well.. time to update i guess haha..
christmas was great! as usual. mostly got cookies from some PLHers and some other cool gifts too. the marcopolo jersey, the liverpool bags, and a "liverpool training kit" HAHAHA! wrote cards to almost everyone in PLH i think.
then went to play football on the 26th with luke and his J2 classmates. first game we won 3-1. i scored 2 and luke got one. prinsep combination! haha. then second game we won 5-3. i got 4 and some other guy got one. havent played on the full field for very long. and two games is tiring like crap!!! at least scored quite a few.
then 27th dec was the synod thxgiving dinner. not much. just go there and eat haha.
29th (sat) went for band prac then lunch then went to aunty cat's house for DG gathering! haha. watched "catwoman" and played one game of mafia, then had a surprise bday party for sharon, pizza for dinner, one solid massage chair!!!, and then we went down at 9.30pm to play basketball and captain's ball until 10plus. so it was real dark, but we still could see the ball a little. haha. reached home pretty late, but good thing is man utd lost to west ham 2-1! lol..
30th (yesterday) after playing guitar for PLH worship had to be MC for the PLH graduants ceremony. didnt really think of what to say, so just impromptu everything on the spot. heh. think i said some funny nonsense as usual.. then after lunch at plaza sing went home and slept until the thxgiving dinner at presbyterian high.
today: went to weng shian's house just now to play football. kinda tiring cos the sun was so hot. so in the end we played four quarters to get more rest inbetween. lol. managed to score 11 goals. but the ppl i was playing with were like.. pri sch i think.. haha. except for joe, who scored quite a few himself:) the next oldest ones i think were weng shian, jeremy, e-sean, keng gene and his two frens. ok so they're all about pri6 and sec1. but they're not bad. haha.
well.. looks like another year has come to a close. i must say i've really grown alot this year. grown in God i mean.. i dont seem to have grown much physically :( lol.. made new friends, made better frens too.. yep.. well.. learn lots too i guess. dun think i can go into detail about my reflections for the year. it's too long and i dun think my fingers can hold out. haha. unless u really really wanna know, then pls tell me, i'll try my best. i think. still havent got my thoughts together. so my mind is not totally like.. arranged? i dunno. things are still abit jumbled up. need to sit down with a piece of paper, tonight after watchnight service maybe, and write down everything. haha.
well.. happy new year to everyone!
God be with you in the coming year(s) to come!:) peace out!

PLH camp 2007 B.B.C.
man... i'm sooo sad right now... liverpool lost to man utd last night.. sian.. and man utd had like only 3 shots the whole game.. never mind.. i don't really wanna think abt it. let's look at the positives.. we controlled the whole game and had many shots just that we couldnt convert them into goals.. there's still a long way in the season to go and we can catch up.. we have a game in hand over the other 3 big guns.. the way we controlled man utd for the whole second half was encouraging. and the kop sang "you'll never walk alone" at the final whistle again. well.. so far i think arsenal have been the toughest test of the season so far for us. man utd are just real lucky.
anws.. let's look at some happier things.. like the PLH camp! haha. BBC stands for Body Building Camp. (building up the body of Christ)
the first day the campers arrived at 2pm. i actually arrived the night before cos dad had to stay over cos the youth comm stayed over to prepare for the camp. anws.. lydia led worship first and i played drums. after a whole year without playing drums for PLH worship was kinda rusty and made some mistakes with me beat. we got our groupings afterwards and my grp was called Spongebob Squarepants. -.- lol.. so had ice-breakers and then shower! whoo! the second floor guys toilet shower rocks!! the water is real warm and nice. haha. first day was actually kinda uneventful til night time. i led worship. think it was pretty ok. hosanna rocks man! i will lead it again the next time i lead worship. haha. my room was addicted to it the whole camp. ok, mostly the twins and i haha. then it was Dad's talk on building the body of Christ and then the BBC news night! haha. think all the groups had real good presentations! like shane the muscle man, and weng shian with his british voice impersonation haha. then at night the conference room boys stayed up late to talk. actually it was kinda bad cos i was supposed to be in the music room. then those who wanted to stay up late went over to bunk in the conference room. then the music room was for good boys who wanted to sleep early. haha. anws.. the Cake Sai Clan was formed! talked abt some stuff which shouldnt be put up here cos it was mostly the guys' opinions abt girls and stuff LOL. slept pretty late. but we managed to wake up early the next day.
all the boys were up early and went down for morning devotion and breakfast. then we had worship and a second talk by Dad. then it was the outdoor games. think my group handled the tasks pretty well and managed to reach farrer park field the first. (the game was kinda like amazing race) and then it was the flag game. each group had made their own flag and had to protect it. i went on offence, as always, and had to steal other groups flags from their base. actually there was a rule that if u got hit by the water bombs u had to return to base but it was soon ignored and forgotten. lol. so the whole game became a mass scramble in the mud for flags. then i managed to steal the barney group's flag and actually didnt know what to do with it cos the initial plan was just to get the flag and there was no plan of what to do AFTER u got the flag. haha. well.. the PLHers made my mind up for me. RUN. cos once ppl saw i had gotten hold of the first flag, they came chasing after me to get the flag for their own group. o.O so it came to me to get back to base. so ran the whole field and managed to evade everyone else and get a touch down back to spongebob base! team spongebob 1 others 0. haha. in the end there was no final score cos it became so messy and everyone was muddy and stuff. became nothing but smashing mud at each other. lol. all i know was our flag stayed clean and dry the whole time, cos at the end of the game, steve took it out of his pocket and it was as clean as ever. haha. good on ya stevie! then it started to rain and we all went to take shelter at a void deck nearby. when it became real heavy, the water started to flow down the corners of the roof of the shelter. so i took of me shirt and started to wash it and take a mini-bath. soon all the other guys were following my lead and, much to the despair of the girls, our shirts were all clean and we were having a good time bathing. haha. then walked back to church after the rain had stopped. took real baths and changed into our nice formal clothes for the christmas dinner. there was exchanging of gifts and stuff. and the guys had to give roses to the girls haha.. thaddeaus was declared man of the match in the Cake Sai Clan room for giving his rose to angelina haha. takes guts man. even I was shaky in giving my rose to a girl. lol.. then there was worship explosion! some nice songs which uncle alvin led. i was standing with zek, david and steve. could see they were enjoying it, except steve. haha. then we asked for one way at the end, which the band kindly obliged to playing:) then after the worship was that time of night again.. where the Cake Sai Clan gather for funtime! haha..
first up was the ground-wrestling championship! it was a mini royal rumble. (royal rumble is actually 30 ppl, we had 6 guys competing.. so its like.. one-fifth.. haha.. the other boys were too small to play.. Cake sai clan has roughly 10 ppl? me, the twins, zek, steve, shaun wong, jeremy, shane, keng gene, weng shian, yiren, thaddeaus, jon quek (who only slept at the side at night and eavesdropped on our talks lol..) so that's.. abt 13. haha. those competing in the royal rumble were me, the twins, shaun, jeremy and yiren. (zek's leg was injured, steve was sick, and the rest were too small-sized to compete. so they cheered on from the side of the room) lol.. i was drawn as the first guy in, along with jeremy.
rules are: the next competitor enters the fray after one minute intervals, we are not allowed to strike with our hands or kick, only grappling and stuff, to eliminate an opponent you had to pin both his shoulders on the floor.
well.. needless to say, being the first one drawn in, i was afraid of losing my proud record of having never lost a fight.. but i made a good start at jeremy's expense.. pinned him in under a minute.. sorry little bro.. then next in was yiren.. tougher than i expected.. didnt manage to pin him. next thing i knew i was hauled off him by shaun who had entered next. it became a mass brawl as david and jon entered soon after. i dont really recall how yiren got eliminated.. but soon only the big 4 were left standing: shaun, the twins and i.
i was credited as the under-dog, being the smalliest, scrawniest, thinnest guy among the four of us. and shaun is a rugger and the twins lift weights (and plates, now that they are working). so there was a massive size and strength difference. i tell you, i looked pathetic standing in the ring with them. moreover, i had been first to enter, so i was also the most tired..
decided to form a temporary alliance with shaun against the twins cos was afraid they might gang up on me if we eliminated shaun. so we went for david. but soon shaun was preoccupied with jon and i was up against david. somehow managed to pin him. haha. they credit it to me having good tactics and stamina. as well as hidden strength in the scrawny body of mine haha. like i was able to lift and pin them and stuff. as well as being able to stand my ground when we go head-to-head in a pushing battle.
then when david was out i teamed with jon to pin shaun cos we both knew we would have a much tougher battle one-on-one with shaun then with each other. after a long while, we managed to pin both his shoulders on the floor with a combined effort. (one guy on each shoulder. lol) that left me and jon. and like little shane exclaimed: look at the size difference! haha.. and jon had been last to enter too. so he was most fresh. when we went into a test of strength he flung me to the side real easily lah lol..
well.. after minutes of circling each other and analysing the other (actually we were just tired and needed to rest, HAHA.) we grappled with each other. somehow i managed to get jon on the floor and tried to pin him. got one shoulder down but the other one was still up. then after a while he gave in cos i think my knee was on his chest or something. haha. so that made me the Cake Sai Clan ground wrestling champion! lol.. well.. the other 3 guys were pretty stunned by it. but i must say they were good losers and accepted defeat graciously.. i was just relieved to have got out alive. lemme tell you, the three of them are monsters. and that was the toughest fight i had ever been in. (partly cos it was against 5 other guys) after the match couldnt even get up properly. felt like throwing up and my whole body was in pain. we also suffered multiple abrasions on our knees and elbows due to the carpet floor. haha..
well.. all i can say is.. size doesnt matter, and heart and mind are very important too. so to all u small people out there.. get strong in the mind and then transfer it to ur muscles haha. seriously, andrenalin rush made me stronger to pin them haha.
well. after a good bath again, the boys were about to play our nightly round of games. but there was an extra rose in the room! this next part is actually illegal. as guys are not allowed on the girls' floor.. but.. er.. anws.. i was written a script by david and the guys, and we all went up to the girls' rooms. went to the room kym was in and i had to give her the rose after saying some romantic stuff. lol.. well she accepted the rose and we all rushed back downstairs so we wouldnt get caught. k we didnt do anything like peep or what and the whole thing took less than 3 minutes.. but i guess it was still against the rules.. so.. er.. sorry. oh ya, i had given kym my rose at dinner too. some of the guys even took like 5 to 10 roses to give lotsa girls lol.. i gave one to kym and one to my sis. (and one to kym again at night. so that's 3 roses i dished out.) well.. after that crazy stunt, the guys had Round 2 of our night talks. haha. what is said in the room, stays in the room.. well.. we slept at abt 3am.
woke up the next morning for service and i think all the guys managed to stay awake. and checked out of our rooms too. and that was the end of the PLH camp 2007 haha.
well.. it was pretty fun and good lessons were learnt on building the body of the church. good friendships were formed in the Cake Sai Clan too. lol. so i guess it was pretty beneficial. i know most of the guys sure enjoyed it haha. whew.. rocks man..
anws.. let's look at some happier things.. like the PLH camp! haha. BBC stands for Body Building Camp. (building up the body of Christ)
the first day the campers arrived at 2pm. i actually arrived the night before cos dad had to stay over cos the youth comm stayed over to prepare for the camp. anws.. lydia led worship first and i played drums. after a whole year without playing drums for PLH worship was kinda rusty and made some mistakes with me beat. we got our groupings afterwards and my grp was called Spongebob Squarepants. -.- lol.. so had ice-breakers and then shower! whoo! the second floor guys toilet shower rocks!! the water is real warm and nice. haha. first day was actually kinda uneventful til night time. i led worship. think it was pretty ok. hosanna rocks man! i will lead it again the next time i lead worship. haha. my room was addicted to it the whole camp. ok, mostly the twins and i haha. then it was Dad's talk on building the body of Christ and then the BBC news night! haha. think all the groups had real good presentations! like shane the muscle man, and weng shian with his british voice impersonation haha. then at night the conference room boys stayed up late to talk. actually it was kinda bad cos i was supposed to be in the music room. then those who wanted to stay up late went over to bunk in the conference room. then the music room was for good boys who wanted to sleep early. haha. anws.. the Cake Sai Clan was formed! talked abt some stuff which shouldnt be put up here cos it was mostly the guys' opinions abt girls and stuff LOL. slept pretty late. but we managed to wake up early the next day.

