By now the entire country must have known about the dragonboat incident which took away the lives of 5 young and decent men, Reuben Kee ,23 ;Jeremy Goh, 24; Stephen Low, 31; Poh Boon San, 27 and Chee Wei Cheng, 20.
You know, many young lives perished this year. There was that young RJC sportsman, a few army soldiers, and now this. They all didnt choose to die. They were just doing what they love, they were just living their lives. No one is offended, no harm is done to anything or anyone. But they had to go. Sometimes i really wonder what did they do wrong. Young lives, full of hope, full of promise...
You know, some people say suicide is cowardly. But for me, im too timid to die. Dont everyone ever dream of what big things they want to do in the future? Or about finding their eternal partner? Having a fun time with their children? Changing the society for the better? Great things, affecting ourselves or others... We all dream right? There's hope, there's possibility. But once you die, they're gone. Sometimes the hope is passed on, sometimes its not.
Sometimes i really wonder if death is that much uncertain. Wasnt there just an article about the random rates of young men dying on the rise this year? Those guys died without a reason. I too wonder what did they do wrong. And i wonder when will it be my turn. Each time another young folk die, it really saddens me. I dont know if my friends and love ones will cry for me, but i dont want to imagine myself crying for them, cause i'll probably die of dehydration.
People die all the time. It reminds me that i have to keep living my life to the fullest. At least the RJC sportsman created a new personal best, at least the dragonboaters just ended a race. They were all doing something they like. But somewhere, in some things, i bet they have not done what they wanted to.
Once you die, you're gone. You dont come back.
Goodbye guys. May your dreams and hopes live on, in honour of you.

Metal Gear Solid 3
Call me slow, but i just got myself a Playstation 2. Its not really worth it to buy Playstation 3 yet. Or rather i cant afford it.
My very first game is Metal Gear Solid 3. I found it a rather touching game. Okay, maybe only the ending. But its worth mentioning anyways. Spoilers ahead. Though i dont think anyone who wants to play it has not played it yet.
Metal Gear Solid revolves around a man called Solid Snake, a soldier who was cloned from a lengendary soldier by the name of The Big Boss. He's mostly involved in the elimination of a modern nuclear weapon called Metal Gear. To remove the threats of nuclear warfare, he resigns himself to the fate of destroying Metal Gears produced all over the world at the end of the first game in the series after knowing that he is injected with a virus which can kill him at a random instant. In the first game, he was called out of retirement to eliminate a metal gear. In the second game, during the first part, Solid Snake was to eliminate another metal gear. During the second part, a new main character with the codename Raiden was introduced but Solid Snake still did appear in that part of the game.
In the 3rd of the series, the game is about a man with the codename Naked Snake. It was very similar to Solid Snake so i thought it was about his past. During the mission, he was aided by a woman called The Boss (not Big Boss), his mentor and a legendary soldier too. Halfway through the mission, she revealed that she has deflected to the enemy side (betrayed her own country to cross over). It came as a shock and Naked Snake was given a new mission.
To eliminate The Boss.
After a tough fight, Naked Snake was forced to kill her. Then the truth was revealed. The Boss did not deflect to the enemy side. She was on a secret mission to spy on her country's enemy. However something screwed up and her country was blamed for invading international territory. In order to settle it in peace, The Boss must die. The truth must not be revealed. And she must die by the hands of someone from her own country. Naked Snake knew of the truth only after killing her, and he was awarded the title of the Big Boss for surpassing her. In other words, Metal Gear Solid 3 is about the Big Boss' past. For some reasons, i found the ending really touching. You should watch the video to the end.
Here a modified video about MGS3. It was an original scene from the game but the creators changed it slightly. It really makes me laugh like crazy. The woman you see in the video below is of course The Boss. And the man is the Big Boss. Its quite funny, you should watch it even if you didnt read my game description above.

For a job
My sister's friend works at Recruit Express. Since my sister knows that im looking for a job, i kinda got pressured to go. It was located at Ngee Ann City Tower A level 12. Call me a frog in a well, but i've never entered the tower before. What i saw amazed me. The first lift i approached says what is shown the photo below.
It clearly says that the lift goes to level 1,2,4,5,6,7 and 18-26. So i stood there looking stupid, wondering if i should take to level 7 and climb up or level 18 and climb down. Then someone walked into the lift and i felt that i'll just go with the flow. Upon alighting at level 7, i felt more stupid than ever. Thats when i realise that about 4 other lifts (there are about 8 lifts there i think), serve level 1-18 as seen below.
So i finally got to the office and waited for my sister's friend. He wasnt there when i reached so his colleague asked me to fill up the application form first. It felt stupid filling up the form too cause it was asking for previous-jobs info. As my previous post has stated, i have NIL experience, thus the form only took me a while to fill in. After waiting for a while, my sister's friend came out. He was very friendly, shook my hand, and mentioned that i look like my sister. Thanks ah, i know that long ago. Im not flattered. Then he said there will be an interview and i went "HUH?". -_- I wasnt prepared for an interview, though he says its just to know me better. I guess it wouldnt be that tough, and it wasnt. And guess what? In the middle of the interview, i saw a head popping into the corridor, and that guy waved at me (glass door). Its Jin Ken! My primary school classmate. We used to be great friends. We didnt get a chance to chat though. Its really a pity.
Anyhow, my sister's friend said he will keep a lookout for the type of jobs i want. But i'm really picky you know. Im enlisting on 11jan, and im not willing to sacrifice my whole holiday to work. So its kind of tough. But oh well, i'll do some temporarily jobs too while i wait.
Check out the Christmas tree in Ngee Ann City. Should have taken a shot from the front.

The As thus far (IV)
The As thus far episode 4, or rather The Ending of The As.
The last paper is over. Physics Paper 1 on tuesday testing MCQs was ok. I felt that it was harder than usual A level standards but it was around Raffles JC prelims 2007. There were a few weird questions, such as question number 1 "What is a reasonable estimate of the volume of a wooden rule found in the lab?" and options given were 1.5 15 150 and 1500, all in cubic cm. Another question was asking for the frequency of violet light i think. But gosh, i cant even remember the wavelength of violet light.
Other than these, most were fine. But it still gives me a feeling that my A is flying away. But you know what? A levels 2007 is finally over. Thanks for tuning in.
Now for the next episode of my life...

