| Paul| (02 VENTURE) Psalm 105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD says:

dude, check out this picture, its f***ing awesome, I took it the other night on my phone :P (was a little drunk) :D:D

OMG? PAUL? tsktsk.. very disappointing.

hahaha okay la not really actually it was because he kena this computer virus that keeps sending itself out to other users on msn and tries to convince them to accept the virus by saying this kind of rubbish before. HAHAHA but found it really funny, coming from paul tern :D

howay the lads.

2007-09-02T00:49:00.000+08:00

newcastle 1-0 wigan.

what more can i say? ecstatic about the result :) and yeah finally, a league goal at st james' park since feb! and who is it scored by? michael "mercenary" owen! maybe he will finally come good on his promise to bring toon fans better things in the near future and put our club back in europe! howay the toon (:

great win for newcastle and after 4 games, we are still unbeaten! we are a club on the rise, ole ole ole ole! last night was transfer deadline, and though we sold nobby the toon legend for a nominal fee to west ham and promising defender paul huntington to leeds, we got abdoulaye faye from bolton and marseille captain habib beye to plug the gap at right back! looking forward to seeing greater things ahead at the toon :D

and yesterday we went to watch ratatouille at bishan! funny funny show and i thoroughly enjoyed it i must say, even as i find myself deviating away from cartoons nowadays and going for shows with comic relief like rush hour 3 and mr bean's holiday but yeah it was a fantastic show nonetheless. hahahaha

ooh and we also made a nicenicenicenicenice teachers' day present for janus!!! very nice one :D we bought a big big box at mini toons and filled it up with newspapers and rocks, then put an opti paddle in the middle of it all (hopefully he will lug it all the way home, it being heavy and all) and the opti paddle has all the messages we want to say to him. hahaha we had a lot of fun making it :D

and yesterday was guitar concert! it was really fun! especially the rock band part, slau was just fantastic! no one thought that slau could have such a fantastic voice other than those of us who know him, but yeah, now everyone knows! congrats slau, you pwn everyone! haahha :D

and of course theres hiok with his great performance! he was also very sweet when he gave his girlfriend a rose halfway through the performance :) so nice right! hahaha hiokk ^^

actually, i think a guitar sounds nicer when played individually as compared to being played in an ensemble.. but yet again, i dont know, as i have a very limited knowledge in music, having only a grade 7 in piano but knowing nuts about music. hahaha anyway it was still very fun!

and i have a sinking feeling that somebody is pissed with me. can you just tell me if you pissed with me? i dont knowww. WHY?

hahaha and anyway a shout out to all the teachers of mine out there whom i like. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND GUIDING ME ALONG THE WAY. i could never have done it

... WITHOUT YOU ...

hahaha (poetry slam anyone?)

more than a 30 point victory.

wow i can finally blog about this.

BAYLEY HOUSE WINS HOUSE CHAMPIONSHIPS BY 30 POINTS WITH A TOTAL SCORE OF 130 POINTS! WOOHOO!

one whole year of work really did pay off!

man, it feels great just to win, just to have that justification for all your efforts. but then again, its not saying that those houses who did not win did not put in the effort. i guess they did well too! because can see that this year, all houses worked very hard and stuff so i guess yeah there really are no losers here (THOUGH THERE IS A VERY CLEAR WINNER) and we should all be proud of what we have achieved in this year.

oh and look at the number of firsts in the sports department! bayley won 5 out of 9 sports! including waterpolo :D waterpolo interhouse was a great experience cos my players trained very hard under me and we pwned all the other houses. then there was basketball interhouse when everyone played very hard and we got second place for b div. alot of memories fly back when i try to recollect such events, and its great to think that having toiled hard in the year, it is great to reap such rewards. i hope bayley house can build on it this year and win it again next year! (though by not so big a margin.. i would like to be remembered as being part bayley that won by an unprecedented 30 points)

and of course, winning the house championship is definitely not only the exco. every exco works just as hard as the other, but the people that truly make the difference are the house members, and i am proud to say that we bayley have the best members in the whole of ri. especially the sec 1s! they are the best batch of bayleyeans i have ever seen, seriously. they are the most proactive, most enthusiastic, and friendliest bunch! no wonder we all can get along together very well. haha maybe one of the many many things that i will miss when i graduate from ri will be our very own bayley sec 1s. and of course, ill definitely miss bayley. the callups, the teams, the trainings, the teamtalks, basically just the whole experience of being bayley.

but one thing i know i wont forget, is the spirit of bayley house. it is a spirit of excellence, the strong drive for success, and the ability to push oneself beyond what we think is humanely possible just to win it for the house. and i know i will not forget the experience of winning, because we will carry it to rjc with bayley-waddle.

so come on new challenge, let us take you on.

gloria illustris semper

ill never forget the year of the lion.

great success!

the memories.

2007-08-19T18:38:00.002+08:00

was searching through my computer and some websites for my old waterpolo pictures to put in to my english oral defence, and some dead and buried memories and feelings suddenly cropped up again. i really feel as if i have something missing from my life nowadays when i dont go to waterpolo training anymore, when i just spend my time on mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, and fridays at the gym or at home having a short nap. it really is different, and somehow, it aint right.

i remember this time last year, when we were already training 4 or 5 times a week to keep our dreams of winning the gold for ri alive. everyday i would reach home at least 6+ in the evening and struggle to do my work because i would come back from training feeling very exhausted and fatigued.

perhaps, we look at our results (4th for nationals) and wonder to ourselves, was all the hours, days and months we put in for training really worth it? if you asked me then, i would say, definitely, it was worth it. you ask me now, and i would still give you the same answer, yes, it has been definitely bloody worth it.

found this while searching through RInspire (our school magazine) for my articles on sailing and waterpolo, and indeed, as tom said, we raffles waterpolo team of 2007, really are one huge family, working together towards that dream of finally lifting that cup.

haha okay enough random rambling from me, so let me just conclude this short moment of reflection with a picture.

botak seetow!!!

2007-08-12T00:56:00.000+08:00

come on say it with me! who are sitting proudly atop the english premier league table now? huh? who? who?

hahaha its newcastle united of course! with a 3-1 win at reebok stadium, home to bolton, in the bag, the premiership's top position is finally ours! hahaha and i remember the last time we topped the premiership back in season 03-04, we finished an eventual third in the premiership, qualifying for europe. now isnt that a good omen or what!

big sam's methods are working! wheeee! and he has instillled a new belief in the squad, getting people who will work for their wages, like geremi, barton and smith just to name a few.

and he has also finally tried out zoggy at left back, something i have wanted roeder to do for a very long time. hahaha he looked stable out there so thats great! perhaps he could provide jose enrique with some good competition for that position. haha

zoggy played super well today too. he scored one and created another for oba. and oba scored two, including an emphatic bicycle kick! yay!

omg im so excited. hahaha howay the lads! and 07-08 will be our season to shine! yay for newcastle!

2007-08-09T00:42:00.000+08:00

hi everybody!

and lets have a national day treat.. from dick lee!

haahha i think the national day song this year is quite weird, considering how the whole song does not even mention the word "singapore", not once at all. hahaha i think last year's "Home" was much nicer lor! especially cos they were performed by little kids.. AWW SO CUTE! hahaha and sorry to disappoint many out there, but i do nothave paedophilic tendencies :'(

haha ahh im tired i shall go sleep. i have watched simpsons and rushed hour 3 these past two days! both movies were a blast i tell you. simpsons just got me out of my seat with laughter and its political humour, and rush hour 3 was all chris tucker man. that guy is one fantastic talk cock king la. hahaha

anyway bye (:

2007-08-05T19:10:00.000+08:00

haha i should be doing lit presentation! and not this! but yeah COOL VIDEO anyway on youtube, something that i should be banned from... stupid lit presentation! hahaha

this black guy who looks younger than me sings like some crazy bugger omgomgomg his voice is so cool. and hes 25. hahaha

2007-08-04T12:30:00.000+08:00

YES!

i think we did well for cross country yesterday, i surmise that we should either be getting a 1st or 2nd placing. haha results not out yet, but i was standing and stoning like 300m away from the finish line the whole day, so more or less i can estimate la. hahaha

yesterday i was standing at 300m away from the finish line and waving the flag and telling any bayleyeans running past who would listen that it was 100m more to sprint and stuff like that HAHAHA but actually it was 300m so they just sprinted thinking it was 100m and pushed themselves for 300m, i think like that they improved a few placings. :D and it was quite ironic that moor set up camp 100m behind me, saying that left 200m (which was the truth). hahha

so anyway great job bayleyeans, we did well yesterday! :D

and on a separate note, newcastle united transfer dealings have gone up a notch! we captured alan smith on a 6mil pound transfer last night.

and no matter what others say about alan smith, this lad is genuinely a player who gives his 100%, and more, for his club, and is always the first to take one for the club. haha i like these kind of players and i hope he does well at newcastle.

plus, we got cacapa (ex lyon captain) on a free transfer.

this guy is definitely bound to improve our defence and share some invaluable experiences with our up and coming young star steven taylor. hahaha so i think he will be a fantastic signing for the short term future.

and latest news in: we are on the verge of capturing the signing of villareal's young spanish gem in left back jose enrique sanchez for a reported fee of 4m pounds.

hahaha wheeee! now all of newcastle's problems are solved! yay! i watched this guy play for villareal before and my word, is he good. very promising, but perhaps lacking a little in experience. definitely a potential spanish full international in the future. haahha YAY!

and of course, as everyone heard, kieron dyer wants to leave newcastle. i dont know whats all the hype and speculation for. he wants to leave, then leave la! if it makes things any easier, i wouldnt mind going to newcastle and helping him pack his bags and leave for west ham, that club that takes in newcastle losers and rejects. just go already!

i hope this means exactly what it says. i hope dyer's newcastle journey ends here, that loser!

2007-08-02T21:26:00.000+08:00

tomorrow is interhouse cross country! go bayley go bayley!

second last sports event for the year, so full speed ahead! please bayleyeans, do us all proud by running your hardest because if we do well, house championship is definitely in sight!

but i cant run.. doctor's orders. my feet are super bad condition so i guess well that's that. hahaha anyway im a really slow runner just couldnt cut it on land la. hahaah so...

good luck bayleyeans! and remember to wear your official house t-shirt.

2007-07-31T22:17:00.000+08:00

haha i very long never blog already, so long that my history doesnt even have www.blogger.com hahha. alot of things have happened since the last time i blogged, which was a really long time ago, and hahaha i guess im now quite dying in school with lots of work to catch up after that "regrettably missing those 4 days of school to sail in the school's colours for sailing nationals".

haha and about sailing nationals, i was really excited about it because i guess it was really my last chance to win a gold for the school, but hell, it just wasnt to be lor. hahha acsi had 10 sailors and we had 5, the numerical difference made it super hard already and we were unlucky. haha :(

and well for the c boys, i guess it was darn bad luck that we lost out there because we were leading with a huge lead by the end of day 1 but we eventually lost by 2 points to acsi. arghhh! kns. haha but at least they tried their best la. haahaha

anyway i made many many friends in my sailing journey thus far and lets just say that i dont regret that i put sailing in my choice of cca in sec 1 despite not knowing how to sail and then joining sailing in sec 1 rather than waterpolo, which i only joined in sec 2. because sailing has also been very fulfilling for me and i have forged many strong bonds with the people ive met, especially with my nice sec 1 juniors in sailing this year. hahaha will realy miss you guys despite training only like 1 and a half months with you all. ahah :D and of course, our training partners ij, who helped us so much during training and competition, and the strong bonds of friendship our team has forged with them, as well as helping me rig up my boat always since i dont know how to rig up a byte despite sailing it for 2 years already. hahaha im such a failure!

and a few days back we had our prize presentation for sailing on our ri podium and hahaha i was the person to announce everything so i made it super funny and lame! like kept saying we got 1st....*pause* runner's up and talk about how we "were forced to miss 4 days of school to don school colours" HAHAHA as if i had to be forced to miss school like that. hahaha not bad la.

and recently, in u16 league, ri waterpolo got to play barker but they (mr lim and jiaolian) didnt let me play at all. so that got me really really pissed. cos i really begged them and you know what they did? they laughed at me. hahaha that got me really winded up so i just walked off from the match and went to shower. well you all knew that i really wanted to play that match but dont let me play.. ohwells. dont need me la, very good. i sec 4 already wont see me play in b div next year im unimportant anymore dont need take care of my welfare already. hahaha okay la, dont need me, i dont need you either. thats why i rather spend my time during ri trainings on monday and friday and wednesdays sometimes in the gym training up physically rather than going and wasting my time training with those lousy coaches. haha waste of my time, talent, and brain capacity.

ahaha anyway we have been having cip with visually handicapped kids for the past few weeks and i must say i thoroughly enjoy myself every session. hahaha i am in charge of this guy called john and hes totally blind but that doesnt stop him from having a fantastic sense of humour! haha hes a cool guy and i like talking to him hahaha this is the only times i go to ri pool anyway. ahaha today i got the chance to lead all of the guys to teach the visually handicapped kids how to swim and i guess it was a really big challenge for me because im still a little unsure of their full capabilities, im scared of pushing them too far. but it turned out well la, and i enjoy their company so i hope we have many many more fun times together!

oh yeah, marcus is doing great in campus superstar too! according to him, he didnt sing very well yesterday but still got second highest. so obviously he is a notch above the rest of the contestants and i think he can win! so you guys, all must vote! waterpolo's very own okay! hahaha

and bayley won dramafeste! omg our play was like really really great la hahaha it had the whole audience in raptures! haha first five minutes were only the bayley people laughing (we were trying to generate laughter but it was really too lame in the first 5 mins) then slowly the humour became better and we pulled it off! hahaha we all bayley people sitting together laughed our hearts out and my, it was great! hahah kudos to jotham and cake for putting in all that hard work to make all this possible, and the cast and crew for the bayley dramafeste production "fiveplay" who worked hard till like 10+ for many nights just to grind out the finer details. plus, all the seniors who came back! woochiao, chengyi, hweeleong, zhiyang and boonping among others, you guys deserve it! thank you very much! haha i think buckley should have performed before us because our play kinda totally destroyed their play, because their play is some mellodrama, and coming after our play, which was kinda absurdist and super duper funny, the audience was really high so that kinda killed the whole atmosphere. haha guess they couldnt pull it off so well with the winning team going before them so i guess they were kinda unlucky? but good try anyway!

and recently was mrs d'cruz birthday so we treated her to a birthday dinner at cafe cartel on one of the days. ahaha it was supposed to be a surprise because i got an sms from a young ms d'cruz (through mrs d'cruz phone) telling me that that day was her birthday so we waterpoloers planned it all as a surprise, saying that dinner was to smooth out team issues after we had some argument and fight. hahaha in the end tatwai and jinsei spoilt it all! ahhhhh! they forgot and wished her happy birthday then she smelt a rat! ahhh so wasted. haha but the dinner was great and we had tons of fun talking and reminiscing.

hahaha i love my team :D i want to train hard together with them again (IN RJ) and win a div together in 08 and 09. we are strong man, and i want to keep our team together because we are super bonded as a team and we trust each other, that is the most important. i trust all of them and hope that they feel the same too.

2007-06-24T00:04:00.000+08:00

haha i just came back from a full day of gatherings la had 2L'05 gathering in the morning and we played abit of soccer and talked abit of rubbish and we even saw miss tang! so long never see her already, since last year june. haha 1 year already and she still remembers all of us hahaha well i guess which teacher can forget me? hahha i go back to nanyang primary and all the teachers remember me but dont remember the rest. haha i guess i gave them all a tough time...

hahaah after that was lunch with the 2L'05 guys and they went to catch a movie while i went to find leonad at city hall where we met up before our gems camp cluster 3 gathering. haha

met him at citylink and we went to marina square to go bowling. hahaa all the lanes were full so we were made to go on the waiting list so i went to arcade to play street fighter vs marvel superheroes and i was playing damn pro then had to go cos we got a lane free! hahha so me and leonad played and my my i didnt do that badly for a guy who isnt really into bowling... haha bowled a 78 on my first try then did better with some of leonad's advice and had a 114 on my second try. not bad la for a beginner right! hahaha

then we met the cluster 5 people afterward at the area near carrefour there and we roamed very aimlessly till 6+ where we met other cluster 5 people for starbucks, which we had vouchers for, after winning them at gems camp. hahaha lucky the cluster 6 person not there sia, he very scary. hahaahha talked alot while drinking coffee/chocolate then roamed around esplanade and the bay area then went back to arcade! and this time, i beat the machine! woohoo! stupid machine i thrashed your ass sia! hahahah

anyway we are gonna have waterpolo trainings again in the new term! im going to go for some youth trainings, because they are gonna select a squad to represent singapore at junior asian championships or world juniors i forgot which one la hahaha so i just want to train myself and get into contention. hahha i dont know whether i will want to go whether im selected but i dont think i will la so i just go there and improve myself by training against higher level opposition lor hahha but if i get selected then dilemma lor. hahaha

and sailing nationals is gonna start! essentially, ill go for 3 days of school and only come back on the 9th of july. so i kinda have another 1 half week of mini holidays la, 28th june to 8th july. haahaha envious? :P sailing nats okay! my last chance at winning gold for the school. haha it should be tough la, with acsi being very strong but hey, they are strong every year so we gotta make do with that and sail hard! hahaha i know what my task will be anyway... (:

haha and our u20 competition concluded with a semi final loss to national u20 team 8-5 which i played half a match, and aiyah didnt play exactly very well but the loss wasnt very surprising anyway.. haha they are the national u20 team after all. but not bad la we beat the national u18 team anyway 13-6 wahahahaha thrashing! haha then in the third/fourth playoff, we met combined poly (again) and this time we thrashed them like 18-3 because they played half the match a man down, cos they didnt have enough players. haha but we had sportsmanship la so we played with one man staying back during that time to make it more even. haha after halftime belinda ooi from the national women's team joined them to help even the odds (even though shes from rjc) hahaha but we still ran out 18-3 winners. hahha so we ended the tournamenta s 3rd! haha not bad la. considering its a u20 competition... haha

anyway ill be working hard to regain my fitness and leg power! train train train its back to training if i want to realise my dream of winning a waterpolo gold at nationals. hahaha two years ive played b div and two years we've gotten fourth. hahaha maybe its me, but im ready to change that fact.

i have the heart, but do i have the mental toughness?

