Holiday summary

So I've been spending my holidays really unproductively, while all my other classmates were busy preparing for the next phrase of our education, I'm here, wasting my time away by watching anime. I'm not that interested in anime though, but it's quite a good method to spend time instead of doing nothing and getting bored at home. Anyways, after searching for quite a lot animes online and watching them, I have deduced that I prefer RomCom (Romance Comedy) themed animes because like, they include funny bits in the supposedly serious love stuff, which could often spice up the anime by a lot.

If asked about my favourite anime, I would always answer "Kokoro Connect". It is amongst the first few animes I've watched, and I've really taken a liking to it as I realised that I've been comparing the animes I watch afterwards to this one. I really admire the Taichi, the male character in the anime as he is always ready for advice, and could give brilliant ones on the spot. As my best pals would know, I kinda like giving advice that would help others, I am kinda amazed by his ability. He is also very kind, putting others in front of himself. Although he admitted that he was doing it for a selfish cause (which they did not say), I still found him amazing as not everyone could put others in front of themselves. I wouldn't say that I could do the same, because after all, we're all humans. And, the group of friends in the anime seemed to have really good bonds, and I also envied that. It isn't everywhere that you get to find such good friends. The events that happened in the anime too, is not something that you would find everyday, so I felt that the plot was really good as it just brings me into the anime, thinking about what I would do in that kind of situation. So, it would be a good recommendation, as I feel.

Well, the new school year is going to start in about half a month, and although we're going to have our classes split in Secondary 3, I am kinda excited to study. After all, everything mostly depends on the end of year examination but still, I want to fight hard for the class I will be in 2 years later.

Ganbatte ne!!!

Lol or...?

I don't know about you people, but I have a friend who doesn't like the word "lol", saying that it is not nice. I've asked my friend "why" lots of times, but the reply wasn't actually constructive.

And guess what? I'm bored. That's why I did a little bit of research on why people dislike the word "lol".

Out of all the websites I looked through, menga.net has the most "interesting" article which practically pisses people off. menga.net states that the usage of "lol" makes you seem awfully stupid and retarded. He/she went on to state that "Every single person I've ever met in real life that has usedLOL in internet chat prior cannot communicate properly. They stumble over their own words and can't form coherent sentences". Well I've used "lol" lots, and I can communicate perfectly. 

The website went on to state that "Intelligent users hate LOL so much that they actually make fun of the idiots who use it by speaking in what's called "a dramatic reading".

It is genius.

Example:

Retarded LOL user: did u see tha nu movee lst nyt?

Dramatic Reader: Why yes, sir, I most certainly did! Jolly good show it was! Say, dear chum, would you terribly mind not speaking in such poor unintelligible English?

Retarded LOL user: lol

Dramatic Reader: Sir, if your intelligence would allow, please refrain from that ghastly language. It makes you appear to be an imbecile of biblical proportions!

Retarded LOL user: [user has logged out]

The LOL user literally has no idea what you're saying, gets confused and usually logs out and/or blocks you." The usage of "lol" does not determine one's IQ, and the writer's deliberate spelling mistakes in the first line of the conversation just implies that he/she is a trying a bit too hard to express the "retarded-ness'' of the "lol-user". Furthermore, the use of dramatic language by the "Dramatic Reader" makes him/her seem more retarded due to the overuse of drama in his/her language. One last thing, not all "lol-users'' are as retarded as you think, logging off whenever someone uses language of a bit higher standard. Please.

"As a testament to how bad LOL is, I've literally dropped that "word" on people even though they know I don't use it - and they actually believe I'm laughing." The thing is, you stated that "lol-users" are retarded. But you, after stating your argument above, says that you use "lol" yourself. Very funny.

quora.com stated that the usage of "lol" makes conversations seem fake, which I kinda agree. There was a meme which stated that 99% of the time people type "lol" without even blinking their eyes. No facial expression at all. 

Whatever. The saying goes," When in Rome, do as Romans do." In the modern world, just follow along! 

Reading is good

Well...I was really bored, so I decided to embark on a reading journey on the book I talked about on my previous post. 《那些回不去的少年时光》

So, to start off, it's about a girl's life. About how she turned from the quiet, depressing self into a confident, cheerful and mature girl. It is written in past tense because it reflects on the writer looking back at her old self. The insertion of third person extracts at the front and the end of the book, apart from the first person writing style, also gives the book a better touch as it somewhat shows how mature the girl has become and also more vividly describes the starting and the ending. Following the fact that her divorced mother took her away from her grandfather who loved her, she started being very quiet and often got into trouble in school and with her parents. As a result, her parents never dared to confront her directly to talk about these as they knew sthat he had the ability to totally rebel against them. She did not like her parents, and liked to hang out with friends she made out there in society, who owned a game arcade together, and she is a frequent customer, noticed for bringing a book with her into the arcade everytime. She got very close with XiaoPo, one of her friends in society.
Everything worsened after her grandfather's death, where she rebelled even more. However, the rebellious part in her only got awakened when a teacher in her primary school accused her of stealing her classmate's pen, and thus, she retaliated and became even more rebellious, leading to a standoff with her English teacher in secondary one. Being asked to stand on the ping pong tables outside of class during English lessons, she learnt to cover up her feelings with a bright smile on her face, as deep down, she was really embarrassed then. But, this led to her missing lots of English lessons and thus, not being able to pull up her english grades when she started to work hard in Secondary three. Topping the school, she advanced to Junior College, where she finally got the boy who she had been crushing on since Secondary school. The boy was her Primary school classmate, and had also been crushing on her, since the incident where she was accused of theft of the pen as it was him who had taken the pen. Feeling remorseful for his actions that got her into trouble, he has been finding ways to  repay her, but when he started to get jealous of her hanging out with other boys, he realised that he had started to develop feelings for her.

It all started on a school trip to Beijing and Tsingdao in China, where he used the excuse of being drunk to confess to her. "I would love to visit Tsingdao with you on our honeymoon" was hethat  said, and at that point, only both of them knew what he meant. Meaning to surprise him during their honeymoon, the girl folded paper stars with slips of paper with words written on them and gave it to him as his birthday present. She never told him, and with the friction created between them, the boy suggested a breakup in a letter, not before kissing her. He mentioned that girls always remember their first kiss, and he wanted her to remember him as he couldn't forget her. After on, she carried on with her studies and excelled as the top student from her school, eventually going to QingHua University.

The mixture of emotions in the book makes it a must read, especially for students like me, as it relates closely to our lives. It also depicts a clear picture of how we should love someone, by showing the flaws of the love given in the book between the boy and the girl. The ending part is extremely touching, as the boy finally found out the secret in the paper stars through the girl's friend, after eleven years. The words written on the stars were very touching, and that adds to the tone of sadness at the ending part of the book. Most of the mysteries in the book were all revealed at the end, where there was the 3-part third person recount of how the girl, the boy and XiaoPo felt at the different incidents. Read it!!!!!

Byebye EOYs

2 days after EOYs, and I'm bored to death. Without the need to study, it's just boring.

Playing games on my computer, I-pad, phone, and reading Chinese books basically summarises what I've been doing. Oh wait, include "lazing around with music blasting".

I'm normally at home alone so.....................

It's only been 2 days and I'm already this bored. What about the holidays?

Someone suggest to me what I should do!!!

By the way, the name of the Chinese book I've been reading is 《那些回不去的少年时光》 it's really nice

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I got A2 for infocomm ;)

Dem EOYs

Well...End Of Year papers are approaching, and with 17 more days to go, guess what I'm doing. Mugging, obviously! I've learnt from my previous test grades and is currently working vvvvv hard for EOYs. According to some of my friends, they haven't even started mugging yet, but I think they're lying. 70% yo!!!


Well I've done the topics of Water and Deforestation for Geography while waiting for the topic of Energy to be taught, and I've did Measurements, Density and Separation Techniques for Science, with at least 5 more topic remaining.

Happy mugging, and may the mugs be ever in your favour. Mugs are nice ;) 

Busy holidays

Pshhh although it's the September school break, I'm still busy.

On Monday, Wedesday and Friday, I was preparing notes for my geog, which I had failed by half a mark in term 3 and now I'm working hard for it. I've memorised the chapter of Tropical rainforests, and is gonna do Water today.

Then on tues and thurs I went for CIP. Yes, CIP. I was badly in need for hours, and it was rumoured that if you don't have 10 hours you will not be promoted to secondary 2... So I had to do it. I went with my friend Eliz, and tried door-to-door collections, which pretty paid off. I even got a free drink on the first day *Smirks* !

Good morning/afternoon, we are from Hwa Chong Institution. Would you like to donate to raise funds for SPCA's new building?

Not that much of a surprise...

Well...we had homecoming today and guess what? It wasn't at all, fun. It's just retarded, in that sense, with all the poor planning and shit. We had to gather in the hall for some stupid talk about the "new stuff" being included in the school, but who even cares about that shit? It's not like we're going to be able to use those...

And then after the talk there was one round of captains ball. Yes. You heard me. One pathetic round. I mean like, if they're gonna have one round only, they might as well not even do any shit and let us do our own stuff...

Worse of all, the students were still having lessons, which means that we can only stay in the canteen, courtyard and hall. I mean like, what the heck are they up to, just letting us stay there and bore us to death??? We weren't even let out to the parade square, let alone sit in it. I mean like, as if you will die if we sit on the parade square -.-'''

I aint gonna go back next year, after this experience, which I find retarded. The planning was really poor. I really had no idea how the other people even enjoyed it.No Idea. It just sucks. One word" Suck".

And yes, I'm a hater. >:(

Skypeeeeeee

Hey hey hey! It's the exam period now...busy mugging math and science as mugging as essential, and i am already better off than term 2, where I went to take the exam without even revising for them, and apparently I did badly then, with a C5 and B4 for my science and math respectively...But I am sure I will do well for my exam now :P

Recently been sleeping late to mug, I slept at 2am on Tuesday as I needed to mug for science and now, 12.30am, Thursday, I am still staying up to mug. However, I was able to Skype with my bestie Zanna and revise together, as peer-revision works better. For me at least. It's the third time we're skyping and it's vvvvv fun! Today she was reading a book outloud, but I was mugging so didn't quite pay attention XD

Sighzzz I wanna sleep...my parents are already sleeping...Anyways JIAYOUS guys for Math tomorrow!!!

PEOPLE! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE HOME-COMING DAY BACK TO OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL ON 3RD SEPTEMBER, THURDAY! I MISS THE CLASSROOM, CANTEEN FOOD, AND LIKE EVERYTHING SO i'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THAT!!! I REALLY CAN'T WAIT!

Hi kids!! Apparently I was Pretty busy with my writing challenge blog, but I am still trying to manage two blogs. Good luck??:)


Went for a Movie with my bestie Zanna on Monday. Terminator Genesis was a pretty nice movie :) As usual, Zanna was late. Waited for 20 minutes even after me getting my mentos. But i guess being late's part of her life so yeah... And then we went to Causeway Point to get the tickets. I chose the seats again because I am so good at seat-choosing. PhD material XD! And then we went to the library where I found a good book and read it while Zanna caught up with her math homework... All because we had three hours to spare.


Then we had Swensens for lunch, where they gived away FREE ICE-CREAM!! WITH WHIPPED CREAM!!! AND BANANAS!!! It was half an hour before the movie started, and I thought that I wanted to go downstairs getting more stuff to smuggle into the cinema, but I couldn't find anything to buy :( Rushed though ice cream for nothing muhehehehe


Waiting outside the cinema for the number 5 light to turn on... stupidly waited 10 mins past the movie timing and later found out that the light was spoilt. Just wow. Yes yes laugh at our stupidness bahahahaahahah

Anyways it was really fun and it was the second time we're going for a movie together. Well, we promised each other to write compos together on the spot someday... I am really looking forward to it :)

Even went back to the toys department in Metro. Felt like real kids again. >:)


Dedicated to Zanna :) My bestie

I've made a new blog about all my writing adventures as i really dont know why, i like to write compositions now, so...go check it out!

Short Story 1

“Friends work with you to achieve impossible dreams.”

I read that verse from a book, and has found it really applicable to daily life, especially in the process of growing up and making friends. There will be many people who you will meet in your life, some good and some bad. With those good people, you become friends with them, going through thick and thin together. With those bad ones, you leave them behind as you continue on, walking forward in life.

Even best friends tend to have arguments at times, no one is perfectly argument-free. Some will break away, slowly fading into the dark. Some will continue on, fighting by your side, believing that there is still hope that we could make it out of this mess. Those that fought hard times with you, are your true friends, those that are there when you need them, those that never betray you, and those that are willing to share your pain with them.

However, these true friends of yours, will also tend to slowly fade away as life picks up its pace, and it would leave you with tiny pockets of time, to be spent with your friends. And, when you grow older, as white hair starts popping out of your head, do you still remember who your friends are? Most likely not. So, we must treasure the time spent with our friends, knowing that years later, they might not be there for you anymore.

Although time is slowly slipping away from your grasp, second by second, and friends will also become strangers, but most importantly, secure the memories.

Compo 1

“Ring!” Almost instantaneously, only the sounds of pens clicking and writing could be heard. It was the Mathematics End Of Year examination. I answered question by question, breezing through the paper as I felt that it was relatively easy.

After finishing the paper and checking through it multiple times for careless mistakes that would cost me marks, I took a few glances around me, only to see that everyone else was hard at work with the math paper. “Is the paper really that hard?” I wondered to myself when a suspicious action caught my eye. “Wait a second, what is he doing? Out of everybody, him?”

I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look. My eyes were not playing tricks on me. It was really him. But why? I am sure my best friend has the right mind not to cheat in exams, especially such an exam like this? I knew I had to do the right thing by telling the invigilator. Just as I was getting ready to put up my hand, a thought flashed past my mind and I put down my hand, realising the gravity of the situation. What if I lose my best friend? What if he is going to hate me? What if…

Suddenly, a thousand and one “What if’s” flooded my mind. If I tell the teacher, he will get penalised for this exam and then hate me for betraying him. But if I don’t, he will never learn from his mistake. But I will lose my very best friend whom I have been sticking to during the past 5 years. These 19 words have been stuck in my mind, causing me to lose all the courage I have mustered to raise my hand.

I took another glance at him, secretly telling myself that if he stops his cheating methods, I will close one eye and let him off. However, he could still be seen peeking at the notes which he has hid very secretly under his table. Should I or should I not…

Finally, after many rounds of repeated thought, I felt that it was a need to do so. And so, I took a deep breath, and raised my hand…

Truly, after this incident, he is ignoring me and walking away whenever he sees me. Although it really hurts me to see him doing this to me, I felt that I had done the right thing as I had shown integrity. I also hoped that my best friend will learn his lesson and stop using cheating methods to score well in tests.
