11:35 PM
I'm so disappointed.. And tired out. But feeling happy. Mmmmm..
Ok. Main thing that happened today was the relay heats. For the girls it was 4x100 m relay which didn't quite go according to plan, but still.. Great job girls~!! 4th place~!! Haha. =)
After a damn long wait, finally we, the guys, were to run our 4x400 m relay semi-finals.. Alone. Haha.
We seriously waited damn long already, and we were kinda tired from waiting and irritated from waiting so damn long. Well, I felt like vomiting before the run. Dickson too. Since Wei Jin had to leave, so the runners were Hin Fan, Dickson, Max and I. In a way I thank God for letting me run. =) Cause I enjoyed it.
Dickson was first runner. Followed by Max, Me and Hin Fan.
Dickson wasn't feeling well, and thus at the 300 m point he almost wanted to stop and vomit at the drains. Thank God we were cheering him on, as he told me that he didn't stop and vomit cause we were cheering and didn't wanna let us down. Haha. You go dude~! =) But as he wasn't feeling well, the baton transition from Dickson to Max was a lil screwed up and a few secs was lost there.
Next was Max. Well, he's a pro runner and I guess he kept up to his timing of 56 secs. =)
Then was me. My heart was beating damn fast, as I was damn nervous and so at the front part I sprinted off.. Which was good cause it got me off on a great start. Kept up the sprint till the 80 m mark where I slowed down to a fast jog till the 200 m starting point, at which I started to pick up speed. Then I burst off at the last 100 m. Not sprinting though. I couldn't get myself to run on the ball of my feet. Mmmmm.
Passed it to Hin Fan who clocked a timing of 1:04. I wish I had long legs like him. Haha.
Well.. We ended up with a timing of 4:18. Which I'm so disappointed with. I don't think we can get into the finals with 4:18.. But this was MY best run.. I believe I went below 1:10. I've done my calculations and I believe this to be true. I know I have no regrets.. But still.. I want to run in the finals. I want to. God, give me a chance. Give us a chance.. If we didn't have any probs.. we could have been faster. 4:12 maybe? I know it's useless to say 'we could'.. Not blaming anyone. You guys did your best in the circumstances. Yea.
After the run, Dickson's muscles were kinda tight so got him to walk 200 m then jog the other 200 m. Then we had a drink of water. After which we jogged another round. We were supposed to go for another round, but the 400 m hurdles started so were waiting for the event to be over(and also watch it at the same time) before we jogged. But then the DB people started jogging so Dickson went to join them. Leaving me alone. Stupid Xiao Dick. =P Haha.
I knew Hin Fan definitely wouldn't run.. Neither would Chuan Ting who would stay with Hin Fan.. Hmmmm. So I went to find Michelle. Haha. And asked her to jog with me.
The 400 m hurdles then started, with Hakim coming in 2nd place in his heats. So close to 1st. Good job dude! =D
After which me and Michelle started jogging.. She started off faster than I could keep up. Haha. I was like, "Hey, chill.." My muscles needed time to warm up. Jogged to the 300 m bend where my muscles were warmed up so I burst off. I love the feeling. =) Sorry Michelle if I suddenly just left you back there like that. Haha. But thanks for jogging with me! It may not seem like much to you but it is to me. I needed that jog, if not it would only be a matter of time after which my muscles would no longer move. Haha.
Dickson stopped with the DB people at the netball court where they were doing sets.. So I walked up to him. "Eh. I still feel like jogging. My legs feel like running." HAHA. So we started jogging again, with my handphone mp3 blasting emo chinese songs.. LOL.
On the 4th round, I felt a lil tired and wanted to stop. I remember telling Dickson, "It's gonna be 1.6km soon huh? How long more you jogging?" I wanted to stop but he wanted to jog some more so I decided to go on. =) By the 7th round, my legs were kinda going break down le. And Edwin was done with DB sets so we completed our 8th round and stopped. Phew. Hahaha.
So in total I jogged 11 rounds and a did a 400 m sprint relay. =) Nice work out. Just the thing I wanted. Anyone wanna join me for more of this? =D You'll be most welcomed. Heh.

I feel, but I do not react. Or at least I try not to show it.. Mmmmm.

