Today's a lucky and unlucky day for me.
It's unlucky as I woke up LATE. Usually my alarm will sound first but I won't wake up after that. I continue sleeping till my mum wakes up and comes to wake me up.(so as to get the extra 10 mins of sleep) But today my mum overslept so I woke up late as well. As a result, I missed the bus I usually take.(I must reach band room by 7 to fall in for flag raising or I'll get punished)
You might be wondering, where is the GOOD NEWS? Well, the good news is it was raining this morning and FLAG RAISING WAS CANCELED. When I chionged into band room and grabbed my instru, ramaged through my bag for my mouthpiece, rinsed my mouth, chionged to the door, ppl started coming in the band room and I remembered Brandon(or is it someone else?) telling me 'Flag raising canceled, nice timing anyway~' LOL! but from tmr onwards I must wake up by myself, can't oversleep and expect it'll rain again...
Now back to my title(對不起，我錯怪你了！), the '你' here actually refers to extreme make-over.(an imba band song) The first time I heard it was during last weekend, when I was reading Harry Potter(random). My first impression of this song was 'wth, keep going loud and soft, damn irritating and so noisy' Yesterday I listened to it again(after being whacked by Qi Fan for saying extreme make-over sucks) and tried to appreciate the music. Only then did I realise the brilliance of this song. The impossible-to-do running notes, the blast-your-ear-off and soft-till-you-think-your-speaker-spoiled dynamics, and the as-if-there-is-super-glue-between-each-section togetherness.
I really have one line to say after listening: 對不起，我真的錯怪你了！
p.s decided to use different colours to highlight this time so that my blog doesn't look so red(like previous posts in band blog) Sorry for the weird colour chosen, there's a reason why I am not in AEP...

Sorry again for not being posting regularly. There are things I can post definitely, but I have no time(too lazy) to post.
Nvm, what's past is past, I shall just post about today~
Sabbatical, oh I mean IDS(Inter-disciplinary studies<~even the name sounds so boring, haiz) was quite boring cos it's just like normal lessons, but at least we get to sit in LT4 the whole day to listen to lectures...
As you know since it's so boring I shall not elaborate too much on it in case you fall asleep...
Went to OBR after lunch. Very nice indeed, I had lots of fun with my horn(lol sounds so wrong). Held long notes and tried tonguing every notes, making sure they're clear. Didn't really practise songs cos I actually finished all of them already, just need to get my stamina back. Towards the end I was trying to play mononoke solos, managed to pitch but failed to maintain a good sound XD. haha I look forward to tmr's sectionals. When I heard 'we're supposed to PERFECT all the songs by tmr', I felt this excitement that I haven't been feeling since before SYF. Because I know I must stretch my stamina to the limit so as to improve. Don't think I'm crazy ok, at least being asked to do something almost impossible to achieve is better than being asked to 'finish notes and rhythm for your national anthem and school song'(-_-)
btw, I want to comment on YC's 'pronunciation'. This guy, if you still dunno him, has been corrected by me his pronunciation for FOUR TIMES. Most of you should also know that my pronunciation isn't very good either, then you know how 'good' he is. Nevertheless, I shall just share the fun with everyone(YC don't mind this, just for fun)
YC=YC's funny pronunciation
Imba pronunciation 1: 'Island'
YC: Iceland(this is classic XD)
Imba pronunciation 2: 'Titanium'
YC: T'ee'tanium
Imba pronunciation 3: 'Diana'
YC: D'ee'ana
Imba pronunciation 4: 'RhinoBot'(<~MH)
YC: R'ee'noBot
Looks like you have problem with all the 'I's...
Then today when I was telling KS about YC's pronunciation, I was corrected by him too!(<~retribution). I pronounced pronunciation as 'pronunciation' then he told me it's pro'nun'ciation. LOL, moral of the story: don't anyhow correct ppl's pro'nun'ciation...
p.s Next time if I pronounce anything wrongly, please correct me too cos if you correct me once it'll be corrected forever, if you don't I will keep repeating the mistake~(I really mean it)

Just FYI, the title was a parody to the english test question, 'The Recipe to My Satisfactory Life.'
