I love Lamborghinis!

Goodbye, my readers (if there are any) (new addition)

2011-07-23T21:41:00.001+08:00

I'll officially be saying goodbye to this blog address. The new one can be found, if you know how to, thus its for those who really want to read. Thats all Im going to say. I'll leave this blog here for me to read when I am free, to think about what I have done previously.

A week of uncertainties

2011-07-09T20:43:00.002+08:00

I never thought my I would fail myself during a test. Differentiate wrongly and again, 失手。Oh well, there is nothing I can do about it already. But I guess that my personality does not allow me to stop thinking about it.

Well, I know one test does not signify much, but just this afternoon I suddenly thought of a whole new possibility for subject combination next year, which is to kick out Maths... Replacing it with Chemistry... (If I do take both Geog and Econs). But I just checked, and I am probably not going to do so. But I guess, I might really kick Geog out in the end, because Econs seem to be important if I decide to go on the route for business. Somehow, lian lao shi words have been remembered in my head. But I really do want to consider teaching Geography. I guess in the next few weeks, I really got to take my time to think and decide which choice to make and narrow it down. This is because Environmental Engineering requires like Maths, Physics and Chemistry...

If I really do give up Geography, I will really feel very sad. The passion from it started in Year 1, or maybe even before that. I would always look foward to Geography lessons, especially where most Geography teachers are nice, easy to interact and learn with for me. The content never seems to irk me, may be boring but there are always many interesting areas to discover. Well, someone told me that the % of people getting 'A's for Geog in our school for 'A' levels is higher than that of Economics.

But I guess in life, we all have to make sacrifices if we want to move on. Well, the decision making process can be quite painful at times, but what determines the best decision. What is a 'right' decision? There is never a set definition for this. Is it really about passion and happiness only? Is it just about the money? Is it just about the fame and success? I got to iron all that out and decide within the next few weeks. Before I know it, the results would be back and I will be staring right in front of my choices.

Button got P5 for British Grand Prix Qualifying. I wish him all the best, and may he end a fruitful race tmr in his homeland!

On another note, well, my 'daughter' is now overseas. Or over the corridor. I realise that we seldom talk. I think its me as a father. I suddenly realise that I am unable to talk to you freely anymore. It seems that you have became further away from me, unfamiliar, that you have changed. Somehow, I am just unable to talk to you. I really don't know why. Agh. But I shouldn't be thinking too much about this bah. Maybe, it is good that I finally give her some peace and quiet. Will see how it goes.

55th Ann next week. I am excited! I don't get why the others don't want to come, but for me, I feel honoured to be able to participate! That aside, I better start my physics and gong han revision tomorrow, and probably continue electrolysis revision tmr. There's still Maths, Bio, PW and ACE to do! So thats old for now, my dear blog.

Knowing more about my family.

2011-07-03T23:36:00.002+08:00

Its Sunday today. Woohoo! Not very happy actually. The braces has been bothering me for now, to an extent that I can't imagine how I can get used to it. But, since its the point of no return, I shall see how it goes then...

Seeing all the gourmet food, brought back by my thoughtful mother from mainland China, Hong Kong and Kin Men (Jin Men, Taiwan), makes my mouth water. But of course, my teeth rejects it. More like my mind rejects it. It just reminds me of how the past years I would savour deeply in all that gourmet food that is brought back, all those flavour rare or practically not present in Singapore.

Today, well did some work for Chem, going to LA but not done yet. Sleeping soon. Most of the time was spent on knowing my family better. As in, the family from generations back. First, went to one of my relatives' new house in Ang Mo Kio. Then we just chatted about all the daily happenings for each other's life, including a group of my relatives going back to visit distant relatives under my mum's guidance and more. Then talked about certain things of my grandfather, whom died 10 years earlier than I was born so sadly. Their description, somehow makes me suit him (afraid of some ppl, just follow law, straight and upright, loyal). So they talked about my granduncle bullying him, and my grandmother sort of like telling him that you help others and make yourself suffer... Its like he sent money back to China to help, but only to realise it had always been under my granduncle's name, so the people back there sort of misunderstood us. Im glad my mum took the step and called back just now.

Also, he wanted to build landed property and asked my grandfather for money. When the govt took back the land, he just took all the money. So, when they went back last few weeks, the relatives there asked to acknowledge and contact them, but we were obviously not in contact with them. Its like the expression when I saw on my Dad and Aunt's face when my mum asked about their contacts, whether they would go back. It had meant they knew them all too well.

Not letting others know I have helped them somehow became my policy, never to be in the limelight. But when such a thing happens, and if I am to one to benefit, I will really investigate all it takes. Because to be able to have the heart to help one, is something rare to find. Its a valuable tie, that ought to be cherished, and your thanks keeps that person going.

Its already the next day, I shall sleep now!

Kite Flying vs My thoughts

2011-07-02T22:29:00.000+08:00

No no no no no, I did not go kite flying, though I had a kite. Well obviously it did not fly haha!

I never intended to learn kite flying, but today I went to a community kite flying event, where those who had their first hands at it were given simple and small kites, just to settle their kids desires, whilst others brought professional, large sized and well designed ones. Kites really seem to be a very good metaphor for children and achievement.

First, you need to manufacture it well. Some do it with skill, some might do it meticulously with all their heart and might, putting in 100% effort. Only then, can one prepare it for flight. Only then, when it is flying, only a small bit of a "push" can enable it to soar even higher.

Some kites, apparently few are able to be flown off by just one person. Others, definitely require more than one person to make it soar into the skies. Thats why a family is only complete when there are 2 parents. Even better when there are people at the side guiding them.

Well, the technique is such that for it to fly, you need to know the right time to let it go. You need to know when you can let go and so that it will soar, and when if you let go it will fall. If the time for it to rise appears and you stop his/her/its path, then there will eventually be failure as it is not sustainable. Some try making use of the advantages of the environment, 东风 like some would say. But, after much observation, the most critical of all, is actually the controller/family. If not, glory will be all but temporary.

Today was a 'breakthrough'. But the feeling was completely different. There really seems to be a change this time. And I wonder if that is the factor. But you know, as much as I do hope for it to happen, some things try to forbid me. It was you, your sudden emergence in my life that had changed so much. But right now I still haven't really changed it all. You seem like a unifying factor, somehow you keep me going, but when Im going I have not been recognising that. Or is it someone else...

For sometime now I've been thinking about marriage and its complications. As someone who looks upon tradition, I have always looked up to the idea of marriage and continuing the family line, having many kids. But in Singapore, where money is essential for life, I guess I really need to sort certain things out. Though my ideology is as such that money is not as important, but who would not want a good environment for their kids? Also, a question of biasedness towards different children. Thus, Im already trying to iron that out (haha). Making time for your kids, and yet trying to survive in a city with growing inflation to be comfortable will not be easy, especially with the number I have in mind (haha).

Finding the perfect partner would be one of the first problems to tackle. I do know that I am not romantic (yes), and I know romance and family cant really converge. But maybe it can become small tweets of life. However, till date, there's still an argument in my mind whether my partner should be as similar as me as possible, or as different as possible. But one thing is for sure, she has to accept me for who I am, some of my ideaologies, though she doesn't have to follow me (address that when I finally sort it out). And to find a partner, I feel is really not a "love at first sight" thingy. It should be much more complicated than that, because it is a lifelong partner. I don't really accept the idea of matchmaking, because it just seems weird. I think he or she should be the one if he or she has had something to do with you before, and you two have in fact been through "thick and thin", or at least been through certain experiences. There should be at least some form of feelings (感情）.

Thats why despite the personal touch, I don't want to be sure. Somemore it has happened to me so many times already, which never worked, so I would rather not go too far in. (try, it somehow pesters me!)

