I don’t know what to say, really. 4 more matches till the biggest battle of our professional lives. Now either we heal as a team or we’re gonna crumble, inch by inch, play by play, 'til we’re finished.

We’re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. &, we can stay here - get the shit kicked out of us - or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one inch at a time.

Now, I can’t do it for you. I’m just one man. I look around. I see these young & aspiring faces, & I think -- I mean – I’m really proud to have been part of this team, are you?

You know, when you get old in life things get taken from you. I mean that's...part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches. So is volleyball. Because in either game, life or volleyball, the margin for error is so small - I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, & you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it.

The inches we need are everywhere around us.

They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves & everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the fuckin' difference between winning & losing! Between livin' & dyin'!

I’ll tell you this: In any fight, it’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that inch. & I know if I’m gonna have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willin' to fight & die for that inch. Because that’s what livin' is!

Now I can’t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him!

That’s a team, gentleman!

&, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.

That’s HCVB guys.

That's all it is.

Now, what are you gonna do?

I’m terribly sorry for posting so irregularly. But time is really not on my side. I always used to say “Time can be created.” However, it seems like it does not apply to me. What a joke. I’m practically busy, EVERYDAY.

Monday: School. Homework. Plyometrics. MMA. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Tuesday: School. Lunch. Training. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Wednesday: School. Lunch. Homework. MMA. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Thursday: School. Training. Home. Bath. Dinner. Studying till forever.
Friday: School. Training. Home. Bath. Dinner. SLACK. SLEEP.
Saturday. MMA. Lunch. Home. Slack. Study. Slack. Study. Slack. Sleep.
Sunday: Slack. Study. Slack. Study. Training. Studying. Sleep.
I NEED MORE THAN 24 HOURS A DAY REALLY!! Or, could I be granted the skill Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!

Luckily it’s the holidays now yay!
I don’t even dare to list out my holiday homework. Maybe I’ll reserve it for my next post :)

I’m going to use this holiday to train hard, & catch up + work ahead of school. Hopefully I’m really able to complete the latter.

Anyway, Congrats to Athena for winning & making history!
Best Performance, War Games, POP, Dramafeste & definitely the FOS to come. The juniors have a lot to live up to. HAHAHA.

School’s pretty hectic. 4 subjects, but so MUCH more homework!

Anyway, have you heard about the Pacific Earthquake?
I feel SO sad about it damn. I wanna go Japan to help, ocip or whatever shit. I’ll do anything to help them man. ARGH. The 2 earthquakes happened in Japan, one around 1.45pm yesterday, when I was having my damn math lecture test. The other was at 2 plus, when I was cursing how I would fail math test. In comparison, I feel so small, so insignificant to what happened to the natives there. They lost their family, I merely lost a stupid 7% of my math overall. People are crying over the lost of their loved ones, i crying over my insignificant split milk.

So guys, before you ever lament about ANYTHING, please remember that there’s always someone out there who’s worse off than you. Please be considerate. Keep your thoughts to yourself & tell yourself that you’ll do better, & work hard. Don’t be an ass like me.

Pray for Japan, & many of the other countries currently facing adversities.

The day may dawn when fair play, love for one's fellow men, respect for justice and freedom, will enable tormented generations to march forth triumphant from the hideous epoch in which we have to dwell. Meanwhile, never flinch, never weary, never despair. ~ Winston Churchill

The Paradox of Our Time

2011-02-24T20:54:00.002+08:00

"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, yet more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; big men and small character; steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce; fancier houses but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete."

Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember to say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember to say "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

& ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

For once, I don’t really give a damn for everything else that has happened for the past few days since the last time I updated. What only matters now is the Team.
To everyone in the team,

“I don’t know what to say really. Three minutes till the biggest battle of our professional lives. It all comes down to today. Now either we heal as a team, or we’re gonna crumble.

Inch by inch, play by play, till we’re finished. We’re in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell. One inch at a time.

Now I can’t do it for you. I’m too old. I look around, I see these young faces, and I think… I mean I’ve made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me, and lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life, things get taken from you. That’s part of life. But you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches. And so is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean… one half a step too late or too early and you don’t quite make it. One half second too slow too fast, you don’t quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game, every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that’s gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I’ll tell you this – in any fight, its the guy whose willing to die who’s gonna win that inch. And I know if I’m going to have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because that’s what living is! The 6 inches in front of your face

Now I can’t make you do it. You’ve got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You’re gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him.

That’s a team, gentlemen. And either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die, as individuals. That’s football, guys. That’s all it is. Now, what are you going to do?”

Come on team. We can do this together, as a team. Lets build this team together, as a team. Lets fight & stay together, as a team. Lets love each other, as a team.

Tomorrow is gonna be the start of school.

I don’t know why I am so afraid of going back to school now. Many of you may say school’s gonna be fun due to the girls, the orientation, the events and what not. For your information, these don’t matter to me, at all.

So WHAT exactly do I fear?

After much consideration, I guess it all boils down to

1. Academics
The thought of not doing well for most of my test is, horrible. I daresay I’ve doing average in High School, with some failures notwithstanding. However, I fear that once I get into Junior College, I won’t be able to catch up, do well or whatever. Not getting OSA in High School was already heartbreak to me. I really wanna do well in JC & get 4As for A levels. The school isn’t making things better for me by setting up a test on the first day of school. WTH?

2. Volleyball
There is too much of byzantine dynamics in this cca. Everything is erratic. No more Jiao Lian, no proper Team, no proper positions. With an outstanding membership of at least 18, as of now, the team is too FREAKING BIG - too big to bond, too big to be close, too big to cultivate teamwork. Players aside, the trainings are too…frequent (?). 2, 4, 5, (6?), 4pm to 9/10pm. Before I even reach home I’m already dead & exhausted. So how do I salvage the previous worry?! Also, with an ankle & wrist injury, how do I train?! Not going to training, people blacklist me. Going to training, I aggravate my injury, I don’t play well, I get blacklisted as well. WHAT’S LIFE?! Whatever the case, this is the first time I really dread volleyball, SO MUCH. Sigh.

3. MMA
Signing up in December at Evolve, is one of my biggest regrets, that I didn’t sign up earlier. Training sessions there are damn fun & engaging, providing me with a great workout coupled with the opportunity to expand my social network. I’ve been going there almost daily, whenever I’m free to go. However, with the much dreaded reopening of school, chances to go there for training is less & minimal. I want to perfect my techniques, learn more tricks, level up. DAMN.

HATE SCHOOL, nuff said.

Now let all the anguish & grief be gone. Let us talk about happy things! :)

Happy New Year guys :)

It has been a pretty wonderful year up till now. Hope that it’ll continue to be like this for this year & beyond.

Lets go backkkkkkkkk to before the New Year till now.

1. Geok family outing.

Geok family outing was p-u-r-e-l-y random & erratic. The people present had no special relation to each other whatsoever. It was just a outing for the sake of an outing. But it was fun nonetheless. Lunch > Movie > Dinner > Chilling at Istana Park > Home Sweet Home.

2. 6Dil’06 Chalet.

The chalet was damn good imo!! I bonded a lot with the rest of my ex-classmates. During the normal outings most of the interactions were quite superficial and minimal; however this chalet (after 4 years) is really effective to bring us together again yay. Not to mention we had a lot of food leftover too. A LOT. But I guess my 26bucks were worth it, for the company & for the sea :)

3. Stayover at Hongyi’s house.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT, if I could only use 2 words to describe. HAHAHAHA. Played Wii, PS3, some retarded card games, SCISSORS PAPER STONE(?!), Sparring (LOL). Overall it was damn fun la catching up with my ex-classmates & other friends again. Luvvvv Hongyi’s house man it’s gonna be my 1) Malaysia home 2) Singapore home 3) volleyball court 4th home already :) Thanks Hongyi for everything man. We’ve been going your house for around 4 years now. Sorry for all the trouble to your parents, your relatives & especially you BUT WE WILL SURELY WANT TO COME BACK AGAIN HAHHA.

4. Volleyball Chalet.

Retarded. I overslept during the first day of the chalet so I didn’t went LOL. I went during the bbq. The food was MINIMAL untillllllllllllll …… lol. It was positive experience with the new team though. I look forward to more trainings with them.
I realized I’ve ALWAYS been listing out my events one by one in EVERY single post from months ago. I desperately need to start updating REGULARLY or this vicious cycle will never end. Damn.

Is it a norm for everyone to list out their New Year resolutions?

I’m not going to. HA.

Once again Happy New Year everybody! :)

Yearssssssss have past since I last updated. Sorry guys, I’ve either been too busy or lazy to update.

Let me try to recap what has happened hm.

1. WDP SC Outing at Sentosa & Crystal’s House.

The Sentosa outing was extremely fun. We were trying to push each other down into the sea. In the end everyone was in the sea & we played Monkey in the H2o. Continuously trying to throw Jia En & Ting En into the water was also a highlight of the outing. Ting En was the boring willing party, at times even offered to ‘suicide’ & jump into the water herself. What a joke! Jia En was on the other extreme end of the spectrum. She was awfully unwilling to into the sea & kept struggling like cat, scratching, biting, kicking & what not. However satisfaction overwhelmed when we succeeded throwing her into the sea. Well Done SC :)

Good times never last, lightning flashed, thunder clapped & the lightning alert rang. We got out of the water with nothing to do on our agenda. We then tried to bury Chong Wei under the sand. The end product was, obscene. With again nothing to do, an ingenious idea came from a genius, probably yours truly, to start digging holes on the beach. Without further ado everyone started digging (like a dog). I was the judge – which hole was the deepest. In the end Kang Raye won with the deepest hole that could almost bury Jia En & Ting en up to their stomach. Good Job Kang, too bad we didn’t manage to finish the job by burying those two into the hole. Night fell, & we headed to Vivo for dinner – Carl’s Junior! Expensive but strictly sinful.

On the way home, we corner the Chits to enquire about the true definition of Chit. According to them, it is **** ******* ** *******. Hehehe. I’m such a wonderful senior I kept my promise & didn’t disclose the ‘truth’ to public.

After that we met up with Lucas, Crystal & Hui Xian. We were planning to stayover at Crystal’s house but due to unforeseen circumstances, me & Wan Xin had to leave in the middle of the night. We played Snap, Taiti, Bridge & all the lame card games you could think of with 52 cards.

The cab fare back was 16.50 bucks. But it was a day well spent none the less.

Buried Chong Wei!

Everyone DIGGING!

Carl's Junior yum yum!

:)

2. WDP Alumni Volleyball Game.

Playing with a wrist injury was by no means fun, but the company was great though. I saw many of my cute little juniors as well as ex teammates. Ah those young & innocent times (with none or little homework), how I miss those times! It was a good day spent catching up with them. I’m looking forward for more in time to come!

3. Taiwan Training Trip.

Here’s a reflection I’ve done for the trip.

Over the past few days, much has happened – team building, training and playing with higher level opponents, cultural visits, and the list goes on.

In this reflection, I shall briefly touch on what has happened during the team’s trip in Taiwan, and analyze the significance and implications of those events.

Truth to be told, I had personally learnt nothing much from the ‘cultural trips’ that were planned for us. However, it would also be a mistake to conclude that the trip has not opened me up to the culture in Taiwan. Notably, the Taiwanese have a very strong sense of environmental protection. The ‘Green Movement’ there was especially commendable. From hawker food in the street hawkers to lunch in the schools, inherently everyone (and I mean everyone) was particular about recycling.

In retrospect, despite being vastly outplayed by our Taiwan opponents, it seems that those friendlies will play an integral role of allowing everyone in the team to reflect on their own mistakes, eventually enabling the team to strive to greater heights with a higher level of game play.

Indubitably, if there was one thing particularly meaningful I took away from this trip, it is with resonating reassurance - team bonding. The principle plethora of time spent together with the team led to a subtle metamorphosis of deeper understanding between teammates, regardless extrinsically or intrinsically. We left Singapore as strangers, but made friends with each other and became teammates in Taiwan. As history has proven over and over again, overseas trip with the team has definitely played a pivotal role in helping the team to grow together.

The frustrating reality of our measly 7-day Taiwan trip did nothing to help the situation. That said, I will stop crying my heart out, take what I need and be on my way. Here is a sincere thanks for everyone who has made this trip a positive experience, minor discrepancies notwithstanding. Therefore the verdict stands, short shopping time allocated and unplanned itinerary aside, my evaluation of the trip is an attitude, transcending simple cultural experience and skills development, towards a higher level of volleyball. Much as I’d like to round this up with something extraordinarily cheesy, I am just glad to have been part of this trip since the very first step, that’s all. Adios and peace out.

I loveeeee the bentos there super delicious!

Oyster omelette that owns Singapore's anytime!

MANGO SHAVING / ICE. SUPER SUPER NICE!!!

4. Christmas Gathering at Galv’s.

Once again it was great to see my boarding school mate, my floormates, my roommates as well as mentor. We spent the time at Galv’s house chillin, watching Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead’s Man Chest or Dead Man’s Chest. The food provided was awesome too. I especially loved Mrs Sng’s trifle wooo world class man. Though the dessert was a little messy, but don’t judge a dessert by its looks yo, it was REALLY good. I received my Christmas exchange present from Nic Chuan – a book titled Never Let Me Go. I’m still in the process of reading it. Nothing much as of now, hope the story gets more interesting as it progresses on. Ahhhhh, it was another good day spent catching up with old mates.

Presentssss!

Lovely December.

I’ve been going to Evolve for 2 consecutive days now.

I must admit it is a little physically strenuous, but that’s good, I love it.
Muay Thai is really hard to master, especially the kicks. My kicking technique still need lots of improvement, plus kicking the boxing bag is no fun. It’s DAMN PAIN. Other than the kicks I think I love everything. Once I master the kick then the lessons would surely be damn fun. Woohoo.

FightShape, as rumoured, is really not as easy as I thought. The exercises challenged me a LOT. I keep having the almost-gonna-get-cramp feeling in my thighs, which was good actually. This shows that I’m undergoing muscle building. Good good I like.

I’m gonna go again tomorrow, if all goes well & I can wake up. I’ve been taking the first train to Paris Ris everyday to attend the earliest Muay Thai lessons. Tiring to wake up early, but it feels damn refreshing at the same time.

Having volleyball training tomorrow too. INDOOR AT SPANS WOOHOO. Finally indoor training after years.

Evolve & training has indeed enspirit me.
My holidays feel so enriched woo!

:)

It is exactly 1 week since my last post. It is really amazing that so much has happened during this 1 week.

1. Graduation Night @ Grand Hyatt Hotel.
2. Evolve MMA @ Far East Square.
3. Training @ CCAB.
4. Games Day @ WDP.
5. SC Camp @ WDP.

These were 5 very significant events of this year. & if any of you were wondering why is training which occurs at least 3 times a week so special this time, read on.

1. Graduation Night @ Grand Hyatt Hotel.

I believe the sub title is self explanatory. Graduation – it sums all the dudes hard work, sweat, stress, pain, homework, swears & curses, joys & laughter of all our times in school. It marks the end of our uniquely all boys experience in high school, to a whole new level of school in jc.

Below is the dedication for 4B1,

As the ending of my sec4 year dawned upon me, I can’t help but feel sad that this class of 39 is going to dis-class soon, never to be together again, at least as a class. Every one of us are going on separate ways, to pursue our vastly different interests & talents. Though there are unpleasant times when there are fights & all. However, those are compensated by the happier times we shared, however lame & childish they seem.

After this year, I am certain that we will not be able to unleash our war cry together & discuss seemingly shocking content so openly, or even simply having fun together by engaging in a simple game of SSB or class soccer / basketball anymore. We will eventually drift apart & this is sadly inevitable.

Sometimes when I leave the classroom after school, I will turn & look, a tinge of sadness sank in as I knew my sec4 school years are going to be truly over no matter how many times I look. I cherished those moments as a class, probably that’s why I know I am going to miss them so much. Let’s try to turn the clock 2 years back. I hope. I wish. Our days as a class are numbered. I hope the rest of the year would be filled with more pleasantries & that I will remember the 4B1 as the biggest & funkiest class that is united in the face of all odds & is capable as well to achieve greater heights.

Hereby, I sincerely thank each one of my classmates for making my sec 3 & 4 years so enjoyable & fulfilling. Lets strive together & cross the final hurdle. As one. At the end of the day, it is my hope that when we bump into each other in the faraway future, we will remember that we were once classmates together.

Yup.

& to the rest of the Singapore kids who’s graduating, & obviously to my batch mates too, is an excerpt from a commencement speech by Jeff Priceton.

Tomorrow, in a very real sense, your life -- the life you author from scratch on your own -- begins.
How will you use your gifts? What choices will you make?
Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions?
Will you follow dogma, or will you be original?
Will you choose a life of ease, or a life of service and adventure?
Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions?
Will you bluff it out when you're wrong, or will you apologize?
Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love?
Will you play it safe, or will you be a little bit swashbuckling?
When it's tough, will you give up, or will you be relentless?
Will you be a cynic, or will you be a builder?
Will you be clever at the expense of others, or will you be kind?
I will hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story. Thank you and good luck!

2. Evolve MMA @ Far East Square.

I am seriously super duper hyper cyber uber ultra very very interested to join this school. The introduction class was fantastic man. The instructor taught me a few techniques, but those were just the tip of the iceberg. Contrary to what I thought, martial arts in reality not as easy as it seems. Half an hour of the punching & kicking already got me sweating. I’d really, REALLY like to join the school to learn more. DAMN. 4k, drop from the sky, please.

3. Training @ CCAB.

It has been very much a while since I got killed & intimidated in volleyball. But that training really woke me up. I got killed by Melvin Goh. Simple as that. But in actually fact it’s not as simple as it may seem. I realized that despite being going so far, I’m still so far. I hope this doesn’t make sense to anyone because I don’t want it to. HA. I need to train. Badly. Desperately. To be on top. I cant stand losing anymore. NEVER.

4. Games Day @ WDP.

Every year it has been a whole new experience, & no exceptions this time. Tag Rugby was something I am totally foreign from. For the past 3 years it has always been Handball or Captains Ball. This year proved to be a challenge. Especially since I didn’t know most of the SC’s working with me too, plus it was outdoor in the field. Anyway, like I always like to say, “it’ll always work out somehow.” & yes it did ^^ Thanks to all the cute little kids in WDP & my fellow SC’s – Albert, Siew Ming, Kai Jin, Daphne, JiaJun, Sheryl, Serene, Zharfan, Haziq, Ariel(?), Bowen & many more, well done guys!

5. SC Camp @ WDP.

Feelings before going the camp was strange & ambivalent, whether it’ll turn out good, bad, fun, fail, or however cliché it may be, happily ever after. Thankfully, due to everyone’s cooperation & teamwork, everything worked out extremely well, or much better than expected. It went on smooth sailing without much problems, & if there were any, those problems were crafted wickedly by the teachers. Kudos to all for making this year’s camp so outstanding. All the seniors & teachers were doing their best to make this camp fun for the juniors, & vice versa, the juniors were copperating much too. Not to mention, I made loads of friends too. Well yeah, I guess, praises could lift the camp to the skies, but if you weren’t there, you would not be able to feel the gratification because no words are apt enough to describe it. Yes again, I guess words fail me. Alexithymia? Maybe. It was just a wonderful experience altogether. Nuff said. Let the pictures do the talking.

SC'06! :D

This is undoubtedly a week I’ll never trade any other for. Fulfilling & enriching, ttm.

Last day of school was sad, just pure sad, in every aspect of the word.

My last exam in high school was Higher Chinese O levels. It was much harder than expected, but since it’s over, no point thinking about it. Let’s just hope all goes well.

My results were, so-so. I wasn’t happy, am not sad either. It was really an okay feeling when I got my results. OSA was out of my reach, 0.2 away. Definitely I felt that I could’ve done better but ~ that’s life.

Let’s review my results.
English B3 SIAN.
Higher Chinese A2 WHAT THE.
A Math A1.
E Math A1.
Chemistry B3 AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Physics A2 :(
BSP A1
Research Paper A1
Humanities Core A2
Humanities Electives A1
1.7. Seven has a lot of fate with me.

Well, HOLIDAYS ARE HERE YAY!

But I’m damn poor now cannot go shop for all the stuff I want in the previous post. Dame dame dame.
I need to start saving money. Or wait for my dad to give me my allowance. ARGHHHHHHH. Holidays are bad because I spend lotsa money.

Meanwhile, These few days I was busy with service at my Alma mater. Refereeing their Games Day is no easy task, as always. This year was my first time doing Tag Rugby. It started pretty shaky due to the inconsistent rules. Later it was much better after everything was confirmed. The juniors are doing pretty well too. It must be due to the sacred teachings from yours truly. ANYWAY I GOT SUNTANNED. I’m gonna get tanned on Monday & Tuesday again. Nice.

