Won't be blogging for the next few days.

I will be going to Pulau Tioman tonight and will not be blogging. However, I hope to deliver a good post and many pictures after I come back. I have many friends, who all nearly said the same thing. "Come back in one piece." And one said "TRY to come back in one piece." Notice that I put the word try in capital letters. What do you mean TRY? I ain't sure if that was suppose to be sarcasm or what.

But nonetheless, I have some well-wishers who wished me all the best.


May God bless me to have a safe and sound journey.

Resemblance.

Ever since my brother came to North Vista, many people (especially from Choir) walked up to him and asked if he was my brother. Teachers, such as Mrs Nashita, Mrs Amy Ang, Mr Malvin Lim, and Mrs Tan even asked. Almost everyone said we both bear a sharp resemblance, only that I was bigger and he was smaller. Some said I was cute and he was handsome.


I compared myself with him. And personally, I DO NOT THINK that he really resembles me. Just in case if you haven't seen his picture, here's one:





Visualise people! Do you really think he resembles me?

Final pool session.

No, we're not talking about pool, the one that is similar to Billard. But rather, swimming pool. Lame? Uh yes.

For the past 2 days, I've been having swimming pool sessions with other ODAC members. And gosh, I tell you, I was suntanned unevenly.



On Saturday.

We had our first pool session. We took a school bus to East Coast Park to go to a resort nearby. And everyone were pretty bored over the long journey.




Nothing to do..



And boredom was finally over when we reached the resort! We met up with the instructors and gave a briefing. After that, the instructors taught us how to put those scuba equipment. Everyone was getting excited. And everyone started wearing their wetsuits. I started wearing mine, XL, and I was extremely conscious of how I looked like because it seemed tight-fit. I wore it with no problems and started asking how do I look like.

And I have sicko friends who said "Wow, you look sexy!"

And I have Mr William Goh who said "Zhao Lun, you look cute!"


I wasn't interested in looks but my body! And I asked around again, and they said "You look okay in this. I then sighed a huge relief, thankful that my bulging stomach wasn't protruding out of the wetsuit.


Okay okay, I know you guys must be dying of how I look like right?


Here it is!






Haha, I think I look cool and muscular in this wetsuit. *Smirks*



Okay, enough of my crap.


And we proceeded to the pool with our equipments worn.





The pool that we were in.




We headed straight into the deep pool and its depth was 2.4m. At first, with the equipment, I was feeling weird and extremely heavy, with the air tank behind my tank. After I went to the pool, I felt alot better. But it wasn't staying long. Right after I put my regulator in my mouth for air, I panicked. I was feeling very bad and extremely tense. And my breathing wasn't normal. It was fast. The instructors kept asking me if I was okay. I just gave an okay sign. Luckily, I managed to pass the lessons underwater. Signs were important underwater. After a while, I got used to it and so were the others.


But Sin Wee got a nasty and bad experience. As far as my memory can tell me, Sin Wee was under the water when she had water or something in her mouth. In order to remove the water from her mouth, she decided to take the regulator out of her mouth and spit it out again, and put it (the regulator) back to her mouth. But no, it wasn't working. To make matters worse, her mouth was again filled with water. And she couldn't breathe, and started struggling. She kept struggling and struggling deep in the water, and until an instructor found out, he immediately took off his Buoyancy Compensator Device (BCD) and went to save Sin Wee. Fortunately, she was okay. What a bad scare!


On Sunday.


Today, we went to the same place again to scuba dive. I was already getting used to the equipments and was enjoying myself.


Everything went okay, with some lessons that we had to repeat under the water.


However, there was this emergency exercise that distressed me. All of us were underwater, and this particular lesson, was well, cut off the air supply from the air tank. One by one, the oxygen supply was cut off, and though we were out of air, we had to take off our weight belts and give it to the instructor. And we kicked the fins and rise up to the surface to breathe and inflate our BCD. It was abit frightening because you will pay alot of attention to your breathing.


Speaking of weight belts, I had to wear 6 weights under the weight belt, because my buoyancy was abit high, while others wear 3-4. This means that they could sink easier than me.


