chapter 11 page 245

good evening everyone, it's a full moon out there, for all buddhist worshippers,a pleasant vesak day to you.

just came back grocery shopping with mum. looking for prune juice for my consitipated sister.hm..... i guess the problem lies with her diet. with all the fruits and veggies and no carbohydrates, there is absolutely nothing to launch.

yea, still thinking about lame jokes to crack from this afternoon. i thought about one. i still remember back in secondary 2, it was just after recess. me, delvin, qi jun, kok meng had just finished eating and headed to the toilet for a pee. man, i'll never forget that day. the urinals were totally occupied, leaving only the cubicles. so, i had no choice but to se them. as i got nearer to the cubicles at the far end, i heard someone having a piss, but i didn't know which one he was in. then, i just randomly picked one which i thought was empty. jackpot! i walked into the one with someone in there. the only problem was, it wasn't just someone, it was my principal. fuhuanites out there, still remember mr ong? yea, his facial expression was priceless. so was mine ^^v

and then, i just scrapper back to class. forget about peeing, i nearly wet my pants seeing him in the same cubicle as me. the only thing that buggs me is that he never bothered to lock the cubicle door in the first place. good lord. how do they teach about privacy in the past. com'n, it's the 21st century, no one takes a pee in the open -_-


apparently, i wasn't the only one who walked into someone taking a piss. the other fella would be qi jun. it appears his is much worse. the same scenario as me. but the thing is, he walked into the same cubicle as the guy having a piss, turned to lock the door and turn back to finally realise there was someone in the cubicle having a wee.

man, delvin who reported this to me couldn't talk properly after that. he seems to be having stomach pains from the laughing.

well tommorrow is back to school again. and common test is creeping up the shoulders and into my nerves..... it's a headache.

well, that's all for tonight, see you soon.

chapter 11 : Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn

good afternoon ladies and gentelmen, it's a sunny afternoon with thunderclouds hanging low, and how do you do?

it's vesak day everyone, so grab your candles and walk around the temple and chant sutras (for my buddhists friends out there, no offence). anyways, it's still to early to do that, and i'm stuck at home, alone with rat. my parents are out doing their vesak day thing, my sisters are probably having a candle light lunch on a vesak day (it's pretty cold, i know). so anyways, today, i'm trying to crack some cold jokes. o yea, that reminds me, the other day i tried visiting ah sok's blog, the only response and feed i got were 5 words. thats strange....


hm..... i used to be able to do this when i was a kid, but back then i guess everyone has screwed up sense of humour. it was kinda easy to break everyone elses funny bone and they'll be on the floor all day.

a druken man stumbled out of a bar, knocked over a garbage bin, walked into a lamp post, and fell flat on the sidewalk right in front of a fussy old lady, who saw everything.

"if i were in your condition, young man," said the old crone, "i'd shoot myself"

"lady," the drunk replied groggily, "if.... you were in.... my condition, you'd.... miss"

that was kinda lame, wasn't it? how about poetry?

a doctor fell into a well
and broke his collar bone.
a doctor should attend the sick,
and leave the well alone.

this isn't really working, is it? this feels kinda lame after all. well, i'll just go with it.

what did julius ceasar say when brutus stabbed him in the back? ouch? this feels very stupid and cold. o, look outside, the sky turned dark and the storm clouds are thundering, i better go get my lunch pronto. talk later

chapter 10 page 220 : funny bits of the past

it's 8 o clock, how do you do?
just reminicing about the past again. it just brings back some good laughs. ok, we don't have to go way back into the past, just a yesterday or a week before will do.

let's start week last week. how can i forget to post this last thursday? i guess i was too busy. well, while i was in the market with joan, wei kiat, and derek ng (yes, he's another person and we usually get mixed up when someone addresses us). we were having lunch before our pool session when we were discussing about shaving. yes the bathroom taboo, which all females prefer not to disclose whether or not they do shave. yes, hair. from head to toe. we talked about facial hair, stomach hair and down to problems with going under.

