Bean's Holiday! | 7:35 AM

Watched it today with Yong Sheng and KT before going to gym. School ended at about 1.30, then gym training was at 5. =.=

Good points: Funny! It actually has a storyline, for once! Interesting how they incorporated certain elements. Quite interesting.

Bad points: Very rushed, and ending was, well, kinda lame.

However, i didn't like it much.

Score: 6.5/10
Verdict: Brave step out, but still , movie could be more detailed and longer. Ending should be more "nice"

At gym, the RJ people were they. Kenneth went also. However, nobody else turned up except for Ben Low. Coach didn't come too.

A very evil thing i've done today: Played HP games in class using Jun yang's phone. Ancient Empires! [something like Advance Wars, Wesnoth, etc] Me, pat and Gabriel played. for dunno what reason, we killed gabriel first. Actually, Pat was losing. Then i allied with him to kill Gabriel :P So he pulled out, then i went to kill Gabriel.

After finishing gabriel off, all my troops were damaged, while Pat had a huge amount of troops. Dang!

We played during maths to Chinese period :D

I have also found out that rumours are FREAKING ANNOYING. especially about crushes and stuff. I don't have one currently, okay??

Never meant to be; | 7:15 AM

The Ghost of You and Me by BB Mak

What am I supposed to do
With all these blues
Haunting me, everywhere, no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will this night be over

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by
Phantom ships, lost at sea
And one of them is mine
Raising my glass, I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I wonder why
The stars don't seem to guide me

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

The ghost of you and me
When will it set me free
I hear the voices call
Following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul

Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go When will the night be over
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery

I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

Move along | 8:31 AM

Thanks to Wei Xuan for sending me the song Move Along by the All American Rejects!

Today was a busy busy and screwed day.

Time Table:

School from 7.30-1.40. Ended with philosophy CCT which was kinda scary and stupid. Everyone finished in like 20 minutes, and with the rest of the class sleeping for like the next 15 minutes, I decided to join into the ever-so-addictive slumberland!

Met Ms Koh and some other RIPC members over the advance training module thingy. Now, with one more programme on Saturdays, i'm going to be busy and busier already.

Saturdays will be like this.

Morning! Training from 8.30 to 12.30.
Afternoon! Photo Training from 1 to 3.30
Afternoon! Guitar Lesson from 4-5!
Night! Grandmother's house from 7 onwards.

So theoretically, i have only 2 hours of rest on Saturdays. Perrfectly screwed. Still, i'm not complaining. Yet.

After school which we got piled with homework, went to Chinese tuition from 3.30-5.30. Took cab back thereafter.

I had Replacement class for TLL at 7.30 to 9.30. Thank goodness that homework doesnt have to be handed up tomorow.

Short post, sorry. It's 11.40!

But you don't know who I am | 7:19 AM

Did shit for Trampoline today.

Pressure builds around me.

Everyone says so. The seniors, the coaches, everyone says that this is the year WE can get the GOLD for RI Tramp C Div. The one they haven't won in a few billion years. The coveted trophy that we can get our hands on for the very first time.

And the captain is yours truly.

Nervous doesn't describe me. Freaking hell nervous describes me.

I can't help but feel i'll screw up. I know i can get an individual bronze, silver, or even gold. It's in me somewhere, but when pressure mounts, that feeling just goes away and my legs crumple into nothing at all.

Daojie said that we need to WANT the gold. we cannot just chase for it, we have to crave for it, to desire it, and do whatever we can to obtain that trophy, so we have to get our results tip top, and put in our 1000000 % in our routines whenever possible.

Also, pride is at stake. We are not representing ourselves, or our team, but our SCHOOL. That coveted green black white colours. We are representing RI, the oldest school in Singapore, and as captain, it's seriously quite mind boggling.

The team layout this year is one of the best we can have, and i can't afford to screw up any chances that we can grab.

Milton, with his ability to cope with other unexpected factors.
Leonard, with his focus.
Yuan Hao, with his extraordinary height and control of his own body.
Kwun Tong, with his squeaky clean routines and impressive moves.
And Yours Truly, with his extraordinary ability to screw things up.

