yay.
. (: whee. a highly surprising result, since i was hoping for a decent, average finish. but hey. i ain't complaining. xP
so yeah. if you hadn't known, i was away from sat, right after founders' day, till earlier today, at 01 scouts annual camp. and thank god, i survived it. and survived it well, might i add. esp the cooking part. all meals prepared were decent okay, and even one of our lunch meals was rated the highest amongst the othere patrols.
gahhh. okay. i'm very tired right now. perhaps a fuller entry soon. (:
oh. and this year's must have been one of the driest annual camp to date. hoho

idol
whoa. tt was the best grand finals yet. simly whoa. (: oh. and congrats to
Taylor Hicks for winning American Idol Season 5.
though Katharine would have made a better American Idol. hoho xP
nth much to talk abt. ohya. just so you know, we had
Power 98 School Invasion, and Jeremy Ratnam was the one who came. (: Shakira's Oral Fixation Vol. 2 (not the re-released version though) albums were given out. nabil, karliang, louis were among the lucky few to get them. hahahah. and mrs tan chiou yen like we've never seen her before. heh
okay. i'm done. let me end off with a quote, tt mrs albar told us abt just now, by a person whose name i've forgotten:
there, but for the grace of god, go i
- Wednesday, May 24, 2006
oh. and before i forget (again xP),
happy 15th nabil! (:

be the best
hello. sorry for the lack of updates. been very tired and exhausted lately, tt i've been dozing off pretty early the past few days. xP -yawns-
anyhows. not much interesting stuff has been happening in sch, except for perhaps annual camp prep. speaking of which, is in like 3 days' time. =O god. i am so not willing to cook again. after tt helluva cooking session during overnight. okay. it wasn't really tt bad, and in fact, it was quite good. just tt i find camp cooking a bit too much of a hassle.
okay. so perhaps i'm more or less done with ac prep. banners esp, are completed. just today. ah. i feel accomplished.
oh. anw, cikgu blew her top again and gave us a half an hour lecture-scolding about our attitude towards the subject. well, basically, most ppl in class didn't do their work, hence upsetting her. i wonder how my bro's batch had tt much thirst for the malay language then. hmmm.
okay. on to the most memorable moment this week:
my gpa increased from
3.11 to
3.24 (:
well, it's a commendable effort okay. but i still think i rank in the bottom 250 of the batch. ohwells. maths was moderated, so was highermalay, though cikgu clearly disapproved of the moderation. and if i'm not wrong, physics was moderated too. so yeah.
oh. and the best part - my overall comment (more or less the actual wordings):
you must not be happy with just being better, sadikin, not when you can be the best
i'm not really sure, but i seem to sense sarcasm there. my tablemates and neighbours burst into lauhgter when i told them tt. xP
hmmm. can i just say what an interesting overall comment tt is. okay, i shall.
what an interesting overall comment for the semester. hoho

mornings!
rise and shine. (: hahahah. well, i was pleasantly awokened by the loud alarm on my phone, which my sis set. tho i'm only going out at 7am to go to my vwo. anyhows. i'm already awake and i don't really feel like going back to sleep. so here i am. xP
booo. can't believe it's been 8 long seasons with the Charmed ones. ): and it just ended yesterday. well, at least officially, in america. and y'know wat? everwood is also not into its last season, and will not be returning to the cw. ): sigh.
anw, here's a pretty pic of the charmed ones in season 8.
- Sunday, May 21, 2006
the end is near... a few hours away in america, a few weeks away for me.

smile!
okay. let's lighten the mood.
hahahah. okay. spastic me, in

anyhows,
congrats yeah, bro. (:

open hearts, open house (:
whee. finally had time to post an entry. wanted to do so yest, but i just was instantly knocked out to lalaland after eating my dinner at around 1am. =O was helping out soaring pavilion till like 10.40pm, when i left with wenjie, in fear tt we would miss our buses.
so anyhow. today began with citibank-ymca youthforcauses disbursement ceremony. where well, we're supposed to be given our $1600 seed funding, which of course, didn't happen. unlike wat some ppl thought. tsk. xP instead, in the envelope was a congratulatory note. (:
met our mentor, mr alec chew, who seemed to be getting along well with mdm hanis. i tell you, mdm hanis is one rare woman. put her anywhere, and she'll still be able to strike up a conversation. hahahah. we've got a great team! (: yay.
rige openhouse was rather interesting, though my job was veryveryvery boring. like the p6ers took so long to reach my area, and some groups didn't even go there. yeah. tt's like basically it.
oooh. and i'm a temporary deputy next week! =P
- Thursday, May 18, 2006
smile!
hahahah. just realised i did a four-tag tag replies. thanks for trying to cheer me up and all that, guys.
(: really appreciated it.
hmmm. nth much to blog abt. perhaps tt i just came back half an hour ago? yes. more prefectorial stuff. and tmr there'll be annualcamp prep. speaking of which, it is like right after founder's day (saturday after last day of term 2, sem 1) till wednesday. the camp tt is highly stressful on pls and apls esp. well, am looking forward to peacetalks. xP alliances. hoho
ouh. and thankgod my gpa's not lower than 3.00, but my standing is still
low. blah.
kat-taylor showdown. (: the finale i imagined it to be, but with kat facing a different competitor. how interesting the results have been. truly.
oh. and there was mathslecture today as well. hmmm. =P