I just realized Tuesday I have full day duty, plus there’s Graduation Dinner. DAME. I need to inform Ms Lim already. AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Why can’t life be simple. But yeah I’m definitely looking forward to Graduation – receiving my testimonial & seeing all my friends again! :D

I went back to boarding school to get my pillow today. I was extremely please when I could get pass the security doors. This signified that they have not cut out our entry into boarding school. However, once I got into Hall F, I realized that they locked up every single room. The thought of not being able to get my pillow was plain crushing. I was really sad I could not get my pillow, which I spent the whole IBP with. The dejection I felt then, sigh, words fail me.

HAHAHAHA MY DAD CAME BACK WITH POSTERS OF ME THAT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER. LOLLLLLLLL. Now I have 4 posters of myself. Nice.

I'll definitely miss 4B1.

Memories of IBP F1 will forever stay with me :)

I seriously can’t friggin wait for Higher Chinese O levels to be over. 6 hours of Chinese every single day for 5 days a week for 2 weeks. I really don’t mind. However at the rate Dr. Wang gives, even if my house is as big as Ernest’s, I would still get buried under the work.

For one, is that I can finally go down to full time training. The other, is for me to stop thinking about studies.

But anyway since I failed Chemistry I probably have to take the re-exam. Or the other alternative is for me to take Arts / Humanities Combination. But I’m not really good in Humans, even though I got an A1 for the EOY exam. At best I would say its luck. Worst still, my mom requests for me to take CHINESE AS H2. If I follow all the above, I would be take HGLC? History, Geography, Literature, Chinese. I’ll die a more terrible death than the guy who hurt Cindy or the guy who kissed Yoona.

It’s alright. It’s okay. I shouldn’t think about my results yet. I shall wait till it comes back & decide what to do after that.

For now, let’s continue on the things I wanna do & buy.

Things I wanna do:
1. Train for HCVB!
a. Training for Libero
2. Join Evolve-MMA!
a. I suddenly have a deep interest in joining Evolve. But I’m still contemplating on whether to join MMA or Muay Thai. Advice anybody?
3. Watch a lot of Animes & Dramas yay :D
4. Sleep!
5. Train for CBC/All West Team.
a. Every Saturday & Sunday.
6. Join Life Saving course for swimming.

Things I wanna buy:
1. Chrome Bag! (I really need this because my current Timbuk2 I dying :(
2. Davidoff Champion!
3. If I really do join Evolve, ALL THE TRAINING GEARS.
4. Punching bag.
5. Punching gloves.
6. New earphones!

Watch these damn cool!

Mixed Martial Arts.

Muay Thai.

Thats all for now BYE!

Ineffable

2010-10-26T21:32:00.002+08:00

I’m such a letdown.

I promised myself to do well for last high school exam. I wanted to make my family proud. I wanted to make my teachers & mentor proud. I wanted to make my team proud. I want to appreciate myself. I wanted to acknowledge that I’m as smart as others.
But life doesn’t allow me to. The blame is mine alone. Is my intellect really inferior to the rest? Sometimes i hate it that the above people love & care so much about me, because time & time again, I’ve let them down.

Sorry – but to who & whom? Am I just living my life for others? I understand our hard work should be for ourselves, not for others. But I just can’t my motivation.

To all the above questions, I don’t need feeble opinions; I don’t need hollow encouragements; I don’t need worthless confirmations. I need results; I need to find my art of war; I need to find my purpose in life.

I’m in misery. There ain’t nobody who can comfort me. There are words that don’t belong. I build up hope, but failures all I’ve known. I feel cold & lost in desperation. When all else fails, who do you turn to? With downcast eyes, there’s more to living than being alive. Don’t try to wake me up, even if the sun really does come out tomorrow.

Why am I such a failure?

I’ve failed in every single aspect of life, in every aspect of the word.

I know that it will hurt, I know that it will break your heart, the way things are, and the way they've been. Don't spread the discontent, don't spread the lies, don't make the same mistakes with your own life. ~ "Break Your Heart" by Natalie Merchant

I didn’t take much liking to you, at the beginning.
I gradually began to like the mysterious you.
I sacrificed lots of my time to be with you.
I went out with you every Sunday evening.
I gave up my sleep for you.
I love you so damn dearly.
But why’d you have to do this to me!?

Hello Tian Jie, & Jun Yi!
This post is dedicated to both of you for sparking this something in me that I have to post, & to all other lovebirds out there.

“What about love?”

“Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate.”
—Al Pacino (The Devil’s Advocate)
[Anyway I love(not love define in this blogpost) this dude everyone should go watch Scent of a Woman! Mind. Mind blowing.]

Have you ever dreamed of the perfect partner, the ultimate romantic love in the perfect relationship? A partner who is your missing part, the one that fulfills you (whichever way you wanna think of it) & makes you complete? Who’s been waiting their whole life just to meet you, & by your bond, a door in heaven opens for you?

Welcome to the club. You are not alone.

The Concept Of “The One”

Since I was little, I believed in the concept of finding “the one”.

I knew exactly how this whole thing was going to play out: I would accidentally run into a beautiful, gorgeous & charming girl one fine day, look into her face & realize immediately that we were meant for each other. She would be “the one”. The following life together would then be one of fulfillment & eternal love.

Heaven on earth is:
1. Peace of the World?
2. Happy & Contented Family?
3. Women - true love?

4. M$N$Y? (If you're m$n$y-minded enough you'll be able to know what it means.)
5. Fame?

I categorized it accordingly to my preferences.

“Women! What could you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... they say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pussy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here.” – Al Pacino (Scent of a Woman)

Okay don’t mind the crudeness of the above quote. Kinda humorous I thought.

Anyway, please take a look at the following little story from the ancient Greek about the origins of true love which I read long longgggggggggggggggggggg time ago:

The Origin of Love

There was Aristophanes’ Androgyny, Plato’s anecdote on the origins of love & mankind. The story recounts the primordial androgyny, mythical creatures with four arms, four legs & two heads. They epitomized completeness & were able to do almost anything. However, their pride in their abilities angered the gods & caused Zeus to cut them. Separated in two, they were destined to drift alone, empty & incomplete, longing for their former halves. For Plato, the androgyny is the symbol of wholeness, & the pursuit of it, is what love is.

Isn’t this beautiful? This story always fascinated me.

The problem here was that I took the whole thing too much to heart. I was looking for my missing half.

Did it worked out that way for me? Do I still believe in it, & does it have to be a bad thing doing so?

I will tell you in a minute.

First, I have a question for you: what do YOU think is the definition of true love, & is there such thing as “the one”?

Not so easy to answer, is it?

There is a scientific categorization from a renowned sociologist about the six types of love.

According to John Lee, there are six different types we can distinguish.

Six Types Of Love

1. The sexual love called “Eros”
The focus here is a sexual one where looks are more important than anything else. It is based on aesthetic enjoyment.

2. The love of the players called “Ludis”
These people tend to change partners frequently & are never attached to anyone. They like the game & the conquest.

3. The companionate love, the “Storge”
The warm & affectionate love you feel for a sibling or a best friend.

4. The obsessive love, the “Mania”
It’s an extreme form of love where the lover possesses the other completely & wants their partner’s attention constantly. This is usually driven by low self-esteem.

5. The personality love called “Pragma”
This type of love is realistic, the lovers are looking for a match referring to personality & values.

6. The altruistic love, the “Agape”
Unselfish as it is, it accepts people as who they are & does not try to change them without asking anything in return.

By looking at the list, you can easily assign what types of love you have felt in the past. Let me take a wild guess: Was it one of the first four?

As you can see, the “Agape” is considered as the ideal love, compassionate, egoless & self-giving. If you are experiencing this type of love, then you will ask nothing in return from your partner.

Think about it – in order to experience this kind of true love, you have to be at peace with the world & yourself & this is ONLY possible IF you love yourself in the same unconditional way. If you do NOT, then you are taking advantage of your partner to upvalue yourself.

In other words, if you are unhappy from within, then you need your partner desperately to feel valuable & happy. This is not true love. This would be “Mania”, & it often leads to extreme suffering when the partnership ends.

Let us go on to my definition of True Love.

The definition of true love therefore – if you consider true as “real” & “honest” without self-interest – is altruistic giving & unconditional acceptance.

But let’s be real, how many people in the world can truly say that they are experiencing such pure love? Hardly any within those couples we see nowadays. Honestly, this sounds more like a philosophical kind of love to me, which most people will aspire to achieve their whole lives. This is the kind of love Jesus, Buddha, & Gandhi practiced & taught.

In a nutshell: I’ve developed a realistic, not glorified view, of love & relationships, which helped me tremendously to concentrate on what I really want & what I don’t. The definition of true love for me, is simply loving yourself & thereby giving love without asking anything in return.

Is there “the one”?

Honestly, I don’t think there is such thing as “the one”, I think there are “many”.
A relationship is good if both are compatible & willing to make an effort to make it work. This takes experience, inner balance & daily commitment.

The concept of “the one” will not be of use, especially if the relationship should end one day.

Hopefully, the takeaway message from this blogpost, therefore, would be the following:

Abandon a glorified, unrealistic view of “true love” & “the one”, which love songs (Pop culture?), poems, & chick flicks are propagating. Especially when you suffer from a break up or divorce, you need a realistic view of your former relationship, & a down-to-earth outlook towards future ones. The mindset that true love is something that starts within you, & that is something on which both have to work at constantly, will help you to find the kind of relationship your are looking for.

I sincerely hope this has helped you to find a fulfilling relationship where both partners can thrive without restraining each other. I’m not saying that love is not important in a relationship, it definitely is. But we must constantly be aware of what our motives are, is it selfish or unselfish?

Only by knowing that we can aspire to the highest, purest form of true love.

I love You :)

The course of true love never did run smooth. ~ William Shakespeare in A Midsummer Night's Dream (I, i, 134)

While I was on my way back to boarding school today, I met Dr. Wang & his wife. It was a pleasant coincidence since I finished my BSP lesson with him around hours ago. & to all those dudes who think I’m playing SSB. NOOOOOOOOOOOO I’m doing my BSP research paper version 8 (complete!)

It was to my pleasure that Dr. Wang initiated a chat with me. As our conversation went on, he suddenly started to compliment me about Chinese. He praised me for being able to delivery my points in Chinese aptly, & my content are always appropriate and deep, however I did not perform well for my recent common test. He said I wrote out of point – long story, & my compo(s) are currently being reviewed by the Dean of Chinese. He encouraged me that I could have done better & gave me some pointers on how to write relevantly in tune to the title.

Despite Dr. Wang may not be the finest Chinese teacher in the world, although he MAY not be the most well versed in the Chinese language in the world, while he does not have the most effective style of teaching. But definitely, he IS one of the greatest teachers of my life, without a doubt, undoubtedly.

I love Dr. Wang for always being so nice to everything, for his ever-loving father spirit. I love it that he always tries his best to help others, sacrificing his health, time and everything to teach us. He always endures us for all of our shit – not paying attention in class, sleeping, playing games, skipping lesson, being late, late submission of compos, & this list is inexhaustible, I only stopped in consideration that I have to go pack my room & do my laundry urgently. I’m truly indebted to him for all he has done for us, me to improve our Chinese.

I must, get an A1 for Higher Chinese End of Years & O levels. Must. This is the least I can do to repay Dr. Wang for his benevolence.

“One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.”

Thank you Dr. Wang. Love.

Holidays have been rather great, but that’s only because I’ve been enjoying myself and playing nonstop, kinda. Everyday DotA, Naruto, Sleep. But still, I’m enjoying life and that’s all that matters hahahaha.

I’m damn addicted to naruto shipppuden now, it’s super duper hyper cyber ultra very very nice. If any of you out there love animes, you should just indulge in naruto. I guarantee you no rues after watching it. My favourite character now is Pain woohoo. He’s the coolest dude man.

"We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge we deem to be "justice". But when we call our vengeance "justice", it only breeds more revenge ... forging the first link in the chains of hatred."

Okay anyway back to updates on my life in school. I got A2 for phy6 test, again, Again, AGAIN, & A-G-A-I-N!!!!!!!! It’s alright, it’s okay, and I shall get A1 during EOYS! (Even though Mr Tieu is setting it again)

Away from studies, I realized I really like songs by Melee & Goo Goo Dolls. I think their recent albums are extremely nice! It is extremely meaningful too. Everyone please go listen to their songs! :)

Okk I dunno why, I’m suddenly not in the mood to blog anymore. Gotta go study since yanperng is here, I shall help him ace his exams, & mine too! Study hard to eoys everybadi.

There was a friendly with Singapore American School a few days back. It was goooooooood. It helped me get a bit of my form back. I need to start bending VERY LOW, and perfect my first balls. I don’t understand why my first balls always screw up when I’m playing with the A division. Is it the psychological barrier that I think I am not fit to be libero? Is it my reluctance to play libero due to the desire to jump & spike? I need to sort this out soon, if not I’ll still continue to be average or suck at libero-ing.

So today is the start of September Holidays.
Yesterday was the last day of Term3, which I screwed up my SPA quite badly.
However cliché this may seem, but time really passes so damn fast, I wish it would slow down.
4 more weeks and it is our EOYS, 7 more weeks and its graduation.

Anyway I got back my results for Term3.
English: A2
Math: A1
Physics: A2
Chem: A1
BSP: A1
IHE: A1
IHC: CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC666666666666666666666.
Term MSG: 2.00
SCREW IT THIS IS THE 3RD TIME I HAVENT BROKE MY PB OF 2.00 WTH.
This leaves me with ONE LAST term/exam in school to get 1.something.

I want to beek in the beach.
I want to gormandize good food.
I’m in the mood for shenanigan hehehe.
Pardon me for my anacoluthia in this entry, the fact that a reasonable and sensible EOY MSG for me is 2.5, is too foudroyant.
ARRRGHGHGHGHGHGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH damn this sucks.
I want need my 1.5.
I need to really study hardcore for EOYs.
I just need the stupid 1.5 to get my OSA award. Cm’on man I wanna leave Hc with a nice academic award.

I go play dota first then I shall start doing math.

K wait I watch Naruto shippuden & eat my magnum first first:)

These few weeks had been pretty interesting actually! & as you have guessed, I’m updating because I have the time to, FINALLY.

Wait gimme some time to think backkkkkk.

Thinking,
Thinking,
Thinking,
.

Okay I guess the first week after my last update was all the tests.

Now let me recall my results,
English: ?
Math: A1
Phy6: ?
Chemistry: ?
Chinese: ?
IHC: C6
IHE: ?
BSP: A1

According to my self assessment, English should be a B4-A1, Phy6 can range from F9-A2, Chemistry A1 pleaseeeeeee, Chinese B3-A1, IHE B3-A1 too. So worst case scenario, I will get a 3.5 for msg WTH. I shan’t talk about best case because it’s impossible lol.

Enough about test anyway, since mine are all over until EOYS which are coming innnnn 6/7 weeks AHHHHHHHH.

Next I shall talk about my personal failure. I really don’t wanna talk about this, but I have to note this down for self evaluation & reflection, so if you are running against time, skip this paragraph.

Friday 21/08/10 was Mock YOG match against St. Hildas.
We lost 0-3. I admit that the lost was mostly partly because of the incapability on my part. I kept receiving the balls badly, as in damn badly, as if I just started playing few days ago. But in actual fact I’ve already played volleyball for 8 years. That is half my life on volleyball. I can’t go no like this, being a burden to the team. I don't want to accept this. I don't want to lose. I’ve made a decision, to take responsibilities for my own actions. I don't want my teamates to get dragged down because of my responsibilities & actions.

Sabbatical week last week!
I was in taichi kickboxing & squash, but I ponned kickboxing though it seemed very attractive. Squash was extremely fun! Everyday playing squash / exercising felt damn good since it has been ages since I exercised due to some deal. Anyway squash is very violent to me, lol. I keep sliding & diving for those low balls. This resulted in lots of scratches and bruises on my body. The worst was that I slid so hard yesterday that my head banged against the side wall. FREAKING PAIN MAN. Now I have a baluku behind my head.

I was ranked 5th overall amongst those who participated woo. Not too bad. It was the number of my jersey when I first played libero. 4th was Low Dong Ying who I lost to in the quarters. 3rd was Ang An Jun. 2nd is Joel Tan the Hwa Chong Idol 2010. 1st is Ang Yang woo. Squash is damn good compared to tennis, no offence joel ahaha. The last day the teacher treated us to pizza oh yeah babeh~! There was 6 pizzaz, 1 box of 15 chicken wings, 3 bottles of pepsi, & 3 boxes of cheese sausages, potato wedges & fried scallop. I bet none of the other sabbaticals had such a ‘farewell’ lunch . Squash (Y)!

With the end of the sec4’s last sabbatical in high school, I’m regret to say I haven’t enjoyed enough of sabbaticals due to lousy school system in the past that gives ACE for attending ‘meaningful’ sabbaticals, hence many of us going to those educational sabbaticals extrinsically for ACE. However I’m glad to say that I did enjoy the last few sabbaticals in high school – Naked Chef, Phy6 of Tennis & Phy6 of Squash.

I really hope that sabbaticals in JC will be as / even more fun.

Next week is gonna be the last week of Term3 in high school. 2010 is going to pass by extremely soon, sadly. I wish time would pass slower, if there was any way it could. It seems to be going faster & faster throughout the years, not taking into account factors such as angle of earth being tilted slightly due to collision with other objects in space or natural disasters.

It is 6/7 more weeks to EOYs, let us all enjoy the last few days of our high school & make it a memorable one.

As for me, I must start training for HCVB in JC, for the libero position in the main team, for the 3rd consecutive championships in A‘division nationals. And 1.5 for EOYs, which is exceptionally challenging considering my results, ACE & OP.
Anyway, till the next time I update, good luck for everything everyone :)

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood... I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today... ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Okay now let’s get back into my life.

Okay so on Thursday, I celebrated Mingao’s mighty birthday with a few of his best friends! It was damn good man. Free Fish & Co. Me & Jun Yu shared the seafood platter & free flow Passion fruit drink. The only thing was that I strained my neck muscle while stretching. Damn. I could not turn my head so it was !@#$%&*(). It was a night super duper hyper cyber ultra very very well spent! Thanks so much Min Gao for inviting me & HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, WISH YOU EVERLASTING LUVVVVVV & ALL THE BEST IN YOUR STUDIES & h2o POLO!!! :D

On Friday was CCA Appreciation cum National Day celebration. Congrats to all the CCAs for getting a prize (some cool gizmo with 2 pens & post-it note). Congrats to all the 自强不息 awardees. Special mention to TIN JING JIE because he’s from HCVB! All hail HCVB because we got the 自强不息 Team award! ;D

If any of you are contemplating why I (the captain) did not get it, nor did Bingru (Vice-Captain) got it. I shall address your grievances now. Being JJ’s teammate for 4 years now, I daresay, he possess the greatest zest to fight on, the never-say-die attitude in the team. It was inherent in JJ’s character. You can see it evidently when he plays matches, competitive or not. He always strives for the best & wants the same for everyone. I don’t believe I lose to him in any of these aspects, but perhaps he displayed it more markedly than me. None the less, congrats to JJ!

After CCA Appreciation I was supposed to go out with my 2E buddies, but the blardy neck obliterated everything. I had an appointment with a Chinese physician for my neck. GRR. So it turned out that I did too much weights, probably squats, so the muscle were damn tensed & strained. He performed some imbah massage on me that almost killed me, then cupping. My first experience of cupping I think, or the first one that left with me with such a strong & deep impression – ITS FREAKING BURNING HOT & PAINFUL. Later, he advised me to not do weights until I recovered, so shall I do weights tomorrow? I think I decide whether or not do tomorrow. I don’t want to injure myself again.

Moving on, I went to Hongyi’s house with Joel yesterday. Those present were Jonathan, Chih Hsuan, Jun Yu, Keng Liang, Yi Xiang, Sean, Min Gao, Yu Zhong, Reuben, Lionel, Justin, Malcolm, Jiayi, Jolyn, Xiaohan, & two other girls I don’t know. Obviously there was yours truly & another guy you-should-know-unless-you-are-stupid. It was quite fun and quite boring at times LOL. But it has always been like this.

Best thing was that I get to catch up with my ex-classmates and some other good friends :) Thinking back, those times were really so carefree and fun. Studies were important then, but 2E made me realize relationships with others and the times together meant as much.

At first we played a bit of soccer. After that some of them went for swimming. Me, Chih Hsuan, Yu Zhong & Joel went to buy icepacks for the drinks. Then we chit chatted & ate. BBQ in Hongyi’s house is always awesome because we never get to cook but get to eat & eat. Love Hongyi’s parents ttm. They are damn good! :D

The food wasn’t enough because there were too many people this time. We order pizzzzzzzzza yum yum yum. While waiting we were playing lame shit games and talking cock hahaha. We then went for the classic entertainment in Hongyi’s house – GHOST WALK. It was extremely fail. It was supposed to be scary, but due to the lighting which spoilt everything, it was just a stupid after-dinner walk. We walked through the whole path, & even walked to the road, all the way back to the condo. DAMN BRAINLESS. After that was just slacking in Hongyi’s house; listening to mrjoel serenade to the girls (xiaohan & jolyn) then home sweet home!