First Job
Finally after 18 years of free loading, i went for the first job in my life, feeling pretty excited. As i am enlisting soon, i reckon any proper part time job will not employ me, thus i went for the temporary jobs. And my very first one is flyer distribution in Bukit Batok. Sounds easy, but its door to door. If it still sounds easy, for your information, its 2000 pieces per assignment, no less to get paid. That translate to about 20 blocks of apartments in Singapore. If it still sounds easy, read on.
On friday night, i recieved the reply mail, asking if i can make it for the assignment on Saturday. I told my friends about it and two friends agree that its an easy task. I even said "TWO HOURS AND A HALF SHOULD BE ENOUGH" and one agreed. How naive.
I went for my very first job with a little excitement, feeling a little nervous. But my boss was late (-_-) so the wait removed all those feelings. Anyhow, after the admin matters, i quickly set off for my blocks at 12.11pm. Suddenly i realised that all the blocks i'm assigned in Bukit Batok are old towns. Guess what? They're all built with weird structures, and for every floor, the corridors are blocked off. Simply put, every floors, the corridors does not link from one end to the other. The corridors only linked for every 5 floors. So what does that mean? That means, that i have to do double trips for every single block, unless i prefer to keep climbing down and up which obviously is a lousier choice as i will be doing work against the Earth's gravity. At first, i only walked briskly. Then i realise that i took too long for one block and increased my pace. Then i realise that by the time i reached the third block, i'm already drenched in sweat. Then i realise, that not eating before hand was a bad, bad idea.
When i finished the 4th block, i took a small break. I went to buy plasters for the blisters on my toes and i called my friend Yinning. For what? Lol, to grumble. Thats because i spoke to her the night before. So after complaining how tough the job was, i carried on. Most of the doors were closed. But sometimes there were a few that were opened. And once in a while, i would see another teenager just like me, lying on the sofa being a crouch potato. Then i recall how i always grumble to my younger brother about having nothing to do at home. At that point in time, i really wished that i had nothing to do. I rather that, man.
After my 8th block, i smsed my friend Leonard, to grumble too. On and off i recieve SMSes. A few from Danny and Gerald. When i reach my 9th or 10th block, i was already at the point that my legs are so numb from the pain that i just CHIONG the block, and CHIONG back down to rest, before i CHIONG up again.
The final moments of my first job came soon at my 13th block. It has 25 levels and by the time i reach the 20th floor, my knee abrasion came back. I couldnt climb the stairs anymore. I told myself that i had to do it (cause of the pay). And i struggled for the next 20 levels. I cant believe i managed to do it. But i strongly believed that anymore, i will die. So i SMSed my boss and tell him that im sorry that i cant continue. My boss was a nice guy and tried to help me ask his employer if he can give me half the pay. Today i received his SMS saying that it was approved. With graditude, seriously.
Guess what time was it at that moment when i gave up? It was 8.30pm. Remember what time i did start? 12.10pm. When i finished 1000 flyers, it was already 5pm. 2 hours 30mins? In the end i took double of what i claimed i will take.
Lessons learnt:
1) Do not use a sling bag to contain the flyers. Your shoulder will ache like crazy like mine now.
2) Wear shorts. No jeans, no long pants.
3) Wear a more comfortable top which absorbs sweat well.
4) Eat well before the assignment, and drink plenty of water.
5) New towns only, no more old towns for me.
6) Never ever overestimate yourself or underestimate the job.
Currently, i have a knee abrasion, 2 aching shoulders, 2 swelling thighs, and 2 blistering toes. And i smell like Tiger Balm now. I guess it was a good experience. But maybe it wasnt worth it for all my injuries now.

The As thus far (III)
This week is inevitably the toughest period of time in my A Levels 2007. 5 papers took place this week. Physics Paper 2 on Monday, Chemistry Paper 2 and Economics Paper 2 on Tuesday, Economics Paper 1 on Wednesday and Chemistry Paper 1 on Friday. I would say this was a tough week and it didnt go as well as the previous papers. Reasons are stated below.
Physics Paper 2 for structure questions. It was, rather disastrous. When i flip open the booklet, the first question was about measurements. It was very easy, so i got thrilled, very high and excited. I thought "this is going to be easy and a enjoyable paper". But alas, good things must come to an end, after finishing the first question with joy and happiness, i flipped over to the second page. ELECTRIC FIELD. So i went "$%^&* electric field again??? Leonard is right, i got raped by Cambridge." So like, electric field came out in Paper 3 already, by right it wasnt expected to come out again. One full question somemore. So i told my friend Leonard "aiya no way it will come out" so he said be careful Cambridge rapes me. And there i was, getting raped by Cambridge in the middle of the paper. It was ok though, as was other questions. But there were really weird, such as "explain in terms of energy how the above nuclear reaction takes place" and the above nuclear reaction is just a normal reaction. Weird.
Then came the toughest day in my whole life, the only double paper day. Chemistry Paper 2 for short structured questions was ok. I finished everything before the time ended and had time to check too. But too bad, i couldnt remember what was diluted nitric acid used for. And i did 2 organic question parts wrongly. So thats 4 marks. Tsk tsk.
Then it was Economics Paper 2 for essay questions. What i really wanted to come out didnt. Question 1 was about demand and supply. It stated changes in taxes and income. The first part asked how tax changes will affect demand for different goods. The 2nd part asked how taxes and income changes will affect demand for different goods. I felt both were too similar, so i didnt do this question. Question 2 was about theory of price determination and firm behavior. 1st part asked how a monopoly determines its price and 2nd part ask if firms always set its price at profit maximising level. I was lucky to have studied this topic even though it wasnt popular. Question 3 was about market failure, requiring examples about externalities and if the government should make changes to current policy. Question 4 was about Keynesian Theory and Role of Government. Best question ever. Wrote 5 pages. Question 5 was about Balance of Payments, not my kind of thing. Question 6 is the rock-est question ever. "Discuss if Singapore is the best country to benefit from globalisation [25m]". Anyone who tried it is asking for trouble. In the end, this paper was pretty ok. But i wouldnt have high hopes at all.
Economics Paper 1 for case study questions is not very ok. What i spotted all didnt come out. I had hoped simple demand and supply question about oil prices, labour market or property market will come out for microeconomics and Forex will come out for marcoeconomics. None of it came out. Instead, it was about National Income Statistics which i barely studied for and Oligopoly. The oligopoly one was ok. Wrote a decent amount for it. But NY satistics was bad. Didnt know how to do the last part. :x
Overall it was a bad paper.
Chemistry Paper 1 for multiple choice questions was so so. But could have been better. I didnt do fast enough and couldnt do 1 question. A lot of people felt that it was more difficult than Paper 2 and 3. I felt that was about the same but it was more tedius. Tsk tsk...
1 last paper to go. Physics Paper 1 on tuesday. Then i can say goodbye to education for 2 years. Anyone getting tutor? I'm on it, meaning i want to be your tutor. Lol. Also selling TYS and guide books at low prices.

