The batam trip yesterday was superb. I slept on the ship going there and on the one coming back to singapore too hah...
My first experience in canoeing was great... I even saw tiny fishes below my canoe when I went out to the far edge of the cordoned area for swimming...I plucked 2 sea snails from the rocks and stuck them to my canoe hah...they moved quite fast with those miniature legs. One fell off my canoe while I was rowing back to shore.

I played pool, on a billards table and accuracy is like 20%. Even my white cueball jumps so easily...

In 24hrs time i'll will be on my way back to my hometown, more than 400km from singapore.
I can't leave my new interest, Naruto ! I'm bringing back a laptop to watch the dvds!

Don't Look Back In Anger
Oasis

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd once never been
All the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

So I'll start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I hear you say

Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
At least not today

I luuuV this template. It's neat and there isn't a specific theme that disturbs some people who visits.

Saturday morning heading to batam for family day from my dad's company.
Then sun/mon going back to m'sia to lay back my life.
I have some study plans with my 2 smart ex classmates after I get back to singapore.


New fave song.
Don't Look Back in Anger (by Oasis)
4.0/5

Comments: There are some lyrics similar to oasis's previous song Stop Crying Your Heart Out.
But this new song simply puts guitar to its best and makes out a smooth flow of words from the singer. I like the style of Oasis. He just drags his words like nobody's listening. It's purely a story he's singing, not a song. I first heard this in the cinemas, while waiting for Harry Potter and GOF to start.

3 baths today!

One before I went to school for training.
2nd when i came home(went out to ginza for some lan gaming)
another one when I got home again!

Harry Potter and the GOF movie is a must for me this year end holiday. I'm still amazed by the trailers from Quicktime, Apple. The graphics is so crisp that I think it'll beat the ones you'll see on the theater screen. Then again, credits goes to the moviemakers of HP and JKRowling. 3 movies have been produced from what came to JKR as a flash of thoughts on a train which brought her the idea of HP and his wonderful school of magic.
Watch the trailer. tHere's a funny part about harry in the High Definition clips.

My year 2006 is keeping my mind occupied every night. How high do I want to achieve next year? Then the next thing I thought was me jumping in school, trying to wow the JC1s and JC2 alike again... That's me...Always want to haolian... If you see me doing jumps in school, dun pay special attention to me whatsoever.

I'll pump up my basketball and play bball tmr to strengthen my jumping muscles. I haven't trained all holiday!

Project Work has FINALLY come to an end. Here in JJC, it takes up 2 or 3 hours of lesson each week, depending whether there's lecture on tuesday. The audience for my group's presentation were all from my class and they were really encouraging during that 30min of tensed up crapping. THANK YOU GUYS.

Next thing, the A lvls is here and i hope everyone I know from track and from JJC to do their best and don't bother about the results. Know that you've tried your utmost, that's good enough.

Neopets. With 3 million in bank and 1.5million in stocks, it was a success totally. I'm right. Playing stockmarket is a sure-win method to get millions. I've played this account for only around a year. Just buy stocks and wait for it to rise, then sell. I can buy a bungalow in Australia in no time!

I tried F.E.A.R online today and it's so addictive !
The online server lobby was straightforward and I quickly got into a game with players from all over the world without any trace of latency felt. Most of the maps were small and puzzle-like and very often I get fragged at 1v1 encounter.

My PW group rehearsed twice for the tutor and received lots of comments but I just can't apply from the comments...I think I need some time to redo my script.

Holiday tomorrow! Arh it feels so good to have a day off.

I pledge my fantasy and love for FFVIII !
This piece of music you hear now brings back lots of memories from the game I played on my computer like half a decade ago...
Sometimes I want to replay it, but everytime I thought of the long storyline, I decided to keep the game in my drawer instead lol...
For the case of FFX-2, hah, it's just too hard for me to play the game perfectly without going through the online Faqs...So i've decided to leave it in my CD folder for the time being...

Many notable events occurred over the last 48 hours.

Yesterday

I did my AO level Chinese paper! I did no touch one single assessment of anything to prepare for it and i got 2 of the 5 words correct for the first section, if you know what i'm talking about. I have no idea what result I will get in 4 months' time. But on a happier note, I went to Sim Lim Sq( 15 train stops from my house !) to buy 512mb RAM for my comp because it's too slow for a game i bought recently... Now it's totally playable although I had to settle for the lowest settings and also the worse graphics. The game is so horrifying because some unknown spirits walk around as I battle task forces plus the sucky graphics, it's making me sick in a way. But then it's still good in its gameplay, for it's the top rated FPS PC game now! F.E.A.R rips through me!

Dot dot DoT...While I went up to the MRt station I saw classmates Kent Soon, Yun Jie, John Ng and David Chua after they reportedly spent 2 hours in Jurong Point.
When I came back by train to Boon Lay something interesting happened. There was this guy walking quite speedy in front of me. His back view was totally like my old classmate Junwei. Got macho hands(my friend's in a damn xiong club) and wear frameless glasses. It is almost 100% like him except that guy is slightly higher than what Junwei is supposed to be now. And that guy has quite hairy legs :) I wanted to call out to him but I kept observing him until at the last bus berth I caught a glimpse of his cheek and ....no, not junwei! Heng arH!


Present
Lynn and gang came to my house for PW oral presentation practice and the 2 guys stayed put to play Winning Eleven 8 on my ps2. I won KH!!! At least avenged John who lost every single match to him... tt's all. TMr still got maths lecture early in da morning and oral presentation accessed by my teacher.

This week started verly solemnly for me, because I attended the first funeral of my life. That sunday, I went home with lots of sad thoughts and nothing else but scary thoughts of dying the next moment. Up till today(4 days already), I still can't sleep well ! Because I feel that life is really not fair. You do alot of good things and you still die young. What's the problem with God?

I guess, how long you live is all pre-destined. Just what are the chances to die suddenly man... For now, I hope everyone will treasure every moment you live by, because you never know when you'll leave everything behind. His death was most abrupt and unfortunate. It is still a hard blow to me when I saw the evening news reveal the death of my close relative. I was just totally transfixed.

In loving memory of my aunt's husband, the good father who unfortunately died during his well-prepared triathlon competition last saturday.

PS: What happens to us when we die? I get a leap off my heart whenever I tell myself that I will die one day! It's just so horrifying. If only a dead person would tell me in my dreams. Really, I'm timid and scared of things I don't know of.

I MUST POST THIS!

Major error in our 7pm drama, Tong Xin Yuan, Oct 21st episode.
There was a scene in the shopping mall, which is Jurong Point btw, and Dayang was carrying Baobei down the escalator and running towards the camera on a corridor.

The thing is... Dayang and Baobei was on the third floor before Dayang carried her down the escalator. But the next scene on them running was also on the third floor! MUAHAHAAHAAA
I know Jurong Point like the back of my ass.

Shame on Singapore directors. Shame.

It was a blown-away day in school. Every single lesson, I have to excuse myself into e washroom and blow the phlegm out of my nose... It seems like the phlegm reproduces itself whenever I tried to clear it. At one point during the first lesson, I was made breathless because I couldn't breathe through my nose.

PW: Cho0 nv come to sch again...Had a lame excuse for it but our group will easily be the worse in the class if this goes on. I brought laptop to sch which proved to be a mean feat because it's damn heavy. HaHHA, we joked about Shaun being a suicide bomber because his laptop/sch bag was so much of a box on his back. I passed Denise's Friends season 9 to him even before I watched the last disc in sch. Shaun and some guys were laughing each other's ass off when they saw the first episode of that. Simply blown away by the un-Maths inclined Joey Tribbiani especially.

I wonder how many ppl will turn up for school tomorrow. Last week lynn suggested going Sentosa on this tuesday. Anyway it doesn't bother me! Because I'm to going to sch for an eventful day complete with training!

I rate Renovate My Family as the best tv show ever that helps rebuild lives, after watching it yesterday for the first time.

There's this Blankenship family in the US having lost their house and their dog to a fire and it was the worst of their days. Finally the show chose them to "renovate their family" and here's happened. First the family was taken to a lake resort to spend some enjoyable moments since their house was devastated. As much as I know from that episode, the crew brought demolished the old house and constructed a brand new one and even refurbished their ranch. The frontyard of their new bungalow was very delicately made that included a dining area complete on wooden platform walkways and a rock pond. The backyard was the dream of the son Collin, who loved baseball as a pitcher (the player who uses the bat to hit the ball in the game). There was a pitcher training lane with a top-end ball shooter machine at one end of it. Collin was over the moon.

Then there were individual themed bedrooms that reflected the hobbies and interests of the children. The puppy house was in the younger daughter's bedroom. Oh, I saw at least 3 LCD televisions in the house. The masterbedroom's washroom was as posh as a hotel suite, very spacious man... One of the best part was the kitchen, where you can heat up any food products by using the microwave's scanner to read the product's barcode. I don't really know how that works actually.

Everything the crew could do to give the family a better environment, they did. The ranch was upgraded with equestrian hurdles for the 14yo daughter to train her hobby. The family truck and trailer was coated with a stylish design as well. Everyone in the family got a new hairstyle and most of all, a better life.

All in all, one new bungalow complete with furniture and everything inside out. I want to be part of the show in remaking people's lives!!!

Today. The day heaty flu continued to wage war with me and surrendered before school ended. Thanks to my vapour action Halls sweets. I'm very baffled by complex numbers. The steps are easy but my lecture notes isn't very helpful for answering tutorial qns !

