quote of the day: women should put their family first

chinese lessons. the most useless but fun lesson of all. and now i have to argue the above mentioned motion. in chinese. in chinese. in chinese! and we are for the above motion. its funny course the group that is opposing us is a group of 3 gals. so its like guys vs gals for an extremely sexist motion. and the basis of our arguement is like totally sexist, but true to a certain extent. aha i should just go and support my statements with lots of statistics. woo.

and another syf. it seems so anticlimatic, that all we've worked for in the past year has just ended in a matter of 8 minutes. all the great times ive had in guitar, i just dont want it to end. but of course it has to end some day. really really proud of everyone. even though at times i may be a total ass and shout at the whole lot of your, im actually very happy that each one of you has put in so much effort into this dream of ours.

what has happened to us. there was a time when everyone was happy to get a gold. but now the school just cripples us by setting that ideal pedestral of gold with honours. and it blinds us so much that all we are only willing to acknowledge as an achievement is a gold with honours.

therefore i understand the pain that the secondary orchestra feels. we all were there before 2 years ago. yes its true that the award does matter to everyone, no matter how many times we may try and say it doesnt. but we as a committee are very very very proud of all ure efforts and ure devotion to the CCA. to us you were the best, and if the syf award was based on the devotion to the CCA, the mastery of the instrument and the attitudes of the players, then you all would win a gold with double honours seriously.

i just hope that all of you can look back at the time uve spent in the guitar orchestra and have fond memories. as long as you've enjoyed ureself thats all tht matters!

just know in ure hearts that in truth, guitar orchestra has a double honours.

and when dumb people from a certain school, where its students are called a name that sounds like a rafflesia flower, rant on like they are so damn good, it just screams IM A LOSER, IM IMMATURE AND INSECURE THUS I RESORT TO DOING SUCH THINGS! SHOOT ME NW! yeah something like that. lets not stoop to that level.

cheers!

quote of the day: two roads diverged in a wood, and I..... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.

actually now tht ive reached an important step in my life, i often look back and think if things could have turned out differently. like for example if i managed to get into Raffles Institution in sec 1, i would probably be an introvert, nerdy study-orientated kind of person. And I quote from rene( or is it renee?) that "you're either sexy or an ri boy". or if i decided not to study MEP and pursue a third language in sec 1 instead. then my circle of friends would probably be much different, and i wouldnt be in the guitar orchestra. if i wasnt in guitar orchestra, i would not have learnt how to play the guitar. if i did not learn how to play the guitar, i wouldnt be in my church worship team, and i wouldnt be able to experience this closeness to god. so yeah. things could have actually been much different had i taken a different path somewhere along my life.

so nw i have decided not to look back and regret. like as much as i may hate the IB curriculum( i thinks its mispelled - ed: it is but it's changed), i still have to live with it. so to all who live in regret, thank god for everything! thank god for what he has given u, whether good or bad.

like when i look back at frets, i could say i was disappointed at the amount of ppl who turned up. i could react angrily to ppl who chided me by saying things like "even if the concert's free also not many ppl want to go". but ive decided to just let things be, and thank god tht the concert went well. i didnt make as many mistakes as i thought i would, and how deep is ure love was awesome. haha.

okay i need to thank some ppl:

Ian- for providing me with moral support even when i felt like folding under the immense pressure.

Eugene- for planning everything so well and sacrificing so much time and effort into this concert.

Edwin- for rising magnificently to the occasion by sorting out the supports and foot stools.

Chen Yi- for using ure god given great talent in guitar to make frets such a success.

Shaun lim and shane- for always being a firm anchor and a pillar of support.

samuel- for managing the secondary orchestra despite any disputes faced.

Erik and King- for giving it ure best for the concert, a constant reminder to me why we are still doing our best for guitar, to raise up wonderful people like you all.

and the IB orchestra people- for coming to my aid in arranging the chairs and stands for the second half of the concert. must really commend you all for making this concert such a success.

for all my friends who came down the support me, sorry i could not talk much to you all as i was busy with plenty of stuff. haha. special thanks to

Ling jia- for the flower and the huge box of hershey chocolates. goodness i really owe u.

Elizabeth- for coming down all the way from ang mo kio to support me and for giving me such a huge lollipop. haha. wonder how im going to finish it.

Ci jie and junipher and pearlyn- for the flowers and shouting ENCORE as loud as u could.

sarah- for the chocolate which sadly melted as i held it in my hand for too long.

alvin, joash, joseph, indra and gang for coming down to support me.

and my family for supporting me and fetching me to a good supper after the concert.

one more week to SYF, and its time to let go. seriously. and our combined FOA with choir and CPAC is the last straw. i refuse to perform in FOA. like seriously. i just cross my fingers and pray tht new leaders would rise up within the guitar orchestra, to lead the guitar orchestra to greater heights, to go places where we have not trod. haha.

and yes i must say that i have taken the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. (edit: how cliche, dre.)

CHEERS!

quote of the day: why didnt u remind me of joey's birthday??

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! i forgot about my good friend joey's birthday. so embarrassing. goodness me. i should just dig a huge hole and hide myself. thanks la JOYCE today then remind me, like it would do much help? hahahaha. ok my fault la i should have remembered!

ok so i should try and remember all my close friends birthdays. and speaking of friends, its strange when u meet old friends. and its even worse when u dotn recognise them! so embarrassing. i wonder next time would i still remember my current class mates. haha. thts why we should learn to treasure our friends as much as we can nw, cuz we may not meet them again in the future. haha.

today went out shopping with IAN. haha. great i cant believe i went shopping. somethings happening to me but somehow i kind of like it. haha. i must convert IAN!

FRETS. pls come and support us! will probably be my swan song for guitar orchestra. (FOA isnt counted cuz we are combining with a certain singing grp). i have found out whats its like to exhaust myself on my CCA. ive always scoffed at the notion of ppl who felt so drained and exhausted dealing with their respective CCAs. looks whos having the last laugh nw.

okay thts enough for today. another of school and guitar. im putting my heart and soul into frets and i hope i wont disappoint myself.

