Saturday Night Fever

OK, besides doing a bit of magic (as in magic squares) from 9 to 9.40, and I slacked during that time as well, so I only clocked about 8 mins of work, I had a fun time at waterpolo (wow, must be a first, or maybe its cos there was no swimming, I wasn't fined for going to the gym with sandals, and scored 2goals, one a solo), was amused during drill in BB, and played captain's ball with some really wierd (or as officers say, 'special') sec one's and basically thats all we did at BB. After being ill-treated by my piano-exam-stressed sister, I bathed and was off to band night with the knowledge that I was going to get free tickets=provided by Ivan from Zheng Hao.
You know what? Never trust that idiot, Zheng Hao, he gave us ticket stubbs, but thankfully managed to get in, so maybe he is trustworthy. Anyways, great concert, I loved the music, but thought that after the interval, the band seemed to screw up abit. Oh yeah, I had to reserve 9 seats for various people, and you know what? I had to reject like 10 others, I really felt bad, but whatever, I was polite, apologised, so its not my fault. During the performance, some members of the audience were super stupid/crazy/shameless, shouting things like 'kenneth foo(or whatever his name was), your girlfriend is here!" and "kenneth, I love you!", I mean how nuts can someone get. Ivan and I sneaked into class and my waterbottle was not under the desk(crap). Continued making stupid jokes, the perfect tonic after a sh** week, with teacher's scolding, frustration at football, math test, etc. Only shock-tactics in bio show-and-tell which captivated the audience was good, and now the band night. Marcus was super pro today, even though he is in percussions, unlike Zheng Hao, Darren, Milton, Kenneth Lim, Bryan Chua a.k.a world's best, Li-Jie, etc. Thank you band, for an entertaining performance (and especially for the free tickets, or is it stubbs?).

Madness in Sense

5 free periods, 2 periods of slacking, and 1 period of paying attention, good football during reccess, Chinese teacher 'forgets' that there is remiedial at 2.30, sounds like a perfect school day? Wrong. Not only was I positively bored for the last four periods of school, I was conned into waiting until 2.30 for a stupid lesson which never came. Chua Chin Haw is an asshole of the most screwed up kind. Alright, so I did play loads of football until 2.30, but so what? I could have gone home at 1.40 and played computer, listened to music, and play football as well! Then had to run around for half an hour out of decency to try and locate the missing teacher. Not in the staffroom, not along sec2 or 3 corridors, where was here;probably playing championship manager in some Saddam Hussein-like hole in the messed up looking rugby pitch. Went home, had tuition, all fine. Then the fight. My sisters are gits, they irritate me and I tolerate for a while, when I retaliate they scream, cry, get pissed with me as if I am not allowed to shout back. One was glaring, the other had a startled look, as if I had just committed an unthinkable crime. Well, screw both of you. Oh yeah, before that Charlotte decided she did not know how to print out her homework in an A3 format, and I connected the com., and waited... 10 minutes, finally, I asked where she was-she was doing her homework research first and told me off, saying that she had told me she was doing research first. Bloody bitch you didn't, you came to my room and told me you needed help to print your bloody work and led me to the printer and even said you will help me carry the laptop. What a bloody liar. Anyway, back to the present. After the fight I quickly finished dinner and sought solace by playing com. but mom wanted it, fair enough. My temper cooled when she said I could start studying whenever I wanted. Doing work was fun tonight, I kept interrupting my sister when she was trying to learn her history by answering my mom's questions. After work, however, she pissed me off again by bringing up the research issue. Why the heck she was so adamant that A3 was the only possible size only she knows. She even cut up the papers beforehand to A3 size. How dumb is that? The printer naturally couldn't print the stuff and she got angry, claiming she didn't know how to use the com. Yeah right, she's just to lazy to try to learn how to use it properly, hence I have to forever do her dirty work. I had to reset the margins, edit her whole assignment to fit an A3 size paper before finally printing it on A4 paper. I told her to cut the paper up into A3 size, duh, common sense right? I forgot, she also insisted on a particular colour combo, really testing my patience to the maximum, I just wanted to write this stupid blog, why is there so much trouble? After that my dad wanted to use it, in a foul mood, I said I had no intention of using it and he could keep it. I left the room saying that I'm the only one with common sense in this house. I think they got the message on my mood, cos a few minutes later, my dad came in with the com., saying I could have it. Oh, well, so here I am now, with the laptop at last, but crap, its so late, and besides typing this, I can't be bothered to do anything else.

