1st Jan

Hey, it's a new year! again! time flies, really.

Okay, now to a more serious note...
What is justice? I shall direct this question to all Liverpool FC fans who think that Steven Gerrard didn't commit any crime even though he apparently assaulted somebody at a club. Why shouldn't he be punished for his immature behaviour? Is it because he is the "best midfielder in the world" currently? Or is it that the British authorities are all liverpool fans? And what irks me even more is the fact that Rafael Benetiz, the not-exactly-a-winner, gave Steven Gerrard his full-est support. I have a strong feeling that our beloved best-midfielder-in-the-world will be let off the hook, for the mere reason that he is an entertainer on the football stage.

I pray that he get jailed like what happened to Joey Barton.

Okay, I shan't be so negative anymore. It's New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone!!

29th Dec

Great, my cable TV failed on me. That means no EPL, no HBO, no Star World, and no VJAY channel. Damn, I'll miss that channel. So last Sunday, I had to occupy myself with the mundane programmes of Channel 5. And there was this movie called Little Secrets which was screened in the afternoon. Guess what, the lead actress of the film was damn pretty, in my opinion. BUT HEY, I still think Taylor Swift is number 1 okay. It's just that I'm now kinda infactuated with Evan Rachel Woods. Oh gosh, she is a real beauty. She has great looks, great figure but her taste for guys is quite lousy actually.

Here's a picture of the gorgeous Jewish beauty:


Ravishly beautiful, isn't she? So currently, she's having a really tough fight with Taylor Swift for the No.1 spot on my Hottest Female Celebreties.

I guess it's a blessing in disguise when my cable TV broke down. Way to go!!

27th Dec

Hey! I just came back from Australia and the place was beautiful, to say the least. The beach was gorgeous, so were the ladies and babes :P Everything was great! I had a wonderful time with my family at theme parks, at the beach. Aussie girls are pretty, really. Haha, me and my wishful thoughts. The thing I'll probably miss most is the fact that I don't have anything to worry about when I was in Australia. Nothing, mind ya, nothing. And I totally enjoyed ogling. Alright, enough of the beach babes and hotties and bikinis. The theme parks were the highlights of the trip, especially DreamWorld and Whitewater World where the Aussies don't wear as much :D I love that a lot, but it was hard to express myself since I was there with my family. Haha, but yeah, apart from the babes, life in Australia is very carefree as compared to that of Singapore. What's the difference? Hmph, a helluva difference I tell you. I really do appreciate that my parents brought us there. Bless them.

I came back from Australia yesterday late in the evening. And I was welcomed home by a unprecedented knock in the head off the table edge. What did I do wrong? I was just removing my shoes and when I stood up, BAMM...my head started to bleed profusely. Rivers of blood gushes out of my scalp, scaring the wits out of my parents. Nah, it ain't so serious. My head just bled rather sparsely. But still, it's a pretty unfortunate thing that my head bled. Why aren't we born with eyes on the back of our head??? I got the kind of welcome gift most people will not accept.

OH OH MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS TO ALL. Hope everyone has enjoyed a gorgeous christmas like I did when I walked down the streets of Australia on the 25th!!

I just spent my afternoon watching The Duchess. Quite a nice movie. There were some erotic parts but nothing obscene. Wow, I have to say that Kiera Knightley really is a good actress. It was a bit like The Other Boleyn Girl.

I came across this really interesting article about teenage sex...and breakfast.
Researchers in Japan have found out that no breakfast will lead to earlier sex. Nope, you didn't hear me wrongly. They could actually come up with such a theory. Read the article.
http://news.sg.msn.com/lifestyle/article.aspx?cp-documentid=1855377
The way the researchers link no breakfast to earlier sex is utterly stupid, I should say. Unbelievably dumb and lame. Lame is the word to use. Sex, in my opinion (and I believe many others' too), is a choice of one's will. It's up to oneself to decide whether he/she wants an earlier sex, unless he/she is unfortunately an unwilling party. Breakfast has absolutely nothing to teenage sex. If it has, lots of people in Singapore will be jailed for underage sex by now. Nothing to argue here. Absolutely nothing.

Oh well, I'm going to my grandma's house now. Happy belated christmas once again!! :D

TAYLOR SWIFT IS BY FAR THE COOOLEST SINGER IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY!!!

Okay, poof! I spent the entire afternoon surfing the internet for videos on taylor swifts, on youtube. And her videos are super nice to watch. And funny too. Shit man, even Taylor Swift is my desktop wallpaper. Take that, xujie!

What are you waiting for?
Go to Taylor Swift's Youtube Channel NOWWW

Oh well, it's time. I'm leaving for Australia in like 3 hours time. I'll miss Taylor Swift A LOT. I'll miss training A LOT too. But I won't miss Singapore. Screw off, Singapore. Lol, I sound like as if I'm leaving for another BSC trip. See ya guys in Australia!

15th Dec

Okay, things are getting tough now.

Now that Xu Ying is back and training, competition is intense. His return is great, really. Great for the entire team. I am so glad that he came back. But if only I don't have that lingering knee pain, I would have been one of the 09 probables. Okay, fine, I am worried. I am worried about my knee injury hitting real hard on me. I am worried about not performing well during training. I am worried about not competing next year. I know I should not be worrying too much and I swear I will stop worrying so much. But let me lament a little. It's tough coping with my injury. And this injury doesnt go away that easily. Even though my chances are rather limited now because of my knee injury, I promise I will fight back. Shit god damn I will. Maybe I'm ranting about all these because of sir's blog, but I hope this drive to fight back stays in him. I guess that's sir's intention in making the segregation in the team that way.

Hopefully, my chances will not take a dive when I tell sir that I am leaving for Australia for a week. One whole week away for training seems long enough now. But it's a family obligation and I will love to go Australia again. I just cannot feel at ease about leaving training and everything. However, I'll see what I can do overseas. Maybe let my knee rest, eh?

Welcome back Xu Ying. You're doing real well :D

P.S. I aint giving up yet, you know.

Yipee, my mum bro and sis are back from Langkawi. And my poor cousin, got bitten by mosquitos on the eye and the ear. Mighty OUCH!!

Anyway, today was the NTUC Book Giveaway thingy. I was there as a volunteer but I didnt do no shit. It was freaking boring and rather pointless. But I realised how morally upright Siheng was. Well, he's morally upright in a good sense. Totally slack CIP for me cos I am a slacker who does no shit but slack in the classroom ha.

So tired. So tired..

7th Dec

yay. Man U won Sunderland 1-0. An intense match. The result was only decided at the very last minute, literally. It was a brilliant 30 yard attempt from Michael Carrick, followed by an easy Vidic tap-in. I didnt watch the match, but the I did watch the highlights. Berbatov had so many chances, especially that header. Grrr, what a poor finish. And I forsee that Man U will not take away 3 points at White Hart Lane. This is apparent because we will have to miss 3 key players: Patrice Evra and Wayne Rooney through suspension, and of course our European Footballer of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, who got a bang in the hip during the Sunderland match. Damn, three on form players. It's all right, we still have Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson, Park, Ferdinand, Vidic, Rafael, Berbatov (er...maybe not) and TEVEZ. Tevez played for a meagre 30 mins for Man U last night but he still added firepower to the team's attack. I have no idea why Fergie likes to bench him so much, maybe it's because of his sarcastic comments he made against the English game earlier this year about the EPL depriving him of flaunting his creativity. But nevertheless, I hope Tevez gets to play first team football with increasing regularity. We are still title chasers man.

