My resolution for the coming year is very simple.
-I will not skip any track training in whichever I am in, unless I do not know about it.
*There's no excuses for me because JJC is just one street down my block so I will not have to worry how late I will be home after training :)
Addition goal is of course to pass the year 1 promos haha...Take care ppl..Don't fall sick or have any mishaps on tomorrow or you might be *suai* the whole year...

What a bad way to end this 2004... The quakes followed by the fatal waves and bOoM-sPlAsH~! Thousands of thousands of lives are taken away.

I read the main section of today's ST, and something popped into my mind..The first article was about Singapore urging ASEAN to get regional leaders together and plan a relief fund system. Look how small Singapore is and how little Singaporeans died in this year-end tragedy. It is totally incomparable to other neighbouring countries but yet Singapore cares so much of its involvment in the global relief for this disaster. Way to go !
Frankly speaking, I did not help at all but my family has got 3 bags of clothes ready for the volunteers to take them to Sri Lanka.
I'm having a mild sore throat now but it's getting better since yesterday night. Damn that mosquito in my room! I couldn't sleep at all and I have to shift my itchy body to the sofa in da living room. My throat kept me awake till dawn and guess how I woke up? I was having a dream... something like lotsa ppl lining up to shoot a free-throw ball(basketball). Then ppl were chatting around...talking... And! It was actually caused by the MVP Valentine drama on Channel U. My sista was watching it and that explains why that dream came so suddenly.. What a way to end this year!
God bless them

When you have a bad L1R5 score, everything seems to be hindering your way. Now then I realised JJC doesn't offer attractive subject combi's.Not good enough for me at least.I'm now again feeling unsatisfied abt my score. I think i'll have a bigger headache over the same matter if I'm going to acjc.. I wonder how tracy can dare to enter acjc with 20pts! I mean her cca record is good, but can she take the heated competition in academics there?
Man....damn study woes.
For me I'll put my high jump career at 70% and studies at 30% from now onwards,ya?

My half malay half chinese cousin is really getting out of hands! He came over to my place and stayed for almost every single day of the end-of-yr holidays. That's fine when you have an adorable cousin who is obedient and respect whoever they should. But in my case, I've got one who keeps eating up all those tibits in my house even when I told him not to finish a particular one...Then there's him showing disrespect to my grandparents who live with me. He always say those offensive words as if he's the owner of the house. In addition, he always say some kind of disgusting words like, "Sexy bra", "You got hair down there?"
He's totally outta control.
I'd rather spend my time on playing my games or reading a book than listen to his bullshit...Plus I'm going to isolate him-dun talk to him, dun let his eyes comes into contact with mine.
Afew days back I took a afternoon nap after I kept my ps2 cable wire on top of my wardrobe to prevent him from playing behind my back.I told him not to play though.In the end he still played and it makes me mad! @#$%
Then yesterday midnight I kept the AV cable in another place but he still somehow found it and played my ps2 all the while in the morning before I woke up.That night he hit my "balls" with a solid thread ball and immediately after that he said he was passing me the ball. What the hEll? I declared that he cannot get his hands on my ps2 again ever but look what happened in the next morning? Served him right to get 160pts for his psle. GrrR....

I've missed out so many gatherings this month! To start things off, I turned down the ice-skating junwei asked me to go...Then it was the movie Finian and Stanley asked me to watch. For that one, I'll defe nd myself. The movie was Blade Trinity and I didn't like that genre since I watched the previous one. And today I couldn't go to the X'mas lunch which junwei seeked my presence there. I'm still in Malaysia at that point of time duh.. >.<
My resolution/s for year '05 is ready. Stay online and take notice!

I'm back from my chalet stay at Aloha Chalets, at Changi. It was totally eventful and I'll list every one of it haha...Let's start from the arrival part.
Things I brought:
Clothes, bathing items, fishing kit(including rod and bait)
I travelled through 20+ MRT stations from Boon Lay all the hell' way to Tampines...I just raised my record by one station. I travelled from Boon Lay to Expo b4...both then and now alone lor.
At the Tampines station, I joined Liu Yun who was standing by the side near the control station.As usual, he seemed bored and uninterested in the things around him lol. Finian came shortly after and we set off to get some tibits.But we sparked off a search for the tampines mall.There are a few buildings near the mrt station and we walked a circle around it and asked around for the location of the ntuc as well. Next we couldn't find ntuc fairprice also. There was a overhead sign indicating "supermarket" with an escalator. We went down the escalator and didn't saw it. I suggested to Finian that it is upstairs at 2nd floor cuz I thought that sign meant going up the escalator and not down instead. He defended himself well by stating that ntuc branches are always in the basement. I agreed too then but the fact was there that we couldn't see it from the basement escalator.
Fast Forward >>> We bought a couple of tibits and took bus 29 to Commando Camp there..Another 30 mins gone in just that bus ride.
At the chalet mansion...
Finally the arrival of three punks who stupidly bought so much distilled water from Guardian shop and carried them for like 300m from bus stop to the chalet house until my hands cried for help haha....We were greeted by Mr Ivan Lee's mum and aunt at the door. They were hanging out beside a Merc E200. Mr Lee ushered us into our room at the 1st floor and we all went to his room to cool down and relax. Mr Lee's room was so spacious and the ceiling was twice as high as our room's. Totally intriguing to rest there nia. Hmm let's see what we did next together..Oh. Mr Lee showed us around the mansion and we took a stroll down a cliff semi-covered by undergrowth to the shore. Yucks.Dirty shore.It was just like the one @ West Coast Park. Ya there was mutiple boats anchored in the canal. That was not a sea because there is another shore just about 1km across.We explored the shore and walked along a wooden bridge. Behind the bridge from the shore, it was Changi Beach Club. I'd say that club has found the worst place near the beach to situate in hahaa....It didn't make full use of the beach also lor...Apparently there's nothing you can do in the cordoned area of the sea and beach, unless you want to swim in the seawater rather than the swimming pool in it. The time is about 3.30pm. Shawn called and we're supposed to take that bus back to Tampines and accompany him back to the chalet.However we 3 dudes took our own sweet time and rested too much at our room that Shawn was faster than we thought. Finan, Liu Yun and me went to the bus stop Shawn's supposed to alight and wait for him. And stupid Finian suggested we play Chua Dai Di(Big 2) since we had nothing to do while waiting for Shawn. Finian wants a "O Ya Bei Ya Som" to choose someone to take the cards from the chalet(300 m away) and I quickly rejected knowing that I have absolutely bad luck in that every single time in the past.Liu Yun also didn't liked the idea of doing so. However I gave in to him. "O Ya Bei Ya Som~~!" I'm the loser."See!!!!!!? Wah Lau~!!!!!" I was so mad with the bad luck I have...But it's just not my day lol.. It's my first time playing cards at a bus stop hahaaa...How many of you have tried that? Btw that area is quite deserted cause' there's not much landmarks around except for the Commando Camp and Changi Prison.
Ahemm..I am tired after writing so much in one go. You must be tired too huh? I'll summarise those boring s0-called events.After Shawn arrived we unpacked our bags and placed our things everywhere in the room haha..How tidy can 4 boys be? We hanged around for some time before we had a buffet dinner in the house. Mr Lee's preparation of the chalet is really excellent. I give an excellent for the food too. His relatives are very kind and warm esp her mother who occassionally offered us her home-made dishes and desert personally!!! Mr Lee's students from Woodgrove sec was also as warm and friendly. Yeah we had our fill... Also, my fill of Finian's crude and straightforward comments on the food he ate. Lol he arh...Haven't changed that habit yet... We were all at the elongated table having our dinner(we were sitting at a sq table beside the long one) and some otahs and hotdogs was served to us from the long table..We kindly accepted it. Finian and Liu Yun was nibbling on an otah each and they ate them with a disgusted look haha...It tasted bad..Luckily I didn't tried it. Next was the hotdogs I think...Finian nibbled on it carefully as if he was a food critic on the culinary show Iron Chef.He said something negative about the hotdog...I forgot what...But he said some more and with a tone that I assumed deliberately one. He was as if trying to signal out to the ppl on the long table who served us the food that it is bad...It's ok if you..ermm directly converse politely with the ppl that the food tastes weird or bad... But isn't it too much if you keep saying loudly(hinting offensively to others) things like," Why taste so funny huh???! That person dunno how to cook la.." Aiya..I forgot how Finian said liao..Anyway it just irritated me..as well as Shawn and Liu Yun. Finian, not I want to say u la...be polite and respect others can? Thank You. ~~~~welcome~~
Later into the night we started the majong session. I didn't know how to play at all but after afew hours I learned almost anything I need to from all my 3 friends on the table. "Zhi Mo" was how I won my first game,not to mention the countless no. of games I lost before I got my chance to win lol..Shawn you're the funniest lol..."I want Zhi Mo, you all don't help me hor..." Then everytime he has the last card/tile he will keep chanting Zhi Mo Zhi Mo. He is really lucky sia...wonder if he was wearing red billabong boxers or something underneath anot lol....
If you want to go to Wild Wild Wet in Downtown East by taxi,better go temple pray first. We were at Pasir Ris lor and flagged down several taxis but all said they dunno where that is...Kao..The Wild Wild Wet is so near to where we were flagging taxis and we had to wait so long to get aboard a taxi and go there. Anyway Wild Wild Wet is overrated. If you compare it to the Jurong East water theme park, it is totally not worth it to go WWW. It has only a few more rides to choose from and it costs 4times more expensive. S$12.50 to enter the place. S$2.00 for one locker powered by computer. I think at least one of the rides need to pay extra for the float needed for it. The wave pool is so small and dangerous! It is very steep lol...you walk 5 steps and it goes 30cm deeper. The Shoik River(the canal) was wide but its floor is very very rough. I slipped because I waded past a strong current flow thing and I suffered 3 mild scratches on my feet. Shawn even more jalat..had cuts instead of scratches. The walls of the Shoik River was as rough too.
I saw my primary sch classmate there with her family when I was at the top floor of the 6-men float ride. Her brother is a sec 1 tanglinian!Hurray! Her brother is a tracker like her too! Hurray x2
One of the most shocking taxi ride experience ocurred also when we wanted to go back by taxi. We took the 7th taxi we flagged because the previous 6 taxi drivers claimed that they don't know the place we want to go. Shawn was saying that they don't even know Changi Prison. It's a historical site so valuable to Singapore's tourism and history lor. I thought taxi drivers are supposed to know the attraction sites or something meh?
Although I was planning to fish, I didn't... I placed my bait inside the big freezer and Mr Lee's family cleared it before they left the chalet for home. So I only rational thing to do is the go to the fishing bridge and hopefully borrow some baits. But no! I asked several anglers and none were willing to spare some...Sigh.. DUnno they kiasu or what...Lend some bait only wad...Not lend their flesh also...I really despise them...Fishing is a leisure hobby to enjoy lo.Let everyone have fun ma...Hmpf..Like they can catch any fishes to bring home lor...That kinda of place how can get a big catch?Plus so many anglers fishing together.But on the other hand, who got so stupid so share bait with someone who will fight with you for a catch?So sorry to Shawn who accompanied me to the bridge in the dead of the night for nothing.

