Eduardo (thigh), Abou Diaby (calf), Nicklas Bendtner (groin), Theo Walcott (hamstring), Robin Van Persie (ankle), Gael Clichy (back), Kieran Gibbs (foot) and Johan Djourou (knee). By the time the final whistle blew at Emirates Stadium, that total had soared to 12 after Tomas Rosicky (groin), Emmanuel Eboue (leg), Armand Traore and William Gallas (both hamstring) all suffered knocks.

Are you kidding me...

Am contemplating a change of blog. Cause i can't change the email of this blog to my gmail account. watch this space.

As the Mid Sem Test edges closer there's this air of nerves. Just fear that i might struggle badly in the coming test. Ah well stay positive and try my best, nothing less.

There are times when i'm really desperate for a car, even a Toyota Vios. haha. Taking trains have become such a pain. lol.

Quite abit happening lately, left me with quite abit of thinking.

Case no.1 Gunners were humbled at the hands of Chelsea 3-0. Hmm, are we out of their league? The result was predictable but not the scoreline. Chelsea has always been known for their efficiency with Drogba in top form and an Arsenal vs Chelsea game, more often than not has always been the same case, Arsenal playing all the football and Chelsea getting the last laught.

But i standy by what i tweeted in the afternoon. The 1 game in hand will be vital for us. Pretenders or Genuine title contenders? Come on you Gunners !

Case no.2, Tennis. In training / practice i'll perform pretty well, i reckon. However when i'm in a match my game's just messed up. Am i really cut out for this? Oppurtunity at the school team now looks very very far away.

Case no.3 MST. What more can i say? If Exams don't leave you thinking about them, you better get your head checked.

Case no.4 Meet ups after MSTs. Jrs, Npconcc, Qiu Li & Eunice and Shanny Bunny. The thought of gatherings already got me itching for the MSTs to end quickly.

A day of many firsts

2009-11-25T23:23:00.002+08:00

It's the first time i bought a HEAD Racket.
It's the first time i drove in a accident-caused traffic jam.
It's the first time i got really paranoid about having no petrol while driving.
It's the first time i got turned off walking into a Nike Store.
It's the first time i went to school for absolutely nothing.
It's the first time i saw someone forcing his way into my car.
It's the first time i did something in the car. haha.

It's been a pretty eventful weekend. Attended the SRS NCC End of Year camp, met afew good friends and we talked abit about the past, present and the future.

Well something stupid happened during camp. haha. Last night we were sleeping on the school stage / podium in the parade square. I couldn't get to sleep, i lay down there for about an hour then i decided to take a little walk around the school at 5am.

Then i walked and walked til it was 6 and i finally realised that there was a mattress at the rock climbing area and in the end, i only managed to squeezed 30 minutes of sleeping time on the mattress. What a waste.

And i joined a group of tennis kakis for training. We train under the same coach, the coach who does individual lessons with me and i'm surrounded by players who've or are representing schools to play competitively.

There's a gap between our skills but hopefully i'll be able to reach their standard soon... well, more hard work then.

Steamboat in the rain

2009-11-19T20:42:00.006+08:00

What a fine way to have dinner eh? It seems like the heavens have opened up and granted Singapore more rain that we had wished for.

It's was chilly and wet but no worries, because Sanjit, Adriel, Mikail, Prabin and myself went up to Turf City in Sanjit's car(roller coaster) for STEAMBOAT.

2 / 5 of the usual suspects.

Turf City's a nice place, i thought it's a place where horses race. lol. That's how ignorant i am. I'm sure many of you heard of the steamboat at Marina South, well they opened a brance at turf city and it's like Seoul Garden, but at half price.

HALF PRICE !

There're Tennis Courts up there as well, also a mini court for little children. haha. Cute eh?

Going back home was really irritating i wanted to take a bus from Serangoon MRT. Take bus for 2 stops seeing that i'm having a heavy bag today. But it's a bloody wrong decision i waited for like 5-8 minutes, no bus that went to my bus stop came.

How shitty is that ?

And when i finally got home... i found...

Be Cool !

Don't know if training's still on, but i didn't go cause it was raining. Raining in Kovan, not very sure if it's raining over at Dover. hahah.

Well i spent around 15 minutes on the dentist chair and it sucked. Everyone hates the dentist chair yeah?

Took the chance to check out the Adidas sale at Wing Tai for some good deals and good deals there were. Here's a look at my purchases.

I'm a huge Arsenal fan and a football fan. And Real Madrid are a great team and the jersey's on sale ! like almost half the price so i got one of those. Please do not question my allegiance when Arsenal meets Real. There'll only be one answer as there is only 1 Arsenal.

On top of that, i got a couple of sports gear for my jog / gym / tennis.

That's all for now, i'm itching for a drive out but no plans as yet. Ah well, be cool.

Today's been a good day at school, though long and draggy but plenty of laughs. Felt lethargic throughout cause i only at 4hrs+ sleep, but nothing a bit of laughs can't cure.

Some classic phrases came out today. Like, "Mistakes are learning experiences" and the pick of the lot "Those who never try, will not try" Yeap, that left the class scratching our heads.

Just what the hell did that mean ? hahaha.

Obviously, it was tutorial class and our lecturer got a little pissed off with some people not attempting to do the questions.

Anyhow, took a great pic in school.

There'll be a lab quiz tomorrow and i'm not prepared for it, at all. haha. It's more of a hope for the best situation.

Training after school at 5pm as well, i'll probably drive to school, AYE down to AMK. I've to go to the dentist tomorrow... So... hopefully i get through with it ASAP and TAKE IT LIKE A MAN.

See ya, Be Cool.

Bonjour

Today's been a pretty long day for me, been driving around the west side of Singapore. Well the day started painfully. I was dreaming, don't ask me what because i can't remember.

While i was dreaming, i felt myself swing my elbow to the right which was just where my bed frame's wooden barrier was. And i smashed my elbow right into it. Ouch... not fun. And i was thinking how the hell can i get through with training later today.

Thankfull training was postponed. I heard of Tennis Elbow but shall we call this dream elbow?

Prabin and Matthew came over to my house to start on our project. Presentation on monday and it's up to me to sell our idea to the lecturer hopefully things will go well then.

Drove Prabin to school and i went to West Coast Plaza to check out the nike factory outlet store. It has some past season clothes that can't be found in the nike stores and i think i've to check back afew months later to get what i want.

But i saw this pair of Nike's. Damn nice, i always wanted this series of Tennis Shoes. The vapour series. But it's a money saving month for me, so i've to stay disciplined. lol. Let's see if i'm fated to get that pair of shoes.

Watch this space.

I love driving to school. Because an MRT ride that's full of people simply suck went home a little earlier today than i'd prefer cause of the heavy traffic but i made it back in 1 piece and the car is still whole.

Drove to school for the EEE Games day where the school organised a day of games for all the DEEE year 2 students. Though not many from my class were present, but, the main clique were there and it was fun.

I think this is the we had so much fun as a class i think. Ah well, another 6 more months and i'll be amongst different classmates.

Yes, we'll be streaming again. And i have no idea what to choose. Ok i've an idea but i don't know if it's going to be the right decision.

Wow, Cesc Fabregas have been voted PFA Fan's Player of the Month. That's pretty amazing, i can't remember any Arsenal player in recent history winning the award.

