I basically woke up rather late. Morning was like usual mornings, but for lunch I had one of my favourites, kway chap (pig intestine soup + some kway (it's not as eeky as in sounds)).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The afternoon was initially planned as a movie marathon thing, but i tested the LAN with Frozen Throne recently lent from Jie Han and it could work, to me and my bro's happiness. So we played it instead, though sadly DotA map still doesn't work and I cannot get it to work, unless someone helps me. Basically I lack the patch. Give it to me, then I can practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The traditional cake this year was from Swensen's, with the help of a voucher. It was a black forest ice cream cake, though the element of black forest was quite little, thankfully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dinner was very nice. Dad bought and prepared lobster (or crayfish) in 2 different ways. Other than that there was also lamb chop prepared by him which I could dip in newly bought mint jelly. These were the main niceties of the dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Wednesday my cell group had also planned to celebrate me, my bro (ben) and samuel's birthday (we all share the same birthday, you know!!!), with a devious plan in mind. One thing was I was busy keeping up for AVA, and Ben was busy ushering in Jia Jun the new believer/classmate into Christ's kingdom. So we managed to avoid the devious plan. Sadly, I we also missed seeing Samuel's creamy face, though if we had manged to, we would be looking through cream as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Sunday (tomorrow) is another birthday celebration by planned by Kenny and Amos on behalf of the AVA (or production team) at the Settler's Cafe, which is one of those places where you can eat and play board games at the same time. It sounds like fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Dad has been hiding my birthday present till yesterday. It's an iPod Nano 4GB!!! It came as a free gift when he upgraded the broadband plan to 1.5 Mbps (I think). Basically now I'm quite happy with this new birthday present, which my father won't get on a normal circumstance as it's really a too high-end MP3 player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-113239096270841925?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/113239096270841925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=113239096270841925' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/113239096270841925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/113239096270841925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/11/around-15-years-from-day-i-was-born.html' title='Around 15 years from the day I was born.'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-113214801580621679</id><published>2005-11-16T21:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-11-16T22:04:40.233+08:00</updated><title type='text'>today. and before.</title><content type='html'>{Listening: I Wish We All Could Win album - The Afters}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few people remember THIS day. I wonder if you do. Nothing on the tagboard regarding today whatsover so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friday was supposed to be a fun day at the chalet (P6GEP class gathering). I was helping out with the BBQ. When Heidi (head sound man of tomorrow's service) called. When I saw the name on my phone, I knew what it was about already. Oh, the deja vu. Basically I was late; completely forgot a rehearsal service I was supposed to go for as assistant. Again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah. This was my second time forgetting about these rehearsals. Except now I was all geared up to enjoy the BBQ, sweaty and tired. Which was completely different. Also I feel wasted on the $11 cab fare!! The afternoon before that was quite fun though, could try out a tandem bike for the first time. Me and Shih Ee kept on trying out "stunts", just like Ziluo with Guan Yu on another bike. That was fun. Tandem bikes. Though I don't think I will go on one again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday was the last BB parade. Nice games at the beach and the sea though. I got dunked (everyone did get dunked). A bit disappointed that I'm not confirmed sgt. Had no time to go home, So took a quick shower without soap. Gee. Went directly to church and usual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sunday had cell. But we went to catch a movie after meeting at church. Zorro was out cause some people watched already. Emily was a bit to spooky perhaps. Then we decided to try Tom Yum Goong, but we were too young. So we settled for Sky High, which I initially thought was a very lame movie. It turned out better than I expected. A nice lame family movie, not a very lame movie. Then they went to play LAN. I was supposed too. But I was sick and had to make my leave. I was already making many tissue wantans in church when we met and played some games first, and by the time we left felt feverish. So I had to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Monday. Rest. Guess too much activities back to back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday. Chinese Intensive as usual. Then Chinese tuition after that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday. Today. THE day. Will elaborate tomorrow or soon. Not letting any cats out of the bag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow. Chinese Intensive as usual. And LAN with Timothy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess I'm rather satisfied with the holidays so far. Just that I need to do speed up on the BB Mag, chase the boys. Also I need more time with God I guess, catch up on time with Him.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-113214801580621679?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/113214801580621679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=113214801580621679' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/113214801580621679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/113214801580621679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/11/today-and-before.html' title='today. and before.'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-113013153206584160</id><published>2005-10-27T16:57:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-29T18:04:00.113+08:00</updated><title type='text'>the inadequacy</title><content type='html'>(posted later than stated, started writing post on date stated.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;havent been blogging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you have been reading the last few blog posts, you'll realise that I have been blogging in a point form sort of way. my opinion now is that blogging is a total waste of time. You wont find much wholesome posts anytime soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'm typing this in the com lab now, with access from jun jie. burning time till the chinese "intensive" course. Come on. Intensive. I'm sure it helps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;last thursday I went to the doctor for a checkup for my heart problem. as i was waiting for the doctor to "check" on me, I was thinking about how this heart will stay with me for life, and yearly checkups will always be there. that's quite a long of checkups. I also wondered if I will have a shorter lifespan than my friends. And the NS situation. et cetera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wont rant on and on about my marks, but lets just say I find it unsatisfactory. My standard has dropped. i shall move on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Been "enjoying" life in school and home. I've been playing way too much computer also so I'm limiting myself (with parents's advice) to 2hrs a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was sick on Thursday, had that "flood" of watery mucus that never seemed to stop. Normally I am supposed to stay at home the next day, then it will be cured. But what is the next day?  Report book day. So i had to go to school, and used 3 packets of tissue (1 courtesy of Ben Tan there, plus more if there was any.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I therefore had to miss openhouse, though I helped by doing the powerpoint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;going on a trip on Mon. hope I can enjoy and take my mind of things.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-113013153206584160?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/113013153206584160/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=113013153206584160' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/113013153206584160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/113013153206584160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/10/inadequacy.html' title='the inadequacy'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-112971240298343035</id><published>2005-10-19T16:46:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-19T17:00:03.003+08:00</updated><title type='text'>finally free</title><content type='html'>managed to catch Goal! yesterday as a last minute arrangement&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the played computer with bro in the afternoon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then played xbox for quite long at night&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;w00t!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-112971240298343035?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/112971240298343035/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=112971240298343035' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112971240298343035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112971240298343035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/10/finally-free.html' title='finally free'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-112918636662177961</id><published>2005-10-13T14:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-13T14:54:19.840+08:00</updated><title type='text'>half the battle won. or lost.</title><content type='html'>Only A Math and Bio left.

