What an Interesting Day!

Today at school was quite a FUN day actually.

School was going quite smoothly until we had PE. But that's not to say PE was BAD or anything. In fact, quite the contrary.

Navin, JW and I decided to skip PE but still get our attendance taken. This my readers, requires cunning skill which many may not have! But still, we were caught nonetheless by the PE 'cher with muscles slapped onto his body. (You know...) I shall show you now a map:


Legend:

N: Nick (Represented by Yellow Box)
NA: Navin (Represented by Blue Box)
J: Jian Wen (Represented by Green Box)
L: Muscle Man ( Represented by Red Box)
Inverted Green 'V': Field of Vision

So fellow "ponner" Navin and I were hiding behind one of the canteen walls, waiting for the right moment to make the break. JW would go ahead first so it'll look less conspicuous. This was all done while Red Box was walking in the direction of East. Yellow and Blue Box will execute action A when Red Box walks <<<< that way. And once the rendezvous with Green Box is done, action B will be executed. Of course, this is all assumed that Red Box is continuously East without turning back!

Unfortunately, nothing went as planned. But fear not dear readers! The Three "Mustponneers" has another plan ready. On the way to the foyer, with the help of an ally, we were informed Red Box wasn't on our tails, and AHA! There came our chance. Quick as lightning, but as obvious as the pimple on your faces, we managed to get to our safe haven. The Futsal Court.

OK, even THEN, somehow, someway, muscle man still found us! We escaped to the ball court and when we heard his voice, we ran to the side of the futsal court. It's almost as if we were playing hide and seek. CHILDISH! Still, we were caught and marched back to the foyer. Well I think the worst thing was, he sort of paraded us in front of the girls who were having PE as well.

"Remember this three boys!"

WHAT?!

We were given a letter each for our parents to sign. The content itself is quite funny. Here it is:

Re: Truancy from P.E lesson (29-1-08 @ 1440 hrs)

This is to inform you that Oh Shixian Nick was intitially found hiding from me behind some canteen pillars after PE attendance check at about 1445 hrs. Subsequently, I told him to report to some PE teachers near the college gate for the lesson.

But he did not do so and was found playing with other boys at the indoor soccer court by me a short while later.

Please be informed that this is a count of misbehaviour recorded against him. Thank you

Haha! How fun!

Super Heated

Grrr!

I. Am. So. Pissed.

Just came back from somewhere and during the journey, I got into a really heated argument with my parents, mainly mum. I never felt this angry since... Since a long time ago. What we were arguing about was kind of stupid as well.

What's wrong with riding a bike to school?

EVERYTHING it seems.

I brought up this issue a few months ago and I was dismissed without a thought. Bummer. Thought I might try my luck again this year and unfortunately it seems I'll never be able to ride a bike till I'm at a FRIGGING mature age of 21.

Yep. Only at 21 year old am I allowed to have a bike. So at 21 years of age, during my birthday. I'll be clasping my hands together and looking at my parents with big eyes, going:

"NOW may I have a bike? I'm a big big boy now mummy! I think I'm mature enough, right? I am 21! Don't you think I'm big enough to ride on the pavement where it is safe now? So can I finally have a bike? I can?! Yipee! You're the best mummy!"

(Note the sentence that I have infused with obvious sarcasm.)

Aargh! I feel like tearing my hair out. (Not that I have much of it...) But still. AARGH. Can you feel my anger?! CAN YOU?! I SAID CAN YOU?!

Nick drops to the ground, kicking and screaming.

Stuff it! Puh-lease! I believe I AM old and mature enough to know NOT to ride on the stupid roads! The roads are so friggin' piled with cars, how the HECK am I going to ride on it in the first place? Home to school isn't that far at all! What are the chances a car is going to somehow abruptly turn onto the pavement, ram straight at me and my bike, just to prove to me that what my mum said is right? Yea, what ARE the chances of that happening.

NONE. ZILCH. NADA.

SO JUST LET ME RIDE A GOD DAMN FORSAKEN BIKE TO SCHOOL! AND STOP SAYING THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO ME NOW BECAUSE YOU THINK I'M NOT BEING RATIONAL. CAUSE I KNOW I AM. AND I AM NOT SHOUTING. THIS IS NOT SHOUTING. HOW CAN THIS BE SHOUTING?! YOU'RE THE ONE SHOUTING!

Sheesh... Mothers...



I think my dad's spying on me...

I Feel Sad!

I am overwhelmed!

I think it is because its a Sunday night and the fact that in a few hours, school's going to start again that I am sad. Sighs. I haven't really done anything much today. Only annotated the poems we were given to do. I didn't do my literature essay. Guess I'm just going to cough out a lie. The standard one. Oh I forgot to bring my essay.

