This is a one-off whining. Quick one. After chem today Kelly asked if I've started to feel the stress, thinking about it... no. I'm feeling even less stressed than in secondary 4, which is extremely un-normal. Guess cause then everyone was motivated and we were all just studying together. Came home today around 5pm and till now, I did one Differentiation question. Fucking fantastic. I cannot afford to hear another person / closet mugger complaining about not studying. I wish everyone else was working real hard and instead constantly telling me about how much they did, how much they've studied. Like how Sandra did. Which was great. I know it's kinda ironic that I'm saying this cause right now I'm complaining. But yes, I'm off. Motivation right now is so much lesser than what I had 2 weeks ago. Why?

Econs' finally over. No more arts subject. For CT2s, at least. This time I'm pretty glad cause I've spent most of the holidays on chem and phys and the other 2 are just plain screwed. People who like sciences more than arts are muggers. Yes I've joined in the ranks! Somehow econs wasn't extremely bad today. I did manage to keep my hand occupied 85% of the time. Best econs exam yet. I'm hoping I can finally emerge from the S-E border victorious. Chemistry tomorrow. Plan's to sleep soon and wake up study. Gotta squeeze some math in though. I'm quite proud of my chem organic mindmap. Everything in an A3, coolios. You guys are so jealous of me. But too bad H2ers would prolly need... a vanguard sheet. That's what Perle said her friend did.

Oh anyway just 2 weeks ago I realised that I'm excessively using "like" in speech. It's like impossible to like illustrate an example like clearly without using excessive "like"s. Seriously, and I've started to become conscious of the word. I'm not the only one. But then my speech gets awkward every time I realise I'm using too much of it cause I'm so afraid the person on the other end can sense it too. Need to change. The thesaurus doesn't provide any synonyms in this context. Boo thesaurus rhinoceros tyrannosaurus.

In addition (kcouped from Tzuhsiang):

Awesome 1. and Awesome 2 below:


Oh and last thing: just now I shaved off the bottom half of my sides in the bathroom. I did a subtle one 2 days ago but no one noticed. Which annoyed me a bit. So I needed to be a bit more extremist. Now the bottom half's almost bare. I've no idea why I did it. I guess the standard haircut's starting to feel boring. But I used my razor blade instead of a proper shaver though so it's a bit uneven. And shit I dunno why I'm staying up late to read blogs / surf the net. I care about my midyears. I wanna do well. But life's so many choices and I'm not great at decision making.

Cool. I hated short posts cause of my blog layout which makes short posts look incomplete, ugly and... empty. I think I can just "twit" using my titles now. Never run on an empty stomach. I woke up this morning disappointed with only white bread for breakfast so I decided to have prata after a jog. Short and relaxed jog but at the end of it when I stopped to rest I almost fainted. Damn scary, I didn't even dare to close my eyes cause I thought if I did, I'll not be able to open them again. Plus my stomach went all wobbly and I had to slowly sway towards the nearest coffee-shop to lao sai. I learnt my lesson. Last week I thought it was just my lost stamina when the same thing happened. Minus the lao sai part.

P.S. OMG why got so much hype over Eminem's new album. Pfft. HAHA

Sorry I just feel like giving up.

Today was GP day. I decided it wasn't a good day to do econs so I did GP instead. That amounted to more than 5 hours of computer on the subject "art". And I've only sketched enough points for an essay. But enjoyable though. The next time I'm going to play Fruit Ninja or Ovenbreak Infinity I'm going to tell myself to use the computer and read up on GP instead. First time studying GP, I hope it works. I've only read up on art, and done 1 out of 3 essay outlines I've wanted to do on art and I already spent my entire afternoon / night. Studying was interjected with a lot of random internet surfs and getting distracted at websites though. Woah who knew xinmsn had so much shit! We don't need TV anymore! Plus loading speed is excellent. No lags, no buffering. GREAT! Yeah just FYI I update my span of profile images on the "about" link [it's coded to be randomised] and now I've got a wishlist. And it's getting late so I'm going to sleep soon.

Yeah my brother came home today and in 3 hours we quarreled twice. Mum's not happy but being usual her she's on my brother's side. Just a little. I think she has recently been toning down very well on her bias. Like how I managed to change my temper for the better. I used to shout like, a lot when I was in primary school. Still persisted through lower secondary. My grandma reckons it a miracle cause she says these type of characteristic things are almost unchangeable. But anyway I'm annoyed. My brother just got official notification that he's down-PES-ed (long story) and it sucks. He's going to be a clerk and get to come home everyday and we'll quarrel and he'll piss me off. Otherwise, he'll sit in front of me while I'm studying and use the computer. Or he'll request for family meals outside (imagine that every night) and I'll have less time to study. And also I will no longer be able to wear any of his clothes. One of the reasons why we quarreled - he came home and saw his yellow jacket swept over his chair. I forgot to hide it in the cupboard. But fuck lah seriously, his presence at home is going to make me screw up my A levels. Yeah, all his fault.

Blogging on my iPod touch. Pretty awesome, think I'm going to do this for the rest of the week whenever I have an urge to blog. it's so unfun like this I could probably just stop blogging for good.No computer till after CTs, except on the iPod touch. Sounds like a plan. Anywy I'm banning computer for a week cause yesternight I surfed and only slept at 5am cause of stupid distractions and today I dunno what took over me I played games on my iPod touch from like 2pm to 5pm. Fruit Ninja's addictive in a way that you feel very unfair everytime you didn't mean to slash the bomb but your touchscreen sensed it. I think the annonying orange should do an episode on Fruit Ninja. Could be funny. Everything else's funnier than whatever "Im out of ideas" videos and video contests they are creating now. See I told you annoying orange was going to die sooner or later. Not literally. Okay must wake up at 5.30am tomorrow, plan is breakfast at macdonalds and stuying till tuition at 10am.

