Alright, so today's the first day we returned to school after the hectic examination week. Now I very much rather it remain at the examination period. At least, back then the nervousness was always the tentative one, and the fluctuation of mood was an enjoyable one too. At least at the end of the paper was always a relief. Despite the relative ease while doing those paper, today I felt an unexplained stress. Perhaps it was the trauma from the numerous disappointment I had in the past one year despite the confidence level. The higher the hope, the greater the fall. It's indeed very true.First paper that I received was Mathematics. I remembered during the day of that paper, many people were complaining that the paper was hard, but yet I thought it was doable. Hence, I had pretty high hopes for myself except for that few which I couldn't solve. But when the paper came back, I was one of the more in front ones, probably like 10th in class? Around there. Scored 49/83. If it was last time back in secondary, I would have gone emo for days. This result was definitely not satisfiable. But JC taught me to be complacent. Somemore with that amount of work I had put in, this result was already reasonable enough. Hence, first paper was a bit of a disappointment.Second paper was Physics. Thus, after the first paper I was already pretty disappointed. When the Physics paper came back, it was a greater blow. I failed, a high fail. In JCs, we call it a sub-pass. I got 48. Hopefully, the moderation would raise y sub-pass to a pass.Third paper was Chemistry. Miss Tng talked a lot before she gave out the paper. But it wasn't a completed one since one part of it wasn't marked finish. She said there were people who scored really high for mcq, and there were some who scored really low. I was having high hopes since many people basically rushed through the paper due to time constraint, but time seemed pretty abundant for me back then. Despite the scores of disappointment I have accumulated, I decided to place my hope again. And poof!* I scored 19/20, the highest. It felt really good. A familiar feeling which followed me through 8 years, but got lost ever since the beginning of this year. I felt really good. A pleasant deja vu indeed. However, I know it wasn't over just yet. Refer to the entry I posted after I took the Chemistry paper, and you will know that section B was load of crap. True enough, I scored only 7/40 for that section. I'm pinning my hopes all on section C now. I'm hoping for a C for the paper, a target that seem pretty distant now.Today we also had a new Civics tutor, GP tutor and PW tutor. He's Mr Darrell Quek if I didn't remember wrongly. He seemed the easy-to-bully kind from first impression, but appeared to be a easy-to-piss kind after deeper interaction. But that's only the first day so mroe work had to be done=) Term 3 will be a busy, productive plus fruitful and successful term. I will start myself or at least get myself started somehow! Jiayou TiongWei!!!
So until today's afternoon, I've survived through a night and a day without my handset by my side. I felt really uncomfortable, because frankly I haven't parted with my handphone more than a few hours ever since I owned one. But yesterday, perhaps in their rush or perhaps negligence, Theen Yew took my phone home, and I was PISSED! At night, I had a very bad tummy ache. I think I'm infected by the scholars' hostel virus. Felt really bad. Last night, I slept at 5 in the morning. This morning, Joel called at 0750 to wake me up. It was really a struggle. On one side was the temptation to sleep, the other was the guilt for not going for so long, and of course the unpleasant feeling for missing out so much. But I remembered Joel told me that laziness can be controlled, and I got the tendency to link temptation to devil's talk. Devil's preventing me to go for something which is bound to benefit me. Like what many seniors said about me, they though I was egoistic. Frankly, I am=). So how could I lose to devil, how could I ever give in. I'm not that weak, am I? Thus, I picked myself up and bathed, took cyclops with the bible Joel and family got me, and left the house. Another defact of a handphone-less me was that I lost track of time mostly, if not entirely. And the constant fear was that I thought I was late all the time, but I reached them 10 minutes early, panting.Service was fun. I read up a little of the Genesis book on the bus, quite interesting. Today we sang again, and we talked about the controversies of Christianity and the destiny after death? Like even a non-christains can go to heaven if he/she perform the deeds that are intended by the sovereign one. These kind of things, very interesting. I like the songs a lot!Today I didn't go for youth though. I was really tired due to the deprivation of sleep. It's coming back again, the lack. Thus, I went home first. Slacked a little, and left for project work meeting. We were supposed to meet at Paya Lebar. I didn't like that place very much because it's just so unfair to us. To compromise to one member who doesn't really do things, all the other four have to go to her house area. It's really unfair isn't it? Didn't mean to rant arh, but ever sincew she pit herself against me during the last meeting, I was already very offended. I mean it's really obvious. I chose the role first and after like 5 seconds she said she wanted to take that role then I told her I said I want it and she pretended as if she didn't hear and wrote her name down. That was like obvious, wasn't it? Offended badly , but shall learn to forgive and forget. I wonder if mercy is my gift=)That's basically it for today bah. Nothing much else...
Today's the much anticipated JTS's execution. Ok, maybe much anticipated for most, but not as much for me? Because it was a little last-minute and and chaotic for the planning? But never mind, it turned out perfectly fine and nice and I think the seniors enjoyed themselves, which was the best reward for all the hard work- accomplishment.We were supposed to meet at 1230 in school in PE attire, and I only woke at 1150. I was late, but it got worse when I wanted to print the proposal for them to refer to if needed and the desktop lagged. Thus, I only managed to get there at1310. They were having lunch at the hawker centre there, so it wasn't that bad. I didn't have mine though. After that, we went to Pasir Ris to prepare our stuffs. A group of people was at Mat's house to prepare the Tang Yuan, a smaller group buying their presents, and our group did the logistics and prepare some game stuffs. Theen, Fang, Zen, Crystal and me=) We strolled there from the train station. I thought it was nice walk, though few agreed and some even complained=P We decided to play a while at the playground. It was really a while- like 10minutes, before I went to help Zen and Theen with the water balloons, and Crys followed closely a while later. It was fun filling the balloons. My first time using that pipette-sucker-like thing to fill, and yet I grasped it well. Being in water is always the most relaxing and all the time the best place to be. I love beaches, but today ain't that high somewhat.Zen stood out most because he worse long pants- the school one, something no one would wear to a beach, and definitely not a casual wear. He got his pants really wet by the way.
