Sorry...

2008-07-13T11:32:00.002+08:00

hmm...

been quite long since i blog le.. either dun really have the time to use the com or no mood to blog.. but suddenly have something to blog today..

i always try to make you happy, that's all i ask for.. but at times, there are some decisions that may result in the opposite effect which i may have to make in times.. I know i may sound like i'm giving myself excuses and being selfish..but please try to understand at times..sorry if i'm asking too much..but at least try not to be upset for too long k..it hurts me too =X

Sorry..

Perhaps It's jus me..

Perhaps it's jus me expecting too much..
Perhaps It's jus me, and my fault for not confirming..
Perhaps it's jus me bringing up my own hopes so high..

Oh well.. it's over.. I wont brood about it anymore..haha..

2008-03-10T18:46:00.002+08:00

After so long...

So long since I last blogged.. not much mood to blog ba..even though things had happened.. well..shall not brood about the past events, except the recent one perhaps..

A Levels!
the release of A Levels results came after such a long wait.. dunno whether is a good thing or bad..but strangely i felt nothing during the last week.. neither anxious nor worried nor afraid.. simply nothing.. totally different from what I felt for my O Levels though.. god knows why.. well.. it's a good thing i suppose.. less white hair-.-haha

den came friday.. still feeling nothing.. played game somemore..seriously it did not feel like it concerned me..gosh.. well..heck and i went to school..

met up with friends when i came back..saw some botaks as well..haha..chatted with some and den we headed for hall.. saw Mr Lim.. been quite a while since i saw him.. last time was during new year..haha.. anyway.. he gave us a super heavy goodie bag..gosh..haha..and we waited for the release..

the release came with Mrs Loke talking about the overview and blah blah blah..den came names of ppl with distinctions....

Well 'results' is a sensitive topic..shall not elaborate.. but congrats to those who had scored well or at least happy with their results.. for those that did not score as well..bounce back, as one of my good friends said..

Thank you to all my teachers, Mr Lim, Miss Quek, Mrs Lim, Mrs Beetsma, Mrs Leong (even though I may quarrel with her quite a bit, but still she is my teacher)

Sorry to Miss Quek.. You are a great teacher and I really thank you for all your efforts.. Sorry that i couldnt produce a better grade for GP.. I'm glad you were my GP tutor.. and you always will be.. Same goes for all my other tutors as well.. You've been great! Keep it up and hope you will enjoy teaching your current classes.. Hope our paths will cross again sometime! Take Care! =)

2008-01-06T13:55:00.000+08:00

I guess..

I guess i aint that good with handling interpersonal relationships ba...constantly making the ones i love angry.. i'm sorry.. it's just too much things to think and worry about lately and i aint getting good sleep for it..keep dreaming of the things i worry about..

I'm sorry...

2008-01-05T12:28:00.000+08:00

sigh...

sian sia... why does it always seem like it's my fault whenever i'm angry.. gosh..it seems like i never have the right to be angry or something..perhaps ppl think i'm too good tempered le..cannot lose my temper..that's why i somehow lose that right..so now whenever i'm angry..it's always my fault..

sigh..initially in the morning still can laugh and stuff de.. den suddenly started scolding me..what the hell la...women can be so............i cant even find a word for it..gosh!argh..even if i apologise, she's still not appeased..sian la..let her cool down la..ARGH!!!!!! why cant i even have the right to be angry at times as well too?!?!?!?!

2008-01-01T01:48:00.000+08:00

New year post...

Just a note.. this is not a funny post or whatsoever..so if u are looking for jokes and laughter..u can stop now ba..haha..

hmm..first post of the year..just came back from watching the fireworks..hmm..dunno leh..somehow i dun really appreciate the fireworks ba..i meant this year de seems very messy and uncoordinated..dun really feel nice though it's quite long..still not worth it ba..i think..oh well..

anyway..this post aint about fireworks ba.. currently i'm in my study room next to my parents' room..they are talking..in dialect..but i can more or less understand..just cant speak that well though..haha..hmm..talking about my mother's family ba.. hmm..dun wish to go into details.. i just thought.. if my grandmother were to pass away(touch wood touch wood), i think the family will definitely break up..no more visiting my grandma house etc..no more gathering.. good thing is i have more personal time, bad thing is less of family time.. i mean sometimes i admit that the elderly may be hard to take care of..a lot of things need to be taken care of..it frustrates one..especially if u are taking care of someone who is not blood related to you..it even frustrates u more i guess..but even so, it's still part of your responsibility to take care of her and also do mind your words at times even though u may be a straightforward person.. u gotta be sensitive to things u say, especially to things that the elderly hold dear to..the elderly may be a hassle at times.. but to take a step back.. it's the key that holds the family together.. it's the only person that can bring a family together and at least interact..without her, i believe a lot of things will definitely change.. the change will come inevitably but i really hope that change will not come so soon..that is perhaps part of my new year resolution ba..

as for the person in the matter.. after what i hear..though i do believe that it may be unfair to judge a person jus based on what my mom says.. but i will definitely view her in a different light now.. but i aint gonna show it that obviously..it wont do me any good... perhaps.. in this case some may say i'm a hypocrite..i too hate hypocrites.. rather than saying a hypocrite..why not say that everyone wears a mask, a different mask with different ppl.. once the mask is off..u have no idea how ugly the person might be..i definitely hope that my friends are not wearing a thick mask in front of me..cos i'm trying my best to show who i am in front of them..and i hope that they will do the same as well..haha..

hmm..boring post,interesting post?.. doesnt matter to me..just typing how i feel..

2007-11-30T12:55:00.000+08:00

First day going to work... wish me luck!haha

2007-11-15T07:51:00.000+08:00

Argh!!!

Sigh.. it's a non-exam day and yet i have to wake up so early.. not that anyone is waking me up or i set an alarm that sets off soo early! my brain is too active i think..sigh..wanted to sleep more but end up could not fall asleep..so have to wake up..sigh.. ok..i've decided to nap later!!! i want 8h of sleep... seemed easy for some...but definitely not easy for me...sigh..

oh well..actually i should kinda celebrate... i mean dreadful econs was gone by yesterday... dunno how i did...but at least i did try my best...now just hope for the best ba.haha... and my mom is out of town this early morning!!!! she went to japan..so nice i think..gonna experience winter for the first time.. though it was very troublesome cos need to bring a lot of clothes and jackets etc just to keep herself warm in the cold weather.. but still.. it's still winter and snowing... u will never get that in Singapore..haha..

hmm... another thing i realise... About tv shows.. i realised some tv shows have injected some philosophy thinking into their shows... some are very interesting and really worth to think about it.. wonder if they hire someone who study philosophy to work at the tv stations-.-haha.. got one recently from a old channel 8 drama.. think gonna blog about it soon... was planning to blog about it after A's.. will see how it goes...haha..

hmm...sigh..still so early..dun feel like starting work...sigh...oh well..think gonna do some household chores den.. after that gonna nap!!!!haha...that's all for now...

OH YES... almost forgot... Happy birthday to Beverly and Janet.. though i dun think they read my blog..but in any case.. just want to mention only..haha...

2007-11-13T12:28:00.001+08:00

Econs...

The Most Most Most Most Most dreaded paper is coming up next... after which i believe most of us can at least heave a sigh of relief... after that i believe it's time for us to start to look back on these two years and see if it's been a fruitful year or just another period of time of disaster.. oh well..right now.. ECONS!!! argh... time for a bath first.. bye for now...

2007-11-10T11:13:00.003+08:00

hmm..that's about it ba..gonna slack a little for now..haha...that's all..ciao.-.-haha

2007-10-10T18:31:00.001+08:00

Shocking dream...

woke up from a dream jus now... it just struck me... perhaps i'm really too stressed out... gotta adjust my pace and make sure i do not burn out...oh well... still i'm gonna work hard...just a bit more...

2007-10-07T18:28:00.000+08:00

Hmmm...

Should I rejoice or should I be disappointed and sad?

Whatever it is.. All i know is that i need to work hard now and hope for the best... the last leg of the race...gonna give it all i have... no one can help me except myself...

2007-09-23T22:33:00.001+08:00

Accomplishment!

I feel proud of myself.. feel quite accomplished during this weekend..haha.. prelims just ended by last fri.. after that i slacked a lot...played games.. watch tv...napped...

but that's not my accomplishment.. my accomplishment is that i have settled 2 of my friends' birthday presents( super belated de), visited my grandma on sat(quite long nv go le..cos of studying and stuff), went to job this morning( 2 big rounds for about 18 mins ba, plus some exercises... cos I'm getting fat.. gosh..even my bro took notice of it..sigh...) and lastly i cleared my table!!! that's the biggest accomplishment!!.. my table's been messy the whole time ever since i started studying for prelims.. now it's finally cleared (though i think it's gonna be messy again soon... when i start to study for A's..haha..oh well.. cant be helped ba.wahhahah)..

but something sad is that i din make it for the sending off of mr tan yesterday... i wanted to go.. just that i realised i promised to go to my godsister's celebration weeks ago..and it clashed right smack at the same time.. sigh... all i can do is that hope that mr tan has a safe trip and all the best for him there! oh well..that's about it for this post..ciao...

2007-09-12T19:42:00.000+08:00

Earthquake!!!

Oh my gosh... this is the first time i felt my home shaking quite violently sia.. and it affected all the blocks nearby as well.. gosh.. thought it was going to be an earthquake.. thank god it wasnt.. it was a tremor... it's due to the powerful quake with preliminary magnitude of 7.9 (gosh that's powerful) that affected Indonesia few moments ago... gosh.. everyone seemed panicky sia..haha... thank god it's just a false alarm for us.. but not for Indonesia.. hope the people are ok...

2007-09-12T15:27:00.000+08:00

Positive/Negative thinking...

Ok.. i seemed a bit too free to blog.. just taking a short break after 4 papers.. and we are not having any paper tml(Good luck to those who are having bio though) haha..

Hmm... quite sian today... kinda screwed up chem paper 3... made a huge blunder which i do not wish to elaborate le..sigh..now gonna hope that the other two papers are relatively better and i can score well to make it up..haha.. which brings me to the point of this post...

Hope... something i suddenly realise that keeps us going.. hoping for the better... hoping that things will be different.. hoping that we can make up for our mistake the next time... it's something we always do, yet kinda unconsciously.. in this case... i hoped for better chem paper 1 and 2 which i can score well in... it's about looking forward... regardless of what happens today... someone i know said, 'It's good that I forgot what happened today and move on as I dun really have a good memory.'

Hope is needed, especially in times like examinations.. u cant possibly ponder and cry over the mistakes u made in one paper that you feel so depressed till you cant study for the rest of the papers.. Keep Hoping... Hoping for the better, Hoping that things will take a turn.. hoping that the next paper is always better than the one before... and by the time you know it.. exams will be over soon.. and if (Touch wood touch wood) you really did screw up a lot of papers.. it's already over and nothing can be changed le.. so why ponder over it? should start preparing for the next exams.. in this way.. you will never feel low for long.. (P.S. in exams... just hoping isnt gonna work... gotta put in your effort no matter what.. haha)

haha.. dunno what happened to me sia.. suddenly become so optimistic.. strange..haha... oh well..i guess it is better? dunno la...

One last quote (Something that we once heard before i suppose):

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. Instead of crying over the mistakes of today, why not hope for the pleasant surprises of tomorrow? You will never know what holds for you tomorrow! =)

*Time to study.. sigh...lifeless..wahahhaha -.-

2007-09-11T16:13:00.000+08:00

Dreams...

