Invincible summer.

I really have no time to blog man, here's a quick update.

Her response when Gideon says he is a kind person who's being bullied by Christine.

"You're living in a warped world Gideon."

Pete:    :))))) hahahahah

Next:
Due to gideon's weirdness, he pulls my hand and use it to scratch his back (disgusting? lol). So I play with Christine by wiping my hand on her shirt.

Christine: "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Pete bursts out loling. Gideon pretends to sob. and due to the loudness of eeeeeeeeeeeee alan and tanu who were sitting on the opposite of the class (witnessing the whole thing) bursts out laughing as well. lol.

RAWR I hate the way that I actually have no work if not for me hunting around for more work to do, making me busier than i should be. much busier. grrrr.

but the sustainable development talk was good by the way. I really gain new perspectives and  open my eyes towards what's happening to the less fortunate ones. i guess my life just sucks and is so meaningless that's why I'm joining all these events to make me feel better. I do have a conscience and a heart for the society, unlike some. unlike some. I repeat, unlike some. and surprisingly, some people who I don't expect to have a heart DO have a heart. I'm pleasantly surprised! yay!

Finder Seeker: 'Suppose you like a girl right, how far will you go?'

Pete, obviously knew what the seeker meant, but cunningly replies 'to the bus stop'.

lol. i amaze myself sometimes.

The seeker tries again.

Seeker: 'Do you actually get work done during prep?'

Pete, after thinking for half-a-second, replies 'Yeah, if I apply a lot of force and if I move a lot.'

lol. they're not even funny. i mean, we get laughter out of it because they were seriously out of sheer randomness. lol.

and of course, the Lim-Cheok feud continues.

here is what i commented on Cheok's blog (in response to his stunningly imaginative poem):

"yeah nice one la emo boy u can actually write poems! lol. cant believe it. gideon’s got talent! try telling that to christine! "

ok here comes school day: pete: 'eh christine, you know gideon's actually got talent'
as soon as that went out of my mouth...

christine: 'what. gideon no talent one laa!' gideon gives the gideon face. christine bursts out into laughter. lol. and that proves my point. lol. (i was laughing also :)

come afternoon,

PCG were scanning photos on arjun's camera.

pete: 'i like photographers they're cool people!'
gideon 'maybe i should replace my father'
pete: 'your father photographer ah'
gideon: 'ya'
christine (edited for dramatic impact): 'father what father you no talent one laa!'
gideon gives the gideon face again.
laughters once again!

and these little things in life are just the most enjoyable thing i have right now, so i treasure it! keep fighting you two! :)

maybe i should continue updating their war. maybe more people will read my blog lol.

you know it's just like i'm huck and gideon is shepherdson. oh no gideon is grangerford cos he loses most of the time. lol. :P and christine is shepherdson (she bakes nice shepherd's pie so gotta give it to her). and huck wangwongwiroj is caught in the middle of this. lol.

As someone WEIRD pointed out, selective speaking does exist, so hereby i am trying to practise selective blogging, whereby i blog only about nice stuff. it actually feels good, but i dunno if it'll last. i am a very rant-ish person by nature. ta ta for now!

This occurred to me while I was eating a watermelon during dinner. :P

Love is like a watermelon. Initially it's so sweet and enjoyable. but the longer you eats into it, the more unpleasant it may become. And once the love is over, what you have left is the hard shell that is not easily broken/destroyed.

lol. nice one la pete.

It's been really sad to see many people around me feeling down and depressed. It's just really an inescapable cycle huh.

All I wanna do, is have some fun. I've got the feeling, I'm not the only one.
- Sheryl Crow's 'All I wanna do'

Why the houses of Buddhists have dirt in the corners - because they don't allow even their vacuum cleaner any attachments

haha. nice one. what the heck.

This week has been rather eventful, and i am exhausted. oh my goddddddddddddddddd.

Gave a speech during prize presentation this morning. First time! Damn scary lol. I am not a very good speaker by nature, and though I've been nervous a lot of times, this is the FIRST TIME i actually feel my leg TREMBLE! lol. it really shakes! i was like omg it's shaking! lol. luckily none of the trembles show in my speech! :) yay overcoming of fear! -grins

Congrats to 6.3 for winning the IFD competition! Here is what Noah has to say:

'He organise the thing, then he... he force us to do the thing, then he rig the judging, then he go buy food for himself'

lol. i am speechless. and it is NOT RIGGED. lol. i receive a few complaints about this actually. lol. i how honest la! lol.

