FIELDS AND CLOUDS OF HOPES

2011-08-01T20:50:00.004+08:00

Think this place has been stagnant long enough alrdy, time for a change of water =) Too many things are happening this year..bad things actually. Results, family, now even my back. Afraid that there might be even more coming up..whatever it is I guess the only option is to trust in Him, though its really getting tougher to do so. Been thinking if me being born is it really a blessed thing..that He has placed me here for a reason..Almost everything that I do, since young till now..is just wasting my parents' money & ppl's time..tuitions, medical fees, education. Nvr seem to excel in anything, even if I felt I did, it wld go back to square one sooner or later. I'm really longing for that fire to burn up in me again..the fire to do well no matter what, just lyk before. Friends have always been around, despite not having any really close ones, I'm really glad to have them around. Anw just sounding out what's on my mind, feeling slightly better now. Shall expect greater things to come.

Wow, it feels weird blogging again. Situation btwn mum & dad still hasn't improved yet despite trying to talk to mum abt this over dinner. Other family members have also began to learn abt this situation & some have tried talking to mum, but all agreed she needs time, as she herself also said so. She thinks my dad recent changes is too fast for her to accept & she can't forgive him just yet since she has been suffering for so long alrdy. Dad is trying to change and wants both of them to reconcile asap so as to move on & to spend the good times together agn. Going out together seems rather 'forced' since mum tries to ignore dad and she wld just cut off what dad is saying. Time may heal the hurt, but it cld also prolong the pain longer, hopefully time wld really do its miracles since I really dunno what else to do..mind's empty too. All the while I've seen situations like this only in drama shows..nvr did I expect it to occur right b4 me.

Sundown Marathon is on Sat, race pack was diappointing since it offered so much lesser than expected. Planing to join 42km in future if I really want to run agn. Its really more worth it. Anw still rather excited for the marathon, despite training much lesser compared to Nike Run's. Shall hope to clock within 2hrs if possible =p

Can't believe she's born in 92 too

Been eating quite alot the past 2 weeks, gosh. Aft lifegrp on Mon, we wld head to eat prata nearby, and it wld be abt 10 plus at night, which is like supper alrdy, hahs. Not been running too, since there's so many things that happen during the night, so can't make time for it. Been spending time with fellow BB seniors recently, really feel confortable with them, like they're my brothers. Went to play pool with them, and even celebrated YC's bday, just me, Sean, YC, Greg (The Bishan guys). Celebrated at YC's hse, b4 heading down to Greg's hse playground to chit chat. Shared so many things, mostly abt relationships, hahas. (P.S : All 3 of them are quite eager to find a partner, their age tells you that too, lol ) Touched some topics abt life, and lastly how to celebrate Sean's upcoming bday. Was my first time sharing abt my relationship side that I've been through, felt so much better aft that. But knw pondering if I shld cntnue or stop neglecting the person, since we got to forgive right? Shall see how. Anw mum & dad's situation are still the same, dad trying to open up alrdy, but I suppose mum finds it abit too abrupt and tries to ignore him. However, their attitude towards bro & I are still the same, so main thing now is abt them. New sem's going to begin real soon. Got to start adjusting back the body clock & start planning to make time to study evryday, to have the spirit of excellence!

Trip to Taiwan has been cancelled, sigh, kind of looking foward to it. It was also becos of it that made me stop finding for a job, since it wld be redundant to work for such a short period. Times are getting bad recently, had a series of clumsy accidents at home, first was toppling over the whole jug of water onto the stove area, then next was toppling over the food container for dinner, nearly half the food onto the floor. To sum up, the worst thing was Dad & Mum's soft quarreling. Why soft? Cause I suppose they do not want my bro & I to hear abt it..and they always discuss far away frm our rooms. But tdy I felt the quarreling worsened since Mum began to shout, and I ovrheard them talking abt the topic on divorcing. Mum had happened to talked this over with me 2 mths back while I went jogging with her. She said that she has been finding it difficult to live on with my Dad, and she has been thinking of leaving him for quite a long time alrdy..saying that he's changed. And tdy, she decided to spill it all out to Dad finally. I think bro hasn't been taking notice of these things yet since he's using earphones on the com these days. Really, really hope things wld not turn out ugly.

Church of St John, Macedonia

Normandy, France (Looks like Disneyland)

Last week was an enjoyable one, finally had another driving lesson aft a 2 week break. This Thurs n Fri wld be the last 2 lessons b4 the pract test. Last Thurs went out with lifegrp to have high tea at Zhou's kitchen, it was dim sum buffet, and it was really quite good. Headed bck to church with them to attend Fuel Prayer meeting, where there wld be praying for recent things and for the church. First time attending, and found it good. Then on Fri went out with the rest together with WH to celebrate Jer's belated bday. Ate at Everything With Fries, the food is not too bad. Sat headed to Ubin for adventure hike with the BB boys. Cycled arnd to head to different checkpoints. Weather wasn't tt good as it kept raining, each time getting heavier as it stopped & came back agn. Rode a 2 seater bike, since quite a number of juniors didn't knw how to ride bikes. First time also experiencing the most bike breakdowns in my life..abt 10 times or more as the chains frm the bikes kept causing probs to our grp. Luckily Chris was in the same team as me and were the 'mechanics' in the grp. Cycling in the rain was refreshing too, thgh troublesome. One funny thing is whenever I go Ubin with BB, it always rains, but when I go with frens, the weather always seems fine, haha.

Sun met up with lifegrp at airport to send Clarence off to Cambodia for his mission trip. This wld be his 2nd one and really glad that he's becoming more & more passionate. Been going out for supper with the BB seniors, Greg & YC, hahs. So far joined them for 2 times alrdy and thgh I'm not a 'supper person', its enjoyable to hang out with them. Trip to Taiwan maybe cancelled due to a lack of ppl joining the tour grp, still waiting for confirmation, but hoping that it wld not as I think it wld be a good time for the family to enjoy together aft the recent weeks of feeling my mum being depressed & my dad getting more unsociable.

2011-03-12T00:46:00.007+08:00

Still amazed how critics cld give it such good reviews & the show itself winning many nominations. Was rather plain to me, but had funny moments, E.g '
A: "My past physicians encouraged me to smoke to relax the throat muscles."
B: "Then they must be dumb"
A: "They were knighted.."
B: "Ah...then they're official"

What B meant is that the physicians, aft being knighted, they are now known to be 'officially dumb', hahs. Well plus point is that I got to knw sme England history. Next movie: Rango!

Been quite a week, spent almost the whole week searching for jobs, been to a few interviews, but currently still back to square one. Can't believe I tried smth out of the norm tdy..saw an advert abt requesting for ppl to take bridal shoots, students welcomed, and I actually went for it. Found out it was lyk a model agency, they do adverts, runways, bridals, etc. Having a 2nd interview nxt wk, so shall find out abit more, lol. Been reading the book, "Sing to the Dawn". Its meant for young teens, but I guess I just wanted to read it aft hearing this title in the past. Quite a descriptive story, it actually got me imagining abt the scenes n picturing them out. Left with a few chaps more! Then time to move on to other books!

Things at home are getting abit shaky. Pa has been getting rather unsociable towards mum's family side, whch caused grandma to question abt his presence, since we used have dinner on Fri with her once every 2 wks, but he stopped joining us since last yr. Mum tried talking to him to find out the reasons, thght they got it settled last wk, but for dinner with grandma tdy, he decided not to come agn. Talking to him wld be tough since pa has nvr really shared anything to us b4 except to mum, and he has a short+bad temper. Aunt told me mum has been sharing her probs to her, and tt she's quite tired of it too, stress frm work, and now stress at home too. As the eldest, I feel the need to help her lighten the burden too, and I knw it shld start frm me, the old habits, etc shld be erased first. But I just can't seem to make them turn to good habits. Simple habits lyk sleeping early..I think this shall be the first habit I shall amend. Promised my young cousin of 9 yrs old, that I wld sleep earlier aft mum exposed that habit of mine to my aunt and she overheard it. Nxt wk shall be the start of that promise. By 12.30am lights out, and probably earlier if possible as it goes along. Hoping to see things make a turn for the better within the family in time.

2011-03-04T23:11:00.005+08:00

Caught this movie with Joash & Bryan last night. Not too bad, but cld have been better. Critics commented the movie, "BOURNE meets INCEPTION"

Not sure what to blog abt..shall just say some random stuffs. Got a feeling I wld not do as well as I expected. Kept having memory blockage during the papers. Think there was too much hesitation to start earlier despite the break in btwn the exams. Currently left with 3 more lessons b4 the driving test, so hopefully I can get to end them fast. Just had a chalet with poly frens this week. The chalet was just below Old Changi Hospital..cld see the familiar stairs which the crew of the movie, "Haunted Changi" used. The entrances were fenced up alrdy thgh. Did some cycling while spending time there..been a very long time since I last cycled..really enjoyed it. Guess I wld begin to read some books during this break..been such a long, long time. Parents plan to go Taiwan in early April for hols..wld be the first time for me, think most of the expenses wld go to the food, hahs.

2011-02-13T23:20:00.004+08:00

Haha, nice

One week to exams, so fast, then aft tt wld be the start of Year 2, even faster. Been eating quite alot lately, think its time to cut down to prepare for the 21km run =p Route map at Changi, near the airport, and starts at 8pm! Which means it wld be abt 10pm if I take 2 hrs to complete. Think the 42km one is funnier, starts at 10pm, so they wld have to run till abt 1-2am, lol. The time when people are sleeping we wld be running . But it wld be cooling to run at night. This year's sponsor is New Balance, which I heard isn't that good, hopefully the shirt wld be as good as the Adidas one they had last year. Saw the night sky just now while jogging, and remembered that I had always wanted to star-gaze. Think I shall research & learn abit about the different star patterns first then maybe one fine day go look at them & see if I could spot any ;)

It's Valentines tmr, 18 years as a single and counting =) A part of me smehow longs for a companion, to have someone to talk to and feel less lonely, to know there is someone there for you. But then again, I myself alrdy have a lack of time to spend on myself(studies,etc), whatsmore having to also split the time and spend it with another person. Going to church this year also got me thinking that I shld invest that time on Him, and that having a companion now doesn't really seem ideal too since there's so many other things to go through and to be done. Yes, the temptation and the long to have someone is always around, but the main thing is to wait for the right moment I guess. Keep looking around and don't be to rushed, I guess this shall be my slogan, hahs. For now, friends & family are the best substitute for companions =)

2011-02-05T01:17:00.008+08:00

Pine Marten

Otters

Groundhogs

(Somehow all these 3 animals look alike to me, haha. ALL SO CUTE!)

Caught the movie "The Great Great World, 大世界" this week. It was a really great show, lots of local actors, based on the history of S'pore, and lastly, a movie filled with the different dialects throughout. Funny why I still thought the show wld not be nice, but thankfully dad insisted on it =) Can't wait for the director to film his next show, where I heard he might be planning to film abt the radio broadcasting history, and perhaps on places that are similar to the Great World, such as New World.

Somehow I just love the olden days, simple, easy-going life, not much distractions..maybe tt kind of environment spurred ppl to study harder, hahas. Many things they had during that time are mostly gone now, and some are still present but modified. Went River Hongbao for the first time tdy too, cny goodies being sold there, not that appealing to me. Went bck to Marina Barriage and there was a new hawker centre at the foot of the place. Interesting thing abt the hawker centre is that they decorated it to look quite lyk the olden days, the yummy traditional S'porean food they offer, the old drinks sold in glass bottles served with tin mugs instead of plastic cups. And lastly, they have an area that sells olden days stuff, pics in black n white, old clocks, cameras, telephones( those like walkie talkies..priced at $180), and other antiques dating back during the past of S'pore.

Somehow surprised how coincendental it is for me to learn abit more abt S'pore history through the movie and this little place within a few days. Guess I'm kind of into history, love the facts behind things, haha. Anw tdy was a shocking news for me. One of my relatives actually explained the proper pronounciation of my surname. All along I thought it was pronounced as "Jin", but they said it was "Yin". No wonder my report book had all along written my han yu pin ying name as 'Yin Ming Jun Glenden', and I only found it out aft 18yrs, lol. But it sounds rather weird to be called "Yin Ming Jun"..shall see how it goes, whether to stick with the old or the current pronounciation. For the first time also, I just found out that my mother's fav colour is purple, lol. Aft 18yrs too..

2011-01-26T00:48:00.007+08:00

England

Marina Barriage with my past nokia phone

Can't believe this wld only be my 200th post aft so long, lol. Okay, maybe its believable since I don't blog much, hahs. Been sick the past week, flu, sorethroat, cough. Thankfully they're gone now. Exams soon, 21st Feb first paper & 1st March the last. Can't really move on to study since projects are rushing to be completed. Well, plan to work during the hols, shld be trying out admin since I've nvr tried it b4, thgh many say its v boring. Shall look for one b4 the exams, so it wld be just nice when I end the exams and able to get ready to work. Anw bro chose NP, sustainable urban design course..tmr's the posting results, my guess is that he wld be accepted into his 1st choice directly since the cut-off difference btwn his points and the course is quite wide. Do hope he wld not regret it and smehow, I actually feel excited for him, even more excited than mine in the past.

2011-01-09T01:10:00.007+08:00

Tree Camping, looks interesting!

Saint Helens

First week of sch already caught me in quite a breathless situation..the new topics are slightly harder, and things are just going rather fast. Had gyming session with classmates on Thurs..didnt join them with lifting of weights..did more running..perhaps nxt time. Fri met up with Bryan, Joash & YC to watch the movie, "The Tourist". I didnt want to watch the show at first due to 2 reasons: 1) Critics gave it 2 stars. 2) A.Jolie was acting in it, was influenced by my mum abt her looks(Big Lips), so had a bad impression of her. But sme frens commented tt it was pretty good, together with Bryan's pestering to watch it and also, it was in the top spot for "Most-watched" in S'pore. So the choice was to watch it. In the end it was rather okay, I wld give it 2.5 stars, scenery of Venice was nice, but the plot wasn't as good, cld have been better. Weird thing is that I don't really have a bad impression of Jolie now aft watching..found that she exudes a certain elegance in her during the show, even in real life, her dressing is always quite good if I rmb correctly.

Got to start the engine and start moving off for the remaining few wks, to work really hard now and in abt 2 mths there wld be a pit-stop for a good rest. Self-motivation: KEEP GOING!

2010-12-31T13:39:00.007+08:00

The ending & beginning of a new year was always nothing really special to me, perhaps maybe spending it a few years in a grand hotel with 2 other families, and just hugging/shaking hands to wish one another. But mum came across a newspaper article past few days ago, and it kind of got me thinking abt celebrating the new year. The title of it was, "Have we grown a year older or have we grown up by a year ?"

The author told a story of an 87-year-old woman, Rose, who was determined to pursue a university education. She enrolled into a Uni & due to her bubbly personality + pleasant behaviour, she soon became the campus icon, making friends easily. She was invited for a speech and she said: "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing." There are 4 secrets to staying young, being happy & acheiving success. "You have to laugh & find humour everyday. You must also have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die." Anybody can grow older, it doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. "Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have any regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets."

Rose died 1 week after her graduation and many students paid tribute to the wonderful woman who taught them by example that it is never too late to be all you can possibly be. Rose challenged the people around her to live out the lyrics of The Rose, by Bette Midler. The second verse of the song goes:

" It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of of waking tha tnever takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken, who cannot seems to give.
And the soul afraid of dyin' that never learns to live."

