the days of my life -

2009-01-06T22:30:00.002+08:00

been a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggg time since i've last updated.. life seems to be more happening now i guess.. ever since my last post, there was my cousin's wedding at marina mandarin on the 24th, which happens to be christmas eve too.. indeed a very nice day they had picked but sadly on such occasions, i had to leave halfway to help out at 7-11.. then had a cycling session with 09/07 peeps at east coast park, met up with some modestians too to catch twilight at marina square.. but of all, the most unforgettable one will be the 6-1 sentosa outing.. yep, after 6 six years or probably 7, we're still in contact and as close as we could be.. in my point of view, it's closer than in secondary school and college.. had loads of fun out at the beach, with the weather being rather scorching hot.. i'm amazed by the number who turned up and even amazed to see how things had changed or not after such a long period..

then came the new year! the year 2009, where most of the guys of my batch will be enlisting into the famous pulau tekong BMT school.. i used most because there's a number who went in last year in december.. i'm not an exception too but mine's in march, probably about 2 more months left.. this time, my new year was spent in 7-11 again.. i went in at 7pm, i left at 8am.. cool shit.. for the first time in my whole life, i never knew that the store could get so so so so packed.. alcohol, liquor and cigarettes were the best sellers and the queues were long non-stop.. it was very very tiring, but after the end of the day, there is always this sense of accomplishment.. collected a record breaking 15k just for that day alone (but subsequent days were like shit, according to my mum)..

hmm, there was a basketball chalet too organised by the juniors.. zhi hao and i were the only seniors that crashed.. had a fun session out there.. met pin rui, shane and ryan there as their chalet was also nearby.. had a 6-1 dinner halfway through the chalet too.. ok, that was pretty much, as far as i could remember..

lastly, the most important one was i finally got my new bike! woots! a 2009 series cannondale f5! it's a 27-speed hardtail bike which cost a hefty 1200 bucks but it's value for money anyway.. the bike is now my wife, hoping to ride it as much as possible before i enlist!

2008-12-21T02:49:00.002+08:00

work had been busy as always.. ranging from the least 8 hours to 11, the most.. today was a day which i worked for 8 hours.. from 4pm till near 1am.. i hate weekends simply because there are so many people, lolx.. it's kind of stressful when u see such a situation, feels terrible too.. saw some familiar faces days ago.. the first was shan zhi, he called me.. and oh my, i almost couldn't recognise him in his number 4.. he was out just a week after enlisting into day 1 of bmt.. and today, saw pong, he's flying to hong kong today.. bon voyage pong! and the last surprise was that i met christine.. haha.. a secondary school friend and oh my, i also couldn't recognise her because 1. i haven't seen her for a long while and 2. i've only seen her on civilian wear once.. haha.. treated her and her bf/friend/brother (either which is correct) some drinks.. and then it was 12+am when i finally realised when i looked at my phone.. did mug for my final theory test too, which happens to fall on 12th jan.. there will be a primary school class outing soon on the 26th.. hope it will be fun.. lastly, work is on again for me starting from 4pm.. hope it's just a pleasant day again.. no, it must be..

first, it was 5 years back, then it was 3 years and then there is now.. how low can life really get? i really didn't know i would be like that even though there were times that really left me felt left out.. maybe i'm too sensitive? i can still remember in secondary 1, and then 3 and now, year 2, it all had the same feeling, why? all of those who were once close are now slowly drifting away.. did i do anything wrong to deserve this? ballers in secondary school were like that, ballers in college weren't any different.. well, it doesn't make any difference to them i guess.. classmates in secondary school were like that, classmates in college were also the same.. it's kind of frustrating to have this feeling, but i'm strong enough to overcome it.. but please, if that's the case of what i think is really true, don't act it, just hit it directly to me.. sometimes, some of your acts are so easy to see through.. not saying it out doesn't mean i don't know it.. i'm a human and for goodness' sake, i'll know it for sure.. and this post, i would really want to dedicate to some who i knew for years.. once so close as friends but now like foes.. i appreciate the happy moments but since you've made it so clear to call it quits, i accept it.. but next time when you do so to another person, do it straight in the face, don't drag it like a pussy..

2008-12-18T23:25:00.002+08:00

have not been blogging for slightly more than 2 weeks already mainly because my internet was done and i was at work.. not quite a happening period, following a routine each passing day.. the most recent event would be the gathering at mrs chua's house just moments ago when we left.. not quite enjoyable to me with that feeling of something boring and empty kept bugging me.. feel quite bad to pang seh the ballers at times due to work, but i know, and they know it doesn't make much a difference to them anyway, i believe.. work had been tiring and tough too.. 8 to 10 hours a shift, or maybe even more on certain days.. knocked out once it's time to knock off.. probably i should be a workaholic to drown all the troubles that i pretty hated them right from the start.. but no matter what, they still persist ultimately.. have been a regular at the arcade during this period too.. always there at around noon.. had no problems with the shooting machine with my standard currently 800+ at best, and a 770+ average.. currently hooked on to new games like jubeat and intial d 4.. i think there's nothing much more to mention..

2008-11-13T02:05:00.005+08:00

life had really been full of ups and downs for me.. especially these few weeks, i've really found what i need and what that is able to drive me and guide me through all my journeys - the purpose of my life..

if i only i could turn back time, i would have done lots of things that i ought to do but it's no use regretting now.. i can still vividly remember the first day i stepped into TJ and my first meeting with the basketball family.. no words can describe such an experience as this huge family is what that i really find a purpose in TJ.. soon enough, we'll be heading out to cambodia and i'm sure there's only got to be joy and more joy.. we've waited long enough for these days, be sure to cherish them..

if only i worked hard right from the start, i suppose i wouldn't be in such a miserable state.. to get out of it and rise again shall be what my life is all about.. i won't really be very disappointed or happy with any results i get because i earned it or deserved it.. what i really care now is how i can move on when i see them.. to walk the lonely and sad path is never my way of seeing things.. life's going to be pretty routine soon.. a's ending in 5 more days, NS enlistment on march 13th and i'm sure i'm going to get my license.. never to forget the rock band and arcade sessions that i may have in the future..

and if i could only turn time once, i would choose to go back to the very special day.. this time, i'll be really cherishing the opportunity and the blessing of knowing you.. we did have some fun moments but i hope to bring more fun then.. but saying this when i know it's pretty impossible shows how much it's hard to forget.. the mind is such a confusing and misleading object indeed..

back to reality, i just hope everything goes well and i'll be happy to live my life!

2008-11-08T21:49:00.003+08:00

i know the a's is still on but i don't feel like saying anything about it.. i'm really in no mood to do anything now..

it's really miserable to see someone how someone can feel so shattered when it comes to hearing and seeing unpleasant stuffs.. it's more or less the same to see how someone is being by so many obstacles and have to fight them alone to survive.. it's needless to say how i feel when that someone is you.. those are unpleasant memories that i wish and want to forget.. i tried hard but fate doesn't seem to give me a chance.. "is this karma? am i really that bad?" i always ask myself..

seriously speaking, i know who i am, and i don't need people like you to tell me that.. and when i hope to improve by changing, you are the culprits in stopping me.. should i thank you? i really love to change but to hear what was then considered to be your 'friends' say what they actually think of me as a person that i really do not wish to hear because i want that change, it's really pissing me off.. it really shows how people are like behind you.. but that was not the worse i had came to realise yet.. imagine you had a friend of many years and you had been deceived, how would you feel.. i admit i may be very talkative and i know lots of people but doesn't mean i can't keep secrets or i will keep spreading stuffs that shouldn't be said as and when i like it.. be it in class or in school, it's all happening.. i'm sick of this.. i mean being a friend of so many years, is this really how you think of me? am i really still the same? when people know about your matters, your first suspect is me that had spread? FUCK YOU and go eat some shit, you asshole.. so much for being friends.. and it's because of such people, my life gets so screwed up, a job well done indeed if that's your cause..

maybe you can say i'm wrong, i'm such a loser, i'm hopeless but let me tell you.. i'm 18, old enough to do anything i want.. and times have changed and so do i.. knowing me years ago doesn't mean i will stay the same years after.. that's absolutely WRONG, damn it! it hurts so much, so so much, just to say things that i think i deserve not to hear..

have you also ever wondered why i look so cheerful everytime? it's because i'm an optimist.. i'll rather look of the bright side than looking on the dark side.. i can crack jokes, i'm funny and lame but not every joke you say to me is a joke.. i can take certain issues very seriously and that's when you piss me off.. so the best is not to take things for granted and never try to toy with my limit because when i'm crazy, i really don't know what i am going to do, given the fact that i'm also very impulsive..

i don't care what you think and what you say, this is how i feel and you can stay away from this.. nobody asked you to anyway..

2008-11-03T21:06:00.001+08:00

gp was today.. screwed.. prepared for the worst.. won't be surprised if it's really the case.. sian liao la..

2008-10-21T23:38:00.002+08:00

okay, time for some updates since the last post..

14th to 18th october:

i don't really remember much then but it had all been mugging at the usual locations such as airport, e!hub and white sands macdonalds during night time.. also had the occasional swims with shane and sam as always..

19th october:

mugged with shane and sam at the 3rd level cafe at e!hub (i don't really know the name of the cafe).. quite a nice place, nice seats for sure and 3 and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye (while mugging).. shows how productive we were that day.. headed for dinner at buddy hoagies (i don't know the name also).. went home to watch duke of mount deer and headed off to 'thon' at adri's house..

20th october:

switched on mugging mode for around another 2 hours plus before deciding to sleep at around 2+ am.. woke up at around 10+ am and had to meet han wee at kembangan mrt to meet the rest of the team for the vaccination jab @ changi general hospital.. lunch was at eighteen chefs where we shared lots of laughter.. then got to witness how cgh was so screwed up (again).. the jab was scheduled to be 12pm, then pushed to 1pm, so the team arrived at 1pm just to know that the nurses in charge of the jab was at a lunch break from 1pm to 2pm.. zzz.. practically wasting our time there.. luckily, i brought some papers to do.. had 3 jabs, 2 on the left and 1 on the right which made my left arm feel so sore that it's still bothering me now.. went for a dip in the pool with shane and sam.. it was supposed to be a swim but i only did slightly more than 5 laps or so as the arm was really sore as mentioned.. mugged with desmond at white sands macdonalds after that from 8pm to 11pm..

21st october:

had a freaking good rest and only woke up at 11+am.. joined pong, fad, des and adri at bedok macdonalds.. saw suzanne and shee ping (did i spell it right?).. then saw zhan hong and grace.. mugged from 2pm to 5+ as i made my way to school to play ball.. total turnoff because there was not much action and it started to rain and i was pissed off by the same guy as always.. can't help it.. zzz.. luckily there were the girls who randomly decided to dine at IKEA tampines.. spammed quite alot with me ended up paying near $15 because the drinks were my treat.. then the girls (ruby, hui san, shan min and clara) got so obsessed with some toys and decided to take some pictures.. slacked awhile walking around the IKEA warehouse before taking the shuttle service back home.. thanks to the 4 of you for asking me to tag along, if not i would be totally so screwed up.. went to white sands macdonalds to find desmond and fad, who was with her friend too.. crapped for some while and left.. and oh yea, des, adri and i had planned to go airport to go study tomorrow! let's spread the mugging fever! just 13 days left, don't know to be happy or to be sad..

2008-10-13T21:43:00.002+08:00

today is shara wong's 18th birthday, happy birthday shara! finally 18, which is a pretty cool age to be.. haha..

ok, today is also the farewell concert (entitled nostalgia) for the year 2s.. damn, i still can remember the days i first stepped into this college.. time really flies, maybe faster than anyone thinks.. 20 more days and it's the start of what i am here for - the big a's.. okay, back to concert.. it was supposed to be a very emotional one but somehow, i wasn't feeling how it was supposed to be.. but i'm very glad of the various brilliant performances put up by the tutors - mr low singing (jay chou's song somemore, an edited version); ms norsheha dancing; more tutors singing, etc.. thanks to all tutors for their efforts.. concert ended at around 12 and a part of 09/07 went to the t3's popeyes for lunch.. felt quite bloated and adri, fad and i went to coffee bean in an attempt to mug.. i slept for 30 minutes because i was very tired.. mugged for around an hour and a half before heading back home to meet shane and sam for a swimming session.. this was the most intense one ever since we started.. we finally tried 20 laps at a go without stopping and it was pretty tiring, considering that we were so rusty in this sport.. headed back home for dinner then with nothing special coming up.. tomorrow's mock gp paper, and the next 2 days will be for mathematics.. hope this week will be a fulfilling one..

ps: eh huisan, it took you quite some time lo, when the answer was so obvious, lolx..

2008-10-11T17:11:00.002+08:00

it's here again.. i'm lacking the drive to mug now, of all times.. argh.. was slacking since yesterday.. skipped school because i couldn't wake up and tidied up my room with all the remaining time.. went to the arcade obviously, just to see that the pro is back.. the one thing that i noticed was that i've improved and he had also improved.. just when i was at his range, he went abit further and this time hitting 800.. well, that's why he's a pro, isn't it? did try to mug today, completed two physics papers after a session at the arcade as always.. and well, i'm here blogging again.. hope to be seriously mugging tomorrow.. i really don't want to regret when the big days are really over..

