Went to piano today. My piano teacher has a super cute little daughter around 3 years old, just learnt how to walk and talk. Haha she has a knack for being at the doorstep at 8pm when i arrive, and she will stare at me with her soulful eyes, mouth halfopen, neck craned as if saying why are you so tall?
and she always says buhbye! buhbye! when i leave, like 8 - 10 times. with her beaming and hand waving. just a year ago she was scooting around the house on her knees, and now she can walk! heh it seems nice to watch someone grow.
then when i was on the way home, i cut across through the market area, those places with only one narrow strip of floor in between shops, so that the two way people traffic always congest it. a dog owner was standing at a convenience store looking at something, with his dog next to him. dont know what breed, but it has lots of nice gray fur and some half-covered his eyes. and it was licking every passerby's leg! lol so when i passed by it it licked mine too. cant help but smile at then :)
physics was a disappointment, expected an A, but only got b3. missed a2 by 0.5 marks! omg....31/45
maths sucked, barely passing am and failing horribly for em. entirely below expectations! (for a math)
english was heartbreaking as well, but chinese was great. 35/55, giving me a b4. lol chinese o.o
ok im off the play gb. the other boys are waiting for me
Things that make you smile

Yay
exams are finally over! 9 freaking papers in a week! woo!
quite disappointed with my eng though, i only scored 18/30, and ms elaine chng thinks my summary contains phrases which are not conventional. like how i summarised " lawyers will discard information that will distract the jury"
into "able to zone straight into the crux". so next time i shall use simpler eng. she justified it by saying that she had never heard of such a phrase before....i wonder whats the 'language' section in the summary about??
but im relatively confident for the other papers, probably will do better than prev exam.
so for now I can finally take a well deserved break! pool, guitar, bowling whatever....yesss

Xiaotian's left
After watching trains pass me by today, I realised that life is just like an MRT train, rushing past the world around it, stopping only at the stations where people board and alight, just like the friends we meet and let go. But ever so often we grow attached enough to alight at one station to be with that person for a moment or two, though I know in the end we'll still have to board the tireless, ever-rushing train. To move on, off to another destination, where new endeavors and friends await. Moving on...always moving on....until the very last stop
Xiaotian has finally gone for HK...im glad we enjoyed our last few days with each other to the fullest, only the two of us. pool, bowling, studio jamming....good food like pizza hut and crystal jade.
i have taken you for granted, that you are always 5 mrt stops and one bus away, but now i have come to realise that it is indeed very easy to lose someone. you are the only person who have ever gotten this close to me and vice versa, spending almost every single moment together, being almost inseparable. i doubt ill be able to find another friend whom i can share so many things with together and learn so much from.
i just hope now that you can live a great life there in HK, and dont forget me and the people youve met in the 5 years in SG.
farewell, and see you someday. if we ever get to do so, promise me you will shout fker the next time we meet in person.

The Best Years of Our Lives - Evan Taubenfeld
This song truly captures my feelings and its lyrics are so beautiful that I decided to post it up... Enjoy
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
We had the best years of our lives,
But you and I would never be the same,
September took me by surpise,
And I was left to watch the seasons change,
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
It's been so quiet since you've gone,
And everyday feels more like a year,
Sometimes I wish I could move on,
The memories would all just disappear.
So many things I should'ah,
Said when I had the chance,
So many times we took it all for granted.
I'd never thought this could ever end,
I'd never thought I'd lose my bestfriend,
Everything is different now,
Can we stop the world from turning.
I'd never thought I'd have to let you go,
I'd never thought I'd ever feel this low,
I wish I could go back,
And we stop the world from turning.
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Looking back on better days,
When we were young,
We thought we knew so much.
And now it seems so far away,
Of wondering if I was good enough.
So many things I should\'ah,
Said when I had the chance,
So many times we took it all for granted.
I'd never we would ever end,
I'd never thought I'd lose my bestfriend,
Everything is different now,
Can we stop the world from turning.
I'd never thought I'd have to let you go,
I'd never thought I'd ever feel this low,
I wish I could go back,
And we stop the world from turning.
Gone are the days,
When we swore we'd never break,
And now I'm left here alone.
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh ooo...
I\'d never thought we would ever end,
I'd never thought I'd lose my bestfriend,
Everything is different now,
Can we stop the world from turning.
I'd never thought this could ever end,
I'd never thought I'd lose my bestfriend,
Everything is different now,
Can we stop the world from turning.
I'd never thought I'd have to let you go,
I'd never thought I'd ever feel this low,
I wish I could go back,
And we stop the world from turning.
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh oo Oh Oh oo...
Oh Oh ooo...
