homecoming carnival 2004

hC had her homecoming carnival todae, a congregation of old and young from the past and present in the school to celebrate her 30th birthdae..

was quie fun and i thought it was held very much sucessfully, except for the rain which was a real letdown... weiming was tellin me how someone was sayin the rain was a punishment for changin the sch name... 'niway it drizzled for nearly four hours... in the end some stalls had a really small turnover..

started the day with an openin' ceremony and a concert that was quite impressive... especially with the dances and wushu... then went for the carnival. the stalls one the whole was quite impressive, considering that the games stall had a relatively exciting concepts. went around the place with aK and gang... hahaz the food was good too, especially brownies from the canoeing stall.. hahaa kinda got conned by still... the tasted great~ the dunking station was another crowd puller... hahaz kinda saw many people gettin' dunked... mr pang, mrs chin down to a whole slew of my friends... was laughin away at the many comic moments... you really have to see to believe~

oh ya. then i bought a nice blue metallic water bottle... comes with a real nice pouch too =p

the school cancelled our volleyball friendly todae... coz they had a match on friday... haiz... was quite disappointed cos was quite geared up for the game... too bad it was rainin' too.. floor was wet den still haf to mop the water... hahahaz ended up playin ball with the j1s, some j2s and melissa and gang who were nice enough to take time to come play vball with us... played for a while, with the girls giggling like crazy whenever we/they hit/miss a ball... hahaz was quite a riot... hahaz it sure brought back good memories... then eL and wee ming decided that was quite enough and left... stayed around, talk to some of the seniors and watch the girls play vball... haha... so much for a friendly match =)

stayed till around 4 plus.

went to toa payoh with aK for a while coz he wanted to bank in money.. walked around the place for a while then bought a book... "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" hahaz think i'm gettin addicted to books like in primary sch... went to cd rama. had half a mind to grab and leave the place with the new jay chou promotional poster... 3rd august.... its long wait...

went home after that.

did somethin that i tot was quite embarassin'... haha.. haha... haha... ^_^

haircut
 
got that much wanted haircut today.. mr barber was apparently quite shocked when i told him i wanted a 2mm hairdo.. kinda pained me to see all of my crops fallin before my eyes... heart was cringin too.. ha.. but then its somethin that i've been really thinkin of doin for such a long time.. haha..

so passed the old shell and here comes the new.. this thought was ringin in my mind.. and thus a new change for me. a welcome one.. this hairdo shall be a reminder for me to follow my principles and dreams.. ahaha.. sounds a little crappy... but its as good as it gets =)

heard qi li xiang again.. man can't wait for the 3rd of august..

walks..
 
kinda surprised by what you can get when you go for a simple walk down the neighbourhood.. hmm.. went to collect my now repaired handphone from the service centre... juz a simple walk i thought.. haha who knew there's so much activity buzzing around that area?

there was a line dance session for supposedly the elderly... many of whom actually looked very young for once.. alas... it had to be interrupted by the rain.. not that it affected another group of old men playin checkers at the void deck of some flats.. ha they used to play chinese chess.. but now change to checkers.. dunnoe why.. den i remembered how i used to stand and watch them play chess durin primary sch... kinda bring back all the good old memories..

the rain wasn't realli big.. more of a drizzle... the soft droplets were kinda like playful touches on my skin... was feelin in the mood so i took a slow walk in the rain.. call me dumb... but it was realli fun..

wanted to eat out cos mum was at batam for a short holiday but decided against it.. but some ngor hiongs as a side dish at shop n save den went home.. (in the rain no less)

dinner was homemade pasta with campbell's soup served as a sauce with the fried ngorr hiongs... sometimes i wonder if i add cheese to the sauce would it taste nicer? maybe a pinch of herbs and all.. wadever.. shall experiment tml.

feels dead borin now... practising the guitar till my hands hurt.. oh yeah.. i can play stand by me.. finally =)

so say i'm gonna take a gun and start a war
 
finally got back all my papers.. bleah.. did really horribly... especially in bio and econs... didn't really help that i've been failin bio all the while.. then mrs foo got me thinkin when she addressed the problems with our class.. felt abit helpless as cT rep... especially when i was supposed to be leadin em'. kinda missed last year where shawn was the cT rep... he did a brilliant job unlike me now... haha..  budden i guess i ain't that vocal with my thoughts anyway... think maybe the burden is startin' to get on my nerves.. cham...
 
suddenly had this thought of shavin' off my hair.. kinda on impulse.. as always... ya know like its supposed to signify a new beginning or something? i've never been more serious in my life.. there's certain aspects of me that i'm not really happy with myself.. and it ain't solely due to my studies... ... ... guess i need a new direction now at this point ba.. ha..
 
dunnoe why i keep tellin others to relax and dun think too much over things when i'm doin the exact opposite.. argh.. dennis dennis... time to be back the good old dumb you..
 
dumb? i guess i am. and i lurve it =)
 
song of the day
 
dreaming in red - the callin'
 
Once upon a time
Somewhere far away from here
I was drowning in a deep sleep
I got no ground beneath my feet
And there's so many faces
I'm New York and I'm Japan
There's so many things that I want to know
But I'll never understand...
 
