holy fuck =.=

sprained my ankle again during training today, what are the fucking chances of spraining ankles twice in two weeks?

it's like, less than two weeks ago (or so), i sprained my left ankle, then it went swollen like some egg (see past post for pic), then now sprained right ankle =.= wtfff...


BUT luckily, this time it's just a minor sprain, only the momentary pain right after i sprained my ankle nearly killed me, after that was okay already. so yeah, now it's okay already

i've decided to buy two ankle guards, one for each ankle, and wear for every single training/game =)


anyway, besides that, today had chem test. well, the chem teacher is nice, and he basically told us almost exactly what's tested, so we revised the almost exact stuff, so it was extremely easy, and i can almost get full marks bah, i guess

that's about all, and i need to play better for rugby =/

yay! just finished my bit of some group history ppt, quite sian to do

very happy today coz got new shoes =D nike sneakers, quite cool

here it is:


it's super nice right? the nike logo colour this like, this chocolate brown, this shall be my favourite shoes for some time =)

hmm, today morning was a bad morning though, was planning to go training, then tuition, then in the end didn't go for both coz was feeling like shit due to my nose =.= woke up at 6+ feeling sick and sian, so continued on sleeping until 10+, then woke up feeling damn drowsy, so missed tuition already =/ shall go for make up session tmr

and i've decided not to pon anymore rugby trainings =/

oh yes, luckily this weekend not much hw, but got test next mon, tues, wed, and the tests are maths, chem, physics respectively =/ super sian man

"school really kills personality" -quote from someone x)

that is soooo true =/

quite free today, so finally got a chance to blog =)

just filed up all my stuff, coz it's damn messy, and trying to cultivate a filing habit, otherwise it'll be like last year again, cant find anything one =/

okay, as promised from last post, here are some interesting pictures from the week x)

haha, handsome right? this would be jeremy, 15/male/single, contact me if you need his details x)

someone guess who this is x) (nope it's not me, i'm taking the pic, and i suppose i'm actually TALLER than that x) )

haha, love token =)

this is the best keychain ever man, and fish has it =)

this would be dixon

this is also dixon, note: the two pics are taken on diff days

mr ANG! math teacher, he's super IT advanced x) (see his laptop down there? he draws on it like a white board using his laptop pen, so he doesn't use the white board at all)

playing soccer?

okay, that would be it

sian have to go training tmr =/ so i'll end it here, see ya x)

okay nothing much happened today, except that i decided not to train coz marcus forgot to bring ankle guard, then my ankle still swollen, so yah, didn't train lor, wasted like 2 hrs stoning down there at the shitty field =/

anyway, i got new specs! here it is:

FRONT

SIDE

and well, here is what used to be my current pair of specs:

FRONT

SIDE

and... a nice spectacle case which came along with the new specs =)


haiyah, probably after seeing the picture you would have realised that the two pairs of specs look extremely SIMILAR to a LARGE extent, this is mainly because i DID not want to change my old pair of specs coz it was pretty new, and kinda like it.

HOWEVER, due to a certain individual of authority in SCHOOL spoke to me a couple of times regarding my WHITE COLOUR SPECS being OVERLY FLASHY, and therefore does not "PORTRAY A GOOD IMAGE OF A LEADER", so i had to change lor... haii... no choice lah, that's why my new specs is like almost the same design, and the sides are actually BLACK, and yeah, pretty nice too =) (but had to pay extra $190 to make it) =/

dun get it, if white is a FLASHY colour, they might as well make our uniform all BLACK =.=

okay that's about all, got to do my work now... super sian, had something else in mind to blog about, but going to be kinda draggy, so shall blog tmr, have nice pictures btw x)

PS: i guess i was over-reacting about my hair lah, although it's still ugly, but not really a big deal =) it's weird how something tiny can spoil my mood man, haii, must control my emotions better =)

screw RI's crappy rules, had to go for haircut coz my hair was getting a little too long, and due to the fact that i'm a prefect, so had to keep my hair short

and because of the damn bloody screwed up rules, my hair now is damn fucking ugly =.= well, also partly due to the fucked up hairdresser's problem =.=

heck lah, i dun like this kind of nerdy ugly short hair =.=

cant wait to get to RJ

wtf lah, damn sian =.=

went for tuition from 12-2, need to go buy rugby boots and running shoes, and need to finish homework

here i am sitting in front of the com stoning, feeling damn sian of everything, heck lah

i keep doing the wrong things, hurting certain people whom i do not wish to hurt, unintentionally, regretting many decisions made last time, wtf man, when can i finally get things right???