Maths, Magic, and Millions of words to learn

Today I finished the Da Vinci code, wow, like two months after eveyone else, but I only got it on Monday. Anyway, its a good book, but is really controversial; how could Jesus be married to Mary? A bit blasphemus, that. Anyway, after all the codes and mathematics and logic, it was the perfect time to crack my own code, how to do the magic square. Crap, it was more difficult than I thought, oh well, at least nobody else seems to know how to do it. As for the third part of the title, well, chinese test is on wednesday, and I still can't seem to be able to learn all four chapters thoroughly(as in memorise how to write it, how to make sentences with every word...) and I think I'm screwed. I have no idea why I've been so consistent in writing blogs recently, I guess that that shows that I'm wasting time, terrible. Didn't go to church for the third week in a row, feel really bad, but thank God that He will forgive me. Instead was forced to watch the woman in black, some horror play which is supposedly award wining in England. Really spooky. The ghost was super scary and thank goodness I was in the front row of the balcony, had legroom to slouch whenever neccessary-which was quite often.The twist at the end was really really shocking, ala. the ring. My cousin did no favours by gripping my shoulder at opportune moments, and the lighting and sound was really real. However, the acting was good, and I will probably get nightmares about this show for a long time. The most embarrassing part for me was also the end, when the ghost suddenly appeared. She didn't scream-wo girls in the audience did. You know what? I didn't know that until my cousin told me after the show, and I thought that that was the most shocking and frightening moment! Stupid audience, they saboed me, I hope nobody finds out. Oops, did I just tell you, nooooooo! Never mind, I gotta go now, please pray that I sleep well!

BB, waterpolo, dinner, can't I just turn back time?

Saturday really is the crappiest, yet most interesting day of the week. I skipped waterpolo cos it was raining, but the BB was really shocking. First, I saw the waterpolo players in school at 1.15pm, so crap, nobody had the guts to skip one training-or is it the other way around?Hmm... After 'ushering' and setting up the buffet, we started playing with Jerome's food, like spraying whipped cream onto the beginning of our digestive system. I actually meant to give the food back to Jerome but oh well... that's the price you pay for not being their and your stuff is in your friend's hands. Sorry about that...
The worship session was awesome, far better than chapel. I think the decibel level must have been 10 times higher with 15times less people. For a long time, and even right now, I have believed that people don't sing during chapel as the organisers don't seem to know how to choose songs which are well-heard of. If we don't know the lyrics and tune, how are we supposed to sing? Also, let students form a worship band, like those in EP. Why do you have a worship band EP when you don't let them play during chapel and instead let either a) Old teachers (tan see keng, et al), b) Older teachers (Grace Kwee), or c) Debaters(ok, maybe just one or two, but don't you get the feeling that its always the same old people on stage?). Oh yeah, we're admin. now, and guess what? Majority of us are still lance-corpral! Only seven on-people got promoted except one... xiang un! How the heck did he become a corpral, he couldn't even march properly! Nevermind, only seven got promoted out of 50> people, so I probably will get promoted at the year's end. Played football at last, first time in many days, wow, never would have imagined that at the start of the year, people getting lazier...
Had a family reunion with cousins from the US coming over. I babysitted them with my usual cousins(as in I see them every week), and was shocked to learn that kindergarten kids these days listen to Linkin Park, Nickelback, and movie soundtracks(shrek 2, MI2, etc). And they watch Spiderman2, Shrek2, Harry Potter... Kids these days, so naugthy, I remember when I was a kid... used to be a kindergarten and montessori celeb. Everyone chasing me in packs in kindergarten, by themselves in montessori, well as ivan said, i did look cute when i was young (xiang un said i look cute today, is that good or bad?). I used to run every time... those were the days...no homework, just going to friend's house to play, or to mine. Power Rangers, playstation, winnie the pooh, batman, spiderman, bomberman, superman, digimon... i wish i could turn back time to when i was young(er)...
Anyway, hosting them was fun, two glasses of riesling(ice wine), talking crap to parent's about how wonderful their children are(they really are cute, all have little bits of me in their personalities) and how my mom is a modern woman who listens to GNR, the darkness(its not my music, really!) Also ate like a pig, so much food, so little time...lol.
In conclusion, my life is really busy right now to the extent that today is no longer saturday, its sunday, which means its time for bed. Ciao, zai zian, goodbye, Au Revoir, Sayonara, Arreverdecci...