Settler's cafe was fun! and discovered a new game called fluxx! lol. alan won it 3 times, so i guess u can say the game sucks. lol.

Flashback: thursday.

king lear IOC! i was so worried about it, and finally it is over! :D

Koinonia was very interesting/mesmerising/thought-provoking/lack of adjective T-T

The speaker, David Catchpoole was talking about how evolution is not real, he was refuting like the thoery of Charles Darwin then the theory of how ocean creatures get onto land and then back into water again blablabla. Then he demonstrates how the fossils actually support what is mentioned in the bible, depending on how one looks at it. i was quite convinced by what he said though, but i only heard one side of the story, so i kinda leave my choices open here.

flashback: wednesday

interact club is giving me stress. perhaps i'm a bit too harsh on myself. too much expectations?

flashback: tuesday

chinese kou shi!

lost my GDC - it was in my bag's 'secret compartment' lol

flashback: monday

RAWR damn a lot of work, lack of sleep, english test which was horrible, subway dinner with mr mathematics teacher! thank you sir!

Throughout the week I've been feeling really emo. mostly from school work, just like what i said in my chinese oral: 在学校我总是有很大压力！ (I am always very stressed in school!) haha. i thought i the emo nature in me is gone, but monday proves otherwise. very strong proof.

and yes i predict this cycle will repeat itself: interact work, school work, tests, emoness. interact, school, exam, emoness, emoness, emoness and emoness again. it's just inescapable.

The talk about Afghanistan actually makes me appreciate life again, for a bit. and i forget about it, and start to rant. horrible horrible me.

tomorrow is an important day! :)

<edit>

how can i forget the most important thing! christine and gideon keep fighting in class la! damn interesting! haha. i told them 'eh you two very compatible should get married'; their reactions were ....... HAHA.

and christine always do this humming/chirping in class that gets quite annoying when she tries to reach a high note because it goes eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeee and out of tune. gideon will be like 'shut up christine.' and christine will go 'whatever gideon' and this happens almost everyday.

'i dont care about him already' --> 'i also dont care about her.'
'i don't want Gideon to sit there.' --> 'I also dont want her to sit there'

HAHA. and guess who's in the middle of all this. oh well.

that's the life of upper right corner of 6.03 dwellers. lol.

</edit>

Emotions are like a bouncing ball. Once it goes up, it'll come down. Once it's down, it may go up again, but to a smaller high. but it also might stop bouncing. and remain low forever.

Pete is going to LOVE TODAY love today love today!

Today is quite an eventful day indeed, ranging from getting angry with tanu (teeheehee) to getting diarrhoea from egg pudding to being reminded about maths test in subway. lawl!

co-incidence is an incidence whereby you meet your co. (aka company/companion) by coincidence. :D

haha i dunno how the three musketeers get to subway before me in car. but oh well, they got to see their favourite maths teacher, reminding them about maths test! what's a great way to end off a day! cheers!

subway dinner was much better than the lamb dinner i was destined to have at boarding, but luckily i was able to have 'freedom' from the dullness of boarding school food. which them brings me to the english test.

this would be the first time that i didnt write out of point. (i think -.-) i'm quite happy with myself haha. can pass alr! :D I can relate to the Sampath's life, being trapped in this IB torture forever and always. :)

Speaking of Ib torture, it's all about the never ending tests and assessments. and my my how much i hate physics test. the over-egging the pudding in an electric field has given the students from 6.03 bethlehem a severe case of diarrhoea. wink wink.

and apart from that, the monday blues yellows (i refuse to follow the society - just like Sampath :D). never go away.

monday go away come again another week. all the world is waiting for the sunDAY.

You see how my points are linked. that means. my english are getting better. or not. :P

and i just realised one thing. my blog is becoming more incomprehensible. and more gibberish. heck. who cares. haha.

