POP loh!
Lol, I know it's so so so so so late to say "POP loh". But it seems like they are words that all who've gone through BMT must say, since they appear at every blogs and Facebook of those who've just POP-ed, I should say it too.
BMT: 070109 - 100309
Next date that I'm looking forward to will be my ORD which is on 061110! It seems long but don't we always say time flies? So my ORD will be soon=) (Oh, I'm being optimistic...)
Remember that I mentioned I'd always wanted myself to fall sick ever since my BMT started? Well, I managed to fall sick (fever + headache + cough + running nose), but it occured only after my POP, or during my block leave. So yea, instead of enjoying myself during the first few days of my block leave, I rest at home instead. What a waste. By the way, the block leave that we had was compulsory for us to take. Since everyone is entitled 14 days of leave per year, after the 9 compulsory block leave, we have only 5 days of leave left for the rest of the year. What the... It's only March and there's 9 more months and 5 days of leave is all we have.
Okay, I didn't forget what I just said previously - time flies.
You know what, I was actually very worried when I was checking for my ePosting to find out which vocation I'm assigned to. I strongly do not want to get myself trained in vocations that are infamous for their level of 'siong-ness'. Luckily, I'm posted to HQ ARMOUR. It's not a slack vocation though but it's definitely better than Guards. Moreoever, Tianwei aka Xiao Bai, my bunkmate, is posted to the same vocation as me. Hope we are grouped together and can operate the together. Tomorrow is the day to report to my new unit, hope I can find my way there successfully.
Just being random, I hate Polaramine (Polarax), a drug used to stop running nose but it causes the side-effect of headache! I hate headache! For your information, the 2 most uncomfortable illnesses to me are toothache and headache. To stop the headache, I consumed a tablet of Panadol and I feel much better now.
Besides this naturally-occuring headache, another issue that makes me headache is the order of courses of university. I had a hard time deciding whether FASS or FoS should come before the other. Finally, after putting my interest and future prospects into consideration, I decided that FoS should come before FASS. Hmmm..Hope I can be granted my first or second choice. Sigh, if only I'm smart enough... I just realised that I always tend to attain the second best grade in all my examninations, in PSLE (all A, (there's A* in PSLE!)), O (mostly A2) and A level (mostly B).
v_v"
Oh ya, my neighbour gave me a box of New Moon Chicken Essence just now! She said it's a form of encouragement for whatever I am going through. How nice of her! :D
Alright, I need to go shave now.
I'm so lazy to shave!
Need to wake up early tomorrow in order to reach my unit at 0800.
o_O"
Till then.

烦闷瞬间之作
闷烦
骚恼
Life
生命 色彩 何在
烦闷瞬间之作
枷锁
自己为自己添加
生命不能再无聊
全因为你
使我生命色彩全无
残忍
你从何开始
就对我惩罚
水波的荡漾
从未停过
心中的伤痛
亦未停止
你是否能感受
我心在嘶喊的震荡
难道你
没半点丝毫的怜楚
管不着我心灵的痛否？
坚强的外表
洒脱的外在
全皆装作无事之酝酿
你没感受出来么？
我们之间已建立的关系
就如此轻易忘却吗？
简单的问候
灿烂的微笑
诚恳的关心
今日都是奢求
人生的悲哀
我, 无能为力

