Hey people, it's one of the rare times anyone blogs at 6:40 plus in the morning right? :P Anyway, it's time to well, wrap up a few things, im actually thinking of moving to wordpress, since a few of my friends have. And also, it gives me a start to start afresh in my next chapter in life.

Well, let's see. Life has been alright for me, but maybe not for those around me. And in some weird ways, it affects me. Conflicts, misunderstandings and so on. Sigh, anyway, im hoping that if I have to encounter any of these, I will have the maturity not to react to heavily towards it.

At 8am tomorrow, I will know if either im going the JC route or the Poly route. if its IJC, well , im hoping it will be a great new start. a literal new start! away from so many friends I have, who most likely are going Poly or following their dreams or even going other JCs to fulfill their dreams. All the best guys! :D

Anyway, here are some pictures, to entertain you guys.

I Turn To You - Christina Aguilera

When I'm lost in the rain,
In your eyes I know I'll find the light
To light my way.
And when I'm scared,
And losing ground,
When my world is going crazy,
You can turn it all around.
And when I'm down you're there
- pushing me to the top.
You're always there,
giving me all you've got.
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
When I lose the will to win,
I just reach for you and
I can reach the sky again.
I can do anything
'Cause your love is so amazing,
'Cause your love inspires me.
And when I need a friend,
You're always on my side
Giving me faith
taking me through the night
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
For the arms to be my shelter
through all the rain,
For truth that will never change,
For someone to lean on,
For a heart I can rely on through anything,
For that one who I can run to...
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
For a shield from the storm,
For a friend, for a love
to keep me safe and warm
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong,
For the will to carry on
For everything you do,
for everything that's true
I turn to you.
I turn to you...

It's 08:48am (GMT+8) now... Im typing on my keyboard as usual, and writing all this crap because I love to. :P

Anyway, 2 days ago, all of my friends and I received something which had us worried for 2 months. The G.C.E. 'O' Level Results! Well, for my school, Ben Teong was one of the top student,s 9 for L1R5!!! That was super good lah! I expected it, but i wonder if he did. My class well, didnt do as well as I thought. This time, 401 and 403 did quite well, I admit that, and for quantity, Queensway did better this time than the previous batch. But not for the distinctions, only 37 got 4 or more.

Well, here are my grades:
English Language - B4
History - A2
Combined Humanities (SS w/ Geog) - A1
Mathematics - A2
Additional Mathematics - B3
Physics - B4
Chemistry - B4

L1R4 - 12; L1R5 - 16

Was so shocked for E Maths, i mean it seemed it will be hard to get a A for E Maths, but for A Maths and History i wanted a A1. Ah heck nvm, im so happy for my Combined Humanities because i got a A1!!! :D :D Physics and Chemistry were better than what i expected.

Thank you to all my teachers, schoolmates, family and my SMRT Service Leader Friends for believing in me! (: Now, i have problems choosing my desired future.

2009-01-09T19:30:00.002+08:00

It's 1930 (GMT+8) now in Singapore. I am at home, typing on my computer. Thoughts of panic, regret, happiness and more emotions are running through my mind. I am feeling very stressed.

In 3 days, I will realise where I REALLY went wrong.
In 3 days, I will realise what my future will be.
In 3 days, I will lose all happiness to go around and have fun.
In 3 days, I will ponder as to what to do if I do well or not.
In 3 days, I will forever know my strengths and weaknesses in QSS.

Went for Singapore Poly and Ngee Ann Poly Open Houses today. For a look and GOODIE BAGS! :P
SP was actually MUCH BETTER than what i expected out of it. And I found a course I am well-interested in. "Human Resource Management in Psychology". Well, their "Applied Drama with Psychology" seems appealing too. :D
NP, same stuff as last time I went for their experience. Quite ok bah, their OurSpace@72 seems so HIP!

HAHA and now i shall press the "Publish Post" button.. (:

2008-12-25T00:40:00.001+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! (:

2008-12-24T11:13:00.002+08:00

It's been quite a while since I last updated. Christmas is coming soon, and so is Santa Claus! :P Well, i dont celebrate christmas but it seems to be the most popular holiday in all countries come this time of year. (:

And today i was so ready to go out, but the weather seems so foul. UGH! Another stay-at-home day. :( I want to go out but I don't think my parents will permit and they'll probably say that "It's good to stay home once in a while".

I feel like sleeping now...

2008-12-17T21:07:00.002+08:00

Just finished dinner. (: And now, im typing on my blog. Well, my life at first seems like a roller coaster. Yesterday i nearly thought I lost my wallet, but actually i found it in the place i LEAST expected it. So yeah, im relieved.

I have been thinking. Working people work their asses off just to earn money, makes me feel like they really need to get those bucks to achieve a high standard of living and good quality of life. OK why am I doing geog here? nvm lemme continue. Anyway, because I see friends and family working my asses off, I don't see why I can't get myself to accept the fact and mature and endure certain pain. It is not so bad, its just tiring but not till its the end of the world. My Service Leader friends work from 8-12 hours a day, my parents work from 9 - 6 so im wondering, why treat life like as if it will never change? might as well get up and experience the real world now rather than suffer in NS...

2008-12-15T19:45:00.003+08:00

Suppose to be with Justina and gang, but couldn't. My phone suddenly brokedown terribly. Went and got the Sony Ericsson G705. It's quite good actually, but I don't know, i felt more comfy getting the W595, except that phone didn't have wifi. So finally, I have a LINE! (: Ah well, today felt so lethargic that I cannot even like concentrate 100%.

My mind has been troubled lately. I have been too open about my problems because I lack security. AH well, i hope tomorrow can be a better day. It seems that now when someone talks to me, at a certain point I feel heavily pressurized. My mind has this twirling feeling and I feel so unsteady to make my own decisions. Everything just feels like a big bulk. People expect me to do stuff I can't get myself to do, and im considered lazy or a loser for it. Tomorrow im going to ask if I can get a second chance. If not, then it's ok. I may not have done my best but it's worth something right? I guess being a useless slob isn't such a bad thing, even if everyday I go out of the house. =X

2008-12-08T19:38:00.020+08:00

WOW! This blog post took me DAYS to update. HAHA and now im finally done lah! Gonna start work tomorrow, well its just meeting the boss and prob training. Quite nervous, working with many people I don't even know. And apparently, Vivo uniform for Haagen Dazs is not that ridiculous White T with beige/green pants so YAY for me because i can exchange uniform (:

Anyway, these holidays have been so far overly fruitful for me. Well, im just here to blog about a few.

Wibi's BBQ Was quite fun haha, learnt how to play some card games, which i now have forgotten. =X Drank 3 shots of vodka, but only drunk for like 20 minutes? I suffered a terrible hangover for at least a week or so!! GAH! But i really enjoyed myself there haha.

Us at Wibi's place

Lionel's Birthday/Class BBQ
Ok, it was my firstever class outing. And well, i had fun. We splashed each other with bucketloads of water till we got chased out of Faisal's place by the security guards. It was so fun haha, and the BBQ stuff was so nice lah! And well, i saw the other side of my classmates more, like what they really like and talk about. After the BBQ, took Uncle Sara's 426M to Pine Grove bus stop and took Uncle Teoh's 630P LAST BUS to Bukit Batok. Felt so shiok lah! And then, he asked if i was still drunk, i was like NO?!? x.x

Class Picture (:

Justina's Steamboat
My first ever... Haha her house is well, not as near as she claimed. Scooby look so cute and fat. But Orange was even fatter lah! =X Played risk and forced to stay on for god knows how long. Kuok Loon gave us souveniors, i got a London bus. (: haha we bought TOO MUCH food and i dont think we could finish eating =X

Us, picture spoiled thanks to Diva and his stupid big fat toe. =X

Us at Justina's House (:

My Bus Tour around East/North Singapore with School Friends It was fun! I can't believe that joyriding with others can make the experience totally different. We started at Bukit Merah, took a 851 OC (SMB25P) to Yishun. Then, we took 965 (TIB616G) to WRI and it was driven by a lady (Alvan's worst nightmare :P). Then we waited for 858, and headed for a 1hr FAST SHIOK ride on TIB782J. Had lunch at BK Changi Airport, jalan-jalan abit and then took 36 to Suntec. After jalan-jalan abit more, took 700A (TIB471G) to PS, then Jalan-Jalan more. Then we took 171 (TIB501D) to Far East Plaza to jalan-jalan and have dinner.

TIB473B on 851 (:

Sleepover
Haha invited friends over to my house for sleepover since my brother went to Cambodia. (: Well, wanted more to come but it was fun, despite my com not working. Thankfully Danial had his lappie and we played some board games and watched TV.

My friends and I (:

Nissan Diesel U31RCN Tour
Ok, well, let me just say lah, it was not a bad tour. I enjoyed myself despite the lil hiccups here and there. And i sort of managed to learn a few values from this tour... tolerance, trust, politeness and more... Goodbye Nissans... my childhood memories are vanishing, i remember taking 75 UDs to primary school with leaky aircons... sigh...

Computer's fixed!!! (: My blog's only dead because my com died. Will update tomorrow, too lazy to do so now.

2008-11-23T19:55:00.002+08:00

Well, im back from another day of going out. Well, my stomach seems to feel hungry, but I feel its slightly pain, maybe i haven't eaten enough of my vegetables and fruits :S

Ah i feel like for some reason im getting stomach cramps. Maybe im stressed out for the wrong reasons. I didn't get the PT job in the end :( im still trying to scout around for jobs. Suddenly, i feel if i dont do anything worthy these holidays, I might as well do other stuff, maybe helping around the house or well, scout for more jobs?

Buses are suddenly becoming less of a need to catch pictures of now, because well, it seems I've gotten most of em before. Ah well, it doesn't mean im liking them less, its just i don't feel the urge to get to take pictures or ride them as badly as i wanted to in the past. Maybe its a sign of growing up?

2008-11-14T21:21:00.002+08:00

NEW blog skin (:

Sigh, day 3 since my freedom from the big O's. Well, i am delighted that a BIG BIG chunk of stuff is off my chest, but now im feeling rather empty and useless. I ask myself stupid questions and whenever im having fun or doing stuff, i somehow always feel like im hanging from some thread, like a puppet of some sort. :( so much for freedom, i dont wanna go back to school, but the thing is, im lifeless now, not even bus-spotting makes me feel so enlightened.
Maybe its about time... 1 more week of stuff to enjoy till i go and look for a PT job, because i gather after next week i'll be very very bored.

2008-11-13T20:33:00.001+08:00

Im feeling high and low... whats wrong with me? O Levels has just ended, and well, im happy about that. But the weather isn't.

Seems like some people around me are feeling down, their feelings somehow make me feel down too. It's not their faults they told me stuff, i guess maybe im a good listener but just someone who is not a good at euduring pain. And now... im just too sleepy to care. Let's just call this a worthless blog entry which i won't delete. (:

2008-11-07T19:41:00.002+08:00

Hello people, been a very very long time since i last updated. Miss me? :P Alright, umm O's are almost over. I can't wait, 5 more days! After 0900, no more files, books and stuff for 2 months or more! :D

I know I've slackened off ever since that History SEA paper is finished. But im hoping to get up on my feet and give the MCQs my best chance. Been practicing Physics MCQ questions from other schools, and realising my mistakes. Well, my mom thinks if I work hard, i can earn a 35. I hope i do work to that level! (: As for Chemistry, for now im just reading the textbook, will practise maybe during the weekend.

As for other stuff, I got my prom night clothes, shoes but not my tie. Amazingly, Raffles City has LOADS of shops to buy clothes. (: my mom went with me to get the stuff.

Well, now im off to do some more revision, and ask my dad some Physics stuff.. after 12 November, first target... TIB1237K, the Ugly Betty ad-ed bus! :D

2008-10-27T09:32:00.003+08:00

HAPPY DEEPAVALI to all my Indian friends! (:

To everyone taking O Levels, study hard yeah? Still got another 2 weeks and slightly to go to freedom.

2008-10-23T19:16:00.002+08:00

Geog paper was today. You know what, all i could hear was "EASY" or "Easier than mid-year and prelims". That means something is wrong with me... I chose Q1 and Q4. I feel like i may not have answered to the questions. I mean, well, my forte is in forests and development.

Ohyeah, umm there was this one question, i think i messed up.

Section A
1(a)(i) With the help of Photograph A, outline the main characteristics of mangroves. [4]
My answer was crap lah. I went to describe and explain about the features and stuff. :(

1(a)(i) Explain two ways in which tropical rainforests are adapted to climate. [4]
My answer was crap lah. I went to describe and explain about LEAVES only, but included evergreen AND waxy with drip tips.

1(c)(i) Suggest human uses of tropical rainforest areas. (with help of Photographs B and C) [4]
My answer... recreational activities and also clearance of forests for etc... hope it wont be penalised.

I don't care about section B, i may have lost some marks there...

Byebye A1.. :( shall go off to do E Maths stuff now. insects are flying in and being attracted to the light! AH!

2008-10-15T13:22:00.004+08:00

I look outside my window now. It's about to rain heavily, either a flash rain or those long long tiring rains...

Just finished tuition. I realised i suck in locis and construction. =X and my graphs NEEDS alot more improvement. :( sigh... i wanna really do well for O's, but the thing is, im not panicked. That's the problem. :(
And now, those stupid Merc OC500LEs are coming out. And like people are getting pics here and there. If only i didn't promise to my mom that I will NEVER step out of the house to get bus photos until 12 november... except that 91.3FM bus... EVEN 970 has OC500LE cameos lah! :( i am waiting for my new camera, and also to get pictures... Now i know what Hafiz feels like every week he has to leave home for camp... sigh :(

5. Joyride buses I like... and also Nissan Diesels!
6. Go to SBS Transit areas for pictures...
7. Update SBS Transit Photo Gallery
8. Get a part-time job? (I don't wanna waste the whole of my holidays)

2008-10-12T13:09:00.002+08:00

A good Sunday morning wasted... Physics Practical is on tuesday, and i read very little... :( boo hoo. Every room of the house is OCCUPIED except the study room, which also has my computer. So technically, it isnt a study room. Heh.

I feel from PRELIMS to now, i've lost my momentum, and i can't get back up. Physics seems much harder now. Chemistry is no better. I haven't even touched my humanities since September! :( ah i better not regret bah. anyway, probably have to do that Criterion Essay..

What am I aiming to do today?
(1) Criterion Essay
(2) Physics [Topical revision on General Physics]
(3) Geography
- read up topics to brush up memory
- do 1 paper, but not timed.
(4) A Maths TYS on Differentiation/Integration
(5) Chemistry
(6) read up practical

It should take up a good 5 hours? Well, i wont do them in order, but if i don't finish any one of them, i blame myself.

Maybe im not studying right.. how did i do well for PRELIMS?? :( im feeling more nervous now. Better sign off, before my mom gets even more enraged with me.