I'm gonna get philosphical today. I'm gonna talk about Trust:

Trust applies in everything you say, everything you do, everything you here, everyone you meet, so on and so forth. There is an element of Trust in everything. Let me give you an example. When you go to the barber, you are giving him your Trust to give you a neat haircut. This may seem to be a stupid example, but it just shows that Trust applies to almost everything. When you tell the barber you want a haircut, you're giving him your Trust. And when he cuts your hair with the scissors or trim your hair with the shaver, he is performing the job you have trusted him to do. So the responsibility of upholding this Trust is on the shoulders of the barber. And what if he made a mistake and give you a terrible haircut? Is he breaking the Trust? Yes he is, regardless of whether it's intentional or unintentional. So let's say that after he broke that Trust by screwing up your hair, you make a big fuss over it. Well, there is nothing one can do after a screwed-up haircut. It's just your day. You just have to be patient and wait for your hair to grow. But because the barber made a mistake, should you give him a second chance? Or should you find another barber who MAY (I emphasise) give you a better haircut? I say you give the poor guy a second chance. And if he performs well next time and gives you the kind of hairstyle you yearn for, the barber slowly gains back the Trust he had lost the previous time. Nevertheless, the barber will not be able to earn back that kind of Trust he had last time. Because when you blow it first time, there is no turning back. You can only look ahead and pray for the future. There is no turning back, definitely not. What done is done. And what the barber should do is to slowly gain his credibilty back, step by step. He should think of the future and forget about the unhappy past. Think positive, eh?

Oh, I got a haircut today. haha, and I don't have any qualms about it. I have so many thoughts running through my head recently. And things don't look very bright. But still, I have to think positively, like the barber, right?

5th December

I had a time trial this morning. I thought I had a good chance to record a PB. But unexpectedly, my bowels failed on me. I guess it was yesterday's dinner that made me feel like shitting. Sigh, I believed that I was running at a considerably good pace. Nevertheless, I was quite satisfied because I ran (and walked) 8km, which is a great feat for my legs. I really do hope that I will achieve a better timing.

GO WEILUN!!

3th Dec 2009

Sigh. What good times we had in Beijing.

I went for my first training since I came back from Beijing, and to say the truth, I am nothing but disappointed. It was supposed to be extensive intervals today but guess what, I gave up after the first 1km. How pathetic, eh? To be honest, I was rather disappointed because just now was the first time I felt both knees hurt simultaneously. I could see how disappointed siheng was, you know. I really wish to do well, maybe not as much as I wanted to when I was Sec2. But still, I hope to do well for cross and track. And damn the injury. I pray so hard that these injuries go off as quickly as they come. Please!!

That's pretty much about training. Fullstop because I didnt really do much...

After training, sean, fang, yonghwee, irvin, lester, josh and I went out for lunch. A normal meal. Nothing special actually, but I really enjoyed the time together. Feels a bit like when we are in Beijing.

I STILL MISS BEIJING!!!

Back from Beijing

hey. finally back from beijing.

To be honest, the feeling of being back isnt good at all.

We adopted a holiday mood when we were in Beijing,
but now in Singapore, everything seems to go back to normal.

What I believe I will miss is the crazy times we all had together,
whether it is in the dorm or outside.

Back in Singapore, life aint so carefree no more.

I will miss the wild nights when all of us committed sins :)))

I guess I have to start accepting the fact that we're back in reality.

Though the food in Singapore is superbly good.

I'll miss Beijing.

5th November

Hey. Second post, live from Beijing! It hasnt been a great week. Really, it has been terrible. I am down with sickness for the second time in a single week. I guess my body can't take the cold weather. Damn, I feel so emo about my sickness that I don't even have the appetite to eat. Sigh.



I miss Singapore A LOT!!! I miss our Bah Chor Mee, Fried Kway Tiao, Chicken Rice, Carrot Cake, everything!!! Damn, the food here sucks. Sucks totally. Especially the school canteen's food! YUCK! I tell you something, the dishes served are freaking oily and the sight of those dishes turn people off. Okay, not just the sight of the dishes, but the mere thought and imagination of the food makes one wants to puke.



The places we visit were still alright... The only one place I liked was none other than the Bird's Nest. The Water Cube sucks, although the exterior of the place is pretty unique.



And I miss home. I'm HOMESICK. I'm already homesick. Damn, I'm homesick. More than 3 more weeks to go. How torturous.



I pray dearly for my brother who will be collecting his PSLE results on the 20th November. It'll be a delight if he is able to get at least a 250. That's all I ask for. A PSLE score of 250. Go dude! Lol.



Today's been a lousy day. The only thing that is positive was that Barack Obama won the presidential election race. yipee. First black President of the United States of America. Hope he can save America. He'd better have some trick up his sleeves to

In Beijing!

yeah, I'm in Beijing right now. 


Was pretty excited intially, but after being scammed consecutively for two days and having wasted nearly 250 yuan, my enthusiasm died out. The weather over here is bloody cold. It isnt the temperature but it was the wind that make the city cold. Super cold. Anyway, I just got my results. And guess what, I got MSG 2.00. lol. It was better than I had expected (about >2.5).

English    A2
Chinese   A2
Physics   B4
Chemistry B4            (yay lol)
Biology    A2
Mathematics   A2     (wtf?!??!?!?!?!)
Literature   A1
Humanities Research Paper   A1
Humanities Programme          A1

I assume that my HP subjects and HRP pulled my grades up, or help my MSG drop. Thank goodness. If not for HP, I believe that my MSG will exceed 2.5. Oh, and I didnt expect my Physics and Chemistry to "score so well". B4!!!!!! Whoots! Not so much to rejoice for most people, but I have a great deal to celebrate about because those two subjects are my worst ones. Wonder how the others did. I hope my class MSG is not high and can win 3H2. 3H1 is uncatchable. So much for exams.

Back to the Beijing Trip, the hostel is still relatively okay. But the bed is bloody thin. There isnt any cushion at all. So we are all like sleeping on hard wooden planks.

The lessons in Beijing Satellite Campus were utterly BORING. I almost fell asleep on two occasions. The history lesson was interesting but the chinese literature lesson KO-ed me.

Oh well, I guess that's all for today. We'll be going to 天安门tomorrow morning. Sigh. Hope I dont fall sick. :D:D:D:D

19th Oct

It has been at least 2 months since my last post. haha. I feel obliged to post something on my blog if not it will look useless and worthless. But I cant think of anything to talk about. Not anything special. I wont write a super long post either because that will look disgusting. Nevertheless, many things have happened during the two months.


