finally done...

after so long, i have finally finish up my photos collection and the write up. The write up isnt hard because i already have in mind what i want to write about. Since fitting into the word limit is really hard, i just chose to simple discard that rule. xP

bad karaoke going on here..

i really should be mugging now considering that i have went out the whole morning and spent the rest of the time till now doing the collage.. But got to share this relieved state of mine.. HAHAHA..

Due to lack of time, i shall leave the many words about last day of school / teachers' day / nerds' photo-spree day till a later time [when i get bored of mugging i suppose]..

Here are the collages... =)

Yea.. i know what you are thinking and i agree with you: "Roy, you are one greedy boy!" Being a perfectionist, i cannot bear to remove many photos and it took me great pain to remove many others since they cannot fit in. I know that the pictures will appear small but i think that it's fine. Haha..

and my write up goes like this:

"Life is like a piece of painting. Everyone started off as careless, amateur artists, experimenting different techniques on a fresh sheet of paper. Some were born with better sets of tools to start with, some born with less. Through the process of life, we acquire new tools to work with. Some useful, some not; some even harmful. Yet this is not just another simple piece of art, this painting of life is unique and permanent; it is irreversible. As we grow older, we become more experienced and also make fewer mistakes due to carelessness, but we can only minimize errors, not remove them. Hence, redecorate the faults and be proud of them, for they are necessary for growth; remember as well, never to make the same mistake twice… Thus I am really grateful to DHSfor providing such a wonderful environment filled with caring teachers and friends, presenting me with a whole array of tools to colour up my life. A big and sincere “THANK YOU” and I hope “今日我以德明为奥，他日德明以我为荣”. "

That's 188 words if you are wondering. More than triple of the limit. Since i give one less picture, there should be more space for me right? i shall stick to that assumption. =D Anyway, this is the simplified version of my analogy of life. Shall save up the more "chim" version. Special thanks to Daniel Tey Jun Yan for helping me with my expression.

Dinner is calling. Books are calling. Got to go.. It's a pity that the tagboard died along with the stuff at the side. There is a comment tab at the end of each post after the date and time. If you happen to be here and feel like commenting, sorry to trouble you with all the pop ups..

With that, happy mugging to all...

My same old phrase: TAKE CARE, REST WELL!

=)

烟火的季节

Alright. I got about 10 mins to spare before i hop back into my bed. Have been sleeping a lot today. Nice blanket to counter the cold weather.

 

Guess most must have heard of it: FIREWORKS DISPLAY AT MARINA BAY!!! It was a rather relaxing Friday evening. Help Zen with his art piece for a while till it started to rain. So the three of us [danz, zen and i] went to seek shelter, where kek had conveniently detoured to, claiming that he had good instinct that it was going to rain. Actually all of us knew that it was about to rain, or rather, it was already raining, only that the rain was going to get heavier. Now that we were in the middle of no where, and i dont feel like mugging, suggested that we kap 2 guitars from guitar room and we did. So me and danz were playing it at the staircase [dont know how to describe that place].

Danz provided the music and i contributed the noise but we did enjoyed ourselves very much. I got to agree that there is some ambience there making such stuff enjoyable. The fast paced kek wasnt enjoying the slacking as the two of us, constantly complaining that we should chiong to marina bay, yet we were two persistent worms which continued to wriggle around the place. Ah yea. thanks ivy, yokesan and amelia for carrying my stuff out from the container clz room and ester, grace and one more junior [short term memo cannot recall] for waiting for us to return the guitars.

 

Just as we were to leave, we met the clique members who planned to go enjoy the fireworks too. With impatient kek, who swore not to mix with the rate determining us, we eventually split and meet and then split again. split as we left for the bus stop, meet at the bus stop and semi split there and eventually split completely upon reaching marina bay. Us guys were making singing our lungs our at the back of 111. Hope we didnt make much of a din.

 

Packet our dinner at BK and left for esplanade after being convinced that there is no place for us at the food republic. Constantly caught in a dilemma whether to stay or to move, i am really glad that we are fortunate enough to secure a great place. There was this picky indian man whom i thought was rather anti-climax. Junjie knocked into him accidentally and he corroded us with sarcasms. Firstly, it was totally unintentional and secondly, we apologised. >.< I guess it must be due to the long wait ba and he got impatient? Shrugs. I really despise those smokers though. I seriously hope that they can try to be more considerate and leave smoking to a later time sia.

