haha ok since i have so much time i shall do my last blog post for the year.
hmm.. after alevels i went to australia for 11days. it was quite a fun trip. went to gold coast, blue mountains and sydney. at gold coast we went to dreamworld and movieworld. the rides there are really good! got some which are super fast and crazy haha. we went to visit alot of places. as usual, my dad wanted to see those nature places with good views of mountains and forests, etc. the weather was very sunny but also windy so we didn't sweat at all. at sydney we went to visit the harbour and walk around the city streets.
we came back on the 14th which is exactly one week ago. on wednesday i went to bugis to do some christmas shopping with the twins haha! bought christmas gifts for my family plus a pair of jeans and white cotton on slippers for myself lol.
on thursday i went to watch avatar. it's a super good show! but it's really long. 2hrs 40min. but it's quite interesting so you'll pay attention throughout the whole 2hrs-plus haha.
on saturday we had DG bbq at ariel's house. it was quite fun cos we talked and laughed alot. david followed jon along and sam wee's family also came so it added more fun from outside our DG.
i think i've been addicted to burgers after my australia trip. since we came back one week ago, i've eaten a big mac, 4 double cheeseburgers, one moss burger and one whopper. that averages one burger per day haha! yesterday we had our class bbq too. and actually i don't really eat bbq food and somemore the day before already had bbq, that's why i bought 2 double cheeseburgers from mac's for my dinner lol. hanging out with my class is always fun as usual. we played a bit of bball and then just sat down to chat and joke. we left kenneth's house at 113o and i reached home at 12plus.
ok that's all for now. coming up for the rest of the year we have the plh christmas party on 23rd plus sleepover after the party, christmas on 25th, thanksgiving dinner on 26th, plh graduation on 27th, and watchnight service on 31st. yup, should have enough activities to keep me occupied for the rest of the year haha.
byebye!

time to play the game!
ok time for my post for the month haha!
yeah my birthday is finally over! it was pretty ok. got some nice presents. 18 years old hahaha. cool.. for the actual day on monday i stayed home to study maths! haha. but at night my parents cooked a nice dinner and we had some cake. on tuesday i went out with the class guys for dinner just to chill. and on wednesday i celebrated it again! haha!!
i got birthday money from grandma and my parents, boxers and some biscuits and chocolate from e-sean, plus other stuff like a shirt, donuts, and a liverpool poster!!(: next time if you come my house you can see it on my room wall immediately cos it's quite big haha!
it's just 3 more days to start of 'A' levels. to be honest i'm a bit concerned about it but not stressed or anything. i think that's a good and bad thing about me. calm is good. but too calm may not actually be good. haha. i must say even though i've put in the most effort for maths, it's still my worst subject. actually my stats quite pro already but my pure maths is like crap. bad thing is pure maths is 70% of the paper. if can get C for maths i quite happy already haha! let's say i can get 40/100 for paper 1, then 20/40 for the pure maths in paper 2, plus 50/60 for the stats, then it will add up to 55% which is a C! haha. just a rough gauge lah.
my other subjects like geog and econs i thINK should be ok. physics i'm still not too sure but it's the last few papers so i have some time to study more for that. and for GP, it's just down to the essay qns and compre that comes out. better pray that God gives me stuff that i'm comfortable with. haha.
hopefully all those can get B. if i manage to pull it off it'll be a super big jump from prelims. in case people don't know..
prelims:
h1 geog U (36)
gp S (44)
maths U (36)
econs U (34)
physics E (45)
yup. you can go o.O??? now. haha. as of this moment i shall make my prediction/aim for A's. my prediction is usually my aim la. so it's like the same thing haha. for O's my predictions and aims were my actual results in the end, so if history is anything to go by, this will also be likely what i will get for Alevels:
h1 geog B
gp B
maths C
econs B
physics B
like i've said before, i'm not even daring to say that i will get one A. i've never got above C in a major exam in CJC before, so B's will still take some doing. combined with C for project work and quite confirmed pass for CL'B', my UES will be exactly 75/90. that actually looks pretty high lol. actually when you know that a B is just 60% it looks quite easy to get. but when take the paper and get the results dunno why 40% (which is S) also like very hard lol. hopefully i'll be able to get andrenalin rush during the papers again cos it's a big exam. i think usually people just jump 2-3 grades from prelims to 'A's. if that happens i'll be getting mostly D's. o.O. jia lat. lol.
anyways, it's 24 days left til 'A's are over!!! whoohoo!!! so fast man. let's not forget the small matter that it starts in 3 days too haha.
ok time to get back to studying. my next post will most likely be in december around christmas. so if you want to check, just come back around christmas time haha!

3 weeks minus 1 day
whoa it's just 20 days to the start of A-levels. i still feel quite unprepared. there's really alot to cover. looking on the bright side, my knowledge has improved in the last few weeks. haha. that just says how bad a situation i was in last time. to be honest, i don't see a subject where i am gonna get an A in. i calculated that if i were to get B's in everything, my UES will still be like about 75/90. which in itself is not too bad i guess lol. i'm not aiming for anything like medicine or law. so, yes, i would be quite ok with all B's. any A i get will be a bonus. (and it is always nice to do better than what you expect. haha) all B's and i'll just say i'm a jack of all trades and a master of none lol.
to get an idea of how badly prepared i am, let's just say i improved for prelims and still failed haha. although i was the most improved student in the school for physics (16 to 45). i improved quite a bit for maths and geog too (which were around the 20% range) and just missed out on passing. econs was wasted. and gp was a flop. worst paper i've done while in cj.
yup, so this last 3 weeks will be crucial. 2 years ago, i started 3 weeks before O-levels. i'm not stupid enough to think that i'll be able to pull it off again. so please just pray for me. haha.
ok i shall cover some geog today. i must say that i think i have really levelled up for geog recently. it's the h1 subject and it is the only subject that the teachers are pumping us with remedials for. oh, econs also lah. ermhem.. physics and maths? haha.
alright. off i go. byebye.

