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.

oh dear.

the case study thingy has turned out to be a real, uhm, yeah.

anyway, i've resolved to only write cases upon request!

yay me! i'm officially a democrat.

about today, i woke up early, caught the first bus possible, and was still 30 seconds late. sigh. as in, i stepped into the meeting area just as the president announced time to report strenght. what a bad example i am setting as provisional house i/c. sigh. also, i can't seem to dye my hair back black. everytime i do, it'd just fade back to its prior colour. sigh.

my speech went off rather well i guess. was really nervous when i was introducing my name, but i guess, my nerves were quelled once i started reading my "cute" speech. oh well. its not in my hands now.



okay. today's case. Deborah.

super, super, super, funny. very prone to bursting out into random sporadic spurts of laughter. like, when mr. wong asked if his font was causing a stir during lecture. -.-

also, Deborah likes doing chinese! especially chinese "idiom" worksheets! yay her!

bwahaha. i think she is one of the tallest girls in class? am i right about that?

well, her occasional blurness, along with her unique "catchphrases" and totally random-to-the-max hand gestures makes her a very fun person to sit next to in lectures and classes if you want to make fun and laugh at teachers and other random strange students! which of course, is a great hobby of mine! mann, i should start a "souring" cca. a "suanning" cca.

don't try. thats Deborah for you.

so totally awesome.

I'm sugar,
and spice,
and a cupcake,
and a unicorn,
and one of the colours of the rainbow,
and Liverpool,
and, you.

vote for us, be our chemical "x",
we will serve you, to the max.

Yayeah!
Okay, blogger.

How art thou.

Okay. Case study.. case study..

Sarah Leong!

I do not have pictures of this girl solo, but she's there in the photo in my earliest post.

Of many nicknames, including that of duckie, leong-leong, and most recently, gee-gee, sarah leong is an enigmatic figure of mystery.

With her rather raspy voice, she will bamboozle you with her widespread use of the word "sh*t".

Small, "dainty" (as said by Sarah Yip), and bubbly, she is able to input humour (intentionally or unintentionally) into almost any situation possible.

Though recently, she has been spotted with her tribe of Oh-Gee-Els, she has largely been an ever-present figure in class activities, and her sky-blue uniform paired with her huge array of ear-rings lights up even the darkest of corners.


Eh, ownage. Vee-Jay-See just upped its own notch.
Chins up, chest in.

The bubble's burst.

I'm so, so tired right now. Council nominee stuff is so tiring. Especially compiling numerous numbers and addresses after coming home from Swirl.

Gah. I'm supposed to make case studies. Shizz man. I'm soo tired. Tomorrow, I'd post one on like, aiyah. I need to get photos. Apart from myself, I only have pictures of Sarah Leong and Deborah, who were actually together. So yeah. Maybe I'd do a case study of em' both together, frolicking in their own filth on the swings.

Gah.

G'nite. My speeches have become incoherent and well, I've lost my train of thought more than once in the past hour. My body's crying out, SLEEP YOU ASSHOLE!

I shall comply.
Well, well, well. All good things must come to an end, supposedly to make way for better things. Well, zero eight eh one two, has been, and will always be one of the best things that will and could ever happen to lil' me.

A picture says a thousand words, therefore, this post is several thousand words long!



More than half of the class. Awww.. We're all so.. united. As if we were all products of United Square.



Leon and Jerald! Scandalous! Emerging from the sheets.



Awwww... the guy whose face is covered up is Aloy I think.



Sarah Leong, Sarah Yip, Leon Yip. See how our names are all related somehow? Like Leon, sounding exactly like "Leong" and the similiarities of the surnames.

eh one two, lets make last forever.


It seems a highly debatable topic resonating around our class, as egos and self-praise surfaces out of the depths.

Here is a case study, of a type of people called, Pottie.



Along with this picture, as it was transmitted through the beautiful MSN application, came this question. "Do I not look cute in this picture?" I did not exactly know how to reply to that, but as it was a very funny question, i decided to announce my plans of blogging about. Then came the request to portray our case of study as a Cool, Cute, Princessie person.

Which is true to a somewhat subjective extent. I, being completely neutral, am just going to keep silent.



I still say that this picture resembles that of some little kiddy boy boy wearing lipstick. If that is not a compliment, what is? Equipped with her princess-cloak of daffodils, she strives to squeeze in lollipops and fluffy bunnies into our everyday lives.

