-time for a change

2006-07-23T00:15:00.000+08:00

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...

Changes

2006-07-14T22:22:00.000+08:00

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.

2006-07-10T21:38:00.000+08:00

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.

2006-07-09T13:21:00.000+08:00

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.

2006-07-06T22:44:00.000+08:00

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. =)

2006-07-03T11:37:00.000+08:00

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. ))

2006-06-13T13:59:00.000+08:00

I'm supposed to post about my fantastic OBS course which happened during the last week but sadly i'm too sad to do it. A tragedy stuck. 5 days of memories stored in a memory card seems to be gone when the memory card died on me. I'm trying my very best to save them, but sadly, it seems futile. It just pains me that the fact I lost the memories of my watch, Barker, 16 of us in total. Argghhhh....

World Cup fever struck me too- for real! I guess I must have eaten too much junk food the day I came back after the OBS. Watching Football Matches while consuming unhealthy food is sure detrimental to your health. It made me so lethargic while studying in school yesterday and even today. Moreover, my evil cousin tried to steal my handphone out of revenge because i couldn't take her out as i was sick. This morning could have been a disater if I have not realised in time.

I'm seriously running out of time for the mid-years exams. Yesterday was totally unproductive for me. With just less than 2 weeks of time left, I had to savour every single minute. Right now I just feel naseaus and drowsy now and then. I need to muster every singlet strength to memorise Econs. How I wish this would end quickly. Wait- we still have the promos... Haha.

2006-06-06T05:43:00.000+08:00

I'm blogging at 5.45am on the morning before I leave for OBS... Haha... Maybe I'm just too excited about it... Its been a loooooong time since I have managed to wake up earlier than my alarm =)

Its been quite some time since I went for a camp since mount ophir in november 2004(If you considered that one) and that's the reason why I'm probably much excited... I reckon these 5 days will pass by so quickly and I'll be blogging about it and posting photos in no time! Meanwhile, I will like to pray to God for safety and hopefully I'll come back in one piece. Likewise for my camera! I can vividly remember the distrastrous moment when I slipped into the stream with my camera then. Damn. If all goes well hopefully I'll take lots of photos for memories! In this way I can save time trying to recall the days!

Besides the fun, this course will be a very good experience. Of course I will probably come back a changed man- but on the positive please! Thank God I will not be missing England's opening match on 10/6 this Saturday against Paraguay! I have NO doubts England will whallop those Paraguayans' asses. Haha. IF England really wins I'm so gonna buy a England jersey. Red or White?. That's quite of a dilemma. Nevermind I'll decide when I get to Queensway Shopping Centre first. Haix I regret supporting France instead during Euro 2004 and even going against England! This time I will be a fully Three Lions supporter =)

Good luck to the rest for your leadership course and preparation for Mid-Year. Cya =)

2006-06-03T16:37:00.000+08:00

Finally a breather to the first and boring week of Holidays... Our class went to Mr Eddie Koh's Chalet at Aloha Loyang and we had a great time =)

Thank God I managed to organised this outing fairly well. We watched X-Men 3 together at Tampines Mall before going to the chalet. Hehs my virgin attempt at marinating chicken wings turned out to be not bad huh.. Haha.

Mopping the floor

Enjoying the BBQ

Having fun =)

Playing ball

Just prepared the stuffs for the OBS camp... Its only 3 days away.. I'm so excited =)

2006-05-28T21:43:00.000+08:00

Holidays means I have all the time in the world to blog... =)

My Baby Cousin, one day old.

The same girl, 8 months old and rampaging the house!

I happened to be behind having dinner =P Cause I didnt had any on College Day!

Church was fun today!!

Ryan and Eric (Doesnt seemed too well ya?)

The worship team...

Rocking away! (Hence this photo...)

The youth ministry =)

That t-shirt...

Cathay revolution, at Causeway Point...

I watched Over The Hedge with Jian De who left for China just as I'm typing out this. All I can say its one top notch animation, no Chicken Little or Madagascar!!! Its really very hilarious and very enjoyable. However my all time favourites have to be Shrek or Finding Nemo...

2006-05-28T21:34:00.000+08:00

It’s the holidays again! How fast 10 weeks has past… I can still vividly rem the last hols during march… However there’s always a bittersweet affair when it comes to hols. Today, I just felt at a loss wondering what to do… Yeah tts the prob, when you have so much time when you cant decide exactly what to do.. But finally getting enough sleep was shiok.. hehs.. Not sleeping well for so long was toturing.. After all, we’ve went thro 10 years of schooling already.. Lol

Had GP exam yesterday… Hmm I think I did fairly okay.. I still problem generating out enough ideas for the essay.. Nvm, I have only written 2 GP essays and that was my third… Practice makes perfect =) Compre on the other hand, was more manageable. Finished everything comfortably within the time limit. After all, GP has been my favourite subject, thanks to Mr Eddie Koh. Its such a pity he’s leaving. Even though that means I’ve lost a good GP tutor for the rest of this year, I have in turn made a friend in him. This is one thing I will treasure for good. Liking the teacher teaching the subject do helps. I aced my history when Mr Kamal taught me. To like Mr Victor Koh now? Sure thing! HAHA.

After the paper I went for OBS briefing. I’m quite excited about OBS, which will take away 5 days of the june hols. Ever since going for the Mt. Ophir in 2004, I have never go for another camp. Hmm am quite lucky that I can catch England’s first game on 10th June on the day I returns. However, thinking of scaling the high elements and jumping into the sea from the jetty just frightens me abit. I remembered I was too scared to try the high elements during Camp Feast in sec 2 that everyone had to coax me. I’m sure there’s no need for coaxing this time round. =)

Went to Kbox for de-stressing with Jiaquan, Germaine, Dorea, Yuqing (The usual kbox peeps except for andre)… Sang like mad but had alot of fun those crazy ppl.. Haha.

Today’s college day in PJC. I had to go to sch to help in ushering. Generally we did nth much except for standing around. However we got to wear blazers but it was damn warm in it… hehs. The Student Centre (called The Sanctuary) is finally opened. There’s aircon in there and you get to play board games too. And there’s a pool table beside it. Finally some things we can do during break times. However we didn’t manage to watch the ceremony… I was hoping to listen to Aziz’s valedictory speech.

The new student centre... No shoes allowed!

Mr Patrick Tong trying out the new pool table...

After the ceremony...

Grandpa had a fall and fractured a couple of his bones. I’m now in A&E typing out this entry. He has to undergo operation too. Haix. This year wasn’t a good one for him. He has been reduced to bones and frail, unlike last time. To think of it, no wonder people say they rather not live until so old. When you’re old, illnesses come to you and you have to suffer. Seeing him in such state pains me alot… I will keep praying for his health. =)

Tired

2006-05-21T12:48:00.000+08:00

My mind is tired from all those studying and homeworks...

My heart is confused from all those naiveness and stupidity...

My left arm is hurting from that stupid injection...

I dunno why. Sometimes I just feel so frustrated inside. Perhaps I shouldn’t be doing this in the first place. Why did I?? I couldn’t help it. I didn’t asked for it. Its affecting me so much for so long. Perhaps I shouldn’t think, yes I will not.

Thank God I will be going for OBS after getting a scare earlier on. It’s gonna eat up the 2nd week of hols. Haix. But the positive thing is that I will not miss England’s first match on 10th June- the day I returns. =)

There’s quite a few tests for us next week, and for this particular reason I had to stay at home to mug. Maths’ graphing techniques gave me abit of trouble but Maclaurin’s Series is gonna kill me for sure.

South East Asian History and Economics still awaits me today… But I accept my ill-fated life as a JC student… Haha.

2006-05-17T21:16:00.000+08:00

Oh YES PJ Rugby won the Plate Finals!!!!! For a new school like us, such moments are of great importance to us. I just feel so proud of the team. JJC has been around for quite some time I think, and we PJ has been the new kid on the block- just 5 years. Moreover Rugby was nearly closed down- this win has really brought us to greater heights. I'm eager to see the Trophy being handed to the principal tmr. =)

I was part of the crowd who cheered PJ on. It was real tense in the 1st half, JJ played better than us and we had no breakthroughs. Soon, they scored a penalty and earned 3 points. The crowd looked worried. Nevertheless we gave the team very bit of support. It pays off as they team responded by scoring a penalty too- equalising the score. However, more it yet to come. JJ attacked us bravely and finally scored a try. The scorer was able to run freely into the area. I could see the worrying faces already. Just to think we beat them comfortably 2 weeks ago it was unthinkable. The score is now 3-10. I prayed that the team would score and stage a comeback.
There comes moment of the 1st half, a swift counter attack by the PJ team created havoc. We were practically laying a seige on JJ. The JJ team defended with all their hearts too. The battle was tense and was to go on for 5 mins, leaving everyone on tenderhooks. Fortunately the ref kept giving us the ball. Finally we penetrated the stubborn defence and scored a try! Rahmat converted the kick to make it level! Half time and finally a breather for us. Meanwhile the SC ppl were stepping up efforts to cheer for the team.

PJ vs JJ

The 2nd half was a revelation. The half time pep talk appeared to have worked wonders. The PJ ruggers were rejuvanated. They torn JJ apart and scored a try. Finally we were leading! What came most unexpected is that they punished JJ in a most cruel fashion by scoring a successive try! PJ had turned the tide! The match was assumed to be won, although JJ threatened with some late attacks. Final score PJ 29-15 JJ. A defining moment indeed.

The 6th SC was intrumental in leading the cheers. Kudos to them!

We didnt managed to see Andre and Gang lifting the trophy but nvm. We had witnessed them in action =P. I stayed on to watch the Cup Final between the Rugby Powerhouses, RJ and SA and sure it was worth it. As I witnessed a historical moment. SAJC is the epitome of a true passionate JC. Although our cheers were commendable, SAJC showed us what is real cheering about. I estimate that their contingent triple that of ours, all clad in the trademark SA blue and white uniform. In unison, they roared their team on fervently and passionately. The RJ camp was abit disappointing compared to SA's, but nonetheless they are as passionate by building 3 gigantic banners just for the game. This is definitely TRUE passion.

The Pre-Match Ritual between RJ and SA.

The 2 teams was evenly matched and were equally threatening. SA was to score 3 points and RJ scored 5 points back. In the 2nd half RJ scored again and increased the lead to 7 points. The SA camp seemed to be in shock. But the SA ruggers never gave up. They continue to attack RJ and finally they equalised in equally dramatic fashion. 10-10! It was getting very interesting. The stakes was high now. Perhaps it is now a trend to be comeback kings and win the game. SA perserved until the end and scored a try at the last moment! The final whistle was blowed immediately. Pandemonium in the SA crowd!!! Practically the whole SA contingent rushed to the field!! What a moment... Seriously I will NOT forget the scene...

Go SAJC go!

Besides having nice uniforms, they have the best rugby team too.

Ohhh My God PJ is featured in today's The Newpaper as a cover story!!! I would rather not comment on it. I wonder if I will wake up in time to catch the Champions League Final... cYaX

2006-05-13T01:57:00.000+08:00

I love long weekends, you get to sleep late, study, play- basically doing anything you want. However, I have been able to spend the last one properly because there was a class outing to the zoo and kbox after that. Today I'm glad I was able to spend much of the time doing the things I wanted.

