Yea, it's all in the past so i'm just gonna leave and forget about it.&lt;br /&gt;Chinese New Year tmr. Really thankful for the long weekend. Finally some time for rest and respite.&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday was a goodgood day. Went out with half of 1T25 to seoul garden at taka for lunch. The lunch was explosive! hahaha. It was so much fun! all the jokes and cooking :D I must admit, settling down in my class was easier than expected. During lunch, all the boys( only 4 of us) had to crack an egg cos apparently the girls didn't think we could. Haha wtf. After spending around 2 hours there, rushed over to cine to join my 4.1 classmates. We ended up watching some stupid chinese movie cos the others were fully booked. Hahaha, the movie was okay luh. It was quite amusing cos the main character was jackie chan. Uhhh, but the plot sucks! :( Roamed aimlessly around orchard before settling down at sushi tei, paragon for dinner. Thanks junkai for treating us :D The funniest part during dinner was when darren said ' I'm freaking flicking fish hair into your egg' when he meant 'I'm freaking flicking fish egg into your hair' HAHAHA epic! Blew 30bucks on food alone but the laughter, jokes and the fun that I had were priceless :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7664746594403553459-2735669786220587921?l=painfulparadox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://painfulparadox.blogspot.com/feeds/2735669786220587921/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7664746594403553459&amp;postID=2735669786220587921' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664746594403553459/posts/default/2735669786220587921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664746594403553459/posts/default/2735669786220587921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://painfulparadox.blogspot.com/2010/02/what-hurts-most-was-being-so-closeyet.html' title=''/><author><name>Stephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06523256794719697401</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664746594403553459.post-614375804425643751</id><published>2010-02-10T20:00:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-10T20:15:03.971+08:00</updated><title type='text'>TIRED!</title><content type='html'>Came home at 6.30pm today. After dinner i was so soo damn shag, i fell asleep on the floor LOL. :) Just woke up, still feeling groggy. Math and bio has been confusing so far. Sian, CNY hols where are you?...Guess i'll only be wearing my cj uniform next week, after cny hols. Bloody tailor so slow! :( Hahaha at least today was quite interesting. Chinese today was darn pathetic. The chinese teachers look so lost and helpless. It reminds of a certain chinese teacher in sec 3. I hate chinese! but i still wanna do well in it nonetheless.&lt;br /&gt;Tmr's gonna be a long day. Double math period, double chinese period wth.. 2 hours of chinese omg.

D: Today started with some ceremony to officially welcome us, the J1s, into cjc. Felt damn awkward as i was one of the few who wore sec school uniform. Hahahaha, I had to pin the cjc collar pin onto my ac uniform :( The whole ceremony was actually kinda boring. No one was paying much attention to the speakers. Amazingly, the whole school managed to squeeze into that small audi! Skills.&lt;br /&gt;Received our timetable today. Not taking H2 econs has resulted in many many free periods! yeaa :) Math lecture today was FAIL. Didn't understand shit about binomial. I HATE BINOMIAL! Guess i'll have to revise it later.. Omg finally, a good bio teacher. Hahahaha, I've been plagued with lousy noob bio teachers for the past 3 years. Bio lesson wasn't a lesson at all, it was more of a student-teacher interaction.&lt;br /&gt;Well, I must admit, my class, 1T25, has that good vibe. They know when's the time to be funny and joke around, and when's the time to completely shut the **** up and listen. A good study environment, i'm thankful for that :D&lt;br /&gt;Okay, i shall stop here. School ends at 5pm.

Guess i'm destined to stay the cjc. Maybe God has a plan for me :) I guess i'll have to make do with my current subject combination BCM h1 econs. I just wanna say this. This is esp for those people who are currently taking their O'lvls this year. If by any chance you come across my blog and you're taking O'lvls this year, please heed this word of advice. Take O levels seriously! If you don't want to end up like me, you better buck up and get your act together. Play hard; study harder. The feeling of regret simply sucks shit. Yes! Pesevere on! You'll certaintly reap what you sow. So guys, strive on, score well and get into your dream jc/poly! Rather apprehensive to join the group 'cjc class of 2011' on fb. It goes to show that i'm still not quite ready yet.. Is this a dream?

