I'm not blogging now to show off because I feel this dying urge which calls out from the depth of my brain, incessantly bugging me to put up a post on my modest life.
I'm not blogging to share with the world of cyberspace my extremely eventful week thus far which included an episode which saw some of us TSDians give assistance in adverting a genuine suicde attempt.
I'm not blogging to share the stress which I am undergoing as I am reminded time and again that in about ninety-six hours, our senior's futures, are in our hands and because they have been some of the best damn company I've ever had, I don't want to screw it up but I just feel that propensity to screw up when it matters kicking in.
I'm not blogging to show off my vocabulary which is waning and dwindling due to the lack of time to get in touch with the wonderful language of the English.
I'm not blogging because my previous line just reminded me of the ugly C5 on my "O" Level score sheet which I am still fucking sore about.
I'm not blogging because the periphery of my life's essence is finally cracking to reveal the glory of a seismical force which completely upheaved my life.
No, in fact, the reason why I am blogging now is simpler. Far more simple than any of the above possible reasons as to why I might be blogging. (Tsd is getting to my head by the way, I had to replace my error of typing the word "blogging" with "slotting" no less than 3 times so far.)
I'm blogging because I should be doing other stuff, but I'm just too fucking lazy to get down to doing some real useful shit.
For example, I'm still not bathed after arriving home from playing soccer in school. This praise-worthy act is the reason why I'm blogging. I also don't know why the fuck I'm lying on my bed in this state.
Obviously, I'm not in the best moods now. Or maybe I'm just influenced by that weird guy at the ECP food centre who scared the shit our of Aloy, Jeremy, and I just now.
Okay.

I told you! Marcus Tay! I was right! I love it when I'm correct about this stuff.
Shit, I'm wayy cool.
Mark Haddon is the best abstract book writer of this time. Well, I'm not sure if his books are abstract or not, but to me, they're just deep, indirectly subtle and very very provacative. To me, thats abstract.
TSD has been real fun the past couple of weeks, as the two impending weeks weighs itself upon our shoulders, it would be the time where we bond most as a batch, and learn most from our delightfully talented/entertaining/brilliant seniors. Though sometimes, just at pockets of times, very rarely (I must say), we learn rather, what NOT to do.
Floating on the clouds. The ninth one.

Wow,
I miss one class reunion, and wow. I'm in no position to say anything, cause I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to know what I do. But damn, it really upsets me to witness something which was built up so swiftly and gracefully get torn down so abruptly and devastatingly. Its just hard to look at things the same way now, my perception of things has been shaped, no doubt.
Stay strong, and may I quote a Jason Mraz lyric - "if you're shocked, its just the fault of faulty manufacturing".
We're all there for each other.
Well, things happen. Just live for whats coming.
Haha, the wedding on saturday just really opened up the unwanted questioning of "what-if". I guess that through witnessing someone so akwardly related to me finally confirm her happiness through matrimony, I've learnt that nothing is fully controllable by our own powers, God is pulling the strings,but what we can do though, is to accept everything, and its all-encompassing reasoning that it is for the better, and just live to love everything that comes our way.
I'm just in a really pensive mood right now, just thinking on nothing and everything. Its kinda weird how even though I have a trajillion things which I absolutely have to complete, I always find scouring my brain (which exists by the way) for the little answers to my undying questions on top of my priority list. Paradoxical as it may sound, more often than not, I find all my questions answered, yet I never cease to remain clueless about life and its relation with lil' me. This gargantuan world would never be big enough for any one of its puny inhabitants, yet we all find sufficient space to share and care together.
Sigh, its all just a big blur right now, the only things which are clear are that which hits me straight in my eye. Its funny isn't it, how just merely 2 years ago, we were all, or at least, most, rather, some of us were so ignorant and oblivious of the "world out there", we thought nothing about growing up. Now, two years down, though we've all been through thick and thin, faced many problems, overcame many obstacles, be it personal or as a band of brothers, we no doubt feel more "wise", but yet, "grown up" seems never to be the word which would leap up when we examine our present state of mind.
I guess being almost seventeen has brought about its fair share of anxieties, my heart wants to just jump into anything comes my way, but my brain just screams "not ready yet". I listen to my heart most of the times, and so far, it has never brought me down any wrong path. I'm walking this road with my mouth wide open as I'm awestruck by the sights and sounds. Damn, five years down the road, I'm going to re-open my blog, and just laugh at how immature and idealistic I sounded when I was seventeen, just as I chuckle whenever I flip through my hopeless archives. (which I'm gonna do now, I think)
This has been one of the more thought-ful posts I've posted in a long long while. Hopefully, it gets through to myself as I sadly and loserishly open my weblog browser and hope childishly that someone has tagged my tagboard. (hint hint)
A dream never felt so real before, when the waves rise to cleanse the shore. I'd be there, forever more.

