Today was a great day at school!!
First Period: Econs Tutorial
It was alright overall, he went to check all our work and not a single one received good comments. as usual. hehe.
Second Period: Maths Tutorial
It was great, finally learnt how to do questions with involved finding the f ' (x) of the f (x) to solve. Great to have Mr Lee as our Maths Teacher! Hope he likes our gift tomorrow :D oh and i also managed to do some tutorial questions for maclaurin's series LOL
Third Period: Chem Tutorial
was doing Maclaurin's so wasn't really paying attention, but it was ok i cleared some misconceptions i had for ionic equilibrium. then got back our entropy test. happy for zhi yong that he did well. hope he does well for the chem lecture test too.
1 Hour Break
ate western food again, fish and chips with spaghetti. then drank iced milk tea again. i think i should stop drinking that; sure get diabetes if this goes on. after eating finish went to collect the climbing cage key from the REAL miss gao's pigeon hole at the staff room for this saturday's L1 Climbing Course! Hope all goes smoothly this saturday :) then proceeded to LT5 for our chem lecture test.
Chem Lecture Test
It was ok, though i think there was not enough time. What pissed me off was that after the paper ended the lecturer kept nagging at the chem reps to hurry up. then after that zhi yong helped me to give out the organic chem notes. realized that we were short of 1 so went to collect from granny yeo.
Phy Lecture
nothing much to talk about :/ it was ok i guess, other than MR BENEDICT TEOW trolling the lecturer with the green laser and not wanting to own up afterthat.
After School
went to OAC store to sign the teacher's day card for all the OAC teachers. Then went for the engineering fair with zhi yong, tried out the eye control thingy and asked about aerospace/mechanical engineering and then went with him to climbasia to buy miss gao's gift. i drank a chocolate milkshake and he ate strawberry soya bean ice cream then we sat down and talked for a while all the way to bishan and then i took a bus home and bathe and now im blogging and now im gonna do my written report bye.

sigh
Finally done with my part for WR. Will blog now because i don't feel like doing econs and studying for chem test tmr.
can't wait for tmr to end and get a well deserved break.
sigh.
its funny how i help others solve their problems, give them advice and all, but i can't even help myself sometimes...
i feel lousy for neglecting scouts for so long and drifting apart from my sec sch friends. i don't know what i'm doing with my life at times. yeah maybe the priorities i set for myself are right, but it's also morally wrong. i'm such a selfish bastard now that i think about it.
idk what else to write anymore. why did i even open up blogger in the first place...

I waste a lot of time thinking of an approriate title
Hello, didn''t blog yesterday as I was out the whole day, only got home at around 12 and was dead tired to use the com.
So anyway, here's what happened yesterday.
Went to buy socks and a new water bottle (my old one keeps leaking) at hougang mall. Then went to meet zhi yong at bishan. ate subway again, then went library to mug. after that we went to somerset to meet nicholas to buy our class teacher's day present! walked around talking crap for awhile before proceeding to city hall to meet up with gavin, jia xian and mr lee. we went to eat at some japanese food stall (forgot the name of the stall) that had free flow of drinks and ice cream. the food was nice too. talked a lot and laughed a lot, then benny finally came after accidentally locking his room when his keys were inside LOL. So we walked to esplanade, (benny walked ahead of us because nic asked him to do so) and soon we lost sight of benny. when we reached the theatre, the guards took away the toy cause i was handcarrying it in a plastic bag and i could only take it after the performance was over. went in, found benny; then we went to sit at the far left front row of the theatre. overall the performance was great, nj guitar ensemble played well and i respect them for being able to get german guitarists to come over to singapore to play too! jiaxian was talking about how some german guy was hot -_- after the performance was over, we met jin yong and rosemund, but jia ying alr left i think so we didnt get to meet her :( took a few photos, then jin yong left, and rosemund and her parents joined all of us to go mac to eat cause benny didnt eat his dinner yet. rosemund left halfway with her parents, but after that as we left too and walked to city hall mrt we met them halfway again lol. they left by green line though; the rest of us left by red line. alighted at bishan with jiaxian and zhi yong. went to interchange with zhi yong, realised one of the two buses i can take home no more liao, and the other one would only come in 12 minutes, i decided to walk home instead. reached home, bathe, pack up, and then went to sleep.
