courage

2006-01-02T01:28:00.000+08:00

heard a very interesting story. so this is how it goes.

a guy (not singaporean, probably some foreigner) was sitting for the A levels GP paper.

The question asked: What is courage?

He wrote one line. Yup just one. And handed the paper up.

He got an A.

This is what he wrote:

"This is courage."

The Year of the Chicken

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Before looking to the future, we often search into the past, and find the many lessons learnt before moving on.

Another year has gone, another year will come. But the year gone was quite a year too.

The start of it was plainly bowling bowling bowling. First three months in fact were preoccupied with it. Well as usual, ended the position we ought to so it was a fair performance, but not without much hard work put in by everyone.

Going to milo with about half the team was great too! really had fun with everyone and i'm sure everyone else felt the same way. Hopefully can do the same next year!

Anyway to my teammates, it's been a great four years. Been really glad to work in such a great team.

Anyways, with the end of Nationals came our focus onto studies. And more significantly: O levels. can still remember the horror of taking it the first time. Couldn't sleep at all the night before and rolled rolled rolled in bed. This was during the chinese paper.

Well lots of studying studying studying. Quite fun actually. Would usually sneak off to macs then study there till lyk 7am. Or well studying at Jurong Library. O levels has really been quite a taxing period of time with lots of motivation needed and lots of determination added in as well. It hasn't been easy and i don't think it ever will be, but it was one major highlight of the year - one that i don't really wanna relieve. Haha alrights now just keeping my fingers crossed till february or march and hope for the best!

Of course there has been many more events that were major highlights. AEIQ, RGSJI Convention, the so many camps, age group... its been quite an eventful year, one with many ups and downs, and altogether very enriching and fun.

SAJC? haha the year ahead shld be quite interesting? new sch and everything. but of course i hope some things stay the same. Hmmm alright its time to catch some sleep. Good night everyone and have a good year ahead!

airport delay

2005-12-28T00:49:00.000+08:00

well if u read the news lately you would have realised that south korea and japan are currently in a season of snowstorms and really bad weather.

and to be stuck in the midst of it all was really a queer experience.

it was day III of my trip and i was on the southernmost city of South Korea - Jeju Island. Well as the name suggests, it is an island on its own and waters surround every inch of it.

Jeju to Seoul takes about 50 minutes, and in Seoul there are two airports - Incheon which is an international one and Gimpo which is for domestic purposes.

The day before it was already a snowstorm in jeju. The winds were howling and the snow was raining into your face. And golly it was cold. Freezing would be a better word.

You know when the inside of the bus is warmer than the external temperature outside of it, then the inside windows will have water vapour well on the windows. But then it was so cold until all the water vapour froze and the windows were covered with a layer of ice. impressive eh?

So our flight was scheduled to depart 0720 bound for Gimpo. Morning call was fixed at 0500. So we duly woke up at gathered at the lobby at 0600. Then we were told to wait. wait and wait. So sulken faced everyone was due to an obvious lack of sleep, and we practically stoned there.

Then it turned to many trips to and fro from lobby to room back to lobby to room... and it was finally 1230 when we left the hotel. Confirmed flight at 1635 for Incheon and it turned out to be quite a view at the airport.

It was crowded beyond well what you could call crowded. okay maybe that's an exaggeration. but still it was really crowded and u could see on the departure board that many flights had the word "cancelled" beside it. and many else were "processing" - very few had "boarding".

well it was really messy. no places to sit and no trolleys for you to put yer luggage on. it was worse after having checked everything in and when entering the gates. pple were running around and airport staff were rushing the late ones onto planes. Again there were no seats. So we had to contend with the floor.

So more pple rushed by and onto planes and the messiness of the situation was quite intriguing. Many many many announcements were made and then i remembered some groups of lyk 100 children coming in and sitting on one big empty space (Thus it was no longer empty) and everything became more squeezy and stuff.

Luckily i managed to find a seat and had music and a nice little book for company.

It was near four when there was an announcement for my flight. The gate was changed and obviously sum pple din hear it coz it was noisy and possibly in korean (well i din hear it myself, only told of it).

So the scent of the aircraft finally put an end to the 9 hours of misery and i slept throughout the ride.

And that was one little experience at the airport. One that you don't usually get to view at peaceful (uneventful) Changi and one that you possibly only see on the Amazing Race. One that I'll remember for some time to come.

Oh yeah. If you plan on visiting korea, visit jeju. It's beautiful.

Korea = 19 - 26.12.2005

冬季恋歌..秋天的童话..天国的阶梯..

这些都是非常著名的连续剧

都是非常著名的韩国的连续剧

对了就是刚从韩国回来... 好好玩!!

yep back from korea! woooo white scenic pure + cold.

okay i'll try to blog a mixture of english and chinese. although it will be difficult i think in the end will stick to one, but nvm can try!

first day was so so so so so sian.

of course that is everyone's favourite.

but i din get to take it

but this ain't so bad.

it was the airport that was super horrigible. the way they stamp the passports take longer than the sun to set. seriously waiting in queue took 1 + 1/2 hours.

landed at 5am. onli left the airport at 7am.

aniwaes we had a domestic flight to catch. and it was at 1120. imagine the waiting.

..........W...................A............................I.............................T..............

yup. so that's one whole morning wasted.

visited some rock place or wad. nothign much relli and consequently had an early night (man shld have known such moments came rare)

所以呢第二天到了.. 好早就得起身!!

到了不懂什么什么山... 风景非常的漂亮.. 可是也很累因为得爬很高.. 氧气非常细腻.. 到了山顶后有一段时间是感觉到头晕.. 还好过了一阵子就恢复正常了..

真的是很高.. 如果没记错的话, 大约有1800m above sea level. (哎哟华语不会讲)

就是在这个时候开始狂风暴雨 ~~ 错了 - 是狂风暴雪! 哈新发明的成语!!

过后去到了他们当地的民俗村.. 好漂亮! 而且在狂雪!!

真的是非常非常的漂亮!!

可是坏处是衣服会完全变白色:

的确很麻烦.. 背包也是一样.. 很难扫掉.. 一直黏在衣服和包包上..

但是非常值得!! 太漂亮了!!

The 3rd day was the worst. our flight was scheduled at 720 but it onli took off at 1635. that's more than nine hours. bad bad bad. and we couldn't even like sleep coz every hour we had to be awake waiting for our tour guide to rush to us and tell us to rush to the airport.

bad.

aniwae. it was skiing the next day. hurrah? ha wait.

okay we were staying at yong pyong skiing resort. the place where one of the most famous korean dramas ever was shot.

Winter Sonata 冬季恋歌

the price of skating. absolutely out of this world.

rental of attire: 32000 won (about 50+ sing)
rental of gear: 25000 won (about 40+ sing)

total for one person: 100 sing.

just for three hours. crazy stuff.

aniwae it was great. GREAT. skiied for three hours and felt it still wasn't enuff. can't relli count the number of times i fell down but its haha quite a lot but still it was great!

okay basically the rest of the trip was boring.

真的.. 太差了.. 回到汉城时, 只有shopping.. 没什么了..

好吧.. 欣赏多一点, 我也想睡了..

其实这个游程因为有了雪才会非常值得.. 最后几天真是非常的差... 那里的食物又不是说很好吃.. 而且天气又特别冷.. 有时还蛮厌倦的..

可是这次有机会了解当地的文化.. 了解简简单单过生活的乐趣和意义.. 也体验语言不通的困难.. 非常有趣..

但在最终我会最难忘的是那里的雪..

The weather's been below freezing point.

and its been snowing everyday.
and its not exactly those snow u see in movies where u just stand there and the snow nicely falls onto you. it's those where you stand there and the snow blows right into your face coz its more like a snowstorm.

having lots of moisturizer on yer face doesn't help either.

and ytd a flight scheduled for 7.30am took off at 4.30pm. 9 hours delay. more about this next time...

BUT

it's been really really beautiful. the snow being everywhere makes everything so pure and white and really makes the trip worth. and to top it off - snowball fights! ahaha

okay MERRY CHRISTMAS pple! have a nice winter! =D

weather forcast

2005-12-02T23:27:00.000+08:00

the wind's howling. the rain can't stop falling. and there's nuthing no one can do about it.

the weather's pretty bad recently huh? sudden rains which go away after just a few drops of water and which come back again soon when we think that it is all over.

the wind is horrigible. been slamming all the doors and windows in my house shut. seriously. i think some tree must have fallen down sumwhere.

alright last training for two weeks i believe? all thanks to milo. and this thursday it is. came pretty early coz ain't having loads of holidays in between, but hey - it should be fun right? dreaming of winning that RM90 000. ha if only.

haven't gotten my hands on the new s.h.e album yet. really been disloyal. bad. but i've been spending too much money recently for any comfort in my wallet. burning holes. unnecessary taxi rides and stuff. looks like i hafta wait for my milo allowance. lol can't wait!

still stuck on harry and his pots. making late nights thanks to it. can't really help though. real hookish book. can't help but get hooked ya.

just found out an interesting fact. when writing a letter, most of us would add some last liner at the bottom after signing out name by putting P.S. then whatever.

ever wonder what it stands for? well supposedly it stands for postscripts. Occurring after the closing formulae and salutation, they form a last addition to the contents of the letter.

cool eh.

the conversion of spinner to hook is getting a lil frustrating. can't seem to get the rev that you picture so dearly in the back of your mind and everyone's staring at you like some kinda newbie to bowling. OKAY! patience yewliang. aniwae was contemplating between spinner and hook at milo. and obviously i have settled on my old and faithful spin. hopefully still have it going after a bit of a break. RM90 000.

P.S. the rain is back. how i wish it were snow.

sick of cine

2005-12-01T22:09:00.000+08:00

can't bother blogging. boring days.

aniwae my nights have been spent reading about the boy who lived. yup the one who defeated You-Know-Who - harry potter. obviously harry potter fans are now going: "WHAT! were you only born yesterday???"

okay fine i haven't read any of the books before. im feeling guilty enuff. nvm i shall redeem myself by finishing goblet of fire by sunday! that makes it four books in one week. brilliant.

aniwae found out albus dumbledore enjoys tenpin bowling.