Now the only thing on my mind is this phrase..
'If you're afraid of defeat, then get stronger..'
I want to get stronger..
I want to be able to run faster.
I want my speed back.
I want my sprinting stamina back.

Random thought of the day
I just realised that this week that actually Ber really knows alot. It's just that she acts so blur till I never realised it. Haha.
8:00 PM
Ah.. I think I over-exerted today.. This is the first time I took a 3 hour nap and yet, still have a headache.. My legs are weak. My muscles are in danger of cramping..
Today ran 400 m practice.. Edwin, Dickson, Me, Hin Fan and Wei Jin. Wei Jin, Dickson and Hin Fan beat me.. Ah. Dickson beat me by 3s, Hin Fan beat me by 9s and Wei Jin beat me by 00:50+ s.. Damn.
After that, the girls asked us to pace them for 4x100 m. They split themselves into two teams, the main team and another.. At first I couldn't run at all. So the other four guys went to pace them. So I went to run with Joyce and Fyonne.. Ran beside them at their max speed, just in front of them and cheered them to keep up with me.. Sorry if I was too fierce.. Haha. It just seemed natural to do what I did. At least Fyonne said it was very motivating and not fierce. PHEW. Sorry though. =)
Then the girls were doing their 12x100 m relay and Audrey couldn't/didn't wanna run. I was asked to replace her. So ok lor. It was fun. Haha. I was to pass the baton to Michelle. When she turned back to get the baton from me, she stepped and ran into the other lane.. Mmmmm. Actually they shouldn't be turning back to get the baton. It's a blind pass for 4x100 m. And they should be sprinting and not jogging when receiving the baton. Mmmmm.
Then I went to run with Baba.. She was the last runner of the 12x100 m relay. I really see Baba as a damn steady runner. Damn steady = Fast + constant + reliable.
I couldn't help running.. I miss it too damn much. Would someone run a 400m and a 100 m with me EVERYDAY?? I would really appreciate it.. Mmmmm. REally really appreciate it. You can be faster/slower than me. I don't really care. LOL.
But today I really over-exerted.. I'm dead now. Haha.

