...

I randomly typed in 'taliban' and clicked search just now, and right now I'm seething with rage. How can those biased, prejudiced, evil people be so blind and ignorant. Forcing women to stay at home and prohibiting them to get an education.

It's so obvious what they're driving at. I hope every member of the taliban dies a horrible death and burns in hell fire for eternity. Their senseless violence has kept girls from getting an education...and worse, they're misusing religion to satisfy their selfish desires.

I curse them; may they suffer in hell forever. I'm sure God sees all their evil deeds. As for those male chauvinistic pigs who insist on their specious superiority, I feel sure that they will too burn in the lake of fire...forever and ever and ever. How nice.

It'll be August tomorrow: July will never come back till next year. Time seems to fly past this year. Frankly, I can't remember almost everything that took place during the upper half of the year. As far as I recall, there was much unhappiness and sorrow.

I'm not going to look back anymore. What's over is over. The problem with depressed people is that they persist in looking back. I don't study history anymore; it makes moving forward all the more difficult.

Right now, I'm extremely tempted to be resentful...it's evident that some classes are favoured more than others. But if I allow myself to be like that, I'll end up hateful and warped. So I'm not going to be resentful. I shall just content myself with disliking them. But seriously, I won't have anything to do with them again.

I've taken 3 tests in a day before, so I have nothing to fear. With God, All things are possible. 213 days!

30/7

Truly, God never ends in defeat. I got an A1 for my A.math test!! And it's all because I did my best and God did the rest. Still, I was careless...so I'll have to be more careful in future. But somehow I've regained my pace: I'll show them!!

I'm not going to let someone else upstart me. No matter what happens, I'll do my best. It's the least a student can do, after all. This time I'll make sure to thrash them!! Even with 8 subjects, I will be able to win out against their 7.

All things are possible because I believe. Life is like a wave at times, or perhaps a sine curve. There will be ups and downs, but I always believe that things will turn out right in the end. No, I know that they will. After all, God's the Ruler yet.

212 days

28/7

Somehow it seems like I've cut all ties with my classmates from primary school and lower secondary. Not that I'm complaining about it. I've always preferred my piano and computer to people. I see them every single day and I never tire of them! It's different with people at times.

It's a great feeling, to be able to master a piece and play it almost flawlessly. At least I haven't wasted my time. I do wonder...people always say that I'm 'cold' and unemotional, but I know all too well how friendships dissolve and how transient and flimsy they can be.

So it's useless. There are so many things in life that are useless. And yet, I once tried them out. Perhaps it would be right to say that I've learnt my lesson. Hopefully this jaded attitude doesn't wear off; I kind of like it.

I've started learning the first song in the grade 5 pieces book. I believe, with sufficient practice and the determination to succeed, I will get at least 27/30 for it. I seriously aim to finish grade 8 by the end of my JC years.

I will show others that it is possible for someone to take just over 5 years to attain grade 8. One doesn't need to start early to be good. Skill comes from 'talent' and ample practice.

I feel that this autumn's anime season will be great. Robotics; Notes, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai and Little Busters! And maybe more!

210 days

24/7

Coasts, report writing and trigonometry...you CAN'T dampen my spirits no matter what you throw at me! Be it R-formulae or some other thing, I choose to be happy. The joy of the Lord is my strength.

I have like 3 tests tomorrow, but I'm not going to get all pessimistic and sad. I've memorised all the formulae and now I'm revising my geography. It sure is a long chapter, with both soft and hard engineering to learn. But I'll pull through; I KNOW that.

The victory has already been won, so there isn't anything to be afraid of. See how great God is.

I was really frustrated during the last 2 periods of school today, but when I alighted from the bus and beheld the trees on the sidewalk, so tranquil-looking and calm, all the anger dissipated. God is wonderful...He's put so much beauty into this world.

In Christ alone, my hope is found...

I'll do my best and leave the rest to God.

...

I can sympathize with Oshima-san from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun...I know how it feels when there's no one to 'partner up' with for physical ed. lessons. I don't hate physical ed., but I really, really detest those lessons.

Which reminds me, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is getting will be airing in the fall! Somehow it makes me happy. How should I put this...I feel like Mizutani Shizuku at times. I don't really care about class matters or the like, though I don't really study very hard. But I like to read reference books and encyclopedias alone (as in no other human presence beside me).

I'm bored...

