Zzz..I slacked for too long..almost been a week since I've blogged. ALMOST, haha. Last few days have been eventful to say the least. Last wednesday I went to Simlim with my dad AND met Zhi Bin there to fix my broken laptop screen. I was really sorry to part with it, and felt uneasy with so many of my stuff in someone else's hands. My parents teased me at my uneasiness, but I do treasure my few peoms, songs and chaters of books I have written inside. Laso I missed being online. HAHA. Anyway it was fixed on Saturday, and I got it back. YAY, the screen is fixed so I can do alot of things with greater ease now, though it cost quite abit...

Monday I had a pre-birthday party with my few friends. I preferred to ask just a few, as I wanted to spend QUALITY time with my friends together. I asked Joshua, which gave me a funny-looking set of knives and forks, Jeremy and Xia Yang, which gave me Jay's latest album HAHA...the two of them arrived earliest and Xia Yang shouted 周杰伦 through the door. He didnt know my parents are home =). My mum raised her eyebrows, and I went to get them in. We played the whole day, literally. All the way until 10.30pm. Zhi Bin joined us in the afternoon. He requested me to specially mention about his Lovers' keychain, which I think I should. He gave a pair of mushroom keychains, a blue and pink. If anyone who still remeberes this post next time, they will know this: The one to hold the pink keychain will be my Wife. We played quite alot of stuff, and had loads of fun. After a good game of soccer, all of us were injured, slightly. Maybe cause Xia Yang's a tad heavy and 'violent' HAHA. He didnt care about rules XD. Joking. Anyway when it's time to leave, we all hoped these days will continue, as by next year, we won't really be so close anymore..

Next few days I will keep an update, as there will be more fun coming up. It's time to change my age-old music before someone complain again.

昨天是我第一次正式参与华中初级学院部的课外活动。原以为高中会和中学没什么两样的我在那里的歌唱团里的确吃了一惊。到了那里,一个叫建毅的学长把我带到了歌唱团所排练的场地。他说南洋女中的人已经加入初院的歌唱团开始练习了。没想到他们招人还挺快的...和那里的人在一起一段时间后,发现学长学姐都特别热爱学校...他们都很愿意为自己的课外活动等付出..让我沉思了好一会儿。本以为华初会像中学一样,除了女生外没有什么大变化,但当天我见到的却是一张张崭新的面孔,一个个未曾见过的笑容...让我感觉像到了一个完全陌生的地方一样,搞得我很不好意思。我的脑子还是不能接受即将有那么多不认识的其他学校的学生们与我们一同度过大家读大学分道扬镳之前的最后两年。

看来初院是需要一段适应期喽。

今天夏洋来我家玩。我们俩先是玩了会儿电脑游戏,然后在我自己安装的怪式篮筐旁打了几场篮球..=P 难得他也肯大老远跑来拜访我,哈哈。我借了他英雄无敌5,让他有了新的爱好。

这两天看的历史纪录片“长征”终于结束了。由于我以前还没怎么看过这种东西,还觉得挺新鲜。结束了有点可惜。毛泽东和朱德的红军还是挺令人钦佩的。明天就有新的戏好看了。

5 days after the final exam of my High School life ended, the holiday mood is really getting into my brain. Now I usually wake up at around 10am =P, and sleep at 1am. Yesterday after church, I went home to discuss with my parents about my EP3. I waded around my in secondary 4 stuff until I found the yearbook, and asked them for their opinion of what EP3 (CCA) I should choose. After basically 30 seconds, all of us gave up and I decided that I will go for the Choir audition today at 3.30pm afterall. I did not consider myself especially talented in any area apart from my willingness to write and exploring the boundaries of the English and Chinese language. Maybe I am not very good at that either.

Tried to help Xia Yang fix his War3 yesterday, but somehow in the process something did not work out and we spent 2 hours busying around with not results, haha. I am trying very hard to make him stop playing his RPG games and come online to caht more often. That caused the random spamming of my tagboard yesterday night. Sorry to the people who posted before, I really enjoyed your attention on my blog!

I originally intended to fix my broekn laptop screen today, but since I am going for the auds and my dad's tired out from many stuff, I will go on wednesday instead. I have asked one of my friends which song that person liked, and I will from now onwards post that song for a few days before I change it. To all my friends, suggest a song to me and I will upload it onto my blog asap. I will post another message tonight in Chinese about my JC Choir audition.

Until then.

Finally my blog has been more or less done...quite glad that it looks pretty decent now with its background music and flashy tagboard (thanks to Cow haha). As exams are over these few days, I've decided to run around online and read some of my friends' blogs. Most of em' talked about their daily lives, a few of them discussed philosophy which can be inspiring at times but might sound over matured for us teenagers, and one of them lavished his wonderful grammar and vocabulary upon his blog in which to use a word from his ancient post, "flabbergasted" me. I wondered what I should leave behind on my blog from time to time. I think my blog will contain a mixture of everything, or at least I will try.

去年我写网上日记的时候与自己做了个约定,那就是尽量用双语来和自己与外界沟通。虽然电脑的中文打字系统有点苯得离谱,但有一位朋友的话让我觉得用中文写部落格很有道理:她对我说,“用中文亲切嘛!” 。回想起来大家在平时的日子里说的全是英语,不管是上课还是放学。周围的环境也都以讲 英语为主,导致许多华人忘记了自己根本的语言。而就凭一个D7就能考进新加坡大学的标准也进一步恶化了越来越少人爱以华语沟通的现象。愿意用中文讲话的人已经快成为稀有品种,该保护喽!

