they say a picture speaks a thousand words
here's 4 thousand words for you.






(shot with webcam so pls dun expect high quality)

have ur laugh America,
i'm an idiot.


k just kidding.

English: Hey! A B3! Tot i was gonna flunk.

Humanities: A B4 is good enuff considering both papers
were killers in their own way.

Maths: Im probably the most delighted C6-er in school.

Chemistry: Surprisingly, many ppl failed this one.

Biology: C5, and i'm thankful enough.

POA: Wad a shocker! And wad a surprise! A B4!
and i didnt balance any shit.

Malay: B3. Hmm.. nvrm. the second shot was worth a try.


Overall, im just a little bit disappointed with myself.
my expected RAW score for L1R4 was 18 - 24.
the form writes my score as 16.
but dats including CCA AS a subject.
(I think. Cuz all other methods dun total up to 16)
but anyway, wads more impt is the LR2B2.
For business courses i score an 18 (after CCA)
which practically gets me nowhere,
and for technology courses i score a 19 (after CCA)
which is 1 point short of Real Estate.

Dun ask me about my options
cuz i havent decided on them yet.
All i can tell is all the courses that i am interested in
are beyond my reach.

I'll give this a good and long thought before
i come back and blog here again.
Hopefully i'll attain enlightenment.

btw, i passed Maths ^^
(but still, if they dun put it as a compulsory subject,
my score wud be way better)

pre-O lvl results

w00t.
O lvl results day.
11am.
Just woke up.
My plan worked man.
Play as much soccer as possible the day before,
get myself tired,
so I wont have trouble getting to sleep.

Its 3 more hours til the hour of happiness (??).

Seroyen just told be he is FUD rite now.

Fearful
Uncertain
Doubtful

For me,
i can say im not dat afraid.

Im anxious, nervous, worried
with a slight pinch of relief and excitement.

I dunno why im not so scared.
Whatever the reason, its not because im beeming
with confidence or anything.

Alright gd luck to us all.
Obviously i overslept,
so i have to rush things right now.

this paper wasnt really a killer or anything.
but still this paper was effed up.
Effed up factors:-

i'll do better than prelims.

Fact: I've never passed a Maths exam since sec 2.

Fact 3: I actually think i can pass it this time.
Effed up factor: If i dont...yea..

Effed up factors:

- i think every1 over studied for this paper.

life in 2008 so far (part 2)

If u read dat post below, u shud know
that the whole chunk of words was ripped from Wikipedia.
Yet another example of how lazy
i am to blog these days.
Cant say im lazy.
Just have no flow to what i wanna blog about.
Maybe this is the difference between
going to school and
not going to school.
You just cant think much after not thinking for a long time.

I feel like shit now.
Coughing like mad after going to Josh's place.
Reason being i laughed too much.
And laughing is supposedly "the best medicine"

No doubt, conditions have improved since last time.
I certainly feel that my lungs are cleared.
I can breathe much easily now.
But there's still phlegm,
and it just bloody wont go away.

Life's been dull since asthma.
I may be enjoying life without school,
but i just cant help but think that it would be all so much better
if i were perfectly okay.

Firstly,
I'd be playing soccer without holding back.
Looking back, my performance in the previous
field match was mediocre.
And to think i'd be able to last as winger for 90 mins.

Next,
i'd be enjoying food glorious food.
Ever since asthma, i have strictly restricted myself
from consuming the following:-
- cold drinks
- ice cream
- sweets
- chocolates
- oily food
- fast food

Not eating ice cream, sweets and chocs,
is perfectly bearable.
Its the total opposite for the others.
Where do you go out and eat with ur friends?
Fast food restaurants.
What do you eat when ur outside?
Fast food.

Fortunately, we've been going to coffee shops alot.
Still, its a pain to see you guys enjoy
coke and ice kachang,
while i have to limit myself to tap water.

Theres nothing else really,
except the fact that everything else you do,
is somehow affected because you're feeling like this.
Im sick of this short and heavy breathing.

This isnt related, but to add on to all these,
i even forgot that i was going to NP Open house this Sat,
and instead, i set up a street soccer match for the team.
Now i have to find sum other ppl to go there with
on Friday i suppose.

And its been real boring at home.
Im practically at home every Tues and Thurs
cuz those are the days we dont play soccer.
Sat and Sun's story varies.

At home i just feel like doing nothing la.
Usually end up sleeping,
thn cant sleep at night.
My body clock shifted big time.
I sleep at 3am now.
Wake up ard 8 - 9 am.
and feel sleepy thruout the whole day.

Slept at Josh's place.
And slept in front of the com a while ago,
even not responding to a person messaging
and nudging me.

Life isnt too good early into 2008.
I hope this isnt a preview for things to come.
Someone try to cheer me up okay?


oh, did i mention.
The results are coming soon

Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, (July 20, 1919January 11, 2008)[1][2] was a New Zealand mountaineer and explorer. On 29 May 1953 at the age of 33, he and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.

