Sometimes
Sometimes things just get boring after a while, reckon this is just a part of the cycle. Wanted to write quite a bit of stuff just now but I'm really too sleepy, hafta go to bed and recharge for energy for tomorrow's training. Bless all, always.

Mesmerising
Walked alone in the drizzle in Orchard today, searching for my heart. In the end, nothing was found and still I'm left with an empty one. It was enjoyable, actually, to be alone with no one but myself for a while. No noise, no work, no pretence. Cut off from the world. Silence is golden.

Anti
I'm in a mess. Lost in life. Miss some people. Like some people. This is sad. Think I'm just an immature cry-baby. Kick me.
Reckon I should cease the pretence for good. Stop trying to fit in or please anyone. This will have to stop, seriously. By the way, it's hard to like someone really, sometimes.
I hafta be myself someday, but it looks like the verisimilitude of that day is far from vivid.

Off
BCDD, B3.
Depressing results those were, more depressing is that I got the historic low mark for Art Paper 1 and made it to the hall of fame. David Liew's face really make me wanna swear and perhaps call my basketballers to teach him a lesson some time. What I did for 3 whole weeks were mocked at and unevidently accused of being a "skiver" who did his work in 1 day. That was absolutely unacceptable.
Ire. Frustration. I don't know what my parents feel about this but I'm quite sure this degreeless teacher knows less than 1 percent of what they know about art. RJ art programme does deserve to be closed next year.
The dinner and the trip back with Sarah and Zhafri was cool. Talked a lot about our private lives which bonded our friendships more after tonight. Think RJ basketball will be the most bonded CCA soon. This is great.
By the way, I couldn't recognise Gek from the back this morning. She seems to have become slimmer and it took me quite a while to realise it was her after Keat Loon told me. New day new discovery huh. Haha.

To be concluded
Matrix Reloaded was seriously some explosive stuff. But it wasn't as enlightening as the first episode, reckon they've run out of great ideas other than more packs of rubbery action. By the way, thanks Gek for the vcds.
Reckon sometimes we should just let things be, as they will always turn out along with Fate. Forcing is plain ignorance, never a solution, while nature is the best way to let what is suppose to happen happen.

Watcha gonna do when ya can't say no
Had an interesting long talk on the dinner table just now. Family guest today was Su Hao, who talked his heart out and taught me numerous things. His determination in studying and pursuing his dream overseas is not a mere story to hear, but a true inspiration. He's really a grown-up man, not like me, a stupid kid still. Hafta learn a lot from him.
By the way, Kuang Ngee resigned from Raffles Basketball. And almost all my RI juniors are going to VJC. This is getting on my nerves really. Dreams will not be shattered though. I'll make sure they won't.

Ballers
Another basketball day today. Had our first training since promos ended, and realised how amateur my team is still. Hafta train really extra hard, to achieve what we dream every night - to thrash VJC - no matter what. My fitness is seriously bad. Heart ached just after half the canal run. Train, train, train.
Went out again with fellow basketballers. Caught Intolerable Cruelty and felt is was really intolerably cruel to myself to watch this unacceptably monotonous movie. It was supposed to be a romantic comedy, but the jokes were just as bad as Zhaf's. Hahaha. Fell asleep 4 times during the film. It is that pathetic, really.
Wonder what's happening to my life nowadays, going out having fun everyday from dawn to dusk. Not sure if I'm really enjoying myself but reckon i'll just have fun when I still have the time to now. Yepee.

Joy
Not feeling down anymore. Thanks to all my friends and fellow basketballers who cheered me up by one way or another. The gathering at Evita's was pretty cool. Other than watching the girls swim we also had fun playing basketball and mahjong, and I had my first taste of Vodka. Haha. Reckon I didn't get drunk though I was starting to feel a little hot towards the end.
Like Zhafri said, we've suddenly become close to the girl basketballers. This is great, think they are nice people to be with all day long. Reckon we hafta treasure the time we stone together, chat together and play together, because we won't have this much much time to chill next year.
Yay. Tomorrow's our first basketball trainning after the break from promo exams. It finally time to get on to the route to victory.

