Teach me how...
1:48 AM

Spiritual Life v.s. Social Life.
Social Life v.s. Academic.
Academic v.s. Self Determination.
Self Determination v.s. Health.
Health v.s. Performance.

A balanced life?
Or is it not?

"If you don't score your Aces, who will?"
"Don't worry about me, focus on your other subjects."
"Let's go and have lunch!"
"DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS!!"
"Remember that you're still holding onto a rank!"
"She's your good friend, talk to her."
"I've no time, go away!"


Self-control! Hey, C'mon! You can do it! Stand up! Pick yourself up! Don't be distracted by those nonsense! Who cares about them! You lead your own life! Your life don't belongs to them! FOCUS, your heart and mind! Focus them on the things that you're trying to do, or you won't accomplish anything! Not say accomplish, starting is already a very big problem! Stop scrolling down the opened windows! Restrict yourself! Practise self-control! Humble yourself down and do what you're supposed to do! Ignore the outside World! Be anti-social! Isolate yourself from others! Don't think about expressions! Friends are obstructions! Objects are devil's tools! Close your eyes! See nothing but your work!

Ignore them! - WHO IS YOUR FRIEND?!
Don't stare at those! - ARE THEY WORTH YOU LOOKING AT?!
Stop whatever you're doing! - GET BACK TO WORK!
What's most important now? - REVISE FOR YOUR UPCOMING EXAMINATIONS!

But the thing is...
I just simply can't focus with my ever-flowing chain of thoughts...

Interesting!
12:03 AM

This post's supposed to be referring to what happened on July 25th but due to some unexpected late returning of me, it's posted after midnight.

This few days have been somewhat interesting, despite those lack-of-sleep experiences, dozing off in-between classes, frustrations brought by school work, and everything else. Today's a good example of such typical experience.

During Chanbara Class, PE lesson...
Instructor, "You all better perform with efficiency and speed, complete the relay system by at most 4 minutes on the August the 29th if you don't want to bring undue stress upon yourselves."
Zeus, "Pss! CX! What's undue! Ang-mo class!"
Me, (lost for words due to the sudden outburst of English question in a PE lesson.) "erm....."
Zeus, "You don't know ah! Unnecessary larh! Bo-doh!"
Me, "Oh right."

Oh gosh! How can Zeus, a typical F9, English Band 5 student, leave a Band 2 student speechless over some really really trivial matters?! It's rather obvious that he've been trying his best to upgrade by... Application methods? Well, at least he lived up to the Quest Secondary creed, "... to ask many many questions when necessary!" HA HA!!!

Met Tab. She's just, too good a pianist.

Left for City hall! Mug at MacDonald's, with the study corner occupied. Urgh! I just hate that feeling of mugging in the open, alone. Squandered the rest of the time away, waiting impatiently for the piano recital by the Thai pianist. He's, really good!

Shan't elaborate too much on the details. Going off for supper now! It's gonna be a long day tomorrow! Shenyang students are coming, again! What's more, their first destination in Singapore will be the school! WOW! How exciting! Gotta prepare for it!

Work hard? - Just for now.
8:43 PM

人间的变化;人性的改变;时代的变迁;历史的悲剧。

As the days are being counted down, they see no fear. Just what have the ancient urge of urgency went to? Celebrations after celebrations, I watched as the time ticked away. When will they come to realise, the limitations in Life, given this ever-changing World?
"The World knows no peace, and rest."
Yes. What have actually happened to the society we all live in? We're living in hell because of globalization?
We've gone through thus much - Is this it?!

The break's over and school begins.
Mourning Monday blues loomed just everyone's heart.
But then again, it's Racial Harmony Day!
A nap in the stuffy hall would take place once again.

Wonder of all wonders in school,
the speaker sings, "Quando, quando, quando!"
Was this a true Racial Harmony Celebration?
hmm... This really makes me wonder.

Numbness, lessons, and delayed recess.
Oh allow me some time alone!
Run! Faster, faster, FASTER!!
We're all late for class!

The clock strikes eleven-fifteen.
Crap, I've not done my math!
"Oh, when's the teacher coming?"
The cheerings begin to sound.

And then again, the crap begun.
Just in the midst of all these stress.
Oh man! Where's the will to study?
When the exam's just - There!

Eleven minus seven equal four.
It may be just four months to freedom.
seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
But there's five months of intense torture ahead!