one month and a day
haha i think nobody reads this blog anymore but i'll do one post while it's still september. i feel like i'm talking to myself! haha. i used to average one post per week. then it became once every fortnight. now i'm struggling to post once a month.
prelims have been ok so far i think.. i'm quite sure i'll do better for geog (then again, the highest mark i've scored for geog in CJ is 30%). physics i'm not sure but i think with the studying i should have improved. the econs tuition has really helped and if i get an A for A-levels i think i'll do something nice for yiying for bringing me to the tuition haha. my pure maths is horrendous to say the least but at least stats is pretty ok. after prelims i have to work on pure maths..
someone told me "love is a strange word."
hmm. could love be a simple thing that we humans make complicated? i've realised that love can be expressed in many different ways.
you don't have to say anything to show someone you love them. as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.
then again, sometimes love can be expressed by doing nothing. i never knew that. haha.
just some random thoughts i suddenly had.
hmm.. what did the Bible say about love? something about love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, does not boast. keeps no record of wrongs. always trusts? always perserveres. oh and my favourite, love never fails. haha. i never knew that was from the Bible until one day. i guess the ultimate thing is God is love.
hmm.. less talking, more walking.
ok i'm going on and on here. why did i suddenly start talking about that? weird.. man, i hope this week passes by soon. before i know it, prelims will be over!! then it's time to study for A-levels. haha. so no difference. in fact, have to work harder.
6 more days to escape!!!!!!(: whoohoooooo!!!!!!!

1 week to prelims
whoa... long time since i last posted here. like one month i think. haha. kinda forgot that i have a blog. writing everything in a diary is much better for remembering stuff that i wanna rmb. let's see..
prelims are next week! man, i think if they were the real A-levels i will fail my maths, physics and geog. straightaway don't need to go uni. can start work right after army, or go poly. if i had to choose, i will just start working. haha. that's the situation now unless i buck up.
so this week i have started to study. ya, just started. at least not as bad as o-levels, when i only started 3 weeks before the exam. now i've given myself 2months plus before A's. whether that's enough remains to be seen. and as of now my future still hangs in the balance, delicately dangling over a cliff top, just about going to fall into the depths of the sea. to quote mr holden, "you're walking on the edge, i-zack. walking on the edge and just about to fall off." and mr rajoo, "you're throwing your life away." yes, strong words. like, wow.
of course, i won't let the pressure get to me. and that's just the thing, because sometimes, i think i should.
prelims end 18 sept! whoohoo!!!!!

the kop comes to asia 09
wow.. it's been a really cool last 3 days. still trying to take it all in.. haha.
went to cycle and play football after school on friday. really fun!!(: i think $5 for 2 hours on a bike is like quite cheap right? not bad la. haven't cycled at all since last year december.
then saturday was the liverpool singapore river boat ride! went with e-sean to see them at clarke quay. super cool. kept taking photos and videos. i got a few waves too! like from rafa and sammy lee. i shouted the most at alonso. trying to get him to stay haha. then the whole crowd was like running all around the river following the boat! o.O all mad. e-sean and i included. haha! followed it around for one hour. and it was so noisy cos everyone kept shouting. then the last part was quite cool cos we did lots of chants and songs. torres was obviously the fans' main focus cos gerrard wasn't able to make it to singapore. i think kuyt and reina were the most friendly ones cos they kept waving and smiling to the fans. sammy lee too. and i think rafa really loves the fans. great manager. i think some of the players may have been a bit sian cos they probably get this everywhere they go. haha. but only liverpool then the fans will get so hyped up la.
then yesterday went to watch them play against the singapore team at national stadium. uncle gary got us tickets for the north end. so we didn't have very good seats. but it wasn't too bad lah. the atmosphere was quite nice. but i wish we had sat at the east or west ends. cos the places where we sat had lotsa stupid quiet fans. so lousy.. oh ya before the game started there was like one guy wearing a man utd shirt then everyone started booing him and chanted "MAN U SUCKS! MAN U SUCKS!" LOL! super funny. and the whole stadium was red!! but cos of liverpool, not singapore LOL. today's papers said that some of the singapore players were disappointed that we didn't cheer for them more. haha! who cares about them now that liverpool are in town!! wait for tiger cup or something then cheer for them la LOL. the crowd cheered the most for torres and alonso. i was really pleased that kuyt got the captain's armband when carragher got taken off(: yeah good on ya dirk!! one of my favourite players. i chanted for alonso the most. another one of my favourite players(: hope he stays.. if he or mascherano leave then next year's title challenge will be quite hampered. without the two of them gerrard won't be as effective. we'll really need alonso's control of the game plus masch's breaking down of opponent's attacks.. so it was nice that the crowd did super lot of xabi alonso! chants. i was quite impressed that they at least had the common sense to cheer for him the most. though i can't say the same for mascherano. but maybe his name is just too long to chant haha! nemeth got the 3rd and 5th goals. not a bad finsher by the looks of it. if he's as good as they think he's gonna be, then in a few years to come when gerrard retires we could have a torres-nemeth strikeforce which is gonna be really exciting. when torres scored the 4th goal the whole stadium went crazy! haha. even more crazy when they subbed him and alonso on. and that is REALLY crazy. lol. kuyt created the last 3 goals. looks like he's in good form coming to the start of the season(: whoa but looking at the 5-0 scoreline, either singapore is really lousy or liverpool is really strong.. i think cos liverpool is really strong la. haha!
well, it was a good experience(: everything was pretty sweet. the only little blip is that gerrard wasn't here. and the next time they come to singapore i'll get the best tickets and arrive at the stadium 3hrs before kickoff haha! oh and maybe bring a scarf to hold up while singing you'll never walk alone.
oh ya i didn't go school today so i'm staying at home. gonna watch the replay of last night's match plus try to get some work done. haha.
okie dokes. byebye.