PS If the three musketeers are together, I realise they are a NAG. lawlllllll so u shouldnt hang out with them, especially the G, cause G will make u go GAH GAH GOO like Jellybean. :D (ok i can start talking about how jellybean is in archies and how archies link to archuleta - and how i dont like his voice and he will LOSE)

but nevermind pete still loves G, so he'll join in with the NAG company even though they NEVER INVITE pete, forming a new company called PANG, which is a good word. if any of u remember. -stares at icy ole font. haha. u noob u cant remember right! :p

If u remove the N, GAP? no.
If u remove the A, GNP? hmm maybe. yay can study econs!
If u remove the G, NAP! YES!!! bye bye G :P

It's okay G. If you have a Graphic Calculator, be heartened that GC always exist, or GLC in that matter. or CLG? nah. hahahaha. ok im getting mad. but yay to funness!

This period of life is full of questions, like Siddhartha. hahah. and i dont have his willpower so im kind of getting bored of it, and shall spare my friend peteinsintheair from getting bored also.

i just wanna escape from this life. the life in which everything you do is related to work. school work. even u go out to relax from stress from school/work. it's jsut a vicious cycle. ah cycle ah siddhartha! samsara. tsk tsk.

On a different note, I really really dont wanna grow up, as i mentioned before. Being an adult you have to make decisions, and i HATE making decisions, and the responsibility that comes with it. it sucks. i can't decide for nuts! and whenever i make a wrong decision i always feel guilty, and EMO. haha. on the other hand, being a teen has limited freedom, but u have the freedom to live, to be whoever you want, to be free from decisions, to be free from responsibility. i just want to remain like 21-24? forever... and it's not because of the youthful look if that's what you're thinking. i dont really care how i look.

Perhaps this is one of the things about life that I cannot grasp. and that prevents me from having a complete knowledge of om and samsara, and the voice inside my heart. i've been trying to hear it for so long. but to no avail. ahaha well it's expected, for the amount of effort i put in. but i think by thinking abt all this i'm beginning to get more mature. no! that's scary! i want to remain childlike and childish. both of em. they're cool. we're cool. hooray to boyish pranks :D speaking of which, i think i left paddy clark in thailand. lol.

By the way, I've converted Gideon to a The Afters fan! CHEERS! The afters are just simply awesome. omg. <3 <3 them.

"My boyfriend is a big fan of yours. He calls out your name when we're having sex. Do you think he's gay?" - A lady recently said to Tiger Woods. Apparently Woods did not answer.

LAWL!!!!!!!!

Was chicken pox irritating? Yes? :)

Have you had chicken pox? No? Do you want to get it? No? Scared? :)

Oh mannn! It's such a pity I won't be able to answer any of these questions. I had chicken pox at 4 years old, where I don't feel a thing about chicken pox nor find it irritating at all. hahahahahaha.

and ladies and gentlemen, hereby i prove that i often neglect all the fortunate things in life and bitch vent about all the unfortunate events.

so now, i feel happier than my last blog post, so i shall say:

THE AFTERS IS AWESOMEEEEE :D

Really! :) If love is an ocean wideeeeeeeeeee,

I'll swim to america.

Clifton's feet and armpit are really really SMELLY. HAHAHAHAHAA.

Interact Club interviews last Wednesday. Very exhausting. Now I understand how all the interviewers feel. But I saw many different types of personalities, the diversity of human race. and the basic repeated answer: I am capable and responsible blablabla. It gets boring after some time. oh wells. what to do.

I feel that interviews and speeches are unfair. They favour those with a greater knack for speaking and also favour those who're not stage-averse.

On a lighter note,

Your Personality Is

Guardian (SJ) You are sensible, down to earth, and goal oriented. Bottom line, you are good at playing by the rules. You tend to be dominant - and you are a natural leader. You are interested in rules and order. Morals are important to you. A hard worker, you give your all at whatever you do. You're very serious, and people often tell you to lighten up. In love, you tend to take things carefully and slowly. At work, you are suited to almost any career - but you excel in leadership positions. With others, you tend to be polite and formal. As far as looks go, you are traditionally attractive. You take good care of yourself. On weekends, you tend to like to do organized activities. In fact, you often organize them!

I love Rachel Carson!

Greatest female environmentalist of all time.

