At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love. Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

i really just wanna rewind to five months back. like the great depression, through the times, the stocks have risen to giddy heights, and it could crash at any moment. i refuse to refuse.
And this is how you make Xiao Xiao happy.


Tomorrow is elementary mathematics paper II.

Today's paper was quite tough actually. Darn. But something funny to note, after English paper 2, everyone was just discussing the same topic. Well, more or less everybody. The topic, the invigilator wearing the G-string. Seriously. What, the, hell. It was sooo gross. Eew.

And so, it was after english paper one that i realised that a formal letter is like so.


FROM: XXXXX

DATE

TO:XXXXX

etc.

Well, i switched the "TO" with the "FROM". Meh.

Sigh.

Its weird. This doesn't seem like the O-levels at all.

Dammit, i've been ditched quite a few times this week. And its only monday. The latest time was just now, when SAMUEL TAN was supposed to follow me to Plaza Singapura to redeem my r- MP3. Mine over heated, i think the innards melted, anywhos, i got a brand new one. NO THANKS TO YOU SAM. you furikin' owe me big time. made me wait for half an hour just to say that you'd need anohter hour or so.. HMPFH.

Wow. A word without any vowels- "HMPFH".
can you tell me,
no you can't cause you don't know

can you tell me,
you say you can but you don't know.

can you tell me,
which flower's gonna grow.

can you tell me,
if its gonna be a daisy or a rose.

Mmm-bop-bip-da-ber-dup Doo-whup-Doo-bi-da-Mmm-bahp-
Mmm-bop-bip-da-ber-dup, Dooo- yea-ee-yea-eah.

Mmm-bop-bip-da-ber-dup Doo-whup-Doo-bi-da-Mmm-bahp-
Mmm-bop-bip-da-ber-dup, Dooo- yea-ee-yea-eah.






i'm plannin' to find out which one grows,
its a secret no one knows.
they say, "bee-ah-kahn", is how they say "bacon" in jamaican.
oh, they say "bee-ah-kahn" is how they say "bacon" in jamaican.
and thats how we say bacon in jamaican, its "bee-ah-kahn".

maybe its the fumes from my pen, maybe its the radiation from the computer, maybe its the bad pineapples i ate that week. maybe, its the lack thereof of all the above, thats made me immune to changing my mind.


well, open up your minds and see like me
open up your plans, and damn you're free.
look into your heart and you'd find the love,love
love.
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me,
we're just one big family,
and its our god-forsaken right to be love,love
loved.

i've got a 10 hour tuition with my maths tutor/friend/brother's former classmate soon. of course, it'd be spread over today and tomorrow. and i'd study chem at intervals too. whee! and history of course.

OUR NAME IS OUR VIRTUE

today is thursday, tomorrow is friday,
soon will be saturday, followed by sunday.
then the o-levels will begin and while we all pray,
i'd lie on my back, eating a chocolate soufle.

that didn't make much sense, i know,
but it represents what i want to show.
right now, many people's mood is low,
but all our problems, time would blow.

although some of us feel in a trap,
don't turn negative feelings into mishap.
and as i was studying for the final lap,
i went to BTP and took a crap.

ok, i'm officially bored.

no, small boy, doom-bus, noob, i wil NOT get you your book, for the simple reason that you UTTERLY REFUSE to give me your jacket. deal or no deal?
Was it you who spoke the words,
That things would happen,
But not to me,
All things are gonna happen naturally.
Taking your advice,
And I'm looking on the bright side,
And balancing the whole thing.
But often times those words ,
Get tangled up in lines,
And the bright lights turn to night.
Until the dawn it brings,
Another day ,
To sing about the magic that was
You and me


cause you and i both loved, what you and i spoke of.

i still do.


And if you should,
Ever go away.
Oh, just remember,
The telephone,
They're workin' both ways.
And if i never ever hear them ring.
If nothing else i'd think,
The bells inside,
Have finally found you someone else,
And its,
Okay.
Cause i'll remember everything you said.

