OMG!!! I was super shocked this morning to see my results!! GPA 4.0!! Yayyy.Actually I have to thank God for it, for blessing me through this whole examination period. I didnt expect to get a 4.0, maybe a 3.5 or somewhere around there? Yeah. Whee and dad gave me a hundred dollars for a good job done. Wahahaha, now I have some spare money to get my new pair of earphones and my badminton grip's rubber cover le. =)

Played table tennis and the first time I won jen kiat. 4 sets to 3. Well cos I brought my own bat along and since I was more familiar with it and I knew where my mistakes lie, I just played a "minimal mistakes" game by not trying to smack the ball and waiting for my opponent to get impatient and force an error. =D

Fun olympics today was quite okay. Took turns with Teo Huei to brief the respective groups about the game and helped to count the scores. Then while waiting for another group to appear, we would just grab a few balls and play our own game. Hahaha, super fun.

Loads of drama serials to watch now. " HELLO Xiao2 Jie3" , "Sui4 Yue4 Feng1 Yun2" , "Ba4 ba1 bi4 zui3". Clearing them 1 by 1 now. Its all the channel 55 shows but Im just too impatient to wait for them to show 1 episode by 1 episode on TV so I've decided to watch them first. Hahaha.

Manutd lost to Liverpool by 2 goals to 1 and I had expected it. Without Ronaldo's presence, the team is akin to a tiger without fangs. Sure, it has paws to fight, but it wouldn't last long. Ronaldo is still the crucial man to bring the team back to its glory. And just as well, I was at some chinese singing thing which my grandma had a role in so at least I didnt have to see the disappointing game play of manutd, as was described to me by my brother. =(

Last but not least, F1 grabbed my attention the most for this whole week. The Italian GP. Sebestian Vettel took it much to the shock of the other more experienced drivers and it was an undeniable fact that he drove in a very pretty solid manner. Taking the lead over Kovalainen for quite a few laps is an amazing feat for this young driver and he certainly deserved the first place standings. Next up, Singtel Singapore GP. My take would be none other than my personal idol, Lewis Hamilton!!!! =D

Okay, going to rest for now, long day tmr.

See this! Yeah it my newest game in my PC collection. Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 VEGAS! Yeah I know this game was out a year back but I had forgotten to buy it until recently. And since the older games were at a discount, I got it at a much cheaper price. =) And dont hv the misconception that the older games are lousier, because this 1 never is. Its super exciting and it trains on 1 aspect, PATIENCE! Without patience, even SEAL team members cant complete the games. The terrorists are alert at the slightest sound of a gun shot and so the killings have to be done very very carefully after much planning. Im completing 1 stage at a time because it wont be fun to just rush through it all and what's more playing first player shooting games for long hours gives me disorientation and a want to ....vomit?!
Parents are not in town as of today which means......not all hell break lose lar, Im not some kid that goes to club. but more freedom le and yeah, quieter house. Going to the masterbedroom later to watch cable tv and yeah, until how late also can. =)
After a few sessions of peer tutoring, I can really see a difference in students in top schools and those in the neighbourhood ones. No Im not being elitist here, but seriously there has got to be a difference otherwise how would we know who are the better ones. Those I taught a few days back were just super rowdy and v inattentive. To think that they were praised by the teacher to be bright students and are going for entry into DPAE. Im mean attitude wise I would expect better but they truely were a rowdy bunch. Compared to those from top schools, they know how to handle their work and have a better sense of responsibility. Also, they are more attentive and even if they miss out on something they will find a way to get back to it. I doubt the ones in my class are going to pass the on-coming exam. I would say perhaps 80% of the class wont make it. On e other hand, the ones at the other class are v quiet and attentive. They come prepared and know how to ans the qns. I would feel confident for them.
Alright going to watch TV le. Bye! =)

Isn't it ridiculous?! Apple's most likely going to announce a new ipod touch and my guess is that the new touch could "take-in" the same design as the current iphone 3G, which has tapered ends and a plastic back. Oh gosh, I would prefer the newer 1 because I wont have to worry about the scratching of the back then. =(

I've been quite free these few days and its more of TV and sports, like as I mentioned in the previous posts, swimming. Played soccer for an hour today before going for my usual run. However, this time while running, I realised that I was better in controlling my breaths and knowing my constant breath pacing. To put it another way, I sorta can last a longer distance as compared to last time. Perhaps the swimming sessions showed a little results. =) Im gonna go swimming again tmr morning and this time Im having a shot at my lousy free-style technique. I keep forgetting to kick my legs everytime I focus too much on my breathing and movement of the hands. So Im gonna have to master it and perhaps by the end of the year, I will be able to swim a medley.HAHAHAHAHA. Okay Mervyn you are DREAMING!

Looked at my schedule and the next 2 weeks are gonna be quite packed. Peer tutoring, Work, Looking after the house and doing some housework while dad and mum are away, going to lay my touch on my poor long forgotten keyboard, swimming, jogs, table tennis sessions, completing my book and magazines, cousin's bbq, Chiong-ing the TV drama......And after seeing the police trainees kayaking during the 10pm channel U hong-kong drama, I have a super strong urge to go KAYAKING!!! But I wont do it in the open seas since Im not a pro, perhaps macritchie.

And I have quite a few things to buy and do,buy the plastic covering for my badminton racket, buy new headphones,buy tt book at e shelf at popular,cut hair, finish the peer tutoring solutions,buy new TYR goggles,buy new swimming trunks,buy new shoelaces.

Alright, going to catch up with my drama on dvd le, bai-bai!! Hehe....

Oh shucks, my ear-phones just spolit. =( And what's more its a Sennheiser earphone so I'd expect it to be more lasting?! Okay nvm so I guess its time to get a new one since I'd go crazy if there is no music entertainment when I take buses. Looking at cheaper alternatives like Sony or Creative and even Bose. And now I realise the importance of noise cancelling earphones because they really do block out NOISE! In science, noise is simply defined as unwanted sounds or signals. So since the noise coming out from the bus engine is not what I want to hear, then its good to have noise-cancelling ear-phone. Therefore, first priority, NOISE-CANCELLATION!! =)

Swam 1KM today, which is equivalent to 20 laps, and which is accumulated by 16 laps of breaststroke and 4 laps of backstroke. The water keeps getting into my nose when I was attempting my first lap of backstroke but it gets better over time. People say the best runners can also pant while swimming, because swimming is sport in another medium, in this case, water. Hmmmm...but I still dont feel tired after 20 laps, which took me about 45 minutes inclusive of rest-time? Yeah. And Im so gonna try swimming like 40 laps in a week for every week this holiday. It seems little to the pro-swimmers but to a beginner like me, quite hard. I might increase the number of laps if I get better with the endurance, who knows?

Booked the table-tennis court again this Sunday for the same old 2 hours. It was super fun last week and I tried out a new attacking move which proved to be quite successful in hitting the ball at the corner and the percentage of it getting out of the table was like only 5%?

okay, gg off to do some surfing for new earphones le. =P

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.