TGIF! Don't need to go to school tmr :) This week's been harsh too, appeals to both acjc and sajc failed. Disappointed once again. Guess i'm stuck in cjc for 2 years. What did i get myself into?! :( I don't think i'll ever be a true cjcsian after being a an ac boy for 10 years. 'Once an acsian, always an acsian' ACS FTW! I certaintly felt regret. I regretted not studying HARDER and for being a goddamn fool in sec 4.. Lessons started today.. wanted to go out with 4.1 dudes today but acjc have a campfire today. Omgg, how cool's that? Wished i was there :(&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;OH WELL, my parents/friends/... okk PEOPLE in general always tell me the same thing.." No matter what jc u get into, everyone in jc would end up with an A level cert" and "It's not the school that determines your results, ultimately, you yourself determine what scores you're gonna get" These statements were comforting for me to say the least. So, to all the people who didn't get into their dream jc, DON'T EVER GIVE UP! Every cloud has a silver lining :) Haha, here's a quote to cheer you guys up! 'There's always light at the end of the tunnel, just pray that it's not a train' :DD&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Orientation ytd ended with a bang. However one part of me felt rather dejected. How i wished that this was just a longgg nightmare/dream, and that i would wake up the next morning and everything would be alright. When reality starts to set in; that's when you really feel like shit. Reality is that i'm in cjc, not acjc. Period.&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;I was flipping through the cjc diary and chanced upon a meaningful quote. It says ' If you don't like something, change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it' - Mary Engelbreit. Yes, i won't deny it. I don't really like cjc, after all, it was my 5th choice :( However, I can't do anything about it anymore. I'll be in cjc for 2 years like it or not. Thus, i'll certaintly make an effort to change my perspective of cjc; Try looking more at the pros of being in cjc, rather than the cons. As of now, i can't think of any pros :( It'll take time...i guess.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7664746594403553459-429699974483028564?l=painfulparadox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://painfulparadox.blogspot.com/feeds/429699974483028564/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7664746594403553459&amp;postID=429699974483028564' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664746594403553459/posts/default/429699974483028564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664746594403553459/posts/default/429699974483028564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://painfulparadox.blogspot.com/2010/02/continued.html' title='CONTINUED...'/><author><name>Stephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06523256794719697401</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664746594403553459.post-7979950817702915013</id><published>2010-02-04T21:35:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T00:23:00.900+08:00</updated><title type='text'>BLOG REVIVED! :D</title><content type='html'>HAHAHA! My blog is dead no more! yay *Clap clap*&lt;br /&gt;The reason why i restarted blogging was that i really need some place to pin down all my feelings. Okay, without further a do, i'll start.&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;OMG Jan '10 was the WORST month of my entire life. Jan '10 was simply filled with pain, agony, disappointment, sadness and more pain! Well, it all started on 11th jan 2010, O'lvl judgement day! That day was the most painful day of my life. Honestly, i thought that i would do pretty well for my O's considering that i scored 9 pts for prelims. Since everyone says that one would normally score 1-3 pts lower than prelim's score. Well o well, it was certaintly not the case for me. I scored 11 pts and IMO it sucks like shit. Damn shocked and disappointed when i saw my results, cried like crazy in the car(first time crying over results, yes i'm a boy and i do cry). At that point of time,  I thought that there was still hope in getting into acjc since I just met their cut off point of ac's arts stream. However, I was less hopeful as the days passed after hearing that the cut off point for ac 2010 might be a partial 7 or even drop to 6.&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Rather emotional over the next week or so aft o lvl results. I kept reflecting on what i've done wrong. 'Did i study hard enough?' Well, i felt that i seriously busted my ass studying! Maybe it was the fact that i started studying a tad too late. YEA, i did really badly for mid-yrs, got 21 pts LOL. Zero As, only Bs and Cs.&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;27 Jan 2010- Yet another day to remember. JAE admission results day. My mum woke me up early to tell me that i was posted to CJC. I was like 'huh wtf?!', totally not expecting to be posted to cj. I was considering my jc options, and if by some chance i didn't get into acjc, sajc is still okay with me. The night before the JAE results, i was like telling God pls don't post me to cjc! either ac or sa, just not cj. Overwhelmed with disappointment once again :( Went to appeal to ac, realised that their cut off point increased despite of rumours saying that it has decreased. Surprisingly, i didn't get in despite meeting their cut off point. Went sa next to appeal, i met their cut off point once again, and still failed to get in. WTF IS WRONG WITH MY LIFE!? FML. Idk whether to be pissed with moe for screwing up my placement or myself for failing to attain at least 10 pts. OMGZ ALL my friends with 10 pts got into acjc wth. I AM SO SCREWED IN CJC!&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;28 Jan 2010- First day at cjc was dreadful. NO FRIENDS, ABSOLUTELY NO FRIENDS! Went into the audi and i was like 'OMG!? THIS IS THE AUDI?!' yea, it is seriously minute compared to acsi, and we have to sit on the floor...Got a culture shock too, saw so many peeps from sji/chij hanging around with their own cliques. Facilities at cj is crap i guess when comparing to acsi. omg, the classes have no air-con, and the chairs are comparable to kindergarden ones. so damn small. Practically stoned the whole day.

Decided to stop as i was overwhelmed with endorphins. Felt so damn high! went back to np room to rest, air-con was set at 16 degrees. didn't care lol. Reached home at approx 9pm AGAIN.&lt;br /&gt;For those who didn't know, i had dropped physics, on friday. Saw no point in taking 9 subjects. Got a dilemma now.. should i study for physics test?