Synod Youth Camp 2007
whew.. just came back for Synod Youth camp. when i reached home just now straight away went to my bed and slept. haha. now got until 1am before the liverpool game.. so anws.. this is my camp...
Day 0: this was 4Dec (tuesday) and only group leaders had to go. (it's a "pre-camp") we had to report at 2pm at kuo chuan prebyterian sec sch. the day just consisted of ice-breakers and "sai gang". like we had to clean and arrange the tables in the classrooms for the campers coming on the next day. only julian and lydia came with me. made a few new friends with the other leaders from the other presbyterian churches. heh. there's sherman, who's a real funny guy from CLPC, and Si'en, who's a really nice girl, from living praise presbyterian. and others who i can't think of right now. anws, joe, ekping, sam and tim came later at night after their youth comm meeting and we helped to make stuff fo the games.
Day 1: the other campers arrived in the morn. PLH had two groups. J and K. J is my team (me, lydia, hannah, daryl, kara, huixian, tim, sam, miguel and mitchell from presbyterian high school) we were called Justice League! and let me tell you we had some fantastic cheers and a great team morale. haha. the other team, K, was Kaypo o.O haha.. the worships for the camps were ok i guess. but we didnt know quite a few of the songs. our speaker, bishop Al Stewart (from australia) was pretty good. really enjoyed his talks. i had to pay attention to all of them anyways cos as group leader i had to lead the group discussions. haha. there were electives, and i went for the guitar crash course which i think wasnt very good. especially for the poor beginners. and a talk on spiritual gifts. then we had the group games!! it was the rat race which consisted of tasks and challenges that we had to do. and by the end of Day 1 guess what.. Justice League was top of the table with a whopping 1860 points! followed closely by Group A with 1804 points. (Group A was Si'en's group) there was also this crazy drink (carbonated water with oldenlandia) like what?? and we had to drink cans of it. the leaders even had to go up on stage afterwards to drink a whole can! >.< most people didnt finish it. but i did.. and got kinda sick afterwards. as in like, feel like abit nauseous and groggy. heh.. there's this "clubhouse" at night too which was our time to relax from the day's activities. so it was good. PLH played werewolf together. which is like mafia, only more complicated. and the leader's had to go for a nightly meeting at 11pm to give feedback on the day and stuff.
Day 2: the camp pretty much has the same routine everyday, which is quite ok, so morning would be breakfast, then worship, the talk, and then group discussion. think my group was really great, like we learnt to open up to each other and stuff. made my job of leading them even easier:) then we will have lunch and our electives. day 2 my electives was sports psychology and some teacher talk. both were pretty good. the sports psychology had to do with the part mentality had to do with sports, and the teacher talk was more like realising God's plan for you. like you don't HAVE to become a teacher.. haha. i don't plan on becoming one anyways.. never have.. then we were supposed to have outdoor games but then it rained real heavily :( felt real sorry for the organising committee. looked like they had put in a lot of effort to set up the battlefield on the school soccer pitch for battle royale and captain's revenge. it was both positive and negative for justice league. it was negative cos we were really pumped up for the games. and i was psycho-ing myself up too. getting hyper and all that. until like lydia and hannah had to tell me to calm down. lol. it was positive because that meant that at the end of day 2, justice league was still leading the pack! haha.. due to the games from the previous day. anws.. the afternoon was kinda wasted but it gave me a chance to bathe. haha. then after dinner the PLHers had our nightly game of werewolf and i had to go for my leader's nightly meeting too.
Day 3: since it was the second last day of camp and the last day of games, Justice League was super pumped up on this day. after breakfast, worship, the messsage and group discussion, we made up some cheers. super solid cheers man. haha. real funny too. and the whole team was shouting it pretty loud together. we had to serve lunch too. i decided to go on rice duty. like, scoop rice for people. amazingly, most of the portions i gave to people were correct. hahaha. anws, the day's game was the Amazing Race! haha.. it was 4 hours of solid racing and completing tasks and stuff. but it ended pretty fast to me. haha. maybe cos we were so hyper about it. unfortunately, we didnt do really well for the amazing race and so lost top spot.. in the end, group A, which was led by Si'en, won. haha. but actually the points, as we found out later, didnt really count for anything. anws, the guys went to shower and there was this super long queue. and it became real funny, cos everytime a guy came out of the cubicle after bathing everyone would be like cheering and stuff. lol. and then the next guy would go in and try to bathe as fast as possible. then after dinner we had worship and the Finale Night. Shaun (lee) and Sarah Smith were the MCs for it. so the PLHers were really hyper. first there was an archapella group which was really good. and then the auctions. this was really funny cos shaun and sarah would give some crappy clues about what was the prize and you had to use the points you had gathered from the games as your money. but we didnt really bid for anything, so our points were pretty much wasted. lol.. anws, after the Finale Night i had to go for the leader's meeting again. lights out was actually supposed to be 1am but the leader's meeting ended at 12.30am. but it didnt really matter cos in the end i slept much later than 1am.
Day 4: the last day.. actually felt kinda sad to be leaving camp.. but oh well..after the usual routine of breakfast, worship, message and group discussion, we had to do clean-up for the whole school. then after the debrief we had lunch, after which i went home with joe.
all in all i think the camp was a good time of fellowship with me own lighthouse people, as well as making new friends from other churches. which serves to build up the church of God. also, as group leader i was able to grow as well. but i had a great team behind me too:) Justice League actually made me realise how important the team is. like teamwork and morale and everything. it ain't ALWAYS down to the leader. no matter how good a leader u are, if ur team can't be bothered then it's really no use. and even if you aren't that good a leader, a good team will help make your job easier. so.. thanks to Justice League once again:) i've really got to know you guys better. as a leader, and also as equals on a personal level.
the talks were benificial to my walk as well. as leader, i had to understand the talk better than most people, so i could lead my group later on. and listening to 4 sermons 4 days in a row ain't easy. haha. but it allowed me to understand some passages better and grow in me faith:) through all the Justice league group discussions, i must say i was really able to reflect and think more about my life and stuff. think maybe it was the same for them too. life is really much more meaningful if you live it only for God:)
peace out mates!
Day 0: this was 4Dec (tuesday) and only group leaders had to go. (it's a "pre-camp") we had to report at 2pm at kuo chuan prebyterian sec sch. the day just consisted of ice-breakers and "sai gang". like we had to clean and arrange the tables in the classrooms for the campers coming on the next day. only julian and lydia came with me. made a few new friends with the other leaders from the other presbyterian churches. heh. there's sherman, who's a real funny guy from CLPC, and Si'en, who's a really nice girl, from living praise presbyterian. and others who i can't think of right now. anws, joe, ekping, sam and tim came later at night after their youth comm meeting and we helped to make stuff fo the games.
Day 1: the other campers arrived in the morn. PLH had two groups. J and K. J is my team (me, lydia, hannah, daryl, kara, huixian, tim, sam, miguel and mitchell from presbyterian high school) we were called Justice League! and let me tell you we had some fantastic cheers and a great team morale. haha. the other team, K, was Kaypo o.O haha.. the worships for the camps were ok i guess. but we didnt know quite a few of the songs. our speaker, bishop Al Stewart (from australia) was pretty good. really enjoyed his talks. i had to pay attention to all of them anyways cos as group leader i had to lead the group discussions. haha. there were electives, and i went for the guitar crash course which i think wasnt very good. especially for the poor beginners. and a talk on spiritual gifts. then we had the group games!! it was the rat race which consisted of tasks and challenges that we had to do. and by the end of Day 1 guess what.. Justice League was top of the table with a whopping 1860 points! followed closely by Group A with 1804 points. (Group A was Si'en's group) there was also this crazy drink (carbonated water with oldenlandia) like what?? and we had to drink cans of it. the leaders even had to go up on stage afterwards to drink a whole can! >.< most people didnt finish it. but i did.. and got kinda sick afterwards. as in like, feel like abit nauseous and groggy. heh.. there's this "clubhouse" at night too which was our time to relax from the day's activities. so it was good. PLH played werewolf together. which is like mafia, only more complicated. and the leader's had to go for a nightly meeting at 11pm to give feedback on the day and stuff.
Day 2: the camp pretty much has the same routine everyday, which is quite ok, so morning would be breakfast, then worship, the talk, and then group discussion. think my group was really great, like we learnt to open up to each other and stuff. made my job of leading them even easier:) then we will have lunch and our electives. day 2 my electives was sports psychology and some teacher talk. both were pretty good. the sports psychology had to do with the part mentality had to do with sports, and the teacher talk was more like realising God's plan for you. like you don't HAVE to become a teacher.. haha. i don't plan on becoming one anyways.. never have.. then we were supposed to have outdoor games but then it rained real heavily :( felt real sorry for the organising committee. looked like they had put in a lot of effort to set up the battlefield on the school soccer pitch for battle royale and captain's revenge. it was both positive and negative for justice league. it was negative cos we were really pumped up for the games. and i was psycho-ing myself up too. getting hyper and all that. until like lydia and hannah had to tell me to calm down. lol. it was positive because that meant that at the end of day 2, justice league was still leading the pack! haha.. due to the games from the previous day. anws.. the afternoon was kinda wasted but it gave me a chance to bathe. haha. then after dinner the PLHers had our nightly game of werewolf and i had to go for my leader's nightly meeting too.
Day 3: since it was the second last day of camp and the last day of games, Justice League was super pumped up on this day. after breakfast, worship, the messsage and group discussion, we made up some cheers. super solid cheers man. haha. real funny too. and the whole team was shouting it pretty loud together. we had to serve lunch too. i decided to go on rice duty. like, scoop rice for people. amazingly, most of the portions i gave to people were correct. hahaha. anws, the day's game was the Amazing Race! haha.. it was 4 hours of solid racing and completing tasks and stuff. but it ended pretty fast to me. haha. maybe cos we were so hyper about it. unfortunately, we didnt do really well for the amazing race and so lost top spot.. in the end, group A, which was led by Si'en, won. haha. but actually the points, as we found out later, didnt really count for anything. anws, the guys went to shower and there was this super long queue. and it became real funny, cos everytime a guy came out of the cubicle after bathing everyone would be like cheering and stuff. lol. and then the next guy would go in and try to bathe as fast as possible. then after dinner we had worship and the Finale Night. Shaun (lee) and Sarah Smith were the MCs for it. so the PLHers were really hyper. first there was an archapella group which was really good. and then the auctions. this was really funny cos shaun and sarah would give some crappy clues about what was the prize and you had to use the points you had gathered from the games as your money. but we didnt really bid for anything, so our points were pretty much wasted. lol.. anws, after the Finale Night i had to go for the leader's meeting again. lights out was actually supposed to be 1am but the leader's meeting ended at 12.30am. but it didnt really matter cos in the end i slept much later than 1am.
Day 4: the last day.. actually felt kinda sad to be leaving camp.. but oh well..after the usual routine of breakfast, worship, message and group discussion, we had to do clean-up for the whole school. then after the debrief we had lunch, after which i went home with joe.