Saw this from Tzuhsiang's, I've heard about Stairway to Heaven's backmasked message the last time I was Googling about Satanism and Marilyn Manson after Winston introduced it to me and told me about subliminal messaging through backmasking in Manson's songs. Today I read up more and oh shit some are real scary. Here's the link I saw from Tzuhsiang, http://jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm a few of those are utter crap though... like the Pokemon Rap and Break On Through. Those in the link aren't scary don't worry. The slightly more frightening ones are probably only Beatles. For the strong hearted, here's Slayer in the album Hell Awaits. That's the one that's scary. And the link auto-plays. So don't say that I didn't warn you. Stupid wikipedia didn't warn me. Audio was blasted cause I was intently trying to listen to words in another backmasked song. Much more at wikipedia's link. Random note: the Church of Satan has relatively apt statements/rules for life. Seems pretty sane. Don't know much about Satanism but I've no idea why I've had a really negative view of it till reading a bit more about it just now.

I think I'm finally at peace with my work-play lifestyle. I realised those urges to turn on the computer and surf around aren't 'wants', and I am not defeated or extremely weak-willed just because I decided to give myself a break. I'll balance like that, turn this computer-usage down notch by notch as the days progress. Things cock-up, of course they do. So yes there must be ups and downs. Now I've told you this, I hope I won't be imposing on you any additional irritation from now. I think I'll subconsciously ask some of you about your progress though, cause 1. I really care about you and wish you do well and also 2. as someone's who a bit of a "competition" person, I need something / someone to work towards. Yes, so I'll be expecting good answers. Good meaning good for you, good for me. Will (really) love random encouraging messages once in a while.

Today I wrote down the A-level exam dates on my planner. No idea why instead of giving me a bit more of healthy stress, I felt more confident. We're all far from reaching our goals but since you still read my blog at a week away from CT2s, you know I love you and wish you all the best. <3 HTML coding refused to let me do a "less than three" cause it insisted I had a broken tag just now. Weird. Morning run tomorrow. Last time I did it was 30th May.

Again, it's a cliche, but it's done well. I don't think theirs a stop motion though, would have been tedious. Should be just a fast forwarded video lah.

I'm just like fucking disappointed with my self. This will be the last time I'm going to procrastinate over here. Everyone else' sleeping at 3am daily and I'm doing the same. They are studying, I'm online. Half an hour of computer usage turns out to be until 2am before I realise it's getting late. Wake up next day at noon time and then waste my day away. Stupid fucking 3.5 days-out made me lose every single drip of motivation I had. This is the fucking last time I'm complaining here. No more blogging till after CT2s. I moved the mattress over to studying/computer room again. Less sleep, more studying. As long as I don't turn on the computer I'm safe. As long as I get enough motivation. Physics been crazy. Tuition's piled me up with so much I think I'm going to manage a good grade. But at the expense of the other subjects. I haven't started on math and econs revision. At all. Math because I'm too cocky for my own good and I think I can manage decent with 2 or 3 days. Econs is just fucked. Okay bye.

Yes, it's funny but somehow I think it's a bit wickedly scary.

So, fuck. But you know, before I go on, I wanna remind myself that they say there's light at the end of every dark tunnel, there's a rainbow in the sky cause it was raining heavily while you were in the dark tunnel, and there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So Buddha bless me my life will change for the better.

Today, with my new pair of yellow Havaianas at 1 day and 30 minutes old (yeah almost exactly there) I looked down from the table at physics to find...



I mean, other than the fact that I secretly added a big "FUCK!" across the image and adjusted its opacity to 2%, the picture totally screams FUCK right? Oh yeah in case you didn't notice the one on the left, oh guess what? The tags dropped out completely already. We actually went to L4D at Paradiz / movie at Cathay today. But I wasn't feeling so bastardy so I didn't stomp in and demand a new pair even though I was wearing it on my feet. Actually I can't really recognise the guy anymore today I passed by and I wasn't sure it was the same guy. So well never mind. I'll just go super-glue it actually, no biggie. But I mean, it's only that dramatic when just yesterday I wrote "But luckily my new pair of slippers didn't like give way or anything halfway through the run. Otherwise I'll be crying now." I think heaven wants me to stop going out and stay home studying. I think I'll listen. Okay, after tomorrow.

And then we caught a late show, I was smug about it cause I knew there was a night rider back to Serangoon. Show ended, and I waited for half an hour with Chongyou and Bak and we were like shouting our asses off after we re-read the board and found out it only operates on weekends, eve of public holidays and shit like that. Spent extra money on cab.

I seriously hope this series of unfortunate events will not have a sequel. I won't be stupidly wasting my life away if I didn't have that much to whine about.

On a happier note, yesterday saved me some money. I settled lunch and dinner and I only bought $5 plus worth of snacks. And 2 packets were not eaten so I brought them home. So now I have a bit of studying-food. YES! HAHA CHEAPSKATE WTH CHEAPCHEAPCHEAPSKATE. But nevermind, I mean, living free, that's like total bliss right? Note, it's living free, not free-loading like some of you might call. Okay actually sorry friends sorry Jieting I'm like such a free-loader :( Bastard.

I shall blog no more and let the pictures do the talking. Remember a few weeks ago I said I've started to design cards to my closest of friends? Yeah I'm doing that. The only person so far (from the day I've decided I'll make such cards) I've missed was Ben Zhang. Sorry dude, I think that was a busy week. Plus I didn't have your home address. You might notice that Liqin's envelope (HANDMADE TOO) has an uncanny resemblance to Wenxin's? Yeah, I took the picture before I made her envelope so... I improvised. Had to take a nice picture right? Spent loads of time drawing okay!(Oh yeah happy early birthday Liqin!)







Finally to end of this streak of bad luck and celebrate the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow out of the dark tunnel, I'm going to have to do this. I'm sorry for the double crude-ity: the middle finger and the absence of a t-shirt over my body. But I was pissed and I was lazy. Respectively. I'll make it a smaller image so you guys don't feel so gross about it. And yes stop staring at my pimples I haven't had a decent sleep for days. And yeah that, by the way, is a sarcastic smile. And again I'm sorry I'm topless. I'm not trying to show off my abs (which are not in the picture anyway), and no it isn't a sexual insinuation as well. I mean, seriously, what are you trying to tell me if your Facebook profile picture is of you half naked? I mean like guys lah. Okay so wish me all the best I don't hope to be complaining with a third post. K sorry the post's kinda inconsistent today it's late I wanna bathe and sleep.