It is easy to get distracted in life and this certainly applies in jc life. Lately of since, I have been losing motivation to study. I guess the strains and stress of jc life are the main culprits. I wish I have the same self discipline as my 6 pointer friends, chen xing and eric sor. Of course, its easier said than done. You can never imagine how much effort and time they'd put in to achieve that result. From one of Coldplay's lyrics "Nobody said it was easy..." Like I've mentioned in one of my earlier post, am I doubtful of my decision to join a JC? I met Jiawei for soccer today and he mentioned to me how intriguing and fun is Mass Comm- with all the relaxed hours and fun lecturers. To think of it, I was so close to joining Mass Comm. Everytime people associate JC education as 1 who is stressful, tiring and draining- where students just mug and mug. Yes it true to a large extent. In JC you go home very late and yet have a pile of homework to finish, a series of tests to mug. It just drives everyone nuts. However, I rather believe it brings out the best out of students. To be honest it takes much mental strength not to watch tv or play computer games at night just to study. Well, this applies to the working world too. After a hard day of work, you still have to finish assignments at home. Perhaps I'm just consoling myself... Haha.

Didn't manage to post this up because I was chatting to Mr Eddie Koh on Msn on 2am+ and that I was simply too too too tired. One thing JC students are seriously deprived of is SLEEP. That's why you find most of us dozing off in lectures and tutorials. +) The only tutorial I fall asleep in is Chemistry, I want to know why too. Everytime get caught by her. Haha.

Back to the long weekend, I simply love it. Sometimes I rather stay at home for the whole day- which is what I've done today (Saturday). Normally, you have so much distractions that you cant find time to do some things you've have always wanted to do. Today I explored iTunes and listened to many different podcasts, guess I'm hooked on it already. The music store is very impressive, offering downloads of music tracks and videos too. Damn, I just wished I can own a credit card. Then I can spend my money away on eBay and all those crap. Haha.

Economics is really a killer, but I enjoy it though. =) I spent the whole afternoon on the wages exercise, really blew my mind. It just takes time to understand to understand and to apply.

There is a "Persistently Non-Political Podcast" by Mr Brown in Singapore. It talks about how a certain Bak Chor Mee(Minced Pork Noodles) man refuses to accept Jeff Lopez's apology and demand that he explain why he said he didnt ordered Tur Kwa(Pork Liver) when he actually did. (CCTV of the stall proved it). Go to www.mrbrown.com to enjoy.

Meanwhile I've found this hilarious pic.

I feel sad for him... Here's another one.

After their dismal performance in the recent elections, the Singapore
Democratic Party consoled their leader, Dr. Chee Soon Juan, by baking a cake
specially named for him.

“The ‘Chee Cake’ is a confection that’s deeply symbolic,” said SDP spokesman
Koh Soo Leow. “For one thing, it’s full of half-baked ingredients.”The Chee
Cake also features a special photograph of the SDP’s Central Executive Committee.

According to Mr. Koh, “Despite the ditch he’s driven us into, we
want to show him that we’re still behind him. Hence the cake features a
photo of all our behinds.”

Mr. Koh also denied that NSP candidate Steve Chia is one of those posing in
the photo.Instead of the Chee Cake, the SDP had also considered serving humble pie, but
Dr. Chee refused to eat it. -Talkingcock.com

All I can say is that the people at talkingcock.com are sure a fun lot. Haha.

I'm watching the FA Cup Final 2006 between Liverpool and West Ham.

Liv 0-2 West Ham

Liv 1-2 West Ham

Liv 2-2 West Ham

Liv 2-3 West Ham

What a match, the clock is at 65mins now, what will be the final score? Seriously I dunno... Haha.

*Updated*

Liv 3-3 West Ham

Steven Gerrard scored a 30 yard to equalise!

Liv won 4-2 on Penalties, Reina saving 3.

The last one he saved Anton Ferdinand and that lad literally broke down after that. What a poignant moment. However I admire West Ham for their fighting spirit. =)

Ruud Van Nistelrooy. This man scored 150 goals for Man United since 2001 and is one of my favourite players there. Sadly he poised to leave Man United after this season. He will always remain of Man Utd's legend. Wish him luck wherever he may goes.

Our rugby boys has reach the plate finals!! =) It's on next wednesday and I can go support them =). Hopefully I will be taking photos of Andre and Terry posing with the Trophy.

"Lion King"

2006-05-10T21:35:00.000+08:00

Spywares and Viruses are NIGHTMARE man... I just learned an impt lesson today... Please do daily maintainance on ur com... By the time those stuffs strikes, its already too late. Well, I guess this applies to our health too. Prevention is better than cure, I guess you dont have to think to say it out. There is one sad truth though, we often take things for granted. After being exposed to a superb art film by Mr Eddie Koh and an abortion talk by the same guy, I am now more aware and concious about the things around me.

Like my Laptop. I didn't bother to run programs to remove spywares and viruses. All I did was to login to Msn to chat and surf the net. Until a few days ago when the evil spywares created havoc in the system, then I realised how I neglected it. Now that I've cured her and typing this entry out, I treasuring her more than ever. =)

The film showed us the the cruel reality of families nowadays. People are not upholding family values in this generation. Okay I admit I'm probably 1 of them. Sometimes I just got so fed up and release my anger at them- which is damn bad. Teenagers nowadays are probably valuing friends and peers more than their families. Look at this- we spent like 10-12 hours in sch but only a couple of hours at home. Moreover, if they are working you won't see them. Plus if you go out with your friends and classmates during the weekends. How much time do you spend with your families? Are our parents just suppose to give us our pocket money, sign whatever forms we need them to, buy expensive things etc...? Moreover we throw tantrums at them, howl and scream at them. No wonder couples dont want to have babies.

Last time when we were young and need the care and protection of our parents, we stick to them all the time. We would be always going out with them to shopping, movies and outings. Now as full fledged teenagers, we need not them to protect us already. More than often we go out with our friends than our families. Of course, this does not applies to everyone. The truth is we will spend less and less time with our families as we get older. But all how do we maintain the closeness and bonds between each other? I hope you can find an answer to this problem or everyone's.

After watching the abortion exhibition then I realised how one should value life. These losses of life are all caused by our rash and reckless actions. Imagine yourself developing into a healthy baby being and suddenly, someone came and rob you of your rights to enter and live in this world. I dunno whether this is right or not. But what I know is that we all have an instict to live, a desire to survive. This will and determination to live can be seen in those disasters, where people miraculously survive in the toughest and most extreme conditions. The fetus may not be a human being yet but it will become one. But do people actually cares? Some of these surgeons and women may just see as a "thing", and something which is on their burden and that they wanted to get rid of. Whatever it is, I just hope one day we wont have to be in this type of stituation.

2006-05-06T19:50:00.000+08:00

While Singaporeans make their to way to polling stations today, I made my way to Johor Bahru. But it did not turned out quite well cause I was caught in a mind-boggling 1 hour jam on the causeway. Sometimes I just wonder the disparity of both sides on the causeway. On one end, we have state of the art facilites, sleek architecture, efficient handling- anything u name it. On the other end, u have old and tattered buildings, very slow handling,- a complete opposite. Instead of having funny ideas about altering the bridge, more should be done to improve the current state of their side of the causeway. It should be like the 2nd link- of decent standard.

Whatever discontentment I had were soon extinguished. I got myself a haircut, some dvds(ya u noe it) and a decent amount of chewing gums. Seriously it is really a haven over there, I would rather shop there than on orchard road for exorbilant prices. What we have they also have it too, give JB another 10 years I'm sure it would become a serious contender to us. Before having any grand ideas, pls consider giving the customs a revamp. Haha.

Anyway, I am the captain of the Nobel House, much to the pride of 06A02, which has 2 house captains. We have another house captain of Darwin who is Chen Xing. Haha. Ironically, I will be doing battle with him. He currently has the upper hand over me, holding on to 3rd position and leading Nobel with 5 points. Of course, not all is over yet. We still have the sports meets and 2nd round of inter-house games to compete. On the other hand, we can form an alliance to beat the other 4 houses. =) Who knows maybe Andre or Terry will be Rahmat's successor and by then 06A02 would be truly powerful. Haha. Until now, gotta work on the academic side first.

Just realised I have to rush my homework and study for the Econs Common test on monday.. Cya..

Singapore Politics

2006-05-02T20:26:00.000+08:00

Finally, I've tasted how it is it being involved in politics. Afterall, being a history student studying about politics, you ought to yearn get the taste of the real stuff. The last general elections in 2001, I was probably too young to understand politics. 4 years later and being a JC student, rea life politics in Singapore has really intrigued me. Afterall, you don't get invovled in politics as often as other countries. Last sunday, I went to a SDP rally in Bukit Panjang with
Mr Eddie Koh and his 2 other students. One of them is Aziz, who I hold in great regard. He is an epitomy of an Arts student in PJ, having scored a brilliant 4 As and A1 for GP. The other guy whom I can't rememeber his name, he is a J2 in PJ and takes F Maths.

SDP- Your voice, your party?

Generally, it was a poor rally. The speakers did not convince me and I was expecting a higher standard instead. Nevertheless, the experience lingers in me as it is my first time. I always heard from my former history teacher Mr Kamal on how MM Lee Kuan Yew inspires people with his political speeches. Though there was no LKY there, there was some example of how political speeches. They would speak loudly while emphasising their points then followed by applauses. One part I find funny was that when 1 of the speaker said that PAP ministers earn alot, people down the stages shouted " Peanuts! Peanuts! ". That is, of course referring to the infamous comment by Mrs Goh Chok Tong. This is how fun politics can get to.

The battle for Bukit Panjang... The lightning or the arrow?

The highlight of the night was probably when Dr. Chee Soon Juan arrived on the scene. He is probably the most well known opposition personality in the political scene. Well, who would dare to challenge Goh Chok Tong and Lee Kuan Yew at the same time? My teachers often ridiculed him and make him a laughing stock. I however, refused to place any prejudice on the person. In due respect, he could be one we could learn from- not his mistakes obviously. Finally on that night, I met the man in person. Obliging to a resquest from Mr Koh to get an autograph from him on his book, I walked up to Dr. Chee and got him to sign.

Up close and personal...

It was a good time spent though. Well, I'm still short of 4 years to be eligible to vote. However, in the next GE, I will be voting. Haha. By then, I hope I would not forget my 1st experience of S'pore politics!

The fun part of Rugby =)

2006-04-29T20:31:00.000+08:00

Saturdays are always wasted by me... Haha.

The Saturday mornings are reserved for soccer. You gotta at least play once a week or else dunno what happen. Okay not so serious actually... Get to keep in touch and meet our swiss soccer peeps... No matter poly or jc... Haha. Although we keep laughing at Naim being at RP, cause he's only one there. The sun is always blazing hot and try staying in the court you will practically get roasted. One guy tackled me from behind and after I got the ball from him. Am I a rough player? Well afterall soccer is contact sport and there is bound to be contact when you go for the ball right. BUT definitely I am not a dirty player and I always time my sliding tackles ok... Haha. Nvm he apologised to me after that and its all fine again. As the Nike slogan goes, Joga Bonito, that is to play beautifully in portuguese.