OH YEAH BEFORE I FORGET.

Happy National Day to all Singaporeans haha.

/img>

Please don’t take the peace and good economy of Singapore for granted.

Actually Singapore’s National Day is just a holiday to most of us. Sadly, we don’t appreciate what Singapore gives us. However, we cannot be blamed for the youth apathy towards politics. Our lack of interest towards politics can be attributed to the government’s disdainful neglect. Singaporeans have a reliant & trustworthy government, who reacted to the recent global economic crisis effectively & we take things for granted; having little or no concern for politics. Being a Singaporean youth, I myself believe that nothing can be done to further enhance the efficiency of the government. Besides, Singaporean youths are overwhelmed by extensive amount of work load in conjunction with the current educational system. Do we have the time to care about politics? Let’s just continue to see what Singapore will be without PM Lee & its current board of governors. Would it still be as peaceful as it is now?

Anyway, today is already the last day of the long break weekend our ‘dear’ national day has provided us with. Ahhhhhhhh, so fast.

Again again before I really forget because I’m rushing to watch 爱, PLEASE GO FOR FELICITY NIGHT ON AUGUST 20! 7.30 PM! BUY TICKETS FROM ME! 10 bucks ONLY. Mrjoel performing leh. What more do you want!?

This week has been considerably bad. Extremely bad.
I just received my math results yesterday. It was SO FRIGGING HORRIBLE.
B3 for Math Trigo Differentiation & Integration test.
E8 for Math Vector test.
CTNNDB!
The only heartening thing was English assignment in which I got 24/30. woo.
I hope I don’t screw up English common test too badly though.
I’m going to get back my Phy6 results tomorrow. According to the encounter with Mr. Tieu yesterday after weights, supposedly I got A2.
Damn, another A2 (I hope it won’t get worse). When will I ever get a freaking A1 for phy6!? I’m devoid of an A2 for phy6 for 2 years already.

Talking about weights, I did my max test again yesterday.
Note to self, maximum weight as of 28/7/10
1. Squats: 95kg excluding the bar.
2. Right Wrist Curl: 40kg.
3. Left Wrist Curl: 30kg.
4. Left Arm Pull(?): 85lbs.
5. Right Arm Pull(?): 100lbs.

Thinking back ~
Note to self, maximum weight as of 10/6/10:
1. Squats: 80kg without the bar.
2. Lateral Pull Ups: 150lbs.
3. Wrist Curl: 20kg.
4. Leg Extension: Maximum.
5. Hamstring Curl: Maximum.
6. Arm Pull(?): 55lbs.
~

I have not improved on my lateral pull ups AT ALL. I think need to carry heavier weight to train already. GR.

Todelo for now.

Gotta rush my IHC Worksheet 11. WHICH I WAS SUPPOSED TO FINISH IN THIS BIO PERIOD, that I spent blogging.

Todelo todelo.

Hello all. I am terribly sorry ( actually not ) for not updating for these few weeks. Before the holidays ended, I subconsciously knew that school would be too busy for me to update. Thinking about my dead blog during my showers, I decided to at least update it once a week when I’m free or have nothing to do during bio periods. So here I am – updating during my free bio period, even though I have lots more other important & urgent work to be done.

As a matter o fact I don’t have much to update, because schools so repetitive; school, test, homework, sleep.

I shall think on the spot now what has school for these 4 weeks been like.
1. We got into Finals for Projects Day! :D
2. I’m getting addicted to soccer. So my after school times are mostly spent on volleyball, soccer & basketball. Damn fun.
3. CDE is making school extremely dreadful.
4. I gotta feeling – that my results for this term is gonna get screwed.
5. Phy6 test was awful. Math test was nasty.

I guess that’s all for now. LOL.

Wednesday was a busy day.

Morning was project’s day meeting at SPCA to collect posters, brochures & freebies. Everything was smooth except request for the donation tins. After everything we went back to school for meeting with mentor. We got our commitment questioned & motivation enquired. Without seeking anyone’s opinion, I know that the project’s priority falls below studies & cca (duh). Never mind, what is done is done, what isn’t done isn’t done. All we can do now is to make the most of everything. GO GO GO.

We put up everything, except some of the posters & gifts. I had to bring them back for don’t know what. I’m nice, help to do all the stupid work. We’re going to do up the exhibition on Monday again, do some last minute brush up. After that I went back home to sleep. I was damn tired that day. World cup finished at 5a.m., around there, and then I woke up at 6.30 for the project meeting. @_@

I went to science center at around 4 to meet Wan Xin, Kang Raye, Lucas, Crystal & Hui Xian. We toured around the exhibit, some Pixar animation history cum timeline. It was quite interesting seriously. To me la. I don’t know why the rest so restless, maybe they don’t know how to appreciate artworks like me! HAHA. Then we to buy Macs for early dinner/late lunch. Soon after that we went to watch Toy Story 2, 3D. LOL. I really didn’t see much difference between Toy Story 2 3D & non 3D. But I know there is extremely lot of difference when you watch Avatar 3D & non 3D.

I rushed home after the movie as I needed (more) sleep. I had dinner, then slept immediately.

9plus my cousin came to fetch me & my father to Sentosa Resort World. On the way, we fetched another of my cousin. When we reached there, first challenge was to find a freaking parking lot. After that the challenge was to sneak in, because you need to be at least 18+ to get in. Fortunately, the guy didn’t suspect me(lol), then I got to register for the Resort World membership. Unfortunately, you needed to fill in your date of birth, which I filled in accurately. So I guess I won’t be able to collect my membership card. LOL.

Anyway the atmosphere there was electrifying, especially when I was watching England’s match. There are a lot of England supporters in Singapore, probably because of EPL. England won, USA won, so they both advance to the next round.

I went home & slept immediately. So I finally missed 1 match of the Fifa. Damn.
Yao disturbed my sleep today when he called me at 1pm. He asked me to go play ball at 3.30pm. I agreed & continued sleeping. LOL. He called me again at 3.00pm. I had to wake up since I promised to go play with them. I reached clement community center at 4.30pm. Now you know how long it takes me to get ready.

We played from 4.30 till 7.30. Damn fun! It has been extremely long since I exercise, even longer since I played basketball, much more longer since I play with those CBs(clement boys)!

So that’s my Friday gone!

Hahahaha I shall do some work tomorrow!

OMG I haven’t bath lol bye!

I stayed up to watch the Cameroon vs. Denmark World Cup match yesterday. Both Cameroon & Denmark lost their previous match, so the winner or this game stays alive in this World Cup. Once again I saw the team that worked harder lose. If you did watch the match, you would definitely have felt depressed for Cameroon. The Cameroon players tried so damn hard, but Lady Luck was just not on their side.

Cameroon Denmark
23 Shots 13
7 Corner kicks 2
2 Yellow cards 2
0 Second yellow card and red card 0
0 Red Cards 0
54% Possession (%) 46%

This is the breakdown of the match from http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=249722/match=300061475/index.html

You may say Denmark’s keeper was good, but seriously I felt that Cameroon deserved to win for their efforts.

After all these, I realized I learnt something about myself.

I admire, I respect, and I salute teams / athlete / anyone who work hard, who put in their best. I love those people so damn much, that I hate seeing those people lose or fail.
However, we must all understand that efforts doesn’t mean results.
If you put all you have into whatever you do, you won't eliminate failure.
If you put everything you have got into everything you do, you won't eliminate disappointment.
So why bother?
The answer is, " For you own self-respect."
When your personal philosophy is, " I will do my best, regardless," you will always stand tall in your own estimation.
So everyone, please do your best in everything.

Respect, for those who’ve done their best.
Respect, for Cameroon.
& definitely, respect for, Boston Celtics who have just fallen from the NBA Finals.

Sweet Sixteen

2010-06-19T19:10:00.002+08:00

With the end of yesterday’s Game 7 NBA Finals, Los Angeles Lakers have won 2010 NBA Finals, & crowned NBA Champions (back-to-back) for the 16th time in history. This victory would surely have been damn sweet for Lakers, however, it definitely is heart-wrecking for Celtics.

After taking a look at Boston Celtics journey to the NBA Finals, you must admit that they have come a long way. An arduous & exhausting one. Sadly, they fell short of one game in the finals. However they were worthy opponents. They won against D-Wade & Miami Heats, won against Lebron King James & the Cleveland Cavaliers, won against Dwight Howard Superman & Magic. As a supporter of Lakers obviously I am glad(?) that they lost against Lakers, however I confess that I do feel sad for Celtics too. They put up a damn good performance throughout the series. I love their hustle plays, their teamwork, their wins – it was commendable. It was a terrible ending to Celtics series, but it was definitely something worth respecting. I don’t know why I feel suddenly feel so ambivalent towards Lakers win & Celtics loss. Probably it was because it’s an athlete kinda thing. I seriously don’t know how to explain this feeling, as much as I wanted Lakers to win, I thought Celtics deserved to win too. Perhaps it’s because I really loved to see others work hard, be motivated, & do their best. Haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, why must there always be a win or lose? I believe all I can say now is all the best to Celtics for the next season. Let’s hope Celtics would come back next season with the same team, same coach. So here’s 3 cheers to Celtics, Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! :)

As for Lakers, what else can I say? CONGRATULATIONS FOR NBA CHAMPIONS BACK-TO-BACK! It must have been extremely sweet for them to win against their arch-rival Celtics & prove history wrong. Kobe (obviously) was the Most Valuable Player of the Finals, but I thought that Ron Artest was the Most Valuable Player in Game 7, while Derek Fisher had the Most Valuable Play (in the fourth) quarter. Amist all the celebration going on, I hope that Lakers can get another champs next year, with Phil Jackson as their coach, still.

Now let the pictures do the talking.

Today my sister left for Taiwan. She’s going to gone for 2 weeks! That means no more shopping / movie sessions with my sister while I’m having my holidays anymore. :’( But I know she’s going to enjoy herself at Taiwan, or she better do. Let’s hope she comes back with lots of souvenirs (heheheh).

To my sister: Please take care of yourself & erhem (my phiten). Rest assured I & papa will take care of mummy & cousin ^^

Yeah so after that was fitness training. I reached school pretty early, and then sat down to examine gilbert & jun xiong studying for their blocks. Their math issssssssssss DAMN HARD LOL.

So we ran to the gym, in which I almost died because I drank too much water after playing basketball. We did the normal routine & same lala & blah blah. Surprisingly most of the exercises got easier. Hopefully that goes on for the rest of the 8 weeks, improving our physical by leaps & bounds.

Now that I can watch FIFA World Cup 2010, & also NBA, I think my sleep time has decreased terribly, almost proportional to how much my wallet has been emptied since buying the phiten & wallet.

Morning watch NBA, night to morning watch World Cup, afternoon to evening slack or play dota or train.
My holidays = GONE.

But tomorrow is the last NBA match, The Finals, Game 7 – which Lakers will win without a doubt undoubtedly. So that will ensure me some more sleep, a bit.

Conclusion for today’s World Cup matches:
South Africa vs. Uruguay. 0-3. Uruguay is damn good at passing!
Argentina vs. Korea Republic was good man. 4-1 Great match :D Best of all the games till now I think.
Greece vs. Nigeria. 2-1. I was hoping Nigeria would win la!! Nigeria’s keeper was damn good, most of the time.
Tonight got France vs. Mexico. I think I’m going to watch that. So poof goes my sleep.

Tomorrow got training. MUST GO!!!!!! Because I haven’t really attended training since 58436783278435 years already.
But I’ll be training while NBA Finals are ongoing. DAMN!!! I really wanna watch Lakers own the shiz out of Celtics.

GO LAKERS DEFEND THE TITLE!

That’s all yeah.

Sorry for the incoherence in this post my brain is as messy as messi’s hair now.

“I mean, I’ve said the whole season, you don’t win a championship, it’s a failure…It’s as simple as that.’’ ~ Kobe Bryant

“It’s the ultimate player’s game…It’s the game that all the things you’ve worked on all year, you have to do it and execute it and trust and play.’’ ~ Doc Rivers

“I just love the pressure, truthfully…I love the fact that I get to play against the Los Angeles Lakers in a Game 7 on the road. I love the fact that if I don’t win multiple championships that I probably won’t be mentioned amongst the other guys in Celtic history that’s done it before. That type of stuff motivates me.’’ ~ Paul Pierce

“They have a locker room of guys as well that have had phenomenal NBA careers, and I think they’ll recognize as well that this is a special moment that you just don’t get to be a part of — I don’t want to say every season — but sometimes never in your career.’’ ~ Derek Fisher

"This is what the fans want. This is what the world wants. Game 7, Lakers, Celtics. This is history. What do I want? I want to be on the float taking my shirt off, screaming, celebrating a championship." ~ Glen Davis

"We're playing for the season right now. We played as a team and we came out knowing that we got to win. We played like champions. We haven't done anything yet. We've got to win one more." ~ Sasha Vujacic

Today is a really good day.

1. I returned the dvds to zheng ting, even though I didn’t attend training but whateverrrrrr~
2. I bought 2 wonderful things today at Takashimaya.

X50 Phiten Necklace!

Braun Buffel Wallet!

3. My sister & I bought Fathers’ Day present for our father! :D

X50 LeatherTouch Phiten Necklace!

Just when I was feeling like the king of my world with these stuffs, an incident on the bus made me realize something important.

Once upon a time there was this foreign worker, I presume, who was sitting the bus with us. When he was leaving his seat to alight the bus, he found something was amiss & started looking for it. While he was searching, I caught a glimpse of his expression. It showed anxiousness. It showed uneasiness. It showed fearfulness, & every other word that is synonymous. In the end my sister pointed to him at something that was on the ground. He picked it up. & his face glistened, literally. He grinned lopsidedly & his eyes shone like diamonds. Guess what he found? His phone, which was encased inside his phone holder/case/whatever you call it. Judging from the size of it, it can’t be any expensive phone like Iphone / Samsung Galaxy / something touch screen-y because all those kinda phones are normally quite big. He then kept thanking my sister for her help. It was really heartwarming to see it.

It made me realize something. Those who are less fortunate, they have to survive with the less luxurious things, be contented with the simplest pleasures. However the rest of the world who are better off than them, we are constantly not contented with our lot, & more often than not ask for more, when it is not necessary at all. We splurge our money buying bags after bags, shoes after shoes. We throw away precious food & water when millions, probably billions, out there are starving. Why can’t we think of others first before ourselves? Perhaps one day, we could all realize this simple fact, & put our money to better use, like donate it to the needy or something along that line. That way we could better others’ lives, & make theirs as worth living as ours, as fun as ours. You could say your life isn’t worthwhile to live for, isn’t fun to live in, but had it ever crossed your puny mind that there are always someone who is having it worse than you? Fully understanding that there can never be a utopian world, I guess we just have to work towards it no matter how impossible it may seem.

After processing through all that, I seriously felt quite guilty for buying the stuffs above. However, the only way to ‘repent’ the ‘sin’ is just to make the most out of it & ensure that the money don’t go to waste, right?

Okay rest assured that I will cherish my wallet & phiten.

:)

I WAS FIRST TO REACH CAUSEWAY POINT FOR THE STUDENT COUNCILLOR GATHERING TODAY.
How cool is that man. It has gotta be the first time since 4 years (SHOULD BE LESSER), that I’m earliest for something. Lol.

We queued up for Karate Kid at 3:05 first, got our tickets then went to eat lunch at Breeks.
I kinda got a bad impression of Breeks because they give minute servings & the food there aren’t exactly fantastic.
NO MORE BREEKS NEXT TIME AHAHAHA.

Karate Kid is nice so you better watch it! Yes just watch it okay then you’ll know how good it is I shan’t comment any further in case of any spoilers.

Later was sending Serene & Kang back home. We then decided to eat at Yoshinoya. Healthy meal hahaha but I don’t really like because too much greens. Not that I don’t like but their greens aren’t tasty! If they replaced it with fries I swear their business with shoot up like how justin bieber shot up to fame.

Chongwei, Wan Xin& Sarah went to Cold Storage to buy Each A Cup, which Chong Wei said was healthier than Sweettalk, while I bought McFlurry 8) The new McFlurry packaging damn cute. I like the new spoon!

Soon it was journey back to the West. As usual I & Chongwei took 963 home because we could talk longer. It was extremely engaging to talk to him. He kinda was like a batch mate & cca mate because he knew so much about the school & my team. It was always very interesting to talk about volleyball & results. I seriously hope that he can get into HCJC c’mon! :)

Today’s afternoon/evening/night was well spent but I spent the whole morning sleeeeeeeeeeping because SOME PEOPLE REFUSED TO LEAVE ME ALONE AT NIGHT WHEN I WAS SLEEPING. I ended up sleeping at 2.30am, but they called back at 3am. Disturb my beauty sleep!!!

So tonight I’m going to sleep early because there’s training tomorrow YES! I’m so excited so play ball again.

OH YEAH LAKERS IN 7 GO GO GO HUSTLE & BUSTLE!
Please please please please please please please Lakers must win Celtics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMN COOL.

GO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing is... Lakers in 7. ~ MAX!

Yesterday was a day I had to remember so I’m forcing myself to write this out right now.

Training in the morning was wet & great.

I am finally able to change my footwork, though it isn’t very smooth but practice makes perfect.
I’m starting to adapt to a proper hand swing motion, & this needs as much practice as the former.

Conclusion from yesterday’s training: Guys don’t buy FBTs to train if you sweat a lot, it sucks ttm.

& to Bingru: Please start coming for trainings & gym sessions. Also, start acting like a man, not a child.

I & JJ had lunch then back to school for gym training. Since we were around 2hours plus early, we had nothing to do.
We crashed Gilbert at his class bench then we started to play ball. Time passed fast.
When the rain stopped we went down to the court & played 1 v 1, 3metre line, half the court. Soon others joined in & we played 2 v 2. Gilbert & JJ still owes me & Mel 30 pumping.
Highlight was when Mel spiked a ball into Cassandra’s face, headshot. Even if you thought with your butt you will know that it’s damn pain, moreover she’s a girl. Things started getting lil hotty but I guess everything was solved in the end.

Gym session started with vertical jump measurement. My vertical reach is 2.20m. My vertical reach with jump is 2.69m. So my vertical leap is 0.49m. Hahahahaha very lousy yeah same sentiments. But it was a good wake up call.
I sincerely hope the JC’s 20 week training program would be highly beneficial to all of us.
We proceeded to running (running NOT jogging) from JC to the Gym. It was tiring man.
Then it was stretching & measure of our maximum weight for each station.

Note to self, maximum weight as of 10/6/10:
1. Squats: 80kg without the bar.
2. Lateral Pull Ups: 150lbs.
3. Wrist Curl: 20kg.
4. Leg Extension: Maximum.
5. Hamstring Curl: Maximum.
6. Arm Pull(?): 55lbs.

Due to privacy issues, I shall not say what we’re doing or how much we’re doing ^^

So that’s all. & my body is still aching badly now.

Hello world. I’m back after some time again.

So, yesterday was the last day of schooooooooool yay!
& it ended with a common test + an exam. How great right!?

Probably the school was trying to build on the ‘先苦后甜’ – No sweet without sweat kinda lifeskill.
Because it felt so damn great after finishing our Chinese common test & Humanities Exam OH YEAH BABEH!

I think I should be able to do well for Chinese, no surprises anywhere ^^
Geographyyyyyyyyy, let’s hope that somehow I get an A please please. I think I didn’t do badly actually but my results always seem to beg to differ. May my results be with me. Thanks.

I collected my term 2 results too. So damn blardy freaking disappointing!!! T_T
2.00 ARGH. I was supposed to get 1.89 man. ALL BECAUSE OF MR. DVT. I will never forget this Mr. Tan. I was fuming mad after I collect my results. Nuff said because more elaboration will cause me to explode.

Training was so-so nothing much but glad to see Pengru back in action :)

After training, me, shaw & zheng ting had a last minute decision to go celebrate Gilbert’s & Junxiong’s birthday with wayne, zuoquan & the birthday boys (duh). We waited for pretty long before finding seats at Fish & Co. The food is heavenly but the celebration was twice as good man! Gilbert & Junxiong had to stand on the chairs while holding sparklers. After all the sing & songs they were supposed to hold hands (HAHAHA WTH FUNNY!! BOTH UNWILLING PARTIES AS THEY HAVE EYECANDYYYYYYY) & blow out the candle, which the waiter had considerately placed around a meter plus away from them. HAHAHA seriously damn funny la they were so failz at blowing that the waiter had to put it right in front of them. We chatted till around 10 plus before going off. Hope those two birthday boys had a wonderful & memorable experience! ;D

Happy Birthday Gilbert, Junxiong, Samuel, Jody, Mingyu & Shi Tian!