The As thus far (II)
New look on my blog. Its incomplete, and i may need professional help. No matter what i do, the right column just doesnt fit in properly. The main blog posts column refuse to shrink too. Anyways, this is a skin i made myself, so no complains. The background is taken from Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. The left column consist of my profile, some links, friends' links, my tagboard, a music playing currenly playing 单向的爱 by 阿杜, my stats counter, my archives and google Adsense (coming soon). The right column consist of pictures of my favourite virtual characters as you can see. I'll be blogging on them soon. I've already posted stuff on Hitsugaya and Kenichi. The right column also have links to my previous posts, and im looking into categorising them into tags. Its suppose to be snowing, but i wonder why the animation which showed up in the preview didnt show up now.
Anyhow, this week, there were only 2 papers. Monday was Chemistry Paper 3 and Tuesday was Mathematics Paper 2. Guess what? Maths over, i wont need to touch it for a long long time. Thats a relief.
Chemistry Essay was ok. Its easy, but i'll admit that i didnt manage to finish everything, just as Mr Lim had predicted. All my classmates seemed to finish everything and checked everything through thoroughly. But on the bright side, at least i knew how to do most of the stuff. Perhaps if i had realise question 5 was proteins sooner, i would have focused on answering the questions instead of re-reading them to see which i should choose to do. I missed out a 5 mark part! Argh. So heartpain. Guess i'll just have to make it up in Paper 2 next Tuesday.
Maths 2 was easy. Truthfully, i felt it was harder than Paper 1, but all others commented otherwise. For the first time, i felt that A Levels finally had some challenge, but later i found that i knew how to do them afterall. I misread the Correlation question and ended up plotting the $%^& graph on paper. That took me a painful lot of time. I only managed to finish the paper in 2 hours plus. My classmates did the paper twice. Thats much more pro than me. Oh well. At least all the questions were easy. But i may have made a careless mistake in the integration question. 2 marks. Tsk tsk, but nevermind, Maths is over and it wont come back again. Not for another 2 years plus.
Next week is tough. Monday afternoon i have Physics Paper 2. Tuesday morning is Chemistry Paper 2 and afternoon is Economics Paper 2 (Essay). Wednesday is Economics Paper 1. How i wish Econs essay was on wednesday instead. Things will be fine after next week. Friday is Chemistry Paper 1 (MCQ). Its gonna end soon. Last lap, chiong ah!

The As thus far
4 papers have been conquered, namely Tuesday's Physics Paper 3 (Essay), Wednesday's General Paper 1 (Essay) and Paper 2 (Compre) and Friday's Mathematics Paper 1.
Physics essay was ok. If there was a word to describe it, its "weird". Yup, weird. Very very weird. Its easy in a way, nothing crazy like those in the prelims. But its weird. You know? Weird. So weird i thought i flunked it at first. But later i checked with my intelligent friend found that most of the stuff i did was fine. Unfortunately Electricity had something against me and i couldnt recall how to do simple Electricity questions. Tsk tsk. Quantum was nice to do. The best part was in section B where you get to choose 2 questions from 3, one was about Thermal Physics, my worst and most hated topic. If you ask me anything about thermaldynamics, i can tell you that I DoN't KnOw (more or less).
GP essay was good and bad. Bad because when i looked at the paper, i strike out question 1, question 2, question 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12. And out of the 3 questions i didnt strike out, i lacked content for almost all 3 of them.
"Advertising is entertaining but rarely affects your choice, is this applicable to you?"
"Developing countries should not focus on tourism when they cannot even feed the poor in their country. Comment."
"Protecting the environment is impossible as countries consume more energy in order to progress. Discuss."
Economics wasnt really my cup of tea. Globalisation coupled with tourism seems to be too narrow. So i chose question 10, environment question in the end. Trust me, i was shaking from the start till the end. The good thing, i didnt really find this question difficult. But i was wondering if i should focus more on technology or environment but decided to give both in the end. I guess i linked the content to the question quite sufficiently, i hope.
GP compre was good too. It wasnt easy but at least its not difficult. And best of all, at least i could understand the passage just by reading it once. But you know, this is the first time i've seen an actual A lvls GP compre which contained a passage written by someone with a Chinese name. Maybe thats why the passage wasnt so chim. One interesting fact, "tillitating" means "aroused erotically". Guess what i wrote?
Entertaining. *Laughs*
Didnt have time to complete the AQ but i never had high hopes for that in the first place.
Maths Paper 1 was easy. Too easy. So easy that it freaked me out. Im sure many of my fellow TJCians asked themselves this question many times during the paper "Is this a trick question?". 5 marks for a 2 step working, 2 marks for a simple 1 step working. This is too much for my heart. Of course, there were parts i didnt know how to do either. But those were insignificant. I just hoped i didnt make too many careless mistakes.
a typical Mathematical Induction question. my favourite type of maths question unless its coupled with Sigma or Recurrence Sequence (conjectures)
Physics essay was ok. If there was a word to describe it, its "weird". Yup, weird. Very very weird. Its easy in a way, nothing crazy like those in the prelims. But its weird. You know? Weird. So weird i thought i flunked it at first. But later i checked with my intelligent friend found that most of the stuff i did was fine. Unfortunately Electricity had something against me and i couldnt recall how to do simple Electricity questions. Tsk tsk. Quantum was nice to do. The best part was in section B where you get to choose 2 questions from 3, one was about Thermal Physics, my worst and most hated topic. If you ask me anything about thermaldynamics, i can tell you that I DoN't KnOw (more or less).
GP essay was good and bad. Bad because when i looked at the paper, i strike out question 1, question 2, question 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12. And out of the 3 questions i didnt strike out, i lacked content for almost all 3 of them.
"Advertising is entertaining but rarely affects your choice, is this applicable to you?"
"Developing countries should not focus on tourism when they cannot even feed the poor in their country. Comment."
"Protecting the environment is impossible as countries consume more energy in order to progress. Discuss."
Economics wasnt really my cup of tea. Globalisation coupled with tourism seems to be too narrow. So i chose question 10, environment question in the end. Trust me, i was shaking from the start till the end. The good thing, i didnt really find this question difficult. But i was wondering if i should focus more on technology or environment but decided to give both in the end. I guess i linked the content to the question quite sufficiently, i hope.
GP compre was good too. It wasnt easy but at least its not difficult. And best of all, at least i could understand the passage just by reading it once. But you know, this is the first time i've seen an actual A lvls GP compre which contained a passage written by someone with a Chinese name. Maybe thats why the passage wasnt so chim.