WOW. haha how cool is dat. the greatest wizard in the world likes tenpin bowling. imagine:

sorry obviously my photo editing skills are below zero.

hah tenpin bowling is the greatest game in the world!

wanna go to the ball with me?

2005-11-29T22:14:00.000+08:00

since everyone is bloggin bout prom, ha i shall too!

presenting: yewliang's prom post!

aha. pple from sji and a few other informative pple would obviously catch the catch in the phase above. because sji does not have any prom! or graduation dinner for that matter.

yes i repeat: no dinner.

well done sji. but then. why am i surprised? wait. im not surprised. why am i so used to this? always doing things to "stand out" from other schools. and somehow along the way managing to psycho the many josephians into having the mindset that its perfectly normal. hell you should hear the reasons for not having a dinner:

1) too expensive. seriously - i heard this. c'mon who are you joking? i think even neville longbottom(dumbest boy in the history of hogwarts) will snigger at such a joke. okay not to say the school's really rich but you can't say sji's poor can you? when students pay $150 a month, you don't really expect the school to be poor.

2) sji students will turn the place upside down. OH PLZ. which sch isn't worried about that? and u know how they solve it? they have teachers attending the event. this obviously will have a self-control effect on students. personally this is an even dumber excuse than the first.

3) by having a dinner means having to get the students to pay and thus the poor students will be left out. wow showing some maturity here. but yet - c'mon which school doesn't face such a situation? most schools pay between the 40 - 80 dollar range, and im sure our school falls within that category too. aniwae hasn't the school always had a financial scheme to help the more needy pupils within the community? if they can supply school fees for 4 years, wads a graduation dinner to them?

alright alright yewliang so yer doing those sji posts again. so sue me? curse me? cast a spell on me?

aniwae wads so great about having a prom or dinner? isn't it just so overrated by everybody? its just one night out thats all...

WRONG

so so wrong. it marks a final chapter in a school and its importance has been proven by the very fact that i haven't seen a school not having one. (imagine the suaning you get from pple who find out that yer GREAT sch does not have one)

SJI pple(cries and wails): NO WAD! where got only our school! all those neighbourhood schools oso don't have prom wad...

obviously this school transcends itself in a world of its own. (and living in a world of independent schs are king and neighbourhood schs are losers mindset) for i haven't seen a neighbourhood school not holding a prom. okay i may be wrong. for obviously i don't have contacts with every single sch in sg. so there might be that one or two other sch that doesn't have a prom or dinner, but hey that onli constitutes a meagre 1 or 2 % of the entire schooling population in singapore! and if this makes that 1 or 2% really special, then i think the sky will fall and singapore will win the world cup.

okay i mean no malice to the sch. and im beginning to love it now. it only gets better eveyday.

sick

2005-11-28T14:09:00.000+08:00

downed with fever. blocked nose and sore throat too.

lol still went over to renny's house to celebrate his birthday... albeit having to feel like dying throughout the entire experience.

okay lar it wasn't that bad. just felt cold. and couldn't really eat. we went to a restaurant nearby which sold fabulous prata and nasi lemak (even recommended by taufik on some show)... and i ordered two pratas and they gave me three. how smart. wasted $1.50. now im angry...

had a little cake which was not bad actually. played xbox and i soon went to sleep. oh man i felt like a human oven - felt really toasted from head to toe - i think you could put an egg on my body and it would have cooked! by the nxt morning luckily my sickness died down. well at least i managed to skip training! muahaha...

why do you feel cold when you have a fever?

good deeds

2005-11-27T00:02:00.000+08:00

wierd outing today...

as usual i was late - and ended up having to endure cindy khoo's blaberring for more than half an hour...

so we met up wif august joel rae gwen in heeren... and then the nightmare begun.

you know how it feels accompanying three tai-tais-to-be for shopping in the heart of orchard road? oh man. u dun wanna know.

but before that we slacked at swensens for quite some time...

luckily august and joel were there to accompany me in the horror... haha but at least we redeemed ourselves by eating great chicken rice at bukit timah and pooling! wooo legally too...

Hermione Granger asks in the end, half an eye on Ron, "So, everything's going to change now, isn't it?"

somehow i thought that was the best part of the movie.

matter of factly.

2005-11-26T00:42:00.000+08:00

been online for two hours and totally forgot about the business of blogging...

left for victors at around 11.20 and realised i was gonna be late! oh man wasted money on a dumb taxi ride which i could have saved upon if i hadn't indulged myself in that jacky wu show... wahaha but it was hilarious.

aiyo just watching jacky wu can make u laugh.

now watch:

ahahaha... hilarious.

so seemingly upon reaching victors (late)... they had already begun their team talk. u know how that feels? its onli yer second trng and hafta leave a bad impression. .... technical training... one that involved a lot of talking and not much bowling... but nevertheless my ball is improving yet again! woo... feel the rev!!! feel feel!!!!

haha laugh again...

went chinatown wif the guys after that... real great meal at maxwell road... the char kway teow is relli relli relli superb...

u guys shld try it too... but rmbr to buy the 3 dollar plate... the 2.50 one relli is damn small... (i fell for the trick... thought wldn't make much of difference) haha... typical kiasu singaporean trying to save a meagre 50 cents.

okay i know! fats cholesterol... heart disease... diabetes... kidney failure...

but its nice. oooh feel the "hum" squirting its juice out in yer mouth once u sink yer teeth into it...

walked chinatown after that... man u shld relli see the place... so many foreigners! wonder how come they enjoy such places of tourism... makes singapore seem like such a lousy place to visit... aei wait!!! singapore's quite boring huh? well we have sentosa? n fort canning park? n the zoo? n the bird park? (oh of coz - largest man made waterfall in SEA! all of 30m!) anithing else?

our country's quite boring huh?

hey yewliang! wads this... you shld be a proud ambasaddor and citizen of such a beautiful garden city!

of coz singapore's not that boring. the food alone can keep you occupied for one month! galore galore! so many dishes to sample - from the chinese communities' famous katong laksa and chicken rice, to the malay communities' nasi lemak... and not to forget the indians' favourite nasi lemak!

haha see i've been a good citizen! wooo... okay im hungry.

-.-"

after chinatown played a bit at xsquare before heading home.

well been googling and found some stuff about my coach... wahahaha this is my coach:

head coach, SAJC - Mr Henry Tan.

wahaha one day i'm gonna show him this.

come to think of it - he looks like Japan's prime minister - Junichiro Koizumi...

okay lar a bit. the hair especially.

wahahaha... just thought of uncle ronnie wif his spiked hair. wahahaha...

lalala... hoho this is fun.

been watching dance videos... courtesy of swl... lol obviously pple seem to like to watch gay english teachers dance.

bad bad omen... wahahaha but aniwae couldn't freaking hook the ball at all... dunno what happened to my earlier lift and roll... but nvm... getting a better understanding and feel of things...

lift lift lift!!!! don't turn!!!! those words keep ringing in my mind...

ahhhh must train hard man... milo's coming up and totally have no scores at all...

haha then might as well don't bowl and save the money for shopping! hmmm that's quite a good idea actually...

SAJC! it's turning out to be quite a ride... even before the actual thing starts...

expeditors

2005-11-22T22:47:00.000+08:00

tired. lethargic. can't even move.

came back from class chalet in the afternoon and i still feel sleepy...

well it was rather okay lar... but one trip made the whole thing all worthwhile...

first day - met up with the rest of the guys and upon checking in... we immediately went to rent bikes! ahaha... quit cheap... 10 bucks for one entire day... but then the bikes weren't exactly in very good condition - but nevertheless - very worth...

so off we went cycling for about an hour and a little more? then went back to slacken around before bbq began... well i din go for it coz met up wif swl for bowling! ahaha the lanes were dry as if it were the sahara desert... seriously... so ended up bowling spinner... and having to owe one milo... haha lol...

talked for a while at the beach and tried to search for stars before heading back... then it was routine stuff again - cards, tv, ps2... lalala...

until about 2am? wahahaha that was when the fun started... okay so one group of us (13) decided to go cycling! and it turned out to be an expedition... so from east coast park - we cycled for 2 hrs all the way to changi village! that's at least 20 km... and it was relli tiring... butt ached... back ached... thighs ached... legs ached... it was really taking a toll and upon reaching changi village - it felt like heaven! haha ate ate ate drank drank and den most slept... haha while some of us went around exploring the interesting things that inhabit the area... wahahaha i think some of u might understand this...

lol so we set foot back at 5 and reached back at 7... tried to watch the sunrise but failed disastrously (where's the sun?)... so off it was to sleep.

and sleep it would be for me until it was 1pm... lol cards tv and stuff again before finally packing up to go home! phew tiring tiring tiring...

tomolo there's sch again!!! and den SAJC wants us to start training... wth... so early! but nvm... shldn't complain too much haha...

goblet of fire

2005-11-20T03:02:00.000+08:00

wooo! juz caught harry potter... yup free tix summore! hahaha but wif advertisements included... lol...

u know how it feels to watch a movie in a theatre wifout trailers at the start? yup rare feeling coz i think it hardly ever happens (unless the cinema screws up)... ahaha and i felt it just now! wah damn shiok... straightaway the warner brothers icon showed on the screen... wahahaha no trailers!

okay that was rather out of point... hmmm i went wif my swl partner... haha lol... and the film?

well...

to be honest - it was rather rushed... quiddich world cup was super rushed lar! they showed such an exciting way of them getting there then they showed such a magnificent stadium den straightaway jump to the ending liao... diao...

the yule ball oso quite errrr... a bit rushed? din even know that harry asked that indian gal to go to the ball... and din rmbr seeing hermoine and ron relli quarrel? den suddenly hermoine cried... zzzzz... that's so out of character lar - hermoine cry?

then dat stupid dumbledore was damn fierce... suddenly lyk sirius black and dumbledore changed souls... wierd....

but overall? well - firstly - it feels like everyone has grown up... now all know how to wear more revealing outfits? haha... hermoine lor and her gown... haha n then that fleur in her swimsuit... then harry having a nude scene? haha sooner or later this is gonna become an NC-16 show...

i guess the show mainly wanted to showcase the value of friendship... and the ending was also quite emotional i guess... very ironic ending - everyone was cheering when both of them returned... but then din realise that the cedric guy died... den when it was announced... woosh silence went over the crowd... really emotionally unbalanced and contrasting and that relli made the ending a credible one...

haha after that we went for a small supper - ate sum asparagus and i think we almost vommitted? okay lar a bit exaggerate... haha wah im becoming broke... spent quite a lot ytd n today... luckily had free tixs or it would have been worse... lol

sonny's staying over! wahaha and he still got papers on tuesday... lol wth... so guess wad we did? we went macs to study! hahaha yar but i read storybooks lor... not bad lar at least nvr play much! ahaha...

oh man. i lurve this song.

