    Bewildered confusion

    you know the feeling of not wanting something but actually really wanting something.
     
    you want to be left alone but don't want to be left alone !?
     
    i want a break but i don't want a break. all for different reasons !
     
    and
     
    Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty; he had looked at her without admiration at the ball; and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticise. But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she hardly had a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing; and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness. Of this she was perfectly unaware; to her he was only the man who made himself agreeable nowhere, and who had not thought her handsome enough to dance with.
     
    The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
     
    so now  i
     
    Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.
     
    and i wish this
     
    What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.
     
    but those are only dreams of fantasies.
     
    i am just curious.
     
    do you ever feel like if you don't so something, no one else will. or no one else will do it properly. and just for the sake of everyone. even if you don't want to, you have to do it. even if you don't feel like. and if you do it wrongly. do you deserved to get blamed?! and if you don't do anything. do you deserved to get blamed ?! sometimes life just needs to be nicer. just once. a little more pleasant and easy.
     
    looking forward to rag ! and stunting ! more of stunting hahaha and seaweeding. so cheers to that.

    NUS Medicine Interview 1 & 2 2008

    These were my interview questions and how i answered them hahaaha some were really really bad though.
    Thought it would be useful for people who would be applying next year ! or in the future. i benefited from one such blog ! hahaah enjoy! i made some sarcastic remarks i was a little angry after the second interview because i felt so misunderstoodand i did not really clear the air that well.
    JUST REMEMBER REMAIN CALM AND SMILE. THAT GOT ME my spot (=
     

    1st Round [3 interviewers]

                                   

    You come from a very close knit family. Do you find yourself very sheltered from the harsh realities of life?

     

     

    Samuel. Do you really want to study medicine? And become a doctor?

     

     

    What do you think are the concerns of Singaporeans now?

     

    You mentioned right – sitting. Why do you think right sitting is not taking place?

     

    You mentioned AMD. So what’s the difference between AMD and euthanasia?

     

    What are your views on euthanasia?

     

    What do you want to specialize in? Why?

     

    Do you really want to study medicine and become a doctor? [question asked again]

     

     

    I forgot what they asked me but I ended up talking about a doctor called dr alex chao who passed away during the sars period. I said how he sang to his patients in icu, [what I want to do!] and how he was still so family oriented even when he was going to die [he drove pass his house to wave to his daughters for the very last time before he went to the hospital and was warded in the sars ward]

     

    Tell us what your second choice is. Why bioengineering?

     

       

    Do you think that with the declining birth rates in Singapore … obstetricians … necessary …?

     

     

    As we can see, you have many experiences as a … SCOUT … [ I thought they would ask about council ..]. so tell us when leading during scouts, what were certain qualities you needed to have and how you developed and changed ?

     

     

    Do you think that as a doctor, you are more of a follower or a leader ?

     

    What do you know of hand foot and mouth disease. Tell us more. How is the government attempting to control it ?

     

     

    That would be all.

    Thank you.

    soliloquized

     

    [the guy who interviewed me who helped opened and close the door then whispered to me “good good” just before I left] that made my day. I needed it especially after the 2nd interview I was going to be put through.

     

    2nd Round [the horror for me]

     

     

    You have been said to be sheltered from the harsh realities of life. And not be worldly wise and street smart. Do you agree?

    I answered really badly. Cos I was a little bit intimidated and appalled they are focusing on such a thing argh. Talked about how I don’t get everything in life. They cut me and asked ..

     

    Define Street smart.

    [I tot I was applying for med, not English course in FASS]

    Er … means you don’t get used by people.

     

    So do you get used ?

    I tend to try to help people and I smile all the time so perhaps I am approachable enough to be used. But I learn to draw my limits and I know when I am being used.

     

    You gotta speak up, I am partially deaf?

    [your partially bald too, oh but I am sure you know that ostensibly]

    Sorry to hear.

     

    How do you handle stress?

    Well I bring my friend to a secluded corner of the school and we talk about what depresses or stresses us?

     

    Hmm this friend you’re referring to is he a he or she a she cause you mentioned secluded corner. …. Sounds quite like a … rendezvous!

    Hahahah no my friends are guys but we do like privacy doing decent stuff like talking.

    Also I dance it off, I love to sing.

    I play vball with my friends

     

    Give us specific examples.

     

    We are not convinced. That you will be able to handle the failures as a doctor.

    [are you ever convinced ? I learnt that they are not]

     

    Tell me two events within the past 5 years that have been the most fulfilling?

     

    On a scaled of 0 to 10. 0 being extrovert and 10 being introvert. Tell me where you lie.

    I said 7 on extrovert. But I like to think through my actions first. So I spend time day dreaming etc.

     

     Wait I am confused. You like to think over things yet you say you are extroverted and like to get things done ?!

    [you of all people should know that life has no black or white but rather shades of grey …]

     

    You must understand that we are not concerned about your ability to handle academic vigour. But rather many houseman quit within 1 year or MOs leave and we need to have that assurance from you that you are prepared for the job ! tell us how ?