FML morning of my life. Went to Serangoon Macdonalds in the morning at 9.30am in an attempt to study. Halfway through studying my Havaianas broke. Shit. Maintained for an hour before I decided to head off to Cathay barefooted. Walking distance was about the same back home so might as well. Plus Hs supposed to have picnic at ECP so yeah slippers are necessary. Seriously bare your sole. They should consider me as ambassador. From housing estates to town. Anyway got to Cathay, waited for 45 mins before NUM opened, got a pair of slippers and vroom zhoom boom it started pouring. LIKE FML X2. In the end I ran through the rain with the pair of new slippers I bought. Got drenched. But luckily my new pair of slippers didn't like give way or anything halfway through the run. Otherwise I'll be crying now. No I won't be but I'll be real pissed.

The only condolence I got was that I talked to the dude at NUM and got a 20% discount. Shaved 8 bucks off the $39.99 price tag. Phew. And phew for NETS too. Didn't have enough cash I panicked for a second. K I'm late gtg now. Yuting's going to hate me when she sees this. Late already still got time to blog :(

Felt like crap when my mum just handed me $500 for tuition fees, allowances and stuff. I've replaced my brother as the bloody money sucker I was miffed at one year ago this time. Should have tried harder last time. But too bad just gotta suck it up and work hard now. No point for regret.

I shouldn't have complained last week that I was too bored. Turns out there's stuff everyday this week... well, except for today. So yeah that's my motivation for studying hard today I guess. I wished things were like... more spaced out. I moved my studying venue at home from the dining room with the huge table to my computer room. I set up the fold-able table in the middle between 2 computers and now I'm studying there. Seems like a distraction huh, right smack between 2 computers. But then somehow it turned out the opposite. Okay, the computer does distract a tiny weeny bit but then this is relaxation time. The dining table was huge, everything else was nice there but I've no idea why I always end up at the sofa 10 metres away. 15 minutes from now, I'll turn on the air-conditioner, shut the windows and curtains, and study. I like it that the curtains kind of keep me from "wordly-distractions" and the clock up here's spoilt so I won't have an inkling to time. Contrary to popular belief, I think not having a sense of time when you're studying works better.

Anyway chem's a big mess. I dunno how to attempt like half the tutorials (even when I'm H1) and the TYS's much worse. Need. Help. Oh today I learnt the method to apply a series of recorded actions on Photoshop to an entire batch of photos. An automated process. How awesome. Could've done this for Georgienne's birthday party's 200 photos and I wouldn't have to spend that 3 hours. I think I'm getting in the zone for mugging. For the first time, today I woke up and I was like "okay, let's study!".

[EDIT: 5.23PM] Shucks shouldn't have came online just now.

Smile at the gay smiley on top. I wonder how many of those sensitive you-s feel a prick every time you see an uncensored "fuck" on my blog. If you do, please tell me. I'll change for you. :D Gay smiley again. Sorry. But then again that "you" would've prolly stopped reading this since the beginning of time. My thoughts right now are really just rapidly fleeting around my head so I'll just grab any and start typing. Messy. I wouldn't hound you down if you gave up reading this halfway through though.

I think TJC recently had some funky dress night or something. Dunno if that's a cool idea really, but shit it reminds me of Halloween. And I miss Halloween. I've only dressed for Halloween like... once. But then shit, I miss it. It's like Buddha wants me to go for Halloween this year or something. Youtube suddenly featured a Halloween Mummy DIY tut that day I was surfing, and ever since I've been seeing a lot of Halloween things around me. Make up tutorials on Youtube, the TJC thingum, the shirt I experimented on for tee-shredding on HBL week, (fad a month ago on lookbook.nu) which by the way, failed and ended up looking like a mummy-suit, and even photobucket today. Actually I intentionally got there but yeah you get the idea. Stupid. Then I thought hey, maybe I really could. I gave up when I Googled "Halloween" and realised that it's on 31st October. Yeah, I'm bad with dates. I think I only locked it in my brain that Christmas was 25th Dec... 2 years ago. I mean, could be the 26th right? 26 looks correct too, no? Yeah, like shit - 31st October. A week to A' levels. Forget it about it already. In reminiscent for those Halloween moments... (Hey, looking at pictures really help!) Aww man guys I miss you all we haven't met for weeeeks!




I think this is like a collection of all the things I've forgot to ramble about in the past month. It's all resurfacing in my head right now like zombies. I think I'm possessed.



FeiYue Shoes. If you haven't been to town for more than 2 weeks, you probably haven't noticed this. FeiYue shoes are now the main shop display in local NUM stores. The thought of it kinda freaks me out. Imagine the horrow when I saw them that day at Wheelock. The outlet at Wheelock's like a complete FeiYue paradise. Like crates, crates, puffy cloud-like cotton, white cloth, more clouds, and much more FeiYues right in front of the shop window. I swear I cannot imagine FeiYue becoming the new fashion trend. Someone please kill me. Oh shit wait I think I'm going too far, too fast.

In case you don't know me well enough, FeiYue shoes are my wushu training shoes. We wushu people have been using them for donkey years. Singapore already had real FeiYues and fake FeiYues (which I've no idea why people wanna make) about 5 years ago before the trend started. One time my coach taught me how to differentiate them by the stars and stuff but that's besides the point. My FeiYue shoes are becoming the new fashion trend. Yes, that pair of thin, cloth-from-my-towel shoes are becoming, I repeat, the new fashion trend. Yes, read that previous line again. One more time.

Okay back here. I remember when I was in secondary 2, I didn't particularly like this junior, and this day I saw him wearing training shoes to school for lessons. I was laughing (with a few others) behind his back about his lack of fashion sense. Wushu shoes just don't go with school uniform. Or any proper clothes, for that matter. That was 5 years ago. [*KOWTOWS* I KNOW I'M SORRY I'M WRONG IT'S ALL MY FAULT I SHOULDN'T HAVE LAUGHED AT HIM 我知道王爷您宽宏大量，大人不计小人过，小人无知请大人原谅!] But then woah look what it's become now. I feel like wushu kinda just had a glee-club, underdog kinda transformation. Our sport was never highly regarded. Pfft now eat my socks, you over-rated basketballers! Just kidding. But, no, really.