Sorry I Can't Be Perfect

This has been one heck of a crap week. Didn't play football today thanks to those people who don't seem to be able to currb their hunger. I mean, breakfast at about 6am, and now a full meal at 9.10am, are all of you that desperate to eat? I dunno, maybe that's why they're all so tall and I'm so,erm, small.Anyway, after that I spent the physics lesson making dumb (lame) jokes to Kenneth Tay and Melvin. Dharma was such a b***, I mean, I did nothing during LA(A) and she singled me and Zheng Hao out for being sleepy. I mean, come on, just because we were silent doesn't mean we're dead, right? Then she accuses me of stoning during her lesson,"Ethan, you're thinking about something else, or is it someone else?"
What's her problem, what did I do? If she's trying to hint something to me, like I'm a bad boy, then why not just tell me, I am at a loss-and so was the rest of the class, who didn't seem to know why she was 'picking' on me. IHS was the most fun lesson of the day, hilarious. It just proves that our class is talented at these kind of things, acting, history, etc.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce that we weren't the class that Ms Chock was ranting about during PC lessons. LOL, so dharma, does that FINALLY prove to you that we aren't the most ill-behaved class in the level? OK, we are frequently caught misbehaving, but other classes are just as culpable (if not more culpable), to the accusations levelled at us. We have been made the scapegoat for too long while other classes escaped the limelight and infamy. Boring tuition today, except for when Tim Lim and Michael Koh came. We started cracking lame jokes (or was it just my jokes which were lame?) and had some sort of a party in class.
I am trying desperately trying to do EOS, but have absolutely no idea what to do, never mind, I just won't pass up the draft tomorrow, or whatever nonsense I have done. Argh! I still haven't done my POD and chinese, why can't I just finish everything? To all my tutors and parents who believe that I am very responsible, sometimes I just can't take the load, I'm sorry I can't be perfect.

Life's Like That

You know what? I have finally gotten used to Carol Low and she's a wonderful teacher. i mean, singing 'yesterday' in class and behaving like a woodbridge patient really is a huge change from the bore of Alistair Chew, anyway, now I have to adapt AGAIN! On Monday I started laughing for no reason in the Physics lab... for 10 minutes+tearing eyes! I suffered a recurrence while handing out IHS notes to 3.15 in front of their class and Carol Low, lol. Anyway, I wonder why I seem to have emotional dysfunction, laughing at all sorts of peculiar times. Back to today, I went for another ill-fated waterpolo training and nearly died of 2 cramps, numerous stitches and crap swimming-as usual. Got dumped to train the sec one's and could not be bothered- just went through the motions from 4-5.15pm. Really, I run faster than most polo players and could probably beat a few sec one's and certain school team players, but why does my swimming suck? I honestly don't know, darn swimming lessons when I was 5-12 don't seem to work. Whatever, I can't be bothered about my sport, why am I still in it? Just to keep fit so that I can do well for the up-coming cross-country-I really want gold, I'm sick of bronzes. Oh well, I guess its time for supper, gtg, goodnight.

What am I doing at this time of night?

Normally I'd be sound asleep by now, but I am not. Why? Cos my parents are in Australia and can't hog the com anymore(at least until monday)! What a crap Thursday. Normally it is a slack day in which time flies by. Not today, scolded by dharma, ISO teachers, and Ranjee, I felt like going home during recess. The China scholars looked wierd, were smelly, but I don't have anything against them. After all, we shouldn't be ephro... what was the word Ranjee used again? Anyway, it was a fun IHS lesson, I kept laughing at Da Ren Chew-ed while making myself part of the definition of cannibalism. After school I discovered that there ws no gym and I 'forgot' my trunks, lol. Went to NTUC to buy torture equipment for games day on Saturday(why am I the IC?) and went crazy buying all kinds of sauces and flavourings to spice up the guys with. Tuition was slack for the first time this term. Except that Ben Soh kept using me as a shot put in class a.k.a darren. I also had fun with Beng's camera phone, taking stupid mug shots and 'spy tv' shots of the class. I really want a new phone. A few days ago it didnt work and I thought that after 3 years, I would finally be rid of my $6 phone... but no, the stupid phone started working the next day, I really had this urge to throw it down the balcony and smash it to pieces, but of course I didn't. Now that I think my songs have been downloaded, I shall go to sleep and officially end another ranting session at Ethan's nonsensical nonsense blog.

