hmm it seems i have lost my thing for blogging. there's been nth much to post abt recently.

anyway, maths test was quite bad i think. we haven't got it back yet(cos fang hui's got dengue- GET WELL SOON!) but then mr tan said he marked half the class alr and 7 ppl failed incl one with a one digit mark(scary!). tim relax man think positive!

dammit i hope i din fail and i hope can at least get A2 but really i dno. good luck to everyone though!

so there's napfa tommorow and i dno if im gna be able to do standing broad jump. my knee's been hurting quite a fair bit when i bend it too much after long trainings and stuff and it hurt really bad when i tried standing broadjump 2 wks ago. but then maybe cos i wasnt wearing proper shoes. ah well i guess ill have to wear a knee guard tmr.

i really need to regain some form for tennis man. been playing very lousily :(

And the Reeboks with the straps [With the straps]
She turned around and gave that big booty a smack [Ayy]
She hit the floor [She hit the floor]
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low

[Verse 1:]
I ain't never seen nuthin that'll make me go,
this crazy all night spendin my dough
Had a million dollar vibe and a bottle to go
Dem birthday cakes, they stole the show
So sexual, she was flexible
Professional, drinkin X and ooo
Hold up wait a minute, do i see what I think I
Whoa
Did I think I seen shorty get low
Ain't the same when it's up that close
Make it rain, I'm makin it snow
Work the pole, I got the bank roll
Imma say that I prefer them no clothes
I'm into that, I love women exposed
She threw it back at me, I gave her more
Cash ain't a problem, I know where it goes

She had them

[Chorus]
Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans]
Boots with the fur [With the fur]

[Verse 2:]
Hey

My jeans full of gwap
And they ready for Shones
Cadillacs Maybachs for the sexy grown
Patrone on the rocks that'll make you moan

One stack (come on)
Two stacks (come on)
Three stacks (come on, now that's three grand)
What you think I'm playin baby girl
I'm the man, I'll bend the rubber bands

That's what I told her, her legs on my shoulder
I knew it was ova, that Henny and Cola
Got me like a Soldier
She ready for Rover, I couldn't control her
So lucky oo me, I was just like a clover
Shorty was hot like a toaster
Sorry but I had to fold her,
Like a pornography poster
She showed her

[Chorus]
Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans]
Boots with the fur [With the fur]
The whole club lookin at her
She hit the floor [She hit the floor]

[Verse 3:]
Whoa

Yea she was worth the money
Lil mama took my cash,

Tattoo Above her crack,

I was on it, sexy woman, let me shownin
They be want it two in the mornin
I'm zonin in them rosay bottles foamin
She wouldn't stop, made it drop
Shorty did that pop and lock,
Had to break her off that gwap
Gah it was fly just like my glock

C'mon

haven't been updating recently cos i've been pretty lazy really. dno why but havent really felt like blogging in recent weeks.

but well im posting now :)
now that I'm $2244 richer!( some ppl gna ask me for treat soon. haha)

right so class gathering at mark's house last week was great! his house was like a mansion and well i think my house looks like some slump compared to his but i'm okay with that. i like my house. but what im saying is that his house is phenomianally BIG with pool table, ping pong table and a pretty big swimming pool. damn. its filthy big and it costs 17mil. oh and its situated in the rich man's land of king albert park. KAP.

so we just meng pool, table tennis and soccer in his relatively big garden. haha and they were throwing ppl into the pool too. but it was all in good fun. fun till ky and i just ponned busy bees that night and sway sway unded up in different replacement classes where we din know anyone. haha but it was worth it.

oh and i think i really shd haf gone for the england trip instead of buying "babi". cos it really sounded fun! ah well i might go for the next one.

so yesterday's newspaper collection CIP thing was interesting...
1) there was this guy who wanted to buy newspapers from us. Mr Ah Lim. want to see more? call this number 9689 8381
2)"Olde Nosepaper! மஆஈஊறளெ௩௨௫உஊஏஹஔகொஹஔஒவஐஹஔஸஒவளஹஸ..."(timtam burst out laughing at this point but i managed to {K}ontrol :) shall not go into details for obvious reasons
3)doors with red and balck paint splashed all over(loan sharks)

well it was interestin i guess
and haha well done to ky, cl, dom, timtam and lum(aka lubin/samuel)
fun group!

2008-03-11T19:47:00.002+08:00

Guess what?

I conceded a walkover!

Contact me for the full story. too long and im too lazy to blog abt it here.

but it essentially means i paid 32 bucks to go there and wait for 6 hrs. and yea its still raining now and my match was alr postponed a few times.

2008-03-10T10:29:00.002+08:00

whoo! matchday today! haha i'm quite excited actually. just recieved news that george is winning 6-1 3-3 yet he was telling me he was super nervous. and jian yi is playing some acs guy with 3 rackets.(thanks nick tan for the update). but gd luck to them anyway!

haha i'm feeling quite high now. i think it's gna be fun!

oh and i hope my knee will be okay later.

sprained my ligament on sat so hopefully it will be alright later.

2008-03-04T18:22:00.004+08:00

well it's sabbatical(sabbatikalsh) week now so yea i have time to post.

it's week 10 and hols are next wk!

hehe and i'm going for spex.

luckily under 16 not many ppl so no nd to play qualifying. haha anyw i think i'm playing some ang mor guy. seems i have a tendency to keep gena-ing ppl with funny names(ie ang moh names). ah well i'll just play my best :D

(click on it if u can't see...)

so this term is kinda screwed for me man. i dun think i did well at at all. i mean it's okay but isnt that great either. unlike ppl lk trevor. everything a1 a2. well it just means i have to work harder next term.
so my grades are as follows:
Bio: A1
Chem: A1
Physics: A1
English: A1(i think virtually yhe whole class got A1...)
Maths: B3
IH: B4(both ihc and ihe also b4)
Chinese: B4

sigh. lousy man. gt to work on me IH.

so my sabbatical isn't really that fun honestly. it's quite xian and i dno anyone. i think it would be okay if i had friends around but i don't in my sabbatical. so many sec 4s and 2s XD but i must say the sabbatical is actually quite useful. they teach u lk things to watch out for when u follow the stock market and know when is the best time to buy and sell. it is useful but it's boring and quite lonely also.

AND is all the way at JC com lab and i dno why it has to be ALLLLLLL the way there. and they only give us 1/2 hour break so it's impossible to go to high sch side to eat man. and the JC food sucks so yea...

well i shall make full use of this sabbatical to learn how to make money! (and to earn ace of course! ;))

2008-02-16T13:33:00.002+08:00

Super unlucky yesterday.

Had to pay $5 for a bloody lens which i dun even break. we were doing some experiment in the physics lab with the retard stand and mirror and lens below or smth then the whole arm of the retard stand came crashing down onto the lens which was on the mirror. and i dun hink it was my fault. the damn thing just came lose on its own when i wa trying to view the image. ah well sometimes u have gd luck sometimes, bad luck.

oh and there's test everyday of next wk! man this i stressful. and on top of that i still got so much hwk to do. okay i rly need to mug cos i nd to get rly good grades for the remaining tests man.

well i haven't been updating very often due to lack of time cos of hwk, competition, tests blah blah blah and i think my blogging skills have dropped also so yea do check back here on and off but dun eexpect new posts too often though.

oh and the atp tennis "feel it" campaign is rly cool!

2008-02-12T19:12:00.000+08:00

I am so dead. Damn im like flunking all my tests so far this yr.

DIE

So means i can't afford anything worse than an A2 for any of the next tests. so wad to do? Start mugging! hehe. i shall mug like i did for exams.

Anyway we bt monfort 3-2 but i din play. but well i've played 2 matches so i guess it's okay. and Hakim is damn gay. WTH his serve is crazy. and he can hit winners lk form anywhere. but i must say that Max did a really good job. he had 3 sudden deaths and hit at least 3 winner and an ace. which is already damn good against a davis cup player.

back to mugging!

2008-02-06T23:13:00.000+08:00

It's abt 45 mins to CNY. haha and i'm mugging! erm completing hwk actually.

there's so much bloody hwk.

dun understand why teachers haf to do this to us man.

ah well anyw we drubbed acs International 5-0 yesterday! whoo-hoo!

hehe i played 2nd doubles with timtanlt. i though i was playing very crapily(in stark contrast to my last wk+ a little of this weeks rich vein of form(not bragging)) but well it was enough for us to win 9-4 i guess. i still felt it could well have been 9-0 but oh well.

hopefully we bt monfort on monday, though we cant qualify for semis it's still good to win. and here come the tests.

i think i'm gna fail chem :X

haha but must think positive.

anyw happy cny!

2008-01-30T20:01:00.000+08:00

I played today against RI!
hehe 2nd singles against...
against...
against...
Felix Wee. under 16 number 1.
WTH. Even Max lost to him 9-3 last yr. walao eh. it was super difficult. but i think i played pretty well(not bragging) and i wasn't nervous at all! that i think in itself is a really great improvement for me cos i'm well erm pretty well known for "choking". Well it was tough and eh got own la...haha i must say it was challenging and i'm not disappointed because i know i gave it my all and i wasn't nervous or choking or anth but was just outclassed.

I'm not disappointed cos i played without fear and without nerves and i've hit a gd patch(i think) so yea i couldn't ask for more. the not so good thing today was my serve. abt 6 double faults i think. couldn't rly serve well. and i made a few unforced errors as well but then those cannot rly be avoided cos i really had to go for shots that i normally wouldn't go for cos he was too good and the longer the rally got the higher the chance of me losing. so well it was a great experience!

hopefully i play again on friday but i dno.

anyw we've reached 1/2 way through the term and i think our teachers are quite okay except for erm my mother tongue teacher and maybe the subject involving ions molecules and stuff(A bit too slack). hmmm and i now dno if i shd join CSE cos it's gna be quite hard...