haii, shall go do work now and go get my stuff later =/

"Conquering reality"- can i really do it?

relating to the last post, my ankle has been recovering very well! =) should be attending training on monday already =)

thanks to all who helped me that day yah? (namely dixon, pei su, pranav [who kinda physically supported me back to class], eugene [who ran around getting me antiseptic], jeremy [ who desperately attempted to tie the ice bag ard my ankle with my own socks =P], and thomas who talked crap with me while i was resting ard in class =D) and anyone whom i might have missed out lah, great friends man =)

yah that's about it

and i havent done my ying yong wen yet =(

anyway, added lots of ppls on friendster the day before yesterday, those who visited my profile, then i realised many of them knew many of the people i knew while at the same time i didn't know them =/ how interesting, and this proves how tiny singapore is

nothing much happened today, except that i forgot to attend my guitar lesson at 7pm, and ponned my tuition early in the morning at 10 to visit my newly bought apartment all the way at east coast

speaking of the new house, i might be moving house soon, but on the other hand, i might not be moving as well, coz the new house is like super in demand now, so parents might want to rent it out, and we would continue to stay in jurong

the condo is called coasta de sol or something like that, the house's smaller compared to my current house, but it's much better geographically positioned such that there's a prefect sea view, and right beside east coast park (just have to go through underpass), therefore roller skating would be much much more convinient (on the other hand, ice skating would be much much more inconvinient =/)

anyway, that will have to wait, nothing has been decided, and i'm okay with staying here or there, doesn't matter, almost equally as far to school, and it's basically moving from the west end to the east end =p

hmm, i was suppose to do my ying yong wen today, but due to unforeseen laziness, i shall complete it tomorrow then, haii... got to stop being lazy =(

okay, today... has been a bad day

sprained my ankle

it's swollen

look:



ehh, maybe you cant really tell coz you'll need to say how my ankle was when it's normal =/ it's like so swollen =.=

and because of that, i didn't play in both the rugby games today, against two JCs, missed the fun man...

okay, anyway, that's about it lah, nothing else happened today, school has been like normal, other than that my math teacher smartly forgot that he's got lesson during the math period, so he came after more than half the lesson time was gone, which was to our advantage of course =)

lazy to blog, so... PICTURES! =D

okay, basically, got not much mood to blog today, because i'm getting sucky at rugby, and screwing up quite a bit =/ wtf man, sian, got to really focus on training le

anyway, nothing else to do also, so just uploaded some photos, take a look =)

quite cool eh? guess where it was taken =D (clue: near dohby ghuat =P)

a sleeping giant =P ISSAC!

ex-exclassmates outing photo (p1-p3) with me inside

now without me inside =/ (mainly due to the fact that i took this pic)

guess where again, the sister poster of my phone =D

Finished work!

yay!! finally done with my chinese book review (2200++ chinese words) and commonwealth essay (1435 words) x) all this in ONE DAY! lets just say that, it has been a SUPER sian day... =/

okay anyway, going to sleep now, tired and neck aching =( so yah, shall go sleep now, goodnight everyone!

one more thing, good news, from tomorrow onwards, i'll be wearing LONG PANTS! how cool is that x) havent gotten my preferable belt yet, shall try to get tomorrow =)

okay, going off now, bye bye.

OBS Part Two =D

okay, i was suppose to be at tuition now, but apprently i overslept then due to the rain i got lazy and so here i am sitting in front of my com and ponned my tuition =/ oh man, i feel guilty, shall find a free day to make up

anyway, as said earilier i shall continue on my OBS journey from yesterday, moving on into...

DAY 2:

just a recap, on day one we went kayaking then pitched out bashirs (lousy tents) then went to sleep, then when we woke up, it's day 2! where the "fun"'s going to begin x)

okay, so this was the plan for day 2, that we were suppose to have a sea expedition around the ENTIRE pulau ubin island, in a bloody rowboat, while our very nice instructors took their own very speedy motorboat and followed us. so early in the morning at 5.55 we woke up, then had our morning "PT", or sort of anyway, played a lot of pointless and lame but also quite interesting games to "warm up", then did some basic exercises, such as push ups, squats, and so on.