wow that was a long chunk of words.
time to do WR BYE

Siblings
So anyway, found out today who our next President would be. Honestly I don't really care about who becomes the president because Singapore will do just fine with or without a President, they just warn us about impending turmoils for our country in the future to scare the witless shitless so that they'll be good citizens and vote. And like some people who run for something, what ever we promise beforehand, we forget about it if we get elected. I still keep a copy of my EXCO Speech, and I'll go all out to complete what ever I promised to do whether they succeed or fail. It's ok. 6 years from now, at the age of 23, I can finally vote, and damn right I'll vote for the right person for the job. It's funny how people always complain about PAP, but once alone in the balloting room, they vote PAP.(i.e. my parents) Why? because people are afraid of change. Singapore really needs to open up their eyes (esp the older generation) and vote for the right person, not the person who would end up sitting on his fat ass collecting $4m a year for being an obedient puppet.
Ah whatever. Politics is just a load of shit. i'm very sure once my generation gets the right to vote, things will change.
Anyway since yesterday I talked about parents, it's time to talk about siblings. I am glad to have two older sisters who taught me a lot through out my life. I always did look up to them for advice since they've been through much more than me. Yeah sure, I often quarrel with my second sister because both our tempers are really bad, and we quarrel just about any trivial shit you can think of. Still whenever I get angry at her at times, like today we quarreled about something trivial again, and when I get frustrated and swear never to help her again when she needs my help, I still find myself helping her in the end whenever she needs my help. Ironic isn't it? But that's the way it'll be I guess. After all, in the near future, the only people you can ever depend on is your family. Still remember what my most treasured friend from ZHSS told me:
"If one day you were kidnapped, and the kidnapper takes your phone, who would he call for ransom? Your friends, or your family? Obviously your family. Why? Because friends can never replace the care and love your family members have for you. Would you expect your friends or your family members to turn up with all their money, just for you to be alive?"
I think many of us who have siblings face a problem of fostering close bonds with each other. It's only natural, since we spend most of our time in school and see our friends more often. But never forget who would truly come to your aid when you're at your most desperate moment. I always think that despite how much I quarrel with my sister, she's still my sister and I cannot change that, I might as well live happily by controlling my temper and giving in to her since she's facing much more shit than me rather than burst out in anger at her too. Even though I do feel unappreciated sometimes, I'm very sure there are times when she helps me but I do not appreciate it too. We're humans, we take things for granted. I hope that when the day comes when my hair turns grey and my senses fail me, I still have my sisters as my strong moral support, and I wish that we won't end up as siblings who only visit each other during Chinese New Year and never see each other until another year again. For my parents, if I consider from their point of view, they're also hurt too when they see their children quarrel with each other and not being close to each other when the grow up, each having their own independent lives devoid of any sibling love. I hope that isn't a path that me and my two sisters are taking.
Ok time to do Written Report. Going for the guitar concert tmr, quite excited :) need to econs essay, maths diff tutorial 3, and study for chem lecture test for wednesday. Will blog again tmr if I have the time :)

Parents
"Mum, I got 7 A1s and 1 B3. they just announced it to the whole school."
"WAH SON I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH"
"If I hadn't got 6 points, would you still love me?"
and that's what I said to my mum over the phone the day i got back my O level results.