I'm beginning to hate dreams recently.. quite a lot actually... dreams as in those you had it when u are sleeping, not those kind of ambitions thingy... and the bad part is that those dreams i had make zero sense, maybe even negative sense -.-.. it would have been better if it is about the future..wahaha-.-haha.. anyway.. these have been robbing off my rest time like nobody's business..well, at least it should be my business! i need rest! argh!! oh well.. it cant be helped den. gonna keep going.. only 2 days down.. but hey.. look on the bright side... at least 2 days are down le... must continue! after that gonna try to force myself to sleep a lot after prelims to catch up on my lost sleep time! haha.. k.. time to study! haha

2007-09-07T01:11:00.000+08:00

ARGH!

Gotta buck up gotta buck up le! sigh... gotta force myself to sit down and marathon study le.!!! argh!

2007-09-04T20:21:00.000+08:00

Just one thing......

Eh.. Dun mention it le k... later i angry then you know..bleh! haha...

2007-09-04T19:48:00.000+08:00

Hmm... Aspiration..

Hmm... Just a random thought.. actually thought of it for quite some time le.. but never really did it.. it came from my chinese teacher in the secondary school.. she rebutted about the point of not having enough time to finish our holiday homework.. She mentioned, ' Well, you have 24 hours in a day.. Let's suppose you have a sleep for 8 hours. You have 16 hours left. So if you spend 8 hours on entertainment and meals etc.. You have 8 hours to do your hw. How can you say you dun have enough time to finish your holiday homework?'

Well.. it's time to test it out? haha.. gonna try to go for at least 8 hours of work tomorrow!!! hopefully more and it's productive that is...haha.. well.. that's all.. Time to bathe!haha...

2007-09-04T01:35:00.000+08:00

Past Lives. Present Lives. Future Lives

Hmmm..maybe watch too much tv le..oops..shouldnt be watching tv..should be studying..but in any case.. just a thought.. do we really have past lives? do we really get reincarnated? ever wonder what or who we are in our past lives? haha.. perhaps what we have or who we mixed with are due to the karma that we created in our past lives.haha.. hmm..but in any case.. i think we should care more about the future rather than the past, isnt that so? past is something we cannot change.. what remains within our reach is the present and the future.. but still.. it does boil down.. does destiny exist? are we allowed to defy destiny and become what we want? or is it all really predestined? well.. it's all up to us to grapple with.. haha.. that's about it.. Time to study.. well.. it aint a really good and appropriate time though.. in any case.. study! haha

2007-08-31T16:00:00.000+08:00

Reality and Dream....

How do you determine what's real and what's not? Things that you can feel are real? Things that you touch are real? How about the things that you feel and touch in your dreams? Aren't they real? What determines what you dream? Things you see? Things you have an impression on? Can dreams and reality co-exist? Or are you living in a dream right now that you aren't even aware of it?

2007-08-29T20:24:00.000+08:00

Finally!

Yay! Finally my final duty as the QM has ended! I have finally paid and collected the new rope bags that we were supposed to purchase long ago to replace the ones we lost.. Finally it's done, though it kinda took quite some time to be done. BUT better late than never!wahahah...in any case.. Good luck to Zoe and Bingxu! Enjoy your time as QMs! =)

2007-08-15T18:33:00.001+08:00

Filial Piety...

Old Man has a piece of advice... Be filial to your elders, especially to your parents.. If not, who knows, karma will get back at you when you have a son and you will have no one to blame but yourself..

*Having no respect for someone who has no respect and no care for her mother...

2007-06-13T20:28:00.000+08:00

Sorry...

Sorry guys.. sorry to the climbers of tjc.. i know it's wrong for me to pang seh you guys for the dinner and b-field. it's jus.. there's something more impt than having fun, and it aint just studies(believe it or not, i cant control what you believe)i do not wish to elaborate on what exactly it is(and it aint about my girlfriend this time k)

I'm sorry, real sorry for being a wet blanket. but i'm sure you guys will have the same fun with or without me.

If you guys still want to blame me, so be it. I just want to say that I'm sorry....

2007-06-07T16:37:00.003+08:00

Finally a post....

Ya ya i know i know..my blog is like dead or history or whatever u call it ba. it aint smth i can help k.blogging requires the mood and some event to happen. well. events do happen, but mood sometimes lack. And, given my stupid, slow and idiotic com and loads so so slow.. mood is gone before even loading to the blogger page. so of cos there isnt any posts.so stop blaming me k.

Today? today dunno why i suddenly have the patience to wait for the com to finally load to the blogger page after how many donkey years have passed. perhaps cos feel like taking a break from econs ba.enough of the intro.. let's get on to the post

I think almost all climbers are blogging about their climbing experience.haha..i'm no exception. just that it will be a post without any pictures.sorry about that cos i dun think my com can handle that..hope i can make this post as brief as possible..

i still remember the starting days of our batch.. started with learning the figure of 8 which some of us struggle(well at least i struggle initially) to the different harnesses and wearing of them. den we proceed to some simple climbing techniques(man it was depressing when u could not do it and the seniors did it with such ease and grace!)den there was the lead climb. i still remember the incident where hakeem scolded us harshly for leaving equipment unguarded.(oops)

den came the stong trip.it was such an accomplishment when we finally completed the climb,though the view was not as nice as we thought it will be. den came the extra day(haha, i believe that was quite memorable). we enjoyed a feast during the night at the guide's house.we even listened to mr tan's ghost encounters.hai..still regretted for listening to mr tan's instructions. in e end i could not see the sunrise i was hoping to see.sigh..

den we moved on to natural rock climbing.THE BATU CAVES! haha. i believe it was a different experience for each and everyone of us.'Because I Got High', "In Guns We trust".. brings back much memories......

den we have our competitions.. Climb on! well. it aint really a comp.but still i believe we have lots of fun at that time. so many routes to complete.no stress.no isolation.truly enjoyed ourselves i believe. and we won the overall school champion!(though it's kinda cheat.hehe)

den it was Boulderactive.. man.. i think that was the worst comp for me.. only had 3 bonuses where all the others completed route after route. it was hell for me. so depressed at that point in time that i tot of quitting the club, feeling that i wasnt worthy to stay in the club anymore..but i came thru, feeling more determined to train harder..

den it was CLIMBX! our very own climbing comp!we organised it! wasnt part of the comp team, but the wall tech team. that's something to be proud. we made those routes possible, though most of the planning was done by philip. but hey. we stayed till reaching midnight to make sure everything are in order. but i must admit.. working with philip is stress.well that cant be helped. he had high expectations. but anyway.we came thru. everything went as planned and we won 6 out of 10 prizes! how cool is that?!

den came Rockmasters. well. it had a slightly different comp style than the others. i did ok.. at least not as bad as boulderactive i think..cant really think of much to talk abt though...

den came our final and last comp... Pumpfest..the best comp i ever had. flashed 1, top 1, and got 2 bonuses. got 12th for the result. man i was happy.though i din made it to the finals, it is good enough for me. someone special came down and i believe some credit must go to her. =). but hey, our school owned the rest man! got champion for Novice(men), Novice(women), Intermediate(women) and school category 3rd.it was awesome!

haha.. i believe most of us remembered how mr tan told us that we are the weakest batch he had so far and probably the most problematic one(i believe we are the only batch who lost so many things, ok, that's not something to be proud of).. but hey.. it aint about how we started to be.. it's the process that made us, as well as what we turned out to be that matters, dont u think?so i think mr tan needs to change his views towards us!wahahaha..

tml will be our last training..completion of level 2-rope ascending.. gonna miss all those trainings..... but hey.. let's make tml one training that we will never forget...

2007-01-13T23:15:00.000+08:00

Happy birthday to my eldest daughter!

Happy birthday to you, Meiying! Hope all your wishes come true. I apologise for not being able to turn up for the celebration today.. Real sorry.. Hope you guys had fun without me! Stay happy always!=)

2007-01-13T23:01:00.000+08:00

got some new experiences out of it.. dunno whether is a good thing or bad.. for the first time.. i got a ride from mr tan leh..not bad wor.. cos the sprain was quite serious then i was reduced to hopping around.. starting was quite fun la.. cos never had this before ba.. but after that.. not funny sia.. tiring leh.. so inconvenient la.. then i had to sit down to bathe.. what the hell.. hai...

then today.. went to see chinese doc lor.. he wrapped some medicine over my swollen ankle and asked me to pour in rice wine after 3-4 hours to ensure that the medicine is kept moist..now getting better le.. can limp le.. but still quite painful.. hai.. really hope can get well faster la..he advise me not to climb for a week la to prevent further straining...omg..ankle come on, get well soon! argh!

Caution!

Pineapple with ulcer.. DEFINITELY doesnt go well!!! >.<

2006-12-22T12:17:00.001+08:00

Another emo post...

well.. not really say emo i suppose.. just more thinking thru nowadays.. climbing has finally taken a step back for now.. had the last training on wed.. dont want to go into details for that... just wasnt that good to talk about..

well.. since i'm gonna have some free time for now when climbing has taken a step back for a while.. i figured perhaps it's time for me to think about stuff, reevaluate and see where i'm going to go from here and into the next year..

looking ahead.. looking at what i'm gonna face next year..especially studies and climbing.. i dunno.. i dunno if i am strong enough to handle them..both studies and climbing are going to be heavy and hard on me next year.. all these uncertainty.. it's killing me at times..

looking back this year.. well.. it's been the hardest and toughest year of my whole entire study life so far.. going home at 9 plus 10 during training days.. having late nights even during school term... sleeping during lessons like nobody's business.. been a new experience..and i seemed to have managed to scrap through the year i suppose, which is a good thing i suppose.. but it's tiring.. real tiring.. that sometimes i will hope that i can just get away from all my responsibilities and just rest for once.. just rest and nothing else.. but it's definitely not possible, just my wishful thinking...haha...

which brings me to the question whether i should let go of some things, let go of things that i'm just not strong enough to hold on to..let go of things that i'm just not meant to hold on to.. will it be better that way? i dunno.. i just hope that answer will come to me soon.. though i know that answer needs to be found by myself only.. i hope that answer will be a wise, good and beneficial to everyone out there..

just a quote i saw on my friend's blog:

Change is Always a Constant, And we Must Learn to Embrace the Changes..

the answer will be a change.. let's just hope that change can be embraced without hesitation

2006-12-22T12:17:00.000+08:00

Change is Always a Constant, And we Must Learn to Embrace the Changes..

Just a thought..

i suddenly felt that we should really treasure and try your best to stay in contact with your friends for they will just walk out of your life without you knowing. Not because of any feud, but rather time fades things, especially relationships when you dont make an effort to maintain it. you can be very close friends for a period of time.. but once you go to different schools or different classes.. new friends come into play and old friends just suddenly seems distant all of a sudden.. Maybe you can say that it is just part and parcel of life and that friends come and go.. but don't you think it's a pity to lose friendships so easily.. so just treasure your friends and make it a point to try to meet up with old friends occasionally or just simply chat with them if you can..

PS:It is just a thought and i'm not sad or anything if you are wondering, although i do sound as if i am..

