oh man. what is wrong with ppl these days. those who wanna go to poly last time wanna come back to ny. then those who wanna go to jc now wanna go to poly?!?! then there is the case of the super imbalance gender ratio in this year's batch of students with like a mere 300 odd guys and 500 odd girls. not to mention that ny now requires 10 pts and below to get in. and there are like 530 students trying to appeal in as of this morning. so the entire cca bazaar also became a huge failure where the bulk of students in the bazaar are j2s with almost zero j1s left by 4.

ya. plucked out my 4 wisdom tooth yesterday. what a pain. luckily there was this aneasthetic that help numb the pain and put me to sleep if not i think i would have just freaked out. 4 tooth man. that is like a lot. so now what is left is 4 5mm stitches at places where my teeth used to be. urgh. or yeeeee.... as what daph and mp put it. now i'm starting to crave for anything that aint porridge or cereal. coz after eating that for just all my meals so far, it is really starting to drive me nuts esp when my mum and dad eats prata in front of me...

oh well, tmr is time for orientation i guess. not even sure whether i wanna go for it in the first place... bless you

2007-02-20T11:53:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year. mmm. a time of loads of goodies, visiting and... ang baos!

there goes all the trng for a month. pineapple tarts, bak gua, prawn rolls, peanuts, pastries, sweets, eating and more eating... haha can't resist the temptation every time i see it.

yet when i opened my email, it occured to me that NVM is next week, and i have not done a thing bout it at all. hmm i guess i shall put it aside and use it as a fat burner then. who cares bout winning man.

2007-02-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

happy valentine's day!

thanks to all those who gave me chocolates and gifts esp juian, karmun, hek ming, james, jonathan... etc and others whom i forgotten to mention.

though i am still single, but today was still super fun. fun disturbing darren, finding out bout kaishuo's crush, binging on chocolates, spending time with my class, getting into the spirit of valentine's day haha. oh yah my dad gave my mom this ring and necklace too. so romantic.

had such an enjoyable day. however since i'm tired from training too i shall say gdbye and got to catch some sleep.

2007-02-12T20:45:00.000+08:00

finally a weekend that i truly felt relaxed... yet it is over as of 12 midnight tonite. haha dun need to go to sch today coz j1's gotta choose the sch they wanna go.

fri- went for The One 2007. Javin won. too bad for Poh boon man. though he still managed to get quite a number of votes. lolz he just lack the star appeal. Javin however had star appeal and also sang quite well so naturally he won esp when all the bballers placed all their votes on him. ziqing and sheila went to sing too. i think they did quite well lah. just chose the wrong song i think. haha seriously good try (:

as for the release of the O level. for those who did well, congrats. however, dun get so cocky over ur results and better start mugging. for those who did not do as well as expected, just chill out and pray over it. take the remainder of the days to think over. it aint over yet. and lastly for the ppl who aint staying due to various reasons, bye. thanks for the last month.

sat- db+cell group+svc+fellowship
man that was one after another from 9am-10pm. what a ride man.
trng was crazy. gotta row with 2, not 1 BUT 2 tyres. that was after couple of sprints here and there. imagine an hr of rowing with those 2 huge algae-filled tyres that strangely reminded me of those circle thingy ppl hang outside their doors during xmas...
after trng then went to eat carl's junior with eric, tandy and yihe. man i was so famished. quickly gulped it down then chiong from dhoby gaut all the way to pasir ris at da jie's house. and i was so shagged that i almost missed took the train back from pasir ris to boon lay coz i was sleeping on the train. luckily i woke up in time man.

then went to da jie's house, and saw the 2 kittens. super cute sia. one brown and another grey.
ya. then later went to church. and i saw on all the seats in church this red color bag that i at first tot was a wine bag or had oranges in it but instead i got stunned when i opened it...

it was a .... bottle of CIF and a sponge.
later then we found out that it was a hint asking the members to help clean up the house before CNY. wow big hint sia. lolz

ya. after svc went to fellowship with cg basically terri, huixiang, huili, john, gerade and felix. ate at expo coz everyone did not want to travel too much. haha we still had loads of fun there. spent time taking loads of dumb pics. this was mainly due to me having to bring the stupid paddle everywhere. it was so pai sei lah. everyone stares at u when u enter the bus or train...haiz all because the cupboard broke into 3 pcs last week. anyway we stayed till around 10 plus before finally leaving as expo is kinda far esp for the peeps staying in the west.

then sunday was spent resting. went to pass some stuff over to my aunty with my mum. then later went to clean up the house. finally watched the last pck episode last nite. so sad. after 10 yrs, we gotta hang up those yellow boots, curly hair and the mole. lolz. goodbye to the childhood of an entire generation. dun pray pray. lolz

2007-02-08T22:31:00.000+08:00

tmr will be the day for the j1's to get their O level results. woot. nothing much to say other than God bless.

Valentine's day is coming too. with more ppl disturbing me again...

no mood to do much lately. must focus on the purpose of this yr. focus. focus.

2007-02-05T22:08:00.001+08:00

FRI. THE DAY THAT SO MANY PPL IN MY CLASS WILL LEAVE…. SO SAD MAN. THE DAY THAT THE RESULTS WILL BE RELEASED.

The day when my o level results was released is still clearly etched in my mind. It was a day where I strangely felt at peace in my heart. That day I remembered it so clearly.

I woke up that day feeling like it was just a dream. It was not how I imagined it as back then like when ppl just walk up one by one to collect this slip of paper that shows u the fate of the next 2-3 yrs of ur life. But instead it was just signing this stupid paper that tells u how many points u scored. Then taking the testimonial. And finally realizing that the actual cert will only be given at a later date.

Later on, I spent the rest of the day hanging out and walking round sch thanking all the teachers who spent so many hours doing consultation like mrs Elaine Goh, Mr Toh, Mr Heng, Mr Danny Ng… and of course ms saras. (the person who gave us hell for 2 yrs.)
Then we walked around the sch remembering the old times we had together. The suicide window where I broke my arm, the scout den where we used to play bridge and carem, the track where i finally broke the 1030 barrier. The grandstand which floods like a waterfall. Oh well still got many more. So many 1st times had taken place there. haiz

That day, when I saw my L1R5 got 12. I was so relieved yet at the same time utterly disappointed. Relieved that I did not score as bad as my prelims before moderation (24). Yet disappointed that I did not do better to get out of nyjc. At that time I seriously thought that ny really suck. Other than a couple of good frens here and there, there was seriously nothing that attracted me to stay.

Well at least that was till I met the 0622 gang lol. Loads of fun times. Sometimes though it was seriously dumb but well at least we still get a good laugh out of it. Haha I still rmb the 2 clubs we had then. The GAY club and the muggers club… man those were the days.

Then there was also the long and tiring cca. Hey but though it was tough but that entire yr with the krt ppl like yanhan, Brandon, jinsheng, Elaine, chee siong, Cheryl, derick, jeanette, yee lee, Kenneth and all was just absolutely wonderful. Going through thick and thin together. That’s the spirit man.

All I just really wanna say is for ppl who are gonna get their results this fri , dun make ur decision so fast. When u get ur result, go talk to ur parents and teachers. Then afterwards think through then make the final decision. Ny can still be a fun place. It all depends on individuals to make it happen. So take care now.

God bless.