What's wrong with the world today
Really wasn't myself last night. Reckon it was just a prolonged headache. Hope it was. Hafta thank Sarah for comforting me, at least it helped to alleviate the pain a little. Sigh.
Read Zhi Kai's blog. He's experiencing the same strange feelings nowadays. Didn't know we're so brotherly that even depressions come at same times. Haha. Think it's the weather. Blame it all on the dang weather.
Didn't wanna go for the basketballers' party at evita's later at first. Didn't have the mood to. But Zhi Kai told me to just go and relax, and perhaps the pain will go away. Hope so later.
By the way, RJ open house yesterday rocked.

Swearing temptations
Don't know what in the world is happenning to me, but I just felt sick of the world this evening. Sudden spasm of mixed emotions just took over me while I was with the stonning clique at DFS shop in Orchard. Seriously, I had suicidal thoughts in my mind and my whole body was unwell. Wanted to bang my head hard and straight into a wall and bleed to death without any feelings of pain, or any feelings about anyone.
Arghz. Think I've been trying too hard to please people. Why should I? Perhaps this is just what my weak point is - being too soft and accomodating that no one appreciates it. Maybe it's just my neurotic character. Reckon I should convert back to being myself, to being anti-social, curt and nonchalant. I don't wanna give a care anymore, really.
The urge is gone. Just vanished from the surface of my life. Why should I even have tried to get back my enthusiasm? Hate this.

Happy and gay
Scrubbed and scrapped the skin on my hands and arms like crazy for whole 10 minutes just now, trying to get rid of graffiti drawn by 2 girls who went nuts abusing Zhi Kai and I with various methods. Don't get jealous, it's not what one's thinking.
Well, had another day of basketball fun in school after we've completed decorating our open housr boards. Then just like yesterday the stonning clique stonned like rocks went, this time not in school but at GV Bishan. Sitting on the carpet chatting and staring blankly at one another, Sarah and Evita had a sudden impulse of abuse in their minds. Didn't really mind them doing anything on me due to the heck-care attitude and partly because I was overwhelmed by joy after collecting our new Gryphons jerseys, I was actually dumb enough to allow their disturbing behaviours to commence. Haha. Evita drew animal cartoons on my arms, Sarah colored my fingernails pink and Liu Hao wrote crap like "I am gay" on my arms. They were just crazy. But the sight of them laughing and enjoying themselves persuaded me to just not mind about those silly stuff and so willingly got exploited. Oh well. Hehe.
Oh anyways, we've got our 1st out of 5 jerseys for next year finally! The converse shop didn't fail us this time after making us wait for 6 months for the new design. Yay. Ultra happy now. And tomorrow's open house. Can at least show off to the juniors what we've got here is not that lousy afterall, though the fact is that we've paid for them ourselves. Hahaha. Can't wait for tomorrow's exhibition matches. Egoistic Clarence who called me and asked "am I better than the whole team?" needs to be thrashed by my boys seriously. Oh, we'll see.

Basketball Day
Shoulda declared today the Basketball Day. Played lots of basketball just like thh past 4 days and got burnt by the scorching sun again. Think I was too engrossed in basketball stuff and talking to fellow guy and girl basketballers that I were ignoring too many people. Seriously very apologetic about that. But reckon being stuck with nice basketballers like Zhi Kai, Sarah, Zhaf, Minli and Evita is pretty much worth it, because we communicated a lot like we've never done before, especially the 3-hour chat with Zhi Kai, Sarah and Zhaf till 9pm. Enlightening, invigorating, especially during lonely times like now.
Very sorry to Sarah, that I picked on her uncountably many times today for no acceptable reason, inadvertantly hurting her perhaps. I think I was just crazy, or maybe it's just the light mood playing with and chatting with fellow basketballers. We're really sorta a team now, and not two.

Infernal Affairs 2
Watched this movie with Zhi Kai, Kenneth and Joel this evening. The conclusion is that being a gang-leader can be cool, speaking curtly and bursting skulls and chopping limbs nonchalantly. Haha. Of course I won't be one, because I ain't even strong enough to bring a man down yet. Well, the ending was rather lame. Went totally out of point just like one the "model" essays Mona Chew would go through every Economics tutorial, straying lightyears aways from the actual topic.
By the way, after playing basketball for around 5 or 6 hours today, I'm totally red. Reckon I'll turn black soon. Yuck.

Roots
The title does not ring a bell if one's thinking about maths.
Was watching some Channel 8 "Fei Yu Qing" music programme with mom and dad. It was a collection of Chinese oldies. Surprisingly soothing and comfortable to listen to and let thoughts run wild with them. For a while I was in a boundless flowerful field running with butterflies in serenity, and a moment later I was in Shanghai in the 1930s when it was more prosperous than Paris then. Wonderous.
Fairy is lost in the tale. Where am I?