First training after Batu....

yesterday had the first climbing training after batu caves trip.. it started early and ended early, which was a very rare thing.. hope it does continue to happen..haha.. anyway.. the training started off with keeping of equipment.. were drying the harnesses and ropes in stores.. couldnt have them dried during the washing day.. for the keeping... BIG THANKS TO TERRENCE with his help of keeping of the ropes! also.. BIG THANKS TO THE GIRLS AND GUYS WHO HELPED WITH THE KEEEPING OF HARNESSES! oh ya.. one more thing to add.. to darren(if you are reading this): please go and polish up your harness-keeping skills! you are still the QM..

anyway.. let's start with the training part.. started off not bad.. doing some bouldering.. felt that my skills did improve ba after the trip.. can do the blue route at the roof quite comfortably le.. havent really tried out the rest yet though..

then the system training starts...omg.. that was quite a nightmare for me.. finished the first set.. think i strained my right biceps le.. wah sian diao la.. my physical strength and fitness need a lot more work la.. the other set was with weights.. not that good..hai..

then it came to the hanging part.. not that bad i suppose, even with weights.. cos not really using my biceps but rather the forearms to hang for 10 seconds.. so that was fine..

last but not least.. our MODERATE PT..haha..3 sets of pushups, leg lifts and superman.. quite xiong sia..haha.. then during cool down.. i felt horrible.. felt like vomitting and giddy.. then it occured to me that my fitness needs a lot a lot a lot more work!!! hai.. got better after cool down, but still my biceps hurts like hell.. but with bel's advice of massaging it.. it got a lot better today after a good night's sleep... hope it will recover fast enough for fri's boulder circuit.. want to do well in it! haha...

oh one last thing! i managed to finish my first chinese martial arts novel entitled 'Lian2 Cheng2 Jue2'.. haha.. quite happy and the story not bad too..haha.. that's about it.. =)

Batu Caves Once again...

yay! finally back in s'pore after spending one week at KL..quite cool.. cos we get to climb at natural rocks for 3 days and got to live in a service apartment which is very comfy.. got bath tub, air con.. 2 tv.. nice toilet.. very nice accomodaton... haha..

hmm.. shall give a brief description on what we did there ba..supposed to climb at batu caves for 4 days de.. then ended up only 3.. on monday, the night before had a storm.. ended up on monday morning.. damai's walls were totally wet.. cant climb them.. ended up we proceeded to camp 5, a climbing centre in KL.. very huge place.. cool routes and cool boulder walls..overall at natural rocks.. din manage to redpoint any of my projects though... but i felt that my mental strength and confidence have definitely improved after managing to finish the last move for 'Because I got high'.. that was very inspiring and confidence boosting..which was something much more valuable than redpointing any route.. as for at camp 5.. only managed to flash 1 6a+ route.. got 2 6a+ route and 6b.. almost.. a bit sad though... but nevertheless.. overall.. i felt that i did improve ba.. haha.. then there's a secret buddy thing.. and i picked weicheng... din bother to hide it as a secret.. kinda hard too..since we all live in the same room.. then Bel picked me.. he got me a handphone accessory soft toy pig.. quite interesting ba.. and i got weicheng a figurine.. haha...

last but not least.. we had an evaluation session with the teachers and coaches ba.. it's conducted in groups of 3.. my group is me, jingwen and ernest.. din realise that we all in the exco until we entered room.. my evaluation isnt that bad ba.. for climbing... main problem is that my negative thinking.. my biggest mental barrier that is preventing me from doing what i can.. anyway.. there is still much more i can do to improve my physical strength..

then as a person.. quite ok ba.. nothing surprising come out from it.. got good points like responsible, helpful, serious etc.. but accompanied by seriousness is inflexible.. like not a fun person cos i keep talking to them about equipment stuff only.. then mr lim say maybe can learn a bit from Bel when i communicate with the rest of the group.. should be easy from now on.. since he's going to be in my class next year... dunno what's going to happen la.. haha...

what was surprising from the session is the evaluation from Mr Tan.. for the first time he actually praised me.. it was quite surprising but it felt good.. cos like for the first time i felt that my efforts are recognised.. as a leader and a QM for the club... kinda needed that cos of my negative thinking trait.. he said that i'm doing a good job as a Qm.. the standard is above his expectations, which was really uplifiting for me.. seriously i din know he felt that way.. always thought i was doing a pretty bad job compared to the seniors.. then he also mentioned about me having distinct leadership qualities and being serious, giving clear and pointed instructions that the club members will listen to.. that was really what i needed to carry on ba.. maybe i just needed recognition from others.. dont really get that much often.. haha..

one more thing was that he mentioned the reason why he doesnt really joke with me a lot cos his personality is very similar with me.. negative thinking and quite serious.. then he also said that being pessimistic can be conquered.. it's up to oneself to conquer it.. he conquered it and he wants me to conquer it ba..that's about it ba... really hope i can conquer it and be a good climber..

Low.. Sian... Whatever you call it la...

today is a horrible day.. started off bad, again.. lecture from teachers again.. dunno why.. this second lecture.. seriously i feel that all the screw up are really our faults... kinda pity the teachers now.. cos like they have to deal with all this crap..

then after lecture.. training begins.. first day with my new pair of shoes.. pain sia... for some reason.. couldnt finish the boulder traverse in one shot..that was the start of everything bad.. for some reason, again.. which i dunno why la.. couldnt exert strength.. arms just cant seem to listen... no pain.. just cant use strength.. ended up i was struggling even with simple moves.. only achievement today was that i finally managed to finish a blue route, which was the one at the roof.. but couldnt feel any happiness or whatsoever.. suddenly i felt all sucky.. felt damn low and damn disappointed.. felt like i'm not even suited to be a climber. ok. i've improved.. but the improvement is so darn slow.. i felt like i dont even belong to the club now.. then the words of Mr T echoed,"If you dont want to stay in the club, dont!' then the thought of quitting the club din just crossed my mind this time.. kinda stayed for quite long..

then it gotta screwed up again.. hai.. we went for a 5km run.. and apparently the store isnt locked..weicheng was the last one using the store.. so i told him to switch off the light and lock the store behind him.. it was my mistake that i din check again when we went for the run.. no point blaming anyone.. it happened, it screwed up.. my fault.. i really dunno la.. is it my fault? i'm really trying my best to be a good quarter master.. but it feels like it's never gonna be enough.. haha.. with screwing up my duties and as a climber.. really damn sian le.. suddenly it occured to me whether will it make a difference if i were to leave the club.. haha.. the club will only lose a serious person who doesnt really hang out with the rest of the club.. a person who will open the store and close it .. check for equipment.. that's all ba.. i think someone can replace me and do a better job.. haha.. i even thought of a person whom i think can succeed this job much better than me le.. we will see if that will come into use some day..

sometimes i just had enough.. dunno whether is my stress endurance or whatsoever la.. i'm a person who can lead and follow.. but sometimes leading seems to be a hard job to do.. especially when the people dont cooperate well and i dunno how to make them cooperate.. well.. quoted from Mr Tan, "That is leadership'.. oh well.. if that's the case.. maybe i'm just not meant to lead then.. sigh...

hectic day...

yesterday was one hell of a day.. started off the day early... and BAD! reached school at 8am.. was having a expedition meeting with the teachers... horrible meeting la.. apparently Mr T wasnt very happy with us.. was scolding si ying and xiangwei for the things they did.. i mean seriously wasnt really their fault... they are new to such organising of things.. of course they would make mistakes de ma.. he asked for specific details.. the si ying got him details... he said wasnt necessary.. come on.. how we know is too much or too little at times? you need to at least tell us right... hai.. forget about the meeting la... conclusion was that we cancelled the trek due to several reasons la..

then came a talk by Mr T to the whole club.. apparently he was still unhappy.. PMS har? i also dunno la.. maybe he got too fed up with us le la.. bad things always come in several waves at one time... first was the expedition.. then was a parent who kept calling the school.. whoever's parent was that sure got us into quite a lot of lecturing.. then was our attitude problem again.. personally i wasnt that used to such lecturing ba.. so this lecture came and felt damn sian.. luckily philip talked to us after that.. that one was much better la... he managed to bring us back and feel motivated for training again.. haha...

forget about all the demotivating stuff la..yesterday was quite hectic.. first time i had programmes stacked one after the other for the entire day la.. right after training.. i rushed my lunch and headed for chun kai's house for PW... haha.. quite slack.. it was the last meeting before the actual rehearsal.. ended up i was playing PS2 with chun kai.. oops.. haiya.. i think my group is ready to go le.. they are very prepared le.. so no worries.. only thing that bothers me will be the Q and A session... but cant do much.. we drafted out possible questions and answers.. hope it helps ba..

oh ya.. right after PW meeting... i rushed home to bathe.. was meeting my 'family'..so need to bathe.. was still wearing the climb on t-shirt for training.. hell no am i going to meet them in that..haha.. very happy to meet them... been so long since we met la.. cos the family was split up to MJ and TJ.. very hard to meet up.. then yesterday we met for dinner! went to esplanade there and had Thai express.. first time eating there.. had the green curry.. quite cool... first taste.. sweet and spicy.. quite nice.. then after a few more tastes.. wah.. started to get real spicy.. drank 4 glasses of plain water straight.. felt very bloated! dunno was the rice or the water who caused it though..haha..

after dinner.. was walking around and looking at the seaview.. then walked on and then a guy approached us to ask if we wanted a boat ride.. well.. never been on a boat ride in singapore.. should be nice.. then was supposed to be $5 pax.. but then we bargained and got $3.75 pax.. haha.. but suay nai niang couldnt join us cos he needed to reach home by 10.. hai.. oh well.. maybe next time ba.. then we sent him to the station.. din manage to go to the station with him cos we were running late for the boat ride.. haha.. so sorry sia..

when we returned for the boat ride.. guess who we met... MR MARK CHAN! oh my god.. totally unexpected.. thought we saw the wrong person.. he slimed down le.. looked very fit sia.. dunno if it is more work out for him or too much stress as a VP that made him slim down.. quite cool to see him la.. haha

for the boat ride... was ok ba... but sadly we couldnt fool around la.. cos got someone else on the boat.. tourists lor.. a family.. then sadly.. din make much noise or fool around.. but overall was quite good for me.. taking pics with my phone throughout the ride.. enjoying the breeze.. haha...

after the ride.. went home le lor...was getting late and i promised my mom to reach home by 10 plus.. ended up i reached home at 11..sharp i think.. dunno la.. cos my mom was supposed to help me dye my hair! yay! finally got my black hair le.. so christine.. happy ma? finally you are having a white-hair-free leader for OP tomorrow.. haha.. that's about it ba..

oh ya.. this morning.. went to climb asia to get my second pair of climbing shoes.. hai.. heart ache sia.. 100 bucks gone.. just like that.. but got a PEARL Slipper... much smaller and tighter than my current one though.. haha.. hope can climb better with this pair ba.. =)

Emo...

hai... lately very emo for some reason, which i dunno what it is... feel very sian about almost everything... school, life etc... just had an ogl interview yesterday... then today damn sian... felt that i wont do a good job if i become one.. so i told one of the HC members that i pulling out... suddenly all the flame and enthu-ness died le... really very sian... really want a proper rest this holiday... yet all the things are piling up... homework, year end trip and training... i really need a rest... badly...

maybe that's why today when i was going back home from school today... took things very slowly le.. though i saw 229 at the bus stop.. just dont feel like running towards it and stop it.. i just sat down and waited for another one, listening to instrumental songs... walking home... perhaps it's like one of the few times that i took almost 25 mins just to walk home... i was practically strolling... looking at everything else around... realised it's quite relaxing... dont think of anything... no worries.. just walk and enjoy things around me... haha... the feeling felt so unfamilar.. there isnt any good scenary.. just people and some trees around... but it felt so unfamilar... maybe i should do this more... but there isnt time... always.. there isnt time... wonder when there will be...

oh... haha... when walking home... suddenly had a urge to eat waffle... really in love with the waffle that the shop sells la.. it's near my home.. so quite convenient... very nice la.. crispy and stuff..

haha.. oh ya.. today went blading with amy, christine, michelle, jennifer, hoi shek, si jing, yao wen and zhexuan... not bad ba... been quite some time since i bladed le... though i still fell.. sian... so many times i still fall... hmm.. details wise.. i dont feel like typing it out... most prob christine or si jing will blog about it ba... ahha... so refer to theirs... hehe...

that's about it ba... haha.. will continue next time... which i dunno when will that be.. ahha...

