whoo

2008-04-19T02:40:00.001-07:00

whoo im not blogging here anymore.
who can find my new site first?

riewtnregiftdodrowspresotdmco.

elite no more?

2008-04-08T04:23:00.000-07:00

Had our five stations today, and i got 20 points as of now..
Might not be excellent, but so-so i guess.

I just have to get a C for 2.4 (below 13 min) to get a gold i think.

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

I suddenly started to cough/sneeze after our lunch.
Omg, what's happening to me.

Sorry to anyone if i spread any germs :X
(im okay now though, so it shud just be temp)

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

Our C div lost against SJI 3-2 today, so they got 3rd.

I would be supersuper happy if they made it to the finals, but if they tried their best, i've got nothing to say, but keep improving ^^

Does this mean we lose our status as an elite ep3?
Maybe.

Doesnt matter to me though.

Being a non-elite ep3 based on our results of one year doesnt say much...

We can always prove ourselves again.

JY guys!

screwed up maths...

2008-04-03T02:07:00.000-07:00

I screwed up maths.. real... bad.

This is seriously the first time, where i believe i will do so badly.
And i mean upon 40, less than 10.

I let you down, Mr Tan.
I let my parents down.
I let my class down.
I let my tuition teacher down.
I let myself down.

I confess that i perhaps am not so familiar with all the different things to memorise...

This chapter is quite long with quite a lot of things to remember and its competition period too... But i should have done better, studied better, have done better.

And when i started to see some stuff that looked familiar, but i didnt know how to do, there was some mental block and i was jittery i guess..

I really really hope that there will be a retest.. I would be so grateful.

I believe i should, and i CAN do better.

Please.

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

On a much lighter note,

Physics was quite funny today.
Mrs Chan was going through the Physics worksheet, so she said "Okay, Last Step."

And apparently some people heard "class stand" and actually stood up.

xP

It was quite funny, like some people randomly standing up during lesson.
Then Mrs Chan was like "These are the people who sleep during lesson, and only wake up when they hear "class stand""

LOL.

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

We lost to SJI on monday, so we're 4th.
I cant say im happy, but i think our players played well.
We were so close!

Don't worry and don't be disheartened, we were facing a sec four team, and we will be back next year a STRONGER FORCE.

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

Please.
Maths.
5% in the overall.
Ohmygod.

Earth Hour

2008-03-29T06:24:00.000-07:00

& so , Earth hour is over.
I must confess i didnt really enjoy it and i didnt stay in my computer room for the whole hour (lights and fans were turned off!) , but i did stay in for quite some time :)

The first thing i did once it was over : change my shirt.

Whoo. I sweated like shit.
Singapore's humid weather can seriously kill.

At least there was still some light from the other rooms, so i wasnt exactly in total darkness.

So i just spent most of the hour playing with my cube and messing with my guitar.

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

This is a very good learning experience.
If you guys joined this too, i'm sure you would have 'suffered' to some extent.
Be it lack of light or lack of wind.

Imagine.
If we do not safe our environment, in the future, our coal and other resources might run out, and then every day, every minute, every second will be like this one hour.

So how?
Instead of just doing it for an hour every year, let's conserve and save electricity and resources whenever we can.

This event is something like Live Earth, in the sense that it is for publicity.
Just that Live Earth harmed the environment (i enjoyed it though)

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

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DO YOUR PART.

updateeeee

2008-03-28T21:49:00.000-07:00

Must update or my blog will die.
Lol.

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

So to be truthful, I'm still (quite) in the holiday mood.
1st week , thurs we had old newspapers collection, friday was good friday.
This week, Wednesday was a holiday.
Next tuesday, it's projects day.

But sadly, next week, our tests are coming in.

How?

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

Went to Dom's house on Wednesday after training to do pday.
I wouldnt say we accomplished much, but at least we got started and, it was fun.

Too bad i couldnt go crayfishing with them.
Next time i guess..

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

Lost 2-0,2-0 to josh and nickheng during training yest.
Can say they're my greatest competitors now.

Was quite disappointed, but i think what alex said was quite true.
The score doesnt matter.
Winning not neccessarily = fruitful.
Learning = fruitful.

Well i guess i did learn something...

Was losing the 2nd set to josh 9-1 , but i fought back hard and got a 9-3 (or 4, cant remember).
Those few points, i really hit hard and played my best.

Coach, who was standing outside the court, commented that that was how i should play, but i started too late.

Well, maybe this match awakened the "force" in me.

Whack harder, boy!

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

I think my viewership is really bad.