Damn it grr. I shouldn't have done back and stomach exercises last night. I woke up at 6am to shut off my alarms that are supposed to ring me up for training. But obviously I didn't go because I laid on my bed and dozed off until 7.30am. Too late liao .. I decided not to go...Feeling some level of guilt lol.
I have to call for job apply past 11am later. I'm still in the shock stage.This is my first time applying for a job and I have no idea what to expect. Everyone has their first times. The attraction of this job was the pay. $500 per week. I kept calling yesterday afternoon and every call was met with an engaged tone. Hopefully I can get this job and I'll buy 4G iPOD and ps2 hehe.

everyone seemed to be making a beeline to junwei's website.
I don't even know why I should keep updating my blog, when i know no one is visiting me here :(
Nevermind I'll throw that thought to the back of my brain and blog whenever I can.
Track was so xiong today! Eh..actually it wasn't so bad when everything's over. I puked my morning milo drink twice after I stepped out of the clementi stadium.Wow I haven't done that digusting act for so long..dun remember if I had one b4.Joel..haha..suffered the consequences of being late. He got cheated into going to west coaast park when we're doing our training in the stadium lolol. At least he came back to the sch gym and did workouts under the inspection of the coach. And Mr Ho...doing his monster training again.Keeps boasting that he'll become Mr Incredible with big chest body and thin legs. He's a funny teacher who knows when to pressurise us with serious workouts.
Now coach/s getting smarter.Set the training days/venues/time beforehand.Mondays in school.Wednesdays in SPE stadium.Fridays at Mac. reservoir.All @ 8.30am.

Eh? I haven't linked beth yet.
Track training @ the mac. reservoir was a killer ! I didn't have enough stamina and endurance to complete the course. I was only instructed to run 2k into the dense forest and then out.
So paiseh for me... The NYGH group started running abt 5-10mins after us, then their coach and a girl zoomed past me. After a while a couple of those girls passed and finally the last group of them overtook me :(
All I can say is that NYGH has alot of potential runners of all distances. Long dist. like a marathon, and short dist like a 100m dash are no problem to those girls. They just take what they are thrown at.On my way out of the forest after I reached the 2km mark which seemed like 20km, the MASTER arrived. Who??? Mr Pedro of course. Then further on, I saw Mrs Jacob! Hmm she was trailing behind afew female Caucasians. I didn't say hi to her when she waved her hand because I was half-panting and running.
Wow... 3 top coaches on one hill. Mr Tham, Ms Tan and Mr Pedro.
I think I need to train throughout this month until I can run mac. reservoir course with ease.
Pardon me that I can't spell that place lol. And for you ppl who think I ran the school cross-country route, no man. We trackers always go to the hill route that is on the right side of the car-park.
*I'm lovin' it. I love to tire myself out and then enjoy the time when I keep breathing hard and non-stop. It's like a challenge to my body.I love the hardship present in track and field !
-That's a killer-

Sad to say...I cut down a lot of training workouts..I'll try to compensate by doing those exercises at home. Boring @ home ! But I'm going to a chalet from 11-13 dec..
I'm so jealous of the success of people around me...But no, I can't reveal my jealousy in any form. Most of them whom I'm jealous of are my friends! I need to stay focused on my training and make a stunning return.
*If you want to stop your friend here(me) from becoming a boring guy, call him for outings.

I did my homework for the best shops to buy modded ps2 in sg. This i-con shop has much praises who bought ps2 stuffs from it. Give comments on my purchase in the tagboard !
Last night, the prom night was a total stunning event. Thank you Jia Yi and Rach for bringing the games, coz it's kinda stupid to do that on a prom night lol... And who arh....? My coach Ah Tham. He was really supportive of me to be a successful high jumper. And I assured him I will try to achieve as best I can go, although i didn't know how to go about doing it...

21st nov night, sarah choo msg me about the track training tomorrow. 9am in school. I was so confused.. I wanted to go so much because I hate my flabby arms and legs lmao.But meanwhile I was thinking if the trackers will shun me away, bacause you know i haven't been to training for months. SO i practically didn't sleep half that night. I still went though...
Sarah, Ben, Haryati, afew familiar faces and one whole group of lower sec boys were there.. Jogged to the Clementi Stadium and one round on the track. I felt so light as i finished the 400m. Whole body has a colder temp than the surroundings lol... That's what happens when one don't exercise for months. Don't try this at home. The whole training is all about me breathing hard for air. That's the summary for my training :)
Now 12.39pm liao. I haven't bought my prom night things..

Some unbelievable stories to say here...
I guess you all watched The Champions on Channel 8, right?
My big sis and his boyfriend went the Tioman Island many many weeks ago and was there with the cast of The Champions! She took one pic with err Ou Xuan and his boyfriend had one with Qi Yiwu. Yiwu is really that suai in real- life.
Then my sis and boyfriend found another actor and his gf as well, but that actor has stopped acting i think. Then the 2 groups of couple spend about every moment of the stay there in Tioman together! :)
It's simply too cool to expect a cast of a drama show to pop up at where you are.
Overview:
The O levels exams has been smooth unless mentioning the no. of times I was nearly late for the morning papers.
Plus I had lost the war of temptation of playing computer. Do you play an average of 3hrs of computer games each day before and during the exam period? I did.And I hate myself for that.
On the morning of the Eng Paper, I was woked up by my alarm clock. I shut it off and laid back onto my bed and tried to rest somemore for about afew mins. Then resting turned into deep sleep. I was reawakened by my grandma who just came back from her grocery shopping. She stepped into my/her room and found me still in dreamland lol.. She gave a quick shout and I was shocked to consciousness. I frantically located a thing that shows the time because my grandma was shouting how late I was going to be for my exams.
It was 7.30am when I noticed the time then. I packed my ass off without washing up and scrambled downstairs for a taxi-ride to school. On the taxi, my nerves across my chest were having shocks every other minute. That feeling was like a small but strong current had passed thru my chest. I arrived outside the school at 7.50am.
I was so groggy for the duration of Paper 1 but it got better for me during the comprehension. When i got back home later in the day I was completely famished..
I came up with some thoughts about having exams. Is what(your career,happiness..etc) you get later in life really enough for the time,energy and resources spent studying for so many years?
I'll put it in easier explaination. Recall the experience you first studied for an exam, until the present. Recall how many gruelling hours you spent putting your ass on the chair and concentrating on your revision. How many late nights did you have to complete your revision. If you only get a poor job in future, then the effort you put in to work hard(study) had gone to waste...So what if you scored so many As in your exams? You may still get a lowly-paid job and have a ordinary life.
My point here is that the effort you put in the hope that you will achieve success in life is not always equalled by what you receive in life later on. But I'm not saying we should all slack now till our life ends.

