Frisbee Tournament
Today is definitely a day where I learnt quite alot about myself. I had fun, but at the same time, I learnt things about myself that I wouldn't be able to learn else where.
Just before the tournament began, all the participants gathered in the canteen. Tian Hock wanted to come to my group, so I had no choice but to swap place with him. It was a damn tough decision, whether I regret it or not, you'll come to the conclusion after reading everything. I won't get into detail as I do not wish to. We drew our first match and lost the rest. At the end of the day, this was what Alvin had to say, "Actually I just wanted to have fun, I didn't want to win." I was totally shocked by what he had to say, but I remained calm and said it was okay. Well, we practised and trained so hard and this is what was on his mind? I'm disappointed, god damn disappointed. Well, I don't wish to go on about this. What I learnt from the tournament is that I'm an extremely competitive person, maybe even too competitive. I'm determined to do my best in anything I participate in and lead the team to victory. The bad thing I learnt was that I lose control of myself too easily, that's also my weakness. Once I got hot-tempered and stuff, everything will get out of hand and my performance will be horrible. I tried my hardest not to lose myself today, but I did at some point lose control. Luckily, Garyson was there to tell me to relax, compose myself and take it easy. I definitely have to remember his words. Oh, I saw my godsister today in the hall when she came back to visit the teachers. I had lost contact with her for about 2 years and I was lucky to see her today. I got her new contact number now, so I won't lose it. After school, I went back to class and checked on my blisters. Man, were they bad. I will not want to elaborate on that. I went home and then out again to Jurong Point. I met up with Malbindar and Anwar. Malbindar needed to get his mobile fixed at the Nokia shop. After that we went to the post office as Malbindar needed to mail something. We watched 13 going on 30 at 4:45pm. It was pretty funny, but wasn't that great a movie. I went home after that for dinner and a good rest after a long tiring day. "Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams." - Unknown

Badminton
Well, this time we came prepared. We booked the court at Jurong East Sports Complex the day before. So, we had a chance to play for 2 hours.
I met Hong yue at 3pm and Sian Yang came at 3 plus. It was fun and enjoyable. Hong yue's really good too, she thrashed the both of us. I sweated a whole lot, from the head all the way to the toe. Well, we left around 5:30pm. Hong yue's friend, Sean met us and all of us proceeded to west mall. At west mall, we got a Teachers' Day card for Ms Tang. It costed me $5.60 and Sian Yang forced me to pay all of it. After that, me and Sian Yang went for dinner at the food court, while Hong yue and Sean went to walk around. After dinner, Sian Yang went for tuition while I proceeded back home. When I got home, I realised there were blisters on both my big toes. They were hugh, bigger than any blisters I had before. I rubbed some cream on them, hoping it would not hurt so much tomorrow as the Frisbee tournament is tomorrow. "A champion is someone who gets up, even when they can't." - Natalie Rogers

Well, a slack day. I had tuition in the morning, slack the rest of the day and went out to buy some stuff at night. Need I say more? Haha.

Badminton Courts?
Well, today was a tiring day. Hong yue and Me wanted to play badminton, but unfortunately, all the courts we went to were fully booked. So, in the end, we didn't have the chance to touch our rackets.
First, we went to Jurong East Sports Complex. It was fully booked. We asked the person at the information counter to check if Bukit Gombak and Clementi had any available courts. Well, there wasn't any either. We proceeded to Clementi Community Centre to try our luck. Well, it just wasn't our day either as there weren't any courts. We checked with the person if there were any courts in Ayer Rajah Community Centre or West Coast Community Centre. Unfortunately, the other 2 places were having some talks, so their courts were in use. In the end, Hong yue went to town to meet a friend of hers and I went to Jurong East to meet Anwar. Me and Anwar went to play pool for about 2hours and went for dinner after that. We left for home at around 7 plus. So, it was a rather tiring day, but I had fun playing pool!

