well.. haven't had much time to rest after church camp.
the day we came back and the day after had to start planning for youth sunday, camp sharing, etc..
on 12june we went to toa payoh swensen's to celebrate michelle goh's birthday:) i had the fish-baked rice which is super nice, and the banana crumble (it rocks!!) then we walked quite a bit and took lotsa photos:/ not my thing, but oh well. haha. i like the phone booth one.
on 13 june (friday) went back to maris stella with crysi-z to collect o-level certs and testimonies. i think my testimony is quite good but it should be much more impressive. i'm quite disappointed with whoever wrote it haha! few more lines of good stuff wouldn't have hurt. but ok lah, it's actually not bad.
on sunday after church we went for lunch then went to plaza sing and played hide&seek cos we were super bored. haha! i went to hide in carrefour and survived:) half of the rest got caught. kinda stupid, considering how big PS is. cos they hid at lousy places like the bookstore haha!
this week stayed at home to study. i've done quite a bit for maths, some for physics, and only a bit for econs. but i'm gonna focus on econs the next few days til the paper on monday. then focus on maths again til the paper on wednesday, then focus on physics til the paper on friday. i'm not really gonna study much for chinese cos it can't really be studied. (chinese on thursday)
well, so my holiday has been the worst ever so far. haha.. worse than nov-dec hols 2006 when i had to study for retests to make sure i didn't have to drop any subject. (i didn't go for the retests in the end in a calculated move to make sure i really didn't have to drop haha!)
oh on tuesday went with dad, mum, e-sean and e-rae to novena square and we ordered the PLH shirts:) they should be delivered to church by next friday. then we ate at fish&co. the fish and chips are good! long time since i've had fish and chips haha.
on wednesday watched game6 of this year's NBA finals. boston beat lakers 131-92. O.o to clinch the series 4-2 :) wow. paul pierce, kevin garnett and ray allen were superb. and KG even cried at the post-match interview. i think it was something really special, cos it's the celtics 1st title in 22 years. and they're the most successful team in NBA franchise history with 17 titles. (lakers 14, bulls 6, san antonio 4) kinda like when liverpool won the champions league in 2005. it was really like WOW. and i have a knack of not watching the whole NBA season until the title clincher. haha. every year i just have to watch one match and that's the match that the title is decided. oh ya i was supporting the celtics cos san antonio were knocked out by the lakers, and i've never really liked the lakers anyway. even though they are quite good. now boston celtics are my 3rd favourite team after san antonio and chicago bulls haha!
then also saw that "bubble boy" was showing on some other channel so watched it. it's so funny! hahaha. i think i wanna get the CD. i think it's quite romantic too.
then went to school to study physics.
yesterday had maths tuition. i think it was quite useful. but i'm still not confident for any of my papers. (as usual)
then today just stayed at home the whole day. some people who i don't know are coming over for dinner i think.
i'm stuck at home til next friday when my exams are over. then i'll play abit. then i think i'll start studying. i just realised if i don't study hard my a-levels gonna die cos now the mid-years already like so tough, according to my maths tutor, a-levels will be 4 times as tough as this. heh. i say that i'll start studying, but it remains to be seen if i really DO study. everytime during the year have no motivation til JUST before an exam. haha.
yeah well.. that's all for now.
i think i need to update more if not the blog will be dead. i think i will update with some lyrics of songs next time just like joe. heh, don't mind if i borrow the idea dude..
wahahaha

CJC and Church Camp 2008
well i'm finally back from my camps!
CJC leadership camp was pretty good! learnt quite a bit and had lots of fun.
first day we climbed bukit timah hill which was pretty ok for me.
2nd day we had stuff like flying fox and some pole jump thing and some problem-sloving stuff.
3rd day was things like rock-climbing and abseiling and WARGH games. i won a mission for my group cos i went to hide in some think undergrowth and didn't get caught by the enemy team. i suffered tons of mosquito bites but they're gone now haha.
my group was really fun and everyone was real cooperative:)
then i had to leave early on the last day for church camp in malacca.
anws what i wanna talk more about cos it's still fresh in my memory is church camp!!!
arrived in camp kinda gong-gong cos i slept in the car on the way after my Cj camp. got into my room (216) with the twins and jon quek. at night we just had PLH orientation and got into our groups. my group was the RED group and we gave ourselves the name ELMO! hahaha. michelle goh was leader, i was assistant, then there was grace, sharon, shane, lucas, gwendolyn, ben kee, amanda ng, and tiffany. our group was pretty quiet at first i think but during the camp we got louder haha. we had birthday parties at night for lydia and kurt too lol. slept pretty late.