When the seniors came, it was the start of the show! We had this water balloon captain's ball which apparently was a chaos. Half the balloons we prepared were already smashed before the game even started. Eventually, it only escalated into a water bomb session where everyone smashed everyone. Amazingly, nothingness still took 40 minutes despite all the mess. After that we had this silent library thing and I was like the in-charge. Actually it was me and Shiyan but since she did the cards already, I thought I might want to do the briefing which was bad. I don't know why but today was just not a 'briefing day' for me and I stammered and all which was really bad. Though in the end, it got better. But that was not important. We had our dinner at the beach. That really cut off a great portion of ME, if I were money. Nevertheless, the experience was memorable. I'm beginning to like the beach more. My all-time favorite venue, despite the constant threat of getting wet. I didn't, don't, won't really mind though. I had this seafood baked rice which was nice! Yum yum! Then I had the desert, 3-flavored sundae. I had coffee, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream. They were nice too, but desert was never my stuff. The presenting of the fake present was awkward. I could sense that theywere like so excited, but when it turned out to be just a pair of socks, for my case it's only a sock, I saw disappointment. Haha, I didn't really know how to face them after that. It was really bad, even when I knew it was only a fake. My direct senior is good! She got me a billabong pencil case, something which I need and wanted for so long=) Like it a lot! Thanks yea! But that only made me feel worse! Lol.On a lighter note, there was this marriage going on by the beach. The groom was driving the motor boat on the water with the bride behind him. It was really nice, but a little off what I've aspired mine to be like. I told you before, didn't I? And ya, it changed a little. I realise that all, if not most, girls like simple weddings don't they. Zul said that, and I think the girls agreed too. Opps sorry, I overheard=PThat aside, I'm able to tie knots with cherry stalks, knot to be exact. Successful trials included Zul, me, Wanning, Ashwin, and Gelin. Saw people trying that numerous times, but this was the first time doing it. Really nice, felt like I was kissing the cherry stalk=P Haha, the double knot was hard though. Never managed to succeed. Then it was the surprise. Held Zul's hand to guide her there. Seemed a pretty long journey, especially when they are so blinded. Took around 5 minutes I guess. I fed her TangYuan, something which contained much memories for the 15th and 16th Alpha. Had great fun playing the sparklers, I can tell. Picture will tell the rest I guess:It was a great day I admit, but when things bring back memories, nice ones particularly, and when you don't possess them anymore, it's hard to enjoy, much less have fun. To be frank, I didn't have the best of time there. Beach, sparklers, ice cream, baked rice, night sky, stars, and many many things. It's really hard to let go, perhaps impossible. Nevertheless, am glad that the seniors enjoyed=)
27th June 2008JCTs are finally over. Today we had mathematics and I was feeling super bad in the morning. The night before I did not sleep at all because it was Spain against Russia in the semi-finals for Euro, and the day before I slacked that much--> (refer to previous entry). Hence when dawn breaks, the sleeping devil was already approaching me with tens of thousands of gold bars, luring me to lala land. Hence, on the bus to school I slept, in the school's atrium I also slept. Bao was feeling restless too, so she suggested going for a walk round the school's track. Initially, I rejected that offer, but after a while I decided to go. I thought she really wanted to go and didn't want to like disappoint (if that's the word?)- that's for one. The other reason would probably be that I'm drifting away by an inch for each second I remained in that position trying to recap some formulas. The paper was ok I thought. At least comparatively, it's already much better than Chemistry. At least, I had the luxury of time to ponder over and do each question slowly. It really helped a lot. But sleeping devil's not relenting either. I remember got this question where I differentiate x and get x for the answer, which was a super stupid mistake. Luckily it was a proving question and I didn't get the answer immediately. Thus, I looked back and tried again and it took me a while to realise too. Relieved* At least JCTs are over now, and I could do most of the paper, which was a really great sense of accomplishment. Last time, these were a norm bit now I've to work so hard for it. Not exactly very hard compared to many, but already very hard compared to the almost stress-free life in Secondary schools and inarguably, Primary schools.At noon, I had a 'date' with F.F- 1. Bobo was unable to make it. I met them at Tampines Mall's Mcdonald's. To be exact, I met Joel first, followed by Jolyn, then the Auntie Grace, then the latter two left, followed by the arrival of Dage, and finally bao. I didn't really like the place where I watched the movie. Cineleisure if I'm not wrong. Partially it's because it's one of the few cinemas where I went with my exex. And also it's not a particularly nice mall, at least not my type. It only got worse when we got into the cinema because the reverberations were damn bad. I don't understand their rationale for this, but the sounds lingered in the place for a little too long, and that was really bad, unhealthy in a sense.. My heart started racing even way before the movie started. We watched The Happening, though I would very much prefer to watch Hancock, but apparently it was not released yet. That show was ok though, except that it's a little gruesome and the flow of the story was pretty chunky. Otherwise, fine.After that we went to take Neos. It was the second time after that time. Some memories came back. Photos:After that they accompanied me to Boon Keng to collect my MS office 07. It's a free gift from the purchase of my laptop during the holidays. By the way, it's a month old already I guess=P Just being random...Then we took bus 21 home, and I regretted after it. The sleeping devil came back again, but when I woke up I was like we haven't reached? The ride was more than an hour, a super long ride that was not in any sense a nice one. Thus, in the end I overshot Tampines Mall and had to go to the hassle of going an extra mile back to Tampines on train from Pasir Ris to get the JTS gift. It was super late and lazy for me, but still I searched the mall. I'm diverting my like for mini toons to precious thoughts already! They sell really cute stuffs. I like the new series of doggy stuffs! The mouse toy, the keyboard armrest, the banker etc. The dog series is damn nice! Love them all. I remembered I got her the calender one the previous time to have that special date paused. I hope it still is=)At night when I finally reached home, I turned my computer on willingly, and did my part of the JTS proposal reluctantly. Actually Shiyan was the one who did most after she came on I think=) I slacked and dozed off while doing it after she went off. But apparently I didn't come up with anything constructive despite staying up until 2+. That's all I have for the 26th I think. Until then, ciao and god bless!
Ever since I've entered JC, Chemistry has been the only subject that managed to retain my interest in it. It's the subject that I'm able to understand the concept wit much ease and the only subject that evokes my interest every now and then. But application of the knowledge had not been as successful. Today all the year 1 TJC-ians took their first major Chemistry exam and it was really bad. The paper was 2.5 hours long, but the 20 MCQs were supposed to be completed within the first 30 minutes and by the end of it, the examiners would go down the aile to collect it, while the students continued to struggle with the ever so hard sections B and C. B was the essay question, so I decided to go for the thicker section C consisting of the structured questions. I thought it would carry a heavier percentage, but there were the same. I didn't regret making the decision to skip to C first. The flow was good, except that I dwelled too long over a question which I got stucked in. Hence, in the end I couldn't really have sufficient time to complete my sectoion B. Good grace that I didn't panick. In fact I was pretty calm despite all the adversities that were coming my way. I remember my sentiments then, "I will just try to complete whatever I can finish within the remaining time. I will give the long answers ones a miss first, and go for the ones I've greater confidence in." At least I was able to retrieve the necessary information from my brain compartment where they were needed. I knew I hadn't given in my best yet, but I'm rather satisfied with how I've reacted during the test. After all, pastor Steven told me that we learn more than what is already in the syllabus when we work hard and study for something. These are the values of education. During the process, we work hard and earn something that our amount of work is deserved. I used to think that the things we learn now are redundant and inapplicable in our future life, but not anymore.At noon, I went to Bao's house. Joel and Daniel came at a later time because they had their mother tongue paper in the noon. Throughout the entire day, I only manage to read through a little of the answers to last year's JCTs. I was playing FM at other time. When Joel and Dage came, we even played mahjong. We are the most imba students who play mahjong a day before JCTs.=P Tomorrow I'm probably going out with F.F to catch the Happening, though I'm not very keen on that show. I would very much prefer to watch the Hancock, but too bad it's not released yet.Until the next time, all the best and God bless!