水瓶座
highly true (",)
水瓶座
几乎每个水瓶座的心底都有着一段刻骨铭心人间记忆，一个永远无法忘记的背影。
那也许只是极其短暂的两情相悦，只是一种单恋，或只是一种只存在于虚幻空间。
一切看起来是那么平静，那么和谐。
没有惊天动地，没有海誓山盟，没有花前月下，没有浪漫，没有誓言，没有温度。水瓶座的理智和冷漠，注定了任何感情永无燃点。
水瓶座不容易喜欢上一个人。有人说水瓶座对伴侣的要求太高，其实并非这样，水瓶座注重的是感觉。只是那么轻描淡写的一眼，那个人已经吸引了水瓶的所有注意力，从此目光便无法转移。
用一秒钟爱上一个人，然后再付出一生去忘记，水瓶座就是这样的试验品。
但几乎所有的水瓶都会否认在自己的身上发生一见钟情，因为一向自视清高，承认爱上一个人这钟事似乎是在侮辱自己的智商。
更多的时候是因为，连自己都没发现已经爱上。水瓶座很多时候对于感情反应非常迟钝，迟钝到每次都是最后的知情者。有时容易出现弄不清自己的感觉，不清楚自己想做什么，觉得迷惘。
在对方没有非常明确地表示感情时会退怯，觉得爱情是两厢情愿，不想勉强对方。
显得很被动，忽冷忽热，犹豫不决，极其矛盾。在没有完全确定前，决不轻易付出感情，因为怕失去。也许是缺乏安全感，也许是对自己的保护，也可以算作是一种自私。
一般水瓶座的好朋友都是经过很长世间的考察的，不仅仅是几年，而是十几年。一旦被水瓶座当作好朋友的，会赴汤蹈火掏心掏肺。
在公车上，街边，商场，水瓶老是认错人。在茫茫人海中，始终在寻找一个熟悉的身影，直到产生幻觉。
这一刻，水瓶座突然很想痛哭流涕，因为突然发现自己几近疯狂的爱上一个人，失去了理智，失去了自我。这种突如其来的感觉，很恐惧，很无助。
水瓶座不喜欢这种感觉，因为不知该如何面对。要让水瓶座主动去追逐，是件异常困难的事，在水瓶座的世界里无法承受拒绝，就是这么脆弱，无论表面上看来是多么的坚强。
水瓶座在人前总是一幅无忧无虑没心没肝的样子，不想别人看见自己的悲伤，那样会有不安全的感觉，总是在无人的地方暗自落泪。
算了，还是放在心里吧。既不用尴尬的表白然后遭到拒绝，又不会相爱容易相处难的惨烈分手。这样很好，没人看出来，不至于太没面子。可以继续貌似潇洒。
但是，不同了。尽管水瓶座装着多么不在乎，看都不看一眼。可是对方说的每句话都从耳朵进去，没见出来。对方提的任何过分的要求，水瓶座统统照单全收精心尽力，决对不会有半个不字。完全成为一个爱情的奴隶，脸上还装酷无表情，整个死要面子活受罪。
这 种情况下，如果对方使点阴谋诡计，刻意疏远避而不见或是视而不见，电话不接或是哼哈敷衍等等，水瓶会给整疯了，开始会想是什么自己地方做错了，说错话了， 然后拉下面子主动讨好试探。不用多，碰壁两次，水瓶座就会有自知之明了，不会再去想是为什么会这样，也不想知道了。心里会想，原来是对方讨厌自己，不想见 到自己。明白之后，就是绝对的安静了。
这还没完，过了一段日子。对方如果突然又改变态度，水瓶座竟然能既往不咎问也不问，殷勤依旧，完全没有尊严可谈。只要能和对方开心的在一起，过去不重要，未来也不重要，面子不重要，金钱不重要，时间不重要，自己也不重要。
天平失衡，感情重重的压在心底，自己却飘在了半空。太在乎对方，迷失了自我，幸福也变得虚无。
自己都不爱，谁还会珍惜。
水瓶座一旦付出，便是彻底，不可收回。
感情投入的越多越是伤的重。
最擅长的是难为自己。不想对方难过，只好让自己难过。总是认为自己有超乎寻常的承受力，把自己想得太坚强，而把别人想得太脆弱。不知道，受伤的其实是自己，只是不知道如何表现出来。
爱，这个字对水瓶座来说，太沉重珍贵了，无法用语言诠释。一旦说出口，犹如远古的文物，被发掘出土暴露于空气中，变得面目全非，失去本来的价值。
所以，不轻易说。
只需一次，水瓶座便把一生的精力耗尽，只因执著，便落得伤痕累累。那段感情如强酸腐蚀着那颗麻木的心，穿了一个洞，再也无法弥补。时间是世界上最有力的矬子，把空洞的毛边渐渐抚平，不再搁人。每当寒风吹过，犹闻隐约凄凉的萧萧声，似挽歌。
只需一次，水瓶座便不再幻想，于是狠狠将自己摔碎，拒绝熔化拼凑。因为怕熔了记忆，怕熔了那个远远的背影，怕熔了自己千年的期盼。
之后，水瓶座依然谈笑风生，依然开朗豁达，继续着一段接一段的新感情，重复着一切，因为无法承受寂寞。
人们都说水瓶花心，见一个爱一个，水瓶座会哈哈一笑，说“哪有？冤啊！”。其实心里在滴着血，脸上却得笑的灿烂，安慰自己“我是谁啊！哪会那么弱呢！”
有人说水瓶座太冷酷太自私，自以为了不起。可是谁又了解，水瓶座的心，容量很小，只能有一个，且不具修改性。除了那个人，其他所有自动归为一种程序。
因为无法虚伪，所以甜言蜜语都吝啬给予。因为天真，所以至死之前仍在等待。因为没有勇气，所以眼睁睁放手真爱无能为力。
当看到一个瓶子在疯狂地快乐或悲伤时，请千万不要被迷惑，水瓶总是不由自主地交错操纵着快乐与悲伤。其实并不像看到的那么快乐，同样的，也不像看到的那么悲伤。只是悲伤时，喜欢带上快乐的面具，而当水瓶快乐时，悲伤又不肯轻易放过。
只有真正懂得水瓶座的人，才能看见眼底那一缕似有似无的哀伤，才能明白是什么让水瓶如此的义无反顾，是什么让水瓶变得如此忽冷忽热捉摸不定，才能体会水瓶的坚强只是竭力掩饰的脆弱。
星相上说，水瓶座往往不被所爱的人珍惜。我想，是为什么呢？也许答案就在心中，只是水瓶座的本性不愿承认而已。
水瓶座除了需要一个深爱自己包容一切的人以外，还需要一个心理医生.