Okay again "woah", we wushu kids are trendsetters now. Maybe I should spell wushu with a capital W from now on. Okay, Wushu. :D 3rd gay smiley. A couple weeks ago my brother explained to me the whole story of the French entrepreneurs buying the more expensive FeiYues to sell in French boutique stores and then FeiYues became popular and yadda yadda story which I've got to repeat to everyone else who I've brought this subject up in front of. Today, I read this webpage and now I've got additional information. Orlando Bloom is officially fashion-backward. He wore the shoes I wore since I was a boy of 12. And so now that makes me, Chew Bolong, officially fashion-(extremely)-forward. I can sign your shirt if you really want to. But say "please". My school shoes are a pair of white Cotton-on sneakers which I chose over Converse cause it was 10 bucks cheaper. You might wanna try getting one of those, I think it'll revalue to $80 5 years later. Kidding. But at least NUM's less scam-y than Leftfoot. 2 months back Leftfoot priced FeiYue shoes at $85. Or was it $95? Scammers. Seriously, we (Wushu sportsmen) get them at $15. Sometimes $10. Real deal, $8. [Yes, I didn't miss out the capital W from Wushu. I did it again.]

If I'm coach, I'll quit coaching, go buy the whole lot from my good pal in China for a discounted bundle price of $3 each, grab a whole bunch of my students, pay them $5 an hour, and position them in front of every Leftfoot / NUM store in Singapore and sell the shoes at... $45. Okay lah discount you $5. I'll sell them at $40. $9.90 cheaper than NUM, at least $45 cheaper than Leftfoot. WOAH HUGE PROFIT MARGIN I CAN ALREADY PICTURE THE CASH FLYING DOWN FROM THE SKY AND BURYING ME IN HONEY-SWEET HAPPINESS. Haven't seen coach for long. Should totally tell her about it. I think she's secretly already had such intentions. I'm sure someone told her. But then to be honest I think my coach's earning more than that from coaching already.

Shit I forgot everything else on my mind cause now my mind's filled with floaty FeiYues on white puffy clouds. Oh yeah last: weekends are finally here. Last night I slept late doing nothing on the computer. Not today. Should I go jog with/without my DSLR tomorrow morning if I can wake up?

Oh yes another one! Real last one: many months back I heard one of Lily Allen's songs, on one of my Youtube surfin' days, and it was so interesting I played it like 15 times back to back. Today, I discovered the song's on her first album Alright, Still. Can't believe I haven't got the full album when I like her songs sooo much. I thought the one I watched was a random fun cover she did so I didn't really search for it. Anyway, song's on the top of my blog, if you're lazy, here's a Youtube link w/ lyrics, if you're even lazier, forget about it. But really pretty interesting lyrics, I swear only Lily Allen can come up with these. I hope she did. =x

Nice long (picture-ful) post, new and updated playlist, I could just leave my blog like that and go on a hiatus. I'd be quite satisfied. FYI I spent shit loads of time sorting out the Halloween pictures, re-sizing and all to get them to load fast and look nice like this alright?

Supposed to start on organic chem notes today but the mind and body's unwilling. Everything chemistry is a mess right now, tutorials undone, and ever since the thought of H1 was injected into my head I completely threw it aside. So instead I was attracted to Youtube and ended up spending an hour on College Humor videos. Quite funny hehe. Yeah but before getting up to use the computer, this happened:


Not funny okay. I woke up and it was completely numbed out I had to use my right hand to pick up my left hand I was like super scared I swear. Like you know in Harry Potter when he broke his arm after a Quidditch match and the (fail) professor did a wrong spell to make his arm jelly? For a moment I thought I was going to lose my left arm T.T

And about the holidays: bleargh it's been hell of a boring week. And it's not even the end of the first week of June. I guess it's a good thing that time's passing by so slowly cause that mean more time to study. But then I'm like shit bored at home. I've spent tuesday, wednesday and today alone. I wanna go out but everyone's like "okay, after A' levels" which is kind of a wet blanket but I don't understand why I can't feel the pressure to think the same. I'm afraid that I've never felt the stress to dive into studying for the past 6 years so I'll not be able to motivate myself to do it this time. Fuck, I need like divine intervention or something.

Lily Allen's Everyone's At It lyrics as my title. That line just played on the second I clicked "new post" so yeah, it's fitting to what I'm going to say, I can't think of a decent title, so that.

Today felt pretty much efficient. I finally completed my 2 math HBL quizzes, as well as notes for Electromagnetism. So yes, one less reason to turn on the computer. I fear I'm spending too much time doing notes though, I'm trying to complete my notes before I start on any practices. It's been the same plan for the past 2 years, and because of that the study break's always completely wiped out by writing notes. Which is the reason my slightly-more-egoistic-self attributes, to me failing so many times - I haven't had time to do practices at all. Not this time though. Not this time. My original plan was to complete all notes by this week, but looking at my progress, I think I'll stretch my deadline to next wednesday.

OMFG. VJC FOTY used freaking mug shots for voting on VCSD instead of the decent shots which they took for us. I don't care about winning and I'm not going to win but shit. I looked like crap, the JC1 orientation mug-shot when I untimely chose the weekend before orientation to go screw up my hair at the barber. Plus not having the cheek to request to take off my spectacles (can't tell everyone you're vain on the first day of orientation, right?) before the mug shot by the photographer. Pfft this sucks, was like that for House Comm voting, now this too. Stupid VCSD automatic system. Wait, pffwah. I actually think it's the reason why I didn't get into House Comm, too ugly = no votes. No, I'm just kidding. I wanted to put the screen-shot down here but then I've voted and now I can't go back to access the page. Oh, I voted for myself as one of the 5 males. Is that wrong? Some tell me it's awkward / embarrassing to do but dunno why I don't feel it at all. Heh. Yeah sorry just had to whine, I think you haven't heard me whine for a while and deep down inside you just miss it don't you?