After that, we had to practice to get a netural buoyancy. And we swam around the pool to practice.

I also have to mention that I was extremely envious of Sin Wee and Han Wen. They were together, and they helped each other during the diving sessions, which makes me longing to have girlfriend. Bah, I knew I was dreaming.


Finally, the session ended with a lesson teaching us how to jump from the boat into the open sea when we go to Pahang, Malaysia.



That's all for the pool sessions, and I'm sure all of us look forward to next Friday's Pulau Tioman trip!

What a busy week!

I've been very very busy these days. My schedules are so tight. I've been staying back almost everyday.

For this week:
Monday-- Personal Remedial + Choir Sectionals.
Tuesday-- History Remedial.
Wednesday-- Nothing at the moment.
Thursday-- D&T Remedial.
Friday-- Weekly Chinese Test.


If this weren't enough, Mr Devan and Ms Tan are going to give us remedials too. It's so jam-packed. And I have so much homework to do! Sigh..



On a total irrelevant note, I've been told that during my absence of going to my grandmother's house for dinner, my aunts were making fun of me or something. My mom told them that I was going Scuba Diving in Mandarin. They were flabbergasted and questioned "Are you sure?" And my father, being a smart-aleck on that day, told them that I was going SNORKELLING instead of SCUBA DIVING. They then decided that I was going on snorkelling, thinking that I couldn't possible go scuba-diving. One of my aunt even smirked when she was told that I was going "Snorkelling."


What is wrong with these people? Why are they so surprised that I'm going Scuba-Diving.? Is it because I'm slightly overweight? Or is is other factors? I could remembered clearly that when I told one of my aunts that one of my ambitions were to be a marine diver, instead of encouraging me, she asked me this question. "Do you know how to swim?" And another relative of mine, when I told him my ambition, he said "You need to separate fact from reality."

What remarks!

And I guess I shall give one excerpt that I read from the Diving Manual to comment on this.


"The world is made up of 70% water, and you have a license to explore it."



Guess what am I trying to say?

Campus Superstar!

I was invited by Jia Yi to join her for today's Campus Superstar survival round. How nice of her, but I had to accompany her to Shenton Way to get the tickets because she received a SMS that she won 2 tickets.


So today, we took Bus 165 from Hougang Bus Interchange to Mediacorp which took around 4o-50 minutes.



MediaCorp. (Taken after the show.)


When we reached there in late evening, we went to the building, where we saw lots of hired cabs coming to Cadlecott to watch Campus Superstar, mostly students.







Wow so many people!


There so many students crowding the area, but we spotted somebody.


Guess who?




FELICIA!!!


Not only her, but we saw Heng Wai, Yu Wei and the others, and were even surprised to see Pei Ting!!!


Jia Yi and me went into the waiting room first because they have not received their tickets from their friend and were waiting for that guy.



We went to the waiting room, and were greeted with this sight.








It was so crowded and so stuffy and people were crammed and we tried to squeeze ourselves in.



After they opened the gates, people cut queues and join their fellow schoolmates. Luckily, we were among the first to get in and we managed to find a seat.




Students trying to find a seat in the studio.





And this is the stage which is surprisingly small!


Also, the front seats of the studios had to be occupied by the fans of the 12 Campus Superstar contestants; only fans who wore school uniform only. And I tell you, the arrangement for them was simply pathetic. There were lots of mixed-up of where to seat etc. Jia Yi and me secured 2 seats but later on, we suddenly found ourselves as Geraldine's fans, though I supported Sheena only.


Just in case you doesn't know who Geraldine is, here's a picture:






I chat up with a female fan of Geraldine, and she was so excited about Geraldine.



Finally, when 8pm strikes, the live show begins, and ALL OF US BEGAN SCREAMING AND SHOUTING, with our eardrums blasted with full volume of high and piercing soprano voices. But it's for the show right?




JunYang, Sugianto and Zhen Rong (not in picture) as Campus Superstar hosts. (Pardon me for the poor quality and the right man who was accidentally captured.)



And it was time for the contestants to come up!






The 6 female contestants.





The 6 male contestants.



