THE SYAHIR YOU (didn't) KNOW http://croakingreen.multiply.com/ hello. my name's SYAHIR. the only way you can spell it but there are tons of ways you can pronounce it. yup. don't mind any, as long as it doesn't sound sumthing like "sai he" (shit river in chinese.) well, thanks for dropping by to know more about me and to read the recounts of my life, the lessons i've learnt and listening to my monthly song compositions. yup. :) don't forget to leave a message behind before you leave! :) Thu, 5 Jun 2008 08:37:15 -0000 Wed, 2 Apr 2008 12:33:00 -0000 THE SYAHIR YOU (didn't) KNOW http://images.croakingreen.multiply.com/logo http://croakingreen.multiply.com 100 100 what's wrong? I, to some extent, regret coming to AC. Like seriously... It's not culture shock, nor is it stress, but it's the sheer fact that I don't really know who I can trust. I'm not at all trying to sound as if I'm wallowing in self-pity or making you think I want you to sympathise with me, but really, I don't have friends that I can trust. Well, I had but yea. I thought making friends in AC would be a breeze for me, but that's what I thought. I don't know why, but whatever I say will trigger one's aggressive emotion, cause their blood to boil and reveal the inner-devil within their pseudo-warm-hearts. But when another person says the EXACT same thing I said nothing happens? HOW ABOUT THAT? Okay, yes, I do sound like I'm bitching, but it is REALLY unfair. You know what I mean... Geez. Kk, let's look at the seemingly possible reasons why they treat me like a pail of mud. (No pun intended -to Yiren if you're reading this) 1) They're jealous 'cos I'm a 20 pointer, I appealed in second intake and I g... http://croakingreen.multiply.com/journal/item/58/whats_wrong Wed, 2 Apr 2008 12:33:00 -0000 testing my patience. Finally Y.C's over. My team didn't win for a very very very good reason, they didn't put in as much effort as i did for the team. Well, there are a few who did, but there's no "a few" in TEAM, is there... But nonetheless, I did had a great time with the assists. Nicki finally came back after a really long time!

Wanted to go out for a movie with the team, but Ma says no 'cos i haven't been home since Tuesday. Haha! So yeah. But today's kinda productive. Finally got Functions in my brain... I think. okay.

Had another Empower U during the weekend and lost my voice yet again, not surprisingly. My group inevitably won again and man that makes it 4 wins in a row! Congratulations Doggies! Honestly, you guys did an awesome job. The ASSISTS on the other hand was equally enthusiastic, energetic, powderfully full on, funny, crazy and wacky! FRIDAY: ACJC's 122nd Founders Day! Yay! 2 and a half hours... man. Heh. On the other hand, I would want to be on stage receiving an award next year... maybe 2... or 3? Hahah! After the event, I met Chee and we talked a bit. Then I left with DEPers to IKEA for lunch. It was utterly expansive the food there. Really. But REALLY REALLY NICE! Heh. Then we went shopping at Queensway Shopping Centre. I got myself a pair of Puma court shoes for school and 3 pairs of boxers for Derek's belated B'day, New Year and Valentines' Day gift. Then I had to head back to Bouna Vista for Empower U. Blablabla... nothing really interesting happened that day. Missed everyone. Yea.

I can't really think of other 'E' adjectives. But then again, it's really quite apt, considering the fact that erm... you don't wanna know. AC DEP is oh-my-gosh-li-ness-ly awesome! Today's kinda like the first time I get to mingle around with them and they are a very convivial, talented, noisy bunch of super-fun kids! We went to the museum today to view the Greek artifacts so that we have a better idea of the Greek history for our Greek plays. I can't really say anything much here 'cos I've got quite alot of work to do now. HAHA! http://croakingreen.multiply.com/journal/item/55/ov_er_Dramatic_Erotic_People.

Well, more like, MORE WORK AND NO TIME TO BLOG. Life's been awesome I tell ya. TODAY: Apparently we are supposed to dress-up for Chinese New Year this week. We WERE told last week, but I was like, "aah... that can wait." Then yesterday came and I panicked. I opened my brother's closet and saw something red and little did I know that the 'costume' I took was actually a punjabi suit. Yay! So yeah, you've guessed it. People were like, "eh, Syahir, wrong occasion!". And I'm like, "err... multi-racial?" Thank Heavens I only had 2 classes and I finished work at 1pm. I gymed after that. I think from now on, after work, I'll go to the gym. It's free... AND IT'S IN HILTON HOTEL! Just next to my workplace. Oh, and I tried steam-bathing today. It was AWESOME. I've got the room all to myself and ooo.... serenity! Then I shat, and headed home. When I got home, I randomly decided to clean up my area once again. And from there, I cleaned my book cabinet and my drawer as ... http://croakingreen.multiply.com/journal/item/51/recognising_appreciation. Tue, 5 Feb 2008 10:47:00 -0000 you'd be dying to know. Sorry for not posting last night. Reached home relatively late, and the moment I was home, I took out the JAE book and started selecting the schools and diploma courses I'm interested in. 12 choices - 6 JCs, 6 Diploma Courses. 20 raw score for L1R5. 16 raw score for L1R4. Before I was called by Osgodby to collect my results, I was sitting next to Sophia, top N(A) student. We were talking about stuff that I could vaguely remember 'cos my mind was preoccupied with the thought of MY result. Osgodby, by the way, is my English cum form teacher. He's beyond 1/2 a century but nonetheless, damn cool! He's Brit and amazingly funny. He plays football (rugby we call it locally) in UK.... many many years ago, and was my rugby coach in 2003, before it closed down a month after I join. AND NO IT'S NOT MY FAULT! Osgodby: Ah.. Shiea-hear (that IS how he pronounces my name. Add your own Brit accent). Me: Hi Mr. Osgodby. Osgodby: (smiles like there was no tomorrow I tell you) Congratulations.