But still, thank God for His blessings, because He has brought me through today. 201 days.

16/7

Some people are weird...they are supposed to be Chritians but they say such scary and vulgar things and behave in a really funny way.

I don't profess to be perfect; all humans are imperfect, but at least I don't spew dialect or that F-word...it's not right as a Christian. But then, who am I to judge? Let God to the judging, because He's the Ruler!

I've nothing more to say; 198 days. Thank God!!

15/7

Message today was absolutely wonderful! In Christ, there is nothing to fear. No problem is too big for God; He rules over ALL problems.

There was this song that we sang in church...it sort of touched me. I looked the song up, and I've found that its title is 'Overcome'. It's simple but awesome.

School life is hard and a real chore, but with God we can smile at the storm, no matter what it may be. Jesus died for EVERYONE, and he lives forevermore. That's why I don't have to be afraid of tests and exams and whatnot.

197 days into 2012, I think.

12/7

I can't comprehend how having a fringe can give others a 'bad impression' of you. 'Mirror foreheads' are such turn-offs. To me, this is the problem of Asian society. They always stress the word 'discipline', with some people giving extra emphasis ie. 'discipline'.

Discipline is not about having extremely neat hairstyles or conforming totally; the thing about asian society is that it encourages conformity, not individuality. Probably that stupid Confucius's fault. What an idiot he was.

There isn't anything wrong with having bangs or a fringe; I simply cannot understand why I have to push all the hair covering my forehead up to one side. Ultimately, it's just all self-righteous talk.

~~
Anyway, I have started revising for my tests! yay tests! Usually I detest them horribly, but this semester is an exception. I've got something i want to do and I'll work towards it. (too many I's)

And on one Wednesday there's English, A.math and Geography. Talk about the most unholy of combinations. But what's got to be done has to be done. I expected something like that anyway.

Guess I'm starting to get bored.

10/7

Midweek will arrive tomorrow!! Time passes whether you're caught up in a whirlwind of work or relaxing and frittering your time away.

Sometimes, the journey to the end is terribly drawn-out and tiring, but at the end there's definitely victory. As Christians, we can run the race with certainty that victory is ours. With God, it's righteousness, nor religion.

The test period will commence next week; I'm determined that I will lose to NO ONE. All things are possible...there isn't such thing as no full marks for math or no A1s for language. With God, nothing is impossible.

God bless everyone; 192 days.

"And though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet".  --This is my Father's World

Being a student in Singapore is hard...with things like trigonometry in both A.math and E.math, all those chemical formulae for Chemistry, extra lessons and whatnot. Sometimes, everything seems so terrible and hard.

But I'll never forget that this is God's wonderful world. The shining stars, the gentle wind, the mellow sun...God speaks to us in so many things. And so we must never, ever lose heart!

To me, math isn't easy, but the battle is not done. So long as I keep doing my best, God will prove Himself. He's never ever failed me once. We have to endure till Jesus comes. As our faces are different, our needs and problems are different. But all the same we have to endure!!

I pray a little prayer for all the Christians in the world, that we may find joy in the midst of adversity because we know that our God is greater than ALL our problems. I pray that we all endure bravely till the Lord Jesus comes!

191 days into 2012, thank God.

This is my Father's World (English Hymn)

This is my Father's world,
 and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres. 
This is my Father's world: 
I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
his hand the wonders wrought.

 This is my Father's world,
the birds their carols raise,
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their maker's praise. 
This is my Father's world: 
he shines in all that's fair;
in the rustling grass I hear him pass;
he speaks to me everywhere.

 This is my Father's world. 
O let me ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet. 
This is my Father's world: 
why should my heart be sad? 
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! 
God reigns; let the earth be glad!

'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened' --- Dr. Seuss

Many a time I've wondered why good times have to end. Why don't the nice things stay constant in life? But now, I won't cry anymore...but I'll smile because they happened. God was gracious enough to let me have those good times, and I'm grateful.

So I'll smile because all those good times took place. With this, I believe I can face the future with unblemished strength. There're always things to look forward to in life. Terrorists and natural disasters exist, but so does mercy and grace.

After all, the fact that we're here means that we have something to strive for. It's different for everyone, but I do believe that we'll find happiness again along the way. ^ ^

3/7

And so it's July...the hottest month of the entire year along with August. There'll definitely be some dog-nights when I'll think about all the slurs I've received in my life and get upset over them one by one. But never mind that.

