heyys.

taking a break after dinner.
from studying.
i don't know whether i can finish studying all the things i need to know by exams.

studied geog for the whole day.
just one time go through can take the whole day.
ytd i finished some math and chinese.
math revision i did till 12 plus.
but it's okay, didn't feel very tired ytd night.
not until this morning, then i feel the full aftermath of late night studying.

going to be the exam period again.
sigh, sleepless nights again.
and it's going to extra tough this time because i started revision late.
stress. like usual.
but i dont push myself too hard out of the limit.
which is my weak point, a disadvantage to me.

enough said, here are some photos i found rather memorable.
as in they bring certain memories in my mind.


our nyec group

another nyec group! ;D

hees, pretty memories.
i treasure these memories very much.

gtg,
take care and good night.

heyys.

lols, i haven't started revision but i can be here playing.
hoping that the mid year will turn out fine.
with my attempts at mugging.

a lot happened this week.
there was a crazy flow of revision from the teachers.
revision worksheets in class.
it's a headache really.

yeah, at least i'm feeling btr now.
i haven't ate anything that's fried for a week.
lols. no wonder my appetite so small nowadays.

went to tiong bahru plaza with jun ming, yu jun, bryce, peng fei and wen xuan.
we went to eat dinner.
hees, bryce bought me tau sua while the rest of them ate ice kachang.
cant finish the food.
lols.
happy going out with friends.

okay, i go study le.
bye.

heyys.

short post before i go offline to finish some homework.
and hopefully start revision.

ytd my house internet connection was like ._.
keep disconnecting for no reason.
tday's much btr, haven't dc for a long time alr.

wasn't supposed to come to school tday.
my mother was saying 'rest one more day'.
but i said i couldn't afford to miss lessons.
felt fine in the morning.
but after being stuck in an air-con environment for the whole day.
i started to feel cold.
not rly shivering cold, but my hands and legs just felt cold.
my throat was killing me.
every time i swallowed something, it hurt as if a knife passed through my throat.
ouch.
but i feel much btr at night, breathing the atmospheric air.

argh, my classmates are going to sakae tmrw.
i don't think i can join them because my throat's like ._.
how much food can i possibly swallow down.
tmrw's the free cone day from ben's and jerry's.
lols, i'm going to miss out so much great food.
i mean like i wanted to go sakae a long time ago,
but couldn't agree on when.
finally agreed but i'm sick. lols.
oh well, i guess i have to go another time around.

heh, tmrw maybe badminton guys going lan. ;D
there's just a slight possibility,
which in any case the mere thought would lighten me up.
didn't get to play dota last weekend. lols.

gtg.
take care. good nights.

heyys.

tday the temperatures were running even higher.
almost all the readings i take are 38.0 and above.
very scary stuff.
the medication doesn't have any immediate effect.
i ate the pill for fever but i still ran a fever in the afternoon.
but i was still conscious, i mean not too hot until brain cannot work those type.
the only homework i finished was ss, lols.
which left my head aching for a long time after i completed it.
the worse part was that my sore throat worsen.
it's freaking pain to swallow anything now.
it's pain even if i dont swallow anything.
i also developed a dripping nose.
went to the doctor this evening.
he prescribed medication to clear phlegm.

i'm feeling a lot better now.
36.9 degrees.
hopefully i will be well enough to go to school.
but i'm not taking a risk to play basketball for PE.
lols, see how the conditions are tmrw.
maybe i will feel super well and i can go for PE.
haha, hopefully.

this time, i didn't shiver like i used to when i had fever last time.
and my brain was still working well.
really grateful for that.
i didn't have to go through as much pain as i did before.

finished the earth day photojournalism ppt.
with yifan.
super tedious process converting image to paint format so as to allow picture to take up less space.
feeling very tired after finishing everything.

haha, the playoffs started ytd.
cavaliers won pistons.
lols, lebron james and team were imba.
lebron james's finger roll is imba.
and his second quarter buzzer beater was nice to watch too.