hook, line, and sinker
many fish out in the sea
but there's only one for me
i'm sure it's super tasty
i'll just have to wait and see
you know i've never fished before
so my bait is kinda raw
but i'll just try more and more
keep fishing even when my butt gets sore
though the rains pour and the winds blow
and i might go down from an undertow
something tells me to row and row
i want that fish, that's all i know
but there's only one for me
i'm sure it's super tasty

michael owen a.k.a. judas
latest transfer news is that michael owen has signed for man utd.
i better not say too much cos this blog is open to the public...
no brains. no loyalty.
i hope he never wins anything there and his career goes even more downhill than it already has after he left liverpool.
i regret idolising him as a boy.
anyways my pokemon are trashing everyone in sight haha! but after 7 badges i realised for the last badge and the elite four i only need blastoise, kadabra, and dugtrio. so i'm using this 3 more to make them level up faster. then i put a dragonite in the team just for the fun of it. with raticate, fearow and victreebel rotating with other strong pokemon like rhydon, rapidash, kabutops, etc.. depending on what opposition i'm up against. of course i used the rare candy code to speed up evolution. haha!
yesterday was CL'B' midyear paper. quite easy haha! then after that i went to gary's house with steven to play PS. haha! super fun.
then in the evening i went back to serangoon north to see my old house:) good times..
what a great night!!!!(:(:
ok dinner time. byebye.

church camp 09
hello! just came back from church camp on monday.
yesterday was quite a wasted day cos i slept almost the whole day and didn't do any studying haha.. but today i shall try to get some physics done after i do this post.
anws, church camp was ok. it's my last church camp in PLH! haha. there's some good points and some bad points la. some bad points is that maybe TCH won't be as fun as PLH. and some good points is that don't need to follow some things in the PLH programme already.
everyday is almost the same programme. wake up and morning devotion and then go breakfast and worship and the talk and then buzz group and then lunch and then afternoon activity and then dinner and worship and talk again and then finish.
after morn devotion i usually went back to my room to skip breakfast and get some extra sleep. buzz groups were led by aunty uli and they were quite good. learnt some stuff.
the first day afternoon activity was "family bonding time". my family went to play bowling. my scores were quite good. 147 and 131.
2nd day was PLH games. my "I-Zack's team" won 1st prize. it's the second year running that my team has won the big prize at the PLH camp games. (last year we won best skit). so, yay, not bad. at least my last 2 years in PLH can win the coveted championship. LOL! then after the games the boys started dunking each other into the pool haha! i pushed weng shien in and his spectacles lens dropped out. but good thing the pool cleaner found it and returned it so i didn't need to go look for it or pay for it haha.
3rd day was freetime so we went to play football. the first and second game was played with our own PLH peeps. i scored 4 and 3 goals in those 2 games. then the 3rd game was with the other church that was there. i think we lost by a few goals. like 15-12 or smth like that. can't rmb. i scored 8 in that game. but we were all tired from the first 2 games and they were like 20+ yrs old. so i think it's not too bad. then after the game i went into the pool to cool off with paul and eddie.
at night we had worshipXplosion!! haha. i think all the worship leaders led 2 songs each. i led "one day" and "running after you". the rest of the time you have to stand there and be backup singer. but quite boring to do that and some more i was the only guy on stage. so i decided to play guitar for "at the cross" and "second chance" and drums for "free". oh yeah, the crazy part was when i did the stage dive after "running after you" haha! cos paul and the guys told me before worshipX started that if i did a stage dive they would catch me. so i was like "sure or not??" and they said yes yes we'll catch you. so ok lor. when the song ended just jump. haha! so fun. we were laughing like mad. then the last part i decided it's more fun to join the guys on the floor than with the girls on stage so i went into the crowd and we organised a stage invasion for "always & forever" haha!! we ran up onto the stage during the chorus and jumped about. super funny. yup.
then after worship i was super tired so i went back to the room and slept.
ok i think that's about it for what i can remember at church camp now. i'm lazy to type about anything else.
next year church camp in TCH already haha.
byebye.
yesterday was quite a wasted day cos i slept almost the whole day and didn't do any studying haha.. but today i shall try to get some physics done after i do this post.
anws, church camp was ok. it's my last church camp in PLH! haha. there's some good points and some bad points la. some bad points is that maybe TCH won't be as fun as PLH. and some good points is that don't need to follow some things in the PLH programme already.
everyday is almost the same programme. wake up and morning devotion and then go breakfast and worship and the talk and then buzz group and then lunch and then afternoon activity and then dinner and worship and talk again and then finish.

Camp V-nest
hello!!
i'm here to talk about my class CIP! it was from 2-4 june (9am-5pm everyday) and we were facilitating a camp for kids. it was called Camp V-nest. lol. ya i know, silly name.
anyways, it was held in jiemin pri school. oh man it was quite fun haha! i really enjoyed it cos i liked the kids in my group:) i was group leader and joshua and emily were helping me (josh was the assistant leader). i think we took care of the kids pretty well and got them involved in all the games and activities. they were learning about 3 values: peace, resilience and gratefulness. haha. oh, the kids were all pri4-5.
i think my group was maybe the most well-behaved group and actually me and joshua enjoyed it alot more than the others haha. i made it a point for my group to sit together at lunch and break times. and everytime we had activity i made sure that we all sat in a circle and everyone had a chance to talk and participate. thankfully, i don't think our kids were that troublesome.
there were 6 kids in my group. 3 boys 3 girls. the boys were hafiz, marteen, and yi da. and the girls were zoey, joanne, and yining. hafiz and marteen are super funny. they kept talking to me and josh about liverpool and arsenal. and they kept doing their rock on! hand signs. lol. yi da is super cute and he's got a twin brother yi hong who looks like me and the whole class were going on about it. he really does kinda look like me cos he wears the thick specs i used to wear haha. joanne is super cute but she's shy. and she's kinda tiny. haha! super cute. josh and i kinda liked her alot cos she made the gratefulness medal for us:) zoey is quite scary cos she's alittle over-dominant. haha! like she tries to take charge when we're playing games but that's cos she's a bit more mature for her age. i found out it's cos she's the eldest of 5 kids at home. wow. yining is just like a normal girl. and she likes to tell some jokes which are kinda like.. huh?? lol.
well i don't think i'm supposed to say too much cos we're actually not supposed to write about our camp and put up any photos on facebook haha!
anyways, i learned lots from facilitating the camp and i realised that i like to work with children and i hope i get the chance to do it again. it was also a good time for me to bond with my classmates and get to know them better. especially joshua. cos he was my assistant leader and we were working very closely together and talking about our kids alot.
actually i'm doing this post cos we're supposed to write our reflections and pass them up to kenneth so i'm letting my thoughts flow with this post and then later cut and paste and make it more formal, then ok liao. haha! smart right? lol.
man, i really miss the kids in my group:(.. serious! on thursday night i couldn't sleep properly sia. kept thinking about the fun 3 days i had. i hope i can see them again. it's quite hard cos bruce, our camp instructor, didn't allow us to exchange contact info. and they live in yishun, so it's quite hard to see them around. if only it was some school around serangoon. haha. i feel like their big brother man. ok i think this is enough content to do my reflection essay. haha!
rock on!!

