Better than King Koil...
Or Simmons or Four Star at that.
LOL. This bed rocks! (Quite literally...) It can even sway and rock you to sleep if 20 cents is put in it.
Here's another one.
King size. Can sleep two.
If only you're small enough.

Holidays
Getting out of bed late. Very late.
Football.
Going to school nearly everyday for the first few weeks for extra lessons.
Football.
Holiday homework.
Football.
CCA.

Supposed to do A Math practices and study. End up stoning and staring into blank space.

Missing 210/'05 class chalet.
Football.
Doing nothing on Halloween. Doing nothing on Christmas.
Football.
Piano.
Football.

Football.
Movies? Holidaying overseas?
I'm bored. And I don't quite see any light at the end of this tunnel.
Light? No.
More homework, being targetted at by crazy teachers, more studying, more stress and the 'O'-Levels exams? Yes.
Welcome to the holiday life of a typical Secondary Three student in Singapore.

Post Exam Stress
I've been working on the 210/'05 class tee lately, and you can never imagine how much work it requires!
It's so sad many of the ex-210 people no longer feel so bonded to 210/'05 and many do not want to buy the shirt.
Here's the logo, still only half complete, after 15+ hours spent working on it.
Yes, there are words meant to be on the banner. But 'You'll never run alone' is just so wrong. So we're still brainstorming of a better and less lame non-IMF created motto.
We do have some originality.
Why scorpion? I don't know. Why lions? I don't know. Why so ugly? Shut up.
Just a logo for logo sake. Don't ask too many questions - it's not good for either of our health.
After the class tee, I'll still need to work on the BB company tee.
Not being able to use the computer is not helping either.
Then there's BB community involvement activity I'm required to plan for my squad.
And I want my fucking ball back. It was only one day old.
Is it really how this is going to be? Nan Hua a ball-stealing bitch school, with the school authorities encouraging such crime??
And does anyone know when we're required to return to school during the holidays? My mum wants to know and I don't know a damn thing!
Will there be a BB camp? Or only LDC2 for those who didn't make it in June?
And I don't want to be doing A Math problems all holiday!
Shit, it's post-exam and I still have to handle so many stressful things.

Mission: Accomplished
I had tried to tone the letter down before handing it to her the next day. But I ended up sounding more guailan.
Before that, we knew either Bernadette will triple kill us, or she will get owned.
Bernadette got owned.
From harsh punishment and scoldings, to less harsh punishment and mere questioning of our tones, and finally to apology, twice, and pretty much no punishment at all.
"Let's put the past behind us. We shall have a good relasionship from now..."
"I apologise if I was too harsh on you guys..."
"Do any of your parents want to see me? I can clarify matters with them..."
Yes. We've got balls. Mission accomplished.

Letter to Bernadette the Bitch
To: Bernadette Lim
My friends and I were going up to class at around 1pm on Friday (13/10/2006). Our lunch break had just ended and we were making our way up from a football game.
When we reached the fourth floor, we heard Mrs. Bernadette Lim’s ear-piercing voice. She was on the fifth floor and we heard her shouting at a couple of students, as usual.
As I was in my PE attire and I know wearing it for lunch would cause Mrs. Lim to start finding trouble with me, I decided to take a detour and go up from another stairway on the fourth floor. My friends, being my buddies, also accompanied me.
When we made it to the fifth floor, we walked back to our class. However, on the way back, we saw Mrs. Lim walking our way from outside our class in the distance.
So once again, we went back down to take a separate route, the original one.
We reckoned that she had gone, as she was previously walking away from our class, so I thought the danger of being picked on by her was gone.
So we went up, already late for lesson. She was still there, targeting a bunch of Lower Secondary pupils over their hair.
Then she turned to us. She flared up and started screaming at us, asking us if we knew the time then and why we were late for class. Then she started scolding me for not having my ‘proper attire on’. Then shouted for me to go back to my class, get changed, and report back.
I did. However, I fail to comprehend why the PE attire is not allowed to be worn during lunch break. If it isn’t what she considers as the ‘proper attire’ to be worn in school, then why is the attire sold in school? Is it not right if I decide to engage in sporting activities in what I define as the proper sport attire? Is it not right to try to keep my uniform clean from mud that might stain it if I played soccer?
I understand a need for students to wear neat and standardised attire during lessons or assembly. However, during break time? I don’t fully understand a need to do so.
Anyway, I did get changed.
Then she started scolding us for irrelevant stuff. She started shouting things at us such as “Don’t try to mess with me!” and “If you want to behave like a delinquent, I will not hesitate to kick you out of my school!”
Then she scolded me for giving her ‘that look’. I was giving her a perfectly straight face. If there was something wrong with my expression, then nine billion other people around the world deserve a scolding by her too. If she just doesn’t like my face, then sorry, but I don’t quite like her face either.
She then proceeded to ask Mr. Liu, whose period for my class was for, if we were perpetual late comers for class. He said yes.
That is not true. These teachers enjoy picking on students like us. I probably went in late for his lesson for less than five times. In fact, more often than not, he comes in late for class, not us.
She carried on haranguing at us and started to stab me in my chest with her red pen, pushing me back all the time. Rest assured, that hurts real bad. And when I raised my back to shield it off by covering my chest, she pushed my hand down and asked me to put my hand down, all this while continually stabbing.
She then asked me how many times I came in late for class this year. I told her I didn’t know. Am I supposed to keep count each time I come in late for class? Usually it is the teachers who come in late for class. And I bet they don’t keep count.
Then she called me a ‘first class idiot’ for not knowing how many times I went in late for class this year.
I would now like to ask her how many times she went to the toilet this year. Don’t know? FIRST CLASS IDIOT.
All the time while scolding us, she also kept pointing her finger in our faces and poking the air in front of us. Her finger was so close to our faces that she seemed like she wanted to skewer our eyeballs and gorge them out.
Now did her parents ever teach her any basic manners? That’s not just rude and insulting, it’s taunting.
Then she finally let us off back to class, after delaying us later by 10 minutes, requesting for a letter of explanation and reflection on Monday. Thus this letter.
The above was the explanation.
Now for my reflection.
I regret being late for class, and I will not be late for class anymore, as it is utterly troublesome, time-consuming, embarrassing, insulting, and can even be painful.