2008-10-09T21:58:00.003+08:00

can't really remember what i did these days.. was too busy and tired to blog with the curriculum going on.. i can only just remembering school was about camping in the library and my life was about running and swimming since the last post.. ran on monday, swam on tuesday and today.. speaking of swimming, it's a great workout.. 15 laps on tuesday and 25 today with my swimming partners shane and sam.. oh ya, and got to study at coffee bean @ e!hub on wednesday with adri.. saw a lot of tj people and a secondary school classmate.. yep, basically that's all, nothing much..

in the blink of an eye, the last day of curriculum is officially tomorrow and a's is just 20+ more days away.. time flies.. soon i'll be in cambodia with my pdp-mates and then to tekong to make new friends.. just can't wait until everything is over..

2008-10-03T22:38:00.002+08:00

ahh.. back again after some days.. just a recap of what happened recently and i'm too busy to upload any pictures for today..

went to school on tuesday to get back econs.. rather disappointing but my grades are like D,E,E,E and S, with maths being that S.. felt quite low that day so i played ball from 9 onwards.. all the way till 12.30 and it started to rain then.. basketball's really the only thing now that can really make me feel better but there's a limit to what it can do though.. studied in the canteen with some of my classmates till i received a call from swee liang.. martin and him were at white sand's burger king and asked if i wanted to tag along to have sakae buffet.. and guess what, i went.. wow, 2 buffets in 2 days - can die.. slept for damn long after that as usual..

wednesday was a public holiday! woots! so my family and i went down to downtown east to have lunch and singapore's first and only cum fish 'n' co's first of a kind fast food restaurant - fish 'n' co express.. quite worth it since the price is pretty reasonable and the fish they cook really owns.. have the fish and chips and you'll know.. went shopping after that, bought a new pair of shoes and lots of other stuff with me paying almost all in the end.. zzz.. slacked for a while at home and went to the arcade.. saw a guy shooting a higher 700+ than me, haven't seen him for long but he was there that day.. so i politely asked him for a game of doubles.. not that bad.. 900+ for our first 2 tries so it was alright..

school on thursday was boring.. nothing interesting at all but that was when my mugging fever started.. mugged at school's library before heading to white sands macdonalds to carry on mugging.. planned to 'thon' with adri at downtown macdonalds but apparently it was full, so we rushed over to loyang point since des said it was 24 hours.. and this is when all the nightmare came true.. reached loyang point promptly but all the doors were locked and we could see the lights of macdonalds still on.. so we walked the whole perimeter of loyang point, trying to find a way in but to no avail.. then we asked the staff how we could go in and the answer was "we're closed already.." ZOMG! win liao lo.. it wasn't 24 hours after all and there was no other places for us to mug.. we even tried the lamest resort to 'thon' at the void deck.. it was past midnight at that time so we had no choice to cab back to adri's house to carry out our mugging plan.. adri ko-ed soon at around 2+am while i continued till 5 when i really couldn't take it anymore.. we both woke up at around 12pm.. had dinner and continued mugging for a while before playing DDR and i headed home after that.. reached home and went out again to have a short swim at shane's house, a rather last minute decision.. dined at tampines with my family before going home again for the 2nd time of the day..

tomorrow's still undecided and i've only like got a short 30+ days left to mug for a's.. hope i'll be mugging and making full use of the time left from now on.. shall post when i'm free again..

2008-09-30T02:20:00.004+08:00

a nap that became some serious extended sleeping.. reached home slightly after 6pm today and decided to take a nap but ended up waking not too long before now, which was around 1.30am.. quite shiok but then it means that i need to do my work now, during late nights! that's when i study best but i hate it when i go to school in the morning.. the feeling sucks because i start to feel so shagged and i will just sleep..

ok, prior to this, there was school which obviously sucked as usual.. went to the library to do my own practice instead before meeting martin for a supposedly planned study trip at downtown east.. took 12 all the way and wee yang was with us too.. however, just when we walked past hei sushi, we looked at the time.. it was 3pm and there it goes, we went for tea time buffet since we all went without lunch.. and well, spent all the time eating and none on studying.. but it's well worth though, we ate quite alot but could have been more if not for martin's cold jokes that made all of us so shagged.. left only at around 5.30pm and we went for walk around e!hub..

before

after

i'm pretty sure the staff was quite stunned when they presented us with the quantity we ordered as shown in the 'before' picture.. we really spammed.. it was more than what was shown here.. and the 'after' spot was really the exact same spot and we took quite some time to finish them, which was around a whopping 20+ plates at a go..

martin with his stupid pose.. (he had lamer poses before that).. but look at the number of plates that were stacked - that was by martin alone! haha..

ok, so that was it for the buffet, so the 3 of us went walking around e!hub to digest our food because we were freaking full.. saw mr ng on the way and asked him what he was doing here and to my surprise he was actually here for a bowling game with mr low and mr ngoh!

here's the evidence! lolx..

mr ng was really good and so were mr ngoh and mr low.. mr ngoh was rather consistent and mr low just had so much strength.. and mr ng wasn't the bowling teacher-in-charge for nothing.. left shortly after that as martin's dad came to fetch us..

and finally, i guess it's time for some work to do now and school is going to start again soon.. zzz.. hope everything goes well!

see i told you so,
nothing really works when it comes to this..
i'm pretty sure you said something which doesn't seem to be the case now..
it's all fine to me,
i don't feel anything at all..
it's been like this for a year or so or 2 years?
and i've been living better than most of you probably do..
so why do i bother?
and stop giving me those fake impressions..
it just disses me..
and it's not so easy trying to fool me around..
i'm definitely smarter in a sense to leave before you all could do so..
if you all are sincere,
show it,
don't just say it..
damn you all-.-

2008-09-28T18:38:00.002+08:00

woke up at 10am today.. was supposed to follow my family out but then my mum was too tired so of course, i went to the arcade even though i didn't feel like it but i did promise the auntie i would come.. it will be quite bad of me since i'm a man of my words - a promise is a promise.. so as usual, it was the basketball shooting machine again.. played quite a number of times and only hit 1000+ once i think, a 1041, 4 higher than yesterday's best score.. the rest were around 970+ to 980+ though, so ya, went home after playing.. but i must say, there was this kid that used to trash me and then i trashed him who plays very well now, ranging a cool 750-770+.. at first, i was quite stunned and abit unhappy to see someone that could win me after some time.. but to think of it, so what if you're good at the shooting machine? you can't earn a living out of it so i didn't really quite care.. just a new hobby for me and i enjoy playing it and also playing it my way.. slacked abit and did 20 questions of vectors again for 2 hours until now, at which i decided to take a break till 7.30pm and that's when the F1 race starts! i really want to see hamilton win but if massa wins, i won't be that surprised too.. hope to update after the race is over!

2008-09-27T19:57:00.004+08:00

had a great slacking day today! was set to meet shane and company (sam, qk, tk) for a swim at 8.30am but i woke up at 9! oh my god.. so i cabbed down and reached in 4 minutes, lolx.. then we had such a great workout, swimming a total of 20 laps and kept playing a fool.. diving with different styles, tried new lame strokes and many more that i can't remember.. haha.. left at around 12pm before shane, tk and i headed to cavanna @ white sands for lunch.. shane then left for the airport to meet his secondary school mates while tk and i made our way to the arcade.. the staff told me the auntie was waiting for me but i couldn't see her at all at that time so i played alone first.. tk was quite amazed by the score of 741.. haha.. the auntie suddenly popped out moments later.. and of course, we started our doubles and man, we're really improving each time.. our second try of 984 already beat our previous high of 978.. unsatisfied, we went for more tries obviously.. and in the end, we finally broke 1000 with a score of 1011 but it showed just 11 on the machine.. broke that score again and our highest today was 1037! never felt this shiok before playing the machine.. i've got a video on the 1011 game all thanks to tk who helped me capture it.. out of probably 10 times, we managed to hit the 1000 mark 4 times and the rest was not any lesser than 940! the auntie will be there tomorrow again and she asked me to come at around that time.. lolx..

the highest today, a 1037! hoping to hit higher tomorrow!

headed back home at around 3+ and took a nap till 6 when my mother woke me up to have dinner at white sands.. dined at wan chai hongkong tea room.. the standard is really dropping man.. felt so conned but well, it's my mother who's paying so it's alright after all! haha.. currently waiting for time to pass so that i can watch the F1 qualifications later! that should be all for today!

2008-09-26T22:27:00.003+08:00

sometimes you might wonder a person's phone might be spoilt when he or she fails to pick up your call.. what do you think when such a call was not picked up for weeks? i sure do get what it means but i was stubborn enough to believe that the call could be answered.. i've decided, since that's the path that you all want to take.. we'll go separate ways without me ever interfering.. let's call it quits.. what a dumbass i was..

2008-09-26T13:40:00.003+08:00

TOTAL SIAN-NESS!

slept at 2.30am due to my perseverance in practising maths.. finished sequences and series and started abit on vectors.. wanted to go to school today actually but i was too lazy to wake up.. woke up at 6.10am just to wake my brother up to go school and i dozed again.. i guess the weather was too good.. since i had such a good rest, i only woke up at 9.30am and continued on vectors.. zzz.. and i'm going to finish all of it by today.. practise it again and again till i perfect it.. had lunch at 12+ but before that, i felt like going to the arcade for a short while, yes a short while, just 3 games =)

a 763 and a 761! woots! been a long time since i single-handedly hit above 750.. i hit 734 on the first for the right and 763 on my 2nd try and finally broke the 734 and hit 761 on my 3rd try.. lolx.. looks like i can only post on such stuffs i guess because that's what i do! haha..

supposed to be meeting 09/07 people today but there's no update till now.. celebrating aloy's birthday in advance.. maybe there will be a dinner later on.. okay, just took a short pause to blog and i shall go for a sweet bath and carry on practising vectors (PART 2!)..

ponned school yesterday but didn't turn out to be as productive afterall.. kept slacking and even went for a swim at shane's house.. had a great 2 hours swimming.. i must really say it's a good workout.. went to school today but didn't do much either, i also don't know why.. went opposite for lunch and left for tampines with shane and sam to get some stuffs for ourselves.. sam bought a new pair of goggles and i bought myself maths topical TYS.. went back home by mrt later.. met edmund first then quentin then xiong at the station.. what a small world.. had a short nap (if 2 hours is short), and started practising physics TYS for 2 hours and switched to maths till now as i wanted to pause for a short while..

the class is celebrating aloy's birthday in advance so i guess i'll be out the whole day again.. still undecided on whether to go to school or not tomorrow.. ends at 9.30 originally, but the miss wong added another from 10.50 to 11.40 so it ends then.. quite crappy still but i'll see.. been sick of the arcade too and that's a good sign because i spend less time and money on playing! but i'll still go train to take part in the competition after i pass out from ns! haha.. ok, shall go back to maths practise soon!

50th post and counting.. yesterday was a long day out, which was also the same as today.. got to bishan junction 8 to watch money not enough 2 as sy had 4 free tickets.. went together with zq and yj too.. ok la, the show was sad and funny at times (jack neo's forte).. had some tasty chicken rice for dinner before taking 59 back home..

today marks the 2nd day of school and of course more papers were returned.. i don't feel like talking about them now because i need to stay positive and move on strong.. there's still time for those like me or to those who had not performed well to make it till the a's.. it's scary how time flies and even scarier to think of how we fared for a's.. was planning to study today but i received something unexpected - adeline had sent me an sms.. she was asking me whether i wanted to join the md ppl at minds cafe.. i was just mentioning this about on the previous post and this happened.. coincidence or it was all planned.. i thought it was rather random since it's been long since we last met.. i really didn't know what i felt that time, happy or stunned? it did turn out to be rather fun hanging out and playing games at the same time and i really enjoyed it.. want to thank the 7 of them (ade, st, sy, zz, ck, pearlyn and zp) for the enjoyable session.. dined at xing wang @ plaza singapura before heading home.. looks i got to pon school tomorrow to pay back for the time i spent today..

and it seems i have to take back my words a little.. i really felt uneasy prior to making my way to minds cafe.. i didn't know if i should really go or not, the invitation was rather sincere, that's why i decided to go.. not as awkward as i expected it to be though.. but... but.., this is only one time, who knows when the next time will be? even though i really hope there's one more of many more, i'm still prepared that this may be the last time too.. i'm really quite immune to that.. and i really got to apologise to pong and des for making empty plans today, not that i don't want to go out to mug with you all but i wanted to try to find back the stuff i thought or maybe i did lose a long time ago.. sorry pals.. sigh.. this is really a pain in the butt..

