Another day of my life.

Had lunch with PV people + wayne. Had a good time.

Went home and started doing chinese xue xi dans. quite okay.

sigh. so much work to do, so little time left. One Sunday.

Lun4 Wen2, Literature assignment, English assignment, History Mock Test, Geography Test, Physics Test, Chinese Class Test, HRP.

How bad can it get?

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.

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.