Like what was written in Joel's as well as Bao's blog, second day is finally down, so is our third paper. Today, we had geography while the economics students took their paper too. Bao and me left for school really early, probably on the first bus. When we reached school, we decided to have a light breakfast from Tema-snack. Wheat food are not for sale until next week when normal schooling finally resumes. Hence, I could only have a burger. It tasted not bad with that cheese, though I would very much prefer rice stuffs. Then we spent the morning at the atrium doing some last minute revision, where bao panicked a bit for forgetting to bring tie, but later realise that there's no official assembly today.Geography paper was relaively average for me. Although I don't do well most of the time despite feeling the same ease when doing the paper. Until now, I've already known some mistakes which I've committed for the paper. I reached home at around 11 in the morning as I only had one paper today, and started playing Cabal in an attempt to sooth the stress level. I didn't feel very stressed up though. At noon, I went to have a nap and only woke up at 6 in the evening to take my dinner. After that I've been trying to recap whatever I've revised for chemistry for the past one week. Many information seemed to be already displaced by other information of other subjects, particularly Geography, but after hours of studying, I think I managed to retrieve most? By the way, I studied all the way until 12.30, an amazing 6.5 hours of intense mugging.Tomorrow's Chemistry, and followed by Mathematics on Friday before everything comes to an end. On one side, I wanted this to end very much so that I won't have to be pressed for time anymore. On the other, I don't want it to end so fast because I was afraid that I might not be able to let go of what I might thought that I've already did. Anyway, good luck to everyone on everything.God bless...
Today's tuesday. After a tremor from yesterday's killer General Paper 2, we had a short one-day break today before resuming the nightmarish geography paper 2. Geography at JC level is kind of crazy. For days, I've taken up the notes and worksheets, stared at them for a while, and decided to put it aside for other subjects first. Yes, I don't know how to study since there is no distinct partition within chapters. It's just so vague. But today I knew I had to take it out and negotiate with the subject. I've to let myself accept it in order to survive the following one year. This morning I was supposed to jog to Joel's house together with bao. However, when morning came, I decided that I wanted to sleep more. Yes, holiday's just not enough. I wanna sleep more! So at 10+, Joel called me to wake me up. After bathing, I decided to jog a short distance to bao's house. The entire afternoon was spent there studying geography, the much loathed subject, for now. It was a listless and at time restless afternoon. Concentration span was unusually short, but I pulled through somehow. During which I pulled Joel's hair for fun to drain the excess energy which made me restless. At around 5.30, we stopped studying. Joel had finished by then though. We had dinner and after that stayed around for a while to watch some TVB drama, only parts of it. Then we set off home. I decided to take bus today since I have concession for bus fare already. Geography is madness. Good luck to everyone in everything!!!God bless!
Today's the first day when school reopens after June holidays as well as the first paper of JCTs. I left house early, to meet bao at TPJC bus stop and went to school together with her. In F.F, I think I'm closest to Joel, then followed by bao already=). In school, we waited at the atrium for the paper to begin, and Kah Chin came to join us soon after. He cut the hairstyle of a monk, very nice to stroke. First paper was Physics, half an hour longer than what was stated in the time table, but who cares. Comparatively, the number of questions I knew how to do seem to be more than the ones I don't know how. Thus, should be a pass? However, high expectation gives hard falls. Therefore, I shall copy bao's entry for today- physics was ____. Shall fill the blank when results are out. But frankly, I feel that I should be able to score a C or D grade for this test, despite a handful of mistakes.Noon, we went to Long John Silver to have lunch. The new set meal tasted ok- the drumlets weren't exactly nice though. But I like the small chicken popcorns. They're well-seasoned with pepper. Yum yum! After that we went back to school to sit for our second paper of the JCT- General Paper. The essay was alright I thought. I chose question 8- religion is irrelevant to the age of science. Is this a fair statement? If it was nice time, I would have stood by Science. However this time, my stand changed. I supported religion.Faith said that was because I've a change in belief=). The second paper was not as good though. All I notice was that all the people around me were complaining about how killer paper 2 was, and how hard to understand the passage was. After that, I saw baohui, and decided to go home together with them. The art students have to collect their work and receive comments. Hence, we waited for them- F.F minus 3 bonding session. Bao and me sat at the 'starbucks' area and chatted for like 2 hours? Talked about er sao=). Then all of us went off at around 6.45. Along the way, they snacked a lot, while the obedient me manage to refrain myself from all those temptation of unhealthy delights. I'm good=)On the way home, we continued to chat, and when I was about to go off, I actually whacked an uncle's head by accident and he was like stunned. *giggle*=PWednesday's geography paper and economics for some. Jiayou F.F, we shall go for scholarship together=)Tomorrow morning I'm going to jog with bao to Joel's house. Estimated distance is approximately 3 km. It's a much anticipated excercise since I haven't been doing one since the House Committee camp.

Sunday, June 22, 2008
Today's morning wasn't the best way for a day to begin with. I was woken up by my sister at around 8 because she was so intimidated by a strange phone call, which caller doesn't talk or according to her, make strange noises. Grumpily, I scurried out of my comfy bed, and stomped towards the house phone, only to realise that the caller was Joel. He has called to wake me up. Strange noise? It was due to the poor clarity due to the condition of the house phone, as well as the erm.. poor connection? Then, I went back to my room and took a look at my handphone- 26 missed calls. I think 14 was from Joel's handset number, while the rest from his house phone. He must have tried so desperately. Apology, but for some reason, my phone was on silent mode when I saw it. Apology again. Byt even when he called my house, I couldn't wake up. It was my sister who got scared and all. Immediately after that, I went to take a shower, and became really paranoid when thoughts of all sorts struck my mind. Today's the last day of holidays, and tomorrow's the beginning of exams.Worst of all, I'm taking two papers tomorrow. The fact that I've not yet finished studying, didn't make things better. Alright, I've actually finished all the revision, but I'm still very unsure of myself, my capabilities. Tired, I knew that if I attend the service today, I would definitely collapse once I return home. That means I would not have enough time to recap whatever I've revised during the past one week. Deliberating all the possible consequences, I decided to give it a miss. It's really bad to go against the words you have promised someone, but I've got more pressing things. Thus, I gave Joel and clone a message to ask for understanding, and asked Joel to apologise on my behalf, then went back to sleep. By the time I woke up again, it was by Joel's call to ask me to deliver his notes to him. It was bad on my part to have brought his notes home yesterday by mistake. Made him unable to study for the test last night. Thus, I left my house, and set off to Tanah Merah, somewhere that used to be so familiar to me. But luck wasn't on my side. At my secondary school area, I realise I brought the wrong bag. I've put Joel's notes in cyclops, meaning I've to make a u-turn. Total journey took me approximately 1.5 hours? The entire afternoon, I dozed off again, and started revising after I woke up. Although I've finished all the revision, but I'm still pretty scared. Perhaps because I've not practised enough? But anyway, I feel that I'm adequately equipped already. Let's hope I'll be able to make a twist to my JC results tomorrow. Good luck to myself and F.F and everyone. God bless=)
This morning I woke up to discover that my phone has died on me, or at least feigned death. I remembered last night I typed this message and left the phone on my tummy like What I do really often. Sleeping in the living room's real comfortable, I like floor. When I woke up, it was already 8 I think. Despite my mood improving each day, my appetite's still pretty bad. So I didn't have much for breakfast, just a few bites of noodles? Back to my phone, I tried to turn on my phone, but there wasn't even light. Then when I opened it up, Joel said the battery might have leaked, meaning my phone was probably spoilt. So the entire day, I only got to message once using Joel's handphone, and Joel told me that the person didn't reply, which made me pretty depressed. Pastor Steven came at around 9, and I went down with him for a walk. He's really intelligent, the way he planned what he said, the analytical skills, the comforting words. He's really a cool guy! =) And ya, thanks for the words, they really hit me hard, and I realise a lot of things=) *~bang~bang~bang~bang*!Back at home, I was still pretty depressed, and headache struck at the wrong time. I dozed off on the table, and woke up woth my eye tearing. It's really bad, but at least I didn't cry this time. After I woke up, I played FM and won a second consecutive treble for Valencia=) Aunty Grace talked to me about the Gospel halfway, and ya another striking teaching. I really learn a lo. Guys, don't worry about me anymore. I'm strong, and the future's waiting for me! 4 years' not that long, so I will be right here waiting for you=) <3After that, me and Joel set off for my house. I've invited him over for steamboat. Invited bao too, but she can't make it. You missed out on all the fun and nice food man, meimei=P Then, me and Joel cabaled a bit. I taught Joel some skills from playing Diablo2, since they are like similar games. Jiayou Joel. At 8, he finally left. That marked the end of the F.F. meet up this time? Hm. Really enjoyed you guys' company, thought it would have been better if something had not happened. Thanks for staying by me. Thank you a lot=)
Yesterday I spent another day at Joel's house. Somehow, I manage to sort it out already. Situations are changing for the better?