Oh yeah this posting tool is back to normal. In fact life has gone back to normal. There isn't the urgency to study for exams anymore. What now? Games and training...Err not SEA games lol. And some final mentoring work for the juniors in sec sch. I can't remember how did I go through the gruelling weeks during O lvls...
ahhh exams over... but i don't really feel like it is. First, I've been playing as much before exams during exams and now after exams. Secondly once after the last promo paper of physics, i was thinking of project work oral presentation(something I hate since pri sch) and AO level Chinese. Sucks totally. There's no stop to your worries when you're schooling. Exams are meant to make you lose sleep over studying for, upset yourself when you get poor grades and carry on your life with the regret of not doing well for it. Can't schooling be more carefree? I saw 05S18 got back their chemistry paper today in the hall coz their teacher marked her form class first. Yuan jun got the bottomline score and Jessica uhm...failed by 3 marks. I thought the paper was easy, though a very high A score will be hard...I'm thinking of a high B or low A. School life is just so worrisome.
How did history's famous scientists come into the scene ? Or I should ask, how can one become a famous scientist ?
I was doing my physics paper just and e lil dance gal was sitting on my right. I was thinking through, "Of what use will Physics be for her?" Most of us study physics for the A grade in the A lvl certificate, and not to become a scientist ultimately. Then wouldn't the gal, together with many of us, be wasting our time learning Newtonian Laws? For me I'm into air-motion concepts and aerospace, about anything that flys or move in the air on its own (:

Going into happier things, I'm going swimming on sunday with some old classmates and a beloved teacher. Darn, i still can't swim well^sobx^^x^

Just woke up from a good 2 hour nap. The maths paper in the morning went really smooth, other than i missed out one graph sketching qn costing me 2 marks ! No perfect score anymore, but i'll bet anything I will get A hehe..
I'm not so sure about the chem paper tomorrow because after trying e jjc 2003 promo paper, I realised how difficult it can go! That year's paper was full of structured qns! ALL 10 mark qns sia... So depressing after doing that. I'll either break or bend during tmr's paper. Physics will be better than chemistry because i've done the most revision on tt. Gonna hit real hard at the paper.
Will do! Just have to think like liuyun the pro.

Euww...My blog's posting tools has turned into some kind of malfunctioning corrupted piece of junk. Is it the blogging server's problem or mine? It is really disgusting. The buttons are all lined up against the left side?? Yuck. Hope this message gets posted successfully. The language papers, as usual, were stoners. As boring as the lessons. Or in any case, as boring as your principal's speech. You just sit down there, trying to keep your eyes open and think real hard about the load of things he(or in this case the paper) says. The next 3 papers will be exciting, I promise. I got the advent children movie few days ago, turned out that it's all in japanese. All I get from figuring out their language is "ne...", "....sae", "...toh!" You can imagine Westerners hearing we chinese speak so much and not a single word of their understanding. I'll just have to get another version with english subtitles.

A relief english teacher once asked me of my dream in future. I said I wanted to view the Earth from space.

Now coming to think of that, i'll be more than glad to die in the space capsule after that. What's a better way to view the place you lived in for your whole life than this? But for now allow me to capture the moon on my telescope.

Exams just around the corner. I've been playing comp games like never before. This always happens. I dunno why...Maybe studying at my room is not conducive enough.
But then I failed to understand what Jonah from rjc told me. He said the best way to prepare for exams is to study. Duh, this simple sentence I couldn't achieve its meaning. We shall see how things turn out. Can't wait to train again!

Yet another week of Pride. Today's episode was very emotional which almost made cried like Yamato. He was noble and his life was miserable for 12 years...
Today the workers came to my hse to retrofit the window friction stays. One one guy came and later joined by 2 others. They did it halfway, but problem arised when they installed back the windows. They will be back on monday to do it again. Malaysians are just good in construction. I'm half m'sian too. wohoo Y!

The world around me is against me. No one likes me... I'm a loner... I'll be the loner that holds the overwhelming victory.

Halu says to Aki, "I won't force you, but if you can, I want you to watch without averting your eyes. If you do, I can be stronger."

Enjoy the song, one of several featured in Pride.

Yuko Takeuchi is so mesmerizing!So cute too! I'm not going to miss the first episode of that show :)

Argh I dunno what's wrong with me today. My condition now is a smack between a sore throat and a flu. And it just won't get any better! How to do my work? I will go berserk if I draw my curves and find asymptotes!

Ta MA de...I was meddling with my specs when the class photo was taken during the gathering...loL. Nvm there's next year to look forward to! Yesterday went ginza kfc to study with frens for 5 hours straight. I only managed to finish 1 JJC promo paper. It was damn easy. Those answers I had no confidence in all turned out to be correct ...maybe I need more topical revision before hitting the papers to increase my speed.

Yesterday was a night to be remembered for me, or probably every tss 4e1 classmate who went to the teachers' day gathering. Although a handful of peeps didn't make it, hope they'll be fine and remember the teachers and most importantly the class! Awww Mrs Koh our maths/form teacher couldn't hold back her tears...again. She was by far a good teacher, always caring for us. Then there was Mr Chan the Chemistry teacher, still a faithful fan of China ya? Lol...He was like a propaganda messenger for China... keep injecting us with the happenings in that country. "You know huh, in China ......" was his favourite starting phrase to sidetrack from the lesson. I don't blame him now already for not giving me the A1 grade for Chemistry prelims, because I've made it into a comfortable JJC and moreover I got b3 for o lvls! Really don't deserve that A1 chem grade, come to think of it...

The memories of 3e1 /4e1 came back very much yesterday, as I came to realise that there's this group of friends once so close to me and hopefully the class will continue like this or even better. YAY I finally returned Rach her FFX disc! It's like the best game that invoked my emotions. Stanley went crazy yesterday :) He became so playful ! I haven't seen him like this since we joined JJC. Ms Chai was so enthusiastic when she introduced us some orientation-like games. Finian went so boinkers@#$* at it hahahaHA. I didn't went back to tanglin or rulang..damn...I'm like a bad unfilial student! But I went back tanglin for mentoring and met the teachers several times, so i guessed that'll do. I'll win a medal before I see Mr Tham next year!

MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO THE GATHERING LAST NIGHT. YOU PEOPLE CAME AND MADE IT HAPPENED. A BIGGER THANKS TO ORGANISERS FINIAN AND LYNN CHOO. BIGGEST THANKS TO THE TEACHERS WHO CAME AND THOSE WHO TAUGHT ME BEFORE. HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY````~~! AND OH, I HAVEN'T FORGOT, JESSICA! THANKS FOR ALLOWING THE GATHERING TO BE HELD AT YOUR CONDO! HOPE EVERYONE WILL BE FINE AS THEY GO THEIR OWN WAYS TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS (:

Okay, from now on i'll recall my 4e1 classmates whenever I'm in difficulties so as to encourage myself.

She caught my eye a couple times this week. SOoo pleasing ! How can I not like her. My super-duper goddess. The other day I even dreamed about saying "hello" to her. This seemingly simple task is so tough for me... What ever the crap, things will go just this way... She goes her way, I walk on...praising she's beautiful in my heart. She's happy, I'm just as good.

Operation Perfection

Aim
- To secure some As for the final academic report, I have hereby chosen to take this gruelling route to score perfect marks across the board.

I just knew I could do it when I got back my grades for common test. The whole thing is as if imprinted in my mind before reality plays it out. I just know what is wrong with my studies. I will walk out of JJC with my task done at the end of the year 2005. I came to realise that I'm a perfectionist because I felt everything I wrote on paper, I want it to appear in its best form. And in some other examples in my daily life, it reflects the same thing. Perfection.

Sidetrack///-/
I hate my class. Especially some of the boys. Nothing wrong with the gals at all. It's just about the boys. Someday I would reall pipe up something like, " Hey XXX, SHUT THE F*** UP LAA !"

This week's 2 training sessions have been tough...another of the same workout is due tomorrow. But I'm going to skip the main workout...do some hurdles instead. Today must study for Physics SPA which will be on friday. If I start tomorrow, I'll be too tired to absorb anything.

I received my chemistry common test from ms zhang 15mins before lesson ended. She yelled abit at me for leaving my answer blank for MCQ Qn 4. First a 17/30 for MCQ. Lol. Really had nothing to say about this score. I know I didn't do my best at all to study enough but tried to absorb everything I'm not sure about the chapters. Like a sponge. Not spongebob *yuko! hee.
Then when ms zhang handed over my paper 2 and I looked through my marks the 1st time round, I had mixed feelings. 24/50. Failed but I'm not sad. I remembered my classmate Tee Yien saying proudly about his answers for qn 5. He said so confidently about it and it made me so nervous because mine were all so different! He's those kind of abit haolian guy (negatively) though he's quite nice together with me. But I scored 9/11 marks for that qn. I remarked, "Huh. Who said so sure about this qn?" Still, 41/80. Pass for chemistry. Physics would be worse I reckon. Maths...hmm....hard to guess.
I learned a good lesson in sec 1. After I took the first maths test, I told a girl beside me that I will surely score very well(damn haolian la...Regrettably). In the end I failed by a far margin. From then onwards I mentioned my expectations for exam results conservatively.
I bet everyone else had a better chance in the common test than me. I didn't feel competitive enough to get good scores if you know what I mean in implicit terms. Didn't actually study enough! I feel abit like the top scholar(Liu yun) in my sec sch now..trying to be ahead of what the teachers are teaching. I don't want the teachers to set my learning pace. One day I'll be behind time again. There is no way to maintain equilibrium if I follow exactly what the teachers give.
I want to thank my Chinese teacher for her word of enlightenment. She said, "The only difference between you and the good JC students is a word, 'lazy' " From that day onwards I tried really hard to utilize my free time.