This is a one-off whining. Quick one. After chem today Kelly asked if I've started to feel the stress, thinking about it... no. I'm feeling even less stressed than in secondary 4, which is extremely un-normal. Guess cause then everyone was motivated and we were all just studying together. Came home today around 5pm and till now, I did one Differentiation question. Fucking fantastic. I cannot afford to hear another person / closet mugger complaining about not studying. I wish everyone else was working real hard and instead constantly telling me about how much they did, how much they've studied. Like how Sandra did. Which was great. I know it's kinda ironic that I'm saying this cause right now I'm complaining. But yes, I'm off. Motivation right now is so much lesser than what I had 2 weeks ago. Why?

Econs' finally over. No more arts subject. For CT2s, at least. This time I'm pretty glad cause I've spent most of the holidays on chem and phys and the other 2 are just plain screwed. People who like sciences more than arts are muggers. Yes I've joined in the ranks! Somehow econs wasn't extremely bad today. I did manage to keep my hand occupied 85% of the time. Best econs exam yet. I'm hoping I can finally emerge from the S-E border victorious. Chemistry tomorrow. Plan's to sleep soon and wake up study. Gotta squeeze some math in though. I'm quite proud of my chem organic mindmap. Everything in an A3, coolios. You guys are so jealous of me. But too bad H2ers would prolly need... a vanguard sheet. That's what Perle said her friend did.

Oh anyway just 2 weeks ago I realised that I'm excessively using "like" in speech. It's like impossible to like illustrate an example like clearly without using excessive "like"s. Seriously, and I've started to become conscious of the word. I'm not the only one. But then my speech gets awkward every time I realise I'm using too much of it cause I'm so afraid the person on the other end can sense it too. Need to change. The thesaurus doesn't provide any synonyms in this context. Boo thesaurus rhinoceros tyrannosaurus.

In addition (kcouped from Tzuhsiang):

Awesome 1. and Awesome 2 below:


Oh and last thing: just now I shaved off the bottom half of my sides in the bathroom. I did a subtle one 2 days ago but no one noticed. Which annoyed me a bit. So I needed to be a bit more extremist. Now the bottom half's almost bare. I've no idea why I did it. I guess the standard haircut's starting to feel boring. But I used my razor blade instead of a proper shaver though so it's a bit uneven. And shit I dunno why I'm staying up late to read blogs / surf the net. I care about my midyears. I wanna do well. But life's so many choices and I'm not great at decision making.

Cool. I hated short posts cause of my blog layout which makes short posts look incomplete, ugly and... empty. I think I can just "twit" using my titles now. Never run on an empty stomach. I woke up this morning disappointed with only white bread for breakfast so I decided to have prata after a jog. Short and relaxed jog but at the end of it when I stopped to rest I almost fainted. Damn scary, I didn't even dare to close my eyes cause I thought if I did, I'll not be able to open them again. Plus my stomach went all wobbly and I had to slowly sway towards the nearest coffee-shop to lao sai. I learnt my lesson. Last week I thought it was just my lost stamina when the same thing happened. Minus the lao sai part.

P.S. OMG why got so much hype over Eminem's new album. Pfft. HAHA

Sorry I just feel like giving up.

Today was GP day. I decided it wasn't a good day to do econs so I did GP instead. That amounted to more than 5 hours of computer on the subject "art". And I've only sketched enough points for an essay. But enjoyable though. The next time I'm going to play Fruit Ninja or Ovenbreak Infinity I'm going to tell myself to use the computer and read up on GP instead. First time studying GP, I hope it works. I've only read up on art, and done 1 out of 3 essay outlines I've wanted to do on art and I already spent my entire afternoon / night. Studying was interjected with a lot of random internet surfs and getting distracted at websites though. Woah who knew xinmsn had so much shit! We don't need TV anymore! Plus loading speed is excellent. No lags, no buffering. GREAT! Yeah just FYI I update my span of profile images on the "about" link [it's coded to be randomised] and now I've got a wishlist. And it's getting late so I'm going to sleep soon.

Yeah my brother came home today and in 3 hours we quarreled twice. Mum's not happy but being usual her she's on my brother's side. Just a little. I think she has recently been toning down very well on her bias. Like how I managed to change my temper for the better. I used to shout like, a lot when I was in primary school. Still persisted through lower secondary. My grandma reckons it a miracle cause she says these type of characteristic things are almost unchangeable. But anyway I'm annoyed. My brother just got official notification that he's down-PES-ed (long story) and it sucks. He's going to be a clerk and get to come home everyday and we'll quarrel and he'll piss me off. Otherwise, he'll sit in front of me while I'm studying and use the computer. Or he'll request for family meals outside (imagine that every night) and I'll have less time to study. And also I will no longer be able to wear any of his clothes. One of the reasons why we quarreled - he came home and saw his yellow jacket swept over his chair. I forgot to hide it in the cupboard. But fuck lah seriously, his presence at home is going to make me screw up my A levels. Yeah, all his fault.

Blogging on my iPod touch. Pretty awesome, think I'm going to do this for the rest of the week whenever I have an urge to blog. it's so unfun like this I could probably just stop blogging for good.No computer till after CTs, except on the iPod touch. Sounds like a plan. Anywy I'm banning computer for a week cause yesternight I surfed and only slept at 5am cause of stupid distractions and today I dunno what took over me I played games on my iPod touch from like 2pm to 5pm. Fruit Ninja's addictive in a way that you feel very unfair everytime you didn't mean to slash the bomb but your touchscreen sensed it. I think the annonying orange should do an episode on Fruit Ninja. Could be funny. Everything else's funnier than whatever "Im out of ideas" videos and video contests they are creating now. See I told you annoying orange was going to die sooner or later. Not literally. Okay must wake up at 5.30am tomorrow, plan is breakfast at macdonalds and stuying till tuition at 10am.

