My Noobishness

Ah, people have been moaning about how much they want me to blog on a regular basis haha. So... i won't! Hahaha, seriously people, i don't have the time nor the motivation to blog... it's not that i have nothing to write about. I assure you people out there, my life is still as interesting and eventful as ever.

Just that day i ripped apart my pants while playing badminton lol. Perhaps i deserved it, i was in my hyperactive-maniac mood and since we were playing doubles, it was really 2 vs 1 with my passive and quite pissed off partner haha. Well, i jumped sideways and there was a loud ripping sound. A cool breeze asaailed my supple thighs (haha) and i looked down. There was a HUGE, gaping hole in my pants, i stretched from near the base of the zipper all the way to halfway up my ass. Oh my lord, it was embarrassing i tell ya, i was holding my pants together with both hands and running to the toilet with a real awkward gait where i hid until i got help lol.

Interesting enough? Haha, well, there ya go readers.

I also participated in the Creative Writing Competition held by the school. I submitted 2 poems and if i'm really lucky that all the actual Lit students are retarded... i might just win something lol...

1st entry: Journey's End
The better of the two and a heavily redone piece of an earlier composition. I worked on this for a longgg time lol.

Journey’s End

The fading rays of sunlight
Basks your form in a warm, mellow glow
Your statuesque silhouette quivers silently
(with) Reverberations of heart-wrenching grief

As ebony cape of night drapes itself around golden orb
Graceful streams of mercurial flow
Springing unbidden from sorrowful pools
Cascade down slender cheekbones

These broken sobs
They sound so hollow
Each one shallower than before
Chipping away at your strength
Draining your mortality with every breath

The contour of my shade melds with yours
Encompassing you within my arms
I lend you the warmth of my soul
Dampening my cheeks
I dry your tears away

I feel your fear
Fear of that ethereal world of night
Falling through endless shadows
Into the abyss, that bottomless chasm
Out of memory, Out of time

I promise you,
You and I will meet again
Join in embrace once more
The warmth of our hearts entwining
The tendrils of our immortal soul

Across the darkness, Morning’s light beckons
Incandescent orb peeks through its obsidian veil
Its warmth softly caressing your skin
The time has come, farewell
Go now, sleep now
I will join you in time


2nd entry: Mirror
I wrote this poem as a joke haha. i wrote this in half an hour at the library where i was supposed to be mugging and hence, it's actually pretty bad. However, I feel that it's a refreshing change and mildly entertaining. Not that this stands a chance of winning tho haha

Mirror

I am a slave
Incarcerated for my resplendent lustre
Locked away for my truthfulness
I lie affixed upon the wall of my prison

Upon the other walls lie my fellow convicts
Portrait, the plain-faced liar
Abstract, the muddled freak
And Clock, the timeless warden

Every so often I get a strange visitor
A pale visage will peer into my depths
And bound by my vow, I must,

With ruthless integrity
Expose every subtle nuance
The grotesque beauty
The exquisite horror

The reactions I provoke are queer
Sometimes they look closer
As if looking for something

However, on many an occasion,
They will frantically attempt
To adjust their contorted facades
Into something more aesthetically pleasing
Only to have their elastic features
Come a-bouncing back once I’m not there

After that, they may drop a gift or two
Precipitation ranging from
A fine mist upon my cyclopean eye
To a torrential monsoon
And once, even some viscous green slime

All gifts thrust forcibly onto me,
However, there was this once,
I had been bequeathed,
Wrapped up with a ribbon,
A 10,000 megavolt smile
Which blinded me to my existence in this dread place
And it seemed that being a slave wasn’t that bad after all


Well, that's it kids, i'll blog... sometime... Well, until i do, au revoir readers.