& a Happy Holidays to all the kids suffering in school! :)

Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment. ~ Harlan Ellison

Let me give you guys a brief summary of last week.

Chemistry test!

Not too bad not very good either. I would definitely hope for an A1 compared to last term’s A2. Mr. DVT came into class & stated that our class test this term wasn’t as well done as last term. Regardless, hope for the best! A1 OH YEAH BABEH ~

Projects Day!

Results came out today. Semi-finals. Nuff said.

Math Test!

Results coming out tomorrow!!!! Please A1 please A1 come on come on.

Nationals B div finals!

B div girls finals:
Nanyang lost to dunman aw. But none the less both teams put up a good fight. I think Dunman’s main spiker – Jia En is damn good ttm. However I think that Nanyang’s team is more all-rounded.

B div guys final:
Hilda’s vs. Punggol. I seriously salute Punggol for going so far. It feels so surreal to remember the times when we were thrashing them in sec1 and 2. They have really improved sooooooo much. Sadly, St. Hilda’s Ben Choo was still there, so the probability of Punggol winning wasn’t high, probably around 3/10. It was a fantastic match still - the electrifying atmosphere, the fervent cheers, the rockin muzik. It felt like we were watching high school musical. LOL. Anyway congrats to Punggol for winning one set!

By and large, congratulations to all those who got top4 for nationals! :)

Saturday was celebration for my birthday & shoe shopping day.

After the NUS bsp talk, me, zhengting & wei ren went to Queensway to buy our shoes. So those die adrd Mizuno fans couldn’t find their wave lightning shoes because most of the shops there only sell asics haahha noob!

I got the shoe I wanted, but not the colour aw.

I wanted this.

Buden I got this. Not too bad but it could be more perfect.

At night, my family & I went to Bugis to eat steamboat. It was my first time eating steamboat in Bugis. At first the dirty environment turned me off; luckily the food & the cooking saved me. It was damn good in fact, just that the food to eat is pretty limited & the drinks were also quite limited. But overall I think I give 7/10 yay!
After that we went to shop around. So in the end I bought 2 shirts. Actually I was supposed to buy my new wallet, but there was no more stock & I didn’t want the one on display. Too bad too bad about it. The wallet looks very nice leh T_T the design is somewhat like my current wallet, which I like very much! HEHE.
Anyway, I’m back in boarding school for the weekend & that sucks because the internet here is cmi. I haven’t updated for so long I can’t even log in to internet, at all. So anyway, here’s a little update for you guys out there ^^

Happy Birthday Crystal Moh & Linshan! :)

Laughter is wine for the soul – laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness. Comedy and tragedy step through life together, arm in arm, all along, out along, down along lea. A laugh is a great natural stimulator, a pushful entry into life; and once we can laugh, we can live. It is the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living. ~ Seán O'Casey

2010-04-06T22:16:00.002+08:00

Okay hello wello peapurl I shall update on my Malacca trip!

Friday:

6 freaking hours of bus ride. I almost died sleeping man. For the first time sleeping felt so horrible. Since I was already in the sleeping mood, I slept even more at my grandma’s house. LOL. I woke up at night for a gratifying home cooked meal by my grandma. It has been around 2 years since I went back. I watched teevee while waiting for my cousins to come. The Malaysian channels are actually quite interesting! All the detective & police crime investigation drama serials. My cousins came soon & we went out for supper woo! Food is all around Malaysia, everywhere, anywhere. I swear. Wah rhymes leh. Supper was great! I especially liked the fried squids & fried yam. The beehoon soup & kuay tiao were not bad too.

I went to my cousins house to sleep for fun, but we had to wake up at 5plus am the next morning to clean our ancestors rest place.

Saturday:

I woke up super early today, like 5am or something. So ironic that when I want to sleep I don’t get to, yet when I want to sleep I can’t. My uncle drove my family & I back to my grandma’s house to change clothing then we quickly proceeded to m ancestors rest place. We wanted to finish up everything before the sun rise & eat breakfast together as a family (:

Firstly we started with my great grandfather’s grave, then to my grandpa’s lastly to one of my uncle’s grave. It was hard work man. Plucking out the weeds, cleaning the tombstone, washing the place, ‘colouring’ the tomb etc.

After everything we went for breakfast yay! Hainan chicken rice balls! I’m betting there’s no such stall in Singapore. It is like any other normal chicken rice, except that the rice is in the shape of fish balls, or simply just, balls. Damn cool, & obviously delicious. Haha! I went back grandma’s house to sleep again. I woke up in the afternoon for lunch whee ~ I had a small serving of Nasi Lemak at Ayam Delight. Ayam Delight is like a KFC, except that it sells MUCH MORE stuff. Basically it is a food court in a KFC. Amazing right!?

Then my uncle brought me around Malacca for a tour. Actually Malacca doesn’t have much to tour around. I think there are more food delicacies to look forward to rather than places of interest. The notable few places would be Mount China, where the ENTIRE FREAKING WHOLE mountain is buried full of dead bodies. & you guessed it, Chinese dead bodies. I swear it’s really the entire mountain man. Damn scary yet so rich of history. Next would be the fortress at which Portuguese fought with the (okay shit I forgot who liao) over Malacca for its territory. The other places I’ve not really stepped foot on looks appealing though. Maybe I will go there during June holidays. Hmm.

Next we set off for Portuguese Settlement – a place of wonderful scrumptious seafood. However the place was too frigging populated that we had to change location. Boohoohoo. So stupid la the place has 12 restaurants, BUT, only one restaurant has quality food. The rest of the restaurants are empty and crappy.

We then went to a Nyonya food restaurant. The food there was so-so. Not outstanding not average. However it was the company that counts! :) “With great company comes great food (even though they aren’t).” The previous quote was created by yours truly. LOL.

After dinner my uncle brought me to tour Malacca again. We were planning to go to their jumbo night market. Sadly, we met with an accident, ~~and died~~. It was my first time being in an accident, extremely scary la. I was resting peacefully until I heard a loud BANGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!! We met with a terrible accident. My uncle’s car banged onto a SINGAPORE WEDDING CAR & dented the front, while my uncle’s car had a long scratchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Dang. Tension. After they quarreled until the cows came home (which they eventually did), we were on the way back home :(

We waited for my aunty to come back from KL & had a heartwarming time talking to each other about random stuff. One of the major topics would be – to be or not to be Singaporean & National Service. All good things come to an end; some of my cousins had to go home. We took a family photo, ONLY WITHOUT MY SISTER & DARYL YOONG. Walau so sad la the FULL family is there except for the 2 of them leh. Sob sob sob sob. The rest of us who are staying over in my grandma’s house watched a movie & talked crap until 2 am before we decided to sleep. Time passes so fast when you’re lovin it.

Sunday:

7am lights up, bath blah blah la la la la with you ~ then breakfast time. We had dimsum and soon we were off to the bus terminal. Hai. I wished we had stayed there longer Longer LONGERRRRRR.

Hmph I’m booking my first week of june holidays for Malacca. Gonna spend some quality time there WOOHOO!

I had my chem. Test today, quite killer but I hope it comes back with an A1 none the less. Projects day tomorrow then math test on Thursday oh nooooooooooooos.

Abrupt ending, but its late. Time is money; I want more money, so I shall sleep now. Bai!

Tata peapurl.

The world and the universe is an extremely beautiful place, and the more we understand about it the more beautiful does it appear. It is an immensely exciting experience to be born in the world, born in the universe, and look around you and realise that before you die you have the opportunity of understanding an immense amount about that world and about that universe and about life and about why we're here. We have the opportunity of understanding far, far more than any of our predecessors ever. That is such an exciting possibility, it would be such a shame to blow it and end your life not having understood what there is to understand. ~ Richard Dawkins

Thursday:

Assembly was stupid. I don’t think changing your name to English, Chinese, Malay, Tamil, Korean or Jap has anything to do with anyone else. I found that day’s discussion totally p.o.i.n.t.l.e.s.s.

Anyway, we had last lesson for ELP Phase 1 that day. I quite like the ELP lessons other than the fact that they take up time for other more important stuff, although I’m really more interested in ELP than English or whatsoever, Geog.

Friday:

Chinese lessons in the morning, no kick. Phy6 lesson, demanding. IHE, Mr. Lim pon school. EF, write crappy SRQ. Current Affairs, slack.

I had some BSP presentation in IBP, but thankfully Gunny tanked the whole presentation for me. He’s one good guy man. We had to tour the parents around IBP later. I & Chun Yat were a group, & we led 2A3’s parents, if my memory doesn’t fail me yet.

The parents were extremelyyyyyyyyyyyy inquisitive!! Pretty engaging at the start, but slowly it was getting boring. I vividly remember this parent who kept asking all of us what the difference between CSE & IPSP is. In the end she decided to only find out about CSE.

Here goes,
Her: “What is CSE?”
Us: “CSE is Centre for Scholastic Excellence, where students do independent learning, need to take China studies in Chinese,…” ON & ON.
Her: “So what programs are there in CSE?”
Us: “HP, BSP, SMTP.”
Her: “So what if you are in IPSP? Are you in HP, BSP, SMTP?”
Us: “If you opt for HP, BSP, SMTP then you will get in.”
Her: “In CSE do you take higher or any subjects?”
Us: “Depends on whether you take HP, BSP, SMTP. You will have to do a research paper for all programs, & higher level in the subject of the program you opt for.”

She just keeps asking us about CSE CSE CSE. She just doesn’t get the BSP, HP & SMTP = CSE. After we tell her that, then she will say what about IPSP? They also have BSP, HP, & SMTP. After we tell her it’s IPSP then she will ask about CSE again. Wtf?
Damn annoying ttm.

I had a very late rest that day due to never ending enquiries from that lady, who caused me to reach home at 11plus.

Saturday:

I woke up at 10. Amazing. Then went back to sleep after switching on my computer. I opened my eyes, it was 1pm. LOL. I did some research on vertical jumps & holla! I got what I wanted. I went for NTU Run Round Singapore soon. It was super fun to run 3km with your schoolmates, teachers & public people. It didn’t felt like it was 3km at all. Probably it’s because the scenery is ever changing, & you won’t get bored of running. The goodies bag was damn scam, far from what I expected. It contained, maggie mee, red date with ginseng tea, tiger balm plaster, sweets – mentos, durian sweets from Hainan, white rabbit sweet , 3 vouchers – GNC, New Balance & I forgot what already. SO LAME LA. Compared to the Velocity the goodies bag, Heaven & Earth. However it was still a good experience. We contributed to breaking the world record! Congrats to our school teacher Mr. Yong for being the fastest marathon runner.
For the rest of the day I just slept my way over it.

Sunday:

Swimming! After so damn long. I miss swimming to freaking much! It felt a bit weird at first. The joint between my ankle & the foot seems like it’s dislocated, whenever I kick my legs it feels like it’s going to drop off any moment. The end came when I started butterfly. After around one lap while I was on my second lap, both my legs had cramp. What the freak super duper hyper cyber ultra very very pain. I changed to frog style & slowly struggled to the bank of the pool. I was trying to de-cramp my legs for the rest of the time.

Soon I return to boarding school & another week of school is starting. AH.

Monday:

I printed out my research on vertical jumps YAY! 14 pages. PE was pretty fun! Basketball! Luckily no more NAPFA test related crap.

Wah Mdm Chan praised me for my worksheet 5 woo I damn happy. HAHAHAHAA.

Lessons after that was boring, was playing Tap Tap Coldplay.

I’m looking forward to playing Wilson’s Itouch tomorrow. He’s going to delete all the other games & install Tap Tap Sin City.

OH YEAH BABEH~!

People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That's what it's all finally about. ~ Joseph Campbell

Once upon monday & tuesday,

Monday:

1. PE was retarded. I ran in sneakers because I didn’t know there was PE. Though I brought PE attire to do weights. Timing 11:39 AHAHA FAIL.

2. BSP talk ended at 5plus. I & Zheng Jie wanted to do weights but the Auntie said that the Weights Room closes at 5.30 – when it is supposed to close at 6 or later.

3. Teasing Zhi Rong was fun hahah. He was so frigging stressed over EP Quest. Cute little boy.

4. Finished HCVB Write Up OH YEAH BABEH ~

Hcvb Write Up.

1. Love Volleyball. Love Volleyball for the pure joy of accomplishment. Love Volleyball for everything it can teach you about yourself. Love Volleyball for the feeling of belonging to a team endeavouring to do its best. Love Volleyball for being involved in a team whose members cannot wait to see you do your best. Love Volleyball for the challenge of working harder than you ever have at something & then harder than that. Love Volleyball because it takes all team members to give it life. Love Volleyball because at its best, the game tradition will include your contributions. Love Volleyball because you belong to a long line of fine athletes who have loved it. It is now your legacy. Love Volleyball so much that you will pass on your love for Volleyball to another athlete who has seen your dedication, your work, your challenges, your triumphs... & then that athlete will, because of you, love Volleyball.

2. "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." The Hwa Chong Volleyball Team is all about maturing & growing from strength to strength with every victory & defeat whilst always aiming to scale greater peaks.

To help athletes gain much needed match experience & skills, friendly matches are organized all year round top of the usual trainings. Furthermore, overseas training trips are not just a springboard for better performances during tournaments but also to grow, live & bond together as a team.

The trophies mean nothing. The glory will fade. But what is important is that HCVB will always give their very best & cherish the teamwork & camaraderie for years to come. Even when you have played the game of your life, it's the feeling of teamwork that you will remember. You will forget the plays, the spikes, & the scores, but you will never forget your teammates & the times you have spent together. At HCVB, you will not only develop a passion for the sport but more importantly develop one’s own character as well.

No last game for HCVB!

I wanted to submit 1 & 2 together, but Mr. Tan said it was too long so I decided on 2 in the end.

ALL HAIL HCVB! :)

Tuesday:

1. Dr. DAVID WANG DA KUN IS DA BEST CHINESE / BSP TEACHER EVER.
连最高位的都没有权威，那谁有呢？我娘吗？
他们放的全都是狗屁！
**需要的是一个强大的伟人！

王老是我们爱死您了！

2. Max is starting to grow to love Maths.

3. Monopoly with Rong Hao!

4. Weights & play ball!

5. More or less finished BSP presentation.

Did weights with almost the whole team, Zheng Jie, Zheng Ting, Jing Jie, Shaw Shian, Wei Ren, except they who cannot be mentioned.

6. Skipped boarding school dinner for dinner with Wai Kiu at Coronatin Plaza, sorrowfully spoiling a sweet hc couple with their lovey dovey idontknowhat.

The End.

GENIUS!

Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?" Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?" And Vanity comes along and asks the question, "Is it popular?" But Conscience asks the question "Is it right?" And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must do it because Conscience tells him it is right. ~ Martin Luther King

Today, I skipped BSP Symposium for the CV Writing & Interview Workshop. After attending the workshop, I felt like I’ve done the smartest decision in my whole life. THAT workshop was worth 16 years of my life. It was one of the most important, if not THE most important lesson I’ve ever attended. If any of you have had the chance to, please attend ANY workshops conducted by Talent Catalyst. If it doesn’t help you in some way or another, I assure you my head. For those who didn’t sign up for this workshop in IBP, I think you’re one level below all of us who have attended it, definitely. Oh ya, I feel that 16PF pwns the MDTI, hands down.

2010-03-21T00:25:00.004+08:00

Let’s start off with some back tracking.

I meet some of my primary school friends for a mini gathering & bbq. I guess Wan Xin & Kang Raye was the earliest, followed by me, Hui Xian, Zuan & lastly Erica. *OH YA HUI XIAN IS DAMN TALL NOW LA 168 DANG* We ate at MOS Burger, as always, because we are still as indecisive as ever after 4 years. We bought some snacks & drinks on Cold Storage & I got nicknamed Aunty because I was too observant & meticulous. What in the world man. Then we proceeded to Crystal’s house.

At Crystal’s house, we first were playing cards in her room, as time passes we started to watch Peter Chao because it was amusing ttm. Love that guy man. Extremely comical. After watching loads of his videos we got tired of his accent & settled for Vacancy 2 in the living room. It was NC16 I think, & we were watching with Martin – Crystal’s cousin, who was half the age criteria. Wonderful experience for him. Erica came finally & watched the movie with us. Anyway the movie was so so ~ Its primary purpose was to allow time to pass faster as we were waiting for the rain to stop for BBQ.

We proceeded to BBQ pit soon, saying our goodbyes to Erica. Martin’s mum was helping us start the fire & everything. The guys helped in fanning the freaking fire while the girls carried the stuff. I think we’re kinda stupid. After attending so much BBQs together we didn’t bring anything suitable for fanning the freaking, still. But none the less it was great fun swinging your arms around like a mad dog trying to get the charcoal to BURN. Damn I really hate the charcoal man, it’s so arrogant, don’t wanna burn, faster. After everything was well, supposedly we were the ones doing the BBQ, however, Martin’s mum & the maids were doing literally EVERYTHING for us. We just sat down at the benches, waiting to be served with good food. Oh yeah babeh ~ the feeling of happiness. & mind you they cook really good BBQ food! Golden brown roasted chicken wings, tender juicy chicken chop, succulent satay, fat hot dogs, crispy prawns, mouth-watering right?

Faster all the sinful fattening, we walked around the digest the food then advanced to Crystal’s house to play. We continue with our poker cards frenzy. This time we played 6man asshole, with 2 commoners. After many rounds of it, we got bored of it & played SNAP! Oh my. It’s really how amazing a pack a cards ( with 2 cards missing LOL ) could make us so damn high. I swear SNAP! It’s the highest game I’ve seen with poker cards. It can make you go crazy, laughing. HAHAHA!!! After that we performed MAGIC TRCISK! Fun fun fun. Sadly, time passes by swiftly whilst you’re having fun, so it’s time to say goodbye. We took some photos to remember this beautiful day & soon it was farewell. Lucky Crystal. Didn’t have to travel back home because she was already there.

Poor the rest of us, especially ME, to travel home at 12am plus plus. The last bus back home was 11.32pm, so too bad it was midnight cabbing time, or rather getting conned time. I got home safely on the expense of 17.10bucks, but it was worth it.

Thanks Crystal for allowing us to wreck havoc in her room (not really, but out of courtesy).

Thanks Martin’s mum & the maids for cooking the delicious food for us!

Thanks Wan Xin of borrowing me 6bucks & Zuan for his 10bucks.

Lastly, thank you to all 6 of you for such a superb day!

Wan Xin, Kang Raye, Choon Zuan, Hui Xian, Crystal, Erica – you all have a special place in my <3

Now let the pictures speak to you thousands of words.
Wah Zuan so cute eh eh ~

Don't Zuan & Hui Xian look like a couple? o0ps sorry Zuan. HAHAHAHA.

This photo is kinda screwed.

Most of us looked sian here. Maybe too sad to say goodbye, too sad to smile. LOL.

I THINK I SPOILT THIS PHOTO SORRY JUST CROP ME OUT HAHA.

WOOPS I sleeping again hahaa sorry i think crystal's bolster too nice.

Everyone looks retarded-ly nice ^^

This is another retarded one. LOL.

ALL HAIL DA NICEST SHOT OF ALL.

Do you know what makes the prison disappear? Every deep, genuine affection. Being friends, being brothers, loving, that is what opens the prison, with supreme power, by some magic force. Without these one stays dead. But whenever affection is revived, there life revives. ~ Vincent van Gogh

Yesterday was wasted, but I hope today won't be wasted.

I had minimal training of 1hour before proceeding for phy6 lesson, which was kind of crappy. I can’t say I didn’t learn anything there though. Went back for training after lesson, but it was raining. We went through lots of trouble to finally find a place to settle down for lunch – adam’s food center. Found out a lot about bingru’s love troubles hahahaa.

Went home, took a nap before watching Bleach again. Yay! It has been very long since I’ve last watched it. Bleach reminds me of my sec1 & sec2 days, which were so fun & merry. I would give up almost everything to go back to those blissful days, & of course start volleyball once again as a sec1 & sec2 & play without regrets.

Late at night, where I was most peaceful, I found out about my homework. HAHA.

1. Mrs. Giam’s Powerpoint – I’m sorry I didn’t mean to forget about it.
2. Mrs. Jaya’s English SRQ - Since Zheng Jie has intentions to dao that I will just follow the flow.
3. Mdm Bian’s EXCO’s MSG – Lol JJ don’t believe me that I had collected it from everyone already. Tsk.
4. Chinese Compo
5. Chinese Newspaper Article Review
6. Chemistry Practical 4.3
7. Chemistry Practical 4.4
8. Chemistry Electrolysis Worksheet 2.2

15. ELP Harvard Business Review – What Makes a Leader
16. Many other leftover homework which I dowanna remember. ^^

Hmm it’s getting late, I think I shall start washing up to go out. Maybe I’ll update again later.