The thing that has been annoying me for the past 7 months is the harsh fact that everyone seems to be pining their hopes on that class. Candidly speaking, it sickens me. It's always ___ this and ___ that. For goodness sake, I believe that every class has the same ability.

What a sad thing that elitism still exists in this world. To be sure, my world is rather small, but that's the point. It isn't fair that some classes should get 'advantages'. I speak from personal experience, but this year it has grated on my nerves more than ever before.

And that is why I shall endeavour to get that back. Nothing is impossible with God. If you do your best, then He'll definitely do the rest. I don't doubt Him, because He's always proven Himself. That's why, I'm going to commence operation 'C.C'.

Thank God for His blessings.

P.S. summer season for anime has officially started!!

彼たちが嫌いだよ。勝つだ，僕は！頑張ります！ 

sch

And so it has come to today. 46 days till the 1 week break in September. I guess there will be more homework and tests. As much as I detest tests, I'm looking forward to them. I want to get back to where I was. I just know that I'll get back there.

God has been good; I'm going on to grade 5 this week. No matter how busy I become, I'll never get disillusioned. I'll pretend to like math and science, but I wonder how long my little act can last. But I'll practice anyway.

Piano as well. I'll make sure I do my best and spite all the spiteful cats that abound. By my birthday I'll see if all I have set out to do has come to pass.

I'm not a math person but that won't stop me from getting A1s for math. It'll gratify some and astonish the rest. I'll prove that I'm multi-talented.

School is both a chore and a bore, but I know that in November I'll have all the free time I want after conquer 'O's. Of course, I'll study hard, but I'll play hard as well. I have to say goodbye to anime till Friday comes.

But, Thank God for His blessings. He'll definitely see you through if you believe. 176 days.

22/6

On one hand I don't want to go back to school and that place. On another hand, I want to go back and do my best. Life's strange sometimes...

Steins;Gate is a seriously awesome anime; the story is multi-layered, deep and entrancing. It isn't like Kobato or Chihayafuru but I still love it. It's really easy to love some anime, isn't it?

I don't get why we have to study both E.math and A.math in school. Candidly speaking, I don't see how logarithms will help me to interact with people in society better. It's just a horrible jumble of irrational numbers and all.

I also don't see how partial fractions will ever help me to converse with foreigners. Maybe learning about the Butterfly effect and chaos theory will help me in future, but I really don't see how partial fractions can. I don't aspire to be a mathematician...

Why can't we study Economics in secondary school, I wonder. The Butterfly effect is shown in Steins; Gate and it's far more engaging than numbers. I guess I'm not at home with math.

But all the same to defeat spiteful cats one must endure. I believe and know that I can win out, and so it shall be. There's a great power in believing!!

chihayafuru ^ ^

Chihayafuru's season 2 has beeen announced!! :)

I'm over the moon right now...more Chihaya, more Taichi, more Kana-chan and more KARUTA. Thank God for hearing my prayers! He's awesome.

Tari Tari's second promo has been streamed as well: I'm really, really anticipating this summer!

feminist.

It's perfectly horrid how some babies are denied the chance to live -- just because they happen to be girls. Let me ask this question: What is wrong with not being a boy? Doesn't everyone have a right to life? Isn't it something given by God?

Although I am of Chinese descent, I hate my race dreadfully at times. In the past, baby girls born in China were smothered and then buried unceremoniously, just because they were girls. All the people who killed those babies mercilessly are experiencing the searing heat of hell-fire now, I suppose. It's their fault anyway.

Even Singapore does tend to ignore women's rights at times. The injustice sickens me. How many women actually hold leadership positions in society in Singapore? I know that M.C.Ps abound in Singapore, and one day they will all die terrible deaths.

M.C.P = Male Chauvinistic Pig. All will go to hell and experience hell-fire.

Expect nothing from M.C.Ps. They're all narrow-minded and shallow-minded fools.

Feminism isn't saying that women are superior: it's just condemning the discrimination that women and girls face. Feminism advocates equality in ALL areas. That reminds me, giving boys and girls the same opportunities is NOT enough.

That's why I strive unusually hard to achieve the best results: I want everyone at school to know that girls are great at studying as well...

I'm thankful to be living in Singapore, though. In other countries girls are denied an education. Some societies are just so warped...and the girls are often unable to voice their discontent or opinions. All the fault of the men. May they all suffer in ____.