And they sang and sang as one man show, and I was extremely excited about Sheena. Most of them sang very well, and throughout the whole show, including breaks, my ears were not spared from the screaming of the fans. And I tell you, Adriano had a very huge fan base. When he sang 'Will you marry me?' many of the fans replied 'I do.' Samuel sang Lian Ai ING and brought the whole stuido into the mood, and most of us sang along with him. The others did reasonably well too.



Anyway, here are some cool shots:








Sheena singing.





Geraldine singing.






Sugianto hosting the show live in front of the camera.


And by the way, we didn't stayed back to look at the results.

That's all for now!



I'm watching the results from TV now and Sheena is eliminated. So sad, but I'm also happy for Geraldine.

First lesson for Scuba Diving.

It's official. I'm in for Scuba Diving. I was flabbergasted when I saw I had more than a whopping $1000 in my Edusave account. We went to SAF Yacht Club and learned some theory lesson. We learned how to dismantle the scuba equipment and vice versa. The speaker had a great sense of humour, and made us laugh all the way through. I learned new things like Buoyancy Compensator Device (BCD) and things like inflation tube and other stuff. And I finally knows that the tank that a diver carries is not an oxygen tank, but rather an air tank or cylinder. The lesson was great, and so are the instructors. I look forward to the upcoming Saturday and Sunday's pool lesson, before we go to Pulau Tioman on 3rd of March!

Happy Valentines.

Geez, it's Valentine's Day. And I'm spending it alone. When I wished people Happy Valentines Day, there's this sort of bitterness inside me that I couldn't spend it with my girlfriend. I didn't had this bitterness inside me for the past few years, and I cannot explain why this year's Valentines Day was so significant to me. In order to console myself, I've decided to post about, well, my ideal girlfriend!


I love girls who have nice and lustrous hair, and they should be gentle. Most importantly, they must have a gracious smile.


I shall give 3 examples.



Sheena from Campus Superstar.





Selina from S.H.E.





Charlene from Twins.




These are girls whom fit my description for an ideal girlfriend. Anyway, though I'm spending Valentines Day alone, I guess I should be contented with the mega S.H.E poster that's pasted to my wall!



Also, Happy Birthday Koon Xian!

Some news.

Now for some good news.


I'm going scuba-diving! I'm going to learn how to scuba-dive and be a step closer to my dreams of being part of the Underwater World. I'm so excited! It costs around $400+ and hopefully it will be subsidised. I will be going with a group of a CCA called Outdoor Activities Club (ODAC). It is the only CCA that provides such activities, and though I'm not part of the CCA, Ms Audrey Tan and my fellow friends kindly invited me to join them, although I'm pretty aware that some of the members there may think I am an "extra". So I'm going to be ignorant, as the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Anyway, the course will start a few weeks time. I will bring my camera along and post some pictures! Geez, I can't wait!


Also, my couple krib, bore me some cute little babies! I was looking at the tank and was shocked to find the babies! Since the cichlids are mouthbrooders and according to my research, they wouldn't eat the babies and will take care of them and search for food, my mind is at ease. What good news!


The Choir will be performing for the school this Saturday for the Homecoming concert. I doubt we will put a good performance because of our extremely tight schedule and because of the hall. Choir cannot be heard in the hall as the slide doors are wide open and not designed to suit the performing arts I guess. But we will try our best.


This news is probably going to be ridiculous to you.


The performing arts are going to perform in the Golden Jubilee Concert a few months later. And guess what? We have to buy the seat tickets. Imagine the surprise I felt when I heard Ms Quek said the performers have to buy the seat tickets even though we are performing. The seat tickets costs $17 each and paid by Edusave.

But isn't it LUDICROUS?! I'm a performer in the concert, and yet I have to buy the concert tickets and will performing. Wow, does that mean that if Stefanie Sun stages a concert here, she will have to pay for one concert ticket?


Now for some questions that may shot back at me:


You can purchase the ticket and ask one of your relative to go.

Save not, being a chorister for 4 years, I've never ever asked my relatives to go to concerts or school events that I performed, let alone the Jubilee Concert. Since that's the case, isn't it a waste of money?


