"This we know - Earth does not belong to man: Man belongs to Earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a Strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." - Chief Seattle, year 1862.

Tuesday:

Can't remember much le...

Wednesday:

Bryan Hoon Pwn'd Benjamin Tong with a kick to the ass!
1-0
Was a nice flying+spinning kick.
And it was just a friendly match.

Stayed back with a few others for Chinese oral.
While waiting, played Ying Hern's PSP, to help him kill something in Monster hunter
Thought I would do badly for My orals, because i didn't prepare or whatever.
I think I did well, cause I had alot to talk about during Conversation, about stress.
For the reading, well... not so great. Had lots of words I don't recognise.

Heres the question asked by Mr Lee Song Nian :
*Translated in english*
Mr. Lee: Whats the subject gives you the most stress?
My answer - Maths and Science
Reason : Although My Chinese is really poor, I felt that my Maths and Science gave me the most stress (Not at all actually)
because Primary School maths & science is totally different from Secondary School maths & science.
Whats more is that there are alot of high scoring students in my class for both subject, thus I felt pressurized because I usually get the feeling of competition.

Mr. Lee: Recently theres a few china students who committed suicide due to too much pressure. What do you think about having too much stress?
My Answer: (Learned it from my tuition teacher) If we do not have any stress at all, we will be like a flattened ball, unable to move. If we have too much stress, we will be like balloons which burst.

This is what Mr Lee thinks:

- I have improved greatly since sec 1
- He likes that phrase
- Hes surprised when I say Maths & Science was the subject which gave the most stress, instead of Chinese

YES!!!!

Thursday:

ZZzzzz.... I really ain't good at remembering what usually happened...

Friday:

Great day today.
Thanks to Yu Jin for telling me the wrong info = = wasted my time writing the wrong letter.

Javiel told me to go to the Heart of God Church.
Still considering if I really wanna go to any church.
And I don't know which to choose.
Alistair also told me to go to his church.

Stayed back for awhile today.
Came out from the Main Gate, and a Primary school Maris stella boy from the bus, stick out his middle finger at Bryan Hoon.
They were going to Zhi Xin's house to study.

I went to the bus stop instead of following them.
And... you guys remember the teacher who pumped the whole class because I wasn't paying attention to his nonsensical ranting?
I met him there.

Also, I caught a Really fat Maris stella kid trying to steal some tibbits from the shop.
I don't know wth is his motive, mumbling to himself when he was caught.
I did stopped him for the shop owner
Thereafter, he asked me with his high-pitched voice:
"Can I borrow 55 cents from you?"
I was hesitant because I've given bus fares to many upper sec St. Gabriel students.
I made up my mind, and gave him, without expecting any returns from him.
Anyways, it doesn't matter whether he cheats or not.

At 7:30 pm,

Went for tuition.
Topic :
Discriminating which is a good or a bad conclusion for an essay.
Had fun penning down one alright.
I copied a part from the passage.
Jotted it down onto my paper and this is what it says:

"Unless man acknowledge the importance of sustaining the Earth's biodiversity to maintain the delicate interdependencies that link Flora and Fauna, life on Earth as we know it could cease to exist (I copied this sentence).
Chief Seattle, a North-American Indian, once said this :"We all know that man is just a strand in the web of life, whatever he does to the web, he does to himself (This is from the Geography textbook. I did not copy it properly thus it sounds strange)" We must be vigilant in preserving the environment, for there is still hope."

My teacher, Mrs De, said it in a really hilarious way.
Halfway through reading my "copied" sentence...

"Hmmm.... This sounds familiar..."

*The whole class laughed*

"Looks like someone has many girlfriends because Kevin gave the word Flora and Fauna a capital letter"
(I was merely trying to make it 'important' by adding the capital letters)

*The whole class laughed, yet again*

It was quite rare for the class to laugh.

Mrs De : (After reading my incorrect quote...) "Are you sure some North American Indian made this speech? It sounds like you
made it up"

*The Whole class laughed, again and again*

Now everyone calls me Chief Seattle.
I find it funny too.



For my previous essay I wrote, based on the law of the few, and My teacher said it was short but really good.

