It's 9:39pm, local time, and I am currently feeling bored. The sky's dark, the night's cold and I've got nothing to do. The links on my web browser are blogs, mouse hunt, pet society, youtube and more facebook. I took a quiz on facebook and it says that I'm 76% bored. I bet I'm more than that. Fortunately I have people to talk to on MSN and SMS, or else I would have rot to death right now. I have a lot of homework undone - physics, maths, chinese - and I need to get them done. Next week's going to be a busy week (I think). Somehow it feels that the world is in such a great crisis... but nevermind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, amidst this H1N1 pandemic, I hope that the government seriously considers to close school for a week or two. Currently there are like over 100 confirmed cases for H1N1 in Singapore? And there's like probably a few suspected locally transmitted cases? So we should like close schools for awhile and do e-learning! And that one week can be used to do homework too! I'm like in desperate need for discipline to complete my homework.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm currently listening to Nobody again. I think I'm addicted. Okay, I just opened Microsoft Word, and saw my Chinese ATT. (Yes, Stephanie, read this!) I'm going to faint at the sight of those complex characters! I can't bring myself to even read it! But in the course of tonight and tomorrow, I shall attempt to complete it. I need discipline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, and I say goodbye now. I think I'm going to complete my Chinese ATT (or at least try to do a little) then after that if I have the mood I'll come back and post (unlikely)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gooooooodbye! :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-935959847270595494?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/935959847270595494/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/nobody-nobody-but-chu.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/935959847270595494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/935959847270595494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/nobody-nobody-but-chu.html' title='nobody nobody but chu!'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-1366667007005216381</id><published>2009-06-18T18:06:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T19:33:56.790+08:00</updated><title type='text'>adventure camp!</title><content type='html'>Okay, I'm back from Adventure Camp! :O Yeah, so, I was wondering whether I should post everything out... but considering I might not be able to remember anything and coupled by the fact that I am too lazy to type a few thousand words... I shall try to keep this as short as possible. And just say what I want to say... without details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, so I guess Adventure Camp was good. Not exactly great, but good. Uhh, yeah, I guess things start to get better as camp progresses? Cos at the start we (or at least I) was like, "What!? We're gonna spend three more days here!?" or something. Yeah, but this feeling starts to go away as the days pass by. And it's a weird thing when I reach home that... actually camp wasn't that bad after all. It was that camp was actually kinda fun. Yeah, I sort of miss camp... but I guess I miss home more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so stuff we did like abseiling, flying fox, the high elements stuff... yeah, I won't be the kind of person to do these kinda stuff. Yeah, but somehow faith works wonders. When I was like on the top of these places, I was like telling myself to have faith. And yes, faith does work wonders. I guess the first step is always the hardest to take! And yeah, for me Flying Fox was like the hardest but it was kinda fun. Cos it feels like you were practising for a suicide attempt or something. But as you glide down, you "feel weightless" (that's what I shouted on the way down!) For abseiling the first step was hard to take too. For that CRC thing, the hardest thing was to look down. So I don't think I looked down for most times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food wasn't too good at the start, but it got better as camp progressed too? And I'm not sure why... but I sleep kinda well for the whole camp! Managed to fall asleep as soon as 10 to 15 minutes. Also I won't wake up till morning for most days! Oh yeah... and we washed the toilet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, our instructor was great. At least his words made sense, and set me thinking. He might not have been perfect, but he was a great instructor in my opinion. Yeah, and we did "Nobody" for our Campfire performance!? And now the songs stuck in my head! Oh, and choir members kept singing choir songs during the camp! Wow, I'm like crazy about choir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so concluding this I think I have learnt a lot during the entire course of this camp. They are important life lessons, and I will remember them. Stuff like initiative, teamwork and faith. I have learnt a lot more. So, yes, camp was good. In fact, now that I have organised my thoughts well enough, camp was actually quite fun, yes. But now that I'm back home (and connected to the entire world again) I feel that I didn't know what was going on around the world for the past three to four days! And I'm too lazy to read four days worth of news!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, because I'm back home, I have to start on my homework again! Gosh! I have to like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Attempt Physics TYS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Complete Chinese ATT&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do Maths Homework&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Ahh! Physics TYS is hard, most aren't related to the textbook! So, I guess the word "attempt" is there for a reason... and I shall attempt and fail at answering the questions. (Till now I have only been able to solve one question.) And Chinese ATT is also as hard, I need to complete it ASAP! And maths... I don't know if I will even be able to start trying the questions out. But I really really need to start doing maths, or else my maths grade will die in the next semester. Apart from these, I really have to start progressing on my reading up before the term starts! Otherwise I won't be able to catch up and I have to be able to catch up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yes, and this post is getting lengthy although I wanted to do a really fast one! So I shall end right here. Say goodbye! And I hope I'll have the time to post more when I can. :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-1366667007005216381?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/1366667007005216381/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/adventure-camp.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/1366667007005216381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/1366667007005216381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/adventure-camp.html' title='adventure camp!'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-3572549358990851605</id><published>2009-06-14T21:51:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-14T22:35:45.914+08:00</updated><title type='text'>adieu!</title><content type='html'>Yes, Adieu (Sweet Amaryllis?)!

