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..

The Day Freedom Came...
TUESDAY 13 NOVEMBER: The Day Freedom Came..
9.30am-10.30am: YES!!! the O's are FINALLY OVER!!!! WHOOHOOO!!!! bio mcq paper was pretty ok. did it in 30min and then slacked for the next 30min.
11.45am-2pm: then CRYSIz went to watch "The Game Plan" at J8!!:) really cool show. AND the main actor is.. dwayne "THE ROCK" johnson!!! whoo!! haha.. 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..
yeah baby.. the o's are over... feels good.

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.
YNWA

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..

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

(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
Game O-ver!!!!

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:)
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:):)
jon chien: early this morning by sms
cheang: when i saw him in sch this morn
YC: slammed his waterbottle in front of my face and said happy bday lol
ryan: "master lum! happy birthday!"
renyi: came from behind and wished me haha
daryl: by sms in the morning
gen: by sms just before i went into the exam hall
sean tan: on the way home from sch
joanna goh: after i msged her. didnt know she rmbed too haha
well that's abt it for now.. but..
a BIG THANK YOU to CRYSIz (well actually it's only YC, renyi and ryan lah..) for arguably the best birthday present i've got this yr!!! (well technically i've only got three presents this yr so far haha) (one being the liverpool jersey from my parents as well as dad paying off my phone bill for me this mth lol:) (and daryl's chocolates which i've finished already:) thx dude)
the album Daughtry which i've wanted for so long!!!!!!!! hahaha!!!!!!!! whooo!!!!!!!!! thx dudes!!! turtle bros for life!! seriously when i saw the wrapping i tot maybe some book or what.. then open and i see the album, like.. WOWW!!!!! haha.. thx guys. super really dee duper appreciate it:)
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!