See the stone set in your eyes, see the thorn set in your side. And, I'll wait, for you.
Sleight of hand, and twist of fate, On a bed of nails, she made me wait. And, I'll wait, without you.
With or without you.
With.
Gosh.
11 year old Korean kids totally make me cry.
Really tired right now, not sure why. I've more-or-less recovered from my bout of sickness.
I really should open my "Great Expectations" book soon, or novel rather. There is a plethora of literary goodness in there, apparently. But the paucity of inspiration in my head has incapitated my ability to study, so right now, there is a dearth of ideas. For Wilfred Owens, its a total different matter in all. Not helping is the fact that the mentor has obstinated his views on the topic, thus narrowing the scope, and making the subject matter intractable. Frustratingly, this is cramping much of the creative-thought-process I have, as I am reminded that he tries to impose his far-fetched, yet valid points upon us.
Sigh.
My logic is impaired by my feelings. I'll just let the wind carry me to wherever.

The world should stop now, really.
Everything is so great right now. I literally hear birds chirping when the sun shines, and cliche as it may be, I really do see rainbows after a downpour. Maybe if I maintain the continued mindset of thinking positively and just being spontaneous, I might yet seek out the riches which the world has obscured with the deathingly negative outlook that majority of the demographic seems to undertake.
Yay me.

Two posts in a single day.
Damn, I'm bored.
Was flipping through my "Facebook" pictures of myself, and I found the picture below.
Damn, I miss my old hair, where you could really see the mohawk without the use of wax.
Boo. I want it back. I looked like a Rockstar back then. Now, I'm just like, Ah-beng-ish. Apparently. :( <-- Oh dear, a "frowney", I'm turning gay it seems.
Anywhoos, tah-dah!

Shit, the first time I fall sick in a few months, and it must be in the furikin' holidays. Brilliant, Leon, just brilliant. Now what.
My freaking nose, for those who'd known me for quite awhile, would probably know that I have a naturally runny nose, which is currently leaking like a furikin' tap. It is, bloody irritating, the thought of having to run to the toilet every 15 minutes or so just to clear out stuff. Dammit. Damn, damn, damn, damn, dammit.
Oh, and yesterday, during the useless, time-wasting, absolutely hell-ish briefing, my cough just suddenly detoriated massively. Perhaps I shouldn't have eaten the ice-cream or drank the cold fruit juices. Meh. When I fell asleep at home, during night time, it didn't help that my cough was paired by a diabolically brain-wrecking nightmare which I absolutely abhor, and to make matters worst, I distinctly remember still harbouring the cough in my dream. How fantastic is that? My mind and my body working together to torment the live outta me.
Consequence, I woke up feeling all woozy and wheezy and coughy. Sigh. In a matter or moments, I'd go down to my dad store and eat some nice, steaming porridge. Forget about trying to cook the steak which I had bought with such high anticipation. I don't think my taste buds work now anyways. After finally collecting my allowance, I'd have to blow a good portion of it to consult a doctor. Finally. I was supposed to see one of em' regarding my abyssmal cough several days ago, but laziness just procrastinated the long overdue visit I guess.
On a lighter note, Richie got his hair cut! Yay! Eldest brother Shawn and his girlfriend finally took that lil' white bugger down to have his white fur snipped. He looks like a lil' lamb now! Soooooooooooo cuteeeeeee!
If I had a proper phone with a proper useable camera, I would take some pictures. Nevermind. August approaches at a deceptively accelerated rate.
Also, on my way to Bishan yesterday morning, I came across this kind-hearted man in the bus, whom upon hearing me coughing incessantly, offered me one of those chinese gummy sweets which has the same effect as "Vicks". While it only worked for the short term, and maybe even was the cause of the eventual aggravation of my cough, I was really touched that a random stranger in the bus would be loving enough to a fellow stranger to care about such things. Maybe though, he was just doing so to shut me up, but really. That is testament that, Singapore has heart.
Go Singapore Kindness Movement! Haha, which reminds me, I popped by Ngee Ann City to check out the Cheerleading thingo, and I was actually quite disappointed. However, the Knights were ownage in almost every way haha! Go school! But really, I feel the standard was really wayy lower than what I saw last year. Anywhooos.....
Okay, this has been an abnormally longg post from me. Lays claim to the evidence of how bored I am, being cooped up at home. Waiting.
Oh gosh, I really miss you haha. How "unexpected".