I just wish for something to happen. I wish... some things could be the same as how it was last year again. Yes, that's all I can say... I really have no courage to say some things out no matter how much I want to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yeah, I'll blog something on Saturday/Sunday before leaving for Adventure Camp on Monday!

Right now I'm virtually brain dead! Okay, holidays are actually going at a very very good pace. I've been able to do stuff I can't usually do during school periods. It's as if my life became more meaningful, yeah. Wow, but I'm still far away from my ideal productive yet relaxing holidays. It's like... I need to start doing real stuff. Oh and I have to read up everything before the school term starts, and I need to complete my maths! I need to create a timetable for my whole term so I don't screw up. Yes, I shall draw up my six months plan so that my next half a year shall be a good year. But for the rest of the holidays I hope I can complete all my homework, do better at maths, improve my English and Chinese, read all my textbooks. And do some very important stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I don't know what to say any more! There's adventure camp next week and I'm not sure if I can complete what I wanted to do! But oh well, it has been a good holiday so far, though not as productive! Yay, goodbye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm I wonder...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bye! :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-8598920286934446733?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/8598920286934446733/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/hello-holidays.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/8598920286934446733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/8598920286934446733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/hello-holidays.html' title='hello holidays!'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-5981926714140746056</id><published>2009-06-03T22:02:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-03T22:42:50.271+08:00</updated><title type='text'>did that happen to you</title><content type='html'>Okay, so for the past two days I have been having choir. Dancing "All For One", and it sure is tiring. Holidays have so far been kind of slack. Not intending to do homework just yet (until Friday, when I don't have to go to school for awhile... hopefully). And yeah, I really have a feeling I must work triply hard during the holidays, or else I wouldn't even end up in a good class next year! (And have you realised all my posts is all about studying, etc?) Yeah, so I really hope I can get things done in this holidays, not only academic, but &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;many many things&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile here's a quiz since I don't really have much to blog about!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Did that Happen to You? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Rules:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1. Answer the questions as honestly and creatively as possible.&lt;br /&gt;2. Post this as "Did That Happen To You?"&lt;br /&gt;3. Tag 10 friends.&lt;br /&gt;4. Everyone tagged has to do the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;5. Have Fun!!!&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. What do you do if you are in the bathroom with a beetle flying around?&lt;br /&gt;Stare at the beetle and trace where it's going... and the outcome will either be 1) I will be unable to track the beetle, and thus lose sight of it, and pretend nothing has happened (hope the beetle thinks so too) 2) the beetle got irritated and left the bathroom (unlikely)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Do I make sense?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What do you do if you hear a song you like playing on the radio when you are all alone in the room?&lt;br /&gt;Sing along with the radio?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. You want to speak to your crush badly. What is your line?&lt;br /&gt;"Sooooo... how's life?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. What do you do if all your friends hate a particular brand that you love?&lt;br /&gt;Persuade them that the brand I like is better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. What do you do when you trip and fall in front of many people?&lt;br /&gt;Say "Ouch!" and laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. You forgot to do your multiple-choice question homework and your class starts in 5 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;"Ahhhhh! Who can let me copy (insert subject) homework!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. You have bad breath and someone speaks to you. How do you react?&lt;br /&gt;Try to bear the smell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. You just finished gym and after a shower, you drop your underpants on the wet floor. What do you do?&lt;br /&gt;Wear it? (This won't happen since I don't go to the gym...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. What do you do if a personality quiz says that you have a lousy personality as your result?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;s&gt;Do a reliability test based on provenance, content, tone and purpose&lt;/s&gt; Accept it, and change for the better, hopefully. Or just be myself. Either ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Your friend gave you the worst gift you have ever received and asks: Do you like it? How do you react?&lt;br /&gt;"Thanks!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. (Continued from question 10) What are you really thinking secretly inside?&lt;br /&gt;Well, it's the thought that counts...?