Carpe Diem

Ah, i haven't been writing for quite a while now, i really have neither the time nor the mood to blog. Since the start of the holidays, life has taken a turn for the worse. It's really boring and i can't believe i'm saying this but i miss school haha. Sheesh. Well, what have i been doing over the holidays... hmmm... well i caught up on my school work, what can i say haha. I guess i was really worried after my dismal CA and H1 papers. Boring ain it? Well then, i won't write anything about me studying. (although we did do some stupid stuff in the library hahahaha)

I also focussed on whipping my body into shape this month, although i can't say it has been very effective but at least i can say i tried haha. I skipped more than 1/2 of the track trainings this month, it's at Serangoon Stadium for god's sake. It isn't exactly my idea of fun to have to wake up at 7 in the morning to travel halfway across Singapore just for a couple of hours of track training (which is horribly dull btw, i can't wait till cross-country training resumes). And aha, i finally found a good gym, it's at Bedok Sports Complex. It's way better than the school gym although the school gym is more aesthetic. It has these really awesome machines for the forearm/biceps, triceps and abdominals. I'm one step closer to being a Spartan now :)

Hmmm, what else, oh yeah, after a week or so into the holidays, i got really sick of Economics and decided to try my hand at poetry. Well, my first one was inspired by a really fiery conversation over msn, i wrote it on a bus and so, it sucked, it had no rhythm, rhyme, alliteration or metre whatsoever haha. The second about someone and had a psychotic overkill on rhymes and the third was an attempt at medieval literature which ended up rather like a rhyming prose instead haha. I wrote my fourth one at the library today when i was supposed to be studying physics heh. It's an attempt on abstract, my previous poems were all very literal. And i have Rebekah and Jamy to thank for giving me useful comments on my poems. The rest of you were useless, what does "It's okay la" mean. Mehhhh.

And here it is, feel free to tag on it too,
Presenting my fourth and best poem to date
(I'm still a n00b, so forgive me if i insult your literary complex with my poor and cliched attempts at the noble art of poetry which you hold so dear) Hehehe



Why do you weep?
What are these tears on your face?
Streams of liquid quicksilver
Springing unbidden from sorrowful pools
The windows to your heart
Cascading down slender cheekbones
Dampening my cheeks
I dry your tears away

These broken sobs
They sound so hollow
Each one shallower than before
Sapping your strength
Draining your life-force with every breath
I hold you closer
Lending you my warmth of my soul

I feel your fear
Fear of the world of night
Falling through the webs of shadow
Into the eternal abyss, that gaping chasm
Out of memory and time

I promise you,
You and I will meet again
Join in embrace once more
The warmth of our hearts entwining
Our eternal spirit

Shine a star upon you
Light through the murk
Illuminate the lonely path
Let it guide you home

What do you see on the horizon?
Across the darkness
Morning light beckons you
Its warmth softly caressing your skin
The time has come, farewell
Go now, sleep now
I will join you in time

And in case anyone was wondering what the heck i'm writing about, it's about me cradling and soothing someone who is dying in my arms. Yessss, the drama, actually this poem was inspired by a song on the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack, it have me the inspiration to write this.

And NO, i will not post my previous poems. (Those of you who know why... shhhh, the rest, keep guessing hahaha)

Screw H1s!!!

Ahhh, I was stuck at home for the whole of today. At home, I mostly crash in my room and chill at my com. So I did and here I am writing a new post for my blog since I’m so friggin bored.

16 days have passed since my previous post. H1 Mid-year exams have just finished and yeah, I’m screwed hahaha.

GP was okay… not! For the essay, I picked the topic on advertisement since it sounded kinda easy. The question was: “Advertisements are manipulative and misleading. Discuss”. I think I wrote wayyyy out of point hahaha.

I argued that advertisements take advantage of our primeval desires and wants passed down to us millions of years ago. Hence we are attracted to sex and food. Hence advertisements indulge us with an excess of women and scrumptious cuisine. Ergo, advertisements are manipulative. Now that I’ve recalled what I wrote and summarized it….yes, it’s rubbish hahaha.