2007-02-02T22:19:00.000+08:00

after econs....

photos!

oh yah then econs lecture we had to listen to a story bout bob the cow and his misadventures. how he got milked and then later skined and used as beef and leather. poor bob. how can one kill such a lovable cow. lol.

man today is really crappy. my knee got busted again. every step i make, it will make this loud cracking sound and u can feel the ligament at the knee cap shifting from right to left and left to right. it had been almost 3 months without this nonsense and now it came back again. sian. it first started off with a crack. then it will lead to a pain in the knees when u climb stairs or exert too much, finally the pain will come after each step u take, resulting in a hobble...

pray that o level's come out on mon. then i get 3 days hol. hehe. and for those who have yet to recieve their results, i wish them God luck. seriously. and try not to think bout it too much, it aint much of a big deal. what is done is done. nothing can change that fact now.

oh well gonna tuck in to sleep now. chows

2007-01-28T15:50:00.000+08:00

hmm quite a bit of stuff happened over the past 3 days or so.

went to celebrate melvin's birthday on fri. haha the second person in 0622 to be 18! and the oldest guy in class. hehe now if u wanna go get stuff like alcohol we all know who to get from... just kidding. sad guy man. got stripped of his shirt at the tables outside LT4 during common lunch. ya so the entire 0622 gang went to have pizza there to celebrate his birthday.happy birthday dude.

then straight after that, i went to my NEW class lol. 0735! haha. had a class lunch this time. and we celebrated karmun's birthday. the OLDEST one in class. lol. i think if u are a jan baby. u have this super high chance of being the oldest in class. happy birthday gal. ya. i think the 0735ians are slowly bonding together man. soon the cliques thing will be gone and we'll be one happy class lol.

then yesterday, went for trng in the j2 boat. woah the difference was like so huge lah. i mean champion boat is seriously super light compared to SDBA boat. however as the saying goes, "with great power, comes great responsibility" though the boat was light, we got to increase the intensity to allow max power. and the stroke taught was also quite different. this time must use legs too. the difference in timing was also quite great, i heard... 30s! its like a 50-100m difference.woah.

man, db is seriously like drama. got love story, sad story, backstabbing and all. this is scary man. shan't mention much details. but sheesh, there is nothing wrong bout not being able to row, it's more on the attitude than the physical aspects. it's not like he wanted to have such a prob so just give him a break and lay off him...

after all that rowing, then went home to watch the SGP vs MAS match. one word to describe it- "BORING". when i turned on the TV. the 1st thing i saw was lionel lewis let the ball just bounced off him and entered the goal. it was like omg, this can't be happening man. letting in the goal at such a crucial period. furthermore, it was something that could have been avoided...
then after couple of min, SGP also scored! it was quite a relief man. if we lost, i would not dare to be dressed in yellow at the national stadium. then blah blah... quite a long while later, it broke into penalty shootout. then singapore finally won. oh well at least this time lionel lewis did not screw up at the last shot. if not he'll have the whole 55k worth of ppl over him.

then there was church svc today. as usual it was another awesome svc. however this time was pastor Dr. A.R. Bernard. his word was seriously like super impactful. he went over the key issues of kristos kai kosmos or christ in culture. oh yeah! nxt wk is Ps Ulf Elkman's conference. mm must make it a point to go.

ok. now time to chiong some maths hmwk. toodles

2007-01-25T22:14:00.000+08:00

went to crash 0622's physics tutorial today. it was quite funny coz low chee wai counted 23 ppl in the class and tot all were present. actually derick was absent and i was the stow away... so lesson continued as per normal till when low chee wai wanted to check the homework. then he suddenly realise that i was from 0622 but is not in 0622 now. lol. took him like 25 min to figure that out. oh well there goes the surprise.

great now we got to wait till mid feb for chinese a levels and pw. while the rest of the 0735ians are worrying bout whether they can get a good and decent o level grade to stay or go to their dream education center. man that feels like centuries ago. the feeling of getting ur o level results. the feeling when u saw that u did better than prelims yet not enough to bring u where u want. the feeling when u found out that u are stuck in this school that u dislike (mainly coz of ur sucky first 3 months teacher and also coz u require that one more point to get out of here) **not that i dun like my new class after that**. the feeling when u finally realise 1st 3 months is all a lie. the final realisation that promotion aint a breeze and the term holidays means study leave.

ok. enough of me getting all sentimental bout the past. but oh well. this is the hard fact of reality these ppl gotta face soon. time to walk down that path again. yet at a different perspective.
cya.

2007-01-22T21:26:00.000+08:00

after one entire week with my new class, all i can sadly say is that i still can't rmb everyone's name and face :'(

let's seethe ppl i know by name and face:

1. chunying
2. kuan huai
3. arrun (haha my 1st indian fren :P)
4. zi qing
5. erica
6. hui juian
7. harry
8. clarissa
9. darrel
10. joe (nv in class all day. but i still see him in the gym somedays)
11. sally
12. sophie... this one is a bit hard coz she got a twin. and i can nv tell them a part
13. jonathan
14. qi hui
15. kar mun

hmmm... i think that's all i can rmb so far. i know its a bit sad but well, at least i know half of them. the others i can recognise the face but not the name. i always take a while to know ppl's names unless if i hav some affinity with them or they are well just prominent ppl.

2007-01-21T21:10:00.000+08:00

3 months from super tanned to fair. 1 day to reverse the process.

trng is gonna get tough man. but as the saying goes when the going gets tough, we must be tougher to overcome it.
i think my fitness have grossly gone to the dogs man. running is now like a new found fear...

ok nvm bout that. tmr will be a fresh new week and i'll get to see my class again. haha. this yr's j1's are super weird. really weird. all mugging and homework and close to zero fun. oh man. it's only 1st 3 months man. they can still take it easy. wait till the fun time is over, then even if they wanna have fun, they also cannot. haha. oh well also considered good for me, i can concentrate on studying this way...

2007-01-17T21:53:00.000+08:00

tired. exhausted. sian. brain dead.

elated. satisfied. warmth.

the 2 types of feelings i usually have in sch these days.

my new class 0735

2007-01-15T14:42:00.000+08:00

Ooooo my new class 0735!

rough stats on my class:
civics tutor is mr william yeo
chinese teacher is still ms Goh mui lien :P, econs teacher is haniss (sure die liao), maths teacher is mr tan something... the com lab tech guy.

got i think 10 girls and 12 guys or the other way round...
filled with like 5 xinmin and 5 nanchiau (but still no one as short as melody).
no cat high, tk, chung cheng, amk, beatty ppl.
got one wanna join db, one wanna join kayak, one wanna join odac, one in rugby, another one or two joining choir.
haha at least all of them seem fairly nice ppl, and so far i have not caught sight of any true muggers unlike in 0622 where almost everyone is a mugger.

my timetable seems fairly ok if i dun take chinese.
mostly around 3 plus other than fri which has pe till 5.30.
but there is like 2h break every day!

2007-01-14T12:04:00.000+08:00

RAIN DOWN

seriously this few days have been raining like no tmr. 1st there was the haze period where everyone wants it to rain. now when it actually happens, we all want it to stop. haha i pity my bro and sis who have camps this 2 weeks man. when it rain this bad, no one wanna go out, furthermore go for a camp lol.

rain rain go away,

come again another day.

anyway yesterday we had a powerpacked svc man. Delirious? came to our church! it made the entire church like a rock concert, with the cool music, lighting and of course not to mention the stars of the svc! and they sang loads of my fav songs, like rain down, majesty etc. super cool svc haha

2007-01-11T20:58:00.000+08:00

time to show ppl some magic

http://www.nanyangjc.org/departments/index.php?show=Science&p=3
look at the teacher right in the center called So Seok Hoon teaching Chem

then take a look at Heng Seok Choo teaching Physics
http://www.nanyangjc.org/departments/index.php?show=Science&p=4

finally try to spot the similarities

well if u have not suspected it, they are SISTERS lol.
today during chem lecture, mrs so told us herself. she saw us all bored and decided to entertain us.
and mrs so not only look like her, but she aslo speak like her, sound like her and even make the same type as joke as her....