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. A hot guy/girl keeps looking at you while you are on the bus. What are you secretly thinking inside?&lt;br /&gt;"Why am I being stared at!?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. Your crush and you are eating dinner together, the food you've ordered came first, eat, or wait?!&lt;br /&gt;Comment on the food's appearance, on the food's smell, on the food's texture, and they say, "Boy, I sure wish I knew how the food tasted like!" and then start eating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. You are alone in your house and you realized that there is a burglar. What do you do?&lt;br /&gt;Phone the police, phone my parents, phone everyone I know. Watch the burglar closely. Hold a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;very very&lt;/span&gt; dangerous weapon in my hand, and confront the burglar. Strike a conversation. Await the police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. What do you do when your best friend had just spoilt your favourite one and only camera with all the important photos you cherished inside?&lt;br /&gt;"Sigh... I guess everything happens for a reason?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. What do you do if you break your friend's favourite vase but he or she didn't see it?&lt;br /&gt;I'll tell him/her I broke it and then go search for an exactly identical replica of the vase for him/her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. What do you do if you saw a cat chasing a mouse?&lt;br /&gt;Stare in awe, 'cos it's such a rare occasion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. You missed your favourite TV show and it was the season finale. What do you do?&lt;br /&gt;Watch it on YouTube.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. There is a clash in your schedule, one is your friend's wedding, the other is your another friend's last day of funeral. What will you do?&lt;br /&gt;Attend the wedding first, being &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;really really&lt;/span&gt; happy for the couple. And then have a sudden mood swing and attend the funeral, crying &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;really really&lt;/span&gt; hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohh, this was a crazy quiz. I gotta be in school by 8am tomorrow and reach back home only in late evening, so I guess I'll end this post right now to head off to sleep! And I wish something would happen. Or maybe not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, goooooodbye!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-5981926714140746056?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/5981926714140746056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/did-that-happen-to-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/5981926714140746056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/5981926714140746056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/06/did-that-happen-to-you.html' title='did that happen to you'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-1338809198702122561</id><published>2009-05-30T22:36:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-31T00:32:05.204+08:00</updated><title type='text'>opening another chapter</title><content type='html'>Hello I'm back to my blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Holidays? Yay, I have long been anticipating the holidays, but now that the holidays are here, it doesn't seem that anticipated anymore! It's so ironic! When school gets busy, we want a slower life, we want the holidays to come. And when the holidays actually come, life gets so slow, you want school to come faster! (Or is it just me!?) But somehow it's a good thing, cos you at least have something to look forward to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I think I shall enjoy the holidays first. There seems to be not much homework this june holidays! I shall post the homework:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chinese ATT&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To Kill A Mockingbird Project&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Biology Theory Workbook (Page numbers I didn't note)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Physics TYS Electricity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Maths: Shinglee &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="gtbmisp_7" style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; font-family: serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; font-size: 100%; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; position: static; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; text-align: left; text-indent: 0pt; text-transform: none; color: red; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(Lots)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;It seems quite little, I think. Uhh yeah okay. So this holidays I shall promise myself (like every other holiday, and I really hope I can do it this time) to read everything up on the next semester before term 3 begins. And I guess there is a lot I can read to improve on languages. And I shall have my maths improved too. :D Yeah. And many more I shan't say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So results are out. :O I think I should be rather satisfied with my subjects (other than maths and chinese). My average percentage, class position and level position isn't really good. But I guess with the results, I am satisfied. My Maths and Chinese pulled down my average. And to get to the top again, there are these two subjects to work on. And yeah, I think I looked at this "failure" quite optimistically...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well enough of results. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need optimism to surge through the world again. :O (random)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh wow look at the time. I shall end the post now!