i'll just write something for the sake of having a title
well today's worship leading was ok i think... altho i think my singing was abit off and the band missed a whole part out of Hosanna. we started worship late again too at 11.15am.. gotta take note of that.. haha.. but it was a good worship leading for me from a personal point of view. i can only hope it served to move the PLHers to really worship God. another note to take would be to have back-up singers standing in front. instead of singing at the back where nobody can see them haha..
then went to play football with dad, uncle gary and some of his frens. so they're all like middle-aged men.. dont think i played very well, but still managed to grab a few goals. then dad injured his leg cos he tripped over my leg.. heh..
and the liverpool vs bolton game is starting at 11pm. i hope we'll get a good win. at least 3-0 or more. show man utd how it's done. hahaha.. i havent forgotten that bolton beat us last yr 2-0 by a freekick which should never have been given. we were, like many times last season, dealt with an unfair result. so i hope we put it right this year. i'd like to see torres and crouch start upfront. but hey, that's rafa's decision.
anws i'll be going for synod youth camp from 4-8 dec. (actually it's 5-8th.. but leaders have to go a day earlier for a "pre-camp") so there'll be no posts for awhile after this one.
peace out!

i can't think of a suitable title
i must say i am feeling much much better now. and it didnt come the way i expected it too. cos today went to ryan's church (cos he came last week so i agreed to go for his, like an exchange program kinda thing) and the worship really was good. its kinda like more intense than what we experience at prinsep. but could really feel God working thru the worship. allowed me to really reflect and think about my life and stuff. guess this may be kinda long, and also quite personal, so won't write it down here. but i know there are many areas of my life where i've not been perfect and maybe have wronged people and stuff. it took a rollicking on tuesday, a long phonecall on thursday, a serious talk with me best bud this morn, and a worship just now to make me realise all these, but hey, God works in mysterious ways, and His plan is perfect. so all i gotta do is trust in Him and live it all for Him.:)
guess i'm feeling more prepared to lead worship tmr. and for the camp too.
time is taking back everything i thought i had. tell me how... beat time with God.
change. i must. i can. i will.

ugh
This has been one of the crappiest weeks of my life. and trust me, i've had some CRAPPY weeks. i fear becoming emo again. why does it always happen at the end of the year? oh, maybe cos at the end of the year, there's nothing to worry about except outside-things. no study-things. and you can bet your bottom dollar, outside-things will affect me much more than study-things. and at the end of the year, everything that has happened throughout the whole year just catches up with you. i feel like one of those chumps in those korean drama series. not that i've ever watched any, but i've heard plenty. feel like the unluckiest guy in the world, but now thinking back, i guess it's not so bad until it's the unluckiest thing in the world..
ok i can go on forever, but shall not waste your time.
*fast-forward and skip all the ranting that will make no sense to you*
dang it's all got into me head..
note to self: must put on a happy Barney face on sunday when leading worship. don't let own emotions affect others. especially other's worship to God.
crap. can't believe the job of worship leading has been given to me just when i'm feeling like this. it's a good thing my 6th sense was tingling again, then i went to ask who was worship leading this sunday. if i didn't, PLH probably would have been staring at an empty pulpit this sunday.
next week also got the synod camp.... how to lead a group like this? i don't think i can hold a Barney face for 4 days from 5-8 dec. who made the groups anyways??? *mumbles to self..*
pardon, what did you say? oh nothing.. *mumbles to self some more..*
oh well.. gotta do what you gotta do..
i just realised i've not been listening to any happy songs as well. been listening to lotsa sad ones. like "untitled", "me against the world" and "perfect" by simple plan, "the reason why", "empty" and "i'm getting over you" by the click five, etc.. etc.. and of course, a few emo songs by my chemical romance never hurt anyone..
*after some thinking..*
well.. guess it's best to pray.. trust God with whatever plan He has.. i just realised all my plans are really useless and there's always stuff to change them and they never work out. (the long-term ones, i mean) and no matter how bad things get, and when there's nobody else on earth, i guess God's always there for me. that's comforting. maybe that's what He's trying to tell me through all these.
hmm.. i feel better already.. i think.. i hope.. i pray..

bored! o.O
hmm... the holidays feel kinda funny.. whenever i'm not out, i feel bored at home with nothing to do. when i'm out then i feel ok but still like it's not enough. haha. and i think i haven't accomplished much yet. ok, i've read two books: The Da Vinci Code and The Jungle Book. the da vinci code was ok. pretty nice thriller but unconvincing from my point of view. the Bible is much more believable. and the jungle book is not the Disney one, it's the novel by some Kipling guy. other than that i'm bored at home with nothing to do and nobody to talk to. everyone's either on holiday or busy with something. and i don't even know why i bother writing on this blog. it's like i'm writing a story to a wall. oh i know why, cos there's nothing else to do anws, except talk to myself haha. hi i-zack! lookin' good! okok.. gotta grow up. heh. hmm... at least later it'll be better.. think i'll go over to YC's at 3pm. then 3am liverpool playing porto. gotta win man. in my point of view, not for the champions league itself, but for benitez. rumours are that he'll be sacked by gillette and hicks. i'm pretty sure if he leaves we'll have to wait a few years at least to win the title. players will leave (especially the spanish ones like torres), the club will have to undergo more rebuilding cos it takes time for new managers to settle, etc etc.. so not looking too bright at the moment..
hmm.. all these and more have just contributed to a less-than-good post o-levels...
synod camp's coming too. how funny. first, i didn't want to go. ok then kana persuaded to go. then all of a sudden ur a group leader and have to go a day earlier than everyone else for a pre-camp kinda thing. oh well.. if ur given a job, it's ur responsibility and u gotta take it.. and u gotta do what u gotta do..
sometimes i don't even know why i bother. sometimes i do know why i bother but then again what's the use. u just get pushed away or pushed around. sometimes ur the best in the world and ur untouchable. sometimes ur the tiniest crumb on a piece of bread. (hey! that's a good one) ah well.. whatever.. sometimes i feel like beating someone to a pulp, but then again, i wouldn't have it in me. :S

welcome back captain zack!
ok internet connection in my house is back. i tell you, my house is breaking down.alot of things are not working anymore. like the air-con for example.
anws, it's time to post abt my trip to malaysia. i can't really remember all the details but here goes..
1st day we drove up pretty early.. woke up to find we reached some place for breakfast. that's when i realised the Chans were there already. so ate together. then continued on to KL and checked into our hotel. the firstday was just shopping. i didn't get anything except a liverpool mini-football. cos my old one is punctured. there was some toast thing if i rmb correctly and the 4 of us (joe, jeremy, jordan and i) were raving over it and devouring them. then we walked around but was mostly only interested in the soccer boots (as always). i watched "Blades of Glory" on joe's Zen too. haha. quite a funny show. but like joe and i said, these are the kind of shows you can only watch with ur male buddies. no elaboration needed.
2nd day was just more shopping. san antonio beat houston rockets too. (in your face joe haha) and we watched "Constantine" before dinner. it's quite a load of crap but makes for good entertainment. had KFC for dinner which was yummy. i'm getting hungry now.. and joe had this thing of taking a picture together every night. which was a great idea! just that after the first 3 nights my phone ran out of batt and i didn't bring my charger.
3rd day (Sunday) we went some place for church. too many lights in my opinion. made it look like a concert.very little reading of God's word too. like no responsive or scripture reading. other than that i think it was ok. the preacher was a liverpool fan too. so good on ya mate! most of the day was spent driving up to Cameron Highlands. had steamboat at some restaurant for dinner too. we also had expected much colder weather n Cameron Highlands so was kinda disappointed to find that it wasn't very cold. think it was only like 20degreesC. so after the steamboat dinner the 4 guys and my sis went outside while the adults were still talking. joe and jer were playing "zah!" (that pri sch finger game) but with added spice. (they posed everytime they made an attack. lol) and jordan and i were complaining how hot it was, so he took off his shirt. mine was only half off. like.. i was still holding it in my arms.. er.. nevermind. crazy things u do when the heat gets to ur head. hahaha. joe and i slept outside on the "couches". there were actually wooden benches. and after some complications we remembered to take the nightly photo. also cos it was pretty late it was kinda hard to take it in the dark. haha. in the end i turned on the lights and used the handphone timer to take the pic. think we talked til pretty late too so next day got a bit sick.
4th day: i couldnt wake up that morning so evryone wentto some cactus place without me. there was also some typing test thing on uncle peter's laptop so everyone was trying it. i think i got 50 words per min. joe had like 76, dad 52, e-sean 35. High School Musical 2 was showing on Disney Channel too. so while the kids watched it i opted to watch videos and listen to music on Joe's Zen. sorry dude, ipod out of batt. after watching high school musical 1, i didn't bother to find out what happened in the second one. all i know was it was summer time. which occurs everyday in spore anws haha. talked with joe on our benches til pretty late too. think almost 4am..
5th day: woke up feeling sick that day. good thing most of the day was just spent driving to malacca. so didnt miss too much. we celebrated aunty hui lan's birthday that night in the hotel that we stayed in for 2006 church camp. joe and i kinda rmb it as the camp we were both in youth comm. and where we played football and he got stabbed by a large stick in the ground. ouch..
on the last day woke up sick again. joe helped me buy a simple plan album when they went out to shop in the morning. anws.. after we checked out, it was just driving all the way back home.
heh. well, not as eventful as the one to auzzie last year but a trip with ur best bud can never really go bad right? this one may have even been more meaningful in some ways. oh well.. the days after the trip have been good i guess..
i've listened to the simple plan album. was so inspired the morning that we reached home from the trip that i went to repair my electric guitar and went to jam at cheang's house with YC and renyi. jeremy got 253 for his PSLE too, good on ya u little tyke! guess his hard work really paid off.
on saturday went to play soccer at joe's too. was kinda rusty. 1st touch wasn't there. still managed to grab quite a few though. altho the kids packed the court so was kinda hard to find any space. joe brought two of his friends to come play too. anws we were pretty late for band prac but still managed to finish quite fast. liverpool beat newcastle 3-0 too. to tell the truth i am pretty disappointed. considering the way we controlled the game we could have had at least 10 goals. like the commentator said, that was the most one-sided premiership game he had ever seen.. good news is bolton beat man utd 1-0. and ferguson got sent off:) finally a referee with some sense. hahaha. and arsenal beat wigan 2-0.. they were lucky they were playing at home and against a weak side (no offence to wigan). if not i think they would have dropped at least 2 points.
anws.. church on sunday was good. yiying and hannah led worship and david, jon and ruby backed-up. good to be back playing for the band. though i think i was abit rusty. especially with my strumming. good think joe was on drums so the telepathy helped. dad took me class too. haha. no surprise to find everyone quieter than usual. though i think it helped to keep the class really under control. haha. went to subway for lunch and later jammed at the jamming studio beside subway. marie came too lol. and i must say her drums have really improved! after a good two hours came home with e-sean. then we went to grandma's house for her birthday. watched "Batman Begins" there. quite an inspiring show too. i hope they come up with a sequel. and they should lah. the last part there was something about the joker. (hahahahahhahahaa)
hmm.. nothing much to do now..

IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN'!! dang haven't seen him in the wrestling ring for quite some time (partly cos i don't watch it anymore and cos he's not in it anymore anws). but anyways it's a darn cool show. will not spoil it for you here. but its got quite good lessons i think..
3pm-6.30pm: then went to YC's house. played abit of squash. then basketball. then there was this OBNOXIOUS woman who came and started scolding us for making alot of noise and she called the security guard and stuff. lol.. says she's the principal of some school. i don't really care who you are, lady. but you're a pain up the u-know-what. then the security guard later apologised to us and said she's a constant nag haha. anws..
8pm-10.30pm: we ordered pizza for dinner and watched "pirates if the caribbean: dead man's chest" whoohoo!!! love that show:) oh but renyi went home after that cos he couldnt sleep over..
11.30pm-2am: then watched "Spider-Man 3" !!! whoohoo!!! love that show too!! actually realised spider-man is a really sad show. people dying and suffering and stuff. but oh well.. it still rocks!!
2am-3am: then we got so pumped up by the show, me and YC started jumping around the couches and stuff. i was pretending to be spiderman and he was sometimes venom or harry osbourne. HAHA. then we decided to do a spoof abt the show lol.. something about plastic surgery which revolved about harry's face after it got blasted by the pumpkin bomb. recorded it on YC's mp3 player thingy.. sounded real good! YC and i also drew a fancy moustache and whiskers for ryan while he was sleeping. and also a picture of a unicorn to show he was dreaming of them LOL>.< HAHAHAHA!!! XD oh man that was HILARIOUS. YC and i were laughing throughout the whole thing. hahaha!xD
3am- 6am: so since that recording experiment was good, we decided to record some songs with his keyboard and classical guitar too haha. stuff like "mary jane" and "empty" by The Click 5. then our own songs. (i decided to do "Crushes of a Primary School Boy" and "I have come to bid you farewell, but this is not the end") so we compiled them into one album called "One night in YC's House" hahaha. but it's only like.. 6 songs and that spider-man thing haha! and by this time, ryan was awake and cheang was sleeping.. so.. drew a fancy moustache for him too!! lol. whiskers and stuff as well. hahaha!!xD oh man i crack myself up sometimes..
6am-8.30am: we were all awake by this time and watched "Death Note 2" real solid. nice show. will not spoil it here too haha. then at 8.30am it meant that i had gone 24 whole hours without sleep. (cos i woke up at 8.30am on tuesday morning) so i knocked out at abt 8.40am. i think YC also stayed up 24hrs. he and i were awake the whole night.
9.30am: woke up and went for breakfast at Junction 8 mac's then went home.
slept when i reached home from 11am to 6.30pm. then me NCC buds came over for another stay-over haha. played cards, talked, and stuff.. ordered macdonald's at 1am. anws.. i slept at 6am. woke up at 10.30am i think. they all went home by then. haha.. whew.. that's the life baby.. but can't do it too often.. not enough sleep haha..
oh yeah.. and i created some true friend test thing too. actually did joe's first but u have to create an account. so i created one and made me own test. first time i did joe's test scored 14/20.. but that's cos i over-estimated his height and there was some question that he set wrongly. did it a second time and got 19/20 haha. did e-sean's one and got 10/15. that's not bad too i think. anws i can't put my test up on the blog cos my html is SERIOUSLY messed up. so if you wanna do it.. go to http://www.truefriendtest.com/friendtest/1229988. yup. quite a few questions are giveaways actually. if you pay close enough attention to what i say sometimes. lol..

Typical...
like i said in my post yesterday.. "well, critics LOVE to write off, criticize, diminish, and blast liverpool. i've learnt to live with that. and i'm pretty sure there're lots of ppl in the Straits Times who are man utd supporters, cos they seriously write alot of stupid articles.."
and once again, my point was proved today. flip over to the "HOME" section of today's Straits Times and go to the SPORTS page. right there will be an article by some dufus called neil humphreys (where on earth to they get these nutcases??) with an article called "The night Liverpool thought they were the Brazil of 1970" o.O.. sorry bozzo, but, we don't think we're the "Brazil of 1970". we've got a different kind of club altogether. and we've definitely got a much stronger and loyal support than them. the kind of support that's gonna criticise ur crap right here.
well.. right after u read his article u'll know that this chump has got no substance nor no common-sense. on a night where we set a champions league record, he just has to come up with something to bring us down and downplay the significance of the absolute demolition of what is probably either the turkish champions or runner-ups.
well sorry punk, but when you start to humour yourself on our manager's goatee and the best striker England has to offer at the moment, then you're seriously lacking in class. no offence to michael owen, but crouch doesn't get injured that often during a season. and no offence to wayne rooney (pfftt..) but crouch has shown he can do it for England at the world-cup and Liverpool in Europe. and when he said crouch would have difficulty out-jumping anyone of the seven dwarfs, it's really just too much. first of all, crouch doesnt need to out-jump them. he's already taller. and second of all i bet he's just too envious cos he couldnt kiss his wife on the lips even if he stood on a chair. the moron. and if crouch can score two goals in the european champions league while u can't even make it in the sunday league and are probly sitting at home infront of the tv with ur spare tyres, stuffing ur chubby face with root beer and chicken thighs, then i say u've got no right to criticise a player who's got the best goal-to-minutes ratio for england at the moment. (and i know he's got a chubby face cos his pic is in the paper. the ass.) why don't u pick on someone ur own size? haha. get it? stupid short stuff..
next of all he criticizes yossi benayoun for "retiring to the dressing room and demand a transfer to a bigger club". well buddy, if u've known yossi benayoun's history, he's worked his way up to where he is. liverpool came calling for him cos west ham is a struggling club. and if u have as much vision as him then u'd probly be able to write articles with more insight. get some glasses, four-eyes..
well.. he's definitely not the only one out there. there're tons of other jealous ppl waiting for some lame reason to criticise liverpool. and no doubt i'll be fuming at every one of those critics and their articles again. but this one really took the cake. by picking on individual players, who were able to stand up and be counted upon last night, then it's really going too far, without even admitting that we were able to handle the pressure and give more than what we were required of. at least the articles by paul tomkins on the liverpool website make lots more sense. and i guess that's what matters. as long as we believe in our own club, then it doesnt really matter what others have to say about it.

Welcome to the Red Parade
football is a funny game. i started watching the EPL week-in-week-out at the age of 9. (before that i was already interested and playing, but nvr watched it on tv properly) and in my 7yrs of watching i've learnt that in football you shouldnt be surprised by anything bcos its full of surprises, so u just have to get used to surprises. but seriously sometimes its just too surprising.
to all of u who are non-football fans (pffft... *rolls eyes*) or non-supporters of liverpool (pffftt! *rolls eyes even more*), i encourage u not to turn away or be put off by this. if u would, pls just read on. u nvr know what could happen. cos football really does things to u.
if u don't already know, liverpool just made history last night. they set a record yet to be bettered by any team in the champions league - liverpool 8-0 besiktas. that smashed arsenal's (who?) 7-0 win against slavia prague (who?) from two weeks ago. i think what last night's game showed is that in anything, don't ever write off liverpool. to be honest, i was starting to fear that this season was gonna be another one of those seasons again.. liverpool out of the title race by christmas. sure, we started off the season well, topping the table for a week after a 6-0 drubbing of derby county, but after that we haven't reached the same standard. in fact, we've drawn 5 out of 6 games at Anfield this season. arsenal are looking much better to be truthful, and i'm still quite glad we're only 6pts behind them at the moment. but looking again, we're still unbeaten in the league (arsenal's the only other team still unbeaten too) and we've been playing ok. the team's been dealt with by injuries to torres, alonso and agger too. so that's handicaps for us in attack, midfield AND defence. so we're actually coping quite well.
last night also showed that if u play the right players, u have a much higher chance of winning. i'm talking about liverpool's strikeforce. peter crouch and andriy voronin were immense. i think that's how liverpool should play. one out-and-out forward with another one dropping deeper to link up the midfield. meaning torres/crouch pairing with kuyt/voronin. or torres with crouch. ok, i didn't watch the whole game. i have to thank joe for calling me at 5am to wake me up and tell me we were winning 7-0. so i caught the last 10min and saw the 8th goal. i watched the highlights too and looked at the stats. well, that was enough to tell me what i needed to know.
anws.. what i'm here to post abt today is looking at the bigger picture and my 16yrs of supporting liverpool (i like to call it 16yrs of support, cos it has always been in my blood)
to be honest, it wasn't easy for me supporting liverpool at the start. back then we had not won anything major for many yrs. we were playing badly and nowhere near the title race. manutd was dominating (confound them i hate their guts) and many ppl were making fun of me and stuff. there was even ONE day i rmb.. and i'm still horrified to this day when i think about it.. i was watching the "EPL highlights" in pri5 and saw man utd decimate some team. i was drawn to it and questioned myself "why on earth am i supporting liverpool?? this team is lots better!!" thoughts of switching loyalties even crossed my mind.. heh. ain't i glad that i quickly came to my senses that day and switched off the TV, ran to my computer and played Fifa 99, set up a game between liverpool and man utd and trashed united's butts upside down and thought to myself "liverpool is still better, liverpool is better.." haha.. maybe it was my dad's influence too. he's been a fan since 1977. that's 30 yrs now. and after so many yrs without the title he was still staying loyal. so at that time it probly went into my head and gave me this "i can never switch clubs" mentality. its all about the club. not the circumstances, not the players, not the trophies. (but liverpool have lots of that anws:)
another thing that has drawn me towards liverpool are the supporters. any football fan will tell u that liverpool fans are the best in the world. i mean, which club has its supporters singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the final whistle when u've lost? which brings me to another reason why i support liverpool. the anthem. "You'll Never Walk Alone" is actually a hymn. and for those of u who don't know the lyrics i STRONGLY encourage you to do so. whenever i hear the liverpool fans sing it, i never fail to get shivers down my spine. this may seem emo, but when we lost the champions league final last yr to AC Milan (go die milan i hate you too) instead of hearing the cheers of them italians, i was hearing the singing of the liverpool fans, it brought a tear to me eye, not cos liverpool lost, but i was over-whelmed by the support of the scousers (ppl from liverpool) and i can tell u i've probly got some scouse in me.
if somebody tells you that man utd are the most succesful club in england, tell them to go to hell. cos liars go to hell. haha. pardon the language. but its true. liverpool, not utd, are the most successful club in england. we've got 18 league titles (man u have 16) and 5 european cups (man u have 2.. laammmee...) so the trophies are another thing that helps.. dont get me started on arsenal and chelsea. they've won practically nothing. (altho arsenal do have 13 league titles, so scant consolation for them)
well, critics LOVE to write off, criticize, diminish, and blast liverpool. i've learnt to live with that. and i'm pretty sure there're lots of ppl in the Straits Times who are man utd supporters, cos they seriously write alot of stupid articles.. but oh well.. no matter how many times we seem like we're gonna fall or falter, the club seems to do someth to increase my belief even more...
let me tell you that liverpool have really changed my thinking quite abit, maybe even helped shape who i am today.. the time when i seriously started believing that miracles could happen was the FA Cup final in 2001. liverpool were losing 1-0 to arsenal with 13min to go when freddie ljungberg rounded westerveld and slotted into an empty net. as a young boy goodness knows why i started praying to God to somehow do something. this may seem kinda stupid, but right after i prayed, michael owen scored 2 goals in 5min (82 & 88min) to hand us the FA Cup. i know its really stupid, but its after that when i started believing in prayer and miracles. haha.
the thing that has really given me faith and hope is the champions league final in 2005. liverpool were losing 3-0 at half-time but we scored 3 goals in 6min (54, 56, 60 min) to tie the game 3-3 and win it on penalties in what has been said to be the greatest european cup final of all-time. and i totally agree with that.
let me tell you its not easy supporting liverpool at times, but for moments like last night's 8-0 win, it's really worth it supporting the best club on earth. so i think that the season still has a long way to go. and no title is lost in november. when May comes, we'll see where we are. its only 6pts, and 2 wins for us and 2 losses for arsenal wil mean we're right up there with them. and we've got fulham coming to Anfield this saturday. so.. things are still looking good.. yes, this is refering to the EPL. but last night's game was in the champions league! well.. maybe after never having seen liverpool win the title before, it has become an obsession now. the champions league still holds importance too. but i'm linking everthing back to the club itself i guess..
anws.. bottom line is that liverpool is definitely a different club from any other. and u probly wouldnt understand it unless ur a supporter urself. but thru all the good times and bad its definitely worth it. sometimes i even wonder whether God has put any link between liverpool and christianity. haha. of course i'm not that stupid to confuse Jesus with Bill Shankly! lol.. okok sorry.. but i do feel there's something about this club called liverpool that is very very special. once again, to all supporters of man utd and arsenal, you wouldnt understand it cos ur living in a lie, but its good that u guys are around anws. if not, where would the competition be? haha!
and last night really set me thinking so much that i even changed the lyrics of "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance! hope you guys like it.. lol..
"Welcome to the Red Parade"
When i was a young boy, my father took me to the TV, to see Liverpool play
he said, "Son, when you grow up, would you be a supporter of liverpool, the best club in the world"
he said, "will you defeat them, your (red) devils, and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made
because one day u'll see that an anthem will lead us in the summer to join the Red Parade."
sometimes i get the feeling i'm wasting all my time
and other times i feel like there're 8 goals (xD)
when thru it all, the rise and fall, the opponents we have beat
and when you're gone we want you all to know..
we'll walk on! we'll walk on! and when you're dead and gone, believe me, our memory will walk on!
we'll walk on! and when our hearts just can't contain it, our anthem will explain it
a club that sends you reeling, we're realising all our dreams
your misery and hate won't kill us all
so paint it red and take to bed, let's sing aloud and clear
defiant to the end, we hear the call..
to walk on! we'll walk on! and when you're dead and gone believe me, our memory will walk on!
we'll walk on! and when you're broken and defeated, our merry Kop walks on
on and on we carry thru the fears. whoaa...
disappointed faces of your peers. whoaaa...
take a look at me, cos i could not care at all
do or die, you'll never make me, bcos the world can never take my heart
go and try, u'll never break me, we want it all, we wanna take you apart (like we did to derby and besiktas)
i won't explain, or say i'm sorry
i'm unashamed, i'm gonna show my scars, give a cheer for all the broken, listen here, listen to me
i'm just a man, im not a hero
just a boy, who wants to sing this song
just a man, not a hero, i... don't... care...
we'll walk on! we'll walk on! and when ur dead and gone, believe me, our memory will walk on!
we'll walk on! and when you're broken and defeated, our merry Kop walks on!!!
oh man.. this has got to be one of the longest posts ever.. but.. hey.. it's all about Liverpool.. haha..