Jordan said, "Own Matthew! [my brother]"

But i think that it's not about beating anybody this time around, but it's beating myself. As from Spiderman 3, "The greatest battle lies within." and i need to beat that inconfident, screw-things-up Michael.

I need to believe in myself more.

Coach said, "Nobody is expecting you to get individual!"

He's wrong.

I'm expecting myself to.

iEmo | 7:22 AM

feeling pretty tired + irritated + frustrated right now. don't feel like blogging about today's events. Let's just play a song, to drown all of our sorrows.

Vindicated by Dashboard Confessionals

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of which has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

[Chorus]

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thinJust one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current and let me slip away [4x]

[Chorus]

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

I've learnt how to forgive today. Thank you Lord, for giving me that power.

I feel 40 kinds of sadness, when you're gone. Time passes so slow when you're not around.

Two giants! | 7:37 AM

accomplished! with coach's help!

hahha.

Today was tramp training + High Bar.

Tramp Training took up like 3 whole hours. Hooray! :D Did about 5 Tests altogether. weird thing is, i got 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.5, 7.7.

I wanted to get 7.6, but alas, the pattern did not agree with me. Hiss.

WARNING.

DAMMIT! I SAID THE F WORD!

DAMMIT.

1st Time: P2.
Reason: Someone dared me to, and i didn't understand the meaning of it.
Pok says it's not counted.

2nd Time: P4
Reason: Got so pissed at Yong Han, because he was being such a total ass by bending the rules and acting like a huge show off. Shouted "freaking ****er!"
hehe. He's not that bad anymore.

3rd Time: Secondary Two! TODAY.
Reason: After doing 2 freaking scary giants, fell into the pit about shoulder first. Got Stuck. Shouted for help 3 times, and no one heard me. Tried to struggle out, but failed and got deeper i think. Was freaking pissed, and said "what the ****" when i went deeper in a moment of rash. Thankfully, Yingjie saw i was stuck and pulled me out. Realised i said it after i "surfaced"

Ruijie claims i have sinned. hehe.

i know i have. lord, please forgive me.

Keep it cool | 7:32 AM

FROM THE DESK OF MR SAMBA IBRAHIM BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA
FASO TELEPHONE NUMBER 00226 78 89 36 60

Dear Friend,

I crave your indulgence for the unsolicited nature of this letter, but it was borne out of desperation and current development. please bear with me.

My name is Mr Samba Ibrahim, an Auditor of African Development Bank I discovered existing dormant account for 5 years. When I discovered that there had been no continuation nor withdrawals from this account for this long period and our banking law stipulates that any un serviceable account for more than 5 years will go into the bank revenue as an unclaimed fund. I have made personal inquiries about the depositor and his next of kin but sadly, the depositor and his next of kin died in motor accident while the rest of the family died in Iraq during the crisis,I only made this investigation just to be double sure of this fact and since I have been unsuccessful in locating the Relatives.

I seek your consent to Present yourself as the next of kin of the deceased. As an auditor in the bank I will use my position in the bank to help you becoming the next of kin to the estate, so that the proceeds of this account valued at $25.6 million dollars can be transfered to you, this is the story in a nutshell. Now I want an account overseas where the bank will transfer this funds. Thereafter, I will come for the sharing and investment, also to use part of the money to help the Iraqians, It is a careful network and for the past eleven months I have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation.

Now my questions are:-
1. Can you handle this project?
2. Can I give you this trust?

Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible, All what I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through, I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, please get in touch with me by my e-mail to enable me outline to you the strategies on how to go about this, You may also send your phone number so that I can call you.

Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the necessary attention, urgency as well as the secrecy it deserves, also send to me your personal information, to enable me send to you official text of application.

I Expect your urgent response if you can handle this project. also call me.

Respectfully yours,
MR SAMBA IBRAHIM
Telephone:00226 78 89 36 60

Today was Special Program Day 1!

I was designated Photographer for the event. wootez.

I took English, by the way. We went to this Asian Films Archive place, which was somewhere near Orchard Road. We took about 45 minutes to get there though >_>

The start of the tour was pretty boring, however. We looked through some weird documents, and saw how to operate this cool microfilm machine.