`!END!~

BACK TO NORMAL SCHOOL DAYS AND NOT FORGETTING THE PROMOS ARE LOOMING ARD 6 WKS LATER. I WILL WORK DOUBLY HARD ! CAN'T WAIT TO TRAIN!

I didn't fail, I found 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb; I only need one way to make it work.

"Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. "

Taken from the Declaration of Independence of the United States.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and provide new Guards for their future security."

By Benjamin Franklin Gates' explanation in the movie National Treasure, it means if there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.

*I read the full text of the historical paper and couldn't understand who are the people written in it referring to. It's like no other text I've seen. I love the part when Nicholas Cage said that excerpt above. Super cool voice.

From the Movie, Saving Private Ryan
My dear Mrs Ryan: It's with the most profound sense of joy that I write to inform you your son, Private James Ryan, is well and, at this very moment, on his way home from European battlefields. Reports from the front indicate James did his duty in combat with great courage and steadfast dedication, even after he was informed of the tragic loss your family has suffered in this great campaign to rid the world of tyranny and oppression. I take great pleasure in joining the Secretary of War, the men and women of the U.S. Army, and the citizens of a grateful nation in wishing you good health and many years of happiness with James at your side. Nothing, not even the safe return of a beloved son, can compensate you, or the thousands of other American families, who have suffered great loss in this tragic war. I might share with you some words which have sustained me through long, dark nights of peril, loss, and heartache.
And I quote: "I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the alter of freedom." -Abraham Lincoln. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, George C. Marshall, General, Chief of Staff.

Facts:

The Battle of Normandy was fought in 1944 between the German forces occupying Western Europe and the invading Allied forces as part of the larger conflict of World War II. Sixty years later, the Normandy invasion, codenamed Operation Overlord, remains the largest sea borne invasion in history, involving almost three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in occupied France.

The Normandy invasion began with overnight paratrooper and glider landings, massive air and naval bombardments, and an early morning amphibious assault on June 6, famously known as "D-day". The battle for Normandy continued for more than two months, with campaigns to establish, expand, and eventually break out of the Allied beachheads. It concluded with the liberation of Paris and the fall of the Chambois pocket.

Statistics
Army Strength
Allied Forces: 326,000 (by June 11, 1944)
Germany: unknown

Casualties
Allied Forces: 37,000 dead, 18,000 missing, 154,000 wounded
Germany: ~200,000 dead or wounded, 200,000 captured

Afterthoughts :

It was a great victory over the Germans that the world will remember. After watching Saving Private Ryan and Band Of Brothers(series) , I salue the Allied troops for their boldness and determination to free Europe of Hilter's vicious grip. Many documented brave souls have died, while others live on to tell the tale to their grandchildren. A hard-fought war that granted freedom for the world, indeed.

In memory of the atomic bomb released on Hiroshima which flattened the whole city exactly 60 years ago (Aug 6, 1945). The United States were not to be blamed fully for what they've done during WWII. The army got to do what it has got to do as a superpower nation. Moreover, Pearl Harbour was attacked with utmost brutality by the Japanese. Millions of Asians were suffering under the evil war campaign of Japanese, obviously trying to conquer Asia. Had the atomic bombs not been used, the whole asia will be called Japan. Peace talks at that time is impossible because the ambitious leaders only had one thing in mind, to kill and conquer. My stand is that the Japanese deserved the bombs and my fingers point to the generals who started the campaign.

This will be my last entry.
Common test in 2 weeks time.
I will continue after that.
Tagboard messaging for now then. Good luck in studying peeps.

Went back tanglin for 5 hours of chemistry mentoring work. It was rather pleasant this time because there wasn't much questions asked from the sec 4s. Did some inspection on their practical around noon. They were dissolving Mg metal strips into HCL and H2SO4 acid. The instructions were simple but a quarter of them made different silly calculation mistakes... so noob man... could've been more conscious. 1 saturday sepnt just like this... shall attempt chinese essay later... I can do it !

2nd session of the devastating training program. Nothing went wrong except chin hong came up to the empty grandstand to chat with me for a while. This time my hips had a different area in heavy fatigue. My lower leg still suffering from the injury inflicted by yuko's classmate tt day during e soccer game. Our legs just crashed into each other's and the pain is really starting to bother me... But I will persevere, for I can smell thy victory ahead. Jianchao is blasting off the ground again!

Fate.
I met my chemistry tutor 4 times in different places today although there's no tutorials or anything except chem lecture. She was also giggling hard when I told her that :-)
I still don't know how experienced she is in teaching chemistry but I can tell she is trying very hard to make us understand her lessons. How can I get a poor grade for the upcoming common test when she's tried her best for my class?

As Roman Emperor Hadrian said of Rome, 'Brick by brick, my citizens. Brick by brick.

Uh huh. You heard the lady. Die-hard fan keke... I'm grinning from ear to ear all night long man.. Take care of yourself too ya? I know it's wild fun to hang outside from night till dawn but it's also detrimental to health unless i'm invited haha....

No training tmr because there's a compulsory "Xiang Sheng" show in LT5. So train on thurs after yoga and saturday!
I must keep myself awake after 6pm if not no homework will be done...

!!! Private Lee is going down from the onslaught of Air Alert III in JJC !!!
The simple jumps were siong indeed... Is that how he is able to jump 2.0x metres?
My legs just went so jelly-like that jogging 400m for cool down feels like hell on my muscles around the knee area. But hey ! that's only the first jump-conditioning session. There's 15 more weeks ahead.
I will train, whether rain or shine,flood or drought ;)

Good job Tanglin Track team. My 2 training partners got bronzes while the lower sec gals grabbed 1 gold and 2 silvers ! That's a big achievement for an underdog neighbourhood school. Of course, without Mr Tham they wouldn't be in the prize stand.

I can see her, but just couldn't feel her. Separated by an imaginary glass, the feeling is bad. When she logs on to msn, I can't help but to retreat to "appear offline" mode, hoping that her nickname will stay online for as long without noticing me.

Pshhh...hope Nicholas isn't looking at my blog.
He said Yuko was quite pretty in primary school and I was taken back by his words loL...I don't think he meant any thing else by saying that huh...
I'm so bad hor... purposely write this out to attract yuko's attention lol...
K that'll keep her coming back for more juicy info...

Mentoring again on sat morning!
OH! I have to sleep early tonight to compensate for my early waking in the day(3.30am crawled out of bed to study physics). It was worth it.

This week was so busy! Had to do 2 make-up topical tests...Disappointing results i reckon. I really studied at the eleventh hour...So troubled now...There's a super big physics test coming tomorrow. I don't think my brain can eat 3 sets of physics chapters in one night.

Oh the other day:
I watched Cool Runnings, a movie about the first Jamaican bobsled team based on true history. As you know Jamaican is a country in Africa and there's no ice for bobsledding. But still, in the 1970s, the first bobsled team emerged and qualified for the Olympic Winter Games in Canada. My tears welled up in my eyes when in the end, the team had a record-breaking time but crashed through the course because the bobsled had a technical problem. Why? It was partly because theirs was a basic and rickety training bobsled. The Jamaican Olympic Committee did not sponsor the hopeful team a single cent and it was only made possible by full contribution of one of the bobsledders.
It is a very inspiring movie for lost and self-motivated athletes like me.
There are a few things I learned from this movie alone.
- Do you know how the movie portrayed the Jamaican bobsledders being looked down utterly by other contending bobsledders? I call it total humiliation but like my previous coach said abt a junior runner, you must make use of this energy(being humiliated/provoked/anger/despair) to convert into useful energy. That junior's father(i think) passed away before his race but he ran with overwhelming power to win eventually.
- If Jamaica can make it into the Winter Games, every country has an equal chance of participating in absurd sports events.
- Some athletes are never forgotten in history not because they won some huge events, but done a memorable/honourable act.
- Win in your country's,community's and your way. Don't follow others blindly.
The 4 Jamaicans' bobsled stopped short of the finishing line. They embraced each other, got up to their feet and carried the 600 pound bobsled to the end as claps from the overlooking audience by the side grew louder and louder. Ohh I just love the movie. Jamaicans, you have shown me what the true meaning of Olympics is all about.

That's it. Nationals over. Didn't even clear 1.60m. Like I said, I'm aiming for next year. I finally get to see Diwei, Bingyang and David Woon in person!

To end things up, I went to clementi central and ate rotiboy while strolling back to Tanglin sec to retrieve my O lvl cert. It's not too good leaving it there for so long... Quite some of my classmates' ones were still there. The gym wasn't open...The trackers probably all busy going to cck for competition. This is the second time I went to back to my secondary school in 3 days. Amazing !

My dream life.
Owning an extensive house set on a stretch of lush green patch of land. Every morning I will be greeted by the numerous mountains from a distance not far away. I revved up my red Ferrari and zip down the roads to the countryside.

In the winter, the mountains put on their snow as I cast the shadow of my minature plane over them.

Free
The dream within.

If you have anything to say, say it now. How sure are you that you can live another day to tell the tale?
I'm not going to leave this world without accomplishing my dreams.
I brought down the previous template because I feel that the theme is too significant for me. I guess this new one is here to stay, for long.

