Navigations Are At The Top.
Seems like the happy Glenn now, is going back to the old moodless Glenn in the past bit by bit. Its not about that thing, its about something else. Its about a friendship with my friends. I seriously don't want to graduate Jurongville with losing a close friend of mine or any close friends. I want to have a happy graduation and not a sad graduation. I want to treasure my friendship with all of my closest friends I have. Without them, I will not be what I am today. I will be like one loner and always a loner, but this time I am change because I have such great friends. Without friends, its meaningless to live because no one wants to be lonely all the time.
I really want to thank god for giving me such great friends because they are always there by my side if I feeling down or I am in need. Thank You!!!
Hope I still have my friends with me by my side.
That's all I gonna say...

Today..
Was the start of my prelim examinations, and my first paper I start off is English. Did quite fine for paper one as I wrote a lot, but I think I out of point for my composition as I wrote my phobia was watching horror film. I think I really totally wrote out of point. For Letter Writing, I wrote a lot and exceeded the amount of words that we need to write. For paper 2, I think I flunked at it as I don't know one or two questions and I didn't finish my summary as when I was doing half way, I had a very bad stomachache and went to the toilet. Not only that, when I was thinking of an answer for one question, I suddenly fell asleep.
After the papers today, rushed home and asked my maid to help me bring out my Joey Jordison Drumsticks and headed to Henderson Building to buy a new pair of Lars Ulrich Signature Drumsticks, which cost me $66, a new pair of Ahead gloves, which cost me $68, and a Ahead Stick Bag, which cost me $48. After getting my stuffs at the shop, went to ask the shop owner how much a metronome. After he told me the price, I will start saving up and get one and also two practice pedals which cost $68 each, and also Travis Smith, Trivium Drummer, Signature Drumsticks.
After getting my stuffs, went back to school and stayed in the band room and practice with my new Lars Ulrich Signature Drumsticks and trying out the new Ahead gloves while waiting for Eelin as I owed her a treat. When Eelin finished her sectional practice, we packed up and went to McDonald's and treat her a muffin, a brownie and a Mocha Fruppee a McCafe. The both of us chatted a lot and when it was 6pm, we went back home.
Happy to get my drum equipments...SUPER HAPPY!!!
That's all Folks!!!

Today is finally my birthday...
Waited so long for this moment to come. First thing when I switched on my phone, received so many messages from my friends wishing me Happy Birthday!!! Then when I reached school, my classmates wished me. Wherever I go, my friends will wish me and this is the first time I receive so many wishes from my friends. Super Happy!!! But I felt kinda sad as some of my friends forgotten about my birthday. Sadded!!!
Never Mind!!! After school, had my English O Level Oral Exam, but before I start, Eelin and Sery came and gave me a big card for my birthday, and I think I done quite well in my oral as I talked a lot i this oral exam. This is my first time talking a lot during Oral Exams. After Oral, was suppose to go back home, but in the end my mum called me and asked me to join her at Jurong East as she needs to see the doctor.
After that, went back home and prepare to go out for dinner. Ate normally but drank a lot of water as I was so damn thirsty after the Oral Exam. After that, went back home and cut my birthday cake.
So that's about today... and THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE LOVELY CARD!!!
ILY!!