woke up the next morning for devotion and we went near the swimming pool to do it. i went to look at the sea and it really struck me how awesome God is to have made everything on earth:)
our group was aiming to win best skit and so we did lots of rehearsals. i mean, really alot!!! everytime we had free time we just did it and went over the play again and again. haha. in the afternoon we had beach games too. there was a treaure hunt and we had to build sandcastles. i must say i really enjoy being in a group as well as part of youth comm. we can organise the games AND play them too!! haha. the best part i get to make some new friends in my group:)
then we had demolishing of sandcastles (YOU FOOLS!) haha.
then there was poisonball which shane and lucas won for the two games we played. good on you guys!! although the guys kinda tried to eliminate all the girls first, so we apologise for that:/ i was eliminated pretty unluckily for both games i think:( one funny bounce on the sand and one when i was unsuspecting on the ground. but oh well. haha. my group's sandcastle was pretty good i think. there was a wall and everything. oh and before the people arrived the youth comm had to bury the treasure hunt stuff and when we had finished, we were body-slamming each other in the sand haha. weile and yiren were trying to tackle me and i also pulled grace and yiying into the sand haha. played guitar for the worship in the evening and my group did more rehearsals into the night. we finished abt 11plus haha.
on the 3rd day i woke up a few minutes late for devotion and then we had buzz groups and everything. my group did final rehearsals in the afternoon and then we had free time. it was the twin's birthdays so they and michelle goh followed my family to mahkota where we shopped. then we had dinner with them too although the place was kinda stupid but the food was nice at least. the person cooking the food also looked quite skillful but jon and i didnt want to eat the prawns so when nobody was looking we threw them into the dustbin thing on the stove haha!! like some game lol. then we came back at night and everyone else was rehearsing their skits i think. i was watching football in room 839 til 2am. super boring game but it's the first match i've watched in a month.
8 june: PLH FIESTA!!! i skipped my lunch cos had to prepare everything for the fiesta. the groups were all there by 2.15pm and we let them into the dark room group by group. i don't think they were really scared but all we wanted was the effect when we turned on the lights and played the funkytown music haha. youth comm did some mini-dance which was not rehearsed haha. then we got into our groups and took photos. there was the cheer competition next which our group tried not to do well for cos we wanted to win best skit haha. every group didnt really cheer well cos i think they were all preparing for the skits and forgot all abt the cheers haha. the skit competition was great!! cos our group won haha! all our hard work really paid off i think and the whole team really put in alot of teamwork and cooperation to coordinate the whole play. i think hui xian and uncle kok choo got it on video. i head hui xian is putting it up on youtube lol. we might have to do it on youth sunday too:) everyone really acted really well on the real thing and the actual performance was much better than any of the rehearsals we did. altho i must say the other groups were pretty good too.
the prizes were:
best skit - ELMO! (tio emo) (red)
best cheer - mata gang (blue)
best sandcastle- sunshine (yellow)
best photo - shut up (purple)
best costume - tigger tio diarrhoea (orange)
best team spirit - don't tell you (green)
i must say the prizes were given out more easily then i expected haha. as in, the prizes really suited the groups and i don't think any group was second place for the prize they received. due to the youth comm wanting every group to have a prize.
my group got 2nd for cheers, team spirit, and costumes. and 3rd for sandcastle too:) splendid job.
at night was Worship Xplosion!! had to play guitar. there were 14 songs in total and my fingers were really getting it bad from playing the guitar. haha. but it was worth it to see the whole PLH jumping and singing for the songs. why not it be like that for EVERY week!?:)
then after worshipX i went to room 839 to play cards with sam and eric and kurt and marie.
last day was just checking out and everything. went to have lunch and shop in the afternoon with hannah, grace, and jon quek. then slept on the way home.
what a great camp. i didn't really expect it to turn out this good and thx to all the youth comm for all the effort put in. it's been really stressful and tiring. and i can't stop now cos we still have to organise youth sunday and stuff like that. plus i have to study for my midyrs which is up in two weeks. haha. never ending. but oh well.. thank God for such a great and successful camp. and all the bonds made and everything:)
i can't really think of much else to write at the moment. lots of stuff that still needs to be done. i mean, alot!! in school, football, comm, everything! it's really never-ending:( i can't wait to get into the army, then i can just focus on that and have less stuff to do. haha. or maybe it'll be more busy then:/ oh well..
just have to leave the rest to God and just do what i can. ok, it's back to work now!