Is this what life is about, like george said, a paperchase?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's this time of the year when I read the newspaper and I can't help but feel a vehement loathing for those journalists that write about themselves or their personal opinions about some issue. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And its the Life! section for goodness sake that's what they are supposed to do!&lt;/span&gt; I reason to myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I can't help it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm like complaining about everything like my pants too tight I want to loosen it cause I don't want to wear it so high like a bio rep and look like a nerd. And I've gone into this immature mode that likes to make fun of everybody and put them down. Like I'll be studying at the library and imitate the common phrases of the library auntie in her trademark scratchy throat voice. Is like during the haircheck I made a very crude joke about Mr Maran and his hair I truly  regret it now. Then I'll be making fun of teachers during lessons, especially those sarcastic ones, and may just do an impression of her in a high pitch voice unwittingly, only to realise a george and a emmanuel  staring back at me and a guffawing adri to realise the appaling crime I've commited. Then I will be making fun of john when he's trying to control the class or tell them something in his usual bold manner and I go and do another squeaky voice impression again. Then there'll be those racist jokes that I'm suddenly prone to making with razeen or like  doing lame thai jokes with thosaporn like on bus 31 &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This bus doesn't go to Thailand&lt;/span&gt;.

It really stands out.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Yesterday something weird happened to me. I was in a sense stoning away and not feeling normal. As though I was in a dream. But I knew I was not. I felt freaked out for goodness sake. I was just moving through the day, not clearly remembering anything that had just happened. It was all a blur. I started to happen after English class as I walked down the stairs. It was when I started queuing up at the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;fan choy&lt;/span&gt; stall. I was in my body, yet I was not in my body, like my very person was wandering somewhere else. I don't know how else to describe it. I think I did a lot of things that day that I would normally not do if I was not myself...so please forgive me if I have offended anybody. I was sorta cured after my shower and tuition. But I played a while of maple just to make sure. By dinner I felt myself again.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Perhaps someone's been fiddling with my neurones and synapses. Please pray for me.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; -------&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Exams are round the corner,&amp;nbsp; on 7 Oct. I've been studying at the library with Adri most of the time, doing A Math papers. Aiming for 10 pts and below. Do pray for me and my exams too, that I won't be distracted like now with things such as typing blog posts. Also pray for our Victorian Sec 4s, who have a very disappointing Prelims. Pray that their 'O' Levels will do much better.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; God Bless all of you in all your exams.&lt;br&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-112815619999854654?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/112815619999854654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=112815619999854654' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112815619999854654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112815619999854654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/10/monotony-and-countdown.html' title='the monotony and the countdown'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-112549658353042108</id><published>2005-08-31T21:49:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-08-31T21:56:23.536+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Teachers' Day</title><content type='html'>Today's teacher's day celebration has been rubbish, so lousy as compared to last year.

