Went to school today, as usual, skipped econs lecture ( seriously, waking up to reach school at 8am on a school holiday? ), went for an organic chem test. Did not study the mechanisms at all, so didnt score what i deserved, i think. After that, went shopping with the guys; JC, JH, GH, Gab and yanchao. Shopped for a total of 8 hours. My stamina is gone man. Shopped from 1 to 9, with 1 lunch and 1 dinner break thrown in between. Headed to far east plaza to some 'la mian' shop, the food is not bad but the enviornment is not what you would normally expect from a shop situated at orchad road. Went pacific plaza, shaw, wisma atria and takashimaya S.C.. I bought a pair of jeans from topman at decent price, thats all of my reapings for the day. Caught the bus to suntec from outside lucky plaza. Apparently the 'queensway syndrome' was still with us, and today it morphed into the 'orchad syndrome'. Everyone was super guai lan and crappy haha. On the bus, i became err queenie yap, jiacheng became, gay woo ( try pronuouncing it together, its weird ) and junhong became gay duck. Guohao... Guo ahmittahao Gosh. Gab and yanchao was spared the most of it haha. Laughed like mad when gh and jh recounted the incident where they sprayed a teacher wet with water while he was peeing in the toilet lol. Went to suntec, visited adidas, nike and tons of other sports shop. Played fifa street 3, i still havent got over the 1 goal curse hiaz, lost to who else but... Went over to marina square to shop somemore after that, with a dinner at long john's silver thrown in. After that went home dead tired on 162 with yanchao.
According to jh's blog, we spent a total of 2 hours in topman alone today, visited 4 outlets haha. I also realised that i could squeeze reasonably well into an extra small ( xs ) sized shirt lol. For pictures please visit jh's blog, lazy to update or get from him haha, got me looking.. well.. wrong. Got NTU cycling on sunday, tomorrow hopefully going down to support kel and yang for their performance.
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares. - Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude

Desolate
A nice Poem/ song composed by a friend of mine, its titleless lol
It may not seem like I’m there
Coz I’m always around
And when I don’t make a sound
You said I’ve gone away, that’s not fair
Sometimes you leave me hanging
With no replies from my constant asking
Sometimes you show you care
You tried to show you’re there
It’s just my imagination
You leave me breathless with just a kiss
You leave a gap I struggle to fill
I heard everything you wanted to say
Coz your eyes give away, the words you won’t say
Kept hidden everyday
I just can’t love you it said
The days seemed long when you’re not around
The nights together don’t seem to go on
Tomorrow keeps me guessing
If there’s a moment where we’re talking
But I won’t know that for sure
It’s more than a torture
To hope and wonder but always getting another
May the moment spent with you last forever
Everytime you’re near, I wish you’d go away
I’d rather not have this feeling than to give it away
So don’t come near me and just let me be
I don’t love you if we’re not meant to be
But please, don’t go now that you’re here

Results? Worthy?
Since there is a raging argument on yanyu's blog tagboard, as well as the local papers, regarding the animadversion of the difficulty and results of school tests, i'll do a short post here to give my comments. although both debates examine different areas of the topic, they are both sparked off by the same source, students not getting the ideal grades for their tests/ examinations. If someone does not get an ideal score for their test and examinations, especially those exceedingly driven onces, what are the consequences? A lost of morale, a devaluing of one's self? Perhaps the kids mentioned in the articles in the papers are too young to take the results in the proper context. For scores alone carry no value. When compared against the immediate competition, under the same scenarios, only then will your results be an accurate reflection of your status, in academics or whatever discipline you pursue. For a school test, it is proper to compare it among your school mates, for an external exam such as the PSLE, 'O' levels and the 'A' levels, the comparison is brought to a national level. These 2 cases are independent of one another. So yanyu, you can relax, for i do not think that half the cohort is going to fail mathematics for the A levels, like they did for block test ( including me ). This very fact is recognised by the cambridge examiners as well as the ministry of education, as the benchmarks for the various grades are not set at an absolute score. Hence, as long as you take the nature of your results, and interpret it corresponding to your enviornment, you will find that your results are significantly over average. Ergo, do not fret, work hard, and give yourself credit when it is due.