珊瑚海 - 周杰伦/Lara
曲：周杰伦词：方文山编：钟兴民

(Jay) 海平面远方开始阴霾悲伤要怎么平静纯白
我的脸上始终挟带一抹浅浅的无奈

(Lara) 你用唇语说你要离开(心不在)
那难过无声慢了下来
汹涌潮水你听明白不是浪而是泪海

(合) 转身离开 (你有话说不出来)
分手说不出来海鸟跟鱼相爱只是一场意外
我们的爱(给的爱) 差异一直存在 (回不来)
风中尘埃 (等待) 竟累积成伤害

(合) 转身离开 (分手说不出来) 分手说不出来
蔚蓝的珊瑚海错过瞬间苍白
当初彼此(你我都) 不够成熟坦白 (不应该)
热情不再 (你的) 笑容勉强不来爱深埋珊瑚海

(Jay) 毁坏的沙雕如何重来有裂痕的爱怎么重盖
只是一切结束太快你说你无法释怀

(Lara) 贝壳里隐藏什么期待 (等花儿开)
我们也已经无心再猜
面向海风碱碱的爱尝不出还有未来

(合) 转身离开 (你有话说不出来)
分手说不出来海鸟跟鱼相爱只是一场意外
我们的爱(给的爱) 差异一直存在 (回不来)
风中尘埃 (等待) 竟累积成伤害

(合) 转身离开 (分手说不出来)
分手说不出来蔚蓝的珊瑚海错过瞬间苍白
当初彼此(你我都) 不够成熟坦白 (不应该)
热情不再 (你的) 笑容勉强不来爱深埋珊瑚海

malcolm rd massacre

2005-11-09T22:52:00.000+08:00

The Shanghai Massacre occured in March 1927 after Chiang Kai Shek seized Shanghai at the end of the Northern Expedition. A general strike broke out, and authorities responded by sending out execution squads to kill suspected communists. Confusion was present everywhere and the CCP leaders, who had no real idea of the situation, forbade any resistance to the KMT. Thus thousands were killed and the First United Front collapsed.

that was almost 80 years ago.

time machine *vroom vroom*

(80 years later)

The Malcolm Road Massacre occured on 9 November 2005, just as 60 students were sitting for their history 2158 O Levels exam. Before 2.00pm, excitement and anxiety filled the air, as students made their last minute efforts to remember the contents in their history file. Their history teacher was on hand to provide a morale boost just before the paper commenced, and gave out sweets in a bid to soften the mood and cushion the blow that the students were soon to face.

At 2.00pm, at the sound of the gun, papers flipped and cries of wails filled the air. Students stared at blank amazement at the lack of questions to answer and continued flipping aimlessly, in the hope that a light would appear at the end of the tunnel.

But alas, things were not to be and students had no choice but to contend with reality and continue with the paper. At 4.30pm, as the nightmare was brought to a close, hoardes of screams were heard and it left one to wonder whether they were cheering for joy at the achievement of having accomplished a history paper, or letting out their anger and frustration that had been bottled up within them for two-and-a-half hours.

wonder why i'm all nagging about this. However it was just pure craziness. 100% A1? ha u must be in dreamland.

but i dunno why it pains so much. after putting in so much efforts throughout these two years on this subject, i'm sure the whole class feels the same. all the late nights and trading of notes and class tests and everything else. i dunno. it's been one hell of a subject and only those who have gone through it will know how crazy it feels. those times when we work so so so hard and all we aimed for was a C6 - and somehow we were happy with that.

that time when all of us sat for our first test - versailles and nobody pased. the TA1 results where nobody even got a D7. the screams when everyone passed prelims. wow. it's been hell of a roller coaster ride and one that has been truly memorable.

maybe we will be the batch that becomes infamous for not having that elusive 100% A1. but so wad? the dedication put into this subject will be unrivalled by any other, and for that matter it is truly applaudable and definitely deserved of somethinge even better than an A1.

so u see? the moral of the story is:

NEVER SPOT for an exam. Proven during SS, again during 2158. Spotting does the world no good - coz nothing expected ever comes out. Growth of Nations? nah. World War II? nah. Stalin? nah.

now lets complete the Os in style.

crisis? what crisis?

2005-11-07T22:22:00.000+08:00

okay i know i'm not supposed to blog. but then i would be letting myself down if i did not blog about this.

i guess these words summarise it all:

crisis? what crisis?

yup. after suffering a massacre at the hands of middlesbrough and defeat at paris at the hands of lille, it was turning out to be a nightmare for sir alex and co.

after all, chelsea were next on the agenda and their league form had been nothing short of spectacular this season, with their only dropped points having come from a stalemate with everton.

captain keane also seemed to have turned in the towel against his own team, and launched a stirring attack against many of his teammates. thus with almost everything that could be thrown against the red devils thrown against them, it seemed almost improbable that they'd be able to pull off a miracle at old trafford.

but miracles do happen don't they?

and they could not have found an even more appropriate venue - the theatre of dreams. and dreams ever so willingly - they do come true.

miraculous? lucky? whatever you say. but manchester united, with the full support of the old trafford faithful, showed the world the class that they are in and pulled off something that no other team has done in the premiership this season - to beat chelsea fc.

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

well so much for a morale booster. everyone was high today in school after learning of man u's credible victory. lalala - but all came to nothing after sitting for the papers.

haha gawd. it wasn't easy. yar do-able but not easy though. SS too had that tinge of difficulty in it.

n all hail the SJI SS department! wooo! are they just shen or wad.

our sch spotted in this order:

venice, merger sepa, sustaining development, countries divided.

NO GROWTH OF NATIONS

before u actually see the paper, you'll be going like: "wtf? our sch mad ar? everi sch in sg spotting tt one n we nvr spot it."

but then. when you flipped open the paper,

NO GROWTH OF NATIONS!!!

whoa. stunned. dunno whether good or bad coz i think lotsa pple were affected. stunned.

damn today's superfunkies were so boring.

okay: history history history history history!