First, exams. yay. it's over. nothing to rejoice about since I did pretty badly for my EOYs. Dont wanna talk about it. Next, Beijing. I'm leaving for Beijing tomorrow. I have my qualms with regards to this trip. This educational trip of six weeks in China. Hope it'll be fun. It better be. I hate packing my luggage. So troublesome.

And then we had the Festival of Sports last week. I only played one soccer match for iSpark and I thought I could have done more. In the end, our consoritum lost all three matches and is the "lousiest" of the four. We had plentiful chances to win the game. But I guess this is football. The result doesnt always go with the dynamics of the game. And I thought we were let down by our defence. We didnt have a solid defence or a strong midfield, probably because we played three man forward. But overall, it was a great performance and Binglin even hit the post. A pity we couldnt salvage a shred of pride for ourselves. A pity.

Now, I will like to announce that the rankings of my favourite celebrities list have changed. Nastia Liukin dropped from top to second. Guess who's the first? It's a girl. An american girl. 19 years of age. She sings country music. She seems friendly. She's TAYLOR SWIFT!!! WOOTSWHOOTSWTHOTHSOOSHOHTWOHTOSHOHSOHTOHOHTOSWWOOHWOOTWOOOHWTOSOWOOOTOT!!!! She's No. 1 on my list. haha. I've been crazy about her over the past weeks. Thanks Xu jie for introducing her to me :D:D:D:D

Oh well, I'll be leaving for Beijing tomorrow. The city where Nastia Liukin once visited :D Good journey to me. And to everyone else who's going too. I'll train hard in BSC. I promise.

13th September

Latest news: Liverpool 2 Man U 1. wth man. Guess what, manu scored in the third minute by a great tevez shot but his goal was undone by our beloved wes brown. The Kop's winning goal came from forward striker, Ryan Babel. The best has yet to come: Vidic got a red card and Alvin told me Berbatov sucked like a fagot in the entire match. So much for playing football for entertainment. dear berbatov, score some goals first before you talk big. wtf. sigh. come3 on manu, you can still claim your treble. COME ON!!!!


If Fergie wants a Treble, he has to strengthen the midfield. What the hell is scholes doing on the field? He's old enough to be anderson's grandpa lol.

Had MBTI test this morning. Pretty cool. Now I have a better understanding of who I am.

Went out with my family for dinner. My parent's 16th wedding anniversary. Had buffet. Quality food. Went shopping. Watched the manu-liverpool match at a liverpool fan-based pub. One of the best family outings ever. Coolest too.

nothing for the next three weeks. rush hour.

7th Sep

Can't believe holiday is over. yeah, it's over.

First up, we have Federer advancing into US Open Finals. one-sided match. great perfomance by Federer. Not much unforced errors made. A handful of ACEs. Beautiful shots. sustaining defence. acute slice. He deserve the finals. His victory was also probably because Djokovic was highly unpopular among the crowd.

Next, Liukin. Ha, she has made an album with Saving Jane. It's a music album. And she's doing it for charity. So that adds to her i-am-so-likable list of traits. Liukin's working so hard for charity, and where is fang's and binglin's beloved shawn johnson. Nah, cant find her. maybe she's just right in front of me, but I cant seem to find her.

back in boarding school. mr sng has become stricter, i think. which is a good and bad thing. well, nothing more to elaborate.

This week is horrendous. The EOYs are just two weeks away and I have 3 tests this week. How smart of the school. how smart...

just can't wait for the entire month to be over.

ha, screw the non-existent holidays.

Freedom

Freedom comes at a high price. Freedom is so hard to come by. Freedom is mysterious; you don't know whether it will stay with you or abandon you. Freedom's priceless. Freedom is a priviledge. Freedom makes you worry. Freedom makes you THINK. Freedom opens your mind up. Freedom comes with great responsibility. Freedom is nothing but a demand. Freedom is nothing but a necessity. Freedom makes one greedy. Freedom takes away discipline and self-control. Freedom has its limits. Freedom has no limits. Freedom is a right. Freedom is a need. Freedom is a want.

I dont know why I typed all these, but I'm just being random. lol. School holidays so many things to do till I can't think properly, I think. Seems so little but it is actually a lot. Seems like a lot but it is actually very little. wth. what is wrong with me...

GOSH! BRADLEY MET WITH AN ACCIDENT THIS AFTERNOON.

But it's nothing serious, I mean his condition is not serious. kah how still told me bradley is quite cheerful lol. He only got minor abrasions and a 5mm cut. haha. wah, bradley so optimistic. I got the scare of my life when i heard about it. I tell you, it's no joke. it was freakingly scary. phew. at least nothing severe happened to him. thank god. So, lesson learnt today: you'll never know what's going to happen; life's unpredictable.

So what came as a bad news turn out to be something good. MAYBE (this is a really big maybe) our class will a tiny-weeny united. maybe

Where does my loyalty lie?

Time to think. Time to think real hard.

Where does my loyalty lie? Mid-Long Distance? Or Pole Vault?

Actually, I have more or less come to a decision. A decision that will not do any good to one of the parties. It was a really hard decision to make. But I have considered these things since last week. Tough decision, I tell you. The fact that I post this message shows my willingness to train really hard for the event I want to compete in. I promise I will tell Sir.

I promise I will.

29 August 2008, Friday, Teacher's Day

What a crazy week. A hell of a week. I know I will DEFINITELY fail my stupid physics test, but the only thing I am unsure of is whether I will get a low or a high F9. The test was absurdly hard, so hard to comprehend, and so complex. None of the questions came out in the worksheets given out by TanHC. Sigh, at least Biology Test and Biology SPA Skills went pretty well.

Teacher's Day. Nothing extraordinary. Except that Jonathan Seng got fired by Ms Esther Cheong again. I felt rather guilty about him getting scolded because it was me who shared the teacher's day card with him. I dont know. But I just feel guilty. I told Cheong that she had misunderstood Jonathan's message for her but to no avail. Next, she requested to see Jonathan personally. What to do? I have to tell JonSeng, dont I? He took the news with grippling fear. He wrote his summary with his trembling hands. Fine, these are all exaggerations, but who wouldnt be afraid if Esther Cheong demanded to see you? However, everything was not as bad as I thought it would be, but some things she said were still deadly and merciless. Jon was fortunate because Esther didnt have the time to continue her rapidfire. Haiz, what a bad way to end teacher's day. lol, come to think of it, none of the teacher's day I had in Hwa Chong over the past few years was interesting either. sigh. It's always the same old boring stuff.

Yeah, today I felt especially tired. Definitely because I slept at 3am yesterday. Nah, I didnt do work. I was playing cards with Hong Wei, Jordan and Si Heng for 3 whole hours. Hard to believe? Believe it. That was probably the best bonding night we had ever since we moved into boarding school.

Man U's gonna play against Zenit St Petersburg for the Euro Super Cup. No doubt it WILL BE a small title, but it will definitely be a psychological boost for the players and we all manu fans. So let's go, Anderson!!