My 2nd point was the classic and forever-cliché misleading argument. I said that the advertisements for the Adam Khoo courses were totally faked since the statistics were flawed in the sense that only the people who really felt changed by his psychotic camp would bother taking the online survey (I faked this). Hence, not really 100% of the participants would benefit as the statistics in the advertisements claimed. (again I faked this lol). Personally I felt that it was a waste of time and oo-er, it cost a bomb too ~ a sweet $1400 and obviously I didn’t gain anything from the cost given my slacker self now hahaha.

Hah, I used slimming ads as my 2nd example and since I had barely enough time left, I wrote something like; The case of slimming advertisements are so mind-numbingly cliché that I won’t go into it since it speaks for itself. Hahahaha, I can just imagine the response of the marker, O_O

“What sheer audacity! This is blatant contempt for the General Paper. Impertinent child.” And I fail the paper. How sad.

Bah, I really didn’t have enough time to finish my conclusion. I was still writing when that batty caucasian man – Fahi asked us to stop. My last 3 sentences were incoherent, grammatically incorrect and my handwriting was horribly mangled. All in all, I think that my essay is a gone case. Boo.

The comprehension passage later was a load of BULLCRAP. Whoever the writer was, something Lewis I think, is a total nutcase and a retard. The passage from the start to the end is a complete fallacy as I had a good time explaining in my AQ (albeit in a nice way). Most of the questions were okayyyyy, I seem to recall myself getting slaughtered in vocab and summary. Oh… My… God… what the hell was there to write for the summary? I summarized the passage in like 25 words. It goes like this:

The responses to mistakes that we make allow of further progression of human society.

Bravo, bravo, I recall I only filled up like the bottom 1/3 of the page for the summary haha. Man…my GP is so damn screwed… but I won’t claim responsibility… I shall blame Rani!!!

As a matter of fact, this is only the 2nd comprehension paper that we’ve done. The first was the CA paper and we didn’t even go through that properly, she only went through the summary and vocab questions. She only panicked 2 weeks before our GP exam, she made us do tons of work and stuff with nothing really entering our heads apart from thoughts like “dumbass black bitch… grrr… & u oughta die u incompetent fat whore”. Before that, GP was pretty much a free period, all we did was to drift off to dreamland while she droned on in that monotone (albeit a high pitched one haha), reading from worksheets and powerpoint slides and punctuating ever so often with “umm, kay? & understand?” Silence always follows these questions.

God, I’ve droned on and on about GP, it’s an essay all by itself. Hahaha

The Geography paper the next day was definitely worse, I was thoroughly raped by it lol lol. I could barely bring myself to put myself to the mental torture of studying it beforehand. Geography kind of drains my brain of all its fluids until it’s nothing but a crumbly, desiccated mass. Then I fall asleep regardless of my surroundings. Nothing works, coffee, red bull, even standing can’t keep me awake. In the end, I only managed to study volcanoes and earthquakes, 2 out of like 10 topics for the mid-year.

Anyway, I don’t think it would matter if I came for the exam or not, I’m gonna fail it so bad, so very very bad. My 8m essay was like… 3lines? Also for one of the DRQ questions in which I had to describe the weathering processes and they showed me some kinda hill with thin black blobs streaming forth, I wrote that it must be a spring emanating from the hills which cut out channels. Whahaha, that’s total bullcrap, I’ve never seen the word spring or anything like I wrote in the notes. The only thing I really knew was… slope stability, the shear stress/strength and ratio. That’s like… ½ page out of the enormous stack of notes (100+ pages). Weeeee, just gonna die.

Why are my H1 subjects so screwed???!! They’re supposed to be easy!! They’re called H1 for a reason you know. Well, I resolve to study for my math/physics/econs exams and I will ace them!!!! Muahahaha.

Pathos

[WARNING!] - The author was in an emo mood at the time of writing, young children and pregnant women should press Alt+F4 immediately.

I’ve just realized something about myself… For the past 2 weeks or so I’ve been wallowing in the darkness of self-despair, only that I’ve never realized that I was in that state… I see that I have been shallow, superficial and petty pretty much all my life.