"just because you are paid 120 000 pounds a week, and play for 20 minutes against tottenham, you think you are a superstar"

~~~~~~ hahahahaha super hilarious plz. but only bowling pple will understand this so nvm.

okay, today i had 3 pple calling me a pig.

coz i woke up at 1.30pm - for the second day in a row.

and it was no thanks to champions league football.

so ya. im gonna go ranting. u know the result.

man u 0 - 1 lille

if that doesn't make u sit up. nothing will. and all for the wrong reasons.

so prior to the match i was boasting to my cousin that man u are gonna thrash lille (who i had thought was a belgium side initially until she reminded me it was french)... and guess wad - yup u guessed it.

okay no excuses made. united simply weren't what their name suggested and lille truly deserved the win. yup no doubt lille were physical and should have been wrestling instead of playing scocer, but that's no excuse to a poor united performance which lacked the quality of a truly great team.

dah.

dun care.

im gonna sleep soon. dun wanna be a pig for a third time. nites pple.

financial status

Liverpool 3 - 0 Anderlecht

when was the last time you saw such a scoreline?

Chelsea 0 - 1 Real Betis

NOW WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW SUCH A SCORELINE!

(yup u guessed it... it was against liverpool tt showed a similar scoreline)

damn i'm proud and happy. personally of course man u's #1... but liverpool has always been my no. 2. and gawd im proud.

it was a class performance throughout by the champions of europe, and they allowed anderlecht no chance at all. 21 shots by the men in red to a meagre 4 shots by the visitors (of which only one was on target).

chelsea - with a russian billionaire as their bankroll and with the self-acclaimed "special one" in charge, they must have been shocked with such a scoreline. Just four days after Mourinhio proudly proclaimed Lampard to be the best player in the world, complacency has done justice and Chelsea have finally suffered their first defeat of the season. This comes on the back of a recent draw with bottom-of-the-table everton and a league cup loss to charlton. The blues are definitely feeling blue now and their invincible status is fading fast.

liverpool once again showed their class and proved that they are still kings of europe. Total domination would be the right word to describe the match as Liverpool ran riot throughout anfield. However Peter Crouch once again pulled in a dismal performance and was substituted by Cisse in the second half. One can only wonder how long stron Benitez's faith remains. There was clear chemistry between the midfielders - Garcia Gerrard Sissoko and Alonso, and they also combined well with full backs Risse and Finnan to create a splendid performance throughout. Morientes showed he's back to his peak form with a brilliant goal courtesy of a world class strike - one that would make his former club Real Madrid go green with envy.

Hence it is with hope that liverpool can bring this quality of football back to the premiership.

anyway i foudn this quite fun:

felt like blogging.

2005-11-01T22:23:00.000+08:00

i feel like blogging today. as in yar. those yewliang blogs.

(which means u either run now or suffer from sore eyes later)

here goes nothing.

being a history student, you often wonder hear many stories about people saying "why you study history for?" and stuff like that.

many people seemingly think that the subject simply involves memorizing and nothing else. and its pure boring. and yada yada...

okay okay. so i often wondered too: "study history for wad ar?"

well i don't really remember where i read this, but it made quite a bit of sense.

we often study history to learn about the past, so that we can improve on the future. history isn't about memorizing facts, it is about understanding them. and thus learning from them.

and when we look in the past, we search for moments that define history. moments that change the course of the world. the industrial revolution, the two world wars and the collapse of the Berlin Wall are just to name a few.

One significant moment in time that change the course of the world started in 1955, and soon became known as the "US Civil Rights Movement".

On the 1st of December, 1955, a black lady living in Montgomery, Alabama refused to give up her seat on a bus when asked by a white man. She was eventually arrested for violating the city laws. This woman, Ms. Rosa Parks, eventually became known as the mother of the Civil Rights Movement.

When word of her arrestment reached members of the black community, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr led the town on a 382 day boycott of the local bus system. It became a huge success, and gave King national publicity.

After a few years of campaigning and further strikes and demonstrations culminated in The March on Washington in 1963. 200 000 people demonstrated in front of the Lincoln Memorial, and King made one of the most famous speeches ever in the history of mankind - "I have a dream..."

The Civil Rights Law was passed in 1964.

Of course, Martin Luther King Jr. went on to popular acclaim and worldwide fame for being the leader of the American Civil Rights Movement and also a receipiant of the nobel peace prize.

But all this would not have occured if not for the actions of Ms. Rosa Parks. The simple action of refusing to stand up changed the history of the world, and serves as a gentle reminder that every action that we commit ourselves to is significant, it might seem small initially, but could result in having a deep impact on the lives of others.

Ms Rosa Parks died peacefully on the 24th of October, 2005. She was 92.

okay okay. macdonalds from 4am last night for three hours wif sonny. met shiqi and his other friends there. haha rather unproductive coz eyes kept closing but not bad lar. finished one essay.

oh man. i am dead. and this time - there ain't no pun intended.

okay i've slacked my butt off this time. and if there's any chance of survival - it's gonna require a miracle.

hai dun think i can even maintain my prelims score.

well so in the midst of all the frantic chaos, a plan came to my mind. and here's how it looks like.

Operation Survival

i) Finish ALL history essays by Thursday.
ii) Then TRY to finish SS
iii) On Monday, TRY to remember all history essays.

Lala. Po.

okay okay! imagine.

champions... still?

2005-10-30T02:41:00.000+08:00

I'm warning you personally. Do not read this post. Seriously - I'm only experimenting with my writing skills. (ha what skills?)

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

man u 4 - 1 middlesbrough

that kind of a score line would look pretty acceptable.

man u 1 - 4 middlesbrough

hell u think? no way? crazy? impossible?

man u have once again defied the odds. by losing by four goals to almost NUTHING.

for a moment i thought that Hasselbaink and partners had switched teams with Rooney and co.

WTF MAN. if i were a travelling fan watching from The Riverside, then i would have:

a) demanded an immediate refund of match ticket + travelling expenses
b) thrown a banana at Park Ji-Sung and hoped that it hit Rooney as well
c) felt that the soul of Graeme Souness had taken over Ferguson as the manager of United. (I don't think Newcastle fans will understand this joke)

the only consolation for man u is that they scored their 1000th premiership goal.

so back they go to Old Trafford to face Chelsea next week - and judging by the scoreline this week, it's gonna be a huge thrashing. 8 - 0 u reckon?

looking at the statistics, it seems rather hilarious. Middlesbrough attempted 7 shots, of which 4 were on target. Guess what - they scored four goals. United with 14 shots and 8 on target only made one touch the back of the net. It only goes to show two things.

1) United's woeful defending. No wonder Ferguson decided to take Ferdinand off in place of Wes Brown, who's defensive record is so woeful that even Ruud Van Nistelrooy could defend better than him. (For the record - Ferdinand cost United 29.1 million pounds)
2) United's unproductive strike force. Combining the talents of Rooney and the magical touch of Van Nistelrooy did not pay dividends today. Thus 45 million pounds down the drain. In fact it took a midfielder who is currently being charged for rape to open the scoring for United - but then again too little too late.

United were definitely seeing red today - in the form of the red hot middlesbrough. Also with this defeat, they failed to capitalise on the draw between spurs and arsenal, and the defeat charlton suffered at the hands of bolton - which could have seen united climb up to third place, behind runaway leaders Chelsea and Wigan (yes its Wigan... no need to rub yer eyes - u ain't seeing stars)

Furthermore Wigan have one game in hand - and a victory would mean that they close the gap between 1st and 2nd to six points - definitely an assailable lead by any means.

Who said Chelsea had already won the premiership?

So this brings us back to United, who were judged by many as the only real contender to prevent Chelsea from defending their title. I guess now they can only look to newly promoted Wigan as the only hope.

Newly promoted side Wigan have once again showed their calibre and strong will and determination by overcoming high flying Fulham, who had just beaten Liverpool soundly one week before, as they scored the solitary goal of the game in the 90th minute. Tyco u reckon? Well all i can say is that they seem a reminiscence of the Everton of 2004, where 1-0 seemed to be their lucky number.

Bolton leapfrogged Charlton in the tight premiership race as their solid defence once again proved decisive as they held off Charlton, who showed that they severely lacked something in their strike force when top scorer Darren Bent did not play due to injury. Captain Kevin Nolan scored the decisive goal in the 72nd minute.

Robert Pires, who suffered a backlash last week when he made an amusement of a penalty, came this time to the rescue of the gunners as his goal in the 77th minute helped Arsenal cancel out a 17th minute header by Spurs captain Ledley King.

However, this was definitely not the kind of result Arsene Wenger and his men were looking for as they struggle to gain a foothold in a season which has seen them all but concede the title to league leaders Chelsea.

Then again, looking at their dismal first half performance, one should have been happy to leave White Hart Lane with a point.

Tottenham once again showed their class and that they were true contenders for the Champions League spot but failed to finish well and thus dropped two potential points which would have seen them tied with Wigan for the 2nd spot in the league.

Chelsea rounded up a poor week with a routine performance which saw Lampard shine once again. They won 4 - 2 over a determined Blackburn and Mourinho soon hailed Lampard as "the best player in the world"

Everton followed up on a draw with leaders Chelsea last week with a win over Birmingham. This is only their second win in god-knows how many games but will do them much of a favour in helping them push out of the relegation zone.

Liverpool capped off a dismal week, which included consecutive losses to Fulham and Crystal Palace, with a 2 - 0 win at West Ham, and took some pressure off Rafael Benitez's shoulders. For once, Peter Crouch was left on the bench with the more experienced Morientes taking his place, and Captain Gerrard once again inspired his side to victory, and showed the true abilities of European champions. They need more performances like this if they are going to have any hopes of salvaging their season.

For now, its Wigan Wigan Wigan!

Afterworld

2005-10-30T00:40:00.000+08:00

spent my whole night watching tv. but it was worth the time.

was watching a documentary on national geographic on 911 - the planning, the execution and the aftermath.

rather detailed - it took three hours to finish the film.