2008-09-21T22:41:00.004+08:00

had a feel to play pool or chill outside but could find no one to accompany me.. as usual, i went to the arcade then.. and surprisingly, the auntie was there again and of course we ended up shooting again.. first try and we hit 944, way better than the previous 909 we hit yesterday.. tried very hard to break 944 as we wanted 950 but it took quite some time.. kept hitting 900+ but did not hit any higher than 944.. our closest was 938 and another 935 and the lowest 888.. pek cek ah.. but coincidentally, i met guan wei, ying zhi and ying hao at the arcade.. they just got back from playing soccer at simei.. they were stunned to see me play though.. haha.. well, they came at the right time because for the last try, we managed to break 944 and hit 978.. woots! looks like 1000 is nearing.. way to go! left the arcade then and me, gw, yz and yh went to kopitiam to slack till they decided to go home.. went back home after that and it was total boredom when the arcade session is over.. was asked to go down to 7-11 to help for awhile before my family and i dined at LerkThai @ WhiteSands.. spammed like everything was free.. oh ya, met han chong on my way there and yes dude, we'll be having our meal probably this coming week, i'm pretty sure.. and as the usual me, with nothing to do, i headed to the arcade again when i am really left with nothing interesting to do.. hit a couple of 700+ and suddenly, eunice came popping out of nowhere.. i bet she was surprised to see my hit 727 because she i said i once lost to her, which i don't really remember quite well though.. it's alright though as i could easily win her now.. played another version of bishi bashi with madness.. i don't know how to describe it but we just played like mad people, lolx.. accompanied them to the bus interchange after that and headed back home.. heard quite some stuff from eunice while waiting for the bus to arrive..

to eunice: (if you happen to read this, which i doubt you will, here are my thoughts..)

you see, even if you invited me, i don't see a meaning actually.. it's like totally so awkward if i just suddenly pop out like that.. you always say there's kw but let me tell you, i don't know what's going on recently but we are gradually drifting away from one another, probably due to the lack of some sort of contact/communication.. i'm pretty sure it's not like we were the best of friends like we seem to be in the past.. and lastly, even if you really want to invite me, you would have done so long time ago on your own will but not just saying this when you're in front of me like you really meant it.. you get it? i was quite pissed to hear that actually but i just did not show it.. i'm sorry but that's who and how i am..

today was supposed to be my last slacking day which i really hope to forget all the remorse and regret but when nighttime came, i can't help myself but to be haunted by such unpleasant thoughts again..

one sees you, says hi, ignores you on msn..
one ignores all your calls and smses and never comes online..
one still speaks to me even after so long but he's been closer to the first two, i wonder if he's for real that he's still that nice to me..
what can i do? nothing, absolutely nothing.. i don't think time can help, it just worsens the situation, that's all.. it would be great if i could turn back time, but sadly, i could not.. i guess i really had enough of this..

2008-09-21T00:15:00.003+08:00

to start things off, happy 18th kev! a year older and wiser, and also reminding me that i'm nearing 19 at the same time..

just got back from 7-11.. heard my dad and mum talking and i knew at the moment some employee was sacked as expected.. think my dad waited quite some time for that.. ok, today was a super slackish day.. woke up at 1pm, lolx.. so i went to the arcade since i've not been there for quite some time.. started to play my first game and got a 759.. then, someone approached me for a doubles game and guess what, it was the same auntie again! haha! actually i've seen her quite some times there.. she thought i had improved and asked me to join the competition.. ok, to recap our past session, we played twice, only to hit 805 at the second try, but his time, we played for 6-7 times.. here's how we fared.. 796, 835, 850, 862, 858 for the first 5 tries.. was still not satisfied with the score because it should be around the range of 900+ but at least we improved from our previous high of 805.. so we played a last time, desperate to hit a 900.. things started off well and oh my god, we hit a 900! 909! so so happy, lolx.. the feeling of hitting 900 is imba-ness..

goal accomplished, hitting a 900..

ok, left the arcade after that and stayed at 7-11 till i prepared to go for dinner at my aunt's house.. slacked there and went back to 7-11 to help out again and back home.. subconsciously, it's already 12+ am, time really flies, doesn't it.. hope that i can go go out later in the day!

2008-09-19T23:47:00.005+08:00

those were the times we first met,

then came the times we hung out everytime..

ties were so close that i treated you all as my brothers..

but time changes everything,

together without keeping in touch,

i sensed the grip on the ties we held starting to get loose..

making me regret most was my indecisiveness to sort out where i wanted to go;

to a place where i could join you all or;

to a place where many thought it was best for me..

either way, it's too late to undo what's been done..

i just hate this feeling and hate myself for being so foolish..

how i wish we could hang out together like we used too,

a long long time ago..

2008-09-19T23:47:00.002+08:00

just got back home only to hear my neighbour quarrelling.. slammed the door quite hard as a hint.. ah well, prelims are finally over.. so what, even though we are free but this liberation is so short lived that it will be gone in another 48 hours, the time when we get back our papers and i'll be so so so dead.. physics was quite a killer and chemistry was quite tough for today even though i managed to complete both of them.. went over to cineleisure@orchard to watch MAMA MIA! i hope it's spelt correctly.. it was a musical and knowing myself, i don't watch such stuffs, they're really not my type but i still managed to last the entire show.. it started out quite dull and sot sot one but picked up slowly.. it was a mixture of laughter and surprise as the plot progressed.. not a bad show after all even though i don't watch musicals.. the vocals were awesome and pleasant to the ears and the lead actress was not that bad looking too.. ok, headed to wheelock's place and dined at border's bistro-cafe after walking rounds and rounds to search for a place that could accommodate 12 people.. had the set meal and cost me around $25.. quite worth it.. feeling quite shagged, i thought it was best to gone back straight home for a good rest.. after all, i've been awake from 1am this morning and had gone 22 hours without sleep till now..

and oh my, due to a breakdown of the refrigerator at one of my dad's 7-11, i managed to have a huge supply of ben 'n' jerry's ice cream popping out at my house's refrigerator instead.. it's really alot.. i shall let the picture do the talking..

i didn't quite bother to estimate the amount too..

i'm really feeling very tired now, maybe i really got to get some rest which i should soon.. i guess that's all for today..

2008-09-16T20:32:00.003+08:00

Papers Left:

H1 Chemistry P1 and 2
Econs P2
Physics P1

and after prelims, it'll be 44 more days till a's.. time flies.. well, before i start, i shall wish pong happy belated 18th dude, makes me feel older only..

when time flies, i really mean it passes so fast even though i always try to slow things down but ultimately, time will always be ahead of me.. just slightly more than a year ago, i knew this group of friends.. i loved their company because we were all to on to do anything.. balling, movies, epl, whatever that's fun, we'll do it, together.. but i guess things and time are changing, it seems that this group is slowly drifting away.. and this is when time makes me really regret what i've done all along.. if i knew going to a different school would result into such a situation, i would have really joined you all.. don't mention about playing basketball for the college, this brotherhood is simply enough for me to give up playing basketball for my college.. maybe i was blinded by greed, by the desire to win another championship but look what i've got.. 2 years and not yet a finals appearance.. it's as good as joining you all playing ball down there.. not to say that my current bunch of teammates are not good enough but that brotherhood is really something i treasure very very much.. maybe more than getting into a relationship.. and now thinking of it, i might have really regretted stepping into this school? if i knew the administration was so fucked up, i really would not have taken a step in.. i would rather go to the same place as you all even though the administration might be as screwed up, but so what? there's still the company of you guys.. that is one thing i really can't get it back now and thinking of it really makes me feel damn dumb.. it's totally killing my motivation to mug too as time gets by.. well, knowing another great bunch of people here might serve as a consolation, it can never ever be as good as knowing the original band of brothers.. argh! screw it.. TJ really killed me.. i don't even feel any sense of belonging at all! fuck it..

RRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

screwed up school..

screwed up life..

if only there's a way to end this..

2008-09-13T16:06:00.002+08:00

prelims are halfway through! kindda screwed up my physics but luckily, econs was rather ok.. well, what's done had already been done, there's nothing more I could do to help the situation back then.. went to play ball in school after physics paper 2, with martin and swee liang joining me moments later.. shot some hoops till the moment that it just began to drizzle slightly.. mr. sim was there too and hell did he give us lots of laughter with his funny experiences.. kept waiting for the rain to stop but was fed up waiting so the 3 of us rushed quickly to hail a cab back to pasir ris because we had decided to go to SAKAE BUFFET! woots! been ages since I last had that, which was the first day of school this year, with si ying and yi jie if I'm not wrong.. but we were too early so we went to martin's house to slack till near 3 before going over.. spent a wonderful time eating with almost 60 plates of sides and sushi being consumed.. headed to the arcade after that because i felt like playing the shooting machine.. tried lots of time before we succeeded in filming the first video of me playing the shooting machine, which was tian ah, exhausting.. managed to hit more than 700 but it was a rather low 700 - 718.. ok, that was about all for yesterday..

had a great rest yesterday, felt so rejuvenated after waking up at 12.. had lunch before starting to mug at 2.. was trying a math paper 2.. felt it was okay after finishing it and I'm now taking a break.. doing papers really exhaust my mind but i shall persevere! ok, i should be going back to mug and maybe I'll blog again soon..

2008-09-09T22:49:00.003+08:00

ok, to start this post, today is si hui's birthday.. happy 17th birthday to her! and si hui, i know you definitely liked that gift very much.. haha..

and yep, prelims had started officially yesterday, with GP and Math there to murder me.. i guess they only did their job halfway.. balled after that long day to de-stress.. that's my only escape so far whenever feeling that down.. no other ways have proved useful yet.. today is an off day, with no papers on.. so shane and i went down to school to buy and practice some physics papers and also to pass si hui her gift.. had brunch opposite school and went home after that.. then came out and met yh at tampines coffee bean to mug for tomorrow.. spent a very fruitful session completing 2 paper 3s down there and headed home again to complete another one.. really hope tomorrow's papers won't be a demoraliser..

i guess there's nothing much more to add and i'll just pray hard tomorrow..

2008-09-07T00:50:00.003+08:00

was about to sleep but apparently i got woken up by my brother because my friends were talking to me on msn.. friends that i've not seen for ages.. had a nice chat about our lives now and pretty amazed how different our lifestyles can be.. on the other note, because i wasn't able to get back to sleep, i happened to chance upon one of jack neo's film - san ge hao ren on channel 8.. just finished watching.. the story was a typical jack neo version one - make you cry here and laugh there.. however, it always never fail to portray the identity of singaporeans.. the show was on ex-convicts and how they managed to overcome all odds in leading their new lives.. after watching such shows, it always serves as a motivation to me to work harder.. i've always said that i'll try, but who knows if i'll really do it.. even i'm not sure of it myself, but it doesn't matter now.. it's the last exam before NS, die die also cannot don't try! ah, the show also teaches some life lessons that might be really applicable to our society, if you've realised..

this reminds of a story that just happened a week ago.. let me tell the story first and then see what our society is really like now..

the story:

on a typical weekend at around 7 am, mrs. X was tending the convenience as usual, covering her shift.. everything was normal until a suspicious looking malay in his twenties came in.. mrs. X was suspecting he might be a potential thief and kept a close eye on him through the surveillance cameras installed.. true enough, the malay took some chocolate bars without paying.. being in the industry for so long, mrs. X had seen enough of such people and decided to give chase.. however, she got shoved by the malay and banged her head on the door.. luckily, there were some brave civilians nearby that heard the plea of mrs. X and brought down the thief with ease.. the police arrived shortly later and mrs. X was sent to the hospital in case of a concussion.. the thief turned out to be on the blacklist and the police had been wanting to arrest him but lack the evidence.. now that they've got it, they finally got their guy..

- the end -

some additional details not included in the story:

when that malay was brought down, he was not at all pleased.. he tried to struggle but failed terribly.. knowing that today he was really out of luck, he shouted, "chocolate only.." [it was 4 bars when i was told that it was supposed to be one - shows how skillful he is stealing things].. ya, so chocolate only, then why can't you pay and it might save your ass! damn it, can't you think of what to say before you actually say it? that's a dumb move.. you could have stolen more expensive items then, i tell you, it might be more worth it serving your jail term.. and rest assured, you're going to get at least a few years, poor dick-head..

ok, you've read about the part where i said the part on the plea of mrs. X? yep.. mrs. X did ask for help to call the police since she was quite taken aback by the shove.. one such person to be asked was a security officer of a shopping centre nearby.. mrs. X asked this dumbass to help her call the police.. oh ya, you might be wondering why i called him a dumbass.. listen, if you're the security officer in that situation, what would you do? quite obvious right? guess what he replied.. you would never expect this..

mrs. X: sir, can you help me call the police?
security officer: sorry ah, cannot ah.. 7-11 under MRT, not under [the shopping centre], i can't help you call police.. cannot..