Yo peapurl, I’m back by popular demand heh, with a new skin :)

So, in the blink of an eye, 3 months of 2010 is going to be over. How fast is that? That is one quarter of the year already dudes & dudetttes.

So far, studies have been pretty good. Volleyball was painful. Everything else has been quite average. IBP is great fun though, love it!

Half the March holidays are already over. So what have I done? I don’t really know also. I guess it would doing cover letter, resume, research on Razer, DotA!, training, studying other stuff, & OBVIOUSLY CREATING THIS NEW SKIN & UPDATING HERE! :)

HAHAHA. Goodbye it’s late I wanna sleep.

Oh & I will try to update as much as I can k.

Try to have a good day today, wherever you are, whatever you do, whoever is near, if no one is near. Try to be happy, because you may not see tomorrow. There is someone this morning, who didn't wake up, who will never see this day. Try to feel lucky that this is not you. ~ Margaret Cho

Hello wello ^^ peapurl! I shall update (finally) about the Hainan trip first. My next post shall be about New Year. Anyway this is going to be an extremely super duper frickin long post. Okay ikuzo lets start on Day oneeee.

Day 1ne.

I reached the airport at 3.30 when we were supposed to meet at 4.30!! So early! I sat on the bench until my butt rotted. After the usual check-in registration goodbyes & what not, we boarded the plane. T!ger Airways, SUCK. I almost died in the plan ride. My ears were feeling extremely terrible – like a time bomb that was going to explode anytime. Either the budget T!ger Airways have budget pressure / atmosphere control or I was just abnormal. The food inside the plane was, incorrigibly expensive.

SEE FOR YOURSELF!

We got down the plane, the usual blah blah & waited in the bus for Glenn to come out from some health check because his temperature was too high.

The bus ride was pretty long man my butt spoilt twice for the day.

We waited to check into the ‘3-star hotel’ – 陈镇酒店, which was an utter downright total scam!!!!!

Although the bed & the room were quite cozy, it was still quite a budget-ty place. I lived in the same room as Zheng Jie! :D

After unpacking we went for our first meal at Wenchang high school – rice, chicken, pork ribs, veggies. Their veggies are very tasty I like! The servings there are hugeeee man.

Then we had basic volleyball training, super basic la lol.

jiaolian measuring the height of the net hahaa.

Soon it was dinner - rice, duck, veggies & chicken.

ahyo wayne dont look at your pretty pwetty photos la. EAT!

We went back & partied in Zheng Ting cum Hongsen’s room. We played Dai Ti, Bridge, L4D, LF2, watch teevee. Super fun!
& that was the end of day1.

Day 2wo.

First things first before I say how did the DAY go, let me complain how did the NIGHT went!

FREAKING IRRITATING MOSQUITOES BIT ME ALL THROUHGOUT THE NIGHT! They were buzzzzzzzing non-stop beside my ear! I had to hide / cuddle inside the blanket & almost suffocated, luckily there was 2 pillows so I used one to lift up the blanket for oxygen. I woke up with 7 mosquito bites. Rah!

Anyway, being the oh-so-good captain I always was (HAHAHAHAHAHA), I gave everyone morning call. So nice of me right! Everyone was punctual la duh ( COS OF ME ME ME ).

Our first breakfast in Wenchang high school was maggieeeeeee meeeeee with veggie & some meat. I also ate 1 hardboiled egg & 3 floss breads. I felt so full after the breakfast. Luckily I ate that much, because I never expected the training later to be, worst than hell.

THE MAGGIE DAMN BAGUS! :D

The slowest eater in hcvb history - Bingru.

We gathered at Wenchang’s track for our physical training. First up, 2k! It was so taxing on my ankles to run 2k T.T Mr Tok’s daughter outran us & lapped us one round LOL & she is only 7 years old. After that was very tedious & meticulous stretching & stretching, stretch until my whole body tired le la. BUT THAT WAS JUST THE WARM UP.

Next, was step ups, both directions, fast step frontwards & backwards, 三步, 解球, 三步plus解球, left leg hops, right leg hops, double leg hops, & sprinting.

This may seem like very little, but the coach there cares more about quality than quantity, so we kept doing the same drills like at least 4 times each before he is contented ( actually not really contented la but he knows we’re gonna die soon, really soon ). BESIDES, it was after all the shitty warm-up & stretching, I swear we almost died. I could sleep immediately if the coach didn’t ask us to do more drills la.

If you thought that was the end, go & die. He still had some more COOL DOWN PT for us! Sit-ups 30x2sets. Mermaid ON THE TRACK 30x2sets also. I sunpa the team can really finish one swimming pool after that la. Singapore’s pt is NOTHING compared to Hainan’s pt man. They do what we do EVERY MORNING WITHOUT FAIL, even more times & sets. No wonder all their players so tall plus legs looks so muscular like hourglass shape.

everybody terribly exhausted.

Later was lunch, thankfully. I was so tired that I couldn’t even remember what we ate for lunch that day. We immediately went back to the hotel to slack slack slack. At 4pm later that day still had friendly against Wenchang high school.

THEY ARE IMBAH. NUFF SAID. They are godly in terms of spiking, height & jumps. They thunder like nothing one la. After they thunder the ball will bounce back to their court so very hard for us to get the balls. Damn ass. They all jump at least 60cm some more. OMG.

This is how we count our scores LOL.

Overall we still played pretty well, lost all though, our best score was 25-20!
The night was colddddd after dinner.

Debriefed at Elvin, Wee Yong’s room, then went out for bbq!

Imam guaikia cannot eat spicy food because of my leg so I only ate bread, beef & sausage. But nonetheless it was niceeee, too bad I can’t eat spicy stuff or it’ll be even hotter! ;D

烧烤！Best!

& that’s the end of day2.

Day 3hree.

Woke up, breakfast ( remains as the best meal of the day ), then basic volleyball training again.

the maggie really damn nice okay.

wee yong pervy.

热烈欢迎新加坡华侨中学排球队的师生们！

向新加坡华侨中学排球队学习！Learn what from us when they so imbah?

Spiking, set games etc etc some of the normal stuff with different advice from different coaches.

We finished training, ate lunch then prepared for a stupid tour.

THE SAUSAGE & FISH DAMN DAMN DAMN DISGUSTING!!

LOL. Global branch of our school.

The slogan on the glass panel on the hotel is epic scam.

We visited 2 beaches,

Mr. Tok & his daughter, Erika!

hcvb! <3 src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs166.snc3/19342_228761748611_578023611_3204544_7119099_n.jpg">

A div :)

Fish tank!

See the hut over there? Thats the washroom.

UGLY PUFFER FISH.

This is where they train.

I wonder are those coconuts their refreshments?

Confucius’s temple 孔子庙,

This aunty damn annoying, the umbrella so big the gate so small she dowan siam.

Zheng Ting failz at starting a fire.

AHHHHHHHHHH, so warm :)

Erika trying to cook up the fire.

Hongsen the pro at starting fires!

& a supermarket.

DAMN COOL SUPERMAKET - appearance wise.

IMBAH wang wang!

One of the beaches was supposedly a tourism spot, whilst the other was where the Wenchang team trains. Everywhere in china there is a 孔子庙 la, I think.

After that we rushed back for friendly with Wenchang again. Lost all again sian.

THEY JUMP SO HIGH!!

Dinner. While on the way back we shopped a bit. Back in the hotel we taught Chong Hon & Han Ying how to play Bridge! Me – King of Bridge :D

We played until 12am & quickly went to sleep. There’s still training tomorrow. Ahhhhhhhh.

& that’s the end of day3.

Day 4our.

Woke up, breakfast,

Shaw shian & his cock ^^

normal training. So lame la the training I stand there watch the a div training -.- piss me & chong hon off ttm.

Lunch, then rest time before friendly with the monsters again.

Though we were very very tired & are supposed to take a gooood afternoon nap,

Wayne the panda.

some of us ended up playing Bridge in Bingru & Chong Hon’s room.

We headed for friendly, lost all, still. But we played well :) We gave them our school collar pins for souvenirs. It was the last friendly on the trip so sad BOOOHOOOHOOO! :(

Dinner then went back to the hotel while Zheng Ting, Zheng Jie & Dong Ying bought earphones from a cheapo shop.

While waiting for our supper, I, Kian Keong, Gilbert, Junxiong & Zheng Jie played asshole dai ti.

The supper was with the Hainan vb players! Cool neh! We ate bbq again, just that this time it’s at a restaurant.

Hainan chicken! Delicious!

Their porridge tastes damn good also!

We interacted with them, & learnt some secrets moves from them! Joking joking. Now I shall leak out some of the random facts about them.

1. They must be at least 175 to join the team.
2. They have around 100+ players in the team.
3. They all live together in the boarding school.
4. They have officially 5 male teams – A1, A2, A3, A4, & A5.
5. We played against A4. ( OMG WTH!? )
6. They all minimally jump up to 3.4m to be in the A(number) team. If not reserves.
7. They train physical from 5.30am – 7.00am.
8. Schooling from 7.00am to 11.00am, then 11.30am – 7.00pm training.
9. The most zaikia player was sitting beside me, with a height of 1.91m & reach of 3.47m. WHAT THE SHIT?!
10. Ch!na is not cool! But China volleyball player are downright cool.

Next, we went for LAN ( IN CHINA OMG! ) & the china guys owned man ( they could use sniper on scope & play!? ). Oh by the way their LAN was 2.5YUAN per hour, ~ 50cents in Singapore per hour. Shuang not?

THIS IS THE LAN CENTER YO.

Last words of goodbye with the Hainan players & headed back to the hotel. Before we slept, we killed mosquitoes for a comfy sleep that night. Junxiong with 0 kills, me with 1 kill, Wayne with double kills, Zheng Jie with 3 kills & Elvin with 4 kills. Cool neh. So many mosquitoes! Never ending cycle of mosquito breeding in that Hainan Island though. Maybe they should call it Mosquito Island.

wayne & his double kill.

& that’s the end of day 4.

LAST 2 DAYS GO GO GO. AHHHHHHH.

Day 5ive.

Woke up & quickly packed my stuff because we are leaving today afternoon.

Last training of the trip sob sob T____________T. Rather lame but nonetheless. Overall-y we learnt much. However for some reason the court was E.X.T.R.E.M.E.L.Y. dirty & S.L.I.P.P.E.R.R.Y. None of us had much mood to train anymore. I mean who would if every 3 steps you make most likely you will slip & fall or sprain your ankle.

We had lunch then hurried back to get ready to leave the ‘hotel’. YAY!
Before we checked in into the other hotel we had another tour around the place. Luckily this time the tourism spot is much more interesting. We were touring inside a dormant volcano mountain.

Scammer wang wang, only one piece. Tsk.

Wah Wayne so cute ah.

Team Weehur, with a lot of peapurl missing.

Then we went into the hotel! We finally found a more acceptable looking hotel man. It was plain cool. LOL. The rooms had almost everything; I wished my room was like that. We unpacked then played Bridge & got high with the many many cool facilities there.

Heavenly entrance.

Heavenly poster.

Heavenly room number.

Heavenly door to room.

Heavenly washroom.

Heavenly bath facilities.

Heavenly tea services.

Heavenly mirror.

Heavenly bed!

Dinner was sirloin steak. We’re retarded peapurl who goes to China to eat steak. But it was not bad, & it only costs 1buck more than Prince!

last dinner in hainan in 20000000009.

Shaw so shy shy ~

MY 浪沙牛排

Next was shopping till we drop. I bought some souvenirs & shoes. BUT I DIDN’T BUY THE PLAYBOY JACKET AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
BhFYTfJhfYT;JgYTECTUIhYEULjiT!!!

Failblog.

Failblog2.

Super creative stairs!

Unable-to-comprehend.

This is where i bought my shoesssss :)

I very sad I never buy la. Boohoohoo. Still, I was contented with the shoes, damn cool I like.

Debriefed at 11, all the way until 12+. We watched some DOTA channel,

DOTA channel omg!

played & played. I think I slept at 3+am, not sure about the rest.
So that was the end of our last full day in Hainan.

Day 6ix LAST DAY.

I woke up super early for breakfast argh. I wanted to sleep more but there were noisy peauprl & stupid morning callSSSSSSS. Though this was a hotel, the breakfast wasn’t as nice as Wenchang’s. Bleh.

Shaw looks like he's asleep while eating breakfast.

After that we headed for airport already then byebyeeeeeeeeeee Hainan!

Needless to say, I survived the retardedly horrendous & arduous trip of coming back to Singapore in T!ger Airways.

HOME SWEET HOME!

In a nutshell, we learnt loads, bonded even stronger together as a team, faced teams that are much stronger than National Champs, & we will be much stronger back in Zonals & Nationals.

• This post was crafted very long ago, just didn’t want to post it. So here it is. Hahaa ^^

2009-12-25T20:44:00.002+08:00

I’ve been going out so much these few days, woke up & felt my calves quite aching & ankles quite pain. Boo.

I guess this shall be my last post for this year or maybe second last. So here goes.
I’ve been going physiotherapy these few days as I’m going overseas to Hainan for volleyball training with my team tomorrow. Pretty exited!

So, at first the first few physiotherapy sessions were manageable as he just asked me do some basic stability exercises as well as exercise to train up my calf and (ankle) muscles. After 2 sessions of such simple physiotherapy, Edson told me that the next physiotherapy we’ll be doing some jumps after he taught me how to tape my legs properly. I was extremely keyed up!

Never did I know that hell training was awaiting me the next physiotherapy session. Firstly, Edson taught me how to tape my ankles properly, according to the Dr Ben Tan & Edson, it is much effective than wearing ankle guards or ankle brace, however it is quite unsustainable as it requires a lot of tape & it’s very sticky. He did a demonstration of how it was done on my left ankle, then it was my turn to tape my right ankle, it little bit complicated but luckily I still could memorise it, up till now. So! Anyone who needs me to help you tape your leg for extra protection for ankles, tell me! & prepare a lot of tape. The warm up was 5minutes of jogging. Then I proceeded to do step ups of 20 x 3 sets. After that was calf raise with weights of 10 x 4 sets. When that was over, I had to walk on tiptoes while carrying 5 kg weights for 5minutes x 3 sets. When all these were over, I was seriously quite worn out already. My calves were BURNING. Then he used the elastic tape & tied it around my ankle & I was supposed to like push or pull away from it for 10 x 4sides x 3sets. Later I had to balance on a board that had a roller kinda thing below it. It was more challenging than it looks! After doing it & falling down for quite some times, I realized that my left ankle is really much weaker than my right as my right ankle was much more stable. My right ankle could balance on it without falling down as compared to my left ankle which I fell like 3 to 4 times. Surprisingly, Edson took a ball & started to spike at me, so I was supposed to receive it while balancing it. It was kinda crazy la. But it really trains up my core stability of balance, so I don’t care. Next I had to balance on the gym ball single legged. It was also very demanding. But I managed it somehow. After that, I had to jump single legged onto a board which is around 20 cm for 20 x 4directions x 2 ankles. It was extreme man. It was super hard for my left ankle to keep jumping & jumping & landing & landing. I kept losing my balance. I swear it was harder than all the trainings I’ve been to throughout my 7 years of volleyball training. When I thought nothing could be worst, guess the next exercise? I was suppose to just over a SMALL HURDLE, around 30cm, SINGLE LEGGED. Oh my god la. I almost died I swear. Super duper hyper cyber ultra very very tough la. Jumping over & back is counted as 1. So I had to do 10 of those x 4 directions x2ankles. This is the HARDEST of all the exercises I’ve had tried before man. Then it came down to the last 2 exercises, by then I was already dying. The next one was that I have to jump front, side, back, side. That 4 jumps single legged was 1 set. I had to do 10sets x clockwise & anticlockwise x 2 ankles. What the heow man. THE LAST ONE. Was agility I think. I had to step into boxes & out for as many times as I can within few minutes. This was kinda the slackest, fortunately. After that I had to go ultra sound scan. They applied the ultra sound gel on my ankles & massaged it with the machine. Not bad quite comfortable. Actually anything away from those exercises were good. Lastly I had to do icing on my leg for 20minutes I hate the first few minutes. It was always burning/ cold ttm. But after a while I think my ankle & the icing reach thermal equilibrium. So there was not much pain anymore. That, was ONE session of physiotherapy. & I had another appointment with him THE NEXT DAY. The next day’s intensity was higher, so you can imagine the pain I’ve been through.

Anyway, I’ve been going to town a lot these few days. Munny $$$$$$$$$$ fly ~ I went to orchard on the eve of Christmas Eve for shopping with my sister & cousins. Nothing much except that there was A LOT of peapurl. We did minimal shopping as things there were pretty $$$$$$$. I only bought a levis jeans & belt. That was already 200bucks wth right. But quite worth it I guess. My cousin wanted to take many many pictures of orchard road so, we walked around the whole place & took photos.

Peeektures spam.

The picture I anyhow put one so don’t blame me for anything.

The next day was team outing!

I went to school to collect some leftover goods (ERHEM ERHEM BINGRU), buy school uniform, badges & collect my Christmas present from Galvin! :D

I went to school early to collect the polo tees because we left it three for 2 days already. Luckily nobody took it. So lucky man. I thought bingru took it, while bingru thought I took it. LOL. After I took the polo tees I walked to high school to buy uniform, turns out that the new uniform will only be available on 4th jan, Faith’s birthday! I bought badges for Zheng Ting, Hong Sen, & myself, & went to boarding school to collect my Christmas present from Galv. After everything was done it was already 1030, almost going to be for my date with teammates. Who knows when I going to go out already, Elvin smses to ask me buy for him. So the forever nice guy senior me walked all the way back to buy 5 more badges – this sentence, let it be sentence1.When I was almost out of school Peng Ru smsed me to buy for him. *insert sentence1*. I was ALREADY OUT of the school, waiting for bus, Han Ying smsed me to buy for him. *insert sentence1* AGAIN. So it turned out that I was waiting for the bus back home at 1130. SUPER LATE.

So in the end I met them at SHAW at 1.20, just in time for BODYGUARDS & ASSASINZ. The show was gooood. Action-packed & full of Chinese history. Fortunately I was in Bi-cultural Studies program, so I understood the plot. I guess the plot would be rather confusing for those who didn’t study china’s history. Zheng Ting went home while we proceeded to Iluma to play LAN, CS source. 3.50bucks per hour, expensive fun. So fun to kill all the nubs who play dotA all day long but don’t play CS. HEHE. Then some of them had to go home, BEING THE EVER NICE CAPTAIN ME, I treated them to Chewy Junior, my all time favourite snack :D Then we went to Bugis street as Han Ying wanted to buy new Bermudas. As we shop shop along, Dong Ying was tempted to buy too, so there goes 25bucks for 2 berms. Later Han Ying went to the airport to fetch his parents home (*WONDERFUL* Christmas present for him). We ate at Fish & Co. the funny part was when we were preparing to pay, the GST & SVC was loads man. In the end we were so pissed we gave them a lotttt of coins. The total bill was 81bucks! Then we went to Orchard to spend the last of Christmas Eve.

I SWEAR ORCHARD IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE FOR GIRLS. You will surly confirm plus chop guarantee get molested or something la. There are SO MANY peapurl!!!!! I had to hug zhengjie’s bag, Dong Ying had to hold onto my shoulders, but Wei Ren had no trouble at all – he is 185cm tall. LOL. The lightings were not bad, but incomparable to last few years, probably due to the economic crisis. Another lousy point is that there are ecstatic peapurl who sprays the soapy thingy thingum. Luckily we ALLL escaped it by constantly dodging & moving very fast across the crowds. Lastly, the lousiest thing of all it that there is NO COUNTDOWN AT ALL. SO SDOOOBID.

I reached home super late, & conversed with friend(s) until even later though I was really tired, but all was worth it becos I’m leaving for Hainan tomorrow till 31st December.

BYEBYE GUYS! MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D

GOING TO HAINAN FOR TRAINING! GO TEAM GO (:
Hcvb ftw!

2009-12-19T20:02:00.004+08:00

Let’s start the update with the recent 6 Diligent Gathering.

We were supposed to meet at East Coast Park BBQ pit D48. Since there was a straight bus – 196, from my home, I obviously took it out of laziness. Never did I know it took around 2 hours from my house to the bus stop. I sit until my butt rot already. I counted, it was 78 stops. SIAN. Can you understand my misery?! I got down 196 & started to slowlyyyyy walk there. SPRAINING BOTH LEGS IS SO ~!@#$%^&*() troublesome to walk! Hate it. At first I didn’t know where was D48, so I just anyhow walked, when Kang Raye called me, we realized that I was walking the opposite way. Dang. Kang Raye ran to find me. Thank you very much (: luckily we found each other soon & started to walk the right way, literally the right side, way. Okay here’s the worst part, the bbq pit D48 is so DAMN frigging FAR. I sunpa it took me at least half an hour to walk there man. CRAZY. We reached the pit (not so soon), & played with the water. It was gratifying to see so many of my ex-classmates there. Around half. HAHA. I think it was around 22+. The bbq was failz. I believe that they took around 2 hours to start the fire, & when it extinguished, they took another 1 or 2 hours to start it again. In the end only the first fire cooked edible food, the second fire was so (strong?) it overcooked all the food. All in all, I thought it was quite fun, considering the overcooked food, rain, walking distance & what not.