And Man Utd just got thrashed 3-0 by Chelsea. Conceding a goal in the opening minutes effectively killed off the game for United. Chelsea adopted a defensive strategy, packing the midfield then launching waves of counter attack. United laid seige on Chelsea but to no avail. Rooney's shot was saved by the outstanding Cech. The game was officially over when Joe Cole skipped past the defence and scored. A further insult was thrown at United when centre back Carvalho stopped an United attack, ran all the way to United's area, and then unleashed an unstoppable shot past Van Der Sar. Rooney also got injured during a challenge from Ferreira. The extent of the injury is of great concern to any England fans. How poignant for United, who once the dominant force in England soccer. Now we have to endure the pain of seeing Chelsea lifting the Primiership crown in front of us.

Beside doing a GP essay, I haven't done the other homework yet. Watching the United game really spoils my mood lah. Maybe I'll try out some econs... Haha.

Swiss Cottage Sec Sch...

2006-04-24T21:25:00.000+08:00

Interviews... I just came back from my SC interview just now... Haha it was like any other interviews u would expect. But once it was over, I just felt a great heap of relief. Phew. From the moment I woke up today, I've been anticipating the interview... Its like a bitter-sweet experience- I'm looking forward to it and yet feeling nervous. So, during the last hour of waiting in LT1 during Chem lecture, I reckoned I understood only 30% of the whole lecture. Most of the time, I'm either thinking of what to say during the interview or feeling damn nervous. My hands were icy cold and sweating.

So I made my way to the classroom. The sky was raining and dark (it was dusk anway). I thought it was quite poignant for me. Haha. Once I arrived the classroom, 3 persons were waiting for me. On the left, a female teacher that resembles my econs teacher, a male teacher I saw quite a couple of times in O2 who i think is in owens, and lastly, the famous Sutrisno- President of the 6th Student Council.

At first, I just crapped out the lines I thought up during the lecture. Hmm.. not so bad I think. However, the worse is yet to come. After that, they blasted me with a series of questions. Like what would you do bring up the profile of the house? What is your objective and goals for the house? Still quite answerable. However at some moments, my mind threatened to blank out on me. Nevertheless, I still managed to crap out to prevent an awkward stituation. The female teacher especially, blasted me with a series of questions. Haha what's funny is that they commented that my pants were too short as it exposed my feets, which also revealed that I wore ankle socks. Ohhh damn... However the guy in the next room also had the same problem as I noticed. Haha. After the interview I felt so tired mentally, cause they really challenged me hard. I just hope I will get chosen to undergo elections then I can do it with Chen Xing together throughout the whole campaign. If not, I would be "unemployed". Haha.

While walking home, Clement asked me a question, "Do you feel proud being from Swiss Cottage?" Without a doubt, I replied "Yes." Yeah. I've spent 4 wonderful years in there and made countless friends. Its cruel to forget your roots just like that. I can vividly remember the time during orientation in sec 1 just like I can remember orietation in PJ. I can also remember me taking my last 'O' level paper in Swiss. These memories are just so nostalgic. I hope when I read this part of the post 2 years later, I can identify with the similar nostalgia. =)

2006-04-22T22:10:00.000+08:00

Am I becoming a spendthift? YES I think so...

Today I splurged on shopping again... Haha... I roamed Queensway and Bugis for the whole afternoon. Its soooo damn tiring.

Morning- Got conned by Jiawei to play soccer. Yeah. When I reached there got 3 person only. Him, Ismail, Kamalesh. Haha then no choice we played 2 on 2 with hitting drain covers as goals. But of cuz its tiring running around the soccer court madly under the blazing sun. I wore my track shoes to play today. Well, not too bad actually =P. I can still remember those times we played soccer after sch den we'r all wearing sch shoes. Haha. Its bcuz of soccer that our shoes spoil so quickly. Today I even skipped past a sliding tackle from Ismail- normally people evades my slides though.

After that we went to Queensway... Damn long journey and made me real sick. Yes I have car/plane sickness. I vomitted once in the plane. Haha. Then we went to search for new street soccer boots. My Puma pair had a big cut on the right one, and till this day I cant figure out how it happened. Therefore its time for it to be relegated to the cabinets. We originally picked the golden coloured predator Adidas shoe but it turned out the whole Queensway doesnt have big sizes anymore. Jiawei rushed to another place so I'm left with Ismail. We literally explored the shopping centre twice b4 I made up my mind on the Nike Tiempo Legend Gold.

Joga Bonito. =)

I think I'm really soccer mad. A few days ago I just got a new Mitre ball and some other accessories. Haha that's the problem with boys isn't it.

Went all the way to Bugis with Ismail next. He got a new bag for Poly and I got a new black DC bag. Damn, I feel so broke now. Derived from Economics- Unlimited Wants BUT Limited Resources. Gotta do hw now. Ciaoooooo.

2006-04-20T19:22:00.000+08:00

A JC life can be very mundane so they say... To a certain extent, it is. A typical school day is all about lectures and tutorials. Sometimes it gets so boring and unexciting we doze off. Tons and tons of homework are forever trailing on our backs. Ignore them at your own peril cause it will snowball. Haha... Even PE is not so nice now- intensive physical training for us. Plus CCA committments and other activities, you will be very fatigued each time you reach home. Sometimes it's just hard to fathom the decisions we made, why do we choose this path or why should we? Did you regret a single bit? I don't.

I feel proud being a PJC student even though we lose to other schools in terms of sports. On Monday, I watched our rugby boys battled it out with the SA boys. Although we eventually tasted defeat, we emerged as proud winners. Never once that we did not make them work hard for the victory. I watched 1 of our tennis boys play against CJ too. The atmosphere was so intense, every single point earned applauses and meant so much. At that time I felt so glad that I don't play individual sports like Tennis, where there is tons of pressue on you. In soccer, it's all about teamwork- either we perform well as a team, or we don't. Although seeing our school teams losing was a bad feeling, I'm accustomed to it. Many at times I find myself at the wrong end of the scoreline. Haha. I'm sure in the eyes of students of the top JCs, they belittle and look down on us. Just look in the reactions of your friends in those JCs when they know you're in PJ. Well, it's certainly a fact that we are inferior to those JCs in terms of Academic results, Sporting Achievements and even History. But who gives a damn? As long as we don't feel inferior ourselves we would stand every chance of beating them. I'm sure give this sch 10-20 years we will be among the top JCs. Haha what a dream.

Back to the topic about JC life. It was just in the news a couple of days ago that a JC 2 boy committed suicide because he felt that his manhood was not big enough. I felt a bout of sympathy while reading it. Being a fellow male, I feel that it's just a pity that he lose his life just because of a flaw in his body. Well, I'm sure the phrase " Nobody is perfect " is very familiar to you. Often we humans are so driven to attaining perfection in our lives. So true is this example. To be frank, I feel that I'm imperfect too. Academically, appearance and whatsoever. So how do you become perfect eventually? The answer is simple. It's to start to be content with yourself, whatever you have. In layman terms, love yourself and your life. You should live your life beautifully, and not just to try to please everyone else or be on par with them. Easier said than being done, there are always so many distractions in life that derail us. Nevertheless, once you understood your purpose in life, it could not be much better than ever.

2006-04-17T23:12:00.000+08:00

The terror of Econs... Haha...

2006-04-15T21:49:00.001+08:00

Kitty and a bike... =)

2006-04-15T21:49:00.000+08:00

Now you understand why I'm the dirtiest player on the pitch. Haha.

2006-04-15T20:34:00.000+08:00

Rain rain go away come again another day... Rain is sure bugging us nowadays. Just a couple of days ago we trapped inside sch bcuz of rain. Can't really remember when. Alright I'll tell you why I dont like rain.

1) One of my fears is that it rains when during school time. I remember last time during pri sch we wear raincoats and use those very cute kind of umbrellas. Haha. Moreover if your shoes get wet and soaked to your feet, the skin will get wringled and get damn disgusting. Haha. Moreover try enduring for the whole day.

Just reminded of an incident during my time in Cisco. It was raining. Alfian was late and rushing for work somemore. So he ran over a puddle of water and his shoes were very wet. The during work right, I kept smelling something weird and disgusting. The thought of it still gives me the creeps lol! Imagine smelling that at around 4-5 am!!! I sat down with him to count money. Haha. So unlucky. I dont know how the hell I did it but I endured about 2 hours of salted fish smell. I scolded him but he denied. Haha in the end when he admitted I just feel like spanking him. I went home feeling really sick... Ewwww....

2) Rain stops us from our activities... For me its soccer... Haha. Although when it rains a little we still are able to play but its not easy. Especially in street soccer. The floor gets slippery then you cannot run and sprint properly... But it makes sliding easier for me. =)

3) Thunders give me the creeps. I'm saying this cause I endured about 45 mins of continous thunder just now. You cant really predict thunder right, yeah you can do so by looking out of the brightness of the lightning but it happens so fast you have little time to react. Alright I cover my ears and close my eyes... Haha. I still rem once in pri sch I screamed or what after a thunder then the whole class laughed at me... So embarassing. So the thunders just now really annoyed me... especially when I'm doing my econs essay. You DO need alot of concentration for that, trust me. Haha.

BUT... I do love rain too. But only when I'm at home or when you are sleeping. Haha. Its so cool and condusive for you to slack at home. Like what I'm doing now. Haha.

----

One of the mottos I gave myself once I stepped into PJ is that to DO HOMEWORK. I guess I'm pretty much abiding by it now. The satisfaction of completing homework is always an enjoyable. But the process is NOT. Haha. I did 2 Econs essays today. And it killed most of my brain cells to be honest.

Also went to Bukit Batok to play against the scouts. I got to start at my dream position, centre back. Haha. The field was in very BAD condition. Waterlogged and muddy throughout. Because of RAIN. In the end we still played though. From the first time I slided on the field, I knew I was going to get dirty and wet. VERY indeed. I think I'm the dirtiest player in the pitch, just look above. Haha. It was very hard to play on such a field, the ball cant roll properly and you cant run well either. I think they are just too good for us, an organised team against a team which is hastily assembled? Ok I think I did rather ok today... Made a few interceptions and they were shouting "Good One!"... It was a good feeling... The best one was one I made a last ditch sliding tackle to dispossess Jason before he can shoot. Still made a few mistakes but who doesnt? In the end we played 1 half only because of the pitch and lost 4-1... Haha.

Easter Sunday tmr... Haha. Guess I'll be doing homework after church.

2006-04-14T22:37:00.000+08:00

2 guys under the Cathay logo, Me wearing the PJ tie... Haha. and Eric-soraus!

2006-04-14T22:35:00.000+08:00

Eric in his neardy specs... Oops sorry!

2006-04-14T22:34:00.000+08:00

Posters being replaced as LCD screens... Cool.

2006-04-14T22:33:00.000+08:00

The Cathay building... Looked real modern with its transparent glass design.

2006-04-14T21:31:00.000+08:00

GOOD FRIDAY! Haha. That's the day I dont wanna do hw... Ooopss.

Very fun day to have indeed. Haha.

9.20am- Woke up... Oh no! So late already huh... Gotta rush...

