Wow, I haven't been using my internet computer for so long that it's freaking me out. What's wrong with me this year? Am I becoming too nerdy that I took too much time off my internet computer and spend it on studying instead? If I were to come up with a few reasons, this is what I'd give.
Only one Humanities subjectIm stuck with those few bunch of sad people that has no choice but to take this subject seriously as we are stuck with it. Yes true. Let me explain why. There's no point in getting an A1 for Geography Elective and getting a C6 for Social Studies. Why? Some smart people decided that the marks would be averaged and used for your overall instead! Put it this way, 75 plus 50 and divide that by two and you get.....62.5! That isn't bad considering you get the A1 in the first place, which I don't think is feasible for me yet. To be honest, I love Pure Geography 10 times more than my current subject because it's 10 times easier! Do you know what I've been learning so far? Subsistence wet rice farming.
Addicted to MathsIt's weird I know but somehow, I'm addicted to it! I think someone influenced me to the point that my head is filled with calculations all the time and I feel as if I'm a calculator. If I remember correctly, I was in the exact same state when I was in Primary 6. During that period, I was always competing in Maths with those nerds in my class. Now as I look back, I don't know why I suddenly lost interest in it in Secondary 1. Maybe its because I hate Mdm Ng Thai Sheng too much and in the process, I started hating Maths too. Now I'm finally gaining back interest in my former favourite subject.
Mr Tan Kee Hoe as Chemistry teacherI've already formed an equation relating to him, never do your work = die. This somehow work up to my advantage very much as I love Chemistry so don't expect me to not do my work. Let me briefly describe how I fell in love with this subject. When I was in Primary 3 or 4, I went to my cousin's house and being the nerdy me back then, I looked at all of his books. I suddenly chose to read up on some science book and strangely enough, it was a Chemistry book. Even before that incident, I was already a Science nerd and that made me too engrossed in reading the book that I can't wait for the time when I'd be taking it as a subject for real. 6 years after that fateful day, my wish finally came true. Mr Tan is a weird teacher in a sense that he will make sure that everyone would do well in his favourite subject. This is of no surprise due to the fact that he is the Head of Department for Sciences. Whats more, if you're in a triple or double science class, he expect that you must get an A. You know what's more scarier? He thinks my handwriting is neat.
Hanging out with nerdsI came to this conclusion due to this quote,"If you train with the best, you will be the best". Although this might not be true for some people, hanging out with nerds has increased my intensity to study more and to be part of their unknown collective. It will be a matter of time before I'd finally be classified as one. As people say, you never know unless you are one of them. What does it takes to be one, people might ask. The answer is simple enough, just study as if your examination is coming soon and it is starting next week! I'm halfway in being a nerd, thanks to people like Sarah, Maths nerd, Navin, Science nerd, my Malay teacher, Malay nerd and Ajit Denis Menezes the guy in 4A who is a full time nerd!
Eccentrically Excellent classWe are the luckiest bunch of people that has the least amount of subjects, if you take Combined Humanities and Combined Sciences as two subjects each. Less subjects to concentrate on means that I have to concentrate more on my subjects! Don't get what I mean? Okay I shall explain. Lets just say that you take only 1 subject, so you need to concentrate a total of 100% of your concentration on that subject alone. If you take 9 subjects, you will have to concentrate 11.1% for each subject. For people like me, I have to concentrate 12.5% for each of my 8 subjects! Okay, if all of the above explaination doesn't make sense, I will phrase it this way. Since we have one less subject to study, our teachers expect us to do better for our studies. Higher expectations means the need to study more and in the process, more stress. This is the first time in my life that my organiser or any diary of mine that I've ever kept in my entire life for that matter is filled for every single day.
Using my other computerI have homework almost everyday and I choose the most suitable place to do it, my bedroom. What else is in there, a computer loaded with music that will never keep me bored, lights, fan, window and sea breeze. All the conditions that a streesed up student like me would ever need to make myself destress while doing homework. If I ever get stuck on a question or feel sleepy, I'd simply turn off the lights and jump into my bed and doze off and wake up the next day to copy the answer from any one of my classmates.
Conclusion In a nutshell, I'm on my way on becoming a nerd which means I've to study everyday and that is the main reason why you don't see me online that often now. I hope that all of the above has helped you all to understand this sudden weird change of behavior of mine. Have a nice day.