2008-10-10T21:50:00.002+08:00

Back home, and well, im super tired. And im getting my night sinus-es again. :(

Today was QSS Graduation Day 2008. It was quite sad. Time flied very fast, though I never thought it will. I've made friends, and actually i feel myself more mature than when i first stepped inside. I learnt alot of stuff, and im hoping it will stay with me for the rest of my life. I've lost friends i made in QSS, but they've moved on. And so have I. But only the great moments will be in my heart, for it's no worth remembering horrid stuff about a great place. Time flies fast, and it will still go at the speed of 1s/s. :P

Anyway, i wont post pictures, because otherwise my blog will be damn laggy. Signing off to sleep...

2008-10-07T16:04:00.002+08:00

Im so distracted!! ;( Only did an hour of work just now. Sometimes i wonder why I am slacking off now. Is it because my mind is so lethargic and sleepy? :(

Maybe im just too complacent. But i just want to do my very best. I put aside bus joyrides, bus pictures to try my best for these exams... I mean, i've heard from all over, 'This is the final lap". So im going to give it my best shot!!

I bet u, im wasting precious study time at home. But well, i don't feel the mood to study anymore. I just feel like SLEEPING. :( Maybe another nap won't do harm, but that means in the night, i have to work.

If i don't do well for these exams, my life is ruined. With regrets that I will never forget, because time is money. I dont want to be a failure... :( OR SOME lazy pig!

2008-10-03T19:44:00.006+08:00

HAAH! The last day of normal lessons is over, and it feels like we have no more meaning in QSS anymore... sigh, i''d miss those weird lessons in school. I'd miss the crappy times with friends. I know these 4 years have been hard. I've changed... for the better. I had a bad reputation in sec 2, because of my attitude. but probably, i found myself toning down alot. it wasn't self-realisation only. and well, the teachers, not all are great but a few are very good. Mrs Soh has been a very good form teacher this year, and she has helped me realise my potential. Mr Siah is one very hardworking teacher, if not for him, i won't be motivated to do history, really.. Other teachers that aren't mentioned are good too, but i can't really think of anything now..
And, well, though i called this school a living hellhole, i will really miss all my friends, because we've been through so much.

Sometimes... I wish I wouldn't do things on impulse... :( Today after school, went for lunch at mac. ok luh, after that, took 961 home, bathed and changed and went for pics.

I took pic of TIB442R, then i missed the bus by a little. So i decided, "hey, why not ride the bus?". So i stupidly did! Then at BP, i saw 536D. I missed the bus picture too. So unlucky lah! I missed 2 nice ad buses today!!! :( Ah nevermind, i got TIB526H pic to cheer me up. But my mom's gonna scold me, and I know why. I came home 2 hours later than I said. But i can only blame myself. 526H came to BB Int at 1730 on other days, but today that bus like vv late. So i reached home late lor, so its my fault bah.

F1 tonight, im probably goin to watch. My father's probably enjoying his $168 seat, haha. ahwell, i hope all goes well and the shuttles too! (:

Never do things on impulse. The feeling of regret will stick with you for so long that you'll get tired and eventually find ways to be more irritating.

2008-09-25T16:19:00.004+08:00

Another boring day of school is over! :) I just wish they would let us have the break now to allow us to study at home. I feel a slight pressure in my lower tummy. AH! :( Anyway, today went through papers, and just like I felt that in school, more time is wasted. Maybe im not as motivated anymore... AIYA! Im getting back to work soon lah.

Ok, since this is a private blog I might as well talk about my PRELIMs. I didn't get my aims, my parents expected it. But with the effort I put in, the results show. I probably studied more for History, A Maths, E Maths... Im not smart, but i remember alot of stuff. I don't regret anything.. Maybe it's good I met friends who didn't want me to waste time on hobbies or useless things. I got a 30plus for MYE because I wasted my time on buses, taking pictures ON EXAM DAYS and joyriding near exams. But now, because I realised that exams are important, I sort of like did better. I have to thank alot of people, my parents, Mrs Soh, Uncle Teoh (he's now my god-brother) (: , my tutor, my other teachers, Rachel, Hafiz, Desmond, Faizal, my classmates, my schoolmates for believing in me. (: It really helped, and well, i hope to work this hard or even harder for O's.

Anyway, after school, i felt worthless and bored... On my wat home, i thought taking TIB442R would help me cheer up. But it made me feel much worse. That uncle still jerks the bus. :( BLOODY MOTHERFUCKER! Sorry, if you don't know how to maneuver the bus, PLEASE DON'T HARM THE PASSENGERS SAFETY AND GO DRIVE A LESS-DEMAND SERVICE! Sheesh...
Then, i just remembered what horrible thing i did in April lah. I was talking to my driver friend, but think because of me, he lost control and nearly crashed. Then, Danial would KEEP on reminding me about it. I already feel bad lah! Sorry Dan, but I just keep feeling really weird when you keep mentioning it to others. Please just forget it ok? I keep thinking alot when you mention these things. I already apologised to him and I don't talk anymore when they are driving, because I don't want to get them into trouble, or get wierd look from pax. I also wouldn't talk to them much if they talk to me because like, they need to concentrate on e roads. And I'd rather talk during their break time or after work if they aren't busy or with their colleagues.. I mean, they dont talk to me during school, so why should i talk to them during their working time? AIYA, im just so frustrated about that bloody TIB442R SL. I already complained him, but he still does jerk. :(

TIB442R, please return to WLDEP... November, if the rumours are true, I'll see you back at WLDEP! (:

Bukit Batok (24/09/2008)
Uncle Teoh and Me

I am having a bad temper now. Maybe it's because i saw that guy at Bukit Batok. I was talking to Uncle Teoh and Rachel, then out of nowhere, tintin popped out. Then, i was like so frantic to get away, so i dragged both Rachel and Uncle Teoh out of the interchange. I felt very bad, but tintin
is just too annoying. Think when i told Uncle Teoh he was vv scared of my tone of voice, i was gritting my teeth! I admit, im irritating and annoying too, but when I see someone else so hyper about stuff, I feel like, "Yeah, it was cool. But so what?? It isn't that BIG a deal, sheesh...."
Ah, anyway, well talked abit then took pic with Uncle Teoh. (: And it was also the last time i'll be wearing QSS PE Attire this year... because today was the last PE session. :( Anyway, we talked about stuff, including about some complaint about 167 incident. it wasn't his fault, it was the bloody bus. Scanias have lousy brakes! :(
But really, Uncle Teoh is really like a god-brother to me. He even talks to me more stuff than my real brother does. And i feel comdy confiding in him, and he doesn't mind. I told him my results and he was quite pleased, and told me to keep it up for O's. (: And he treated us watermelon, it reminds me of TIB595H, the bus of brotherhood.

Ah, FRIENDSHIP through pictures makes me cry sometimes. It's very nostalgic and gives you that feeling. I guess friendship does bring people closer. In 2 weeks time, 10th October, it will be my graduation, and i'll be leaving my friends. I wont hear laughing, gasping, crap and all after that date. It really saddens me, after 4 years in QSS... but i enjoyed myself alot! I made friends, i lost friends, but I became closer to some and im glad to have come to this school. I am just praying the friendships in secondary school last longer... I hope real hard I'll be fine...

My bad temper just went away...

2008-09-23T17:49:00.006+08:00

Ah! Today was a really overwhelming day. I got back MOST of my results today. Without English, my L1R5 is a miserable 21, with a 15 as L1R4. AH! Im praying hard for a B. I couldn't really, believe it, but i expected it. My E Maths was a B3, and A Maths A2. (: Then, my History i got a A1, so utterly happy lah! Sorry, im just very very overwhelmed. My SS pulled down my Combined Humanities marks, :( DAMN YOU SS! AH!! Ohwell, it pulled alot of ppl's marks down. :( My CH grade is a C5, when i thought i'll get a A2, B3 or even a B4.
Umm.. basically I got 1 A1, 1 A2, 1 B3, 1 B4, 1 C5, 1 C6. Interesting right? :p Im hoping my english will be a B! (:

Results Breakdown
English Language P2: 31/50
Mathematics: 67% [B3]
Additional Mathematics: 70.5% [A2]
Physics: 61% [B4] {THE HIGHEST I SCORED EVER!! (: }
Chemistry: 53.5% [c6] {So happy to BARELY pass Chem]
SS w Geog: 59 [C5] {Stupid SS! :( }
History: 76 [A1] :D

So what else? Well, im back to studying again i guess, i can't lose the momentum now. I just have to work this hard or slightly harder to get to the courses I wanna get. Maybe im too confident now, but thats what i wanna get.

Ohwell, anyway im posting some pictures here... (:

Shing Effect early morning yesterday at C'Wealth Avenue Junction

Water + Cup + Panadol = I have a headache!!! :(

Singapore Poly Globe Stressball (: So adorable!! :D

2008-09-21T18:41:00.003+08:00

Weekend is over, how sad. :( I was beginning to enjoy myself even further!

Ah to heck with that! Basically, im just sort of abit inquisitive about F1s. Not only because of the racecourse, and whether the cars can speed along such narrow roads, but also because how the traffic flow can actually cause nightmares! And like, well, the two major bus companies of Singapore, SBS Transit & SMRT are doing the shuttles if im not wrong. Ah well, im hoping they wont make the crowd angry. (: But really lah, by taking a look at this map, i begin to think the race-track is too short.

From F1 Official Website:
More Information about F1 races can be found at http://www.singaporegp.sg/
http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/, http://www.smrtbuses.com.sg/, http://app.lta.gov.sg/corp_press_content.asp?start=2001

For people who are interested in seeing F1, have fun! (: Im not going for it... cars ain't my thing and F1 bus shuttles are too late to spot anyway, i'd rather concentrate for my O's. I hope those drivers driving the bus shuttles have fun, and pray hard traffic won't be overly heavy!

2008-09-20T19:13:00.010+08:00

Prelims have just ended. Results should be released on Monday (i hope!). Well, what I have to say, maybe I worked for my exams. I may have worked hard, but I certainly did not push myself. I know thats not the way to do well for the O's... Well, anyway, i had 2 days of carefree life. But after dinner today, im back to studying again. There's no point being complacent. Because this isnt the real thing, its just a 2nd rehearsal. Im just hoping to get like 15<25>ut.. My first experience on IKEA Shuttle. it feels very slow, relaxed and nice. BUT, after a while, it just gets boring! But TIB588D was nice lah! I remember taking this bus on 75, 173, 187, 970... memories... HAHA! Well, Uncle Teoh shared with me some things that I only learnt today, such as after SPM, he doing electronics which seems kinda ironic but cool!! (: Im still after Psychology! And, he's learning F1 Shuttle route!! AH! If he does get to do the shuttles, then thats great lah! But im not going to look for F1 shuttles... don't wanna remember that incident again...:( He did tell me something sad, but its a bus-related thingy... 789R's accident by the newbie. :( sigh....

I have too much free time. (: but i love that! :D

Today was Physics. The scary thing was that I could finish the whole paper. :S But if i pass, that will be a miracle, because of my explanations... If they don't make sense, what for get marks?

Then, after school, took TIB468S.. I was so shocked! I really was! He was from Queensway Secondary, class of '88. Like whoa! I was like "YAY! A senior I know! :)" He asked me if Miss Lee Ley Lun still there, i said yeah! He said at his time she was this skinny 40yearold lady, well now she's like 60 plus lah! HAHA! He said the school was located somewhere else or something about uniform. I can't remember. And he was in Band for ECA. (: First trumpet! So cool lah! He could have gone to SSO but didn't and is a SL. Ah nevermind, i bet he had a great secondary school life at QSS.
Then i also saw my primary school teacher on the bus, like she still looks as young! Miss Ng. Well, she wished me good luck for exams and that was it bah (:
Rachel boarded the bus later and really, we crapped around. But the transmission change in TIB468S is very sad. :( now she's just too 537B-ish. :(

Tomorrow is last papers!!! WHEE!!! (: Well, i prob will read up my stuff soon... hoping to pass well, and i hope it comes true too!

2008-09-17T19:18:00.003+08:00

Woke up from my afternoon nap. My throat feels damn dry lah! So well, today was A Maths Paper 2 and Geog paper.

When going to school, as I tapped my EZ-Link card on 173, they said use valid card. Then i realized, "OH SHIT! I forgot to top up concession again! :(" Then, when i got down from 173, i was too afraid to ask anyone for change for a $1. So when 61 came, i like asked around, but luckily a Fairfield Methodist boy had change (: But throughout the morning i felt very low, dont know why, not because of this but just felt very low. A friendly SL drove TIB630P on 61 today, wanted to chat with him but i had no mood... :( ah nvm, he's still very nice, so im happy :D

A Maths 2 was quite ok bah, but losing 35 marks is SO NOT. And im just hoping i wont lose more. :( there goes my A1. Paper 1 was like so easy bah, then NOW like i got no hope. :( sigh, im hoping for a B.. my A1 and A2 flew away...

Geog was ok lah, but i think for some questions, which only require describing, i go explain. =.= so sad lah! I did questions 2 and 4, shud be managable except that question about input and output which i think i answer wrongly. :( im praying a 30 plus for geog elective.

After school, went for lunch with Alvan and Divaagar at Mac. $4.50, then stayed there for nearly 2 hours or more. LOL! Then i took TIB442R home (: She sounds lively again! :D

If i fail tomorrow's paper badly, don't get upset. I somehow chucked this poor subject aside to study for others... but after posting this, i will go study(:

2008-09-13T19:36:00.002+08:00

Welcome to my 289th post! Well, i was hoping for something for more grand but nevermind.

I only studied like 3 hours today. Europe History and A Maths Paper 1 is on Monday. My A Maths, i just need to learn graphs and know how to apply some stuff. History, i think i need to brush up. more for SBQ if my SEQ falters.

Besides, that, i heard from my friend about something abit shocking. I mean, well, doesn't it feel weird when someone who you like and treat as a friend doesn't appear to be as trustworthy as what you felt he was? Well, I just heard of something that impacted me greatly. I don't know how to react when around them anymore. It's like so weird. If something bad is heard about anyone, I always am more cautious around that person. But i would feel very very rotten. Maybe it's for the best, I don't know.

And call me crazy. I may not want the exams to end that quickly. I don't have a plan for my goals. I only know 2 courses I like ALOT. Ngee Ann's Psychology and Child Education. But the thing is, what else can open up for me?? I guess only in January i'll know. But during that November break, what am I to do? I can't waste 24/7 on buses, i can't use computer/watch TV all day long!! Taht will be a good waste. Maybe im thinking too much of how to spend my Nov/Dec holidays at THE WRONG TIME! :( sigh... nevermind, im focusing my attention on my O Levels.

2008-09-12T20:25:00.003+08:00

The weekend is here. (: Time for excessive mugging i guess!! or... NOT! Im not the sort who mugs excessively, seems like my brain cannot tahan such torture!!! AH!!! Nevermind, im trying to calm down my mind.

How was today's papers?
Chemistry - Manageable... but i think i put alot of wrong answers... GONE CASE! If i can even get a C5, that will be a miracle! Im hoping to pass well for this paper. I guess now only paper 1 can gurantee me a pass!
Maths - AH! I can actually get a A1, if not for like 18 marks gone! Well, its like i left 5 marks blank, other 13 marks possibly gone due to mistakes, they dont seem careless but they are mistakes nonetheless...