The author said it reminds him to always take the bull by its horns, and live life with passion - passion fuelled by a determination to find opportunity in change. At the end of the article, he wrote, "May next year signal the start of a new journey for you & me, a journey during which we "grow up" more than we "grow old."

Think this is by far the most sensible post I've ever typed, hope to learn from it!

2010-12-29T22:59:00.007+08:00

Aurora in Hammerfest, Norway

It wld be good to have one of this now, Yum!

Last week was church camp, it was not bad, the games were not as good as I thght it wld turn out to be..they cut it short & gave us too much break time. Others, such as food and service sessions were great.Learnt quite alot, really hope to put things into action aft hearing the things said. Began to jump in btwn songs, aft much urging frm JY & Clarence..it was not too bad either, perhaps just alittle more getting used to. Looking foward to the next camp alrdy!

Celebrated Christmas on the eve at relative's place. Lots of good food were present as usual, especially turkey(yumyum)! Even received a present frm an aunt..its been quite sometime since I got one frm her. Christmas Bash was awesome on Christmas day, the skit was portrayed really well, so was the concept for the carnival, Toy Emporium. Those mending their stalls were dressed almost lyk a toy, there were games & light food, rather interesting. Glad tt the frens we invited, Sheryl Siow & Sng + Dorothy, cld make it for the event, thgh the Sheryls didn't received Christ, I think there wld be more for them to come, and hopefully they wld come to one day. Went for some scones + slacking, aft which headed bck to church to incubate frens which some of the lifegrp invited. Headed to take a look at the Power Kids Church(PKC), to see Clement & a few other LG ppl performing a skit. It was hilarious & surprisingly the kids there, who looked so young, all understood wat was shown before them. All of them singing & believing in Christ at such tender ages, really inspiring.

Pass my FTT test tdy, 46/50. It was rather easy, more common-sensed based compared to BTT. Now left with prac lessons n prac test, aft which I wld be certified to drive! Hopefully MC wld get over his failure for BTT and keep trying agn. Kind of sad tt family and the other 2 families won't be celebrating New year at a hotel this year, seems lyk a break aft a tradition for the past few years. Brighter side is tt I wld get to celebrate it with frens at Cling's hse over steamboat. Time to buck up for nw, the remaining days of the short break.

2010-12-19T13:05:00.003+08:00

Saint Mark's square, Venice

Was hoping to do well for term tests but guess this hope wld be far away agn. Driving has been rather fun, always looking foward to it. Dad even let me try out driving along the carpark area, and auto is so much easier than manual. Quite alot of things happened along the week but can;t seem to rmb them alrdy, but anw classmates in poly decided to have a Christmas presents exchange. The plan was to buy an unisex gift with budget btwn $5-$10 and on our last day of paper, we wld exchange by drawing lots. It was a first time for me and evryone was preetty excited too. Got a notebook thgh, simple, but its the thought that counts =)

Nxt week wld be church camp, feeling abit excited for it since we're divided into different colour tribes, but the best part is that it is held at Raffles Junior College! Its like an opportunity of a lifetime to ever have a chance to step ino a place like this, it also feels quite cool to be able to explore, play & sleepover, in the school of brains, hahas. It's been quite some time since I last went for a camp too, so the feeling is quite mixed up. The hols are here alrdy, but since the camp takes up the 1st week, there only a week more left, so I guess that leaves little time to really relax alrdy, so its time to make full use of what I have nw.

Thurs & Fri was a hectic 2 days for me. Mengchao last-min asked me to be his replacement for the Generation NYP event, which was like Mr/Miss Campus event organised by the Student Union & Ambassaodorial team, on Thurs right aft my last paper. Had to attend a briefing hence decided to kill time by joining sme of my classmates at gym, which was my first time going there. Wasn't properly attired, but tried out some exercise stations, and it was pretty good. Might consider joining them for their weekly gym sessions, see how it goes, lol. But anw bck to the the Gen NYP thing, the briefing was rather long-winded, frm 6.30-11pm..and I volunteered to be a doorman..collecting tickets n stamping chops on the hands. The event was on the next day, at Scape, and I was told it wld last frm 2pm-2am. That really nailed me hard since I didnt knw anyone there, and let alone I wasn't in either CCAs. Got to knw some ppl in my grp along the way thgh, and the event went rather well. Left earlier then expected & caught the last train since I didn't want to really stay bck n do clearing up while still having to cab home at 2am. Funny thing is tt nw I have a better view of SU & A-team..and I currently have them both in mind, together with adventure club as my potential CCAs nxt yr. Shall look more into them once the time comes.

2010-12-03T23:12:00.005+08:00

Carcans Beach, France

This week just zipped past so fast. Lagging behind on what's being taught..nid to catch up during this weekend. 1 more wk to term tests, really hope I can do well here, to mark as a step out of the disappointments I had last sem. Deciding that I'm quitting Lifesaving for good. Planning to join Adventure club nxt yr, lol. This Sat wld be BB 27th Coy anniversary..they wld be having a bbq, missed 2 wks of church alrdy. Sunday, family planning to watch Rapunzel, the critics gave it good comments, can't wait. Aunt decided to pass us her dog, Mocca, a Shi Tzu dog, cos her maid wld be going bck to her hometown. Took the dog bck tdy, and alrdy planned to groom her tmr cos she's quite unkept, hahs. Must try to get used to having a dog in the house now..evening walks n constant removal of it's waste.

Had steamboat dinner with the BB guys, Samuel, Roy, Bryan, Kok Chin & Joash last night at Maupo Toufu, in Thomson. It has been a long time since I saw KC, Samuel n Roy, thanks to Bryan, he organised this gathering to mark the end of their A-lvls. Ate to our max..surprisingly, Bryan was the last man still eating instead of Samuel, hahs. The bill turned out to be approx $28 per person, far cry frm wat Bryan had thght it wld be, $18. These guys wld be going into the Army nxt yr alrdy..hope to get more chances for meet-ups agn in time to come.

2010-11-28T18:51:00.002+08:00

Caught HP with the BB seniors on Sat. Quite average only. Part 2 wld be the better one I suppose. Ealier in the aftnn, dad brought us to go see the toy museum cos theres some discount on admission fee too. There wasn't anything much, 5 lvls but small area. Toys dating back to the 1960s, most were made of tin or sme metal, surprisingly still in good condition. Some toys even cost btwn 4k or 15k cos they are known to be the only one left in the world. Caught another movie tdy, "The next 3 days". It wasn't as good too..the advertisement made it seem like a good show, but only the last 45mins out of the 2hrs was nice. Been relaxing abit too much recently, better put in more effort. Mum wld be back tmr evening, the house won't be that quiet like it was the past week =)

2010-11-25T23:43:00.002+08:00

Gateshead Bridge, Newcastle, England

Been quite some time since I felt so exhausted aft Tues's life-saving training. Think I broke my record for the duration spent swimming. Felt quite good aft exercising tt much, but the aftermath has been quite aching, especially on both arms. Think I wld stop going for the CCA alrdy, its really competitive, the training days are just too many. I better come to a conclusion soon and make a decision before its too late.

Mum went for hols with grandma & aunt frm Mon till nxt Mon. Feels quite weird when she's not around..its uncommon to see either parents going on a hol, since we usually go together as a family. Been making my own breakfast for the past few days, and I got the responsibility to "clear the loaf of bread b4 it expires" since both bro & dad wld not be eating it at all. Good or bad, I actually increased frm 2 slices to 3 slices of bread..just so that the remaining bread wld not be wasted as it approaches nearer to its expiry. Lost weight agn..measured weight when I went for blood donation, but was rejected cos just recovered frm a flu not long ago. Guess what my mum says is right..losing weight is fine, but if I'm not growing taller then it just makes me smaller sized.

2010-11-20T23:07:00.003+08:00

Joined Lifesaving CCA orientation on Tues with a classmate. Had ice-breaker games in the pool, followed by introduction to some lifesaving events. Its quite tough, still considering abt this CCA, since I was considering trying out for badminton agn nxt yr, or maybe joining Adventure club. Caught the movie "RED" with family on Wed. It was a pretty good show, but for now, looking foward to Harry Potter with the BB seniors nxt Sat. Sundown Marathon is open for registration alrdy, Jer says see if he can tahan the Standard Chartered Run 1st, if can then maybe consider registering for Sundown, lol. This year's Sundown has another category: 100km. Sounds almost impossible to run tt much, so demoralising too. The pics are from a blog of someone I so happen to blog-hopped to. She's pretty..good at capturing nice pics, hahs.

2010-11-14T15:30:00.004+08:00

Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand

Caught the movie "Megamind" with Jer & MC on Wed b4 meeting the rest to for JY's belated bday celebration. The rest of the week was busy & having trouble catching up with the things that were taught in school. Arnd end of Dec, church is having a camp, and Jer & I were having difficulties as we were pondering how to go abt asking our parents to sign the registration form. I went to ask JY how he did it in the past and his answer was "Just tell". So I decided to give it a try too, and told my mother abt it and that I've been going to church. She just asked why I wanted to go, and I told her I find the sermons useful since I cld apply it in my life and she said that if I think it helps me, then I shld carry on. She even subsidised $50 out of the $75 camp fee. My father is still kept in the dark abt this, hopefully he won't blow up when he hears abt it next time. Jer was also facing the same thing, but he went ahead to ask too, and his father signed it but his mother was quite angry. Hopefully things wld go well for him too.

Signed up for lifesaving CCA during one of the days last week with a friend. The ppl there kept pestering us to join..and that friend of mine promised them if he joined I wld join too, so both of us signed up for it. There wld be an orientation this week, and we wld nid to be in swimming trunks =p Its like I myself alrdy can't swim well, let alone saving smeone..moreover quite embarassing to flaunt my body too, lol. There wld be introduction to the CCA so shall see wat it is abt.

Been quite sick for the week. First was sorethroat, which I believed was due to the amount of Toberlone chocs I had and not drinking water aft eating them. By Wed, the sorethroat was almost gone, then coughing became to pop out. Phelgm became present aft sometime, and then now currently having flu. Three illnesses together at once. On a higher note, I passed my retake for BTT, just passed with 45/50. MC & Nick were unlucky thgh. MC forgotten to brg his i/c and cldn't take the test, while Nick failed by 1 mark. Shall find out abt their results on 27 Dec.

Played 5 hrs of badminton ystdy, frm 2-7pm, with MC and his frens. All of them were good, and so were their stamina. Kept coughing while playing, and the right arm was abit aching. Soon aft my hips became unusually pain too. The thought of permanently quitting badminton actually came across my mind at that moment. Felt so tired..guess it was a moment of rashfulness to have such thoughts. Doubt I wld ever want to have thoughts like that ever agn, it wld be like taking awy smth I'm quite good at. Aiming to work once the hols are bck agn, been spending alot, majority due to bday presents, but also due to my mother's constant reminder.

2010-10-28T00:49:00.002+08:00

Managed to find out the Nike Run timing results and I got 49.02. It is quite a good effort, really surprised tt I had actually ran tt fast, let alone, having the will to keep going on. Found out tt the Kenyan guy who got 1st place had a timing of 30.44, while the 2nd place was 33min plus, and the fastest women timing was 36min plus. Seeing all these few timings just makes me more motivated, hence I'm targeting a 40min timing nxt year. Perhaps even lesser, as the years go by, or maybe even increase the distance to 21km, hahs, see abt that.

Celebrated Doro's, WH's & Sheryl Sng's bday on Tues night at Pasta Mania. Met up with Nick n MC to get WH's present n brainstorming the forfeits which wld lead to him getting his present. Glad all 3 were happy with their presents, hope their wishes come true, at this turning point age. Caught "Paranormal Activity 2" on Wed night with Bryan & Joash. The show was slightly scarier than part 1, but ending was poor. Overall, its quite a blunder. It was nice seeing both of them agn, both mugging v hard for their upcoming 'A's in a matter of days. Doubt I wld be able to see them often in the next few coming years aft 'A's since they're heading to NS alrdy. Really wish them the best of luck, and the perseverance to pull thrgh this huge obstacle! Got to catch up on my dramas & SLEEP, but studying wld have to be the priority.

2010-10-25T00:01:00.002+08:00

Nike Run was awesome, a nice experience. The Marina area was being covered by shirts of green. Didn't stop at all throughout the run despite feeling thristy at the 6km mark..but the water points were crowded each time I passed one, and I didnt want to lose my momentum, thus I just carried on. Overtook lots n lots of ppl, but more just kept popping up ahead of me, it was never-ending. My original plan was to pass the 5km mark n start slowing down, but I think thanks to the milo in the morning, there was sufficient energy to carry me through furthur on. Managed to cross the line at a time of 48mins plus, and 1hr 06mins. Not sure which one is my actual one, but the rest were saying the left one is correct. Shall wait for the results to be sent over if there is. Went to East Coast park aft eating, with a few others as they wanted to cycle..which sounded crazy since we just ran 10km. I rollerbladed in the end to 'save' my thighs frm the ache. It was nice to rollerblade again aft so long. Really exhausted aft a full week of waking up early, esp the past 2 days. Got to start catching up on my sleep rather than computer time alrdy..back to self-discipline again.

2010-10-23T21:47:00.003+08:00

First week of sch has started, hectic n alot getting used to, but it was still rather okay. Got to purchase quite a number of costly textbks, ranging $30 n abv. Went to help out for Project Angel 2 tdy, helped out in painting of houses at Macpherson area. It went well, since the house we went had only a few furnitures, thus we got the job done quite quickly. Think I'm beginning to enjoy painting alrdy, hahs. Received a free shirt, both lunch n dinner were provided free too, and we were even presented a certificate each. It was a enjoyable experience, can't wait to help out agn nxt yr. Tmr is the big day, Nike run. Excited for it, really hope it goes well! Tiring week it has been..even both wkends I got to wake at such early timings. But on the otherhand it was quite nice to see the roads quiet n empty, the fresh air. Was surprised to see so many ppl up early on a Sat morn doing their routines..maybe waking up early isn't bad aftall, but it wld depend on how much sleep you get the day b4, haha.

2010-10-13T23:36:00.003+08:00

Big news! Jessica Liu wld be returning to showbiz again, haha. But she signed on with another company instead of Mediacorp, thgh her show wld still be shown on local television, chnl U arnd Dec. Can't wait, lol. Went to jog abt 5km ystdy aft so long. Was quite out of breath aft that..goes to show I am still lacking in my bid to complete the 10km on 24th. Shall just train a few more times nxt week n the week aft and followed by a few days rest b4 the actual one. Hopefully I wld not be so exhausted at the 5km mark, and able to go on furthur, aft this few trainings.

As thgh the cramps aft ystdy's run were not enough, I still headed down to Ubin to recee with the BB guys. Thought we wld be going thrgh the same old boring routes that I've went numerous times alrdy. Instead, we stumbled into places along the routes that I nvr knew were there b4. Went trgh new paths, and even managed to find out a beginner bike trail, those tini humps that bikers can do stunts with. Went to try it out myself & it was FUN! I even saw a green tree snake slithering across the road..almost went ovr it had I not been looking on the ground at that point. Its so far the second snake I've seen up close other than those in zoos, both snakes I saw were both in Ubin itself. Had lunch at the restaurant there, nice food, and chatted personal & future-related stuffs. It was really a nice experience tdy, totally enjoyed evry moment =)

There's badminton tmr with the lifegrp as well. 3 straight days of sports, during my last week of hols, good or bad, I myself still dont have an answer for it, lol. Well whatever it is I shall not regret abt it, just got to look foward n make amendments along the way.