ehh, let me go into detail about this very silly game which we played, it's like, you go around play sissors paper stone with some other guy, BUT, before doing that, you'll have to go "jump jump left *clap*, jump jump right *clap*, jump jump back *clap*, and jump jump front *clap*" guess where you'll end up after those jumping? yes, back to your original position! x) okay, so you've done those preparation, now you'll finally get to do your sissors paper stone, then yay, someone wins and someone else loses, so basically, the loser will join the back of the winner, and link up by putting both his hands on that dudes shoulders, then go around finding others to sissors paper stone. so the game goes on and on, until everyone is joint up into two seperate LONG queues for some reason. then it comes it finale, the head of the two long queues will sissors paper stone, then loser queue will have to do star jumps x) and end of the game =) ehh before that, i have a small coffession to make, i was actually with the loser group, but when it was time for the star jumps, i sneaked into the winner group and slacked xp dun think anyone knows about this yet, haha x)


okay, that was a little sidetrack, going back into the main programmes of the day, after the PT, we went for breakfast, then went down to the jetty to prepare our rowboat and get ready to set off x) well, due to some unforseen circumstances, we were SUPPOSE to set off at 8 am, however it was delayed until about 9+ until we finally get to move off into the water. the delays were mainly caused by some problems with fixing the raddle, coz the thing doesnt fit into the knot, and also that the rowboats were unprepared to set off when we got there, so yeah. oh yah, and before i forget, we suffered i think three casualties already, correct me if i'm wrong, lawis got stung by a USC (unknown swimming creature), then benjamin not sure what was wrong with him =/ and lastly yanwei got smacked in between the eyes by a paddle the day before when we were kayaking. wait wait, and one more, chuanhong (fish), had diahorea, and skipped the thing too. so that means, we were man down to 12 instead of 16, and by right, you need at least 7 people in the rowboat for it to function probably, coz 6 man rowing, and one guy at the raddle to steer the boat in the correct direction. so unfourtunately, we set off with one guy less, therefore, for a long long time in the start we were last all the way =/

so we rowed and rowed nonstop, then due to our short of manpower, we lagged a lot. so eugeen (who now became my good friend) joined our boat coz we were kinda slow and delayed everyone down (coz we have to move in together), and from there, our speed varied a lot. for about 50% of the time, we were last place, 30% of the time we were in the middle range, and actually for 20% of the time, we were leading the entire fleet of rowboats x) why? it's due to the fact that, during the 50% of the time, most of us were still trying to figure out how to row efficiently, OR we were too tired then everyone's resting, OR i was on the raddle so wasnt powering the rowboat, OR this guy called Dat was sleeping (cant blame him lah, it had really been a tiring time, the cool part was that, he was still doing the rowing while he was sleeping!", OR there was less than 6 people rowing together (some were resting due to the tiredness), so yeah, we were last. then the times when we were in the middle was mainly due to that we maintained our usual pace, but another one or two boats were slacking/resting, and therefore they were behind us. then the glorious moments when we were leading was mainly due to the united effort of all six of us rowing at the same beat, and going all out, that was when our boat was really really fast =)

okay, that's mostly about us, now lets talk about the weather. IT WAS FREAKING POURING more than half of the time, the other half was just raining =/ so yeah, all of us got wet, the worse part was that our hands all got winkled, and it was indeed HARD to row that way, painful man...

now about the food, the rations were seperated into two portion to be carried in two plastic bags, coz we had to settle our own lunch, dinner and breakfast for the next day, so we had one plastic bag in our boat, and the other was in dixon's boat, who was the second boat from our watch (and amazingly, their boat was first 50% of the time, even though they had only 6 people throughout, must be due to dixon's brute strength, heard that he rowed two paddles at the same time x) ) okay now back to the food, basically, there was some screwed up miscommunication, whatever was on our boat, was meant for breakfast the next day, then OUR lunch was on dixon's boat, and worst of all, dixon boat was first when we were last, so can imagine how we starved... =( anyway, due to the unbearable amount of hunger, we ate a tiny portion of our breakfast (one piece of bread each), then we screamed at dixon's boat to give us lunch, so in the end things worked out and we managed and get our lunch, which was oreo and some fruit bar, and you know what, at that point of time, the oreo tasted like the best thing on earth x)