Wow...Reached home at 7pm almost every day this week. My timetable for this term is even out on all days, even friday ends at 2pm. I have gone yet another league behind my work, be it Physics, Chem or Maths. Saturday there's mentoring work for me in sec sch too. I can't even handle my own load of work, but i'll see what I can help to help my juniors with my b3 level in chemistry.

Okay Monday's my big day. Hopefully I can clear the first height at 1.60m.
Following Tuesday, I have to take my Chem and Maths test.
Believe in me everyone. Thanks.

I'm exploring iPod Music Store now because there was a new feature in my iTunes. I didn't knew apple.com offers free high-definition music videos and podcasts. The latter is like downloading the radio to your comp! It boasts over 3000 different stations that I can listen on my iPod while on the road. The music videos are in QuickTime format which guarantees absolute video clarity. What are you still looking at? Get iTunes now.
Btw Apple released the colour LCD 20GB iPod at the same price as the non-colour one! I feel a bit cheated... But nevermind...as long as people buy Apple products, I'm equally happy. If you have been catching the business news, Creative is going down the slope in its profits while Apple has the opposite. Reason? Creative's mp3 players failed to displace Apple's iconic iPods. I'm not saying you should waste your money on Creative mp3 players, but iPod is the better option.

I'm still thinking what to do in track training tmr...Most likely it'll be curve strides, run-up strides and i'll challenge 1.40m in standing high jump...again.

Mingzhao's friendster pic is stunningly cool man... With him clearing 1.85m and some more the cam is projected upward into the cloudy blue sky at cck. That's his new pb by the way. I really hope he wins the championship this year. I don't want to see HCI ppl dominating the top 8 again and again. Go boy...next year I'll fight alongside with him. This year..hmmm... CMI la.

"Hold On"

You tried so hard to be someone
That you forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
'Til all you had spilled over
Now everything's so far away
That you don't know where you are, you are

[Chorus:]
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to [2x]
For you to belong to

When it's hard to be yourself
It's not to be someone else
Still everything's so far away
That you forget where you are, you are

[Chorus:]
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to [2x]

Hold on [8x]

Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to [3x]
For you to belong to

My eldest sista made pasta for lunch today! It's marvelous with all those melting cheese and intriguing tomato pasta sauce on it. Halfway eating that, suddenly I kept thinking what happened during gp tut. yesterday.

We were having the SDU speed-dating activity and David was matched with me. Huiqin was with Shaun and the gentle Miss Tan asked Shaun what he has to say about his date. He started off by saying Huiqin was a very vocal person(she's a hardcore ogl, u see). Then Miss Tan urges Shaun to say something more... Shaun added, "She's a pleasant girl..." And the whole class goes "ohhhh 0000". Then the more hilarious thing happened. Shaun flunked his hands up a little and commented with a joking expression in his face, " Aaalright I lied. hah.." The whole class burst into maniac laughter. I just love my class even more!

The NUS dance team @ the psc show rox !!! They've got the speed, the flow and whole lot of energy. I'll bet 10 on them winning the finals tonight. OH no..they got 3rd..

So much maths due next week. I don't want to disappoint Miss Lang. And Ms Zhang in my chemistry too!

I went through so bad things this week. So many unlucky events...Vexing man. Training weren't as good as I thought. What's the matter with me?
Let's talk abt my new drink. U pour hot water into cup with lipton teabag and add some milk. Walaaa! It becomes my fave drink. Mz asking me to go cck stadium to train jumps with him...k lor i'll just go see what I can learn from him..

It was a ridiculous day at first but Miss Eleen Tan came in for our last lesson and saved the day with her interesting globalisation game. I admit I was red-eyed when another team won us by a significant margin but the feeling is real bad... Chem SPA in the first lesson was a display of my stupidity and nervousness that ruined it all. Wasn't it a leisure activity? I want Jacuzzi(Physics kind of SPA lol) next time man..SPA not shuang one..

Tomorrow is thursday. I'm going to do jumps! On friday as well! Lately I've been discovering something real bad in me...I'm becoming a attention seeker! Every time during training, if there are gals around, I will want their eyes on me!...But I'm another kind of attention seeker. I only try to impress gals when I know I have something to flaunt, in this case my jumps... But this doesn't make me less guilty of being one, right?
This is also why sometimes I can't concentrate on my jumps. I keep thinking ppl are looking at me and I've got to do it right to win attention.
So tmr...I've just keep all eyes on the crossbar and think of what I should do to clear the advancing heights.


"Day by day he gazed upon her. Day by day he sighed with passion."

YESH...I managed to overcome my greatest phobia in high jump, that is doing standing high jump. It's sort of a standing backflip and clearing over a bar. This afternoon I successfully cleared 1.35m ! It's almost as high as my chest level but I remembered he told me not to think so much and just do the 2 movements to clear the bar. I failed so many times as I raised the bar by 5cm each time from 1.20m. But I wanted something out of this training. A breakthrough. At least this will keep me in high spirits for the rest of the week if it can't set my mentality right for the competition in exactly 2 weeks' time.

The next thing I want to accomplish is doing "Jian Dao Jiao" or known as scissors jump over 1.50m to renew my old personal best(pb) of 1.45m. My jump records are in the scroll word strip found on the horizontal column below(just above your Window Start button). I'm not trying to make my readers feel they're stupid but I'm just helpful hah...

And ermm...I've got a new GP tutor for the rest of the year! She's Miss Eleen Tan the new teacher posted to JJC. In my opinion, she can teach more effectively than Mr Carl Ng because she's got the gentle yet demanding image which I can accept very easily.

8.40pm. Not bathed yet. Bye.

Skipped track this morning's track to let my legs recover from

Argh flu! ARRGGGHHH! Makes me so weak now. I trained too much on wednesday. It felt so wrong during training these days...I'm out of energy even before finishing the drills. I guess I need some time to accustom to the new volume of training procedure given by him. He rawks man..Gonna print his pic out and place it right in front of my file to remind myself constantly that I can do what he can.

Ouchh! I knocked my hand against e corner edge of e table and it hurts so bad when I rub tt area i got hurt. It kinda swell up a bit too.
Bad day...so bad man...

Thanks Sharon for giving me a handshake to cheer me on for the nationals championships. I'll try my best! No promises on medal though.

www.jumpychao.blogspot.com is my new site! It's just a summary of all the track n field competitions I went so that I can track my progress in jumping.

So...the monday i've been waiting for finally came huh. The last time I had such a training was like in june 2004? But this was different. Totally awesome la...I can't put those feelings into words man..
Tomorrow there's 2 main things to do. First go watch the Asian TnF Championships, then I have to muster courage to call swift club to ask about training. But training @ gombak is good enough already...Let's see how things work out :)
Now i'm tipping the scales at 56kg n maybe 171cm? Must grow taller to balance the frame of an Asian high jumper!

"You don't throw a life away just because he is banged up a little", Tom Smith from the movie Seabiscuit.
I watched the movie 3 times on the SCV Preview Channel. It's not just about the American legend horse, it about second chances in life and the never-give-up spirit.

The Olympic motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius."
These three Latin words mean "Swifter, Higher, Stronger." Baron de Coubertin borrowed the motto from Father Henri Martin Dideon, the headmaster of Arcueil College in Paris. Father Dideon used the motto to describe the great achievements of the athletes at his school. Coubertin felt it could be used to describe the goals of great athletes all over the World.

Altius is what I must become.

"Pass The Flame" is the Olympic Torch Relay 2004 song.

IMO, boy A theoretically will receive the same amount of rainwater as boy B, because they are in the same rain for the same period of time. However practically when boy B runs, he will swing his arms and this creates a larger body surface in contact with the rain as compared to boy B. So I think boy A receives more rain than boy B.
Yuko what u think eh?

Do you know how exhausted I was after this morning's training? I climbed up the stairs to the jjc grandstand from the pe porch and I was panting like there's no tomorrow.
If I half-squat now I can feel my thigh muscles calling for a break. It feels like being trained under Mr Tham in 200m intervals... After strolling a few steps I have to stop and take a breather. My short sprints are poor...need to run more and more to drill myself ! YAH!
Mingzhao going for Swift U-17 high jump tmr at toa payoh...I'm not going to waste my time there...can't win anything there and i have to take like 20 over mrt stops to reach lol...I was told by the swift club's secretary to call him/her again to see if i can join the club and train my high jump ! L0oking forward to it hehe...
Just the right time to sleep now! buai bye!

my web building skill has gone up a level after grace taught me how to host songs for my blog !!
Thanks Grace!
Actually if you ask me to identify grace out of all the track gals, i can't hehe...
I was supposed to train this afternoon to make up for yesterday's, but I caught a bad running nose at around noon. Struggling with the flu to understand the angelfire interface, I turned in at 3pm then woke up at 6+.
See, that's how I waste every single day in June =X

Dumb question
If boy A ran for 5mins in the rain and boy B walked in the same rain for 5mins, who will get drenched with more rainwater or will both get equal amount of water?

I'm thinking of creating a new blogsite specially for my competition results and afterthoughts for each particular competition.
If at any one point I am confident of winning any particular competition, I'll definitely bring my cam down and take some memorable pics, then paste it in my blog !
That may take a long time to materialise though..I will wait.

Results for the 2nd high jump competition of my career.

I was 6th during the National Junior Championships with a height of 1.55m. I wasn't pleased with that at all. National sch championship...at least a 1.65m maybe?