life goes on
despite the setbacks, life still has to go on, aight?
so anyhows. brief updates:
- received all commontest results back. (: & ):
- eldestsis rebonded her hair. and now she looks so much like misscho. xP straight rebonded hair is classy.
- being a human experiment subject was interesting. i lost hundreds of calories. (: hahahah
- today, i was officially 'honoured' (as mrsalbar puts it) with the role of the litclass avrep. hoho
and tt's about it. oh. and if you're asking about my last entry, i'm referring to my results, especially for maths and highermalay.
maths ct -
28/60, overall sa -
50+%
(gp of
2.0 - from 4.0, sec2 overall)
highermalay ct - 64.5/100, overall sa -
68+% (gp of
3.2 - from 3.6, sec2 overall)
and both
were my strongest subjects. not anymore. =/
disappointment and failure (repeated, might i add) is not tt easy to swallow, y'know.
-
fallen
fell so hard, real hard. now i truely know the feeling of having to deal with a failure.
indeed, when you're at the top, there's no other way but down.
and you'll never be able to feel the way it is unless you're there.
there was, yet brief, a moment of intense disappointment.
brief; i don't know why.
perhaps i've fallen far too many times tt i'm already numb to the feeling. but still.
sigh. =/

gema temasek
mornings!
gema temasek - gelanggang si awang dayang last night was just so interesting and entertaining. totally worth my 5bucks. (: tho the auditorium had a bit the nice layout.
oh. and guess who they worked with,
ekamatra! if i'm not wrong. so yeah. hahahah.
it was a very unique all-in-one kinda drama, well-executed. with dikirbarat - girls and guys, dance - traditional contemp, and other undefined thingys. like the opening act; whatever it's called. funky ragams. hahahah.
and the hiphop/breakdance perf was damn cool. very synchronised and all. tho some elements left more to be desired. tsk. dikir was very good as well. with the sorta 'balas' element. where the karuts (if i'm not wrong), basically tried to put down the other party. xP
and there was also the guest perf, deklamasi sajak by the highly expressive theatre ppl (most likely), esp the crazyyy girl. the sajaks were really impactful, i must say. and they're
highly expressive. veryvery highly. oh. rafaat hamzah was there as well. hahahah.
the skit by itself was very hilarious and entertaining, greatly. hahahah. the dialogues were erm, interesting. hoho.
in all, gema temasek was well-done, imho. tho perhaps they could've started it earlier, then end somewhere around 10pm, and no later. cos for the last half hour, most in the audience were already very yawn-y and restless, including me.
ouhkay. tt's all. till another post. (:
- Saturday, May 13, 2006
holiday
yay. so today was a holiday. er. i mean yesterday. whatever.
but yeah. it was a good day. much better than the previous,
definitely. (:
re-connected my line, got my new sim card, along with my old nokia 2100, which was given back to me. while my bro got a samsung e730 to replace his lost sonyericsson t630. which is so darn great. grrr. i'm very jealous. xP ohwells. at least i have a phone now.
and sis got a 1gig panasonic mp3player. so finally. i've got my creative muvo^2 all to myself (which i previously had to share with her). yay. (:
gah. sis and bro's stuff were kindly sponsored by my dad. and i got
nothing. poor me. =/ hahahah.
oh. but at least my mum promised a new phone next jan. whee. i'll be so looking forward to tt.
so yeah. a day, or an evening, rather, of shopping yet again. and btw, a big thankyou to
deangohdongyi for helping me build up my lost contact. (: and in case you haven't realised, i'm contactable again.
okay. nights. (and this seems to be a very weirdly structured entry yet again. sorry. xP)
- Thursday, May 11, 2006
sigh
sigh. simply,
s i g h.
okay. today must have been one of the worst day this year. yes. it
is the worst one actually. even worse than the disappointing maths cct results.
well. one thing, was getting a lecture by cikgusaripah about projectwork. then, i was kindly informed by her tt about my disappointing results; tt i didn't even manage a 70% for my highermalay ct1 paper2. and tt already drastically brought my mood down.
and just as i was about to leave school to the sanctuary of my home in the late afternoon, after a tiring, boring drink selling shift at the swimcarn, which was postponed after finals event #4, i realised tt the left pocket of my pants felt unusually empty. sure enough, one of my greatest fear came true - i lost my hp. again.
sigh.
argh. shan't go into details of how it got lost and stuff. well. it's partly due to my carelessness. i'm just hoping tt it's still in some secluded place in the library, and not taken by someone. though from the looks of it, it's a case of the latter. since the first few times when i called my hp, it was engaged, and then, it was unavailable; it was switched off.