2 idiots and a funny chem teacher

Today was a pretty good day considering that it is Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday are by far the worst and longest days of the week. Chemistry was fun today, half the class got chased out under comic circumstances and Carol Low was really funny while complaining about the duster, our behaviour, etc. She reminds me of a young Toh Siew Tee, or whatever that bio teacher's name is. In the boarding school we used to call her,'toenail'. During biology, Ben Chan and Ken Tay were fooling around while I was trying to act mature nad control them (seriously!). Anyway, IHS was boring as usual, except for laughing at Ming Wei being woken up 3 times in front of everybody, and a sneaky Chinese lesson (one half of 3.16 obviously hasn't learnt its lesson). After school was chemistry tuition. My horrid tutor said that titus andronicus was an alright amateur production. ITS MORE THAN THAT! Titus is capable of winning the Oscars, or Cannes, or any other fim festival. I still dont know how people can write such long blogs, as I cannot think of anything more to say, so um, bye?

In Limbo

I'm currently waiting for Portugal to play Greece in the Euro 2004 Final. Personally, I think that Portugal will beat Greece 2-1 and Cristiano Ronaldo will score one goal. Anyway, today was a pretty good day for me.
First of all, I actually studied hard during Chinese tuition. I talked less than the tutor and that is an achievement, to cap things off, I wrote 2 chapters worth of notes. However, I was riled when she said that I was the cause of all the talking during any class which I attend. What utter nonsense! I admit that I do contribute to the ever-increasing decibels, but (at least on Friday anyway), I am not the main source of noise. In fact, I did all my work before those idiots who framed even managed to start (OK, maybe that was an exaggeration, but you get the point). Normally, I go on Thursdays and the GEPs don't need me to help them break the silence. They told me beforehand on Saturday that they were noisy, but my annoyingly biased tutor claimed on that fateful Sunday lesson that the lesson was quiet.
Why am I using this place to complain to most likely noone. But hey, I think I am beginning to understand the purpose of a blog! It is a stupid way to waste time and write down frustrating nonsense which is boiling inside you, hence you post your thoughts, thinking that some soul out there will sympathise with you. Wow, I'm learning new things everyday, I guess I can be classified as a life-long learner! HAHAHA, I am not lazy anymore, I am learning to be innovative in wasting time by writing blogs. I love making off point/lame/corny/actually good jokes, here are a few which I made up during Captain Jonathan Ng's talk yesterday...
Tim likes Maths, what is his favourite food? TIm Sum!
What is Spiderman's job? A spy, duh!
Who owns St. John's Island? The St. John's!
Why did normal boys leave the Boy's Brigade gay? BEcause they were gayed! Geddit? Be-gayed, bri-gade!

Youth Day

Today was a crap day. I am supposed to be doing IHS homework now but am procrastinating. Madam Yong seems to be unaware that no teacher teaches on youth day, even Steven Ng stopped when he got the hint that we didn't want to study. Daniel Leong... well we hardly study during his periods anyway. The football match was crap, prefects aren't the best footballers in school, so why on earth were they 'representing' us. The sec 4 prefects showed that this year's bunch of sec 3's are a million times better than them. Those senior prefects and councillers were beaten by people 2, 3, or even 4 decades older than them. At leat our sec3's knew how to score, pass, and tackle. 4-4 was not a fair result, the sec3's deserved to win.
I cannot stand the dentist. I nearly fell asleep while she drilled my teeth and complained about their state. She made me late for tuition and now I have to stay back for 1/2 an hour more next week. Not only that, after she screwed the nerves in my teeth, I was sort of gagged by two rubber bands causing me to mumble instead of talk. Oh yeah, then I had to wait 15 minutes to make another appointment- thank goodness it is only in another six weeks!