As much as i hate the thought, but i think it's more of hope than belief that Fabregas will be at Arsenal for long. He's just got Barcelona in his blood and i believe that's the only club he'll move to.

Training today's cancelled cause of the Poly-ITE games. SP play NP today, i wonder how the match went. NP are strong favourites cause they've the best squad. Well i hoped to be in the team but i think i would probably try SP's face. haha.

Worked out in the gym a little today since i had half the day off, well, Haven't really started studying i guess i have to really start soon.

Doing my monday post early here.

October has been an expensive month. Spent quite abit of money in that 31 days and that means that i'll be scrimping and saving for the month ahead.

I got an Ipod, a Driver's License, River Island Shoes and Adidas tennis top and not to mention miscellaneous stuff that i spent on. My attachment salary's more or less gone. Well, plans on getting another racket, transformers model, Ferrari F2008 model have to be put on hold.

Atleast until debts clear up.

Had training on wednesday and it was atrocious. What difference 7 days make. Last week, things were looking bright for me but this week i felt the door was shut. Ah well, i've about 5 months to impress. Consistency is key.

Regarding a certain tweet of mine on twitter, i can say that i'm ok, i'm just worried. That's all that you're getting from me, i won't divulge leak the matter out.

Cheerio.

Just logged in from soccernet.com

Learnt that the new Reds Signing might be in for his debut. Alberto Aquilani. I've seen videos of the guy and he's very impressive. It's Liverpool and you have to understand that they have what it takes to come away with a win.

Be it home or away, Arsenal first / second team. But then again the Arsenal Carling Cup squad never fails to suprise us. Going back to the 6-3 victory at Anfield, 3-1 win at the Emirates in the semi-final of that season.

Hoping for the best for the Gunners and Pool to have a bad game.

Anyway, we will know about the result on Thursday. If you log in on thursday and read "ccb."

You should know what happened and don't ask. haha.

Training tomorrow, am getting pretty sick of travelling to and from school twice in a day. But i don't want to wait 5 hrs in school as well. Yawns.

Read about the lightning strike online awhile ago and learnt that the person is in a coma. They said his cap was burnt and there was blood spilling out of his mouth.

Sounds pretty scary, the point is to don't take any chances.

Went to queensway during lunch today and it's a wrong move there are just so many of my type of shops there haha, was late 30 minutes for my lecture. But it's ok, i can catch up, something like, talented in Maths. haha.

25th of Oct 2009

2009-10-25T14:30:00.003+08:00

Something extraordinary happened today, not particularly good.

When i was talking to my coach before my tennis lesson, a lighting struck somewhere near where we were standing. He jumped and said that was damn near and called the club's weather control for clarification on whether we can go ahead with the lesson.

They said it was ok. That's pretty dumb, if it was near the courts, how can it be safe to carry on? We carried on anyway thinking that it's a one off thing. Then, someone ran around the courts frantically asking everyone the get off the courts.

Then, we learnt that someone got struck by the lightning on the golf course. And that part of the course was pretty near the sports facilities. God bless the person. The last thing i heard was that he/she was unconcious and the ambulance have already picked him up.

Scary... please keep yourselves indoors during lightning conditions.

Got back home rather early today at about 1pm odd. It felt good to be home early. Intended to take nap but when i got onto the playstation, i just can't put the controller down. haha, there's got to be a kid in everyone.

Anyway, my brother got back home early today so i went out to have my racquet re-strung. Had it strung at a higher tension which would mean a better response but less power. Can't wait to give it a try on sunday or whenever.

Sometimes i read about people talking about some stuff about sports, they use all kinds of professional language and try to explain things. It all sounds impressive and logical.

But, if you're in a tensed game or whatever, will you have the composure to execute what you think? Or will you just act on instinct. So i think all the talk is pretty trash.

22nd of Oct 2009

2009-10-22T20:40:00.002+08:00

I wonder if it is something good a bad.

Ever since that wednesday last week, i've had my fair share of happiness as well as anger mixed with sadness. And it has only been one week. Really wtf. Farking irritating.

Sometimes i really think that it's not really a good thing, because... No, nevermind.

21st of Oct 2009

2009-10-21T21:15:00.000+08:00

Hi

Well, i should've seen it coming. Not re-stringing my racket when the strings have already lost tension and not practicing enough ahead of this Novice Open competition.

All my opponent had to do was to pop the ball back into play and wait for me to balloon the ball. Well, nerves... dumb tension... lack of practice means 6-1 lost.

It really suck but i guess i've to blame myself cause my opponent hardly put my in any trouble just that i messed up. Well, it's time to look forward to bigger things, that's the SP school team.

The coach took notice of me today and i think i played fairly well in front of him, bad strings and all. Hopefully he'll give me the golden ticket to the first team training soon.

It's going to be a long day tomorrow, 8-5pm and i've to meet my attachment liaison officer after school. Not looking forward to it at all, my body's aching so damn much.

20th of Oct 2009

2009-10-20T20:45:00.002+08:00

Ok today is the 2nd day of school and things are looking boring. haha. Haven't had much lessons, only maths yesterday and a little "practical" today which i found pretty lame.

Ok, so we were supposed to watch a video and fill in the answers from the video. Ok... wow, forgive me for the lack of enthusiasm.

Novice open starts tomorrow and my opponent is a pretty decent player, not one who can't hit balls for nuts. Will just try to do well, not very optimistic seeing as i haven't been practicing much.

haha, tournament suicide. But i'll do my best, looking forward to it.

Shall end with some fascinating statictics for this season's BPL so far...

Arsenal
* The Gunners are scoring an incredible average of 3.37 goals per Premier League game this season.

* If games ended after 45 minutes, Arsenal would be top of the table with 19 points.

* All Arsenal's points have been won against bottom-half opposition. They have lost both games - against Manchesters United and City - against top-half clubs.

* Cesc Fabregas has been credited with a massive nine assists in seven games.

This probably shows that the fixtures have been kind on the Gunners so far. And rubbishes reports that Cesc have lost to motivation to play for trophy-less Arsenal.

Aston Villa
* Just three of their 12 goals this season have been scored from open play.

* Villa have the best defensive record in the Premier League this season.

* James Collins' last Premier League goal came in April 2006 for West Ham...against Chelsea.

This is amazing, 9 of their goals came from set pieces and they have the best defensive record in the league so far.

Chelsea
* Chelsea have not lost two consecutive away games in the Premier League since September 2007.

* Didier Drogba has been directly involved in 13 of 19 Chelsea goals this season.

* They have not failed to score in any Premier League game since April 22 v Everton.

* Six of the eight goals they have conceded this season have come from set-pieces.

Another shocker. Chelsea, whose defence has been the best for the last few seasons atleast with regards to set pieces and conceded so many goals already. And of course they'll be in trouble should Didier get a bad injury.

Liverpool
* The last time Liverpool failed to score in consecutive Premier League games was September 2007.

* Jamie Carragher is the only outfield player to play every minute for Liverpool in the league this season.

* Liverpool were credited with 69% of the possession against Sunderland.

hmm, can't pick out anything from this piece of stat. Don't think it's a good think that Carragher's been playing every minute, not in this kind of form.

Manchester City
* For all their attacking talents, City have actually scored fewer goals in their first eight games that at this stage last season.

* City have drawn both games (v Villa and Wigan) they were losing at half-time.

* They have yet to win at Wigan in the Premier League.

Well teams need to gel before they start winning i guess.