and to cap it off, there was this blonde woman (obviously not local) who sat next to us. yea, and the conversation kicked off. hm.... i guess i shouldn't have said some things, but it just came out.

we were actually discussing about women who had hair all over. talk on and on about how we knew some women had more facial hair than other guys XD and how some women had hair all over their arms.

but what actually shook the woman off her seat was the following line: "imagine a women who had chest hair" the woman's facial expression was PRICELESS. i couldn't stop shaking in my seat. o yea, and the final blow was dealt non other than by derek ng. the lad said he had stomach hair lining from his chest all the way down beyond his belly button and...further down la. so he lifted his T-shirt up and showed everyone the merchandise. good lord, the women stared at him as if he were some sex fiend.

yea, that was really funny. and what about yesterday? i didn't really want to mention this but well maybe for the greater fun, let's do this. i worked out at the gym yesterday with shun yuan. it wasn't exactly entertaining but it really spooked. i guess he was really working it out on the threadmill, running at 16km/h (i gave up on the threadmill earlier and hogged the push-down machine).

can you imagine someone tripping on a threadmill? the first person i saw to ever trip on the mill was shun yuan. and yes, he nearly skidded of the machine just when i was about to start pushing down ^^ the entire gym looked at him.... if it was me who skidded, i would have jumped through the glass window and into the pool to hide my face. you can see everything man, ungraceful tripping, legs flying about, arms flinging wildly. okok, that's enough fun about shun yuan, i promised not to make fun of him.

other funny events include trying to escape from mr ong's practical by saying my house was on fire. that one really made me laugh. and one that took place a long time ago, when someone actually commented that NCC T-shirts would look really hip if they were pink. XD how's that for fashion police.

probably my days of laughter are long long gone. and the climax of the week is coming to a close in a few hours time. and i wish everyone an enlightening vesak day tommorrow, and for those poly students, work hard, common test is no walk in the park. it's a walk through hell.

today's blog has been concluded, i wish everyone good night.

chapter 10 page 203

it's a sunny afternoon here in ngee ann, how do you do?
i'm sitting here in LT 51c in the cool air-conditioned hall. everyone here has just came from taking mr yeoh's FAT test.

well, i feel much better than before. the high has come back after a long 2 weeks drought. but still, memories of her linger with me. i feel like a despo sometimes. but it's just because i really like her.
anyways, mr ong right now is giving us a lecture Q&A on next week's common test. i'm really not expecting to do well in my ETE anyway.

because A:i didn't really study for it.
B: i didn't do well for the class tests, and
C: i don't unerstand what he's teaching.

afterall, everyone one knows there are 3 different kinds of people on the globe. people who make things happen, people who watch em' happen and people who just don't know what happened. i reckon it's a little too late to care about what happens now.

so now, i'll study my hardest for my 3 modules. and it's back to class for now. signing off

P.S THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS YESTERDAY CHUN FU.
P.S.S THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS YIXUAN, 2 DAYS AGO.

chapter 10 : the climax of the week


wednesday 30th may. today is lecture day. but not today. lectures will be 4 hours short. instead replaced by 2 hours of tests, 1 hour of lecture, and the rest is up to you. the climax of the week starts as usual, with EG2 tutorial. mr liang (the evil emperor from star wars), though he isn't exactly that bad, he's alittle "strange".everyone in te classroom is either studying or playing games or chatting online. for me? i blog. just looking to my left, i see shun yuan hard at work doing his ETE 4th tutorial. diagonally to my left, edwin concentrates hard on his MOL and looking in front of me, angela is checking through her foilsim.

it's a thundering morning on a very low wednesday. i'm derek, how's it going? my blogging time is almost up, i have revision to go through in a few minutes time. well anyway, i'll keep you updated today. today is the day when i post alot

talk later.....

chapter 9: the sad robin

the common tests are creeping up on me. recently, i haven't really been myself lately, and i don't like this feeling. i have no composure, no constant laughter, and no warmth in my heart.