Its nice to have chats with my closest "daughter", somehow its only nice online. I don't know if she reads (I don't think so), but I wonder if it because of how the internet manages to show another side of people (usually the fake side). Or is it the internet allows us to somehow be more free to express ourselves? Not that I don't have nice chats with her in real life, but its a bare ? But I think Im a bit overwhelming lah, like take things too seriously or something... But I guess if she was really my daughter she would be someone I would shower my care with :) Its important to complete the family photo, but haha, Im giving her a choice first.

There will be tests already next week, but I think Im fortunate to have teachers who have passion in their work, who try to work with us and help us as much as possible. Sometimes, I can really feel that the class is like saying 'no' to a wonderful opportunity. But I think nevertheless, it is easy to see through what every teacher is like, and in Dunman High, I think most of them at least have the heart to teach. Its simple, because this profession in not as easy as many people think it is. But to be able to continue on, requires much more than you think. If you cannot take it, then even when you meet with the happy moments of being a teacher, you would find it something terrible as well. Still thinking about teaching as a career, but high chance a no. There's much more to venture out there, closer to my passion(s) and interests. It has to link to my family as well. I ironed this out a few days ago: Money may seem unimportant to me, I want to stop the ideology of "Money, Money, Money" after the great influence in Singapore by whoever, but if my family requires me to earn more money, I will go ahead and do it. Thinking about it, I don't think I would ever mind doing a job of driving. But I know, there are better stuff out there. I guess the future will be more bright when it comes closer.

I don't think you're reading. Don't think you can find my blog bah.... But I won't know because Im not close to you, not that close.

Milestones. Braces :/

2011-07-01T20:55:00.000+08:00

Milestone for the first week: I do not owe any homework, and so far should have sufficient time to complete all work. Nothing big actually.

Never did I thought that the first week would be so hectic. Life is just so unpredictable, anything just happens before you. The best drama serial Ive seen so far (Those reading could be thinking of C.L.I.F.) is actually my own life, its just amazing how things occur sometimes... Compared to other drama serials, this is the only one that tells me more life stories and teaches me more lessons than ever.

I always feel like blogging about something, but when I really log in and see the blank, my mind also goes blank... Its really because certain things I wanna let go cant really be talked about openly, yet sometimes I do hope the audience can see it (though quite unlikely).

Being able to let off things from your heart and mind is one thing, the audiences' effect is another. I never thought it matters, I believe it doesnt but something says it does...

And for the past 2 hours, I went to the toilet for simple business 4 times... Not like Im earning money.... Now I rmb... The art of eating (with braces). This is the first time I started to not like eating. As the saying goes, 能吃是福. Now, I trully understand. I used to say things without really thingking and experiencing, like a textbook. But now, how I wish I can just have some really nice food without my braces and chew all I want. ARGH!

The magic behind this milestone that I do not want to talk about is just weird. I sort of link it that way, but somehow I guess its just a coincidence. I know I shouldn't be thinking of it. But its really painful to not express when you need, I might just end of differently. Gah, I really cant say lah.

Sometimes, I really dunno who to confide it. I cant find anyone, because certain things are just too sensitive. I shall just end here for now.

Should not be blogging now.

2011-06-28T20:39:00.000+08:00

Yes I know, Im not supposed to be here. But recently so many things happened, and I don't want to type 每日一作文, so had to let off my sorrows here....

"You always smile but in your eyes your sorrows show
Yes it shows." --Without You (Harry Nilsson/Air Supply)

This seems quite true for those people I know who smile very often. But for quite a few them, I do catch them not smiling quite some times. Well, I just can't get myself to be cheerful, act like nothing happened when something did. I am just not the happy-go-lucky type. How I wish I were. Its no fun to be reminded of the bad things that happened in the day, month and year. So once again, to those whom I did not really smile to, I am sorry about that.

Questioning the purpose of life, a significant fellow in my life said that it means would be showing you have depression. But I guess, once in a while, it allows each and every one of us to check our direction. Though I may not enjoy doing certain things, but I realised that there are some other ways to just pass it through. Its part and parcel of life, and I will take it as an experience then. However, nevertheless, the process if still tortorous for me most of the time. But I wired out something: I live for happiness of myself and if possible happiness of others. Sometimes, its the other way around though.

I better get back to work.

NExt WEek is SCHool !!

2011-06-23T20:56:00.000+08:00

Do I sound excited. Im telling you, I am not at all excited.

Maybe I should be, to see how my "masterpiece" will work out. But looking at prospects, I don't think that things are too optimistic. Maybe I should just hope that things do not go chaotic. Mr Ng still hasn't gave any reply yet. Is his silence a consent? I think he is very busy.

Today, a pair of twins were born. But not on this year haha. Anyway, today was also the fateful day I had to extract one tooth. Oh well, just hope that it will bring about improvements. Meanwhile... haha...

Schoolwork still on-going. It seems that Biology is ok after all. But I still don't like doing Bio. Trying to complete this Bio paper and all will be good after today! Struggling to complete it cos its just too.... Oh well. Speaking of which, my NYAA is still not done yet.... Haiz, this few days bah, this few days.

Even during the holidays, I get to learn some lessons as well eh... My father told me there's a website with all the old names of Singapore locations... Outdated definitely, but I guess its possible to create new ones ourself.... Its like there used to unique 16 floor HDB flats at Commonwealth, so its called Chap lak Lau, hokkien for Sixteen floors. So, if we reinvent it, then Tanjong Pagar-Contonment (Duxton) can be called Gor Chap Lau, hokkien for 50 floors! But I understand that these names came out because the people then weren't very educated. If it were us, Duxton Pinnacle would be just simple... But I know some who call it things like tallest HDB, Tanjong Pagar tall HDB etc... Interesting indeed lah, got Pek Kio (Rangoon/Owen), Aw Kio (Balestier), Ang Sah Li (Serangoon Gardens). Many more, if interested can just google it, its one of the wordpresses (I think the only wordpress).

Ok, its time to call my mother and do other stuff. I hope I can pull through Bio Paper tonight.

JENSON BUTTON'S FIRST VICTORY THIS YEAR!!

2011-06-13T09:51:00.000+08:00

Ok, just to be surprised. This morning woke up. Missed the victory news for CNA but saw that hamilton crashed. Oh dear.

So it was CNBC for 1 hour, and decided to got back to CNA to try my luck. Got a 3-second shock when I saw jenson button!!!!!

Thought it would be a sad case for him but apparently he won! Congratulations! Now I would have tried to watch ytd hahaha. But apparently, luck is always a must have in grand prix races somehow this year.

Middle of Holidays.

2011-06-12T23:25:00.001+08:00

Gosh, the middle of the holidays has passed. But my homework is not even halfway done yet. If possible, I aim to complete my work this week, and probably do some home admin matters too.

Canadian Grand Prix really seems boring to me. Im going to sleep soon, not staying up for it.

I don't understand why some people have to resort to stealing certain things sometimes. Well, I dunno what kind of karma this is but oh well, I will not steal. But this person really seems so professional. I don't want to call the police, but if so is it right to let him continue his ways if he has done a lot of harm. No time to think about it.

More importantly, Im just feeling sad over the lost of my phone. It was a really good phone. Back in 08, when I first saw it online, I knew that this was it. 一见钟情？haha not really lah. But yea, I really like the exterior, the features, and the interior system. After that, I never cared for any other phone. Though there were some minor problems with the phone, after 1 year of endurance, I managed to clear all the problems and was enjoying my daily life with it so much. So much that I realised its already 2 years and 2 months since I started using it. As many always say, 欢乐的时光总是过的那么快。我万万也没有想到，竟然要用这样的方式，会在这样的场合，和它永远的道别。

Sometimes I really do wonder why we exist for a fact. Is it just that we learn our lessons, and live our lives happy or sad, creating trouble for some and making others happy, but most importantly, very likely not impacting most of the people. And after that we just leave the world, most of us quietly. Whats the point of life if it is just full of hatred, terror, fear, jealousy?