9:46 PM
Today's SL was.. like Huiting said on her blog.. a DISASTER. Yea. For me, personally..
Well, things were a bit messy at the start as I couldn't/didn't see any of my tutees.. Haha. So I just headed up to the classroom.. Saw Ryan Chai Mun Jun and so I asked him where Javier Ng was.. Ryan proceeded to promptly point Javier out, darting around the tables and chairs trying to elude my detection. LOL. Damn cute. Haha.
He sure is getting more and more playful since the first time I met him. Heh. And I must say, his reading is REALLY improving too. From someone who was struggling with 1a, who is now reading 2b with relative ease, he has really made a great improvement!! =D Great eh??
Also, I just love the way he remembers 'here' and 'there' the exact way I taught him to.. Pointing down he'll say 'here' and pointing away he'll say 'there'. Haha. That's how he remembers the words 'here' and 'there'. Of course I always make it a point to spell out the word to him and show him the differences in the spelling. Haha. =)
All that above was the happier part of SL..
Yes I know the kids were particularly noisy today. But can't you see it's merely them being warmed up to us and hence being excited to see us? And after all, they're KIDS damn it! PRIMARY 1 KIDS!! Can't you just let them play around some? The reading didn't even start yet! Where's the interaction time after not seeing us for a week?? They each have stories to tell us about their week.. So why can't you allow some noise? Where was the need to shout so loudly at them?? There's no need to talk about the kids.. You shocked/scared even ME!
You had finished saying whatever you wanted to say to us already.. So, just go? This may sound mean but I wanna say it. Perhaps you should have just left and not bothered to help us. We would have seriously done better without your shouting. You are from another classroom after all.. Don't interfere with our classroom..
And YOU!!(different person now..) You just HAD to join in and shout too right?? I know you like to shout and perhaps its part of your behaviour to shout. But I REALLY wonder if you felt ANNOYED by the noise or if you just thought it was FUN to join in the shouting. If you did it cause it was fun, then pls, DON'T you ever do that again.
Tell me. What right do the BOTH of you(or ANY of us for that matter) have to SHOUT at the kids? REMEMBER YOUR PLACE IN THIS SL!! We are merely student-tutors.. We do not have the qualifications as teachers. Also, they are NOT your children. IF you were a school teacher, FINE. But still you need to have appropriate reasons to shout at them. Did you even try to get them to keep quiet? And even if you did, did you get US, THEIR TUTORS, to keep them quiet? NO! YOU DIDN'T. We aren't school teachers. So remember your place! We have NO right to shout at them, unless they do something really downright wrong, and NO, making noise isn't one of those wrong things.. But even if they do something downright wrong, the teachers are there. Refer the kids to them..
After you guys shouted, my tutees were shocked, angry and lost the mood to read. They couldn't concentrate and thus gave me a damn hard time. Normally they'd be very warm and friendly towards me but today they were so ROWDY with SIANED faces.
I'm not angry with you guys just cause you guys shouted, but also for RUINING my bloody SL today.. I had to spend so much time trying to get them to cool/comfort them and even so, we didn't cover much today..
IF you wanna know how f-ed up my SL today was, pls feel free to ask Edelia, Ber or Amina about my tutees today. Ber kept giving me this shocked face, and Edelia and Amina, faces of bewilderment. Amina would be a better judge of how my tutees behaved today compared to normal days. Or you could even ask the teacher who had to step in to help me control the kids. Seriousy I'm pissed.
I kept trying to get them to read but today, they both insisted on reading different books, then kept asking me why I wasn't listening to one of them when I was listening to the other.. At that time I was already too tired to insist that they read the same book.
After some time, I just sat there, closed my eyes and wished the time would pass faster. I wanted to lighten the atmosphere/mood by letting them play games since nothing would be accomplished anyway.. But the teachers kept walking around and thus I couldn't do that.. This led to the events leading to the teacher stepping in on my behalf.
Yea. Stoned the whole day through at TM with Hin Fan, Edwin, Xiao Dick and Pineapple tart. I shouldn't have gone with them as I just needed to be alone. But I didn't wanna go home so I just decided to go with them. I wished I had brought my headphones so I could shut out the noises all around me.. So I tried to do that by minimising the noises by walking further away from the rest of them. Wasn't good enough. The other people were still too noisy. Mmmmm.
One part I walked too fast and they tried to trick me by hiding somewhere. But I already knew. I knew they would try that and so I turned around once in a while. Noticed just as I stepped into Century Square. Well, I felt that was better so I continued to walk by myself. Better as in less noise(not meaning you guys are noisy).. Then Edwin called me. Hanged up on him the first time. But he called again so I picked up. Then waited for them to come find me. Yea..
Came home and took a nap as I was sianed, exhausted and DAMN hungry. Didn't have the energy to go buy dinner. Woke up at about 6.30 p.m.and Mum ordered Macs for me before everyone left the house for dinner.
Yea. That's all I wanna blog. Tired..

