we are just ONE HOUR away from the MERSEYSIDE DERBY!!!
EVERTON VS LIVERPOOL!!!
til today, i still struggle to decide which game is bigger and more important- the games against man utd, or the ones against everton.
i guess those against man utd, the scum, are more important cos it will affect the title race, and there are lotsa man utd fans in singapore.
btw there was this joke on football crazy that made me and dad laugh like nuts haha!!
Qns: why do astronauts go to train at old trafford (man utd's homeground)?
Ans: bcos it is the only place on earth with NO ATMOSPHERE!
LOL! omg that really cracked the both of us up hahahaha!!!XD
the games against everton are about city pride, and personally, i feel everton are inferior to us, so losing to them really just makes me sick. no offence to the manchester derby or some london derbies, but the merseyside derby is really of a different level. the challenges fly in like nobody's business and the cards come out like daisies in spring time!!! losing to our neighbouring rivals is really something i can't stand.
even though we've won 6 out of the 8 derbies since rafa took over, nothing is for certain in a derby. and that's the scariest part.
well, torres will be looking to regain his scoring form, keane will be desperate to get his first goal for the club, and gerrard is just one away from 100 goals for liverpool. so everton had better watch out. i don't care who scores as long as we win, but there'll be a soft spot for me towards gerrard and keane today. cos if either scores it's gonna be something special.
here's something from the liverpool website:
Steven Gerrard will skipper the side at Goodison still waiting for his 100th goal for Liverpool. After having a strike controversially ruled out against Stoke last weekend, Benitez is hoping it's a sign that his magical moment will arrive on derby day.
"Maybe his goal against Stoke City was disallowed because destiny has reserved him to score his 100th goal against Everton. Steven can score in any game, he's always a threat. But maybe it will be better for him if he scores on Saturday. Clearly, he is a player with quality and not too many midfielders can score 99 goals in their career. Steven is maybe the best attacking midfielder around."
yup, that's Stevie G, our captain! local boy turned hero.
okie dokie, now away from football:p
yesterday was CJC J1 study day. so there was no school. met yiying at PS mac's at 10am for breakfast first. then we studied econs from 11am to 2pm. after a while it got too noisy so we decided to walk to church and study there. then later athelia and sam came with the same idea of studying too haha. then later mark also. walao now all steal my idea of studying in church haha! it's really good man. (if you study alone) cos it's super quiet. and maybe God's presence helps a bit haha.
well i did econs the whole time again. finished the chapter on market structure. seriously, i can't stand it man. i still don't really get it. yiying was doing market failure, which to me is super easy but to her is super hard haha! and mkt structure is easier to her. o.O
then david came and we went for dinner.
then later we went for dbs!! contrary to what is on david's blog, i don't think uncle alex was really angry with us haha. cos everyone else also talking alot. just so happened we're directly infront of him so he look straight sure see us haha. cos everytime a point was raised david and i will be like "wow that applies to this part of our lives!" then we will say something like "okay, we have to uncheck our 'auto-judge' button" or "wow quite hard to get rid of this kinda thinking leh." cos last night was about judging people. so me and david will have to try harder to stop judging people! sometimes it's quite hard cos very hard to change impressions of people, but yes we must pray!
ok today i just stayed at home and i did the chapter on market failure for econs. so that's completed my revision for the H2 subjects!!
i've got a plan for the next 10 days of exams and hopefully it'll be enough.
here are some verses i've took comfort in:
nahum 1:7 - "The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him."
phil 4:13 - "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."
romans 8:28 - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
hope this is encouraging to all those taking exams!:) o-level, n-level, a-level, promos, or whatever EoYs.
alrighto, almost time for the big game!!
and almost time for my exams as well! haha. they start on monday and last to next tuesday 7 oct.
it's...... GO TIME!!!
do or die. now or never. make or break.