I try my best not to hate anyone. I believe from the bottom of the heart I dont. In fact, I do not like some people. But why should I hate them? They are still people. Sometimes, its really easy to take every single person around you as a nice, kind-hearted soul. Just ignore all that negative sides of the human heart for a moment and realise the beauty of each individual. Its really wonderful.

But well, we the humans are created to be emotioned. We cannot ignore what we feel and think. Sadly, such negative sides exist in diversity and variety. Yes, you cannot help to think that someone does not like you, but have you ever felt the pain of simply trying to be nice to everyone, even though it seems to you that the person does not like you? We try our best to be perfect, but is it really possible? This vicious cycle would continue forever, because there was just someone who had started it.

I guess, its really amazing in a way. I can not like that person but apparently keep feeling that the person is inclinging towards me. I like that person but keeps feeling that the person tries to avoid me, somehow not really liking me. Sometimes, we do get the courage to ask. But what if people do not speak from the bottom of their hearts, afraid that they might hurt others. Do we want the truth or do want protection. I really don't know. But sometimes, I guess our doubt of others would hurt each other more. But we just cannot reject what we feel.

I guess enough is said for tonight, I just hope when I wake up tomorrow, I can continue towards the important task to fulfill now: Complete my work.
I do have many other things to do, like cleaning up the house, sorting my elections articles, practice chinese and read english, analyse finances. Time has been my good friend, but I have never treated it well.

If possible, I'd rather not think about it.

2011-06-09T23:10:00.000+08:00

Middle of holidays, but work not is not half. Really need to buck up. Im picking up speed, but I guess a little too slowly. A little bored, so decided to pen down some thoughts. Ok, type, as Hanker would say.

My life this year has been extraordinare. It will forever be different from that of my lives in other years, just like how each year is unique to me. Many things have happened this year. In terms of many aspects, of which some seen a positive change, and others a negative one. But I do believe that no matter what happens, it will benefit me in the end, somehow.

It seems that there are people reading, so I think I do not want to type anymore on more personal matters. Anyway, Im a little lost and I can't really put it in words.

Went for an LTA event, the DTL2 Tunnelling Commencement. Got a first-hand experience of chatting with newly appointed Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew. He really seems to be different, and trying his best to do his job well. So far so good, barely any thing I have disagreed with that he has mentioned. On another note, I want to thank my good friends that have accompanied me these years, John, Jeremy, Jun You and more. Especially John, I think we have actually surpassed that of just squadmates, fellow enthusiasts and even schoolmates, but really close friends, which is due to also our close personality.

I guess I shall end here for now.

Close to one week into holidays.... GAH

2011-06-04T11:55:00.000+08:00

Wow, time passes so fast. Its close to one week.

I just realised there isn't much time left, comparing the time to things to do ratio. Oh dear!
For the past one week, it started out with NP stuff. Then pushed myself to complete my testimonial. Did some maths and Chinese, read a bit of Geography. Gosh, I need to change my attitude towards Science, if not Im not going to improve.

I have not really done Mei Ri Yi Ju, I think for 2-3 days. Looks like Im going to have a hard time, can only talk about what happened in 《金枕头》 haah. I finally completed it, after 3, close to 4 days of continuous watching. Hopefully I can save my eyesight. My mum left me 《三国演义》 before going, and its the drama serial version, so I guess for this one, I will restrict myself and not hurt my eyes. Seeing all the weird drama techniques in 1995, the weird looking places, faces; Maybe not weird, but unfamiliar and probably retro haha, really made me think about certain things. But its way too long-winded!!!!

Just 2 days ago, more people have left for the country, I hope for a good cause. Thinking about that, I do hope that I have a chance to go on a trip with John... But, whats yours will be yours, so if it really doesn't come, I guess I will look for an alternative. What comes knocking on my door, I will consider it.

Other than homework, I still have assessment books. Reading of syllabus is another important part for this holiday's schedule, and I also need to sort out certain things, for example, the newspaper collections for this election. This one cannot wait till December. Others, probably could, such as photo collections and some personal matters.

Shall sign off for now...

There's something wrong with me.

2011-06-01T12:25:00.000+08:00

I've had enough of doing that. I really want to stop already. Ive had enough of all that other nonsense. I want to settle down now. Its time to stop this. But it supposedly isnt the right time to start that. How I wish such things don't bother me so much. As much as I have a dream, I do hope for some peace and quiet to let me concentrate on other things.

I purposely chose for it to be that way because I am afraid of the other thing happening. I do not want to disturb you, nor do I think I need disturbance. Its really hard to know you inside out, because we seem to be the same, people who hide our hard feelings from others, showing our happiness most of the time. If you feel that I don't really shower you with proper care, it is likely because I am afriad of bringing it to another level. I believe you wont bring it far, but I want to play safe.

This feeling is extreme. Marvellous and painful.

2011-05-16T22:39:00.000+08:00

I never thought this was how it would come. I cannot even be sure if it really is what I think it is.

I swear it is different this time. It is different from all the other times. Maybe it is because of how we had addressed each other? But that does not change much... Or does it.

I can feel it, and it is incredible. its so heartwarming, heartfelt, but yet cannot be described. It is just so wonderful, like I am on the top of the world, looking down on creation, still searching for an explanation I can't find.

But its too tortorous for more. I really do not know if you find me naggy, irritating or whatsoever. Furthermore we are quite different. Being friends would be nice, but I can't read your mind. Because I don't want to hurt you, I have to control myself.

Maybe I should just give it all up, and look foward? Should I? Spare me the agony, I am looking for happiness.

My best table partner in years. Breakthrough for elections. Hectic so far...

2011-05-14T14:50:00.000+08:00

This is a tribute to by far, one of my best table partners. Thank you so much, may you succeed and gain happiness in your future endeavours!

Its really nice to talk to you when there is a need, and your laughter justs cheers me up. You have helped me quite a bit as well, no doubt there was some "piak"-ing, but I apologise for shouting at you at times or just not being myself. I couldn't let my results get over me. Nonetheless, you still remained open for me to talk. The feeling... This is beyond words....

On another note, slightly sadly: I realise that Ms Pear and us were brought together by fate. But unfortunately, we do not have the affinity of spending time together... Thats why I joked more, since there may not be that chance again. Oh well.

And as there are sad times, would happy times come. Parliamentary general elections is now over, with a breakthrough by the WP Aljunied Team. Congrats to them, sadly I cant get served by you. At the same time, Mr Yaw managed to get Hougang into even higher spirits.

However, veteran Mr Chiam See Tong 满盘皆输, bidding goodbye to Potong Pasir and also not conquering the neighbouring Bishan-Toa Payoh. His team, like Mr Low's team, is made up of many good members as well, but I guess the spillover was not strong enough and furthermore, MOE was there. But well, WP has two famous ones, Low and Lim, with Chen and Pritam it made it better. Mr Chiam had all the others as new , or not very famous candidates, though I look very highly of Mr Benjamin Pwee. The legacy of Mr Chiam has ended, but will Mr Pwee arise? Hope so.

Many things have happened this election, which I believe not many people will read just as I do not want to type, but share only with my friends that share this common interest. On another note, I am glad to be able to take a break after a hectic semester. Yes, I won't be able to rest for long since I have decided I have to revive my GPA back to its original state on the account that I am going to get a very uncommon number this semester. But hope this short rest will be able to spur me on and do better.

I want to thank those people who have been of great help to me throughout this period, and I am glad I have improved in quite a number of aspects. They may not read it here, but I believe that they will get repaid somehow, somewhat and somewhere. But to me, helping others is repaid through the joy and happiness one has after you have helped him. But in controversy, I seemed to have caused some inconvenience and unhappiness when I helped some people recently. I am really sorry, if you are reading this.

Life, has to go on. The future seems blurry, may I find it soon.

So much has passed, so much had gone, so much has come.

