ok i am so super screwed financially.
i have lost my entire savings, which isnt much to begin with because i hardly ever save.
every month i just spend whatever money i have there and then,
most of the time on recess and lunch. eating a lot.
i love my food.
thus my fatness. but thats besides the point.
i am as isaac would put it, at negative.
i owe people money!
a total of well, close to 100 dollars.
well done sam chan.
i finally bought the 2 cds i wanted. both gwen stefani albums.
i bought new earphones.
but it seems to me that i am unable to tell the difference
between the new earphones and the ipod issued ones.
i really hope i didnt waste my money. darn.
ahhhh
o o my younger sister is going off tomorrow morning to shanghai
for her sabbatical. if that is how you spell it.
BYEBYE!
i shall send her off early in the morning haha.

a day of leisurely activities
right this is quite stupid really but hey, ever since coming online about 35 minutes ago, more or less at least, i have not had a single msn conversation. normally, i would have at least one ongoing msn conversation because i am someone without a life and msn is all i ever do. i was half serious by the way. right and now i have to resist the urge to initiate a msn conversation with someone.
today was a day for leisurely activities. some of which i did and others which i could not do due to circumstances.
leisure activity: sleeping in
status: failed
i woke up to a rather drizzly and slightly overcast saturday morning. now it is the kind of weather which would make sleeping in ideal. however i woke up around eight thirty as i had to be in school for the methodist youth and children centre camp meeting. it was supposed to start at ten thirty. and i decided to pon the national youth achievement award gold logging, which was supposed to start at nine.
random note: upon reaching school, there were many others who reached school at nine for the logging session, which was cancelled. they were all complaining of waking up early. i must say i was quite fortunate there.
leisure activity: lazing the afternoon away
status: accomplished
after lunch with my uncle, mom, younger sister and my grandfather, we proceeded to the home in which my grandfather is residing in. after a few journeys i finally reached home at two forty five i think. well i did some reading; re-reading the last bit of Charlotte's Web, reading the newspapers. it did not take long for me to feel slumber overcoming me and i decided to take a short nap. or rather a short rest. i switched off the radio that i was listening to and set my phone alarm to three fifty seven. this is to allow me to wake up and listen to stripped. for those in the dark, it is a programme on nineeightsevenfm which plays songs that have been "stripped". from the usual versions, songs are now mostly acoustic guitar led or piano led and things like electric guitars and drums are minimised or entirely cut out. i really like acoustic songs. thus i woke up in time for i was barely asleep, which made waking up much easier. however i continued to lie on the couch listening to the stripped songs. the house was empty and i felt really good then. kind of peaceful and all. indeed a leisurely activity.
i continued listening to the radio even after the one hour programme, stripped, was over. i proceeded to continue on my jigsaw puzzle which have been sorely neglected by me. well not much progress was made actually. it still seems as challenging to me as i left it. i decided not to run and instead just continued doing the puzzle at my own relaxed pace.
leisure activity: evening stroll
status: accomplished
after a relatively filling dinner, i decided to take a walk after dinner. it is an activity which i do only about once a year. the evening was clear, quiet and to a certain extent peaceful. i took a nice slow walk, much like a stroll and enjoyed looking at the reflections of the water body that i was walking along. it is actually a canal but it really is not as repulsive as the name could possibly suggest. i saw the moon while walking. it was yellow, round and big. it is most probably due to the fact that it was so close to the earth and at a shallow angle i think. it was low in the sky, where there is probably an angle of elevation of thirty five degrees, give or take give degrees. over time it got higher and brighter in the sky, however seeing the big yellow moon and the reflection it cast upon the water was in a way therapeutic. the whole evening stroll thing was really good and i would not mind doing it again.
i am pretty sure there are a few other things out there which are leisurely too, however i am unable to figure them out at the moment. maybe in a way blogging could be a leisure activity for me. reflecting upon the day and looking back at all the things that happened. it is probably something i like to do. since i highly doubt that anyone would torture themselves by reading through the post up to this point, (i must admit the small font is not very eye-friendly) i shall continue to prolong this post by reflecting upon the school year that ended not too long ago.