Let the picture do the rest of the talking ~

Zuan hungrily looking at the food on the tissue paper, or sexy Amanda’s legs?

Now what is zuan looking at or thinking?

Oh. So all he wanted was just to give kang raye’s butt a flying kiss.

Erica : “ wan xin I want to take picture with youuuu.”
Wan Xin : “ omg nyehhhhh.”

Erica : “ Huixian I want to take picture with youuuuuu.”
Huixian : “ okay. (poses)”
ME : “ let the chopstick destroy to picture.”
Erica : “ Stupid Max! Go away. Huixian lets take 2.”

Turns out that without my ‘help’, Erica looks super wrong, & Huixian looks like a VAMPIRE I sunpa. LOL.

ME : “ I’m sorry kang, I was trying to get out of your couple photo but too late.”

ME : “ time for foooood(?)”

ME : “ GIMME SOME FOOOD!”
Kang : “ Don’t forget me.”

Erica, Wan Xin: “ DOWAN TO GIVE YOU. “
Zuan : “ Nyeh ni nyeh ni poo poo! “

ME : “ emo. Go away. “

Erica : “ let’s all take many many peektures first then I give yall food.”
Zuan : “ walao so mean, Bish!”
Huixian : “ -.-“ - I sunpa it looka ALIKE.
ME : “emooooooo.”

Huixian & I tying the knot. LOL.
Wan Xin : “ YAY! “
Zuan : “ my huixiannnnn :( “
Erica : “ I don’t care I very happy, still. “

Kang Raye : “ huixian dowan to tie the knot with me.”
Wan Xin, Erica, Zuan : “ SO HAPPY. “ * Smilessss*

Huixian & her 4 suitors with matchmaker Erica.

Me, Wan Xin, Kang Raye, Zuan : “ OUR MATCHMAKER!”
Erica : shining radiantly I had to close my eyes.

Zuan : “ OMG HUIXIANG SITTING BESIDE MEEEE <3 “
Wan Xin : “ SIALA SO PRETTY. “

Zuan : “ZOMGWTFBBQZXZ”.
Wan Xin : “ OMG! “
Kang Raye : “ I see pretty or not.”

Me, Huixian, Wan Xin, Kang Raye : “ LIKE WHOA WHATS SO BRIGHT!”
Zuan : “ erhem me la of course I limelight! “

Me & Huixian : Couple 1ne.
Erica & Kang Raye : Couple 2wo.
Wan Xin & Zuan : “ we so extra but nevermind. “

Kang Raye & Erica : “ woah camera man so handsomeeee.”
Wan Xin : Cant control his laughter.
Me : “ `bleh! “
Huixian : “ must pose nicely so he will notice me! “
*on a side note, Huixian’s hands look LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Me & Kang Raye : “We sounded the Hunter's Horn. We were successful in out hunt! We caught a 65kg Monkey Choon Zuan Mouse from the Festive Comet worth 3,794 points and 967 gold.
The mouse also dropped the following loot:
1 Six Snow Balls”
Huixian : “ this mouse so cute!”
Erica : “ They sounded the Hunter's Horn, but my efforts were fruitless. A Monkey Choon Zuan ate a piece of cheese without setting off my trap. BISH! “

Wan Xin : “ Zuan I think got stalker talking pictures of us.”
Zuan : “ woah wait I pose first (:”

Zuan : “ just now not nice, take 2!”
Wan Xin : Hides away.

Zuan : “ still taking!? I smile again.”
Wan Xin : “ I go call the police.”

Zuan : “ STILL TAKING I GO HIDE ALREADY! “
Wan Xin : “ HAHAHAHAHA now my turn to be the limelight! “

Zuan & Wan Xin : Disappears in a split second & the end.

* every caption is just for fun & no offence intended to whosoever.

OKAY WHAT THE HEOW I SPENT 2 HOURS DOING THAT HAHHAA.

Kay moving on, I shall update about yesterday’s physiotherapy!

I went to novena early to accompany someone to the hospital since I had physio also later. We walked around velocity, sqaure2, novena square. In the end we sat down & chatted for damn long. We also watched the ice skating at velocity at 12.30pm. my second time watching, but still very nice!

I sent my friend to the mrt then went to meet my sister for the physio.

My psychiatrist is Edson. Damn cool. He asked me about how did I injure my BOTH legs & gave me some massage & tested the workability of my legs. Later we started doing some exercises to strengthen the other legs muscles in my legs. The hardest was the balancing on a see-saw kinda board while throwing balls to him. That was super crazy. So hard to balance! We did many many exercises. After that he used the ultrasound gel & massaged my ankles, but I think it was to scan for progression or something. Lastly I had to ice my ankles for 20 MINUTES. SUPER COLD SUPER BURN LA. The pain was excruciating man. I almost died inside the room. Luckily they professional, use dry ice, so don’t have any water dripping out, if not I really come out frozen.

I finished my physio then headed home. Soon after that I went out with my family to watch Avatar 3D!

Avatar 3D truly is something else, a wondrously-detailed visual extravaganza quite unlike anything you've seen before. I SWEAR. WATCH IT! Nuff said.

BYEBYE.

of baika.

I sprained my RIGHT ankle today. Wonderful.

I went to another godlike Chinese physician today. I thought he was not bad. According to all the Chinese physicians I’ve seen, I think I would rate him number 2, losing out only to my childhood favourite Chinese physician in Malaysia. My favourite Chinese physician is the best one la. He use acupuncture then I recover a few days later already. Very very fast compared to singapore’s shits.

Either I am fated to be like this or I am just plain SUAY. Right foot at least 4 weeks to recover. Left foot at least 6 weeks to recover.
So in the end I trained for 3 years just to sit on the blardy bench, or maybe not even sit the bench. Stupid. Plain stupid.

“If you don't do whats best for your body, you're the one who comes up on the short end. “
-Julius Erving

However, I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game & perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.

Argh life sucks man fml(legs). What now!?!?!?!

Palliate

2009-12-12T19:20:00.001+08:00

I woke up so early today, around 8am. THAT’S SO EARLY FOR A NORMAL NOCTURNAL ME. My sister & I went down to novena & looked around for the Novena Medical Center. We went there too early & so I ended up reading newspapers. How ironic that Singapore celebrates topping medal tally, whereas the next day drop already. We waited for quite some time before going into Dr. Benedict Tan, the doctor’s office.

Firstly he asked me about how, when & where did I injure my ankle. Then he asked me to jump on my left foot only! I was extremely reluctant but anyhow la. Luckily it didn’t hurt much. Later he asked me to sit on the medical bed while he checked my ankle(s). Suddenly he took out one tube of thingy, & squeezed loads of jelly on my ankle. I realized he was performing ultra-scan on my ankle. So cool neh!

He checked a lot of places around my ankle & realized that one of my ligaments is COMPLETELY TORN. Sadly, as he says, there is no possibility of recovery, so forever goodbye to that ligament already. He also found out that both the tendons on my left ankle, right side & left side, was swollen & had fluid around it. Another of my ligament is slightly damaged also, as seen from the ultra-scan where the ligament is supposed to be, was not, & was replaced by some fluid. After that he also saw that some parts surrounding my ankle there had fluid, which isn’t supposed to be there. He suspects that internally inside my bone got crack or maybe the cartilage broke. In the end he talked to me about the torn ligament & everything. Sooooooooooooooo, my ligament can neverrrr heal back again. & my ankles can neverrrrr function like a normal human anymore. But all is well; I didn’t damage the ligament that is responsible for jumping. Turns out that with that ligament torn, I will not know whether my ankle is twisted or not, so I may just injure it again without me knowing it. BUT there is still hope as I can slowly train up other ligaments & muscles to send the information that my ankle is bent through physiotherapy. Through the physiotherapy I will also learn how to professionally tape my ankle to support it so that hopefully no further damaged is done. COOL.

I felt pretty relieved actually knowing that I still can play & jump. The torn ligament didn’t really affect me much because I know I WILL train back the ability to know what position my ankle is in. I think the worst part was it will take VERY very VERY very long to heal & at most my ankle can function up till a normal person’s ankle to 70%, unless there is a miracle that my ligament by hook or crook, grows back or heals itself. The other painful thing is OF COURSE – THE BILL. A grand total of 238bucks WOO. Quite crazy. Okay not quite, REALLY CRAZY. But I know its professional treatment so, no regrets!

This is the url of the place I went for treatment.

I had bbq with the some of the sc06 peapurl on Monday. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME COOKING BBQ. The food turned out not bad okay. I think I got my father’s genes. Thinking back, I almost got scammed by an evil old man at jurong east mrt! He claimed that he got no munny so he asked me to buy for him the standard ticket. But when chongwei called for help from the smrt service, he quickly panicked & took out his OWN ezlink card. The guy even told us that they always see him here, don’t be alarmed, they will help him. Walao what the, blind already still wanna scam. I hope he walk into the mrt tracks la. So evil.

Back to the bbq, we had a surprise birthday party for serene. Hope she enjoyed it. All sarah’s credits! Love chongwei’s household man. So fun to be with those guys, choon zuan, kang raye, wan xin, again :)
Wish for many more to come! ^^

OKAY TUESDAY IS OFFICIALLY OVER. So is Wednesday though. BUT MY ANKLE IS STILL IN PIECES.

Actually I think the medication is pretty good, but just not good enough for my ankle’s injury. I’m going to change to go see another doctor, the 3rd one already. According to the Chinese physician, I got hairline crack, means I cannot do aggressive sports or exercise too much. However I also have ligament tear, vein burst & low blood circulation so I need to exercise more. I guess that is why take so LONG to heal. Ankle please heal okay I love you. Imagine I chop off my ankles & have a surgery. Get those metal ones. My jumping will be like those people acting in the show Hotshot. So cool la, can jump so high! Okay enough of the nonsense.

HAD OUR FIRST WIN AGAINST VOLLEYSPORTS BLUE YESTERDAY AHHAAH YES WEE! HUR! SO HAPPY YAY YAY YAY. We had almost a full team except Darren & Zheng Ting who are both overseas. The rest of the team’s ( Junde, Kuanhe, Ruiyang )return is a blessing!
So now we have 4 points! Having match against sthildas alumni today. Die. Tomorrow is a crazy day.
Full day training non-stop action, from 8am until 10/11pm.

Boohoohoo the Hainan trip so frigging expensive la 868 PLUS PLUS. I dowanna go man so damn expensive plus my ankle. Sigh. Sigh sigh.

I’m plagued with injuries this month. Lousy. Save me!

First things first, Happy Belated Birthday to my Daddy :)

The bestest papa ever. Nuff said. Wish you all the best in everything you do especially work-wise. Stay happy & healthy!
“& in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”

Secondly, Bingru, Zhengjie & I went to see the so called godlike Chinese physician at ang mo kio today. We were supposed to meet at ang mo kio mrt station at 11am but I woke up at 11am. Anyway, we found our way there, it was inside his HOUSE. When we reached he was eating lunch while we sat down to watch television. Zhengjie went for treatment first. The ahgong knock knocked his back a bit, asked him to stand up, bend down & stretch his back, then applied the renowned traditional medication. It took less than 5 minutes. Whereas for me, he massaged a bit then applied the same medication. It took less than 1 minute I think. He did the same thing to Bingru’s ankle. Bingru had shoulder pains so it took a little bit longer. & obviously he massaged a bit then applied the same medication. The whole treatment duration took less than 10 minutes I swear. The ahgong kept saying me & Bingru bully Zhengjie by kicking him that’s why our ankle pain, cannot bully him anymore. Very funny la he. He said if our ankles still feel pain we can go to the butcher to chop off our ankles. Also, the weirdest thing is that you can pay any amount you want, but place the fee inside a red packet.

Whatever the case, however unprofessional he looked & treated us, I just hope his legendary medication can heal my injury, fast. It needs to get well on Tuesday for a friendly against Geylang Methodist, while Wednesday, Thursday & Friday I have competition. C’mon!

Lastly, I CHANGED MY BLOGSKIN YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

I’m so happy HEHE. The background is based on Final Fantasy XIII Versus.

Okay I shall stop here. I shall update again on Tuesday to judge whether the famous medication is really as magical as it is said to be ( probably not though ).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that's where I belong

Yet I'm running to her like a river song
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love

She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache, in the night like a thief

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
(Love, love, love, love, crazy love)
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Yes I need her in the daytime
Oh but I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin, brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
I need her love, love, love, love, crazy love
Crazy love, crazy love, crazy love

p.s. I'm not in love hahahaha.

Pretty interesting huh.

Ahhhhhhhhh it’s 2nd december already. Times flies. I don’t even know what have I done for the past few weeks. I guess 2 weeks on u16, & 2 weeks of rest. SO FAST SO FAST.

& until my leg hasn’t shown much improvements :(
I think this is one of my worst injuries, being MIA for so long. I can’t run, can’t jump, still. So shingz.

Yesterday was WEEHUR’s first u19 match. We played against Beng Hui. I wished I could play. Boohoohoo. Everyone thought that we will get massacred but I guess it turned out pretty acceptable. We lost 2-1 but nobody expected to win. Couldn’t say that we earned that one set but I guess we deserved it? I think our next match is on Thursday. WEEHUR OSH. HHAHAHAHAHA!!

Lets watch more videos yay.

I MUST RECOVER SOON PLEASE. Tomorrow I’m going for check up again. Seriously my ankle isn’t progressing at any good rate. Nothing seems to be recovering. So sad so sad so sad.
I want to play at least one match of u19 in proper form come on ankle lets do it.

Okay some background info about WEEHUR.

In June 2009, the Company set up a wholly owned subsidiary, Wee Hur Development Pte. Ltd. - http://www.google.com/finance?q=SIN:E3B

I guess this should be the right company that sponsored us.

On a side note, I WANT TO CHANGE MY SKIN BUT MY PHOTOSHOP EXPIRED ARGH. What can go worst man.

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

So Happy I could DIE.

2009-11-27T20:27:00.002+08:00

Not really.

I shall update from the last time I updated.

WE GOT THE CHAMPIONS! of Group B!

Walao I really got a lot to rant for u16.

Firstly the draws are screwed.
Let’s see. We beat yishun town. But yishun town got into a MUCH better draws than us for second round. So they ended up in THE FINALS. WTF?! Whereas for us we ended up being in the same draw as Punggol, whom totally tok us la 25-15,25-13. Though can’t be helped since I wasn’t playing. Stupid. Punggol got into top 4, but they had to meet st hildas in the semis when are they capable of being in the finals if they met the other teams. So they s.u.a.y.s.u.a.y. had to fight for 3rd & 4th placing.
To conclude the draws are indescribably screwed.

Secondly why are we always so damn unlucky?
WHY DID I HAVE TO INJURE MY BLARDY ANKLE BEFORE THE DAYON THE DRAWS! Then since I’m sucha lucky star there goes our good draws. That’s why we ended up with punggol & st.hildas (Y) Best Denki.
I couldn’t play during the punggol match for nuts so I just watched them get toked. Superb.
AFTER 2 WEEKS OF REST I AM STILL MISSING IN ACTION MIAMIAMIAMIA.
Becos I innocently stepped on a litttleeeeee ball during jump serve.
Chinese physician told me it was pretty good I didn’t break my leg – I only sprained both sides of my left ankle, dislocated vein, ligament tear & hairline crack.
Oh so nothing much. Nuff said.

Thirdly there goes our last year joining u16.
GOOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE U16. Whyarewealwayssofriggingsuay. Anyway I don’t even know how am I going to play for u19 in such a LAME state la. Putting me into the team ~ wasting space. (~ Is known as tilde! In maths it denotes ‘is equivalent to’ )

Let us move on to SC Camp.
It was seriously kinda screwed.

Somehow everyone else except those from our batch thought that it was pretty good. But maybe because they are green horns so they don’t really know how far away the camp was from perfect to us.

Even though the programs were pretty bad but I guess someway or another we enjoyed ourselves, mostly from doing sentry duty. We told each other ghosttttttt stories which were omg dang scary. The ahma & the tekong freeze to death really damn bloodcurdling. I very petrified of NS now. I have to do malaysia’s & singapore’s one some more. Anyway, kudos to those who didn’t the whole night – me, xinpei, siew ming, jozoe (& zuan?). But sucks to them cos they all fell sick except for me & zuan.

The following days after that were meaningless. Just travelling to & fro from clement – woodlands to accompany some cock eye.

Yesterday was PSLE results release! I think WDP’s overall performance was pretty acceptable. Though PSLE results is totally USELESS later in life I guess it still matters a lot to those little p6es who needs it to go to their preferred secondary schools. On a last note, good luck to all those p6es in getting into your ideal school now that you’ve collected your results.

LAST LAST LAST THING OF THE LAST.

WILL MY ANKLE PLEASE RECOVER I SPENT HUNDREDS ON YOU.

Boohooohooooo.

I was so bored.

& if you are really as bored as me watch this.

So these few days ~

Firstly we signed up for Youth Cup U16. FINALLY. Our TIC so slack don’t even want to sign up for us, make me & bingru go all the way to toa payoh from school. The meeting was super tense. Drawing the groups was worst. Bingru & I was felt very out of place as everyone there were either coaches or teachers’ in charge, however we are only teenagers.Everyone was fighting for the best slots in various groups, but sadly it was decided by drawing lots in a breadtalk plastic bag. Anyway, here are the draws.

U13 Boys.
Group A – Clementi Woods, Hwa Chong, Bukit Panjang, St. Hildas, Sembawang.
Group B – Anderson, Catholic High, Zheng Hua/ Zhong Hua, Dunman High, Punggol.
Group C – Xinmin, Yuhua, Dunman Sec, Pasir Ris Crest, West Spring.
Group D – Yishun Town, Hong Kah, Victoria, Clementi Town, Chong Boon.

U16 Boys.
Group A – St. Hildas, Chong Boon White, Bukit Panjang 2, Pasir Ris Crest, Victoria, Catholic High.
Group B – Yishun Town, Dunman High, Clementi Woods, Hwa Chong, River Valley, Sembawang.
Group C – Xinmin, Anderson 1, Anderson 2, Bukit Panjang 1, Hua Yi.
Group D – Zheng Hua, Evergreen, Yu Hua, West Spring, Punggol.
Group E - Chong Boon Black, Clementi Town, Pasir Ris, CCH Yishun, Dunman Sec, Zhong Hua.

For the sake for Jiaolian’s girls team, we took down the groupings for Dunman as well.

U13 Girls.
Group B - Bukit Panjang 1, Ngee Ann, Dunman High, Punggol, Sembawang.

U16 Girls.
Group E - St. Hildas, Dunman High, Anderson, Sembawang, Woodlands Ring.

We collected our jerseys on Saturday. I thought that the jerseys didn’t look too bad, quite cool actually, based on my primary school’s colour – Maroon.

Well, today the Beijing Satellite Campus(ers) & the SAP scholars left for China, Beijing & Shanghai respectively. Hope they have the time of their lives! Just like me! :)

Bsc was seriously a wonderful experience for me. Nothing can beat that indescribable experience. I’ll be looking forward to hearing their vastly different experiences in BSC. BSC seems so near yet so far.

Next, to those going overseas this week for other exchange programs like Samuel Lau & Hong Jie – ENJOY YOURSELVES!

So anyway. HAVE FUN GUYS! I WILL MISS YOU ALL! <3

BON VOYAGE TO THOSE BSC(ERS) & SAP SCHOLARS!! (though you should’ve rightfully landed already)

& also to those going Australia soon ^^

Goodbye!

The Great Wall :)

Tell me why!

2009-10-21T15:19:00.002+08:00

SO. I’ve collected most of my results. But I’m not gonna tell yet until it is finalized.

School is starting again tomorrow woo. Good thing is I bet, I hope, there is no more lessons while the flipside should just be waking up early in the morning. Never mind IT DON’T MATTER.

We’re having training tomorrow again omg. MY BACK IS BREAKING, MY MUSCLES ARE ACHING. Literally. Metaphorically. Physically (duh).

Anyway, I think our under 16 registration is screwed. Don’t know what is Mdm Lim doing seriously. Up till now still have not registered yet. I gotta feeling. That we are not going to be able to participate due to Mdm Lim’s muddle head. I’m gonna be so damn pissed if we really can’t participate so she better.

Tomorrow last paper check. English! Hopefully an A maybe?
Tomorrow is the freedom from commitment to sec3. Woo.

Let us start it off with SNSD YEAH.