Nastia Liukin fever has more or less diminished. Probably due to the immense influence by Binglin and Fang. Binglin is MAD about Shawn Johnson. Fang too, not that crazy though, but he played a great part in criticizing Nastia. However, I have to make this clear. She is still my number 1 sports woman, also my number 1 sports athelete.

To Fang: I'll criticize Shawn Johnson only after she has grown taller. If not, I dont see any point because I will always have to use the same point to criticize her. Take that, Fang!!

Nick Pitera is insanely good

Nick Pitera. The guy who sings Bleeding Love like Leona Lewis. Except that he isn't Leona Lewis. The first video is on him singing "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis, the second vid is on "No One" by Alicia Keys. a great job, i should say, not everyone can do that.

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis


No One by Alicia Keys


Black out your screen, and you would think it is Leona Lewis and Alicia Keys. Never thought it could be a guy.

The morning was horrible. JunYi and I had actually planned to play a tennis match early in the morning, but the weather let us down. Every other was favourable, all except the @!#%^%&# weather. Sigh. It's alright. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As usual, I embarked on my task to search for Nastia Liukin. On the Internet , of course. Learned that she is a relatively good speaker and speaks with an American accent, no sign that she was Russia-born. And I tried to find all the 2008 interviews of her. So that is how I spent my morning, searching for Nastia Liukin. I can't just get enough of her. Addicted. Obsessed.

Oh, I tried to blend different USA women gymnasts together. Here's my formula to the most appealing female gymnast:
Personality of Shawn Johnson + Looks of Nastia Liukin + Body of Alicia Sacramone

I can't find any software that can create this idealistic gymnast. So no picture.

Evening was great. Watched track olympics. YES, USA OWNED IN THE RELAYS. It's alright even though USA didnt win as much gold medal as China. At least they did well in gymnastics.

Highlight of the Beijing Olympics 2008: Women Gymnastics
Highlight of the Women Gymnastics: United States of America
Highlight of the United States of America: Nastia Liukin.

See the link? Hence, Nastia Liukin is the highlight of the Summer Games 2008.

Sigh. Sabbatical week has come to an end. This means that lesson is going to dominate the following week. How dreadful.

Wait.....Nastia Liukin is hot and she's back in Texas.

Why am I a Singaporean?!! Why?!?!

Most Addictive Sport Ever!

It was a great deal of fun last night.

And I got addicted.

I did not take drugs.

There wasn't any girls present.

It was just rackets and green balls.

Fang and Shi Ping, I'm sorry for taking up the course alone.

Alone (definition) - not including either/both of you

The sport was bloody addictive!

And the worst thing is, there is no cure for it.

Nastia Liukin / Sabbatical

First and foremost: Nastia Liukin
She's brilliant. An Olympic silver for Uneven Bars. Just too good.
Wait, watch this youtube video first (take note of what happened at 1:58)
And remember to unmute your speakers

The clip lasts only for 4 minutes.


DID YOU SEE THAT?! Apart from her incomparable elegance and utmost graciousness, she is tremendously intelligent and quick and smart and resilient. Surely no one can argue that. Even when she lost her balance and was so close to falling off the beam, Nastia thought so quickly and turned the imbalance into an aesthetic move. Perhaps that was a precaution prepared long before but still, it was quick reflexes. Look at her! Look at her actions! One word: Wow. A champion in the making (or has already been made).

It's set then. I'm staying in Singapore for good. Sigh. The sabbatical week was really cool, at least for the first two days. The course is about war films and you've guessed it right, we do nothing else but watching war films and of course, discuss them. The movies were fantastic and the discussions were reasonably hmmmmm....fun. I enjoy this course a lot. Really. It's really interesting.

Come to think of it, it's all fate that I am not going to Sabah. See, first of all, I thought I was disappointed in withdrawing from the OBS trip, but I know that I was heaving a sigh of relief at the back of my heart. Secondly, the sabbatical course I chose highly appealed to me, though I initially didnt have any idea or confidence in my choice. But two days have passed, and I'm enjoying every single bit of the course. Thirdly, before I fell sick and transformed into a zombie last week, I was pretty much worried about my HRP after I heard from some people that the deadline is on 25th August, one day after OBS. What I felt was apprehension, worry and uncertainty. So to speak, I thought going for OBS would screw my grades. Most important of all, because I was sick, that's why I know of a US gymnast with the name of Nastia Liukin. I shan't elaborate on this (have already separated a section for her). Then I fell sick, I guess the virus was passed on to me by someone living on the same level as me (have no idea who that is course people were already sick when we checked in).

All of these link! BUT it is not to say that I fell sick on purpose. It's just that I was trying to understand the dilemma I face. Maybe I wished too much. Maybe I got what I wished for. Maybe it's all fate. Damn it. Maybe if there is no "maybe" I may be in Sabah now. Just one quote for today:

Day of Records

Record (1) - Michael Phelps broke Mark Splitz record of 7 gold medals in a single Games by obtaining a remarable (well, this is definitely an understatement) 8 GOLD MEDALS. The result of the 4 x 100 medley men was not unexpected, since the US team have won it for so many times. Phelp's grin explains his delight. But I still thought his victory yesterday in 100m butterfly by a hundreth of a second was the best race I have ever watched. So there we have it, our first record of the day.

Record (2) - Singapore Table Tennis. Score 3-0, in favour of China. What can I say? The gold medal has been theirs (China's) ever since the Olympics started. No sign of falter. One slice, and the singapore's team is dead. Whatever the case, we still got a medal. A silver medal. The table tennis team definitely deserve some commendation.

Record (3) - Nastia has topped my Hottest Women Alive list. It is a record of THREE DAYS. Usually, my top hottest woman will change every day, but after three days, Nastia Liukin is still VERY VERY HOT. This is most probably because of her Russian-American look and also that I visited her website several times in the morning. A pity that she didnt win the gymnatics floor. Got second. BUT she's still hot.



LOLLOLLLOLLOLOLLOLOLOL



That's all, wonder how OBS people are doing over at sabah


Oh yeah, I keep forgetting this point.

Record (4) - Shi Ping's still not as tall (have to be very careful with my words if not he will chase me down the streets with a chopper in his hands ). A record 929884792317465481379273107386129212837 days! Universe Record!!!! Whoots!!

Suspense

Felt much, much better today. I even thought that I was fit enought to go sabah, which in any case, is not feasible. First of all, I am still pretty unsure of my own medical condition. Secondly, Mr Chewty and Ms HuangSJ have allocated me to a new sabbatical course, and how then could I possibly change my mind at the eleventh hour? It's totally out of the question, out of my hands too.

Okay, today was full of suspense.

Si Heng sms-ed me and said that he was sick too. Probably got the same illness as me. But his situation is worse off than mine because he realized that he was sick only this morning. So, he has very little time to make a decision on whether to go sabah or not. In the end, he obliged and decided to risk his health for the camp. I don't know whether this is a good decision but I pray that he come back in one piece, alive and kicking. So remember to take your medicine dude, if you want to survive at the camp. *Crossing my fingers really tight*

Next suspense of the day was when Michael Phelps battled for his 7th olympic gold medal. how amazingly unsurprising. He won by a hundreth of a second. brilliant. "absolutely brilliant" was the only thing the commentator could say. his arm movement was so fast that he managed to touch the wall before Milorad Cavic could reach the end. Phelp's gold medal was not as convincing though, because his victory in 100m butterfly was the result of a mixture of luck and skill.

