OMG! I am CPC. So far, one week has passed quickly without any major cock ups.2 more weeks to go! Hopefully, I will learn more things faster through this tenure of mine. Its actually quite fun to be in-charge as you can finally voice your targets and anything you are displeased about the platoon without fear of being insulted whatsoever. Time is starting to pass quite fast...maybe its because we are being punished less frequently...doing less push-ups.HAHA! Alright, enough for now!

At OCS

2007-07-22T16:19:00.000+08:00

Come to think of it, I haven't been communicating with a wide range of people. My friends, close friends and acquaintances have been people within my frequency. In NS, I finally realised that there are so many more people out there who are totally in a world I never imagined. To speak to these people is really so new and fresh such that sometimes it's hard to believe this is actually Singapore.

I am so ignorant to all these.It's time I wake up my idea. Speaking of which, great power comes with great responsibility. Am I able to shoulder the burden? Am I able to endure 8 more months that will gradually get tougher?

POP LOH!

2007-06-13T21:42:00.001+08:00

POP LOH!!!!!!
Finally BMT has officially come to an end. No more Guard Duty...No more Confinement...No more 'NEVER MIND WHOLE LOT KNOCK IT DOWN!!!' for at least the next 12 days or so. I can safely say that the whole of BMT was a really new and fresh experience. I never knew I was so blur until I got there. Even after 2 months or so, I still find myself quite a blur person.Aawwwww. Thank goodness I have a buddy that will always help whenever I need it although he has a caustic tongue and a penchant for 'xia lanning' people. My commanders were great too! Platoon Sergeant is charismatic with his trademark hand sign when he is disciplining us.The other sergeants have their own habits and funny catch-phrases too. All these help to make BMT life much more interesting or bearable for some.

Handling of Weapons was quite a new experience for me. Luckily, all thanks to everyone...I was able to pick up quickly. Firing was shiok! Hitting target even more shiok!! But good things about firearms comes to an end there. Drop rifle once = carry on 20. Didn't oil properly = tio scolded by armskote seargeant and carry on unknown number. Don't hold weapon properly = get scolded. Leave weapon without any rounds inside = Guard Duty or Confinement + (sergeant laugh at you and give you the it's your problem look). Didn't easespring or close dust cover = unknown punishment...but if it's a punishment...it is bad.BOO...

Come to BMTC also learn combat skills. They call it BCCT. Honestly, we do look a little bit like fighting clowns when we do it. Just looking at some people kick and punch the air can make you laugh more than you normally do when watching Mr Bean. Kicking and punching around in uniform just doesn't look right. Some people's pants are so baggy they look like rappers out to pick a fight.SOC was fun, it's like a playground for soldiers. But this notion is probably only true to those who can complete the SOC in the allocated timing and are just trying to better their time. I especially like things high up like the balancing log thing cuz it's quite fun to balance on a high place.EXCITING AH! HAHA!

Out Field!!! AAAAHHHHH! Everytime we go out field, main form of transportation to camp site is bus 11. And after all the travelling and singing...we get tekan when we arrive at the camp site.Field camp and Sit test...all also got free push-up with LBV on. Other than the punishment, the things we learn are rather interesting. Too bad I didn't spend more time learning how to tie better and more secure knots,if I did, my Sit test won't have so many failures.HAHA!!!

Throwing of live grenade was again a great waiting experience. In the army, one gets to wait to rush and rush to wait. I spent half a day waiting for my turn to throw the darn grenade. The wait gets very annoying everytime especially when recruits are not allowed to bring any devices to entertain themselves. So, if sleeping is not allowed, you get 200 grumpy recruits swearing at the commanders under their breath.

The dreaded 24km route march was like a fast stroll in the park. After the first 12km, my soles were aching like crazy.However, there was a long break for dinner to compensate for all the fatigue built up during the first 12km. From the 12km to the 20km mark, we were literally zooming on the road. Silhouettes of the trees on the sides of the roads were blurry as we marched down the road in the night. Though it felt like ages before we reached our checkpoint(which is after every 4km) we always pulled through despite the load and sianness of the situation.Finally, after all the singing and mutual motivation we shared with one another, we arrived at company line before midnight. Though the feeling wasn't orgasmic like what the CO said it would be like, I felt glad that I had went through the most gruelling challenge BMT could throw at me. =D

After the 24km route march, we had quite a lot of admin time.Meaning, time for ourselves where we could do what we wanted.In addition to that, we had a lot more drill practices to prepare for the graduation parade. Graduation parade had no hiccups that I could think of. Hence, I would say it was a GREAT SUCCESS!!!

Here, I am now.Back at home chilling. In a few days' time, I would be posted to my new unit with new challenges ahead. Strive on I shall !! =D

BMTC life

2007-06-09T20:31:00.001+08:00

BMTC was fun. Nice experience.Will blog more once I POP. Snow and Serene please wait.Sorry for the inconvenience caused.=D

Peering into the future

2007-04-04T21:25:00.000+08:00

This blog may be neglected for a few weeks, but readers do not fret cuz army will be so full of stuff (or nonsense) to blog about that my posts may become exponentially longer than what I usually type. So all the best to myself and all the other yet-to-be-Tekongnians.^_^ Time to eat!

2007-03-27T20:35:00.000+08:00

A few more days and I will be entering the Army as Recruit Lim. My jungle of a head will be deforested to a planetary orb devoid of foliage. My skin which has been pampared by the evening sun shall face the scorching heat of the Tekong afternoon. There would be no Ramen, or Sushi or even Char Kway Teow there to fill my tummy,only mee and rice.My life will change drastically but I will make new friends, and test my physical limits. It's my chance to train with my peers and improve along with them. Many say that BMT is the best phase of military training unless you are admitted into OCS. Hence, I will make the best out of my BMT. Hopefully my peers will have the same sentiments that I do, or hopefully, even more enthusiastic spirits.

Photography. I always have had a little interest in beautiful photos. Now that I have the chance to learn something, I should really take this opportunity to learn something that interests me. Maybe someday I would be able to take photos that are good enough to go along with quotes by famous people. Haha. That would be a dream!

My computer gets disconnected easily. Anyone knows how to solve this problem? Maybe this could be a blessing in disguise all along, preventing me from playing too much dota. yayzZzZzzzz...Oh yeah, I am really a big eater if I am really hungry.

This goes to show that I do have the potential to put on weight. For those of you wondering about that bottle of Heineken, yes , I did have a mug or two from it. It tastes like Tiger though. Anyone interested in night makan at Old Airport Road hawker centre please tag me. Honestly, the hawker fare there is IMBA! Throw a stone at 10 of the stalls there and 2 would have been visted my makansutra. 3 out of the 10 would have been visited by the now defunct Chen Ren Za Zhi show. 7 of the remaining 10 would have been interviewed by the chinese newspapers. Haha. Tempting? It's cheap too! ^_^ Time to eat!

Festival of Chicken

2007-03-16T01:11:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was the Festival of Chicken.Supposed to send Anan off before he become botak but too bad, he couldn't make it.AAWW. In the end, 6 of GD ended up having an outing to Seoul Garden to makan all the chicken they had cuz no pork and no beef. Kenneth and I took one mountain of chicken. Eat finish liao I still don't feel full. Can eat more. But Seoul Garden closing le. So sad, if not, More chicken = more luck. Cuz more birds = more luck. After the Festival. We chatted at the steps of the MRT about army stuff. LOLX, cannot find a better place to talk,must talk at the steps.HAHA.

In a few more weeks' time, I will be botak and serving NS. Hope I won't be a blur cock and hai my platoon-mates. Hope my platoon got no blur-cocks too. So long never botak le, I wonder how it will feel like sia. I hope my head wun chao ta as it has not seen the Sun for ages.Wait develop phobia to light, then huat liao. Then more weeks no dota...ZZZZzzzzz sian. Hope army will be a breeze for me.LOLX, meaning...if I tio either Mohawk, Ninja or Orion, I will not have my wish fulfilled. Better start training soon, or xia suay myself at Tekong. Time to eat!

Random things for a random post.My all-time favourite movie is the sound of music. The songs they sing are so simple, but so timeless. Sometimes, when you are feeling down, you just want to remember your favourite things to cheer yourself up. Other times when you are feeling high, you may wanna climb every mountain. And just about anytime when you suddenly think of singing, you may wanna start from the very beginning.

Oh! I miss that movie so much. HAHA! XD

Laughter is the best medicine.I have no idea who created this quote but I sure think its true. In the scientific sense, laughing helps release hormones that can relax the body and in so doing, cleanse it. These hormones also have therapeutic effects all around the body. More laughs = more health, just like more birds = more luck. No wonder comedies like night in the museum, movies like talladega nights and moviefilms like Borat rake in the big bucks. Ordinary people like you and me just wanna have a good laugh.

Who can teach me how to survive on 2--3 hours of sleep everyday for a few months. I have a feeling I will need to master this art of sleeping minimally whilst operating maximally soon.The Army won't be kind to me,neither will I pamper myself too much in camp. Too bad I will have to extinguish the dream of the red beret sitting jauntily on my head.Oh well.

WOW, I can actually survive without DOTA! AMAZING! HAHAHA! This is definitely worth blogging...*pause*..NOT!

By the way, does anyone have any nice buffet outlets to recommend? Nice = cheap and good food. Cheap = less than 30dollars inclusive of GST. Time to eat more and store up the excess for use in Army.

Xuatz if you are reading this, SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND GO AND STUDY.

In about 1 month's time, I will be undergoing a new phase in my life. It is said that Army changes boys to men. How true is that? Lets wait and see then. Need to get rid of some immaturity left over after adolescence.And hopefully, I can be a better man! Oink! This post is random enough. Time to eat!

2007-02-27T22:59:00.000+08:00

Is there such a thing as THE ONE? I think there is.BUT, it's so unlikely to REALLY find that person so much so that I can safely say this happens only once in one's lifetime,or sometimes never at all.Love is already hard to come by,needless to say, finding that special someone is astronomically much harder. Some people don't give love a chance. Instead, they get a spouse as soon as they can. I see pros and cons in these kind of marriages. I don't look down on it for your information!

Why do I say that? I believe if both parties can accommodate, tolerate and love each other as long as their marriage lasts.Despite not being really madly in love at first sight(there must have been some mutual attraction at first), their love can develop during,after and LONG after their marriage.Of course, there is the sad scenario where the couples are incapable of loving one another enough and the matrimony turns sour.Whatever the case, it sure beats waiting or looking unsuccessfully for the right person to turn up.I guess to these group of people that just whack and find a spouse believe that its better to have loved than to have never loved before.

However, there are also some people who believe in finding 'The One'.Life is a gamble,and when you gamble, luck is involved. This second group are people that live life passionately. They choose the path that most more conservative Asians seldom take. To them, its either true unconditioned love or just a simple life without that aspect of romantic and sensual love.(There is also filial love and love between platonic friends).Though the feeling of finding that special someone is way beyond words,these people face a problem.How would they know that the person they find is really 'The One'.Is there a foolproof way to check?And if they already are married to their 'The One' after searching for many years and one day they regret their decision,what are they to do?Is your gut feeling for that few years able to last you half your entire lifetime? Seems daunting to me.