So my weekend, i guess i can't use the computer as much. I would keep distractions away. My phone will be on offline mode, i wont touch the computer so often and i'll record tv until the prelims are over. Basically, its just i wanna see where i perform for the big exams. Because here's the scary thing, i don't know where i want to go! Ngee Ann's Psychology seems like a good option, but I want to see if other courses appeal to me, maybe more towards humanities-related areas. Either that, or i work hard for JC...

2008-09-09T18:23:00.002+08:00

Heh, something is making me feel both uneasy and abit skeptical. Well, im not feeling stable now.

Had chem practical exam today. I was too slow! I know, its like Miss Cheong makes us do practicals individually since sec3. But the thing is, no matter how, i am used to it but im just too nervous. I got lectured by her once, and well, i tried my best today. I really did. But some of my observations are weird, VERY different from others. :( i feel so low... maybe i should have LOOKED when stirring the conical flask, could see alot of stuff along the sides, gives away accuracy. :( BLOODY!

Something has really been on my nerve. Well, maybe on my nerve is too harsh. Anyway, ever get that feeling a friend you have is sometimes looked down on by others? And maybe, I know why that friend has bad qualities of his, but i don't give a damn about the bad qualities. I mean, his good qualities make him a good enough friend for me, and all i just have to do is just not to be too annoying around him. But i have second thoughts, what if I can find a better friend? But i don't want to. maybe im just expecting too much... i don't want the same thing to rise again. :( I guess what he does is good enough for me, and well, friendship should not escalate too far to a level where it just becomes obsession. It never should.

2008-09-08T18:30:00.003+08:00

hola people

PHYSICS practical today! The thing with the mirror, i think was ok. The ruler one, i think i messed up. I mean, how are you suppose to turn it towards you fully??? sigh... after we were quarantined, we were released due to lack of manpower. (: HURRAY! I had a terrible headache, so took a 2 hour nap. Then, went out to buy snacks at supermarket. took 734Z, the bus sounds HORRIBLE!!!. :( Then, at bukit batok, met rachel, but she was busy talking on e phone. So i talked to uncle teoh, like we talked alot of stuff. well, he told me to relax bah, he could tell i sort of was overwhelmed over exams. i wanna relax, i wanna do well, i wanna be more disciplined. :( WHY AREN'T I MORE DISCIPLINED?? Damn, if i dont do well now, the O's is the last chance to redeem myself...

sigh, i just wish the exams would just pass faster, I WANT TO BE FREE!!! I wanna do things i always dreamed of since january.

For the loyal readers, TIB468S - Service 970

2008-09-06T16:28:00.002+08:00

My stomach is having some funny feelings now! Ouh!!! Ouh!! Anyway, had 2 naps today, wondering if i will be so sleepy to get a third one! :S

I did like 1 A Maths paper and 1 E Maths paper. well, i guess after this i have to do chemistry. But you know what? I can never follow Miss Cheong's style of how to revise for chem. It's good, but it does not work for me. :( I tore my own work for Metals revision. sigh... Im like way behind time for my revision lah! I know i wanna get those good marks, but am i doing that much? :(

I feel pressurised. My parents, teachers, and even my bus driver friends want me to do well. It's hard to get jobs now, thanks to foreign talent and higher expectations for jobs. :( Well, the thing is, maybe when they were a teenager, things didn't seem as stressful. But now, it is. Competition... it's very scary. Well, what comforts me is what my mom told me, saying its because they care for me and only want the best from me. (:

But do I have a plan? I hope... My plan? Publish this post, go and study some history, then some chemistry.

2008-09-05T15:56:00.002+08:00

Buenas tardes!

Ok maybe im not the brightest in Spanish. HEHE! Nevermind, well i just went out for lunch with my father at IMM Fish and Co. Whoa, im like very full now, and im here typing feeling uncomfortable. >.<

Anyway, what else is new? Ah yes, I AM NEVER EVER going to get a job at a supermarket or departmental store!!! It seems so stressful and you must memorise alot of things, like where is this, where is that, manage the stocks and stuff. I mean, like today at Daiso IMM, it was sort of hard for my father to find what he was looking for, so he had to keep asking. Well, i sort of feel bad for the staff. Well, staff of every supermarket have to memorise everything at their fingertips.

Backtrack, for me, i don't think i can even remember the reactivity series at my fingertips! :( The problem is, my memory ain't so great at a random moment like now. So i guess I have to make ways to remember stuff like Metals for Chemistry... I guess i need to treat everything like something i like, makes it easier.. I used to relate buses to chemistry, but that didn't really work. I'd remember QA by TIB509H, Electrolysis by TIB527E, Redox by TIB472D etc. but well, i wont do that anymore, way too complicated. Signing off to do revision..

Adiós

2008-09-02T17:02:00.002+08:00

Hello people! It's been some time since the last post. My tagboard's deserted again. Guess that's either because everyone is studying or maybe I don't get much tags. :( oh well, I just recovered from a very bad flu. But i still am coughing here and there. Today i wasted alot of time on computer and TV. I only dedicated like 1 hour to studying so far. Well, after finishing this blogpost, im going to do a A Maths full paper, see if i can do it.

Today's study plan, well i hope it works. I don't intend to mug, but I wanna get L1R4 8. Which means I have to do really well in History, Maths, A Maths, SS w geog to get 4As. And i wanna get those 4 as A1s. With English as a B4.it seems impossible, but I will try. And i hope my love for buses wont affect my studies. I sort of grounded myself to prevent myself from wasting time on buses this week, except yesterday. Anyway, after PRELIMs, just relax for a while and mug for O's...

With this kind of preparation, I may not get L1R4 8. I just wish there was a way I can work super hard without any mental or psychological or physical barriers... :(

2008-08-31T11:15:00.002+08:00

It's 11am on a sunday morning, it looks really cloudy and im dreadfully bored at home!!! SAVE ME!!! Ah nevermind, its PRELIMS next week, i can't afford to not do well. I promised my parents, Mrs Soh, Uncle Teoh and myself i'll do well for exams. I only did a A Math full paper just now, except the graph. Well, it sucks to be grounded at home, with nothing to admire except distractions like the computer, television, the bed etc.

Anyway, i probably will go back to doing more work soon, after editing some pictures on my fotopic. Maybe i'll ask my parents for like 1 day if i can go out and knock myself silly. But i feel that i should be catching up on revision, not goofing off. Ah, i'll wait till after the PRELIMS to knock myself silly.. for a day... then intensive O Level revision. I wanna get into a JC!

2008-08-27T20:31:00.002+08:00

Queensway Secondary School has officially started it's Sec4 Express/5 Normal preliminary examinations! Well, i can say I worked my best for today's English paper. I chose to do about education system because, well, i know i may be a slacker, but I know indefinitely, we are being stressed due to high expectations by MOE. and well, i hope i can do well for EL Paper 1.

Sayonara people, im off to revise my SS now. Hopefully, i get a 35 or higher for SS component! :) That was a short post!

2008-08-23T20:25:00.002+08:00

GASP! GASP! COUGH! COUGH! Im getting that asthma attack today. :( bleh!

Today well, its my stay at home saturday. But the thing is, even when staying at home, it rains... nearly like 12hours of the time. So dull. :( And im like wheezing, coughing and gg to the toilet so often. It's vv irritating! :(

Ah nevermind, tmr im gg to doctor, see if i can use that nebulizar thingy to open up my lungs. I feel a sore throat coming my way! Damn! :( I guess i have to go and just see if i can get an MC. I feel very cold now, even when my aircon and fan aren't on. And i feel like im gg to cough out blood! :S

Well, aside my sickness, I managed to finish that A Math worksheet Mrs Soh gave. :) well, when i sign out, i am gg to practice SS SEQ from TYS. See if i can get 12m for the answers. And maybe after that, i'll do some chem... i hope tmr will be better...

2008-08-16T19:50:00.002+08:00

Something about myself is different now. I find that good, well i hope that whatever I am now will probably stay the way it is. Anyway, i'll just talk about Friday and today.

Friday was rather alright bah, i went to school, then had lessons, had recess. After the reading period, we did HeyMaths paper for A Maths, which was rather demoralizing! i MEAN LIKE the questions they ask are so hard!! After that,. the Physics Practical was even worse lah, need to balance something and make the newton meter horizontal? I think i messed up. After that, went to do some maths then went to relax for Oral.
The Oral topics are pretty much expected. My passage was rather alright, was about a girl and her disabled grandfather going to Britain trekking. The picture was about a disabled man being helped on a tour bus, by my interpretation. And the conversation, as I heavily predicted, was current events, and it was about environment! So i somehow bullshitted here and there, but some stuff is rather true, but seriously, i think i messed up my picture.
After the oral, took 970 with Fi and Chong Boi. It was TIB442R! :) But sadly, thanks to that ex-631L white-hair idiot, 442R has a weird sound! :( NOOO!!!! Damn it, i hope they fix the sound.
Went home, changed and went out for night study, I brought my geog stuff there, then like talked more than worked. OOPS! HAHA no lah, i did do what i wanted to do, and that's all that matters. Took TIB595H on 61, Uncle Teoh was driving. :) haha it was good to see him after so long, he treated me watermelon., then we talked for a while, then i went home. It was like, i think i missed out alot! And sadly, now he is based inside Woodlands interchange, meaning i now can only see him in Woodlands INT services, but i wont be like looking for him that much as WRI is 20-25 mins from my house, it's bloody far! Well, thats it for yesterday, totally overwhelming!

Today, was fine, well not really. I like slept during the time i was awake so i couldn't pass my bokken to Danial or Daud. AH! But nevermind, it's just that im grounded during exam periods so i cannot go out of my house, even if its this important. I watched Spongebob and Friends, then aft my 3 h nap, tried one A Math Paper. After my dinner, shall go and finish it. And probably i go and do Physics and perhaps SS.
I guess thats all bah, tomorrow im prob gg outside to study! (: shall try out a new area, i tried out JE Library, Queenstown Library, School Library, Danial's House, Daud's House, McDonalds near school, WRI Library. im gg to try out CGA! :D

2008-08-11T16:56:00.005+08:00

Hello, it's been quite a while, seems my blog is going to die again! HAHA no, i'll make it live. Anyway, this weekend seriously rocked! Friday night was great! I enjoyed myself with my bus enthu frens at the flyer area, and also like enjoying the polluted night sky! LOL. I finally got a pic of SMB1H on 190 (Mercedes Benz O500LE)!
SMB1H on Service 190

Saturday wasn't good. I wasted alot of time on TV and computer that I neglected my studies. Oh well, i cant take back time.

Sunday was better. I at first lazed on the computer then went out of my house for 173 pics. The when i came back, did some E Maths, A Maths, Chem and read some Physics. Well, yeah i accomplished my targets ytd.

Today, i went out like 8 hours! Call me crazy! Well, i did and i had a great time, even if i missed the premiums! I took TIB588D 173, TIB481C 961, TIB1154R 61, TIB567P 167, TIB546A 700, TIB528C 171, TIB522T 67, SMB1H 190, TIB496K 171, TIB1253M 178, TIB964B 77, TIB432U 173. And i didnt get much pictures but im posting some on my blog.
Well, im feeling really happy, maybe the happiest in my life. We had a spat, but we are friends again, well im just hoping i wont make the same mistake! :) and i better get rid of that bad habit.
And well, yeah i had alot of talking to by my friends, which somehow well, seem true. There is competition in this world, no matter what, every job is the same.... but well, it depends bah, i dont really agree that Chinamen will dominate the Singapore Workforce, even if the numbers are increasing. And well, i guess it's time i study... Today is one of the last times i go for bus spotting before O's. I enjoyed it greatly and i lived every second to it's fullest. Well, its time to go off. Byebye

Bye people, im taking a nap, and here's propaganda from SMRT again!
"Better by Bus, Better by Train"

Well, my mood seems pretty sour today. Well it is. I don't know, but i feel like something's totally wrong with my attitude. No matter like how much i try to change myself, people still tend to find me like some kind of irritating person. Ok, I admit i am irritating. I admit that i can be very annoying but i've really toned down alot from last time.
I sort of pissed off a good friend of mine in July, haven't contacted or spoken to him since. Maybe it's how i get myself across to people, it just doesn't seem so confident. So i guess people aren't so comfortable with that. I dare not do anything to contact him, until we meet my coincidence because things may not have worked out. But seriously, he is a real good friend of mine, well maybe now we may not be such good friends, but I can live with that, i hope. But if we can be friends, i hope not to repeat that mistake again ever, and maybe tone down on what im doing.
Just today, in school it seems like im treated like dirt or sometimes when i make one wrong move im always shot down. I don't know, maybe its my attitude. And like physics, i was like well, i had my friends there to support me but it just feels like everybody leaves me out. And i seemed real upset today. But well, thats life.

And maybe i don't really have close friends, but that's because im a guy. I guess guys don't build close friendships as easily as girls. I see girls talking and gossiping between each other, it seems they can build bonds better as they talk more about social stuff, fashion, hottest stars etc. but guys seem to be more interested in games and such. They rarely talk about personal stuff. But even so, i do agree, the guys in my school aren't really close to each other, maybe a few are, but majority are not. I admit, I have friends in school, but i may only call one or two my real close friends, even if our interests are completely different.

And now, i hate, and i really mean hate going to that purple building everyday. Not everyone in that place is bad, alot of people are nice, but im just not comfortable there, to live and such. But im fortunate that at least im not in a school where everyday is like Hotel Rwanda or in a class where loads of stuff are stolen. Im not boasting or anything, but im real glad to be surrounded by good teachers, parents and good peers. Oh well, i guess 3 months more wont hurt...

I wish that this silly thing will be forgotten and we can be friends again... and i hope not to repeat the same mistake again.. it keeps haunting me every now and then. i guess what u do that is wrong, bites you back twice as hard..

Buenos dias readers!

Hehe, im here to just blog about today? Hmm, i feel like i rarely do my daily updating but well, here goes one update. Well, today was well, if I look at the small picture, it was pointless. If i look at the BIG picture, it's still pointless. Well, if i remember the sequence of events, it was morning assembly, A Maths mock exam, recess, RW (revising chem), MT (revising chem), PHYSICS (well, i did learn abit about a.c. generator and d.c. motor), and SS (never listened because we learnt abt Venice rise in last lesson), prize presentation rehearsal and that was it.

I see my friends revising like crazy for this Friday's chemistry test on Organic Chemistry - Small Molecules. I am too revising, but not like hell. So im sort of worried. Anyway, yesterday i had an argument with my mother because i watched like 3-4 hours of TV. I know it's wrong, and she wanted me to know it. I was in the wrong, but besides that, maybe i should rethink my study times. I would rather study at home like lets say 30 minutes to an hour after i come home from school till Dinner then to study AFTER dinner like some freak owl. I am not like my friends, i cannot stay up late. And if i do, i probably get K.O.-ed by at the most 10-11. So if waking up at 4.-5am wont work, i might as well do work after i come home from school.
Speaking of that, im signing out now to do work. THIS IS evidence i am going to study. Note that, and i better stop my phone alarm from ringing the study reminder! BYE!