Sentosa
Well, the day was short and slack. We only had lessons till recess, after that was just cleaning and decorating the class room.
After school, I went home first, before proceeding to Habour Front with Hongyue and her friend, Sean. We had our lunch there and left for Sentosa at around 4pm. We went there to book a chalet from Dec 14 - 16. A total of 7 of us would be going there. The information counter was so ineffective, it took more than 1/2 an hour including waiting time. After booking, we took a bus 1 round around Sentosa, before going to Orchard Road. We didn't do much there, all we did is walk around and had our dinner before going home. So, that's basically what happened today. "You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it come true." - From the book "Bridge Across Forever" (by Richard Bach)

Tan
Oh My God! It was a Lame, but pretty fun day. Hehe. The lessons today were all quite slack, so there wasn't much entertainment.
P.E was fun with frisbee practice once again. Hopefully, with all that practice, we will be able to produce results on Tuesday. Basics was lame. We had to sit in the hall for 3 whole periods. The presenter's jokes were lame. The way he moved was kind of gay. Well, but I won't get into that. Haha. After school, we practice Frisbee for about 2 hours. After that, I realised that I have become tan. Well, that's a good thing in a way, but a bad thing in another. My face looked red as well. Hehe. After that, I sat in the canteen with Garyson, Shaz, Nuraini and Liyana just to talk rubbish. We were all bored and didn't want to return home so soon. There were lots of gossip as well as certain serious stuff. I was shocked after hearing some of the stuff, I still have no idea if they're true, but I'll not want to elaborate further on it here. We had a wonderful time chit-chating though. We received a call from Ms Tang at around 6pm. We went to the staff room to find her and she told us that she needed our help to buy some materials to decorate the class tomorrow. We went to get 10 pieces of large black paper from some nearby shop close to our school. We didn't go to Clementi interchange to get them as the bus was full and it was already pretty late, and everyone just wanted to get home to watch Singapore Idol. L0L! I went home with Garyson by taxi as we both were in a rush. It was around 7pm plus when we left. We went to my place before his. When I got home, I skipped my dinner and took a shower. Luckily when I got out of the shower, there was still 15mins before the show started. I just used that 15mins to slack at the computer. Haha. Now, the show's just over and that's why I'm blogging. It wasn't that bad, but not that high standard either. My bet is the top 3 would be Jessee, Olinda and David Yeo. "The past cannot be changed,the future is still in your power." - Hugh White

Frisbee Training
Well, we finally managed to form 2 teams for Captain's Frisbee, which will take place during the Teachers' Day Celebrations. Well, we did some practice as well after school in the CD shelter.
First, we form a hugh circle and just practised passing the frisbee to each other. It's definitely not as easy as it seems. Then, there's the wind, which blows the frisbee in a totally different direction. So, it was tough, but we soon got the hang of it. After we were done passing, we formed 2 teams of 6 and started a friendly match. It was fun and I personally felt that we made improvements. I thought that everyone had a good team spirit and worked well as a team. I think working as a team is the most important thing of all as it involves good cooperation and communication. There were quite a lot of people who practised today, but some left earlier while others came later. So, it's quite hard to group ourselves as we don't really know who should be playing in which position. Hopefully, that can be settle by Friday. I think we are doing well so far and we will continue to practise for the next two days. "Do it trembling if you must, but do it!" - Unknown

Cold Night
Hmmm... Well first of all, Ronald Susilo touched down at Changi Airport today at 6am. Man, how I wish I was there, so that I could congratulate him on a job well done! =]
Anyway, the day was pretty slow. Time seems to fly pass so slowly today. The good thing was that the Focus program was cancelled, so we didn't have to stay back in school for any other thing. In school, we were forming Team 4E3 for the Teachers' Day. There were basically 3 sports to choose from; Badminton, Captain's Frisbee and Personal Challenge. I wanted to take part in Badminton, but it was already full. I wasn't really interested in the other two, so I didn't really want to take part. Alvin said that they needed a reserve for the Captain's Frisbee, so I volunteered. I don't really know the rules yet, but we'll probably be practising together for a couple of sessions before the real thing. After school, I went to play pool with Anwar again. I found out that I'm better in 9-ball compared to 8-ball. I also prefer 9-ball to 8-ball as it is much more fun? Yeah, I definitely think so. L0L!