What do you think? Any comments?

This post is open to comments because these are my views.I don't know even know which group I would want to follow yet.

2007-02-24T01:29:00.000+08:00

Today marks the day where rz has the last supper with us... till late this year that is. There weren't 13 people present, nor will there be a traitor in the midst. This night was filled with jokes that cracked us all up and we just discussed many interesting things over a dinner of steamed pomfret and black pepper crabs. Dinner was filling and satisfying. Lr 'summarised' Ghost Rider for rz and I in less than 3 hours. Not bad! Xuatz din wanna hear though.

Dr J even planned on sending us on a cruise in the near future. Hopefully he will still remember his words by the time Lr reaches rz is back from Down Under. Long gu also shared some of his life's stories with us, like how he met his wife and how he was unrecognizable after his ranger course.
The evening was seasoned with light and sometimes abs-inducing humour where you laughed till you feel your abs forming. Although it was a pretty simple dinner, I would like to thank Dr J for having the generosity to treat us before rz flies off to complete his degree. Good luck to rz from The Cousins and Dr J! May the force be with you.

2007-02-12T11:34:00.000+08:00

HAO! A new post it shall be!
HAHA, I thought no one visits my blog anyway, hence my laziness. (Bad excuse).
Alrighty then.
So far, I have just officially ended work as a Secondary 3 math matters(thats the name of the current sec 3 students) solution typist. In simpler terms, I just ended work as a saikang king.

My job is simple.So simple you would think simple plan was complex.(yeah lame is good)
My job:
Type.Type.Type.....think a bit....on what to type and just type more. Most of the time, I have to formulate my own solutions to solve the math questions in the book. Some other times, I just need to type. Though my job sounds 'too good' to be true for some of you slackers out there reading this blog, wait till you hear the BEST PART!

I have to type all these stuff into the publishing server with an awesome, one-of-a-kind, probably the most shocking thing you have seen in a decade computer. Now let me elaborate.

First and foremost, it's a supremely laggy pentium 2 com. SMILE! :D. It was operating on windows 98 ( I wouldn't be surprised if it was windows 95.) With this kind of computer still in existence, it's no wonder I totally 'enjoyed' using that computer. For your information, I didn't even bother playing minesweeper for fear of lag, even when I had spare time.

Secondly, my microsoft word was a shocking windows 97! Woots! Let's see, I was Primary 3 then! After more than 10 years, (I have graduated from JC already), my company still refuses to upgrade that piece of scrap metal and the obsolete operating systems inside of it. WOW! At a certain point of time, I was thinking that even the 100 dollar laptops the impoverished children under the OLPC scheme(one laptop per child scheme, correct me if I am wrong), would be laughing at me and my metallic sidekick some 'working' together to defeat the evil math questions and save the world before dinnertime. At least they weren't operating on a pentium 2 processor in our current world which is already using processors like intel celeron D or windows vista or windows XP to say the least. My microsoft word didn't even have a button for BOLD. I had to press ctrl+ B to make my words bold, which I needed to do very often. Oh my tian, and microsoft word actually LAGS! Which office-standard computer actually LAGS when using microsoft word!

Last but certainly not the least, my computer crashes like free. Serious. Microsoft crashes sometimes. Windows crashes sometimes too. It's like as if they take turns crashing. Here's something I thought of. You watch!

microsoft 98 OS: Eh word, this dude type math so for about 3 hours liao leh. I think he on fire liao, want to ji siao him a bit or not?! :D

Word: HAO! :D

Me: eh, how come the stuff I type cannot be seen. sian...(went to ask my friend to help me fix the problem.)

My friend: Got save or not bro?

Me: Eh, I think I saved quite early leh, just now do until on fire liao ah, forgot to save.

My friend: Sorry dude, I also tio a lot of times. Restart com la, bo pian.

Me: ... ok lor.

microsoft 98OS + Word: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!! GREAT SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A few weeks later...after more crashes from Word...

Word: eh, now your turn la.

Microsoft 98 OS: Prepare to laugh your motherboard off. :D

Microsoft 98 OS: Your local C:\ drive has insufficient disk space. Please save your work on another drive or your work will be terminated.

Me: WTH!!!!, the C drive is more than half empty! Oh my WU ZE TIAN!!! I think I didn't save again...

IT dude: Erm, I dunno what's the problem, wait boy, I try fix it, you go do other stuff first.

After a while...

IT dude: Registry corrupted.

Me: How can that be, I am not even connected to the internet(my com doesn't even have internet access).Surely no worm or virus could have infected the computer.

IT dude: *shrugs shoulders*

Microsoft 98 OS + Word: GREAT SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *thumbs up*

Well, that sort of sums up my working experience with my computer there.

My colleagues are really not bad. There is this illusstrator there who is super jovial. Very interesting guy to talk to. And his drawing is really very cute and nice. There are also some mildly queer adults working in the company but I shall not elaborate.

The canteen vendor there is also an interesting guy to talk to. He managed to sum up his army life for my friends and I to listen. Hence, I can say I gained much more insight into the workings of the army. And my friends who worked with me, thank you for your support and the fun we had talking and gossiping. HAHA. Hope that I can find another job with such a unique working environment. PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME A PENTIUM 2 COM THOUGH! THANKS!

-Good luck to ALL 'A' Level students about to collect their results!!! :D-

2007-02-04T00:04:00.000+08:00

WOOTX! Hushi Monster's wedding was a GREAT SUCCESS!!! VERY NICE!!! The food was very delicious except for the sea cucumber.Haha. Our cousin's table was filled with laughter and crappy jokes. Xuatz did his stuff, so did leeroy and xuatzeneggeress.LOL. RZ also entertained the 3 lil clowns; 2 shaolin monks and 1 lil cute boi. HEY GUYS!!!!!!!!! HAHA!! This blog sucks cuz, the owner is too noob to put pictures taken during the wedding. Thats all for now. :D

2007

2007-01-24T21:57:00.000+08:00

2007 has brought a new phase of life for me. I was exposed to the harsh-working world abound with conmen. So far, the only decent job I have undertaken is the part-time job at sitex. Other than that, I have really been quite miserable trying to give away vouchors or typing math solutions in an office. Since many of my friends from jc either live far away, or are working, I hardly have the time to meet up with them. At this rate, we may never even meet up again in the future. Great friends are hard to come by and thus I believe I should make an active effort to bond all of us together, lest I allow time to separate us. Life has also become monotonous and nothing interesting is really happening to me everyday, so much so that I don't see the need to blog about it at all.

My sister just reminded me that V day is coming. But, the current outlook tells me that my V day will be another normal day. No chocolates, no flowers, no Valentine. Oh well, looks like I will probably end up having a date with dota.blah~

I may just continue working with my current job. Oh my tian, someone please come and offer me a better job please cuz I may not be able to tolerate this place any further.Working in town sounds like fun. Maybe a kind soul will offer me a townish job.

I still have so many things not done. My life is getting very messy. Got to start grabbing the reins.Oh well, I hope my friends and I are all blessed with good 'A'level results, cuz 2007 sounds like a great year to start afresh.

-May the force be with you-

The New Year 2007

2007-01-03T01:54:00.000+08:00

Ah, the new year has finally come. 2007. Didn't really have a countdown party. I spent the last day of 2006 enclosed in a house in KL,watching the new year celebration in the heart of Taipei...What 'GREAT FUN!' To make matters worse, I was the only one watching. No one in the house was excited about the coming year or toasting each other to good health or tearing at each others' underwear...how BORING!! Maybe thats because most of the people in the houst have already experienced almost or more than 50 new years...lol. Well, I was the youngest in the house. =D

After the BORING new year 'celebration'. I went to sleep, and I dreamt of nothing...How BORING!! However, the next day was not a boring one. From morning till night, my dad and mum and I went to visit a friend of my dad. He brought us to an Arab restaurant for lunch where I experienced a new cuisine. Arab food tastes not bad. I tasted some never tasted before food whose name I never saw before and sadly, never remembered. However, Arab food focuses a lot on the appearance. I remember, in the menu, was a quotation in italics saying: The eye eats first. Man! The way the food was presented definitely required skill and practise.However, I wouldn't say it was top notch. After lunch (which was quite filling and satisfying) I stayed at uncle's house with his 3 children while the adults went to see uncle's new house.

I tried playing the PS2 games my host offered,but due to my utter laziness to find out how to play PS2 games,especially the more RPG ones, I just managed to get myself into a deepening slumber...while playing...YES!! WHILE PLAYING! What a lazy clown I am.After the adults came back, I was forced to play one and 1/8 songs to 'entertain' the host. There were mistakes everywhere!!! Bet my hosts would have felt sorry...for the piano...if they were listening!

Dinner was at a coffee shop with really good chinese food.Supposed to makan crabs, but in the end,all the crabs were booked beforehand to be makaned by other people later. AAWW...no crabs to makan. In the end, we still had some nice prawns, duck, some beancurd thingy that was my favourite and vegetables. The fish was quite nice too. Dinner was really filling and satisfying.
After chatting with the malaysians, I feel that Malaysia may not be so nice after all. I shall not elaborate too much on this...later I go jail, then cannot serve NS = sad :(

Just came back to singapore at around 4 today. I miss my friends already!!! I cannot wait to kick some balls (soccer) and play some games (dota). These few days, nothing really interesting happened. Maybe the new year will bring some interesting things worth blogging about.

P.S. Version 6.39 is out! go DL

DotA Rampage!!!

2006-12-18T01:29:00.000+08:00

This weekend was drenched, soaked, saturated with stay-overs and DotA.On Friday, I had training as usual and after a not-so-bad run at Turf City (given my current fitness),I headed down to J8 to watch a movie with some trackers and Dehai.LOL! The Holiday is a great movie! Anyone wanting to watch a pleasant movie for the holidays should definitely go watch The Holiday. =D V Anyway,after the movie, I headed down to Clementi by the red line on the mrt.HO,from Bishan to Jurong East via Woodlands is quite GGfied.Anyway, the tao session at xy's house was about being filial and its importance though seemingly eclipsed by the other virtues and moral values.I think it has something to do with, being filial will lead you to be able to embrace,cherish and propagate even more moral values to more people.Yeah, thus its importance.In short, a typical tao session at xy's house.

Maphack is now so evil.A maphacker can now see whatever skills any hero learns.It can even tell the user when any hero is going to cast a spell and of course whether a spell is in the midst of cooling down.All these information is usually guessed intelligently by the enemy.Now with this evil programme, it totally defeats the purpose of being a player altogether.Games are spoilt and much hatred is sown during originally friendly games when the opposition accuses opponent(s) of maphacking.I have nothing much to say to those who maphack.Enough anger is already spread and thus I do not wish to insult anymore.Any current maphackers reading this entry, please, think for a moment and reflect on the morality of your actions. If one cannot even play a game with integrity, I worry for the other things in life where one's honesty is tested to the limits.

