25 Billion dollars richer for an idea...

Would I be as famous as Mark Zuckerberg i.e. the founder of Facebook?
Never...pffftttt...
Watching 'The Social Network' really opened my eyes,
A simple idea,a seed, can really change people and,not forgetting the world..
The sophistication of that idea well,is a whole different story..
One can say i have this idea and plans to expand it...
But what if,another person takes that idea,and takes it into a whole new direction?
Carrying it to a higher level where normal people like you and me would never think off..
Id say,"Genius" but at some point," Isn't that stealing?"
In the end...who cares,you are already 25 billion dollars richer and all u have to do is pay 65 million bucks to the person u stole that idea from..
Simple?id say yes...

Growing up?

SPM's over...finally...after 11 years of studying in school,the uniforms,the wake-up-early system are finally gone... What'll I miss most,you ask? My pals of course.... Most of us going are our separate ways,different colleges, different people...ohhh im sure ill miss u guys from the bottom of my heart,no matter what nasty/disgusting/homosexual things u guys did to me.... dun worry,im such a forgiving person(oh my...),anyway,Biology was,well pretty not as smooth as i expected it to be,and instead of an A plus..im now just hoping i can get an A minus.. I really need that straight A's for my scholarship...,so God,please have mercy on me=)...
Im going off to college by January 2nd.. That means my holidays are only left with seven days(Darn!!),plus minus from cuzzie's wedding in SG...woo hoo!!Christmas in SG has got to be the best holiday ever..heck its only for 3 days... Oh well,better than nothing rite?
My goodness,how much time has passed....growing up sure takes a lot of hassle but its the inevitable.. I can no longer depend on my parents to do what's right for me..its all in my hands now.. To those out there who i wont be seeing anytime soon...i wish u a blessed life annnddddd MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

To whom it may be,
May not look like what it seems,
You just have to ponder and see,
That He's the key to your dreams.

So look up and never down,
The mistakes you do;never frown,
As the Lord keeps you safe and sound,
The faith in Him is all that counts.

ahhhh.....History??what's that..

Pheeeeeeewwwwww was the first expression i gave when i opened my history paper...why??
Well i could do almost all the essays of course...bt i really have to thank God for giving me a good memory and of course such supportive parents...without them,ill be over-paranoid and stuff..oh how much i love them...
By the way....to cut the long story short...SPM's a quarter way done... so yeah.a big relieve to me as major subs like BM and sej are over!!
Now.....BIO,im going to crush u out of revenge!!!muahahaha..
Hey mel...thx for supporting me all this while and dunt worry la,your dress will turn out nice ok!?hehe...
Anyway,bout 6 days b4 SPM starts...i pretty much did the unthinkable,i confessed my heart out... it aint easy,but i felt i need the guts to do it..
And the reply was...... well quite positive i think... and rather kinda motivating..
So to all those 5 HIJAU boys out there!!!remember theres a REUNION ON THE 22ND....U PAID FOR THE MAKAN SO U BETTER COME...thats all for today,all the best wishes i bid to all of u SPM geeks out there...

p.s. i might be going of to college on the 14th next year,probably UCSI...

The Finale~

I still cant believe how much time has passed since i was a kid...
I was just SEVEN mind you... and now 10 years forward,i still couldnt believe all that just passed by with ME not noticing it....
Mum's been asking a lot lately..."Where'd you wanna go for a future study?"
I'll be always saying,"Muuuuum,dont start up on this,will ya?"
Ohkayy.....im not a bad kid....just that its kinda stressful to think bout your future..esp with money involved.. but ive got a plan lately.... if i get that matrix scholarship and work hard to end up in UM.. my mum wouldn need to pay me a single cent..(provided i get straight A's)

Studying is one thing....relationships??ive been always hoping to get married,have a cool wife and kids...but my mum says i aint ready..well it does take some time to mature..but how do i know when??in the end...its up to God for the things i hope is to be decided by him..our world aint the world we see in INCEPTION(a real good movie peeps) where humans get to dream as long as they want and create their own world...if its that easy ppl dont have to work hard to get what they want anymore..just leave it to their dreams..