English Oral
Well, I've decided to start bloggin everi single day again. The reason is because it can improve my English and hopefully get me that A1 I need for the 'O' Levels. But I'm not going to write long entries like those of an essay. I'll try to keep it short and simple, and end with a quote each time. Hehe, not bad eh?
Anyway, my English oral took place today. I was really nervous and I was shaking when I had that 10mins to read the passage and see the picture. Well, I felt that I did pretty alright and hopefully I'll get at least a 35/40. I started off my reading nervously, but I managed to calm myself down after the first sentence. I went slow and steady after that without much difficulty. The picture description was odd; I wasn't given the chance to start describing it. There was an immediate question. After they asked 2 questions, I started to describe the picture in as much detail as possible. I felt that I managed to describe the picture as well as the theme in the best possible way that I could. The conversation was just me telling lies and bullshitting, haha. None of the things I said came out right. The question was something like that, "Have you ever been to an unexpected place?" I didn't know what to say, so I just did what I'm good at, which is crapping all the way. This was what I said "When I was young, about 5 years old, My parents took me to somewhere on my birthday, but they didn't tell me where, so I was pretty excited about it. We took the bus for awhile before reaching Sentosa. That was the first time I actually went there. My parents brought me to places like the Underwater World, Fort Siloso, Asean Village and many others. It was an enjoyable day. At night, they told me that they book a hotel room, so that my family and I could celebrate my birthday. That was totally unexpected and . . ." It was something like that, my crapping juz went on and on. Then, the next question came, "Will you prefer to go to a familiar place or somewhere new?" So my crapping went off again, "I'll prefer to go to places where I like, for example, beaches. The reason is because I can do my favourite activities there, which is canoeing and kayaking (now that didn't come out right at all. Since when did I ever do those things? L0L!). Although those are my favourite activities, I don't do them like every single week, it's more like a monthly thing (YEA RITE!). I like visiting places that I've never been to as well . . . " I won't continue as there is way too much crap in it. L0L! The thing was that after every section, the teachers would say "Good." I have no idea if that's a good thing or a bad thing. According to Miss Tang, it's bad. So I assume that my oral can go either very good or very bad. Man, I don't even know how well I did and that is just so . . .(can't find a word to describe, sorry lah! =P). I realised that while I was speaking my natural accent was really strong. That was really bad, I don't want to sound like I'm some fake/poseur American, but I can't help it. It's not like I want that accent, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Maybe it might actually help me as I may sound more professional to them. I saw them discussing quite alot too as I was leaving, I'm just hoping that I managed to bag home the A. But what's done is done, it's over and I don't want to think about it any further. I'll just have to concentrate on the rest of my subjects for now.

Confessions.
It was a pretty normal day, nothing much happened. Well, it was pretty boring as usual, but it managed to turn out alrite in the end.
I had a sorta discussion wif Sian Yang at nite. I managed to tell him wad was realli on my mind for the past few nites. It was sorta like a confession and juz the truth. After tellin him all of tt, I feel totally good rite now. It's like something tt has been botherin for quite some time is gone and I need not worry bout it anymore. Let's juz hope he keeps it to himself and not tell any1 else. The reason is simple, cuz there will probably be shock and pain. So, it will be a good thing if he doesnt spill it out. He did ask me why this is happenin and stuff, I juz told him wad I could as I didnt even realli noe why it turned out liddat. And tt Sucks. It realli does, but perharps some things in life wont turn out the way u expect it to? It's been a pretty long time since I last discussed wif some1 bout' how I felt bout' a certain issue or stuff. I used to haf some1 to talk to and simply let go of all my worries and sorrows. Maybe I haf finally found some1 tt I can actually relate to? Who knows? He might not seem to care and stuff, but I'm sure he does somewhere deep in his heart. Oh, I haf been listenin to lots of love songs the past few days on Yahoo Launch Cast. It's totally my kindda music, but sometimes, it's juz so emotional. Some songs I hear totally describes how I feel, it's like some1 out there knows and is tellin me not to worry too much. Well, tt's exactly wad I haf decided to do, so no worries. Hehe. "Every Man Is Responsible For His Own Destiny." - Liu Kang From Mortal Kombat.