2011-02-15T22:40:00.000+08:00

Back into school life, more busy than ever. Some things have gone, some events passed, and so much things have came in replacement of them.
Sometimes, inspiration is really something really strong. People make decisions in life, usually influenced by something else. That is the power of inpiration.

I finally started on that email. 好的开始是成功的一半。Shall continue drafting it until it seems presentable. Meanwhile... just keep me happy inside.

Work and work. I feel that I am drifting away from what I really like. But thats how the world functions. Value the most important things first. Money, work etc. By the time you lose the lose, passion, your family, interest and friends, you wouldn't know what would have became of you.

Life~

2010-12-11T13:30:00.000+08:00

Life, is strange. Really. Especially how the contents of it come together to make fun of people. Work, Family, Friends and all. Sometimes I just don;t understand why we have to do certain things that are not meant to be done that way. So much has happened throughout the course of these few months. There are quite a lot of things that make me happy, yes. However, some things are still as bad. Am I to leave it alone? I am suppposedly not supposed to, but I feel like doing so. Haiz.

Back. Sad.

2010-10-27T21:22:00.000+08:00

Yes, back to blogging. Few more days to camp.

Results, as always, are never satisfying. Doesn't need to be what I feel, my mother finds it bad and that's the end of the story. I have decided to work harder, just hope I do and not just say. If so, I plan to start soon. Especially on certain topics that I really have no memory, cannot do well and don't understand.

Felt very sad, stressed this afternoon onboard 30. Was thinking about the bad of all the things around me, so scary. But I dunno was god or buddha trying to cheer me up, or whatever whoever there is, made a Lamborghini appear, at an angle which I could take a photo of it. Was exclaiming loudly to David, and we were snapping...

Hike made my day better today, clean fresh air, nice scenery. Feeling at the top of the world was wonderful, but when you look down, it just seems so scary.

Recently got to know a few songs... Just sound so nice. 像我这样为爱痴狂，到低你会怎么想？And many others.

Thanks David for accompanying me in the Carpenters melodies this afternoon. We should do that again soon! And I will include Abba!

THIS part of my life does not work out. Maybe I should stop thinking about it? I will just go mad, and maybe it doesn't have to be a part of my life, or not now. Why do I keep thinking about it?

Friday 13 and 7th lunar month

2010-08-13T21:18:00.000+08:00

Do you believe in such things? Im telling you I do.

It seems that I am little more luckier? haha, sure u didnt see that coming. remidns me of mr yap and eunice. Im telling you, its usually the same, a mix of the goods and bads.

Talking of Mr Yap, dreamt of him, and he occupied all of my dreams yesterday night. So unbelievable, that 1 photo can have so much impact. wah...

First activity by us, I think its generally quite well, but of course there are always learning points. Some of the facts of the squads really astonish me! Anyway, did Station Master job and also got introduced to the big great humongous project: DHSNPCC Logistics Storing Rationalisation And Regrouping. Overseeing the project is HO Jin Hui Sir, then CIs. In charges are the 4 qms. Ok... haha, squadmates reading this, please be prepared to cameo at storeroom for this year. Note: There may be perm deployments.

Speaking of buses, the most phenomenal thing that ever happened on 158, happened. 3 MKIIIs travelling back to back for more than 11 hours. The legendary and spares in honour to participate in this amazing feat are in order of SBS806T, SBS744M (boarded) and SBS658D. More amazingly, SBS806T has a weird timetable such that it is close to SBS744M. Best of all, Ms Pear was there to see the craziness. Thus explained to her more about our interest :)

Speaking of Ms Pear, geog test was quite ok, though quite a chiong... haha. Seems that we've got lenient teachers like ... and ..., as well as luck of .... tests instead of .... tests. oh well

Thats for this week. Other days are not so much worth talking about... Cos they are bad. Bad results, bad understanding, bad day..............

Learning point: There is no elevator to success. Take the stairs. Courtesy of SMRT Serangoon Interchange. Example: September 11. Explanation: Work hard and you will understand, having a feel of accomplishing something.

Finally 3 Sci tests are over! But not to be happy.

2010-08-05T20:34:00.000+08:00

Bio :((( Chem :| Phy :\

I dunno what to say for these. Gosh.

Feels very lost in life sometimes, like recently. Especially when the dreams made do not make any sense to me, and I am being like, kept in the dark.

National Day is here to stay... Followed by YOG. For some time, we will be under probably the whole world's eyes?

Some songs are also to stay as my favourites for now, from Wang fei. Wonderous voice, so clear and soothing.

Midst of school life.

2010-08-01T17:47:00.000+08:00

Now, its happy and sad one after another, angry and funny simultaneously. Cameos I see I cannot catch, some I see I cannot spam. School work over school work. And Im blogging here.

Bio was a total screw. Study the things that were in depth, but they never appeared, but those which I just gave one look and left, had to appear and I just can't remember. Sometimes, is it really luck that determines you? Or have I not put in enough effort in studying? I guess the second one would be more appropriate.

When it comes to things I really don't like, its hard to memorise them all. That is why I have such an aspiration. Maybe I should aim higher for that aspiration, then I wouldn't seem so dumb and pathetic.

NCO life. Wow. NUS is getting interesting, but if only I had a better partner. Stocks are interesting too!

Thinking about money, that is really the thing that has made everyone gone mad. Seriously, the cause, main reasons of many things. At the same time, people are also getting advantages from it.

Is it to let go the best, or cultivation better? Why am I like that?

One Week finished, another one coming

2010-07-25T11:50:00.000+08:00

Weekends are more like dreadings. What Mr Yap say becomes more and more true.

Financial Lit is cool. But its like dunno how many days then once, then so fast another time. Oh well, shall start to moniter the stocks market.

Got scolded quite badly. A little bit sad now. But its over. <- the left case refers to more than 1 instant in the week

My life is worst than a teacher's table now. Super unorganised. Everything is just flooding in to where ever space it can find, and it simply gets ignored. The CBD in my head is like shifting from place to place. But I struggle to enlarge it. Or maybe create regional centres. This way, prioritising should be easier.

Just posting. But there's more to it...

2010-07-14T20:16:00.001+08:00

Hi Peeps

Today was a happy day in school originally. Though there was mainly this sadness that was supposed to be present. But, I have to say lessons and encounters during curriculum time was good and all, with my cars, the teachers, and classmates.

However, after that was I dunno man. Mood swings. "And I dun wanna talk about it anymore....."

Haha, the sacred is still protected amazingly. I hope for it not to be found, but yet to be found by thr right person. But maybe its better that its never found.

Button was a disappointment. So close yet so far. But Rubens enlightened me on Sunday's race man. Good job! Keep it up even though you are not in a wonderful team!

Things in life just go on, and on, and on, unknowingly. We never know what is coming next, but we should always be prepared. Sometimes many things always come unprepared. It is really too unexpected. Of course, not thinking about it is one thing too. However, if you would like to live your life without regrets, this is the only way then. Just learn to appreciate things, which I hope more people can do.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you to SOME of my squadmates, in fact only one in particular who just called me. Thanks a lot and I have thought it through. Though I have decided not to concentrate so much anymore, but I appreciate all that you have done and I assure you I will help you again when you need it such that it is fair.
Yes, and also the person who actually could tolerate my glum face and somehow manage to tweak my emotions.

THANK YOU to those who have enlightened and changed my life. I feel great when enlightened.

Im enlightened once again.

2010-07-09T19:48:00.000+08:00

Today, went to NUS again. WOW. Totally enlightened once again. Which reminds me I better jot down what i rmb soon or else I will forget again. And also some other stuff to settle. PLUS homework.

IDMI presentation today. Hopefully we did it well, which I felt was not very bad. Whats done is all history, and let us learn from history.

Getting super busy now. Shall leave time to blog on the other side, so this is short.

1 week passed. GOSH!

2010-07-04T11:01:00.000+08:00

Why, is it fated that the Southeast area of the class is the quietest? Last term was quiet. This term is even more quiet. It also seems that the South is also the quieter ones amongst the 3 sections of the class. Live with it? I have no choice.