2007-01-09T12:14:00.000+08:00

ok i know this aint the right time to be blogging but well my lesson alr ended.

the past 2 days of sch have been quite normal i guess other than the fact that u got 2 lessons a day for the whole week even though it is an official sch day.

i found out 2 things... the j2 teachers this yr is seriously quite bad compared to the j1 teachers. as in seriously. so far after going for maths econs geo and gp i decided that this fact holds.

and update on one of the things kwek decided to do this yr is finally making drawstrings officially official as jj puts it. he made like 2 other j1s go model for the whole level yesterday. and mr chng also had to model too lol. this is like one of the few things he did that the sch approves lately. well i guess it is a start for him lol.

with official class tutorial only starting next week, i will finally start my sch term officially meanwhile just continue waiting through long breaks and pathetic bits of lessons here and there.

2007-01-07T20:37:00.000+08:00

over the past 2-3 days, after reading up on books and the papers, seeing the type of stuff ppl are going through, then going out with frens, hearing their problems, i suddenly felt like i am one of the few fortunate ppl in life who were lucky enough to have not much misfortune really happened in their life...

i mean there are ppl in the world suffering frm family problems, some had hol turned to nightmare due to new year bombings, some had relationship prob, others have to face the fact that their child is mentally-disabled thus they decided to stop the child frm growing to allow them as parents to take care of the child.

then looking at my own life where almost all problems are related to sch and cca, which can be solved quite easily i feel that it is a blessing. sure i do quarrel with my parents sometimes, i do have feel lonely at times and sometimes i really feel utterly lousy with myself and everything around me, life is difficult but ultimately it is something everyone will face and what i've suffered is nothing compared to some ppl i guess.

life must go on no matter what happens and we cannot take every small little problem to heart. let go. be free in Him and give Him all ur problems and stop worrying bout the problem. solve it not ponder and curse over it.

2007-01-03T21:03:00.000+08:00

Apparently mr kwek is doing something really drastic to NYJC’s system.

1.he retained 74 students from 2006. apparently it was 10% of the cohort and one of the highest in Singapore not even MJC can compete.
2.he then made the retainees go through some program (which seem quite worthless so far) for the 1st 3 days of sch instead of what most of the j1s are doing. ( though it help me get out of the incredibly stupid mass dance but that aint the point check this link to understand http://youtube.com/watch?v=FzRJPPy29gU )
3.he is trying to close down every single darn cca he can all in the name of low budget due to lack of results. track and field, bowling were the first victims then now kayak, odac, db will soon join their path if something aint done soon
4.he spends the sch budget on making ridiculous things like synchronizing all the sch clocks with one main one, then re-flooring the entire gym though the previous floor was ok, make dumb panels that are incredibly unnecessary huge in the toilets (so that’s where all the supposed lack of funds go.
5.since he felt that the sch English standard suck so he added a couple more hours of GP into the J2s timetable.
6.he tried to get rid of a sch song and also change the entire uniform color which though ugly has been an age old tradition.

He seriously seems like cat high’s principal lee hak boon. The type who would spend money on stones and ponds yet won’t spend on the paper for student worksheets. The type that will spend money to get the sch’s name on a sports drink (ch jive… instead of h2o isotonic drink).
The type that will get rid of an age old tradition to say the school pledge and instead come up with the sch motto of his own. The type that would totally change the whole sch’s image no matter what it takes no matter what.

hmmm… whether it is really feasible for all that change to affect the students that I dun know for a fact, but all I know all the actions must be explained no matter what. coz these actions will affect the students and he cannot work without at least explaining the rationale behind it all.

sch tmr

2007-01-02T22:25:00.000+08:00

school starting tmr...
and the best thing bout it is i dun even know whether i need to go tmr. renkai just told me he have no clue bout which og i am in or what the sch wanna do bout ppl like me.

i mean like what the ...
aint the sch system like crap enough. so am i suppose to report to the hall tmr or am i not even retained (which is like 0.000000000001% chance of happening) ?
?!?!?!?!
what is this all about?

oh well tmr then see how i guess. for now must sleep if not tmr sure die lah.
cya

new year day

2007-01-01T19:38:00.000+08:00

first post of 2007 !

the first thing i saw this morn was the thailand bomb blast on the news. urgh. can't ppl these days get a life. i mean fancy bombing up like more than 7 bombs in the capital of a country during new year's eve. what type of sick idiots will do that. luckily there were few casualties... haiz so sad. must keep praying for thailand. recently a lot of things happen there like the recent stock market thing and the military coup.

well on a llighter note,
went to Gerade's house just now. super nice of him to open his house up for us. and his mom prepare like loads of food! she started like 3plus in the morn... omg so early. while ppl count down she prepare the food for today... so nice.

ok that's all that happen today. now must start to get ready to go back to lead a j1 life on wed...

2006-12-31T21:04:00.000+08:00

today we had cg appreciation day/ new year party! basically went to huimin's house and have some games and food. haha we played win, lose or draw and some guessing of song title game and treasure hunt. lol suppose to get 5 strands of hair, 5 10c coins, 4 watches, a necklace and an mp3 plus some stuff i forget... haiz sadly we lost coz no one wanted to pluck their hair. so sad...

anyway today is the time for me to make my new year resolution with just less than 3h to new year.

Spiritual life
1. read the Bible at least 3 more times (till now i think i barely read finish it once)
2. daily devotion and prayer once a day with at least 15min when i start and slowly increasing to an hr as the year goes by. ( one of the resolutions i made that nv came to pass this yr. but i believe this year it will. must be disciplined)
3. go into either usher ministry or children's church ministry (serve the ppl. haha love the small kids lol)

Family and friends
1. able to find a buddy that u can speak to no matter what the issue is. (new class le hope can find a good friend there)
2. spend more time with my family ( this yr i hardly spent one day a week with my family... got trng and studies haiz)
3. be able to open up my feelings to other ppl (sshh i managed to hide most of my feelings this yr... no one knows not even my parents.)

Emotional and personal growth.
1. be more sensitive to ppl's needs ( cannot be so 'dao' anymore)
2. be more tolerant to advice
3. learn how to play a guitar (one of this yr's resolution i failed to complete)

Health
1. 25 pull ups by june ( i think the last time i went gym was in sept... feeling so weak now)
2. 4.8km in under 20min (must start running every morn when sch reopens)
3. 2.4 km in 9min30s by june
4.weight to be maintained at 60kg.( this hol gained like 5kg le)

Education
1. make sure i pass every single darn test
2. then after fulfilling (1) then to get AABB

this year was a terrible year for me in terms of spiritual life and studies. luckily i had the hol to set it right but then it also meant that this yr was more or less wasted so next yr must really buck up.
JIA YOU!!!

i really enjoyed this hol... with so many diff experiences like working, 2 chalets, wonderful xmas (which had like 45000 ppl attending the xmas svc hehehe like 0.0125% of singapore's population was at city harvest last weekend), meeting new frens ( like gerard, seetoh, yingwei, heidi, charise, weeqin, liqin), gathering of old frens (like roger, ivan, james, wayne), revising some sch work, finishing pw (at last), celebrating new year day later.

it is really God's will to bring me back to this ever faithful cg of mine i guess. as it was really pure coincidence that i was ushered to a seat just beside them that fateful afternoon. if not for that usher, i really dun think i can get out of this pit hole now. oh well, a new year means new beginnings and new friends. i really hope that 2007 will be a yr full of wonderful memories like this yr yet without as many huge setbacks as 2006.