How long has it been? Seriously? I have been slacking my work, and somehow i am giving the impression to people that im working hard. IM NOT! I know im not. but it's just that my mind gets tired very easily. So? I can't do my work. On weekdays, thanks to school, im tired and worn out. On my Stay at Home Saturday, im actually motivated to work. But im just wasting good time on TV. But eventually, i do cover like 3-5h of work. My FREE SUNDAYS are abused... :( But i will make good use of my time now. And besides, i want to prove others wrong. People think i waste time on buses and computer and TV. Well, i do spend time, but i do not WASTE my time on those stuff. So well, im aiming for 12-points, to show others im smart and that im not a lifeless slob who only knows buses and who gets made fun of by some lifeless people.

Aside that, yeah I know, im somehow like pissed off at school everyday. Well, the teachers, not really, Miss Cheong is just damn pressurizing, Physics sucks and so on. As for social stuff, why do I even care? You know, when writing this, why do I bother what others make fun of me by? Their words dont mean a thing. Heh, now i feel that whatever i said was just plain silly. .

And today was the Blood Donation Drive. Somehow, because of the requirements, i checked that i was not eligible because of this. (Source: HSA Website):

You will not be eligible to donate blood indefinitely if you have:

Visited or lived in the United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man or the Channel Island) between 1980 and 1996 for a cumulative period of 3 months or more;

Anyway, that sort of ruined my chances to donate blood. Damn it, but im still hoping i can donate my plasma the next time. I know they said i cannot donate but im willing to donate my plasma. Im praying hard i can still donate my plasma next week, along with others who could not donate blood today.. (:

Well, thats all. My bus photos are at large again! hehe im taking more and more pics now. so im goin to post some here on my blog.
It's RIBENA Madness!!!

Whew, another day of school is over! And i only reached home at 7.40plus =.= damnit! I maybe should have taken 961 instead. And i do agree with what Rachel has said, "purple camp gets the damnest things". Why? Today i took 32 to the c'wealth ave bus stop, there was this girl crying, hugging tightly to her aunty or grandma or whoever. it was real scary, those Queenstown pri sch kids were standing and looked quite scared. But well, gotta feel sorry for the driver, he had to tolerate the crying. Maybe i dont know, but these kind of situations is never pleasant for anyone. After i got off, it was like umm... i took 61 which took uberly long time to come. like what? 20 plus mins, then 2 bendies and 1 rigid (1042E, 1199L and 503Z) came together. =.= So i took 503Z since it was the emptiest. Then went bbt then took 173 home.

Anyway, just received my PRELIM timetable. It's totally shitty. Exams from 27th August till 19th September! That's like 1 month you know! The normal exam usually only lasts 2 weeks right? But since there's practicals and stuff, well, it'll take longer. So that would mean, i wont have enough time aft PRELIM to revise thoroughly for the O's. So well, now is the time. 35 days left. And it's probably time I review my concepts and practise.. I am still aiming for L1R4 10, L1R5 16.

AH! The weekend's here and im loving it! Basically, i only did an hour of work so far. Sad right? But i finished the AM QSS 07 Prelim Paper 1 and Curve Sketching questions i never attempted (: nice right? haha. anyway, sometimes i feel, today is like one of those days, when i wont go for buses and just laze around in the house. It feels damn shiok i tell u! :) And somemore, the rainy weather adds to better sleeping. HAHA im going crazy now... And to me, this week of school was quite alright. somehow, im waiting for the progress report to come in, so that i can show my parents that i did work. 10; 16. It's hard, but im gonna work for it! And i shall try to find ways and stuff to help me get distinctions!

Ohmygod, why am i sounding so happy? Ah well, maybe im high on drugs! NO! Damnit, as im typing here, my heart is racing and is filled with happiness. :D Though im sad in some ways, im happy in others. Life allows many things to happen. For me now, my heart thinks, my brain listens. And im feeling like watching TV again, maybe Spongebob. :)

4 weeks are nearly going to be gone. And my blog hasn't been updated in like 9 days. So yeah, tests are coming, but slowly... somehow i dont know why, i want the tests to come faster! anyway, also, its like somehow i feel im performing better in schoolwork. maybe its because im putting more of my heart and soul into studying. (: Anyway, somehow i may adapt to school again and may feel like its not really a bad thing to go bad to the hell everyday.

I guess it's also about time, time i took a break from buses. I know buses is my hobby, but i think i've been bus-spotting too much. And it affects me sometimes, in ways i dont want it to be. So i guess this weekend i'll just stay at home, enjoy myself and do some work. Im actually aiming for 4 distinctions! But whether that's possible, that's another story.

My previous posts... can i say crap? Maybe in my past, i think too much. I VALUE and somehow GET OBSESSED with friendship. No wonder my life now seems so fucked up. As what is pointed out by many, i just create unnecessary stress for myself. anyway, seeing things as it is, my blog is dying and it may die eventually. not to say many people read it, but i still am gg to keep it private. better go off and do some good work. cya ppl!

2008-06-13T19:35:00.010+08:00

Today, well its a good day. Really, i enjoyed myself alot. and tomorrow im off to Petaling Jaya to visit my grandma.

Actually, today didnt work out the way i wanted it to. But well, it happened. I took 173 to BB Int, then i call my SL fren uncle teoh, well he said 6 o'clock start. so i tot i'll jalan jalan. then turns out, he ended at 3pm! well i felt sad because i studied like an hour before going out. then i met some other SLs bah, quite nice they are. (: asking if i wanna take their bus. Then out of nowhere, i saw Uncle Teoh at BB Int to fill out something because of a retarded 966 complaint. -.- anyway, he and i talked for a very very long time, he really is tired. tired of me complaining and saying i'll study when i wont. Well, i shall put a extract of what he told me during that lecture of an hour.. i modified it and here it is: “don’t take my bus everyday, but I welcome you to take it when you can, as long as you study hard at home. Don’t think so much, it’s no good, you only 16, don’t think the many things. Im an adult, I must be the one who think more because I got more things to worry about.! And don’t have too many friends, later you cannot study how? And don’t just say you will do, DO IT Don’t let the habit die! And you think all the silly things, it’s not worth! Your parents love you so much, give you 6 hours to go out! it’s more than enough. And if u don’t know how to do maths or other subject, if you are not confident, go for tuition or ask your father and mother. Valoon, don’t think many things. I am very tired to read your sms or get your call when you say you are sad. I don’t want to read anymore because it’ll happen again and again! Don't end up like me, i failed my Malay SPM. BUT when im 16, i didnt think much, i just study hard and play hard. Open your heart, don’t think the many thing. And study!! Don't promise me anything, promise yourself, promise your heart... don't study for me, study for yourself... You can do it! :)”

Well, thats it bah, no point tiring him out.. After typing this post, im going off to study, because i realise, advice needs to be followed. And it's not too late for me to change, so im going to CHANGE MY ATTITUDE NOW! Well, i better just study for myself... and at the end of it all, all parties will feel good. (: so how the hell am i going to do 5 hours of work everyday??? anyway, 3 months, i want to get to a good course, so i better work for it!

OK Picture time!

I am so stupid. I feel like what, i say things which i never do. What the teachers said was right. The June Holidays are meant to catch up on work. But well, i have been lagging. I have been joyriding on buses more than im studying. It's not that im not studying, im just not doing enough. I want to go out everyday, i want to have that privilege, but i guess, its at times like these i realize, EXAMS are IMPORTANT! I dont care, VARUN NAIDU's going to CRASH COURSE HIS REVISION TODAY!!! And nothing is going to stop me! All i need, motivation and a spark of care.

Buses may be important, they may make up majority of my life. But i know, my parents care, my friends care and so do my teachers. But do i care? I wish i did, well i better stop grumbling and sign out for work to be done. Bye! I wish i can work as hard as Lionel... :(

2008-06-07T20:48:00.002+08:00

Time goes by very fast. Though at the instant, it feels really slow. I think too much. I really really think so much. My friends feel im thinking about so many things. But its something i cant stop. I cant stop racing thoughts! and well, i have a splitting headache! ugh!

Anyway, maybe its time, its time to realise something that cant change within humans.. HATRED. i know among friends, deep inside there are hates against me, or other people. maybe it affects me because i worry, for myself i feel whats the use of being friends with the guy if i am being hated? iif its one of my close friends being hated by the majority, i'll feel bad because why must they hate him/her? He/she is a great person from what i know, maybe not as a group but as an individual. im guilty of this too. but i dont base prejudice against anything, because i learnt from television that stereotyping isnt good.

And lastly, i know why MOST people in Singapore dont have good values. Blame the MOE. Im sorry to say this, the MOE heavily emphasizes on academics to get good jobs, sustain a good home and etc. The failure to put Civics and Moral Education into importance. It's 1% of the teacher's fault. But the other 99% lies with the school and the MOE because they fail to teach students how to be a good person out in the real world and what to do and not. Because in Singapore, ACADEMICS DETERMINE YOUR LIFE, courtesy is rare, and people can't show compassion here because they simply didn't learn how to be! sigh, if only MOE places a high emphasis on CME in a way everyone can enjoy it, not by project works (unnecessary!) or CIP, but through teaching and showing good examples to students and teachers so that they can learn.

2008-06-04T21:58:00.004+08:00

sigh... i just experienced something so sudden that i dont feel like doing certain stuff. I usually joyride on me fren's bus wherever he is on any service. But tomorrow i just dont want to, i want to be at home, rest, relax, catch up on my revision and other stuff. Maybe it is time, its time for me to listen to advice. I have to tone down buses now before it's too late. I dont care if there's some rare cameo like that 75 UD today (which i saw), i just want to make sure i can get into a good JC or Poly. Maybe its good to rest at home, reflect on how i can do my job as a student better. I know my SL fren wants me to do well and study hard, go to a good school and get a job, but well, i love buses, but i guess everything has it's limits.

I end this post by saying, i shall me home 24/7 tomorrow for the first time ever since May (: HURRAY! And doing the right thing isnt easy, but it feels good. At least my SL fren knows im doing me work so he'll feel relaxed doing his job, and i wont have to bug him tomorrow! (:

Sigh, too bad this cutie isnt doing 188 or 61 anymore.. Best of luck on Orchard Road, TIB492X!

2008-06-01T18:55:00.003+08:00

This is my 265th post... sigh. I am so pressurized. But for the wrong reasons... maybe its just i am surrounded by so many distractions.

At school, i am not so distracted, but im really pissed off when people call me some racist retarded immature name which im not. Even they link me calling me what, some stupid name =.= IM NOT A j**. Sheesh, i mean give me a break, i got a name, VARUN NAIDU! Call me that instead of some *e*. You're making everyone else call me such a disgraceful name, and im not a **w. so just change my name please. im saying it here because im not some stupid GayHari who would assault you for putting content on your blog. i am just saying here, please just call me Varun, not some retarded jew. im not a jew, and if u call me that, does that make you a better person? is it even funny?

At home, my family is alright... my house is conducive to study in. BUT, when my dad's in the living room, ON goes the TV, ON goes the panasonic DVD player. When my brother is doing work in the living room, he will put Led Zeppelin's music on the DVD player. And when my mom's cooking, the radio will be on. Knowing i am easily distracted, i try not to listen, i just focus on my work today. I tried to do a full-length Paper 2 given by my tutor. I was stumped and nearly blanked out. I know what i haven't practised. Im going to HeyMath to download Vectors and more Circle Properties. After writing this post, i guess im going to look at pictures and sign off to do A Maths.
Maybe now its a good time to put down the time i studied today:
0555 - 0730 Physics
0900 - 1030 E Maths

The last thing before i sign off. Well, i get to do stuff, its a privilege, but really, are privileges meant to be lived to fullest? Well, i am just saddened by some stuff.. Maybe i put too much time into buses instead of working hard. Buses will be there for 17 years, but my O's wont. And i will work hard, and well, i wont permanently stop bus-ing like the poor boy who stopped playing WOW. Nevermind, its all about discipline!

OK, blog finally updated. HAPPY??

Sheesh, im not that free you know... but i admit, im guilty of forcing ppl to blog before... Nevermind... anyway alot has happened. and I somehow am really pressurized and pissed off with alot of stuff. But i'll talk abt stuff i wanna talk abt...

G.C.E. O Levels
It's crappy.. but we all have to do it. My SMRT Service Leader frens want me to put my best effort into my studying, even if that may cause me not to be able to take their bus whenever i can. But i promised Mrs Soh, a 10L1R4 and a 16 L1R5 for PRELIMS.. Well, im signing off soon to do my revision.... Anyway, so far i've been doing geog, physics and A or E Maths for 2-4 hours everyday... well i will do soon.

Holidays
Well, i agree.. All my SL frens wonder why are we having to go back to school with them doing school holiday schedule. Crappy right? Anyway, at least we dont have such horrible holiday schedules as Zhonghua Secondary School... But well, i dont have that kind of mood to go back but i know, its for our own good.

Buses
It's something i love, bus-spotting. Well, over the course of this hobby, i met friends, i met people who are worse than me, buses who are good and buses who are bad. And well, im somehow beginning to like SBS Transit buses again. (: Being so much into SMRT Buses seems so boring.. Anyway, now i get at least 6 hours to go out, sure it may seem alot but its very little for me. But since its O's, i wonder, do i have the right to complain?

Handphone
My handphone chargers have all spoilt. :( and my crappy N70 can only charge and live for 1 lousy day!!! :( DAMN! Anyway, though i intensely hate the phone, i admit, it makes calls easily, and it does wayy good recordings of buses. And for text messages, though the text is v v small, at least its fast. Im hoping to get a new phone this weekend to save the trouble of using my mom's handphone charger. She was intenting to give me her N6288, but i said no because she needs the phone incase my family needs to call for emergencies..

Friends
I havent been keeping in touch with old friends... :( it seems im so hyped up over buses and my current friends that i havent really chatted with my primary school friends. Well, it feels quite bad to abandon friends, but well, i hope it will be alright soon...

That ends my rants....

I dont feel motivated... I really feel like well, being empty. I got back everything except english. Expected to fail my sciences, i did. I didnt expect to do well in History, but i did. But i expected myself to get a good mark for geog elective, but i didnt. 04 didnt do v v well for geog. even those good ones didnt pass. i think its because of how we saw the qn. :( and all my fails for subj are BORDERLINE fails, nothing higher than 635, nothing lower than 43%.
Passed: A Maths, History, SS w Geog
Failed: Chem, Physics, E Maths

Anyway what else? Maybe it's not the time to sob, not the time to turn back time. This isnt the O's. So why bother worrying so much?? Anyway, im more worried if i fail English
. And even with that extra 4-5 periods of MT free for me, i can still fail subjects. :( tmrw i dont care, i shall bring smth to revise on! Im signing out... Wonder if i can get new phone by end of MAY. :(

EMO BUS. When i feel very down or sad, this is one of my 3 most reflective buses. A former 970 perm, now she's on 173, a direct bus to my house. (: And now, she advertises Marigold Non-Fat Yoghurt Drink!