I won't say why. Perhaps some of you know. Most likely you know about the co-ed issue at Victoria School.This is my stand: against.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victoria is a premier secondary school is Singapore, with a rich history of 129 years. We are recognised for our rich tradition of excellence, and our ability to groom upright and balanced individuals with leadership qualities. We are dedicated to instilling in Victorians a spirit of achievement, and nurturing them into becoming innovative and respectable leaders. Since its establishment in 1876, Victoria School has made significant contributions to Singapore by producing Queen's scholars, lawyers, doctors, engineer, teachers, trade unionists, and army officers. Members of Parliament, Ministers and businessmen. We are very pleased to record all these for future Victorians.One of our core values is&lt;strong style="font-weight: normal;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Tradition&lt;/span&gt;, which aims for Victoria School&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; to build on our rich tradition.  &lt;/span&gt;It is remarked that&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;our long and illustrious history is our pride and inspiration. We will develop in our students a sense of belonging to the school, loyalty to their alma mater and rootedness to Singapore. &lt;/span&gt;In our school logo, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the torch symbolizes truth and the passing on of a tradition&lt;/span&gt;. It also          illuminates the way of Victorians who venture forth to excel beyond the          shores of Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Victoria School&lt;/strong&gt; aims to provide a stimulating environment that promotes life-long learning for high-calibre students from Singapore and abroad, as well as inculcates in them the values to be responsible and effective individuals. &lt;strong style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;Our mission&lt;/strong&gt; is to be a premier school &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;recognised for          our rich tradition of excellence&lt;/span&gt;, and our ability to groom upright and balanced individuals with leadership qualities. We are dedicated to instilling in Victorians a spirit of achievement, and nurturing them into becoming innovative and respectable leaders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our School Motto is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nil Sine Labore (Nothing Without Labour)&lt;/span&gt;, which is why we Victorians are not giving up our tradition without a hard fight, dedicating all our labour to the cause we believe in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know that there are many schools in Singapore, and we are one of the premier schools. We know that we are one of the only premier schools that have not adopted a collective integrated programme with our respective JC. We know that we are the only government boys' school left in Singapore. That makes us unique and special. It is not time to jump on the bandwagon, but still be able to remain as we are and still excel in this highly competetive educational arena.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To support its mission, Victoria School is committed to the following:&lt;br /&gt;Continuing and maintaining VS' quest for excellence and integrity in all its undertakings.&lt;br /&gt;Recognising and rewarding performance and achievement at all levels.&lt;br /&gt;Enhancing quality of programmes by developing partnership with corporations and tertiary institutions, which will ensure the relevance of the programmes offered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Developing programmes that instil the Victoria spirit in its members and continue the rich tradition of the school.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The importance is on the students and the Victorian Spirit. We also aim to enhance the quality of programmes by developing partnership with corporations and tertiary institutions; which will ensure the relevance of the programmes offered, we should not allow this to pressurise us to break our tradition simply for the sake of the "tertiary institution".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;Show your support by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Signing the petition at &lt;a href="http://vs.jonaize.com/"&gt;vs.jonaize.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put [son of victoria] in front of your msn nick&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use this as your display picture :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj/sons.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj/sons.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continue to gain insight at &lt;a href="http://wewillnotforget.blogspot.com/"&gt;wewillnotforget.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-112460703700138220?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/112460703700138220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=112460703700138220' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112460703700138220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112460703700138220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/08/victoria-in-singapore-there-are-other.html' title='Victoria in Singapore, there are other schools we know'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-112385347400516653</id><published>2005-08-12T21:27:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-08-12T21:31:14.023+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy 40th</title><content type='html'>Sorry for being late but I have been wanting to say this: Happy National Day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and I realised that my blog in firefox doesn't work I wonder if anyone can tell me how to remedy the problem.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-112385347400516653?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/112385347400516653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=112385347400516653' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112385347400516653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112385347400516653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/08/happy-40th.html' title='Happy 40th'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-112342053275816194</id><published>2005-08-07T21:09:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-08-07T21:19:00.893+08:00</updated><title type='text'>at Mr. Hazrin's command</title><content type='html'>Mr Hazrin wanted as to blog about the Thailand delegates.

We won Gold. Second year round. Second Company. Team A (ME!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Pflug, Me, Marcus, Jie Han, and Weng Keong. Trudging over all of Sembawang. With Daniel's and my leadership and Bible Quiz expertise, with Marcus and Jie Han's in-depth knowledge and bearing, and with Weng Keong's support and encouragement, we won managed to win Gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it could have been any of our teams. The other teams could have won Gold as well. I am sure, that if the the rule that only one team could win something was lifted, all our teams would be in the top five, let alone top ten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to thank God for his favour. Daniel, Weng Keong and me sacrificed important time which other teams were using to study very hard, and went Sonicfest. Initially, I was afraid of taking this risk. But now I don't regret it. Sonicfest gave me an awesome worship experience. I sang at the top of my lungs, feeling his presence during the performances by Planetshakers and SonicFlood. It brought me closer to God, which I believe was a warm up in a sense for BQ. I'm glad that they put these bands at the end, cause I was late on both Friday and Saturday, and late &lt;em&gt;just in time&lt;/em&gt; for their performances.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sick during Bible Quiz and the saturday night of Sonicfest, but I really wanted to win BQ, it was too late to withdraw, and for SF'05, I wanted to not waste my money but more importantly, enjoy God's presence again in celebration for our win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4916/384/400/sf%20balloon.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sunday was a usual weekend.