2007-06-14T18:47:00.000+08:00

TEAM RAFFLES 13-6 NAT U18
TEAM RAFFLES 12-7 COMBINED POLY

hahaha we totally rock! we started off by losing to nat u20 by the score of 4-7, which was very close but in the end we screwed it up. haha i never play that match la cos yihong was there to play the whole match so in the end i just slack one side and watch. how boring! then the next match was against safsa, which i ponned to go sailing training, and they didnt have a keeper so they got slaughtered 21-5! hahaha alex and kennard had to alternate as keepers. hahahaha

then yesterday we played nat u18 and i had to go down and play the entire match. haha i was like really really nervous cos my job was kinda hanging on the line, cos they might dsa a keeper and i really had to put in a fantastic performance to prove my own worth. haha i think i did quite well in the match saved quite a few shots and did myself justice la, and saved a one on one too! hahahah played well la maybe that helped me to retain my job a little... seetow for keeper! anyway its quite ironic that the national u18 team can lose to team raffles whose oldest player is 18 years old and most of us are 16. haha :D

haha today we played combined poly who had the 3 national players in their side, but one of them didnt come. hahaha anyway i think byron is like damn damn damn pro omg i aspire to be like him sia! hahaha hes like really damn pro keeper one on one from wing cannot score against him one! haaha then in the third quarter he came out and played centreman and scored a hell lot of goals omg he is damn pro! ahaha i played two quarters here and not bad la, and i turned a guy from combined poly! we both chiong for the ball i reach first then i turn him omg so fun!

and let me blog about the GEMS camp. i think it was a great experience for me la, not only because of what i learnt there, but because of the friendships and the bonds that i built with others at the camp. hahaha i fit in very well with my cluster and i think we were the most bonded cluster among all the 6 that were there. (actually only got 5 clusters but the 6th cluster is special cluster sia) hahhah

first day was more of introducing us into the GEMS movement and allowing us to get to know our group members more. haha my cluster rocks la everyone is so fun! and our facilitators ally and leonad were both so full of laughter and energy too it kinda infected us all too. haha then day 2 was more of preparing us for the activities in the rest of the days and getting our cluster to work together. and i won a pair of GV movie ticket vouchers! yay! third day was our trip to orchard and we all had alot of fun! our cluster was split into 2 groups and in the end our group won best group award! everyone in the group got 30 bucks starbucks vouchers hahaha and we're going to share wtih our cluster tomorrow! awww so nice. :D

haha then fourth day was our work attachment and i was attached to tangs. it was quite an enriching experience la cos i kinda got to experience the service sector and it taught me quite abit. haha going out of the comfort zone and learning new things lor. then after that we had to get back to republic poly and have buffet dinner then go and prepare some stuff for funfair the next day. hahah stayed till past 10pm then had to go home. hahaha still enjoyed my time there with all of them preparing those materials for the funfair. cluster spirit! and my face appeared in the newspaper sia. hahah

fifth day was the finale, so we all had to go and prepare and guest of honour was grace fu. haha how graceful. okay nevermind! hahaha we had alot of fun talking, enjoying the performance, and i posted some cheem question to the guest of honour just to waste some time so that our funfair doesnt have to be so long. (cos ithought we werent very well prepared) haha then after that we sorta had like a small celebration and had to do alot of crap our cluster were forced to do the banana dance which we didnt do very well la. haha after it all we gave leoand and ally thank you cards (which i bought, thank you very much) and it moved leonad to cry because he was damn touched! hahaha awww :P touching moment for all

hahaha so our journey reached its conclusion here, but hopefully, the bonds that we forged during these 5 days have just been reinforced and will hold for years and years to come. hahaahh the camp rocked!

haha and about sailing, relax la the "oi" on the tagboard. hahaha im kididng only! lol the ij girls all win me sia, even if i cheat and dont round the mark HAHAHA i slack slack slack go nationals i will also slack la. they dont call me the suicide bomber for nothing right! hahaha i know specifically what my job at nationals is la, what i have to do to win ri the gold! haha relax relax man, i think ij girls damn funny. hahah

last training i went, which was tuesday, it was quite fun la, cos there wasnt wind at all so we rigged up our boats and went to slack, like play soccer. then after that we had to do pt which contained alot of pushups and phantom chairs and some hike out drill la hahha but i only did the hike out drill cos i told jiaolian i got competition the next day dont want my muscles to ache mah. hahaah so i laughed at all the guysa nd girls while they were doing and i think everyone hates me for that! :'(

haha then after doing all that pt the wind picked up and jiaolian forced us all to go out. haha the one stop centre guys told us not to go out because it was cat 1 already but jiaolian still forced us to go out. so naturally, i was damn scared. (haha i damn lousy lei) so i saw like the kayakers were coming back so i went to help them recover their boats and slacked off alot of training while the wind was damn strong. hahah ernest and chaixun slacked with me till jiaolian came back then we had to launch with the girls lor. hahaha slack la, slack la!

then after training we came back to shore then jiaolian made all those who launched late have to do 100 pushups! haha but i didnt have to do cos i had competition the next day. haha im some number 1 slacker la no one can beat me! heehee

and after bathing and changing we wanted to get out of saf changi clubhouse but the road outside had a fatal accident! hahah so we couldnt get a lift from anyone at all. so in the end we ri guys had a very brilliant idea, which was to WALK OUT. haah so we walked, and walked, and walked, and walked for about an hour before the cars all cleared and we were like okay wtf hahaha everyone tired already. hahah well at least the girls were singing some songs so that helped to alleviate the fatigue a little... hahahaha then we just sat down at the road side like mangkalis and all of us disbanded and 5 of us had to get to bishan so we waited very patiently for a cab to agree to take 5 people. haha some idiot driver wanted to take us if we paid 50% extra. HAHA SCREW OFF! anyway we found a nice taxi driver and took a cab to bishan, got a little something to eat and went home. hahah woah damn tired.

haha then i wore my ankle out damn badly on tuesday that the match on wednesday against nat u18s i couldnt jump very high cos my right ankle was damn pain. haha but i still played well la hahaha and im damn happy i played well! in front of saimeng too, whos gonna be our rj coach next year. so i hope i left a favourable impression... :D my job depends on it!

haha and thats all from me.. NYP tomorrow!

remember the infamous video that circulated the internet? it originated from NYP. hahahaha tammy nyp ftw!

2007-06-02T23:45:00.000+08:00

hi everyone! sorry for not updating for so long, had alot of stuff on hand lar...

haha anyway, great news for me! u20 competition is on next monday, 11th of june and im playing for rj! hip hip hooray! i get another chance to show them how pro seetow#1 can be. haha i really want to do well but im damn out of shape (literally) and i cant train for the whole of next week monday to friday because of some gems camp. stupid peng made me do it for him damn im so nice lar. haha so ill have to train tomorrow (sunday leh wth) plus next saturday and sunday to prepare myself. not very good preparation but better than nothing lar. after all, i won interhouse waterpolo! haha so shouldnt be too bad lar in terms of reflexes and everything ohwells hope it goes well hahaha.

haha and i start training for sailing interschools already hope we can do well lar its like my last chance to do something for ri. haha i know i cant win individual honours at sailing interschools so i know what my job will be, the kamikaze bomber hahahaha so self sacrificial. LOL i wouldnt mind getting last overall if we got team first, seriously. hahha anyway i just went training yesterday and it was quite fun, whole day training, mainly because large parts of it had no wind.

haha we went there first and reached around 830am (at which point i went to play the arcade machine and spent 4 tokens there, and reached the final and second onslaught before i got narrowly beaten 4 out of 4 times grrr) haha then we went to rig up under hu jiaolian's orders and in the end we convinced him not to go out cos it was damn damn no wind conditions. so we went to slack in the pool and slack slack slack and eat lunch till it was about 1230 hahahaha.

then the wind picked up like siao till it was crazy, about 20 knots like that hahahha even i so heavy also damn scared! haha so he asked the ri guys only to launch and the ij girls didnt have to launch so we were like walao he damn bad want guys to die only the girls dont have to die. haha kevin and eugene launched first and capsized soon after so me, ernest, caixun and jordan were all damn scared so after jianying launched we all slacked on shore till the wind died down abit then we went out haahaha (it was my idea...) lol so we successfully avoided certain death lar hahaha

then by the time i went out, the wind died down totally, which kinda sucked cos i then proceeded to lose to all the girls other than one or two who must really suck if they can lose to me in light wind conditions (considering my weight! hahaaha) anyway after that i really couldnt move so i switched with nathan and i slacked on the powerboat all the way back to shore haahaha i think jiaolian purposely make me switch cos he want slack and he want someone strong enough to pullup the anchors of the buoys hahaha so he ask me. child labour lar! haha

haha anyway i like sailing with ij tp, not because got girls lar (im not that desperate pls) haha but because i most likely wont get last hahaaha because i like to cheat mah then laugh hahaha so my ego wouldnt be battered so badly during sailing training i see behind me got two girls then "at least i beat someone..." hahahaha i guess im easily contented...

haha anyway news news. scott parker is gonna leave for west ham from newcastle in an 8 mil pounds deal. that treacherous asshole give him newcastle captainship give him so many things he still want leave newcastle wth bloody traitor i hate him for life i curse west ham lose the independent tribunal and get relegated to championship. so see you scott parker in championship next season! wahahhaha dumbass!

and on another note, newcastle may be getting joey barton for 5 mil to replace him. or nigel reo coker from west ham who would cost as much as parker but be younger than parker. haha so i guess losing such a asshole loser as parker isnt that big a problem lar hahaha. stupid idiot

haha anyway we have a fantastic manager now!

big sam allardyce!

heard hes gonna get an amazing defender in tal ben haim on a free transfer and powerful striker mark viduka on a free transfer too! omg i really love him please please bring us to the top 5 next season thats where we belong (ahead of blood traitors jenas and parker)! haha and i heard konchesky might be coming to newcastle to fill in the left back void and maybe mario melchiot might come in at right back too! omg i really hope so! hahaah and i hope owen doesnt leave, oba doesnt leave, nzog doesnt leave, taylor doesnt leave. haha they form the core of the team! hahaha and that kinda concludes all of what i have to say. hahaha

anyway, next few days ill be kinda unavailable because tomorrow night ill be staying at safyc changi clubhouse chalet hahahaha spending the night with four other guys - eugene, jianying and kevin. haha what a gay affair. hahaha then monday to friday i got gems camp (which is a day camp lar so relac ill be coming home) and on monday night im going watch marcus' campus superstar recording! haha best of luck my brudder we raffles waterpoloers rule!

and i want to remain a raffles waterpoloer till j2. wish me luck (:

2007-05-19T22:07:00.000+08:00

hahaha shit. my life is shit. really

i am just so much more volatile nowadays, like i get pissed so damn easily. i used to be an ever smiling person, someone who would carry a smile on his face all the time. but now, inside i feel so empty i feel so screwed up. like a volcano waiting to explode.

last few days i was copying paul's work during physics class because eunice tay didnt want to let us off till we finished our physics problem so i showed her so that i could slack during recess then she asked whether i copied then i said yes then she told me to explain it to her so i went to discuss it with daniel lee and bentay then i wanted to explain how to do it to her then when i went up to her she started screaming random rubbish at me and started scolding me by screaming. and i got damn pissed lar i mean everyone is copying you want me explain then okay lar i understand i want explain to you THEN YOU BLOODY SCREAM AT ME. i was so damn pissed i just muttered "anything" and walked off. then she got damn pissed with me and the nextday she called up my mom and said all the bad stuff about me. like wtf eunice tay really is some shit lar i dont mind her seeing this I TELL YOU EUNICE TAY I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR YOU. YOU ARE NOT MY TEACHER, shithead.

so now my mom is very pissed with me after eunice tay bitch to her all the shit so ohwells i care uhh only her folly to believe a stupid bitch lar anyway my life is so damn screwed now she thinks im so useless shit who doesnt know shit and now she wants to do everything to me. she cuts my computer time, my tv time, my pocketmoney, and she wants to ban me from training waterpolo. like come on, waterpolo is what i love cant you just stay off and dont take away my passion? without waterpolo i am nothing, it is my identity that ties me to raffles, to my friends. damn it lar damn eunice tay!

argh my life really damn screwed. then i had to go talk cock some more.

2007-05-12T19:26:00.000+08:00

aha yup we are INTERHOUSE WATERPOLO CHAMPIONS '07!

Bayley 2-1 Buckley

the team:

seetow
tom
weishen
justin
edene
kenneth
wenwei
mateusz
ziyao

i damn proud of this team! again in the final, we fought back from being a goal down to triumph over buckley! hahaha the team that we had come from 2 goals down in the preliminaries to draw 2-2! hahaha im damn proud of our players!

before the match, when i was giving them a peptalk, i was telling them about how this could very well be my last waterpolo match they had better give me their 100% and no less and whatever the result i would be happy, and to fight for bayley, to fight for me. and i started crying because i really wanted to end it off on a good note, like my swansong maybe. and give me their 100% they did. our first team was made up of me, tom, our angmoh power mateusz, ziyao, and edene, justin and kenneth. edene justin and kenneth are sec 2 swimmers and mateusz is a non poloer and swimmer and ziyao a sec 4 swimmer, but is just about the nicest ever guy you can find, and polo is a sport of aggression. player for player, we were weaker. but weaker only on paper. but when it came down to the wire, it was the mental toughness of our team that counted. we had trained together much more than buckley and it showed, with superb teamwork. aha you rock guys!

we came back during the preliminaries from 1 goal down to beat morrison 3-2 (thanks to a superb full court shot from who? who? the keeper!) and came from 2 goals down to draw buckley 2-2. and again, when it realy mattered, our mental strength showed again. after going one goal down we managed to claw our way back into the match and showed them who really had the stronger mental character. and we fought like true men. all the teachers who were there were damn impressed and mr edward ng (a senior HOD) was shouting his guts out for us. i guess true spirit does move people. hahaha

after the match, i talked to them again and thanked all of them for putting in that extra effort when it mattered again and i started sobbing again because for anyone of you who dont know me, waterpolo is my life, its my identity, its my game. and the feeling was just too overwhelming hahaha i guess im a very emotional person! hahaha anyway thank you very much guys if you all are reading this because i really owe you all a big one, for coming down to all the trainings i held, for fighting so damn hard to get us in the finals... (alot of houses thought we didnt deserve it because man for man, our team is the 4th strongest only) and for fighting your guts out in the final and touching the hearts of even the teachers in that final. i thank you all for fighting for this dream of mine too.

ohh and i played basketball too and i played half of of the first two games and we won both then i had to get a good rest before polo so i couldnt play anymore haha we got 2nd! which is great cos moor was kinda unbeatable their whole team ful of basketballers hahahaha anyway we did well! yay!!!

2007-05-09T19:55:00.001+08:00

bio sucks so much im turning to this to kill time

Read my VisualDNA™ Get your own VisualDNA™

2007-05-03T22:02:00.000+08:00

haha its just sad you know, i put in so much, and there is no faith in me. i put it so much, ive loved it so much, its my life you know. and no faith is shown in me im kicked to the side like a little pebble, a little stopgap measure. is just that little bit of faith too much to show? i put my heart my soul into it and it just sucks la, really.

2007-04-28T18:16:00.000+08:00

haha yay we qualified for interhouse waterpolo finals on the 11th!

i seriously didnt think we would do very well in the interhouse waterpolo competition after the rule change and everything but we all fought our hardest, and despite not having the strongest team, only having one sec 4 swimmer whos not exactly the strongest (but definitely the most skilful of all the sec 4 swimmers), and filling the team with sec 2 swimmers. haha so our entry to the final was quite unexpected to say the least, and i think i was quite on form too. and we had a surprise package in mateusz benedict our foreign talent player from poland who doesnt train waterpolo but shoots like a pro hahaha well good job to bayley!

first match was hullett vs bayley. score: 0-4

it was good to play the supposedly weakest team (sorry guys from hullett) first because it gave our team a chance to gel and a chance to get into the groove, to get a feel of the ball. so we ended winning by a comfortable margin of 4-0 and got everyone into the game, starting to feel the ball and pass the ball around. haha highlight of the game as a keeper was when suddenly out of the blue jonny just rammed a shot damn top corner then i wasnt paying attention! luckily i was able to jump and tip it out or else id be embarrassed! hahaha

second match was morrison vs bayley. score: 2-3

this was the toughest match of all, because it pitted our sec 2 swimmers against their sec 4 swimmers, with the school players from both sides very evenly matched. on the bayley team was me and tom, keeper and centreback, whilst on the other team was brian he and shangcong, keeper and centreforward. haha so quite evenly matched but although at the start their sec 4 swimmers came in droves and overwhelmed us, our sec 2 swimmers edene, justin, kenneth and wenwei coped well and put in solid defensive performances. however, they did not count on mateusz who scored from almost half court area to equalise after we had gone down by 1 goal early on. then morrison got awarded a penalty and i was unable to stop jianying from scoring from that penalty. then tom equalised and right at the death, we nicked the win when i just crazily rammed the ball across the pitch without trying to lob or anything, just power it and it bounced quite luckily past brian. ful court goal ftw! and it ended up being the winning goal :) very proud of the guys who rallied from being 1 goal down at each time to eventually win the match!

next match was buckley vs bayley. score: 2-2

this match was the match we arguably played our worst. and we are gonna face buckley again in the final and i think they kinda figured out our gameplan already so we might be at a disadvantage in the finals but heck we are gonna pia! haha brandon scored and ornan scored before tom equalised with two goals of his own, the last coming in the last few seconds. haha and i saved brandon's lob and top corner bounce! hahaha :P our sec 2 swimmers again were superb defensively and completely shut out the people they were supposed to be marking during the second quarter. great job guys!

last match was moor vs bayley. score: 0-5

we had to at least draw this match to be sure of progressing to the final and boy, was this a classic. classic showdown between the two houses who were fighting for a place in the final. this match was a match we could not lose and mateusz made sure of it. he scored 2 goals in the first quarter and ziyao added another magnificent goal of his own to go 3-0 up by the end of the first quarter. by then, things started to get dirty. jiahao started to go on a rampage and started whacking people, and causing people to get hurt. apparently, moor team was quite incensed by the fact that i did not help them pick a ball that was about 2m away from me and pass it to them. haha how naive to think that way... when it is an opponent's foul the very first and foremost thing you should do is to raise both hands to show that you are not touching their ball, if you touch it (at nationals), you get ejected straight away. so i wasnt gonna commit that mistake nor was i about to give them an advantage by passing it to them... anyway we went 4-0 up and i started to slow down the tempo, passing the ball around my defence before it was passed back to me again and jiahao just chionged at me, i took foul, and he elbowed my face, our eyes connected he looked at me i looked at him, then he punched me in the stomach. like wtf man. anyway i forgive him i wont hold grudges because i know that when it comes to a game, people like him are very competitive but outside of it, we are friends. so im okay with it. anyway we eventually won 5-0 mateusz scored 4, ziyao scored 1. haha so we got into final this way.

many people see it as if we do not deserve to be in the finals. but i tell you why we do deserve. perhaps other people are sore that we do not have the strongest team of players but we still got into the finals. we had half a team of sec 2 swimmers, a player who did not swim nor play waterpolo, a sec 4 swimmer and two school waterpolo players. we did not seem strong individually but we played well as a team and we fought hard as individuals, and no one can claim that we do not deserve a place in the final (without lying or being dumb). we played a direct gameplan (my gameplan! very pro right...), played like chelsea (though i dont like them), and won our matches. contrary to what others think, we did not bend nor break the rules we just played by them and sometimes, we were lucky to have gotten favourable decisions by the ref. but hey, not our fault you cant fault us on that maybe its because we play totally non-violent waterpolo thats why decisions go our way most of the time.. after all its interhouse and we are not supposed to whack one another underwater or something like that right! anyway, we are in the final! see you on 11th may :)

and btw, omg i can do 31sec for 50 free! hahaha considering i dont train swimming, nor do i swim during polo trainings (i just tread water all day long), it is a good timing!

hahaha goodbye.