2 weeks before mid years.
going to start revising as soon as i get well.
without cca there would be more time to study during tues and fri haha.
or maybe i'll end up playing some other sport.
starting to feel the stress amounting already.
sian. lols.

gtg.
good nights.

heyys.

the weekends of mugging hard.
and i have to be sick. lols.
let's see.
i have sore throat, slight fever, cough, flu.
i was so anxious when i saw 38.3 on the thermometer.
ate porridge for the whole day.

ytd was the worst part though.
wasn't breathing well but continued training.
the pain in the thigh muscles aren't the source of pain anymore.
i tried to take deep breaths but whenever i tried, i coughed.
and i was out of my mind when i played soccer aft training.
from then i knew i was going to be sick.
my backbone was sore in the scorching sun.
the way back home i was having a rly bad headache.
went home to sleep immediately.
went to the doctor this morning.
and felt much btr in the afternoon aft some sleep and medication.
in the evening the fever was back and hit 38.3.
but now it's 37.4, and i'm feeling well, except mild headache and my head feels hot.
lols, it's very weird to have your head feel hot.
my eyes are pretty swollen too, i dk why.
ah, usual symptoms of sickness.

it's in these times of sickness
where i start to realise how impt it is to be healthy.
how precious time is.
i slept a lot these 2 days. but managed to finish a few pieces of homework.
i can't help but to think how far my classmates are in front of me for revision.
it hurts my head to think.

going to push myself even further despite being ill.
not too hard i think, or else i'll get sicker.
hopefully i recover soon, in a few days.
missing out the usual food i get to eat on weekends. haha.
alright, gtg.
good nights.

heyys.

grahh, mid years are coming.
didn't expect it to come so fast,
the week is almost coming to an end.
haven't started revising yet ._.

i'm coughing and my throat feels itchy.
actually, it kind of feels sore.
wonder who i got the cough from.
my thighs are very pain too!
pain from tues training.
don't know how to train tmrw with such painful thighs.
but it's strange how i manage to play basketball during pe with my thighs aching.
maybe i was having fun when i played basketball.
so i didn't notice the pain.
hmm, they say 'laughter is the best medicine.'
laughter sorts of includes having fun.
well, i'm not making any sense again. lol.

thanks sze fan for lending me his zinc card.
he read that i need buy a bag and lent me his zinc mem card.
lols, thanks anyway.

oh, ian told me we're going to play soccer tmrw aft training. haha.
yay, ignoring the fact that my thighs are aching,
we're going to have some serious fun. lols.

good luck revising ppl.
gtg, good nights.

heyys.

super tiring tday.
didn't know frog jumps and star jumps can make my legs numb.
i can't walk properly ._.
can't even feel the thighs lol.
last training on friday, luckily.
anw, i can't represent school in the upcoming wkw cup.
napfa must gold, i got bronze only.
sigh.

ytd didn't have any time to mug.
because we played bball and when i reached home felt v tired.
do chinese homework then go sleep at 10.30 le.
but tday feels totally different.
i left zuowen haven't touch.
i think tmrw must hand in.
i'm going to try to chiong finish tday.
lols, most people in the class do le.

sometimes, words can do the damage.
how true right.
words express thoughts and feelings, second to action.
so words might make or break someone.

alright, gtg.
good nights.

heyys.

one of the greatest day out ever!
hees, a really memorable and eventful day,
that will be etched in my memories for a long time.

took part in the a competition held by National Youth Environment Council.
the envirolympics, en-mazing race 2009.
haha, alr took part last year.
thought it was fun, so joined again this year.
going to have a lot to blog about :D

rv had many teams that took part,
in which 2 teams were in top 10.
imba.
i was in the team consisting of bryce, boon chong, janice, ting xiang and myself.
our facilitator was jessica.
the other 4A team was ethel, hui shan, pearlyn, peng fei and veron.
their facilitator was feng rong, i think.
pearlyn say he v cute. lols, ok luh.
because there were many pretty girls there too.
ahha, penfei and i were spying for them ._.
like some tikos. haha.
i saw domenico from fmss.
haha, with his team, they won medals.
their facil was the pretty one, lols.
alright, enough of talking about pretty girls.

i woke up at 5.30 and arrived at vivo at 7.
lols. made friends with one nus guy.
who looked as lost as me in the morning.
he went to the wrong escalator ._.
nvm, we parted soon and i met up with my group.
see bryce, pf and boon chong eat breakfast.
and we were off after registering our names.
and getting our goodie bags.
there were loads of food in the goodie bags.
milo, newater, rly seasoned chicken biscuits, 100-plus and some cereal thing.
everyone had bottles loaded in their bag.
i brought home all the food after the competition ._.
monday i bring to school share with everyone haha.

