I just didn't have the mood to blog. Anyway, Im currently suffering from somewhat a "post-drama syndrome". It's like after watching (for long hours) of a particular drama in a short period of time and suddenly I feel as if Im inside that world. Everything in reality feels surreal and so on....it's a strange feeling. that's what you get for chionging drama/anime...
It's over, yes. I finished the whole thing (like I said in the last post). and now, i just can't accept it that it's over! i wan the story to continue, i feel quite emotionally attached to all e characters as time pass...and now it's over. damn....
Good things don't last forever. Now just to add another jdrama on to my list of favourites, " Pride ". is a really good watch, don't miss it. It's more of a "feel good show", and a "character -> problem (either big or small) and flashbacks- > character development (plus tons of tears, crying, emotions...) -> nice resolution". The plot revolves around a team of ice hockey players and each of their own unique problems and how they face them. Of course, characters help each other out, and takes their turn doing so. While on the whole, they were developing e protagonist's relationship with his gal.
Overall, it's a very optmistic show. Shows the good and positive side of life. Characters as well as their development was very exceptional. the main character, Haru has a very "deceptive" role in the show. In some aspects, you may think his "screwed up" in his attitude, and the way he do things can be quite drastic and negative. However, end of the day, you will always realise (or they make you realise) that he has good intentions in all his actions. And Haru (played by Kimura Takuya) is just a "one-of-a-kind" character. Childish, yet matured. And cute too.
Im going to blab more about how awesome the show is by doin a brief summary on the protagonist's relationship (which is the gist of the show, while having all his teammates problems as just fillers or placeholders to let the story develop). Haru known as an "iceman" is his team captain as well as the ace of the team, "team scorpions".
Now on to the interesting part,
Haru forbids himself to love anybody (his rules on love are strict because his mother abandoned him when he was four and left for another man). And so whenever he takes some interest on a girl, he will make the girl agree with a contact, which is to treat their relationship like a "game". he calls it a game and the rules are openly known to both parties. This is to ensure both parties do not get emotional when there is a breakup. Any party is allowed to annouce "gameover" when they're bored. He mets a girl Murase Aki and in his eyes he seems to see her like a "girl of the previous century". (which in my opinion, is a girl with very traditional and conversed views of love). Aki-chan is waiting for her boyfriend abroad to return but apparently there has not been any contact for 2 years. This sparkled some interest in protagonist. And thus he approaches her to play his "game".
In the contract (which i assume is soley based by words and no signing of papers). Haru agrees to deal with Aki's loneliness while waiting for her boyfriend. While Aki hangs out with Haru in exchange. Either way, his game is designed in a way for both parties to benefit in some way.
And so. as you have guessed. things go well, and the game turns out not to be a "game" anymore. "when he returns, we will just smile at each other and say Bye bye".
Im not going to any detail. But this "game" thing was really amusing. More of interesting. Kinda proves that opposite gender will develop feelings even though from the start they aren't allowed to.
In the end they still did.
Somethings are just hard to pen down. like for example, how Haru's serious face can change into a sweet smile when he said "when he returns, we will just smile at each other and say Bye bye". It's just tooo.....innocent and there's this bittersweet feeling in this words and body lanquage.
Yes i find it hard to go on ranting because people won't bother to read what ive written. Awww..shrugs, now i feel like going on a drama spree. I may be getting too emo after watching drama.
The problem is actually, we will lose our peception of reality in life. As we get more and more attached to such "unrealistic and imaginative" worlds, reality seems surreal and vice versa. It's bad, infact, actually too bad of it can be dangerous. One thing I noticed is that after watching a drama, (for many hours). just go down to the street and look at people. And then you'll start to realize that the real world isn't perfect with good looking people everywhere you put your eyes at. Somtimes, dramas can be too extreme that even extras are even good looking. This is one major contrast I experience. It's like a world where there ain't any bad looking people. (except maybe even opponents/enemies). but to be a good drama watcher one must be able to differentiate between reality and the opposite of it.
I know im talking too much. But i have loads more to talk about. And im not joking this tim.
Oh yes. I want to talk about the standard thing Ive noticed in animes especially Naruto and Bleach. And generally fighting animes. Naruto and bleach, have many identical points. Have u noticed in battles there is a general trend.
1) Always only 2 people engages in the same battles. (and in that wonderful world it seems so amazing that most of the time fights are 1v1...??)
2) there are many forms or upperlevels that people refuse to enter at the start of the battle. (i will elaborate more later)
3) after tears/crying, and some flashbacks characters become significantly stronger?
4) many twists in battles involve unlocking seals/revealing a secret technique/using some self-harming risky technique....and in some cases, allies arriving/retreating...
Okay about point 2. There's this concept about Shikai,Bankai about released forms. And in naruto, he has this kyuubi form and sasuke has his curse seal lvl whatever. while rock lee/gai has their opening of gates. Choji has his pills...(to make him ubber strong but hurts himself). it's hard to see a character without "upper levels" that have to be released slowly as the battle progresses. This has a major impact on what we see. And this is why battles are able to drag so long.
It's always (in a 1v1) both characters fight and one is owning the other. The one that is being pwned goes thru some sad background music and flashbacks and says something along the lines of " im not going to be beaten by you so easily. " or "actually i was saving this special technique". then he morphs into his stage 2. (sorta "evolves" during the battle itself). then in the following episode he wil pwn his enemy real bad. and then in some cases there will be a plot and story development for his enemy too and his enemy wil morph too in his upper stages and this goes on until one character has nothing left to "evolve" to.
Ever noticed this thing when characters NEVER goes all out at the beginning. it's something i like to call the "law of conversation" and that is to allow our manga chapters to go on, and on and on. and battles to be endless. Imagine if every character were to go all out from the start, the battle would be short. think "power rangers". i always wondered why they did not summon their zords from the beginning and crash the noobling monster into bits and pieces. and waited for the monster to grow and upsize instead? this was so strange but whenever i asked someone, they said "they probbaly didn't wan to destroy the buildings..." yes but no one told me "it was a tactic always used by producers again and again.
The trend of "when the good guy is losing, he goes through tough emotions, crys/tears, and the show warps into some awesome flashback with rocking background music, then the good guy gets stronger and pwns the bad guy". notice how cliche this has become.
Even in animes like naruto and bleach. it seems like main characters only lose on selected occasions. But a show with the main guy losing every single time is really not nice to watch. So "feel good factor" affects what we watch too...
If a show has too much of a "feel good" factor, that means, it's far from reality. the truth is, reality is definitely not always kind...we (as main characters in our own lives) do not what people refer to ask "the author's powers" for us to win,win,win,win again and again and pass our obstacles simply with flashbacks and ubber background music...
And yea, im seriously talking too much.
It's late and I just got home from dinner. Haven bathe yet *yucks*..and I should be going to soon. and then sleep.

Nothing much to post
to wr:I didn't know keeping 3 rabbits in a cage is illegal. but if it is, it doesn't make sense. u so free to debate with him u go buy him an extra cage lor. or some pokeballs if he need them. I dunno why u dislike human beings, but anyway u are entitled to your own thoughts and I have no right over them.Anyway the pidgey thing was random lameness.
Gasp, I really have nothing to post about.
Gee...
Im too lazy to catch drifloon
Maybe nxt week...