ExploRally was oh well ok bah. Only had poor luck with my photos. :(

Youth Day? normal. But hardware prep was not bad. We started to establish certain things :). And I got some facts correct, over Jie Min's (supposedly head) facts. HAHA.

School is, work is, life is.

Why does it always have to be like this? From the moment I saw his name there, I knew there was never going to be any proper life for me. HR Department, bye bye. Its too complicated for me. Maybe I should never had said certain things. And thats why, its unlikely I will again. So, those who guessed it, I can tell you that you wont find it.

2010-06-28T17:47:00.000+08:00

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. Did not exactly go well><><><
Oh nvm.

Im glad Im back from Ubin. Though it was fun and interesting to spot vehicles there! Thanks to Jun You and John... All vehicles are in"PU" format, other than some special ones like the police vehicle. Cool right? Just some info if you want:

PU6J Ford Passenger Van
PU48M Passenger Van
PU100U Private passenger van under **** ****
PU101S Passenger Van
PU78? Lorry
PU81? Mercedes Passenger Van

This year's STC wasn't so nice. Probably because it was not well-planned, then everybody was very sian. Heard there weren't enough CIs, not sure. Also, there was sudden change in schedule, so that probably made the programme a bit screwed. Oh well, its over and its over. Throughout the course of the 3 days, from the start where I was in a bad mood about the camp till break camp where I regained the accent, I must say it just stays as a special memory.

Its just like the IRC, where I panicked, where I was afraid, where everything was like ahhhh. However, after completing the course, it was over. I have been telling some people this, so here's it again:
"Anything can be compared to life, just like the obstacle course. take the path as your journey in life, and your adventure begins. You dont realise you are taking risks everyday, and that the surrounding is dangerous. when you on it, and the things starts to shake, you may become afraid. However, this is all caused by your own self. If let's say something happens to the tree or the grass, like it falls down or something, it may not affect your path in life. In addition, despite all the tremors you may fear, life has to go on. It is only possible to stop momentarily, but you have to move on. Once you manage to accomplish something, you will feel gratified, happy, glad. All that was bad, would just have been a memory."
well, they built it in such a way that you could not land on the ground unless completing the course lah.... But, after completing, when I see it, I still have shocks. Oh well.

There was no morning PT, but DHSNPCC sort of had it. And there was no best camper. My group, I felt, being quite dead, could win best group... Wahs. But this time, we had 0 best campers from our unit. Haiz.

School. Huge major changes. WTH got so many lessons with double teachers. Wlao eh. My new seating place is real quiet. Is that corner of the class destined to be the quiet side? god. At Rowena's seat retains the quietness, Zhan Ning, and See Wang's seat Jovi. Oh well. I don't seem to be geared up for Term 3. I seem like im idling in gear 2... Why i am still blogging then? gah. ok, a few more words then.

Vettel on pole... Button! How could you! Please do well in Silverstone!

VO2x still running on 74... zzz lol. DDs on 163?45?

NUS-I am going! NP, screws and shizz? "Dun gimme that Hong Kong accent!"

2010-06-22T21:50:00.001+08:00

Today, happiness and sadness. Laughter and anguish.

After the amazing 7-0 live watching yesterday, I stayed in momentum shocked. My father was like: You never watch so little goal. Once u watch, wah, 1 after another. LOLS.

Waked up so early to only see my dark eye rings. Reached school to see David's.

NCO Interview was like gah gah. Not supposed to say or else will be facing the same music as the Korean Players.

My father was saying that in North Korea, the poor people don't get live telecasts. Instead, they only know there is a match, probably they do not know the country, and will only be updated with their own number of goals. WOW. Its like so... Back to when things were so simple, children, where we simply cheered once we won...

"Then I started to talk in the Hong Kong-China accent, actually got Taiwan also, I live on Lantau Island... Im from Lantau. Hi. HAHA. Then it spread like unwild fire, not so wild, David follow, Si hui follow (unknowingly), and others a bit a bit affected, but they all too perfect in English, must talk in 'NO FUN' language, den understand de. Oh well, ended up switching back. Maybe when I see somebody on Friday, i may start talking like that again."

For the NUS one, it was after some hard consideration bah. TIME MANAGEMENT.

IDMI. NCO Life. NUS

2010-06-17T21:31:00.000+08:00

Just told by Clement that Orchard going to flood again soon. Poor 2 SBST tow trucks. 2 B9TLs failed on the other time. This time, hope all the bus change route fast enough, and the MRT dun GG. Oh well, whatever it is, I can't do much. LTA can't control rain.

After 2 days in NP and one day for chinese project, today went to school for IDMI and u know what planning. Its not easy, but with few people around, some squadmates together only were fun. I finally got a chance to step into shoes of a BC. Wah, Sv 1 really very poor business. Tight schedule? Got late departure and arrival a few times, in fact mostly. OK, I guess sometimes thing just don't get your way and you get easily frustrated.

Im starting to hate Y3 and NCO life. Its so unlike Y2 life. Its really very busy. And now, though got into the NUS Sci research thingy with CDAC, can go BNV spam MK3, but then lesser time for homework liao. Wah, feeling the pressure and heat man. My head is spinning.

Well, got onto Zaobao and ST. John is so gonna be famous. While I will just be having little little fame, since English is sure win chinese in singapore. If I get to scan the article, will upload here. If not can ask from me, as I will be bringing it most of the time with me, to show the security why I do certain things.

Mistakes made, lessons learnt, all after disaster happens?

2010-06-08T18:17:00.000+08:00

Was watching "The day after tomorrow". The last time I watched it, didnt really learn much. But now, in a 14 year-old's perspective, it seems that there were many many learning points.

One of the most important, is that do humans really have to learn from their mistakes, only after the disaster had striked? Continuing from there, would we always get a second chance to amend it, or would it be the dead end when we realise it? It is similar to one of the things I thought about before, which is, 失去了才懂得珍惜吗？

We probably would have felt we were right before the warnings came. Some manage to think and realise before that. When warnings appear, some simply ignore, and use some other reasons. These are either cowards because they do not want to own up, or they are stubborn. Others manage to stop in time. But most of the time, they realise it only when disaster has happened. Oh well, I guess that's a learning process in humans. Indeed, when disaster has happened, the lessons learnt would have a stronger impact on what you do.

In the movie, it seems that the person arranging for the chain of events, what some call god, made it possible for them to realise their mistake and react, make amendments and continue on with life. However, in real life, it is not always so good from what I see. The cruel society outside is not that forgiving towards some things you do, like crimes. When young, it seems that this kind of things were possible, but that is because you were protected by your parents from the evil that came. But, as we all grow up, we come to know we have to face things ourself.

Just like today, going to the Kampong for IDMI filming. Of course the girls were complaining of the mosquito bites and all, but the tourist that came definitely came "prepared", so probably she didnt feel anything. But she was asking about whether it will be gone, so I told her the URA hasnt announced anything yet. Well, there is nothing to do with that plot of land for now anyway, or rather, its considered private housing. She heaved a sigh of relief then. There were definitely a lot of people that came in. Well, it just seemed like a whole different world inside there, everything so compact, so close to each other. Felt very special.

And then, came craziness at Hougang. Wah. cleared 590P, 74 Vo2x, 643X, 738G, and got some rare things though no photos, like 113 strider. WOOOO. I need more!

NCO.

2010-06-06T10:05:00.000+08:00

FINALLY. AFTER APPROX 3 YEARS, Its time.

Its quite cool to keep MOI-ing. Moi-ing. Me-ing. OK STOp. I must say I have learned quite a lot throughout the course of these 2 days. Definitely I am somehow happy, but this holiday does not give me a lot of time. And I am still blogging here. Oh well.