well, critics LOVE to write off, criticize, diminish, and blast liverpool. i've learnt to live with that. and i'm pretty sure there're lots of ppl in the Straits Times who are man utd supporters, cos they seriously write alot of stupid articles.. but oh well.. no matter how many times we seem like we're gonna fall or falter, the club seems to do someth to increase my belief even more...
let me tell you that liverpool have really changed my thinking quite abit, maybe even helped shape who i am today.. the time when i seriously started believing that miracles could happen was the FA Cup final in 2001. liverpool were losing 1-0 to arsenal with 13min to go when freddie ljungberg rounded westerveld and slotted into an empty net. as a young boy goodness knows why i started praying to God to somehow do something. this may seem kinda stupid, but right after i prayed, michael owen scored 2 goals in 5min (82 & 88min) to hand us the FA Cup. i know its really stupid, but its after that when i started believing in prayer and miracles. haha.
the thing that has really given me faith and hope is the champions league final in 2005. liverpool were losing 3-0 at half-time but we scored 3 goals in 6min (54, 56, 60 min) to tie the game 3-3 and win it on penalties in what has been said to be the greatest european cup final of all-time. and i totally agree with that.
let me tell you its not easy supporting liverpool at times, but for moments like last night's 8-0 win, it's really worth it supporting the best club on earth. so i think that the season still has a long way to go. and no title is lost in november. when May comes, we'll see where we are. its only 6pts, and 2 wins for us and 2 losses for arsenal wil mean we're right up there with them. and we've got fulham coming to Anfield this saturday. so.. things are still looking good.. yes, this is refering to the EPL. but last night's game was in the champions league! well.. maybe after never having seen liverpool win the title before, it has become an obsession now. the champions league still holds importance too. but i'm linking everthing back to the club itself i guess..
anws.. bottom line is that liverpool is definitely a different club from any other. and u probly wouldnt understand it unless ur a supporter urself. but thru all the good times and bad its definitely worth it. sometimes i even wonder whether God has put any link between liverpool and christianity. haha. of course i'm not that stupid to confuse Jesus with Bill Shankly! lol.. okok sorry.. but i do feel there's something about this club called liverpool that is very very special. once again, to all supporters of man utd and arsenal, you wouldnt understand it cos ur living in a lie, but its good that u guys are around anws. if not, where would the competition be? haha!
and last night really set me thinking so much that i even changed the lyrics of "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance! hope you guys like it.. lol..
"Welcome to the Red Parade"
When i was a young boy, my father took me to the TV, to see Liverpool play
he said, "Son, when you grow up, would you be a supporter of liverpool, the best club in the world"
he said, "will you defeat them, your (red) devils, and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made
because one day u'll see that an anthem will lead us in the summer to join the Red Parade."
sometimes i get the feeling i'm wasting all my time
and other times i feel like there're 8 goals (xD)
when thru it all, the rise and fall, the opponents we have beat
and when you're gone we want you all to know..
we'll walk on! we'll walk on! and when you're dead and gone, believe me, our memory will walk on!
we'll walk on! and when our hearts just can't contain it, our anthem will explain it
a club that sends you reeling, we're realising all our dreams
your misery and hate won't kill us all
so paint it red and take to bed, let's sing aloud and clear
defiant to the end, we hear the call..
to walk on! we'll walk on! and when you're dead and gone believe me, our memory will walk on!
we'll walk on! and when you're broken and defeated, our merry Kop walks on
on and on we carry thru the fears. whoaa...
disappointed faces of your peers. whoaaa...
take a look at me, cos i could not care at all
do or die, you'll never make me, bcos the world can never take my heart
go and try, u'll never break me, we want it all, we wanna take you apart (like we did to derby and besiktas)
i won't explain, or say i'm sorry
i'm unashamed, i'm gonna show my scars, give a cheer for all the broken, listen here, listen to me
i'm just a man, im not a hero
just a boy, who wants to sing this song
just a man, not a hero, i... don't... care...
we'll walk on! we'll walk on! and when ur dead and gone, believe me, our memory will walk on!
we'll walk on! and when you're broken and defeated, our merry Kop walks on!!!
oh man.. this has got to be one of the longest posts ever.. but.. hey.. it's all about Liverpool.. haha..

aw man...
darn the worship prac this week has been pushed to thursday morning. so i'm not going. looks like i have to wait til december before i can come back to play in the band. :( cos this week still needa prepare for next week's sciences paper 1. think if i do really well for those then the B3s can be secured for physics and chem. if i'm lucky maybe even A2 is possible. but i'm not expecting too much.. then next week will be in malaysia so cant play on my scheduled comeback date of 18 nov. then 25 nov i probly won't play cos not my week. so i guess 2dec?
well but my parents have let me play soccer tmr afternoon with brian and the other guys at bishan. dunno if they'll let me play soccer with joe on sat morn.. actually sposed to have band prac then go and play in the morn before the prac then they allow. but now the prac on thurs so they might not let me.
anws all this talk abt worship just reminded me abt ekping's worship on sunday! haha. oh man that was so fun! i thought i left sunday school 4yrs ago! hahaha xD the childrens songs medley was good man. actually i'm still not so confident to do medleys for my worship yet. but think i'll try it awhile after i come back to worship leading. that was seriously the best sunday school worship i've ever had lol.. ok la not all the songs were childrens songs. but this is one of the few times that i was smiling and laughing so much during worship. atmosphere was good, music was good, worship leading was good;) great job ekping! think u really moved the PLHers towards worshipping God, which is what its all about! so mission accomplished! haha. rock on! (for GOD!)
alright mates. that's all for today. stay tuned for the next update on thelumster.blogspot.com brought to you by none other than thelumster himself LOL.. think i'll try to continue on that story i wrote in july. if u are fans of "The Quest for the Eye of the Stone: They had nothing better to do, so they saved the world!" then hold on to ur horses cos it MIGHT be back here soon.
peace out!

Game O-ver!!!
whooo!!! haha.. finally!!!! the o's are (almost) over!!! yeah baby yeah!! alrighty now i have a one week break til next monday:) yeah that's good yeah..
well, i know many ppl look forward to my regular assesments of the O-level papers so here goes..
SS was pretty good.. i realised i actually studied too much. and should've relied on my instincts more. last two nites slept very little (4.30-8.30am on sat night and 4.30-6.30am last night) so actually super tired now. but nvm. can ta-han a while longer.. anws.. i knew that merger and the srilankan&northern island themes wouldnt come out. so didnt study that. i knew industrialisation and venice would come out, but i dont like them, so didnt study those 2 either. so either conflict&cooperation or spore's development would come out. i had a gut feeling that spore's devmt will be the one to come out but still studied both in case. well.. wasted all that time on conflicts&cooperation.. but nvm. part of the learning process eh? so did spore's sustained development for SEQ. should be ok lah. combined with geog i think possible to get an A for combined humanities:)
then after that was BIO!!! hahaha... well i think i'm quite dead for that. cos i didnt study much for it at all. bio was the subject that i prepared to flunk for to focus on just 6 subjects anyway lah. so hopefully i dun have to use it. which i dont think i will anws. the section A (first 5 qns) managed to get thru with the limited knowledge that i retained from prelims. (limited cos i also didnt study that hard for prelims lol..) then the killer was section B. first question abt drugs, alcohol and smoking.. i dont do drugs man. and i dont drink alcohol or smoke either. so i dun really know their effects on my body ok? next question abt muscle respiration and stuff. just anyhow whack whatever i can think of. then last one not so bad. photosynthesis. so just copy and paste knowledge onto the paper. well.. if i do well for my paper 1 next week think my bio can pass. HAHA.
overall prediction for my results so far are.. A1 for both maths, A2 for english and humans, and B3 for chem and physics if i do well for my paper 1 next week. that's a good 12 points i guess. but this is being optimistic lah. so actually it might be lower o.O hope not. if i think the worse will come out.. then B3 for both maths and english, B4 for chem and humans, and C5 for physics. thats 22 points. haha. but unlikely lah.. i hope!o.O
anws.. i dun think there's much else to write abt now..
whew.. feeling quite happy with myself lol..
thank God for sustaining me thru this period. especially since i had to bear with uncomfortable studying conditions and lack of destressing techniques (namely football and the guitar) seriously after not hearing my electric guitar sound coming out of the amplifier for so long i feel like trashing something!!! pent up frustration unable to be let out.. but its better now lah. haha. whew.. finally can go out and stuff after so long.. altho still gotta maintain focus on the paper 1 next week. but hey.. i'll get to that when it comes.. hahaa

