Pink candy floss
I, Jack R C, citizen of the Republic of Singapore, will from now on do my best in protecting my gum, teeth and breath by brushing, rinsing and flossing for at least ten whole minutes every morning and evening, as prescribed by a anonymously cute dentist at Dental Centre wearing pink retainers and strawberry-scented perfume.
(By the way, this is NOT an oath.)

Got no camera to see
Forget about yesterday; today's good, tomorrow'll be better.
Thought physics practical was pretty lovely today. The ping-pong ball experiment (which was actually something like the Barton's Pendulum) made me perspire cold sweat realising I'm acutually quite a clumsy dummy at first but was alright in the end, while the potentiometer experiment gave me 10 minutes to sleep and another 10 minutes to make an art work (that had to be destroyed in the end sadly) out of the all the funny apparatus. Heez.
Took bus with Julienne after art history class at NJC and realised that that was astonishingly the first time talking to her other than saying hi or asking about homework in these 2 years. Hehe. Oh wellz.
Visited the art museum with my parents. Had some mixed feelings seeing dad's good friend Tan Swie Hien being so highly celebrated by the local art scene, or rather, the government. Well at least it's good for him. Then saw Zhu Ming's enlightening sculptures and wondered if Singapore can ever produce someone like him to really boot "cultural desert" out of our volcabulary.
Hahaha. ("Think of the hahas as pronounced in slow monotone." Inside joke. =P)

The name game
I wish I don't have to talk to (or care about, rather stupidly) people, who are innocent (or appear to be so) but at all mindless of what comes out of their mouths, anymore. It's hurtful, especially when I've got such a bad month this August. Perhaps this is what one gets when he bothers too much about things. I am pathetic.
Oh wheez. Prelims commence tomorrow with Physics practical experiment. These exams are gonna be quite some challenge as I really don't have spare time to properly study everything due to the imminence of the marking of my A-level art project. I love challenges.
Anyways, so this was the last school day before the prelims. Wanted to have a good day but hah, according to the Law of Chance (forgotten if it's Andre Breton's or Jean Arp's theory by the way), things did so coindentally pop out to ruin the fun. How fun.

Metamorphosis
I hope the spelling's correct. Hah.
Sorta studied a tiny bit of physics with Hongkai (and supposedly his classmate who didn't show up in the end) at Coffee Club within Kinokunia and then Lido just now feeling so bored that I thought every air-conditioner in town was down. Argh. The shaggy feeling just keeps coming back these days.
After an unintended suggestion by him I thought that I'll do something drastic tomorrow, just like during ORA family day this year. =P But after some time with matured consideration, reckon I shan't after all. That means I'm normal still. Whew. I'm saved by my consciousness. Heez.
Only realised this afternoon that tomorrow's my last day of formal classes in Raffles Junior College. Not supposed to but was a little saddened by that thought. The beginning of the end eh? Nah. Reckon it's the end of the beginning, always. But anyhow, hafta cherish the day in school tomorrow. And there'll be new challenges waiting for me after that. Love it. =)

Vroom
It's pretty enjoyable playing badminton with ex-classmates after a long day spent entirely on my art coursework. Nice Engineering folks like Ken, Hocks and Glad are surprisingly hard to find in other faculties these days, whose friendship is pure, truthful. For a while it felt like we were in JC1 still, cheerful and youthful. To realise the reality we're in after that was somewhat painful.
Went back with Hocks and found that he's actually the only one I'ld talk to (truthfully) now when in need. Thanks Hocks. It's sad that I know really few good friends who live in central and western Singapore. I miss those days when I could just walk down the streets in Yio Chu Kang finding close friends to talk to when I'm down and chill out and party with when we felt like it. Life does change.
It's blurry out there. Or is it just me, just now.