After all that stuff mingzhao said, I'm starting to believe I can get a decent spot in high jump at the inter school national championships this coming july. Come on, I can beat those hwa chong guys in this. My passion brings me the hope I need to clear my own height 1.70m. I've been watching staffan's sequenced videos and I discovered many secrets about his true technique, my technique.

Watch your back hcjc jumpers, look who's competing. Dark horse Jianchao is here to win the event from u dominators ! :) Who can beat me, for I am a follower of the swedish technique. Hehehe...Swedish high jumpers all have a common aspect in their technique that is different from jumpers of the rest of the world. Swedish Vikings rule them all !

Commemorating my completion of FFX-international ! I'd thank Rachel first definitely :) Some fans really cry when they see the ending of any of the Final Fantasy series. I was so touched by the ending of FFVIII, FFXI, and this time, FFX. The cut-scenes are always CG(computer graphics) that is as similar to real-life motion pictures as you can imagine.

[FMV: Yuna continues the sending, on the airship. In the background, the Aeons are floating around, and Sin falls down, exploding in a MASSIVE blanket of yellowish energy that spans a huge distance. The Airship floats above the cloud of yellow. We see the Aeons, floating around, get sent. Sin's fin explodes in a huge burst of energy as well. On Mount Gagazet, the fayths turns to stone, and the pillar of blue energy turns into a ball of water, then vanishes into many water bubbles. In the bubbles, we see images of the people of the dreamworld; Tidus is one of them. Back on the airship, Tidus looks at himself, as he begins to fade. Yuna shakes her head]

Yuna
"No."

Tidus
"Yuna, I have to go."
"I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand."
"Goodbye!"

Wakka
"Hey!"

Rikku
"We're gonna see you again...?"

Kimahri
"Yuna!"

[Yuna runs to Tidus and passes through him. Everyone gasps. He looks at his hands; pyreflies fly up from his body. Yuna, lying down, watches a pyrefly fly up in front of her face. They go into the air. Yuna stands up; their backs are facing each other]


Yuna
"I love you."

[Tidus turns and faces her back, a sad look on his face. Yuna faces forward solemnly. He walks up to her from behind and wraps his partially-fading arms around her. He fades through her body, walking forward. We see a final shot of the group; Kimahri and Lulu are showing little to no emotion, though Lulu does do a small wave. Yuna's still staring forward. Rikku is jumping and waving. Wakka looks sad and dejected, almost like he said/did something wrong. Tidus, burying his anguish, turns around and sprints to the edge of the airship, and jumps off. He floats down through the clouds, and vanishes...we see Braska, Auron, and Jecht. Jecht sticks out his hand; Tidus slaps it]

[Scene change; on a dock in Luca (presumably) looking out to sea. Yuna whistles. She breathes, and whistles again. Lulu walks up the dock]

Remember the boys who got lost in Mount Fraser, Malaysia recently? The following is an excerpt from the article.

"I kept telling the two small ones, do you want to live or die, whenever they were too afraid to walk to a river or when they started crying," he told The Straits Times from his hospital bed in Raub, where the boys were warded for observation.

Raub is sort of my hometown and also where my grandparent's house is situated in. Over 400km from Singapore, that's where I spent my first few years of life there. I learned how to walk there too! The Raub hospital is roughly 2km from my house. Wow thinking about this year's CNY, the fireworks in the town were awesome. There's fireworks of difference scale... every night some rich family will bring some up into the dark sky :)

Another even more recent newspaper article.

When he began his studies at Tanglin Secondary, he was 1.5m tall, and weighed close to 60kg. That qualified the chubby introvert for the TAF club.

The boy who belonged to the Chinese Chess Club while in Tanglin Secondary moved on to the Outdoor Activities Club in Jurong Junior College in 1998.

Hey! I was enrolled in the 2 schs he went! Mr Teo Yen Kai was one of the NUS team who attempted to scale Mount Everest. And he did it! From overweighting in school to conquering Mount Everest, that's a big achievement I supposed.

More significantly, these two articles tugged my heartstrings as both had something related to me.

I had PW meeting in JP Mac... It was a energy-drainer. There were so many aspects to consider that my concentration was hanging on the edge. Our project is very technical in the proposal. All the measurements and calculations must be realistic and acceptable...I guessed we couldn't put ourselves to handling up a poor piece of work to Ms Lang's table.

The FFX-2 game. So girlish and messy. The battle mode interface is hastened up so much. The dress sphere system is so complicated. But the area of the game remained largely unchanged. Most of the locations are still the same as in FFX. Tonight shall play some more if I can go through 10 qns from physics tut. 6

I woke up from a warm sleep,

only to discover that I just gone through a bad dream.

Warm environment induces nightmarish sleep, babies suffer that most.

The dream was in bits and fragments, or as much I remembered.

First it involved me stealing 2 Nokia handphones of diff. model from 2 people I know.

I hid A's handphone in a place after stealing.

When I went back to recover the phone, a funeral was going on nearby.

It was A's funeral.

The next thing I knew was some electromagnetic sort of pulses affected me.

And I came back to reality, or rather, back to my warm and stuffy room.

I still think about the competition yesterday.

I remembered vividly what Ronnie Cai did during the competition.

Almost every movement.

After I was striked off the competition, I put on my JJ track n field shirt.

Ronnie also put on his NYP shirt, commenting, "I'm proud of my school" and giving a smile.

I'm super motivated by him to jump higher now.

His catchphrase has infected me. "I can do it"

It was a stunning experience for me at Gombak stadium yesterday! The best 2 high jumpers in Singapore went, namely Ronnie Cai and Mike Loh. The latter put up a tough fight in the tie-breaker but lost eventually. From 6.30pm it dragged on to about 7.30. The highest height set was 2.06m but none of e 2 could clear. I just couldn't get enough of their incredible jumps! Michael Loh talked to me quite a bit. He asked me a couple of times how much he cleared over the bar. Lol one time he asked I said he cleared more than ronnie, and he replied, "I don't believe in this kind of thing la" But seriously lor...Ronnie's flight path over the air is very flat and horizontal, while michael body shoots straight up and execute a damn damn flexible upper body bend over the bar. Naturally that would seem more air above the bar hahha...
Overall it was a sensational night.
How about me? I cleared over 1.60m(also my personal best) in my first attempt and missed twice on 1.65m. I was done then hehe.. I didn't really feel any shin pain lately during jumping sessions. And the ground at the stadium felt much padded and I can feel the difference of that and in JJ. Next time must ask jiesheng carry e mattress to the semi-circle of the track(where e hockey team do their shooting) to jump :)
Woah! Wings website released a HJ video of ronnie for last night. shiok.

I have fallen into the lazy level in my work. The study momentum is gone, long gone.

I started to pick up the chem. energetics and I felt so helpless.

My concept of the chapter is so weak that I don't even know the units for enthalpy change.

How am I gonna do all the holiday work?

I'm such a let-down.

Just move on, I guessed. Do as much as I can. Try to jump 1.60m tomorrow at competition.

Will she* walk up to me again? I haven't seen her* for weeks, not even today when I heard she has tennis training.
Runner's World mag featured a female olympian who recommended this song for distance runners. I'm not a runner by any means, but I do use similar songs to prepare myself for training. I like the rhythm at the beginning of the song. Tum-tum tum tumm Dummm~~`
What do ya think? Comment on the song in the forum on the left column :)

Jiesheng the ogl came for his first training. He's got the strength but still raw on the right technique in high jump. I'm still suffering from the disbelief that I performed worse than him in e morning's jump session. Hopefully can clear the 1.60m qualifying height during this thursday's competition. I'll be striked off the open event in less than 4 attempts hehe... 1st height, 2nd height and i'll be sent off. For my track n field future, i'll ask the pros about their clubs on tt day...i just don't have the "feel" training in JJ...

I'm back from Batam ! It's hotter in the comp room here than there in Batam haha..

There were a few strong contenders for the video spot up there. But I'll definitely give it to my favourite boyband, Hanson from Tulsa, USA ! Hanson has won my support since I first heard them when i was about pri 5 or even younger i think. I put up their Penny and Me video so let's hear this one now ! Oops the link didn't work. This one is one of my favourite songs as well ! It's a song from the Smallville sountrack. I agree that the animals don't fit into the music video hahaha.. I'm getting bored of it already. The video will be updated periodically without notice :)

Enjoy your stay here in my blog !

Yay I'm back to add something. I caught a glimpse of Y* during her tkd practice this morning and she resembles a female artiste from channel 8 ! Give me something to search for that artiste's name and photo :)

Ahh just found her !

Yuko looks like Priscelia Chan(Zhen Shi Mei)

The HJ spikes were great! The insole of the shoe is very sturdy and rigid, making it easy for me to lift off the ground. Now let me show you what the Singapore version of Staffan Strand can do !

I was super duper enthusiastic during this morning's training.. Struggled through 4 sets of 20 push-ups, 20 sit-ups, 10 step-ups per leg, 15 back raises, 15 butt raise, and 15 calve raises. The last 20 push-ups were so hard ! My arm muscles were on the brink of collapsing :) One of the things I like about joining track is the fatigued feeling u get after every training...This feeling never fails to give me the sense of satisfaction at the end of the day.
Staffan must make a comeback in Sweden while I do e same here!

My hair looks kinda like him now :) Killer-cool college guy image.


The wind runs through my scalps as I sprint through the lengths of the track. One word. Refreshing.