Steven Spielberg exposes me to yet another one of his masterpieces which showcases his literary prowess. It's so meaningful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The irony is that in my brain TV shows are filed under the category: less important, while homework is filed under the category: more important, and yet I watched the whole show (while doing work) anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's school for anyway? Is it for &lt;em&gt;life&lt;/em&gt; or for &lt;em&gt;living&lt;/em&gt;. From what I see, Mathematics and Sciences is essential for &lt;em&gt;living&lt;/em&gt; and doing work but I see no practical value whatsoever. If you ask me, Humanities like Literature is something more identifiable to me as a subject worthy of learning as it teaches us about &lt;em&gt;life&lt;/em&gt;. But yet as I pursue the true meaning of &lt;em&gt;life&lt;/em&gt;, I miss out on &lt;em&gt;living&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;creating a vicious cycle which leaves me left behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm now distracted by blogging when actually I'm supposed to be doing my CA Assignment for my Geography Elective, which is a Humanities subject, by the way. But though it is a Humanities subject, I see no logic in showing how two of the following factors have influenced the development of some electronics industry of India. Maybe why I'm suddenly so pro-literature is because perhaps I'm not taking it now, and &lt;a href="http://www.vjc.moe.edu.sg/vip/"&gt;the grass is greener on the other side&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mdm Nabliah is right. I should be less distracted by things like these and concentrate 100% on my work so that I can excel. I've got no problem with that. But I shuddered when she said "be like another Mark [Francis Thompson]". I don't want that. I want to be myself. I don't want to be like Ewan McGregor in The Island. Okay, I'm digressing. I &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; be less distracted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I can't.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-112161194632487078?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/112161194632487078/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=112161194632487078' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112161194632487078'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112161194632487078'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/07/left-behind.html' title='left behind.'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-112098575653538061</id><published>2005-07-10T16:55:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-10T16:59:54.910+08:00</updated><title type='text'>lost.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Losing a wallet is painful. Especially for the first time. At least to a 15 year old. (Okay, I'm 14, but going on 15.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was on a bus 76, rushing to church for my AVA duty, for which I was already late. I was with Daniel (Pflug) and Jeremy (Lo).  I dropped on the floor I think. And I left the bus assuming it was in my bag. I could not call Daniel to find it as he did not have a handphone. If only he did. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's not the important stuff inside like the twenty plus dollars and the EZ-Link card that I am really saddened about. It's more of the sentimental value it holds. An OP wallet with a design I pride over the other ones, which I cannot find anymore as they probably do not produce it anymore. Quite new actually. Also inside are the movie and theatre tickets, reminding me of the good times I've spent with my friends. And there's also  the polaroid picture of me painting the GEP Resource Room during Victorian's Challenge, taken by Mr. James Koh. Then there's all the other special cards  which I treasure, because if I lose them I do not know how to get them again. But I have lost them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I pray to God and hope that there is a remote chance someone manages to find it and bring it back to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-112098575653538061?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/112098575653538061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=112098575653538061' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112098575653538061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/112098575653538061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/07/lost.html' title='lost.'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-112083886619480524</id><published>2005-07-09T00:04:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-09T00:10:11.076+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Quote of the day:</title><content type='html'>&lt;blockquote&gt;"You scum of the earth.

The ollie, eluding me for so long. Give me time to conquer it. Please. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After giving up and leaving my deck in the cobwebs, picked it up again at the sight of two decks of my friends last Friday night. They invited me to try again. I did. And I keep on trying. Drenched in the sweat on Sunday. In the carpark, gripping at the edge of the wall and trying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to do it. Though I am not cut out for it. I do not dare to fall. I cannot take failure. I cannot take the shame. Lifting the deck of the floor a little is not enough. I want to achieve everything. Or nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basketball. Easier but the issues come in again. I do not want to be shadowed by the veteran players. I am new, but I want to improve. I have. But still, I do not want to be mocked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easier because I have people with me. I am not alone and I am not the worst. I am at a certain stage.

When I am with the others, falling is something I cannot take. Because on this ladder, I am on the last rung.

