haven't had the time nor the mood to blog...
but now i'm in the library waiting to do something. probably go home and study or what.
teebee was sitting beside me sally... he was playing computer games. unfortunately, i couldn't get a picture of him for you. i tried to... but scared he catch me. so in the end, i didn't. awwwwww... so sad. never mind lah, u will get to see him ard in sch anyway.
sigh, there's chem test on wednesday and i'm still clueless about chem bonding. haha... blur here and there. if there wasn' t a test to study for, i'll be rather carefree. haha.. would probably go home and watch a bit of tv. oops... sorry mr lau. lol! k lah, better go home and study. there's a pasar malam at the bedok central... wanna get lots of stuff from there. clarinet badges and lots of t-shirts. and there's RAMLI BURGER!!! yup yup... i want to eat lots of ramli burger. haha... *yum yum*. just now during chinese, a few of us were eating ramli burger cos of the food fest.
there's ramli burger in meridian junior college canteen... :)
anyway, i'm just stoning in sch nowadays. and that crazy kor went to malaysia, never tell me he going for holiday. then the past few days msg him until like crazy asking for help, and i thought he disappeared. haha... funny lah he.
sigh... promos coming up already... feeling all the heat. study study study... must get promoted and go to japan! :)
i finally passed my tests... got 17/30 for physics, 12/15 for econs test on public cost etc... the rest of the econs test either got a fail or a borderline pass. now to pass chemistry and maths, and to do a lot of TYS.
time to study...
show me the meaning of being lonely... sigh.

i've been asking myself questions after questions since i came home... am i the cause of all this turmoil? what will become of us? are we doomed to bring the band's repuation down? the state of the band is just going from bad to worse? arrrgggg. my conscience will prick me for the rest of the year, unless the standard comes back up! seriously, i don't want miss sia to be angry with us. she puts in so much effort, yet what she receives is just a whole lot of shit! the band isn't putting in effort and a few people's attitude sucks!
this percussion guy (your name isn't worth being mentioned! my blog will look horrendous!)... throughout band, he acts as though he is in primary school! pls lah, WAKE UP FOR GOODNESS SAKE! hasn't he noticed that the percussion section has always been picked on because of him. simple things like taking the initiative to play a part. he stands there like some robot... can't even play the maracas properly! call yourself a percussionist when you can't even handle simple parts... do you have to rely on ur seniors to help u and guide u through? u can't lah... they won't always be around to guide you through. to think you even tried to run for council??? can you even manage? councillors are supposed to be quick-witted and be able to think on their feet. you'll probably screw up the whole council! the way you do things... miss sia will obviously be angry! WAKE UP PLEASE! and like what mr wong said... don't wait around for things to happen cos they won't! if you continue to act blur, no one will be able to help you! if miss sia has to send you out of the band room, it means there is seriously something wrong with you!!! if you are still in your dilemma, knocking your head against the wall might do you some good!
and the people who have not been coming for band, i don't know what to say? you want to skip band, by all means, go ahead. it will only jeopardise your band career. and don't try to act as if you're the king or queen please? it irks me to think that just because of your irresponsible behaviour, the president has to be scolded for ur absence. and what, only pop out for band when you feel like it... check your attitude pls! and what... just because you want to stay in a hotel during the japan trip, all of us have to accomodate you! you don't want then don't go japan! ur trombone section guys will not have much problem with or without ur absence! no one is forcing you! most of the people, including the alumni, are looking forward to the homestay. if you want to stay in a hotel, just go to any of the singapore hotels, i'm sure they will be glad to let you stay!
i'm so embarrassed the seniors had to even catch us like this. huikoon, zhengyi, paulina, xuanwei, fabian... they must have thought our batch sucks! i can't even imagine what would happen during next year's syf? and thanks to us, the reputation will probably be lost. from a gold band... to what? i don't even dare imagine!
hopefully, the change from second clarinet to third will help that part. the section is seriously underperfoming! vincent would even shout at us had he been at our sectionals or band practices. arrrggg, i don't want to let the seniors see our pathetic state! they don't deserve to see the band standard drop after all their hard work! i don't even have the courage to face them already... and i'm really sorry that zhengyi, paulina and fabian had to catch me in my worst of moods!