we all wore our yellow event tee and set off from vivo.
we had to complete 5 stations and come back to vivocity.
the fastest team wins.
we were given a clue to start with.
then upon reaching the first station, we could then recieve all other clues.
and then plan our route. the shortest one. haha.
different groups of teams had different routes.
must say our route quite long.
from simei, our first station,
to ngee ann poly,
to woodlands town garden,
to hougang,
to plaza singapura,
to central,
and at last vivo.

at simei the task is to complete a matching game.
with questions and answers.
match questions and answers tgt.
like those memory card game.
then must get ppl to sign, according to the number of tries.
haha. then boon chong and bryce was fast in the sudoku.
which is good. haha, because it solves a clue.
tingxiang, janice and i were figuring out the other clues.
our facil, jessica, helped us with the clues, because she had friends as the gamemasters of the station.
we decided to go according to the route i wrote above.
because we would go clockwise from simei back to vivo.

went to ngee ann poly.
high element stuff!
to begin with, i was pretty scared of the thought about high elements.
haha, but in the end must still complete the station.
and the thought of it being safe comforts me. lol.
we had to do 3 low element things.
those activities that did not require a harness.
then the high element.
we had 3 options.
1. the flying fox
2. the abseiling
3. the jumping thing, parafox or smt, forgot the name.
all these happened from 50 metres above ground.
lols, when you look down, i assure you that you won't feel like doing any of them.
we chose to do the jumping thing since the queue is the shortest.
here's how it goes.
one at a time, we hold on to the rope.
and from the platform, jump down vertically,
holding the rope.
a bit like you being the load and the string carrying you.
bryce, boon chong and janice brave.
tingxiang and i were quite scared.
lols, when it was my turn the facil ask me whether i scared.
i said "a bit."
he said "imagine in front got pretty girl and just walk towards her".
and off i went.
lols, almost closed my eyes but someone shouted "don't close your eyes."
i forced them open for the picture i think. lols.
it wasn't as scary as it looked from above.
actually quite fun, could have done a few more times. haha.
i think this station was the most fun le.

at woodlands we had to hook cans and bottles with rods.
not worth the transport time i think.
lols.

at hougang we had to collect newspaper.
like last year.
but other groups took the newspaper le. and we had little to collect.
i must comment that the trip from woodlands bus interchange to hougang took super long!
not because of the bus speed.
but because it was from the start of the route to the end of the route.
we thought bus was faster than mrt at first.
but i still think mrt can beat bus time.
1 hour on the bus! lols.
sleeping. jessica was quietly sleeping because she slept 1 hour the night before.
imba luh, from 5 to 5.50 called sleep leh.
it's like a nap to me.
and she can still help us with so many stuff.
proness.

then at plaza sing we had to rearrange the mrt stations in the right format.
which we were puzzled with.
but luckily bryce took photos of some parts of the mrt line,
because jessica say got use later.

we went to central to collect a sticker without the need to do anything.
lols.

we were really rushed for time.
but we made it at vivocity. 4.15 i think.
20th to reach, out of 90 teams.
haha, peng fei's team 18th.
sad that only top 10 got prize.
haha nvm because jessica even bought us some sweets from candy empire ltr.
so cool.
must really thank our facilitator for helping out so much
even though she was tired.
thank you jessica.
haha.

had loads of fun in this year's en-mazing race.
improved from last year. haha.
besides having fun also learnt new things along the way.
being green. planning properly.
and also about working as a team to achieve smt.
that's what makes tday so meaningful.

anyways, we had dinner at subway after the event.
shared subway meltz with pf.
lols, we felt it was a little too dry and bland.
i think it's because we only put sweet onion sauce and honey mustard as sauces.
next time must put mayo haha.
and put pickles in haha.
the chocolate chip with m&m's nice leh haha.
2 days never eat dinner at home le.
getting used to it alr. haha.

wow, super long post for tday :D
good to type everything out. haha.
gtg le, good nights.

heyys.

man, didn't go out tday
even when i had the chance to.
i thought the badminton guys were going out to play lan or watch a movie.
so i stayed at home and did my homework all day.
not the way anyone would choose to spend the holiday by.

the mid years are approaching.
which, maybe, explains the decreasing number of ppl online playing dota.
well, i'm not too sure, maybe they just went out for the day.
hees, luckily junwei was free to play with me a game of dota in the afternoon.

i'm hoping to get myself a school bag over the weekends.
the 2 strap backpack kind.
because i find that the bag i'm using now is too small to put books in.
when it is loaded with books, the strap very pain also.
i'll get a bag which feels comfortable next time around.