An assualt to your senses just by looking at it? Well, you should really feel lucky you will never have to SMELL it...
The Recipe:
Ingridients:
HCI PE attire
Basketball
French Horn
Procedures(done in a narrative way):
My PE was probably the stinkiest thing I have ever 'created'(lol it somehow sounds funny) in my life(ok la maybe except my diapers when I was a baby) Anyway, this poor set of PE attire has gone through torturous activities today. Firstly, basketball. Basketball was probably the only sport during PE lesson that makes me soak my PE attire with sweat.(cos I don't play soccer) Basketball was seriously fun and enjoyable and my sweat was dripping from my shirt as I walked back to class.
You think it's already bad enough after PE? WAIT, there's more. There was OUTDOOR DRILLS in the afternoon.(OMG) So I had to take out the set of PE attire and wear it again and after one whole afternoon of sweating, there you have the nice smelly PE attire.
Haiz, I am kind of afraid of being smelly because other people might be affected because of me. But luckily, I seem to smell OK. Even after PE lesson(like today's), my friends can't smell anything as long as they keep a distance of 20cm from me(which is the case all the time) However today was a different case. My PE shirt smelt of an extremely disgusting acrid smell because I wore it twice.
I was really afraid my friends would say this as they walk pass me:
"Blimey, you emit an acrid smell of sweat!"
Hmm... this one sounds too refined, how about this?
"What the FU*K, you smell like some sh!t like that sia!"
This is much more realistic. XD
Fortunately again(Why am I so lucky today), nothing of that sort happened, so I myself am the only victim who have to put up with my smelly PE attire...
NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SMELLY PE ATTIRE?
Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Quite a lot of things to do today... History extra lesson, LEP, medical checkup, finished.History revision, math hw, science hw, LEP hw, to go.Too many things happened today, so i'll just be commenting on some.First, MODI. I always thought there has to be a reason why the whole class despises you, why so many teachers dislike you and complain to cikgu te about you, why you are struggling to get a msg of 4 and below while other strive for 1.xx, why no one fights with no one in class but everyone fights with you. After being you LEP group mate, I finally know what the reason is. I don't care whether you change, it has nothing to do with me, but for the sake of the group members and for the whole class, STOP THIS NONSENSE AND BUCK UP.Well, the above para wasn't me being emo, cos as you all should have know by now I don't post emo posts(or just occasionally). I shall move on. Medical checkup today was seriously a waste of time+money. What those nurses and doctor was simply taking my height(YES! I did grow taller and the school measuring machine is screwed.) and weight, LOOKING FOR my tetanus vaccination record on my health booklet, and putting the tick on the 'fit' option. Yes and this costs me $30+ and wasted one hour. Please tell me which of the above is something I cannot accomplish by myself? NONE! Oh, except the stamp and the signature, yes so i'm actually spending the money for $30+ for the stamp and signature. Haiz that's the tradition of Singapore. I have to spend time and money to get a MC, knowing it will do me nothing good but getting a 'absent with reason' on my attendance list.lol this post is more like a complaint letter, sorry but i'm not in a very good mood today XD. Shall stop here before it gets too naggy.(Is it already?)p.s Thanks a lot Jeremy for the chocolate, I finished it as I was writing this post. It's really very nice, and I kinda get what you mean on the letter. A MILLION THANKS~ Here you go:

My crocs from the front.
The logo.
Yesterday I went to shop for things needed for OBS.
Didn't really finish buying everything on packlist, only bought clothes and shoes. Long pants are relatively easier to find than long sleeve shirts. I seriously cannot believe that so many shops don't sell long sleeved shirts. But anyway, still managed to get two long sleeve shirts. Why only two? cos my mum's principle of buying clothes is DON'T BUY TWO OF THE SAME SHIRT, so we've got to look for it one by one.