so basically after lunch, we rowed on and on, it's quite boring actually, due to the repeatitive action of rowing again and again. so anyway, another interesting thing that happened was that, due to the lack on toliets in a rowboat, all of us who needed to pee peed in the sea. this was how it works, once in a while there'll be people who needed to do that, so we stopped the boat, then he jumps into the water, then he release it in the open ocean (so now you know why the ocean taste salty? x) just joking xp ), then the hard part come when he needs to get up. due to the long hours of rowing, our arms were like totally powerless, so it was almost impossible for us to get up by ourselves (eugeen did it once in the earlier period, but after that we had to pull him up the second time, i needed to pulled up twice xp ), then hongbo got stuck and no one in his boat could pull him up xp so our boat went our and two boats assissted and finally, got him up x)


that was about all in the rowboat, we finally reached land, in the process that was a part where we managed to get dixon's boat turned in a circle with their back (sturn or something) of the boat to our front of th eboat, ehh, shall not go into the details xp then we finally arrived at camp two, it was about 4 or 5, cant really remember, basically it's a more than 8 hrs rowing journey, quite fun lah when you think about it now x)

so we arrived at campsite, what's next? dinner! and the fun (or not fun) part was that, we had too cook ourselves xp well, luckily for our watch, somehow we've got instand noodles, while the other watch got rice =/ so yeah, instant noodles were much easier to cook, so we set up a stove with rocks and lighted up fire staters then put solid fuel tablets, and finally, we cooked our food! me together with a few other guys were among the first to get our food, it was actually not bad, just tasted like normal instand noodle, then ate it together with canned food (there was curry chicken and mushroom), basically it was quite a nice and filling dinner lah, quite suprising to me though, at first thought it's going to be some burnt crap =/

okay basically after that we showered in this crappy place which can somewhat be considered as a toliet/shower room that was smelly coz someone puked inside... so yeah, then we set up our bashirs (tents), and again i think it's jeremy and the scouts who did most of the work, coz the rest cant really do it =/ so yeah, lots of thanks to them x) however it rained again in the middle of the night, and we moved into shelter once again =/ this time it was at like 2 am and our sleep was interrupted as usual... then we finally slept and it moves on into day 3 =)


okay that's the end of the day 2 recount, now let me state some interesting facts.

firstly : THOMAS CHUACH SNORES! he really does snore man! that's something you'll never know unless you sleep beside him, and i didn't know that even though i knew him for two years already, until this obs (see! the importance of obs, it really makes you know each other)

secondly: when i told thomas he snores he denied it, coz i first realised he snored on day 1 night, then i told him on day 2, then he denied it, until he snored again on day 2 night, AND dixon was there too, we slept in the position like : thomas, me, dixon, so dixon was my witness that thomas snored, then both of us told him on day 3, he was shocked =)

thirdly: it's a bad idea to sleep inbetween thomas and dixon, you'll hear an orcheastra, one snore on the left followed by the other louder one on the right, then got difference rythm and beat, which can keep you wild awake when you want to sleep ^^ (ehh, no offence to be both of you, it was quite funny lah xp)

fourthly: once you row a rowboat at a certain speed, try not to stop, coz once you do, it's more harder to start again, on the other hand it's much easier to just keep rowing at a constant pace, basically the faster you row the easier it is to row =) (tips for next batch of obs ppls, if you're rowing boat of course)


that's about all bah, to end it off, i shall put another significant quote which i've remembered the most during the obs trip


"thank you for applause" -phil ho =D

heyy, i just got back from a club party not so long ago, it was super fun x) it was a combined birthday party of three sec 4 girls, chen hoon, audrey and another girl =) we danced quite a bit on the disco ground, it was somewhat exactly like a disco lah, but SADLY due to the fact that we were underage, there was no drinking of alcohol allowed, so we basically drank sprite coke and orange juice =/ anyway, most people there were sec 4 and above, got quite a few sec 4 ri guys too, had quite a lot of fun, so yah x) next time i'm so going clubbing =D


okay, as you can see, the time now is kinda later =/ so i shall delay the detailed recount posting of my exciting OBS experience to tomorrow, just hang around here and take a look, it'll just keep getting fun-er x)

oh yes, and i'm inspired to learn hiphop/ break dancing again ( the last time was when i watched step up, which was a great movie, go watch it if you havent done so already x) )

will go going to sleep now, goodnight! =)

haii, tmr still have to do my chi bk review (holiday hw) and common wealth essay =/ wish me good luck =(

New birth to the same blog in the new year =)

BOO! it has indeed been a LONG LONG LONG LONG time since i last posted, mainly due to my all extremely laziness during the extremely short holiday, which i went out lots, and failed to complete my holiday homework (which i still havent complete btw, need to finish by monday!)