Farewell Concert + Star Awards 2007
Today was the last official day of school where we are to report by 7.25. Sure its not the last day which we wear the uniform, but there were a lot of sentimental feelings that go with this special day. Anyhow that's not the bulk of this post. The sentimental part can come later, hopefully with some photos...
The first part of the day was of course morning assembly at the Temasek Square. (Actually its interesting to note that most JC has many venues to names that are amusing or unique such as photocopying shop Zap! and the squash courts are called Leadership Centre, though most special TJ venues are under utilised like Innospace) Most year 2s arent paying attention, not that anyone will care on the last day of school.
Next we went for a talk by Mrs Loke and Mr Tong. Mrs Loke touched on the core values of TJ and the compass points etc etc. I wouldn't be surprised if most people weren't listening. But i noted 2 points from her talk. Firstly she came into TJ at the same time as my batch. So we're her first graduating batch fresh with her. Secondly, i like her most emphasized quote. This quote was by Helen Keller, whom was my most similar character during my secondary school personality report. The quote goes "I am only one, but i am still one. I cannot do everything, but i can still do something. I will not refuse to do that something i can do". I graduated from Xinmin strongly believing in this quote. (then again i have quite forgotten it until Mrs Loke mentioned it today, oops)
Mr Tong's talk was more enriching, i didnt know some of the examination procedure he mentioned such as what if floods occur and we cannot proceed to TJ for examination. The one quote i will surely remember from TJ was given by Mr Tong during 1st Orientation 2006. He was giving a quiz to gain points for the orientation competition and so ask us "which 10 two-lettered words are the most important words in English?" Guess?
If it is to be, it is up to me.
I kinda like this quote. Then he showed us this video http://www.212movie.com/ If you're taking an examination or something, you should watch it. Its quite nice.
Next was Civics lesson. Mr Lim KK gave us some encouragement and gifts for those who improved a lot. Then Mrs Beetsma came in to give us our sample SGC and results slip. I shall refrain from commenting on my results though. Then Mrs Beetsma said she'll treat us to a drink. She does that often especially if we did well for examinations as a class (which is like, everytime?)
When we reached the canteen, we saw a black bus driving into the canteen. Here's the fun part. It says Star Search 2007 on the bus, but later Sue Chee told me its Star Awards. Oops, i didnt know any celebrity, but not that i cared. The interesting fact is how TJCians reacted when they saw the bus. They went crazy, first girls, then the guys too, and the manager had to keep telling us to keep quiet and stop taking photos if not they'll have to leave immediately. Now thats some cocky attitude. Like what my friend said, when gals meet their idols, they go wild. Really wild. Its only natural for them to be like that, as much as i would like to declare TJ an institution of distinction but its human nature you know? Anyhow here are some photos.

Guess what? The door of the bus got stuck! They can't come out. TJCians looking at them as if they are in an enclosure...
Basically i couldnt take a shot of the celebrities' faces cause too many people were crowding near the bus. Look carefully at the last photo, when the bus driver opened the windows, TJCians actually put the camera INTO the bus to take some photos. Incredible, this thing call fan power. There was also one guy who sat on another guy's back in the midst of the chaos. I'm sure many people were late for class and the farewell concert.
Then was the farewell concert. It was cool. Not bad. Touching to see Mrs Tag sobbing away. Just don't know if its real or she's having a flu. The maths conditions stuff are cool too. Eg. we were placed under a common denominator (TJC), tutors were there to help us take absolute values of everything passion drive purpose, integrate knowledge and other stuff to get higher powers of them, and a lot of other crazy stuff. Chemistry department were funny too. Physics department mainly put quotes. GP department was quite funny too. Guess what my GP tutor wrote on his slide.
Bye bye.
Infer the author's tone and purpose from the above sentence (or something like that).
Quite funny.
Then there was this video of photos of what my batch did. It was quite nice, though i only appeared once. Not bad already though.
Then another funny part came in. The star awards 2007 people came to interrupt. I had a better idea of how things work in the media industry. First the emcee came in to ensure that we were enthu and spontaneous. She tested us and dared us to cheer loudly. We did the TJ cheer and she was quite impressed. But when the celebrities come in... lol, the volume was on a whole different level.
Soon after, the concert ended. And that's that. Back to mugging. And the emcee's last sentence was "ok thats all JC2s, erm, you guys are dismissed, you all can go study or something." LOL.