Anyway, after chatting with xy for a while.A few cousins and I headed to xuatz's house for stay-over.Supposed to teach him some math but failed.Oh well...xuatz can always ask me if he needs any help.I will always help with all my effort V (^_^) V. DotAing with cousins on the same team is imba.We either win every match or own every match.HAHA. My cousin and I played till quite late on friday night.Not bad, not bad.My skills despite its inconsistency is still decent enough to make me an acceptable team player.

The next morning,I had to go to Health promotion board for my dental checkup.Found out that my brushing technique needs some brushing up, (pun intended).The scaling was painful during some parts especially the more sensitive parts of my teeth.After the appointment, I rushed back to Jurong to continue my DotA.HAHA.Ooops, I think I sound quite hiong now.When night fell on that Saturday night,my cousins excluding xy and my sis were already conveniently at xuatz's house.DotA games lasted from afternoon to night. Since my parents were far far in the east,I went over to rz's house to camp.MORE DOTA! Ok, people reading this entry must be so sian of that four-letter word already.But I tell the truth!! HAHA!! Alright, enough nonsense ; I still have to wake up early tomorrow morning for training in the morning.Yup. Have fun and enjoy the holidays everyone!!

-I am still swift and strong...or at least I still THINK I am swift and strong-

This is life.Cest la vie

2006-12-14T01:52:00.000+08:00

I heard these three words before; cest la vie, meaning :that's life.Life is full of surprises.Sometimes they are pleasant ones,while sometimes they aren't.Life is full of mysteries,sometimes they can be solved and explained,then again,sometimes they just continue to baffle.Life is full of obstacles,one has to overcome them to carry on to the next stage of life.And thus,one should not give up in the face of adversity.If the wright brothers had not dreamed of flying,I may have to use a sampan to travel to New York = GG.If Thomas edison had not invented the lightbulb after thousands of trials and errors.My fellow earthlings may still depend on oil lamps which will be so expensive due to the rising price of oil = GG.If Pythagoras did not come up with his theorem, we will all be stuck at secondary school math!!! = GG!!! As you blogders out there can see.Life is mostly about hard work and believing in yourself. Of course, there is always an element of luck somewhere,hiding in some nook or cranny.But my friends, luck favours only the well-prepared.Be brave and live life boldly. I shall end off with a chinese saying: ming2 zhi1 shan1 you3 hu3, pian1 xiang4 hu3 shan1 xing2. Meaning, facing your problems with courage. :D V

-Laugh in the face of danger,for laughter is the best medicine,LOL,ROFL,LMAO-

Big Bad Boy

2006-12-10T01:10:00.000+08:00

After eons without proper training,the god of slack has managed to curse me with lousy fitness. Without exercise, good food and a hearty appetite, I may have a hard time shaking off this menace. Speaking of which, maybe a kind soul can advise me on what to eat and where to find wonderful pieces of morsel.Its also high time I started exercising intensively again to build up fitness so that I can enjoy soccer to the maximum.Even my DotA skills have taken a beating as well due to my computer which is now officially off DotA because of its impeccable record of lagging out at the wrong time.

Maybe this could be a good omen because I will not use the computer so often, and that means more reason to get down and dirty with some good exercise!! The festive season is about to come and I should better save up some money so that I can do some christmas shopping.I need pants and shorts.I also need money just in case I see something so nice that I just had to buy it.(Impulsive behaviour, but what the heck!!)I already spent a fortune on a new razer mouse only to discover that my computer has had its last dota game for some time.Sigh.Till I get a new computer,I may need to spray fungicide to prevent microorganisms from rotting up my mouse.LOL

Oh yes.Anyone with job lobangs please inform me.Even if you are my uncle! LOL The cousins would greatly appreciate your kind effort! :D I have been feeling very generous lately,I shall continue to feel that way because it makes me feel good when I am able to afford to share my joy with friends.HAHA.

I don't usually do this, but this time I shall end off with a joke.Yo mama is so fat, that when she walked past the TV, I MISSED 3 EPISODES!!! Haw Haw Haw!!!!! Ok, hope it was funny.If its not, complain to the Ministry of Clowns. :D

Exams are out. Holidays are in. Muggers can shout, LETS START PLAYIN!!!

2006-11-25T01:43:00.000+08:00

WOWWOWWEEWOW!!! (Borat style) Exams are finally over and out.It's now time to spend this short(relatively) span of holiday of a few months to the fullest.We as students bound for University will never get to enjoy such a long(objectively) holiday for the rest of our lives(Unless we can become towkay and shake leg all day long).As a result, I have planned to do certain things.Some things will be written in this blog while some things won't.

Who in his/her right mind would still be doing TYS now.Raise your hand so that my team of clowns can cure you of this curse.I have been neglecting soccer for 2 years.Now is the time to play till my heart's, leg's, hand's, butt's(cause it joins in the play sometimes too) content.DotA suddenly seems to be going even smoother for me.Less hiccups here and there despite still playing with a hamster-powered computer which STILL HAS the license to lag.ARGH!Additionally, in an ironic bit of holidaying, I may actually spend more dough on LANNING instead of playing at home, so I need to work to feed my expenditure.HAHA! This brings me to my next point.

2.Work
Supposed to do some random jobs in the month of December and November.Come January and I will probably be a tuition teacher for as many students I can find.More students = more luck.Anyone who doesn't mind my company can msg me along to a job interview.I will gladly come if I am free :D

3.Draw
AAHH, this may be the only time I can learn how to draw.It has been one of my dreams to be able to draw manga and again...Now is the time to realise my dream.If no one replys to my call for an artist friend, I will just have to teach myself then.

4.Relearn
Piano.Nothing much to say here.Just want to get it done and over with.

5.Train
Even if I wasn't chosen to be one of the special forces,that is no reason for me to slacken.If Yan can cook, so can you! I will start to train everything trainable.How cool is that?!

6.Social life
Contrary to what I thought,I may not be going clubbing that often.The drinks served there are expensive and not good for the system too.A bit too much alcohol = more dead brain cells = BU HAO! Even mentos + coke is a healthier choice...though not much healthier.

Now that these 6 commandments are engraved in stone,or rather blog,THOU SHALT TRY HARD NOT TO BREAK THY .... COMMANDMENTS!!!! Good luck have fun people. Drop me a message on my tagboard if you are free.It is currently being spammed only by a certain individual. Take care! Cinqui! (Borat style)

Some study

2006-10-16T00:03:00.000+08:00

Hope you guys reading this realised I changed my blogskin. Its much more colourful now, unlike the dull and monotonous one that I have been using for the past few months. Best of all, it suits me perfectly. (I think all those out there who know me should understand.) All in all, kudos to the one who came up with this blogskin in the first place. Yeah...some many thousand kudos to you dude.

Today, I went out to study with Some one big donkey and DH. Haha. What a joke. JJ is ever so irritating. (Nothing much changed there) FOREVER TRYING his best to trip DH and I. But to NO AVAIL. Donkey, if you're reading this, I hope you gai guo zi xin. Its never too late to repent. Anyway, I managed to complete somewhat a bio paper 2 today. (With the help of the answer scheme.) I also completed the full 2003 A level paper 1 for math. I managed to squeeze in a game of DotA at Raiders while DH and JJ were studying at AMK lib. Haha. Finally, I managed to complete a chem mcq. Haha. Off to DotA now.

Fisherman's friend

2006-10-07T22:44:00.000+08:00

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Its these little things that indicate to you who a true friend is. Of course, these people are hard to come by and one should treasure these gems of life. Enough said here. Now back about my boooorrrring life.

Who's GP is godlike. Any godlike GPers wanna share their secret? I don't mind learning from you peeps yer know.

Anyway, there is less than a month left to A levels. Am I prepared? I guess not. I really got to work harder and study more. Study longer can also help. However, I have been feeling a sense of extreme tiredness overwhelming me at the end of the day. As long as I am at home, sitting down for more than an hour, I will begin to feel drowsy and doze off before I can say 'Hypnosis'.
Should I drink coffee for the sake of studying and risk inundating my body with caffeine, or should I just continue to study till my brain swtiches off and my eye lids grow heavy. I got to decide fast!!! AAAHHH!!!!!

I wanna do well for A levels. If I don't, I will let down too many people. Its all up to my will and determination now. -Yangz will pull through, Yangz knows it, Yangz has the ability to succeed, Yangz is so LLLS...but Yangz likes it. JIA YOU!-

I hate spyware

2006-10-01T22:41:00.000+08:00

September has just ended and I still dota. HHmm...However, I have been studying and that should offer some reason to continue with me playing once in a while. All work and no play makes yangz a dull boy. YEAH! So dota is still good for my health if I play in moderation. (In fact, most things are good in moderation.)

As the number of days to the 'A' level GP paper gets fewer, I should begin to blog more in more accurate english with correct punctuation to help improve my sentence structure. LONG SENTENCES KILL, YES THEY DO!!! Unless I have excellent english, I should never try to lengthen my sentences beyond three lines. (But I still do...). But I will correct it! Life is getting more stressful as the 'A' levels draw near. Should I stick to my regimen of studying alone like what I did in secondary school? Or should I group study more? I am sure both methods of studying has its pros and cons. Too bad I still need the help and consultation of my various subject tutors as all my subjects need brushing up. I feel, that until I can fully grasp the concept of every chapter in every subject, can I be qualified to help my peers if they happen to ask for my help. (Ooopss, is this sentence too long? Haha.) Otherwise, I am afraid that I would accidentally tell them the wrong concept which I myself might also fall trap to.

One more thing...I HATE SPYWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blogders out there who happen to be reading this post, please drop a comment to tell me how to get rid of this phantom menace once and for all. Why do I hate spyware? HHmm, lets see. Firstly, it slows down your computer from a mighty machine chugging away at 533MHz or 2++ GHz to a fictitious pentium half processor that runs on kinetic energy supplied by an overweight hamster running rounds on those cute little hamster exercise machines. BAH!

Secondly, spyware gives you stuff you don't want. If I said I don't want te gua, why you still give me te gua?! If I said I don't want those parsley on my lormee, why you still put parsley on my lormee?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thirdly, spyware is an insidious thing that easily gets into your computer while being a pain in the backside to root out, wasting much of your time to run scans and download anti-spyware programmes. What's so fun about making a spyware? Wow!!! Infecting other peoples' computer with stuff they don't want is so FUN!!!!!! I WANNA TRY TOO!!!! Wait till you infect your own computer,it go KABOOM then fun. Why can't this people with so much free time do something else like enjoy the secenery before global warming fries up everything outside their window, or interact with those less well-off people in their community and be a hero by touching these peoples' lives. YEAH!

Its not too late to repent guys. In fact, its never too late. (Yellow Ribbon Project) If you ain't a Singaporean, I hope that your country has something like it. Cheers!