9.30am- Finished washing up. Grabbed my black billabong shirt which I haven't worn b4 and new pair of jeans. Both are new... Haha. Then the thought of wearing came up, however, I realised that I dont have one. So I grabbed and tried the PJ tie... Not bad looking... Haha

9.45am- Went downstairs to catch a cab.

ME- Ehh.. Uncle, Woodlands Interchange...

Uncle- Huh? Where?

Me- WOODLANDS INTERCHANGE

Uncle- *Mutters* At the customs arh?

Maybe my hearing fails me or what. But NO WAY I was thinking that he would link Woodlands Interchange to the customs.

So we nearly ended up in JB- , luckily can turn to Woodlands road. This cost me about $3. Haix.
I reached Church when the sermon was about to start.

11.30 am- Service ended already. Yah, it was quite early.

12.00pm- After rounds and rounds and discussion, Eric, Daniel and Me decided to go The Cathay to catch a movie.

1.15pm- Reached The Cathay. Although it seems empty due to the shops still being renovated, the Cinema is already open. And we stepped inside, we were awed. The interior design is sleek and eye catching, it looked so modern. At the windows, it provide a romantic spot for couples as they can sit on love-shaped sofas and enjoy the scenery. Haha. We changed our mind to watch 16 blocks instead of 8 below, bcus of Bruce Willis. =)

Next we walked to PS to makan. We ate from the Riverside Indonesian Cuisine in the foodcourt. Simply heavenly. No wonder so many people were queuing.

3.10pm- Movie. The seats in the cinema are actually titled and its very comfortable. The air-con is also very cold. Haha. I can feel the coldness even wearing a long sleeved shirt. The movie is quite watchable. Though quite dull at the start but the moral of the story is a very impactful one.
"People DO change."

5.45pm- They went to hang out with Wei Qiang and gang while I went to Funan to get stuffs for my laptop. A cooler pad and a travelling case. Haix burnt a big hole in my pocket again. Haha.

7.15pm- Reached home but dont feel like doing homework. K i WILL do it tmr =)

2006-04-13T22:30:00.000+08:00

Another week's gone... Cant imagine how FAST time flies again... Quite a meaningful week to have... Haha.

Monday... Stayed back in school till 7pm for debate stuffs... Oh my so tiring... After that went home to research with Carebear and Gina till 12pm... Then stayed until 1am to print everything... Wad the hell... just 1 night to prepare for the debate. Didnt do a single homework. Haha.

Tuesday... Missed maths lessons to prepare for debate again... Then there was it... Basically only the 1st speaker from them was good. Yeah so we lost to him plus the motion. Haha so embarassing to talk crap in front of so many ppl... But not bad for a 1st try. =)

Wednesday... Nothing much... Except that PE was a killer. 7 rounds + circuits. Make u feel like dropping dead halfway. Nonetheless, the satisfaction of completing everything was undescribable. Stayed back to watch dance and choir peform... *Ahem... Haha.

Thursday... Lessons as usual... After school went to Lot 1 to eat and hang around with the girls... Kamilah, Amelia and Yuqing... Quite fun lah they all... Already made quite a few bosom friends in the class... Hope this class can sustain this good relationship for another 1 1/2 years...

Finally Good Friday and Easter is coming! I can't wait man... Haha. Alright gonna have fun this long weekend... After doing hw of cuz.. Haha

2006-04-08T23:50:00.000+08:00

Played soccer with Andre and Terry in sch yesterdae... Haha I feel that both of them quite pro lah... Especially Andre... He's the star defender lor.. He can tackle and steal ur ball like nothing, intercept passes, dribble and do fakes. Found out he's from the SJI sch team.. No wonder.. Thank God he's in Nobel house man... So that I can partner him in defence.. Haha.

The rugby boys play soccer also very pro lor... No wonder they'r afraid that they will breakaway to join soccer. After that, I went to Jericho Prayer Meeting in church for the first time. Ohh my, I'm really bad at saying prayers. But I know that Lord doesnt mind as long as there's sincerity. Knowing Him really bring purpose to my life. I've been living such a wonderful and meaningful life. Thank God for putting so many fellow Christians in 06A02, I appreciate it very much. I've also changed as a better person. I have much more confidence in myself and able to resist temptations. Reading Rick Warren's "The Puporse Driven Life" is certainly essential to knowing more about my Christian life.

Stayed at home all day today... which is quite a serious achievement. No choice... Given such a pile of homework, you cant really go out. I did 2 essays today. GP and History. Oh my... Enough to kill me already. Yup, when u really have not written 1 properly for ages, u will spend hours doing one. I'm have no regrets though... this is typical of an arts student... Just that feel that I'm too rusty alr.. Haha. I think I'm too tired alr.. Cya.

2006-04-05T22:04:00.000+08:00

This is probably the period when the real deal comes- homework. For some reasons, I always felt a strong urge to do hw when I'm not anywhere during 1st 3 months. I just feel like doing hw. Haha. Now I regret it!!! Haha. Mugging and doing homework till 12am sometimes. No games, no tv. Haix. Although sometimes its very easy to give up, I just remind myself of my days in sec sch. Yup. Enough is enough. No more mediocrity. I'm gonna give my best whatever it takes.

I'm running for the house exco. Yeah. Haha. Just 9 ppl really contesting currently when they need 12. I think I do have some chance. Nobels please vote for me arh... =) Oh yah, I'm chosen for the debate team for the class, no surprise since I talk the most in class. I'm just a little worried cause I dont have any experience or whatsoever. But its a little unrealised dream of mine to be debating. Haha hope the first attempt at it wouldnt be too bad.

Chemistry is really a killer man. Its the only lesson I can fall asleep in. Even during the tutorial lor. In my subconcious state I didnt really learnt anything, . Stoning or sleeping during lessons is big sin man. I really regret it. Haha. Already started to lose grapse of the teachings alr. Econs need some alot time to understand lo. So the free time goes to understanding and building up the foundations. With Nyaa Gold committments coming up... I can foresee a really "enriching" life.. haha.

2006-04-02T22:16:00.000+08:00

Ginger... Ewwww... Justin and I challenged each other to it... Haha.

2006-04-02T22:15:00.000+08:00

Eric and Justin having a fun time blowing pearls... Haha...

2006-04-01T22:25:00.000+08:00

What the hell... this is the first time I got injured while tackling someone... is this? Haha. I just kicked the heel of 1 guy this morning and then I felt an excruciating pain in my toe lo. How come his heel so hard 1. Den the pain has not subside in the afternoon. I went home and found a part of my toe got blue black. Arghh... Really hopes it recovers before pe. If not I'm going to have a bad time.

Went to Kinokuniya to search for the book Mr Koh told us to buy. "Ideas that changed the world". It's been a looooong time since my last time there. And I'm still as fascinated as ever. I just hope I got the money to buy all the books that I wanted to read in there. Mins of searching and searching and still a fruitless find. So I walked all the way to Borders with a bruised toe. I ran into Sean and his family. Haha. And finally... I got that elusive copy after the kind counter lady found it for me. =)

While walking to the busstop, I walked in the Nike and Adidas shops. To be the frank with you, the shopping demon within myself also consumed me. I just told myself "I'll be going queensway next week..." Lol the world cup's coming so they r coming up with a whole new range of products. I cant wait.

Wad's make me feel so stupid is that I got fooled... out of all people... by Anthony Teo... I'll get back at u... Haha.

Haix homework and homework and homework. GP has already murdered most of my brain cells. Upcoming: Econs, Maths, Chem, Chi and History. Oh my...

2006-03-30T20:19:00.000+08:00

Days really fly past away when u'r in jc... Obliviously, 4 days already gone. Oh my. Although I had a troubled start to the week, I'm glad things turned around and that now I'm feeling cool and alright now.

I did a blog for my class. http://www.06a02.blogspot.com/... Haha. Though I wanted to play games with that time, I'm sure doing tt blog was worth every single min. =)

Anyways, I'm feeling real cool in this class. Moreover, we have a 6-pointer in Chen Xing who just joined us this week. We the 7 boys always talk crap together. Haha Andre and Jiaquan... "Too much already lah". That is our official slogan. The girls are real cool too. Haha.

My fav class... GP! No second thoughts abt it. Mr Koh is real cool lor. Moreover, I happen to know how to answer his questions. Haha. But whether will I do well in GP is another matter of cuz. And ermm I dislike Maths lecture. The lecturer's perky voice creeps me up and moreover he just shouted at our class today. Minus more points.

I stayed awake till 12.30 am last night. Why? To do a proposal for soccer. Yah I'm quite upset that soccer would not set up here. Though the chances are slim, I willing to try. If not I will be living in regret in PJ. Im sure other soccer-loving guys share the same sentiments. The side effect is that I had to take a 1 hr nap just now. Haha.

I bought 2 books just now. =) One is a book about the 100 year of FIFA, the global football organisation. A must have for me. The other is "The Purpose Driven Life". A worldwide seller. I hope my life will be pupose driven. I admit that I don't really have time to read books nowadays. Nevertheless, I will dedicate part of my time to reading. Less time for gaming. =(

Lastly, I think I'm running for council. That is, if I failed with my proposal. Hope not lah. If I really running.... Haha. Nobel peeps pls gimme ya support arh..
Oh no.. econs essays to do. They're really getting on my nerves.

rumours...

2006-03-27T19:01:00.000+08:00

I thought my 1st official week is Pj was cool, and tt the 2nd 1 is going to be cool too.

I am so wrong.

Imagine yourself- just completing the 1st week of ur jc life, meeting new friends, settling in the sch. However, you already got urself famous, for the wrong reasons. Alright, its not tt u haven't gone thro anthing like this b4. But, its gone so big and wrong tt u cant believe it urself. Its spreading around the whole batch, like an unstoppable forest fire. Nothing's gonna stop it. Can u imagine ppl gossiping behind ur back, pointing here and there? You've become an overnight celebrity. Moreover, you have not even done anything to start all these. Out of blue, you get embroiled into it. Where's the compassion in this world? People like to make fools out of 2 J1s just in the new term huh? This is just so cruel for them. Whatever it is, empathy is always not enough. You can walk past the streets seeing beggers and say "Ohh, poor thing...", but you're never gonna experience what they went thro.

I am the victim.

2006-03-23T22:12:00.000+08:00

Finally... The 4E4 Class Chalet's gonna be held tomorrow until sunday morning... Organising this chalet really let me experiences alot of things.

Deciding on a date is hard enough, having to coordinate the schedules of 36 people. So even months earlier, choosing a date was giving me much headache. Alright I did chose 1, but so unfortunately the days have to fall on orientation week. We are even having campfire night, no choice I had to make the pragmatic choice of postponing the chalet. For this, I have to give so many explanations, talkings to people to let them understand. It stressed me out the whole period.

Please have some pity on someone or the people who's gonna organise your events. Have to sacrifice your time, energy and money. Though it's hard but I still love doing it. I want to see the joy on their faces. Last teacher's day's celebration party was organised by me... Hehe. Of course I'm not some superman, so just wanna thank those peeps who helped me out a great deal.

Alfian, Khairah, Khairiana and Kris, for buying the food for the BBQ. Jia Wei, for helping me to check in into the chalet. LOL! We had this problem cause we need someone 18 to check in the resort. As the days were counting down, we were pushed to our wits' ends even until just now. Lastly, we settled for JD's dad to help us.