Wasn't me
Back from Mr Lee's art history class at NJC. Had a small talk that felt absolutely unnatural with Clara in the porcelain room (something which I'm pretty sure RJC will definitely not have even in its new campus nest year) before class, and felt really shagged. Didn't pay attention at all during the lesson on Conceptual Art after that. Oh wellz. We had happier times, nonetheless.
After some time I've realised that it'ld be a really stupid idea to hold abhorrence to a certain religion for the rest of my life just because of something crazy and absurd popped out from nowhere. And besides, it ain't even a law or a rule in that religion that the certain something is disallowed totally. Perhaps it's personal. Hah. Which makes me personally feel like an idiot more. Sad stuff eh? The sadder is when I've just realised today that I ain't quite a good rebounder after all. Heh.
Well what in the world am I talking about here? I'm not myself today.

Virgin airbus
Wonder if Valueair and Air Asia are using all Airbus airplanes, coz reckon it's only now that the literal definition of an "air-bus" is fulfilled, with air tickets almost as cheap as bus tickets. Haha. Just saw on the papers lately that if one orders early, she might get a ticket on Valueair from Johore Bahru to Kuala Lumpur for just 59 cents. By the way, nah, this ain't some advertisement for the budget airlines yeah. Perhaps I'm just over-reacting. I'm always slow anyways. Heez. Backpacking overseas now costs less than cabbing round the Singapore! Gotta try that some time. =)
Anyway, caught The Virgin Suicides on VCD this afternoon (what an old film, eh). Well reckon I didn't get most of it because I was falling asleep the whole time. Haha. Whoa. Only lately I've realised Kirsten Dunst has got quite a smile from some angles on the screen. Arh whatever.
Always thought that the Alexandra area I'm currently staying in is pretty dead, like as if it's dead quiet in the night even during the day. But it's pretty surprising to see active youngsters in the forums at WhoLivesNearYou.com actually organising neighbourhood hangouts and gatherings for everyone. Hahaha. Reckon it's time to get to know ye neighbours, dude.

Digestive biscuits
Came back from watching Alien VS Predator with Von, learning something new. "Your enemy's enemy is your friend." Whoa. That's something to know yeah. Haha.
Anyways, thought I was gonna stuck at home today after Theng backed out on me but still went out in the end. Arghz. Needa add more resistence from social life really. Wonder when I am gonna start studying hard for prelims. What prelims anyway. Heez. I mean, the A-levels. Somebody stop me. Bleahz.

Nothing left
Is there really a machine that deletes one's unwanted memories like the one in The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? Reckon I need it, terribly, sometimes.
Well at least the art coursework consultation session in NJC was rather enjoyable today. Mr Lee and I were both ignoring the fact that we had some serious quarrel Tuesday all along, surpringly. Forgive and forget. So does forgetting mean forgiving? Haha.
The weather's strange. Just after profuse perspiration under the scorching star I began shuddering in the cateen as it start to pour like a waterfall. Analogy: things do change, before you know it for the most of the time. Hahaha. I'm really "talking about the weather" literally, eh?
Bored.

Saw me sawing my sore hands?
If you see someone doing funny stuff on the art room balcony these days (i.e. above the council room, by the way, haha), that's me. My art coursework's driving me crazy lately. The Brits are coming on October 1st to judge the stuff for the A-levels and I'm still at the starting line bending down tying shoe-laces. Haha. Purportedly gonna stay through 9pm today, just like the "good students with such a life" of NJC AEP who stay back almost every evening entertaining themselves with sketches after sketches, but wenta play basketball in the end with ZK and was a little too tired to do anything after that. Bah. But I hafta thank Keat Loon (got to know from John that his new nickname's Breast just this morning.. Haha. Pretty appropriate use of the word there, really!) for spending so much time that he could have used to finish an S paper economics book or something to help me as my model and helper. It feels so good to have some friend like him. =) Thank you, Looney.
Wenta Ikea for a lovely evening stroll by myself just now and wondered why there're always so many people twenty-four seven here everyday. Perhaps it's cool, plus all the expensive bars and restaurants at Anchorpoint just opposite the road. Alexandra might most plausibly be the middle-age adults' Orchard Road these days. For a second I imagined myself drinking in front of the TV and some hot bar-lady in Sanliu Bar after work, and bringing my wife (whose face was not some pretty actress but was blank yet at that while) to Haagen-Das for supper. Heez. Wonderful life, eh? That's if I'll still be staying on this tiny pimple of the world. Bleahz. Oh, life!
Now, back to the present. It's time for dinner. (Swedish Meatballs, anyone?)