Dunno what to do during training tomorrow haha... I'll just bring my high jump file to school the next day and figure out something effective...
Mz from CJC pressurised me that day tt he cleared 1.77m during training...If not for my shin splint problem I would've been better.
Gonna bring my awesome high jump spikes tmr for some curve running sets. Okay I'll stop once my shins say it painful. Runner's World mag said that you should always listen to your body. That's why God gave us nerve muscles! Quite logical i think..

This morning went to sch supposedly for PW consultation and maths Tutorial lesson.
But Miss Lang last minute cancelled e lesson because she thought she's not that awaken yet...actually me too..I was staring into blank half the time she was giving us tips for PW survey. After she left a big group of no less than 50 students stormed the canteen, securing tables around us. It took me quite long before I realised they were the pre-U seminar participants... as i said b4..no chiou gals :(

Then went to the old market(my family called the sch's nearby market that because I lived in that area previously) for chicken porridge :) Kan Hong's recommendation is good !
Walked back to school for a leisure game of soccer. It's 12pm plus and 5 guys playing soccer under the scorching sun shaded only by ocassionally passing clouds. This is the first time I play soccer with my classmates since I met them. Everytime they play soccer after PC I would be busy doing drills. Kanhong lobbed the ball from behind the goal post and I attempted to bang it into the goal. I used the wrong part of my head for the ball contact, or so John pointed out to me haha.. But I headed in the second time worhh...not bad for ppl like me..

Ahhh my high jump spikes arrived @ my door at around 8.30pm ! Everything's cool about it. I'm gonna give it a test-run on the track in one of these days :)

Today damn hectic lar...
Morning rushed to school for training because I know I have lil time to spend since I'm supposed to meet my PW group at 11 in jurong east.
Jogged 4 rounds as I promised myself because I was about to discontinue after 2nd lap as my flu side effect set in. Every morning training it's like this for me-initial breathing difficulty then the passages start to open after warm-up laps. Then far far away walking to the pe porch from the gate was a gal who i figured out as yuko...haaha..I was abit surprised because I've never seen her coming for practice so early although I'm always earlier for my training :) My shins got damn worked up liao at this moment but I still carried on with the workout i had in mind with the pain. In fact this whole training was done in frenzy slack mode... only did 3x30m sprints and 3x30 fall starts. Then I couldn't resist the temptation of doing some basic jumps on the mattress behind LT 5. 3 pe teachers including the new one walked past and I was waiting for them to comment on what i was doing...but they just walked past.
Wee kiat and I did cool down laps but before we finished the first lap we both agreed to end everything haha...we're both drained out...in different ways. Actually I wanted to say goodbye to yuko but i guessed better not 'cause she's listening so attentively to her senior for pattern guidance.

Went home, had a quick bath and packed my ass and got outta of e house soon after. By now it's 11am sharp. I'm getting tired writing every event in my day now too...
Let's just say I saw yuko going up e escalator with azman and gang in the library with half the tkd club ppl. Then saw yijia in entertainment center. Next saw yuko going down e escalator when i came back to e book haven. I call it book haven for its generous collection of national geographic mags. I picked 2 of them, one runners' world and one with a cover page abt olympics history. 2 guy friends n I had to wait blankly for 6pm for e "donor" so that we can print from the microfilms. The lady at the printing area kept saying must wait till 6pm for "donor" or so the word sounded from her mouth. We're so baffled because it makes no sense as what she means. I nearly left the library without my laptop hehee...my sis will peel my skin off if i lost the computer that stores all her university work. I left it at e printing area =X

mz said his coach got him high jump spikes in just 8days from ordering date till receival date. How come mine is slower? I need to familarise my feet with the shoes before the competition. It's a whopping S$136 including shipping costs so let's just hope nothing goes wrong.
My middle-dist spikes is almost falling apart le... AlL thanks to my super sprinting and jumping hah..
mz and i got e same high jump spikes lor...we're gonna fight alongside in the nationals man!

If there's a will, there's a way. I never gave up on trying to get the music on the kingdom of heaven's theatrical trailer and I finally ripped the music off the trailer using a trial video to audio converter program. Sounds too technical? In layman's term I simply spent the whole sunday trying to extract a music sheet from a trailer =)

Sophea smsed me later at night about tomorrow's training at 8am but I have to report for pre-U seminar by 9.30 in the school concourse!
I still went enthusiastically for the training and only to be rewarded with super tight calves and ankles after the warm-up rounds...
Basically I wasted the whole training because my mild flu rendered me unable to continue with long recovery run.
Then chiong through 3 sets of 20 pumpings, 20 squats, 20 sit-ups, 10 calve raises, 10 back stretches.
9.10am
Ran half a round for cool down on the track before dying down to a stop.
9.15am
Stretching exercises
9.20am
Bathed without soap and some more got my left sock and shoe totally soaked. Still wore them all day till 6pm. Guess what happened to my left foot sole? It creased like an 80 year old grandma's face. I had to limp my way in the house and finally whipped out a hair-blower to drive off the water.

Hall 12 usher at the pre-u seminar isn't that fun with all the sweat I churned out. All I get at the end of the day is one cheapskate cup of coffee. I'm not going on friday again la...waste my prreeeciouusss time. I've got a competition to prepare yer know? I know I'm gonna eat the dust in the open event but I still have to fight all the way with pride since i'm representing JJC!

Did you know I almost missed the entire blockbuster Seabiscuit on starhub preview channel? Heng i caught the last 50 mins of it. It's a good movie but I'm not sure why i'm saying this because i've not watched it before haha....Maybe I like movies involving triumphs of people or characters, which in this case is the legendary american horse Seabiscuit.

Gombak Stadium 6.30pm my field event. anyone wants to come see how i bite the dust?

"Home"
Michael Buble

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home


Hmmm lovely tune and lyrics

my god..yuko and her bro..it's too much of a coincidence that they will appear on e psc nite show tomorrow in different sections of it. If her bro's dance team wins e round and yuko walks away with pockets full of cash, that'll be the best !

Today's track training was bad before, during and after the session.
Before- Had to rush finish an gp essay outline in e library before 3pm so that I'll have enough time to train my jumps.

During- Feet are like glued to the ground. Can't elevate myself. I think my run-up towards the bar isn't bouncy enough to wake up the leg muscles for the jump.

After- There is this furniture store behind LT5 which stores my precious high jump equipment and it is used to keep the lion dance club's drums and whatnot. The lion dance ppl were practising when i was going to get the mattresses and stuff. I knew they took the one and only key guarded by the p.e department so I just went from e other door they opened. I loaned kok sin and andy from a Odac senior who was making them do monkey bar pull ups. The 3 of us carried e first matt. and xiang jing mobilised the entire odac j1 to help carry e 2nd one haha...Of course only e guys helped n gals watched... eh? Why i wrote so much?
Okay, so when i finally gave up e session because my shin splints came back unfortunately, the lion dance club have went home with e key ! Then Mr Ang asked me to find them, but c'mon la..how am i going to do tt? So I couldn't help but abandoned e mattresses and equipment outside the storeroom. No one will steal those home and make them into beds la...anyway i'll still need it anytime soon during e holidays and those pe teachers won't come to school as much as i know...

PHew...i wrote so much about my bad term-ending school day. I attained 17.5/25 for my maths lecture test worh... miss lang said my class highest is only around 18 :)
I saw tee yien's 2.5 marks on his paper...aiyo...i just hope all my friends don't get upset getting failing marks because your performance for a test may not show the best of you. Just make sure you know you can do it, and do it well the next time.

Then PW tut. with beloved miss lang. I like my pw group ! We know when to make fun and when to chiong the paperwork. Haha today lynn crapped too much and john glorified that with a phrase, "In Lynn's world it is always OOPS" OOPS stands for "out of point sia". Yeah I remember my geo teacher in sec school who used to stamp a "OOP" chop on our work when the point we give is irrelevent to answering the qn. Then everyone will go, "wah lao, tio so much OOP" when they got back their test papers.

PHy tutorial was pure slack lesson. I paid a conservative amt of attention to mr oh because the qns he went through were of minor concern to me. I just crapped with nicholas by my side and vooooom! it was nearing e end of the lesson liao ! Most importantly the $1.30 cadbury choc saved my stomach from hunger.

And if a shark came up and tried to bite you
You could say 'I'm chocolate - I invite you'
Wouldn't it be nice?

Btw there's another cadbury commercial that is not shown on sg tv. It's related to soccer so let's hope it "swims like that shark" to singapore soon haha...

Yikes it's 18 past 12am already before i realised it!

Hoh0hor... yuko if u dun come tmr i'll hit on ur weakness e next time i see u hehe :) I'm gonna treat you personal best heights tomorrow, i.e i'm going to set e bar at my best record.

Possess me, Staffan Strand !
Long live the Staffan technique.
I bet he's proud of himself cuz someone so far across the world is learning to use his technique !
Opps I'm entering the "crapping" level.
Btw my thighs are getting bigger and all high jump olympianShall stop cause' I came back to the comp just to unplug my iPod but look wad i'm doin' now? Nah..you guys won't blame me right?
The whole study system is out of order... this whole blog is out of order ! *Learned this from Joey in Friends ;=)

I'm such a bad guy. My sec sch classmate asked me to go out with a teacher who used to teach me, yeah for some of u who know it's Mr Ivan Lee. My reason for not going out was the load of work I had to complete. But now Vesak Day's 4pm already and I haven't sit on my study chair for a moment. Later got to start the chinese essay ! The amount of work I complete is inversely proportional to the time I can train my high jump. More work done on time means I need not spend time catching up with work and thus allowing time for cca. I'm born in December and that's prolly why I like to do things during the eleventh hour even though I have planned well ahead of schedule.

erm I think I have to go down to ntu with my class on friday for the pre-U seminar briefing. I'm a Hall 12 usher ! So I'm not sure I can have my training session on friday :( So sok chin your presence may not be needed at e track afterall ..sigh... we shall see how this week will progress.
My shins are getting stronger! urgh! Now just need to inject some strengthening elements into my training workout and muhahaaaa...you'll see a superman jumping !
For people who like classical kind of music and majestic trailers, visit the url link below. I just can't find the music played in this trailer !