It disgusted me, really. To base your love for your child because of his academic achievements is just wrong. It's no different from loving a robot that brings you pride. To see her boasting to all her relatives about my results, it made me think back on the time when I got back my PSLE results. I did worse than expected, and ever since my mum was shameful to have a son like me; unable to face her relatives. That shouldn't be the way, now that I think about it. A parent should love his/her child regardless of his success and failures. No, i'm not angry at my mum whatsoever. I'm thankful to have her as my mother, raising me up and disciplining me so strictly when I was a kid which moulded me to be who I am now. And like any other parents, they have their flaws. It's just that I find this a really major flaw, and I'm going to learn from it some day when I become a parent myself. I still remember the night before the day of the O level results, she said to me "aiya confirm will get double digit one." no encouragement or motivation, no pat in the back to say everything will be fine, no "don't worry i'm sure you'll do ok." Unlike my father who's more open and happy-go-lucky with me; my mother is a strict and cold parent. That's why whenever I talk to my mum the same way i talk to my dad, i end up irritating her and she would give me the cold shoulder, saying harsh things like "don't talk to me, you're not my son." yeah sure i may appear i don't give a damn and i am bo chap about it but it still does hurt me regardless of how old I am.
Anyway it doesn't matter. I'll just bear with this kind of shit until I can finally be independent. At least my dad still cares about me. My mum only knows how to complain about how she is so stressed and all when it is my dad who works his ass off, and i'm the one currently going through the hectic life of JC. So when she snaps at me out of anger, I snap back, because of all the tension I have from school work. I'm not complaining that I hate JC life or that I can't cope. I can. But it isn't easy if your mum isn't helping at all. I'm really sorry to my parents that I piss them off sometimes, it's not easy to be happy and cheerful when I get home from school everyday.
Time to do WR. Anyway my day was fine. Just that this was the only thing that bugs me.

A Cold Rainy Day at School
NO MY TITLE HAS NO LINK TO ANYONE WHATSOEVER
Woke up today to the silent pattering of rain from outside my window. Left for school quite early. When i reached it was still dark, cold and wet. Somehow during those days when the weather is rainy in the morning, i don't feel like talking, and i just want time alone to just listen to my own thoughts with the soft berating of endless rain in the background. Anyway upon reaching school, I walked around aimlessly without a care in the world. Somehow the weather really affects how I behave, especially in the morning. Met Gavin near the library benches and sat down with him to do tutorials. When the bell rang we left for class as assembly was cancelled.
I felt like singing the national anthem today so I sang it. It's strange because usually I don't sing it. The weather really changes me a lot :/ Slacked in class for a while before going to LT5 for chem and phy lecture. It was ok, learnt a lot for chem and finally understood superposition for phy. Chionged down to canteen when the bell rang with Benny, didn't feel like eating the usual western food order i normally make, fish fillet + 2 sausages + spaghetti. Instead I ordered egg and 1 sausage. Strange day. Like I said, the weather really makes me feel and act abnormally. I will start using the word strange for the sake of Gavin and avoid saying words like 'awesome' and 'like' which are over used and NO YUN YING ITS NOT A SPEECH WHATEVER THING. Oh yeah speaking about yun ying, as I walked with her to GP class from the canteen, I realised there was a hidden staircase behind the staircase we walked up, its behind that dark narrow staircase leading down to the canteen from the side of the hall. I never noticed it was there! Anyway i'm more buff than her.
GP was quite boring. Was quite dreary and tired of school and wanted it to end desperately. But I did find out from Benedict something damn funny. Glad that person got what it deserved. Then Chinese. It was quite interesting, talked crap with Nicholas Choo Yan Jia. I typed his full name in hopes that one day when he goes to jail for hacking the pentagon and some random dude googles his full name to research more about him they will find my blog and know how his teenage years were like :D After chinese we went to Raintree Cafe there to eat and cram physics. I bought a tuna puff. It was hot and tasty, warmed me up from the chilly wind. Nicholas Choo Yan Jia was talking about how Jun An doesn't usually call him Nic Choo when he actually does call him that quite often and then he went on about how a sec 1 guy from his sch had the same name as him and he was also called Nic Choo and some more crap i cant remember, the bell rang and we went to the phy lab near the haunted girls toilet store for our test. It was quite ok, doubt that i will fail. But i got a sucky feeling when I handed up the paper, I realised i didnt see a part of a question which asked "where does this maximum velocity occur?" which i forget to answer. Its that shitty feeling you get when you only realize your mistake just when the paper ends; the paper is right in your hands but you know you can't cheat because that would be against your conscience. So near yet so far, and you get that ARGGHHHH DAMN feeling.
