So today is vesak day...... I didn't know that my family actually 'celebrates' it, not sure it is counted as celebration cos all we did was to go to the thai temple in bedok to pay respects to the Buddha..... I really did not feel like going as it goes against my principles of neutrality of religions, but on second thought, I think it would be interesting to visit a thai temple. Quite a good choice i think, learnt a bit there.....

There was this statue in a glass panel and candles lit around it. The four-faced Buddha:


The artwork is magnificent......

According to my pops, the four-faced Buddha is the most protective Buddha and will look after you, thus the four faces. Not sure about the legitimacy but still a good story....
By the way, today is really really hot! My Buddha(heheh), i used two packets of tissue just for sweat! I'm gonna stop my post here and take a good rest. Cya folks!
Well chinese 'O' levels are over (thank god) and the school holiday's have arrived. No point ranting about my report book (I believe that noone really cares), besides everyone (ok most) did quite badly this time round. I have an L1/R5 of 25 and I'm 42nd in the level.That's how bad we have done. Oh yeah, it was written that i was proficient in english, and I could express my thoughts in a lucid manner. Well the first thing mr. proficient in english did was to ask "what does lucid mean?" I doubt proficient in english would be in the next comment XD. Hey it might be the teacher's way of testing me haha....
Anyways, my father read 'Wesley is a responsible english rep' and a dialogue ensued:
-"eh? Are you the english rep?"
-"well duh, didn't you know?"
Guess what he said.
-"Huh? English rep only get B4 for his english? Shame or not?"
T_T super big hit on my ego man........ guess I will have to try harder now, if not I'll lose respect for myself..... My mum said something too. She said, "Does bubbly mean fat?" Ok I know I'm a bit on the plump side but it's not something I like to be reminded of.....

Damn, the fact that it's the holidays hasn't really gotten into my head yet... Going back to school during the holidays is a real bummer. Ok, I know it's the 'O' level year, but fact remains that it's rather depressing....

After school, I planned to take a taxi home so I invited Claire and Sherilyn to hitch a ride. I dropped them at tampines mart where they wanted to eat at Macdonald's. Stupidly, I followed them (hey i had nothing to do). I wasn't hungry so I had a coffee (despite my caffeine rushes). Another stupid decision. The coffee looked and tasted fine. It only smelled weird. But I just drank it (well, they treated me). Stupid decision number 3. Now I'm like an emo brat under my blanket trying to puke or to sleep. Can't do either so here I am ranting about my coffee woes...

Its finally here. The first 'O' lvl examination is finally here........AND I'M ALL STRESSED OUT! I do not really care for this exam as it is already a lost cause but seriously. Please. do. not. FREAK ME OUT LIKE THAT. I'm already mentally exhausted from focusing on my chinese and french for the past week, and guess what. My father starts being emo yesterday at dinner. This is what he said word for word: I'm not feeling very good these few days, so if anything happens take care of yourselves and continue living. What The HELL! Is that what a father should say before my exam? God no.

Anyways I'm feeling rather nervous (even without my father's psycho-ing me) Argh..... But here's a nice picture to make my blog look nicer:

There's something really cool about a historical building among modern day buildings......

This is one of the most depressing days of my life, which happens rather often...... However, jokes aside. Yesterday outside simei MRT station a boy was crushed to death by a lorry. Literally crushed. As in head under tyre. Although in different levels, my bro goes to the same school as him which makes it even saddening. Imagine your child or sibling was the one behind that truck. Can you imagine the despair his mother and aunt must have felt? Not long ago, I also received the news that my uncle was diagnosed with cancer. Talk about a double bummer........ My deepest condolences to the boy's family and friends..........

How was my french test? I can't be too sure, but I think an A1 should be in the bag. Thanks for the encouragement you guys.......

Wow I just slept for 5 hours straight..... Totally wiped out now can't sleep at all...... The mother tongue intensive is taking a toll on me. You know what freaks me out? My dreams are based on the mother tongue classes in the hall! Same scenario and all.... even the people sitting beside me are exactly the same. I have a big french test tomorrow so i decided to get some rest first.... but I think I would have done better staying awake.....

I just observed the picture for may 18th. Beautiful don't you think? One of the most scenic places i have ever been to. No mountain range in France was as beautiful as this one which i took in Korea. That kind of peace is 非笔墨所能形容的..... Nice phrase I learnt... It means unable to be expressed in words......Here's another one:

Another mountain range( quite obvious) in korea....I forgot where was it already, but still, beauty does not need memory.......
I went out in the morning for dim sum at tampines mall. There was a long queue waiting for the restaurant to open when we got there.... thankfully we had seats, unlike the asses who came an hour later, thinking there wouldn't be anybody ( no offense if you were one of them =P). Ate some really weird things.... there was fried glutinous rice, and a weird carrot cake-like dish. It looked like carrot cake, except the fact that it was sweet and was made with water chestnuts. Too sweet in my opinion. Couple of dishes left that we couldn't finish in the end, so they became takeaways for my afternoon tea :D.... (these water chestnut cakes taste great with chinese tea). Sorry I didn't take any pictures...... I wanted to but when the food came, all I cared about was eating..........

I'm going out later to raffles town club for another scrumptious meal..... No wonder I put on weight.......

I really was surprised today..... Nicely surprised when I found out that I had 20 cca points (A2) and could minus 2 points from my L1R5. I seriously thought I would would fail when it came to cca points because I only started guitar last year.....Never thought i could get 15 points in 1 1/2 year . However I am rather upset about my mid year results.... I kinda knew i would fail in humanities, but the feeling is really just crap. A maths too..... I was top of the class for biology though (although it was only a B4). Just came back from french as well..... I scored full marks for my mock listening comprehension.... whats new.....

Lets stop listening to rambles of the hills and valleys of my life...... Whats over is over. Now I'm at a pit stop just before one of the most important hikes of my life: the 'o' levels.....Whether it is upslope or downslope we shall see.........

Seems like putting up a blog is quite difficult if you don't know a single thing about html's and stuff...... But it seems like the time and effort I have put in through self-experience has paid off a little. Not fantastic but it's a start....

Labels: Congrats to myself

Well I've started to blog.......Might continue, might stop. Why did I start? No idea, just on a whim i guess.....
Well today was nothing special. Actually I was just as random as I am always. When i stepped out of the car this morning, guess whats the first thing i saw. A sign showing that i could win a new hp or mp3 player by eating KFC wow value meals.... I'm really into lucky draws and stuff, so I've decided: Eat KFC at every chance i can get and win a prize. Any one would do but I would really love a new handphone.......

Now, how in the world do i change my blogskin....... Maybe I should have waited for Big Nic to help me.....