Manchester United
* Despite their supposedly poor form, United have four more points from nine games (22) than they had amassed at the same stage last season

* They have not lost a single point from a winning position this season.

* They have benefited from three own goals at Old Trafford this campaign.

Apple face Scot Sir Alex probably found the formula for winning very ugly. No longer as attractive as they have been for the last 2 seasons, but they're still getting the results. Well, it's all about the 3 points.

Sunderland
* Victory over Liverpool marked Sunderland's first victory over Big Four opposition in seven years.

* Darren Bent has scored the first goal in six of Sunderland's nine games.

* Sunderland are joint bottom of the disciplinary table with Tottenham. Captain Lorik Cana has picked up four of their 18 bookings.

Darren Bent is too hot to handle at the moment...

Tottenham Hotspur
* Ledley King became Spurs' 11th league scorer at Portsmouth.

* Four of Tottenham's nine games have ended in a 2-1 win for Spurs.

* Jermaine Jenas has been booked four times in five games since his return from injury.

Their goal distribution is pretty densed and lol at Jermaine Jenas, who i thought would be the one to fly the England flag when Gerrard/Lampard is done.

Ok let's summarise.

Had a near perfect circuit test. Just that i failed to stop behind a stop line. Then a disastrous test route where i had 3 Immediate Failures.

Number 1, changing lane in yellow box. (Dumb Fuck Lance)

Number 2, Stopping in Yellow box. Here's what happened. I was driving and then a lorry cut into my lane from the right and he took up what should've been, "my space" so, i had no choice but to park in yellow box.

Cb lorry driver, hope you die young.

Number 3, fail to give way to right of way. Was waiting to turn right. The car driving towards my direction was crawling. I felt i could go. So i went. And he said the car was too close even though he's crawling.

So i proposed for a 2nd go at the test route. He accepted.

Almost perfect for 2nd try except that i didn't keep to the left lane at 1 junction. 6 pts off.

If you take my circuit and last test route alone, i pass. If you take the 2nd i'll fail miserably.

At the end of the lesson, he said "Your driving is very good, your circuit if also very good. Just that for test, i'd say 20% is up to luck. But for you i think passing first time shouldn't be a problem."

Sounds good to me. Though first test route was shite, i'll take confidence in the 2nd attempt. Then again, i'll only have 1 try.

So, be wary of dumb mistakes Lance and head down to Waterloo St on saturday.

Anyway, i'll be going outstation to JB tomorrow for work. Looking forward to it.

Hello

Had a good driving session a moment ago, though i minused 8 points but the two mistakes were pretty small and can be easily corrected. I've to be consistent and extremely careful in future.

It's going to be good weekend i think, going to get plenty of rest before the work week.

Hello

Sometimes i will wonder while i'm working "what's next?" First, there was the floods in Manila, then tremors were felt in Singapore. So serious that some people had to get out of their houses just to keep themselves at peace with themselves.

My aunt, who has a house in Manila had her house swept away thanks to the floods. It's just gone. Nothing's done so far to compensate or whatever. Sometimes you just have to sit back and say too bad.

After working for us for 18 years, her house, one of her sources of income is gone. I don't know how much money that meant to her but i guess it's quite abit. Just seeing her so sad made my heart twitch.

Life's a cruel game, it really is. You lose something when it isn't even your own doing.

Hello,

Overtimed a little bit today. Reached the office at 5.30pm but i've to complete a small task for one of the managers. He has to bring a couple of parts to malaysia tomorrow so i've to take them out for him.

Stayed til about 6.10pm. Well my ipod nano arrived, well red and nice. But i'm searching for a cover and a really cool set of speakers that doesn't charge the ipod while i use it.

Saw a optimus prime ipod speakers a few months ago. Prime's truck that is able to transform into a set of speakers. Pretty cool.

Had driving just now. Circuit was pretty disastrous in my view. Slopes, i didn't know i've to return to my left lane even when i'm on the right. Reaction response, didn't get the car straight then i was reversing.

Parallel parking hit the hump first time, couldn't feel if my wheels are straight. That's the biggest disappointment cause i'm usually consistently good on my parallels.

Test routes, not consistent on blindspots when i thought i was.

Summary.
Instructor: Your driving, overall is ok. Just that there are few things you need to take note. Those are actually very small things.

Myself: But i felt today was very cui.

So yeah, i don't know if i'm asking too much of myself but i really want to pass first time.

tomorrow's gonna be a good day.

Placed an order for my ipod last night. Ordered in red, engraved Live for the moment. Looking forward to really holding it in my hands soon. I swear i'm not going to break my ipod. AGAIN

I have to confess, i've owned 3 ipods. The first is the old mini in pink. Broke that. The 2nd is the little fat nano in black. Broke that as well. And now this red nano, please bless that i don't break it.

Been really lethargic at work cause of my body block. It gets undone every weekend. Especially so this weekend as i've been getting home late from F1 and waking up early for driving / outings.

That means i need loads of snacks while at work.

My supervisor will be going on leave for the next 3 working days. That's friday, monday and tuesday. Initially that meant that i had nothing to do for all 3 days from 830 - 1730 which suck big time.

But he's left me with a stack of things to do and the onus is on me to finish it slowly and spread it out to 3 days. Ok, i can do that. I guess haha, the main concern is that i finish too quickly.

Was out for the 2nd half of the day today. Took a drive to a couple of customer's place and understood the operation of the company better. Paya Lebar all the way to West Coast... That's pretty crazy.

It's been a long day. I really feel like going back to school the freedom... is really shiok. Plus you're always with friends but at work, everyone's engrossed in their own work and there aren't much interaction.

It's all cool but i guess i'm getting a little too bored at work especially when i'm sitting alone with nothing to do. haha. Draw circles at my table.

Am in a Dillema now, i want to get a Ipod Nano but i don't know which colour.

Hello, shan't leave my blog untouched just because i've a twitter account.

Unlike some black magic practitioner.

Well it's been a busy last couple of days. So busy that i'm too tired to blog. But it's been fun. Met up with a lot of friends something that wasn't possible afew weeks back.

Glad that everyone's lives are going well and nothing really bad is going on. Just that someone exploded on sunday evening for his own mistake. haha. ah well.

Well today's been good time went by pretty quickly with work to do. Repaired a machine and will be fixing it up tomorrow at a customer's workshop. Hopefully all goes well then.

Hello

Just a thought about working. Well, you get bloody bored when you have nothing to do. You can't be caught doing some funny stuff for example surfing your favourite websites and when you have nothing to do you feel like sleeping.

Surely you know that's not allowed.

But when you have things to do, time seem to zoom past. And you feel a sense of achievement when you get something done, then again you're always on your toes biggest a little mistake may cost your company to lose money.

Corporate Jungle... Not fun.

I've been double checking my work everytime in fear of making a mistake i guess that's good practice. I really feel that the Industrial Training Programme is really good to train a person's character.

To be more patient and merticulous.

hello,

Well work was boring. For half a day i was waiting for the guy from the IT dept to fix up my com and install it with the softwares which i'll need to use. And when it's finally done, it was and hour and a half away from knockoff.

Atleast i've a com now.

I've been thinking about my Tennis Novice Open tournament coming up when school reopens. Looking forward to it, not going to talk about expectations cause it'll be a my maiden tournament. Just hope to feel good going into the tournament and try my best.

And rain destroyed plans to jog at Serangoon Stadium. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow, i've really got to go jog.