CHEERS!

2007-03-23T21:44:00.000+08:00

Quote of the day: where's your white tile??

not like i intentionally missed out my white tile during chem prac. stupid practical today everything was so confusing. not like in my higher chem class when u just take this mix with tht and titrate. and it didnt help tht the first two retort stands i took were incapable of holding up my burette, causing me to spill lots of hydrogen peroxide. well done andre, great first impression right there.

so now that i've changed class, everythings so confusing. going from class to class, and shifting chinese classes three times in a row. and i hardly know all the people in my class. so yeah class outing tomorrow. hopefully it wont be cliqueish and all if not it will defeat the purpose. haha.

and maybe people still have this wrong impression of me? i mean. some people see it as either ure on this side, or ure on that side. and thats not the way it is at all. seriously. sure i could raise objections as much as i please and push for my own way. but at what cost? to cause more conflict and hard feelings. on one hand i understand how one side is feeling, yet on the other hand i know that things arent the way they think it is. cruel it is, being the middleman.

and yes we make mistakes too. so dont keep scrutinising us and slamming us the moment we slip up. its all about the attitude and at least we try. you know what? for once ill like to sit back and see other people in our shoes. see what they do. in fact, tht day is going to come soon and i CANT WAIT! woo.

and its all talk talk talk. Yes i agree with you! its not like im a blockhead incapable of analysing things. but u cant just wait for things to happen can u? MAKE them happen! if only u all knew what i have been trying to do. then ull know.

ok on a lighter note.. F.R.E.T.S! an initiative of the guitar orchestra of Anglo Chinese School (Independent). as they say, finally a really exciting thing to see! hahaha. come and support us! FREE admission, great atmosphere at the Centre for Performing Arts at the new building of ACS (I). its going to be great! cya all there!

CHEERS! (to a good turnout at FRETS)

2007-03-23T21:38:00.000+08:00

wahahaha this is ian this better get published because ian is smart!

see, it got published HAH ANDRE you lousy. <3

2007-03-02T20:21:00.001+08:00

finally im blogging again. woo. im like blogging once a month.

history is useful really. i used to think history was a subject full of crap and old stuff that doesnt really matter anymore. who cares how some crazy power hungry ppl like hitler and stalin run their countries? not like it bothers me. im not gonna become the leader of singapore, establish myself as dictator and change it into a fascist or communist state.

BUT! its after studying history, u find out tht there are similarities between past and present. as the saying goes, history repeats itself. although its no longer on such a HUGE scale, but similarities are still present in smaller scales, like CCAs and schools and committees. really. one has but to analyse with a keen eye to see the similarities.

ah well. GUITAR CAMP. we've been doing it for 3 years. time for a handover. and pls no JACKETS. enough. ahh why so stubborn. nvm.

thinking of switching my subjects. from higher chem and standard history, to higher history and standard chem. losing interest in chem rapidly, and history is quite interesting.

ciao.

2007-01-21T20:34:00.000+08:00

blogging is a passing fad. it is. haha. yet why am i still being hit by anonymous taggers. school has been a drag. lessons are boring so far. hopefully it will get better. haha. why am i just rambling on and on. its as if i have nothing else to say. man the pratas in school are damn nice. especially their roti johns. i support manchester united, but i dont have freaking cable tv so i cant watch their match tonight against arsenal. liverpool owned chelsea. that rocks. my mum bought fantastic durian puffs yesterday. it was delicious. i love herbal soup, pronounced as "erbal". the H is silent. we had herbal steamboat yesterday. delicious. nw im watching the dance floor. its amusing to see ppl vent their frustrations on tv. maybe we dont realise how dumb we look when we vent our frustrations. why is it ok to spend 500 on 3 bags, but its extravagant to spend 90 bucks on a super nice pair of shoes? at least i dont start to regret buying my shoes like 2 days after the buy. at least im very happy with it. and female fashion is like seriously going down the drain. all these old fashioned ugly baggy dresses all around and whats worse is my mum and sis are actually buying them. what happened to sexy tank tops and spaghetti tops with a nice denim skirt and figure hugging t-shirts with slim nice jeans. and who is my history teacher i am clueless. why do ppl find guitar boring. its the same thing as why ppl find church boring. they dont have the passion for guitar/god. what can guitar do to be more interesting. start playing soccer in our guitar room or bring a drum set and a keyboard and mikes and start jamming. or bring in sexy gals for some bartop dancing. why do gals cause ppl to change so much. ppl in school suddenly becoming altogether new ppl. old friends suddenly walking past u like u were non-existent. ppl spreading rumours as if their lives depended on it. guys thinking of forsaking their school cuz of the lack of gals. why are some ppl so thick-skinned. u offer to treat them to a bowl of noodles they ask for a drink. u offer to buy a 3 dollar gift they ask for 10. asking u to buy bags unless u have no money than buy clothes. ill be happy with a bowl of noodles for my birthday. my mum's like nagging for me to wash the dishes. so yeah i guess ill stop ranting about and shut up, like what i should have done right from the beginning. really.

2007-01-15T20:55:00.000+08:00

i saw this at my friends blog. found it very meaningful, so i decided to post it. haha. if u have read it and find it meaningful as well, feel free to post it on ure blog. God bless!

Hello. I'm with a global enterprise. We have branches in every country in the world. We have representatives in nearly every parliament and boardroom on earth. We're into motivation and behaviour alteration. We run hospitals, feeding stations, crisis-pregnancy centres, universities, publishing houses, and nursing homes. We care for our clients from birth to death. We are into life insurance and fire insurance. We perform spiritual heart transplants. Our original Organizer owns all the real estate on earth plus an assortment of galaxies and constellations. He knows everything and lives everywhere. Our product is free for the asking. (There's not enough money to buy it.) Our CEO was born in a hick town, worked as a carpenter, didn't own a home, was misunderstood by his family and hated by his enemies, walked on water, was condemned to death without a trial, and arose from the dead. I talk with him every day.