The Day After Tomorrow (part 2)
whew.. lunch was good.. so now gonna take a little break before i get to work again..
well i'd like to take this opportunity to thank some people once again..
first of all me best mate joe for the past years of frenship and support. without him i'd definitely be a wreck.. there'd be too many things in me that i wouldnt be able to tell anyone and then i'd keep em all in me and suffer from severe depression. haha.. so thx again man.. nobody on this earth can take ur place. well.. partly bcos we've been best buds ever since dunno when so even if i had a fren in pri sch or sec sch that was as close to me as we are now it still wouldnt be as good. but that's not really the case i guess.. er.. what i'm trying to say is.. thx bro.
next of all.. CRYSIz!!!! my partners in crime!!! wahaha.. are u ready to take over the school??? are u ready to give this o-levels some CRYSIz-fication??? are u ready??? i said... ARE YOU READY???!!!!! hahaha.. okok.. going nuts with my DX quotes again lol.. thx turtles.. (and master splinter) for the best two years of sec sch that a marist could ever have LOL.. i thought my sec2 yr was good.. but hey, the next two were great! even though there was alot of stuff going on in 2006 and 2007 for us, personally and collectively, i think we came thru it tgt (not yet! o-levels aren't over!) haha.. but u know what i mean.. i think u guys have already seen my post on the CRYSIz blog.. and lemme tell ya.. that wasn't even close to how i feel.. cos of limited time i couldnt write as much as i wanted to say.. esp to ryan (who had only a really short paragraph).. but dudes.. just know i appreciate u guys for sticking with me thru good and bad.. i'm a guy who has multiple affairs with trouble, calamities, mischief, and the lot of them bad stuff.. teachers coming after me, dudes in a gang who wanna whack up my.. butt.. and yet u guys still bear with it haha.. thx mates. as long as live, when i look back on my o-level year, besides remembering my NCC days, i'll remember these 4 nutters who er.. flanked me along the corridors and stuff.. CRYSIz... haha..
next to my family who have always been there for me as well.. they know how much i love them lah.. so dont need to put up here.. haha.. thx to e-sean for a touching post on her blog.. lol.. yup i know i rock.. HAHA..
oh yes small thx to germaine for wishing me an hour after my bday passed. though i doubt she reads this blog so dun really need to say much lol..
to my maid too.. she gave me chocolates:) HAHA.. she rocks man:)
last, but most definitely not least, to GOD my good Lord and Saviour. for giving me life and everday that i live. for my frens and family who i've already mentioned.. for his salvation on the cross to spare my butt roasting in someplace hotter than the sahara desert, and everything else cos there's nothing that we have that doesnt come from Him.
this bday has been kinda more special for me.. in the sense that i'm starting to realise what's important and stuff maybe? i realised that from receiving those smses and stuff which brightened up my day that Number 1: i am so blessed by all these ppl i have around me. and Number 2: that i needed to give them back this appreciation to brighten up THEIR day too. be it whether i could only go so far as to mention their names on my blog at least once. cos that would help abit at least. or to write long paragraphs on some of them (like joe). but i think the better way would be to do it thru everyday life and stuff like that.. ok i dunno what i'm talking about here i'm just trying to do this real quick so i can get back to me work! (hmm.. i think i watch too many EPL interviews liao that i also say "me" instead of "my" haha) well.. i guess there IS more to life than just football. HAHA
yeah well.. i hope this doesn't look too emo.. lol.. its so sentimental!!! but ah whatever.. its called appreciation!! with feelings put into it! so i guess thats called.. er.. apprecia-lings!! wait.. appreciation has feelings inside already right? haha.. whatever..
oh yes, i almost forgot! u didnt think i'd leave u out, did u? ek ping! haha.. yep, no matter how many times we get praised, it still feels good to be appreciated, right??;) haha.. (i'm getting used to it!! LOL) anws.. thx for the help with amaths first and foremost.. the amaths thing gave me lots of momentum. firstly cos it gave me confidence for the other subjects. secondly cos it was my first paper and so gave me a platform for the rest of the papers to build on. also for the encouragements and stuff. (hey! i'd do the same for u right?) haha.. yep.. u've been a great help and a great friend:) and dun take what i say to heart sometimes. haha. like the guitar thing lol. i know sometimes u feel like smacking me cos i'm a pain in the butt but thx for bearing with the nonsense lol.. trying to be better! trying to find the right balance between crap and.. er.. non-crap.. haha see what i mean? still working on it ok. lol..
well.. i think i've used up more than enough time for one day so..
it's back ter work sailors!!! argh!

The Day The World Changed
whooo!!!! no prizes for guessing what day it is today!!! it's physics o-level paper!!!! haha... was quite unprepared but somehow i have a thing for physics. usually can score reasonably higher than all my other sciences even without studying. lol. this o-level paper i think i wasnt as prepared as i could be.. but the paper was manageable lah.. hopefully can score at least a B3.. crap.. initially was aiming for an A.. but ah well..
yup.. and the other thing happening today... i gotta study for SS which is on Monday! (and Bio too) haha.. super unprepared for both. but all i need is the weekend and some determination (and God's grace and mercy) and.. pow! i'll be alright. haha.. fingers crossed..
oh the other thing that happened today... i msged my old pri sch classmate. cos she has the same bday as me. so decided to wish her too. after not seeing or talking to her for so long seems like she was a bit taken aback haha. but hey whatever..
which reminds me..
today is also MY birthday! haha.. whoo!! happy birthday to me! yeah yeah whoa.. ok time to pay tribute to some people who rmbed...
cheang: msged at 10.03pm last night and said he fast-forward to midnight. in other words he don't wanna stay up to msg me at 12 lah. so use cheat code lol.. but thx anws dude:)

thanks to all the ppl who rmbed too:) appreciate u guys for remembering..
actually this yr i've tried to downplay my bday abit cos dun wanna lose focus on the physics, ss, and bio papers. usually would have been excited abt it a few days before the actual day, but this yr i only realised it like.. 5min before 12am. haha. altho i was counting down with my personal msg on msn lah. but i wasnt really paying attention to it.
heh the actual time that i was born is 12.51pm.. so still have to wait a while more til i'm officially 16.. haha. so technically all the ppl that wished me so far not counted cos i'm still 15 at the point of writing!! lol..
hmm... maybe "the day the world changed" is abit of an egoistic tagline to give to ur bday haha.. but i've had it since quite a long time.. and technically it's also partially correct cos the world changed when i was born bcos another person was added to the world haha.. yup..
whoa the songs in the album are pretty good.. listening to them now.. "it's not over", "home" and "over you" are the nicest ones i think.. but maybe that's cos i heard them on the radio last time haha..
feels a little different being 16 (well not yet! have to wait til 12.51pm). but then again i'm still the same guy right? haha..
well.. nothing much to do now.. gotta get back to work on SS after lunch.. which should be soon.. i hope...
once again.. thx to the ppl who rmbed:) peace to the lot of ya!
yup.. and the other thing happening today... i gotta study for SS which is on Monday! (and Bio too) haha.. super unprepared for both. but all i need is the weekend and some determination (and God's grace and mercy) and.. pow! i'll be alright. haha.. fingers crossed..
oh the other thing that happened today... i msged my old pri sch classmate. cos she has the same bday as me. so decided to wish her too. after not seeing or talking to her for so long seems like she was a bit taken aback haha. but hey whatever..
which reminds me..
today is also MY birthday! haha.. whoo!! happy birthday to me! yeah yeah whoa.. ok time to pay tribute to some people who rmbed...
cheang: msged at 10.03pm last night and said he fast-forward to midnight. in other words he don't wanna stay up to msg me at 12 lah. so use cheat code lol.. but thx anws dude:)
my family: wished me when i was studying in the study room. dad played the guitar as usual haha.
huixian: thx! first official one by sms:) 12.03am
ekping: second one by sms. 12.06am. lose to huixian by abit haha. thx:):)

almost there...
haha.. i've decided to do away with the emo post. lol.. cos after today's emaths pp2 i felt much better. the paper was quite easy i think.
was initially quite down yesterday cos my emaths pp1 got one stupid question which i couldnt do but after the paper i realised how easy it was..-.- then now my full marks gone..
english was quite ok i think. should be able to get an A.. hopefully A1.
starting to feel the stress now that we're already more than a week into the O's.
i've also not been able to study properly and that really has made me very very frustrated!!!! and i've not been able to study properly cos all the air-cons in my house have broke down except for the one in the study room and now my whole family has to camp there every night. so i've got no conducive environment to study. cos i need to study in my own room with air-con to get maximum study yield. lol. altho i DO get distracted alot in my room.. and cos i do work in the study room now, my parents are there to make sure i don't slack.. but it still ticks me off real badly!!!!!!
what's worse.. my electric guitar is still spoilt and my mini-football has no more air!!!! arrrghhh!!! so i can't destress or relax properly!! cos i destress either by playing guitar or football.. why am i looking so relaxed and happy all the time? cos i've destressed by playing football and the guitar!!! and when i can't do those two things i cant destress properly!!!! so either i kick about some flat ball or go play my dad's acoustic guitar which doesnt help to destress at all cos it has no distortion and i can't play any rock music or any gut-busting guitar solos!!!!!!! rrrraaahhhh..... dang it...
then there's that thing that happened on sunday night which i dun wanna talk abt. altho i feel better now after talking to joe abt it. thx mate..
and then liverpool drew 1-1 with arsenal too.. sian lah... altho i do concede arsenal were the better team in terms of passing and movement, i felt we had more chances to win the game and defended really well. somemore we were unfairly dealt with injuries to 3 of our best players, torres, alonso & mascherano.. then arsenal got some eboue and adebayor who act real pro like they got mauled by carragher or someth. once again during a game we got to see some whiny attitude by the arsenal players. thats one of the things i dislike most abt arsenal. bunch of whiners. crowd around the ref and start crying abt some freekick or what. i apologise to all arsenal fans who read this. but hey. at least take comfort that i will always hate everton and man utd more than u guys. haha. well.. all in all i guess the draw was a fair result. altho in terms of effort i think we deserved to win more. the liverpool players were working their socks off there. and we're still 6pts behind.. but there's still a long way to go to the end of the season..
whoa actually i didnt want to do such an emo post but looks like i kinda did one in the end haha.. being emo is not good.. must always be confident and positive! haha. well.. at least i feel better now after a good rant:) ranting always helps. altho i always tend to hold everything up to a certain point before i let it all out in the form of a temper or emo-ness or a good long wordy healthy rant. or sometimes go play football and trash some ppl. then i'll feel better too haha.. sometimes writing a song helps too.
oh well whatever it is.. gotta get back to work after lunch. physics is on friday.. needa score an A for it too.. somemore on my birthday if dun do well then such a waste haha.
peace dudes.. almost there...