Third suspense. Played Call of Duty 3 on PS2. kept dying and couldn't seem to find a way out. Squandered about 2 hours. damn it. but the game was a hell lot of fun.

Fourth suspense. Usain Bolt won the 100m Men's final. 9.69 sec. World record. And the guy's only 21 years old. what can i say? easy race for him, no fight from any of his opponents, not even Powell (got fifth I think) or Tyson Gay (didnt even qualify for finals). He still has a lot to show the world that's for sure.

Final suspense. "A girl". On Yu Song's tagboard. knows who she is. ask yu song for her name to confirm. he did not oblige. but he said "she is a brilliant athlete". how did he know who she is? God, I just wasted like 30 secs of my life typing this (not-so-useful) paragraph. No offense (varies on different people).

Damn. I want to go sabah so badly.

Crime for Passion

Today was well, short. Literally and figuratively



Short (1) - I was sick (at least much better now). So I went to school like a zombie, emitting oozy fluid from my nose every 2 minutes. Finally, I could not take it and went to see a doctor with Mr Sng. Thanks to him. Oh yeah, I got like damn high B4 for my geography- 64%. Okay, this is getting out of hand, why am I always so unlucky to miss that meagre half mark which could have given me a B3? That's it, this is the third test that I missed out a higher grade by half a mark. How unfortunate. Couldn't spot any marks to fight for though. Besides, I was so sick that I was praying for the test paper checking to end soon, so it's not likely of me to bleed for that miserable half mark. But whatever the case, I am quite contented with my marks because I expected myself to get a C6, hence the smiley face. But the whole thing was kinda ironic.



Short (2)- Mr Sng brought me to see a doctor. So I get to skip chinese lesson (heard from Goh Id that I got 62% for Chinese- at least it's not a high B4). Mr Sng was really nice, because he specially took time out to bring me to the doctor.



Short (3)- The consultation with the doctor was tremendously short- less than 5 minutes. I now know how priceless time is, with you having to pay $7 for a minute wasted. The visit to the doctor thus came as a price, at a costly sum of $35.



Short (4)- I slept like 3-4 hours in the afternoon when I came home because I felt terribly ill. Went to bed at about 2pm, and BAMN, it was already 6pm when I woke up, seeing Singapore's table tennis team celebrating as if they have become champions. Well, but they truly deserve the finals and oh finally, we can get a medal! We'll definitely get a medal, the problem is just the colour of the medal. I guess it'll be shimmering, shiny, eye-catching and a-colour-not-too-different-from-white.



Short (5)- Watched a tiny bit of olympics. Women Gymnastics!!!! Nastia Liukin has a pretty face, and reasonably good figure. YES! USA finally won their first gymnastics gold medal, and it came from Nastia! So by looking at her, time really flies, and before I knew it, she was already on the podium, standing tall above Shawn Johnson and a Chinese gymnast. Nastia is my new female superstar. Do look out for her! LOL





That's about it. Damn, I missed the 8km time trial.

P.S. Nastia Liukin is sizzling!

Oh yah. One more thing.
Short (6)- Shi Ping's short.

Bad Day

Everything has gone terribly wrong today. well, almost. But the good thing didnt turn out to be a good thing after all, if you get what i mean.

I started off the day horribly with a freaking sore throat. I thought this sore throat was unavoidable. Every swallow was pure torture. Every sip of water is like drinking poision. Every mouthful of food burns my throat. Every word I say feels like I have been strangled really hard. It's plain torture. It's more than pain.I can't do anything about it, except to pray that this is just temporary and hoping that my cough medicine will cure my sore throat problem. If only a miracle will happen.

I got B3 for Chemistry. Quite contented with my marks because it is finally not a 'C' grade. But it would gave been better if Kong just give me ever-so-precious half mark that will pull my grade up to an A2. It's the same as Biology. 24/30 for both subjects, just half more mark to A2. sigh.

Then SLim called for 3H3 to meet him at 11am. Of course, it couldnt be more than a nagging session. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a roaring session. He repeated continuously that our class have regressed ever since term 1. Honestly, our class doesnt really have class spirit- we all work individually and there are also cliques in our class. The Aphelion people hang out together, then Ming-Joel-Ephraim, then the Pro-edians. We do not mix around with one another. The whole scolding session was mainly because of our dipping grades.

What made the whole scolding session worse was that SLim openly commended me (and Kah How) in the middle of the scolding. Like WTH, why couldnt he choose a better time to do that (if it is really that neccesary)? I feel extremely awkard and embarrassed (ironically) because I got praised when everyone else in the class got blasted. Oh god, I am extremely worried about things between me and my class. I was wondering whether they will think that I am arrogant and proud because of the history test incident. Guys, I really am not proud of it, and honestly speaking, I feel rather guilty for scoring such marks. I dont want people to misunderstand me as being a show-off or an arrogant asshole. really, I dont want to have poor relationships with my peers.

Now I know how hard it is to be modest. I also realise that being in the spotlight is not nice at all.

Soccer match for third placing was rather disappointing. We lost 5-2 to Siheng's team. I didnt play cos I was sick. Saw the looks on Lester's and Junyi's faces. Disappointment. Dejection. Dread. Why dread? Dread that more goals are bound to be scored against them. I am so sorry guys for falling sick. sorry. I admit I contributed very little to the team and any credit should go to the other members and not me.

This is an emo post, one that I have not written for some time. But today is a good day for reflection, since so many things have happened all within 24 hours. Hope dearly that tomorrow will be a better day.

Praying really hard.

Money No Enough

Lol. National Day yesterday. How exciting. One can actually predict the performances at the NDP. Come on, every year is so similar tht i wonder why S'poreans still bother watching the NDP. And god bless the earth, the fireworks presentation was plain boring, if you compare it with that of the Beijing Olympics.

So, went to watch Money No Enough 2. Was alright I guess. Extremely critical of the government, which is why I enjoyed the sarcasm a lot. Jack Neo may have directed (and acted) in many movies, but I dont think any one of which has stood out prominently. All of his movies revolve around the same themes: family, love, society, etc. And his movies always come with criticisms of the government. He should change his paradigm towards movie-making, in my opinion. Well, what's for me to critique him? His "Money No Enough 2" was still watch-able but not exceptionally captivating.

8th August

National Celebrations today, nothing interesting to talk about.

Played street soccer for Balls and Post. Thought my goalkeeping was really really really bad and sucky. Sorry guys, those goals are my fault. Am feeling guilty about it now.

Ran 8km time trial at Mac. Thought the timing was reasonable for me : 36:17. Just have to take things slowly, and progressively.

Went home from Boarding school. lol

August 5th, 2008

Boring day. Class phototaking, stupid hip-hop, maths understandable, Biology as funny, Chemistry-what to say, Eng: Ms Dry, according to Goh ID, then killer physics spa test. killer ie it was bloody hot in that torture chamber.

yay, boarding school connection is damn fast. yipee. tmr go immigration centre to make IC. means have to leave early.

