heyys.

a pretty tiring day.
from training i think.
don't know why i felt very sleepy and tired at the end.
hees, i like playing badminton.
it's a fun sport but it's no contact sport.
and need to think when you play the game.
just like most of the other sports, i think.
the players need to make fast decisions,
that might change everything in the game.
i read an article about that before.
basketball players making decision in the game.
must be really fast.

sigh,
looks like i'm going to spend the most of the week worrying about tests.
napfa, bio, physics.
napfa, i'm scared cannot pull up and cant jump.
bio, i'm afraid of not remembering the information.
physics, i'm afraid of not being able to explain in the test.
i got put in a effort at least, but they still worry me.
or to say, i worry about them.
lols, muggers alike, i think a lot of ppl also feel the same thing right?
haha.

gtg, good nights.

heyys.

the start of a new week.
hees, i thought it was a good day on the whole.

ran 2.4 km this morning.
was quite anxious at first, didn't know if have stamina.
but i was quite happy with the final timing! :D
10.37 haha, long time nvr get below 11 le.
i think its because at first i paced bryce and yujun.
lols, it's an insane choice, they run so fast one.
in the end i couldn't pace yujun somewhere in the 5th round.
and bryce stopped after 4 rounds.
then boon chong overtook me and we finished it tgt, almost. haha.
our class didn't get to play bball during recess.
no courts.

went for class investiture rehearsal aft school.
the stage no fans, i kept perspiring.
lols, i'll probably get stage fright when i go and collect the badge and run off the stage or smt.
haha, how weird that will be.

i'll go study before i sleep.
found out at bio lesson that my revision was almost fruitless.
i still haven't got some of the hard facts in my virutally empty head.
haha.
and physics is getting out of my brain's reach.
it's getting harder and harder.
almost everything is getting harder and harder as time passes,
since we're suppose to improve as we grow anyway.
healthy stress.
how can any amount of stress be good for the mind.
it'll probably get the brain to work harder and tire it out more.
or maybe not, since if there's nothing to do we'll go crazy as well.

gtg,
good nights.

heyys.

finally decided to give myself a break.
from all the revising and doing homework,
especially chinese.
there were 3 homework for chinese.
1 zuowen 2 duan3 ping2.
lols, do until almost go mad.
but with determination anything is possible!
haha, learnt that the hard way.

went out for lunch tday.
it's nice to go out and walk around.
ate really nice goreng pisang tday.
there's this stall at upp thomson there.
inside the 'longhouse'.
i saw mrs lee teo there. lols.
the fried stuffs there v nice.
got fried banana, fried green bean, fried jackfruit i think.
lols, even fried tapioca.
asked my mother to buy more fried banana go home eat.
it's tasty no wonder the stall's business so good. haha.

went home and did more homework.
studied some bio but not physics yet.
still need to revise a few times. lol.
both tests coming at the end of the week.
and napfa on wed.
lols, afraid of standing broad jump and pull up.
2.4 tmrw. lols!
haven't ran in a long time.

alright, gtg le.
good nights.

heyys.

sigh,
got told off by form teacher for eating in class.
actually, not 'told off', it's more of being scolded.
ar, anyway you get the idea.
plus, i'm a chairperson somemore.
as i've written in my reflection,
'with great power comes great responsibility.'
lol, nothing to add in so added this quote from spiderman.
rly, i can prepare to get sacked by tmrw.
which literally, removes a whole load of expectations.

have you ever thought of what career to pick up when you grow up?
well, apparently i have recently.
to be a doctor.
but, it's difficult to foresee if my interests will waver as time passes by.
forgotten if i've posted this before,
i wanted to become a racer when i was young.
haha, i drew myself in a race car for my teacher last time.
that was very long ago, when i was p2 or p3.
but then as i grew up, dreams are slowly crushed by reality.
reality checks reveal loopholes in my dreams and ambitions.
loads of it.
lols, that instantly killed so many thoughts.
i think the reason why i want to be a doctor,
is because being a doctor, i can play a part in the patient's life.
an important part.
haha, i look up to doctors when i go to the clinic, or the hospital,
don't you?
it's like they are the only people who can 'save' you from illness.
right?
that's a comforting thought.

but there are still so many choices of jobs out there.
i mean variety, not vacancies, lols.
wouldn't more and more dreams get crossed out as reality rings in your mind.
nothing is certainin the future,
and would following your heart help you then.
rly, it's so hard to make decisions for the future,
without knowing what you want in life.

it's late,
need to sleep, good night.

heyys.

there's school tmrw.
how wonderful.
especially when i have rarely revised anything over the week.
5 days, pass so quickly.