2010-10-12T00:38:00.003+08:00

Can't believe a guy I met aft swimming tdy asked me whether I was interested to get a part-time job as a model for tops & underwears, $50 for abt 5 pics, abt 1hr for the shoots. Lol. Wonder if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but turned him down anw. He kept emphasising there wld not be any nudity involved, but then agn, I wasn't really interested. But it was quite a surprise, first time being apporached like this, its rather interesting, hahs. Its a week more till sch reopens, timetable is quite bad, and somehow I feel the urge to really put in effort for this new term. Shall see about that.
Mum was angry with me over : "Not using my sms to its limit". Lol. She complained tt I only hit 500 over msgs only, cos she's paying the plan which allows 1000 msgs. Well she sounds quite serious abt wanting me to really hit the target, since she's paying quite alot each month. Its a few more mths b4 she can change the plan, so guess its either she wld have to wait patiently till then or me increasing my usage. But can't help it with my usage being like that anw.

2010-10-08T17:12:00.003+08:00

Caught "The Other Guys" with the usuals last night. The show wasn't up to what I had expected, was a rather silly show, first time in a movie where I kept moving about in my seat cos the movie wasn't interesting. At least there are other shows tt I am anticipating to be better. The Nike Run shirt collection is next week, and the week aft, it wld be the run itself alrdy. Been so lazy till now, yet to even train up to 5km, let alone 10km. I feel I need some excitement in my life but dunno what is it

2010-10-03T23:13:00.006+08:00

Been playing badminton for 2 times during this week with lifegrp ppl. Heard they plan to have a 'once a week' badminton session, just hope the courts wld be nearer to central, hahs. Caught the movie Detective Dee with family. Critics weren't so much of praises for it, which kind of influenced me too, but in the end I found it rather okay, slightly better than what I had expected. Next on my list wld be "The Other Guys" & "Dinner with Schmucks". The trailers are really funny.

Was going home ystdy with family when we heard the news abt Mrs LKY on the radio in the car, and we were all shocked. I thght she was in a stabilised condition as the news had a report a couple weeks ago tt she was unconsious n lying on the bed, but was normal. Quite a number of important figures have passed on this year, Goh Keng Swee, Mr Balaji, n now Mdm Kwa Geok Choo. Its pleasant to know more abt her trgh the reports on her contributions and the qualities you rarely find among ppl these days.

2010-09-28T21:02:00.006+08:00

Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand

Listening to Class 95 past 12am last night was nice n brought back memories when I was young, sitting in the car, one moment looking at cars outside the window tt drove past & the next moment listening to the songs till I fell asleep. Played badminton with the lifegrp ppl ystdy. Was much fun, paired up with Meng n managed to win all our matches. There wld be another one with them on Fri, can't wait.

2010-09-26T21:38:00.003+08:00

Tried out for a waiter job with MC & Vic at Meritus Mandarin on Thurs. Me joining them was to replace another person for tt day. Got to put on a quite good-looking top, then it was briefing followed by instructions. The event was a staff celebration staff of the hotel itself. Heard it was a buffet style, hence it wldnt be as hard as the normal dining which requires us to both serve n clear. All we had to do was clear the plates n refill the drinks. Surprisingly, Kumar the comedian came for a part of the programme. He told some really funny jokes, at least it didnt made the job tt boring. Arm n legs were aching by the time I got home..as thgh I had carried weights n ran some marathon. Guess I wasn't used to the long standing hours n I didnt expect the weight of plates + utensils wld be so heavy. Well I considered a really long time abt going back the nxt day, until Sun, but decided not too. So far MC has been complaining ever since, lol.

Caught the movie, "Legend Of The Fist, Chen Zhen" ystdy. It was not bad, felt it was almst lyk another Ipman movie, just tt it was even more gruesome n he fought even more than the 10 ppl he asked for in Ipman. Donnie Yen is really fit n awesome, hahs.

2010-09-22T21:55:00.001+08:00

Went swimming alone tdy, swam the first 2 laps and I was alrdy panting. Didnt want to waste the money for the entrance fee so pushed on to complete another abt 10 more laps with consistent resting in btwn. Kind of tired but it was quite good to actually swim aft such a long time. Still got quite alot to train on especially when its going to be a month more to the Nike Run, argh. Theres quite a few movies that seems interesting recently, "The Other Guys" is one of them, looks hilarious. Alright shall leave some pictures of an actress frm Nickelodeon, Victoria Justice. She's born in 1993 and is a half Puerto Rican and Irish, brown hair and eyes =)

2010-09-18T00:08:00.004+08:00

Perast, Montenegro

FAILED MY BTT ! Argh. Rather disappointed, complacency agn..short of 2 marks. Can't believe tt I cldn't pass the simplest test for driving, watsmore theres tougher ones ahead. Anw been trying to train for the Nike run..its been exhausting despite only training for 2 days. Kind of regretted participating in it, but no choice now. Calculated that I wld have to run 25 rounds arnd the stadium to complete 10km (hearing it alrdy feels so demoralising). Shall try agn next week, start frm 8 rounds then slowly increase up. Got to also start chionging the dramas tt have been lining up so 'patiently' soon too.

2010-09-11T23:49:00.007+08:00

Portland, Dorset-England

Seems lyk I wld try to heed Julia's advice and try to post frequently. TRY TO, lol. Wld be participating in the Nike Run on 24th Oct with the Coke YOG grp. The distance wld be 10km and we are joining in the group category. Its going to be real tough for me since the longest distance I've ever ran wld just be only 5km..which was during the NYP Campus Road Run. Got to begin training real soon, starting frm Mon. Speaking abt Mon, Mengchao wld be heading for his OBS camp till Thurs. Excited for him, aft hearing wat are some of the programmes installed for him, together with Clarice's experience. Hopefully I wld be able to get a chance to go OBS in future.

2010-09-08T17:29:00.007+08:00

Hectic week with exams, spent the last week b4 the papers in NYP studying in the lib with the rest. It was not too bad, just slightly distracted with joining the rest on the look out for "catch of the day", hahs. Made a promise to Mengchao during this period that I wldn't use the com till he end of my papers, on Mon. Forfeit wld be doing 20 push-ups at the Atrium, shouting out loud each number. I cld have easily broke this, but decided to take it as a challenge and my first-step to stop my com-addiction. Managed to pull it off, thgh I used it to browse trgh sme exam papers and a little peek onto FB, haha. Wld be considering doing these in the future, it kind of helps =)

Went to donate blood yesterday @ Bishan Lib. Saw a notice abt it when I was studying there past few weeks ago, and I've always wanted to experience donating blood, thus decided to go donate. The blood drive is held on every first Tuesdays of every month. Was surprised it wasn't pain, just a slight pinch and aft 10 mins, the bag was filled up. The nurse told me the next time I cld donate agn wld be in Nov, 12weeks, but shall consider agn. My mum doesn't like me doing this, hahs.

Been going back to help out with drill teaching for the BB boys for the past 2 weeks. Improvements were marginal, but what bothers me is the attitude, the far cry of that quality from our batch or our seniors. Standing for abt 30mins under the sun wasn't a prob for us in the past, but with the current batch, its as thgh they had been doing it for an hour. Could it be with the way how parents are guiding their child in present times ? For me, looking from the UG point of view, I think seniors and officers play a part in these too..the grp of officers that were with us trgh thick & thin, the ones who kept pushing us to our limits. Just wished they cld be here once more, but now that the torch has been passed, its just up to the few of us to carry on the journey. Do hope what the captain has in stalled wld bring abt a change in the coy. Presently, since we are close to vying for "Best Coy" award this year, hopefully this wld kick-start and ignite that flame within each of them.

This hols wld be a simple one for me, well I guess it has always been almost the same for the other hols, lol, but for this, I'm going to spent it watching shows lyk nvr b4, at the same time, exercise lyk nvr b4, and also, study lyk nvr b4. Really, really hope I can pull all these off at least..then it wld assure me that I do have some self-management in me..which feels lyk none currently/most of my life actually.

Shall end with 2 quotings, the first one is by Clarice =), the other one is frm some blogger that I blog-hopped to, lol.

"I know it is hard to accept the truth, but its only when we hear the truth then we would truly wake up cause sometimes we are just so satisfied with where we are that we did not realise how much mistake and how many lies we have been covering up till someone comes and wake you up"

"For nothing is impossible.
We live on our dreams.
Remember success is made of up 99% hardwork,
& perhaps 1% talent."

Been quite a week, celebrated NDP at Marina Sands, IR for a night. It was quite okay, rooms were quite normal, but the view frm the top at the Sky park, 57th storey, was spectacular. Headed to the club lounge downstairs to have a drink with Nik, so as to celebrate us being 18th n to chi chat abit. Tried Apple Vodka which was mixed with sme other stuff, and it tasted quite bad..lyk cough syrup =p Well, each glass was abt $18, so what to do but to finish it. I must admit I'm really not into drinking, so ex and I don't appreciate it. Buffet breakfast the next day topped the scale too, $36 per person, but the spread they had there was rather good.

Later on during this week was YOG Journey of the flame with Coca Cola motivators. Had to go for 3 out of the 6 days, 7am-8pm, but it was a nice & enjoyable experience. Never expected myself to be such a 'high' person, to do endless cheering together with smiles and wavings to the crowd. No regrets aft going through it, made some new frens too, most of them in their 2nd or final years. Hope the ties lasts, since they alrdy celebrated 2 birthdays for the ppl in the grp, which shows the bond. Church lifegrp ppl got me a Mp3 player as a birthday present. Really surprised as I nvr expected them to get one for me, since I've only known them for such a shortwhile, moreover I nvr thght I wld own a Mp3 in my life. Both grateful & thankful to them!

Celebrated Clarence's bday tdy, or more of ystdy instead. Was great to see Wanhao agn aft so long. Can't believe he is wearing size XS for his shirts, lol. He was even tempted to buy a female Man United Jersey, since it was at an ideal size for him. The shopkeeper even hinted to him tt it was for females, hahs. Ate at Shokudo, which was slightly costly, but at least it filled me up entirely. Headed down to Marina Square to play pool and some arcade, b4 taking some pics and headed home. Quite a number of ppl who havnt seen me for some time have said my looks have changed..and it all pointed down to one thing.."Your face looks sharper now". Don't knw whether its a good thing anot, but still appreciate their feedback, at least they remember my face, lol. Joined another charity housepainting work with the Community Service Club frm NYP. Some of the ppl frm the Coca Cola Motivators grp are in this club too, which I had actually registered to join, but didnt go for orientation. Anw they got me to joined, so now I'm quite looking foward to it. Right shall end it here for now.

2010-08-04T16:21:00.009+08:00

The other b'day boy 2 days earlier than mine

Thanks EG 1007 =)

Lots of stuff happened since the last post, presentation and projects, but so glad they are all done now. Would like to thank each and everyone for the wishes on my 18th birthday, both family and friends. Surprisingly, there were quite a few celebrations, but there was only one cake that was eaten, and it was from my classmates in Poly. Like what many others have said b4, I agree with them, the feeling of 18 isn't in me yet, but I feel that I need to live up to it in time to come, to be more responsible.

Quitted flashmob recently and went on to being a Coca Cola motivator. The dance steps for flashmob were getting tougher as the trainings went by, and I can't really catch up with the new dance moves. It was still a nice experience thgh. On the other hand, going for just 2 trainings as a motivator was much fun. We did cheering, played team-bonding games. It helped us to glue together in our different grps despite knowing each other for only sometime. I used to hate all these back in the past, but now, it seems quite fun, although my main motive to join the motivators was being able to get 2 shirts and goodie bag worth $150, hahas. Would be cheering on the 8th,11th,13th Aug. Heard we might get a chance to be on tv, lol.

Went to book for my Basic Theory Test on Sun with MengChao. Its so fast that I wld be learning to drive soon, still quite shock how life has past and I'm here now. The date for the test itself is somewhere in mid Sept, which is quite fast, only left with a month to revise trgh a whole new book. Only able to make 5 mistakes out of 50 MCQ ques, gosh. Heard my dad's fren needed to retake it 5 times b4 finally passing it with just 1 mistake, lol. Plan to go for frisbee next wk aft such a long break frm it. Recently since Mon, been having flu, sorethroat, cough. Started with flu, followed by the next 2. Thankfully now the sorethroat is gone, at least I'm able to eat more choices of food for now =) The cough is so bad tt my stomach is having alittle cramp frm all the coughing. Hols are up next and its time for studying!

2010-07-25T22:46:00.002+08:00

It has been an exhausting week with projects but Im glad we pulled it through. There's still mor eupcoming things this week thgh. The week has been good, collected Campus Road Run tee, and found out tt it was an extra shirt for other events but was painted over and reused instead. Oh well, its free anyway. Fri was nice, as classmates celebrated both mine and another classmate's bday. The eldest classmate in our class, bought the 2 of us smth, and the rest of them contributed with cake. Really appreciated them alot, so thankful =) In the same night, family headed down to Resort World Sentosa with grandma and aunt for dinner at one of the restaurants. Grandma had just came back from her Europe trip frm France, Italy and Germany. How cool is that! She bought us some clothes. Aunt headed back home, while grandma decided to go to the casino b4 heading home. Our family headed to the hotel room which grandma had booked for us by redeeming her points she had received thrgh her casino entrances to Genting most of the time. The points she redeemed helped us paid 3/4 of the dinner and a free stay at the hotel for one night.

The next morning was house painitng for BB cares. It was fun, thgh abit regretful not being able to stay thrghout. I found tt I painted with more experience now since its my 2nd try at painting, but even more surprised at how good the juniors were, at painting too despite it being their 1st time. Invited both Doro and Julia too, and it seemed they enjoyed themselves too, hahs. Sunday night family went out for dinner at Wheelock, a restaurant called Big O, to celebrate my birthday. Had western and it was quite good. Realised I havnt been out much aft walking past shops and seeing new things almst everywhere =p

The nice movies have been coming out recently too, got to find time to catch them! Inception and The socerrer's apprentice! Dreading tt tmr's a new week of sch agn, but shall keep going on for this week and the week aft. No choice too, isn't it.

2010-07-15T18:25:00.003+08:00

Had flashmob training on Tues for 3 hrs. It was not bad, didnt really liked dancing but aft this, it is quite fun, laughing arnd. Learnt some hip hop moves as part of the performance on 7th Aug. Was able to follow the steps, but when they started to increase the tempo, some of us had a hard time following up. Next training is tmr, abit excited for it, thgh I wld have 6 hrs of free time b4 it starts =p Projects are piling up now tt the first semester is nearing to an end, everything is really rushed and just got updated frm the lecturer tt we wld be having another common test on the last week, right b4 our semester break.. so frustrating.

Anw had campus road run ystdy, which involved us students to run arnd the sch campus for a distance of 4.8km. Was really tired aft the whole thing since the route was made of ups and downs, and we had to go 2 rounds arnd the sch and 2 rounds around the stadium track. Planned to finish the run within 30mins since it is just twice of 2.4km. Managed to complete it at 28mins, so quite happy abt it. But heard frm my classmate tt 28mins still isnt good, since in army the passing time is abt 26mins. Well, shall try harder next year then. Been so tired recently tt my eyes hurt the whole day today frm lack of sleep, so did my legs, aft ystdy's run..making me feel so shack. Another has just zipped past awy agn, unbelievable.