probably that explains alot about the emo posts about the pasts. some bits of my past is way better than my present.

maybe it's because i miss someone alot....

the one day i will never forget, the 10 hours spent next to her. and now, i don't think i'll ever get a chance to go out or talk to her ever again. her birthday is coming soon, but i doubt i'd join her. her friends have priority over a measly boy like me.

it's a slightly damp evening on a tuesday, i'm derek, and how do you do? if the post is boring you, i suggest you just minimize this blog and listen to the music instead.


i worked out at gym werkz again today, it took half my life with it. so tiring. o yea, that reminds me, there were lots of cute girls there today (surprisingly). shun yuan became one hell of a horn dog. he stared out at the girl swimming in the pool while working out on the cycling machine. ^^ i guess he didn't need the TV.

well that's today's update, i'll post something else tommorrrow. bye

chapter 8

hm....... i just had a hair cut. it doesn't look that good on me at all. now that i think of it, i'd rather have no hair on my head. but i'd do my best to refrain from shaving off everything. the last time i did that it took the lives of many by storm ^_^ v hahaha, those were the wee wee days and the height of full-of-non-sense. i still miss the time retarding around the back of 4C, singing myself silly with jonathan and the radio, messing around with loretta and atiqah, laughing around with weird wendy and fazilah, abusing science with hassan and marvin, and of course, making miss chua's mouth drop open with horror

trapped in the joyful past, so nonstalgic that i can't seem to, or want to move on.

i've been thinking lately, i'd been wasting around my life in ngee ann. just because i find the work now alittle harder, i crumble like a cookie. but i guess it's all the hard work now that makes us the people of today and the better person tommorrow. it's a hard struggle, even till today, i still feel numb from the lectures which make absolutely no sense (ETE espeacially).

sometimes i miss my class of 4C 2006 so much i tear. but somehow i forgot how to cry. whenever i see my ex-classmates from JC, i'd throw a hug around them (maybe the girls aren't too comfortable with that gesture).8th of june is coming closer guys, i'd throw a extra big hug for everyone then.


this is a little tale as told by a little robin, the bird that never cleans it's poo, after doing it on someone's head

chapter 7 page 134: a rat's tale

mmmmm.... just had dinner not long ago. welcome, this is derek speaking. it's a warm evening on a sunday, and still have my FAT assignment waiting for me in my "documents" folder.

honestly, i don't think i'll ever see daylight again if the work keeps amounting like this. i really feel bad leaving my work to the 11th hour and still shagging around.

again over dinner, dad keeps asking me the stuff he already knows(very irritating). and again, if he keeps doing this to my family, he's going to shorten my life by another 10 years.


a few hours ago, i went downstairs to check on rat (my chinchilla), see if he's OK with the heat and everything. apparently, rat has become much more affectionate to me recently. my sister brought him home last christmas in the dead of the night. and after 6 months, he's finally getting used to me. but just last week he tried sinking his teeth in my finger because he was very hungry (grimace in pain).

but all in all, we're still on a long road to becoming better friends. but for now, my current friend is the tiger balm.... sian, i'm aching all over from last night's coolie work.

this just sucks. i'll update tommorrow, bye for now.
P.S i wonder if my crush will ever read my blog

chapter 7

sunday afternoon in a blistering hot room... the weather now is dreadfully scorching.

hi everyone, i'm not in camp anymore. the thing is, last night, i had enough and decided to leave the camp. last night's camp fire was spectacular and exhausting to prepare and clear up. i look like a coolie doing coal work after the camp fire.

today however, i have to rush through my work again. it's all due next week. the worst part is, i'm worn out from the camp, and tommorrow is going to end at 5.... today will be an equally long day of studying -_-

i'll see if i can post some of the camp pics, right now, i don't have the pics with me, but that's it for now, i'm off to study. see ya.

chapter 6

good morning everyone, it's a beautiful saturday morning. sorry about last night, i made a wrong prediction that it would rain. well anyways, the sun is shinning in the 4th floor of fuhua secondary school classroom. i wish that a certain person i treasure alot would be here with me. as like any other camp, today started with chee meng's usual screaming and a coffe break with adrian.