Ultimately, what makes this person, Sarah Yip something-something, a Princess of La-la land, is the fact that she is cool, composed, totally random, cutesy in a lets-sprinkle-fairy-dust-to-make-the-air-all-sparkly way, and without her and her random outbursts of giggles, life in Zero Eight Eh One Two wouldn't be so gay. Literally and Figuratively.

So marks a segment of my blog. Its pretty cool. I just formulated an idea to right a case study of classmates! 18 more to go, about 20+ days left to do research. Like, totally awesome.
What my brother, parents, and Marcus Tay said is true.

I admit to being overconfident. However, I don't think that I slacked off that much to justify the 8 point difference from my Prelims. Getting 6 points for my Prelims really lifted the pressure off my back, and therefore, I was able to concentrate on getting mentally prepared for the real examinations.

I don't know how I feel. I can't say that I feel that I screwed up, because, I came out of the examination halls feeling as satisfied, or more satisfied as I had been compared to the Prelims. Things happen I guess.

If there was one point of time that I did really feel overconfident though, it was the week before the O level results came out. I truly felt that I had done at least enough to maintain my place in the institue which I am in. I guess I didn't.

Though, I am somewhat surprised at something after the attainment of the results.

True, it is a shock that many people underperformed in English, but a two grade drop however, should not evoke more anger over a four grade drop. Dropping from an A1 to a B3 in English is something to be upset about, but then again, how about dropping from an A1 to a C5? How intriguing. Also, the presumption that a biased lone viewpoint of the "victim" cannot be used to represent the thoughts and feelings of "everybody". Well then, I guess that the difference in my Prelim results and O level results are completely justified while the only one person worthy of grieving has to be consoled with his drop from A1 to B3, which is obviously, what everybody had not expected.

What goes around, comes back around. I was overly complacent after scoring six points for the Prelims. And though I'd still maintain that I was trying to be discreet of that "accomplishment", I was slightly aloof. I got my just desserts. A C5 in english and an addition of 8 points to my Prelim L1R5. Now I'm stranded, with no where to go. I slacked off, and did what I thought was adequate. I would like to think that I was "unlucky", and this was a "freak accident", but I don't want to make excuses. Though I believe that the Prelims prove that I could have and should have done better in the O levels.

This post is going to make people hate me. Its okay. That post would make people hate others.


Moving on,

thank goodness it was dark in the night, where they could not see my tears.

*smiley*
I guess sometimes, confidence isn't key.

/edit

Confidence, which turned to shock, which transformed into bewilderment is morphing into resolution, before taking the turn towards depression/elation.


I feel hard done by.

Zero eight eh one two, vee jay see, good-bye. T'was fun while it lasted.


/edit


the true meaning of life is found in periods of adversity.


"stay together for the children"
*Talk to you every now and then,
Never felt so alone again*

I don't know why. Theres laughter, theres fun, theres company, theres everything! But theres still emptiness.

Its been over two months, and i know that i'm a loser for still moping over this shit, but i can't help it. i can't furikin' help it. i know that this attitude isn't going to help my cause at all, but i really can't help it. i can't believe that something which i really believed in just smacked me in the face like that.

i know some people would tell me not to be stupid and get over with life. it is hard, please understand. well, none of you truly knows how it feels i think. to be so close, yet, everything so cruelly derailed from me.

i can't take this. i need an outlet. screw this shit.

go debate team! haha, and doesn't sarah yip look like a lil boy wearing my hoodie? hahahaha.

Like totally, for sure, I even done my manicure.
The sun, I swear, is bleaching up my hair.
Red, blue, yellow, green, whats the colour of my team,
I don't know, I don't care,
How should i do my hair.
Go go, Fight fight, gee i know i look alright,
like, go, like, go, like, go team, go, yeah!


*screaming* there will be a way. *screaming* a way inside, er' heart.
I'm trying, to forget that,
I'm addicted to you.

But I want it,
I need it,

I'm addicted to you.

Now its over,
Can't forget what you said.

And I never,
want to do this again.

Heart-breaker.

I guess filling in the void doesn't work.
Woah.

Just got home like, ten entire minutes ago. Been hanging out alot these days. With one of the best companies in the world of course. Yay.

Makes me wonder.

