Worried Sick
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you doTime Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it allEven more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Today was officially homework day cos I really chiong through the holiday homework. Not that i finished all of them, but at least its getting there. Opps is it Sunday already? I sure lost track of time then! Anyway the staff of Raffles Instititution are really understanding, and they should understand the burdens of a 15 year old teen. Extension anyone? YEA YEA dream on Eugene! Someone kill me please cos I really don't want to go back to school. ):

Goodbye world, tomorrow is school, what a bummer. I hope my phone doesn't get confiscated, like it always does. Maybe I shall constantly remind myself to message on the table so it ain't that obvious, haha, okay enough enough
2nd Article: Going online is not all fun and games.
Taken from The Straits Times, Sat, 23rd June 2007. Saturday Section Page S10.
Recently, there has been an increase in gaming addiction among youths. Especially youths who often bored because they're not heavily involved in extra co-cirrcular activities. This can be seen by the many counsellors who have seen and up rise in youths seeking help for gaming addiction. According to experts, this is a worrying trend because they worry of the potential harm these games may cause to the children.
One of the main worries about interactive games is, children may meet the wrong kinds of people. Being young at inexperienced, children may pick up undesirable habits or behaviour from them. The most common would be the learning of vulgarities and using them in their everyday context. Some parents might be surprised that their kids are using vulgarities at free will at such a young age. However not many know that in the dark, mysterious world of online gaming, these words are used so often, it has been universally accepted among gamers. Not surprisingly, kids will think its acceptable to use profound language in their daily lives, because gaming has already been rooted into their minds.
Another common worry is that, when kids become addicted to online gaming, their social life takes a major step back. They start to neglect their studies and avoid outdoor activities. Relationships with their loved ones will be greatly affected. This is because, these handful of kids only think about their cyber world and characters. Physically they may be present in school. But their mind is drifting off to their cyber world, thinking of ways to play the computer as soon as possible.
Many kids turn to online gaming not only because its fun to play with, but also because gamers will accept them for their ability not their outward appearance. Taunting and teasing in schools are common among kids. Some may be more sensitive to it, and feel like society does not accept them. Hence, they turn to online gaming, where nobody can see their outward appearance. These kids are not judged as how they might be in their daily lives. Thats another good reason why online gaming is so addictive and luring to our kids these days.
I do believe that online gaming is most appropriate for kids to play. However certain good gaming habits must be practised to ensure that its safe for kids to play with. Parents should place the computer at places where they can monitor their kids playing games. In this way, kids will know that they are under supervision, and will not play the games excessively. Another way is for parents to limit the playing time, and have a timetable set up. Homework, sports and aesthetics should be of utmost priority, which will limit the time spent infront of the screen. Gaming should never exceed more than 1 hour daily.
Let us work together to help kids and their gaming addiction.
:)
Hi Ms Yong. This is my new blog. I kinda forgot the password to my previous one. Sorry for the late notice, I'll inform you when school reopens. Oh thats tomorrow actually. :)
My article is taken from the Straits Times, 19/3/07. I don't have the link but i read it and i feel this article is very current with teenagers and the society today.
Title: Parents, beware the emo kids.
Before we move on, let us first examine the definition of 'emo' and the characteristics of emo kids. Emo is derived from the word emotional. This new fad is creating quite a stir among the youths here in Singapore. Emo teens are usually decked in shirts with dark colours, a little undersize, and dark skinny jeans. Shirts may have words in red or colours which remind others of pain and anger, screaming out withnin their broken heart. Ironically, the choice of footwear is Converse Canvas sneakers. In my opinion, these range of sneakers are affordable to most teens and are available in many colours, hence the popular choice. However, the most underlying characteristics would have to be the dark, lined eyes and also the long fringed hair which at times, cover the eyes. A extreme case would be teens piercing their lips, tongue and other undesirable body parts.