leisure activity: reflecting
status: in progress
the year probably started for me when i received the phone call from mr bongard, the prefect master, informing me of my successful attempt in running for prefect council. i was now a prefect councilor for the prefectorial board in 2007. throughout the holidays, there were a few meetings here and there, planning for the end of year camp and preparing for the year ahead. i guess i shall look back at the pre-fall ins every monday morning, reaching school before six forty five, having to wear black shoes at the same time with a special kind of fondness. every morning, walking out with mark to oversee the main section of the school where the latecomers are booked, trying our best to fulfill our duties as the councilors in charge of morning assembly duties. having to deal with a few difficult students who refuse to give their cooperation, having to make changes to our system. i shall remember the frustration we felt when each morning we would see a few additional people patrolling when they should not be, the stress when duties like bell duty and pledge duty are not done properly.
one of the more memorable things for me would be those evening duties. staying back after school or coming back on a late saturday afternoon to open the boardroom and prepare to brief the prefects on duty. sometimes collecting the refreshments which mr bongard has kindly provided for every prefect, placing them in the fridge and watching the prefects come in one by one. briefing for the prefects done, proceeding out to oversee the whole duty along with mark. making sure cars are parked properly and assisting when a problem arises. towards the end of our term when the prefects are more familiar with their tasks, we would sometimes just stand around and chat with the prefects. i can remember those gossiping sessions, yes i do gossip. haha. seeing the cars come in, trickling in at first before arriving in droves and then back to the far and few pattern when the event has already started. we walk out with the sky bright and clear, and end with the sky all dark. after debrief, locking up the boardroom (most of the time anyway) and then walking to the bus stop when it is eight thirty. walking along the astro turf, the school quiet. i love those kind of duties.
i can look back at those nights i spent in school. staying overnight before the end of year camp, sec two training camp, sec three training camp, prefects dedication service. the pranks at night, starting first with the eve of prefects dedication service, continuing to the rest of council on the eve of sec two training camp and ending with the prank just for mark yeo and the sec threes on one of the nights during sec three training camp. there was one night where i stayed over in school alone, the eve of methodist walk.
the prefects on duty had to be in school by six in the morning and i had to be there earlier as i have to open the boardroom. moreover, since i asked the prefects to be there at six, i feel that it is only right for me to be earlier than them, to set that example. i decided to stay overnight, which was a great choice. i spent the night preparing an elaborate plan on what was going to happen on the white board, i enjoyed the school at eleven. all quiet without a single soul in sight or sound. the school very much well lit and just so peaceful. it is really a sight to behold i guess. special in its own way.
i remember spending the night preparing for prefects dedication service, it was already two in the morning but we were still pranking or preparing for our big day.
all the council experiences, carls junior meetings at vivo city, bob meeting which started at pasta mania in harbour front centre and ending in some coffee chain in vivo city. going to sentosa during sec three training camp. not forgetting the running around during council camp last year.
a council experience i will never forget in the near future.
there is probably a lot more i can talk on concerning my experience in the prefectorial board, a whole lot more. however i think i shall stop for now.
there is the experience of being in debate as a sec four. however things are largely forgettable. julia gabriels and other things. moreover i have a bittersweet relationship with debate and because of the bitter component, i shall refrain from commenting too much except that this is the end of 4 generally wonderful years as a debater. from a noob to a not as noob debater. all the experience from training as a sec one to being in the school team to dep junior to the various spars and friendships made. well i did not think it would end the way it did but i have moved on.