I AM A PART OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE UNASHAMED. I HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT POWER. THE DIE HAS BEEN CAST. I HAVE STEPPED OVER THE LINE. THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. I AM A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST. I WON'T GO BACK, LET UP, SLOW DOWN, BACK AWAY OR BE STILL.

MY PAST IS REDEEMED, MY PRESENT MAKES SENSE, MY FUTURE IS SECURE. I AM FINISHED AND DONE WITH LOW LIVING, SIGHT WALKING, SMALL PLANNING ,SMOOTH KNEES, COLOURLESS DREAMS, TAMED VISIONS, MUNDANE TALKING, CHEAP GIVING AND DWARFED GOALS.

I NO LONGER NEED PREEMINENCE, PROSPERITY, POSITION, PROMOTIONS, PLAUDITS OR POPULARITY. I DON'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT, FIRST, TOPS, RECOGNISED, PRAISED, REGARDED OR REWARDED. I NOW LIVE BY FAITH, LEAN ON HIS PRESENCE, LOVE WITH PATIENCE, LIFT BY PRAYER AND LABOUR WITH POWER.

MY FACE IS SET, MY GAIT IS FAST, MY GOAL IS HEAVEN, MY ROAD IS NARROW, MY WAY IS ROUGH, MY COMPANIONS FEW, MY GUIDE IS RELIABLE AND MY MISSION CLEAR.

I CANNOT BE BOUGHT, COMPROMISED, DETERRED, LURED AWAY, TURNED BACK, DELUDED OR DELAYED. I WILL NOT FLINCH IN THE FACE OF SACRIFICE, HESITATE IN THE PRESENCE OF ADVERSITY, NEGOTIATE AT THE TABLE OF THE ENEMY, PONDER AT THE POOL OF POPULARITY OR MEANDER IN THE MAZE OF MEDIOCRITY.

I WON'T GIVE UP, BACK UP, LET UP OR SHUT UP UNTIL I'VE PREACHED UP, PRAYED UP, PAID UP, STORED UP AND STAYED UP FOR THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. I AM A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST. I MUST GO UNTIL HE RETURNS, GIVE UNTIL I DROP, PREACH UNTIL ALL KNOW AND WORK UNTIL HE STOPS ME.

AND WHEN HE COMES TO GET HIS OWN, HE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM RECOGNISING ME. MY COLOURS WILL BE CLEAR FOR "I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD FOR THE SALVATION OF EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES." (Romans 1:16)

2007-01-10T20:42:00.000+08:00

2007! a new school year. everything is different nw. all the new subjects, all the new ppl.

ORIENTATION! man my OGLs are like crappy! haha. but give them some credit they tried their best. reminds me of how i was during the exchange program last year. so serious and then never played any games just introduced names and hobbies. HAHA. well ppl learn from past experiences i guess. haha. so it was up to me and alvin to like bond the whole OG together. four gals: bobbie debbie aisha and sarah. 16 guys: me, alvin, eugene, tek, zhang, mervyn, ted kin, fabris,ian, zhen yi, damien, charles, two indians who i cant spell their names, and my two ogls. in the end i think we mixed around quite well i guess. except the geps but then again, they are geps so wth, who cares. haha.

games were so-so. most were dirty filthy sick disgusting twisted sadistic games. only the last day when we had the acsiting race, it was great cuz it was so slack and clean! WONDERFUL. although we had to make a fool of ourselves, but hey im used to it. ha. and MOUNT DOVER WON! not like it matters. its just for the fun of it. haha.

nw SAC has a new extension. we finally have REAL pratas! as in REAL COOKED B4 U OILY CRISPY AUTHENTIC PRATAS! haha. yummy. nw if i need a budget meal i know where to go. haha. nw have to wear the new tie too. haha. at first i thought it was ugly. but when i wore it it looked quite nice. maybe its just me, everything just looks nice on me.

SHAUN LIM SHAUN LIM! haha. hip hair style sia. and he has a crush crush crush! haha. so amusing! imagine. shaun lim in love. zomg LOLROFLMAO! nvm shaun lim ill help intro u no worries. woooo. im such a great and caring friend la.HAHA. jk.

yeah of course in every school theres always a number of crashers. a bunch of former acsi express ppl came back to crash. all of them acting like a bunch of gangsters. tried to pick a fight with one of the newbies. pretending like they are so tough??? like they kept saying "hey i saw u staring at me! not happy ah? whats ure problem?? u new down here dont fuck her fuck there ah! and so on so forth." all talk no action. during the barker fight where were the bunch of ure to beat up the barker ppl huh? all ran away. and the new guy was so dumb. told him to ignore tht bunch of fools he went to argue with them. saying what peace and respect. dots. u just dont negotiate with a bunch of primitive apes. so in the end we had to step in and prevent him from causing more trouble. haha. anyway. i bet if we didnt interfere, the guys wouldnt do anything pls.

yeah school is still very slack nw. subjects havent been fixed yet. i wanted to take both econs and business and management. but turns out tht option isnt open. and they arent offering further maths. not like i wanted to take it. but all these last min notices. wa lau. so nw i decided to take history instead.
so my subject options are:

option 1:
higher level- Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics.
Standard level- English A1, Chinese B and History.

option 2:
same higher level subjects as option 1.
standard level- Englsih A1, Chinese B and Physics

options 3:
same higher level subs as option 1 and 2.
standard level- English A1, Chinese B and Geography.

hopefully ill get my first option and then i hope it wont be an intact class. so i can get to meet more ppl. haha.

guitar orchestra. what can i say. i cant really complain about guitar cuz it cant really get any worse. so yeah things have been picking up. great tht we have 3 newcomers and 2-4 pending guitar orch members for our senior ensemble. wasnt easy. cuz how many ppl play the guitar? and how many can read notes and play guitar? and if thts not enough, u try picking a random 100 ppl of the streets and find out how many can do the above. yeah.

lectures are boring the pants off me. i just have to stuggle everyday to keep myself awake. cant wait for classes to start. haha. anyone have any ideas what to do during boring lectures? haha.

ok enough for today. hope for a great school year ahead! WOO!