well i must admit the film featured a pro-american viewpoint, which thus might be a little unreliable. but hey - we all live in a pro-american society, so yeah the pieces all make sense thus i guess.

very detailed planning into the most devastating terrorist attack in the history of the world - took 6 and a half years to prepare for the execution.

zero hour arrived - on the 11th September 2001.

the skies were clear and it was an exciting day coz voting had begun for the new mayor of new york. however, what happened next would be on such an overwhelming scale that it would alter the course of the world.

two planes crashed into the world trade centre. one into the pentagon and one into an open field in pennsylvania.

total casualty rate - 2972.

okay i don't know why i'm narrating here. but the film was definitely very touching. they showed many footages of people jumping off from the top floors whose stairways were blocked by raging infernos of fire.

indeed four years have passed since then. i rmbr my mum waking me up at around 10pm at night and i managed to witness live via cable tv the two towers collapsing into heaps of dust - leaving a mushroom cloud which triggered memories of hiroshima and nagasaki - two incidents which left a mountain of devastation, and changed the history of the world.

dejavu u think?

okay time to do work.

drifting

2005-10-28T22:33:00.000+08:00

im drifting so much i might as well go be a sailor

slept for onli five hours today... and was really hungry throughout the day. don't know if that contributed to my drifting.

aniwae today's library session was one of the most unproductive in weeks and we ended up having drifted off to somewhere in the maldives.

okay okay. i can no longer play wheel of fortune on msn. damn mi 14 days free trial is over. well maybe if i am willing to fork out $19.99 to play for one more year... haha and it must be off my parent's credit cards too.

my maid left this morning... for home. and i don't think we're getting a new one anytime soon. that only spells bad news for the spoilt brat in me. so now my list of duties include mopping of floor, washing of dishes and cleaning of clothes.

and my mum already started to complain bout the hard word. lol then i asked her to hire another maid and she said "NO! must teach u all to be independent"...

im predicting before long she's gonna go bonkers after not having to bother about chores for a decade... so before long - tada - new maid! lol i wish.

okay okay lar! yewliang! stop acting like a spoilt brat and start working.

damn i shld have taken time off today to see her off at the airport... but owells i decidedly went to sleep.

talking about sleep. sleep is good. i bet most of u are nodding yer head right now. *nod nod*... this reminds me of noddy the plastic round round guy dat i last saw in kids central a few years ago. okay back to sleep. sleep is what i lack right now. and when u lack something u seek to replenish it.

bah im rambling.

nites~

seriously, i am tired to the extent that i could just jump down from the top of the empire state building and hit the concrete floor without feeling a single bit of uncomfort.

it is going to be 6am soon and this com would have then been turned on for eight hours. Half of the time it has blasted off music from my library of Jay Chou's songs.

therefore i conclude that it is time for me to enter into a world of my own.

tata.

measuring temperature.

2005-10-27T22:37:00.000+08:00

no place in sight

2005-10-25T22:15:00.000+08:00

im lost on the horizon - with no place in sight.
the endless rays of sunlight leading my eyes to nowhere.

maybe that's a good thing. aimlessly pointing.

especially in the wonderful web of cyberspace - where everything is endless and there are absolutely no limits.

u since once again... im drifting.

ohwells it seems so usual to me nowadays that i can't seem to bother anymore. just let some things take its natural course.

while staring into blank space - a lot of things have come into mind.

i felt like elaborating.

but now i dont feel like it anymore.

tadadalalala wad a lousy blog.

prac was rather reasonable? ya. guess so.

haha rather swl though. lol...

wah Xin Hui signed a contract with play music!!! yay okay i took quite some time to actually blog bout this... but who cares! Shi Xin Hui!!! ahhh superstar!!! wooo... can't wait for the album!

haha piracy laws flouted openly.

okay that's it for now.

a little tribute to a superstar:

2005-10-24T22:26:00.000+08:00

i'm trying my very very best to stay happy, and in the mood for examination preparations.

it's not i don't want to. but i can't help it.

it's been bothering me all day and night.

i don't think you'll get to see this. but heck it'll go down in my blog aniwae.

we needa talk. badly. and even if you refuse to, i cannot accept that lying down as it will only make things worse.

yawns.

2005-10-24T08:29:00.000+08:00

it's so early. hai why can't my head be on my pillow now and my eyes shut and my brain in wonderland?

yawns.

great im meeting glenn to study. and we're going to jurong regional library. Thus meaning that we hafta chiong there as being the typical kiasu singaporeans that we are - the tables are usually all taken up 5 mins after the goddamn library opens.

last night was great. i went cycling! zhun zhun one hour of cycling around my entire neighbourhood. From Teck Whye to CCK central and to Yew Tee and back. but obviously all the slope riding and stuff has made me damn tired can't seem to move now. lethargic muscles fail to operate.

But by any means - i feel good. Lalala...

okay cheerup pple!! - if you ain't cheerful right now. =D

remedies?

2005-10-22T22:58:00.000+08:00

im drifting a lot nowadays. can't seem to focus.

or izzit just me?

ohwell anione has any remedies? share leh. before i fail me o levels. Zzz.

thinking.

2005-10-21T23:44:00.000+08:00

im thinking.

but my mind is blank.

im serious.

drifting a lot these days. especially during moments of study.

i wanna go cycling! man or wadeva else lar. just wanna go tonning...

im dying.

friday?

2005-10-20T22:03:00.000+08:00

today feels like a friday.

dunno why....

well studied the whole day at jurong library with darryl... finished three essays and in between, read bout four books?

lol library mah... wad to do - all the books around u tempt u go read them.

im in lurve with history books... read books on martin luther king, the wall street crash, the cold war and on espionage (as in real historic spies)...

i was relli crazy last night.

okay i have a little question.

There was this muah chee (don't tell me you don't know what it is...). One day, while walking by the river, he saw a rock. The rock told the muah chee that if he ever sees him again, he will throw the muah chee into the river. Hence the muah chee became very afraid, and hid in a cave for a few days. Finally, one day, he came out of the cave, but bumped into the rock. So the muah chee got thrown into the river.

The question is: Why did the rock want to throw the muah chee into the river?

dunno?

still dunno?

relli dunno?

Because the rock shuang. That's why.

太久了

2005-10-20T00:11:00.000+08:00

今天真的是想的太多了... 太久没这样了...

可能是因为老是整天沉淀在读书的环境中...

或是否认的自然形态中...

现在发现却都只是借口...

全都是因为我只会飘浮在否认的思想下...

因此而一直忽略了回到现实生活中...

老是把事情当成理所当然似的... 老是把东西延迟... 延迟...

而不敢去面对...

反而会一直只会把自己遗失在美好的梦幻世界里...

对... 的确不简单...

对... 碰到难关是必定的...

但是... 在最终...

我还是掉进了爱情悬崖...

而且跌了太深因此爬不出来...

我也下降了太快... 所以来不及踏上未来...

你的爱反复徘徊... 这样打乱了我得呼吸节拍...

可能我试着逃开... 但在最后... 还是控制不来...

我想我真的疯了... =X

reminiscence

2005-10-19T22:50:00.000+08:00

today was definitely a reminiscence of the past.

but one that was filled with much more thought.

okay the plan was to go kbox - and then study. it was abruptly disrupted due to unforseen circumstances but yet we managed to go bowling!

lol okay met bel firstly and screamed at each other about stupid prelims... for a while till sonny decided to come - late as usual... and we bowled!

lol it was rather hilarious. shan't go into the details. the lane was undescribably pangsai - ball hooked even without reaching 30 feet.

therefore threw spinner all the way - lol glad still have a tit touch of it.

SPINNERS RULE THE WORLD!!!

after that we ate at teck whye, then studied at lot one - practically touring the neighbourhood.

well of coz studying like that means talking half of the time, and this time it was rather interesting.

reminiscing would be the word.

one topic was basically bel n i fighting over whose school sucked more. lol very bad leh.

there was one point which i thought made quite some sense:

one reason why we don't like our school so much iz coz of the glorious primary school days we had - something that we all miss dearly and hold so closely to our hearts.

but sonny so poor thing sit there and look on: "actually my school not as bad"... lol bo.

with the flick of an eye - ten years has passed. make us all realise that so many of us have been friends for a decade already. and considering we have only lived 16 years on earth, ten years definitely is a significant amount of time.

but what's more amazing is our ability to still hang out frequently.

many a times, when i say that im going out with my primary school friends - usually i get two responses:

1) u siao ar?
2) whoa.

it seems that its something that happens rarely... and that makes me even more proud to have been from de la salle!

okay o lvls are fast approaching... and i've been dwindling lotsa time away... better start rev-ing up my work rate.

adios!

Meritocracy

2005-10-19T10:58:00.000+08:00

A friend of mine introduced me to an article.

sorry andrew that happens to be you.

Click here to view it.

"FIELD STILL LEVEL FOR STUDENTS?"

interesting topic. Very highly debated on at in the press, at school and at home.

Since there are no moral strings attached to such a topic, there is much room for debate, and it will be difficult to actually come up wif a definite answer.

so putting in your two cents worth won't be considered a crime.

In the article, the reader points out that with the admission of 1600 primary school pupils into secondary schools through the Direct School Admission scheme, or 3% of the cohort, the "belief of these parents in meritocracy is being severely tested."

Of course we all know the conventional method for the placing of schools is through the results taken from national exams - PSLE, GCE O Levels... and "the previous method was objective and left little room for subjective discretion, or doub that some less deserving child was occupying our child's intended place in the school. In other words no one got the place by "pulling strings"."

"pulling strings"? that seems like a very heavy word used groundlessly.

According to dictionary.com, the definition of the word "meritocracy" goes:

"a system in which advancement is based on individual ability or achievement."

well... the reader seems to define "individual ability" simply on academic achievements. If it is so, then we are forgetting that many of the cream of Singapore's Society did not even have a chance to go to university. This is as many of them fail to sparkle academically. One example is Mr. Sim Wong Hoo - founder and chief of Creative Technology - one of Singapore's most famous brandnames. He only had a polytechnic diploma when he started off and look at where he is now.

Who and what a person is CANNOT just depend on his academic achievements alone. Not only is it morally not binding, it is also a superficial judgement, one mistake that many of us make without looking within.

People all over this world were born with different talents - some in academics of course. While others, in the field of sports they excel in; in performing etc. It is the ability to make use of one's talent to its fullest extent that makes a person excel and succeed.

Hence accepting people through sporting and artistic achievements IS accepting people through the system of meritocracy. It is "based on individual ability or achievement".