I know holidays are approaching for most of the population out there and for us, one week is already gone just like that.
"Time flies, even faster than pidgey"~ty
aww that's such a sucky quote. But anyway. I am utterly disappointed with myself for letting a fly/wasp/bee like creature escape my room. Basically it wasn't big, but it was fast, and kinda it had the right strategies. For starters, it began flying very close to the walls, or objects, (so as I prevent me from swinging my rac at it). finally to escape thru the other window (one of my windows are closed and it probably figured it couldn't exit by there and im trying to KILL it), it had to leave all the walls and it was left vulnerable for awhile. I knew it was critical point in that battle. I stood there, poised to strike. and when the perfect timing came I swung my rac and it.I knew it. I hit it, but apparently it was smaller than the holes in my racket ( u the squares of the string ). it flew thru it. and i was like damn!. it flew out of the window. I let the first flying-pest escape!! damn.
That's a meaningless paragraph, but i think it's quite interesting.
I wanted to post this yesterday (all of em actually). but late at night (around...erhm 10?) i felt hungry and i figured there was nothing nice. So I decided to set out to buy Mac at Limbang. I took a slow stroll there. (and thanks to xinyi to accompany me on the phone..if not i will be bored to death..). and when i reach there, it was just closed 5 mins ago. I was like damN!. so i decided to go to lot 1 to buy my food.
And then after walkin to lot 1 and back (whole trip took like an hour plus, i was walking slowly damnit)....and then...finally reached home at 11 plus. (late 11 plus infact). ate my Mac slowly while watching some anime, and then finally went to sleep. very late. And thus, I woke up damn late today..
Hais.
Ok, I read Wr's blog. About keeping rabbits in cage, here's my 2cents.
First, it is not against the law to keep rabbits in a cage. Neither there is a law against keeping 3 rabbits in a small cage. I have not seen how small is small, but still, there is nothing you can do about it. save that effort.
"You cannot compare animals to humans". And that is very true. Though it does not sound nice, this is the fact of reality. Animals are forever a lesser bunch and that is why humans owns the world.
If you want to protect animals, protect them as a whole. Don't be bias towards rabbits, dogs (i know you have the tendancy to..) just because they have cute lil faces. what about the other animals like chicken, pigs, fish. Unless you intend to go vegeterian, you have no right to talk about animal cruelty. You preach about people being inhumane, but you still go on eating meat just like another human being. This is simply being a hypocrite, pretending to care for animals while in your heart you just want to protect the ones you like.
Selective protection, is really childish.
If you're right about this, I can complain to my neighbour and demand they do not keep their fishes in a pond. And maybe one day it will be illegal to keep plants potted. As that is not their natural habitat.
Rabbits, dogs are cute. That's why you think they deserve protection. When a part of an animal strikes some liking in your heart, your emotions will act according because you love the animal. This is why you see cat lovers, dog lovers, rabbit lovers and so on and so forth. Have you seen...a lizard lover? cockroach lover? All of them are equal, they are all animals, let it be insect,amphibia,bird,reptile or mammel. they are all animals. there is not border seperating rabbits and cockroaches. no one said rabbits have higher rights as compared to lizards. However, we kill at instinct the first lizard/cockroach pest we see.
There is no line seperating animals. If rabbits seem cute, and you want to protect them. Fine. Dogs are men's best friend and I do not deny that. That is why eating dog meat is inhumane, I also agree with that. But inorder to preach animal rights, you ought to go vegeterian and love all animals. What I see is (or care about) your downright biasness for animals, and not animal cruetly..
But still. keeping 3 rabbits in a small cage is...kinda...cruel. I feel that is good to be vocal in the things you believe in. But certainly your neighbour does not deserve to die just because he keeps 3 rabbits in a small cage. there are alot more cases of cruelty rampant in this world, and if there was a kira, he ought to judge those first..Recently there was a news about teenage girls kipnapping a baby. People trying to be hitmonchan and punching each other. All sorts of rape/murder cases happen everyday as we speak. Human cruelty shoudln't be underestimated. Just because we live in a safe country does not mean we should flaunt our security by starting to get involved in minor things like animal cruelty. And again, keeping 3 rabbits in a small cage is really negligible thing to consider when you view things from a bird's eye view. It's almost like how you can't see an electron..
I feel that he is not wrong, but he could have done better. But seriously, you expect your neighbour to leave his rabbits walking around his house. No one sober would do that seriously. And one day if his rabbit decided to play dota how?
Ok that's my 2cents. I tried not to be aggresive. I am not opposing what you think and I share fairly the same sentiments as you regarding animal cruelty. it's wrong, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's like smoking is wrong but you can't purify every single smoker out there.

Just another day
It's a double post.
Basically today felt just like another day. not another lifeless holiday but I actually was kept occupied for almost the entire day. Morning went to school to collect physics test paper as well as go thru the answers ( and i paid no attention so heck ). and then hanged out awhile before walking home. (the sun can kill, trust me..)...especially at like 12pm.
Rotted for awhile till 4pm where I left my house for the routine dental checkup. It's pertaining to my braces. It's my 1st checkup so I wonder what they would do. On the way, I decided to buy some Mac and I ate a meal before checkup, and woots, I got kinda "told off" my the dentist and she said my hygiene is bad. Please, for goodness sake you don't expect me to carry a toothbrush wherever I go right. And for that matter, colgate or whatever you have. True, it was gross. Even I who could not possibly have seen it could imagine. Fragments of fish, and french fries particles. And aura of milo surrounding my teeth....WOW.
And then. she simply removed the metal off the bottom layer of my teeth. washed the entire thing and put it back again, tightening it. And the top, nothing done. I wonder why? Perhaps it needs time to be adjusted. (the top and bottom layers might be displaced at different rates maybe?). And now, I have contrasing white below and brownish milo colour on top. Woah.
I hope the disturbing contrast will go away as I brush my teeth tommorow morning.
So tommorow is a day without plans yet. Thursday. Fast fast fast. Almost one week gone and I haven't really played much. yeps, been watching Eyeshield 21 and it's Devil Bats VS Seibu Wild gunmans!! woooohoo it's very stimulating and intense. Sena versus Riku and the childhood story. Priceless! thumbs up. Such shows springs up at the correct time. And it banishes boredom and restlessness from the realms of my life. Im at episode like err 71 now. only 8 more till where have been released.
Though it is holidays, I should be sleeping soon.
Seriously...some people think I cannot tell the difference between serious and funny. Sometimes, I make comments that may be insulting. But that is because of the nature of the way I speak. I am blunt, and frank. So if you find what I say insulting, it's probably the truth.
Somehow, this reminds me of the headmaster in "the english teacher" which I studied in lit last year. LOL. i still have quotes stuck at the back of my mind.
Why can't there be a way to dumb things we do not want to remember. You see, our brains are so amusing. They are memory cards with tons of memory space. (probably trillion of gigabytes or something or more. infinite maybe?). They do not allow you to sort your files (they are chronological, in other words). They do not allow you to select and view the files you want (unless they are damn recent). Apparently, some people suffer (or most people) from random file deletion (especially when they need it). And randomly when the memory card feels like it, it supports random playback of files. (even those you do not want to see.!!).
And, it doesn't allow people to delete files. So as not to digress, I can't delete off stuff I don't want. (yes, those bloody lit quotes)
I would sooner shallow poison than brinjal<-come to think of it, i haven't eaten brinjal in my entire life before.
Yikes. Our brain is such a lousy memory card (or harddrive for this matter). Would sony develop a better one please.
Im digressing and digressing and digressing. This will never end. And Im not running out of things to say<---or is this the first step to self-deception..
Oh yes. My mom bought some icecream which is like super duper ultra l33t nice. I don't know why I wasn't expecting much and after my first bite I was like "@_@". Woah, this is l33t. And now my mouth is watering thinking of that super nice chocolate icecream. And i don't even know the brand (w8 i'll go check it later). I better go eat some before my brothers finish everything. (which i believe by tommorow, yes the entire tub..)
Speaking of food. I realized Ive been eating alot. And ive been putting on weight, though I have not ballooned up or anything (drifloon lol)....or gone to the route of no return (eg.daniel). I don't really care. To survive lectures, White grape juice or peach tea is required (COMPULSORY!!). So thats calories easily gainedthere. And then i eat instant noodles with eggs (and lots of salt and chilli) like late at night....Thankfully, Im still playing sports at a regular basis. If not i'll balloon like a snorlax or a certain someone. But rest assured, it will only take 2 weeks of badminton to lose all the bad stuff gained by junk food and goodies.