A girl's place is not at home; she belongs outside just like everyone else. I don't care what people say, I loathe that damned confucious. Almost all his sayings, I feel, are nonsense and crap. All that about women at home and not taking charge.

I can safely say that he is burning in hell-fire now. I've never hated a historical figure so much. M.C.P alert!!

Already, though, the wind of change is blowing. Women and girls are striking back with full force. One day, I believe, this rotten world will change.

Hopefully, one day, women and girls in the world will be empowered and stand proud, knowing that they are men's equals.

1/6

I just realised that it's the first day of June today!! How time flies! The spring has waned and summer has more or less arrived.

But that aside, it's June 1, which means that it's Ayase Chihaya-chan's birthday!

誕生日おめでとうございます，千早チャン！

She should be a second year in high school, now, I think. I promised myself that I wouldn't watch Chihayafuru till after the End-Year exams, due to Taichi's awesomeness. If I can't measure up to that standard, then I'm not fit to watch it (in my opinion).

だから，私は頑張ります！

The dog days are coming, and in Singapore there's nearly no escape.

That reminds me, I've to study the chapter on Acids and Bases for my Chemistry later, do inverse matrix in simultaneous equations for A.math, do algebra for E.math...and learn my 3 languages. Plus do notes on Coasts for Geography.

Part 1 of the 3-part-plan has commenced. I'll beat them flat when term 3 arrives. I positively hate people rubbing things in, so I'll show them to shut up and stop wagging their malicious tongues. 絶対絶対勝つです！

So I'll do my best, like how Izumi Konata-chan seems to be doing.

~annoying people~

Some people think that they're being 'helpful', but they're merely a nag and a border. I really hate awful nags...they can't understand your sentiments and it annoys me excessively...till no end.

Narrow-minded people should just keep to their own businesses. Teens aren't kids who don't know what to do. Nagging isn't helping: it's very, very annoying to others.

I learn 3 languages, practise my music, do a little math, read up on science and read for fun everyday...and I have to endure such nagging. It can be really trying at times. (I am using the word 'really' too many times).

For goodness sake, it's evil to force one's ideas upon others. A holiday is a holiday and I will contrive to enjoy it.

26/5

Anime...anime...anime...

Durarara!! is awesome, especially Orihara Izaya! I heard his parody of Renai Circulation online and was in fits over it. I may be a girl but shounen anime is wonderful too; I'm not one of those who only like romantic-comedies or dramas. Mecha is great too, like Code Geass.

http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/18700000/Durarara-durarara-18739205-900-600.jpg

I can't wait for the summer, but meanwhile I'm doing my best and studying as well as practising my music. A.math, chemistry, Geography...I'll conquer them all. But in life, it's always good to have something to look forward to and enjoy.

My favourite currently-airing anime is Hyouka (though my all-time fav. is Code Geass). Translated, its name means frozen dessert (i.e ice cream). But it's just a pun. Oreki-san FTW.

http://wanabrar.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/22484-620x-Hyouka.jpg

just sharing something...

Again, I read this on Facebook, on the I love God page; I feel that it's really meaningful:

For every setback, God has already lined up a comeback.

I felt happy and thankful today, but this has made my day. Truly, God never ends in a negative. He's always good, so we must trust Him even if we don't understand what He is doing. I'm PROUD to be a CHRISTIAN. 私はクリスチャンです！ジサス様が信じる！

アニメの歌

あのアニメ…ソ．ラ．ノ．ヲ．ト．の　op　は本当にすごいだよ！私はカラフィナの歌，’光の旋律’が大好き！

I haven't watched the anime Sora no Woto though...but I know the music is wonderful. After all, it's Kajiura Yuki behind the soundtrack!

Anime songs are usually amazing, aren't they? Currently my favourite songs are

 -Hyouka's 'Yasashisa no Riyuu 優しさの理由' by Choucho,

-Natsuiro Kiseki's 'Ashita E no Kaerimichi 明日への帰り道' by Sphere

-Chihayafuru's 'Otome no Koi wa Choumusubi  少女の恋は蝶結び
' by Kayano Ai-san (Kana-chan's seiyuu)

-Sora no Woto's 'Hikari no Senritsu 光の旋律' by Kalafina

Still, I have my 'all-time' favourites, which include 'Soshite Ima そしていま' by Seto Asami-san, 'COLORS' by FLOW, 'Brave Song' by Tada Aoi-san and 'Ashita Kuru Hi あした来る日' by Hanazawa Kana-san.