Happy Birthday YC!!
today is YC's bday. so, Happy Birthday dude!!!
i'd like to thank him for being a great friend for the past 2 yrs. being part of CRYSIz is always super fun with him around. haha. no matter how cool i am, he's still the real cool one lol. rock on dude!!
anws last sat night was nonsense man. liverpool drew 0-0 with stoke at anfield. even though we had like 80% possession, 20+ corners, and played the whole game in their half, it's not an excuse anymore this season. last season i would have took comfort from the fact that we dominated the whole game (like we usually do). but this season it's not about the performances anymore. i rather play badly every game of the season but still be champions in may. to win the title you have to score more goals than the opposition, and that's what we failed to do. with a team like stoke (no offence), who cares about defending?? just go and whack them upside down! if they score, what they gonna do about it? just score more lah. with players like torres, gerrard, keane, babel, kuyt, etc, even if u concede let's say 2 goals, u can't win 4-2 or 5-2? time to start playing fearlessly. i definitely trust in rafa, but sometimes in games like this, u just gotta think and play like champions. come on lads, we're liverpool. so let's play like we are. and we have the perfect opportunity to show that this sat in the merseyside derby against everton:)
last sunday was also the PSPC 165th anniversary. gotta thank God for our church and how much He has blessed it.
the family day fear factor games were also real fun:) my group was Barney & Friends!! lol. trust me to come up with this kinda stupid name. my group had me, lucas, weile, tim leong, adriel, audrey, hannah, liesl, michelle goh, and andrea. yeah they're quite a fun bunch haha.
monday to today has just been about going to school and sitting in lectures, trying to get some hints for the promos, and of course, sleeping during geog and chinese. haha!!
i've completed my revision for maths and physics and half of econs but i still feel quite unprepared. like i almost don't know anything haha. nvm, after i complete econs revision tmr then it'll be back to good old last night studying. i find it really works to a large extent for me.
okay please pray for me ppl!!:)

youch
yohoho! my parents are out so i took a bottle of beer from the fridge to drink! haha bluff you! actually it's just ginger beer.
just had pizza for dinner. but crap man i found out it's just a cheese pizza! no meat or vegetables, just cheese. o.O??? like that where got balanced meal? no protein or what. just carbo and some cheese fats..
anws the last few days have been quite good in terms of studying. i've finished revising all maths chapters and physics only left superposition and electric fields. yesterday after school went to church to study. i reached at 3pm and studied til 6pm. i did 3 chapters of physics (gravitation, forces, and circular motion). then went for dinner then dbs at 7.30pm.
david came for dbs too! haha. i think i shall continue to psycho him so he will come next week! haha. hey people you should come for dbs! you learn alot about the bible and somemore it's real fun!! it's on fridays at 7.30pm in church!:) and it's not like your normal DG actually.
today woke up late for my sat morn runs.. so i ran before dinner instead. 15km. it's the longest distance i have ever run. and crap!! i think i stretched my right hamstring! maybe didn't warm up that part enough:( so i took super long. i won't say the timing here cos it's embarrassing. lol. then now i feel a bit sick.. don't know why. this year has actually been my best physical condition ever. whole year not even been sick once. contrary to what my teachers think:p and i've also got some personal records in running and NAPFA and whatever physical tests i've taken this year. but i want to keep improving! i have some aims in stuff like 2.4km and 100m so i need to keep improving. hope i don't fall sick... but maybe my body is tired from all the training this year.. last time in sec sch never even train before haha.
well i had maths tuition in the morning and i asked raymond chan to help me with AP and GP. those two topics super hard man. actually the formulas and everything are quite easy when you just study it, but when you do the questions it's craazyy!!!o.O all the questions super hard like dunno what like that.
then i took a short 1hr nap and mum made waffles for brunch:) then i did 3 more chapters of physics from 12-3pm. (oscillations, waves, current of electricity)
after that i played my electric guitar. now i'm better at playing "famous last words" by MCR, "addicted" by simple plan, and "holiday" by greenday:)
oh ya and that day i was listening to "no love" by simple plan and i finally realised what the lyrics mean!!! after so long i always thought it was about something else but now i realise it actually means this thing. haha.