critical strikes in tests?
"add luck can increase physics grades, as there is a chance to critical strike and score beyond full marks"~quote from collin tan.
The problem is, how to add luck?
Collin that...._____, never study get beyond full marks. insane. seriously imbal.
This proves my luck skill is still alot behind. By not studying, I only achieve 17/25. And that is lacking behind like by so much.
But pity those who studied.
I thought...I would FAIL. seriously. I wasn't lying. and I swear. (except the v=u+at eqn thingy, it was just some random "humour"..., and it was an illustration and figurative speech about how badly ive done it..)
And somehow i got almost all the marks for that momenteum page. When I didn't know what I did and how i did it. but thankfully, that saved me.
7 mark giveaway for some heat cycle thing. I I lost 5 marks just for not studying and not knowing the formula...
The rest, my faint memory of things saved me, and those vague scenes of the lecture notes (last time i saw them=like 1 week ago?). somehow managed to piece together at the correct time. As I strained my mind to think back, and recall. I manage to see the light and recall those formulas.
the strange thing is...
The effort I put in now, is certainly alot lesser than those days in BP. And during those days, the effort I put in was almost negligible. And I always failed my tests in BP.(never pased anyshit in my entire 2 years in uppersec) This shows that EITHER 1) tests in JC are much easier ; 2) Ive grown smarter. But i try to believe it's the former. Whats wrong with JC? it's just too easy.I don't remember my sec4 tests being easy at all. especially amath. killer vlee. *pwned*. Or maybe I lived my life drunk, and I have a very screwed up perception of things when I recall about the past.
I shouldn't be so arrogant. There are people who slack as much as I do and score full marks. I hate to admit the fact that Collin's intelligence in math & sci can be frightening and I gotta admit that his smarter than me, at least in those 2 aspects....
To those who studied and got full marks (or close). U deserve a clap and some cookies but not respect because you put in the sweat and tears for the marks.
I respect geniuses, not labourers.
The problem is, how to add luck?
Collin that...._____, never study get beyond full marks. insane. seriously imbal.
This proves my luck skill is still alot behind. By not studying, I only achieve 17/25. And that is lacking behind like by so much.
But pity those who studied.

=.=
I have nothing much to say actually. But im feeling kinda bored here.
It was raining and it just stopped. Damn, why can't the rain continue. Continue, continue continue pls. The rain gives the mood a really mystical aura, somewhat surreal. it makes me wanna go to sleep. it makes me lie on my bed and feel drowsy...i need the rain.....
I have nothing to do right now...
How can people get so stressed up when Im sitting here having absolutely nothing to do.., that's one big mystery.
I wanna go out, yet im lazy.
I wanna play dota. but i have no mood to.
FF3 awaits, but im too lazy to get my eyes glued on something flickering screen that gives me seizures/headaches after awhile. (yes, i get dizzy, i don't know why..)
I just played the piano not long ago.
I just ate my lunch
I have nothing to play. Wait, I do. but. it's just the feeling of restlessness.

this is soooo disturbing
If you think my posts are disturbing, read this.http://community.livejournal.com/sgsecrets
It's featured on newpaper today anyway. And it's soooo disturbing. You'll see the ugly (and really ugly) side of human beings.
Yes you'll see many gay/les/bi and also emo fags/sluts..etc....all kinds of people there.
I can't help it but feel extremely disturbed.
Mostly about inferiority complex.
And I can see that gals are more emo in general. And more have inferiority complex. (guys do have, but probably more mild..)
Im very tempted to say "whats wrong with these people". but i am not sinless. Sometimes, I find myself having disturbing thoughts too.
What is disturbing is that what is posted is merely a collection of people who bother to post their deep and dark secrets. What about the others? It makes me view people different.
Inevitably, within us, we judge. We feel inferior sometimes, we get hurt for no reasons. Moodswings, tempers...and our mind experiences comflicting emotions.
I do suffer from these. Well, sometimes. ANd im sooo glad im not a gal, nor I am emo. Seems like girls have it tougher. from what Ive read in that blog.
Though mostly are "down-to-earth" and serious ones. There are quite a number about puppy-love...and love in general.
And a minority are really lame.
For example, " I know this sounds silly but whenever i wash my face in the bathroom im scared to open my eyes because im afraid to see a ghost behind me"
Really hilarious. I mean, yes. in this context. When you're reading all the emo stuff, all the inferiority complex stuff. and then out of the blue, randomly one funny lamearse joke. Can't help it but to giggle to myself.
I didn't read everything, I merely browsed through and read those more "read-able fonts" and those with nicer color contrasts so as not to strain my eyes.
It makes me wonder. Amongst all the thoughts we are thinking each other (trust me, it's alot alot alot and it is too much for us to pen it down)....how much of it is disturbing? how much of it is actually vengeful, how much hurts ourselves.
That's all.....Kinda baffled by those posts in tt site. check it out. it's an eyeopener.
I just realized life's too good to me.

I don't wanna sleep yet
I don't wanna sleep yet.
Holidays is here. But apparently I have nothing much to play. Im even too lazy to even plot out a schedule of what I wanna accomplish for this holiday. And even when I do, it's just for that 30 minutes of selfentertainment. Nothing gets carried out in reality. Anyway.
I just got home about an hour ago from dinner at clementi. It was this buffet style thing where they had a huge variety of food. 2 floors worth of it. You HAVE to climb stairs to get to the other level where there are more food. Everything ranging from sushi, sashimi, laksa, satay, shark fin, pineapple rice and standard buffet style stuff. There were even prawn, clams, and pizza. Sounds nice, and 26 dollars is a really good bargain.
However, one thing that nerfs everything is the concept of "clipping the food you want". When you have a table, they provide you with clips with your tablenumber. Certain food requires you to clip your clip on the mini pole (i dunno how to describe that) and they will serve the food to you. Since the number of clips you have are limited and they only return the clips when the food come, there is a limit to how much of some stuff you can take. This is the biggest down in this entire thing, if not it's perfect. Though the shark fin actually tastes like water.I did not eat alot actually and Im feeling hungry now. What the...
Two useless paragraphs wasted talking about food. I don't really have an idea on what to blog about, but im really tempted to post more controversial stuff.
Anyway, I just rmbed. The bee incident on friday. A retarded bee was harassing my classmates so I decided to slay it. No experience points for that, and not even a cookie, but, the satisfaction is well I would say, not bad. No one feels bad about killing insects,and bees.if not where would we get our bee hoon. And how did I slay it. Easy. A substitude fly swatter, the badminton racket. Just by coincidence I had a heavy racket strung at 28lbs.
That was part one. The bee fell onto the ground. *sPLAt!*. and not only that, it's body seemingly spilt into 2. the first segment was the wings, and the 2nd isn't. It wasn't motionless but you could see that it was dead. Well, i think insects do actually vibrate a little when they die or as they die. Just like how handphones vibrate as you switch them off.
Part 2. Ali took a chair and placed one of it's legs and squash the bee. A really squriky *squeessszz* sound could be heared. And yes...blackish green stuff surrounded it...
Fortunately, no reinforcements came. Bees don't need funerals, they don't need a special squad to bring back it's body for cremation or whatsoever. Well a dead bee probably can't gather honey anymore, so I think it's friends figured that out. Well, speaking about this actually. Im a experienced wasp killer. Ive killed wasps, bees and any harmful insects that enters my room without permission.
As a matter of fact,I could have gained alot more exp if it's friends came along.
Okie, back to the point. It's holidays (and i must be damn bored to be talking about bees). Got some remedial and extra lessons to attend to. Which is such a chore. Mid years after holidays, which is good.
Exam period is definitely good. Early dismissal. On days without paper, go home early. Sleep, play, rest. Anything except study. Woots, exam period rocks too much. It's almost like holiday but you go school and take some papers and go home after that....
So basically it's extended holidays. Well, watered down holidays to be exact.
Im lazy to continue typing, though I have other stuff to talk about. Loads actually.
The truth is, I don't.
SigHing off. Haisss..