Something quite funny happened when we went to fox to buy shirt. My mum saw the wrong price cos there was a currency called 'P.R' something and it's at the bottom of the price tag, she simply took a glance at it and natually belived that was the price, which was only 16+. I was quite amazed then, how could a fox shirt be cheaper than that of a hang ten's? LOL when we went to the cashier then we got a shock, the two shirts we bought added up to $72, but it's too late so too bad XD. After that I went to see the price tag and I saw 'S$32' in the middle of the price tag. Haiz, stupid price tag, so misleading. but anyway $32 isn't that expensive, I felt quite lucky that it's only $32 and not anything more.
After buying the clothes we went to Vivo to buy 'shoes for wet activities'. LOL when I saw this on my pack list, only one type of shoes popped up in my mind: Crocs. I am one of those ppl who despised Crocs cos I found it ridiculous to wear some plastic shoes to places like shopping malls. But still, that's the only type of shoes that is waterproof and covers your toes right? Crocs might seem quite expensive for those who buy it for the first time, but I already knew although the shoes might look cheap, the price ISN'T CHEAP. When I tried those shoes, it gave me quite a special feeling that I can't really describe.(Like I am not wearing shoes?) Then when my mum asked me 'is it the right size?', I couldn't tell. Luckily the clerk told me the size fit my feet quite well(I dunno how he knew). After buying crocs shoes, I think I became more acceptant towards them cos they're not that bad afterall. So light and so comfortable...(and so ugly)
I feel it's a bit of waste to spend money on all this, such buying extremely thin long sleeved shirts so that I can protect myself from sunburn and not get heat stroke so easily. Well, it's not that I don't have long sleeved shirts in taiwan, but buying thin long sleeved shirts in taiwan defeats the purpose of buying long sleeved shirts because it can't protect you from cold, so I only have thick ones...
p.s I just realised I can't hand in my OBS form on tues. Friday I went to meet my pri sch frens so didn't go for medical checkup. Saturday When we went to the polyclinic in the afternoon, it's already closed. Sunday and monday it's also closed. And I'm supposed to hand in the form on Tues @@.

Happy National Day!!!(When have I become so patriotic towards Singapore?!)
Woke up at 9+ today to watch the physics videos I'm supposed to watch and the do mind map...(Of course I've done other things like editing the HTML code for my blog and mousehunting XD)
LOL I felt so weird for being so hardworking. I should slack a bit from now on, leaving my japanese compo for the night and history revision for monday.
Anyway I will be going to buy whatever I need for OBS this afternoon(a lot of things man) so won't be free.
p.s I hope you like my new blog skin and don't find it too dull.
Saturday, August 8, 2009
Phew I just spent like the whole afternoon changing my blog skin. Didn't want a complicated one, but one as simple as possible~
Photoshots
2:18 PMFelt like taking random macro photos today so went to google about photography and found that black and white is the most suitable for noob photographers like me to take nice macro photos.
After taking numerous photos and deleting lots of them, I came out with these 6 more presentable photos. Anyway, it's my first try so it may not be very good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Presents,
Starring, Taylor Swift Album(Both CD and the CD box), Harry Potter and the Half Bloog Prince, my blanket, my CD player+Speakers, my mouthpiece, my stapler, my pencilbox, my correction tape, my thermometer, my compass set, my pen(s), my highlighter(s), random solar-powered head-nodding toy, my mouse, my keyboard and more.
Here you go:
Everything I do at leisure: reading, listening to music, or sleeping.
My favourite CD(for now) with my favourite speakers
My shiny mouthpiece
My messy study table.
The internal of my pencil box.
My computer table.
------------------------The End--------------------------
I took some colour photos as well, but I guess my photography skills and my camera simply aren't good enough to make them look nice, so I didn't post them...
Will post more photos in future to make my blog more 'colourful'(my photos are in black and white @@)
blogger fixed
11:49 AMYES I finally fixed my blogger. The toolbar at the top hasn't been displaying properly for the past few months and the toolbar for posting new posts has been screwed for a long time too, but now I fixed it~
lol thanks to JX's reply to Joesph on fb. Apparently there was something wrong with Joesph's facebook on his browser too. Then JX taught him to set proxy. The display problems of fb aren't really bothering me cos it doesn't really affect much, but the screwed blogger really makes me lazy to post new posts. After setting the proxy, I can finally see ALL the webpages displaying normally...