-.- what a response.. i mean, ok fine, so if you can't call the police because it's not under your company, can you call it as a civilian? tian ah, it's so simple as abc that even i need to tell that officer that? what's so hard in seeing that point? it's hard to him because he never learn abc or what? i really cannot understand him.. and this might show on small side of what the present society in singapore can be.. ya, i understand the singapore spirit, one united people and red passion.. but seeing this, they're all bullshit, you can't understand it anymore.. i mean i really don't hate this society but seeing what some can do really irks you.. for example, i really feel like banging the officer's head.. i'll probably be doing him a big favour of getting a little smarter..

and to those who know me, you probably guessed where was the place, who were involved.. and yes you're right after all.. mrs. X is my mum, the store was the 7-11 at pasir ris and the MRT station was a pasir ris and the shopping centre was white sands.. and that's the reason why my tone is so coarse.. i think i am right to reveal all this since it's already so obvious.. who cares about it anyway.. just sharing a small story on what is actually happening int his world today..

oh well, prelims are starting in slightly more than 24 hours, oh great.. anyway, i think i shall get some rest because i'm meeting shane to mug at the airport..

2008-09-06T19:08:00.002+08:00

oh my god, i feel so screwed up.. the stress is killing me! 2 more days to prelims only! die le la!

2008-09-04T00:45:00.002+08:00

never thought this post was all about you.
today i was reminded of the times spent together.
i passed by the place where you first saw me as a kid;
i passed by the place that you were schooling as a youth;
i passed by the place you stayed;
i passed by the place we met again after so long;
i passed by the place that we once had fun;
and i was at the place where i longed to go with you one day.
all in one day, coincidentally.
too bad we weren't meant to be together.
hurts to see you go but what's done couldn't be undone.
how i wish i could turn back time,
and probably make you mine.
it's time to really let go.

2008-08-31T00:20:00.004+08:00

it's exactly 2 weeks before i last posted.. and that really shows how exhausted and busy i was.. study break started on week 9 of term 3 but i self-declared it ever since the 2nd day of week 8 ended.. totally saw no point of going to school.. and yea, i've just got to mug since i made such a choice.. but i tried to go for every training the j1s still had because i really miss touching the ball.. it's something that make me see the meaning of my life.. ok, enough said.. since last week till, it's all about mugging.. everyday will be all mugging.. if i were to find a category to differentiate them, i would use location to categorise them.. i tried national library, bras bersah macs, kallang leisure park, t3 coffee bean, t1 burger king and my room.. i would say i loved t3 coffee bean the most on weekdays and KLP starbucks on weekends.. of course i do always have study partners.. the NLB group normally consists of zp, zh, dex and jon, sometimes qt too.. airport mugging, it's adri most of the time, sometimes zh.. in fact, for the past few days, i've been mugging with adri all day.. it's at least 5 hours a day man.. that's tiring.. the days that i'll be studying in tj are gone unofficially.. 2 years really past so fast.. 9 more days and prelims start.. wow.. and november 3rd will be the first paper for 'a's.. damn.. how i wish i could turn time back.. ugh..

well at least there were some things that obviously brighten up my gloomy days.. one would be visiting the arcade.. lolx.. personal best of 883 now/daytona semi-pro/ID4 addict.. burns money but it always help me by reminding me that it's time to start doing something fruitful - mugging.. and well, yesterday, i also did go back to chung cheng.. took hell lots of pictures there.. only me and zh turned up due to the timing of the visit.. will post those pictures some day, i'm lazy now, and my computer is somehow infected by some virus.. zzz.. in short, i just want to say, i love the breeze around the lake and the slackish days i had there.. i won't mind giving up a portion of my lifespan to enjoy the 2 again.. hai.. and lastly to wrap things up, i received a "commando invitation letter".. the reason i used those inverted commas - i don't know how should i phrase it.. wow, commando for me? cool shit.. it's worth a try but i thought i will just land into any average unit, the infantry.. haha.. just see how things go first.. have to report to hendon camp one day to decide my fate.. it's late now and i think i should go get some rest.. life is pretty boring these days..

it's been 5 years since i've longed for one
and everytime i met each of them, things didn't turn as i hoped
5 years since then, the search is still on
but the journey gets tougher and tougher each time
seeing others embark on such a sweet journey makes me wanna explore the taste of it
damn, if onli i were good enough..

2008-08-17T07:49:00.003+08:00

zzz.. just reached home after stuyding at east coast macdonalds with adri.. a very productive session indeed.. handled graphing techniques and integration and some physics.. come on "by parts", i don't fear you.. hehe.. met adri yesterday at kembangan mrt at 11pm.. but then, i joined his family for dinner instead.. felt quite pai-seh but haha, i still went.. reached east coast park at around 12.30 am then.. macdonalds was still quite crowded then.. but we managed to grab the best spot and started our session effectively.. 2 people sitting at a table meant for around 6-8.. lolx.. still can kiao kah sia.. it was until 6.30 when we decided to halt and had our breakfast.. went to the beach to enjoy the breeze while waiting for adri's mum to fetch us back home..

the not so usual macdonalds at east coast park with so many empty seats..

the dark sky soon brightened up..

a wonderful view of the beach..

another wonderful view of the beach.. morning breeze is the best!

and oh yeah, checked the results today for the olympics basketball championship.. USA thumped Spain 119-82! American opponents, please watch out.. and China won Germany too and are through to the next round..

look how happy yao was.. definitely a great win for his country..

this picture shows it all.. great win there for USA too!

okay, think this is all.. i shall go for some rest because tomorrow will be the start of the last week of school..

2008-08-16T00:27:00.003+08:00

friday is the most slack day in my timetable all this while.. lessons end at 10.50am.. maybe 2.10pm due to extra economics lessons.. went to the court with dodo and adri to shoot some hoops.. mr sim appeared and apparently challenged me to a shootout.. with some luck, i manage to win 5 bowls of ice kachang from him! woots.. i thought he would only be owing me but he called me instead and gave me a 10-dollar note! "na! 5 bowls, then return me the change".. wow.. can you actually believe mr sim did that? i can't, but it actually happened! haha..

after that was extra lessons for economics.. ended at 2.10pm.. had originally decided to hang out but apparently, singapore's table tennis women's team was about to engage in a fierce and exciting battle with korea's table tennis women team.. kudos to singapore for winning the semi-finals anyway.. it's been 48 years and the dream is finally fulfilled at last.. watched the entire match that laste nearly 4 hours at opposite's kopitiam.. the atmosphere was very funny due to the uncles' analysis and comments for every situation that happens in the game.. and the audience were very high too! (especially those from my class, haha.. and yes, we sat there the longest!) singapore could have won very early but just couldn't take further advantage of the lead.. however, the korean team must also be credited for their efforts as they proved to be formidable opponents for the singapore team..

Game 1: Singapore drew first blood winning 3-0 against Korea..
Game 2: Korean leveled up with a fierce and victorious battle against Lee Jia Wei and triumphed 3 sets to 2..
Game 3: Singapore's doubles seemed too strong for Korea, thumping them 3-0 and regains the 2-1 lead..
Game 4: Not giving up hope and giving all the best, Korea stunned Singapore by leveling the series with a stunning 3-0 victory..
Game 5: Singapore's dream of a medal came true after a hard fought battle that Singapore outlasted Korea 3-1..

48 years, it's really a very long period of time.. once again, congratulations to team singapore! i was very happy with the results but my mum apparently disagreed with that.. she really hoped singapore will lose because they were all based in china after all and they get loads of money for winning that medal.. money given to non-singaporeans, that's what she thinks.. i'm alright with it though.. but can't deny the fact that a medal was actually won for singapore after so long, something to rejoice about..

feeling so happy and high, i self-declared a holiday today and met adri at e!hub to play the arcade.. me and my basketball shooting machine and he with his taiko machine.. my aim was to break 700 and his goal was to pass the hardest song.. apparently, only i achieved what we had each actually aimed for.. it took me 8 trys though.. i had one on my 5th try a 698, super close but i couldn't hold onto it.. but it was fun.. the crowd behind me makes it even more fun.. adri also drew quite some attention with his skills.. all the songs were like so simple to him-.- but too bad, the hardest song just caught him.. lolx @ adri! then went home an reached at around 12am.. hope to mug full day tomorrow because today is wasted and please let time be on my side..

2008-08-14T14:26:00.002+08:00

tuesday wasn't a day worth mentioning.. zh was still in the hospital till that day.. went to see him together with yh, whom i psycho-ed to accompany me.. yesterday was NAPFA.. sian.. guess i'll get in 4 more weeks earlier, can't help it.. did all others well but not for the run.. my ankle's really feeling the pain.. shall start to train again now! saw miss sim after that, quite glad to hear that i did not bad for my essay questions, so it's a very good thing.. went for dinner at cavanna with aloy, fad and des.. had some time chilling out there before heading home..

today was similar to what it was like 2 days ago.. i'm freaking tired.. i just want to have some sleep.. luckily, tomorrow's friday.. phew.. oh ya, i've got some great songs these days and i'm so in love with them! go FABER DRIVE & FM STATIC!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO ...... SINGAPORE!! it's singapore's birthday on august the 9th for the 43rd time.. didn't bother to watch the parade though since it always similar to those in the past.. didn't go out to watch the fireworks also.. this might be one of the lowest ever national day i've ever had so far i guess.. but guess what, instead of making my way to chill with my friends, i ended up visiting czh at CGH-.- together with his classmates (shane, teck kian, samuel, vincent, cherylnn, suzanne and shee ping - sorry to those if i've spelt wrongly =X ) apparently, that zh was trying some stupid dunk from a chair and broke his left forearm unfortunately on national day's eve.. don't know what he was thinking then but that was definitely something foolish.. hope he doesn't harbour any thoughts of an encore-.- pictures of him hospitalised can be found on shane's blog anyway.. well, this was my 4th time knowing that he is hospitalised, so i wasn't much surprised and he was still the way he used to be whenever he's hospitalised and nothing much to worry about.. knowing that he's doing well, the 7 of us, after suzanne left, went for lunch at eighteen chefs @ eastpoint.. had curry chicken sausage cheesy baked rice.. shared some laughter and headed home shortly.. nothing much after that for the whole day.. yesterday was so slackish for me.. went to 7-11 as usual.. oh ya, i went for a night jogging session to realise that my stamina sucked big time -.- total sian-ness.. heck le la.. the highlight for yesterday was actually the basketball match between team USA and team China.. USA was on super ownage mode right between the 2nd quarter.. dazzling dunks by lebron, wade and kobe.. all of them were sick.. and yao ming even hit a 3 to start the game.. what the heck?! yao shoots in a 3? lolx.. USA won eventually, duh.. went to sleep after that.. today is chiong-ing homework day and i'm so tired of it.. i guess i should start doing something now..

it's been 5 days since my last post and i realise i don't really post on weekdays.. today's an exception because it's national day eve! singapore is going to be 43 years old tomorrow! ok, i haven't found anything much interesting to blog about this week.. had my chemistry mock prelim on wednesday afternoon.. should be pure ownage (hoping for at least 60/80 =] ).. then thursday was a super tiring day as i always say.. reached pasir ris but it rained so so so heavily till i was stranded at 7-11.. -.- the rain was one of the heaviest i've ever seen so far (an effect of global warming?).. ah, finally about today.. today was national day celebration in school.. the parade was so noob-.- (ok la, but i admire those people for their courage).. loke was like wrapped in a table cloth and looked as if she had got no money to buy more decent clothes.. headed for the concert in the hall promptly.. the first performance was by ARCANESOUNDS! it's a new local band formed in june last year.. they're not bad.. i love the progressive sounds of the electric guitar especially.. then there were some videos in between here and there until i can't really recall what exactly was the program.. but one more highlight of this concert was bryan's singing together with mahadir play the guitar.. i was kind of freaked out at first because i really didn't know bryan could sing so so damn well.. no, that's no sarcasm here, i really meant it.. i didn't mind him having an encore seriously speaking.. hmm.. after that i can't recall what happened but as usual, there was a sing-along-session but a group of my classmates and i ended up playing 'tau-pok'.. it was dam fun! hahaha.. the concert ended at around 10am..

sportsman appreciation ceremony was next and finally, the year 2s have officially stepped down with great honours.. it was fun watching all the videos that all the pdp(s) have made.. to think of it, i've actually completed my 2 seasons in tjc.. time really flies.. hoping all the best for my juniors also and that includes hui san, shan min, clara, ruby (girls), wei yang, chee siang, sin lek, big sam, dave, mu ye, xuan zheng, denie, tian yu, gabriel, david and joel (guys)..

the ceremony ended at 12+pm.. supposed to meet up with my brothers but apparently they couldn't make it and i didn't even bother to find out where my class was going (i doubt they will be going anywhere).. of course i do have other friends but they were all going out wit their classes, going out with them is like so extra.. in the end, my destination was home-.- felt abit low at first because i really hate being alone, especially on days that you could actually go out with your best friends and have fun.. went to the arcade and chill.. man, it was crowded at white sands, imagine how e!hub will be.. played my first game 709.. not as good probably due to the crowd behind me.. it was pressurising ok.. haha.. more people came when i played my second and i scored 726.. went to sit down to rest awhile until an auntie came to ask me to join her to play together.. i had mixed reactions when she approached me.. first it was, 'huh? you got play this machine de ah?' and later 'me? my double play sucks, you really want to partner me?' but it was more of the later one.. she was really dam zai! she competed in 2006 arcade competition and actually got second! oh my.. and so we teamed up.. first game she sponsored, 752.. not bad for me in a double play because it requires synchronisation.. i suck at that because i've never practice much of that before and that last time i had a double play was with si ying and we actually scored only 330+.. second game, i offered to sponsor this one.. we did better 805.. everyone behind got their jaws dropped but the auntie told me we should have gotten 900+ instead for a double play.. haha.. super ps, i think it was partly my fault because i've never played a doubles for ages! luckily, the auntie was encouraging and she guided me throughout.. she was actually playing to my tempo most of the time even though i did try to follow hers.. she was really zai.. haha.. i'm saying that one more time.. i hope she will come again though.. anyway, played one more game solo and left.. got home with lunch and kept slacking.. tons of homework are piled up in front of me and there's another few tons of revision awaiting me too.. i just hope to clear them all as soon as possible.. i'll try my best but hey let's enjoy national day tomorrow first! haha..