2010-07-11T01:28:00.002+08:00

Participated in the NYP badminton open tournament this week. Joined both the men's and mixed doubles. Both categories managed to make it to the 2nd round, but got kicked out aft tt. Was abit upset for not being able to go on to other rounds, but it was satisfying enough alrdy. Excited for next year's, to try make it to 3rd round at least. Planned to join YOG's flashmob in NYP too since a few classmates are joining, sent the registration alrdy thgh it is kind of late, no reply yet, but shall go ahead for the trainings. Weird to be dancing..but oh well, its a once in a lifetime thing and watsmore I can try out smth new. Ate Subway 3 times during this whole week =) The daily special is interesting since i can try out the different types. Yummy!

Chose to learn German language for my new module in the next semester. Was given other choices of French and Japanese too, and was caught btwn French & German. But decided German instead..hopefully I wont regret. Anw heard the modules we choose might be based on our CT results, so hopefully I can get through. Caught the movie "Despicable Me" just now and it was really an interesting, funny show. Been feeling rather sleepy lately, so off i go

2010-07-01T19:47:00.004+08:00

I finally felt the feeling of waking up, like after such a long 'sleep', I was being pulled back up. Common test is over, but I know I have not put in my best effort, no, did not is the better word. If I cld barely scrape thrgh a passable grade, I wld be glad, but aft going thrgh it, I do not see that happening. Wld not be using the com as often as I wld now, time to control and do what I shld have done since Sec 1..that spark. Time to look foward, cant reverse any of these now. Time is indeed precious. Those who are reading, Im not emo, just in some deep thoughts.

2010-06-27T01:02:00.004+08:00

Kind of wanted to quit blogging agn, the laziness all coming back. But seeing how the rest are 'dilligently' posting quite often, I decided to follow suit. Well Msia trip was fun, bonded quite well with classmates and with some of the other classes. Shall not elaborate much abt the trip..but went to Malacca for nonya lunch, went Sunway Lagoon, saw the Sultan of Sultan's palace, learnt abit abt Msia's history, saw Msia's version of our 'Padang'..almst the same, with a field in front of the building. As for the trip to Awana with Aunt's family, it was slightly boring, but I bonded more with my little cousin. She's so funny and jovial, unlike the quiet person she was in the past. Since Awana is just alittle below Genting Highlands, the weather was nice n cooling, but not as cold and foggy as the Genting I went long time ago. Well ate lots of good food, almst every meal was in a restaurant, except for just a few at coffeeshops. Food in Msia is really awesome =)

Havnt been in a good studying mood these week despite common tests just next week. Disappointed agn on the lack of discipline I still face even at this age. Still got tons to learn abt growing up. Well watched "The Legend Is Born, Ip Man", ystdy with dad n bro. It wasnt as good as expected, but still not bad, Wing Chun still looks good. The lead actor, Dennis To, who acts as Ip Man, looks quite alike to Donnie Yen. Deciding on whether to still continue with frisbee as CCA, or to change to either hockey or squash, or maybe even wing chun. Sounds kind of weird, but see how isit.

Han Hye Jin

Going to Msia, KL, tmr till Fri for school trip, aft which Sat-Mon wld be going to Msia agn, Arwana, near Genting with family and aunt. So 1 week wld be gone just lyk that. Just really, really hope that I wld make full use of my time on the remaining week to revise my work. Handphone recently had a few probs, where the screen wld often black out and the camera function doesn't work now. Going to send it for repairs aft my trips next week. Its only 1 year since I bought it. Think the probs are happening due to a few times on which the phone was dropped, and sometimes when my pockets are kind of big, the phone wld slide to one side and hit the ground when I sit down.

Last week of sch was quite okay, with each day yearning towards the break, and finally now I have it. Shall just skip to Sat, where Climb & Run happened. It was tiring, really felt as thgh it was my limit, anymore and I wld have collapsed. There were a total of 1500 steps and a 3.6kn run in btwn. Ran up and down frm 1st-7th floor, ran abit, then up and down agn, the cycle repeating itself trghout the run. Had to run 2 rounds, which seemed almst impossible to me, since I alrdy felt lyk giving up at 3/4 of the 1st round. But I decided to give it my all n push all the way. Managed to complete it..which felt as thgh all the stairs I had climbed in my lfe, get combined together during that moment. Caught 'The Karate Kid' later on that night at Cathay with family. It was quite an okay show, expected much, but it was rather simple, kind of funny thgh. Getting a feeling tt there wld be sequels to this movie, showing Jayden Smith growing up and stuff.

It was aft the show when the aching on my legs began and on Sun, I felt lyk an old man, going one step at a time on staircases. Had Island Creamery with Julia, Clarice, Vic, Meng, Jer, Jianyi, Clarence later during the evening. The ice cream there is really not bad, tried blackforest and apple pie, nice flavours. Next stop wld be Udders, haha. Played Monopoly Deal aft the ice cream, it was my first time playing, and due partly to beginner's luck, I won the game on my first attempt, of course with the help of the rest too, hahah. The game is kind of simple, yet interesting to play. Julia, Clarice and JY left aftwards and the rest of us had our dinner. Enjoyed the time since we got to talk and catch up with one another. Tmr wld be playing soccer at East Coast with dear Wanhao and others..who has been asking me to join them..kind of reluctant since leg is still aching, but considering how many promises I h i made, shall go for it.

Caught the movie Shrek 4everafter with Greg Tan n Weili at amk hub on Tues. It was a nice, one of the best amg the 4 epi being released till now. Think there wld not be another Shrek movie, since there really isnt anymore things to really talk abt the story of an ogre, hahs. Fri had my first lifegrp meeting with the rest. Talked on the topic of BGR with a little more in-depth and some sharing.

Sat was stay over at Resorts World Sentosa with aunt's family and cousins. Didnt went to Universal Studios since it was quite late and it wld not be worth it since a full day's pass wld cost $70, and closes at 6pm. Shops n restaurants there were so high-end, most of the brands I have nvr came across b4. Coke ordered frm room service were priced at $6, lol. Didnt venture much, but cousins headed to the pool and I must say it was one of the nicest pool I have ever seen. A mix of beach and swimming pool were combined together, and splitted into sections for children and adults use. Saw 3 Lamborghini cars, a Ferrari, a Masserati at the main lobby of the hotel. Quite a number of ppl went posing by the side of the cars with their cameras as if they were the owners. The hotel room had a nice design to it, catered to both adults and kids.

This week wld be the last week of sch, followed by 2 wks of hols(of which 6 days of it wld be used for M'sia trips and the remaining for revision), and it wld be time for Semester tests when sch reopens. Class had decided to make a class tee, and the wordings on the shirt were taken frm quotes used by one of our classmate's, a funny shirt it wld be. Well, this Sat wld also be Climb & Run(One of the 2 events I have joined), having to run arnd NYP and all the stairs in the sch. Hopefully my legs wld be able to carry me thrgh!

2010-05-29T01:42:00.003+08:00

So cool to just post pics and quotes, better than my lengthy posts I guess. Having doubts whether I wld really want to continue frisbee as a cca..perhaps persevering alittle more wld see some results.

Leg cramps are irritating.. Anw saw a beagle on Fri during soccer tt time, quite a nice dog, so decided to check out some pics of the breed, hahs

2010-05-23T23:47:00.005+08:00

My favourite in the big cat family=]

Well started to do soldering during one of the modules on Mon. Thankfully my time spent during Kenwood for part-time job didnt came to a waste aftall, since it got me some basics to solder well. In the end my soldering turned out quite well. Lazy to describe wat happened on the next few days so jump to Fri, which was meeting the usuals for soccer. This time played abit more than last week since muscle cramp felt much better, but in the end it cramped up agn. So played mini frisbee with Nick and a few others with my mini frisbee, hahs. Well Sat was spent rather wastefully slacking quite awhile, aft which went to JY's church. The lifegrp leader chatted with me and not sure why but I agreed to accept christ. Now Im feeling alittle weird with tt decision made, like my life with my family might start to gradually change over time and I wld still need some time to get use with tt decision made. Whatever it is I think best is now to look foward..can't rewrite any of it now. Sun went out for lunch with family..long time since we had one, aft which came home, caught abit of the state funeral service for the late Mr Goh on tv, followed by studying with Meng later on at Dome. Studying was unsuccessful these week too as I spent most of the time to do the project presentation. But found out a currently good studying place for now, just hopefully it wld remain as that in future. Tmr wld be the start of the frisbee league, where we wld be splitted into grps and taught on the different techniques. Kind of excited for it =)

2010-05-16T23:00:00.006+08:00

Quite an exhausting week it has been. Played frisbee during 2 days, badminton on another day and soccer with the usuals..in total 4 days out of the 5, I played sports. Leg crammed up at the last min during frisbee training on wed. In the end both Nick and I were having a hard time walking arnd..lyk 2 old men. Fri was the day we played soccer and surprised Shaun for the advance birthday celebration. It was a good one as it was unexpected and it was a great time for all of us to do some catching up. Most left home except for Nick n MC, where the 3 of us headed to a coffee shop and the 2 of them ate laksa(crazy guys), which was arnd 11.30pm plus at that time. Sat and rested there for some time, thinking of ways how to get the 2 home. One wanted to wait till my dad comes home at arnd 1am so tt can take a lift, while another wanted to borrow my bike and cycle home. Both weirdos, lol. Anw we headed down to the mrt aft my sense told me there was still train service going on. In the end there was a last train headed to Serangoon when we got there. They took a taxi bck home frm Serangoon thgh.

Sat was the day which I experienced smth I had nvr done before. Met Joash n Bryan b4 eating Mac for breakfast. Thanks to the vouchers Bryan brought, each of us had a free burger item in exchange. So in the end we were all bloated up and thght we were going to pass it out some time later(which it didnt fortunately). Had the introduction talk by a officer, whose speech made me drift off for some time. Aft which we headed down to the HDB estates in Outram where we were briefed abt our duty, to renovAID 2 units, one which need some repainting, while the other needed clearing off bedbugs, repainting, and some laundry washing. Split up into 2 grps and went with the tough one. Despite the exterminators getting rid of the bedbugs earlier on, there were still plenty of them arnd.

The 3 of us did laundrying, soaking the elderly couple's clothes in hot water, and hanging them up to dry. I was the water boy for the day...incharge of boiling hot water. But switch roles aft lunch and we did painting aft tt. Painting was fun, just the mess that gets on you which is troublesome. Overall, I felt accomplished aft doing all these, despite the lack of our professionalism to do the things well, as compared to Michelle Chia in RenovAID. Hopefully the elderly couple wld enjoy their bedbug free(Really hope theres none left) life to have peaceful sleeps. Its such a joy to see the smile on the face of the uncle when he saw the newly repainted walls althgh they were just plain white paint. Now, I kind of understand the phrase, its a joy to help others.

Sun was spent collecting MC's repaired lappy and studying session frm 2-7. Was moody n looked fierce, as wat the other 2 said..which I think was due to the tiredness I felt. The music tt was played at the Starbucks was fine, but aft a long time it gets into you, and the place itself was kind of boring maybe cos of its 'ulu-ness' and the small confined area within the cafe. But I managed to get into the mood later on, which was kind of late since it wld be some time left b4 we had to go. Lyk wat MC said, time management is the key right now, which have been troubling me since way back. Still pondering over the decision to learn German too

2010-05-11T22:16:00.003+08:00

Stayed up till 4am last night to complete project on self-esteem for communiation skills. Spent so long just to find a suitable song tt suits the theme. In the end woke up at 8.30am and completed it at 11am, when Im suppose to hand it up during the lesson at 12pm. I must not do this agn..it really is not good. Frisbee ystdy was good, the team I was in won all the matches we played, didnt lose one at all. Thanks to the senior in our team too, who helped coached and assisted us numerous times. Played badminton with classmates tdy. Enjoyable, the sport always brgs a smile to my face =) Tmr there wld be frisbee agn. So its like 3 days of sports. Good or bad, I dunno, but luckily my body is still able to take it aft tdy's badminton. Just received an email frm BBHQ tt the CIP to help repaint the elderly houses would only accept 20 ppl, thus there might not be a chance for us to be part of it..

2010-05-10T00:06:00.005+08:00

Study days are being allocated alrdy starting on Fri n Sun. So far theres Doro, Jer, Meng. Maybe im still getting used to it, tts why my concentration still isnt there yet. Sat was spent rather wastefully. Kept watching tv, watched Resident Evil 2. Aft this experience, I had better cut down on this, esp unnecessary things. I had planned to also actually sleep in earlier, but look at the time now.. Meng is thinking of asking me to bet with him, target to sleep at 11pm on Sun nights if not owe him 10cents per minute delayed, hahs. Shall see abt that. Wld be joining the 3 other Primers to go for the BBHQ Primers Orientation event this Sat. It wld be a reunion meeting for all 4 of us since we have not seen each other since Enrolment Service. The event wld consist of introducing us to the Primers Programme with more details, different frm the past one, as what they stated. A few Presidents Men wld also share their stories, followed by dropping by to elderly ppl living in 1 room flats in Toa Payoh to help repaint their houses as part of CIP. Thght it wld be a good experience since I've not tried it b4, hence decided to ask the 3 to tag along. Kind of looking foward to it =)

2010-05-06T00:44:00.003+08:00

Time is really speeding up, its alrdy Thurs. Aft all the modules tt were taught this week, I really got to start bucking up and revise. Frisbee on Mon and Wed were quite good, but my throwing still has lots to improve. Still thinking on whether to purchase a studded soccer boots for this CCA. Been feeling sleepy in classes too, thanks to all the late nights. Got to really work out a plan to manage my time..should have even done this a long way back during sec sch, damn it.

2010-05-02T16:01:00.005+08:00

Life in poly is moving at a rapid speed, lessons are quite fast, moreover 2nd week of sch had just whish past. Cldn't make it into badminton team aft being rejected during the trials. Joined frisbee now, and guess I wld stick to it, unless smth else interests me, say perhaps squash. Still feel a slight gap btwn my classmates and I, but overall we are beginning to talk more and their cheekiness are beginning to show, hahs. Perhaps I still need some more time to get used to them. Caught Ip Man 2 with family on Fri night, awesome show, find it nicer than part 1. Donnie Yen tops my fighting idols list now. Just received news abt the passing of a fren, Zhengxuan, ystdy. He had been fighting hard since Mon aft being involved in an accident, and went to the other side ystdy night. I only got to know him as a casual fren a few years bck, a UG enthusiast, who have helped his UG in many ways. Thgh I do not knw much abt him, he entered sch the same year as I did and despite the difference in academic status, we were all part of the PHS family. Do hope he wld find peace and his family to be comforted over this incident. Well, it wld be time to begin praticing my lecture notes and stuff, all are becoming alittle hard to understand

2010-04-25T17:14:00.005+08:00

Shall date back all the way from last Sat, where dad and I went to attend bro's NPCC award presentation for its gold unit recepients. Was impressed with the GOH's gun drills, footdrills were okay, except a couple of wrong timings. Liked their all-white uniforms, looking so smart, esp the flag bearers. Well, first week of school was quite hectic, lecturers taught quite fast..each of them saying that everyone wld fall asleep if they speak any slower. Practicals were shown once, and we were expected to follow thrgh alrdy..but we were allowed to ask as many ques as we want. Would need to make it a habit to browse thrgh the things that were taught daily so as to refresh my memory. Signed up for badminton and frisbee as CCAs, during CCA open hse, still deciding which one I wld want to commit to. Also signed up for Community Service Club, perhaps it wld help me clock some CIP hrs that might be needed in future. Bought a Fujitsu laptop too, in white, looks cool with its 5 glow when-touched buttons, haha. Heard presentations during projects and stuff, has to be made wearing formal clothings..tie, office wear. Sounds ridiculous, but I suppose this is to help us to apply during our jobs in the future.