2008-01-28T20:32:00.001+08:00

We lost =(

ah well there's no point thinking about what's past but look to the future and aim to get through by beating everyone else.

come on HCI tennis we can do it!

maths re-test tmr. hopefully i can ace it quickly and go for training.

hope to play singles for RI match XD

2008-01-25T20:28:00.000+08:00

DAMN. 1st test this yr and i totally flunked it.

shall not comment but will just work hard for the re test.

been buried under a lot of hwk lately so havent rly been posting.

this blog might b a little dead in the weeks to come but keep checking back here incase i update!

oh can comps next wk! looking forward to it...

2008-01-19T10:21:00.000+08:00

OMG OMG OMG i can't believe it... The key is to bounce the ball 7 times b4 serving =D haha but i dun think i'll play a match cos nick tan and i were i think the last 2 to be put in. ah well will still work hard nevertheless.

haha i found this on my cousins blog. HILARIOUS!

2008-01-12T11:17:00.000+08:00

So i'm kinda settling in at sch. my appeal din get thru cos smth abt the sch policy these kinda things but then why only let me join in term2 and then haf to catch up with 1 term's worth or work? funny la... and i might wna rethink my decision on joining cse anyw cos it seems rly stressful and tough. ah well i think i'm pretty ok in this class though it still doesn't feel lk 2G07! :D

anyw australian open tmr :D

2008-01-04T18:37:00.001+08:00

I'm in deep shit. i made a big mistake and now i'm trying to undo it. BIG MISTAKE.

hopefully i can though. gna try contacting charles low now...

2008-01-02T18:11:00.000+08:00

School was so xian. and depressing cos i dun think anyone wants to be back in school. and our teachers are lk all different so there'll be some adjustment probs at first i guess but hopfully things turn out well. school juz doesnt feel the same without our 2g07 ppl. really miss them i mean though most ppl i hang out with are with me i miss the class as a whole. and with the whole CSE thing the school really really feels so different from how it felt the first 2 years. sad.

and our timetable is crazy now. we have lk 2 days where we have to stay back until 4. crap. its almost the same timings as the sec 4s doing sp now so yea i think the old sp system is SOOOOOOOOOO much better! if it were still the same i probably would have taken sp.

the school juz feels so different now and it isnt nice :(

i wonder how rhea is doing now...

2007-12-31T10:45:00.000+08:00

wow! sharapova vs chakvetadze was great!

excellent!

the shots were crazy really unlike anything i've ever seen before!

there was so much kick in the serve and pace on the ball i bet i would haf been aced everytime man(duh?)

oh and sharapova's really really tall! lk 1.88 m! omg. and she looks prettier in real life :X

but i still feel quite sad for chakvetadze, i mean nth this event has been abt her- not really any reports and stuff abt her but everything has juz been abt maria...and she isnt a bad player somemore. ranked 6th leh, juz 1 behind sharapova. even when she was speaking b4 the match there was still a lot of talking in the stadium indicating that no one was rly listening but when sharapova spoke, the stadium was lk super quiet. terrible right? i was listening to both though :D

so i was lk supporting her(chakvetadze) last night but was very sure sharapova was gna win cos i think it was her event and she juz invited chakvetadze. the match was 6-0 7-6(12-10 wth?) and i was sure they weren't playing that seriously but still, the shots were topclass. i mean it's not normally the play a tie break until 12-10! it usually ends at 7-5 or lower. and seriously with so many set pts and match pts for both players they wd surely haf gotten it early in a real game, but well it was great experience!

2007-12-27T13:42:00.000+08:00

Hello! I'm back!

Just got back into Singapore Waters yest morning.

The Rhapsody of The Seas is seriously super nice!!!!

it's lk almost twice the size of Virgo and it's just nicer la.

the design and stuff.

and i think this one has more crass also.

but i guess cos this ship is serving mostly ang mors.

it's super nice(i think so anyw, u haf to kinda see it for urself. can't quite describe it.

oh ya and there's a rock climbing wall on board.

climbed it lk 3 times, incl the 1st climb and the last climb on one of the days.

haha. it was fun man.

the shows are pretty gd too(much better than virgo also). there was this stage magic show thing on one of the nights. some John Taylor guy from australia. the tricks weren't really mind blowing but certainly very entertaining. i remb this trick where he got 3 volunteers on stage and was lk asking them questions and replying in their place with the most ridiculous of voices. super funny man! then he got 3 ropes all of diff lengths and when he handed the shortest one(really short) to an indian guy(one of the volunteers abt our age i think)he said "nothing personal buddy". then everyone incl the indian guy laughed and he kinda did a high pitched giggling for the guy to make it seem as if the indian guy was laughing liddat. damn funny. and he "gave" the other 2 volunteers funny voices. one sounds super deep(given o a woman). and another lk he's burping(some guy). super funny.

so anyw the ports of call were at KL, penang and phuket.

bought ehm.

some stuff which shd nt be posted here.

oh and i can't imagine why some ppl abt our age also would want to park themselves at the arcade and table tennis tables(which were next to each other) on the cruise. lk no life man. juz stand there and swipping their cards and playing lk xiao or standing there and playing table tennis for 5 days. wth man.

i managed to play at the arcade once without even paying :D

one of those nerds swipped his card for the jurassic park 3 machine and he thought it din work when it flashed on the screen "press start button". but he din see it and was juz shooting the gun at nowhere in particular. then he was lk "walao i think spoiled already la". then both him and his brother left the machine and my brother and i got a free game :D

haha.

and the casino right so cool one.

even children can go in but cant play.

and we found lk a total of US$4 in total in coins everytime we walked through!

ppl actually forget to take all the coins form the tills after their done!

lol.

but i did lose smth.

My water bottle. the one nick tan gave me(sry!)

i haf no idea where it went! shit. ah well cant do anth abt it.

oh and i played bingo on christmas day too cos kids play free!

cool eh. almost got bingo. i needed a 24 to win and the number called was 25 and another person happened to bingo! wasted. so close. could haf won US$286 leh. well juz unlucky lor.

and basically we juz ate and ate a lot on the cruise cos that's wad u do on a cruise.

but it was a gr8 experience. shd try a Royal Caribbean cruise guys! it's rly good. makes star cruises look so LC.

http://www.royalcaribbean.com/gohome.do

i feel lk going for a 24 night cruise they were advertising for onboard on the Legend of The Seas. Singapore to Rome! and with abt 6 or 7 ports of call in between. cool right? maybe when i retire bah...

2007-12-14T14:19:00.000+08:00

OMG Heroes is super nice!

much much better than ghost whisperer!

seriously!

i have season 1 on dvd currently at chapter 16(much faster than the one which airs on channel 5 every monday night leh :D)

too bad season 2 has noly 11 episodes cos of the writers' strike or smth

oh and Hiro is funny man! his mannerism is cute!(no nt in the gay way. the funny)

and his power is quite cool also. heh

wath Heroes. It's damn nice. not some super hero show lk superman or X-Men or wadever. nice!

2007-12-11T20:25:00.000+08:00

sigh...so close. so disappointing. i lost lk 4 sudden deaths. the outcome could have been different but unlucky me.

ok this won't be an emo post.

i juz wasnt gd enough to win today i suppose. could not settle and couldn't dictate play lk i would lk to. in fact he dictated most of the points and won. and im convinced i had an ace. but well wad to do?

on the positive side, my serve was top form man i think.
and i din rly make a lot of unforced errors but he kept forcing errors.

hmmm but i wasnt happy with my drop shots today.

either hit the net tape or to deep for a drop shot so he capitalise on that.

ah well you win some you lose some.

i juz guess he won cos of experience.

nv lost in the 1st rd i think.

2007-12-06T16:39:00.000+08:00

blah blah blah. hmmm wad am i doing in my blogger acc? there's been nth muh to post abt leh. so really i have no idea why i've juz logged in.

i'll juz blog abt some random things

i'm going to watch sharapova(i know at this point ppl are gna say im some rich kid)! but havent bought tickets yet. they dun seem to be selling fast though. i've been going into sistic quite often but cant seem to get those seats behind the baseline. but those at the side are actually quite close to the court. ah well we'll see how.

i gots a new haricut!

i ate at poolside for lunch today

i think it's gna rain till tmr

i juz started watching HEROES and it's nice!

i got a psp(really!)

i think i shd end this post now.

and hopefully ppl tag(though i fully understand why you havent)

2007-12-01T10:42:00.000+08:00

Good news - i dun haf to play qualifying for under 14!

bad news - if i get through the 1st rdi'm playing the 2nd seed which erm eh to say the least will be hard to beat.

oh and sentosa's rly nice now! really easy to get there too! anyone wants to go?

or wad abt sharapova?

2007-11-20T13:47:00.000+08:00

hmmm i cant wait for season 3 of ghost whisperer! heh middle of this season i thought it was becoming more and more xian but the last episode was super!

i haven't rly been playing well recently but still seem to be grinding out results. dno if that's good or bad. i just cant seem to attack when im playing in a match! dang...c'mon man i haf to play well...