The second part was more interesting. We went up and saw how they conserved the documents, like they used Nitrogen Gas to fumigate the papers, put it in Magnesium Bicarbonate [an alkali] to neutralize any type of acid that can possibly damage the papers. We also saw the old old tapes and films being played, which was rather interesting despite the fact that the speaker was rather boring.

The 3rd part was controversial. It was a talk cum presentation of films in Singapore. Some of the old films we presented were really, dead boring and i felt like sleeping on the spot. Josiah did, though. One of the videos was titled "Sunshine Singapore." What was it about?

SUNSHINE AND SINGAPORE!

literally.
oh, so you knew that already?

The later part was more fun. We saw more exerpts of modern videos and films, including Money Not Enough, The Maid, etc etc. I'm still so proud of the fact i didn't fall asleep.

On the Bus Ride back.
Scenario: I am sitting next to Jonathan, who is listening to my mp3 using one earphone while i use the other. Playing rather loud music. I am about to sleep.

Jonathan [J]: Wah Lao, Michael! I'm sure you can sleep like this!
Me: Watch Me.
J:Fine!

After turning about and fidgeting and adjusting the *&@!#@@( aircon [ which, Mush nearly froze to death of] i finally fell asleep. When we reached RI,

Me: HA!
Jonathan: Finee.

As we reacehd RI at about 2pm[which was the earliest among all the groups], we were dismissed. I had about 2 hours to kill. So, being lame, me and jonathan started walking around the whole of RI to kill time. We walked to the canteen to eat lunch [which jonathan wasted food], then walked to the Softball Diamond because of yours truly's undying curiosity, then to Admin Block to look for teachers to donate money to the Boys Brigade [Jonathan's idea]. then, we walked to junior block and to Raja Block, where i subsequently dragged Jonathan to RJC to go to 7-11. After wasting 5 minutes deciding on what drink to buy, i finally bought a slurpee :) and went back to RI. where jonathan incidentally decided to be so lame as to steal my handphone for the fun of it.

I decided to Dao him. He gave it back. hehe.

All or Nothing | 11:36 PM

Sweat drips down your hands and palms, making your grips slippery. The thick scent of chalk permeates the air which your breath heavily. Your eyes peer down, only to see what seems to be thousands of feet below. You nervously adjust your grip, but it does no good to calm your raging nerves down. The caterpillars in your stomach seem have already fully grown, and your guts feel like spilling out.

It's time.

With a silent prayer, you muster all your courage and swing off the precious bar, with only your clammy hands to cling on. The ground instantly races towards you at breckneck speed. Your body accelerates, and everything seems blur. Simultaneously, your hands slip off. The stick is the only thing that is protecting you from flying off. Your mind is blank.

You're past the middle. Your view is changed to the ceiling. Your hands suddenly find their grip back as you decelerate. You unknowingly have swung into a handstand. You look down. A metal bar and possibly hundreds of sponge cubes waving up at you, signifying your success.
it's all or nothing in gym.
--


well, at least that's how i felt while doing GIANTS.

hahaha. First time without straps with coach's protection. Pretty freaky i would say, especially the descent. I took 3 attemps to do a proper giant

These following actions have been performed by a gym noob person and should not be attempted by anyone unless under specific instructions or supervision. You have been warned.

First Try: Didn't swing back so far, and i kicked early. The result? I couldn't hand on and flew in front like a mini back-somersault and landed neck first into the sponge pit. Woops.

Second try: Didnt swing back so far again, but this time i kicked at the correct time. Didn't use enough force. As i couldn't go up, i should have let go at the front. However, i didn't. The Result? I let go while i was swing backwards and i flipped forwards and landed body first, like a face drop into the sponge pit.

Yay for sponge pits!

However, on my successful giant [3rd try], when i pushed off, my leg went into the sponge pit and mysteriously received a cut. O_O tell me that it's possible, someone?

Boo for sponge pits!

Got made C Div Tramp Captain. hmm

Power of Forgiveness | 8:23 AM

Read it in the New Paper.

The amazing power.

of forgiveness.

Quote:

"He asked her to forgive him. And there was a lot to forgive. He had

a)driven after drinking
b)crashed into her husband, killing him
c) tried to get away in a passing car

she agreed. Despite her anguish, anxiety and anger. The 36 year old housewife had lost the man she loved, and his modest income as a garbage collector, which is all she and their infant son had to live on.