Raw is War.

Hello, laptop is back.

Working for this 6 weeks of holidays. It's been shit cause basically, i've nothing to do.

The feeling suck. Worse thing is, because i have nothing to do, i can't get a good grade for my attachment.

Just watched a show which said work is all about initiative. To ask people if they've things for you to do. Maybe i should try that tomorrow.

Anyway, over the weekend i can only remember 1 thing...

If you buy this printer, we will give you 4 free gifts.
Number 1, an extra black colour ink cartridge.
Number 2, a stack of A4 sized photo paper.
Number 3, a gaming mouse.
And Number 4, a mystery gift worth 17 dollars.

Good fun.

Just measured my temperature, 37.4. I'm close to recovering which is good.

Hopefully i'll be fully fit by tomorrow cause the feeling of being sick suck. You feel so lethargic and you can't do most things.

Will be playing Tennis for the first time in weeks on saturday, hopefully i won't konk out.

Exams over

2009-09-04T16:44:00.000+08:00

Finally the exams are over and a irritating monkey off my back. Well as a whole i performed pretty average i guess. Which is a B got to work hard to turn them into As next sem. Try to. Feeling so lethargic today... just feel like sitting at home and do nothing. haha.

We're just 4 minutes away from teacher's day. Would like to take this oppurtunity to thank every single teacher who've helped my in my 10 years of education though most if not all of them will not see this but i really just want to thank them.

Twitter's not all perfect, there are times when i can't tweet. For example i typed the stuff i want to post and when i click post, it doesn't load. It just hangs down there. And it's pretty messed up.

Anyways,

Why you want to play tennis. Good read.

Had DCS today, i thought i faired pretty well for the paper, hopefully my results turns out as i hope. Electrical Installation Design next and it's full of shit.

If you're a frequent visitor you'll know why i hate it so damn much.

Hello

Sorry i can't update as often as i did and you guys have to check back every single time reading the same thing. Well exams are here. And it's pretty shitty. Maths was really tough. Especially section C. I hope it goes fine. 3 more papers to go stretching over the entire 5 day week.

If the blog's not updated you can always follow me on Twitter which i update more often cause it's that much easier.

Maths is driving me crazy. I'm pretty good at it, not that i'll fail the module. But the careless mistakes and all is getting to me. I swear i'm going to destroy something and go crazy soon.

Feels so uptight today but i can't express it, i can't punch nothing, can't swear for nuts without looking like a complete idiot. Bottling everything in now. Believe me when i say that i wish i had cushioned walls so i could hit it as many times i like.

Better than damaging the pretty piece of glass in front of me. Well, punch count for today is 1. Pretty good control i reckon.

Haven't been checking in lately, my apologies for that, just that twitter's becoming sort of a mini blog now.

Anyways, exam starts next week.
Tuesday ACS
Friday Maths
Monday DCS
Wednesday EID
Friday CT&A

From there, it'll be a weekend break and straight to attachment.
Poly = slack ?
I don't think so.

Gunners got lucky last night. With 2 fluke goals but who cares? It was a solid performance from Wenger's men anyway.

Early morning football = Mor Peng.
That's pretty fucked up.

2009-08-17T22:43:00.000+08:00

Well my internet explorer is having menses. Yes it's not longer my wireless signal but my browser that's having menses.

When i reached home today, i logged into facebook only to find the page half loaded. wtf? Refreshed it almost 10 times and the problem persisted. It's the same case for blogger. So i'm blogging not with half a page.

Luckily i can still see the publish post button.

Driving was great i guess i'm a fair driver. Can't wait to be a qualified driver, driving around at night is really comfortable cause there aren't many cars around and you basically won't panic or anything as compared to driving in the morning.

Now, there's no longer any difference between having class or not because basically, every lecturer have finished their lectures and there aren't anymore lessons except for a couple of presentations.

So i've 2 presentations and 1 lab test left. Particularly anxious about thursday's cause it's quite heavy in weightage and it's open to audience's arrows. Hopefully things will go well.

Sunday 16th of August 2009

2009-08-16T21:21:00.000+08:00

Well checking back in for a quick update at half time between Birmingham City and Man Utd.

Through my 18 years of life i've met quite a few funny people. Here's a case, this guy says that no matter how important exams are if he has any thing that he has to plan for after his exams, he would do both simultaneously. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

In fact, i admire his commitment for that other thing other than his exams. But but but, is it worth it?

And Safari really suck. Some websites are half loaded. Just that it looks like a super cool browser.

2009-08-13T23:42:00.000+08:00

Here i am sitting in my living room thinking about a conversation my family had with a friend of the family. This guy is in his 40s or 50s and been through a divorce. He claimed that he wasted 10 years of his life getting into that marriage.

Which is pretty true, i mean what if you get married and in the end you divorce your other half. You would be back to square one isn't it?

This guy continued, You have to be clear of what you need and what you want. What you want is a hot wife and extremely sexy and beautiful. But what you actually need, is a home maker. Those who go for those pretty pretty girls are those who only want to play only(i'm sure you understand what he meant by play).

Not exactly his words but i tried my best. But the intention was clearly that as above.

So i don't understand guys who get into relationships without even knowing the person or atleast, is extremely clear of his feelings. Maybe that's what girls like to call, players.

Not that home makers are ugly, fat and auntish. As long as they're on the same wave length as you in terms of the kind of life and family that you want then it's more or less safe to invest in the relationship i guess.

I'm not an expert, just expressing my views. You can try and find Ms Universe to be your partner and hope she's 100% faithful to you and you don't have to worry about her running away with Brad Pitt.

So after all that, what do you really need?

If you're curious, i'll choose the latter. Just because there's that much more security in the relationship.

At times, things happen that really change the way a human being thinks. There's nothing wrong with that, i mean change is part of life. I don't want to live my life without changing anything.

Nothing's wrong but i'm here to add my 2 cents worth of opinion.

When someone close to you passes away, you start to think life's so fragile and people come and go just so suddenly. You start to wonder is it worth working so hard and then a sudden twist of fate everything you did didn't give you any payout.

Working to live or Living to work?

Well i believe that one should always harbor the thinking that life is always better when you work for something. A target is a must. People move on, it's part of life, no way one can change it and even if you didn't give your all at work, you won't be able to stop death.

So why not give your all, reap the rewards and enjoy it.

Monday 10th of August 2009

2009-08-10T23:40:00.000+08:00

Ok Let's take it to the top.

Some of the Jrs joined me for the charity shielf game between Chelsea and Manchester Unied. High octane football just the way i like it. Match ended 2-2 and Chelsea winning on Penalties. Played Dai di and watched Music and Lyrics, one of my favourtie movies and ordered Supper.

Took a drive next to Marina pier a cool and quiet place, perfect for couples. Talked about our respective love lives and had a good laugh. Thankfully mine wasn't discussed cause it's pretty pathetic, well, maybe not. haha. It depends on which way you look at it.

Anyway, we talked til 5.30am. Really had a good time together, looking forward to the next though i know it won't be anytime soon. Drove to Upper Thompson Rd for prata next and got home at 7am.

Oh, Wei Hao was the driver of the day, i haven't gotten my license.

Went to see my grandparents at 2pm. I hate seeing my grandma, It's just so disheartening to see her in this state. in her own world, not recognising us. It didn't have to be this way if my uncle had been a better son to her i reckon.