some pics for you.
i'm done complaining for tonight. hopefully tmr will be better! and i've gotten EE- for my EOM! thank God! just a bit more fine-tuning and on to I&R and written report. then after the oral presentation... i can have a good rest. study study study!
Happy Birthday Sarah!
thanks kor...

i'm in a rather snappish mood today.
first things first. we aren't allowed to bring food out of the canteen anymore. what the heck lah! what's her problem? ban everything... no food in classrooms, no long hair... what more does she want? she thinks she is still the principal of tanjong katong secondary school ah? pls lah... it's JC. you can't ban everything just because some people dirty the classrooms? ridiculous! arrrggg... pissed with her lah! sometimes i think she's taking too many things into her control... we're JC students for goodness sake, give us the space we need.
there's so much work to be done. and the promos are coming real soon... 44 more days. sigh... started revision already??? sigh.
shall not talk abt the horrible day... cos i'm dragging my feet to school every single morning. it's the little things like band that actually perk me up. or events like the inter-house games where i get to support my friends. yup... the netball match between callisto and triton was rather electrifying. triton had wysen plus two other tall girls, as compared to callisto with average height players. it was surprising that triton lost to callisto. yup... so proud of all of them. muhaimin, khadijah, karr (is that how you spell his name?), sebastian etc. you should have been there. it was really hard for all of them... but they managed to pull through with their swiftness. small but fast. and sebastian had the look of concentration thru out the match, never see before. haha... glad callisto won!
then stayed back with sally, hannah & ken to watch the other match between triton and miranda. as usual, triton had all the tall players once again... mereith, jiamin, donghao. mereith somehow makes netball seem easy. maybe cos he's a basketball player after all. and donghao's head was like just under the net. jeremy, jacob & zhangquan really ran and jumped a lot. well done miranda!
on the way back, this boy... probably around the age of 13 or 14 pissed me off. cos he bought a cup of bubble tea or something. and as i was walking to the pasir ris bus terminal, he walked to the curb and spit something onto the ground... and he acted like he was innocent. i think these people should be hanged or something... so bloody unhygenic. and they shouldn't only be hanged... their bodies should be cut up and fed to pigs. arrrggg... these singaporeans have no sense of hygiene at all. i think my dad gets reprimanded by me all the time for his bad habit of his. can't they spit into a tissue or something? nvm...
i think i'm done for tonight. i still have maths tutorial to do plus physics tests to revise for. and my eyes are on the brink of closure! i guess i shall log off and go sleep. mugging like these will only make me more agitated and irritable.
thanks gelina for the chocolates from cambridge. quite nice! thanks!
nite.

haven't really been on the best on moods due to the impending examinations. i'm dreading the promos, especially since i'm still in a maze of my own. i can't seem to understand the stuff that i'm studying. it simply goes in through my eyes and then out as i breathe. nth is retained... arrrggg! hate it when this happens. oh well, i will get promoted through hard work and sheer perseverance.
my eom has not met my ultimate expectation. i'm still at 'meeting expectations'.... and no, i don't want this kind of grade. i want an 'exceeding expectations'! but i can't seem to evaluate the material. dunno how to! sigh...
on the brighter side of things, at least i managed to get out of the house for some time. went back to tk and i saw this...

we're the pride and joy of the school... and it refers to my batch of sec 4s. cool huh! met some of my juniors. changling, shuyi, miaoying, siti... miss the clarinetists in tk band. i'm happy to say that... MJCSB is going to japan this december! it's been approved and i'm sure everyone is anticipating the arrival of 8th dec. excitement is brimming up within me. but shall have to do well in the promos first. what am i even doing now? shld be studying... kk, better go! nagoya, japan... here i come!

