Just some random pics from the past few days.

Techonology Trouble.

Ben acting spastic. Cos he injured his leg, all 4 limbs can't be used.

The Pale Men

Ben really should hide this dolphin. The ACRES people in the canteen don't like the dolphin lagoon already. If they see this, it may set their righteous anger aflame and they might tear Ben apart. And the dolphin too. Or put it on display. Just kidding. Lol.

Dan and Ben playing ET.


Hmm today was ok. We coulda ponned econs cos there was only 1 teacher, the lecturer. THey rest must be having a late assumed breakfast. "Hmm, let me assume I have a bagel." Oh, and Econs teachers obviously have VERY strong spirit force. They can make time slow down by assuming they went back 10 mins in time. This is why our lecture today seems like time slowed down. Twilight zone! The awesome force of their power also means the ENTIRE QUESTIONS can disappear off paper, like planes and ships in the bermuda triangle. Except it's LT4 here. Her question (a) was not there, and neither was (c)...lol.


Chem lec was ok, Herr Doktor didn't kill anyone today. He disappeared very quickly. We weatched An Inconvenient Truth in GP. OMGOMGOMG our SECOND GP movie! Yay! =.= But I found it to be a very great movies. Those who haven't watched it should. It really is wonderful. We were left with 10 min before we had to leave for math. Math test was Guanine Guanine...GG already. =[ I only hope that I don't fail too badly. Training was pretty ok too. Not too bad...I'm seeing improvement. =] Had KFC, walked to the busstop in the heavy rain =.= (Peer pressure) and got my nice new shoes wet! =[ We used our sch uniforms as raincoats, and looked like pilgrims or nuns...well, we just looked stupid. Lol. Hmm...off to do work I guess.


Ben I didn't blog abt your topc cos well, I have to mug. lol.


[UPDATE]
Oh shiz. I dunno what to do for econs. I asked val and she's not sure. She told be only that we have to do the green book...=S and Math tuto I can't really do...Chem tuto 20 they going thru in lectures...and that only leave acids assignment. So...I am forced NOT to complete my ecins HW, which is NOT good! And I dunno what will we be doing in Chem tuto...o_O As a 1337speaker would say, ouh noes!!!111

Math Test tomorrow. Integration. Of all topics, the one I am the weakest at, and TWO tests at thst! Are they trying to target me and make me fail on purpose or what? WTH is their problem??? I understand PnC and Probability but NOOOOO they have to give TWO tests on Integration.


I was doing homeowrk last night until about 2. Was so tired I couldn't have studied even if I wanted to. Started dozing off in Math lec and Chem tuto. At least GP was amusing. Conrad made us go to the forum again. My and Danson started to wreak havoc. Suscessful derailed one thread *kaboom!* [smoke] and in the process of kicking a few more off the rails into the dirt where they'll crash and burn. We went from wherether the characters were doing the right thing to radioactive spiders and Cicak man o_O and Storm(X-men) at last count.


We made several posts to boost our post count though you can't see any, using the forum as a form of MSN messenger. I daresay the forums were looking very fine after we were through. Ben was hit on the head by Herr Doktor R in chem lec. I told him he was looking for brains. I imagine tomorrow he won't be in school cos his brain will have been spirited away in the dead of night, leaving a brainless Ben corpse on the bed for his parents.


I was feeling sleepy and passed around my Mentos during Chem lesson. It seems either my class has a Mentos deficiency or they just all felt sleepy too. The entire roll was gone after only going through half their hands. Fast. Lol. After sch, went home, nothing to eat(cos i thought I'd be studying in school), cooked noodles, bathed and went to Shawn's house study. I dunno how I'll make it through tomorrow...I couldn't do a lot of questions...shit. =[ Wish me luck. No time for more...back to mugging. No time for spell check either.


[UPDATE]
I'm tired. Tired of this. Not physically, but mentally I guess. Tired of getting the wrong answers. Tired of trying and trying and trying, but it's pointless without anyone to help me. My integration has gone down the drain since more than a year ago, and I still haven't regained control of it yet. I understand all the concepts but I just can't get the right answer. I don't know why. Increasingly, I find myself hoping working marks will not make me fail too badly. Will they even give working marks for this? Sigh. Half of me wants to sleep and forget about this, half wants to go on doing the questions. Suffering...

Sure, shit happens. But do you want to be around when it hits the fan?

I
am unique.