 

927pm. The magic began. Totally breathe-taking. I dont think even a video can fully describe that feeling. It totally absorbed me. I dont know how to elaborate. If you want to feel it, there is still tomorrow. Aye.

 

Time to sleep.

 

Looking forward to danz' video....

后视镜里的世界

Tired. Well, not something unique. Just reach home after fetching sis whose lesson ended at 7 plus going 8. Tired as i am, i find myself unable to sleep whenever i am seated beside the driver. Name it as some sense of responsibility; feel that sleeping beside the driver may make the driver sleepy too, yea.. so usually dont sleep when sitting in front..

 

*****

ah crap.. vista service pack update took up so much of my time.. shall go sleep now.. aye.. since no one check this place, i shall repost this later.. =)

nitez world!!

yea.. making back entries are really hard considering the lost in that "current" feel. So staying awake and staring out of the window from the front site is really thought provoking. Usually i will suggest that we open the window cuz i like the wind. But then, since the highway was plagued with large vehicles and buses from Malaysia which puke black fumes, we turn on the air-condition instead. Due to internal refraction, you then to be able to see certain part of you reflected on the side window. Alright. So it is not exactly 后视镜 but the idea is there lo. 3 angles of views: one from your eyes, one from the left side-mirror and one from the refraction. Aye. Many angles of views. The same applies for life too huh? Yet we then to see only from what we immediately see. [too bad there isnt a term for a higher level of seeing (e.g. : hear vs listen), observe sounds wrong here]

 

So while we advance with faster pace of life, we accelerate in the direction we think best benefit us. Yet have we notice if we are leaving anything behind? Perhaps limiting the scope to something nearer to me, while us youth continue in life, mature in our own ways. What do we leave behind in the trade off to pursue something that we think will make us grown ups? Well, there can be lots of stuffs, good or bad. We will have to leave those thumb sucking or nail biting habits in the pass. Yet do we at the same time, while emptying those childish load on our trucks, allow things which falsely make us adults to burden us? Are we ready for it?

 

We sought more freedom. Less control from parents. We want things our way. Hot blooded and constantly striving.Despite quietly in our hearts acknowledging that they meant good, the various curfews and teachings are just strings bounding us to earth and limiting our flight. We want to break free. Some of us succeeded totally, some partially. To a certain extent [i must remember to spell this word correctly], we do gain certain amount to space, no matter how little, as we age. Now looking back, with the various "if i had.." flashing through my mind, things might have been a lot different, and the previously irritating suggestions [though will still sound as irritating if they were to be said again] seem to make more sense then they previously would.

 

Thus we passively distant from our family as our solidifying wings scream to soar. Soar to our ambitions, our cliques, our hobbies and our lifestyle. Looking back, where are those merry times when there will be family outings to the zoo where those little hands will be hidden in those once smooth-skin hands, leading the little childish and undeveloped mind around the enclosures? Now, the once smooth-skin hands were scarred by wrinkles. The once stumpy cute fingers now clasp those once gigantic ones. We have grown while they have aged. Our perspective widen while theirs seem to shrink. We disagree more often and yet we know they will always be our side...

 

I got to say that i have failed to take good care of myself. A problem with a mental will stronger than the physical body. While selfishly thinking i carry the burden of a weak body plagued with various rubbish problems by myself, it is the "kapo" [kay-po] or rather the cant-care-less attitude that stress the parents. Personally, i see no reason for this stress but i guess that's the "mental" link between the child's problems and that of the parents. And more often than not, it goes one way.

 

So while we drink alcoholic drinks or buy 4D when the midnight clock strikes 12 to our birthday, while we stick our tongue into and get a taste of new stuffs such as romance [err.. i havent and dont plan to yet], we should always remember that no matter how much we mature, how much we morph and get adult-like, our bodies are not ours alone [despite conveniently assuming so most of the time]. This brings back Mr Sng's quote on morning's talk about discipline: for every freedom granted, it's attached with responsibility. Thus while we are granted with more freedom to do what we like [going out till the late night, burning midnight oil to mug, binge junk food], we have the responsibility to take good care of ourselves, both emotionally and physically.