Rachel Rachel Rachel!

Haha this is quite cool I didn't realise until yesterday :)

YLS best chambers:
Education: Alex Lim 6.3
Environment: Pete 6.3
Media: Christine 6.3
Community: Tanushree 6.3
Arts: Louis 6.3


YAYYYYY. lol. This shows why 6.3 Bethlehem IS THE BEST CLASS EVER!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I choose the forest. Without a doubt.

Being in IB, it's difficult not to pity the rainforest. for all you've done.

IAs. Portfolio. EE. TOK. WL. yayeness.

As an environmentalist, I feel obliged to protest against IBO, care to join me? (:

Yay my chamber won the best chamber for environment! haha. frankly i didn't think we would win it. it was subpar IMHO.
and I am very very very dissatisfied with ppl in the environment sector. I mean, if you join environment, you better care for the environment man! where got such thing u're doing environment then u say who cares about the environment. u say who cares if got pollution. attitude problem i tell you.
okay yeah people call me a loser because i am an environmentalist. so? I don't give a damn man. I'm doing what i think is right and what i truly believe in. It just doesnt affect you now. so u don't care. selfish ppl u are. imagine u're reborn a 100 years later, and u still can remember what u did to the environment, I'll just simply say: I told you so.

I'm very disturbed by the fact that this is such an alarming, happening issue that requires near-immediate actions and yet people can reamin nonchalant about it.

maybe this world is just selfish.

and to celebrate earth hour, i went out for dinner so I can leave my lights at boarding off. heh. such a responsible environmentalist i am (((:

At a recent game of Taboo:
Gideon to Alan: "You know the guy who US caught and then kill him, the one from iraq war one."
Alan: Shit I dunno the guy.
LOL.

Another round.
Alan's Taboo card: JFK.
Alan: "Shit who the hell is this guy I dunno him."
Us: "ALANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"
LOL man.

Btw, gideon is like the epitome of unpredictability. and i think i like it. i think. think only. (((:


I don't like voting for people. You know it may just be as simple as you vote for the best person/candidate, but it's not as simple as it seems. there're politics behind it. really.

TWICE. TWICE I have voted based on personal preferences. And now I'm feeling seriously very very guilty about it. it seems to be the way most of people vote, but i think it's seriously wrong. and sometimes people vote for other people FOR their candidate's own good.
Best candidate for the job? gone?

I don't know. It seems I can never get my mind straight in a vote. And sometimes I really vote for the wrong person. sigh. This is sad. Why am I like this. why am i... arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"The enjoyment of living can be found only when we love life itself for its larger
reason for existing, for the awareness of the greater laws of life unfolding
through us as individuals,and for our part in the grand scheme of Being."

I like this quote. It is something beyond my understanding and I have yet to comprehend. You know sometimes you know you have to do something different, but you're just not willing to, or you're bounded by something else, something alien to you.

Wow.

Oh well. I'm speechless.

I think IB is seriously sucking my life away, but the thing is I really feel very good about this system. I like it!

U know I really think IB prepares u for uni life very well like all the different sorts of work we have to do all the myriad of things. the portfolio, tok, IAs blablabla.

and like it really motivates you to become a thinker and an independent learner. Yeah I can really feel the development of the thought process you know. so apart from all the sleepless nights, IB is VERY VERY GOOD.

Three cheers and three cheers to IB!

Fame 2008 was damn awesome!!!! <3<3<3<3!

FYI Fame 2008 is like an inter-boarding school version of Singapore Idol :D

The quality was much higher than expected, and all the singers really performed very well, with one or two outstanding ones. The songs they sang were like my favs. haha.

In the end it was down to Nanyang Girl's and ACSI.

And we were allowed two votes each. and this really involves the voting politics.

ACS boys being ACS boys, we voted for our guy and the Nanyang Girl! (95% of the ppl did this)

NY Girl being a girl (:P) they voted for their girl and voted for another noob as they realise our guy's a competition.

and they won!

and this is very very similar to what's happening in the US. It's kinda sad. worrying. i dont know. Anyway, overall FAME was really good! Thai company is priceless! :)

I need a polio injection.

Anyway there's this facebook game called prolific. once you start you can't stop.