Wake up my idea!!!...when september ends

2006-09-22T02:25:00.000+08:00

Its already September, and I am still dotaing ever so intensively. There were more than one day when I stayed up till 3 or 4 just to play. Other times that I stay up late is to watch youtube. This has got to stop, lest I wanna be a road sweeper for the rest of my life. Sometimes, its tough to break a habit though you never admit that it is already sort of hardened in yourself. Its this self-denial that usually makes the habit even harder to kick. In other words, I need to find people to mug with me. This won't be easy though, most people in JC study alone at home. Gone are the days where one can get a friend out of bed early in the morning and tell him to rush down to the library to mug with oneself. This is so sad. Makes me wanna cry. A levels are drawing near and crappy is still and understatement to describe my results.

How do I overcome this problem. Study out more? probably I should. Perhaps in school will help. In that case, I will be away from the distractions at home. Yeah. studying close to the staff room is another bonus, the advice of the teachers can be sought for in dire times of need. Here comes my next problem, should I study alone? or should I continue studying with a friend. HHMM. If I cannot even help myself, who can help me. If I do not practise stats myself, who will save me. This world has no superheroes, or at least not yet, to save insignificant people like me. Hence, I have to fend for myself in order to do better than achieve a mediocre grade.

Speaking of superheroes. I like spiderman. He is the most realistic superhero that I know of. Just an ordinary person. Anyone of us could be like him!!!. We just got to be bitten by a radioactive spider!!! HAHAHA!!! To be Superman, you got to be some photosynthetic alien. To be Batman, you got to be freaking rich and smart and resourceful. To be robin, you need Batman!!! Great power comes with great responsibility. Which is why most people do not wish to have too much power. The responsibility that you are burdened with and the expectations of others are simply too heavy to carry. This may be exactly why some superheroes become supervillians. However, so many superheroes have weaknesses of their own. Superman becomes weaker than a normal man when exposed to Kryptonite. Batman has a dark past that sometimes results in him making life-threatening mistakes. HA! Superheroes should not have weaknesses I believe. It reduces them to mere heroes.

http://basshunter.m0o.eu/dota/index_en.php <== this is really cool. DotA fans or anyone interested in DotA, go have a look. But if you have a laggy computer, let it load first!!! Don't spoil the fun. HAHA!!! Beat that XUATZ!

-Better start studying-

YEAH!

2006-09-21T06:01:00.000+08:00

Finally, the dreaded prelims are over. However, now I only have around one month left for mugging, and the worst part is that I am hardly into the mood yet. Like what my cousin said, my dotaing is inversely proportional to the number of days left to 'A' levels, which is bad. Haha. This has got to stop. Who can help me here. Words of advice will not help me. I need people to mug with me and keep me mugging. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! somebody save me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pushing my limits, overclocking my processor

2006-08-07T23:41:00.000+08:00

I wonder if I can go without sleep for just a day after drinking a bottle of Brands esssence of chicken. Feels quite possible, but my feeling isn't usually correct. Who knows, I may just doze off after 1am like what happens to me all the time. However, this time I got to work hard and endure. Tomorrow is like a holiday. Though I cannot afford to go to school late, I feel that tonight is a good night to pia like mad. Off now!

-Study like a dog for a few months, play like a BIG DOG for a few years. (in the army)-

FINALLY!!!

2006-07-13T21:07:00.000+08:00

FINALLY, after years of hardwork, toil and labour. We have finally achieved our place in the finals(with some good luck on our side!!) I am just so happy I just cannot express my joy in words. HAHAHA!!! My first time in Finals after spending almost 9 years in track 'n' field. Got to really show the entire stadium what AJC track 'n' field is made out of!!

Self training tmr. Last few times I will be training in this year le. HAHA. Signing off now!

-SWIFT AND STRONG WE ARE!!!-

Mid-years ALL DIE!!!

2006-06-29T09:48:00.000+08:00

One for the mid-years and the free rides
It's two for the lie that you denied
All die, all die
Three for the number of times spent studying
It's four for the number of subs I'm taking
All die (I'm gonna tell it to your face)
All die (I rest my case)

Feeling just a lil' bit...BLUE

Focus is important

2006-06-21T19:26:00.000+08:00

With just a few days left before the mid-year exams begin, I suddenly feel that what I lack is focus. Focus can help me in so many ways. Distractions are everywhere, they can be in the most blatant or subtle forms. From the computer to lunching outside. These are all distractions. I know it isn't easy to simply cancel out these distractions with the snap of a finger..or rather a finger and a thumb...but I have got to do it soon. With the 'A's looming and growing ever more imminent, my time is running short and the worst part is -- restarting is not an option.

With all these distractions, a goal is the thing that can save me. I need to reinvent my goals both short term and long term. Make them more achievable and practical. Yes, that is what I am gonna do. Study is number one. Track is number two. I need all the help I can get. HAHA. Any kind soul willing to share this goal with me?

-I am one of the swift and strong- HAHA!

The vanishing holidays

2006-06-04T18:54:00.000+08:00

Whoa~ time really flies when you are having fun. Tomorrow will be the second week of June le and I have done almost nothing about my studies. Training still seems super slack and I am worried that I cannot improve enough. Its also time to really form a hardcore study group that can pia from dawn to dusk...Literally. The holiday mood is starting to take control and sometimes, even under the baking hot sun, I feel that I am slacking at Sentosa. HAHAHA...Don't know why I have this weird feeling but well...That's how I feel. Staying at home all the while is also taking a toll on my metabolism. I feel lethargic when I stay at home and I just feel like sleeping every now and then. JC life has made me more of an outdoor person -- I can no longer stand it if I just rot around like a pudge, doing nothing at home.

HAHAHA, can't wait for track camp! Though it will not be a stay-over camp. I still relish the thought of having a nice and cosy training camp so that we, the runners, can all 'DIE' together as ONE BIG AJ TRACK AND FIELD FAMILY!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha, I sound like goblin techies..... The holidays have also made me ever closer to dota (Once again..haha) This explains why I have been using the previous terminology for my descriptions. HA! Week 3 of June and onwards will be a killer for me. Better start saving up for stuff. Birthday presents don't come cheap. If they were cheap, they wun be considered birthday presents. The training camp may also cause me to sacrifice some of my study time and thus I've got to study as much as I possibly can before the camp commences.

Studies is most important. (S)tudy (H)ard (A)nd (P)lay (E)nough !!! ROCK ON!!

AJ BOLEH!!! I BOLEH!!!

2006-05-19T23:23:00.000+08:00

This week was again a long week. Though the school events like cheerleading are already over for quite some time, the week was still long drawn. I practically had to go home late every day.

Monday was training...of course, the earliest I can reach home is 830 which is rather rare unless the buses and MRT are on my side.

Tuesday was a surprise. I had to inspect and sort of talk about the new design of the track training t-shirt. That took quite a while and I was totally worn-out from thinking after that that even my body felt fatigued.

Wednesday was the volleyball match. HAHA, this needs some elaboration. Junda, AJ's all time favourite volleyballer was farming and denying like a GOD during the first round. AJ whooped TJ 25-11 during the first round, sending the message clear that if TJ were to continue with the lousy defence, they are not going to lose very gallantly. TJ apparently got the message and won AJ 25-22 and 25-16 in the second and third round respectively. Thank goodness Junda got his momentum back at the end of the third round. The supporters (me included ) were cheering our lungs, heart, throat, voicebox and lunch out. If the AJ volleyballers don't win...we will feel so sad we wanna cry...But thank goodness again, the whole team came back to win the fourth set and eventually defeated TJ with a score of 15-11 at the fifth set. Behold, the might and power of AJC volleyballers. Training was cancalled, for obvious reasons -- the match ended at 630.

Thursday was self-training day. Loy and I did some gym work before proceeding to do our hurdles. Initially, I had to get the feel of hurdling back and it wasn't easy. However, that session of training did pay off. Instead of shuffling, the effect of lengthening my strides before tackling the hurdle seems to enable me to glide of the hurdle easily. HAHA, well hopefully I can do that again during the next training session.

Friday was official training and today, I know the effect of not doing 200m reps for just a few sessions. I had trouble lasting throughout only 6 reps, which felt rather bad. Time to catch up! The basketball match today was played against HCI. AJ is a strong team. However, we have three injured players. This may have made winning the tournament much harder as the opponent is also very strong. But AJ fought hard and strong, and I am equally proud of AJ basketball as I am of AJ volleyball as well as AJ track and field.

Its finally the weekend but I still have college day to attend tomorrow. How am I going to find time for my homework?!?!?!?

IF AJ BOLEH ==> I BOLEH
OOOOOOoOo^OOOOOAJ BOLEHHHHHHHH AJ BOLEHHHHHH...ALL THE REST CAN GO FLY KITE!!! (-__-)\/

Time to start afresh

2006-04-30T11:36:00.000+08:00

The past week has really been one of the most impactful learning journeys I have ever undertaken. The sheer strength and intensity that Puma House cheerleading team trained with was totally awe-invoking. We never gave up and no one complained even when we literally trained till the cows came home on every day of the past and previous week. Last Thursday was D-day and I believe everyone did their best. Frankly, I really enjoyed the performaces by all the cheerleaders because we know how hard they trained, not mentioning the things they had to sacrifice in order to achieve what they got. 3 cheers and many thousand kudos to all those who took part in the cheerleading competition!!! Always remember!! Non Mihi Solum!! We are a team no matter what happens

After the eventful day of cheering and screaming and running on thursday, the cheerleaders and I finally retired to the MPH to do some saikang as there was glitter all over the floor. After cleaning up, we went to elevate our house mistress. HAHA, really funny, cannot wait to see the pictures. No one else was on the track except Puma cheerleaders. The pe teachers were on the grand stand, trying to cho cho us to toss our house mistress who was adamant about us just elevating her. HAHA. After that, most of us went to pizza hut at AMK to have dinner and just talk rubbish and spend the night rubbishing about one another. As usual, I reached home late again that night.

Friday night was AJ idol night and after AJ idol, Peng, Alvin, Ly, Liting, ming J and I went to KFC to makan. Again, we talked and talked about all the crap we can think of. Looks like Ly will be leaving AJ for good during July, we wish her the best of luck and hope that she will enjoy her stay and learning journey at Mapleland.

No more hectic school activities for me. I am totally behind time in all areas of my work and it is definitely time to catch up.Now, I pledge my loyalty to nothing but homework. Anyone want to study with me after school from tuesday onwards?

Now is also the time to catch up with training. I can feel that I too have A LOT to catch up as I am now doing a new event. 400M HURDLES!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!, finally....I can now learn to hurdle...its so fun and I hope I can excel in it.Alright enough nonsense from my part. Better spend my Sunday and Labour day properly. By the way, I hope PAP wins the election. -_-\/

-I pledge my loyalty....to homework and training- Oink

OWNED!