The Chumpions
whoa hoho. long time since i last posted on my blog!! haha..
hmm... the only interesting stuffs that happened in school recently was the inter-class sepak takraw competition yesterday!
our class decided we will submit a team. me, gary, syam and shu feng. and our team name was... "The Legendary Undefeated Noorzailan's Tricycle Kick Chumpions to the Muximum x 10(^8) Team".
lol. ya i know, super long name. haha! the last part is *times 10 to the power of 8* but i dunno how to type out the small power at the top. haha!
in the end, they just wrote our team name on the scoreboard as "2T24". then we decided to shorten our name to just "The Chumpions". lol. there were 16 teams in total. 4 groups of 4. the top 2 of each group qualify for the quater-finals.
anyways, we won all our 3 group games easily to make it to the quarter-finals as top of our group.
our team formation was me in the centre, gary on the right, and syam on the left. but syam had to leave early to go watch X-men wolverine, so shu feng came in to substitute him. i was the main server of the team and most of our points came from my serves. but i made some mistakes too so we lost some points there as well haha. the rattan ball is quite hard, so i've got some bruises on my legs and my head is hurting really bad from heading it too much and too hard. lol.
we won the quarter-final easily in straight sets too. but we lost in the semi-finals.
there was 3rd and 4th placing match too and we lost that one as well. so in the end we finished 4th.
we were all super disappointed cos we had expected to win the whole thing. our class is tipped as favourites to win alot of sports competitions this year cos we have quite a few people that can play some sports. but this year so far we've only got 3rd for handball and now 4th for sepak takraw.. but nvm..
we also found out from the draw yesterday that at the CJC Olympic games in july that our class is participating in football, netball, and basketball. i can quite confidently say that we are one of the favourites to win football. and our netball team is quite a good one too. so we'll be gunning for those 2 trophies. for our bball, sad to say, i think we'll get trashed hahaa!! (sorry jeanne) (if she ever finds this blog. lol)
anyway, gary and i were super angry with the referee that took our semifinal and 3rd&4th placing matches cos he was super lousy. like seriously. but he was a student lah, so can't really be helped..
actually yesterday was really really angry about it. i have this bad tendency to lose in semi-finals. and yesterday was another semi-final hoodoo for me. but i'm much better now lah.
but oh well, whether we won or lost, nobody can deny that we are still The Chumpions! hahaha..
by the way, i think i've invented a new football kick called the tricycle kick!! it's something like the bicycle kick, only that you swing your kicking foot first as well. meaning that you do a triple swing with your legs. hahaha!! it's really hard!!! i realised that it's easier to do it in the straight overhead kick style, rather than the sideways scissors kick style. but it's just for show lah. haha. new skill invented!! whoohoo!!!
ok i'm talking lots of football stuff now haha..
anyway, man utd can win the title tonight as long as they gain a point against the pathetic arsenal. it looks all over, but must not give up hope!! either way, it must be said that liverpool have got much closer this year. and if looking at the "what-ifs", we might have won. what if gerrard and torres had been fit for more games? what if we had won just 3 of the games we drew at anfield? what if man utd had not won in the last minutes by those macheda guy's goals? etc etc..
but yes, i hate to say it once again, but.. next season will be our season! haha!

post-season analysis
our a-div season is over..
lost to ACJC 1-0 yesterday. i think NJ is an unlucky ground for us. we've played 4 matches there in the last two years and lost every game by one goal (last year 1-2 to ACS(i), this year 0-1 to NJ, 1-2 to AJ and 0-1 to AC). the two matches we won this year were played at SR (3-2 against dunman) and VJ (2-0 against NY).
so our final standings for this year is played 5, won 2, draw 0, lost 3, scored 6, conceded 6, pts 6. LLWWL. scorers: justin 3, me 2, caleb 1.
i think in our group we were like 5th out of 6 teams. unlucky if you ask me. i'd say we bounced back pretty well from the first 2 defeats. all our losses were down to defensive errors. some stuff that just can't be helped. all these little details make the difference in a tight competition like the a-divs. the teams that we were expected to beat this year like NJ and AJ have improved alot as well.
we really had high hopes for the season. expected to at least make it to the next stage. but well, the first two games really cost us, and by the time we bounced back, it was too late. had we not made the mistakes against NJ and AJ i think it would have been a much different story. but as it is, we're out and have to hope the next batch does better next year.
one thing i feel about our guys is that we're too "nice". we don't go into tackles hard enough. we have to put our head and body in more. if you go 100% into a tackle you're less likely to get injured. i'm probably the meanest tackler in the team (rahim and floyd tackle harder, but i tackle MEANER. there's a slight difference lol). and for some reason i just love going in really hard into a challenge.
although one good point about us is that we don't play-act or whine to the referee (in fact i quarrel with the refs haha). well, i don't mean to stereo-type, but there's a reason why we don't like schools like NJ and AC. even in a soccer match, you can see their people dropping onto the floor the whole game and hear them crying and complaining to the ref. AJ and NY didn't do that. for dunman, they just kept sucking-up to the ref ("good call ref!" i've never heard that phrase more times in any soccer game i've ever played). so yeah, CJC are really the a-div nice guys (except for their vice-captain lol).
for me, it was only a satisfactory a-div. the bad point is that i didn't get to attack as much as i, or even coach, would have liked. the teams we played just didn't allow it. the only match where i produced match-winning goals was the dunman high game. i had 4 shots the entire competition and i scored with 2 of them. the two misses were a header just over the bar and a long-range effort which the keeper saved. the good point is that i probably held my position really well. none of the teams bossed our midfield. and i'd like to think that i was more than a match for any centre-midfielder i was up against. against AJ and dunman it was easy meat. in the NY game i outplayed their big guy and he had to be subbed off. and against NJ and AC i was up against their combined schools team players and i matched them pretty well, if not better. so yeah, i'd like to say that i'm one of the better centre-midfielders in this year's a-divs. (i can't make the bolder statement that i always love to, cos we didn't play all the teams. haha..)
so for me, it was good tackling, passing and positioning. not enough attacking. and although my air challenges are not that great, i've improved alot in a short space of time as compared to last year when i didn't win a single header.
well, i'd say the experience of playing competitive soccer again was a good and enjoyable one. despite the early disappointments, the way we came back was encouraging. and so, i've played my last game in a CJ shirt.. haha. proud to have been vice-captain of a CJ team and wore the no.7 shirt for 2009. and not to mention the no.39 in 08 too! haha.
ok, time to throw away my soccer socks and hang up my boots..