But trust me, I have read half of many books... (E.g. Page 40-something of Brida). Just reminds me of the fact that... half of the people who buy books don't get past the first chapter? :O Yeah, but I think I'd spend this holidays reading more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of books... I need to read something. :O Something that will boost my morale, and change my life, or something like that. :O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Two silk worms had a race... they ended up in a tie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah and we're going through test papers this Wednesday! Is that good? I don't think so. After all I've already done the papers... and yeah, I can't actually do anything about it.

Secondly, it's the end of (my) Mid-Years because I'm doomed to fail the whole thing. Since I have not updated anything for quite a long time, I shall do a very quick summary of the whole 7 days of MYE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had too little points for English summary (and the passages were all related to India?), and my composition has a possibility of being out of point. I screwed up Chinese (as always) because I wrote the wrong format for gong han, and the comprehensions were hard! For history, I didn't write a similarity for comparison because I couldn't find one. For science, I guess my whole data-based question for physics is screwed, but at least (I think) my biology and chemistry will be able to cover up for the loss of one trillion marks in my physics paper? Had totally no time to check my whole Lit essay, and I think I wrote too many irrelevant points. My maths paper is totally hopeless, lost so many marks... And MT Listening Comprehension, was totally screwed up too because the options were so close.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we're left with D&amp;amp;T tomorrow! For this last paper, I hope I don't screw anything up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not having high hopes for Semester 1 already. Although I don't want to have too low hopes either.

Composition &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;seemed&lt;/span&gt; like a breeze because I wrote the same composition I wrote last night for fun.

Mugged for four hours. However only managed to study physics. Still, it is a good start. Wishing that my Mid-Years could change the whole fate of my report book. If I don't do well for Mid-Years, I'd probably have all Bs and Cs plus failures in my report book. Anyways I don't have high expectations of what my report book would look like for this semester. I think my term 1 is screwed. But I have these 3 more terms to change everything. So, I'd just give it my all. I shall mug for the rest of my lives until the mid-years are over - in my sleep, on the bus, during recess. Okay, maybe not that much, I still want to have a good night's sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahh.. to stop myself from saying too much over here and not going on with my mugging, I shall quickly end this post after this very short (not) paragraph about filming biology project:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OMG (Our Mouth and Gullet)! We felt like a crew on a tour to a faraway island to film some documentary. Stephanie's house looks like it's not Singapore-style, it looks so European. Trust me. And we were eating rice at her balcony. It was so quiet, you can even hear the wind blow in. And that was the first rain in many days of hot 38 degrees celcius burning sun. Yeah but it felt like we were overseas. And then we were so "professional" in filming. Shutting the windows?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so what can you infer from Source A?