    [I will not leave ? I will sleep in the lt from now on or hospital thereafter]

    I only can say that I have gone for hospital attachments. I know the life of doctors. I know of some of the sacrifices I would have to make, but I too know that I can see my self enjoying this career in the future. I will find fun in monotony and that is why I will not quit in the face of adversity. I believe that as a doctor I have a responsibility and I will not shirk my respon. [poor answer but I really ran of of ways to subst.]

     

    Tell us what is your second choice. Why bioengineering ?

    [same reason as first interview]

     

    What is your third choice. Which faculty is that … [they gave a rather revolted constipated condescending look on their faces, I chose projects and facilities management]

    [I thought you were suppose to be more caring and sentient and less sarcastic when you’re a doctor] and not so snoobish and proud.

     

    Do you think you are credited for this slot in this university ?

    [oh you ..$^@#.., well if I wasn’t you wouldn’t have invited me here today now would you. And honestly does it really matter what I think ? it is you guys that are putting me through or not]

    Yes I do. [that is all I said I was a little stunned]

     

    What do you know about the NUS programme ?

    Yes I know in the first year they study anatomy, histology, bioc. … [I was cut short]

     

    Yes I know what we study. Thank you. You do not need to tell me. [and you just had to ask]

     

     Yes you mention about problem based learning. What do you think of it ?

    You need to dedicate a lot of time to truly benefit from the prog esp because I read somewhere that is usually given near the examination period.

     

    What do you want to specialize in?

    Obs-gyn

     

    HA! What?! Nothing here even indicates that you are remotely interested in become a gynae? Please tells us why ?

    Said the same reason as the first interview [now throughout my expl. They kept giving the cynical chuckle and the shaking of head in severe disapproval]

     

    So I am right to say you want to be a gynae because it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling or being able to help people, as opposed to lets say cancer and death ?

    [oh nono I want to be a doctor because it is the closest thing to seeing people die EVERYDAY of my career! And I want that horrible sad depressing side of life, living so helpless knowing that I can’t save all my patients. Wow that is definitely GOT to be the REASON !]

    No! but it is a perk of the job. I like the long term relationship with my patients. And there is nothing wrong with having that cheery feeling.

     

    So if I gave you the choice you would rather do gynae to lets say oncology and cancer ?

    [your giving me a choice right …. Duh]

    I would choice to do something that I enjoy and like and at the moment for now it is obs-gyn. There is nothing wrong, I feel, in being able to do what I want and like.

     

    Yes there is nothing wrong with that. Why don’t you do something that saves more lives like chronic diseases ?

    [so a doctor’s credentials are based on the number of lifes he saves. How about those who care for the terminally ill ? How about helping to bring new lifes into this world?]

     

    Would you mind being posted to oncology department ?

    [everybody would initially]

    I actually do find it quite close to my heart, taking into consideration that everyone that I know that is above 70 in my family is currently afflicted with it ! haha .. so yes I know what it is like to work in such conditions and I know of a doctor in a cancer centre that still took time off just 1 or 2 minutes to hold the hands of my grandma to reassure her that he will try ALL in his capacity that she recovers. It was inspiring.

     

    How can you help your grandmother that is stricken with cancer?

    [er I can be a loving and caring grandson] that I was my answer

     

     Define loving and caring ?

    [again I am at the medicine interview not a FASS English course interview]

    At the moment, er… [cos I thought it was a weird weird weird question] .. I try to be understand cos I sometimes get easily irritated by the good wills of my grandmother. So I try to understand that she means me well. She often gets very excited about me coming for this interview, but I learn to understand that the things she does, like cook fattening meals, ensure I look immaculate, got the right tie etc, is all for my good and I learn to appreciate that and tolerate what I normally find irritating. It is all about communication and love. [and they actually laughed and smiled genuinely here!]

     

    Will you do abortion ? why ?

     

    So if An 18 year old teenage girl comes to see you, will you perform abortion on her. The fact she had unprotected sex shows that she is immature in her decisions. Will you still go ahead with the surgery ?

     

    A 42 year old man that suffers from ED comes to you and asks for Viagra. So that he can have sex with his girlfriend and have a child but remain single and not intend to marry his girlfriend. Will you prescribe the drug to him ?

    [hey you want to meddle with people’s sex lifes too !]

     

    Tell us within 30 secs. Why you are different. What sets you apart. You are not allowed to use the following words in your statement: passion, integrity, dedicated, compassionate, hardworking, intelligent, and interested.

    [I think I rushed through forgetting to breathe. Cos at the end of it, I was breathless.] but i think they could sense my passion and genuinity ! (=

     

     

    Post interview passing questions [when I was standing up ready to leave]

     

    You were from hwa chong for 6 years. How is IP like?

    I think it was a good system. I got to do whatever I liked when I wanted to. Most of the time. And it allowed me time to do council activities!

    How did you find being an Indian in a Chinese community?

    I think actually it is really normal although sometimes you do get privileges. Unfair [in a good way] treatment. yup

     

     

    What is you ideal wife. What course would she have studied?

    I don’t think degree wise it is really important to me. But if I had to choose… er … I would have to say business.

    Why? So that she can help you earn money?

    Erm no I think she would be interesting and different. Vibrant and dynamic yet caring.

     

     

    What is your ideal car?

    Toyota because it has sentimental value. It was the first care my father bought.

