Whatever my parents say that i cannot use the com at home so guess what? I am in school right now and using my English teacher's laptop to blog. If you are wondering why I am in school on Saturday, its because I have this info day thing in which I am supposed to help out. Just because of this stupid thing I have to miss my Taekwondo Intra-Club tournament at 11.45am today... the previous time I took part, I got a gold... I believe that was last year. *sigh*
Anyway... Right now, Kevin and Andrew are having a "stimulating" debate about the layout of the English billboard thing. Kevin just said, and I quote, "wait until Mrs. Kwok scolds you for screwing up her board. Lol thats like, the first time I heard Kevin say the word "screw".
There is this Bio board showing a video of "HOW to disect a rabbit". Last, last, last, last track and field training, my seniors and I saw the end product. I shall spare the details for those of you who are afraid of graphic scenes. Right now, I am bored to death, waiting for the parents to come....................................................................................................................................................................... Okay, instead of spamming my own blog, I am going to sign out now........................................................................................................................................................................OKAY,OKAY I really am done now.

This sickness just seems to be getting better and better! (note the sarcasm) Apparently now I have a fever. Just because of that I had to miss 2 of the Track and Field holiday trainings.
Right now, I don't even know what to type about since I spent the last few day practically in my bed. I just realised that my posts are getting shorter and shorter. Hmm...
Ah well, if I can't talk about the past, might as well talk about the future. So, tomorrow I am leaving for New Zealand. I wonder how it will be like, spending 10 days there. My mom says that we may be going skydiving. Lol, than I would be able to say that I jumped out of a plane. Though I would have prefered bungee jumping.
Okay, so I will be gone from the 8th to the 18th. Till then, I don't think there will be any posts.

Great, now I have a freaking cold... Now, everything I eat is practically tasteless and I can't breathe properly... Anyway, back to my life.
Today, while walking through the corridor of my condo, I saw a bug (looked like a beetle) overturned and desperately trying to get off its back. It looked so hapless.
The insect resembles that of the "lower class" of people. Being insignificant and helpless, they are desperately trying to get back on their feet and come back from their fall. With, no one to help them, they must find their own way to survive in the world.
So, thats all for today.

Sorry for not posting for quite a while. My internet has been going beserk for the past few days. First, my computer could not connect, then the router had some stupid problem with it.
Anyway, its back on now. So, the holidays have started. I rather not talk about the last few days because nothing interesting happened and I am actually lazy to type it out =P. Whatever, I gotta go for tuition now. I still can't believe I have tuition in the hols. Gotta fix that...

Ispired for one of my Primary School friends, Shing Yang, I decided to make my own "life lessons" column. Basically, I will narrate my life as it happens and share with you what I have learnt from my experience
Yesterday, I was told that there would be a Dragon Boat Race at Kallang River. I refused to go as I was sick. In actual fact, there was another reason behind why I refused. To tell the truth, I really was sick, but there was something more. I have this thing against deep waters. I do not know what it is, but I have a phobia, or maybe I am just not confident. I am not actually sure. Possiby because I haven't swam in 2 years. Anyway, I did not sign up.
So what's the lesson? Everyone has a side that they try to hide. Some people may see my "sickness" as just an excuse not to go. This IS true. Now, I realised that even if I was not sick, I would probably not go anyway. I do not know why I couldn't let myself go. I am not saying that I wanted to let my friends down, but I just could not convince myself that I would be safe halfway in a deep river in this boat.
Next point, do not run away from your fears. You will have to face them someday, sometime. For me, I ran away from my fear of deep water yesterday. Sooner or later, I would have to face it. I just didn't choose to face it today. I regret it. Some people spend their whole lives with their phobias. Some even die fearing what they fear. I definitely do NOT want to be like them.
What my conclusion? All people have their dark side. Almost all people have fears. I learnt these just within the time span of two days. All we have to do is choose if we want to be overcome by our dark side or to fearful all our lives. Almost everyone won't openly admit that they have fears or that they made an excuse just for the benefit for themselves. One thing is definitely certain. People LEARN from their mistakes. I know I definitely will. Sometimes, we have to fail to succeed.
I'm done for today...

Okay, in case people do not know, thursday is the "slack" day for us in 102. The reason is that we have 3 periods of "non-examinable" subjects; art and 2 periods of computer studies. Just so you know, thats 150 minutes of "slacking"
Anyway, today was even better. As tomorrow was the Dragon Boat Race or whatever, today is to be the last day of the term. Meaning that we had to spend the last period cleaning up the classroom. Another "slack" period. After the classroom clean-up, Our form tutor, Ms Feroz Abdul Ghani(sp?), gave out the report books. So, like the 11 people before me, I went up. Then she gave this speech on how much I had improved in this class(Btw I improved 17 positions. From 18th to 1st lol) and so on... I felt kinda stupid, standing up there, waiting for the lecture to finish.
So, today's the final day of the term, and tomorrow there's no classes. What's my resolution this holiday? Slack like there's no tomorrow! Fine, so I won't be slacking the whole holiday, but at least 75% of it. Aiyah, I think that's it for today. Sianz of typing liao... -.-

Today I got one of the best news in my life.
It happened during English period I think. In our school, classes confirm their common tests marks. Just so happens that my TA2 (Term Assesment 2) was about a week over. The report book drafts were circulated in my class. The day before, there was a rumour that I was 2nd in class. Today, I recieved the official results. I GOT 10TH!! No, I am just joking. In reality I was first in class. Okay, so I am smartest in class. Don't get me wrong, it was a good moment. However some people started complaining because they were studying higher mother tongue and were disappointed with their results. They said that they were beaten by people who took the "normal" mother tongue.
To me, that is an unfair assumption. I say that they were the ones who performed better in PSLE and were chosen to take higher mother tongue. Okay, so I admit, I may have gotten really, I mean REALLY, low marks for the tests. But if teachers made the tests that hard, wouldn't they have been confident that you would do well? I mean, its not like they want you all to fail. This however is only MY point of view. So others may see it another way...Whatever. All I know is that everyone is supposed to try their best for everything they do.
Thing learned from this
1.I rawk!! (lol ego...)
2.Some people like to make excuses
3.Work hard and you will be rewarded
