Yesterday was my class 31/06's gathering. Sadly, not all 22 of us came. Some of them last minute said cannot come. Aiyo, they should have informed the rest earlier. So irresponsible. =/Still, quite a number turned up. Tan jin, anthony, an xuan, li jiong, joycelin, valerie, lulu, joanne, hui ping, xian hui, jasmine, xiang feng, daniel and myself. And of cos our host, liang pei, cos we were going to her house for bbq.Majority of us met outside bishan mrt stn at around 5.15. (some of them came later) After buying some bbq stuff, we moved on to liang pei's hse and started preparing for the bbq. Not long later, our PD tutor, miss chan, came along too. Unfortunately she had an appointment and had to leave at around 6.45. But nevertheless, we appreciate her for dropping by despite her hectic schedule.The bbq itself was veri much a disaster. Most of the food ended up "chao ta" (burnt). But doesn't matter, we were not tat experienced in such stuff in the first place. Hahas. After the bbq, we gathered in the living room to watch tv. But not before we went outside her hse to pop 2 bottles of champagne, which miss chan bought for us. (actually, they're just white and red grape wine. We're stil under 18 =x), Then we played indian poker (or is it some other name? I didn't catch the name properly). By then it was about 9.30 alr.A few of us had to go home early, and by 10, only anthony, li jiong, daniel, lulu, xiang feng and myself were still around. Lesser ppl now, so we were able to play heart attack. Lols. It was damn exciting. Not to forget taking some photos of the whole group.Happy times are short, though. Bu4 zhi1 bu4 jue2, it was already 11 liao. We took a few more photos, then I decided to share cab wif lulu and xiang feng to get home.It could hv been more fun if the other 7 ppl oso turned up. But still, it was a veri enjoyable experience. Finally, we're starting to get more bonded as a class. Too bad hao3 jing3 bu4 chang2. In one week's time, after the release of posting results, we'll all be separated again. But I still look forward to seeing at least some of the 31s during the 2nd intake.*31/06 (1st intake). Forever etched in my memory.*

Whether I can stay in AJ or not will be determined on 3rd march. I told myself I hav a 90% chance of staying. Where does tat leave the remaining 10% then? Simple. To luck. Again, there seemed to be tis feeling tat I might not be able to continue my studies here. Haiz. Guess I shouldn't think too much la.Tmr I'll be going for 31/06 de gathering at one of my classmates' hse. Didn't feel like going initially. Some of the guys still cant giv me the security n mutual trust I'm looking for. But I eventually decided to go anyway. Since we'll be together as a class for just 1 more week, it's all the more important to treasure every moment we hav. =)

I don't know whether it's becos of tat incident (see entry 21/02), but ever since then I found the guys from my class getting so hypocritical, now it's hard just to differentiate between right and wrong.Perhaps it's due to the fact tat I'm gullible, so they are able to exploit this weakness by telling mi lots of stuff which all seemed so ambiguous. Makes mi wonder why the world today is so complicated. Is it becos of the changing society? Parents? I hav no idea either. But whatever the reason, I can trust tat bunch of guys no more.The onli thing that could provide some consolation is the fact that the girl aforementioned in the previous entry has responded in the tagboard. We've cleared things up at last, and i know she belongs to the minority whom I can trust in AJ, apart from my sec skool frenz. Seriously.I wonder if I'd made the right choice by staying in AJ. But regretting the decision now is way too late. Perhaps I should let nature take its course. There'll definitely be a time when one person who is 102% dependable and trustworthy comes into my life.*Treasure everything you have now, cos' the next second, minute, hour and day are filled wif uncertainties.*