aipgfaenofjao['g,
well... the holidays have arrived... not much of a holiday actually...
tmr have to go back to school for a full day of physics..
ok but friday and saturday is free, so that's good.
then sunday go church and have youth comm meeting to finalise everything for church camp.
then next week is a whole week of camps, including church camp, then after church camp got 2 weeks to do revision for maths, econs, and physics. cos right after the hols is the H2 papers.
there's no football training until end of midyear exams so it's a good rest i guess. though considering the form i'm in, i wouldn't mind having training..
before the hols had gp and geog h1 papers.. i think i should be able to pass.. or maybe not for geog heh.
nothing much happening.. just preparing for church camp. should be fun for the PLHers. youth comm has almost finished preparing everything.
i think that's all.. not much else to say.

big boot to the face!!!
well.. got some time now since there's no football tonight. tmr night then the epl season climaxes. all matches played at 10pm and shown at the same time on different channels!!! ahh!!! i have a super lot of dilemmas!! should i watch the liverpool game? but we've got nothing else to play for this season! should i watch man u and chelsea?? title race deciders!! or should i watch the relegation dog fights??? see who survives out of reading, birmingham and fulham to live to fight another day in the best league in the world!! hmm.. i think i'll switch channels every 5minutes!! haha.. mum and dad are coming back tmr night too. nooo!! i mean, yay!! hahaha. man, we really need to fix our living room TV. i miss watching it on champions league nights. mum and dad's room is real cold in the middle of the night and i need to bring my own blanket there.
hmm... studies-wise i guess i'm still ok... don't understand what's going on half the time actually lol. ok, that's not okay heh.. mid-years are fast approaching!!! totally dead!!!! hopefully i can survive somehow, like how i've done all these years.
church camp is around the corner too!!! need to start planning everything!!! program has been pretty much decided. just need to fill in all the little details which decide the outcome of the big games! haha. read too many of rafa's interviews already.
well.. suddenly i've found myself starting three consecutive games for cjc! wow. like, totally exceeded all my aims and expectations this year. at the start of the year, it was just to get into the cca, then it became no.1 priority to get into the A-division squad. soon, sitting on the bench contented me, and my 7-min debut was like whoo!!!!! then playing the last part against sr, and then starting my first full game against mj. then due to my performance at sports day, coach said i deserved to start against anderson. we beat them 2-0. :) i could have scored early on, but pity the volley fell to my left leg instead of my right. then i started again against acsi. we lost that one 2-1.. pretty much finishing our season. i could have scored from a corner near the end of the first half, but my effort was just inches wide with the keeper beaten. think i should have thrown myself at the ball, instead of trying to touch it in with my left leg... why don't my chances fall to my right boot!!!??? :( well, that's no excuse.. the ref was totally crap lah. gave me a booking just cos i was too close to the freekick and the guy kicked it and i blocked it. i'm pretty sure i was 10yards away, dumb ref. blind mouse.. in any case it's a soft booking to give, since it was only 5min into the game. then the rest of the match i had to watch my tackles and couldn't go in hard, for fear of being sent off. cos the stupid ref gave a freekick for EVERYTHING. worse than epl refs.. now i'm suspended for our last game on monday against hwa chong.. -.- (two yellow cards accumulated means a one-match suspension) oh well... at least something good is gonna come out of that... cos... i am ironmannnn... :) 7pm at j8.. it's a crysiz... hahaha...
so now it's for me to hold on to my first team spot. have to keep playing well to ensure i become a regular starter:) it won't be that hard if i keep doing what coach says i think. yup!
and triple H is the new wwe champion!! 12-times baby!! hahaha.
IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!!

football, football, and more football!!!
ok why there are 3 footballs is cos there are 3 things about football to talk about!!
first, cjc's A-division season is virtually over. it's still mathematically possible to qualify for the semi-finals but i think mj just has to get one more point and we won't be able to catch them. we lost to serangoon jc 3-0 last friday. i got to come on as a sub for the last 20min or so, but by then we were already 2-0 down so couldn't do much. let in an unlucky first goal, and it just crumbled after that..
