free me from the reins of life so that freedom is no longer a dream, but a reality that would satisfy our non-phsicals needs......Let us be free......Let my ppl go.......
Last prac with shen lao shi todae, quite sad, he's a relly gd teacher and we really improved a lot under his guidance, but still the sch can't afford to pay him, the co can't afford to pay him, though we really need him....todae managed to psyho jason and get bing liang into pernament percussion, could tell that he was quite pissed after that, but i was stating facts when talking to him. First, he said that percussion is easier to learn than Yang Qin, thus we should train another person. I told him if it was so easy to be a percussionist, why don't he become one and we'll see how he does. Then, he mentioned that Bing Liang and the nicolas are the only ppl left in yang Qin and sort of piss me off as i needed to remind him that taking that 2 ppl away means there would be no more percussionist in the co. Finally, he said smthing that really let me lose my patience. I asked if he thinks that percussion is less important that yang qin, he replied with a firm yes. I simply told him that if that was his viewpoint, there's no point carrying on with the conversation. He gave in and said that its still Bing Liang's choice, thinking that bing liang would choose yang qin over percussion, but in the end, he chose percussion and thus, we have a pernament sec 2 percussionist, then at least i see some hope in Animal Farm 2, else it would go down as another greatest failure in history.....
hmm...Shen lao shi said he will send us the price of the drum pad, hope its below 50, so i can buy:)

i need u like mercy from heaven sky.......i need u....
Teachers' dae celebration. The morning began with our biathelon, in which i took a leisure swim and the Big Walk, haha, don't think my timing was gd. Buckley came in fifth as expected from the results we had so far in interhouse competitions, but anw, i've decided not to really bother bout house events already. Class party was sort of fun, lots of food, pizzas, sushi, snacks, chocolates, pasta. We even drank a toast to our teachers, by screaming "yam seh" for 2 times, leaving the last time for after exams...
Went back to pri sch, the buildings have changed, the ppl have changed, feels like a total stranger in the place, anw waited for 4 hrs before some of the ex-classmates turn up....haiz, the numbers are decresing over years, but who can blame them, the place seem so unfamilar, so foreign to us now......Sense of helplessness came over us at that place.....but the world muz move on, we muz move on, it wasn't exactly a fruitless trip as we managed to see our P6 form teacher and our chinese and basketball teacher. hmm....andy was veri strange todae, acted strangely, makes us wonder...then, in the evening we went to play bball, he seem to lag, yes like a computer, always 1 step behind, wonder why....think....think.....

I lied.....in order to get the truth, I sinned....... to discover what is good, i gave...... to find out how is it like to take and I misunderstand......for me to be understood... How strange the world is at times.... We do exactly the opposite of what we wish to obtain, but thats how life is, full of opposites and we can never understand it..... Do not try to understand life, instead just get what u think is the best out of life.....If one dae we be judged, let us face God bravely and say"i've sinned but i discovered good, i've lied but i've found the truth".......
morn assembly, its seemed to be a routine that every year, there would be a case of public caning......First year we had someone who set up a defamatory website and went around publcising it, Second year, if i'm not wrong,we had someone that stole and this yr, we have someone who stole but this time its a lower sec... Are our teens being corrupted faster and faster? Or is it that the expectations of a rafflesian has gone up? I dunno and i muz say that young children and teens todae are not as innocent as we've seen a few yrs back, i'm still trying to figure out wat this means but anywayi can tell u that it isn't a good sign.
tmr is tchr's dae celebration and ACES dae, mini bialthelon(pardon me spelling) 250m swim, 1.4 run, sianz, sure get flu.....For class party, we ordered 6 pizzas and a cake, hmm....wonder how we gonna finish.
going back to pri sch after that, heard that they set up a CO in my pri sch, going back to see see....

Mar is exceptionally bright todae......the centaurs had a foreboding warning.......saturn is laying in wait.......the King of Hell is too laying in wait.......
Yes, Mars would be bright todae and its for xxxxyears that its been so close to Earth. From afar(my home), it lokks just like a star that doesn't flicker, but with a telescope, the whole celestial body takes shape and comes into view nicely. Haha, just diverting a little, Mars being bright actually mean that something bad is going to happen, according to Harry Potter Book 1(juz joking), its in the myths too, so far nothing bad has happened to me, so i'm wondering....
Got my 3rd A1 for term 3, rather astonishing results from physics, considering that i've failed a test and pass the other with only 15/25, i still got 80.5 and a A+ for coursework. Miss Huang included practicals as well and my marks shot up:). Hist test postponed means nxt wk got 4 test but nvm already as progress report would already be out.
sectionals in the afternoon, turns out that Shen lao shi is coming for 1 more lesson.YAh!!!!!muz say that i've really enjoyed his lessons veri much. He shares that same anti- ACS feeling with us juz that his is towards ACS(Barker Road). Shouldn't write what he said, coz its still a person's opinion.

As the hopes of the future start to take on reality, the mistakes of the past would be forgotten just like paper would fade over time. Memories too, would fade, but good memories usually outlast bad memories, thus often when we look back, we would smile and reminise the scenes then. I'll quote from my Sec 1,2 form teacher: "U've got to create these memories, they will not come naturally. How much u bring away from this place would depend on how much effort u put in......"
todae's highlight is com meeting, continuing Animal Farm 2. Todae the representatives from each group of animals met up with the evicted humans. It was a rather ironic situation, now that the animals ask for advice from the humans on running the farm, though Mr Jones seems a little can be bothered. The focus todae is on Snowball on how he would conduct this meeting. It turns out that he could not make much impact as he is too democratic. The humans have warned us, democracy would get u nowhere, communism even worst, only a capitalist farm would be able to stand on its own. We have outline our programme for the farm for the nxt yr, no matter what, we would stand by our leader, Snowball, we would rise and fall with the farm. Uncertainty lays in the path of the farm, what would happen? Will democracy or even communism work? We dunno and we are going to find out.