I'm just just so glad all these stuffs are over. Hope that we can enjoy all the hard work we have put in. *Phewwwwww

-----

Alright should I do NYAA Gold? Should I??? I really dunno. I hope I can make a decision by tomorrow.

Anyway school's still very cool. The A02 peeps are friendly lol. AND I just found out that we are one of the most slack class in PJ... Haha. We're having 2 hrs of PW, 1 hour of History tutorial, 1 and 1/2 of break, 1 and 1/2 hours of GP. LOL I love Fridays man.

Maybe next week our class should go out and catch a movie together. Haha.

And... Its red alert for me... Intensive physical training starts from now. Must achieve at least Silver by next year. Haha.

JC education doesnt come cheap lol. I already spent hundreds within a couple of weeks. Uniform, PE kit (still have Polo Tee and House Tee), tons of NOTES, locker, calculator, TIME magazine and more. Nvm, cause I feel very excited getting these stuffs.

Today's PCCG lecture was cool. I like Mr Dennis Yeo, not that I'm gay, but he's real cool.

CCAs

2006-03-22T22:11:00.000+08:00

1 of the dis-satisfying part of PJ that I find is there are very LIMITED choices of CCAs there.

-Alright ODAC, probably a hundred people queuing up to join it.

-Rugby? They're training 3 times a week and I think I'll be too wobbly to do hw. BUT if for soccer i DONT mind... Haha.

-Media club? I signed up just in case. Can take photos of pretty girls. Why not? Just joking. Just that I've a interest in Photography.

-Soccer. No second thoughts. I will join it IF it opens. If dont get selected then I'm speechless. Wont happen 1 lah... 0_0

-Students Council. Haix. Interviews + Elections. Can train me to become politicians. Haha.

----

What should be the CCAs there? Here's a list of my recommendations.

1) Tutorial Club- This club encourages its members to do tutorials.

No membership worries. CTs ensure that students with great potential are posted there.

2) Tailors Club- This club teaches its members basic/advanced DIY alteration skills. Members can even start a service for the college.

Members can alter their uniforms to their likings, and help to create the "modern" uniform. Fully suited for you to go on a date after school.

3) Mobile Club- This club equips its members with the skills to modify handphones to let them have better signals.

Modified handphones can recieve FULL strength signals in all the LTs and classrooms. Can SMS w/o worries.

4) Idols Club- This club trains members to be aspiring Idols, be it singing, hosting and acting.

Members are experts in the fun dance, mass dance, the songs "Perfect Strangers" and "Chapter Next" and performs them during the auditions.

5) Culinary Club- Chefs who are specialised in cooking Western Food are hired to impart their skills to students.

Students now take over the Western Food stall in the college and also attained "A" for cleaniness.

6) Bluetooth Club- Members take videos on their handphones and send them around the college via Bluetooth.

Even people from outside queue up outside PJ just to be inside the bluetooth's range so that they can recieve videos.

7) Bloggers Club- So that students can post crap like this on the net.

2006-03-20T20:40:00.000+08:00

Life's been going very fine i guessed. Haha.

Friday.

Went out whole day with my OG 4 mates. Went out to meet Caressa and Yann Mng 1st at Lido to buy tickets. It's the 1st we're buying 16 tickets at 1 go. Lol. Even the auntie there was qute shocked. "Ermm... It'll be $128. $128 right?" After that we went to wait for those peeps. Wth. Was supposed to meet at 12pm but some of them came at 12.30. But nevermind, we r going to have fun also. While waiting right, a stranger approaced Wei Long out of the blue den asked for a few bucks. In the end, a couple of us contributed some to him. Facing with a similar incident just the day before, I just wondered to believe them anot. You see, if we believe, we might be taken in and contributing to their list of successful preys. While we don't, we might be deprieving someone of their lunch or meal. Well, just follow what your heart tells you.

We went around to find smth to do. In the end, ended up at Cine playing pool. Rushed to Lido after that to watch Yours, Mine and Ours. Quite a good flick but after that you will have nightmares about having a large family. After the movie, we walked all the way from Lido to Esplanade. Then, I dropped my money that I left in my pocket. Thanks Caressa for picking it up for me but after that I was tricked into exchanging small changes with her and Jamie. Nevermind lah, take it as a lesson learned. Went to enjoy the scenery at the Esplanade, had lunch at BK, den went home already.

Saturday.

Nothing much. Played soccer for 4,5 hours under the scorching sun in the morning. After that went home to settle stuffs.

Sunday.

After Church in the morning, went to play a match at Sembawang. The field is property of the American Navy if I never heard wrongly. So the grass was good and the lines were properly drawn out. Was initially intimidated by the opponents as they looked good. However, we finished the 1st half winning 2-0 up. I entered as right back in the 2nd half and they equalised. The 1st 1 they scored a free kick which went in cheaply. The second 1 was resulted from the goal kick which the striker got 1-on-1 with the keeper when the ball was lobbed over the last man. Generally felt that we played well but not my performance. Perhaps my nerves got the better of me and affected my play. But nevertheless will contiunue to learn from mistakes and improve. Sitting behind a pick up with our team was a great feeling, talking and enjoying the wind.

Today

The 1st official day of the JC term was a great one. Especially with my class 06A02. Our teacher Mr Victor Koh is a very funny guy, trust him to come up with all kinds of jokes lol. But we have a very small class indeed. 13 girls and 6 boys only. But all of them are cool. Haha. Should I run for class manager? Haha. Think all the girls will vote for girls lol. Just joking. =) Hope the rest of the year with this class will be a fun one. yeah. Pre Napha test on Wednesday... Oh no...

2006-03-19T00:08:00.000+08:00

CJ wanna act cool again...

2006-03-19T00:07:00.000+08:00

Singapore city... Haha...

2006-03-19T00:05:00.000+08:00

The battlefield...

time flies

2006-03-17T23:27:00.000+08:00

Hah this is the probably the umpteenth time u and me realise how time flies.

Wednesday we went to celebrate Zinc's bdae... The night before we had a misunderstanding. Yeah glad I'm could be there to celebrate with her. We went to Lot 1 Kbox with around 12 ppl. It was really enjoyable. We got the biggest and most spacious room! Damn shiok. Too bad it has a very heavy puke smell inside. *yucks! But nevertheless, we all had a great time singing and gathering together. Also, me and jian de went downstairs to breadtalk to get a choco cake. She was so touched! I'm very happy too. =) Another fren had turned 17. Hehs. I wonder wad will I be doing during my bdae... Mugging?

Yesterday went to play against the scouts team again. This team with Jian De they all. LOL but I had to play for the scouts team. Yah was abit disappointed but I would never give up a chance to play. Playing with strangers and against my frens was quite tough for me. Moreover, I had to cope with high balls, which I admit I cant clear them probably. So the 1st few mins or prob the 1st half I struggled. Our team got to a terrible start- letting in 3 successive goals during the start. Everyone was stunned and morale plumetted. Despite having a mountain to climb, we continue to fight and attack. I also upped my game and cleared balls more properly. In the 2nd half, we scored 2 goals back and went to 2-3. However, we conceded yet another soft goal and then was losing 2-4. In the end the match ended 5-4. Not a bad scoreline since the other team was technically stronger and had veterans playing for them. This is also a very valuable lesson for me- for it is my 2nd time starting at centre back. Really hope PJ will have a soccer team and I hope to enter too.

Street soccer tmr and field soccer match on Sunday afternoon. Gonna be quite tiring... Haha. You'll never get tired pursuing your passion. Proper school terms starts next week... Time really flies uh...

Organisation...

2006-03-14T19:37:00.000+08:00

1 of the most important lessons I learned today is that organising your work, school and life makes things go so much more smoother. Tried and tested!

On a lazy Sunday which I sinfully missed Church to stay at home all day, I went about doing things I had always left undone. And so I organised my stuffs. =)

Firstly, the wardrope. I ransacked all my clothes out and placed them back neatly. (though there is still left undone due to lack of space.) Why? So that I am able to browse through my clothes without much hazzle. Seeing them in a untidy pile is always a sore eye and frustrates me.

Secondly, the blog. I spent an hour or so blog-hopping to friends' blogs. I then linked them back on my blog and also update this blog. At the same time, I found a few long lost primary school friends' blogs. It felt good to find them back after 4 years but I also regret for not being able to keep in touch with them. Though I can't really recall all the good old times, the nostalgic feeling always comes to me.

Thirdly, the computer. I also organised and did some maintainance on the computer. It is an integral part of my life and I cannot afford to lose it.

Next. The week work plan. I started this thing so that I can note down all the things that need to be accomplished the following week. It also help me to plan my time and days better. For example for today, I attended my lectures, went back school to give invitations and bought a new bag. This is an example of how school, work and leisure are put into a day. This makes life so much easier cause I know what I need to do and not just waste time unneccessarily. However, tthis is not similar to a rigid time table. It simply provides me my objectives for that day. I refuse to be tied down to a fixed time table which achieves its aims but makes life so stressful. Its like, ohh its 4'o clock and I'll have to see what's next. I designed my plan so that its like "beginning with the ends in mind". There are much fewer restrictions.

However, you should just decide what is best for you, like in my case.

And lastly, it all came back to planning. I had to plan the class chalet again but this time I'm pretty sure it would go on smoothly. Meanwhile, I finally understand the pain and agony of the back stage people. What they have on their minds is only for the event to go on smoothly so that people can enjoy. And when they have make some painful decisions or mistakes on their part, they get blamed and scolded. They never do get to enjoy the limelight do they? Even so, the satisfaction will eventually sweep off the bitterness in them when they finally succeed. That is why I choose to be an organiser/planner.

2006-03-12T13:31:00.000+08:00

Jing Ying doing the "Ji Niu Nai" action.. Wahaha... Didn't knew I grinned so evilly!

Pioneer...!

2006-03-10T23:33:00.000+08:00

I guess fate brought me to Pioneer JC. I wonder how someone who had the poly mentality for 3 mths could just change his mind. Thank God for bringing me to such a wonderful college.

Pioneer JC. Its a very unique JC. Students here come from different backgrounds. Top schools, neighbourhood schools. They also score very different grades- ranging from 6 to 18. However, 1 thing is for sure, all the people in Pioneers are fun loving ones. No doubts about it.

The 1st 5 days of my days in PJ had already changed me drastically. I learned many things indeed. I was no longer the former me now, I now dare to go up and lead a whole house to cheer.
My OGL was right, ever since I was sabo-ed to stage to dance, I have never been too shy. My OG mates acknowledges me as the "enthu" one. We cheered so loud that many of us lost our voices, including me. In my NCC days, my leadership opportunities were rather limited. Should I take this chance to assume a leaderdship role at PJ? This will be running in thoughts for days to come.

To my surprise, I find so many of my Greenridge Primary school mates here. Not surprsing however, is almost all of them don't recognise me. Yah seriously I miss them so maybe we will sit down 1 day in PJ and chat about the old days.

OG 4 rocks! I will never forget this bunch of people who spent the 1st 5 days of PJ life with me. Let me... introduce... G4!!

