Tattoo

No wonder they say it's tough

I keep failing more and more

Why am I in JC, I must've been crazy:

School from eight to four

I wonder why I'm failing Maths

Should I give up and just take SATS?

The truth is my GC, doesn't make things easy

I used it and I got C,

Though I dy/dxed for so damn long

Read all information, did graph transformation--

Still got it wrong!

Can't waste time, I don't have a moment

Still on Part A, and my watch is broken

Need to worry bout Binomial Expansion

Stare at my foolscap with no comprehension

Don't look back; they'll nab you for cheating

And God forbid that they catch you eating!

Don't worry, I'll score just as badly as you

If you get a Fail, then I'll get that too

Yeah I'll get that too

Cuz I always get...U.

Adapted to the tune of Jordin Spark's "Tattoo"

Dedicated to Mr Terence Chia who's leaving NJ this year:

We nerdy, we good, we get straight A's to boot
Qiulin: I'm balding, no hair, that's why the guys all stare
Our progress reports contains Cs and Ds not
We mugging, so cool, we dominate the school
Who is he? Just guess
His MA beats the rest
He's the assassin that smiles, he likes to watch x-files!
He's flying, he jumps, with all his gymnastic chumps
Whoo!
His teaching's no bore, he helps us all to score
He's small but he's neat, he solves sums at top speed
We will miss you very much so don't forget us either

We're Chia-leaders!
We. Are. Chia-leaders!

The Nerd Condemnation

2008-10-26T04:21:00.000-07:00

A song about not being able to write anything other than songs about mugging:

Why are there so many songs about mugging?
And don't you two have a life?
Maybe you thought of it, but I don't believe it
Please find something new to write

So you've been told
But you will not believe it
I know you're wrong, wait and see
Someday you'll get it-- divine condemnation
From the muggers, the sluggers and meeee.

who said that every test would go delightfulleee
if you mug till the morning light
Cause I mugged till three- and I still scored three
marks and that's crap, all right?

What's so amazing?
you're not hesitating
to spoof the stereotype that is me

Cause someday you'll get bored
of bad progress reports
and I won't peer tutor you for free!

The Grey Escape

2008-10-02T19:06:00.000-07:00

Foreword:
ASS WEEK IS OVERRRRR! (!!)
on a celebratory note-- a new song.
enjoy, tag, leave love.

Math, chinese, biology
Tired of studying trigonometry
No more might
But there's still one more night

Let's count down till the clock strikes one
Then our papers will be done
5..4..3..2..1..

NOW THROW IT AWAY
Forget bout' that A
We'll flunk it anyway
Rise up, the kids in grey
Let's burn our books today

WATCH IT BURN
LET IT DIEEE
CUZ WE ARE FINALLY FREE TONIGHT!

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!

Linear Graph

2008-08-16T02:58:00.000-07:00

Look at this linear graph
Whoever said that Math was taff?
All you have to do is press GC
Key in y equals to x + 3

The other kids; they think they're cool
They like to stereotype our school
They say we're nerds and that they'll whoop our ass
Just wait- one day they're gonna pump our gas

They say we must zi qiang bu xi
Must set example cuz we are IP
They say that they mug more in Hwa Chong
But we are gonna prove them wrong
Ohhhh, ohhh, I...

Every memory of walking out the main gate
Complaining that the side's locked cuz it's really late
It's time to slug it, time to mug it
(must) score high
(must) score high

Every memory of mugging in the library
Cuz tomorrow got a lecture test in LT3
It's time to cram it; failed it, damn it
(must) score high
(must) score high

When there was D and U

2008-08-13T20:43:00.000-07:00

It's funny when you find yourself
Looking at the answers
Mine are wrong, so I wrote this song
To voice out my despair

Why did I let myself believe that I could actually pass this
My grades aren't fine, so let me whine-life is so unfair

I never thought that I would fail
I even gave up sleeping
I stayed up every night, till half past twoooo
Now everybody's seeing me
From Eng to Ling to Tan to Chia to Khoooo
Cause I got D and U

When there was D and U.

Low

2008-08-09T21:04:00.000-07:00

Dedicated to Qiulin of 07ip04:

She had the sparkly eyes that gleam
With no boobs and no fur
She had the whole crowd looking for her
Look at the floor!
Where did she go?
Shawty's too low low low low low low low

Foreword from we are paperplanes:
Hey y'all; Thanks for the comments-- keep them coming in! We'll be needing some new subject material soon.
Our latest song: The Slacker's version of Complicated (by Avril Lavigne).
Three choruses instead of the usual one.
Leave some love.

