei Hao and Chong Ming...I seem to be getting more and more frustrated...I also lose my temper more easily these days... I don't know why...maybe cos there is not outlet for my frustration...
Some soothing consolation would be appreciated...

I do not understand what has happened over these past few days but a certain liking for Charissa had developed in me..I am not sure what caused it but one thing I know for certain is my days have become more cheerful because of her...
It could be due to her personality which has increased my adoration for her...unfortunately, a relationship with her could become very complicated...
First of all, Chong Ming is supposedly infatuated with her...and if I try anything, it could ruin our friendship...however, friendship and love have equal priority in my life and I am not prepared to give up one for the other... this is indeed a dilemma...not to mention the barrage of insults like "wolf" and such which will certainly be directed at me the moment I mention my liking for Charissa...
The second thing which has caused me a lot of grief is that Charissa is Ker Han's cousin...as a result, Ker Han would not be pleased if he found out his cousin was having a lot of contact between two of his friends...the worst part is that it was Ker Han himself who introduced Charissa to us....
In fact, a rather interesting love triangle has emerged...Chong Ming is infatuated with Charissa and I like Charissa.....the only part which is missing is whether Charissa likes me or Chong Ming...frankly, I don't really stand much of a chance as Chong Ming was the first to meet her and he is the co-writer of their book "Forbidden Love"...but I will not give up...I do not think I am a toad lusting after a swan....
Perhaps Charissa can clear up any misunderstandings in my relationship with her...I still believe that a platonic relationship can be achieved but I must admit that it is proving rather difficult at the moment...
I am now counting down the days till we can meet each other again...awkward it may be...but it is the day I live for....

Yesterday night was the start of the Euro 2004 championsips...and to celebrate such a "special occasion", I managed to convince my parents to allow me to drink some beer...Carlsberg was the choice and funnily enough, Carlsberg is the official beer for Euro 2004...
Well the match between Portugal and Greece was nothing special...in fact it was kinda boring...but to liven up our spirits, the beer was brought out and I helped myself to a glass....
Unfortunately, Carlsberg had an alcohol content of 5%...very scary...and because of the one single glass, my face turned very red...in fact my face felt hot...its a good thing I did not have a second glass otherwise I would have certainly become drunk and start blabbering my innermost secrets.....I will stick to soft drinks from now on...perhaps Coke because it is the official soft drink sponsor for Euro 2004...this is how advertisements influence me..:D
Thankfully, I did not have a hangover, otherwise I would not be creating this post...but I will take a nap soon...I still feel kinda drowsy....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Well it seems that the arrival of my new blog was eagerly anticipated by numerous members of the 4SA community...or maybe I am just kidding myself..oh well..
I need to start linking more people...currently, 6 links are definately not enough...I shall aspire to add more by the end of today...if anyone wants me to link to his blog, drop by my blog and leave the URL of your blog at my chatterbox...I will be delighted to link you because the more the merrier...
Currently, I am thinking of adding a video to my blog...unfortunately, I do not possess such profound HTML skills to do so...so any help will be appreciated..(*cough* Ker Han *cough*)
I shall end today's post with a quote: " A friend will try to console you when you are depressed but a GOOD friend will cry with you when you are depressed." Sounds good huh? I actually picked it up from a email...hahah..god bless everyone!

Well what a change it has been over these few days...I have decided to abandon my old blogging site at livejournal and upgrade to blogspot, so its goodbye and syonara to livejournal and hello blogspot!!
I went to Ker Han's house the previous day...Chong Ming's diary was being edited by Ker Han on his computer and I was not allowed to see any recent posts on his diary...well I guess there must have been a good reason for that...someone I suspect its something more scandalous..I shall investigate this matter some other time......

An uneasy truce has been declared between me and Chong Ming...although I do not appreciate him laughing at my post made yesterday, I will accept his offer of peace for I do not want to continue this cold war.
Nothing much really happened today...other than the fiasco at my A maths tution centre, I would say that today went quite smoothly.I shall update my journal again tomorrow....till then...god bless!