I’m not emo, I just feel like being one right now… I’m absolutely frustrated at the lack at which I can express myself, the lack of motivation, the lack of satisfaction, the general lack of happiness in my current stance.

My subject combo, my teachers, my puny social circle (in comparison with others - bloody Michael knows like 50% of the school population), my bloody nubness at almost every bloody thing possible…

I wanna go back in time, I wanna do things that I’ve spurned, I wanna embrace things that I’ve always despised… I wanna study for O level prelims, I wanna study for Os, I wanna go for PAE… I wanna reset my whole life…

I have always wanted great things thrust upon me but now I realize that I would have to reach for them myself.

Perhaps this is me starting to become more aware of the world from a new perspective, a dawn of a new horizon upon which I would stand taller than ever before…

Time shall tell

PS. Pardon the lame gayness in this speech, I’m kinda like this when I’m feeling down.

My First Ever Blog!!

Ah, it was half a fun and half an exceptionally boring day today. As usual I met up with Michael to play cards (he kept pestering me while I was still on my way to school, are u that lonely? XD hahahaha)

Our first period was Student Dev, initially I was overjoyed, no bloody retarded religious class! However, that bloody lump of cellulite (Ms Rani) came in for the Ethnics class! Over the next hour, she presented an extremely grainy video (pirated?) then proceeded to drone on and on for around 25mins on ASEAN. After that, we had to write a letter to a foreign friend about the positive aspects and attractions on a couple of ASEAN countries. Does anyone think I did that? DAMN BLOODY STRAIGHT I DIDN’T!!! I thought it was an absolutely retarded activity and I was bored to death by the Rani’s incessant droning. I’ve realized that Rani doesn’t teach, she presents, all she does is read out from powerpoint slides or notes. That’s so bloody useless, does she think we can’t read for ourselves? And… what has ASEAN got to do with Ethnics? Bah, every class with Rani sucks… bloody boring… damn sick of her face…

After Student Dev… we had double GP!! OMG, 2 hours more with Rani! We were supposed to complete our essay that we started 2 weeks ago but… SHE BLOODY LOST MY ESSAY!!! WTF man!!! She even had the cheek to ask me to start a completely new one… I nearly slapped her (not really haha). In a foul mood, I felt like being an absolute bastard at that moment, so I decided to write that “‘It is perfectly justifiable for children to put their parents in a home”. What an interesting topic hehehe…. But… I was still damned pissed at that bloody Rani, so… I finished my planning then for my essay, I wrote the question then promptly proceeded to sleep haha… After like ½ hour when she finally noticed that I was sleeping, she wanted to make me stay back but I refused, what could she possibly do to me? In the end, she let me do it next Wednesday during my double break …however… will I? Muhahaha

Whiew… finally had a break after 3 bloody hours with Rani… I got a chicken baguette and a nutrisoy for lunch today as per norm. Everyone else was eating gooey chicken chops with rice and omelettes (yuck… *vomits*). We then headed back to class to talk cock and play cards… Hahahaha, we kept recalling that on World of Warcraft, Jovett successfully turned a Spanish guy living in Australia gay on Sunday lol… man… it was sick… after a total psychological turnover and sublime homosexual references… Jovett managed to get the guy to measure the length of his dick (13.25cm for a 14 yr old) and also taught him how to wank... seriously… wtf man… The next day that guy (Felipe) asked Jovett to be his online boyfriend lol… Jovett agreed b’cos he wants gold from him lol… Seriously… something like that is wrong… very very wrong… even beyond me (and that’s something hahahaha). Surprisingly and perhaps shockingly, Jovett remains proud of his achievement… he is one screwed up kid hahaha. He insinuated that he wants to turn Rebekah’s (his gf) brother gay too, and also how to turn on his sister (Rebekah). She and Perlyn got mad and threw stuff at him lol. I suggested that he teach her brother how to turn on his mom and Rebekah threw a bottle (full!!) at me. Hit me on my shoulder after I dodged (and landed on the floor). While this drama was going on, Kenneth and Nigel were too involved in playing 7-hand poker (I taught them that!!!) to take any notice lol.