2006-10-20T10:56:00.000+08:00

Results... Fate....

hai... finally all the grades of my promos are out... not say they are bad.. if i were to say that... think a lot of people gonna surround me and bash me up to death... but just not really up to my expectations ba.. results dropped in almost all subjects except for GP.. strangely.. maybe cos got include class participation and class work and oral presentation which was quite well done i suppose...

Maths : 77 (A)
Chem: 63 (B)
Phy: 68 (C)
Econs: 51 (D)
GP: 52.1 (D)

sian diao... got a BAD CD -.-(dunno who is the one that is lame la) no la... not because that i sian.. during phy yesterday... mr lim mentioned about our class no point taking H3 since PSC scholarship requires academic points to be 11, which is equivalent to 4H2 and 1 H3 or 3H2 and 2 H3.. it's a guideline... but it also means that no matter whether i take H3 or not.. it will not affect me on whether can get scholarship or not.. like suddenly a bit lost la.. thought can get scholarship then can reduce my parents' burden.. looks like that's impossible.. but mr lim also say outside got a lot of bank loans quite good de.. you can borrow first then come out and work to pay them back.. well if i really cannot get a scholarship.. that's the only alternative left ba.. hai...

haha... but like even fate is telling me there isnt a point to take H3 la.. suay suay my econs got a D.. requirement is a C.. so.. hai... let's just forget it.. maybe next year will have some scholarships that does not require H3.. though that's quite impossible... hai... oh ya.. haha.. most likely i will get kicked out of Mazarin Programme le.. also good la.. since cannot go for scholarship.. no point be in that programme also..

must really buck up sia... i mean...now only have 3H2 and 1 H1.. no H3.. must score well!!! gonna get all As!!!!! argh!!!!!

oh ya.. yesterday went to east coast park cos of PSI too high (113), which apparently doesnt look like it... then inline skating got cancelled and we got refunded.. then we went to east coast to cycle.. (for the rest of the details, please refer to christine's blog)

one more thing!!! haha.. for the first time.. morning assembly is cancelled due to high PSI (103), which really looks worse than PSI 113 la.. but the air is really unclean.. feels weird when breathing the air this morning... got rain somemore la.. but still as bad..

hmm... dunno what to say le... *thinks hard* oh.. finally.. PW is reaching its end.. WR is handed in today!!! left with OP and I & R le.. finally.. after so long... but actually comes to think of it.. the start of actual PW feels like yesterday.. haha.. sounds like a phrase said in drama serials... but seriously.. we have come a long way without knowing ba.. and as joce said.. PW has certainly brought the class together.. cos can all say how bad PW is.. how sian PW is.. haha.. the class really come a long way to be together ba.. from like cliques all over to now.. ok la.. still got cliques.. but bigger le.. now we are even having a class gathering on the 6Nov la.. can celebrate the end of OP and the end of PW.. hope all will go well ba...haha.. ok.. end le end le.. very long le.. haha... bye!

Hmmm...

Actually wanted to blog some stuff here earlier in the day... but suddenly realised some stuff cannot be said in the blog.. cos you might never know who's gonna read it.. haha.. luckily there is always an alternative... sometimes it's frustrating to keep things to yourself and have no means of letting it out... yet .. i'm doing that almost all the time.. kinda ironic ba.. but that's me ba... always living up to people's expectations.. people expect me to do this, to do that... sometimes it's fine as it gives me a sense of achievement.. a sense of importance to others... but sometimes.. it's tiring... i'm tired of doing what people want for me.. people dun really know... they got used of me getting things done... that's how i work.. i always get things done.. though at the end i got too stressed up sometimes... but then again... i wonder... how will the world change if i were not around anymore? will people miss me? how will people remember me as? just another normal guy who once walked this world? sometimes i'm really curious to see how my friends will live without me... will their lives change? will they still remember me as time goes by?

haha... nah... i'm not suicidal... so relax for those who are thinking that way...just a simple thought that flashed through my mind...

oh btw.. big thanks to si jing who finally sent me the html code for archive after so long............... better late than never har... haha... that's all ba... 7 more hours to the hour of reckoning( Collection of all Promos papers...) =(

2006-10-12T15:07:00.000+08:00

Slack, SUAY school day...

anyway.. today.. after the lecture... our pw group proceed to the hub to do our OP slides... cos we were supposed to do them on wed.. but the meeting was cancelled... considering that we are going to have time today... so might as well let the group members have a rest.. see so nice right... wahaha... but werent very productive for some reason... end up we have to edit some more for the slides.. hai...

but here comes the suay part of the day... took bus home... then on my walk home... suddenly wanted to go back Maha Bodhi School to visit my teachers... long time never see time.... that time teachers day din manage to return to visit... next year they shifting le..so must go see them this year at least... but suay suay... the security guard told me that pri 1, 2 and 3 are having exams... so i cannot be walking around freely... hai.. suay... fate sia... maybe last week of school i will make another trip ba...

what's worse comes when i reached home... realised i LOST 5 BUCKS!! argh!!... i din even know when it dropped out of my pocket.. sian diao... heartache sia... hai... better not tell my mom.. she will kill me... haha... that's about it... ciao!

THE ULTIMATE PIG DAY!!!

first... let's start of by definining what is a PIG? typically it is an animal which only eats and sleep...

sia la... too much GP le... -.-... ok... anyway.... this is what happened today:

i slept at 3+am last night... was doing maths... guilty conscience... been slacking too much the last few days... so i told myself.. ok let's get some stuff done! sort of finished math tut 28... then i went to sleep.. eyes couldnt take it...

the next thing i know... 'Ring Ring Ring" (it aint the doorbell... i dont have one, -.-)
Me: Hello?(with a sleepy tone)
Mom: (In Mandarin) eh, still sleeping?
Me: Ya...(dur~)
Mom: What time you sleep last night?
Me: er... 3plus?
Mom: What you doing last night? (I feel like i'm being interrogated here, but i knew just what to say to stop it, :D)
Me: I was doing work, mom.
Mom: Oh, that's good( Succeeded! :D) Er, help me start the washing machine and help me dry the clothes when it's done. You can go back to nap a while? (wahhahhaha)
Me: Ok, bye mom

So i started the washing machine and went back to nap as instructed, hehe... the next thing i know... 2pm! and i actually dont feel like waking up... but... couldnt get back to sleep le.. so ok.. time to wake up... i started meddling with the speakers and mp3, trying to play some music while i'm drying the clothes... ended up i finished everything at about 2.30pm... clothes are out, but i'm hungry... so i went down to the nearby food court to have my lunch, it's always nice to be home alone once in a while, can do whatever i want at whatever time... wahaha...

i finished my bowl of You Mian.. felt full le.. but just have a craving for Honeydew sago.. it's my fave dessert... but hai... i'm not fated to eat it... they ran out of honeydew... oh well.. maybe next time...

when i left the food court... 'Drip, Drip, Drip'(Sorry, i'm bad with sounds, -.-) it's drizzling... i was like.. fine lor.. i can still walk back home with this little drizzle... wont hurt to be a bit drenched... so i was like strolling.... until suddenly it struck it... 'What was I doing just now? DRYING THE CLOTHES!!!' I started running back to my house...

this is where it started to become comical.. my pants are dropping.. why in the world did i wear that freaking pants... so you can imagine a guy running in the drizzle, pulling his pants up to prevent it from dropping... ... ... had a good laugh? i hope you did...haha...

finally reached home... frantically keeping in the clothes for fear that it might start to pour... thank god it din... haha... then i felt tired... maybe because it was after lunch... so ok.. i lied on the sofa... hoping that i will sleep though i merely just woke up an hour ago... but i din.. sian... the music is too loud.. oh.. my mp3 is still on with the music btw... so heck... i turned it off and went to my bed to sleep...

i was in a half asleep mode i think... then my mom came back from work... saw me in bed.. touched my forehead... no fever... ok....

Mom:(In Mandarin) Oi, why are you still sleeping. Wake up already
Me: ......... ( I heard her, I just dont feel like waking up, =p... hehe...)
Mom: Oi, wake up.
Me: .......... (I opened my eyes and looked at her... closed them back and turned around... wahahaha)
Mom: (walked away) (in an angry tone) siao eh... just woke up only, go to sleep again...
Me: ........ ( I heard her, but still... i slept.. =P)

i woke at 6pm... you know what comes next... a scolding from my mom for sleeping too much... i deserved it... but oh well.. what's done cannot be undone.. =P... at most stay up tonight to do homework again lor... wahhahaha... that's about it... (oh i almost forgot... sorry sharon, for not replying your sms on time about the math questions, :] )

Not a bad day... but not a wonderful day either...

today is the farewell party for the climbing seniors... started off quite good... played in the pool, helped decorate the place, helped with the cooking and stuff... most of us are having fun...

it was until we started the dunking game... started pushing people into the pool la... the year 1 guys tried to target shi han... but apparently suddenly the year 2 guys were very united and managed to save him, in addition, pushing about 3 of the year 1s into the water...

then the year 1s started to target one another... boys push boys, boy push girls, girls push boys, girls push girls... then i also joined in the fun la... ended up i made a ABSOULTELY DUMB, STUPID action la... pushed some girls in... one of them is shu hui... din really expect something serious to happen... thought it was just for some fun... SCREW in the name of fun... after she went into the pool, she came up, having difficulty in breathing la... what the hell... i really din mean to do that...i felt like a total idiot, total bastard... just really hope that there is a hole and i can jump in and hide myself la... shouldnt be her that is suffering... i was the one who was at fault la... seriously i really hoped that there was some way that can transfer that suffering to me la.. seeing her suffer.. i feel like killing myself, for doing something so DARN STUPID!!! seeing her suffer, it felt like i'm having tons of weight in my heart... i felt very guilty... although shalynn said it was an accident, but still this accident is caused by me la... i din have any appetite to eat much until it was about 10 plus at night when she was feeling much better... but there wasnt any much food left... so bascially i ate my breakfast at about 7 plus... and during the afternoon i ate a few finger food and survived to reaching midnight...

retribution comes... gastric... having so little for the whole day... kinda expected it la... i din really complain... considering the horrible thing i did... i really just hope that nothing will happen to shu hui la... i dont mind having some more gastric attacks if that will make her feel better.... i swear i will not push anyone down the pool ever again, at least not any girl... that's for certain... please... shu hui... please be alright...=( or i think i will be guilty for the rest of my life.... hai..

Sianz....

Hai... i failed my first ever chem test... 10/24... sian.... depressed sia... i mean chem is my fave subject other than maths, and yet i can fail it... haha... though i can find some excuses for myself... say it was my birthday on the chem lecture test day... but... it ain gonna help.. that's for sure... so i don't bother doing so... gonna buck up... promos are near and i'm not even sure if i will have enough time to finish studying everything... gonna maintain my consistent work and stuff... gonna keep everything in balance considering the amount of commitments i currently hold now... it's gonna be tough... but i really hope i can pull through sia...

but something interesting came up today... received an email from Miss Naomi Tan... it was about a Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) competition organised by the Singapore Police Force. There are only 6 places la... sounds fun la... we actually will be able to learn about forsensic work and how it helps with the investigation, plus we will have a mock crime scene to work with and present our findings to the judges... it is held on 14 Oct, a Sat... gonna ask philip if 'Climb On' is on that day, if not... i really hope i can take part in this... it sounds real interesting, perhaps because i've been watching too much CSI series... hehe... ok that's about it... gonna get back to maths... bye...