Came across a photo that all the grandchildren took a picture with grandma, she was so radiant. Grey hair were black and she was so happy. What chinese would call zi sun man tang. I guess that's life. People age.

Things were a little cheerful at my granddad's side. Yes, they both live in the same nursing home. Gramps was very cheerful and glad to see us. He recognises us atleast, well i'd be pretty suprised if he didn't cause we lived together for 18 years. haha. He was telling us about where he used to keep his money and stuff.

Really cute, when i'm able to drive, i've got to make it a point to visit him more often. Funnily i'm closer to gramps who once left me outside on my baby trolley. haha. Thankfully a fruit stall vendor brought me back home if not god knows what would've happened.

Caught G I Joe next, absolutely top class movie, i'm definitely getting the DVD. Really outstanding show.
Yeap and another wasted day in terms of studies. Oh well business end of the sem is here. Presentations and all that other nonsense.

Friday 7th of August

2009-08-07T23:46:00.000+08:00

Well the semester is almost done and all that's left is tying up the loose knots of certain modules and we'll be good to go for the semestral exams.

I must say that sometimes i've to exercise self control towards the people around me. People may say things to make me burn on the inside. But i believe in a cliche and that's there's no smoke without fire. So whatever you do will influence people to say things about you that you don't like, obviously.

So whatever you hear, just swallow it down and look forth to what's coming up. Don't live in the past.

Thursday 6th of August 2009

2009-08-06T23:58:00.000+08:00

Sleeping late screwed my morning lecture and practical. Ah well but i hate a pretty good sleep, as compared to what i would've got if i rose at 6am. It really was a case where the mind was willing but the body was not.

Woke up a whooping 10am by then even if i wanted to go for the practical lesson, it wasn't possible. So i took my time to get ready and got to school by 12pm.

Spent the afternoon doing some EID Problem Based Independent Learning and had Critical Reasoning Skills meet up session with the lecturer whereby he'd go through my group's arguements for next week's presentation. I hope that it goes well.

CRS is really irritating well i guess it's never easy being a critical thinker. Extremely tedious but if you're able to do it, it's really really great.

But for my case, it's a downright pain in the ass.

Thursday 6th of August 2009

2009-08-06T01:33:00.002+08:00

Well today marks the end of my piano lessons. Atleast for now, my schedule's just too pack at the moment and in the near future. It's been fun but i guess like what my teacher said, this is a secondary interest.

Other than a couple of minor complications about payment i guess i'm just about ready for a clean break with Crestar education centre... for now.

Tennis training today was pretty good i've to take the ball on the rise more, a skill i've been trying to perfect for a zillion years but i don't know why it just doesn't come off. Anyway coach recognises my backhand, maybe that's the first step?

So tomorrow's an 8-5 day(probably ending earlier) i'm still here online, 1.36am risking my health and only 3 odd hours of sleep.

The things insomnia does to a person. Especially when my body's quite accustomed to sleeping for 6 or 7 hours.

4th of August 2009

2009-08-04T01:06:00.002+08:00

Wow it's august and the year's coming to an end. Kind of scary isn't it? Anyway the upcoming "holidays" will be a long one for me cause i'll be working but atleast i'll have abit of income.

And that means buying some stuff to fill up my room. haha. Nothing to do with photography.

I've decided to stop my piano for now cause it's really draining imagine my schedule on wednesdays, end school at 12pm, heading to kovan and back to SP for training. Plus, if i juggle work + training it's bad.

i really hope i'll be back at Crestar to complete my course, during the break i hope i'll still practice ah well i guess an 18 year old really shouldn't cope with so much.

Did abit of studying today, hopefully in 3 weeks i'll be fully equiped and at a couple of tenths to my GPA. At the end of the semester.

Watching the Channel 8 show nan xiang nan di now. Christopher Lee is really getting bullied for being too kind, that's why 1 should never be so innocent. But it's pretty amusing really.

Friday 31st of July 2009

2009-07-31T23:49:00.000+08:00

Logging in for a quick one cause i'm not feeling particularly healthy. Having renovations also means having dusts all around. With eyes and nose as sensitive as mine, it's not particularly good.

So hopefully i'll be able to get through the night unscathed and then hopefully i'll be able to sleep in a much cleaner room from tomorrow onwards.

Had a driving lesson earlier and it went pretty well, driving lessons are pretty cool cause i'm pretty good at it whilst i'm on the road. Anyway, i haven't touched on parking yet so we'll see if i really have the talent.

So far instructors have been praising me so hopefully it all goes well at the driving test day. Erm... yea i swear i'm going to patient towards learner drivers when i can drive in future.

It's a pain in the ass when other drivers are impatient they do stupid stunts that make you "live on the edge" For example i was driving along old tampines road it's a 2 lane dual carriageway. Means 2 lanes going in opposite direction.

Learners can only keep within 50km/hr naturally that's not the speed of qualified drivers and i was told to go faster... perhaps i shouldn't have taken that road. Btw i drove pass TP and looked over at the bus stop for familiar faces and almost drove into the lane next to mine. haha.

A little peek at my newly renovated room. Certainly looks more appealing and when i was told to match a colour with white, Red was naturally the colour.

Don't mind the mess... didn't have time to go set up a nice view for you guys, was rushing for time.

Don't mind the make shift curtain. Curtains will only come in next week.

Random shot, but i really like this one. Taken by me, seriously

Check out the difference in focus. This is one of the photos my dad took for me whilst we were in KL. Obviously this is a much better and expensive lens. Oh shit i can't get hooked into this expensive hobby.

Twittered !

The Rated R Blogger got on twitter today and it was... weird actually because almost no one uses Twitter other than Matthew Chua(SPTC)as i can see. Ah well it's more or less similar to Plurk just that it is a simplified version, IT Nuts should find this must more user friendly that plurk.

You don't get the games like facebook but it's a good way to keep track of friends, provided they use it. However face book can be used in exactly the same way just that there are plenty of people on my friendlist that i've never met. So... perhaps twitter is a waste of ______ fill in the blanks.

Could be anything.

Feeling quite tired just thinking of the long hours tomorrow i hope that the renovations can be done asap then i can have the living room to myself again. And... yes, still feeling damn shagged just thinking about school hours tomorrow.

I just got online not too long ago. Zhang Ao will be flying off soon at about 4 hours time and there goes his 5 / 6 days trip back to Sin City. Only managed to meet up with him twice really one of those childhood friends.

We first met in... primary 2 i guess and he always helped me do my chinese homework. haha. It didn't change much years later but it was i who was doing the writing, with reference to his work. haha.

Snapped a couple of photos with him and will be looking forward to him being back again next may. Hopefully others like Felix, Pong and Ray can be back at the same time. That'd be a shit load of fun.

Signing off with a picture of the Kop End at Kallang Stadium last sunday. A sea of Die Hard Liverpool Fans.

2009-07-28T08:40:00.000+08:00

Really has to be a quick morning cause i've to shower and head to school straight.

Well the start of a really busy month. Had a driving session yesterday and it went rather well, pretty nice feeling to drive around hougang / Seng Kang. And i've been at the wrong end of accusations of late, all of which i swallowed grudgingly. All of which i'm innocent of.

No point pleading not guilty with some people especially people who are consequential in your life, so just let it slide, it doesn't really matter. I believe in the way i live my life and at the moment i won't change it.