easter and A-divs
whoops.. haven't posted anything for a long time!
it's good friday weekend! and for PLH, that means easter retreat!:)
this easter retreat was actually more fun than i expected. the youth comm really organised it well. i think the new people we've put in have contributed with quite a few new and fresh ideas.
on friday everyone came at about 3plus and had the usual registration and groupings. paul and shona were in charge of the ice breakers and they had some nice interesting games:)
my group was rebecca chan, michelle goh, colin, darren ho, coco, daniel and justin. grace foong and becky koh left early.
after ice breakers we had 1 hour for wash up time. and paul and i decided to use this time to have our wrestling match!! the undefeated giant vs the plh undisputed champion! lol. it was arguably the greatest match in our plh wrestling federation history lol. i think it comes quite close to the first match we ever had at bbc 07 (the 6-man elimination match involving me, jeremy, tim leong, shaun, david and jon, which i won and became champion). for the fact that paul and i went on for an amazing 40min (5.30-6.10pm). i got paul in some arm bar on the ground early on. twisted his arm and stuff and he was like shouting in pain on the ground. heh. i'm really shocked that he didn't tap out. that was definitely the most gutsy thing i've ever seen. but it helped me cos he played the rest of the match with a weakened left arm, preventing him from having the strength to lift me at times. i don't remember much details, but i somehow got paul on the ground and managed to pin him in a 3-count. wow. haha. just wow.
now my back, neck, and right arm are aching alot from the match. lol. paul is like the hardest guy ever to get onto the ground. my spinebusters almost didn't work!! good thing i had the submission move haha!
then it was dinner. and at night we had a passover meal thing. we kinda did it before during the easter retreat that i was sec1. and then we had a reflection time for 1hour-plus in the sanctuary which quite a few of us found helpful.
oh yes, then at night we were about to have our first-ever PLH wrestling tag-team championship match. i was partnering paul! i'm pretty sure we were favourites to become the first-ever tag-team champs of PLH, but just before the match could start my dad came in and stopped everything... in the end our room was super guai. lights off by 1145 and most of them slept by 12plus. the twins, paul and i were awake til 1plus then we got hungry. we decided to come down to the kitchen and we found the leftovers from supper haha! we finished everything!! four hungry boys at night. what do you expect? lol. yes and after some heart to heart talks we were asleep by 2plus with full stomachs. i love that feeling:) eat and sleep. lol.
the next day i woke up in the morning at 530 cos i needed to pee. then i decided might as well take a nice morning bath. shiok! haha. breakfast was at 7am. then we had devotion and worship too. after that the groups split up to plan for their presentations. the skits were not bad, considering the amount of time they had to prepare. my group got second for it:)
then it was lunch time. paul and i ate at a fast pace so we could go up to the youth comm room early to take a wrestling video. lol. a fake one. our acting is quite lousy but funny too! haha! it was supposed to be a hardcore match and we used lotsa weapons in the room. even the tables! haha!!
then it was the group games which were pretty fun. and musical chairs too! it's fun at the part where the people wear blindfolds and you can mess with them by taking away the chairs haha!
and we ended the camp by 5pm.
today went to church for easter sunday service. there was baptism and confirmation. congrats to michelle, amanda, shaun, and serene! these are those from plh who went.
then went up to mph to jam for awhile.
ok i'm running outta time. needa speed up my posting pace haha.
anyways, we've been having a-division matches the past 2 weeks.
lost to NJC 0-1
lost to AJC 1-2
beat dunman high 3-2
beat NYJC 2-0
our last group game is against ACJC on friday. despite losing our first 2 matches, we've still got a good chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals after winning in our last 2. we were quite unlucky in the NJ match. lost to a headed goal from a freekick. i'd like to think we were equal with them the whole game.
for the AJ match, it was defensive mistakes that cost us.
i scored 2 goals in the dunman match. i think we played kinda badly and were fortunate to come away with the 3pts.
but in the NY game we really played well. fully deserved the 2-0 win.
i think if we win on friday we're through. gotta take a look at the table when i get back to school this week.
ok that's all for now. i think i'll post again after a-divs end.