anws the liverpool vs stoke city game is at 10pm! well it's been a good start to the season. we've managed to get points even though we haven't hit top gear. and i think that's actually a good sign. should not peak too early in the season. then later part of the season when hit top form then whoohooo!
just visited the liverpool website just now and benitez said he and sammy lee and some reds players decided they will switch around "you'll never walk alone" with the EPL song! hahah!! yeah man what a great tactic! no wonder the man utd game i was thinking why when the players in the tunnel haven't sing YNWA yet and only sang when the players were on the pitch. now they play the EPL stupid song first when the players in the tunnel and YNWA when the players are on the field to psycho the other team and to pump up the liverpool players:) solid!!
rafa also said gerrard is now the best midfielder in the world and top 3 players in the world. i think the other two is probably torres and mascherano haha. nah i think rafa was thinking about cristiano ronaldo and kaka.
oh man stoke city has this guy called rory delap and his long throw is nuts!! goes right into the penalty spot area. liverpool have to watch out for it later.
well. after the liverpool game i think i'll do my GP essay (which is a whole month due) at midnight. so should finish by 2am. then can see the last part of arsenal and bolton.
man my GP essay was actually due on 25 august. haha. yesterday mr holden came to me and said "i-zack, -" then before he said another word i said "yeah i know, the essay. monday." then he smiled at me and said with his funny caucasian accent "you're walking off the edge i-zack. walking off the edge and just about to fall off." o.O?!! what?? is my GP that bad? haha. then i got 23/50 for my previous essay and he said "not as bad as i expected actually." o.O!!?? man i think he's got a very low impression of me. partly cos i always sleep in his class i guess. haha. hope i'm not too over-confident for GP. i'm having the same attitude for it as the one i had for english.
tmr is PSPC 165th anniversary!:) service is later than usual haha. that's why tonight i can afford to sleep later. 10am at pres. high. after that will be the family day games. it's called fear factor lol. ooooo scary.
yeah and next week monday i shall complete my physics revision. mr rajoo says on monday he can give me a consultation period on superposition and electric field. then tue to fri i will study all the econs chapters!! after which i SHOULD be ready for the promos...
super scared man.. if i fail just one topic this time then will either get retained or kicked out of school!o.O heard that most likely they will just kick us out cos from next year onwards our school doesnt want any retainees. if retain actually not so bad cos can improve your foundation and i get to be in the soccer team for 3yrs haha. if kick out it's like o.O??? have to go poly or work or smth..
no way man i'm gonna study this last stretch and pass my promos and go to J2 next year!!
that is, if they set the papers at a standard that i can do the questions...
but i think last night's DBS was good cos it was about God providing for us and not worrying. so it's all in His hands.
whoa crap but still scared to the MAXimum!
ok it's almost time for the liverpool match. hey and i don't feel really sick anymore!:)
oww babeah!
just had pizza for dinner. but crap man i found out it's just a cheese pizza! no meat or vegetables, just cheese. o.O??? like that where got balanced meal? no protein or what. just carbo and some cheese fats..

wahahahahahaha...
hoho it's been a week since i last updated.
things that have happened: for one, i cut my hair cos got caught that day during the surprise hair check. -.- i wanted to keep the length but make it thinner, so i guess it's turned out ok.
i've also been appointed in charge of the games for our class local CIP to an orphanage. so i came up with a proposal. the kids should be below 10, so i put in stuff like simon says haha!
on friday i also went church early after school to study before dbs. dbs is good! i think cos the questions we ask are quite relevant to our everyday lives. uncle nick and uncle alex can explain the answers well too.
on sat went for band prac and then later we invited aunty uli along with us for lunch and she paid for all of us!o.O stunned man. really nice of her. she didnt want to accept when we offered to pay her back haha. then later david and i went to walk to bugis and bought the macdonald's mcflurry. there was some new flavours called mudpie and some berry thing. it's a scam! don't buy it! it costs $2.50 and all they do is add the chocolate fudge to the mcflurry.
