And thus concludes 10oclockgentleman.
Hey. All this time I’ve been meaning to post something, anything. There were so many things to talk about! Can’t believe it’s been so long since I posted.
For one, I really wanted to write about about my family trip to Gold Coast, the numerous quarrels we had and the stuff I took away from it. It was really a Little Miss Sunshine moment there, with the rented car substituting...

but an adventure.
I felt super tired today and slept once i reached home so didn’t get to get any work done. Good thing wednesdays are slack, like really slack. Ms seah started gp class with “I was thinking that today we will do… nothing!” So we did. She’s still an awesome teacher but it does make you worry for your future gp grades…
And i am unsure of the future. I’m more...
back.
Once again I feel like updating little fragments of my life on this thing. So i shall.

insomnia.
I believe insomnia is the worst feeling in the world. Heartbreak and betrayal probably fall in a pretty close 2nd place.
I had a perfect plan: sleep at 9, wake up at 2, watch world cup at 2.30, mug from 4.30 to 6 then early breakfast. But then i just. couldn’t. SLEEP. I tossed and turned and for some reason could fall asleep. This is the most frustrating feeling ever. The last time i...
I want an underdog to win this world cup. Stop passing it around the same 7 nations.

radical conference. mugging.
I got a new com! I think it’s a really good deal. Actually i’ll find any com a good deal and super fast compared to my old one so i’m just grateful for it. I’m trying to catch up on the lost days of internet now. It sure evolves fast. Gonna catch up on my blog reading right now.
The past few days were all spent in church, for the Radical Conference! It was really...

First post in 2 weeks hah. I don’t want to sour your mood so click for endless rambling. The following was written on paper just after my mom yelled at me. I don’t think anyone will read the entire thing, i know i won’t want to read it again. It’s like… i dunno, just that i feel strongly about this subject of film that my mom understands nothing about. I was never...

mugging & music.
Just a quick break from mugging (in front of the com)
Let’s see what i have done today. Watched survivor finale for the 2nd time, watched american idol top 3 for the 1st time. Played this fun shooting game lol. That’s 5 hrs spent on the tv and 1hr spent on games oh no. This is not going well.
I’m betting all i have on unemployment and GDP coming out, especially unemployment, in...

survivor. dv.
SURVIVOR FINALS ARE TMR.
My guess for final 3 is Russell, Sandra, Jerri and Sandra will win (again) What an amazing season. I now wanna rent past seasons to watch, esp the china season.
Oh finally my dv teacher said that we were supposed to have the traditional dv camp every year. I was looking forward to it initially but now i’m sort of bothered with all the planning and stuff, especially...

whiteout. physics spa.
Something really terrifying happened today.
It was during assembly, while the national anthem was blaring, i’m had this really painful stomachache, like a really sharp pain, followed by patches of white appearing in random spots in my vision. And it’s not the small streaks of bright light that cloud your vision after 2.4 or eng peng’s pe lesson, it’s like a few white...
Arts fest was a blast, but i’m still suffering the after-effects of 3 concerts in 3 nights. Lazy to update lar. Come back again next time.

napfa. pw.
Two shocking results over the past two weeks. NAPFA+PW :O
So yesterday was the NAPFA test and i got a silver! It’s a really awesome miracle straight from God. The previous week i was jumping after sch almost everyday, trying desperately to pass my standing broad jump (220cm). The best i could muster was a 235, but that was just once and the average was a measly 215 or something like that....

birthdays.
Birthdays are interesting because they let you see who remembers and how much you mean to them. You get some people who you haven’t spoken to you in months suddenly wishing you a great day (no doubt thanks to facebook reminders haha. but that doesn’t diminish it any more than say, if you were reminded by your phone calendar. like me.) and then you also get some people who you thought...

pull-ups. braces.
Today’s PE was crazyyy. The girls had their 2.4 napfa test today while the guys had to do 4 rounds, 3 sets of 30 push-ups + 30 crunches, max pull-ups and finally 100 pull-ups as a group of around 10 people.
Okay for the pull-ups, nigel and bryan baited me with a carrot and stick in terms of 10 superbrie, if i could do 10 pull-ups LOL. I found it hilarious HAHAH. But for all that motivation,...

earth hour.
Was down with a flu today so couldn’t go church. I’ll be missing church next week too (going to Sentosa woooo!) so that makes 2 weeks in a row. Argh. At least i’m feeling better now. Slept through the day.
Earth hour was… a farce. Okay i did turn off my room lights, but being the only one in my family to observe such stuff, the whole house was alit and it was as bright as...
Actually i still do believe in forever. Call me unrealistic, but that’s what i believe in. I just said i didn’t cos you did. :)

free cone day.
The 1.30pm bell rang and khai soon, hong zhi, youen and i ran past the sh27 ppl all the way from the physics lab to the bus stop, where we waited for jian zhong until thethe whole gang of sh27 ppl arrived. Ah we lost our head start but it was fun nonetheless.
Free cone day was awesome this year! They had 5 flavours including a new one, A Cookie Affair, which was the best one of them all. First i...

march.
The holidays went by too fast. Way too fast. But it was fun, i managed to get some sort of a life back. Watched a couple of movies, up in the air and alice in wonderland in cinemas and frost/nixon, juno and the cove on dvd, all of which were awesome. I finally got my own video rental membership card! Or tag, rather.
Let’s see, monday. Interact orientation. Totally awesome, but personally i...

I’m crushed under a pile of holiday homework which i haven’t managed to start on yet. Oh mannn. I spent the whole day trying to understand chem cos i couldn’t do any of the tutorial questions at all which is scary and depressing. I think i’m gonna buy the chem textbook but it’s $200 omg.
Oh i bought new earphones and a novel today (Alice in Wonderland). Quite cool....

I made a last-ditch attempt to talk things through. For a moment there i really had hope that it would get better from here, but i guess honest communication might not be best in some situations. But i know i have tried my best, perhaps it just wasn’t good enough, perhaps it couldn’t have been good enough.
I feel sad, but at least i feel.
I AM SO STARVED FOR A MOVIE IN A PROPER CINEMA, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO.
In other news, survivor was awesome. That was a genius blindside. In the words of Sarah, that was ‘some awesome shit’ that went down. I love reality tv.
And i realised the lyrics of Think have really nothing at all to do with my freedom from chinese, i just wanted to link it to Siobhan Magnus, the...

I’ll never have to take another chinese lesson again for the rest of my life. Spoke to Yang Lao Shi, my secondary sch chinese teacher over the phone afterwards to tell her about it, hope she still rmbs me haha.

road run. american idol. survivor.
Today was road run so sch ended early. I managed to jog all the way through the 3.5km so quite pleased with myself haha. When with khai soon and wei jian to have lunch at the burger shack, which is totally awesome. I’m definitely going there to mug for As later in the year.
There’s a ton of good movies coming up in both cinemas and television. All the tv movies always turn to gold...
