Wow!!! THIS is super ultimate!! amusing..hahahhahaa! I got this from another blog..hmmz..It seems like somebody voiced out about what he felt about this...haha...well..i ever thought of it too..haha.some seemed to be true..:) hah..

::Dear [name of a boy],

it has come to my attention that you have been selected as a potential student of ACS(I). We are indeed pleased to welcome you to our big family. However, there are a few improvements that have to be made for you to be qualified to be one of us.

Firstly, your physical appearance needs alteration.
According to our school's tradition, our attire includes:
1. spiked hair
2. pants worn on the hips
3. almost completely hidden socks
4. shirts not tucked in properly etc.Furthermore, you must have bushy eyebrows and tan skin to be eligible. Thus, we would appeal that you make this changes ASAP.

Secondly, other than outward appearance, what goes on inside is crucial as well. We adhere struictly to our 3 acts: Act Cool, Act Attitude and Act Poser, stressing on poser-ism as the basis of our image.

Act cool: All ACSI students are required to be adept in pretending to be cool in the way bimbos will fall for the trick, even though it is obviously not the proper definition of "cool". We do not want our students to be cool but to ACT cool.
This will include mannerisms like acting nonchalant and pompous that will create the false impression that ACSI guys are indeed very desirable and good looking.

Act attitude: Due to the fact that bimbos absolutely love attitudal guys, we emphasise strongly on pretending to have attitude in our boys. You will hence have to act like a very bad person when you are in fact an insecure and deprived person.

Act poser: AS this is the trademark of our school, it will require no further explanation.To adhere to our school's motto "The best is yet to be", we require you to stop getting good results in school especially in the area of literature, as this opposes our motto.

You will hence need to go out more with bimbos, have fun, screw around and be less concerned with your studies.Your Chinese grades need to be extremely poor and you will have to hate it a lot.
In other words, you must forget all your roots and be a perfect banana.
You are also required to be rich to avoid being ostracised and looked down upon in our school. More emphasis will also be put on sports to create the false impression that ACSI guys are all rounders.
We look forward to your joining our huge ACS family and we certainly do believe you have the potential, judging by your bimbo attracting qualities prevalent in all our students. We believe that with more posing, despising Chinese and acting, you can definitely be an outstanding representation of ACSI.

yours sincerely,
PrincipalAnglo Chinese School (Independent)

Was busy the last few days..Did sound on saturday...the whole day frm 8.30am to 10pm...was tiring but fun...Learnt many different types of dance...Threatre, ballet, musicial, break dancing...seen it all!! amazed by it..Reached home quite late, and woke up early the next day sunday.

Sunday
Played for main service...it was a special day on Sunday. Youth day for chinese youths..there were also a dance performed by the girls in the youth. Very good performance...
There was also a short video clip about how the Youth group have grown over all these years..Saw the video with the "shalomers", now some of them moved over to a new church. Wonderful memories...i regretted why i didnt cherish those days..didnt really get to know the ex shalomers...Now is abit too late..as some of them are not in same church anymore.
After church.went out with kev and nigel. outing was ok....We went to have dinner in Marche..food was great..hmmz..me and kev agreed that it will be a good place to bring that "special someone" for a meal, casual dining...heez

I was feeling quite emo..teared when i was walking home that day...went to my room and tears started flowing out..that feeling....When one misses someone..but on the other hand he dunno how to tell her..that how much he feels for her...he also dare not to voice out or even to talk to her...All he knows is She's sweet, been there for him, like an Angel..during times when he was down...
She brings a smile to His face....He is happy to see her being happy..

Dashboard Confessionals- The Best Deceptions

I heard about your trip.
I heard about your souveneirs.
I heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights
And the cool guys
That you spent them with.

I guess I should have heard of them from you
I guess I should have heard of them from you

Don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all the "best deceptions"
And the "clever cover story" awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard cause this'll be the last time that I let you.
You will be back someday,
And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's
lips
Will be of service
to giving you away.

I heard about your regrets.
I heard that you were feeling sorry.
I heard from someone that you wished you could
Set things right between us.

I guess I should have heard of that from you
I guess I should have heard of that from you

So don't you see, don't you see,
That the charade is over?
And all the best deceptions
And the clever cover story awards
Go to you.
So kiss me hard cause this'll be the last time that I let you.
You will be back someday,
And this awkward kiss that screams of other people's
lips
Will be of service
to giving you away.
to giving you away.

I'm waiting for blood
To flow to my fingers
I'll be all right when my hands get warm.
Ignoring the phone,
I'd rather say nothing,
I'd rather you never heard my voice.
You're calling too late,
Too late to be gracious.
And you do not warrant long good-byes.