Mind your head
An unproductive day at home. Yun Lei just reminded me of good memories that I didn't wanna track back to. Bleahz. And now I'm feeling suddenly hollow. What's up with me? Hah.
So what was I gonna say just now? Haha. Forgotten. Never mind.

Leave, left, left
Down and up.
It's lonely after school these days. I've got nothing to do but wander around in town or anchorpoint or holland village wondering why I'm not getting the momentum to studying still.
People seem to brighten up a little in school and everyone's surprisingly becoming friendlier. Don't know how this will last but well, it's still something out of nothing. Heh.
What's happening to my head lately? It spins quite a bit. Think I need some new contact lenses for my right eye. Perhaps I should try wearing tinted ones on just one side, I'll purr like a Persian cat. =P
So, my 12th year supporting Liverpool began with an 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hospur. Whatever. At least Rafael Benitez's smart enough to share same thoughts as me in dumping Michael Owen to Real Madrid. It's time for something new. Just like what I need, too.

78th street
Just read some blogs and I'm wondering why's everyone so worked up about the coming prelims. Well, perhaps I should too, realising there're only a few weeks left before the "end-of-the-world" (for some). Hah. Think I'm pretty blessed not taking those highly appealing special papers as upon self-realisation I'm just not someone who's just gonna sit down so scholarly for hours and hours absorbing useless facts about the world of abstractly advanced mathematics or the deoxyribonucleic acids or something like that. For all, art makes you whole, which nothing else can. Haha.
Oh well. Reckon life goes on no matter what one's experiencing at the moment. Do take a break and get a life, guys, or you'll become a dull Jack.

Twisties
Double twists, no climax. But I hafta agree with Mark that it's a pretty good budget film, especially with it's unique and uncliched plot. Surpringsly enough, this not-that-scary scary movie made me jump twice(yeah yeah, I still don't believe you only jumped once, Da. Pretty sure it wasn't the temperature that made you curl up like a kitty coz you were wearing a sweater and I wasn't! Hahaha).
Anyways, hafta thank Dalena for the company last night. Haven't really had a single good day since weeks ago. Oh by the way, do tell me if anyone knows of a prawn-lovers' restaurant or something like that, yeah? Heez. Inside joke.
Sigh. Gonna visit my dreadful dentist later before going down to NJC for art lesson. Hope she's not gonna nag at me for not flossing my teeth regularly again. Bleah. Time to brush. Haha.

Dragon fly
A month's passed in a blink of the eye. Aunt and cousin are leaving later at midnight. Hafta admire myself for keeping my cool every time that 10-year-old giant asked me to sing, to play with her or to answer some lame relationship questions. Hahaha. For all I know being a sentimental human being I'm gonna miss them quite a bit for the next few days or weeks or even months. Oh well.
Anyways, thanks for passing me the flu this morning, Kooi Fei! Just hope that Looney and Alicia didn't catch it too sitting down the row. =P Heez. Well, it's time for dinner..

Life is Beautiful
Just watched this Italian film on VCD (thanks Hock Boon). It's so much more touching than humorous that I actually cried while laughing. Man, I'm such a crybaby, don't know how much tears I've lost lately (been water-parading really quite a bit though hah) and don't know why's my life meandering so much.
Life is beautiful, really, no matter what pops up occasionally. Just hope that everything goes well for everyone. Treasure life.

To all those religion-believers out there, try asking yourselves this, do you actually know what religion is? What it is all about? Where is the final destination?
Whatever.

Man from Mars
Easy it is to heal a broken vase,
But it ain't so the soul inside that's marred.
Anyways, all thanks to Yeo Feng that I'm back online! After 7 weeks of anticipation in getting my motherboard back from Taiwan, my computer's still dead for some reason I know not of. Hongkai tried his best too but was to no avail either. We even went all the way to his place and cabbed back with his monitor but was answered with a blank screen. Hah. But Yeo Feng's just lent me his old Compaq laptop. Yay. Saved my butt man.
Well that's the only bit of good news out of everything that's torturously happening lately. Anyone can see how my life has become. Silver lining, where?