It's here!
It's here! It's here! Holidays!!! woooohooo
School was very light-hearted today. mainly cause it was the last day. My parent letter tactic worked well. and i had no troubles for not having a mc.
Had chinese orals, which went pretty. bad. yes. bad. it's been like months since I actually spoken any chinese. And I was stammering very badly. And my topic, is about encouraging teens to read. What an interesting topic (/sarcasm).
Now I probably owe lots of stuff that I need to hand in like soon? (for chinese)
Then, break.
Today is an insanely slack day with tons of breaks, and tons of filler/crap lessons (which have absolute no use at all).
H2 break. (it's my lame way of classifying breaks. H2 breaks are >1 hr, while H1 breaks are 30 minutes long.)
After that was a talk on cyber stuff. Blogging and gaming. (mainly). When they were talking about irresponsible blogs, people beside me started to glare at me with great interest. I know, i know, sometimes what I post can be disturbing. Sorry for that, I am a person that is honest when putting down feelings. I am too honest for my own sake. Everyone thinks disturbing thoughts, everyone has their spirit of racism in them, but no one says it. It's like a silent rule of censorship. Ive read somewhere that Assasination is an extreme form of censorship and that is very true. Blogs are not allowed to hurt people's feelings, so to put in bluntly. we are not allowed to speak what others do not want to hear.
Can't bloggers choose what to write and readers choosing what to read, instead of readers choosing what bloggers ought to write.
that doesn't make sense at all, infact, dollars.
Limitations to blogging, certainly is another disturbing rule itself. This proves that a large majority of the blog readers do not have a "intellectual brain filter system". It's like getting hurt by a knife and blaming the knife. You choose to read the blog, you get hurt by it. It's not the blog's fault, it's your fault for choosing wrongly what to read and what not to read.
And I have not written hurting stuff for a long long time.
It was a gasping shock to me that even rumours can be hurting. I mean, rumours, and all the gossips stuff are all over on the newpapers and there's the paparazzi there doing their job. Celebrities are bearing with all the rumours going around. just because some random human being spreads a rumour about you doesn't mean you're going to commit suicide or feel depressed just because of it.
Anyway, what's a blog without food for thought/provoking stuff? Ans: A boring collection of repetitve events.
Why it is that we are brought up to give model answers for everything. Our society even expects us to be hypocrites even in our own journals. Insanely dumb.
With all the emo stuff/suicidal stuff going around. Protecting the fragile bunch of hopeless people isn't going to help things. Just like a ugly dude dislikes looking at the mirror but hiding the mirror from his view isn't going to solve anything.
It's just another "sweep your rubbish under the carpet" analogy. The more you protect people, the more people take it for granted. And in the next 20 years or so, you'll see people commiting suicide over extremely trivial things. I don't know, and I don't know how to state examples for that, you go figure yourself.
As you can see, I am extremely baffled by "blogging censorship".
It's totally not logical. But there's ONLY one logical explaination to explain this entire thing. Generally speaking, the people in charge have 2 solutions. First, to eliminate the disturbing content on blogs by including fines,jail terms and any other form of deterence/punishment. 2nd, educate the public (and the emo, "iwannajump,iwannacut,iwannaflyetc..." bunch) or the oversensitive people not to be oversensitive while reading blogs and blogs should be "not for the fainthearted". Blogs should be a true mirror reflection of one's thoughts, not a watered down version to suit everyone.
And for convinience, the people in charge choose the former. among the 2 solutions avaliable, only the first is feasible and easier to be executed.
Destroying is always easier than creating.
The only possible way to have a society of mentally strong and fit people is to have everyone be able to read each other thoughts.
What happened to the famous quote " I disagree of what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it ". Apparently, what society is telling me is " I disagree of what you say, but I will hack you to death if you say it ".
Evidently, something is wrong.
True. True. there are people who write hurting comments just for the sake of hurting people. These unjustified flames are totally wrong and should not be posted just for the purpose of evil. That is wrong! however, if i make statements that are controversial (though disturbing in nature), that doesn't mean it's hurting. There will be people who agree, and people who disagree. Just because my side of the argument does not favour yours does not mean that I am hurting you and what you believe. If I say pepsi is better than coke and you're a diehard coke fan, so be it. You don't have to be hurt because I prefer pepsi. Bloggers are here making their stand known, they are not imposing anything on anyone. We trust that readers have brains to figure that out. (but apparently this isn't really evident)...
I have nothing against what the speaker said about gaming.
And then after that talk was another 1.5 hour break. And then was GP (a converted PW lesson). Got back our GP essay test. Though I was really accepting the fact I was going to phail it. I got a really lucky 32/50. I realized I could have gotten higher if I actually had checked my work, OR actually put in some effort into thinking through what I was writing. The topic was " Is the only child a lucky child ". Coming from a family of 4 kids and 3 brothers, I know and experience firsthand the effect that brothers and siblings have on our lifes because I experience the full effect of it. I do not deny that brothers are really emotional support at home and it is only because of them, that's why I feel that I have a bond with my family. Don't overlook that.
There was this plan for the entire class ( at least the guys, which makes up a huge percentage of our class ) to pon Maths tutorial. Turned out, all of us went. but it was a relief teacher. End up watching Ipod video stuff and talking crap and sprouting nonsense. Nthing much actualy, the teacher was teaching functions...and stuff.
Not that i understand a single thing. But I shouldn't really be doing much now because if i actually listen now, I will have nothing to revise before the examination itself. And that makes me guilty. To ensure that I have something to keep myself occupied before examinations, I cannot do my work now.
I sound confident, and that is because I am.

Whoops?
I didn't go to school today. Was I sick? Not really. Was I lazy? Kinda.
Ok actually I like to think that im sick. so as to erase the guilt. so this morning goes like this.
I wake up. Or rather my mom wakes me up. I goes " ahhh 5 minutes ". then 5 minutes drags naturally to 15mins. Then it's 7:15am. So I finally thought that I shouldn't be missing school so I got up. (yes i was suffering from a variation of morning blues, aka a headache). I took a quick bath. not exactly quick I actually used soap and shampoo. I got up and changed into uniform.
Then I went up to my room. Was supposed to actually take my bag so I figured I could check the time. " 7:29 am ".
Wow and school starts in 11 minutes. I have to go downstairs, take my milo, take my socks and shoes. (wear them). andwalk to RUN to school.
And if you did read clearly I was suffering from a headache. Who doesn't in the morning.
I bet 80% of missing school cases are somewhat linked to laziness and morning blues, but still, 44% of all statistics were made up on the spot.
So I decided not to go to school, in the name of "not feeling well". True, I was tired. I was having a "headache"....my throat was sorer than usual. and I actually coughed 3 times and sneezed 4 times. This proves im sick!
Okay, that was exaggeration. Maybe i was just lazy.
Whoops. anyway did I actually say that I was goin to pon school on thursday? Yes, it came through. somehow.
And I slept from 7:30 onwards all the way to 2:50. Now that's pure ownage. Don't get jealous just because you actually went to attend school.
I know skipping school is wrong. But I haven't skip school in a long time. <-and thats a valid reason, mind you.
So now. it's 3:45. Done nothing except sleep and taken lunch. Im feeling very refreshed due to overwhelming sleep. Is it finally time to take out Final Fantasy 3 on DS and finally attempt to play it? Or is it time to go practice some piano.
Bleach's out and ive watched it. now waiting for death note to finish so I can watch it. Apparently tmr is a very slack day in school. is it too early to turn on the holiday mood?
holiday holiday..
just one more day!!! wooots.
Ok actually I like to think that im sick. so as to erase the guilt. so this morning goes like this.
I wake up. Or rather my mom wakes me up. I goes " ahhh 5 minutes ". then 5 minutes drags naturally to 15mins. Then it's 7:15am. So I finally thought that I shouldn't be missing school so I got up. (yes i was suffering from a variation of morning blues, aka a headache). I took a quick bath. not exactly quick I actually used soap and shampoo. I got up and changed into uniform.
Then I went up to my room. Was supposed to actually take my bag so I figured I could check the time. " 7:29 am ".
Wow and school starts in 11 minutes. I have to go downstairs, take my milo, take my socks and shoes. (wear them). and
And if you did read clearly I was suffering from a headache. Who doesn't in the morning.
I bet 80% of missing school cases are somewhat linked to laziness and morning blues, but still, 44% of all statistics were made up on the spot.
So I decided not to go to school, in the name of "not feeling well". True, I was tired. I was having a "headache"....my throat was sorer than usual. and I actually coughed 3 times and sneezed 4 times. This proves im sick!
Okay, that was exaggeration. Maybe i was just lazy.
Whoops. anyway did I actually say that I was goin to pon school on thursday? Yes, it came through. somehow.
And I slept from 7:30 onwards all the way to 2:50. Now that's pure ownage. Don't get jealous just because you actually went to attend school.