OH YEAH, Hip-Hop lesson was stupid. The dumbest ever. That ponytailer (Hip Hop instructor) couldn't be more bastard than he was today. Thank god it was the last lesson. He wanted everyone class to perform in front of others. So we were like OMGWTFBBQ. But then we still obliged. 3H2 went first then 3H3. Lol. That ponytailer suddenly talked about some juggler learning things fastest when he has been encouraged. Like WTF, I DONT SEE THE FCUKING LINK. Then I damn buai song him then say him "Quick LAR". Then he just stared at me like some assh***. Then just continue. then dance dance dance. I was quite worried that he would confront him. But phew, nothing happened. Then when I went back to boarding school, Jun Yi said the ponytailer was damn pissed today (the period after my PE lesson when the SMTPers have their PE). Lol. Instantaneously, I know the reason why. Of course it is me lar! zzz. He was so pissed then he started hurling vulgarities.

LOL. At least I learnt something today. lame hip hop lessons. Like as if we gained much from it.

Checked into Boarding School

Sunday. The first day of the week. Or maybe the last day of the week. But more importantly, it’s one day after my birthday. So that means I’m 15 years and one day old. Wow.
Monday. The second day of the week. Or maybe the first day of the week. Either which, Monday is still the worst dread day of the week- I get Monday blues, you see. And what makes the Monday on 4th August even more dreadful is that there will be Literature and History tests. How exciting and exhilarating.

Yeah, checked into HC Boarding School. Second time staying here, though the first time was not very restricted by rules and boundaries. Was initially very excited about the prospect of living with siheng, junyi and nicklui. Still as excited, but it has somehow faded, mainly because the connection in this compound totally sucks. It takes 5 mins to load to hotmail.com and MSN messenger is not even bloody accessible. Boom, there goes my life, social life.
Today was pretty amazing,actually. Especially at dinner. After the meal, surprisingly and unexpectedly, the lights went off. At that moment, I had a vague idea of what was coming next, but the image in my mind was not exactly very convincing. But the flicker over the next table credited my thoughts. Mr Sng was holding a squarish chocolate cake with candles on it. Honestly, I was quite amazed, surprised, I should say. I thought my birthday was no big deal. “It’s just another day” was what I thought yesterday, and I did mention that in yesterday’s post. But what happened over dinner came as a total shock to me. HA, THANKS MR SNG, for remembering my birthday and going the expense to buy me a cake. APPRECIATE IT ALOT!! Thanks, really, thanks.

So, it has been 8 hours since I have checked it. Time really does flies. Really do hope relationship with siheng and junyi improves and not worsen.

Pop Goes the Fifteen-Years-Old Weasel

Lol. Happy birthday to me. Somehow I dont give a big deal of whether today was my birthday or not (2nd August). Weird. In fact, I didnt even remember that my birthday was coming so until yesterday's (1st August) late evening. Whatever, I guess birthdays are hi-and-bye kind of thing. One moment you are savouring that 24 hours, unwilling to let it go, the next moment, it was snatched away from you without you knowing it. Bam! There goes another day. Just another day. Ha, why am I so skeptical? lol. Maybe it was the after-watching-batman-and-joker-fight-it-out effect.

So today morning was boring. Reading through crucible notes. sigh. then I got tired of those words and started youtub-ing. Quite a fruitful haul.

Presenting to you Novac Djokovic and his Impressions, take a look:

It was the best moment I had on my birthday. Djokovic was damn funny. hilarious. I feel that he imitated Rafal Nadal and Maria Sharapova the best. Love his antics so much.

then started reading some history notes. nothing much to talk about.

Went to Lot 1 with family. Had some jap fish. cant remember what it's called, but it sure is delicious. Watched Batman, thought that it was pretty okay. Maybe I was too tired. But I could not understand some parts of the movie. But overall, it was cool, very nice. love the Joker for his creativity, not his sadism. :)

And of course, thanks to all who sent me greetings !! Appreciated!!!! :D And all those who did not.... haha

One (hint:girl) even called me, and another (second hint: girl) was the first to wish me a happy birthday. Period. No more girls. All others are guys. Sigh. a bit crestfallen. But the phonecall lifted my fallen spirits. LOL. HAHA, THANKS DUDES AND EVERYONE ELSE.

See, my birthday has just ended. Back to reality.

One week of exams

sigh. what a week. a very busy one indeed. so busy till I dont even have the time to blog. There were tests every single day of the week, and we all got so stressed that everyone went bonkers during this period. Goh Id was the most affected victim, followed by Ling Feng, then Zhi Hao, finally Shi Cheng. Terrible occurences in the classes, especially during science and languages classes. We spent most of our lesson time laughing our heads off at the humourous eccentricity of Goh Id, the perversed actions of Ling Feng, the sprained neck of umbrella-spinning Zhi Hao, and finally the incessant laughing machine of Shi Cheng.

THE WHOLE WEEK WAS A BLAST. TOTALLY.

Goh Id went around screwing up the microscopes in the biology lab. well, it wasnt really screwing them up, but he just did something till the light could not pass through to the eyepiece. HAHAHA. AND YIP CHENG WAI THOUGHT THE MICROSCOPES WERE SPOILT BECAUSE THE LIGHT BULBS WERE BEING ON FOR TOO LONG, AND QUICKLY PROMPTED ONE OF MY CLASSMATES TO SWITCH OFF THE POWER SWITCH. "Quick! Quick! Turn off the switch! The light bulb is too hot! Quick!" HAHAHA. IT WAS BLOODY HILARIOUS!!!!! Then Xu Jie and Goh Id were playing this-is-my-chair game. And in the end, the victim was Dr Yip although Goh Id was eventually heaved out of his seat by Xu Jie. She was SO worried that Goh Id had fallen and repeatedly asked whether he was fine. "Eh, your back okay anot? Got hit your head? Need to see doctor anot?" Haha. She was really funny. Dr Yip's the best teacher we have.

Then there was Ling Feng and Zhi Hao during chinese lesson. Zhi Hao acted as if he had sprained his neck or something and turned his head like some fagot. In fact, he 'couldnt' even move his head, so he shifted his entire body instead. ha, he looked so funny with his neck elongated like some giraffe. Then Ling Feng tried to tease him by carressing his back and neck. Finally, Zhi Hao could not bear the caress and said," Who was that?! You better tell me before I murder all of you!" He meant me, shi cheng and lingfeng. haha. Eventually, he couldnt bear his laughter and started releasing his emotions to a point when LeePL (chinese teacher) put him to the seat in front. JOKER.

Just a summary of the entire week. highlights. Oh yeah, and there were those killer test, sigh, dont feel like talking about them.

LOL. Hwa Chong lost to Raffles in the RI-HCI Shield Challenge. We lost floorball, won basketball by a single point and lost 4-1 to those raffles dudes. how embarrasing. The soccer team was not playing soccer. and kudos to aaron, xuean, akilan and siheng for saving some pride for hwachong.