I
am:
the only person in my CCA taking bio and vice versa
the only person in my CCA taking CLB and vice versa


I
take Bio, Chem, Math, H1 Econs, CLB, and bowling, which creates a unique combination of things that can legally occupy my life and take away time spent for homework and also results in an amazingly long timetable. Training at Changi means dinner out and long bus rides home.


I
leave the house at 630am and return at 10pm every Monday.
This equals 15.5hours spent away from home, or approximately 65% or 2/3 of my days is spent outside. Of the remaining time left, 5 hours is spent asleep. And the last 3? Doing homework.


I
have a splitting headache now.


I
have work to do still.



I
feel screwed by my idiot timetable.


A short summary of today
PE as usual. Lacrosse was pretty fun. Maybe we'll have to buy a Lacrosse brand shrit next lesson, ha-ha. Zul got mauled by Galvyn who attempted to snatch the ball weven though it was out and ours. Galvyn attempted to scoop the ball from my lacrosse stick while I was holding it. Edison called Galvyn a freak and Galvyn shoved him, which resulted in an incident with Eric Chua. LOL.


Shit I just remembered I forgot to hand in Chem assign. Sth new to do tonight. z0mg shit I think I just blasted through my free smses this month like a bat outta hell and I still have almost 2 weeks to go through...


Watched Ben play with the new games he downloaded for his GC during math tuto...=S Chem tuto was ok. I got shot at again. I think I have a mugger version of shell shock. That's when veteran soldiers get trauma when they heard loud noises. Mine is name shock. Thanks to Hartini, Everytime I hear something similar to my name (CAN ar/KENNETH weee/CAN or not) etc, I feel the adrenaline spike in me and my atttention peaks to look at the teacher. Dammmit. Not fun at all. =.=


Herr Doktor R told Ben "one more time you do that you see what you get," when he noticed him smsing. I told Ben to watch out in case he might steal Ben's brain for his evil Nazi experiments. Ben started laughing (silently) when he heard this. Then Herr Doktor later lamabsted two girls for doing something or other during the lesson(I'm not sure what) He did this for a very long time, and asked for their names. I bet there'llme two more new pickled brains in the Secret Underground Lab of Doktor R under the school tonight. Eeps.


Ben came up with this weird idea of drawing eyes in his palms like the Pale Man in pan's labryinth. Stupid and funny. Danson and Galvyn got in on the fun too. Then they greeted Conrad with their eyes. Lol. Pics tomorrow. GP was ok...did my hw so nth bad happened. =P Now its Ben's turn to get shot at lol.


[Fast Forward]
After training Shawn discovered he lost his phone. We thought it may be at CBC. Then he was DAMN lucky. We wanted to go back to CBC, then I forgot and went to the wrong busstop. The one which BenQ's mom dropped us off at. Then he was super pissed now, and turned around and walked to the right one. I was behind, then I just looked at the ground with a passing glance, totally natural, no planning at all. Bang. Something black and shiny was winking at me from there. A phone the same model as his. How lucky can he be? But I think a vehicle ran over it. The sliding is iffy now, and the top button are weird when pressed. The SIM slot cover can't be shut properly either, and somehow the phone feels flatter. BUT, it works ok! Testament yo the indestructibility of Nokia phones I guess. Cool. Ok, off to work. Damn. No spell check today. =S
[UPDATE]
Sigh. I have no choice I think. Returning home so late after training, I also forgot to bring back my chem notes. PLUS, how do I complete 5 long deduction questions when I start working at about 11pm, and still have time to study for my math test and do my assignment? Highly unlikely. Copying...=.=

Sigh. Is it me or do all parents have an obsessive-compulsive disorder with cleanliness? I was in my room minding my own business when suddenly my mum walked by. "Kenneth! Why is there water on your window?" Honestly, in that tone of voice you'd have thought someone died. Of course you may think I'm exaggerating. Believe what you will, but I stand firm by what I heard.


I looked out, saw a few drops of water on the window and sill. "I just washed them some time ago..." And I quote she told me that this window dripping down from nowhere onto her clean windows made hr "sad". I really have nothing to say here. Then a few mins later, she came in and starting wiping the windows. Again. I was listening to music and heard this strange noise. Turned around and there she was, slipped into my room with the silence of a Navy SEAL, wiping the windows. I was quite startled by this.