She said that she thought about how her son had lost his father. If the offener was jailed, his family will also lose his father.

Simply phenomenal. I wonder if all of us can do that. Let's say, for example, a murderer comes into your house, and kills, let's say, your parents intentionally. Later, he gets caught, and what does he do? Yep, he pleads for mercy to you. To you.

Now, in this case, what would you do? Personally, i'm still thinking about it.

To live like Christ, or to go with your emotions? It's seriously hard to define what is right and wrong on this one-way street of ours today.

After training, MC, Wenqi and Gabriel came over to do our geography project. Of course, wenqi was mad about dota, so he played on one com while we i did on the other. Of the whole project, i think i did about 80 % of everything currently. Hmph slackers. The rest were too interested in DotA. Tsk tsk.

WENQI AND GABRIEL ARE DOTA NOOBS.

you didn't see anything.

Went to some teochew restaurant later to celebrate my brother's 19th birthday. Happy Birthday Matt!

Also, Happy birthday to MH! and to PATRICK! and to MING CHAN! who's birthday's are 16th , 17th and 18th of march respectively. have a belated 14th birthday people!

Lastly, congratulations to Teacher Eugene and Teacher Karen who are getting married tomorow! [on 17th March] About time, don't you think? ;)

Gym Camp! | 7:37 AM

Asforementioned [is that how it's spelt?], this post is about Gym Camp!

1st Day

Lugged everything to the Gym Locker Room.
After the training, went to Junction 8 Macs for some quick Lunch. Wasn't feeling very hungry, so gave up 2 bucks for a McChicken, which is one of the burgers im not sian of. I reckon, Macs should get a wider variety of burgers, especially in the BreakFast menu.

We bunked in at the 2 classrooms, 1M and 1P at the Junior Block. Carpeted sehh. and also got nice aircon. Too bad the floor got alot of staple bullets.

We played Whacko!, which was meant to introduce the secondary ones to the gym members. Throughout the game, we shouted stupid stuff.

"JONATHAN!"

when nobody's name was jonathan. Then the secondary ones were like, Who's that? I was having fun shouting "MICHAEL!" and pointing to some random guy. hohoho. evil me.

After that was tramper's trainings, which included me. Couldn't play Captain's Ball.

For Dinner, we had chicken rice. It was with alot of bones. Urgh.

We had some weird Team Talk after that, discussing about our goals, vision, major events and outings. We kept interupting while Seng Henk was talking till he got pissed. Woops.

Team Challenge was after that. It's basically a treasure hunt where teams will race around the school at night and find certain clues. It was kinda cool, with some freaky places visited like the entrance to the Weather Station. Milton cheated, and of course knew where the clues were. He got punished for that though. Hehe sucker. It was kinda freaky with the darkness at all.

Couldnt sleep that night. Forgot to bring my sleeping bag out of the gym, and was freezing to death. Thanks to pok who let me use his sleeping bag. Of course, he froze too.

Day 2

Woke up with sores at most areas. Stupid floor and aircon. Woke up like 5 times at night.

After lunch, there was this Amazing Gymnast's race. It was like another treasure hunt, but it took outside of school. We divided into different teams. My team was Leonard, Yuan Hao and I. We got a free 10 dollar to use on transportation fees. We allied with Ren Hao and KT's team, because the other teams also allied. hmph.

It was quite funny, as we took the lead. We tricked them by pretending to be lagging behind them, while we were ahead of them. Evil us. We went to some gym locations like CCAB, Bishan Gym, etc. Pretty predictable, but not bad.

Funny thing was, those that had afternoon tramp training all finished first. Heh.

After training + dinner, we watched this movie called Stick It!
Haley Graham is aformer gymnast turned juvenile delinquent whom is forced to enroll at VGA, an elite gymnast academy. But rebellious Haley is not welcomed into the academy by other teenage gymnasts whom despise her for walking out on her junior olympic team years before. Likewise she makes every effort to retaliate. The Coach takes it upon himself to coach the talented Haley in his own way to make her change her attitude.