then on tuesday we played against mjc. we drew 1-1 with them. what a great result! just that we could have actually got a win!!:(:( it's like some fulham team drawing with arsenal lah. haha. and wow what a surprise! i actually STARTED the game!:D like wow. before the match, we were warming up and coach suddenly told me i was starting. so i was like o.O to throw me into the starting line-up in the MJC game is like o.O!!!?? MJC dude!!! best team in the country along with vjc! heh, so had to get focused. but lotsa stupid things happened. first, my glasses strap came out and i threw it to the bench to help me get it fixed. then they somehow got it fixed, so i wore it back, but when i went for the next header it broke! o.O then they somehow got it fixed again lol. good thing 2nd half nothing happened to it lol. i think we actually played as well as mj, if not better than them, so a draw was disappointing, but still admirable. i was playing centre midfield in a 5-3-2 formation. i think i more than equalled their center midfielders:) but our season is kinda over still.. haha..
2nd thing.. liverpool have been knocked out of the champions league!!! :(:( dang.. looks like risse's own goal in the first leg proved decisive. without it, we would be through to the final cos of torres' away goal. but oh well.. another thing the a-division has taught me is that football is like that- you win some, you lose some. don't matter how well you play, in the end, it's a funny game and so many unexpected things can happen. so you just have to live with it, and get on with the game..
3rd thing.. today was cjc sports day!! i had to do time-keeping for the track events cos i'm my class PE rep. didn't participate in any events this year cos i didn't go for the heats. can't remember why, probably cos i was busy with football or something. our class won interclass basketball. nico is a monster!!! that guy is yao ming in disguise or something lol. he gets EVERY rebound!! haha.
we had interclass football too. my interclass record has not been good actually. i've only ever played two games, one in pri 4 which we lost 3-0 and one in sec 2 which we lost 1-0. so i've never scored in an interclass football match before, let alone win one. but today.. the interclass hoodoo was finally broken!!:)
1st group game - 5-0. i managed to grab a hat-trick for this, before subbing out to let rahim play.
2nd group game - 6-1. got another hat-trick. then subbed out again to let rahim play. also needed to conserve energy for the upcoming matches.
semi-final - 2-2. got both goals in a topsy-turvy match which their centreback was body-slamming me the whole day. 1st half he had my number but 2nd half when we started punting more balls along the channels for me to chase then i got the better of him. scored a great volleyed equaliser before grabbing what i thought was to be the winner. but they got a last min equaliser and it went to penalties where we lost 3-1. i was supposed to be our last kicker but didnt get to take cos we lost before my kick. oh well.. disappointed.. but.. that's football.. at least i feel proud to have lost to the winning team. and kenneth ching scored at crucial times for their team in both the semifinal and final.
3rd&4th placing - 5-0. i scored 4 for this game. bringing my total tally for the tournament to 12 goals in 4 games. i counted, and it's confirmed i'm the top scorer for this year's event. too bad they don't have a golden boot award:( kenneth ching was 2nd with 10 goals. heh. but coach was watching and i think he might have been taking notice of it. i might have solved his fox-in-the-box problem lol.
so i guess today was a fun day.. disappointed not to have gone up to get a medal, but i guess i can take pride in the fact i won the non-existing golden boot award. haha. heh.. i think this is the 1st sports day since primary school which i've not gone up to take a medal. and this is the most fun sports day i've ever had. maybe cos for sports day in holy innocents' pri and maris stella we don't have interclass football.. hmm...
first, cjc's A-division season is virtually over. it's still mathematically possible to qualify for the semi-finals but i think mj just has to get one more point and we won't be able to catch them. we lost to serangoon jc 3-0 last friday. i got to come on as a sub for the last 20min or so, but by then we were already 2-0 down so couldn't do much. let in an unlucky first goal, and it just crumbled after that..

we had interclass football too. my interclass record has not been good actually. i've only ever played two games, one in pri 4 which we lost 3-0 and one in sec 2 which we lost 1-0. so i've never scored in an interclass football match before, let alone win one. but today.. the interclass hoodoo was finally broken!!:)
1st group game - 5-0. i managed to grab a hat-trick for this, before subbing out to let rahim play.
2nd group game - 6-1. got another hat-trick. then subbed out again to let rahim play. also needed to conserve energy for the upcoming matches.
semi-final - 2-2. got both goals in a topsy-turvy match which their centreback was body-slamming me the whole day. 1st half he had my number but 2nd half when we started punting more balls along the channels for me to chase then i got the better of him. scored a great volleyed equaliser before grabbing what i thought was to be the winner. but they got a last min equaliser and it went to penalties where we lost 3-1. i was supposed to be our last kicker but didnt get to take cos we lost before my kick. oh well.. disappointed.. but.. that's football.. at least i feel proud to have lost to the winning team. and kenneth ching scored at crucial times for their team in both the semifinal and final.
