This week was kinda like the most stressful week in the whole year... Juggling three responsibilities! RE, Studies and CCA! Definitely not easy... Prelims for HCL coming once school starts... Zzz. Common Tests in the middle of term 4. Well, RE kinda ended after our presenation finished. To tell the truth it was good! My oral presentation skills improved! And we totally rocked. The markers could see that the concept of our book was good, and the methodology used told them we had given a lot of thought into our work process. So we'll do quite well! Anybody wants a copy of the gamebook? Just ask... Tests ended on thursday as well with the Chem test. Not too difficult... But neither was Physics and Bio. I'll do ok... Considering that I was practicing for concert and not mugging! Haha. K. To all those still taking tests... Don't let mistakes in one paper demoralize you. It'll just cause you to lose focus for the remaining papers! Yup. Just some advice from me... The concert ...

Hmms... Watched project superstar! Not bad... I liked Xin Hui's rendition of Beautiful by Chiristina Aguilera. I liked Gu Dan Bei Ban Qiu too... I was rooting for Xin Hui! But too bad... Well... It was fun watching! I was wondering whether Singapore would have a "Battle of the Best" kinda thingy. Singapore Idol vs Winner of Project Superstar vs Winner of Anugerah... Haha. It'll be crazy then. Thursday was supposed to be RE presentation but it sorta got cancelled cos Kenneth Low went somewhere. So me and Samuel kinda walked rounds around the school... Talked about Yu-Gi-Oh stuff... Yups. And Samuel introduced this software to me called the Yu-Gi-Oh virtual desktop! Its so cool... You can make your own decks and play online without needing any cards or card knowledge. The entire database of cards are given to you! Awesome! Well... Friday was the rehearsal, and I was a bit worried, cos the acoustics of the theatre made the guitar playing a bit hard to hear... The MCs are...

To tell the truth, I'm sick of looking at people mug around me every single day. Its as if their whole lives revolve around their results or something... Tell you guys one thing. I'm not mugging for tests. People wonder why I still can achieve results when I don't study. Simple. I love what I'm studying. As long as the love for your studies is there, you'll keep whatever you learn close to your heart and not forget it. All you have to do is look through the notes the day before. You don't have to bring your notes everyday and then study like an insane person. Yups. My grandpa went to the hospital on Sunday. I'm not sure whats the problem but... Pary for him k? I kinda managed to trick my way out of playing in the band. Cos Karthik came back to school from his recovery from dengue , so I let him resume is original spot in the band. Also, Chin Heng hasn't given me the copa score, so I think I can sit that one out too! So in total I'm playing 7 songs? M...

Hmms... Life is boring. Yup. Same thing over and over and over and over and over again. You get what I mean... Anyways, me and Sam's RE project is coming out real nice... Just the final things to sort out. For your info, we're making a fantasy gamebook, and we're incorporating a whole new fighting style called the AI. Yups. Instead of the dice rolling methods and random number tables used by other gamebooks. Yup. Its fun! When I'm done, I'll send one copy to those who asked for it... Anyways, I made a paper Yu-Gi-Oh Deck on Thursday, and I nearly thrashed Samuel's zombie deck upside down. Hehe. I think 7 victories over him should be good enough? Haha. Oh yeah Joel. I'm feeling a bit childish now... Haha. Yups. My deck's based on the theme of offense. It uses equip cards to strengthen monsters, then uses counter traps to prevent the activation of the enemy's traps and magic. Yups. Enough of that! Haha. Typing it makes me feel childish... K. On Wednesd...

Hmms. I just caught a lizard by the tail and it didn't drop its tail... Instead it kinda hung limp in my hand for awhile. When I sprinkled some water on it, it moved. And I thought it was dead... Haha. I let it go after that. I'm not so bad. I went around reading BLOGs today... Everyone seems kinda ok, you guys seem to be coping well with all the pressure. Having a good mix of fun and work. Yups. Try your best! Do God proud! K. Scholarship Day... Was kinda disappointing. Nothing for me. No forensics scholarships offered. Although they said that I could try for Police Scholarship and hopefully its relevant to what the police wants... Never the less... For my aspirations, I'll do whatever I can! I'm not gonna give up so easily... Monday. Assembly was very disappointing. I mean the performance, not the end. My mind just wasn't there in the hall I guess. I was thinking about RE... Anyways, went to Sam's house after school to do some work, as well as play Yu-Gi-Oh Ca...

Haha. K! FOP... Was great! But I didn't really jump like I did when I was at Sonic Fest. Haha. I was kinda scared I would fall or something cos I was sitting way up... But it didn't stop me from worshipping though... I knew most of the songs! Including Hillsong's new ones! Thanks to the disc I bought! Yay. I didn't know the :Delirious! songs though... Ok. So we arrived there at 6:20, but we went to the north entrance to queue and got it like in... 10 mins. Haha. Aunty Karfoon's really smart! Awesome! I heard Daryl, Tim and Hui Min got stuck outside... Aww... K. Saturday was my moms birthday! By the time we came home from FOP, it was already twelve midnight, so wished her happy birthday and went to sleep. We got her this cross pendant thingy... The next day we went to Jack's Place for lunch near Clementi Stadium. We used to go there to bowl, but... Nah. Nevermind. Anyways, we ordered lots of nice stuff, and they gave us free desert! Yups. After that went for prac...

Just when I thought I'd completed the bulk of my homework, more decides to come... 1. Phy Project 2. Phy Reflection 3. Maths Assign 10 4. Philo Essay 5. Philo Journal 6. Bio Reflection Yups. The list of people going to RIGE concert is still the same though... K. Sunday! Nice day, of course. Played for main service, and had fun. We had all these percussion instruments, a shaker, a tambourine and a rod like rain sound maker thingy, but we only used the shaker in the end. Haha. Anyways, the sermon was useful for me... What did I want to be remembered for in my family? Haven't thought about that... After service, went up to put the bass back in the cupboard. When I came down, there was this cute little cake sitting on the table. I was wondering... Is this cake for me? It was... Haha. To tell the truth at that period of time I realised something. That I was the only guy in YE history that had had this kind of treatment. Wow. This thought made me really really paiseh. I was really th...