New timetable for doing homework? Perhaps not...

haha... it's 4.35am in the morning now... kinda cool... nah... it isnt holiday... will be going to school in about 2 hours time? haha... just finished with my EoM and the filing of my PW file... so ya...

haha... should be wondering why i'm awake at this point in time when i will be having school... nah.. i din stay up, theorically... i woke up early... haha.. tried something out today... was very tired for some reason... perhaps stayed up too late last night... so i finished my dinner at about 7.30pm ... then i went to sleep... woke up at about 9.10 due to a phone call... then it struck me.. maybe i should sleep first then wake up to do my homework... so i went on to sleep... kinda bad decision... took quite a long time to fall to sleep again, plus my dad kept entering my room to help me kill mosquitoes... well i understand his good intentions... but everytime he enters, i wakes up... so... in short... bad... haha... set alarm for 2.30am... but woke up before that... was tired... but just cannot fall into sleep, thinking of EoM... hai... PW... but now... i'm tired... and i'm quite certain i can fall to sleep... gonna to... though there is still some homework... but... it can wait... sleep is more important... wahhaa... oh well... that's about it.... haha...

2006-07-14T23:45:00.000+08:00

Tired... Real tired...

i cant believe how tired i am... really wish i could just lie on the bed for 1 whole day... or even 1 whole week.. if that is possible.. haha... but i cant do that.. so much things to do.. so little time... am i just taking up too much responsibilites or is it just my problem? But what i have now is what i have aimed to achieve beforehand...so it's kinda ironic... dunno la... maybe i just need time to get used to it... it happens all the time, doesnt it?

anyway... i had one lesson of the psychology elective... apparently it was far from my expectations... after the lesson... i kinda dislike psychology all of the sudden... dunno la... suddenly the things to do during the pursue for psychology seems so out my expectations... maybve i'm better off doing chem and maths stuff during U... at least i still do enjoy doing them even after so many years... dunno la...

today's my dad's birthday... haha... just cut the cake... my dad just returned home from work... kinda sad.. he got to work so late on his birthday... but we cant do anything about it... hai.. the more i blog... the more tired i feel... better stop... tomorrow got IP house to worry about... haha... maybe i'm just too stressed out for my own good... heck la... i'm sick of thinking about it anymore... ARGH!

2006-07-03T22:53:00.000+08:00

Woohoo... Family outing...

finally had a chance to meet up with good old friends of mine a.k.a my family members... been quite a while since we met up... so much had happened... got separated into different colleges, went thru the gruelling mid year exams or JCT in TJC... supposed to meet up during june, but considering the need for time for preparation for exams... the outing was pushed back.. well at least we can enjoy ourselves today..haha...

started off the day by meeting at siglap centre mac in the morning...er.. only meiying, chris, pengsoon, john, adam and me were there.. jiaxin and crystal woke up late... haha.. we were crapping around, talking about subjects like bio, phy... haha.. maybe it's post-exam syndrome... studied too much le... information overload... so gotta let it out... haha... anyway... some of us had our breakfast and we walked towards east coast from there... jiaxin joined us when we left mac... haa.. it's quite a long walk to east coast... but crapping with friends while walking definitely takes that off our minds... haha..

reached at east coast at about 11.30am... we started off with some of us skating and cycling.. been quite a while since i skated... kinda rusty le.. hmm.. actually not really la.. for some reason... i cant seem to skate at a very stable manner even with several practices i had... i dont fall that much anymore, but still...i dunno.. but at least i'm good at something, (pointed out by adam).. i'm good at standing up after i fall... hmm... makes you wonder why... must be those numerous falls that made me so experienced... haha...

after skating and cycling, we had lunch, at mac again...haha... karl and crystal joined us by then... talked through lunch and we made our way to parkway to play pool... realised an interesting fact... jia xin is somewhat a jinx to karl... whenever jiaxin is looking at karl when he's playing pool.. for some reason or any other... either karl will foul or will not get the ball into the hole with almost 100% accuracy.. strange har...haha..

anyway... after pool... wenzi and bev joined us... some of us left early for some reason... but most of us went to parkway parade to shop for a while before leaving... it's quite interesting.. i'm not really a big fan of shopping... but going into shops with some good friends around... it's interesting.. real interesting... had some great laughs together... really missed the times we had during secondary school... hai... gonna plan another outing at the end of year ba... really miss the times i had with this bunch of friends...

oh well... tomorrow gotta start school again... gotta have a hectic term ahead.. climbing trainings, psychological elective, pw, lessons... oh... gonna have our climbing exco voting this fri... hope i could get a post... hai... well... it's gonna be busy... but hope it will be fun too... what's life without fun? haha.. i'm crapping le... tired liao la... bloodshot eyes le... haha... that's about it...

2006-06-24T01:05:00.000+08:00

A new haircut... A new hope?

finally gotten my hair cut today... it's been quite a while since my last one... think it's the longest hair i have kept so far... now that it's all short... it feels kinda funny... but i suppose it's good... my head feels light now... better for studying? I hope so... supposedly to finish econs studying by today... but apparently i din study a single bit the whole day... suppose i have to resume to my midnight oil studying... din have good experience last night.... studied till about reaching 5am last night... woke up with a headache this morning... hope it doesnt happen tonight... got lots to catch up... sigh... oh the new hope thing... a hope that i wont screw my JCT... haha..

oh ya... my mom is finally back from her holiday.. she got me 2 pairs of pants and a deck of poker cards.. quite unique i suppose...i mean the cards... she got it from Hong Kong disneyland.. a collectable i suppose... nevertheless, she's back and she enjoyed herself, which i'm glad... i mean she worked hard for this family...she deserved the holiday... but right now she's back... means i need not to cook anymore... supposedly to be happy... but upon hearing me saying that i cooked during the days of her absence... she has the intention to teach me to cook... hmm... ok la.. not say i hate cooking...it's kinda interesting...a new experience.. we'll see if we have the time.. hehe...

2006-06-17T22:30:00.000+08:00

Price of eating...

i dunno what gotten into me these few days...maybe it's the cooking sessions, maybe it's the books, maybe is the JCT... i dunno... it has never happened before, but lately i kept eating for no reason...it is not as if i'm very hungry... i just feel like munching on something every now and then... bread, breakfast cereal, ice cream, instant noodles, fast food, tibits... i thought...hey...maybe it is my time to gain some weight, gain some muscles... been doing my pushups daily...shouldnt be a problem...

little do i know...as the saying goes,' what goes around comes around. (let's add one more phrase to that). What goes in must come out.' the price of eating strikes today...just had a severe stomachache... visited the toilet, but still feeling the pain in my stomach and feeling weak...bet i look pale now... haha... lesson learnt... eating is not always good, especially when you are eating all day long... =(

2006-06-14T19:43:00.000+08:00

2006-06-12T19:35:00.000+08:00

Start of the 'study' weeks..

today is the start of the last two weeks of holiday...i kinda planned for these two weeks to be study weeks... the first two weeks of holiday was too busy le...

anyway...let's see how the first day is...hmmm... woke up at about 10.... ate my breakfast...then played a game of dota with com( oops) , followed by reading of a issue of TIME...ok...i kept walking around during the reading time, but at least i managed to finish reading it...haha...but it was about 1 plus when i finished reading...hai...

afternoon...bought my lunch and finished it quite quickly and went back to studying(so guai le)...started with chemistry, considering it's the first subject to be tested...progress so far...not much....started with organic chem, only finished alkanes, alkenes and started on benzene( gonna continue later)

evening....this is hard to believe...at least for me....i cooked dinner...maybe it doesnt really sound quite a big deal, but hey, the last time i cooked a meal...was like sec 2 homec lessons? haha... ok la... not say i'm a great cook...the dishes i made were kinda easy la... microwaved chicken pieces and steaming a frozen-type Otah and a pot of plain porrige...but hey...the cooks of our family- namely my mom and my brother- aint around and i did it by myself...i din screw up, din make a mess of the kitchen, which was quite a miracle...haha...not bad for a start of my cooking, considering i will have to settle my meals for 10 days without my mom being around, oh well...good experience..haha... that's about it ba.... have to get back to studying le...otherwise really cannot finish then i die liao...haa... ciao!~

2006-06-06T20:26:00.000+08:00

Gunung Stong... Conquered...

finally back from our climbing expedition...supposedly to last for 5 days ended up with one more day spent at the base camp due to a small situation...but nevertheless it was quite an enjoyable trip, just that i totally missed my AV camp....only managed to make it back in time for the BBQ, but i was too tired to go for it...feels kinda bad to 'pang seh' my AV friends...oh well....what's done cannot be undone...here i'm blogging when i'm supposed to be at the BBQ...haha...

anyway...back to the expedition...i will try to recall most of the details....though it's kinda impossible...haha..

Day 1... well...we set off in train at Tanjong Pagar train station in the evening...all of us were excited...most of the people got the sleepers, while the 7 of us namely Bel, graham, jingwen, claire, shu hui, terrence and me got the seats...well there isnt enough sleepers to go around...couldnt be helped... so we din complain and started chatting happily on the train.. we got all excited...so maybe we did talk a bit too loud...which two women travellers who were sitting in front got kinda pissed...then i think it was because of a small cockroach that claire gave out a loud scream... it cant be helped ba...i mean quite a number of girls are afraid of such stuff...but one of the women travellers gave a comment, ' Too much...This is Too much'.. i din really hear it for myself..but that was what the others said... then while we were sleeping...i think it was about midnight or so...Bel told us that one of the women travellers tried to film us making a lot of noise...but sadly she din succeed...cos we were all sleeping? so she complained to the conductor...fine...do whatever you want... oh ya...a interesting fact told by Bel... reliability of it is up to you guys to decide...Bel said the two of them actually kissed on the train...hmm...

day 2...we reached dabong station... first programme of the day....caving....started off with a dark cave...i dunno what to say...pictures are all with weicheng and the others...cant really remember much... after caving we started to trek up to base camp... not a very smooth trek.... quite tiring even for me...i was panting quite heavily when i reached the half way mark...some were ok...while some were struggling...joey had muscle cramp and rachel got too tired... in the end we used 3 hours instead of 2 to reach base camp... we pitched our tents and rested for the day...

day 3... we woke up early in the morning to prepare ourselves to trek up to the summit of Gunung Stong... it took us about 4 hours to reach the summit...not a very easy trek...luckily we were only carrying our day pack... but the reward was kinda disappointing... it was a cloudy day i suppose...so when we finally reached the summit.... we could see nothing below except clouds and more clouds surrounding us... quite depressing... i could see a mountain directly opposite us when the clouds cleared for a moment...but after that it was all white again...we ate our lunch, took photos and chatted for a while before going down the summit.... going down the summit was harder than coming up...though it used less strength and energy, but the fact is that we need to control our speed due to gravity and the trek down was slippery... nonetheless...we finished the whole trek down and rested at base camp for the day...

day 4...the day's programme was to trek up to the top of the waterfall...for me the initial trek was horrible.. apparently my shoes are not cut off for trekking on soil... i kept falling and holding on to trees and branches for support...kinda embarassing.... but after the forest trek... it was easy for me...it just travelling between rocks and going up slopes without slippery soil... my shoes din fail this stage... quite fun to jump from rock to rock... then we finally reached the top...not really the top ba... but it's the highest we can go...we could see the top of the waterfall from where we were... under Mr tan's approval with his actions...the guys took off their tops and went into the water... we enjoyed the water falling on our backs...once in a lifetime experience... we stayed there...enjoyed playing with the water and took some photos and headed back down to base camp... heading back down... i got a little accident.... hmm...better not comment on it ba... anyway... was supposed to prepare to go back to singapore after the waterfall trip...but something cropped up...in the end we needed to stay at base camp for another 1 more day... we enjoyed dinner at the guide's house...having fried rice and BBQ chicken...the chicken is fabulous...especially when you hadn't had meat for a few days...after dinner we sat around to listen to stories...said by Bel, weicheng and even Mr tan with his ghost encounters...

day 5...i woke up early in a hope to watch sunrise...but mr tan forbid us to go to the edge of the waterfall.... in the end i couldnt see the sunrise...which was very disappointing... we spent our time playing cards for the rest of the day excluding the time taken to trek down and until we boarded the train... oh ya...i din manage to enjoy the malaysia night sky...the nights that we spent...it's either cloudy or raining...hai...oh well... nevertheless...it's a great experience and great bonding between people... that's about it... ciao~

2006-06-01T11:46:00.000+08:00

Expedition..