PS: delirious coming to church on jan 13-14 haha how exciting

oh yah i finally found out who was my angel.... it was WEEQIN haha lolz she gave me a shirt. haha not bad lor considering she is so young and can find such a nice shirt. haha luckily my mortal yingwei also like her gift. (ps: 1st time i had to buy a girl something lor so not bad le)

haha after the svc yesterday we went to the glutton square beside the esplanade to grab some foodies and fellowship yeh then later played datona at MS. grrr john was so bad lah whole day ram ppl till they overturn...

then today i met up with gerade, yingwei, huili and heidi. then later we played bumper car at the carnival. apparently we met peishan and gang so we all played bumper together. haha luckily john was not around if not he wld be so dead hehe

haha i luv xmas. happy birthday to our Lord, Jesus.

for those who saw the straits article forum article today
http://www.chc.org.sg/english/main.cfm

actually i typed a whole lot more but the internet sort of crashed and i felt so fed up that i just decided to link it up. anyway my mom tried to pull me into her church after seeing that article, saying mine was a cult where we worhship the pastor not God. then i rebutted saying she have not seen or heard my pastor preached so how wld she know. so since she can't explain that, she used my dad and said if i wld like to see him get saved, i shld go to her church. then i told her there was no link and that my dad agreed to go to her church w/o me in the equation.

bottomline:
she just can't accept a contemporary way of worshipping God. and she wants me to go to her church. and i dun wanna do that as i feel that there is where my roots are. i seriously feel that my mom has her point and all coz my church is so far away but to me chc is where my spiritual brothers and sisters are.

PS: i finally got the gift for the angels and mortals game. and i shan't say whose one it is. just in case the person finds out (=

2006-12-17T19:10:00.000+08:00

i've not felt such a strong presence for such a long time

2006-12-13T21:02:00.000+08:00

going to work tmr... haha
just did the interview yesterday... not bad at least the guy who interviewed me was nice so was the guy at the reception. the worst one is the phone girl. when i called the office, she gave me the type of "kk i got it dun bug me..." attitude.

at least get to kill some time of this long hols... not to mention earn some bucks while helping some charity organisation coz the job is for some fundraising thing. i think it is not bad considering u are not working just for ur own gains in a way... haiz lately there is so much stuff to do. esp with xmas around and the gifts and cards have to be done.

2006-12-10T22:26:00.000+08:00

15:35:32h

yanhan: hey! how's everything. just wanna check if you eould want to carry on trng?

me: just asking do u all have enough ppl to row?

yanhan: still can manage. but for now js(jing sheng) has no boat. dunno what coach gg to do bout him.yup.

me: how come? anyway i am not sure bot coming back coz competition is in july rite?

yanhan: cause mainly due to strokes. coach has let him try all kinds of boat but still not confirmed. yup. i was suppose to go on k2 with him but in the end didn't also. yup.. it's in july and our marathon is on 28 jan so wanted to ask you so you can make it back for the race.

me: are you all short of members to join the competition

yanhan: well, ny is always short of members. haha. we have like 10 ppl now? haha

why must you msg me today when i was enjoying something i had not done for months? your msg made me feel that i was sort of like the cause of all that trouble and at the same time it made me wonder whether am i really such a key person or am i just a person whom u need to fill the no.s

thou have decided that He will reign in my life. and that i will not go for any form of trng whom ever ask of me. this decision is final man. sorry yanhan and the rest of the team but i've decided to put God as my top priority with my studies after it.

2006-12-08T14:57:00.000+08:00

last nite i watched this documentary called "battle of the sexes".
super sad sia. the guys got owned in almost evry thing like empathy test, language ability, hearing and some other stuff which i forgotten. the only thing they won in was things like car racing, and making use of physio-spatial skills to manouver a tractor around to do some stuff. the cool thing was this test to see if testostrogen can affect ur breathing and how fast u run. and they can find out frm the diff between the length of ur ring finger and index finger who is the fastest runner in ur grp as testostrogen affects ur body too.

oh yah and today i went to jj's hogc 24h praise and worship. it was quite cool lah for a small church to hold such an event. and i saw some cat high ppl there too. haha with faith, impossible is nothing lolz. ok now i am bored and gotta go for tuition... u know the one who looks like jason.(though his teaching is very good and concise)

2006-12-07T20:52:00.000+08:00

tired, broke but happy.

2 chalets in a row. well i won't say it was the best that i have went for in my life but well i enjoyed them both. haha cheers to the organisers man.

now time to go back to my dreams cya

2006-12-04T22:53:00.000+08:00

gosh am i exhausted... i can barely walk w/o feeling the ache in my thighs and calf. that was only half a marathon and at first i thought it shld not be much of a problem ( as in not so killer). anyway the route was so screwed sia. at first for the 1st hr or so i was jogging quite happily as ppl around me were encouraging each other and joking around, furthermore the weather was nice... or so i tot. half an hr more into it, i was like going when is this gonna end... finally at the 1 1/2 hr mark i so the finish line and tot it was a little more but once again i was wrong... i saw the distance marker saying 5 more km. apparently we had to make a huge loop around kallang to get there. ok blah blah anyway after 2 grueling hrs of running with my legs cramping at the last km and my feet hot while body freezing for the last 6km, i finally made it out alive, though barely. anway so later i met up with roy and alvin who had completed slightly earlier than me and we waited for the rest and later took some photos.

oh well then after that i rushed down for prayer meeting and later prepared for huimin's birthday chalet lolz... after 2 months of prep and organisation, today was the grande finale to it all where we all get to fellowship with past and present E30 members and other friends. oh btw this was where the present came in(rmb the one i had to shop for 4h with terri, huili and peishan on fri) anyway we stayed on for the nite basically fellowshiping and having fun knowing more ppl like some new friends and all. i dun believe it man, at first we started out with uno stacko then later it was captain ball then monkey and finally the game least likely to be played in a church chalet... bluff. lolz. haha the entire thing was so fun. huimin had so many gifts sia, some were a gift in a gift lolz haha so blessed. oh yah i made 2 new friends there, amanda and daniel. they were so freaky at first glance due to their gothic outfit and all with eyeliner and black nail polish but actually they were quite nice ppl who know how to have fun and well also are considerate. i mean they were the guest and all yet they still help clear the stuff w/o anyone saying and they are super nice lah.... i shan't mention the incident here if not later i will offend others but trust me they are nice ppl. sure goes nv judge a book by it's cover.... haha

anyway another chalet tmr... gonna be fun

2006-12-01T23:57:00.000+08:00

man i did one of the most impossible things in my life today. i went to shop with some friends for women's apparel. it took us like 4h to buy 2 tops and a bag not to mention to walk through the entire ps and bugis. it was till today that i realise there is so many things to look out for just to give girl some gift. u got to look for design, taste, whether she has it or not (or similar design), the wrapping, the card, the acesseries etc... omg i almost died there just to see 3 girls finding one top... coz they even noticed this small little stitch go out of place and all... i think i will not do this ever for a long time to come... too bad i was only guy there and it made the situation worst as i was so lost....

