Unexpected
Looking at how some things are turning out, it really is very unpredictable. I mean, we think somethings will stay constant but they don’t. We shut the door on one thing and another door opens. Both good and bad, I must say. But, I’m optimistic. (Believe it or not, I can’t remember ever using that “o word” in my blog before)
So, just pretending that nothing has...
Most. Horrible. Birthday. Ever.
Worst part is, I just wanted it to be a normal day. Is that even too much to ask?
I just posted 3 hours ago and I’m going to post again. I don’t think anyone actually understands how my feelings co-relate to my brain. I’m getting mind____ed right now and it’s driving me crazy.
I’m mental now. Seriously mental. I can’t even begin to comprehend… I’ve just been mind____ed. I’m nuts. LOL. Feels like I’m having puberty all...
OH MY GOSH
SOMEONE, PLEASE KILL ME IF I DON’T GET INTO NJC. ______ IS GOING TO SAJC. I’M ALREADY SEEING MYSELF AS A LIFE-LONG LOSER.
By the way, does exploding count as “emo”? Because, the answer is technically yes, but it doesn’t seem like the typical “emo”. Anyway…
I NEED A MIRACLE.
Sweet Escape
One and a half hours was how long it took to adjourn to Potong Pasir McDonalds from Kevin’s house. Me staying over at Kevin’s was like a New Yorker spending a few days at Minneapolis-St. Paul. I felt well-rested and was able to take my mind off everything that has happening in my life. So it only felt somewhat metaphoric when I stepped into McDonalds and “Sweet Escape” was...
2012 Official Start
It’s official. 2012 starts on 31st January for me. I’m going to spend the next 2 weeks reflecting, planing and setting targets for 2012. One of things that has been tugging my heart is a strong desire for more philia in 2012. After all, it’s the only human form of love that I’ve learnt to depend on.
Can’t wait for CNY. Can’t wait for school to start. I’m...
Remind Me
It’s so frustrating to hear people tell me, “Wah, wasted! You should have had a CCA.” It makes me want to regret ever dropping rugby because if I hadn’t, I would be appealing to RJC & confident of going to NJC/VJC at the very least…
Until I remember why I walked away from rugby in the first place. It sets in perspective. It still is frustrating because I have to...
JC Route
I’m praying that I get into RJC or NJC. The more realistic choice is NJC henceforth, placing it as my first 2 choices. Of course, the most likely result is that I’ll get into SAJC. I’m just trying my luck for the first 7 choices.
So I started a conversation with my cousin. She scolded me for putting RJC as my 3rd & 4th choice. (She’s from RJC) So, I told her I was...

It was pretty ingenious. Too bad we don’t have such creative students nowadays.
Unreal
God feels so real in this unreal situation. I still can’t believed I achieved perfect score. I’m keeping myself light-headed for this week. I need some time to enjoy it and next week, I promised myself to come back down to Earth. But just for this short period of time, I would like to be among the clouds.
SAJC’s open house was kind of lame today. I saw the 4 people I totally...

Second Look
6 points. I am thankful. I was wrong, again. But for good measure. Now, I’m not sure where I want to go.
However, when I went to compare with my primary school classmates, 6 points was the norm. Damn it. Just went I thought I finally achieved something, it becomes belittled. I think it’s just my tendency to kill my joy.
I’m contented, but still not satisfied.
2 Paths
I’ve set up 2 paths for myself.
1st Path - Be an all-arounder. Average expectation.
2nd Path - Be a sociopath. High expectation.
I’ve yet to choose one.
Scars & Wounds
The anxiety of receiving my O Level results has just hit me. It started with a few butterflies in my stomach, then an elephant in my head and finally… I can’t think of any allusions to animals regarding fear in the heart. But yes, this overwhelming sense of uncertainty has a strong grip on my heart.
I tried playing around with my rugby ball, I tried playing CHESS, I tried watching TV....
ROAR
The feeling of jealousy is embedded in so many of my thoughts. Bring those thoughts to captivity, bring them captivity.
5 Things, Football, Basketball
I haven’t really thought through about the year ahead & all the things I want to achieve, probably because I think the year officially starts after I get my O level results. That’s how I see it because it will define what kind of year I will have so it’s difficult to plan now. Thus, this post will be about 5 things in 2011 that really made an impact in my life, in increasing...

2012
AND I AM BACK IN SINGAPORE. Happy New Year everyone! Atmosphere in HOGC was electric, bordering eccentric. Brilliant.
I can’t help but take a look towards the future. The longer I linger, the more I’m convinced I’m not where I should be. 2011 was a transition year for me. It was tumultuous. I’m looking forward to 2012, and it could start off much better than losing my...
Taiwan: Day 3 - Christmas 2011
Before I continue, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. Even though it’s a bit late but yea…
I’m finally out of the mountains & in the city and I’ll make it clear, Taiwanese are nuts about shoes. They have at least 2-3 shoe shops every street! Absolutely mental. Anyway, today went out to sea to pick up clamps during low tide. The sea is actually walk-able for about 5 acres of...
Taiwan: Day 2
i find posting things here almost a daily essential. Right now, I’m sitting on this wooden chair while waiting for my phone battery to be fully charged.
Today was exciting. Started off a breakfast meal without meat! Nearly died. Then, we went boat-rowing in the morning weather at about 10 degrees. Went back to the mountains and explored the different plantations. Also, got a glimpse of a...
Taiwan
Hello everyone! I’m currently in Taiwan & the weather is freezing cold! I watched Harry Potter on the plane… I’m an official HP geek! Now on my bed in some bungalow-cum-chalet, typing this out on my phone using the WLAN here. Hopefully, it’s free like what my cousin claims.

How I feel right now; attempting to erase memories.
OFF!
10.5 hours and I’m flying off!
All over the place
First off, I heard Justin Bieber LIVE on Micheal Buble’s Christmas performance and he was actually quite good! Either that or he surpassed my rockbottom expectation. People got to quit hating on him. There’s a reason why so many artists say they see talent in him.
Secondly, I know why Mr. Slughorn from Harry Potter feels so familiar. He is the Hogwarts version of Mr. Tan Yan Ho! Both...
Smartness
I’ve come to think that being smart isn’t determined by how well we do in our examinations. In fact, I would think intellect at it’s highest manifestation is creativity.
We live in a world that is so gripped by geniuses and the most common question is, “How did they do it?” Imagine asking that aloud with utmost enthusiasm.
I believe we overrate the power to analyse...

Likes
I’ve been trying to figure out how to actually express what content this post holds for a long period of time and I conclude that listing them out will be the best. These are things that I’m positive about.
To kick it off, I think I’m infatuated with pop music and all the people who know “real music” are going to give me a thumbs down. Also, I’m still in love...

Magic
After completing the Harry Potter series, I’m starting to believe that there is magic in the mechanism of life. When I get back to reality, that belief vapourises.
I kind of admire how Harry Potter as a character was played out to be. The thought of having my 2 best friends dating each other harbours my mind. Seems like quite an interesting position to be in. I’m also quite intrigued...

Bubble World
The “magical” feeling about Christmas intrigues me. I mean, every holiday feels different. However, Christmas stands out the most. Maybe, it’s the most marketable season from a businessman’s point of view but I like to think it’s more than that. I’ve been reblogging Christmas-ish pictures, quite contrary to my stand against excessive reblogging. It’s just,...