And so the day concluded with the movie screening during GC. half the time i was loading runescape on gavin's laptop though lol. Miss the old times when I played runescape as a little kid and how I got so crazy over the game I reenacted the battles and attack style by making armour and weapons out of cardboard. I learnt something new from today though, that just like in any other relationship, there would always be quarrels and misunderstandings in friendship. After GC, i found out Jin Yong and Nicholas had a conflict. glad that they're ok now and settled their anger in the end. anyway just some advice to nic or to anyone out there, i once lost a friend in sec 2 because of my overwhelming passion for scouts that made me power hungry. and im still regretting it up till now, but i try to put everything in the past. everyone has their passion for something, and every one of us have evil thoughts inside of us that blinds us with jealousy, fear and irrationality, but don't ever let that overcome you, and always put people close to you above everything else that you pursue so you wont end up hurting them unknowingly. if we are all insensitive to our peer's feelings, then we're no different from the harsh world out there. when you grow up and look back at these conflicts that you had, you'll realize how immature and stupid you were. so before saying anything, always think about this before you talk: if i were that person, and you said this to me, how would I feel instead? it's strange that when we get hurt by someone's remarks or actions, we feel extremely angry and sad. yet when we pass remarks that hurt others, we don't feel a pang of guilt that we made someone go through the exact same hurtful feeling that we despise so much.
Nic, if you're reading this, hope you do change for the better. and oh yeah, sorry for all those times that i made you angry. i didnt mean it, but like what i said, often times we hurt others unintentionally. one of my flaws is that i irritate my friends too much, i used to have this problem too in sec sch. so i guess everyone has their flaws. anyway im glad you resolved the problem with jin yong peacefully like a true man :) respect you for that man. and treasure the 8 year friendship you have with him; trust me, it's hard to find friends like him nowadays.
yep so that's all i have to say about today's events.
glad that the holidays are finally here, but need to start studying for promos. looking forward to post promo activities already!
to end off, i've been listening to chinese songs recently, and i really like this song :D

A Day At School
Today was a fun day. Partly because there was no econs tutorial today!
so econs and maths lecture ok. during break i ate yong tau foo and laughed like crazy because after econs lecture i stole Rosemund's bag and me and Leon pretended that I dropped her umbrella halfway while escaping from her. I think im damn bad for teasing her as being a Y _ _ _ _ haha. and she took my phone during the break and tried to steal my bag!
Then we ate with Mr Lee and we talked and laughed as usual, really happy to be with my class :)
after that we had PW. PW was good, we managed to discuss a lot! looking forward to our interview/survey next thursday, and next thursday is also be yourself day, me and ian are gonna wear our zhonghua uniform to nj!! hah and i cant wait to see nicholas wear short pants, it'll look really
then we had maths. finally finished maclaurin's BMQ, now im at tutorial. and i learnt how to do the tutorial questions through mr lee's lesson, he's a great teacher. but towards the end i went behind to watch gavin play battle on, and i am reminded of my childhood days spent playing battle on and runescape like an addict.
after maths ended, leon, jun an, zhi yong, gavin and I went to play soccer. It was fun especially when the 11SH11 guys and some other soccer guys joined us, really enjoyed the game even though i got really tired and felt like collapsing. havent ran long distance for very long, thats why my endurance really sucks now.