2006-11-30T22:28:00.000+08:00

today i read on the papers bout sparing the rod spoiling the child. i feel that though it is true that by not hitting them or punishing them, as a parent is in fact harming more than benefitting the child, however i personally feel one cannot solely beat the child, without telling the logic behind. this is because if not the child will feel that he has not done wrong and as a parent u are just beating him indiscriminately. furthermore, as a child, they cannot help them differentiate right or wrong and just by beating w/o reason, it may lead to unnecessary trouble and breed violence.. oh well a 2 prong approach must be done to handle such situation in both a rational and benefitial way, to allow a healthy relationship between both the parent and the child. however no one said it was easy lolz...

2006-11-29T22:27:00.000+08:00

just came back from "open season" the movie. it was quite nice though the very short climax. quite a dumb plot but well it was funny lolz. i got the tickets for free coz it was some charity premier that my dad's company and the scout association organized at grand cathay. the price for the ticket was actually $30 so it was quite a steal xD. and it came with complimentary popcorn and 4 bookmarks ( which is the pic on top).

yesterday i spent basically the day with some of the class peeps cycling at ecp for 4h. and surprisingly i still feel like nothing. man this is weird. imagina running for just 2h and i dun think the effects will be the same.

oh well...

2006-11-28T10:54:00.000+08:00

Did you ever sort of wondered who your true friends are and who are the type of friends who are just “friends” because you are from the same organization as him or her? Well, this thought has been on my mine for a long time now ever since June 2005. it was then did I realize many of my supposed best friends are not even worth calling as friends. After I prematurely left my cca, half of them did not even bother to talk to me anymore, pretending that you are not there even though they just walk past you. Gone were the days that we could joke and talk about mundane things in life and school, for now we are like strangers on a street, who don’t know each other at all.

What does it mean by true friendship? It means a relationship where ppl care for u coz of who u r inside, not your rank or just because you belong to the same grp as them thus they got to show this sense of pseudo-friendship thing. U mean after spending so long with each other, that’s all you can do? Once I was ur friend and now a stranger? Can’t friendship last even after the common point between u and the person is gone?

Some ppl may say friendships come and go with the seasons. Friends can always be made again and old friends will often disappear as you are separated by time and space. However are the friends around us always really a true friend who goes through thick and thin with you no matter whether the type of situation?
For me, I had found mine in church… ( I know what you are thinking… “ ah another church propaganda thingy”… lol but it’s not) this grp of friends are the type that will help when I am in need and will accept me for who I am not what I can do for them.

I hope that true friendships will not be a rare thing but instead last through the ages of time….

I never thought I'd see this day,

I never thought I'd feel this way,

You...a stranger to me now.

I'm left with emptiness...

I wish I knew how it could be,

That we were once so open and free.

You were like my brother.. yet so much more

I wish I would have seen what I see now before.

For, I did not and it's too late...

My friend is now unknown.

And what hurts the most is I now know..

What I lost.. and I'm alone.

To face a challenge life has sent,

And not a moment with you I've spent.

I hope one day I can forgive you, my friend..I miss you....Why did you go?

2006-11-27T23:17:00.000+08:00

pics say a thousand words... anyway i dun feel like talking today

i'll only give it 5.5/10

2006-11-25T09:27:00.000+08:00

i finally got the SCM's race pack... it came with a jersey and some other stuff like brochures and pre and post race briefing blah not to mention... pasta. yep pasta that can be found in supermarts. why in the world did they give pasta for??? so weird. and the race pack itself is no longer a shoebag but those sling bags like most of the girls are using in sch now... lucky there was an extra strap given if not then really sian le

anyway i met with mel to get back my wallet and with jj to get the pack then finally with borne and jj to get borne's booties. and on the way i saw 5 scouts from cat high, namely marcus, nengjie, aaron, gordon and ong ah... what a coincidence.

SCM in 9 more days.

weird dreams and shanghai trips

2006-11-23T18:48:00.000+08:00

ah finally my com is working...

after the one week trip in shanghai, i realise one thing. chinese have the hardware but utterly lack software. so basically my mum and i with my bro and sis went to this place called "shanghai 老街". the place sold antiques and also the famous xiao long pao :D anyway so the place was super crowded and this man happen to bump into my mum seemingly on purpose coz the stretch of road we walked on had quite a bit of space to manouver and yet he purposely walked straight into her. so basically she sort of cursed in english under her breath... and this guy instead of saying sorry started scolding all the hokkien profanities on and on while walking away... haiz i can't say it was totally his fault for this, but he could have at least apologise....

well shanghai is nice but it is like super polluted. i think the psi there can be easily 120 almost evry day. so in comparison to the more rural hangzhou (i went there for 2 days by train) , i still prefer hangzhou esp the west lake where the sights are serene and charming. oh one thing happen at hangzhou that was super funny. we went to this temple that day and then later visited the tomb of yue fei, however according to locals they said that if u wanna visit the 2 places you shld go to the tomb 1st then the temple or else bad luck will fall on you / your wishes in the temple will not come true.
so when my sis heard it, she just said " there is no such thing lor ..." well she did not get to complete the sentence as when she stepped into the tomb itself, and said that sentence, she immediately fell and tore her pants ( knees part)
well some say this is coincidence, while others say it is the work of yue fei haha

now that i am finally back in singapore, i finally decided to end my one year career as a canoeist... and decided to focus more on my studies and God. well this decision was a weird one coz i seriously did not wanna quit frm kayaking... it reminds me of last yr where i had also quit my cca early just to study too. furthermore that nite i was thinking on my bed about which will come first in my life cca or religion, and then just when i was about to make up my mind, huili called and asked me if i was going for service with the cell grp... it was then that i decided to go for religion and studies and also sadly to leave the team...

since that nite i had been having loads of weird dreams. one involved melvin and his grandma asking me for something. another one was with marcus leong and neng jie (scout), and another was me being a jedi knight from star wars or something and then there was one with my ai tong frens arghhh just so weird all my frens are in my dreams...

oh and SCM is in 10 days and i also have cell grp chalet and class chalet one after another.... sian

2006-11-08T22:58:00.000+08:00

hey dudes, 1stly today i wanna thank my pw grp for gging through one entire year with me.... thanks mel tm loyi and anna for suffering through all that nonsense with ivay with me.

HAHA ITS OVER... no more pw for the rest of my life YESSSSSSSS!!!!

next i will also thank u guys who sent me off just now through the gates in the airport... yes for those who dunno, i am at the airport now typing this. thanks jj mel borne rk tm loyi mp melody and of course lebron haha thanks guys if u did not pei me i'll be like so sian... :)

haha i promise to post the pics of the trip when i get back ok? anyway to those who still need to suffer this nonsensical pw gd luck haha enjoy ur time with ivay and relax k?anyway cya i need to go soon so till next wk enjoy urselves and dun miss me lol

2006-11-06T12:12:00.000+08:00

miracles and wonders do happen. and it all happened on sat.

haha after one whole night of mindless stuff like watching DVD's that dun have sound and playing cards with mel, jj, borne, edmund, and rk... gee i am tired and i still have op rehearsal later...