One crazy thing I did was on Fri, where Greg, YC, Wai Kuong and I went to join Hengyong and his frens at The Cage in Kallang for soccer from 12-2am, which was later extended to 4. Saw many familiar faces, mostly from the 2008 graduating batch. One of Hengyong's frens drove us back home, and the roads were so empty that we reached Bishan in less than 15mins. Friday was also the day which PHS held its 45th Anniversary concert, Radix, which had its Performing Arts Group performing and the BB+GB's PD. The concert continued on Sat too, and all in all, I think it was a job well done by everyone, could see their efforts paid off aft endless hrs of trainings. Got to try out being part of the backstage crew where Ms Chung roped us in when she saw us hanging arnd the backstage. It was a fun experience! Proud of the PD team for their good performance on both days, despite the mistakes they made, which no one wld wanted them to happen, but all in all its over, so regardless of what happened, do it better the next time when theres another chance. Grateful for their patience and perseverance for each training with the helpers, and always putting on a smile aft each training despite the fatigue and having lesser time to complete homework. This small things gives me the push to come down for each training whenever I could. Thanks for not giving us a hard time =)

Went to Jianyi's church for the 2nd time ystdy, where they talked abt BGR. The pastor was a joker, and they talked abt dating since most of the ppl there were young teens ranging frm 11-17. Learnt some things, and he pointed out not to believe in love at first sight, which I myself sort of believe in it, hahs. Well sch starts tmr agn, and as the weeks go by, things wld bound to get tougher..so we ourselves shld aim to get tougher too. Jessica Liu got a spot in the top 10 during Star Awards just now, whoo! But too bad she wld be quitting acting soon. Mum's birthday is tmr

2010-04-17T01:48:00.003+08:00

Went back to sch for 2 days to attend the maths preparatory class with Bingyao, Jon, Mitchell. Lessons were from 9am-4pm and we kept having the desire to head home during lunch time, but Mitchell gave in n left, while the rest of us went through it till 4pm. Second day was the same thing, this time the desire was bigger, but we kept reminding ourselves we wld be a step ahead among the rest, giving us a better chance to do well. Thus this time all of us stayed through. Was learning back A-maths, but this time I understood the whole thing much better than in sec sch..the way the lecturer taught was good, moreover, the lecture hall was a good environment for me..didnt felt sleepy at all..despite going thrgh close to 6 hrs of maths.

Today, we went back to sch to collect our poly cards b4 heading to The Cage at East Coast via taxi. The place was much better compared to the one at Kallang, bigger and cooler. Played for 2hrs b4 heading back home. Asked directions on where to take Bus 13 home..the journey was really long, but it went to some places which I have yet seen b4. Changed and got ready for aunt to picked bro n I up to head down to the restaurant to celebrate grandma's birthday. One of the younger cousins gave grandma a flower with the words happy birthday in chinese. Then she asked me why bro n I didnt get anything for her. Was quite taken back when she said these as it made me realised smth. So kind of decided to get smth for her next yr, to thank her for all the support she has given to our family. Tmr, bro wld be in the GOH for his NPCC awards presentation parade to award the gold units. Wld be joining dad to see him, anw it wld let me see a parade in a spectator's view instead of being part of it aft years being in parade itself. Just realised April has the most number of birthdays on my list..quite a number of frens, grandma, mum, all of them, have their birthdays in this month. Well, saw this on Shaun's tumblr, found it interesting. "It was a dream, not a nightmare, a beautiful dream I could never imagine in a thousand nods. There was a girl next to me who wasn’t beautiful until she smiled and I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following, soaking through my body and out my fingertips in shafts of colour and I knew that somewhere in the world, somewhere, there was love for me."

2010-04-13T21:19:00.005+08:00

Orientation was boring, introduction talk, toured arnd the school while taking pics as a class, followed by lunch then abit of games, after that homed. Think there cld have been more done by the organising committee. Look at NP and SP, the camps from what we heard are exciting, at least it helps to really bond the class, but the games we play at NYP are maybe just a mere scratch from theirs. Admit im comparing, despite knowing how tough it is planning for orientation since I've done it too, at a smaller scale. Well, just got to try my best to know the rest of the class more better in time to come since it wld be 2 yrs we are spending with one another b4 splitting up agn. Going bck to sch tmr and Thurs agn for maths prep class. Glad I took up the job at Kenwood, at least I have a small foundation on how to do soildering..since the lab materials we were asked to buy, consists of the soldering tools. The textbks are not cheap either, with the maths bks in part 1 & 2 alrdy costs $15 each and a Physics book at $25. Thankfully, our group leader is trying to get some of his frens to pass down their books as 2nd hand to us at a cheaper price. Oh and NYP cant seem to get enough of "crumpler" goodie bags, different design now thgh.

2010-04-12T17:40:00.002+08:00

Caught the movie Date Night after facial today, timing was just nice to get a ticket. The show was quite crude, but it was funny too, it didnt really hit my expectations though. Seems like the last movie left to catch is How To Train Your Dragon, then soon there wld be more like Iron Man 2 & Ip Man 2. Think I wld give Clash Of the Titans a miss since quite a number of ppl are saying it isnt that nice. The mixed feelings for tmr is getting stronger as the hours past, but getting more of the excited feeling, beginning to feel like it was the 1st day of Sec school. Next update would most probably be over the weekends, so the 'person' checking daily, take note, lol.

2010-04-12T01:23:00.013+08:00

Starting to appreciate Indie songs, thanks to Lily Scott. The person in the video is from S'pore, saw her on the newspaper today so decided to listen to her

2010-04-11T19:20:00.005+08:00

3hrs of PD training ystdy went by quite fast, still slightly messy, but at least we got to spot the small little mistakes made by a few individuals to perfect their overall performance. Didnt join the rest for lunch aft training and went home to sleep b4 going to Bukit Timah to meet Jianyi. Went to his church, attended service. Thgh the atmosphere was abit like City Harvest's, it wasnt that crowded. The service was a youth one, thus there were many young teens, all feeling hyperish and jumping till I cld feel the ground trembling. Felt it was quite okay, the smaller number was much better than the huge crowd at CH. Had dinner at Ramen Ramen, wished Clarice and another guy happy birthday followed by cutting of cake. Left the place and headed to Tea Party, where we ate scones as introduced by Jianyi, and with Clarice treating us for it. My purpose for joining them was to just try out the scones, but had to wait till the end of the day to get it. Managed to take the last bus home exactly at 12.01, so cool.

Today was spent reading newspapers from yesterday's and today's. Read about a state in Sudan being classified as the world's most hungriest place, since about 46% of the children there are considered malnourished despite social groups aiding to abt 80,000 of them and there are fears the numbers would increase significantly if there isnt any rain for the next few mths to grow crops. Contradictingly, I caught Teen Cribs on MTV, a show which shows rich teens with big and beautiful houses and they wld give a tour arnd their houses to showcase what they have. I must admit I was amazed by how superb their houses were, but after comparing them to the kids in Sudan, the huge gap of social status is really saddening. Met up with the BB & GB seniors to celebrate Yongchun's bday. Headed to Ashton's at Dhouby and it was my first time. Felt so blur when ordering..must have been the calamri rings I have been eating for each dinner the past 2 nights. Planning to catch the movie Date Night tmr, should be watching it alone I guess..cant contain my movie desires any longer.

2010-04-09T04:06:00.006+08:00

It was Clarice's birthday ystdy. Unexpected little number of ppl turned up at Sentosa, but like what Clarice said, things are sometimes the best when kept simple, where it may not be that fun, but it helped bond us more together. Soccer at the beach felt like walking on a heated stove, old injury on the feet hurts now after aggrievating it while kicking the ball. Felt like a noob while playing basketball with Qinghai and Jackson..still think I'm not suited to play basketball, hahs. Also played the mini frisbee I brought and did push-ups as forfeits, but was bored aft that. Lazed alrdy on the beach and did some chit chatting. Caught the sunset before washing up. Went to buy our food before meeting at Vivo's rooftop to begin the finale of Clarice's birthday. Thankfully more ppl came and it just lifted up the atmosphere. Ate foot-long from Subway and was full to the max. Surprised Clarice with a cake later on and followed by picture time. The day ended great in the end, am sure there wld still be more outings in future, farewells are never goodbyes.

2010-04-07T22:49:00.003+08:00

Soccer at The Cage was exhausting..small area, yet began panting after running back to front..think the street soccer court is much better, just cancel out the heat. Quarrelled with my mum over the matter to swim at Sentosa tmr. She was just worried since there had been many mischaps there, but unknowingly I just shouted back. Disappointed with myself since I had promised myself to not quarrel with her but failed to do so. Shall make it a point that this would be the last time. Well tmr the movie, Date Night, would be open. Anticipating to catch it and "How to train your dragon" soon, I hope. Watched abit of the show, Glee, today. It was not too bad, much better and interesting than High School Musical. Heard Chnl 5 is going to air it soon, so perhaps I might want to catch it, but for now Flash Foward and Knight Rider comes in first.

2010-04-06T21:20:00.006+08:00

Been fondling for over a year to change the blogskin, and finally it is done. Thanks Doro! Can't say I have been spending my holidays wisely since I have not used it wisely and I just can't seem to finish watching the dramas that are lined up. Well at least BOF is now completed. This week would be quite packed with soccer at The Cage tmr with the guys, and celebrating Clarice's birthday at Sentosa on Thurs. After which a week later and the next step of furthur education starts..mixed feelings about that. Cling just came back to S'pore too..great to see her again. Hope she enjoys herself and get the chance to eat fishballs and onions before heading back to Aus again, since they would be 'rare' food items back there, haha. Feels quite weird to be back blogging..like talking to myself, maybe a few more posts would be fine? Let's see then

2010-04-06T19:39:00.000+08:00

FINALLY!

2009-11-23T02:18:00.003+08:00

It's been such a long time..having difficulty deciding on whether to cntnue on blogging or just stop here. On one hand, all the memories all stated here, while on the other hand lies me being lazy to type wats going on. Whatsmore, till nw i still dont know how to change a blogskin. Many things have passed by and the feeling is kind of weird. All i wanted was to slack my way thrgh during sch days. Nw aft all tt is gone, I feel slacking isnt tt nice actually..feel lyk theres so many things I would be able to do instead of idling arnd.

For now, I am just going to stick to my plan of going bck for skating lessons, get a job, and also to complete the movies and dramas I have missed out. The past few posts till this current post seemed so distant, time is really gliding past real quickly.

2009-07-21T23:14:00.002+08:00

Long time since the last post. Guess it would happen again the following time..the feeling to blog isn't there anymore, quite lazy, let alone slightly busy. Prelim 1 just ended, kind of disheartened with my so-called determination to study hard for it. Prelim 2 will be different, promised.
Watched Harry Potter & the Order of the phoinex with Nick today when he came my house aft Mengchao lent it to me. Tmr will be catching HP 1/2 Blood Prince with the rest. Hope it isn't as disappointing as Order of phoinex. Started watching One Piece too, not bad, but Naruto is still top for me...maybe my views would change after sometime.

Well, plan to read a book for this week, at least to regain my old hobby again. Going to stay overnight at Ubin frm Sat to Sun to recee for Coy Camp at year end. Damnit, I still don't know how to change my blogskin!, lol. Next post wouldn't be up so soon I guess, shall see about it.

2009-05-11T01:14:00.002+08:00

I must say things have slightly improved. Spending more time with the usuals n it seems like our gang has grown thanks to new recruitment from the other 2 Sec 5 classes, lol. New hobby for the usuals n recruits: GOSSIPSS!!! So funny to see how everyone come together and laughing over the stuffs being shared. Caught 2 movies within this 2 weeks, "Taken" & "X-men Origins". Think "Taken" is the better one between the 2. Hopefully I would be able to watch "Night At The Musuem 2" the next time. Last episode of "To Get Her/ 爱就宅在一起 " was shown on Sat. Ending was predictable, slow-moving, yet quite funny. Mum said Rainie Yang looked hideous with the mushroom hairstyle, I partly agree with that. Next upcoming show to catch would be "Boys Over Flowers"..since my mum has been 'promoting' it.

Caught "Harper's Island" last week and ystdy. It was quite okay, alittle scary with the murder, but like the game cluedo. Mysterious type of show. Mum has also confiscated the modem to prevent bro n I frm using the com..since we cldn't control the usage of it. She only puts it back on weekends, so not so bad aft all. But aft 2 weeks of experiencing these...I found that the com has really been taking up most of my time over the years n days. Perhaps it was better that the confiscation carries on.

Alright time to get ready n prepare for Prelim 1..which is coming real soon. Quite tensed up.

Been quite disappointed this week. Test results were just barely able to pass. Ystdy's POP was alittle disappointing (For me), due to the miss of the 2 rehearsals b4 parade tt might have changed the prob. But it is all over, Shldn't blame it on anything nor anyone, just glad that the rest had fun. It was a good job done for NCC being the organisers, truly appreciated the shirt and the guidiance their seniors gave. Been unwell lately, caught a cold and had sorethroat, at least now it has deteoriated. Caught "Handsome Suit" with the rest last Fri, and it was a nice+funny show. Wldn't mind watching it agn. The rest,(admittedly me too), liked the main actress, n the other actress in the movie, hahs. Might be going to watch X-men origins nxt Fri with them again, see how it goes.

Tmr's mum's birthday, but will be celebrating today. I have always been unsure to what to do for her, e.g buying presents, etc. Her only present she wants is to see both bro n I study hard and do her proud, but we have just been time n time agn making this simple present of hers drift furthur away. Just hope to stop this dragging on of things. Have also been thinking lately about my presence in BB. It has been 5 years, and till now, I still dont really feel belonged/attached to it. Thgh I have been able to click with the seniors n juniors, experiencing the fun times we had, it is just smething inside me, tt feels weird..lyk despite all this bonding n closeness, I still find myself abit stranger to this CCA. Perhaps sports CCA might have been better? Pondering over whether I shld drop out being a Primer now..mayb it is the commitment, or the leadership required, or being a good example to the juniors. Dropping out as a Primer seems lyk a big decision to make.

Whats my purpose, dream, motivation? All these questions I still have yet to answer nor think about. Guess many will say, the answer would come to me soon, but thats what they do to encourage, I myself still got to find out that out. Shall stop here now, hopefully answers would dawn on me sometime later.

Sometimes giving up seems to be the more appropriate idea so we just let go and fall. But the best thing for not giving up is to pull yourself up despite the many falls and to work harder till succeess comes flowing in.

It has been 1 empty promise after another to do what I had promised myself. Totally disappointed with this, yet trying to find out how to go about doing it. Teachers have been wondering whats the great decline that has happened in me..AND despite knowing what is it, I still have yet to change it and make it get going again.