Ok...this is gonna be a short one...kinda in a rush of time...haha.. just eaten two of my grandma's dumplings...man they are good...hehe... in the evening i will be taking train to malaysia and start on our climbing expedition... not say i'm not looking forward to the trip...just that it's my first time and i dont really know what to expect...all i'm hoping to see is the Malaysia night sky once again....the last time i saw it was during our pahang trip...the sky is way cool, beyong description...therefore i really hope to see it once again....

with the start of the expedition will follow by a series of tiring, yet fun( i think) days....straight after that will be work and studying...sigh...but i think that's JC life...cant really blame...just hope i can really enjoy these days to the fullest....oh well..that's about it...ciao....see you guys after my trip... =)

2006-05-19T17:48:00.000+08:00

my first time playing too...cant control my strength and aim...so either keep missing or keep hitting the ball out...kinda sianed...haha... come to think of it... i'm supposed to be at least average in it, considering my parents regularly brought me to squash sessions when i was young...obviously i din play la...but a chinese idiom er3 ru2 mu4 ran3 doesnt apply to me...i'm kinda sucky...hai...sad...but it's interesting...when we have a bunch of friends...some watching and 2 playing in the court...looking at the good plays and funny plays...it makes the whole session interesting...haha...

anyway...after the session...took bus 22 to tamp interchange...then had my dinner with si jing, michelle and supposedly denise, but she was going to have dinner with her family...oh well... then we walked around for a while and headed home...

Oh ya...went to see the career fair last week i think...forgot to blog about it....haha...'kope' a lot of stuff...a shoe bag, 2 very cool F-16 collar pins, 3 nice paper bags etc... though it isnt very relevant to the J1 students as the requirements are not same considering we are taking a brand new syllabus...but....it's always good to know what scholarships are there to go for next year... i really hope i could qualify for Scholarship Preparation Programme in tj sia...sian....gotta go for it...so that my parents wont have to work so hard to support me thru my undergraduate studies...

2006-03-30T18:59:00.000+08:00

My first visit to a specialist...

hmm...sounds quite cool right...going to a specialist...well...at least the first time i heard that i need to go to a specialist...i thought it was cool...but if you really think deeper...it isnt really that cool anymore...cos your condition is beyond a general clinic doctor(er...i dunno how is it called...just made up a name for it...hehe...)

anyway...it started on the thursday during the march holidays...went to see my family doctor about my nose problem...some running nose and cough...so ya...as usual...my family doctor doesnt really have a lot of patients...so when i went there...there wasnt anyone else waiting...so i thought might as well talk to him more...keep him company you know....haha...my wishful thinking la...but who cares...

After settling the problem with my nose, i asked him something about my flight experience...

Me: Hey, I'm curious. How come during the descent of the plane, my ears become blocked and eventually they hurts?
Doctor: Well, do you study bio?
Me: Er...during secondary school...now no...
Doctor: Well, as you see, in order for our ear drum to vibrate, the pressure coming from the nose and the pressure entering the ear should be the same. However, in your case, since your nose was blocked, there is a pressure difference and the pressure starts to build up in your ear. So when the pressure gets too high, your ears will hurt.
Me: Oh...I see...

That was the end of my question...but i dunno what came over him...he started asking about whether my ears are still blocked after the flight and he checked my ears...This was what he said...

Doctor: I think there is rupture in both your ear drums, the right one having a bigger hole...( Lightning strikes...no la...just kidding...obviously not so dramatic la)

He suggested me to go to the polyclinic to get a referral letter to the specialist, which i did... but the doctor at the polyclinic gave me 2 weeks of antibiotics, which shocked the hell out of my mother...but i din eat the medication...got the confirmation from my family doctor saying that there is no need for that...

eh...i talked so long still havent touched on my specialist visit hor...oops...anyway...today i skipped my chem pract and PE to go for my visit...hehe...anyway...i waited for about 10 mins...then suddenly a pretty doctor( hmm....my luck isnt that bad...hehe) turned up and led me to the audio room where she checked my ear with the device the previous doctors used( this is the fourth time my ear experienced such device)...she commented that my ear passage or whatsoever is quite narrow...cant really see properly...so here comes high tech...i forgot the name of the device...it's a device that checks whether my ear drums are working normally...it's connected to a computer and it creates a vibrating sound when it's put into my ears...and apparently... my ear drums are not ruptured at all...and she went on to do a hearing test, which i passed it...after that she asked me to go out and wait for my turn to see the doctor( sad...good things doesnt last long...haha)

And indeed, it din...my turn came and it's a male doctor...sian..haha...anyway...this is the first doctor who din see my ear...instead he did something else...

he asked me to press my nose and blow air thru my ears...and according to him...it's supposed have a 'pop' sound...but mine din...my ears got blocked and was never cleared with a 'pop' sound... this happened next...

Doctor:Hmm...sit over there...i'm going to put a scope in you
Me: Er...what's a scope?
Doctor: ........(writing some notes in my medical record)
Me: (Doesnt like the sound of that)
Doctor: Ok...i'm going to put this camera into your nose to see the inside and also see the inside of your ear...
Me: ( DOESNT LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!) Er...does it hurt?
Doctor: Oh...no...it's just a little uncomfortable...

He lied...ok la...not really...maybe it's really my nose...anyway...it hurt on his first try...then he sprayed something into my nose...which i dunno what it is...but he said it is used to 'shrink my nose'...but after spraying...it din hurt le...just that it's kinda freaky...you can feel that tube-like camera moving as he pushes it further if you know what i mean...

(Ok...i'm ending soon...it's a long post..i know...) after the scope thingy, he told me that my ear drums are not ruptured. Rather, they are retracted. Due to the negative pressure in my ear canal, it sucked the ear drums in, giving the impression that the ear drums had holes. This is due to my nose problem, therefore he will try to cure my nose problem and hopefully cure my ear problem...and i'm supposed to go back to him in a month's time to see the results...

The last part of the discussion: What happens if it did not work?
Options:
1) Have a surgery on my nose to fix my nose bone as i'm born with somewhat a funny nose bone that keep causing my left side of my nose to be blocked at times
2) Have a surgery to cut a small hole in my ear drums( I'm assuming that is to release the negative pressure built up in my ear canal) and wait for the ear drums to heal

*Speechless... I think that's enough excitement for the day...ciao~

2006-02-19T15:48:00.000+08:00

only a few things to say...gotta get back to work soon...

chatting with sab currently...made me realise some stuff...i realised people forget things easily...which is a sad thing...i forgot most of my life at primary school...now i'm at jc...i fear that i will forget everything that has happened during sec school...

i really dont wish to forget...i dont want to forget my friends...i dont want to forget my experiences....i dont want to forget all the things that had happened in 4e...i dont want to forget 4e...i dont want to forget my feelings i had...

is it possible not to forget? i will find out eventually...sigh...

2006-02-17T22:53:00.000+08:00

hmm...somehow been blogging quite regularly these few days...cant be helped...interesting stuff are happening...must keep track...otherwise will forget...bad memory...cant be helped...

anyway...today climbing...as usual...school ended at 1115..waited for 5 hours and 15 mins for climbing to start...lame la...but still not that bad...was supposed to do PW with denise and the other 2 indian scholars...but ended up watching pokemon movie, about 5 or 6 or us crowd around denise's laptop to watch it...feels kinda strange how everything turned out...in the end....the only thing i did for PW was sending 2 emails to the indian scholars telling them what to do...pro la...haha...nest tues presenting le...still so slack...sian...

forget about PW... let's talk about climbing...as usual...the attendence taking was kinda horrid..the senior called out a lot of names...all never come...every week...the number of people going for climbing keep decreasing...very sad la.. but hai...dont really know those people who din turn up...so couldnt care less...

today revised match feet, match hands and sit in..they are climbing techniques btw...so it's ok if you dont understand them...sorry...haha..anyway...also did my level 1 climbing assessment today... passed it i guess...cos the coach said all passed for those who took the assessment...and he din stop our group at any point in time...maybe he was busy assessing another group...but heck...he din say anything that we did wrongly...which means we are correct...haha...who cares... but i kinda pity my partner when he was doing the belaying...cos my forearms were already somewhat out of strength...so i ended up falling for 4 times...and he as a belayer had to react to the falling...in the end...i din managed to reach to the top...kinda disappointed...but couldnt be helped...now as i'm typing...my left arm feels funny...real weak sia...must really try to find time to train up sia...sian...anyway...that's about it...oh ya...made some friends...like my partner who is called jingwen, from AHS...not a bad guy...looks kinda quiet...but still ok...he still speaks up...haha...oh well...i think that's about it for today...tomorrow there's a road run...sian...must wake up early...argh... ciao!~

2006-02-14T19:23:00.000+08:00

It's Valentine's Day!!!

woahoo! tj is cool...another be-yourself day...haha...though this morning need to swim...but nevertheless...it turned out to be a great day... people giving roses, chocs, sweets and stuff...

i received quite a lot of stuff from my friends as well as my current classmates...chocs, sweets, cookies(liwen and si jing if i did not remember wrongly...) and big thanks to si jing for giving me a plastic bag to put all these...haha...

and of course...i returned the gifts...one rose for almost every girl i know...my family girls, my class girls, ogl etc... lost count of how many roses i gave out anyway...haha...sadly...the e-club people were having so much trouble...really pity them sia...so stressed out...especially jasmine...kept saying sorry to me...i felt so bad... =(...forgot to buy her a rose sia...sian... so sorry jasmine... anyway... a bit sad la...no date...sigh...oh well...it is not fated and meant to be...so i will accept it...haha...ciao!~

2006-02-13T18:28:00.000+08:00

today went to watch 'I Not Stupid Too' with meiying, chris, adam and john...it's been quite a while since i watched a movie...but i doubt i can break the record set by john...mind you...he said that his last movie was watched when he was 5 years old! can you believe that?! oh god... anyway...the movie was great...touching and funny...

the movie started off with a question...which i thought was rather meaningful...'When was the last time you praised someone for what he has done?' i think as parents, they should always look on the good side of the children from time to time...not say everytime...cos you gotta correct him when he went wrong....but i think parents need to strike a balance between the two sides and not just one side...it will do the child no good...at all..

this comes to the point as to what i was facing...as seen in my last entry...my o'levels results...not say i'm boasting...but it was rather good...at least to me... almost everyone in my family gave some praises, my uncles, cousins, brother and even my father( who dont really speak much to me)....surprisingly...the only one who did not praise me...was my mother...strange? she is the closest person to me in the family...yet this happened.. it felt kinda weird...she din praise me in front of my uncles...rather...she sounded a bit condemning...saying that i did not read enough materials...that is why my english is so lousy...ok i admitted i did not read enough newspapers...fine...but was it really necessary to bring it up? also...part of it was that i dont really have a flair for english...cant really expect that much can you? i felt kinda angry...it felt as if the other subjects din matter at all...she only saw the worst in me...that feeling sux...perhaps that is why teenagers prefer talking to their friends rather than their parents...acceptance and admiration of their talents instead of their weaknesses...i think that is all we want...

anyway...my prob kinda solved...my mom told me during dinner that she is going to keep up her part of the deal...which was to agree to upgrade my cpu...so some things...i think we as children should do as well... read and interpret their actions instead of expecting them to say it out...sometimes...saying it out is even harder than doing it... so...moral of story...be more forgiving to the parents ba...they are too learning how to be parents at the same time...haha

oh ya...lastly...i felt that the movie was a great one...i really dont mind watching it again sia...haha... oh well...that's about it...ciao!~

2006-02-10T17:13:00.000+08:00

finally have something to blog about...blogging about a piece of paper i received today...come to think of it...it is rather amazing how a piece of paper can invoke so much emotions in people...haha... anyway...might have guessed it...it's the o'levels result slip...