[CHORUS]

Now I'm dreaming in red
Just drifting away
I'm dreaming in red
Come and take me away
 
I just got to get it right
Before I make it wrong
Cause I'm breaking out and rising up
While the world is falling down...
 
[CHORUS]
 
I see the sun behind the night, sky
One last moment before I say goodbye...
Once upon a time
Somewhere far away from here...
 
[CHORUS]

crossroads

sometimes you reach a point in your life where you start wonderin' about the infinite paths that are laid out in front of you... the pathway to success, friendship, even love are all there.. if you know which one to tread.

and i think i've reach that certain point.. no point being kiddy and clueless about what the future might hold in store for me.. better if i can juz grasp hold of what i want, now and forever..

but i think i'm afraid.. this sense of trepidation.. and it's makin me afraid to even step out of the darkness.. doesn't really help that i'm doin this alone.. so many choices, so many paths.. to go or not to go? i'm really unsure.. and all this has to be the lowest part of my life..

suddenly i think of all the games i played on my pS.. especially my favourite Final Fantasy series... come to think of it.. all e leads were on a route which they knew not of the endings.. from cloud, squall, zidane to even tidus.. oh well.. at least they had their happy endings.

they say that there's a silver lining behind every dark cloud.. and yet i'm puttin down my all on the same silver lining.. regardless whether it exists or not.. but what i do know.. is that i'll keep hoping and dreamin and believin'.. and one day i'll be able to write a chapter of success in that never ending book of life..

=p

Two beds and a coffee machine
by: savage garden

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor


Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write


Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through


And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing


Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home


Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through


Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of the night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it


Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last

Wonder how I ever made it

bad dae..

had a really screwed up day today.. kinda bad cos i didn't really check the timetable for bio prac.. everyone knew it was at 7.30 but we didn't know where to gather.. ended up everyone went for assembly and got late by over twenty mins.. got blasted by mrs tan and now everyone will have marks deducted... darn.. can't help feelin tt's its all my fault.. went to apologize to everyone but tt didn't take the feelin away.. didn't help when everybody said "its not your fault".. tt made me even worse.. tolong .. realli sorry 3s71..

screwed up the prac cos i forgot the read the questions.. ended up fakin' the results for question one.. hah.. guess it wasn't realli my day then..

den went to send liwei off to germany at night. almost all e guys were dere.. haha.. no tearful goodbyes though.. kelvin and us all went to bK to have a drink.. den at 10 it was time for him to leave.. haha.. dunnoe why people take so long to say goodbye.. cos i used to think that a quick goodbye would be e best.. no draggy emotions and stuff.. but there's probably something in long goodbyes that i never saw in before.. especially with all the waving and huggin.. maybe tt ain't my type.. mmm..

went home alone (hmm..) cos the guys went to sleep over at zZ's house.. ha tot it wouldn't be nice if too many people stay, especially with the mad rush for the loo in the mornin.. ga.. better go to sleep soon~

this post is gonna be a soccer one.. yeah~

can't believe that tonight's gonna be e night thats going to end all the soccer fever that's been sweeping over e world.. ha.. the finals man.. who woulda haf guessed that e 1st game of e tournament would be e last? ha..

kudos for e greeks for coming this far.. contary to what my friends and what i initially felt, they really deserved to come this far.. portugal's been another dark horse of this tournment... bettin' wise they brought back 'orrible memories... nightmares realli.. cos i remember e first time i betted with my friend in sec 4.. durin e world cup.. supposed u all can guess la... i kinda got conned to throwing a -2.5 advantage... (for all non punters out there it's means portugal to win my 3 or more goals) ended with pie all over my face and a lighter pocket to date.. -bleah-

kinda gotten sick of punting.. been 'donating' at least $20 to e singapore pools... haha tink i've done enough of 'charity' for e year.. so my take tonight? i'm gonna enjoy e finals with pizza on one hand and erm... barley water on e other... all that in the company of my... erm mother =)

so thats it for tonight... hope to see a free flowing game later... and ya... and happy euro 2004 final! =p