2007-11-19T11:32:00.000+08:00

whoa gena 2 shows on friday with empty climax. 1st show-Ghost Whisperer 2 season finale. damn the storyline was gd man but the ending doesnt solve the whole problem juz that melinda died as the 4 children "saw". she saw the light but her father was blocking it telling her that she is not ready and trying to bring out the evil in her to help the bad spirits etc...and he was quite obviously together with gabriel, who wanted to block the light. the last thing he says is "It's time you realise you have a brother..." before "NOOOOOOO!" as she slips back into the living world. haha so i think its clear that Gabriel is her brother and arch-enemy. see she wants to help spirits cross over while he wants to block the light and do bad things and stuff. and then it ends! the season ends liddat! it doesnt solve the rpoblem of dealing with the strong bad spirits and also not very clear and doesnt explain fully why the ethan's wife's spirit is showing her all the accidents of the past 4 yrs. wlao eh... but it does set the plot up nicely for Ghost Whisperer 3 which im quite sure there will be.

second show Survivor:China. whoa the last part Jeff says "you will not be reutrning to camp directly after this as we have more bussiness to attend to..." right after Frosti got voted out at tribal! thats it! end of show. oh and Amanda likes Erik also! hahaha and so does the 1st member of the jury, Jaime. hehe random.

whoa liddat 2 shows juz left me "hanging in mid-air man".

ah well training went quite well today. i bt yehan 3-1. yay! the tactics worked! but there's still more matches and i'll haf to do my best in all of them in stick to my GAME PLAN.

Oh ya and HAPPY BELATED BDAY TIMTAM! hope u lk my present!

2007-11-15T10:03:00.000+08:00

right so i'll do a review on factory sealed today.

below are questions on the trick taken frm the faqs section. the ones in brackets are my comments.

go to http://www.ellusionist.com/product/dvd+training/justin+miller/factory+sealed+coin+in+bottle.do to watch/buy the dvd...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can the coin be borrowed? - Yes(true)

Can the coin be marked or initialed? - No. The point of this effect is the beauty of the visual penetration, not a detective-like examination of the process. That question comes from your mind, not the spectator's. We never heard it once in all the performances that were filmed, and there were a tremendous number of them that were shot.(true)

Can the bottle be borrowed? - No(true, at least E is honest)

Is it necessary for the coin to be marked or initialed? - No. The point of this effect is the beauty of the visual penetration, not a detective-like examination of the process. That question comes from your mind, not the spectator's. We never heard it once in all the performances that were filmed, and there were a tremendous number of them that were shot.(yea yea...)

Can the bottle be from a vending machine? - Yes. When you watch the DVD, dozens of "routine" ideas will flow from your mind. We at Team E continue to create our own personal routines everyday with Factory Sealed and have tons of fun doing so. We encourage you to do the same.(errrr hmmm im not sure cos i dun own the dvd. probably a diffferent version that isnt shown in the trailer.)

Can this be performed point blank right in front of your spectator's eyes? - Yes.(true)

Can it be performed surroundned - Yes ...there is a beautiful version included in the DVD which can be performed completely surrounded, and MAN does it get reactions. It's likely that you will perform this one more than any other version included on the DVD.(true, but im not sure of the surrounded version. unsure of a few steps.)

Can the penetration take place in the dead center of the bottle when performing it surrounded? - Yes.(true)

Is the factory sealed container clear? - Yes, completely.(true)

Can the label be removed? - Yes.(true)

Do the spectators actually SEE the penetration occur? - Yes, the slower the miracle is performed, the better.(true)

Can the spectators hold the bottle as the penetration occurs - Yes, we demonstrate and recommended this to generate a truly astonishing experience for your audience.(true for the surrounded version)

Are gimmicks involved? - No. The effect in relation to its practicality is in perfect equilibrium. An absolute dream effect.(true)

Is everything immediately examinable after the miracle occurs? - Yes(true)

Are gimmicks involved? - No.(true)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok so here's my review of the whole trick.

one word-GENIOUS!

dun think any1 would have actually thought of using this principle for a coin in bottle. anyw this is seriously genious and realy realy practical have only shown it once so far and it gets really great reactions. that was on dominic choa. haha he thought it was a slit but that's really not true nor possible. water would spill out is there's a slit right? this is really unlike any CIB i've ever seen...

right so anyone getting the dvd? lend me pls...i juz nd to know the few steps of the surrounded version! i'm VERY VERY sure my idea and principle is correct.

today was fun!

training was ok. lost a 3-2(7-5) thriller to goergy podgy. dang. felt i could haf won man but oh well it was fun! there was this point in the t-break where i lobbed him and he had to to retreat back and my view was blocked and i thought it had double bounced liao so i turned ard(fist pump that kinda thing)and the ball came back and every1 was shouting at wad i was doing. bah stupid point. funny though :D and i actually saved lk 4 match points coming from 6-1 down in the tie break to come back 6-5 but lost in the end. damn the last pt was not well played either. the ball was in my blind spot and couldnt get to it. ah well fun though. and hopefully i can still get a place in starting 11...

so went out with dom, timtam and yan liang aft that to watch The Game Plan. nick tan was suppose to go also but last min pang sei ppl. terrible. irresponsible man last min during training then tell me. wth. IRRESPONSIBLE.

anyw the movie was quite nice but a bit cliche though. quite funny also. and i bought TUNNELS! supposedly has potential to b the nxt harry potter or smth according to the newspaper. so we juz shopped ard town a bit and yea that kinda thing.

haha thinking of going out for another movie soon. anyone?

oh and i'll post reviews on bullet and factory sealed as soon as i find time. bye!

hmmm i think my blog posts are getting more and more boring...

2007-11-12T10:59:00.000+08:00

stay positive...stay positive... yea i am still positive abt my playing. shall not mention wad happened today. shall juz move forward...

right so class allocations are out! im in same class as hui yao, dom, sky, bin, timtam and a whole lot of other people im close to! yay!

and i think the whole new system of putting all the sp ppl tgt is gna be a BIG screw up. the sch is lk so messed up now. there are lk only 2 classes for each consortium now. dang. i hope the use the old system again man.

c'mon tmr's gna b a better training session...

2007-11-10T11:08:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was fun!

training was so-so. wasnt playing well at first but got better after a while. back to my old good form i hope. oh and tan chee wee came to hit with us kay? he's not bad actually lk mayb our standard. so we asked coach to play with him and coahc said he din want! i think coach was juz being polite...

right so went bk to keming for some fun fair thing with nicholas, kenneth, jonathan, yu quan, dominic and somehow wong xun yan. quite xian though i muz say the 6jade ppl haf become more creative with the fun fair games. theirs was lk they had 3 big pieces of cardboard with 3 holes big enuff to put their face through then they stand there and ppl pay to throw wet sponge at them. HAHA cool. yu quan wanted to throw his bball... and i wanted to whack the sponge with my racket. haha. so we saw ms leong and i think she was to busy to talk to us. right so we sat down for a while and talked.

then went to westmall for lunch where we met up with jason who had to go for squash friendly ltr. and i taught yu quan factory sealed! trading of ideas. he gave me ego also a while ago. FACTORY SEALED IS CRAZILY IMPRESSIVE AND REALLY BEAUTIFUL! but there still a step in the 2nd version im still unsure of.

right so went to jonathan's house to play xbox, cluedo and stuff before going to street soccer courts to play soccer. oh and met with jia hao at jmoks house also. haha still as funny as ever... miss his spastic, lame and damn funny comments and actions. HAHAHA.

and soccer was fun to just that it was really hot and tiring. plus somemore i went straight after training leh...

looking forward to meeting with u guys again!

anyw i hope my form comes bakc and i hit top form.

2007-11-07T18:57:00.000+08:00

Damn

Training was frustrating for me.

played matches.

i've been playing pretty well for the past week and even monday and okay yesterday.

even coach, jian yi, timtan all said so.

but guess wad?

when it mattered most for the macthes, poof. the gameplay, everything, gone.

played lk shit.

even coach ask me "why suddenly liddat? stress is it? juz relax. c'mon man." after i finished playing with timtan.

yea i probably can't beat timtan outright now but i think it could haf been closer.

but well, things juz dun go your way.

played lk shit seriously. damn. was playing so well for the past training sessions.

i got to buck up my game.

pull myself together.

i dno why i suddenly played so horribly today, after all the past training sessions.

it's frustrating.

2007-11-04T13:39:00.000+08:00

YAY! i got my new bag! it's quite nice. i think so la anyway.

lucky arsenal last night man! scored euiliser in 91st min XD

walao. manu shda won la...anyw it was a pretty gd match in the 2nd half. the 1st half was super xian cos both teams dun rly dare to attack.

right so the whole week has been tennis tennis and more tennis. training in sch from monday to friday and i had private yesterday. but i think im stopping my private for now cos there is a difference between training hard and over-training. i've been playing quite ok except for monday and friday. much better than i expected aft not having played for i think since proed nite. and even that time i din play well cos that was my first time playing in i think 3 wks? yea well i gta continue improving and keep moving forward.

dno wd to post liao...

2007-10-31T19:00:00.000+08:00

Class chalet was fun! but i now regret not having stayed. i thought it would be like last yr when all they did was play xbox and when the room was super small. i was wrong. oh well. it was fun anyway!

I lost to chieh loong 5-3 in fifa07 but i think cos he was quite good and i was unlucky. ah well cheih loong is much much better than ________. hehe i just niaoed him :X

hmmmm but there were a lot of ppl who din turn up though. ah well. and mr tan's son is quite cute! he was like walking ard trying to bounce the soccer ball. picks it up, drops it, flaps his hands ard! haha! me, dom, nick tan and lum bin were playing with him when it wasnt our turn at the xbox/Wii. yes. chieh loong brought his Wii!

it's damn fun!

we played like tennis, bowling(124 eh!), ping pong(its super hard to play though i won!), some shooting thing. The tennis one was fun! haha i told timtan juz now to get nick tan to sponser one for the tennis team so we can train on that instead of PT on rainy days! smart right...Cheih loong nxt time invite us tour house leh! ur Wii damn fun!

right so i'll post some pics here(its taken frm 2G blog la(credits to ryan!), posted here in case you are lazy to go and see)

2007-10-26T17:43:00.000+08:00

OBS ROCKS!!!! OMG its fun man :D

Haha ok so im gna post a day to day recount(note the follwing is in slightly more formal language cos im submitting it for NYAA.)