Saturday..
its the weekend baby! haha.. actually nothing much to post abt.. just that i'm real bored and waiting for dinner haha..
monday is gonna be hectic, but so far i guess i'm on track for my revision.. today did emaths 04 paper 1 (74/80) and emaths 05 paper 1 (73/80). i guess thats not bad.. considering i did the 2004 one in 1hr 3min and the 2005 one in 46min.. after dinner gonna do an english paper.. then 10pm watch football (man utd vs boro & chelsea vs man city).. then 12am do emaths 04 paper 2.. should be able to sleep by 2am..
yup.. so far so good for the O's.. can't wait for monday and tuesday.. wanna take on english and emaths asap. and then get on to physics..
which reminds me, i'm 6 days away from being 16yrs old, 9 days away from being free of my major papers, and 17 days away from having total freedom. yeah, that's good, yeah..
man i can't stand it.. the liverpool vs arsenal game is sunday night 12am! sian.. my parents aint gonna allow me to watch it.. but i will have to try somehow.. a match of this significance cannot be missed. we have to win. simply for the fact arsenal are one of the challengers in the title race this season and we're already 6pts behind. but i believe we can do it at Anfield.. pray my parents will reconsider. i mean, even if i don't watch it at the tv, i'll be waiting til the final score anws just to see if we won. so there's no difference with the time i will sleep. and i won't be studying even if i don't watch. i'll just be too nervous waiting for some sms update from joe or whatever.. haha..
well.. gotta have dinner.. revision continues tonight! whoo!!!:)

Day.... er...
ahoy, maties!
argh! there'd be no paper today! so i'll be taking a little break til monday... and yer can bet yer baby's bottom i'll be much obliged to take any break given me! argh! so there!
ok.. yesterday's geog paper was pretty ok for me. especially cos i studied agriculture and tourism (qns 2 & 4) so those were quite ok. textbook stuff. haha. not sure for those who did industry and development. heard those qns were tough. sometimes, risks and choices have to be made, and its either make or break, so i guess i got lucky haha.. anws.. its a big relief and morale booster for me. cos i was most afraid for geog.. but still have a SS paper coming up. so have to do well for that too.. well.. that's the politically correct thing to say anws:D actually almost everything i put up on this blog is politically correct haha.. must be like rafa benitez!! lol..
well, gotta prepare well for emaths and english on monday. its gonna be 3 papers at a go.. so must be mentally prepared. not to mention, physically prepared as well! (ur writing hand) (gotta go do some weights! HAHA xD) somemore i'm banking on these two subjects to get A1s too.. so gotta be really prepared..
so i did two emaths papers today. 02 paper 1 not very good.. 64% o.O but that one alot of careless mistakes. cos i did the paper in less than an hour (allotted time for the actual exam is 2hrs) haha.. so the 1hour that i had to check i'm pretty sure i would have spotted them.. 03 paper 1 got 85%. thats still not good enough for an A1... but well.. i'm on the right track for my paper 1 i guess.. later today will do the paper2s for 02 and 03.
have to prepare for english somehow too.. guess i'll just practice a bit of compre and summary, read thru my past essays, and memorize the formats for whatever letter-writing questions may come out. yeah, that's good, yeah..
actually o-levels has been a good learning process for me. in more ways than one.. maybe its taught me how to strategize. also to be more aware of whats required of me, trusting in God too, etc etc.. hard to explain but, u know what i mean.. it's been good.. but can't really say too much.. it's not over yet, by any means..
whoa yesterday also e-rae's bday party. so mum and dad's BS group came. i would have liked to use that time to study. thats why i have to do more today. but its ok i guess. also let christopher and daniel play with my electric guitar o.O lol.. (christopher is like 5yrs old and daniel is like.. 2?)but it wasnt plugged in lah.. but it can't be plugged in anyways cos its spoilt :(:(:( so gotta bring for repair after o-level. my bonnie lies over the ocean.. my bonnie lies over the sea.. yeah that's christopher's favourite song. he kept singing it while strumming the guitar xD. my bonnie lies over the ocean.. oh, bring back my bonnie to me.. bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my bonnie to me, to me! bring back, oh, bring back, oh, bring back my bonnie to me! hahaha. i imagine it will sound quite cool to play it in a rock version :D a solo would be real cool too :D
yep.. gotta keep pressing on baby!! haha. o-levels is actually kinda fun! just as long as u dun stress urself too much. which i dun really do lol..
alright, what are yer lookin at?? back ter work yer mangy mongrels! or i'll be having the lot of yer walk the plank! all hands on deck!
and now, bring me that horizon...
we're devils and black sheep.. and really bad eggs..
drink up, me hearties, yoho!

Day THREE...
haha.. i dont really think i can do day-to-day posts on the o-levels. but whenever i've got a bit of free time i'll try to use the comp to post abt it.
today's chem paper was pretty tough i think. not tough as in tough tough. but tough as in easy tough. ask stupid questions which rack ur brain and ur thinking "am i answering it the way i'm supposed to be answering it?" altho it was probably harder than those given for the past few years. well.. can't do anything abt it now except trust in God and focus on geog.. which is tmr.
crap, the subject i'm most worried for is comb. humans and half of that will have to be dealt with tmr in the form of a 1.5hr geog paper which consists of 3 questions and a 50-mark weightage. haha. i say.. bring it on!!!
also.. i've just realised that after 4months this blog still does not have any links or a change of skin. well.. the skin stays, cos i like it.. unless i find a really good liverpool one haha.. and i'll try to put links up asap..
well.. there's nothing else to post abt..
all the best to those ppl taking O-levels and A-levels!!!
peace! to all those who are red at heart.. not ur blood.
i meant ur allegiance to the pride of merseyside...

amaths is done and done! haha.. whew.. today's paper 2 was harder than yesterday's paper 1. but still managed to do it, albeit with a bit of uncertainty. but an A1 is quite possible. depending on how the other ppl taking it fare haha. well.. so now just gotta focus on tmr's chem paper..
and now THIS is the shortest post ever on this blog. haha. i've made history baby! lol..
and rmb... WE WON THE MERSEYSIDE DERBY!!! WAHAHAAHAHA!!!:):):)

Day ONE...
whoo!!! the o-levels have arrived! hahaha!
whew.. amaths paper 1 today. quite do-able i think. not sure if tmr's paper 2 will be harder. from today's questions i roughly know what's coming out in tmr's paper. yup.. hopefully if all goes well tmr (AND NO CARELESS MISTAKES ARE MADE!!!) then an A1 could be in the bag. so tonight gotta mug and revise!!! haha.. but i'm taking a break now before dinner.
wow.. i'm still suffering from the aftermath of saturday's merseyside derby. joe put it really well.. it was a NO-MERCY-SIDE derby. haha. for everton that is. lol.. today real funny.. when we were all in the canteen like a few min before the paper and everybody was revising amaths stuff, i suddenly started thinking abt the game again. LOL. can ask ryan. my arm was on his shoulder. haha. and i had to wake up and think "no football! just amaths!!" HAHA. i still get shivers when i think of dirk kuyt's second penalty and the liverpool players going to the fans to celebrate haha. heh until now i still always get shivers when i think back to the 2005 champions league final. and i always get shivers when i hear the liverpool fans singing "you'll never walk alone". haha.
okok!! no more football!! just amaths!! lol.. yup.. so after tmr, amaths will be over and i'll have to throw it outta my mind and focus on the other papers. but lets not go there now. still got amaths paper 2 tmr.
cowabunga!!!!!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOO HOOO!!!!!!
WE WON THE MERSEYSIDE DERBY!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!!!
EVERTON 1 LIVERPOOL 2!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
okok.. gotta calm down... haha.. whew...
dun be surprised.. i'm always like this when it comes to everton games. seriously, i'm not even as hyper for man utd games. i can tell u as well, i'll probly be happy for this next week. until the arsenal game next sunday. hopefully i'll still be happy even after that;)
yup.. whew.. ok see cos my dad had some BB thing alright, so i would have been stuck at home for the game. but then he allowed me to go to joseph's house to watch it. provided i studied the whole day. which i did. haha. so went to stay over at joe's.
i was pretty loud i think. lol.. ok.. everton took a lucky lead in the first half but in the second half tony hibbert pulled gerrard down in the penalty box. that meant a red card for him and a penalty for us. which dirk kuyt dispatched pretty well:) 1-1!
then benitez took gerrard off and put on lucas leiva (an untested brazilian youngster). that was like.. what?? i dun even know how to explain it. but i think he might have made the right change.. u see.. in truth liverpool were looking a bit uncomfortable with the formation they were playing cos i'm not sure if gerrard was supposed to be playing right midfield or centre.. so the team looked uncomfortable with that formation. but usually u don't take off your scouser captain (esp if he's steven gerrard) in a merseyside derby. it's just not done that way. but i can't have much complaints.
lucas leiva came on and hit the stoppage time shot which was brilliantly saved by phil neville (an ex-man u player). ok see here.. phil neville is NOT a goalkeeper. lol.. but i wouldnt mind replacing paul robinson with him in the england team. HAHA.. so poor phil neville(who probly wanted a first team place in the england squad so much) got sent off. (that's everton down to 9 men) and dirk kuyt took a second penalty.
lemme tell u, to take a penalty in the 91st min in a merseyside derby is probly one of the scariest things on earth. but kuyt showed some composure to score with his second penalty. seriously man, that guy's got some strong nerves. if it was me i'd be shaking in my knees. and he dared to put it in the same place again.
well.. long story short.. the red half of merseyside went home happy:)
i'm keeping this short cos i gotta go do revision for amaths soon.
i'm pretty confident for it. somehow. haha. we'll see how tmr.
my finger looks better. hope it doesnt affect my writing too much tmr.
o-levels starts tmr!:) 23 days to FREEDOM!!!:)
man i'm super happy man haha.. can't believe it.. to win a merseyside derby against everton is somewhat bigger than a win against man utd. but ah well.. u have to understand football to understand this. at times u even have to understand liverpool to understand this. just know that a win against everton makes u do crazy stuff. like scolding the tv at ur best bud's house. heh. what i heard from my mum was my dad was as passionate at home as i was at joe's place (when he came back from his BB thing to watch the 2nd half). lol. but we're like that. and hugging joe when kuyt scored the second penalty and at full-time too. lol. that's kinda funny. but its normal i guess. when ur allegiance lies with the red half of merseyside..
WE WON THE MERSEYSIDE DERBY!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!!!
EVERTON 1 LIVERPOOL 2!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
okok.. gotta calm down... haha.. whew...
dun be surprised.. i'm always like this when it comes to everton games. seriously, i'm not even as hyper for man utd games. i can tell u as well, i'll probly be happy for this next week. until the arsenal game next sunday. hopefully i'll still be happy even after that;)
yup.. whew.. ok see cos my dad had some BB thing alright, so i would have been stuck at home for the game. but then he allowed me to go to joseph's house to watch it. provided i studied the whole day. which i did. haha. so went to stay over at joe's.
i was pretty loud i think. lol.. ok.. everton took a lucky lead in the first half but in the second half tony hibbert pulled gerrard down in the penalty box. that meant a red card for him and a penalty for us. which dirk kuyt dispatched pretty well:) 1-1!
then benitez took gerrard off and put on lucas leiva (an untested brazilian youngster). that was like.. what?? i dun even know how to explain it. but i think he might have made the right change.. u see.. in truth liverpool were looking a bit uncomfortable with the formation they were playing cos i'm not sure if gerrard was supposed to be playing right midfield or centre.. so the team looked uncomfortable with that formation. but usually u don't take off your scouser captain (esp if he's steven gerrard) in a merseyside derby. it's just not done that way. but i can't have much complaints.