2006-11-02T19:55:00.000+08:00

Your eyes make the darkest days bright
Your smile warm up the coldest nights
Your laughter makes bleakest of days much more promising

Watching you everyday is like a blissful torment
To be able to see you
Yet not know you

Seeing your angelic face,
Will cast away the darkness settled deep in my heart.
Hearing your voice
Soothes the internal conflicts I have with myself

It is you whom I can open my heart to
It is you whom understand me most
For it is you whom I want to be with

"The heart is willing but the body is not."

class invasion

2006-11-01T19:37:00.000+08:00

woah our class seriously makes it seems like there is no a levels in like 2 days time. basically today after wasting 45 min in sch supposedly to file the GPF, they all decided that 845 was too early to go home so like half the class decided to chiong my house... there were the mastermind jj, big mel and small mel, borne, edmund, anna, loyi, yuanwen, mp and daph. this is so wrong lah imagine 9 ppl squeezing into my cluttered room...(melody and daph came later coz of some op thing)

yah so basically they came all the way to my place and played poker cards(dai dee, argh dunno how to spell lah but u know what i mean), monopoly, badminton, table-tennis and the guys later went to swim... haha for once we seriously had some fun though shagged yet still feeling satisfied after the entire day. most of them left around 2 plus but the guys stayed on and chilled out in the pool for about an hour or so... hmmm finally a mini class gathering eh where ppl can put aside most of their worries and well basically have fun.. that's the way a class shld be. together as friends not as acquaintances haha well hopefully the class chalet would be even more fun then this lol

2006-10-31T22:02:00.000+08:00

the ultimanium...

in the end its still the same there was not much point speaking to her. the result is still retention.
it's ok i guess since i was already mentally prepared for this. well life is a harsh reality and we must learn to face it no matter what the result is and make the best use of it.

anyway on a lighter note.
i went to vivo jus now to chill out after all that talking with her. and i basically met 2 ppl i knoe, both in tjc.(i think it became TJ's latest hang out coz the place is filled with them) one is weilin frm 1st 3 months and the other is a guy whom i think is called shawn frm cat high. ( basically he is this guy who knows me and i dun know him. almost evryone in my lvl know me somehow or rather so there will be this guy who come up to u and say hi and u have no idea who he is) so weird... this happened to me so many times esp when i am in j8 or some random place. vivo is not really that great to me. i think it is like MS in terms of design and size. it was like rows and rows of apparel shopsand restaurants with a few other random shops here and there. so if u were a person like me who nv like shopping for clothes, there is basically nothing much for u to do.

well after all that mumbo jumbo i finally feel at ease with myself. if they insist on retaining me, then i'll accept the challenge... lol

well to those ppl who feel sad bout it, thanks for everything. if ya still feel bad bout it, just do me a favor and just act the way it was b4 all the release of results. haha

the dark world

2006-10-30T18:08:00.000+08:00

"the dark world" that was the title that melvin gave me to do for chinese compo.

hmmm basically what i wrote ( in chinese, of course) was...

ur smiles bring warmth and hope to this world, ur every sentence brings joy to the people around u. blah blah ... ( did not manage to continue coz we went for lunch and i lost interest) well it suppose to be something like the world w/o that person will be the dark world...that person will be of course ....

MY MUM

lol i know who u r thinking of but u r wrong.... haha

anyway today we came to sch to do pw. but actually all we did was play bball and for me watch 4 ep of deathnote. there was absolutely nothing substantial done today. well what can u say after all it's a holiday and no one likes pw.

tmr will really be a dark day where i find out what will really happen to me next yr

wish me luck man this is the deciding factor...
by the way chinese a level's in 4 days time and i've not done much. i guess i better start now. cya

2006-10-26T14:15:00.000+08:00

today all i can say is gd bye to my class. i am almost confirmed retained. dun bother trying to console me or anything, just be urselves and treat me as a fren not a classmate... i guess i will just give it all i got for the OP and chinese that's all i can do for now. and though i hate to say this, but here comes orientation 1 all over again zzz. so while u guys worry bout a levels next yr i worry to promote again. just pray i dun get gopal and j poh all over again if not seriously gg.

so as for now gd bye and gd luck to those who just got promoted.

2006-10-23T23:05:00.000+08:00

believe me it aint my voice.

RE : fri 20 oct

2006-10-23T19:49:00.000+08:00

watched death note yesterday.

all i can say is brilliant!
disclaimer : may have some spoiler so dun read this paragraph if u wanna know bout the show

basically is bout this law college student called Light who felt that certain criminals are not getting what they deserve even through laws... so he happen to be walking home one night after confirming for himself that a murderer walked away scot- free though he indeed killed a girl blah blah. anyway Light was walking home, and he found this book on the floor... DEATH-NOTE
The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
the rules of the book :
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the subject's name, it will happen.
If the cause of death is not specified, the subject will simply die of a heart attack.
After writing the cause of death, the details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

imagine if u had the book, what would u do? play God and stand in the name of ur so called justice? how scary would such a world be. let's say i dun like u, so i write ur name in the book and u die.... no evidence no clue when or where u are gonna die or even who killed u. such a world will be shrouded in fear. in fear of the ppl u offend....

man its a good show that is witty and deceptive.

argh so tired... just swam like 50 laps in the pool during trng. imagine swimming 50 laps or about 2.4km. usually i take bout 10min to run 2.4km and now i swim at easily 5 times longer.

i dunno why but i feel utterly drained and exhausted. this is not because of trng. since this morn i have been finding evry opportunity to sleep. b4 assembly. during maths and gp. on every bus ride. haiz i think i am seriously sick of school life and every thing related to it... but then again that was me like 5yrs ago.

oh this is dedicated to brandon and chee siong.
BRANDON LIKES....
elaine
poh xian
liu ying

well u sabo me first so here u go lol

there are 2 types of ppl in the world. one of them is the type who believes in someone up there looking after them. the other group are those that believe in luck and coincidences... however what is there is no such thing as coincidence

2006-10-15T16:01:00.000+08:00

oh nevermind i'll move on to another section.
rinse. repeat.

turned out like a freeverse poem.

2006-10-15T15:21:00.000+08:00

had trng yseterday...
what is the point of having a carrot and stick method during trng? lemme ans that for u, its to make sure evryone puts in the best at trng and to increase the competitive level of the game. so if the coach says 50 push ups to the loser of the competition while the winner dun have to do, naturally the 2 competitors will fight it out. so anyway i won 2 out of 2 rounds and tot i did not have to do any push-ups or punishments... but nooo i was wrong. apparently someone does not think so. " what is team spirit?" hah to him, team spirit is the winners doing the punishments with the losers so there u have it, frm zero push ups and sit ups to 100 each. wonderful, next time when he is around then i dun see the need to put in any effort in such races as if u lose u get to do push ups and if u win u still have to do. so what evr man what's the point of winning. this has nothing to do with team spirit at all. it is suppose to be a price the losers have to pay for their loss and a sort of prize for the rest who dun have to do. it aint about discipline anymore...

anyway psi apparently went up to 98 pts as of 3pm today but i seriously doubt it coz the usual city view that can be seen frm my window is gone and it seems like the view i wld get if the psi is at 150.

haiz it had better increase to such a high lvl that i dun need to go to sch tmr to recieve the results for promos i know i will not pass. i had a dream saying i got 13/30 for maths last nite lol yah i know it suppose to be 100 instead of 30 but it is a sign....

open house

2006-10-13T22:59:00.000+08:00

random pics

run for ur lives...

the ultimate combo... 8km run in about 40min then 90 sit-ups. then pw for 2h to realise that we need to camp at someone's place for the weekend to finish the wr which can nv be perfect, then 20 scoops of ice cream in a day. i think i'm gonna be sick soon man. sick of school and its nonsense and sick of ice cream for the next couple of weeks.

today's open house was a long and crappy day. basically the main crowd of ppl was not chung cheng ppl, neither was it peichai or zhonghua, it was... NYJC J1 students lol. apparently many ppl were smart enough not to come here. the highlights was mainly the carrie and shan wee (the 2 98.7 fm dj ppl came) sia lah and shan wee is seriously tall. i'm only like reaching his nose lol
well anyway they came to buy our ice-cream and brought along the whole gang of fans too. anyway shan wee gave us some poster for this concert thing and after the whole day was over i wanted to burn the darn thing away for some reason or another all till someone decided to snatch it away, crumple and tear it all in the name of recycling. so obviously digrunted i went after the person and just when i was about to grab him, he elbowed me so that made me pissed off. seriously pissed off. so after giving chase for a while more that person realise he can't out run me so he went to a table near some teachers... and soon after he disappeared.