Chinese Oral was a total disaster. Totally didn't recognise half the passage. Okay, I'm exaggerating things but... I couldn't recognise like five words and that's bad enough okay. Although I randomly crapped some pronounciations and got them right. Conversation was totally screwed. I had zero eye contact with the teacher. And I realised I have a tendency to look at some far away objects while thinking of things to say to the teacher. Perpetually stuck at end of sentences where I don't know how to end them off due to some lousy Chinese vocabulary I have (if even existent). Wow at least the teacher likes my sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And somehow it's super sad that there is no choir until like three weeks later or something. All thanks to mid-years. Which I haven't really mugged for. But will. I promise. Realised the fact that I am trying to learn the entire semester's maths syllabus in this one to two weeks. Plus I can't stand it already. Everyone is like mugging now. Mugging season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay next. I finally understood by what it means when people say that even if you failed, at least you tried. I finally understood how relieving it is to try and even though fail there's that feeling that you have done your best, and maybe things aren't just going to happen. Everything happens for a reason? Which is probably why I should start trying for a few certain things. Hmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are they waiting for each other to happen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am starting to believe I should get more involved in religion already. I mean I don't know why either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything goes full circle. Wow. Same feelings, same time of the year, same reaction. Yet... it feels so different. Because it is. And will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After talking (typing) so much, I guess I got to go sleep! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodbye!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-811830073383786870?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/811830073383786870/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/things-go-in-this-loop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/811830073383786870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/811830073383786870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/things-go-in-this-loop.html' title='things go in this loop'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-8961772150367731797</id><published>2009-04-23T22:11:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-23T22:30:10.167+08:00</updated><title type='text'>华语谁怕谁？我怕你。</title><content type='html'>这应该是我第一次用华文写博客&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;若我用错了字，请原谅我。。。 我是快捷华文的学生。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今天和平常不一样。。。 没那么多功课。 终于可以早睡了！因为明天是华语口试， 所以在博客上用华语。你知道，用华语真的很难表到我所要说的话。真是好烦！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;考试要到了。。 今天刚刚复习了历史。 新加坡历史的确很没趣！只有什么李光耀先生，等。但是别的国家他们历史就很丰富。。。 例如苏联？哈哈。　&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（写博客比周记难了许多！）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我就到此停笔。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再见。　&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-8961772150367731797?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/8961772150367731797/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/8961772150367731797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/8961772150367731797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-post.html' title='华语谁怕谁？我怕你。'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-1463334440316399491</id><published>2009-04-21T22:38:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T22:54:42.695+08:00</updated><title type='text'>bound to meet!?</title><content type='html'>Hello! :D I'm just taking a few minutes off to randomly post a little before I head off to sleep!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hello Shawn.

I really have to pay attention for every lesson. I probably already screwed up the first half of my sec two life. Sigh. Mid-Year is in 15 days. And apparently I'm not feeling any urgency for it.

As you can see, I've changed my blogskin! Haha, haven't really been blogging nowadays. Yeah, but from now I guess I'd make a promise to blog as frequent as possible. Also, (some of) my links are probably already outdated, so, tag me to inform, yeah? Guess I'd also have to make tag replies, although I think halfway I'd stop or something. Changed my blogskin 'cos my previous skin is probably too loud for me to actually want to blog (Lol?), and I think this skin looks nice. I think in some way I am a perfectionist in many ways. For example, I take years to choose a blogskin! But this one was fast, caught my eye the moment I saw it! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's just do a quick review of the week (This means I'll be blogging things like seven days ago!?)! Homecoming Day (one week ago -.-) was fun, I guess. Totally felt different from the previous year, but still, somehow having fun and being with friends was more important.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uhh, okay, fast-forward, the previous week wasn't really anything!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm.. okay, projects are coming to an end... although new ones are starting, but let's not talk about that! Project Work seems to be almost complete, just need one rehearsal and then it'll be over. Music ATT seems half complete, well the most difficult part - the video - hasn't been completed, and I guess I'll be burning the midnight oil doing that tomorrow night! Biology and Chinese projects... hmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Move on! After reading a book about some studying hard thing, I think I shall work hard. I think I'll have to come up with a study schedule next weekend and really stick to it. Probably start on notes so much earlier 'cos there's so much I just don't understand and need to know. So I'm gonna work hard... I promise. Mid-Years in 3 weeks or something!? (That's soon... I just realised...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next random topic. You know... there are some people that just don't understand certain things you say, or actually catch the hint you are trying to convey. Who completely do not empathise with what you say, and absolutely not care what we say. Who makes up excuses, tell blatant lies and makes up more excuses. o.o  It's probably not you if you're reading this =) LOL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next! I realised that what goes around, really really comes around. It's some law in the universe that I have seen for myself. So I guess I shall be a better person from now onwards! Lol!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also I have completely lost hope in something. o.o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SYF is in less than 3 days! It feels so exciting. Kind of. And it feels like so many things. Good luck choir for SYF! :D Gold with Honours! There's one more practice on Tuesday before the real thing... so good luck! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And after a rather long and random post, I think I shall stop here and go for my dinner. Somehow I feel the tone for this post is like seriously rushing. There's school tomorrow, and somehow I'm looking forward to school (for once, in how many weeks)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... goodbye!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-8707660251893730269?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/8707660251893730269/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/all-i-needed-to-blog-for-week.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/8707660251893730269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/8707660251893730269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/04/all-i-needed-to-blog-for-week.html' title='all i needed to blog for a week!'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-3927711314646157230</id><published>2009-04-01T22:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-12T18:25:05.665+08:00</updated><title type='text'>in two days</title><content type='html'>In two days...

O:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right. Hmm... realised that there is a lot I realised throughout this entire week. Mr Tan made especial sense on that matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If it was my last time teaching this student, I don't want him or her to remember me as a teacher who last scolded him/ her, a teacher that doesn't believe in dreams."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I remember setting rules on my first day of class, but the most important rule is that we must encourage one another."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"MOE tries to mould students into this certain box."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sometimes, in Singapore we are so busy that, we forgot what are the most important things in our life. Life is not just about scoring your A1s. "&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His words made so much sense. My life will be changed by his words, somehow, to a certain extent. Yeah, there are more important things in life. And... seriously, if we were gonna be friends with someone for one last day, surely we do not want to leave them with a bad impression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But... sometimes it's easier being the bad guy. So, sometimes I wish I was the bad guy. Just for some time. (Although this sounds so contradicting to whatever I said previously...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, so let's treasure life right now. And everyone around us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, let me talk about other stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Choir workshop at Ngee Ann Secondary today. From where we stood it didn't quite sound right. But from what the conductors said... we weren't that bad, were we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SYF in... 18 days! (17 days, in 15 minutes time.) Let's work hard too, haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all electrical appliances in my house were shut off during Earth Hour today! Apparently, my neighbourhood wasn't that environmentally friendly... look outside and all the households seem to be so bright!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They should make Earth Hour 2010 on a twice a year basis. And on 2011, thrice! Until we hold this event weekly! And then electricity consumption would probably go down quite a lot. Or would it...? I still have a very pessimistic view on the Earth being able to survive this crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great post today. (As in, I feel great posting today, for strange reasons.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right. It's late. I better slack more before I go to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodbye... for now! :D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-2485210569915190484?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/2485210569915190484/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/3-realisation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/2485210569915190484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/2485210569915190484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/3-realisation.html' title='realisation'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-1072209275971289959</id><published>2009-03-22T00:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-12T18:24:36.920+08:00</updated><title type='text'>we're going back to school... again</title><content type='html'>Today is the last day of the school holidays. I seriously wished the school holidays could last longer. I'm tired of school. For this post, I shall make a few lists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Projects&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Music ATT (Time-consuming)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;History ATT (Effort-draining)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chinese ATT (Very time-consuming)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Project Work (Super duper time-consuming)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Biology Project (No slight idea of what we are supposed to do...)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;Term 2 (at a glance, from what I know now)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;March 25: SYF Rehearsal at VCH&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;March 28: Ngee Ann Secondary Choir Workshop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;April 04: Speech Cum Homecoming Day&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;April 15: Choir SYF Central Judging 2009&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;May 04: Start of MYE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This year is supposed to be a year of positive change! I'm like... not changing for the good. (Despite Barack Obama and his "CHANGE" thing.) I have a feeling that I'm gonna get last in the level or something. (Did I say that in my previous post? :x)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I seem to have... nothing to post! O:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(So I shall continue complaining about what's left of the holidays only, which is apparently, 23 hours and 10 minutes.) Enjoy, people. Term 1 felt like it was six hundred thousand years. And the holidays felt like it was only... six seconds long! We need longer holidays, damn it. And less homework/projects/tests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm looking forward to this June Holidays now :D (This is stupid, cos for the whole term I'd be looking forward to the holidays, even though it has not even started.