How should I start todays post... mmm. Let's see.Basically, I'm hella relieved we get a break from CO. Gives me time to do homework in the AFTERNOON. Yes, I like doing work in the afternoon. Night time is reserved for R&R. Granted, it's not going to stay like that for long, but might as well revel in it while I still can.
Finished up my A maths homework. (Yes, I did it under my shi fu's watchful eye.) I still hate drawing, so I'm going to grab the teacher and get him to re-teach the whole chapter to me. Him being such a nice guy should be willing to do so =D!.
Oh, before I forget.. I have an English teacher who makes grammatical errors (often) and asks me about the meaning of words I use. This same guy rouses me when I sleep in his class and grades my papers. I'm amused, to say the least.
That's about it I guess. I'm really hoping the concert'll work out. Tomorrow's gonna be a long day, what with me working out the last remaining kinks in the songs.

I am so tired. Really, this CO shiznit is burning me out.. kinda like overloading an electrical socket. It works for a bit, then you see hear fizzy noises followed by sparks. Boom.Today, we wrote reflections for the term. All I could recall were CO practices. I'm not trying to say it isn't worth it. I can comprehend the need for practices. It's the gravity of the situation. Concert's around the corner, people are still not showing up. Heck, 5 days left.
We did pull a half-miracle though. Mostly okay with the new song.. percussion's in a mess though. No idea what they're doing there. Least we got our roles down to perfect T. Thank god (I am my own God. So shhh.) Yi Heng managed to make it for practice. NOt much time left. Stress mode on v_V. Even after the concert, there's the SYF. ROAR. I'm guessing we have to maintain the tempo and keep going. Halp meh.
Oh yeah, and please please get tickets from me. See, we're practicing so hard so you people will have a good time. Please show support =\

I haven't blogged for ages, I know. It's just that the days are so monotonous. School in morning, CO till evening. Get home, rest, maybe read some stuff then it's beddy byebye.I failed my chem test. Big woop. I failed the mock SPA exam. Yay. I failed the Perm + Comb test. Hurrah.
That's alright. I mean, I've never been good at math related stuff. Maybe it's time I accept it and move on.. you know, grab some clerk job for life. It's nothing glamorous, but it ain't difficult to just remain that way till ya die.
Concert's looming like an ominous shadow. We were thrown a 6 page score on Tuesday and expected to perform a miracle. It's no easy song either. To rub sulphur into it, our teacher has to run to China for some.. well, errands.
There's the issue of tickets too. Sales haven't been going well. Then again, how could it? Tickets were issued on Thursday. Again, a miracle is expected of us. Fill 900 seats in one week? Where's Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston when you need them?
"There can be miracles when you believe.."
Yeah. Right.

Today, lets talk about exercise.I am convinced, thoroughly, that I'm overweight.It's okay, I knew that a long time ago. The crux of the problem I have is dealing with it.
See, studying is easy. Pay attention in class, do homework, revise the day's work. Done. Extra preparation for when major exams draw close. Have the hunger and desire to score well. Well done. It's the success formula for the top students.
I can't say the same for exercise. Unlike studying, it leaves me drained and in pain. I HATE the feeling of fatigue. I HATE having aching muscles or an aching body. I HATE having feet that kill me.
Every time I decide "Hey it's time to do something about my weight." either of the problems (or new ones) surface. It just hurts. So much.
I wish it were true, honestly, about how exercise makes you feel "better" how you can sleep "better" at night. Bullshit. If anything, I go to bed in misery. Quivering legs, hands whatever. I wake up then next morning in pain. Yes I'll feel better alright, provided someone modified my brain and made me a masochist.
What do I need? Help. Just someone who can tell me why my journey is, if it can be likened to mountain climbing, a ninety degree slope with no foot or hand holds. People tell me I have everything. Screw off, seriously. I'd trade... what do I have to trade that people want? Other than material things, because honestly, your parents can get you those. You won't want to trade parents.
Fuck this.