This is what is shown on mine:

English Language B4
Combined Humanities A1
Mathematics A1
Add Mathematics A1
Physics A2
Chemistry A1
Biology A2
Higher Chinese A1

The wait was horrible...the girls got their results first....and i'm in the last 10 to receive the results..looking at people who received their results...shedding tears...you will wonder if they were for joy or sorrow, which added on to your anxiety...i suppose i looked horrible...my chinese teacher said i looked green when i was waiting... but...all went fine...at least for me...but still some others din have the same outcome...kinda sad for them too...cant really celebrate with the knowledge of some people who did not do well..kinda hard to console them too...sigh... oh well...that's about it...should be staying in tj for the two years...haha... Ciao!~

2006-01-22T01:22:00.000+08:00

ok...i'm kinda tired now...so i will try my best to keep this short...

dunno whether is it bad or good la...the weather not happy with us...keep raining and stopping, raining and stopping....was quite fun being drenched in the rain...dunno why...somewhat enjoying drenched...gives me a good feeling or something...but for the rest...i think it's very bad...cos we are bbqing...and it cant seem to stop raining...ended up we need to hold up some kind of plastic sheets to cover the pit and cook....terrible...but memorable...cos this is the first time i went to a rainy day bbq...not a bad experience...wahaha... also...got to know some ogls like julia, alvin, sin yee and alvin better...oh ya....still got chao kiat and his girlfriend...din know he had one...haha...not bad not bad..

ok...4 more mins to monday...the start of the full timetable...sian...it's gonna be busy from now on..sigh..well...my timetable wasnt that bad...as compared to nai niang and john's, who are taking triple sci...they are in serious busy times ahead...pity them...haha...oh well..nothing much to blog about...just that thinking back at orientation...wanting for lessons to start...and now lessons are starting...dont feel that good anymore..had some experience of lectures...not yet tutorials...but lectures...sure a BORE!! practically dozing off at several lectures...conditions were too great for sleeping...aircon, slience, inability to talk...boring...sian...when you put all these together...you get sleepy students...you cant blame them...oh well... cant slack le...i still got a full stack of straits times bought during the hols which i havent even flipped open them yet...oh god...i hope i really find some time to go read them...getting more sian as i blogged....losing the hang of it...or maybe i dont even have it in the first place...hai...missing sec school life...so relaxed back then...now...ok...stop sighing...or i will get too sian to go for school tomorrow...

hApPy NeW yEar!~!~

hmm... it's 2006 now...fast har...time sure flies... 2005 was sure a happening year...4 Excellence...a class to remember...it sure left an impact in my life...great class with people of great personalites...had our times of fun and trouble...but still..managed to pull thru...haha...hmm...if i were to recollect the events that happened with our class...it's gonna take forever...so let's just keep it in our hearts and remember it forever( or you can just say i'm lazy..whatever)

hmm...anyway...at the last few days of 2005...did some things ba...first...went for a new haircut...promised liwen, one of my daughters, that i would get a new haircut...so couldnt possibly go back on my word...so on tuesday, after tj briefing...almost my whole family went with me to a salon at bedok interchange, recommended by liwen...anyway...i was a big shot har? so many people went into a salon just to see my haircut...kinda stupid also...7 people went in and only me got a haircut? so adam also had his hair cut...haha...accompany me...but his hairstyle din change much...oh well..at least i wasnt alone...

oh ya...the second thing is that...i got a new daughter...hehe...it's jiaxin...wahah...we went out quite often lately...so might as well get her into our big family...so now there is one more elder sister to bully john...wahaha...i love this...hmm...maybe i should acknowledge more children...should let john suffer under more elder siblings...wahaha...

hmmm..third new thing i did...i actually went for countdown...well..not really ba...i mean i went to esplanade there with my family la...there wasnt any countdown...suddenly at about 2350 everyone stood up and went close to the railing surrounding the river...then spotlights and music kicked in....then played for a while....fireworks came out and we finally knew it was new year...not really the countdown i was expecting...but oh well...the fireworks were awesome...though i din really enjoyed myself...i was trying to film it in my phone...as a memory...sad case la..phone lags...kinda pathetic... but that's the best i could do...what to do...now have the urge to own a digital cam...sian....

ok la...the fireworks lasted for about 10 mins...we waited 3 to 4 hours sitting there waiting for it ok? it was worthwhile i suppose...but the wait was horrible...except the last band...the female singer was quite good...sang some good songs...like 'The Reason' and 'Heaven'... but the host and the first band called Vertigo Rush (have you guys heard of this band? apparently i havent and i think i know why)...not that good...i'm trying to be polite here... =P

anyway...after the fireworks...time to leave the place and head for home...which also means time to squeeze and push...typical Singaporeans...cant wait to reach home...ok la...cant blame them...the last train leaves city hall station at 1.30am...so push lor...it was horrible...oh ya...i finally got a rough idea how a refugee camp looked like...maybe you guys should see it too sometime...i forgot to take a photo...the cityhall station was swarmed with people...damn crowded...like refugees waiting to be rescued...haha... think i got too sianed le... it's now 4am btw...i'm still quite awake...must be the coffee that my godsister treated us to...i'm not the type of person who loves coffee btw...but since is her treat...must give face....haha...now must suffer the consquences...oh well...ok....after looking at the monitor for 2 mins...eyes are getting tired....wahahah...time to sleep...ciao!~

2005-12-26T22:15:00.000+08:00

ok...did quite a lot this xmas...but mostly is just walking around doing some window shopping...most exciting day will be on xmas itself ba...but i aint going to touch on that...i think that...pengsoon's blog had quite a detailed description...go visit his ba...haha... gonna touch on something more boring...but i think it's kinda essential for me ba...

been out the whole afternoon and evening...was celebrating liwen's birthday...din know something happened at home during that time until i overheard a phone conversation between my mom and my godma...it wasnt really a pleasant sight...been quite a while since i've seen my mom so angry...but from the conversation...got some idea as to what happened... it concerns my brother and my mom....kinda sad...my bro just got his first bookout this weekend...i dont think he returned to the camp happily judging from what happened...

well...after that phonecall...my mom chased me out of her room...kinda scary.. An angry mom isnt good to trifled with...i think most of us have experienced such situations ba...so i went to ask my godsis what happened when i was away... apparently it was regarding my bro ordering Times Magazine...well...he said it's for me...well...i myself dont really know what the contents is about...guess it's somewhat like Newsweek...not that sure either...anyway...my mom got angry...cos last time when my brother ordered Newsweek.. well...we din really read it...sometimes we din even bother to remove the plastic bag and just left it one side...well...this kinda angered my mom...it's not that cheap to buy that magazine and we are spending our parents' hard-earned money... scolded us several times for not making full use of the magazines...well...i think it's really our fault ba...felt kinda bad...

this time...she got kinda mad...for fear that the same thing will happen to the Times magazines...it costs 2 bucks for each issue according to my bro and it's sent every week btw... anyway... my godsis was around and she said that 2 bucks was still ok what...not that ex...but my mom thought otherwise i suppose...so they both were reasoning...my bro was around la...according to my godsis... my mom din really scold my bro directly...but hearing the reasoning between my godsis and mom...i think it's bad enough...my mom was saying,' If you dont read, dont buy. It is not that easy to earn money!2 bucks is enough to fill a stomach you know?'(somewhat i think that was what she said ba) well...me and my brother have never worked before...kinda sad har...anyway...my mom is working very hard to earn money...holding 2 jobs currently...and she isnt getting good sleep everyday...well...i couldnt blame her for saying those words...i mean...she is right and i dont think i can rebuke her in any way...sigh...now i feel so guilty these past few days...kinda spent quite a lot...i'm kinda relieved she din take it out on me...but still very guilty...=(... her birthday is kinda near...19 jan...now must start saving le...gotta get her a good present...at least make her happy for once...she's under too much stress lately i think...so anyone got good ideas to share on how to celebrate? think i'm kinda desperate now... =(

2005-12-23T23:55:00.000+08:00

hmm...havent blog for quite a while...got nothing to blog about...stayed home most of time...either watching anime or playing com game...what do you expect me to say? oh well...guess this is the life during hols..

anyway...today was better...kangsheng decided to organise an outing for the higher chinese students...so at least i got to go out...hehe... but the response...only half the class turned up...oh well.. what can we do?

we were supposed to meet at marina bay mrt station at 5...it's 5 kangsheng...your message stated 5...so you were late by 25 mins! oh ya...it's my first time at marina bay mrt station...kinda eerie...perhaps it's the emptiness...dunno...ben chow shared with us an experience..when he got out of the train...some people got out and got back into the train after getting out...strange har...

anyway...when we got out of the station...we were stopped...literally...by a promoter...not really a salesperson in my point of view....anyway...she was blabbering about the offers that 'Pin Xian' steamboat restaurant has to offer and was saying that there is a van to send you there...it's her job to promote...so we were kind people...stood there a while to listen to what she has to say...well...not that we could run away from her...she got quite a good offer...was saying that we had quite a number of people...so she said she would give us 2 bottles of champagne...i thought it was quite a good deal...since it would be quite a good experience with champagne...but when we told her we would consider and she walked away for a moment...ben said, ' she gave that offer even to 2 people'....ok...moral of story: 'Don't trust promoters or salesperson's words'

we moved on to the bus stop...and out came another promoter from the same restaurant...man they are desperate...it was a male promoter...much forceful...immediately went into asking, 'How many people in your group?' er...hello? we din say we want to go your restaurant and it's kinda rude to just cut in like that...but seeing them still standing outside the mrt station at about 8 plus...felt kinda sorry for them...tough job to hold i would say...

anyway...we went to 'Zhen Fa' Live Seafood Steamboat Restaurant in the end... long name har?...anywa.. we got 12 people in our group...so we were allocated 2 tables....kinda got split into 2 groups...one is the 4S girls and the rest in the other group...well...we aint that close with them...so kinda hard to mingle with them...but in this way.. everyone is happy..i guess... cant ask for more...

so we got our stuff and started cooking... the aluminium foil got charred very fast...dunno why...maybe because we left it without cooking anything for a few minutes...was thinking of changing...but guess it was laziness ba... so out come ingenious ways of cooking without getting the charred substance on our food...