i'm taking alittle time of from the camp. it's been a busy night and morning, so in total, i haven't had much sleep. talking about sleep, i slept on the chair with my head resting on the table. when i woke up, it felt like my legs were chopped off(major cramps). in the end i slept on the floor, and unfortunately, under the fan (freezing cold). for the rest of it, i kept myself awake during the briefings by using the old method... "nescafe 3 in 1" and "gold roast" coffee with a pinch of milo innit. i managed to stay very much alive unlike my other pals who are pretty dead. the only minor drawback is that i have to rush to the bathroom to pee every half an hour.

taking this time off is a time for study, but apparently, i could recite most of the ETE fomulas in front of skinny scarecrow mr raymond loh. he seemed pretty impressed. although thats only like topic 2...when it's topic 3 and 4 i'm more concerned XD

this morning, i ran into an old friend. JESLYN! it's a first time she said good morning to me. for the past 2 years she never said much to me, only demanded me to do things like an ox. well that's all in the past, today is a new day and she's a different person... muahahaha



last night, i ran into hai xun,though we didnt really have the time, i still tried to speak to him for awhile. it's great to see the old clown again, he always makes me laugh at the lame things he does..... though sometimes i really wish i can forget the things he's done... LOL!^^

its 0850 in the morning, in 12 hours time, NCC camp fire will commence at the basketball court. anyone free is welcome to come along =D

i'll update this tonight once the camp fire is over... see ya later everyone

chapter 5

evening everyone.... it's a chilly friday night in fuhua secondary school. it's me derek chan, i'm here in fuhua because i'm supervising a NCC camp and doing tutoirals at the same time.. its such a drag. i can't even have a peaceful weekend anymore.

looking out the window from the 4th floor classroom, it's about to start raining soon. the sunset was beautiful, and i wished a certain someone would be here with me to watch it go down behind the dark clouds.

o yea, i manage to snagg one of the teacher's LAN cables so i could hogg online and update the blog. so i guess i can still keep in touch with the world. i'll be off for now doing my work. i'll take some other time.


good night

chapter 4

probably the longest day of my life. yes. the IS day for this week has finally ended with the last training session for fencing.

I AM DEAD BEAT

schedule for today: 7am: meet kelvin for breakfast, 7.30am start eating breakfast with kelvin
8am: soccer until i half dead and then at 10am, CATS with the weird hag in a wet freshman orientation T-Shirt.


somethings just get better, right after CATS, lunch at bukit timah market. and after that, pool until 3.30 then i have to rush home and complete my rejected tutorial (curse you mr ang). just when my butt was getting warm, i have to leave for fencing again............... well, today's the last session, i won't complain.... just that the training never ceases to tire out legs......

its a cool thursday night, i'm derek chan, how are you doing? today was a day of fatigue, pain, joy and laughter for me, and tommorrow will be the start of hell on earth. it's NCC may camp in fuhua secondary school, and i just found out chao chu kang is doing the same. farhan, you and i suffer alot. i feel our pain.....

i'll be bringing coffe powder so i can mugg for my tests in the night and keep me company people... i beg of you.... i can't stand army boys for 3 days... it reminds me of 2 weeks of december in yio chu kang......

good night everyone.... you won't be hearing from me from tommorrow until sunday.... keep in touch through the phone

chapter 3 page 54



good evening everyone, it's a warm may night and i just got back from gym werkz in ngee ann.




today wasn't exactly "fun" but i get to meet an old friend from fuhua at BS, yee cheng. yes, apparently, the sec 5s from fuhua were taking a tour at ngee ann.... and min yen was tour guide of their group! dear atiqah, what on earth happen to your forehead? you look terrible....