Thats how much.
please do not link me to people i'm not linked to.

infact, do not link me to anyone at all.

thank you.


i played table-tennis, or ping-pong, or as jeremy's super-cute-until-can-die kid brother calls it, "ping-pang-pong", from 7.30pm to 10.50pm with austin mainly, and at times, jeremy.

table-tennis is the new touch-rugby, which was the new squash, which was the new soccer.

today was an exhausting day man..

woke up at like, 7.30 when i was supposed to wake up at 6.45. meh. could have been much worse. went over to nate's house to practice cello. went to school at like, 9.45, and luckily, my practical was at 11.00 (haha, i didn't even know what time is was till i saw the wall). practical was okay i guess. i fumbled at parts which i should not have fumbled at. i don't know why. i wasn't abit unnerved by the 5 examiners, and yet, i still made mistakes. cello was quite fine though, i think, hope. nate says its okay. thats all that matters.

sigh. inspired by nathan, i also learnt how to play "i'm yours" on the guitar and now i'm addicted to it more than ever. sigh.. at least for once, i actually got nathan, who eventually hooked singchuen on a song.

after my practical, i was really cheesed of by the male mep teacher in my school. i only required like 5 minutes to borrow the music room key to return my cello to the school once and fall all. meh, i'm VERY SURE he had a great reason as to why he did not even bother hearing me out and just lending me the key for just five minutes instead of just casually referring back to another teacher, giving me an impossible suggestion of entering the exam room and leaving it there, and walking away. i RESPECT such a decision to give SUCH HELPFUL advice. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MAN. GREAT HELP. by the way, taking a taxi from school home with a cello cost me 6 dollars. and my taxi queue was almost cut by this two sec ones. gosh. luckily the kind taxi driver stopped for me instead. best thing was, the taxi behind my taxi saw them, wanted to pick me up, and totally by-passed the two losers. if they had gotten into the taxi meant for me, i would've stopped it, ask them to scoot, shout at them for awhile and feel better about myself. meh. but they didn't get into the taxi, so i didn't get to vent any built-up frustration.

i was so tired that i slept in the cab.. when i went home, i was even more tired, so i just put down all my stuff and took a nap on my bed. with my shoes on.

how awesome is that huh?

after that, just realised that no one was studying at KAP so i decided to go to bishan to celebrate matilda's birthday. it was retarded. really, really, just, plainly, retarded. but happy birthday to matilda though.

for some reason, did not go to jana's place as usual, but went to MOS burger to study with conrad. which turned out to be a great move as i actually did a full two hours of work. haha conrad, he didn't want to spend money on MOS, so he refused to eat, and as a result, felt "depleted" and could not concentrate. MOS cheeseburgers own. but i think the tomato is too thick.

and now i'm back here. i'll study at ten. till like, 12. i left my music file in school, so like, only gabriel has my duet now. dang. i have to go to school early early to practice with him. yaye! really no sarcarsm. i've never been so happy that he is there for me at this time. friends support friends.

on that note, SMALL BOY! cheer up! be happy! be happy that your blog is yes, concedingly more cute than most blogs around (though still a far cry from mine). things will turn out finee. "though its darker than december, whats ahead is a different colour". theres this chinese saying, SMALL BOY, men shed blood, not tears!
be strong. we're always there.

ok this has been an ULTRAMATE long post. gonna bathe, and study now. i've got a pimple on my face. which is rare and unwelcomed.
oh no. i don't know why i changed my blogskin again, crap. argh, but i'm too tired to change it back, and theres a bird on an elephant.

so i learned that people have been talking negatively behind my back. sigh. thats really sad. when i am reaching for the stars, and my spaceship had taken off, people are now trying to put a leak in my fuel tank to crash me back down to earth. whatever man. all you have done was to ignite my fire for studying even harder. thanks, friends.

on a completely different topic, i was called "small-girl" earlier today, by an NTUC aunty. and that sparked a helluva reaction from, dammit, that small-boy-dude (who i will NEVER let off if he/she continues ker-chiau-ing me first). nevermind. i got back big time. BIG TIME! haha. don't mess..
i would like to start this blog post with this statement which i think is absolutely positively true.

who needs colourful dinosaurs if one could feast their eyes on nice oval-shaped things which swivel around and grow ears and face-features once the cursor is moved above them.

who? so far, theres only one person whom i know who would rather have the stagnant, unmoving 2-D dinosaur. sad man.

paul and hong yi already posted theirs.. but heres my individual odes to everyone in class. <3

ALEXANDER PRENTICE- my gosh man. when he first arrived, imported from canada, i couldn't imagine life with him. now, i would never be able to imagine live without him and his crazy random outburst of song, comments and other hilarious whatnots.