Note to people-

Nathan : Update your furikin' blog.
Conrad : Update your furikin' blog.
Nick : Update your furikin' blog.
Steph : Update your furikin' blog.
Jana : Update your furikin' blog.
Gabriel : Update your furikin' blog.

Basically everybody I know, please update your furikin' blogs.

Now.. Tag replies. (Ooooh this should be fun)

Sarah Cheong - I kinda thought that you actually would have known my uniform, so I was really super surprised, borderlining shock when you asked me what school I was from. Yes, I must imagine that it was embarrassing for you. Lastly, I think I love myself more than you love yourself.

Ses - Haha Hello! I haven't been to either of their blogs yet. Will check out soon!

Paul - NJC! Nationalists Woo! *after-cheer*


-------------------------

I got me thinking on the journey home, it scares me, and it scares me like shit.

Shit scares me, so yeah. It pretty much scares the hell out of me. Which is pretty scary that something scares the hell out of me because hell is really scary and stuff, so yeah. Its pretty damn scary.

Can you imagine me in council? Not after the above paragraph I can't.

************************
today was rather exhausting.

i haven't signed up for any tee-ass-dee thingos yet. oh the pleasure of pressure.

i took my I/C photo today. at least i think its a half-decent picture of me. i'm not very photogenic as many people know.. quite prone to super "un-glam" shots.

bah.

BAH!

Student Council is like, Super Cool!
Oh dear. I require some assistance for my Microsoft Outlook. I am so screwed, along with my brother, several other people are chasing me for replies and answers and negotiations. I hope I don't screw up the money-making opportunities for all of us..

Anyway, school has, contrary to my narrow-minded initial prediction, has not been a drag. In fact, it has been the total opposite. I actually look forward to going to school now, junior college just has that something which ACS(I) didn't really provide. Hmmm..

I feel that our class, zero eight eh one two, is indeed the most well bonded class in the level. Seriously. Stuff like, class meals and class games have been a commodity already, and the class charter. Seriously man. Pretty awesome. I'd be devastated beyond belief if I don't re-qualify for victoria.

I got into debate! Yay me. Of course, it means that I have to work even harder now, as my year, as I heard, is full of powder-ful debaters. which of course, doesn't really bode well for my chances. However, I will persever, and that perserverance will pay off somehow I hope. I'm also running for student council. How cool am I?

Not very, not damn, but , Furikin' cool. On the coolio-meter, about 11 / 10.

I love myself.
it wasn't really a you-said-something-i-didn't-like-so-i-shout-to-show-my-anger kinda thing, it was probably more along the lines of i've-heard-you-trying-to-get-me-to-change-my-own-decision-at-least-5-times-a-week-so-when-you-insensitively-once-again-super-randomly-compare-my-choice-and-your-prefered-choice-and-try-to-get-me-to-change-my-mind-although-i-furikin'-hell-reminded-you-at-least-50-times-that-i'm-happy-so-please-let-me-be-and-stop-comparing-and-questioning-my-judgement-just-for-this-once-please type of outburst.

The only even that I'd go to ACS (IB) is if I don't re-qualify for Victoria after the JAE, which makes it even more scary, cause if I have to go to IB, he'd be right. And while I don't want him not to be right, I want even more, for myself to be right. As long as there is something left.


No offense to ACS (I). I love that school, but, ACS (IB) is not ACS (I).

Its a great school, but probably the wrong programme for me.

Hey now,

peace.
Went for the "party" yesterday night, had quite abit of fun! Go me! Played "Concentration", "Indian Poker" and other random games. Also played "bridge" in which I was unable to win a single set due to SOMEBODY'S retarded biddings. I mean, 4 Clubs? I had two Club cards, and Gabriel called me out as his partner - Furikin'.

I feel that there was a little bit of tension there, which is unexplainable, and somewhat retarded as there is totally nothing going on there. But thats only me over-reading the situation as usual.

Zero Eight Eh One Two is pretty much the most awesome class within Victoria Junior College's Year one cohort. It'd seriously be very disheartening and demoralising and altogether, different should anybody be edged out of the school/class due to O-level results. I of course, am particularly afraid that my grades aren't up to my preliminary examination's level. And that is very possible to happen, as I myself, along with some other people emphasised that my prelim results were a "freak-accident". I'd like to euphemise it as being "lucky".