2008-08-03T14:24:00.005+08:00

it's been very packed this week as usual - all the protected time and the screwed-up timetables.. seriously, i don't know how long i can handle this anymore.. i tried self studying in school for a day at the TRC last wednesday.. i must admit, it's not a bad place there provided it's not very filled up.. i think the school should change those protected time to self studying, it might be more productive.. well, maybe for me at least.. and last friday i just realised one thing, protected time on this day is a total waste of time.. it was my first time going to friday protected time though but the wait was not worth it.. i end school at 10.50am on fridays and the first protected time starts at 3pm? it's like what the heck la.. well, i guess that will be my first and last time for i'll go for protected time on fridays.. i would rather go home at 12.30 and do my own work.. i guarantee i would turn out to be more productive =) ok enough of that.. reached the national library at 3.30pm yesterday to meet zh, zp and jon.. thanks dex for leaving that seat to me even though he really had to leave to watch the last national day parade rehearsal.. by the way, it was my first time there to the national library and i must say the atmosphere there at the level 5 study lounge is abit weird to me.. i don't know why but it feels like lots of people are eyeing for your seat and you can't study peacefully.. that's the case for me but i still managed to mug quite a portion for my chemistry.. jon left abit earlier and that left me, zh and zp.. we purposely waited till 8pm so that we can witness the fireworks because the view from the study lounge is spectacular.. however, there were this bunch of inconsiderate beings blocking the view while everyone was enjoying it.. i did cough very loudly to drop some hints but they refused to budge.. that's so singapore la-.- luckily they were "dumb-f***s", they didn't know the fireworks came in waves and they left after the first wave was over.. the second wave was much nicer, too bad for those people.. those bunch of people really pissed me off.. but there was one funny incident that happened.. when the second wave started loudly, another group of people made their way to block my view again-.- however, this group wasn't as big as the previous one, so it was alright.. then there was this guy who realised that he could use his cellphone to take a picture of this beautiful night.. ok, so he took out his phone, turned on the camera and paused for a second to see if it's the right angle and just when he was about to press the 'capture' button, the second wave stopped! hahaha.. the look on his face, oh my god, i really couldn't describe it.. it was damn funny because i couldn't think of anything to describe this guy except 'LOSER'! lolx.. after laughing enough, the 3 of us made our way to have some steamboat near zh's house as suggested by him.. i shall not talk much about the steamboat because the experience was totally unpleasant and i will never go there again to witness such a terrible atmosphere.. i would rather pay more to go to a more civilised and higher-class place to have steamboat, seriously.. that's roughly about this week..

ah! and i've been tagged by shane-.- and so, i have to do this since i'm so steady.. let's spread the love of being tagged! hahaha! ^^V

RULES:

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag eight people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

so here it goes!

1. What are your reasons for having a LJ?

even though after seeing some answers to this question, i still strongly believe that LJ in this context is 'Live Journal' and not er-hem! quite obvious right? haha.. ok, for this question, i don't have one leh.. i never tried LJ but i feel that blogger is more user-friendly, isn't it? it's also common and easier to link people using blogger.. even if i had used LJ, i guess it's more of the uniqueness bah..

2. What do you do before bedtime?

man, i do a whole lot of things before going to bed because i hate lying on the bed and waste alot of time trying to sleep.. i normally try to tire myself out by browsing through the internet till i'm really exhausted or maybe have a quick shower to feel cooler and relaxed to start sleeping.. brushing the teeth and visiting the toilet to answer to nature's call are needless to say..

3. What will your dream wedding be like?

i guess i'm still quite young to answer this question but my dream wedding? hmm, i do like the idea of marrying underwater or in a very nice rural place.. shouldn't be very noisy and the place must be very, very romantic to make it the most most memorable and lovely day i've ever had.. actually, i'm quite ok with anything as long as my bride loves it.. haha.. so wait for a longer time then i'll revise this question again.. haha..

4. What is the city of your dreams and why?

no preference though.. i just like any place that has winter and a very nice environment.. it also depends on uniqueness of the city.. any city that captures me can be the city of my dreams..

5. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

i would say extrovert.. i love the company of friends and i'm also very outgoing.. even though there might be times i wish to be alone, i will definitely still choose to be in a situation to be in company of my friends..

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?

definitely being loved by someone.. being loved by someone can make you love someone more and i think it's just a matter of time both can come simultaneously..

7. Do you trust easily?

yes, but only to those that i think that i can.. so far, my judgement hasn't brought me any betrayal yet..

8. What person, dead or alive, is your role model?

i don't have any actually.. i mean every role model is unique in a sense and there's no specific role model for me.. as long as someone who achieves something through sheer determination and hard work/overcoming all odds, can be my role model.. chris gardner in the pursuit of happiness is a good example.. donald trump, al gore too.. it's hard to say for me..

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?

of course there will be but i guess these days, it's more on the stress that 'a' level is nearing that is making me unhappy.. otherwise, i've been really enjoying myself these days..

10. When's the last time you had fun?

i forgot when, but every moment out with your clique/best friends is very fun because we are very close to each other and can associate very well..

11. Is being tagged fun?

it's quite troublesome but i can't deny there's some extent of fun factor is this game.. haha.. sometimes it's also fun to see how different people come out with different answers to these questions..

12. How do you see yourself?

very emotional, sociable and outgoing.. i tend to express myself very freely and i will also be myself and not put up and act in front of others.. i really feel uncomfortable with putting up an act, it's so not me and unnatural.. i'm also very righteous.. haha..

13. Who are currently the most important people to you?

family and friends, quite a typical answer i guess.. my family supports me and my friends show me all the love.. what's more that can be more important than them =)

14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?

it was shane right? i haven't known shane for quite long but we are like good buddies now.. he's very humorous and always full of laughter.. also a very cheerful guy.. and one thing i must say is that his laughter is very unique.. it has got the quality of the joker, seriously and i mean it.. take that, shane!

15. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?

single and rich.. that's so obvious.. i mean if u got the money, do you think being married is hard? come one, this is a killing two birds with a stone man.. haha.. being poor is not a good thing for anyone either, given that marriage is optional..

16. How many children do you want to have, if any?

i think i will have to say 3.. any permutations of the number of boys and girls is fine with me.. 3 is a good number because my parents also had 3 and we're doing well as a family.. i see no problem with having 3.. anyway, it will be up to my wife then, she's taking the pain after all.. can't just let her bear it all the way right..

17.What's better, to give or to receive?

this one's tough.. i would say giving.. i'm a guy who loves to show care for others, that's why i chose to give.. i really value my friends alot too, that's why to give is very important.. seeing the happy faces when giving makes my day..

18. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?

i don't think i would do that in the first place but it's hard to say given human's so unpredictable nature.. if that happens, of course i will pick the one that loves me more.. but i am sure i won't make myself land into such a difficult situation in the future.. it seems so bad and probably lose the meaning of love..

19. What would you do if you (or your girlfriend) became pregnant unexpectedly?

be a man and take the responsiblity.. it mighy suck to become a dad so unexpectedly but it's only
right for me to do so.. afterall, it might be part of me that she's pregnant.. this question doesn't ask if the child is yours or not? if the child is not mine, i really don't know what i'll do then.. disown my girlfriend? be a good guy and accept the fact?

20. What are you waiting for right now?

my driving license and a wonderful life ahead =)

that took me quite some time to finish the 20 questions.. phew..

TAGGED:

angelina, jun yi, dodo, bing xu!

09/07's class BBQ finally came to a wonderful conclusion yesterday at the AQUARIUS.. special thanks to the organisers aloy and fadilah and also to adri, our cook and being the one who helped us to book the pit.. (pictures will be uploaded provided i will have them..) enough said, this whole week was packed like hell for me, and that's why i haven't been blogging because it was too tiring.. extra lessons, movies, etc.. for yesterday alone, i was out home from 8am onwards till around 11.30pm.. well, tiring but worthwhile for all the fun and memories..

i shall recap this week starting from monday..

MONDAY, 21st july

had school as usual.. but the timetable had a slight change and ended up having 5 straight periods for the whole class except 2.. that was quite draining and school ends at 3.50pm, with a double physics tutorial as a conclusion.. managed to pull through though.. then decided to watch red cliff with aloy at e!hub.. very last minute decision but we are both very on and steady people, so why not? haha.. it's damn cool because not many watch movies on mondays with school uniform on too.. red cliff was a nice movie i must say, even though it was boring at times.. i like certain parts of chinese history and red cliff was my favourite.. there were 2 parts to this show and part 1 was already around 2 hours 15 minutes i guess.. great plot and portrayal of all the characters in the story.. but speaking of the cast in red cliff, tony leung must be one lucky guy, he just had 'er-hem' in lust, caution, and now, he got another 'er-hem' scene with lin zhi ling and what's more, he just got married.. wow, how lucky can he get.. maybe being an actor might not be a bad career choice.. haha.. the day ended as me and aloy went to wan chai @ white sands for dinner..

WEDNESDAY, 23rd july

it was NAPFA test for the year 2s but i couldn't participate because my ankle didn't feel 100% at all.. it sucks to see everyone around doing the test and you can just only look at them do.. boo~ but my day brightened with a victorious shootout against mr sim.. he now owes me 2 bowls of ice kachang.. haha..

THURSDAY, 24th july

school ended at 3.50pm.. exhausted but yearning to watch the dark knight.. and so randomly, i managed to find company to watch it.. they were shane, zhi hao, teck kian and samuel.. all from 05 except for me.. but why not? they're all my friends after all and thanks to their "on-ness", i managed to watch the show that i was anticipating.. we went to gv @ tampines to watch it.. it was quite a long show, approximately more than 2 hours and 15 minutes.. and living up to its hype, i give the dark knight 2 thumbs up.. even though there were no hot actresses inside, watching joker alone is good enough.. it's sad that heath ledger died far too young.. a transition from a role in brokeback mountain to joker in the dark knight is no easy feat, but he managed with ease in any way you look a it.. heath had so much talent in him but now he is gone.. sob.. nevertheless, he's going to be in the list of one of my favourite actors.. go watch the dark knight and you'll know what i mean.. after the movie, 4 of us except shane headed home by the train..

SATURDAY, 26th july

this day is a very very packed day.. supposed to meet my cchms team mates at 8.15 am.. i woke up at 7.24 and obviously i was super late.. quickly packed all my stuffs and cabbed down to cchms.. the ride nearly cost me a bomb, ended up paying 11.90.. in the past, it was only 9 taking into account that the driver took the best route.. ah whatever.. luckily i was not that late and all of us went to greet ms wong and headed off for the court.. played alot of friendly matches with some 'c' division boys and needless to say, the alumni team won it all.. went to gym toilet for shower after that.. that place brings back lots of wonderful memories being a member of the LEGENDARY basketball team.. haha.. the feeling is indescribable.. and as expected, time flies when you seem to be enjoying the best moments of life.. headed for kfc to have lunch.. after that, i made my way to bedok interchange to meet chye before heading to the aquarius for class bbq.. as mentioned, it was an enjoyable moment.. shan't talk much about it because it will be endless if i start doing so.. haha.. what i want to say is already said.. ended bbq at 11.15 pm and headed home.. after bathing, i was completely knocked out..

and picking up from there, i woke up at 12.50pm today! what the heck-.- feeling as tired, i slacked through the whole of today, kept playing the basketball shooting machine until it was around 6 as i went to help out at 7-11.. sunday always seem to be so routine to me.. i had slacked enough this whole week, it's time to catch up with work again.. i shall mug hard, or maybe i should say i must mug hard this week.. way to go! that's all for now..

2008-07-20T21:39:00.004+08:00

been quite lazy these days to post.. hmm.. but since it's a sunday, why not? ponned friday's extra lessons because i simply didn't have the mood to do so and it's not a bad thing either becaus i got to enjoy good dinner at xin wang restaurant with my family and some of my relatives.. i kept ordering because it's my mum who's paying.. haha.. that's what i get when she tio buay pio! huat ah! then it was saturday the next day which was also si ying's sweet 18.. went to si ying's house to surprise her early in the morning together with zhen qin, yi jie and wen yu.. and as expected, si ying was still sleeping.. but i guessed it was quite obvious when the 4 of us were in the house because si ying's husky, cyrus, gave a very warm welcome.. zhen qin and yi jie were like screaming so loud because they were scared of the husky.. in the end, si ying woke up and walked out of her room instead of us going to surprise her.. lolx.. nevertheless, happy 18th, miss GWEE SI YING! went home after that and slept as i was quite shag.. slacked the whole day without doing anything.. today was about the same as yesterday.. with such a good weather, i ended up sleeping almost throughout the whole day.. lmao.. i feel so energised now that i will mug till tomorrow morning! even got my midnight mugging energy supply/booster from 7-11 while i was working at there since 7pm.. woots! and with that, i shall end my post.. it's the start of week 5 tomorrow!