liverpool beat man utd 2-1 as well!:) yes! i think i don't need to say much more lah;)
i've also officially ran the longest distance i have ever run i think. 14km. don't think i've run more than that before. my timing was 1hr 11min 48sec. not bad i guess. i always try to keep to within 5min for every 1km.
on sunday i played drums for plh worship for the first time in a long time. decided not to do anything fancy and keep it simple. since it's been a long time back and the songs were not there to do any stunts anyways. i can only go crazy when we jam rock songs at cheang's house and crash like nuts haha! the only time i did something stupid was during the welcome song cos we didnt practice that and i didnt know what david was playing so i just decided to crash at the wrong time! lol.
we celebrated mentors' day 2 weeks late too. haha. and we had a good teentalk on serving by uncle nick. plh also has 3 teams signed up for the family day games this year!:) it's this sunday.
yesterday was ryan's bday. so, happy birthday mate!!! it's been a real blessing to have met ryan. and made friends with him and forming crysi-z and stuff. all the crazy, fun, and also meaningful times we've shared. as well as telling secrets and stuff. though nowadays not so much since we're not in the same school anymore. but still love ya all the same dude!haha.
yesterday morning also woke up early to read Bible and do quiet time. then went to school early to run 14laps of interval runs. got an average timing of 1min16secs. not bad i think...
last night i also stayed up to watch liverpool vs marseille. we won 2-1!:) it's the first game of this yr's champions league group stages. so we're off to a good start. unlike last year lol. we went down to a good goal by the french team but gerrard equalised with an absolute stunner 3min later. really fantastic. the shot was really just amazing. if u haven't seen it... go see it!!! then babel got us a penalty after good trickery in the box and gerrard scored from the spot even after having to retake it again. shows what fantastic nerve he's got. that's why he's our captain:) he's one goal away from reaching 100 goals for liverpool too.
recently i've also been addicted to the songs "save you" and "what if" by simple plan and "better that we break" by maroon 5. haha:)
anws, the promos are like 1plus weeks away!!! this is the timetable:
29 sep: GP
30 sep: h1 geog and chinese
2 oct: h2 physics
6 oct: h2 econs
7 oct: h2 maths
i'm just gonna focus on passing GP and the 3 h2s. cos that's all i need to promote to j2. unless they change the promotion requirements or smth..
so far i've almost finished revising maths. already one-third through physics. this week gonna complete my studying for maths and physics. then next week is econs all the way.
hopefully it's enough. please pray for me people!! thx:)
i'm also like 3 weeks late in passing up a GP essay. it was supposed to be due on 25 august. lol. think i'll try to do it tmr..
ok back to my maths!!

no.95
yeah! yesterday was the first breakfast selling for the mission trip fund-raising!!
grandma helped me bake chicken pies to sell. so the food we were selling were chicken pies, hotdog buns, curry chicken and bread, milo, fishballs on a stick, and tiramisu. like wow! must be prinsep breakfast history lol.
i was in charge of the tiramisu and chicken pies. they got sold out the fastest i think haha. david helped me sell. i think we were pretty good salesmen:) lol.
i also managed to sell all of my 15 coupons! hahaha!! yeah man:)
and thx to all those people who came to help out!! couldn't have done it without all of them.
then i helped yiying to backup sing for her worship. i actually didn't even go for the prac so i wasn't really sure what was going on haha. so i decided i will just be there to give yiying moral support cos she was scared for some reason.
the anniversary family day games are coming soon too. i've already got two teams which is same as last year but i think we can go one better than last year and so this week we will try to recruit a third team!!
oh then at lunch tim leong spilled his soup on me haha! silly guy don't know how he hold the bowl can so nice throw it at me LOL. lucky i jumped out of the way so my clothes were not wet but my bag was wet.
then we had mission trip training which ended really late. like at 5.30pm.