So much for being 1 of the earliest of the class and getting maligned for being late all the time thanks to the Indian lecturer.

Thursday 23rd of July 2009

2009-07-23T23:50:00.002+08:00

At times i feel that we have to be ready to make sacrifices for the greater good even though it may not necessarily be in your favor. For example if you getting some shit may help a group of friends to have an easier time at say... a project then i'd say it's worth it.

I find myself pretty individualistic. During group work i always assign myself the more important task because i trust only myself 100%. I mean who doesn't yea? But unless that particular group mate has an excellent track record or intelligence, i doubt i'll pass him / her any important assignment.

Rather than having a rascal to screw things up i'd rather have myself to do more work.

School was normal, how special can it get? or maybe i'm just too boring of a person to have a life in school. haha.

Wednesday, 22nd of July 2009

2009-07-22T22:58:00.002+08:00

Well the past few days have been really tough because both rooms in my house are under renovations. That means i've to sleep in the living room whilst they are being renovated.

So before i set off on Friday i wondered, i didn't have any auto roaming in my phone which means i can't call or text anyone when i'm there and i've to take a train from KL international Airport to the hotel which are very far apart.

If i got something wrong, then it's the end.

There was a time when i got lost when i was there, i had to switch train lines and the damn monorail was outside of the shopping mall. There were another 2 train lines in the malls so i queued for both(seperate queues). So halfway through both queues i thought this ain't right, the train line's name didn't tally.

But those were the only 2 around. Then i found out when i asked a local that the monorail station was a 10 minute walk away. I could see the station from afar but had to negotiate through the streets of KL.

Passing scary looking drink desserts that i'll only try if i'm in fear factor and seeing some street turmoil between a couple of locals to cars dashing across the traffic light with the red light out. Pretty chaotic.

Don't get my wrong, KL has it's beautiful places like the shopping mall that i spent my 3 days shopping at. I guess you can't really compare the 2 countries. But bing a local here my vote has to go to home.

I thought trains there where pretty small and wasn't very efficient in shipping thousands of people. After watching the match between Malaysia and Manchester United, My brother and i walked around the stadium and hung around for 1 and a half hours it was still pretty packed at the train station entrance.

Damn it was sure a long trip back to the hotel. Ah well glad all the travelling via trains there is over and i watched Man Utd play and the new no.7 making his Debut.

He was pretty popular amonst the fans.
In case you didn't know, the match ended 3-2 to Man U

Sunday 19th of July 2009

2009-07-19T23:11:00.002+08:00

Logging in for a quick 1.

KL trip was great. MEGA SALE really lives up to it's name 2 Armani Exchange T shirts going for 100 bucks. Good deal given that it's Armani. 3 days 2 nights just nice, no more no less.

Add a football match of Malaysia 11 vs Manchester United it was nearly perfect. And the food. oh my, Malaysia may give Singapore a good run for it's money in terms of the F&B. Of course you need to have friends to bring you around.

Fun trip overall, hopefully we, as well as an established premier league team makes it an Annual Affair.

Alright, holiday over,
Back to life.

2009-07-16T12:45:00.002+08:00

Am blogging from school feeling like crap. I've half a day os lessons left and i'm really damn tired.

Traininig last night was made. We had to do suicides on the court and after 1 set of it, my legs were quite wobbly but i still managed to pass the 1 minute 20 second passing grade.

Then, we had to do the 2nd set. After that it was completely numb. Somehow i could still play a little bit just that my friend wanted to stop. Good training but certainly i've to get fitter. Was struggling a little bit last night.

Problems brought over to today where my legs are still feeling the effects and am taking a slow stroll from place to place.

Feeling quite excited for the KL trip hopefully i'll get my head down and work hard on the academic, arts and sporting front. Hopefully my batteries will be fullly charged to get me through August.

August will be hectic, damn hectic. Studies, Tennis, Piano and Driving lessons. Is a 18 year old supposed to go through this much? Ah well, no sacrifice no victory.

Ah well...

2009-07-14T22:41:00.002+08:00

Latest developments and confirmed plans.

My flight will be at 5pm on friday departing Changi Airport, Singapore. ETA KL 5.55pm the Man Utd Training will start at 5.30pm.

Obviously, i'm going to miss the training schedule thanks to the dumb lab test. It's such a turn off to get your hands on the training pass and to find out you can't go thanks to the module coordinator.

Ah well, that's life, an extra 123 bucks spent and i'm still on the flight going towards KL for the pre season friendly betweeen Malaysia and Manchester United.

Saturday 11 July 2009

2009-07-11T23:48:00.003+08:00

School has been bullshit. I've a lab test next friday and it coincides with my flight over to KL. Seeing as how i can't get a Leave of Absence to postpone my test and the weightage is heavy to not attend.

The only way is to cancel and then buy another ticket. And that's going to fucking cost. 150 bucks for cancellation penalty and afew hundred bucks for the ticket.

Feeling like a fucking piece of shit.

Wednesday 8th of July 2009

2009-07-08T14:14:00.003+08:00

I reckon i should blog before i head out for piano and tennis later on.

Shock of the day, i passed my Electrical Installation Design. Totally unexpected.

We Singaporeans are so into all this H1N1 situation that we are panicked whenever we hear of a high temperature of a student. This is case number 1.

We were told by our lecturer to tell him our temperature.
Student 1: "36.6"
Lecturer: Looks up and looking shocked "come again?"
Student 1: "36.6"
Lecturer: "Then you better get out"
Whole class looks conflicted
Student 1: "Thirty SIX point 6 leh sir"
Lecturer: "Oh 36.6 don't try and be funny ah, if it's 37.6 you better go and see doctor and apply for Leave of Absence"

HAHA.

Case 2, we Singaporeans are really engrossed into reporting our temperature and that's all we think about.

Lecturer: "Let's ask one of you to answer this question... (Student's name)"
Student 2 raises hand
Lecturer: "Ok what's the answer?"
Student 2: "36.7"
Lecturer looks up from attendance list looking confused "What talking you? what 36.7? Oh Temperature *turns behind and laugh"
Whole class bursts out laughing.

The answer what F3 - F1.

You should've been there to really know how funny it was. It really was a good laugh. haha.

To protect the identity of the students their names will not be divulged but you can ask me and see if i'm in a good mood to tell.

Ok first day of the new term.

Well a new start and hopefully i won't be struggling 1 week before the sessional exams like a couple of weeks back. It's really being in hell, trying to get to heaven.

Skipped my first lesson on the first day of school for driving. Well didn't do very well today made afew stupid mistakes like not stopping in front of the white line not minding the vehicle infront while overtaking, not being able to avoid a stationary vehicle that was dumb, i thought i had that covered and being too fast in corners. Think i really have to drive like a idiot.

The instructor today ain't as cool as the instructor i had the past couple of lessons. Well for 1, he doesn't really speak up and he's really a no nonsense guy. Was trying to have a little chat but he didn't seem as chat-able.

Feel thats very important in today's society. I mean how much chance do you have if you don't speak up and make an impression on your potential customer. So yes please do pluck up your balls and speak up.

I'd like to take a little swipe at racket shopowners these days. When you walk into the shop and they just leave you alone and never seem to make you feel like a valued customer.

If they weren't the only few good and cheap rackets shops around, i shudder to think how their business is going to survive.

All these point towards having a high EQ to be able to survive in the corporate jungle if you can'tget along with people or get along with the right people, high chance you might not be able to keep your job.

