man. suey qiu day for me.
hurt debbie and troy (twice for troy) by accident.
hmm... tried to fake to get past debbie during the exhibition match... then she kinda hurt her ankle in the process of trying to clear the ball. so like yeah... felt quite bad so i sat out the rest of the match feeling quite apologetic.
then i thought my luck would get better the following match. but noooo.... pulled the ball to hard and lost control... so troy went to pick the ball... then she stepped on it by accident so she hurt her ankle too. then everyone said i was a walking disaster, so i sat out of that one too.
best of all. this one is my fault. entirely. i was kicking a tennis ball around with alan and jamie... then i kinda deflected the ball with my heel and it hit troy on her face. damn paiseh la. firstly, my soccer sucks. secondly, i hurt someone becuz of my sucky soccer skills. so yeah... felt so damn guilty and all that stuff. so yeah... kept apologising to the both of them.
bah. i'm a motherfucker. so leave it at that.

RIP my beloved climacool 2.
i wore them out. both the sides and the soles. man.. the gaping hole on my right shoe is so fucking huge it even made a hole in my socks. (i haf this way of shooting that totally wears out the side of the shoe). so yeah... i loved this pair of shoes. so cool. so light. so "airy". man, i wonder if i can even get a pair of shoes that can compare to this shit.
oh yeah.. got the hockey shirt too. looks decent... but it's fucking small (L size). hurhur. i haf abso-fucking-lutely no idea how to wear my shirt on open house day. will be damn malu when i just show my retarded fat deposits to potential ppl who are interested in joining the CCA. and yes, bok told us to come up with an "intelligent" pun for the open house, which we did in like 5 minutes (we had like 50 bloody puns on sticks alone) so yeah. HURHUR. and he forgot to get a damn subsidy for the shirt which has a damn sch logo on it (apparently shirts w/ a sch crest will get subsidised).
hmmm.... can't wait till then i guess... OPEN HOUSE woohoo. will be wearing my SJI shorts and the green SA open house shirt. matching stuff. woohoo.

post exam period has arrived. got an O pass for geog. feeling ambivalent, esp with the marks so close to an A lvl pass, which is unexpected but yeah... coulda gotten more.
post lit exam period has come as well. disillusioning and saddening. my fave subject being affected by all the other shitty ones tt i had to concentrate on in order to pass like maths and econs (and i didn't get good grades for them either). maybe i've lost my touch (if i ever had it in the first place). this is a new low for me... there's nothing left that i can really take pride in anymore. feeling damn lost abt it... esp after hearing tt ms d is not gonna teach us lit in J2... i've realli lost alot of the motivation tt kept me going on in literature. was so sure of dropping geog in the beginning... now the idea of dropping literature is surfacing even. hai.
no mood for the babe spotting at the VJ open house today. i'll just be drowning myself in some sarah mclachlan music. must get her new album too, more of the melancholic music to build on the depressing mood.
listening to: sarah mclachlan - fallen

hah. i've finished my exams. felt kinda fast... compared to the other exams i've had in the past... i mean like.... days just flew past. oh well...
good luck to those still taking their papers, like rebecca and the CLA ppl (esp. eng keat), the arty farty girls in my class and the hockey guys who still have physics (paul, bok, julian and others) and yeah... OF COURSE THE BABES IN SA STILL HAVING PAPERS. not forgetting everyone else i refuse to mention here bcuz they are taking up precious blog real estate (heh).
pray hard and work hard. ora et labora. leave the rest up to God. He'll make things right, i guess. :)
How 2 Write Good!1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Profanity sucks.
15. Be more or less specific.
16. Understatement is always best.
17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
18. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be avoided.
21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
23. Who needs rhetorical questions?
You are a St Joseph's Institution boy! You
don't dedicate yourself to your religion as much
as you would want to. You have a lack of
respect for others, but demand respect from
others. Very demanding, and strong minded
individual.

yo. haha... went to bk to study with teng siang. siang yuan, kaiyun and janice.
woke up late. like fucking 10am... (was meeting them at 11). then i reached there are like 12 plus cuz teng siang said he was gonna be late. TURNS OUT JANICE WAS DAMN EARLY. ok.. that made me feel damn bad. so like yeah... better still! the 2 chiobus of my class... shi hui and luana were studying there... hahah.... not bad... but too much eye candy for my weak heart haha. jk jk.
kinda felt bad la... turns out i was like disturbing them by asking siang yuan and teng siang too many questions about maths... but at least i made it up for them by buying them a drink and fries... heh.
then stupid siang yuan managed to influence us to go to janice's house to watch the soccer match bw arsenal and liverpool. not that bad a match... 'cept owen came out... sad shit. but it was nice seeing henry's few moments of good dribbling (stepovers and stuff). was supposed to study during half time... then we ended up watching a badminton match. not my kinda stuff... but i'm watching a soccer match at a badminton player's house with other badminton players... so yeah... out of place (ha.) haha man her house is HUGE... but her screen is HUGE-R (if there's a word... long live BOW). crap shit... managed to cover maths... but as the time slowly draws near, i feel the tension building up. good luck to me. heh.
once again: sorry shihui and luana for disturbing u 2. heh.
no comments about my econs test. hurhur.
got back my geography tutorial (the continual assessment). haha... I PASSED! and mdm habibah put a BIG CHOP that read "IMPROVEMENT!" haha.... 14.5/25....
budden spoiler la... she went to deduct 6 marks from it for late wrok... so i still failed. HAHAH. but yeah... i almost passed. i think. (PS: I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S AN OPEN BOOK THING)
so yeah... wooohoo... now i feel motivated to study for geog... haha

tomorrow's my econs exam. i just hope i pass it yeah.
went to sch at 10am to meet janice, teng siang and kaiyun to study econs. then janice and i went to see mr lee to get our econs essay/outlines marked... then he kinda gave us more stuff to think about. funny how he marked janice's outline but didn't even look into my essay properly. LOL. (S paper material vs. just pass material)
then we went to IMM at 11 plus to study at BK. janice, kaiyun and i discussed about another essay on market structure then moving on to do TYS after that while teng siang studied his notes. then siang yuan came down to study with us. so effectively i studied from 10:15am till 6pm? so like yeah. hahah.... then reached home to do another BOW update with the usual people after dinner. LOL.
still haf so many things to do. with so little time.
so many things to say. but so little courage to.

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY.
i celebrate the death anniversary of my childhood innocence. no thx to hong yew. hurhur. and of course to my SJI friends. MUA HAHA.
i don't know whether to be sad or happy about it. maybe the death of that innocence brought forth the devil within, but hey... if not for that devil, there won't be a BIRDS OF WISDOM site *grin* heh
can see that it's rapidly gaining popularity. woohoo. so proud of it. i'll keep it up and continue updating it. hehe with the help of those 2 friends. keep watching that space so yeah.
