DECISION!
wow, haven't posted in VEHHH long.
as can be seen by the horror that is my tagboard.
lately, i've been trying to become more active academically. i've told myself that i'm going to spend a minimum of an hour a day studying. preferably an hour on jap and an hour on math. more realistically, i will spend an entire week before a (math) test mugging (math), and i will try to riffle through my jap textbook every night.
physically! i told myself i'd gym every day. falling sick has destroyed this. nonetheless, at least i am capable of pullups. this is a small ray of hope in the midst of a giant dark field of black clouds and spooky trees.
and and of course. i'm gonna try to stop disappointing people. liek my parents. and my friends. (:
and beat hansheng and victor both at basketball!
stop calling me gay! ): <

I HATE
I HATE STITCHES.
I DESPISE THEM. loathe them, with every fiber of my being. stitches - not sutures, but the stabbing pain in your side when you run - PISS THE HELL OUT OF ME.
i don't know how many times they've ruined my run. my form is good, i'm not tired, BANG A STITCH HITS ME.
wikipedia says that a stitch is caused by your liver/stomach pulling on your diaphragm. and that means that you shouldn't eat before running. i get that much. but all i had was frickin' tea, man.
): <
damn pissed.

sampson lim
there's this fellow called sampson lim; an alright, tall guy.
or so one would think.
he's in basketball and the rafflesian times, slim, decent.
or so I thought.
Then.... this.
why, sampson, why?

a new year
a fresh start. a clean slate, and everything that that's supposed to bring.
(:
the new year isn't coming off quite as smoothly as i thought it would be, but this moment is one i'd like to preserve - a year ahead of me, no crimes yet committed, opportunities to atone and to create, to achieve and to excel.
things like jazz piano and pool spark my interest, friends put life into my life, and school offers intellectual challenge. i've resolved lots of things, and i don't know if i'll be able to keep all - or any - of them, but i promise i'll try.
next year is jc, and this is an important milestone in my life. i have to give it my best shot. i have to do my best.
my mum likes to say depressing things like, "your father and I are worried about your academic studies", or "if you fail your exams it's fine, i'm prepared for you to stop studying and go and work". that kind of thing scares the bejeezus out of me - and for good reason, i feel.
therefore, to avert that possibility - which my mother has caused to loom HUUGE in my mind - i'm going to study. to go out, socialize, have fun, and be cool, but focus on academics, for once. for one year, if only for one year, i'm going to see what it's like to be on task.
it's too early to say, but i hope i'll be successful at it.
and that my pool improves. cuz now i sucks.
and jazz piano too.
and that i get to meet more cool people.

