I feel a huge burden off my back. I'll tell you why soon... Gosh, I haven't posted for over a week. I'll just talk about what I remember. Monday, Hari Raya... Went to Eunice's house cos her birthday on Sunday. Retarded things happened. We messed up her room, played wii, went to park, played table soccer and I OWN!

Tuesday, we had soccer for PE. Yong kiat was asked to get lost cos he was taking shots that, according to Mr Sun, was disturbing our PE lesson. He was actually disturbing in the first place actually. But he didn't care. He argued a bit and continued. Mr Sun didn't bother also. Later, we took penalties and Mr Sun asked Yong Kiat to be goalie. Retarded lar Mr Sun! He asked us to take penalties in a very stupid and unique way. I never believed that even little kids in Man Utd would do that. Talking about Man Utd, they rock! They beat Man City and Arsenal awesomely. That's why they're champs. Ben Foster, however, isn't. He's retarded.

Wednesday was Monday's timetable. I ponned training. Uh, nothing else I can remember.

Thursday, I screwed up my French test. I had lots of trouble with the vocab and the compo. Walau eh... Supposed to have 1 hour of lesson, in the end, he started late, had the test and ended crazy late.

Friday was the Physics water rocket presentation day. No comments... CCA rocked my world. We had CIP. CIP rocked even more. Seriously!! CIP was supposed to be like this: we go to some elderly folk's home and clean the house. Anyway, I grouped myself with Yu Jie, Brandon and Jun Hyeok. But Luke regrouped... I was with Regina, Chanel and Chelsea. WTH! This old lady didn't allow us to clean. She rocks. Later, Amelia (year 2) and Leon joined my group. And we played cards. AWESOME CIP............ (Jun Hyeok mopped the bathroom when he wasn't asked to:D)

Saturday, went to MO and electone. Lunch at Grandma's restaurant in United Square with Uncle Deepu. Today, we had Math test. Screwed... I couldn't do 2nd and last question. that's about 10 marks out of my 30 marks. Dead already... HS, we got back test papers. I got 19½ upon 25. Chang got 20½, Gerald and Hiu Fung got 12½ (lucky lor), Yan Hao and TR got same as me. I stole a lot of peeks at Chang's paper. But only the first page cos I really didn't revise. Turned out... he got 5½ for first page, I got 6. :) ZZZZZZZZZZ, I'm tired

Whee... Shucks, I don't know what to say and when to start. Nvm, I'll start from Tuesday. For PE, we're doing soccer and Mr Sun is probably the worst person to teach us soccer. Anyway, I felt so sleepy during PE that I decided to lie down on the field. Big mistake! I couldn't stop scratching my legs after that. Later, Chem and I was sleeping again for about 15 mins. Finally, French... I didn't sleep, fortunately. But I didn't bring my books. Teacher didn't find out. Heng ah! After that, captain's ball. We got owned by 101. I don't think anyone was to be blamed for the defeat except Gerald. He seemed like he was playing with small kids. Later, before we went home, I went to buy Sportade. Then, at the turnstile there.... I lazy to take out my card. So I asked Eunice to help me tap and unlock the turnstile. She tapped, I moved. Just before I could come out, the turnstile stopped. There was aboslutely no way I could get out. In simple words, trapped! Tried for a while, and I was released........

Wednesday, got the salad making. Jerome and I screwed it totally. We put sugar and threw stuff around. Then, I found a small rock on the floor. I put it in. Judges, I wish you all the best! Hope you didn't die... Retarded sald making!

Thursday, nothing much....


Friday was extremely... uh, eventful! First, Physics water rocket. Our group was among the best groups. The markings were only done up to 60m. But the max for our class was 55m and we were the first to make that record. Other people just levelled that record. Then, one of our attempts, the rocket flew diagonal and the distance was 55m. If it went straight, we would have been champs. Nvm, it ain't no competition. Later, English... Joshua is so screwed man! We were having oral test. Then, outside the class were Jerome (with Ms Chan), Joshua (waiting for his turn), Shao Wei (Ms Chan's assistant... He faciilitates the oral) and I (just got the passage to practise myself). Then, while I was reading my passage, Joshua was staring at me and laughing damn loud. According to Jerome, Ms Chan could hear me reading also. And apparently, it was an extremely weird and funny accent that Joshua couldn't stop laughing and Ms Chan and Jerome were distracted. Then, Ms Chan paused Jerome and came to speak to me.

