Ministers from USA, UK and Singapore were travelling on a warship that was cruising near S.Arabia. The 3 were talking about how brave their soldiers were when their cordial discussion soon turned into an argument where each wanted to prove the bravery of their own soldiers.

The Pres. of USA said, "let me show u what is guts", where upon he called his Colonel and said, "jump into the sea and swim 3 rounds around this ship!" The Colonel replied, "anything for Uncle Sam, Sir", and jumped into the shark infested sea and swam 3 rounds around the ship, with the sharks chasing him like mad! After the successful 3 rounds, the Colonel came up to the deck and said, "I did it for Uncle Sam Mr. President!" The proud US President replied, "That's what I call guts!"

The Prime Minister of UK became aggressive and quickly called his General and said, "general, jump into the sea and swim 10 rounds around this ship!" The General replied, "anything for the Queen, Sir", and jumped into the shark infested sea and swam 10 rounds around the ship, with the sharks chasing him frantically. After the successful 10 rounds the 3-star General came up to the deck and said, "Long Live the Queen!" The proud UK PM replied, "That's what I call guts!"

The Prime Minister of Singapore cannot control himself. He had to show that his soldiers have it too. He called one of his Private and said, "Soldier, jump into the sea and swim 15 rounds around this ship!" The Private replied, "Oi, you siao (crazy) izzit? I juz bought my 4-room and I am paying through my nose. Now, U want me to jump and die, eh? If u want to hao lian (show off), you jump into the sea yourself lah!" The Singapore PM smiled and said, "Now, that's what I call guts!"

A spot of blogging duly deserved? yep guess i should enter some input about my daily routine life. yes, i'm slowly recognizing the fact that i'm falling into a bloody timetable. how horrible is that? my poor spontaneous spirit! that aside, how's the new look? pink your color? no? too bad. haha i change layouts like i change.. layouts? lol. in a pretty bouncy and chatty mood, as you can see. why eh? today was kinda hellish though, the weather was boiling enough, the 2.4 km at 3 pm torture was realistic enough. i hate it when i have to take a non air con rattle-ly 74 bus home crowded with sticky pple and obasans.

argh work is killin' me. does anyone else feel guilty every day for not doing work that you are supposed to do? pangs of such guilt hits me like a tonne of brick sometimes. the fact that i don't have another 2 more yrs to slack b4 taking the As is killing me too. argh when is the academic yr gonna end..
out of point but i like Holland Village. haha fun-o-rama was alright but the haunted house was a disappointment. guess the ghosts were all tired. heard a wierd thing on the same sat that night though that i suspect was more than a figment of my imagination and less than human. *eeeps*

The year is like a Cake. Enjoy each day like a slice of sweet glorious life and let it be a creamy decorated cake- unhealthy, sinful and interesting. You never know what fillings are there in it until you taste it. It could be chocolate contentment, blueberry banter or even mixed fruit fun! so, a slice of Cake for you?

feeling much betta now, angst/stress/wateva gone. haha must be the lure of the precious weekend. yupperz but its gonna be a busy sat wif morning band, afternoon funorama and night syo concert. i need sleeeep. spent the whole night watching tv.yay.

argh! *screams at world*

mon end 4, guzheng from 5-6
tues end 5, maths remedial from 5.15-6.45
wed end 1.40, band from 3.30-7.30
thur end 3, maths tuition from 4 to 7.30
fri end 4, s paper from 5-6.45
sat band 10-4

am coming home everyday after 7. can't stand my schedule, i think my life is damn sad! i have something on every day of the week and by the time i reach sunday i'm too tired to do homework so i'll just grab some sleep. it's tiring and wearing me out fast. i absolutely dread starting a new day every morning. my timetable is damn screwed, and total free period(s) amount only up to 1. they say arts students have lax timetables. my foot. we r probably worst off compared to sci pple. how is this fair? my temper/mood these days r also quite bad. stress is getting to me. *i must not succumb!*

seriously thinking of dropping econs, though everyone is persuading me not to.
here r the reasons for dropping:
1. i don't see the point in econs anymore, hence the lack of interest.
2. i want to keep my lit s paper and i can use the time to do my other subs well enuff to get better grades for common test.
3. econs is not a pre-requisite for any university courses.
4. i have a lack of confidence in econs, prob. stemming from my 7-13/25 essay grades.
5. i can't imagine studying econs for the As.

but.. i'm in a dilemna cos everyone tells me to hold on and see what happens. but the prob is if i do hold on my grades will definitely not get better than now (which is qte bad) and i'll most prob have to drop my S. damn. mr. lee's a good teacher though, and i think most of the time i understand the econs concepts but juz that its a new subject and i can't seem to grasp its answering techniques for essay writing. how? to drop or not to drop, that is the question.

i. i. i. everytime it's about me, aint it? sick of it.

gonna get a puppy after As.

happy vdae to all peeps! or should i say happy friendship day? yep. haha am in the general state of feeling genial and nice. Guess its all the presents i bought for pple and the presents i got. not much this year though, but i really love the piggy wristrest thingy emmiline, chiteng and silin got for me! the card too.. so sweet. haha yups made my dae. din go for road run this morning, was feeling kinda sick the night before and will only haf like 4 hrs of sleep if i wake up at 6 to go turf city. so i happily slept till 11 before going to band rehearsal for farewell of our VP.

went shopping for prezzies wif PK after band followed by going town wif rux. saw couples everywhere, but strangely 'nuff i dun feel jealous at all. haha guess that's a sign that i'm still luxuriating in the glow of single-hood. had a "Count the Heart-shaped Balloons" match with rux. i'll say i'm more sharp at it. heh. ate and continued in our quest for nice stuff. spotlight is good for presents that doesn't have any real practical uses. haha.

going sentosa in the morning tmr to soak up the sun! yups can't wait. haha followed by an evening at the riverboat restaurant in sentosa where the glittering waves will accompany the exotic food and exciting pple. sounds good yeah? forget about homework, there isn't any. haha think i'm not lacking in the slacking area that's for sure.

it's not even two months into the year and everyone's looking so worn out. there's a palpable air of tiredness that everyone can sense, yet do nothing about because they are too exhausted, physically and mentally, to care. the vivacity and cheer of the people are dulled and hidden at the back of their minds, only to flash at moments when you least expect it. the constant and steady stream of homework ensures everybody's under some form of stress.

you become concerned only about yourself, you being the entire universe. time is a jail with bars of numerical digits, chaining us to its eternal confines of routine actions. the spirit is void and huddled into a ball of defensive mechanism, ready to strike out fatally when touched so that it can recoil and not be affected in this age of despair and destitution.

yet, somehow, a glimmer of hope lies at the end of this tunnel.

a new template in conjunction with the upcoming v-dae! hm think its such a overrated day but yeah, time to celebrate love! moulin rouge too, on this sunday. heh heh. feeling relaxed, no pressing homework to be done.. shall try and sleep early tonight and get to the band room on time tmr. been sleeping at 1 every night. keanu reeves on ch.5! eee he looks wierd. haha i prefer the matrix smouldering look. my poor thighs r screaming in their little cute way to tell me, "hey, we've been overworked". how nice. PE should be renamed PT. 1 hr of sheer Physical Torture. as beat saes, "we don't learn anything out of physical education." yup, 'cept learning that we should try and get out of it as often as possible.
this looks yummy, looking at the 6610. should i?? anyhow, below is a list of songs. if u have 'em, send send!!!