AUSTIN FREDERICK JIERAN PEH-3 years man. 3 years with your impeccable unique sense of humour. fellow liverpudlian. always there with a smile on your face, asking me to go for cello. have fun in IB man.

NHAT MINH- dudee. what happened to us man. we were so close last year, abit too close for comfort though, but HAHA my gosh. our class would be lacking its poseurish edge without you, your bunny bag which i like to defile and your viet/singaporean girlfriends who do not know what "noob" is.

MENGZE- sorry i didn't attepmt to get to know you better, my china-friend. you really seem like a nice guy. probably abit too quiet to singaporeans though. its our loss that we do not know you well enough, my chinese friend.

SING CHUEN-haha man! can't ever forget the time that i added a girl on friendster called sing chune that turned out NOT to be you, and i thought the person on that display picture was you HAHAHAA. my gosh. i think we 2 can boast of our massive improvement from being down the gutters in AMATHS to owning the shit out of it. get it? Gutters? owning the shit out of gutters?

YONG KUN- omg yong kun, i'm actually scared you'd just jump up on me outside class and we both fall in the pond and die. you're like, the last person i wanna die with. all the angels would flock to you, leaving me with just clouds. you insane jumper, by the time you were sec 3 you could already jump over my current height. thats how sad i am, and how pro you are.

GABRIEL LEE- Glee. honestly man, wasn't happy with you at all through pockets of the year. but now, i just realise how foolish i was to let external factors compromise our friendship. the redeeming the riot keyboardist is going to VJ. so sorry man. but i bet i'm like, super un-irreplacable haha dig that man.

JEREMY GOH-soom-bor-roe, meet you at maghilchi reservoir when we could argia with each other on who is more lame yee-ehs. wiglet. haha. shai-shen. sigh. i'm gonna miss you and our crazy shit we do together like sliding across the auditorium floor in our senior's night clothings. aww.. (p.s, lydia yap still has the shoes)

JOSEPH CHUA-teck-seng. or, according to your birth certificate, teck-sheng! haha. i still remember the day your spectacle lens pierced into your eye socket. it was hell scary then, although somehow, the people around couldn't stop laughing. you fully recovered physically, but i guess a part of the specs frame is stuck on your head, inhibiting your ability to stop spewing the most retarded but cruelly funny things in the middle of any lesson.

JOSHUA TAN M.E- my man. 3 years since 2.9, nearly 2 full years since i've actually spent a whole school week WITH you in class. you seriously give me much to think about man. i've got not much to say about you now, its like, i don't really know you anymore. you'd probably never read this, but i really care man. every one of your crazy stories were absorbed by me, and i truely wish you all the best.

BRANDON KOH-dammit you washboard freakazoa, i don't know your chinese name how about that? again, at the beginning of last year, i thought that you were one to be super wary of. i was right wasn't i? your freaking retarded humour is contagious, and it screwed up my own unique brand of humour. nevermind man. you still need a face transplant to match your, i must admit, nice body. haha. JOKING (about the body that is HAHA.) no seriously. work hard man. WOW will still be there when the Os are over.

E-JIN-honestly man, you are the one person whom i actually would feel incline to have a rivalry with. your wit and confidence has somewhat diffused into me, and i'd never be the same wihtout you man. MY gosh, you will own. we will all own. led zepplin owns, but broaden your musical horizon man. not all songs which involves loud talking or simple repetitive progressions are lame, afterall, you do like "aferglow" don't you? haha

GENE- if ever there was a more mistaken soul.... i'm sure you hate us all for being so mean and rude and just plain bad to you, but i still must say, you seem pretty decent as a guy, just, don't try to hard. if people have a common interest with you, don't just spam discussions all within the same hour, spread out your talk and you'd have loads to say. honestly, it be great for you if you could go to a new environment and make new friends. sorry we made you feel so bad.. i personally have to apologise for some of the shit i did.