just thinking about tommorrow really gets me down. in the morning, i'd have to deal with mud and splatter and right after that, i have to deal with an old hag from planet mars. this CATS thingy really gets on my nerves....gym again at 1 o clock, fencing at 6 o clock and that's how i finish my IS day at ngee ann

o yea, i reckon not everyone is perfect, but do you have any injuries in your body that you never know of until it hurts? well, i just found one today, you'll have to ask edwin he'll tell you about it.

just then, joan tells me she has jus broken up. it's a sad tale.... as her friend, i feel very honoured to cheer her up.

it's too early to say goodnight, but, i got work to do now, i'll chat with you some other time. good night

chapter 3 page 43


its jus after the quiz that i finally realize how much i don't know. its kinda scary. and the worst is yet to come, and keep coming after that. ETE would be the 1st common test i take in 2 weeks time. and it would be the toughest yet. followed by my other modules EG2 and Engineering Mechanics respectively. it's going to be long weekend, NCC camp in fuhua secondary school will take place this coming friday.until sunday, i'll be in fuhua doing my tutorials and supervising the camp.

let's post a question on how much do you really know a person

how do you judge a person the first time you see him/her. looks? personality? charisma? charm?

and how do you if he/she is attached, judging only by a first time meeting.

i'll continue tonight

chapter 3


its 3 hours before my main quiz of the day, and my mind is quizzing with pain from the overload....

last night i manage to sleep well until 4am until my insomnia kicked in again. i'm really tired even if i don't look like it.everyone's doing last minute on AMMP, because theres too much to remember. i have this nagging feeling i won't be passing this one.

life is too short to be wasted on such a module. just then, kelvin opened his can of coke and it exploded on two passing girls. he left the fizzled coke can on the dustbin and left it to be picked up by jian hui.

take me high, and i'll fly with you. one day i hope to be married to you and stay by your side in your life.

i'll continue tonight....

chapter 2 page 25


it's evening time on a lovely (yet terrible) tuesday. hi! i'm Derek Chan. i'm studying right now (i'm such a liar) there are so many things to do tommorrow. sometimes i wish tommorrow would never come, even if it's better than right now.... because i'd have to go through my nightly rituals of insomnia and chocolate milk again and take quizes the next day.



well, thanks to siqi, i'm finally able to upload my favourite song of the week on my blog without having to post it. right now gifts and curses is still small, let's just hope it'll slowly grow.



tommorrow will be a battle of will power and hunger in the lecture hall of block 51. yes, 5 hours straight of lecture (maybe the last 2 hours are for the quiz) and in the morning, we have a showdown with mr liang with EG2.

*lord give me strength*



academics are so not my thing...i'll catch up with you some other time...good night

chapter 2


my work got rejected by mr ang again.... the second time this month. this sucks. and i had to spend the entire tutorial doing my 4th tutorial all over again because i misplaced it.


right after this post, i have to take a quiz by mr yeoh, god of FAT (fundamentals of aerospace technology). i have absolutely no clue on what i've been studying.
honestly, i dunno how i'm going to survive this 3 years in ngee ann. i suffer from insomnia, and i can't live without chocolate milk....and now i'm torn between 2 choices of CCAs..... SYFC or Fencing.... it's like choosing between women.
i'll coninue tonight if i have the time, most likely i'll be mugging on my manufacturing work and all that rubbish on straddling and gang milling....
laterz

chapter 1


all i could think about was the number 23......... yes, 23 days or less and it's holidays......^^v
I haven't studied the least bit at all and as you can see, in less than 20 days, i'll be having commontests.... 20 days isn't exactly alot of time. there's NCC camp this weekend, there're quizes this week, a hoard of them. it's bad news. i started out with more testerone last month, but this month, i'm running low....again.

people, here me speak:

Aerospace is pure torture..... because the time you spend in this course passes real quick and the work amounts to nothing you can imagine..... things you can remmeber and not register. i can't study this for nuts....

Just thinking about it, makes me feel that i can't compete in my class anymore.... well, anyways, i look forward to seeing loretta again.... it's been too long. and i hope i can have dinner with my crush soon... if she will ever love me.

well, that's it for a monday night, i'll complain more tommorrow if i have the time. tata