 

wow, having said or typed rather so much. Time to dive back into the pile of homework. Shall pray hard that rain stop so can bring family to watch fireworks.. Shall post the post when i am free. =)

 

Yea. All in all, TAKE GOOD CARE OF OURSELVES and reflect on the things we are leaving behind as we pursuit our ideals. =)

 

 

MUG ON!!!

 

 

 

*现在说会不会太迟
你会不会笑我还是多像孩子~

value time.. both pass and present..

despite thinking over this issues frequently, i dont think i mention anything like this here huh? Well, perhaps i did but never mind, shall do it again [if i did].

 

******
on the side note, i dont think many people, if any will be visiting this site so i decided make posting something here as some form of bedtime activity... since the doc ask me not to do anything taxing to the mind before i sleep. This is not too taxing i suppose.. HAHA..

******

 

Well, this topic resurfaced when i was mugging with XinZi after school, or rather, after GP paper 2. I guess most of us would have thought through this same issue many times, especially at times when we feel that we could have do something better if we have a 2nd chance. But sadly, we do not have such a luxury. And even if we were given a second chance, it doesnt erase the fact that we had used up the first. Thus it does seem ideal to turn back the clock and do the necessary changes huh? Yet personally, i do not think that the issue is as simple as that of drawing with pencil and eraser; erase the errors and redraw..

 

I see the past as necessary. We need the pass experience to learn and finally come to a conclusion [whether immediate or after some thought] that this way of handling the issue is apt or not. If not, how then do we come to regret what we have done or what we have chose to do? So does going back to the past and altering it means losing that valuable lesson learnt? If it's so, then i think the trade off is not worth it. More often than not, we tend to insist on our own ways till the result is felt and only then do we learn to regret. Seems like "feeling is believing" huh?

 

OK! The drug is getting the better of me now. Guess i got lots of sweeping statements in the above argument but at least i am quite sure my stand is clear. Hence value time, past, present and even, future. Treasure the memories of the past, the mundane routine of the present and emo about the supposing ideal future..  All in all, be forward looking and move on, disturb not but be comforted that you have the debris of the pass mistakes to cushion your next fall. Let's not be caught by how i should have better done it or rather how can i better get it done the next time.

 

yupz! the ability to manipulate time.? Cool! But simply too complex and dangerous for individuals to handle.. well, for me at least. looking back, imagine like if you step out of school later than usual, the people you meet will change accordingly.. in fact, everything changed.. Guess that's the little fun we get in life huh?

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

 

Time trial for chem students tomorrow!!! 加油！Ah.. about 3 more weeks to prelims.. NONO!! i am not exactly confident yet. >.<

 

alright.. to  crawl back into my bed.. perhaps ligands will be tonight's dream topic?  Quite interesting.. I hope =)

complexity

yea.. a splinter in my mind . Have been thinking of many issues after being prompted by GP, these thoughts usually just stay as thoughts. Overwhelming of homework sure make appearing offline much more difficult than being really offline [as in not signed in].. Having looked high and low, seem like the Internet is still the best place to air such random thoughts to a random group of people who is lame or bored enough to find the way here..

 

yes yes.. life is indeed highly complex. Any gp student, in other words, all JC student are aware of the highly complex intertwining network of terms such as politics, technology, economics, education, social concerns. I thought that the reaction is kinda explosive. As the gaze follow down the question, for example: should politics [big bang one] ever mix with religion [BOOM!!].. alright, was thinking in a more animated version and the random question that i came up with should not appear in A levels ba.. I hope..

 

shall save those mind churning stuffs to the subsequent time. seem like the drug is taking effect.. kinda groggy now.. the thought of GOOD QUALITY SLEEP really excites me.. excited to know if that half a pill can grant me the wonderful rest i have been longing for.

 

Stress.. what a convenient word to answer every student related illness... but having frequent mind juicing headache seriously seriously *curse*...

 

OH! that roy who was desperate to blog is not me lo.. and i know the culpritS who did that [right in front of my face too..]

 

thanks for all supporters to help clear the cobweb.. now that my com is functional with windows live writer, i guess i will post more stuffs soon..

 

=) 加油 everyone!!!