it was e-sean's birthday yesterday. so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
she had a mini-party and a few of her school friends came over for dinner and to watch some disney channel movie. i watched king kong on the other tv instead haha. i think the best part is when he kills all 3 T-rexs. abit unbelievable, but nvm it's good action. the only stupid thing about that fight is cos it's all over a stupid girl. she's so small i don't know why all 3 dinosaurs are trying to eat her. and just cos of that they get killed by king kong. haha.
today dunno why i was super sleepy in school. i literally slept sitting up during gp tutorial. the only reason i didnt sleep with my head on the table was bcos mr holden kept kicking my table when my head went down. when school ended i slept for half and hour. then i woke up and studied a little bit of maths and went down to find the school gym wasn't open today. so came home after that lor..
anws regarding my previous post i didn't really know how to conclude it nicely but i think ryan did a great job for me on his blog. here's what he said after copying and pasting from my post:
haha. it was a cool post
on this little tyke master lum met at serangoon stadium. ^^
i think its quite true too
how we make new friends, lose friends, go through heartbreak, sing emo songs on our iPod, and change our dreams
and how we work towards them and dont give up
and you always trust God (:

For GOD!!!
and that is why he is donatello, the Smart One.
grandma helped me bake chicken pies to sell. so the food we were selling were chicken pies, hotdog buns, curry chicken and bread, milo, fishballs on a stick, and tiramisu. like wow! must be prinsep breakfast history lol.
i was in charge of the tiramisu and chicken pies. they got sold out the fastest i think haha. david helped me sell. i think we were pretty good salesmen:) lol.
i also managed to sell all of my 15 coupons! hahaha!! yeah man:)
and thx to all those people who came to help out!! couldn't have done it without all of them.
then i helped yiying to backup sing for her worship. i actually didn't even go for the prac so i wasn't really sure what was going on haha. so i decided i will just be there to give yiying moral support cos she was scared for some reason.
the anniversary family day games are coming soon too. i've already got two teams which is same as last year but i think we can go one better than last year and so this week we will try to recruit a third team!!
oh then at lunch tim leong spilled his soup on me haha! silly guy don't know how he hold the bowl can so nice throw it at me LOL. lucky i jumped out of the way so my clothes were not wet but my bag was wet.

every punch i take and every bone i break
well it's been a pretty lazy holiday so far...
haven't started studying seriously yet.. did some econs.. a bit of maths... mostly i did alot of planning but very little execution haha..
i shall start when term reopens.. hopefully...
well after the adventure travel journey, i've stayed home on wednesday, thur and friday. except friday when there was DBS. oh and to visit my grandpa in hospital. he has some kidney problem so please pray for him!
today i went to run in the morning. 13km. crap man dunno why everytime i run then my legs can just keep going and they dont get tired, but my stomach area and lungs down there feel like wanna explode like that. like got some crazy stitch. but it's not a stitch. i think it's some muscle or organ problem. o.O. if dont have this problem i can run with no problem cos my legs are like dynamo. haha.
then i came home and had a long bath cos was super tired. then i read a christian book and my Bible reading instead of studying haha... then went to see how they were doing at band prac. turns out they were pretty okay. then now i'm backing up for yiying tmr-.- haha... cos she need a guy backup singer.. k then jammed a while and went for lunch.
after lunch then my mission trip group (me, sharilyn, amanda leong, and becky) plus david went to laselle to do our breakfast banners. cos tmr my team selling breakfast. david came cos he got nothing else to do if he go home. anws we both feel super weird if we stay home on a saturday haha.
k anws we couldnt really get started cos we kept talking. i dont think its really my fault cos everyone else also talking haha. and david u are a distraction and caused me to talk to u so david how can u say it's me on ur blog!? haha!
then the girls needed us to buy some stuff for them. so me and david walk to sheng shiong to buy. like the plates and bowls for tmr's breakfast. then we also helped them buy some potato chips cos they wanted to eat.
when we came back they did quite a bit of work already so after a while they got everything done. then we started talking quite alot haha! good bonding time. haha although david was an extra i think his company is still appreciated lol!
