Pushing the limits!

WOW! I didnt know that i could actually run 2.4km in 14 minutes lol. 1st time i broke the 14 min barrier! Sec 3 my 2.4km timing was like 20 minutes? Guess for the past 2 years, i havent been really pushing myself to presevere. NAPFA Test on Monday man. Gotta get Bronze, i'll really push myself to the brim. 13min 40secs is my aim.

Quite tired physically, so cant recall things well as of now, so will type whatever comes into my mind!

LIVERPOOL'S COMING TO PLAY AGAINST THE SINGAPORE NATIONAL TEAM ON 26TH JULY 7PM AT THE NATIONAL STADIUM!!! My dream is half-true! After their visit, planning to go to Anfield/Stanley Park after my A-Levels! They're arriving on the 24th July, a Friday, so imma skip school to welcome them! Please sign my posters, bag, jerseys, balls and MOST IMPORTANTLY TAKE A PICTURE WITH ME! THE ONLY FOOTBALL CLUB I'LL STAND BY NOW AND FOREVER! Of course there're others things i'll stand by now and forever, but i'd prefer to keep them to myself. Ticket Prices, they name it, below a 100 bucks and i'll fly there and show my other self, which can only be seen during Liverpool LIVE Matches.

Holy poo! Two 4-4 matches in a space of the week, and anymore of it and i will suffer from hypertension! Such high octane, peformance without Steven Gerrard. Scoring 4 against Chelsea and Arsenal were great achievements, but conceding 4 was unlike us. Though the odds are against us for the remainder of the season, the season will end a day after my Mid-Year Exams. Liverpool win all 5 of their remaining games, i must score at least 5 E(s) for my MYE. Perfect motivation (They come from Liverpool and a lot of other sources :p).

Wilson K-Factor!! Bought a new racket lol. $195 flew away. K-Zen Team FX. Orange in colour huh! Like the colour and design, pretty awesome, even more as its a product of Wilson. Going to Queensway & Peninsula soon to get some Tennis Schoolbags and shoes! Been saving quite long for this though, so dont call me a miser, i've spent a month looking for a match made in Wilson!

Been reflecting abit recently. Seems like im moody every single morning. So bad that i turn emo till school starts lol -.- PW Groupings for my class are out on Monday, though other classes already have theirs. Of course, i hope i get my ideal group! But surely, do the math and that ideal group only have around 10% chance of materialising. No matter who im grouped with, all bets are off and no doubt i'll be striving even harder for A.

Bought F1 tickets toO! Qualifying sessions walkabout tickets! $58 for memories of a decade! Actual race i'd rather watch at home. *Recalls last year's experience watching from Raffles City*

Thats all for my 2nd post of April, and happy schooling days again for my Poly-friends! Enjoy paying 24 cents more for 3 years people! Except for a certain one, who went to SRJC with me and went to Poly! Clever boy!

Erratic!

WOW! Was watching the Malaysian F1 GP on TV when the race was suspended for mad weather! At least 3 drivers spun onto gravel man! The race will i think resume in 10 minutes so i've 10 mins to catch up with life!

No dream, no future! Sorta distorted from DMC's No music no dream! It sounds audicious, but my dream is to be a football manager. Sounds nonsensical right? I totally agree with you. I wouldnt mind being a football predictor or a columnist man. The passion of football has been boiling in me since sec 1! I was thinking... "Hey, i could be like Jose Mourinho!" I read that Mourinho got into football only after he graduated from the University of Lisbon with a degree in sports management. For me, it could ruin my future totally lol. Singapore football is hardly the right place for aspiring managers to start. Perhaps i should go into Mass Comm! So far sent 8 entries for The New Paper letter of the week/weekend and got 5 entries published! 1 being the Letter of the Week on 20th March! A $200 Mizuno running shoes is my prize, and i'll give it to my dad ;) Look out for me! On Tuesdays and Fridays!

What nonsense! The race will not be restarted and Jenson Button has won again! Wee! Brawn GP! Jeers for Renault, sympathy for Alonso. He shouldnt have stayed.

Liverpool FC. After my last post, we've won 3 games in a row man! Man Utd, Aston Villa and Fulham. The former 2 are sheer delight and joy, with Man Utd also being pure estacy! For the Fulham match yesterday, i was down in the dumps till the 92nd minute when Yossi Benayoun scored the winner! The change in mood was so much that i went crazy and shouted... @ 2.30am =p Though we are 4 points behind, we shouldnt waste our effect now, 7 games to go, the last stretch, as a Football Club and with its fans, we shall all stand together. My heart and soul is with you, always!

Recently took up Chemistry tuition again with the same teacher who tutored me for the O levels! Started struggling at Redox during the later part, and the explaination part of Atomic Structure. I'm so gonna aim for an A for Chemistry.
Hey! APGP isnt that bad after all! I knew how to do all questions in the Lecture Test! Just the morale booster i needed! Mathematical Induction is part 2 of Summation -.- Hate those!