Ginny- Super-duper OGL!
Yann Ming- Childish OGL...
Cheng Jie- I already know him..
Xiao Qiang- Fun guy from SA... But we bullied him on the last day...
Leon- 185cm peep...
Jason-... Jason!
Terence- Poor with games!
Khairul- 1st guy I talked to... Great dude!
Dennis- From Dunearn.. quite friendly too..
Jamie- Pretty gal from bpgh... linked with Xiao Qiang... Haha joking!
Caressa- CHIJ gal who is going to be my classmate.. ohh no..!
Jing Ying- My primary sch mate.. Haha..
Vanessa- From swiss together yet i dunno her..
Deepa- Very friendly gal who is always seen with Khai.. oops!
Hui Wen- The dirtiest girl I've met. I swear it.
Hai Hui- Petite gal from I dunno from which sch.
Wan Teng- Not so noisy but also not too quiet.
Denise- Nice gal from Nanyang.

I got into 06A02. Terence and Caressa joined me. Our CT teacher was our history teacher Mr Victor Ko. I can say he's probably a replica of my dear Mr Kamal in Swiss. He's exactly like Mr Kamal, who can always joke around with us. I expect this year to be a fun one. Also got to know that a 6 pointer got into my class. There's gonna be stiff competition...

Shan't gonna continue cause I'm very very tired.

the losing side

2006-03-04T15:18:00.000+08:00

Well, in a game there's always two faces to it, either someone wins while the other loses, or they draw- meaning both are winners. Today I got a taste of losing again... and very badly.

On this fine Saturday before the official JC term starts, ex-Swiss boys from 4, e1, e4 and e6 got together to play I think would be our last match for a long while to come. Reds vs Blues. I supposed football fanatics would have known of Chelsea's infamous "potato field". Yeah the field we played on was worse, its called "desert on a hill". How the hell is Singapore gonna develop young talents when well maintained fields are scarce and expensive. This field isn't even flat and there so many rocks and sandy patches occassionally lying cunningly around it. A potential "Rooney" would probably get killed before he plays for the national team. Well, if there is one.

My team, the Reds, led 3-2 after the first half. We were on the upper slope and were attacking downslope. I made a few clearances and think did reasonably ok. We conceded 2 freak goals, 1 of which came from a freekick conceded to the backpass rule. After that, disaster stuck us in the 2nd half. I started as keeper and conceded 2 goals immediately. The first one is by YueHern, who shot the ball so near to the goalpost and I deflected it in. I think I would rather concede it then risk my life diving towards the goalpost.

When I returned to defence, it was already in a mess. During an incident, the ball was just in front of the goalpost and there were a defender and striker plus the keeper. I just ran in to clear the ball but unfortunatley I slided it into the goal while avoiding collisions. After our team's morale just plummeted down and we conceding goals for fun. Not a shadow of what we performed during the 2nd half. I couldn't do much either, I'm not some super player. Torrents and torrents of attack came our way, despie attempts to stop them, the goal rush didn't stop. The funiest part is when Dan Fu conceded one when it rolled in between his legs. The final score? 18-6.

Fresh from humiliation though, I do not feel disheartened or whatevr. Well, this is called passion to soccer. Probably alien to girls. Am really tired. Gonna take some rest before my legs crumble.

2006-02-27T17:59:00.000+08:00

I was nearly scammed just now!!! Luckily I'm not so dumb to fall into the trap. Here's how the scam went about,

I went down the Woodlands Mrt escalator to the interchange, then a chinese man ran up to me when I reached downstairs. He showed a police report and started with his cock-and-bull story- saying he lost his wallet and stuffs today and need to borrow $20.

LOL! The date on the police report state it was made on 08/2/06. This convinced me not to give him any money. I already had the feeling of reaching for my wallet already. When I flaty turned him down, he then said $5 will do since he had $15 liao. An act of desperation? I think so. So, be careful guys!

Went out with Swiss peeps like Vivian, Tai Ming, Wan Ting, Jun Tang, Michelle and the usual gang of JD, Kel and Zinc to Pizza Hut for lunch. Sometimes its good to have lunch with friends that you haven't seen for so long so that can keep in touch... We crapped and talked for quite a while. Am afraid wouldn't have time for these type of meaningful gatherings in the future when school gets really hectic.

OH yeah! Man Utd whacked Wigan 4-0 to win the Carling Cup. It's really nice to see the lads put in a superb performance to win the cup in style. So long liao haven't see my fav. club win something... I hope this victory marks the birth of a new era for the club. Glory glory Man United!!!

Finally getting my new laptop tmr... Well it's been a loooong and tormenting wait. Especially when you bought the stuff 2 weeks ago, brought it home to find a glitch on the screen. Nvm, at least they replaced a new 1 , or else I will be going to CASE! Hehe. I hope it can spur me on to study real hard =).

Going out later for my eldest Uncle's 60th birthday (da shou) dinner. I think I'm getting fatter. =P

deja vu~

2006-02-25T19:42:00.000+08:00

Finally! My entrepreneur cousin Deli, just got his new van for his shop
Gamescore. No more buses. No more mrt. (Sadly not for me...). Yah at least he can drive people around now...

I was his 2nd ever passenger after his gf Jaclyn, and we joke about putting our lives in his hands. Hehe. In total we travelled all over Singapore in his first ever delivery job and clocked 100 over km... Haha. Oh man sure it was tiring, but overall the driver did a good job (apart from a few times when the van bounced... Lol gear probs!). Jaclyn was the chief driections officer and I was the storeman aka Ka Kia, looking after the PSP games and stuffs.

Went back to Funan and then went to watch Final Destination 3 with his friends. Sadly, they couldn't make it because Jac's uncle was critically ill and they went to pay him a last visit. Deli told me it was the first time he ever saw someone stopped breathing and passed away. God bless him in heaven.

I was also saddened by the death of former Vice-Prime Minister Mr Rajaratnam. I know clearly about his past contributions to Singapore especially when my strongest subject is History. I just hope someone will emulate this great man and lead Singapore to new heights. Thank you!!!

Yeah today just found missed out on Deli's new car plate no. on both the 1st and 3rd prize. If not I will be treating some of you big meals liao... Lol...

back again...

2006-02-24T13:32:00.000+08:00

guess who's back again, back again, shady's back, tell a friend...

hey! i'm back from my 2nd and longest ever blogging absence- around 3 months i reckon... Well... Restraining my blogging instincts for 3 months was a pure torture. Yeah, for 3 months I had few people to share my thoughts with. So right now the hard disk inside me is probably badly corrupted(don't think dirty)- as mentioned on my MSN nick. Its time to relive those happy blogging days =)

let me recap what I've did in these mind-boggling 3 months of my life...

1) I decided to skip PAE

-I flunked my prelims (19pts), so I decided that I could use those 3 months to do more things. I rather not slip into sch uniform...

2) 1 1/2 month stint at Cisco Security, 14th December-2nd Feburary

-My FIRST ever job... I learnt that the working world is a cruel 1, full of hypocrisy and sh**. Yeah but nonetheless it was an enlightening experience. For 1.5 month, your ATM cash was probably handled by me.

Bet you didn't know- An Atm machine contains $320,000 worth of cash, 6000 pieces of $50, 2000 pieces of $10. Usually used up in a couple of days... Rich Singaporeans...

Yeah you can imagine the amount of work inside there where ALL the Atm and (Cash Acceptance Machine) cash are handled in there. My longest record was working for a 20 hours... Unimaginable... Until now, I can still empathise the workers in there, working so hard yet earning mearge wages. Yo man, its the reality in this world. It really does spurs me to study harder. I would like to share more but I DON'T want to get sued... LOL.

3) I got 13pts for 'O's

Not something proud about though but I decided to blog it anyway... Feeling ultra nervous when during to the countdown to the results day. I remember my hands were trembling when I reached them out to take that slip of paper... That piece of paper signifies an end to a 4-year journey... made me feeling real nostalgic. Haha... I got the testimonial Eric wrote for me PLUS a botak photo of me during sec 3...!

I feel real proud of Eric on that day... He is a true epitomy of a Swiss student and deserved his success =)... Let's wish him luck in the future!

And I also feel happy cause I didn't disappoint Mr Kamal. Thanks alot! (Though Man City beat Man Utd 2-0... *Sobs)

4) JAE... Aka JC vs Poly...

I spent the subsequent days and nights thinking hard which path should I take- It's 1 of those few times where you find yourself in a crossroad situation.Finally, I decided to enrol into Pioneer JC... I decided to take on the challenge and study for the 'A's... I'm more of a Humanities student, so maybe a JC curriculum suits me more. That means.... tough PE!, Homework, blah blah blah. I've also learn something from Vivian- It's 2 YEARS ONLY! Throughout these 2 years, I've put myself in a personal quest- to work real damn hard and prove that no matter what JC you gets in, you can still succeed...

5) 3 weeks of re-discovering myself...

I decided to use these 3 weeks to do some soul-searching(my previous MSN nick) to understand myself better , and doing all the things I reckon I will no time to do in the future.

What I've done...

- Played computer games... hehex
- Played late night soccer and became a victim of the 11pm U-17 law...
- Think of girl(s)... (What!?, cannot arh, then boys meh?)
- Finally and finalised the class chalet... (Well done...!)
- Stayed up overnight with JD and Kel (Ate alot of crap and watched Arsenal beat Real)
- Blog... ^_^
- Attend church regularly... (Oops)

What I know about myself...

- Turning 16 has started a new chapter in my life...
- I think I'm FAT but people say I'm thin...
- I can't sing well (I never can!!)
- I got a new crush on someone... (Oh NO!!!)

I once stayed awake on bed for 2 hours reminiscing my whole life... Thinking about what I went through... Maybe its tougher but I reckon it made me stronger. I really thank God for steering me back to the path, if not I could have just rotten away.

I dunno if u turned 16, you will feel a strong urge to have a partner... Perhaps its the effects of lonliness- try walking down the streets alone, try to to catch a movie alone... Or is it the hormonal effects then? Haha... whatever!

One last advice to myself- Don't think too much!

Memories that flows in my veins...

2005-11-25T23:46:00.000+08:00

I share the same sentiments with other swiss peeps... Prom food really sucked! Haha. Nevermind the food, its the memories that counts. I took lots of photos- with many gorgeous people. Everyone looked great that day! You can view the pictures at http://photobucket.com/albums/y145/shadyz09/. Mr Sashi was real funny that day. Looked like he enjoyed being Darth Vadar!

I was so worried then when our class's video wasn't being showed, the pleasant surprise was that it got into the competition! I was quite anxious the video wasn't being well done- cause its my maiden work! I hoped everyone really enjoyed that and I feel glad that it actually came out third. I actually wanted to say some words in Yoda style but too bad I didnt get the mic... =P My other regret is that I didn't have the courage to ask that special someone for a photo.

Went to KTV that night and stayed there until real late. It was really fun singing together with a group of best friends. I wun't comment bout my singing but just have to say I will improve!

Thanks again for the wonderful memories in Swiss. Friends who accompanied my Swiss journey and teachers who had watched us grow up. I can still vividly recall my feelings when I first entered the school... "Will I get lost?". I was so plump then. Everyone changed drastically. Just like how YongQi, whom I knew for 9 years said, "Woah, You've really changed alot!". I hope we will be able to witness each other's change in 10 years' time. Maybe I can be your children's Godfather already! The teachers in Swiss are also out of this world, they are our mentors and friends. I will like to thank Mrs Chua especially, for taking care of me for 2 years. If not for you I've would be what I am today! Also to Mr Kamal, for making History such a fun subject! Thanks for the humour and memories!