Man!!! Yesterday and today are the most tiring days I ever had...
Yesterday, during P.E., played soccer with seven of my classmates, and we played until most of us, including me, perspired like hell. Our heads were so wet and so does our P.E. T-shirts until some of our other classmates ask us whether did we just came out from a shower. After school, went straight to band room and sat outside to wait for the keys. While waiting, was warming up after following some warm-up skills from some professional drummers that I watched in YouTube. When the keys were taken, went in to the room, switched on the air conditioners and continue to do my warm-up. After my warm-up, went to listen to one song from my iPod named, Kirisute Gomen, from Trivium and followed the rhythms of the drums for warming up my legs and hands too.
After listening for awhile, suddenly remembered that I left my P.E. T-shirt in the class room and the entire class were in the hall having a meeting with Mr Quake, so I had to wait until my chairman had finished the meeting as she is holding on to the keys.
So while waiting, went to the canteen with some other band members and joined them. When it was time to go up to the band room, all performers went up. After the band had warmed-up, we rehearsed the songs that we were going to play for the ASEAN Tennis Opening. The ban played Final Countdown, Silent Movie, Around the World in Eighty Measures, Thunderer, Fanfare and Eres Tu. When I heard that we are playing Final Countdown, I had a lot of new ideas, as in new rhythms, in my head and played it out to give it a try. Not only I improvise Final Countdown, but also some others as well, and Hisyam played the bass drum with me as Desmond could not play it. After the quick rehearsal, went down to the concourse with the instruments and loaded them into the bus.
When we reached our destination, prepared everything in the Function Room in Jurong Country Club and start to have another rehearsal. While waiting for the rehearsal to start, Hisyam, Haziq and I kept on going o the restroom as the first time I went, my hand was bleeding. The second time was that we wanted to find water. The third time was that we went to watch ourselves up and went to bring some other band members to see "Heaven". Meaning is that when the three of us could not find any water and was told that there is water right at the end of the room, so there was a door and once we open it, the sunlight just gashed in and our eyes were kinda painful as though we just look at "Heaven". After the fun, went back and we started the rehearsal.
After the rehearsal, went back to school and was on the way out of the room, Mrs Chee asked Haziq and I to help to carry some instruments to her car. After helping, all of went back home.
Today, woke up around 4.50am to prepare for the performance today and was told to report in the band room by 6.30am. When I reached school and while waiting to retrieve the keys with Sery, Qiao Sian and Mrs Chee, Mrs Chee gave a small gift for thanking me to help out to perform with the band as there was no other percussionist left as the Sec 2s were having their Common Test. Once after retrieving the keys, went to band room and I started with my warm-up again. After this warm-up, my hands feel light and so does my legs. It really works. After the band had warmed up, we played Final Countdown again as Mrs Chee wanted to hear the song again as my improvising of the song was too much, but she liked it and told me to try to simplify it, but I asked her what if I can't, she told me to try as my standard is very high. After that quick rehearsal, everyone was rushing down to the concourse unprepared as we were late and all of us were rushing.
Once got to the same place, had one dry-run before the actual one starts. While waiting to start the dry-run, all of us had some muffins as some of us had bought them from Felyna and some were given by Mrs Chee as a treat. After a few hours later, the dry-run started. After the dry-run, rest for awhile and then, the actual performance started. After the performance, the percussions including Hisyam were told to sit and I suddenly just fell asleep as I was super damn tired and sleepy. After awhile later, we were told that we could eat the food from the buffet. After that, all of us started to pack up and head back to school.
In school, I was told that I am suppose to take a POA test and I was unprepared and was super tired, so I was told to take it after school. After school, took the test, and I think I am going to fail for sure as I am kinda weak in General Journal. After that, stayed back in school to study while waiting for the band to finish. After the band were released, Vania, Eelin, Shaffiqah and I went to the bubble tea shop just right opposite our school. Once after we gotten our drinks, all of us went back home.
WOOOWWW!!! What a tiring two days for me!!!
So that's it....