it's good friday weekend! and for PLH, that means easter retreat!:)
this easter retreat was actually more fun than i expected. the youth comm really organised it well. i think the new people we've put in have contributed with quite a few new and fresh ideas.
on friday everyone came at about 3plus and had the usual registration and groupings. paul and shona were in charge of the ice breakers and they had some nice interesting games:)
my group was rebecca chan, michelle goh, colin, darren ho, coco, daniel and justin. grace foong and becky koh left early.
after ice breakers we had 1 hour for wash up time. and paul and i decided to use this time to have our wrestling match!! the undefeated giant vs the plh undisputed champion! lol. it was arguably the greatest match in our plh wrestling federation history lol. i think it comes quite close to the first match we ever had at bbc 07 (the 6-man elimination match involving me, jeremy, tim leong, shaun, david and jon, which i won and became champion). for the fact that paul and i went on for an amazing 40min (5.30-6.10pm). i got paul in some arm bar on the ground early on. twisted his arm and stuff and he was like shouting in pain on the ground. heh. i'm really shocked that he didn't tap out. that was definitely the most gutsy thing i've ever seen. but it helped me cos he played the rest of the match with a weakened left arm, preventing him from having the strength to lift me at times. i don't remember much details, but i somehow got paul on the ground and managed to pin him in a 3-count. wow. haha. just wow.
now my back, neck, and right arm are aching alot from the match. lol. paul is like the hardest guy ever to get onto the ground. my spinebusters almost didn't work!! good thing i had the submission move haha!
then it was dinner. and at night we had a passover meal thing. we kinda did it before during the easter retreat that i was sec1. and then we had a reflection time for 1hour-plus in the sanctuary which quite a few of us found helpful.
oh yes, then at night we were about to have our first-ever PLH wrestling tag-team championship match. i was partnering paul! i'm pretty sure we were favourites to become the first-ever tag-team champs of PLH, but just before the match could start my dad came in and stopped everything... in the end our room was super guai. lights off by 1145 and most of them slept by 12plus. the twins, paul and i were awake til 1plus then we got hungry. we decided to come down to the kitchen and we found the leftovers from supper haha! we finished everything!! four hungry boys at night. what do you expect? lol. yes and after some heart to heart talks we were asleep by 2plus with full stomachs. i love that feeling:) eat and sleep. lol.

what holiday??
the common tests are over! i'm pretty sure i failed almost everything. maths was the worst. i left ALOT of questions blank. if i get full marks for all the questions i attempted, i will get 26 marks. lol. and maths was the only subject i studied for! this just goes to show that studying does not guarantee anything. if you go into an exam without studying, you have nothing to lose. that's what i feel. haha. but only this kind of not-important tests then can play play. when a-levels come then cannot anyhow play play liao haha.
last friday we had a friendly against river valley high too. we beat them 7-0. but i'm quite disappointed cos it could actually have been more than 10-0. ALOT more. i managed to get 2 goals before being substituted off 10min into the second half. so i've been top scorer so far with 5 goals in 2 games (reko is 2nd with 3). mum says why can't i be top scorer in studies too lol.. i can, but give others a headstart first lah.. haha! makes it alot more interesting again. just like o-levels.
GIGS was okay. i guess the game was quite fun, but maybe not practical for so many people to play. but the comm should get better with every event it organises. so i'm not thAt worrried yet..
hmm... i've got nothing else to say i guess. i'm just happy for the one-week away from any lessons. looks like nothing's changed for me even though the holidays are here (except for not needing to go school for lectures and tutorials), cos during school term i also act like it's my holiday haha!! just ask the twins and michelle lol.

9U3
it's been a pretty eventful week.
on wednesday we had the CJC annual cross-country. at macritchie reservoir.
i managed to get 9th place in the school. so got another nice trophy:) but my table a bit no space to put it. it started really congested but i managed to break through the crowd half way through the jungle. then just keep running til the end haha.
yesterday (friday) had chinese alevel results. i got a U! haha... so have to take CL 'B' this year.. sian lah. i expected to fail chinese lah so don't worry people i'm not sad. stop comforting me guys lol. i just don't like it that i have to go for CL B lessons. waste time..
then we had a friendly against NUS high too. we trashed them 8-1. i got a first-half hat-trick. first goal was a tap-in from a goal-mouth scramble. then the second goal was a nice scissors kick from a cross from the right. the hat-trick goal was a cut-back from justin to me on the edge of the box and i shot it first time into the top corner. it was 5-1 at half-time. then second half we scored 3 more and then coach subbed me out cos he was trying out the substitutes for 2nd half. so yeah, a nice win for us. but they weren't very good lah.. that's why it was just a warm-up for the A-divs haha.
yup that's all. next week is common tests!! die..

rockafella
HELLLOOOOOO CJC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha. that was what i shouted when the curtains opened and the cheers from the crowd greeted us. for a moment i was stunned and just stood there soaking it all in. then came to my senses, took the mike and shouted into it lol.
yeah, rockafella was pretty ok. actually it wasn't as good as i had hoped. cos i kinda messed up abit of my second solo. and according to daryl, brother paul wasn't very happy cos we blasted our instruments until the judges couldn't hear me sing. but everyone i asked told me they could hear the singing. so i'm wondering what's the difference between the judges ears and those in the audience. cos the video yiying helped me take could also hear the singing very clearly. haha. ah it doesn't matter now lah.
actually i thought it was quite bad, but after seeing the video i think it was actually quite ok.
i think "only one" was good. the crowd sang along during the chorus. my class were cheering like mad haha! and there was one part where the crowd did a kallang wave. i think it was during the solo haha.
now i look back, i think "i'd hate to be you" was a wrong song choice. cos it's not a very well-known song. so the crowd couldnt sing along. maybe something like "she will be loved" would have been better. but no use crying over spilt milk lah.
well, it was a good experience:) the biggest stage we've ever performed on! and the largest audience. i think about half the school went? the whole auditorium was filled lah. and to just hear the crowd was like... wow... haha. too bad my classmates weren't allowed to go right up to the stage so i couldn't do my planned stage dive. LOL. we had REALLY planned to do it! totally nuts haha. but thanks to the class for supporting me(: hearing them scream and seeing them stand up and cheer my name was the best part of last night.
having a band performance is really something. i'm not sure if i'll ever perform in front of such a big crowd again. or having such mad supporters. but i really hope i get another chance. performing is really something else.
but being in the crowd is another thing!! haha. when Class Act (last year's winners) performed "beat it" i escaped from backstage to the hall and joined my class. and we starting going OUTTA CONTROL. haha! jumping like crazy and a BIT of moshing. hahaha.. moshing is the most fun thing ever man. too bad the school didn't allow it...
yep. all in all a good experience. i performed not to win, but to just perform and entertain.
one great rock show can change the world...