Perhaps not many people know i'm back to blogging?

Tag, people, tag!

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

Received an email from jason recently, recommending this site
www2.messengerplayer.com

quite useful, i guess.
add music@messengerplayer.com on msn and search!

quite useful, i guess, as esnips is down (as in, cant download).

think its quite successful, as it was down due to excessive server traffic some time ago xP

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

Have always been using blogger, but a conversation with spencer made me think :
hmm, maybe i should try livejournal or wordpress.

Who knows? We'll see.

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

CIP

2008-03-21T19:41:00.001-07:00

CIP was really really fun!

Kaiyuan, Chiehloong, Dom, Tim and I were together doing some old block in Taman Jurong.

We decided to start from the top storey, where one guy offered to buy the newspapers from us.
He even gave a namecard. "Ah Lim." o.o

Then we saw two houses with red paint splashed over the door. Loansharks?
One even have china women coming out. 0.0

Then there was the "OLLDEEEEEEE NEWSPAPERSSSSSSS! " man
xP
Tim and i laughed like hell.

and maybe i shall post a pict soon.

last year a TJ cactus was taller than me.
This year, another TJ cactus is taller than me again =.=

lost.. 1 .. point.

2008-03-19T05:07:00.000-07:00

I lost ...
.
.
.

One..
.
.
.
point.

xP

We played SAS today and we won 5-0.
I must say that some of their players are not bad though.

Then RI won SJI, so that leaves us to fight with SJI.
If we win SJI, we're third.
If we lose, we're fourth.

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

Mr Hon was super funny today.
During assembly this CSE guy went up to the mike and said the usual stuff..

"Good morning chairman, Mr Hon and fellow schoolmates. I am Kah How from ---

"(Mr Hon) Kala?"

O.O

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

Tomorrow's CIP!
Hopefully it'll be fun xP

Then...

CABALCABALCABALCABALCABALCABALCABAL :)

just a short post

2008-03-18T06:01:00.000-07:00

Just a short post tonight, as i have got some work to do and some tv to watch xP

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

So we lost 4-1 to RI on Monday.
I played the captain, so to be truthful i did not really expect to win, though i think i could have played better.
I wanna train up and be sure i'm ready for next year.

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

Miss Murder

2008-03-16T07:51:00.000-07:00

Miss Murderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Lol played this song on GH3 at mark's house. Thought it was quite nice.

But Muse still rocks my socks.
You like MCR?
Then you must thank MUSE.
Thanks to MUSE ,MCR were the first american band to play at the Wembley.

Gerard from MCR asks you "Are you ready for Muse? Are you ready for f*cking Muse?"

xP

MCR is nice too.
Don't get me wrong.

But

Muse is better (for me) =D

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

So fast, our holiday is over =.=

Another 10 weeks of shit and then we have our JUNE HOLIDAYS =DD

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

InterSchool starts tomorrow, and we're up against RI.

I seriously dont know if its good or bad.
I'm DEFINITELY HAPPY im in the team.
I'm happy(not sure) that I get to miss lessons.
I'm happy(not!) that I have to let my table collapse under the immense weight of my homework + ketchup work.

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

So wow!~

Tomorrow's the first day of school , so excited.

Its gonna be so interesting so I must sleep now lest I fall asleep tomorrow and miss out on the fun. =D

Timtam.

Revival.

2008-03-14T04:34:00.000-07:00

Has been a longlonglonglonglonglonglonglonglonglonglong time since i last blogged.

So to prevent it from rotting, i shall revive it.

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

We had our class gathering yesterday!
Although the weather and failure of most teachers to turn up was a letdown, we had lots of fun =D

We played table tennis, pool, pushed people into the pool (:D) and played Wii and Xbox 360.
Wow.
Seriously, i would like another gathering =P

And CL brought his GH3!
I couldnt find Knights of Cydonia, and there were no real guitar controllers, but it was really fun.
I think i wanna get one too.

I almost got a nice video of someone too.
Pfft.
If only my finger wasnt blocking the darned camera.

And of course, many thanks to mark for hosting this gathering!

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

So coach announced the final 7 today.

Out of Josh, Nicheng, Yuanhao and I, all but 1 will make it into the team.

And we 3 sec 3s did it =D

Its so fast, really.

In two days time, we're gonna play RI.

Lemme share a vid here:

So Coach Zainal was losing 8-3, but he made a comeback to win!

I guess this shows us that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. =D

All the best to our C Div team too!

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

Too bad we cannot download from esnips anymore;

"Hyper Music" by MUSE
-got a really nice riff!