MAK HESSON- oh boy, you are one quiet dude aren't cha? really, i don't know you personally, but your cool gothic aura is just purely unique.just don't touch mascara and fingernail paints and you'll just be as cool as ever.

CONRAD-my man, life would be retarded without you. your muscular body has given many people some thing to work for. in a couple of decades, maybe my body would give yours a run for its money haha. ok, cut the crap now, man, i've known you since primary school and we're so close. its really hard to see you not in my school, giving weirdos the "stare".

NATHAN-you and i can't ever seem to grow up can't wii? haha. lay off the DS man. radiation kills sperms AND brain cells. you got insane guitar skills. put them to use and appeal into VJ via guitar for the first 3 weeks man..i'd hate to be not near you back pinching fingers.

CUONG-sorry for all the times i called you choo-ong.. and sorry for all the times i told the teachers to call you choo-ong.. you're one cool vietnamese dude man. your english vocabulary might be limited, but your vietnamese sure is colourful as hell.oh, and sleeping with your head in your bag might lead to suffocation.

QUAN- dude.. wake up hahaha. you ALWAYS seem to be tired and/or sleeping. haha. this guy sounds like a philipino maid. sings like one too! always fun to be around! i personally enjoy his company most when he is sleeping! omg, last year me and brandon just destroyed his and nhat minh's spirits by tormenting them with physical and mental abuse haha! sorry guysies..

NICHOLAS NG-shizzle your dizzle man. you are quater black, and yet, you have size 7 feet. thats a complete paradox man. dude, you know where my loyalties lie.i'm really gonna miss you big man. you're the life of the party. your physics is really awesomee. i mean, 46 without studying at all? you make my big mistake seem non-existent. the thought of you leaving for canada in the future really makes me depressed man.

ARHTA-oh gosh. i just realised i don't know you well at all. always cool, i was shorter than him start of last year, and now, i'm taller MUAHAHAHA! always smiling, nothing seems to get him down, except for nhat minh winning him in a subject. i smell a rivalry.

PAUL OOI-my gosh. h-wat man. you're seriously, cool as a cucumber, and hot as a hummingbird.will miss the total retarded super suan-ning tone and comments you seem to pull off at the most appropriate of times man.. your honest self would get you very far. rock on your guitar man!!! or should i say, machine? haha joking!

STEPHAN-Great chairman, too bad he supports the blue coloured ruiners of soccer. haha. man stephan. our class would be in complete disarray if not for your brilliant navigations man.. see you in VJ i hope haha.

Guangda-i don't remember actually talking to you about anything other than school work, but you egghead, you are the elite of the earth, and i'm sure that if you really start a restaurant, every little detail about it would be perfect, and many applications of physics would be in the meals. also, theres not a doubt that any food shop in your care would grow to be the most sucessful thing on earth haha.

Sun Hao- hey tall guy, you're really shy it seems, sorry for the small stuff like hitting the ball at you by accident, or missing ejin with my flying objects and hitting you instead.. sigh.. another smart ass.. you and general su would really make great leaders of china man..(go capitalism though)

JOSHUA TAN H.Y-insane fellow. 4 furikin' years man. you're like a brother to me. and we both support the same club. and we both are in MEP. my gosh. i'm really sorry i'm backing out of IB..but you'll make it big anywhere as long as there are girls whattt...sigh.. will miss your painted nails and unforgettable laughter..

SAMUEL TAN-tall freak, you mighty weirdo, i love you loads man. see you in VJ next year. i forsee myself crashing your house very frequently.. VJ is gonna be rocked by us i reckon. go for ART and TSD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, and i still think that the girl i though was cute was prettier than the girl that you thought was cute HAHAHAHA. total whacko.

