The forsaken land of my past Yet I return with a vengeance to find the lost eagle
Sunday, October 22
Yes, I am back. It certainly has been quite awhile since I last wrote in an entry. What happened in one year almost seems like an extremely eventful week, now that I think about it.
It is perhaps pretty stupid if I were to recount an entire year, so I shan't. Its almost the holidays now. If only I weren't that pressured by school affairs. There's softball training, homework and my own studying to do. In the first place, why had I even joined softball? For sure a reason was peer influence since Andre Malcolm and Christian were all in the VJC softball team. In this JC1 year I've enjoyed myself more than any other year, and I've also very much neglected my work such that my promo's were nowhere close to even satisfactory, not mentioning ideal.
AND WHY DIDN'T I FUCKING INSIST ON GOING ARTS? Undoubtedly, school life, together with the outside life, would've changed vastly. I maybe should not think so much into it plainly because I had NINETEEN of fucking Chemistry which I actually had some idea of. Sometimes I really wish my Literature was H2 rather than a pathetic H1. Yeah, I mean, it's worth at H1, in contrast to Econs. The H2 and H1 syllabus for Econs is nothing like 'WOAH THAT'S FUCKING ALOT MORE YOU FUCKHEAD!'. And that about sums up my dreadful promo's.
I want, and I will try, to master the guitar, casual read in ease, play basketball, dota etc. and have so fucking much fun. Nonetheless, the prospect of impending (1 week) holidays will always be earnestly and extremely illuminating. Till the next update.
P.S. I decided to return to blogging just by talking to SJ who mentioned I should continue this shit. OH and I forgot to say a immensely important note: I NEED A GIRL GODDAMNIT! Man it'd be lovely if the holidays could bring me one. Departed 3:37 PM

Long time no blog.
I've been going to the faraway school. It's really been rather boring, and the tutorials and assignments keep stacking. Don't feel like going to school at all, can't seem to concentrate during lectures. I'll try hard to learn some new shit. In my own class, I only talk to 2 people, how sad is that for Mr Chairman.
Alright I'll go try to complete some homework and quit the slack, still have been spending some time on the phone. Time for us to get back to the old busy life. Yes that's it. Happy schooling. Departed 7:51 PM

Christmas time. Happy christmas.
I've been playing alot of pool and dota, and every day remains as boring as every day. On a christmas eve's night, I sit at home in front of the computer, feeling very sorry for my own plight. I suppose most people have their activities tonight. Unfortunately, I'm quite alone on such a festive moment. Well, the night is still young, I shall see what I can do in the following hours.
Su-Ann's in New Zealand, thus I'll have to wait for her to return on the 28th, then go catch The Chronicles of Narnia together. I'm certain that would be the best movie I'd have seen this year. King Kong, which was supposed to be rather godlike, wasn't as great as I'd expected. A silly old plot let down the awesome action and graphics. I've really been patronizing KBOX pretty often, guess it kills some time in the morning and afternoon, and is fun enough for a few people.
Till the next time then. Departed 8:23 PM

Holidays seem to be ending, how very sad. Most of my past week has been identical, which includes rotting at Kleon's. Since the last Saturday, I've gone to KBOX thrice, which is pretty good. Just love it at KBOX, tonnes of fun, with majority of songs belonging to Zhou Jie Lun and Xing Yue Tuan. On saturday went with Su-ann and her cousins, then we pooled and bowled. Yesterday and today I went with Henry and Linton. Well well we found something rather interesting to do other than the usual LAN, Basketball and Pool.
Su-ann's left for Malaysia for a short while, then will go New Zealand one day after returning. How rather sad. Oh well, time flies. I just hafta wait and find things to do for the rest of the month. It's honestly too late to get a job anymore. Thus so far, I've only worked for 2.5 hours this whole holiday. Alright that's it. Departed 8:55 PM
Monday, December 5
It is, perhaps, time for me to post another update, and fill whoever's reading in on my sad and sorry life. Almost each day I lead an identical life, one which includes nearly all of the following- Basketball, Pool and LAN. Other than these activities, it can be safely said that I'm just stoning my life away. Time's just passing without control.
I watched Saw II one day with Henry and his dad at 11.40 pm. For a first-timer, it was rather gruesome for me. Tomorrow will be Chicken Little with Su-ann and some other tuition dudes. How strange, watching a movie i'm uninterested in with a few people who I'm almost unfamiliar with. Oh well, it beats decomposing at home. Too many days have I been totally bored, doing nothing productive.
I'm actually really broke already, after all those days of food, drink, pool and lan. How is it possible that I save up during the holidays? Alright then that's it for now. Later. Departed 9:41 PM
Sunday, November 20
I've returned after a much anticipated examination period, and I should say it was pretty bearable overall. My english essay, perhaps, is the most worrying. Marriage was what I chose to write as a narrative, and the story doesn't seem to have a main focus from a certain perspective. I just hope the marker enjoys reading it. Section B wasn't exactly anything brilliant, so maybe I'd only get a 20-22. Oh well, paper 2 was much better. Social Studies' SEQ was great, and SBQ not that good. Geog was great too. Amath and Emath, without a doubt, must be a1s. Chemistry was really simple, so it's probably a1. Physics was slightly worrying, cause I'm doubtful of the authenticity of some answers. If possible, I hope for an a1 too. And I guess that's the end of everything.
It was only till the last 3 days before SS when I started the insane study schedule. I studied most of the times with Suann, and a few times, Pixiang. So that's good. Well well, we're all happy that Venice came out. Those who trusted their lives with me were safe. It's rather disconcerting to have seen the rain pour from the skies during Chemistry Paper II. As a result, the elation and high-spirits were pretty much dampened. Upon finishing the paper I went home, bathed, changed, ate then left for pool. After pool, 10 of us went to watch Exorcism of Emily Rose at 2235, and then Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire at 0135. Ended at 0410, and we went to Jason's house to sleep. I then met Suann at Bugis and went home arund 1230. Approximately 0145, I went out of the house again for pool with Henry Shamir and Kenneth. Andre and Weiloong have bought their ipod videos, coolest shit.
I haven't felt so FREE in a long time. I shall congratulate everyone who've successfully completed their middle-school education. This is the time where we play hard and focus on the other aspects. Great experience, I'm bored like hell haha.If you still have 2 more days till exams end, I'm sorry to say, that's RATHER sad. But good luck and finish it through. Oh well, enjoy the holidays everyone. Departed 10:32 AM