Look out for me next year in Tanglin ,ppl. I'll shock my friends and the school till the speakers in the parade square shakes for 3 whole seconds.You'll hear the teachers echoing my name everywhere they go, even in toilets they will be talking about me. The 6-pointer for O levels in school. The newspaper will have an article about me, the top scorer in the neighbourhood schools. HCJC will invite me to study there...and the good news continues for me.
*Based on imagination*
I'm going the "Jonah Tang" way. Way To Go! 10 points and below will satisfy me if i miss 6 pts.
^All the best for ppl like me taking O levels this year^ If you're one of them and not my friend, i curse you in O levels lol.. Can't help cursing...Dragon year cohort, tough competition for places in good JCs. My friends don't worry, you will score as brillantly as you hope to be, cause' my words works like a charm. Nay,only in a perfect world.
P.S: This will be my only blog entry. See you guys in a month.

yesterday after school i figured out that i missed a huge opportunity to watch asian's best high jumpers in action. Enzer Asian All-star championships was held on 28th. Imagine I had a video camera(i just don't have it!), going down to CCK stadium and filming how the jumpers did their jumps.
There was a change in gameplay for me in the prelims results. Originally my plan was to use chinese's B3 score to replace physics's, because I didn't have enough time to revise for it at all. It was a 180 deg turnover, because I had a A2 for physics. OH man...If I knew i could hit a 70 with such hurried preparation, i would've spend just a few more hours studying the subject. Nevertheless, I was hit by the Social Studies results. I managed only a 23/50.
I hoped my A-maths will get me a A2. I hit a 45/80 for the first paper, so i have to get 67/80 to pull off a A2 overall. I have confidence. Yah!
I observed and thought for a while in class. Why is it that everyone in the class is doing so badly in SS only after the mid-yr exams? This is questionable. The humanities HOD should think abt it. I know they cannot really do much to help but moderation of the marks will be good though. I just don't get it. No matter how hard i tried to write well, the marks were just below average. It's not that I changed the way i write, nor is it that i didn't understand the different topics in SS. Now I only hope that I can get over this and move on.
This is fate. I can't change it.
I seriously suspect the experience of the teacher who marked our structured-essay questions. I noticed on Adeline's paper, there were comments like, "Not linked" or something. I saw two of the same comments on a single question, and is striked off. I looked at Finian's paper, it was also the same. Have you seen a marker writing a comment and striking it off? Not on a single student's paper only. Obviously the marker does not understand the marking scheme, or prolly she doesn't know how a perfectly well-written answer looks like. Yeah this marker of our SS paper differed slightly from the strict Miss Leong. This time the marker simply gives you the red ink when she spots a small bit of inacurracy, broken links, and unsupported examples. I've seen many comments like "Not well-supported" and "not well-explained". This is only a 1hr30mins paper ok!? You think we're writing a real essay? We are doing the questions based on our knowledge, no english writing skills."Not well-supported" and "not well-explained" doesn't mean that it is not " and not ". If the whole of 4e1 took the exams and none scored more than 10 marks for any of the 12 or 13marks questions, will other class do well? If really it is the latter, then the marker is biased against the "top" class.
Now I'm leaving behind everything. I'm preparing for the big O's. 5 weeks is all i got. Critical. I will learn my mistake of revising struggling at the last moment.

Yawnzz.. I slept so much, because I played too much this weekend ! I really deserved some rest and games after the tiring prelim exams. -phew!-
I played and slept and " and ".Downloaded Dogdeball from the net. It was a whooping 829mb and i was like -.-" when it just started at a low speed. But then the speed picked up and the highest I saw was 80 kbps :)
Gd pts of being a pirate:
1. Can watch movies for free(unless u count the electricity used to on the comp to d/l the movie from the net)
2. Free music
3. Can get most of the media that you can't find in stores; like old songs, exclusive shows
2.All the good points of watching a vcd
Bad pts:
1. Each movie takes up at least 700mb of disk space, for me in this case.
2.Minor risk of getting caught.
Ah.. better stop here about piracy, in case Bill Gates is standing behind all the while?!?!
High Jump:
If you check Stefan Holm's website, you will find out a shocking fact. He has won every competition he went to, including the Athens Olympics. Great isn't he? Just like a real superman in the high jump world.
Studies:
I figured I still can't get rid of my habit of doing things at the last minute. Any solns to help me?
And kindly help me think of a way to make me endure the hours sitting in my room revising my work. My butt just can't stick to the seat!

! OMG OMG OMG !
Hear this. I played a game called Ask Guru Joe in miniclips.com. The game is just a kinda of divination game, you just ask a yes-no qn and the guru will reply.
I typed afew kinds of questions, then I typed the following questions
1. Can I get into ACJC?
*The answer it gave was "The outlook is grim"
2. Can I get into JJC?
* "The arrow points to...yes"
3. Can I get into HCJC?
* Guess what the answer was? "In your dreams"
HOLY COW!

If you ask me what is the best movie of the year now, I'll firmly say it's the one filmed in the airport-The Terminal. I am so touched by the movie. Everything in it is so well connected and it really puts me into the shoes of the main character acted by Tom Hanks.
New update on high jump:
I emailed US high jumper Matt Hemingway who won a silver at the Athens Olympics and he replied my mail! Now I'm am deciding what to write to another US national high jumper, Jamie Nieto. This is so cool. I'm actually talking to celebrities of the sports world !(if not in their respective countries)
*A million thanks to the founder of Internet and Hotmail.

I couldn't find all those practical test papers i did in the past. Only relied on my sis's prelims practical test to revise..Suay..
Bad start for prelims... My behaviour made myself more nerve-wrecking. First day for prelims, the examination was @ 8.00 am sharp. I thought I simply need to reach school before 8am, but I didn't take notice the instruction given at the back page of the green exam schedule sheet. Shit.. Second day-today I took a bus which i waited very long for to school. I knew the bus will reach school merely before the morning assembly or worse after the time(after 4 years of taking e same bus, i knew i was trying my luck early in the morning)
Then in the parade sq Mr Charlie T came to my class to search for the one who didn't take the NAPFA test. Me la..who else.. He approached me and told me the time, which is on this friday, right in the middle of my prelims! Mr Tan asked for my 2.4km run/walk timing and i told him nonchalantly, 12mins. Gotcha! I have never run a 12min before, and the closest was only 12min 31sec hehe......
C'mon! I haven't did any muscle-toning exercises since b4 the mid-year exams. All these months the toughest thing i did was playing badminton for full 3hrs with zhao qing and co. My muscles all go jelly-like liao...Pull-ups? I'll just hang as long as i can up at the bar. Other things still can pass with a C.My fitness level is at the declining stage
P.S: Rach don't laugh @ me if i can't do a single pull-up lol....

I got a new connection line on friday! 1500kbps, wireless network in my house! 2 PCs, 2 laptops in action. I had this weird sight of life this week, just before the prelims... My mind just can't seems to settle down well for any work... Maybe I wasn't interested in some of the subjects or perhaps I wasn't used to get so worked up to study... I was still fine in the beginning of the week, when I was studying really fine for my Chemistry.
~~>Shaun Kok
Thnx for giving me so much info and help in getting a place into ACJC. I really have no idea how will i perform in my prelims. Shaun's got real good offer for me; like he's the spokesman for registration in ACJC lolx...
~~>PeiJing
Thnx for discussing some critical matters with me...Hope i didn't bother you too much?~? ^.*
Oh, the new wireless network seems to restrict me from acessing Staffan's homepage. I'll do some DIY tweaking on the server to make things work. I was d/l "The Terminal" halfway 114/700 mb and when i wanted to continue the next day the link wasn't working. ~~~Weird some times~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I spotted something new again between the rach-biwen Cold War. First rach removed biwen from her links, followed by biwen doing the same...Hope they'll soon realise they smashed a unique friendship. I won't interfere though(not that it can't be bothered!) but i'm not that close to both of them. *A million sighs* for the end of their friendship... Or it hasn't ended at all? *Bangs head with knuckles*
I'm having Olympics fever. stayed overnight too many times lol... To me that's why the Olympics rocks, because it gives you FEVER!! ArGGHHaha!

Staffan Strand didn't qualify for the High Jump event! I'm not really surprised about that, because he had a surgery early this year and tried his best to improve before the Games.
I am still going to watch the finals, because his good friend Stefan Holm has been qualified and I want to witness his victory. He's going to win, I'm betting huge on him lol... He was ranked 1st during the qualification round yesterday.
STEFAN! WIN THE FIRST GOLD MEDAL FOR SWEDEN!
I suppose Sweden is one of the european countries without a medal yet...

Hey! Faster, cleaner webpage! I don't like the empty space beside the pic, but i dunno how to push the pic to e middle also...
B3 for chi o lvls leh... I didn't feel anything about this grade. Maybe I just didn't take the whole O lvls seriously. Why have so much fear, sadness and anxiety abt the exams? You don't need them to be a millionaire nor need them just to make yourself happy, let your parents happy because they like counting As in your report book?
C'mon! Often i ask myself why i have to learn meaningless subjects, like social studies? All those things are not relevant to me later in my life...
Take the extreme for example: Liu Yun
He does so much work and I think he finds joy and happiness in doing them!
Look at my class 4e1... So dry...Everyone's so dull except some like Stanley and Junwei. Dynamic is the word here. They know how to crack jokes and how to find entertainment in the midst of all the paperwork we receive.
Special Sports News Report:
Staffan my idol hit 2.30m in a competition recently, trailing Stefan Holm behind his top position.
I really hope both of them will do their best at the Athens Olympics 2004.