3rd&4th placing - 5-0. i scored 4 for this game. bringing my total tally for the tournament to 12 goals in 4 games. i counted, and it's confirmed i'm the top scorer for this year's event. too bad they don't have a golden boot award:( kenneth ching was 2nd with 10 goals. heh. but coach was watching and i think he might have been taking notice of it. i might have solved his fox-in-the-box problem lol.
so i guess today was a fun day.. disappointed not to have gone up to get a medal, but i guess i can take pride in the fact i won the non-existing golden boot award. haha. heh.. i think this is the 1st sports day since primary school which i've not gone up to take a medal. and this is the most fun sports day i've ever had. maybe cos for sports day in holy innocents' pri and maris stella we don't have interclass football.. hmm...

football stuff!
ok posting here again which is a surprise haha, considering the little time i have.
but yesterday and today stayed home cos i've been sick. hopefully will be well enough to go back to school tmr cos i needa catch up on all the missed lessons!!
liverpool drew with chelsea 1-1 too but it's only the first leg. bad news is chelsea have an away goal which means we'll have to score at stamford bridge no matter what. super unlucky. risse scored an own goal with the very last touch of the game. sigh.. but that's football.. i don't understand the 4min added on anws. and the ref was total crap. gave chelsea a foul for everything. but i'm confident that we can still go through to the final:)
we (cjc) lost to vj 1-0 too, last thursday. though coach said it was the best performance from a cj team in 4 years. we lost to an unlucky goal too. other than that i think we matched vj in terms of play. football is a cruel game..
on monday we lost to innova jc 2-0. lack of focus and too much complacency lah. but at least i got to play the last part and coach said i played well:) he blasted the rest of the team though.
so that's played 4, win 2, lose 2 so far for our A-div season. 6pts from a possible 12. our season is virtually over unless we get a win against mj and hope they slip up elsewhere.
hmm.. other than that i don't think i have much else to say..

finally
whoops looks like i haven't updated for abt 3 weeks. been really busy with school and everything else.. studies have been wack. need to balance with football too. trainings have been killer. and quite a number of them get postponed last minute cos of the bad weather as well-.- haven't been playing that well during training i think. good news is we're still 2 for 2 in the a-div, beating dunman high and millenia institute so far. the big game against vj is on thursday. been really tired out during this second term. not been able to sleep much.
well, at least there were some good things that have happened in the last 3 weeks. there was the maroon 5 concert which i went with YC. whooo real cool!!! once in a lifetime experience. we were 12 rows from the front and the music was super loud we almost went deaf haha. but worth the $185. lol.
went for the st. nicks fiesta with the twins, YC and renyi. pretty fun. just a pity renyi couldn't win a prize hahaha. and the root beer float was great!
april fools was pretty quiet. didnt do as many pranks as i did last year. though i managed to do quite a few good sms ones. the best being on mum when i told her i was going out with a girl for lunch hahaha.
last week was pretty lousy though. not one of my best weeks ever. actually it's not much but i think everything is just piling up as usual. so i'll probably endure for quite a while more til the end of the year and then i'll get emo again during nov/dec. that's been the trend for the last 2yrs haha.
oh we went to watch semi-pro too! haha. funny show. was laughing throughout. it's one of those typical nonsense will ferrell shows, so unless u have that kind of sense of humour, don't go haha. it's the kind of show like dodgeball, blades of glory, balls of fury, ya that kinda stuff lol..
oh yeah and liverpool beat arsenal and are through to the champions league semis!!:) next up is chelsea. looks like man utd are running away with the epl title too, unless chelsea can somehow stop them. any team but man u, please, i can't take it anymore.
well... what i have on my hands is football, studies, youth comm, PLH band, etc and all these already takes up all my time and energy la. physically i'm getting tired. hmm.. i'm getting along pretty well with my classmates so socially it's ok.. mentally- looking at my studies i say mentally i'm er... bleagh.. spiritually not been able to catch up on my bible reading and quiet time.. so also needs some work.. emotionally not good as well.
ah well.. just keep going cos once you stop you're dead. haha.
not much else i can think of right now..
not sure when the next update will be cos of school and everything. anws, will see how often i have time to use the computer..
peace out people. make sure you bring an umbrella with you when you go out. cos singapore is raining down on me.
