I just seriously hate ppl with no sense of responsibility, and those who criticise others who HAVE it. As in, for that matter, it just wasnt my damn bloody duty to inform you how to reach e location, and I think its yr mama's job to do that, but since Im not yr mama, consider me helpful cos I took the extra mile to tell you. And if yr fuking dad doesnt wanna drive you there, why blame me if we ever not reach there in time?!?! I alr told you that I am NOT sure how to get there but I have a little insight as to where that place is. So instead of saying "okay, sure", why sprew foul language and talk as if Im yr fuking tour guide and I have a damn damn heavy responsibility to get you there. Its a "Go there yourself kinda thing" so I dont expect myself to hold yr hand and bring you there, only to fear hearing you wail like a bitch when I go on e wrong route. C'mon, go there yourself if you are so fuking smart, (and of course you really are fuking smart, close to GPA 4.0 and I CANT measure myself next to you). But at least I hv some sense of shame and I know who's doing the REAL JOB! Start to appreciate those ard you and stop being a snob, otherwise I'll be waiting to watch you fall, fuker.

Sorry for those vulgar language but it seriously pisses me off with ppl like these.

Had CAEM 2 exam a few days, when all e others are alr resting. Super killer ar. I just stared and stared at the qns and went blank. Seriously, I will count my blessings should I pass this paper. Oh and erm, Mr O'Connor is going back to Princeton le. He has sorta finished his holiday "job" in Singapore and yeah, it certainly was an enjoyable 1 year with him. He's my first ang moh teacher and a v v patient one, NEVER scolds us before. Well he likes to swim and since the olypmics just ended with phelps getting 8 golds, we all sorta linked these 2 Americans together, calling him the phelps of ngee ann, HAHAHA. I almost wanted to draw 8 Gold medals on e card to remind him that the card was given on the year phelps got 8 golds. Wish him all the best in Princeton and the years ahead. =)

Went to play pool with kenneth ystd. On the way to the pool shop at AMK, saw jonatons! Hahaha, and I told him I was going to play pool so he said next time if want go play pool ask him.Wheee, means got additional pool buddy le.Hahaha. And my pool was damn damn lousy ystd, though I got a few nice jump shots. Hehehe. But I learnt where to apply my strength to ystd. It seems that the last few pool session, I didnt really know how to transfer my strength to the ball, but now I know how to. =)

Bought a Butterfly Table Tennis bat at Mustafa after the pool session. Errrr, recently, there is a table tennis frenzy going on between me, teo huei, jowell, jen kiat and daniel. Hahahaha. We just like to play table tennis after our briefing sessions and its damn addictive. Doubles, Singles, wahahaha, super nice to play. Therefore, I've invested in a Table Tennis bat that I hope will last me through at least 6 months?! Yeah and Im gonna give my badminton racket a "make-up" session too, since the handle is super super dirty.

Loads of activities coming up. This sat hv smth on at St Nicks, the year 3 fun olympics, Peer tutoring sessions. Whooo, seriously crazy, but that's how 7 weeks of holidays are meant to be. =)

Just another 1 more paper to go on monday but somehow I feel I've finished my whole exams, well since monday's paper is an extra module kinda thing so I dont really feel important about it. But still, it will do good to help me get into NUS so, yeah, I hope I end up with a B for it. =)

Ystd went to the CAGE with eugene,jiaw,eric,donny,markus,trey,wei jian, razin, zul and his 2 friends, ajeet and his friend alwin, yue hao, guan yu, zean, rosiman, adam, ying chao and his friend. Lol. 21 people for 4 hrs of soccer. And for my first game jiaw kept saying I nv run. Aiyoh, few days nv slp le damn tired mah, v breathless. lol. Then took a rest, played. Took a rest again, played. There were quite some pretty girls next to our pitch, I think its SMU girls but they were wearing their JC PE shirts to play. Hahahaha. I tricked ajeet tt there was a pretty indian girl on the next pitch. LOL. Bathed and talked alot of lame jokes with Tuan Jiaw. He told me I can become a joker in future. Guess what I said,if Im a joker, he's batman, cos he can catch all my jokes. Oh gosh, I know its damn lame too. =P Had dinner at old airport road and then me and eugene accompanied tuan jiaw to esplanade then to some place at city hall to look for his, errrr forgot the name le, but its some small small small little guitar.