the next thing i would remember is my third commitment in school this year. boys' brigade. since this post is already really long and it is getting quite late, i do not really have the wish to talk a lot about it. since i withdrew my admin application last year to run for prefect council, i have followed the commitment i made there and then as best as i could. the commitment i made to prefects, as such resulting in my commitment in boys brigade dropping. i went for parades whenever i could, but i never took that active role. because i was not in the position to do so; looking at my admin position (which officially was nothing i think), and i tried not to interfere too much because i had to respect the position of others. i have this tendency to come in when i feel that things are not as efficient as it can be and sometimes it compromises on the authority of the person. i guess it is this flaw in me that i have to try and control for i committed that "mistake", as i would call it, today. i was standing in the background most of the time, and needless to say, hardly any of the sec ones noticed me. i guess at times it can hurt a bit when you have been around for a few weeks and yet those that you are in charged of and tasked to take care of just ignore you. but i guess it is made up for when i know all of my prefect juniors, both sec threes and sec twos, becoming friends with most of them rather than mere senior and juniors. i participated in the target award camp, walked with them during the hike, but somehow i just do not feel this burden for them as of yet. a good bb experience overall since sec one, a great one in fact. but a rather subdued sec four year, in a sense.
then there is the academic side. my results in term one were ok, what i usually get. the same goes for term two. the same goes for term three and i did better than expected in term four. overall i did well for my academics this year. however there is one sad thing and that is probably my chinese o level getting a mere bfour. i am retaking my chinese o level next wednesday and not doing much to try and improve my grade. sigh.
the end of year holiday is here. mixed reaction. so many things to expect next year, both the known and the unknown. it terrifies me. there are lots of preparations that one has to do for next year in order not to fall behind. there is supposedly a lot of time and i know that in reality it is not. i just hope that i keep that in mind and use it wisely, yet most probably i will waste it all away.
the school year is over. a great sec four school year i must say. i will most probably miss it.
i have read some of my friend's post on the last day of school. sec twos and sec fours, and it seems to me some of them have cried because they are sad. (mostly girls, or all girls) well i am not being sexist here but i guess if one is more emotional and has a stronger bond with his/her class, then i guess tears can flow. as for me, no tears.

basically, i am most probably going to waste the holidays.
what a pity.

im screwing something up consciously. and that sucks.

on the other hand...
ok nvm shall not talk about it. this is not good.
i need to do something about it soon.
no now.
the problem is that i dont seem to have this want to.
not one that is strong enough apparently.
random note. ive started to fall in love with your guardian angel again.
random note. im starting to like false pretense.
coincidence. both songs are by the red jumpsuit apparatus.
random note. im starting to like the red jumpsuit apparatus.
the songs they sing and all, they're nice. haha
o well live the dream is on now.
watching the part where the click 5 is singing.
haha i must say recently ive started to like some of their songs.
good day (the old click 5), jenny and empty.
they sang empty first.
which is a nice song, but i think kyle patrick didnt kind of hit it as well
compared to the one i have, which should be the recorded version.
well i mean singing live is a different thing and i feel he's not as good live.
but nonetheless not bad. haha
and then they're singing jenny now.
and halfway through they had victor tang, fendi, the singers for catsinecradle and by definition singing too
eee spoil the song!
ok the by def lead singer guy is quite good, so not so bad. the rest yeah, just wrong.
maybe i would buy the album.
but my mom would scold me.
i need to save up for earphones...
for more cds. i have 2 in mind. both are very old albums.
l.a.m.b and the sweet escape, both by gwen stefani.
sigh.
i need to get it right.
once i get it right, everything else will be alright.

o right. the words in brackets for the verse is the echo
while the bracketed words for the chorus are sung at the same time
it has this very nice sound to it when it is sung at the same time.
moreover, i think the words are really meaningful.
reminds me of so many things.