Pass IPPT!
Walked 16km route march on the rainy Tuesday. Though it was raining, it's much better than walking under the hot sun. I'd rather my uniform being drenched with rain than sweat. Moreover, it felt cooling although we were shivering during the 15min break which was held after every 4 km.
Good news! I passed my actual IPPT on Friday! Although my results don't seem to be as spectacular as you expect, I am satisfied since I'm not aiming to go into command schools. Here goes my results:
9 more days to POP. On the high note, Block Leave is coming real soon and it lasts till 230309. However, it also means that I wouldn't be able to see my section and platoon mates anymore as all of us will most probably be sent into different units and vocations; it'll be difficult to meet up. Mixed feelings.

- SBJ: 225 cm [3]
- Shuttle Run: 10.1 s [5]
- Chin-up: 7 [2] (Just 1 more and I could have gotten Silver; but it's okay)
- 2.4km run: approx 11 min 10 s [3]

field camp
Gosh, I've actually survived the 6D5N field camp without showering, getting adequate hours of sleep nor shitting!
I shall say that this field camp was a rather memorable one. Could you imagine yourself surviving in jungle for almost a week? It got really cold in the night, especially when we're wearing uniform that's completely soaked with sweat. And yes, I didn't brush my teeth for the first 3 days cuz I couldn't find my toothbrush and toothpaste that were deeply buried in my field pack. I could feel the layer of plaque that was formed on my teeth. Yucks! Of course, physical training is part and parcel of any activities in army.
Okay, I shall not condemn so much. The most important reason that pushes me on is that I know I'm not suffering alone. Despite the exhaustion, the dirt and the heat rash that developed on my back, I just carry on doing what I was supposed to do, though, I must say, I don't really see why I was even there but I treated it as another experience that I must go through.
The reason to rejoice about now is that I've fulfilled the requirements to complete BMT and I won't be asked to go for recourse. The last component is IPPT for which a diagnostic test will be conducted tomorrow! =.=" I shan't say anything - whatever will be will be.
You know what, I actually wanted myself to fall sick since the first week but I simply can't! LOL. Much as I want to skip IPPT and SOC, I can't because I've no valid reason. Falling sick is the only way for me but I couldn't. No way will I ever attempt to malinger as it's an offence. Sigh. [Diao~~~ (I know)]

powder bath week
Pretty fun week. "BANG!" Haha.
And it's field camp for the coming week. I foresee myself going to the field camp site looking green and probably coming back brown, because of the mud if it rains, which I really hope it won't. Just let tekong be free of any raindrops for this week, heaven. Anyway, I will never do big business as far as possible. Lol.
There'd be IPPT trial test the week after next. So shitty.

BMT
6 more weeks to endure through before POP. Gonna book-in later at 20 15.
I dunno about Singapore mainland but I've not seen any raindrops in Tekong since 070109. Damn it. Boiling hot. It's made even more uncomfortable for me as I'm one who perspires like nobody business. The only short moment I enjoy is after my shower. It's just refreshing.
To book-out, I must book-in. That means that I'd have to endure at least 5 days per week. And mind you, each day in Tekong is as if it has been 3 days in mainland.
Expecting more RTs for myself since I'm expected to pass IPPT, which I thought is rather difficult. Somehow, I've lost the desire to pass this test after doing it for so many years already. Lame.
Expectation sucks.
EZ-link adult fare sucks.
P.S.: Gonna have dessers at Ji De Chi, JP2 with my family before booking-in later. (Durian, I'm coming!) =p