    Can you tell us specifically which model?

    Haha I know nothing about cars sorry!

    [they gave me the “I knew it” look]

    Sigh.

     

    I felt like I was like harassed and flamed and set on fire. During this interview. But through it all I did one thing, I smiled like siao, very naturally not fakely and I think that is what ultimately saved me. I was at the end of the day, able to handle the pressure and stress of very unreasonable people. And I think that was the objective of the 2nd interview. At least for me it was.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Yup remember to read up alot and have your opinions. They can tell if you truly have the passion or not ! hahaha

     

    -The End-

    status:success (=

    praise be to god.

    and happy birthday sis !

    2 sides of a coin

    brown cloth shoes.
    were they always brown.
    weren't they once white
    aren't they still white
    beneath it all ?
     
    i was reflective. in state.
    it will all get better in time.
    i hate this. i was happy. i tot it was over.
    doesn't anything show? (=
     
    when all the clouds darken up the skyway
    i wish they was a rainbow highway to be found
    leading from my window pane.
    to a place behind the sun
    to a place beyond the rain.
     
    if happy little bluebird fly
    beyond the rainbow
    why oh why
    can't I
     
    life
    is just like the 2 sides of a coin
    one; for the world to see
    the other, hidden in the shadow.
    for the that one, your valued.
    yet it is both that determines your cents.
     
    round freak. be rectangular like a dollar. i mean 2 dollars.
    at least both sides are see through.
     
    tell the world
    tell the world
    simplicity is complicated
    very complicated indeed.

    I don't wanna fight no more.

    telll me.

    must you see to believe. hear to believe. feel to believe.

    if there is another layer, can you daresay that under that veil one hasn't cried, laughed, felt distraught, ire or sad ? despite the monotonous stare the masks gives. unchangingly. Ever constant yet burning with vibrancy from within.

    is there a tinge of fairness to reward and comfort those that have been fair, is there no solace in what I seek and what seeks me?

    hmm. naught apparently. painfully. harsh and real.

    (=

     

    i tried. to approach.

    as mildly. as unostensibly. as genuinely.

    leaves me depressed, crestfallen, embarrassed.

    extremely embarrassed. laugh you shall and so have i.

    for i know no other way to deal than to laugh with and at

    addressing in third person or an item is an insult. Derogatory.

    and if you join me, now, laugh, that would be, may be, what i was wishing for.

     

    and yet i am confused.

    is

    THAT?

    truly?meant?

    soliloquized. this too. like eveyrthing else. will pass.

    will it ? really. it is interesting how one lies to oneself everyday, is that a transgression. to lie to your self ?

    guilt.pangs.ridden.

    is this or is that why or this why or why not just. this time ? i do hope, for morality, it will end. for indulgence, not in the forseeable. but hopefully and saintly soon.

    sorry.

     

    i shouldn't let  run into my fist.

    this moment is perfect.

    please dont go away.

    hold on to it.

    don't let   pass you by.

     

    glad nevertheless. recovered. relatively fast.

    walls of steels.

    don't you for one moment think. i was and am. )=

    i'm troubled. that just what you do i guess.

    just like bethany.

     

    and i shall wait.

    for many things i shall wait.

    eager.

    longing.

    in earnest and fruitless hope

    anger

    happiness

    anxiety.

     

    but i shall wait.

    for time is definitely on my side.

    and that i know with conviction.

     

    and conviction is all one needs.

    yes !

    there is this space.
     
    there is a reason why there is space. between something you look forward FOR ... and something you want to GET.
    To get the thing i want to get or thing i look forward for [actually grammatically it is to but you get the idea], i must forget [nospace].
     
    there is this space
     
    It must remain empty. until 22nd november. i must forget i must forget. .. .... but somethings, yes not one, are difficult to ignore.
     
    heaven is nothing like a place on earth.

    记 得 那 个夜 晚

     

    牵 着 手 的 呼 唤

     

    舞 动 的 青 春

     

    是 我 们 在 歌 唱

     

    满 天 闪 烁 星 光

     

    熄 不 灭 的 希 望

     

    无 数 的 期 待

     

    在 此 刻 凝 了 梦 想

     

     

     

    多 少 次 迷 失 方 向

     

    总 有 你 在 我 的 身 旁

     

    陪 伴 我,走 过 最 难 忘 的 一 段

     

    无 数 的 欢 喜 悲 伤

     

    只 有 你 陪 着 我 分 享

     

    过 去 的 美 好 时 光

     

    我 只 能 回 头 望

    在 此 刻 都 凝 成 梦 想

     

    明 知 会 有 离 别 的 一 天

     

    却 从 来 不 曾 后 悔

     

    多 少 次 迷 失 方 向

     

    总 有 你 在 我 的 身 旁

    . sand

    generally very sad. haha i need a avenue to emo and let everything out. its ok cos nobody reads hehe.
     
    tears fell
     
    walking back home
    in the lift,
    outside my house
    inside my house
    when i am bathing,
     
    i wonder y. argh i can't stand it. i can't explain it. the sch felt so cold. not literally but you get wat i mean. i always feel sad in school when i am alone. but i felt so warm when i came home. then i realised how badly i treated my family members. how they truly loved me and i din reciprocate in any befitting way. i was a slut. and i was sad that i was trying too hard to find happiness when happiness was already there in my home. and i din appreciate it. i din appreciate my friends ): [i abused them haha k nvm]. i din appreciate those who loved me for who i was [sounds like chic flic show ahahah but its true ..]
     
