nowadays in school its rally boring...
if i were to stay in class...
coz we're not allowed to play with poker cards...
but we actually do... but fear someone catching us...
bridge is a must-have game...
but thank goodness rachel allows us to prep in the debate room...
where we listen to music and eat chocolate cookies...
and do work lar!
can't wait for meth cup...
we're all geared up...
tomorrow my class is supposed to haf some pizza party...
which i will gladly absent myself from...
and friday is just table-moving to new classes...
requiring none of my presence...
thus i'm in holiday now...
hahas... pseudo lar...
come support us at acjc this sat!
unless of course ur our opponents...
then its ok...
good luck then!

wow... paul...

better than idleness in class...
but we must bring cards next time...
good luck to all sec 4s ks...

just came back from church anniversary!!!
really fun...
jake, deborah lam and i were helping out with the primary 4 kids...
they had some carnival thingy...
which ended with popcorn...
plus the dinner was so-so lar...
but we were toking and taking photos of feet/shoes...
hahas...
oh and on the topic of church, JYC 2004 "Inside Out" is on the way...
just two more weeks...
but the sign-up rate has not been very optimistc...
but still, today was much better...
log/food department (pet and myself) are really putting alota work in now...
must get everything done fast...
namely food, transport, packing and accomodation needs of the campers...
the menus are almost out...
hope everyone will like them...
yesterday was the Charitas prelims...
sadly, acsi, along with mgs and some others, crashed out...
really sad...
not sure hu are in the finals after today's rounds...
but not to fret...
meth cup is this sat...

on the way down
i saw u, and u saved me from myself
and i won't forget the way u loved me

cyu everyone!

maia's gone...

but oh well...
rantings of a passive viewer...
today was so yucks!
that azman is totally over his head...
making us keep quiet and read...
liek what the heck!
its after exams lor...
he lives to torment i'm telling u!!!
deep breaths...
enuff abt HIM...

combining both midyear and final year averages of 77.4 and 82.8, i get a grand average of
81.7!!
top in my class...
but i really hope i get a top 5 level position...
doubt it becuz i noe so many ppl hu got higher than me...
such as sae cheong, kevin choy, wong yew jin and leonard tang...
its too unrealistic to think i got 5th...
hmmm...
the final score for all 10 subjects (including PW and ART) are:
10 As, 8 of them A1s and 2 A2s (chinese and maths)
i go out with a bang...
now i shift my focus to debating for AC one last time...
at the meth cup which we won last year...
we should be able to...
its been fantastic...
jlc

results are in!
congrats to all hu did extremely well...
for those hu didn't, its still cool...
there are other times to excel...
as for me, i take the acsi academic arena by storm...
my swansong before leaving...
my final push to glory...
English: 79
Lit: 80
Chinese: 74
Maths: 68 (yucks)
History: 89
Life Science: 88
Geography: 94 (top in level)
Physical Science: 94 (top in level)
thank you

i've done one fun thing lately... at least...
went out with sam and paul on tuesday...
really fun just going places...
then wednesday went to lunh with javier and sean...
pasta mania!
hahas....
didn't attend school today....
coz the schedule is how boring...
congrats to paul for winning the quiz!
can't wait for results!!!

as wacky as it seems,
i haf not done anything remotely post-examish yet...
i'm now hafing this bad bout of asthma thats restricting my breathing...
so all i've done is to watch cooking programmes and the oprah winfrey show...
yesterday i was at the study in australia fair...
it wasn't too bad..
but not what i'm looking for...
meaning i shall be cooped up in singapore for the next few years in the least...
so here i am being bored and dull...
while some ppl go to wacth the terminal......
hahas... no lar...
darius!! why need to tell me ya'll going?
oh and hu's the two "unknown" ppl u went with??
hmmm...
at least i can go out tomorrow...
and saturday comes the nkf symposium...
i can't find its exact location... there isn't any whampoa...
does anyone now???
off to breathe uneasily...
jlc

i dun need u here messin' with my mind

well, the eoys are over, hard as it is to believe...
i still dun haf that nice feeling...
partly coz the papers weren't the breeze i was expecting...
and partly coz i'm a teensy zoned out...
been feeling unwell... still its not too bad...
thanks jamie!
good luck for ur papers k!!
and the results last nite were ok...
but not exactly what the rest of the nation was expecting...
but david yeo is not a good singer...
actually, none of the guys are...
maybe taufiq...
but he should stick to 'them slow ballads...
didn't go out today...
quite weird hor, considering it is the last paper today...
coz we all could not decide...
so i guess monday and tuesday will be the re-opening of my social calender...
hahas... sounds so wat...
two day hoilday before we haf to go bk to school...
and results on thurs...
hmmm...
njc induction is coming up...
hope its fun...
issis ju?
i guess i'll hope for the best...
and hope my decision is the best one...

but i hold on to secrets
in white houses

olinda, daphne, maia and leandra...
fantastic...
the rest: just get out already...
jerry and chris michael are not considered singers...
-i screwed up maths and i'm gonna fail-

the middle mark has been passed...
and my assessment of the papers so far is not too bright...
but i hope i can use the maths and sciences to pull me up one notch...
thanks for tagging!

the past 4 papers haf gone by uneventfully...
but my confidence level is way too low...
oh might i mention that there were two guys hu were crying after the history paper today
one of them was because he didn't do the whole of the 20-mark structured-essay qn
ok... let me point of a few things about this whole crying business
my assumption is that that guy either didn't noe the qn was there as it was at the last pg
or that he had no time to do it...
so the first would mean he's dumb
the second is semi-excusable
but even if thats true...
he should be confident that the other sections can let him get a decent B grade...
unless he's not... cuz he didn't noe how to asnwer
in which case, that guys dumb as well...
sickening isn't it...
rite...
there are a number of papers left to go...
like tomorrow's geog...
which i HAVE to ace...
or my studying will be futile!!! boohoohoo... x)
coz i've really crammed the textbook and more into the abysses of my memory...
effectively wiping out more impt information...
my address and full name haf probably been replaced by the UNEP's functions and the definitions of haze and smog...
...pollution is the introduction of substances into the environment resulting in unpleasant of harmful effects on plants, animals, humans and buildings...
and its the beginning of the more difficult papers....
maths and chinese!!!
hahas...
good luck to everyone again...
cyu around!
jlc (thats my name rite?)

its changed again...
my layout is oh so perfect this time round...
thanks goodness...
i won't be changing this for at least a few months...
hahas...
oh and i've redone the links, so check them out...
if u'd prefer something cooler (i couldn't think of anything better then)
just drop me a tag and i'll change it pronto!
exams begin tomorrow...
i'm quite prepared, but i fear i become complacent...
cannot!! must go study more...
wishing everyone all the best, rest well, take care
and meet the highest mark u can get!
john
-way up there-

At the reception after the utterly boring honours day service,,,

singapore is not talented in choosing hu's good and hu's not...
how could they keep jerry in???!!!
and jessea is the best in the competition...
now how?
only got olinda left to support...
all the guys are really not good lor...
wish shirin was in...
oh and daphne oso quite cool...

but its been fulfilling...
thank you