Ms Chan: Julian, what's with the weird accent?
Me: What weird accent?
Ms Chan: Your weird accent
Me: I'm just reading normally but Joshua just finds it funny. It isn't my fault.
Ms Chan nags a bit and walks back.
Joshua: Julian, stop (something... I forgot what)
Ms Chan: Julian, turn your chair around

Walau eh, if Joshua kept laughing, it isn't my fault. Then, when Ms Chan talking to me also, Jerome was laughing. Later, when my time was up, Joshua continued laughing. WTH! I really wasn't doing anything and he go laugh. Walau eh!!! Luckily, Ms Chan didn't come.

Later, Jerome narrated this... Joshua's time was up

Shao Wei: Joshua, time's up
Joshua: Wait, it's only 3 min, 59 sec.
Shao Wei and Joshua argue a bit and then, Shao Wei snatches the paper from Joshua. Joshua and Shao Wei start arguing and snatching the paper from each other.



Today, I woke up later for MO but who cares? I arrived early. Then, I had nothing for like 17 hours except a slice of bread. The reason? We had high tea at Swissotel Merchant Court. The reason for that? My sis' birthday yesterday. Oh btw, Kevin's cast is out and his arm is damn hairy. It's damn funny. One arm hairy, the other isn't. And he injured one of his feet. I forgot which one. Pity him lar...

Saturday's Math Olympiad first... I woke up at 6am cos I forgot to change the alarm time. Anyway, I just turned off the alarm and went back to sleep. Next, I woke up at 8.15 cos Chang Joon sent me an SMS. After I replied, he replied. And then, I realised that I should have been on my way to Math Olympiad. Anyway, I arrived 30 mins late. Kevin, Yi Rong and Chang were staring at me. Anyway, got back the test. I got 33/50. Chang and Masaki got 34. WTF? Yep, that's about all.

Yesterday, I was damn damn pissed with some people. In the sense that, I seriously didn't feel like talking or seeing them ever again. I don't wanna talk about it. What's the opposite of elitist?

Today, Andy was being an idiot in the morning. We were smsing each other.

Andy: Eh julian, is there school today?
Me: No, today's a holiday
Andy: Seriously
Me: Obviously...

Then, he called me and explained his stupidity. Cos his bus arrived late... So he thought got no school. LOL! Gerald has a new Man Utd ball. Then, soccer was like very funny. I put "show, don't tell" into practice. Jason was heavily insulted when I shot the ball straight at the top post and into the net. Sorry, shortie. It wasn't the first time. I chipped the ball over him twice before. Poor guy...

Crap, I forgot to post about Saturday. In the evening, we had guests. Most of them had the worst children. Two girls in particular were really bad. Even Matthew and Joshua (my cousins) are much more well-behaved although they are younger. Those two are primary school people and they can't sit still. Devils lar! So all those kids came and destroyed the house. And we were actually spending a lot of time to tidy up the house. They took my father's and mother's phone. If I left my phone in my room, it would have gone too. Mine was in my pocket. And some genius managed to change the language in my mum's phone to Bahasa Indonesia. And while everyone was around, I suddenly realised that the surroundings felt really cold. I had a fever. Who gave me the fever? Those devils... My parents didn't believe me. Then, one of the aunts touched my neck and confirmed it. Ahh... Talking about aunts. At dinner, I went to sit alone at the study table (which we decided to turn into a dining table for one night) cos I didn't wanna spread germs. But, one by one, every single aunt there came to my table. Just as I was leaving, they realised... "Poor Julian, surrounded by aunties!"