I TELL U HE HAD BETTER PUT THAT DUMB POSTER IN THE RECYCLING BOX OR ELSE ...

i mean i am not pissed off about the poster. it was more of the wth does it have to do if i wanna burn it up. i mean unless if it is in prestine condition and u seriously wanted it then fine but if it is in a lump of !@#$ and evryone wanna burn it dun just snatch the dumb thing away like a kid and claim u wanna recycle it.

ok nvm bout what i just said but hopefully it better not happen again coz i hate ppl who hide behind ppl with authority and do stuff that is utterly nonsensical.

9h till trng tmr; 3 days to hand in wr including the remainder of today; 3 days till we receive our results; weeks more till vertical marathon(73 storeys) ; 1 month till OP; 2 months till standard chartered half marathon. isn't this just great.

haha gd nite and God bless his soul.

2006-10-12T23:18:00.000+08:00

poh boon dancing.

lol

the past 2 days

2006-10-12T23:15:00.000+08:00

Haha many things happen these 2 days. 1stly yesterday we had this dialogue session with our dear uncle kwek about whether students like us shld be allowed to express our views to the press. So basically the 2 legendary speakers in the sch came up to gave their thoughts bout it. Well for those who dunno bout it they are poh boon and Benjamin chia. Benjamin was the one that went to argue rudely with a government official during one of the talks. Basically he went up to the guy and try to talk politics to the guy. And his security tried to get him to stop but he resisted. And well poh boon is… ah forget it watch the video on the prev entry to see who he is or at least how he dance lol.[ By the way this was taken during teacher’s day/ ace’s day]

And well today we had this Indian rangsara thingy. Which is basically colored rice deco on the floor. Well we did a milky way pic. And basically I can say that I did almost nothing. Seriously… yy most of the planning with kaiwen and calina did most of it. However though it looked quite disgusting in the beginning in turned out quite well after that considering we got third. (haha jj u owe me 10 bucks. Who ask u make that dumb bet lol.)

Oh yeah we sold ice cream today man. We had this dumb advertisement during morn assembly then mrs wong apparently went up there and said we did not book a slot when earlier she mentioned that it was our turn to go up on the poldium. grr… then when we finally got up we basically had the word ice-cream spelled out and pasted on our back. So blah blah she blamed us for making a mistake which we did not and instead was her fault. I mean comon grow up man (not that u r not old enough) admit ur mistake and dun push the blame to others…
Anyway putting that aside, we made $280+ from today’s sales. Haha remarkable considering that the ice cream is no longer ice cream but cream alone lol apparently the fridge is spoilt so mp, daphne and mrs lim all went to settle with the dealer…. I think they see that we are kids then they bully us sia. I mean when mp called the guy he refused blatantly to do anything. Only when mrs lim used her smooth talk then the issue was settled. Haha way to go ppl.

Hey tmr is open house so for all those juniors reading this…. One word of advice…DUN COME. Lol till next time ppl remember to tag haha

Oh and a teaser to leave u thinking. Tell me when u find out.
A RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN!
This is going to make you so MAD! There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry?

oh yeah teachers read ur blog...

PW seriously makes ppl go mad

2006-10-09T23:42:00.000+08:00

met borne on the bus while going to anna's house for pw. i stared at him and he stared at me. then after 5s then we recognised each other. well he like evry one else in class is also doing pw all thanks to mel's msg at 08:16:27 am this morn.

loyi who organised the entire pw thing later found out that she had pw today after seeing borne in the lab who told her. rofl. she forgotten she told us to come todae lol.

at 9 plus at nite we finally finished the pw and decided to teach loyi how to play MINESWEEPER haha.

great finally done. wasted like 15min of my time typing this messed up post.

2006-10-07T22:30:00.000+08:00

oh man the ache in my back and shoulders lol. man what is this world getting into. the PSI is like 150 and we are still having trng. if i ask u how many ppl is a 2-man boat suppose to seat, u would prob be saying something like 2 people lah DUH, but our dear coach apparently dun think so. he made us row 8km in that wretched T-2. haha so many strange yet coincidental things happen lately. the guy he rescued the wallet for some old lady was frm my church he was commended by the police during assembly and was in the papers. yah and he was featured in the bulletin.

anyway i realised that i have pass by jj, rk and borne's houses b4 i even know them. borne live near my uncle's house. jj lives near the place i collect my sch award thing. rk lives near my grandpa house. sia lah singapore is so small. this is seriously fate. who knows man maybe i've seen them b4 but just took them as strangers lol.

anyway i saw gaofan at j8 just now looking at jewellry sia.(jj u must have a deep pocket if u want this type of ppl rofl)

oh yeah and i went to church todae. so strange it felt like a calling u know. as in i did not say anything but the sermon was bout the thing that i was thinking of lately.

haha anyway cya for now

God's destiny

2006-10-06T12:14:00.000+08:00

haha today is the 1st month since i have started blogging

anyway i just watch this service sermon on living out God's destiny. and it was then did i seriously went to think of what have i done over the past 17 years of my life. i mean so what if i went into EM1 in p4, scored 255 (+2 points due to HMT) and got 12 points for O levels. did i lead a meaningful life? i mean so what if i had accomplished all these things... in the end when a person lies in their deathbed, will they feel that they have made the past 70-80 yrs of their life worth all that pain and sacrifice?

In life there are many voices speaking to u.

the voice of criticism.
the voice of doubt.
the voice of selfishness.
the voice of limitation.

however there is one that we must all listen to, whether u are a believer or not...
THE VOICE OF FAITH
it is only through such a faith can we open the door to unlimited possibilities. lets not be tied down by insignificant battles over worldly issues but instead be true to ur heart and to the God u believe in. even if one does not believe in God, can u imagine what will happen if u lose faith in urself and the ppl around u? the world will be in a total mess. evry one has a pillar of strength so do u have one?

well enough of all that talk and time to go collect my $200 award, and then later meet up with borne and gang for pool and finally go dinner to celebrate the birthday boys birthday lol...sssshhhh big secret rofl (happy birthday to rk tm lebron and kaiwen ... sry if it is belated or in advance)

WAR

2006-10-05T22:07:00.000+08:00

WAR!!!

the 2 warring factions has started their campaign. Heading one faction is Derick and gang( calina, puiyoke...), the neutral are tengming, renkai and edmund, the opposing side is... well the rest of the ppl in the class
(ps: not totally accurate hor and N.A. to ppl like yy jason and aloy....)