Today went for fun olympics napfa briefing cos Im 1 of the game masters involved. Then played table tennis. Wahahahah, today I learned how to surf, of course without the spin lar. LOL. But damn addictive, super duper addictive. I think Im gonna book the table tennis court at TPY central CC every week and drag my bro along to play with me, since catholic high peeps are also somehow into table tennis too. HAHAHAHAHA...

So many sports I wanna play now after watching olympics. Erm, athletics is what I've done competitively since pri sch for 3 yrs so I know the rules and methods for training. In other words, a little boring. Soccer, errr...okay lar, but getting a little bored. Now the hotter sports in my mind are TABLE TENNIS, BADMINTON and....SWIMMING!!! HAHAHA. Since hols are here, I think Im gonna incorporate jogging, swimming, badminton, table tennis and soccer into my schedule. Wah, cant wait to play all of them man.

Wah sian, cant sleep.

Took a 2 hr nap in e afternoon and since I have maths exams tmr, of course do abit of maths papers 1st then slp. Who knows, doing it made me more awake then ever!! So now,I have a sleepy mood but an awake brain, which made me toss and turn around bed for like 1.5 hr?! Yeah. Thus, I decided to come online and surf the net for a while, continue with some reading of my notes then maybe sleeping when my brain feels very very sleepy. I read somewhere, that its better to sleep when your brain feels v sleepy and tired. That way when you are awake you will feel more refreshed and charged, like the theory of charing a battery. Dunno how true is it, but Im quite certain I can last till 6 in the morning. Maybe I wont sleep and just chiong to sch for exams after tt. Hmmmmm....

Manutd dawing 1-1 with Newcastle, LIU XIANG WITHDRAWING FROM THE HEATS, Gabriel Abonglahor scoring 3 goals in 7 minutes. Definitely shocking news from Sportscentre today.

Wah mum and dad are going on more and more hols. During the dec 07 family trip to Shanghai, she said that it would quite long later for our family to go travelling again. Not that we cant afford, but because of our schedules. Then, mum said that there is a "free loop" in June where our whole family can go for a 1 week trip to Japan. So we went. During the trip, she said the same thing as what she mentioned in Shanghai. Now, guess what, she and dad are going to Beijing in Nov, without me and my bro. Just ystd, she said that they would also be going to Genting too, 2 weeks later. When I asked her how much was the air tickets and stuff, she just said " ohr $XXXX lo, quite cheap leh". *Roll my eyes*. Wah had I been "booked" onto the flight together with them to Beijing too, this would be the 3rd time Im going to China in a year. By calculation, I have already spent 1.75 mths, close to 2 mths, overseas this year, if I take in my Dec trip during Christmas. Anyway, I told my mum to buy the "Fu-Wa" mascots of the Olympics cos I think they look great and nice as compared to any other mascots I have seen. =)

Okay, going to "discharge" my brain le. Hahaha.

Congrats to the singapore team for making it through to get a medal after 48 long years.

Well, watched the match ystd but Singapore's performance wasnt really that good, considering the scary losses at the start. I have to say it'd boiled down to luck and skills. Luck was certainly standing on the side of the lions team as we had come so so so close to deuce? At that kind of situations, it is very very pressurising as whoever gets the next 2 wins. So, when we finally won, its luck, esp. the last ball when the korean player sort of mis-surfed the ball?! And skill because of the ability to handle the pressure. Li jiawei wasnt good in her singles game, so much offensive for nothing. I think the koreans have the defensive capability, but their attacks are quite useless. On the other end, singapore looks a little complacent in their attacks, smacking so hard and with quite a number of times getting the ball out. But we still prevailed in the end.

I have nothing against foreign players, of course I would prefer native singaporeans. But its their misperformance that pisses me off, paying them tt much, providing so much incentives and in the end we get nth?! People say why worry, give them more time lar. But they are world class players, dont tell me they need more time to condition up?! If that's the case, then we might as well get our native singaporeans, who can use the time to condition up to good use too. But since they have finally delivered, most of the credits to 1 player, Feng TW, I have nth to moan about.