The question - What are the qualities that you think will make a good leader?

My essay:

A good leader should possess an aura of confidence as it will inspire people who are under him.
A good leader should be encouraging and yet observant, pin-pointing the mistakes his juniors committed, and followed by words of encouragement in a resonant, polite and clear manner of speaking, teaching them how to discriminate what's right and what's wrong.
A leader must have a way of interacting with different kinds of people, as the level of discipline and obedience partly depends on how close the juniors are, to the leader himself.
A good leader is best to have a clear mindset, being committed, purposeful and knowing what he wants to achieve while expecting his followers to do the same.
Last but not least, a good leader ensures that his followers, soon to be potential leaders, go further than the leader himself, physically and mentally, in all the aspects that they were taught.

I learned the last sentence from Scouts.

"I woke up in horror and with cold sweat. The sudden word 'death' struck my mind.
I wondered if it will be the end of all sweet memories I had experienced. I laid back onto my bed, and a sweet dream soothed me.."

Today:

Went to Ion Orchard.
First time there.
And I dislike that place. So Boring. Everything is so expensive.
I don't really like to shop on weekends.

After that, went for tuition.
I think I just went there to get humiliated by others...
I felt so sad today..
That I can't focus in completing my assignment.....

Either I m Over-sensitive or I guessed it right...
...


Saturday :

Felt really sleepy,
So I slept at 5 p.m.
Woke up at 7 p.m. ,
and I couldn't find my glasses (I need it to prevent my eyes from being damaged when using the computer)
until I saw the Garfield near my window, wearing it =.=
Wasted a few minutes of my time wandering around

Friday :

Mr Nigel Ng talked about his experience during Re-service as a Guards.
He said that he had to experience a realistic battlefield, and he and his platoon had to dodge real bullets.
At night, the bullets had to be painted so as to give a lighting effect, and it could be seen flying past.
Michael made fun of it : "Sperms! sperms sperms flying past!"
Nigel Ng then gave him an earful.
Mr Ng also said he had to carry a laser gun weighing 5kg, his backpack weighing about 10kg, and fight a battlefield, using laser guns in a natural environment.
Sounds fun, but not the fact that you had to walk at least 6km.

Had tuition at 7 p.m.
My Topic for it was : What qualities do you think a good leader should possess?
Based on the Law of the Few, whereby a single, sociable person could carry a message of the impending British invasion of Boston to a large area in a short time.

Reached home at 9:30 p.m.
I started drawing my incomplete helmet and was done at around 12 p.m.


Too lazy to draw the anti-drug art competition poster card in School,
especially when your only given 1-day of time. sian.

Thursday :

Normal School day

Free period during MT lesson. I hate the first relief teacher that entered. So Unreasonable and act fierce.
The second relief teacher that entered was great! Once a student from St. Gabriel's too.
Hes very tall. Wei Le and a few others keep asking him what he ate.
When I wasn't doing my Chinese homework,
The first relief teacher said this "Since you don't cherish this paper, should I tear it for you?"
I kept quiet.
The second relief teacher said this "Please kindly start on your Chinese homework" *With a smile*
Not only that, he even gave me suggestions, telling me and a few others of his experience as a student.
He also stated that Chinese was his worse and least interested subject, but it was as important as any other subject.

Two is better than One Lyrics


Lyrics | Boys Like Girls lyrics - Two Is Better Than One lyrics




Boys Like Girls - Two Is Better Than One lyrics

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey
You know.. this could be something
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

'Cause maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two, is better than one

I remember every look upon your face,
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everythings okay
And finally now, we're leaving

And maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two, is better than one

Yeah, yeah

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey

Maybe it's true, that I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking

Oooh I can't live without you
'Cause baby two is better than one
There's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And I've figured out with all that's said and done
Two, is better than one

Two is better than one

Epic Fail

"Yo Taylor, I- I m really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Beyonce has the best music video of all times... one of the best music video of all time!" - Kanye West, on MTV VMA 2009

Over the internet... : " !@#$ YOU KANYE, YOU JUST STEPPED ON A KITTEN!" - Katy Perry

Kanye said he wanted to apologize, but he really didn't mean it =)
This incident will go by easily, so lets not brood about it for long.
You just gotta know whos a good singer and whos not.
Different people have their own opinions.