2008-07-17T04:37:00.004+08:00

...

econs..

takes..

a..

long..

time.. (relatively)

to..

understand..

did mug since i last posted till now.. and within that time i only managed to touch abit of chemistry and economics.. spent nearly 95% of that time at economics especially.. it isn't that hard but takes time to understand the concepts.. zzz.. i wonder how much of time is left for me to understand such stuffs.. and my most unanticipated school day is starting soon =(

2008-07-16T23:52:00.003+08:00

*sigh*
did i mention that that i will be mugging at midnight in my previous post? didn't manage to do it in the end and the reason why - i overslept-.- slept at 8pm in preparation for mugging, planning to wake up at 12 am.. but i woke up at 3am, oh well.. didn't have the mood and momentum to study then..

school today was slack for me because of the number of free periods that i have on wednesdays.. managed to complete my maths complex numbers tutorial which is due tomorrow.. thursdays are always the days that i hate to go to school because of the long hours.. look, double gp - chemistry lecture - economics lecture - chemistry tutorial - double economics - maths tutorial - ends at 3.50 x_x what's more is that there's a chemistry and economics test for me.. argh! this is driving me mad.. friday is maths test again, do i have the time to finish them? well, i'll just try my best i guess.. and because of the failure in the mugging plan previously, i'll compensate it with the time tonight.. i'm really really not going to sleep! because i realise 80% of the time, i tend to keep on sleeping and end up doing nothing but SLEEP! maybe it's really too tiring.. and seriously, i am kind of lacking the motivation to go school.. shall see how these days go.. i would rather study by myself at home or outside..

well, it's alright, i should be optimistic and look forward too tomorrow.. got to see the 'sin-seh' again and also going for some shopping somewhere near my house.. boring~

2008-07-14T20:41:00.005+08:00

worked for 3 hrs at 7-11 yesterday and went to the arcade to "de-stress".. it was quite amazing 'cause i set my new personal best and several records there (it goes off after one day anyway).. went back home and slept after that, kinda tired..

651, 602, 629, 639! set all those high scores at that day and all at one try =)

this was after those 4 games and i hit a new personal best of 676!

today was the first day of week 5? yep, it should be week 5, time flies so fast.. it was a long day too today, having lessons ending at 5.30 but the arrangement of lessons was quite slack for me on mondays.. headed to sports complex with adri and dodo to do some pull ups and as expected, i ended up balling for a while, taking maximum caution so as not to aggravate my sprained right ankle.. met angus and yu jun (is it spelt like that? sorry, i can't remember) and walked with them to the bus interchange to head back home.. it was dinner time so i headed to the kopitiam food court at white sands to buy some food.. this time round, i met shane and samuel (his classmate).. haha, so coincidental.. ate together and left promptly after that.. met desmond on my way down with his friend.. saw alot of tjc peeps at white sands subsequently.. don't know why but this is the first time i've seen so many tjc peeps at white sands.. joked with shane while we walked home and i've challenged him to a "lame/funny/stupid video posting" game.. haha.. you'll shall know in the later part of this post (shane, are you anticipating this? hahahaha!)..

anyway, got to see this video on shane's blog.. it is titled "where the hell is matt?".. i'm at first surprised to see such a video because alot of effort is needed to be spent on gathering the footage.. overall, it was a touching video.. that guy, matt, is so lucky to have done this.. it's also my dream to travel around the world and see different places.. seriously, this guy deserves some credit or award for his contribution.. here's the video, enjoy it =)

touching it is.. it's alright if you cry abit after watching it because you're not the only one, many did cry too after watching the video.. and because of that, a guy who got so emotional after viewing the video, decided to remake a version which can make people laugh instead.. it's titled "where the hell is matt's girlfriend?".. if you think matt's girlfriend is doing something like him, then you're so-so-so-so-so wrong.. haha.. watch it to see it for yourself!

WARNING: the video below might contain certain scenes which may be unpleasant to some but if you're not such a clean person, you'll probably be able to guess what the video is trying to show.. nevertheless, i rate this NC-16 according to singapore censorship board standards..

here's also some random picture at starbucks @ KLP.. i'm seriously kinda hooked to that place or rather starbucks i guess.. not a bad place for me to mug there and it's quiet most of the time.. might be very cold on certain days too.. a great place to mug with mugging partners or chill out with your friends! =) alrights, that's all for today because i'm going to embark on my midnight mugging session today soon at 11pm! *panda eyes are coming for sure*

the raspberry cream frappe that i tried while mugging that day, kinda gets too creamy and sweet at the end..

my day mugging at starbucks..

2008-07-14T20:15:00.002+08:00

it's been so long,
i should have guessed so.
but i thought it wasn't suppose to be so hard.
it felt like a shot to my head,
i was killed by you.
those words really killed me.
am i right to say that i'm so stupid to be hid in the dark,
or rather i did not cherish the opportunity that stood infront of me?
i should have made my mind earlier,
or maybe i had set my mind,
it's time,
a time to get over you.

2008-07-13T13:27:00.003+08:00

phew, just got back from bedok after visiting the sin-seh to seek treatment for my ankle.. today's treatment was abit different because the swell hasn't gone since the sin-seh saw it 2 weeks ago, so there was an extra step.. the first part was as usual, spraying and applying some medicated ailment on my swollen ankle (i guess it's 1.5 times as big as the one on my left -.-).. the applied part was then exposed to some sort of radiation that makes the ankle feels abit warm after some time.. after 10 minutes, the next step was to use electricity to send impulses on my right leg.. every impulse sent made my foot jerk and so, i was jerking like a "goon" for near 30 minutes.. the impulse was rather annoying.. haha.. and for the last part, the sin-seh did some massage for my leg (i guess it has to do with blood circulation purposes) and applied some chinese medicine before wrapping it up with a bandage.. that bandage brings bad memories for me.. i always hated to see a sin-seh whenever i sprain my ankle because it's irritating when u bathe.. i must always wrap it with some plastic bag first so as to not get it wet.. that lasts for 3 days.. 3 days is a very long period of time when you apply the concepts of relativity! haha! ah well, i shall just bear with it since it's already like that and i don't really want to end up being a crippled so early.. wishing myself a fast recovery!

hmm today is a sunday and it's always the time i have to go down to 7-11 to help because army boys are always spawning at that area before they report back to camp.. due to a shortage of manpower, this is where i come in.. haha! need to finish more work before i head down and so, off to mug for today!

woke up at 11+ near 12pm today.. was darn tired.. zh asked me join me at nlb in the morning but i never made it there, so instead i slacked at home while looking for an alternative.. got dodo and zq to accompany me at KLP (yes, it's there agn..) at ard 3 to start our mugging session.. starbucks was our mugging spot for us (and yes agn, it's starbucks for me one more time..) got myself a white choc frap wif hazelnut, dodo got his usual green tea frap and zq got herself caramel frap.. my drink was nice at the first try but it got abit too sweet after that.. but oh well, since i ordered it, so i had to finish it.. zq then left me and dodo at ard 5+ cause she was meeting someone at some place.. KLP was exceptionally crowded today, especially at that period.. probably there was some national day parade rehearsal going on.. almost everywhere was filled wif ppl, starbucks was no exception.. for a moment, i thought the both of us were gonna get kicked out cause it was simply too packed but luckily, it didn't happen.. and what i learnt abt going to KLP today is to bring a jacket jus in case, best if you also get into ur shoes.. simply because you can't predict how cold KLP can get.. nearly froze till death today.. dodo was shivering like mad.. haha.. but i wld say, it still turned out to be a productive 6 hr study session today.. finished part 1 and part 2 of my chem revision ws, revised em and emi, did some physics mcq, and also revised bits of econs.. not bad an achievement given the fact that i was quite tired at most of the times.. had dinner at koufu wif dodo b4 taking the shuttle bus ride to kallang mrt and head home.. shall plan what i shd be mugging and doing for tmr! i guess that's all for a "muggy" saturday..

i lied.
when asked if i liked any one, i lied.
it's strange that up till now that i feel this is a lie i can't imagine i'm telling it out myself.
it's so obvious that i missed every bits with you,
those precious and sweet memories that were there,
it can't be washed off from me.
i know that now things have come to such a state,
i have nothing to grumble about but to accept that fate has not brought us to where i thought we could be.
it's alright.
really alright,
but deep inside me holds some pain to see you go just like that.
it doesn't matter if you aren't with me,
i only wish you happines.
but if that special 'you' were looking at this,
i would be happy enough.
it was glad knowing you and sad to see you drifting so far away.
i don't know why i feel this way.
is it just me?
i shall leave to fate to help me overcome such pain.
it's time i've got over you,
and maybe,
hopefully,
i would find a special 'you' again.

wasn't in school ystd.. sian-ed.. mugged once i woke up till ard the evening and joined the juniors in school for basketball.. tired but not a bad day as a conclusion..

today was no different from any other school-days, having each of its own unique ups and downs.. reached school today with myself near half dead as i was really too tired but luckily lessons all end at 10.50am for me.. yeah! but there was gp lecture at 3.. got out of school at 12.30 and dined at long john's for lunch while waiting for the lecture and then played some ball too.. the most unfortunate part - i sprained my right ankle and best still, it was the 2nd one within 2 short weeks -.- fortunately, i was able to recover enough to see myself limping again.. went down to thai express @ marina square for dinner wif family as si ying said she had this $10 voucher.. kept staring at the menu and finally we made our mind, seafood green curry for me, chicken green curry for yj, beef noodles for sy and noodles soup for zq.. the dishes were not bad, especially the curry but quite ex i wld say.. ltr we discovered there was a complimentary dish but we didn't realise that it was only for POSB/DBS cardholders-.- and another problem arised.. the voucher cld only be used if only the orange member card was wif one.. we had none of these 2.. however, we had a plan to gamble and try our luck.. sy called his bro to ask for the card no. since that is how members are identified and i had to fake that i forgot i didn't bring my DBS card and the complimentary dish is to be counted as a dish we ordered.. but wads so funny was that our plan actually worked! maybe i sounded like a member who knew the procedures well and the voucher was deemed valid.. in additional, we also had 10% off for being a member.. a bill of 50+ became 40.40.. well worth to pay onli 10.10 for each of us.. =) left thai express promptly after settling the bill and went for some shopping.. saw tj floorball girls team on our way out and i dunno y they had to stare at the 4 of us in such a way like they never saw tjc students at marina square b4.. lolx.. ah well, sy bought herself a toy and i bought a rip curl pencil case.. went for window shopping aft dat till ard 9+ and we each headed back home.. and finally i am here blogging..

haf alot of work to do this weekend and still nt sure if i'm studying anywhere outside tmr.. ah well, i shall haf a good night's sleep for now.. that shall be it..

2008-07-08T16:52:00.003+08:00

ponned protected time for maths a.k.a. maths extra lectures today.. still going thru jct paper, see no meaning and since i felt that i wld slp during that time period no matter where am i, y nt slp at home? aft all, home's the most comfy place you can ever get.. but i shall blog b4 i slp first! haha..

ok, was rather emo and digusted during gp lesson jus nw.. seeing how evil human nature can be, how digusting humans can get and how money IS the root of all evil, i do feel some sense of remorse and disgust as i am also a human being myself.. who knows when i may turn so evil, jus like those ppl who con others of their ORGANS! yes, organs.. wifout them, human can't even think of living, even the thought of living at the most undesirable conditions is absolutely impossible.. it's realli hard to control human nature or rather the population of the "greedies".. the poor are exploited and are seemingly immolated jus to reap economic profits for themselves wifout sparing a thought for the poor.. i mean, y con the poor of their organs? n y onli the rich are entitled to first priority transplants? is money more impt than life?

i guess there's no perfect world aft all.. u eliminate the bad today, it still comes agn the next day.. that shd be every single human being's biggest regret and also the worst sin that can ever be committed by the race known as MANKIND..

Incompatible, it don't matter though
'Cause someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do, you're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable is already in my life?
Right in front of me or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
How do I find the perfect fit?
There's enough for everyone
But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

it's definitely not easy to find you but i'll try.. i'll be waiting for that soulmate but for now, i guess being on my own is the only option.. isnt't there a way out at all?