It might have been a pretty long time since I last wrote something here.
I am here now, not with bad news, but with the elation and relief that the crazy Wednesday is over, and now we're left with only 2 days to absolute freedom. Good luck everyone, please OWN amath tomorrow thank you. Departed 9:57 PM

No the music stopped working, shit shit. Chemistry practical was pretty good, while Physics today had a really messed up heat experiment. 11 more days, and I've not been true to my word of 8 hours a day, seems like the hours are shortening. What a bastard of myself, unbearable. I'm most probably way behind time. Go on kids! Departed 6:14 PM

Ooh having publishing trouble. Only fourteen more days to 7th November, and that's getting me terribly anxious. I've been at home mosta the times, but rather unintensive studying, which implies I waste alot of time away. Well, I suppose I should begin everyday 8-10 hours. Yeah no time to waste. Just inserted music here, yeah it'll play after the load.
Alright buhbye. Departed 12:50 PM

Catholic Junior College Open House. Nearly recognized everyone at every corner. Glancing around, it's really obvious that the school looks horrible. Well, how good can a 30-year old building get? At 1, we left the library and proceeded to Far East KFC, after which Linton and I went to Bobby's house. We worked rather hard doing SCGS Amath I and Cedar II. Never would we have expected to stay over at Bobby's. And at around 12, Linton begun talking about ghosts and spirits, till we felt pretty afraid of the night, and went to bed. That was really freaking me out.
Now now, the days are falling short, and it's pretty sad to just leave. Thinking ahead, if I'm unlucky, I'm gonna be school-less for the next couple of months. Such luck. I better begin planning for that small period next year. There're 25 days to the beginning of O'Levels, my first exam, yes yes. The past 22 months have been pleasant enough, and I've had many great days. For this I have to especially thank my classmates of four one zero (t-shirt). 36 days till the absolute freedom. I certainly will miss being in school in the near future. Okay almost into intensive mode, so I just have to regulate it. No more time to waste.
Wishing everyone the best, and you too. Departed 6:36 PM

The greatest Monday was about to unfold in history. Anxious little people rushed to school, their hearts in anticipation of their upcoming examination results, with a mysterious twinge of excitement, nervousness and unending fear. Among these people, was a pleasant boy who could no longer hide his emotions. He had perpetually high prospects for each examination or test, but the outcome usually was unexpectedly horrible in his eyes. On this day, he had similar sentiments, as he sat muddle-headedly at the table with a couple of his better-known schoolmates. 'What a majestic day..' he thought to himself. Very soon, he would be receiving each and every single paper he'd written on back.
In a matter of mere hours, the same boy sat in class, looking completely different from before. The anxiousness and worry had vanished, now, anger and frustration had set in. The horrified child cautiously counted all the subject grades. 23. No, he thought to himself. Were those hours really redundant? He had expected 13, not 23. The days that followed proved to be absolute wastes. Since, he could not foresee the next brilliant move. And that was it, the story of such a boy.
What a disappointment, he's losing his patience, and he very silently awaits. Departed 1:05 PM