In the morning, Joel came over to my house to supposedly wake me up, though I've already woken up by then. I looked in the mirror in the morning and was shocked to see me in such a vad state. My lips were as pale as my skin. That's really bad. When I went down with Joel, he told me that he bought me breakfast, and I guess that made up 90% of the conversation we had on our way there. It was a quiet journey. I was still very sad. At bao's house, Joel gave me one of the puffs which he got for free from the purchase he did for the other puff. I did not have any appetite. In fact, ever since then, I haven't been eating very well. Thus, the morning was kind of dazed, until bao featured a movie for us to watch- I'm Legend, by Will smith. It's really nice! Ranked 3rd in my movie ranking:
1st: Accuracy of Death (memories)
2nd: The day after tomorrow
3rd I'm Legend
4th. Lord of The Ring
Shall not elaborate much on the details, except that Joel said that his heart was racing as the movie progressed. I felt it wasn't that bad though=P Sandi got small gall=P. After that, I tried to study a little but couldn't really focus. All the way until evening when Joel has to leave for Service, we stayed at bao's house, had dinner there. At 7, when we finally bid farewell, I went to have a haircut before the school reopens. I wouldn't want someone to come after me at the first day of school. Gosh, that's such an omen, isn't it?
Something interesting happened at the salon. As always, I was perspiring non-stop, when I reached the salon. Went in, said m request, and was arranged to sit at the seat at the far end/corner of that place, the most isolated from ventilation, which made me sweat even more -_-". So when the cutting begun, I felt really bad that the guy has to wiped my sweat for me (unintentionally of course, like just swipe past?) when he cut my hair. So guilt creeped in me, to a point that I decided that, "heys, it's enough!" So I asked him to halt for a while, while I wiped my sweat. At first, he looked a bit stunned, and was followed by some bemusement. I'm an interesting customer!=) Then got this short conversation with him until when the haircut finally stopped not long later. Set home after that, and went to use the desktop becaus sister was using laptop. Forgot what I did online though. I think I posted in the other blog?
At 11.30 when Joel's cell finally ended, he came over to fetch me to his house for a stay-over. I love staying over at his house, bao's house also not bad=). He called me only like 10 minutes before reaching, and made me rush like nobody's business. When I finally got myself all ready, and his call still hasn't come, I thought I still had time. Nevertheless, I still jogged a little, with that two huge bulky bags, one on each side. Finally, when I was at the traffic light, about to cross, I decided to call him, he said that his godpa's car has already reached the bus stop on the other side. My reaction? What the!!! So this time, I really sprinted all the way there. And on the car, I panted all the way until we reached Joel's house. I should start exercising already.
At night, we played the computer all the way until 2.30. Didn't study at all=P We are bad=P
Last night, I got some assurance too, which made my day so much. This might not be the ending, but rather, a start of an improved phase. I'm really gonna work hard for the best and attain unconditioned love, the greatest love on earth. Just a bit more assurance, and I'm there to devote myself=). I will walk with you more, in every wake of my life=)
Two days ago wwas a really bad day. After returning from Joel's house, I was left on my own again. Loneliness is really scary, especially when one is so much haunted by that constant fear to lose someone you cherish so much in your life. Therefore that day, I left early. It was a sleepness night. I slept at 6 and wake up at 7, the impossible on the norm days. But I'm losing sleep.By the time I reached bao's house, Daniel and Bo were already studying there. For a moment I managed to forget about the unhappy things. But when we conversed, and the usual teasing comes in, memories were evoked, and my mood nose-dived to the worst. Cried a little, to myself. I think only bao notice. The entire day, my mood was having roller-coaster fluctuations, ups and downs, very dynamic. Baobao cooked for us that day. Fried rice, but I saw her walk here walk there. Haha, then we teased her say is her aunty cook one. We know is she cook one though. Tasted pretty nice=) Not bad arh, F.F got a cook at home le. At night, Bobo and Joel decided to walk me home because I was so quiet. I was feeling really bad then, so I asked them to take the bus, so that I can walk alone. But they were worried, so they insisted. And halfway, scenarios of the past months came back, the familiar walk under the stars, in the dark sky. And that was my limit. I could not take it anymore then, and I broke down. Cried all the way as I walked home=(
I woke at 12 today after dozing off at 6.10. I was waiting for the a reply in my phone which apparently came only ten minutes after I dozed off. When I woke up, Joel told me that I had placed my entire leg on him last night, meaning despite me sleeping on the floor, one of my legs had somehow flew up to the couch. Like what he mentioned in his bog, I know martial arts!So the entire morning, I saw Joel walking around the house, and baobao mugging as always. As for me, I played a bit of minesweeper and a bit of fm, and of course observed them. Joel has a very cute family=) Afternoon, we went for lunch. Had it at the same place, but I ate this time round. The food didn't taste as good as I would expect them to be. Joel and baobao's share didn't taste good too. Then we had bubble tea and went back up. I managed to cover a test paper this time round. Not much tough. Then I waited for baobao to finish her game of hearts and minesweeper before setting back home with her. At the bus stop, I swopped one of my slippers with Joel, and didn't swop it back. It looked really weird, but that's my way of expressing how highly I take this friendship bah. For the sake of it, I'm willing to face all embarrassment? Something like that. But it looked really weird. Back at home, I had fried rice for dinner. Bathed and dozed off all the way until 10 when the crude truth was revealed. I cried again, and it was really painful. Thanks baobao and Joel for allowing me to confide in you all and listening to my rants. But ya, I've gotten over it, within an amzingly short two hours. I've sort it through. I will pick myself up, and make myself a better person, so that two years later I will be able to regain what I believe to be mine, and hopefully by then I'm good enough to be the other half... My promise- I will never give up.Forever love is true!
