Sighs. Just found out that a friend's father has passed away. Yet another reminder of how fragile life is. Treasure the people around you while they're still around. Make use of the time you have together. Have no regrets.
Im sorry for your loss.

Well, first day of school. Or lessons, for that matter. Generally quite a good day to say the least. Glad to be back with the class, to be surrounded by the stupid jokes once again. The holidays were boring. But then again, the June holidays were never really holidays were they? Haha. Oh well.
Anyway, something funny happened on our way out of school to lunch today. There was this cargo truck parked near the side gate in front of the traffic light, and there were these few men unloading cartons of drinks onto the trollies. Obviously, delivering them to the Temasnack. So the group of us were wondering why the men did not drive into the college to deliver the drink. Bewildered by "The Mystery of the Drinkmen", our conversation went something like this.
Somone: Eh. Why they dont want to drive into school ahh? Sombody: Aiya, must be the OM again lahh. Confirm refused them entry into the school. Hakeym: Must be cause they wearing slippers! Then OM dont allow.
-_-" Okay, after typing it out, it doesnt really seem as funny. Oh well, it was pretty damn funny at the time Hakeym said it. Haha.
Well. Besides this incident during lunch, there were of course many other jokes coming up here and there throughout the long day, until 5.30. Most noticeably, Lance's comment during Ms Cai's GP tutorial. Arguing about whether a half mark out of one could be given for a question in our Current Affairs Compiled Quiz, when the answer was $23,000. His argument?
Lance: Ma'am! Can we have half a mark for putting $15,000? We got the 3 zeros correct lehh.
Erm, once again, not very funny. SIAN. I give up! No more.
Anyway, got back 3 papers today. Quite happy lahh. Aim was not to fail. And I managed to pass those 3 H2 subjects. Well, I think someone up there is looking out for me. But hey, im no moron. This isnt the time for complacency. God is telling me that hard work will always be rewarded. And that is exactly what i'll be putting in. 12 more weeks to Promos. And its do or die. I can rest during the 2 months after Promos, now's not the time.

Had alot to blog about originally, had them all up there in my mind. But find as I may, I just cant seem to get back in touch with that blogging mood.
Anyway, June Common Tests are over. I still think im screwed. Dang. Oh well, its time to enjoy the weekend before the executions begin on Monday.
I dont know why, but all that head bobbing coupled with that funky music just makes you wanna.. do something.

Damned proud of myself today! Well, mainly due to countless egoistic reasons which I'd rather keep to myself. BUT hey, there were also the following 2 reasons. Haha.
Went to study with fishh again today! From 10 - 12, and then 1 - 5! And I managed to make myself actually sit down in one place and study non-stop! Well, generally speaking at least. Haha. But the point here was not that I studied, it was WHAT I studied! Econs! Super amazed that I was actually able to force myself to read through the entire Econs syllabus! Which was extremely torturous, might I add.
On the MRT home from Tampines, I did something I would normally do. I gave up my seat for the elderly. But only this time, I managed to influence a few other people to do it with me! Haha. Damned funny, it was. The train was at Tanah Merah when a few old people boarded. I was listening to music and staring at my phone at the time, so I wasnt aware. But when I lifted my head, I was greeted by an entire row of people staring at the floor. I was pretty amused! That was when I looked further up and realised that they were doing it to avoid looking at the few old dudes! Then I quickly took my bag and stood up to give up my seat to the one standing nearest to me. I think a few other people were damn paiseh when I did that, so they followed suit. I was damn proud can! I think there was a heavenly glow radiating from my face or something. Hahaha. THEN I think I looked like a jerk when I started laughing to myself after that. -_-"

No mood to blog, but plenty of it to study! Weird, this feeling is. But bad, it is not. Hahahaha.
Hmm. YuXian's in a hyper mood now. I wonder why. Haha.
Well anyway, went out with her and Gorden to study today. Spent a good 5 hours studying. Haha.
Then went to watch Kung FuPanda there after. Great show. Got to say it, as not many animated movies can make me walk out of the theatre smiling. Haha.
Tomorrow will be an even more productive day! I hope. Haha.
Notice how Im typing in short, unrelated sentences which end with a "Haha"?
They're not very logical are they? Want to know why? Cause Im not logical! Hahahahaha. See?

Hmm. Im not even sure he can have it all sorted out in one session. And hey, why is it that everything thats right is wrong?

Went to Elias Mall to study with Ms Poh today. Erm, okay gross. The name Ms Poh reminds me of that hairy armpit Math relief teacher I had back in Victoria. Okay anyway, I have to say, it wasnt really that productive. Haha. Although Ms Poh says what she did today was more than what she had done for the past 2 weeks. Lol.
Anyway, I brought alot of things with me in my bag today, many of which I did not use. Haha. And apparently being so bulky, it looked like I could hide a bomb inside my bag. Hmm. Or at least thats what the Security Personel thought, when she stopped me the moment I crossed the gantry. Just the right moment though. I was debating whether to open the bag to take out my earphones or not. And she pulled me over right after I decided on the latter. Thanks!
When I peeled open the noisy cover flap of my bag, her faced showed a little sign of shock when she realised the bomb which she thought was hidden inside my bag was actually books. Could almost swear that she would have been less shocked had it been a bomb. Hmm. Anyway, the moment she finished checking the bag, she looked at me with the "Thank You For Your Kind Co-operation" look and said that I could go. Then at that moment, I remembered my earphones and started rummaging through my bag for them. She stared at me throughtout the entire duration of the search im sure, and probably with a questioning look. Haha. Should have said "I knew you wouldnt find it. Here, let me show you where it is." Lol.
Hmm. Then she would probably have wheeled out her taser or whatever weapon she had with her. Then pointing the thing at my head she would shout "Drop it! NO NO! Leave it there! Dont touch it!", while proceeding to hit the secret button located under the counter or something. Then the entire station would be flooded with blinking red floodlights and sirens. And the place would lock down and The Special Ops would burst out through the toilet doors, eventually zeroing all their laser guided weapons on my head while freezing in whatever formation they had rehearsed prior. Then I would say "Kidding." And the Security Personel would keep away the taser or whatever, and proceed to hit another button. Thereafter, the lights and sirens stop. The Special Ops guys also proceed to sprint back to the toilet. And all other commuters who were freezing at first proceed about their intended business and everything returns to normal. The Security Personel then says "You may go."
Hey, Im just saying, you'll never know. (: Though on second thought, it sounds like something which would happen on Just For Laughs. Haha.

Its time, to be spontaneous. Its time, to be happy. Its time, to let your heart take you where it wants to.
Its definitely time, to do all that before school drags you right back down to hell again.

穿上你的鞋子 人們跟我這麼說
可是過兩三年後 又變成 你很自由
我該如何解釋 每個季節的迷信
這是種很勉強的 過渡分析
到底自由和赤腳有什麼關係

When did we need excuse to do what we do 人家不必懂
因為沒有什麼好懂
That’s right 可以偷去 看場電影
Climb out my window in the middle of the night
等全世界都睡了 我們要亂跳舞 不需要理由
聽起來是不是不錯
你打赤腳是否 有特別的意思
大家都期盼著一個 感動人的隨性
我突然感覺委屈 為何他們騙自己
我的個性真只是 如此的無趣
最後大家把我慢慢的忘記
因為有人決定 脫衣抗議 但我不在意