my mother is being a complete irritant now. sometimes i wish she went for a LONG LONG HOLIDAY! get away from me pls. i cannot stand your nonsense! just because i cannot find something, you show ur temper and scream your head off. that seriously isn't what a christian should not be like. to think you keep on saying you want to be a devoted christian, who reads the bible at all times? your attitude towards all of us contradicts that. you do not have the fruits of the spirit AT ALL! so dun try to act like you are so holy! talk about patience!!! that will be the last thing you have on earth! i shall not even bother talking to you for the next few days. don't think i cannot hear you. the minute you step into ur room, u bitch about me to dad. i'm not deaf lah! and u go to the toilet and vent your anger by hitting the shower hose so hard!!! and don't slam the door! doesn't work on me!!! to think you can actually act in front of all our church friends, making urself seem like an angel! so not!
today was a very boring day...
the class got scolded by mr david kwek again. this is the second time i've seen him outburst. and the first time for mr lau. i don't enjoy it a single bit lah! oh well... my grp quite slow in PW. i think i shall go do it first. cannot rely on anyone. best to do it urself esp when you have a person who is autistic, and does not contribute much. i dun want to mention who lah... i just wished he would do his part and not just leave everything to us. sigh... at least i still have seri, siti & heru.
i think i've vented all my frustrations out at the moment. too tired to go do any work now. shall go revise chem prac and maths tmr. for now, it's time to hit the bed!
Happy Birthday Byron Tee!
melz: whatever lah woman! fuquan is my senior, it's alright if i want to see him badly. and ya ya, you're my bitching partner. tmr will be the 2nd half. you also having durians right? aiyo... someone so sad! she does not have any durians to eat. so full now. i think i ate more than 8 seeds already... D24! haha... next time then go out eat durians with you people. must go geylang there to drink the beancurd... *yum yum*
i found out that zhengyi & paulina make good bitching partners too! haha.
nite people.

i initially wanted to complain about the heavy workload, but since i'm feeling better... i shall just comment.
came back from church just now and did more revision on chemistry (mr lau... rare huh?). somehow, i suddenly digged out a whole file of assignments. the worst thing was that many were due tomorrow like physics, maths, GP essay, econs tutorial etc etc. yet, many had not been completed. in a state of panic, i started doing them especially the GP essay on mass media. cos i know mr kwek will probably scream his head off tmr if i don't hand it in... sigh. such is life of a JC student. sad huh?
so i just spent like three over hours since 8 plus doing the essay... of which i'm proud to say... IS FINALLY COMPLETED! goodness, and it's 12.15am now. goodness, i better go sleep... really tired. and i've been complaining to jianxin and heru of the terrible migrane that i'm having. it's this terrible feeling of a nerve pulling at the back of your head and no matter how much you massage the nerve, it doesn't seem to get better. so yes, i've been feeling very giddy. dunno what is wrong with me nowadays... probably due to the high stress level.
the only guilty thing i did today was...
watching X-men3 from 6pm to 8pm to relieve the stress, which should not happen. i should be spending my entire time studying, not watching a movie!
GO STUDY JAMES TAN! YOU CAN WATCH X-MEN3 AFTER YOUR PROMOS!
and so, i've completed the GP essay on mass media all by myself. sometimes, getting good grades in GP does not help cos mr kwek pushes all the group work onto you.
and i didn't have the time to spend with my dear elder sister. sorry dear... next time then spend more time with you. and i'm having mixed feelings about keziah's delivery. for everyone's info, keziah is my niece who is due in september. i want to spend time with her at the hospital, but i'll be busy preparing for the stupid promos. what the heck lah!!! if i have to choose between my niece and my promos, i would choose my niece!!! but ya... i guess promos have to come first. idiot jc. i will go babysit my niece in nov then. college activities better not come looking for me, if not i will start losing my freaking temper.
don't worry mr lau...chem will be my most impt subject!
before i knock off and go to bed...
Happy Birthday Sally Kwong Cho Ki!

sigh... so sad lah. i couldn't go watch the fireworks.

sigh... sian man!

the fireworks were supposed to be memorable cos the six of us had made plans to go out together... but anisa couldn't make it in the end, and somehow shuuji wasn't in the best of moods. at least i enjoyed myself together. thanks people... you made the day truly special.
besides scaring jensen, playing pool with ben quek & going out with my closest friends... everything else sucked!
national day performance. it was what i expected... some hiccups. shall not elaborate cos it's not worth mentioning!
national day commemoration celebration... besides the performance put up by the teachers (e.g. mr lau), dance society and the choir, i wasn't really paying attention. simply sat with sally & hannah and stoned. well, i was reading 8 days and looking through sally's hp. all the pictures taken simply brought back memories.
after we were released from school, i had wanted to go back to tk. but i received news that the bazaar was over. then i was in a dilemma whether to go with my class for an outing, with the band people to someone's house or hang out with my close friends. in the end, i just chose to hang out with sally, benquek & stanley. waited for the H2 econs people to finish their test, while having consultation with mr lau. then went down to TM where we ate at pastamania and then played pool.
met shuuji, sally, christine & zukai at bugis ard 4. hung around, bitched & reminisced. had dinner at sakae sushi with sally's mum. i think i ate a lot... still rather full now.
then went to city hall where there were a lot of people rushing down to the esplanade for the fireworks. in the end, we went to the bridge near fullerton hotel where we waited for the fireworks to start...