After break, we had physics tutorial, we went through our physics tutorial that we each did one question earlier. Throughout that one hour period, we managed to get through 4 questions… a bit ineffective if u ask me. The break she gave us in the middle of the period might have contributed to it too hehe (such a nice teacher ^^). The only bad thing was that she loves to make lame jokes… as usual. Lemme give an example hehe; A statistician had a phobia of bomb threats in airplanes so he always took alternative means of transportation. One day, his colleague saw him in the airport waiting for his flight. Feeling curious, his colleague asked him if he had gotten rid of his phobia. The statistician replied that he had done a lot of precise calculations regarding bomb threats and double-checked all of them. He found out that the possibility of having 2 bombs on a plane was minute, nearly zero. Hence, he felt confident enough to take a plane as he had brought a bomb with him. Funny right? Anyone who find this funny should be shot in the balls. Just after that we came up with our own racist jokes lol. What do u get when an Indian gets into the ocean? Answer: Littering. What do u get when u put many Indians into the ocean? Answer: An oil slick. What do u get when u put all Indians of the world into the ocean? Answer: A better world. Guan Min’s (the guy who sits next to Anand - a black asswipe) reaction was instant psychotic hysterical laughter. I love Physics, it’s nice ^^

I had Malay B…argh... Personally, I feel that it’s totally retarded… but… strangely enough, I might be unconsciously learning something hehe. We had a test on occupations today, had to label pictures with the malay word for each particular occupation. I was hopeless and only got 6/25 for that hahahaha. Daniel, the weird Malaysian guy was tops with 12/25 and won 5 pieces of chocolate. Bah, I was tops for the animal naming test the previous week and won a whole tube of oreo hahahaha.

Finally our day ended! We decided to go to Raffles City to get FREE Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Apparently this is an annual event (Free Cone Day!!). I found out that I left my ez-link card at in my running shorts the night before so I had to pay cash for the bus ><. We took 2 buses to get to Dohby Gaut MRT station then a short ride to City Hall just to get there lol, I spent $3 just for that!!! But it was money well spent b’cos I got 3 Ben & Jerry’s ice creams! Had to queue for about 3minutes for each cone and another 3 minutes to finish that cone. I tried the Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chunky Monkey and Sweet Cream & Cookies. All of them were awesome! It was oddly satisfying to know that we got ice creams which cost $4.50 each for FREE. Nigel dropped his ice cream off his cone when he tried to poke me with it lol - dumbass hahahaha. I bet if it hadn’t been free he would feel damn sad but …it was free, hence we couldn’t care any less :) We hanged around for abit after that. Jovett & Rebekah went to MPH to check out the Adult’s Interest Section (horny bitches hehe) whereas me, Nigel and Perlyn just walked around aimlessly. We also took pictures with the cow mascot there lol. The mascot looked absolutely ridiculous with a disproportionately large head and a rather skinny body. I thought it looked like a starving, emaciated Ethiopian cow hahahaha. We took 2 pictures with it. I wasn’t in the first shot cos I tried to poke my hand into the cow’s mouth (the mascot’s only viewpoint), it tried to whack me then shoo me away while we were shrieking like banshees. During the 2nd shot, Nigel and Jovett posed as normal on either side of the cow while I slowly sneaked from the cow’s side and pretended to cup the cow’s balls (I’m assuming that it was a male cow). That was hilarious lol, hahahahhahaha, I put that shot on my friendster :)

Then we all went our separate ways home, I found out that Nigel lives in Pasir Ris, I always thought he lived in the north cos he went to YJC during the PAE. Kinda bored when I got home… so… I decided to start a blog and u’re reading my first post! It’s relatively long, at about 1445 words and took me around 2 hours to write hahaha. Anyway, it’s time for my 2.4km training. Hopefully I can find the time to blog again tomorrow. (I find this kinda fun, sorta like creative writing :)
