Once upon a time, I was falling in love
But now, I'm only falling apart
There's nothing more I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time, there was light in my life
But now, there's only love in the dark
There's nothing more I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

I am always in the dark...
I only wish for the light...

5 Days more...

Things just come up to me at the wrong time... when u msn-ed me just know.. did you know that i wasn't very willing to reply?

I dont know what u are trying to drive at.. but somehow theres still a wierd feeling coupled with ankwardness when im talking to you... is it worth giving a second chance? or am i going to screw it again?

anyway.. on a completely different note..
Some bloody loan sharks came and splashed paint on our house door.. fucked up loan sharks chasing after the previous house owner's brother... so now, theres some police in the house taking statements and theres my 2 angry parents talking to the previous owner of the house... =/

What nice things to happen to me during this period of time.. =.="

8 days to A levels
Today went airport to study with Huijun and 2 of her other friends. Not that productive.. did abit of everything... but more on maths becasue she kept asking me.. -.-"
In addition i felt like i kena scam at the kopitiam there.. ordered $6 worth of fried noodles... but the quantity didnt seem to differ much as compared tot he $4.50 one.. =( ended up eating an unfilling dinner... what a waste of $..

Anyway, heres a new song which i came across and liked... enjoy!

David Archuleta-Crush
hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?'
Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?'
Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

10 days to A levels...

Today went to sch at abt 7plus even though my 1st consultation only started at 10.. im so bored at home that i rather go to sch that early.. anyway, consultation was a waste of time in my opinion.. forgot to bring the stuff i wanted to clarify.. so it was sort of verbal revision...

After my consultation i went to look for huiun because she said she needed help in maths... the idiotic thing was that she actually forgot abt me being in sch so so se left for siglap 1st... @%$@#$$% after i read her msg i was like “ wtf, like that also forget.. =.=”

In the end i still made my way to siglap cafe cartel to study with huijun and tracy. The differences between tampines and siglap cafe cartel was obvious.. siglap had better service and the food tasted better.. especially the oreo frappe.. =D Huijun also “cheated” a mocha frappe from them... ordered it verbally for tracy, as a result, it was not keyed into the register.. =/

Did econs, physics and chemistry during the 6 hours at cafe cartel.. cant really say that it was a good session as i expected to do more... then we had a quick dinner at hong kong cafe next door.

Exams are looming closer and closer.. it would do good for me too actually feel stressed for once during an important exam..

11 days to A levels…
Finally the drive to study is slowly flowing back to me…


Today was a long day in sch… GP essay test was crap, didn’t know how to write my essay for 1 hour, until I gave up and changed my point of view.. then chionged 2 pages in half hour.. then studied abit before going for phy night lessons the bloody library room was so cold, I was shivering the whole time during the night lesson.. not feeling too good now.. especially after eating lots of junk food for dinner – Long John Silvers…

Sigh.. been drifting off into my thoughts more frequently now.. I just cant help it.. the moment im not talking to my friends i just think about stuff I should be thinking abt now… I dunno why, but u are becoming increasing hard to talk with…

Oh well, at least im feeling a little bit motivated to study now… but the thought of next week just makes me wanna curse and swear… damn.. for everyday im not in sch.. my mum wants me to be in the library under her watchful eye.. just so that shes sure im studying.. =.=”

Studying at home isn’t doing too well nowadays, due to me having a brother who loves playing CS at night…

Dun even know why im still blogging at this time of the night when I should be sleeping early to calibrate my biological clock.. lol…

12 days to A levels...
Forcing myself to revise and not drift off into my thoughts...

Today's lesson was only an hour long 8-9am.. so i spent most of the morning playing basketball.. glad that my ankle has recovered enough for me to play awhile.. but still cant jump as high as before... ><"

Then went to the library to rest, ended up playing cards with billy and nick toh for like 1 to 2 hrs? then i settled down to try getting the hang of my maths tutorial, but i was so tried that i decided to go home...

The basketball game had helped take some things of my mind for the moment... but now the obvious problem is the lack of motivation to revise and study. Damn, when will that drive come? i hope it wont be too late by then... =/

Ok.. less than 2 weeks to A levels... i've been asking myself "Why am i still not feeling stressed or in the mood to study?!?!? Why am i still online and blogging?"
Not being productive these few days, didnt study much, in addition, i still have some topics from some subjects to clear up... sigh.. i dun even have the mood to talk abt studies, let alone bury myself in my notes... -.-"

PSP got confiscated again.. T_T mum came across it while cleaning the floor and moving my bag, noticed that i was charging it.. -.-" well, its not exactly a bad thing, with the exams coming... But i just cant stand my mum recently.. just becasue the psp was with me, she said that i must be playing the whole time without studying.. and when i couldnt print my stuff and need to use the computer, she said something like "you purposely spoiled the printer or the server right?" screw her.. dammit

So from now till 18th november, im gonna be stuck at home, unable to go out - not even studying. My mum doesnt find group studying good... f***

Find myself daydreaming and drifting off into my own world more frequently... thinking alot abt stuff i shouldnt be thinking abt, its just gonna drain me out... its just emptiness, loneliness which friends can only do so much to alleviate it...