You're calling too late,
You're calling too late.

What A DAY!
Its 2.15am, friday morning...Early in the evening i went swimming again..had fun...a good workout..releases all my stress after a day's work!..ahh.
Then drove to Josh's house...Attended "One Authority" jamming sessions...song in the making "bitter butterfly"..was good! guitars harmonizing...with the help of some effects..(Kev's Toys) throughout the whole jamming session..i've seen the gradual improvement....different types of riffs coming into different verses...and adding more "colours" into the song..Getting the band to have the same concept of the song allows them to coordinate well. I saw how josh organized some stuffs with the band...hmm learnt alot..
Was fun...ended off with a word of prayer...then we were off to supper...Gerald went home..cos it was late...We had a few prata..then came back to kev's place..stayover..and will go to work frm here tml...

Hmmz...motivated...must brush up my skills...really..I've asked for this gift frm God..now its me to make full use of it...to glorify His name by forming a band with some guys..(i hope so)
That leads..to me a few years back...a few of us formed a band.."9 Fruits"..but it didnt turn out too well..it didnt last..Got to start somewhere...

Yup thats all for today...Thanks for reading..

Haven been bloggin for some time...nope..not really busy...but computer isnt working properly. Been going swimming most of the time after work..a time to relax and keep fit. Just came back from swimming...feeling great. Attachment is gonna end soon...so are my practical exams...they are approaching..nervous..A part of me want to go back to school...a part of me want to stay..hmmz pros and cons..Well all i need is more time..for my commitments..yupz.

Was reading my daily bread this morning..its about giving glory to god in whatever u do..even when at work..trying to learn how..cos ive been complaining about the hours..heez...also recently felt that i need to start doing quiet time...Frequently! what is a relationship without commitments and communication with God? Yup..those daily bread really encourage me everyday...

Somehow..these days..i feel that i have no more friends..its like losing something...but dun really know whats missing..hmmz...abit confused..
Maybe friends do really drift apart? how about dropping an anchor to prevent further drifting? jus some effort..or gone forever? Friends? its really sad...

Have been hanging out with a few close friends though...those whom i know..for about 6 years or more..chilling out..sharing about one's life..laughing at jokes...watching super funny movie...like "herold and Kumar" haha. really funny...

This week seems to be a busy week again...Work...on weekends..Church music practice on sat...Helping out in Sound for Sue Lynn.. Sunday, going down to NEW CHURCH to hear missionaries share their experiences..Yup...serving God is sure fun and good..Cant wait for the weekend to come again..to find rest and peace in His presence, after every hectic week, a time to put all my troubles and all those stress on God's hand..Not our Burden....Have been attending Morning serivces for quite some time...will be quite frequent..cos i really like the morning's Praise and Wordship..and also the sermons are in English which i have a better understanding for me to grow spiritually..

till then...

Now....

Listening to Mars Volta...random thoughts running through my head...feeling very down...jus thought of typing a few more words before i go...
Really want to rely on God to take me through all these...Lord carry me in ur arms...i will hold on to you...i must try. I dun want to fall...Strengthen me with your holy spirit...i thank you Lord. Amen.

Life like this...

Past few days have been busy...with work, church and some personal activities...keeping myself fit.

Yesterday was teacher's day celebration held in school...I was called back from the outlets, to help in school..everyone in the committee must be there. Yup it was fun..better than being in the outlets..there were games and BBQ organised for the teachers..we (committee) helped in the games..and it was fun to see the the teachers being like childish once again...haa.It all ended around 8pm...yup a fun but tiring day...i went to swim after that too..heez..

Well something Tragic happened yesterday too...people jumping onto the MRT tracks..! i was in Bukit Batok MRT station..on my way to school..When i heard a weird screeching sound of the Train..until when my friend told me there were lots of police in the station..About 7.50pm...there another person jump onto the tracks of Redhill MRT..I felt it was getting creepy..2 person jumping onto Tracks on the same day? and its the 7th month...bizzare.
Well it was really very inconvienant for people who rely on the MRT to travel..I got no choice but to take 111 to douby ghaut. While in the bus...there were so many people at queestown waiting for bus! u know..i was sitting on the double decker bus..and i can see so many people ...reminded me of ants...haa..

Been rather down lately....wanting to express myself but it seems that there are no suitable person to share it with...people seems to be avoiding me..not being how they were before..Looking at other people's life going so smoothly, so happily.. makes me wonder are they pretending to be happy? My tears fall..
Feeling rejected....But i thank God for the miniority...of true friends..who were there to comfort, to share, to let me know there is someone who cares..Guess what they are not believers! How about the rest? those who are here to stay? Reveal yourself!