Stories from my mum made me feel this way. think it's rather logical so i decided to share them. Do not cross the boss.

Well after a week of exams i think i can safely say that i'm heading for my maiden failed paper this MST.

I should've done enough to secure decent results for Monday's to Thursday's papers and it's only the friday paper that's the wolf amongst the lambs.

So it's Rest and Relax today somehow i really like being at home. It's the most comfortable place on earth don't understand why people enjoy being out of home all the time.

I mean it's the place where you can do whatever you want without being scrutinized. Let's say you want to burp or which ever way you want to excrete gas.

And finally i won't be devoid of my sports. So i'm looking forward to tomorrow's workout.

Catch you guys later goodnight.

Dear readers

I hope lives been good for you and that everyone is steering clear of the H1N1 virus. Drink lots of water and don't spare that few cents on fruits after meals.

I realized that i'm incorporating a habit of having fruits after dinner and maybe that's part of me not getting sick as often as i used to and maybe it helped my acne problem a little.

So in case you don't know, i'm having my Mid Semester Test now and it's times like this that you just feel like doing somethings but you know you've to study. An urge.

Not sex.

It really is hell trying to get to heaven it's just the feeling that's so fucked up. Living in pain. Ah well the feeling will be gone on friday.

Chanced upon an article in the straits times of a dog having only 3 legs and the last leg in half. Yeap, you can only see the bone on that last leg, a little disturbing. Apparently it accidentally stepped on a wild boar trap and ouch it sure is a step to far.

A vet amputated the leg in the end.

Well i might be able to pass my driving as early as i expected. I zoomed past the Basic Theory Test and Final Theory Test within 2 weeks only to get a reality check of getting "jammed" because of the lack of slots.

The earliest that i can take my driving test is Sept 15. But i doubt i'll book it then cause there're no lesson slots available in the whole of July.

Seeing as i have 1 sessional exam and 6 weeks of Industrial Training Programme to cope with during August - October i might make do with a test date in October or end of September.

I don't want to rush to kovan after every 5pm lesson for driving. That'll make me get home when the sun sets everyday from monday - friday. And it's crazy.

Dear friends,

Thanks to those who expressed their concern about my grandfather. I think i should give you guys a little update about him since you guys were so nice to ask about him.

He's fine and is living in a medical home now. This way, we can be assured that he gets maximum care, in terms of medication and meals by the staff there. Cause he wouldn't be as obedient when we're the ones feeding him.

In other news, The Rated R Blogger passed his Final Theory Test yesterday afternoon. It was a good feeling as i was really afraid that i'll have to waste more time to retake it.

Thank you for your time and have a good week ahead.

Posts will be short and sweet cause there ain't much to blog about because i've been staying home facing dead notes.

Well i saw some photographs of the prefectorial board. Mixed feelings i want to be there, but i guess in the end, i'm not fit to be there.

Thomas Edison tried 2000 ways to make a light bulb. But when asked about it he said "i didn't fail" I just found 2000 ways how not to make a light bulb. So you only need to find 1 way that works.

Redemption never felt so great.

Ok i'm going to talk about something that will probably embarrass me a little but what the heck.

I had my first go at the Basic Theory Test and i failed that was on 9th of June. I was in shambles i didn't understand how i failed. Ok imagine this. If i give you a test and the total number of question is 50.

I don't know about you but i presumed the passing mark to be 25. But it turned out to be 45. So half way through the test i got cocky and rushed through every single question without even completely reading the question.

How stupid can i get.

So i was beyond shock when i found out i failed. Just ask Wei Hao. So i raced down to book another slot thank god it was today rather than another week wait. I passed of course. And i made sure i read every single shit.

No this is not a post for you to laugh at me or for me to promote how great i am but it just takes a moment for you to get ahead of yourself. When that happens, you'vve got to know what went wrong adjust it and redeem yourself.

When the word PASSED flashed in front of my screen i felt lighter almost instantly.

At the end of the day, never get too cocky and over confident. Be Merticulous in everything you do, better be safe than sorry.

More Haste, Less Speed.

I hope no one reading this will suffer the same fate as i.

2009-06-08T23:36:00.002+08:00

Hello world i'm back.

To start i'd like to thank everyone who made this year's birthday more of a heartwarming affair than a rowdy party it was a breath of fresh air cause it i realise it doesn't take alot to make a person smile.

Saturday was rather busy, plans for Sentosa had to be altered due to late comers and last minute cases. So 4 of us went to Serangoon Gardens Country Club, my first time there it's pretty nice. Went there for lunch and swim.

Sadly the bowling alleys were fully booked.

So next up is BBQ @ Wei Hao's. Spent the whole night serving but it was still a good time cause i finally get to mingle with my band of brothers. It's been quite some time, it always has.

Sunday a little heavy heart day if you get my drift. My gramps haven't been eating for the last 3 days and we decided to send him to the hospital to let him get some drip cause if you don't know how he's like, he's stubborn and won't listen to us.

Obviously he didn't want to go to the hospital thus we called for an ambulance. Blabla Civil Defence guys came with an ambulance but we couldn't bring him there cause it's against his wishes and CD guys were afraid it'll be a police case where my gramps whack them.

Police came and my bro, a police sgt and 3 CD guys grabbed him, tied him, put him on their little wheel chair thing and sent him to the hospital. Very tough to watch. When they were pushing him to the hospital gramps grabbed the staircase railing.

He didn't want to leave but we didn't have a choice, he doesn't want to eat. We used to be able to communicate but not anymore due to his dementia. And he went to sleep without pants.

If we leave him as it is he'll wither off. He's in the hospital now with fever. I really wonder how he's like and goodluck to the doctor handling him cause i know he'll be a handful.

It's something about family that keeps you bonded thought relations are hostile please, spend time with your family. Even though i knew it'd be best for my granddad to go to the hospital watching him resist against the 5 guys, i got a little red eyed.

My dad did as well, it's really tough to watch.

Can you believe this ?

Oh boy we're just approximately 45 minutes away to me turning 18.

It's a little weird this year because it's a school day and things seem... normal. Just a normal day and the best thing is i've a lab test to prepare for on friday. That suck.

Had training with the school development team, tennis. I thought it'll be a step up and it's going to be a training session that makes you dogged. But it wasn't it was a lot of fundamental work and leaves me unsatified.

Anyway things don't go according to plan just shut up and listen, listening never gets you into trouble as my lecturer said the power of learning is in the power of listening. or something like that.

It's somehow true.

2009-06-02T22:44:00.002+08:00

Well the weekend was pretty sweet the highlight of the week was the Club 21 Bazaar. Boy oh boy the bargains was... wow. I tell ya jackets that were originally priced at 300+ were reduced to 30 dollars flat.

And it all comes with how lucky you are to pick out stuff from the mountain pile of clothes off the baskets or whatever you call them. A lot of work and luck needed but it was sure worth it.

Afterall, we're after LABELS. Armani Exchange, Diesel, DKNY, Calvin Klein, etc... etc.

So while almost the rest of the poly world are having their tests i find myself sitting at home studying at a slow pace and planning my studying schedule for my 3 weeks break before my tests.

It's not looking good cause it's going to be a busy month. Gatherings with friends and having a guest flying in on the 12th and trainings. So if i sit back and say i'll study tomorrow, no worries. I'll really be worried come the end of the month.

At this point of my life, the worst questions that a person can ask you is.