To achieve such distinctions and excellence in a particular person's chosen field takes a lot of hard work, determination and grit. And to succeed eventually is thoroughly deserved. Hence it is a good practice to award them with a place in their school of choice - just like when a person excels in his academics, he is awarded again with a school of his/her choice.

Just like the reader, i shall conclude now with:

"All of us need to be assured that meritocracy is the basis of our society".

Para-Liturgy

2005-10-17T23:05:00.000+08:00

spent a few hrs last night studyin... (wait wait... what studying? ended up playin wheel)...

ya la kp. did so little. nvm nvm.

the shittiest was having to endure only one frantic hour of sleep. ohwell i had a wonderful dream so ya lol i guess tts worth it.

haven't had wonderful dreams in a long time.

today was the official LAST day of school... gawd FINALLY!!!

had no classes - spent the entire day at the hall: "Para-Liturgy" they call it. Well its just some ceremony and ya all the blah blah yadayada stuff...

pretty much like story telling on a bigger scale? or izzit? lol seemed like it.

had a pretty senseless feeling though... (i have no idea what i just typed)

okay im goin mad.

maybe i'll just take this opportunity to blog bout the four years in SJI.

let's start off with 208/2003. Today we had to write down four names of four people who influenced your life most. and asking around Ben Tay, Calvin, Changkee, Jason - they did put Mrs. Fong down. Quite a form tutor... definitely show her a lot of respect. I'm sure the rest of the 208 guys have the same feeling about this subject. Well it was a good two years - topped off with us winning the Inter-Class Championship. well i must say the friendship made there definitely lasted to quite some extent as the six of us who made it to 406 are always together talking, chatting etc... have many more stories but summing up - definitely a very good experience.

406/2005? ha. interesting to say the least. maybe coz the experiences are fresh in my head. the class with the sportsmen, the class that produced a world champ. the class that has so many prefects + PSFs, and not to forget one of the loudest classes around.

andrew kept reminding me "do you feel lyk crying?" today. as bad as it may be, i gave him a direct reply - "no".

hmmm i read a friend's blog recently, and on it she said something which made a lot of sense.

to rephase in mi own context - well i do like my class and school... but the feeling just isn't as strong. of coz there are experiences that i enjoy, things that i'll remember, but there isn't a connection in between the physical and the mental. so of coz i do enjoy it, but not in the context of "i'm gonna miss it forever" kind.

definitely many of my schoolmates will beg to differ... looking at their msn nicks', friendster ttmls and blogs, well it only goes to show they have a very strong connection and feeling with the school. in other words - they love it.

i can't feel it though.

why am i taking the last day of school to talk about this? shldn't this be a day where everyone commemorates, celebrates and dine in joy?

well i've never really liked my school - yup things are just as simple as that.

on another note - the bowling team has always been there to enrich my schooling life and to give me a lofty goal to work at.

the graduating bowlers! yoyo we rawk! lol... yupyup!

"so you think you are some kind of superstar?"

will miss the times we trained... the times we bowled... the times of competition... the times where we fought together with a common goal...

the heartbreak at failures... the laughter at successes... the times where we looked at each other in despair when things seem to be on the losing end... and also the times when a solid strike leads to a fist-pumping and high-5s being exchanged... all are times that will definitely be etched at the back of my head for some time to come.

wad an entry. love me - hate me.

thank you to all who have played a role in shaping the school life that i have led. especially to all those who have been there to listen to my nagging and rambling when im down and out, and also to those who have stood by through everything else.

its been a long four years. and an eventful one as well.

sia la.

i almost died today.

it seems that mi "almost get run down by cars" days are back.

today while crossing the road outside Great World City... a car came rushing in the direction of my face, and thus i decided to just make it to the other end of the road.

alas! the car did not even bother to make any attempt to slow down and i came within a few centimetres of the goddamn car (well according to darryl's description)...

lol wth am i doing... actually the whole incident is my fault lar... just usually u see some idiot pedestrian anyhow crossing the road right in front of yer face you'll have some sense as to slow down a bit right? lol hai but i cant complain i guess...

shit im starting to develop phobia for roads.

roadophobia.

ahaha went glenn's house. chao hilarious can. buay tahan. his dog... forbidden speech... who's line... kao cant stop laughin can.

on another note - today's the last day of sch!!!
well at least of the studying part of sch...

爱情悬崖

2005-10-14T00:19:00.000+08:00

曲：周杰伦词：徐若瑄编：钟兴民

你说我像一个小孩总爱让你猜
我说你才像个小孩总要我说才明白
有些事太快失去了等待障碍没了期待
我们的爱怎么才自然每次沟通不来
就要离开就说不要爱

我掉进爱情悬崖跌太深爬不出来
下降的速度太快来不及踏上未来
你的爱反复徘徊打乱我的呼吸节拍
该怎么逃开我控制不来

我掉进爱情悬崖回想起你的可爱
傻傻的还在等待以为你还会回来
你的脸慢慢离开时间快将我掩埋
消失的太快我负荷不来

这首歌真的很好很好听!!!! 杰伦!!!!

不知道为什么徐若瑄写的歌词种是那么厉害...
就跟<<简单爱>>一样... 太厉害了!!!

我掉进爱情悬崖... 跌太深爬不出来... 下降的速度太快... 来不及蹋上未来...

well

2005-10-13T21:46:00.000+08:00

very interesting.

seemingly i have no homework today! supposedly that is a cause for celebration, yet i don't seem to feel any adrenaline.

i will have to.

meanwhile the anti-SA campaign by 406 has resurfaced again. hoho veri interesting affairs.
yaya the CJ talk la la... well i have had friends asking mi where to go and mi answer always ends with "ultimately its your choice"... and hence i will TRY to erase all criticisms of CJC i have in my mind coz well guys - its yer choice right? enjoy yer time there... really... i'm sure u guys will... just lyk u all have in SJI.

SAJC! woohoo... okay okay. im so darn proud im going there!! *LIFTS HEAD HIGH* *STRUTS IN MAD LAUGHTER*!!! okay im gonna promote SA now.

Firstly they have super duper nice uniform!!! (envious right?)
Secondly we have pop superstars!! woo r u a yanzi fan? or a JJ fan? Junyang fan? well they all come from SAJC!!!
Thirdly we have the best bowling team in singapore!!!! well schools' bowling team dat is. WAHHHHHH bowling rawks man! SAJC Bowling Team = Champs!

Of course SAJC ahaha has so mani mani mani more positive points... but listing them all would take forever. so i'll just pick one more out.

SAJC is better than CJC!! ahaha sorry but i must do this. of course when many pple make this generalised comparism they often do it in terms of studies. and i've heard enuff crap in sch to make mi wanna spit it all out on mi blog!

SA's entry score - 9 & 11. CJ's entry - 15 & 16.
SA is ranked 8th - behind RJ HC VJ TJ AJ NJ AC.
CJ? ahaha if i say out i scared pple will be frightened of goin CJ liao. so i wun... just not as good as many pple in mi sch think of it to be.

i would like to extend my fullest apologies to those who i might have made unhappy in the above comment. however they were only facts that were extracted from MOE's web.

its time to end this topic. well all i can say now is never let the institution u attend carve out who you are - YOU carve out who you are.

Ultimate, it's your choice.

another topic that is hot in the news recently are the prelim results. (damn why must everithing be related to studies?) some pple performed above expectations, some below. many felt many didn't deserve their marks - whether it is higher or lower, all for a variety of reasons.

i once heard a quote from somewhere that made a lot of sense - "what our eyes sees, and our ears hear, our mind believes. However, most of it is just an illusion"

to put it simply - things are not always as superficial as many might seem to be.

i hope u all get what im trying to say.

recently the SJI Bowling Team was awarded the South Zone Team Award for finish 2nd and 3rd in the B Div and C Div nationals respectively. it's been another good year for the team and we have made remarkable progress, both on and off the lanes.

The team spirit has definitely improved, and so have many bowlers. The new secondary one batch shine with potential, and the secondary four batch leave with lots of experience embedded in them.

We have had a new teacher on board, and have moved closer in our dream to become national champions. It was a close shave during the Secondary Schools' League where SJI, having been tied on points with ACSi, lost out only on pinfall difference. Definitely an applaudable effort - for the fact that Lionel wasn't even on the winning team.

Again, Lionel brought home the masters title and brought much glory to the school.

SJI Bowlers also made huge impacts on other tournaments, like the National Age Group Championships.

Meanwhile, off the lanes, many advances were also made. We held our first ever overnight camp at Downtown East in December (3D2N), and are going to have another one in conjunction with the Milo International Junior All Stars in Kuala Lumpur in December this year for 8D7N.

It's been an honour serving as captain of a team that has garnered so much respect from our peers in the bowling circle. now that honour is with javier, and it is with much hope that he will bring the team to greater heights!

that was quite a post. time to study!

sowing seeds

2005-10-06T21:32:00.000+08:00

school nowadays is similar to hard hard training...

esp. thursdays.

when u have two double periods of physics and maths... gawd its relli lyk when training for nationals... got time just go bowl bowl bowl! same feeling...

quite a sick feeling too... but got the kinda adrenaline goin...

woosh!

starting.

2005-10-05T22:31:00.000+08:00

im gonna start today.

i set mi mind up last night i guess... okay its time to get single digit!!!

went to glenn's house today... ahaha i lurve his dog!!! so adorable!!!

okay okay so we did physics... and gawd it was quite a challenge... but ahaha cannot fight wif SJI paper... ahaha... lol but quite tough...

his place kena dengue i think... wah damn scary... luckily the west area is the least affected.

okay okay. feel the RUSH!!!!

im lovin it'

livelier...

2005-10-03T23:00:00.000+08:00

that previous post kinda stinks... so boring.

today something made mi heart jump... okay two things. one is ya la exam results.

the other was when Ms. D'Costa said: "Who has a blog?"

and damn smart the people in my perimeter go turn towards mi... well done guys... luckily ahaha im safe. coz hey i dun blog bout teachers k... i dun!!!

well i think i dun... do i?

eh i don't! what? i have a guilty look on my face? eh i dun okay. i relli dun. go check mi posts...

okay maybe i do... but not recently! so if u wanna find evidence hafta slowly browse thru mi blog archives... ahaha this is gettin stupid.

okay got hw... darn. nites peeps.

good or bad?

2005-10-03T22:15:00.000+08:00

well for those of you who knew... i got back my prelims today.

prelims know! wah lau. all those 6am days and all those ya 6am days. ahaha can't think of other examples. today all those work will be judged if successful or not.

success? ya in some ways. but failure too was present.

so probably its time for an evaluation.

both sciences came and both resulted in C5s. physics well figured i worked hard for the whole yr so din relli study much of it. as in during the pre-prelims period. the mcq part was surprisingly well done but section B was well not up to expectations. so ya it shows i needa buck up mi physics. chemistry was well better dan expected (expected to fail)... ahaha sumhow scrapped through. well i must say behind 2158, chem was the nxt hardest sub i worked for, and well i did manage to convert a fail to a pass, but still the results r not matching up to the time put in. OKAY MORE WORK!!!