Solitude
Had the bestest best street soccer game today in ages. YEAHHH. scored a personal best ( in recent times ) 7 goals today. The goals were nice too, almost every kind you can think of, except maybe a bicycle kick haha. One long shot, a long range backheel, and a hard 1st time volley from the side. =), cant wait to play with the class. Leeds United lost their league 1 playoff to Doncastle, 1-0. 1 more season in league 1, wth. :( Ok last self imposed day of freedom has passed.
A beautiful essay by a friend of my friend
Healing Silence -Bloom
After the concert, I gave her a flower and told her she danced beautifully that night. She peered at me from under her eyelashes, large eyes surveying me as if verifying the truth of my words, then her lips parted to give a shy, sweet smile, pride emanating. How different she was now from when she was on stage. She was surefooted and confident where the stage, only the stage was her world.
Now, she rather reminded me of the sunflower she was holding in her hands. Like a flower before bloom, silent in the wind, swaying while the world beckoned it, she was afraid to bloom, to expose herself to this world she was so unsure of. Like how a flower needed to be pretty and fragrant to attract the butterflies and bees, she wished to be beautiful and to be liked by all. She wanted to impress and yet she wanted to fit in and be accepted by those around her. She needed to know, to be certain that she was good before she bloomed. Otherwise, she was silent.
The sun nudged the flower, the rain caressed it, and the caretaker tended to it meticulously before the bud started to open. What she needed was for somewhere to whisper to her that the world was safe and that she would be accepted. To her, words of affirmation and encouragement were soothing as cream, slowly assuaging her self-doubt.
Just like how the sunflower in her hands opened towards the sun, her beam at my compliment showed her belief in my words and she knew I was going to show her no contempt. Trusting, she bloomed beautifully as the smile lit up her face.
“Thank you,” she said, wanting to stay silent no longer.

Its tricky
Woke up at 8 o'clock on a SATURDAY ( i can sleep to 2pm if i had nothing on and i slept the the previous night, just go ask my mom ) to go to NTU at boon lay, BOON LAY for the 112 km thing i am going for next weekend, with a few of my male classmates, namely gab, jc, hh, jh, gh and wh. Took 52 form bishan to jurong east interchange, 1 hour. trip from jurong to boonlay, 20 minutes, bus from boonlay to NTU 15 minutes, got lost and walked to our destination, 20 mins. Guess what, wasted all this time to attend a 15 MINUTES briefing. Crazy man. Thats not even counting the return trip. They did not even distribute the event singlet like they said they were going to because of some problems with the printer of the singlets. Screwed up. Ok, its going to be a round island cycling trip, taking bout 10 to 12 hours, starting at 6am in the morning ( not sure ). Checkpoints are at East Coast, West Coast, NTU, Kranji, Yishun, Serangoon, Changi, and back to East Coast. Did i miss out any? You readers can infer the route lol. Going to be hell lots of fun. After that the people who went, me, wh, gab and hh went to jurong point, ate lots of macs due to me bringing coupons that gave them free items if they bought the extra value meal. gab and wh took macflurry, me and hh took nuggets. Full brunch ( i skipped breakfast as usual ), then chionged arcade. Blew 7 bucks each, between me and hh on a new dinosaur shooter game. Damn fun, and gab was controling our movements in the game lol. So all 3 of us kind of played at the same time. Rushed home after that.
Uncle came to pick me up at around 4 for a trip to the new bridges at south east of singapore. Parked at telok blangah, walked all the way to hortpark with my cousin and their parents. Quite tiring but fun haha. The view from henderson bridge is magnificent. Hope can find the time to go back there again and walk the entire distance to west coast park. Along the way, some idiot decided to put a mentos into my water bottle. It dissolved and now my nike water bottle insides are coated with a layer of sticky mentos essence after i empted the water. nice job.