Note: Start reading from the 5th paragraph onwards for the essencec of this blog entry.
Hey ppl it's me again! How yer doin'? I had a war of feelings over the week.
Let me describe what exactly happened during the last day of the 45th National Schools Track And Field. The night before Sarah informed me abt it and I was huh?!? I did not run anything in the big track n field competition and you want me to go? I was feeling that way coz i felt rather isolated from the sch's track team at this point of the time. I haven't been training with them for like 3mths.
But the angel in my mind told me, "You should and must go! If you don't even go to National Stadium to support your fellow teammates, you aren't a good tracker anymore!" The devil was defending itself by saying that if I go, how will the other track members there feel about me? I gave myself some time to think over the night and "steadily" agreed to xiangying the next morning and go with the track members. Moreover, the ones running on that finals day were my best buddies. Namely, Yuk Lung aka Ah long, Zhen Huang, Benedict aka Dict or Ben, and Nadzri aka Nad.
So I stepped out of the classroom by 11.40am and reached the car porch to meet up with track members of the school. Xiangying told me that there'll be boys around. I only saw Gentle Giant sitting at a bench alone himself. GG is Isaac. Ok that's bad for me... I never liked going anywhere with lotsa girls around me lol. I haven't jalan with the girls and ppl for a long long time.. I didn't click with them well. That's my personality-shy? That's fine with me i can just walk beside them and..keep silent?lol.. I h8 going out with the track girls. They always have a chain-like connection. When tracy asked where to go for lunch. None of us could decide.. Then the girls will look at each other.That's what they do and nothing is yet decided...Finally they ssssssttttttrrrrroolllleed (so damn slow sia) out of the school gate and we took a bus to Clementi. Again the girls took their sweet time deciding where to eat. Someone said either Mac or hawker centre. So the whole track gang walked to the hawker C. to eat. Now another problem. Suddenly half excused themselves from eating. Some said they just ate, others simply said they're not eating.
A number of us settled down on one long table. Me, Gina, Shan, Loh Ying, Isaac, Fang Yi, Tracy and Kiki i guessed. I was the last to finish my food and what? Isaac disappeared and Gina told me he went with the rest to Mac! What De... Things went faster from now. The Clementi MRT station was our next destination. Missed one train and caught the second one to meet up with Farjar in the train. Bhoo~Hoo~~ The train sets off all the way to Lavender. Bus 16 was already stopping by the bus stop when we climbed out of the underground station.
Moments later the enormous National Stadium was just in front us. With Isaac's instinct as the compass, we three guys led the group to where Mr Tham and the competitor were. I didn't greet Mr Tham, cuz u know i haven't talked to him for so long. Out of a sudden Isaac said the place we sat is actually Cedar Girls' territory.. He remembers tat sch sitting here last year. Mr Tham wasn't concerned about that. He had the heck-care attitude to such things because he thinks there's no such rules as where schools can sit or not.. True enough, a teacher from Cedar Girls came over and commanded us to leave our seats and find another place.. Then we tried to sit behind err NYGH before we're asked to leave.. Lucky Mr Tham's friend(a coach as well) from
NYGH came over and offered us a place in front of them. We thought we can really rest ourselves although it was not under the shelter unlike the first place we occupied..
Then one of the worst situation came to us... "Sorry this place is reserved for Hwa Chong Junior College, can you please leave this place?" a student came from nowhere and shouted at us. Our track members were starting to stand up when Mr Tham angrily barked, "SIT DOWN!"He was so cool....Like a trial boss, we track members are the gang members hehe..Mr Tham fired back, arguing that there's no such things as reserved or booked areas. We can sit anywhere we like.. The students from Hwa Chong and Mr Tham talked for a while before the Nan Yang Girls' coach(quite a plump one) intervened the negotiation. I overheard some of the sentences the NYGH coach and Mr Tham said. A female HCJC student said," We came here at 5am in the morning and booked this place by marking the spot by placing our flags" Mr Tham retorted," So what if you came here at 5am?" The NYGH coach was fiercer in his words," Hey let me tell you this, there is no such rules of booking the place unless it passed down by the parliament. Unless these rules are set by the organiser, they are not valid. At one time i faced Farjar and told him," Farjar, these people study so much and still they are,so selfish,unreasonable?" Don't you ppl think so? Although we sat on 3 rows, the HCJC ppl could have asked us to sit on one single long row and we will only occupy a tiny part of their "booked territory". A thought suddenly flashed through my troubled mind. OMG...if i get into that jc, will i be as unreasonable as them? The Nan Yang girls themselves already occupied around 5 rows of the HCJC's so-called territory. Yet the jc students didn't even said anything.
You know what i am trying to stress here?!??!!?!? We are looked down by other schools! Our numbers there were merely 20! St Nicholas Girls, SJI, Chinese High and NJC count their numbers by the hundreds.Other top schools have no respect for Tanglin!!!
Then Mr Tham gave up and said, "Nevermind, we'll move somewhere else. I want to see how many more schools will chase us away" We marched our way across the grandstand(under the shelter), passing through Chinese High's horde, NJC then CHIJ Toa Payoh. Yay we found an empty space! The Millenia Institute ppl was semi-spreaded but there was still ample space for us.AHH~ We all heaved a sign of relief when the VJC didn't cared when we took a place behind them.
FAST FORWARD. Nadzri went off for his 100m finals. We were all excited and nervous for him! I never felt like this,supporting a close friend in his event. My eyes zoomed in at him like a tele-camera and focused on the first lane. BANG! Nadzri blasted off from his blocks and sprinted with all his strength. He didn't won the top 3 positions, but I am still very very proud of him because he has made this far to the finals and tried his best. Next was that tragic 4x400 event. We waited so long that we got drenched 2 times by the unexpected rain. First time we went through the exit to seek shelter, then came out to watch the running events. Again the rain came but we were smart to get packed fast and hide.
4x400m was next. Zhen Huang was ready at the starting blocks. Off he GOES! He was last when he passed the baton to Yuk Long and he tried to chase the group ahead. Yes! He slowly caught up with the runner in front and overtook afew when he curved in to the last 100m. Benedict was lining up last at the finishing mark with other 3rd runners to receive their batons. Although Yuk Long was 3rd when he reached the receiving runners, bendict was lined last. So benedict wanted to cut the queue and get the baton as ah long was the next coming in. There was a small confusion around and benedict grabbed the baton and went off,4th in position now. A St Patrick guy was just in front of him, so near that it seemed Ben was trailing behind him. I quickly commented that to Farjar,"Eh, Ben's blocked by that guy!" In just a split-second after i turned my eyes away from farjar and focused on Ben, he slipped off and fell into a sitting position. His baton flew at least 3 lanes right of him. But he quickly recovered and took the baton and carried on the race. Now TSS is last.Kaini was covering her mouth with both hands and gina on her shoulders...Everyone was ghastly shocked!
It's over... We lost... I was so devastated! I can feel how the 4 of them felt... It would be hell for them inside their hearts, but they just can't vent their angry in any way they want. Imagine studying hard many months for the O levels and yet you can't get a decent grade. All your efforts have been wasted by a small incident.. In chinese you called it "GONG KUI YI KUI"
Hey ppl it's me again! How yer doin'? I had a war of feelings over the week.
Let me describe what exactly happened during the last day of the 45th National Schools Track And Field. The night before Sarah informed me abt it and I was huh?!? I did not run anything in the big track n field competition and you want me to go? I was feeling that way coz i felt rather isolated from the sch's track team at this point of the time. I haven't been training with them for like 3mths.
But the angel in my mind told me, "You should and must go! If you don't even go to National Stadium to support your fellow teammates, you aren't a good tracker anymore!" The devil was defending itself by saying that if I go, how will the other track members there feel about me? I gave myself some time to think over the night and "steadily" agreed to xiangying the next morning and go with the track members. Moreover, the ones running on that finals day were my best buddies. Namely, Yuk Lung aka Ah long, Zhen Huang, Benedict aka Dict or Ben, and Nadzri aka Nad.
So I stepped out of the classroom by 11.40am and reached the car porch to meet up with track members of the school. Xiangying told me that there'll be boys around. I only saw Gentle Giant sitting at a bench alone himself. GG is Isaac. Ok that's bad for me... I never liked going anywhere with lotsa girls around me lol. I haven't jalan with the girls and ppl for a long long time.. I didn't click with them well. That's my personality-shy? That's fine with me i can just walk beside them and..keep silent?lol.. I h8 going out with the track girls. They always have a chain-like connection. When tracy asked where to go for lunch. None of us could decide.. Then the girls will look at each other.That's what they do and nothing is yet decided...Finally they ssssssttttttrrrrroolllleed (so damn slow sia) out of the school gate and we took a bus to Clementi. Again the girls took their sweet time deciding where to eat. Someone said either Mac or hawker centre. So the whole track gang walked to the hawker C. to eat. Now another problem. Suddenly half excused themselves from eating. Some said they just ate, others simply said they're not eating.
A number of us settled down on one long table. Me, Gina, Shan, Loh Ying, Isaac, Fang Yi, Tracy and Kiki i guessed. I was the last to finish my food and what? Isaac disappeared and Gina told me he went with the rest to Mac! What De... Things went faster from now. The Clementi MRT station was our next destination. Missed one train and caught the second one to meet up with Farjar in the train. Bhoo~Hoo~~ The train sets off all the way to Lavender.