Pretty interesting, but more of talks about how Haley Changes, not about Gym. Still, it's prety interesting :D

After the sec ones vacated the room, they started playing Borat. No comments.

Slept better that night, with the inclusion of my sleeping bag and a revised pillow.

Day 3

back still pain.

We went to East Coast Park after training, where we basically spent 2 hours riding bicycle. Seng han was being stupid, by purposely showing off his skills at controlling his bike by riding without using his hands and almost "crashing" into other people by deliberately swerving into their paths. He made 3 people fall down, and 15 others almost fall down. However, pure pwnage pok owned everyone by chasing up while eating an ICE CREAM. Riding while eating. pwnage seh.

Milton, Amos and Yu Xuan allegedly caught a fish by pulling it out. Hmmm.

Left when the barbeque started. DANG IT.

sigh. Was looking forward to the nice nice food.

Gym Camp! | 7:37 AM

Asforementioned [is that how it's spelt?], this post is about Gym Camp!

1st Day

Lugged everything to the Gym Locker Room.
After the training, went to Junction 8 Macs for some quick Lunch. Wasn't feeling very hungry, so gave up 2 bucks for a McChicken, which is one of the burgers im not sian of. I reckon, Macs should get a wider variety of burgers, especially in the BreakFast menu.

We bunked in at the 2 classrooms, 1M and 1P at the Junior Block. Carpeted sehh. and also got nice aircon. Too bad the floor got alot of staple bullets.

We played Whacko!, which was meant to introduce the secondary ones to the gym members. Throughout the game, we shouted stupid stuff.

"JONATHAN!"

when nobody's name was jonathan. Then the secondary ones were like, Who's that? I was having fun shouting "MICHAEL!" and pointing to some random guy. hohoho. evil me.

After that was tramper's trainings, which included me. Couldn't play Captain's Ball.

For Dinner, we had chicken rice. It was with alot of bones. Urgh.

We had some weird Team Talk after that, discussing about our goals, vision, major events and outings. We kept interupting while Seng Henk was talking till he got pissed. Woops.

Team Challenge was after that. It's basically a treasure hunt where teams will race around the school at night and find certain clues. It was kinda cool, with some freaky places visited like the entrance to the Weather Station. Milton cheated, and of course knew where the clues were. He got punished for that though. Hehe sucker. It was kinda freaky with the darkness at all.

Couldnt sleep that night. Forgot to bring my sleeping bag out of the gym, and was freezing to death. Thanks to pok who let me use his sleeping bag. Of course, he froze too.

Day 2

Woke up with sores at most areas. Stupid floor and aircon. Woke up like 5 times at night.

After lunch, there was this Amazing Gymnast's race. It was like another treasure hunt, but it took outside of school. We divided into different teams. My team was Leonard, Yuan Hao and I.

Risen | 6:46 AM

Today was an eventful day, so much to say at least.

The Risen performed today [In His Time and Shepherd of My Soul] for both EAF and CAF. I think we did better for the CAF, because the EAF was totally different setting because someone changed everything and removed my chair. Thus, i had to kneel and my leg was suffering from lack of blood. I was limping around with my leg all numb with pain.

Also, my great-grandmother passed away just about 5 hours ago. They're just gone over so fast. I'm just rather still in a state of shock, because it just came over the telephone. One minute i was playing computer, the next I was told.

"Mike, An Zhou [is it how that's spelt?] passed away a few moments ago."

I'm just glad my family took it rather well. The children were okay, just to say the least, but i'm worried about my mother. I think she took it rather hard. Still, i'm proud of my whole family [extended too!] that we're able to accept the fact that she was old [just reached her 98th birthday] and one day, she had to leave.

However, the biggest bugging factor about me that she was still not a Christian. Of course, we tried reaching out to her, but i guess she was too stubborn to listen. Now that she's died, i wonder whether her soul is at home with the Lord, or at another faraway place...

Good thing was, she passed away in her sleep. Like my father said, "Without pain or sickness." That's another good thing to thank the Lord about, i suppose.

Rest in Peace. But when the Time Comes, which side will you be standing on?