Im not dreading POP planning. Im not. Im not dreading PKHFS. It could be interesting I guess. But I really really dread STC. The only possible fun part is like, Jetty Jump? And there's the stupid obstacle course, 3 storeys high I think. GAH. Will we get to explore Ubin again? I dont know. Who will be my group members? I dont know. Will I get all the slackish people? I dont know and I dont want to.

More questions are starting to arise. What post would I get? Would I be faced with many difficulties? What will the juniors think of us? Would we be hated by them? All questions reveal an answer in time to come. Oh well.

For the past few paragraphs, I dont know what I have been saying. Anw, woke up late ytd. Made it in time! Firstly, I want to thank Jun You for sms-ing me at 6.39 am. THANKS A LOT. Next, I want to thank my mum for telling me to buy bread so I ate a few mouths of it, and also topping up my ez-link card. Then, I want to thank my legs that knew the situation and walked super fast, and ran. I would also like to thank LTA for building Circle Line and North East Line, so I could made it in time. Then I want to thank SBS Transit and SMRT for operatin and running these 2 lines, so I really did make it on time. Finally, I want to thank the school for building a hostel and hostel gate so I didnt have to walk all the way to Tanjong Rhu Road. Also thank the government for not listening to the Cambridge people in 1980s about a full bus network. IT WAS DEFINITELY RIGHT! (Since we have the money)
This shows that sometimes, even the professionals may not get a correct idea of what should be done. Basically, what can be learnt here is that people from different counrtries may have different ideas as things are done differently, so when its comes in such a situation, then they may give a different perception.

Managed to get a 93 Vo2x. Phew! But no 74 ones. Mk3 very little progress, but Leylands got a few more. I NEED to go to Bukit Merah! Clementi! Kranji Again! Buona Vista! Appear in front of me, 74 Vo2x! I need you before you go! Hopefully can see 1 and take photo of 1 later.

The Legend of MYYS

2010-06-02T12:51:00.000+08:00

Since the start of school there has been many comments made about all the teachers that are teaching us. So typical of children right, students isnt it? There is one particular teacher that is continuously mentioned in class and also by one particular person. HAHAHA. Nothing lah.

Yes, if you guessed it, its him that I want to talk about. Happened to be pondering about it mah, not on purpose though.

"For many years, the school has always given me 2 types of classes. The first one is the type where, I don't need to teach the basics, they all know already. I only have to teach them those very hard things. The second time, is when I step into class, they just tell me: "Mr Yap, fail us lah." So, I do not know why the school has always been giving me such an arrangement, ... ..."

The reason why I do not continue on, is because that it what I would like to talk about. Why?

If you do notice, especially in my class, he somehow has the special ability to make many people improve in Math, improve in grades, probably interest? That was something he hoped for. From what I can see, it is not easy for one teacher to make mass improvements, because different students and children have different learning abilities, capacities and modes of learning. Some prefer to just listen to the teacher talk, or prefer to have more interaction, and others more of hands-on. So, to be able to make improvements on students in masses, it is not easy for just one teacher to do it, because at the same time, different teachers have different teaching styles. In a way, he does try to go up to that individual level and help them, but he is able to make quite some changes in just one working manner.

I used to ask him why he did not make use of ICT in his lessons. The answer is not so much important, but somehow it made me think he is a very free person. Yes, no doubt he is very carefree, but of course deep down he has problems to deal with definitely. Recently I realised, it does not mean that when ICT is used frequently, a person is then considered busy. He is the guy who prefers paper, pen, markers and words.

He very obviously has a fun side, especially towards those that are highly inclined in Mathematics. I probably do not want to elaborate on that because some might find differences or biasedness. I don't know.

But most importantly, he is under the Knowledge Skills Programme. Meaning? A branch of the SBGE. This is where the differences come in. Apart from being able to help those who are poor, he is at the same time able to make those who are good excel even further. Not many teachers are able to do both very well. He is one of them that manages to do it quite well. I must say, apart from all the things about it that are not so related to the question that help him, this is the one that probably makes the most difference. And the answer is all revealed. A talent indeed, to the school, therefore he is given such a task. The only time I remember a similar saying by someone else was from Mrs Lee already. And according to her, it was definitely no easy at all. Furthermore thats P6. Y3? Wow.

CIP, Hols, Turkish GP

2010-05-30T11:12:00.000+08:00

I must say CIP was a bit of fail. I admit it. Faced with all the bad comments from the feedback form. Thank you classmates for giving me your most true feedback. I do thank you for that. I guess, with only two people doing the work is really not enough. Its over anyway.

Games part is quite fail lah. But I have to say I was never in charge of that. Then went to collect food from Macs with Mr Ng. Shant expose him here, so if you want to know what happened, you will never know unless I tell you or I manage to tell you or you manage to make me tell you. Anw, then came some glitches in the lunch, where the arrangement was poor and the venue was wrong. Mr Chia was so angry after that, hopefully Macs cooled him down. FREAKING SCARY!!!!!!! Then, there was some change in schedule, so school tour was last. During Karaoke, I cooped myself up in ctrl room. Then there were random ppl like Amanda, Eunice, Raphael and etc, but we were all trying to contribute to the karaoke. Raphael indeed, was funny. Kept on making fun of Eunice, but best part was:

Eunice: Why you never make fun of Amanda one?

Raphael: Its a man de, not a woman de...

BEST MAN! Mr Yap v.s. Raphael...

Then was peformance, school tour I dunno what happened, seemed fail but I think my objectives were met somewhere.

In anyway, I thank all who contributed to this CIP again. All the sorrow, boredom, anger, and more, I cannot take that away. CIP's objectives were never: fun, run smoothly, very fast, easy. It was purely learning to serve. Well, it could have been fun if all of you participated in the correct way, like some did, and objectives met. At the end of the day, you definitely learn something no matter how boring or how poor it is conducted. But the poor conducted thing, is really many pop-ups lah...

During School tour, was claening up the control room and settling all the stuff if you want to know. I love doing behind the scene's work :) Mr Chia was having lecture, this time Mr Chia Guo Hao, not Mr Chia Lee Kwang. CHIM CHIM PHYSICS, semiconductor, then proton and all that, talk about Quantum Physics, tutorials and etc etc. COULD NOT UNDERSTAND A SINGLE THING. But nvm. shun qi zi ran. Maybe I will next time.

Friday nothing much liao le... Only the practice results...

Photo taken during open hse.

Then ytd was Open Hse lor. Reach school early lor. Took fei ren's bus. Took pic too. then he waved. so friendly! haha. then was talking to jun for long time before open hse start. Talking about somebody I mentioned just now, yes.... But anw, open house was like zzz. I think UG is the least popular booth, so few parents came. Well, managed to explain for around 4 to 5 parents, then others. Only 1 or 2 were very interested, kept asking about CCA points, what we do, tough, enjoyable, courses like shooting and a lot more... Very determined sia. After that ate at KFC with jun.

preparing to go home, jun went pyl. Mum called at bartley, then say i can go out. so told her go for MRT stuff, then chiong to JUR for dunno what, cos was super early. but managed to leave early since i spotted trains, and catch 3920B on 66!!!!! Anw, no Herbalife for me liao :( but managed to see 101/102, which was modified. Also saw many adverts that I had no updates on for NSEW, and Clementi PSDs. Bukit Gombak also. 3920B was quite nice... Then went Kranji spam JB Mk3. spammed ard 15 Mk3 only... Somemore a lot of blur ones. So sad.
Even sadder now, cos Button starting from P4 and Webber in P1 again. Haiz. I hope he does not win, but with his super fast car, its likely he takes it all again, unless he got DNF-ed, or pit stop problem.

Fate sometimes is for you to resign to it? I dont think so. Though I do sometimes, but you will see the light at the end, leading you to the correct pathway. It really does make you enlightened sometimes, that things start to turn around, and become better. well, there is always another thing to look foward to when something does not appear. But will that still be the case when you're old? hmmm. anw, poor jeremy. "Pull harder! But dont spoil the door lah!" HAHA.

