Tagged by yanchao, haha he is in tekong now.
I am lazy to tag some others. Most will probably not do it anyway.
Rules:I. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. You may alter the question to fit you. ie. sex of subjects involved.II. Tag 5 people to do this quiz. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.
1. Do you have secrets?
Of course, who the hell would have no secrets. Either that guy is mentally retarded ( no offence ) or plain lying.
2. Would you fall in love with a blind girl?
Yea why not. Ok so it isnt practical but whoever said falling in love was practical anyway. An article from reader's digest said it was bordering on an obsessive compulsive disorder.
3. Do you enjoy going to school?
This should shock most/ some of you that know me, but i actually enjoy going to school occasionally. Haha the people in there are great. Cant says the same for the lectures.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Get a lambourghini! Buy over leeds united and drag them up to the premiership. Hmm what else, invest so i get more returns, buy everything i ever wanted, give some to dad and mom and bro to spend and everyone that was true to me and yea i'll give some to charity, it just feels right.
5. Will you die for some stranger?
Haha like what yanchao say i think i might be compelled to act in the spur of the moment ( really! ) and may end up losing my life to help some stranger but if you give me a chance to sit back and think over it. I might not. So it remains ambigious i guess. Depends on the situation too.
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Since i cant pick both. I'll choose to love someone instead. Surprised? Think of it this way. If some sinister ugly person is in love with you and you just feel creeped out by it wouldnt it be like a corruption of the love the other person have of you? Love just will not feel like love in this case even if the intentions of the other half are pure. However, if you love someone, it will always feel blissful, even if you are that sinister ugly person to that person whom you love and she treats you like one. I would very much prefer the beauty of have the chance to love someone. ( Whatever happens after you are done loving someone doesnt count, for example if a couple breaks up and starts hating each other, because that would encompass what happens AFTER love, not love itself. )
7. List out your 15 favourite songs.
in no order of merit
- Love story - taylor swift
- Drink up me heaties - pirates of the caribbean at world's end
- Colours for trombone - bert appermont
- Duel of the fates - star wars episode 1
- Dolls - ayumi hamasaki
- Guilty - ayumi hamasaki
- Billie Jean - michael jackson
- Get over it - avril lavigne
- To where you are - josh groban
- Everytime we touch candlelight mix - cascada
- Red cliff soundtrack ( i dont actually have it yet haha )
- There you'll be - faith hill
- He said she said - ashley tisdale
- Boku wa kimi ni niteiru - see saw
- Can you feel the love tonight - elton john
8. If the person you secretly like turns out to be a lesbian what would you do?
I'll damn well turn her straight haha.
9. Is there anything that will make you extremely happy?
I dont think so, there isnt anything i want that badly now to warrant me getting extremely happy if i get it, might change in the future.
10. What makes you pissed off?
When i dont get what i want and when people withhold stuff from me. Like give you hints of something but do not give you the whole picture. I will get very VERY vexed inside. I cant bear not to know stuff. Haha its just me.
11. How would you see yourself in 10 years time?
No idea, the dark side clouds the future. Its scary yet there is an element of excitement about it. Cant bear to fathom the future.
12. Who are currently the most important people to you?
My parents, brother, relatives, and friends.
13. What is the most important thing in life?
To not waste it. Live life to the fullest ( cliche but true ), be happy!
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
Single and rich. There is a loophole in the question because nowwhere does it mention happiness and since i would like to think i would be happy with riches, i'll choose the single life lol.
15. What is your favourite colour?
It should be quite obvious to those people i know lol. hint hint, the socks, but no, its 50-50 between white and pink.
16. Would you give all in a relationship?
Whats the bloody point in a relationship if you do not want to give your all? So yes i would.
17. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
Haha now why does this question... I would pick the one whom i would be the most comfortable with.
18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
Call me petty but i would not. Forgiveable but not forgettable.
19. What CCA are you in?
Football aka soccer and house committee!
20. What type of person will you fall in love with?
Describing it wont do love justice. Because love is meant to be unexpected unpredictable so i wouldnt know who i would fall in love with would i?
Thats all people. I am NOT being emo in case SOME of you think i am haha

Standard Chartered Marathon
Ok no prom picts because i am lazy. LAZY :D
Completed the standard chartered marathon last sunday with a timing of 5:55 thats 5 hours and 55 minutes. No point memtioning the seconds. Suffice to say it was one of the most mentally taxing and difficult things i have ever done. DId not train at all for it. Last time i ran was during the new balance real run. Maybe only the bike rally in june is tougher than this but in terms of a sheer mental test. This one wins hands down.