Saw this from Tzuhsiang's, I've heard about Stairway to Heaven's backmasked message the last time I was Googling about Satanism and Marilyn Manson after Winston introduced it to me and told me about subliminal messaging through backmasking in Manson's songs. Today I read up more and oh shit some are real scary. Here's the link I saw from Tzuhsiang, http://jeffmilner.com/backmasking.htm a few of those are utter crap though... like the Pokemon Rap and Break On Through. Those in the link aren't scary don't worry. The slightly more frightening ones are probably only Beatles. For the strong hearted, here's Slayer in the album Hell Awaits. That's the one that's scary. And the link auto-plays. So don't say that I didn't warn you. Stupid wikipedia didn't warn me. Audio was blasted cause I was intently trying to listen to words in another backmasked song. Much more at wikipedia's link. Random note: the Church of Satan has relatively apt statements/rules for life. Seems pretty sane. Don't know much about Satanism but I've no idea why I've had a really negative view of it till reading a bit more about it just now.

I think I'm finally at peace with my work-play lifestyle. I realised those urges to turn on the computer and surf around aren't 'wants', and I am not defeated or extremely weak-willed just because I decided to give myself a break. I'll balance like that, turn this computer-usage down notch by notch as the days progress. Things cock-up, of course they do. So yes there must be ups and downs. Now I've told you this, I hope I won't be imposing on you any additional irritation from now. I think I'll subconsciously ask some of you about your progress though, cause 1. I really care about you and wish you do well and also 2. as someone's who a bit of a "competition" person, I need something / someone to work towards. Yes, so I'll be expecting good answers. Good meaning good for you, good for me. Will (really) love random encouraging messages once in a while.

Today I wrote down the A-level exam dates on my planner. No idea why instead of giving me a bit more of healthy stress, I felt more confident. We're all far from reaching our goals but since you still read my blog at a week away from CT2s, you know I love you and wish you all the best. <3 HTML coding refused to let me do a "less than three" cause it insisted I had a broken tag just now. Weird. Morning run tomorrow. Last time I did it was 30th May.

Again, it's a cliche, but it's done well. I don't think theirs a stop motion though, would have been tedious. Should be just a fast forwarded video lah.

I'm just like fucking disappointed with my self. This will be the last time I'm going to procrastinate over here. Everyone else' sleeping at 3am daily and I'm doing the same. They are studying, I'm online. Half an hour of computer usage turns out to be until 2am before I realise it's getting late. Wake up next day at noon time and then waste my day away. Stupid fucking 3.5 days-out made me lose every single drip of motivation I had. This is the fucking last time I'm complaining here. No more blogging till after CT2s. I moved the mattress over to studying/computer room again. Less sleep, more studying. As long as I don't turn on the computer I'm safe. As long as I get enough motivation. Physics been crazy. Tuition's piled me up with so much I think I'm going to manage a good grade. But at the expense of the other subjects. I haven't started on math and econs revision. At all. Math because I'm too cocky for my own good and I think I can manage decent with 2 or 3 days. Econs is just fucked. Okay bye.

Yes, it's funny but somehow I think it's a bit wickedly scary.

So, fuck. But you know, before I go on, I wanna remind myself that they say there's light at the end of every dark tunnel, there's a rainbow in the sky cause it was raining heavily while you were in the dark tunnel, and there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. So Buddha bless me my life will change for the better.

Today, with my new pair of yellow Havaianas at 1 day and 30 minutes old (yeah almost exactly there) I looked down from the table at physics to find...



I mean, other than the fact that I secretly added a big "FUCK!" across the image and adjusted its opacity to 2%, the picture totally screams FUCK right? Oh yeah in case you didn't notice the one on the left, oh guess what? The tags dropped out completely already. We actually went to L4D at Paradiz / movie at Cathay today. But I wasn't feeling so bastardy so I didn't stomp in and demand a new pair even though I was wearing it on my feet. Actually I can't really recognise the guy anymore today I passed by and I wasn't sure it was the same guy. So well never mind. I'll just go super-glue it actually, no biggie. But I mean, it's only that dramatic when just yesterday I wrote "But luckily my new pair of slippers didn't like give way or anything halfway through the run. Otherwise I'll be crying now." I think heaven wants me to stop going out and stay home studying. I think I'll listen. Okay, after tomorrow.

And then we caught a late show, I was smug about it cause I knew there was a night rider back to Serangoon. Show ended, and I waited for half an hour with Chongyou and Bak and we were like shouting our asses off after we re-read the board and found out it only operates on weekends, eve of public holidays and shit like that. Spent extra money on cab.

I seriously hope this series of unfortunate events will not have a sequel. I won't be stupidly wasting my life away if I didn't have that much to whine about.

On a happier note, yesterday saved me some money. I settled lunch and dinner and I only bought $5 plus worth of snacks. And 2 packets were not eaten so I brought them home. So now I have a bit of studying-food. YES! HAHA CHEAPSKATE WTH CHEAPCHEAPCHEAPSKATE. But nevermind, I mean, living free, that's like total bliss right? Note, it's living free, not free-loading like some of you might call. Okay actually sorry friends sorry Jieting I'm like such a free-loader :( Bastard.

I shall blog no more and let the pictures do the talking. Remember a few weeks ago I said I've started to design cards to my closest of friends? Yeah I'm doing that. The only person so far (from the day I've decided I'll make such cards) I've missed was Ben Zhang. Sorry dude, I think that was a busy week. Plus I didn't have your home address. You might notice that Liqin's envelope (HANDMADE TOO) has an uncanny resemblance to Wenxin's? Yeah, I took the picture before I made her envelope so... I improvised. Had to take a nice picture right? Spent loads of time drawing okay!(Oh yeah happy early birthday Liqin!)







Finally to end of this streak of bad luck and celebrate the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow out of the dark tunnel, I'm going to have to do this. I'm sorry for the double crude-ity: the middle finger and the absence of a t-shirt over my body. But I was pissed and I was lazy. Respectively. I'll make it a smaller image so you guys don't feel so gross about it. And yes stop staring at my pimples I haven't had a decent sleep for days. And yeah that, by the way, is a sarcastic smile. And again I'm sorry I'm topless. I'm not trying to show off my abs (which are not in the picture anyway), and no it isn't a sexual insinuation as well. I mean, seriously, what are you trying to tell me if your Facebook profile picture is of you half naked? I mean like guys lah. Okay so wish me all the best I don't hope to be complaining with a third post. K sorry the post's kinda inconsistent today it's late I wanna bathe and sleep.