I miss: (i rather keep this to myself)
and with that i end the quiz.
well parents complain that the PSLE questions were difficult. some of the maths questions. pupils cry. like you know have tears flowing down those soon-to-be-puberty-striken cheeks of theirs. yay The Sunday Times decided to publish 3 of those questions. on one hand you have this math teacher who has taught p6 pupils for 40 years. o yeah he's retired. he took a relatively long time to solve them and had a use a calculator. o.0 on the other hand, you have the top psle pupil in 2005 and his p5 brother who managed to do it. commenting those questions are actually quite easy or typical.
ok i tried to do it. i did it during the tv commercials because i wanted to see how long i would take if i just focused on it.
ok there was the 3 marks question.
come come i shall be brave enough to admit i didnt know how to solve it at first. i just wrote what i knew at first, like the 4:1 ratio. then wrote let x be the amount sold. and then it just flowed until i got the answer. didnt break a sweat. i just let the ideas lead me on. haha but i used algebra, and most people wouldnt use algebra to solve questions, not in p6. i wouldnt i think. and 3 marks is kind of stingy in my opinion. haha
there was the 5 marks question.
statement 1: 6/14 chairs in rows of 13
statement 2: 7/14 chairs in rows of 7
statement 3: 1/14 = 112 (because they mentioned there were 112 more chairs in rows of 7 and well the difference is 1/14 no?)
statement 4: no. of chairs = 112 X 14 = whatever the answer is, i cant remember.
i took 4 statements to solve the question in probalby 30 seconds. 5 marks? question to make people cry? please that was freaking easy! too easy. i guess the pupils are too stupid to write down what they know. statements 1 and 2 is just rewriting the info given. statement 3 is similar, but just giving meaning to the info given. eee not challenging. what a disappointment.
and then the 4 marks question.
yeah i didnt think much lol. i just wrote what i know and do instinctive stuff like find out volume of water then see what else i can do. used algebra and slowly do stuff. i found out i made a mistake when i put "=" when it should have been ":" because it was a ratio kind of thing. i dunno. then lalala do by instinct then i solved it. again i had to use algebra. but i managed to do it in less than 1 minute i think.
altogether i took, maybe a maximum of 5 minutes to do those questions. but i think it was much less. not trying to boast or anything but those questions are normal questions in my opinion. maybe because i was in the gep, so exposed to such stuff more? but im not sure what it would be like when im p6. but i know i could do the 5 marks question for sure. the rest maybe some difficulty.
please!! dont over react. stupid parents. let us give super easy questions all the time and give your child the impression that omg im super smart! yay! then when he go out into the world, doing international exams or similar tests whereby there has to be a set standard, he'll be thinking omg im super smart yay!. and as mabel would say, ogay i don't know all of these. eh i owned PSLE math but how come everything so challenging? and i tell you they would cry more than they did now.
how do you expect your child to improve if he/she is not being pushed? and of course he/she cannot expect everything to be a bed of roses unless he/she go plants king-sized beds of roses over every single inch of the earth. and that is just not possible. there are areas where it is non-arable land and thus cannot grow anything on it. those are rough patches in life. so its part and parcel of life. tears and setbacks too. writing into the forum and what not is sooo stupid. complaining and what not. i hate these kind of parents. usually give their kids o so much pressure
EH! that next door neighbour boy always getting A*, so you must too ok? go study hard and get straight A*s then you can hold your head high. go study go study! must get good grades ok? then mummy and daddy will be proud of you. you must (add pressure add stress make the child feel like if he doesnt do well he will get murdered).
OMG I FAILED TO DO THAT QUESTION AND THAT TOO. IM GOING TO FAIL. DIE.
cry cry cry. i am sad. cry cry cry. i am a p6 kid and on the brink of teenage years. cry cry cry. i am a grown up kid, almost no longer a kid. cry cry cry
seriously. they probably cry even though they're the big boys and big girls of their schools because of the stress and they feel they wont deliver and so die. and then the parents go complain saying the questions too difficult and blames those tears on the paper and the examination board thing. sigh i hate it.
what a load of rubbish.
on a random note, i went running today.
after not running for a week. my last run was last sunday.
it was either raining or i have been lazy this whole week. haha
and i got lazy today. i decided to run 2km instead of the usual 3km.
i decided to whack 2km.
well i whacked, i felt the about 200ml of pepsi i drank less than an hour ago in my stomach in the later half of my run
i had stitches. not good.
hoping that the 2km run was less than 9 minutes and around 8minutes.
dont know la. hope that its good.
ooo i didnt realise it was so late already. i think its time i go off.
right i need to blog on my other blog about some stuff.
sc
I need: to read new moon, to start drawing out the interior designs of my soon to be redecorated room, to draw out designs to paint the walls, to go to a bookstore to get books, cooking books as well. Bake, cook, draw, sing, talk to a lot of people.