busy busy
wohoho haven't posted here for quite some time!
i've been really busy in school.
bcos first of all, trying to keep up with all my work. actually not really trying, but you know what i mean..
soccer training is getting intensive cos a-divisions is coming in april.
and also Hastily Assembled auditioned and got into rockafella. so there have been rehearsals. unfortunately the student council put them on days where there's also football training. so i've had to juggle them. i think coach isn't very happy that i missed some parts of training.
we had a friendly match with AJC yesterday. the match got cancelled after 10min cos of rain... we were actually leading 1-0 early on through an own goal. i missed a good chance and reko hit the post too. so we could have been 3-0 up after 10min haha.
anws, rockafella is tmr! (rockafella is an annual CJC rock concert event where all the ticket and shirt money goes to charity) our band, Hastily Assembled, is gonna be playing "only one" by yellowcard and "i'd hate to be you when people find out what this song is about" by mayday parade. i'm lead singer and lead guitarist, cheang is rhythm guitar, YC on keyboard, matthew tay on drums and edwin on bass. we haven't played at all since the auditions (which were one month ago) cos we're all so busy. me with soccer, YC and edwin with fencing, and cheang with dunno what he has lah. so the rehearsals have not been that good. due to some unforeseen circumstances such as the council not letting us play our full songs due to time-constraints and curtains closing on us while we're playing. lol. but i think we'll do fine tmr. i've got some nice crowd-rallying stuff up my sleeve(:
yeah well, it's been a really stressful and busy week. juggling soccer, rockafella, and studies. not to mention there's interclass handball tmr.. i have to play cos i'm either gonna be keeper to stop the goals or play centre to dictate the game and make killer passes. so i'm very important. haha..
normally with a week like this i would feel so dead and anxious, but a good thing happened this week that made me feel much better. God knows how much i needed that, man..
oh yeah, liverpool beat real madrid 1-0 last night too:)
don't know when i'm gonna post again, but definitely when i've got more time:)

Jersey
Cause Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know i'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, i swear
I'm just gone beyond repair
Let's write a song that we can dance to
Cause they all wanna listen
Just to know how it sounds when
I do that thing you know that i do
When i find inspiration
This is me breaking down when
Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know i'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, i swear
I'm just gone beyond repair
Let's write a song that we can sing to
And you can lead the choir
And put the hook where it hurts most
And you threw a spark that lit the candle
That set us all on fire
And sent a flame down the east coast
Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know i'm scared to death
That everything that you had said to me was just
A lie until you left
Now i'm hoping just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine, i swear
I'm just gone beyond repair
And i should have been your everything
I'm now at the end of my eternity
And i will sleep to have the darkest dreams
This just won't seem right to me I close my eyes and beg for peace
Jersey just got colder and...
Jersey just got colder and...
Jersey just got colder and...

Your Song
You say that Gainesville's got no soul
Well that sounds like a good excuse for coming home
And all these Tallahassee skylines they keep singing out a song
and know it's your song they've been singing all night long
and this gally early rooftop just keeps calling out your name to come and stay (so stay)
So stay
Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away
I'll sing you every song I know if it will make you want to stay
And then i'll say
That I missed you
And these words
They'll convince you
I poured through every song I wrote
Every line that I've cried, every note that was split with this pen
And every line in every song, they all seemed to come out wrong
Until your song
So let's sing it all night long
And this Tallahassee skyline hasn't changed
While the view from every rooftop says to stay
Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away
I'll sing you every song I know if it will make you want to stay
And then i'll say
That I missed you
And these words
They'll convince you
And I could call you baby doll all the time
And you'd whisper in my ears, you'd say i missed you boy
So sing it over again, and over again, and over again,
And I could call you baby doll all the time
And you'd whisper in my ears, you'd say i missed you boy
Now sing it over again and over again, and over again

Happy CNY
happy CNY to all of you people.
it's the same as always. go grandparents house and collect hongbaos. sit there and stone. after awhile then go into one room so nobody can see me sleep. every year the same cycle repeats itself. haha...
my scar is now just a scar. it looks ugly and cool at the same time. but i don't like it being too obvious. i rather have the type that people can only see when they look closely.
last week went to school. paid attention at times. it's so hard to focus. especially when i feel some lessons like GP are useless. we even had parent-teacher meeting, so mum went. she asked mr rajoo how i was doing. he told her the same story as last year, that there are no doubts about my ability, just that i'm still sleeping and not working hard yet. then they want me to come up with a timetable to study etc etc.. so yeah i came up with it. but i'm not gonna start on it til after tomorrow. it's just a simple 1 hour of studying everyday mon-thurs. i don't wanna start off too ambitious haha. i doubt i can follow this regime anyway.
i tried to get some work done too. but i only managed to complete my econs holiday homework. but that's only cos it was on the music industry haha. so naturally i decided to do it on rock music. chose to do it on mayday parade too, cos supposed to do on a group that is upcoming or fairly unknown. mayday parade rocks man. their songs are addictive. and the lyrics are just.. wow. later maybe i put up one of their song lyrics.
sports: liverpool have drawn both league and FA cup games 1-1 against everton at anfield. does nothing to brighten my mood. gerrard got the goal in both games. amazing how he's still playing like that. even with all the court accusations and stuff. need to start winning man. too many draws already. a few more draws and we'll fall further behind man utd in the title race. we're still level on points with them, so i guess it's good. just that they have a game in hand. but yeah, if someone had said at the start of the season that liverpool will be in this position with 16 games to go, i'd have taken it.
coach was sick for the most part of last week too. so we didn't really train properly. there were some sec4 graduates who came for a trial game on wednesday. so we played against them 11 vs 11. we beat them 9-3. i'm still wondering how we managed to let in 3 goals. i bagged 2 goals in the game. but honestly, it should have been 4 or 5. missed some clear chances when i got pushed forward to striker at the last part of the game. but i think i'm playing my attacking midfield position really well. the whole team is starting to take shape. so a couple more months of intensive training and maybe, just maybe, we might be able to have a crack at the semis come the a-divisions in april.
i'm no longer chairperson of youth comm as well. cos the new comm is like, formed. but i'll stay on a while to help the new chairperson. which will be announced on sunday at plh.
yeah well that's about all i can say for now.
here's the best of some mayday parade lyrics:
"Three Cheers for Five Years"
I swear that you don't have to go, I thought we could wait for the fireworks
I thought we could wait for the snow, to wash over Georgia and kill the hurt
I thought I could live in your arms, and spend every moment I had with you
Stay up all night with the stars, confess all the faith that I had in you (I had in you)
Too late, I'm sure, and lonely
Another night, another dream wasted on you
Just be here now, against me
You know the words, so sing along for me baby
For Heaven's sake, I know you're sorry, but you wont stop crying
This anniversary may never be the same
Inside I hope you know I'm dying, with my heart beside me, in shattered pieces that, may never be replaced
And if I died right now, you'd never be the same
"Miserable At Best"
You're all that I hoped I'd find, in every single way
And everything I could give, is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living is just taking breaths to stay
Because I know I'm good for something i just haven't found it yet, but I need it
And this will be the first time in a week that I'll talk to you and I can't speak
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep because I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone but we both know that I'm not that strong
And I miss the lips that made me fly
yup combined with the music it's great! can emo to this kinda songs man.. haha..
ok, happy CNY to everyone. let's hope yours is better than mine.
it's the same as always. go grandparents house and collect hongbaos. sit there and stone. after awhile then go into one room so nobody can see me sleep. every year the same cycle repeats itself. haha...
my scar is now just a scar. it looks ugly and cool at the same time. but i don't like it being too obvious. i rather have the type that people can only see when they look closely.
last week went to school. paid attention at times. it's so hard to focus. especially when i feel some lessons like GP are useless. we even had parent-teacher meeting, so mum went. she asked mr rajoo how i was doing. he told her the same story as last year, that there are no doubts about my ability, just that i'm still sleeping and not working hard yet. then they want me to come up with a timetable to study etc etc.. so yeah i came up with it. but i'm not gonna start on it til after tomorrow. it's just a simple 1 hour of studying everyday mon-thurs. i don't wanna start off too ambitious haha. i doubt i can follow this regime anyway.
i tried to get some work done too. but i only managed to complete my econs holiday homework. but that's only cos it was on the music industry haha. so naturally i decided to do it on rock music. chose to do it on mayday parade too, cos supposed to do on a group that is upcoming or fairly unknown. mayday parade rocks man. their songs are addictive. and the lyrics are just.. wow. later maybe i put up one of their song lyrics.