BOO!
dang!! i got stung by a wasp!!!! seriously. cos it was in e-sean's room.. and the stupid daredevil that i am... i tried to catch it. lol! i took a plastic bag and wrapped it around my hand. then tried to get hold of it. then i caught it. and it was squirming in my hand.. then suddenly... YYYOOOOUUUCCCCHHHH!!! THE STUPID THING STUNG ME!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

long story short, i can't write properly now. the finger is swollen and red too haha.. its not as pain now but its super itchy. crap... what a time to get stung on ur finger.. 3 days away from o-levels.. then can't do my practice papers properly.. dang..... sigh.. now when i start to study liao then can't haha.. ok maybe i can still do revision without writing. but i rather be writing and learning at the same time. not as boring and more effective haha.
and i'm typing now with my left hand and two fingers haha.
yup.. and the album "modern minds and pastimes" by the click five is super nice. almost all the songs are real nice. but my favourite is "mary jane". super nice song:) [note to cheang, renyi, YC, etc.. go listen to it. then we can jam it after o-levels or something haha.]
i'm pretty confident for most of my subjects now except combined humans. and vectors for amaths. and ek ping can't tutor me!! ahh!!! k nvm.. gotta find someone else whose maths very zai haha. as for combined humans, i'll figure it out.
well... gotta buck up for the o's i guess.. only 3 days away!!! whooo!!!!! er.. i mean... oh no!! but its only 25 days to FREEDOM!!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!!!! wahahaha!
and.. we are, only, ONE day away from the biggest game (besides man utd) for liverpool fans.. THE MERSEYSIDE DERBY!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! LIVERPOOL VS EVERTON!!!! WHOOO HOOOO!!!! ok its at goodison park tmr but i don't really care.. the liverpool fans will be loud anywhere haha. can't wait for it man.. whoohoo! haha.. okok.. gotta calm down... still gotta mug.. haha..

tadaa...
well.. i've been pretty slack the last 3 days..
did the amaths 2004 paper. got 78%.. but i think still not very good.. i'm aiming 85% and above for all the amaths papers i do now.
other than that i haven't done much.. will do more later.. today aim to finish 4 papers.. 2 in the afternoon, 2 at night.
also, i've decided to focus on just 6 subjects. leaving bio out. cos it's a study subject. lol. and i don't do studying. so aiming for As in english, both maths, and physics. then B3 for chem and humans. so once again its a 10-12 point score. provided both my maths get A1s. yup... that's a good goal i think.
hmm... nothing much to post abt now besides the stuff there is to post abt which shouldnt be posted abt. haha.
and i think this is like either the shortest or second shortest post in the history of this blog. lol.. wow..
anws, keep going dudes!! we're 26 days away from freedom!!! the countdown has begun! go to ryan's blog for details.. batteries sold seperately...

the update
think i needa update again. to keep the blog alive. lol..
well.. i've just been doing tys papers thats all.. dunno if they'll be enough though.. so far been scoring 70% and above for the papers. although there are some below 70% but thats only a few papers and no lower than 64%. still not good enough to guarantee me As during the o's, cos i'm competing with all the other school people.. gd thing schools like R.I. are out of the equation lah haha. IP rocks! LOL.
think my english and physics can get As.. my two maths if i don't make any careless mistakes then should be able to get A1s.. but MUST NOT make careless mistakes!! means must check the paper many times after i finish. haha.. then my CHEM and combined humanities (geog & ss) think should be able to get B3s.. that would mean 10-12 for o's. minus 2 pts for NCC.. means nanyang should be able to get in.. but must mug alot these last few weeks!!!
and i think ek ping is really the one who save my amaths. haha!! THANK YOU!!!!! heck, she could be the one who just saved my entire o-levels. cos got one night we were msging and she made alot of sense with FOOTBALL. something abt setting goals and even if u dont reach ur goals u won't fall too far behind them. seriously thats the phrase thats been stuck in my head for two weeks lol.. here's the actual msg "bla.. bla.. bla.. ... set a target for yourself. no goal no results. you play soccer. you shld noe this well. set a higher goal, tell yourself you're working towards it and work hard to achieve it. even if at the end of the day, u dun get it, u wun fall too far behind your goal." (she didnt say "bla.. bla..bla.." i'm just typing the impt things down) haha.. wow.. imspired me like crap man! i mean, ek ping talking abt football is like.. wow! haha.. the only thing i remember her saying abt football is that the man utd players all look like prison break-outs. which i TOTALLY agree! haha.. i mean, players like rooney, ferdinand, vidic, evra, scholes, giggs, tevez, van der sar, etc.. LOL.. okok.. anws.. ya.. two weeks before o's is probly a good time to start working. so that i don't like.. lose momentum or anything. cos the maximum time i can study is two weeks. then i'll start to get sian and stop studying. haha.. thank you miss siau!! wahaha! i've actually been very careful not to talk abt football with her. cos she doesnt like it LOL.. and everytime i talk abt football with her i have to remind myself and stop. haha.. thats good i guess..
okok.. then yesterday we went to play badminton too. lol.. man, got trashed by david, jon and shaun. haha. badminton's not the game for me! let's talk football! haha. and i kinda trashed ek ping. haha.. the margin was not alot but i was giving her chance. haha! and we actually playing to 15. then become 20. then 25. then 30. but when i got 28 she dun want play liao.. cos she was tired.. lol.. and i trashed marie too. that one cannot give chance! cos we were betting on lollipops for her and a drink for me. so i won a drink!:) but marie is such a sore loser that she kept swinging her badminton racket at me while i was drinking so i couldnt drink it properly. whats up with that??
anws.. then we went to plaza sing for lunch. then walked to church to meet with the other sec4s to study... not sure if it was very productive.. haha....
then went to bugis food junction for dinner. joe met us there after his bball training. its pretty expensive there... yup, well, i reached home with some muscle aches. but thats expected since i havent done any exercise for dunno how long (bcos of the o's)
anws.. think i'll go have lunch now.. then afternoon must study liao!! haha.. JIA YOU!
wow. actually i have never said jia you in my life before until this o-level period lol.. i'm more used to saying COME ON!!!! (it's a football thing...)
oh and this saturday is the MERSEYSIDE DERBY!!! LIVERPOOL VS EVERTON!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!!!! WAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

We Believe (in JC)
wow i'm on the comp again. this means good time management! lol.. finished a chem TYS paper this morning. found that its quite easy compared to the papers that we do in school and for prelims. so i did quite well for it. man, i'm determined to do well for chem. haha.. i'm taking it as me vs miss jazilla. lol. muz prove her wrong haha. waiting for lunch now too.. why is it taking so long??
anws.. that day before leavers' ceremony, YC, Renyi and I were trying to change the lyrics of "We Believe" by Good Charlotte. lol. erm... we got quite a bit of it, but i can't really remember all of it. so i changed a few of it myself. haha. hope u guys like it..
"We Believe (in JC)"
There's a Marist crying out tonight
His world has changed
He asks God why
Prelim L-one-R-five
Got forty-five
He can't sleep at night
In school
Another day for uniforms and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they mug so late?
How can we graduate?
Just wanna graduate...
We Believe... (x6)
In JC...
We are all insane
Humanities and Physics give us pain
(So go JC)
Our A Maths marks could fall down like rain
(Can't PAE)
Let Chem and Bio add to the pain
(Then JAE)
And no one really knows what they are studying for
(We believe)
This school is crying for so much more
We believe... (x6)
In JC...
(x2)
For this 'O's
Do TYS
Mug overnight
To get a low L1R5
It'll be everything you need
In every way
We believe... (x6)
In JC...

recap..
whew.. so many things to say, and so little time..
first of all.. i am OUT if maris stella!! hahaha! whoo!!!!!! no ppl, i am not expelled... like some of u may think.. i just graduated thats all.. haha!:) leavers' ceremony (the sad thing my school has to come up with cos we cant have a prom night due to lack of girls..) was on friday. had to go up and receive that graduation cylindrical baton thing (it was empty) and i think i might have forgotten to bow to mrs tey.. haha.. then class chairman had to give flowers to our form teacher. so had to give mrs tey some fake sunflower bouquet.. then i just passed it to her and walked off the stage. lol.. think i was sposed to wait for her to walk off first. haha.. nvm.. then had some performances.. mrs loh sang while mr kwok played the guitar. and mr (handsome) chew sang too o.O haha.... it was really hot and stuffy in the hall.. somemore had to wear tie! sweat like a pig man! haha. thats what uncle alvin used to say. besides u stink (sting) like a bee! lol.. but the dinner was pretty good. i put food on my plate til it looked like bukit timah hill, and finished it up. i was real hungry anws. and a quote from terence as "wow, i-zack, u really know how to fill a plate!" haha.
last days with CRYSIz were fun too. we also took photos with the fire extinguisher outside of class. naturally i perceived it to be some football championship trophy and if u go to the CRYSIz blog or ryan's blog, u'd see me beaming like i'd just won the champions league with liverpool. lol. we also had oreo cheesecake (made by sze jet) super solid!!!! seriously it was fantastic man.. and got autographs of everyone in class.
well.. i'm starting to do more work too. which can only bode well.. gotta pia this last 2 weeks. do tys and the lot. ek ping also tutored me after church yesterday. made ALOT of progress with Amaths. (trigo, differentiation, etc..) then just now did the TYS paper could do like all those questions from the topics she taught me yesterday:) we actually stayed back until 7pm! cos she just teaching me until we forgot the time. then suddenly see it was 6.40pm! haha.. thanks miss siau! LOL. oh ya... thank you to marie toh for coming and breaking my concentration with her wu liao stuff..-.- seriously.. not i want to say u or what.. but i think i could have learnt somemore if u had just shut up! HAHA. no offence, LOL. nvm... at least made a good lot of progress!:)
well.. the bad news among all these good ones is that liverpool are still in a bad slump of form. while man utd and arsenal are getting away with it.. i dont even want to talk abt chelsea cos i dont see them as a threat to our title challenge for the season. dang.. ok, at least last week got a good 1-0 away win at wigan. but lost to marseille 1-0 in midweek in the champions league. and it was supposedly one of the worst displays at anfield in benitez's time here. that one i not really so anxious abt lah.. but yesterday drew 2-2 with tottenham... at anfield again.. sigh.. somemore needed a last min header from torres to equalize.. ok at least got some good points lah- we were playing better. though could have done much more upfront.. torres is proving to be a very good signing and he's turning out to be a big-game player for us. but the defence was at fault for the 2 goals lah.. somemore its tottenham leh!! muz trash this kinda noob teams one. wa lao.. lol.. but seriously, with the form spurs are in we should be whacking them upside-down.. somemore got one paul robinson in goal.. we should just whack long shots at him and put in some crosses for him to drop.. lol.. nvm lah.. have to get our act together soon.
and i gotta study now!!! whoo!! gogogo!!!