i think it was liwen ba...not very sure who...suggested to use vege leaf(i cant remember the name of the vege) to cover over the charred aluminium and then cook our food on it...we started off with the frying of egg...din want the black thing to be on our egg...so gonna think of some way to prevent it...was kinda successful i guess...i din taste the egg...but from what they say...kinda got the flavour of the vege in the egg... 'Eh, like that eat healthy leh' was what liwen commented..oh well...what can we say?

anyway...from our first successful attempt...we started using it for cooking pork...actually there was another idea to cook...that was to use egg shells to act as the separater to prevent the food from being in direct contact with the aluminium...but wasnt that successful...so we kinda stuck with the vege method...

we ate for about 2 hours plus i guess...then everyone was full le...got quite a lot of leftovers i think...oops..guess we took too much...and suddenly ben asked me, ' Eh, this is a seafood restaurant right? What seafood did we eat?' we ate nothing that is of seafood kind...sadly the case...we were given 4 boxes of prawns...but we din claimed them...oh ya..in case you din know...those prawns are alive, jumping...you practically throw the alive prawns into hot water, instantaneously killing and cooking them...you imagine the scene ba...kinda cruel for me...we spared ourselves from such scene ba...doing a good deed leh...those prawns get to live longer...i suppose..

anyway...back to the leftovers...got quite a lot..i got kinda worried...cos i saw a notice stating,' For every 100g of uneaten food, there is an extra charge of $5' ok...not good...so we snuck away...pretty easy...nobody noticed...cos it was a full house at that point of time...lucky us...wahaha...

after that...we kinda left le ba...so i think that's all for today...long post har? oh well... ciao~

2005-12-16T20:32:00.000+08:00

today started off great...the weather was fine...sunny...no rain clouds...unlike last week...so i thought finally it would be a great day to have fun...met up meiying, liwen, john, adam and crystal at white sands mac...some of them were having breakfast...so we kinda sticked around in the mac...chatting and stuff...then we talked about the posting for the pae that will be out today( sorry, sidetracked a bit...will get to the main point soon)...so since we were out...no way we could access to the com and the internet...so we got a friend to help...wahaha...thanks a lot man, azri! always there to lend a helping hand...so we all got our posting results from our dear friend...hehe...er...if you want to know the posting of them...ask them yourself...dont think they want me to publicize over here...so ya...

anyway...let's get to the main point...i am so so so so so fed-up with the taxis in singapore...for god's sake..for the first time in my life...we cant get a taxi after 1 hour plus of moving around...desperately looking out for empty taxis...oh i forgot...why we need a taxi...ya..erm...christopher went to pasic ris park and found out that there were no foller blading rental there...ok...i admit it's my fault...din check properly...and ended up asking my 'family' to make a wasted trip to pasir ris...then ended up we need to get to east coast to blade...so so sorry...gomenasai( hope correct spelling..correct me if i'm wrong... XD)

ok...i'm sidetracking again...ya...the taxis...irritating...the taxis were:

Hired( ok nvm...i dont blame them...cant expect them to chase down their passengers and pick us up)
On call( li hai la...got money to call taxi...big deal la...we also call right...in the end...we got fed up..that's why...sigh...oh well)
Last but not least...this one i must complain sia... they are 'For hire'...ya...like real...we give them business...they dont want lor..see thru us like pieces of invisible beings...one of them said on call...whatever lor...if you dont want our business...just say it...no need to lie one... hate them!

i'm blabbering...i apologize...but got quite frustrated with them....i remembered vaguely that there was some complaints by taxi drivers on tv long time ago saying that now there are more taxis in competition...very hard to get business now...then please....explain such a phenomenon to me...i'm baffled....there is a saying that goes,'Beggers cannot be choosers'...well...personally i think that taxi drivers cannot be choosers either...i'm not insulting them as beggers or whatsoever...but i mean..there are soo many taxi companies now...and you still choose your passengers...how are you going to survive man?

Argh...aint going to spend anymore time to complain...waste my breath and time only...anyway...let's get back to what we did for the day....wasted too much time in getting to east coast...so only started blading at about 1...this time...john's the first timer...wahah...but he's kinda good...for a first timer...din fall much and din get much injuries either...well...kinda expected considering he's supposed to be the smartest boy in class...sigh...thought he would be caught off guard for once...oh well...what else can we do...

at about 2 plus 3...chris joined us at east coast...after getting his appeal form from mj..then john changed out of skates to bike....truthfully...his biking skills are lousy...but his excuse was saying that his skills was rusty le...last time cycling was in sec 1...but seriously i thought cycling cant get rusty one? hmm...who knows...sigh...thought could have gotten unscathed for the first time...but sadly...lost my concentration at the very last hour...got too tired....ended up fell down twice consecutively...now got a injury at my knee... :'(...oh well...meiying fell down too...her injury was worse i think...guess all of us do fall down at some times in life...the most important thing is to recover from the fall and stand back up stronger than ever...(sorry..i got philosophic...but dun really know how to end off..so ya)...anyway...we headed back home after blading lor...it was getting late...sigh...that ends off our fun day...and now i'm broke...sigh...

2005-12-10T15:59:00.000+08:00

yesterday went roller blading with adam, meiying and liwen..started off with the day having stupid rain...heavy somemore...because of the rain....crystal's mom asked her not to go...so ended up with the four of us having fun...

stayed at siglap centre mac for about half an hour...with meiying and adam having breakfast and talking about what to do now with the rain pouring outside...then we thought of going to marina to play pool...so we headed to the opposite side in hope to take bus 14...then came pengsoon's message asking if we were at the bus stop...i finally came to realisation as to his father's paint shop was nearby...so we headed to his father's shop where he was working...he seemed bored...so we crapped around...hai...cant get him to have fun with us...since he's working...feel sorry for him... =(

anyway....after crapping...we went to 7-11...shopped a bit...and came out, realising that the rain kinda stopped...so might as well...we resumed our previous plan and headed to east coast...got a good deal for blading...3 hours for 6 bucks...

it was better than the first time i bladed...first time i ended up with an injury in less than an hour...this time....not that bad la...though still a bit unstable and slow....but made some good progress as compared to last time...cannot blame right...second time only leh...what's more...i'm kinda tall...c.g. higher right...easier to fall...do your phy!

still had some falls la...but none of them were 'fatal'...as for liwen...this is her first time blading...she did much better than my first time...she had some falls...but was quite stable overall...according to adam...i dunno how to see such things...but she changed to bike after first hour...became the 'traffic police'for the three of us to inform us of incoming traffic...haha...

anyway...after liwen changed to bike...i became the only amateur....was so slow and unstable as compared to adam and meiying...apparently they had much more experience than i do...humph! luckily still got liwen to accompany behind...thanks wor!~ wahaha..

after blading...we went to mac to have lunch and after that....we took a taxi and headed down to marina to play pool....adam wasnt having much luck...though he was supposed to be the most skilled among us...but he kept losing his games...the balls simply hated him....cant seem to go in...haha...anyway...it was getting late when we finished playing...so we headed back home...

I'm so gonna master roller blading at the end of hols! so anyone free next week for blading....wahahahah...

Should I, or should I not? That has been the question for the past few days.. I thought i already decided...but now....i think i'm having doubts now...i'm so confused...argh...

Maybe i'm just thinking too much...or maybe i shouldnt be even thinking of such things....maybe i'm just bored...or maybe i had too much time to spare...but now...i think i'm running out of time...if i don't decide soon...there wont be a second chance...

sian....think i'm crapping....oh well...ciao~

The very firsts...

Finally my blog has been created...ok...so this is the first post...Hmm...what should i write...

Alright...erm...the class chalet...right... it started from tue afternoon till fri morning... the chalet was somewhere at changi village there....was a 2-storey chalet with:

2 rooms ,
2 toliets,
1 kitchen
1 living room(like obivous) and
1 balcony facing the sea(kinda cool har?)

Some of us reached there at about 4 and we started unpacking our stuff...Adam brought his ps2 and soccer ball...Fahmi brought some dvds... We din do much on the first day...just finding our own entertainment...some of the girls decided to cook dinner for the group...jaz came around with a little pasta and soy sauce asking people to taste it...i dont think i need to tell you how it tasted like... i missed the preparing of the sauce for the pasta as i went out to tampines with meiying, chris and adam to get some supplies.

When we came back...dinner was prepared...we ate the pasta with the sauce and some scrambled eggs...it was ok la...at least it was edible...so i din really care that much...

I dunno what came over me...but that day i decided to stay up with liwen to wait for sunrise...so we went to the balcony and sat there to chat..chatted for about 2 to 3 hours...it was reaching about 3 plus by then...we got kinda hungry and came down to the living room to cook some cup noodles...after the noodles...we went back up to the balcony and found karl sitting there....he said he couldnt sleep..the three of us sat there..listening to the music from karl's phone...but i was getting tired...so at about 4.30am...i went back to the room to sleep..half an hour later...liwen came in too...leaving karl sitting at the balcony...ya...he succeeded in staying up..but sadly the case....there was no sunrise to be watched...sorry karl...we din know...=(

i din catch much sleep that night...woke up at about 7...the room was so freaking cold...some of the boys stayed until 7 in the morning and then went to sleep...they are the pros...haha..anyway... adam woke up too...he din get much sleep either...with me and liwen walking in and out and some of the boys coming to check on them...haha...meiying also woke up...so the three of us sat in the living room to play the ps2...we played some fighting game la...couldnt get the name right...but better not post it...we played until 10 plus 11...when the pros like keith, ryan and james woke up from their sleep...

me, adam, liwen and meiying...we went to tamp in the afternoon to have our lunch and pick some people up to go to the chalet...then we went back to the chalet...was mingling around and finding our own entertainment...oh ya...i finally learned how to play bridge...haha...hmm...what else did we do on wed? ..... oh well...not thinking straight now...let's move on

On thurs...woke up in the morning...some of us started preparing water bombs to be played in the afternoon...man...it was hard work....tying those water bombs...some of us hurt our fingers...

Anyway, crystal and yvonne arrived at the chalet at about 12...we talked a little and i headed for tamp to meet with my cousins and brother to celebrate my cousin, xinyi and my brother's birthday....had lunch at fish & co...and then met pengsoon at the tamp interchange and headed back for chalet...

At about 4 plus...we headed down to the beach to play water bombs...it finished kinda fast...faster than we thought it would...so we started playing at the beach instead...we walked barefooted to the other end of the beach...some of them went back earlier...then me, adam, pengsoon, crystal and yvonne were playing at the beach...we started skipping stones, kicking water...then adam and i went to challenge each other to sit at the beach to withstand the waves that were coming our way...it was quite fun...until when there were 2 boats that came together in opposite directions....2 simultaneous waves hit us...leaving us totally drenched...anyway....we headed back to the chalet after that... it was already 5 plus then...the bbq started...me and adam took a quick bath and went down to help out...

We invited some teachers to come down...Mr Chooi came down...helping us with the cooking and even helped us buy a bag of charcoal...thanks a lot cher...though i dont think he will be reading this blog...but who cares...haha...then ms neo came down...with her dog Chubby...it is so cute...pity i forgot to take a picture of it...sian...oh well...then later ms lela dropped by...we were excited to see her...i mean she and mr oh(scandal) went to brunei for some exchange program and missed our grad night...so it had been quite some time since we saw her...we were watching the movie 'The Exocism of Emily Rose'...i think most of us enjoyed the movie...anyway...mr oh only came in at about 11...that guy...don't say him le...everytime so busy one....then neglect us.. so horrible...haha...wanted to keep him at the chalet as a punishment...but he said that he got work and meeting tomorrow...with ms lela backing him up...so no choice but to let him...sian..haha..oh well...think that's about it... so much for a first post...haha...