ok i got my results back already. but it is only for eoys, not sure how my results for the whole year will turn out.
i'm too lazy to post the other stuff like what i got for mcq and stuff, so its just the percentages.
language arts: 72%
chinese: 79%
core maths: 87.5% round off to 88%
add maths : 72.5%, moderation of 8 marks, 80.5% round off to 81%
chemistry: 65%, moderation of 5 marks, 70%
physics: 64.167% round off to 64%
geography: 73%
ihs: 85%
overall average: 76.5%
well i expected to fail for language arts or get below 60. so im happy with 72%.
im relatively happy with chinese and core maths, although it would be nice to see a 8 and 9 in front respectively. haha
i was hoping for above 70 for a maths, and thats what i got! the moderation gave me an 8 in front for the first time for a math. my first ever test score was 28% for the term 1 test last year. haha i feel happy.
quite disappointed with chemistry. i studied quite hard for it, and just didnt do well during the paper. forgot a lot of stuff, or maybe i didnt study properly for it. sigh and the 65% is definitely disappointing for me. thank goodness for moderation, so i have 70, bare minimum for 6 points.
physics, haha i thought i was going to fail, seriously. so getting 64% is not too bad i guess. my only subject below 70! usually chinese would accompany it but thanks to the easier IB format, can get higher.
i handed up the geography paper telling my teacher that if i got abov 30 for the paper, i'd be happy. well i got 36.5, haha so i was surprised. good good.
ihs is not too bad, considering that this year i havent been doing well. last year i never got below 80 for ihs, and now this time is my only time getting above 80. so sad right?
overall im happy. usually i get an overall average of 70.something or 71.something. to get 76.something is really something i never ever dreamt of. ok right almost everyone in class did well too, but i shall try not to think of that so that i can be happier! haha
ib points system, i think i got 39 points. not bad, im happy enough. haha now i gotta see how my whole year will turn out. i hope i can do better.
of course i must be a fool to think that i actually got those marks.
all thanks should go to God.
my grades, being much better than what i normally get, are the work of God.
thank you God, for how you have blessed me with good grades for this exams Lord. help me not to become proud of my achievements, for i achieve nothing without You, instead help me to remember all that You have done for me and give You praise for them.

one day i need to sit down and start to reflect on things,
ok never mind im too distracted now.
ooo i watched the notebook today.
some nc-16 movie that my sisters and i rented on saturday.
the notebook.
haha its really sweet.
within the first few minutes and i could already sense a really sweet show ahahas
but i didnt like the external story.
like its a story in a story, and i prefer the story that was in the story.
ok nvm go watch it if you dont understand what im talking about.
i have no idea why its nc-16.
it mentioned sexual references there.
and the most sexual reference i can recall is when she says make love to me to him.
i dont think that warrants a nc-16 label.
and ok granted, there are a few really suggestive scenes,
the girl's bare back being shown while being carried up the stairs by the guy
and then theyre on the the bed, naked, and well there are certain movements
but yeah. thats about it. o well.
i shall find time to watch the other 4 dvds before need to return. haha
i shall become a couch potato before results come back.
i shall bury myself in the wonderful music of kt tunstall. haha
i am going mad.
school starts tomorrow. what a pity. its too soon.

