im sitting at h0me, typing away my feelings. I'm studying for the mid-years n the feeling sucks when i cannot go out with my friends. And looking at the tonbs of stuff i'm gonna have to study scares me a bitbut i will try my best with God's help. Yeah, im missing my darling too!!!nearly 3 weeks not seeing her is making me go crazy. But i guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. I will cherish her more n more n love her better. Yeah...Oh well, hafta go back to study if not cannot finish. My parents have been a very great support, helping me the best they can. I'm very touched by them n also my sisters. Thanks m0m, dad, che che, n mei mei for your support n encouragement. I will do my best to make u all proud!!!

All the best for u all out there who are sitting for exams!!!

Cheers n God bless!!!

It's the time of the year again!!!!!

I get to go back to my h0me to see my family and friends. 5 months into the new term...wat a term!!!a hectic and demanding term bt also very fulfilling one. Had to slog between scho0l w0rk, training, SL project and stuff like that. S0metimes i feel that it is t0o much of a burden f0r me to handle but l0ok at me n0w...with the enc0uragement from my PAPA in heaven, my parents, my darlingzz, friends and teachers, i have g0ne thru term 2 unscathed. The failures in c0mmon test and Nationals serve as a g0od experience f0r me to ponder and think 0f what i have to do. Sometimes, it is th0se things which help to ring a bell in my life. The m0st prominent one was failing physics c0mmon test. It sh0wed me that such matters cann0t be taken t0o lightly and easily, but c0nsistent w0rk have to be put in. I don't blame the Nationals n0r the apparently frustrating chemistry paper i had two days bef0re. It's just the c0nsistency of my w0rk and h0w much eff0rt i put into it.

Well,  back h0me, in the l0ving care of my family, h0pefully i can get my grades during the mid-years.

Cheers to every0ne wh0 is reading this!!!

G0d bless all u people out there!!

But 22nd is fine for me...
Looking forward to seeing her...

=)

I'm at home now, looking at the computer screen and feeling very happy to be able to come back and see my beloved family. Of course it feels kinda weird suddenly not having the vast company i use to have in the hostel where all of us will do the same thing and talk as a big 'family'. However, my family is the best i can ask for when it comes to real love and comfort in times of trouble.
Many times i do not appreciate the caring thought of calling me and asking me how i am doing and my conditions. Sometimes i find it irritating. But now when i sit back and think, i feel very guilty and wish that i could find any way to thank my parents enough for what they had done for me all these while.
Well, enough of reflections....now its PARTY time for me...BUT i have to watch my weight. Don't want to be screwed by Mr. Sanusi or Mr Chua when i go back to Spore...hehehe
Hope to maintain or reduce it before the new term starts ^_^

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY......finally got to eat delicious and Msian like food in Spore. The lobak and the porridge is very very tasty and big. Kinda filled myself to the brim =) Neways, we ( as in myself, ian, jonas, jonathan, alson, chieh ping, ee laine, dina, priscilla, siew ping) went to Chinatown to 'get' away from hostel as we had nothing to do after Mother Tongue exam =) The setting of Chinatown is kinda like Petaling Street where the stalls are set up alongside the road and the prices are flexible. The girls n guys had a great time walking around the place trying out the unique things that were on sale, one being a 'pig' lighter and the china caps, and eating food. We even saw a troupe of China clowns performing in the middle of the road. Entertaining and fun. At one time, Jonathan nearly went to dance with one of the female performers =P...hehehe
On the whole, we had a great time and some are already contemplating to go there again this Wed.......see how lah =)

10.45 am......15 mintutes to end....my mind was thinking what to do after that. When my paper was taken, i finally realised that i'm free to do what i want. YAHOO!!!! =D. Well, its my sad day too...got the truth about the girl i fancy. Had a talk with her and sorted things with her. Kinda empty now inside...dun noe wat to do...thought of sleeping the whole day and make it look like a nightmare only. Hope that it can happen...dun noe when i will get over it..............................

Well, today was a gloomy day for the ASEAN scholars because we got back most of our papers today...only GP and F Math. From the faces and reactions of the scholars, it can be said that we generally din do well...except a few ppl, like Ian. I myself am not quite happy with my results...got 3 B's, but could have easily gotten an A for my Math...Neways got nothing much else to say...i feel very sad as well to see the Bio ppl, especially the 2nd intakers who fear so much for their scholarship. Hope that the gloom will be lifted soon.................................................................................................................................................=(

Walau...wat a relieve...physics ended today plus Chemistry SPA =) The night before, all of us were quite afraid of physics because Chemistry was sort of a disaster for us. Thank God that the paper was not very hard and for the first time i see most of the scholars coming out with smiles on their face...The Bio students have already ended their exams, so most of them are already having fun while the econs finish theirs tomorrow. F math people as usual always sit for the last paper of the year...on MONDAY. Not complaining because got three full days to study =). Now my room is very deserted because Eric and Alex went to cluster A to watch 'Happy three friends' while Kanav is with his buddies, also in cluster A. Hah, quite happy today also because my team played extraordinarily in football...din noe that Man Utd and Liv fans can team up to win 6-0....neways back to reading the newspaper...haven't been reading them since Monday =)

I'm siiting in front of the computer, writing my 2nd journal for my BLOCK/BLOG...=) Math paper today was not that bad...only screwed errr...2 questions which is worth 15 marks...=/ Well at least it wasn't i bad paper for me...i know of some ppl who cried after the ppr...worst still they had bio in 1 1/2 hrs time...quite sad to see them like that...neways, tomorrow is CHEMISTRY n MALAY...ooopps =p havent learned my peribahasa yet..Well that is practically what happened today, studied until dinner time from 3...later mugging summore...everyone reading this, God Bless =) Cya in the next journal...

Thank god its FRIDAY...can slack a bit from school work. Actually din do much work oso today. Go to school do nothing but laze around...maybe did two math and physics sums. Regreted going to school. Nevermind, now i'm in the hostel, typing my first journal on my first blog. Later going to play basketball with Ian and gang...So happy get to let out the stress in me. Well, nothing much to say nemore...anyone reading this, god bless u!!! =) -Ivan/Ivy-