25th July

Totally shagged, I mean shacked.

I ran like 11 km and walked like 1 km with the cross country team. Very, very tired, but it was satisfactory. Though I got some excruciating pain in my thigh muscle and unceasing lactic acid in my legs. But I still managed to complete the run, until when I felt the pain. It was cool.

Yeah, it was half day, more like 1 hour released earlier from lesson. The school admin should really check up the dictionary on what half day means. Then played soccer with shiping, szeyuan and some others. Quite fun. Let in a few goals. Foolish. Lol. I was trying to have some fun. haha.

Then I played basketball with Alvin, Irvin and small Sean. I teamed up with some Basketball Sec One pro and totally owned Irvin and Alvin. Haha, Alvin said he had seven assists and I had seven goals. lol. Honestly, without my height, I will suck at basketball, and soccer.

Biology Test, English Test, HP Catfight

lol. Thursday is finally over. Tomorrow will be Friday. And the day after tomorrow will be Saturady. And then Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Hope time really flies just as much.

Couldnt believe what happened during Biology Test. Actually I wrote the correct answers, and probably due to my lack of self-confidence, I changed the answers at the last minute. How smart. Should have trusted myself. Boo.

The highlight of the day was the HP Catfight (as I calls it). Shouldnt talk too much about it but it was quite fun. And a waste of time too. So things should be better now. Hopefully. Really do hope teachers don't put us in a spot by asking us questions about the discussion.

Not a magnifcent or highly interesting picture. It's just to prove that I was at the place. There, Mr Ng, Mr Sng, and Ms Loke (I think that's what she is called). Everyone was so sian.

23 July, 2008

Boring Day. Especially during like..like.. er..likelike assembly. The speaker was likelike very like funny. like hilarious. Shiping, gohid, and i were like like er like laughing at him like counting how many times like he said like "like". Totally like boring. Don't know like why like er like they invited like this like kind of like speaker. Then we have Mrs Chen, our newest counsellor, talking to us about peer pressure to watch pornography. Haha. It was a laughing session. How stupid can the video get?!?!

Then Maths lesson. forget to bring my modulus worksheet AGAIN. how irritating. scored like A for maths test. damn heng. thought i would have gotten B4 or B3. phew. Then Lit. Sigh. Crucible. I kinda regret not reading it over the holidays.

Ahh, English lesson. Another everybody-lets-party lesson. As usual, Ling Feng made the others laughed till our guts hurt. Gregory accidentally pulled out the detachable table of the seat and made Shi Cheng laughed like someone who has "an abnormal medical condition", as quoted by Mrs Rosalind Lee. Then Ling Feng (and Shi Cheng) figured out how to detach the table from the seat. And innovatively, he treated it as a machine gun and started making gun-splattering sounds. HAHAHAHAHAHA. It was hilarious. Goh Id was even better. He thought that the only way to detach the table was to get it out forcefully. And it was really forceful till the table could not be attached back to the seat. Hahahahaha. Then Ling Feng suddenly changed the rhythm of the 'machine gun' sound to that of those Cheena-made toy guns. hahahahaha. That was the best. Everyone turned 3 years old.

Yeah, it like er like rained in the like like morning. like like So like like like no like like like like like like assembly. Er...like Yipee!


(UPDATED AN HOUR LATER)
OH MY GOD. SOMETHING SCARY HAD JUST HAPPENED TO ME. I WILL START FROM THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING THAT HAD JUST HAPPENED.

GOH ID GOOGLED MY NAME AND TOLD ME THAT HE HAD FOUND MY BLOG. I WAS QUITE SURPISED BUT WASNT SHOCKED. AFTER THAT, DUE TO MY SUPER HIGH EGO, I GOOGLED MY OWN NAME TOO. FOUND VERY FEW LINKS TO MY "NG WEI LUN". BUT THERE WAS A LOT OF LINKS TO THIS PERSON CALLED "XU WEI LUN". AT FIRST, I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST A FAMOUS RANDOM BLOGGER. BUT AS I WAS CURIOUS (AFTER THE SAW THE LINK HOTSCREENSAVERS), I CLICKED ON ONE OF THE LINK WITH THE NAME XU WEI LUN. SHE WAS A TAIWAN CELEBRITY. APPARENTLY ACTED IN A FEW TV DRAMAS. THEN I TOLD GOH ID AND SHI PING ABOUT IT. THEY WERE LIKE "EH, SHE'S NOT BAD ACTUALLY", "SHE LOOKS QUITE GOOD FROM SIDEVIEW". THEN, SUCCUMBING TO PEER PRESSURE, I SAID "LOL, YAH." BUT EVENTUALLY, CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT WHEN I STARTED TO READ THE REPLIES THAT WERE LEFT ON THE SITE.

ONE OF THEM WAS LIKE THIS:
yanto ecchi
she’s too young to die i’m very symphaty to her may rest in peace,wei lun..

ANOTHER ONE GOES LIKE THIS:
Tian Ping
I was really shocked to hear that news a few days ago. She’s too young & too talented to die. Her death has shocked all Asian Showbiz. She cried when her parents & friends called her name, though she couldn’t say anything. She’s so miserable! Above all, rest in peace, Wei Lun…

I WAS SHOCKED. FLABBERGASTED. DUMBFOUNDED. FOR ONCE, I FELT MY HEART SKIPPED A THOUSANDS BEATS. REALLY. IT WAS VERY VERY VERY VERY SCARY.

AND WHEN I TOLD GOH ID AND SHI PING ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE IS NO LONGER ALIVE, THEY WERE LIKE "WTF" (GOH ID) AND "NOOOOO" (SHI PING). SHI PING'S "NOOOO" WAS FOLLOWED BY "WHY MUST THIS HAPPEN TO HER WEILUN!~!", "SUCH A HOTTY WEI LUN!".

GOH ID AND I WERE SERIOUSLY SCARED OUT OF OUR WITS AFTER READING THE POST ON THE WEBPAGE. IT'S SO SCARY THAT I AM HAVING WILD THOUGHTS NOW. I THINK I AM NOT GOING TO THE BATHROOM TILL TOMORROW MORNING. GOH ID WENT," EH, SCARY, EH". IT WAS REALY SCARY.

OH GOD, BUT I WAS VERY SHOCKED. I REALLY DIDNT KNOW THAT SHE WAS DEAD. WHOEVER IS READING THIS RIGHT NOW OR IF YOU ARE XU WEI LUN, I AM SORRY IF HAVE INSULTED YOU. I AM VERY SORRY. IT WAS FOLLY ON MY PART TO EXPLORE TOO MUCH INTO THINGS. SORRY, SORRY, SORRY. AND I APOLOGISE ON THE BEHALF OF MY FRIENDS BECAUSE I BELIEVE I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE THING. I AM VERY SORRY.