    I stood outside the door of me house. the gate was open. and then the above struck me. [i'll always remember ... in places no one will find all your feeling so deep inside] dunno from where also. then it all poured out. (: it felt good but i had to hide my face all the way to toilet hahaha.
     
    my aunt, my grandma and my mum [buring calo on treadmill] were all asking how was my day. a question i always failed to respond. and i then i realised that if i was in their shoes, for so much they sacrificed for me, i showed no sense of gratitude. its like an investment that went totally skrewd. i must control my rudeness. i know i don't say it often and i noe you don read blogs but i love you guys but i just can't shown it properly. sigh
     
    at least i finally finished what i had set out to accomplish. but then again...
     
    i can't wait to prom. i tink its really the only thing left i look forward to anymore.
     
    i'm sick. i'm tired. that was no sense of accomplishment for wat i did thus far. i tink i spent too much time trying to proof myself, a selfish endeavour. i tried to hard to please others. i tried to hard in all the wrong things. but i must say i made many new great friends. and for that it would suffice as memories i would treasure for life. and it is times like these that i am grateful i have friends. i don't really share cos its kinda weird but [when your weary, feeling down ...] btw that bridge over troubled water. yay clay aiken rocks. its nice to have ppl who are genuinely interested to listen to listen to me. i want to tk u from the bottom of my broken heart. that's mariah carey !
     
    i don wanna fight no more. oh i forgotten what i was fighting for ....
     
    i can't smile anymore. but its a lie that i must live becos there is no point feeling sorry for yourself. so from this moment ahahah as long as i live ... i will love hmmm noone hahaha but ya yay a song. ok its 4:11 am.
     
    lastly, (: to you surprising reader :), your indeed a true friend to me yay ! hahaha [quote heng joo kuang]  * i kiss you. hahaha
     
    and just like .sand in the hourglass, these are merely the days of my life. it will come to past and somehow now i believe innately that my pri school moto still stays true (:. the best is yet to be :)
     
    but sometimes the best is already here to stay (:

    rest in peace. not for long. not for death. not for ever. but for tranquility.
     
    the past week was interesting. [does not reflect well on my vocabulary database]
     
    i think  i slept for [1+2+4+4+1] = 12 hrs last week hahahah for sch days. i am not including those 5 mins i doze off during chem and econs lect. although i tink the econs lecturer is damn good.
     
    the last week has been the most emotional week. which is a good thing. i felt happy. sad. angry. frustrated. tired. excited. nervous. embarrassed. stupid. bad. and for the first time.
     
    i know i dun think anyone read but would like to thank allison [not for coming really late] but for acceding to acting retarded and much more. thank claire, qin and kl for finding costumes and acting really cute hahah the audience loved ya. tks pam and joc for dressing up appropriately and very aptly. you guys were funny and evil hahah jk. tks tc, terence and dinghong for making all your parts funny and entertaining. dh for filming and takin of pants too (:. terence for underwear wearing and interesting indian head shaking. tc for funny and good acting with proper mouthing of words ahaha. it made me good easy. trust me (: lastly, most imptly, LL ! i tink wat impressed me the most was when she knew she most likely could not do much after her wisdom tooth extraction, becos of pain, she stayed up until 4;11 am to do mural design. and the design at first looked hard, but due to excellent chalking by everyone except me ... it was i quote "the best looking one hahaha" and we did not copy lets get it started. they filled in their figures.
     
    kudos to the comm for painting such a great banner. sorrie if my criticism were harsh on anyone's drawing or painting. just wanted it to look the best it can. also would like to thank the comm for doing the video and embarrassing yourselves (= hoped you had fun. and hope you remember the experience.
     
    i tink its time to start studying.
     
    i am happy not because eventually C1 liked it but rather becos my comm was proud of it evntually. just like how they were proud of the mural (: and to me that was the most satisfying thing of last week. and it made those slpness nights worth it (: and i hope we din send across the msg of ecaco being slutty hahaha mrs ang. its k we're cool still. (:
     
    as a wise man one said. to be or not to be. its up to you eventually. listen. hear learn and watch. for wat lies ahead is uncertainty.
    learn.

    ravi y so pessimistic. i tink i spelt that wrongly. hmm is there anything you actually believe in. actually there is (:
     
    love. it warm. only love i experience was motherly love, friendly love. that was good enough for me to grasp the true meaning behind that single noun, verb for some (:.
     
    it pains me sometimes to find love does not always find back its rightful owner. y is there one-sided love. its so sad. y. some say. life is unfair. cant there be exceptions ): even for once. one person. why can't people understand, maybe i do, that for love anyone would do anything to make a person happy. elated and jubilated.
     
    y is it so diff for ppl to get it. please please please think of those you cherish and who cherish you. think for one moment what they would be like with or without you. "without you, where would i belong, without you, how can i breath" open you eyes. see. what you ahve been ignoring. for the wind blows genuinity. the sun radiates warmth and love. the clouds blow away regret. the birds sing a lithy tune. so y dwell in ur forlorn state. listen, for a new day has come.
     
    for i am the bringer of good news. come seek the light. for love is still present. past grievances should be forgotten. come seek the light. come seek .. for i am waiting. here and foreva.
     
    alone and hungry. sad and repentant. i speak only the truth. for i am changed. believe me once more. (= for i have sinned. forgive me.
     
    as in not literally me but me as me and not you but me in me.
     
    i stay for the night, waiting to hear you voice, longing to see your face, wanting to see you actions, dreaming of your song. come back to me, and forgive everything. come what may.
     
    this is what i have to say.
     