Anyway, on a slightly higher note, tomorow is gym camp! yay. First time attending one, and I hope it's gonna be fun. However, 3 trainings in a row and 3 day 2 night camp eats up most of my time, and i think i'm going to be studying studying studying for the next few March Holidays. Also, with the funeral wake and all, that's about 4 days taken. Hope the teachers will understand though.

I think i'll be away for the next 2 days. Till then, continue visiting this blog and tag!

PS: Happy Birthday Jiayun!

We will always remember you in our hearts-

Sunday School Teacher Training! | 6:29 AM

Well, it was kinda fun, except that we were all treated like kids.

After training [which i left early :P], i went to the People's Bible Church for some sunday school teacher training.

My father thought that it was at Calvary Bible Church whom he was "very sure of where" it was. however, it was the wrong place. Thus, we got to the wrong place and ended up 20 minutes late. Woops.

It was pretty okay, altogether. Thaddeus, Dew, Teacher Esther and Auntie Choon Bee went as well. They had pretend us to be children, and teach us the procedures.

a) What can be learnt for the non-christian children?
b) What can be learnt for the christian children?
c) Is the message clear?

Didn't eat for breakfast. Chomped down one special type of cake [the layered gooey type] and a muffin. Yums. Also ate a bowl of instant noodles at Chen lao Shi's house. yay :D

You and Me by Lighthouse

When you're close to tears remember
Some day it'll all be over
One day were gonna get so high
And though its darker than december
Whats ahead is a different colour
One day were gonna get so high
And at
The end of the day
We'll remember the days
We were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through
And atThe end of the day
Well remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
We'll remember it was me and you
cause we are gonna be forever you and me
Youll always keep me flying high in the sky of love
Dont you think its time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day were gonna get so high
cause even the impossible is easy
When we got each other
One day were gonna get so high
And at The end of the day
We'll remember the days
We were close to the edge
And well wonder how we made it through
And at The end of the day
We'll remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
We'll remember it was me and you
cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love
High, high, high, high...

Never wanna let you go | 6:50 AM

Today was an emotional roller coaster rush.

We shall do this in the style of the CLE emolog. *2A choruses with sounds of "EMO!" and slashing sounds"*

Morning
Mood: Bad. Worried.
Possible Reasons: Think i flunked my english test.
Intensity: 8/10
Effect on others: -

English test was so darn weird! I think i wrote too little. GGXXXXXXX to me.

Afternoon
Mood: Happy!
Possible Reasons: Got into top 8 for long jump! Jumped a total distance of 4.52m, which according to Ruijie beat Pok's score [he got 4.47] hehe tyco me.
Intensity: 7/10
Effect on others: +

Of course, Shaufiq got 1st with a distance of 6.08. Yes, 6.08. Of course, he broke the school record, as usual. Adib got second! he beat some other tracker guy. His distance was about 4.9. Brilliant by any standards. Beat the third guy through default. Adib had 3 good jumps. The guy who got third faulted once, so got 2 jumps only. So Adib got second! booyea. I got 6th, btw. Pretty good for a non-tracker and a person going for long jump heats for the first time in his life.
egoegoego :P

Late Afternoon [during gym]
Mood: Frustrated, tired, angry, moody, irritated, super pissed, depressed.
Intensity: 1000000/10
Effect on others: -----

Even Yu Xuan [Sec 1 junior!] said i looked depressed. I was freaking tired after the meet and the coach wanted me to do Giants on the horizontal bar by myself [using straps]. When i failed to do so [funny =/ used to be able. think i too tired :D] he told Xavier. Translated into English:
See! Your B'Div still cannot do!

I felt like punching him in the face.

The only good thing about the gym training was that Youzi came! with her SMU friends.

Superman (It's Not Easy)
~Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird:
I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face
beside a train and
It's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home
I'll never see I
It may sound absurd
but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
but won't you concede
Even Heroes have the right to dream
but It's not easy to be me

Up, up and away
away from me
It's all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy:or anything:
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
More than a man looking for a dream
Only a man in a funny red sheet
It's not easy to be me.

btw, Thanks to Ruijie for "fetching" me from RJC to the gym. haha.
Thanks to JiaXuan and Fitri! who gave us support for long jump as well. Thanks guyss.
Special mention to Jiaxuan for lending me Spiderman 2.