humanities was quite a pleasant surprise. history got a B3 while lit elective got an A2. ahaha 2158 i surprisingly needa work on mi part Is. mi part IIs seem to be improving. but ya chow did brilliantly and for that i hafta salute him! lit elective, the SS part wasn't as well done as i wanted it, mi essays only got 16, so ya needa work on mi RI and BC parts. luckily lit saved mi with a 20 for mi essay! ahaha lovin it. but that was tyco lar so ya must work on lit too... esp on quotes and poetry... well more practice lor.

emaths was another pleasant surprise. got 85%!!! ahaha dunno how i got so high one. but believe it or not - that's third highest in class only. ahaha. i guess the shocking 15/50 for the emaths test i got in class relli woke mi up. amaths was relli unlucky. got many marks minused for stupid stuff lyk 3 s.f. and stuff lyk dat... and dere was one qn where i had to diferentiate and quotient rule uses the minus sign, but i ended up using the plus sign, and for that the rest of the qn were all wrong. so ya i got an unlucky 69 which ya is a B3 but damn shld have gotten A1... ohwell need work in this area. relli do. esp trigo. and ya actually mani topics oso need work. ohwell i need mi Amaths lar! impt sub.

languages(english to be exact)... i dunno how to describe. happy that i got a B3 - 68, but then well it didn't seem to be very well done. i can't believe mi compre onli got freaking 13/25, and it was this that prevented mi A lar. well glad i picked the right essay qn so quite lucky there - for a mediocre essay got a 20... ahaha. ya but this only goes to show mi english needs to buck up! badly. another impt sub. wait compulsory sub. ya that's more accurate.

so i guess that's it. performed better dan i expected... ahaha then i came home to hao lian to mi parents and they kap pei-ed mi. well done yew liang ahaha. aiya nvm lar its been a long three months suffering since mid yr.

13 pts. lucky or unlucky number? u decide. aniwaes its SA for first three months and hopefully you reading mi blog will go there too! good place.

ya i must say that many people did well, while some didn't. although overall as a class we did improve much, but there's more work to be done! full steam ahead! =)

champions

2005-10-02T23:51:00.000+08:00

it's the battle of champions.

chelsea, champions of the premiership

vs.

liverpool, champions of europe.

gawd i dreamt of the match last night - and dreamt that chelsea thrashed liverpool 6-1.

its now halftime and chelsea leads 2-1. let's pray that the dream does not come true.

champions are made of heart and soul, and not of money. go liverpool!!!

long long long.

2005-10-02T00:36:00.000+08:00

this is gonna be a long post. so dun say i didn't warn you.

now did i just warn you that it was gonna be long?

okay gonna blog half english half chinese. so plz change to unicode if u want to see chinese characters instead of dunno wad half japanese half korean half indian characters. now wait that's 150%... okay nvm.

哈哈哈哈... okay. 今天还真是累... 星期六还得六点起床... 真是的...

ya darn had to reach barker at a ridiculously early timing. well at least it was in the hope that there would be an interesting talk waiting for us. 哈哈 interesting? we'll see.

so ya signed in but due to the large amounts of sji bowlers present... it was a lil troublesome... but still quite okay lar. haha haven't seen mi swl partner for months.

okay so it finally started after a short delay... with ng eng chin n jessie phua making short n consized speeches. jessie phua was damn bhb lar. 受不了... 真是自傲!!!

then came the blardy sid allen and his olympics dreams and bowling revolution speech. darn it took double the time stipulated and he only realised when he finally took a look at his watch when he was 25 mins overdue. but surprisingly din fall zzzZZZ.

break break break. gawd have more breaks!!! okay so ya came back had stupid lane talks blah blah and some mental talk which din relli go in. den came brad angelo. ahaha wad a joke.

now Mr. Angelo is a PBA bowler. n he comes up and tells everibody that his bowling style is wrong... wad dun learn from him... wad crap. crap crap. ahaha but quite ridiculously farnie.

rick benoit also came up and i wanted to pop him a qn: "u seem to share the same surname as a WWE wrestler... is there any connection inbetween?"... but of course that was a dumb qn and to save mi face i guess it was smarter not to say it.

Q&A was rather okay lar. last part... new hui fen went up: "wad do you think about spinners?"... ahaha dat was freaking interesting k. well at least im interested. SPINNERS RAWK!!! RAWK RAWK!!!

so dat sums up mi veri brief outline of the seminar in the morning. trust me that was supposed to be brief.

went tong's house and played pool and lost terribly. wanted to sleep but wif one raelene tang screaming at her top of her voice: "WHY IS Zinc 2+ and 3+???? which one issit????"... how to? she asked a whole load of other dumb qns too lyk: "WHY IS SO4 2-?" .... kp how to answer sia.

walked to tanglin and ate before entering school LATE. but then everione was late too so ahaha no one gave a freaking shit. tried to sleep in class but then again failed. again. yea its not tt easy to slp u know.

almost had a terrible headache but sumhow it went away... possibly the airconditioning of the hall soothened it.

the events that followed will forever be carved in the centre of my mind in ways more than one.

so sing sing then pray. usual right? nxt was parent's opening of the letter we wrote to them. okay i hafta admit got tears well up in my eyes... a little lar. coz thinking through the content which i wrote and suddenly it was yah. shant elaborate.

den lui's speech was all so usual and planned. WOW i got mentioned. ahaha "Wong Yew Liang"... but no lar credit relli goes to the entire team. shall elaborate on this later.

sing sing again... and guess wad... the guest of honour was next.

u know who he is? "Mr Lee Tai Yang"... yes yer thinking wad im thinking. its 太阳... ahahaha laugh... well know who he is? just admit it... you dont. but dun worry. i don't too.

but he's great. relli he is. coz our Mr. 太阳 soon embarked on a journey no one has ever gone before. which is to break mr. Lui's record ten times over, and set a new record for longest speech ever made in the history of this school - 1 hr in excess!

yup you r not blind. yer eyes are working in perfect order. one hour! that's 60 mins! that's 3600 seconds!!! gawd he think he making national day rally ar.

dun think one hour is short just coz the number one is a small number... its damn freaking long.

his start was pretty normal. but soon it developed into a verbal autobiography of his life. (in sji that is)... started talking bout his first day in school and that itself took bout 5 - 10 mins. soon started bout his first term and that took half an hour. second term was a lil shorter but ran longer than 10 mins.

u think he had enuff? one thing to note - Mr. 太阳 studied for three years in sji!!!

one extract of his speech:
"For my dinner... i used to go to this place where they sold the cheapest dinner! at 70 cents! you could have a full plate stuff on it with a choice of either chicken or char siew! do you all know wad is char siew?"
"For my lunch... i used to go to this place near my school where they sold the chepest lunch! at 50 cents! but i had to rush as usually by the time i reached the place it was already starting to close down and the cleaners would then be spraying water all around mi while i was eating."
"For my breakfast..." (the audience breaks out into a intriguing and half frustrated half laughing lyk crazy sign of protest)

ya so u think he decided to stop? no. he just changed the damn topic.

one more extract:
(after bout 50 mins)
"So that was 1956. but due to time constraints i will not go into the details of 57"

if at that point u din feel lyk whacking the man and leaving a scar on his face for life... well you have great patience my friend.

but Mr. 太阳 got the loudest applause of the night when he finally decided to stop. that i wonder why.

and with that everione finally could say that they'd survive hell on earth.

cerificates soon and ya got mi certs and stuff... boring lar.
wad was interesting was after that. calvin lim zhi yang, a class mate since sec 1.
sportsman of the year. (or issit sportsboy?)... ahaha. okay lar shall be good and dedicate a little column to him

i think many need a little bit of background on him.

firstly. wads the big deal?
okay a national sailor since a tender age, he has had success on both the national and the international scene in the byte class.

His major breakthrough came when he represented singapore in the Byte CII Euro Cup in Lake Iseo, Italy in June 2004. Having put the title away by the second last race, he didn't even have to sail in the last race... "but will do so which says a lot for the attitude of the Singapore sailors and their Hungarian Coach Andras." - quoted from scuttlebutteurope.com

He then went on to compete in the World Byte Championships in Ontario Canada. "The 2004 Byte World Championship was the biggest as well as the most competitive championship ever and it seems appropriate that all was decided on the last day of racing. The final three races were enough for Calvin Zhi Yang Lim of Singapore to take over the lead and become the 2004 Byte World Champion and Byte World Youth Champion. Calvin's consistency throughout the event was truly remarkable. He won the Qualifying Series and scored no lower than ninth in the Gold Fleet." - quoted from asianyachting.com

in the 2004 Byte Class Awards, the award of Male Sailor of the Year went to you know who. ya so i think i should put a full stop here coz its starting to sound a little quirky.

well actually all that information came from an easy web search. ahaha many might think why i just did all that... well just a little tribute to a classmate of mine for 4 years now, and ya hopefully we'll see you in the olympics.

u know when alfred nathan said that, everibody just laughed. wonder if that signifies anithing.

and then ahaha came quite a hilarious moment. they were presenting the trophy and it was quite a silent moment... guess no one thought of saying anithing and it was a lil awkward in a sense... so i just blurted out: "wah so zai ar" and everione turned and the attention shifted from mr. dimples to mi... ahaha fun fun must do it again sometime.

moving on... gave out other awards which i dun relli have much comments over.

of coz how can we not have a class dinner... so went to p.s. swensens... and wasted quite some time intially coz of a lack of tables for 25 pple... ahaha... well tt's quite expected aniwae.

so reached home onli at midnight... oh ya happy birthday cindy! and to all mi five friends too who so nicely have their birthday on children's day.

so its graduation. graduated! wow. fast but yet not so fast. gd but yet not so bad. or izzit the other way round. ohwell u decide.

its been quite an enriching four yrs lar i must admit. 208/03! din we just rawk the sports scene or wad. inter class champs!!! zai kia. and farmer fong and everithing else just make those times memorable.

406/05!! another class which simply rawks the sports scene. captains in almost everithing! ahaha... damn farnie. hmmm been quite lucky to have been in sports' classes for all mi four years of sji. well there are definitely super hilarious and hard to forget moments and im sure i'll never forget them.