Drama Mama (in Korean)
Caught the final episode of Loving You last night. Didn't know why but tears just streamed down my cheeks every time I watch this Korean drama. Reckon this is the best show ever. Or perhaps it's just the first Korean serial I've watched. Haha.
Sigh. Think I've been influenced by the Koreans, seriously. Had a low quarrel with my dad. And still don't think I'm very much in the wrong. Oh well.
Caution: Korean dramas may lead to family disunity.

Discovery channel
Wanted to go continue my crashing spree and visit VJC today but for some reason didn't felt like it. Just can't force myself do anything I don't like to. That's me.
Met Sister at Marine Parade library in the afternoon. It was totally hilarious. Grabbed some clothes which made me "looked like an uncle" (quote Carol) and rushed to the library to meet her and was 20 minutes early in the end. Got a sms from her, "hey can lend me 5 bucks for cab fare?". Then got another, "wait for me downstairs at the taxi stand okay? around 10 mins. Thx." Just like Theng. Girls love to be late i think. Totally astonished, stupefied, rooted to the ground when I saw some gorgeous girl on the cab. Hahaha. Didn't know there's a hidden beauty in our class till today. Perhaps some people just look much better in CVs, and conversely for others. Oh well. I wanted to bury my head in the ground.. Uncle-like clothes huh. Erpz.
Well then the beauty and the beast went to Parkway. Guess what, saw Carol at MPH. Caught her red-handed - reading Kevin and Hobbes. Hehe. Sister nearly burst into humored tears. Well then we bought Beckham's auto-biography and poster for Pam. Seriously didn't know she's a fan of Beckham. She would have turned crazy if she knew that Mona Chew gave her class Beckham pencil boxes but only chocolates for us from Japan.
Walked around for a blink of the eye in Parkway and bade goodbye to Sister because she had to go celebrate her sister (hahaha)'s birthday with family. Played pool with Carol after that, sorta beat her by 7-2. She's not bad considering that was her 4th time playing.
Basketball with Ray, Qian Li and Enhui at Braddell Heights CC just now. Used half the strength to beat the Serangoon Sec guys. Yeah I'm back. Trainings are gonna resume in a week's time. Can't wait for them. Hehe.

Old days
Went MJC open house today. Met Wenting. She's as cheery as ever. Haha. Always laughing and talking her mind out unhesitatingly, and loudly. =P Unlike almost all the girls I've met nowadays, she's still like how she was when we went seperate ways in Sec 1. Hah.
By the way, MJC's basketball team is an rather ordinary team, just like ours. No Mount Everests nor leopards, everyone's averagely good. I can guarantee that they won't get much further than us next year (that is if we won't be strengthened by my RI juniors). Oh, saw a 195cm-tall Sec 4 guy there. Wanted to persuade him to come, but doubted doing so assuming he's got 20-odd points for prelims or something, not being mean here seriously. Oh well, fate'll lead our way.
Played pool at Mambo again this evening. 'Tis my favourite pool house, but it's tables are getting a little old and rough. Hong Kai complained that we should pick another place providing better table at lower rates the next time. Haha. Perhaps that's just he's attention diversion after losing 4-10 to me. Yeah, finally got back to my form for the first time in 2 months. I'll be back. =)

Not gonna be a himbo
Hafta finish my developmental studies for Art Paper 2 tomorrow.. Gotta show Liew I'm not an blockhead like he thought. But what about maths? It's might be Ho's turn to think I'm a nincompoop. Oh no. Hehe.
On the brighter side, at least they're the last papers this week! Will be enjoying myself playing 3-on-3 basketball with Meridian guys at MJC open house on Friday. Yay.

No good afternoon
Hated afternoon papers, especially today's. Thought I had some stuff in my mind, until I stepped into the exam hall. Still don't know why I just felt my head spinning while I started writing trash on the paper.
Blame it on the weather, perhaps? It was scorching, but it's just like any other day. Blame it on RI, providing a fully air-conditioned school since A.D. 2000? There were fans around, messing up my hair. Blame it on my self, reckon should, for slacking everyday during exam period while seeing every other guy or girl burying their heads in 1000-page textbooks (Do I even have them? Haha)? But didn't I do this last year, and the year before, and the year before before..? Man, I'm just not a mugger.
Was utterly irate at myself for failing to write two acceptably fair essays this evening. It was the econs paper I wanted to rock. It was my favourite subject, love it to the core. Arghz. Anyways, it still is.