The A levels is this year. In a few months. 281 Days, 08 hours, 59 minutes and 18 seconds according to my school's portal. We're now a few seconds closer to the A levels by the time you have read this sentence. Scary isn't it. I know I'm scared. The worst thing is, I'm not doing anything to help myself.

I can't wait for school to end. When I finally leave this JC, I'm going to push this two years of memory wayyy waaaayyyyy back to the darkest recess of my mind. So dark the darkness consumes even itself.

Can't wait for tomorrow to end. 4 periods of literature class. The torture. Luckily school ends at 12.40. The thought of skipping played through my mind but I guess I'll use it when the time comes.

Hmm, I don't know what to write about. I think I'm just going to immerse myself in music for a while...



I feel mellow

Spring Cleaning!

Chinese New Year is on its way while Spring Cleaning has arrived!

And with spring cleaning here, Mum has rolled up her sleeves and started brandishing her broom at me.

"You better clean your study room! So messy! So many books so many papers so much RUBBISH. It gives me a headache just to step into the room. CLEAN IT UP."

Urgh, it gives ME a headache to hear her say that.

So like a good son, I started cleaning up the area. First things first. My notes. Hell, I had no idea I had notes ALL over the place. In the corner of the room, underneath the desk, hidden behind it, in between files, on top of the monitor even in my dad's clothes which hangs behind the door! My my, really is a nest. A nest made of notes.

Filing filing! Managed to file up literature notes. Woo, needed TWO files to fit everything in. Even when I was done, I STILL managed to find MORE notes hidden elsewhere. Stop running away notes! I will GIT you. Took me an hour and a half to get everything sorted and filed up nicely. My fingers were so filthy and I kept sneezing. (Aha! I MUST be allergic to notes!)

Started playing maple again. People, it's not that I absolutely hate maple. (I know I said that before, but that was waaayyyy long ago.) I like my character. He looks so ... Sleepy. Mm here,'s a picture. And I like my class. ARCHERS! Like Legolas in LoTR ya know? So suave. So... Mesmerising. So cool. So wicked! So awesome! So suave!Hee haw haw! I guess I'm going to go now. Show people how cool it is to shoot arrows at mushrooms.



Twang Twang Twang

Killer Crossover

Bleah.

School was alright until lit tutorial. Teacher thinks I'm not paying attention during class. I AM! Really! I'm not dozing off in class anymore! In fact, I haven't dozed off for as many weeks as I can remember! I AM paying attention! How can she say that?! Is it my face? Do I have a face that looks like I'm really really sleepy, hence, the notion that I'm not paying attention and spacing out?

PREJUDICE!

DISCRIMINATION! Where's my lawyer?!

Then after school, I went to hunt down Helium to get the PSP games from his friend Andrew. So I could transfer it into my laptop for future use. When I was done, and like 3/4 of the way home,
I realised I left my laptop back in school...

*Looks around*
Can someone just, PUNCH me straight in the face?
No wait, change that, can someone "punch my ass?! (as my sis likes to put it.) I still need my face. I can spare the rump.

Played ball after dinner for a bit. Managed to catch a quick match with a group of guys from the Phillipines. And OMFG. One of the guys had this incredibly quick cross over move which even I couldn't keep up with! And that's saying something! It was as if he was slicing the air in front of me with the ball. Left, right, left... Slice, slice slice! Freaking hell! I was practically eating his dust. My god, I couldn't keep up... OMG OMG OMG. This is so...

I'm sad!

He just BLEW past me as if I was nothing... NOOO... I'm not insulted anyway. Just felt.

SLOW.

I usually pride myself on my quickness when playing with others. But not today. I felt, sluggish. Slow. Lumbering fool. Wading through lead.

I respect your game Mr. Flash-Feet! Fillipinos. I think I know what the difference between them and us Singaporean's game. They [foreigners] have a passion for the game. They live ball. They breathe ball. We Singaporeans? We just... Play ball. They play with finesse. We play with aggression. No skill! I wanted to get him to show me how he did it, but his friends were with him, and I had basically no guts to talk to him. SIGHS. Looks like I gave up my chance to improve.

Sighs! Literature again tomorrow... DAMN.

Here's a video of what a cross over move is. This dude you see in the video below, is one of NBA's greatest master of the cross over. He breaks ankles with his moves. Defenders are still looking for the ball when he's already left with it. He leaves them reaching out in the wrong direction. This my friends, is Allen Iverson. a.k.a AI. Standing at a mere 1.83m. (Which is considered to be below average height in the NBA)

He.Is.The.Answer.

Hey Ho

Woo it's been long since I last updated. When was that? Hmm, doesn't matter, nothing much happened anyway.

School's alright I suppose. Just a few blunders here and there. I'm beginning to be able to keep awake during class! That's a good start isn't it. This year's A levels. Better "get [my] aircraft off the runway!" as my dad likes to put it. My my, he's been using that exact same analogy since sec 3.