Sunday, we went to somebody's place for lunch. It was the heaviest meal I ever had. I found it really hard to get up. When I finally got up, Vinod said, "Wow, Julian has grown six inches in six months!" What a time to say that! He could have said that I put on 15kg in 15 mins. But anyway, he gave me a book. He rocks!


Yesterday, I went to school for MO. Test was so-so. First part was easy, second part wasn't that easy.


Today, I had badminton training in the morning. Coach, apparently, didn't come. So few people also... Then, the table tennis jerks took two of our courts for their 6 tables. Walau eh! They didn't use more than two courts at one time lor! Anyway, we played a game - CounterStrike. It's damn fun. Need atleast 4 people to play (must be even number). Then, equal number of people on either sides. Then, play badminton lor! But if the shuttle hits the ground on your side, your whole team has to do 5 push-ups. If you touch before it lands, you do 3, your team will be saved, you will be called HERO. If the shuttle hits you, good luck! Do 50 push-ups and you are eliminated. Then, my team was Dillon - Year 3 (or Dillen), the year 2 guy and me. The other side was Timothy - 4, Leon - 2 and Aihann - 4. Year 1,2,3 vs Year 2,4,4. Who should win? Obviously the other side... But we won! The funny part started when Leon served to me and sarcastically said, "Julian, show me your imbah smash." He asked for it. I smashed, bounced off the net and landed the other side. Leon was stunned. Then, he said the same thing a few times. I just lobbed or dropped. When he stopped it, got this time... I smashed, bounced off the net again, hit Leon. Stunned him again... Sorry, dude. He had to do 50. Then, left with Aihann and Timothy. Another of my smash reached Aihann. Timothy left. He surrendered. Later, Leon damn funny. He asked Mr Sun to buy him a drink if he hit the tubes that were placed on the line. He missed all 10 attempts. Later, Mr Sun demonstrated and Leon served to Mr Sun. After serving all the shuttles in his hand, Leon purposely took more shuttles from the box and served. Then he asked, "Mr Sun, why you smashing so many times? Cheating ah?" Joker sia! Later, Leon go take Mr Sun's handphone and announced that it was his new one. Mr Sun couldn't find his phone. There was lots to laugh about today, all thanks to Leon. This post is ultra long!

100th post 7:15 PM

Yay... I've posted 99 times and this is my 100th! Whee! I've got a lot of random stuff to talk about. Ok, let's talk about india trip. That Uncle Johnny (not the NUS High Johnny... This Uncle Johnny is a good guy) is really a joker. We were talking about roti pratas in Singapore being bad and Jalan Kayu being one of the few places that have good roti pratas.
Julian: Uncle Johnny, you know Jalan Kayu?
Uncle Johnny: Of course, I know Jalan TAYU, BISHUN and all...
He knows two places... Both of which are wrong! And that Rhea another joker...
Uncle Johnny: Rhea must eat banana or else tomorrow morning...
Rhea: Kaka pain!
Then, once, we were eating at this restaurant in India. When we finished, we didn't need to wash hands at the basin. They gave us a bowl of water with a piece of lime inside. To clean our hands, we just needed to squeeze the lime. It was as good as soap. So cool, right?
Other random stuff... Litlle Joshua got an injury on his forehead when he crashed somewhere. Then, some time later, when it was time to remove his stitches, he went to the doc. At first, they planned to remove one stitch cos they thought it would hurt him. But after removing one stitch... Joshua said to the doc, "Doctor, you removed one stitch? It didn't pain. You can remove the other one also." Imagine a 3-year-old saying that...
Let's talk about the NUS High Joshua now... On Thursday, during English, we had to write a letter to a friend who had met with an accident, was in the hospital for two weeks and would be going to recuperate at home for another two weeks. Joshua asked Ms Chan, "Ms Chan, can we write that we learned in school that 90% of people who get involved in accidents will die?" LOL! Then, in English, I kept calling Ms Lim instead of Ms Chan. FAIL lar...