2007-04-20T22:49:00.000+08:00

you know, ive always wondered... two years down the road, three years down, 10 years down. will what i have done in waterpolo here in raffles affect what will be done throughout those years? will i leave a lasting legacy? how has my involvement in waterpolo for raffles changed or shaped the cca for what it is today and what it will become tomorrow?

one of the practices of The Leadership Challenge is to leave a legacy, and i wonder what legacy i have left or what legacy i can leave for my juniors to continue or to surpass. it strikes me that having given up 4-5 days a week of my life for 2 years just to train waterpolo, i havent had anything to show for it, i havent left anything behind to allow others to follow. what legacy have i left or what legacy can i leave?

i wonder, what i have trained so hard for 2 years for. to get suaned by a stupid musical group who get top 20 in singapore while we got 4th in singapore? why, even outram are better than them they got 6th in singapore! why did i train so hard for 2 years?

everytime i think about it i get so damned pissed like who gave them the bloody right to criticise our achievements. by criticising our achievements they are in turn criticising our efforts, our process. who are they to bloody criticise us when we train at least 5 times a week and they? they stepped up their training to a very intensive 3 times a week during holidays WOW im so impressed laaaa

its just insensitive people like these who get me down. just when i thought i was accepting it for what it is when such comments came in that really hurt me it brought back all the pain that i had experienced thats why i so damn hate you you understand or not you retard. gold so what i dont give a shit you are only top 20 in singapore but we are top 4 in singapore no basis for comparison at all.

im pissed.

2007-04-18T22:20:00.000+08:00

i love being raffles! 3 golds in 2 days who says our sports suck?

SEE THAT CO? we sports are more than capable of achieving gold, and this gold is achieved by being the top school in the nation, not just one of the 20+ schools who got gold (according to a friend) hahah go ri sports groups and syf groups!

yesterday, our table tennis c boys won us our first REAL gold of the year, after battling to a 3-1 win over cat high in the final! yaye for those guys who were involved they really did us proud, especially c boys bringing back our first gold. then today it was us b boys' turn to turn on the style, winning the cross country b div gold and trampoline b div gold! hahah come on ri sportsmen, these successes are for all of you! and in sports, if you are in the top 4 in the country, you get 4th. but for CO... even though their chairman pointed out they got gold, their gold is gotten from being the top 20 in country. wow impressive! (to cake: sorry man this last time k!)

anyway nice one guys i love raffles! this is the feeling of being raffles man. anyway looks like holiday is forthcoming from the ever generous mr mag (who is very handsome if he ever chances upon this blog so that he would give us more half days)

and today i went to swim tons and tons at my condo pool! okay it was tons and tons for me since i hate swimming laps but for swimmers its chicken feet but hey im still training myself to have even stronger stamina so i can last at my peak for all four quarters during a game rather than getting fatigued hahaha

2007-04-17T00:16:00.000+08:00

yeah rimb didnt get honours! like walaoooo how can that be.

i think our batch of raffles is screwing up quite badly now i dont know why sports quite bad now even musical groups quite bad. haha co have been celebrating like mad that they got gold (when theres always this prize called gold with honours) but theirs isnt really an achievement considering that gold is shared by like 20+ schools and i heard from a very "credible" source that this year gold standard is like last syf's silver standard. yup. proud for what? suan us sports groups for what? go to hell la you all have no standard no basis of comparison with us. we sports group are top 4 in country top 6 in country. CO? top 20+ in country. OMG IMPRESSIVE LAAAA

today i went to look for the mr leo guy the psychologist after putting it off for so long because like even when i look like im already okay but i cant get over waterpolo. no more dream, nothing else to fight for. and the thing that i fought for we eventually screwed it up so i went to look for that psychologist guy to talk to then he talk talk talk about it well it was rather good la haha i think hes a cool guy! then he gave me some help in trying to get over the loss of the season and stuff like that so it was good!

today's math test i think i screwed it up because i didnt really practice much. i practiced abit during tuition but that was all! haha i spent yesterday studying time staring at equations trying to memorise them and today i spent my time to study staring at those same equations because i realised that i forgot most of the equations after a good night's rest HAHA well so i guess i didnt do very well la. if i pass, id say id be fortunate. i didnt calculate how many marks i lost already cos that would be quite demoralising hahaha

today i went back to train again i realised i lost quite abit of my sharpness already and interhouse is this friday! AHHHH hahaha anyway if i cant regain the sharpness then i let kaiyu play la nevermind i dont play after all kaiyu never played interhouse polo before let him play lor :) im so nice! haha

okay anyway cheer up all rimb guys la you all worked hard for this already the standard of gold is like the standard of honours in last year's syf so dont worry okay you all worked hard put in your best so have no regrets! : D STUPID CO. i think CO sucks (with the exception of cake)

2007-04-12T23:19:00.000+08:00

yups! im still #1! we're still number 1!

bastard.

2007-04-10T00:10:00.000+08:00

congrats rj! fantastic win over hwachong la in the final like totally steamrolled them... 5-1 the final score hahaha and it was mainly due to the gulf in keepers... clement in hwachong goal vs yihong in rj goal... you think who better? now that i wont say of course :)

anyway fantastic achievement la and congrats to all rj players, especially zhizhi hanson nicky weejin sean! the fantastic j1 batch that led us last year into battle. seeing you all win is like winning it myself i feel your joy, i feel your happiness. its just so infectious and i want to have it too!

4th is not enough la 4th is like shit like that dont train 2 years also can get 4th! but hahaha you give me 3rd i also dont want 3rd or 4th to me also same, worthless. i wanted to play in final today la... i wanted to play very very much but then again, we were deprived of this chance because of certain cheats... -----> hint: winners of the tournament arent usually the team with the most integrity.

2007-04-03T21:10:00.000+08:00

it just took everything out of me, everything.

every single year, i have to be strong. strong for what? it was a dream i had, i dream i cherished for 2 whole freaking years, a dream our team fought for for two whole years. two damn years. two damn years i had this dream, to play in front of hundreds of my schoolmates at ccab, to win that gold for my school. two damn freaking long years.

typical. it never happened. luck, lousy refereeing, all played a part. it is tough to always come up short, when you know you have the ability to make a serious impact. its tough to have to be strong. last year i fought for my senior's batch when faith was shown in me and i was called to action against barker. i fought my best but lost and i cried my heart out.

but this year, it was my last chance. i really gave it my all, i never spared anything, nothing could take anything away from me. but it still wasnt enough. maybe its just me, maybe im not good enough.

this team is great. our teamwork is great, our trust for one another is unbelievable, and we just have the faith that every member of the team has the ability to bail another out in times of difficulty. but it just didnt happen, why? shit you ref, whitehaired idiot.

past two days, ive been crying like nobody's business. its tough to accept the reality, that my dream has been shattered. nothing is left of it, nothing to show of it. it has taken everything out of me. i feel like a wandering sheep, lost from its herd and without a shepherd to show it the way, i feel aimless, like nothing to drive myself towards. its tough, real tough.

today, i cried in school too. i went to hand up my chinese essay on "meng yuan", which is about your dreams and ideals and some crap, and in there i just wrote everything i felt into that piece of paper, which really lightened my burden. after that i went to hand up to teacher at her staff room, then she read it and started talking to me about my season. then i started crying because i just couldnt accept the truth that this dream of mine, this dream which i have sacrificed everything for, these 2 years of my life that i have spent just for this chance, has just been shattered. lucky got only two of us in the corridor if not i damn paiseh leh.

i hate being a keeper. as a keeper, you will be the one who feels the most guilt, who takes it upon yourself to earn the team results. you expect that much from yourself, yet sometimes, it is just too much. im tired, im really tired. i dont know whether i still want that number 1 over my head, or is going without it a more viable option. i dont know.

my future remains unclear. and my confidence is broken.

its gonna be a rough time for me this year.

2007-04-02T23:35:00.000+08:00

i just cant sleep. im disturbed. all the what ifs running through my head.

2007-04-02T19:35:00.001+08:00

you know what?

i had a dream... and it shattered. right in front of my face today.

2007-04-01T23:01:00.000+08:00

haha okay sorry guys HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!

gonna fight tomorrow. make them shit blood (oh no this has a sick connotation)

2007-04-01T22:10:00.000+08:00

sorry guys i think i hurt my foot leh. wtf and tomorrow is acsi how!

should i just try to play through the pain barrier tomorrow? i really want to play... damn it sorry guys i failed all of you!

2007-03-31T21:40:00.000+08:00

its the feeling of wearing this over my heart that makes me wanna fight.

2007-03-30T23:59:00.000+08:00

its now late and tomorrow early morning i have a bayley meeting

but im feeling something that i have to blog about la.

.

having been a rafflesian for more than 3 years, it seems so bittersweet that in less 3 terms later, we will all be graduating from this school i can safely call my home. it has been a terrific home to me, dynamic, challenging, and full of people i know and love (not gay okay).

yet come monday, my years at ri will be put through an arduous and gruelling test. acsi. sometimes i feel that my life as a rafflesian is really complete, that my learning journey throughout my entire ri experience has really been great and ive tried to be the best person i could've been to all my friends throughout this journey they have made together with me.

yet somehow, there is something missing from this rafflesian experience that ive had. and that is glory, that is winning back something for the school. throughout my rafflesian life, it has been ingrained into me, into the badge i wear proudly over my breast, that raffles is the winning formula, the one destined to triumph over all obstacles.

and come monday, acsi beckon. and it is going to be no mean feat. i would consider myself as a rafflesian to be incomplete without ever playing in a national inter schools final, in front of a few hundred screaming and cheering boys, just for that shot at gold, just for that final shot at glory for my beloved school.

i am proud to say that i am a rafflesian. i am proud to say that i have lived the rafflesian way of life (including al the late nights and chionging of work and whatnots) and i am proud of being a rafflesian in general. YET THIS PRIDE IS NOT ENOUGH. i want to have something to show for my time here, something i can give back to the school, a legacy i want to leave for the school, for later batches of rafflesians. i dont want this unique rafflesian experience to just become a distant memory in my head. i want to win for the school.

i am one who feels very strongly for the school, and i will do anything within my capacity to get my team into the final of b boys waterpolo, and i know its gonna be hard, its gonna be tough, but i swear, im gonna fight. fight for my team, fight for the school, fight for raffles. its gonna be a hard fight and an unforgettable one. let this unforgettable battle be a victorious one. im not ready to just hope for a better age. i want to strive, i want to fight for this better age. i want to leave a legacy. raffles is what ive loved, what ive known and what i am. i better fight hard on monday.

no regrets.

2007-03-26T23:04:00.000+08:00

im angry.

somebody gonna get hurt real bad.

2007-03-22T20:31:00.000+08:00

okay now i feel like blogging!

yesterday we beat chinese high 8-6 in waterpolo and i played all four quarters (with a slight absence of a minute when i cramped out and brian he was sent in before jiaolian recalled my services. haha not performance from me at least i was stable and didnt let many low shots in... but lucky for me, chinese high didnt shoot many low shots too. haha ohwells woosheng bet with me that he'd gimme 10 bucks and cut his hair bald if i conceded LESS than 5 goals but shit la, i conceded 5 (brian conceded 1 while i was cramping).

anyway it was a really great game and it is really quite a wonder that i can speak so sanely now because yesterday was just ONE BIG CRAZY DAY. like i couldnt sleep at all on tuesday night i just looked up the ceiling and turned around in bed but i just couldnt sleep... TOO DAMN NERVOUS. then in school i just sat at my seat with my mouth open like a goldfish and feeling tons of stress and the weight of expectation. haha really quite frightening but in the end, hey i did quite well so yeah.

anyway, i really respect the chinese high guys! they fought really hard, and so did we, and that made it a great match and a fantastic exhibition of b division standard waterpolo. our juniors were there watching us too so i hope they got some lessons of waterpolo out of that match too... and shek (my junior) said that i was fantastic! well i feel so good now :D

and today i went to school and just sat at my place and couldnt concentrate at all... just smiling all the way and prompted my chinese teacher to say that i looked damn pervert cos i was just smiling at her damn blissfully and thinking about yesterday's match... haha ohwells im innocent okay!

i hope we can play hwachong in the final because the fighting spirit that both teams have is really commendable and we respect one another because neither team "cheats" by playing overage players. so thats kinda good too and we provide good attacking waterpolo so thats another plus point. ohwells good luck chinese high!

okay next up BARKER on monday and we better when this and we're most probably through to the finals... but barker is tough. but im ready.

oh and btw i think chinese high damn lucky they got a cool coach renkai hahahaha i know him cos last time u18 we play then i was keeping and hwachong jc got a corner but i refuse to pass them the ball to wait for my team to get back in defence then he laugh at me and talk to me afterwards LOL

2007-03-12T22:38:00.000+08:00

haha this period is like the apex of my sec 4 life. after 9th april my sec 4 life will just be a drone, i will just be an aimless raffles zombie hanging around after school with no cca to go to. haha i will feel damn aimless!

to me, this is the most important time of my ri life, possibly of my life so far. cos this time is when i put into use all of what i have learnt in my waterpolo journey thus far. subconsciously, this is what ive been working towards the past 1 and a quarter years, just aiming for my own chance to shine.

last year was when i was still sec 3, a greenhorn in nationals, having not played a game before. In our first game i had to play because our keeper injured himself so i had to take his place against a strong barker team and we played freaking well inclusive of myself but we still managed to lose 6-5 omg i was devastated.

i want to right all the wrongs i want to fight for myself, fight for the team, fight to put a smile on jiaolian's face, fight for the school! i want to bring back a gold for the school, i want to put raffles waterpolo back to where it belongs.

and about myself now. I STILL CANT GET TO THOSE LOW SHOTS omg i suck at low shots wtf howwww DIE omg i hate myself la arghhh those high shots im like damn imba but low shots... what the heck la how how how can anyone help me anot.

argh im freaking out. haha =(

tomorrow theres camp again and im waiting for my good friend to come back from shanghai. msn is just so boring la... :(

2007-02-25T19:31:00.000+08:00

haha i realise i like to turn to this little bloggie over here whenever my mind is full of something that i cant get out... and now its polo nationals thats bugging me.

im damn worried. haha i injured my fourth finger saving tom's backshot on friday, so now its swelling a little. what if it gets aggravated and i have to sit out the matches against outram and chinese high and even barker? shit la outram should be no problem so i dont care but chinese high and barker! shitshitshit im damn paranoid now please little thumbie get well and dont let me fret over your health ):

haha i realise that now everything else takes second precedence in my mind cos polo season is coming up. yup this is it. 2 years plus of training prepares me for this period. the others have had a year's training more than me but hey ive more than made up for that. so now's the time man. i wonder sometimes what if we do badly in nationals. im afraid i will be disillusioned, training 2 years plus just to be dumped out of a competition i duno if i would be mentally strong enough to face the challenge again in jc. but all that is only if we lose la. after all, the strong possibility is there that we win also right! hai... gotta get rid of all those worries and frustrations.

ive been sleeping like a pig these past few days, as they say, getting into the groove la. this year is the year of the pig out, so its time to pig out! i slept till 12noon yesterday and i slept till 11+ today hahaha wow damn shuang. and ive been eating tons too im too stressed! i cant study because i can only think of my season but next week has got 3 or 4 tests so im really not gonna make it. someone please save me!

ahh okay please help me get rid of these troubles (: goodbye!

2007-02-24T22:24:00.000+08:00

haha everytime they announce the waterpolo fixtures, i cannot concentrate on anything im doing. last year was the same too! now all i can think is 19th against outram (which wont be very difficult i surmise) but will be a good start to nationals. then hwachong will be our first real test. looking forward to all of that but i cant focus anymore... sigh.

haha and about the "surprise" on 20th of feb at 0000 GMT +8, well ying jie and tze ern (cake!) smsed me at 12am while i was reading a book. then first...

ying jie smsed "HAPPY"

then cake smsed "BIRTHDAY"

so me thinking it was the end of the message, i smsed back thanking both of them! then... they start scolding me. ): call me spoiler some more! scold me on my birthday leh.

so in the end they finished their greeting when

ying jie smsed "SEE"

and cake finished with "TOW"

haha wow how spectacular indeed. lol anyway thanks so much for your nice greetings and for being great friends of mine for the past year(s) :D

haha and waterpolo season is coming up. see i cant seem to get this idea out of my head for just one second! waterpolowaterpolowaterpolo someday its gonna kill me waterpolowaterpolowaterpolo someday ill contract skin disease from looking too much like a construction worker waterpolo.

i want to win it. you all had your fun, nows my turn.