haha im seriously going broke.
went for dinner with my family at billy bombers.
ok it was seriously expensive, as least the bill for my 2 sisters and i
because we ordered ala carte instead of set meal i think.
omg total bill for 3 of us, well lets say it almost reached 3 digits. o gosh
i ordered, what was it? chic n ribs or something.
its like half a spring chicken and ribs.
haha it was seriously a lot. but i managed to expand my stomach and so i didnt feel that full
erm right haha ok.
i like the drink. i took the drink called "sophia"
for reasons i shall not specify. haha but its probably relatively obvious. especially after what happened yesterday...
during dinner we saw uncle james and jason. haha how cool was that?
and towards the end after walking around we saw jiayi and his girl friend (note the space)
haha so cool.
after dinner we walked around. and thats where im going to go broke. haha
i have this quite long wishlist, and seriously not enough cash to allow me to get what i want. darn.
we went to look at cds. rented some dvds.
rented 5. er.. 2 nc-16 movies my younger sister wanted to watch
theyre more of the romantic kind if im not wrong. like love story.
then i wanted to rent letters from iwo jima and flags of our fathers.
and since its 3 for $10 or 5 for $15, we took 5. so added the devil loves prada.
ok hope i got time to watch. whee!!
o o and i wanted to get the hairspray soundtrack.
i didnt watch the movie though. pity. but my elder sis did. haha
so we're sharing it. thank goodness.
then i wanted to get another cd. it was either
kelly clarkson's latest album, i cant remember what it is called
or kt tunstall, whom ive never ever heard in my life.
and well kelly clarkson was cheaper by i think 4 dollars.
and in the end i decided to get kt tunstall.
haha i have no idea what to expect.
did i mention that i think she's quite pretty
haha i shall listen to her later i think.
just imported the hairspray soundtrack into itunes and am listening to it now.
hm not too bad haha.
i mainly bought it because i like the song that is on the radio, you cant stop the beat.
and there goes 32.something dollars...
ok my wishlist.
1) a bag of a certain kind. im too lazy to specify it here.
2) shoes. thinking of getting converse... and no more running shoes. 2 pairs are good enough.
3) clothes. more shirts, shorts and another pair of jeans.
4) more cds. like duh omg i cant get enough haha
5) my sister's birthday cum christmas present. its a shared thing but well. its supposed to be kept secret from her. since this is a public domain... well
6) a new set of ear phones. the ones that came with the nano are getting worn out...
7) hm i cant really think of much now. but already whatever is above is way too much for me already.
ok i need to stop eating so much and save up more. control myself. try to convince some people to subsidise some stuff? haha o well.
plus i need something more above all those mentioned above.
exactly 2 years from this date, 13th october 2005.

yay yay!
ive made good progress on my jigsaw puzzle.
the box says 1500 pieces. well i got conned. again!!
ok in june it was supposed to be 1000 pieces. but it was 999.
it was 27 X 37 if im not wrong. so its not 1000 pieces.
now its supposed to be 1500 pieces, but i think it might be 1530.
its 45 X 34.
im listening to the radio now. wow wow what a surprise.
they're playing your guardian angel (acoustic).
omg i so love acoustic songs. to hear the acoustic version is like omg. haha
its quite nice. and its no.3 in singapore! on the 987fm charts.
when you're gone is playing now. no. 2
which means it dropped from 1 last week. eh it only stayed there for 1 week!!
like the great escape, which is 5.
and that means jenny by the click 5 is no. 1! i think.
haha im listening so often to the radio now.
partly because i try to maximise the time i have to do my jigsaw puzzle,
since i only do it in natural light, it means only in the morning and the afternoon,
before it gets too dark. i sort of killed my eyes yesterday trying to do it when it was dark..
but i really didnt want to let it hang loose like that. but i gave up.
so today i finished up that portion and went on to finish the colourful bits.
like all the fishes and what not. so what i have left are blue pieces.
the sky, the sea, the whales and other fishes that are extremely similar in colour to the sea.
o gosh like seriously one glance and all i see are blue pieces. haha
ok back to the radio bit.
and so i switch on the radio while i do my puzzle, which is like whenever im not eating?
haha and sometimes i end up sleeping...must give my brain a rest (:
plus i try to listen to desiree because
well i mentioned it before, so i shall not say it again. haha
haha i watched john tucker must die today.
my sister rented, along with just like heaven and nanny mcphee.
watched nanny mcphee last night.
haha its quite an amusing show. and one of the 7 kids was quite pretty, the girl one of course.
and the baby!! haha the baby was soo cute!
especially when she was going to be "eaten"
whee!
john tucker must die is quite funny.
you have your normal chick flick kind of thing...haha
sophia bush is quite hot.
then the other girl is quite pretty too, but mostly when her hair is tied back or something.
i like the part when sophia bush was kissing the other girl
haha when it happened, this guy went
holy jama lama, could you kiss her again?
ok right sam chan.
i shall try to be happy.