grrr. btw, let me rewrite tt. i lost
my bro's sony ericsson t630. my nokia 2100, is with him. so yeah. and if you need to know, this is the 3rd hp i've lost. before this, i've already lost a nokia 3310, and a motorola peanut, both left in a taxi.
i tell you, my parents are so not gonna allow me to get a hp anytime soon. oh. and i've already disconnected my line for the moment, so don't bother contacting my mobile. take note yeah.
sigh. can a day get any worse? =/
- Wednesday, May 10, 2006
booo!
heylo. today was a sch holiday. so fun. if only.
woke up at noon (lazy piiig xP), to my horror, as i realised tt i was supposed to be a meeting with my 01batchmates for a funk session and batch project meeting from 8am. =O
but alas, kind benhong was very nice abt it. so yeah. anw, to the rest, so sorry for not attending, esp since i already gave my word like the night before. (:
after tt, like at 2+pm, chris called me to ask if i was in sch already for our lit project meeting of sorts, and well, i wasn't. coz it wasn't made clear tt i was supposed to meet him in the phonecall last night. so anyhow, i changed up and met him at his house, for some rather brain-draining discussion. which wasn't tt fruitful tho.
and yeah. basically now here i am, feeling the wastedness of a sch holiday. booo. =/
okay. i have to say tt this is an
extremely weirdly structured post. sorry.
-
post ct
yay. post ct was quite enjoyable and fun, i must admit. (:
yeah. it's one of those
rare days when you find school actually well, fun. hahahah.
anw. my class emerged
runners-up in the interclass waterpolo competition, despite us fielding (or pooling, in this case xP) a team at the very last minute. we actually were thinking of a walkover, but alas. yay.
as bryan aptply put it, "3j, the true underdog story" (:
oh. and well-done to all the players - leonard, ned, benjamin, justin, junchang, kenneth, and daryl.
after tt it was the disc profiling workshop. with coach kai (funky name), and three other co-coaches.
in short, it was an interesting and enlightening session. and coach kai, being an old ri boy (8 years our senior), was
very casual with us, sharing his stories. like his tactic of getting to know girls during the o-level study break by marking his place there and stuff (and how girls actually come up to ask him and his friends qns =O). abt how his friends changed during jc years, trying to be a somebody. and abt his boring internship at the subordinate courts.
oh. and he also mentioned abt the prefects (at tt time, might i emphasize) being such flirtatious beings, holding friendly telematches with rgspb, and also using the telephone in the previous pb room to call girls. tsk. xP he
was one, btw.
so yeah. i'm an S, if you wanna know. not an ASS, but an S personality, which can be summed up into one word, SUPER-NICE. no kidding. (:
hahahah.
- Monday, May 08, 2006
O.O
a day without sleep = panda eyes. booo. hahahah.
whoa. but luckily managed to survive throughout the paper. didn't even yawn once kay. (: heh
um. had better sleep
early earlier tonight. if not tmr will be a yawn marathon. -yawns-
ouhkay. oh. anw, staying up late (or even throughout the night, for tt matter), surfing the WorldWideWeb proves to be so enlightening. esp when you site-hop. hahahah. got to know quite a lot of things (tt are i didn't already know) like:
1. shayneward's no promises is a cover of bryanrice's.
[ found this out while searching for the mv on youtube ]
2. CBS and WB will merge to form The CW Television Network, with some shows from the wb making it over (gilmoregirls, smallville), some not (charmed, 7thheaven, whatilikeaboutyou), and some still being considered (everwood, onetreehill).
[ found this out while watching an alexisbledel clip on the davidletterman's show on youtube, and when i was looking up on everwood for season summaries in wikipedia ]
hahahah. yay. look at how much more knowledgeable i've become. xP
-
ct1 - day 5 (and the last! xP)
hello. yay. commontest1 is over! (: wheee.
oh. and the literature paper was do-able. so yay again. actually. it was unexpectedly wat i had hoped for. hahahah.
YAY!
but didn't really party after tt larh. just chit-chatted with dean over a small coffeebean's the ultimate. yum. and yeah. shopped a lil as well. =P
tt was basically it.
okay. time to finally relax. (: yeah!
- Sunday, May 07, 2006
hmmm
heyyy. nth much to blog abt this weekend.
anw. tmr's my last paper - literature. hoping the topics are really do-able. so tt i won't die. yay. and it's party after tt. wheee.
oh. and pap beat sda to claim my constituency, pasirrispunggol. (: ahwell. it was expected. and mtvaasiaawards was so disappointing. with the exception of hoobastank's performance. and maybe danielpowter's. tho the rendition of badday wasn't tt nice.