On a happier note, we celebrated Clarice's birthday aft remedial on Wed. Going to catch movie on Sun with childhood frens, aft a long period since I last watched one. Okay, going to try clear most of the 'mountain snow' now :^)

It has been a nice, whacky 2 weeks. Had Dining Etiquette, food was okay, learnt some new dining manners and quite enjoyed myself. Shall skip till Sat, where Drill Camp was held. There was Chaoyang Camp and Gospel Camp being held together as ours. So the school was quite congested. Plus the hyperness of both the Gospel Camp n Chaoyang Camp, quite alot of noise produced. First programme of the camp started off with drill, as indicated by the name of the camp alrdy, hahs. Cldn't join them as there was Chi Oral & Listening Prelim for 5N. Joined them aft tt, and taught those taking Drill 1. Left for home to change and got ready for some magician show at Clarke Quay with family halfway thrgh the camp. The place was crowded with Liverpool & Man-U fans, as there was a broadcast there for the major match on that day. Headed back to camp aft the show.

Second Day was church service, slept during some parts..cldn't help it. *Sorry for setting a bad example to those juniors who saw* Aft service was 3 hrs plus of drill, did abt 2 hrs of drill, b4 letting the Drill 1 guys to rest, since officer suggested too. Went to look at the GOH training, and they were impressive, it was lyk an overnight success. Had movie screening in the night, "Grindeon Gang". It was a very good, inspirational show, and I dare say it was better than "Facing The Giants". Eager to watch it again! The $37 spent on chips for the boys during the movie, was gone in just half an hour to the show. Aft the show was supper, had prata. Darren was lyk descirbing the mutton curry as "watery waste"/ a.k.a, "LS". And that the prata was lyk the toilet paper, in which we had to tear the prata into smaller pieces n dip the curry. So it was being described by Darren to be using toilet paper and dipping into "LS" and eating it. Whats worse is that he placed the packet of prata flooding with curry at his butt and made the "sound of LS-ing". AND I WAS IN FRONT OF HIM EATING MY PRATA THE WHOLE TIME HE WAS DOING IT. Thankfully, I wasn't disgusted but engulfed with laughther instead, and finished the prata =)

Last day of camp was drill mock test, I helped to prepare the Drill 1 to recall what they had learn, b4 heading for my remedial. When remedial ended, so did Drill Camp, and I headed to Subway with the seniors. Tues was outing with the gays, so went for ice-skating at Kallang Leisure Park. It was expensive, but all of us did enjoyed ourselves. I have to totally agree, that despite roller-blading having more balance and easier to manauver, ice-skating just totally overtakes it due to the cold temperature of the skating ring, and it is much more safer as it wld be the ice you are falling on and not the hard ground. Suffered major abrasions on my leg aft the whole thing, really hurt alot, even till now. Ate at KFC b4 heading to city area to shop for Clarence's things and finally homed. Spent ALOT of money this week, so I ought to really save, save and save, while possible. Have not been doing my hols assignments too, and I just can't find the time, or discipline to do it... Got to try rush it all out during the remaining days.

Promo Test is just this week, and Enrolment Service is the week ahead, so hope the Boys wld not be tensed up and everything to go well. Wishing GB the best of luck for thier Drill Com, so...good luck! Clarence would also be leaving for Korea for his floorball national schools meet. May he have fun there, and BRING back some nice goodies for us, hahas. Alright, tests would be coming up soon aft sch reopens, I better set my mind in the correct position.

2009-03-06T18:14:00.003+08:00

Time to sum up all that has happened during this week, kind of forget what happened on Mon & Wed, Mon I only remembered watching the last episode of the Channel 8, 9pm show. The ending was one of the best so far aft so many dramas that I had watched from the past with weird endings. Tues had 2.4km run, timing wasnt good with 12.16. Starting to deprove already.. Thurs got back Eng compo and I got 24/30 for it! Really happy since it was my first time getting so high, and it has been a long time since my Eng standard came back. Highest was Spencer, with 25 and he could really write nice compos, everything was written so fluently, good job! Had Annorexic talk by a professor during CF period, but did my Eng compo correction and listened to some parts, aft that slept throughout..was just too tired. Happened to watch Don't Forget The Lyrics for the 1st time as I thought it was a rather boring show, but instead it was not bad. Cos there were Sergeant Dola, Adrianna Wow, and Phua Chu Kang to sing. All of them were funny, especially Phua Chu Kang( Gurmit Singh ). But he sings well, just that he added some Phua Chu kang singlish in the songs, hahs.

Had Jogathon today.Was suppose to meet the rest at 7.15am at YCK MRT, but as usual, I was the earliest. Waited for some time b4 the rest come, and waited for Vic. It was already 7.30am by tt time. The last time we had Jogathon at AMK park, we were also late, so it seemed to be some kind of "trend" already, haha. Reached there just in time for the run, waited for the B Boys turn to run, which by that time most of us did not had the "anxiety" or mood to run. The Advance route had 2 hills, which was uber tiring. Was breatheless aft running the 1st estimated 400m. Got 28th in position in the end, due to the last min overtaking by Gary, hahas. Was not really glad with the position, but at least I did better during this time, compared to the previous year when Jogathon was held at AMK park too. Headed back to school for Sports Fiesta, and played Cepteh. Saw roller blades on lent, but didn't dared to try since I still have yet to really get the hang...next time maybe. Didnt really saw the different sports played by the rest of the school, but stayed at parade square and played Cepteh throughout. Cepteh is really a fun game, didnt felt really bored at all. Mr Edmund Choo even joined in and he was really good, maybe from past experiences during his childhood days. Headed to hall for some videos and stuff, but dunno why there wasn't any prize giving for the Jogathon. Perhaps next week I guess.

Went to play soccer with the rest aft we were dismissed. The weather was very hot, felt lyk we were in a desert, thgh I dunno how being in a desert feels lyk. Got "stich" since we just ate b4 playing. Rested all the way due to tiredness and thirst. Watched them play instead. Headed home with Terence, and he told me some of his personal stuffs, hahs. Tmr's going to be tiring day once again, since I wld be joining the BB guys at Ubin for the Sec 1s recruitment fun outing. Hope all goes fine for it. Would be a station master, so just hope the station would be at a nice place for slacking =) Would be trying out my clothes for Dining Ettiquite held at next Fri, later in the night, to see if I need to buy. If so, then tmr after Ubin, I shall see how on following the rest to buy their clothes. Still cant believe how everything is happening so fast, but just got to face this fact.

2009-02-28T18:45:00.002+08:00

CT has finally ended, and results were just too depressing, lyk wat Meng Chao mentioned. Dont plan to mention how it was, but going to really stop using the com frm now onwards till Fri and weekends. It is a promise I made to myself. Played street soccer at the hall frm Mon-Wed aft remedials. It was fun, but too bad my legs were just not "helping" me, since I kept losing the ball. Sweated out alot, so guess it wasnt tt bad either. Went to play badminton with MengChao, Sokvay, and Yi Qi at the CC, to mark the end of CT. Was fun, but got alittle boring midway as there were only 4 of us, and we just kept playing with each other. Whatever it is, it actually did helped me to make my day, as it had really been quite some time since I played the sport. Stayed back in sch on Thurs to help with the class banner, which was only a total of 6 ppl out of the 43 in the class, doing it. Helped to paint some parts, while the others actually did most of the things. PE was postponed to Tues, so heard nxt week we wld be having PE on Tues n the main one on Thurs. So tiring. Stayed behind in sch to complete my Eng compo on Fri, followed by having Awards meeting abt the badgewrk n stuff on the Boys. Didn't joined the rest for dinner at Chomp Chomp since I had a family dinner thing, then came home and played some Dota with Wanhao n the rest. Had not been going for roller blading lessons this 2 weeks, since I was lazy and busy, so see how. The numerous falls I had frm the previous lesson had caused me to be traumatised on trying to blade agn. Maybe i just need to stop for awhile.

Today was just one long day. Had drill session to teach the Sec 1s frm 9.30am-12.30pm. Followed by 2pm-4.30pm. Had Enrolment meeting midway between these periods, and I was particularly nodding my head off. My eyes just kept shutting, really drowsy. Weather today has been rather weird..since it was hot and sunny in the morning, followed by rain during afternn, and it was all hot agn..making the atmosphere humid and dry. But soon after, it rained agn..so.. it was troublesome. Anw on a lighter and happier mode, I recently watched the new Taiwanese show starring Rainie Yang and Jiro Wang. It was not bad, quite nice, the songs too. Most lykly sung by Farenheit. Luckily it only airs on Sat nights, so I wld be able to control the tv addiction. Nxt Sat wld be Ubin trip with Sec 1s for their day of games and fun. Hope all goes fine for it and the upcoming events, such as Jogathon. Alright, my head is spinning and feeling too tired. Ta~Ta

2009-02-21T00:21:00.004+08:00

This boy, Madin Mohammed is just 6 years old and he already plays soccer so well. Arh, how i wish my legs could do those moves. At least i am quite good with my hands/maybe not. Hahs. This week has just been a blink of an eye..everything just brushed across so fast, didn't felt lyk it was Friday today. Well, just dunno whats with me, but I think I am going to really flunk my CT badly. My mind is just totally blank..I tend to suffer STM (Short-Term-Memory) lately, so cant rmb things tt much, at the most it goes in and out in an instant. Alright, shall do my Eng assignment 2, n perhaps 3 too. Last 2 papers nxt week ar going to be tough..just hope it wld turn out fine. " An invisible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between an Ordinary person & a Great person"

2009-02-15T23:31:00.004+08:00

Well, Happy Belated Valentines Day to everyone! Didnt got presents for ppl cos there was no time (quite a bad excuse), but hoped you guys have enjoyed the day. My drowsiness in class have seemed to worsen this week, esp in Physics lessons, with Mr Choo teaching. I dunno why, but his voice is just too soothing, just keeps making my eyes shut. Hahas, well I better do my best in staying awake for his class, if not my Physics grades wld just keep falling. Stayed back this week with Mengchao only for 2 days out of 5. The rest of the days were busy with other things. Sorry Mengchao!

Had PE on Thurs at YCK stadium, where my timings for 2.4km have deproved greatly, but an unexpected event took place, where Stella accidentally tripped over a gap between the drain, thus a bad wound on her knee. Hope she gets better. Friday was Total Defence Day celebration, had to wear Primers uni and received quite a number of comments and questions abt the new uni. I was the only one in school who had and was wearing the uni during tt day. So maybe tts the reason. Was involved with NE Quiz, which was held during assembly, having to answer NE questions n stuff. In the end, Sec 4s n 5 cohort emerged as the overall winner among the other cohorts. We received a free movie ticket pass each, where we cld choose whatever movie we want to watch for FREE. Got to say it was the best Valentines Day present I ever had, lols. Going to use it once CT is over and choose btwn "The curious case of Benjamin Button, Valkyrie, Defiance." So far i have this 3 in mind, hahas. Went for lunch aft sch n headed bck to sch again for guitar workshop with Jianyi n the rest. Learnt to play the G,C,D,E chords. Still got lots to learn aft seeing how Sirbest, Jianyi, Spencer played, hahs.

Went to Ubin ystdy, with BB guys halfway during parade for preparing day trip with Sec 1s on 28th. Headed to Changi Village for lunch b4 going to the jetty. I must say I played a small part of "expedition guide" for them, as the rest didnt know where the jetty was, much less how to go to Changi V. Took the boat ride, snatched a bunch of map pamphlets, then rented the bikes. Bryan n Zhengjie got onto a double-seater, while the rest of us got the singles. We took a wrong turn during the way and had to cycle up many steep sloppy routes, which was just energy-draining and thigh-aching. Was quite surprised JiangWei managed to catch up with us most of the time, as even I was having trouble with all the tiredness, much less him. Not trying to mean anything here, but I really respect his perserverance. Checked out a few spots and took pics for our game stations. Showed them my fav spot in Ubin, which is A.K.A, the "Ubin Boys" area (the 2Compassion guys who went last time). While cycling, I enjoyed the nature and the smell of the sea, aft being tied down by so many stuff in sch, smell of books,etc. So it was a nice relief, the wind, cycling with friends. How nice. Tried the double-seater bike with Bryan at the back seat halfwa thrgh the trip, and i must say it was fun & nice. Didnt tried riding a double-seater bike b4, so it was really smething cool, haha. Cycled for a total of arnd 3 hrs plus b4 heading back to mainland.

Ate at Changi V again when we reached and took 1 hr plus of bus ride to reach home. Slept abt 3/4 of the journey due to tiredness and muscle aches, esp butt ache! Oh and I broke a record in my whole life ysdy. I ate noodles the whole day, Breakefast was fried bee hoon, Lunch was chicken chop hor fun (Delicious~iaso!), n Dinner was hokkien mee, haha!

Had been rather unlucky this week with my results for my tests, much less, the times I fell during roller-blading on Fri. I just kept felling, despite trying to balance n be careful. I guess I still got to work hard on both studies n rollerblading. So many events wld be coming up this month and March. Common tests wld be 1st, followed by day-trip with Sec 1s(28th), Jogathon+Sports Fiesta(6 March), and lastly Enrolement service(29 March). Shall keep up to my promise for not using the com everyday unless smth impt or checking up on things.

Havn't been staying awake for lessons this week, thgh trying my best, i still tend to doze off. And what I calculated was correct, I cld only stay awake for arnd 30 mins with a sweet during lessons. Mengchao gave me a sweet at 12pm during Maths lessons on Thurs, and I started to feel alittle drowsy at 12.30pm, lol. This week was also the most number of times in my life that I have heard teachers calling my name, due to my sleepiness, hahs. Going to really manage my time now aft going for the time management lesson today with Jianyi and the rest. Got to start SLEEPING EARLY ! Had lots of tests this week, and I am only confident of passing just one paper out of the so many taken. Lost my green nike waterbottle this week too..its only been with me for less than 6 mths n its gone. Wonder why there are such ppl arnd who goes aft things which arn't theirs, when they cld just leave it at the same spot where they saw it. Kind of miss the "sqeezing" of water out of the bottle now, but at least theres the Adidas to take back the duty of providing water without the spray.

Ran arnd AMK park during PE on Thurs, and it was exhausting! I always dislike the slopes in the park, just so very tiring. But at least this week's run had no time records taken, if not I guessed many of us wld have failed. Collected the new NE badge today, thgh i still find the old one nicer, with red & gold, hah. Shall try to aid with NE as much as I can for the final year. More homework were given for nxt week, so going to start doing them tmr as promised to myself!

2009-01-30T23:13:00.002+08:00

Once again another week has passed, yet I still find myself struggling quite abit for this year. English was along an "okay" subject, yet i managed to fail the 1st comprehension assignment, badly. It was a bad fail, thgh Ms Kumari said she expected almost everyone to fail since it is a big jump frm 'N's to 'O's, or most of the teachers actually said tt. It is yet again back to the usual phrase of "keep working hard, learn frm your mistakes, try harder next time".
Chinese New Year break was a nice one, but instead of using it wisely..i had to misuse it by doing uneccessary stuff with no self-control. Wasted 4 good days, and now regretting.. just the same old habit since sec 3..