After reading Chong Ming's comments about my posts on his blog, I can only comment that he is madly jealous about my friendship about Charissa. I am sorry to say this about Chong Ming but you have reached the state where your behaviour has become intoleratable to our peers! I do not appreciate the fact that you called me a wolf when it was you who first started this whole business about Charissa! In fact, it was you who was dying to meet Ker Han's cousin just to read her diary and begin infatuating about her. Not to mention, in the subsequent days after your meeting with Charissa, you began to compose love poems for her, and this was like only after meeting her for a day or two....
As for the content being unsuitable for you and Charissa, I would believe that what you post on your blog to be even more unsuitable. However,I will not argue over this. As a result, the removal of certain content in my blog will be at my own discretion.
What on earth do you think you are doing by assuming I have a relationship with Charissa? I have only met her once and that was during the band concert! If you consider one meeting to be a start of a relationship, then I am afraid you are very much wrong! I am not the sort to question a person's intelligence but what you have posted on your blog can only confirm my worst fears, that you only write on impulse and do not give much thought about the reprecussions of what you write. At the time of writing, I was still extremely perturbed by your comments.
As for the bit about the chaperon, I was her chaperon on the concert night but I am no longer her chaperon on subsequent events. I would not mind being her chaperon on any other events but what you must understand is that the role of a protector is not permanent by nature.
Age, I am afraid, is not an important factor in a friendship. Even if it was, it is only a difference of 2 years. Does the age gap of 2 years mean so much to you? I cannot understand why you place so much importance on the age of a person! You should consider the person's character or morals and not the age. In fact, age should be the lowest priority when considering the friendship between 2 people. If you place such a high priority of age on a friendship, I am afraid that you have become very shallow. My heart fills with sadness when I consider this as you are by nature a nice person. I cannot understand why you have become the person you are now....
May I remind you that you are still the wolf and will forever remain the wolf. Unlike you, I do not have 13 infatuations to brag about. In my opinion, you are extremely flirtatious and you do not have the right to call anyone a wolf. The first person you should call a wolf is probably yourself. I am afraid your actions of warning Ker Han about me as a wolf has proven me right. You are so overfilled with jealousy that complaining to Ker Han has become a daily routine.
Are you so afraid that I might "steal" Charissa from you? I cannot believe that you can say that! You were the one who said "I believe in fair competition..". Well, this is fair competition so stop whining to Ker Han. You are a man...so take the challenge...
In fact the truth has indeed set us free...now the entire world knows what a whining prat you are.. I am sorry that I have reached the point where the use of insults is unavoidable...My advice for you, which you probably won't listen to,is to carefully think about what you have written. Do you think that every part of it is correct?
Ker Han has indeed fed the lamb to the wolf. I feel sorry for him. His cousin has now become the talking point of many people. In case you forgot, it was you who dragged Charissa into this whole thing. If you had not started this grand ambition of revealing your sordid love affairs to the world, Charissa would still be unaware of the great evils that lurk in your body. I can only hope that Ker Han has more foresight in the future. It is tragic that in the act of trying to fulfill your ambition, Ker Han has sacrificed the innocence of a 13 year old girl, which sadly is his own cousin. Are you still not convinced that you are a wolf? Just think about Janet and Amanda...what were you trying to achieve by having an infatuation with them?
The wolf, I am afraid is non other than our beloved NPCC head, Low Chong Ming.....