Dislcaimer Alert:might contain some info that may be disturbing.

Day 1:
Raining at Punggol ferry point. Shucks everyone got really wet. So we waited like so long before the ferrys came and we were on our way...Oh and camp 1 looked really nice! passed it on our way to camp 2, which was the super rugged-with-not-as-good-facilities camp. So then we gathered at the multi-purpose hall and were introduced our group names. guess what my group name was? RAFFLES! like zzz. Haha so then we were introduced to our instructor Pei Lee(the self-proclaimed prettiest instructor at OBS "-.-). She was okay la. quite nice. right so then went to settle the store stuff. timtam and I volunteered for Store-IC thinking it was slack but we were WRONG! Had to like check to make sure all the store eqiupment(life jacket, harness, tents, water bottles, whistles, bag packs, helmets etc). right so then we were handed our rations. whoa whole lot of stuff. right and lunch was 2 buns together with 1 apple XD ok so our very 1st activity at OBS was the trust fall thing. u climb onto a high platform then the rest of your watch whole pull tight a sheet below and you have to just fall backwards. kinda fun. when you first fall you get the feeling of fear because it's like nothing behind you and about to fall into nothingness. but yea well it was okay. so the next activity was belaying practice. it was quite cool. get to do belaying(the guy at the bottom pulling the rope for the climber so that the climber doesnt fall if he lets go of the climbing surface). so there are four ppl in the belaying family(deadweight, belayer, asst belayer, climber) and the instructor asked us who is the belyer in our life and all that kind of stuff. so next, we went to pitch our tents. the pitching was okay but took a fair bit of time. so then did field cooking and cooked the rice and some canned food, ate, showered then gathered for night circle(reflections)and then started a journal(which i'm using as reference as i pen this down). Next was bedtime. The tent was like so stuffy and hot! But just then, it started to rain and we were called out of our tents to sllep in the boathouse. so we had a little 2G reunion. almost everyone from 2G in camp 2 gathered and slept together. Freezing cold at night. It was crazy! so cold...but still managed to get around 5 hours of sleep. Good night.

Day 2
Woke up super early at about 5.40am. So the first activity was morning PT and we just did basic exercises. Then we were briefed on the sea expedition to go around Pulau Ketam and back. then did the capsize test and learnt how to kayak a little. right so i started out with Yan Liang and Timothy Tan in a Tri-Yak. so we kayaked a lot and finally got to the other side of Ketam when the wind and current was very strong. we made it but left some people behind. so the instructors got ask to get off at Pulau Ketam and told us to leave no man behind and stuff and to have lunch(biscuits). so we ate and I now partnered up with Jon to be the last man. we were like helping people to launch and we were the last to leave. so throuhout the journey, we were the last man and the ones who travelled the most distance as we had to keep rescueing people form the strong currents near the shores. almost capsized once but leaned backwards and avoided that. Jon and I rocked at this kayaking! i think we were the most effective of the other sea expedition leaders, who erm couldn't even help themsleves. one was over enthusiastic and wanted to leave Ketam the moment the last kayak docked! ok so we had little breaks in between as the currents and wind was SO strong and it was against us all the time. I felt Jon and I could have completed the whole thing from the lunch break but oh well, helping others and working as a team was more important. in the end the whole thing took over four hours! It was quite tiring! we took 35 minutes to get to cover half the island and the rest of the four hours for the return journey! right so then we had a cooking competition which HILARY won but it did not matter anyway because it was just a friendly competition with no prizes or rather prize for both watches. the instructors (Mauricette and Pei Lee) cooked up something for both watches. The strudel thing they cooked was nice! So then we heard from Kai Yuan's group(Tenzing) that Camp 1 was super nice with good facilities, catered food...Next were some teambuiliding games like Stone juggle, number punch and Traffic jam. it was quite interesting and fun. the stone juggle thing involved standing in a circle and holding a stone in your left hand and throwing to the person on your left and catching with that same hand the stone thrown by the person on your right. The Traffc Jam was a puzzle and the number punch involved team co-ordination. Good night.

Day 3
Went rock climbing! well i only got to try one wall because it was raining and we had to run for cover and did not have time for the second wall. I have the record for the one i climbed though, which was the harder wall to climb! WOW! So we packed our things and hiked to camp 1! YES! PROPER AND CLEAN TOILETS! it was a short hike with HILARY and we reached there quickly. SO we played some team building games(Blindfolded "race", crossing the "river" etc) again before dinner/ which we got catered food! wow! Tired and hungry so we were happy to get the catered food and ate really quickly. Then ar, after holding our shit for 2 days we went to SHIT. Woah damn bloody shiok!(okay this bit will have to be deleted). the toilet was like heaven! haha... So the night activity was some tunnel crawl thing. we hiked a little into the jungle in the dark and were led to several constructed tunnels. we were then told to crawl in in the dark and look for a puzzl in the dark. it was really dark, stuffy, smelly but it was fun! SO we were then suppose to do a solo night walk back to camp 1 but it was cancelled because other groups were doing it also. Sigh. It would have been fun though. Good night.

Day 4
Land expedition. We had to hike around the forest looking for checkpoint trees and performing the tasks. It was quite interesting to look for the checkpoint trees in the forest! And we managed to complete 2 revolutions of the stone juggle thing! wow a great achievement for our watch! Right so we finally reached camp 2 and had to clean up and make sure everyhting was in the store. Unfortunately some things were not and we each had to pay $1.70 each for the missing items. So we then went to the boathouse to get souvenirs(i bought 2 t-shirts, 1 keychain and a mug). Home sweet home.

Most memorable Incident: Kayaking(Really tiring but really really fun!)
Values learnt: Resilience, Teamwork, determination, Leaving no man behind
Application:Work hard no matter how many setbacks we have faced.

Right so here it is. The 4 day recount.

SO today was the last day of sch. sigh. 2 yrs pass rly fast yea? i mean i feek lk we were only in sec 1 a few days ago or smth. not 2 yrs. OMG. time is scaring me...

EOYA was kinda xian. we were still kinda tired and my bowling rly sucked. forgettable score.

OH AND HERE COMES THE GREAT PART. i dun wna niao any1 but im still rly shocked myself. I got an overall msg of 1.0! holy cow! that's A1 for everything! even IS! HOLY COW. we were lk logging into the results thing using the class com and the projector was on. so i logged in nervously and i heard cheering before i even registered whta i had seen! HOLY COW! combined 1st in class tgt with zhen quan and nick low. OMG...I'm really happy. the mugging has paid off!

Hmmm i shall do a write up of the year overall anbother day.

2007-10-21T13:22:00.000+08:00

OBS tmr. heard frm the batch that came back that it sucked o.0

ah well we'll all haf to go anyw so let's be optimistic :D

it'll b lk survivor man! so cool. but not as bad.

i haf timtam in me grp so we'll blow the instructor's minds with totally random err in-the-forest-magic! heh. lame...but i can do disjointed. bringing long sleeve shirts.

seriously, i hope it'll b fun.

but the bad thing is when we come back on thur, there's still sch the nxt day(eoya-bowling) so every1'll b damn tired. feel lk ponning but can't cos muz go collect report bk! sigh. the sch is terrible. dun even give us 1 day's rest b4 going bk to sch and nt even tranport back to sch frm punggol. terrible. i mean we reach bk at abt 4/5pm by the time reach home abt 6/7. then nxt day wake up at 6 again. damn.

terrible yea?

2007-10-20T12:44:00.000+08:00

HAHA yest was fun!

though we lost in the semis of FOS to 2C

but i did score 1 goal against 2H!

but i think we lost cos we were tired. not cos we weren't good.

yea and PROED NITE was fun!

Harapan's show(which was damn zai though he screwed up some parts but it was kinda fun. added comic relief with his covering but overall the routine was AMAZING), the game thing(which kai yuan and mrs khoo owned at), sec 4 testinonial(well juz the pics of "monkey" tangc) were the more fun stuff throughout the thing. the rest overall so-so la. but i think can add in more interesting stuff. yea i think, as harapan put it, proed council is "runnin out of programmes". haha and the feast was not bad. if only they had ordered more. it was lk GONE so quickly. but at least i managed to get 1 helping frm the main section and 2 helpings of pasta.

so overall yesterday was fun!

oh and i nd to get back on form for tennis. super off. been 3 wks since i last played and yesterday's training was mediocre. too manhy mistakes. but i guess i juz haf to practice until im back on form.

2007-10-18T15:06:00.000+08:00

My 150th post!

haha

I'm happy with my results!

4 A1s, 1 A2, 1 B3

i hope my MSG can b below 1.5 overall this year. yea that'll be great!

Proed nite's tmr. looking forward to harapan's performance and i'm still wondering if we won the proed soccer league.

and there's FOS tmr as well so yea it's gna be a pretty exciting day.

:)

YEA MAN! this 2 days have been rly good.
current scores:

Maths A1(60/80)- OMG din rly expect it. so damn hard but luckily they moderated the marking scheme. Congrats to Lao Heng(xiao eh highest! 74/80) and nick tan for being the other 2 who got A1.

Lit A1(21/25,18/25,20/25=59/75. Highest!)

Geog A1(40/50. Lao Heng! Zai la! 41! haha congrats!)

Eng A2(compo A2, compre A1)

Chi B3( haha expected. hopefully can get overall A1. and congrats hui yao and kai yuan for getting A2!)

hehe yea so its been pretty good. hopefully it'll be gd for hist tmr also.

right so we went to SIM to eat today and the service was damn bloody bad. firstly, we went to the guy at the counter and this was more or less the convo:

ME "Can i have a spaghetti Bolognaise?"

"Don't have"

Nick tan "Then what do you have today?