Last day of school

2010-05-26T21:37:00.000+08:00

Tmr is CIP. and also return of report book. MK3 spammage on Monday was quite a success. only 2 bad things: 1) A random passer-by asked me and jun you if we were doing project. I just said yes, cos there was a MK3 cameo approaching. 2) Failed, rahter blurred shot of long-awaited 842M. Was on 89 somemore! wah... quite pissed.

today last day. then got gl by ms pear, say i use stone age stuff, and somemore say i pathetic. wlao eh. she nvr use before meh? zzz nvm lah, nvr good in drawings, thats me. Mrs Shu also scaring me. Coming back next term with Mrs Phua?!?! Then PC, chaos. Changed seats, and mined got changed after being changed. Though Chi test got a considerably high mark (but nt gd enough {dont see this **** ****}), and got nearer to (________), but I am sitting beside (<><><>). LA, okok, Kumaran left her phone in class this time round. "Have a pigeon hole in our class!" Srsly! Leave her laptop next lah... She was searching at the tables outside SR2: Where is it? Where is it?

Then disecting heart in bio. Got scolded, on his b'day somemore. REALLY SORRY!!!!! FORM CLASS SOMEMORE LEH. Wonder how Im gonna communicate with him tmr.. Especially if he is the one driving. In fact, he is the one likely to drive us down, since if not wrong mr tan dont drive, then mr koh i dun think he will, liu lao shi even lesser possiblity. liu lao shi drive honda fit, mr koh honda city, both i know liao. so left mr ng... anw, after was math. then chao came in. nvr da zhao hu, dunno if she rmb me but nvm. then end of math liao. how will tmr be? how will my gpa be? all a mystery.

"Do not go by a common path. Go on your own and create a trail"

PASAR MALAM DOWNSTAIRS

2010-05-23T21:42:00.000+08:00

Almost typed Downstaris. LOL

PASAR MALAM PICS.... Guess which one has got my family inside!!! Haha.

Its been a long time since I went to one, and even longer time since one came to my house. Now Pasar Malam has gone up with technology, their machines can auto add points.

1) Usually you hear people shouting and promoting their products. For the first time, there was somebody using pre-recorded tape and it went: 走过路过，一定要看过！

2) The game stall is the one that has the machine thingy. They even record down your points to your card, like a manual timezone. They say: you can find us at other pasar malams, so its ok if u don't want to change now. The card has an email and website. MY GOD

Me: So high-tech

Daddy: They are going inter-national. Next time you can find them at Mumbai na, India!

Slacking now dunno why, going back to do work soon. Watched Dr Goh's farewell. A great contributor. But Mummy keeps saying that Ex-president Ong Teng Cheong got a poor farewell. She was saying that cos he did not follow the rules, then ... don't like him though the people like him. Anyway, ytd was SH EDS concert. Not bad lah... At least I could understand a bit though I did not read the book much, like 1-2 pages.

Anyway, I learnt from the arcade game something: Two heads are better than one, but are two people really better than one?

if you have 4 pairs of hands, the balls that go in has to be at correct timing. Some instances, they knock into each other, none go in. Others one, and sometimes, very few times, two. So, definitely we have to think about it. Certain things is good for teams, but all things? Im not so sure. Certain situations suit teams, others do not. Think about it.

Got Tao-ed by somebody. Damn sad? ok bah.

CO-OPERATION

2010-05-22T12:00:00.000+08:00

I suddenly dawned upon this in the midst of LEVEL EXPERIENCE.
I used to wonder, what is the difference between Teamwork and Cooperation? Therefore I did not really give a huge fuss and ask for the change over the SCAR to STAR. Inevitably, STAR sounds nice (Thought CARS could be good from ACRS) compared to SCAR.

However, I just realised it may have been a mistake to do so. I would rather SCAR, or ACRS.

Co-operation has a vital part to play in all parts of our life. Teamwork is just present and needed in teams. Of course its important. For teamwork to work, you need cooperation. However, teamwork does not apply when you are to work with people you do not know for a short period of time.

Havoc comes when people do not cooperate. I tell you there are no more lots in the carpark, you do not cooperate and squeeze your way through. I tell you to quiet, you ignore and do not cooperate becos u do not know the importance of it. Imagine this: If the world is coming to an end, and somebody is to given an announcement about which direction to go, what to do, who does what. But the people do not cooperate. They simply say: I dont want to do this, let me die, or why is he able to do that while I have to do this. All these require cooperation to work, if not, we will all die in this situation.

When people do not cooperate, it can be very chaotic. For example, if u see in movies like "The Day After Tomorrow", you can see this large group of people walking of on their own, unwilligly to cooperate with the other smaller group which manages to survive in the end. Sometimes, listening and cooperating simply helps a lot.

If everyone can just cooperate, life would be much simpler for everyone else, especially the leaders, like in class, if u dont cooperate, then things can never be done. You have to learn to obey and just accept certain ways of doing things, and not be so fussed over little things. You can be unhappy over it, but if you could cooperate, there would at least be progress. "Would you like to make all the decisions instead?" "It is not easy you know? Simply just fulfilling everyone's needs, its clearly impossible, because no minds think the same. Even great minds think alike. Every great mind still has their own way of doing things.

I realise lesser and lesser cooperation can be seen in the world today. Be it lesser education, or yes there is education but lesser importance, I really dont know. I just hope that more people could see the importance of this, and CO-OPERATE.

Level Experience and these few days

2010-05-21T21:25:00.000+08:00

Feeling the pressure. Not from the sand, but from the work. Next week has got 3 tests, and 1 pop quiz? haiz haiz.

From the level experience, I learnt quite a number of things that weren't in the objectives.

1) Low cost doesnt give good quality, risk the dirtiness and poor facilities.

2) There is a maximum point to a person's perserverance and will. This person was saying that we must win just a few days ago, then for another competition it was all lose. Well, unsure if it was a lie or what, but if it was true, then take the above sentence.

3) Fairness of life can never be the same. Sometimes you're lucky, or else u are just at the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong people.
4) Learn to accept things the way they are, of course certain things are of importance to you, but you don't have to be so ???? about it

More another time? I love my avatar guess :)

Dr Goh Tribute; Life and Life

2010-05-19T20:37:00.000+08:00

Dr Goh Keng Swee. Sad Sad. Though he did not contribute to much things recently, but if you do not realise, he actually did many things. If not for him, we may not be facing so much stress, but at the same time be in such a cool class, having awesome friends. If not for him, we would have lost many ministers in the parliament, and we would not have such a great transport system. Even the little things in life, like simply being able to live, we have to owe quite a part to him. "Mr Problem Solver" is definitely somebody that we should all know of and pass it on to the next generations. Speaking of which, tmr if u realise, the state flag will be half-risen. Gonna spend some time at the auditorium tmr.

Today was ok ok... A bit of fun, a bit of "wakening". Life is a complex thing, but we will live with it. After watching the show on Ch8 on monday night about the person that went through liver transplant, I really think I should cherish life, and whats in store for me. Though I really hate or dread certain things sometimes, or I just feel so bad and distressed about my life, but it is definitely amazinghow we all manage through our lives. I was so afraid that he would just pass away like this, though I know he likely lived, but I was really scared. Then I found out it was something normal, I was like... But it was dangerous. Yes, many things in our life are dangerous,but we do live on with risks. What I am facing now, I dunno how long more I have to face it, but I definitely hope I can have a new "life", just overcoming or having a change in certain things. To let go or to continue pursuing? I really don't know.