okay, so here i am, going to restart blogging again, hopefully i can blog once a day, or once two days from now on, and i shall now try to be less lazy.

now lets go into the happening things recently (in my life), well, the most outstanding one would be the OBS trip to pulau ubin, which ended just yesterday, a lot of things happened, so i shall do a DETAILED recount of almost everything =)

DAY 1:
We arrived at pulau ubin, on a fishing boat look-alike kind of boat, but it was sheltered lah, so it wasnt that bad, we reached the place, then the first thing that we saw was this ship, and the first image that ship protrayed to some of us was the "black pearl" in pirates of the carribean, which was quite cool x)

then after we arrived, there was this guy, who self-introed to us as the course director, and apprently he thinks that he should ehh, ensure that his power is recognised, so he made sure that we understood that if there are any displinary problems, we'll go down to his office "to have a small talk over a cup of coffee". well yah, that's basically all i remembered from whatever he said. we met our instructor after that, not sure how to spell her name, it's pronounced as deth-fin-nee, so yah, basically we did all the activities for the past 5 days with her lah.

then that we had lunched, and finished unpacking and got ready and all those stuff, we went down to this place with "one for all, all for one" on the wall, and waited for the other half of the class ( our class is split into two groups called watches, and named as (lim) bo seng and kurt (dunno what/who) ), this was very important, as that was like the only time which we waited for kurt, as all other times they were much faster (more organised, coz they've got scouts like jeremy and wee kian, while our group got people like me, dixon, thomas), so yah, after half an hour or so of waiting, they finally arrived, so we got together as a class, and had some photo taking (seperate watches, show you all the photos next time), and after that, was out FIRST real activity of the day, kayaking.

deth-fin-nee taught us how to row the kayak, and then we splited into threes and twos, those in threes got this thing called the "tri-yak", which was meant for three people, and due to the fact that i'm not really a strong swimmer by nature, so i teamed with dixon and junlin and took a tri-yak, as it was not as easily capsized as the one for two people, and easier to flip back if capsized. and with that, we set off =)

the kayaking was probably one of the most fun activities for the entire obs journey, we kayaked for quite a long distance, to this small island called crab island, and kayaked to another place (i forgot where) then kayaked back to camp 1. at first our kayak went at quite a fast speed (first or second), coz me and dixon both chionged with brute strength, UNTIL about the middle part we got tired and started resting, then our kayak slowed down to like among the last few, then junlin kept complaining that the two of us were slacking xp but no choice lah, i got backache, then damn pain so needed to stretch =/ then cannot row le lor =X

okay so that was fun, after that we had dinner, and showered, or showered and had dinner, forgot =/ anyway, the dinner that night was at the cookhouse (canteen), and it was such that the dishes was rationed, while we can take as much rice as we wanted. so everyone took LOTS of rice as we were all starving to the point of almost death, so the food ended up to be quite dry =/. i had to eat it with erm, lots of soup and drinks =P but overall the food wasnt that bad lah =)

then come the end of the day, when we needed to sleep. but where? sadly (or actually quite interastingly) it wasnt the bunks that we're staying in, we had to set up our own bashirs (self made tents, not sure if it's spelt like that) with two poles and nylon strings and peds and this pasar malam-like sheet, and ground sheets. LUCKILY we had scouts like jeremy and wee kian and yanwei to guide us to set it up (jeremy did mainly all the work coz the rest of us had no idea of how to tie the knots, so yah, he set up almost everything from that day on =X) so finally, we got it up, somehow =) and then we went to sleep, unluckily for us, we barely had an hour of sleep, it started pouring at 12+ to 1, and due to the incapablilty of handling such an incident, all of us ran over to the shelter as our bashirs were all flooded =/ and i fell asleep on this chair and table which you can find in a school canteen that kind, and after an hour or so an instrcutor came and woke all of us up, and said we cant sleep here then sent us back to our bunks =/ so lucky us, we got to sleep under the roof for about 3 hrs or so =) then come the next day =D


so that's about it for day 1, at that day i thought it was quite tiring already, but the worst has yet to come xp due to some time constrains right about now, i shall continue this OBS recount in the next post, most fun (and horrible) things coming up later or tomorrow x) so yah, will talk about day 2 soon x)

okay, gtg now, will blog again real soon, start tagging people! x)

to end off this post, i shall add in a quote which i learn from this OBS.

"Nothing is impossible, but it may be TOUGH xp" (suppose to be funny if you heard it in our context during obs" x) )