"Oh NOTHING NOTHING.. Nothing everybody go home."(heavy sarcasm)

Nick Tan "Huh?"

" You see the up there lah wa lao eh"

I mean WTH! wad kind of service is this? No wonder so many complains abt bad service. with ppl liddat its no wonder. WTH i was seriously damn pissed and wanted to walk out but erm yea a bit too hungry. xian.

Secondly, my sprite had ants in it. yes ANTS. not 1. not 2. but 3! wlao. so i went to change it. tsk

right so we ordered our food from another counter. zhen quan, lao heng and i ordered chicken chop. and i din realise we were suppose to give the paper with our order on it to the "collection counter", which was where we were KPKB by the guy earlier. so i ended up, being the blur me, taking zhen quans chicken chop(he gave the slip). so then zhen quan did not receive his and went to complain. then lao heng spotted my slip and passed it to the guy. so we ended up have a chicken chop for free! and guess wad? the guy who put the first 2 chicken chop out first was the guy who KPKB us! so it's kinda lk revenge? HAHA.

yea well im probably not going to go back there to eat for a while. service sucks.

right so i hope tmrs hist results will b gd!

2007-10-14T10:39:00.000+08:00

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!! YAY!

but it hasn't quite sunken in yet...

So went out with kai yuan, lumbin, lao heng, jie xuan, hui yao, qifan and oswald on fri to buy things for nick tans bday party thingy. so we bought fifa08 only to discover the nxt day tt some rich guy alr bought it for him "-.-. ah well anyw so fri we went out to orchard and yea ok la quite fun. played with the funny imac camera. shda seen lum bin and oswald's one so funny man! so we juz shopped ard tt area and went home lor.

right so yest was nick tan's bday party and he kinda dao us FOR MOST PARTS(not all la) in his house. but i think cos there were a lot of ppl and its hard to hang ard the same ppl all the time. but yea it was kinda fun playing soccer and table soccer and juz slacking ard and stuff. and the house is super big and nice kay. there was one toilet which was damn bloody big! wth. everyone go there all zi bei. and he still says he's poor and everyone else is richer than him! lk OMG... aiyah orang kaya...the house is prob damn ex so nick! you better treat tennis ppl to tze char ar :)

so we played soccer in a WET field but it was quite fun. and our fos team is looking strong. me, cl, timtam, lao heng, ky were in the same team and we played a lot of passing football. we won 6-3(came back frm 3-0 down leh) but lost the "final" 3-2(shit missed 1 on 1 chace but at least it was on target). but yea well it was fun! haha fell once and got my shorts all wet. then aft tt was water bombs but lucky we zao 1st so din get wet and could use the toilet 1st b4 the whole jing gang mass the place. smart eh?

damn im still amazed by the house...ORANG KAYA! haha nick u cant hide that now :D

and kai yuan also has a PSP! omg... so many rich peoples. haha ky bring for busy bees on thur ar!

oh and i've juz started speed cubing. juz managed to remb the solution lk yest. current record time: 2min 21 sec. yea i know its super slow. haha but im gna train.

2007-09-25T15:00:00.000+08:00

My last post b4 eoyes which start on 8th oct and ends on 12th.
Gd luck ppl!

anyw congrats to those who gt exemption! i missed maths by 1% eng gt a2 a2 a2 but stil nth also. sigh. anyw i'm juz make sure i work damn hard for exams. target: A1 for all(lk whose wouldn't be?).

c'mon man. keep steady.

sch was okay today assembly the usual stuff except for OBS briefing. heard we weren't gna b split according to our classes. shucks

chi lesson suppose to chiong finish the ying yong wen in less than 40 mins but nt many ppl were able to do so so handed in aft sch.

OH and i suddenly remb. yest aft sci rsh module i left my water bottle in the sci lab so had to go there during recess to get it back. but aphelion having lesson inside so a bit weird to go in halfway to go and get wad right so went to jc cafe to get some food and yea well smth rather obscene happened. won't say wad right here though i told some of u all liao.

okay so anyw last fri was last match of proed soccer league and we won 4-3! i think we might have won the league overall with 3 wins 1 draw and 1 lost. and last wk the other class ppl displayed lack of sportsmanship. terrible lack of it. we gena verbally abused by them the whole time during the match but still we won! and 2h ppl. quite bad also. also were abusing and insulting us lk mad. is this sportsmanship? and pencil boxes are also not allowed on the court during the match be it king kong or not. but we din care. we let the feet do the talking and isaac socred 4 goals! i cr8ed 2 and most unfortunately scored(i think) own goal. haha those there would know wad happened. i think we showed rly gr8 character to win despite under hostile conditions. gr8 job guys! oh and dom the last goal was stupid. no offence. i think u know also.

but there were some ok ppl in 2H. one being izumi. he showed good sportsmanship and even told the other classes who were verbally abusing us to kep quiet and even sms-ed dom and isaac afterwards to apologise for bthe ugly match which i think is rly gd.

xian. dno why but i can't seem to b blogging properly. i think this post has been rather boring. yea i know.

and eh thanks hui yao for lending me ur LOTF book!

i juz hope all the mugging pays off...

Will be back to blogging on the 12th of october!

countdown: 13days

Seeya!

2007-09-18T14:55:00.000+08:00

I'm shocked. where gt ppl chew chewing gum for abt 1-2hr then change one? err nvm.

no hwk 2day. means more mugging! :)

anyw the jiao sai problem seems to haf been solved cos ms quah called the estate office to "disinfect"the class. not sure how they're gna do it. wanted to stay and watch but had more impt things to do.like mugging!

MUG!

2007-09-17T17:30:00.000+08:00

Whoa. Playing much better than i expected to b playing after a hiatus of abt 2 wks. damn fun 2day. hard shots. whoo-hoo! was whacking the balls lk mad! and well at least gt 70% in la. haha anyw hopefully aft exams can play very well.

and our class is lk "jiao sai haven?". so much shit everywhere 2day. lk wth? shit all over the place, on table, floor it's mad! shd do smth abt the jiaos.

well hmmm. exams are juz wad 3 wks away? probably even less. damn. i dno why im getting so kanchiong. and limcc haven't even told us the topics tested for geog exam! wth. anyw here's the vid u i was telling u abt.

2007-09-15T13:35:00.000+08:00

MUG MUG MUG...

2007-09-13T15:02:00.000+08:00

Whoa. eventful day 2day. 1st thing in the morning---BLACKOUT. apparently caused by the earthquake last night. but we think cd b cos sch nv pay electrical bills. HAHA. oh and the canteen was smoking also. yea SMOKING. smoke was coming out frm the canteen roof. hmmm actually it might b the gym. can't quiet tell.

so anyw the flag raising guy had to shout. and there were no announcements. then went back to class and the teacher(forgot his name. the one who spammed our door last time)was lk asking to go back into the class though it had a smell of burning carbon and there were no lights! he ask us sit new the windows for light. at a time like this, still wan ask read newsweek in the dark, heat and the smell. dude, we dun wan spoil our eyes and get some asthmatic attack frm the carbon.

Eventful morning. nt sure when the lights came on as we were in LT at SRC then when we came out 2 periods ltr everything was back on. sad case. if only the lights were still out then might b able to go home early! haha nothing wrong with hoping right?

so anyw maths test was okay except for the bloody last question which i din quite understand but only understood it aft the paper. shucks. 2 marks. more of an english quesiton tt one. din understand the question. what "angle of the line joining the top of the two poles with the horizontal". yea din understand it. anyw hope can get A1.

oh and lastly, nice way of wearing headphones nick tan!

2007-09-12T15:31:00.000+08:00

Juz gna drop a quick post here before embarking on my mugging marathon. damn. i'm starting to get a little nervous. lk i dun even feel prepared for the exams. Lord of the flies i can't seem to remb everything. gna rd the whole thing agian and start writing notes. and tmr there's maths test so yea better go mug. anyw here's vid which is so funny! my mum saw it on hossan leong's blog.

2007-09-10T17:51:00.000+08:00

Damn. 1/2 mark = 1 grade. want to cry man. my original mark for chem module exam was 32.5/50. not a very gd score but at least B3. then i had to check the paper in hope of getting more marks but ended up finding one mitsake. Grp 6 periodic table. i wrote as VII. totally forgot my roman numerals tt day. sigh. i kinda blanked out on that day also. so i was debating whether to go tell chua chee and in the end decided to juz tell la. or not tonight can't sleep. so i dropped 1 grade. but then i agian i din lose wad i never had.

anyw chi lesson was suprisingly fun! went to com lab for MASSIVE LAN GAMING. haha jk. well we were playing tangc's aeroplane cheng yu game. quite fun actually. paxton xiao leh get the highest score. 160+ cheng yu correct in a row. but it's 20 cheng yu repeated abt 8 times? and his score was lk 26,000+. mine was a rather pathetic 36 cheng yu. and my highest score is 5.4 k+ i think. thanks to CL cos i knida forgot some. haha anyw hope tmr's chi lesson is go play agian but i doubt so. oh ya. he said tmr gt some funny text thingy.

yea well anyw FEDERER WON!!! He bt Djokovic 7-6 7-6 6-4. pretty gd match.
I wna see federer beat Sampras' record of 14 grand slams. looks lk he can do it. at only 26 and he already has 12. so probably nxt yr shd b able to set a new record.

and HENIN(nt sure if it's pronounced as AN-NAH or HARE-NIN) is also dam ZAI! bt Kuznetsova 6-1 6-3 thought i felt it coulda been a much closer match cos kuznetsova had quite a number of chances to win games but juz wasn't getting the big and impt points(sounds familiar eh?).

Our Men's US Open 2007 singles CHAMPION

Women's CHAMPION!