Okay, but today's post is not a countdown about e hols. but rather.
1st...
1) WP pls stop your racist comments. Everyone is racist, but you don't have to say it out. the truth hurts.
2) Okay ditto to number 1
3) hey there isn't really a point 3!
but anyway. let's start this post proper.
Today. physics test. Aww. i screwed it like a screwdriver. aww man. i was like 'BLANK'. i know *ahem* no formulas. I know nuuuthing...Well. What will you expect from someone who used V=U+At in dynamics..LOL
Double digits would be a miracle. honestly.
Ahhh yes. i think...(think). tmr will be getting back chem test. and i screwed that too and im HOPING to pass. pass? _____ hope (insert daniel in there if you wish, it makes a good substitude for the missing word there! :) )
WOHOOO. Listening to "Last train" by Yui. Sounds very strange. And i mean strange. it's decent, but strange. I get goosebumps listening to it. Especialy the intro "poo poo"which is supposed to be like a train?
Oh yah. GP. Sad case. damn sian lor. I got 30/50. Not that im upset about my marks. im fine with it actually. but im actually quite....frustrated because I lost alot careless marks and stuff I read wrongly...I could have gotten like 4-5 marks more....
OOOO and essay test. haven get back. will be getting back on friday. DUH im seriously not expecting to..like pass it because...1) I wrote PD-PD interaction and ionic bonds in an essay about family and children 0.o (yes there was a chen test coming up)...2) I wrote it anyhow and with like no thinking at all.
Again, i nid to rely on more miracles...
School is actually quite okay. but i hate forces. I am no Jedi knight and certainly I have no affinity for forces. (lol no pun intended). since secondary sch...my moment and stuff like that are really VERY horrible...and even at olevels i still don't really know how to do moment questions. blahhhhhhahajhajdhuwhe23478338ur8eeidfhsjkhfukhffiuwhyrhiw3jrejn
the above word (yes it's a word). means...that frustration kills your keyboard.
but i give up too easily. i have not done a single force question and therefore like. im giving up already.

im just too lazy to.
but anyway, would pple stop picking on the mistakes i make on my posts? not many people posts as much as me, so while typin all that (even if the mistake was an accident or whether i don't know how to spell it). can you just frigging ignore those things and stop taggingwhenevr I make a mistake...
FYI. it's annoying..
though i love tags. but here are some rules
1) do not tag stuff that annoys me.
2) do not tag stuff that i don't like

School. long day today. longest one but got 2 hour break so it's quite okay.
tommorow physics tests. LOL. nvr study. dun intend to. but this time i dun think i will be so lucky like last time. i know nuts about dynamics.
though i know TM01 in pokemon gold is dynamic punch.
LOL...
Then 1st period is test liao. woohoo prepare to fail man. die die also cannot study. i vow not to study any test at least for this few months.

what a mess!
School was horrible today. Everything went...unfine.
For starters, PE was 2.4Km run. And I got like a really HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TIMING. i knew it. i had this bad feeling inside me and I felt realli weak. Must be the seven oatmeal prawns still swimming in my stomach from ytd's dinner. first, situps, barely scrapped A., and then standing broad jump i got 2 consecutive faults.
And then 2.4km. I went wrong strat and I couldnt adapt to my own pace. I started of my first round with 1:20min. (which is quite fast already). maintained for 2nd round. and then i went downhill from the 2nd round onwards. Seriously bad. the sky was fine, nothing pooped on me. but the pespiration felt cold and unusual. as in, you know it, when you're not running well. breathing seemed harder than usual. i was what you call "and off-form day". and i had to take this test.To add on, my laces came out after the 2nd round. I was running with untied laces. Tying them would be...well, wasting of time.
HORRIBLE timing:10:21...
I was just thinking of not being greedy and getting 10 flat. that would be enough for me. but 10:21 is unacceptable. this must be retribution for skipping too many PE lessons (like 3 or 4 in the past few weeks I guess..).
Worst run ever. I shouldn't have ran but nevermind. tests can be redone till you're satisfied till august.
I felt so fish-ed up after the run. Felt very down.
And to make matters worst. we were chase out by mr lim chee 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 out of the class. ( just ignore tt, it's a play on his name..-.-) because we were about 480 seconds late. and then daniel had to say "we were revising"
What cock excuse. it sounds DUH downright plain oldfashioned. Please think of better excuses. the usual "stomachache" or " i got lost " works fine. it's overused, but you can't deny such unavoidable excuses.
too bad i was stading behind daniel or jlam and i didn't have a chance to make a valid excuse. being late is not wrong! but giving bad excuses is certainly wrong.
PLS USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!Wait, you don't have one. nevermind.
Next wong ABC lesson. Wohoo can sleep right. yes.! good. nothing bad happen. I went to the "toilet" to buy pizza bread and white grape tea. then i ate on theway back. and then took up half the lesson. WOhoo. Wong ABC lesson rocks the most man!
then chem test. i screwed the first question drawing the angle of deflection of electrons and protons wrongly. damn. i neglected the easy "supposed to be frag" few pages of the notes during last minute revision.
and while tying to recall physics stuff (yes it's in olevel physics syllabus....)....i hurt my brain in the process and even with that sacrifice, two things happened. 1 ) i remembered wrong things... 2) i got demoralized for the whole paper.
not to mention doing tests in LT is totally a total neck buster.
And one more blunder of the day. is that I left halim's geog file in the LT or on some random table outside the staffroom.now im like so dead.
Why do i have the file? because.
I borrowed it. (DUH). that reminds me. geog tutorial today. kenna called up to pass up FIVE MINDMAPS by wednesday. i tried bargaining. but to no avail. heck. no bargain nevermind. i can always COPY.
Copying is not copyright infringment when the owner allows you to. he even gave me his file to copy. You can't say I copy, i merely refered to. Copying is only copying when you do not have permission to do so.
and somehow Copying seems to have a really negative shadow casted over it. why? do you mean photocopiers are bad...
And ms wong out gp teachr actually said copying things from pointless powerpoint slides (no pun intended)....actually help you remember then. so next time i actually have a great and valid reason for copying homework. great.
being very sarcastic this post. im kinda sick and tired of school. as in...school ending at 7pm is just..so..not cool. and i get to walk home in the dark. (and meet some hoot-hoots on the way).
just FOUR more ays. FOUR FOUR FOUR days. countdown to holidays...
this holiday. let us all be merry. let us party. let us play to our hearts content

yawnz
tommorow chem test.
haven studied anything at all...
wow...i must be brave. but nevermind. i am prepared not to do well.
slept the whole day and went out to celebrate mother's day at night. then just came bac.
WOHOO one more week b4 holidays. WOOHOO...
but anyway. i wonder how people find their ways to my blog? google? i don't know.
but just to clarify on my previous post, not that i do not respect blue collared workers. there are minority of them who do not have good attitude in doing their jobs. for eg, waiters giving their customers attitude etc...im sure everyone have faced these people before. i know it' snot fair to sterotype, but what i generally like to say about this people is that "they are doin this job for a reason"...and im not refering to all of them. only the minority, the black sheep.