CHEERS!

2006-12-28T21:59:00.000+08:00

so christmas. so fast it just goes by. all the Ham and turkeys. cant believe how sick of such stuff one can get. haha.

guitar orchestra. amazing how ppl can just come for guitar and dont practise. and when u ask them whether they have finished the song they go no. then they still just sit there and talk. i just feel like strangling them all to death. seriously.

last monday. wore a tie to church. HAHA. once i get the pictures ill upload them. anyway. i was supposed to play guitar for hokkien minisitry. but my sis didnt tell me about it until the day itself. so i was quite unprepared and i didnt really want to play the guitar for hokkien ministry? then when i went there i found out tht they left the guitar at the restaurant where we had our christmas lunch. so i just felt like god was telling me if u dont have the right heart to play for god, then dont play. yeah. so i felt really reproachful. haha.

and then i tried to talk to teacher lucy and tell her about my decision to quit children ministry? Lo and BEHOLD she just turned the tables around on me and made me sound so foolish and stuff for quitting children ministry. HAHA. felt like such a fool. but i still think i want to quit children ministry so yeah see how lo. so nw im still in children ministry. sighs.

ok school starting soon. seriously this is the first time im looking forward to school starting. haha. holidays have been a drag. and next year the first few months would be super slack so yeah. WOO. haha. not to mention all the new friends ill be having next year. ahaha.

no more holiday blues for me woo! haha.

CHEERS!

2006-12-24T00:15:00.000+08:00

hey...

i know its a long time since i posted. haha. just cant seem to think of things to blog about. nw with school over theres hardly anything to blog about. hahaha.

well. YOUTH CAMP! let the PASSION ARISE! haha. was quite fun and enjoyable being the grp leader. haha. i just love tht sense of authority. and besides that also got to lead devotions and reallly cuz myself to be closer to god. haha.

anyway we played the game of life. where they give u a slip of paper which tells u what kind of education level u have, what job u hold and how much inheritance u have. then u have to earn more money by the "stock market", upgrading ure education and job or investing in "property". yeah sounds rubbish but WOO HOO im the top earner in the camp with a WHOPPING 8.196 million! hahaha. rubbish. but i "rejected" all the ppl who tried to share the 4 spiritual laws with me. trying to "convert" me into a christian. cuz u also start out with a certain religion. hahaha. so what if i had tht much money in the end im "not" a christian also lose all my money in death. hahaha. yeah. so those filthy rich ppl please to not pay too much attention to ure earthly wealth but instead look for ure riches in HEAVEN! yeah!

so in the youth camp i faced this problem that ive been facing. which ministry to drop? cuz im nw serving in the hokkien ministry, children ministry and youth worship ministry. then i feel tht i need to drop one of these ministries? like last time i kept holding on to all three ministries cuz i kept saying to myself tht i must PERSEVERE! carry on for god's sake! yeah. but during the youth camp even though they talked about persevering, but some of my camp members shared about the importance of learning the right time to give up. like sometimes it isnt always the best thing to hold on to something u dont really enjoy. so i guess i enjoy playing for youth worship ministry, i enjoy seeing the wondrous way the old ppl just worship god in the hokkien ministry. but somehow i do not look forward to children ministry? especially after a meeting where they said tht those of us in the children ministry need to hug the children more and show our love to them kinda thing. then i just thought to myself, huh, im not tht kinda person. so yeah. i guess maybe its the best thing to just quit the children ministry. hope god will grant me his wisdom in this decision. hahaha.

so yeah after the exams i sort of stopped doing my quiet time regularly? cuz during exams i felt tht i was too busy to do quiet time. so after tht i stopped my quiet time for a long time. then after exams i only did my quiet time like 2, 3 times a week? so during the camp i realised the importance of quiet time, of spending quiet time alone with god to hear him speak to us? yeah. so on thursday, i decided to go and start doing my quiet time regularly. then i flipped my devotion book open and then the bible reading for tht day just struck me! like TOTALLY! i just felt like god was like right there shouting to me.

JOHN CHAPTER 15
1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

4. Remain in me, and I will remain in you, NO branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can u bear fruit unless u remain in me.

5. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and i in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

i read this passage and i was like so struck by the repetition of the words "Remain in me, and i will remain in you." it was like so encouraging when i decided to go back to my regular quiet time, then i see such a promise from god. its way cool! its BEYOND cool man. my god totally rocks big time! hahaha.

so yeah today was invited to living sanctuary brethen church by ling jia. haha. thanks for the invite again. was a new experience for me to go to another church. although i have gone to others b4, every new church i go to is a new experience. haha. but it was a good concept for the service. a LOVE LETTER from god. haha. cool. god wrote a love letter to u like 2000+ years before u were born. haha.

recently i also went to a event organised by st james church. invited by joyce. haha. its all about wheres ure destination in life? haha. whether u decide to go to the drugs and violence destination? or the jealousy and hatred destination? or the depressed and suicide destination? haha. we all have a CHOICE. will we decide to go to the wrong destination, or would we decide to go towards a destination called HEAVEN? haha. its ure choice. u decide.

and yeah the speaker said something tht really made me ponder. imagine ure the host of a party. many ppl come to ure house for the party. many ppl eat the food u provide at the party. many people relax and chill out and chat with the other people u invited at the party. and no one bothers to talk to you, no one says thanks, everyone just ignores u???? imagine that. that host is actually our god. we live happily in HIS world. we happily enjoy the luxuries HE has provided for us. we have friends and have relationships with people HE put into our lives. yet most of us decide to ignore him. most of us dont give thanks to him. most of us rather pretend this god does not exist. its saddening, yes it is. and his birthday is coming and most of the ppl at his party dont even care about it??? sad.

yeah anyway its christmas soon, which celebrates the birth of christ. not about some witless old fat git in a red suit and sporting an uncomely white beard, who's name "coincidentally" rearranges to form the word "satan". so lets come all ye faithful and celebrate. haha.