Let's see... Homework. It is alright? I don't know. Haven't really got off to a flying start yet, but I can feel it coming. I think I really need to lay down a timetable like what one of my teachers said. I guess just by looking at the time table, one really will follow it huh. Instead of just saying I have it all up in my head already, so what's the difference.

Today, I managed to start on my economic tutorial homework! Woo! I managed one question. Mmm well not totally. Who am I kidding... Lol. I tried. I tried. I can try harder I know. But it's progress at least! It is also good that I don't spend too much time on the computer anymore. That's pretty surprising even for me. Yea. Imagine that, Nick OH, not using the computer. Not playing anything.

Just simply amazing.

Well, I don't really know what to blabber on about so I guess I'll just leave it here. Oh yea, Jiv's flying off to Australia this February for his Uni education. That's pretty quick isn't it. Woo Jiv. Ur a smart one aren't ya? Even my friends from Raffles aren't in the Uni yet. Lol. You go get 'em mate! All the best I guess.



Wonder where I'LL end up in the future...

Home Run Cass!

Today, was an OK day.

Went out at 11 in the morning today and collected my spare specs. I get so friggin' pissed whenever I lose my specs. I have to keep squinting whenever I watch TV or use the com. It's really annoying.

Afterwards, headed over to Cass's house to get my maths done. But who'd figured that I left my maths homework at home. (FYI: I didn't do that on purpose. I know that's what you guys are probably thinking but its not.) So in the end, we ended up chilling in her room watching Naruto. Haha. Productive eh?

Got "ushered" out of the house a few hours later so we could escort her sister to the train station and then we went to the Populars@Yishun to get her sister's textbooks. Walked around a bit. (Gosh, Northpoint is so tiny...) Then headed back to the larger expanse of Causeway Point. Oh! I finally bought my sister a birthday gift. Lol. The first one I ever bought for her throughout her 16 years of existence. Definitely a memorable day! Even she got suspicious.

"You sure you buy one?"
"Yes I'm sure."
"You SURE you buy one?"
"Of course. Do you want the receipt?"
"You REALLY SURE you buy one?"
"..."

I got her a nike squirt bottle to replace the fake one she has which doesn't even "breathe" after you squirt water out of it. You know... When you have those bottles, after you squirt it, doesn't it like, let some air flow back in so there's enough pressure to squirt out more water? Well her fake one didn't do that. You had to manually unscrew it and let air in. There. I got her a present. She should be happy!

Oh! And another memorable thing which happened today was that, Cass finally came over to my place! Lol. You might think this is strange. (For all those who just know me for a year.) It's a long story and I won't bother to explain it. So she came over for the first time since 5 years! We spent around an hour and a half trying to dig out the remnants of what she could do for maths to help me with my long overdue homework. She had dinner over at my place and had just left not long ago.

Overall a nice day. Albeit a little tiring. Damn, school starts again. And I've a presentation to make. And I've to make handouts. WHY. I don't think I need handouts...



Fast foward >>>

Stuff School

Aargh

School.Is.Being.A.Big.Fat.B!t_h.

Just three days of school and all that comes flying to us are homework homework homework.

Wait, let me say that again.

Just three days of school and all that comes flying to us are homework homework homework.

Wait, let me say that again.

Just three days of school and... Blah blah blah.

School is EXACTLY like what I just did. It feels monotonous and it seems to be the same. Everyday I drag myself out of bed and walk zombie like to school. Plop myself on the hard plastic chair. Stare outside the windows with grills that looks strangely like the ones they have in detention centres to bar the prisoners from escaping. At the same time trying to be a studious sponge and soaking up what the teachers are trying to get into our heads.

It's all very exciting!

AARGH. Right now, my sister's birthday party is going on outside. I'm at Orchid Park Condominium where the party is being held. To be exact, I'm in an empty Mahjong Room trying to get my overdue history assignment done. Peesh posh. History eat my ____(insert bad word here)____osh.

DARN. It's so hard to concentrate when everyone you know is having fun outside! NO. I hate it. *grinds teeth* and I am not allowed to complain about teachers on blogs. Right? Lest I get sued or brought to court for trial.

"By order of this court, Nick Oh Shixian, you are hereby sentenced to 3 months in a Correctional Facility until you finally learn NOT to blog about teachers again."

WHO CARES?! Maybe that's a better thing and then I won't have to worry about coming up with an excuse for not going to school anymore. AARGH. Stuff it! Stuff Mr -censored- and Mrs -censored-. Go -censored- your -censored-. I've had it with all of you -censored-. *Gesticulates -censored-* ----------------- C E N S O R E D ---------------------

And damn the whole -censored- country (I didn't say and state WHICH country, so you can't sue me) for being a censor freak.


-Censored- you all!