Today...
Raymond Ng threw my paper to the ground infront of the class.
Yeah, I did get mad alright, but I didn't show it.
When the whole immature class still continued to laugh at the paper which I gave only one answer,
I shouted angrily at the people who laughed at me.

Now I m trying to sleep early every night,
as I've broke off from computer games.
Thanks to my friends for their useful advice!

Medical Attention!

Wrap, Tie, and its all done!

Basic Adult First Aid Course @ St. John Brigade.
(Beach road)From 8-10 sep.

8th Sep:

Day 1 - 9 am. Our instructor, named Mr. Kok,
Though old and slow,
is well-versed in First aid.
Entering the room,
All of us listened quietly as he begins his lesson.
A muffled, soft voice came out, instead of what we expected.
The class turned rowdy and noisy.

Later through the course, 5-8 sec 1s scouts and a few sec 2s scouts went up to the third floor,
to take a peek at the girl guides, who were also taking their Course.
Immature. Really. They are not aware of the consequence it would bring.

I've uploaded a few photos onto Facebook.

The course ended around 3pm.
I went with PL Jolian and PL Bryan, along with Jian Heng
to the Queen's Scout shop to look at some old, unique scout items, including badges.
Benjamin Sho (sir) was there.

Day 2 - The Patrol Leaders and Benjamin Sho (Sir) were not happy with scouts running up to the third floor to look up for the girl guides
while they were having their lessons. PL Bryan Ong told everyone that if they want to look up for the girl guides,
they are allowed to interact with them ONLY during Lunchtime.

At the end of the course, I saw Zhi Xin falling in with the Assistant patrol leaders.
I didn't care about him then.
Thereafter, the APLs were allowed to take over the rest of the scouts.
Instead of falling in with us, Zhi Xin stood by the APLs and talked like a big shot, giving us orders, as if he was an APL himself.
That kinda angered me somehow.
PL Jolian shut him up and made him fall back in by saying this :"Oi Zhi Xin, You APL is it?"

These are the few stuffs that I hate about Zhi Xin -
1)Show-off (Its fine to be proud, just that he shouldn't cross the line)
2)Attitude Problem (Though its fine to teach the sec 1s to differ whats right and whats wrong, I felt that he should speak in a more gentle, softer and yet in a stern way. Also, he did not treat the other rank-less sec 2s with the kind of respect they need)
3)One bark to silence the scouts is okay. Two barks to silence the scouts is enough. Four or more barks is terribly annoying! X.X
4)He sometimes roll his eyes whenever a sec 1 or 2 suggest to him an advice.

I don't want to continue any further

Day 3 - I studied for the First Aid test with Darren Ong.
All the stuffs which I studied for did not appear in the theory test = =

I suggested to Mr. Kok if he would allow our lunch break to be at 12:30pm. (So it would allow the sec 1s a chance to interact with the girl guides, since the girl guide's lunch break was 12:30, and the sec 1 scouts are a little desperate >.> )
Mr. Kok was kind and he gave a lunch break from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm.

After eating at Pizza hut, I followed PL Zi Wei and PL Bryan around that area.
They bought an Eclipse candy, and wanted me to share it with the rest of the scouts. Kind of them, right? haha.

Took the Practical test at 4 pm. Was effing nervous that I forgot the method to make an Arm Sling with the bandage.

Left with a few more homework to be done.
The course took up most of my time for studying.

Requiem

I've hid myself, in darkness.
Isolation, is but necessary in my change.
I've found my weakness and points which I could improve on.
And I must be determined to change it.
Or face Failure.

Knowledge is a sweet thing when it open up new paths to traverse.

As Cold, Harsh, Silent, and yet peaceful as the season of Winter,
Whereby autumn leaves falls to the ground, and the land sleeps.
It sleeps to brace for the upcoming harshness.
But all is silent when the time comes,
And when Winter is over,
Trees reform, growing new leaves, Stronger, Tougher, Imbued with Nature's blessing.

It will surge with life, Joy, Tranquility, Confidence, Refreshed.