I've been doing loads of homework these few weeks. There's no ending at all! I don't really feel I'm going to spend my youthful days poring over the papers. I thought I could use this weekend to finish up my work... But guess who's at the computer again? I started to play quite a bit of GB. I have the full-suit now, or maybe that's what I think. Chief Hair, Robot X, Gold Armor, Pet 01.
Maybe i'll stick to my usual entertainment plan. "What plan?" is probably what you'll say uh-huh! It's pretty simple. After i get home from school, i'll settle down a bit and relax. That will be at around 4pm. THEN IT IS "F.R.I.E.N.D.S" TIME !!! My sis's bf d/l and burned so much episodes that i can watch them one a day for a month. Yes. One friends episode will keep me going. Those 6 lead characters are so hilarious and have great personality. I tried to speak the way each of the 3 guys do, but I couldn' t because I wasn't experienced enough and didn't have their looks. `AhahA` The one thing that i don't like about them now is that they have grown old! I'm now watching the burned epics of season 3. Now channel 5 shows season 10(Year 10). They aren't so energetic as before and their aging faces were unable to make damn damn damn funny expressions.
I'll tell you in each blog entry what i like about one character in the show.
Now i'll comment on Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing in the show.Yes he is the one that is in the new movie The Whole Ten Yards.
There was once in an episode a person named Russ(date of Rachel) who looked exactly like Ross(David Schwimmer). He went behind Chandler and said hi. Chandler thought he was his friend, Ross. So he said, "Hi RosS-PAA!!!" He was so shocked !!! And it was very funny.

Spira. Once upon a time it was a world of prosperity, sustained by an advanced civilization of machina.
Then, one thousand years ago, Sin came. This immortal menace brought perennial destruction to the land and slowed advances to civilization. The teachings of Yevon offered solace to Spira’s terrified people, but also forbade the use of machina. Still, most people were willing to sacrifice progress for a sense of security, and civilization eventually came to a standstill.
Summoners emerged as Spira’s only hope. They alone were able to stop Sin—if only for a little while.
On the day she becomes a summoner, Yuna, a girl of seventeen, meets him. The young man claims to have come from Zanarkand, though that city was supposedly destroyed a thousand years earlier.
Hearing his claim, Yuna knows this is no chance encounter. Her father, Braska, was a summoner before her. Jecht, a man who served as his guardian, also claimed to have come from Zanarkand.
The next day, Yuna and her own guardians—Kimahri, Wakka, and Lulu—set out on a journey to defeat Sin.
He comes along, too, and before long he becomes one of Yuna’s guardians. Others join them: a man named Auron who guarded Braska and an Al Bhed girl named Rikku. The pilgrimage continues.
Yuna and her entourage witness much. Operation Mi’ihen is launched in an attempt to stop Sin with machina, but it fails. Seymour Guado, a maester of Yevon, reveals machinations of his own. Finally, Yuna and company arrive at their destination, the sacred ruins of Zanarkand. It is here that they were to learn the one and only way to defeat Sin: the Final Summoning.
But Yuna learns something entirely different. Sin cannot be truly destroyed using the Final Summoning. Not now, not ever. Rikku’s father, Cid, takes Yuna and her friends aboard his airship. They begin a new journey, this time in search of another way to destroy Sin. After uncovering the truths and fallacies behind Sin and the teachings of Yevon, they finally succeed in vanquishing Sin.
However, that victory meant he would vanish.
A heavy price is paid, but Spira finds peace and freedom from the terror of Sin at last.
Filled with the many memories of her journey, Yuna speaks to the people of Spira:“The people and the friends we have lost, or the dreams that have faded... Never forget them.”
Two years have passed since Sin was destroyed.
Since defeating Sin and becoming high summoner, Yuna has lived on her childhood home of Besaid Island, and the predictable days pass by one after another.
Isn’t this simple happiness what she always wanted? Still, Yuna senses something is missing...
Then, one day, her former guardian Rikku comes to Besaid and shows Yuna a movie sphere.
The recording is of him.
Or is it? Yuna can’t tell whether it’s him or just someone who looks like him.
“Let’s go look for more clues!” The voice is Rikku’s.
If it is him, Yuna might be able to see him one more time.
If not, Yuna will probably never see him again.
No matter what the truth may be, the answers she finds may change things forever.
Yuna begins another journey.

eek! who's that "find me if you can" who posted a meaningless message on my tagboard? Dun care anymore about that. I will be as tough as gold, after a good 10 years i will still be the same. I will be black horse of the race(Seabiscuit), like a 10000m runner who came from the back and overtook the leading runner to clinch his Olympic Gold!

barbecue at West Coast Park yesterday! So (not) FUn! Why? The guys who went were all those "hum zi" guys. Maybe they were just shy infront of the 10-odd girls who went too. I just don't know why they so "hum ji". Lynn gathered us to play some wacko games but they just excused themselves by saying ," We go toilet first" And Patricia..Thanks for your constant reminder that I was saying the word barbecue wrongly
Liu Yun and me was in the middle between the grp of girls and those boys who was walking away. I looked at liu yun and he looked back, dunno what to do. So we went to the rock bay for a while and returned to the barbecue pit. Those jerks still not back yet lol. Liu yun also as bad as the other guys. He said about deciding whether to pay for the food($7) and yong zen keep saying, "I'll leave once Gary comes and pass me the Condition Zero" Condition Zero's a game anyway. Finian, the organizer of the whole thing, also didn't want to play games with the girls. Me leh? Not good either...The plaster the doc sticked on my elbow was on the verge of falling off. I was afraid of a possible infection so i rejected the girls while I... held on to my plaster hah. Still that white plaster fell off when i was kicking soccer with the boys.Barefooted you know? Before that some ppl were having some fun activites on the field. Something that seemed like a mixture of egg yolk and white were on the field. I stepped afew times on those!
Alright. Speaking of the actual barbecuing, it was devastated by the girls! half a box of fire starters were gone when we boys returned to the pit. First Jiayi and Finian took over. Not doing that great as well. Then Yong Zen came to help. He was pretty good at fire-making! Finian on the other hand, started to set up a bunch of charcoals and lit a fire starter in it. His one was burning well, but those charcoals weren't burning! All i could see was the fire starter holding on to its flame, surrounded by lots of charcoal.
He occasionally barked funnily, "No! I will not use paper" He said that because Yong Zen was using paper to help get his charcoal bush burning. Lol once i replied when Finian said that, "Hello? You're not fighting a war!" Finian's voice was a commanding and so hilarious. Oh, the girls started making the fire at 4pm plus and finally something was put onto the netted pit, not before 6pm!
All the girls stood near the pit doing their barbecuing. We guys? Played Tai-Di(Big2) on a pinic mat till it was so dark that i complained that i couldn't see my cards well.I gulped down so much soft drinks and Yuan Jun said he did too. The first course of the barbecue was sticks of (Hotdog, Fishball,Crabmeat 3in1). Next was satay!Really really delicious ones!There was once i went to the pitt and Lynn asked me to try an Otah to see whether it's cooked. She kept scaring me that Patricia ate one last time and couldn't go for band practice for following whole week!
There were marinated chicken wings. Yummy. But i didn't had any! Chicken wings didn't appear till it was almost 9pm! We didn't buy any metal barbecue sticks to use with the wings. And it was so bored! No music. Nothing entertaining.Yong Zen, aiyo. He started a small fire on the grass patch and started to barbecue there! So many things were thrown into the charcoal that started the fire! Plastic snack bags,satay sticks. Yikes.Barbecue is already quite bad for health and yong zen's way of barbecuing was even more harmful for the body. My stomach was so bloated with soft drinks that i decided to go home early. Lynn's dad was coming to fetch her home so I took a free ride home yay!

The Statue
A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door.
"Hurry!" she said. "Stand in the corner." She quickly rubbed baby oil all over him and then she dusted him with talcum powder. "Don't move until I tell you to," she whispered. "Just pretend you're a statue."
"What's this honey?" the husband inquired as he entered the room.
"Oh, its just a statue," she replied nonchalantly. "The Smiths bought one for their bedroom. I liked it so much, I got one for us too."
No more was said about the statue, not even later that night when they went to sleep. Around two in the morning the husband got out of bed, went to the kitchen and returned a while later with a sandwich and a glass of milk. "Here," he said to the 'statue', "eat something. I stood like an idiot at the Smith's for three days and nobody offered me so much as a glass of water.

MONEY SAVING PLAN
July- save $50
August- $50 also
September- $50 again
October- $50
November- $100 (save more, no time to spend just before exams)
And the above savings plus the $150 i have now equals $450. The undisputed leader in my wishlist is PS2 a.k.a Playstation 2.
P.S I've been thinking of buying ps2 for a long x2 time, since it came into the market and had a try in it shortly after at my err..neighbour's shop in M'sia. Lol I forgot I tried the ps2 in his house or at the shop. I was thinking of buying okay? But you know me, only did things in the head and not make it a reality. So this time i'll try to stay low-profile 4 the rest of the year.
Not going out will mean 2 things. 1- save money that would be otherwise spent during outings. 2- I will have more time to study at home and more conc. in revising for the Big'O levels.
One more thing! Anywhere i can buy cheap original/pirated ps2 games?i'll be robbing the bank if i am buy all those ps2 games costing above 50 big bucks each.
By the way, i can't edit my template on my computer.Once i edit the html codes and pressed either "preview" or "save changes" , the IE page just disappear before my eyes. Just like this. Here is it. A hint for my next template. My new name is Joey Tribiani.