season's greetings
haven't posted in forever. what's going on in pek's life, you may wonder?
perhaps a few analogies first.
you know what it's like when you play pool and you make a shot too fast? you just sorta miss your chance, cause you're too eager and too nervous and you make your stroke before you aim, before you consider. or when you figure everything out - made your calculations - and smoothly initiate impact only to see the ball dance mockingly around the hole before rolling out again?
it's like that.
or when it's your turn, and everyone else is doing fine, potting the balls they set out to get, but when it comes to you you're snookered and there's no clear shot to whatever you're aiming to get, or even any viable options at all?
it's kinda like that too.
in case you haven't noticed, i really like pool.
what've i been up to since the holidays started? writing? practically nil. schoolwork? negligible. preparation for next year? merely mental.
working and going out have been the focuses of my life for a month now, basically, apart from the initial month or so of gaming. working with victor for so long has really forged closer ties between us; he's a pretty awesome guy. and a tricky opponent in pool.
hansheng, too, has been someone i've been going out a lot with. together with victor, i've had some of the most lol moments this holiday with them. despite (or perhaps because of) his tendancy to say stupid/hilarious things, he can still be pretty level-headed when he needs to be.
going to taka and eating packet noodles seated on the floor is something that i've come to expect as a norm whenever i go out with samuel. because we is both likez noodles. yumz.
and ling is a dork. nuff said.
working with starhub is also a huge experience for me. besides being the first time i've worked, earned money in a legal and ethical way, and dealt with customers, it's also been a sort of testimony to my own capabilities. if i were to stop going to school, i could make 800 bucks a month; hardly sufficient to live any sort of fancy lifestyle, but good enough to survive. and strangely, it's a major confidence booster for me; going up to talk to strangers is also another skillset that i've picked up. communicating has always come easy to me when i'm working in english, but i've closed deals in chinese before, and the feeling of elation and accomplishment is just fantastic. like when you sink a lot of balls in a row at pool.
the nature of my work - roadshows or door-to-door sales - is such that it's a visceral, adrenaline-filled ride when i sign a deal. although i've only signed $250 worth of plans (i.e. roughly 7 or 8 deals) i also haven't been working that much; the guys i've gotten to know on the job (i.e. alfred, alvin, aris, rio, yean, uncle winston) have all been awesome and coolz.
no major upheavals in my life either. the only thing of note has been my trip to india (<333!) and my sisters' returning home (<333333333!!!!).
india was. just. freaking. amazing. beyond being a total culture shock (whoa blackkkkk and cows and elephants and no chinese people) it was cool in so many ways. the hotel where i stayed was lovely, as were the staff who i played pool with. hahahahhaa. they really owned me, and they're fantastically good, but they gave me tons of chances. especially the friendly large fellow whose name i sadly never learned - he always called me 'little buddy', which was true (relatively) and i never said anything but you're sorta a buddy to me too ^_^
i went to goa, a state in india, for my mum's colleagues' daughter's wedding (ostensibly, anyway) and the wedding was amazing. it was like a fairy tale; bars, fireworks, the most gorgeous wedding dress i've ever seen, music, exotic food... the bride and groom were elegant and poised, and i wish them all the best. good luck, aleisha and eric!
at the wedding, besides drinking lots of alcohol and listening to music, i also met a couple of my mum's colleagues. i sampled the atmosphere of corporate social events - it was good, but i was a little young. i figure in a couple years i'll find it more appealing. king, a singaporean photographer, was entertaining conversation for an evening, and i'd certainly look forward to talking with him again.
and as for my sisters, why one is back; and the other will be back in two days. so i'm happy, and although school is approaching - and i feel stoned/resolved to work harder about that - i figure i should just enjoy myself while the holiday lasts.
briefly, a list of things i have to do:
#1 get new school books
#2 get tuition
#3 figure plan of action for next year
#4 work out more
#5 get good at pool

oh, my other newest quest is to get a 3.4 for next year's gpa, as well.
AND TO GET 20 SKILL FOR HALO 3 ARGH. BERNARD GRR.
the trueskill system is ridiculously biased. so i'm playing team doubles with my friend over xbox live; we're both lieutenants in ranked (i.e. we've gotten skill levels of ten and have won over 70 games before) and we start out as my skill being 7 and his being 6.
we play, we win.
our skill both goes up to 8.
we play, we win.
his skill lurches up to ten, mine is nine.
we play, we win.
his skill goes up to 11, mine to 10. NOTE THAT ALL THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD I HAVE BEEN GETTING 'MVP' (i.e. most valuable player) IN ALL OUR MATCHES. i have a better kill:death ratio, the most kills, etc. etc.
we play, we win.
his skill goes up to frickin' 13, mine doesn't move.
we play, we win.
his skill goes up to 15.
we play, we win.
his skill goes up to 17 and i get 11.
WTF LAH.
SERIOUSLY, BUNGIE. WHAT THE HELL. MVP IS ME BUT HIS SKILL IS GOING UP WTFPAOISHDPOIFHWAEPRI.
AAAAAAARGH.

HALO 3
hahahaha BOUGHT HALO 3 AND I CAN'T STOP.
it's freakishly addictive. multiplayer with yiwei and bernard and shanghai (hopefully). TEAM SLAYERS AAAAARGH.
and i finished the campaign too! it was damned hard but i can say i finished the fight :DD
and and and. i'm a sergeant in rank! it means i won 20 games. and i can say that those 20 games were hard-won indeed.
i'm actually spending a lot of quality time with my xbox 360 lately. people keep saying "dota!" or "go out!" but halo 3 pwnns their ass.
though i also want to learn beatboxing, after a cool exhibition at school.
and guitar as well, because... well, it's funky.
so that's my after-exam life. i'd like to get back to the gym, actually. but it's hard, cause i like lounging in indolency.
lastly, i realize that i really really need to email my mentor =/ the last time i requested a portfolio review then she said okay but then she didn't get back to me and i was thinking perhaps she's busy but it's been a month now and i should email her but when i thought that it was during EOYs so i thought hey might as well leave it. but then time passed and nothing happened.
so now i'm like not writing anything cause i'm *refer to above* lounging in indolency. meh.