CHEERS!

2006-11-28T20:43:00.000+08:00

holidays. not as exciting as i expected. spending almost everyday at home. boring. hahaha. without a computer, without cable and dvd/vcd players, i can only watch channel 5/ kids central. how boring. hahaha.

so occasionally i go out and gym, to exercise. haha. if not i keep feeling like im rotting at home. haha. luckily nw i have some books to past away my time. haha. this makes me realise tht actually school is quite fun, except during the exam period. so many friends in school and a lot of activities. haha.

yeah last sunday WILD WILD WET. hahaha. supposed to have much more ppl going, but everyone suddenly had other commitments and stuff. but overall i reasoned tht less ppl was actually more fun. haha. and so sorry vanessa for causing u to be grounded! hahaha. so paiseh.

yeah everyone hope u have wonderful holidays! cheers!

i dont know if u meant what u said, but lets not overreact? ull rather forget everything over something so small? haha. i hope not. ah well. its not ure fault neither is it my fault. so i dont understand. but over something so small???? hmmmm. yeah expect the unexpected.

2006-11-10T19:24:00.000+08:00

HEY! finally im posting again huh??? hahaha. i know this may be a bit late but thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday on 5th nov! haha. really appreciated the care and gifts that ure have given me. hahaha. and a friend of mine asked me, why do u like ppl to bake for u? haha. well, its true that i feel very very touched when ppl bake stuff for me. cuz i wont want my good friends to splurge so much money on me buying expensive gifts. and sometimes ppl try and convey their strong friendship with u by buying expensive gifts. that i understand and appreciate a lot a lot. actually i would also appreciate it a lot if ppl just gave me a nice homemade card or make some art and crafts, or to bake something for me. cuz theres a lot of effort put into such things and that is really really touching. haha. so thanks to my church cell and ling jia and ci jie for baking for me! HAHA. if i could bake ill bake for ure birthdays also la. hahaha. but too bad i cant bake, unless ure wanna go down with a bad case of food poisoning, so maybe ill try something else. HAHA.

yeah so now im finally 16. hooray. so its time for reflection. many people say im superficial. thats true i guess. but the thing is. there is a part in EVERYONE that is superficial. oh come on dont lie. dont tell me that looks dont matter to u. haha. sure some people care more about looks then others, but ultimately everyone cares about looks whether to a large or small extent. let me explain y looks is partly important to me. in any relationship, there must be ATTRACTION! without attraction, a relationship wont last. without attraction, a relationship is not strong. basically, any relationship without attraction would not fare well. so what creates that feeling of attraction? attraction is mainly caused (i think) by looks, personality, brains and sadly, money. if u ever get into a relationship with anyone, u must feel tht ure partner looks good. right? if not it wouldnt be good in the long run, if u ever get married, u know what i mean. so my partner has to look good. haha. beyond a shadow of a doubt. must look good. haha. of course looking good isnt enough, must have a few other qualities too.

ok this are a few qualities and traits that i look out for in a gal. haha.
(* means very important)

slim*( slim as in slim not shaun lim)
fit
humourous*
not too sensitive*
good-looking** (subjective to me only)
smart**
responsible
trusting
GOD FEARING ***
domesticated (able to cook proper meals, able to do housework)
clean
talkative ( not too talkative)
doesnt watch korean dramas (HAHAHAHA)

and end to yet another school year. this year has been a great great year for me i must admit. haha. time to do a reflection of the school year gone past.

start of the year. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM! great fun! super posh hotels! 6 star man! exclusive one of a kind toilets, top notch bathing facilities, confortable and spacious beds, complete with silk bedsheets and cushions. (SARCASM x 10). but was fun la, the bonding and all, the lack of luxuries and entertainment caused us to appreciate friendship even more. haha.

guitar camp, hmmmm, was my first as one of the committee. interesting, especially the night games. haha. although was quite disappointed when 3 quarters of the committee came back from dinner one hour late. but overall was fun.

exchange program with PLMGSS. was quite good overall la. learnt a lot, learnt to be more sensitive, to watch what i say, for girls are such sensitive creatures. learnt that our guitar orchestra has quite a lot to learn from them.

final exams. was quite good. happy with my results yeah. thank god for it. haha.

these are just individual events. haha. lots of stuff have happened in this year and i thank god for it.

becoming a committee member of guitar orchestra.

getting to know a great friend like joyce teo. haha. (see im so nice)

joining the worship team.

meeting new friends.

good results for final year.

finally. guitar guitar guitar. i love the guitar. but the guitar orchestra just constantly pushes ure passion to the limit. we have people who just say, "if i dont feel like coming i wont come lo". and people who believe that the best way to encourage others to come for guitar is to , " try and attend all the practices ureself." crap. the standard of guitar is dropping like crazy, sec 1s that cant play a decent tune. sec 3s that still arent up to scratch, and those that do dont have the right attitude. and other people blaming others for their own incompetency. get real. we arent a charity organization. if u aint good enough, u get the cut. simple as tht. dont push the blame. and ppl wanting to leave guitar, its ure choice, no one is holding u back. go, since u feel that ull be much happier without guitar orchestra, we wouldnt want to hold u back.

whew there, got it off my chest, ppl pls shape up la if u want to stay in the guitar orchestra. SYF year, it isnt a joke. we have to strive to achieve what we have not, the gold with honours. its no joke.

wooo. guess ill have to hold off the interesting post to the next one then. haha.

CHEERS!

2006-10-31T21:36:00.000+08:00

YO! yeah long time never update my blog. hahaha. hmmmmm. i apologise, especially to my fan club, who i am sure must be disappointed to not see me update my blog. HAHA.

ok. exams ended. but it was not as great as i expected. i mean. everyone during exams is just dreaming and dreaming of the end of exams. how fun it would be, how carefree. haha. but the euphoria is not as great as i want it to be though. haha. but still, better than exam time of course. haha. okok. a brief summary of my performance for this final year examinations.

subject Aim Est Actual. points subjects counted
English 70 70 62 5 yes
Chinese 70 80 83 7 yes
Core maths(e maths) 85 80 94 7 yes
A Maths 85 65 79 6 yes
Chemistry 70 75 81 7 yes
Physics 75 70 69 5 no
IHS(socialstudies) 80 75 70 6 yes
MEP(music elective program)75 65 73 6 no

points:38(excluding bonus points)
Average: 76.4

ok. some of ure maybe very confused. hahaha. the points system is as follows.