Meanwhile I will also like to pay tributes to other best friends (Sorry its hard to name everyone).

Wen Jun- Thanks for being my buddy for sec 1 and 2. You were my only friend then when I first got in Swiss cuz we happened to be in the same class. People even said we looked the same! Haha. Thanks also for the times in NCC and your lameness!

Cheng Jie- My buddy since pri 5. Though we was not in the same class in Swiss, we keep in touch with each other. I will never forget the times in NCC, when we braved through rain and sun. Also, we sometimes treat each other meals! I remember eating mee goreng at Sakura! Please get a handphone plan that can sms... Hope we can be best friends for ever!

Alfian- We were in the same class for four years and even togeher in NCC! You never failed to brighten up my life! We helped each other when one of us needed help. I will remember you as one of the best guy I've met in Swiss. Stay a funky nerd! Haha.

Ming Jun- Mr tall guy. Thanks for being one of my best friend in Swiss. We played soccer together, played computer games, watched movies and did all sort of things together. I really hope we can get into the same JC! You're just a superb guy who never flare up and always helped me.

Melody- I will remember you as one of the belles in Swiss and best writer in school. It was my privelege to know and I'll never forget how we helped each other out! Shhh.. Haha. I believe you will acheive greater heights in life, by then don't forget me!!

Shaheila- You are one of the best female friends I ever had in Swiss. You are just wonderful. Such a sweet gal. Guess I can never thank you enough for the help you gave me. I remembered how I shared my troubles with you and you were there to help me. Thanks for being my friend, I really appreciate it. =)

Vivian- You are also one of the best female friend I had! You really have a outgoing personality and treat your friends really nicely! I find you a very approachable person and a great friend to have! Rocks on!

The trio- Fatin, Khairah & Khairianah. - You gals are just the sweetest in Swiss. All three of your have been wonderful friends to me! Your homework is always so good (so that I can copy) and we always help each other out in our studies. Thanks so mcuh for accompanying this journey for 4 years and I'll never forget you all!

Eric Sor- This guy has been a role model to me since sec 3! You are such an outstanding person whom I hope to emulate. Thanks for being my best friend for 2 years. You never failed to lift our spirits with your humour! You were also a great help with my studies and faith. Thanks so much for everything! I know you can achieve great things in life! I'll remember you as the one who can't play soccer!

Ismail- You are one of my bosom friends. We always played soccer together and could talked non-stop too! Thank you so much for being there when I always feeling down, offering me encouragement. I really hope to keep in touch with you!

Jiawei- Thanks for the 4 years! Although we sometimes quarrel, we still have some great memories. You were the best soccer player and probably singer in class. I hope we can still play soccer and sing together in the future!

Kelvin- Another guy I knew for 4 years! We always played soccer and games together. I remebered you always came to my house after school. We also copied homework together and even studied the same chapters in exams. Thanks for everything!

Lastly to that special someone- Though we can't be together, thank you for giving me such wonderful memories. I regretted so much for what I've done to you and hope you will forgive me someday. You will always be the best girl in my eyes. Take really good care of yourself!

Stress, Tears, Fears.

It feels so great to be back on the blogging scene. It's exactly 3 months since I blogged. Yeah, it does itch me to be restricted to reading blogs only, and at often times, unable to share many of my wild thoughts with everyone out there. Now that I've regained my precious time and freedom, I can blog for all I like!

These last 2 weeks are probably one of the hardest I've experienced. As the title suggests, I came under tremendous pressure; from exams, from family, from peers. I'm just glad everything is over now and am now savouring every second of my 3 month holidays.

Studying became a very tough thing to do then. Many at times, my perserverence was put to the test, and now I'm proud to say that I passed every single of these tests. Those hours of torrid mugging are now history, but I do really hope they will serve me well in my future studies. I just wish to forget the times that I couped myself in the room and forced myself to memorise facts. Moreover, sometimes it is a few subjects at one go. Coupled with anxiety and fear, I just felt like I'm cracking under these pressure.

If u think exam stress is bad enough, there are more. Family problems and peer pressure. I'm not cursing my luck but I choose to believe that it is an obstacle that God laid out for me. I took up His challenge and took it in my stride too. When sometimes the pressure was so overwhelming, I simply broke down. Those moments were unbearable- I thought that my heart shattered to pieces. However, I managed to pick back every single piece of it after that. I shan't go into detail what my problems are cause they are rather personal.

The moment on the evening of the 18th was a unforgettable one. I can recall how badly I wanted to finish my papers. From the history paper in the morning to the chemistry papers in the afternoon. When Mr Lim announced the end of the exams, everyone cheered loudly. I felt like as if a torrent of euphoria struck me- it was FINALLY OVER. The exams we had prepared for 4 years was over. What was funny was that I struggled to make myself to believe it. There was it- the door to 3 months of freedom was opened.

Now, I just have SO MUCH time that I dunno what to do too. Let me share with you what I did for these few days.

Friday night- Found a suitable skin for this blog.

Saturday- Soccer in the morning, shopping in the aftertoon. I spent $60 at one go. Though it seems a little to some of you, you have to earn $60 yourself to learn how to cherish it. So, please don't be a spendthrift and spend your parents' fortune. I hope to work in the coming months and earn money for myself. It is an important to being independent and finally you can earn for the stuffs you buy.

Sunday- Church in the morning and home for the rest of the day. It was great to be back in church. However I can't stay long having to accompany my younger cousins who stayed at my home. Meanwhile, my older cousin told me JJ Lin visited his gameshop in Funan Digitalife Mall. If only I could be there...

Monday- Soccer in the morning. We played from 10am to 2pm. The weather wasn't friendly cause it rained. But the slippery surface is quite fun to play on. I bruised my leg and hurted myself- thanks to goalkeeping duties. Although I do have a flair for goalkeeping, u try diving on hard ground and being hit by really hard balls. Anymore of these I'm afraid I may hurt myself badly. i don't to blast at anyone here but I'm just disgusted by selfish behaviors. People just care about themselves playing outfield because they think they are great. So weaker players like me have to sacrifice myself for a mundane goalkeeping role. How do I improve when I'm just given a few minutes and they have hours? I got myself injured each time and my outfield playing ability undermined. This ain't gonna deter my passion for soccer, I'm just accustomed to this selfish and uncaring world.

Now- I just started re-reading Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire, lol, in order to watch the movie. I have not even started reading The Half-Blood Prince! I've got all the time in the world now =).

Tommorow- I'm going over to JB to get my hair done and buy some stuffs. Its been a while since I got out of this country too.

Wednesday- I'm just excited about our Graduation Tea at Grand Hyatt hotel. I'm sure everyone's gonna look just gorgeous on that day. Moreover, I will be glad if my maiden work- our class video will be shown! Alright, stay cool and enjoy your holidays everyone!

I just wanna thank God, our Heavenly Father, for all the pleasant surprises He had planned for me today. Life is just ever meaningful with Christ living in me.

The surprises were
- I'm the only one who got full marks for the seq.
- Finally bought a extention to my earphones.
- Persuaded the guys to join me to go to Mrs Chua's house.
- Accepted Christ and was saved today.
- Man Utd beat Aston Villa 1-0
- Rejoined the team after 4 mths.
- Going to Church tml!

I just love God and Jesus so much! Gonna work SUPER hard for my prelims. I wouldn't disappoint. Endure everyone!

What a crowd...

2005-08-09T14:18:00.000+08:00

Today, we celebrate yet another milestone of nation building. Happy birthday to our beloved nation, Singapore! Being a history student, I'm fully aware of what our country had to go through to become what it is today. 40 years of stuggling, 40 years of hardship. Now we have finally achieved our target. We are one of the top cities in Asia and among the most prosperous in the region. I feel so fortunate to be part of the generation that benefits. Thank God for blessing Singapore. In this island, we are safe from any natural disaters, no Tsunamis, no Earthquakes, no Typhoon Matsa. We had even averted a disater through the arrest of JI members. To be frank with you, I just thought this is the best place to live on Earth, if you dont count the weather and examinations.

As we celebrate this wonderful occasion, let us not be complacent. We must always strive to achieve the best. What's in store for us in the future? I dont know either. However I'm certain under the great stewardship of PM Lee, we have a bright future ahead of us. I hope You and I can do things that make Singapore proud too.

My most beloved idol has to be Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew. He holds a high standing in my heart. Without him, Singapore would not have become what it is today. Today, what you see of Singapore is a result of his legacy. 40 years later, he even send his son to serve the nation. Who else would have do so much for this resourceless land? Hail MM Lee as you see him on TV today. Mr Kamal always say we are the nightmare of Malaysia, the country which was not suppose to succeed. Now, I really feel proud being a Singaporean and living here.

Back to last Saturday. The Festival Of Praise was really a experience of a lifetime for me. The feeling of being with 11,000 people, embracing God and prasining Him was undescribable. Moreover, I think it was my first time attending a rock concert. The memories kept running through my mind now. I truely look forward to FOP 2006. Well, the 6hrs of wait was certainly worth it.

Doing homework on national day sure seems to be a mundane job. I'm gonna strive for myself. Would I be on next year's speech day? Haha. Anyway, I'd successfully untied the knot in my heart. I felt of relieved now. However I think I'm gonna be tangled into another one. *Opps* :p

2005-08-05T22:26:00.000+08:00

This week is not really good for me... Just last week, I've suffered another heartbreak... I tried to bottle it up inside and it feels really sucky. I dont think my emotions in sch would betray me... Deep inside, its just the broken hearted me. I know I was to blame. For being persistent in her. Friends around me tried to convince me that its not worth it, but do they know how do I feel? I tell u, love is such a great force. For everyting that comes good, it comes bad also. I just got so disillusioned. A couple of days before, I was on the verge of breaking down, after a gruelling wait for my turn for History memory work. She wouldn't speak to me, this i understand. The feeling of being caught between a girl who dont loves u and another guy who tries to intimidate u is unbearable. Nobody would understand how I felt, they just think that I'm doing something naive and stupid. I know love is cannot be forced. If she doesnt like me, I would just have to let go. Letting go. This sounds so easy but is SO hard to do. I tried to do it many many times. BUT I cant! One party suffering is better than both. Love is about making the the one u loved feel happy. I heard umpteen times of this.

Maybe its my endless search for love that led me into this abyss. Dont blame me. When i look at other couples, I'm so envious. They'r just so lucky, to be able to be with the ones they loved. Even it wouldn't last, at least they have wonderful memories together. Whereas for me, I know i'm always the underdog. I dont possess good looks, neither any talents. But is love really about all this? Fate is cruel. It plays around with people. Perhaps I'm too immatured to talk about love. I'm not even sixteen. For those who is able to be with the guy or gal u loved, please cherish them.

I guess the love knot is never going to be untied in my heart. It hurts me terribly sometimes. On these occassions, I would think of Him, He gives me the strength i need. I'm also comforted by the fact that we are all under His Love and Care. Now, all i want is to stay focussed for the upcoming prelims and Os. Thats all i can do to salvage my secondary school stay. Today was a big blow to me... 10 marks for SBQ. Probably the result of complacency. I want to strive and work hard. I'm not a good for nothing. Believe in me. Believe that i can do it. Believe in urselfs.