You should support the school by buying the tickets and the school is celebrating its 50th Anniversary.

Wait a minute. I'm already supporting by performing for the audience. Why should I buy a ticket which I cannot see and watch the performing arts perform?




On this point of time, I cannot think of any questions.


But for this controversial issue, I can say that it's unjustified and unfair.

Chinese New Year Celebrations

This year's Chinese New Year Celebrations isn't as nice as the previous years. I couldn't feel the enthusiasm.


Anyway, during Chinese New Year Eve, we had reunion dinner! The mood was pretty good, and the spreadings were wonderful.





The sumptuous steamboat reunion dinner.







Let the dinner begin!


With our ravenous appetite, we ate and ate... until I forget to take more pictures.


And after that, we had the Lo Hei.



And we toss and turn.. toss and turn..






Toss until it spilt out..



And we kept saying the auspicious greetings that you can think of.


Cool! I don't really like the taste, but for the sake of Chinese New Year, I ate it.. Yucks!


And over the next few days, I went to relatives' houses and collected lots of angbaos, which my money accumulated to around $300. Too bad I couldn't touch the money, and have to put it inside my bank.


We took alot of pictures.. But I show you some:




Cousin Eunice and me.




Cousin Shermaine and me.


and last but not least,





Chihwahwa WingWing and me. (First time pose with a dog)



Hehe, I would like to wish everyone all the best in their studies, career, and everything!



Happy Chinese New Year! PUNKS!

Last day of school before Chinese New Year.

It was the last day of school before Chinese New Year. And being a chorister, I had to perform for the school audience. We sang He Xing Nian and Kuo Le Yi Ge Da Fei Nian. I must say it wasn't a very nice performance, and tried to project our voices but couldn't. And the audience were dead, with little or no expressions at all.


Anyway after that, I went to KBox with Jia Yi, Xi Boon and Jerry. And I must say that I have the worst experience ever. I was so pissed off. I paid $11 for 3 hours in KBox, and I sang a ridiculous amount of 2 songs!!! The girls kept on singing and singing, and they didn't spare a thought for me. And Jia Yi kept ordering me to tune in the microphone volume and other stuff. After they sang so many songs, I can FINALLY sing one song. While I was singing halfway, GOH JIA YI rudely CANCELLED IT and said "The time is going to be over soon."


Do you know how pissed off I was? They could sing full songs and yet I couldn't.


I will not go to KBox with them ever again.

Will be busy.

I've been busy for this week as there are tests and remedials. I'm also involved in the Chinese New Year Concert. So I wouldn't be blogging often.


Anyway, I've notice something about teachers. In order to make you study hard and be very afraid, they tell about how scary exams is. Last year, when I was taking my 'N' levels, teachers kept emphasising on the importance of 'N' levels saying we cannot slack or we will fail it. And now I've passed, teachers again, tell us the importance of 'O' levels. A friend of mine, Kelvin Yap, went to Innova Junior College for the first 3 months. His teacher told him "You can slack and do last minute work at 'O' levels, but you cannot do the same for 'A' levels or you will fail." Every graduating class, teachers kept saying the same old thing, hoping that we can study harder etc. So now you know.


The other thing I would like to mention is about discriminating of obese people. I myself is overweight, and people discriminate us. Just like you condemn racism and sexism, you should condemn discrimination of overweight people. I was very unhappy during today's P.E lesson. Girls were choosing the guys to partner them, and I realise that in the end, 5 boys weren't chosen (including me). 3 of them were overweight, while the other 2 were skinny. I was extremely pissed off. And to make matters worse, when we were playing a modified ball game of Softball, I was standing at the field with a friend of mine like a motionless scarecrow, while others got a chance to throw or hit the ball.


By leaving obese people out until there weren't enough people to play, you are saying that obese people are unimportant, useless, and a liability to sports. By doing that, you're destroying the confidence of these people and made their self-esteem feel low.


I've been tolerating people for a long time, not just this incident. When we play a match of basketball, I was usually among the last to be chosen. If I were to be chosen, fit people will not pass the ball to me anyway.