2006-04-23T00:00:00.000+08:00

Sorry for the long absence. Due to all the track and field competitions, tests and cheerleading competition coming up, I have been so busy I barely reach home before 10. On a sad note, due to these obstacles, I have been failing every single maths test since the test on probability to the test on approximation of binomial to poisson distribution; a total of 6 tests. Furthermore, I most probably just failed 2 consecutive maths test in 2 hours. Mega KillED!!! DOUBLE KILLED!!!! OWNAGED!!!!

sian...I miss dota...haven't played it for ages. This year has really been a test of my perseverance, wit, resourcefulness, teamwork, team spirit, co-operation, blah blah..the list goes on. Inter-house drama proved that by persevering, one can overcome odds that seem to be ...well...daunting and impossible to overcome. Cheerleading this year seems to be an even more daunting task than drama. Extremely competitive and loads of training. However, the other houses seem to have even more training sessions than we do and they train at an even higher intensity. How can we lose to them! Fight we must, with the spirit of PUMA house!

Better not waste the sunday. Time for bed. Oink!

-When the going gets tough, the tough say:'' NO KICK!!"-

1 more chance

2006-03-19T12:22:00.001+08:00

Looks like x cty just isn't my cup of tea. After training for 3 unfruitful years, I am still getting owned by my cousin who happens to be 3 years younger than me. Oh well, I guess I better get my butt off x cty for this year and focus more on 4 X 400. At least that event can assure me of a higher spot in the nationals, contrary to x cty nationals. Holidays are almost over and I just found out that I cannot find my chem tuts. Not that I finished my bio hwk already. Bio hwk is given in mountains, contrary to other subjects. Gosh, my holidays were spent training and doing hwk with minimal amount of play. Totally did not feel like a holiday except for the fact that I wake up late on tuesdays, thursdays and weekends.

DotA is still a part of my life. No matter what happens, even if I don't play it that often, I will still be talking about it and discussing strats with my cousins and friends. Now, priority is to do up my hwk and keep fit. Going to go swimming afterwards and going to proceed with some hwk after that. Special Discrete random variables!!! HERE I COME!!!

What a day!

2006-03-10T22:50:00.000+08:00

Did lots of stuff today. My day began with the worst pangsai experience in more than 3 months. I have totally stayed off KFC for more than 3 months and immediately after that unforgettable dinner last night at AMK KFC, the following morning was a man-made disaster in the lavatory . Almost was late for school because of spending too much time forcing to no avail.

Chem lecture today was cancelled!!! YEAH!!! We love slack teachers. Slack but good teachers yeah? No chem lecture = 3 period break for me.HOORAY!! However, I spent half of the breaks attempting to study for the chem and maths test later in the reading room. Chem test was an open book test. Maths test was a flop. Get owned by discrete random variables. Speaking of getting owned, my wallet got owned today as well. After the 4 canadian pizzas I ordered, my wallet felt $41.80 lighter...1 pizza went to Fiz, 1 went to Darren, 1 to SH and 1 went to Ern and I. To make matters worst, my DotA skills have also taken a beating. From someone who wasn't that bad, I have dropped to beyond nooblike level. Dominated!!! Mega-KILLED, MMMMMONSTER KILLED!!! OWNAGED!!! feed like I have never fed before in my entire life. OH MY TIAN!!! When did I get so lousy!

Totally got owned today. However, I did managed to enjoy myself today. I felt that bonding day was quite a success though AJCSC never fails to add in the -__-" factor into their skit. Nevertheless, I did manage to talk to quite a few JC1s. Hopefully some of them join track too. HAHA!! Was really hyper today too. Go around kope other people food and eat and 'qing' them to eat their own food...LOL. The games my class played with the OG a bit the flop, but it did help to keep some of them entertained (I left the class to roam the school for food liao). Holidays have officially started and truthfully, from the bottom of my hear, I believe my holidays are totally finished. Homework filling up every crack and crevice in my holiday(not like it had a lot of cracks and crevices to start with). Training, house stuff and the most dreaded hwk!!! Oh my tian!!! This holiday is worst than no holiday. I DO NEED a break though...Got holiday at least better than nothing. HAIZ..Should go to sleep early. Tomorrow morning need to go see doctor, don't know got what illness, whole body covered in redspots...stupid TYS...WHAT A DAY AH~ WHAT A DAY!!!

When the going gets tough...

2006-03-02T23:55:00.000+08:00

Like the saying goes...when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. The month of February has been really tough for me. DotA comp and drama. Come sports day and cheerobics...Looks like my march holidays literally be spent planning for cheer-leading, some house comp work and the most dreaded homework...Its time to get tough and get going. To do that, I will have to cut down on time spent on msn, so dear readers and msn buddies who are reading this, don't be surprised if I don't come online as often as I used to.

This year is the year of the PUMA. All shall be under our might during sports day and cheerobic. Panther may have won the battle during x cty, but PUMA will win the war. I can almost smell victory...and it sure smells good...My first time being in house comp will also be my first time making a mark in it, and I will try my very best to ensure my achievements stay in the hearts and minds of my fellow pumarians out there. Lend me your support and I will offer my best as a vice-cap.

Maths is starting to become hard. Hope that Mr Tan comes back as soon as possible. Got loads and loads of qns to ask him. GP is also giving me problems...Who can give me help for GP? I need a B3 for GP in my A levels...so that I won't have to take english anymore. Even chem is giving me a headache. Spent way too much time on the MCQ. Should have done the structured qns first before attempting the MCQ qns. Dang...But most important is still GP!!! Any kind soul willing to offer a guiding hand to aid this poor clown in the direction towards excellence in General Paper?

I'm going to be so so so busy...Study will be on my mind everyday. No more msn, no more dota. Just school work, house comp work, training, self-training and some blogging just to relieve stress. =) GTG back do work...ADD OIL!!!

PUMA OWNAGE!!!

2006-02-25T19:32:00.001+08:00

To all those PUMARIANS who are reading this, I REALLY appreciate your support and faith in us! To the non-pumarians...eh...just read on la.

After 1 week of toiling and labour from 18th to the 25th. Its finally over. Inter-house drama is finally over and PUMA house has clinched the top prize as well as the best actor and MOST POPULAR HOUSE. HAHA. Having said this, I can really feel that we have improved so much from when we first met. 18th of feb was unforgettable. Drama practice was from 730 to 5...And I missed the once in a year ACJC funfair...I really hope I didn't let my sec sch friends down...Hope they understand that I have a hectic schedule. HAHA Monday had training and dota practise and I still went for rehearsal...I think. Tuesday was quite a killer, practise until very late. Furthermore, we were constantly being bombarded by words that really demoralised us. Some people said that we were the lousiest house...with the smallest number of people taking part, so much so that the JC2s had to step in and fill up the gaps. Wednesday tech run was a nightmare...or rather a afternoonmare. If we just had our tech run earlier Jang, Wongci and I could have gone to turf city for training. Damn wasted, and I remember I was feeling damn pissed on that day. Farah was visibly disapppointed...I need not comment so much. Did some training to relieve myself, if not I will definitely explode. Pia in the gym till quite late. Coincidentally, I met kang seng at yck mrt when i was waiting for the train. HAHA, at least he knows I trained, cuz i was wearing my training vest. Thursday full dress rehearsal a bit the not full dress. Wongci had bridge and I got dota comp. !st round lub 31 : 15 we win. 2nd round tio lub 31 : 8...sian ji pua. But we did our best. I dun think anyone was disappointed la. Like what junjie said, 1st round shld be not much problem, 2nd round ah......shld be not much hope...EH!!!! HAHA...especially with a noob KOTL on my team...how to win. ( I am the noob KOTL...EH!!!!!!!!!!!) After dota comp, immediately went for drama full-dress rehearsal. Everyone was in quite high spirits, maybe its cuz the inter-house comp is just the next day. Wongci was more down on that day. Tried my best to talk to him to cheer him up. Many set-backs were faced before friday like unintentionally being racist. I dunno if we were indeed being racist. Deadlines had to be met and some people were having trouble with teachers and some ...even having trouble staying in AJC...Nevertheless, on the day itself. Everyone WAS feeling excited and hyped up. Pep talk before the competition was super good. Managed to calm my nerves a little. The King pulled off an awesome performance and so did the Queen. HAHA I hoped I pulled off a great one too. The vizier was very steady and really got into her role well. Though the physician had few lines, he could really get the crowd to feel nervous while anticipating the next line. What I did was the opposite....Pausing at times and speaking slowly like I always do. The madman and maid also played an integral part. Adding spice and sugar into the play. WHAT a week. Dota and DRAMA.....Managed to mix them though...HAHA

-GOTTA TRAIN HARD FOR X CTY- AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEMORALISED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-02-19T00:44:00.000+08:00

One blow after another...one by one...How much can one take?!?!?!

First, drama from 740 to 5 pm...Wasn't that fun though...too few people and a crappy play which doesn't seem to be like what it should.

Next, missed the acjc funorama. Dang!!! A once in a year opportunity to watch people sell food at absolutely, ridiculously incredibly high prices was missed!!! DANG!!!!! On the flip side, a once in a year opportunity to watch people BUY food at absolutely, ridiculously, incredibly high prices was ALSO MISSED!!!! *____*

Training starting to get more hiong. But its still quite slack. Somehow or rather, I seem to feel quite energetic even after training...which is not supposed to happen. Doing push-ups are feeling easier...compared to a few months back. Even standing broad jump feels easier too...though its still a struggle before I can get A. Hhmm, if all goes well, hopefully this year NAPFA can get full marks. (NAPFA test is the easiest test to get full marks...not maths) LOLX.

Anyway, this year, I got to evise some goals. I cannot be aiming for 930 for 2.4. Its ridiculously slow. 8.30 sounds more reasonable, though it still sounds slow. Hopefully can achieve this target by NAPFA this year. X-cty also need to at least get top 5. Or else, super xia suay. Got to give it my best, or might as well don't give it anything at all. Spent a bomb on birthday presents this week. This = no savings for this week le. Haiz...feels so weird and uneasy when I lack cash. Hate this feeling...

CNY coming!!! YEAH!!! HWK A LOT!!! BOO!!!
I don't mind trading all my hongbao money for no hwk during the WHOLE of CNY week. HEHE. Definitely worth it!!! That time without hwk can be spent doing more useful things like catching up with sleep as well as playing. These few days only sleep 6 hours...almost getting used to it le.

Haiz, just found out my DotA skills dropped le. I can no longer make those critical split second decisions that could save my hero. Dang...motor neurone skills slackening too fast. On the other hand, I feel less inclined to play Dota these few weeks. I guess the effect of computer games on me is wearing out fast. (Not that I was really affected by it in the first place.) Dunno why these few days damn lazy. Classmate ask me beoh I also lazy to see. LOLX. Do I dislike wearing specs so much that I won't even want to wear it for the sake of some eye candy? Maybe...This could be good, helps me to ward off distractions. HAHA. In that case, one can say that laziness does have its advantages. For example, 'I am so lazy I can't be bothered to wear my specs to beoh' or 'I am so lazy I can't be bothered to find a girl to jio' or my fav one!!! ' I am SSSSOOOO lazy I can't be bothered to slack....' AAww, poor thing...missing out on the basic fundamental skills to enjoy life to the fullest.