Phelps for another 2 more!!

Okay, just about 30 mins ago, I heard this small argument a few units down my house. It was this chinese man who was looking for his employer, I suppose, to get back payment for wages they owned him for quite a period of time. He came a few nights ago and waited from 7 to like 1am? Yeah, he just sat there quietly waiting for the owner to come back. And those bloody idiots didnt ans his call nor open the door when he went up knocking on their doors. This got him damn fustrated and he just went into a rage and went knocking at the door just now. The mother, I suppose, came out and argued with him. They sorta owned him 680 dollars in wages. They claimed they sent it to the bank account but he didnt receive it. So they argued and the man is now waiting at the void deck downstairs for the employer to turn up.

Well, I deduce those people might be bankrupt, because to be able to own a mansionette in toa payoh, you have to be quite, erm rich. Im not saying Im damn bloody rich, but selling my unit at the current market price can get me a condo if you add a few hundred dollars more to it. So cant pay 680?! Impossible, unless bankrupt.

Simply to put it, I HATE people who owe others money. Money is not important , health is, some might say. But no money, how to buy food?! Before you even can take care of your health, you would'nt need to, if you get what I mean, i.e. to heaven. So I NEVER start the borrowing habit. No borrow, no oweing. Spend within your means. I read in The New Paper today that a lawyer absconded with his clients' money and I think this is happening too often. Lawyers, the ones who argue the best among the society, have no ethics and moral values? So I dont see a person by what qualifications they achieve, but by what kind of EDUCATION they receive. EDUCATION does not mean a doctorate degree. Its the MORAL EDUCATION and willingness to apply what you have learnt INTO HELPING SOCIETY. That is the true purpose and cycle of education.

That poor man is still waiting downstairs and its past midnight now. He's been doing it for a few nights. I know the pain and loneliness in waiting alone, with no aim. Seriously pity that man. Haiz.

Today I knew 1 thing that top leaders in every industry has, which others dont possess. The ability to think critically. For only the empty vessels make the most noise. Sometimes people are shrouded by things and their heart, that their brains do not come into any use. These are the ones who will be the followers, because the leaders will make use of their hearts to bring about a change in their mindset. Read, but read CRITICALLY! Never be lead by the nose, rather, control your thinking and be CLEAR-MINDED!

OLYMPICS!!!!

Yeah that's my recent craze, aside from the crazy cramping of DEL into my brain.

The swimming competitions were damn cool. PHELPS!!! 3 Golds as of now. For the 4X100m relay, its was exhilirating. The closeness of the 2 teams, the States and the French. Damn close. Had the French came a little closer, no more 8 golds for phelps. And 5 of the teams broke the world record!! Amazing. And another of Phelps's event, he was like 1 bodylength ahead of the others. Pure OWNAGE!! Waiting to see the athletics events.

Susilo sucked for his match. Yes it may the n0.2 in the world, but I hoped for a better performance rather than errors all over. Tao Li, okay la, no comments, she should have came in a little faster. Quah Ting Wen looked good for her heats on national day, coming in second for the medley.But she looked tired for the last 50m stretch. Lynette Lim was okay too, actually not bad le. And people have been saying Tao Li is the 5th fastest in the world?! Haha, the people who commented it surely are JOKERS!! Think again everyone. Its a super insult to your intelligence. To be more clear, its 5th fastest in the EVENT, not WORLD!!! She didnt make it through the heats in today's 200m butterfly so does it still make her the 5th fastest in the world? Oh well, she came in 5th in her heats today.

If not for the exams soon, I will be sitting 24/7 in front of the tv watching the Olypmic events.

Back to DEL.

The lessons in the rain

Yes, I rarely post titles for my posts, but this time, Im having one because this post is very significant to me.

Today is the day I've finally learnt something new, and a teaching to remember for life.

After sending my brother off to tuition at my ex-tutition teacher's new house (he didnt know how to get there since its his first time there), I was suppossed to play soccer at Serangoon. Then the weather started to get dark and it was going to rain. I didnt really mind since I called marcus earlier on and he said there was already 1 round of downpour before that. As he had his caregroup, I waited for him at macs until 5.45 where we were suppossed to meet at the soccer court. And that was when God started to plan his lesson for me.

