  Im feeling less inclined to blog, life is just way too packed. But i know its still a must, to keep you people updated.

I'll keep it short for i still have a pile of assignments to work on & dinner with my relatives later in the day.


I've been officially acepted into TPJC's track & field team together with Jing Han, & with Robert Lee Zhan Wei as our boss, its just a matter of time before we blend in together with the rest of team. I just abhor the introduction part where we have to break the ice and all, hope we can just fastforward to the point when people starts to click. Well, guess its just a fixed cycle of meeting friends.

Semestral Exams had really been blight.
simply saying, if my results were to be reflected on my end of year promos result slip, i will have to stay back for an extra additional year of education.
I'm lucky to say, this had also brought me to my senses, time to mug.

Friday was good, went to eat with zhan wei, cheryl lua, sharon & gabsiew after track&field meeting.Head down to coastasands for a short swim thereafter, bought some tasty subway cookies to munch on ( that was when i saw jane) & left for home.

Sat, brought P5 kids from Red Swastika School to Marina floating stadium for NE show2.
throughout the show, i was submerged in a deep sense of nostalgia. The class that i interacted with ( 5/2) most of the time really reminded me of what i was like during p5 together with mingswee, edmund, liangkai & gang. Those were really good times man.

& SG is really a small world for
1. One of the students that i took is Brendan Lim's youngest brother, total smaller scaled carbon copy of him.
2. One of the Red Swas teacher is my eldest brother's good buddy, who's also a member of AHS Boys Brigade years ago!

I walked in to the school not expecting to meet anyone i know, then i went into one of their store rooms to get ready the fun packs for the p5 kids, then this teacher turned to me all of a sudden and went " how's your brother ? "
yeah so that was when i realized, i actually met this guy before.

Well, im suprised that my stress level hasn't bloated up yet despite knowing that i'll be ending school @ 6pm everyday for the rest of this week.

Hope that i'll remain cheered. ( shouldn be a problem with regular dosage of bullshit from farmer hong) hahaha.

sorry that this blog is in a chronic state of stagnancy, i will find time to make up for sure.
For now, studies come first, 9 more weeks to promotional examinations. yeeha!



these kneegrows are mindblasting.


I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but
IGot to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's The Climb

The struggles
I'm facing,
The chances
I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I mean I know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith  ¶ 12:33 PM 0 Comments

  DID YOU KNOW?: THE KING OF HEARTS IS THE ONLY KING WITHOUT A MOUSTACHE.

TO ANDREW [ the guy who tagged on my board ] : hey im so sorry pal, i lost his number already, hm you can try looking @ newspaper ads, his name is andrew as well.

blazing through the month of may ;

4th - 22nd : i have no idea what happened already, i just know i was not feeling very comfortable.

20th May TPJC SPORTS DAY
: took part in the 12X100 m relay event and my class got 5th. Thou results aren't very satisfying but i guess everyone tried.
stayed back for some edurace rehersal rubbish after which and that made 09s27,28,29 wait for 4-5 hours to no avail. So, that finally enlightened me on the efficiency & competency of the School's staff, well it isnt too much of a suprise anyway.
If this is the example that teachers are setting for us, then, the teachers shouldn't be too demanding of us.


29th -31st May
: Overnight LAN session with aziel, jiajie, jianfeng &
Modern Dance Club BBQ cum stayover in school


Went for an overnight lan session with the 3 peeps mentioned @ crossfire, then left for school @ 7.15am. Trained for panorama til around 2pm then i left for home with gabriel, to sleep coz the lan session had taken its toll on me, while MDC were having games in school.
I heard the games were rather cool, they played stuff like Chocolate relay,
teams of 4, team have to finish a bar of chocolate while completing 1 round of the track.

woke up in the evening and went for MDC BBQ.
Mixed a concoction of diluted orange syrup with jiamin , ate , watched& listen to tzy haw flaunt his guitar skills & had a mini sing-along session.

Went for games after that and i think that was the highlight of the whole stayover which also blew everyone else and i onto cloud9.
after splitting into groups of 4, my group comprising of joeyee, eugene & leslie.
We had to run around the school & search for clues while holding on to chin chow into our hands,
someth like a mini-nightwalk-amazingrace. Instructions had been given that the group with the least chin chow collectively will have to eat up all the chinchows. I guess that made the game really sexciting and gave rise to the series of guirella warfare, where try to spill other group's chinchow.
The clues eventually piece up the name of a genre of dance & we had to design costume & choreograph a dance item on the spot with close reference to the genre. my group's genre really interesting and completely complements my personality, we got bhangra! ( bollywood,indiani dance). [ you can watch the dance item on facebook ]
i must say that was the best time i had with MDC thus far, i had fun TTM.