May laziness bring me to greater heights!!!

Speaking of laziness, some funny fool stole my pillow!!! Or maybe, some bhasterrd threw my pillow away!!! I miss my pillow... BOO!!! Nothing to hug now...so sad. I want hug my smelly pillow!!!

Before I go, I hope that AJ track and field can have more JC1s. We really need more people who are passionate about Track & Field. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, or a total noob to track, what matters is the heart and passion that drives you through this tough sport. Training is tough and competitions are tougher, but what is life if there is nothing to train for and no competition to push you to the apex of your mental, physical and emotional strength? Hope to see more people appearing for training after this post. HAHA

Some BIG Goals deserve Some BIG team!!!

so sad

2006-01-21T23:16:00.000+08:00

Went for the sexuality education talk today. First part actually quite fun. Rather interesting the male speaker. The way he tell jokes very interesting. The female speaker machiam joke machine gun. Spam jokes like spam IP at channel lancraft. Somemore her jokes damn funny...keep on chio kah peng.

1st video still ok...dun mind watching again.

2nd video....2nd video...hhmm...1st video they censor the nice parts...why the 2nd video they dun censor the 'nice' parts also...2nd video ah...

In the midst of the abortion video...1 thought was going through my mind. 'Please let this video end as soon as possible.' Those pictures were really graphic and I know I have a very very weak stomach. If I had not passed out, I would have 'merlioned' all over those unfortunate peeps sitting in front of me. When I couldn't take it anymore, I just sat and slept. When I woke up, I felt cold and nauseous. Someone was lifting me up from my slouched position to an upright position...but at that time I was too weak to turn and see who it was. I could hear people around me talking and I could feel their eyes on me...but still, I was feeling too uncomfortable to care. My stomach was already groaning and i could almost feel my breakfast and the chicken-flavoured mamee noodles taking attendance at my oesophagus (gullet or better known as the throat pipe). The male speaker was talking in the background, as usual, he was talking in his interesting way. When the reality of the situation kicked in, I found out that I had fainted for some time. The feeling was so very unreal, that it seemed scary. This is the first time something like that has happened to me. I hope this doesn't happen again when a bombshell walks past...or it will be so so sad for me and actually flattering...for her!!! HEHE...

Jh birthday today. Went to celebrate at lan shop. LOL, this year I have already celebrated 3 people's birthday in a lanshop. Rz and Xy's one in e-games and Jh's one in some crappy lanshop called speedy which is just beside e-games. HAHA...i guess this is JC life...lanshop become our hangout. HAHA. Oh well, wasted one whole day without training and study. I had better start doing my homework and do some self-training tomorrow, or else I am going to faint again (in the midst of being blasted by teacher). HAHA!! signing out.

-Study Hard And Play Enough!!! ^_^-

plans for the weekend

2006-01-20T00:15:00.000+08:00

Life is getting into control. Most holiday homework either settled or don't need to pass up. Now even have time to study for tests. Last year no such thing as studying, except for a few days before exam. However, I feel like I sacrificed some portions of my life. Less dinner outings with the track team as well as less dota games during the night. Hopefully these sacrifices can help me attain the results I have in mind for my 'A's. Tomorrow got to have dinner with the track team. Only eat dinner with them once a week now.

AJ track and field needs:

1. MORE JC1S TO JOIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. MORE EXPERIENCED TRACKERS AND FIELDERS!!!!!!!!!
3. MORE CRAZY PEOPLE TO MAKE THE WHOLE TEAM HIGH AND FULL OF ENERGY

in short...we need more experienced and fun-loving people to join and drag their friends to join.

So, the JC2s got to be a good example of the above. I'm gonna try my best...hehe

I want my 2.4 time to drop below 9mins and my SBJ to reach 255m...WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My saturday seems pretty empty...nothing much to do. Maybe have some self-training. Running at turf city anyone? I sort of miss that place after not running there for more than 2 weeks. Maybe should go lanning too. Getting a little bored of staying at home and doing nothing. Teacher ban me from playing sports for fear of me getting injured...cannot even take part in vertical marathon...YEEEEE.

Sunday also sian sian...nothing to do but stay at home and slack...Maybe I should do more self-training on sunday as well...WAH..life like so sian...I want to DOTA!!!!!

oh well...at least later today at around 7pm got movie screening...yeah!!! Watching with the trackers and fielders. So much to do...so little time...but I got to make the most of it. -training in progress-

xiong training

2006-01-12T23:26:00.000+08:00

Yesterday's attendance was one of the most amazing things I have seen since the starting of the year. All the runners came, though not all trained. However, many of the guys turned up and trained. HAHA. Despite my cough, I continued my training. Thoughts of giving up flashed through my mind even before I started the xiong workout. 3 sets of 10 reps of 200m at 48secs. 5 mins break in-between sets. Though the workout was considered xiong and we managed to finish it, the greatest part is definitely the process. The feeling of running as a team under the prickling of the needle-like rain drops and the chill of the cold wind was really indescribably exhilarating. Funny though, the moment i start running, my cough seemed to stop. Once I stop, it comes again. Dots. Hope the cough will go away soon, I am sick and tired of coughing. From this training, I can really feel the team spirit echoing thoughout the whole race, reverberating from every one of the runners. This is the ideal training...since I have had for a long time. I expect the new JC 1s to be no less than that. -Time will tell-

Holidays ending soon...

2006-01-01T18:03:00.000+08:00

Time sure flies. A moment ago the holidays just started, a moment later, you are in school being scolded for not doing your homework. Time sure flies. So much to do, so little time. Those who actually complete their holiday homework are really people that can really manage their time very well. Should learn from them some day. But who actually does really learn time management anyway, you just got to learn it yourself, either the hard way or soft way.

What should I bring on the first day of school? I am thinking my pencil box. some foolscap paper and a small pillow to hide in my bag. LOLX. Changed principal from Mr Tan to Miss Leong. So first day sure got speech to introduce herself. Speech = sleep. Sleep = pillow. YEAH! Another headache is my schedule. I better start following a fixed schedule or else there will be none for me to follow in the future...Better start completing homework in school so that I have time for revision when I get home. Track lunch will still be on Wednesdays and track dinners will still be on Fridays. Sorry Jingjie, too many people cannot make it on thursday nights. But we hope you can compromise by coming for just some of our dinners. At least join us sometimes cuz after JC life, how sure are you that you will still continue to have track lunch with us? A team is not a team without its members TOGETHER!!! I wish you understood what I mean. Manage your time well, we will need you to lead us to victory this year!!! Zhenghui, please manage your health and time too. You are a valuable asset to track, probably more valuable than me too, we cannot afford to lose people like you due to minor complications like homework or unfinished essays. Quhan and shao hong, with you guys, track is much closer and glued together. Cannot thank you enough for your drive and passion although you guys are just beginners...just like me. Ernest and hanxiang, although I do not often chat with you guys doesn't mean we don't acknowledge your contributions. Ernest has improved his running so much that it totally shocks me to see how much he has improved. However, please be just a little more enthusiastic when you do things, or else the spirit of funness is dampened. Dehai is the backbone of track. Without him, the whole management and logistics will be in ruins. He is also a valuable
member to us, contributing his knowledge of how to run programs and executing them with precision and standard. HAHA. Female members of track are wonderful people too. Though I feel that I do not have the ability to comment on you all, you girls are still very important and crucial to the whole team too. HAHA. Oh well. time to start on my homework...see you guys soon!!!

A night and morning of fun

2005-12-29T12:09:00.000+08:00

Woah! Yesterday's cousins' outing was a bang! In the morning, I had to do the track board with the other trackers. Did a little bit of homework and helped in some portions of the board making. After that, my friends, Shao Hong, Quhan, Zhenghui, Ernest and Junhan went to dhoby ghaut to meet up with my cousins for friendly matches of DotA: ALLSTARS

Well. Now I know why I have been losing so badly whenever I play at home. This laptop's processing speed really runs on pentium 1/2 processor. Lousy hamster-powered computer gets tired easily and I always experience the Alt-Tab problem whenever there is a fierce battle going on. HAHA...Another thing was, if lirui had come, it would have been more fair. Then all the matches would have been 5 vs 5. Oh well...maybe we can have another of this matches some time in the future. However, I can safely say I was easily the lousiest player on my cousins' team. Only my first game as a skeleton king was decent. After all, King Leoric is still one of my favourite heroes. The other games were rubbish. I did nothing but farm while my cousins had to hold off a horde of attacks. HAHA, luckily they managed to survive most of the time.

After the lanning, I bid my friends farewell after a night of crazy lanning. I then proceeded to LJS with my cousins where we indulged in more never-thought-before DotA tactics. Haha, we talked more hours until LJS had to close. After that, we walked and talked at the dhoby ghaut MRT station till 1130 until xuatz had to go home. We talked about everything, our future, relationship stuff, xuatz's business stuff and of course...more never-before-thought of DotA strategies. (we can go on for hours just by talking about DotA )

After xuatz left, xy, rz and I left for the 24hours kopitiam to get some fillings. I had some prata just to fill my empty stomach as I did not have dinner. After supper, we proceeded to evene more lanning!!! We started again at he same lan shop at around 1210 and finished a few games by 2 plus. As usual, xy's zeus cleared the whole enemy team AGAIN...3 times in total, though his kills were not at all high ( about 18 kills and 0 deaths is low considering his prowess ) In fact, in the past few hours we have been playing, we did not lose a single match. When the clock struck 12. xuatz smsed me to wish both xy and rz a happy birthday. In actuality, xy's birthday was celebrated by one DotA lanning while rz's birthday was celebrated by another. HAHA. After we left the lan shop, we walked from e-games, all the way to takashimaya. We talked and walked and talked even more. Until all of us were nearly gonna fall asleep. Our night activity continued to 530 without sleep where I finally bid them farewell at City Hall MRT station. Our night of walking and talking really made us think of our futures and allowed us to know each other so much better. And of course, know even more DotA playing methods. xy knows how to use worldeditor , so he knows the exact mechanics of how the map works...which thus contributes to us, a valuable pool of ownage information.

Reached home at 630am. I was feeling dead tired after walking but after I reached home, everything was back to normal. I even felt like I did not need to sleep. In fact, I woke at 10. which means I only sleep less than 4 hours. Oh well...haha...the midnight games do help to lenghthen the night life of my brain. HAHA

Since I have already made a decision to stop playing DotA at home next year. Here is a tribute to Guinsoo, the maker of DotA: ALLSTARS , as well as IceFrog, for contributing so much in expanding the map. My life between my cousins and friends would not have been so without this custom map to form a bridge and talking point where we can go on for hours without stopping.

All bones love to sear
all drows like to freeze
night-stalkers always creeping fear
machiam own at night with ease
Bnet always have sniper
followed behind, always keeper
these two heroes hard to kill
kill liao also got no thrill
magnus, slardar, centaur, panda
stun and stun and stun and stun
how come now dun have this combo
must be cuz the noobs can't run
keeper, darchrow, treant, siren
spamming ulti with refresher
damage pain ah damage high
before long, you'll see the sky
long live DotA, its so fun
hours of joy can be matched by none
though I can never be number one
pia my farming, THEN WE CAN OWN EVERYONE!!!