Hm... To people whom cared and worried for me, I would like to apologise and at the same time express my greatest gratitude to you all. It was seriously very well-appreciated. Especially to my best pals, Joel and Baohui. f.f shall live forever. You guys really rocks. All the physcal company and mental support. Thanks a lot, deeply from my heart.Yesterday I went to Joel's house to study, and decided to stay over. Perhaps I should have guessed it. After all the confidance I gave them the previous night, that must have worried them stiff. The next morning, not exactly morning. It was already 11 when Joel called. He invited me over to his house to study. A bit surprised since I thought his mom would need to rest. I gladly accepted the invitation because I really wanted to get out of the lonesome, to the warmth of my friends' presence. So I left early and reached Joel house at 11.30 a.m. I felt really bad then, was in the deepest grievance in my life. Didn't really talk, even when Aunty Grace talked to me, I also merely manage to entertain with a smile. Sorry for all the silence, yea? I was feeling the worst of my life. A while later baobao came. And we mugged all the way, until around 2 in the afternoon when they decided to go for lunch. We walked a short distance before reaching the foodcourt. I saw many nice food and my stomach was already growling even before we went down. I bet baobao heard the rumbling in my stomach too bah. But at the foodcourt, despite the hunger I refused to eat. My mouth didn't feel like eating. My guess? I think because the sorrow in my heart was so great that I just wanted to find some other greater pain in order to numb it? That's how hot water works for spiciness isn't it? So I just skipped my lunch, and gastric really set in. A piece of advice, torturing yourself doesn't help at such time, because when the sorrow is so great, the pain in your stomach is really negligible. In fact, I didn't even suffer from the gastric. Hence, until evening when I had my dinner, my only energy source was a cup of bubble tea. In the afternoon, my friends' company somehow managed to get me out of all the negative thoughts. Baobao and me decided to spend the night over at Joel's house. She said I became not as moody when Joel's granny came, though I didn't notice that myself. After that, me and baobao went home to have our dinner and bathe and collect our stuffs. Despite not eating for the whole day, I almost puked when I had my dinner. The sorrow was really affecting me a lot I guess. Struggling, I transferred some files to my laptop and set off to meet baobao before heading back to Joel's house together. I waited for half an hour! Back in the house, Joel told us that his sister had gone to the aunty's house for the night. Sorry if we had disturbed your family, yea? So, the entire night, baobao studied a lot, Joel studied a bit, and I was pretty dazed. All the way until 2 in the morning. Baobao and me had wanted to stay up through the night, but to no avail. At 2, I felt a little hungry and the 3 of us cooked together for the first time. Actually I only ate, they did the cooking. The instant noodles were really bland, but it tasted better after getting use to the taste. Besides that, we also had some Siewmai and the two of them shared a big bun. Chatted a bit and managed to find out that the two pigs like to eat basically everything. My turn to call you all pigs.After that I watched Euro France vs Italy with Joel but Jel fell at half match. Baobao played minesweeper while we watched. But when I got back into the room to wake Joel, he's already asleep. I woke him up and he came to the living room and slept on the couch. When we came out, baobao was too sleeping on the other couch with her notes all over her head. I decided to play a little of football manager, all the way until around 6 when Aunty Grace woke up and offered to make me a hot drink, which I declined politely=) After that I went to sleep on the third and last couch in the living room, but decided to sleep on the floor because it was so hot.
Today's the beginning of the last week of holidays. After that, hopefully the busy school life would keep me occupied and away from all these troubles for a while, until I'm able to pick myself up and move on?I woke up this afternoon and switched on my new lappy again. It's one day old already. Happy birthday my lappy, and happy birthday someone's lappy. I spent around 40 minutes transferring the files in my desktop over, and saw some really beatutiful memories I had in the past few months. It was only then that I realise that videos carry so much more meaning than a stiff photograph. It's really amazing to see the old scenes reenacting themselves. A normal seawave, cutting of birthday cake, filming of footprints, all the memories of 5 months ago, where things begun. Rewatching the video times and times again, all the memories relived in my brain. How beautiful...

For the first time in my entire life, I felt the greatest amount of solemn. The feeling of greyness, the kind of thoughts that made your imagination run boundrylessly wild, I broke down yesterday. I stared into the blank ceiling as if it was some kind of great art piece, but my eyes were as blank as anything you could think of. I was deeply hurt, one way or the other. But the cause of that feeling was some lack minor lack of assurance, which escalate to what it is now. I'm engulfed in sorrow. Just at the back of my throat I could feel the stuck, the sour kind, the one people experienced when they cry. I'm at my limits now. It's never embarrassing to admit that you cry, because people cry when they are really sad. I did last night, and I just did too...This morning I really wanted to go to the service. After four months of skipping, I really thought I want to go today. But the struggle I had last night landed me exhausted, really exhausted. The mental kind of exhaustion, where you don't feel like thinking of anything. Staring at the ceiling, I finally dozed off in the morning.In the afternoon, dage asked me to go to the IT fair at the exhibition hall in Suntec. I met up with him at Simei. Going out with friend allowed me to have an escapade from the troubles I had, for a while. The entire mall was really packed, especially at the area of exhibition. We collected many brochures from the different different booths, and found an area to do some comparison. In the end, I decided to buy a compaq laptop. It's pretty nice. My laptop has the same birthdate as someone's laptop. Exactly same year, same month, same day.At home, the feeling came back again, and I fell into the grey world...
Last day-break camp.
After last night's movie marathon, all the people woke up pretty late today, except for that few early birds who had to wake up early. I woke at 9.30 though. Not too bad yea? Last day of camp is always like the most boring one. The entire morning was spent slacking I thought. Played numerous rounds of cards with different people, then went for lunch, and played cards again. After that was mass clean up, and my group had to clean the toilets, the last place I would ever want to clean. But Alvin was the one doing most of the job though. Partly because there was only one pipe, no mop and no nothing. Although majority of the reason that I, as well as Jocelyn and Abigail, was to put off by the clean-toilet mentality. Thanks Alvin, our help were really negligible, and Alvin was like doing the job alone. =( I'm feeling guilty. Alvin's the best! Alvin's a nice guy=)
After that we had our last game- the Polar Bear at the English Congregation's room I think. Their version of Polar Bear included hunters, bears, Guru and commoners, a little different from the one I knew. The storyteller didn't tell the story well enough that the game became a little messed up. Otherwise it was pretty fun. After that we had a mass photo taking session before breaking camp. Small Jason and me went to play soccer at the street soccer court at the far end. I only wanted to stay back 10 minutes since I had an appointment after that, but the appointment was canceled. We left early anyway because Jason's friends decided to stand him up, and Joel was waiting for me to board the bus with him, or rather it's the other way round.
That's basically rounded up the whole camp...
