digging for that Treasure | ||||
welcome No one ever followed his genius til it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say that the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal,--that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality....the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched. --Henry David Thoreau |
profile There are two words to describe me: 'atheistic' and 'cynical'. Anything else, you'll have to find out by yourself. Don't like it, sue me. And that's the awful truth. |

Adios Amigos! (In case you don't know what I mean, I'm saying goodbye in Spanish) Me, my sis and my ma are going to Genting tonight, instead of the initial plan of going to Australia. Never mind, at least I get to go somewhere, right? It's so boring at home, all I do is stare at the computer screen and watch digits rise and fall as I await the movie I'm downloading to finish. Then, I watch the movie, and when it's done, I stare some more. This boredom has weird effects on me. For example, I seem to have lost my appetite. I just don't like chicken nuggets anymore. The thought of eating makes me feel kinda sick. This is so not me... I'm blogging pretty early, and Cyn's still asleep. She looks funny when she sleeps, it's amazing she doesn't drool in the position she's sleeping in. That's another effect of boredom: no matter how late I sleep, I always seem to wake up at 7 or 8, which is really infuriating because my day gets longer because of that, which means I have to stare for a longer time. I'm going CRAZY!!! My bro came back from the Navy and gave us a couple of light sticks, which unfortunately was stolen by him, but I really don't care how he got them, I just want to crack'em! I find light sticks extremely cool, and I love cracking them. Me and my sis are gonna have a lightsaber battle, and I'm the one with the red lightsaber, so technically, I'm playing the role of Darth Vader... Cyn...I am your father...(That sounds wrong) My bro gave my sis his iPod photo 60GB because I didn't want it. He bought a new iPod Video because now, he has a salary! Although it's only $2000 a month... So now, I have my sis's iPod Nano 2GB with all her crappy songs which I long ago outgrew, and which I have to delete myself... Plus, and added bonus, I have her pink checkered casing which she puts her iPod in... Whoopdedo!! I gave my iPod Nano 1GB to my ma, and she's gonna murder it by putting Chinese songs into it... I feel so sad for my iPod; nothing should be put into such agony, such horror, such torture! I'm getting kinda drama here... // Tuesday, May 29, 2007, 8:04 AM Haven't blogged for a LONG time. Quite a lot has happened. First of all, my mom says that we (my sis, mom and I) are going to Australia in the holidays, to Movie World I think. I really can't wait. Recently (like yesterday) we had a power trip because my sis's plug doesn't work so when she wants to plug in her fan, blackout. I was in the middle of a shower, then suddenly everything just turned black. I thought Cyn offed the lights, as she always does. My dad got pissed the second time. Tomorrow, Cyn and I are gonna watch Pirates of the Carridbean, I don't know why she wants to watch it so early, I bet she just wants to use up my movie tickets... I saved $90+ and gave mom $70 to put in my bank. Since it was all coins, it was friggin heavy. Amazing that I saved that mcuh in a few months... // Friday, May 25, 2007, 12:19 PM I haven't told my folks about my results yet... I really don't want to. They don't know I topped my class in Science, or that I nearly flunked two subjects. At least they don't have to come to the meet the parents session because my overall average is higher than 60%. Why does my form teacher have to be my Chinese teacher? I wish we didn't have exams, because the highs and lows and literally kill you. I had ELDDS photoshoot yesterday, the camera was really bright. Blinked alot of times. Nothing more ot say, gonna watch TV... // Saturday, May 19, 2007, 10:25 PM Exam results are out... I wouldn't say I did very well... Only for Geog (81) and Science (85). I topped my class in Science, believe it or not, but kinda flunked my Lit for my standards. English wasn't really that good, and Math and Chinese, oh I don't want to talk about them man! Suck! I can't believe I only got 56 for math! That's like uber low, am I really that stupid? Don't answer that. The day before, I sat on the sofa in front of the TV for about 4 hours watching Prison Break 2 because my mom bought the CD, although its pirated so it was kinda hard to make out what the were saying. There's gonna be a season three that's for sure... Man it was thrilling... // Friday, May 18, 2007, 4:33 PM Our English teacher once made us write these book reviews and then submit them to this newspaper thing for them to be published. Guess what, mine got published. So now I have two movie tickets and I don't know if I should give one to Cyn. It'll be kinda weird sitting alone in the movie theatre right? But of course that means I can only watch one movie and I don't like that very much. Too many good movies coming out. Anyway, exams are finally over, and I don't have to go to school on Monday, which is pretty cool because Cyn has to. Results are released next week, and I'm so scared! What if I screwed up? If you fail English you'll get kicked out I think, if you fail more than four subjects you'll get kicked out too. So far, since I screwed up my first to papers, I failed Math. The only way I can get A is if I got 80+. which is not very likely. Nevertheless, in Primary School, I had 68+ for CA and SA1, but scored an 89 for the prelim. I hope it can happen again. Not very probable though. Well, all I can do now is wait (for the world to change). // Saturday, May 12, 2007, 9:38 AM I REALLY can't believe how lucky I am! I just had my Lit test, which consists of three sections: unseen prose, extract, and essay-based questions. They put this passage in the unseen prose (unseen just means some random prose that you don't know what is so you can't study for it) by Catherine Lim, and guess what...I read it before! Cyn uses one of Catherine Lim's books for her Lit, and she made me read the first story, titled 'The Father'...the same one in the Mid Year exam! I couldn't stop smiling when I saw it...it was just so cool! Too bad they didn't show the whole story, because if they did (the story is supposed to be ironic and kinda hard to get if it's your first time reading it and you didn't get any help from teachers or anything) I am pretty sure I would have laughed my butt off because Cyn kept talking about the story as it was in her test. That would have given my a terribly unfair advantage... too bad it didn't happen. Other than that, I think I did pretty well in my Lit (perhaps not as good as I could have as I wrote kinda little compared to everyone else so I'm a little worried). On Monday, I have Chinese exam, but since it doesn't have han zi or cheng yu, and I don't have to memorise anything, I'm not that worried. It's only 1h 30min anyway, which is the shortest one compared to the others. I can leave school at 9.30am. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need a shit load to get A! // Saturday, May 5, 2007, 11:17 PM Uh, I can't believe how tired I am... Yesterday I fell asleep at 8pm on my bed. I only wanted to rest a bit than go shower, but I woke up at 4am the next day in my school uniform. No one even bothered to wake me up, they just offed the lights and left me sleeping there like a dick head. Uh, I had to go shower at 4am. Then, when I went back to sleep, some best friend of my Dad's who's from the states woke me up. He friggin came at 9am in the morning! Who the hell visits so early? Depriving me of my precious sleep, of which i receive so sparingly. I don't remember him though. My parents left with him and haven't been back since. I think they went or the beach or something. I'm not sure. Dam it! I hate Geog! It's the damest most disgusting subject ever! Who the hell cares about rocks, or leaves or the amount of rain a stupid city gets? I sure don't. The Geog Mid Year is on Thursday, and I won't be surprised if I do badly, because for me to score well, I have to memorise every single word in the four textbooks I have. BORING! Uh, thank goodness Lit is on the day after Geog, then I can feel good about myself again. I can't wait for Lit, because I KNOW I'll score well, not necessarily the best, but well. I think I'm too over-confident. I might get killed by my over-sized ego... // Tuesday, May 1, 2007, 3:03 PM |