AHAHAS

o gosh today is so funny...
we were meant to meet at eunos mrt at 12.
and since i live like at the other end of the island all the way at lakeside,
i wanted to be sure they were meeting. i didnt want to make a trip all the way there and find out it would be a wasted trip.
i tried to call russell, he was having tuition
i tried calling jason, his phone had problems
i called jonas. i heard the background noise of the train.
o gosh i was at home. and it was 11something already!
so basically i rushed a bit, and reach eunos mrt at 1230.
I WAS HALF AN HOUR LATE! O GOSH SORRY!
then isaac was quite pissed. haha
they waited for me at the station! i thought they would go east coast first.
see we were meant to go east coast to cyle,
russell, jason, jonas, isaac, bazhang bryan and i.
oops im really sorry guys!
then we followed bazhang across the road,
took this bus to another bus stop,
crossed the road and waited for bus service 401.
after waiting for like forever,
seeing bus 24 pass by at least 3 times,
seeing bus 25 pass by at least twice,
seeing bus 30 pass by at least twice,
seeing at least 6 other buses pass by,
we checked the board again and realised it was a weekend bus ><
o gosh and then we took cab.
isaac hailed one down in 3 seconds. so lucky.
so he, jonas and bazhang left.
bryan jason and i had to get another.
it took us 20 minutes to get another. o man it was sooo long.
we had to walk super far to get a cab. and then we were late.
we went to the bike rental, rented bikes for 6 dollars for 2 hours,
thought i saw yee chuin there, and it turned out to be her. haha
but i didnt say hi. and she didnt even see me! ): o well haha
we cycled..
and we all ended up complaining of how our butts/balls hurt because of the seat
except isaac, who brought his own inline skates. haha
it was quite fun cycling..and i did some weird chiong thing at times
haha i think im mad.
went 7-11 to get some drinks.
isaac bought a 1.5litre bottle of water.
bryan bought a super big gulp.
jason, jonas, russell and i bought a large slurpee, the smaller one.
becuase it was like slurpee wednesday, buy 1 large slurpee get another free.
like seriously la, how cool is that?
haha
i havent had a slurpee in ages!!!
then we gave the bikes back even though 2 hours wasnt done. almost anyway.
went bowling. played 2 games before i had to go.
haha i broke the 100 pinfall thing for the first and only time in my life!!!
128 pinfalls. i beat bryan! by 4. haha
then the next game i died. only 71 pinfalls.
too tired. i had how many gutter balls, so sad.
im super weak.
and then the great race to go home!
my mom told me to reach home by 5.
i was like never mind la, by 6 can one. wont get into trouble.
i left the bowling place at 505.
by the time reach bus stop like 5+.
had to wait really long to get a bus, then when i do, go eunos and travel 20 mrt stations.
i reached home closed to 7.
thank goodness i didnt get into much trouble.haha
tomorrow got to go for council meeting.
less time to do my jigsaw puzzle.
its so difficult! ahhh! haha
i like today. very fun. maybe should do it more often.
but not like east coast. its sooo far away from my home!!!
im a happy sam chan.
until i think of something. then im a half happy sam chan.
but the happy will still remain there for some time. haha
happy sc

ok my exams are over and this blog post is a day late.
my exams ended yesterday at 1002hrs.