dread to enter NS =(
First of all, though it's a bit late, Happy New Year 2009! =D
It's been quite a while since my last entry. Have been rather busy for the past month but definitely I've led an enriching and rewarding life. Not only do I work to earn, I also work to learn, which is far more essential than the former. Ultimately, it's the skills you've acquired that you can truly make use of and make it big in life. Of course, I also got the chance to meet different kinds of people and make many new friends indeed! Making new friends is the best part, I'd think. Throughout my short journey, I learnt new life lessons which gave me a new perspective towards what the reality of today's world is like. I got to know more about myself too, and have especially understood that there're areas for improvements which I would like and must improve upon to become a better person. For instance, I sort of know how to communicate better, at least. Attended my last group-up before entering NS this afternoon, and once again I learn something: Most people would decide to change their profession just because they didn't see the results yet in their current profession, but the question is how sure are they that they can succeed in their next field of choice when they haven't even persist long enough to see how far they can go in their current profession? This has enlightened me as I was really feeling down the past few days because of the obstacles I faced and I actually wasted my time wallowing in self-despair. (I may look fine and relax but I'm not.) I count myself fortunate to have the chance to learn directly from the successful leaders.
Gonna to be enlisted on 7th Jan 09 and need to report at 10.30am. I really dread to enter NS but I've got no choice, do I? I was actually really looking forward to NS life because I supposed it would be like the Student Council camps that build camaraderie with fellow mates until I heard testimonials from those serving the nation or ORD already that NS life is really boring and is a waste of time. Of course, it may be a matter of perception but the ratio of number of people telling my NS is a waste of time far outweighs those who said the opposite. Till now, I've never heard of anyone saying that NS is fun. Well, how could I have had such a projection of NS life, right? Perhaps in a few days' time when I am undergoing BMT, I would be lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, having thoughts such as: What the hell am I doing here in the middle of the night? =.-"
And I have not finshed packing my stuff yet; I just hope that I don't have to care at all! Not only have I not packed my stuff, I haven't been training physically at all! Not even jogging or whatsoever. And I've just visualised myself panting ferociously.
Personally, I have many limitations for me to break through. One of them is that I dislike people to set goals or expectations for me even though goal-setting is important to success or one will be doing things blindly. The end-result is either I achieve the goals or I haven't; it's a 50:50 kind of thing. When I did not manage to meet the expectations, not only will the goal-setters be disappointed, I myself feel disappointed as well. Not that I'll always fail but just that there's a higher probability for me not to meet the expectations - that's the problem. I'd rather no people to set goals for me so that the above-mentioned won't happen. But the reality is that I will only end up doing things blindly without a vision in mind. I do understand the importance of goal-settings, and not to change the goals whatever the circumstances might be if we want to achieve success, and yes I'll have to break this limit, somehow.
I'd want to highlight that there's a difference between business and interests. Business is something which you involve in that allows you to put money into your pocket so as to at least sustain a living; interests are things which you engage in because you enjoy doing them. To date, my interest has not changed - Dance.
Alright, this should be my last entry before somebody shaves off my hair after paying 2 bucks. Till then, ta-ta!
Please, do not give promises if you do not have the intention to fulfil them. It's heart-breaking.

One of them is that I dislike people to set goals or expectations for me even though goal-setting is important to success or one will be doing things blindly. The end-result is either I achieve the goals or I haven't; it's a 50:50 kind of thing. When I did not manage to meet the expectations, not only will the goal-setters be disappointed, I myself feel disappointed as well. Not that I'll always fail but just that there's a higher probability for me not to meet the expectations - that's the problem. I'd rather no people to set goals for me so that the above-mentioned won't happen. But the reality is that I will only end up doing things blindly without a vision in mind. I do understand the importance of goal-settings, and not to change the goals whatever the circumstances might be if we want to achieve success, and yes I'll have to break this limit, somehow.
I'd want to highlight that there's a difference between business and interests. Business is something which you involve in that allows you to put money into your pocket so as to at least sustain a living; interests are things which you engage in because you enjoy doing them. To date, my interest has not changed - Dance.
Alright, this should be my last entry before somebody shaves off my hair after paying 2 bucks. Till then, ta-ta!
Please, do not give promises if you do not have the intention to fulfil them. It's heart-breaking.

I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labour of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time.

人生
好啦，我终于为我的部落格更新了！这应该是我第一次以华文来叙述我对人生的心情吧。已经好久没有写文章了，不晓得脑袋有没有生锈，写出让人明白的东西。
最近的生活过得很充实，过得与一般人不一样。也许正是因为时间过得实在充实，时间也似乎飞得很快，转眼间，已快要到两个星期了。每天忙忙碌碌地过日子，其实也并不是件辛苦的事。至少这段时间使我对这世界大开眼界，学习到了在职场上所需要注意的事项，样样都马虎不得。从对工作的责任感，至人与人之间的相处关系，及如何做到有效的沟通，甚至到自己对人生的态度，皆让我以崭新的视角去窥探。工作或许会使人感到灰心、疲惫，但却是这样的心情才让我觉得真正活着。所以，我也还蛮享受工作所带来的疲惫，只要凡事问心无愧，我已很满足了。其实，辛苦不见得是辛苦；辛苦或许才是幸福。一些人想要辛苦，却无法达成。另一些人可以辛苦，恐惧和怯懦却征服了他们。这又是何等悲哀啊。
公司在一次每月举行一次的小组开会时，给我们播放了录影带。最让我印象深刻及倍感感动的是关于一位老妇人天生就没有双臂的人生经历。由于天生的缺陷，凡事得以双脚来代劳。一般人根本无法想象没有双臂的日子将会如何去度过，但这位老妇人没有被打倒。她的双脚可做的事可多了，不管是洗脸、拾螃蟹、煎蛋、包饺子，甚至还可以写出漂亮整齐的字，都难不到她！现场观看着录影带的人，没有一个不张大嘴巴，发出哗然的声音。老妇人如此坚强的求生意志，让我打从心底佩服她。看到了她的经历，我所面对的困难根本不值一谈。
十八年的日子快要结束了。十八年来，我不知到在别人的眼中，我是个怎样的人。小气？吝啬？无聊？或许吧。其实我是个怎样的人，连我自己也不是很清楚。有时，知道未必比不知道来得好。知道又如何？逃避也不见得是件坏事。当然，我不是在鼓励逃避现实。我们还是要有一定的智慧去决定哪些事情才是值得我们不需百分之百的了解。听起来，好像有点儿矛盾，是吧？嗯。。。我不知道。我只知道我的心似乎总有一个方针，它有能力指引我下一步该往哪里走。或许，是靠感觉吧。十八年来，也没留下什么啦，除了那些在慢慢淡化的记忆。