Bathed & chilled after which, Mr Sum did someth really horny that got me laughing through the night LOL.
Went back to studio and slept, while the bulk of the ppl played cards & stuff.
Woke up the next morn & left for home


1 - 3rd June:

1st june was spent in school rehersing for panorama, the funny thing is that juzhong & i led MDC in rehersals @ the later part of the day due to certain reasons that cant be disclosed.

2nd June was spent @ esplanade rehersing the whole fucking day, it was also then i really talked to the MDC peeps cause there was practically nothing to do while waiting for other performing arts groups to reherse.
this was what happened, we started rehersal @ 9.30am and finished @ 10.30am
we had nothing to do all the way until 4.30pm for the full rehersal.
Learnt more about the people in MDC, hmm, well, its not a complete waste of time afterall.
went home @ approximately 7.

3rd June - Panorama!

I thought i was late cause i woke up at 8.10 am when the bus is supposedly leaving TPJC for esplanade @ 8.30am. I rushed and took the train to cityhall, bought some breakfast while talking to chelsia to settle tickets stuff & wasted alot of time thinking that would be sufficient to escape 1 rehersal. AMAZINGLY, i was still early when i reached esplanade.

that day was really packed, rehersed twice in total before the actualy performance.
learnt how to play this cool card game called BANG, its rather amusing when you go like,
hey jiamin, i want to bang you. The game also revealed each other's skills in being a scheming asshole and the sore losers.

before long, we were up on stage, exhibiting the michael jackson in everyone of us.
I enjoyed the dance.
Rushed down with rachel to meet up with the dudes who came to watch the concert after which.
I really appreciate you guys for coming though i didn express it the other day cause i was too busy socializing, im sorry if i disappointed you guys,
thanks again sheena, aziel , chris , jiajie, chelsia, amelia, yulin!
thanks for the sunflower.

4th June,
Had GP tutorial in the noon, talked to my GP teacher WHICH IS SAMUEL's FATHER [ SAMUEL FROM AHS 4L'08 ] , chilled at lionel's house then went to watch TPJC guitar concert - MUCHACHOS DEL TANGO.
the German Hitler Ensemble that came to perform is awesome.

6th - 7th June

Went for NDP usher training in the morn, 9am @ NgeeAnn Poly.
Went in late tgt with gabsiew & eugene.
The day was rather well organised and played a lot of games which required teamwork & much analytical skills which i liked.
Went to SIM for lunch and continued with games after which.
Inbetween, the founder of heartware organisation gave a speech which sparked me.
60 people will be picked amongst the 400 NDP volunteer ushers to be the personal assistants of some bigshot CEOs @ the end of the year for one whole week.
sounds pretty OSSUM.
met Andrea & Qian ye there as well.
Slacked around with gabriel and andrea for a short while before making my way to CZZ 'slope king no more', house.
his place is SUPERB, its fully airconditioned, theres a really big pool table, some 40 inch tv coupled with a WII console that has GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR.
that place is a total stress reliever, if you dont want to study, thats the place to go!
did our stuff til 4-5am ++ and slept.

woke up at 9+ the next morning, went out for brunch, continued slacking all the way til 4+, bballed and made our way home.

i had the best week of 2009.


I haven't been showing appreciation for the people around me and have been taking them for granted recently. I know of this existing problem, yet i haven't been doing anything to resolve it.
i deserve a slap on the face. I'm so sorry guys, esp to Aziel & Chelsia.
I think i need some time to rest & sort out my thoughts properly.
Im also very sorry for this poor quality of work, i just wanna let you people know what's been happening


Will find time to improve it soon.

well i do hope the above video will be able to set most of you thinking!
no offence but especially to homosapiens with inverted penises.

alright lets kickstart this post with a

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDMUND TAN PEH HORK.
hope you had a really smashing bday celebration with us(SUSHI.C + MEIHUA & SHANNON) just now although its just like any other celebration with S.C where we ate talked and took photos.
& i must say that you're extremely blessed to have met shannon&meihua! they're awesomely thoughtful, i mean, who in the right mind will plan so much for someone that he/she has known only for 2 weeks! Though i may not know them but their sincerity had already been fortified by their actions! Poly may not be that bad for you afterall!
yeah,you should know this better than i do.

This week was relatively short, went to school for the 1st 3 days & yes, i met sheena on wed!
hahah, there's just this surge of joy that i feel everytime i meet up with her.