2008-07-04T18:53:00.002+08:00

today was ns medical checkup day so i wasnt in school for the entire day.. dad fetched me to tiong bahru mrt today at 7.30 am where i was supposed to meet up wif sam chye and tk 195 to CMPB.. we could haf reached very early but we ended up like fools walking nearly the whole of depot road cos' there wasn't a single sign that said CMPB at all.. so we asked ard and finally got an answer - CMPB was actually inside the def tech towers.. dam.. we shd haf gotten off at the first stop when the bus turned in to depot road but we got off at the 5th one instead.. heng the weather wasnt dat bad and we jus kept walking our way thru to CMPB..

the checkup experience was quite fun in a sense, a new experience to me.. haha.. there were all together 7 stations.. the first one was the urine and blood test.. got to pee on some special paper and had a full syringe of blood taken out aft dat.. the blood test was somewhat scary but wasnt as pain as anticipated.. phew.. station 2 was the hearing test.. a beep sound will be played and u raise ur respective hand upon listening to the sound with your left or right ear.. quite lame and easy.. 2 mins and i was out of there le.. the third was eye test.. i mus admit the eye checks abit unreliable de leh.. first they tested for colour blindness by reading the numbers which i breezed thru wif great ease, and then ltr i was supposed to read out the smallest letters at the last line from a certain distance.. i knew my left eye wasnt perfect anymore but i was asked to cover my left eye first, so i read out the letters wif my right eye.. but 6/7 letters onli, when i covered my right eye, i cld like still haf an idea of what the letters were and jus read out but in fact, i cldnt see them quite clearly.. within 5 mins, this station was over.. station 4 was the dental checkup.. nth much to say and it was very fast to clear this one.. the 5th station was the x-ray test, had to be half naked and facing this machine while holding on to ur breath so that the machine can haf pic of ur lungs.. this was quickly cleared cos' the scan was realli fast and i was the first one to do it.. the next station wld b what everyone will be discussing abt becos u nid to show ur er-hem.. but that wasnt the first thing they told u to do.. first u had to get half naked and barefooted b4 proceeding to the ecg room for an ecg test.. ltr was the measuring of height, weight and blood pressure.. now here's the part everyone's waiting for.. the last part was the consultation of the doctor, it was there then u er-hem.. but nth much also, it was a quick process.. tada! i was done for the physical part of the medical checkup and now left wif the mental part.. ended up wif a pes B.. lolx.. i tot it was a BP? heck la.. haha.. and finally the last station, station 7.. this station tests ur mental abilities through a huge variety of questions.. there were so many tests till i cldnt rmb what the questions were and how many were there.. all i noe was that i spent more than hr or so jus clicking on that com.. that was mentally draining i mus say but i still managed to complete them nevertheless.. headed out to the main counter and was cleared to leave CMPB cos the checkup had ended.. however, sam chye was stuck somewhere in the middle of the first 6 stations and was delayed throughout so i ended up waiting for him more than half an hr outside and we left CMPB promptly.. kindda shagged aft evrything was over..

while i was on the train, i kept thinking of going out but dunno where to and also wif who.. i called aloy and found out the class was going nowhere.. i called si ying and found out that all my 3 'daughters' had things on.. sam chye obviously had to meet wynne and cldnt go out.. called zhi hao also but he was going to play LAN wif his classmates.. gave it a miss cos LAN wasnt meant for me.. dam sian.. felt so so so low.. i ended up at home.. wth.. dats so pathetic.. and to think of it, it may seem i may haf alot of frens in sch but when it comes to frens that u can go out wif, i dun realli haf lots of them.. when ur clique isnt there and ur gd frens in sec sch also cant make it, i don't think i can find any other one to go out and haf fun.. and the result - it sux.. i hate this feeling.. why is this happening? argh! dammit.. oh well, maybe it's jus me..

2008-07-03T20:45:00.007+08:00

oh my and finally i'm back to blogging after 3467283647842364782634 days! yay! lolx.. dunno wad kept me held for so long but since this is my first post after so long, i shall make it a long one.. btw, it feels kindda nice to resurrect this almost long dead blog of mine..

ok so many things were on between these days.. but i cant possibly rmb all of them.. i shall jus quickly recap what i still can rmb..

1. team tjc bball

this season was my 2nd and also last to say and i wld say it came to a sweet cum bitter end.. sweet because i really liked this team and for the first time, i tot i cld play the sport well.. this was the best season i have had throughout my entire time of balling.. now, it was also bitter because we ended the season with 2 losses, and accumulated a total of 4, which was quite disappointing.. but nevertheless, these moments were definitely worthwhile.. sad to say, but sorry to all those who greatly supported the team all this while.. dam, we really wanted to play at toa payoh!

2. jun hols

mardi gras was right b4 the jun hols on a fri night.. it was really fun and my first encounter with such an event.. all the costumes realli made u think everyone was crazy.. then came the first week of the hols which i kindda slacked and studied abit for the then upcoming jcts.. it wasn't until when it was 1st of june that practically screwed up my preparation for jcts.. i had to help my parents at the newly acquired 7-11 at pasir ris mrt.. yep, it's pasir ris mrt, that's dam near my hse.. and for the first day i clocked 15 hrs of working time.. freaking tired.. n my mum told me it was a day thing onli.. such a big liar.. lolx.. i continued to help at the 7-11 for more than the next 2 weeks or so.. man, i swear i clocked more than 100 hrs in total, cld haf earned $500 but i took no pay.. [-.-] enuff of dat, i was practically there 24/7 and i dun wish to mention it agn.. even for the last week of jun hols, i was asked to go down.. wow, i can't even study, or rather, was i able to do that? as expected, i was realli so screwed that i practically touched nth for my preparation of the jcts..

3. jcts

wad more can i say? screwed up.. enuff said..

4. post jcts

yep, that's like the days now.. enjoyed alot instead of feeling depressed cause i knew there wasn't any hope for my jcts at all.. went out on several occasions to catch the latest movie like wanted and get smart.. both were quite lame shows but i think get smart is the one that could 'lamify' you more.. jus watch them and you'll know why.. haha..

i really hate nowadays.. every day passed will add on more stress to me as prelims are nearing.. it's my time to shine! muhahaha.. have been working realli hard these days to catch up my work and get better grades for prelims.. and recently, the school introduced the extra lessons system which i deem might be ineffective.. wth, it's like lessons are alr ending so late and we haf such a short break in between b4 the lectures starts, it's hard to wonder why a student will not sleep during the lecture.. i had been to 2 so far and i mus say i slept thru 1.5 of it.. it's kindda tiring and the time nearing evening is such a good time for one to turn off.. however, this may be the case for now.. who knows extra lessons might be interesting afterall? i realli hope that's the case.. it's the mugging season where everywhere is raining wif muggers..

lastly, i noe this is random, but i jus saw the trailer of hancock and the love guru.. hancock is a superhero movie and it seems quite nice and shares a bit of humour while the love guru is an absolute joke but also at the same time hot cos' jessica alba is in the movie!!! woots! 2 movies waiting for me to watch.. haha!

i guess that's all for now and to everyone looking at this blog (especially jun yi), i haf updated this blog!!!! it's nt dead yet! haha..

shall go prepare the necessary documents needed for my NS medical checkup tmr!

2008-04-05T21:48:00.004+08:00

finally, i guess it's time for some update.. i was so so sick of blogging or probably too tired to do so.. trainings, tutorials, school are simply just to exhausting.. as usual, many things happened in these 2 weeks.. i'm glad to meet up with some of my juniors, hung out wif my best pals and definitely happy to haf more time out wif my family..

enuff said, these days had been rather emo-ing.. i jus dunno y.. at times, seeing ppl together jus showed how much i was really missing.. but to think it agn, jus when i tot i was there, it all turned out to be further than i tot.. it's so on and off and beyond my control that i can't even do a shit abt it.. argh, screw this!

ah, whatever, shall look foward to tmr.. gathering at my hse to complete a GP project on designer babies.. it shall be fun i guess..

i suppose that's all i haf for now, emo-ing session calls..

2008-03-24T13:55:00.002+08:00

ok.. becos of dodo, i'm posting agn.. it's been quite some time since i last posted.. feel dam lazy to do so... kept rotting at home.. haha.. at the hub now compiling econs.. -.- and starting some childish war wif dodo.. lolx.. ok enuff of blogging, back to work! ^^

2008-03-15T12:22:00.005+08:00

wahaha! the progress tests were finally over ystd! woots! hmm, the tests were still ok i wld say.. for chem, h1 was slightly better than those h2 of cos.. n i skipped and 'tikam-ed' several in mcq and structured.. heng heng there weren't many organic questions phew.. ok abt physics, still ok la~ that's the one i studied the most so hopefully can pass lo..

enuff of dat, ystd aft the tests, me, yj, sy, zq and zh (dunno hw he popped out too but the more the merrier) actually decided to catch a movie at GV but cldn't decide on which to watch.. horton, rule #1, blah blah blah.. also dunno y hu suddenly suggested to go to ecp and poof! the 5 of us went to ecp and cycled.. lolx.. the weather was very good but there were simply too many cyclists and the bikes we rented sucked big time.. lousy until dunno wad to say..

for part 1, we went towards BIG SPLASH : Family Park.. it's realli new and u can see that some shops/restaurants are nt open yet but it's realli spacious and haf some realli interesting outlets there.. and man, that place is really a family park..

PS: it's infested with very cute little kids.. lolx..

a new bicycle rental kiosk! n the original Big Splash's jus behind it, i guess..

the realli realli huge and spacious platform.. alot of kids blading and "driving".. on the right is a new restaurant that seems nt bad..

part 2! we then ltr cycled towards bedok jetty as the sky got darker.. the weather as mentioned was so so sweet! a good day to cycle indeed.. i liked the shades of blue that we captured wif our phones.. the blue is so natural and simple which makes it feel so nice! haha.. maybe i can try taking arts huh? lolx..

the nice blue sky and part of the ecp stretch!

an even nicer sky together with the sea!

ok then we started to tk some pics at bedok jetty since it was kindda rare that we cld actually randomly come out together and enjoy! haha..

(L to R) yj, zq and sy with the first shot..

(L to R) sy, zq, yj doing a stamford raffles a.k.a. acting cool! hahaha..

family shot! lolx.. me, zq, yj and sy!

ok, sy's idea of everyone acting dao/cool.. anw, thx zh for being the camera-man.. haha..

aft enjoying ourselves, we ended our cycling session at ard 8pm and headed for parkway to haf dinner.. went to parkway's foodcourt.. happened to meet ms wong and auntie over there.. so qiao.. haha.. ms wong treated all of us the $1.10 a bowl grass jelly (which was realli nice).. the gals were like so stunned becos they also had a share of it.. haha.. thx ms wong! went to the arcade to play shooting machine aft dat and decided that it was time to go home cos it was 10 and yj also had to return to bishan! always liddat one.. but nevertheless it was a nice day out! ^^

2008-03-13T15:54:00.007+08:00

haix.. the rain hasn't stopped for long since a week or so ago.. when it rains, it gets so dark and subconsciously, emo-ness appears.. and once i'm struck wif that, i can't do anything, be it mugging or slacking, i will be stoning most of the time.. that's y i felt like blogging.. maybe it might help, i dunno.. had actually planned to mug earlier today but till now i haf nt done anything.. or rather absolutely nth! the best part is tmr is when the march progress tests are.. -.- i'm screwed, so so screwed..

when stoning, i might jus chance upon the moment to reflect wad i had done in the past or maybe recall wad were the nice moments i had b4 this very day.. time flies so fast that i can hardly rmb anything sweet.. maybe jus one or two? life is so so so empty, i dunno y too.. i noe i haf stuffs to do but i jus can't bring myself to do it.. i haf realli no source of motivation.. i need lots of help i guess.. these days had also been quite low too.. seeing what others haf, what others can do, how others cherish their happy times and yet u can't own it and u can't do it even though u r capable of doing so might be the worst nightmare anyone can haf.. can such a process be prevented or reversed once struck? it jus feels so screwed up..

在一年前，
是我第一次认识了你...
但是，
你说过在七年前，
你就已经知道我是谁，
只是没有单独碰过面...
这算是我的福气吗？
遇到你；认识你，
是我绝不会后悔的事...
很高兴与你度过一些愉快的时间...
我们也渐渐的变成了好朋友，
一起分享我们的喜怒哀乐...
但是现在，
这感觉已渐渐的消失...
我好想好想把时间转到从前，
好好地珍惜那每一分一秒...
难道我就不能把‘它’找回来吗？
我好怀念以前，
但我却不敢开口说出来...
等到那一天，
‘它’还会在吗？

2008-03-12T19:51:00.004+08:00

ok officially back from camp ystd.. too tired to update these days until today since i felt like it as there were lots of things happening.. hmm, i guess i will start on the most impt stuff that happened b4 8th march..

tues . 4th march . 'b' boys finals '08

as usual, cchms was in the finals again.. it had been 5 consecutive yrs cchms had been into the east zone finals for the 'b' boys.. n cchms had won the previous 4.. this time the opponent was none other than cchms' long time rival, ahs.. felt like cchms cld haf won that day with colin's efforts but eventually still fell short to ahs 73-72.. dat's sad but cant be helped.. it's wld haf been our 5th one, so close and yet so far.. didn't haf the time to wish the 'b' boys team all the best due to training at 5pm and the match ended at 4.40pm.. however, i realli enjoyed to meet up wif my ex-teammates.. definitely a great reunion.. they include:

marv
keong
kiat
zhan hong
xie wei
chee siang . big sam . hao [still my teammates now..]
colin . ruey [part of the '08 'b' boys team..]
han chong [pity he cldn't make it that day..]

the moments we had gone thru and shared definitely relived everytime we meet up with one another, especially aft a long long time..

i guess there might be still some other events but i jus cldn't rmb them for now since it was several days ago so y nt talk abt the march bball camp '08..