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/kingdom_of_heaven/theatrical_menu.html

Again let me refresh the milestone i set for my cca performance this year.
To achieve a personal best height of 1.70m in my pet event, high jump.
I really need to catch up with high jumpers in the rest of the world. Those who joined the IAAF World Youth Championships at age 16 or 17 can hit extreme heights like 2.25m ! Fighting with S'pore jumpers isn't that challenging. Fight with the best and I'll bypass the local ones easily.

Why so many people esp. gals start saying I act dao? I'm just not responding to greetings because I am thinking of much more impt. things.I'll try to be more active in future.
Sigh... I couldn't see her* during her PC timeslot. She* didn't go? Instead I had a severe calve muscle cramp when I was playing vball with my classmates after my afternoon training... The cramp was so terrible that all the stretches I did couldn't ease the sharp pain. But as long my shins don't hurt, nothing's a big problem.

PHy test 26/36 ! That's not quite my dream score.

woah they've reorganised the neopets stockmarket a little..If you think neopets is a child's game, think again.Can you make your account worth 1 million in 3 months easily? I've done it hehe...I don't have much games in all my computers at home because I've played enough to realise that playing too much is all bad and nothing good. I might as well play with maths formulae and physics ideas. Nah...I'm not a fully-fledged nerd either. I indulge in playing LOTR: The Return of The King on my ps2. This game is a wonderful piece of work that encompasses actual movie cut-scenes to reward the played-like-hell-to-win player. There's also exclusive interviews of Sam and Gandalf as well as concept art of the movie. Original soundtracks are also played at the right time during the game.

Well life in JJ has gotten really dry for me...Too much important work lining one after another for me to complete and the training jump results aren't encouraging as well. Last friday I had only cleared 1.50 for a couple of times and that's it. I've decided to re-condition myself again since the shins aren't showing any signs of recovery/relief. I will probably train on thursday instead of wednesday since my training programme from now on will be a significant steer from other track members'. And one more reason... "ahem" got PC on thursday at 4.30pm.Enough said. You get the point.

If there is one thing I find unfairness relating to my studies, it will be the marking scheme of chemistry. I did a assignment test and there were those titration qns and results. I find it weird that if you had a mistake from the start but left the final answer in correct sig. fig./deci. pl, you get the mark because of a rule called "error carried forward" ! This is so ridiculous la ! There were 5 qns and I scored 3 correctly and so was my friend except he got the last 2 qns correct as well even though it was wrong??But he got 8/10 but I had 5/10 !?!?! Something is so wrong man...This is not SPA, where the error comes from your own experiment.
Damn it... 1st chem assignment test 7/10, then 5/10. The third one I don't know what to expect under such stupid marking scheme ! I'm going to climb up the academic rankings in JJ silently and wow others ! If trackers from RJC and ACJC can juggle both track and studies, why can't I? Being in JJ will not be the lame excuse i'll give! I'm so worked up right now ! arghh...!

16-21 March
Seminar on High Jump
Development - Practical
& Workshop

I missed it!!!!! Kao... I wonder how helpful that would've been to me !
But I'm aware of my next competition in June. I didn't know I still have a chance to participate in High Jump U-17 category...I'll try my luck...again.

Friends... I need friends. Both the real-life friends around me and the tv sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S ! I'm buying the season 7 this weekend. Yeah..going to reward myself with that for doing so much homework.

It was JJC Talentime yesterday! The perfomers were so damn great. Lynn assigned me as the photographer and I took no less than a hundred pics hehe... She had to do away with the old pics in her cam to free up memory space for the final shots with our civics and maths tutor, Ms Lang. She was the reason my class(almost all 25 of us) went for the show.

I rushed for track training, attended Talentime at 7pm, had "dinper"(dinner cum supper lol) at 10 and missed Smallville !!! ArgH. I saw the commercials abt this coming episode in which a teenage guy can run faster than Clark Kent. Last night was fun...haha y winked and smiled at me and i returned her. Her smile's so kawaii !

Track training was a blast ! 4x200m each under 33secs. 100m dash after all the runs at 13.40s. I ran my lungs out and the giddiness set in for a while. Now it's the sleepiness that is bothering me ! *Yawns* Today woke up at 4am to do some work and attended school from 7.30am to 6pm. Physical Conditioning(PC) tomorrow? Thinking of that makes me more tired.

I'm looking forward to this friday's jump session that my head is already on friday while the rest of my body is stuck on the days before friday..
My head too eager to welcome friday...
Every night i'm like thinking of stefan's jump technique. then my mind goes off track and again ponders on when i'm going to greet yuk0 e first time. i kept sensing she knows which guy in jj is me 'cause she seemed to be giving me that uncertain look. maybe she does tt to all other guys i dunn0 haha... hope she don't see this hehe..

'cause it's easy, once you know how it's done...
you can't stop now it's already began.
The tunes of one particular song keep ringing in my ears.
Jerk It Out by The Caesars
It's so hip-hop that I listened to it 10 times a day and simply want to put my hands in the clouds and shake as if i'm in the iPod Shuffle commercial.

First it's the Friends cast that includes Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox Arquette and Jennifer Aniston. I have no better comments than to ask everyone watch just any one episode. After that you'll be addicted.


Then there was Chad Michael Murray, the Prince Charming in Cinderella's Story and also from One Tree Hill. I like the silently cool impression this celebrity gives me. It feels like he's emerging to be famous, but doesn't want much publicity. I want to be like him in JJC hehee.


Next came Karena Lam or better known as Lin Jia Xin. The way her lips are shaped, her smile...totally mesmerizing... I was only aware that there's such a celeb. when she appeared in Tiramisu as lead female character.

If I can arch like Stefan Holm, that will be awesome. I'm going to try out his technique next friday !
*Saluting the cool swedish high jumpers*

Yikes water flies attack ! So many gathering at the ceiling lamp in the very room i'm using the computer ! Occasionally one will fly down and irritate me! These flies only come when the neighbourhood atmosphere is damp and their presence in your house means a big rain is imminent. This reasoning is always true in the sub-urban town where i stay in M'sia.

School today was a fair experience that felt like any other days. The most tiring thing was not the lectures ! but the 5km road run outside the school. I wonder when will my stamina improve significantly...I slowed down to a walk even before reaching the back of Hong Kah Sec...but I continued on ! Jog, run, walk. I couldn't stop for long before chin hong spurred me on while Zul slowed down for the lousy me to catch up with them. It's the longest run I've ever did, because this 32min run is longer than what i spent during x-country runs during my time in sec sch. Chin Hong suggested we run a 5km every week and I thought it would be a good idea since the NAPFA test is drawing nearer although I'm not sure exactly when is it. Faster than 12.00 min will be my target since the fastest I've got in my life is 12.31 larh..haha..SHHHhhh. don't tell anyone i'm from track and field k? OppS.
So shag now that my mind is only telling me "go to sleep man !"
Both calves so tight that I'm afraid cramps will find their way to my legs.
This friday I'm not ready to jump yet, mainly because my shins aren't well conditioned yet.

New song on the board ! This song is just so different from others. The tunes just twist and turn but it still come out smoothly.

"Citius, Altius, Fortius" (Faster, Higher, Stronger) - Olympics Motto

homework, portfolio tasks, project work !
It's too much !
I need a 48-hour day !

Apple/Creative news update:

Creative has statistically declared it cannot beat apple in its mp3 players. Sim Wong Foo acknowleged the stiff competition as his company's net profit plunges 72%. He said that his mp3 players are only fit to fight with contenders like iRiver for 2nd place in the mp3 market.
In my own opinion, Creative only creates mp3 players because they saw it as a lucrative product to sell for quick money. Apple had a few years lead and the americans make iPod to satisfy consumers' needs and wishes. That's the reason why poor people like me buy iPod despite its overpriced tag as compared to other mp3 players available.

Friday is here and my flu is still around. This sickness came at the wrong time because I'm losing ground on my school work. I went to maths tutorial twice without doing any work and I hate that same atmosphere I had in pri sch. Nv do work, scared teacher find out and reprimand. This weekend will be damn crucial for me in completing all my work. got chinese essay, PI, maths, physics, chemistry tutorial. When I get sick, everything stops-can't do homework, can't go for track and field...blah!
I wonder how the track trials went. JJ guys are really not putting their talents to good use. They are out there. They can run but just don't have the interest. What's with that? I've realised that good track team <=>good JC. But it's more of the other way round most of the time.
Jian Chao, just let time scourge out the best athletes in JJC. If they want, they'll come.


I saw a flower this morning, and I thought it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen until I gazed upon you*.

Damn it, it's the second day and my flu isn't getting any better...
It must be that I altered my sleeping period drastically on Tuesday when I waited till 2am to watch Friends. I'll bring my training stuffs to sch tmr and if I am still not feeling well, then I'll forget the idea of going to the 100m tracknfield trials. I can run a 13sec flat but I just want to devote all my time to high jump.
National Schs Championships ticking ever so close and the Q. mark is 1.60m ! That's what I can jump over now at best. Let's get over 1.65m before the meet !