高谈阔论过了,现在也该把自己的生活琐事记录一下;今天向考试结束后的所有日子一样,起得不早,哈哈。晚上睡得晚,早上也很难爬起来。我好可怜那些还在考 O水准的朋友们。这个礼拜那四个多小时的高级华文考试就差点要了我们的小命,而他们要这样考一个多月...O水准的人啊,加油!智彬请我去他老师的书法展,不过我还有点犹豫不决,因为要一个人跑老远。最近我在为明年课外活动的事操心,不知该如何取舍。继续参加歌唱团吧,太花时间,但参加别的呢,也不知道能不能适应...

该打个电话回上海向亲戚们寒暄两句,然后再找两本书看看。哈哈最近日子还算悠闲。

Sentimental. That has been the word or the looks in my friends' eyes I've seen all around me these few days. Everyone has been talking about the end of High School life and how sad it would be. Why must we all feel so emotional about this? Why must we feel sad about leaving each other?

Let me feel sentimental, emotional, whatever too then, cause we're all created to be this way.

Finally, High School life has ended. Looking back, I realised how fast time can be. If you do not reach out and grasp life by its precious moments, you will turn back suddenly and find your life wasted. 4 years of High School life seemed a long road for me. I thought I would slowly cruise throught my secondary school life, assumed I would spend an eternity in the Hwa Chong high school campus, believed I can enjoy/suffer all the ups and downs as time passes slowly.

Or so I thought.

We had several so called Farewell Parties, from Batch Dinner to Ortus Night to the Last Day of School. So many goodbyes flowing around me makes me feel confused. My brain tells me this is the end, and I treasured the last few moments with my friends. My heart seem not to agree. As I looked forward to another stage of my life (which I always look forward to), there will be a part of me that will forever lie down in the classroom of 4L, toilet block, and refuse to move on, at least for now.

I had known alot of people across the secondary 4 level and throughout my secondary school life, and I am proud that I have friends everywhere, from Aphelion all the way to Ispark and 4P. Known them, talked to them, appreciated their acknowledgment of me. But there are several people that I would TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO specifically point out in this post that has made a real mark in my life. I essentially base my judgement according to my emotions, and to those below, you will all have my unwavering friendship till the very end. Trust my words.

The below people are mentioned in no order of Merit =) THIS IS NOT TESTIMONIAL WRITING. Uhem. Just being emo for ONE day

First, I would like to thank XIAN ZHI BIN. Well, he is the one who nagged me to update my 365 million year old blog and start writing online again, though his promises of helping me changemy template fell to nothing haha, and I did everything myself. Still, I like to thank him, as he is the one who made my secondary 3 life exciting. He is the one who taught me to reflect on myself, improve myself, and that I am someone special to him. He was, is and always will be my best buddy.

Next, I would like to thank XIA YANG. He is the one who brought the most joy to my life, especially in scondary 4. Althought abit selfish at times =P, he is the one who sticked to me, really stayed together with me throughout my good times and bad times. He scarificed alot of time and effort for me, and I thank him for putting up with me bossing him around all the time. He is this living example of FUN and JOY, and I will remember him forever.

Also, I would like to thank CALEB. He is the one and only BEST FRIEND I ever had. He never quarrelled with me, but tried to udnerstand and silently accept me for what I am. We had happy times together, and he taught me how to be more caring, generous and willing to scarifice for others. He let me know the meaning of true friendship, a friendship that cannot break or be tempered.

Then, I would like to thank NATALIE. I did not have many female friends, since I am in a boys' school, but she is the one I treasure the most. She stayed with me (online, haha) throughtout all my unhappy times and tried to comfort me whenever she can. She is one of the few people that can detect my mood and have the utmost amount of patience for me.

Lastly I would like to thank (Look for you name! and you know you have a real friend haha =))
Zhen Rui, Zhuo Yan, MELVIN, Joshua, Jeremy, Jevon, Rui Zi, Yang Xuan, Hu Chao, Bi Meng, Wincoln, HAO, Sanyu, Hong Ye, Zong Ning, Bey Shi Min, Bob, Louis Loh, Wei Han, Wei Pin, Nicholas Wongwong, JUN HUI, Che Jian, ALEX, BOON HAOW, Wei Seng, Shao Ning, Xin Rong, Jie Ling, Song Peng, Zi Hao, Ren Jing, Clara, YANNE, Yun Ting, Zhi Zheng, SUN SHUO, Pin Xuan , EDISON, An Liang, Yi Kai, Shawn YEO, Lynette for all your kindness towards me. I have remebered them all, and will remember you all

Thank you all.

Phew! Finally I managed to rid my blog of its old clothings. Thanks to Zhi Bin, I got a template from rather unexplainatory sources, and spent my night working on it, changing the blog to my liking. Apart from the bone structure which are the positions of the boxes, the rest are quite different from the original one haha..anway it is super late now and I wouldnt want to tire out myself too much so I'll leave my first post here and tuck into bed. My blog is still under construction as I may add in some other stuff, especially the missing tagbaord by tomorrow.