Messy day. went to skool in da morning to hand in practical tests' plans.Mr Chan's one was so hard to do! First I follow one person's plan, then edited mine and copied another person's plan. Finally I settled on Mr Chan's plan. He was a "goal-post changing" man. First approved this plan.Moments later say that another one is better. But at least he told us the plan quite clearly. If not I won't forgive him for getting me cooped up in the souless skool. Saw...errr?...ah!..adeline from netball team. I almost couldn't recognise her.Like she did a face-off surgery. She didn't looked more ugly. I saw Mr Tham having his breakfast in the canteen while I was there discussing with my friends about the work on hand. He beamed in my eyes and I gave a quick ignorant look and turn to my friends.I don't think I should do this eh. Better don't talk to him when it's no neccessary lah.
Finian came 2 my house later on..Played a few comp games. He was full of energy to exclaim on the game/s.Energetic guy.Only on games,women and studies.Nothing else in particular then haha.
Later in the day I was late to train at ntu(4pm). Nevermind.My net-friend will train on his own even if I'm not going.Once he set up the bar, he was trying to clear 1.75m.Struggling so hard to do it. For me,in terms of height clearance, I am still in square 1. He told me not to conc. on clearing the bar, but to spend more time on practising the curved run-up.So hard to get the actual feeling. Hey,I got some feeling though. I felt some pain in the biggest toe on my left leg.Prolly strained it. Maybe I'll go support him and the skool's track ppl at the Swift Meet. Maybe I will take his advice to join WINGS club.
Don't worry people.Training under Mr Tham seems to give me a high level of pressure. Don't know why.I can never jump properly when Mr Tham is watching by the side. I will do what I need to jump higher and reach the sky!

Sad, bereaved, bitter, blue, cheerless, dejected, depressed, despairing, despondent, disconsolate, dismal, distressed, doleful, down, downcast, forlorn, gloomy, glum, grief-stricken, grieved, heartbroken, heartsick, heavy-hearted, hurting, in doldrums, in grief, languishing, low, low-spirited, lugubrious, melancholy, morbid, morose, mournful, pensive, pessimistic, somber, sorrowful, sorry, troubled, weeping, wistful, woebegone.
The above words express how I feel now. Nothing to do with the upcoming Chinese O'lvl.
This afternoon I went for the track training. We settled down in the gym and Mr Tham gave his instructions for training in June holi's. While he was talking, I asked the upper sec trackers beside me about my event in the Nationals. No one could tell me. Zhen Huang suggested to me that I should ask Benedict personally myself because he registered the athletes' names for the Nationals.That was done prolly during this week or the one before. I asked him," Ben!... What's my event for Nationals? 400m hurdles?" He turned his attention to me and replied,"No, you don't have any," My world was crashing down hard on me. I didn't bothered to ask him why I didn't have 400m hurdles event in the Nationals nor I asked Mr Tham why. I didn't dare. At that point of time, I was feeling,"Fine!Don't let me join the Nationals? Forget it. I need not come for training in the June holidays as well. Hmph!" I didn't dare to accept any reason that Mr Tham will tell me for doing this to me. I laid on the blue mattress for quite a while, waiting and hoping that Mr Tham will notice me and tell me something, anything...
I'm not running any event/s in the Nationals? Okay. I'll accept this harsh fact.I'LL MAKE SURE I"M BETTER IN HIGH JUMP THAN BENEDICT IN HIS PET EVENT, OR ANYONE IN THE TANGLIN TRACK TEAM IN THEIR EVENT. I'LL BE BACK IN NEXT YEAR'S A DIV. CATERGORY.
I'm not blaming anyone. I can't, not that I don't want to.I can only blame myself for putting myself into such a situation. STUDIES OR CCA? I have to choose one. I've sacrificed so much time in cca that I nelgected my revision for mid-year examination. I guessed it will be the last time I call benedict and regard him as my cca's captain.

went to Mac at JP in da morning today. Got up from my bed at around 9.30 and went off at 9.40 or so. Rushed to the Mc-cafe with my sis to meet my relatives. Had a pleasant breakfast. Then when i stepped out of the Mc cafe guess who i SAW?! Mrs PegGy KoH! Her husband and prolly her maid and her children. She was easily recognisable. That bodyshape of hers...one of its kind la.."not implying it's bad" So i just went up to her and greeted her.Then i walked home solo cuz it's just too warm in the cafe. And da music the cafe played was rock music. So disruptive in the sunday morning!

what a day. fast day long day tired day for sure
First the chinese oral examination. Somehow by my instinct or what,i found Mr Ng at the last classroom. I know him well and he knows me just as well. The entire thing ended even before i realised it. It just happened too fast and smoothly. My mind didn't processed the fact that I am having oral test today...Not mentally ready.
Then I went to the Clementi Sports Hall for 3hrs of table tennis with guys in my class. I was the worst among them. I felt so ashamed that I couldn't even serve the ball. Had to seek help from the guy whom i never trusted but still learnt seriously from him(Jasper). I picked up the basic skills pretty fast. When i played with yong long i could see that he was far more tired than me- he had to pick up the fouled ball shots from me.Just then, I felt some 100M of HCL acid in my stomach. Really 2 hungry to play anymore.. It was 12+ when we left the hall and went separate ways back home. I kept track of the time. I had a meeting with a net-friend.
I met that net-fwen in GunBound. Incredible huh? He put his nickname as (.......)and he was the one whom i could approach for tips in high jumping. So I met him today at NTU.My first time to NTU...Didn't know where the bus i boarded will me to inside NTU.. My net-fwen gave my directions beforehand and I found him at the high jump pit in the Uni stadium. He was good. One word. Gave lots of tips on how to jump. It's like I have found a coach for high jump : ) That Tham no use one lah..Can only talk and run.
3 weeks didn't go for track liao.I still can clear 1.40m+ today.But only once or twice.Was too tired to jump higher.
P.S That guy is a MENG NAN.Macho and sports long hair n fringe. You know. Visualise and you know how he looks like.

Shan you were so cute this morNING.You glanced up high on your right, putting your right ?index? finger(that one beside the thumb?) on your cheek... I dunno why you did that for, but it catch my attention. Maybe you were trying to seek attention from the guys around yA? loL.
I tried a totally different method to do my compre paper today. I read one para, answered some qns and move on to the next para. and answered qns. I'm really really really(3x!) not sure whether this method will work for me.Since my other papers are not getting any As nor good Bs, might as well use this mid-yr to experiment on this method : ) One thing for sure, this method is faster for me to do compre today. I spent 40 mins before reaching the summary section. I was so satisfied with this result that I just finished the summary and rested,not knowing that i tied the papers together!

Oh GOd, forgive me for lurking in the net now, when i should be studying and revising for my exams like there's no tomorrow. If there's no tomorrow there won't be exams : ) OH please again, Finian stop your acting for goodness sake. During the geog paper, he was flicking his wrist so hard and with an expresion on the face so"unreal" after he finished a page-full qn. C'mon... No one will want to see you act when they are busy doing their work. I hate it...Just too much of a show put up by him.
There's something I really don't understand... Why does everyone need to discuss so seriously with their friends abt the paper that they have just finished? I don't see the need to...prolly except Maths papers when i want to exact ans. to some qns. I am always the one among the boys who stood in my chair after we are allowed to leave the examination room, while others were discussing seriously. What's done is done.That's the common phrase we hear. Why talk about the papers? It just makes me worst. I'd rather leave the school quick put the past behind me, in case it affects my mood for upcoming papers. This mid-yr exams i think i'm going to get stagnant results again.... getting similar results as in past years... hovering just below 70 in average score...... I wonder how my good net friends did in their papers. Biwen^rach^isaac^many others^and YOU shan.
LIFE JUST GETS WORSE WHEN A TEST IS COMING YOUR WAY.

Great and uneasy day on sat 24.irony? I had my first race since i joined track... lol.. talk abt bad side first. we the 3 hurdlers got scolded by tham cuz we didn't have enough time to warm up and get ready for our event at 2pm. We were given a number sticker to stick somewhere on our body so that the judges could recognise us. My number 3 sticker for heat 2 just won't stick well onto my reebok shorts. Just some fabric malfunction haHA. When it's my turn onto the track for my heats, i just ran through the first hurdles from the starting blocks as tham ORdered us to do so...He's right. We need to do this to ease our "starting" of the 400m hurdle event.
Ke Garisan.....SediyahHHH(dragged alot by the announcer)...BANG!BANG! It went twice because the runner on the third lane made the false start. Who was he from? Tanglin Secondary class 4e1. That was me....haha...My heart was pounding when a fierce-looking Indian lady flashed a yellow placard just in front of my blocks. I was speechless and got sooo shocked.. I didn't react much to that because I didn't want to let other runners know that I'm a newbie to races like this...So i just keep my cool and think like a runner is supposed to when he makes a false start. I knew Mr Tham would feel worry for me up there in the stand because this was my first time participating in such championships. And i knew if other runners or I make a false start he will be disqualified... The announcer said in a harsh tone, " Lane 3, please wait for the command. Last warning for lane 3 and final warning to all runners." I thought to myself for a while...If i can go through such mind-torturing experience, future oral examinations will be a breeze for me. Yeah, everyone has a fear. My fear somehow was oral exams...Dunno why.Just will tremble and get extreme nervous.
Lucky enough, it went smoothly. I was going for the 3rd hurdle when i saw a guy on my right slowing down and i overtook him. Totally elated. Then while curving in to the final 100m, I heard Peishi cheering for me on the left and i gave a quick glance at her. At the last few hurdles my speed had already drastically reduced and clearing each hurdle was a tough job. I placed last in my heats. Nevermind i told myself. The three of us was in the open event, where the runners are under 20. This means I'm competing with big boys like hwa chong jc, njc , chinese high and other good schools.You name it. I told zhen huang, "Why Tanglin is always the worst school in the track n field events(academically)??" This shows that Tanglin Sec has competency i guess...

