The Passing of an April Shower...

Man, looks lyke e weather's realli turnin' bad these few days...It's kinda lyke, e storm before e sun or somethin', 'cos it's gonna turn realli hot in May. so's lyke, April is cold as hell, while May is hot as high hell...or somethin' lyke dat, if anyone noes wad i'm tokin' abt, 'cos honestli, evn i dunno wad i'm tokin' abt...

War is a necessary evil
See, i'm in e finals of dis debate thin'y...my team(we represent Cheetah hse)managed to pull thru e first two rds wif relative ease(tho e second rd was realli tense, n a pretty close shave)so dats my motion for e finals. we're s'posed to tok abt war as necessary, despite bein' evil. evry1 seems to think dis is tough, but i find it rather ezy, since dat has been my stand for yrs alreadi...i mean, think abt it...e first computer was invented to do calculations for e atomic bomb, while e first high-powered plane engines were invented so planes could drop bombs on others. it's plain for evry1 to c dat war encourages progress. without sacrifice, dere can be no progress.

Don't call me again
Watched Cellular nt too long ago, and it definiteli gets at least 4 out of 5 stars frm mi. a suspenseful, gripping story wif more den its fair share of dramatic twists, Cellular promises, and delivers, a compellin' adventure. e music oso helps add to e atmosphere, while e masterful actin' on e part of e actors helps add e finishin' touch to an alreadi excellent movie.

i'm realli startin' to hate lit...i mean, all e tec evr toks abt is entireli bullshit, n she seems to enjoy bullshittin'...she doesn't encouage individual opinion, n expects us all to suscribe to her views...to dat i sae, to hell wif her...i jst might consider droppin' lit as a subject n takin' it as a private candidate...she's wastin' my time in class, seriousli...

[L]ike e moon
[O]n a windy nite
[V]ast n
[E]verlasting

[Y]esterday was lyke a vision
[O]f e endless fields of flowers
[U]nder e watchful eye of e sky

Vivi,
I love you

I saw a light at the end of the tunnel...And then I realized it was a train

Finally, life is startin' to look up. Come Friday, i'll be free of whatever ncc duties i may hv...i've also more or less made up my mind to quit helpin' zahara n prob'ly cindy goh with whatever work that needs to be done. cindy goh is under the mistaken belief that everyone owes her, which i find really annoyin'...n, well, i used to think zahara was a reasonable person. up until she started talkin' about how gals r alwayz better den guys...den i realized dat no matter what the guys in my class try to do to make it up to her, she'll alwayz believe the gals over the guys. n it's so not fair, considerin' the five ppl who hand up their work on time, all the time consistently are guys, and the five ppl who hand up their work late, sloppily done and inconsistently are gals...and gals provide the most trouble when it comes to collectin' homework, as far as my class is concerned.

i dun suscribe to sexist views, n am extremely annoyed with zahara for generalisin' like that...sure, SOME guys are annoyin', and SOME gals are very well behaved...but she acts like all guys are trouble and all gals are angels. that is so wrong. so, if all goes well, come friday, i'll quit bein' the rep for accouts, history n social studies. that leaves me with english and chinese, which i can handle. those two teachers put minimal stress on me, and actually bother to act grateful for the effort the students put in, be it guy or gal.

so, like, i'm startin' a daily joggin' routine...wake up at 5 every mornin' and go down to jog a few laps round the park...i've actually come to like joggin'...with lots of hard work, dedication n trainin', i might be able to make it into the commandos in future. that's my goal for the time bein'...that, and bein' a history lecturer in NUS or any good JC...none of these are easy goals, but it's always the journey which is the toughest, and the most rewardin', 'cos the experience is unattainable elsewhere.

to anybody out there who has ever played the great game Xenogears<i doubt any of you have>, the soundtrack absolutely rocks! i love the music on it...it's just so touchin', inspirin' n emotional at the same time. i listen to it almost everyday...that, and It's Beautiful, by Leonard Ng, homegrown s'porean composer.

so, like, i watched The Incredibles on VCD just day before yesterday, and it was absolutely great! i was actually pretty skeptical before watchin' it, since i thought it would be just some other cartoon. i was totally blown away by the end of the show. absolutely touchin', it really taught me somethin' about life.

took a typin' test with shawn the other day...crap, i got a net typin' speed of 79 words per min! lost to shawn's net speed of 80 wpm. now i really know i need to work on my typin' speed.

n, it's time to give reconition to the one person whom my life revolves around, and that's none other than the beautiful, matronly and fiercely independent love of my life, Vivien Goh. My life changed, and much for the better, when i got to know her almost a year ago...i walked down a path, and have never looked back, never regretted anythin' i have done since i knew her. she's the one who's made life worth livin' properly, the one gal who's made me believe, and given me the courage to go on. so, if you're readin' this, you go, gal!
