Babysteps – Varsity (extract)

Help cause its an emergency.
Someone just wounded my heart.
So help, its like a bad surgery and now its time to recharge.
I’m starting over taking,
One, two, baby steps.
Three, four, baby steps.
Five, six, baby steps.
I’m starting over again.

the weekend glance

exams are coming! and it’s coming in just 4 days to be specific.

for this post, i’ve trashed the recent events into one short post (it’s considerably short already!) i made sure there’s less words and more photos.

the past few days have been crazy. i’ve been bogged with problems from everywhere. as such, when it’s time to relax: i’ve to full savour every second of it.

when people start acting weirdly, it’s a definite sign of stress

this picture pretty much explains everything

nevertheless, when you’re able to find things that would, supposedly, assist with your studying, make full use of them.

in our case, studying with phua chu kang did make studying fun :D

to fight stress, ‘we’ decided to play pool :D

5896_117677004795_609309795_2205050_4529256_n
we played till so late that we were fortunate to be able to catch the last bus home!

intentional sabotage:

richmond and i were doing an experiment with these feedback forms. it’s an experiment to see whether either of the 2 would tag my tagboard ;D

and there we went again – insulting jonald. this time, at pepper lunch

friends aside, leron was playing with my phone camera

he tried to take a photo of his “bear bear” with it. the first shot he took was this
5896_117676984795_609309795_2205046_657953_n
close, but not close enough (apparently, for baby leron)
he was screaming at me to reset the phone so that he could take another shot with it!

after trying a couple of times, he finally took this!
babies may seem small, but boy are they smart :D

last but not least, i can’t forget the birthday boy!
5896_117677234795_609309795_2205051_4454594_n
melvin’s birthday was last week! someone turned 17 (one step closer to adulthood, another step closer to a hazard on the roads).

happy belated birthday!


it’s been a hectic week. i’m already dreaming of holidays which are just 11 days away. so close yet so far!

until next time,

okay right. i kinda isolated myself today in my room (fine, the house). i didn’t go out with friends, neither did i contact much people. all for the name of figuring what the shit is happening within my life.

if only my “isolation chamber” (room) were like this:

it’ll be so awesome!

YES DINNER 2009
kbc finally decided to spend some money on a reunion dinner! well, it’s still quite budget, but it’s better than nothing haha.

there was tons of KFC chickens, pizzas from pizza hut and an “unlimited” supply of drinks. it was really nice to see people that i haven’t seen in a long while.

richmond doing his version of the moon walk

also, jerome bought a new DSLR that costed him a hefty 1.9k! since he brought it to the dinner, i simply HAD to play with it :D

and one of the things i realised i could do was to be a private investigator :D

5896_114369904795_609309795_2161998_378606_n
spying on jonald

one of the key points that a private investigators must know is to NEVER EVER GET CAUGHT
5896_114369929795_609309795_2162003_2587091_n
yep, he saw me; and i got caught hahaha

oh well

5896_114369964795_609309795_2162009_4818115_n
i couldn’t help myself to climb the damn thing

after the dinner…
5896_114369969795_609309795_2162010_3390627_n
off into the darkness and unknown we travelled once more

but we stuck around, playing with our laptops and jerome’s camera

sa national day celebrations 2009
for the fun of it, we went back to experience what it was like celebrating national day in our secondary school
5896_114376744795_609309795_2162110_5344971_n
i still remember those days when i was in their shoes

5896_114376749795_609309795_2162111_5356016_n
this is just scary

5896_114376814795_609309795_2162120_4653169_n
i like the way the fat guy in white marches. he has the “buai song” (not happy) way of marching

5896_114376819795_609309795_2162121_4247463_n
sjj and his bazooka

while visiting chinese class, i wrote this on the teacher’s whiteboard. i’m sure she was very happy with me when she saw this :D

5896_114376879795_609309795_2162133_3310424_n
once again, the school

5896_114376884795_609309795_2162134_6795431_n
and the school dustbin :D (the thing that goes through the most abuse everyday)

during the boxing match. OMG SO SCARY

5896_114377014795_609309795_2162158_5438538_n

that’s pretty much it for this post. before i end, i wanna thank those who’ve been hearing and listening out for me over the national day weekend. it hasn’t been easy for you as well as for me. but i still thank you for lending me your support =]

i know that i’m ready to fight whatever the world throws at it; well at least until the end of exams :D

till then!

you’re not leaving without me

haha this is ultra cute! found it while googling the post name


(full credits to the originator of this picture)

i’ve been wondering why i’m so stressed, confused and irritated these few days. i could blame it on the lack of sleep…or simply live in denial.

anyway, i’ll leave this post with lyrics of another song that best reflects my thoughts.

(ps – my obsession with nickelback hasn’t ended =])

if today was your last day – nickelback

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day’s a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?

Against the grain should be a way of life
What’s worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try
So live like you’re never living twice
Don’t take the free ride in your own life

now, go figure about why this post is like that :D

oh and, our school is celebrating national day! one of them is by hanging a gigantic national flag made of nothing but balloons, strings, sweat and effort!