FML morning of my life. Went to Serangoon Macdonalds in the morning at 9.30am in an attempt to study. Halfway through studying my Havaianas broke. Shit. Maintained for an hour before I decided to head off to Cathay barefooted. Walking distance was about the same back home so might as well. Plus Hs supposed to have picnic at ECP so yeah slippers are necessary. Seriously bare your sole. They should consider me as ambassador. From housing estates to town. Anyway got to Cathay, waited for 45 mins before NUM opened, got a pair of slippers and vroom zhoom boom it started pouring. LIKE FML X2. In the end I ran through the rain with the pair of new slippers I bought. Got drenched. But luckily my new pair of slippers didn't like give way or anything halfway through the run. Otherwise I'll be crying now. No I won't be but I'll be real pissed.

The only condolence I got was that I talked to the dude at NUM and got a 20% discount. Shaved 8 bucks off the $39.99 price tag. Phew. And phew for NETS too. Didn't have enough cash I panicked for a second. K I'm late gtg now. Yuting's going to hate me when she sees this. Late already still got time to blog :(

Felt like crap when my mum just handed me $500 for tuition fees, allowances and stuff. I've replaced my brother as the bloody money sucker I was miffed at one year ago this time. Should have tried harder last time. But too bad just gotta suck it up and work hard now. No point for regret.

I shouldn't have complained last week that I was too bored. Turns out there's stuff everyday this week... well, except for today. So yeah that's my motivation for studying hard today I guess. I wished things were like... more spaced out. I moved my studying venue at home from the dining room with the huge table to my computer room. I set up the fold-able table in the middle between 2 computers and now I'm studying there. Seems like a distraction huh, right smack between 2 computers. But then somehow it turned out the opposite. Okay, the computer does distract a tiny weeny bit but then this is relaxation time. The dining table was huge, everything else was nice there but I've no idea why I always end up at the sofa 10 metres away. 15 minutes from now, I'll turn on the air-conditioner, shut the windows and curtains, and study. I like it that the curtains kind of keep me from "wordly-distractions" and the clock up here's spoilt so I won't have an inkling to time. Contrary to popular belief, I think not having a sense of time when you're studying works better.

Anyway chem's a big mess. I dunno how to attempt like half the tutorials (even when I'm H1) and the TYS's much worse. Need. Help. Oh today I learnt the method to apply a series of recorded actions on Photoshop to an entire batch of photos. An automated process. How awesome. Could've done this for Georgienne's birthday party's 200 photos and I wouldn't have to spend that 3 hours. I think I'm getting in the zone for mugging. For the first time, today I woke up and I was like "okay, let's study!".

[EDIT: 5.23PM] Shucks shouldn't have came online just now.

Smile at the gay smiley on top. I wonder how many of those sensitive you-s feel a prick every time you see an uncensored "fuck" on my blog. If you do, please tell me. I'll change for you. :D Gay smiley again. Sorry. But then again that "you" would've prolly stopped reading this since the beginning of time. My thoughts right now are really just rapidly fleeting around my head so I'll just grab any and start typing. Messy. I wouldn't hound you down if you gave up reading this halfway through though.

I think TJC recently had some funky dress night or something. Dunno if that's a cool idea really, but shit it reminds me of Halloween. And I miss Halloween. I've only dressed for Halloween like... once. But then shit, I miss it. It's like Buddha wants me to go for Halloween this year or something. Youtube suddenly featured a Halloween Mummy DIY tut that day I was surfing, and ever since I've been seeing a lot of Halloween things around me. Make up tutorials on Youtube, the TJC thingum, the shirt I experimented on for tee-shredding on HBL week, (fad a month ago on lookbook.nu) which by the way, failed and ended up looking like a mummy-suit, and even photobucket today. Actually I intentionally got there but yeah you get the idea. Stupid. Then I thought hey, maybe I really could. I gave up when I Googled "Halloween" and realised that it's on 31st October. Yeah, I'm bad with dates. I think I only locked it in my brain that Christmas was 25th Dec... 2 years ago. I mean, could be the 26th right? 26 looks correct too, no? Yeah, like shit - 31st October. A week to A' levels. Forget it about it already. In reminiscent for those Halloween moments... (Hey, looking at pictures really help!) Aww man guys I miss you all we haven't met for weeeeks!




I think this is like a collection of all the things I've forgot to ramble about in the past month. It's all resurfacing in my head right now like zombies. I think I'm possessed.



FeiYue Shoes. If you haven't been to town for more than 2 weeks, you probably haven't noticed this. FeiYue shoes are now the main shop display in local NUM stores. The thought of it kinda freaks me out. Imagine the horrow when I saw them that day at Wheelock. The outlet at Wheelock's like a complete FeiYue paradise. Like crates, crates, puffy cloud-like cotton, white cloth, more clouds, and much more FeiYues right in front of the shop window. I swear I cannot imagine FeiYue becoming the new fashion trend. Someone please kill me. Oh shit wait I think I'm going too far, too fast.

In case you don't know me well enough, FeiYue shoes are my wushu training shoes. We wushu people have been using them for donkey years. Singapore already had real FeiYues and fake FeiYues (which I've no idea why people wanna make) about 5 years ago before the trend started. One time my coach taught me how to differentiate them by the stars and stuff but that's besides the point. My FeiYue shoes are becoming the new fashion trend. Yes, that pair of thin, cloth-from-my-towel shoes are becoming, I repeat, the new fashion trend. Yes, read that previous line again. One more time.

Okay back here. I remember when I was in secondary 2, I didn't particularly like this junior, and this day I saw him wearing training shoes to school for lessons. I was laughing (with a few others) behind his back about his lack of fashion sense. Wushu shoes just don't go with school uniform. Or any proper clothes, for that matter. That was 5 years ago. [*KOWTOWS* I KNOW I'M SORRY I'M WRONG IT'S ALL MY FAULT I SHOULDN'T HAVE LAUGHED AT HIM 我知道王爷您宽宏大量，大人不计小人过，小人无知请大人原谅!] But then woah look what it's become now. I feel like wushu kinda just had a glee-club, underdog kinda transformation. Our sport was never highly regarded. Pfft now eat my socks, you over-rated basketballers! Just kidding. But, no, really.