3ERP. Life now

2010-05-16T13:38:00.000+08:00

Year 3 is Year 3. Everyone in class is getting above 3.4. Upstairs people leh? 4 lor. So busy that now I sledom update my transport Web and it is just like a Lost City. I wonder when I can touch it again.
As of today, I have got 77 Mk IIIs. Not a very good progress, with so many going to dereg soon. Leylands got 3 only, but nvm, theres a long way ahead. Level Experience??? O.O Class recently seems like a whole change. Everything just seems so unstable. My geog test was like ..... My geog essay was like...... I used to believe that Humans was just LA. But Ms Pear said no...
Recently, new bus interests surfaced from DHS. Hin Weng!!!! Though not very avid not ardent, but its good to know of such people, cos u don't really find people of such interests in IP schools. Also met AEW5001 by chance. A very nice guy that mixes Chi and Eng. Thanks for the 89e MK III !!!! Anw, 7888K started running.
Jenson at the top of driver's standings now. Later is the Monaco Grand Prix. One of the drivers once said this: "Racing in Monaco is just like riding a bicycle around your living room". True enough, thats the reason why Button isnt too optimistic about protecting his driver's standings, and Alonso isnt too as well since he is going to start from Pits.

"when the going gets tough, the tough gets going"
"tough times don't last, tough people do"
by people whom im unsure of.

was discussing this with my dad while my sis was playing in the arcade:
me:"how come there's no clock here ah? let me see your watch?"
dad:"mmmm"
me:"they want people to play with no time constraints in mind.. 让时间被遗忘."
dad:"so casino should not have clock also lor"
me:"good theory"

Its amazing how people just realise these things, make connections and find joy.

April no fools

2010-04-02T10:23:00.000+08:00

April fool isnt April fool when nobody is fooled. April fool is April's fool when everyone has been tricked. Like seriously tricked. The teachers aren't (3F and 3C). Ok nvm. Kaleidoscope was ........................................................ Kaleidoscope. What can it be? Most memorable was the ice ball lah. Finally got to try it. A cultural cuisine that is at the brink of being abandoned. Ate it twice... But daddy ate the 10 cents one in his childhood... Talked to benjy even more on elections, wah... amazing parliament. Wanted to go for class outing, but then too few ppl, so got Class Tea Break. From 10+ became 5, me + 4 others. Then helped check bus routes by bus guides, 8 mouths were talking non-stop. It was all alright until they saw the sticker, shant talk more co u arent suppose to know. Gossiping is like ooh... G&G are together. But in the end I helped the govt in some kind of re-allocation, and it should be implemented soon. Ays...

Stupid lar. April fool only 1 cameo spotted by me. 449R on 88 (BRBP SP). Then NEL got more updates...

Crapper SMB137A: Scania K320UD (SBST), Scania K230UB (SMRT) . Apparently a cock-eyed user, and cock-eyed till he see wiki wrong info also dunno. Sources put LTA, SMRT, SBST, sgwiki somemore, then put all these crap info.

Level Camp was great but all events after was not so fortunate

2008-05-26T12:29:00.000+08:00

Dear all,
I enjoyed level camp. Okay, if you do not know what level camp means, it means the whole level, or cohort, in this case, sec 1s or year1s. It was a great time there, at Downtown East chalet. Amazing race was fun, YOG games was ok, Fusion night was great, the meals could be improved and going home was shiok. It was bad after that, with electives not very fun as lin yu was around all the time and we did not get our Tablet PC, I got quite low, and I had been dissapointing my mum in one particular way a few times and yet I do not know it. Plus, I have bad flu too. Don't feel like going on...

NPCC tough and strong, I love part and I hate part...

2008-05-04T15:17:00.000+08:00

Dear all,
Cadet Lionel here. I am pleased to tell all of you that I am going to get my first badge soon! It will be all the other's first badge too. That is the road safety badge! Cool, because we will become marshals at the park. But it made me think of the times where I went there with my primary school and it was raining! I was very angry as we went home so early and I did not get to play the 'go kart'. Well, I look forward to play it but I do not think I will. Anyway, there are more activities. My favourite part of NPCC is actually the gun and the foot drill. But, I hate PT and in another way like PT too! A tip: to think of PT as a good and funny thing, just keep thinking of PT as Police and thief the whole time when you do PT. Ha ha... Never mind. The commands are interesting. We just learnt a very long 5 part command yesterday during our training course! Wow! But one think, that is I am going to miss my NCOs because they are leaving and a new batch of NCOs are taking us, which is the year 3s. But never mind, I will continue to try to enjoy NPCC life; the life as a cadet from Dunman High...

I miss my punggolites and my punggolite days!

2008-04-13T17:54:00.000+08:00

Dear everyone,
I like my dunmanian life now but whenever I am troubled, I miss Punggol. Seriously, punggolites were the best. The prefect camps were really nice. I remember me and melvin and many other won the building of a structure but we did not want to bring it in front as it was not attached well. We were very fortunate as we were the only group whose structure did not fell from Mrs wee's file wind. But I remember 3 minutes for the advertisement and that weas what reminds me of them too as we were imitating it for a period of time during the camp. I remember 6-9 and 5-9, my most beloved class of all, we were a little bad but it was really fun. I used to love guarding the door but Christopher took over. It was always funny when there were false alarms. I loved that class for they were nice to me unlike my P3 and P4 class. Ijust cannot bear to leave all of you, especially my four other best friends. Tze Ning always played his hand. Merrelyn used to have a puppy, we always wrote in each others' autograph book and it was very nice though a little naughty. We stuck together and we won the whimsical moment for both years using High School Musical! I'm sure you all still remember? I really hope we can come back for reunion some time again then we can have good memories and we can all share our good new moments together! I miss all of you!!!!

I hate 1A Wang Yiren! And her gang too!

2008-04-10T20:15:00.000+08:00

Dear all dunmanians and teachers,
Today we wanted to be effecient so we had strted to move today after school. I was a little excited but happy to help the class, contribute. Somewhat, me and YongXin were the only boys. Though YongXin did not really do anything, I am glad he was there to witness what I had never thought to encounter in Dunman High School, and in fact, my primary school, Punggol Primary which was not very known, was much better and I did not encounter such stupid things like what 1A Wang Yiren and gang did. I did not stay back to move with 1J(Jeno) my very own beloved class without eating my lunch and not completing my homework yet having to see and tolerate all that nonsense! Now I know why Regina Ng Qi Jing of 1F, the previous head prefect of Punggol Primary say that 1A(altair) was the naughtiest and why all Jenorians was very afraid of changing classes with 1Altair. Too angry to type on...

Wee Sheng came to visit!

2008-04-07T19:45:00.000+08:00

Dear all,
I am so happy today. Finally a friend has visited this blog! And he is my first best friend and forever will be my best friend. So lucky to be able to meet him and chat again! I will be adding his blog in the links you know. Goping to post about NPCC first training soon. Keep a lookout. Sorry for not blogging so long if you were the first one to see my blog and pls leave a comment so that I know you have visited. I will not be putting up a tagboard until I get help how to do it. Goooooooodbye for today.

April is here!!!

2008-04-06T11:31:00.000+08:00

Dear all out there,
April is now here!! How do you all feel? Well, I still cannot wait for my new laptop(tablet PC) and the training. I cannot live without one you know, since Dunman High relys so much on computer and internet work. Still, I feel so fortunate tobe in one of the 3 classes using the tablet PC provided by the school. For those who are unable to use it, all you can do is to hope that these 3 classes do well so that you will all have a chance to use it in the very near future, and if yes, hope that MOE will grant your wish! Still waiting though... Go on dunmanians!
Yours faithfully,
Lionel

Hi! I'm Back globemates

2008-03-30T09:03:00.000+08:00

Dear fellow globemates,
I'm sure you know about the one hour blackout recently around the globe. I am greatly happy with this activity as it has let me known that more people are concerned about global warming. I hope whoever reads this is too. Though not the whole entire globe has done it, but this is a good start. I tried to do a little contribution but my mum still wants to stay at home, so the others were sharing electricity with the public. But somehow, some people believe that this could be worse??

Hi to all!

2008-03-28T21:43:00.000+08:00

Dear all,
Hi to all! Will add more things when I have more time!