"Futurism" by MUSE
- love the first part. badass riff.

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

So our holiday is ending.
Gotta do my ihe now,

Cya all!

CLOCKTOWER.

2008-01-27T06:45:00.000-08:00

Heh, i guess i must sleep soon, so just a short post here.

Well, this week the main interesting thing was..

CLOCKTOWER xP

A few of us got wind that the clocktower was open so we went up.
Was quite cool. The inside looks like a lighthouse, with the curly stairs.

Then at the top of the stairs can go out to the balcony.
Even higher is the dome
xP

Second time we went up, someone shouted :"Admin coming!"
So we all zao ...

Quite cool!
First time in my 2+ years that i've been up.

____________________________

Played squash the first time this week just now...
Have missed one whole week of training cos of the bloody flu.
Hope i can still get into team bah.

Tennis is fun! xP
Watch the open then suddenly wanna play.

_____________________________

Lastly, enjoy this vid!
Super zhai guitarist.

SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE!

WE'RE BROTHERS FOREVER =D

2008-01-21T04:05:00.000-08:00

WE'RE BROTHERS FOREVER

I am your Brother
Your Bestfriend 4ever
Singing the songs
The music that you like

We're brothers til the end of time
Together or 4ever til the end of time

I am your Brother
Your Bestfriend 4ever
Singing the songs
The music that you like

We're brothers til the end of time
Together or not you're always in my heart
Your hurting feelings
In you will reign no more
"I love you, Brother!"

This song owns.

busy + sick = !!

2008-01-21T02:13:00.000-08:00

Wow.
Looks like i didnt manage to really keep my blog really alive.

Been really busy lately..
And the whole class is starting to get ill and we have got a maths test on thurs!
I dont think we can complete the whole chapter...

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Mr Gilbert.

On a random note, many people say that our education system is one of the best in the world.
Perhaps, but i do feel that it is too stressful.

Its only the fourth week and our tests are starting!
Its not only our school!
Even my brother and cousins are taking a/some test(s) this week!

Yes, yes. Fourth week seems like quite a long time passed, but actually it is not.
The first week, we didnt really learn anything, so it is actually just three weeks.

And i hear that HongKong has higher stress levels.
o.o

ohmygawd.

hectic.

2008-01-11T22:12:00.000-08:00

And so, the first full week is over.

What a tiring week.
Omg.

All the work starts coming in already.

At least there is recess and table tennis with dom, tim, lum, nictan, pax, ky :P

15km a week.

2008-01-04T18:41:00.000-08:00

So we had our first training for the year yesterday.

"Let's start with 10 rounds today. We must do 15km a week."

T.T
15km a week, three days a week.
Which equals to 5 km a day (12+ rounds)

Omg.

If slowly increase can lah, but suddenly..

Anyway we didnt do the 10 rounds.
We were all waiting at terraces for coach to come, and i had an interesting conversation with alex.

"Hey alex. What god do you pray to?"
"o.o"
"I introduce you to a god. Pray to the lightning god."

*little while after*

*big raindrops fall*

OMG.
So cool ><><><

2008 .

2008-01-03T05:17:00.000-08:00

bye 2007, hello 2008.

How time flies! So fast, 2008 liao!

New year, new(not so) class, new life(as in, new timetable which makes me stay back till 3+ , 4 on two days) and NEW BLOG.

I've decided on something in the grunge theme, as i received a grunge handphone pouch(from QIFAN) and a grunge pencilcase(from my cousin, which happens to be of the same design), and i thought : Grunge is quite nice! Why not use a grunge skin for my blog?

Talking about qifan, we have the same deodorant. xP
Black + Gold! xPP
So coincidental~ :D

Many of you guys have alr covered the past years happenings, so shall not talk too much;
But this one must mention - silver for squash =DD
Well, some might say silver so what?
I think its a great achievement.

And not to forget 2G~
All the class chalets, broken fan, bird shit, blah blah.
<3 New year, must have resolutions. I dun really have resolutions, just some stuff which i want to do xP
- catch MUSE live!
- buy MUSE's album if it comes out this year
- get into the squash B DIV (and win something :PP)
- get good results (w/o mugging)

Btw, talking about MUSE, their song Starlight is on some rock hits CD~
Rock on!

Oh, anyway, i went down the Australia this hol :P
Will probably post some pictures next time.
Went to Perth drove all the way down to Albany and drove all the way back.
Nice.

Lastly, thanks to huiyao for the pencil thingy he bought back from AFRICA! (never thought it was tourist-able..)

Good year ahead! (i hope..)