Oh and Four point Four two thousand seven, I haven't forgotten any of you. Not one bit. Never had, never will. In fact, I've made so many attempts to keep in touch and keep meeting up with you guys! Skeptical? Remember when I cabbed all the way from furikin' Marine Parade to King Albert Park? Or how we met up at Swirl. Most recently yesterday, when Paul and I initiated lunch? Love you guys. Thanks for coming down yesterday to those who did. If anyone mentions that I've let the new override the old, I'll stuff Gene up his asshole.

Four Point Four Two Thousand Seven, Less Than Three.


Hello Leon, please slow down, you're going too fast for me, which is also you actually, but yeah Leon, you get the point. Lower the gear a notch. Feel the breeze, admire the trees, let all things cease.
a fallen star,
a get-away car.
line in the sand when go too far.

The perfect thing to say.

Today, marks a sad occasion for me.

The exchange of the old for the new. Inevitable no longer how much I delayed it, sad as hell.

My new class is seriously. Seriously, like, we had, oops, teehee, HAVE, so much crap to talk about.

Awesomee.

Maybe the timing is beating our hearts.
Did I update yesterday?

I forgot. Haha, anyway, like, heres another update. Yay me. Finding time to update amidst a pretty slack schedule. Talking about slack, in ACS, I lived for "Week B Thursdays" for the physics practical free period. Now, I live for wednesdays. I'm free from 8.00AM till like, 9.15AM, and again from like, a later time, for about another hour or so. Thus, at least till I have PW, I'd be able to leave school at like, 12.30PM. Which is totally awesome don't you guys agree? Yeps.

My class is cool. I can't really delve into more elaborations as I don't really know people that well yet, but "cool" seems to be the best-fitting word to describe them.

Bah, I've got P.E. tomorrow, first period. That means, I'd have to eat a breakfast. I think. I hope not. I don't really like eating breakfastses. Haha. is there such a word? Darn.

Oh man.

Met up with some of the guys at KAP just now, the taxi fare is crazy-insane. What was discussed in GP today really leapt to my mind. Wow. First applications of junior college knowledge. Though it wasn't as drastic as "honesty being marginalised by materialism" or as thought provoking as "whether or not paedophiles should have boards at their houses pointing them out", it did give my brain a pretty good workout.

Thus explains my headache I guess.


You're in the jungle baby, you're gonna diee.
I'm slowly beginning to lose my sense of identity. Today, in assembly, an SCGS girl actually asked me what school I was from. Hmmm, i found this particularly weird especially after hearing that ACS and SCGS were supposed to be close to each other? Perhaps it was due to the fact that I wasn't wearing the ACS tie. Don't get me wrong, I love the tie, but my new position in my new school leaves me obliged to take on a social awareness, thus the tie has to be left out. Sigh.

I'm in the middle. 4 days of orientation and boundless potential of fun isn't even near enough to outmuscle 10 years of loyalty and affection for the name "ACS". I miss my classmates badly. I'm rather desperate to meet up again. After losing Austin to Sc(r)otland, I've missed all my classmates even more. Hang in there Austin, Liverpool will win this season, no doubt about that.

Well than, time to fall asleep slowly, and prepare to enter the abyss tomorrow.

Help. Please.

Seriously.

the best cheer, like eva, "We're number one, we're number one, we're number one, peace!"
I must say, I've no regret at all.

I've changed my subject combination. Literature, History, Maths, and TSD. Since I'm going to get an education there, might else well make it a great fun time right? And I'm pretty sure economics is a very boring subject. Also, after consulting various people, Economics isn't all that essential to my future cause. Or at least, I think..

So while wet games enticed me, I was unable to attend the ACS(IB) orientation as pre-planned. However, again, thanks to various people, I was able to leave earlier to make my way towards ACS(I), and I totally made the wrong bus choice, and ended up taking a 1 hour 20 minute bus ride. When I was turning in from the AYE towards Fairfield, I had just woken up from the tedious journey, and I could really feel my heart buzzing. I was that excited to see my friends again. Note, I did not use the term "old friends", for the simple reason that they are, and will be, my friends forever. Yay them.

The orientation was okay I guess, saw many familiar guy faces, and a couple of familiar female ones, including Steph, Haha, trying to blend in inconspicuously with the crowd, but failing totally miserably.