Hillary was created a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) on 6 June1953;[21] a member of the Order of New Zealand (ONZ) in 1987; and a Knight of the Order of the Garter (KG) on 22 April 1995.[22] He was also awarded the Polar Medal for his part in the Commonwealth Tran-Arctic Expedition.[23] Various streets, schools and organisations around New Zealand and abroad are named after him. A few examples are Hillary College (Otara), Edmund Hillary Primary School (Papakura) and the Hillary Commission (now SPARC).

In 1992 Hillary appeared on the updated New Zealand $5 note; Hillary was the only New Zealander to appear on a banknote during their own lifetime.

To mark the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the first successful ascent of Everest the Nepalese Government conferred honorary citizenship upon Hillary at a special Golden JubileeKathmandu. He was the first foreign national to receive such an honour from the Nepalese. celebration in

A 2.3-metre (7.5 ft) bronze statue of Sir Ed was installed outside The Hermitage hotel at Mt Cook village, New Zealand, in 2003.


On 11 January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died of heart failure at the Auckland City Hospital at around 9 am NZDT (10 January at 20:00 UTC) at the age of 88.[27]

Hillary's death was announced by New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark at around 11:20 am. She stated that his passing was a "profound loss to New Zealand".[28] His death was recognised by the lowering of flags to half-mast at the New Zealand Parliament, Auckland Harbour Bridge and at Scott Base in Antarctica.[29] Actor and adventurer Brian Blessed, who attempted to climb Everest three times, described Sir Edmund as a "kind of titan".


okay the whole entry from above was a total rip-off from Wikipedia.
Therefore, this is a disclaimer stating that none of this is
a result of my independent research, but is sourced from
in my opinion, the best website in the world.

Why do i care about this man so much?
I dont know.

Well, maybe my OBS watch was named after him.
And because of that i read alot about him.
And rather inspired by what he has done in his life.
Yep. Dats about it.


PS: I've got nothing interesting to blog about lately.
in the mean time, check out Marcus' blog.
he's got an interesting story going.

Life in 2008 so far

WAD THE HECK?!?!
I'VE BEEN HIC-CUPPING FOR ONE WHOLE DAY NOW..
WHEN WILL IT STOP!?!?!?!
seriously.

hic-cupped while playing soccer in the morning,
at mosque for friday prayers in the afternoon,
at GESS in the evening,
and now, at night, as i'm blogging.
getting really irritating.

i think its my medicine.
Yup. More doses of Vasican and Ventolin for me.
FYI, those are medicine for phlegm and asthma,
in which im still suffering from even after 1 month already.
ive been to the doctor for 4 times now.
please dun make this asthma a chronic sickness.
OMG just had a mega hiccup.

Ventolin is wicked.
In the airway, activation of the effect of Ventolin results in relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle resulting in a widening of the airway (bronchodilation). Inhaled salbutamol sulfate has a rapid onset of action, providing relief within five to fifteen minutes of administration.
(taken from Wikipedia)

However, its adverse effects are:-
- tremor
-
palpitations
- muscle cramps/aches
- hyperactivity
-insomnia

ALL of which i've been experiencing.

The tremor is killing me.
Its like having a fever; i feel cold yet hot,
resulting in me wearing a jacket
while turning the fan to maximum.

Palpitation
is an abnormal awareness
of the
beating of the heart,
whether it is too slow,
too fast, irregular, or at its normal frequency.
It gets kinda scary at times.

Muscle aches.
What can i say?

Hyperactivity and Insomnia.
Ventolin makes ur heart beat faster.
And this faster pumping of blood to the body,
i think results in hyperactivity
meaning im restless all the time.
And thus, i have insomnia, trouble getting to sleep.

Last night i rolled in bed up til 1.30am,
and woke up at 5am.
doesnt sound too bad,
but i was already very tired.
At least i felt tired,
yet im hyperactive and restless.

Boy, my body is confused.

2008

Happy New Year!
My my, 2007 passed by real fast, and i mean it.

Countdown @ Vivo wasnt really dat nice.
Thank god there was Hady Mirza cuz his performance was brilliant.
;_;
Overall, countdown wasnt more fun to watch
than the fireworks happening directly
above my house, at Mount Faber.
MUCH better ones than last year.
And mind you, last year's werent half bad.
Its partly nicer this year cuz of the
GIANT Xmas Tree lights on display too.
So yea, Mount Faber has turned from a dull to
a real happening place.

Back to the topic,
2007 was supposed to be a prominent year,
and i guess it really was.
After all,it was the year i turned 16.
But really theres no difference between 15 and 16.
At least not on my side of the story.

More importantly,
it was the year for the O LEVELS!!.
At various points of my future life,
I am going to look back at 2007,
and either be real proud of myself,
or curse myself for not working hard enuff.
That would all depend on the results
coming up in January.

So, 2008, what now?
I'm looking towards many changes for myself.
Mainly, rather than just being
a passive member of the family,
sitting down here doing nothing,
yet im doing something by wasting money and electricity,
I wanna be of more use to my parents.
Help them out more and stuff like dat.

And besides that, I think i finally have an ambition now.

So yea, here's to the New Year,
and may all our hopes and wishes
come alive in this new chapter of our lives.

Enjoy 987FM's number 2 song of the year,

Umbrella
by Rihanna



and for your own interest,
rock band, McFly's version of it



i really think it deserved number 1