Core Values
Did i mention before that i may join the police force? My friends say that i have the moral values for it. I guess i do. The scholarship sure looks enticing, but then again its a dream too far away. I did some checks and research about the Singapore Police Force (SPF). Quite interesting.
Some forum says that its wise for pre-enlistees to know the 7 Core Values of Singapore Armed Forces. So i guess i'll try to remember it.
SAF 7 Core Values
Loyalty to country
Leadership
Discipline
Professionalism
Fighting spirit
Ethics
Care for soldiers
(Hidden Core Value: Just don't get caught)
SPF 4 Core Values
Courage
Loyalty
Integrity
Fairness

Enlisting
So one fine day, my classmates came bursting into the tutorial room blabbering about enlistment dates. Before i know what was happening, Edwin was saying "i help you check" and i "blurly" said ok. After 1 min of stunness, i knew my enlistment date. Later that day, i receive the enlistment letter from CMPB.
Yup. 11 Jan 2008 11.30am Basic Military Training Centre School 1.
Settle anything you want with me before then. Cause after that, i'm gonna become a man. And chances are, i'll be a lot harder to deal with than i am now.
I hope.

Valentine's Day
Recently i have been listening to this song. Its called Valentine's Day by Linkin Park. Most people should know it, eh? What interest me is the uncommon structure of the song. The "chorus" is at the back of the song. Its a really nice song with the sad tones placed out nicely.
My insides all turned to ash, So slow
And blew away as I collapsed, So cold
A black wind took them away, From sight
And now the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
looking so dissatisfied
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, But not now
Cause my path had lost direction, Somehow
A black wind took you away, From sight
And now the darkness over day, That night
And the clouds above more closer
looking so dissatisfied
and the ground below grew colder
as they put you down inside
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone
And I was wrongI never knew what it was like
To be alone
On a Valentine's Day

Geylang Trip
Zuli's blog says its the month of Ramadhan. 3 years ago, I went to Geylang during this period of time with her, Atikah, Edwin, Danny, Liyue, Benjamin and his bro, Norani and her bro, and i think a few more. It was quite fun then. That was 2004.
Anyhow its celebrated by the Muslims who are mainly Malays. They stop eating and drinking from a certain time in the morning and are allowed to eat only sometime after 7pm. Tough eh? But this is only the most common side seen by other Singaporeans. The truth is this is the month that they cleanse their soul and they abstain from other stuff such as sex, smoking and more (said so from Zuli's blog, correct me if i'm wrong). Its been a long time since i met Zuli and Atikah, so we decided that we should go again this year. Thus we went to Geylang to FEAST! Lol. Sounds so wrong. But its true, Geylang is quite the food paradise. There are other things to shop too.
Its kind of weird, how Edwin and I are the only Chinese in the area. But its an eye opener and an experience that occurs only in a period of the year. I had a great time with my Malay friends too.
In conclusion, its not bad, quite fun, should go again next year.

Mooncake Festival
Zhong Qiu Jie <<中秋节>> is known in English as Mooncake Festival, or more commonly Mid Autumn Festival, is on the 15 August of the Lunar Calender. And boy, its been 10 years since i last celebrated it. I decided to go along since my friends mentioned they all had fun the previous years.
We went to Punggol Park, loaded with lanturns (including one Ultraman one), more than 10 packets of candles and loads of matches. Quite a few people went, though more would have been fun. I called, but most people arent free.
The girls were mainly chit chatting, and the guys were mainly creating rockets using the materials we have. Amidst the explosions and whistling of sparkles around us, we kept failing to create our own rockets. Meanwhile, i was creating words with candles. It was pretty fun, and the current wallpaper i'm using on my blog now is made by me. Cool huh? Too bad the night mode of my camera isnt of good quality. Most photos came out dark. But still, these arent too bad.
This is supposed to be WuShu's WU in chinese. But the cluttered flames made it hard to see.

I created another heart at first. But it was kinda a failure. The 2 contrast tones are due to one taken by my phone and another by a camera.
I got quite bored at one point and didnt know what to make. It didnt really occur in my mind, but other words are quite complicated. Haha i'm still quite innocent.

A level Prelims 2007
Today is the 4th day of the prelims (but there's no paper today). For the first to third day, my combination had all 5 subjects. Monday was GP and Physics P3, Tuesday was Maths P1 and Econs P2, Wednesday was Chemistry P3. Its so tiring.
It was all ok, until Chemistry.
But you know, if i'm ever going to be a teacher, i'll make sure i propose that no tutors are allowed to make noise during the examination. Its annoying and distracting, seriously. If i don't get at least a B for my chemistry, i think someone may die, and its not gonna be me. Sheesh, seriously, i thought tutors should be educators with some EQ. But apparently that's a generalisation.
6 more papers to go.