If you are one of those kind who I mentioned, you better start thinking about your actions, or you're just an insensitive idiot.

I'm back!

It's been weeks since I've blogged. Apparently, due to my family problems, I was unable to use the computer. I express my sincere apologies for not giving a notice, and those who kept visiting daily hoping that I would blog.


Now that my family problems had settled down, I can blog once again!


I know that my previous posts had sparked comments, and I must say that I would like to thank those who supported me all these while, especially Angie. Jenna said I shouldn't questioned God like that, but sometimes, in desperate times to be exact, you can't help but think of such a question when you knew that God is the ultimate ruler of the Universe; a saviour.


I've just visited the statistics of my blog, and realised that people still visit daily. I would like to thank those who visited, and I won't name names just in case they want to remain anonymous.



What was I doing for the past few weeks? Well, I attended S.H.E's signing cum singing session, and I was obsessed with the trio, especially Selina, when she looked at me with her brown hazel eyes and smiled at me. My heart melted like an ice-cream being put in an oven. I'm also adjusting to the new syllabus of my subjects as well.



I will blog again soon, and meanwhile, rock on!

Family problems.

I've encountered family problems, mainly financial. Those who think that I'm rich, I'm not, and I can say that it isn't always what it seems when you're with me.


Just now, my mom cried while talking to my father. She had already bottled up her feelings and could take it no more. All I can do was to ask her to stop crying. But it didn't work. While she was crying, my grandmother called, and she could sense her daughter was crying and told my uncles and my grandfather. my mom was so distraught that she put down the phone, and suddenly, my grandfather, my eldest uncle, my 2nd uncle called and asked what happened. My mom told them what happened, and my grandmother was crying.


I'm extremely saddened, and I can't help but think: "What was God doing?" It may be selfish and unreasonable but I just couldn't help it. I'm not an atheist, but I sometimes wonder why wasn't God help us when we needs him? Sigh...

New Year, new resolutions.

It's New Year, with lots of challenges and uncertainty that faces us.


Welcome to the Year 2006, 6 years after the millenium. But before 2006, let us recap about some events that happened during 2005.


Infamous National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Saga

The NKF Saga all started because of a golden tap. And it leaded to suing between T.T Durai and Singapore Press Holdings. After that, Durai dropped the case, and later quit as CEO of NKF. At late months of 2005, there were startling facts about the old management of NKF. If my mind serves me right, only 10% of the funds went to the patients. NKF exaggerated its patients under its care. There were alot of truth being said, and I won't say it here as I guess Singaporeans should know, except foreigners who read my blog.



Eddie Guerrero and George Bests' deaths

I won't say much here, but for those who doesn't know them:

Eddie Guerrero is a professional wrestler, and once won the prestigious WWE Champion.


George Best is a famous football Manchester United Legend, who's known for womanising.


'N' Level Results

Based on my school's information, 17 people failed among the 75 Normal Academic (NA) students who took the national exam. The atmosphere was sad, and crying could be heard during the hall when we took our results slip.



My message...

Based on the fact that almost 2 billion people (That's half the human population) lives off less than $2 everyday, I hope everyone will know how to treasure their possessions and family. No matter what, there will always be people who will be poorer than us. We must understand this. In Singapore, we are lucky to have a good geographical location, which fends off earthquakes and other natural disasters. Other foreigners who read my blogs, you guys are also lucky too.


This paragraph is dedicated to my friends. To those who failed 'N' levels, I know that we are going by different paths. I once watched a movie which says that friends come and go. However, you will remember the friend forever and he/she will always have a place in your heart. I know that we will meet sooner or later when we graduate or during adulthood. And to those who passed 'N' levels, my congratulations to you, and I'm glad to say that we will have to prepare for the biggest battle of our teenage life. We need to be armoured with knowledge, attitude, and mentality to do well in the 'O' levels. Let us strive and do our best, without any regrets.



Last but not least, I wish everyone bountiful happiness everyday and hope for world peace.



Goodbye 2005, hello 2006!

Last day and the gathering with Avida Logistics.

