seriously. the airport changed alot since i last came inside here.. which aint long since it was only slightly more than a year ago that i last flew. lolz. and i am officiallly pissed with the keyboard.. i cant type 3 words without making a typo and having to backspace everything and retype.. only to restart the whole cycle again.

MInutes before my flight and i am still not really sure bout like going it.. I an happy and grateful and excited and everything for the trip but yeah... coming back with only 13days left kinda Sucks.. haha. Sian. gonna be missing out on so much back here while I will be there... haha.

typing this nnxt to dome angmoh who is usin gfacebook.. haha. random i noe.. haha. just thought he was interesting cos of the huge bag he was carrying.. haha. and that big bottle of water at the side.. and if liquids are not allowed on the plane and he is not allowed to por it away.. i dunno what he will do with it..

haha. nth else.

so till nxt time...

Taking off

Exams are over i am living the life i have been dreaming of.. going out everyday and playing and read nothing but story books i enjoy.. in fact.. i dun even read much now. cept for stardust by Neil Gaiman.. of which i think the novel is much better than the movie..

For a moment yesterday, i suddenly felt aimless and lost.. suddenly studying was out of my life for a little while.. something i have did ever since i was born.. from the repeated tracing of ABCs and 123s to the problem sums of PSLE to the introduction of calculators in O levels and Graphic calculators in A levels.. I am not much of a mugger cept for the past 6 mths but yeah.. never have studies been so unimportant.. Guess this somehow shows the weakness of the Singapore Education system.. we have been studying far too hard.. dunno.. i am enjoying it though.. since i only have 15 days of hols not counting my trip, i wanna make the most out of it.. and for my novel i am writing.. i have came out with somewhat of another random chapter in it. the first one i wrote being the one about the race for the one day throne. shall write it in random order and one day perhaps string all of it together into my novel after further editing.

not publishing it here cos i guess its not ready yet.. and i have a meeting to catch.. so yeah.. thats for that..

flying off tonight so if an atom bomb fell on Singapore, a Tsunami hit Pasir Ris, or someone developed certain mutant powers, you may contact me via Email of if needed, the PRC police.

yeah.

till nxt time then..

will blog if possible

A-over.

It began as a distant thunder, rolling across the heavens with a storm warning's clamor.
It swells to envelop the firmament jn a grand exclamation.
It climaxes with the stentorian bark of an angry god.
It then retreats in the same subtle fashion with which it arrived,
leaving in its wake- the brightest day.



yeah. with the shading of 'c' as my final answer to my final question (dun talk about it, i am still unsure bout 50% of my qns), A levels have ended for me and many of my friends. I'm still in some kind of shock currently.. like the feeling nothing has changed but the feeling nothing is ever the same anymore. so though this is the 200 posts by counting.. it is not actually so cos my 1st posts is a link back to emperorofhuang.blogspot.com so yeah.... nxt post will be longer..

For now.. let those whose A levels are over like mine.. enjoy.. those whom still have a few papers to go.. work hard.. and soon you will enjoy too.

Never again.

Never again, will i have to wait at the bus stop in the rain, only to watch 4 no.27 buses zoom pass, while my no.53 is no where to be seen.
Never again, will i have to pack on the bus like sardines, only to hear irritated sounds made by my fellow sardines.
Never again, will i have to play FM, only to feel guilty and shut it off.
Never again, need i travel to the library, only to get reprimanded by the librarians who just feel that i am destroying the library.
Never again, will i need to wake up in a flurry of notes all around me, to know where everything is but not know where anything is.
Never again, need i hear the morning news abroad my Toyota Altis, to hear the presenters view west ham as nothing and unimportant.
Never again, will i start to dream, only for nightmares of exams to overwhelm them.
Never again, will i stop to rest, only to hear the whip of guilt crack at me, pushing me to study harder.
Never again, will i enter my fantasies, only to get jolted out by the thunderclap of the mugging enforcers.
Never again, will i need to rush home at night, only to see no dinner on the table.

Never again, after tomorrow....

till tomorrow. and post 200.

Over the hill

Finished what is possibly my final ever econs case study yesterday by 4.15. And goodbye Mr Keynes and your little economic slaves, never am i going to slave over econs notes, drawing diagrams that hardly make sense, writing about stuff that obviously i will have no part in doing.. 'Imagine you are a economist for Singapore'... yeah.. you're having a laugh.. Econs could have been fun if i had my way in setting the questions.. imagine.. how boring can a subject be with superb quotes such as 'money is what money does' and Timbergen's rule, which states that 'if you have two questions, you need two answers'... but instead of testing us on such cool stuff, we have to memorise the rest of the boring parts.. and excruciatingly vomit them out during the exam... but thank god... that is something of the past already..

And with the passing of econs, my A levels are soon to be over. and as i heave a sigh of relieve.. suddenly some kind of emptiness surges up inside me.. what next? it seemed to ask.. what directly after A's? what during NS? where after NS? but those i guess.. are questions i will tackle after 80 more mcqs from physics n chem.. And now as the day of freedom approaches... dunno.. where was the enthusiasm i felt for this freedom barely months ago?