I don't know why the guys in 31/06 always say I'm their "Lovegod". But whatever the reason, I think they seem to be toying wif my feelings.Sometime last week we were playing truth or dare in the canteen. Then the rest of the guys keep sabotaging me. So I had to approach a girl whom I did not recognise at all and say hi. (For privacy reasons, I shall not reveal her name) Well, eventually after like 20 mins I finally plucked up the courage to say hi to her. Haiz. Damn embarrassing de la. That was how we knew each other, though.This isn't the end of story, of course. Throughout the next few days the other guys keep telling me about the good points of the girl. I didn't really believe them, but didn't hav a choice to disagree about wat they said. Some acts that caught the girl's surprise were, for instance, giving my hp number to her yesterday, and this morning, where I bought her a H2O drink.Then the moment of falling from grace. Tis afternoon after PE lesson, one of the guys showed me a msg from the girl, saying that she feels that I'm weird weird de. That's okay still. But when she said "he thinks I like him too", I was momentarily stunned. Well, not that I expect her to have feelings for me, but the fact is, the guys from my class were behind all these, and not me personally. I don't blame her at all though. If another girl goes through all these, I think her response will be somewhat similar. This is veri much comparable to stalking, but I'm forced into doing these acts. =xHope the girl (whom I still won't name) can understand that what I did for the past few days is jus out of sincerity and nothing else. I'm not trying to win ur heart, but rather, I jus hope that both of us can get along as ordinary friends. Here, I sincerely apologise to u for causing u so much inconvenience, and hope we can still keep in touch.

14 feb. A day where many couples spend the night out and enjoy themselves. For me, though, it will be another lonely day.What happened the past few days.:Finished registering for the JAE last sat at my relative's house. No surprise, chose AJ as 1st and 2nd choice. 9 pts without bonus shld be more than enough to stay there. Right? =)Went out wif stefani and her 3 frenz ytd afternoon. We met at compass pt. I reached there early so went to comics connection to buy Maple de prepaid card. $10.50. Afterwe met, we took NEL to kovan station. Destination: heartland mall. Treated them for lunch at Yoshinoya. $15.80. Den we went to print club at 2nd floor to take neoprints. I forked out another 6 bucks.Walked around the mall aimlessly afterward. At Popular bookstore I happened to see the latest version of TransitLink guide on the counter, so i bought it without hesitation. Another $2. (Okay, I'm not so money-minded de, but tis isn't the way to spend money wat. I brought $98 and spent $34.30 - more than one-third u know) We went home at around 5.Back to the present. So how am i going to spend Vday, u may ask. Well, tis yr's valentine has some meaning for me. Tis morning me and my maple gf (wont tell u who she is for the sake of privacy) got married (in maple la, duh). Kinda hurried though, cos she was using the com in skool and did not hav much time. Lols. But it's okay. I understand she did not have much time in the first place. Cost of wedding: 102,000 mesos + 9,500 cash. This is why I had to go buy prepaid card. Needed the cash badly. (NB.: 1 prepaid card = 10,000 cash)This is probably what makes my valentine's day 2006 stand out from the rest. Hope our online marriage can last 4eva. =)

Well, my O level results was much better than what I had expected. My expectation was L1R5 lesser than 12. Mission accomplished. I got 9 pts. =)But still, the fact remains that my batch of 4e/5n students exceeded every1's expectations. There were 2 or 3 from 4e1 who got 10 A1s, a few more wif 9 A1s, and a whole list wif 8 and 7 A1s too. So there's reali nothing i can be proud about. Haiz.My result slip:English - B3Combined humanities - A2Geography - B3E.Maths - A1A.Maths - A1Sci (Phy/Chem) - A1Higher Chinese - A2Chinese (2004 O level) - A1Thus, best L1R5 = 9.Was particularly disappointed in english. Thought I could do better. HCL and combined humanities far exceeded my hopes though.

How to describe my feelings now? Very VERY uneasy. There seems to be this bad feeling that tells mi I will get a terrible grade for english and combined humanities. Though I may hav said before tis that I've tried my best, like many other candidates, there's this strong feeling of anxiety and nervousness. Ever since I was in primary school, my performance in the languages and humanities had been kinda lacking. Hope that when I get my results tmr afternoon, I won't let emotions overwhelm myself.