2007-09-08T10:52:00.000+08:00

WHA Henin owns man. knocked out 2 williams sisters in a row. anyw i went into the US Open website and found this vid. damn funny. so i went to youtube and searched and found it also.

I need to mug!

2007-09-07T20:19:00.000+08:00

Xiao. Sch hols so fast going to end. darn.

been watching US open. yest roddick vs federer was amazing. i only wacth frm the 2nd set onwards and it was dam close. no break pts until sometime in the 2nd set and it went to rodddick but he din convert. amazing match. both were playing well but federer's too god =) roddick was playing very well also but wasn't good enough.

2007-09-06T12:47:00.000+08:00

I'm sleepy. Been playing tennis virtually everyday. But i got to mug later. EOYE in abt 5 wks time. sigh. MUG. i'm gna go mug maths and history ltr.

And i wna change blogskin also but can't find a nice one and no time to do so now.

2007-09-04T13:51:00.000+08:00

Wha. Nick and Jian Yi had to play their doubles at 10pm last night. SO late! anyw gd try!

same to timtanlt also.

not much hwk this hol so i guess i shd juz take this chance to slack.

anyw there's everyday frm 2day to thur. but im not complaining. its fun!

better treasure these last 2 training sessions cos when sch reopens no more training aft exams. quite a dumb idea actually. i mean by the time we restart training all of us probably all alr quite off liao and training can help reduce stress.

oh and dom. i wasn't under stress. juz impatient. to rush liao so ended up killing myself.

anyw im gna watch ra-ta-too-ee(still can't quite speel it) 2nite.
heard it's quite gd.

2007-09-03T10:09:00.000+08:00

The better player sometimes doesn't win

That's life

Juz like how manu lost to manc

I was undone yest

Not because the guy was good

But because he played <<2words>>

"auntie style"(the type where the balls only reach the service line and are very high. something i haven't dealt with and prepared myself for cos i thought every1 will play spin or hard hitting which i think i can cope much better than auntie style)

And i was undone by my own doing

I was impatient

Always rushing to kill the point

Made VERY uncharecteristic misses

Frustration

Some totally crap serves

Dunno why everything juz wasn't going my way

Not braggin but anyone watching would have told you the better player din win

"That guy(me) is a much better player but what is he doing?" Some ang mor guy outside

I created chance after chance after chance but juz couldn't finish it.

Time and time again i came to the net in a perfect position to kill it

But what did i do?

Out

Into the net

Frustration

I killed myself

Shot myself in the foot

My serve was crap

Double faulted the whole of the 1st game

Nerves? Maybe but that's life

That affected my confidence i think

That's where my trouble started

A wrong decision to serve first

Juz cos i was hitting those 1st serves in during the warmup

I was frustrated

It should have been a match which i easily would and could have won

SHOULD. COULD.

EASILY

I aced with my 2nd serve

Hit about 6-7 winners

But that was useless as i squandered chance after chance that i created

IMPATIENCE

I know i've said this but juz wna say it again

I REALLLY KILLED MYSELF

SHOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT

He wasn't very good

Playing like and auntie and the strokes were kinda wrong

But somehow i couldn't kill

But it's nobody's fault but mine

The game was mine to lose

And i threw it away

I could so easily have been down at kallang today again

Might have even won 2day and qualified

All the "could's"

I undid myself

The scoreline was not justified

It was, to say the VERY least, unfair

The score was terrible

Unfair

Anyw i would like to comment on 3 ppl who i saw play during these 2 days

Firstly i would lk to say good try nick tan! u fought hard but erm i think the jap guy was a bit to meng yea? but nevertheless well done for winning the 1st match!

Secondly i would say well done feng juin for never giving up and fighting to the very end and giving the guy a though time

Lastly and most importantly, i would like to take my hat(if i had a proper hat) off to Han Shen for some of the best tennis i've seen him play before and for excellent work attitude/rate and fighting spirit. He really worked very hard against 2 very strong japanese opponents and it was unfortunate that he din progress. he fought valiantly against the 2nd guy despite being 1 set down and he rly worked the guy a lot. A good tennis player with and excellent fighting spirit. and not once did he get frustrated. Fantastic. Hence i take my hat off to you

I guess i'll try again in december.

2007-09-01T11:25:00.000+08:00

I sit here juz hours before my qualifying game

waiting for my light lunch before going down

i'm not nrevous

nor am i overconfident

i'm juz gna do my best

cos that's all that matters

Trying hard and doing your best

And what you take away from every game

What you learn

And how you improve

im sitting here and guess wad i'm doing?
Watching youtube!

i found a cute version of "I Live in Singapura by Hossan Leong

Thanks Han Shen for the inspiring quote
"Do not hope that you're good.
Know that you're good and play a good match.
Winning and losing is just a result.
The process is just as important.
Good luck man!
Win your match!"
-Tay Han Shen

And thanks feng juin for wishing me good luck also!
Gd luck to both you all and KILL your opponents!(no violence intended)

Oh and timtam, i've managed to rip the ph pu ne ne song but i haf no idea why its only 27 seconds.

2007-08-30T15:19:00.000+08:00

wet,wet day. was raining very heavily when i came back juz now. and all of us gt very wet during dragon boating EOTA juz now. but its DAMN fun! :)

but i think they shudda asked us to bring sandals or slippers cos we all wear shoes then all gena very wet. and nt to mention DISGUSTING.

only 22 ppl per boat so unlucky wasn't with 2G. so me kai yuan timtam and yan liang stuck tgt then gt into a boat with remnanats of the other classes. we took the back which was a gd thing cos the boat was kinda flooded when "fights" started. kept rolling to the other boats and whacking water at them. haha. apprantly that's battling with dragon boats. Very fun. every1 took of their socks b4 we left the pontoons but i din. which prooved quite jia lat. my socks were dripping wet. and so was the rest of me.

oh and there was this game where every1 sit on the side of the boat and start rocking. quite fun also but our side nv went low enuff to touch the water. the other side leh... YAN LIANG FELL IN! HAHA. Zai. wanted to follow and fall in cos the water was nice. very cooling and nice. so we pulled him out of the water and he started laughing! LOL. then there was a race in which we came in 2nd last. cos 4 diff classes worth of ppl. nt co-ordinated. oh and mr alvin tan was wet too. but zai la. he was the only teacher tt took part in the dragon boating. wangdk and the 2e stand-in teacher in charge were watching and taking phots and tangc was sitting in a corner and using his laptop.

oh and chem exam jia lat la. i forgot some stuff. but most of my ans were the same as the some of the rest. hope for the best.

2007-08-22T18:04:00.000+08:00

our presentation for the IDP thing 2day was okay la. mayb a little short though. a lot of grps do newscasting. but we creative, do dueling leh! lol. i doubt any1 was listening aft our timtam's grp presented cos the class like become LAN centre liddat. almost every1 all playing CS/HALO/DOTA. haha. some1 shdbring LAN cable. then can have competition.

so we finished early. then went to play soccer a little while.

then went poolside for lunch(long time no eat tze char) with timtanlaitian and han shen :) sambal kankong+soup+rice. zai.

oh and ___________ is terrible.

he wanted to borrow kai yuan's laptop cos his grp dun haf one to do the IDP presentaion and since our grp gt chieh loong's one we lend him lor. but aft a while, kai yuan needed to edit the chinese speech section of our presentation and the data was in his laptop. ___________ refused to return it even though his grp were alr using the class desktop. then can still say "you all have that one alr wad! need this for what?". aft explainion, he ask us to juz use chieh loong's one. we were using chieh loong's one to look for global warming videos and we needed kai yuan's one for him to do the speech, which was stored on his laptop. then kai yuan ar...dun b so erm...soft. fight. it's ur laptop leh. and YOUR group needs it. so i had to go get it back. we gt it back in the end. so then ___________ went to the class desktop where the rest of his grp were and starting complaining VERY loudly "WLAO EH> WE ONLY HAVE ONE COMPUTER LEH!". i mean wth. u were alr unwilling to return us OUR laptop. if u din return we would also only have 1. and since none of you all took any effort to bring, shouldn't it be us to use the 2 laptops, since it is ours????

anyw i wna change blogkin but cant seem to find a suitable one leh.

gna go mug for chem...

2007-08-20T14:48:00.000+08:00

BLAH. IDP/IDS is a waste of time. so xian. abt global warming and sutff. watch "INCONVENIENT TRUTH" in the morning and kai yuan was taking pirated vid of the show. nt bad leh. except that nicholas tan's head kept popping up at odd intervals.

then was some maths programme thing. suppose to calculate mean of CO2 emission and compile into graph or smth.xian. press so many numbers on cal.

then was some sci thing where we were suppose to find out abt wad hardness of water and stuff which i still dno anth abt. the sec 4 trainers juz say wad to do. nv say wda it was for and wad were the solutions used and all tt. but there was this very cool solution where u haf to add drops of smth and shake then will change frm pink to blue. quite cool leh. then if u din put enough it will change back to pink. so u gta keep adding until it stays at blue. cool eh?

but honestly i think people were more interested in spraying "DE-IO-" water at each other. nick tan vs oswald vs jon tan. HILARIOUS. nick tan's back was very wet then dom said "how come aircon u still sweat so much?". lol

and we're suppose to prepare some presentation thing on wed. i think ill go do. then mug for chem ltr. sulphuric ACId(heavy emphasis on the ACI).

2007-08-19T16:41:00.000+08:00

2007-08-16T14:56:00.000+08:00

I am a magician.

I do magic.

I wish to entertain.

Entertainment through amazement.

And amazement doesn't make you look stupid.

Neither do I require you to make yourself look smart.

It's not a look of stupidity on your face. It's amazement.

Too bad you don't have a mirror.

Now, I try my best to do what I do. To entertain.