I swear i'll get my physics SPA done by tomorrow, no more time to lose.
The moon have been looking great these few days haha, If you have the chance, do glance upwards once in awhile and admire its beauty.
GP on friday, hiaz. When people have expectations, u have to try your best to live up to them lol. Yet, on hindsight, i felt i chose the wrong question, because its darn tricky. "Never think that war, no matter how necessary nor justified, is not a crime'. Do you agree? I mean, if it is justified, then it cannot be considered a crime right? Dunno lah, may luck befall me. AQ was crappy as usual, hate the short time they give us to write an argument, and why the hell do all AQs have to be relevant to your society, ie. Singapore. Speaking of which, yay, we got pedra branca haha.
I think i am in need of a break, but then i havent really been studying. Nope not very much at all. Its paradoxical, i am hoping for a break this holidays yet i am wishing that i dont get any, for taking a rest means less time to catch up on work way behind. confused. GSS is on, hope to get my music/video player and some wadrobe refreshments during this period, if i can spare the time. Oh and i need a pencil case before the mid years damnit.
Long post haha, take your time sorry to make you read all these, if you actually bothered lol
I am not going to make the same mistake twice.
In this uncertain space between birth and death … we need hope as surely as we need food and water, love and friendship. The trick, however, is to remember that hope is a perilous thing, that it's not a steel and concrete bridge across the void between this moment and a brighter future. Hope is no stronger than tremulous beads of dew strung on a filament of spider web, and it alone can't long support the terrible weight of an anguished mind and a tortured heart - T.G.S.R. ( no idea who the hell or what the hell is T.G.S.R. )

Enigmatic
Class is getting addicted to basketball lately, played it for the 2nd time this week today. My basketball skills are non existant, haha, any apparent reflexes and stamina are imported over from sports in which i am more inclined to, e.g. badminton and soccer. Became the unofficial 'defender' for my team ( i dont know whats the basketball term for a defender ) since i erm have a high sucess rate of stealing other people's balls ( sounds way wrong ). Scored 2 shots so far in 3 games lol, at least i broke my duck liao. The ball just dont seem to want to go into the hoop. Still prefer soccer though, hopes jh recovers faster and then our class will have an proper stiker and we can return to challenging other people in street soccer. Kudos to basketball though, it wasnt as horrendous as i expected =).
On tuesday me and jh were rotting away during the maths revision lectures and so we discussed our grand schemes to form a street soccer team at the end of the year ( field soccer if we can get enough people, anyone interested? ). Turned into a somewhat crapping session. Here are some of the names we came up with for the team name.
AFC, BFC, 2,4DNPHFC and CFC. Try and guess what they stand for haha. Its very lame. Answers below
[ Alpha football club, Benzene football club ( of which the benzene ring will be our club symbol ), 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine football club, and lastly, chloroflorocarbons ]
Some other lame stuff jh sprouted include some insults regarding weight, e.g. you are so fat you weight looks like my phone number, you are so fat you need to be baptised in an ocean, you are so fat that when you step on the weighing scale, it says one at a time please. ( oook, abit cold, haha, not meant to offend anyone, he quoted those from some radio program. )
Manchester United won the champions league, congrats, but the Los Merengues will be back soon. Slept a grand total of 3 hours last night. According to jh ( why isit him again ), this would most probably be the last champions league final we will be watching, as next year, we'll be in NS so cannot see, unless UEFA decides to move it to a weekend lol, and the season after that singtel would take over the rights. I am so not going to suscribe to it ( my dad wouldnt agree to it too haha ), its crazy paying 100 over bucks for a set-top box and 10 over dollars per month to watch a competition which ur team gets a maximum of 13 matches IF they make it to the finals. It was nerve biting, man utd's goal was nice, the buildup was classy and ronaldo's header was superb. Lampard's had a stroke of luck, but chelsea did dominate the proceedings in the 2nd half, so it can be looked as reward in advance haha. the match dragged on for 3 hours, meaning it was 5.45am by the time i went back to sleep. Could have easily ended up 3-3 or more if both teams had taken their chances. Penalty shootout, i'm neutral and i felt the tension, so fans of either team, i imagine you all will be on the verge of cardiac arrest if you are watching it 'live', but that is teh ufn isnt it ;). GP tomorrow, good luck to all. Dont feel confident this time.