AAARGH BODILY HAIR
at first i was afraid, i was petrified...~
then i got really freaked out and screamed.
AT MY BEARD ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
okay it's less a beard and more of... a few adventurous hairs going where no hair has gone before. I would post a pic, but i have no idea how to operate camera/photo thingy.
like i was sitting at the com, surfing explosm.net and bash.org when SUDDENLY WHILE RUBBING MY CHIN i felt these protuberances.
tugged at it, it hurt.
looked at it in the mirror, it burned my eyes.
i have 3 or 4 strands of hair peeking out of my chin! AARGH.
hair is spreading like some disease across my body =/
first it was calves/pubes, then lower abdomen, then stomach, then a BIT of chest hair - then my thighs - then AAAAARGH MY CHIN.
i'm turning into my father!
i'm going to have a beard!
hmm, actually, i rather like a beard.
anyway, i don't have a moustache yet. i want one. it's cool.
then i got really freaked out and screamed.

stop bugging me for updates!
i have exams lah, post after exams :\
anyway, there's this dude called Maddox, who made a webpage;
and it's REALLY funny. hahahahahaha.
an excerpt from his book (a short one, to avoid teh copyrights):
'One time I dumped a woman, and she didn't take it too well. I told her to stop crying because I had only one roll of toilet paper left. This only made her cry more, so I went downstairs and made myself a sandwich. When she came downstairs to see what I was doing, she had snot running down her nose, so I lost my appetite. Of course, I asked her to reimburse me for the cost of the sandwich which I was no longer going to eat, at which point she exploded even louder. It seemed like no matter what I did, she'd keep crying and begging me to take her back. I finally got tired of it, so I told her that if she took my videos back to the video rental store, we could talk. By the time she came back, I had turned off the lights and pretended I wasn't home.'
he's an asshole, but he's DAMN funny. hahhaa.

realization
jedi academy is incredibly fun!
there's nothing like pulling your friend into the air, hovering him over a gaping chasm, and letting him fall to his death to brighten your day.
i mean that in the most normal way possible.
ANYWAAAAY.
have been dotaing, slacking, and playing star wars for the past 10 days. and now there are only 10 more before EOYS!
holy crap!
suddenly struck yesterday with a dose of malaise and lethargy, and general ill-being. felt disconcerted - was damn happy before that. and then today my stomach clenched unpleasantly, like some rabid oyster, while i was playing computer games.
and then i realized. my body's TELLING me something.
it's time TO STUDY!!!!
not sure how successfull i'll be at it, but i've gotten around to finally buying my 3B keben for chinese. and arranged my notes for bio.
math will be a killer, revising 8 months work (the last 2 months of which i completely do not understand) iin 10 days. bio too. but my friends will help, and i'll bludgeon them into tutoring me.
heh.
and i hope i can stay away from lightsabers til' this time is over.

Part 2 of USA Trips.
Well, what else did I do in the US? Nothing much, really. Ate out almost every night (heh, heh) thanks to my eldest sister's booking of many restaurants. Heck, I ate out for lunch and breakfast too. I survived for 10 days on restaurant food and take-out!
The USA trip was majorly fun and it actually gave me lots of things to think about. I rather like living in the US, truth be told.
Sigh.
Oh well. The holiday's over, and it's back to mundane trials for me. I have a Physics CCT on Wednesday (i.e. Tomorrow!) to take! As well as my Japanese Oral EOY, also on Wednesday! And I need to begin studying for the rest of the EOYs that I'm going to bungle up (i.e. Biology, because there's a shitload of stuff to study, Math, because I suck at it, and Chinese, because there's a shitload of stuff to study AND I suck at it). And I need to fulfil my part of the mentorship thingamajig.
RAwR.