Avida Logistics is the company that I worked for. I enjoyed having great colleauges and company with them. And I thank them for that. They are generous and exceptionally kind people with a good sense of humour. Yesterday, we had a gathering for Avida Logistics. We celebrated at..



Pariss Restaurant.


They were kind enough to treat my brother and me. And we begin eating and eating. And we kept talking and laughing, I forget to take pictures.


But here's one.






There were an incredibly wide amount of food, from prawns, abalones, shark's fin to crocodiles, crayfish and other seafood. There was even a chocolate fountain where you can dip marshmallows into the fountain. Food were superb.


This is the first time I went to such a sumptuous buffet with lots of choices.




Food! Food!



Geez, I'm so hungry now..


And we had lots of laughter and fun.



As for today, it was the last day for me and my brother..


A message to Avida Logistics: My brother and I would like to thank everyone who took good care of us. You all are very nice people. We thank you for your generosity and magnaminity. We hope to see you again soon, and hope we will and keep in touch!



Here are the pictures that we took: (Angie excluded, because she doesn't take photos)





Frankie and me.





Simon and me.




Alvin and me.




Uncle Zi Wei and me, who's also my relative and boss.




Me, Wong and Kelvin.


Speaking of Wong, if you meets him in person, I bet you will say he looks like Batista. He really resembles him.







And this is the picture you want, Angie! It's abit blur..




I end this post by wishing Avida Logistics all the best. Good luck guys!

It's Christmas!

Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! It's a wonderful holiday with some gaieties!


It's a great day.


In the afternoon, my aunt was treating us to a dim sum restaurant at Tampines. The price was exorbitant, but the food was pretty good.



And in the night, I was attending Azli's wedding dinner. Who's Azli? Well, he's a colleague at my company and I've known him for around 2 weeks. And he invited my brother and me for his wedding dinner! Cool right? Azli married a chinese bride, which I felt it was awesome. For this is the first time I went to such a wedding dinner! And the venue was held at The Neptune, which was coincidentally the very same place where my parents held their wedding dinner!
And I really respect him. He said that the most important thing in the world is to respect one's parents. Whenever he goes into a relationship, he always told his girlfriend that if she wants to think far, his mother must move in with them if they were to get married and bought a new house. Actually, he wanted a simple wedding. But his late father wanted an extravagant wedding, so Azli decided to fulfil his wish.




Anyway, I met my colleague at my block.




A colleague called Alvin gave us a ride to the venue.


And we finally reached there!




Pretty huge!



The dinner started at 9pm.



Welcoming the bride glamourously on the red carpet.








Guests enjoying the show.




Whoa!



We were served with tasty food. With my not-so-ravenous appetite, I ate only a little, but drank lots of coke.


After a short while..




Friends and families were invited to go on stage for the Chinese traditional wedding YAM-SENG.


Unfortunately, the lively atmosphere wasn't there, probably because the Malays weren't used to such things like YAM-SENG.



After that, we were entertained with dancing shows. The caucasians wore nice costumes. And the babes wore shimmering silver and glamourous gold sparkling lingerie. I was absolutely dazzled, forgetting to eat the chicken that was placed on my table. Wow!



After the show, the wedding dinner was over.




For Christmas, I received a Christmas Card by snail mail from Xiaomin, and my aunt gave me SK II Facial Treatment Cleanser. Wait! Before you think that was for females only, it's NOT! My aunt gave me a sample and told me that her friend used it and found it effective for her pimples. So I used it, and it was working fine, and so she bought for me. As for my brother, she bought him a Nokia 3230 while trading my brother's Nokia 6230 for it.



And, I received a surprise for Christmas as well! This caucasian messaged me in Friendster, saying that I was hot. Gosh! I didn't realise that not only people told me I was cute and handsome, I was also hot! I didn't know I attract girls from the West.

While I gloats in self-satisfaction, I must say that the girl is pretty above-average looking. I've provided a screenshot, just in case you doesn't believe me. And the link there, it shows her pictures from her webcam.







Before I end this note, Merry Christmas to everyone!


Gosh, it's Christmas and I'm loving it!

'N' level results revealed.