Thurs was PE and nowadays PE means 'The unknown 2.4km', cos the teachers would just tell us to run abt the condos and say tt the entire distance is less than 2.4km, abt 1.2km plus. But the things is that the 1.2km which they state it was, felt lyk a more-than 2.4km distance. This week's run was 2 rounds, so I managed to complete it, but now suffer the after-run cramps. And btw, Ms Tan, the PE teacher is super fit..she was lagging behind to push the late runners to start off, while i was alrdy choinging in front. Then when I was half way thrgh the run, she just overtook me breezily and going all the way till i cldnt see her at all. Superb fitness, lol.

Homework & tests are the top piority now, while 2nd is having a good nap time..which i doubt i wld be able to have it. Feeling totally worned out alrdy, so got to stay strong

2009-01-22T23:18:00.005+08:00

I need ideas, ways, suggestions......on HOW TO KEEP MYSELF AWAKE! Been yawning most of the time this week, (bet some of you wanted to yawn when you read the word "Yawn"), hahs. I kept nodding off to short drifts of sleep when the teacher teaches, and whats worse is when I am at home doing my homework, I would close my eyes to think of solutions on how to do the question...and next moment, I would be sleeping alrdy. It keeps happening arnd 10-15 min intervals..irritating and annoying. So please tell me how to keep awake!

Straitjacket Feeling - The All-American Rejects

2009-01-11T21:23:00.002+08:00

Its been a chaotic week at school last week. Got to noe the rest of the teachers teaching us, and I got to say that most of them/ all of them dun seem to be in the mood for jokes n stuffs frm us this year. Except perhaps Mr Edmund Choo n his jokes. Hope they cld loosen up alittle, and enjoy teaching us instead of getting disappointed in us. Had a mini Chem test just on on the 2nd day of the week, and I dun tink i wld be able to do well in it..forgot hw to do the ques alrdy. Had PD trainings for BB day, and its been really messy here n there, but luckily for the seniors and the perserverance of the team, we have managed to learn everything. Sorry for all the shoutings I made to the team, just cant seem to get you guys motivated, but still thanks for all the hard work you guys gave!

Been quarelling with my mum during this week too. Cant seem to grease with the way she asks me to, and just keep talking bck to her, as if she was an opposing lawyer against my client. Things took a turn just yesterday, and now much better, but the "feud" is still there. Shall do my best to be lyk when i was in Sec 1 agn...doing my best to please her n dad in my studies. Headed for NYP Open House on Fri, and it was nice as it was my 1st time going arnd in a Poly, hahs. But still, I am considering over the choice btwn JC or Poly. Just cant seem to decide! Would be coming bck as a Primer in BB, sounds quite suprising eh... Most ppl have heard me complaining abt my dislike towards BB, alwys whining that I want to quit it, but the attachment with this group for 5 years..must have changed my mind. It wld be tough, since I wld be quite involved agn, but I love the feeling being together with the seniors and mates, just so fun. Had CCA Open House on Sat..which I felt it was quite a waste of time, but at least i got to revise bck my knot tying, thgh it wasnt tt good at holding on to the stuff tt it was tied on. Sec 1s this year apart frm their cuteness, most of them love to talk bck, quite irritating. But i dun think as bad as Julia's bro...frm the way ppl describe her bro as, lol. Stayed behind for PD training..managed to complete teaching the whole song, but left a few more guys to learn finish it.

Tmr wld be the big day where our trainings wld be appreciated, and thinking abt tmr, I have yet to polish my things and pin up the badges! This week wld be another hecktic week with meeetings for BB, and remedials everyday. Lack of sleep is coming bck to me agn, so my only hope is to nap in the morning in school b4 assembly or close my eyes for a few mins during lessons. Okay, time to get bck to homework and my sleep

2009-01-03T00:29:00.004+08:00

Lyk everyone said, first day of school was ystdy! The Sec 1s this year are really cute, hahas, sme of their names are unique too. Julia even made fun of them saying most of the girls look short, (when she was actually lyk them in the past..), lol. Anw got to know Mr Edmund Choo as form teacher. As the rest described him, he is alittle weird, yet funny, but jokes are mostly "cold", lol. Found out tt he n Mr Clement Ng seems to be alyk in giving weird jokes, moreover the 2 of them are Physics teachers, hahas. Had assembly talks n stuffs, learnt tt this year is really a "bullet train + no fool abt" year thrgh the calendar of events. Starting to feel weird inside alrdy, Dammit!

Well, headed to Bishan to eat followed by getting Mengchao's floorball blade n grip, aft which went to laze arnd J8. Went home, got ready, and went for rollerblading. I always love the walk down to Bishan park during the evening periods for the lessons..everything seems so peaceful, the wind just gently blowing, clouds are nice, sunlight is just nice. The best of all is passing by the Dog's Training Area. There wld be a number of dogs with their owners during tt time, and the dogs are just very cute. There's always golden retrievers, terriers, collies, malteses, jack russels, and Siberian Huskies. Starting to really lyk rollerblading bit by bit, thgh doing it on the roads in the park still seems alittle tough for me to control. I'm also mesmerised by the little kids learning rollerblading with me, cos they are just aged 4-12 plus, only some same age or older than me, but i wld alwys take lessons with the younger ones, and the way they control the skates ar just very cutesy, adding on the helmets on their heads and the protective gears..which seem oversized for them, hahs.

Realised I have been using the word "cute" nowadays, cant help it..keep seeing so many stuffs related to the word =) And Ponyo the Jap cartoon movie is also smehw related..just love the song theme of the movie, hahas. Shall stop here, got a feeling tt nxt week wld be the start of hmeworks n stuff.

2008-12-25T01:01:00.004+08:00

Posting on Christmas day itself, cool... haha. Watched Twilight n Yesman during the few days, n Yesman, to my preference, is nicer (Not trying to offend Twilight-lovers). Jim Carrey is just too funny, hahs. And nw the guys are crazy over Kristen Stewart n Zooey Deschanel, lol. Well, thanks to Mengchao, i managed to caught up the missed episodes of Little Nonya, as being a nice guy, he narrated everything. Have been watching Bu Liang Xiao Hua too, thanks to Dorothy for recommendations, but mostly was bcos of my curiosity to watch it, hahas. Then lastly, have been watching Iljimae too.

Went to relative's hse today to celebrate, met uncles n aunties whom i see only twice a year, Chinese New Year n Christmas. Ate, Talked, then watched tv. Then there was this uncle who had a phone which cld be a radio and a tv! Just had to pull out the antenna, choose ur channels(only S'pore channels), then out cmes the show. Really cool. He bought it at Sim Lim Square, so shall save up n mayb drop by smeday to check it out, hahas. Will be watching Ip Man ( Eep-Mun) tmr with Nik, Perry, bro n the other kids frm the tourgrp. Watched the trailer, and the effects ar just so cool. Cicakman looks lyk a funny movie to watch. Oh, n Red Cliff 2 is coming out too, lol. Sound lyk sme movie maniac, hahs. Alright ending here, got to start preparing for nxt year AND Merry Christmas!

Alright shall post on the trip to China.
Day 1 : Woke up at 4.30am in the morning, met with Nik's n Perry's family, then headed to Changi Airport. Ate Macs then went to check-in, played some X-box 360, b4 departing for China. We took 6hrs of flight then transferried to another for 1hr b4 reaching the destination, Changsha(Zhang Jia Jie). It was my worst experience during a flight trip as i had a terrible motion sickness, so "merlion-ed" twice, each time after the plane touches down for the 2 flights. Met up with the tour group and our tourguide, then sat an hour's bus ride for dinner followed by the hotel. Our tourguide was a funny guy who wanted us to call him 小冬. He explained the schedule we were supposed to have very clearly and told us parts of China's history throughout the 3 days with him. But what i loved about him was his trademark laughter. He wld alwys go laughing " Herherherher", just listening to it wld just make u laugh too, hahs. Was freezing away when we arrived the place for dinner as i didnt brought my proper jacket, moreover i wasnt used to the sudden drop in temperature frm S'pore to China.

Day 2 : Had morning call at 6.30am, ate breakfast, went to look arnd at some scenic places with mountains. China ppl are so imaginative tt they were able to see shapes formed from the mountains, and it was difficult for sme of us unimaginative ppl, lol. Kept walking arnd n took sme jump shots. Still cldnt get use to the temp, but luckily my mum brought a sweater, so felt much better with it on. Tourguide "xiao dong" told us the history of Mao Zedong. Was engrossed in listening to the story, but my heavy eyelids n tired mind gave in, so drifted off to sleep at sme parts of the story. Played cards n watched part of the movie, "House of Wax" in the hotel room. It was kind of ironic since the ppl acting in the movie are Americans speaking Eng, but the words they spoke came out as Chi, even for one of the Negro actor, haha! Guess there was no choice since we were in China =) All of us were totally freaked out just by watching 30 mins of the show, aft tt dunno why they suddenly cut off the show, so went to sleep instead.

Day 3 : Cldnt rmb much abt this day but "xiao dong" told us the remaining history of Mao Zedong, followed by sitting a cable car ride and seeing more mountain scenries. Moreover, the last part of the day was the boarding of our cruise ship called Century Diamond. It has been a long time since i last sat on a cruise aft my last cruise voyage in Star Cruise Virgo which was 5yrs ago or longer.

Day 4 : Breakfast wasnt as grand as what Nik n I thought it wld be, the orange juice was syrupy diluted (worse than my BB parade syrup drink each parade), the iced tea was lyk iced water and the food were nt tt appealing. Still, managed to fill up our stomachs n we went for a walk arnd the whole cruise. Aft which we invited one teenager out of the 12 in our tour group to join us for our card game, as he looked abit lyk Perry, lyk Perry's clone, so being friendly, we invited him.

Day 5 : Went to visit the Three Gorges Dam in Dunhuang, then went bck to the cruise for lunch. Invited the rest of the teens in our tour group to join us in card games b4 playing murderer with cards. Went to the cruise's library n it is a wonder to just see 12 kids sitting down arnd a huge table, winking n catching one another in a game of murderer for 3-4 hrs. In the evening, the cpatain of the ship invited everybody in the ship for a cocktail party, followed by a 11 course dinner.

Day 6 : This was the day where i started to feel bored abt the whole trip as there was nth to do except wake up early, eat breakfast, disembark the ship for our tour excursions, board back the ship for lunch, then head to the library for card games session all the way till dinner, followed by card game session again aft dinner. It is worse than my normal day life, except this wld be relaxing instead. Which was why i made up my mind n headed to the ship's gym for sme workout with Nik, then tried to watch sme tv shows instead.

Day 7 : Usual routine of Days 4-6, except instead of playing cards, a few of us including me watched the HK drama, "The Gem Of Life", while others lazed arnd. The drama was nice, hooked to it, and we even wanted to skip dinner just to watch it. But b4 that, we went to Fengdu, a.k.a, Ghost Town as the town was covered in lots of fog, much less the town is v poor, where most things ar rundown, thats why the name. It is believed that all souls in the world wld cme here once they pass on, lyk a gate to the netherworld or Heaven.

Day 8 : Finally!, Last Day, so we disembark form the ship, headed down to a city called Chongqing, known as China's biggest and most populated city. There is barely wind in the city as it is surrounded by mountains, which keeps the freezing wind out. Went for shopping arnd the city, and it looked quite like Orchard Road at night with lots of shops. Went for steamboat dinner aft shopping( which i didnt bought anythng), before heading to the airport for our flight back to S'pore.

Well it smehow doesnt seem that fun reading from here, experiencing it was way much better! Enjoyed myself for this trip, as it was my 1st time making frens with ppl in a tour group, the tourgroup were nice n humourous, esp the adults. Despite the very bad uncleaniness of the toilets and habit of ppl spitting arnd, I managed to see a different point of view abt China nationals, as they were persistent ppl insisting on helping each other or us without the need of asking and would go an extra mile for just a small tiny matter. Oh, and one more thing....China babies are really cute =] , their parents wld make their child wear lots of winter clothings, making them look lyk stuffed teddy bears and just leave the backside of the child open to the freezy air, haaha. My guess is for easy access if the baby wants to do any business, lol. I saw one baby boy at the airport with 2 rosy red cheeks, so red that u thought smeone had actually pinched his chubby cheeks so hard that they had turned red.

Went to watch Twilight today with Nik, Perry, bro, and 3 other frens whom we made during the trip. The show was abit weird since the 2 main characters were lyk staring at each other almst throghout the whole movie, hahs. But overall it was nice. Shall try going to borrow the whole series frm ppl, nw that i understand why it is so nice, heh. Went to Marcus's hse, one of the 3 frens's hse, for dinner, followed by playing mahjong, where i learnt hw to play abit alrdy. Took a cab home aft tt. Alright, shall stop here for now, shall upload the pics some time later

Summer Hair = Forever Young - The Academy Is...

The song is quite nice, but the video is weird. Cant find the song itself thgh.

2008-12-04T01:15:00.003+08:00

Went to watch Madagascar 2 on last Wed with MC, Nick, Jianyi and his bro. It was quite funny, especially the penguins, they are hilarious n smart, and also not forgetting that King of Lemurs, haha. Ate at Seoul Garden aft tt, with Jerome, Clarence and Wanhao joining us and it was the best time i had at Seoul Garden as i managed to eat so much but was totally bloated. Walked out of Seoul Garden and saw Dawn Yeoh and Nat Ho. Dawn's hairstyle was totally weird lyk curly barbed wires, hah. Went home with our mini souveniers ( shirt smelling of barbequed meat), and WH began carrying out his usual duty of looking for MEGA, a.k.a, hot n pretty girls, lol. Continued with my roller blading lessons, managed to promote to level 2, so will be learning new things soon. Roller blading is fun, but my feet wld bcme very sore n pain halfway thrgh, almst lyk having feet cramps. Shld be learning till level 4 out of the 6 levels, where at level 4, i heard that they wld be teaching how to skate bckwards, so sounds interesting, haha.

Weekends was great. Headed to Vivo to look for new shoes for my father, but in the end it became me buying my sch shoe, so we left for Queensway Shopping Centre to look for his shoes. In the end he bought a nice, comfy leather shoe made from Germany. Went to buy sport shoes for bro and just as we were leaving for home, i spotted a boy holding a badminton racket. Then at tt point i suddenly remembered that i wanted to get a new racket as one of the old ones had broken into 2. Bought a $100+ Carbonex racket in the end as i had always longed for a Carbonex racket. Mum said the racket and sch shoe wld be my Christmas present, since i kept insisting on paying her back, lol. Went home n headed downstairs to Bishan ACTIVE to test the new racket out with my bro. Went cycking with childhood frens Nik, Perry n my bro on Mon. Cycled frm Bishan to Upper Peirce, ate at Casurina Curry, then planned to cycle to Kallang. But stopped at Potong Pasir instead as Kallang was still quite far, let alone the other 3 were quite tired, except for me, since cycling had been a fav to me, hahs. Anw we turned back and past by St Andrew's village. The sch is really rich since they joined up their primary, secondary and JC all together and the entrance of the school alrdy looked lyk some clubhouse or condo. Cycled all the way home and just slacked arnd. Plan to read my story books soon :]

Anw will be leaving for Zhong gok ( cantonese for China ) at 7am. Reaching airport at 5am. Heard it would be arnd 10 degrees there,whoo! haha. But 1st day wld be gone due to all the travelling, and that most of the 42 ppl in the group are retirees, so guess that they wld be quite "loud n talkative" thrghout the trip, hahah. Anw this would make the trip less boring, just that mayb alittle noisy at times. Alright, stop hereee for now.