Perhaps a relief from those Monday Blues?
Perhaps it's laziness that's taking a toll?
Let's not be bothered about those around,
and continue working hard - Just for now.

我的祷告
7:21 PM

生命的道路 我步行中
生活的曲子 我耳边飘泊
路旁的景象 我完全不明白
我幼小的心灵 何时才能领会那生命的意义

我在床上 转了几下
生命的悲剧 在我面前浮现
听着他人不停的宣告:“神爱世人!”
那你又如何解释 — 眼前的一切?

我们要爱 爱着周围的人
尽心的;尽意的,让他走上真理路
我要欢喜 我要歌唱
把主的爱 带到他人心中!

但我无法向前;无法踏出
这那么第一步
我看见他人,狠狠的鞭打
那造他们的上主!

看着世间失去了人情;看见人间失去了自尊
从前的爱 — 在哪里?
看着罪恶在世上的权力
我呼喊:“上帝,在哪里?!”

这世上的一切,我还是不明白
— 神为何这样行。
我空虚的心灵 仍然 在黑暗里争扎。

人们常说 — 我们要爱 爱着周围的人
尽心的;尽意的,让他走上真理路。
我要欢喜 我要歌唱
把主的爱 带到他人心中!

种种见证,摆在我面前
听到之时 把它当笑话。
圣经的教导 我听过了一些,
我抬头问上主:“那我如何?”

我的心在空虚里争扎
我的灵不肯相信。
心里想:“生命的意义,何处找?”
就听到:“祷告,因为我渺小。”

虚空的生命 — 不好过
孤独的人生 — 怎么走
我要个伴 — 她却离弃我
世上还有谁 — 能爱与照管我?

会友的生命 — 无忧也无虑
他们的爱心 他们的关怀
处处感动我
我坚定心志,说:“我要过着他们的生命!”

我要学爱 学爱那破碎的心灵
尽心的;尽意的,让他走上真理路。
我要填补 我要关怀
把主爱带到他人的心中!

I Need - TIME.
7:17 PM

English, Chinese, Mathematics and Science.
These are the basics, of human life.
So where are, those arts and humanities?
-Why did you ask?!
They are chunk right behind me!

Oh why did you, just leave them aside?
They are part of your JC criterias!
Don't you want to pursue your dreams?
-Why hesistate!
Start working on them tonight!

Coursework, setwork, and never-ending journal writing.
They are expensive and very time consuming.
Theory, practical and constant scoldings.
-How am I to carry on?
Drop the subject if you need!

Lessons, remedials, tutorials, and workshops.
Swallowing sweets faster than flowing water.
Tutions, practices, CIP and investiture.
Oh my gosh!
I've just missed 4 periods of lessons!

Staggering workloads, covered my desk.
Catching my breath, as I continued running.
I need a place, a place for my mug.
-Oh darn it!
I spilled my coffee!

Sleepless nights, spent alone.
Among with practise papers, as my fateful partners.
Then come daybreak, I can't walk straight.
-Look, I'd better be alright.
For O's Listening Compre!

Oh Semibreves, with a tie.
On the vocal, melody line.
Just when will this piece ever end?
Teachers all say,
"3 more months! Work doubly hard okay!"

Semibreves, with a tie.
Can I insert a rest inside?
A breath is all I need to catch.
-"I'm so sorry."
"So why can't you put in your best, for this last, -lap?!"

Run run run! Yes I'll run!
Complete this lap, with all I have!
"But don't run too fast!"
-Whooops!
This last leap, brought me over the hedge.

I'm not so dumb! I know my limits.
Mistakes are inevitable, but please don't make many.
Look at the brighter side!
-And say,
"Oh look! O's almost over!"

Thank God, it is not 639.
I guess that piece, goes on forever.
Tell me if education's meant to be...
-Gasps.
A torture for all 21st century students?!

Now it's school, along with me.
Perhaps also with a tie?
Can't I just manipulate the rule,
and breathe in some fresh air?
- "I'm so sorry."
"But you no longer have the time".

Sixteen!!
11:47 PM

Thanks Jayne jiejie for accompanying me through this special day!!

A beautiful day with an unfortunate beginning.
I was pissed with the school unknowingly. Perhaps because of the bus that seemingly took a day to come, causing me to be late, or something else, on this special day itself? I see this poem gaining a stand in my handbook.

Behind those pairs of eyes.