ultimate recoil damage
I could not resist not blogging about this. Yes you all know it. it's about the hwa chong student who punched the bus driver.
A 17-year-old student of one of Singapore's top JC allegedly punched a bus driver in the face during a quarrel on Wednesday.
The 53-Year-Old SBS Transit driver tried to stop the HCI student from leaving.
The teen's girlfriend, who is from another school, had been found to be using an invalid concession card.
The bus driver, who suffered minor bruises on his face, was given two days medical leave. He had lodged a police report against the student, and the police said they are still investigating.
SBS Transit said it is taking the matter seriously as the driver was assaulted in the course of his duty.
Ms Tammy Tan, SBS Transit's director of corporate communications, said the bus captain had acted accordingly to company procedures when he retained the concession card.
Bus captains, she said, are authorized to retain any concession card for investigation.
''Our bus captains have the right to work without fear of being attacked.We will seek redress for them through all available channels,'' She said.
The driver, Mr Wong Kok Leong, told TNP on Sunday that he never expected to be assaulted on the job in his 25 years of working.
Worse, he said, was being hit by someone younger than his own children, who are aged 18, 20 and 25.
Mr Wong said that on Wednesday afternoon, the student and his friend boarded his SBS bus No 170, opposite HCI, on Dunearn Rd.
The boy was in his school uniform but the girl was not.
The boy's friend tapped he wallet on the card reader,but it could not deduct the fare from the EZ-LINK card.
Instead, the card reader beeped continously.
The alarm was activated because the student's concession card had either been reported lost or stolen.
So Mr Wong said he had to follow the standard procedure of retaining the card.
When he told her she had to surrender the card, she initially refused.
She handed over only after he insisted and explained that the card had a problem and had to be retained.
Said Mr Wong in Mandarin: ''All this while, the male student kept arguing that the ez-link card belonged to the girl. I kept repeating my explanation, but he refused to listen.''
Just as Mr Wong was about to issue her a retention slip telling ehr to contact TransitLink, he said the male student snatched the ez-link card from his hand.
Bot students then went and sat down.
Mr Wong quickly pressed the emergency help button to alert the operations control centre that he was having trouble.
The control centre's operator advised him to drive ahead slowly while waiting for the traffic inspector to catch up with the bus and assist him.
Six bus-stops later, a passenger wanted to alight
Said Mr Wong in Mandarin: ''I asked the passenger to alight from the front door as I was afraid the students would try to leave.''
True enough, he said the students tried to make a dash for it.
He then stopped the bus and stood at the front exit blocking them.
He said: ''I held out both my arms and held the poles on either side of the bus to prevent them from leaving.
''The female student tried to leave,but I refused to budge. Next thing I knew, the male student punched me on the left side of my face.''
He said he stumbled forward and fell on the floor, hitting the driver's seat.
He claimed that the male student allegedly continued to hit him. Inthe process, Mr Wong's shirt pocket was torn. ''I was too shocked to react. I couldn't believe a kid was beating me,'' Said Mr Wong.
It stopped only after a male passenger came forward to restrain the student, who struggled and shouted until the passenger let go.
''The passenger has to hold him back by both his arms, or he would have continued to beat me. Some of the female passengers started to scold him,''
Mr Wong recounted.

ROFL. I heard this in the car narrated by my mom. And for the sake of arguing against the norm, I fought for the boy. Actually.
Seriously. If you punch the wall, you recieve recoil damage. Yes, newton's third law. But what's greater than newton's third law is the Singapore Law. It states that if you exert a force on another human being...
Well...
Let's say you're like so pwned.
Just like even a baby knows not to put his little thumb into the fire, and not to bang his fist on the wall, we all know it's common sense not to do things that will hurt ourselves. but this time, the driver didn't have words written on him stating " if you punch me, you're gonna get yourself into deep shit ".
the boy overlooked that.
and woah, what now for him? his probably so owned. father begging for mercy, his girlfriend will PROBABLY leave him (im not sure about that, some people are just strange). his future will be at stake. He will have to fight in court, he will have to waste loads of money hiring a lawyer. And all his efforts to get his own smarty arse into Hwa chong all goes down the drain. Never to be able to be retrieved again.
One mistake..
Bus riders are YEAH annoying. I don't really like taking buses. and i have my own bad experiences. once, an uncle asked me to pay 1+ plus for a ride from bukit timah to choa chu kang. when i showed him my EZLINK card which is a student card (i didn't have value in it then). he insisted I must pay $1+. Okay, i just heck and got all the change I have and dumped it in.I have other bad experiences too, but I shall not rant about it for too long.
Bus drivers ARE bus drivers for a reason. Do you think they CHOOSE to be bus drivers?
And yes. this is always what i tell people. Some people get pissed with waiters for showing them attitude. Some people get mad with cleaners being ill-temped. And what I always say.
These people are waiters FOR A REASON.
It's because they phail at life that's why they are doin such jobs. I know i know, it's a "noble" thing to be able to do jobs people do not want to do. but going by the law of "survival of the fittest"........oh ok, u get the point.
If it's noble to do jobs pple don't want to do. then blangadash workers are noblemen. WOOHOO...it certainly doesn't make any sense.
Seriously. Why bother fighthing with a poorly educated old men who is just working for that few hundred bucks. Striving so hard to earn his rice bowl. WHy make things so difficult for them. If they wanna be angry, let them be? if they wanna be troublemakers in the name of "doin their job". then let them be.
We should not feel angst about their unbecoming behaviour. But rather, show pity and sympathy. Instead of arguing with them, just be happy you're not them.
Understand my theories and arguments and you'll never going to punch a bus driver in your life.
Back to the point. I was NOT at the scene and I only know of this through the newpaper, which may not be a reliable source. Im going by my imagination. And I can somehow feel how PEK CHEK the hwa chong boy can be.
Imagine if you can. If the uncle just took your ezlink without any reason and when you snatch the ezlink card back. he prevents you from leaving the bus and wants to detain you and your card. is that right? What if you have plans for that day?
Why did he even have to stop those 2 from leaving the bus?
I don't get it.
He could have choosen not to do anything. Afterall, i believe most bus drivers don't care even if you tap a "invalid card" either invalid or without value. They WON"T confiscate your card.
and yeah. im feeling so freaking mad because my concession card is not updated. and now i have an invalid card with me. so next time i have to punch a bus driver to successfully get a ride?
Okay, forgive me for any offences Ive made. And also, i believe what ive written is very very messy and not in any good order. so just take it as random thoughts...