SNSD MY FAV FEMALE KOREAN BAND! :D

Today was extremely because Wei Ren bought me an OB Sabah shirt.
That rocks ttm.
The meaning of the shirt lies more than the shirt itself, but within captivates redemption, forgiveness & many else.

Thank you Wei Ren, very very much.

Secondly, I saw Bishan g@y on 156 today omg.
This sucks.
That sucks.
He was starring at me all the time, those sneaky eyes freaks me out.
He tried to take a picture of me but i hoped he didnt manage to get one since i hid behind an auntie sitting in front of me.
Luckily Yao Ge & Lin Zhuo was there to fight off this g@y.
I dont like the feeling, AT ALL.

Lastly, everyone read The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

:)

Reminiscence

2009-09-01T15:51:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was Teacher’s Day visiting & celebration, well not exactly.
Celebrations at HCI were a bit different from the usual. Thumbs up for Cheng Yong’s magnificent display of material arts though he forgotten some steps. The highlight of the celebration was probably the guessing teacher quiz. Some teachers really looked different with their certain body parts covered with smiley faces. I gave my teachers their respective presents and headed for Causeway Point on 961, reading Kite Runner.

I met up with Wan Xin, and then shopped around for Kang raye’s present. We ate at mos burger, while waiting for everyone else to turn up.

Finally Choon Zuan, Chong Wei, Sarah, Serene, Ryon, Shi Hui, Hameed, Atiqah, Jie Yi, Gang Yi & Dickson came. We walked to school, and waited at the foyer to meet our teachers. We saw our beloved Mrs Ong, Me Teo, and Ms Lim & obviously many many other ex-classmates, batchmates & juniors. I felt that Teachers’ Day wasn’t really to meet to teachers, but to catch up with ex-classmates.

We played ball after getting chased out, after which we slacked at the void deck around Minimart. We saw Lin Jian, Charlene & Stephanie, & got news that Mdm Chiam is coming down to meet us at 430. She was utterly surprised to see us, thus she treated us to drinks, INSIDE the school canteen. Ahhhhhhh, the parade square would’ve made me cry if I stayed there any longer. It reminded me of catching, running, pe, queuing up after recess & what not.

We had a short but meaningful chat with Mdm Chiam. She talked a bit about her life now, but mainly she wanted to know more about how we were doing. Everyone’s fine :)
Sadly, I had to go home after that.

& that was the end of such a beautiful day for me.

It was a powerful haunting, moving, unexpected, unforgettable, evocative & genuine day.

Extraordinary.

I bet i felt better than how the protagonist in this story felt.

:'(

2009-08-15T18:30:00.002+08:00

I'm updating not for the fact that i am overwhelmed by any motivation to post or anything.
But i just realised that last june was the last june holidays that my batch of hcvb-ers will be training together in high school for competition etc.
when next years june holidays come by, (i certainly do not hope that) some of us will go our own ways & pursue our vastly different interests later in junior college.
Hopefully, non will quit regardless of the intense competition for top 7 in jc. Till then, i guess i shall just have to cherish the last few months of training with my treasured fellow sec3 teammates. I mean, i must.
GO HCVB! :D

Life is short, take the plunge, enjoy the flight.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Sir I just wanna say thank you...you saved my life."

So tell me, what's your deepest fear?

Where the stroy ends?

Hi peapurl. I came back to blogging to record down my memories. & this memory shall forever stay in my mind.

Once upon a time,
A little boy called max was living contented with everything in his life. But tragically as every typical story tale, something bad has to happen. To narrate & summarise max’s downs in this story would be nearly impossible as his linguistic ability doesn’t allow him to jot down such terrible happenings in a matter of sentences, phrases, needless to say, words. His best attempt would be, all I wanted just sped right past me, & now everything breaks into. I shan’t go into details as they are pretty personal. You may ask from me personally if you are in extreme curiosity but take heed, I don’t tell everyone & anyone.

Wanna know the ending? Keep tuning to find out more. Though max’s live story doesn’t end so fast & early. But it is promised by the author that by the end of this chapter it would be a good & happy cliché ending of the ‘& they lived happily ever after.’

And so ladies & gentlemen, I conclude my remarks tonight with ambivalence of hope, joy & excitement as well as sadness, pain & despair.

:)

“And I'd promise you anything for another shot at life.”

School Reopens!

2009-06-30T08:22:00.004+08:00

June has come & gone.
Nothing much out of this holidays really, but at least it was a breather away from the stressful school life.

Anyway. Happy schooling to all the rest because the reason i am able to update now is because my school's having online learning. Yay! :D
Wake up at 7/8, do work at home till whatever time. Reminds me of those dear BSC days.

I'm actually updating to give tribute for the death my greatest idol.

MICHAEL JACKSON. 1959-2009.

May "Heal The World" by Michael Jackson, heal the world for the greif of his death.

He was expected to embark on a worldwide tour sometime after the concert series was completed in March.

Of course, there will be no comeback now, no Jackson 5 reunion, no new music to share with millions of fans. But the legacy he leaves behind is so rich, so deep, that no scandal can torpedo it.

To the understated King of Pop, Michael Jackson, The "Thriller" may be gone, but the thrill will always remain.

R.I.P Michael Jackson.

BSC Day 16! – 15/4/09

It was the day to present my CDE Oral Presentation. Today’s Chinese teacher was remarkable! He talked about the characters in the Three Kingdoms & he was very ‘ animated’ so the lesson was enjoyable. A direct contrast, the next lessons was boring ttm( to the max ).It was about china’s government’s policies and so on. Survived through the boring lessons & yay! There is no CDE today due to Mr.Lim not arranging any video conferencing with Mr.Chia & the technician.

We then had IHC lessons briefing then. Mr.Lim Hong Chin told us that we have to do the lesson 1-6 on www.elearning.blogspot.com. After that we had our first immersion program lesson. I was in the same class, 初一七班 as Jun Eng & Samuel woo. My immersion buddy was Liu Li刘醴After just one lesson, we had to come back just to go back to Tian Tan天坛 for a fieldtrip again. Every Tuesday we have fieldtrips to different places in Beijing.

This time the fieldtrip was a little different. This time the Xi An scholars who had gone to Tian Tan 天坛were our tour guides. Our tour guides were Wei Jun & Jing Han. They were pretty good.

Soon it was dinner & a slackly online lesson as Mr. Lim was not there to keep an eye on us. Played a bit of dota & downloaded some themes for the computer.

Studied then sleeping time as usual.
__________________________________________________

BSC Day 17! – 16/4/09

Today we had one full day of immersion program which was pretty boring. During their PE we had to play games like basketball, volleyball, soccer or badminton. Obviously I played volleyball with Zheng Jie & Zheng Ting. At first we were playing with the students there, but they were just so lousy. In the end we played among ourselves =p. We had a special lunch inside their lecture room. Later we explored the school a bit, thus finding the place where we could buy their PE shirts from. We slacked around in their lessons listening to their teachers & doing some work.

Everyone went back to class, lazed around with the computer & met Mr. Hon for a talk at 4pm. We also raised many of our doubts about BSC. During the free time I rushed some of my work and dolled up my computer :) Later it was dinner as usual. It was a slackly online lesson as Mr. Lim was not around to keep an eye on us.

After online I went back dormitory and slept immediately as there are no homework to be passed up tomorrow. REST!
___________________________________________________

BSC Day 18! – 17/4/09

Today is my best friend’s birthday. Sadly I am in Beijing and cannot contact him no matter what. Happy Birthday Justin Tan Kai Zhong :) I doubt he’ll be able to see this post so I just hope that he had a wonderful birthday.

Today was still immersion with the local students. The immersion will last until next Friday. The first period we were having there was Music lesson. Their music lesson is marvelous! The students there are all very enthusiastic about whatever they do. How I envy them. We watched them perform a dance for their dance grade. Some of them were really not bad. So much for the talent boom in Chin huh. When everything ended they still had some time left, so everyone started to dance. I almost got pulled out to dance with them. So scary!

Next lesson was Physical Education. I feel that it really is the ‘education’ thing, which very much differs from the Singapore’s kinda P.E. lesson. Firstly they had some discipline movement or something. You must follow the P.E. teacher’s instructions & act accordingly. Worst still, there are the ‘proper’ & ‘opposite’ commands. It was not my day as I was appointed to perform her instructions oppositely. At first I kept lagging but after a while I was used to it. Soon we had to run according to her commands, ‘1, 2, 1, 2’. After we passed the discipline training thing, we were taught how to do a basketball lay up.

It was fun experiencing their English period. It was the period where we could understand the most, as well as the period where we are a level above them.

The last lesson, History, was pretty boring. We watched videos on China’s history and etc. It felt exactly like Mr. Alvin Tan’s lessons.

We rushed back to school for Martial Arts lessons. We began to learn cooler actions like 马步.

Later I, Zheng Jie, Zheng Ting & Jun Xiong went for the 二附中’s official training. Sadly for the rest they were just playing among themselves. As they needed a setter to do warm up & training with their’s, I was the best candidate. After exchanging some skills here & there, I can assure that they had excellent ball, hand touch.

We proceeded to dinner. I also did some work during online lessons. After online lessons was the usual back to dormitory, P.T, homework, sleep.
__________________________________________________________

BSC Day 19! – 18/4/09

Weekends yaye!

I took the opportunity to sleep as much as I wanted, then the kind Lin Zhuo helped us buy breakfast, 煎饼.

Before doing some work, I decided to play some DotA with Kai Yuan & Yao Ming. At first the game went on quite well, later Yao Ming kept disconnecting so I changed my mind & decided to study. I studied till noon then it was the fieldtrip to the Beijing Theatre.

The Beijing Theatre is not the kinda theatre which shows lotsa movies while the audiences are munching on popcorn ( oh those memorable times). This theatre is one massive place with lots of musical related gallery. I also had the chance to hear some quality opera by locals.

After the fieldtrip I, Wilson & Jun Eng went to 秀水街 for shopping. I bought few shirts, pants & Optimus Prime belt! Super cool! Kakkoii!

Due to guilt of going out the whole afternoon, once we went back I started studying until dinner then continued to study till sleep.
___________________________________________________________

BSC Day 20! – 19/4/09

To pay for yesterday’s total mugging session from afternoon to night, I rewarded myself with some game playing time. 煎饼for breakfast. I studied at around 10+ to afternoon. Later I had lunch with Yan Rui at 太平饺子馆, it was not bad, quite tasty.

Came back after lunch, & I studied until very sian liao then started to crack some games.

I went to school to find Jun Eng for some crucial files that can work the game can YES. It worked. I successfully cracked Dynasty Warriors, Call of Duty & Devil May Cry. Woo.

I had some work to be passed up online & sent to the teachers so went to school to complete the work.

I finished most of my work in school so had dinner with Yao Ming, Alcander & Zheng Jie.

Study play study then it was sleep.

Bsc Days 13-15

2009-04-26T19:47:00.001+08:00

BSC Day 13! – 12/04/09

SUNDAY today was unusual. I woke up early ( around 8+ which was early to me ) to do homework. Thanks to Lin Zhuo for buying breakfast for our whole room.

Felt an urgency to do some work since it was the Sunday therefore did until it was lunchtime. I, Zheng Jie, Zheng Ting, Kai Sheng, Lei Bing, Lin Zhuo, Joshua, Jun Eng, Alcander went to 小西天 to have our lunch. We thought it was some food paradise or whatsoever, but it turned out to be a complete disappointment. We had lunch at a stall which we all thought was most the most appealing. The food there is dreadful. It is SO OILY that I think I could cook fish & chips with the amount of oil left in my bowl. The other ala carte dishes are also exceptionally oily.

Went back and did all my homework till dinner. Zheng Ting, Lei Bing, Lin Zhuo, Jun Eng, Joshua went to eat with Zheng Ting’s guardian for dinner. I heard that it the place that they ate was pretty unique and high class. Did not really feel jealous though as I don’t really like to depend or trouble people that I am not familiar with. Anyway tonight’s dinner was with the Xi An scholars who just came back.

I went back to mug again. It was a super mugging day!

________________________________________________________

BSC Day 14! – 13/4/09

First things first, Happy Birthday Linshan! :)

I remembered during the night my blanket fell off, felt shivering cold until I went down to pick up my blanket on the floor ( I sleep on the top of the double-decker bed ). Therefore, I woke up with sore throat with some slight cold.

I felt unwell throughout the whole day & every lesson. I also ate very little. Luckily Monday has sports & games time which we are free to do anything we want. I slept throughout the whole time and felt much better after that.

I did some homework, CDE during online lessons. I also bought some bleach illustration books because it’s so cheap.

Went back, waited till 12, wished myself birthday wishes & got to sleep.
_________________________________________________________

BSC Day 15! – 14/4/09!

It is my birthday today. Sadly I’m not able to spend the day with my family but who knows what awaits me. I woke up feeling pretty okay. 24 hours recovery!

Today was the fieldtrip to Tianjin. Took a 3 hours bus ride to reach, in which we stopped halfway to take a quick break & get some refreshments. Took some break in between the bus ride while watching some videos & listening to music. When we reach there we realized that it was just a simple eco-city plan. Wasted 3 hours ride to go there, yet we spent less than 1 hour inside the eco-city. Worst still, we have to write a report of it in Chinese when it is so meaningless.

After leaving the place we stopped halfway to shop around some Chinese culture place. I looked around & decided to buy Chinese name posters for my family. It looks mesmerizing.

Later we ate at some restaurant whose specialty is fish dishes. There were lotsa dishes & all of it tasted quite weird but still acceptable. Except the fish. Their specialty fish dish tasted like some Indian fish. It was so full of spices until it tasted like you’re eating leaves.

I went back dormitory to have some rest while some of the rest went to buy a cake to celebrate for me. They came back soon & everyone celebrated it for me. I felt extremely happy & touched. Thanks to everyone who made this my day :)

On a slighter note, I added many things to the laptop, now it looks really cool.

Happy Birthday Max. Thanks to everyone who wishes it to me also.

Bsc Day 12

2009-04-24T20:04:00.000+08:00

BSC Day 12! – 11/04/09

Woke up late, & for some reason I think is doing too much Pt the day before, nose started to bleed non-stop. Rested for a while more, soon after, cleaned up the mess. I ate some 包子 & met the rest at lobby.

Travelled to the Beijing Zoo, boarded the ever crowded bus 104.

I explored the zoo with Alcander & Zheng Jie.

We saw lotsa animals ( duh what else ), E.g. Pandas, tigers, lions, elephant, bear, pheasants, fox, nocturnal animals & many underwater creatures.

I also went for the mesmerizing water show. The seals there are called Max & Pipa. How coincidental! The seals performed many stunts like singing, doing pushups without their tails & the normal trick of balancing a ball on their nose. Next was the performance by 5 spectacular dolphins. They were equally as impressive as the seals. The dolphins jumped out of water to a certain height unattainable by human & performed some synchronized dancing in the water.

After that was shopping! At the Zoo Plaza! I was kinda fooled by the name, I thought it sells hundreds & hundreds of animals merchandise but it turned out to be a proper shopping mall!

I explored the gigantic Zoo Plaza with Jun Eng & Lin Zhuo.
Bought some stuff like shoes & jeans.

Lunch was fast because we ate it at the dormitories nearby McDonalds.

Studied & played a bit till dinner. We had dinner at the same 红烧variety shop. Did more work & sleep!

2009-04-23T07:35:00.001+08:00

In the faint light of the attic, an old man, tall and stooped, bent his great frame and made his way to a stack of boxes that sat near one of the little half-windows. Brushing aside a wisp of cobwebs, he tilted the top box toward the light and began to carefully lift out one old photograph album after another. Eyes once bright but now dim searched longingly for the source that had drawn him here.

It began with the fond recollection of the love of his life, long gone, and somewhere in these albums was a photo of her he hoped to rediscover. Silent as a mouse, he patiently opened the long buried treasures and soon was lost in a sea of memories. Although his world had not stopped spinning when his wife left it, the past was more alive in his heart than his present aloneness.

Setting aside one of the dusty albums, he pulled from the box what appeared to be a journal from his grown son’s childhood. He could not recall ever having seen it before, or that his son had ever kept a journal. Why did Elizabeth always save the children’s old junk? he wondered, shaking his white head.

Opening the yellowed pages, he glanced over a short reading, and his lips curved in an unconscious smile. Even his eyes brightened as he read the words that spoke clear and sweet to his soul. It was the voice of the little boy who had grown up far too fast in this very house, and whose voice had grown fainter and fainter over the years. In the utter silence of the attic, the words of a guileless six-year-old worked their magic and carried the old man back to a time almost totally forgotten.

Entry after entry stirred a sentimental hunger in his heart like the longing a gardener feels in the winter for the fragrance of spring flowers. But it was accompanied by the painful memory that his son’s simple recollections of those days were far different from his own. But how different?

Reminded that he had kept a daily journal of his business activities over the years, he closed his son’s journal and turned to leave, having forgotten the cherished photo that originally triggered his search. Hunched over to keep from bumping his head on the rafters, the old man stepped to the wooden stairway and made his descent, then headed down a carpeted stairway that led to the den.

Opening a glass cabinet door, he reached in and pulled out an old business journal. Turning, he sat down at his desk and placed the two journals beside each other. His was leather-bound and engraved neatly with his name in gold, while his son’s was tattered and the name “Jimmy” had been nearly scuffed from its surface. He ran a long skinny finger over the letters, as though he could restore what had been worn away with time and use.

As he opened his journal, the old man’s eyes fell upon an inscription that stood out because it was so brief in comparison to other days. In his own neat handwriting were these words:

Wasted the whole day fishing with Jimmy. Didn’t catch a thing.

With a deep sigh and a shaking hand, he took Jimmy’s journal and found the boy’s entry for the same day, June 4. Large scrawling letters, pressed deeply into the paper, read:

Went fishing with my dad. Best day of my life.

"To a child, love is spelled T-I-M-E"

Bsc Day 6!

It was the last day of the first weekend in Bsc, though the next Monday is a holiday for us – It’s 清明节.

Ate breakfast with Zheng Ting, Zheng Jie, Jun Eng, Kai Sheng, Wilson, Yan Rui & Alcander. We ate 炸酱面. However nice it was to the locals, it was awfully salty. Eating the noodles felt worst than drinking saltwater yuck.

Later we went shopping while muggers Yan Rui & Alcander went back to do what they do best. Bought some stuff ^^. It was a fruitful experience man.

Went back dorm at around 4 + to wash clothes & do work.
Done some CDE & English comprehension but was disturbed a bit by Song Ken, Kai Yuan, Jun Eng & Joshua cause they were doing projects day work very noisily.

I had dinner at a very, very far away place with Lin Zhuo, Zheng Ting, Zheng Jie, Jun Eng, Kai Sheng, Wilson & Joshua. Ate lots of local food ordered by Lin Zhuo. It was not bad, except that it was a bit salty. We drank a little bit of beer with 2.6% alcoholic content. Lin Zhuo was complaining later we all get drunk he would have to carry us back. But the minute alcoholic content could not affect us at all.

Homework, sleep ~

________________________________________

BSC Day 7!

It was China’s 清明节 today that’s why there is no school.

Woke up, ate breakfast with Lin Zhuo, Kai Yuan, Joshua & Jun Eng.

We met at the lobby with everyone else to go to the Beijing’s Bird Nest.

The Beijing Bird Nest is exceedingly cool. It felt very nice to be on the stadium, on the track, on the field. The feeling was indescribable. We also saw the 5 teddies + another cow / lamb look alike creature which was the mascot for the Paralympics. I bought some souvenirs for everyone too.

Next was visiting the Water Cube with Wilson & Malcolm, halfway we also met Zheng Ting, Zheng Jie & Kai Sheng. The Water Cube is W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L. You’ll feel refreshing & relaxed there. The blue water & white, blue seats make you feel tranquil & unperturbed. I strongly encourage anyone who goes to Beijing to go to the Water Cube. It is truly worth it. I bought a Water Cube purse too, just felt like buying it.

We had lunch & dinner at the same place.

The usual homework, study, teevee, games then sleep ~

_________________________________________

BSC Day 8!

Quick breakfast at school then it was computer time – 7.30-8.00am. Had Chinese & Chinese History lessons then it was the trip to 万里长城。

Had an extravagant lunch before reaching there, & I came to realize to reason of it soon after it.

We were expected to climb the 万里长城 in 1.5 hours. I & Dion were buddies for climbing the monster. The air up there was exceptionally thin. It was difficult to breathe up there. You will easily be out of breath. Only some of us climbed up all the way. I only remember Dion, Shane, Lei Bing, Sean Ong, Jun Eng, Joshua, Zheng Ting, Yan Rui, Bin Quan, Guan Bo, Kai Sheng, Wilson, & Lumyi. It was an arduous journey. When we were climbing down my legs are already shaking. I bought an I <3 Beijing shirt & a poster.

I also recommend climbing the Great Wall. But your physique must be strong. The way up is not for chickens (;

Be a man, climb the Great Wall.