Oh my... 6GB needed to install the FFXi. Too much investment of time, comp. space and part of my future(acad) in it. So nope I won't buy nor play it anytime soon. I can just admire the artwork and system of FFXi from the web haha. But for real, are the graphics that perfect as in the official website? It's really very clear and 3D you know!? Suprised to see that my comp's specs is above the recommended requirements. Oh come on, I'm not "suan-ing" biwen's comp lol -.-"

That day after e X-country run.I took bus 156 back to clementi with afew friends. Then when i was at 1bus stop b4 Chinese High's main gate, I saw something. Something that may not be significant to you but it is to me. From the left corner of my eye, I saw a blue high jump mattress. The image i saw was that there was no crossbar, but a swaying rubber tape stretched from one stand to the other. A mili-second later my eye caught sight of one tChs guy recovering from the impact of the landing, on the mattress. I told liu yun, " OMG!Look! So damn high!!!" Indeed, it was at least 1.9m without doubt. I felt so ashamed that I couldn't even do 1.5m. Liu Yun made my feelings worse when he questioned how good I am in high jump.Oh man... Am i done with high jump and on with 400m hurdles? My stamina can't even last me for a full 400m not even to mention with the hurdles. I really want to get back to high jump but tham doesn't really hope for that case.

I had a bad time training today!!! It is just like having training in the construction site!!! I was all the while in the gym. Then came one hard bang from the top. Followed by heavy drilling and loads of pounding! It was really TOO LOUD FOR MY EARS! When I stood just below the point where the pounding from the top was going on, I could feel my chest beating from inside. For like 2 hours it was continuous. Sometimes there was a short pause and I felt relieved for a moment. But even before I recovered from my frustration over the noise it started again. Tracy left and went home an hour earlier than me just because the noise has freaked her out.
O'lvl results? Naw... Nothing interested me except the list of names who got the most number of distinctions. 7 distinctions simply wowed me. I don't think that's a problem for liu yun or shuwen and others who really made great efforts in academic subjects. Jamas got 23pts, Mavis had 18, Eliz had 12 points!!! She told me that her english got A2!! That's attractive to me!!
I haven't finished my book. 40+ pages to go. I'll browse through them by the first strike of midnight. Eh? Sounds like Cinderella isn't it? Haha...

I need to do the geog homework online. So i might as well drop by here. No games for me! Even though Gary, Sicheng, Yeow Teck and Stanley are discussing gunbound everyday in school. I'll just purely check mails, blog hop and write blogs(It might just help in my english writing!) You may have seen me holding a classics around in school. That's because that library book is overdue by Sat. At the very moment, I still have around 80 pages to go! Will i make it to the last page? I'll tell you people here by tomorrow night. Tomorrow is the biggest day for Sec 4s. I'm definitely going to the hall to share the joy and misery with my seniors. I know that it is useless now, but i still hope everyone I i know in Sec 4 last year to get to the JC/Poly they want with their results tomorrow.
Training today was...aww i under-performed! I did hurdles again and this time I kept hitting hurdles down and my hurdling style was somehow horrible. But by the end of 10 runs through a set of 5 hurdles I knew where I went wrong. Then Mr Tham ordered me to do straight sprints/strides. 6 of them. Loh Ying was 10 metres headstart of me, where i had to run 80m. I didn't feel the drive in my legs at all. I wanted to go faster, but I couldn't get much faster.
-*-Rach~ Why is it that you don't respond to words of encouragement from me when you and Biwen leave the classroom for nball competitions? Only Biwen will utter a word or two. It's like what we learnt in Physics. Rach is like a wall(no pun intended) which reflects my words. So when she didn't respond, I heard the echoes of my words reflected by the "wall"

Went to NUS today in the morning, had the geog challenge 2004. Most of the questions were within my understanding and knowlege but i'm not confident in my answers though. The lecture hall we took our papers in was so protected in NUS. We went pass several blocks, then across an open-air cafeteria before we reached it. The presenter/person-in-charge spoke with a slang... It sounds like he is from china and speaks like germans.So cool! He just speaks different from any other.
After the challenge ended I took a direct bus to acjc for it's fair known as Funorama. It was really really crowded! I've not seen so a big group of people in one compound. Really makes me feel sick when I strolled into the college. I was really furious because I just can't find Junwei and company. I waited and waited, phones didn't linked due to busy network.Blah. I'm not grumbling about the enormous crowd that I can't find them, but just that I was tired after the geog challenge and the sight of seeing so many people walking in front of my eyes. Later Junwei told me to find him in the school hall, but,"Where the hell is the school hall!?!" Strangely, I found it after i bought a bowl of ice-kachang and searched the most possible areas. It was in a building nearest to the the car porch and I walked through a corridor, turned left and saw it. I was like, huh?? How come the hall is in here?!!??? Because normally school halls occupy the entire building, but acjc's hall is only maybe 3/4 of tanglin's one. Mr Leong gave me his $10 worth of coupons and I spent most of it on barbecued food because I was absolutely famished. Junwei and I sat by the stadium and he found a $2 coupon left by someone, and we bought 2 cans of CocaCola!
Haha the one I saw in acjc was really jonah... That guy really looks like him, but I didn't dare to allow myself to call the wrong person. I heard someone announcing that Poh Seng Song was going to perform a dance/sing a song or something. Yeah i recalled then that he was from acjc, just as "Miss Sg" teacher was.

WOw what a day! Miss Wong returned the assignments, graded and gave her comments. Almost all of my work had positive comments! It was really satisfying! I had a 21/30 for the first essay she asked us to do and a 9/10 for the short descriptive paragraph. Actually i didn't planned to get all these. As you know under the shadow of Miss Tang last year, she showered me more bad comments than good ones! From her i can tell that Miss Wong really takes the time to go through each piece of work seriously it does take ALOT of effort to comment on every homework we hand up! Maybe this is the turning point of my eng. subject. Miss Tang and Miss Wong is totally different lor... Tang strikes fear in everyone except for the ones confident in their english...I was one of those struck by her fearful flail.

eeeiii!Dict is going to run 400m at sports day! I'll have 1 more compettitor, atop of yuk lung n Nadzri...NO FEAR! i'll have secret training during weekends!If Tham can run fast during his school days and i bet i can better the 400m record of tsS or come close to it. The high jump record is way to HIGH!!!gonna take me ages to clear 1.80m la
Oh yes this tue there was hurdling in school field. There was one new girl which i'd classify as tomboy. She raised the hurdles to a very high height.Then she started hurdling...The more i watched her hurdle the more i want to laugh!She leapt over the hurdle with 2 legs,1 close behind the other.So her legs went over the hurdles SIDEWAy. She even told tham in an "action-style"way that she can jump over those hurdles..I really can't stand these juniors nowadays...All dont have shame and not humble at all....Just like Geraldine.
There was another small-build Malay girl who fell upon leaping over a hurdle.Tham said she could've sprained her ankle...She just looked too weak because everything is just so swift and she didn't fell badly...Unlike me...*sobbing* If you try falling forward straightly and using one fully stretched hand to support when hitting the ground, probably you will get a dislocated elbow like me :)
Today's lessons were fall moving and I just feel sleepy once each teacher steps out of the classroom. And my stomach rumbled so much when the assembly was nearing the end...Then had a stroke of pain in my head...I didn't brought my water bottle for the 2nd consecutive day.No water=headache+low concentration

I'm downcasted...Arghh all because of one stupid thing about me and people! U know who i think shanning is?Adeline from 3e3... because from the very beginning i thought i could match names with faces lol ..So i thought Adeline should be shanning..And moreover adeline looks like she is rather excellent in her eng as well! How stupid can i be!...*slaps n slaps myself^It all started when finian called adeline "aladdin" at the hall after recess... I was like... HUH!!??? But i just didn't want to make myself a fool infront of him.I hate him so boiling bloody much.
He dented my sigg bottle a few mornings ago this week... Even b4 i said anything, he argued back to me that yongzen spoiled his "brandless" metal bottle and blah blah...He didn't even said sorry lor...Wah kao that's not my bottle lor... I used that metallic green bottle because my sis wasn't using it recently...I really want to demand full compensation for the damage but he wouldn't care i guess because yongzen broke his bottle's cap and paid 2 bucks(his bottle costs at 2 for $12)
Something worse i had discovered about him today. JingHan(dunno what's the spelling) came to our class to borrow geog files for their upcoming geog lesson mah...Mr Leong didn't come to our class(had something on).Jinghan abruptly took onion's file in a rush and finian chased his file back.The worse thing is that he was so selfish!He actually said that his notes are priceless lah~......then said the other class has no notes to exchange for his file lah~..... I really want to shout at him,"As if your notes are that helpful/useful," maybe i should add,"Probably they(4e2 ppl) also cannot read your bullshit handwriting with lousy use of english!!!#@$#^#$^$#"
An unreasonable incident happened at the gym when i was told to leave the gym by Mr Tham. He told us that 60 teachers would be coming to the gym very soon and requested us to leave immediately...So i was idling around in the gym waiting for my friend-Isaac who was cleaning the trackmill...Then afew teachers came in...Mr Chan came in with a box half filled with bananas...haha..T
hen here comes the climax!Mrs Jacobs came stepped in and commanded"Alright boys get out of the gym.This is teachers' time to use the gym"Wai Hung(a thrower second to Isaac) was laughing crazily about what Mrs Jacobs right in front of her!!I was rather afraid cuz it's obvious wrong to laugh when the teacher is talking to us...But Mrs Jacobs was really ridiculous LOR!!!! Even Mr Chan,who i always think he is sacarstic and bad-tempered, didn't even scolded us a word...Go and think about it,if Mrs Jacobs is right to do such a thing....Who is she lah....No power,no say in the school...