7- 80 and above
6- 70 to 79
5- 60 to 69
4- 50 to 59
etc etc

so we pick the six relevant subjects and add up the points. haha. maximum points is 42.(excluding bonus points).

and yes b4 i start any exam, i always write down my aims. then just after exam ill write the estimated mark for the paper. than after that write the actual marks. im quite satisfied with my results this year. hahaha. thank god.

WOO yeah my class top the level in chemistry, physics and IHS! WOO! thanks to great teachers ms Quek Yi Lik, Mr Patrick Soo and Mr Lim Eng Kong. great teachers. especially Mr Soo who turned our class from second lowest in level last year to top class this year. miracle worker man.

and i got 4th in level for MEP! WOO WOO! yeah shut up IAN so wat if u got first. hahahaha.

okok. CHEERS!

2006-10-12T22:39:00.000+08:00

ladies and gentlemen. i have an important announcement to make.
EXAMS ARE OVER! WOO HOO! hahaha. finally man. i was shut away from my computer, its like where i usually socialise. so i felt quite lost. hahaha. so nw tht im back into my social life ive been trying to ask ppl out so tht we can have quality time! haha.

shant talk much about exams, except a maths was harder than i expected. but overall was quite pleased with myself. haha.

aiya. i dont know. i have nothing much to blog about. life is as usual, if u want a blow by blow analysis of my everyday life its fine but its just so dumb. hahaha.

ok today i went to watch world trade center. then there was this gal sitting behind me. then just b4 the movie started she started telling her friends excitedly, " OH OH I KNOW WHAT THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT ALREADY! ITS ABOUT 911 RIGHT?" dots. i just couldnt stop laughing. makes me wonder how blur can ppl get.

take for example shaun lim. hahaha. he is one funny guy i tell u. cuz we have to renew our ez link card cuz its expiring. so shaun lim msgs my classmate and says, "hey what is this renewing thing? then we say oh renew ure ez link card. then he says how to renew? then we say just tell them u wanna renew la. then he says TELL WHO! WAHAHAHAHA! i mean. tell who. HAHAHA. tell the control center operator la. haha. nvm.

okok. cheers PPL!

2006-10-06T21:09:00.000+08:00

i realise that i am quite open about talking about all kinds of topics. more than others it seems. haha. some people when it gets to sensitive topics they just clam up and stop talking, or feel embarrassed or start changing the subject. haha. i think the reason why im so open is due to my GREAT family. haha. especially my DAD. haha. here are some examples.

recently my orthodontist made me wear rubber bands for my braces. and im always to lazy to put the rubber bands. so my mum says to me, "Andre put on ure RUBBER before u sleep!" (Father bursts out laughing and so do i).
p.s those who dont understand whats so funny, i hope u maintain ure innocence for a long time. haha.

secondly. we were cutting up this snowskin moon cake with nuts in it. then my sister picks up her slice of mooncake. then the nuts fell out. so my sister exclaimed, " AH MY NUTS DROPPED!" (me and DAD bursts out laughing for a full 10 mins.)
p.s those who dont understand this as well, stay innocent always.

My DAD constantly FARTS. so once my sister decided to give my dad a taste of his own medicine. so she farted too. then my father scolded her then she said ," MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO!" HAHAHAHAHAHA! goshness. she jacked herself by saying shes a MONKEY! hahahaha. DAMN FUNNY LA. yeah. thts my great family. constantly full of laughter. thts why im also so so so so full of laughter la. haha.

CHEERS!

the great dilemma

2006-10-05T13:03:00.000+08:00

WOO! i finally have time to blog. hahaha. left my mathematics and chinese. can slack a bit. ok i shall blog about some things ive been wanting to blog about since b4 the exams.

SINGAPORE IDOL!

it has come to my notice that most of the gals i knew were supporting Jonathan leong. i was seriously puzzled by this. therefore i have come up 3 theories.
(when i refer to gals here i mean those tht support jonathan leong)

1st theory: Gals suffer from hearing deficiencies.

ok this theory is not very plausible, but it can still be considered. if they support jonathan leong, means they may think that jonathan sings better then hady. tht is obviously not true as hady sings better than jonathan like the way andrea bocelli sings better than paris hilton. therefore the only reason to explain y they think jonathan sings better is because they suffer from hearing deficiencies.

2nd theory: Gals are racist.

ok if the first theory is wrong, means they support jonathan cuz they think he is good looking. (is He????????) ok anyway they think he is good looking (ahem) but then hady is how good looking also. haha. so it doesnt make sense that they support jonathan over hady unless they are RACIST.

3rd theory: gals prefer guys with Long hair.

ah of all 3 theories this is the most sound theory of all. the only thing that jonathan has more than hady is the length of his hair. thus if those gals think that hed is better looking, it must be the length of his hair. therefore these gals prefer guys with long hair.

and all these excitement and hype over this idolmania. its plain dumb. i mean. in singapore, anyone could just be a potential singapore idolist. who knows the classmate sitting beside u could be the next singapore idol. just think if tht happens. would u be like starstruck and crazy over tht classmate of ures if he became the sg idol? i think not. because to u he is just NORMAL! aha. tht is the thing im emphasizing. THEY ARE NORMAL! imagine u were jonathans or hadys classmate in lets say NUS. then he goes to join sg idol, then he becomes the runner up. would u be crazy over him? not........ or lets pretend jonathan never joined singapore idol. so this non sg idol jonathan leong walks past u in orchard road. would like give him a second glance????? have i proved my point? haha.
(no offence to anyone just stating my sincere feelings here)

to anyone who is still living in idolmania i hope tht ure will open ure eyes and SEE that there are much better things to do in life then to go crazy and gaga over normal ppl. haha.