Gotta go, gotta go
Sundays, ahh crap. Wasted my entire weekends not doing work. Gotta start, and i mean START NOW. No more procastinating, i am sick of my own procastinating. Its disgraceful. The weather is getting unbearable, the heat is killing me. Nearly suffered heat stroke during street soccer this morning ( ok exaggeration ). Awhile ago i just bathed and i was feeling sticky and sweaty all over half an hour after i got out of the shower. I do sweat more than most of you here, but never experienced this extreme kind of heat before. I do prefer the warmth ( like on a normal afternoon ) to the cold ( like LT4's freezing temperatures last year ) but this is too much. Just now was sitting in my dad's car, and again i was prespiring forno darn reason, alhough the aircon was on. Nope i aint gonna turn my aircon on at home, cant stand that artificial recycled air feel. Wont blame global warming too, i dont believe in that crap. I mean yes there is global warming, but the effects isnt that drastic. Gosh!
Juggled a soccer ball, 61 times yesterday while playing with gab ong ming. New personal record. As you all know, my ball juggling kind of sucks, so practice does indeed work. Leeds united won their playoff 2nd leg 2-0 after losing their 1st leg 2-1. PHEW!. They just have to win the playoff finals and they'll be back in the coca cola championship. 1 step closer to the premiereship. Will heard more about them if they get promoted haha. Good luck to the lads, LUFC forever.

Friday!
Finally man, a friday which i dont have to associate with the term 'blue' e.g., friday blues. Today was great. I finished my poisson tutorial yesterday ( hey man, i know this is routine for some people, but for me, and i think most of you will agree, its a miracle ^_^ ), so did not have any pressure to do some last minute rush copying today. The tutorials today was damn slack, chem was more relaxed, GP was slack ( as usual ), and econs and physics, the only trouble is to try and stay awake. Phew. School ened at around 4.15 today after an interesting remedial given by our chem teacher on how to draw organic compounds and chemistry equations on the computer. Quite cool actually. Played abit of soccer after school with the soccer guys, and then left with Gab and yanchao to go to J8 to buy.. err socks haha. Bought a pink and a red one. its HOT pink btw, so gonna wear it to school one day.
Went home, bathed, then rushed to bugis to go meet up with the house com for farwell dinner for the J2s. Million thanks to the J1s who sponsered our feast at Seoul Gardens. Did some crazy stuff ( fried chocolate icecream and egg mix doesnt taste nice at all, more like egg flavoured sloidified milo powder ), made a din ( might be getting some complains considering we were wearing our exco shirts... ), and ate till our hearts content. Took alot of pictures, will post them if i feel like it and when i get them. took 133 home with a couple of them in the end. Had a great dinner. Many thanks to Xinyi for painting my house.. err representation of a house actually haha. I think mine was the most complicated among all the J2s so, thanks lots yea =). House com, Dragon house rocks!
I need to start running soon. Got lots of event coming up in the 3rd and 4th quarter of the year. Without soccer training, if i dont do anything, my stamina will go down the drain. I dont wanna grow fat haha ( abit extreme but possible ). Trying to clock up 10-20km per week, but dunno where and when to run. Time seems hard to come by. I want to hit 45 mins for the 10km passion run, after that target mizuno wave run, army half marathon, new balance real run, and the highlight of this year, the standard chartered marathon, i'll finally be 18. Hope the do not count from the start of the year of something, so i can take part in the full marathon category. I'll make the orbituries if i dont train for that haha. Gotta play more street soccer too, my limited ball control seems to be getting more and more off colour lately. Last and most importantly, start and continue my high intensity studying for the mid years. I do not want to fail them.