2005-12-13T17:07:00.000+08:00

Today, I did some self-training. I had in mind training tomorrow, thus I did not train very hard today. However, I did push myself to the limits. In 2 hours, I did 2.8km intervals as well as staircase climb intervals. First was the 2.8km warm-up. I took my time warming up, making sure my whole body was loose and not tight which is prone to cramps. Then, I stretched my leg muscles, making sure that they were properly stretched for the hard run I am going to unertake later. After my warm-up, I proceeded to do the staircase climb. I climbed 5 repetitions of 6 storeys, recovering when I reached the 6th storey and when I was coming down to the 1st. That makes 30 storeys in one set. After one set of the staircase climb, I did a 2.8km jog. All in all, I did 3 sets of the staircase climb as well as 3 sets of the 2.8km jog. Including warm-up, I ran a total of 11.2km and 90 storeys. So much for a light workout...haha

Cannot wait for training tomorrow!!!

2005-12-05T21:02:00.000+08:00

Today's training was a big leap from what the AJC trackers have been doing. After some stretching and warm-up. We were told to do 2 sets of 5 X 200m. HAHA. When coach told us that, we were already looking at each other and thinking...can we do it? This was much more different than the usual 6 we would be doing. This time we were doing 10 but there was a 10 minute break between the 1st set and the 2nd. Whew. 1st run of the 1st set was a flop. Instead of doing 31 like what ZH and I were supposed to do, we did 35 instead...and the rest behind was like...haha. However, after that, he and I were doing 31s all the way through the 1st set. Encouragement after every rep was absolutely vital, or else most of us would not have made it through the gruelling 10 reps that almost slaughtered all of us. During the 2nd set, I found that I have found the rhythm of my running speed. Thus I was able to keep up with ZH during all the runs. The slight bouncing in my rhythm also helped a lot in my breathing. I was able to catch my breath during the air time. Running never felt so smooth in a long time. Despite the gruelling run, I felt much better after the run. Like some endorphin rush. Everything needs rhythm. Running, dancing and even saving the world needs rhythm...like what chicken little would say.

MIEYA HI, MIEYAH HUU, MIEYAH HA.....HAHA. You set the pace, we win the race!

2005-12-02T18:32:00.000+08:00

Today's training was a blast. As in, we had to blast and blast to complete today's training. HA. Today's training came just after a full night at East Coast, setting up the pit, cooking food, eating and loads of other fun stuff like meeting up with our ''long lost'' JC2s. HA. Also, I finally managed to piak a person after years of failed attempts. Thanks to those who grabbed him which enabled me to execute some finishing move. HAHA. Anyway, today we did the full boys' route at Turf City. Under the hot sun, arid conditions and just barely 7 hours of sleep, I managed to pull off a 22 plus plus minutes for my 4.5k, which is absolutely atrocious. After a few minutes of rest, we did 4 reptitions of the long straight stretch at Turf City, against the wind and running on soft grass which makes the task extra difficult. However, I did managed to squeeze out an average of 76 seconds per run, though it was quite atrocious as well, haha. Oh well, thats all for training today. Any trackers who are reading this blog, please be informed that next time, reach Turf City at least 15 mins before training begins FOR US, that means REACHING the destination at 0945 as the training starts at 10! This will give us some allowance for the hardcore late-comers who are trying to mend their ways.

X-man

2005-11-14T22:25:00.000+08:00

Just like the X-men, I am going to become a mutant soon at the rate I am doing gym. Now, gym work seems so much more tough and tiring. This is a good thing as this means that there is much room for improvement and gives myself an opportunity to push myself even further. However, this is at the expense of some time and how I may look in the future. HAHA

1st scenario: I do lots of gym work and end up looking like the unincredible hulk. Mad muscles everywhere minus the chorophyll under my skin.

2nd scenario: I continue doing lots of gym work and end up looking like a mutant. Either lower body developed more than upper body or vice versa. YUCKS, disgusting...

3rd scenario: I continue doing gym work but develop a more toned body, minus excessive muscles everywhere. YEAH!!!

To achieve the 3rd scenario, here are the ingredients:

1 tablespoon of hardwork
3 pints of sheered determination
5 cups of perseverance
5 teaspoons of pure luck
7 grams of toil and labour
9 pounds of motivation and drive
and finally lots of nuitritious food and water!!! -professor dumbledore

I don't love the sun, but I love to run

2005-11-08T00:57:00.000+08:00

Oh my Tian, today's training was HOT. Although not hot as in wooo~ hot~ but WOOOOO, SIO AH, JI TAO ZUA hot. yeah. Almost tio sunburn le today. If I had spent a little more time under the sun, I may have gotten fried to crisp. Hate it when I get sunburned and my skin starts peeling off like snake skin. So tong and so irritating.

Today's training was good though. Felt like I improved. Managed to run roughly 2km in around 8mins 54secconds -- although it is still freaking slow. Should be doing it in 8 mins or below. Finally, I can feel that the cross country team is finally developing from an irritant that is simply brushed off by rivals from other JCs into a force to be reckoned with. AJC cross country is going to excel, and I am going to be one of the members who will constantly motivate my friends to push harder and farther to achieve excellence.

~AND THE BASE KEEPS RUNNING, RUNNING....~ AJC CROSS-COUNTRY ROCKS MY WORLD

Some birthday steamboat party!!!

2005-11-04T00:55:00.000+08:00

WOOT!!! Today's or rather yesterday's celebration was a great success. In the morning, I left house early to go to Danver's condo to swim. Then wait for Brian, Kenneth and Zi Jian to come then play magic and watch FF movie, which was breathtaking . Went to coffee shop for lunch where Danver kept complaining about how unhygenic the place is. What the LOL la. Afternoon, mathan came and we started watching movie. HAHA, laugh until peng. Orh yah, anyone who knows the name of the song of the charlton draught beer commercial please leave a comment for me, thanks!!

Steamboat was a BLAST!! One of the best birthdays celebrated since I was born. In fact, I can only distinctly remember 2 birthdays that went on without hiccups along the way, one being the one celebrated by The Gambling Den last year and the other is the one celebrated today. Thanks to
weiyang, dehai, snow, sheila, liying, zhenghui, quhan, shao hong, ernest, darren, jiayi and han xiang, my birthday celebration was a success. Really really thank you guys and girls for coming down to spend time with a clown like me. Special thanks to those who bought the cake and those who planned to debrief me on that day itself ALTHOUGH NO SUCH INCIDENCE TOOK PLACE ...HAHAHAHA. After the steamboat dinner, we went to play a bit of pool. Haha, zhenghui and snow tag team, the 2 buddies. zhenghui keep on psycho snow into thinking that it is very easy. In the end, all of us really enjoyed the pool games...

When we went to the bus stop, we thought we had missed the last train. In the end however, everyone managed to get home safe and sound although Dehai and Snow had to cab. Thank you all for attending my birthday celebration. Ming Nian Zai Lai!!! ROCK ON AJC TRACK AND FIELD!!!

Bubblebeam

2005-10-31T22:28:00.000+08:00

Dear blogders, let me introduce you to one of the gayest heroes ever created in Defense of the Ancients or better known as DOTA. The undieable, unkillable, unbanishable, undead ... Nai'x. Well why do I say that? Thats because this hero has a lifestealing attack, which grants it (notice I used 'it' ) the ability to drain the health of the enemies which it attacks. It's ultimate spell gives it immunity to all spells and it can move fast while slow down the enemies which it attacks. Thus it is GAY.

Now, let me introduce you to another gay hero in DOTA. The evil, cunning, stealthy, night-stalker. Why is it so gay? Well, its name tells you everything. It becomes a very strong hero at night, slowing you down, disabling your ability to cast spells before finishing you off.

Now, let me introduce you to a very powerful pokemon. It is called squirtle. This pokemon has the uncanny ability to shoot bubbles. It has a hard shell which it can retreat into when it faces danger and it has a powerful bubblebeam attack. Its strong attack can easily finish off the strongest of all other pokemons, making it one of the favourite pokemon a new trainer will usually start off with.

Combine all 3 characters and you get a powerful but funny-looking monster which you can find in Track...lol
-PEOPLE THAT ARE SWIFT AND STRONG, ROCK ON!!-

MIRACLE

2005-10-20T18:19:00.000+08:00

Yesterday go home after training still feel quite good. Even dinner until 9 at long john silver's also didn't wear me down. Reach home already still feel quite energetic. Haha, then do PW stuff then do the budget list for the track camp. Hope that it is not bad. At one o clock then chiong maplestory with Zhenghui. managed to level up twice. wasted a few skill points on the power strike...should have maxed up the hp thing first...sian...do wrong again...everytime also do wrong.

Chiong until 250, before going to sleep. Zhenghui damn hiong, chiong until don't know what time. anyway, slept quite well though it was short. only slept 3 hours but today still felt quite good (except during bio lecture and PW). Lucky got no PW lecture, quite heng, because so far got no PW lecture I haven fall asleep yet...Today woke up at 6. Lub down breakfast then go school liao. On the train sleep a while...tututututu...tututututu...Dhoby Ghaut Interchange...tututututu...ZZZzzz...Next stop, Khatib...ZZZ...**** KHATIB?!?! kena sai, Overslept liao, lucky only one stop. Faster chiong out of train call Zhenghui see if he going to train station, maybe can take train to school with him, then can talk about MS a while also. However, when I called him, he is already on his way to YCK mrt station. I thought, seow liao, RF always take last train, if he zao liao = my train is first late train. ****

I see the time -- already 719. Then I did my calculations. Need to wait 4 minutes for the train, plus the 5 minutes travelling time. That leaves me with less than 2 minutes to chiong down from YCK mrt station, to the long walkway, pass the tintei traffic light along the super duper long pavement and into school unnoticed on a thursday. That is a feat that is theoretically impossible because, firstly, someone confirm block you on the way out of train station when you chiong to traffic light. Secondly, Don't know why, but the traffic light damn zun. When u going to kena late, the traffic light will act the guai lan. Just when you chiong to it, the green man turn red man. Machiam look at you, laugh you late, point his small red horse at you...Thanks...Thirdly, even if you were to get past these obstacles, Nelson CONFIRM camp at foyer, waiting for late-comers so that he can collect their EZ-link...How to siam all these difficulties. Once I reached YCK mrt station, Zhenghui waiting for me there. Really didn't expect him to be there, waiting there machiam wait outside school for bell to ring then catwalk into foyer give Nelson free frag. He told me that if my train is really the late train. Even if you Michael Johnson, sprint to school, Michael Jordan, chiong ah ji tao chiong to school, or you Michael Jackson,yi bian rub horse yi bian Moonwalk to school also 100% late. I listen liao I feel damn sian. If let parents see my late record, confirm ask me do weird things to prevent myself from coming late again. Worst to worst, let them play backside...Walk to school, as usual the traffic light stopped us. Then stroll along the pavement like nobody's business, see other people chiong to school. When we finally reached the school gate, Nelson was nowhere to be seen!!! The both of us chiong to canteen without getting caught by the balding man. When we turn back, he just walked out of his office(must have been busy combing his hair,thinking that since today is thursday, he can slack a bit.) HAHA. Damn happy la.

