I passed my final theory test!!!! and i just took it once!!! yay~~~
i'm so proud of myself for sticking to the books the whole day. luckily it paid off handsomely at night for me, if not i'll have to resort to another round of dreadful mugging. eeeeks. at first i felt myself returning to the old studious pre-A levels me, but this feeling decays away as the hours passed. i've lost the momentum after idling for 6months. shameful me.... even my stamina's badly affected by the break. i once complained about my muscular thighs from volleying, now they're all flabby n....flabby...haha. okay, the point is, at least mugging still works for me. cus i passed!
i still can't believe i failed my basic theory the first time when i could've passed it had i prepared well.. a waste of money, that's what it is. learning driving is so not cheap ok...... and i have to go thru the same trauma of my dad poking fun at how lousy i was.......just the thought of it pisses me off. argh! oh well, at least i get to proudly stash the cert in his face today. what, are u crazy?! of cus i won't do that to my dad!!!! hahahaaa.... i just luffed damn loudly.
yar, i'm a bit insane. why am i talking to myself? hahaaaa.... anyway, theory tests are puny as compared to ... practicals!!! hai~ i have to conquer my fear man... and hopefully do some miracle like a 'one-time pass'??? i can only wish AND practice hard!!! people, have faith in me. and pray hard, so that i can 'long pang' ur to school or drive ur go shopping...hahahahaaaa...
***matric day on monday- yay~ but one prob, i'm hopeless when it comes to the details.... sian.

oh i'm a sinner!!
Oh i'm a sinner!!!!
Anyone has any precise and painless suggestions on how to regulate spending?
Or rather who can teach me how to not spend like i have thousands in my bank account?
How do you even resist the temptation of SHOPPING to begin with?!
Staying home's the most primitive of ways it seems.
Kaoz...what the hell is wrong with me and my greedy mind......

Ugly singaporeans
Ugly singaporeans & their distasteful behaviour....
did you read the new paper article about how some ugly singaporeans inconvenience the work of civil servants like medics when they're trying to save lives? i can't help but frown upon such disgusting behaviour man. if you don't wana help, fine. well you can just 'siam' to one side and let them do their job. but NO, because you're bloody late for work and your boss will, [as if 'to your absolute horror'] cut your pay by $30 bucks...and SO you cannot even allow the medic in. even if he's rushing to save a life, or something like that. yuck! you're so bloody ugly....disgusting, down-right cold-blooded! and to those who 'die die' must squeeze into the lifts and insist on endangering others' lives....you can go stab yourself. and i hope there'll be a dozen equally insensitive assholes out there to get in your way in your time of need. why? cus your karma says so.
that's just one of the examples to showcase the 'low-end' group of singaporeans. i feel damn sad cus i'm kinda proud to be one..... not in the ugly way though. you wana know why foreigners keep dissing us? that's cus even our own people can't help criticizing our behaviour sometimes. the next time we're too quick to defend ourselves when attacked, maybe we should do some soul-searching before pouncing at them. that's not to say they're always right. but it doesn't mean we're certainly victimised just because we're at the recieving end.
today, i went to this famous temple at bugis cus it's 'kuan ying dan'. ok anyway, i was there to pray lah, with my mom. i just wana comment on the appalling behaviour of some people... majority of them, sad to say, are singaporeans. and to be more specific, aunties in their mid 40s and 50s......i feel sorry that you're aging but do you really have to be so rude and grouchy?!
the way they push you is like as if you don't deserve to stand anywhere near them. and they give you that 'you're such a nuisance' look. not that it's super provocative but you'll definitely feel irritated right. and the excuse that 'oh, it's probably the heat, or the crowd or the....' is getting really, really old. so i had to push them back. there are some who repeatedly steps on your foot and refuse to apologise. so again, i either glare at them or shout 'wah lau eh'.....sorry, it's kinda inapropriate for me to do so but they should be lucky i didn't resort to head-butting.
and they'll even nag at you and can go on and on and on about it......just because you're unfortunately standing in their way. what about compassion and kindness???? isn't that what you practice in buddhism? i hope they're not praying to strike lottery, cus they're so not gonna strike in a hundred years. and there's the classic nightmarish mrt incidents. i'll leave that for some other time.
i'm not skewed so i have to admit there're many good people around too. but it just takes a few bad apples to cover the underlying better ones. and sadly, this is how stereotyping works.