Receive a smile. See a face light up. After a hard, tiring day.

A clap or two. Enjoyment.

Not bitter attempts at making up for the inability to accept a sudden, short moment of impossibility.

Just an escape from the world of harsh reality.

And you have to slam right back to earth.

People watch for entertainment. People know it is impossible. But yet people still watch magic.

See a child, watch his face illuminate in wonder and fascination.

Why?

For they wish to experience that treasured moment when reality is veiled.

For they wish to enjoy the wonderment.

Why watch when all you want to do is simply to pierce that moment of impossibility?

What's worse. Spoiling that moment for others.

I don't mean to say that by doing so, I, the magician, will look bad.

I won't weep in a corner because you know how my trick is done.

In fact, I don't really care.

It has nothing to do with me.

You spoil it for yourself.

I repeat, I don't care.

But please, don't ruin it for the rest.

Please.

Don't you see the point?

Now, everyone out there who still wants to uncover the art, find me.

I'll reveal everything. No strings attached.

It's not a challenge.

It's a dare.

Quote frm yu quan's(or rather i think its yu quan's shared blog with some1 else) blog. feel that these words are quite poewrful. gena heckled again. was ALMOST successful with my trick until yea, ______ went to heckle. but this stuff happens. and i'm gna look at it with a positive attitude. people heckle u cos u r gd. they dno how its done so they heckle. i think appreciating magic is very important. its lk u see smth impossible. and you go and heckle. and u find out the secret and tts it. gone. spoilt. the effect is spoilt. hecklers spoil the trick for themselves. im sure if its a well known magician performing the same trick as i did and with the same quality, people(as in refering to classmates sch ppl...) wouldn't have heckled but appreciated it. accepted it as genious. accept the impossible. but it was me and hence they dare to fiddle with my deck, heckle do wadever it takes to find out. juz cos we're about the same age and somehow cant bring themselves to accept. but they are some okay ppl in class and those i know off though.

all the tennis ppl are gd. they dun heckle. most juz go "OH MY GOD" and that's it. sometimes the response is "how did you do it?" and they accept it when i say i cant tell them.

some ppl in class. you know who you are.

havent performed for tennis ppl in ages. probably going to soon.

anyw pday tmr. how? dom hasen't done a thing. he cant come online. our ppt nt ready. haven't sorted out who's doing wad. somehow we'll haf to find some way.
gena whacked in the chest by a ball while playing soccer 2day. pain like mad. the wind was lk knocked out of my lungs. we were abt to start a match with some ortus ppl then gena whacked but was ok. end up only played abt wad 2 mins? then rain. i think we could've won tt match though. had a 100% possesion in the 2 mins. HAHA.

okay i gtg. beta go do tan guan chye's xue xi dan or not zon shi pian zian bao.

Sigh...have been rather off lately. 1 wk and that's wad becomes of my serve. and my drilling 2day was shit. but match was okay. except for the serve. bugger. hopefully i'll b back stronger nxt wk or smth. anyw i learned that there's no point getting frustrated when u play. it'll juz make you worse. so that's what im going to do. play every point as it is. dun get angry or frustrated. keep my cool. you'll juz play worse everytime u do that.

proj day in 2 days time. means i'll have to skip training(2gether with timtan and darren) :( wonder how we made it into finals actually. other grps meng lk mad. do lk 1 mth b4 each round and dun get anywhere. we do lk erm...abt 1 wk(sometimes less) before and still get in! lol. looking forward to receiveing all the ace!

hope quah has finished marking all the test papers. want my test back. hopefully A1.
and geog lesson is pretty slack.

quote frm limcc "i have finished your syllabus for this year so you guys can do whatever you want so long as you dun make so much noise and no walking about. you can listen to music while doing your revison or whatever".

zai right?

And he also said the test wasnt that good. shucks. hopefully A1 or A2 lor.

Oh and NICE SHOES hui yao!(random but yea) quite nice. but a bit ex.

anyw im back at my magic. learnt some pretty cool and new suff recently though not confident of showing yet.

2007-08-13T18:05:00.000+08:00

shucks. 21/40 for IS. 13/20 for hist. dang. brings my MSG up to 3.2. shucks.

2007-08-11T10:19:00.000+08:00

AHHHH! so fast sat alr. i hope time passes rly slowly frm now.

anyw spotted 1 mistake in my chem test paper. worth 1 mark. means i get b3. that is if chua chee is reasonable enough to still give me the mark even though she passed a list ard on tue for us to confirm.

as mentioned in earlier post, everyone except me and a few others got their paper back on tue and were suppose to check paper. but i din haf mine. also nt my fault. tue no sci lesson and she only told us abt the checking of test paper on tt morning. not being able to check my paper, i juz ticked my name on the list lor. cos it said "25/40" and that was my marks b4 i spotted the mistake. not my fault i couldn't check my marks on that day. wth. she better give me my marks...

anyw here's a funny quote frm Jie Xuan's blog

["Mr President, permission to march off the field, Sir."
"No."

I wonder what will the parade commandant do if that really happens.
He would probably be stunned and start pestering the president.

"Give me permission lah!"
"No"
"I pump you ah!"
"Wah. Scared."
"Nabei. I use my sword and kill you!"
"Try it!"
"Please? I give you sweet!"
"I want the bunny sweet(Bai2 tu4 tang2)!"
"Sure. Now give me permission to march off the field!"
-Nods-

Joke of the history if that really happens. I bet the whole nation would be laughing at the president.]

haha.

I think i shall go study for chem module exam.

2007-08-10T17:31:00.000+08:00

Hello. Chua Chee is really gd at scaring ppl. she said my marks were "horrible" when compared to the rest of the class. i got a darn 25/40 for chem. B4. got mine b4 the rest cos my mum went to see her during ptg. she say wad "really very bad" and it was "expected" cos of "lack of effort, even in pop quiz". okay. weird. i get lk all above 25/30 for pop quiz and studied i think b4 quite a number of ppl even opened up the chem file. and the class avg is 4.9. highest is mark tern. 31/40. 1/3 of class failed. only 1 A1 i think. i must say chua chee really scared me man. seriously thought i was lowest or smth.

Haha anyw, yest some china ppl came to class and they sat on dom's, kai yuan's and lao heng's seat. and khooyap was talking in a erm...very funny chinese action and was trying to teach maths in chinese. lol. dun think the china ppl understand though.

anyw 2day ended sch at 9.30 and came home. there's training ltr at 2.30 but i think i nt going. got a rather bad cold.

and how ironical that wah jiang called me a "training ponner" when he supposedly has some strange virus that no one has ever heard of which gives him 1 mth mc. right. gt virus. but can still play table tennis. pro eh. andas far as i can recall, the number of trainings his attended under the new coaches can be counted on 1 hand. wow.

and im hooked onto "Do You Know" by Enrique Iglesias. its very nice!

"ping pong"
"ping pong"

Do you know
Do you know

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

If birds flying south is a sign of changes
At least you can predict this every year.
Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly
I can’t get it to speak
Maybe finding all the things it took to save us
I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me
Look in your eyes to see something about me
I’m standing on the edge and I don’t know what else to give.

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

How can I love you How can I love you How can I love you How can I love you . . . .
[ Do You Know lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

If you just don’t talk to me, babe.

I flow through my act
The question is she needed
And decide all the man I can ever be.
Looking at the last 3 years like I did,
I could never see us ending like this.
Seeing your face no more on my pillow
Is a scene that’s never happened to me.
But after this episode I don’t see, you could never tell the next thing life could be

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

Do you know,
Do you know,
Do you know,

Do you know what it feels like loving someone that’s in a rush to throw you away.
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed.

Sad. lost my thumbdrive + locker keys + Osaka aquarium keychain on monday. damn sad abt the keychain. ahhh...

Went to find the techies 2day but he say then din find and no1 reported. sad :(

anyw theres only 3 tests left to go! lit geog and IS b4 the 4 1/2 day hols!

i hope i did well for chem and chi. chi prob getting back paper tmr cos jon has finally done his chi test. chem. erm i think nxt mon. chuachee said some of us din do too well. dammit. scared...

training yest was fun la. only 5 ppl. and i find tt there's no pt in getting frustrated and throwing racket or shouting "AIYOH!" on every unforced error. there's rly no point. aft the unforced error u still gt to play the game. so its best to juz relax, take every pt as it is and dun get frustrated cos the more frustrated u get the worse u play. juz laugh it off or smth and juz forgot it and play the nxt point. i find this has helped me to improve(i think). i mean juz stay cool and definitely u'll play much better.

anyw gtg mug for lit again. alr rd through Emily 2nd time but mayb go rd again.

SPOILER ALERT
I'm gna post my review on Harry Potter and The deathly hallows so those who haf nt read it and dun wna know any spoilers pls exit my blog now. dun say i nv tell you all hor...

Nt bad la harry potter. my "what will happen in harry potter 7 book" got some facts right like snape being gd and Regulus black and kreacher and harry being a horcrux.

theres a much darker tone in this book with a lot of fighting and deaths. Lupin, Tonks, Dobby, Fred, Mad-Eye, Pettigrew, Snape, voldemort(like duh?), bellatrix( killed by molly weasley who shouted "not my daughter you B**ch!") and a lot of other ppl la. J.K Rowling actually wrote that( the b**ch part)! haha.

I like the "battle of hogwarts part" onwards. all dam nice. but those before tt lk the part they go ard looking for horcruxes nt very interesting. seems a bit weird. can't rly explain why. and dumbledore is dam smart. his plans after he died and all tt. all planned in advance.

but still there are some unanswered questions.

lk eh lets see... who was the unexpected witch or wizard who "manages to perform magic quite late in life under desperate circumstances?"(JKR interview in 1999).