I woke up early today because I couldn't sleep. Too anxious. I met up with some of my friends for lunch before taking our results slip.


Before taking my results, I had seen some girls crying when they took their result slips. This made me feel even worried. My face was pale and my legs were wobbly.


And I walked up to my form and co-form teachers. And they gave me back my result slip.


The first thing that comes to your mind is: How's your result?




Well, here it is.



I achieved 4 A2, 1 B3, and 2 B4.



My mood was mixed. I was both exhilarated and sad.


I'm sad that I didn't get A1 for English, though Mr Malvin Lim told me that only 3 of the students got A2 and no one got A1. I worked and focus hard for my English but I still got A2.


Exhilarated! Why? My MATHEMATICS GOT A B4!


Its:



B4!




Fine, maybe to some, B4 is lousy grade or whatsoever. But for my case, I worked so hard for my Maths, my good friends taught me and Mrs Yap too. I'm so proud of myself. But I constantly remind myself that complacency is not an option.


Still, I would like to thank my friends who taught me Maths especially

JUSTIN WONG ZI CAI
CHAN LONG WEN


and these two teachers


MR MALVIN LIM CHEONG BENG
MRS YAP EE CHING



Teachers and friends who had high expectations of me, I'm glad I didn't let you down.



Also, those who wished me luck and greetings, thanks a million!



I finally knows my strengths are languages and humanities. I will 'polish' them well.


As for other subjects, like Maths, Science and D&T, believe me teachers, I WON'T LET YOU DOWN!



Lastly, congratulations to those who passed. As for those who failed, try again, and you will make it. Each of us possesses different fates and our paths are sometimes rocky. Every obstacle can be overcome. With that, I wish you all the best for your future endeavours, and I believe we will meet sooner or later. Good luck, buddies.



Peace, don.

It's a stressful weekend.

I'm going to meet my fate 2 days later. If my mind serves me right, the release of the 'N' level results is at 2pm.



It's really a stressful weekend. I'm extremely anxious about my results. Whether I will pass and proceed to Secondary 5, or fail my exams and repeat, or go straight to the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). A few days ago, I've received a letter from The Navy, asking me to join them. I blatantly refused, because I don't even know my results yet, and I doesn't want to go National Service (NS) yet. I also received a letter, stating that I did well for my studies and I received $150 voucher. Ah, what a nice feeling.


I will blog on Monday; when my results are released. No matter what the outcome is, I will accept it and will not have any regrets because I did my best. I believe those who feel scared are those who regret not studying well. Those who are feeling confident, I wish you well.


I shall recap my goals for the 'N' levels.


English----- A1
Chinese---- A2
Geography---- A2
Elementary Maths---- C5
Combined Humanities---- A2
Combined Science---- B3
Design and Technology---- A2


I really hope I can achieve these targets. With that, I wish everyone who are taking their 'N' level results well. Good luck everyone.

Exactly one week to 'N' level results.

It's exactly one week to the 'N' level results. And I'm extremely anxious. As doomsday comes nearer, I get butterflies in my stomach. That's why I try to indulge myself in work as much as possible.


No confidence? Not really, but as results are being moderated, and it's a national exam, you can't help but feel worried.



Oh well..

Stepping into the working world.

I've not been blogging for quite some time. The reason? I'm working. I've said to my friends before that I do not intend to work during the holidays. However, I had family and financial problems. Under such circumstances, I'm forced to work.


Some friends of mine are working too; Liang Zhi working as a banquet waiter, Joel working in Suntec, Guan Jie working in a factory at Kovan, etc.


For me, I'm working for my relative. The company deals with recording companies Sony BMG Music and Warner Music.

In the early morning, I do paperwork.
In the late morning, I begin packing albums from order lists to the drivers. And they will transport them to music stores like Sembawang Music, HMV Singapore etc.
In the afternoon, I will dismantle and opens up the shipment that arrives. By the end of the day, I will be dead tired because the tedious work.

That's all I can reveal. The others will remain confidential. If I let the cat out of the bag, I can land my company into hot water.


I will try and update my blog whenever I can. Peace out.