mr lau was there... i think. saw his blog. but yup, didn't get to see him cos of the crowd. maybe he took a better picture where he was standing. the pictures were quite blur cos the people ard me kept jostling to see the fireworks. inconsiderate singaporeans! i hate fighting with the crowd, but i do it for my close friends... or else i'll be at home instead. :)
anyway... i'm so glad i'm not at the stadium. u have to fight with the crowd to get good spots, and once everything is over, you have to try to get out too! the best is to stay at home.
i'm feeling quite pissed off now cos i can't receive any messages, and send out any. i keep getting "sending failed". must be M1's problem. stupid operator! freaking lousy service! and i think my ex-maid stole my spare wallet & nokia hp when she was sacked cos i simply can't find it in my drawers. maids nowadays cannot be trusted!!!
what the heck... i think i shall just go study.

these people just light up my life!!!

arrrgggg...
chem and econs test sucked... somehow couldn't remember some things. like how to deduce order of reaction by looking at graphs. sigh... studying just made me more blur. haha. and i have GP test after this... just so busy!!!
what's with mjc??? u have three tests in a day... so taxing can!!! i'm so not going to complain already... cos no use! must as well just study and get over with it.
mr lau... consultations!!! fast!!!
i'm stoning in the school library... going to start doing some work soon.
very hungry lah... but don't want to eat now. i'm just waiting for today to end!!! then i can go home and sleep.
and i have a feeling that tmr will suck!
yesterday was so fun. daryl got his driving licence already and he just drove me around in his vintage car. haha... attracted to much attention from the beachers! and i still feel the vintage car is too cute for daryl. he should be driving his sports car!!! i will sit in it one day... hopefully!
as for now... i guess i'll go think of the aichi meiden high school peeps... congrats on being top in nagoya!!! you sure live up to your name as top band. next up... top band in whole of japan!!! take care.
ciao.

school was boring!!!
and i hate this guy lah. he's freaking irritating and is getting on my nerves. the mere sight of his pisses me off so bad that i can't even stand looking at his horrible face. his face is extremely revolting with all his pockmarks. arrrggg... hideous! if he thinks he is so great, then be it. why come irritate me? nothing better to do issit? volunteer me to answer questions for what??? i know you think you very smart lah... finishing up all your tutorials before class. it must be a facade! whatever it is, keep your freaking distance away from me. i don't want to hear anything from you for the next few months... thank you! all your stupid card tricks and lame jokes are so childish and absolutely not amusing... SO NOT FUNNY AT ALL! so just don't come near me... you abhorrent crap!
and i have to waste my 200th post on commenting about that ugly guy. so wasteful!
other than looking forward to this sunday, where i will see the pig at the boat... i have nothing much already. monday will be a killer with three or four tests. i am not even looking forward to national day... sucks lah!
and my mother just freaking pissed me off again... nagging about me not keeping my table clean. pls lah, i just finish tuition can? u don't go into my room, won't have to see my mess right! since u like a clean room, go to ur own room lah! pissed. and she enjoys calling my name... "james, james, james, james, james!" irritating lah!!! the worst thing is that my mother freaking merepek lah!!! always mix me up with my elder brother and elder sister. "darren, jasmine, james!" so easy... grrrr.
MY MOTHER IS A MEREPEK QUEEN!
the only plus point to my day... was hanging out with sally & zukai. everytime i'm with them, i feel so at ease. haha... you peeps rock man! we'll hang out more often... and cam whore at the same time. yup... love u!
i wanted to blog so much about band, but i shall just keep it to myself. typing it here would be digging my grave. oh well, i miss the seniors so so so so so much! arrrgg... life is so mundane without them. surprisely, i'm afraid of vincent, but i'm hoping he comes for band. and i miss lisa & felicia a lot too! yes... huikoon and every single one of them!!!
I MISS THE J2s.
i'm supposed to be studying my chem prac notes. sigh... yes mr lau, i go study now!