Yay. I got my copy of The Burning Crusade. I'm not exhilarated or anything like that. Brightened up my day a little.The main meat of today lies in Sakae Sushi Parkway. LOLOLOLOL.
So Melvin, MC and I skipped recess and lunch today. After school (which consisted of me giving the teacher an idea of how sick people feel. Aka unable to do work.) we ran off to Parkway and sat down at Sakae for the sushi buffet to celebrate Bagero's birthday for the third time.
Target: 80 plates.
Okay, fine. We didn't really reach the target, nor did we get close. End result was about 60 plates and it was my fault. See, we were stuffing ourselves silly. So much so that none of us could really tell if we were full or not. Too much food was going down at an amazing rate. Side dishes came in a flurry, anything that had Unagi on it was snatched away. The sushi conveyor belt was devoid of the good sushi. None of them made it past our table.
Then I said this "Later eat until vomit, then bu hua suan. (not worth it)" Now, that tickled Bagero's funny bone. Long and hard. He burst out laughing, with me trying to shush him. Heads turned. Laughter stifled in vain. MC saw the both of us laughing and started smiling. Soon enough, the three of us were emating "pssshhhh mmfffft" type of sounds.
Melvin asked "What the heck? Ian what did you say? Why you all laughing?"
I clamped my hand on my mouth, trying to calm myself down. I succeeded. For one second. One word emerged from my mouth, then another generous serving of "AH HAHAHA mfffffffft.."
20 seconds later, I tried again. Now four mad men sat on the table. More heads turned. Heck, the girl opposite probably thought we were laughing at her.
"NEVERMIND. VOMIT LIAO COME BACK EAT SOME MORE. WAH HAHAHA" said Bagero.
More hissy fits.
Then we went to Suntec, had a roundabout quite a few times. I redeemed my copy, then we found out you couldn't just buy the expansion alone unless you had that pre-order card. Should have seen the look on Mel's face. FUNNY.
Went to Court's to see if we could get the card the redeem it. Looks like Asiasoft still maintained some semblance of intelligence. Stupid marketing gimmicks. So, Pigeon withdrew some cash and bought the gamecard + expansion combo.
Made one big round around Suntec, because we were lost and couldn't find the way to the bus stop. Heck, we looked more lost than the group of tourists roaming around to find something, anything that looked as if it could provide information.
I'm tired, but happy. Today was a good day.

Ever got invited into a zerg conversation? Where people are invited at random? I decided I could use more friends. Plus there were my juniors in it. Fine. I'll play along.Bad idea.
I got insulted from all 3 sides. 2 juniors, Wee Bian and Wai Hong, plus an extremely catty sec 1 girl, who's apparently trying to create an impression on Wee Bian. Gosh. Not like I said anything. I said hi then the flames came in from all directions, be it fat, ugly, (v_V) desperate.
Well, I don't really mind. I mean, juniors tend to behave like that infront of their seniors. I admit, I was once like that, though my words were A LOT more subtle.
For those who want the scoop, drop me a message on MSN. Ian-style drama.

Yesterday was a good day. Best day of the year. Happy Birthday Bagero. I'll get you a present soon. Broke at the moment.I was late, since I overslept and missed CO and thus could not follow them to Parkway. Ate a meal at Yoshinoya then we happened to bump into Lyn. (Not literally.. or she'd have been bowled over =X. please don't kill me.) Went to the arcade. Yay. Spent money like water. Well, we all had fun. I wanna learn how to play Daytona sometime. Looks mildly amusing.
Hopped over to Roxy for a drink. Cheap and sweet. Perfect for teenagers. Pity it's in a crappy location.
Today. Now today was.. mixed. Again. As per normal, family outing. Pre-ordered my copy of TBC, but none of the other WoW players were contactable. I tried. Your fault. Too bad.
Bought a book on how to converse/leave a good impression. Loser? Nah. A lot of it has merit. Those who shun it do so at their own loss. I for one appreciate the improvement of life skills.
Then a DotA game pissed me off. Wow, I thought I was better than that. More to work on. Oh, and you know how one thing sparks another off? I just remembered my D diao Dizi is missing. How the fuck am I supposed to perform? Wayne doesn't even seem to make an effort to look for it. I don't want to buy a new one.
Sometimes, things just feel so damn screwed. Shit this. Feel better after typing it out. Peace out.
12:43 am
Tired. Blog tomorrow.

Today is a mixed day!First the shit happened. I did my English homework. I swear. But I left it at home! Big woop. So what did Mr chong do? Sent us out of the class, tables and chairs included. Asshole.
Second. I went for CO (yay.) then realized I was severely out of practice. After like 2 tries on the concert piece my head was throbbing really really badly. It's like someone was trying to flatten the back of my skull while pounding on it with a sledgehammer. So I decided to take a nap. I was rewarded with... wait for it.. a migraine.
Then during briefing, Ser Yang shouted at us. No, he wasn't wrong to do so, not at all. In fact, his words had merit. It sorta sent a shiver down my spine and froze me to the spot. Yeah, so true. To the bastards who still think otherwise, wait till I get my hands and mouth on you.
Finally, it rained cats and dogs just as I was about to get home. Father Rain got emo again. Something to do with Mother Monsoon breaking up with him. Either way, no one offered him a tissue this time, so MC and I gritted our teeth and went our separate ways, each knowing the wet wet path that lied ahead.
Okay, here's the only decent thing that happened all bloody depressing day. As I smashed the traffic light button, a complete stranger offered me her umbrella. I swear someone swung a mace right into my face. Stranger. Umbrella? What? SINGAPORE?
Yes folks. A Singaporean offered to share her umbrella. You know what? Maybe she ain't local. She said she was currently renting a place in the area, so probably not local at all. Oh yeah, and I realized my right ear piece is busted. Plays so bloody soft.
I'm tired.