0705 Class Dinner
Yesterday was a tiring day! Woke up at 5.23am in preparation for my final A level paper - Bio P1. At 9.15pm, the official end of JC life was declared! Yay! Truly a relief... Phew... There's Class Dinner at Fish n Co later. Before that, I went home, of course (not as if I would wait like a moron till 6.45pm), and go online to watch videos and most importantly, catch the cantonese radio live show on the internet! I love the way how people use cantonese to communicate, it somehow could make a communication, even boring topics, seems interesting enough to keep you listen. Also, I got to learn some new cantonese words through their chatting. For those who understand cantonese who might want to listen, click: omlive. The hosts are Don Li and Colleen. FYI, Don Li is one of the actors in Ten Brothers! He acted as the No. 4. He's also a singer and the songs on this blog was sung by him. Their sessions are on every Wed and Thur, 4pm - 6pm. One of the most interesting topics they chatted was when Don talked about he defaecated in his pants in school and the embarrassing moments! LOL!!! They also have talked about how they learn swimming which was very beneficial to people like me...
So after that, I rushed to take the MRT to Dhoby Ghaut but I was, however, late. But thanks to Ragha who alighted at the NEL, I wasn't the lastest - I was the second latest. Phew~
Had seafood platter as our dinner. Though I didn't eat alot but they suffice to keep my stomach full, much better than buffet in which I will definitely lose out since my stomach can't seem to endure any more weight after 40 min or so. After our dinner, for dunno-what reason, we actually went 'hiking' at Fort Canning. Actually the walk wasn't that bad considering that it aided in the digestion and with the beautiful night scenery, as well as the seemingly eerie atmosphere and buildings that surrounded us while we were walking through the dark walkways. Some even took lesbian marriage photos outside the ROM with the security guard watching! =.= Next, we walked towards Clarke Quay and took a seat in the Häagen-Dazs where some had chocolate fondue with fruits. With only a pathetic 10 bucks left in my wallet, I had to give up the delectable fondue. Oh well...
Anyway, I think I will give up yet another thing, that is the chance to pursue undergraduate studies in top China universities with PSC China scholarship. I've checked the courses which are available already which I'm not interested in even though I don't mind studying them. The courses are Economics, Political Science, Chinese Language and Literature and Science, and Engineering. Oh please, I've vowed that I'll not be writing Chinese characters anymore unless I work in China. Study for 4 years and serve the bond for 5 years are certainly not what I want me life to be like.
Right now, I should be worrying about making $, $ and more $!

after 1 week of A level
I remember I wrote "Dream big" as the last 2 words in my GP P1. For those who are having A level this year, you should know which question I did. Thinking back, I thought I was rather hypocritical, and perhaps stereotypical. Seriously, how important really is dreams in today's context, especially when we are all living in a rat race society? I need some enlightenment. But for exam sake, I wrote as an optimistic writer about this world, convincing the examiners, as well as myself, that though the world today is becoming increasingly complicated, dreams are nonetheless important for dreams give us the much needed motivation, and that nothing great had ever been achieved without bold dreams. Hmmm...
Pure math was rather difficult while statistics was okay. I just felt glad that I've managed to solve the triangle question using cosine formula after thinking real hard, a question which was supposedly easy but many people either didn't recall cosine formula or couldn't link both binomial and Maclaurin's expansion to solving it.
Bio P2 was tough! So tough that I spent more time than given thinking what the answer should be that I didn't manage to complete the paper - I left a 2-mark suggest-type question blank. I thought that the standard was prelim standard, if not higher. And I realised that school papers were so much easier in comparison. I think the difference was school papers were easy to do but hard to score, while A level was hard to do, needless to mention if one could score easily. It really made you crack your brain that you probably prefer to run 2.4km, rather than feeling breathless in a well-ventilated air-con hall. Must really do well for P3...no choice...
Chem P3 was okay, at least is wasn't as difficult as the other papers so far. I only have myself to blame for committing stupid careless mistakes, and perhaps changed to doing question 1 in the last 20 min after I couldn't get a logical H:C ratio in question 2. Anyway, there's no point dwelling in too much since they're already OVER. It's wiser and better to prepare for future papers... jia you!
PS: 十兄弟 is a nice show! Channel 8 7pm weekdays. haha