I'll Be - Edwin Mccain
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive, not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Bridge:
And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said
Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life (x2)
The greatest fan of your life.
Greatest fan of your life.
6:50 PM
Today I woke up feeling so damn tired. Haha. Almost wanted to skip the long morning walk. But then, aiya. Nvm la. Just get on with it..
Did Physics tutorial with half the class during Math lecture. Then I took out my earphones and listened to music. Lol. =)
Stoned during Physics tutorial..
Chem prac couldn't be bothered to do complete the experiments.
Then during Math tutorial I was damn pek cek.. Just felt so bloody restless and irritated. Haha. I really wanted to punch something or anything. I would have punched the wall, but I think I've fractured my knuckle a week back. Hurts when I punch the wall now. LOL.
I think I now understand how Audrey felt the other day when she said she felt damn irritated and asked if she could punch me. She punched me damn hard a couple of times la. Hahaha.
Well, I couldn't pay attention in class and couldn't take it le, so I told Pineapple tart and Xiao Dick that I wanted to leave the class for a walk. Pineapple tart accompanied me. Thanks retard! Walked around for a while and then felt a little better. Then went back to class and got damn pek cek again. HAHA. I'm weird.
But I must say, Pineapple tart is smart. Mmmmm. In certain ways.. =P She understands and is able to interpret why.. Or maybe it's just cause I didn't wanna admit it to myself. Heh.
Well, after school went to watch the heats.. I was time-keeper~! Haha.
First relay I was interested in was the 06S26 girls 4x400 m. My class mah, so must support. =) They put in their best effort. But I must praise Pineapple tart again.. She was DAMN fast. Caught up from last position to 2nd. when she was running, I was thinking to myself, "Why is she running so fast at the start of the race? I hope she can keep this up.." then later I was thinking, "Oh my.. She's still maintaining the speed even at the 300 m mark and on.." We finished.. 2nd? I think. Hmmmm. Not sure. Haha.
Second relay was Handsome's class 4 x400 m relay. They were all not bad. But the 2nd runner shocked me by running damn fast. Really fast. She was like sprinting the entire way.. SPRINTING. Handsome was also very fast. Haha. As expected. Handsome is a good runner. =)
Then the next thing I noticed was the J2 guys 4x400 m relay. The timings are as follows..
04:06
04:10
04:10++
04:11
04:23
04:26
I really don't know how far we can go to beat them. Gonna have a race between me, Edwin and Xiao Dick to choose the top 2 runners to compete. Our first heats we clocked 04:28 which is an average of 01:07 per runner. Edwin wasn't running as fast as he could, so I guess if he were to run faster, we could clock 04:23 hopefully? Lol. Don't laugh. I'm being optimistic.. =) Then now with Max, we can cut another 10+ seconds.. 04:13? Then all four of our runners have to cut down the timing even more during the heats to get into the finals. =D
Well, so earlier I went to run 400 m by myself after all the heats in my sch uniform.. Borrowed Baba's shoes.. Pineapple tart paced me from the 2oo m starting point for about, 50 m.. I couldn't catch up with her. Ahhh.. And she ran the 4x400 m relay earlier on so.. Yea. Mmmmm.
According to Baba, I clocked a timing of 01:10. Thats 3 secs slower than the average timing. And I feel I ran faster today then during the first heats.. So erm.. How slow was I back then?? Heh.
But well, I took the chance to measure the max % of speed I can use for the first 300 m and not die out during the last 100 m. I'm prepared for tmr. =) But also, not really.. If I lose to both of them, it'll be a personal failure. Amina and Baba should know what I mean.. Yup. But Edwin, I know you will read this. Don't you dare not run at your max speed tmr or I'll never forgive you. I mean it.
I worry for how running 400 m today and again tmr would affect me for the 4x400 m relay heats on Friday.. Since I'm so not in shape right now.. I'm gonna really take care of myself these two days.. Hahaha.
And also, on Fri we will be having heats during CPE which is at.. 10.30 a.m.? The sun is gonna be hell.. Just like the last heats. Pray to God for lotsa clouds people~! Those of you who read this. PLS. For me! LOL. =D

I've got so many things to say. But I don't wanna say them out. I don't see a point. Ok, maybe not really that I don't see a point but I just am confused. So confused.
So confused that sometimes I feel that I should just stop and wait. Wait for something, anything..
I'm can do anything but yet I'm not brave enough for some things.
There's nth wrong with life as it is, for me. But perhaps there's a cherry out there for the top of it all?

11:31 PM
Time for an emo post.. Mmmmm. Haha. Ok. Maybe not emo.. Just a short one..Yup.
Well.. I really dunno what I want.
If it's just time I want, I've got it already.
If it's to be there, I've also got that already.
So why..?
11:25 PM
I wrote out this blog post last night when I was emo-ing.. Was gonna put it here when I was free, but ended up studying with people the whole day..
Then later Handsome did stuff that was so against what I wrote about last night.. So now I can't post that post le cause it's not true. Lol.
Well, if you wanna know what the post is about. Come ask me and I'll let you read. LOL.
Yea.. Anyway, thanks Handsome for today. Or tonight, actually. It's like so coincidental that you do exactly what I almost gave up hoping for. Mmmmm. And thanks for cheering me up. Haha. =D