anws today in the morning when i was running this boy suddenly started running with me haha. so i jogged a bit faster but then he also ran faster to keep up with me. so i slowed down to give him chance. then asked him "training ah?" then he said ya. so i started talking with him a bit while we were running. turns out he was training for his 1.6km cos he's pri 6. haha.
at that time when he started running with me was after i already ran like 11plus km. so left about 5 rounds of the track. then i was already like dying cos of my stomach problem. but cos he was running with me it caused me not to think of my pain. also cos he was there then i didnt really wanna lose face so i could run like at quite a good pace. lol.
he asked me why i was training so i told him cos of football team. he used to play fullback for st.gabriels soccer team but now stop cos of cca stand down. so we were saying like "ya football team must train running cos whole game must run right hahaha.." then he ask me how long i running so i told him 13km then he got stunned. haha. totally trash his 1.6km.
he's quite cute man. he wore the kind of specs that i wore in pri sch. that flimsy kind that can break if a ball smashes it. then he also really skinny. football team somemore. and he's a nice friendly guy. haha. reminded me of me. i actually saw myself in him today.
caused me to think on the way home and when i was resting in the kitchen drinking my 100plus. he's probably got some big dreams that most boys have. having been in a soccer team maybe his dreams are the soccer kind. yeah well he's gonna grow up and in 5 years time he's gonna be my age. he'll realise most of his dreams like playing for liverpool or singapore were nonsense. his mindset changes. some things stay the same and some things change. he's gonna make new friends. he's gonna lose friends. there's heartbreak. he might sing some emo songs to himself on his ipod. everything that seemed fine and dandy in pri sch is gone and you realise there's a whole different ball game. he decides hmm i'll make some new aims or new dreams. not necessarily related to football. and works towards those.
sometimes u actually realise some of your dreams. in my case one example would be to be playing for my college soccer team right now. most important is you don't give up. and u always trust God.
there's always something out there. that you work towards.
and if you're the underdog, which is usually the case, you work to prove them wrong. even your friends take one look at you and think, he's not good enough. faults here faults there. he's like this. etc. the first look is what they see. they dont look longer. dont look deeper. but you know yourself inside, you know what you're made of. ok who can blame them, most times you dont show it. but you know it's there. you know you're better.
well buddy i hope you know God. if not now, then someday. and trust Him. and NOT anyone else.
i didnt get your name and you didnt get mine. but i hope we meet again some day. hopefully one saturday morning when we go to serangoon stadium to train again.
heh and when you found out who you talked to this morning, we'll try to find a pen and paper so you can get my autograph eh?;) haha ok that was just another ego crappy joke.
take care little tyke.
these little dudes are one of the reasons why i fight.

adventure travel journey!!!
hey folks it's been a great holiday so far!
well saturday afternoon i went to run at serangoon stadium and got caught in the rain :( i did some pull-ups there too and again equaled my best of 18. can't seem to get better than that:(
ok anws sunday we had the PLH hike at southern ridges. we went for 8am service first then afterwards we got on the bus at 9.30. the seniors groups were quite pathetic cos some people didn't go.. in the end my group only had hannah and i, the other group only david and yiying, and jon's group is the best cos only he came and the rest didnt come. i think this shows jon's commitment haha! so the seniors altogether had only 5 ppl and all were J1 or poly 1. all those born in 1991! haha we rock.
anws the hike was not tiring at all. i didn't sweat at all except for the part where i piggy-backed louis and ran up haha!! he's super cute. then i also pushed e-rae in her wheelchair haha. that's the only things that made me sweat. then there was also some high wall thing (i think it's about 4m high) and i ran and jumped up there and did a few pull-ups haha. later david and jon joined me at the top and i think the photos look quite cool lol.
later we went for lunch at vivo city and i ate yong tau foo. i put in quite alot of things in my bowl and it cost $6.50 LOL.
ok then later we went back to church and had the missions trip training.