the rift had started a long time ago, as tensions rocket sky high, this situation is worsening as the days go by.

i dun wanna have a repeat of the scenario i suffered in sec 1-2 and well the agressor suffered worse though but that aint the point. the point is "The first casualty of war is innocence".

flashback time...
in sec 1 there was an idiot called shawn chen. he was well this fat and stumpy guy who went around calling ppl nicknames. well he did that to all the ppl in the class esp poor me.. anyway he went to the extent of drawing an entire comic strip about me and my nickname(dun bother asking what he called me) . ya and this soon spread to my classmates and then to my cca ppl then to the whole cohort then to well basically the whole sch even the juniors and their frens later on knew about it....
well anyway my class soon got sick of the teasing game so they decided to ostracise him instead. and there goes his pride and dignity and pretty much every thing. he landed frm the best class to the worst class in the level.

well morale of the story is no matter what u do in such cases, it is a lose-lose situation. so... dun start it or aggravate the situation now for it is nv gd for both parties.

so will there be bloodshed and tears in this class of mine will all depends on what we do now and in the future. let bygones be bygones

2006-10-04T20:34:00.000+08:00

woooooooooppppeeeee

exams over but here comes pw
too bad for u guys who still having exams rofl anyway gd luck and hope u promote next yr lol

mooncakes

2006-10-03T19:51:00.000+08:00

sk we were all talking bout mooncakes yesterday and now i got 6 boxes lying in my fridge....

4 guys 2 girls and a couple of phones

2006-10-02T19:08:00.000+08:00

on one extremely hazy afternoon, after 2 monstrous papers, a group of 17 year olds decided to relax at the nearby shopping mall called juntion 8.

after buying some stuff they decided to have a snack at the food court on the 4th floor. however, before all that happened, the 4 guys there were all hooked to a small little device that acts as a gaming device and a communication tool... the handphone...

so now imagine in ur heads. 4 guys and 2 girls sitting at the food court all playing with their phones like a bunch of 5 yr olds who just found a new game.... fine maybe it was just the 4 guys lol. namely jiajie borne melvin and myself. ps the girls namely meiping and daphne were still sane enough not to join us lol. dun ask why did we do it but i think its just exam stress or the lack of childhood

2006-09-29T19:06:00.000+08:00

if i get ....

A- unbelievable miracle from God
B- luck
C-hard work and skill
Pass- the grace of God

anything lower than that, let's not talk about it, shall we?

well that's only for chem and maths so far.
the rest is all in the hands of fate

oh and praying on the toilet b4 a test doesn't work coz borne tried it. instead it makes things worse rofl

20 pull ups xD

2006-09-27T22:43:00.000+08:00

lol 2 days free from the chains of vulgarity... haha feels gd to once again stop speaking such profanities like nobody's business. i did that last yr and was free frm it for a while till i entered this class. hmmm i wonder why lol

oh yeah God indeed does wonders to ur life man

2006-09-24T21:53:00.000+08:00

i found a secret... nyjc gp notes come from..... wikipedia!!! lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Summit_2002

Exam stress

2006-09-21T22:08:00.000+08:00

exam stress is getting into everyone nerves... ppl consulting gopal, j poh, ms sim, mrs lee all day non stop when they get a chance. oh man zi xuan even decided to drop out of school... what is the world getting into these days. it is just one stupid exam even in cat high no one bothers till maybe the day b4 the exam to consult the teachers. this is not even a levels and we are all so worked up. where is the life man?

jia jie decided to photocopy his hand while borne tried to photocopy his face(though it failed) rofl i mean this is call extreme idiocity under exam stress. no one sleep in i- space anymore they are all busy mugging and tearing the tys apart.

argh and the horrors of pw is coming soon... hope mr lawrence dun take me for op if not i sure die. he can be either an angel or demon so its all up to God to decide...

oh yeah and i broke my pull up record again- 19 pull ups yeh!

2006-09-17T19:14:00.000+08:00

i hate newton... coming up with all the laws of motion and gravitation. argh forces, vectors and chem are killing my brain cells. and i got exactly one week to get it all in b4 D-day. why can't newton be sitting under a durian tree and get his head striked by it. saves us all the trouble. urgh not to mention the guy who invented algebra too lol. why is our school system so rigid? i hate mugging and i utterly detest exams.

WE ALL LOVE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY

2006-09-11T21:07:00.000+08:00

great on the day of sept 11, we were forced to read out we all love organic chem during a wonderful chem lecture... aint that great... love overcome all odds eh as quoted frm gerda huang the lecturer. she is so outta her mind she wasted 1h teaching the intro to organic chem such as the formula shape and all i mean like wth!! we can actually do it in say max half and hr yet she wasted our time by blabbering on and on... for every 1 line of necessary stuff she add on with 5 para of rubbish.

anyway i guess no more excessive mooncake munching this yr eh esp after they say each one have bout 1000 calories!! its like running on the tread mill for 1h at 12km/h. its so not worth thhe 12km if u ask me.

Oh and lastly b4 i end off and continue the endless ageing process (ref to sep 9) i wish to send my deepest condolences to those who died due to the imbecelic act of the terrorists in NY's 911 incident... its fate man it sure is... if u r fated to die, well u die. if not u live to see another day lol (RI kid and steve irwin died so tragically/ironically too)

mugging makes you old

2006-09-09T17:10:00.000+08:00

seriously i mean how many ppl mug and feel happy? the after mugging symptoms are always tiredness, stress, feeling like u have aged at least 30 yrs... some ppl even get things like back ache and all. well the next time u mug see whether u have these symptoms eh and then compare it with ur gramps and u'll know what i mean. haha

HOW CAN PPL MUG LIKE 5H IN A ROW AND STILL GO ON...

well for those who can pls enlighten me lol

ps: borne i can take over the role of master of slacking lol

Daphne's Bdae celeb

2006-09-08T17:42:00.000+08:00

what a day man we went to carl's at ps (after a super long 2h phy tut) to celebrate daphne's bdae. haha in another 2 days time she will finally joined the gang of oldies. after 17 yrs in this world mugging and slogging it out so far well anyway let's celebrate with a .... birthday burger( with fries as the candles) Jeez i tot mine was bad with the pao and all. anyway after that we walked around aimlessly in ps for 2h!! imagine the time we could have spend on mugging lol. well then that's the whole point of shopping issit. i will leave that for u to decide anyway we then got seperated for some reason or another with mp and daph(who got lost somehow and found later by mp) so there was borne, tm, melvin, and i wondering where they disappeared to till borne called and found out they were in the train... zzz

oh well that's basically the gist of the entire day... oh by the way my wonderfully adorable yet irritating 3yr old niece is here so there goes all efforts to mug :)

The secrets to A's in ur promos

2006-09-07T14:35:00.000+08:00

A survey has found that less TV, more fish and crosswords helps improve one’s memory. People who did crosswords were better at remembering shopping list and recalling names, while eating fish once a week improved the ability to remember shopping list. (Well at least so it seems.) So now we all know why muggers with no life tend to do better eh. It is all a matter of that dumb box in the living room that we spend staring at for hours at a time. And crosswords? Then we should all go play sudoku and pray we all pass our promos

Personally I find that such a claim has no effects on me coz well I dun watch tv yet I still forget loads of stuff during my test and exams. Either that or it means Edmund is watching too much tv and that’s why he becomes so no brain :) (sorry dude u shld read the article, its meant for u) And crosswords? Then we should all go play sudoku and pray we all pass our promos
