Synthesize
Alright, after all these days of abandoning my blog I have returned. (=
I've got a new comp cause' the old one's on the verge of breaking down (yes it hasn't broken down yet). Pretty nifty, and yes, I can play with good graphics and no lag! =D
But enough of that boring talk, it's time to update my wants.(since I've accomplished the last of them, what a feat! =P)
And also, get a new skin. I'd love to talk about school but I've got better things to talk about than that. (=
Life's just not a machine. One should not wrongly define "defiance".

FreeFall
So, lets continue from where with left off. *Sigh* Tuesday Nights...
Day 3We got to wake up late because of day 2's "amazing time in the woods". (= After that, we went to see some erm...old town. Then we just went to the airport and set off for Lijiang, nothing much. =D
Day 4Hmm, I can't remember.....=P.....oh yes!
Today we went up the snow mountain, man how could I forget. =D
First, there was this open-air gondola that took us up to halfway up another peak. There we just walked here and there before going back down and having lunch, that was just to pass time I guess?
Then they started giving out oxygen cans, well that was before that, after lunch it was the big extra overcoats. =D
Then we took the cable car up to almost the peak. Outside there was cool snow which had frozen because the sun was shining already. I thought it would be easier than climbing Bukit Timah Hill so I started to climb and climb. Well you can't blame me, I've never been so high up before. =D
So then Jing Shen couldn't take it. Being a good friend(naturally, =P), I waited for him slowly as we went up part by part. Then halfway he gave up and told me to finish the "last part". So I just left him(okay, so i'm meaner than I seem =D) and continued to climb. You really feel helpless when you have to stop after 2 flights of steps.
Okay to make the long story short, I got to the top, no oxygen. (=
And to make it long again, I made a stupid mistake: I climbed the bloody peak twice. =.=
There was this couple from China blocking the path on the left, so I thought: the right path is just a flight of steps, in the end the left also must climb...^^....stupid me. =D
So I climb and I see "4760 metres" or something, I really couldn't bother remembering. ;) So I look to the left where the China flag is there flying like mad and it does seem higher than the platform I was on now. So I climb DOWN the steps on the left without realising and of course, went back UP to the China flag to see "4760". Sigh.....=.=
Anyway, I was lucky I made it, so I fumbled for the camera and took 1 single picture of the bloody flag(I couldn't bear wasting 30 bucks for a bloody medal, oh no ><). And with almost blue fingers from the taking of 1 photo, stuffed the phone back in my pocket, and started to go down. So fun, I did it with no oxygen, what's oxygen? (=
Alright alright, so I'm too lazy to type 5 6 7, I will soon enough. For now, leave me to finish my homework. =D

Dead
Argh...all this stuff is giving me a headache. Nevertheless I shall write about the OEP thingy. (=
Day 1Before getting on the plane, a most wonderous thing happened to me: I got seized.
"Boy, you got compass or not?"
"Erh, compass?"
"Yes."
I dug into my bag and fished out my 2-in-1 thermostat and compass from my jacket and showed it to the officer. He looked at it with immense curiosity.
"...No, no, not this compass."
"Huh? Then which one?"
"The draw circle one, you know?"
And sure enough, in my pencil box, a mathematical compass. So I got seized for that.
After arrival in airport, so-on-and-so-forth, I realised that I forgot to bring my thermometer. Sigh...
The rest of the day was pretty boring, apart from seeing Kee break his 2 magnetic toy thingies 5 minutes after he bought them, gg. (=
Day 2We were supposed to go visit some panda reserve for the day, so yeah we set off on the bus, which took a really long time. By the time we reached the panda place, we were left with 1 hour to look at them, so 1 hour it was, climb back on bus, and viola!~ We got stuck at some roadblock.
The time went by, and by the time they detonated the stuff, cleared the debris, it was 10pm. Good effort indeed, at least we didn't need to stay overnight. ;)
And time passes very easily when you play those old-school Create-on-the-Spot-RPGs. Jing Shen still can't forget his cargo and the jump for joy thing. =P
I'll continue with the other 4 5 days tmr or something. Just can't be bothered I guess. =D
Look at me,
Look and see.
I have changed,
We're all deranged...