Their eyes filled with arrogant,
With time standing ridiculously still.
These tears parallel to their eyes,
Hoping a bent in those rigid rules.

They pronounces "time" as "thumb",
"Foyer" as "For-yay".
Just what are we in their eyes?
-Those self-centered, arrogant eyes.

Their head's filled with undeniable knowledge.
They have got their certificates.
Just why won't they understand the basics of humanities?
I thought as I stared firmly into those eyes.

"Every action has it's consequences..."
-They said, rolling, their eyes.
Perhaps they understood their mistakes?
Since Mutual Respect's removed from their core values.

The ministry - we may always blame.
Never knowing who's the main culprit.
But deep in our hearts, we hide from others
- A secret hidden behind these teary eyes.

And so, life went on. An ordinary day was what I wished it was, with extraordinary results. Almost everyone I knew left for Ngee Ann for this course that I found useless, leaving only Jiuying in the class, studying with me. It's not too bad though, I've really got to thank her for being there actually! I can't imagine how's everything going to be without anyone by my side.

Felt so selfless upon leaving Crescent. I, being a non-literature student, actually helped in the setting up for the literature festival that will take place tomorrow! Amazing. It'd be better if Vivien didn't shout my name and a "Happy Birthday" in that crowded bus stop that made so many wandered who I am.

Left for Parkway! I got onto the wrong bus. Thankfully the bus went to somewhere I knew, else I won't be able to meet Jayne on time. Dinner was great! VJC Piano Ensemble Recital was better! Frankly, it was much better than last year's recital. Met Ningrong, as bold as ever. Well, I can't be bothered to follow her again.

Now I'm currently feeling really sorry for Jayne. She've been working all day, taken a few hours off her busy schedule just for me. Now, she's back to work without rest. Hope that she'll rest early and be recharged for the activities in store tomorrow!

Sorry but Thanks again Jayne!!
If you're reading this, don't tell me not to be sorry okay?

Brenda, you've disappointed me. =|


Friday, July 11, 2008


"Speechless..."
8:01 PM

"I need to talk to you..."
- Okay. Make it quick, I'm tired!
"You can't accompany Brenda."
- WHAT?! Whatever. I've not actually started practising.
"We need you to change your mentality."
- Whatever. Just jump to the conclusion will you?!
"You have to stick to your Waltz no matter how hard it may be."
- Come on. Music is about likings NOT TIMINGS.

"Unless you call up Tabitha. She've a whole list of nice pieces."
- I'm not as pro. I need TIME to practise!

"She's a fast learner, so you don't have to worry."
- WHAT ABOUT MYSELF?!
"You're being accessed, not her. Make up your mind. Tabitha don't have to. Actually, she never does."
- Yes, I don't have to know. What's your point?!
"I want to hear from you tomorrow."
- WHAT?! I NEED TIME TO THINK AND GO THROUGH THE SCORES!!
"So make sure you e-mail us A.S.A.P."
- Whatever. I'll try my best to then. Darn.

Recently.
11:54 PM

I LOVE My English Teacher!!! =D

It's seriously a pity that such a nice poster like the one above isn't found in Quest. Look, the band 2 & 5 teacher's such a good teacher! Although she can be crazy at times, but she's able to control her emotions very well! Given my knowledge about her, I can't really judge her about her teaching skills but I seriously thinks that she's a good teacher. As what that's written on the poster, "I LOVE MY ENGLISH TEACHER!"
It's been quite a while since I last posted. Well, not too long ago though - just last Friday. Many things happened this week... But I'd just want to stress on a point - this week is filled with NO-FUN-AT-ALL!!!!

The tools along with the materials.
The machine, and its switches.
Lined up in front of my eyes.

Words started running in my head,
saying, "Gasps, I'm so dead."
Interrupted by some really disturbing...
"Oi!! Do your work!"

And so, Design & Technologies lessons begun the scheduled 20 hours of utter tedium in the stuffy workshop one. Faced with the not-so-new machines after one year of separation seems really weird. Friends aren't the same as they used to be! Now, time doesn't allow me to get used to them again. What am I going to do???

Music was seriously boring. Not the same as it used to be! Ms L happened to be extremely kind and thoughtful today, although there's still so many who feared her. Maybe she've found a boyfriend (I feel so evil)? Or perhaps, she's just in a good mood. Oh well. Sorry for the longwinded paragraph above. Just one point for music - Local poems isn't good for composing...