Somehow, the clock seem to move much much slower than usual today. Woke up at 6.30 today because I forgot to switch off my cell's morning alarm. And it took me about an hour to get back to sleep. When I woke up at 6.30, there were blood stains (again) on my pillow. I REALLY WONDER WHY. A part of me is (once again) incredulous of my gender. HAHA! That was a joke okay. This is the part where you laugh... MOVING ON, I realise that my lips were bleeding when I stick my tongue out to wet my lips. But I did nothing and went back to sleep, which was at 7.30. Thanks MERV and SARAH for the sms. (: I woke up an hour and a half later because my brother switched on the TV. Then I showered and suddenly realise that TODAY IS THE DAY! Then there I was in the bathroom, imagining myself giving a speech on my school's speech day, as a valedictorian. And suddenly I "woke" up because I realised that I made quite a number of mistakes on most of my papers. But what the f@*$. WHAT'S DONE IS DONE BABEHHH! And I... http://croakingreen.multiply.com/journal/item/45/time_please_do_your_job. Thu, 24 Jan 2008 02:47:00 -0000 we will wait upon the Lord. I know this song since I was in primary one: Pack up your troubles in your Old kit-bag and smile, smile, smile. While in your work You come upon a test, Smile boys that's the style. What's the use of worrying? It's never worth the while... SO! Pack up your troubles in your Old kit-bag and smile, smile, smile. And I realise that, yeah. WHAT'S THERE TO WORRY ABOUT? I mean, to put it in spiritual sense, Matthew 6:33 clearly states "but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you". What do I think "kingdom of God" and "His righteousness" mean you may ask, 'cos all these seem so conceptual? Well, to put it in lay-man's term, the kingdom of God simply means to be at peace, where nothing else but God as our ultimate focus and thus, to look to God only. "Righteousness" is defined as the quality or state of being upright or moral. Thus, if we seek God's righteousness first, that means we are following, or in fact, allowing God to do His job becau... http://croakingreen.multiply.com/journal/item/46/we_will_wait_upon_the_Lord. Wed, 23 Jan 2008 11:30:00 -0000 and to think I was fine. ha! I woke up today thinking I was alright 'cos once again, I took various medicine, that apparently didn't work. My head was thumping again, now even harder and "painfull-er". I put on my beloved PUMA uniform: Green and white Puma polo-tee with the collar flipped up, cotton on shorts, Puma watch and Puma shoes. HAHA! I simply love Puma. CAN'T YOU TELL? But the pain was excruciating. I "dragged" myself to work and when I reached, I was 9/10th dead. I was on the verge of just collapsing. I finished my first class, but skipped the second one and went to the doctor (like, FINALLY RIGHT). So I called my boss and told her that I needed to see a doctor like, URGENTLY 'cos I felt like my right eye was popping out anytime soon. And yea, thank God she picked up and found a replacement for me. I made my way to the G.P at Liat Towers, the one just before you enter the back of Borders. YES, that one. Yeah, same old procedure.

Yes, I'm here to complain about me being sick, and to let to you know that Panadols DO NOT WORK ON ME. Yesterday, yeah I was sick. And in the evening, I felt, err... a little better, but the "sickly" feeling was still there. When I woke up today, I thought: "oh yeah... I'm healed." BUT NO... After showering, I went to NTUC to buy groceries, return rented DVD's and rent 2 more DVD's. As I was walking to Civic Centre, my head was spinning like mad, but i continued on. Errands done and walked back home, with a very annoying thump on the edge of my right eyebrow, close to my eye. I thought it'll just go away, BUT NO... I got home, watched the DVD I rented: "The Freedom Writers". It was awesome. I think the movie deserve to win some academy award or others of that ilk. MOVING ON, while watching, my head was thumping and simultaneously, a sharp sensation injected at the same spot. It was super annoying I must say, and painful. I made sporadic pauses, went to the kitchen to dampen my ever-so ... http://croakingreen.multiply.com/journal/item/48/panadols_dont_work. Mon, 21 Jan 2008 10:53:00 -0000 again i change.

(Hasn't been in use for quite some time for that matter.) Hello again blogspot. I've been sick. It's not like some minor flu or conjunctivitis. IT IS FLU AND CONJUNCTIVITIS. It really is taking a toll on my life. I haven't been at my tip-top shape in class and I think I've been spreading vicious diseases to the kids. Irresponsible me, heh.

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I'M NOT WORRIED ONE BIT. (no sarcasm intended... not at all.) Just thinking about it makes my muscle tense up and my heart beat like there's no tomorrow.

Yeah. Sorry for the really late post-o-level post. Have been rather busy with life... I think. My brain stopped functioning today. Heh. Well, I guess O's were relatively easier than prelims. Just that I think I didn't put in my 110%. BAHHH! It's over... No use thinking too much. But then again, I think I think much more now than I think before O's. HAHA! Like, not only thinking about the results but much more... Like, what can I do during the holidays, now that I don't have any homework or assignments to complete... BANG! BEFORE I KNOW IT, it's December today. What have I done so far? I've assisted a Young Champ programme, 2 Empower U's, work (with little kids who are really adorable and sarcasm is non-existent in their lives so we can poke fun ON them while they are oblivious to the fact that we are actually laughing at them), church and church camp, study Philosophy knowing that one day it'll be rather useful and and and of course many many sleeep.

No guarantee of getting my A1's. HURRR! but then again, thought that most of the papers were quite managable. No reason to be worried about. but then again, if it's too easy then there might be careless mistakes. but then again, they might give compassion marks. but then again, they might moderate up.