Today,
Its National Day Celebration and also Band Graduation Day, that means this will be the last time I am going to the band until my O levels are over. "Sigh"... Gonna miss the band soooo muchhh!!! And also _____!!!
Before school starts, went to band once after I reached school as I want to put my stuffs in the band room than bringing them to class because my classmates will ask me things and tease me as well. After school, went straight to the band room to get change into our Full Band Uniform with Kamarul and some of the other guys.
After changing and everything done, all the Sec 4s and 5s stayed in the band room as we were told that we couldn't go into the training room until everything is done in the training room. Once everything is done, all Graduates falled in. After falling in, all graduates stood in positions and wait for the arrival of Mrs Hiew, our Vice-Principal, and also wait for Mrs Hiew speech to finish before getting our plagues and certificates. After getting our plagues and certificates, all guest, teachers and graduates went for their lunch first then come to rest of the band members.
During lunch, ate together with my bestest buddy, Kamarul, Melvin and Haizul, and we had a great chat and laughter. After lunch, went back to the training room and sat right where the Sec Ones were sitting to start the performance and all. Every performance that the juniors and a few of the graduates had put up for us were great. (To all performers who perform today, all of you had done a great and marvelous performance) After the performance, was slide showing time. During the slide show, was touching and it brings back the memories with all the photos. After the slide show, went to take the gifts in the band room and settled down back in the training room.
When its time to give out the gifts, I stayed at my place was rushing in passing my I.O.U slips and writing some of the members who I have not gotten any gifts for them. A thousand apologies to those who never receive any gifts from me. Really Sorry!!! WOW!!! This year had received more gifts than last year, and most of the gifts are candies and chocolates. Think I am going to be fat again. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Just playing. Thank You all so much for giving me the wonder gifts. Will appreciate all the great memories that all of you had given me, I won't forget it. I will treasure it until I die.
After giving out all the gifts and I.O.U slips, sat together with my section and popping up balloons as there are sweets in the balloons. After popping the balloons and collected the sweets inside, went back to the band room to prepare to go home. While doing so, went out to take section photos. After taking them, went to the red table behind the bookshop and wait for _____ to come down to collect _____birthday present.
After that, took a couple of pictures with ____ and some other band members. Had a great time taking pictures with them as this will be my last and final year with them, so by taking those pictures, will make me remember them forever.
After that, waited for Vania and the rest and went back home. When I reached home, went to take a quick shower and changed and went out to catch The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor movie at Vivo City Gold Class with my parents. The show was great and I don't mind watching it again.
So that's all about today..."Jumping all over the place"!!!

Finally I recovered from my flu and sore throat..."HAPPY HAPPY!!!"
Today is Cross-Country and will be my last Cross Country ever. Before that, met with Vania and Eelin at Bukit Batok Station. While waiting, met Lowell and he join me to wait for the two sisters. After they came, we met up with Sery at Chinese Garden. While waiting for Sery to reach, Khair came and waited together with us. When Sery arrived, all of us went in.
While waiting for our level to start running, because the system this year will only start level after level as in Sec One and Two will start first, followed by the Sec Threes then the Fours and Fives, some of my classmates and I went to talk with Mr Goh outside. When its our turn, went to have a warm-up session and after that, all the Sec Fours and Fives start running.
Shi Han, Guo Rong and I were trying to find space to start running as every one is walking. Once after we found, the three of us started running. The three of us passed by a lot of the Sec threes and awhile later, Shi Han slowed down a little and Guo Rong and I were just in front of him. After awhile later, Guo Rong slowed down and Shi Han catch up. So among most of the entire run, Shi Han and I were always running together., but during my last last round, I slowed down as my rips were very painful, and Shi Han continued to run.
Awhile later, Chye Poh catch up with me as I was walking in pain. When Chye Poh ran beside me, the both of us jogged and I controlled the pain until to a certain distance, I walked again. Then when I was going to reach to the finishing line, I sprint all the way there even my rips was so damn painful.
After I finished my run, went to drink Milo and I drank about 6 cups as I was super thirsty. Awhile later, I decided to get myself a 100 plus instead of Milo as my salt level is running low. When I wanted to buy, YiXiu. However, I drank only half a can as I felt like throwing out, and the rest I gave to Khai Seng.
After the whole thing end, I rushed back home to get money and to gt changed as I was damn hot and sweaty. After everything I had done, I went to meet up with Sery and Eelin at Jurong East Interchange and went to Causeway Point to met up with some Deyi band majors to pass them the invitations to our Graduation Day tomorrow. Before meeting up with them, went to eat at Burger King as I was super hungry. After giving the invitations, went to Causeway Point to find my "thing" and Eelin and Sery's Graduation Gifts. After that, went to IMM to find my "thing" and both Sery and Eelin's Graduation Gifts as we can't find anything from Causeway Point, except for Sery's wrappers. At IMM, got my "thing" and went to IKEA as Sery and Eelin cannot find anything at IMM.
On the way there, took a lot of buses as we didn't know what bus to take outside IMM Bus-stop. When we reached IKEA, had a lot of laughter and fun walking around IKEA. And I must say, IKEA really change a lot. After that, Sery went home while me and Eelin went t West Mall as our quest for Graduation stuffs are not done.
After getting everything, we went home.
That's all I gonna say..Super tired.
Graduation Day is tomorrow and MAN!!! Didn't finish getting my Graduation Gifts.
IMY!!!