Tmr I'm going to the Festival of Praise at the indoor stadium with some of e4's peeps. I'm pretty excited about the event. Its a good time to relax haha... Gonna do some maths there too. Cya! God Bless U.

racial harmony day- the aftermath

2005-07-22T21:01:00.000+08:00

hey we had so much fun yesterday! everyone would agree with me that it was probably the best racial harmony that we had =)... our class was SUPER-SPORTING! everyone wore traditional costumes, all thx to our non-chinese classmates for the costumes! I was dressed in black, haha i think it was cool... Sor wore the same shirt as me, heh we sure looked like brothers

finally we got to play rugby again. im addicted to it already! it has become one of my fav sport :p... it was really tiring when u have to sprint every moment... especially when u'r playing against the 3 most agile and fastest guys in our class, ganeash, kelvin and justin. In terms of pace, Jia Wei, Kris and I could not match them. However we still managed to thrash them. =) I scored a couple too. hah.. everyone was so exhausted after the game, Sor lied flat on the ground and the others were soaked in perspiration. I was so tired that I opt for a early sleep last night. Missed LOST for the 2nd in a row. blah!

After the E Maths test, we went down to take class photos! Earlier on, I took a couple for E6 and Ms Tay, when i said that i was late for my Maths Test, they burst into laughter. Haha. We took with Mr Ravi too! I felt guilty for not finding Mr Kamal bcuz i thought he would not be at E5, it turns out that he was. *Sigh... We could not get Ms Tay bcuz she was speaking to parents. Nevermind, afterall we had Mrs Chua and Mr Ravi! hahax. Im sicccccck of being covered in group photos! First it was at Ms Chua's wedding now and now it happened again. Haha luckily I sat at the front in the first shoot. Though I didnt take with someone, i have no regrets. I think she looked gorgeous yesterday. Well, we ALL did. Heh.

When I reminisced about my time in 4E4, I just felt very nostalgic and fortunate. I regretted not spending my time in sec 3 wisely! Now i feels so lucky being this great class. I just cant bear to leave every single of them, the day we break up, I will break down and cry without doubt. I am cherishing the moment I spends with 4E4 now, because this is the best class I ever had.

my 3 mths of bitter waiting had ended. We are talking to each other once again, I hope this would not change. Lastly, have a nice weekend everyone. I know life's tough and it sucks bigtime right now. Hold on and we will get over this together. cause God is always with us, guiding us and giving us the strength to carry on.

Thee shall not fall

*logged in* -- Shadyz ---

These few days has been tiring for everyone... I'm so exhausted, physically and mentally. Every day has the same routine. My handphone will wake me up, and sometimes i nearly flung it away. Wash up. Go to sch. Yeah its a mundane thing we have been doing for ten years, theres no escaping from - provided if u'r going to a poly. The plus point for us is, the air con. I would rather be cold than hot, haha. I'm sleeping late recently, and these dreadful acnes are coming to haunt me again. I just bought OXY 5, perhaps i should drink more herbal tea too. However, the dark rings under my eyes still remains.

Coming back from a long sch day, I use the computer, depending on the time left and assignments on that day, the length in front of the monitor varies. 7pm to 8pm is my free time, I need Tong Xing Yuan to let down my nerves. From 8pm to 12am, its either doing homework or revsion. This is the life I'm gonna to have for the next 3 months. I'll have to restock my Nescafe coffee soon i reckon... Sometimes when I'm really really exhausted, I would just take a break, then pray to God to give me the strength to pull it thro'. He is my source of energy. Sometimes even I'm depressed or down in spirits, I would pray to Him. Besides God, music is my other source of energy. Musics perks me up, and give me the rhythm to do my work. If I've got the time, then I would take out the bible to read. This usually dont last long because I would doze off soon.

I shan't carry on because i really need to my work. Shadyz signing off. *signal lost*

Overcoming obstacles

2005-07-15T20:46:00.000+08:00

I started my day with a fresh and enthusiatic mind... life couldnt be better with Him in my life... on the other hand, i was wondering how the others would react to my new religion. I think it was certainly well-recieved, given the fact that our class have a large Christian population...

i finally overcame vectors after much stuggle with this chapter. a hell of a fight it is Maybe they are correct in some way. Sometimes i am really slow. For vectors, i couldn't comprehend the logic during lessons. Firstly, i was distracted. Unfinished homework and Deception Point did me in. Secondly, my mind seems to possess a different impression of vectors. In my physics exams, i never knew how to do a vector MCQ. Perhaps thats what i fear of these lines with arrows. In the end, i understood everything after all. Sometimes your true ability is compromised by your lack of self confidence. People always say Chemistry is hard, but when you really seek to enjoy and learn it, it isnt what you think in the first place. Just like competing with your opponents, always believe you have the chances to beat them. Dont concede defeat before the battle starts. Even you are competing with Eric Sor with writing essays, believe in yourself u can beat him.

On the contrary, over confidence or complacency is fatal too. Even you are the world's best, you must treat your opponents equally. Isnt Tiger Woods a classic example? Vijay Singh is stepping over him right now. I think we should all learn from Roger Federer, who just won a 3rd consecutive wimbledon. He is one of the few great sportsman whom i knew is very humble. Arrogance would lead you to doom, and few friends too.

Right now, im a self-confessed P & C lover... P & C stands for Permutation and Combination, at first I thought it would be hard when Mrs Chua taught us. Once you get the gist of it, everything would not be hard. Trust me. I spent hours studying how to do SS SBQs and SEQs and learning how to graspe the right skills. Right now, I'm on a roll doing them. The only obstacles i have now is Geography and Physics, which i believe i can deal with them. Have faith in me. A few weeks later, i would be posting "i've overcame Physics and Geog".. Haha

Thank you Father, for being being an inspiring part of my life. You have directed and guided me back in the right path. You are the love of my life right now and i will forever adore You. In the name of Christ i pray. Amen.

I've found the path

2005-07-14T20:06:00.000+08:00

sometimes, i just wonder my existance on this world

the scars of a painful childhood haunts me up till today, and doing badly in secondary sch... I'm not a good looking guy, neither did i do well for my exams, i do not have many (or no)achievements to date... i often look at others enviously, and wonder if only i could be like them

however i'm a fighter, i would never concede defeat and raise the white flag. rather than leaving my life in turmoil, i turn to Him. It has not been an easy task making this decision. afterall, i was not born in a christian family. i doubt anyone in my family would agree to my conversion. i beg to differ. i think i'm old enough to choose my religion. i was lost and disillusioned. God took me in under His care. His glory, His righteouness, His love inspired me in awe. I need this religion and faith badly.

i believe my decision will mean a change for the better for my life. I want to be under His guidance for the rest of my life. I want my life to be meaningful, I dun want to live in the shadows anymore.

its just 2 months to prelims, im already exhuasted and fatigued... i believe i will find strength from His teachings to perservere and i will see light at the end of the day. Whatever it takes, im gonna fight for my chance to NJC next year. Mr Kamal just gave us a pep talk yesterday which came at just the right time. I can vividly remember the first lesson we had with him, "The A1s are already in your pockets, its up to you whether you can keep it" and he also showed us the top JCs in spore. yeah, he is the Polys' no. 1 enemy. My dream is to take Mr Kamal's path, not bcuz of him but my interest. I hope to take history in JC, den pursue history and political science in University. Be a politician? I doubt so.

tmr's listening compre and i've yet to dig my ears... The end of week 3 is approaching... Stop slacking now! I've planned to revise several chapters this week and to get some precious sleep... Dark rings are forming under my eyes, pimples are so annoying! Moreover, its so cold and chilling in our classroom... On monday, there was even condensation on the windows! i reckon this is good preparation for us to live in temperate countries.

ericsoraus still owes me "reparations", dont worry. I wouldnt coerce you into signing an unfair treaty. Hes been out of cash since playing pool i think haha...

" Lord God, thank you taking me under Your guidance. I want to turn from my way of life and follow Jesus. I invite Jesus into my heart as the Lord of my life. Thank you, Father, for giving me new life in the name of Jesus. Amen!"

2005-06-26T21:45:00.000+08:00

to a certain extent im looking foward to sch just like mr sor... im pretty much excited to study in an air-con room!! that gives us less reasons to slack... speaking of slacking, that is wad i've been doing these few days... come the sch term, im gonna focus on studying.. yeah there comes the crucial period.. 10 weeks to prelims... im not daunted by the pressure, but im excited. i wanna do my best so i can get into the JC i wan, i wanna get my L1R5 halved. yeah, u'r gonna do ur best no matter what cuz it concerns ur future. the little piece of cert u'r taking next march.

MT and eng oral exams coming subsequently in the coming weeks... nonetheless i will be freaked out. dun worry however, i'll take it as a challenge. "to overcome fear, u have to become fear". well, theres plenty of challenges waiting for us in life, school is just 1 which every 1 have to face it.

i reckon this post is gonna be my last. no going to have much time bloggin ya see... take care every1 and study hard =)

2005-06-20T14:57:00.000+08:00

I got the white one.

2005-06-20T14:23:00.000+08:00

I'm feelin really tired and exhausted... probably 5 days of fun brought too much fatigue on me... actually its bcuz i swam too much yesterdae... added with the gym's workouts... no wonder my muscles r aching like hell...

haha today was really stupid.. i made a blunder about the lessons' time... when i reached sch, den i realised that i had just missed chem and phy lessons... its even more funny bcuz i told eric sor the wrong time and he missed it too.. [actually he overslept]... he even said the timetable was behind him..

i felt dumb and joined them at mac's for breakfast.. had the $2 sausage mcmuffin plus coffee... big breakfast is actually a scam... add some scrambled egg and hash brown to my meal and it makes a big breakfast meal already.... they were commenting that the jam, magarine and styrofoam costs $3.30.... yeah.. add the plastic fork and spooon too.. it just coincides with 1 article i read in the papers... the writer was saying she was furious about a incident which if she bought the bread and ingredients seperately it would just cost $3... however the staff insisted it was $3.80 as it comes as a set... this shows how restaurants try to cheat our money... erm its a rather famous french restaurant... +)

we slacked at mac's for a hour plus... practically stranded with nowhere to go.. i suggested going to creative's hq cuz i wanna get the earphones and jiawei wanted to go as he wanted to see the mp3 players.... eric sor just woke up and we asked him to join us.. eric chng went home to take his faulty zen micro for service... So we went to JE and accompanied Sor for his LJS breakfast... den the 4 of us walked a long way to Creative's HQ...

The place's really nice... Its pretty spacious too.. however it dun draw many ppl there... Zen micros and Neeons r all over the place... We went around testing the players and admiring them... i got a really expensive earphone... those zen micro kind which looks like ipod's... i got a dollar's change from a blue note... looks my pocket had been burned a really big hole.. Chng got a brand new player! creative really serves their customers well... well done Mr Sim.. we also tested a really good pair of headphones... the sound quality was really good but the price wasnt... $89 bucks! after that i felt really tired and went home to blog..

eric sor said he wished he had an aunt like mine... i hope i had a brain like his.