2008-11-24T01:51:00.005+08:00

Finally...I have gotten some bit of 'my life' back, haha. Quit the telemarketing job with Mengchao n Jianyi on Fri. It was the best day of work since we were allowed to be released early, 7.45pm, instead of 9pm, hahs. Went to eat our usual place, n dear Mengchao kept feeling alittle reluctant to leave the place since we had been coming here evry day for a month alrdy =) I would have a small urge smetimes to talk to ppl lyk hw i talk to the customers when ppl call me, lol. Been feeling rather worn out these week too since i have been waking up early for PD trainings n partly blaming myself for staying up late to watch Korean show. Anw the website for the show has sme probs, so wont be able to watch it for smetime. Celebrated Jonathan Lee's n Bryan Ng's belated bdays on Tues with Kelvin n Wilson at Seoul Garden. Was much fun eating with them..kept eating non-stop, but thankfully i didnt have a stomach upset aft the meal, unlyk the past, hahs..just felt quite bloated up. Went to Dhouby Ghaut to play LAN with sme 4Exp ppl aft eating, then went off.

Oh, and my dad began these weird habit nowadays to wash his car very early evry morning so as to keep the new car spick n span. This is my first time seeing him take care of a car so well, even better than his past cars, haha. Anw, will be going out with Mengchao n the rest on Wed to watch Madagascar 2 plus Seoul Garden lunch! Argh, i am so going to put on since i wld be eating Seoul Garden twice in a span of 2 weeks. This week's going to be really rushing, last PD training on Mon, tuition, then staying overnight in sch on Thurs n off to Thailand on Fri. Maybe if the whole coy was able to go for the trip, then i might be more excited, but 50 of us going wld also be fine, just tt it wld be alittle boring. Heard tt the school has a year-end trip to Europe, France n England. It is totally unbelievable, these 2 places ar nice, but then agn, the price for the trip is 3-4k+ , moreover, adding the pocket money to spend, it wld cost a whale. Subsidies ar given, but i tink it is alittle unfair to those slightly better off ones as they wld have to pay more. Anw it wld be great to visit these 2 places since i have nvr been to Europe before.

Would be stopping here, got to do a sch project for Mr See, and it is alrdy overdued! Oh, and do try to watch Bobby Lee in action on youtube. Just type n search "Bobby Lee" n watch his videos. They wld bound to put a good laugh to ur boringness =)

Cute eh? =)

There is actually a bee on the flower n i took it =)

Quite awhile since posting here.. mayb i shall do it nw, hahs. Its been pretty boring cause of the daily routine, eat, sleep, play, work. Sleeping late n waking up late isnt good, guess i shld hav heeded my parent's advice..since i am so tired nwadays. Been playing Dota with the rest all the time when we ar online, evry night aft work. Nw so happen, i am beginning to feel Dota is kind of boring, lol. Went to Malaysia for a 1 day tour at Desaru Fruit Farm, Johor Bahru. Learnt a few things, but i was mainly sleeping thrghout the bus journey frm place to place..was dead tired. Took some pics of flowers tt i thght were nice n have not seen any of its kind here in S'pore. Working as a telemarketeer in Great Eastern has been quite alright, boring job, but requires the confidence n the ability to convince people in order to do a good job. I think it is a really tough job for working adults as they have to hit a requirement of 30 appoinments per month to get commission, in which they must have an aim to get 5 appoinments in a day. I myself alrdy have difficulty to even make 1 appoinment in one week, lol. So far i have made 5 appoinments in a span of 2 weeks, which isnt exactly good. Another bad point is that ppl would tend to offend you when you speak to them, some spouting vulgarities, others shouting, scolding you, slamming the phone down once they hear "Calling frm Great Eastern". Planning to quit the job with Jianyi n Mengchao nxt week to enjoy our remaining hols and to change our boring, no-life, daily routine =]

Well, my father got a new car last week, Toyota Camry. Nice car, with GPS system, n smooth driving, but high in petrol consumption, hahs. Going to Thailand with BB for the company's annual anniversary, where the company wld celebrate its anniversary in Thailand with the companies there during evry 5 yrs. Having PD trainings nwadays since we wld be performing during the trip, so I have been called in to join in the performance since i wld be going. Sadly, i would be missing the 28th Nov school concert, since the we would leave for Thailand early in the morning on the day itself. Guess i wld nt be able to see Mrs Tan for the last time aft all. She has been a great principal, one who is alwys optimistic n full of life to lead the sch. Going to miss evrything abt her. Anw, wld be coming bck on 3rd Dec frm Thailand, aft which, i wld be flying off again on the 5th to China with family. Sound lyk an important businessman flying here n there to meet clients, hahas. How time passes by so very quickly, it is alrdy nw Nov n there are still lots of things i have yet to be done. Really wish time would slow n wait for us during this times, heh. I do not know why..i am just starting to feel freakish for 'N' results, i smehw have the confidence to do quite fine, but furthur ponding over it gives me the creeps of nt doing well. Shall not brood over it...doesnt help me too if i worry abt it too much.

Have been hearing n seeing many ppl reading the book Twilight. Is it really tt nice...lol. All i noe abt the story is abt a vampire n a human girl, then they can drag the story till 4 volumes of storybk, haha. Mayb i shall go borrow it n see hw it goes. Meanwhile, i think i shld start to go bck to my reading habits, kind of missed reading long storybks, haha.

2008-10-20T13:41:00.007+08:00

The moon is on the top right, its reflection on the water, bottom right

That was the highest altitude

Played Dota with the rest frm Mon onwards aft downloading the game, much thanks to Mengchao for using remote asistance to help me. On Wed, i went to the National Musuem n The Flyer with the National Education(NE) students, plus the foreign students. Met in sch, then left for the musuem 1st. Gt our tickets n we began walking thrgh the place. It was kind of okay, quite boring, nt as wat i expected, as there were quite little things abt history of S'pore, just pics n stuff of the olden days. Spent 3 hrs there, aft which we headed to Plaza Singapura for dinner. We took a bus to The Flyer when we were done, n started taking pics since our ride starts at 8pm n we were alrdy there at 7pm. Time passed quite slowly, n finally we began making our way to The Flyer. Splitted ourselves into 2 grps, then we began the slow journey up. N the obvious thng when we were getting higher up is to.....Take Pics! haha. Began taking, but bcos it was nighttime alrdy n the sky was dark, so cldnt see much..the pics we took were also very dark. Even if we put on flash, there were quite alot of reflection.

The interesting thng was tt they put up a small model layout of the upcoming IR at the roof of the Flyer bulding, so when the Flyer itself is abt to reach the bottom, u can actually see the model. It was time to go home aft tt, so took the sch bus bck then headed hme. Went for roller-blading lessons on Thurs. It was fun, thght i wld fall arnd 10 times, lyk last time when i learn. But i only fell 3 times. The rest is almst fall, but managed to balanced, hah. Still alittle unstable even aft 1hr, but shld be able to get the hang of it for the nxt lessons ( I hope,haha). Erm..forgot wat i did on Fri alrdy, lol. Shall skip to Sat. Sat was WanHao's bday!! So we played soccer in the morning, then went for lunch followed by home. Met out again at 7pm n headed to Cathay, Billy Bombers, for dinner. Took a gd 1 hr plus b4 we cld sit inside. The food in the menu wasnt tt appealing to me...but still gt to order smth, so i tried out one of their burgers, the "All Star Burger". It was nt bad, but i had to use fork n knife to eat it cos it was too big, haha. Our total bill for the whole meal was a "nice digit" of $200 plus. Slacked arnd aft tt, wanted to play LAN, but it was quite late alrdy, so went home in the end. Okay, thats all, going to stop here.

2008-10-13T01:04:00.003+08:00

Its been a long time since the last post! It has been great during this period..'N's is finally over, but I still keep feeling I cld have done much more to increase the grade in the papers.. Anw its over, so no point regreting, but to look foward for the results. Headed for chalet at Pasir Ris bungalow (many thanks to Mengchao n mum for booking=] ) aft last paper on Wed. Met with JY,WH, Nick, Victor n Norman on the bus to Pasir Ris interchange n took another bus to the bungalow. Was soo excited when we got there, adding on tt we were the first few, so we enjoyed ourselves n booked the rooms. Watched tv n played cards b4 the others came, n we played PS2. Played till there was only me, JY,WH,Nick..coincidentally we were all frm the same bunk! haha. So we played the PS2 till 7am the nxt day,lol. Slept till 11 plus, n sme guys cooked yummy butter rice with hotdogs to eat, aft tt it was PS2 time. Just played card games n PS2 the whole day..which was rather boring. Slept earlier this time, 3am, lols, cos my mind was super giddy n tired. Went up to the bunk n me, WH, JY, went to disturb Nick in his sleep. Kept doing funny thngs to him, where the 3 of us took turns to be camera-man, light-switcher, disturber, hahs. Woke up at 1pm the nxt day, n the usual..tv n PS2 came abt.. aft tt was preparation for barbecue n Gary's bday celebration. It was my first time helping out in quite a no. of thngs in a barbecue, and Shiling's buttered-honey chicken wings were the favourite food among the rest =) Was still alittle hungry, so left with WH,Nick,Victor,MC to the nearby coffee shop for zhi char. Was yummy n affordable, and we walked arnd the area b4 coming across with a LAN shop. Checked out the timing, and came out again with 5 more others later in the night to play DOTA n CS, hahs. Stopped at 4am plus aft 3 hrs n walked bck to the bungalow. Had a mini-running race along the way, and we ran along the road lyk mad, hyperactive kids, haaha. Took a bathe when we reached n had PS2 soccer tourament. Played till sian, then played card games followed by watching tv. We were doing this cos we made a challenge to stay up the whole night since it was the last day of chalet. Managed to 'survive' the challenge, but drop dead on the comfy bed when i went up to the room. Slept awhile b4, borrowing sme bikes n cycling arnd Pasir Ris Park. It was nice..the cool morning breeze gently pounding on the face as we cycle, n adding on the beautiful sunrise..but had no camera to take it down. Headed bck n started packing. Heated argument over the tenant n us happened when we were abt to leave, n WH saved the day! (dun want to elaborate more) We left for Mac's, ate, then headed home. Felt as thgh i ate a bottle of sleeping pills, n slept for a long time in the bus journey. Slept for another 5 hrs when at home.

Today was fine..headed to Yishun with family with an intention to buy a new ceiling fan, but the shop was closed. Went for lunch at a nearby coffee shop, n tried out the Botak-Jones stall there. The meal was nice n tasty. Shld try it one day if u can! But must fill up wallet first ;) Headed home n went out with JY, WH, Nick, Victor, MC, Clarence, to play LAN at AMK. Played 3 games of DOTA, n I lost all 3 games!, lol. Nvrtheless..I had fun, n really enjoyed it. Many ar planning to work during hols, so nw i am pondering if i shld find one too.. Mayb helping my grandma might be great..see hw it goes =)

2008-09-25T15:01:00.004+08:00

Everything happened in a flash during Mon till Wed. Mon n Tues was normal timetable, thgh more papers were given for us to do. Ystdy was Graduation Service, was really funny, quite enjoyed myself =) Jianyi led the 2 songs for worship with Abigail, n I think they did sang well, hahs. Had to go up n give the dedications to the teachers with Loretta, since ZhenQuan PONNED! But actually I volunteered myself..nt sure why too..Loretta just asked me if i wanted to replace ZQ, then i said yes without any hesitation, lols. Anw it went quite well, I stammered alittle cos alittle frighten, but managed to calm down abit. Ours was the shortest speech among the other classes, haha. Mr Ng gave me n Loretta the " I am so touched" look aft the speech, and we just smiled away =)

Had our Sec 1 photos being shown thrgh powerpoint tt was done by Mdm Loo. Really funny to see evryone's cute pics, heheh. Prize presentation and Principal's speech were up next. Followed by a wooden dragonfly balance gift frm the principal, and the giving out of report bk. Academic results were nt good, but got 150 hrs for CIP, hah. We were told tt we were invited to join the Grad Night on 14 Nov, it costs $25, and I heard there wld be lucky draws! I dont intend to go..its a little ex.. but the food wld be western cuisine, and I wld be able to bid the 4 Exp farewell...Cant seem to make up my mind. See how it goes. Had a mini tea reception aft the service, then we took a long time to decide on what/where we want to do/go. Decided to head for a movie in the end. Went with Jianyi to his house since i misunderstood what was happening. The rest went to AMK hub for lunch. Played Gunbound at JY's hse for awhile, and the game was quite fun. Shall download it aft "N"s =] Left his house n met up with Jer, Clarence, WH, CL, Melody, while JY went to meet up with Grace n Victor for their lunch. The 6 of us then headed to Dhouby Ghuat Cathay n bought tickets for Babylon A.D instead of Mamma Mia, cos it starts earlier. The 4 of us went to a bookstore n read sme books, while the 2 girls walked arnd since the movie starts only an hour later.

Met up at the Adidas shop, went to Starbucks to get Clarence's latte, then headed to the cinema. Clarence bought 3 couple seats..so in the end, Clarence-WH, CL-Melody, Me-Jerome. Clarence kept saying among 6 six of us were 2 pairs of couples..shall nt elaborate more =) The show wasnt nice, it was messy, slightly no-link, and a little short. The nice thing was just the futuristic cars. Walked arnd Plaza S'pura aft the show, looked at fishes, handphones, then Melody had tuition, so she needed to leave. Followed her since I was hungry n tired, while the rest went to Orchard to get Jer n WH's new sch shoes.

Well, left 4 more days..4 more. Lasting for 2 weeks, and it wld be over. Going to really work very hard, thgh feeling alittle shaken up by the short period of time to prepare.

2008-09-21T21:54:00.006+08:00

This week has got to be the most memorable n funniest moment in my secondary sch life, or shld I say whole life, hahs. The Sumpa bros n Jiebai Bros played silly games, n wrestling in the AVA room, and got almst evryone in the class watching them, haha. It was really funny seeing push each other arnd, lyk wild monkeys fighting over a fruit,lols! Nt trying to be sadist, but got to watch the videos then you will understand, heheh. Saw the largest rainbow I had ever seen in my whole life during one of the assembly this week. It was so huge n long, a full rainbow, stretching frm one end to another end. Jianyi suggested that we head towards the where the rainbow ends, as there wld be a pot of gold waiting for us, lols. Anw had the usual mock tests, and I was really glad with my Physics mock test results =) Could have gotten an A2 with just 1 mark less or mayb even higher, but it has been a good improvement if compared to my other Physics tests. Shall work even harder frm nw on with just a week left, and it wld slack time aft everythng's over.

3 more days, and it wld Graduation Service, the "hot topic" which evryone is talking abt nwadays. Dunno whether to feel happy or sad on tat day, but watever it is, the "actual" Grad Service wld be waiting for us nxt yr, and that itself wld be the one I am looking foward to =] Going to miss the 4 Express accompany when they graduate in a week's time, however it is a fact that evryone gt to face..so good luck in their nxt journey of studies,haha. Oh, and ystdy evening I played badminton with my mum again, this time with my dad n bro tagging along. My bro n I won them, and played with 2 other boys, since parents wanted to go home. Won those 2 boys too, just losing a few sets to them. Looking foward to playing badminton evry weekend aft exams ar over, heh.