FINALLY!!! Im updating my blog since like i dunno when. HAHA it feels good to be typing in this weird white box.
I took 961 (TIB500G) from Beuty World, then at MINDEF junction, the bus banged into a taxi. But the SMRT Nissan Cedric had a slight dent in the rear. Maybe the driver was stressed bah, he apoligised to all the pax. Then at WDL, when i god down, i saw impact of the bus, the front bumper is inverted inwards!! :( radiator was save thankfully. hope they dont remove her merc badge!! It's like the impact of a bang is so sudden, that it feels so scary! But thankfully nobody scolded the driver.
Maybe its stressful being a driver of any kind. My SL fren, Uncle Teoh, drove TIB878S (bendy) ytd. He had to horn 40 times in 4 hours at various cars along 980 route. sometimes i feel motorists are real goondus, who really have no consideration for lives of others, even with various traffic rules and regulations.
PLEASE SPARE TIB500G from doom of wheel rim cover removal and Mercedes-Benz badge removal. just fix the front bumper please AMDEP.

So what? Exams have nearly ended, nearly all impt papers gone. I am disappointed that I spent time using com like 70% and study 30%. well, i wont be surprised if i come to see many C5s to F9s
come next week.. But i was revising my History SEA. somehow doing revision feels good, but to get yourself started it really is hard. For me, its using com that gets me so addicted i cant get myself to study. So what now? I cant make myself more disciplined at 7.33PM, except to get myself out and study.

But let's set that aside. I just got this letter from RP. Not sure why, but well i shall ask Victor if i should go for it. Hmm, i wonder what will be my future school life be like. NP, RP, NYP, SP, Jcs if i do well?? But i have to do well. i cant be getting L1R5 of 36!

Anyway other pics, just 2 pics of buses bah.

LUMIX (left)

My camera is now de-registered. Im serious. Today was the last day i could ever lay hands upon it. Now its beyond repair. I damaged it somehow, but along the way, it was already breaking apart. It served as a very good camera to me since 2004. I didnt name it. But i always refer to my camera as LUMIX. My lumix has been really a great camera. I have taken tons and tons of pics, not just bus pictures, but other kinds of pictures with that camera. Im only hoping that my dad will let me use the spare cameras we have at home. He said no. but why?? i mean, i dont have to learn loss the hard way if there's a spare that has been untouched for over a year right?? :( sad, i hope my temp. camera will be good to me. no more video recordings... its a thing of the past. I can only do audio now, as lumix has passed her life expectancy.
Ohwell, im glad LUMIX has been through alot. She's been to Europe, Vietnam and Malaysia. She has been under my care since 2004. I know my father'll be real sad at the loss of a v v good camera. But it's either she dies painfully now or i suffer much later. Maybe it gives me a chance to go out less, though i doubt i will lah! But i must let myself know, my friends are encouraging me to do my best. My teachers too. I shall strive to work much harder than what im doing now. 2 hours of revision now. going to start SS revision soon bah. A Maths i finished LOG! (: Now its on coordinate geometry A Maths.
Anyway, i hope after mid-year i can get a new phone and a new camera. I want both! But all i have to do is PROVE i can do it. A Maths proving is only easy some of the time. but at other times, its not. The same applies to real life. If I can prove i can do it, i can get these 2 desired objects.

Im really tired, but i feel better now. Had to go home at 1145am because i had migraine. Well, at least i feel not as tired. I think because of speech day, i had lack of sleep, even though i didnt march.

So yeah, anyway now im finally starting PROPER history revision for unit 4.1 SEA. I need to get the tests from XiaoDan or anyone else in 401. And i need the newer notes. I need to crash course the revision for history because i wanna get a B4 at least, the best an A2. I wanna see if Friday Mr Siah is free for consultation.

Anyway, Chem is really really utterly stressful. I mean, you need to remember tons and tons of stuff. Reactivity series, solubility table, cations/anion charges, QA, VA, redox, steps on titration, so on. Miss Cheong is an experienced teacher. I somehow dont know bah, she tries to help us, but its like her expectations are super high, because she taught in RVHS and NUS High before. :( Anyway, i just hope bah, i really really dont want to drop pure sciences. I want to get into a JC because i intend to do something in the transport ministry or nature society when i grow up. So i guess no more slacking. Today 2 hours on com, and like so far 30 mins of revision only. Nevermind, i'll go off now and revise. Im gg for the band concert tmrw, just see how our school band perform Hopefully i get to take 106 rigids like TIB539X, TIB611U and TIB521X. Those are good 106 buses.

Hi everyone. 14 days of abandonment. But im back. Yes, this blog will still be private. I dont dare to put it as Public, or ELSE! So alot has really happened over these 2 weeks.

Celebrate Life with SMRT
You know in all SMRT buses, there is a poster on "Celebrate the Best of Life with SMRT"? Well, it happens everyday of our lives, especially frequent SMRT commuters like me.
On Friday, after speech day, i was waiting for a 61, took more than 20 mins to come. =.= and the bus that came was TIB1120M, a bus with the SMRT Celebrate Life ad. (Pic posted later on).
Then today, i was waiting for 961. i missed the 1405 bus, so i waited purposely for TIB536D. the 4 buses came at 1405, 1425, 1437, 1450. That's how "wonderful". 961 is with it's crappy frequency on weekdays.
And im not very impressed, but i am happy SMRT has improved 970's frequency. Even if it's no longer controlled by Woodlands Depot, the improvements made to 970 are miraculous. They have not 2 extra, but now 5 extra buses during PM Peak hours, good right? it's frequency seems to have improved like 5%. Even with it's sucky buses and drivers, i am happy that the frequency of the service has improved through various feedback from the public.

TIB1057M on 851. Showing people how to celebrate life after a heavy downpour. =X

TIB1118X on 190. A high-demand service wants people to celebrate cramming on buses. :P

TIB1120M on 61, showing people how slow 61 bendies can go.

Exam Stress
Well, its not a joke. 24th April is English Paper 1. 2nd May is the rest of the papers. I am only studying like an hour or less a day. :( Sometimes i do 2 hours. Damn, with this kind of slipshot work in sec3, i can at least pass. But in sec4, i need to do way way more if i ever want to pass. I must have that inner voice to tell me to do more revision. Well, my distractions is also my relaxation. Buses. Well, i am going to stop photographing buses after this weekend, as I dont want to be wasting precious time delaying time. Well, after this post, gg back to blogging.

My Bus Hobby
Well, this weekend i plan to make it my last bus joyriding/photo weekend. Because the MYE is around the corner, i can only spare 1 more weekend before the exams start. I am only after the 961 AMDEP buses. TIB481C, TIB494R, TIB500G, TIB536D, TIB765J. But can i actually get all 5 by this week on that svc? Wish me serious luck! :)

This blog was abandoned for nearly 2 weeks, well its alive again!

Im gonna die. NAPFA is tomorrow, im still very fat and haven't exercised abit. Ah i feel so lazy, and i want to and need to overcome alot of obstacles. I HATE IT!

I feel so worthless when not studying. Ytd all i did was read the chemistry notes, today well, will the same thing happen again? I hope not! Well, after wiring the blog entry at 8.30pm im gonna go and do some note-making and revising for Chem, thats like a subj i never tackled at all, besides SS. Anyway, i see my frens who are slightly plumpish, they exercise hard. Sigh, but well, i cant exercise with ppl, i just dont feel right. Well, i know im going to fail tomorrow's NAPFA, thanks to the pull-ups. But i only promise myself, not to fail badly, get reasonable points. And i know that can be achieved for 3 of the stations, leaving standing broad jump outside. My muscles are shaking...

OK, sidetrack, well my mom said she'll buy me that book i wanted. :) well thats vv nice. wish i can give her smth in return. And hopefully, soon i'll get my Mini-SD 2GB memory card for my phone, YAY! I can store more songs/music/pics inside :D And my N70, im starting to like it more, except for the scratch on it and the fact battery only lives for 1 freaking day. :(

Well, i guess i better convert somemore bus recordings into MP3s before 8,30 tonight.

2008-03-17T19:34:00.009+08:00

The first day of the school term. Well, got back only 1 test, the english argumentative essay. I got 19/30. Quite happy but well, somehow its like i feel i could have gotten more marks. Anyway, well tonight i guess i have to finish the file. Can't always make Mrs Wong wait.

And somehow, i got the strangest feeling that i may have misplaced some of the ppl's wkbks. Sigh, i hope they don't get lost. :(

Well, im quite tired today, and somehow i got to say this before i publish this post. During the holidays, well my parents sorta forced me to do my revision, and i am happy with that. Im happy they care enough to force me to do revision. But im not pleased with the fact that well, if i do lets say 2 hours of revision i cant go out for 8 hours. :( i mean, well, fun cant be proportionate to studies. Because the less you study, the more u go out. The more you study, the less you go out. ok, enough of proportion =.= I have been doing revision for the past 9 days during the holidays, usually an hour, once was 2 hours and once was like 20 minutes. :( But anyway i would just wish they wont shorten my time to go out if i do like 2-3 hours of revision on weekends. Why can't they let me do my hobby if i already helped myself study for the exams? And at this point of time, i somehow see what Uncle Teoh, my bus driver fren, wants me to be. An office worker in Shenton Way, possibly those accounting and admin jobs. But i guess i have to go the JC route for that. I wonder, i dont believe im a white collar person, more of a blue collar, but i guess if i want to survive on Earth, white collars are better. So what can i do? Revise more loh. And my study plan is like an hour on weekdays (excluding hmwk) and 2 hours on weekends for these 2 weeks. Hopefully it'll work. Maybe i shall just start sec3 topics.

Before i end this post, well, from 23rd March something massive is happening. SMRT Bus redeployments. So yeah, i am very saddened by this. And i did write a letter to the ST forum about how bus captains should be better paid too. But since they haven't responded yet, i'll put down my letter here. Hope Today does respond. Please DO NOT criticize the letter.

Bus Captains should get better pay
"Now that Singapore is going to hire people from China to the land transport, I personally feel that the companies should treat the bus captains better now instead of resorting to alternative solutions that are not long-term. The alternative solutions are not long-term because the China workers may not be able to converse with the locals if they are unsure on how to pay the correct fare and how to get to the correct destination.

I personally feel that our Singaporean and Malaysian bus captains work long hours everyday. They only have 1 paid mealbreak, their rest time is usually 10 minutes or less and they only get 1 rest day a week. Other than that, they get off days fortnightly, which is not fixed.

I am a student who takes SMRT service 970 regularly to school. The bus captains are very polite and are very patient. They would wait for the elderly to sit down before moving off. They would also greet and smile at passengers as they board the bus. To find such genuine service from them is to bring comfort to the commuters. The bus captains also take care of their buses well, as I do not see any 970 bus dirty. I am very impressed with how the bus captains maintain their buses well. Even though these bus captains would not be driving 970 from 23rd March on this service but on other services, they do provide great service to commuters.

I feel that doing so much for the public and getting so little pay is not justified.

I hope bus captains will get better pay from their companies as they really provide a great service to this country and truely, it brings a good image of our country as it shows our locals have courtesy and are willing to go the extra mile."

Besides that, im also sad because TIB442R can no longer go to Commonwealth Avenue, which im happy for in a way, but that means i cant take her home from school unless i transfer to 173. A 970 Woodlands Depot farewell video will be posted on my blog some other time.

OUCH! Ugh i shaved like 2 hours ago. Then i somehow managed to make myself bleed in 4 different spots on my face. Now i got this stinging feeling. It didnt feel like i shaved too hard, but then suddenly blood keeps coming out. And i was so stupid just now, just scraped off that hard thingy, think its called a scab. Anyway now my neck is bleeding like crazy, near my adam's apple. That spot somehow always manages to bleed when i shave. =X OUCH! And eew, im tasting my own blood. Ok, that was weird.

Anyway besides the fact im suffering from shaving, well i have been studying during the holidays. Mind you, it was forced by my parents. Like i had to do 1 hour of revision before i go out, then 1 hour when i am back. But they say its not proportionate. Well, i agree. but does studying and bus joyriding/pics have to always be in proportion. SIGH! but i dont know, i cant be disciplined. I have been like joyriding 7-8 hours everyday when there's no school. It worries my parents. But you know, i just like this passion. And i would just say that FROM tomorrow onwards, i should be putting more soul into my revision. Maybe an hour a day first for school days. then i guess i'll increase along the way. I still do have buses to catch, but i am done for most of them bah. I can't always be after buses. ..

2008-03-11T21:42:00.002+08:00

I am blogging so late in the night, my tagboard's deserted.. And im feeling high and low. ANd quite tired too. Am I really being too obsessed with my hobby? Today i spent 11 hours outside my house, if that's already not scary. Tomorrow im aiming to get alot of buses, but im worried i will not study. Today i studied A Maths and did some of the titration hmwk. Tmrw it shall be Physics.. Im hoping my mind wont play tricks on me, i dont want to regret my results or my pics. i wanna accomplish great achievements in both. So tomorrow its study first, like today. I just need to let myself know its my future ahead of me, not the buses. They have to wait, and it'll pain me to miss some ads, like how i missed great pictures if TIB441T, but i get over it. I really need the mind to work on its own, to say "Hey, study first!! And cherish the times u have now! Because after April, it'll worsen."

Sigh, when will my mind work to study first? :( I dont need nonconstructive comments, but i will work for what i want. now its only the beginning. I am studying every day but only 1-2 subjects a day. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day...

WARNING: The content below contains offensive, insultive, criticizing and pissed-off feelings. Developing a thick-skin and keeping your insults to yourself is advised. The content below is more insultive than that of any of my friends, as it is a serious post. not those humorous posts they put about insulting anyone they please.

It's like, I feel that anyone shoots me down whenever they like and they think they are superior to me. No, just because you can do something i can't doesn't mean im dumb. And to add on, for those who think that i am annoying and that you are better than me because im pathetic, think again. Im not pathetic. I show myself as a depressed person because i really am. My mind works that day. So deal with it. And giving me the cold shoulder is also not very nice. Giving anyone the cold shoulder shows that you are immature, that you can't see that forgiving and forgetting can be done.

And well, the thing is, i try to cheer up. I try to listen to all my fren's advices. But even with that, i just cant seem to put it to use. I am like feeling low because im a target for being insulted. Somehow its like where's the maturity in a person when they make or poke fun at someone? It's not there. I make jokes, but i don't direct it to people. Have you ever seen me making fun of my frens before? No, i only do that to teachers, buses =X Anyway, its just alot is happening now, im not pleased with anything. Im damn stressed with the O's. I was the 3rd last in my class. Want me to say it out again? 3RD LAST IN CLASS FOR JAN/FEB. It's like so stupid, just because i never studied so much. In january i failed nearly everything. In Feb i only failed A Maths. But im happy i made the improvement.

And what else? Well, its like that i wanna go out with my frens tmrw but i have second thoughts. I maybe am deciding to bail on my bus enthu frens. I mean like, to me whenever i feel sad i'd rather go for the bus then them. It's like some sort of force. But are my bus enthu frens nothing? NO! I really treasure them alot. Like i treasure my bus driver frens. But im just worried i pit my sch frens first. I mean, why do I? My sch frens just make fun of me and even with their advice, they still go at it. SIGH, well, which is more important? Cheering myself or cheering up somebody else's feelings?? :( Im really sorry about today, i didnt mean to be selfish and go joyriding on my own before meeting you guys. And im really hoping you cheer up. I can't bear to see you pissed off...