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have come up with a theory. (That isn't really a good one.) That everything will turn out fine in the end. Just like how sometimes the day before I haven't completed a five week long assignment, and I know it will turn out fine! And it did. (This happens most of the times actually.) So despite there being 5 projects due, I know it will turn out fine. (What kind of attitude I have, but never mind.) At least 2/5 are undergoing some work. The other 3/5 will turn out fine. (Hopefully.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how many times have I like promised myself that I will organise my notes ASAP. But I haven't yet, actually. Don't know how I'm gonna study for MYEs. They should have like a 1 week break before MYE. For people to study. Or they should make homework ILLEGAL the week before major exams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realised this holiday is a happy holiday anyways :D Realised so many things. Learnt so many things. And regained confidence in things I no longer did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I realised how my posts always talk about school.. so I shall talk less about school in my other posts.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(And I realised how this post is so random from paragraph to paragraph.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damn it. I shall spend the last 23 hours of this precious holidays wisely. Not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIME TO GO! OKAY GOODBYE!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-1072209275971289959?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/1072209275971289959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/2-were-going-back-to-school-again.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/1072209275971289959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/1072209275971289959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/2-were-going-back-to-school-again.html' title='we&apos;re going back to school... again'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788793859352146672.post-5768015707591637049</id><published>2009-03-16T20:28:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-12T18:24:26.195+08:00</updated><title type='text'>not just any post</title><content type='html'>(I have no idea how I shall start this post.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's 9:02pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been sitting in front of this blank post for hours. And I have really no idea how I should start this post. So, I shall just go with whatever comes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's 9:03pm now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is probably my 5th blog? Don't know how long this will last. It's been a long while since I blogged, one month actually. So, I think after not blogging for so long I have lost the ability to even start my post!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Term 1 has ended. Real quickly. Yet so slowly. Sec 2's different from Sec 1. Much different. We have now countless projects, and lots of homework, probably many tests too. A lot, compared to Sec 1, but maybe not to our seniors? Time management comes in so importantly, yet I for one do not possess it. Rushing work the night before, studying for tests the night before. It works... to a certain extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have two subjects very dangerously perched at the far edge of the cliff, waiting to fall. Maths and Chinese. I can't get numbers done. Nor words that require so many strokes of the pen! So naturally those are my weaker subjects? Got to get something done about them if I want to do well this year. Although I'm not already having high hopes this year. (I'm like gonna get the last in the level, although not that serious...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shall make use of the March Holidays... make use of it to enjoy more of holiday life. And just use a little more of the computer, sleep till a little later, watch some television, play the piano, read my books. The things I can't do during normal school days. (Too much work, or just poor time management?) Of course, I should be using this time to study for maths test and getting the hang of subjects I haven't got. And get a proper study plan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realised the tone of my post is a bit... talking-to-myself kind of tone... and it's 9:15pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will be doing History ATT tomorrow? Whizzz Quiz. Wonder what the project's about! Hahahaaa, I haven't even read the worksheet yet! :x Haven't read the textbook either!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then after that I will have choir! Realised how SYF is in less than a month's time!? Hopefully I'd be able to keep my place in the main team? And hopefully XMC by SYF would be at Gold/GWH standard an will perform at Gold/GWH standard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And... what else could be said? Ohh!! It's 9:27pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since I don't know how to end my post either, I shall end this sentence before you even... *missing text*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*more missing text*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2788793859352146672-5768015707591637049?l=thetaintedspot.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/feeds/5768015707591637049/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/1-not-just-any-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/5768015707591637049'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2788793859352146672/posts/default/5768015707591637049'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thetaintedspot.blogspot.com/2009/03/1-not-just-any-post.html' title='not just any post'/><author><name>Shawn</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