巴黎恋人
Click the link below to listen to a LOVELY SONG!
陪在你身边 - 曹成模 (“巴黎恋人”片尾曲)
Lyrics:
《陪你在身边》的歌词哦
是否知道我始终想起你雪白笑容
让我不经意的微笑
也许我的双眼对你思念更深
因为我一直看到你的身影
爱情对我而言很陌生
也从来不曾爱过任何人
所以试着抹去占据我心的你
可不可以爱上你
我们可不可以开始相爱
满是伤痕的心也许会让你流泪
我不懂爱要怎么说
不懂该如何拥抱你
唯一能给的这份心却没有勇气守护你
你是否愿意爱我
我已经习惯的雪白笑容
它开启了我人生的早晨
我好期待你的日子里也有我
而且越来越渴望
偶尔在你的眼中看到我以外的另一个人
我就像站在悬崖的尽头般绝望
可不可以爱上你
我们可不可以开始相爱
满是伤痕的心也许会让你流泪
我不懂爱要怎么说
不懂该如何拥抱你
唯一能给的这份心却没有勇气守护你
你是否愿意爱我
我不曾相信爱情 我也不曾爱过
但是你却填满了我空虚的心
用你满心的爱

Even though you (or we) might not know what the song is about in Korean language, you could take a look at the translated Chinese lyrics.

jia you for a level =)
陪在你身边 - 曹成模 (“巴黎恋人”片尾曲)
Lyrics:
《陪你在身边》的歌词哦
是否知道我始终想起你雪白笑容
让我不经意的微笑
也许我的双眼对你思念更深
因为我一直看到你的身影
爱情对我而言很陌生
也从来不曾爱过任何人
所以试着抹去占据我心的你
可不可以爱上你
我们可不可以开始相爱
满是伤痕的心也许会让你流泪
我不懂爱要怎么说
不懂该如何拥抱你
唯一能给的这份心却没有勇气守护你
你是否愿意爱我
我已经习惯的雪白笑容
它开启了我人生的早晨
我好期待你的日子里也有我
而且越来越渴望
偶尔在你的眼中看到我以外的另一个人
我就像站在悬崖的尽头般绝望
可不可以爱上你
我们可不可以开始相爱
满是伤痕的心也许会让你流泪
我不懂爱要怎么说
不懂该如何拥抱你
唯一能给的这份心却没有勇气守护你
你是否愿意爱我
我不曾相信爱情 我也不曾爱过
但是你却填满了我空虚的心
用你满心的爱

BLOG ON TEMPORARY HIATUS
After getting to know that failing exams in JC especially are pretty common after all, I can't help but to feel comforted that I'm not those exceptionally poor ones for flunging tests and exams throughout my JC years. Of course, that doesn't mean you can slack, it just means that you have to work hard to close the gap between your acqured knowledge and the expectations of the teachers.
If asked to do a summary of my results (both tests and exams) for whole of these 2 years, it is not really a difficult task since I can only be bothered with just a few alpahabets (the grades). LOL.
The first thing I would do, or rather I have to do, is to eliminate the first alphabet from the 26 letters. Then, for the second alphabet, it takes no sweat at all for me to tell you the frequency: once. For the third letter in the sequence of the 26 letters, it is relatively easy too since I just have to add just a few more numbers from that for 'B'. I guess it's about 6 ?? For D & E (they do not stand for Diversity and Evolution, a chapter in Biology - they are the grades, for your information), they are perhaps the mode for my assessments results. Let me emphasize, it is 'perhaps'. For US (not United States nor the word 'us', I just group these 2 grades together since they seem to be rather united and are always competing with each other to be imprinted onto my test papers), this might be a bit tedious for me because I can easily lose count of the numbers when counting.
Anyway, I guess you know what I am driving at - that is, my results have LOTS OF AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
If they were to be plotted on a graph, you will see a strictly monotonic increasing curve starting from the origin. And yes, you will be able to obtain an inverse function. (sorry, a bit of Math here) And the rate of change increases with increasing x. And be sure to leave enough space for the 1st quadrant, or rather the space for plotting y-values, too.
Okay, I shall not disregard your wish, so I am going to stop crapping.
Just watched the Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony. I must say that the Olympics, on the whole, had been very successful, perhaps exceeding the expectations of many when they initially thought that China couldn't have been able to host a smooth and satisfactory Olympics. Beijing Olympics 2008 just wowed me, especially the Opening Ceremony. Both the Opening and Closing ceremonies were just marvellous, thanks to Zhang Yi-mou. London has admitted that they are feeling the pressure and commented that the high standard put up by China is indeed hard to emulate. I wonder if Singapore is feeling the pressure too for hosting the very first Youth Olympics Games in 2010. Will we wow the world then?
Below are some burning Bio questions I have. Some people to enlighten me please if you know the answers, either personally or through tagboard? Thanks in advance.