Have strength, for you are not weak
Take heart from the courage that abound within you
The will, the faith and the believe are all that you need
All the world thinks matters not
For beauty is within the eyes of the beholder
Look inside you, for there is a flame that will never go out
A flame that is shared by your familiars
Do justice to your being
It is what you are deserving of.
When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being. - Daisaku Ikeda

Love.... quotes
Since my dear cousin shermaine asked me recently why i got so many love quotes on my blog ( in her words it is ' are you in love or something ) i would like to clarify something haha. i am NOT posting those quotes because i am in love or i am emo, i am a happy happy person. Nope. Well you all can think all you like, but dont you think love is a topic that is unique. That is why there are so many quotations about it in the 1st place. It is a wonderful feeling/ emotion, between lovers, relations, friends, and maybe even ur pet dog or goldfish. One which i felt that it should be deserving enough for it to be showcased on my blog. Love is a wonderful thing. The world is a better place because of it =). So heres another one.
Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. There are three things that last faith, hope and love, and love is the greatest of these. - Landon Carter, A Walk to Remember

Manchester United are the Champions
The primere league went down the wire, and congrats to manchester united for retaining the title. Real and Man Utd really are intertwined. My leeds united made the 2nd last playoff spot too despite a 15 point deduction :D.
Too bad it was never meant to be. Live life without regrets. It still holds

Dead beat
How do i put today in words haha, horrendous doesnt quite fit it. An understatement in fact. Lets give all my dear readers a roundup.
Today was be yourself day for our school. Due to certain complication that arose, me and mings didnt wear our cat high uniform. Last chance to don the green shorts and metal buttoned shirt and i blew it. Great job chuen hwee. 10 years studying in a certain school does make u feel a certain attachment to it, regardless of whether u like the school or not. I wish i had the courage to just go against what miss hazel told mings bout registering but i didnt. I wish i had the courage to convince all old boys to wear it. I wished that i did not had to care whether anyone else wore the uniform and just wear it. I feel so let down, of all things, by myself. To some of you, this may seem foolish or trivial, but to me, it is not. I think mings might share the same feeling?.
Gotten an obscenely bad score form the chem test returned at assembly. Mrs Lim didnt bother to mark any of the diagrams and stuff that i drew in pencil. I would have still failed but, but at least a more decent score. Cant blame her, if i do that for A levels, i'll also screw myself. Was practically machine-guned during chem tutorials and the physics practical lessons. The bullet holes should appear any moment now. Ok i'm being lame. -_-". Chem extra lessons, followed by 'no end' with jiacheng and weiliang ( do refer to my previous posts if you wanna know what 'no end' is about ). Also found out that every thursday i have to stay back at 3.30 with the rest of the chem failures for chemistry related stuff. Wednesday i am also down after school with soccer people in Mrs Lim's class. Gotta respect her man, although i've given her shitloads of crap, she still havent given up on me. Appreciate that, will work hard to repay that during the midyears. The fact that this practices are meant to be good for you doesnt mean i have to like them.
Got 2 econs essay, tons of chem worksheets, 2 maths tutorials to complete, and chemistry SPA A to memorise during the weekends, all due at varying times next week. Oh and i did not clear the 'no end' thing, so monday will have to report at 8am for another session. Finally left school at 7pm today. I am so mentally drained, and tired. I really should be sleeping now, but dont feel like. Good thing my CCA commitments are over. If not, i'll turn suicidal or something come the mid years.