What a Day

It's was a tough day. Hold on, everyday in Hwa Chong is tough. But the morning started very, very, very, very terribly. We were like damn happy that we (Track and Field, Judo, Gymnast and the rest of the school population) were finally getting our much-anticipated half day. The anticipation was made even more intense as the announcement of achievements grew incessantly. Moreover, Hon was like damn happy that Hwa Chong did so tremendously well this year by highlighting the number of international competitions we have won. The most commendable is the Hwa Chong Choir. They were labelled as the best choir in the entire world. HOW AMAZING. Seriously, I was shocked, because the choir was one of the newest EP3s in Hwa Chong. So, it was quite a surprise.

Then Maths Test. Killer. Murderous. Nothing much to say.

English. Rosalind had a talk with me. pretty insightful.

Racial Harmony Day








Today was pretty cool. It was Racial Harmony Day and there could be nothing more important than having fun, right? So, I thought attending Indian yoga will increase my sexual ability but after the two-hour session, the words of the instructor gave me new insights into life.

It wasn't much of a yoga session, really. Instead of trying to balance on our hands, we ended up playing games which killed about an hour. Ball game, catching game and pass the stick game. Quite amusing. It was actually to give the instructor a break because she was coughing her head off. Sean was, as usual, over-excited. Jia Ming, as usual, emotionless. HAHAHA. Sean pokes Jia Ming and all he went was, "ow. ow. ow. ow. ow." Oh god, someone give him some feelings and face expressions!

Yeah, these are the poses I learnt in the morning:









What great figure! This is called



standing like a tree. Something



along that line.



See the difference? Smile, lady, smile!
The Butterfly



But I find the most fruitful thing I have learnt about yoga (not that it improves our sexualy ability) is that we are working too hard. She mentioned that we humans can actually live till the ripe, ripe , ripe old age of 160 if we take things easy in life, and not to put too much stress on oneself. Everything thing that we do involves what is going on in our mind, body, heart and soul. Today's generation enjoy the most comfortable lives ever, as compared to the older generations when the royalties don't even enjoy the things we have today. But still, are we happy? Are we contented? See, we humans, especially in our generation, tend to chase for materials without thinking whether there is a real need for them. In today's soceity, we constantly seek for the best things on earth, but right from the beginning, we have already lost our sense of direction, we are all walking aimlessly, with no real goal, no real target. And once we fail to manifest our 'dreams', we burden ourselves with unnecessary stress.



We always say that life is hard, life is stressful. But actually, the only thing that is your inner self. It all starts form within. If you begin to wear your body out till there is no more energy left to function, stress will build up. Ever wondered why your body gets tired after a day full of excitement or anxiety? This is because fuel (adrenaline) is produced in your body, but we tend to ignore it. So, in this case, it's like filling a car's tank with oil but not using it. That's where energy gets wasted. That's how you get tired. That is what happens to you if you think too much about things.



Yoga (I am no expert; I am just merely regurgitating what the instructor said) is about aligning your mind, body, soul and heart to head towards the same direction. If one can do so, life won't be that stressful, that tiring. Life's hard, but the problem can be rectified if that inner self of yours is determind to change. For the better, of course.



Oh yeah, there was the Humanities Challenge. It's finally over. More of a sigh of relief for Nelson than me, because honestly speaking, I didn't do much. But Jia Quan and me were out of our freaking minds. We played with the medals like some retards and deprived fagots. HAHAHAHA. But it was hilarious.


Crazy, huh? Very insane.

Serenity

Hmmm. Serenity? Yeah, serenity. Where do you think you can find serenity? Of course, the library. I went to the library this afternoon, hoping that I could squeeze some mathematics formulas into my brain. Squeeze is definitely the word to use. I was brain-shacked, muscles-worn and body-exhausted. The ordeal was a mental, physical, spiritual and sexual burn out. But nevertheless, I manage to complete one whole page of "Proving Identities" qns. Mind you, there are seven really tough qns, especially when I had missed that lesson (during Humanities Research Symposium for Youth). I gave myself a pat on the back every time I manage to solve a qn. There will usually happen after an hour of intensive working and writing and erasing and crying and tearing and emo-ing. It was really hard word, and it definitely murdered 60 percent of my brain cells.

Other than the memorable trip to the library, there wasn't anything special that happened today.

Oh yeah, just minutes ago, I saw this really cool picture in my Friendster photo album. Really cool.

Si Heng call it "THE MAGNIFICENT 4":


Very nice, huh? It brings back memories. Memories when I was really slim (now I'm really fat), when the four of us enjoyed every single training today. That's a bit exaggerating, but nonetheless, we tasted victory, glory and honour together.

See, I'm leading the way, totally owning siheng. And smiling too.

The Starting Line

Well, I've finally revived my blog. There is a reason why I name it "My New Lease of Life". I thought maybe, if I create a blog, and when people start reading how I feel about everything and anything, probably things will change. I mean, my life will change, hopefully for the better. Another reason is because I am just too lazy to write in my diary.

I have considered very carefully whether I should set up my blog. Yes? No? It's a choice I have to make. At one end of the spectrum, I NEED to express my thoughts and feelings. At the other end, I thought a blog was a rather potent medium of truth and revelation, which in my opinion, is not an entirely good thing because I believe that truth hurts. Seems like I have overcome my apprehension and decided to free myself from a leash that was never there. I should at least listen to my heart, and not totally to my mind. So, here I am, giving myself this opportunity to voice my thoughts.

There are a lot of things that have been going through my minds this term, especially when the third school term is always, without fail, fast-paced and exceptionally hectic. There will be competitions, tons and tons of homework, and of course stress from exams, peers, family, teachers, school, society, you name it. Stress can originate from practically everything and anything. I can't say that I am stressed, but it is just that I am getting tired of things.

I don't know much about the education system in other countries, but here in Singapore, we students are not leading a comfortable life. Societal pressure is constantly pushing the younger generation to strive and toil and bleed and sweat to get to the top-est peak in soceity. Honestly, I am rather confused or clueless of where I am heading. Figuratively. Is there a route I can follow? Do I get to make my own decisions? What will I be when I grow up? These are some just questions that have been buzzing irritatingly in my head. So literature really does make people think differently and unconventionally.

It has been confirmed that Siheng will be the next cross country captain. I admire him as a runner, a team player a champion. And now, adding on to the list (hopefully), will be an outstanding leader. I have faith in him, trust him with every drop of blood I can offer. He's definitely the only and best candidate for the leadership position. Treat me as a dreamer, but I daresay I have fantasized about being the captain of the team. However, it's still nothing more than a dream, a fantasy. At least I thought I should fight for the vice-captain role. When I thought I should settle for the assistant leadership role, I have doubts about myself. Unlike most of the members in the cross country team, I have not been training much. Indeed, it was my injury that pulled me down, deprived me of the chance to compete for the school and restrained my abilities. I guess it was the lack of care (on my part) for my knees while I was still under Ram. This season has gone pretty quickly, but hey, there's still next year, and the year after the next, and the year after that... ...

Whatever the case, I thought it is only fair to give myself the opportunity to come out of my injury and rise to the occasion for the next cross and track season.

P.S. I shall not publicize this blog. But if this blog is somehow found out, I guess it's all destiny. Come to think of it, I am the one who actually creates my own destiny.