Wondering where you are now-

Science Test results!

Not very good by class standard.

17/20. Class average was about 18-19 i think =/ Well, at least we beat Miss Liew's class! wahahaha. Her class average was about 16 marks.

So, 8/10 [practical] + 17/20 [Quiz] = 25/30. Okay la.

My science starting to suck already. oh noes.

1 more day to go guys! till the march holidays and well-deserved break for all from school life. btw, there's U14 Long Jump tomorow. Bet i'm gonna get like 0.5 m or sth and break some loser record :P

Fake a smile... | 6:02 AM

Today Mrs Chew YY didn't come for TLL, so we had this SPASTIC and HYPERACTIVE and "CRAZY" replacement teacher, which was of course entertaining. She now teaches Adi

When she came in, she talked while she bounced. She also flapped her hands and started jumping about like a small little boy on a sugar rush.

I asked her :"Did you eat chocolate or sugar?"

Not saying anything bad of course, but she actually used certain vulgarities like "F***" and "B****" and even used "frickin' etc etc" wah, this teacher so "hip" and knowledgeable in terms of the swear words.

She's also rather critical, and has a sadistic sense of humour. She can make anybody look bad. She also employs certain martial arts movements while saying "sosososo!" or "xoxoxox!"

We watched a video of the Arena [NYGH vs UWC]
It was rather interesting, and for good answers, she gave out gummies. By the 1st speaker, she said I was going to get diabetes.

Also, we also played taboo at the end of the game. The winner would take home the entire pack. We won by a small amount, and since nicholas didn't want any, i had the packet to myself. :D Another girl from the later class complained to the teacher. "Why you let him take?"

Hehehe. tyco me.

By the way, it's gummy pigs, so they look fat and cute. Ironic thing is, the sweet is 99% fat free. Hmmmm.

My father had to go sign some document in a one-north showflat, which was of course absolutely cool and high-tech and pretty, with the nice carpeted floors and cushy cushions. Dam Nice i tell you. No shoes were allowed inside.

Tomorow is CEC investiture! Bring your ties guys! Also, congratulations to Jun Yang, who got appointed Level I/C! pro seh pro seh.

Furthermore, Congratulations to Jia Xuan and Jun Yang! they have won many many many nice prizes in multiple events, and Jia Xuan actually broke the school record for U14 High Jump! Zomgut zomgut.

Rock on!

pure pyrotechnic powered pok | 6:04 AM

Congrats to Pok!!

WHO GOT SECOND FOR HIGH JUMP. aiya no surprise.

but at least you owned the TRACKERS. :) no offence, though.

i find dao-ing people can sometimes be more effective then biting back when they insult you. Isn't that simply right, Mush? The web can be a powerful thing, yet carefully choosing your words can be another.

by the way, the american constitutional law does not apply in Singapore, fyi.

Got back our Maths + Chinese CCT results Today! didn't do that bad this time round. Hope i can say the same for Science and the rest.

Legal Disclaimer: IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO LOOK, DONT LOOK.

Maths : 27/30
Woot! Got so relieved after seeing my score. Of course, muggers like Huan Hui and Yee shing [i'm not against muggers, it's just a term used by yours truly to people who study really hard, and of course, deserve it] got Full marks of 29 +. Ming Chan [aka mugger chan] got full marks, but really, no surprise. They all really deserved their great marks :) Lin Sen was complaining because he minused half mark due to him not putting some measurement thingy, while i didn't fully do that and i still got the mark. hehe :P
PS: Patrick, don't feel bad okay?

Chinese: 44/60
Pretty okay, accidentally wooped when i saw my score. About 73.3 Marks upon 100. Decent [3.6] and pretty good overall [above average! i think. for me that's an achievement, okay?] My Comprehension was pretty bad though :D

Yay!

History Test tomorow. Thank goodness it's open book, because i simply can't seem to mug after my CCTs. Good Luck, all!

Internet went downnnn today. Restarted it. SORRY PATRICK! couldn't send you that mac blogskin that you wanted.
Congratulations to All Prize Winners!

when you're not around; | 6:09 AM

T-3 minutes till i get banned off the computer, for no apparent reason.