Ok firstly i seriously underestimated the ardousness of the whole thing. The 1st 20 km was smooth sailing enough. The next 10 also ok, could still run. Then when i hit the last 12 km. all of a sudden my legs start to cramp up. It was the final straw and boy oh boy i just HAD to slow down to a walk. Its agonizing really when you are walking and you can roughly see the outlines of suntec city in the distance ( the finishing line is somewhere slightly beyond that ) and then you slowly see the sights move past you. Its a real psychological challenge. You start to have thoughts of 'will i ever make it back to the finish line at this rate' and of alot of other weird stuff. Example, like how good will a cornetto taste now or what i want to eat for lunch. ( Yea they mostly revolve around food but well when you are running you do end up hungry. ) It was also painfully boring ( and painful ), so much so that i was actually yawning throughout the walking part. Your legs arent exactly hurting, just a feeling that they will cramp if pushed over the limit just abit and your soles feel as if it is slapping the concrete below you. The cushion on my adizero LTs are DEFINITELY not enough for a full marathon despite being great for 10 km sprints. Feet felt squishy after that.
Oh now since my legs arent paintful so what is the root of the pain you might ask. Well i dont know if its the distance or the energy gels i took but during the concluding 10 km of the race. My bladder just felt VERY VERY wrong. You got the urge to pee as if your bladder is bursting at the seams but when you go to the toilet. Only a feel drops of urine comes out ( I know i am grossing some of you out now but too bad its my blog :P ). Seriously its the worse feeling in the world. Imagine running your lets say 2.4 km with a full bladder and not being able to pee it out and multiply the distance by about 5 times.
Sprinted the last 1 km because, hmm its the last km and with all the spectators at the finish line cant bear to lose face by walking. Did i mention that towards the end as we were passing by the F1 pit building, ferrari was having some sort of an exhibition there, and there were like 50 ( estimate ) different models of ferrari for us to drool over. Amazing vehicles. Crossing the finish line was more of a relief than anything. You feel 'hey i actually did it, wow'. Its a sense of a justification of the belief in yourself. The finisher shirt is nice. Slightly different from last year ( and i dont mean the 2008 replacing the 2007 on the logo ), which is good because i feel that the shirt from the previous years are getting abit too common.
Thanks to gab, wh, wl, jc and gh for coming down to support. Very much appreciated. And also congrats to dong lin, kwek, chek keng, and chek keng's friend ( didnt catch his name ) for finishing this hell. Scrapping plans to do the 84 km sundown ultramarathon next year. My standard isnt there yet. Obviously i could complete it and walk the last 50 km but i would take like 24 hours? lol.
Be back next year. Target: under 5 hours
Looking forward to sundown marathon, please let there be a finisher shirt.
p.s. abit lazy to blog lately so.. erratic posting.

Prom 2008
Ahh seems as if my blog died. Ok maybe it did for close to a month. Nothing much to post really. Some of the events that took place are..
- End Of A levels ( seems VERY long ago now )
- Soccer at cage
- Soccer at NYJC, i captained :D and wont 5-1 against dan's team
- Class chalet, yea i got my toenails painted pink
and lastly...
PROM 2008
Managed to assemble my prom outfit on a steal. Shoes courtesy of zean, socks mine, shirt already had them, pants got it from some random shop for 50 bucks and a white blazer for 90 from fourskin.
Caught a bus to orchad together with yang, alson and joseph from bishan. The cheapo option. Alighted at far east plaze and made our way to Hilton Singapore on foot. Arrived at 6.15 and the doors werent open yet although the ticket stated a 6pm starting time and the circular on litespeed encouraged us to come early for games and photo taking. No complains though lingered around outside the ballroom looking for familiar faces all dressed up. When I arrived, it was like 'whoa'. Seriously the girls stole the spotlight. All of them in their simmering gowns all made up and hair nicely done. Guys were mostly in blazers and shirts with tie as the dressing for a guy is a little more restricted i guess. Sat at table 18 with kwek, jc, jr, wm, wl, wh, jy, amos, hh and ck. 11 guys in 1 table. As expected the food was cleared with speed after every round. The dinner was OK. The usual chinese dinner fare, minus the shark's fin haha. $90 wont get you shark's fin i think. The host was great. Professionally done, he managed to get the school going and really liven up the atmosphere ( not that it was dead in the 1st place ). After dinner, as usual our class trademark took hold. Stoned around at the venue taking pictures and well just plain stoning.
Decided to cab to butter factory to join in the post prom festivities and our class ended up getting dispersed all over clark quay due to taxi drivers who had their own individual interpretations of clark quay. Then everyone started callling ME to find out our positions. Yang, garrett and mings joined in the calling 'fun' too. Turns out butter factory was filled to the brim and our class decided to go a bar to drink abit ( that was after alot of stoning and aimless wandering ). Shared a jug of heineken with garrett. Thats stuff is a million times better than anchor beer, that i took with garrett and zean last week. Although i would prefer something other than beer because as gab says drinking beer is tantamount to drinking oil. The calories are off the charts. Was priced out of buying other alcoholic beverages there. Me and garrett wanted to try kamikaze ( a shooter ) but by the time he was game enough to try the bar was closing and they werent accepting orders. After that we walked to the boat quay macs to get some food and chill/ stone. Caught the 1st train home and the sky was lightening up considerably by the time i reached my door.
By the way my marathon is on this sunday.. MARATHON 42.195km. The full distance and i havent been training at all for it. Pray for me people. Doing it for that nice adidas finisher shirt lol.
I promise prom pictures sometime soon, haha after i get them. Everyone is too nicely drssed up NOT to post any picts.