What the hell...
Euro 2008 Qualifier Weekend.
Group B. Scotland took France. Scotland won. 1-0. What the hell?!
Group E. England against Macedonia. Goalless draw. What the hell?!
Anyways, our class got four of our EOY papers back. I was so nervous before I got them back.
Now, I still am.
Afterall, the papers we got back were for the subjects Chemistry, Biology, E Math and Physics, all of which I ought be shot if didn't score well. I was rather confident I would do well for these papers.
Here are my results:
Chemistry - 65/100 (B3)
Biology - 79.5/100 (A1)
E Math Paper I - 65/80 (A1); Overall I got an A. Not sure exact marks though.
Physics - 70.5/100
And I guess I did rather well. For my standards at least.
For Chemistry, I'm pretty pleased, but yet slightly frustrated. You see I have never passed a Chemistry paper this year, apart from the test on Speed of Reaction. When we gathered in the morning at the assembly ground, I asked Miss Lim if I had passed. She told me I should have gotten an A. She said I didn't because I left the last question blank. I was amazed. I like got 60+?! Me?! During her period that day, she returned the papers. I got 65/100. Getting a B3 is a big accomplishment. (Expecially since I only used no more than three hours to study everything in our syllables.) Thus pleased.
However, I know I could get an A. I didn't have time to complete the last ten-mark question. Instead, I had spent too much time on a question which was phrased confusingly, causing me to misinterpret it. In the end, I didn't do that question either. I didn't manage to get the marks I deserved to get as a result. Thus no A, and thus my frustration.
Anyhows, Miss Lim now owes me an ice cream cone. Muahaha!
For Biology, I'm glad. I think I did well. But then again, comparing to all those 306 people I'm nowhere. But at least reached my target of an A1.
For E Math, I'm disappointed over the Paper I results. But overall I am pleased. I thought I could get at least 70/80. I didn't, thanks to all my careless mistakes and ommision of written workings. But I though I had done really badly for my E Math Paper II, which apparently I didn't. Although I also had not enough time to complete the Paper II, somehow it didn't pull my overall down too much. Still got an A. Satisfied.
Physics. 70.5/100. I should get an A1. I could too. But I did not enough time to complete my last question once again.
Okay, so I had done quite okay for these four subjects (or at least I think I have). Now what's left are the killer subjects. English Language. Chinese Language. A Math. Social Studies. Geography.
Languages are really hard to score. Unless you are able to think along the same line as the setter of the paper, it's hard to provide the standard answer the setter is looking for. So I'm unable to tell if I had done well. But I know I had already lost some marks in both papers. I overshot the word limit for the English summary. I didn't complete ten marks worth of questions for Chinese.
A Math. 26 marks worth of questions undone. No time to do the graph question or the last one either. Should have opted for the second option for the last question. So much easier. Zzz. My paper is offically upon 54 instead of 80 now.
Social Studies. Also no time to finish. 13 marks gone. Yay.
Geography. Same ol', same ol'. Insufficient time. 15 marks gone.
Hope I don't fail any of these four killer subjects.
I want my notebook. (Not the paper 555 ones. Personal laptop digital notebook.) I need to get three As (which I already have), three Bs (I need two more) and no failures to get it.
I want to own those 211/'05 noobs.
Now I'm feeling nervous.
And sian.

Irritating Language
Normal English: I want to catch a movie instead of going to the park.
Irritating Language (Basic) : moii ish wan to watch movie wit euu wor. dun go park lehx.
Irritating Language (Advanced) : MoiI iSh wAnZz TOx WAtcH moOvie WIt euU wOrS... doNch gO pARk LEHsZXxx!!
You see, reading one paragraph of Irritating Language in a blog post causes you to get very frus. It takes you the same time to decipher it as to reading 10 paragraphs of Normal English.
So if you blog in the Irritating Language, you're practically saying "Don't visit my blog. It's a real hassle. I'm only acting cute.".
So if you're one of them using the Irritating Language, stop it.

New Blog
Exams are OVERRR! Time to PARTY!!
For now at least.
Sianszx... Should be feeling pretty happy and carefree right now, and occupied with fun stuff. But somehow I just feel so bored.
Thus the existence of this blog. And I know, the orange does seem a little gay... But oh well.
Hope you guys don't feel this way too. I guess everyone's enjoying their lives after the exams.
Don't really feel like blogging any interesting stuff. My life isn't exactly that interesting.
Wonder how my exam results will be... I know it will surely be an improvement from the previous few tests and exams, but I don't think I can be as tyco as last year and even get Good Progress Award. Hopefully can own all those 211 cheebye kias.
Got my handphone back, so got anything can contact me again.
Feel like going out some time... Just feel so bored and frus stuck at home and knowing that the time of my life is still crawling past silently. I'm practically wasting my life away if I don't do something. I don't want to waste my life. I want to spent it. Enjoy it.
Oh here I go again. Typing mindlessly, blogging on everything that comes into my head. This post will become really long if this goes on. So I'll stop here.