then before the dance we played basketball with other guys for a while, and jun an dislocated his knee cause he fell while jumping for the ball, so he had to rest while the rest of us dance. Hope he is ok and will recover soon so he can walk properly :) the dance was fun, but i kept getting dizzy. after PE ended, went to buy drink with gavin and zhi yong, then sat with our class to cool down and talk. after that waited at the bus stop for 156, boarded it, came home, on the com, and i started writing this post.
so that's my summarized life in a day.
i think i'll start this habit of writing what ever that has happened everyday in my life whenever i come home, since the memory of the day's events would still be clear to me. That way, many years from now when my memory fails me, I can read about all these past experiences I had in life. Even though daily life events may seem trivial, one has to treasure all these precious memories, if not it's too late to regret in the future. People around me can also read my posts many years from now, to know that in some way or another, they have been a part of my life.
Before I end, here's a picture of a very meaningful keychain one of my close friends have.

Reviving My Blog
Hello blog.
It has been a long time.
Anyway I'm still alive for those of you who thought I was dead. I'm still Joshua. Only slightly older, slightly taller and slightly matured.
Well how do I start? What do I say after 7 months of bloglessness, who do I talk about, should I talk about past events or the present? So much has happened in a matter of 7 months.
In 7 months,
I made lots of friends.
I also made friends whom aren't typical JC friends.
Throughout this 7 months, I began exploring the true meaning of friendship. In sec school, I always thought that my friends were true friends, and I have always been warned about how JC friends are fair weather friends and they can't be trusted and everyone is competitive and if you let your guard down you would be stepped over and a hell lot of other bullshit which I chose not to believe it.
Who are these friends? They know who they are. I don't have to declare what's obvious to those who are close to me. I treasure every single second I can in this short span of two years to foster closer bonds; maybe that's why I hate missing school. I like my class and my CCA, and that's enough to make me happy. Sure, that may seem so trivial to you; but the environment that you are in greatly affects everything about you; happiness, results, motivation, etc. Think about the last time you felt awkward around a group of people. Now imagine, what if that were your class for two whole years? It would seem like complete torment to endure being unable to socialize with anyone in class and not to enjoy any laughter or happiness with your class. The same goes for CCA. I always feel that it is through the similar determined and fun-loving spirit that OACians have that make me bond so well with everyone in that CCA, and I am always thankful for that. We only have two years, no, less than two years in fact. We might as well make the most out of it and leave this school when we graduate with no regrets and no conflict. I have learned from my mistakes made a year ago. 11SH17 and OAC, you may not know it, but because of all of you, I finally get to express my true self. Yeah, all this while since Sec 2, I've been wearing a mask. I became quiet. I couldn't be who I wanted to be: hyper active, loud, crazy, high, childish but at the same time sensitive and mature in my thinking. So that highlights my point: getting a compatible environment to live in would greatly improve your life.
Next, have you ever heard someone saying:
"JC LIFE SUCKS" or "the other JCs have __________ but my jc dont have"
or what ever complains you hear about JC. Yeah I agree too, being a JC student, its not easy. I complain too; i'm only human. But sometimes we just have to live with it and be happy. We have to find that something in JC that makes us happy to motivate us, rather than dwell on all the negative feelings we have towards JC. For me, I find happiness in climbing. I love climbing. but strangely i don't find myself telling my friends "I love climbing a lot, i'm so glad NJ has climbing, i'm really thankful that there is a rock wall provided in NJ." No. you'll never hear that. People only remember the bad things. Just like how if you dont screw up for Maktab duty, nobody will ever remember you or how you look like. but just screw up big time once, and people remember your face, find out your name, point at you and say to their friends "thats the screw up parade commander" Sadly, this is something about humans that we cannot change, and yet when we think about it, we realise how f-ed up our character really is.
Its getting late. Need to go do my homework. Will talk more tomorrow if I have the time, will try to keep this blog alive.
Anyway before I end of, let me ask whoever you are that is reading this:
in what ever new school you are in, can you name more than 7 really true and close friends to you?
if you can, then you're really lucky.
most people in JC can't.
including me.