What did Dudley see when he faced the Dementors?
"What did DUdley see when he faced the dementors?"
JKR:"Ah good question, you'll find out" (WOrld book day, 2004)

Why are Harry's eyes so important?
"Harry has his father's and mother's good looks but he has his mother's eyes and that's very important in a future book" (Boston Globe interview 1999)

How did the Sirius' mirror end up with Aberforth?

Did voldemort go to godric's hollow alone the night he tried to kill harry?
"was there anyone present in Godric's hollow the night harry's parents were killed?"
JKR: "no comment"(muggle.net interview 2005)

What were Lily and Jame's occupations?
JKR:" Well i cant go into too much detail, because you're going to find out in future books." (AOL chat, 2000)

What happened to the other weasleys lk george, percy, bill, charlie and the rest?

WHo is the new headmaster(19 yrs ltr)?

WHat happen to Luna?

and a lot more la. mayb she'll answer these questions in an interview?

anyw, im quite sad i finished the book actually. no more future books to look forward to. hopefully JKR will write a whole new series altogether or smth. ill definitely buy it. haha k i gtg.

mug for chem.

2007-07-23T12:05:00.001+08:00

actually i feel kinda sad that this book is out cos it means no more "what happens next?" or "when's the nxt book?". no more future books. sad. harry potter was probably the best book series ive read ever! thanks J.K Rowling for writing one of the best(if nt the best) books in history! hopefully she'll write other series nxt time :)

hi. im gna conduct an interview for myself(yea i know it sounds spastic) abt a match which i lost 6-4 to nick tan.

Q: How do u feel about this match?
A: well i think i wasnt playing that well, maybe 30% of wad i can do, but thats no excuse. i created chances with apraoch shots and had many chances at the net and could not convert. i moved him ard but juz could not convert the chances. i was up 4-2 but could not hold it so yea. i juz wasnt good enough today and i have to move on. but credit to him, he fought hard.

Q: Do u think maybe the fact that u have always come SO close to beating him and end up losing it might have played a part in this loss?
A: well it definitely did cos if u've nv beaten the player, there's always that feeling lk u r gna lose again when u play him

Q: Did this match help you improve?
A: Yep i figured out what i have to do

Q: what?
A: well i cant post it here can i? it'll be lk telling everyone how to beat me. I've identified what i have to do and yea ill work on it.

Q: Do you think the score was fair?
A: well fair or not, that's that and you have to take the positives out of it and move on and improve. now i gta improve my game(with experience frm this game) and hopefully the score will be in my favour next time i play.

hmmm mayb ill think of more questions nxt time.

looking forward to tmr! harry potter with Timtam and Hui Yao =)

2007-06-18T18:20:00.000+08:00

yo brothers from another mother! haha. learnt that frm Drake and JOsh. Been kinda addicted to the show recently. 7.30 every weekday on nickelodeon. haha anyw. had 2 training sessions with the new coach(es) alr. and they definitely OWN ex-coach. but the warmup is bad. 5 rounds round 2 courts. doesnt sound tt bad? wait till u know wad i mean. read on... 1st stretch hop on right foot(looks quite dumb actually) then once u reach the corner do 10 situps. after that back paddle and once reach the corner 10 jumping jacks. then hop on left foot and at the third corner do some burpist(dno how to spell.lol) thing. its lk u get into pumping position then pull ur legs in and stand up. this counts as one. this stretch is the MOST tiring. doing this aft hoping on ur left leg(mayb except for timtanlt). and THEN u sidestep and at the last corner do 10 pushups. ok this is juz one round. try doing that 5 times. and this is only the WARMUP. but gd la at the end no pt. plus somemore this PT is better than excoach's(not referring to him by name as most ppl do this days in case he finds this blog while googling his name). excoach's is just running. at least this one got variation. and i think the warmup rly helped 2day. i warmed up pretty fast. training was fun. i played decently today. i think. was king(eh u know king?) for a long time. but still have room for improvement. lack composure at the net. k gtg. bye! oh and if any1 wondering wad xbox 360 game to buy, get Gears of War. quite zai. im stuck at the last boss level :P

2007-06-12T09:46:00.000+08:00

hello! no one tags my blog one. anyw been busy with ace. so nt tt interesting to blog abt. oh and tmr theres 6 jade class gathering =) aft lk dno how long. but i dno whether can go. cos i have dental at 11(probably can remove braces liao.woots!) and they r there frm morning to late afternoon. my dental was suppose to be on fri but hehe new coach coming so better nt miss.

2007-06-07T12:35:00.000+08:00

I dun like taking plane rides anymore. Keep feeling sick. threw up twice. Anyw on the bright side, gold coast was FUN. The theme parks were almost the same as errr 8 years ago. except for some changes. movie world was quitegood. scooby doo spooky coaster was lk so fun! i know the name doesnt sound that thrilling or intimidating but yea it was GOOD. better than disnyeland's space mountain. dam zai. the backward drop. plus somemore it was in this dark area. lk space mountain. The flume ride thingy was pretty gd too. Next, SEA WORLD. So-so la. not that many rides. mostly lk water shows and stuff. i took the flume ride again and yea, gd.

Actually hor im just going through the main highlights. not going into detail.

So after that was...........AUSTRALIA ZOO. And CRIKEY isnt it gorgeous. steve irwin's zoo was very nice. looks a lot more natural than our zoo, as in it had more like rainforest and dunno-wad-kind of trees and stuff and less structures. So it was more natural. And everything was like more spaced out so the zoo was really big! around twice the size of ours? but then i suppose its cos they have more land. Oh and we went into the CROCOSEUM as well. it was really cool. but looked much smaller than on tv. but it was nice though. the crocodile show there was ok la. same stuff that steve does- the feeding and all that. but the show woulda been nicer if he had done the it. so like behind the crocoseum was this whole row of zookeeper oufits with many farewell messages and stuff frm ppl to him. very nice zoo. oh and they also named the road outside the zoo "STEVE IRWIN"S WAY". haha. oh and they were really merchendising him. a lot of things like caps, t-shirts, water bottles, mugs, and even toys etc had him on it.

nxt few days were shopping. went to chinatown in brisbane which was kinda dead then went to queen street. its this very long street full of shops and stuff but all quite ex. including the parking fee. guess how much we paid to park there for 1 1/2 hrs and chinatown for abt an hour? $32 SING DOLLARS! MAI XIAO XIAO. carzy one. the parking costs a bomb. now orchard road seems like a rather cheap place to park. LOL. right, so near paradise centre(the service apartment i was staying at) there was this ang mor pasamalam. cool eh? quite interesting stuff. there was this shop selling aussie notes(fake one la) with cartoon characters and stuff on it. looked quite cute. then there was this magic shop selling some gimmicks like the burning wallet and stuff. din buy. not really fond of gimmicks. and the next day we went to carera(nt sure got spell wrongly or not) markets. not many interesting stuff except for a bird like whictle which u put into ur mouth and blow or smth to make u sound like a bird. quite cool. really sound like jiao.

Dreamworld was really good. i took the CLAW with me mum. Very good. but i felt a little giddy aft tt. its basically lk a spinning viking ship. go google it to see. one of the big 5 thrill rides leh! very good. experience 0 gravity at certain points of the ride. very good. it swung 9 stories high leh. nice. a lot of rides at that place. go google dreamworld australia to see. and i rode REPTARS RUNAWAY COASTER 5 times! nt that scary. but ok la. I LOVE COASTERS. i remb i took my first thrill ride here at dreamworld 8 years ago. and been addicted since. i dun think many of u ppl reading know that i am a thrill ride fan. so yea. now u know. but i dun like taking things that just spin around in circles. makes me really sick. oh and speaking of spinning there was this ride called vortex. u get into this carraige(and stand) and it spins like xiao. so u really feel the centrifugal force. and can climb up the wall and stuff. cool eh.

k this has been one of my longest blog post. cya soon!

Haha this morning there was this fire drill. well we din actually KNOW it was a fire drill until ltr. then every1 was lk strolling to the terraces. HAHA. and we saw JFL at the bottom of our flight of steps. 1/2 expected him to catch a lot of ppl for socks but instead it was "Huddy Ub, move to one side. don block the staircase". Phew. and our timing was 5-7 mins in getting down to terraces. LOL. miracle man considering everybody was strolling. it was super darn hot at the terraces. but we managed to skip a little bit of lesson time =) but it was khooyap's tt we skipped =( so after tt was lit and we saw that Ms Maclaren person. dun know much abt her cos she juz sat at the back of the class and observed jing kai and lao heng's presentaion. hope she's nice.

this morning was terrible. i woke up super sleepy and for the whole time until recess i was lk super tired. muz b the effects of the medicine i took last nite. sigh anyw felt better aft recess. and quahlh is leaving us nxt term! aft she has shown some signs of being a pretty gd teacher. sigh... sad. will ms u Ms Quah! so this ang mor by the name of Ms Maclaren will b taking over o.O so we were lk "if she's big(u know wad i mean) we can greet her lk "gd morning Big Mac"" lol. pretty lame stuff.
and i juz realised my msg is nt 4.1 after all! its act 3.7 but tts bad enuff...

Our match against 2E was a total disaster. we lost lk 8-3 :( wth la. i was playing quite ok, breaking up their attacks and stuff. but honestly i feel we din deserve to win cos every1 was underperforming.no offfence to anyone. chieh loong was lk non-existent. dominis juz missed the best 1 on 1 with keeper chance of the comp and miscontrolled all the nice passes and was careless with the ball. Isaac went up to much and conceded cos he couldn't get back in time. Mark had problems keeping out shots. i din close down ppl fast enough and was careless with possesion also. so nxt wks match will be crucial. we win we have a chance of qualifying but we r level on pts with ah bung but they have a game in hand. hmm... hope we can lor.