2008-03-06T20:55:00.003+08:00

I missed 3 days of school. Well its not because i skipped on purpose. I am down with flu bit its going away pretty fast. :) And somehow i never realised being at home can be interesting too. :) Well, yeah i want to talk abt something that really struck through my heart.

Every company has different sets of depots. For SBS Transit, they have 6. For SMRT they have 3. Let's focus on SMRT. They have 3 depots:
1. Kranji Kepot (KJDEP)
2. Woodlands Depot (WLDEP)
3. Ang Mo kio Depot (AMDEP)

In terms of where buses come from, they come from the depots. But thats not the point. From 23rd March, Services 173, 177, 852, 859 will become fully WLDEP. And the sad thing is, Services 75, 700, 970 from WLDEP will go KJDEP. That means no more TIB442R. But seriously, i would prefer her to go to a WLDEP service from that day, instead of going to KJDEP. I want no bus to be transferring depots, but i just wish buses dont transfer. And from that day, im guessing i WILL NEVER take 970 to school and out from school willingly. Why? I gave no idea who the drivers are going to be, if they are the 173 drivers then no way. I'd rather take 173 and transfer to 61 to go to school.

So whats my wishes? TIB430A, TIB433S, TIB442R, TIB443M, TIB446E, TIB468S, TIB469P, TIB471G, TIB472D, TIB474Z, TIB546A, TIB556X, TIB590X, TIB595H, TIB734Z, TIB738M, TIB740E, TIB744U, TIB788T, TIB789R, TIB809S, TIB968R, TIB977P, TIB1062Y don't get out from WLDEP. They deserve to remain, but whatever the outcome on 23rd March, i will never think of SMRT in the same way ever again..

And where will the drivers go? They would not drive the same services again, but i wish them the best! :)

2008-03-03T21:07:00.006+08:00

I've gotten flu today bah. I guess getting caught in the rain has bad effects. Damn... its like i am sneezing every minute like 5 times. And at first my nose is runny, now its blocked. And i had to take Panadol for Cold/Flu Relief. But too bad effects isnt instant. :( Anyway, i failed the english test, quite disappointed. i got 19 at first but then later on managed to secure 1 mark, so i got 20/50. Well, it isnt a bad fail now. Anyway, E Maths test i passed quite well, 21/30. Was quite surprised, the graph helped me to get the mark. But well, 04 had the extra 10 minutes. If not for the extra 10 minutes, i think i would be halfway through the graph and would have failed.

Anyway, studied for some time bah, for the physics test. Somehow i feel like not studying for the differentiation test. But i know i cant fail it. It's usually all about concept. Well, according to 01 and 05, the test is on Friday.

Anyway ending this 242nd post with some pictures. The only recent one is the TIB594K on 970.

2008-02-29T16:41:00.004+08:00

Can I say something now? School seemed quite worthless today. And no, im not saying it because of the MT periods. Im just quite unhappy, and somehow, no matter who i tell this to, it doesnt come out the way i want it to.

I am like, being made fun of in school, being called some bloody fucked-up name "jew" by ppl, and the funny thing is, some ppl just dont care. its like i know its meant to be a joke, but well, im trying my best to hold my feelings in. That public caning in school today impacted me alot. I have somehow learnt violence never solves anything. Well, i learnt that last year but its good to learn it again. But anyway, back to this. Somehow its like when two not-so-good frens started it last year, it was not fun. Then this year, somebody learnt more to make fun, and soon all the ppl in the grp all think im some kind of "jew". They dont even understand its not funny to use that kind of a word to make fun of me. but i cant get mad at them, they are my frens, who well possibly want to just make fun because they think i am retarded(i dont disagree). But it just saddens me that after all the while i knew them, they somehow cant see that such a word can hurt my feelings. "Jews" were seen as evil by Hitler-lovers... thats why i feel offended because people think i am one bloody "Jew" even if i am not one.

Sigh, i just wish there was just a way out. I dont want to have to hear that word, or even the other 3 words. Why am i always like the outcast? I like buses, but that makes me unique. I don't OPENLY talk about buses to evrybody, maybe only to 1 or 2 ppl at one time. I am maybe a selfish guy, but why cant anyone see how i feel?? Im being made fun of in school, and my friends think its funny to say that word. That word is evil, and if they blame South Park's Eric Cartman, then stop saying it! That fucker Eric Cartman isnt a good influence, he even killed somebody's parents. Do you want to end up like him and live as someone hated by everybody?!?!! I cried in school but no one knew because it was short-lived tears. the stupid word really hurt me alot. but i dont think its worth telling anyone, nobody should care about some worthless person who is retarded, dumb, stupid, crazy, fat... :(

2008-02-26T21:12:00.003+08:00

How long has this blog been left deserted? Hmm but i deserted not because im studying l;ike mad everyday, but its because somehow it slips my mind to blog. But anyway here goes for blogging!! :)

Well, i wont blog in terms of days, but well alot of interesting stuff is happening right now. And some stuff i believe should just be written here.

SMRT Announcements
The new voice, im sure alot of you have heard it. One of my frens cant stand it because she is incoherent, and also her icky voice prevents him from enjoying Mitch Albom. Sadly, i recorded nearly every station's old voice. But as my phone was lost, so were my MRT recordings. I need to find a day where I can do all the recordings again, so that in the near future, i can listen to the recordings in peace. But it's going to be a difficult job. I am hopefully going to write something to the ST forum now, someone has already complained about the voice, but i shall state my own views on it.

Chinese Garden: Going to develop into Lifestyle Hub
Luckily all of us in QSS went to Chinese Garden on 22 Feb. Why? They are going to redo the whole place for a lifestyle hub. Now, normally Singapore is a small space. But hadn't they have enough hubs already? AMK Hub was just officially opened last year, VivoCity made its big entrance in 2006, Sentosa has now been a highly hit place by people. So why is there a need to damage the delicate balance of nature? If they destroy this place, the wildlife will have to flee, and then, wouldn't Singapore lose another natural habitat?? Botanic Gardens is nearly man-made and the wildlife there is quite large, but is ot easily seen. They should just leave Chinese Garden to be, a quiet and serene place for all th enjoy. Because on the whole, when people are stressed, this is one place to be. To release tension in the open wide spaces in the open, without any distractions.

So far, like thats all i have to put my opinons on. Well, anyway on other stuff, well sometimes its like I feel being treated worse than other ppl who act worse then me. Its like, im being told to keep quiet, im being made fun of, but that bloody guy isnt. He's so annoying and he's very distracting. Well, nevermind, at least he has something in common with them. But somehow, i just wish people will see my personality instead of my hobby as my only part of my personality.

Ohyeah, before i go, eh, something for u guys to interpret. :P

Yes im not kidding, 252 new messages!!! :P LOL thats the record for my unread messages, but it isnt love letters haha. But its stuff, ahah STUFF :P. No, don't think dirty.

2008-02-19T22:08:00.002+08:00

Sometimes i feel very pissed. I hate my attitude sometimes. Today i just learnt from mrs soh i have been asking and asking more and more questions. Hmm somehow maybe i am getting too confident of myself? but im not. I am feeling quite agitated now. Alot of events are happening, i feel like nobody cares im around. I feel nobody notices my positive qualities, only the negative ones. :(

I am being made fun of at school, just because i poke at ppl. but i poke because ppl made fun of me in e past. I am being called weird names, and somehow i cant stop it. And ppl find it funny. I also blame myself, i act immature. I am quite really despo when im arnd my friends, and i cant stop that. even if i do, they wont stop. It seems i cant make or convince ppl i have something good and real, and not a fake thing.

And no, that show just now wasnt so good. But i dont care. I mean, not all bus enthus are like that. The kiddos werent well, good examples. im not like them. Well, im prepared to be ridiculed in school tmnrw.. At least im alright as a bus enthusiast. And besides, im at least not wasting my life by playing DS in school or well, wasting tons and tons of time blasting music on buses. And at least i dont smoke, take drugs etc. I dont know what to say...

OHYEAH, to add on, i HATE IT, I SERIOUSLY HATE IT WHEN people dont wanna move to window seats of buses. I mean just sit inside, so what if the aircon is too cold for u, are you saying Singapore's humid temperatures are alright??? MOVE IN so others can board!!! Geez..

And this friday even those with MC got to go for X-Country. WTF FOR WHAT MUST WE GO FOR?? Why must mrs soh be so like firm and so enthu with the school? why does she keep wanting to write testimonials, see clean classroom, see full attendance, see hmwk, see no MC?? aiyah im really wondering if she'll just change a little.

2008-02-13T20:54:00.002+08:00

Betrayal. It hurts. Seriously it does. But betrayal doesnt affect me fully. It affects my frens more. Why?

Scenario 1: Motorbike Insurance
2 friends are partners. They work together, and to get to work, they will probably share the same motorbike. But somewhere along the way, one broke the promise he had made. Now? Both look like frens but they see something evil in each other's eyes. Now they are changing partners so that they wont ever have to face another conflict again.

Scenario 2: Treatment of Friends
I vaguely know this one, but anyway lets say A and B were friends since this year. But A finds B never cares about him at all. So A says to B that he wont want her as a friend. So what happens now? Both are in the same class and Now A and B arent friends. And when i try to talk to A, he wont wanna get back with B because he feels he doesnt need her.

Scenario 3: Picture Humiliation
Humans sometimes are weird. What happened here? Add guy C here. C took a picture of A in a postion that was somewhat weird. C felt it was funny and posted it on his blog. That somehow angered A quite alot. and now, A and C don't see eye to eye. And even worse, both are in the same class and both WERE close friends. And same thing, A and C feel they dont need each other. And even 'better' yet, C would want to get everyone to join a club to hate A. And somehow i think thats just quite evil. I dont believe A is a bad guy.

Scenario 4: Misintepretation
When you board a bus, you see a guy whom you know. And somehow, you see his gf is with another guiy. my fren opened her mouth unintentionally. And as a result, the guy got quite angry and asked her to scram.

WHat is the point of all this? Scenarios 1 - 4 all happened to friends of mine!!! And i try to hope i can mediate the situation. But it wont work, which proves that sometimes, human beings including me can be stubborn and childish to forgive and forget,... So please, just dont have grudges, fights, quarrels that separate friendship, because otherwise, your other friends are affected too. And that's not nice! :(

2008-02-09T10:20:00.000+08:00

A emo blog post is coming up. I know this is a private blog. I really need to vent out my frustration. Yesterday, well i was quite happy, i used my phone alot. I loved that little thing, it was like my little device to anything. But well, yesterday, i think i dropped it. And probably, the phone is now in another guy's hands. All my memories, all my contacts, everything GONE.... and no, its not your fault. i should have left earlier, maybe then this thing wont have happened. A shame mine is a pre-paid line. So i guess now the only thing to do is to survive like some of my frens without phones for some time before i can get a new one, and i can feel that new one will be a cheapskate one. But i wont pester my dad, otherwise, i wont get a phone. :( Sometimes, i need to realise that not all buses are bad i guess. Damn me... Goodbye Nokia N73, goodbye bus recordings and goodbye 93793880. :(

2008-02-05T19:25:00.000+08:00

Damn, im grounded. This picture makes me feel so guilty... But hey, i got it. :) TIB442R on 965

I knew i did something wrong today when i stepped out of my house. Ohwell, i have no regrets. I got a nice picture, but had to stay long for it. Promised to be back by 7, then 8, and now grounded because well, i cant keep to promises. Damn... maybe this is a sign. I guess its time for me to just stay at home tmrw, why?? because i prob got all i wanted alrdy. So why bother being obsessed with gg tmrw?

And yes, well, i cant seem to be independent. In any ways i mean. I need to grab hold of people for advice, people to control me etc. But it doesnt work, out. WHY? because i just can't handle the pressure of what they want. But when i try to be independent on the decision, it works for a short-term period. The question is, am i following the school core values of "Discipline, Responsibility and Excellence?". I have respect but i lack the other 3. I need that spark of insipration, or mentality, or abuse to go and do what i should do is right. I dont want to end up like when i tried to lose weight, asked ppl for advice, too much pressure. I tried on my own, gave up. I got grounded because i came back at 8.30pm when im suppose to come back by 6. But i said i'll be back by 7. then i changed to 8. Way to go Varun, nice way to end the week. And this is a lesson i learnt the HARD way. Lesson is don't be so obsesses with buses, and if so, just go for buses YOU can catch!!!

So i guess tmrw i shall be plonked at home studying. I really really just want to get to a good JC. or any JC infact, maybe even Hafiz'z and Benjy's JC if the standards required are ok.

2008-02-01T21:27:00.000+08:00

This blog has been deserted for so long.... well anyway, here goes!

I am really so angry right now. I mean well, i promised not to be so emo this year. Yes I did, but i can't help the feeling now. Im as depressed as anyone else in this bloody level of secondary 4.

January was a fast month. I cruised along like as if it were the holidays, ending up failing 3 subjects. Passing only 2, English and A Maths. I may have been able to pass Physics if only i didnt make careless mistakes, Chem if only i studied more and E Maths, well i knew from the start i'll fail.. The words "if only" apply because of the regret of not studying. Sigh, i dont want to have to think this during my results day. It's not like im working my ass off studying. but im not slacking either. I already have a timetable for myself. I have yet to follow it this week. That's a bad sign. From tomorrow, i shall MAKE MAKE 100% sure i follow the bloody schedule i purposely made. I made the schedule so that my parents dont have to nag me to go an dhit the books. Well, they've so far not nagged me but i cant do my own revision. Well i do but at the most only 30 min out of my 2h 45 min time. So lesson? STUDY LAH!!! I dont care, i am going to study tmrw, im going to buy some bloody foolscap and some notebooks for studying...

2008-01-22T20:30:00.000+08:00

Today was alright but really, well promised not to condemn myself online. Anyway, 3 tests in 1 day. Can I handle the pressure? No, but i did anyway, the geog surprise test was really very hard, on meanders which we havent learnt about. the teacher gave us a VERY VERY small paper each to do our rough work to look throuh so to say JC style? But yeah she's quite pretty hahah. wont mind having her relief us sometime. :) The LC, as usual, now i know what it's for. Its to bore us with crap that no one will pay attention. Today's talk was about PEARL. The approach towards CIP. well wish they would do it for PD instead.

E maths test, fail? Hmm i never studied this bloody chapter. This chapter was all about graphs and i didnt revise. So yeah, im gone. A Maths today was like "huh?", "what???". the stuff on chain rule and product rule takes time to understand... ALOT of time!!!! :( And after the 2 hours we had with mrs soh, Physics again. the test, can i say another fail? but this one maybe i wont fail so much bah.

After school, went hawker. Meet Vivek and Aldy first, talked to Nicholas, Wibi later on.. But something disgusts me, lah, i know im not a good goalie but it never hurs to be one ok? besides, i love to be in goal, though i do not have a godly hand or do great somersaults or be aggresive!!

Anyway aft that. took TIB494R on 961 home, a 30 mins ride!!! Thats long. Along the journey at Bukit Timah Road, i saw the typical "a friend drags you so that you wont be able to get your bus" story. LOL here's the story. there were 2 boys. Boy B dragged Boy A till he nearly missed the bus, but well A did manage to get the bus after 2 minutes of childish playing.:P.

