Natasha and Tai, enjoying breakfast. =) Life has really been busy and taken a toll on me. Firstly, my Grandpa has been in hospital for a month plus and his condition hasn't gotten any better. In fact, he's been diagnogsed with cancer I think. I still remembered that night I accompanied my family to send him to hospital. Unfortuantely, that day that I can accompany him out of the hospital back to home has not arrived. I can only pray for that day. Seeing him in such a state just pains me alot. Being bedridden and having to undergo a couple of surgeries, and fixed with so many different tubes and stuffs is not something that people want. And when he has to suffer this at this age, I could feel his agony too. Sometimes when I visit him, it is a very poignant moment. I can do nothing to help him to improve his condition. What I can do though, is to show him that I still care and love for him. Afterall, without him, there's no me too. Whatever is it, I just pray that he would not suffer so much. I hope I can keep up the pace in school. Starting from next week, I have to conduct trials for Nobel house for the track and field meet every Wednesday and Friday. Finally no more slacking already. Other than that, I think school's pretty fine. I just watched Pirates 2 today and its a pretty good film. Funny and great computer effects. Johnny Deep is still as funny =) but I dont think Keira Knightly was good. Haha. Guys getting cosy while watching movie. Luckily there's always this special someone in your life who keeps you going on. If not, I wonder how would it be. And I don't ever want to think about it. Down the road...

PJC Cake! Jia Quan... Andre... Shu Mei... All at Wai Mun's house. In life, we often have to adapt to many changes. This week, I had to adapt to many change in school. Going back to school is a love-hate affair. I hate to wake up in the wee hours in the morning. I hate to run to the school gate to avoid being late. I hate school food. Bla blah blah. What may seems a paradox that is, I am accustomed to school life already. Without school, I will be at loss on what to do for the next day. Soccer? Movie? Going out? Deciding all these is painstaking enough. Going to school then can I keep myself occupied with all those mindless mugging and crapping with Andre, JiaQuan and WaiMun. The feeling with 06A02 was quite different. It felt as if we had lost a soul. Yes, that is Chen Xing. There is now 1 less person to talk to, no model homework to refer to, no 6 pointer to brag of. Although his departure is of course a wise decision in my opinion, I'm still coming to terms with having of the best buddies in class gone. With just 19 people, I bet our class is the smallest in the college. I hope this ACM can keep the class going. The next changes I had to adapt to were the teachers. Having schooled for almost 10 years, teachers are always an integral part of my life. Probably having the best and favourite teacher of mine, Mr Eddie Koh, gone is a big blow to me. I always looked forward to his lessons. Of course, my love of GP haven't died. I'm looking forward to excel under the tutelage of Mr Lim. Next, we had a double switch of Maths teachers. Mdm Angelina Lim taught us for two days. And we're very impressed with her. All of us were motivated to study hard for maths, even Andre. Of course her sudden departure is a pity. Well, the faster and quicker you do it, the less pain you will suffer. I've learnt it well enough. The last change was Chemistry. To be frank, I haven't been looking forward to Chemistry tutorials. Maybe the warm classroom is to be blamed. And I always doze off... Perhaps having a male teacher will buck me up for tutorials. My mindset has also changed. Perhaps I've just attended college not long and thus tend to slack. Well of course, with disatrous Mid-Year results, I have to be awaken from my dreams. Of course, I have always not live to my expectations. I admit for the past 3,4 years I havent been putting in enough effort in studies. Perhaps I am matured enough to study hard now. Not having many CCA committments also helped it. I should make the best of this advantage. Now, I really live to mug. Changes also make you see different perpectives of life. I think I learnt different things from all these changes. I hope God would always continue guide me and open new perpectives to my life. Sometimes, all these problems and troubles that plague me are simply too much for me to handle. Of course, I will pull through it so that I can remember these memories fondly of my teenage years.

