..................ramblings (in grey)

I left school early yesterday. During P.E. I was kinda feeling breathless while we were doing 2.4km. Took very long to complete it. After P.E. had a splitting headache. But it wasn't bad enough to get up to my usual monkey business. Me, prakEsh, gaius, dicky and a few others did this silly thing, hanging towels over our face and then putting on our glasses. A very nice Hollow Man impersonation. Mrs Tan the maths teacher tried her best to ignore us, but 34 rowdy, stinky ( we just had P.E. ) boys cannot be overcome so easily. ;)

Yikes. I then got a blue form and took a Big Yellow(& black) Taxi home.

****************************

Today was a rather hectic day. During assembly the big bad grizzly bear CF came up to me. This is regarded as a bad omen, from where I come from. But luckily he just wanted me to hand up some form. *phew*
During Chinese lesson Heng came in with a black face and was complaining throughout the lesson about how we were lazy and did not take our work seriously. Then towards the end of the period Daryl said something, and he flew into a rage, raised his voice and stormed out of the class, not before slamming down his fist hard on the table and tossing his chair aside violently. -whoa- talk about PMS. that kinda set the tone for all the teachers throughout the day.

Tan Eng Hong was rather touchy, Mr Kwang came in with a dont-mess-with-me-or-i'll-bite-off-your-head-if-you-are-lucky-i-will-just-give-you-detention kinda look. As the lesson progressed, it transformed into the overwhelming Kwang 'lameness' all of us had come to know. His mood suddenly changed in half a period. amazing.

During recess, I went to take my Chinese Oral for MYE. Heng was still angry, and kinda complained to me about my class halfway during the bloody examination. That is so Him. After that I rushed downstairs to the canteen where I devoured a plate of rice in record time. Have you ever seen a Hyena feed? No? Go visit the SJI canteen. look for me.

We had an English lesson with Tracy Goh afterwards, her second with us. Some were led to proclaim it was our 2nd English lesson of our upper secondary life. Fam is that bad. Goh was just rattling away, and it took us quite a bit of skill and concentration to keep up with her. Her Ramblings( harhar, couldn't resist) were punctuated with a few decibel-deficient questions form Jiaming. The amazing thing is that the class was soooo quiet, I did not need to act as his amplifier. :D When she was done with her lesson, Fam came back in. She tried to get us in pairs to practise reading. Me and gaius got together and made silly inferences about the picture and changed the passage to some more... *tasteful and interesting*. :D

At 1.40pm sharp, I went to the annex to get a Bio test which was leftover from last week, done. There are some very interesting sights and sounds in the annex. Then I went back to class to do the NSW science comp. barely 20 minutes later. The quiz thingy was rather simple compared to previous years. I was tempted to put in a funny name, but decided not to. In the end I just filled up the remaining blanks with spaces. So when i get my cert back, my name will be at the extreme left. :D

After that, finally I was free! Went to get a little something to eat, then came home.

Man oh man, I am going to miss April.

Man, it keeps raining and raining and raining. I think there has been more rain this month than in December last year. =(

don't get me wrong. I love rainy days. Especially when you are holed up inside, and watch the rain from the safe side of your window. The april weather is really strange.

If you ever have a daughter, don't call her April. When it rains,

I bet
She'd get
real wet.

=)

ManU 4 Real Madrid 3
Real Madrid advance to Champions' League Semi-finals.

Well! I am happy that ManU won the defending Champions of Europe, even though they didnt advance to the semis. Sometimes you have to admit that your opponent is just better than you.

Ronaldo scored a Hat-trick for Real. Real Goalkeeper Iker Casillas scored an owngoal, after Ivan Helguera deflected a cross which went in off the keeper's legs. Ruud van Nistelrooy scored in the first half, and David beckham, who was left on the bench, scored twice after coming on.


C'mon you Reds! Now all that's left is the Premiership! I quote my friend " Dont screw up ar!"

Sialah. Parents under Home Quarantine. I can't go to school till Monday.

My parents MAY have come in contact on Aoril 16th with this guy who had SARS. the MOH[ministry of health] only received the order yesterday. Apparently the MOH decided to play extra safe.