Study...play...study...play: my routine for the break which has officially started.

P.S. I'll crush them during SA2: it's a promise

~Inspirational!~ ^ ^

I do NOT own this at all; it's on the I Love God Facebook page:

He Knows How It Ends. Sometimes I will record a football game and watch it when I get home later. Most times, I already know how the game ends. I’ve talked to friends or watched the news. I know my team wins. While I’m watching, I don’t get discouraged if my team falls behind. I don’t get uptight if it’s halftime and we still haven’t scored. I’m totally at peace. Why? I already know the outcome. The truth is that the further behind we fall, the more excited I am because that means a big comeback is on its way. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen. As believers, God has promised us victory. You may go through disappointments. At times, it seems like you’re far behind. But you’ve got to remind yourself, “God holds my future in the palm of His hand. He already knows the outcome. God never ends in defeat!” I’m going to come out of this better and stronger than ever before! Remember, He knows how it ends, and it ends in peace, joy and victory in every area of your life! Father God, how awesome You are! Thank You for declaring victory over my life. I choose to trust Your Word, even when I don’t understand. I trust that You are good and that my end shall be in victory in Jesus’ name! Amen. God bless!

 

How inspirational!! I feel totally at peace...that's true...the victory has already been won. That's why I know for sure, 5 months from now, I can safely say that that position will be mine. The battle ends in victory...we've just got to trust God.

 

He will definitely make a way.

self-imposed anime ban till Mid-October

I have decided to stop watching the following anime until October, after SA2, due to personal reasons.

1. Special A
2. Ouran High School Host Club
3. Chihayafuru

Only after I get my results back after EYE will I watch the above anime.

And so the holidays will arrive soon...only it won't really be a holiday like last November and December. I guess I'll have to start 'chionging' for SA2 to thrash them; it won't be easy but i just know that it is possible.

But I'll be sure to work as hard as I play. I'm going to revel in solitude next month, with God, novels, anime, manga, my piano and languages as my daily companions. It'll be fun on one hand...so I'm not going to be sad.

I'm grateful for everything I have, though I hope to achieve more. There's always a 'next time', though; I just have to keep pressing on!

But seriously, my path in life lies in the language, arts or music route...math is always my problem. But I will get a high mark for SA2: this I promise myself. And I will get that position: another promise.

15/5

There's been a great deal on my mind lately, and I somehow harbour deep resentment towards some people...in fact, I hate them. It's justified, but I hate hating people.

For one, my school is such a scientific school; the arts don't really get enough credit and it's always science, science or math, math. In fact, I'd say that the country is too scientific. Will we ever need to use algebra in the workforce as a general thing?

You probably will find it really rare to find a language or music prodigy at my school. It's always math this or science that. And I've had enough of this. It's simply too biased to others who like the arts better.

Rather, I feel that the entire Singaporean society is biased against the arts as a whole. They don't deem it worthwhile to read, they don't think it's good to learn a new language, they're mostly content to wallow in their science and math.

And of course, as a result, people who are good at math and science at school gain the upper hand. I just wish for my Junior College years to arrive quickly so I can leave science or math behind forever. But as of now, I have to see this through.

That's why I hate school so much; there's nothing much I'd like to learn in it. Sometimes life can be unfair, but I believe that if we continue pressing on all things are possible.

Then there's the case of the ferrari-taxi-motorcyxle accident. I feel really bad for the cabby and the Japanese lady, but somehow I don't feel a bit sorry for the other driver. He was the one who sped, so he's dead as a result. But in my eyes he's still a murderer who took innocent lives away.

The people I pity are his family, especially his wife. Being widowed after a few years must be really hard.

I know how it's like to fail after trying hard, but it's because of that that I can succeed. Ultimately, all success stems from despair. The person who succeeds the most is the one who was humiliated and insulted before. Success is born from despair, after all.

~~

Monday again...time is relentless in its passing. Less than 24 hours to go. But I know whom I have believed, so I'll smile till the end. Sometimes it's really hard to continue smiling; it's a choice at times.

I recently realised that 'Hyouka' means something like frozen dessert or ice cream. Fancy such a funny name for a cool anime with likeable characters! It's funny, somehow.