2007-02-23T23:41:00.000+08:00

2007-02-22T00:03:00.000+08:00

2007-02-18T23:54:00.000+08:00

first things first:

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR! yeah the time has come for us all to pig out, to heck care what waterpolo season is coming and just pig out till i become as fat as a certain teacher to have left ri. happy new year to you all may this pig year bring you lots of fun and laughter! haha

and moreover, someone's birthday is coming! 20th is that special day, and i hope you remember who! because if you dont, then what you reading this space for? hahaha 16th birthday very special leh, gives us licence to do alot of things within the law, such as watching nc16 movies, getting powerboat licence, etc...

haha anyway talking about chinese new year celebration on friday first!

i arrived school at around 645am on friday to prepare and meet up with the guys for interhouse chinese new year talentime performance. we prepared and got ourselves damn nervous and everything and we eventually got 4th for upper sec and 3rd overall, even after working so hard. i guess the rest of the houses worked very hard too and the upper sec was really close even though everyone questioned the choices of the judges, but hey, judge got final say la. have to accept it... but had a blast of a time working on it and performing it. hahaha i think my part drew the most laughs when i acted as a malay and spoke chinese in this funny accent and wished everyone happy lunar new year LOL i wore sunglasses (that were my dad's and looked more 70s than anything else) and spiked my hair into a mohawk hahah

after that we bayley people who had performed had fun LAU-ing the YU SHENG that our teacher bought for us and eating all the prize goodies and stuff hahaha that was when the house spirit was really high. great stuff.

after that me and a few friends took 156 to nanyang primary where we wanted to meet our teachers. then we realised that THE STUPID NANYANG ONLY LET EX PUPILS GO IN AT 1330 so i had about 2 hours to burn! haha so i followed carvin to his house which was 10 minutes away and we went there did some rubbish for some time before i went back at 1pm to meet teachers.

spent a few hours there looking for teachers and talking to juniors and stuff. haha im like one of the only few sec 4s who actually bothered to come back la. wheres the nanyang spirit man? after a few hours of slacking around and waiting around staff room I FINALLY FOUND ZHOU LAO SHI!

my favourite teacher from primary school, still old, still shrivelled up looking, still the nicest and most pleasant teacher in the world! haha we had a long long talk about an hour or so about life and her students and nanyang and everything and i must say i felt it was abit like the show "tuesdays with morrie" that we watched last time because its like a teacher who had seen much of the world and spent lots of time in the world, now teaching her old pupil what life is about. continuing the lessons... makes me miss her so much what a great teacher. haha i miss her and ill try to come back on teachers' day and ex pupils' day and maybe next year too! haha zhou laoshi :D

i think its just really great to have people like zhou laoshi around i dont want to lose contact with this old teacher of mine. such a great teacher. haha when i asked her whether i was a big idiot in primary school then she said that everyone was young once and at least everyone remembered the 2003 gep batch of nanyang as "seetow that batch" hahaha WOW

yesterday nothing much happened la went plaza sing to repair my phone screen that keeps coming out before realising that stupid moto repair shop closed at 1530 on cny eve! "£$%£$^

haha after that we went to eat reunion dinner nothing much about that i just got fat thats all and ate some shark's fin and lau yu sheng again stuff like that la

TODAY IS CHINESE NEW YEAR FIRST DAY!

haha drove my cousin from bishan mrt before going another cousin's house. there we played ps2, talked about army, about how to slack army and stuff like that before we went another cousin's house and came back and played mahjong. very fun day!

haha and i won about 20+ bucks from mahjong today so hmm this indicates my luck very good la this year. must do alot of things this year! haha maybe i should get my powerboat licence this year since i so lucky this year... haha

okay wells i guess i gotta go off! i hope that eveyrone who reads here has a very pleasant new year ahead for you! and i hope that zhou laoshi will have a great year and many great years ahead too and that she can solve her hair loss problem :D

2007-02-11T01:37:00.000+08:00

NEWCASTLE UNITED 2-1 LIVERPOOL WOOHOO!

newcastle was fabulously taylor-made for victory as a fantastic dribble by steven taylor (a central defender who isnt supposed to be a good dribbler, but allowed to do so due to the inferior liverpool defending) resulted in him being tripped by liverpool's left back john arne riise (who couldnt rise to the challenge) and earning a penalty in the process for NOBBY SOLANO to slot in the winner past "famed" penalty stopper jose pepe reina.

liverpool scored first with bellamy opening his accounts against his former club newcastle (he was always an asshole) after a poor defensive clearance from harper (wheres shay given whens he coming back!) before another poor clearance, this time for liverpool, allowed obafemi to tap into an empty net. while racing for the loose ball, liverpool defender daniel agger got outpaced by obafemi martins and the poor liverpool defender attempted to outmuscle oba, which is an utterly impossible task considering how bloody weak he is and reina only managed to smash his clearance into agger, allowing oba to tap into an open goal. WOOHOO!

HOWAY THE LADS and we beat liverpool 2-1! right in your face bellamy! ;p

2007-02-08T22:43:00.000+08:00

having a good talk with my junior now haha i was wondering why i heard stuff that he wanted to quit polo and how he quite disillusioned and stuff like that so i was damn worried about him especially cos hes my favourite junior i cant bear to see him get sad one la...

i remember in the friendly against chinese high i got into trouble for telling this chinese high poloer off for threatening to elbow him or something if he held him again and i went to threaten him back which landed me in big trouble hahaha

anyways he is my favourite junior and i really hope he stays in polo. tried to solve some of his problems for him but he wouldnt tell me... until he slowly slowly told me after 2 hours haha but these 2 hours well spent la if he resolves his own problems (: ahh why does he seem so disillusioned with polo and his own skills!

i duno how to be a good senior here but i really want to help him i offer to come back after season to train him but he say dont want so how leh. i feel damn helpless la why la why la i want to help him regain his confidence in shooting his confidence in polo you must let me help you!

okay now still talking and i really like him alot well i guess he agreed to listen to me and adopt this mentality that i taught him so that he wont lose confidence easily. you go boy i want to see you become the star player i want to see you fight for your team and win the gold for the c boys this year. go go go

dont let me down k! remember you my favourite junior :D

2007-02-08T00:02:00.000+08:00

haha okay long time no update

anyway alot of stuff has been happening in these past few days la like the fact that there was no day i slept before 12 and today the same thing happens again. haha so i get tired very easily in school and in training i remember i was late for training on monday cos i was sleeping in class and i overslept even after teacher left i was still sleeping in class hahahaha. so silly of me

i sent my phone for repair on sunday and today i got it back and it functions normally again! yay! and the best thing of it all is that my mom didnt have to make me pay for the repairs because just nice it is the 11th month since i got this phone and it has a one year warranty! hahahaha so thats great la so i wont have to have a forced diet already LOL

today mrs d'cruz our teacher in charge came down to watch us train and she said that i could improve on certain areas of my goalkeeping i wont say what that would be a direct giveaway but okay la ill try to look into it and think about it while trying to sleep to understand it better la hahaha and talking about waterpolo, i think everyone is bucking up already cos alot of people want to make the team for this year b div. people like jinsei and yansheng are becoming very good already shuchin is also very pro now haha but i must highlight jinsei la he is becoming a class act already he is more serious too during training nowadays la so i must commend him! goob job jinsei! hope you make the team (:

i remember last year how a certain member of my team scored a horrific own goal and now its still etched in my mind hahaha whenever i have nightmares about polo ill dream of that shot because it condemned us in our 6-5 loss against barker in last year's opening game of the nationals. last year sucked so i guess we gotta do well this year to make up for the pain of last year and do even better in 2008 in rj... that is if i still want polo and polo still want me. haha duno >.<

anyway i found a picture of myself on bryson's friendster after saving thaddeus' slingshot at the u16 competition and i surmise that it was taken by my juniors during that time. haha it captured one of my favourite saves so i guess thanks guys! haha im quite touched by the fact that he chose to put my picture on his profile and that was the only singular shot of a senior on his profile haha thanks bryson! bryson is my favourite junior :D hahaha

and i gotta go! gonna put all the images back in my phone and go to sleep now GOODNIGHT! tomorrow got training again its 5 times a week now maybe itll be increased to 6 so lets gogogo!

2007-02-04T23:26:00.000+08:00

okay i just gotta blog this haha WE WON TIGER CUP!

or now they changed name called Asean Football Championships

whatever the case, we win! OLEOLEOLEOLE!

okay this is a rubbish post cos im so tired after spending 2 days at chalet and im just here to relieve myself. haha tomorrow ill post a good long one about all my feelings k i just feel so proud again and i see those foreign talent scheme people we kope from other countries them singing the national anthem loud and proud just makes me so happy too. haha

one thing:

TOMORROW ALL SING NATIONAL ANTHEM LOUDLY WITH ME OKAY! OLEOLEOLEOLE!

2007-01-30T23:52:00.000+08:00

methinks that tomorrow circular measure ta for math will be a tragedy.

according to ms johnson, (who has taught us extremely well in case she chances upon this remote blog), a tragedy is one which still ends with hope at the end. haha yes after that tragic and painful process of doing my ta, ill end the ta with some hope that i might be able to pass.

what a tragedy. hahahah

but after i get back my test script, it turns into a comedy. because everyone will start laughing at my marks. and usually comedies end on a less positive note. which will be like this one.

:S

haha anyway this is my 200th post! looks like this blog has been relatively active for the past year or so hahaha its my confidant, my lifeless rant machine, and my drafts contain all my hatred for certain people. haha people should see my drafts someday. LOL

anyway, i love my blog! and fyi, i havent changed this blogskin since the blog was up! haha firstly cos i lack the html knowhow and secondly im lazy to do so so here it is, the wonderful newcastle black and white blogskin. haha

yay 3 cheers for my blog!

2007-01-28T15:01:00.001+08:00

walao what the heck.

life really is precious

2007-01-28T13:01:00.000+08:00

WE WIN THE KAUSEWAY KOMBAT!

yes! OLE OLE OLE OLE!

yay after sleeping last night i woke up still feeling very high. this is one of the greatest feelings man, getting that one up over malaysia. haha i respect the singapore players man, they really embody the fighting spirit that helped us to victory yesterday. haha

my day started off with bayley meeting (AGAIN!) and its becoming a permanent fixture in my saturdays. haha so me tom jerome and will met up again to discuss house day. will very nice came down even though he not house exco member. SO NOW I WONDER, WHERE IS (our last exco member)

anyway we discussed from 12+ to around 4+ then i brought jerome home and we rested awhile before going brandon's house and then on to gareth's house (wow alot of houses here) and then gareth's parents drove us off to kallang mrt. haha we met damien, keeyao, dillon, skoh and ding there before we walked to the nearby hawker centre (my recommendation! haha i used to live in geylang a long long time ago) and then we walked to national stadium.

dillon and damien waited outside for mikey and edwin whlie the rest of us went to chope seats for everyone. haha we were sitting under the unlighted scoreboard, which was behind singapore's goal for the first half.

haha the first half came and went very fast with lots of action but none of the keepers being tested properly. haha second half came and lionel lewis fumbled the shot into goal and malaysia scored :( singapore 0-1 malaysia. but we continued to roar them on!

and we scored the equaliser right in front of us! yay oops im high again! haha i really respect all the singapore players for fighting so hard. and 3 of our best players, the players who fought the hardest, played the hardest, werent actually born in singapore. shi jiayi, precious, and daniel bennett were all born overseas but were given citizenship to play for us and they showed exactly why yesterday. haha they displayed enourmous fighting spirit and grit especially daniel bennett who chased down every single ball and played his heart out for us. a true singaporean i must say

i was very proud to be a singaporean yesterday. when we scored the goal, all of us jumped up together and hugged one another in elation and the feeling was true, it was just happiness that had to be expressed. haha along with the shouting of malay swear words (i didnt know until very much later when i asked them!) hahahaha whoops i didnt mean it okay

and yes...
yesterday i felt proud singing the national anthem.

2007-01-26T23:32:00.000+08:00

i have been tahan-ing a cold for the past week and i think today ill catch another cold. lol today's training started off quite sunny, and the water was really really cold. then it started raining at around 430pm when the swimmers had to use the pool and so we got out the pool and almost froze to death. im gonna catch another cold la walao its gonna be the third time im sick this year lor!

i guess today training was not bad la, one of the best ive had in some time because i had alot of house stuff to settle so couldnt train properly for some time. haha the jc guys came down to play with us again, and when i say play, i mean play.

but anyway today my form was quite okay i guess its getting better i saved sengkong's one on one! haha yay such brilliance for me! needless to say, i have never won a prize for modesty before... haha

tomorrow is singapore vs malaysia second leg i really hope singapore will win! MAJULAH SINGAPURA! onward singapore and crush those malaysia cockroaches under our mighty feet!

im going to watch tomorrow. anyone up for a date? hahaha :D

2007-01-21T22:47:00.000+08:00

okay i really wanted to blog about this last night but i guess i was too tired.

haha anyway yesterday we had bayley meeting at 930am in rj but i couldnt get out of the house because my mom was out, maid was out with mom, only me and my brother at home so i couldnt leave him at home. so i reached rj bus stop at around close to 1130am and walked to the gate.

AND REALISED IT WAS LOCKED.

haha so me being the very practical and a very proactive person, i decided to climb the gate! hahaha actually its not too difficult to climb the gate la because can hold onto the fence, climb onto the handrail, stand on the fence and leap over. haha so thats how i got into rj... before tom told me that there was a camera monitoring the gate. whoops! hahaha die la

so i met them at rj canteen at 1130am and we talked abit about the designs and stuff before isaac came and being the ever helpful artistic guy that he is, helped us draw out our design for our flags. at around 1230am we left to find a cab to get to mediacorp studios to watch our school debate against hwachong in the arena debates.

we reached arena at about 1 and went into the studio while they were briefing the audience. sat there awhile and did alot of clap rehearsals which was damn boring while we eagerly anticipated the match. haha

it started off quite badly for us. lionel lost 0-20 to the first speaker of chinese high. i think the chinese high speaker david koh got style but no substance one la haha his content is like zilch and lionel must have gotten some retribution for booking me last week so he lost his very embarrassingly.

then the next speaker was shiyang. i think that he totally owned the chinese high speaker but in the end only 2 of the judges concurred with me and he drew 12-12 with the chinese high guy. haha the first two judges giving decisions against shiyang.

so we were down 20 points. but all was not lost. we being raffles, the hope for a better age, the sons of tomorrow, blahblahblah, did not give up. even among the supporters, you could not sense the slightest bit of despair. because we are raffles. haha

so team rebuttals were next and we eventually emerged victorious 21-7 in this category with kartik having the best moment of it with a fantastic analogy to top it all off.

then it was kartik against their 3rd speaker. haha kartik was brilliant! in his speech he was clear, to the point, and delivered it with a great deal of style, and hit straight and true in his rebuttals. damn good! haha we won that one 21-7 too to claim a memorable victory over hwachong!

haha we didnt send our debaters lor! if we sent our debaters hwachong would've been done and dusted. haha we sent our non debaters and we still thrashed hwachong's debaters (yes, i asked my friends after the match and they said that they were debaters) hahaha what noobs. lol

i remember before the match they wanted to take opinion from a certain member of the audience from each school and people started chanting my name and i had a damn good one liner which i forgotten already that i wanted to suan hwachong but in the end they asked anish to say and he gave one non controversial one. cheh wasted

haha after that we went to eat and went library to discuss our bayley house meeting and house day programme before going home at 10pm. haha huge day la yesterday...

and today was no different. i woke up at 9 and originally arranged to meet tom at 1015 at macritchie bus stop to go will's house. but he got locked in at home and could only meet me at 1115 then we went to will's house nearby the coffeeshop to have lunch with jerome and we 3 went up to will's house to discuss further about house meeting and house day.

at around 4pm we started painting our flags and after some time at around 6 paul and isaac came to help us with drawing and painting. haha and paul is now quite scared of mr yap cos he asked where was paul yesterday to support the arena debates team and seemed quite scary. hahaha

we painted until about 7+ i think then we went in for dinner and started brainstorming for cheers. haha me andt om eventually brainstormed a few cheers for our new year while will jerome paul and isaac continued work outside. haha in the end today turned out damn fruitful la i think but i still gotta work on some stuff lor. haha sian

okay tomrorow got chem OBA i gotta get my stuf ready (no time to mug mind you) haha may oba(femi martins) help me!

okay full force for polo! i really want to win la. cannot relac one corner already la hahahaha omg "relac one corner sia" is a damn fun slang to use hahahaha frequented by you know which racial group. haha damn fun damn fun. LOL okay its getting late and im getting random

2007-01-18T22:40:00.000+08:00

haha i havent posted for a week now and today is the first time this week im free to post la haha after today's test and my failed attempt at studying for it...

tomorrow theres training and im looking forward to it! i look forward to all the trainings now because its my chance to improve, our chance to improve as a team. haha gotta get our form back and bring our title bid back on track. its now or never for us as the ri waterpolo team. our last shot at glory for ri. this is like a second chance for me after i played last year because hanson was injured and we lost to barker in the first match and i cried my guts out so im determined not to let it happen again this year. i really really really want the gold. anything for the gold. anything for the team. anything for the school.

our team is just fantastic. we've been training together for the past few years and we know each other inside out. we must train together, we must fight together, we must win together. we are raffles waterpolo together. and im determined not to let any one of you down. i am proud to have all of you as my teammates for this final rush for gold as we swim our hearts out, and jump till our trunks fall off.

guys. its 2 more months to the the final rush for us fighting in the name of ri. its now or never, the final stretch. im really determined to do this and i trust that every single member of our team is as ready and determined as i am. let it come, let us soar.

the final stretch. put in your EFFORT!

