Spark.

Wahaha. Went down to HCIS for the iGSCE exam. Pwnt it again.

I felt damn shuang.

The compo had Descriptive Writing as an option… like finally. Probably the last time I will ever get to write Descriptive compos under exam conditions.

My forte. My love.

Topic was… Describe an enchanted journey of sights and sounds.

I wrote about a butterfly journeying through… paradise… then a cave… then into a meadow.

Wahaha imagination + creativity = fun.

Writing compositions should be like that man. Not whole day argue about this argue about that.
Our lives all about proving our point issit?

Why can’t we just take a step back and enjoy the sights and sounds of everything.

—————

This is something that I was really contemplating inside me. Would my life become like that?

我們小時候想飛，人們都說，
小孩子別亂説話，等你長大后就了解了。

我們年少時候想飛，人們都說，
別整天做夢，無所事事啦，去寫你的ABC。

我們儅了青年想飛，人們都說，
去讀你的書，考試重要，考不及格可不能上大學喔。

我們上了大學想飛，人們都說，
研究計劃做了沒？實驗報告完成了嗎？結果如何？

我們上班了想飛，人們都說，
別整天發呆了，五分鐘后得開會，快點把資料拿來。

我們退休后想飛，人們都說，
活到老，做到老，去上些課程確保你在當今社會還能生存。

我們老了想飛，已經太遲了。

When you’ve got ambitions, and a passion to dream for, I think you should go for it.

Carpe diem’s cliche, but it’s true. Treasure the time that you are filled with vigour and just follow your dreams.

Learn to balance between work and play.

Your dreams, once lost, are gone forever.

Don’t comfort yourself with the fact that you’ll have all the time in the world once you’re old.

You’ll be too old to do a shit by then.

Balance is key.

LOL that was inspired by some 華崗論談 article that I read while waiting for the iGSCE time.

Yeah I become so into chinese that I actually go and read 華崗論談 . But I’m telling you, it’s funny how I was stupid enough to deprive myself of such wonderful chinese articles.

I guess when I study chinese I don’t like the repetitive drills and perpetual practising with practise papers. Ya get it. p-p-p-p

Studying chinese’s gotta be fun to invoke interest in people man.

And I guess if you’re just aiming to score A1 for chinese in Os, that’s too practical.

Chinese’s a language, even yeotc you admit what.

So should a language be learnt whole day using practise papers and zuowen?

No. Not saying that you do away entirely with all those practice stuff or totally heck care about exams. (If I see anything about this appearing in Comments I’m gonna delete it)

Anyway, I understand fully. Chinese Os are coming soon, so obviously we need to practise. Don’t mind lar actually. You’re doing ur part as a teacher. Can’t blame you, anyway the exam more important than anything right now. Correct?

You must incorporate true, real, authentic chinese into the package man. Where’s all the chinese literature gone?

I think I find more joy in reading stuff like 社論 and 華崗論談 and 三字經 and learning 俗語. Cause these not only improve your proficiency in the language, it increases your understanding of the beautiful language. And some of the principles and values taught in Chinese are priceless to your development as a person.

Isn’t that what chinese is for?

Like what yangwz said 1 year ago. Or was it shiehls 2 years ago. I don’t give a damn. Some chinese teacher said it.

我教你華語不是爲了幫你在考試中考得優秀成績，
我是在教你做人。

And I agree fully.

WOOOOOO TODAY FROM HCI GO DHOBY GHAUT MRT TO MEET DARYLL AND DANIEL AND SHAWN AND XC FOR DANCE

Lolz. Guess where everybody was?

D&D were at Lan. XC too far away at ECP. Shawn wasn’t there.

Ty.

I went over to Paradiz to meet the Lan-ers. Damn sick of the environment there la, don’t know how you all enjoy it so much. I stand there also sian liao. So sleazy.

Shawn came after that.

Went to SMU, Li Ka Shing Library there to try and find Studio Wu.

We walked one big round around SMU, walked up to a dead end, but still cannot find the dance studio.

But guess what happened?