Teacher's Day
Yesterday was Teacher's Day. Thus 31st August was the school celebration for it. 31st August is also the Graduated Friends Reunion Day. Last year it was more of Teacher's Day for me. But frankly this year, i looked forward to seeing my friends more.
I didn't go to college, not really interested. It was optional anyways. At 9.45, i reached Xinmin. As i approached the gate, i saw a Raffles girl cat walking towards my direction. It was so distinctively Liyue. I laughed all the way until i reached the gate. Naturally she hit me when i mentioned about that to her. Coincidentally, i met Ed and her so we went to see the teachers together. The guards say "canteen only". My friends were like whispering to me "really ah?" and i said "of course we chiong up lah". So we went to the staff room and noticed that the door was ajar. We took this opportunity and sneaked inside. The science HOD asked us who let us in, but when we didnt answer that question, she just let it pass. But apparently we arent the only ones who attacked the staff room. We saw Mr Singh, Mr Ho, Mrs Teo, Ms Yeo, Mr Pah, Mdm Chua, Ms Pan, Mdm Tian, Ms Kuck, Mr Chan, Ms Abey, Mdm Hanifah and Ms Tee but unfortunately, we didnt talk much to them. It's really a pity. I remember last year i interrupted Mdm Tian's lesson and she gladly spoke to me until the bell rang for break.
The performance was, well, not too enticing as usual. Half way through i couldnt take it anymore and left the hall. But seeing the SL trainee kids do hard labour work with no grumbling warmed my heart a little. Afterall i was once a Junior Prefect too. Anyhow, i met Ching Yee, Han Kee, Jia Jian, Danny, Xiang Yeow, Eric, Joanne, Atikah, Noraini, Hong You, Jasper, Cassandra, Sandra, Stephanie, Hui Shan, Jason, Benjamin, Desmond, Elgin, Sabrina, Aishah, Wan Shi Ting, Yinning, some of my TJ juniors whom i dont miss at all (i see them often in college), and maybe more but i cant remember. I had a good chat with Ching Yee, Eric, Jason and Atikah, but seriously it wasnt enough. I also miss Zuli and Leon a lot. Hope i get to see you guys again soon. I also didnt get to see my other juniors like Khee Ern, Shalina, Zu Yao, Shi Ting, ya and many more. Oh well...
Then yesterday, 1st of September, halfway through studying, i smsed Mrs Melissa Tan, arguably my favourite teacher, who helped me get an A1 for O lvls from a F9 (E8 after moderation) for prelims. She thank me for remembering her, then i said "how can i forget you? i heard that you made me a legend from last year's class 402". Then she said this "Yes your performance was a big motivation for all of us. Nothing seems impossible as its still about diligence and perseverance." Haha... I guess diligence and perseverance was half of the key to my success. The other half was Mrs Tan. Last year when i went back to see her, she was with Mrs Song too. Then when 3 of us were walking back to the Staff Room, Mrs Song ask me "so can you tell me your secret?" I pointed to Mrs Tan and said "ask her". Mrs Tan said "how i know." but then its really the truth.
I sms other teachers and my JC tutors too, mainly those who i have their numbers and i am quite close to. Its heartening to see their replies (though some didnt reply).
Ah i just remembered that i didnt take any photos with my friends. Its a pity. But at least i made a promise with Atikah to have a gathering with some friends after prelims. And the final good luck handshake with Jason was warm too. Thus, happy teacher's day to all my beloved teachers and tutors. Really appreciate your efforts. If not for all your pushing and trusting, I wouldnt have gone so far. And to all my friends taking the prelims, lets Jia You together and chiong this last lap at maximum velocity. After the As, we can have a good rest and gathering.
Till then, all the best.

Coincidentally, i met Ed and her so we went to see the teachers together. The guards say "canteen only". My friends were like whispering to me "really ah?" and i said "of course we chiong up lah". So we went to the staff room and noticed that the door was ajar. We took this opportunity and sneaked inside. The science HOD asked us who let us in, but when we didnt answer that question, she just let it pass. But apparently we arent the only ones who attacked the staff room. We saw Mr Singh, Mr Ho, Mrs Teo, Ms Yeo, Mr Pah, Mdm Chua, Ms Pan, Mdm Tian, Ms Kuck, Mr Chan, Ms Abey, Mdm Hanifah and Ms Tee but unfortunately, we didnt talk much to them. It's really a pity. I remember last year i interrupted Mdm Tian's lesson and she gladly spoke to me until the bell rang for break.
The performance was, well, not too enticing as usual. Half way through i couldnt take it anymore and left the hall. But seeing the SL trainee kids do hard labour work with no grumbling warmed my heart a little. Afterall i was once a Junior Prefect too. Anyhow, i met Ching Yee, Han Kee, Jia Jian, Danny, Xiang Yeow, Eric, Joanne, Atikah, Noraini, Hong You, Jasper, Cassandra, Sandra, Stephanie, Hui Shan, Jason, Benjamin, Desmond, Elgin, Sabrina, Aishah, Wan Shi Ting, Yinning, some of my TJ juniors whom i dont miss at all (i see them often in college), and maybe more but i cant remember. I had a good chat with Ching Yee, Eric, Jason and Atikah, but seriously it wasnt enough. I also miss Zuli and Leon a lot. Hope i get to see you guys again soon. I also didnt get to see my other juniors like Khee Ern, Shalina, Zu Yao, Shi Ting, ya and many more. Oh well...
Then yesterday, 1st of September, halfway through studying, i smsed Mrs Melissa Tan, arguably my favourite teacher, who helped me get an A1 for O lvls from a F9 (E8 after moderation) for prelims. She thank me for remembering her, then i said "how can i forget you? i heard that you made me a legend from last year's class 402". Then she said this "Yes your performance was a big motivation for all of us. Nothing seems impossible as its still about diligence and perseverance." Haha... I guess diligence and perseverance was half of the key to my success. The other half was Mrs Tan. Last year when i went back to see her, she was with Mrs Song too. Then when 3 of us were walking back to the Staff Room, Mrs Song ask me "so can you tell me your secret?" I pointed to Mrs Tan and said "ask her". Mrs Tan said "how i know." but then its really the truth.
I sms other teachers and my JC tutors too, mainly those who i have their numbers and i am quite close to. Its heartening to see their replies (though some didnt reply).
Ah i just remembered that i didnt take any photos with my friends. Its a pity. But at least i made a promise with Atikah to have a gathering with some friends after prelims. And the final good luck handshake with Jason was warm too. Thus, happy teacher's day to all my beloved teachers and tutors. Really appreciate your efforts. If not for all your pushing and trusting, I wouldnt have gone so far. And to all my friends taking the prelims, lets Jia You together and chiong this last lap at maximum velocity. After the As, we can have a good rest and gathering.
Till then, all the best.