2007-01-12T23:14:00.000+08:00

haha i think im gonna fall sick tooooo... today (and yesterday) were crazy days in terms of amount of rainfall la lol

today i got slammed in the ear by a polo ball after attempting to save a shot (and succeeding, of course) hahaha and after that i had this piercing sound in my ear haha quite freaky la lol thats the drawback of playing sports la haha got all sorts of funny ailments happening to you haha but thats a small price to pay for all the benefits of sports. lol

and maybe im slowly getting my touch back in polo la after an absence of two weeks and a gain in weight hahahha must be those roasted pekking ducks la ahaha

haha and im very happy cos this year our polo sec 1 trials has been a great success and there has been a huge turnout so im very happy! haha cos yesterday and today i went around telling the sec 1 classes the date of our trials and just trying to convince them one last time to come for the trials. haha not bad la must thank tom and woosheng for coming with me yesterday to talk to the sec 1 classes lol

hah my arms and chest and stomach area still hurt cos it was still hurting when we had to do pt during training today so now pain is compounded by exercise on those muscles = more pain! haha the agony... lol

haha and i like my msn nick now! "what do i think of arena? well... the fact that i wear it on my ass tells the whole story" hahahaha arena is unrealistic and not true to the real kind of debates and is basically just fake and biased. so i like my trunks better thank you very much. my limegreen, purple, white, black, grey and orange arenas...

and i hope one of my best friends gets well soon! got sick today with some viral fever... then i was damn worried cos like you know it can be deadly, as we ought to know now after what happened last year and i was just hoping and hoping and hoping that nothing would happen and walao damn worried la during polo also cannot concentrate properly. i hope nothing happens to you la okay! bless you (: plsplsplsplspls get well soon! it cant happen all over again. pls dont

2007-01-10T23:04:00.000+08:00

haha and about that loss to loyang yesterday. i got no comments la later someone brand me elitist or something. haha lets just say that i think waffles wu's dad must have named him with raffles institution in mind and he must've hated his name so... yeah la i wont elaborate about his decisions yesterday la hor. haha

and today training was quite fun la only a few sec 4s turned up (omg, im sec 4 liao! hahahha) because they had JRIC (damn, im jealous) so we had to train by ourselves and they ended up doing shooting. haha then ben ooi's sister came and joined us and she seemed to know all our names while i still dont know hers. haha i call her "ben ooi's sister" hahaha must be ben ooi say all the bad stuff about us at home la LOL she look at me and asked me whether i was seetow hahaha like siao!

haha oh and another freaky thing. we got new year head cos ms jacq sim go be some character and leadership head (aww, i was starting to warm up to her weird ways) haha he some pe teacher and today i greeted him when i saw him then he was like "hi, seetow" hahahaha and i got super freaked out! haha i thought i was like such a naughty boy that he knew my name already within 1 week of starting work at ri LOL but in the end i realised that he was swimming teacher in charge too and we shared classroom with swimming for raffles trail and i think the teachers were talking about me that day cos i bullshit parents damn well okay! hahaha so maybe thats how he got to know me. at least its better than thinking that he knew me because i was too infamous hahaha how can that be! im a good boy

haha and i need to hand in 3 pieces of zhouji by friday. of which i havent started any and the teacher says need to have 700 words. haha SIAO

okay goodbye

2007-01-08T02:09:00.000+08:00

and as they say, hard work does pay off.

haha and it really is paying off. im feeling so proud after finishing my chinese book report that should've been done during the holidays but i worked my ass off from 4 o'clock in afternoon till now doing this. haha though i slacked quite alot talking to friends on msn hahahaha but hey im allowed that little concession am i not? haha

okay i hope this is good enough and now i rush off to bed.

so long!

and im still very high over raffles waterpolo spirit. pump me with more and more and more every year and thank you all my friends for making that one last raffles trail of mine such a time to remember. haha i love you all, truly.

lets fight towards the gold together this year

2007-01-06T23:37:00.000+08:00

omg thanks everyone!

marcus, kaiyu, weishen, jianying, ben ooi, nigel, joel, yinrong, yuda, jon lim. you guys were magnificent! thank you all for your fantastic effort. you all made our raffles trail a success. truly. you made me the i/c proud of you all. today was a great day for raffles waterpolo. im truly proud to be proud of this group of guys. the spirit is awesome.

they all stayed longer than their designated shift times and worked very hard so that almost every single parent was able to come into the classroom and listen to us introduce waterpolo as a cca. and they all conformed around the guidelines that i printed for them on what to say to the parents. im so proud of them all!

at the start, i actually didnt want so many people around to talk to the parents, i actually wanted a more serious environment and i didnt want to usual jokers like marcus to talk to the parents. but boy he was fantastic! after listening to me talking to the parents a few times he took the initiative and started standing along the corridor to get parents to come into our booth and gave them a talk about waterpolo (that sounded hugely like mine, but i wont complain). im so proud of you marcus.

our day basically started with meeting at the poolside at 9am to collect the stuffs from mr lim. posters, photos, trophies, vcd, etc. then we brought all these to class and started setting up. after partially setting it up, i hounded yanliang for the laptop and the noticeboard. he said it was with mr kwan who didnt come until relatively later. so we just slacked around wtih our almost complete booth and eventually started playing soccer with an old polo ball lol.

after getting our laptop and noticeboard, we put the cd inside the laptop and started watching our old videos of us in malacca. haha and saw my great saves too! hahahaha it was very fun and eventually we got a brainwave, which was to try and connect the laptop to the classroom system and play it through the projector. but we didnt have the key. so i lugged the laptop to j8 to have lunch.

we had lunch at subway and it was my first time in a long time eating at subway (explains my size la. got all the fast foods and i dont eat the healthiest) hahaha then after lunch and burning a hole in my pocket, yet still feeling hungry after subway, we headed back for school.

zhang laoshi lent me her key to open the lock to connect our laptop to the class system but the key wouldnt work. probably it was a wrong key la. haha so we just used the visualiser and shined it on our laptop screen and it was almost as good as it being connected to the projector. haha ingenious ri boys! haha

after that the sec 1s came and we started introducing our cca. we were sharing a classroom with swimming and those swimming boys were damn nasty. they told the first class who came not to join waterpolo and to join swimming. wah that time i got verily pissed and i went to talk to the sec 4 at the booth. he said okay they wont badmouth us but the next class who came they toned down abit, but still had. i was fuming by then so i called yanliang the overall i/c of raffles trail and he put a stop to all that nonsense. i tell you if he didnt i would've gone to put a stop to it. and supported by the rest of the poloers. maybe it would've escalated into a full scale riot between polo and swimming but we dont care. we must protect our own interests.

anyway i think yanliang went to tell a teacher too so they got abit screwed also so serves them right la. wasnt the sec 4s fault i think it was the sec 2s and 3s fault. they got some inferiority complex i think or feel that our display was nicer than theirs and started saying bad stuff about them. then the sec 2 and 3 poloers wanted to go fight with them over that but i told them that i would settle it lol. hahahaha i guess being sec 2 and 3 swimmers they just arent mature enough yet la. haha i can say that now im the oldest batch in the school!

haha i did most of the talking for the sec 1s and introduced them to the cca blahblah bullshit here and there blah blah haha and marcus had a try too. he sounded too unnatural but hey doesnt hurt la. haha he should be in charge next year hes enthu and hes a great bullshitter like me hahahah

then after that we started getting all the parents. any parents that walked past was directed into our booth. haha i put nigel outside to direct them in while me and marcus stood inside. i think our business today was great because of this strategical maneouvre lol so not bad la, at least the parents are well informed of our cca. whether or not that translates into good numbers for the trials is another thing.

we werent able to reach all the sec 1s. there was a huge delay so not all the sec 1 classes came to our booth. im looking into the possibility of making an announcement on monday or mobilising our whole polo team to relay the information to the sec 1 classes during interaction time on monday the time and day of our polo trials, so that we wont miss out on any potential polo players. i was put in charge for this and i want to make it good.

anyway, im really really extremely proud of the guys and i think they have put in very hard work for me at short notice. their spirit was very willing too and i see a new champion batch in the making. they are willing to do this for me and work so hard for me, i dont see any problems we will have with this team.

i love my team! raffles waterpolo for the win!

2007-01-03T22:48:00.000+08:00

haha the last post got cut off halfway cos my mom woke up so i quickly offed the com and ran into my room and acted as if i had been sleeping for some time. hahahah

anyway today was first day of school! and im so jealous! psls all get to interact with their sec 1 classes and non psls had to have lessons lor! no fair no fair i want to be psl! stupid fong. dont let me be psl.

haha and we found out that ms johnson is gonna teach us both english and lit for us this year. ahaha i knew long time ago la cos mrs dcruz told me that she wanted to take our class cos we have 3 polo boys inside but ms johnson already wanted our class. hah i shall keep my sentiments to myself about this la in case any of the two abovementioned teachers read my blog ahaha

and tomorrow ill have to reach school at 7am! that means i cant wake up at 650 like i do everyday lor hahahah cos ill have to raise the bayley flag. cos tom not available he psl so i have to take his position and raise lor. haha byebye to my precious sleep! nvm ill pig out and make up for my sleep in class lol

today i set my alarm for 545 and i eventually woke up at 645 lol cos my mom didnt have a car the car just got scrapped for a new car la haha so i was supposed to take bus to school myself. haha in the end i rushed out and caught a cab and chionged all the way in to the new parade square hahahaha lucky me

haha and today after lessons i went for training despite being sick la haha a show of commitment! hahaha tom say i exco what so i have to set a good example and train hard la so i had fever and a very bad sore throat but i still went in to train la haha and now im dying and i think my throat got burnt by the chlorine or something now its chao ji pain! haha see la! all for the sake of RAFFLES WATERPOLO. what a great and self sacrificial senior i am. haha okay enough kidding myself la hahaha

jianying and i are in charge of raffles trail booth on saturday, the time when we sell our ccas to sec 1s. haha i hope it goes fine because frankly last year the raffles trail didnt attract enough sec 1s so now we have less than 15 sec 2s not enough to form a c div team la haha so theyll go in severely handicapped. haha anyway the planning is going fine we have a vision already! haha the jianying-seetow partnership is a very tried and tested one. we are both in waterpolo and sailing, so more or less we know each other well. hah so lets hope we work together successfully! haha

okay thats all from me la haha

2007-01-02T00:34:00.000+08:00

today is the first day of the new year and guess what? im sick!

i guess the fever my brother/mother got must have passed on to me while i was taking care of them la haha ohwells now its their turn to take care of me! lol and ive started on my commonwealth essay, though not much la, started the third paragraph hahahah i have like no inspiration to write la i just have a stupid headache muffling all my thoughts hah but i have to complete the essay by tomorrow!

haha and now im having some group convo with lijie and edwin halfway during which lijie invited some girl whom he says is some new girl from tuition. hah he moves really fast man! hahahahaha so funny... respect respect. haha and they said theres another new hwa chong guy in class too. so ill have to give more dolls to them! lucky i bought extras. but i hope the extras are enough hahahah

i bought alot of russian dolls cos they look quite cute and um can bluff people that i've been to russia when i havent hahaha instead i bought it in harbin one of the russian shops because harbin is like the border between russia and china already lol so thats kinda nice.

2006-12-31T22:17:00.000+08:00

this will be the last post of 2006.

ahh how time flies. haha i remember it just like yesterday when i was a sec 2 eagerly anticipating the climb up into upper sec life at raffles. hah

2006 wasnt by any standards a great year for me anyway. haha a 4th in nationals for waterpolo made everything sour. worked so hard for it and we screwed it up. we can talk everything about what a great team spirit we had (we really did!) but when it mattered, we screwed it up. it better not happen again in 2007. next year is our year, and im determined not to screw it up. for myself, for the team.

2006 was also a year of change, a year of gradual maturity maybe? haha i feel that i matured alot during 2006, but whether i did isnt exactly for me to judge la. maybe its for others to see what i have done and maybe tell me whether i really did mature as i felt i did. haha

this year was also a year of relative hardship, adjusting to sec 3 life, a flurry of teacher changes at the halfway point of the year further complicating matters and maybe a less than impressive gpa compounding things even further. haha but i hope next year will be better. and i hope i will be more committed too.

2006 was also maybe a reality check for me. i went into 2006 wanting to be a psl, and to make a difference to the next batch of rafflesians coming into ri, to show them the ropes, to inspire in them my own personal view of what the rafflesian spirit is and to cultivate it in them. haha but i guess it was never to be la. still quite sad about it but i guess stuff is just like that la. some things you get and some things you dont. haha i was working for a position in our waterpolo exco too, making myself more credible, as someone to be depended on. haha but our exco still hasnt been decided i think. lol

i guess 2006 was kind of a trying year for me. but maybe its from those trials and tribulations that one can take the most from, and learn the most, to become a better person in the future. maybe la. haha

in 2006 i grew much closer to my dad too. haha in recent years he has been spending much time in china and i only get to see him 1 week every month so we have been quite distant. haha but during the holidays i saw alot of him and maybe rediscovered my dad haha and i now realise where i get my talk rubbish genes from la. haha he is talk cock king lol so thats quite satisfying. i love my family (:

and onto 2007, which i look forward to with great anticipation.

i shall work hard to make this a year to remember, both personally and as a team. with new commitments this year (bayley house vice capt) and my duty as a senior in waterpolo. to guide new sec 1s in their transition into raffles and much much more.

2007 is a great year of promise. i wont set any goals for myself to achieve because all i want myself to do is to try my hardest and do my best in whatever i do, and never to let anyone down. quite tough, but i hope to do that la. and of course, top of my agenda would be training hard and fighting hard for that gold medal that is so almost within our grasp. we know we have the capability but do we have to determination and the drive to cross that final hurdle?

2007 is maybe a year of letting go, of letting go of things, of dreams that would never happen. our childhood is past us already, and though as much as we want to relive it, its gone and maybe its time to face reality. but i wont let go of the gold. its mine and i want it

it is also a year to get to know my friends better, to let become a better friend to others. haha whenever i have been selfish or shown any disregard for any friend's feelings, i hope that'll change in 2007. let me enjoy the company of friends and let them enjoy my company. (:

okay i guess thats it from me today. really exhausted la just came back from beijing at 7am this morning. havent slept since but its okay la i slept like a pig in beijing hahaha.

and about the bombings in bangkok. just read cake's blog and his post on it brought me to see it in a different light. at first after hearing the bombings i was like "omg heng! i was like at that place where the bomb exploded 2 weeks ago!" but now i understand how cake's feeling and im thinking the way he is.

brings my thoughts back to 2006 and how we all lost a friend. how precious life is. i hope 2007 will be one without such but now all we can do is to keep him in our memories. these memories, his smile, his laugh, bring tears to my eyes. but i guess we all have to move on. and ill go take a shower.

and here, seetow wishes anyone who reads this a pleasant year ahead.

good luck

2006-12-21T15:16:00.000+08:00

oh and last night newcastle lost to chelsea on chelsea's home turf. no points, yet full of glory. the loss was not without a whimper, instead, we went down with a huge shout, almost taking a point, yet eventually falling short. nevermind, we live to fight another day! howay-the-lads!

2006-12-10T02:20:00.000+08:00

haha then we had to do a passage about how the japanese women think korean men are all so perfect and everthing. haha see already also want to laugh! hahaha too bad they are not acquainted with ri's very own korean boy, jun jinsei, if not their impression of korean males would very likely change dramatically haahaha

2006-12-04T00:47:00.000+08:00

today the big fish from the small pond went into the larger pond, and realised that he was actually a very small fish compared to the rest of the fishes in that larger pond.

maybe you were wondering who that fish was, i can tell you that i was the fish, the fish who swam around the small pond thinking he was very big and ventured into the big pond before realising how small he really was.

today i started the day by waking up at around 830am and smsed zhizhi before he called me and bluffed me into going for today's youth team match against scotch college from australia. he said something like "if you all dont come down today ill get scolded lor, just come down la" and wahh i really believe leh i go call woosheng go too so he wouldnt get scolded because we all respect him then turn out he lie to us!

anyway we reached there and there were only two keepers, me and byron, a national goalie. hah so i just went there and just watched him play the first quarter and watched how the australian shots just flew so fast but he was able to block them. then second quarter was my turn to play and they didnt shoot much at me i let in a goal and saved a lob. heh third quarter i made a few saves that were quite easy and let in one or two goals.

haha then fourth quarter byron went in again and whooped the aussies again he is that pro la. hai anyway those youth team people (all like 18-20 years old) all started comparing me and byron and saying stuff like "walao he reaction slow leh" or "cannot pass very far leh" im sure lor im only bloody 15 and they make comparisons with national goalie! have they forgotten that they were once 15 before, and that they were this standard when they played?

they say until i also no confidence to pass far already actually can pass one but also dont dare la later get scolded lol haha these few times ive been training with the youth team my confidence has taken a huge whack and it has gone steadily all the way down. but hey its good for the long run la, can learn more from them.

haha but i duno whether i should go anymore, because it just kills my confidence la. help! help me make a decision can

should i continue living as the big fish in the small pond and let my confidence be sky high as it usually is, or go adapt to the larger pond with the larger fishes and let myself slowly improve? confidence is very important for goalie la i duno what i should do...

help

2006-12-03T00:38:00.000+08:00

haha im supposed to be asleep now... but im listening (alright not really listening, but looking) to my friend with all his troubles.. haha i feel that really some people are very uncaring and they dont have any consideration for any other people, even if that other person cared for them so much.

cant stand these kind of people la especially when they do these kind of backstabbing actions... its like so unkind and i cant think how people will actually bear to do such stuff lor. hai... another late night for me la.

actually i was thinking of going to tomorrow's friendly against some australian team, playing for the national youth u18. but then now so late already, better not la later get whooped again.

today i went for the national youth training and got whooped by those national team people who came to train with the youth team. hah they read the game super well and all the rubbish stuff and tricks that i do that work with everyone always backfire against them LOL so now my self-esteem has taken a hell of a beating already hahahaha but ill be back for more!

haha anyway i just changed my layout again! haha i just changed the picture on the left it used to be damien duff (the screwup) but now it is the future of newcastle united football club! nzog is the hope for a better age (and it better be waaaay better or ill quit football forever)

haha okay gtg goodnight (morning)!

2006-12-01T00:15:00.000+08:00

hehe im finally updating!

havent updated in a really long time and now that im back from polo trip in malacca, its a great time to rekindle the passion for blogging! haha havent found the need to blog much because nothing much to talk about and try to while away my time and shirk the homework that is always there during schooltime. hah even if got need to blog some stuff also cannot blog here la

anyway we came back on tuesday evening from malacca and i must say that i was really really fatigued. slept a total of 12 hours in the span of 3 nights so you can guess how i was feeling at that time. hah anyway lets see what happened during the trip...

DAY 1 (satu)

we embarked from rj at around 7am and set off for the second link causeway where we did all our crap (passport stamping, blah blah) and the stupid malaysian official had to go write in my passport "change photo" lor! i look so cute and chubby in that old photo change for what! stupid malaysian official i smile at him he gave me some dao look

heh so we went into malaysia and stopped over at yong peng, where i had been wanting to go for a really really long time. for what? to eat the ramly burger there! hahahah its really nice and juicy i must say hahahaha and we bought a few _ _ _ s at yong peng. i got 007 and haha must say its a significant improvement from last time shows. hah in the previous 007 james bond seemed too pro for everyone already, always so suave and cool, like no excitement. abit like jet li in martial arts movies la haha but at least in this movie his vulnerability came out a little, almost died, fell in love, kena conned, etc.

haha then our next stop was all the way at malacca pool already where we arrived LATE as usual, got me, tom and woosheng mah, always late so naturally we would be late for the match also hahahaha we played kuala lumpur youth team first and my my their centreman is good! but of course i saved alot of his shots la no doubt since i also very good thank you thank you very much and in the end we won by a few goals comfortably

and duno who forget to take photos so bleh no photos for kl match but at least we got to make quite a few friends they were quite friendly la kept talking to us lol

then we checked in at century mahkota hotel where it was actually service apartments and we got an apartment on the first floor of wing 6. we went in and immediately set about setting up tatwai's ps2 to start playing lol

we went out to do all the boring stuff like eating (yes, for once i felt eating was boring) and shopping (im sorry to say i dont share the view that shopping is fun, but i still bought alot!) before chionging back to play what else, ps2 again! haha our room was the noisiest cos like quite alot of people came to play the ps2 LOL

DAY 2 (dua)

after sleeping at 2am the night before, we had to wake up at 630 (stupid wake up call) and headed down to the lobby to have our breakfast. after breakfast we went back and slacked awhile before making our way down to malacca pool via coach and played the malacca youth team there.

the malacca team wasnt as strong as the kl team so we just raced to a few goal lead against them but putting in our second team the lead got slowly chipped away till we faced a deficit lol then we won the fourth quarter (thank you thank you who played well again) and we won the game by a goal hahahaha

i accidentally whacked this guy head when we were both swimming for the ball and after that i apologised then we started talking qutie abit and there, i made another new friend LOL

we made quite a few friends among them all see us all having fun with one another... raffles waterpolo people are all so friendly!

haha me trying to pass a long ball (i think it was a bad pass)

and of course, the perennial slacker, meaning me. hah i standing on the floor again LOL but it takes a certain heightt o be able to stand there you know! it was somewhere around 5 feet to 6 feet deep i think

after the match we went to go shopping and other stuff again before going dinner and more shopping and then back to the hotel for another ps2 marathon hahahaha oh and a picture from our day shopping! wahh i shouldnt have been caught anywhere near this! hahahaha

woah not bad right, the ideal shop for me man!

oh and i reached back to the hotel just nice to catch NEWCASTLE VS PORTSMOUTH though i havent dared to watch newcastle matches for a very long time cos i cant stand newcastle losing (haha i really am a really bad sore loser) but they won in the end! 1-0 win over portsmouth and it could have been much more... but 1-0 is good enough for me!