other than a backpack, i'm looking for nba 09/08.
lols. although i still have fun playing fifa 06,
but sometimes i feel bored playing it.
i'm waiting for the price to drop, hopefully they drop it soon.
then i don't have to spend too much money on it.
i bought fifa 06 for 50 dollars i think, when i was pri 6.
around the time tunren bought it too. haha.
that was in the year 2005, near the release date of the game.
must wait quite long before it becomes cheaper.
lols, maybe now they will sell fifa 06 for a much lower price, 20, 30?

i just need something fresh to play with.
there are times in life where we need a change.
something fresh, something new for a change.
it may mean getting new shoes, getting new toys, learning smt new.
that may be the reason why humans are not very satisfied with whatever they have.
most of us at least, including me.
maybe its our nature to do so.

gtg, good nights.

heyys.

just came back from vivo.
had a small class gathering there.
actually wanted to watch movie, but the showing times were at 9,
which were too late.
ethel, pearlyn, huishan, veron, youxiang, yujun, bryce, pengfei, wenxuan and i went.
we went to pizza hut after much hesitation of walking arnd.
shared 4 pizzas, haha.
but it was expensive.
oh well, at least i made up for not spending ytd.
i spent 1.90 ytd. so the amt of money i spend tday hopefully balances the amt i spent in 2 days.

then we went to the top of vivo. skygarden or smt.
and talked about stuff.
i don't know how to talk so i listen to other ppl talk.
haha.
then went home.

tday's learning journey was fun.
the guide was funny and a good speaker.
the tour around the island was insightful, because i saw that plants can grow on landfills to make them pretty. mangroves are indicators of the water hygiene.
the talk about zero waste was quite good also.

the ship ride was the best part le.
when i first boarded the ship, felt super weird.
then after minutes of shaking side to side,
i got used to it.
the lower deck got aircon and upper deck got wind.
during the return ride, there was drizzle and the upper deck was cold and windy.
my head felt cold lols.

overall, an insightful and interesting learning journey.
and an memorable one,
because i still feel as if i'm swaying side to side in a boat.
lols, hope it'll be okay aft some sleep.

gtg, enjoy your long weekend.
good nights.

heyys.

yay, finally no more tests until mid yrs.
yesyes, haha.
chem and math was okay.
but i don't know if i made careless mistake in the math test.
it was thundering during the chem test.
haha, i was sure to have felt the vibrations the thunder caused.

played basketball till very late.
rly late.
i think we were the last few students to be at the school bus stop.
reached home at 8.30 lols.
the sky was so dark.
i thought the atmosphere when its dark is quite nice.
cool air, dim conditions.
but home is still best.
haha, being alone at night time makes me feel so lonely.
so go back home feel more warmth.
lols.

my ankle feels numb after playing ball. lol.
tmrw training outside school.
cannot be late again ._.
i don't like training outside school, need travel and the training time also quite short.
but still have to live with it.
gtg, bye.

heyys.

it was raining very heavily just now.
like a white fog, can barely see buildings far away.

been studying for math and chem.
both tests on monday. lols.
long time nvr do integration, now try to do the revision ws,
can faint.
chemistry also, last minute mugging makes me go crazy.
so i've decided to play dota. lols.

yay, after monday can have a short break from tests.
haha.
last thursday and friday had bio and physics test.
bio was quite hard, physics also.
next week got learning journey, hahas.

feeling uneasy abt math and chem.
me becoming mugger.
but still not really a complete mugger yet. yays.

like how playing basketball cheers me up, i'm sure it'll work for your too.
gtg, bb.

heyys.

lols, feeling very tired now.
used computer for too long liao.

didn't go lan tday. lols.
as it was rather late when we got our smart cards,
the badminton boys went to vivo.
yy, yz, jw, clement, brian, ian, ming kang, yong jie, chin hong, 'shupardy' and i went to eat.
at burger king.
then we played 'zhong1 ji2 mi4 ma3'.
guess the number to do forfeit.
lol like that makes sense.
the forfiet was to drink the banana tasting drink.
made of coke, sprite, chili sauce, ketchup, fries, burger.
freaking sick.
then lingered arnd vivo and went home on a long 97 bus ride.

played dota agn.
lols, one week nvr play liao.
tday play nt very fun.
dont feel like playing agn le.

gtg,
good nights.