Nope, i shant blame anyone, including myself. Pull the act together and get going. Even the food today was awful. had vegetarian noodles at 10am, then a cup noodle at 5. Thats all i ate in school. Measly by my standards. Bad, bad day. Haiz. Just realised that all the todays in this post should be yesterdays instead. Glad that there are people who are enjoying themselves. The world would really suck if everyone is feeling down together haha.
Isit that hard?, am i that unworthy?

Response to ykm's article
Let me first declare that my tagline is not, 'Let the inferior people die'. Rather, it is more akin to 'society should not channel an over proportionate amount of resources into pushing people with an inability onto the same plane as people with inborn qualities which predisposes them to have a better chance at survival and for taking the human race forward, and if by doing so it causes the premature curtailing of living for these people, it would be an acceptable loss.'
Darwinian theory of evolution dictates that the fittest survive. The question here is, what determines who or what is the fittest. There is no value or scale that exists which can assign each and every individual his place in the pecking order of elimination by falling out of the evolution rat race. Yet, in over indulging our aid to people who will give a fairly low probability of return, we risk a misallocation of resources. Let me pose a scenario. Do you want to pile a person who is mentally slower with tuition and other academic stimuli to enable him to scrap through the education system, or would you prefer to give these services to a person with an average level of mental capacity to enable him to progress further. The point i am making, is that the peak amount of achievement is not a general platform shared by everyone. Some people have a greater propensity to achieve greater heights than others. Why impose a cap on the top just to achieve a mediocre rate of return from the bottom. Human progress was never defined by what is languishing below, it is defined by the soaring heights to which talents take society. Draw you a case in point, people today still uses technologies that were introduced from ancient history. Yet, why are the continued usuage of such technologies not mentioned when we talk about progress? It is the new introductions which enter society which shapes the fabric of society and defines progress. We need people of ability to carve out new openings in every field everywhere. They shoulder a great burden in dragging society forward. Would it not be more prudent to alleviate their load and help their cause instead? That being said, i believe that everyone should be given a bare minimum level of help, if required to get them to a certain point. From then on, it is all up to them.
This is not a suggestion to intentionally put down people who are on the lower rungs of society. As quoted from ykm, Hellen Keller surmounted her disabilities to achieve her goals. If people are at the lower reaches of society, then more effort will have to be put in to get them to where they want to be. I am not saying that it is a total impossibility for people to achieve what they want. If poeple do want something that badly, they should be prepared to put in an effort proportionate to their abilities, but isit too much to ask that society drag, i stress the word drag, these people up to a higher standing? Then again, there are also limits, either imposed by the being him/herself, or by current reality. For all the hard work we put in, and all the assistance society gives us, do you think you or me have the adroitness to become an astronaut? There is only so much that your enviornment and outside help can do. The rest is coded into your genes. Everyone should be given the chance to achieve their dreams, but not all dreams are meant to be attained.
I have to admit, there is no fool proof way of sieving out the strong from the weak and in deciding who should recieve a quantifiable amount of aid. There probably never will be any such method. Hence, i stress that the views i expressed here are my visions for a utopian society which maximises efficiency, something that is a close impossibility in reality due to the various factors that interplay.
Here ends my short reply to ykm,
( i'll try to organise a better response during the june hols or sometime when i am free haha, but i dont think i'll ever beat your word count. Btw i never claimed that i am the elite or near the top rung of society. I am just an average teen trying to survive my A levels year. Yups, Cheers )

Monday soccer blues
Lost 2-0 to RJ today, haha, now we dont even have a chance in theory to qualify. They played better, period. Came on for 35 mins, but i think i played like crap. Stamina was non-existant, i think partly due to the flu i had over the weekends, and am still having now, was panting like a dog after 5 mins. Madness, considering i can run 2.4 in 9 minutes flat, and gone through the ACS(I) game in the blazing heat without too much fatigue. Ah well, think this is highly probable to be my last game in NY colours. I had a decent run, haha 28 games if my memory didnt fail me, 1 goal. Some RJ guy stepped on my ankle while i tackled him just now, its swelling now, was damn pain. Subsided a little. The bus took AYE then the CTE to bring us home, instead of the usual PIE then CTE route.