The second day. We had to wake up at 8 the next morning. Despite me sleeping only at 4, I managed to pull myself out of the sleeping bag on time. That was such an unusual case for me who always oversleep. Joel then suggested that I can only wake up if I sleep over. And ya, he complained about me kicking him at night, but I seriously didn't feel it. I swear=PThat day's event begin with another Nooma's sharing. This time the video was about this man who kept walking down the road. It's about answering prayers- why- why God answer some prayers but not others, or rather say no to others. It's an interesting discussion. Pastor Steven opened the question to the floor, and kept the more senior group to the last so that all the others could share their perspective. My case was a little awkward since I was like the only one who is pretty ignorant about Christianity in that group which consists of Joel, Sarah, Aerial, and Alvin. It was all up to them=P This topic was more interesting, but the previous video was more interesting. Pastor Steven suggested to me that I can be frank with God, and asked Him about my doubts in prayers, pretty much in a confronting way, but it's not confront, just seeking out the truth. It was pretty constructive. But before the conversation was over, it was interrupted, and I think he forgot about it, so it didn't continue anyway. After that, we set off for our food trail. First stop was at Sempang which had it's own interesting story there. At first the boss of that Indian Prata stall seemed pretty passionate to serve us as I think he thought we were big customer since there were like 24 of us flooding in at the same time. Funny part- 12 of us actually shared only 3 pratas, addition to that, we asked for 3 curry and two extra plates. The red dragon drink was even funnier, because there were only two cups and we actually asked for 12 straws=PThe rest of the day was spent at Changi Village/beach. My lunch was a bit of everything and I was already full by then. At the beach we had this sandcastle building competition where my group won (shall get the photos from Joel real soon). After that we played Ice-and-Water, where I became the member of the other group because I went to the toilet when my group was ice, and we won again=). However, no one wants the prize as it was a sand-bath on the beach. I didn't mind though. Hence, I was the only on buried alive at the end. It was a nice experience, pretty comfortable. (shall take the photos as well).Towards evening, we had Barbecue. Me, Alvin and some of the BB boys did the "BBQ pit"- start up the fire and did the grilling of food. Small Jason was really good with the chicken wings, and Pastor Steven seemed really pleased. I was pleased too, as I seemed to be able to set up the fire better each time=) Accomplishment. I had a chicken wing, a hotdog, and 3 marshmallows for dinner. I think Alvin had pretty much the same amount too. Orhs, and I had a bowl of campbell's clam soup as well=) We finally stopped work at around 8. I chatted with Jolyn, Joel and Sarah at the mat by the side. The stars were really nice, good complement for the moon=). We played a bit of monkey after that and set off back to school later. The night's bathing experience was not enjoyable as I had to use bucket and bathe in a toilet cubicle (not the shower head kind, but with a toilet bowl). The first thing I wanted to do when I entered that cubicle was to get out quickly. That was how dislike I was towards that cubicle. After that, we played some cards, and had our movie marathon. First movie screened was Shutter, followed by Mr bean. But I dozed off halfway while when the turkey exploded. =) That's all for day 2.

Two more posts to go. Thursday was camp day. I set my alarm and got a few wake-up messages arranged so that I wouldn't be late since the reporting time was at 10.30. But I think my mom switched them all off before she left house. That really drove me crazy since I had to hurtle around to get things done. The unpacked camp bag made things worse. So I was basically digging through the cupboard for my camp necessities. After all the rushing, I was finally in the reporting area (third floor counseling centre) 3 minutes before time. Phew. We were divided into two groups before the event was sparked off. I was in the same group with Alvin, whom became my best companion for the next few days since Joel was one of the organisers and couldn't accompany me. Thanks Alvin, on Joel's behalf, as well we my own behalf. The first game was some chair-crossing game. We lagged at first, caught up halfway, got delayed, became on par, and lost finally, because I couldn't reach the slippers. It was fun though. After that we had captain's ball, but Deqi was so tall and a really good defender. I tried a few long throws, but all intercepted. It was still fun. Then we had mummy, and ice and water. Special emphasis for ice-and-water, since many of us got hurt while playing. We played it at the street soccer court, most of us barefooted. In the end I got a cut at my toe and a sprain in the other foot, Faith got a cut on her foot, and Alvin hurt his knee. Joel, apologise to us! You decided to play it on the court despite opposition from me wor. F.F, must scold san di liao=P But despite that, ice-and-water was fun. After that was a sharing about Nooma where Faith came back for. The video was very cool, something about the beginning (a tree), and the in between process, and the end (another tree). I totally agree with the part that we can make a difference (play a part in building the ideal world in the future). Then there was this other part which was somehow related to the first about living the way God intended us to live and living the way we want. That one I still need to ponder on a little, since I don't exactly know what kind of way that is. Is being kind and good in everything the way? Hm...At night, we had night walk. I was grouped with Alvin, Jolyn and Jocelyn. The latter two were ultimate screamers. We were the first group to set off and our first station was Joel's station. He's really bad in hiding, either that or my eyes were really fast that night. I noticed his presence before he could even launch a surprise attack on us. But screamers were after all screamers. I went in from one side of the aerophonic system, while they went in from the other. Joel jumped at them, and what followed was the first scream of the night. Girls scream even though they know of his presence. Screamers. Our group was fast. We went everywhere in the school and managed to recover the clues pretty fast. However, we got stuck at the severed leg clue for a while because we went to the hall instead of the lab.The hall was creepy, Alvin's familiarity with the school intimidated me even more. The earlier screams from the girls also made my heart beat faster. So by that time, I was a little afraid. But even that, we explored the entire hall, only to no avail. We scared ourselves from the beginning. I got an umbrella from there though. That was another long story.After that, we went back to the TFCC. Sarah came to join us after that, followed by the second group. Our original plan was to go back to the hall to carry out our "plan B", my ultimate scare plan. Sarah would act as the female ghost from the movie "the Ring", since her hair was so long. I suggested her to go on all fours and cover the face with her hair. Jolyn was supposed to play the supposedly creepy song- Bunny-_-". But that was only an "if", if we had been able to go there, because one of the organiers said that the hall was locked and we had to remain in the TFCC. Plan B was not executed after all. However, there was always the plan C which the BB boys came up with to scare the subsequent returning groups. Their final scare. They tied Molly to the door and played some creepy laughters. But it didn't really work in the end I think. After that we had supper and Joel, Daniel, Alvin, James, and Jonathan went to bathe at the girl's toilet at the third floor library area at 2a.m. It was nice=P Back at the TFCC, me and Joel watched a bit of the "Shutter" in his laptop, before he fell, then the laptop, and finally me. That was all for the first day=)
I'm finally back from camp. It's already 2a.m. but yet I couldn't get to sleep, despite the tiredness from the 3days- 2 nights camp. Was pretty bothered by some personal stuffs, so came online. Actually I was quite lost, to a point that I couldn't do anything, but just stoned. Fortunately, I'm now better.11th June 2008That was like 4 days ago. I remember I didn't sleep the entire night so that I did not have to wake up the next morning. I was developing the wake-up phobia after oversleeping not once, not twice, but many many times. I didn't want to stand people up again, especially Joel. My plan worked. I didn't sleep, so I didn't have to wake up, so that I could redeem a bit of myself from the guilt by treating Joel breakfast. Hence, as early as 7.45 in the morning I left my house for the Mcdonald's near school. It was agreed to meet there the night before. But our good mei mei didn't specify, that I went to the one at school, she went to the one at Tampines Mart, and Joel went to the one at Tampines Mall. I got pretty pissed, because I was asked to go to one TM and then the next. In the end, we were all at the Tampines Mall's Mcdonald's, with Joel's four bags-full of camp stuffs. He was one of the organiser, so had to go there a day ahead of us to prepare some stuffs. Joel and Baobao each had a set of breakfast, and I just watched. Chatted quite a bit, but the content was too distant to be recalled. It was only before long that Joel had to leave, and we all left together. Upon reaching home, I dozed off immediately to my sweet sweet dreamland.To only wake up in the afternoon. Finally, it's someone other than F.F that I met. My movie companion. The past one week's been pretty much a F.F week. Hence, I went to bathe and dress up before leaving home. Many apologies for making her wait for like an hour, because the oversleeping syndrome was still haunting me again. I reached Plaze Sing at around 1.55, and met her whom I hadn't met for more than 3 weeks. It's been so long. The movie we watched was Accuracy of Death. It has been screened in cinemas for quite a while and I saw the review the day before. Was pretty tempted because the review was so good.This movie was about this (played by Takashi) Shirigami (Japanese term for grim reaper), who gives judgment to people who are approaching death by interacting with them. They don't decide who to die, but rather decide if the selected ones are worthy of death. Shan't reveal too much details although it would be very tempting to do so. I don't want to be a spoiler. Overall, I like how the many stories were pieced together, and I thought the little surprise towards the end of the show was very well-planned. "They say the rain will always stop." This was finally fulfilled at the end of the show. Beautiful sunshine- things which are not special but important, just like the life of a person. There are so many lives around that they become so ordinary, but yet each is still so important to us.