    4 love is a many splendid things and all you need is love.
    even if you can only be heroes for 1 day.

    .Alt + F4

    Hello (:
     
    shuttdown. or to give up. or to simply take the easiest way out. whenever our com hangs. the first thing is to alt+ctrl+del then next is to desperately end tasks.
     
    it is such as apt analogy of life. how when we are trapped, stuck in a cervice, unable to see the light of day, struggling in the abyss of uncertainty and ceaseless torture, all we do is to alt       ctrl       del. simply forgeting about our worries, putting the aside, finding the easiest way to do so and seeing them seemingly disappear beyond the horizon. what a thought. serenity. at last.
     
    people have different wishes, to end problems, end life [the source of all problems] or to end other's life. assuming god gave you the power for either 1 of the 3. which would you choose. it would be interesting to find out, all humans would have in possession each their own deathnote, what a thought. satisfying. yet nerve-wrecking.
     
    nevertheless, death to many isn't painful. dying once is the only logical and scientific way of things. but what if you were given a chance at a second life. would you take it? some say life should be reversed. die first and slowly enjoy the fruits of your old age, obtain you peak in career, enjoy your sex life, suckle on milk, and finally disappear in to you mothers womb. oh what a thought. jubilation. and release.
     
    release from? definete slave. torture. stress. work. dedication. passion. labour. responsiblity. friendship. love.
     
    humans are born lazy. most remain. and unfair it may sound. most become successful on the backs of others. well. that is life. that is how the cookie crumble. "you added too little butter and water" some may say, "the cookie dough does not stick". it is not what little you add in that matters, but what you did not at all. pain.agony.anguish. the one who enjoy the wine, never is the one who tends to the grape vine. heard it on the grapevine. life is unfair.
     
    now ponder. are you those who truly deserve what you are now. have you bothered to help others. have you bothered to look beyond what is. have you been thankfully. have you or have not been who you could have should have been. were you the one that people looked up to or those that evreyone wants a piece of.period.unfortunately.period.for them. which are you? perfect i am not, i noe where i falter. do you ?
     
    :)
     
    change is impossible. trying to is.

    .F5 on life

    Hi,
     
    Some people say, time changes everyone. So one and a half years of stagnacy or domancy, rather, I am back. (: changed.
     
    ya rite. First check on life, people never change (: oh wait they do ! sorry ignore me, in case people from the yellow ribbon project come and kill me. so remember that people actually do change ! [but realise that in actual fact they dont] remember that fact = stands for what is true.
     
    Correct me if i am wrong, but yes ok fine some ppl do change, most of the time for the worst but sometimes and really really rarely they do so for the better. [This is the part where i am unable to quote examples, and oh dun blame me for failing gp essay cos i can't quote examples]. K back to people dun change. People are complex organisms. i won't say i understand how they function or think but its quite easy to vaguely do so. Do you think a person who hates you from K1 would like you 12 years later. i am not writing becos this example ok ... i am just exaggerating.
     
    Some say, oh how some say [fools], time heals all wounds [ignorant]. yes i agree if you don't talk, absense does make you merrier. but reappearance just for one day, just seeing and talking to that person once, may send uncalmable ripples true the surface or even the depth of calm waters. human emotions run deep, just like human character. you are what you are. so what is what you are ? what makes you special ? what make you tick tock and explode.
     
    that is like a blueprint of how your life is, was and will be runned. it determines who you truly are. deviate from that, hyprocrite you are. burn. follow that map and risk being condemned. so most choose the former. foolish yet some brave few choose the latter. so nicest is a facade, it is intangigle, it is there when you least expect it and absent when you truely need it. so. one never fails to ponder the authencity the genuinity of such nicety.
     
    in the eyes of god, we are all but merely black sheeps. but then who are we to define evil if not so good. if all is based on relativity, then nothing is either as most things are subjective. Confusing or foolish it may sound , people don't change one bit, if they do, some say for the better, some would say for the worst, but not knowing for certain better or worst, most people actually merely change with nothingness, people remain who they are but are pictured in a different light. They show a different side of them, exhibit certain qualities and hide some. Just like how the devil transformed into a snake in the garden of eden, some people are snakes in sheep's clothing, baaing around yet canabalising their own kind.
     