MARCUS TAY-oh gosh.. in sec 2 i remember having on-off relationships with you. in sec 3, i was a total git and forgot about you.. but now... we're like, inseparable.. okay maybe not, but theres this mutual respect that we have that i really really really appreciate and find awesomee. as for AY, just let your personality shine through. if you're the sick fellow who likes making suggestive comments, i'm sure theres someone out there who appreciates such crude, but massively insanely funny hunour.

XUAN NAM-prince of darkness. thats what he looks like haha. he has this cool vampiric look that could be quite alarming at times, but cum the mid of this year, he opened up, and now he is just, cool.

DUC MINH-probably the quietest of scholars, insanerquariumly smart and has this also very drowzy air around him. okay. i really have nothing to say about him haha. but with a bit more confidence in speech, he will go far. no doubt.

WUSHENG-ahhh.. one of the 4 chinese scholars who sadly were, bullied by lil ol' me during sec 3 oep... always smiling, this cool dude is unfazed by everything. his pleasant dispositionis just unheard off as he grows from strength to strength from an average student to an awesomee all-rounded friend now.

XIAOXIAO-could be quite a pesky fellow, not really knowing when to stop disturbing somebody, but stay strong friend, TST has NOTHING over you. absolutely nothing. you will make it far. we all will. dunno where you'd go next year, but i absolutely wish you my best wishes.

ZHANGREN-HAHAHA see you in VJ you retarded MAN U fan!! your chinese is excellent, and your english is like my physics. non-existent haha. the only english words i've heard you say are like, soccer player names haha! see ya for the next 2 years!

ZHUJIANYU-HAHA. will never forget the day you called banerjee "desirable" really man. priceless. probably one of the quotes of the 2 years. thanks for always being there to offer a nice smile when i was tired or down. really sorry i was so terrible to you for that 1 month period or so.. you're really one of the nicer people in the class.. and i regret not spending more time with you and your clique..


sigh....

<3 4.4 ezra....

i'll seriously cry if i go on. my lips are really quivering.

i didn't know i was so emotional.
what a week.

monday- FAREWELL CHAPEL. Ms Lydia T-oops-Yap, confiscated my "super-cute-until-can-die" handphone holder. she also confiscated jeremy's one. well, it was a pair of baby shoes to start with.

tuesday- DON'T-KNOW-WHO arranged to meet at cineleisure at 2.30, and i also DON'T-KNOW-WHO were still at J8 EATING at 2.45. WHO AH? psycho-ed the latecomers to go to vivo after shopping for some presents. haha. i re-met the river-island retail assistant and we exchanged formalities, and he offered to help us get discounts. oh dear, i love river island. and the best thing is, the price of that short sleeve beach shirt is dropping rather exponentially. had the best MSN conversation i ever had in my life EVER later that night. i learnt that love is the reciprocate of requitted "like". and i have the answer to the question.

wednesday-nothing memorable happened. so, i shall just crap abit. i think on wednesday, i, OH YAH! i went to KAP, and i swear, i was really stunned.

thursday- nate! i love you , mann!! you really owned my cello teacher. together, i think we almost made her either laugh so hard, or cry.

friday (today)- Jana's birthday.in the morn, met nick at KAP, had the big breakfast, and was forced to stay awake in the bus to school.i love my present to her. omg. i really loved the synchronisation of everybody when jana was halfway through the bogey "black-tape-wrapped-as-a-present-but-was-actually-just-black-tape" present. at the end of it, i exclaimed that the present was flour, and we, as a group threw MORE flour at her. i went for my piano lesson through town dirtified with flour. after that, went to jana's place for a party, and more importantly, free pizza. my gosh. i only ate 3 slices. whats wrong with me. (p.s, nick, shut up. :D)

saturday- t.b.c.

this is, definitely, a high point in my life. thanks, god.

nathan, and seemingly singchuen, are influenced by the jason mraz song i introduced to nathan. sigh.

open up your heart, and you'd find, love, love, love.
play that funkaye musick white boy..


damn i'd miss this school. Our CT called me a LIBERAL when she saw this. hmm..