The SAS band concert I attended yesterday was littered with events that i can remember in excruciating details..so without further ado, i shall begin narrating last night's events....
At about 5pm, I woke up and got ready to meet up with Ker Han, his cousin Charissa and Kevin at the Potong Pasir MRT station. Well i met up with Kevin while waiting at the MRT station. We had planned to meet up at 6 but KH and CC only came at 6.06pm. To our horror, KH had forgotten to bring along his ticket so he had to backtrack all the way to his house to retrieve the ticket. Unfortunately, that involved some running and by the time he got back to the MRT station, he was sweating profusely. However, the exercise must have been good for him.. :D
Well the trip to the City Hall Mrt Station was quite uneventful. Well, we called Chong Ming at 6.24pm and we found out that he had not even left his house yet....He assured us that he would be at the Boon Keng station in 5 mins time...
Instinctively, I kept glancing at Charissa to see her facial expressions....well..more about that some other time i suppose..so the entire gang of 4 arrived at the City Hall station where we met Shawn who was supposed to meet up with Wei Jian and Kenneth Koh....we also saw Daniel Chia, Wei Hao, Jun Hong, and Benjamin Er....wow it seemed that everyone would be meeting up at City Hall...
Well, we then agreed to wait for Chong Ming while the rest proceeded towards the Esplanade....when we first saw him...hehe...what can i say? Real snazzy outfit....not to mention the tight jeans...i wonder what he was thinking of, trying to wear such tight clothing....
When we reached the Esplanade....we saw a few familiar faces, namely Joel, Daniel Sim, (eeek!!) Poh Chong and the works... lots of girls there too...everyone must have asked their girlfriends to watch the concert with them...ahhhh.. the advantages of a school with a gold class band...
Unfortunately, we predicted that Charissa would get a lot of " media exposure" and we were right....it seemed that everyone wanted to know the identity of the girl with the pinkish-red top with jeans and how was she related to us...well..Ker Han got rather agitated and he went around telling anyone who gave him a wierd look , I quote " She is just my cousin, so do not get any wierd ideas"...well that certainly dispelled any rumours that Ker Han had come to the concert with his girlfriend...haha..i can still remember the amused look on his face...
On entering the conert hall, we saw Benjamin with a girl, supposedly his friend. Well, i won't comment on this any further. We then saw Miss Tan, the Jason gang..(Jason, Ian, Caleb...) and some other people, can't really remember now...when we got seated... Chong Ming accidentally reminded me that i was supposed to inflict some pain on him to prevent him from getting "too close" to Charissa...down went the hand and the familiar sound of a slap reveberated throughout the hall...more sounds followed and then some groaning..... ;D ( Don't get any funny ideas, we were just slapping each other's thighs... although that sounds very gay..)
Well the performance was good i guess, but to my shock, I had forgotten the role i was supposed to play...my mistake i guess..too engrossed in the music is the only excuse i can give...sorry LCM...
Some assorted stuff during the interval, Jason and his gang hitting on the female teachers...nothing new...it was at this moment that Ker Han commented how lonely Charissa looked...i nudged Chong Ming but he just walked away..was he avoiding her on purpose?
The second half was ok...and i was quite impressed by Nicholas Tan leading his Clarinet team in a classical piece composed by Mozart.....although there were some glaring mistakes, i still commend them on their effort and determination...it takes a lot of patience and courage to learn a musical instrument and then perform in front of an audience.....
After the concert ended, Ker Han suggested going for a coffee...i agreed and we all proceeded to the Esplanade mall to scout for a decent looking coffee bar...but at 10.50pm in the evening, most of the shops had closed so we did not get our coffee...but then someone had a brilliant idea..why not head down to Ker Han's house of a cuppa? Enthusiastic response guided the team back to the Dhoby Gaut(?)MRT station.
Sadly, Charissa had to break away from the group as her mother had promised to pick her up from the Harbourfront...it was rather sad to see her go as I had enjoyed her company... fun loving, sociable and very outgoing...now i know why LCM is infatuated with her..who wouldn't?
Another person broke away from the group when we arrived at the Potong Pasir MRT station. It was Wei Hao as he needed to get home before the public transport of Singapore called it a day...well the only people left in the group were me, LCM and Ker Han....
At his house, his mother graciously offered us some supper...ham sandwhiches and a cup of milo each...that was very thoughtful and i enjoyed the sandwhich very much...(missed my dinner because of the concert) with the exception of the nuts in the bread...i dunno whether its just me but i seem to have a dislike for Hiestand bread...
Well...i talked with Ker Han and Chong Ming for a while before my mother called and blasted me on the phone for not coming home...well i guess she had a right to do so..it was already 12.40 am...way past my normal bedtime...as a result..the group parted ways and i headed for my home across the road while LCM took a taxi back to Boon Keng...
Ahhhh...what a night...it was definately a refreshing experience...as always..i have to end my journal post and i will give my usual ending...god bless everyone and remember to live life to its fullest!