ouhkay. tt's all for the weekend. till another time.
- Friday, May 05, 2006
ct1 - day 4
and it's freedom for some, namely the tripscigeogers bunch. but booo. not for me though. still have got literature on monday. so yeah. no celebrations just yet.
and today? simply horrible. enough said.
(yes, if you haven't realised, pretty much everything's been horrible. go figure. =/)
sigh. sometimes i feel my efforts are always futile. especially so for mathematics, my
once strongest subject. ): did my share of practice, but still, look at wat happened today.
hoping and praying for the best. well, tt's about the only thing can be done now.
gah. let's channel all this negativity to strive for the best for literature. at least, ct1'll end on a good note.
the only possible anw. =/
- Thursday, May 04, 2006
guilty
i'm taking a break right now. from maths, tt is. and somehow, i'm feeling rather
guilty about it. xP as though it's wrong to have a break. okay. perhaps more of the idea of slacking. hoho. surprisesurprise.
ohwell. i seriously need a rest from the numbers and all.
anw, revision for maths is looking okay. so yeah. (:
-
ct1 - day 3
hello. chemistry was okay larh. rather do-able. xP as you should already know, tt simply means somewhere around a decent pass. well. hopefully. (: heh
double horror tmr - physics and maths. shucks. i so cannot afford to suffer a very humiliating fail yet again this time. 85% at the very least.
I CAN DO IT! yay. i'm so moralised. right.
better start revising and practising again, i guess. there's nth else tt can be done now, is there?
till another time.
- Wednesday, May 03, 2006
ct1 - day 2
argh. why do my same-day tests all seem so similar? my performance in them, tt is. booo. tt's just not good at all.
anw. yes. highermalay and biology were killers, especially
bi-oh. for both papers, when i started on them, i was like "whoa. not bad arh. very do-able. yay." but as i progressed on, it was a different story altogether. biology was simply a horror. the bio tests so far were average, but this one was the
bomb.
>.<
- Tuesday, May 02, 2006
ct1 - day 1
hahahah. heyyy. just got back from sch. could've been much earlier, no thanks to long queues. -.-
anw. english and socialstudies were do-able arh. tho the last qns of both were equally horrifying. xP yes. but anyhow, overall, the papers today were okay larh. well. for me, okay usually means just a decent grade, so there. hoho.
ouhkay. gotta muggg for bio and highermalay now. oh. before tt, i gotta wash my long pants. coz the bottom are filled with traces of mud, thanks to the uneven pavement right outside sch, which, as it always is on rainy days, is flooding. grrr.
till later.
-
commontest1
let the commontest begin...
yikes. and it kicks off with english language and socialstudies. xP
goodluck and allthebest to exam/test takers. (:
- Monday, May 01, 2006
1 may
i just realised tt today is the 1st of may. four whole months of 2006 have passed, and now, we're already into the fifth; it's already may. like i've mentioned before, time really flies. and somehow, i'm regretting not taking time to just stop and reflect. on everything. maybe it's the pace of life, or perhaps just my plain lazy self. but still. i'm just hoping tt i won't
regret much once the year ends. :/
anw. talking about realising stuff, i also realised today (while in the cab accompanying my eldestsis to the clinic) tt i haven't cabbed to sch in the morning for quite a number of weeks now. (:
-am proud of self-
hahahah. well. y'know. i always happen to sleep without completing my work, so when i wake up the next morning, it's rushrushrush to complete the undone work. which often results in late home-leaving, hence, forcing me to cab to sch to avoid being late. xP
yes i know. i'm sucha lazybozo who spends money like it'll never run out. there's not a need to remind me about tt. hoho.
and i'm already planning to catch a movie after the commontests. =P talk about being a
spendthrift. but hey. it's sort of a reward.
if i survive the cts, tt is. (:
-
and lightning strikes
booo. these campaign vans are so irritating. =X
blahhh.
-
mornings!
hello. mornings people of the world. as i'm typing this entry, the sda van is making its rounds. hahahah. just like pap's tt day. with a loudhailer/speaker. in the four languages. xP
how un-irritating. in the morning, no less. right.
speaking of the elections, can i just say how excited i am? well, finally the constituency i'm in is being contested. (:
( and the sda van is still making its rounds. -.-" )
and you know what? when i asked my mum tt day on who she voted for in the elections tt she took part in, she said tt she handed in a null vote. coz she was feeling kind to the opposition not to let pap win by too large a margin. hoho. interesting.
okay. time to hit the books. (:
