Anyway, I was thinking. I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SHUT UP. Okay not meaning I can't keep secrets la, cause I can. What I meant was I need to stop being so inquisitive. It's like, my innate nature and grah some people don't like it. D:
Okay that's the short rant for today. Questions are good for life!
Literature rehearsal again later. FIFA09 here comes David.

Ninja Melk!
Never got around to posting this but for the publicity of Nigahiga, I will.

And Slamball. How cool can a sport get? Rugby, basketball, gymnastics and football all combined in a court the size of a basketball court.
Go to Youtube, there's a WHOLE CHANNEL for Slamball.
And I know this is totally uncalled for considering the situation, but I really want to catch a couple of movies! There's Fame, and there's Cloudy with a Chance Of Meatballs, and then there's Surrogates. But I guess nobody is free right now, because of the stupid thing we have called... how do you spell it? E-x-a-m-i-n-a-t-i-o-n-s.
But soon, soon. Another month, definitely :D

You don't even believe that my thigh is injured, so how am I supposed to even ask you to let me see a doctor? I didn't tell you yesterday, or today morning, because I didn't think it was that bad. Maybe just a slight pull. But apparently I've never felt anything like that before.

"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6 : 25-34
God bless. (:

Friday's finally here!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDDIE GOH.
You know all of us miss you right? Enjoy life in Japan man, I'd love to go there sometime. It really is tough luck we can't celebrate your birthday with you on the day itself, but at least we had a small one before you went back, and I hope that's enough.
Thanks for being such a great guy in my life. I really don't have to look far before finding someone who can make me laugh without fail. All those Left 4 Dead times. It's quite true life's been pretty kinda bland since you went back, so yeah COME BACK SOON DUDE. Also really good to know there's someone I can count on to just talk to when I'm angry or depressed or anything.
You take care okay, dude? God bless you, may you continue to grow in Him as a person after His heart. Cheers, mate.
It'll be nice to see you back in Singapore when you do come back. Camp, yo!
And then he's coming to confront me so I push him away, which apparently "caused" him to throw a chair onto the ground. So I keep on telling him to pick it up, and he won't, so I don't let him out of the room. So he decides to call my mom. And she tells me to just go and shower and that it's really my fault. She didn't even scold my brother for taking more than half an hour in the bathroom doing God-knows-what.
Then I just walk away and shower.
And on the way to school, I had to MOST RETARDED sms conversation with my dad. You should totally ask me to see it, I've got it logged down chronologically already. Not a single message was left out.
But it started like that -- "I just think you are freaking biased and you seriously don't know who is wrong and who is right now. Forget it." Which was exactly how I felt at the time.
So, my mom forwards this to my dad and that's when the funny part started. HAHA.
And then when I come home my brother's lying to my mom about how I "slammed the bathroom door after going in". I forced it shut because the door handle was stiff, you doofus.
And yeah he goes on being emo and screaming and laughing like a maniacal retard. Oh wait, he is one!
Lol. Today was seriously funny. But on afterthought I realise my mom made a smart move in not riling up my brother even further this morning. Kudos to her.

Long John Silver's breakfasts rock luh. I think I'm getting addicted haha. And I couldn't find the stupid A Closer Look at Life DMP module venue, cause it wasn't at 4T -.- So yeah. I gave up and went to eat.
Chem O Selection Test went pretty well, apart from the fact that I guessed maybe 15 or so of the answers. Oh well, what you expect! So little time to study two years worth of A level Chem, what a challenge. o-o
Nothing to do now so I think I'll do some homework/practice/whatever.
---
Thank God for helping me keep calm and thinking straight this morning, such that it didn't blow up into a huge problem for me. (:
You, I wanna talk. Heh.
Sunday, September 13, 2009
Justin and Clarice are just major hilarious. Go for camp kay, Justin!
And for the record, she and I are NOT TOGETHER, people. So yeah. Just making that clear. If you're not sure who "she" is, please do ask me over msn. (:
Bye! Off to finish Lit Term Paper grah.
Friday, September 11, 2009
Thank you everyone who prayed for me/wished me good luck! It was really really appreciated. People include.. Ee Wei, Livia, Benji, Alicia, Amanda, Andrea, Andrew, Anisha, Ashley, Bertrand, Bertrand, Charlene, Charmaine, Charlotte, Cheng Yi, Cheryl Lau, Chin Wei, Clarice, Clifton, Colleen, Darrell, Dinah, Dorothy, Eddie, Edward, Elisa, Felicia, Flora, Gloria, Grace, Jazlyn, Joelle, Suwe, Justin, Kai Juan, Kai Lin, Ken, Kyle, Liang Jie, Liang Zhi, Marcus, Myra, Rachel Koh, Rachel Ong, Rochelle, Russell, Sam Wong, Shabbna, Shakila, Steph Lee, Steph Tang, Vic, Wen Zheng, Yi Ying, Ying, Zara, Zhi Ting, and yeah, Zydney.
YOU GUYS ROCK. And I'm sorry if your name isn't up there, it really is hard to remember everyone =\ I know it's in alphabetical order, I jogged my memory by reading through my contact list. Heh.
Anyway, the examiner was a really nice guy! I felt just a bit nervous but praise God, I didn't let it snowball into a disaster, but instead sat there, slipped a couple of times but let them pass. And slowly I just became more and more composed, and I'm thankful God took my nervousness and anxiety away. Oh well, I did stumble on a couple of scales, and I honestly tripped over C Major arpeggio. I didn't even manage to play D major dominant, but thanks to God's grace and the examiner's niceness, he asked for a dominant scale that I knew how to play and I didn't disappoint.
The three pieces went better than expected. I think the examiner loved my Nocturne in F Minor! He sounded pretty... good about it. Maybe it's because he's a singer, so his musicality is especially strong. And although I did have a few stumbles for the Scarlatti Sonata and the Mozart Sonata, it all ended quite well. (: I'm happy for that, and thank God for His hand in all this.
Sight reading went quite well too, although I paused here and there thanks to the accidentals, and I played pretty slowly as compared to the supposed speed "Allegro". And I didn't get the first chord for cadences and totally failed at describing the musical piece and getting a composer for the Romantic Period. I said Schubert, can you believe that!? Grah.
But in the end, I'm happy. And all I can do know is have faith in God and cross my fingers for a good result. Maybe a distinction! Who knows (:
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. AND THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GOD. I less than three you guys! (:
I <3 GOD OMG.
A verse Flora sent me -- "Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the Lord" Psalms 31:24
And so He did. So He did.

I think my soccer's improving too (: At least my distribution and my vision weren't too bad during the match after rehearsal today. ;D I like.
Oh, and my shots are getting more powerful! And I did an Arshavin, which crashed against the crossbar and which Zi Xuan didn't see. =\ But for some reason my goal kicks are soooo fail.
Ahhhh well. Interclass is cancelled, apparently. Tough luck guys.

Off to Chia's bday party! I'm outta here. (:

And then yes, cutting paper. With seriously a lot of noise o.O Pretty hard to work but oh well. For some reason Andrea's sole totally came off her shoe so after doing pretty much more than most people there, we ran off to get a new pair. And then we went back. At which point they had already cleaned up and were going off for lunch already.
Oh well, haha. Serene Center Macdonalds, with really noisy people. But it was great fun. And although Ee Wei kinda failed really badly at doing Chinese while people convert every symbol into algebra behind your back. I mean, who can do Chinese like that? Wait, who CAN do Chinese?
SORRY. I admit, I secretly prefer to do Chinese over playing Dota. (:
And then went home!
Piano exam tomorrow, oh gosh I'm worried I'll have a nervous breakdown like the trial last year. STAY POSITIVE DAVID. A lot of people've wished you good luck already, don't waste their luck ;D Thanks Ben and Ee Wei and Livia and whoever's wished me good luck. I'll try my best not to freeze up. PRAY FOR ME PLEASE, EVERYONE.
And that's all folks. Tomorrow's gonna be pretty fun too, piano exam then lit rehearsal in school then party at night! (: Ciao.
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
It's been really great having you as a friend who I can lean on and count on for encouragement and support, and I'm sure many others have been blessed by your presence too. I know we've had our differences here and there but I'm glad it hasn't done anything to weaken our friendship.
I hope you do something really fun for your birthday! Staying at home the whole day doing what you usually do is, to say the least, pretty saddening. At least I'd feel bad if it happened to me, heh. So go out, have fun, you deserve it. (:
And yeah, continue to grow in the Lord and shine in His eyes as a blessing to the people around you with your personality and your deeds.
Cheers, Cheng Yi. Have a fabulous fourteenth. ;D

Was nearly 2.15 when I reached the cinema, the thing was supposed to start at 2, I was supposed to meet her at 1.30. Epic failure on punctuality much, I know.
GI Joe is awesome. And I realize that GV cinemas sound level is so much higher than Cathay, and that's not necessarily a good thing. Heh. But how cool are nanomites! They aren't even a real WORD. I think Snake Eyes is a bit.. freaky o-o but Channing Tatums is cool to the max. And Andrea was scared of the parts where the guys infected by the nanomites dissolve into nothing. Heh. And of the part where the guy's face turns into metal. I wonder what her reaction will be when she watches something like Final Destination. HAH.
And then we were going to City Hall to do some clothes shopping for Saturday and guess what, we see Zhi Ting, Kai and Jen going to Raffles City. Kinda awkward, heh. Especially when Kai's only reaction was to point at us in turn and sort of gape and smile. Never seen her do that before y'know.
//EDIT//
Apparently, Kai just did this. O.O and haha, she kinda sorta waggled her eyebrows at us. In that suggestive you know how manner. According to the two of them. ;D
And clothes shopping was pretty fail, because there wasn't anything nice, and also because I suck at shopping. ;D
Oh well, Uniqlo, here we come.
---
I know it'll get better. But it'll take truckloads of effort and a heck of a lot of time. But I'll try to be patient and with God's help, I'll be through it in no time. At least, to Him. It might seem like an eternity but the goal is there.
And I'm going to start right now.
Sunday, September 6, 2009
You don't know how much it means to me, your just being there and bothering to listen to my crap.
I really hope I can change, and soon. Because if I don't start changing, my mom will never change and it'll just keep going on and on in a horrible cycle. Thanks for opening my eyes, God. Now, pray help me keep my faith up and keep my will strong.
Amen.
Anyway.
I'm going to dinner. I sit down to dinner and my parents ask me when my mock exam is, what plans I have this week and say that I had better practice more piano this week. Note the words "had better". Then, when I tell them that I have plans for Monday (Literature rehearsal) and Thursday (Project Paper Chain), they look at me with this incredulous look that says, "What the hell are you doing planning things during this holiday when you know you have your piano exam?" And when I explain to them what the rehearsal is for -- the comedy presentation -- they say, oh okay. Two minutes later, they ask me, "What's the rehearsal for?" Like, why aren't you paying attention! So I asked them why didn't they pay attention and I showed some irritation, because if a parent respected his child, they would have listened properly. So I tell them again.
Then immediately after that, they ask me what PPC is about. So I tell them, it's a CIP. Organised by who? By my friends from HCI and NYGH. Organised by who? By my friends from HCI and NYGH. Irritated much already. And then they ask me AGAIN. Third time lucky, I sort of lose it. Why in the world do you have to ask me so many times? Why can't you just listen once and understand, and then make it sound like it's my fault? So my mom says she ask repeatedly because she doesn't understand. Then SAY SO LA. Repeating the question is only going to get me to repeat the answer and both of us get pissed! Idiots. If you don't understand the bloody explanation then clarify, not repeat the question!
And for some reason, they take offense at that. Because apparently, it's my job to show the respect they "deserve" and answer their questions continuously and repeatedly, even though I've said the clear answer already. And also apparently it's not their job to show that they care about what their son is saying by paying attention and understanding what he says! What the shit, please.
So I'm irritated, all three of us are, and so I get up to put my plate in the sink. My soup is still unfinished and I was going to finish it, when my lovely mother (note the never-ending sarcasm) just had to butt in and say, "You BETTER finish the soup or ELSE." Again, what the SHIT. So I'm so frustrated I jump about on the spot, yes in frustration. And I get scolded for it! "Why you jump just now?" in that screwed up demanding tone of theirs. Hello, you told me when I'm irritated, frustrated, getting angry, to do some physical exercise! And because there's nothing ELSE to do, I jump on the spot. "But jumping as a reaction to anger and jumping as a solution is different!" WHY THE HELL WOULD I JUMP. BECAUSE I WANT TO GET RID OF MY ANGER RIGHT. So I jump to get rid of my anger as a reaction to my anger! What the CRAP are you talking about. It's as though whatever I do I can't please you.
Then I sit back down and start to drink my soup. My injured arm with the abrasion is on the table and my mom points at it and shoots this question at me. Shoots, not asks. "Why is your arm like that?" Taking into consideration the situation at that time, I assume she's irritated at the posture at which my arm is lying on the table. So I point out to her that her arm is in the same posture. And she doesn't clarify, just continues staring at me until my dad has to tell me that she's talking about my abrasion.