Okay again "woah", we wushu kids are trendsetters now. Maybe I should spell wushu with a capital W from now on. Okay, Wushu. :D 3rd gay smiley. A couple weeks ago my brother explained to me the whole story of the French entrepreneurs buying the more expensive FeiYues to sell in French boutique stores and then FeiYues became popular and yadda yadda story which I've got to repeat to everyone else who I've brought this subject up in front of. Today, I read this webpage and now I've got additional information. Orlando Bloom is officially fashion-backward. He wore the shoes I wore since I was a boy of 12. And so now that makes me, Chew Bolong, officially fashion-(extremely)-forward. I can sign your shirt if you really want to. But say "please". My school shoes are a pair of white Cotton-on sneakers which I chose over Converse cause it was 10 bucks cheaper. You might wanna try getting one of those, I think it'll revalue to $80 5 years later. Kidding. But at least NUM's less scam-y than Leftfoot. 2 months back Leftfoot priced FeiYue shoes at $85. Or was it $95? Scammers. Seriously, we (Wushu sportsmen) get them at $15. Sometimes $10. Real deal, $8. [Yes, I didn't miss out the capital W from Wushu. I did it again.]

If I'm coach, I'll quit coaching, go buy the whole lot from my good pal in China for a discounted bundle price of $3 each, grab a whole bunch of my students, pay them $5 an hour, and position them in front of every Leftfoot / NUM store in Singapore and sell the shoes at... $45. Okay lah discount you $5. I'll sell them at $40. $9.90 cheaper than NUM, at least $45 cheaper than Leftfoot. WOAH HUGE PROFIT MARGIN I CAN ALREADY PICTURE THE CASH FLYING DOWN FROM THE SKY AND BURYING ME IN HONEY-SWEET HAPPINESS. Haven't seen coach for long. Should totally tell her about it. I think she's secretly already had such intentions. I'm sure someone told her. But then to be honest I think my coach's earning more than that from coaching already.

Shit I forgot everything else on my mind cause now my mind's filled with floaty FeiYues on white puffy clouds. Oh yeah last: weekends are finally here. Last night I slept late doing nothing on the computer. Not today. Should I go jog with/without my DSLR tomorrow morning if I can wake up?

Oh yes another one! Real last one: many months back I heard one of Lily Allen's songs, on one of my Youtube surfin' days, and it was so interesting I played it like 15 times back to back. Today, I discovered the song's on her first album Alright, Still. Can't believe I haven't got the full album when I like her songs sooo much. I thought the one I watched was a random fun cover she did so I didn't really search for it. Anyway, song's on the top of my blog, if you're lazy, here's a Youtube link w/ lyrics, if you're even lazier, forget about it. But really pretty interesting lyrics, I swear only Lily Allen can come up with these. I hope she did. =x

Nice long (picture-ful) post, new and updated playlist, I could just leave my blog like that and go on a hiatus. I'd be quite satisfied. FYI I spent shit loads of time sorting out the Halloween pictures, re-sizing and all to get them to load fast and look nice like this alright?

Supposed to start on organic chem notes today but the mind and body's unwilling. Everything chemistry is a mess right now, tutorials undone, and ever since the thought of H1 was injected into my head I completely threw it aside. So instead I was attracted to Youtube and ended up spending an hour on College Humor videos. Quite funny hehe. Yeah but before getting up to use the computer, this happened:


Not funny okay. I woke up and it was completely numbed out I had to use my right hand to pick up my left hand I was like super scared I swear. Like you know in Harry Potter when he broke his arm after a Quidditch match and the (fail) professor did a wrong spell to make his arm jelly? For a moment I thought I was going to lose my left arm T.T

And about the holidays: bleargh it's been hell of a boring week. And it's not even the end of the first week of June. I guess it's a good thing that time's passing by so slowly cause that mean more time to study. But then I'm like shit bored at home. I've spent tuesday, wednesday and today alone. I wanna go out but everyone's like "okay, after A' levels" which is kind of a wet blanket but I don't understand why I can't feel the pressure to think the same. I'm afraid that I've never felt the stress to dive into studying for the past 6 years so I'll not be able to motivate myself to do it this time. Fuck, I need like divine intervention or something.

Lily Allen's Everyone's At It lyrics as my title. That line just played on the second I clicked "new post" so yeah, it's fitting to what I'm going to say, I can't think of a decent title, so that.

Today felt pretty much efficient. I finally completed my 2 math HBL quizzes, as well as notes for Electromagnetism. So yes, one less reason to turn on the computer. I fear I'm spending too much time doing notes though, I'm trying to complete my notes before I start on any practices. It's been the same plan for the past 2 years, and because of that the study break's always completely wiped out by writing notes. Which is the reason my slightly-more-egoistic-self attributes, to me failing so many times - I haven't had time to do practices at all. Not this time though. Not this time. My original plan was to complete all notes by this week, but looking at my progress, I think I'll stretch my deadline to next wednesday.

OMFG. VJC FOTY used freaking mug shots for voting on VCSD instead of the decent shots which they took for us. I don't care about winning and I'm not going to win but shit. I looked like crap, the JC1 orientation mug-shot when I untimely chose the weekend before orientation to go screw up my hair at the barber. Plus not having the cheek to request to take off my spectacles (can't tell everyone you're vain on the first day of orientation, right?) before the mug shot by the photographer. Pfft this sucks, was like that for House Comm voting, now this too. Stupid VCSD automatic system. Wait, pffwah. I actually think it's the reason why I didn't get into House Comm, too ugly = no votes. No, I'm just kidding. I wanted to put the screen-shot down here but then I've voted and now I can't go back to access the page. Oh, I voted for myself as one of the 5 males. Is that wrong? Some tell me it's awkward / embarrassing to do but dunno why I don't feel it at all. Heh. Yeah sorry just had to whine, I think you haven't heard me whine for a while and deep down inside you just miss it don't you?