at night we went to have dinner at grandma's house. jasper (my pri2 cousin) was playing his champions league fifa game on the laptop as usual and i made fun of arsenal haha! (cos he supports arsenal) cos i told him liverpool got 5 champions league and arsenal got ZERO! but he don't believe me haha! silly guy don't even know the history of arsenal. then later dad called fabregas: flabby-gas and uncle danny said van persie is van helsing haha! then he also said arsenal is arse then jasper cried:p
ok anws waht happened yesterday all the way to today is the adventure travel journeys of I-Zack, David and Jon!!!
haha. ok yesterday first we met at city hall mrt at 2.30pm and we went to the toilet first. after the bombing we went to bras basah sweelee to check out some guitars and i played a $1920 guitar. WOW!!! most expensive guitar i have ever touched. ok then we went to near the national library and then walked to bugis. nothing much there so we walked to near lavendar but in the end it was really too smelly and we decided to detour back to plaza sing. we had our dinner there at 6pm. until then the journey was still not interesting because it was at places which we already knew about and we needed to explore some new places!
so from PS we decided to break our rule of not taking transport and took the mrt to aljunied. from aljunied we were supposed to have a journey all the way to east coast park. so we just keep walking in the general direction of east coast park and at 10.30pm we found ourselves on the opposite side of the road of east coast park lol. so we decided to cut through a tunnel to try to get to the other side. actually we were walking into the tunnel but we weren't sure where we would end up, so we would ask like "eh later dunno where this will lead us leh then how?" but our trademark reply would be "but this is an adventure right?" and then we would all be like "yeah!!!" and continue walking. haha!
anws in the tunnel we were walking and then suddenly heard an announcement which i think is meant for us but we couldnt make out what they were saying. then soon some security truck which said "emas recovery" came and stopped near us. then the guy came out and asked what we were doing. so i just acted dumb and explained we wanted to get to east coast park but we didnt know the way. then they told us to go out through the emergency exit. then they took a photo of the 3 of us! lol! i think it's for recording purposes in case next time we are caught in a tunnel again haha. so bla bla we came out and contined on our way to ECP.
in the end we reached there about 11plus and took a break. we bought big gulp and nachos from the 7-11 and sat down to eat. then we also ate the julie's peanut butter biscuits that mum gave me to bring. after which we continued walking through ECP. i was starting to feel really tired and wanted to sleep but good thing we found the shower place and bathed to get refreshed. only jon was hyper the whole night cos he drank shark and red bull LOL.
ok 2am we started walking more out of east coast park to explore some new grounds.
by 4am we decided to go back to ECP and slacked at the macs and discussed what would be the next part of our adventure. so at 4.30am we decided to walk to the nearest mrt station and take the train to the twins house. so we went out and walked aimlessly cause we thought in singapore if u just kept walking sure can find a mrt station lol. in the end we reached a bus-stop and i did some mapping skills and concluded we should follow the route of bus 966 to get to eunos mrt. so after a long walk we finally reached eunos mrt at 6am.
but i saw the train route would go past outram mrt so i decided that i would skip going to the twins house and go hom to sleep. in the end on the way home i slept and woke up at punggol haha! so had to take the train back to serangoon again and i reached home at 7.15am. took a bath and ate some cereal and i slept at 7.45am all the way til 5pm.
yup and that's the end of our adventure travel journey! i dunno why we call it that but david came up with the name long ago haha. but the last time was just travel journey but today's one was ADVENTURE travel journey. and we are definitely not gonna have anymore for a long time haha. also need to start studying for my promos, so from tmr onwards i'm gonna start studying. (promos is end of sept to start of oct)
wow i think it was a really very good excellent experience. non-stop walking like from 2.30pm to 6am the next day!o.O of course got some stops lah but still like really quite amazing. the distance we covered we estimate maybe 10-20km. and the only food we ate was at dinner at plaza sing and the nachos and biscuits at east coast park. and we only drank like one bottle of water cos couldnt find any place to refill. and the big gulp too. good thing jon said he prayed for good weather:)
alright that's all for now haha! some nice photos and videos that we took too:)
ok i think it's time to eat dinner soon!