Caught some movies with my family and friends recently! Detroit Metal City, Gran Torino and Paul Blart! Those 3 movies had some humour in them, which i very much needed! Thumbs up for Clint Eastwood's acting! My kiddy face brought some suspicions that im not 16 at all. I would be happy if i look younger than i actually am till my 60s! (Assuming i'm still kicking) Probably watching Fanboys/Fast and Furious 4 on Good Friday, either.

Well, SRJC lost to RJC by the solitary 1 goal in the dying minutes. With the partizan support we gave, the team tried their best too! Probably not meant to be that we can qualify from the Group stages unless we win our matches against ACS(International), VJC and YJC. I'll be watching all home games though! I cant really show my passion in matches cause... SRJC arent LFC and LFC arent SRJC :(

Guess this is it, applied for Global Classroom Experience trips to Japan, Hong Kong & Yangshuo(China). Be glad just to go onto the GCE. Thats why i came to SRJC! :p My parents and sister are planning to abandon me for a week when they go to Beijing. Damn. The promised trip to the UK after my A levels better be true.

Approx 6 weeks left to mid-year examinations! For starters, i'm aiming for 15 points! Heard that loads of students got O.

EXHAUSTION!

Yeah! 1 post in a long long time! Finally, its the March "Holidays"! After that, it will be the dreaded PW!

Sporting life 1st!

Tennis : Trained like mad on Friday the 13th man! Also training every sunday night! Meeting Angus & maybe Shen Yee to play next Thurs! SRJC Tennis' physical training is really too physical and its like mental torture, really! Well well well, hope im good enough to be in the fringe JC1 team at least, for this year's competition! I dont wanna wait till the J2s step down! I love my Wilson racket a lot! We've bonded really well and have formed a good rapport with each other! :D My 1st racket! Taking lotsa care of it too! Watch out, my JC1s School teammates, im coming for your spot!!

Basketball : I noticed that i'm getting abit too soloish recently... Trying hard not to! Becoming better as an individual doesnt mean you'll become better as a player. Played relatively well today though, been doing much better with dribbling and lay-ups, but my shooting seems to have deproved D: Also, flew in mid-air and landed on both my knees, esp the left! Still feeling the effects of the landing... OUCH.
*Cleveland Cavaliers are topping the Eastern Conference and are the joint best team in the NBA with LA Lakers!

Football : Nothing much as in playing the sport. LOTSA THINGS WITH LIVERPOOL!
EUROPE'S BEST TEAM, England's Top 3. How could there be so much difference? Anyway, the points dropped against Boro & Man City left me quite devastated though. However, those could all change if we could just win Man Utd tonight! Going to Clarke Quay to watch man! Just wanna shut the mouths of those arrogant Man Utd fans in the forums once and for all. 4-0 Real Madrid! 5-0 on aggregate! When i woke up to watch in the 60th minute, i thought i was dreaming! 3-0 already! Man, what a performance! If only they could do this week in week out! They'd better confirm their trip to Singapore! I'm waiting!

You'll Never Walk Alone!

Physical Fitness : Improved tremendously! Lost around 8-10 kilos compared to the time before O levels! Lose more please! Muscle-wise, also quite a lot, calves, thighs, biceps & triceps too! Stamina-wise, WAY WAY better than sec 4 timing, can run 2.4km continuously.

SRJC!!!

I love schooling @ SRJC so much that when i had 2 days MC for 11th & 12th of March i still went! Through the pain barrier man! Totally no regrets! Got all my 1st choices there! (School, CCA & Subject combi!) Hopefully, i get the PW group of my choice! (Those hardworking ones) If i had to choose one regrets, it would be to take Physics. One friend of mine from SRJC who took the same combi as me, got As for H2 (Chem, Econs, Maths) & H1 PW, while B for GP & C for Physics! 86.25/90 points!!! So awesome! If i get >79/90 i would be elated. SR's History is one of the better humanities there.

1s19 rocks!! Dont really have gangsters or pai kia inside the class! Totally ideal for me! Jokes flying around every lesson, teachers being lame makes the class more lively! Trying to hang out with peers that are on/ahead of task! I like my locker too! At the top!

Totally living JC life! Way better than i expected man! I can't wait to get my white SRJC polo-tee!! Thats what i get for being the assistant ct rep, though i didnt really asked for the position!:D Camp ASPIRE lol -.-

Movies! Caught Push recently, quite a cool movie! Finally decided that Camilla Belle was my favourite Actress! Those eyes of hers are really quite mesmerising. Maybe catching some movies with 4e3ers during the holiday too.

Will be taking the March holidays to recuperate to be 90% fatigue-free! Off to study Chemistry man!