Scenario after they get on the bus:
(Boy A puts coins in coin box)
Boy B: Hey, what about my 20 cents?
(Boy A throws 20 cents out of bus)
Boy B: WHAT THE HELL???
(Boy B picked up coin and boarded bus).

Then there i was laughing like crazy!!! haha inside my mind i was sniggering lol, damn funny leh, but poor BC.

2008-01-18T19:10:00.000+08:00

Woke up really early today. Actually wanted to catch TIB468S, but instead, TIB652B came. So i waited for a 173 then x-fered to a 61 (TIB492X) to go to school.

Basically just did the hwk, somehow i felt happy. well its the first time i actually completed hmwk before it was supposed to be given.

Anyway, well today was a day of realisation. Alot of things revealed themselves to me. But well, i know their significance and I cant have any regretful feelings. And as for me, im working on my best to be less EMO in school. Being EMO may be me, but i know deep down, not many ppl like EMOs. So i guess i will change, for myself. those tons of advices i got, i may have chucked them on my sms space, but i still read them when i realise something's wrong. So i do appreciate that. My problem, i know what it is, taking ANYTHING insultive to me to heart! The solution is to just let the situation be and just cool down, maybe just dont retaliate. I know if i do, the other party will be offended and then the magic of guilt kicks itself in.

Took TIB442R to Bukit Panjang. :) Actually wanted to take it to Jalan Jurong Kechil, but then because of 840A's breakdown, the bus went downroute somewhere. :( BLEH!!! But i got TIB525K (S102) on 970. eh nearly got its pic but because of alot of human traffic, it wasnt a full bus =X

2008-01-16T20:53:00.000+08:00

Well, today was really nothing much. Now i realised something. But well, no need to ponder over it. I know i shouldnt keep critisizing myself. But i have. So yeah, nevermind..

Anyway, TIB621R is a really great bus. It's my 3rd EMO bus, well sort of, the sound is really nice for me. :) Took it on 961 today!!! YAY!!! :D from school to home. anyway, realised something also, today's 961 came like 10 mins aft 556X on 970 crossed the traffic junction . But at Jalan jurong Kechil, saw TIB468S. LOL slow 961 much? But 621R was seriously packed.

Behold, TIB621R on 61.

2008-01-09T20:07:00.000+08:00

Am I starting to hate school for the wrong reasons? Maybe yes, last time i used to hate it due to my schoolmates and some teachers. Now i hate it because of academic matters. Well, Secondary 4 sucks to the core, no doubt, whether u r in express or NA or NT, it still sucks, studying for important exams. Anyway, the teachers put alot of stress on us, i may see it as a good thing but i really just cannot bear with the tests, incoming homework and more, and now im like sleeping earlier and earlier than 9pm and waking up either very early or later, latest being 6am.

2008-01-08T18:06:00.000+08:00

One word is not enough to describe how stupid and how pissed off i am with today... no, it isnt. I am really pissed off, from like around 6.15am till around 3 plus. Some feelings of hatred last till now even.

Woke up at 5am, and missed TIB568L on 961. Got the 2nd bus, also crowded. =.= TIB742A. Anyway along Farrer Road, saw TIB919H. I was like wtf. At first i was happy to see dennis lance cameo-ing 961. But that happy feeling faded away when i saw the 2nd lance, TIB916R. When i saw that one, i really became pissed. It was like as if 961 was having mass cameo-ing of AMDEP buses. :(

In school, was revising A Maths test like crazy. The HeyMath solution, textbook solutions were left at home. couldnt revise, had to make do with what i had. ChongBoi and Vivek tried to help, thanks guys, But somehow i went really hyper, nearly losing my mind once again. Ugh, that test really messed up everyone's minds.

Humanities was alright, geog got to say, even if it was tiring, i didnt feel sleepy or anything, just tired. and thanks to shaowei for teaching me tangent-secant theorem :)

During recess, decided not to study for A Maths, ok, bcause dun really care. ANd at least Miss Annie Tan dismissed us early so we can have early recess and the queue wasnt so long. YAY!
But what was really really really a waste of a good 3o minutes was the Level Contact Time. Now, i know i am in favour of the 1 hour periods, but cutting recess short by 5 mins makes alot of difference. And having redundant topics like Reading Period, Reflective Writing and Level Contact Time makes English lessons and PD periods seem useless. And Mr Chng i gotta say was such an evil man, he may seem nice on the outside, but come to reality, i cant stand him. He demands too much, and he is just too strict. Call me a pussy or a sissy if u want but i cannot withstand Mr Chng. When i left the hall, my shoe went off, i ididnt notice till much later. how stupid and embarrasing. then when i was walking, nearly bumped into the pillar. =.= WHY??!

A Maths was so stupid. My mind went blank, i cant remember a single thing about all the theorems. And even mrs soh didnt want to postpone the test. well, i didnt want it to be, honestly. i just want it to be over and done with. i think maximum i can get is a 13 out of 30, Yes, thats a fail. I did my best, because i lost confidence and motivation to study for tests.. since the Re-exam for A Maths and Physics are on friday and thursday respectively. Everything seems to idiotic and stressful.

Physics. Ok this one is where i shall rant and and swear. Miss Idayu comes in... first thing is, she wants people to own up for those who didnt do the group study work as a group. When everyone stood up, Chong Boi and the others stood. But i had no choice, i had to stand too. Why did me and Chong Boi have to stand? we worked together. The others only came bombarding in because I was the only one with the TYS. Didn't Miss Idayu take that into account? Firdaus, i just felt sorry he got into trouble, but i prob. blame the fact she wants Peer Tutoring and the fact we just only work with our close friends. But i just cannot tolerate being blamed for something which i never wanted to be in but thanks to some idiots who forgot to bring their TYS, i was dragged into the fact i never worked with Chong Boi and Firdaus.. Then the workbook, phew at least im not down for WAC. If i was, my perfect record will be broken. I have never been sent to WAC at all. and i really want to maintain that.

After school, just went macs with Aldy, his sec3 frens doing A Maths lol, it seems so difficult to them, somehow to me, it doesnt seem easy. That's a bad thing.

Took TIB590X with Timothy home on 961, then saw the 2 lances again. And once i got down the 961, i was planning my move on what to do when i meet my bus enthu frens Hafiz and Faizal. They say "Oh, we dont mind 961 lance perms" or "YES TO 961 LANCE PERMS". I only know 1 good reason for lances on 961, that is the pax is more. But the cons of lances? Too little seats, aircon is fucking stupid and the bus bumps alot (not just UMW mind you!). So all i can say on this private blog is, PLEASE DO NOT PUT LANCES AS 961 PERMS. And if anyone supports that, i shall make sure that person sees the flaws when he/she sees 961 AM Peak.. and if those 10 merc shud go to another svc, they will face my wrath, im just pissed off. I wont really threaten them, but i cant accept this sudden changes, and if they remove just 1 merc for a lance, i shall really cry and i will get really really mad, call me childish now please. But i want to preserve the rights of a 961 perm.
And can i ask you people here, as cameos these buses are fine. BUT WOULD YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE THESE BUSES AS PERMANENT BUSES ON 961???
TIB908P on 961 (edited picture)

Instead of these??!?! (IN order TIB481C, TIB494R, TIB500G, TIB536D, TIB540R)

2008-01-03T20:24:00.000+08:00

Remember those posts where I proclaim myself as an idiot? a guy who sucks to the core?? Well I am. I try to change, be less crappy, but it doesnt work... i still cay crap that pisses everyone off. They dont say it to me, but i know they're pissed with me. and the only way i can change that mindset is to just KEEP QUIET. Maybe well, i should be like how i was in geog, not talking so much... Like what Hafiz told me on MSN, "sometimes we can only do as much, the person himself must be the one to initiate and be willing to change", that is so true. But im not doing that, :( Look at me today, you can find me crappy at alot of times, ugh sometimes i cant stand to be near myself. When i look at someone who acts similarly to me, i dont like it. i purely feel that i shouldnt act like that anymore. maybe that's my motivation to act less stupid in school.

And revision?!?! Like i never started any. so yeahh feel awful about it. but im gonna start soon, and i will FORCE myself to do it tmrw during chinese. :) and i need to find my sch booklist.

When will the desired person I want to be come out? It all depends on me, so if i want to do revision, i must be willing to change my character too...

2008-01-02T18:47:00.000+08:00

The first day has passed us. I woke up at 5.25am, 30 minutes later than i wanted to. Ate koko-crunch and set off for Day1 of school. Missed 2 961's because they were too crowded. took TIB742A (961) to school. Btw, 961 is transferring 10 duties to Ang Mo Kio (AMDEP) from 06 January 08.. sad right? but i'll get used to it...

Anyway, mr chua was like talking to us all the way, and yes Mrs Sheryl Soh is 404's form teacher. Mrs Goh became 303's form teacher. :( Ohwell, 6th floor is where 404's classroom is. We now learn we end at 1.45 everyday except tuesday, where we end at 3.15pm. Remedials start from next week according to YeeWen's blog. Anyway, i really don't feel comfortable with Mrs Soh being our form teacher, it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Now 404 can't exercise their freedom that much. Our seating arrangements changed, im sitting with Firdaus:) but at the front x_x. Reflective Writing to me is quite alright, but well, anyway wish English was banding still, like into 5 bands? that would be better. god knows how they'll manage chinese students.

After school, ate at hawker and went Daud;s house. lol fun leh, haha was really fun even if i cant run... well anyway wish i did more, seriously, everyone was being real nice to me, but i think i could have played better.

Anyway now am at home, having mild headache, waiting for my bro and my mom to get home from school and work respectively so that i can eat dinner!!

TIB442R, please get fixed soon, and get a new nice ad, its boring seeing tons of cameos replacing you.. :(

2008-01-01T22:37:00.000+08:00

The start of 2008 is here. I didnt post reflections for 2007. Well, let the reflection begin.

2007 Memories
- SMRT Cram Jam was the first ever time i saw bus enthus.. really excited and it was fun. The bendy bus, tour was cool. and i met alot of ppl that day. 11Feb07
- Miss Jo Leong left QSS to be a marketing executive at NUH. Farewell for her by her ex-class which i tagged along.
- Made alot of new frens in the current class and really had fun with them.
- My photos have improved tremendously thanks to my bus enthus and my father:)
- I have been more and more emo this year, losing temper and having more breakdowns...
- Taking a ride on TIB484U on 970. 26Aug07
- Sennheiser invaded 9 buses on SMRT, and TIB442R was one of them :D
- TIB442R was my ride home on 27jun07
- NewYear's Countdown, riding the Nokia Music Mobile and taking NR5 and NR8.
- Being to Danial's, QiYao's, Daud's, Wibi's, Twins, Jin's houses and Gary's birthday party.
- Knowing more bad/good people and knowing some lives of outside workers, like bus drivers.

Well, the timetable, to me, well honestly i dont really mind the 1 hour periods, maybe except RW, LC, RP.. but anyway, i had a phone convo with miss leong. she told me that we shouldnt let these small issues clog up our minds because it creates alot of energy of worrying for us. It doesnt seem worth it, the way she put it to me. Because to us, we can use these periods to our fullest and maybe do well in the O's. And the teachers are probably having a worse life than us as they're staff polulation has drastically declined.
2008 Resolutions (w.e.f. 02Jan08):
1. Lose weight or get fit enough to stay healthy. I dont care if im fat, i just want to be healthy.
2. Study hard. For me, it means: FOCUS 100% on the topic im reading, if i m bored, i shall wash face to make sure i dont fall asleep.
3. Make friends to improve social skills
4. Get nice bus pictures in the ample time, as O Levels is precious.
5. Excel in O Levels, work to my maximum
6. Listen to what others say first before interrupting.
7. Don't exercise too much initiative.
8. Don't be a big-bloody bigmouth
9. Do PHY/CHEM practicals properly, read up on previous topics.
10. Don't always talk abt buses... not everyone likes them and i dont want everyone to like them!!

Anyway, here's 1 pic to remind us of the early morning sky in 2008... FIREWORKS!!

And... TIB618B on NR7. (Welcome the NightRiders) :D

2007-12-24T21:28:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone!!! Something from me to all loyal readers, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!:

2007-12-18T21:06:00.000+08:00

Singapore is a country in Asia. No doubt, it was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles, and also, due to the British influences and the migration of the Chinese, Arabs and Indians mostly, along with a small number of Eurasians, Singapore emerged as a independent nation in 1965, let alone self-government in 1959. And the Singapore we live in is now a cosmopolitan society, everything changes day by day. And also, so does the world.

Ever since the terrorist attacks on 9/11 in USA, the world has become more aware of its surroundings. But that didn't stop terrorists locally and internationally from nearly bombing Yishun MRT station in 2002. And sadly, there were bombings overseas, which has caused security and customs to be tighter to protect ourselves. We can look at this as a good thing, because the government is providing protection, let alone we take it for granted.

But well, there are of course flaws with tight security, and that includes hobbies such as the one i have. This is a private blog, so im not afraid to voice out what is it that bothers me. I have been liking buses since 1996, due to engine sound transmissions, they attracted me. Next to it, there were designs of buses, especially the Mercedes-Benz O405 during the 90s.

My interest is mainly buses, so i would take pictures of those, particularly cameos or those with nice nice ads or something which can only remain as part of history. But as the world becomes more aware of its surroundings, when people like me take pictures near bus interchanges, we are asked, "why are we doing this?". We lie most of the time, saying "it's for a project", its a shame that now they even seem suspicious, and even with that TNP article, the public transport doesnt seem to really care that there are people who are trustworthy. And even if others get into the hobby and do horrible stuff, i mean, taking pictures of buses isnt anything serious. It's weird yes but not serious, because well WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD USE A BUS AS A WEAPON?? I mean, and why Singapore?? Thats what i would like to know, i mean, at interchanges, they should be not as suspicious. We are only taking pictures, at least we dont litter, talk loudly in cantonese or some irritating language, fight, bring weapons. The security should focus on these issues instead. Thats why now im really pissed off when i see a Transit Security. It means i cannot be able to take pictures because its a security protection. But you know, it doesnt make sense, why bus interchanges?? WHY?? i mean, like Bukit Panjang Interchange is so open, and why is it like a need to have 1? I would only wish the security of Singapore would rather be taking off beggars from streets, MRT stations and give them proper shelter than to inconveinence hobby-ists. It's only a matter of time before all places will be overly-protected... The world needs to be safe but it needs to learn about some people, we cant keep compromising, the world needs to too. And those stupid terrorists should be killed.. for making our hobby so complicated! :(

2007-12-14T21:13:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow seem like i should go for 2 things, but 1 thing is something that IM DYING TO SEE!!! But i cant go for the outing, i dedicated myself to go for cosplay tmrw... :( ohwell, way to go trying to act normal, Varun. nevermind, you commit yourself to your frens in sch! you may never get to contact your bus enthu frens but thats ok. THINK THAT WAY!!

Well, actually you know what, i wish like i never told him i was going to meet other bus ppl... sigh, he really wants me there. it's seriously a rare chance in the world and i really wanna wanna meet them to know them more, but well, i cant. so there, varun naidu's too worried abt his sch frens that he is losing touch with his hobby frens.