CHEERS!

2006-09-09T22:07:00.000+08:00

Hello People :D

WOO HOO! guess what. i bought my multieffects! HAHA. ok. this announcement is like one week old cuz im just too lazy to update. HAHA. its the zoom G9.2tt! there are some pics of it on top. haha. hmmm it has this horizontal pedal on the right pedal. quite cool. haha. still learning how to use the many functions in it. hahahaha.

yeah today had the performance at far east plaza. super squeezy la the place. then the spotlights were so hot and the mikes were not loud enough. hahaha. was quite a bad experience, plus i screwed up some parts. especially prelude. wa. everyone all in disarray. haha. then after the performance shane exchanged some sweet words with his sweetheart. awwww. so sweet. hahaha.

and an update on my results for this term 3. haha.

in descending order.
core maths-96
IHS-90
Advanced maths-80
chemistry-76
english-66(i think, not sure)
chinese-59
physics-54

Average-74.4

ok la was quite good considering i did not study hard enough, physics quite bad though. chinese has always been hopeless i mean come on seeing was sch i come from, chinese pass can already.

today had the interview for our next year committee. hahaha. had a lot lot of fun la. intimidating all of them. but some ppl were very disappointing i must say. why cant u ppl just be more committed to guitar? its so infuriating when we are running out of choices for committee posts la. and oh yeah, i realised through the interview tht the most favoured and respected superhero is SPIDERMAN. yeah. cuz he can climb walls and shoot webs. i mean wat a cool skill, climbing walls is something to look up to, wth.

TA TA. ciao

2006-08-30T22:13:00.000+08:00

WOO im finally updating! WOW WOW WOW WOW! haha. dunno la. just nothing to write about. URE all adoring fans of mine reading this pls give me something to write about! HAHA. oh i took this photo in the mrt. thts the great ME in the centre. then alvin on the left, john foo on the right. HAHA. john foo looks like he wants to kiss me. so GROSS! HAHA. and alvin is just retarded. b4 we took this picture alvin was argueing with me about whose hp camera could take photos more secretly. so throughout the trip home we were trying to take secret snapshots of each other. HAHA. then we tried secretly taking photos of other ppl as well. YES i know its dumb but thts another day into the life of the GREAT andre. HAHA.

OH. this is a typical scene in class. HAHA. happens everyday. thts amos the great singer and rhythm guitarist of deluge on the left, and the lagging world champion SHAUN LIM on the right. they are playing the SLAPPING GAME. rules of the games are as follows.

objective of game: slap the opponents face.

rules: only both hands are allowed to slap. both hands can also be used to block ones own face.

instructions: try and get ure opponent to remove his hands from his face, then u can use ure hand to slap him! no slapping of face when both hands are protecting it.

so from the example above, amos is lifting his hand to slap shaun lim while shaun lim is protecting his face with both hands. amos always wins though, shaun lim is too slow. HAHA.

theres also another game called the slapping ASS game. same thing as the slapping face game, just that its the ass that gets slapped not the face. HAHA. ok. this is just a glimpse into the life of the average acs classroom. HAHA.

okok signing off nw! CIAO!

hey.

i know i did wrong,
and im terribly sorry.
we made not have known each other long,
but i treasure ure friendship, seriously.

i have been too thoughtless,
such that i have crossed the line.

woo wee! church today! made my debut as lead guitarist for worship. was quite fun. really enjoyed myself during practice. definitely a nice change from just going down to observe. its a real far cry from the real thing. haha. felt awesome to be part of the band. haha. even though i could see aaron was quite stressed. haha. cuz he also debut with me. but could tell he wasnt used to the acoustic role. think he was more the lead role. haha. so anyway. yeah really enjoyed myself on stage. haha. surprisingly i was not nervous on stage at all. haha.

after the youth service. tiang yue spoke to us. hmm. i think it was quite a important issue. yeah. i know that quite a few ppl may be in the worship team with no heart of worship. and of course theres the discipline problem there, where everyones late for worship practice. haha. but seriously, today i think when aaron was playing on stage he tried to clown around a bit? i dunno. but yeah. wat tiang yue said was right, we are the ones leading others to worship. thts important i guess. yeah. oh he mentioned ppl walking out in the middle of main service. hope he wasnt referring to me cuz i went out to help in the children ministry. haha.

yeah i just think i should slowly slowly just serve god in this are of worship. then hopefully i can move on to singing as well, another passion of mine. hahaha. yeahhhh. its the only area where i feel i can offer myself in service to him, the worship ministry. haha.

okay battle of the bands on friday was quite good i guess. was really really impressed with amos band. they had really good showmanship and it was quite exciting to watch them perform. but the problem with amos band i guess is tht they need a better vocalist. haha. no offence to amos. amos is a good player and has an ok voice which is actually good enough, but thts probably the reason y they lost to barker. the barker band really impressed me as well. their vocalist was really really good and yeah i guess they deserved to win. but amos band was still very good! but theres only one winner so congratulations to the barker band then.

but then after tht a fight broke out between us and barker. like wth? they won right. not like they lost. haha. i guess thts the problem with barker and us la. when ever the both of us compete against each other always got a lot of ill feelings. but really really thank god for leading me out of the school early. i can imagine wat would happen if i was caught in the fight. cuz my friend said he was harrassed at the bus stop by like 20 barker ppl. and i was thinking wat would i do if i was provoked by them? haha. u think leh? ill probably end up in hospital hopefully with a few barker ppl. haha.so yeah really thank god. knowing my temper and my tendency to fight. haha.

oh yeah ive been finaly offered the chance to play for worship! haha, so so so cool can. after countless times of practicing and going for worship pracs. haha. thk god la. hope i can play well yeah! haha. so i guess its really time to get a electric guitar. meanwhile i have to borrow an electric from my friend i guess. THE TIME HAS COME YEAH! oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.