*As we were escalating up the escalator*

Random lady: “Hey! Oi! Hey! Oi!” *Desperately signalling and clawing at us to come back down*
Dahwei -who the heck is this, can’t be calling us right we don’t even know anyone here-
Dahwei: “WHAT THE HELL? SALLY LIM?”
Everyone: “WTF?”
Everyone: “HAHAHAHAHHA WTF HAHAHAHAHAHA WTH HAHAHAHAHA LOL”
Dahwei: -unexpected sia how come she at SMU-

Sally Lim: “Haha, how are you guys. Just now call you never respond.”
Everyone: “Can’t recognise you luh.”
Sally Lim: “How come you all going to Studio Wu?” *Confused look*
Daryll -think we can’t dance issit this Sally-
Everyone: “Oh we go there find friend.”
Dahwei -still can’t get over the shock- “Cat chase dog.”
Everyone: “HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

Sally Lim: “Woi stop making fun of my msn address.”
Everyone: “So how to go Studio Wu?”

And then we just parted and went our separate ways, laughing at how comical the whole thing was.

Totally unexpected… how come Sally mugging at SMU there.

——————

Studio Wu is a FREAKIN ZHAI AND NICE PLACE. Can’t wait to go there man.

Damn inspired.

Michael was there also. Woah long hair sia.

Damn damn nice.

Hurry up Chinese Os, get over with it quickly so I can go focus on dancing.

Vestige is coming, watch out.

Dahwei.

Riding

Chinese lesson today was damn fun.

Somehow, it seemed more interesting than previous ones.

And the zuowen was pure enjoyment. =P

Well, laoshi asked us in the end, “Why did you come to Hwa Chong?”

This has been a question I’ve always been asking myself. And I haven’t really thought of the answer.

I guess it’s more of a luck and chance thing.

Raffles’s 10 minutes walk away from my house and I could definitely have gotten in. But why HCI over RI I just wonder. Especially when my p.schl cliques were all flocking there… I really contemplated entering Raffles initially.

But haha, something just held me back. I think it’s intuition. That I would have a nicer time sailing through High School in HCI.

And I dint regret it one bit. I enjoyed it so much.

Events that shaped me.
People that shaped me.
School.

Wooo. It seems so far yet so close.

I wasn’t ready to answer yeotc if she had asked me.

I would probably have said 預感.

So, the answer? I had this really cool feeling that told me I would enjoy HCI.

Or maybe, I’m just destined…

daH wei.

H for Hwa Chong.

——————-

I’ve been slacking on my HCI post. Damnit.

After Chinese today I went to pack myself with carbos so I can tank the dumb training later on.

That 粗面 tastes damn disgusting and starchy.. I eat already feel damn sian but I just force LOL.

Those kind will give you the energy to tank whatever vigourous activity.

Woots.

Aimed to complete 60km of cycling with Ja.

Even though we failed (20km completed nia), I thought the feeling of satisfaction was shuang.

Nvm, we will complete it next time. Practise and practise until we get it.

If we wanna do the night cycling thing, gotta start doing something and train.

After all, 千里之行，始于足下。

Walking down the steps with our knees buckling under the body weight was an unique experience for me. Leg muscles were numbed. Bleahx and cycle so long on the machine BUTT DAMN PAIN HAHAHA.

I think I wouldn’t have any problem completing the distance. Definitely can endure through. But it’s the butt problem that’s super irritating -.-

After cardio cycling we still go whack.

Whack until I carry my bag also got problem.

-.-

——————-

Oh yes.

I totally forgot about my wallet cause I left it on the ground in cardio room when we were cycling. Only when I was about to board the bus then I realise – I got my wallet sia.

Called Ja to help me walk back and take. Cause I will spend damn lot of energy trying to trudge back with my dumb bag. So kind of him =P

Got the wallet back in the end. $60 inside sia. And all my important cards. Phew.

When I reached home I stuffed myself with…

One whole bar of cadbury choc
One packet of milo
One packet of soury green appley sugary licorice thingies
One packet of gummy sweets
1.5l of water

And went to sleep.

Tired!

Dahwei.
