the good and the bad
you know how one day can be an absolutely awesome day, and the next it suck? well, i was having a great weekend (note: WAS), doing my blog, surfing the web, watching simple plan videos, basically on the com the whole weekend and just chilling with the great songs i just got. and of course i got scolded for it. then my parents had to dragged everything in. like how i was having late nights, (whats wrong with late nights?), how i was so involved in school activities (no, im definitely not.), how i should just keep my ass to myself and of course the favourite: how come im not preparing my o levels. so i just shut up and nodded my head. yes, some of the stuff they said were true, i have to agree. i definitely have to pull up my socks and start working on my maths. i have to start fooling around and pay attention to my studies. i have to start getting serious.
BUT. i wonder if they realise that for this week, i had brought home (in my opinion) splendid results from my second round of test. did they realise? hell no. ok, so i havnt gotten back my physics yet, but, my chem was good, my amaths was good. my poor subjects are doing ok. what do they think i've been doing the past few weeks? sleeping all the way? i dont expect them to start throwing parties that im doing ok and not failing everything subject in sight. i dont really want them to praise me or anything. i just want them to realise that YES, JOYCE IS WORKING HARD! is it that difficult? im still gonna work hard, and not going to slacken anyway.
AND mom is going to confiscate my phone if she hears it ringing after 11. reason? she says it distracts me. well, im sure she doesnt realise that, after umpteen times i told her that when people message me, i dont reply immdiately. i just leave it till i finish with whatever subject/homework im studying/doing, then i reply. thats why, people who message me realise that i dont reply immediately, especially at night. i told her. she doesnt believe me. so now, when im home, my phone is on silent and i chuck it under my pillow. so peeps, if i dont reply immediatly, i will get to it later...
and she was saying that i get distracted? well, doesnt she realise that when people walk in or out of my room i get distracted? doesnt she realise that when the tv is on outside i get distracted? doesnt she realise that i can hear the people playing tennis downstairs and i get distracted? im not trying to say that, everybody should stop doing what they do so that i can study. no, im not saying that. im saying that distraction is everywhere. and to "fight" it, i have to be disciplined. fine, im not entirely disciplined, but i do have discipline. weirdest thing of all? my parents doesnt like it when i close the door. geez, then how do i not get distracted? wear ear muffs in my room?
i wont be coming online so often anymore. parents dont want me too, and i dont want too. it comes to the point that im very irritated by the beeping noises of msn. anyway, my blog work is nearly done. i still want to put a sp pic up. but i guess that will have to wait.
on the brighter side, i got my sp disc back. and im playing it 24/7. i got to watch tons of sp videos and laughed so hard till my tears came out. i got to read tons of sp facts. i got to spend most of saturday afternoon alone. sometimes, i just like the peace. i got to catch up on my sleep. i got my blog done. this weekend was really great, in some ways.
i guess in life, you just gotta take the good with the bad...

new layout!
finally! new layout! *phew* i spent (so far) 6 hours on this le. the time spent were sourcing for the html code, and most of the time on trial and error, since my html language isnt very good=) haha. the layout is quite plain but im not done with it yet...
big thanx to chi hoe n alison=D
and yes! simple plan has a new video! its for the new scooby doo movie:) what can i say? i really love sp alot. they are the best band in the whole world! actually i wanted to put perfect video, but perfect is kinda old (though still very nice)
n im so glad my mom allowed me to change my tuition. and she was very agreeable with it. i think i make the situation sound so serious, but actually it isnt. well, all those wasted time worrying. i guess next time, if i really wanna do something, just do it, dont think so much. later got lots of white hair :P
ok, i think im going back to improving this site. gonna look for a sp picture for the top. im getting very addicted to making my layout le. *sings addicted* haha=)

somebody saved me! *sings*
im sorry if i hadnt been updating lately, or as often as before. sometimes, life is just SO busy, but my last test is finally over and i dont think i will have anymore till the next term. hooray~
i cant believe my luck, kevin, my tuition teacher cant make it today. so he's postponing the tuition to friday. which is a good thing, since now, im feeling very zombie-fied and i probably wont be able to concentrate at all.
this lets me think of another thing. im thinking of changing my physics tuition. this is going to get dry, so skip it, if you want... i like kevin alot, more than you can imagine, [hey, he is very cute you know? =) ] neways, but my physics tuition is like a time when i just ask questions or doubts i have in the topic. and he wil briefly go through the topic. but what i think i need is someone or rather a tuition that can really teach very detailed-ly. and kevin has taken his o levels four years ago. sure, he studied a level physics in jc. but i need someone who knows the o level physics very well. so, wan lin and bernice found this tuition class in khatib which is rather near my house, and its much cheaper. for kevin charged $20 per hour, and the the tuition at khatib is $88 per subject. for about the same amount of money, i can have tuition for 2 subjects. the only disadvantage is that i have to spend my time travelling there which can be rather troublesome. so you were thinking just change right? thats the big problem. kevin's my brother's friend and they are rather close mates back during their jc days. plus kevin just lives above me and is our neighbour, its going to be super pai seh if i tell him i dont want him to tuition me anymore right? sigh. but rain was saying my future is much more important ... i dont know how to tell me parents. somebody help...
i think everybody is starting to feel the stress. with the crazy amount of homework and the tests. well, i have started to feel frustrated for no reason. sometimes, when i come home, i just feel like screaming. but since i dont exactly want to disturb my neighbours or frighten my family, i take to smashing and just throwing my pillows on my bed. which is rather effective. haha, you should try it sometimes. i guess its normal if the "pillow-fight" happens once in a while. but everyday?! geez, i just feel horrible every single day. just feel like exploding when i come home or when im in school. is it pms? nah, i dont think so. im not suppose to get pms now...
please rain? please?