Anyway.. after econs ytd went eat with the class.. yeah. quite shiok.. long time since a class gathering like that.. it was fun.. and dear old morpheus... how happy am i to lay my hands around you again... haha.. like a knight freed from a dungeon.. i regained.. my sword... haha.

nth much else...

2 hrs more to go...

Sick again

what is a season without an injury crisis, a movie without some trouble before the grand climax.. And what is A levels if i didnt get sick right smack in the middle of it.. Yes. I am once again. Sick.

But that doesnt stop me.. If West Ham could put 5 pass Derby with 11 players out, or the entire first team out, so can i find that last bit of power needed to see me through A levels.. yeah..

So.. Econs.. You are going down..

In 5 days... just 5 more days... haha..

Nth much more.. till nxt time.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

lolz. just a few screenshots from my most recent FM games.. yeah. currently in my 3rd season and is experiencing the usual 3rd season slump.. but still doing fine though.. not unbeatable.. but good.

Witness one of those things that just kinda make my day at the library just now... some china woman argued with a singaporean man.. haha. it was damn funny and it attracted my attention.. haha. seriously, the 'rules and regulations' are obviously for reference only and should not be taken seriously.. or that seriously.. i mean if someone's bag is already on a chair, obviously the seat is theirs, i mean is it that difficult to seat at the couch for a while, chill out and wait for a seat? i mean you are not mugging for A levels man!. Stupid china woman. haha. shout so loudly summore.. haha.

Back to my room.. and perhaps the books.

Wk 2 roundup.

Well. week 2 is a week of mixed fortunes for me. Chem was at best do-able as i completed just in time with many uncertainties here and there due to a lack of time to check. not even time to flip through my answers. Maths was a totally different story with too much time left.

Went out yesterday with zhou, reub, ran, jon, and hoe. Joined by Yan Hong and Wanlin on the way. and ate at billy bombers.. haha. den after that chill around talk rubbish n play psp.. haha. in which zhou was greatly amused by me teaching him how to use the tank cheat..

sian.. nth much else. back to mugging.

The race for the one day throne.

[update 4/11 7.50pm] added a few stuff here and there and edited the story slightly. Should write a story book someday consisting of all these stories i write.

Time: 9.50
The motley crew of knights, mages, mercenaries, peddlers, traders, beggars, minstrels, nobles have been slowly gathering for more than half an hour now, and the crowd is getting noisier at the moments, with caravans and carriages still approaching every minute bringing with them princes and princesses of faraway lands to the encampment.

'Why are we here', A lone knight asked amidst the buzzing crowd.

'Haven you heard, at exactly 3 minutes to 10 everyday, the magical doorway over there opens, promising rewards beyond ones imagination if one could find it.' A passing hunchback shouted.

'And also, haven you heard of the thrones of the fhird storey? Legend says that he who sits on one of the 20 thrones at the range of thrones would share rule over the land for the day.' A songstress added in a singsong voice, plucking her harp.

All around the valley, The knights sharpening their swords, traders peddling their wares, everyone seemed busy, but from time to time, you could see everyone stealing a glance at the doorway and at others on the valley, fearing that a moments loss may put them behind the others in the rush for the treasure.

And as time slowly ticked away, everyone got more and more restless. The most restless of them already pacing forward and backwards around the door, while others were looking in from a distance, like a hunter stalking his prey, near but not in direct view at the door. Even the calmest nobles could be seen asking their servants to check at the door from time to time.

And as seconds ticked further away, and the silent servants of the mystery ruler of the realm of the garden is seen, everyone stopped their preparations and gathered round the gate. Awaiting the moment of breakthrough. everyone was nervous as tensions rose. In the first row, Knights and Nobles stood gallantly, with the occasional centaur in their midst, having a certain clairvoyant face as though he already knew he would win the treasure. Slightly behind, mages and wizards stood, stern faced, as though deep in concentration, preparing their first spells to claim their first kills in their hunt. Just behind them stood the traders, peddlers, artists and performers, still asking around for one last deal before they enter the mystic lands. And at the furthest back stood the theives, rogues and beggars, stabbing each other and pushing in a bid to get further forward.

And the glass doors slid open. And if there was any clue of chilvary and gallantry before, there was none now. Soldiers and Knights alike charge for the treasure, every man for himself. It was not a pretty scene. Those who slipped on the climb was left behind, trampled over by the chasing pack. The leaders too were not having a good time, with the pack behind pushing for greater and greater altitudes. And in minutes, the chase was over. The quick footed and the agile have got the thrones, and the rest have to rest with a seat at their feets. Abdication and conquering of the thrones does take place, but rarely and often after many an hour. Wars are also fought between these new kings and queens ranging from small scale military operations, to full scale battles. But for now, the dust is settled and the lands distributed, and the world is peaceful. For now.

And that is the exact situation in front of the library everyday. Ok. i have exaggerated a little. But yeah. you get the picture.

especially today. today was bad. haha. all seats were taken before the second wave.. luckily i am chiongster king..haha..

nth much else.. have chem to mug for.. haha.
Maths yesterday was sorta easy. with most coming out worrying about the bell curve instead of the number of marks one got. yeah. and hopefully. paper 2 will be easy as well.

So 8 more exam days to go but 3 wks left to the end of a levels. cant wait. breaking free...
Thks for the afternoon
sian.. back to the books..

till nxt time..