woke up early to sao3 mu4 for qing1 ming2 jie2.
yeah, that's exactly what i wrote last year on the post.
but yeah, every year it's a must to go sao3 mu4.
i think it carries the significance of remembering one's ancestors.
which is very impt. yin2 shui3 si1 yuan2.
right.
then went to second uncle's house to eat.
it was like only 8.30 when we reach his house.
ate loads over there and watched tv.
the scenery from my uncle's house is great.
especially when i stood at the balcony.
can see very very far.
and it's like next to the mrt station.
really, the side gate opens up to the mrt station.
that's the best convenience one can get right.

went home at 12 plus.
then played dota with yong jie and yong yu.
watched tv after dinner.

and guess what.
i finished the last of the harry potter series.
like finally. haha.
the harry potter series was absolutely fantastic.
captivating right from the start.
and from 'harry potter and the order of the phoenix' onwards,
it was really exciting to read on as harry continues with his adventure to destroy lord voldermort.
oh, 'harry potter and the half-blood prince' movie coming out on july 21.
haha, cool.
so out of the hols, at least i completed the aim of finishing the book at the end of it.

term 2 here i come.
can already foresee the pressure on me during the mid years.
which, as usual, make me lose my sleep. insomnia.
pre-exam stress syndrome, which is perfectly normal for me already.
because after all these years of secondary exams i've taken.
it happens almost everytime.
i still remember there's this lang arts paper 1 which left me.
nearly sleepless before the test. i didn't even know whether i slept or not.
was in bed at 10pm, but was still wide awake at 2.
yeah, exams prove to be one of the worst fears for me.

alright, need to adapt to life at school again.
no more hours of doing absolutely ntn but stoning.
it's time to work hard. like finally.
ok luh there's still eoys for the finale,
but mid yr might as well just do well for it.

oh yeah,
happy birthday to you, shuwei.
in advance.
thanks for being such a helpful friend at obs.
lols, even though i rarely say hi to you.
i must start being friendly alr.
anyway, may you stay happy always.
lols, there's such a low possibility of you reading it.

gotta go,
good nights.

heyys.

argh, it's thursday!
holiday zooming pass so fast, lol.
had a full day at home tday.
spent the whole day finding math notes and doing the revision ws.
every topic read a bit.
i was doing fine until i read quadratic inequalities.
lol, no recollection of that topic.

half of the hols is gone but my homework isn't gone yet. lol
very bored with doing homework.
left chinese homework arr.

last night, some mosquitoes came to suck my blood lol.
they bite the finger now it's swelling.
not really big, but relative to other fingers,
it's rather red and enlarged.
hope it resides soon.

2 hours of training tmrw.
lol, in school somemore.
it takes one hour to go to school alr, then training only 2 hours.
haha, and it's in the afternoon.
which is quite nice to train in, unless it rains.
then there will be loads of wind, which is bad for training.
the shuttle will fly and change direction, curling as it ends.
that's why badminton is a indoor sport i guess.

gtg alr.
take care and bye.

heyys.

tday really lightened me up.
loads and loads.

early in the morning,
there was training at je.
went to eat breakfast nearby the complex.
usual training, warm-up, bu4 fa2, then games or feeding.
couldn't help but feel btr aft training.
i think i've read an article that playing sports release certain hormones in your body,
that make you happy or smt.
but too much exercise makes you feel tired, lol.

then 10 of the guys went lan.
as usual, turns out to be fun at lan. lol.
hui shan says it's a waste of money, which is true to a certain extent.
but its srsly fun to have so many ppl playing tgt,
face-to-face chat instead of using chat, lol.
but i can't help thinking how much money i spent on lan from the time i started.

after that, came the really exciting part.
my favourite part of the day.
going to yong zhi's house! ;D
ftw, srsly.
haha, clement, jun wei and I walked to yong zhi's house from lan.
it's like a street away.
yz's house so quiet and serene.
we played ps haha and watched some videos.
digimon and nba on playstation.
imba.
nba's so addictive. lol, played like 3 games.
kept saying 'eh last one ar, srsly.'
but end up playing 1 hour lol.
had rly lots of fun playing bball on console. ;D

been sleeping late these few days.
and waking up early the next day.
during hols, lol.
tmrw have to go to school early.
till 5pm lol.
i want my holiday, at home sleeping while doing homework or smt.

alright, gtg le.
good night.

heyys.

it's real late now.
a short post before i sleep.