ok, i've since ordered myself to be a happy blogger but sometimes, life aint always full of happiness. yeah, there are the ups, but no matter how we try, we still cant avoid the downs...
the acjc funfair was cool in some ways. and we got many ideas for our school's fun fair. maybe i should have shut my mouth or maybe i just wanted to talk about something exciting going on in my life, so i just commented to my parents. i should have known what they would say. "joyce, u better DONT get invovled. let other people do the work" "its your o levels this year, joyce u better watched out and dont offer to help to do so many things"
sometimes, when mdm tong or any other teachers think that express students are dead and unenthusiastic or dont offer their answers in class, i wonder if its the students or the parents that caused this. sometimes i wonder if my parents was studying in my class, would they still say something like that? sometimes, i wonder if my parents are being concern or too over-protective. sometimes, i just wonder...
just because its o level year, must i study everyday, every hour, evrey minute, every second? if i get a PhD, master or 1st class honours, what does that mean anyway? its my last year in secondary school, since i dont have any intention to stay back for another year, i should make the best out of my sec 4 life rite? its not that i dont study, for the past 1 week, with so many tests, dare my parents say that i didnt study at all? what was i doing those late nights till 1 am? what was i doing waking up early like 4 or 5 am? suffering from insomia? no, i had a late night date with my table, chair, pillow, and of course my beloved books.
i know my parents never compared me with my brother. i really appreciate them for that. my genious brother, never studied and still did extremely well. so maybe since im not so er, able in the brain, i should work hard right? yes, thats true. i want to get into a colleage of my choice too. i have dreams that i want to fufil. i have things i want to do. i have places i want to go. and though sad to say this, i need some sort of paper qualifications to do it (and of course money) its not like as if i dont know that its o level year (come on, how can u forget when EVERYBODY reminds u so many times a day?), or that i never thought about my future. its not like as if i want a wasted life. no thank you.
so now, im shutting my mouth. i dont talk back when they nag. i dont even throw my pillows to vent my anger when im alone. i figured, whats the point?
i need rain. and i need to walk in it now.

the day started out wif this BORING event organising talk at sch. event organising is prob more fun but the speaker happens to organise VERY boring events. actually gave some thought to become an event organiser. anyways, she finished late! argh, me n cleo had to rush like mad to meet edwin n syahid at orchard.
we walked ard n met randy n jia ling. they were taking neoprints tog. AHEM! =) haha, aft that had lunch at pasta mania. we had quite alot of fun. n edwin cant stop taking pics of randy n jia ling tog wif his fone. haha. soon, cleo n i left for the indoor stadium.
by the time we reached there, the queue was SO long! its crazy. i realli wanted to go the red carpet but since we r kinda late, then didnt go but joined the crazy queue. i think we queued for like 1 hours plus? saw christopher (i think) from church, daphne n francine. daph got the sitting tix. lucky girl. fran was wif her cousin. while waiting, we were bored so i took out my cam n we started taking pics. haha. it was realli fun=)
finally, at about 6 plus, we started moving into the stadium.
the first sight of the stage kinda took my breath away. its so cool! i realli wished i was at the mosh pit but hey, at least i got the tix. the whole standing area is kinda huge n everybody was squeezing. cleo n i were kinda in the middle/back area. so cant really see anything fr the stage. cleo helped me take tons of pics. thanx cleo!
the performance were great. although, i didnt really enjoy some. omigosh, SIMPLE PLAN ROCKS! SIMPLE PLAN ROCKS! SIMPLE PLAN ROCKS! they were awesome! they performed perfect then addicted. i wish they can come to singapore for a concert. sigh, gotta wait till their second album comes out in the later part of this year or early next year before they tour asia. i luv simple plan=) i also enjoyed other performances from gareth gates n black eye peas. im like a new found fan of gareth, black eye peas n sugababes. oh man, im going ga-ga over gareth gates. haha. his songs r so beautiful! however, i didnt really enjoy stacie orrico's performance. her songs r nice but personally, i didnt like her voice. i luv the maa! n i must say, this is the best v day i ever had!

chingay: parade of dreams
chingay was great. i saw jackie chan! haha. we were at orchard early but din go and 'booked' places until quite late so naturally we had to stand at the back n not see anything. caught a glimpse of cleo. im so proud of that girl. but too bad i din take a pic of her. after a while me, van n her sis tired to squeeze to the front, n we managed. haha. so i went into a camera frenzy. the irritating thing was my cam is realy cranky. note: ppl, dun buy a olympus x-250. it uses up the batt super fast, even though im using a chargable one. n the 'sensor' for the batt is really bad. after a few pics the cam will show that there's no batt n then auto shuts down even though there is still batt... but at least i hav a cam rite?
today was the first day of cat class 2004. we played a super stupid game. n then there was a change of teachers. i've got michelle n joseph. mich is ok, but joseph?! sigh...
Jeremiah 29:11-14
"Yes, i know what plans i have in mind for you, Yahweh declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. When you call to me and come and pray to me, i shall listen to you. When you search for me, you will find me; when you search wholeheartedly for me, i shall let you find me"
and something on grace:
Ephesians 2:8
"Because it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith; not by anything of your own, but by a gift from God"
and i like this phrase to:
Ephesians 2:10
"We are God's work of art, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has already designated to make up our way of life"