No inspiration is coming to me, and I shall just type in plain english today...

That reminds me, I think that Mitsuyu is a very pretty girl name; it means 'morning dew'. I like it so much that I've named a character of mine Mitsuyu. To be sure, it's a rare name.

Somehow, I feel really happy right now. Today has been a golden day in spite of the waiting (for results). The only thing that marred my mood was that rude and inconsiderate man and woman at Food Republic at Suntec... I think that they don't give (us) students the due respect we deserve.

The exhibition was great...everyone was friendly and chummy in spite of us being students and they professional working adults. At least there are still nice people in this world! After all, this is still God's wonderful world.

I'm going to be positive and believe God that He will do it. All things are possible because I believe! (:

2/5: before the fray ^ ^

In trying times, all we can do is believe God for the miracle. I know whom I have believed, so I won't fear. Exams are never, never easy...students have to overcome them. But even so, I know that I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

I don't know much, but this is an encouragement if you do believe. Just do your best and God will do the rest.

I've tried and studied

I've done my best

Now I leave all to God alone

And let Him do the rest

He will prove Himself, cos He's really good. Really, I know whom I have believed. (: All the best to everyone taking exams: they're inevitable anyway.

Listening to Yiruma's music never fails to put me at ease, especially River Flows in You and Kiss the Rain. But then, I adore Hope as well. That guy has pure talent.

School is terrible and there're so many annoying things in this world, but thank God for the really beautiful and sublime things as well. Things like this kind of music, rainbows, showers in the evening, kindness and anime (for me) make life worth living.

All this shows that God is still the Ruler yet...and He'll always be. Come what may, just lift your eyes above all the filth that this world has and look at the things worth looking at.

There's always hope in this world for those who believe in it!!

It's SPRING!

As I type, the sakura in Japan are in full bloom: they really must be a sight to behold. The pink is almost impossible to describe...it's pale but not too pale and mellow but not too dark. Words do fail me at times, I guess.

Still, I'm not always over the moon when spring arrives...it merely means that the stupid Mid-year examinations are coming. Drat exams...they make me miserable. But I simply have to ace them.

But the mellow and rich beauty of autumn is definitely comparable to that of spring.

The sad thing is that the End-year examinations take place during the fall.

BUT...summer and winter are free from examinations. (yay!)

I'm taking a respite from studying (not that I study very hard). But breaks are needed.

105 days into 2012...I think so.

10/4

もういいですよ！ この学園が嫌い…本当に嫌いだよ。あのつまらないのビイル；好きじゃない。本当の友達がいません。

 

でも…いいえ…だからこそ私は諦めない。絶対に勝つ！それは約束です！これは新しいの始まる。

 

I can't believe that it's 6 months since I sat for SA2 2011. Time really flies. The seasons have passed...autumn gave way to winter and winter made way for spring. It doesn't matter that I didn't do as well as I wanted for term 1: this time I'll make sure I succeed.

 

After all, I promised. Surely we can't break promises; they were made on beautiful things. With the blithe blooming flowers, I will take what's rightfully mine...

Trusting

Sometimes in life, we seem to be crushed by so many problems and troubles. Things in life might seem so hard, and at times I wonder why I'm even here. In the midst of the most terrifying battles, we all can experience peace if we allow God to take the highest place.

www.biblestudyspace.com/profiles/blogs/castin.

There are so many things I don't understand in this world, but I really trust God to take care of things. He's been with me through the darkest points and brightest points in my life, and I know that He'll see me through tomorrow and till Jesus comes.

If you truly believe and ask God to come into your life, He will. God is greater than A.math...God is greater than physics...God is greater than failure...God is greater than ALL our problems. With God there is always a way, and all we need is faith.

I realised one more thing this year: it's not our merit that counts, but God's mercy. God's grace is sufficient for everyone; He's always good. If you've done your part, He'll fight the battle for you. I believe God...He's proven Himself countless of times.

With faith, I feel that I can continue fighting the good fight till Jesus comes.

W.I.N

This is it: I'm going to CRUSH them all. I've had enough smugness...if only time would fly faster than it's doing so now. But never mind that...I'll be able to leave this school soon enough. Ever since I was a 7 year old in primary 1 I felt that I was disinterested in school.