The only person that can perhaps understand what I may have went through is Samuel, who coincidentally signed up for the same camp as mine, though it's quite sad he was in Bravo Company instead of Alpha, so he may not have gone through exactly the same as us. Frankly and truthfully, our company was really sort of slack; I'm not complaining to that of course, I'm thankful I dun need to do night drill like they had to. Poor Samuel. (and the other VS Boys too).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there's that guy heading the camp called Mr Alex Yeo. From the start I didn't like him, I think no one did. The way he does things, the way he talks, his face...for some reason I didn't like him. Or perhaps that is an understatment. We made fun of him and his funny way of talking with words like what, and why - he would pronounce them as hwat, or hwy, hence the title of this post. We especially noticed as he is very sarcastic and he always asked rhetorical questions, like "hwy is this like that?", or "can you tell me hwat you are doing?". I shall stop ridiculing him now, as that is not gentlemanly behaviour. He should consider himself lucky that a whole paragraph of my blog is dedicated to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh goodness I hope I can pass LDC II. &gt;&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day (yesterday) was sort of a good day for me, Being able to watch some TV cartoons stuff in the morning at home and having good meals bought and brought back by my Ta Yi after arriving at her house in the afternoon. Is like in the afternoon I watched Robots on her TV and ate KFC bought by Ta Yi and other nice hawker centre food bought by my mother and my Amah at the same time, then after that my sister and me played around with her laptop...(her wonderful Sony VAIO notebook with wireless internet! I didn't noe she had it!)...and then after that I tried to finish up my Bible Quiz homework. After a while from then two of my cousins arrived, and we left soon after to Ah Gong's grave to redecorate and tidy it up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We came back and lingyong (older cousin) and I started playing with my Ta Yi's laptop. (I tink i'm getting too hooked onto Netropolis...I even managed to win KangarooIsland. dots.) Later one we played our respective games (he played Dark Throne, something I never heard of) and watched Rush Hour 2 for a while then Ta Yi came back with the nice dinner food like all sorts of hor fun and it became a tri-multitasking matter...lol. Then after Rush Hour we went off to fetch my father and Ben from the airport from their Cambodia mission trip...sad I couldn't go :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I gave him the hallmark card for a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! that I bought quite some time ago when I went out with John, Emmanuel, Walter and Bryan during the Shell Livewire lunch break. Come to think of it this year has been my "giving year". I normally dun give presents and cards but this year I gave birthday presents to some people, like to John who DEMANDED a present, and also a bottle together with Emmanuel to Wayne, and also filled up a glass pepsi bottle with folded stars for my mother on her birthday. + a card for her. I've also been mindful to send smses to those ppl out of my reach...wow. wonderful me. ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;oh no I just realised that the time I blog has been wrong! its GMT -8 actually and I've been blogging in GMT -10... so for all posts before this you can deduct two hrs from the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today after completing some Bible Quiz homework and watching a little TV, I went out, together with Ben with Royston our cell group leader, and his other church frens to eat, mostly in celebration for his birthday. There was this guy I nv seen before, Don, who had nice hair. There was only Daniel from our cell group besides us two twins. The rest were like, at camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went to the Sizzling Rock thing at Clarke Quay, which was very nice but cost a bomb, sadly. After that we walked around somewhere around Orchard around Paragon area. Some of them bought gelato! my bro wanted to share with me but I said no no, we spent too much on sizzling rock stuff already. Then we stopped by at Killiney Kopitiam where Royston treated us to some food to our hungry stomachs. After a while there talking and all, we took our leave and went home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then watched some TV, ate some dinner, did some Bible Quiz homework, watched some TV...the blogged some blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here's a spark of inspiration. after reading edgar allan poe for a while in a book that happened to be by my bedside that I bought quite some time ago, I suddenly wanted to compose a poem...I don't know why. I've been so out of touch with literature and the works and out of the blue this comes by...after some thought this is what I came up...sorry if it's shallow. (It is a code puzzle)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;u&gt;Spelling out my chaos theory&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This world...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lovingly inducing evil&lt;br /&gt;Courting hell easy as temptation&lt;br /&gt;Saying theft economical antidote love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...please tell me what it means. &lt;/blockquote&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogging. Here I go philosophising about it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thing about me and blogging is that my blog is never me. There are things I hide, never telling anyone, cause I am ashamed of it. There are also things I don't say, as it may destroy the image of me this blog is trying to portray. thats one of my fears. But I also don't want this to be a refraction of me, I want it to be a reflection. I want it to be the true me. But it cannot, due to reasons, which include some I have just said. Sometimes I think that if only a machine were invented that could record the brainwaves in my mind, and replay it in your mind, then that will truly be me and that you would understand me the best this way. and if these could be expressed in words, it would be my perfect blog. but sorry readers, that is impossible. this is the best I can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-111928198410483001?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/111928198410483001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=111928198410483001' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111928198410483001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111928198410483001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/06/hwy.html' title='hwy?'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-111867197812267239</id><published>2005-06-13T21:33:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-13T22:15:05.606+08:00</updated><title type='text'>fed up</title><content type='html'>it's one of the few times i'm tired of bb and angry with it.

Perhaps it's a case of blogger's fatigue. or perhaps blogging was a form of escapism for me during school time, but now I have more freedom to fly, and it seems more like a constraint? I dunno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry that I hvnt blogged for so long. But actually do I need to apologise? this is my blog, my personal space, and it's a privilege that I let you peek into my life. Or is it something I owe you guys, a constant posting for ur entertainment, like how digital life defines it. They define it as a fame seeking tool, using xiaxue as an example. And I remember that they said to constantly update your posts so that people will keep on coming. I don't think that was meant this way man. I don't think so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just shopped for my camp today. I feel awkward every time I do that. Went for a movie (Mr. and Mrs. Smith). And i also saw some old primary sch frens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow's my camp. and I have a camp soon after that. Don't expect anything anytime soon.