Just hope that i would find the motivation and will to press on for these few weeks....

Part two of the previous post postponed to after my friend upload the photos..

Anyway, extra lesson still bearable, except that everybody has sstaring their process of mugging.. while im still struggling to even cross over form slacking to mugging. Ive never liked sitting down and studying some stupid econs or chemisty, maybe thats why ive always done better in subjuect which require more applications.

Sprained ankle much better.. able to run to a certain extent, i even went to playi abti of basketball to see if im able to play. In the end, my legs muscles tired out... Even if it was for a short while and that i did not exert alot.. i still felt better after that.

Haven been feeling in the right frame of mind today, for some reason, i felt real tired throughout the day and suddenly felt like being alone - something that i dont usually want. maybe its becasue of the things happening recently (not to me.. but the changes in the environment.. =/)

Here are a few sentences (or words) dedicated to each of you....

In no particular order...

Eviaz aka Nick Toh : Great friend to be with, but like to exaggerate alot abt alot of things.. lol.. Great squash mate too, but still below me.. =D till now i have no idea why u wanted to change your name.. maybe because it was the same as mine?

Jeffrey : The slacker, epecially in GP... haha.. always tio shoot by Ms Yap, also like to crap alot. Funny thing was that we were once neighbours for like dunno how many years. And yet we nvr met each other.. =/

Billy : PSP cum Pool cum Basketball cum Chinese Chess cum Bridge cum TaiDi cum Crap mate.. LOL.. theres so many things that we do that we always laugh at, be in class, PE lessons, outside, or even during exams. May be quiet at times, but if you know him enough, he he actually quite sociable. And dont offer him sweets, this guy and finishes them damn fast..

Casper aka Weichao : this lamer is another guy i hang out with in school along with billy, dunno why his year he started being lame..=/ anyway, hardworking guy, and seldom go out with us, but he always goes out with billy.. =/

Mushroom aka Yew Wee : nick-named by huijun, dun come after me lol. Nice guy to talk to, although i nvr really chat with you so much.

Snorlax aka Zhen Ming : erm, again, huijun nick named you, so... another pro chinese chess player, pro maths and phy student. You are sometimes damn funny although there are times i dun understand you due to ur accent. but it doesnt matter.. ur still a good friend..

Hadi : this guy ar.. our form teacher's favourite haha, she said that hadi was quite handsome.. lol... can be a joker at times, btw, if u really one to play chinese chess, 1st learn how to reconise the words 1st LOL, damn funny when u mixup the pieces.

Khryul : Another joker, lol.. although i only started to talk to you recently, just like wad u said, better later than not at all. btw, i cant really determine if you are a slacker or mugger, u seem to slack o much but you still get decent grades.. haha..

Meizhen : Mei Zhen Xiang Ba Gua.. LOL... This girl one of the more sociable ppl in the class, can chat with her about anything one.. haha.. and dun u dare call me little brother again.. LOL

Lovelle aka Huijun : The self-proclaimed "PRINCESS". This gal super sociable, and the good thing is that i can actually kill time by sms-ing you becasue you have unimited and i dun mind spamming smses. Also quite careless, can almost compare to me already. Dun press calculator wrong already!! And try harder on ur work, dun always ask me already then after awhile say you found out how to do.. =.="

Qiuyu : Best friend of huijun. Dunno izzit becasue u always stick to the more talkative huijun such that i talk more to her than you. even when both of you together. Anyway, quite a hardworking girl, most of the time study with ziqi. Sometimes the silly things u and huijun do just makes me laugh..

Ziqi : I guess i must have irritated you alot by asking you abt hw and sch all the time. lol, but bo nian, im the blur and forgetful type, while you are the neat and everything record properly type. haha.. This girl another hardworking one. Just like what her cousin said, "there isnt a test which ziqi nvr studied for."

Tracy : Chat cum Viwawa mate. korean addict.. lol also my chess disciple. LOL.. And stop calling me bai ka.. im recovering soon.. Only started chating with her this year, both in class and on msn, she's one of the few people in our class that still goes online that i talk too.

Nisha : Despite knowing you from secondary sch, i can really say we know each other that well? at least we can still talk to each other abt some random stuffs.