Sha is really a great web designer and i'm just wondering who is he?
Luckily i'm down with a flu today, so i simply skipped track today in case of some implications if i did so. Next wed have SS test after school, friday have phy. test.
So grateful to eliz luei today. She passed me more than 2cm thick of notes and something so useless from the outside,but extremely precious in its content. i'll try to finish these notes b4 asking mr tham for rgs papers from her wife who is an educator as well in RGS.
Don't accuse me of being selfish. IF you want a copy of the notes, just inform me in my tagboard or ask me in school. maybe someone is already saying ,"Go dunk yourself in shit chao,who wants your notes...As if they are that good. " ? lolx maybe really someone will say that to me on monday... Nevertheless I'm just offering help to my graduating friends who visit my jumping den.

what a day...made me so sick...mrs koh said she will not talk about sex and stuff...but eventually she covered probably 3/4 of her experience in this sector of life. Dunno why her words today just doesn't attract me.Liu yun kept asking me what mrs koh is talking about...And i replied him with the same answer on 2 occasions,"Don't ask me!....I am not listening to what she said although i seem to be looking at the projection screen"
+I had a sore throat which gradually worsened as the day carried on..meanwhile i heard that mr chan told 4e2 that 2 person in my class had 19/40 for the last chem test we took.HIghest was 36/40.Hopefully not biwen or rachel baa...
Track training today was so simple,only 3 sets of weights to do.But i slightly increased the amount of weight per set so as to turn myself back to the original form. I found out something strange in me about school. Whenever after talking to my subject teachers in private, i tend to tell myself to work hard for that particular subject! Tell is different from really doing it, so that's why i am not that successful in my results ahahaa! Also i realised that I should not think that much about going to a particular JC or being able to outshine others in Nationals.In my point of view, starting to progress now towards my goals is better than daydreaming every single day about it,isn't it?

MY life is worsening. O levels this year and my mind is grabbing thoughts of games instead of revision. My cousin's academic state isn't going anywhere either! He's taking PSLE this yr yet he doesn't want to study... Yesterday he asked me if he could borrow my d2 game and install into his comp. He'd facing the comp. screen more than his books!

He does not let people take advantage of him at all too! For a simple illustration-whenever we have to present something to the class as a group,he always push the job of the presenter to others!Unless he didn't want to blow his top off for being the presenter lar.Then teacher angry mah@##@$^$%& I hope he gets in JC, and nobody lends him notes/etc at all lar knn...What a noob...dunno how to build relationship with others 1 #$^%$& Everyday go home so early dunno do what sia..must be enjoying pornography all the time.
okie enuff of that "semi siao bai nian"... School has been fine lately except that i got my name recorded down for staying in the classroom during recess. argh bad school policy larh!So pissed sia...Feel like suing tan puay puay and make him have early retirement man... MY A maths still have a quarter more left..very very tough sia. need concentration to do those qns..........HMm oh my arm still can't straighten out fully..I think it because the metal screw+wire is blocking my movement as i feel that bone aching but not the muscles leh...
Meanwhile leh, i'm wondering how all the seniors i know are doing now..esp. Farjar..Haven't hear from him for a long long time...He's cool in his language and very hilarious at the same time... Time's up i've to stop here now and get on with my loitering of blog sites of my good fwens liao.Then i'll do whatever i can tonite b4 i welcome the tiring Thursday!HAVe PE in the morning, Training around 2.30pm in that gym,home to us trackers!

had a rehab. appointment today at 9.35am. I got there at 10.05 cuz it's was heavy downpour and i dragged n dragged-didn't want to leave my cooling house.Tml still have to return a book borrowed with liu yun's card...Gunbound is so good...(ironically) Nowadays i can't win much enuff to at least make my day happy..So It's a sure thing that i'll stop playing everything under the singapore sun after 1st day of feb.Right in front of my eyes are plenty of games and an O levels certificate full of As. I'm going for the latter. I've played so much...all these years...time to get abit more serious.
Got to mug as much as possible to go to a reputable JC.

So i just have to wait till Sunday when i will go bai nian at Mr Ivan LEe's house with some other classmates n friends..
Abt angpows,i'll just wait for my relatives to return to singapore and let the red packets roll their way to me hehe..

Was an average school day.The lion dance's drumbeats are TOO repetitive! And dunno what benedict and his friend are doing...Keeps puking out mandarin skins and veggie.. I was rather surprise to find the 3 shorties of 4E2 to be part of the lion dance as well haha..Small sized lions with SHort legs~ Nothing special in this year's CNY celebrations except that TPE sang so "jalat" in the chinese song..Zhao Qing n me were laughing out loud with D sch. These rest of the performance were so boring...Plus shanning was directly infront of me and so restlessly as well...Made me feel the same as well...Z*~Z*~Z*~Z*~Z
SIngapore really doesn't have the festive mood for CNY...what can a local do? Travel around the country visiting relatives?watching celebrities dancing and singing merrily in the TV?What else?Gamble?Nothing to feel excited AT ALL!
But..! Hope everyone have a festive week!

DADA~~ Digital photos are far more better than the mainstream photos!Look at those 3 yandaos on the left...Although the 2nd one shaved his hair but still thousand times better than ppl like Charlie Tan/Tan Puay Eng/more to mention next time...Looking at Legolas makes me feel so bad..I have not watched LOTR 3rd part yet! Nevermind i'll go to the cinemas when the time is ripe. Maybe i'm not going afterall. SO weird watching LOTR myself lmao..Kk enjoy D pics as much as the upcoming lunar new year!Buy whatever u need with your money!

30mins more to go...@ 11pm it's Waterboys *excited^^ first time watching it. I have a big big question about high jump..That is, why great jumpers always jump from the right side-their left leg stronger-and not the other side?I've never come across someone who jumps very well from the left. I'm wondering if the Olympics have a left path for e high jump event? LoL i really have no idea..
But that's what i'm going to do this year-to jump from the left path. Why? Because the first time i tried high jump was from left path. And i clinched the record height that yr-dunno anyone broke it yet...hmmm*really nervous* N under the influence of the elite jumpers, i started to jump from the right path-which is really stupid cuz the last leg that lifts off the ground should be e stronger leg. In other words,i shldn't jump from right path cuz i will use my left leg to pull me over e bar...Make sense to u?nevermind,just to tell you that i waste my time jumping from the right path-senseless to do so..
I won't be blogging till CNY. Every year i will travel back to my hometown in Malaysia to celebrate CNY.But this year i "opted out" i dont feel well dangling my arm everywhere back there(Raub,Malaysia)... My cousins and relatives have gone back yesterday...Except my parents and my big sis... E whole "family tree" went back/planned to go back.Aha i'm finally going to enjoy the Singapore type of CNY... Although no fireworks for me*i can play all sorts of them in malaysia*afew years back my ancle bought those big fireworks that is used in NPD..It looks exactly like a rocket!
Okie time to get my chem things ready in front of TV now...cya

Haha i discovered something today...that Evanescence is actually somewhat sang by a woman...I always thought it's a guy cuz i saw the one mtv of Evanescence(can't remember what song that was) I saw a boyband in the building while a lady woke up and climbed up the walls of her block like spiderwoman. Almost everyone I know is now bothered by something...some had family problems...some got schooling uncertainties :/... I have overload of hw and lots of training to do on my legs and arm.
That friday i went to hosp. and stayed there for 5 hrs... most boring was at the rehab. centre where i did some physiotherapy...It was so sick there cuz that machine runs on a routine of levelling my hand up and down 10 degs(for 15mins)!!
If i want to use sports appeal to any jc, i have to get a placing in the final.And i have to start now. Last yr i met a guy in gb who was an excellent jumper of his time. From ACSi and got into hcjc with 12 pts(deducted to 10) by sports appeal. Oh my god was my response when he told me that. Tanglin has students going to top JCs, but chances of each of us are extremely slim. The reality lies in front of us. I dont mind getting into hcjc if i have a chance, but once inside i'll be thrashed by others in academics..Maybe the promotional exam for JC1 also flunk...That's the biggest worry for me in good JCs. Ok let me zap back to reality. First i'll stop playing every kinds of games b4 Feb comes. I really hope my batch in Tanglin will be the best ever since decades ago. Liu yun...pls bring Tanglin up to a higher tee-score.189 is really one of the worst..every year it is plunging.Let's see what tomorrow brings.