11:04 PM
I am so disappointed.. AGAIN..
Not helping with my sudden emo-ness at all.. Making it worse in fact.. *sigh*
Raise my hopes only to get it dashed against the rocks once more..
Perhaps I should just never expect/hope until anything comes to fruition..
9:26 PM
Is what I feel enough? Or should it be more?
Should it be more intense? Is it supposed to be any stronger?
The more time I spend the more I feel. Perhaps it's time to back off..
I get the right signs from my own side. Nth that I shouldn't see/feel is happenin. But still.. is it enough??
What should it be? Is what I have now enough?
I don't dare. I don't wanna lose anything I already have.
Despite how many times I think about it, there's no comparing the extent of which I am willing to sacrifice..
But then, why is this so??
The only question is.. Is it enough? I wish I could use hypothesis testing on myself..
9:03 PM
'Wo Ke Yi' made me so emo today. Haha. It was during Math remedial that I started singing to myself and then I got emo. Some thoughts came to my mind, prob the cause of it all. Haha. Mmmmm.. Didn't know who to sms so I just smsed Chuan Ting..
Then the retard called herself the 'delicious yummy and best pineapple tarttarttart' and told me to think of her and not think and listen to the song..
Funny way to describe yourself.. delicious, yummy? LOL.
Well, after that I went for the math quiz le so didn't reply her..
The math quiz was tough. Haha. Esp since my team consisted of me, Dickson and Amina. The 3 survivors. =D
Well.. We only managed to complete 17 questions and left out the other 13. 6 marks for a correct answer, 2 marks for any question left unanswered. Hmmmm. Yea.. =)
I'm lazy to blog anymore since nth much happened today.. Hahaha..
8:14 PM
Random Event of the day..
I was walking to some class after GP class.. And Miss Leow(the GP one) came up to me from behind and said, "Hi, Daniel!"
Haha. Asked me about my studies and all.. Then I asked her if my hair was long..
Her reply was, "YES. And you look like Dragonball Z."
I was like, "Ooookkaaayyy.." LOL.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Miss Leow, my fav teacher in the entire school. She was my GP teacher in first three months. She's a great teacher who would joke with you and all that, but of course she will scold you when you don't do work. All teachers should be like that.. =)
I remember back then, in GP class, she'll make some comments about GP, CME or just random stuff.. And I would give her many different facial expressions. And everytime I did, she'll say, "Daniel! Stop giving me that face!" LOL.
Yep yep yep. My fav teacher indeed. =D

I wonder how long I can keep this up.. I want to, but I don't know if it's smart/possible..
9:53 PM
Today was FREE CONE DAY at Ben & Jerry's~!! =D
It's free ice-cream, so after a long, dumb day at school, (we had math make-up lecture till 5.30 p.m), me, Chuanting, Irene and Fyonne went down to White Sand's Ben & Jerry's.. Actually supposed to go with Saba, Iyliana, Amina etc.. But then they disappeared.. So we just went ourselves..
Fyonne, Chuan Ting and Irene posing in front of Ben & Jerry's..
There was a damn long queue.. And thus at first I didn't wanna queue thinking it would take damn damn long to finally get our ice-cream, but then Irene persuaded us saying it wouldn't be very long as the queue was moving quite fast.. So.. Yea. Haha.
Well, thank god she was right.. I estimate that there were about 80 people in front of us? But it only took us 10 mins to get out ice-cream. Fast eh? =D
Meanwhile, there was this guy going around. He is a balloon sculpter. Cool eh? So the three girls got him to make them something..
Irene asked for a Teddy Bear..
Fyonne asked for a butterfly.. (Notice that it's a damn long transparent balloon tube linked to a purple butterfly..) I think it's damn cool. HAHA.
And last and the.. oops.. but not least.. =P Chuan Ting asked for a flower..
Here's a pic of the guy who's a balloon sculpter.. I think he's cool. Ignore his outfit though. LOL. =D
Well, the ice-cream was quite nice.. Just that the taste got boring after a while. At first I was eating cause it was nice.. Then later I was eating for the sake of finishing it. Haha. Mmmmm.
Met up with Saba, Iyliana, Amina Maisara and her sis(also called Amina something) as well as Shairah, who contrary to what the name suggests, wasn't shy at all. Heh. =)
We went to sit at Macs, where I had my dinner. Hin Fan, Edwin and Dickson came while we were at Macs and then started to queue.. Mmmmm.
After I had my dinner, I left for home with Baba, and met Ariffin on the bus. Haha. So random meeting him. I think he was scared/embarrassed to see me. LOL.
Yea. That's about it. Haha.