ASSes

First day of school... Nothing much really. Bit of nostalgia when I was walking towards school. Saw all these different coloured uniforms. I was like: "Wow, and I was in their shoes last year." Incredible...

Got in school and immediately, I felt... I felt... Hmm, I don't really know how to put it. I felt, ill at ease. Yea that's it. Ill at ease for some strange reason. I felt very awkward as well. I don't know! Don't ask me!

So anyway, I thought first day of school and I was thinking the teachers should be letting us off easy! But noooo. They HAD to make us believe it WASN'T the first day of school. They HAD to get pissed at us. They even HAD to use the F__k word. My my my! They're asses! All of 'em! And the debt collectors ("Treasurers" or so they claim to be) came at us without mercy.

20 dollars for lit!
16 dollars for this!
10000000 dollars for that, this and that one too.

Aargh, and a lit presentation to be done by tomorrow. SIGH. Time to be NICK. Procrastinate! Tell the teacher you'll get it done by the next lesson! Yea that's the way! Woo woo! We're rooting for you baby! (FYI: I really didn't do anything. REALLY planning to do it only on the weekends)

Dad's still being a childish freak. NOW he wants me to pay the phone bills by myself. I mean I'm fine with forking out the money and givin' it to him so he can pay through the net for he has some e-banking thing while I don't. NOW, he wants me to do it by myself. Through some stupid S.A.M or AXS machine. AXS my foot, I'll get a katana and slice the machine.

Can't wait for the weekends to come. Wish I was still working. It was fun though a bit boring at times. But still fun!

Maybe I really should have gone to poly. I dunno, after hearing what the teachers have said. I don't really think I'm up to it. Can I really BE hardworking for once? Can I really STOP putting things off? Can I really PUT my head into the work I'm given? I doubt myself. Doubt it. Maybe I'd be better off in a polytechnic. A level seems like a huge unreachable mountain. A dark, ominous fortress in my mind's eye.

*Shivers*



Scary thoughts.
Go Go Away!

School, AGAIN?!

School, AGAIN?!


So here we are peoples. Living in the year of 2008. How does it feel? Does it taste any different? Does it LOOK any different? Does it SMELL any different?

Not really huh.

Just remember to write 2008, and not 2007 while writing the dates on your assignments.

SO, school begins next year huh. Oh wait, silly me, its THIS year. *Smacks forehead* Gosh... A year has come and gone already? That's pretty quick. Wew and gosh, gosh gosh gosh gosh, school begins TOMORROW? STUFFFF ITTTTTTTT. I refuse to believe school starts tomorrow! No! School is going to start when I want it to start. HA! Take that MOE!

Or not... Sighs.

Dad's being emotional all of a sudden, something to do with the invited guests of my sister's birthday party this Saturday. For this sorta events, usually it'll be my mother's side of the family that comes. Besides it being more fun with them around (no offense Dad, but there are more cousins nearer to OUR age) they're more willing to attend stuff like this compared to my Dad's side of the family. And so it happens, that my Dad is actually, envious, no wait, or should I say "Jealous" of the enthusiasm, the spirit that my mother's side of the family has. He wishes that HIS side of the family would be more like them. (Them meaning, my mother's side) It's all very complicated isn't it?

The problem:

He wants to invite my aunts from his side of the family to my sis's birthday party. There's nothing wrong with that, its just that my mother doesn't want my sister's birthday party to be such a big deal where we have to invite two sides of the family you see. I mean, with my Dad's family here, its a pretty huge crowd already. Did I mention we have FIVE generations going on?

The Conclusion:

Now he's being emotional about this. Sounds kinda childish eh? Grown ups puzzle me sometimes. *scratches head* Hmm... Oh well... I can't stand it but I can't do anything about it. Aargh and with school just starting tomorrow he keeps going:

"What are you doing? You don't need to pack your bag for school is it? GO! You better keep that playstation before I throw it out. Don't think I don't dare arh." (Storms out afterwards)

No.... I have to be in that THICK THICK school uniform with the colour of dung AGAIN! Why can't we just wear our OWN clothes? Maybe that'll help boost our creativity which they say we lack so much. Grr... I wish I was still working. At least that was fun. Sort of...

I wonder what my friends are up to. How they are and stuff like that. And I'm talking about my secondary school friends. I don't have to worry about my JC friends cause like. I'M GOING TO SEE THEM TOMORROW? (For a WHOLE year, 52 weeks, 365 days and millions of minutes. So not to worry.) Ooo, I've changed my mobile number so everyone should know, except the teacher and school. And that's a good thing! Now, they can't call me if I decided to skip school! Muahaha! Ingenious! Plus! I can pay for a doc's visit anytime. (Heh heh. *Flashes ATM card) Especially since my skin's been acting up again! Woo! Everything's planned now. YESS.




Where's my Wii Wii?!
It's outta stock!
Outrageous!