Top of the hill
Yay. Took the Physics paper, could pass I reckon. No more retaining woes. =)
Ray didn't come to take the paper today. He's the man. Told him to just drop the subject before exams since he ain't gonna even touch it at all. Sighz. Oh well. That was absolute bravery. Three cheers.
Economics Paper 3 tomorrow afternoon. My favourite subject. Yepee. Gotta enjoy that one. Hafta relax a little with some CM4 now haha. Good luck to all.

Mare
I always remember my dreams when I wake up. Strange though. But it ain't always good to remember them, like last night's. Dreamt of getting grounded by Ms Gong again just like any other day when I ask a "stupid question" authentically. Full of humiliation during Physics classes since I came to S05A. Yuck.
Oh well. It's the Physics paper tomorrow. Purportedly my favourite subject in secondary school (surprisingly I didn't like any of my 3 humanities that much) but it's been the killer subject for me now. But anyway, however hard it is, quote Mr Stephen Lim, "I love Physics". Hahaha.
Wonder why someone just get attracted by HCJC so much. Is it the love for the Chinese culture? Or is it just because of Jack being in RJC.

A day's over
Had the papers today. Rather difficult for all but reckon it was expectedly acceptable. Could see the frown on almost everyone's faces, and people rushing to consult their friends to know if they had got their stuff right. Relax people. It's just an exam. And what's to worry when it's over? The next paper, perhaps.
Played pool with Ray, Josie and Carol at Clementi till 10 plus. Pictures of carol sleeping with her sweater looking like an Eskimo baby are saved in Ray's phone ready to send to anyone who would like to have a peek. Haha. And Carol, don't mess up my hair please. She needs some anger management sometimes. =P
Had quite a talk to Ray on the 105 back. Learnt a lot of things that have never been questioned in my mind. Think I need some thoughts about friends and stuff after the promos. Don't really know how come I've become so ignorant after entering RJ. Perhaps I should change my email to ignorantjacques instead of indifferentjacques. Hah.

Enjoyable
Exams are supposed to be enjoyable, though they might be excruiciatingly hard sometimes. Hafta enjoy all the papers from now on, because I just miss the secondary school exams, and reckon we won't be getting a lot of exams after these two years in RJC. Gonna feel nostalgic again in a blink of the eye.
General Paper and Economics paper 2 tomorrow. Then it'll be another weekend! Yepee! The exam schedule isn't that bad afterall, is it?
Oh by the way, wonder how's the pool game between Ray and Josie just now. Those two were purportedly studying in Parkway. Hahaha.
So, cherish the moment tomorrow. It's the last GP paper for this year!

Farewell, J2s
Farewell Assembly tomorrow for the seniors. Which also means no school for us! Yay. Hopefully it'll be a more productive day than a day spent in front of the computer playing CM4 and getting sacked by West Bromich Albion Football Club's board of directors. Haha.
It was an extreme monotony today. Just locked myself up at home for the whole day hoping that I would study and didn't even step out of my house other than buying some cake for afternoon tea but was to no avail obviously. Arghz. GP papers and Econs Paper 2 on Friday. I wish myself good luck. Hah.
Oh by the way, I have to insist that my senior's art project is a huge bird and not a dinosaur (Mengxin)! Even if it looks like, as I've said, it'll be a pre-historic bird.

Pick myself up (not what you're thinking)
Failed Art paper 1 doesn't mean I'm gonna fail the next paper. Suddenly psyched up about Art paper 2 - Drawing and Painting. Hafta show Liew what I've got, and not just a brainless basketball captain (that sounds familiar, bell-ringing, Jireh? Haha).
Perhaps having artist parents ain't that bad afterall, especially when times like this. Haha. Oh well. But reckon they aren't gonna help me because they only want me to appreciate art, never become an artist.
Let's do it, man!

Took the Quizilla quiz on "Which Sappy Song Are You?". They're good. "Truely, Madly, Deeply" has been my favourite love song for quite a while. Haha. Yeah, quite a while.
To take the quiz, please go to Mogilan's blog from the link on the right and click on his recent entry.
Haha.