What kind of parent raises his/her voice at their child to ask about an INJURY. That makes me feel so secure, you know, knowing that I have two parents who will just about get angry at anything and everything under the world, even when asking about an injury to their son. And you think I'm wrong to go to my friends when I'm angry, when I'm sad. No, I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong because my friends actually make me feel like I'm a normal kid, that I'm worth something.
And this morning, before leaving for church, my mom gives me 15 bucks. I'm wondering, why give me 15 bucks? Usually you only give me 8 or 10. So when I ask her to clarify, "Why did you give me so much money? I'm eating dinner at home." She tells me that she gave me wrongly and took the extra back. And then now, cause she's angry, after walking out of the kitchen she storms back and says in this really righteous voice, "I KNOW WHY YOU'RE IRRITATED. It's because I didn't let you stay out for dinner right? Next time I won't buy nice stuff for you, just get you assorted vegetables rice!" I'm like, what the heck are you talking about! I didn't ask to stay out for dinner; I TOLD YOU that I was COMING HOME for dinner. And because you know you're in the wrong, you just say never mind and walk away.
When you tell me to go to hell and then I say okay maybe I should kill myself, then I'll go to hell. You just say go ahead? WHAT THE HECK.
Then after that you ask me why I talk to you like that and I try to explain myself! I try to tell you what I felt, but after a few times of you just shooting me down and awhile of going around the same exact point, it dawns on me that you don't care, and you don't want to listen to what I say because you think I'm totally in the wrong. So I give up.
And SOMEHOW it just snowballs until I'm screaming at you, you're screaming at me, I'm using the F-word on you because you used it on me, I'm telling you to go to hell because you told me to. You're hitting me and I'm trying to defend myself, you take my handphone away from me, you're screaming and you're crying.
I'm telling you that you fail as a mother, not physically and not mentally, but emotionally. You haven't done anything for my emotional growth; I've had to rely on my friends to pick me up when I fail. I've never told you a single secret that I have. Why so? I never talk to you about girls, about money, about computer games. Because you don't care. You only worry about my safety and my school and my attitude. But if you really did care you'd bother about how I'm growing emotionally, and not how I'm destroying YOU emotionally.
And then the neighbors call the police, and they try to talk to me. And they totally fail, because all their suggestions have been tried before. They've all failed.
I don't know what to do anymore. My dad says I have to find a foster parent. I want to, I really do. But deep down I know that'll change my life forever.
Cheng Yi. I want to talk to your parents. Please?
---
God. I won't type anything long. You've seen everything up there. You know what I'm lacking, You know what I need, You know what's wrong with me. HELP ME CHANGE IT PLEASE. Please. I don't know how long more I can take it, seriously. I don't know. Help me understand.
PLEASE.
---
Pray for me. I'm begging anyone and everyone out there. Pray for me please.
Anyway I shall emo a bit later on. First, today!
The Proposal is seriously a very good movie ;D Hilarious, yet thought-provoking. But honestly? It's a bit gross hehhh. Go watch!
Before that lunch with Flora Rachelk Cheng Yi and guess who... STEPH! Yeah I know right. Hadn't seen her since... TGIGF gosh. And that's extremely long ago. Anyway it was nice to catch up, even though it was only for lunch. Who wants to challenge me at eating candy floss yo.
This doesn't feel the same anymore :\
And that was my bit of randomness for today!
Now back to emo-ing about how wasteful this holiday's going to be. And I think I'll need an organiser for this --
Monday: Movie with Andrea
Tuesday: Nothing!
Wednesday: Piano mock exam
Thursday: Project Paper Chain
Friday: Piano exam, birthday party
Saturday: Concert at NYGH
Argh. Nothing there is with church people! Now you know what the randomness above was about.
Oh well.
They wanted me to post, I've posted. Not that it'll be a happy one.
---
Quick one on uNite! I hope you guys all had fun ;D Although the maze game I planned was utterly failed, because of overenthusiastic participants and lightsticks and flashlights, it's still quite fun. And yes, I did get screwed in the end, but it's not that bad, really.
It's good to know that there's such a fun-loving and caring community that I can count on whenever I need them. ;D
Especially the few who're always there.
---
God, help me stop lying please. It's like, the gazillionth time I've asked for this. Stop lying to myself. Stop lying to my friends. Stop lying to my family.
Thank you God.
Amen.
---
And yeah. Until something comes up, that's worth blogging about, this blog shall stone.