Finally, after abstaining from it for the whole term 2, I have a chance to play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that we went back to church and played taiti (is this how you spell it?) at the 3rd floor, until about 1.00, then ben and I left for home to do some homework and pack to go jun-en's house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben and me arrived at the church area at aruond 8.00, whereupon we took bus 153 at samuel's instructions but we failed to spot the Shell petrol station and overshot. We then took the bus back and hurriedly went to the Shell station, when we saw them at the overhead bridge. Ben ran forward to meet them, but I couldn't as I was wearing slippers that were hard to run in, and they all started running. (this was because Ben purposely bluffed them that I wouldn't come when he met them, so they didn't wait for me. Ben!) I had to walk briskly to catch up, and my feet were hurting. So I desperately called Samuel and asked them to stop running, and that was when they realised I was there and following them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We arrived at Jun-en's house. It is a nice big house which has a large sort-of-attic, which was to be our temporary residence. Basically, everything went on *quite* normally; we bounced off each other with the huge exercise ball and threw soft tennis balls at each other, tried a hand at jun-en's need for speed underground. Ben went to watch infernal affairs. We later all went down for a pizza dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that our cell group had a lot of fun for the whole night. We first played cluedo and it ended soon enough. We then found the risk set and played a game of risk that took about 5+ hrs i tink, such that that was all we did for the whole night/morning when we actually intended to watch movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After forcefully (it's impossible to end!) ending the risk game at around 5 o'clock in the morning, we decided to turn in. I went to take a shower and then I went up back to the sort-of-attic where they were resting in front of a TV playing Lemony Snicket's: A Series of Unfortunate Events. I dint watch much, I was out cold around the time they just arrived at Count Olaf's house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woke up at around 7.30 for a moment, settled my brother going off and went back to sleep. was very cold! Woke up at around 10.00 and saw daryl playing with justin's sleeping body with those camouflage cream things. (it was his birthday). I joined in and drew stuff on his leg and toes and knees and watsover. Then daryl daringly tried to draw a moustache and I thought he woke up as he wiped it of his face and onto my leg, then appeared to sleep again. I continued to draw again when he suddenly scared me and woke up...actually he was woke when daryl did the moustache and then faked it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The group of us after waking up and eating some breakfast, started to play Monopoly: the .com edition. We played around for a while but I didn't like the rules they had like: you have to land on the estate to build the house. Was very slow moving and aaron and I got bored and quit the game. We then went to play chess, which I thought I appeared to be winning, but suddenly made alot of careless mistakes...and let him checkmate me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a while we set out from jun-en's house, and made our way to church, planning to stop by the "basketball court" to shoot some hoops. It appeared that they shortchanged the old basketball court by replacing it with a sort of "half-court" but it didn't even have the proper markings on the floor, only a line running down it like it was for badminton but it was even too small for badminton. We practiced for about half and hour, after which we took a long walk, and I walked the longest in the direction of the church to grab a bus to go home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I journeyed home on the 53, throat thirsty as I had no more water and was a while since i drank the can of ice-cream soda after playing bball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a good two days spent. With friends.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-111744480085848700?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/111744480085848700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=111744480085848700' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111744480085848700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111744480085848700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/05/stayover-at-jun-ens-house.html' title='the stayover at jun-en&apos;s house.'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-111735341482557274</id><published>2005-05-29T15:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-06-24T20:31:21.646+08:00</updated><title type='text'>well...</title><content type='html'>yups george, I'll keep that in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel better now.

Chasing something and neglecting another. A small slip, and it shatters into pieces. No matter what other small support I may be given, it still is shattered. I want to start anew. I'm like spinning in a washing machine, round and round and without purpose, but I dunno whether when I finally come out, will I be new.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter how I try to make my life look, no matter what I emblazon on it, it broke then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I went for BB almost the whole day. In the morning we had a camp meeting the Daniel called for and in the end was sick to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was much confusion and a little lag while assembling for Bike for Bibles. But in the end we manage to reach Changi Jetty at a reasonably punctual time. I dint know that the Jetty had changed and now it looks nicer. We reached Pulau Ubin. We biked. And clinched the top 3 prizes for our category. Bryan and me as partners came in second. Might as well we are the second company. Though actually it was a draw because the three teams of us were working together and came in together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We went back to the Jetty. And that's when it all happened. The prosecution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was this thing about Weng Keong almost getting lost. Herman, pissed since morning, had like started a questioning of sorts and the blame was passed around though it wasn't really anyone's fault but a human error of sorts. Weng Keong, Bryan (the SQ leader), and Josiah (the Chairman) all ended up having to write long essays. And he said that Bryan won't be SQ leader for the next 2 mths, but I will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to be able to take my mind of matters tml when i go out with my cell group, just like how i forgot everything when i was biking. And I haven't touched my holiday homework, unlike George, neither do I know exactly what there are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shucks.

As I did not bring any useful things like rags, I decided to sweep the floor as for some reason I find enjoyment in (sort of). So I "wrestled" the broom and the dustpan from Jaymond and Thomas and other people. I started sweeping, and was going on fine...when I thought of the treasures hiding behind the class cupboard...the dust that I can gain. I saw an obstacle, a mirror, proudly emblazoned with the words: the power of excellence, and wrapped in cardboard. In haste I moved it aside a little, such that it rested on a chair leg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started to gather my bounty; and hurriedly, such was my greed. I realised that I could only gain of everything if I moved the mirror obstacle further out. And so I did. And in my haste, I neglected the fact that it could not stand on its own, nor was the cardboard which was wrapped around it able to withstand its weight. The center of gravity was not stable. And therefore the mirror slipped out of its cardboard sheath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Without warning, it shattered into pieces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was so sudden, and I did not expect so thick an object to be able to break apart so easily. The sound made many pairs of eyes suddenly look back, but to my surprise, all they provided was help, words of comfort...there was no scorn, nor judgment or blame passed. I was happy, yet at the same time sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wayne put my thoughts in speech, "Seven years of bad luck". Not that I'm superstitious or anything, but he made it even more amusing by helping me calculate when my bad luck would end. "While around you are twenty-one years old." Okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was thinking, if you broke a mirror by random luck or on purpose, would the bad luck you now have cause you to break more mirrors accidentally and extend your bad luck contract? What's with luck man.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-111720468308000812?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/111720468308000812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=111720468308000812' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111720468308000812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111720468308000812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/05/shattered-mirror.html' title='a shattered mirror.'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-111702509052437178</id><published>2005-05-25T19:34:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-25T22:10:43.916+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm sick and tired.</title><content type='html'>I'm sick and tired of people forcing things on me and my friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of A Lim and his stretching of his time at the expense of our time as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of Shell Livewire programme which forces me to do something I do not believe in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of entrepreneurship courses that aims to manufacture every Victorian to be one when there are definitely only a few fit for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of my duties and responsibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of a gradually reduced freedom and reduced time to myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of my guilt and the effect peer pressure has on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of being dependent on others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of the digital life redefining blogging to something else and the hype over the arrogant xiaxue and everything else like those stuff that removes the true meaning of blogging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sick and tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes.