DAY 3 (lima)

we woke up super late before going for PT in the gym and sweating our asses off before our SOCCER TRAINING! hahaha we just anyhow played and boy was it fun! haha we played soccer in the tennis court how fun but im not complaining cos it really was fun! haha

after that we went for lunch on our own and once again slacked the whole day away shopping and slacking in our rooms doing crap like playing ps2 and for tatwai the day was about locking himself up in one of the rooms and duno doing what (though many people can profess to have made very good educated guesses indeed haha but lets not touch on that how should we say, sensitive subject.

haha then that night i slept at 530am cos woosheng jianying tom and brandon called me to go to their room and we all ended up having a heart to heart sharing session about our troubles and frustrations la haha really great time.

haha i find that alot of people like to confide in me about their troubles and many a time their secrets. haha i duno what i say or do but hey, they all confide in me! haha but yet i dont confide in them... maybe next time my career path shall be some psychiatrist or something or blahblah consultant lol

DAY 4 (empat)

we all had to haul ourselves from bed at 8am to go have breakfast before packing up and going for PT again. then after PT we went back to change to wash up and set off for singapore (by coach la of course).

and so here ended our voyage to malacca 2006. as wise men said, and see tow among them, all great things must come to an end. but lets hope the legacy of our raffles waterpolo b div batch of 2007 will never die, never end. i have true faith in this team man, i can just feel it.

i look into every single smiling face in this photo, and i know that i can trust every single one of them to do it right for us next year. okay maybe not all, maybe 1 or 2 cannot trust. but still, not bad la.

haha aiyah just go youtube search for ali g and sure have comic relief

2006-11-20T02:11:00.000+08:00

hai how could you do such a thing!?!?!

hes like the nicest guy and you could bear to do such a thing...

hah you suck la...

2006-11-19T12:28:00.000+08:00

an update!

haha i went for work last week and now i decided that im not going anymore... we spent like our whole day working our asses off for them for a few days and what they do? they mistreat us. yes, they mistreat us.

my friend he after be concierge for damn long he go take a mineral water bottle with the hotel logo on it to drink cos he very thirsty, then the GM saw him doing that and screwed him then threw him in so lousy obscure department that no one wants to do. filing lol

so i also not happy lor! so i dont go and ive been telling the rest to not go too. hah we go on strike! even paid workers can quit lor, so non paid workers can also quit right! hmpf haha quite pissed with them for treating him like that la

heh anyway, on a happier note, i returned to training on friday after a week's absence working for that stupid place. haha i thought i would perform really badly cos thats what usually happens to me after not training for some time... but i actually played well! haha duno why maybe a break from polo improves how quick your mind responds? haha

and im going on a trip from 25th-28th november to malacca with the polo team to play the KL youth team and hwachong (i duno why must play in malacca lol) and some other team i think probably malacca youth team or something heh

and we are playing the indonesian youth team on monday and frankly, im not too excited about the prospect. haha rj beat them by a few goals only and rj always thrash us when we play them. but thats not something that i should be dwelling on la haha anyway friendlies are to make friends! and thats something i love to do

heh oh and by the way, youth teams refer to teams consisting of the best players from that region in the under 18 category lol so we die

who wants me to buy some stuff from malacca?

2006-11-14T00:17:00.000+08:00

happy birthday boy hope you enjoy it wherever you are.

haha and ive been feeling damn lousy for the whole day from last night.

argh

2006-11-12T00:21:00.000+08:00

haha hi everyone!

today was my work exposure programme briefing at the oriental hotel, so i woke up very early for my standards (at 9am) and slacked around before making my way to the hotel and reaching there at around 11am.

we reached there and just slacked around before we went to find the lady who was supposed to brief us and show us some videos (yes, boring!) and after that we went to have lunch. haha lunch was good and then we had to go back to the briefing room to watch videos again.

the videos are super sian! and they are like propaganda tools talking about what oriental mandarin's 11 pillars of success crap and duno what else it was about hahahaha

anyway after those videos the lady who was in charge of us brought us around for a tour of the staff area and quite cool la never knew hotels had such elaborate basements haha a new experience!

she asked us whether we wanted to watch another video but we all said we didnt want to so in the end she just told us that if her superior asked us whether we had watched the video we just say we watch before then can already so she just let us go home early hahahaha

rocks to have such an easygoing person in charge of you la haha i think we go there just give them free labour only lor haha im in the concierge department like got alot of guest interactions, which is good la, cos im talk cock king what. hah

anyway, gtg! tomorrow got work again, sigh. training sia. BORING!

2006-11-08T22:19:00.000+08:00

hey hi people!

im back from ccal camp and our last two gruelling matches in the u16 competition which took place during camp and so we had to leave camp to go those two matches, feeling tired and dreary and out of energy...

haha anyway i tried to post last friday but it didnt work! i duno why stupid blogger. or maybe cos i tried copying and pasting some crap from this website http://swimming.org.sg/wpcompetition_local-2006_U16.html

haha go read the matches about ri team A vs women's team and vs great white aquatics! yeah ehh i got special mention okay! haha though they spelt my name wrongly...

haha anyway i think that the ccal camp ive experienced these past 3 days was nothing short of inspiring, because its like everyone getting togeter and having this shared experience as a batch of ccals together, and it really shows that we are not just ccas, we are all rafflesians, striving towards that common goal, which is to bring glory to the school.

it really makes me feel proud to wear that badge/crest over my chest knowing that i will do my utmost best to fulfil this privilege given to me, cos its not only a privilege, its a duty too, a duty to uphold the 183 years of excellence that ri has had. haha i guess thats a tall order but i think its good! haha

anyway let me recount the past few days...

monday

was the start of ccal camp. i reached there and got into line and did all those camp stuff like attire check and the confiscation of handphones and wallets (though i kept mine) and went to AVT to listen to alot of talks and speeches on the topic of the rafflesian spirit.

haha i think mr eng and mr magendiran are brilliant speakers, though mr eng doesnt look the like. hes like one chunky pe teacher who doesnt speak clear english, but he has a flair for making speeches and enabling people to like see the scene from what he is saying. haha i really could imagine it. and of course mr mag was as usual the brilliant speaker that he always is, and we polo guys got off at around 3 to go for our match.

i went home and did some business (a general term used here, cos business is something you have to do before every camp) and went off for the match against combined schools. i think we were very nervous or something but we kinda played quite badly and i played badly too like i wasnt totally focused on the match. maybe because of the camp but i cant give excuses la haha

anyway final score 6-9 we lost and i went back to dinner and back to camp feeling damn bloody rotten and feeling like i let everyone down. i guess everyone was feeling the same way and aha i didnt have a good night's sleep to say the least la haha i was really feeling damn damn bad

but i alleviated the feeling la hahahaha cartharsis i went to suan all my groupmates there about my great dinner i had which was long john's (while they had mamee noodles) hahahaha i xing4 zai1 le4 huo4 ohwells

second day tuesday

we woke up and started packing up before they suddenly summoned us to fall in and do pt. hah i got my mc from physical activities so me and brandon sat out and slacked so we saw them doing push ups so we faster volunteered to clear up the campsite if not we would have to go do too because our medical excuses only covered the running part. haha we damn slacker

haha then we kayaked from changi point to loyang there me and weixiang went crazy in our kayak. hahaha we would kayak super super hard until like damn damn fast to near the front, and en route banging several kayaks (not on purpose, of course) hahah and then drift to the back and chiong to the front by banging alot of kayaks again hahaha so that way we reached loyang. haha we also banged the instructor's kayaks quite a few times lol

at loyang we played some games like some game that had one of us leading all the rest of us with a new language that we made up on the spot to navigate through a maze and make it to the finish. haha and other games like seniors planting themselves in a few lines across a patch of grass and we have to cross them to win. haha eventually all the groups won lol we rock! haha i was damn sneaky.

and the last game was tug of war. haha my group got second for that one cos we got beaten by the sheer power of the titus ting and their group even beat the pe teachers! hahahaha and my hand got blistered before the match, how champ of me. haha but all for fun la

then mr adrian chng and another pe teacher drove us to changi point where we picked up our bags and brandon's mom very kindly picked us up from there and we went brandon's house to replenish our energy supply. haha. we reached there and slacked in their living room while brandon went to bathe and his mom brought all the energy food like gatorade and muesli bars and hash browns and chicken pies and alot alot more until we actually felt like we could play against acsi later hahahaha

after that we set off to toa payoh, again kindly chaffeured by brandon's mom and we reached there before realising that mr anthony lim told the guys that the match was at 7pm when it was actually at 6! but luckily we ri guys have this policy of reaching the matches 1 hour early so we called all of them and they were able to make it by 630pm, in time for warm up.

i started the match feeling quite nervous, since it was against acsi and stuff like that. but as time wore on i lost this nervousness and started getting in my stride hahahaha what acs? we went into the first quarter break with a 1-0 lead before briefly trailing in the second quarter 2-1 and then we equalised to end the half at 2-2 against acsi. haha ehh must thank me okay i made some good saves then!

anyway after the halftime break i felt really burnt out already cannot jump anymore hahahaha but i continued to play and they didnt threaten much and we never looked back, just scoring 8 goals without reply. haha i subbed myself out in the third quarter break cos i was dying already and after getting subbed out i just lay on the floor and took in deep breaths. hah camp could have killed me

after the match i was just smiling blissfully and i couldnt even walk properly just staggering from side to side hahahaha but that was really one blissful moment indeed just looking at the faces of everyone and seeing that smile on their faces, knowing that we had done it.

we went for dinner afterwards and went to brandon's house again so that he could get his stuff before we went back to school. haha i bought for my groupmates alotalot of stuff like drinks and chips and i bought for the other group that we always work with group 7 some chips too. haha i was a very popular person yesterday with alot of people coming to take food hahahha

third day today

today was last day and they had pt in the morning which we sat out again. haha they ran around and around and we sat down there talking about last night's match and woah im damn happy again man! haha i feel a true sense of achievement. but let it not blind me, nationals is next year and theres still some time to it.

after pt we had a short talk before we went to unpack all our stuff and pack up our tents. haha in the end some group koped our tent and anyhow packed so they tents were mixed up but the pe teachers didnt care they say they would sort it out later haha how nice of them

we were released at around 4pm and my group had a group debrief which ended some time later and i went to junction 8 to have "lunch". haha a real belated lunch but anyhow, still nice food. haha i miss my groupmates and GIs already!

i think this camp has taught me much la and made me real proud of that badge hanging just in front of my chest. i hope i will make myself and make the institution proud, and fulfil that duty that has been handed to me by my peers when they voted me in. haha

2006-11-03T23:55:00.000+08:00

haha sorry for the lack of updates!

yeah as cake said, ive been playing football manager in my free time, which isnt much to start with. and ive been feeling very tired after my matches for RI team A in the u16 competition.

yup we've been playing in this competition and first day on monday we beat CSC 28-3 or something like that. haha for this match i played first half and had no business at all didnt even make a save. then second half i let brian play and jiaolian say let them score a few goals so we obliged lor. haha give them face

second match on tuesday was against great whites. alot of familiar faces la, like aaron and pradeep (i duno how to spell his name) and benedict and jordan. haha we played quite okay against them. final score 12-2 again i played the first half for this match and i kept a cleansheet then i let brian play and unluckily for him they were resurgent after the break and managed to score two goals although he played qutie well. haha

The final score may seemed like it was an easy game for Raffles A but the game was far from one-sided. Great White gave their opposition a run for their money as they displayed grit and determination in their defence. It was only in the middle of the 1st quarter that Raffles A managed to break the duck through Koh Jian Ying in a rare counter attack move. Throughout the rest of the game, Raffles A’s counter attacking play was contained by Great White’s zone defence. Despite that, Raffles A’s fluid attacking moves in the zone formation created opportunities for shooter, Brandon Chong to deliver from the perimeter of the zone. Raffles A’s goalkeeper, Seetow, had a superb game as he was constantly barraged by the Great White attack and his line was only breached in the 3rd quarter. With this result, Raffles A tops Group A and will play the runner-up of Group B on Thursday, 2 Nov. Tomorrow’s game will see CSC play against Great White for the final spot in the winner pool.

after this we qualified for knockout round against national women's team. the winner of this tie would go into the group of top 3 while the loser would go to the group for the 4th-6th playoffs. haha and we won it 5-3. it was a really really tough match and i think we were really too complacent yet quite nervous because of the weight of the expectations. haha the women were quite good, much improved compared to start of the year, probably cos they are now coached by sai meng, our national youth u18 coach. hah hes very good la.

anyway in the match, i let in an early 1 on 1 from some woman and there went my cleansheet! argh after that i was quite angry with myself so i started playing better and i saved this close range wing shot from another woman and plucked another woman's shot out of air. haha first half we were leading 3-1. second half the ref anyhow sack people, i duno whats his problem. sack them also duno the rules. haha anyway we survived the storm and i saved alot of their shots but they still scored two but we ran out 5-3 winners. and guess who got man of the match? look no further.

Both teams were neck to neck from the start with the ladies drawing first blood in the opening minute of play through Dyan’s quick flick at close range. The Raffles boys came right back into the game and equalised with a Koh Jian Ying goal from long range. Recognising the opposition goalkeeper’s weakness in saving long range shots, Raffles A’s following 2 goals by Tom Yet and Lim Shang Cong came from beyond the 5-metres mark. With a 2-goal margin by half-time, the National Women’s fought back strongly in the 3rd quarter which saw a flurry of exclusion fouls on the Raffles boys as they desperately hung on to their slim advantage. Despite 3 consecutive man-up situations, the ladies were unable to breach the tight defence of Raffles A. The best player of the match must surely be Raffles A goalkeeper, Seetow Shiun Yong, as he continually frustrates the National Women’s attack. Raffles A will join Combined Schools and their traditional rival, ACS (I) in the gold medal playoff.

haha not bad eh? haha yay but they spell my name wrongly

2006-10-29T23:24:00.000+08:00

tomorrow marks the start of our u16 comp and im feeling jittery...

havent been on fire recently unlike prior to the u18 comp so cant really feel confident about it all but hey, ill try my best! we are the raffles team are we not? im just being confident la, not over-confident my dear weejin?

hehe tomorrow playing csc and the only person we know in that team is aaron, the saints centreback. quite pro la he but if all the players are around his standard right, should be able to overcome them. hah havent trained with him for super long but i think he never train with the pro jiaolian for some time already maybe not as good as before la hahahha

aiya sorry for talking too much about polo la but after all tomorrow is our competition gotta gear up for it! must be angry angry angry so can play better la according to zhizhi... haha but i dont have violent tendencies! i am very nice when i play polo.. right? yeah i really am! or at least i hope i am

anyway, wish us good luck! csc will be struck down i tell you

tom and me and the defence will be strong! just need to score a goal to win :D hahahaha the last time i said that i conceded a last minute goal to lose to barker 1-0! lol that was quite stupid

bye!

2006-10-28T22:44:00.000+08:00

haha sorry for the lack of updates!

but my life has really been boring and ive been slacking alot these past few days. and my dad's back so he is like perenially around so cannot let him see me blogging or he'll find out my blog and start reading my personal thoughts... haha

anyway today was youth u18 training! they basically accepted those who went to train with them and basically allowed us to put ourselves up for selection for the u18 team to go to the world youth polo championships next year and represent singapore. but i dont think ill make that cos training with the A div keepers makes me feel really small. hah

i always thought that my arms were super long and i was mr long arms who can just jump abit and save all the shots. till today... there was this acjc keeper chris whose arms were really freaking long quite substantially longer than mine and he is just damn pro also like yihong the rj goalie. so i guess that leaves me as the 3rd goalie who is 2 years younger than the other two and way way behind with alot to catch up

not that im complaining! as they say, if you train with better people, you get better. so i really hope to get better by training with them, not with world youth polo in mind, but concentrating on the b div crown first. maybe a year or two later ill set my sights on that. i know im one of the best keepers in my year la (im not boasting k!) and i hope to be better than those older than me. hah quite difficult though but im willing to try!

my results have been quite okay la, maybe because ive gotten back my better results. one 4.0 and three 3.6s so thats quite okay but theres still chinese + lit + english + maths x2 to factor in so it doesnt seem so good after all. haha my ss got like 79.1 so that means it got rounded up and yays i got my 4.0! haha thats my only 4.0 of the year lol

anyway, gtg. my dad is coming to look see and question me already.. goodbye! haha i leave you with an article to read. click here.

see why i like alan shearer!