Some scrambled thoughts
~~~~~~~Saturday!!!. Wo0Tz!. I slept in this morning. Never felt so good. Waking up when you totally do not feel like sleeping anymore. That's true bliss. I feel totally energized and rejuvenated.
Finally, Competition has ended. and seriously, I kinda feel happy. Honestly, I prefer to stay in school to listen to boring subjects rather than going ALL the way to Tampines to get our arse raped by the likes of schools (like RJC and HCI). The air in Tampines Sports Hall is unbearable. Stuffy, dusty and even got construction going on. (what can beat the uneasiness of being in such an environment). Pespiring is even possible by just sitting there and stoning. I kinda prefer the fans in my classroom.
Anyway nxt wk is the last week of school. Due to Pre-U seminar, our school closes early for holidays. Nothing to yay about because school is reopening one week earlier. I don't think there will be training next week. So all I can say it's time to spent time on other stuff. Like? I ain't got no idea. All i know is, last week felt damn slack.
There's a test on chemical bonding and atomic structure at 6-7pm on monday. WTh seriously with that time slot. Heck, i don't even intend to study (after some consideration). i have my weekends packed up anything. trainings, dinners, and even my personal time to play and also to practice piano.
But one improvement this time is actually I considered whether to study or not. (big improvement mANZ!)
Midyear exams starts immediately after holidays. And on the supposingly 3rd week of holiday (which is shifted down to become 4th week for me...), I am going for my church camp in Msia. Woah. so now where do I find time for last minute studying?
The morning before. I guess. Thats the only time I have.
I don't like the idea of putting exams after a long holiday. That is because everyone WILL study and people like me WILL NOT study a single crap. And this lengthens the level gap. Oh crap. Seriously, holidays are for playing. Not mugging.
and I wan a nintendo Wii. Now I have several options here on how to get it.
1) Save up my own bloody $$$ and try to purchase one within months..
2) Try to psycho my brother/s to save up money and help the fund...
3) Beg my parents for it. ( kinda useless option?)[ and i got TOO much pride for that]
4) Try to get good MYE results and sorta demand it.
I don't know. Option 1 is feasible. But....still. I gotta sacrifice in many aspects. For example, is not anyhow tossing my money everywhere. I digged my schoolbag yesterday to find like 10 bucks in coins. (say WOAH). my pencilbox has like 2 bucks in ten cents and 20 cents. And every compartment of all my slingbags (which amounts to like 3-4 of them) have money in them. notes, coins. or whatever. I know there's lurking in there.
I leave my money all around my house. And when I do that, I lose the possession over them. Finder's keepers. I probably have my money converted to other's money by leaving them in places like...the living room. any random ledge in my house. and they just disappears. I lost all my extra change just like that. but fortunately, it's to another family member. so i don't really care. thats why i am so poor, in savings.
Seriously, u can hunt my house like Mario World's and you'll be a Mario on a mission to collect all the coins.
And did i mention I left my mp3 player UNDER MY BED without myself knowing. Man.
Option #2 is probably more feasible. Because me and my brother combined have more powers than me alone (well obviously DUH). If he saves 2 bucks everyday and I being a more commited person (and more desperate for Wii) saves 3 bucks. We will have 50 bucks per week. and Approx 600 (plus games etc..). it's going to take 12 weeks. that's 3 frigging months.
I can't wait...
Plus. I don't think we will get income during June holidays.
Option 3 is useless.
Option 4. Well. seems very fine. But even if I get good MYE results on my own, I will have to rely on my brother's one as well. So maybe even if I actually study and pwn the midyear exam. and my brother get kanasai result. No Wii for me. and that's just sad.
But maybe I should just try. Though my brother is not as bright as me, but at least he puts in the effort.
Hais I'll see how it goes. If i actually get a Wii. my house is gonna be once again, another party station for the upcoming holidays. ( err just don't expect it by june.)

the imbal freaks.
I didn't blog yesterday. Felt wrecked after playing against RJC. They pwned every of their single games 5-0. And they won both PJC and TPJC with a beautiful array of 15-0 records. we lost entire 5 games within 1 hour.
And yes, they are that imbal.
Put like 10 national youth players into RJC and what you get? RJC team? no. it's called, national team.
And what has recrea/sub-competitive player got to do with them? yep. feed them.
I was contemplating not going. but i really wanted to see for myself how imbal is their imbal. No shock, no trauma here. just pure englightenment. My coach says, " these people from young already are the talented ones. they were talented from young, they trained hard, and so now they're very good" or something along those lines. Yes the keyword here is "from young"...
Tommorow against HC. we're not going to have any chance of a victory...but. im SERIOUSLY contemplating not going. this week, have been an "off-week" for me. very depressing to go there to see all the RJC people, the AJC people, all super super imbal people.

picking ourselves up
Life is full of blunders, full of mistakes and from that we should learn to pick ourselves up.
Incase you don't know what im talking about..I played 1st singles on ytd's game and I lost. Not horribly, but it was really a regretful game.
I didn't play on friday's game. And i nvr had a game where I had other pple's fates in my hands. (well in this case my team). monday was a very important game against TPJC and we should be winning them and pwning them. (we aimed for 4-1 victory). but we packed bags with a 0-5 thrashing.. Everyone was not themselves. including myself. according to coach, my opponent was nothing. but i died not to him, not to his strokes, not to his experience, but...to the atmosphere, the pressure.....
I thought my opponent was good enough to add additional pressure to my already "down and pale" mental state and he probably just wrecked havoc within me being a more experienced competition player.
Im beginning to hate singles.The feeling of being alone is really really yuckie and now it's creeping me.
Maybe im switching to doubles.
True, I was baffled. I was stunned. I was shocked. I was a zombified for yesterday. at night, i keep having "flashbacks" that weren't nice. but now i can say Ive gotten over it.
I lack experience.
Coach says he will work with me to overcome my "court fright" (yes it's something like stage fright)....
but at the same time. Me, Kuo Un and weizhong have decided to pia our best for next year's competition and work our very best to get our revenge next year. We WILL bring PJC to greater heights...this is the least I can do for disappointing our seniors this year.
Perhaps I was too worried about "intraschool politics" and stuff about being in the team or not, i didn't reflect on my own skills. even if I didn't lose on skill, the pressure numbed my senses and all my thoughts.
When im scared, I already lost half the battle. For no bloody reason.
I don't remember the score. the first game pretty quick and the 2nd game was a stalemate-ish one.
IF i just had the time to adjust....my mental. my strength.and control my emotions. I could have won. IF. i just had that 5 minutes, no....few more rallies and exchanges of time to settle down. I needed that time. I knew it. I was agitated. And in the more stupid mistakes (like lobbing 2cm wide or long)...the more frustrated I got and I threw my form away. literally.
Now I know.
Badminton is a mental sport. Especially singles. It's tough. both on the mind, and the body.
I don't want to talk about the rest of our team. It's saddening. The "debrief" was mainly a "regret session". Everyone coudln't perform up to our normal standards. We lost a easy kill. We tapped our point into the net. We let everyone down..TPJC wasn't very good. But they were good enough to be lucky enough for all of us to be so pressurized and down on morale that they can beat us flat.
Stress kills. The importance of this game probably sank deep into our hearts when the coach emphasized that and it grew thorns that created fear within ourselves...
We could take them.
But we let the chance slip by. But anyways. it's over and it's over.
Tmr against RJC. then friday against hwa chong. this is what you call " go to lose ".
We have next year though. Next year. things will be different
I put my pride on that....

Gasp
This morning, I could hear some noises from the toilet and that woke me up from sleep. I was like " oh someone bathing huh ", as I could hear water gushing and splashing all over. Yes that was what I thought. And then, I went back to sleep. The next 20 minutes, I regained some consciousness from sleep. And guess what, the irritating noise was still there. I was like " woah this person bathe so long de hor ... "
Okay. Then I just rmbed I was probably the only one at home and it was 11:30AM and no one bathes at such a weird timing. I got up (anyway I felt like pee-ing too..so....). I opened the door.
And *GASP*
The toilet bowl was shooting water all over.
A flood! A flood! i was like *OWNED*. i didn't know what to do. the lid above the toilet bowl was opened and it was firing water out of it. yes, it was behaving like a Totodile using water gun or something.
Crap. i immediately called for help. My grandma's stoning around downstairs so I figured out I should let he know even though I dun think she could help much. (but at least still better than the stunned and puzzled me).
So she came up. I was being evil and fled from the scene and went upstairs to pee (inevitable decision...)
whoohoo. then when I came down. my grandma said the flood is over. I was WTF OMGOSH "What did you do!!?!??!".
I forgot the details but apparently my grandma stopped the flooding....somehow. using unknown means....the water stopped gushing out once she stepped her feet into the toilet. Very amazing.
I went back to the master bedroom's toilet (that is the one that is flooding btw) to retrieve my toothbrush and aww man the entire toilet stinks. I bet the water gushing out was....err shit water. Holy shit....
Okay. So it's been like 2 hours plus plus plus and my 3rd bro has been playing the piano since them. Very amazing. "amazing". yes because his been playing CANON IN D since then. WTF OMG im like *pwned* sitting here on the 3rd level in my room and for goodness sake I can still hear echoes of canon in D from outside my room down 2 levels and from the piano room. Seriously OMFGwTFbBQ...
And the most amazing part is that Canon in D has amazing powers to induce headaches when you hear it over and over again for too many times. Don't ever play that song infront of me or I'd swear I'll puke. (yes due to the intense headache im having now).
And now, he switched to Ballade pour adeline. Another song which Ive heard too many too many times already.