Come to about it, by then I would have taken my 'O' s. then it's truely real freedom for me, and i can enjoy a JC life where things are not as totalitarian as now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, Star Wars III : Revenge of the Sith will give me some good battles to see... so i needn't be that worried about my lack of age which constitutes not watching some good movies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"I don't want to go and watch movie! [The good ones] are all NC16!"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;em&gt;- George&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Monitor says something. But anyway we went to watch Coach Carter. Yes. Coach Carter, when u would already have watched it a month ago. "We" including Daniel, Bryan, John, Khairy, Jarren, Jun Jie, Ren Hao (i dun noe him well is this his name and spelt correctly?) and me. But anywae, SOME people wanted to watch "are we there yet", so that was a VERY good choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were at Cathy Cineleisure. I don't know why to me that place to me connotates a good lan centre, yoshinoya, and a cineplex. And in that order, which is quite sad, since i just discovered this place this year. I think I have not been exploring Orchard properly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there, we *happened to meet* josiah, the clown with big ears who said he already had a "date" when he was just going out with other vs boys. i felt betrayed. couldn't the whole group of us just go out together? why isolate yourselves from us in a 3I clan? why? We all watched the same movie too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lol. Originally I agreed to go Orchard with Bryan to eat lunch and walk around then go to his house to play basketball. then John popped up and told Daniel that they're going Orchard as a 3E class outing and he said I was coming. So torn between the both, I asked them if we could go together. And yeah, we could. It became a random victorians outing, with 3A, 3D, and 3E ppl. Plus a special BB connection of course. And sadly, George &lt;em&gt;bang sae d&lt;/em&gt; us. Ironically, I wanted to &lt;em&gt;*practice*&lt;/em&gt; my basketball as I feel I am no very good 'cause I dun play often enough, but I ended up *&lt;em&gt;watching&lt;/em&gt;* basketball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We travelled there on bus 36, talking and socialising and tricking each other with those tricks like "black magic", "what time is it?" and all those lame stuff. We also cracked very evil jokes about stuff which I dun want to say here. Let it be our little dark secret.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I could have done both as I expected Coach Carter to end in 1 and a 1/2 hours, but it ended in 2 and a 1/2 hours, so it was better to come home and relax. Then I suddenly thought, "I am now free to blog!" and this is what u see now. In between that I ate some nice homemade mum's chicken rice and I'm going to play xbox now! goodbye!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10150022-111632691839861745?l=my-resonance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/feeds/111632691839861745/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10150022&amp;postID=111632691839861745' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111632691839861745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10150022/posts/default/111632691839861745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://my-resonance.blogspot.com/2005/05/phr33d0m.html' title='phr33d0m!'/><author><name>jeremi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10723929979849758483</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://home.vs.moe.edu.sg/homj//blog/boo1.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10150022.post-111595722420526728</id><published>2005-05-13T11:56:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-05-17T18:13:06.210+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Who's Afraid of Friday the 13th?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc6600;"&gt;by Martha Brockenbrough&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So today is Friday the 13th. And if you're thinking, "big deal," you're right. It is a big deal. Such a big deal that nearly $1 billion worth of commerce won't happen, because people are afraid to fly, travel, and shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you're not one of those people, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, I'd bet you are. Maybe you're not a paraskevidekatriaphobe. That's the fancy Greek term for people who fear Friday the 13th. Paraskevi is the Greek word for Friday, and dekatria is how Greeks say 13. Phobe, as you might have guessed, relates to phobia. But I'll bet you do things every single day because--know it or not--you're a little bit superstitious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you yawned this morning (after getting up on the right side of the bed and starting your day off on the right foot), did you carefully cover your mouth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably so. It's what we do to be polite. But there's more to it than this--people used to think that your soul would rush out of your body if you issued an unprotected yawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the same goes for sneezing. You may say "Gesundheit!" or "Bless you!" to be a nice person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what you're actually doing is carrying on a tradition apparently started by the Roman emperor Tiberius. According to one legend, Tiberius would ride in his chariot blessing anyone who sneezed, because a deadly disease at the time, in its early phases, caused sneezing. The more blessings were passed around, the less likely people were to die--or so the thinking went. This same thinking continued in Europe in the Middle Ages, when people were dying of bubonic plague.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saying "Bless you!" isn't so silly, of course. Combine it with the cover-the-mouth-and-protect-your-soul rule, and you are much less likely to spread nasty germs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Friday the 13th is special. It combines Friday considered an unlucky day by some with the number 13, which has long been considered bad news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you never thought of Friday as unlucky. Friday's often payday for us working stiffs. It's the start of the weekend. There's even that "TGIF" restaurant that serves a pretty tasty fried-cheese appetizer (if you want to tempt fate and clog your arteries). Friday is also the Muslim Sabbath and is the day for religious gatherings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Friday also carries negative connotations. For starters, Eve is rumored to have given Adam the apple on a Friday, according to Donald Dossey, founder-director of the Phobia Center in Asheville, North Carolina. Talk about a snack that's spelled eternal heartburn, even in Disney films. What fruit knocked out Snow White? Right. The apple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(The really amusing thing is that the old adage, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," has actually been shown to be true.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the number 13 has been feared for a long time, too--except in Italy, where "Fare tredici!" or "To make thirteen!" is the slogan of the national lottery. There, if you get a thirteen, you win.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About 90 percent of Otis elevators don't have a button for the 13th floor. The U.S. Navy won't launch a ship on Friday the 13th. And, as a former flight attendant once told me, many people just won't fly on the 13th, unless they're headed to Las Vegas. Apparently, the unluckiest day has an opposite effect when you're gambling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the fear is historic: A Norse myth has it that a great dinner party with 12 guests was ruined when a 13th crashed the event and killed the god of joy and gladness. There were also 13 guests at the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, who was crucified on a Friday. Finally, a correctly tied hangman's noose has 13 knots, and executions used to happen on Fridays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, it's no wonder that we sometimes make a big deal out of Friday the 13th, even today, when we're steeped in science and technology, and know a great deal about how the world works.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For most people, Friday the 13th probably means taking minor precautions. Like avoiding black cats. Since I have a black cat, I can say that's probably a good idea on most days of the year. (Sorry, Spot. But you're a bad kitty.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to get into the fun of it, though, Dossey has some wacky precautions you can take to stay lucky this Friday the 13th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stand on your head and swallow a chunk of beef gristle&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Take a holey sock to the top of a skyscraper or a mountain&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Walk around the block with a mouthful of water--and be careful not to swallow it&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tie a sack of peony seeds around your neck (not too tight, though)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;If you don't want to get in on the fun of it, well, I'd say you're missing out. You might even be kidding yourself about how rational you really are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We usually think superstitious people just don't know any better, but that's pretty snobby of us. Superstitions are so common that sometimes we don't even recognize them for what they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it really bad luck, for example, for the groom to see the bride before the wedding? Why do brides wear something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue? Superstitions, all of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I walked down the aisle myself with blue-painted toenails. So far, it's been a great marriage. Knock on wood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#666666;"&gt;Taken from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/columns/?article=fridaythe13th&amp;amp;GT1=6541"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;MSN Encarta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lol.