My class has the balance of both. Lets talk about the bad ones shall we? okay, i will start off with gw. This person is prolly the worst teacher that i've had. He fails the most important citeria of being a teacher(personally), that is, gaining the respect of the students. Respect begets respect, simple as that. but he is still phails mann and up till now, i reckon that no one respects him. Some examples: He lectures about respect when he's supposed to be teaching. He doesn't muster the effort to learn his students names, and ends up screwing up their names. not once, nor twice, but several times. He implements threats to try and 'control' the class, which is absolutely FUTILE.. He gives guilt speeches everytime, which waste damn lot of time.. RMB, these are only SOME examples.&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;br /&gt;Yes, i totally understand that humans make mistake as 'to err is human', but if teaching is not ur cup of tea, why choose it in the first place? Haha, okay.. that was just a piece of my mind.. Back to my life.. guess what? Amath homework..again! Sigh, not gonna do it now though. Sch's boring, 'm not gonna deny it. BUT, what to do?

Sec 4 life has been excruciating! the repitition of sch-hw-sleep is driving nuts. As i am typing this, a long list of homework awaits my arrival. Ranging from lit essay to chinese papers, how i wish that my homework was asexual, so it could 'do' itself.(haha, lame) So the process will repeat till the end of O's, but yet another chapter of studying awaits.. okay. enough of ranting. -UCK! On the &lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;BRIGHT&lt;/span&gt; side, i've been blog hopping now and then, it came to my realisation that 'KCUF' is one of the commonly used vocab/word on most blogs. That proves that most of the sec4s are on the verge of collapsing, and i'm not the only one! "no matter how hard/shitty ur life is, rmb that there will be at least a person in this world that is experiencing something much more worse that you.."- heard it from somewhere. so let it be an encouragment to all the depressed people in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;~ Will we think about tommorrow like we think about now?

Treashure hunt- spent the whole time walking aimlessly around the forest. they didn't even announce the winner. WTH.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Mega Mall- nothing much to buy, so went bowling lol. Damn cool, bowled in the dark with luminous balls. (That sounded weird) &lt;that&gt;haha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day3- Port Dickson. Rafting was fun! Loved the eagle extreme challenge, and the time spent in the pool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day4- Bus-ed to Awana. Had indoor activities first. Some lazer + hostage game. Spent less than 7mins playing the game, the rest of the time was pet-talk by some guy. Lunch there was the bomb! After lunch was outdoor activities. Team-building games which our class totally dominated in, secured the top 2 positions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day5- Toured the city. Went up some tower. Afternoon was abseiling. Challenging, i must admit. Last night of CDP was spent at ivan/J.K 's room. Apparently, half of the class was there, that's 13 people! Played the 'water game' that sent many scampering for the toilet. oh and oso some wolf game. Played till 1am, went back, packed, slept at 3am. lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day6- Last day. Mixed emotions about going back. Bought local delights back. Taiti-ed on the bus again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;CNY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Spent time with relatives.

That was fast! 6 days filled with relentless shopping and maybe a tiny bit of sight-seeing is OVER! Summer time over at Perth, so the sun sets at around 8.30pm daily. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;It was a time of firsts for me during the trip. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rode a go-kart for the very first time. It was supa fast! a pity i lost to my sister:(&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Shopped like mad- also a first. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Windy and cool over there. Pretty nice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;~ &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;To summarise each day- breakfast, shopping, lunch, shopping, dinner, sleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;haha, one thing i notice about aussies is that they are always punctual. off to work at 8am and leave at 5pm on the dot! Alsoalso, aussies are big! like the americans. there is a special section called "Mr. Big" in every hypermart to cater for these horizontally challenged people. lol, it is amazing that people are getting larger even though the economy is taking a nosedive. No wonder Mr. Big's everywhere!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Extravagantly priced items coupled with huge christmas discounts made it affordable for most. hehe, so i was able to buy some stuffs, including a new pair of shoes:) andand havaianas! a plain black one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Encounter much turbulence on the flight back to s'pore. cos the pilot had to make up lost time since the flight was delayed. Scary yet exhilarating, and a little queezy at the end. Haha. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;ohh sheesh, i almost forgot. ELECTRONIC toilets! this toilet is SOOO COOL! it's a public toilet by itself and placed on a street, everything's made up of metal.. and you gotta press a boutton and the door will open. haha, then there's a voice.."please enter, you have 10mins before the warnings sounds will be turned on and the door will open"(smth like that). lololol, imagine you're still sh-ting and the doors open...0: damn, no photo of it! grrr.. But still, didnt expect it to be on a street-side.. ohya, there's music in the toilet too:))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;From walking aimlessly trying to look for a particular thai restaurant, and settling for pancakes in the end to continuously getting blown away by outrageous prices ever popping up, it was certaintly a trip worth remembering~ Back to s'pore where school looms ominously ahead :/&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;~10 more days~&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7664746594403553459-415320100410083510?l=painfulparadox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://painfulparadox.blogspot.com/feeds/415320100410083510/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7664746594403553459&amp;postID=415320100410083510' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664746594403553459/posts/default/415320100410083510'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7664746594403553459/posts/default/415320100410083510'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://painfulparadox.blogspot.com/2008/12/poof-back-in-spore.html' title=''/><author><name>Stephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06523256794719697401</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664746594403553459.post-81743961254483932</id><published>2008-12-16T17:57:00.010+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-23T17:51:20.829+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Off to perth tmr with my cousin and co. for 6 days, a much needed rest and respite before the sch reopens.