On thurs, i met up with aziel early in the morning @ Pasir Ris Polyclinic to get our medical certs.
Interestingly, there's this booth set up for people who's having flu & fever & your sorta jump into the express queue(due to the recent H1N1 FLU outbreak) and thus having to wait lesser time to consult the highly-educated M.C authorizer.
Went home after which with the intention to hit the books, well, ended up exercising our fingers together with nicholas through some intensive strategic gaming sesion.

Went out on labour day's night with fangying to get edmund's present@ orchard & yes we talked quite alot & rather substantially.
& so we mentioned about our lives then she said something which i thought is really insightful
FY ' in order to experience fun, it has a lot to do with one's attitude & on top of that , one must take the initiative to make things fun .'

so, for those out there who's complaining about ur jc life & stuff. here's something for you to ponder upon. Abolish the negative attitude towards whatever that you feel unpleasant about & take more initiative to make things happen! well, i guessthats what i really needed.
thanks ah fang.

Reached home at around 12am or so from orchard then i helped my brother gave out flyers for car insurance @ 7 different carparks in pasir ris in the midst of struggling against faitgue simultaneously. Though my brother didn reward me with any incentives, i felt extrmely rewarded ironically, precisely because he did not offer me any reward. Well, this spirit of offering help but expecting nothing in return is indeed amazing.. Try it. So i finished at 3am and K.O on my bed at 4.

Today's edmund's celebration!
went to his house and did our usuals.moments with S.C are (Y) .

I can't wait to participate in the Angels& Demons race with Edmund next week, if we have been selected that is. Selected participants will be given 2 A&D shirts & 2 movie tix for A&D.
Winner will be rewarded with a 5 days europe trip for 2.

&yes, there's gonna be another long weekend this week, cheers to vesak day.
endure guys, lets make the best out of what we have.  ¶ 12:09 AM 0 Comments

  aziel mendel kc's bday celebration before i embark on the highly dreaded Preliminary Ideas for PW & other school-related tasks,
i shall make a succulent short post to sum up yesterday.

2j birthday celebration for nickelbat, bermuda & girl-whos-dieting-for-17-years.



met up with the usual 2j bunch, at around 6.30pm @ E!HUB & of course it goes without saying, i was the earliest to reach. Dined at BUDDY HOAGIES. the quality of the food there's unexpectedly better than i thought though the portions kinda small. Had a really great time talking & catching up with one another, both chris and weihua are really lucky for having quite a number of pretty girls in their classes. Then the girls started expressing their narcissitic qualities with their 'never-do-without' cameras, the guys were bored so we followed suit! lol.

Aziel & Mendel received a pink and a blue 'indian-like-curly-hair-huggable-teddy-bear'
& diet-girl got some playboy boxers.

took more photos then the guys and the girls went seperate ways while some went home.
girls went to mahjong & the guys went to work out our fingers @ tmart lanshop.

went home at around 12+ & caught alil bit of jacky wu's show.

Well, thou the short night isn't very special as compared to other birthday celebrations but
as compared to school-days, it draws in stark contrast! Comparing them relatively, i was on cloud9 last night hahah, thats how fantastic my school life is!

yeah 2j,thanks man, every time we meet up, it never fails to bring me joy.

ok and anyway, i'm recently hooked up with this Facebook application- epicpetwars.http://apps.facebook.com/epicpetwars/facebookHome/home

its sorta a cross between POKEMON & MAFIAWARS
like how ppl from CUBA & ICELAND cross to become little ice cubes
& ppl from FRANCE & GREEK cross to become little freaks

cheers to russel peters!

, try it its rather fun. ( for me at least, was a pokemon die-hard fan in the past)


my pet.

alright, thats all i have, will upload the photos when i get them in my hands.

to everyone out there & esp to jc-kiddos,
cheers to labour day & its only 4 more weeks to school hols!
yeeha. so, endure just alil bit more.  ¶ 11:05 AM 0 Comments

  2009's first! guys, i'm bacK!

have not been here for quite some time already mainly due to

1. time-eating JC-life
2. lack of time management
3. absoluteZERO motivation to blog

Well, the poly-kids have started school & JC-kids are drowning in their intensive amount of commitments.Its almost impossible to find time to catch up with them due to conflicting time slots therefore i have made the decision exploit this blog to the utmost, making it serve as portal to update YOU PEOPLE about whats going on around me!

PS chelsia, jane for dragging so long & yah thanks edmund tan, you gave me the motivation to
key words into this blank space.
_______________________________________________________________
Shall kickstart this by sharing this awesomely beautiful mail that jinghan forwarded.


There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who died too early on this earth.

Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren..

Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive, Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without sin..

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.
________________________________________________________________
I supposed the question that you homies out there have in mind is
- hows your jc life?