All I go there for is to make the grade; all my hobbies are not found at school anyway. Piano, singing, Japanese, otaku habits, calligraphy...school doesn't really offer things like that. That's why I want to get out ASAP.

SA1 is approaching, and with the blooming flowers I will reclaim my title. I promised, so I shan't lose.

勝つ！絶対に

私は諦めない

 I'll show them, since I've had enough of hearing those words. After all, I can do it if I try :)

I shall not watch any spring 2012 anime on weekdays until the MYE examinations are over. Before MYE there're like over 5 tests, with E.math tomorrow... It's terrible but inevitable. But I'm happy about one thing: I've FINALLY found my footing. Since I'm technically a 3rd-year starting today, I've faced up to reality.

I take A.math, S.S, Lit, Chemistry and all those other subjects from now on! I'm not in denial anymore: this is the truth. Now I can finally start having the mindset of a secondary 3 student.

Since I have banned myself from anime till after MYE, I feel like posting anime pics.

私が…諦めない

確かに，物理学は難しい，でも私は諦めない! 今は，物理学が好きです. だから，頑張ります！

God heard my prayer, and now physics isn't as hard as it was before. I'm going to put in more effort! Initially, forces and pressure and all that were likes gibberish to me, but now I'm glad that I can understand them. Now I can safely say that

In school they call anyone who studies in class when there isn't a test a 'mugger'. Isn't that just plain demeaning? I'm sure there're many closet muggers in this school, though they claim that they do not 'mug'. I hate that word...it sounds crude somehow.

In S.A they don't call Hikari a 'mugger'...she's hardworking. Why is it that they call people who study 'muggers' here? I should be happy that I'll be out in less than 2 years, and I am. Then I can move on!

God bless.

Recently, I've been reading about the LRA (lords's resistance army) and polygamy. And my question: WHERE DOES IT SAY IN THE BIBLE TO RESORT TO VIOLENCE AND BE POLYGAMOUS? Obviously, Joseph Kony (whatever his name is) is a fake.

He claims to hear from God, but it's wholly a lie. He murders, commits sexual crimes, abducts children, resorts to violence etc. And yet he claims to be hearing from God. I hope he ends up in hell one day for all the things he's done (99% sure he is heading that way).

It's wrong to hate someone so much, but I really hate this guy. He abducts kids, forces them to kill their relations, brainwashes them and takes some as sex slaves. And he justifies all his immoral actions by saying a whole load of crap. Stop giving Christianity a bad name!

Still, there will always be people who give faiths a bad name...all sorts of faiths. There's bound to be some idiot who's not very sound. People like that just exist to bring trouble. LRA, terrorists...and a whole lot more of idiots.

But then, God's the ruler yet, and He always will be!

ちはやふる

Chihayafuru is like my second-favourite anime, after the amazing Code Geass...so I'd really hate to see it end. The manga's very popular, though...so the anime should be more popular! It's definitely better than some silly shows out there...

千早ちゃんは美少女です… 

http://mynime.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Chihayafuru.jpg

I'm seriously hoping for a second season...and though the chances are probably slim I still believe! There's a whole lot of power in trusting! Go Taichi, Chihaya, Arata!!

To begin with, I was already interested in haiku, hyakku isshin and the like. But karuta combines both speed and poetic meaning, in a sense. Sadly, it's only played in Japan. This series should be more popular: it has got great voice-acting, awesome music, interesting characters and epic games.

Maybe some anime-watchers don't like stuff like this? Don't tell me they like things like fanservice. Candidly speaking, I feel that fanservice sucks usually.

*Really have to beat'em for MYE.

19/3: press on

If I had given up last year after the mid-year examinations, I wouldn't have gotten my 1st placing, and I wouldn't have made it this far. So if I give up now, I'll lose my chance to place 1st again. That's why I'm absolutely NOT giving up!!!

私は諦めない！絶対に！数学は簡単じゃない，でもぐろりあちゃんは頑張ります！

I can't, can't, can't give up now! I just can't! The people who have supported me up till now will feel sad, won't they? So I've to keep going and do my best. Of course, my detractors are probably saying all sorts of disparaging things as I type this, but nothing's impossible because I believe!

With God, we'll always find victory in any circumstance. The darker the night is, the more beautiful the coming day.