long weekends.
yay yay.
went for tuition tday morning.
then had a nice long lunch at the food court near my house.
it was very blazing hot in the afternoon.
so i ate noodles and sipped my iced milo slowly while i stared into space,
enjoying every bit of that milo.
lol.

didn't touch homework tday.
except phy ASK assignment.
then dota the rest of the day away.

alright, rly sleepy.
have fun in the hols.
bye.

heyys.

yay, thursday alr.
played bball 3 times tday! ;D
during recess, free period and after school.
played with yujun, bryce and youxiang.
and shot for a while after school alone.

ytd got back report slip.
as expected my lang arts, chinese and chem all bad.
chemistry worst subject somemore,
like last yr term 1.
lol, the comments also quite short.
term 1's 10 % anyway, so if you didn't get as high as you anticipated,
don't worry, still got 3 quarters of the year to mug for.
lol, i don't know what subject combination to work towards.

haha the remaining few days of the term,
and i'm playing long hours.
take a break because you deserve it.
haha, i think i will try to mug during hols.
all the tchrs say term 2 very packed.

holidays are next week.
no school for one week, haha.
i think i'll miss my classmates, lol.
no bball aft pe, sad.
lol, no tablemate to talk to also.
haha, no more slapping too yay.
but must say it's good taking a break from lessons for 5 days.
at least we can decide what to do during hols.
haha.

alright, got to go le.
good night.

heyys.

sunday, sunny side-up.
it has been sunshine for the whole day.
and it's rly quite warm.
but the sky's a shade of light blue.
balances up everything nicely.

slept very late ytd, abt 1 pm.
was watching the 'zai nu' show.
the momo, mars. lol.
quite entertaining. haha.
woke up rly late tday.
but at least i woke up seeing the sunlight fill the room.
weekdays i wake up see nothing but pitch black.
well, actually you can't see black rite.
anyway, it was rly comfortable waking up so late. haha.
aft next week, we can do that everyday. ;D
since it's mar hols, lol.

rly,
how many times have i commented that
'time passes too quickly'.
term 1 passed, just like that.
i remember things from term 1.
loads of celebrating bdays.
zonals, how can i forget. lol.
trainings, thursday bball aft school.
pe lessons, learning to play badminton.
doing homework. homework. and more homework.
breaking my racket, agony at the time.
being a chairperson for one term,
which obviously isn't much fun, except when we greet the tchrs, haha.
test results, which i feel pretty sad abt.
ups and downs of term 1.

went shopping in the afternoon.
bought a new racket for myself.
hees, didn't spend a lot on it.
bought nano speed 500 yonex.
saw loads of nano series, armor tech series and muscle power series.
theres nano white and nano pink.
very nice, but expensive.
going to take care of it while it lasts.

gtg sleep le.
have a great last week at school.
hehe.
goodnight.

Labels: bought new racket ;D, term 1

heyys.

a wasted saturday.
almost.

woke up early to finish tuition homework.
literally forced myself awake.
went for tuition afterwards.
came home and did more homework.
lunch, homework, dinner, homework.
and no not even one game of dota.
how good can a saturday get other than this.

zz.

heyys.

jun ming is right.
the week has passed so quickly,
yet again.
a blink of an eye and it's thursday alr.

thursdays,
meant p.e. and basketball aft that,
also meant the long lessons in class,
and more bball aft school.

received cl marks.
not very good, must work hard to improve on it.
up to now, can roughly pick out subjects which can be improved alr
based on test results.
for me, i picked out lang arts, chinese and chemistry.
not that other subjects very good le,
but i think these few subs very weak.
my languages as usual, and chem start of the year very weak also,
lol i dk why.

listening to 'In the end' by linkin park.
lol, i tried so hard... but in the end it doesn't even matter.
familiar lines.

raining cats and dogs outside now.
really heavy.
the sound of the rain pouring down,
and the smell of the rain all so familiar.
haha.

gtg, finish homework.
bye.

heyys.

lol msn convo till v late.
tday super sleepy.
couldn't get over the fact that my racket broke.
haha, jkjk.

tday's weather was generally humid.
it was warm and humid before the rain in the late afternoon.
warm, humid, still air.
thick cloud cover makes it really warm.
then came dark clouds.
and i was sleeping when it rained i think.
didn't get to enjoy the coolness of the rainy weather.

slept for a short while,
then did math ws and chem prac.
and read harry potter.
at the last book liao.
getting quite interesting, but more predictable?
in some sense bah, compared to the other books. in the series.
hoping to finish it before next term.
haha.

hees, listening to linkin park's 'somewhere i belong'.
true rock, haha.
a song i miss listening for a long time

life's been relatively relaxed.
no upcoming tests to mug hard for.
just finish homework and revise a bit.
and go to sleep.
there's time to play dota somemore.
like tday, haha.