Below are some burning Bio questions I have. Some people to enlighten me please if you know the answers, either personally or through tagboard? Thanks in advance.
- Since prokaryotes have no mitochondria, how do they obtain energy? Or do they have other mechanisms which we did not learn?
- I know that Nucleic Acid Hybridisation is carried out after Gel Electrophoresis. But what's the purpose of Nucleic Acid Hybridisation? I just couldn't recall, suddenly.
- Why is it that [cAMP] is inversely proportional to [glucose]? WHY?
- What is the role and function of CAP, as discussed with regarding to lac operon?
- Is embryonic stem cells equivalent to blastocyst? Does the ovum need to be fertilised before it develops into a blastocyst? I think, for the latter, it is 'no'. But why and how that an ovum could actually develop into a blastocyst?
I guess I just need some good Bio notes.
4 more days to GP Prelim.
And guess what, Chemistry department had actually set the Chem prelim paper pitched against RJ standard. Luckily, the college has decided to reduce the difficulties to VJ/TJ/NJ standard. In any case, it would be more difficult than Mid-year. Good luck to me.
And I seriously need to improve my Math by alot.
I shall abandon my blog from this moment onwards.
Disappointed with myself with my interpersonal skills. I'm just not good at it. Maybe I could truly communicate effectively only when in touch with the soul and spirit. How intangible. I guess very few people, or even none, could ever understand.
像一股清风一样来了，又悄无声息地荡去；而那至深的情丝，竟在招手之间，幻成了“西天的云彩”。那三个“轻轻的”，不忍惊动，不愿惊动。看似安静，实则沉重。
表现出的飘逸洒脱，实际上是难忍的万千离愁。来的喜悦，走的忧伤，如那一缕清风，淡淡的盘桓在似有若无中。心潮起伏，思绪难平“波光里的艳影，在我的心头荡漾”，恍若回到了从前。
今梦虽破，而那彩虹般斑斓的碎片依旧那么绚丽多姿。梦沉淀在康河里，心也沉淀在康河里。眼前那一谭青绿的泉水，幻成了“天上虹”，而在这“榆荫下的一谭”中，那星辉的斑斓，不正是被揉碎的彩虹般的梦么？
还能如过去一样“撑一支长篙”漫溯于康河之上，“满载一船星辉，在星辉斑斓里放歌”吗？将这些都寄托给萧声，深沉舒缓的笙箫“如怨如慕，如泣如诉”。
我梦且未碎，心仍如昨，但站在这梦的胚芽潜滋暗长的康河，怎能不感慨良多“便纵有千种风情，更与何人说”。就让那份美好，永远积淀在康河，永远尘封在记忆的画册。不要去惊扰，更无需去打破。
内心的苦涩、怅惘和某种难以言说的苦衷与悲哀。
“悄悄的走”如同“悄悄的来”，纵有千般不舍，更多的却是万般无奈。
寂然凝虑，满含着无限的眷恋与期待，心里不舍但故作潇洒，“挥一挥衣袖，不带走一片云彩”，留下那情真意切的依依深情。

fear
I was relieved when I was promoted to JC2 upon receiving Promotional Exam result slip.
I did horrendously for JC2 Block Test but was fortunate that I was not demoted to JC1.
I unexpectedly improved from Block Test results in the Mid-Year Exam, partly due to the greater area for improvement since my reults for BT were damn bad.
It was certainly not easy for me to meet the expectations of the college for exams.
A tough journey for me, it is.
Just as I thought that I shall endure till the end of A level, the principal announced during morning assembly that "the college reserves the right to make you do a U-turn if you underperform for prelims".
My jaws dropped.
I've made it thus far.
Yet there's no guarantee that I can take my A level at the end of the year.
fear~

school
Time trials, time trials and time trials.
School life basically revolves around time trials after mid-year exam.
Really have to thanks such arrangement, or I won't know how the tireness and pain of my hand would feel like.
-----------------------------------
Just endured a gruelling 6 hours of tests just now.
Cool. It's been quite some time since I went through 6 hours of tests in a day.
Sort of gotten used to it. =]
Firstly, there was a 3-hour Math Mock Paper 1 from 8am - 11am.
Followed by 3-hour of CLL P2 revision test from 1pm - 4pm.
It just feels so great after knowing that I've yet again endured through the mentally-draining tests.
Physically, there shouldn't by a big problem when doing a test. It's the mental strength that is the main factor whether or not you can carry on doing the paper.
IQ is not the only factor, EQ plays a rather major role too.
For me, given that IQ is not that high, needless to talk about EQ. =/
t_t
----------------------------------
Chem tutor has announced that Chemistry Prelim Exam will be difficult.
In fact, it'll be twice as hard.
*speechless*
----------------------------------
GP in-class compre next Mon.
CLL Paper 1 Part 2 test. 5.15pm - 6.45pm. =)
CLL Paper 1 Part 1 test. 5.15pm - 6.30pm. =)
----------------------------------
Looking forward to the end of next week.
Then it will be the official end of Term 3!
Week 10 will be study break.
Supposedly, there will be 2 weeks left before the commencement of Prelim.
BUT, GP Prelim on Thursday. *pray* GP is damn important!
Then, the next day, Fri, there is 3-hour Math Mock Paper 2 right after Teachers' Day. =)
----------------------------------
Some rumours here and there recently.
Sigh...
They're rather annoying.
Since I termed it as 'rumour', so stop being rumour-mongers and spreading untrue stuffs.
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RELEASE OF S.H.E. ALBUM!

