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.

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!