plenty of nothing
Plenty of Nothing
my friends are starting school one after another and yet i'm still engaging in pretty much nothing. but this nothing means something cus it just about concludes that i'm not doing anything fruitful or beneficial [if i exclude reading straits times every morning]. i'm not too sure if i'm absolutely ready for varsity life, to be precise. yet all these while my mind is so damn convinced that i'll be good for take off.
it just occured to me that the period before school officially starts is the busiest of all. there're a whole lotta stuff to do and sign up for which if you don't constantly check the freshmen guide, may miss them out altogether. just when i, or every other prospective undergrad may even feel safely taken by NUS, we'd better be more alert before we miss anything. it won't take much to make ourselves realise that at this stage, a lot of things depend solely on our own initiatives.
take the example of tuition fee loans, health-screening or even the QET. especially the tuition fee loan part....the closing date is actually 15th july...which is about a few days left. thank god i checked the guide again. [think i'm just gonna read it religiously like a bible from now till august] i really can't afford to miss anything out. no joke man, if i don't get a loan, my parents have to pay more...and then it'll result in the shrinkage of my allowance..haha. and it all comes back to me and my money, really. lol. of cus there'll be people who finds it no big deal...they can just go to hell.... cus everything means a lot to me now.
to think that glyn n all can just start school...hassle-free and gradual...i kinda envy that. BUT, it also comes with a huge price...as in the PRICE, literally. i'm still kinda sour about the $52 bucks. but money buys security, that i must admit. anyhow, i hope they're tunning in well to their own varsity lives too...while i bitterly wait for mine....haha. let me just try to recall the no. events which will take place in this prep-month of july...
1) sign-up for tution fee loan
2) apply tertiary ez-link card n get a hybrid concession
3) health-screening in school
4) take the QET
5) sign up for O-week
6) maybe help-out for rag
7) *very impt* get matriculated OFFICIALLY!!!
....hmmm.....what else....
oh! a non-Nus related item...take my FINAL THEORY exam!!!
woah...what a list....and not to mention my tutoring.
let's just not go into details......

the aftermath...
the Aftermath....
5days of chaos, exhaustion, madnes...etc etc... it was like a mad-rush everywhere...hardly anytime to slow down. one moment we're at the forum playing lame games, the next we're seated before a row of guys engaging in some "speed-dating" thingy, and the next thing we know we're hurrying to the toilets to 'chope' cubicles for shower.
when was the last time i had time to actually sit down and do some deep thinking? i can hardly remember. i was close to dead by the end of the day...which, to me, was unnecessarily a bad thing. for the first time since A'levels, i felt such a great sense of belonging and utility...lol. not to say i was useless before....but more like my life's more meaningful during those 5 days i was at artscamp.
i hate cheering, and i desperately craved to disappear amongst my groupmates. that is the exact time which my insignificant frame can do charity for me, but unfortunately, as the strength of my OG shrinks, everyone became so prominent all of a sudden. but it didn't take long for us to feel comfortable around each other. before we knew it, everyone became so gung-ho and enthu [at certain points of the camp], but we were still pretty much cranky in the mornings. haha. and i bet we gave the most DUH-look when the yellow house ics started cheering away merrily... our eyes must have rolled twice in all directions. lol.
generally, artscamp is like the most entertaining and fun and exciting and whatever nice adjectives you can name kinda camp! no qualms about it...at least from me! >_<
honestly, fun is really an understatement. i've made great pals and took with me truckloads of fond memories....*smilessss*
hmmm it's kinda hard for me to narrate everything here about the entire artscamp but if you really wana know i'll tell you...haha. think most of them knew already. esp the cute councilors part...lol. ooops....nvm. anyways...you guys can visit the artscamp link on the right to have a better picture!
Og outing this thursday....yay!!!!
Gimme an A *clap* R *clap* T, S *clap clap* !!!!