unclassifiable
Prelims is just round the corner.
Sad to day, I'm not fully prepared yet. Everything's so unlike O level.
I shall embrace the challenges that A level pose upon me.
Anyway, I suddenly realise one thing recently. I sort of know what I truly want to do - that is to dance. Yes, dance.
If not for the opportunities to dance in sec sch to perform, whether during student council camps, sec 1 orientation or teachers' day, I wouldn't know how greatly dance really interests me.
Not that I can't dance well anyway, I even think that I have the potential to become a, well, good dancer. If I had known such interest of mine earlier, like in P6, I would have joined Dance as my CCA. On the other hand, I was glad that I didn't join after knowing that all the members of Modern Dance are girls only, even though no gender restriction is imposed for the CCA. Oh well, I'm a little fickle-minded. =\
So after I realised that I like to dance, I wanted to join Dance in JC. Unfortunately, I didn't. Firstly, I couldn't find the teacher-in-charge because I didn't know what is the name of the teacher, nor how he/she looks like. Secondly, there was this innate fear of being mocked at if my movements were not as proficient as others who might have more experiences in Dance. Thirdly, the deadline to join a CCA was nearing then, and so I just went to join CCAs that I could find those teacher-in-charge, lest I ended with no CCA, and hence had nothing to write for SGC.
Why interest for dance? I pondered myself over this question. Hmmmm....perhaps I enjoy the moments on the stage where I dance. Perhaps I enjoy dancing with others and together, to bring a wonderful performance to the audience. Perhaps I like to be involved and be part of a dance specially choreographed. And perhaps, since I'm not a good conversationalist, which is why I'm so gonna screw up my interviews, I could only express myself through body movements. (I used could as I don't want to be so certain that I acknowlege it as a fact. =\)
I always admire those dancers, especially those who got the chance to dance with a star/singers, who can do what they like to do. They don't just get to earn, they are also doing what they are happy about.
If only there is a industry that involves dance ... ... ... (Ok, I think I am dreaming ...)
Reality kills dreams.

Attended LEP Farewell last Friday after National Day celebration. Received lots of encouragement by the Principal, VP and teachers. My heartfelt gratitude to them!

学会的东西很忙
学会的东西很多（里头蕴藏着双层意义）
We were served a very delicious Nasi Lemak meal after the farewell party. It was actually one of the main reasons that I attended - FOOD, which helped to settle my lunch. =D

here i am!
Alright, I shall blog so as not to disappoint those who have been visiting my site. >.<"
Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO 23RD STUDENT COUNCIL!
5th July 2008 is our 3rd anniversary since we took over the office. Had a great time! and while we were walking towards clarke quay, we saw fireworks, as if they were celebrating with us too. LOL. think too much...
Mid-year results were released just few days after my last paper which was Bio P1. The teachers marked damn fast... Was awaiting my results with trepidation, vexing over how terrible I might fare this time round. I seemed to become not as confident as before towards my studies after getting all sorts of grades for major exams, EXCEPT 'A'.
Oh man, is my 'A' ever gonna to appear???
Now I can fully understand the value of 1 mark. For 2 subjects, I'm away from the next grade by a mere 1 mark. That cost my few ranking points.
On a high note, I'm glad I've improved from Block Test. My ranking points for mid-year doubled from the Block Test, can you imagine how horrendously I'd fared for that damn Block Test. I might as well just not attempt the Block Test papers, seriously.
Am glad for Chemistry and Maths. I swear that my heart was literally racing for dunno-what when my tutor was announcing our Chem results. And a second after my result was announced, my heartbeat went back to normal. Adrenaline rush...amazing... Anyway, I was commended with sarcarsm, something which I thought I should not deserve though it's not unexpected. lolx...
By the way, 0705 top the cohort! woohoo! Indeed, besides our tutor, I felt surprised too. 'Huh?!' was my first reaction.
Time-table was revamped for Term 3. No significant difference from my previous time-table. Went home at 5pm every day, except on Tue 3.45pm. But I thought it was okay, as long as the revision programmes are useful, which I thought they were.
Life hasn't been really exciting. Well, what can I ask for in JC? Nonetheless, there had been laughters, at least.
Endure! Endure!