As I write this [1553pm], it started raining. And my windows are wet again so...I still have nothing to say. Sigh. Then she started complaining about this broken file I kept in my cupboard. [see Jan archives.] It came from my 1st 3 months in SRJC, and I was reluctant to toss it out as it still holds a certain quality, a poignant reminder of the fun and great friends I had back then, a fun that seems a million miles away in this hellhole called Mugland. One thin tenous thread, linking back to a better time. And when I told her I kept it for memories' sake she went on about why I should have kept a good file instead of a broken one. I flew off the handle here. Hell, if the file was fixed you think I'd keep it here? I'd be using it, as I was doing for almost one year. Obviously the fact Chingay forced me to push every single piece of my weekend homework into one day didn't do wonders for my temper from the start.


So I got super pissed off, and my dad started yelling, and he started shouting about me, and from nowhere, about not bathing, and going off to mess with other people's stuff. Where does BATHING fit into this??? Somebody enlighten me. Its always about baths. Uncountable times during arguments, he'll shout at us to go and bathe or that we haven't even taken a bath before [insert event here that leads to a fight]. I really don't know what is going on. Once again, we're back at the same topic. Now I remember why I used to lock myself in my room in the past. To think all this started from the fact my mum saw a few drops of water on my window. If the door was shut, zip zero nada. The water would've evaporated by itself, she wouldn't have seen it, and we would've lived happily ever after until the next conflict, at least. I don't know why I keep forgetting to lock the door now.


Locking myself in most of the time at home may contribute to rising emo levels and declining sanity, but hell, sometimes I think I'm the only sane person here. I don't take joy from fighting with them, but sometimes when the pressure gets too high, the safety valve just opens, and then good luck to anything in its way. I not happy about it either.


Note to self: Stay in room whenever possible. LOCK door. Do work. Ignore everything else.
[UPDATE]
That's it. It's official. Today SUCKS bigtime. Tuition was horrible. I unno what was wrong with me today, but I suspect maybe up there some malignant cosmic force was minipulating me. I had trouble understanding stuff, and couldn't think clearly AT ALL. Virtually everything I did was wrong. As if to mock me, every question I did, the sin, cos or tan was correct but the frickin' values were wrong. And it just kept getting worse. My tutor asked me this question and I said X squared over 5. And there was this puase which usually indicates a wrong answer. So I said X squared. And then he asked me why I didn't know how to do factorisation. Like WTF? I can't explain it, but it was just like everything was going wrong and I couldn't get it all straightened out. And he kept on going on about if I can't even go factorisation I shouldn't be in JC. Which obviously made things worse. It was ;like I wqas thinking at half-speed throughout. Frick. Then I was like shitshitshitshit and wondering whether I had the correct answer which resulted in a delayed response to every question. Then when getting my homework out I nocked over my cup and spilled water all over everything. FUCK! Today's a screwed up day. I get the point. Therer's not need for this again. Right now, I've either burned up all my anger, or am too tired to care or and simply resigned to my fate that the curse of bad luck the powers above set upon me at the beginning of the year is back again. Hooray. Maybe my don't care philosophy will be back again. I simply wanna scream fucklaknnbccbi'msickandtiredofthisfuckingshitalreadyfuckfuckfuck. I think I need to sleep soon. Why the hell is today so screwy?

Finally. It's over. I'm extremely tired after two consecutive days of doing the same thing,so I'll do this the simplest way I can think of. A short recap, then pictures(more than 50 of them) with captions and then it's off to bed for me. Well, I got my haircut(finally, again) and it looks a lot better now. Then, came home, bathe and out again. Reached on time. Stoned at the test for damn long again. The packet food they gave us was blearghs. The veg looksed at least one day old. And the ushers got bento. Potassiumnitrogennitrogenboroncarboncarbonboron proper food! And I could have gotten it. They said they'll be hand picking their VVIP ushers on NDP from those doing the VIP area,which I was supposed to be in. In fact I was supposed to be in the VVIP sector. Fine then, so the rejection is mutual. Not that I think I'll have time for it. =.=


Anyway there are some buggers who I think shouldn't have been volunteers. In fact I WONDER why they volunteered. They; referring to those higher up than us...one particular sod kept yelling at us. Dammit, other people in charge are rushing and flustered but at least they take the time to slow down and explain stuff to us, not just yell and boss us about. Prick. He irritated us so much even my group leader got pissed off...hurry up? sure...go to the other side? ok...sector 1 but we weren't allowed to be in our designated area. Wow. So we stalked off (as a group) to the ass-end of the parade. Quite literally the other end of the entire freakin street. Here's YOUR other side.