Haha.
Kiss the rain
It rained the whole day. Love it. Because I didn't go to school today and slept almost half the day. Haha. And spent the other half on CM4 and a little physics.
Heard that only 11 people turned up for classes today. Cool. Reckon there'll be less tomorrow, with Ray and Josie going to the airport to study, in peace. Hopefully they won't meet some terrorists and come back in pieces. Erpx. I'm lame.
There's art history lecture tomorrow, that leaves me with no choice but to drag myself shivering out of bed at 6am, or I'll seriously fail art and get retained, which I'll rather drop out of RJ than to experience its thrill.
Yay. At least there's the Yong Dao Fu stall. Whee.

Let's begin studying for promos
Called up my neighbour/buddy-for-a-decade, Baowen, who has just finished his TJ promos on Friday. Felt sad for him. The big man told me he actually wanted to cry after his papers and he didn't even wanna think and predict how much he'll get. Sigh. Sometimes E-O-O-F seems rather easy to obtain, but sometimes it seems a miilions miles away from me. Don't know why really. I think I really should start studying a little more to just get promoted.
By the way, is Maths 9233 really this hard or is it just RJ? This is sad. I can't even complete half the paper.
Just not myself today I guess.

One fun day
A pretty fine day it has been.
Overslept and rushed to school to attend the art history lecture in the morning, only to find that it became nothing but crap-talking session led by Liew.
Afternoon, had lunch with Evita. Got my Econs notes from her. And was seriously tempted to go play pool. After much hesitation, pool we went. Played really like I've never touched a cue before. Man, she's good at this. Got in-evita-bly thrashed by her with my lousy form. 2-7. 'Tis just not my day.
Oh by the way, studying time today = 0.

Next year'll be ours
Met Coach Kuang Ngee after PE today. Got a shock from him. About 6 to 8 RI and Gan Eng Seng basketballers are coming to RJ next year. Woo Hoo! They've all gotten flying colours for prelims, even before moderation of the marks.
Spasms of joy filled my brain, followed by a thrill of cold nerve up my spine. We've got a chance to dominate next year. But will we even be playing? With those new J1s, there'll probably e only 4 to 6 places for J2s next year. Oh no.. (this is the opposite of Every cloud has a silver lining, haha) I don't want my fellow batchmates to get cut again. All 10 of us now are very much committed to basketball. It'ld be really depressing if anyone gets kicked from the team. At first, we only expected the once-in-20-years talent Gariel Pang to come. Now it's nearly the whole RI team.
Perturbed. Stressed. Confused. Ray, Zhi Kai and I stoned for quite a while for this. Arghz.
Like what Zhaf said, we've gotta train like mad after the promos.

S03 = involuntary muggers
Slackers like us would always tease those S03 students and label them as muggers. But I think they don't wanna be like that themselves, but forced and have to work like a slave. Hafta get to know what workload they are facing, maths and 3 sciences that are seriously no joke. Hundreds-paged books are no strangers to them. Can see them carrying "bricks" everyday, no wonder their haversacks are like tortoise shells. Oh well. I just pity them. But everyone has a dream I reckon, and 'tis just the road they've taken to actualise it. Robert Frost's "Two roads diverge in a yellow wood" is well said. And I've taken the other, less travelled.
By the way, I'm really furious sometimes when people just can't even take a few minutes to pause their work, talk and relax a little, due to so-called reason of "I'm mugging now". It's like, will one still have friends in his/her mind when he/she's in need next time when one's already showing bits of the true colours when it's just promos now? I wonder, really.
Well, perhaps these are just tests of friendship in life.
What's friendship, anyway? I'm lost.

Oh well, art's not a bed of roses
Sighz. Not gonna have a chance to taste what S-papers are like I reckon. Coz I just got killed at Art Paper 1. Presented some crappy coursework idea and got totally humiliated by some crappy teachers. Compared to Julienne's and Theresa's presentations, mine was just, somewhat like, muck. Haha. Oh well. That's just life.
Hafta blame it on Mr Liew. 'Tis definitely not my fault coz we've not learnt anything useful from art lessons at all(that can be confirmed with Theresa and Shaun =P). We've not improved a bit other than cramming useless art history books in our ugly spongy brains. Crap.
It's all his fault. =D
Oh anyway, I took a Natural Gas bus today. Pretty cool. Smooth ride. Could finally sleep soundly on a bus. Hope there'll be more of these buses on the roads soon.