oh yeah i met zhiwei's brother on bob day and during intermission we arm wrestled. haha. zhiwei has long been saying about how strong his bro was and i was so so longing to arm wrestle someone stronger then me thing cuz my whole class all lose to me( sorry if i ego a bit la) so it was really fun to arm wrestle him and i won the first one then we drew the next 3 then i lost the las tone so yay! DRAW. HAHA.i somehow feel this whole paragraph is out of point but i have nothing else to say so yeah! haha. oh strong ppl pls challenge me arm wrestling! hahahaha.

ok since im on the journey into the past. i shall go all the way back k. hmmm. long long time ago. in the southern province of china. on a small hill. there was a great mother with 2 children and someone else's child!

haha. im the one in the middle. but i guess the picture is quite blur yeah. HAHA. too bad cannot see clearly. but in my house got a lot of such photos. everyone all say wa so cute! haha. then my sisters friends came then one of them said wa dawn ure bro last time so cute then she didnt realise i was standing right behind so. HAHA. i was laughing like crazy!

HERES another pic! haha. this was in vietnam! wa i didnt want to do it lo but in the end HECK LA jus do for fun lo. haha. the snake was super super heavy la. haha. when the guy dropped the snake on my shoulders like super heavy. haha. as u can see from my expression i was damn scared the snake would bite me. haha. hmm. tht pic was in sec 2 i think. haha. late sec 2 to early sec 3. haha. cool pic yeah?

OKAY! enough pics for today la. haha. shall upload others soon. yeah. today guitar practice. was so pissed with wat eugene suggested? i eat humble pie? no offence to euge he is a great guy and all. but guitar wont die without them. we shant mould ourselves to become their "perfect" guitar ensemble. they should realise we are already damn leniant with those ppl la. and the logistics job has been the same for like 4 years, and nw we should modify it to suit their needs? HELL NO! quit then quit lo. they attitude so lousy anyway. sigh. i guess no point shouting and making a big fuss. ill just go and reason with those idiots la. not happy then they get out lo. sigh.

bad mood. ta.

yeah sunday today! had church as usual. today had to help out the children ministry! so funny la. im told the songs to play like just b4 we sing the songs? so i have to really think on the spot about the chords and the notes. haha. but its all easy tunes la. just tht i got stumped over this chinese song. haha.

yeah after church went with my friend to play LAN! woo hoo! 90 cents and hour lA! wa shiok.then we just played with this grp of boys who were playing counter strike. haha. they got owned la. im like 34 kills 20 deaths and my friend 36 kills 14 deaths. but my friend kept camping and i kept chionging.. haha. then some more its me and my friend vs 3 ppl. haha. then knife fight. my friends suggestion. i was screaming how can knife fight?? 3 vs 2 knife fight we sure lose la! then my friend jus chiong out and 2 of them attacked him. then i tot wa sure die i wont reach there in time. then my friend killed both of them la. wa. really really noob la. haha. but it was fun i guess. better then dumb games like dota and maple story.

went home and slept like a log la! until like 8.30 pm?? then i awoke with a shock. haha. so ate dinner late again. oh yeah. today church my cell was supposed to wear ties. but i forgot! oh no. so funny la. in the end only 2 ppl wore ties. haha. so weird! nvm! next time wear tie again! yeah yeah! hahaha.

oh yeah church today the turt (the ultimate road trip) guys came and shared about their experience. for ppl who dunno. the ultimate road trip is a music mission trip where this grp of musicians travel around and spread the gospel through praise and worship. so cool right? i havent been to any mission trip yet and i really wanna go on one! so turt is the one for me. i mean its the onyl mission trip tht seriously appeals to me la. haha. anyone wanna apply for turt with me! hahaha. wait until im like university la.. haha.

today guitar practice. SIAN LA. im just so so so sick of trying to get everyone to shut up. all those attitude ppl. sigh. trying my best to have patience. thts wat i seriously lack.

for the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, PATIENCE, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, GENTLENESS and SELF-CONTROL

i seriously need those capitalized virtues la. haha. especially self-control. sometimes when i just reach breaking point i can just explode la. BUT. only those in my class may have seen me explode cuz i usually dont explode so easily. haha.

GRACE U LIED TO ME! hahahaha. tell tell tell tell. tell me!

HAHA. i just remembered something. during guitar practice, IAN DIDNT ZIP HIS PANTS! hahahaha. eeeeeee. then my friend saw it and told me! wahahah. IAN THE FLASHER! hahaha. so funny. then we kept calling him a flasher. HAHA. ookokok. dont get offended ian. haha. ure the best.

exchange program

2006-07-07T23:31:00.000+08:00

okay! im feeling really really free right nw. so i shall jus reminiscent about the exchange program between acsi and plmgs. haha.

FIRST DAY! eugene led the gals into the sch. looked damn funny from afar cuz they were so far apart. haha. anyway. ICEBREAKERS! fiasco is the word. they were supposed to mix around la.haha. didnt happen. except maybe nathan. then practice practice practice. haha. asked the gals to choose the score. chose entertainer! i was like wa. cool song. they must be quite pro since they chose such a pro song. haha. then i told them to sight read for like 10 mins. then after tht i want to start the song then they say "ermm wats the first note??" WA! i PENGZ lo. then after tht slowly teach lo. haha. was quite an experience for me teaching them though. FUN. but the gals tot i was "damn act" -quoting one of the gals. hahah. stupid singlet. then we practiced the sectionals. then after sight reading the whole song for ermm 5 times? haha. then i tot hmm maybe we should try the whole song. then i asked "who has finished sight reading the piece?" only ONE person raise the hand leh. haha. decided to let them sight read a while longer lo. haha.

SECOND DAY! decided to put my foot down, changed the song. it was too difficult for them. haha. even the king napoli said he couldnt play one part. so changed to yesterday once more.

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.

Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.

It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.

Every Sha-la-la-la
Every Wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing's
So fine.

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry.
Just like before
It's yesterday once more.