Seeing NUS, was somehow reminded about LTC and the fun we had there. Missed those times man, missed the people, missed the lessons, the torture. It also made me realise how little i had seen of the western part of singapore, i've been the the central ( i live there ), south ( orchad road and stuff ) and east ( chalets etc ). but seldom head to the west. Post A levels, i think i am gonna organise a round island jogging trip or something. Any takers?.
Have maths test tomorrow. My poorest subject. Hope to do well this time. the topics dont seem so difficult.
I still dont have people to accompany me if i wanna go for the NY concert. ANYONE INTERESTED? Is it too much to ask, for you people to appreciate classical muic in a sense. Wonders what the class did for PE after they passed NAPFA. I wanna watch Ironman, and i still havent watched forbidden kingdom )=
Its depressing see-ing people breakup around me recently. How did something which seemed so perfect fall out of place. Sometimes, it makes me wonder, do you have THAT sort of care for me? Did anyone ever have? I'll sort it out i swear, ariel did fall for eric after all. ( i think almost none of you can figure this out =) )
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more. - Erica Jong

Weekends
Attended AJ idol on friday, at AJ. Its nice to see some familiar faces, like martin, ceph, kendrick, alford, carol. The performers werent that fantastic. Carol's group was decent, and they bagged the best band award, but the instrumentals kind of overpowered the vocals. Their solo category winner isnt that bad either. Missed her cos i went in late ( from training at NYJC ), but she gave a repeat performance after she was declared the winner. Mark Tan as host was his usual impressive self, haha havent lost any of his CHMA hosting sign. Congrats to ceph ( if hes reading this ) for organising it, and being the AIC lol, koped tons of ideas from CHMA. After that, had dinner with yang and carol until 11+ before we headed our seperate ways.
Saturaday began with me dragging myself out of bed early in the morning to go support/ help the class with their Napfa. Passed mine 2 to 3 weeks ago. Was abit hesitant about going at 1st, afterall, sleep IS good haha, but glad that i went down and contributed in the end. So it was well worth the missed sleep. The class did well, everyone passed their napfa except for 3 people, including jh with his injury. Weiliang and yanchao, you 2 better pass ur SBJ u hear me, u dont wanna waste 3 months of ur life next year. Just train hard, you can do it. and SEOW WEILIANG, next time i ask you to run, u better run, wha lao, i pace you liao still fail, by 3 secs. just push abit harder next time can already. Played soccer with eugene peter's class and some other J1s after napfa, hes my successor btw, the new dragon captain. Not bad they all, only 5 guys, yet all are into/ can play soccer haha. The heat is terrible though. Went home, felt the onset of flu. Nose turned into a waterfall, and felt pretty tired, just wanted to sleep, but forced myself not to. Saturday afternoons aint meant for sleeping. Stoned abit then met yang in the evening for dinner and to go to CJ's concert at their own performing arts centre. Its nothing like Victoria Concert Hall, or Esplanade, but its nice to have a building dedicated to performances in your school ( its way better than LT4, its seats has cushion and its carpeted ). The concert is not bad, liked the 1st movement of Yellowstone symphony by James Barnes, as well as an arrangement of Jupiter by Gustav Holst for a saxophone quartet. Pity they didnt play the full orchestral or band version, its one of my favorites. Their saxophone section is hardcore, jiff said its part of CJ culture lol. Enjoyed the performance, havent been to a band performance in a long long while. Met weihan, john and some of the kayakers there too, apparently to support their friends. Miss playing the clarinet, and being part of a group who makes music. Being able to feel and express through music. Its even more saddening to know that you could have easily been among those people performing at CJ, or even at NY's concert next week, or i could have followed the twins to AJ, they're like principle players there now. I am sure i am of the same standard, if not better. I gave it all up for soccer. Has it been worth it?. I dont see myself being part of any amateur bands in future, so i guess my music journey is over.