And Canteen Duty. A Lim really humiliated me but then I had to make the most out of it. Ben Lim and I were fooling around with out dustpans and brooms. "Hey, I got more leaves than you!" "Ha ha I got a big bottle and all you got are a few stupid leaves!" and etc. Stupid conversations to make our canteen duty feel better. To think I was supposed to be a good boy. I broke my New Year's Resolution by not passing up SO MUCH homework on time. Sigh. And to think that SA1s are coming. And Thanks John, for saying that God (still) Loves You when I go down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why on earth did I create this blog anyway, in such a crucial time...it can only be a distraction. I feel my addiction to the computer coming back again like last year, and maybe thats one con of blogging, though I feel that the pros still outweigh them. I always feel better after posting something, or when I customise my template...it makes me feel good that I can actually do something nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One reason why I set up this blog I think, is Weng Keong's constant remarks about " a blogger should never stop blogging" after he learnt about my dead (and hacked =[ ) blog. lol thanks weng keong for being the most supportive blogger I've ever met. But you must understand that you can say that when you are sec 1 or sec 2...but when it comes to sec 3 or sec 4, you may not have the luxury of time. Enjoy your khaki panter years (oh man...John vocab influence. I think I'm using the word "swine" too much as well), while you still can. A lot of Victorians make the mistake of not enjoying those years to their fullest and then regret it in long pants. So ya, enjoy it while you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;That reminds me. BB sec 1s...it pays to be enthu and noticeable but not in an irritating way. yeah. it really affects how you would do in the future...even if you are quiet...at least be quiet and enthu. dun be a poser coz it may not seem to be, but officers and seniors can see thru that easily. Also don't come across as having an AP if you don't, and if you do, its time to change it. Its also good to be united as a batch, and not separate into cliques everytime. All these really affect whether you will get a good post in the council, or even the coveted red-shirts of peer leader or junior leader. Take it from me. I was really quite enthu but had other comittments like gep, and missed quite a few parades in sec 1...i consider myself lucky to even get such a good post in the council already. I know its bad to reveal this fact but people like weng keong, eric, and yiwen are like getting good attention at the moment. I remember being told in Sec 1 by a CLT (Primer) i tink, that when you are in a uniform group and in Sec1, the seniors will already know what path you will take...staying in the shadows or leading the way...I dint believe it den, I tot it was possible to change, but now I look back at it, I realise its true. Sp00ky.&lt;br /&gt;-------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tink another reason why I set up this blog was because of Mdm Nabilah and her talk about blogs that day after the "life stealing NSP"* (*-George) at school...dunno. She's sort of rite, that Sec 3 is not a honeymoon year and also if we are involved in blogging and all these stuff, we shld stop. Maybe not i tink, but jus blog less (though that may be hard to do though its addictive. Is like when I'm studying I can get ideas or tots of what to put in my blog or thinking "has anyone tagged on my board?" and scared that it would get boring or something. Argh. Just have to keep a balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey thank you all for reading my blog and giving me the drive to keep on going.

This is the blog of Jeremy Ho. If you have come here you should know Jeremy so he will spare the introduction. Or if you were randomly blog surfing, you wouldn't know Jeremy, so he need not introduce himself. After all, this is a blog, and you can learn how he's like by reading about his daily experiences and rants. Thank you for visiting this blog.