I WAS FREE!!!
and so jonny and i followed herrick to his place to borrow some clothes
while russ bazhang and jason went to play pool first. haha
then we played pool. for about 2 hours? i dunno.
but halfway through herrick and jonny left.
bazhang, russ, jason and i made our way to macs next door,
beauty world centre i think.
im not sure about bazhang, but russ jason and i all ate mcspicy.
haha
and i upsized my meal.
GOSH I UPSIZED SOME EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY MEAL
o well looks like im about to get fatter. haha
managed to get a lift home from my mom. i went home and felt super slack!
and so i decided to lie down on the couch and watch tv.
i went to watch The Lord of the Rings Return of the King
but only from the lighting of the beacon part to the end.
ooo i fast forwarded some scenes that i didnt like. but it was very few i guess.
omg i wanted to watch master and commander, but i couldnt find the dvd. still cant. darn.
i watched the 3rd disc of The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers on friday i think
or some other day last week. haha o dear. yeah i dont have the dvd for that, only the vcd. o well sad.
today was a productive day! haha
woke up and washed the clothes. which means dumping them in and setting the washing machine haha
while waiting for it to be done, i read all i wanted to read in the newspaper,
then hung the clothes and proceeded upstairs! yay
i could finally listen to desiree lai again haha
987fm, 10am to 1pm every weekday.
i listened to her during the june hols almost whenever i could. at least when i started to in the first week.
haha i like her programme, the lunch buddy thing and the odd one out game...
ooo theres the i like it live part too. plus the songs she plays are usually nice songs (:
did i mention i think she has a sexy voice?
haha
o and i decided to watch The Last Samurai, from beginning to end.
haha its quite a nice show.
i remember watching it in the cinemas when it came out. saturday 14th feb 04.
it was after a bb parade. that i can remember. it was my family and lenard's family.
that i can remember too. i can remember something else but i shall not mention it now because its not nice haha
its kind of private between 2 people. and im not one of them
ooo i remember crying at the last part when katsumoto died.
yeah im admitting i cried.
im running out of nice shows to watch!!
and i always try to watch tv when i eat lunch. bad habit.
o well tmr i dont think i'll be at home for lunch.
hopefully at least. hope nothing drastic suddenly happens.
so i dont have to think what i can watch again tmr. haha
but it also means i have much less time to do my jigsaw puzzle!
o wait i didnt mention it earlier. haha
like what i did in the first 2 weeks of the june holidays, im listening to radio from 10-1
and what i did in the 2nd week of the june holidays, im doing a jigsaw puzzle.
that was a 1000 piece (in actual fact, it was 999 pieces) puzzle.
plus i did some homework. haha
now i dont have any homework to do!
and i decided to do another jigsaw puzzle!
according to the box, its 1500 pieces.
o gosh i died!
i'll stick to this idiosyncracy of mine to do jigsaw puzzles with natural light only.
which means i dont ever do it with the light of the room being switched on.
haha
i had to turn all the pieces the right way up so i could see what it shows instead of the cardboard backing...
my gosh that took me about an hour to do! it was insane!!
and then at the same time i would try to take out the border pieces...
i missed a few. or rather a substantial amount.
because i just could not form any part of the border.
ok after a while i got the top row. 45 pieces. then i slowly worked to get the bottom border,
which i eventually did in the afternoon i think. and i did the left side already
i did a little bit of the top right hand corner but the right border is not done!!!
BECAUSE I JUST CANNOT FIND THE FEW MISSING BORDER PIECES AMONGST THE MASS OF A FEW HUNDRED, POSSIBLY OVER A THOUSAND, PIECES!!
o man...
i initially had great hopes that i'd finish before school reopens next tuesday for me...
i managed to do the 999 piece puzzle in 7 days during the june hols,
or actually 6 because friday then was spent going out.
o man maybe what russell said was correct, that i'll finish next year.
haha i certainly hope not.
i ran today. yay! i died.
i started off with a pace too fast for me to last over 3km
which was the planned distance.
o gosh i had to slow down and only managed to go to 2km.
then i took a rest before slow running another km and went home.
so i did 3km but not at once. im sad.
im fat. im unfit. i need to become fit.