Today, met up with gab, jc and jh to go queensway all wanted to buy shoes, or shorts. In the end only gab went home with a pair of adidas sneakers he fell in love with at 1st sight. $70+ not a bad catch, considering it was just out. I so wanna get the puma sneakers haha. Although gab, jc and jh thinks that it sucks, i think it has class man. Still a lil sick now.
Yanchao got his blog up, haha congrats
The weather, argh there was lightning like 30 mins ago, so happy it was going to rain. Rain makes for nice sleeping conditions, but the sky is still holding up now.
hope real madrid wraps up the title by this morning, if they win. Cheers man, 2nd title in a row. Kianny is right. He told me last time that whenever man utd won in recent times, real madrid will also win ( he supports man utd ), ran into him on friday night lol. Yea pal, u're right haha. Guys if you dont believe me, go check ur history books.
I care, even if i dont appear so.

Mayday
Camped over at Junhong's house last night/ today morning. Played tons of halo, as usual his brother owned us, rocket launcher was crazy and fun. Fifa i keep losing to Junhong by 1 goal margins. 1st match warm up lost 4 or 5-0 cant remember. What followed was 2-1, 1-0 and so on. Although improvement, i did manage to get more shots then him in one of the matches, and i think he bribed my playes, all cannot chip on target. Top spin is addictive, dont blame me for the spasms lol, 1st time playing. Gab, Junhong was goin crazy during top spin. Guohao went crazy during the match which was the purpose of our visit. Liverpool lost 3-2, extra time. After the game, the clock was inching past 5, everyone was pretty knocked out. Sadly, my fifa lounge hopes went up in flames. Junhongs sofa wasnt that bad. When u are deprived of sleep, anywhere will do. Woke up at 8+/9, me gab GH went to get breakfast while junhong went for tuition. Had lor mee, supposedly some popular stall at old airport road food centre. ( btw its not that i was lazy to queue, just that i didnt want to eat the lor mee until GH brought his here, looked kinda appetising so decided to order after all, so dont think i am some lazy bum who ps-ed u all queueing haha, ok maybe i am lazy, but i didnt ps u all ). Went home via bus, had lunch then slept from 3.30 to 8. Had dinner and slacked abit. Going to start on chem soon, haha although its very very late i guess. I get closer to going for the 'no end' thing every minute haha ( For my class, if u fail chem, u stay back next thursday after common lunch break, until... no end, as said by Mrs Lim ). I dont think i'll sleep tonight, seriously. I'll probably be walking around half asleep by tomorrow during training. Chem really has alot of crap to digest, but no choice, sad.
Round up of the week thus far, nothing much. Highlight was tuesday's econs lecture and tutorial. Miss poh and the class crapped alot during the extra tutorial session, some extracts :
- Cheryl, upgrade yourself from HH.
- Pulau Bukom, ykm and yan yu.
- Weiliang's gf
- and some stuff bout me which i would care not to elaborate here haha
Econs lecture that day was also quite screwed up, class was goin nuts with laughter over jokes, pranks and stuff. I woke up form my slumber during the lecture due to HH's screaming, only to look at gab and saw a pencil case flying at me, courtesy of him. Yea, that was how crazy everything was. Btw, we had 2 hours worth of econs tutorial and 1 hour of econs lecture that day. Tedious.
Will be attending AJ idol tomorrow after training, mentioned it in my previous post. As mentioned below, they only allow 3 non-AJC-ians audience per performer. Turns out, you are supposed to be more like a family member or relative, instead of friends. So if anyone checks yang is gonna be carol's twin and i'll be her cousin lol. Also, the total number of concerts i'll be attending has increased to 4, including CJC's this saturday haha.
Signing off to avoid 'no end'
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity. - Gilda Radner