I know you guys are tired from coming back from thailand. I know you guys would be stressed cause the bike did cost money. But do you have to scold me the moment you get home?
I was all alone this entire time you were gone. I was all along missing you guys and when you guys finally came home, you had to start scolding me the very first thing?
If you guys just scolded, fine i guess it's my fault. But do you have to make comments like, i'm angry cause some people refuse to grow up? I mean.. What does growing up have anything to do with not thinking of locking the frame of the bike? What?
I know i'm in the wrong but must you do all that the moment you get home??
Why must you do this to me the moment you're back..?
Why must you shatter me..?

Happy Birthday, Theo~!!
11:30 AM
I'm so damn damn tired~! AHHHH. Just woke up and took a bath but I still feel so weak..
Yesterday was a busy day..
Woke up to an empty house, again, at about 10+ a.m.. Had breakfast and watched a little TV till about 12+ a.m. Then I started to clean up the house. Cleaned out my fish tank, packed up the stuff in my room, the kitchen and in the hall, mopped the floors of both the kitchen and hall.. Then I had to dry the floors. Haha.
After I was done, I got out the steamboat ware, the plates and chopsticks.. And waited. Everyone was late la.
Went to fetch Fyonne, Joyce, Audrey and Kek from downstairs.. Haha. They had all the food with them, so I showed them to the kitchen and left them to prepare the food. I just did the soup, cause I was really tired. =P
Edwin was the next one to come.
Then Hin Fan.
Then Wei Jin.
Then finally Michelle, at about 8 p.m.
We played a game during the steamboat whereby you will wear this headband and insert a piece of paper there. The piece of paper will have something written on it, either an action or a word/phrase. The person with that piece of paper cannot do/say whatever action/word is on it. But of course, the person won't be able to see what's written on the piece of paper so the others must try and sabo him/her. LOL.
I left the house for a while, then came back to find that my bike was missing. As in someone screwed off the wheels and took the bike. Damn assholes. Seriously. F*** shit. Dun have any idea when they took it but I only noticed it when I came back.
All of them left by 11.10 p.m and only me and Wei Jin remained cause he was waiting for Xiwen to finish work at about 2 a.m. I was waiting up too.. In the end slept at 3+ a.m.
Gotta go for jamming soon. Ah.. Tired tired tired..

Today was 4 x 400 m relay heats.. Haha. It was.. fun. =)
The stupid sun was scorching hot. It was during CPE period so we raced with the teams of 06s01. A total of 4 teams, 1 guy and 1 girls team from 06s26 and 1 guy and 1 girls team from 06s01.
I didn't exactly watch the races since I was the third runner of the 4 x 400 m team. I've always been 3rd runner so I insisted on it. Lol. Edwin was first runner, Dickson was 2nd and Hin Fan was 4th.. Once again, Max decided NOT to come to school. Perhaps he's sick. Mmmmm..
Edwin started off jogging. Haha. He said he didn't think the other class would run so fast since the weather was so hot.. But well, he was wrong. Heh. And also I guess his competitor was really fast.. Edwin only started running at the 200 m starting point.. I guess he didn't have the momentum at that point so trying to speed up so drastically, when his muscles were already tired, was very tiring. Yup. But he only lost by a bit. :)
Dickson tried to catch up but I guess his runner was fast too. But he managed to maintain the distance between the two guys teams. =)
Then it was me.. I ran as fast as I could.. But during the first 300 m I only managed to maintain the distance somewhat between the two guys teams.. The other runner must not have as good a stamina as his other team mates so by going so fast during the first 300 m, he couldn't keep up for the last 100 m. So thats where I managed to close the gap by a little..
Finally, Hin Fan saved the day by catching up with the other team and overtaking them~! =D He rocks seriously. Hahaha. Mmmmm.
And so, we won the other team. =)
The 062s6 girls team also won the other team. =)
Awesome huh?? HAHA.