Legal Disclaimer
The blog owner has a mortal fear of lawyers and demons and what he is presenting next will cause him to be hunted down by many evil demons, like Mush, who will try to kill him. Please help him in any way possible.

today, KWUN TONG AND MUSH KISSED. on the lips.

SICK.

no, they arent gay or anything. But it really questions me on their sexuality O_O Louis would like to renact this i bet.

they banned the use of handphone and graphic-capturing devices. Shayan scared Mush by taking out his handphone, but didn't take it. But that didn't stop Mush from dao-ing Shayan and attituding him.

Next time, if KT gets a girlfriend, i'll tell her that his first kiss was with a boy. Like ZOMGUT. i bet she'll dump him or sth. :D

Today for gym, ruijie/pok/zeb ponned for heats. PONNERS!

Now, i'm getting kicked off the computer because my father, who has simply "no reason", wants me to get off for no particular reason. FOR NO REASON at all? i used to be able to use the computer after 10, but now he wants it to stop because he claims I "play too much" I don't actually use the computer only from 8.10-8.30, which is like 20 minutes a day. which is little, for me.

for no reason at all.

played using his imac, which is a 20 inch screen with a processor integrated into it. Way way way cool. Suan-ed patrick using it :D

I still don't like Mac Keyboards.

Happy Birthday to all those that fall on this day! 2 people i know share the same birthday [Zheng Yang and Chern Hwee] SO CONGRATULATIONS!!
sorry, no money to buy presents. Also, my great-grandmother who is 98 and my cousin [mark loo] also had their birthdays celebrated today! woot

i'm wondering if i should type rubbish, or be so just confused and blog my brains out. i'm not sure what [.] actions meant, and i'm not sure what [.] was doing.

Well, this song is nice! [introduced by Jiayun and Samuel]

40 Kinds Of Sadness by Ryan Cabrera

Two days chasing me around
I go crazy when you're outside of my world
When you're outside of my world
No sounds singing me to sleep!
I feel 40 kinds of sadness when you're gone.
I feel the same thing always happens when you're gone
And i know you're just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough
My eyes are waiting at the door
Just like every time before
Time flies so slow...
Time flies so slow
i know you're just around the corner
But just around the corner is not enough
It's not enough
for me.

by the way, jiayun, GET READY THAT 10 CENTS!.

Ugly Singaporeans | 6:59 AM

Just today, after leaving gym at 6.30pm, me and some other gym people walked over to junction 8 to buy bubble tea [woot :D], then as we crossed to road, we saw this minor traffic accident.

A toyota corolla had been scratched slightly at the boot by a van. Judging by the looks of it, the toyota corolla had tried to turn to a lane but the van didn't stop, and thus the sides were scratched slightly.

I know it's a lot of money, still.

Then, the owner of the corolla was undoubtly pissed off. He got off his corolla, walked to the van, and asked the van owner to step out. He was like "Step Out!"

I guess the van owner didn't comply, so he said, "Do you want me to call the police? i show you ah. 999! Hello?" in that superior, arrogant and demanding tone of his, which i found absolutely irritating.

Of course, the van owner buai-song, then he stepped out of the van owner. The car owner started using his handphone to take a video of the van, the damage, the car license plate in an intrusive manner, with that air of proudness and abstinence. wait, what's abstinence?

anyway, i find that from this situation, that the car owner should have been nicer. He could have negotiated with the van owner and not bring it to the police and bring up so much fuss. I guess they could've just discussed it over.

Needless to say, they jammed up the street.

Met Bishan Gay at Junction 8 after Zeb left. Dao-ed him.

Wanted to play.A with 2A people. Hamachi screwed up. Sigh.

PATRICK GET YOUR DAM BNET KEY.

anyway, i find that patrick and yun xin are very pei. MUHAHHAHHA.
ahem.

Patrick: about 170cm, 40 kg [yes, 40 kg] and very bony. Is in RI band, and plays the saxophone and is in AEP.

Yun xin: about 160 +, dunno what weight, probably quite light, is in NYGH band, plays saxophone and is in AEP.

If they walked side by side, they would've looked like twins :D

don't you think they just complement each other?