Movie maniac.

Hoho, im a crazy (title). Can even afford time to watch movies! Watched 3 before today... Inkheart, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button & Slumdog Millionaire. Slumdog Millionaire definitely & currently must be the best all rounded movie of 2009. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button was abit disappointing because of the ending, where he apparently shrunk back into a kid, whereas i thought that he would still be an adult, but one with an infant's face. Funniest movies to me are Love Matters & Alls Well Ends Well 2009. Cant wait for Marley & Me and Transformers 2! Gran Torino & Race to Witch Mountain looks awesome too! Gotta catch Valkyrie & Defiance if they still on the charts! New in Town & Pink Pather 2 too! Guess 1/2 movies every weekend will do... Finance wise, just use the HSBC Prepaid! $7.50 per tix!

Okay, my niece will be 3 months old tomorrow, and her hair is so cute! The sounds she make are amiable too! Maybe all babies look & sound like her, but shes just too cute to resist! Can use her as weights too! When she cries, its like a question! A. Wet Diapers B. Hungry C. Sick Also, shes also quite pampered already, when feeding, she needs to be walked around! Haha!

Back to schooling stuff. SRJC!! Orientation was awesome, I LOVE MY CG! They're all great! Cetus won for the 4th consecutive year for Orientation! The fun was to such an extent that i may wanna be an OGL next year! PW will be tough! SRJC has people coming from all corners of SG! Gatherings will be hard too! Anyway, the finale was crazy, but not as crazy as Prom Night! Im pretty sure SRJC's Prom Night will hit even dizzier heights. About CCAs, was considering going Canoeing, but after 1st day of lessons, realised that i dont have much time to commit into CCAs, since Canoeing is a niche CCA of SR, no why, even though i'll be freakin muscular & fit after the A levels. Guess i'll join Tennis/Shooting, though im in 2nd round of trials for shooting, while Tennis needa wait for the trials. Wanna use my own personalised racket! WILSON! Lectures & Tutorials officially started today, and to hit off the 1st class of my JC life was PW. Anyway, felt like sleeping during Chem H2 Lecture & Maths H2 Tutorial, but still managed to absorb. Econs was like a new subject. Really needa buck up! 35/90 points for Promo exams to go JC2! 75/90 for A lvls to uni! Aiming for straight B-Ds, but at least straight Bs & some As in A's.

If i dont get Silver/Gold for NAPFA, have to go NS for 24 flat months, while others only 22! My upper body's close to perfect, except the shoulders where i needa strengthen it more to do the number of chin-ups needed. I hope i join Tennis, so i can work on my interest & get fit at the same time... Shooting would just be something im good at. Anyway, heard that every PE lessons will be 5km runs.

Happy Birthday to my materal grandfather! 82 or 83 this year, born in the year of the Dragons. Hope he gets to watch his eldest grandson get married! (ME!) But he has to wait for at least* 3 more years! >.<" (Did i mention i didnt had a valentine date?)
*AT LEAST

Happy 17th Birthday to Kim Kim also, though the timing of the movie was horribly wrong, making me sleep @ 1am though i have to wake up @ 5.45am! Anyway, thanks for organising. 4e3ers look so much younger and some look older! (I still look like a Sec 3)

Back to Liverpool. Since i dont think i will post again till 1 or 2 weeks from now, the next month will determine our season. Matches against Real Madrid & Man Utd. Both look unbeatable, but we managed to edge out Chelsea and shatter their 86-game unbeaten home streak! Torres Torres! "We brought the lad from sunny Spain, he gets the ball and scores again!"

I love my new school!

Boy oh boy. Life has been moving faster than a roller-coaster! I'm 17 today, and 18 the next year! Where my birthday will fall on Chinese New Year (Practically cos i was born on CNY itself on 1992)!! Around the time where this post was posted, i gatecrashed my Parent's CNY! Heard my uncle had to send my parents to the hospital in his lorry! Born later at night, i was very sure i had lotsa visitors outside my cot & window on 5th Feb! Wonder how much my parents pocketed during that time! HAHA! I always believed that i was special! Till today, i still havent realised any notable talents i have! Its said that people born on 4th Feb were abit eccentric =/ Celebrating my birthday @ somewhere later, but i hope it doesnt spread too much! Hoping that i would get to eat my favourite dessert! The sizzling pan!