School sucks: it's a fact that I've known since I started Secondary school. But strangely, I don't mind at all...why bother about things like that when there are much more beautiful things in this world, like these:

spectacular sunsets

That's why I don't really care if school's troublesome or boring; there are so many things outside school that are much more worth my time. Singapore is an extremely competitive society, but I'm thankful for the little things in life.

Indeed, it's the little things that make  my life (and hopefully yours) worth living...not a whole list of As on my report card. That's boring. But sadly, that talks in today's society. Students don't take the time to look at sunsets anymore; they pass by trees and don't notice the verdant leaves. That's sad.

Still, I'm grateful to God for so many pretty things in this world. This is a cruel world, but it's beautiful as well. Projects, activities, tests...they won't matter anymore once I graduate. And I have about 18 months left in this school before I can leave for GOOD.

And I won't be going back; this school has never likes me, nor have I liked it. Boy, I look forward saying 'Good riddance!'. It shan't be very, very long from now. JC is scores of times better than secondary school. Poly is as well.

School will pass away one day, along with geography, a.math, e.math, social studies, chemistry, physics and a whole lot of other stuff. They will never rear their ugly heads at me in future! Still, I pity them, so perhaps I'll look at them now. But I'm certain that I won't miss them.

Life is so much more than school. School is not education...it's merely schooling. Those are two wholly different things. Schooling is when you learn about logarithms, surds, moles, conflicts, forests (I love forests~) etc. Education is learning about life's important values and stuff like that. So, they are two polar opposites.

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." -Mark Twain. What a smart person he was.

~God keep everyone throughout the week~

Math is one of my problems...E.math and A.math. Why do we even need to study 2 maths? I don't see the school offering upper secondary students 2 humanities. Well, I guess they're biased, or maybe a little narrow-minded.

But still, math will one day pass away; that's one of my joys. In future, when the world will end, I won't have to see a single logarithmic equation or matrice! Seeing that it's such, maybe I'll be better off cherishing it now since I'll never see it again in future.

Wouldn't things be simple if I did the above? unfortunately, the teachers will mark me down if I did that.

本当に忙しい… 宿題が大嫌い! でも，数学が好きです。 

 

But I have absolutely no intention of throwing in the towel! I've got to see this through, since this is supposed to be a 2 year course. At least, that's what I've been hearing.

 

Geography and A.math isn't a romantic combination but I'll take it on, regardless. The joy of the strife, as they say! I usually back away from challenges as they sometimes bring out the worst in people, but in this case, I haven't any choice.

 

Come what may, you just can't look backward. So, I've instilled in myself the attitude of never looking back: what's over is over and nothing can be changed. But while time still flows, we have a chance to alter the future. There's always hope if you believe.

 

I know I'm random but I really adore this quote by Lelouch (Code Geass ^ ^)

 

~"Happiness is like glass.It may be all around you, yet be invisible.
But if u change your angle of viewing a little, then it will reflect light more beautifully than any other object around you."

27/2

I am convinced that being a student in Singapore is terrible. In my prosaic mood, I shall type in english today. But really, it's not much fun going to school. 

I dare to say this here:

I'm merely bidding my time till I can leave my current school and move on!!!

There! I've said it. It's 100% true, though...I can't wait to move on to Junior College. If only the high school system was used here! It sounds really nice to have 3 equal years of junior high and high school.

School's almost all about 'performing'; how I dread that word. But that's not the worst thing...I've heard that some schools (tertiary ones) actually 'strongly encourage' you to join the same activity that you were from when you were in Secondary school.

Isn't there any freedom of choice? What if one student were to get tired of being in the choir (eg.) and think of joining archery? The way I see it, he/she is not allowed to. How stifling it must be...and it's all for the school's gratification.

It must be really boring to have to stick to one activity for 6 years! 'Strongly encourage', in real terms, means 'forced'. That's what I've learnt this year. Freedom is one of the most important things in life; having the school tell you what activity to join seems very unfair.

Doesn't the management have any qualms? Those students didn't even enter through DSA! If that were the case, then it's mandatory to join that activity through which he/she came in. It's so ironic: the school says: "Students have a wide range of activities to choose from!" Piano Ensemble, Japanese club, Literary society, soccer etc.

BUT...

How many students, in reality, have that freedom of choice. So I think it can't be disputed that some schools (not all) are self-gratifying: it's a fact. Over 12 years in school has taught me this much.

Hopefully all this will change one day, but I fear that might only be a dream too good to come true.