The Strongest Disciple
Well lately i'm into this manga called The Strongest Disciple. Its really old and i'm surprised that an anime was made for it.
The Strongest Disciple is about this High School year 1 student who always got bullied. Tired of escaping reality, he joined a training school (sort of) which looked old and crappy. However, the reality is that 6 dangerously strong masters of martial arts live there and finally accepted him as a student. One of the masters' granddaughter also live there. And she sure has big assets. Lol. This guy eventually meets his destiny to fight all the disciples in the world, all desiring the place of The Strongest Disciple.
This manga is full of action and comedy. Maybe i like it cause i prefer action pack manga like Naruto and Bleach. You can read The Strongest Disciple here. http://dm.99770.com/Comic/1080/1080.htm

Tagging thing
Hong You just informed me that Desmond tagged me. I went "what the hell?" and went to check out his blog. Halfway through looking at his blog, i realised that he might have tagged my tagboard and sure enough, he did.
Too bad des, just when i was about to write out the post, i find this tagging thing strangely familar. Sure enough, i did something like that already. It was in my post "10 random facts about me". Just scroll down. Looks like i shouldnt need to do it again. But for the sake that des actually remembered me while blogging (i'm surprised), i will rewrite out that post and maybe do a little change to it. (nonetheless, he remembered me when he was finding people to sabo, thanks ah)
The tag goes something like this:
Rules of the game: each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. people who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. at the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. no tagbacks! :D
However i have no intention to tag 6 other people cause i simply have no one to tag. People who used to blog all dont blog anymore.
1) My msn list is not grouped by how people associates with me but by how close they are with me ie. close friend, normal friend, enemies etc
2) I have a private blog.
3) I have a collection of other people's display pictures for MSN Messenger. I stole it using a software without them knowing. Now did that scare you? Haha.
4) The Doraemon clay model which my primary school best friend gave to me in Pri2 is still on my desk, right in front of me.
5) I had chicken pox when i was 1 month old.
6) I can't do cartwheel even though i have been learning wushu for about a year.
7) My favourite hobby is sleeping.
8) I go suntanning a lot but i hate to suntan. I like the colour, but its such a waste of time.
9) I like to cam whore, but i don't cam whore.
10) It took me 30 mins to think of this 10 stupid facts.
Alright. I changed 2 of the facts from my previous posts. So nobody should accuse me of not putting in effort.

思念是一种病
This song is really nice. I have been listening to this song ONLY for the past 1 week.
sang by 张震岳
当你在穿山越岭的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头
一辈子有多少的来不及
发现已经失去
最重要的东西
恍然大悟早已远去
为何总是在犯错之后
才肯相信错的是自己
他们说这就是人生
试著体会试著忍住眼泪
还是躲不开应该有的情绪
我不会奢求世界停止转动
我知道逃避一点都没有用
只是这段时间里尤其在夜里
还是会想起难忘的事情
我想我的思念是一种病
久久不能痊愈
当你在穿山越岭的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头
时常感觉你在耳后的呼吸
却未曾感觉你在心口的鼻息
汲汲营营
忘记身边的人需要爱和关心
藉口总是拉远了距离
不知不觉无声无息
我们总是在抱怨事与愿违
却不愿意回头看看自己
想想自己到底做了甚黱蠢事情
也许是上帝给我一个试炼
只是这伤口需要花点时间
只是会想念过去的一切
那些人事物会离我远去
而我们终究也会远离
变成回忆
oh 思念是一种病
oh 思念是一种病一种病
多久没有说我爱你
多久没有拥抱你所爱的人
当这个世界不在那黱美好
只有爱可以让他更好
我相信一切都来得及
别管那些纷纷扰扰
别让不开心的事停下了脚步
就怕你不说就怕你不做
别让遗憾继续一切都来得及
The rough translation is
When you are at the other side of the world
My walk down the lonely road seems to never end
There's a lot of things we don't get to do in time in this lifetime
when we realise we lost
the most important things
its already too late
why do we have to do something wrong
before we realise its our own fault
they say this is life...
trying to understand trying to hold back our tears
but we will still feel those feelings that we should
i won't ask for the time to stop
i know that escaping won't solve anything
just that during this time especially in the night
i still recall those memories
i think my pining is a illness
and it takes too long to heal
When you are at the other side of the world
My walk down the lonely road seems to never end
I always feel your breathe right behind me
But i never felt your breathe in my heart
keep
forgetting that the people around me needs love and care
excuses always widen gaps
unknowingly nothing is left
we always grumble that things aren't going our way
but we refuse to look back at ourselves
and think what kind of stupid things we've done
maybe god is giving me a test
maybe this wound just need more time to heal
just that when i think of all this
all the people and things are leaving me
and we're all going to separate
and become memories
oh pining is a kind of illness
oh pining is a kind of illness
how long has it been since i said i love you
how long has it been since you hug someone you love
when this world isn't so good anymore
only love can make it better
i believe everything can be done in time
don't care about all the distractions
don't let the unhappiness stop you
i'm just afraid that you won't say or you won't do
don't let regrets stop you cause everything's still possible

Tarot Card
You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
What Tarot Card are You?

Punkd1
Today Mr Tan showed us a local movie. The title of the movie is The Letter and you can watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du4JkpR6iNg but be warned its gay-themed. Its not really nice, not a multibillion production in that aspect and not played by fantastic actors. But its a true story they say, how true i wonder.
BUT all this is besides the point. The 2 songs that was played in the movie were my concerns. Its really very nice. Written by Kevin Fok, a Singaporean and sang by Punkd1 (not sure?), the 2 pieces are called It's You and Beautiful. It really took me a long time to find these songs but you can download them here for free http://www.purevolume.com/punkd1 .
Beautiful
I dont know
If Im the one for you in this life
I cant help
Hearing my voice calling your name
Cuz when I
Trying so hard not to look in your eyes
Maybe I
Have fallen in love with you
Well tonight
Maybe this time I can hear your breathe
Its alive
To see you smile with those tears in your eyes
They may say
That you're just a girl in this spinning world
In my heart
You're like the world to me
Touch my hand; feel my heart
Hold me close and You'll find me
You'll find me
I cant so describe
How I feeling deep inside
So much more than I can say
With your touch it feels so right
Oh my, you're so near
All the time in this place
For I know in my heart
I'll never let you go
In this lifetime
Do you know why oh baby
Cus youre just so beautiful to me
It's You
Wake up every morning
And find you by my side
There's no one in this world
Like you Jesus
Who can touch a heart like mine
Suddenly it's over
All the cries that's In my heart
It all seems B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
All consuming by your grace
I may not sing as well as Clay or Ruben
I may not be the cutest guy
I may not look like Leonardo Dicaprio
But I do know one thing ..
It's you who make me stronger
I need you more than ever
You're the reason why I'm singing for you
It's you who create the wonders
In all my days of struggles
It's your love that surrounds my whole world
Sometimes I cry when I'm lonely
When it all just seems so real
But there's one thing that I can't deny
Is your love that's in my life