"Got girlfriend already ah?"
"Why no girlfriend?"

Absolutely no idea how to answer.

Tennis training

2009-05-29T23:07:00.002+08:00

Had my first ever tennis training with the SP tennis club it was good. Turning back the time to when i started because everyone learnt from scratch. A forehand groundstroke. It was good practice but i was hoping for a higher level of training.

Anyway i met afew people who'll make great practice partners i love it when i meet a person that's better than me. Simply because i can learn alot from him and playing him, chances are, i'll improve.

Then again, there are some people whom you know are public enemy no.1. You can just feel it, the hostile attitude towards the person. But the guy's been nice to you and when this person does a small action to tick you off.

The situation gets a little tricky. On 1 hand, you acknowledge that his attitude may not be the best and on the other hand you treat him as a friend and he piss you off, just mildly though. What do you do?

Well us humans tend to mix around with the more charismatic people and right now he and i maintain good friends i think that will stay. Because he's actually a nice guy but maybe speaks too much for his own good.

The night's too hot, i need the air-con.

I'm too behind time, i'm studying.

I haven't been on the Tennis court for quite a while i need some trainings.

I slept 3 hrs for the past 24hrs, i need to get to bed.

So many things, too little time. To maximise time, i'mma stop here and continue studying.

Electrical Installation Design's the worst.

Dogs > Cats

2009-05-27T23:24:00.002+08:00

Well because Dogs are smarter. Though it's not scientifically proven, or atleast i do not have the results, i do feel that way.

Well simply because i saw Dead Cats along the main road split in 2. Not a good sight. And when cars run over it, you can see 1 half on the body flipping around. The end product of what used to be something cute.

Cats are cute, really really.

So today as i was about to cross the road, i saw a dog trying to get across. It got on the busy peak hour Upper Serangoon road and when Cars zoomed passed it, it found out that it wasn't the best option and returned "ashore".

So a little experiment set up by nature proves that Dogs are smarter than Cats. So in future if someone calls you a dog, you get back at them and call them a cat.

Haha, the post's totally pointless but it's 100% true witness by my own eyes.

7 days and 30 minutes to 18.

VAMOS BARCA !

2009-05-26T23:54:00.002+08:00

Saw a familiar face from my secondary school days today a friendly familiar face. I saw Mrs Ng, my maths teacher. Had a nice chat as the both of us walked to our respective homes.

She was somewhat disappointed at my GPA which is 3.1 and that she looked as if she expected me to to do much better. The world seems to be like that. I don't know why but it's just something about people expressing their disappointment at you that spurs you on.

Don't you think so? Everytime i think about my Dad, Mum and Mrs Ng or anyone else who feels this way i feel fully charged and raring to go. Me exams are nowhere near but to ensure resplendid results, chiong-ing has to start now.

I really do hope i'm not saying empty words afterall it's always easy to talk. But walking the talk is totally different. Sometimes your mouth writes cheques that you can't cash in.

On a side note, i'm just 9days away from 18 which means registration for VROOOM VROOOOM.

The will of a human being

2009-05-25T23:07:00.003+08:00

I don't know if you guys know about the Divine law anyway, i'm here to tell you.

Do you know why committing suicide is illegal? It is illegal because it is a question of the violation of the divine law, an offense against the dignity of the human person, a crime against life, and an attack on humanity.

Divine law is any law that in the opinion of believers, comes directly from the will of God.

I think that it's a big big waste that a human will want to commit suicide. We've been told all our lives that there ain't a problem too big to handle. I don't know about that cause i haven't met that kind of problem.

What are the problems will force a person to do such a thing? Well i believe that it may be because he's contracted a terminal disease and don't want to be a buden to the family other than that, i just don't know.

Might be financial problems and on top of that, depression. The victim must feel extremely depressed about life and thinking that there's no way out to his/her problems. In my view ther victim ain't strong-willed enough to get through life with gritted teeth.

So this brings me to the point of how important love is. No matter how bitch life can get please remember to love the people around you and love yourself. Don't wallow in self pity because chances are, if you go on you'll get all depressed.

Because when the world turns it's back on you, your family atleast, will not.

I do feel as well that the law should close an eye on victims who are terminally ill and whose family financial statue isn't great.

Because after all, like what i said abotu the abortion post, the law doesn't know how us humans feel. And how tough it is.

It's like Batman. Batman's made of steel but all the fighting does take a toll on Bruce Wayne and one day he'll have to stop being Batman.

On to camp tomorrow.

2009-05-22T23:24:00.003+08:00

Will be going for Freshman Orientation camp tomorrow.

Am hoping to...
Broaden my social circle.
Not feel so homesick and spoil my entire day.
Be able to sleep at night.

Ok i had my Love & Relationships lesson today and the lecturer talked about how 2 complete strangers and meet and fall in love. Let's see... First step was information.

You meet a person and you exchange the usual info e.g. name, course, school etc etc. Next you exchange thinking and opinions and if the chemistry is good you start of exchange feelings.

And when feelings are involved the relationship will escalate rapidly. So if you think all these are bullcrap think again because the guy is a professional. A psychiatrist can't get anymore professional than that.

So try it out, you may be surprised.

The weather is so hot and it makes your body so damn heaty am blogging here with 3 ulcers in me mouth. 1 super big around the right cheek, 1 medium one under the underlip and 1 on the backside of the tongue. Ouch.

Please keep yourselves "cool" by drinking Galleons of Water.

Camp? Er... hold on, let me think about it.

2009-05-21T23:47:00.002+08:00

Will be going for a 2 day 1 night camp over the weekend at SP.

SP tennis club Freshman Orientation camp yeap going into the camp as a freshie. I never liked orientation camps. Because i don't know the people who i'll be camping with. Don't get me wrong i won't have any problems mingling with them.

But to me it's like going out with a bunch a strangers, though they won't be strangers for long but the worst case is to be introvert. And you'll be a loner in the group. That kind of suck.

And if the other camp mates are like that as well, oh boy you're in for a shitty camp. It's not easy breaking out of your comfort zone but sometimes for your own good you have to despite the awkwardness.

For me i feel it depends on my mood there are times when i just want to lie low and follow the crowd and there are times when i'm the one creating the atmosphere. Ah we'll see how it goes hopefully group mates will be fun to be with.

Another point is, when you're in camp you kind of miss home. Ok i kind of miss home because there are a lot of stuff that i can do on my weekends. For e.g, STUDY.

So after all the rantings it's still Saturday 9am, Tennis Courts.

The feel comes and goes

2009-05-20T22:33:00.003+08:00

I keep getting inspirations to blog but when i get down and open blogger i just lose it man. I just lose it. It's gone.

Give me a minute to work it here...

Ok here it goes.

I was down at the Supermarket after piano and i wanted to get a drink. Ice Lemon Tea's usually my choice. And there was this 2 for 1.85 bucks promotion. Naturally, you'll say take it! Value for money.

But i'm more of a note guy. If i can pay with my coins and keep as many notes as i can. So, sometimes i feel we go too far to save that few cents. Really man, i'll end up with 2 bottles for 70c more.

No loss, but i don't need that other bottle.

You can ignore this segment.

23rd & 24th - SPTC camp
24th - Arsenal vs Stoke at Eliz
5th to 8th June - Ray's Visit to SG
Early June - Wei Hao's BBQ

2009-05-16T13:16:00.000+08:00