Man!!! Being sick sucks!!!
Past two days, had a really really bad flu and a sore throat. Had difficult time breathing and eating because whatever I eat, it will be tasteless. I don't even know how I became sick as I exercised every single day and eat and drink normally. Hope this flu and sore throat go away fast!!! Because I want the energy to run for Cross-Country which is this coming Thursday and also for my training or work out.
Not only that, had been crying whenever I am bathing for the past three days. I don't even know why I suddenly cry just like that. Is it because of the feeling that I had which made me had a flashback??? ARGHHH!!! MAN!!!
That's all I gonna say here.

Now...where should I start??? HHHHMMMMMM!!!!
Oh Yeah!!! Monday...Nothing much happened..Had normal lessons and also English Remedial..Tuesday..Same as Monday and had both Science Practical Remedial...and stayed with Deon to wait for the band to be back from the Asian School Shoot Out Rehearsal..so while waiting, studied for like 2 hours and then waited at the concourse. While at the concourse, Deon went to play soccer with his friends. After awhile later, I joined in, and when I joined in, the band came back. Wednesday, had LCCI Book Keeping Exam and was kinda fine. After that, went to meet up with Deon at the basket ball court and went home. When walking back to my house, met up with my childhood friend, ho we always play at the playground wen we were very young, but I forgotten her name but she remembered me. Sad!!! We didn't keep touch for about 6 years already, but until on that day. Thursday, had normal lessons, but at the last period, many things had happen, a few of my classmates valuables were stolen and the entire 5N1 went looking the entire school for the things.
Today...went to band after school as I wanted to try on two basses, so asked Khai Seng to help me to bring over the band room drum set over to band store o combine together with the black old drum set. But sad thing is, I suck because the drum set sizes are different so I had problems playing, another thing is the pedal as I measured the same length of the spring for both pedals, but the force needed were different, and lastly, the position for the Hit-Hat is also difficult for me play on. While playing, I was perspiring a lot and my t-shirt was totally wet. After playing the short while because I suck and its difficult for me to play. Think I prefer my Pearl Eliminator Double Pedal and playing on the drums at the studio with my band. After that, went to play a bit of what Khai Seng, Hisham and Farhan thought of on the guitar. Was playing for awhile, and Khai Seng and I went down to have our lunch. After our lunch, went back to the band store and continued playing on the guitar. This time, I played for a long time to practice my fingers. After that, Khai seng played and the both of us went near to the drum set and we improvise whatever Khai Seng played on the guitar. Awhile later, we swap places. Had a lot of fun. While playing, the entire school blacked out, so Khai Seng and I went near trombone section as they wanted to hear W.E.L.C.O.M.E from my phone, and I was still practicing. Later, Mandy and Eelin joined me and Khai Seng. After a few hours later, we stopped and I went to the band room to see my juniors doing their percussion music test. After that, all of us went home.
So that's all about today..
Still kinda depressed a little...
IMY!!!