Yes, the thunder accompanied the rain and it started pouring cats and dogs. I ran to the nearest shelter to take cover and I had this in mind, "I had to get off to the bus stop or else I wont have a good chance to later when the rain gets heavier." But on the other side of my mind was what if marcus came down looking for me and doesnt find me there, it would seem that I had abandoned him. But I knew this would never happen cos I know marcus would nv would come find me. LOL. So I just ran to the bus stop.

And yes,marcus didnt call me to ask me to go home and say that the match was cancelled,until it was about 7.He apologised though. Perhaps he was too busy but I learnt a lesson from that, or rather, I would have called him to do so if we were to switch positions. But I never blamed him because it wasnt his fault. It was the freaky weather.

So lesson 1, always be attentive to those around you. Never be too engaged in your own stuff to ignore the rest around. Its never responsible to do so.

At the bus stop, we were all forced to take a step back to prevent the rain from splashing onto us. So I squeezed with the ZHSS students in the bus-stop. Then came this parent that drove her car in front of the bus-boarding platform and her daughter was right in front of the platform. Guess what, her daughter told her mother to make a U-turn to the carpark 10m away to pick her up, because the rain was getting heavy. Firstly, the distance from the platform to the car was less than 0.5m. The girl covered her head with her history textbook and walked to the car under the heavy rain to tell her mum to U-turn, when I felt she could have just got into the car ASAP. The kids at the bus-stop that saw this incident later told their parents to do the exact same. Only 2 didnt. And both were ladies too. I seriously cant imagine why children of this generation are so "soft" .Im not generalising all of them but most. Is it that hard to just move into the car ASAP, at most drenched in a little little tiny bit of rain? That hard? So comforted are we that we take things for granted to even push our way in to best fit our convenience.

Lesson 2. Always be appreciative for what you have and accommodate. Dont push your luck too far and try to do things your own way. Sometimes, its good to give and take.

Lesson 3, never take a wife like that. =P

And the last lesson, its only in times of hardship do we see true kin/friendship. The sweet days are useless, the hard days are always the most precious.

Those lessons aside, Marcus, Joel,Mel Tan and I went to watch Money No Enough at PS ystd after gym. It was a funny movie, with all the hokkien stuff entertaining the audience around. But it had a realistic and unfortunate sad side to it. It definitely does reflect about the current situation in Singapore, regarding treatment to the elderly. I shall not be a spoiler so catch the movie. But do take some pointers from it, esp. the last part. It does re-iterate my last lesson as mentioned above.

Today, Im gonna post about the Sat that just went past. See the pics and you'll know what happened.


Yeah you got it, its National Day Preview!


The combined schools choir singing those old National Day Songs.


The Para peeps coming in...

But guess what, they didnt even land. Bleah.. They "float" away at the end of it..

The Parade forming up


Parade formed up, with the words NDP 08 on it, which is quite usual every year. =P

The Helicopters!!

It sure is a big flag!

My Fav part of the whole parade...Goooooo Black Knights.


Forming a heart shape.
Formed!! OMG it was damn cool. They had many other stunts too and the most thrilling one was when they had to fly "past" one another and we had a short opportunity to hear in on their conversations. Black Knights rock! This was the Night section of the parade which was damn boring and unappealing to me. Every year without fail there's like the history of Singapore to the modern day and what's for the future. *YAWNS*
Yeah, the damn boring performance part.
Oh and I thought introducing these cute little balloons were a nice idea.
This was the first and only fireworks I saw for the parade. Mum and I ran first before the whole thing ended cos there's definitely going to be a crowd later on rushing towards the MRT stations. As it is, many people were alr leaving the floating platform just as we were going away too.

Oh and I saw Michelle Sabrina Phua ystd at Bishan Popular. HAHAHA. I was going for my regular jogs and she told me she saw me on the bus and suspected it was me le. HOHOHO. And her doubts were confirmed. Well, she became skinnier and has HAIR! But her "Byeee--Byeee" never changed. LOL.

Money No Enough tomorrow at town!!!!! =D