I've been toooo busy the past few days. When I get home, it's nappy time, some sleep, slack off on MSN and hope to get some people to talk to me, because playing a game really doesn't cut it anymore. When I think of blogging, I think much typing and recounting.Ah well. I'll keep it short then.
Been trying my best to catch up with daily work. I'm back on track with CO (playing old songs helped..) probably because there really aren't many other places to go to after school.
I officially hate my specs and wish I had a pair of contacts. Or better looking specs. I've been told I look better without.
Oh, and I thought I'd never say this, but I actually don't mind My Chemical Romance now. Heck, I've listened to The Sharpest Lives 5 times in a row. It's actually nice.
And no, it's not the "noisy bang bang scream scream" type of music. I like the fact that their albums tell stories, unlike OMG LOL JOLIN TSAI LOOKIT ME DANCING DIVA LOLOLOL. Ok, that was a bit over-doing it. Then there's Rainie, who somehow charmed countless of guys with her sire.. I mean banshee song.
I'm tired.

Wow I'm pooped.Brian was too crapped up to pre-order TBC yesterday. There goes TBC + outing with Nigel (delayed for 2 weeks now.)
Nothing much more on Saturday.
As for today.. I slept to the max. Heh. No one likes waking up at 6am. My way of making things up for myself. Sleep is gooooood.
Then we went to Parkway for Sakae Sushi as usual. Aiyah, I can never understand how my dad never gets boerd of the food there. The food still seems and tastes the same despite new additions to the menu.
It is unwritten in the birth contract that older siblings must take care of their younger ones. Not wanting to disappoint or heap unnecessary burden on mummy, I agreed to take my youngest sis to the arcade.
OMG MAN. From basement to the ssecond highest floor via escalator. We walked around the arcade for 10 minutes, doing nothing. (We were watching people hammer the.. hammer thingy.) Then she played ONE. ONE. ONE. game before saying she had enough. Then she wanted to go to the toilet.
Now, I'm not a little children person. I'm just not very good with them. Almost walked into the ladies while holding my sister's hand. She actually had to tell me "STOP!" and hold to hands out. God.
Met up with MC. Burned gigantic hole in wallet. Well, both of us did. Mine's just paid in installments.
Dropped by his house to do a math question I had problem with. Went home. Talked to a long lost friend for a while.. I think I offended her by accident v_V. Logged right off when I asked for her height. (someone asked...)
If you're reading this, sorry >.<''

Yay. I'm back at school. I'm not being sarcastic at all, I swear. I mean it this time. It's good to be back, despite the shithole that lies ahead. At least wading knee-deep through that shit is better than rotting at home.So today was the pits. Shit, it's a bloody miracle I survived.
Some call me pessimistic, but I'm really just a realist. (Pun not intended.)
School wasn't so bad. Some of our teachers were changed, but not that I'm complaining. The changes seem half-decent so far. A new geography teacher, form teacher ,(who happens to be our English teacher.) maths teacher and a permanent Madam Tang. God I hate that woman to the core. She can be pulverized into bits, incinerated to ash before being ingested, breathed in by a dozen animals and I will STILL recognize her. More on her tomorrow.
So anyway, I got caught for my hair and made my way to Roxy after school. I'm never going back to that damn salon. NO.
For starters, though the stylist was a nice chap, he literally cut my hair by the millimeter. I sat on the damn chair until my ass went numb. When it was finally over, he even taught me how to cut my frinch. (SP?)
Fine, I can deal. End result wasn't spectacular, but hey, seven bucks. You reap what you sow. Here's why I'll never go back. My hair went FUCKING dry. Pardon the language. Shit, I was aghast when I ran my hand through my hair. Split ends galore. My hair was so coarse it was shocking. Must have been the shampoo. Either way, I'm not going back there.
Went to MC's place and slacked around. There were like 6 other friends there and they mahjong'ed. 5pm. 6pm. 7pm. 8pm. It didn't seem it would ever end. God, we need to get home. The flash showers made things a hell lot more bearable. How so? Heh. Everytime the rain stopped, and the few of us wanted to get home, we get "EH ONE MORE GAME. EH THREE MORE GAMES. VERY FAST ONE!"
Bull fucking shit.
By the time I got out, Father Rain decided to get more emo and cried us an ocean. Bobby might have sprinted ahead of us, god knows why he was in such a rush. I turned around and the 3 people following me disappeared into a cab. Wow, so I'm stuck alone, with not a very clear idea of where to go and a rapidly more emo Father Rain.
Shit, I'm lucky I bought a phone and had bobby's number. Rang him up and he directed me to the bus stop. I owe you one buddy. We bought some horrid-tasting, severely over-priced chicken puff and shared a drunk.
Bus took ages to arrive. I hate you SBS. It was still pouring, but I think I was blessed or something. When I alighted 10 minutes later someone handed Father Rain a tissue, to tell him that life was quite beautiful after all.
On a brighter note, I'm almost done with Toxic Bachelors by Danielle Steel. More on it tomorrow. I realized one thing though. Throughout the book, the women were described as knock outs. I saw a rather young woman today wearing little to no make up, a denim skirt and fitting white blouse. Sometimes simple and casual is good. She wasn't stunning, but it fit her to a T and I personally thought she was rather pretty in that get up. Out of place, but just a mental note I made as there was another woman who streaked her hair with blue dye.
Better get some revision done. Ta.