Wawa aka Wahida : another korean addict just like tracy, no wonder u two are best pals. Im waiting to eat ur yong tao fu at ur wedding! ROFL

Gui Feng : Nvr talk much to you excpet last year when we in squash together.

Shalini : another hardworking and quiet girl. The second person on my sms list before ziqi when i forget sch stuffs. =/

Maths test today was a waste of time in my opinion.. envrionment didnt feel like an exam at all... oh well, marked our paper on the spot and found out i was still short of my target, partially becasue i wasnt trying hard enough. Earlier in the day, we spent our time from 9am to 1pm playing chess and we had fun breaking records my psp games... haha
Damn, there are 2 people in the class whose chinese chess skills are better than mine.

anyway.. nothing much today... except that during the car ride home from sch, there was this song playing on the radio then brought back memories. certain songs just mirrors certain parts or happenings in my life. sometimes these memories can be painful.. justifying my opinion that time may not be able to heal all wounds...

shit.. im starting to feel the pressure of the exams already... please let me pull through this sucessfully... =/

hmm.. now that the final exams are coming.. most people already started their countdown to "doomsday"or whatever... For me im countung down to a different "hell".. lol

My mum is gonna take leave starting 27th october for some research on her work. The best part is that she wants me to be in the library with her so she can watch me studying.. =.=" @#@$%#^$&%* and she wouldnt even allow me to meet up for group study... damn... so now its abt like 20 days.. zzz..



Today after school. went to sch library to practise integration with huijun and study with yew wee... huijun decided to charge her phone, so she pluged it to the pillar a few steps away from our table and left her phone on the table. soon, somebody walked past, tripped on the wire and her phone "flew" lol... thats not all. So huijun learnt her lesson and held on to her handphone so as not to let it drop again, and once again another person tripped on the wire, luckily, huijun held her phone so tightly that it didnt fall from her hands, unluckily, the wire couldnt withstand the tension and broke.. =.="




see the broken wire?



And so I was like "wa.. lucky yew wee didnt charge his itouch there" and is was damn funny after the wire broke, i and huijun were shocked at the broken charger while the girl who tripped over it, kept telling huijun that she would pay for the charger even though none of us knew how much a charger was and where to buy one.. -.-"


Result of that studying session? abt 3 hours - 4 integration qns and 1 phy qn... =.="

sigh.. now gonna chiong my hw already, otherwise will tio scolding form the teacher who gave me a freaking "VERY GOOD" instead of an "EXCELLENT"

oh great.. just becasue i couldnt use the internet a few months back, and now, we have to sit right in front for our prom night... which is like beside the stage? damn.. how nice is that? -.-"

still cant find motivation to work hard for exams... mentality is sitll like the one i used for my O lvls and prelims.. one word to describe that : overconfident.. =/

dont really know what i dont know.. at least i know what i haven't studied and which subjects im weak in. but nowadays i only feel like doing maths...=/ which on the bright side is not a bad thing.. haha.. maybe i shall not dissapoint myself with my maths grade this time...

I can finally remove my bandage on my ankle tmr..=D but im not sure if its fully healed... hope i can get back to palying basketball asap, and please dun let my ankle affect my jumping height.. =X

could use some serious relaxation now.. =/

Didnt have lessons yesterday, becasue phy teacher pushed the lesson forward, and my sprained ankle meant no PE for me.. =D

So heres what i did
7am : Reached school (so as not to let my mum know im going out)
8am : Reached 201 Mac to study with tracy
12am : lunch with tracy and tried to get people to play pool with us.
12.50pm : Played pool with tracy at downtown.. [only the 2 of us.. abit sian.. lol]
1.50pm : walked around
2.30pm: lunch at some korean restaurant. [maybe not restaurant, but it felt like one lol]
3.35pm : Watched house bunny
5.30pm : played arcade while we waited for nic toh to come
6.30pm: played pool again with tracy and nic toh
7.15: went home

So i was effective out for like 12 hours, hanging out with 1 person... one of the arcade games were damn cheater. the display showed : $1
ok, i thought and went to tap my card getting ready to play, the next moment on the screen it read "please insert more coins"

wth? $2 for some shooting game? i wouldnt have touched it if i had known.. zzz..

Even so, that wasnt a good enough relaxation sessions for me...
Damn.. i really need some way to release my frustration, having a sprained ankle means that im unable to "de-stress" like how i used to by playing basketball.

Maybe talking about it would make me feel better, but it just sucks when you find that you have no one to talk or confide in and that you dont have anyone whom you can really trust. maybe im being over-cautious, but i have been stabbed in the back before and i wont let it happen again.
.
.
.

phew.. felt a little bit better shooting my mouth off... sorry if i offended any of you by saying that u cant be trusted.. -.-" just needed an outlet to vent my frustration...