Tomorrow is Thursday ! The first short school day of the week and also one of the only chances I can see the smiley gal ! Ahem. Don't get the wrong idea. Anyway I think only the smiley gal knows she's the one i'm talking about.
PC from 9-10am. After I'll either do interval training or drills.
I want to buy the Nike Jumps dry-fit shirt. It's damn cool. Mich Sng was wearing it and another indian ACJC long jumper had that same shirt. It's total coolness.

sh!t i suddenly forgot what to add..
ahh ! yes the moon !
Just for one episode of Friends IX, i stayed up at night till 2am to catch it. Meanwhile when I was waiting for 2am to arrive, I scanned the surface of the moon with my telescope. It has been quite some weeks since I last aimed my telescope at the moon. Luckily the wind blew the clouds in the right direction and opened a clear sky ;0)

Friends: The One With The Male Nanny
Ross and Rachel was interviewing nannies and this neat guy came to register and got picked by Rachel under the disapproval of Ross. Sally the male nanny was so good in taking care of babies that it irritates Ross who dismissed him as being too sensitive.

I'm just too resourceful when it comes to high jump videos. A total of 70+ videos and counting ! There's simply too much to download !

I would say to her*, "If I could rearrange the alphabets, I will put U and I together."

"Hey, how yer doin' ?" Remember this line? Probably Junwei has something in mind when he sees that. Yes ! Joey Tribbiani is back ! Joey is premiering this thursday at 9pm ! It's a spinoff from Friends the american sitcom that lasted a whopping 10 years from 1994 to 2004. Joey the show is more modern but you won't miss out on Matt Leblanc's wonderful jokes that'll tickle your bones all night. I have watched 20 episodes of Joey already but I'm hungry for more Joey fun !
So just go try watching it. You'll probably be glued to the tv like I once did when I started to like catching every Friends show. If only the characters in Friends won't grow old, then I'll find joy and laughter for years and years by watching their show. I was so touched by the very final episode of Friends which saw the characters going separate ways in the show. Channel five was heavily advertising that last episode and I remember there's one commercial which showed the 6 friends hugging together and Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved" was featured. At one point channel five was giving away tickets to friend's final episode screening and crazy fan me wanted to go so badly but it's for ppl above 18yo :(
One day I'm going to buy season 7 and 8 from the music store in JP and most likely hunt down the rest of the Friends seasons when I have more money. I have seasons 1-7 burned on CDs but I'm going to buy the whole original set of Friends.
For now, I have a good reason to stay awake every night.

Monday- 2am- Friends IX
Tuesday- 2am- Friends IX
Wednesday- 2am- Friends IX
Thursday- 9pm- Joey (Premiere)
Friday
- 8.30pm Smallville IV
- 10pm Survivor X
- 2.15am Friends IX

It was the last day of the Natl Jr. Championships and also a fruitful experience for me in my high jump debut. First I learned what will roughly happen during the competition, those procedures and then I got to know three other jumpers ! One from CJC and two other from ACJC. Till today I still won't say ACJC guys are guai lan ppl, because every one I've seen have good attitude.
Anyway I came in sixth. But in other words though, I'm the lousiest jumper haha... Yep. Only six of us went for the event early in the morning.
It was really an eye-opener for me because I had the chance to witness the "famous" Mike Loh attempt 2.02m though having three futile tries. The way he participated in e competition is damn damn damn dao. Q mark was 1.50m and he passed/skipped every height till 1.89m before clearing it on 2nd attempt. Next he requested for 2.02m and then it's over. I want to be like that ex-Rafflesian ! I cleared 1.50 and 1.55 on first attempt and failed both chances on 1.60m. The curve portion of my run-up was on a damp ground which didn't really gave me the courage to accelerate towards the bar.

I will practise my double arm swing in future trainings and in the meantime try to achieve better results with my old technique.



Strictly speaking, I'm the only JJCian to make it into the final 8 ! CHin hong couldn't qualify and Darren was 10th. Hehe...I know my placing isn't rightfully top 8, but just to make myself happy marh.. haha... I think my biggest disadvantage is not having an actual coach. I'll try seeking WINGS club and SWIFT club out for trainings if they accept me but chances are low.
And the SG Sports Sch secured a top 3 placing in nearly every event they took part in. They're supposed to be the best, so nothing surprising to mention about.
If there is one thing Gombak Stadium lacks, that is water cooler. The nearest vending machine is situated in the mrt station and I was forced to drink from the toilet's basin tap.

My eyes were on Michelle Sng almost all the time this afternoon because she pretty chio and has sexy long legs. Plus, she's a legendary high jumper in sg. She is on her way to breaking the singapore national women's high jump record. Along with her who came to the meet was Poh Seng Song whom Singapore credited him for running past the finishing line to win the 4x100m bronze placing in the last SEA games.

This video is for you* !
I know you* like the song and I've finally got it in my blog, so yAY!
Just want you* to enjoy it..tt's all...

hAI! just 5hours have passed since my last entry and I thought I missed out something real important.

It's about yesterday afternoon where I went to turf city to support our jj x-country runners in their biggest event- national schs x-country
I had quite high hopes for the boys because their 5km timings are quite competitive but in the end only wilson came in 19 followed closely behind by other teammates. Darren the newcomer in the jj team came in last but i believe in his potential. he's serious and damn muscular la.. reminds me of a tanglin tracker's build.
Valerie gave me and chin hong her digi cam so that we can take photos of e runners when they are finishing. The most funny thing is that I only captured 5 out of the 6 guys. Then I kept thinking until I asked chin hong who I missed out... Wilson, Sophea, Soch Chea, Kenny, Darren.
OH Akrum ! he came in third just ahead of soch chea as i recalled..that's why I couldn't shoot fast enuff =X
There was 2 hua yi gals i was looking out for during the event because they were featured in the newspaper and have unrivalled timings of 16mins+ And thanks to my luck i saw one of them crossing the finish point. I bet'cha are the treasure of that neighbourhood sch...

After everything was over we walked so far out of turf city and waited in eternity for 154 to get to clementi central. We were told Mr Ang will give us all a treat *yum-yum* No one except me knows how to get to the s-11 food court situated deep inside the area. More than half the track team was following me and I was so stressed when we walked deeper and closer to the intended dining venue. Imagine what will they'll do to me if I led them to the wrong place. Some other JJ ppl were joining us and a spotted 2 ACJC and one RJC gal dining with us too. But nonetheless Mr Ang paid for everything on the 3 tables occupied by nearly 30 of us. Now this is what I call a good character to treat people not even related to us..

waw ! skool rox today !

'cause I went for track meeting after morning assembly which turned out to be a double-birthday celebration for 2 of my seniors. Savoured a slice of chocolate cake and no...yuko don't drool now k? haha..the seniors are so active and fun ! It's so fun being with them... but quite a no. of them not running for e team anymore because they opted to study.

'cause my c maths is finally catching up with what e teacher is teaching and I'll try not to let go of this study momentum

'cause stanley, ce rong, eddy and OMG yuko have chosen the same pc time slot as mine !

'cause my teacher for the last lesson let us off half an hour earlier at 1.00pm. She gave so much privileges to my class in the 1st 3 mths and now lor :)

-> YukO
Of course i'm the best ! I'm superman remembered? "Chao-ren" is me except that I don't wear my underwear outside larh gahahaa.. Oh ya, guess what sia...today I saw you quite a few times and you were like sort of glancing back @ me. Then I was thinking, " Huh??! Aiyo...am i going to say hi to you or wad??" Maybe yuko's big eyes scared my guts away haha...

-->lYn2
yarh come to think of that, ms chai was actually damn caring at times. Dislocating my elbow actually gave me a chance to get closer to our dear monitor, Junwei ! It was only after that period of time when junwei helped me alot... gave me confidence to get back on track in my studies... As one old saying goes, true friends surface when you are in trouble ;)

---> ShAn
lost at what to say haha...oPPSs..haha. So how's your studies coming along? still in netball?train hard and enjoy e time in TSS. hehe i rmbered i mistaken you for adeline muahaha...coz i thought adeline looks like a "shanning"

---->Everyone who supports me
Guys, I did a double personal best in high jump !! YAY man !
Here's what happened la..my pb was 1.53m
then during training just now I tried 1.50m. It looked quite low as compared from previous training... so strange lor.. then i cleared it 3 times consecutively.
Next 1.55m. Went over thrice too
1.60m. First jump was a damn foul one. I swept down the bar with my right hand on my way up the crossbar. CHin hong and ZUi backed from long jump pit le...I was preparing at e start point and both of them was like standing by the mattress waiting to see me jump. Straight run, curve run, take-off, arch over bar and lands on e mattress. I peeked at the bar before hitting the matt. and it was like bouncing up and down on the stands. Miracly, it stabilised and there goes another new pb height !
My high jump competition debut is on this Saturday ! A new pb at 1.60m will surely keep up my morale for sat's showdown. :) U can't imagine how ecstatic I am now !! Geeheehe
And the hockey coach asked if I was the only jumper in JJ and I was nodding away as I dragged my steps out of the changing room...???huH?? oH yes ! gahaha..
One of the things I want to achieve in JJ is to be recognised as a high jumper. I only hope that people will walk past me and say, "Hey, he's that high jumper !" I dun1 a reputation but just a brand name.