2006-10-25T22:58:00.000+08:00

arghhh i cant believe ssa (with the coach of acsi the combined schools coach) held the trials during our exams!

he just took away my chances of getting my half colours this year la wahh wth how can he do that! especially when he held the trials during the time when all the other schools were like finishing their exams while we were about to start so at that time only acsi were able to attend the trials.

how smart man. bloody biased lor arghhh my half colours!

anyway yeah i decided im going down for trials on saturday cos i really want to make it! but its damn damn difficult and i heard they have alot of keepers who are older and probably stronger than me too, and maybe more skilful too. so it would be very difficult, so no pressure! haha

we playing u16 match on monday against CSC (chinese swimming club) and i hope we win! if we top our group of CSC and Great White then we'll likely play women's team or ri B team in the semis which we should win easily and progress to the final against combined schools (MY HALF COLOURS!?!?!!)

today was our interclass soccer quarter finals against 3D which we were widely tipped to win, but only ended winning by the skin of our teeth. haha it all went down to penalty shootout, and i felt that i didnt have the composure then to take so i didnt take a penalty haha but in the end we still won 3-2 on penalties after much controversy.

today like got alot of rioting and stuff like that la especially the express guys they crazy one every time a gep class is winning they'll start shouting and hollering vulgarities and referee kayu and shit like that. hahahaha anyway i dont understand whats going on about express and gep and whatnot because everyone will eventually be together right, even though our batch will have the last batch of geps in ri.

maybe itll do the sec 2s and sec 1s and future batches of ri to be mixed instead of being se and ge because it wont cause such a divide to happen and make our ri community more united and cohesive. hah anyway today penalty shootout between 3C and 3M (3M is a gep class) which 3C won, i was supporting 3C even though im a gep and the rest of the geps supporting 3M. haha for the simple reason: 3C isnt as good as 3M so id rather play them hahahahaha heck care what gep express divide we want to win!

today i played the whole quarter final match against 3D and more or less we werent troubled by them la they were content to sit back and hit us on the counter attack which broke down fairly fast and there were a few controversial moments like when gareth struck a sweet shot that dipped just over the bar and the ref said goal then everyone was so shocked before i started shouting goal and making everyone celebrate with me hahahahaha but in the end not counted cos they argue argue until no goal! hha waste my energy celebrating for nothing hahahahhaha im a bloody liar

anyway, wish us luck for our u18 trials and u16 competition!

2006-10-25T00:09:00.000+08:00

ahh ssa damn evil!

they held trials for combined schools u16 team during our exam period! wahh wth im sure lor how can like that! i want to play for combined schools i want i want! but then again, playing AGAINST ri would be really weird and jiaolian would make them expose all my weaknesses (though there are none)

but at least the trials for u18 youth team is coming up! u18 is kinda beyond me but im gonna try nonetheless cos its my dream to play for the national team someday and must get into the youth team first before being considered for the national team so yeah... but im only 15 playing against 17 or 18 year olds so i guess itll be really difficult so im not expected to get in. no pressure no pressure!

anyway thanks zhizhi for telling me the trial date cos ive been bugging him since start of the year to inform me whenever the u18 squad is accepting any newcomers to the squad and holding tryouts so i guess this my chance lor... haha i told tom, bra, jian, woosheng, shangcong and tatwai about it already i guess they should be going down, ri power! haha

and tomorrow is interclass quarters + semis + finals! haha i hope our class can win it, cos its quite possible la. haha must get physical and start whacking people, as they say, you make no friends in sports. the hcjc people must be thinking the same thing when they elbowed yinrong and played so without sportsmanship i just had to retaliate right! ahh okay im sidetracking lol

and today i just installed football manager 2007, this new cool game that carvin gave me and boy is it fun! haha but just not fun enough to get addicted, so that means wont be too bad la haha its the game when i can realise my aspirations for newcastle when i be their manager, unlike the idiot whos managing newcastle now and help them win.

im a dreamer, and my star sign is pisces which is supposed to be a dreamer too. haha i have huge aspirations and dreams that i strive to achieve but sometimes are too difficult and beyond my capability to achieve. but i really hope to start on the first step towards realising my waterpolo dream and make the u18 team. i really really hope and i havent wanted something so much since the gold for this year national interschools polo which we didnt get

best of luck to all the ri guys going down for trials!

2006-10-23T23:01:00.000+08:00

haha today was interclass soccer and i played! i played the first game, which was the only game our class won... must be due to me thats why we won then i slack the next two games we drew and lost la i admit, my fault that i didnt play more hahahahaha EGO

our first match was against 3E and boy did we get off to a great start! we kicked off and ding laid off to gareth who shimmied and faked abit before shooting straight at shuchin who couldnt keep it out hahahaha damn bully! then right after that they kicked off and we stole posession ding headed us 2-0 up within the first minute! hahahaha

but after that they regained their composure and slowly came back into the game though they didnt have decent chances (due to a very good defender, thank you thank you) and im proud to say that i made a successful dive! (a dive is a fake fall to get a foul) haha dont know why im so proud of it, just cements my status as a conman hahahahaha

anyway, i gained my inspiration from this great defender, who is also the england u-21 squad captain

steven taylor! of a great club you might say...

dont you think he looks like mark from westlife?

there here is mark. haha looks super like right!

actually today trying hard to be happy la. today is the 49th day since his passing and its an important day according to do chinese/buddhist doctrines and reading my friends' blog brings back memories of him, painful ones, yet it is better than not remembering.

ahh today when i was watching 3R win their matches it came to my mind that he would have enjoyed playing for them and helping them win. i guess it wasnt meant to be, but i hope everything happens for a good reason and i hope that he is better off somewhere else then he was with us.

missing you and remembering you

2006-10-22T22:21:00.000+08:00

haha tomorrow is interclass soccer!

and for the first time in my time in ri, i wont be starting for my class! awwww so sad :( haha anyway i dont really like playing soccer anymore. havent played during recess or lunch since like a few eons ago, since our competition period 7 months ago when i stopped playing soccer so much in case i got injured cos i key player la (thank you thank you) so cannot get injured

haha and also good la. our competition starts on monday and me being such an important player (yes, thank you thank you again, my ego is constantly getting inflated) i shall play very carefully and in soccer, a conservative player is a lousy player. so i shouldnt play so much la later hai my class lose

hehe and not bad la cos our class no muslims but other classes have! haha the muslims sure no energy to play properly cos their ramadan fasting month ends on tuesday and we have interclass soccer on monday so not bad la can outlast them

anyways i think our class can win! we really really got quality this year

and on a side note, our polo team has got lots of quality too!

so i hope we can win on both fronts and make it a good few weeks for me :D

2006-10-22T16:50:00.000+08:00

hehe okay now im bored enough of going crazy to blog about what has happened to my dull boring life this past week or so...

haha its ironic because during exams i really wanted to blog and let out everything (but i didnt) and after exams i dont feel like blogging already! the desire has deserted me... heh i think blogging is therapeutic

anyways, last week was exams. first day was ss and english, which wasnt exactly very good. heh english they said there were a few topics they would come out, one on international issues, one on generic, and one on local issues. so i thought about the local issues... only have casino right? WRONG. hahahaha i prepared for casino and didnt come out but i did the generic question on winning or losing is better so thats that la. haha i always write about things i dont believe in! i wrote that losing is better than winning hehe and ss was so-so la you never know till you get it back

after that was a weekend, a really really long and tiring one. haha and on monday was chem and chinese, which were both killers. our chem teacher told us dont worry la if you can do your practice paper you can do it la MY FOOT man he conned us! it was how difficult lor im gonna die for that one! anyway should be able to maintain 3.6 la and for chinese the cloze was freaking difficult i jumped words every few words because i didnt understand it and the options they gave were so close! stupid cheeeeena teachers

and tuesday i didnt go school maths exam cos i mugged till like 3am at night and did all the crappy practice papers and revision questions before i went to sleep. then i woke up with a huge migraine and went back to sleep again. damn suay right! i mug so hard for it and didnt even take it! then worst of all i was sick so cannot mug for physics and bio the next day! and they are like ultra mugging subjects so DIE hahahaha

wednesday was physics and bio so expectedly, im dead! physics and bio should be 3.6 la i hope... 3.6 is a wide range 10 marks difficult to drop and rise lol so for this exam im lucky la hahahaha now i know already cannot mug maths till so late! haha

and thursday was my favourite day of all the exams! haha lit in the morning and i lost my lit book so goodjob la haha but i prepared alot of crap already in my other books so in actual fact i wrote my essay on Lear and Gatsby but the only book i opened was Oedipus Rex cos all my notes were inside lol lit is another subject when you can think you done well but come back can get marks like 13/25 and when you think you done badly you can get back marks like 19/25

hehe and friday i went training with tom, woosheng, jianying, kaiyu, yinrong and chee. we played soccer first and then went training (self training leh, so hardworking!) and during trianing we played truth-or-dare penalty shootouts when the guy who scores the least penalties out of 3 must play truth or dare, truth only if not run the risk of getting taupoked hahahaha

so i was keeper first and so i was safe la and didnt lose, yinrong lost the penalty shootouts and he had to answer a question but we didnt know what question to ask him so we just let him off. hahahaha and second round i wasnt keeper i was shooting and i didnt lose! hahahaha so the keeper does have some shooting prowess too! and i whacked in one shot off the post too freaking nice! hahahah that round chee lost and we asked him "name a girl you have ever liked" but he said he never liked a girl before... heh what a cheeeeeter and obviously a liar. anyway we were lazy to taupok so we POSTPONED it till when more people are around hahahahaha

after that i went kk to see the specialist for my flat feet then he recommended some CT scan thingy... just out of exams and into another kind of CT wahh so sian! hahaha after that i went home got changed and went to play soccer again. heh i bet i inhaled enough haze on friday to last me a lifetime already la

and yesterday i followed my mom out to go shopping! hahahaha me and shopping obviously dont mix. remember, im someone who got lost in orchard road before. anyways, haha i followed her out and made myself useful by carrying all her stuff lol then we went suntec city and she went some timberland sale and got me a pair of comfortable loafers wahh so nice :D

and today, we went shopping again. zzzzzzzzzzz hahaha if i follow my mom around everyday sooner or later ill become some shopping pro la i tell you! haha

anyways, another competition is coming up! we only knew about it on friday when i saw mr anthony lim then he told me so i went to tell the rest about it. our first match of u16 is next monday 30th october so i really hope we'll do well! haha i heard acsi is playing too, which is kinda weird cos they usually like to hide their players before national interschools in april. heh maybe they think they are outright winners already la.. DREAM ON MAN complacency killed the cat (or was it curiousity? aiyah same la)

of course, they have a national u18 centreman who will be 1 year older than us next year, and the champion team of their c div batch la. but then again, we dont need fear them. cos we have the runers up team of our c div batch, and a brilliant keeper (me la of course) hahahaha

i really hope we do well and beat barker too! i have never won a competitive match against barker before! ive played them four times in friendlies and we've beaten them in all four but two competitive matches against them and we lost by a single goal each. as they say, third time lucky! i hope to banish our demons against them la

wish us good luck! bye

2006-10-19T22:48:00.000+08:00

heh lit was some proded thing today cos last night i realised that I HAD LOST MY GREAT GATSBY TEXT! hahahaha goodjob to me man lol

anyways, i koped paul's essay for reference on the issue of sight and blindness and it really came out! haha duno how ill do i think i wrote abit too much and like out of point, but i cross my fingers la haha

after that we went to watch "the prestige" at j8 GV and i must say, it is really good. plot was really intriguing and there were other parts of it nice too la, like the contraptions, and the tricks this kind of stuff. heh after that went ri to play soccer again and i went home and realised we played soccer in like haze psi 113 so thats quite bad... but hey i dont care!

haha anyways, my mother TEMPER now so gtg! blog some other time...

2006-10-13T23:17:00.000+08:00

cheh haze still stagnating la i think it wont come back already

there goes my hopes of missing all the more difficult papers...

anyways today was english and ss, and IR didnt come out, even though i prepared for it. i thought like woah local issue surely IR but they gave us something about internet or community service crap to write about and the international issue was about 911 and after effects or something so i didnt do that. and i ended up doing the generic issue, about how losing has greater value than winning. haha just gave alotalot of examples about stuff la so i guess that was okay

then ss. haha during the break i koped paul tern's notes (he prepared for the question which was heavily hinted by ss teachers) and read through all of them and used all the points in my structured essay question (yeah, that topic came out) so the essay was okay. then there was source based question and i didnt do that well for the second sbq because i didnt write tone and purpose. so there goes my marks... probably my ss 4.0 too! haha

dont care la. and i think our english teacher now not as good as our first semester one lor. i got like 3.2 for english this semester! and i think i put in more effort this semester than the last. wahh i want ms then back! i got 68 only leh... :(

anyways, i should stop blogging la. take up too much time so i think from tomorrow onwards i will decommission (word that was used extensively in ss) my blog and go on a hiatus till thursday! haha

and i think this chainmail is really nice...

ahh finally blogger can work!

anyway, tomorrow marks the start of the eoys! starting off with ss and english first. and what a good omen, it starts tomorrow, friday the 13th. and according to leoson, the end of obs was friday the 13th too. hah okay nevermind random comment.

haha i predict that tomorrow's expository essay the local issues question option might be on IR so ive prepared quite extensively for that topic so if that topic doesnt come out im gonna get real mad and do something. like hit myself on the head for being so dumb

and ss i mugged for a question that janus lim said is important!!! so i hope it does come out and that part about it being important is a major hint. hah i hope i hope "discord and strife will continue to peril in NI" this question will come out in the paper! i must go and do alot of good deeds to my brother now like stuff him with sweets so that a good turn deserves another and i can have the questions that i prepared for. hah

okay, thats all from me today! i miss talking to people now everyone is so stoned on msn and i also very stoned cos i reading wikipedia about crap on northern ireland which has my ire (courtesy of cake, the new lame-o king!) i bet he needs a wheelchair for being so lame

In intellectual pursuit, I shall reflect discipline and passion for learning and in personal conduct, I will uphold integrity and regard groups, individuals and communities with kindness and respect and in so doing, uphold the Rafflesian Principle of Honour.

i duno, i just felt like posting that. hah we are thinkers, leaders and pioneers are we not? ri already equip us with pioneer already (ri projectors some are pioneer brand) so we must now be thinkers and leaders too!

may IR and discord and strife in NI come out! haha

and i think ill stop blogging from tomorrow and continue after eoys.

2006-10-11T23:39:00.000+08:00

ehh tom get well soon! or maybe you come to school can pass to me.

heh the haze doesnt seem like its gonna do what its supposed to do, so have to use plan B. burn down the new ri boarding block and along with the half completed canteen and hall and contribute to the air pollution! haha

ahh anyway im quite tired la. yesterday slept at 130am again doing stupid lit formative essay before eoys and it was kinda crappy but i dont care >< and im still very stressed out by my work. i think cannot finish revising and bio is just one big screwed up subject with a very rubbish teacher! and chinese... rubbish teacher with a lousy attitude. looks like these two subjects will just be rubbish. ahh im in a very irksome mood now

ahh anyway i think that gay idiot that i was talking about in my last blogpost is really some dodohead who really thinks he very *cool* leh. somehow someone should wake him up. maybe it should be me. i can be very mean when i want to and i still getting pissed off at him la haha but its okay, we should all give chance to people less fortunate than us.

ahh anyway, stupid idiot. wont talk about him anymore. big flirt some more, and a suck up. what a loser and a poser, yet still a failure in cca. tsk

i bet everyone must hate reading my blog posts la i promise to blog about something happier tomorrow! haha

anyway, on a side note, today's soccer during pe was fun! yeah we had like 5 on 5 soccer and i think we won something like 4-2 haha one of the most fun games of soccer i've played recently (i havent played much)

hah anyway, goodbye. im tired! and i slept during chinese lesson for the first time in like a few months? haha anyway boring chinese lesson with nothing to learn and a stupid teacher, cant help it la since the teacher is biased against me too and like to nag at me and say i childish or some shit. lol see who is the childish one la

2006-10-10T20:54:00.000+08:00

yes, the psi is rising!

slowly but surely come on you can do it yes yes yes reach that magical number of 200 by thursday! then they will suspend school on friday and hopefully it stays at around there till like december so they cant possibly force us to take cts anymore! haha

anyway, rant ahead. so if you dont want to read, dont.

today was like a totally crappy day with nothing fun at all!

anyway tomorrow has pe so hopefully itll be nice... haha and i think some suckers should just lay off man, especially big suck ups. trying to act cool, trying to be funny, and end up being damn bloody extra and irritating. you know, like just go somewhere and go find your own source of screwed up entertainment la if you think you are cool or funny. hah then im santa claus la you stupid irritating boy (ohman i think my vocabulary is relatively limited...)

i hate people like that la especially suck ups! talk before they think, dont consider what others would be feeling. damn inconsiderate la, to think you're like same _________ as me. huh you tarnish our name with your inconsiderate acts of stupidity. maybe you will someday see that you are not welcome here and go suck up someone else's backside. sick and tired of you man so cant you just like shut it for a while? stupid idiot

anyways, sorry for the ranting. no one to rant to la so this poor little blog has to take all the crap that i feel when the inconsiderate bugger does anything that is befitting of his intelligence and moral character. feeling quite pissed off now.

hah anyway i have to complete a lit essay by tonight so i gues ill be up late again (for the umpteenth time this week) lol i guess ill have to sleep early on thursday la to have proper concentration for the papers. lol

ahh anyway wish me luck ><

2006-10-09T20:40:00.000+08:00

heh i finally got a photo of myself in my ah ma (female, obviously) dress at lit parody and im gonna upload it! at the end of the post of course... i wouldnt want to chase away people reading this blog by posting my picture at the top! hahahaha

anyways the haze is building up again! haha thats always a good sign! haha now its back up to 100+ already and i can show you all my email to moe! hahahahaha this was the short email i wrote to moe:

Good Evening Sir/Madam

I am a student currently schooling in Secondary 3 and I believe that the haze will severely affect the health of myself as well as my fellow students. I believe it is in our best interests that school be suspended till the haze gets significantly better as health is of utmost concern to us. I would like to cite an example in 1998, when the haze conditions reached a PSI of 200 and schools were forced to suspend all activities till the condition improved, and thus I would like to hereby appeal to the MOE to seriously consider suspending school as the PSI has just crossed 150 and I have every reason to believe it will continue ascending. Sincerely, SY See Tow.

and this is the reply i got back:

Dear Mr See Tow,

Reference: 2006/10/187623

Thank you for your feedback and suggestion. We noted your concerns and would like to inform you that MOE has SOPs in place on the Haze situation. Please approach your school should you need further clarifications.

Best Regards,

Leslie ONG

Ministry of Education for PERMANENT SECRETARY (EDUCATION)

hahaha that is like super anti-climax! just say got solutions and as if ill go and ask my school lor anyway i hope haze reaches 300 so school MUST stop! and so must eoys! hahahaha =p

anyway hahaha i wrote more letters too! to stforum and stomp though i doubt theyll get published since i anyhow wrote and i took just 5 minutes so no hard work into it. hah here it is:

(address)

5 August 2006

Re: Closing down of schools due to extreme hazy conditions

Dear Sir

Singapore prides itself as a country which puts the welfare of its citizens first and foremost on its agenda, and in this letter I would thus like to sincerely request that the Ministry of Education (MOE) strongly advise schools to temporarily suspend all activities, for the students’ health.

