Brother go, brother gone

Ah, so my brother set off for France today, for two years. Not sure whether he will come back anytime in between.

Honestly, all of us feel a little at loss. My parents, my sister, my cousin, me, and even my brother too. Being his brother all my life, it wasn't hard to detect the tinge of uncertainty in his air, in the words he speak, in his eyes. So now my sister has one good mathsciencewhatevertutor/reminder/brother/adviser/confidant wanting, I having my at-home PCM tutor missing, and my parents relieved of all the domestic disorderedness caused by my brother.

Btw room for rent!

My brother is from Toa Payoh
Now gone far away aiyoyo
Missed by family
To go and study
When he comes back we're gonna say 'yo'

Better come home once next year, I need your help for A levels and testimonials.
Well, thanks folks who still take the effort to click on my url from wherever. Will update on a more regular frequency, maybe some overdue posts coming up. Blogging is cathartic, so stay tuned!

POP Today

Ah, it was pop today. Met up with old buddies to do all kinds of stuff. (Land the helicopter onto the top of the shelter, playing facebook games with a laptop at parkway macs). Walked out of the long stretch of road once again, when the sky is already dark and our stomachs already growling.

Bumped into Sunny and Hongwei in parkway, and some other ex-schoolmates(I never failed to meet someone I know there), crashed macs till 10+pm. Returned home with a lil bit of nostalgia, just finished watching The Kite Runner. And intending to sleep now.

Goodnight.

Rachmaninov had big Hands

This is cool.

RANDOM POST

Hihihihi people a random post after being MIA for so long!


A scene in school today, while giving back maths test papers .......

Can come ask me if ya don't know what's DA, it's an inside joke XD

Teacher(DA): ehhh... Lau Yong Yi

Me: Yes Sir.

Teacher: So above average or below average?

Me: Er, below average ah.

Me: AHAHAHAHAHAHA


AND


I texted Katie and YiXin good luck for SYF, only after it's over. All schools got silver, how screwed is that.


Just another day of mine. ;)

Class OutingS

I swear that I am going no where near pizza hut for the next 6 months, at least.

After faithfully returning to primary school twice a year(cny eve and teachers' day) for four years, I have this feeling of visiting old patients with Alzheimer's, because most of the time they can no longer remember who we are, with sufficient details.

Seeing the familiar faces still there, alive and teaching, suffices.

For pictures go to facebook.

If you can understand

Instructions:

1. Read the passage carefully
2. Grade yourself with the grading system at the end of the passage after reading.
3. Not that difficult, chin chai do lah !

Section A: Orrler Exeminetion (60 marks)

Question: Singalella why become rich ?

Koo zhar wu chee ay char bor kia, Singalella.

She got two sisters, but the stepmarder and the sisters all damn kuai-lan, so she quite zhia-lat oso.

Last time Singalella got own maid, but now she become the amah.

Everyday must cook lah, clean lah, simi sai mah bao-kah-liao.

If her sister say liak kar zhuak, she liak.

Tak jit zho kah tau-hin.

CPF poon boh.

But then, kay piak eh ah-pek got one son call Ah Ming got party.

So he say, 'oeh, long chong lai ah.'

Singalella very happy because she never go party before but then her step-marder say, 'Lee Mana eh-sai kee, this one bahru lu eh sisters wu standard.'

Then Singalella must zho sui-sui for her sisters and step-marder.

Tap pai how, buay zhia, buay koon and buay pang-sai.

That night she only can wave bye bye and then she go back to the kitchen and cook Maggi mee.

Her neighbour came over and ask, 'Eh, an-zhua lu boh kee party?'

So Singaalella kong, 'I-wan, lau-bu kong buay-sai, so boh pian.'

She never expect but the neighbour say, 'Aiyah, kee lah, I give you money.'

So singalella brush teef and zhang-zhui, chen-kor, after that look very different.

She quickly run to opposite of the beh-chia-lor, already 11 o'clock.

At the party, Ah Ming also quite sian because the char bor all boh sui one.

Dance floor even got one ah pek dancing.

Just as Ah Ming told himself, 'Aiyah see-pay zhia-lat', Singalella came in.

Ah Ming straight away lau nuar.

'Wah-lau eh, see-pay heng ah, chee kor buay pai.'

Ah Ming say to Singalella, 'eh, sui eh, wah ai kah lee zho flen!'

Singalella say ok but Ah Ming like octopus, touch here touch there.

But then just it was 12 o'clock, one ah pek die on the dance floor.

He become ghost and tell Singalella all the good 4D number.

So after that Singalella quickly go and buy 4D, and then tiok tau-pio, zhit-pak ban.

Subtle blight

Post O level results periods are times of degeneration, sloth and idleness. With the facebook window in firefox never closed, and the others on someone else's blogs, whether I know the person or not, you can roughly guess what I do online these few days. When night arrives, my stomach is either growling with voracious hunger or bloated by flatulence. Fatigue usually doesn't set in until I get my reasonable serving of food and when the time is beyond 1am.

Catching up with old friends is fun. More so when they're pretty girls and you get their new numbers :p.

RJ's in a hurry. For those who don't know, they already started auditioning people for different ccas, even before o level students like me get in. Panic not, there'll be a second round of auditions for o level students. But I'm going for piano ensemble's one this Wednesday. Lol I don't even know whether I'll end up in that school or not. Everybody seem to prefer rj over hc.

Anyway, the rj piano ensemble seems harder to get into than the school itself. I wonder if I'm the only alien going for audition.

Friday, I am going back to ChungCheng first. Noon, I'm going back to PeiChun. Class outing, see first.

Midnight reflections

Sitting before the laptop with a whole new life awaiting me, with the mood of chalet still not checked out of my blood, with an ironically subtle hungry stomach which was just filled with Indian supper, with a crippling concentration of poignancy precipitating in my head and heart, and talking to friends that are almost long forgotten, I can't describe the emotion I am feeling now.

Okay the last clause sounds weird, boys aren't good at expressing their feelings, especially when they're left brainers, like me.

Some disclaimers, I totally didn't expect my results to be this way, although it's a really pleasant surprise, I got a freaking 13 points after moderation for prelims.(It was 16 before mod). Thank you all for the congratulations and stuff.

For those who did well, congratulations and I advise that you do not become complacent even to the slightest extent. 骄兵必败, the haughty soldier is sure to lose.
For those who didn't do as well, think that this exam doesn't decide your life for you. You still have the chunk of your life in your hands now, don't screw it up this time.

I'm stoning and thinking about people, and when I am going to see them again.

Very soon, I hope it will be.

Screw it

I didn't know that I could use ms words to type a blog post.