    People never change. They are a stage. a scene. a movie. a picture. things can be hidden but never removed. things can suppressed but never deleted. things can go invisible but never untouchable. people remain. so who are you ? truly.
     
    mirror. cry. hunger for the truth. for only you can tell what you are inside. no one truly knows you. dont pride yourself for being nice,evil,mean or cruel, for it is all a flaw in your character, merely seen and categorised by people into 2 categories good and bad. who says nice is good and not bad, who has this right ? are emotions and conscience truly good. how certain you ?
     
    how certain is the you in you ?
     
    btw i am too lazy to spell check. so ya my spelling really sucks btw.
     
    i may F5 more on life soon. now i am sian. oh another F5 is life is in fact boring. hahaha haha ha he that y we blog sigh . meaningless.

    New Zealand [nice photos]

    Dear whomever,
     
    Too lazy to write. Just imagine fun, any form of it, we experienced all.
     
    uhuh main aim is to post nice images. definition of nice is subjective.
     
    After looking at Perth, i realised how slack and pampered we were. Its official ours was a tour camp, it was so enjoyable that i even went fairer and fatter. We had our fair share of adrenaline pumps and rather factful tours, but comfort was always there.
     
    Tks to Mrs Sim and Miss Wong. You noe mrs sim wanted to let us her credit card, so cool. I bet ppl used it to buy porn mags.
     
    Ppl should post more images to share like jun wei. i wanna see.
     
    Die Whomever.

    A trip in the Life of ... so sianZ

    Last friday was O lvl English. It was kinda scary at first. I had a bad stomachache, was going on like a tugboat but i managed to comfort myself prior to meeting the 2 scary things in the room.
     
    It was kinda funny when loke came in and she started explaining the proceedings of the oral exams and she went into her "gentlemen", "ah .." and "you know" mode. "Gentlemen ah, i tell you we will be placing some goodies on the side of the table for the testers ah, don't happily munch and do your oral". so lame mdm loke but i guess she likes it.
     
    Nonetheless, Miss Pek was our time keeper. Its so cool cos she has been invigilating me for Australian Math, Chinese, English Common Test and now this. Based on what she did for both the common test, disappear throughout the duration of the test and only come back to collect back the test paper, i knew that the oral couldn't be any different. For goodness sake, she was happily munching away on her cookies while i was reading my passage lol. After a while, she left to walk about and i was left in solitutde. She came back and start munching again. The next time she checked the watch, i saw it read 13 minutes :> so 'munch' for 10 minutes.
     
    Then when i went in it was scary becos my back was facing the door. How if people backstab me .... nvm but the testes ...  i mean testers where rather soft ... i mean kind and amiable and they were all ears to what load of crap i had to say.
     
    The weird thing of the  picture was that it could have easily represented some sort of sex act. I mean we have a row of boys on their knees and hands. And girls kneeing on top of their backs. Not only was there nothing much to say but perverse was clouding my mind for me to think clearly.
     
    Then came the question for discussion. I was absolutely stunned. "Name 1 person you would replace?". I was thinkin of maybe the chinese teacher but then again you can't replace them becos all of them just rot and decay more. Its serious uneconomical to have any form of chinese scholarship. Then i decided to fake. I said i was some acccomplished scout [only in hierachy] that failed the CCA hike becos of some idiotic juniors who were too dumb to understand that you cannot spray aerosol stuff into a fire. As i proceeded along i realised how fake it was so i decided to make it more fake by saying that i should have gotten another sec 4 instead. hmm get wat i am saying nvm ....
     
    But then it was generally all rite.  I was very comforted that when i said [your suppose to say how sweet or how true] that my mum has always taught me that home is always the warmest and nicest place to be in, the testers responded with thats very true and she smiled. Then she said thank you and said i've done well today. YEH. wait for all you know well is an A2 damn.
     
    But anywae proj judging was horrible the computer was screwing with us [imagine tat :>]. We can't seem to download our ppt. We were stressed but fortunately not out of options. Luckily, apart from all the porn and spyware and adware on ryan's computer, there is also a very outdated but very useful version of our pre-semis ppt. Which we editted on the spot.
     
    Next our video screwed up. Instead of music, we heard moaning. in the end we fixed it too, although both were quite suitable.
     
    Next our judges were a pair of sims and one teo. They were nice. To think that our presentation was real crappy we kept screwing up, but what saved us was the portal, the video and file [ which miss sim remembers as the "thick" one]. She says it can be used to our disadvatage as the judges may not be able to noe what to find. They also commented that we had too much to present and i was confusing as we had 47 slides, 1 video, 1 website to show, 1 file to show and 1 online portal to show all in 8 minutes. can you dig tat ? so they asked us to mention only the impt ones.
     
    To think that we actually are the top 3 in SL cat when we presented so lousily. I heard and symphatise that wei qin and hong yi's grp were very unfortunate to have their ppt screwed. I feel sorry for them becos i think they deserve a better grade, like alvin's grp and zhi kang's grp.
     
    Lastly, to those who din managed to do as well as you exp for finals, just remember what JI says. Everybody pass around. SHE SAYS THAT THE JUDGES ARE STUPID< BLIND AND HAVE NO BRAIN WHEN JUDGING. SHE SAYS IT IS UNFAIR AND SHE SHOULD HAVE THE FINAL DECISION. nah juz kiddin .... or am i ?
     
    Angel:  Don't be too hard on yourself,
    Devil: get yourself hard.
     