Nevermind that, anyway SMRT is gonna change the voice in all SMRT stations, so i recorded from Boon Lay to Tiong Bahru, Door Closing, Admiralty to Marina Bay, Bugis - Kallang :P im damn spastic but i love the old voice, seriously, when im on a Kawasaki, no matter where it is, i can feel emo, and with the old voice, i feel emo and more emo, which is like good for me, being emo makes me relfective on life...

Well, here's two bus pics to brighten your rainy dayz... TIB433S on 75 (grey bus) and TIB467U on 961 (bluey bus)! :)

2007-12-10T20:15:00.000+08:00

Well, its another yet depressing entry from Varun Naidu... yeah i know, some things are quite bad.

Weight, it is an issue yes. But well, it all started since i confided in a fren. he misunderstood my prob of self-esteem, thinking its weight that contributes alot. So he gave me alot of suggestions, which i didnt follow. The next time i came to see him, he was like saying :i wont stop treating him this way until he starts to exercise". Thanks to 2 frens, he did stop that day:) but anyway, well, he just wnats me to be happy and to lose weight for myself. But maybe he doesnt realise the way he's doing it hurts my feelings, like forcing me to do it because i wanted to. I didnt want to lose weight, and not at this point of time. i dont want you to think im a lazy ass. i didnt like bokken, i quit because i hated it and it never suited me.,Maybe you wont be happy. and i cant exercise because i just am lazy, DEAL with it. dont try to make it seem like i can only be treated well if i exercise. thats not the right way, but anyway i lose... i miss the fren u once were, optimistic, lame, funny, peppy, outgoing, sociable with us. Maybe its influences i dont know... is it still alright to be normal frens? and i cant be forced to go for something with i dont even watch, but i'll support u since u tried to help me socialise in sec1/2 and sec3.,.

Anyway, to other stuff. well, its like studying for me, thats my own thing, it doesnt really seem like i have been revising much. My mom seemed real angry when i said i'll study 2 hours and ended up talking on MSN. =X So guess have to do revision tmrw before im free to go for bus-photography. Anyway maybe 2 hours will START and i have to start my tuition again, couldnt earlier because well, its like i've been out this week and last week so yeahh... abit far behind time.

2007-12-06T23:25:00.000+08:00

The holidays are meant to be enjoyed. Well, they are.

The reason why this blog is gonna go back to private is because, i dont wanna pollute the air for SOME PPL! ugh! anyway, not like as if iwanted to see you on TIB468S right?? u also spoilt my mood okay??? Why must I always be the guy in the wrong! Even if you cant read this, get this straight, what have i done to u?? Nothing right? Maybe messing up chem but thats normal, then what?? You expect me to be perfect?? What kind of crap are u getting? Please, dont say im an air pollutant, it really hurts me, and what, i mean your squad, i got nothing to say.. i only hurt 1 girl because of my attitude, and apologised, and there u all go, make it seem like im some kind of bastard. Well, fuck off bitches.

Today's a really depressing day. I just feel like i dont know, la. I treated $10 to someone for food, but well, like she couldnt give back ,then sent me some vulgar sms. I dont know, maybe these things spoil my mood. I dont know... I don't even know why i never say vulgarities to her, maybe because i try to be nice and also i pity her home life...

And to add on, well its like i've also been lazy, not exercising because im just an air pollutant. And also, well, my studies, neglecting it for buses. UGH!!! My body sucks to the core. would rather get liposuction and get my sweat glands modified. some of my frens say at times, i can stink up TIB442R :( I give up, nd if that 1 fren knows im not doing my part to exercise, he'll hate me forever, because he counselled me and i am not listening, even if i never really wanted to lose weight.... i wish i was never born.

2007-12-03T20:59:00.000+08:00

Well, another day as gone by. As the days pass, im feeling much more worthless than before. I have on;y started to exercise, but from 1st dec. will continue from friday i guess. such a lazy person i am>.< i only ran 1 day and now i dun wanna run. i wanna hit myself! GAH anyway, well, i also havent been starting my school revision lately, prob due to the fact i;ve been obsessed with buses, buses and MORE buses. So, my revision has gone down the drain. Well, i guess from tmrw, maybe i start again but with 2hrs a day. then maybe i have to exercise in different and easier ways, maybe sit-ups, push ups and maybe i go to the gym. maybe i cut down on fast-food and coke. Well, all that advice given by Danial this morning really helped me:) Thanks!! :D

Anyway, well, as december approaches, i guess all my things on my list must be done before the mid-point. :P 15 December is the mid-point, so i must do alot of stuff by then, ugh! I feel fatter even if i walk more and run a little. maybe its time i dont buy fast-food when i go out, and maybe just buy water and other stuff. i'd rather lose weight than to keep on buying newer and newer clothes that shirnk in the wash!

Well, anyway, thats all for today, abit sad but i know what i must do.

2007-12-02T20:46:00.000+08:00

Too lazy to blog often. I have the same prob as MeiTze, the holidays arent interesting but at least i get away from it all in school:) Yeah these holidays i've been going after more and more buses, some pics are nice, most arent. That's the harsh truth. And also, i havent been revising my schoolwork recently, and i really feel ike i should, but yeah it does bring me down. But it's a sacrifice i have to make. Im still only at 1 hour of revision, cant even go to 4 hours! :( That's like a killer study time.

Ok, the post shall start now, this post shall be about ONLY the HANOI TRIP 2007.

Day 1
Once we were in the airport, we were being debriefed by Mr. Siah. Some ppl came to send us off and well, there we went, on the plane to Hanoi. Minh was also on the same flight that day, VN-744:P Anyway well, day 1 was abit hectic, I lost my pencil box in the Hanoi airport. T.T So when we reached our hotel, the Ngoc Mai Hotel, it seemed abit scary but well, got used to it, here's the pic of my room from Days 1-Day 2.

Day 2
More hectic, thats quite true. Had to wake up early, like around 8.20am to go to the HCM Mausoleum but it's closed as HCM's body was sent to Russia. T.T After that, well like we went to the Presidental Palace, and we learnt that HCM had 2 cars and his house was really nice. Then went to the HCM Museum but i left my camera in my bag T.T. Mr Siah was so nice to lend me his camera. THANK YOUUUU! Anyway, after that, off to this One Pillar Pagoda and Lunch. ZhonTeng ate like over 50 clams?? I said over 70! LOLs it's seriously a hell load of clams! Then went for the cyclo tour, which i gotta say was nice really. Then went to the Hoan Kiem Lake to see the gigantic tortoie, not sure if its real or not. then like well, went for the Water Puppet Show. It was nice, but the pictures were hard to take because they seats are all over the place, heads going straight up for the pictures of the water puppets but yeah got very few good pics seriously, thats all for that day, phew!!! So goddamn tired and even worse, we had project discussion!! GAHH! So Pictures for Day 2? Here they come! Well after that, something scary happened, well that one i will leave it for 2nd or 2rd jan 08 to spread.:X

Our group listening to Mr Siah

Day 3
In the morning, left the Ngoc Mai Hotel for the Hoa Lu temples. Well after that, we were inside the temple. our tour guide, Mai was telling some ppl to move, luh. Then they behaved in pompous and a rude way saying "Do you speak English?" and laughing at him. Well, i think a few others saw it, and i felt abit sad for Mai. But i really hope he's ok. Well, after that, went to the Bich Dong Caves, hahah the sampan ride was cool :) 2 hours but very nice. Anyway after that, went to the Tam Doc Caves, which was o100 steps high!! omg! anyway yeah aft that went to Hai Phong. BUT on the way, haha we had an interesting stopover. Well, Me, Fird, Isaac, YuhKae, Tay, Joel and Eddie went to the toilet there lah, then i closed the door, well TIGHTLY. And well, i tried to open it but i realised WE WERE STUCK!!! GAHH!!!!! We tried alot of stuff to get out, later our bus driver and his assistant helped us to get out though it took quite long, LOL. Mr Siah even use flash to take pic of us, hahaz like so embarrassing but its nice! LOl "7 guys trapped in a Vietnamese toilet". Moral of the story: Never EVER EVER close a Vietnam toilet door too tightly!! Then we had dinner, i felt abit emo, maybe because of the toilet thingy and i tot i lost my bro's book and medication but in the end i didnt! then well went to my room. It's damn nice. And yeah the bed is so easy to jump on. The bathroom is lovely! And well, that hotel, the CAMELA hotel rocks my socks alot.!!! Never wanted to leave it.

Day 4
Left the awesome hotel. :( Well, i'll miss it loads. Went to the Cat Ba Island by a boat. Mr Siah took alot of pics hahahz, EVIL! Sheryl, Quincy and CheeYing didnt seem impressed. LOL anyway, upon reaching the Cat Ba Island, took a long boatride to Ha LOng Bay. The rocks were so cool!!! :) And we were like basking in the sun. And when we reached HaLong Bay, the caves were so cool, then went back to the Ngoc Mai Hotel. Well, Mr Siah and Mai seemed real angry over an incident by the Ngoc Mai Hotel. And to make matters worse, he left to go to the other hotel, and well, i was screwed by Mr Siah. But he got a hell load of scoldings. I nearly cried because it was like my fault but you took too many risks. And CheeYing had a headache so our grp project, i dont know how, Chian Yil had gastric even of she came for the meeting.

Day 5
Last real day in Hanoi. Went to the Hanoi Prison Museum, then well, someone left the phone in the hotel, so Mr Siah got angrier. And worse yet, after the mosque, i tot i left my handphone there but i didnt, and Mr Siah got real angry and pissed off. That made me feel bad, i was very careless, and Mr Winston had to just go back to find it for me. I felt like a burden. Thanks to Miss Kaur, Firdaus, Zhon Teng, Suresh, QiYao, Mr. Winston, our bus driver for cheering me up. :) I just feel like some things so good are so easy to come but i cant treat them as easy things, that was the real time i acted really emo. In the night, couldnt sleep, prank calls still. >.< Lasted so long and got abit enraged spoilt their room door but it was fixed. I screamed into my pillow and heavily apologized. Left Hanoi and yeah felt even more reflective. The trip overall was seriously enjoyable but well, i felt nearing the end wasnt so good for me, and maybe its my fault for just being to hard on myself and being careless.
Dunwan to post a Day 5 pic! LOL

Overall: It was a fun trip, the 19 of them were nice, Mai was real nice, Mr Siah and Miss Kaur were very helpful and the Vietnamese people are helpful, friendly and look sad. But anyway, i wish i didnt become so careless. So to all u guys, thank you for making this trip fun for me ;) Oh and the buses in Hanoi ain't so nice. Nicest buses are found in Europe, then USA and Canada, Australia, HK, then Singapore, then elsewhere. :P

I cant concentrate on my blogging today. I really am down with an irritating flu. Well that means im not going to school tomorrow.

Anyway, i shall split up my day into 3 portions: 3 things that ruined up my day, 2 things which brightened my day and 1 thing that i can improve on.

My day was ruined well, quite simply put because of myself. Im not like many people in my class, i cant hold my excitement or feelings when i wanna speak up. It just comes out as crap. Possibly, during the goddamn physics remedial, the class felt I was uttering pure crap. Well, i know i say crap, but i realised something. Im just too lazy to improve myself for the better. I kept saying to many frens "I'll try to change for the better" but my human nature, i just cant. I don't know why, in sec1 i dont remember being this crappy. But have i really grown into a utterly crapping guy who just disturbs everyone's chance to learn by asking stupid questions or by remarking by saying something lame?

Secondly, my day was ruined by well, the fact i feel like an outcast. I just cant feel normal ever. In sec1 i was still into cartoons and TV stuff, but now, into buses. I think buses represent me, but very few ppl from my sch can see that as who I am and who i should be accepted as. I cant pretend to put on some goddamn mask and pretend to play a DS or a PSP or go to the LAN just to get friends. Rachel told me this just now on MSN, "if your friends truly respect you as a bus enthu. they will hear you say about buses. they will accept you for WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU COME FROM, even from mars.". In a way, it is true you know but i want to make friends with school people you see, i spend like nearly 40h with them a week and i want to get to know them better to know how it feels to be happy by having friends.

The third thing which kinda ruined my day was the fact that what is it about my passion? Who am I destined to be? Im interested in bus photography but is that what everyone can accept from me? I cant be an artist because QiYao is already one. JinShen is a rapper and for starters i cant sing for nuts. I cant create games because they simply will run out of interest, so my point to myself is that, what can I do for a living?

Well, my day did seem good in other aspects. Today the chem practical was relatively fun and quite easy. And yeah, i felt like i did something to benefit evryone, though i do feel bad for wasting the water. but it cant be as bad as how i treated Yanjun last friday. I didnt mean to be so clueless around her to nearly kill her, just wish that they would just see through my bad and see my good points and not avoid me. But i can change.

Another good point of the day was the fact I have friends who do care for me, i mean well, most of them can appreciate the weird hobby of bus-liking and TIB442R IS NO LONGER KNOWN AS MY WIFE, but yeah. anyway it does feel good to have ppl around me who do care and who try to help no matter how selfish i act even if i just wanna be kind. Those comments from my frens help me pass through each passing day well, i really take the advice deep into my heart.

The thing I can improve on? Well i can start by just maybe MYOB around ppl, trying not to analyze their face too closely. And well, to add on, maybe i can just keep my trap shut when its just lame or when the lesson is utterly boring. And yeah, maybe I do have to apoligise, though they may not forgive me, but i really feel like an apology will do them good. I just wish i would not act like an ASS so much.

2007-11-05T20:21:00.000+08:00

Today was a day which could have turned out good. Well the good parts of today was that well, the chem practical wasnt messed up by me today. :) Thanks Fi!! Anyway yeah the practical was relatively easy because i revised!!! :D Well, thats a first time ever.

BUT yeah, TIB442R shall renounce it's status as my wife. She shall now be known only as my no.1 bus, i mean everyone else thinks its weird for someone to like buses so much, well i damaged the PKO game but i dont want TIB442R to feel like i dont like her alot. She's my no.1 bus and I will still like her the most! Anyway, bus photography was a hobby i chose because i feel like its something that makes me unique. It's something i love and like, and buses are what keep me happy. I see them everyday, most of them have lovely ads and some have the nicest engine sounds. Anyway, thanks to Irish, Ching Keat and Mei Tze for those blog posts that have really touched my heart alot :). And thanks to those ppl, Chee Ying, Zhon Teng, Alvan, Ching Keat, Daud, Aldy, Sumithra, Rachel, Faizal, Firdaus (04), Minh, Fiersa and Elsie for helping me through these times. Do I really have to try to fit in a group by dropping my bus hobbies? Or can i add on by buying those computer games to try at home and master?

Now, i shall post the lyrics for 1 song, which can be seen on my goodfren, Rachel's blog. This song really touched my heart alot and showed me that well, we do put on masks and sadly, will our relfections show who we really are inside?

Christina Aguilera - Relfection [Seen in Disney's Mulan]
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you’ll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
My heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that i’m
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There’s a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I’m forced to hide?
I won’t pretend that i’m
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