harry potter and the something something something...
wow stay at grandma's and don't use the comp for a few days then come back to see uncle alvin flood my tagboard haha.
yeah my uncle is cool!
first week of school's been ok. bcos 8 of last year's class didn't promote so this year the class is kinda more well-behaved. lol. it's abit quiet without people like justin and kenneth ong around. and no chris and steven to talk to at recess time. no louis as well so now i'm sitting with joshua in class and talking to him. dare i say it, it's kinda strange without calista's whining too haha!! last year could have 3 tables playing bridge at one time but now it's just one. so we started playing lotsa hockey in class since syam and shu feng leave their sticks in the cupboard haha. i'm actually not bad! but our backs hurt after a while cos we keep bending down.
i think sometimes i'm behaving well and paying attention in class and lectures but sometimes i'm still talking and not being focused haha. so it's good sometimes and bad sometimes. but still early days lah, i'm just warming up man.
anws i've got this huge scar on my forehead now bcos at the cj open house last friday i was tying the soccer banner to the goal-post and it caught the wind and pulled the whole goal-post down. i fell with it and hit my head against the post so it split open and bled profusely. ya, kinda stupid haha. had to go to a doctor and was supposed to get stitches but the doc said he'll patch it up for me with some special tissue glue instead of stiches. advantage: it will leave less of a scar. disadv: take longer to heal. i missed soccer training the whole of this week cos of it. it's better now and there's just a line on my forehead so the class guys keep calling me harry potter haha.
ok gotta go cos it's dinner soon.

this blog only has words
whoa today was nuts!
cos last night i watched FA cup 3rd round with dad til 3.30am so i couldn't wake up this morning for church. (good thing liverpool beat preston 2-0) then today we leaving for 8.45 service then dad said he's leaving without us if we not fast enough. so i was like half asleep and decided they go first then i go myself for PLH later.
in the end i woke up at 10.25am (PLH is at 11am) and i had to lead worship!!!
so i hurried and called the cab and arrived in church on the dot at 10.59am. nuts man.
and when i just wake up my voice is super rough, so it was hard to sing haha.
well, we got our new DGs. mine looks quite ok. then after DG they had parent-mentors meeting so we had to go lunch with our DGs but me, yiying and hannah had to take care of one junior DG each. so i brought mine to eat at the meepok stall with hannah's one.
after that came home and slept immediately haha.
oh man i realised it's one more week to school and i haven't studied AT ALL for the last 2-3 months of holidays. all my J1 things all forgotten already. gonna die. mr rajoo said first week of school come back got physics tests for the whole of last year's syllabus. and if we fail those we have to stay back after school or something. die die die. like that i'm gonna miss football training. and this week have to go back to school 3 times for football and open house. and we also have to go stay at gramma's from 6-15 jan cos mum and dad are going away. there's no way i'm gonna be able to revise all my maths, econs, physics and geog.
oh well. main thing is a-levels at the end of the year, so just have to take it easy day by day, find some way to survive just like the last 11 years of school and pray that God helps me come the end of the year just like o-levels.
man these few days i keep listening to the MCR "three cheers for sweet revenge" album lol. some songs are quite nice. but at the moment i'm addicted to some mayday parade songs. have to borrow the hoobastank album from joe and the new FOB album from weile too. haha.
ok that's all i guess. byebye all you people who read this sad blog with no links, no songs, no fancy colours, no pictures.
just words.
and i'll borrow words from all my favourite paragraphs
to write a ballet while we say the things
we hoped would mean the most to me.
but i never told you everything
i'm losing hope and fading dreams
and every single memory along the way..
but these words were never easier for me to say, or her to second guess
but i guess, that i can live without you but, without you i'll be miserable at best...
wow, how do people write these kinda songs with such solid lyrics man!!!