HardWork
Just a short short update.
I went to Chengdu/Lijiang for OEP, but I shall not talk about it till tomorrow because I'm too tired and I was just too occupied with my game earlier in the afternoon. =P
Anyway, nothing interesting as of today, just went down to Sim Lim at 11 to buy my BC and come home, install, and play la.
Slow and painful,
That's whats become of me.

Surprise
Right, just a short update.
In the morning, I was about to get to class when I saw the notice board. Okay, so there's this warning about you-get-DP-if-you-don't-turn-up-for-training. Right, so after opening the door, I go back to the notice board and notice(no pun intended, oh wait, pun intended ^^) another notice(yet another pun, is it? =P) pinned up. I had actually thought it was a NCC Air notice, but no.
There was the NCC Land training, and I had to go tmr too. =P
Ah well, lessons continued as per normal. Well not until Chinese, I mean After Chinese. (=
After Chinese was Bio, and we forgot to clean the board. Oh noes.
After more or less 50 pushups, lessons carried on as per normal. (=
Right nvm, so then at recess I learnt from Diggor...Amos(!), that this Chamber thing I had to go for wasn't because I got promoted to Advanced, no.
I was in SYF...oh noes, I'm too noob for that.
Oh well, hard year here I come. ^^
Just when I manage to adapt, to squeeze into the ever-rushing society.
You stop me, and say you love me.
Then the world stops, ceases to move.
And then what?

Crap
Right, so let's get started.
The usual. Wake up, wash up, eat, board bus, get to school, get the key, open the door, slack, and go for assembly.
Assembly start, assembly finish, go back to class.
Alright, so now, the form teacher gives us 3 rules, namely:
Respect
Responsibility
Readiness
So he talks about these 3 thingys.
He says respect is the basis of humanity. If there was no respect, there wouldn't be just noise, there would be war. He said you don't respect in the hope that you get respected back, that was conditional, selfish.
In actual fact, you'll never get liked by everyone in the world. Someone or something is bound to clash with you, hate you, despise you, mock you in everything you do.
So by following the rule, you're supposed to respect this person back. Hard to do? Almost impossible.
No one single person is perfect and this hinders us in trying to do the above. If everyone were to be able to respect each other unconditionally, then there wouldn't be anymore catastrophe, no more war.
Yet the Earth wages an everlasting war on every single being that exists on it, opening cracks in it's shell, making it's waters move. More deadly than any bomb, and those who fall in the fire don't usually come back dead or alive.
So when will we respect the earth, much less respect each other?
He says that by being responsible, there will be efficiency in the task at hand. Things can get done with less bumps in the road.
So what actually leads you to this conclusion, textbooks? Classes? Is that really it?
No one single person is perfect, and this hinders us in trying to be fully responsible in whatever we do. Can you be fully responsible for that tree chopped down to make that textbook, the oil mined from the bottom of the ocean, damaging all that is around it, for the electricity you have today? Even I'm not perfect, all this electircity is wasted trying to type all this.
So, by not being responsible, we don't respect the Earth and it does what I've mentioned earlier. Note I'm just making use of the Earth as an example. It can apply to anything else. Am I respecting it here then?
He says that readiness gives speed, so paired with responsibility, the tasks at hand are done with speed and efficiency. Is that all you really want? Just the things done, nothing learnt?
No one single person is perfect, so this will never happen. It might happen to all material lessons, but that's material. You need to see beyond it, only then you'll learn the true lesson...
Oh great, I stil have a headache. Ignore the crap, time to move on with life. (=
I want a lesson on how to save a life.
Can I look beyond that? I guess so.

Fine
Alright, so I wanted to switch over to Blogger v2.
So I hunted around for a nice skin.
Then after giving up, I switched and found that.
I don't need a new skin. ><
Oh well.
School's starting.
So all the best to everyone. It's a new year.
New year, new beginnings.But some are just too late.