bowlers! dun we just rawk or wad. okay bhb. but then ahaha we shan't hide the truth! since there r no golds this yr in the bdiv, then that makes us the most successful sport in the b division in sji!!! ahaha cool bo. all those times we almost dethroned acsi who just din wanna buldge (credit given to them too)... esp. stupid darn secondary schools league which was deservedly sji's. but all those times... i relli will miss them badly. well some of us are going to the same jc, and hopefully we can bring the same spirit wif us over there, which would then give us another chance to dethrone acsi. ahaha. well i dun think i can finish saying everithing in one para... but ya i think most of u get wad im tryin to say and ya i cant wait for milo!!!!

friends made in sji, especially close ones have been hard to come. glad to have spent such great experiences with each and everione and it's been a great journey.

almost at the end. almost. just feel it! right in the grasp of your palm. u either reach out hard enuff now and grab it, or...
lose it forever.

这一次还有谁... 能够陪在身边不会累... 让我唯一的梦想... 不会再一次轻易破碎... 不会后悔... 做好准备... 只有前近没有后退...

=)

2005-09-27T22:18:00.000+08:00

typed a lousy post. louseee.
so here i go changing the whole entire thing. to something new! ahhh refrshing.

mentos... the freshmaker. (sorry out of point)

so mi previous blog had all mi nags about chemistry.
den i wondered? why m i nagging for?

at least i worked hard. and tried. sometimes that matters a lot. in this case it does.
it relli does. you din't let yourself down did you? so wad can u do? only one thing - try even harder.

okay let's quit this bull before this becomes another lousy post.

aniwae i wanna congratulate a friend of mine for having been picked for an award from somewhere. well he'll know wad im talking about. not supposed to say anithing for the moment. so ya. no further comments.

mysterious.

on the front page of the straits times today: students banned from school for flaming teachers on blogs.

wow that was quite eye catching. for flaming teachers? i think the whole youth blogging community needs to be expelled from school alreadi. lets face it? how rare izzit that student bloggers don't flame teachers?

rare. (or maybe tts my own conclusion)

understanding is the key to trust.

three days shortened

2005-09-25T15:48:00.000+08:00

with days like these... my life is gonna be shortened. badly.

chalet! yup straight after prelims. wad the hell u think...
well it was actually sponsored nicely by glenn n his parents, simply for the fact that they wanted us to plan him a surprise party...

friday... reached only in the late afternoon... and had to spend one hour cleansing and marinating the chicken wings.
night fell and well nothing much was really done.... except mahjong and cards.
but i did watch My Sassy Girl... again.

so i did catch quite a bit of sleep (lyk 6 hrs?) so din feel sleepy... good.

saturday was spent around three things - bowling, mahjong, cards and tv. well at least before we pulled off the surprise.
bowling was hell farnie... but i sorta got mi hook still... ahahaha... dats cause for celebration.
mahjong and cards... u know. dis ain't need any elaboration.
tv - hell!!! man u got beaten... crap crap crap. crap crap crap. wad crap!!! scholes might as well have played for blackburn... made no difference. kao... looks lyk chelsea is gonna have a nice flight to the premiership title.

and den came 12 midnight - the time to pull off the surprise.
his parents had come... and we had to act lyk they didn't. so faster usher them around without making any noise while glenn was upstairs playing his usual blackjet and as usual - losing.
but aniways we did pull it off!!! not bad... turned off all the lights and got everyone downstairs. and tada! the birthday cake comes in and everione sings... woo great coordination.
opening of presents took bout. hmmm. 20 mins. not that there were many... but just simply coz there were many layers of wrapping - u know those kind u see on tv... one big box open open open until only one small present.

we went bowling after that. ahaha and implemented a policy of left handers bowling with your right hand and vice versa. that was pretty lame. we went back to normal in our second game and so i threw spinner! and almost hit 200! ahahah so fun. thus i conclude that i wanna turn back to a spinner. well on second thought... ahaha that was a lousy conclusion. better stick to hook.

so we went back to the chalet again and guess wad? yup u guessed it. mahjong and cards again.
but apparently quite a number of us got sick of it... (or issit sick of losing) and so we started playing a murderous game called murderer.
and i apparently became one of the favourite victims.
well it was four am when everione (well most la) got tired and off *zoom* to sleep. but some of the awake ones decided to play sassy girl downstairs... and the sleepy mi instantly awoke! and *zoom* downstairs to watch.
but halfway through i needed to sleep. so sadly had to leave the tv to enter sleepland.

sleeping was hell. ended up on the floor with the aircon blowing at u. buay tahan and got up i think in just lyk an hour. went to the living room and although it was the hard floor again, at least it din have a blardy aircon blasting at u.

finally it was the journey home. it is now 4pm and gawd i've just spent the last three hours asleep.
sadly i forgot to bring mi cam and no pics were taken... by me that is. well waiting for uncle paul's pics... but i dun think he took much. ah wth.

i haven't eaten today... not yet. damn im hungry. gonna go eat now. bye peeps.

sobs

2005-09-22T22:39:00.000+08:00

太吵了

2005-09-21T21:33:00.000+08:00

啊啊啊啊!!!!! 太吵了!!!!!

真是受不了... 太吵了!!!!!

刚刚看了<<有话就说>>...
今天谈的是关于绝对Superstar... 而且还邀请了欣卉!!! 对就是石欣卉!!!

所以当然不能错过...

可是呢, 却截然的发现 - 这快变成蔡深江和黄明德的节目了...
受不了啊!!!

真是吵... 尤其是那个黄明德... 一直以为我们年轻人没有正确的想法... 没有理智性... 根本就不把我们当成人... 整天以为他的想法就是唯一正确的想法...

还是姓黄的... 真是丢咱门黄家的脸...

还好有我得偶像!!! 石欣卉!!! 哈哈... 帮我们年轻人说话... 好厉害!!!

真是的... 说什么我们只会追求虚拟的梦... 梦想成为名星有错吗?

而且... 偶像名星未必是唱工最好的... 也没有这种必要... 人气是在演艺圈里所必要的一点... 这应该是无可否认的...

但在最终... 请不要一直把我们年轻的一代弄得那么低级可以吗? 而且现在节目越来越闷了... 全都是因为你把他当成你的节目...

年轻无极限!!!

刚刚从麦当捞读书回来... 哈哈一点半... 第一次这样... 还蛮好玩的...

今天家楼下举办了中秋节的活动... 其实就相平常一样... 没什么特别的...

可是还蛮有幽默感的... 好好笑... 主持人还蛮专业的...

哈哈我的表弟还在幸运抽奖里得到头奖... 哈哈为什么我就没有那么幸运!!!!!

哇吃了很多...

过后sonny打电话来... 叫我去和他做功课... 当然因为在家里会睡觉... 因此就这样答应了...

所以从大概九点半做到一点半... 哇还蛮不错哟...

数学数学数学!!!!!

很怕啊... 应该会很难吧... 所以唉... 很怕就对了...

我唯一能拿A1的科目... 所以要加倍努力!!!! 要有信心!!!! 哈哈说得那么容易... 做得到吗???

哎哟我现在有熊猫眼... 真是耐烦!!!

起来照着镜子... 还真是吓了一跳!!! 我眼匡的两旁... 为何是黑的???!!!???

看来我得好好的睡觉... 也应该去做做运动才行... 好久没去跑步了... 哈哈好懒惰...

哎哟人的性格不就是睡觉和偷懒吗??? 还有吃... 哈哈可能这只是新加坡人的性格吧...

好吧... 该去睡了... Zzzzz...

华文

奇怪... 我很喜欢这样写... 好好玩...

这星期... 还真累... 尤其是在星期三和四...
哈哈... 考试的前夕还会在三点半才睡...

还好有人发明了咖啡... 救了我一命.

考试还真的非常吃力...

可是不知道为何心情非常好... 哈哈考试会让你更开心吗?

还有多几天... 希望一切都能顺利...

太精彩了

2005-09-11T23:09:00.000+08:00

哎哟... 又要考试了...

其实应该早已习惯了... 每一天都好象是在考试...

受不了了!!!!!!!!!!!

明天emaths可能是我唯一能拿A1的科目... hmmm 要好好的把握机会...

在此只好希望一切都能顺利....

<制造浪漫> 实在太好听了!!! 这是陈慧琳的歌... 是和郑伊健合唱的... 应该把它设为我的blog的音乐...

可是现在懒得去做... 哈哈... 以后吧...

okay应该去睡了...

受不了了

2005-09-11T05:49:00.000+08:00

累了... 实在是受不了了.

现在已是早上五点四十九分. 人家刚起来我才睡...

唉... 看起来我的prelims可能连二十分也拿不到了...

祝我好运...

我想哭但是哭不出来...

华语

2005-09-10T23:17:00.000+08:00

哈哈...

本人将利用华文来blog.

很多人应该觉得很奇怪吧, 为何我会想这样做.
其时在不知不觉中反而觉得用华语表达东西会更舒服.

如果这会让你们读得很疲惫, 那我得先说对不起. 抱歉!!

这几天似乎过得非常普通...
不是读, 就是读.... 唉...

今天本来想去看superstar的签唱会... 但最后还是决定读书比较重要.

因此... 从今天下午三点读到晚上十点.... 快要受不了时sonny却又再叫我陪他读到天亮...

哈哈... 因此我决定了! 我将会在太阳出现前把我的历史背好.

Ahhh! 勇往直前!!! 冲啊!!!!

motivation

2005-09-05T23:46:00.000+08:00

i need motivation!!!

arghhh im getting distracted lots... die.

probably?? maybe not..

2005-09-03T22:57:00.000+08:00

to all of u who have learnt probability before, heres a question to stump u...

read carefully:

3 probability experts had been imprisoned and sentenced to death.However they were given a chance to live :
5 identically shaped hats were placed on a table, out of which 3 were black and 2 were white. After being blindfolded, each collected a hat and the 3 prisoners stood in a row. In turn each had to guess the colour of his own hat.

The first prisoner shouted out a color and was shot dead. the same thing happened to the second prisoner. with some thinking, the third prisoners miled, confidently shouted out the correct color and was released. State the colour of the hat each prisoner was wearing and explain yr reasons for thinking so.

know the answer?

now most people would choose black-black-white...

but that is WRONG!!!

its white-white-black...

reason:
the 3rd prisoner was confident- the only sure event is if he has the black hat, meaning the other two had white hats

so are u still so confident of your A1?

lol

passion.

2005-09-02T20:59:00.000+08:00

today's first few steps into school generated into a huge debate over superstar... which i decline to comment further... SO MUCH of mi breath wasted alreadi...

okay so english paper lor... haha passion. yup nice topic eh... but i made a fatal mistake and didn't do a bowling descriptive on it... but aniwae i dun think i will score too well...

den after paper one, a huge debate over superstar erupted again...

hai and at this time i decided to change mi stand... had enuff of defending weilian so i turned to pushing for xin hui!!! haha...

isn't she pretty? n of coz the talent is undeniable... dunno why pple in sch say wad kelly is prettier... ah pui ar..

aiyo hope she relli can cut contract... wah stress leh... debating in class lyk dat... hai i think haha if she cut album i change frm s.h.e to xin hui ar... haha...

okay enuff of that...

just read an article in the papers... on long-term funding for sports... previously they asked the respective sports to submit their proposals for long term funding... i know pple find dis dumb but i was actually taking quite a close attention to this thing... n hoho mi prediction was right!!! or at least half-right... i predicted sailing confirm get one...

so in de end sailing and bowling got... and i think SSC made the right choice... singaporesailing has been impressive to say the least and if you wanna put any bets on singapore's first ever olympic gold medal - i think it would most likely come from sailing...

singapore's bowling can undeniably contest on the world stage... but as it does not yet have the popularity globally, we can onli wait and see and cross our fingers dat in 2016 they may put it in the olympics... haha so yeah wait and see... but if it does... then well theres a high chance of an olympic medal...

ohwell speaking bout bowling... i guess im not goin tamp tomolo... so sads... but damn far lar... hai hope they can do well... relli relli hope they can at least squeeze into top 5...

okay enuff of bloggin... i think im still in the superstar craze... thinking of goin concert haha... aniwae thinking of the same thing?

project superstar

2005-09-01T23:06:00.000+08:00

The birth of a superstar...

witnessed in front of a national audience.

Project Superstar: Total Success.

Many would ask the question of: "how can a blind guy be a superstar?''

But yet i think that if we look past his disabilities, and search deep down and feel the uniqueness of his voice and the way he touches your heart, then you will truly appreciate the superstar that is inside of him.

However i must add i truly thought kelly deserved to win as she sang really well... especially the final song... i would give her a perfect 10 for it... seriously a star...

weilian's second song was brilliant... if you sit in an empty room and all you hear is that song... and if you dont cry den i dont think yer human...

haha at least mi 10 votes for weilian was not wasted...

aniwae the highlight of the show was undeniably xin hui's performance...

AHHHHH SO PRETTIE!!! OH MAN... why she so chio one?

n she sang so well!!! the purple dress made her look lyke she just came down from the heavens man...

n wuding!!! WU DING!!! WU DING!!! one of my fave songs ever man... and sung by mi two fave contestants!!! oh man so romantic... ahhhhhh!!!

Wu Ding rawks... hmmm maybe i shld put it as mi blog song...

i relli hope xin hui can cut an album... she can sing relli relli well...