Complicated

2008-08-07T04:00:00.000-07:00

Chill out, whatcha mugging for?
Lay back, Ass Week's one week more
And if you could only let it be
You'll get a D
I like me the way I am
Who cares 'bout tests and exams?
Now Eng's talking to me one on one,
cuz I've become

A regular goof, who's got time to spoof
Singers so cool, they're long outta school
Our teachers despair,
But we couldn't care at all

Tell me
Why'd you hafta go and make Bio so complicated?
I really do not wanna know how my mummy and daddy mated
But life's like this, you
You mug more, you can't score, you study, get a C, yes you do
But Bio's just too--
Full of terms like eggs and sperms
Who cares when they look like germs-- I hate it.
Bio-ohhh.

Tell me!
Why'd you hafta go and make Math so complicated?
No, I do not see why you have to dy/dx and integrate it
Binomial's worse, you
N choose one, N choose two, you say wrong, I say Nuuu; try again
But it's still the same 'cause
Honestly you never told me
That I had to permutate it
Trigo-ohhh.

WHY ME!
Life in school is so uncool it's makin' me so agitated
I really thought my GPA was quite okay
I don't know how you calculate it!
To make things worse, I'll
Get retained, and get caned, mugged so much, got weight gain, fail NAPFA
and Menon says ha!
I'm still young, this ain't no fun
Please I'd rather get abducted
Whoa-ohhh

adapted from "Complicated - Avril Lavigne"

We'll be here for you (tribute to juniors)

2008-07-30T10:02:00.000-07:00

So no one told you
Life was gonna be this way
You've left your secondary school
Now you're in NJ
Don't fret don't worry don't you start to fear
Cause this is your chance to shine
To start a fresh and brand new year

So we'll be here for you
When the work starts to pile
We'll be here for you
In our cool ohfour style
We'll be here for you
Cause we've been through it too

You're still awake at two
There's still so much to do
You're working everyday
For that perfect GPA
Nobody warned you there'd be days like these
But did you really think that life in NJ would be such a breeze

But we'll be here for you
Through all tests and all trials
We'll be here for you
Running every mile
We'll be here for you
Cause we've been through it too

Go Revise

2008-07-30T09:52:00.000-07:00

I'm sitting here in class
Eyelids drooping to the ground
I'm seeing Eng's mouth move
But I just can't hear a sound

You put me in Omega
Then you see my grades go down, away
You tell me go and study
But my grades won't turn around, no A

And now it's too late to go revise
It's too late
It's too late to go revise
It's too late

I'll take another shot
Take a chance, but I still get U
4 out of 20
Seems to be the best I can do
I don't seem to get better
Even though I'm IP2, you say
"Sorry can't go out
Got remedial on half day" (no way!)

But now it's too late to go revise
It's too late

It's a hard knock life

2008-07-30T09:50:00.000-07:00

It's a hard knock life for us
It's a hard knock life for us
'Stead of playing, we get work
'Stead of boyfriends, we get jerks
It's a hard knock life

Don't it feel like the wind is always howling
Don't it feel feel like the work, it never ends
Once a day don't you wanna throw the towel in
And cry in the toilet with your friends

No one cares if your eyes at night get weepy
No one cares if you fail or if you pass
No one cares if in class you're very sleepy
You feel like such an arse!

adapted from "It's a hard knock life - Annie"

Flabelos

2008-07-30T09:41:00.000-07:00

It's out with the flabs
And in with the abs
Goodbye spare arm meat
Hello slim physique
A dip in the pool
A trip to the gym
Endless days on the track
All just to get rid of the fat

Treadmills imported from England
Weighing scales imported from Spain
Trainers imported from Turkey
No turkey imported from Maine
It's time to relax and lose weight
Flabs. I. Hate.

She needs Flabelos
That is her simple request
Just one Flabelos
To help get rid of her flabs
She needs a little exercize to help her lose some weight
She needs a little Flabelos before it's too late

Alpha! Beta! Gamma! Delta!

Percolation definition
Makes the nerds go gaga
You calling them a nerd
They call you a mutha-----
You can see me, you can't beat me
I got 4 As, you've got 1 D
I've got reasons why i'm readin'
That's to beat you every season

Percolation (definition)
But I ain't tellin' you
Cause if I tell you anything
You'll get the same grade too
Percolation (condensation)
Make the nerds go hey hey!
And they'll be lining down the way
Just to see my GPA

A! A! A! A!

The Geeks Get The Grades

2008-07-30T08:24:00.000-07:00

Another Friday night
You're going mugging right
At the library you see me trotting over
What you gonna do
I got more books than you
I've mugged everywhere from Tampines to Dover

We're nerds to the power of infiniteeee
Try as hard as you like, you can't mug like meeee

Tonight tonight I always get it right
I'm not loser, I don't need luck on my side
All the nerds and their oversized heads
Mugging all around the world
Cause the geeks get the grades