Okay, today was super super interesting. Playing proper icebreakers in my OG for the 1st time. Got to know some people better too. Also, learnt the College Dance, Anthem & Cheers! During the Dance, everyone had to dance with people of the opposite gender. Definitely, being quite shy, i felt very very awkward, and im sure almost everyone was! But once i got into the groove, it was pretty fun! I think the worst part about the dance is only the turning part, where my partner & I couldnt really perform the turn. Haha! Had the same feelings that i had after Prom Night! Meanwhile, the College Anthem & Cheers were quite simple, and theres no Prayers! Great! I've seen the best part of SRJC now, and will see the tough part starting from week 3. Well, i like the facilities there, the teachers too cause i heard they were very dedicated, the Principal cos he brought the school massive improvement, and also the attire! Haha, they have their own SRJC Polo Tees & Bermudas which could be worn on Mon, Wed & Fri, which are commonly known as the CCA days. The Bermudas are so ugly, like Khaki colour, but since SRJCians will be forced to buy it, may wear it. The PE Shirt is also quite nice! Jersey material, maroon in colour too. One thing i find no sense is that Uniforms have to be bought in SETS. Cant buy the Uniform & Pants SEPARATELY. Also noticed that Girls seemed to make friends so easily, while boys will always stick to their Sec Sch friends. Oh well, i'll be more open once my class are put together! Guys also have another chance to make friends later @ NS, Uni & Work! Lotsa time to find my Best Man haha!

Also went back today with Shen Yee, Mus & Milton... Thanks a lot to Ms Lee & Mr Tan for their advice on what kinda subjects we should take... Our interest is more important is the bottomline! Love the Hai Sing food though! Cheaper and as good as SRJC's food!

Taking H2 Chem, Econs & Maths, + H1 PW, GP, MT & Phy. Hopefully i get the combination i want. Chose Chem H2 cos i have more interest in Chem, although my performance for it is usually weaker than Physics. (Both B3 in O's) Well, when i received my results, The 1st 3 were excellent. B3 for Eng, A2 for Cb Hum & EMaths. The next 3 summed up my mood, all B3s. 2 A2s & 4 B3s. At least i fulfilled the promise that i would get at least 2 As for O's to my father. Chose SRJC as 1st choice and was very confident that i would get posted there. I want to make amends to decisions i have made before my O's. The Cut off for SRJC Science & Art dropped from 18 & 20 to 17 points respectively. Hoping that my batch can bring it to around 15! TPJC's going down! Just kidding! Didnt try TPJC @ all... I simply believed that it was the right choice to come here. No pain no gain right? Although may not be able to watch first halves of football matches involving Liverpool, which starts @ 4am and ends @ 5.55am, until daylight saving starts in UK. I dont want daylight saving to start! Planning to wake up 5.15am every weekday matchday to catch the last 30 minutes of matches! Gradually, i feel that waking up early may be a good thing... Gets me adapted to NS early huh.

This year's CNY have been the most successful for me! Records were broken! Thank you to those relatives who remembered my Chinese Birthday! Mom, Dad, my paternal & materal Grandmothers & youngest paternal uncle too! Soo... I always try not to compare my earnings with my sister.

Yeah, after my Grandfather was discharged, he went back in again! Blood clot in his knee, it seems, but now home again after eating some blood thinning medicine. Heard that severe bleeding will occur if blood somehow oozes out of him. Nevertheless, he always brings us laughter! He forgot that he was hospitalised, and went the doctor & nurses wanted to do an X-Ray on him, he threatened to beat them up! Also, fed fishes at the hospital's pond! Its our duty to standby him! Haha. Being one of the only two grandsons that he has, i have to learn some duty too!

Hmm, spent quite a lot of money on Liverpool too. Had Torres' name & no. + Gerrard's & no. stuck onto my Red & Green Liverpool jersies! With reasons too! Torres has a record for being the foreign player to score the most number of league goals in his 1st season, and Gerrard, being our top scorer in Europe! I paid for them myselves okay, cost me a bomb! Mom bought me the official 2009 calendar, + official postcards, keychains & a scarf! Think she's gonna buy me another Liverpool official football too! Subscribed to a football magazine which brought my CNY spendings to a measly $100, considering that others tend to spend more.

Liverpool slumped to 4 consecutive draws man... Seemed like January was a very bad month for Liverpool! When January immediated ended, Liverpool won 2-0 against Chelsea! When Torres scored a brace at the 89th minutes, i went nuts! (Considering that JC starts the morning itself) Gerrard also pleaded not guilty to assualt, and have his hearing postponed to AFTER the match proclaimed as the title-decider against Man Utd! I have enough faith in my team. I certainly hope we tighten up and consolidate! Also, i want those two American owners to justify Liverpool's big victory over Chelsea by giving Rafa a new contract. Will miss Robbie Keane though, heard that he always performed towards the end of the season! I would say that Rafa sold him @ the wrong time!

Once JC started, immediately have had no times for games already, only had time to surf the net for small periods and do this. Wont be able to blog for quite awhile after this! Maybe after Valentine's day haha, or once a fortnight. Would love to go for 9/15 Ball Pool Games & Movie Marathons with friends such as Nic, Shen Yee, Milton & Jonny if time allows!