Wow, thanks a lot JX~

NDP+CTP
9:17 PMHad NDP celebration today...
It's quite tiring, really. woke up at 5.30 to play for the parade. Everything was the same old things as last year, except the national anthem. I played the new score for national anthem, it's like spamming triplets all the way lol...
I was really shocked to find out that we're dismissed at 12.30, cos I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET MY PRIMARY SCHOOL FRIENDS FOR LUNCH AT 12!!! Although I wasn't really very enjoying the performance and movie screening in audi cos I was trying to see if I could pon, I must say today's activity was AWESOME!!! Even I couldn't help myself from enjoying it towards the end~
After dismissal, I chionged back to clementi and was delighted to find out everyone else was just as late as me~ Went to KFC for lunch. LOL then Madeline came to join us with her 'friend'(*ahem* MALE 'friend'). It was kinda awkward and somemore I was sitting beside him. I, or rather the rest of us, decided to just leave them alone and I was like looking from the opposite direction from two of them till they left.(ouch, neck pain.) Actually it's quite unwise to bring your current classmates when meeting with old classmates cos you'll have two conversations going on at the same time. But she couldn't help it too cos she already made 'plans'(with her current classmates, I suppose) .when I asked her on thursday.. She sounded quite pissed off for not being able to come lol cos I informed her only yesterday. She kept wanting me to call Joedi to ask about today's gathering(almost delaying me from writing the 1k word essay)
After lunch we were wondering where to go. Kbox? That's our original plan but none of us sings(Well, it's not that i dun wanna sing, but i'm sure you would rather not hear me sing...) After some discussion(skipping 2000 words), we actually decided to go play basketball! Well, that sounded quite ridiculouse, we had three girls(Joedi, Jia xuan and Cherry) and two boys(Jerald and me), and one boy was leaving after lunch. So I happened to be the only boy there. fortuantely, I managed to call Xin Rong out to join us so I won't look too funny playing basketball with three girls...
LOL after that the boys play with the girls. Don't say we are bullying the girls ok, cos we actually got OWNED! I didn't play seriously cos Cherry actually whacked my nose accidentally after the game started(almost making me nosebleed) and I didn't want too much body contact with them(Yes, cos I'm 'really' not SR) But seriously I got owned by them cos I couldn't score due to some... technical issues? and FYI Xin Rong was not very tall so it's not easy for him to score either. After a while the girls pitied us and Jia Xuan joined us.
Haiz quite embarrasing mentioning this but I will just continue. Now my team has 3 ppl vs the other two girls, I must be really shameless to continue playing, but I did. The second round I did stop them from scoring, but passed the ball around instead of scoring. Jia Xuan is from netball so she's considered quite good in teamwork and all that so we still won in the end, but nothing to be proud of lol... Conclusion: Don't play basketball with girls; you feel too guilty to win, and too shameful to lose.
After 3 Jia Xuan and Joedi left, while cherry xin rong and I stayed to play. There were only 3 ppl so we just slacked around, and playing 'bullet'. Towards the end I was damn tired, but managed to complete it. Not bad, my 3 pointer after I finished one round of bullet got in XD
When I reached home I was damn tired, fell asleep after shower lol... and that's why my post is so disorganised cos I was still in the sleeping mood...
It's been long since I last spent my whole afternoon with my friends and had fun instead of mugging, so shuang~

Post.
7:34 PMI'm really sorry that I haven't been posting regularly. I really have a lot of things to comment and share but I really have no time...