Sports Carnival 2007
This year's Sports Carnival for Wushu was more fruitful than last year, mainly being last year i did not participate but this year i did. Not much, but at least i watched all the matches.
First up was the dodgeball. Even though i got Chen Shao in team 2 and i joined team 1 myself (the teams are made up of year 1s entirely), both teams still lost. Better yet, the 2 of us got out in an instant. We lost to swimming team and table tennis. It was quite bad but then we used the rest of the time to play the sparring balloon thing which was really fun.
Then 2nd match was floorball in which team 1 lost to table tennis again. Kinda flustered, really. But team 2 won some PDP first, can't remember which, then netball, then basketball, then hockey, and finally won table tennis in the finals! It was a great job well done. But because of this we missed the chance to play foosball. They should have waited for us, its not like we have no valid reason anyway.
Then we played tug of war. Team 1 lost to swimming, naturally. They're all twice our size. Then team 2 won basketball after having a walk over with squash. Then we played with swimming again and won and then lost to soccer and netball. So we got 3rd. It was not bad too. If Song Yan had been there, then soccer and netball should be no problem too. But netball was really strong, even my soccer friend who is a guy couldn't win.
I didn't join the class events caused i had stomach ache. It's a pity, then again i think most of the classmates are all ill or something and aren't in school. There's gonna be plenty of walkovers.

Hmm, this was done a long time ago. But it still awes me to no end. I never knew I was mature, trustworthy and confident. I thought everyone thinks of me as one big gossip mouth and spills everything out easily. People who think i'm mature as generally my junior which explains why. Confident? It's mostly my juniors again. People say i'm observant, well can't deny that much. Reflective, able, dependable, friendly (eyes buldge out), independent, organised (like what the?), sensible.

Thank You For The Music
2 days ago, we had quite a cool Contact Time talk on marriage. The speaker was pretty interesting. However what really caught my eye was this 2 slides which he say are irrelevent to the topic. He claims that either he had forgotten to take them out or accidentally put them in, i forgot which. Anyhow, this 2 slides got my eyes cause i saw this few lyrics which were all too familiar.
The title of this song is "Thank You For The Music". Why do i remember it? Thats because its my primary school graduation song. Pretty cool huh. I just checked online and found that the lyrics my primary school gave was only part of it and some of the lines were changed. Anyways here goes.
Thank You For The Music
Chorus
Thank you for the music, the songs i'm singing.
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing.
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what would life be
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Bridge
I've been so lucky
I have the chance to sing for you
I wanna shout it out to everyone
What a joy, what a chance, what a life!
Chorus x 1
Yup. So thanks, for the music, for giving it to me. If you think you've given me music, feel free to ask me to sing this song for you to hear.
The title of this song is "Thank You For The Music". Why do i remember it? Thats because its my primary school graduation song. Pretty cool huh. I just checked online and found that the lyrics my primary school gave was only part of it and some of the lines were changed. Anyways here goes.
Thank You For The Music
Chorus
Thank you for the music, the songs i'm singing.
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing.
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what would life be
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Bridge
I've been so lucky
I have the chance to sing for you
I wanna shout it out to everyone
What a joy, what a chance, what a life!

Inter-School Wushu Competition 2007 (2)
The things i want to talk about in this post is the performance costumes. Yup i became a spying cam/peeping tom/perverted old man on days which i did not compete. Worse still most of the photos i took are guys. *Gasp!* Thats mainly because i didn't notice many girls with fanciful costumes. Oh people please forgive me, blame it on your costumes.
This is more of a white costume than a silver one. Some people looks really good in it, but some looks really disgusting. But dang, this colour is definitely one of my top 5 favourites.

This is more of a hydrid between magneta and pink. It also has silver linings on its sleeves and collar. Looks pretty cool actually.
This is a shade of orange costume. Not bad i say.

Yet another white costume. The previous guy looks better i think.
This guy is a very pro pro. He has nice costumes too. Bright yellow is one of my favourite colours. His is a hybrid between gold and yellow with black linings. One of my top 5 too.
Look at the array of costumes just before an event.
This girl is like the most pro female in the arena i saw in this season. She's looks really good with super long legs and she's also very graceful. Not that i'm interested in girls taller than me...

Just a sidetrack. Guess whose white long and slender legs is this?
The answer is Wai Yeow! He's the whitest guy in TJ Wushu. But man, those legs look like they can kill in one hit...
This is the previous guy who had a magneta-pink costume. A close up look.
I prefer this orange than the previous one. One of my top 5 favourite colours. In fact its my 2nd favourite.

This is the pro i mentioned just now. His costume looks like the kid before. But this is more pinkish i guess. Also has silver linings.
This costume is totally pink! But its not really hot pink. Seriously, this is at the top of my favourite list, though i don't think it will look good on me. I prefer costumes which don't have linings though some do look nice.

I rarely see southern fist costume which is light blue. Southern fist costumes are all sleeveless by the way. Not bad.
Another southern fist costume. A fine blue colour.
This is the group event costume this year. Pale yellow doesn't look bad but i don't look good in it. I usually wear a bright yellow colour.