going to watch tv.
documentary about animals.
lol, i like to see the way they film animals.
interesting.
gtg, bye.

heyys.

happy birthday alan!
glad you liked the cake and the 'surprise' celebration.
hope you continue to succeed in your future endeavours.
hees,
actually what matters about celebrating birthdays,
is that the birthday boy/girl enjoys it.
or else whats the point huh.

tday is a rather cold day.
freezing in class, lol.
i must eat more for breakfast and lunch then can keep me warm.
these type of cold conditions in class is ideal for sleeping.
almost fell asleep during lang arts lesson.
if not for the teacher, her interesting word game.
unscramble the words, and make new words.
haha, yay quite fun.

argh, tday also marks the end of my racket.
literally.
it broke into 2 pieces.
srsly, the top frame and the bottom handle.
i feel super emo abt that.
what happened was,
i slip and fell (lol, don't laugh at my clumsiness. ;D)
i was holding the shoe bag so first my shoe bag became the cushion for impact for me.
but i pressed my hand on the racket which was on top of the shoe bag.
zz, pressed too hard. i heard 'crack'.
then i see my racket break but i'm fine.
haha, the racket sacrifised itself to save the safety of my hands, lol.
which barely touched the ground.
'sacrificial protection'. lol.

urgh, the agony of breaking my own racket into half.
here is one paragraph,
in tribute to my racket, which accompanied me for almost 3 years now.
i overlooked the importance of my racket,
never really appreciated it until now.
lol, i will feel so useless on the courts without racket.
and that's like the only racket i have.
except the other 2 carbonex ones,
which are pretty old. hehe.
still got 'T' shaped frame holder.
this ashaway silicon 8 racket,
orange in colour, with a shade of black.
thanks for being there when i need a racket.
hees, that is if i remember to bring it along for training.
anyway, my racket has been following me around the whole of singapore now.
last time went to tampines play ashaway cup.
haha.
and all the different training spots.
henderson, jurong east sports hall, clemeti sports hall, delta sports hall.
school hall.
and the comeptition venues.
hwa chong, kranji sec.
lol, i'm getting sentimental.
(tissues pls, aiya got tears on the keyboard alr)
i feel really sorry to my racket.
haha.
but couldn't fix it back ever again.
even if i'm sorry.

but i've still got good friends like jun wei and yong jie, who offer to lend me their rackets.
haha, i'm thankful to accept that offer.
hees.
wonder if i shld get a new racket.
hmm.

lol anyway.
gtg le.
the ending of the post is always so abrupt.
got to sleep le.
bye.

Labels: broken racket

heyys.

subway monday!
haha, plainly because we went subway for 2 consecutive mondays.
and we're going to make it a point to do so every week.
haha.
then soon i'll be broke, lol.
hees, bryce, peng fei, jun ming, wen xuan, austin and I
went to the subway at west mall.
convenient place.
a foot long meal shared between 2 people.
lol, cause we're going to eat dinner soon anyway.
haha, should try some other type of sub instead of cold cut.

after that we went around to buy alan's present.
we decided on a coffee cake.
hope you'll like it when you see it tmrw alan.
happy birthday in advance. ;D

hees, talking about birthdays.
happy birthday alvin! ;D
may you continue to do well in your future endeavours.
all the best, ex-chairman. lol.
also,
happy birthday huiwen! ;D
stay happy and cheerful.
may you realise your dreams. lol.

tday's a long day.
really felt tired during the afternoon.
i slept so little last night.
not because i had a lot to do before i sleep.
i went to bed quite early,
but couldn't sleep.
haha, i'm going to sleep earlier tday.

then i think i'll stop here.
lol.
good night.

heyys.

hadn't been doing much over the weekends.
certainly played a lot of dota,
which is one of the things i enjoy to do.
all i've to do is sit in front of the PC
and play the game.
easy, anyone can do it.

it was raining heavily in the afternoon tday.
bright lightning, lol like in front of our house.
haha,
when it rains so heavily outside,
do you feel it's relatively warm and cosy inside the house?
i felt safe when i saw that lightning striking nearby.
but somehow, in times of sun and blue skies,
i wouldn't have felt so at home.
rather, would have preferred to be outside if not for homework.

a new week tmrw.
i've noticed how fast time has passed.
lol, because i didn't set any goals for myself in the past week.
no wonder, life has been a blur so far.

why does it take so many mistakes to be commited,
before i realise how to do it the right way.

oh well.
have a nice week ahead.
bye.