No Comment.
The day was pretty weird. I dun even noe how to describe it at all. But here goes.
In school, there wasnt any interestin or amusin until my F&N period when Mal delievered some news to me. We went to com lab 3, where there wasnt anyone, to print some stuff. Wad he said came as a shock, but at the same time it was pretty surprisin. There were 2 issues, the 1st one I didnt realli bother much although it had some shitz to do wif me. I realli am not interested anymore. As for the 2nd issue, tt was so damn important, but again I couldnt comment on it. It's gotta do wif sum relationships and stuff. Tt realli gave me a hell lot to think about. I'm so damn confused and shock rite now tt I dunnoe wad I'm gonna do. "There's also the possibility of me walkin away wif nothing." I juz dun think tt I'm prepared rite now. I dun wanna be a relationship tt I noe wont last or turn out well in the end. "U wanna try to understand, but it's juz so hard to do so." I dun wanna look back in either 5, 10 or 15 yrs down the road and regret something I didnt do. It's juz so hard for me rite now. When I finally get tt chance I've been waitin for after quite some times, I dun wanna do it. Even I'm thinkin to myself rite now, "Wad the hell am I doing!?" Well, I realli haf no idea wad I'll do, but I'll juz let time and fate decide on it. "I wish none of these had happened." - Frodo Baggins From The Lord of The Rings.

A New Life.
It's been a realli long time since I last blog. My life has changed pretty much after tt incident occured. U wan to 4get bout' it, but it's juz so hard and painful to do so. I didnt get a respond after i apologise, so i obviously guess tt it's pretty much over. Life goes on...
I haf been pretty busy wif my work lately. Even if I had the time to blog, I cant bring myself to do it. The reason is cuz I'm left wif gd memories of us being together, but unfortunately, juz wif a twist of fate, it's all over. But hey, I respect his decision and I onli wan him to be happy. Anyway, I got back my 'O' Lvl Chinese Results. I managed to pass and get a C6, it was a shock tt I managed to pass. My parents were glad, but I decided to retake it again and maybe try my luck for a B3 or B4. My big bro says that if I get above C5, he will gif me a treat. Haha. *Sighz* Even as I'm writin this thing, I juz cant seem to get over it. Well, it took a hell lot of me to apologise, but it was still not accepted. Anyway, it's been nearly a month since we last talk and stuff. In tt month, a lot has happen. I found tt I couldnt continue to like her cuz of a shockin reason. It's veri different rite now. I look at things much more differently den I used to and I start to realise the important things in my life tt I nvr wanna lose. I lost 1 already, and hey I noe tt's nvr gonna happen again. Maybe wad happened realli taught me something tt I probably wouldnt be able to learn else where. I believe tt time will heal wounds, but this isnt a wound anymore. It has becum a scar because this person was more than a fren. I treat others differently now, I learnt to open up more and not to keep things to myself. But there will always be something tt will be missing now, unless he decides to gif me another chance. Hopefully, he remembers all the wonderful times we shared and forget tt misunderstandin tt cuz this. Well, guess I'll stop here for today. I dunnoe when will be the nxt time I blog again. So I'll cya the nxt time i blog ya... |