I stumbled upon this trailer when I was in the cinema..and was hoping it will be an awesome movie...

Disheartened....doing what is fair or what is right...

I've thought to myself,
what should i do
to achieve the almost impossible things in the world........
FATE decides that,thats what my mum would say,
what if Fate doesnt?BUMMER...............

I wont say anymore...
i leave it to God....

And yeah,let me confess something to you, when we meet, i feel real awkward,
something bout' u really makes me feel uncomfortable..
it feels like the air's so dense....

Anyway,
i respect u as a friend,
i hope i can get this jitterbug away from my body so
we could just have normal conversations....sorry
for talking the wrong things MOST of the time..^^

Its now or never....

It's June....
The sixth month of the year...
Mid year exams just passed,
Now SPM's drawing near..
I felt that time is real vicious to me..
But in the end its all up to me,
To make a choice,
To be the person ive ever dreamed on the most
or just continue depending on luck...

WELL guys,me here is in a dilemma,ive not started studying....
And thats a real problem,
coz if i dont,
well im gonna ruin my life and get stuck into form 6.....damnnnn
School starts tmr...semester break ends TODAY!!!!

well on a good note...i pray to God to forgive my whatever wrong doing and pick
me up from sliding down and keep focus on my future...

Therefore theres a list of things i wanna start today itself!!
1.CLEAN UP MY ROOM
2.REVAMP MY TUITION BAG(practically its filthy with candy wrappers)
3.Start mastering EST!!!!
4.Master BIO and SEJ!!

well practically i can settle num 1 and 2 in the short term but 3 and 4 in the long term
so by God's grace...i hope i would be able to make it..

ITS FATHER'S DAY today...!!!

Therefore to all dad's out there,have a great day and being the best dad u could ever be...

in JOEL's grace,LORD we pray....
AMEN...

GLEEKIFIED???

It was on a quiet evening,
A certain
tv advertisement
CAUGHT my eye...

And what do you know...its Glee!!
well,i was rather head over heels about that show...
it made me go nuts!

and before i know it..
im already a gleek by bedtime...

but to tell u the truth,
a few months back i wasnt reli supportive of that show
My frens were like"Hey jo,u watched Glee last nite?"
And ill be like huh??wads dat....
Then they told me that it was like high school musical in a series version

My first impression was ,"I bet its another gay kinda show"

But last week,i was proven wrong....
The show wasn reli much of drama and those choreographed dances
It was more of self-esteem and self realization kinda show..knowing
who u are and what you want in life...

WELL to those guys or gurls out there who thinks glee is another HSM spin-off..
I dare you to watch it,you won regret it i promise..youll laugh
at the very second u watch it,trust me..

Until next time....Seeee ya!

Do words like lambda or imperialism mesmerize you??
To me....imperialism sounds wayyyyy cooler than lambda...to those confused out there,
you may find the word 'imperialisme' in Sejarah text books in the very first chapter.
"How's form 5 so far?"mum asked...
"Full of crap,"i jokingly replied.

To be honest,
It's my last year in high school...

Hence,i feel that i need to end my school year with a bang...
THESE ARE THE LIST OF THINGS IM GOING TO ACHIEVE THIS YEAR:

1.have a band
2.get new spike shoes(priority)
3.change my glasses(yen!!when are ya gonna take me out)
4.learn to bball(awesome weh)
5.achieve king scout(log books suck!!)
6.learn to speak CHINESE??
7.study smart for my upcoming exams
8.start building me body(=P)
9.stop wasting too much money on fooddd!(aww man!)
10.PWN SPM...

I guess thats practically it,
before i go im gonna wish u guys out there a happy cny!!
and Gim,that was an awesome party..thx

From the guy who claims Spongebob is gay,
Yours truly,
JOEL LEE