This is the first step in helping Singapore cope with the extreme haze conditions that we are now witnessing in Singapore. Recently, the haze has just exceeded the PSI 150 and I believe that the move of suspending school will ensure the safety of most students by encouraging them to stay home and not inhale the mildly poisonous fumes caused by slash-and-burn farmers in Indonesia.

I vividly remember an instance in 1998 when the PSI crossed over the boundary of 200 and all schools were suspended. I believe that the time has come again for the MOE to act as the health of our students would be severely at stake if we were to continue allowing schools to run. I sincerely hope that the MOE will consider this and I believe that this move will go far in ensuring that the students breathe in minimal amount of smoke in this current hazy condition.

Sincerely,

See Tow Shiun Yang.

haha ahh okay i shouldnt be spamming my blog with funny letters hahahaha anyways, today was a fun day! we went to bishan library after school and went to mug (yes, mug!) and tom came so late! he must really be lacking in stamina la he hahaha okay nevermind inside joke lolol

hah i have nothing much to say already. so now the picture.

heh i know i > ms world la thank you very much =D

2006-10-08T20:40:00.000+08:00

noooooooooooooo the haze is clearing up!

hah anyway for anyone mugging chem redox, this is a really really good website. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/redoxmenu.html#top

but i cant believe it! the haze is clearing up! after all those letters i wrote to stforum, stomp and even moe! then now the haze is clearing up! wahhhhh i feel so suanned. yesterday i wrote letters to stomp, stforum and moe about suspending school for the time being while the haze condition improves but noooo it has improved! go indons you my best friends go and burn more trees! or those rj people i know who take finish promos already just go burn all your notes and create more haze!

wahh im feeling so letdown by the stupid haze! yesterday i looked out i couldnt even see the pillar in front of my window! oh but wait, i just remembered. when i looked out then, it was nighttime. okay never mind that. haha really leh yesterday was super bad it went above 150 and today it dropped to a measly 28? that really is wrong man come haze come and chase our eoys away!

heh today was a superbly beautiful day with nice weather and everything and best of all, i didnt get to go swim! (again!) my maid had her offday today so i had to take care of my brother and he was asleep at 4-6pm like that so i couldnt go swim at all! ahhhh nooooooo why like that! the weather is purposely suanning me la lol

haha anyway today i studied chem almost finish im gonna wrap it up by tonight! mole, acids bases salts and redox all okay liao i more or less understand all the crappy ideas already la haha and cake say hes lending me his bio notes! yeah haha good cos our teacher doesnt give us much relevant notes... lol he is courting trouble. hahahahah (his surname is court) send him to brokeback mountain la!

haha i think im getting high over mugging! but i dont think ill actually remember what i mugged. hah this is a first you know, actually feeling okay about mugging instead of just going to play with my polo ball or go for a swim or stuff like that lol

anway let us do the haze dance and wish all the haze back!

haha then down with eoys! down with school! go indons burn more more!

2006-10-07T21:08:00.000+08:00

friends.

haha i koped this picture from slau's blog, and it really is apt!

and this is the third time im blogging today, a sure sign of boredom.

hah chem really does suck and i think my nose is numb from aircon.

2006-10-07T19:11:00.000+08:00

ugh im so sick of aircon! ive been blasting it all day long...

if aircon makes you stupid, or causes amnesia, i guess i am pretty much screwed for eoys! hahah but i dont think it is right..? i need to have some fresh air! but stupid air is just so polluted that i cant even go for a nice swim at the pool downstairs. oh man this really is killing me!

heh stupid indons move your country to somewhere else!

and i really miss doing this:

i bet my skin will be super white after eoys! or... maybe not.

2006-10-07T18:41:00.000+08:00

today im feeling really really random

havent stepped out of home at all cos like the skies are super hazy and i cant go swimming today! havent gone for some time already and all the muscles (muscles? what muscles?) are all turning into flab =D lol stupid haze! stupid indons burning down our trees to sabo us and give us haze.

hah anyway thinking about them burning their trees and causing wildfires makes me think of the song "we didn't start the fire" by billy joel on the issue of conflict and how although we did not start the conflicts, we must try our best to resolve it, and not to fuel it. we went through this song during ss lesson some time ago. haha

the indons cant say that they didnt start the fire! cos they did! anyway, got nice video of someone making a random video with the soundtrack and uploading it on youtube. hah looks like the kind of video i would make since its just filled with a whole load of crap hahahaha

stupid haze! i want go swim also cannot. need to keep fit you know, in these times of exams. training suspended for a week already and my body feels so rusty all the time. like need to go and exhaust it before it feels better (kinda ironic right) hah i miss the adrenaline rush. i bet when we go back to train after eoys we'll be super lousy

hah anyway, here's an adaption of "we didn't start the fire", performed by hossan leong at talkingcock in parliament. genius

hah i somehow thinks he resembles jotham. i regret missing the parody thing only because of one reason, that i couldnt watch jotham acting as a female lead role again. he really is good! much better than yours truly being regan hahahaha

oh no i think this post really is quite random and im just too bored and not talking to anyone so im just talking to my blog. hahahha

ahh anyway, last video! this one is again from talkingcock in parliament, performed by ruby pan. shes some trainee teacher at nie and i hope she comes to ri! and she can show us those funny accents hahahha i especially like her filipino accent! its really good lol sounds like my maid! haha we love doing accents, ranging from vietnamese to indian to angmoh hahahaha

haha anyway, im off to mug acids bases salts and redox!

2006-10-06T23:09:00.000+08:00

hah today was lit parody finals and our group didnt get in

maybe the main reason of that is because they decided to make me a cross dresser xP which really is a wrong choice right! like me leh hahahaha anyway i ponned it today because yeah i was really really sick again you know food poisoning la haha

but my food poisoning very special. just need to go home and do business then can go out again. yeah what special food poisoning. so sad just nice cannot go for lit parody thingy leh! aiyo damn sad. haha anyway leoson told me they didnt take attendance for lit parody thing so who cares! i ponned it and didnt get caught ><

hah today we had trigo and i kena trigged! wahh i forgot how to do as usual again not enough practice! who ask me chiong last night and try to do some lol. we had bayley batch meeting during recess and the turnout was relatively good la considering at such a short notice and they had to miss recess for us. hah your efforts are appreciated!

hah yejie (rj bayley waddle captain and my ex polo buddy!) say that next year we gonna have some rj ri rgs bayley waddle thingy duno for what la hahahaha he make alot of changes in his term as house capt

hah and today's assembly was really fun! the school invited some hiphop people over and they like woah really talented! theres this beatboxer guy who can like layer his sounds lor! the world doesnt need drums with him around! he just beatbox and while humming a melody he can layer it with drumbeats and hi-hats sounds lol he is very pro. hah quite nice to see stuff ri guys will never do. lol

hah and i went for tuition today and i was the only guy! yes i know some horny boys out there will be going like "woah, you damn lucky!" hahaahaha jokes it was quite boring la cannot talk at all lol stupid muggers all dont want come tuition!

oh and i cut my hair today lol cos i couldnt stand carrying all that heavy hair around so i just went to crop it super short so that i wouldnt have to bother about it again lol

hah anyway, nothing much happened today la. school is boring

hah anyway, suspicious video! you know, in 2004, when we crowned our first sg idol, they said that the song "I Dream" was written exclusively for taufik and sly right? well, think again! leann rimes sang this song in 2001

hah enjoy

and boycott sg idol! wahh chinese never win at all

2006-10-05T19:41:00.000+08:00

hah im busy studying trigo now!

i hope this will trigger off a certain studying trend for me! (though i really really doubt so) lol i went to attend maths remedial with mr teo and realised that ohman i dont know how to do alot of trigo questions! hah but never mind im practising now.

today we officially moved over to the new s rajaratnam teaching block. okay fine not we, cos all levels except sec 3s get to move to the new teaching block while we use junior block! but never mind la junior block still retains some comforts... like a carpet for our second level class and proper curtains so that we can change in class and do all sorts of funny guy business too ^_^

hah so now rjc must be cursing at us cos when we went there to eat during recess today it was totally spammed with ri guys who made the queues super super long lol lucky we got there early! haha today when our deputy headmaster was going "let us rock the new block!" then the rugger gang started getting excited about "rocking" the new block hahahaha

anyways after that was one boring lesson after another, like physics first when mr soon finally couldnt take our nonsense (even though hes very nonsensical too) and just shouted at us lol haha duno whether he was acting anot he doesnt seem the kind... and fong was her usual self la whining and scolding and her voice is just so irritating ahh i think im damn biased against her lol after that all the lessons were really really boring la cant wait till after cts

ahh anyway i think i understand trigo a bit, a teeny weeny little bit. i should drop maths in jc! stupid maths i bet i wont need it in my later life cos i wont take up a profession that requires maths! roadsweeper and toilet cleaner and parking attendant wont require taking maths in rj right! or maybe i wont go rj, the college in the east has very nice facilities, whats its name again? ahh now i remember. ite college east! yeah it has wonderful and comprehensive facilities there i want to go there for my tertiary education and i bet they wont force me to go trigo or log or linear law.

anyway i think i might very likely fail tomorrow cos i didnt really prepare and im just burning midnight oil now so wish me good luck! but the signs bode well...

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

hah not bad right! 100% leh

2006-10-04T20:52:00.000+08:00

ahh today i was very very sick. verily very, if you catch my drift.

haha i duno why but for some mysterious reason (yeah, very mysterious indeed... hmm) i havent gone to a single ri re congress before? anyway, not that i regret it la, since its such a waste of time anyway! hope mrs cheryl yap doesnt see this cos i bet she'll make me do 100 hours of library corrective work order just for that comment lol

*you might want to skip this portion*

i had a really really big stomachache starting from last night and i just went to shit and shit and shit and shit and eventually i went to bed just exhausted and feeling really really weak. i woke up in the morning to realise that i was still very weak and couldnt go for school. oh how sad... i did really want to go to school you know. =p

*okay, can continue reading*

i woke up at 1030am (yes i know, what a pig) and my parents brought me out (after i was feeling way way better, yeah) and we went to geylang (yes, geylang!) to duno do some stuff and buy some crap cushions la haha i think there got an old cushion shop they still buy those kind of cushions because they love the traditional kind of cushions for our sofa lol

then i went to geylang polyclinic to get an mc excusing my absence in school today la when the person told me "come back at 130pm, thats when registration starts again" and like it was 1130am lol so anyway i decided not to wait and just get my parents to write a letter hahahaha so off we went, with me lugging my chem textbook and reading on mole chemistry while we ate lunch (how hardworking!)

hah anyway i dont understand a single thing of trigo so i think ill have to request a remedial session with mr teo chun meng tomorrow to help me with trigo lol eh no way im thinking abit more like a mugger already! even my blog posts are about muggerish stuff! noooooo lol

ahh anyway i hope to see you all in school tomorrow so we can resume our in-the-class soccer games! hahahaha oops i mean interclass soccer. yeah haha im quite high cos i just finish mugging mole chemistry and i understand most of the stuff! yay

hah see if you can guess my five fake statements! hah this survey is really fun (and i ought to be mugging!) lol hahahaha

anyway today started off on a really bad note. yeah i kena pulled up to stand by this prefect called royce lee. yeah i got my eyes set on you boy, everytime i see you im gonna jeer and leer at you. stupid red crosser, only good at making others cross. anyway youll see me for the last month of the year and 1 year in rj so i wish you good luck. shout at me right.. didnt even ask properly! hah im not gangster la ill just attack him with um creative insults! stupid royce lee im watching you! so what if you read it, i dont care.

anyway im feeling high now because i tried hard to enjoy myself today, not let a rotten person ruin my whole day. hah and we caught someonein bishan library nearby someone! haha okay maybe people shouldnt know who the someones are hahahaha anyawy it was funny! lol so shy :D haha anyway i cant talk cos i guess i too am like that lol

today was just some rubbishy day with nothing learnt other than spending bio lesson reading chem textbook and understanding some mole concept hahahaha so it was super sian! hah anyway playing on the moose's gameboy and beating the crap out of the enemy was quite enjoyable and i named the enemy royce!

hah rolls royce is supposed to be a really good car! but i guess sometimes when this name appears in guys it appears in really rotten individuals with no respect for others and himself. urgh i hate him la! hah nvm i tell you hes gonna get it from me (and peng, cos he has the power of china. btw, he shouted at both me and peng) stupid prefect. the school should do something about it. cant just let prefects go around shouting at innocent students and letting them get away with it. zzz

anyways, thats all from me! bye! hah i bet you cant guess the 5 fake statements that i made on top! im too smart already (or so i think)

"i am an environmentalist, so i want to marry the world, ms world to be exact"

hah i wanted to watch ms world last night but i couldnt watch cos my parents were around at home la hahahah and dont think wrong about the reason why i want to watch ms world! i wanted to watch cos westlife were performing! haha okay this is kinda weird. i feel abnormal because i want to watch a beauty pageant not because of the females but because of the male performers. i dont want to be gay! hahahaha shannneeeee and markkkk lol i have their 3 albums! woohoo i think shane has a nice husky voice (ooh i really am gay) and mark has a really great voice > slau's hahahah i just watched abit of the westlife concert dvds i got a couple of years back when they still had brian hahaha i think im rattling off alot of crap that people dont understand. okay nvm haha

aha from today onwards ill try not to sign online to msn!

try does not mean will do la, but try la hahahaha

so everyday ill just like sign in to msn and then appear offline, so if anyone wants to talk to me can always just talk la cos msn live messenger allows offline messaging right. haha somehow i think this rather defeats the purpose of me not signing online cos then people can just talk to me and ill get distracted. hah anyway all work and no play makes seetow a dull boy la lol

hah anyway today was a fun day because tom wanted to go bishan library very much, the cause of which im still very unaware of. haha today we had physics dynamics quiz and i think ill get 8/10 for it la kinda lousy but dont care la at least i put in some effort! haha half an hour of effort but still dynamics is easy la so i dont care ><

and yeah if you see me around right, please please dont talk about soccer can! soccer is such a stupid game man, like the best team doesnt win lor! look at yesterday's matches! it was ridiculous! the obviously lousier team won in the clash at old trafford between the inferior home side manchester united and the hugely superior visitors newcastle united. yet see what happened la. )=

and today was our lit parody and we screwed it up! haha slau i think he damn nervous he forgot his lines then we just lost our way halfway so we were trying to make up for it i think it was relatively under-rehearsed la haha ahh anyway its over but i think the rest of it was okay our teacher said it was entertaining! hah i think ill edit this post later when i get a photo of myself in an indie dress hahahaha this is so stupid (=

ahh anyway i think i shouldnt blog so much... hah maybe i should not blog so often now since eoys are coming and i think i should start mugging more, especially for maths, chem, bio and chinese and i finally got my study plan in place! hah gogogo ill try to mug la even though i hate mugging. remember, all work and no play makes seetow a dull boy. now we wouldnt want to make seetow a dull boy right, if not the world would grieve over such a huge loss.

heh bye

2006-10-01T21:02:00.000+08:00

aha i think my group really is doomed for lit parody!

lol anyway better than peng's group, if that provides any form of catharsis... haha im trying hard to memorise my lines now! and trying to do the evil laugh again lol and practice my high squeaky girly voice lol

anyways today i went on a date with tom! haha we were supposed to meet at bishan library at 1015am to mug together. haha i woke up at around 10am and reached there at 1035am (yes i know, im a such a pig) but tom reached there at 11am! haha so i thought i was late but lucky i wasnt late at all hahahaha

anyway during the time when i was there and tom hadnt reached, i found this really cool waterpolo book on 101 training drills and among them there are quite a few very useful goalie drills and i think im gonna use that and ask jiaolian to let me conduct and plan the keepers' holiday training schedule with a few of those drills found in the book. haha no harm trying right...

anyway we mugged abit on dynamics then ss and i sms-ed my ss teacher to ask him about the ss eoy and asked him whether multiculturalism was tested or not and he said no only northern ireland was tested hahahah i duno whether he was supposed to tel me that at all because i think we were supposed to be told to study multiculturalism and conflict as a whole too lol ss really is damn slack and i got 90% for my ca! woohoo!

haha and around 145pm me and tom went to eat lunch together one to one so romantic HAHAHAHA (im not gay k) at food junction then i ate a ridiculously large portion of rice + prata haha i think mugging really does make people fat because we need brain energy! but then again, why is daniel chew so stick-y? haha after lunch i met chee and j8 then his father drove us to merrill's house where we had our kinda full dress rehearsal. lol

anyway i found out that im not gonna have to desecrate the rgs uniform, which is supposed to be the second nicest girls' school uniform in singapore or something according to some newspaper haha and i cant investigate someone's claims of it making people look fat lol hahaha anyway im wearing this super cool indie top and skirt that makes me look really weird and i think i really am not suited to be a girl... so mafan haha we tried kicking ball around in merrill's house then so difficult to kick in a skirt... being a girl so difficult. haha

haha and merrill's sister looks quite like him leh. haha i was wondering... lol my brother should be really thankful that he isnt a female or else he'll look really horrible as a girl if he looked like me LOL hahahaha

okay thats all from me today! ill go and mug the lit parody script again and get my evil laughs and memorise all my lines properly!

haha wish us good luck! tomorrow is D-Day

2006-09-30T23:30:00.000+08:00

haha confucius say "dont wash your dirty linen in public"

so i shouldnt rant so much on this blog right. oh poor blog. haha i hope only my friends visit this blog and not other people i dont know and knowing too much stuff about me... haha i shouldnt blog so personal stuff. maybe somewhere else like livejournal or tabulas la hor hahahaha

anyway today we went to cake's house to rehearse our lit parody and more or less its quite settled la we finalised the script! (2 days before production) and i've memorisd about half my lines, which is quite good considering i took about 1 and a half days to do so. haha

and tomorrow i have a date! yay someone asked me out on a date haha tom ask me go bishan library study with him dynamics for physics quiz on monday and study ss for our eoys. haha i hope i can study properly and not go there and make alot of noise and eventually kena kicked out of the library! lol and after that ill go merrill's house to rehearse out lit play again. its 50% of our ca man! haha

so i think thats all for today la haha im very bored now.

wish me good luck for lit play! i think im gonna desecrate the rg uniform cos slau getting his sister's skirt for me to where i think lol i hope i wont enjoy wearing a skirt and eventually go roam changi village along with all the other cross dressers we saw at our chalet lol