LIKE A DOG
The Heavens must be happy =) WILL TRAIN HARD TMR!!!

S for sian ji pua

2005-10-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

SIAN LA...study so hard for bio but cannot take S paper... chiong 3 days and mugg like a mad clown still cannot. HAIZ, why is my life so unfair man. wah, all my subjects marks all go down. lucky chemistry still can make it because CHEM-IS-TRY mah. TRY HARDER then can make it liao. Hopefully maths can get A or B, if cannot, I think I will feel really saddened. Then chinese OMG, almost fail...expected to get lousy grade, but D7?!?!?!?!?! !@#$@%&#^* really tio owned by chinese test.

ALL I WANNA ACHIEVE IS A PASS IN GP AND AN A FOR MATHS!!!!!

IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR???

Today's training was really fun man. haha Hanxiang and Zhenghui kena debriefed..hopefully can give an award and prize to the most piaked person in AJC track after 1 year to see who is MOST 'POPULAR' or notorious. I got a feeling that I will tie with Zhenghui and Jingjie for high sunshine% lol...better start chionging Jingjie soon...he is missing out too much...cannot let that idiot loser quit track. He quit track he everyday kena sunshine by us for sure. Jingjie, if you are reading this, please follow us for more dinners since exams are all over. must start teh neh volleyball too. hehe ... Till then...AJC TRACK AND FIELD ROCKS MY WORLD!!!

Room For Improvement(S)

2005-10-07T23:16:00.000+08:00

Ha, didn't know I was such a flawed person. Although I know that I am far from perfect, little did I know that I had so many problems left uncorrected. 1, Low EQ; I am a very anti-social person that is totally incapable of making frinds, GREAT! 2. Irresponsibility. I am a very irresponsible person that cannot get things done no matter how hard I try. WONDERFUL! 3. I lack team spirit, meaning I am so selfish that I only care about myself and won't sacrifice a part of me for the better part of the team. OWNING!

Is that me? Why didn't I realise it sooner.

some good points to remember to facilitate collection of track fund.

1. U dowan us to run out of flour on your birthday do u?
2. Come on, where do u think we get the money to buy the undergarments u need for ur birthday celebration?
3. For the greater good and survival of AJC track and field, please pay up by tmr.

What should this be called

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

Really really miss you.
Where have you been.
Are you going to come back,
from hiding in the unseen.

Miss your determination,
miss your courage,
my efforts are wasted,
get nothing but garbage.

But there is still hope,
I am very certain,
for there is light
shining through the curtain.

Persevere you must
Yoda would say
if I am not mistaken
I would follow his way

If life is a game,
choose the right path.
Take every step carefully.
Don't go too fast.

Change is permanent.
Time doesn't lag
Work hard I must,
to stay on the right track.

new season

2005-08-13T00:08:00.000+08:00

First training today, after a long long break. Goodness, I feel so weak, can't even do pull-ups. The new track team has so many girls but so few guys. This is wrong lor, we should have equal number then fun, or else track will be very boring and dreary. I really want this new team to be something better than the team I have trained with for the past 8 months. Haha, starting to miss those guys man. JC life is all about CCA. Without track, I will just wither, rot, die...I will not be motivated and I would never have found such a big group of fun-loving people. Kudos to all those who make AJ track and field so very very special, in other words, kudos to everyone, HAHA!!!

Oh man, Promos coming liao, haven started revision at all. What to do...better start or else kena retain, lao lan for one more year. GP is just ..... How does one do well. I thought essay was bad. Come comprehension, THANKS!!! Chances of passing GP is like playing dai dee in front of LKT and getting away with it. Haiyoh, somemore got wedding dinner to attend, triathlon, weekly soccer and pool sessions, track training (still loving it), better start prioritising my time le. At least now got track study group, more team bonding and more focused, but feel so sleepy during study time. Hehe....need to use secret weapon le. If some people can take 4 subs, 2 special papers, getting distinctions for both, committee member for CCA and being some fit triathlete all rolled into one...Why shouldn't I try to do something like that since I already have a living role model who has done it all? SET, (S)TUDY (H)ARD (A)ND (P)LAY (E)NOUGH=SHAPE. I will do what I set my mind to. Coach Mr Tan, Miss Yap, Mr Goh, Mr Wee...Thank you all for helping me set my own goals and giving me so much inspiration. I will not disappoint ANYONE.

NEED MORE FRIENDS. COME TALK TO ME!!!!!!!

2005-07-28T22:41:00.000+08:00

Training season over, mugging season starts!!! AAAHHH!!! I NO WANT TO BE A MUGGER WAHAHAHA. Aiyah, I got to study hard so as to not disappoint myself, my friends, my coach, my teachers and all those who care for me. HAH. I will show you guys how good my results can get. HEHE. Oh man, I am so freaking busy. I have like 3 posts in AJ (excluding PE rep). How did I manage to land myself in all these. Silly me...Oh well, looks like I have to handle them like how I handle my homework...oops...better not...

Today is Junhao day!!! Junhao copied homework for the first time in his life!!! What a pleasant surprise, HAHAHA...looks like he has got affected by Jermaine, haha, looks like it is Jermaine's birthday present to Junhao. This day will be remembered. HAHA

I got to make more friends, at least thats what Mrs Toh is telling me. Feels like enough le...Maybe she thinks I am still a little introverted, but I am not!!!! Now I crap 24 hours a day. I even crap while I am on cloud 9. HEEZ...homework homework, more homework, puma noticeboard, track noticeboard, treasury, fitness drills, PW, oops forgot to mention homework, and a bit more homework and bio test.

PERFECT WEEKEND!!!

2.18.............

2005-07-14T20:43:00.000+08:00

2.18........this number has followed me for a year already. Haha, why does it have to stick to me so bad. Did I not improve at all from last year?
Oh well, 1 thing to remember is to never whack from 300m from the finishing line unless I am absolutely certain I can endure the gruelling 300m at breakneck speed. Disappointment is not something i can find in my life. I just get things done and over with. Its pointless to dwell on my past mistakes, but it is important to learn to never commit them again. Come to think of it, I used to feel a feeling of angst and helplessness when I trained so hard to receive nothing in the end of the day. However, now its so much more different, I feel a sudden urge to do better, to surpass myself, to break through the barriers that have been holding me back 10 years ago, ever since I started running on my two skinny legs. Time is not the limiting factor.......my determination and endurance is........

night training...

2005-07-05T22:55:00.000+08:00

Hhmm...got back my chemistry paper today. Only scored 50.5 upon 80. Not very good, lots of room for improvement. Must have been lucky that i could score so well with so little amount of sweat and toil put into studying chemistry during the holidays.

Haha, Jingjie ask me to call him at 9 to force him go run, reminds me of Bichu....that slacker, wonder how he is doing now...everytime tell me he used to go running at night. He said that running at night will help you improve faster. I don't doubt that claim, it indeed feels better to run at night. After running, I also feel like i am fitter and have more stamina. Anyway, since Jingjie is going to run, might as well put in some effort into my training, furthermore, I am stuck at my trigonometry tutorial. Haha, oh well, looks like I will have to ask my friends in school tomorrow.

Ran for 30 minutes, did jog first before doing some light intervals. Not a tiring run, but extremely exhilirating. I could feel the spike of adrenaline whenever I ran through dark places, haha, really a very good experience. That also helped me train my confidence to run at night, I am sure that extra confidence can come in handy during Nationals.

1 down, 2 more to go

2005-06-30T06:44:00.000+08:00

Exams are finally over and I can now forget about tests and studying. Feels like a big load has just been carried off my shoulders. Now I can train in peace without the thought of failing a major exam buzzing repeatly in my mind...hopefully...

Nationals begins on 7th July. My 800m race is on the 12th. Funny...I don't feel the least bit of nervousness. I just want to go out there and do my best. It still puzzles me why i have not seen the slightess sign of improvement despite the fact that I started training from December last year. Furthermore, i have hardly missed a single training and I have been attending all trainings with the will to improve. Sometimes I can do everything coach asks me to do, while at other times, well... I just cannot seem to do anything at all. Is there something wrong with me? How long does a person stay stagnant even if he puts in effort in all his trainings. How long does it take for him to overcome the barrier that has been holding him back from glory. How long must I wait to get the results I have been so eager to get? Not long...I know it.

I must be nuts

2005-06-28T01:06:00.000+08:00

The time is 1.07 and I am still awake. I am seldom nocturnal furthermore I seldom study...Ha. Life in junior college is so much more different than in secondary school. In secondary school, teachers will hound you for your homework. If you did not do your homework, you will be forced to stand outside your classroom. Reason? So that the principal patrolling the school can have some fun lashing her tongue at you. Well...In junior college that does not happen as teachers give us more respect...Much more to be precise. No such thing as public caning or scolding...haha. However this newfound freedom has its pros and cons. Pros are the freedom we as students now wield. Cons are that, people like me will tend to have their results tumbling downhill... Snowball effect, butterfly effect ...blah blah the works.

I wish my exams can be over as soon as it started. I want to train and qualify for finals for my 800m!!! It will be tremendously hard but I am sure that even if I do not manage to qualify, I would have put in my best effort. Anyway, priority now is to get my exams done and over with SO WHY AM I BLOGGING NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I MUST BE NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING- -ROCK ON EVERYONE!!-

my blog

2005-06-26T09:40:00.000+08:00

Today I created my first and very own blog. Since my mother asked me to start writing a diary, I decided that this will be most appropriate. Firstly, my mother will not be able to see what I am writing and secondly, because everyone is blogging these few days that in order to keep up with them, I thought that blogging would be most apt.

Exams are around the corner and I just started to mug. I am at a total loss in maths. Chem becomes Chim and Bio becomes bio as in......you get what i mean.
Come to think of it, I cannot believe I actually studied immensely hard during my secondary school days. Maybe one reason I managed to do it is due to my serious lack of friends in secondary school. Instead of spending time with friends, I spent more time studying. Oh well, there goes my four years with no social life. Anderson junior college is so much better than my secondary school. people here are so much more friendly and I haven't experienced any backstabbing incidents....yet. haha. However i believe AJC will live up to my expectations or better. My CCA has to be the coolest CCA of all time!! AJC TRACK AND FIELD ROCKS MY WORLD!! there are really many cool people in AJC TRACK AND FIELD that sometimes I feel so very intoxicated in its unity. haha I shall not elaborate or else this blog will be a thousand pages long. Anyway, its time to study hard and avoid playing too much DOTA and using MSN.
-3 cheers for everyone!!-