Today, I'm not really writing anything, just posting an post from my chinese teacher's blog:
伯恩的作文
今天讲完课文，同学很快速地做完成语练习，
虽然离下课的时间只剩几分钟，
但还是很想与大家分享伯恩的作文。
让伯恩朗读自己写的作文是再好不过了。
班上同学从一开始听，
就已发出怪声，那种嘻嘻笑的声音，
不时从四周传出，让人也忍不住想笑。
读到了“地理老师问的问题”，
那是文章的最高潮，
连我也控制不住猛然大笑起来，
笑得眼泪都飚出来了。
这已是我的第二回笑了，
第一回笑的时候是在改作文的那时候，
也是边改边笑，笑到不能自己，
因为我知道取绰号嘲笑别人是你们班上的次文化，
从文章的脉络看来，隐约可以知道主人公是谁。
很欣赏伯恩的文采并茂和敏捷思路，
在他的笔下，往往能将身边所发生的事情发挥的淋漓尽致，
正如之前的一篇有关“手指甲断的事”，
其实在记叙我在班上发生的糗趣事。
也是让我笑到飚出眼泪。
这一次站在俊荣被嘲笑的角度，
刻画出他那软弱的个性与无奈，以及同学对他耻辱。
虽然没有那么夸张，
但通过伯恩的描写，完全能让读者身历其境。
我在教作文时，也一直强调内容要有真实情感，
才能感动人，才能引起共鸣。
我想伯恩以后如果当医生，
也可以将医院的大小事写成书，
就像是台湾作家侯汶咏写的一系列医院的事，
也是非常的风趣好笑。
若不当医生的话，
也可以去当个记者或主播之类的工作，
保证你会红。：）
这次以“流泪”为主题的作文，
有些同学写的仍然是老掉牙的故事，
不是爸爸、妈妈去世、就是姑姑叔叔逝世，
连家里的小猫小狗去世也能让你流泪。
不是不能写这样的题材，而是你没经历过的事，
写出来就会让看的人觉得有点虚假。
但是，若真的亲身经历过生死离别的话，
也会让人读了想掉泪的。
这就是我所说的“真实情感”的表露。
记叙文就要有这种“叙事抒情”的功能。
就如你们现在正读的“近乡情更切”的课文一样，
从作者“毫无眷恋地要飞回自己的家乡”，
到朋友羡慕他归国的话“拨动了他的心弦”，
到“乘上飞往祖国的班机”的心情，
到怀念新加坡的美食和名胜，
到最后的“仿佛看到久别的家人在举目眺望”，
作者将他对国家和家的情感一步一步地推向高潮。
这就是这篇文章主要表达的“情感”。
同学在写记叙文时，千万要记得，
除了陈叙一件事外，
还是必须穿插一些心情或感情的描写，
这样，文章才会生动、感人。
Extracted from: www.cartyte621.blogspot.com
Well, after reading her blog, I can only say my posts are really not lengthy at all when compared to hers...
Of course the purpose of me posting the extract is not to show off how she praised me, but because I feel her post actually makes sense(WOW! UNBELIEVABLE!) I realise when writing a chinese compo, it's the best the write about your true experiences instead of making up one. Whenever I wrote about my own experiences, I can almost gaurantee an A1.(provided I don't go out of point like last time). If I make up my own story, it depends on my luck...
And please hor, although the first compo which I wrote about her breaking her fingernails was to niao her, I actually thought naively that this compo might stop ppl from calling nicknames. Now I think of it, it's kinda ridiculous. Just like what cikgu te said, calling nicknames is our class' subculture, you're not a part of 2o1 if you don't have a nickname! Don't worry GX, you'll have yours VERY SOON!!!(like tmr?)
Also, I want to highlight this para:
'我想伯恩以后如果当医生，
也可以将医院的大小事写成书，
就像是台湾作家侯汶咏写的一系列医院的事，
也是非常的风趣好笑。
若不当医生的话，
也可以去当个记者或主播之类的工作，
保证你会红。：）'
lol, 侯文詠 is indeed one of my favourite writers, I guess I adopt much of the humourous way of writing compo from him XD. And i like the last line '保证你会红。：）' somehow sounds very funny to me...
p.s I know this post is not really a post, will post my own stuff very soon, when I am free~