I've come to realise that my senior Ajit told me something last year that turned up to be true. Secondary 3 life is stressful! On the brighter side, I've managed to settle down quicker than I had expected, way quicker in fact so I'm glad. It turned out that I knew like half the class before I even stepped in it so there were no anti-socialism on the first day, well at least for me.
Amazingly I wasn't late on the first day of school and maybe it's due to the anticipation of meeting your friends after not seeing them for so long. The first former classmate that I saw was Izhaq and I hit him on his back as I was too happy to see him again. Actually, I just like to do that to him. Went to my new classroom and wow! Everything was so neat and tidy! That is so unlike the condition that my class was in last year.
Put my bag down and went looking for more people to say hi to! See, I'm happy. That happiness of mine caused me to talk crap and laugh for the rest of the day which enabled me to enjoy my class better. My teachers aren't that bad either, actually they are some of the best I could ever have! I've managed to find new laughing monkeys other than myself, Ian, Edward, Timothy, Luqman, Chee Yang and Yaseen. Basically its everyone sitting at the back of the class. I will only keep quiet during Malay, Chemistry and English for some important reasons. I'm going undercover as a secret agent and my name is Mr Innocent.
Yes yes, what a great week it was and then there was CCA Recruitment Day which made it even better. I have absolutely no idea why so many people failed to turn up for their CCA. The whole canteen was packed with so many people and with the Secondary 1s, it was like a nightmarket of some sort. Everyone tried their best to persuade the juniors to join whatever CCA they are in. I remember that there was this one guy who came to my booth asking shelter from both the NCC land and sea people.
It turned out that they were using physical persuasion to expand their number of members. Well it's quite scary in a sense that if you came alone on that day and you're walking quietly in the canteen minding your own business and maybe you're heading to the drink stall to buy a packet of milo after the long talk by our principal regrading the new LEAPS system and then a group of guys surround you. First, you think it's weird that you're thirsty because you have been listening to Mrs Chan talk for around an hour or so and you think that she should be the one that's thirsty but its the other way round. Second, you feel so important because all of a sudden you're surrounded by people whom you don't even know at all and they don't even know you too but still they want you to join their CCA!
Okay Saturday was fun but Sunday wasn't. I woke up and I discovered that I was somehow freezing. I mean, really really frezzing. I used 2 blankets but still I was freezing. Temperature rose as high as 40.1 but now I'm okay. Hopefully I'd get better soon, I don't want the water level to rise just because an iceberg is melting.

Yay just came back from a family outing with my mother, oldest sister and brother. Where did we go? To Parkway Parade of course. I've been there so many times that I've this feeling that I should live there, or work there at least. If only it has a cinema, then the whole shopping center would be complete! With that, I think it would for sure be more crowded than it is now.
What did we do, hmm. Bought new school shoes for brother and myself. I was reluctant to buy at first, but my mother forced me anyway. Walked around the complex, and my mother bought for me ice-cream! Chocolate mint and cookies and cream, some of my favourites! Then we sent my sister to cut her hair, which her friends described as a broom. After that went to Popular to buy new stationaries that has been missing in my pencilcase since I don't know when. Went back to fetch my sister, but she was still in the process of washing her hair.
With plenty of time to spare, I decided to eat! Parkway is the home of my most favourite food, indian rojak! Well, its the best one I've ever tasted so far. I ordered so much that I didn't know if I could even finish it in the first place. It was mainly made up of fishcakes. Fish? Yes I love it! Ate until I was really bloated, but something weird happened. I was already full, but yet I continued eating what was left on the plate, cucumbers and onions.
I don't know if I was really hungry or greedy at that point, but the main thing is that I've finished everything! Okay, my sister met up with us and we proceeded to some watch stall. My brother finally got a brand new watch, well I did too. A nice silver carabena watch. Its not digital and that's what makes it so beautiful! Went home with a full stomach and now I really feel like sleeping. I'm going to try to behave as much as possible tomorrow. It's the first day of school, so I'm forced to make a good impression! =)

2006 is here! Yes yes yes I'm finally happy! Well, I had to miss the countdown for the first time in my life as I was way too tired so I slept. One thing for sure, I can never forget New Year's Eve! See how many exclamations I've used? That is just an example of how happy I'm right now! What did I do during 31st December? Hmm, I've managed to find a new way of eating cherries and I love it! I want more of it! =)
Other than that, I've managed to stay for 3minutes and 13 seconds for some job thingy. I think that would be the longest that I could ever stay on the job. Ate fish, walked in the rain, blew up a lighter and ate cherries in my new and special way. After all of that, I went home and slept to officially end my 'to not sleep for 33 hours' but I was 1 hour short. =(
1st day of 2006 and what did I do to kick start the year? Well, cut my hair of course, just like my friend asked me to. It has since 3 months since I've cut it, goodbye hair. But there's a twist. No one would ever want to cut their hair totally right? Right. So I decided to keep a portion of it as a sort of memorial to my longest hair ever. The way that I comb my hair, there's no chance that anyone would see it. Even if they do, I'd intend to bribe them in one way or another.
Only my closest friends will know as I trust them enough. Look at Justyn, he dyed his hair, he waxed his hair and he always get scolded for it! If my secret is found out, I'd seriously get into trouble. Ah what the heck, I'm used to it! Oh yes, as of today, my blog is 3 months old! Happy birthday blog! I haven't changed the skin one single bit! Maybe its the blue-ness of it or maybe the reminds me so much about love.
New year, new friends, new class, new teachers, new clothes, newater but there's still the old me! If I ever change, please give me a cherry or chocolate or better still, a chocolate coated cherry so that I'd cheer up. =)