The day was rounded up with a cup of mocha ice blended at the Ice Monster. She had some mango ice which didn't appeal to me much, but she seemed to enjoy it a lot. I like mine though.
Today was supposed to have an appointment with Joel and baobao at baobao's house, but I suppose you should've guessed it already. Yes, I overslept. I woke up when Joel called though, and I went to bathe. That's such a breakthrough compared to previous occasions when I couldn't even crawl out of bed. After bathing I went back into bed and Joel called again. I told him I still felt like sleeping and he asked me to join in later. A utterly big big big mistake. Learning point: Don't eveer let Koh TiongWei go back to sleep if you ever succeeded in waking him up, because you won't know when the next time is when you are so LUCKY. Nevertheless, good effort Joel=). Thus, I slept all the way until 2.30 and Xiuhui's message came. Gosh, my project work meeting. Immediately, I hurried out of house, forgot to take shoes, went back, wore shoes, and rushed all the way until school. Luckily, I was only ten minutes late. Nothing much was discussed during meeting. We retrieved our finally-approved GPP, and did the letter. After that I went back home, had dinner and came online. Today's not really an eventful day...Yes, Netherlands beat Italy 3-0. The Dutch Vans rock!
Alright, now I've to squeeze my brain juice to recall whatever happened yesterday. Monday was a sunny day, but that didn't really matter since we were like underground throughout the entire day. Yes underground entire day. We can be meerkats already. I was supposed to have an appointment with Fang in the morning to go gym, but only slept at 8 in the morning. I messaged him to cancel the appointment, but instead he insisted on calling me. Thus, I've to put it to silent mode. Sorry Fang=)At noon, Joel was smart enough to call my home. (ps. I will not give anyone my home number anymore). So I woke up and went to meet F.f at the airport. By the time I reached there, only baobao was there. Faith came soon after. So it's f.f minus 3 plus 1. Faith told me Jolyn was at the other side of the foodcourt, so if disregard distance, it's f.f minus 3 plus 2. Then Joel came. So became F.f minus 2 plus 2. So we started revision. I did mathematics for the first time. Then we had lunch too. About an hour later, Daniel came with dasao, so became f.f minus 1 plus 3. The number of people became too many by then so we changed our table. Daniel and dasao were like so sweet. So, we just studied and studied. Faith left halfway. Then continued studying. Jolyn left sometime later, don't know when. So, eventually it's left with f.f minus 1 plus 1. We had dinner at the same foodcourt, and I ate the same stall as where I ate from in the afternoon. I hate my ulcers, make me cannot close mouth and I actually drooled. Gosh, so embarrassing. But who cares, dou shi zi ji ren=). Joel treated us fried carrot cake which wass quite nice, but according to Joel, the chef put in amazingly large amount of species and ingredients- concentration of 12 eggs and 1 quarter bottle of salt etc. Gosh!After that we went to Mr. bean to get some drink. Apparently, all of them had reasonably nice drinks, I don't like papaya though. But mine is awfully sucks! Chendol soya milk, it's unbelievable. Seriously, adding red bean paste into milk. That's how it tasted initially, and the taste deteriorate as time went by. It's certainly highly NOT recommended! Baobao's the only one who said it was nice. Picture time:
It was Sunday, and yet yet again, I stood people up again. In the morning I promised to go for service, so I didn't sleep the whole night. By right if I don't sleep then I should not have the problem of not being able to wake up. I messaged Joel to ask him for the time of cell, and he told me it's 1100h. Perhaps it's me who was not specific enough. My 'cell' refers to both service and cell. Therefore, service actually starts at 0900h, and because I thought it starts at 1100h, I dallied a little and the more I dallied, the more I didn't feel like going. In the end, I decided against it and went to sleep. I didn't go for soccer in the afternoon as well. 2 standing ups. The third one was to my ex-cg mates. We were supposed to have a cg25 barbecue, which was decided upon since like a month before school holidays. I was so determined to go to at least catch up with my ex-cg mates, but when I finally woke up that time, I felt a pull in my back. Is that a sprain? I doubt so, because the pain subsided soon after. At this point of time, guilt got the better of me, and I decided against going once again. The entire night, I really got myself going for revision. I'm almost done with Physics, and did some one-chapter-one-page notes which I think I will be giving to my friends. Should come in pretty handy when the schedule is tight I guess. That should be all for a day of boredom.By the way, weixin owes me two favors. One was the almost forgotten o'levels results bet, the other was me helping her do her project work survey. Muahaha. It's either one super big one, or two not so big ones. It's not small loh=P (no more again)
My memory is failing me. It has been only a day since I last blogged, but yet I've completely no idea of how was my yesterday like. All I know is that I woke up real late in the afternoon because somehow I've inverted my day and night. Then I started to feel guilty and started studying. I've decided to do notes instead of reading now. Yup, so at night, my concentration span reached the its limit, and I strayed off to playing FM again. Until 1200 am, I started multi-tasking by watching the Euro opener of Czech versus Swiss, and playing FM at the same time. For FM, I won my treble, after my Sherman Cardenas scored an early goal against contender Chelsea, got equalised by a howler from Drogba, and a determining goal in the 80th minute by David Villa. And the treble was completed with Valencia beating 9-men Villarreal 2-0 at half time, which already spelled the Champion of Spain- V-A-L-E-N-C-I-A. Basically, Valencia won everything, Villa won everything too, except for the Euro golden boots. Otherwise, all striker awards went to Villa, manager award goes to Cluas Tsuki again, and Spainish Goalkeeper goes to Canizares, Defender goes to Moretti, midfielder goes to Albelda. Those are in the dream team ones. Then there's this hall of fame, where Valencia managed to squeeze in to be ranked 10th. Frank Rijkaard was ranked 9th by the way=) Yup, and the transfer window was some spending spree. Valencia was much more generous than Man Utd. Man Utd's transfer budget was only a miserable 9 million, Valencia gave me 40+ million. Pretty reasonable I would say, given that I've gotten the club out of debt and earned them 90+ million in the last two final matches. So here's the transfer players:In: Kompany(30million), Mikel(12million), Baraggan(13million), Akinfeev(21million), Richards(30million)Out: Jorge Lopez (free), Angel Angulo (500k), Albelda (19million to Chelsea)News of the season, brave newcastle got relegated and they are in huge debt. I almost bought wonderkid, Charles N'zogbia for a mere 7million to complete my French duo-winger with Gourcuff, but decided against it. Since my young homegrown Spainish starlets are already occupying the left wing- Silva and Gavillan, both promising and hardworking, and talented. Second hit: Anthony Vanden Borre hated me for fining him and giving him warning for unprofessional behaviour, but after I threatened him with transferlisting him, he became good, and performed above level for consecutive 2 matches=)As for the the Euro qualifier, it's somewhat a disappointment I would say. Czech didn't play as well as I would expect of them. In fact, Swiss was orchestrating throughout most of the game. It was thanks to the safe hands if petr Cech that allowed Cech a narrow one goal margin win. Swiss was down on their luck I would say. Aside from the need to get pass the solid Petr Cech, the goal post was against them too. There was one hit-pole, and two controversial penalties not given, although replays showed that it was clear handball. Swiss was at home, but the referee was against them. Hm... Anyway, Petr Cech rocks!