USA & CCTs & RT
WELL NOW ME HEARTIES. ME IS BACK.
In case no-one noticed (sobs), Pek Wen Jie vanished from the face of the earth for ten days. His normally perma-online MSN... was constantly gray. And no, not because I was watching porn and therefore set my status to 'appear offline' as someone has hideously accused me. His normally vibrant blog was horribly desolate. And his normally active tagb- oh, who am I kidding. My tagboard is always dead.
ANYWAY. WHERE DID I GO?
No, the title of this entry is not an ode to acronyms. It's a description of my life.
So far, I've taken a couple of CCTs.
Bio - 26/40 (my eternal sorrow.)
Lit - 18/25 (did I say that bio was my eternal sorrow? I lied. this is.)
Physics - 0. Yes, you saw that right. 0. My physics GPA is plummeting faster than a whale and a pot of petunias.
Mathematictics - 0. Why did I make it Mathematictics? because then it's twice the number of characters of Physics. And why would I do that? Because it's double weightage, and therefore I'm screwed.
O_O_O
AAH THREE EYED MONSTER
basically, I left for the USA despite the entreaties of my Director of Academic Studies and my Common Sense.
Bah, fuck it, USA trip was fun. And cool. And fun. And family bonding (: And as long as my GPA stays above 2, I can get to Sec 4! And since it's now 3.15 (3.2 with Jap), I think I can barely scrape a 2.1!
-----------------------------
SECTION ONE: USA TRIP
-----------------------------
So I left on a wednesday morning with a heavy heart. That day, I missed the Math CCT, and some important RE thing. So important that after the plane trip finished and I landed in Newark Airport, in Manhattan, in New York, in the USA, in the World, I received an SMS;
"Pek Wen Jie, where are you? If you do not come to MPP now, you will be considered Playing Truant. Harsh punishment will ensue."-Mrs D'reen A'g
I was like, "oh shit!"
Quickly, with lightning fingers despite my burgeoning jet lag, I smsed back:
"Ma'am, am not even in SG lol, play truant what truant huh, you want to die is it-"
No, that's what I would have msged if I was suicidal and/or Bryan Koh. So I msged:
"Ma'am, am not in country."
Lalala. Happy happy. Took a cab, experienced firsthand the horrible New York traffic, gasped under the weight of my sister's enormous hippo-sized pink-and-purple luggage, popped a vertabrae or twenty trying to get it out of SG house, into SG cab, out of SG cab, into Changi Airport, out of Newark Airport, into NY cab, out of NY cab, up stairs, into eldest sister's small apartment.
But the next day, I remembered why I adore the Americas so much.
Their breakfasts!
My God! Those breakfasts! Heaps upon heaps of eggs in every imaginable position, missionary, doggy st- no, I mean, sunny-side up, scrambled, poached, boiled, half boiled, quarter-boiled, eighth-boiled, and sixteenth-boiled.
Ham, sausages, bacon, home-fries, pancakes, french toast!
And My God! Those portions! When I say heaps, I mean heaps! HEAPS!!!
(:
*sigh*
I sigh, just thinking about them.
Anyway, spent days in New York. Had ice-cream in washington square park, ate the finest cuisine in american heap-portions, read books under the glorious late-summer sunshine...
aaah. that's the life.
then i got ANOTHER sms at dinner.
From Mrs D'reen A'g.
"If that is the case, why did you not inform me when I met you at 29th August, Tuesday, at Lunchtime near the Staircase?"
O___O
I didn't know what to say to that, so I ignored it.
Heh heh.
Anyway, did so much cool stuff in the US. Bike rides along the hudson river - though getting the bike from the bike shop where i rented it to the river itself was damn scary. the trucks! the cars! O_O
and the humiliation! my eldest sister, the one who runs marathons as warm-ups, the one who can beat me in 2.4, the one who runs around singapore for fun, can also cycle circles around me.
hmm.
cycled for about 50 minutes at what to me was a back-breaking pace. when I finally finished, and got off, my thighs were screaming to be shot.
"SOMEONE SHOOT ME," they screamed.
I slapped them and told them to keep a stiff upper lip. You have to be firm with these thighs, otherwise they just trample all over you.
then my sister said, "hmm, that wasn't a very good workout. shall cycle more ba." and then she zoomed off.
and i got yelled at! because although the trail is gorgeous (next to the river, wind in your face, sunshine delighting in its power over the land and blazing in glory, trees swaying, the deep green-blue of the water) it gets rather narrow. And I was swerving all over the place, so someone yelled at me and told me to "keep right, man!" in a pissed off tone.
>_>;;! embarrassed pek.
brunch is officially the finest meal of my day. i want to live in the US!
anyway, bought two cool shirts. one says affliction, and has a skeleton with a rose on it! the other says affliction, and has a helmet. lol. I also bought these damn cool pair of rainbow shoes.
^_^! consumer pek!
okay, that's gay, i shall stop.
AND AND AND. OMG COMICS ARE FREAKING AWESOME. my eldest sister collects damn a lot of comics like "Fable" and "Lucifer" and i read them and they're DAMN NICE.
So I bought 9 issues of "Y: The Last Man", which was ALSO damn nice.
and 5 david farland books. haha.
I like reading (:
anyway, shall post more about thises next times. am tired, and am going to eat out soon.
cheers!