So it has been announced over the media. The 2005 GCE 'O' level results will be released on 10/2/06. Haiz. Indeed time files past in a breeze. The 6 weeks or so I've spent with my classmates from 31/06 will be remembered. Maybe we may not see one another come the 2nd intake. But I won't forget u all de, don't worry.Now for the harsh reality. Let's face it. It's beyond my reach to obtain A1 for all my 7 subjects. But still I hav confidence my L1R5 SHOULD n WILL be 12 points or less. Must be optimistic mahx. Even if I don't achieve tis target, I know I've already tried my best. If my score is good enough for furthering my studies at AJ , all the better. But if not, I mite consider going to a poly instead. =)Wonder how the next 3 to 4 days gonna be like. It's probably comparable to the pre-O levels period, where everyone's so tensed up preparing for the exams. Now, everybody's gonna get so anxious and anticipating the worst of their results. Haiz. Why stress yourself so much? No point at all. Enjoy the remaining time u hav in AJ, for u might change ur mind after getting ur results. NB.: From last paragraph --- This is my own assumption. Some ppl will not even giv a damn. They jus wan to continue slacking. HaHaS.

What a day at MacRitchie today. The entire AJ population went there for the annual cross-country run, from 2.30-6pm. Though I had past experience of the running conditions, especially within the forest trails, I still had some difficulty completing the course fast enough.Not that I kept stopping on the way. In fact I onli stopped once, at the section where the forest trail turns into the main road. By the end of the run, my position shot up from the last few guys (starting pt) to 377th place. Not too bad ya? Indeed, the few weeks of rigorous fitness training in PE lessons are starting to pay off dividends. But NAPFA is coming right round the corner, so guess I've to sustain this level of fitness bahx.My parents will be coming back tonight. Not that I miss them that much, it's a rare opportunity for mi to chiong Maple into the wee hours of dawn. But without them around for 2.5 days, there's tis feeling of emptiness within myself, which I couldn't explain either. Perhaps it's becos they go overseas onli like once per year, so certainly I won't feel comfortable without them around for so long.Haiz, now I'm really really worn out after a whole day of activities. However, no matter how tired I get, there's still something I've to do first. Guess you should know what I'm gonna do ritez? =P

Heard from my classmates tat the O level results will be released some time nxt week. My first reaction was like, "Huh? So fast de arz?" Haiz. I still haven't fully integrated into AJ and now u expect mi to be mentally prepared 4 the worst. I guess the release of the results is jus a matter of time, we cant be hoping it's like 10 years later.Still, I hope my results will be good enough to allow mi to continue staying in AJ. In contrast to many of my classmates, who are thinking of going to other JCs come the 2nd intake, this WAS my 1st choice and I didn't regret making this decision. Convenient location, friendly students, well-maintained facilities (though I hav 2 comment tat some of these facilities are kinda run-down).For the past 2 days I haven't been updating my blog - simply didn't hav the time. What did I do? Play Maple larz. Ytd I went to bugis de VirtuaLAN cybercafe and played from 6.30-10.30pm and onli slept at 2.30am the nxt day. Hahas. Then today after sch, once my group's college CIP project was done, I went there again. 4-6.30pm. (of course I brought my home clothes and changed into them beforehand) My parents seldom go overseas and I realised that doing this kind of intensive training is the best way to kill time. Lols. But tonite I cannot train until too late. Tmr got cross-country. Need to hav sufficient rest. So latest 12am I'll hav to go to bed liaoz. Self-discipline. =PFinally, do wish mi good luck for the results release coming up real soon. I certainly wanna score an aggregate of less than 10 for my L1R5 (excl. bonus pts deduction). However, even if I didn't achieve tis target, I've already tried my best, so no point getting upset. Right? =)