Mr Koh and his cute little nephew. =) Mr Koh's now in Melbourne in his new apartment. I hope he can live comfortably in that place for the next year or so. This really sums up the morning for me. Out of all players, my hero Zidane had to headbutt Matterazzi to get himself to be sent off. Wearing a Zidane Jersey watching soccer with Wai Mun, Andre, Jia Quan and Shu Mei, I had not choice but to change my jersey off before going to school. =( Nonetheless, he's one of the best players we've ever seen. The results for mid-years were kinda expected. Flunked Maths and were off form for my Chinese Essay. The only good point was that I did quite okay for my South East Asian History Essay. I just hope this will be a wake up call for me. Seriously I dont want to retain and if I do, I would be at loss on what to do next. I guess having so little sleep didnt help me at all. I just hope I'll get over it as soon as possible.

This time, I have really lost my sanity. I hope I can find the strength to be myself again. But I know it will be hard. Plus the loss of losing a great friend in Chen Xing and a great teacher in Mr Eddie Koh, it hurts so much. ** I just wanna turn back time.

I'm like so stressed out these few days. Class stuffs, House Exco, World Cup and *ahem*. Haha. It's great to know people are reading what I'm blogging. I used to be so unconfident of myself. Well, I hope I can reignite my passion for blogging. If you see that I have dark eye rings, its because of watching late World Cup matches. As a result, sometimes I maybe cranky and also slow to respond to you. I'm feeling the hangover as I type this now. Haha. I'm quite happy that France made it. I just hope they'll go all the way to beat Italy in the final. =) The fun fair on the arts day is just like 2 days later and we've yet to prepare anything. We're so screwed. Wahaha. So we have just tomorrow morning to prepare the game stall. Die le. Moreover the investiture is going to take up much of my time for these few days too. Plus the project work stuffs, its driving me crazy. Those time which I've wasted in slacking now seems so precious. I just like ran out of ideas to blog. I'll continue next time. Haha. ** love is the best medicine. =)

FINALLY I'm blogging again. Last last week I didnt have the sanity to blog. I shan't tell you why. Last week I was too busy to blog, due to the mid-years and of course, WORLD CUP. Alright let's start with last week. I was disillusioned again for my exams, including this one. Basically all did not went right and I'm prepared to accept the consequences that follows. The only paper that I was confident after it was History, which I hope will be still my best and favourite subject. No doubt this is a awakening call to me. I know I'm not that smart or whatsover, but if i put in enough effort, I'm sure I can do well. Well, easier said than done to most of us. I WILL work hard for my promos cause I don't want to retain and waste away one year of my life. Haha. I've taken up the habit of renting DVDs now. Since last week, I've watched Real Madrid's movie, Pirates of the Carribean 1 and just yesterday, The Interpreter. I think Nicole Kidman is one hell of an actress. She's certainly attractive, more of the intellectual aspect though. I can't wait to catch Keira Knightly in Dead Man's Chest too. Haha. And finally I'm picking up the Guitar. It's just of the few things I've been dying to learn. How I wish I had the chance to learn them when I was younger. Nevermind, I'm still young though. =) My other dreams are to learn the drums and piano. Yah, can wait long long. Lol. I'm just obsessed with my beloved Guitar now. And you know... England is OUT. 40 years of waiting, and still have to wait again. I'm utterly disappointed. All ruined by one guy, ROONEY. The Messiah became the Villian. I dont wish to put too much blame on him but he was really stupid. Lampard, Gerrard and Carragher too, who missed the penalties. Frank Lampard, who did so well for Chelsea lately, can't even score a goal even from the penalty spot. Gerrard too, Champions League winner and scorer of spectacular goals, too failed. Maybe it's destined. It pains to see the smug on Cristiano's face. I certainly hate him now. Please sell him Man Utd. For now I'm behind the Germans, who impressed me throughout the tournament. Maybe I'll have a soft spot for France, for I own a no. 10 Zidane replica shirt. I bought that shirt when Zidane scored 2 goals against England in Euro 2004. I'm sure this shirt will mean alot now, for Zidane is a true French master. ** I'm glad things are back to normal, if not better. ))