    Angel:  I means wat's impt is that you have fun rite ?
    Devil: YEH RITE.
     
    Lastly[i wonder how many there actually are], finally after 4 yrs in chinese high, i have gotten an A* in a subject. Hey my physics got a 97 woohoo. To think that i din even understand what was half life like 3 days before the test. Mr tieu is indeed an example of teachers the school should hire to promote IP - independent learning. You have to when ppl can't help you. Teach less, Learn more.
     
    Until next time, byebye.

    How to improve myself

    Dear Diary,
     
    ... fo.fpad.... damn no ink
     
    I recently did some character thing that told me how to improve myself. I never believe such crap, which people fabricate to earn big bucks, but maybe i should.
     
    How i should change.
     
    1) Shut up
    I'll try. Virtually impossible. but I'll try.
     
    2) Go blind
    Give me a pencil and  Pregnant Teacher's naked photo. Painful but well worth it.
     
    3) Be more compassionate and understanding
    Put myself in people's shoes (albeit stinky) and suck in all the reek air. Understand their situation and accomodate them (someone has to). But actually if you know me when i am not that angry and bitchy [and don't say that i am bitchy 24 7], i can be quite nice (normally to strangers).
     
    *4) Become slack. Watch despo wifes, lost, movies, cartoons woo hoo exiciting yr ahead. Go go eye sight deterioration and grades improvement.  (only if all means fail)
     
    5) Follow Miss Sim's advice. Which is like totally a theory now .. "The best of friends are not exactly the best people to work with". I wanted to motivate, guess i have a totally different definition of motivation (probably picked it up from Mrs Sow)
     
    6) Stop dwelling in the past and look to the future.
    Learn to forgive people even though they don't repent (:> I am compelled to show repetence, sorry can't help it) But speaking strictly i am analysing the past trying to compel people to change. Since people don't give a shit about them, i should learn to keep my own shit in my own ass.
     
    7) Learn to phrase words correctly.
    Each class is specially. If you ask me i think both classes (all classes are) are like the earth, all comprising and developing devils going to hell :> (if your a staunch Christian i just pulling your leg. I'm sorry if your limbless.:'( ).
     
    8) Do not force and inject people with my doctrines.
    TYRANNY. Yar i love. Ok must stop but i mean if i inject you guys with viagra u wouldn't mind rite?
     
     I agree must stop. But i hope you agree that as long as you get the work we assigned each other done by the stipulated timline (unless got some weird stuff crop up - like ED checkup or sucidal hamster or countless relatives dying) its ok no matter how much pornographic videos you watch.
     
    9) Create voodoo dolls.
    I shan't elaborate. (btw the text is suppose to be invisible, if you saw it "you din see anything")
     
    10. God Bless you all. [neutralise effect of 9]
    When I feel angry with someone, something, i would pray and bless the person. (hope it doesn't turn out to be a curse :>) wait can't joke about these type of things.
     
    11. Stop Whining
    "why like that one" or "why you guys always ..." or "why all so slack one" or "wth were you doing last night" et cetera must stop.
     
    OK THIS PART I AGREE BUT MUST OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE, (APPEASEMEN POLICY LED TO WORLD WAR 2 ALSO [don't tell me indirectly]). so what method should i use. I want to elaborate somemore, BUT again i must not dwell in the past. *constructive comments pls
     
    12. Become detached from the society. an outcast. live in the dumpsters and sell rubbish for food. Adopt kittens as my daughters and dogs as my sons. My wife would probably be a lampost (one night stands).
     
    Again. no hard feelings if any (i don't think i made anyone unhappy). btw i tot slack ppl work with non-slack people suppose to be a gd combi. becos if blind lead the blind, everybody would probably be in some dark moist and acidic enclosure.
     
    again, "weird, mortals are" (so alvin probably knows who's alien now), they are many other workstyles and LIEstyles i must get used to. after so many years, i agree i am hard to work with, becos i nv really enjoyed working with anyone (it goes both ways), except jia hao (crystal growing - probably becos it in itself if slack and fun) and chee yang, tengen and jia hao - which i tried my best to slack in. 1 example is submissive the other is a tyrant. So i suppose i can't work with emotional people or people like myself (hypocrites).
     
    Just 1 plea, if you say don't brood over the past, please forgive jia hao he did nothing wrong.
     
    So anyone up for a challenge next year? Include widely acclaimed tormenter in your group, while stocks last.
     
    "My milkshakes got all the boys in the block ..."
     
    Quote of the day
    "It is not the great things in life that matters, it is the big things"
     
    Bye Diary.
     
    "its not my fault i behave such, and it isnot ur fault u behave such, but it is both our fault if we continue to behave as such"
     
    Aaron just to clarify i was in chee yang's grp last yr. They probably did well without me for some obvious reasons. If i was in their grp last yr, they wouldn't want me and i wouldn't want them again this yr.

    Project's Day "interesting read"

    Its so fun to do project's day. You know it develops your character ... mould you into a .... makes you compassionate(craps on for 10 million lines). YEH RITE. But i agree it sheds years of your life.

     

    I’m sorry groupmates, but you guys are really sucky to work with. Don’t take it too seriously, I need to distress. At least I did not backstab you guys … that much. And at the end, I’ll give a take on my bitchy self.