And...
All those who once ignored it, will see its true colours.
That, I would vow for.
- Kevin

The above passage I've written, signifies what went wrong before.
It means that I've taken so many things for granted, Good ones.
Yet, I did not maintain it.
Yet, I did not protect it.
Thus, It died.

It also means that I will change myself for the better.
No one will truely know what I meant.
You shall see a different side of me in the future,
Neither 2 years later nor one day later, but somewhere in the middle, or even earlier.
Who knows? Afterall,
New perspective are un-predictable.

And hope you like the new blogskin which I finally bothered to change.
Some New songs too.

Gotta go for tuition, will write about my experience in my Scout's First Aid Course at night.
Bye!

Yowch xD

Pfft... Today,
I had to visit the Dentist as my tooth hurt.
Arrived at 11:15 am.
Did some check up, and the dentist said that my tooth has been really badly decayed due to
some circumstances in which the decaying process accelerated. The decay had been so bad that it had touched
my nerves, and if left unchecked, it will swell.
The dentist cleaned my decay, and patched it up.
She also had to do some kind of root canal treatment, which is to...
REMOVE my NERVE in that one teeth!
At first, I was like... What the hell...
I braced myself for it, but before that, I went for lunch.
At 3:30 pm, The treatment begins.
Also, I had to be scanned by X-rays.
I m exposed to an amount of radiation...
Fortunately, the dentist is gonna numb first =D
Drilled a hole in my tooth, and somehow, she manage to remove the nerve around there.

Sunday - 6th sep :

Bought some World of Warcraft books and Starcraft manga from Kinokuniya at Takashimaya!
Cost over $100 though...

Went for Science tuition at 3:30 pm.
After the tuition, I went to 7-eleven, but I did not bring along my wallet.
Came out, and start heading back home by running.
While running, a girl whom i dont know, suddenly look at me, and curl up her fingers to her chin, saying : "So Cute!"
I don't know why, but that has been happening to me since Wednesday, 2nd sep...


Saturday - 5th sep :

ZZZZZZzzzz....
Should have gone for Scout cycling expedition instead of the Helping hand thingy..
bah...

If any 2E5 is reading this, please don't tell Ryan Peh that the 3 girls whom are our guide said this about him:
His shoes are nice, but hes plump
LOL.
I don't wanna say out about the other words that the girls said.

Friday - 4th sep :

Scout was fun.
The secondary 2s had to go to AMK hub for map-making.
I thought I was gonna suck in that section.
Instead, I drew a part of the map which is more detailed than some of the Oriental specialist! xD (The map is to be done in 2 teams of 7, thus, we split up our work into groups of 3 each.Both teams are co-operating at that moment as time was running out)

Went for an english tuition on 7:30 pm.

Also, my problem with Raj and 2E3 is settled!
It was actually a misunderstanding,
thats why.


Thursday - 3rd sep :

Forgot, just remembered that I went for the Maths tuition.
The tutor is a good one! He knows how to solve problems almost instaneously AND he tells funny jokes!
He also know about some teen stuffs.


After watching this video,
I wonder why girls seem to have so much fun.









And...
I wanna watch Aliens in the Attic!
2E5, organise something? :P









I love Comedy!

Everything Counts.

~Essence~

You value water when walking in a desert.
You value happy moments when your at a funeral.
You value friendship when friends help you out and cheer you up.
You value peace when your harassed/disturbed.
You value time, when it is running out.
You value your partner, when you find out his capability.
You value your possessions when you know your fortunate.
You value yourself only when you are praised.
You value your life when it is going on the right path.
You value money when your broke.
You value comfort when your on a camping expedition.
You value your eyes once it weakens.
You value the generation you live in after learning History.

You Value everything after Knowledge & Experience.

Why Walk when you can Run?
Why Sail when you can Fly?
Why Shout when you can Speak?
Why Punch when you can Touch?
Why Comment when you can Listen?
Why Scold when you can Encourage?
Why Slack when you can Teach?
Why Give up when you can Earn?
Why Die when you can Live?
Why Reserve when you can Share?
Why Kill when you can Befriend?
Why Lose when you can Win?

The Whys~