Oh yes speaking of piano. I haven't practise the "doll's dream" given by my teacher last week and Im sooo screwed. It's not hard, it's probably around grade 4 standard (according to my teacher). and it's a....CRADLE song. and now i gotta admit sometimes I feel like sleeping when im playing that song.
No, that that i didn't practise at all. but i was playing "Zelda windwaker's theme:farewell Hyrule" this morning for like 1 hour?...and some random mario overworld theme and water theme over and over again.. Seriously, I lost the orgasmic feeling playing mario. and now i feel soooo aroused playing zelda...
Sounds wrong.
Yes. next thing I actually played my Diamond again. And now Ive finally imported a Raichu,Charizard,Mewtwo,Ditto,Moltres and Vaporean from my FireRed version. And ive breeded one charmander, one turtwig, and many many many eevees. Im trading them away for like....Pearl Exclusives or other nice things (just offer).
Though i know saying that equates to nothing because how many pple actually have NDS, not to mention...Diamond/Pearl..
Im feeling sickish again. And there's comp tommorow. Lineup's not up but im 80% certain im not playing tmr.(which is a good thing) Likely I'll play against RJ and HC I dunno why I just got this irking feeling and Alan's sources are quite accurate I guess...
And then. I donno whether to siam the attire check tmr or to go guai guai go cut my hair. I think i will cut my back until super short (cut like 2cm off it). yeah that shld be fine.
Okay. Then I just rmbed I was probably the only one at home and it was 11:30AM and no one bathes at such a weird timing. I got up (anyway I felt like pee-ing too..so....). I opened the door.
And *GASP*
The toilet bowl was shooting water all over.
A flood! A flood! i was like *OWNED*. i didn't know what to do. the lid above the toilet bowl was opened and it was firing water out of it. yes, it was behaving like a Totodile using water gun or something.
Crap. i immediately called for help. My grandma's stoning around downstairs so I figured out I should let he know even though I dun think she could help much. (but at least still better than the stunned and puzzled me).
So she came up. I was being evil and fled from the scene and went upstairs to pee (inevitable decision...)
whoohoo. then when I came down. my grandma said the flood is over. I was WTF OMGOSH "What did you do!!?!??!".
I forgot the details but apparently my grandma stopped the flooding....somehow. using unknown means....the water stopped gushing out once she stepped her feet into the toilet. Very amazing.
I went back to the master bedroom's toilet (that is the one that is flooding btw) to retrieve my toothbrush and aww man the entire toilet stinks. I bet the water gushing out was....err shit water. Holy shit....
Okay. So it's been like 2 hours plus plus plus and my 3rd bro has been playing the piano since them. Very amazing. "amazing". yes because his been playing CANON IN D since then. WTF OMG im like *pwned* sitting here on the 3rd level in my room and for goodness sake I can still hear echoes of canon in D from outside my room down 2 levels and from the piano room. Seriously OMFGwTFbBQ...
And the most amazing part is that Canon in D has amazing powers to induce headaches when you hear it over and over again for too many times. Don't ever play that song infront of me or I'd swear I'll puke. (yes due to the intense headache im having now).
And now, he switched to Ballade pour adeline. Another song which Ive heard too many too many times already.
Oh yes speaking of piano. I haven't practise the "doll's dream" given by my teacher last week and Im sooo screwed. It's not hard, it's probably around grade 4 standard (according to my teacher). and it's a....CRADLE song. and now i gotta admit sometimes I feel like sleeping when im playing that song.
No, that that i didn't practise at all. but i was playing "Zelda windwaker's theme:farewell Hyrule" this morning for like 1 hour?...and some random mario overworld theme and water theme over and over again.. Seriously, I lost the orgasmic feeling playing mario. and now i feel soooo aroused playing zelda...

Pwned
Just watched Aviva Open on Chn 5. No, not at the indoor stadium but at home. I should have went but I didn't go. Kinda lazy and the trip isn't really worth it. (with training this afternoon plus like tommorow I got piano lesson). And I kinda like forget to buy the ticket. So kinda gonna give it a skip this year. Hopefully I will go next year. ANd im kinda broke so I don't want to go there and drool over all the new series shirts that they're gonna sell there.
*omgosh this post is gonna BORE* Read if only you THINK (keyword:think) you can understand what im saying here.
Yea. So first match I watched was Peter Gade against Chen Yu. Peter gade, (most likely the favourite in this remanding top 4 and last yr's winner of SG open as well.). Peter gade lost the first set but made a very amazing and thrilling comback of 25-23 in the 2nd set despite very unfavourable linecalls being made against him. Overall, he still lost to the China Chen yu. Nothing much to comment actually because both played very orthodox styles and Peter gade was the faster player. But chen yu was winning in terms of luck and consistency. (which sums up to form accuracy)
Then followed by women singles. Which was Zhang Ning (the chinese imbal "giraffe"). kinda a ubber, against Eriko Hirose.(jap). Aww man yesterday I was like checking the net for the SG open matchups and when I saw Eriko Hirose my heart was like melting. I was like OMGOSH, finally! the first time I saw her play was a match against Wong Mew Choo of Malaysia on the internet. Sadly, she isn't like a consistent nor high level player so don't really get much videos of her matches on the intenret and on the tv. and i really got sick of ALL CHINA HOGGING AFFAIRS in the semi-final/final. Eriko Hirose is just soooooo cute.
Yea I mean it. China players. Zhang ning looks like a witch, and xie xing fang looks overly LONG to me. (yea she's taller than Lin dan for heaven's sake..). and she isn't very pretty. though many will argue with me. Seriously there's nothing nice to watch in Women singles. the strokes are all ALOT slower compared to men's singles to the extent that the game itself is already DIFFERENT almost completely. so, being guys, most of the time, women singles is just to look at the girls only. I am being very honest. And Im sick of switching on the TV to find myself watching a women single's all china affair of zhang ning against xie xing fang which is soooo clique and.....
boring.
Yes. the correct word is boring. When it's a all "____" (random country) affair. it's boring because you know that no matter who wins, it's still that country's victory. nothing to hoohaa about. BUt back to the point. Eriko hirose....for some unknown reason, I just kinda like her. but it's like a small infatuation. Just too cute alrdy..
Last but not least. *actually the main point here*. is Ronald Susilo. total let down, big disappointment. He literally got PWNED by thailand's poonsak.
Susilo ah...susilo ah, last year lost at quarter this year at semi next year i go watch u in final okie?
the SINGAPOREAN crowd was the total letdown. I bet many nonbadminton players or watchers actually went down to support Ronald Susilo, and as the camera zoomed to see the audience's expressions, most SG showed the nonchalent and non-enthu look when susilo was losing by like 5 poiints.
Susilo was very very nervous. Everyone knows that. And to that extent that I think crowd support isn't helping him at all. Even though I strongly feel that the crowd support level when down by LOADS when Susilo was losing by a considerable margin. SG audience don't make good support. Where did all the Cheering training in Sec sch and JC go to.
Oh wait, those oldies, uncles and aunties and laymans were not trained in such things. People could sit there giving the "i cant be bothered look". Even at home, i was creating my very own aviva open atmopshere in my living room.
Badminton is a very complex sport. Once you don't play well, you can't play well. There's such thing as on form and off form. Susilo was probably off form. and his opponent just BEAT lindan (the world #1) in his last match. His probably burning in the fire of confidence or something.
True,Susilo made gross errors.(like framing the shuttle) YES. (i blame the court conditions for that). [earlier Chen yu totally swung his racket and MISS a net kill so even China national players make such blunders]. Susilo made 2-3 of such mistakes. and then he glared at the lights. (yes natural to do so, it's like 'hey look it's not my fault, it's the light that blinded me"). true. it's very true. such things do happen. don't stop cheering just because our national hero made such a blunder.
It wasn't only the fact that susilo didn't play well.
Poonsak was good. Too good maybe? Susilo's tactic was rather clear. He is mainly playing a lobbing game. and then suddenly attack. I don't really see susilo using much drops (though). unlike peter gade, taufik etc...
Susilo's smash isn't as sharp as Poonsak's one.
And poonsak's game was simply...overwhelming. His attack clears forced susilo into helpless situations whereby he had to give 3/4 lobs. (which was nailed down by smashes).
Overwhelming. Probably wrong matchups. Susilo was probably playing great the past few days ( i think..). but the first time it was shown on national tv, he screwed up.
No one's gonna think great about Singapore's badminton anymore (though I feel that badminton certainly has loads of hope more than other sports...). [think soccer, basketball etc..the list goes on for miles and miles]. at least we here have a semi-finalist and a Super Series 5 star competition right here on this tiny island. isn't that something to be proud of?

Some random crap
Yesterday PJC won YJC in badminton 3-2. Coach wasn't happy. A supposed 5-0 win turned out to be a 3-2. And all the matches we won were in rubber set. Pretty shabby day. Honestly, I didn't like it. Tampines sports hall is wayy to stuffy. And to add on, I wasn't on the lineup for friday's match. Which was quite fortunate as I ddin't want to play in a shirt that is all the way to my knees. I hope i get to play on the "red shirt days"...which are monday and friday.
Saw RJC play. And they're imbal. I don't wanna play against them...sobs...
Stupid DSA, it's ruining fair competition in sports. Better schs collect all the better players through DSA scheme and pwns not so good schs like PJC who have no DSA for badminton at all. DUH....no one would ever wan to DSA into PJC. for anything...
And....
they gotta follow up on e attire check on thursday. i have to get it cut somehow. my hair is ridiculously short already and i dun wan to make it shorter anymore. guess to make them happy, i shld just cut the back to make it seem like ive cut my hair.
and maybe i shld actually fake a stomach pain during mrn assembly on monday. i can't not come sch, as i have comp on that day.
seriously.
im thinkin of quitting badminton. i don't know why..
but after this comp, no more coach, no more seniors! wee. but im not 100% of that...