Went back for online lessons & realized Mr. Lim wanted us to present our presentation TOMORROW. Rushed through the presentation for the whole night & ate instant noodles for dinner.

____________________________________________

BSC Day 9!

Woke up very early, rushed breakfast & went to continue my CDE presentation. Finished it by 8 & printed it out.

It was the usual Chinese & Chinese History lessons. I’m beginning to adapt to the teachers’ different teaching styles.

Had a bit of revision on Log then it was video conferencing with Mr. Lim. Sean, Me & Joshua prepared but the rest did not. Most of the Xi An scholars who were allocated the earlier questions are expected the present first but since they are in Xi An & not there, we got owned. Everyone got roared but Mr. Lim for almost 3 quarters of the lessons. Mr. Lim decided to change the Xi An scholars to the last few questions while those who were in Beijing now would have to do the earlier questions. Last few minutes were spent on listening to Sean’s presentation. Hope he got an A1 ^.^

Later we travelled to a school which taught the migrant children. It was pure FUN. The children are super duper hyper cyber uber ultra very very cute.

I felt that today was extremely meaningful. Seeing how the migrant children are studying in such shocking environment makes me realize how fortunate I am to be able in such a good environment such as Hwa Chong. Their classroom is very limited and small, with no technology there at all. Their class population is enormous, their classrooms are very dirty, their chairs are in poor quality, and their tables are very old. From a teacher’s point of view I also realize how hard it is to control a class. This trip has been an eye-opener as well as a wake up call to me, for me to realize that I am oh so fortunate, yet always complaining about these and that when others are in a much worse plight than I am. “Be contented”

Some advice for next batch would be that don’t neglect those at the back as they are the ones who are mostly the ones who don’t bother and are playful. Do not underestimate the P4’s. They generally know their abc’s very well, just that their vocabulary is limited. Their Chinese is really good for P4 standard too. I think it is best to include some entertainment value in your lessons like some songs to catch their attention. They lose attention very fast. Be patient with the kids, after all they are still kids. We know it’s hard to keep control of the class but try your best. All the best! :)

SLEEP.

Did until around 1 + and went to sleep, going to continue the presentation tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, I also finished Tutorial 3 & 4 while finishing my CDE Presentation.

_________________________________________

BSC Day 10!

Today is Zheng Ting’s Birthday. Happy Birthday Zheng Ting 

Lessons as usual from 8am-5pm. Stress man school hours so long. Mr. Lim still said it was slack.

We went back dorm at 9pm to celebrate. The roommates went to collect the cake we ordered in the morning. While waiting for Zheng Ting to come back I did some math homework. Sian man, so much work!

Many of us celebrated for Zheng Ting then we watched movies together.

Did some homework and slept ~

BSC Day 4!

Beginning to realize school days in BSC are quite repetitive. Everything from morning to night is around the same.

I classify lessons in school are all the same, interesting at times but dull also. Mr. Chia is a good teacher who makes lessons very interactive! I like.

I, Zheng Jie & Zheng Ting explored the surroundings during the free time before dinner to be more familiar with the environment. I bought pens at 3 for 5 yuan which is quite a bargain for ink pens. Tried the well-known 羊肉串, very heaty but awfully tasty! We also found a convenient store that is much more convenient than the one recommended.

It was math lesson for the first time in Bsc so I shall elaborate more on it. Revised Logarithms and did some practice. Difficulties argh!

It was the Closing Ceremony for the Science Week. It seemed to me more like a National Day celebrations. They kept praising the country, the government and the ancestors etc. for all the science experiment. Weird huh!

Played ball after dinner then it is online lessons.

I passed up Chinese compo & Bsc blog entry. Did my www.cf.hic.edu.sg work but could not pass it up because I forgot my password. So stupid GRR. From A1 to B3/4. T.T

Since it is a FRIDAY, went back dormitory, played some Dota & read CDE again. I think I am screwed because my CDE tutorials are so thick & I have yet to read finished those in front of mine.

Ciao sleep!

____________________________________________________________________________

BSC Day 5!

Today was the first Saturday of BSC. I ate breakfast with Zheng Jie, Zheng Ting, Alcander & many others. We ordered 包子，饺子，荷包蛋 & 豆腐脑.

We met up with the other BSC pupils for a trip to Forbidden City, 故宫. The palace was enormous! & crammed full. To just get into the place is an obstacle. The Forbidden City is very mystifying; there are so many palaces and houses that you can’t finish exploring in detail. It was a wonderful experience to be able to tour the place. I recall the movies that always show the Forbidden City and all the heroes whatever, so coooool ~

I ate lunch with Xingbo, Yan Rui, Kelvin, Kai Yuan, Hong Yao & Lin Zhuo. Oh ya! Lin Zhuo is sick so best wishes to my roommate cum China Superstar to recover soon, to cheer us up, & to bring laughter to our room. Back to the topic, I ate 红烧牛肉面, SUPERB!

Played CS all the way till the night then dinner at the same place again. We were going to buy Sean & Kai Sheng some bread for their dinner because they are addicted to CS. I cheated counting the open numbers then we made Zheng Ting buy the food, later when Zheng Ting was pissed we did a fair open numbers, Zheng Ting was still the one to buy. He got damn sian-ed lol.

At night my room tried the Dragon Push-ups & Big Brothers Squats. Dragon push-ups is that everyone do push ups in one line, the person in front having their legs on the person behind. When you pump it is overwhelming, dreadfully heavy. Big Brothers Squats is that everyone sit the other person’s squatted legs, once one person is tried & gives up, everyone will fall. A test of trust and edurance.

Soon we were tired & slept ~

ARGH PASS UP CDE ASSGINMENT TOMORROW DIEEEEEEEE.

Chinese school is sian!

2009-04-03T13:46:00.002+08:00

BSC Day 3!

I woke up late due to mugging CDE the night before. Went outside for breakfast with sean & leibing, ate 小龙包。Very nice!

Later were Chinese & Chinese literature lessons, which were very different from Singapore’s lessons, less interactive, more of teacher talking only, came to appreciate the OP system more now.

After that was PE lessons, volleyball with the locals. Our Pe lessons are chosen by ourselves, with options of soccer, basketball, volleyball and kick boxing. Quite a different experience playing with other China people and cold weather, never sweat!

Then it was mass exercise with all the students. The movements were weird & hard to catch up, moving your hands here & there etc.

Physics lessons immediately later. We revised on Kinematics as it was very confusing. Started a bit on Newton’s law, which was much more understandable.

Soon we went to the Annual Brain Challenge. Unlike any other quizzes like who wants to be a millionaire, their Brain Challenge is MUCH more interesting & interesting.

We had Chemistry lessons later on. It was very confusing to me but I could still follow the lessons a bit.

Some of us went to watch debate challenge in a while. Their debate introduction & content own our school’s standard. Whenever there is 30 seconds left to speak, there will be a ring which is the garena’s msn sound alerts. When there is no time left the noise is super loud.

I played with Singapore schoolmates’ soccer & basketball after a while. Me zhengjie & zhengting then proceeded to play volleyball with the local people. I am seriously adapting to the cold weather now. Not bad la the weather.

Dinner was delicious! Meatballs & roasted chicken! NAISE! After dinner was online lessons as usual, did some Chinese compo English work.

OKAY so now homework list as follows.

1. 5 Tutorials
2. English Speech
3. English Comprehension
4. Math 2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5

JIAYOU JIAYOU GOOOOO.

CHINESE A1 WOO.

Rest for the start

2009-04-02T20:24:00.000+08:00

BSC Day 2!

Breakfast was to be ordered by ourselves & paid with the food card. It was quite special.
After that we went to class to do more administrative work & use our laptops.

At around 10 we went for a welcoming ceremony. We were introduced to the school. The school had things such as Chinese artifacts, Chinese artworks, western artworks & even a swimming pool!

Had our lunch & prepared to go to the Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall. There were many attractive exhibits there like the Beijing Olympics Architecture, one whole floor made up of Beijing’s 3D map, & even a model of the Forbidden City.

I played volleyball with the locals there when we came back. They were not too good & not bad either. Later we finished our dinner & went for online lessons – English. Finished my book circle ace then went back to dorm to rest.

Studied & played around a bit, then it was lights out for everyone ~

1/4/09 was pretty slack.

BSC DAY 1!

My family & I reached airport very early at around 6+. Checked in my 17.1kg luggage, ate some breakfast and it’s time for departure. Said goodbye to my dearest family & went inside the departure mall to shop. I’m sure gonna miss everyone in Singapore ):

First time sitting an airplane - Plane SQ802! I swear an airplane is super cool. Videos games, movies, music, electricity, food, charger, everything is available, just like a mini home. Watched Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons, ate fish fillet with potatoes, slept like a pig. Airplane ascending and descending was scary, but later it felt quite fun. We arrived at the freezing colddddddd Beijing in approximately 6 hours. Immediately wore all my jackets. Then we waited for the bus which was extremely slow.

Reached school in around half an hour, unpacked our luggage and went to a classroom for briefing. Dinner was better than expected, rice, potatoes, celery with eggs, sweet & sour fish with cucumber, chicken wit veggie, soup & bao. Not bad!

Later we assembled at the Victors, our classroom for some administrative work again. We got our school uniforms which consist of a jacket & long pants, our keys for the utensils locker, local phone card and food card. Soon we were off to the far-away convenient store ( maybe convenient in china’s sense but not in mine ), bought daily necessities like washing powder, air purifier and food.

Called back home to inform everyone I’m safely reached Beijing & is doing pretty well.

We slacked inside the dormitory and read a bit of tutorial 3.

Something really different from Singapore in china is that you can’t throw toilet papers into the toilet bowl if not it’ll clog up. HAHA!

Brushed teeth, washed up and got onto bed at around 12.
Slept peacefully in the dormitory until next day ~

Bye.

Here the Maker of the blog takes His leave

2009-03-29T14:23:00.004+08:00

Gonna leave Beijing in 2 more days. I'm surely going to miss everyone, my family, friends, teammates etc. Somehow I kind of like cant bear to leave this place ): Feels just like when I was moving house from Malaysia to Singapore, except this is much worse. I packed my luggage already, going to leave for around 40 days.

I really hope Beijing is a new learning experience, for me to learn more about myself, my friends and everything. It will be a good time to interact with my friends and people of other cultures also. Sadly will be self studying and taking most tests there at Beijing. It'll be an obstacle only I can overcome myself, to take responsibilities of my life & studies, to learn to be independent.

Hopefully I still have some time to update this blog once in a while, get to log in facebook for fun too. Meanwhile, while I'm away, everyone, Take care.

:)

Monarchy of Homework, The Beginning.

2009-03-23T18:17:00.002+08:00

Just gonna briefly talk about some important things now. It's going to be a hectic first week really.

Holidays was wasted on dunno what. Slacking Projects day little bit of homework and SLEEP.

BSP SYMPOSIUM WAS DAMN BLOODY SIAN. But I still learnt a lot la.

GALA DINNER WAS DA BOMBXZ.

The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky. The clock tower was aglow with bright lights.

I gave Weiren one jersey that looks alike our sec2 jersey, later he was see grinning like a Cheshire cat, eyes shining like diamonds. Everyone was in extreme high spirits, & the high spirits were infectious. Food was pretty scam but heck! The spirit and the attitude were best :)

Let the pictures do the talking from now onwards.

BEFORE!

SOON.

LATER.

FISH!

FRANKENSTEIN FISH.

2e peapurl

TEAM.

Birthday Boy Weiren.

& his cake.

I was supposed to rush through homework on Sunday. Woke up at 9 - Slept again at 10 - Woke up at 4.52 pm! DANG. Did lotsa last minute works for such a lackadaisical guy I am.

SCHOOL WAS BADDD.

Morning goes like this, "Please cut your hair ah, or you want me to send you down (discipline master) tomorrow." "okayokay I cut."
DO YOU KNOW MY HAIR HOW SHORT ONLY? Haiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

First lesson was fantassssssssssstic. We were present-ed with 7 colorful tutorials. I shall upload a picture of them one day. Orange, Yellow, Peach, Blue, Pink, Green.

Later English lesson was suffused with anger. Got owned. Totally. Cos we too no0o0bxz already. Don't wanna explain further because it's stupid.

Going back to the main point bout this post, Gala Dinner was excellent.
Happy 90th to Hwachong & 15th to Wei Ren!

Meanwhile. Fun comes along.

Sunny afternoon play ball means burnout.

Happy Birthday to Yong Tai!
Happy Belated Birthday to Sze Yuen!

Tomorrow Think Quest spam.

I(we) bought lots of things for Beijing Trip. My mum everything also want to buy here, don’t want to buy at Beijing cos scared this scared that.
Hai WASTE MUNNY. Mummy economic crisis leh!

Aegis of myself

2009-03-15T12:35:00.003+08:00

It’s exactly 16 more days before I go Beijing. Was pretty excited initially, but the results spoilt everything. 5.22. Thinking again, if I already get an msg of 5.22 in term 1 where there are teachers, there is guidance, there is help, and there is home, what would be my results in Beijing where it is the contrary of everything now? 10.44? 99% it’ll get worst according to statistics, but I don’t want that to happen.

Msg above 4 next term means the end of everything. No more volleyball, no more captaincy, no more special program, no more freedom, and ultimately, there’s no more me.

Beijing shall not be an obstacle, positively, lets take it as an independent learning journey for me to realize how & what I want my education to be like. & when I come back, hopefully my msg is below 3.

Sabbatical week was fun! Aviation science is damn cool. Flying paper & wooden planes on the first 2 days, next few days was flying virtual planes on Microsoft Flight Stimulator. Actually most of the fun came out of being with my 2e friends :)

Training has been pretty straining these few days. Jiaolian has been spamming us pt like a sadist. I’m getting back my touch for setting now. Good Good.

Holidays is gonna be extremely hectic for me.
Monday – Shopping & flu jab.
Tuesday - Training & studying.
Wednesday - ThinkQuest & Projects Day.
Thursday – ThinkQuest & Projects Day + Training + Studying.
Friday - HOMEWORK.
Saturday – Training & homework.
Sunday – Homework & swimming + jogging.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Then term2 starts, mugging along with training will go on for another term.

There are so many different ways lives work out, so many stories, and every one of them is precious: full of joy and heartbreak, and a fair amount of situation comedy.

I don't think of the past. The only thing that matters is the everlasting present.

UPS & downs.

2009-03-08T10:53:00.003+08:00

MSG. 5.4. I've got nothing to say.
msg < 3.5 next term :)
If i don't achieve it, I am not worthy to be captain.
msg < 3.00 next term
If not I let down myself.
msg < 2.5 next term
If not I don't deserve to be in cse.

Thanks for all the memories b'div09.
From blaming the team and regretting joining Hcvb in sec1, to now collect the medal together, as a team.
I can safely say that through all these years training together, we’ve changed a lot, improved drastically, gaining better relationships, and what not.
Sadly we weren’t the victors on Friday. It was then B'div09's journey ended. How wasted. My subset career was ended just like that. Pity much.

Thank you, Junxiong. For everything you’ve sacrificed for the team. For being such a tardy captain, being our mad dog zhugong. For bringing up the team spirit during matches, taking the effort to text us motivational messages etc.

Thank you, Arnold. For whatever body parts you sacrificed for saving a ball, being a libero with great attitude. For shouting random battle-cry during matches in order raise our spirits & cheer us on.

Thank you, Wayne. For-ever being our temperate setter and setting our screwed first balls. For being another zi-high kia with high EQ.

Thank you, Nicholas Lui. For being our very much zi-high kia who really brings up our spirits whenever. For working hard even though chances for you to get into main team was like finding light in an abyss. For the effort you take in drying the balls during competition.

Thank you, Jiawei. For being a hardworking zhong who does weights. For not giving up the team though jiaolian has given up teaching you.

Sincerely, Thank you, underline b______ zhugong, lovesick diving libero, blurblur setter, cute ball picker, & shy chao shou-er.

Seniors <3

Once again Thank you Junxiong, Arnold, Wayne, Nicholas Lui, Jiawei.

Good bye B'Div09.

Welcome B'Div10.

Though our journey has ended, many opportunities came with this end. Bingru & Weiren were selected to go for Combined School Selection Trials. Jing Jie & Shaw Shian are recognized by others and invited to play for Yew Tee CC. If Bingru & Weiren are selected for Combined Schools, Jing Jie & Shaw Shian learns more from playing in the CC, the team standards would be raised greatly. Whilst for the short me, the turgid body Zheng Ting, firecracker yoga-master, & uprising libero, shall have to train hard to match up with them :)

IF I am STILL the captain then, my expectations would be very, very high. Nationals Top 4 >. But now it’s the question of whether will I still be able to remain captain, or will it be changed to Jing Jie / Bingru. If the time comes where I have to, step down as captain, I will. But please, the new captain who rose above the occasion, take care of the team.

Its time, da suckset has to demote to the setterz.

For now, let us study & train hard.

Nationals Top 4 >.

GO.

stay positive.

:)

whether isit towards your studies, sports or whatever.

If you put everything you have got into everything you do, you won't eliminate disappointment. So why bother?
The answer is, " For you own self-respect."
When your personal philosophy is, " I will do my best, regardless," you will always stand tall in your own estimation.

DON'T QUIT TILL YOU GOT NOTHING LEFT.

I hate the school for its no-weights-without-coaches/teacher-in-charge rule.
I hate the school for its endless spam of homework.

"If you never lose then you can never appreciate the victories."

"Victory isn't defined by wins or losses. It is defined by effort. If you can truthfully say, 'I did the best I could, I gave everything I had,' then you're a winner."

"There's nothing greater in the world than when somebody on the team does something good, and everybody gathers around to pat him on the back."

"Even when you've played the game of your life, it's the feeling of teamwork that you'll remember. You'll forget the plays, the shots, and the scores, but you'll never forget your teammates."

Nice & Bad

2009-02-14T23:28:00.006+08:00

Friday the 13 was indeed dreadful & wretched, at the earlier part of the day only. I’m guessing BSP test is an F9. So I think I prepare for my life saver C6 for retest some day. IHC test wasn’t so pressurized since we were doing the test with teacher invigilating. Extra stress coming from the teacher walk about in class was fortunately absent. Hopefully I didn’t screw up IHC please please. My current MSG of 4.25 is damn high la. If I add BSP, its 5.2 WOO. Maths was spam of homework, AS USUAL LA. Hai ms choo when can you ti liang wo men T.T

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!
Was anyhow play ball day after school. Playing ball without my ankle guards & contacts is disastrous, catastrophic, terrible!

Anyway went to Jon’s house after play ball. Wanted to scam him that chih hsuan, junyu & hongyi wasn’t going because of some personal reasons. 万事俱备之欠东风。They let the cat out of the bag when they left their SHOES outside his house. LOL.

Played Guitar Hero & Rockband. Yay! Now I never sleep at all while they were playing. Celebrated his birthday with a Bengawan Solo cake. Dared Yuzhong to eat some screwed fruit & he did, but he spat it out caused it was utterly disgusting haha!
Hai I still love 2e & 2e friends after these months. ^^

Happy Birthday Jon! :)

Today was just a spam of training. Chao ji boring can.
SIAN WE LOST TO SHUQUN TMD. T_T

Bleh. Happy Valentines Day to all singles in this world. HAHA!

Roller Coaster Day!

2009-02-10T18:23:00.005+08:00

My Roller Coaster Day started out badly with a black mark from Mr. Lim + mini roar.
Next period was a lecture cum self study cum i-never-learn-anything period. Following that was phy6 which evidently some catching up needs to be done on my part. Chinese & English was rather slack. Hopefully disaster stopped at Chem period but it didn’t. Mr. Kong, “ Write a 1000 word apology letter for me.” Writing apology letters seemed to enrich Chem lesson from our Chem teacher’s perspective. Highlight of school was Meet-The-SLIM session. “ WHATS YOUR NAME? ARE YOU A SLACKER? ”

Roller Coaster Day progressed positively propitiously.

Crunch match against Clementi Town.
Warm-up started well with max’s atypical on-form-ness & natural touch. Lady luck seemed to smiling when everybody appeared to be the best of form too.

Proper game was facing the giants. Constantly leading & no mistakes at the start boosted the morale to a higher level. Though the game has some up’s & down’s when we lost the lead & almost lost. We persevered & won the first set yay. The rest of the game was in our total control. We fought hard. & We won!

"Those who truly have the spirit of champions are never wholly happy with an easy win. Half the satisfaction stems from knowing that it was the time and the effort you invested that led to your high achievement."

I worship the game. It's fun to play, period. I adore running, jumping around and getting sweaty. I like to cheer like mad. I am keen on facing the challenge of another team that's better. I lurve winning them ((:

This win meant a lot to me. To everyone in the team. I'm unable to describe it in words due limited linguistic ability in language.

"It is amazing what can be accomplished when nobody cares about who gets the credit." Robert Yates

The world suddenly feels so beautiful now.