Alright, so that was our first time f.f-1 sleeping in the same room. Joel left earlier remember. The guys were kind enough to let the only girl, baobao have the bed, or rather she dozed off on the bed even before we asked=P So, Daniel went to sleep after that, followed by bobo, and I was the last. I got myself a corner in that room, a small space under the study table. We three guys had to share one pillow, and Danile got the mattress. So the picture was like a windvane, with the pillow as the centre. Thus, the day ended at 4 or 5 in the morning when all of us finally fell sound asleep. Joel came back soon after at 8 in the morning. I don't know what happened in the morning except that I woke up and took the bed. When I finally came into full consciousness of all the happenings, they were telling me of how horrible I was when I slept because I kept moving upwards, whacking the life out of Daniel. Opps sorry yea=P They were playing playstation 2 at baobao's brother room when I woke up. A few games later, all of us went to the fairprice nearby to get some grocery then to the foodcourt to have our meal. I ordered small pot noodles, same as Joel=) Daniel and Bobo left after that, leaving me to stay with Joel. We went back to baobao's place and Joel's weak point was really fun to get hold of. Muahaha (evil laughters*), I shall use that against you all the time. I went back and was kind of slack up there. Baobao did some physics, so did Joel. My role? Consultant? first time ever since I've entered JC that I feel that my standards are coming back. I could actually be of some help when they couldn't solve. Cheerios! I shall build on this momentum and get into mazurin next year! At around 6.30 in the evening, baobao walked us to the traffic light at dunman and I walked Joel to the bus stop at tpjc before heading for home. A day away from home- something I'm definitely missing- bath! Able to bathe really rocks!
Hello blog, I'm back from baobao's house. Shall update first on my stay-over at baobao's house and today's revision progress. 7th June, roughly two weeks more to JCT. Daniel, Joel and me went over to baobao's house for study group. It was baobao's turn to stand us up a little as she wanted to stay in school to chat with her seniors after their handover of roles, duties as well as the entire Temasek band. Therefore, Daniel and Joel decided to drop over at my place first. I was playing fm at that point of time, so they just watched. Joel was super beaten I guessed. He dozed off almost as immediately as his head came into contact with the comfort of my mattress. Ohs well, whichever student isn't exhausted from the never ending torment of today's education system? On a lighter note, my Valencia team beat AC Milan during the champion's cup knockout first leg! I was extremely stressed out at that point of time, because I really want to show Daniel how good my Valencia was to beat one of the giant European soccer team, but at the same time Milan's not only a giant, but also a titan, a god. The sight of all the legendary players in the squad was enough to send shivers down my spine. Of course, the injury which ruled my star striker cum skipper, David Villa out from actions, meaning my entire team would have to be as follow:Canizares (GK)
Roberto Ayala(RCB)
Morreti(LCB)
Gareth Bale(LB)
Anthony Vanden Borre(BR)
David Albelda(DM)
Baraja(DM)
Joaquin(ARM)
Marcelo(ALM)
Silva(ACM)
Cardenas(ACM)
Fortunately, a change in tactics during half time saw my new purchase during the mid-season transfer window, Marcelo(left winger) tapping away a goal within ten minutes of the second half, and young Colombian starlet, Sherman Cardenas firing a 20 yard howler pass Dida during his debut appearance in the first team. This gave my Valencia 2 goals advantage in the second leg. My chance of reaching the finals is increasing! And also, my 22 points ahead of second place Barcelona saw me through to become the winner of the first division even it is still months before the end of the season! Good job Valencia! the 26 games unbeaten runs, and 1 games straight wins really helped a lot! Morientes is coming back in a month's time!Alright, so after that we set off to baobao's house. That was only until 2 hours after the arranged time. On the way, I was still talking to Daniel about fm, about who is a good and definite purchase and how I got sacked because of an ultimatum. Joel was mostly left out, though he played the game as well. Apology Joel=pToo engrossed in the conversation, I actually didn't realise that we were heading in a direction somewhere off our destination's. Can't blame me actually, because I didn't expect them to not to be able to recognise the way even after so many visits, especially when Joel's such a pro orienteering guy. Fortune out of misfortune? We got to witness a cat poaching in action. At somewhere near my primary school, a poaching cat caught my attention. He was looking sternly straight into the bush, and that interested me very much. I told them and at the same time, my footstep slowed down as well. Curiosity was getting the better of us, and so all of us decided to halt to find out what's in the bush. The native nature of cats is so marvelous. In documentaries, we always see big cats like lions or cheetahs poaching surreptitiously through the tall grasses in Africa and launch a surprise attack at the defenseless wildebeest, and then we saw it in real life yesterday. A cat in the same mould doing exactly the same thing. But the beauty of the wonders of nature lies in the patience of the watcher. Since we did not have much time to spare, we gave up in the end, but that was really a sight for all of us indeed. At baobao's house, we studies a little, played a little too. I never play at all=) I'm a good boy, at least not until bobo came. By the way, Joel has left by then. Then we played Mahjong. The initial plan was to play 24 times 4 rounds, but after we started, we realise that that indeed was a lot a lot. And in the end, after 3-4 hours of endurance, we finally managed to complete one round -_-". After that, I went to sleep at one corner of baobao's study room, really a corner...
Alright, so after this entry my blog will be up to date, once again. For the past few days, I wouldn't say that I've been slacking all the while, because truth is I did some work, in fact, a lot of work. An average of 6 hours dedicated to revision per day, how much work that is, is for you to gauge. However, besides that I've also been playing a lot. Meaning, I mugged a lot and I played a lot. In the end what's compromised has to be my sleep and rest. Sigh* 24 hours' a little too short a span yea? Therefore, today I slept at 1000a.m. after a night of staring into the computer screen. Hopefully, the more I get to see is the more I'm gonna detest it. The squarish, expressionless, eye-tiring gadget which took up so much of my time. By right, I was supposed to have an appointment with the F.F at meimei's house for yet another study group, the second of F.F's, the first which I've missed the day before. However, overcame by tiredness, I lazed in my bed for a while before receiving meimei's message about the cancellation of today's study group. Aside from being a little disappointed, I felt relieved, at the amount of sleep which awaited me. Meimei and me have been stood up by Da Ge and San Di. Bad bad! Thereafter, I drifted off to dreamland... *snores*Tomorrow will be the major F.F gathering cum study group. No one from F.F should ever miss this! No matter what, no standing people off anymore! Haha, I'm looking forward to it so much. It's gonna be fun!