Then we were called back by this other volunteer (A more well-mannered one) and were spread out along the ass end of the parade. =.= Then we had a group toilet outing where we went to the toilet, then to the bottom of Tangs to dapao food and drinks back. Went back to our posts. Stood there, waitied for it to start. There was a lot of stuff going on at my side. Lol. There was the super enthu Coke performers with their drums and all, spurred on by this enthu man in the crowd. =S Inflation(non-economically) of these giant balloons similar to the Zorb balls. And the Spanish dancers. They crowded to the side of the barricade to welcome the VIPs. Lol. I shook hands with a couple of people...hmm my important people contact list of the day was:


Shook hands with Tharman Sharmaguratnam(unsure of spelling)-Minister of Education
Shook hands some Malay guy whom I didn't recognise
Saw Lee Hsien Loong's bro (I think-very big resemblance)
Waved at The President - SR Nathan. Must be cos he saw us volunteers uber sorang at the ass end, so he waved to us.^^


Lol. Then when the thing started, they let us move about to watch but c'mon, we have to be back by 830 and we have to squeeze from Tangs to Paragon? And to get there and be in maybe the 5th row of people? SO not worth it...so we camwhored with the performers...lol. I will get Candice to send me the pics sometime soon. We mainly used her cam. I took a pic with Sheik Haikel....lol, and the rest took one with Aaron Aziz, this Malay actor I think...after the thing, the post parade party started.


I managed to get a peek at some of the ministers' cars before they drove off...saw BMWs, VW Touareg...then they drove off. =\ When the parade ended, they started moving the cars out, it seemed like some minister drag race? Lol. All the luxury cars, all in white, parked facing the wrong way, side to side on closed roads. That was when SR Nathan waved to us. =D We squeezed through the party only after making a U turn cos they wanted to, I dunno, take some pics with someone? =S We saw this tall woman in a flowing dress and wondered who it was. I noticed she had a big van picking her up, and thought she should be someone famous. Then OMG its Kumar in drag! Lol. And they were right. It was Kumar. We nearly got him to take a pic with us.


Nearly got lost in the PPP. A lot of people were having fun waving at the cameras and throwing bits of confetti. Near the end, we couldn't see much of the fireworks at all...only hear the reports which sounded like artillery fire and gunshots, and see a bit of them. Then I noticed everyone was slowly walking toward the front, and I joined them. It was, I dunno, surrealistic...like moths drawn toward a flame or poeple entranced by a spectcle or put under an enchantment, we slowly proceeded forth. I had a premonition something bad was going to happen, as this tableaux was way too strange. Then, GET BACK TO YOUR POSITIONS THE MINISTERS ARE COMING! and everyone sprinted back at the shout of the in-charge, breaking the spell.


We left earlier than last night, which was a relief. I was lazy and put MJC on my volunteer feedback form. =X I hope they send the letter or recommendation to my sch ok. We ate Subway, which wasn't too bad actually...I love the cookies. Sat, there talked, then went home. Oh, and I discovered Diana is a PJ(Pioneer JC lol) bowler! And she was a reserve at last year's A div. So we may have seen each other before, only we never knew each other! How cool is that? =D And she is an even worse carnivore than me =P Maybe will meet her again at this year's comp.


Hmm, I think nothing else, then pics. My hair is screwed in some of them =.= but it was a uber long hot day. I couldn't wait to get home and bathe. Going to rush work like Mad tomorrow...tuition and sch work. Ugh. Hopefully I can make it. These two days were packed. At least its over now...

After

Looks like Zombie Veggies to me.

First I stared at this.

Then this.

Random.





Suddenly the Koream band started playing behind me. The bottle marks where I was standing. They good, but they're LOUD.










This pic is obviously for the girls out there. Lol. Candice and Diana were half swooning over them already and Candice got short changed by this performer who took this pic of us and the legs of the guys. Hahahaha...





The NUS train is SO damn cool! It actually can open up (motorised) and there a prince and princess inside and it has Da Vinci style wings that open up and flap.






Random


Their costumes remind me of potato chips.



The guy in red on the right is REMY ONG. =[ And the pic is blur. =.=



Random again.



Lol this hand is uber cute. I can't imagine how they resist the temptation of giving the one finger salute LOL. It's just one string pull away...





Random.



Post parade party. Say that three times quickly. =]


I apologise for the low quality of my pics. Technically we cannot take pics on duty. So I took pics before duty. =] Then ass thing started, we all got high, and forgot what we were doing, one thing led to another, and maybe we did stuff we would regret later. I'm sorry for taking these pictures. =[ So so sorry. Sob. Ciao! I'm off to bed! =]


I regret to announce I have abandoned Fury in favour of this small gadget that allows a mini-summary of what I've been doing. If I don't use it often...I may readopt Fury again. =]