     

    1 hypocritical and slack group leader that doesn’t listen to me, I agree I am not rite all the times but how about other times? “Let’s all work to 3am”, he is the first to sleep at 1am “Oh I just could think of anything to write” he said. But I must agree with all the “all talk hardly work” attitude he is kind of useful sometimes as he gets into tight places I don’t want to get in. :>

     

    May be if he shoved something up somewhere inspiration would flow as fast as the blood would gush out.

     

    Then again, we have Mr. Procastination yet perfectionist a.k.a. “ I must forever do maths homework no matter the circumstance” or “trying my best to become teacher’s pet”, a.k.a. Bringer of the site, a.k.a. I better not say anymore … I mean hai, people say I am not human, sleep at such unearthly hours. But common on … if your really interested in what your doing … you wouldn’t mind sacrificing your sleep. It’s the same with games, you really like it, sometimes u sacrifice your sleeping hours. And what I really can’t stand is when the deadline is so near and he hasn’t started anything yet, but he still strives for perfection in everything he does. I mean yar I always admire perfectionists (I’m one huge failure) but if you wanted to be one, you should have started a long before the assignment was due, becos essentially perfectionism often takes more time. I mean, you know what is time rite? But when its already too late, you have to start prioritizing your stuff. To state liang wei’s example, I’m not sure, but I think in primary one, due to his extremely neat handwriting, he din managed to finish his Chinese test paper.

     

    Lastly, come to myself. Hell hath no fury like me scorned. Ignore me, death upon u. Skive off, death upon you too. But insult me I bear no grudge except anything insulting my best friend/s. To bitch with love, is my belief. If your team has no such person, it would be dysfunctional. It can be described as an eagle in dove’s feathers. I am sure both my group mates would have to agree that they were mean bitches, when it was time to start doing work, they still remained and dwindled in their debauched state. Especially group leader, exploitative. I am a person who cannot bear to hand up a piece of work without putting in my utmost best, hence if my group mates don’t do their share of work, I cannot bear see our project fail becos of their slackiness. So whether they want to agree with me or not, at least, 80% of what is in the file was originally done by me. Probably only 3-5 pages was done by group leader. (btw that only 1 stupid reflection). So not that I want to bitch and PMS all year round. But look at my situation, you would have died from hemorrhage already.

     

    I agree everybody slacks, me inclusive, I do not always want to do work, I want to play too. But at least when I know something has to be done, I will do it. I will not stuff it up my hind and leave it to rot there. Hoping by divine intervention that assimilation would take place in my colon and something good would come out of it. I’m sorry if I offended anyone purposely or unintentionally (but not sorry for sec 1 grp, or bitches for the grp leader’s class), I either had reasons or was oblivious. And don't get me wrong i am also hypocritical, but in a good way.

     

    Nevermind all the unhappy times. It over. Let bygones be bygones (yeh rite … if not I wouldn’t have written this entry :>)  and start a fresh (some people are already so decayed that the more you peal to find a fresh beginning the more dirty it gets).

     

    Sorry for all the weird words. Hope you guys had a good laugh or if you din manage to laugh (obviously becos it concerns you) then try laughing. Still can’t? then call me, I’ll make sure you do. :>

     

    Project’s day was fun (note that I said this before cat 9 group results came out). I’m sorry guys if you don’t agree with me, but note that this is a view about you from an outsider. The fact that someone can see something like that In you indicates, you better start lying better or go for a sex change.

     

    Your hissingly,

    Samuel

    First Day of Term 3

    Boring is an understatment.

    Apart from thrashing a group of 9 (21-0) in frisbee, it was plain monotonous. Copy homework here, copy there. And after a while, you realise that everybody is copying CHINESE .... see that "" is so unreasonable.

    Well today was the first day meeting gollum, she's very nice/funny/not attractive/ok dress sense/pragmatic/typical IH teachers. Bossy, articulate, strict yet amiable and funny with a tinge of sarcasim. Did i say tinge? With colloqual terms rampant in her less than perfect american slang, it really makes an interesting concortion. What is "ultimate reality"? do you noe there are more than 1? OMG i bet u nv knew. wait who cares anyway. Firstly, they should do somesortof brainwashing. Explain the meaning of liberality and democracy and then say why we have no choice but sit for a less than meaningful module/core. Philos = love, sophia=wisdom. Sophia sounds more like a call-girl's name seriously.

    There's hardly any life today, everybody is so dead. All going mad guessing the days of the bio test. Hope it's tmr, so more ppl will die, wait that's evil, wish phys is tmr then even more ppl would die :> But being the target of spite is somewhat unhealthy, or is it?

    oh and btw, if you haven't caught Mr and Mrs Smith, you should do so. It really is all laughs, except for some irritant baldy sitting in front me. So sensitive to seat movement, if so bring ur own seat with ur own suspension coils if not learn to tolerate.

    anticlimax: i am history rep. only plus point, help friends get better OP marks. neg. points, get scolded by teocm, leave bad impression the list goes on. So i guess it is not THAT bad. Today, she went about asking y new ppl choose history. Model answer "Lit teacher too scary and geog is no challenge".