Bush’s Foreign Policy ( Sung to the Tune of ‘If you’re Happy and you know it’ )

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me
'Cos it's all the proof I need
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
(And he tried to kill your dad),
Bomb Iraq.

If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

Had a rather interesting PE lesson today. During the 4-lap warmup I had Ben come up and slap me on the back( I caught up and smacked him back, of course :P ) and Salman come up to me and start to talk to me. ( Bloody hell, there I am struggling to keep up my pace, and he comes up leisurely to me and starts talking !!!!) After 3 whole years, he said that I look like his best friend in his primary school days. As he was talking I was like, 'pant, pant, pant' .... :D

After that Irwan gave us a pretty sadistic round of 'strengthening' exercises, mostly dealing with the abdominal area. Then we played Touch rugby! After a while my team was leading 5-0 , and i scored once. :D
After that everything just descended into anarchy. (read: chaos) People were forward-passing, kicking the ball, running around like headless geese, laughing, etc. I almost beheaded Noel and Gaius with a kick. :D

Damn. Got my shoes muddy. And I had just cleaned them 3 days ago. :(

Yes! For the first time since God knows when, I have actually completed all my homework 12 hours before the reopening of school! ACHIEVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started to sneeze quite a bit in the afternoon... if the symptoms keep up I might have to miss school tmr. Serious.
That would give me a reason to hand up the AMaths homework that is one moth due! before the march hols... Tan Eng Hong actually called me earlier on to chase me for that piece of Homework. I was debating whether or not to fake a sneeze and cough into the receiver, just to scare her ;)

Stopped playing Earth 2025 today. Wuz getting bored with it. I'm going to let oliver take all my land. Well, Most of it.

I don't want to go back to school!!!!

Newcastle Untied by Manchester United 6-2

Ha! Nice little headline there! I made it up myself. :)

What a wonderful display of red superiority! A hat-trick by Scholes and one goal each by Giggs, Solskjaer and van Nistelrooy!
They could even afford to bring on Laurent Blanc! He's old enough to be some of the players' father! And at the 80th minute, Keane started limping, and United had used up their 3 subs, so he just walked off the pitch!

sheer class

Watch out

Arsenal

I notice that some are complaining that I have not updated for a long time. *Glances at Ben*
Yes, I have not, because I have been caught up in Homework, and I have also been very depressed due to Man U losing to Real Madrid. Oh well, no shame losing to them. However, it is a shame to not win Basle. *Glances at all Liverpool fans* :D

As you may have noticed, I have added links to my friends' blogs and a few interesting sites. ;P

Go and visit them. Quite cool. ;)

War is a Necessary Evil. Agree?

Glory Glory Man United!!!

ManU 4 Liverpool 0

Wahaha! Awrite man, Manchester United beat Liverpool! By not One, not Two, not Three, But FOUR Goals!!! The Goals were 2 penalties by Ruud van Nistelrooy, one by Ryan Giggs ( His first goal at old trafford, the home ground of ManU, in 2 years!) and the last by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
This is great! And the better news is that Arsenal was held to a 1-1 Draw with Aston Villa. That means that Arsenal and ManU are now level on points! yippee! The crunch match will be when they meet at Old trafford in 2 week's time. The winner will most probably go on to win the title.

... Gotta go rub it in to Aston, Matt and all. ;)

Next Stop: Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid vs Manchester United. For a place in the Champions' League semi-finals. Just Bring It!

I took the Emode Inkblot test.
According to Emode:

gabriel, your unconscious mind is driven most by Peace

You are driven by a higher purpose than most people. You have a deeply-rooted desire to facilitate peacefulness in the world. Whether through subtle interactions with love ones, or through getting involved in social causes, it is important to you to influence the world.

You are driven by a desire to encourage others to think about the positive side of things instead of focusing on the negative. The reason your unconscious is consumed by this might stem from an innate fear of war and turmoil. Thus, to avoid that uncomfortable place for you, your unconscious seeks out the peace in your environment.

Usually, the thing that underlies this unconscious drive is a deep respect for humankind. You care about the future of the world, even beyond your own involvement in it. As a result, your personal integrity acts as a surrogate for your deeper drive toward peace and guides you in daily life towards decisions that are respectful toward yourself and others.

Though your unconscious mind is driven most strongly by Peace, there is much more to who you are at your core.


All this from some ink blots????