I arrived at the Tseng's doorstep at 1640 on Friday, after I got the address corrected. Very soon, Lester spotted the mahjong table, and a group of us didn't move our asses for many hours. For most of the day, we played mahjong, and occasionally went for bathroom breaks and more food. I really should've ate more then. Only spent around 10 minutes on the computer and xbox, half an hour playing murderer, where I clearly remember Kwang killing me before the starting round. At around 0030, 6 of us went for the night bike expedition round 1. Initially went through many turns and a rather long distance till we were at the mainroad and then Holland V. The return journey was alot quicker in this other path. Whole thing was pretty cool. I went back to play more mahjong, altogether taught about 5-7 people how to mahjong. I proceeded to sleep at 0330 and awoke at 0730. MORE mahjong in the morning, followed by a short swim and I was last to leave at 1400, where Father drove me home and I rushed off from home after changing, managing to get to school by 1530.
Yes, then came the Speech & Graduation Day. Have I mentioned I felt absolutely dead the whole day? 4 hours of sleep didn't seem sufficient at all. The ceremony was delayed by an hour, thanks to Lee Tai Yang Guest of Honour. The entire thing was singing, speeches and walking up on stage. When it ended, I talked to my parents for a few minutes, then went for dinner at KFC in PS with Henry Weijiang.
TODAY was as boring as usual, being a sunday. Things really went as bad as usual. Breakfast was lousy, then it rained in the goddamn morning. Afternoon was hot hot hot. I'd to spend many hours completing the 29 songs of Mayday's Zhi Zu. In the morning only used 10 minutes downloading Lian Ai Zhuan Ji by Zhang Shan Wei (really sucks). I've piano tonight. Departed 5:25 PM

Times are bad. I haven't studied for more than an hour a day. I almost landed myself in a great predicament today. Yes, another great feint by Andre, Christian and I. In the car again, Andre discussed about getting the blue form and leaving school only. We nearly left school before assembly, but thankfully we didn't. If not, we'd be meeting MANY teachers and schoolmates. Then we agreed to leave during the second period. But before I could decide in class, I see Andre at my classroom door, telling J.Liew, "May I speak to Teo Yiyang please?". I was, of course, thoroughly surprised. He only said 1 word to me. "Recess." Okay then, I endured through the first 3 periods. Then at recess, I fortunately held the class key. At first, I wasn't sure what to do yet, so I locked the class and walked to canteen. Andre and Christian were already waiting. Andre had a blue form, while Christian didn't. Andre told me forget the blue form just get my goddamn bag. So I didn't think too clear and just listened to whatever shit he said. Got my bag and cell, then left. When 3 of us were out of school, it certainly felt like playing truant. Or is it? We dunno, on the bus, we were discussing about how screwed we were, and the possible outcomes. Each had our own stories. Christian was particularly afraid, even when we were eating at Burger King. Our initial plan to play LAN or pool was put off cause the 2 of them wanted to go home ASAP. Then when I reached home, Henry (Barry) called me and asked me if I wanted to go play pool. Rather lame there, then in the end he said he didn't feel like it. But I found out that everything was fine and all was safe. UNLESS Gary Sim goes to ask Nevina Ho or David Kwang if I took blue form. Home the whole afternoon was boring. I downloaded 32 songs in the afternoon. 2 new albums. Liang Jingru's Si Lu and Zhou Chuan Xiong's Xing Kong Xia De Tian Kong. Both are pretty much ownage, Yay.
I'm chatting with Justin online now, and he's asking if I wanna take blue form tomorrow go buy fishballs and chips and drinks then play pool. It seems like a crazy idea, but I might do it, who knows. Tomorrow's the long-anticipated 410 Barbeque at the Tseng's. It's gonna be a ton of fun I expect, and I'm most probably gonna stay over at Jason's place. I'm planning to come home tomorrow before going out. Have a bath and change cotton. Saturday's the lengthy boring Graduation Ceremony. I really don't think I'm gonna enjoy those 3 hours. Oh well, it's a part of my middle school life, and it's supposedly very very important to attend. Parents are gonna be so proud to see me on stage and touched to tears after reading my pretty long letter. Nah they might not even give a fuck. They aren't the WOAH type of people. Monday's RESULTS! ALL AT ONE SHOT BABY! GOOD LUCK TO MYSELF! Departed 9:13 PM

I'm a broke man. I also haven't been studying this very week. Sneezing like a mad head now. Sundays are the equivalent of Boredays, especially in the afternoon. WHAT'S THERE TO DO NOW?Where've you gone?
Alright then I'll just hope Mom takes me out this afternoon. Meanwhile, download music. Yeah that's it. Departed 10:34 AM
A busy boy trapped in this stagnant life
The rising mist in his trail
Has all but been a seventeen-year strife
Continuing this fantastic tale
Of triumph and hope and darkness Again time is hard on him Yet the lights never dwindle