The dinner was kinda lame, mainly because Nick, Paul and I were constantly being chased out of the hall. Though we did catch up with teachers. One thing that I would hold dear forever, is how the teachers of ACS, regardless of what an asshole I was to them, would look at me and greet me as an old friend. I particularly enjoyed meeting with Mog, and Mr. Brian Ng. I will come back on Founder's day and Teacher's day for sure to re-unite with the family.

It was only at the end of the dinner where the three of us officially entered the hall, joining the other "crashers", Jeremy, Gabriel, Austin and others whom I do not remember. When the tables were clear, Remy and I started sliding down the hall floor. Probably the last time I ever would do that in ACS(I). Fond memories.

KAP next, we just basically exchanged stories through the journey and meal, I had not much to share, my orientation, while being very interesting and really captivating, wasn't exactly the most eventful one yet. I say "yet", because theres the beach thing on monday, which in turn, the AC people will crash I think, hope.

On the journey back, I was so tired, I fell asleep in "61", overshot my stop by about twenty bus stops. Luckily I was still around the area, so I managed to get home soon enough. By the way, We left KAP at 9.45pm, and I reached home at 11.15pm, HAHA.

So I changed class within 2 hours of learning of my original class, the reason was due to a change in subject combination (and in turn the reason for this is as stated above). My original class really consists of some great people, but I really believe that I would have had a hard time fitting in there. As for the new class, I think they are more outgoing? Well, fingers crossed guys. Will update you guys soon.

Tis' been a long post, would like to end by saying goodbye to Austin. Thanks for everything man. You've been a great classmate, always making everybody laugh and jovial. We're really going to miss you, my fellow Liverpool supporter, just remember this - You'll Never Walk Alone.

Nil Sine Labore,
The Best Is Yet To Be.

Some people love the family, I love the brothers.
Oh, the weather outside if frightful...

actually, the weather outside is kinda perfect. VJC has the nicest weather ever.
So once again, new year has arrived. I must arrantly admit, that I am extremely reluctant to shrug off the remnants of the year 2007 and step into the alluring yet deceptively devious shoes of 2008.

To be able to proceed smoothly into the future, I must delve into the ghosts of the past, and self-arraign for the arpeggio of choices which had formed a chord not quite minor, not quite major. A la what I had said in one of my previous posts, 2007 had developed into a B-minor chord for me. Should a major chord proceed it, it would sound like a triump, should a minor chord however, proceed it, it would be full of melancholy. Its all up to me to decide.

As of 14 hours from now, I would have to wake up with the same drear as four years ago. The drear of entering a new environment, a new culture. However, as opposed to four years ago, where the bridge from ACS(J) to ACS(I) was a short and stable one, the bridge from ACS(I) to VJC, for how ever long a time, would be, I predict, a long, unstable one.

Enough about new beginnings, how about old ends?

I've learnt, that there would be no ending if there wasn't a start. And there wouldn't be a start if there wasn't a beginning.

When God created the Earth, the darkness was termed, if I do not recall wrongly, as "in the beginning". After the six days of creation and one day of rest, did the world actually start. Of course, this is only my small opinion, and I hope it doesn't spark a furore of sorts from biblical scholars.

Beginning, start, end.

No beginning = No start = No end.

The holidays to me, were the "beginning" of our post secondary education. Tomorrow is the start. December 2009 would be the end, and instead of saying "good riddance", may we all look back and proclaim "I wouldn't trade the memories for anything in the whole world".

Friends,my dearest friends. My true friends. I'd never forget anyone of you. That, I swear. Storming into secondary three, a year of rebellion and tribulations, it often seemed that there were only ups, no downs. Or at least, I'd like to remember it that way. You guys fucking own. Nuff' said.

Going into secondary four, our hormones fully charged and just waiting to explode, the daily testosterone overload had seen us become an impulsive, restless, and rather rowdy group of people who thrives on the slip-ups of teachers. We may be "bastards", but we're all family.

To all I know, all the best. I say that with the fullest sincerity. A new chapter of our lives begin, but don't you dare overwrite the former chapter.

Let me echo what I said at the countdown yesterday.

-Guys, although we would no doubt drift, we will pull ourselves together again. With the bonds that hold us togethr stronger than glue, Two Thousand and Eight will be the Fucking best year in our lives.-


P.S - Merry Christmas too everybody.