- TJC's march bball camp '08 -

day 1 . sunday . 9th march

camp starts on a sunday and one thing for sure, the sch feels so dead on a sunday.. had 2 training sessions in this day.. the morning one was crap.. doing some stupid actions, over and over again and it rained, so ended earlier.. the weather kept toying us too.. rain stopped while we were studying and started to rain agn when we were abt to start the aftn training.. it did stop for a while and it rained agn-.- forgot wad we did for that training but for sure, it was a forgettable one.. had dinner at opp and nth much happened aft that.. that's end of day 1..

day 2 . monday . 10th march

han wee was nt ard so LS and ms ang took charge.. woke up at 5.30 am and had breakfast opp.. realised that we were supposed to collect a bike for today's activity.. got lectured by LS for being late and nt showing our sense of urgency.. fine.. collected our bikes and our journey was bound for changi village.. that's at least 15 km from east coast park.. took ard an hour or so to reach there jus to realise that we were going to train at this run down court at changi village.. crap.. LS said that this court had some historical value and so we were going to train here.. more crap.. backboard breaking, rims spoilt, no nets and bad floors - what a good place for training.. n to my surprise, we were supposed to carry out the moves we were told to do ystd morning.. -.- useless shit.. and ta-da! it rained.. so took cover at the hawker centre until the rain stopped and cycled all the way back.. another 15km agn.. so it was a total of 30km for the morning and a total waste of training time.. supposed to study in the aftn but was kindda tired for it, so cant help it.. wasted some time agn.. had another training in the aftn.. played match till ard 7 pm.. headed to opp for dinner and we came back for the most fun part of the camp.. 3 games were played but i onli played for 2.. the first one was 'i had nvr'.. very simple and fun.. shaun lost the most for this one.. the 2nd one was 'sardine', an improvised hide and seek game.. played 4 rounds.. hao qing lost 2 but he also got the best hiding location.. and lastly, 'citadels'.. a card game.. seemed quite fun but i went to slp aft obeserving those who were playing.. end of day 2..

day 3 . tuesday . 11th march

the last day! yes, i was highly anticipating this! the camp was crap.. had the last training in the morning and we did a drill that was kindda physically intensive.. however, there were 2 of such activities.. LS said something abt our team but if i were to rephrase it, i guess he wld simply meant our team was not gd enuff or at all.. fine.. i dunno if sometimes the coach has to be blamed if such things happened.. training ended and quickly showered, packed and went home! end of camp.. dat's it.. had enuff..

and ystd, part of the cg went to suntec's swensens to celebrate zhen qin's bdae earlier.. so met up wif the group at ard 6pm and we had a good meal.. dat was roughly abt it and felt so shag aft things haf ended.. and today it's ZHEN QIN'S 17th BIRTHDAY! happy birthday to zhen qin! even though her bdae might be earlier than most of us, but she's still the youngest! haha..

however, good things always come to an end, very fast.. the progress tests are coming up and i am so screwed becos i had practically studied nth much.. ah, crap! die le la.. guess i wld haf to mug hardcore today and dat can't be helped.. mugging calls and yep, i haf to go for now.. sian -.- [tests sux..]

hmm.. haven been posting for quite some days alr.. always been too tired n lazy to do since it was the last week of term 1! yes, and dat means the hols are here! and oh yea, "hols".. -.- and lots of things happened as usual this week but i'm too bz to post abt that.. i guess i will when my bball camp is over, which starts tmr and ends on tues..

oh ya.. got to suntec ystd too.. was dam crowded becos of the IT fair.. however, that was nt wad i wanted cos i went there wif my mum and sis to get myself and my mum a pair of shoes each and another ankle wrap for me.. i got a new balance one while my mum got a reebok one.. and yep, i was the no. 1 spender among the 3 of us ystd.. keke.. totalling $145! lolx.. thx mum!

2008-03-03T00:13:00.003+08:00

dam tired.. the whole of today was wasted, in terms of mugging level.. was stoning at home all the day till i went to help out at 7-11 and jus came back now.. stood and worked 7 hrs non-stop.. but not much ppl today, so that 7 hrs seemed longer.. went out earlier today to play the shooting machine at white sands' arcade.. nt bad.. got improvement.. lolx.. ok, then i reached 7-11 lo.. quite sian but can't help.. see ppl come in and out, buy this but that and pay here pay there like all so standard one.. haha.. however, today's working experience seemed to be quite fun.. apparently, this fun all came from my dad's regulars, maybe a.k.a. as my dad's frens.. and today's main topic was the most wanted man in singapore now!

yes, it's the JI man, Mas Selamat Kastari.. and here are wad i heard today on why this man still cant be found..

"suggestion" A - singapore police dogs lack the ability of tracking down human..

got this uncle, A, came in to 7-11 and started talking to my dad abt it.. then here was how it went..

uncle A : wah lao eh, the police ah, no tracking dogs one sia.. have dogs also onli for sniffing heroine nia.. how to catch? no wonder that fella (obviously, it refers to the fugitive) can't be found one la..

me and my dad : (smile) hmm.. ya.. maybe..

uncle A : haiyo.. singapore onli got heroine onli meh? dunno y they nvr think also got terrorists one sia.. somemore still let someone liddat escape.. haiyo..

ok.. that was abt it and he left shortly aft..

now, another uncle, B, came in, and i guessed he had more interesting views about this issue.. here was his story..

"suggestion" B -the police let him escape purposely?

uncle B : haiyo, the police also dunno doing wad sia.. aft 4 hrs realising that fella was gone then announce? 4 hrs dunno can climb how many hills liao lo, be it that the fella limps..

my dad : hmm, ya lo..

uncle B : liddat hor, think here think there also like the police purposely let him off de leh.. 4 hrs leh! u see america.. one person gone, immediately launch mission liao ah.. somemore singapore so small.. use whole army force find cfm find one leh, still set up wad unit and let that fella hide sia..

i guess from wad i heard today, some ppl are alr losing confidence of the police force alr.. i'm included too i mus admit.. singapore is known to be one of the best in its security system and yet something like this happened, it's hard nt to doubt wad the police were actually doing back then.. but nevertheless, i still hope that they will be able to find out the real reason y did this happen asap so that, citizens like us, can try to start to drop this topic.. at least, it can bring back trust and some confidence back in our police force and security system..

hmm.. guess dat shall be it.. i feel even tired now.. hope the bad guy will get caught soon so sg will finally have some peace too..

2008-03-02T11:49:00.003+08:00

well.. no motivation to do any studying for now and since i'm so free, i've decided to blog.. this year is a leap year and 29th of feb was just 2 days back.. no special moments so maybe that day wasn't that significant at all.. tests and more tests are coming up but i think i'm quite screwed for now.. econs test coming up this tues and i'm almost halfway thru onli! haix.. dunno y also.. had been stoning and watching naruto for the past few hours.. guess i shall go mug for a while before i head to 7-11 to help my dad in the evening..

speaking of pool, it turned out to be dam fun! i had to thank adri for that.. here's how it went..
1st game: adri got the 8-ball in on the 2nd shot.. GJ 1 - ADRI 0
2nd: i won with some ease.. GJ 2 - ADRI 0

4th to 6th: dunno wad happened to adri.. maybe i had more luck.. GJ 6 - ADRI 0
final: man, it's just destined.. lolx.. i won!

FINAL SCORE : GJ - 7, ADRI - 0

2008-02-27T20:19:00.002+08:00

to think that today is the 27th of feb, it meant 364 days had passed since it was 28th last yr.. thinking of wad happened last yr, i wld say lots and lots of things happened, be it joyful ones or sorrow ones.. still rmb being in tpjc during pae, then leaving 07s18, went to tj, joined basketball, met up with so many seniors, met 09/07, 'a' div competition, common tests, SLC till the very day that i went to taipei and back.. and finally, 2008 jus arrived.. time had passed so quickly that it's time that i shd really get serious on wad i am doing..

it's gonna be the start of my 18th yr tmr and i guess i haf to be more mature at times.. i need to set and meet targets that i'm supposed.. sorting out priorities shall be my main policy.. this yr will definitely be a busy one and i hope that i wun screw it up wif one wrong move or decision.. haha..

that shall be it and i guess i shall see my last day of yr 17 to die down and happily await the start of my 18th! time to be realli realli serious!

2008-02-27T19:50:00.004+08:00

had actually wanted to post earlier but when i was abt to, my mum told me to take a queue no. at the clinic cos she was very ill.. so i had to go and it took so long that i played the shooting machine 5 times (352 - 323 - 402 - 368 - 456!).. kindda lost touch but heng heng still can always advance to final stage-.- dam pain also, i try $1.05..

hmm.. today, as usual, is the slackiest day of my timetable..

PE - i didn't run or participate becos i wanna rest my ankle..

(a short 20 mins break)

GP - quite slack, keep talking on essay skills like topic sentences and reinstatements..

(a 2 period = 1 hr 40 mins BREAK!)

PHY (lec) - the teacher like teach so slow.. onli 2 pages for today to talk abt the change in flux..

(lunch break)

CIVICS

yes! civics seem to be the most happening period i had today! mrs loo talked abt some reading stuffs first then taught us to fold hearts for some "care stuff".. aiya, dunno wad la.. agar agar can le.. seemed to be hard but turned out to be relatively easy..

dodo slacking after folding a heart

the heart that i folded! lolx!

ok then lastly, had contact time.. some athlete's talk by chin wee and jing chean from the sailing and triathlon national team respectively.. dam slack and short but still ended at 3.20pm..

2008-02-26T22:15:00.002+08:00

2008-02-25T21:54:00.005+08:00

'HOPE'

I wish the way I was livin' could stop

Servin' rocks, knowin' the cops is hot when I'm on the block

And I - wish my brother would've made bail

So I won't have to travel six hours to see him in jail

And I - wish that my grandmother wasn't sick

Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick (I wish)

And I - wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer

When the streets get the upper hand understand we lose a brother

And I - wish I could go deep in the zone

And lift the spirits of the world with words within this song (I wish)

And I - wish I could teach us all to fly

Take away the pain out your hands and help you hold 'em high

And I - wish God had never gave the men power

To be able to hurt the people inside the Twin Towers (I wish)

And I - wish God would've turned they hearts righteous

When they started to take innocent lives and become snipers

But uh - we will never break though they devastate

We shall motivate, and we gotta pray, all we got is faith

Instead of thinkin' about who gon' die today

The Lord is gon' help you feel better so you ain't gotta cry today

Sit at the light so long

And then we gotta move straight forward cause we bite so strong

So when right go wrong

Just say a lil' prayer, get your money man, life goes on... (Let's go)

[Chorus]

Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today

Take this music and use it, let it take you away

And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a way

I know it ain't easy but - that's okay

Just be hopeful

I wish that you would show some love

Instead of hatin' so much when you see some other people comin' up (I wish)

I wish I could teach the world to sing

Write some music and have them trippin' off the joy I bring

Shit - I wish that we can hold hands

Listenin' instead of dissin', lessons from a grown man (I wish)

And I - wish the families that lack but got love

Get some stacks, brand new shack, and a 'Llac that's on dubs

And I - wish we could keep achieving wonders

See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder (I wish)

You feel me - and I hope all the kids eat

And don't nobody in my family see six feet - ya dig?

I hope the mothers stand strong

You can make it whether you with him or your man's gone (I wish)

And I - wish I could give every celly some commissary

And no popo bring the heat on our peace like they did R. Kelly

And I - wish that D.O.C. could scream again

And bullets could reverse and Pac and Biggie breathe again

Shit - and one day they can speak again

I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN

I wish that enemies could talk

And that Super-homie Christopher Reeve could still walk (I wish)

I wish that we could walk the path stay doin' the right thing

Hustle hard so them kids maintain up in the game (Let's go)

[Chorus]
Cause I'm hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today
Take this music and use it, let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful, and He'll make a way
I know it ain't easy but - that's okay
Just be hopeful

Wish the earth wasn't so apocaliptic

I try to spread my message to the world the best way that I can give it

We can make it, always so optimistic

If you don't listen, gotta live my life the best way that I can live it

I pray for justice when we go to court

Wish it was all good so the country wouldn't have to go to war

Why can't we kick it and just 'em on

And in the famous words of Mister King, 'why can't we all just get along?'

Hope we can find a better way to shop in peace

And I - hope we find a better way to cop for keys

And I - wish everybody would just stop and freeze

And ask - why are fulfilling these downfalls and these prophecies

You can be wrong if it's you doubtin'

With the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains

And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt

Just let it go and keep prayin' on your knees in church (Let's go)

[Chorus]