This new youth culture is picking up popularity simply because of the media and easy availibility of emo culture. Up and coming rock bands like My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte and even Fall Out Boy produce hits worldwide that are popular with teens. They get to hear their songs daily on the radios, with so many stations playing their songs at a time. The scary thing is, these songs are usually about anger-filled hatred towards society, or rejection and tormentation. Idolised by many, these bands send out strong messages to their faithful listeners, which the bulk are teens. Hence, teens follow blindly and the foundation for this wave of 'emo' teens is formed. Some try to express rejection by self-mutilation. Slit wrists are all very common in today's society.
Step into Far East Shopping Centre or Bugis, and you'll quickly realise that many of the shops cater to teen's needs. Unlike our parents of yesterday, the 'money-spenders' of society are teens. We have the spending power, and the wants which are at times, difficult to fuifill. Shops here sell trendy clothes, and many have wide varietys of emo clothes. This makes it easier for teens to purchase clothes of close resemblance to their idols.
In my opinion, I find the reation of society towards this new emo fad to be rather surprising. After all, I believe that this is just a fashion or maybe culture to follow. Growing up as a teen is never easy. With one's hormones raging, many struggle to find their identity, or fully understand themselves and their body. I'm sure many people can identify with me. Teens will always need company. Some may feel left out, others struggling to cope with the stress of this competitive society. Emo is a good way to express themselves, to let out all their sorrows, to let the public know about the pressure these teens are facing. I would not consider myself emo, but i know of many friends who are. I can understand their pain, and I really consider this to be part of 'growing up'. Take girl's school for example. Female teens growing through puberty may feel the can identify better with youths of the same sex. Hence, they think that they are fast becoming lesbians. However, once they mature, and come to understand their own body better, they rationalise and begin to grow out of it. I believe this emo fad would follow somewhere along the same line. However, there are definitely some areas where i don't agree on. Self-mutilation or even suicide is not a solution out. These acts inflict more pain on the youth, which starts a vicious cycle of pain and anguish. When that happens, parents should be aware of their child's daily activities, and seek counselling immediately. Teens got to ensure that they do not follow wrong influences blindly because the consequences may be devastating.

Haha i cannot take it already, i must blog again. This is fast becoming an addiction, which is a good thing cos most of my blogs don't last.
And and and, my dad bought me a 300 dollar shirt. I swear its damn nice. Black too. Oooohhh, i can just imagine myself wearing that already.
Baby, you just made my night so much sweeter !
Someone called me bubble boy, I think its quite funny actually. But then again, my old blog title does sound really funny and gay. Whatever :)
Shiz, i didn't go for RCIY today. Mass too. Stupid holiday homework. Walao i'm a bad catholic and i don't like that. How to be priest like that?
I'm going to pick daddy from the airport. Honestly, i missed him. :) No late night suppers for 1 week. And worse, no allowance. :(
It’s as if I’m scared.It’s as if I’m terrified.It’s as if I'm scared.It’s as if I’m playing with fire
Yea when i see the look on Yu Lao Shi's face on monday.
So much for our friendship the last few years, now i know that best friends don't last but true friends do.
My appetite really sucks, one moment its good, the other its a total blah. Damn how am i gonna put on more weight like that? My mum said she thought i was aneroxic, I'm not okay!
Just went through my trophies, cos i was finding a place to put my u15 silver. Yea just realised how hard we worked to win the c div gold last year. Sheesh its almost been a year already but i can still remember every single bit of it. :)
School's starting, and thats gonna suck. Luckily we don't have school on Thursday and Friday.
I wanna go RCIY tomorrow! And mass too!
Baby, i really miss talking to you on the phone. Maybe its cos i can't express it to you, but do know that i miss you, and still love you more and more each day.
This blog is gonna stay, i'll make sure i update it :)
U15 finals, we lost 2-1. I think its not bad. Balu was suspended, we played pretty well. And i fell so many times, my whole knee is scratched with cuts and bruises. Not that it matters anyway. I know i could have done better, and score the goal slightly earlier. Nevermind, next year B div i'll work harder. And to everybody in my team, i'm not sad. Just a little dissapointed with myself.
Thanks for coming dear, and ned too. And Gor too. Really appreciated it. Yea i like support *hint hint*
Okay i'm getting a background for this blog. And a tagboard please. I will learn how to do it. Thats a promise. How many promises have i broken?