Why is everyone, who I talked to more today, blogging f-ed up/emo posts on their blog? Mmmmm.
7:25 PM
Just got home. I'm sweating like mad, but I'm not tired. Haha.
Well, walked home with Sabababa. Haha. All the way from TPJC. =)
Talked about stuff. Nice sharing/talking session. We should walk more, Baba. LOL.
It's been a damn long time since I last walked a long walk.. I feel so refreshed, in a way.. It was kinda fun. After all, I do enjoy walking. Alot. =D
Mmmmm. School today was... Good and bad la. Things I do not wish to mention about. To anyone from 06s26 who reads my blog, pls do not blog about it too. Yup. Thanks alot. =) I do not wish to start another post about 'slascniyut'.. Although I feel like giving my comments, I shall refrain from doing so. Haha.
Ok. My sentences in this blog post seem to be so bloody random. Dunno what's gotten into me today. I can't seem to link what I have to say.
So.. Yea..

Iyliana and Amina asked me to run for sports day.. Mmmmm. They said I run fast.. Hmmmm. Well, me and Edelia have the same answer to that question..
"Yes, I know I can run faster than(or at least as fast as) most people.. But if I can't beat the best, what's the point of running?"
It's not that I don't like running. I LOVE sprinting. I love the way it makes me feel, like nothing matters. Yea.
This reminds me of Primary 6.. The teachers of Glasgow house made everyone run, so as to choose the fastest to race for the house for sports day. Noone knew who the hell I was. But I somehow made it into the top few runners.. Then they made us, the top 5, race a very short distance of like.. 30 m? I kept losing to this other guy and kept getting 2nd place. After a while, one of the teachers, Mr Z, made us race a longer distance of like.. 60 m? Yea. Then I started to beat that guy and kept coming in 1st. Then Mr Z was very interested in me and asked me to join track, which at that time was called, Athletics..
He made me participate in 100 m, 200 m and 110 m hurdles for sports day.. and I got Bronze, Gold, Gold respectively.. Mmmmm. I still remember coming home DAMN happy and shout-singing the song, 'Truly Madly Deeply' by Savage Garden over and over again.. Up till now, whenever I sing/listen to this song I remember sports day. Haha.
After that, the entire year was athletics training.. Every Tues, Thurs and Fri after school till about 7 p.m.. That was where I met my 4 x100 m and 4 x 400 m team. Daryl Low, Jeremy Cheng and Wilson. The four of us.. Lester and Nicholas Boo were in athletics too but they weren't in the team. I remember looking forward to the trainings every time.. Nothing was more joyful than going for training..
I remember invitational relays where other primary schools would invite us to compete against them.. We did well in those relays.. Always getting a trophy or medal. Mmmmm.
I remember training for 4 x 400 m relays with the entire team. After school we would change and run 400 m, which was one round around the school.. I was always the slowest in the team.
I remember trainings at the hougang and serangoon sports complex.. 400 m. rest 4 mins. 100 m. rest 2 mins. 200 m. rest 3 mins. 400 m. rest 4 mins. 100 m. rest 2 mins... on and on and on..
And finally.. I remember the Nationals..
We did our best for the 4 x 100 m relays.. But, sadly, we didn't make it. Mmmmm.
For the 4 x 400 m relay, we got into the finals.. I clocked my personal best timing for a 400 m run. I remember seeing Daryl Low(the 2nd runner) running towards me, in 1st place, with some other guy trailing about 30 m behind him. Seeing such a wonderful sight, I was so filled with adrenaline that I sprinted the first 300 m so fast that it was shocking. But for the last 60 m, I was reduced to a pitiful jog. However, it was my personal best timing. Lol. We got 1st place for the heats..
Then came the finals.. It was raining and raining and raining so heavily that they stopped all races for a period of time. Then when the rain lessened, it was time for our race. It was so damn cold. We were wearing a sports singlet and short shorts. I shivered as I ran and by the time I got to the finishing line, I was too damn tired that I just fell to the ground. I couldn't move anymore. I was too cold. Too tired. My run was over. But, that was not the end. I dropped the baton when I fell. According to the rules, I had to pick up the baton and pass it to my last runner. But I didn't have the energy. So he just picked it up and ran. And that, was how I lost the finals of the Nationals 4 x 400 m relay for my team.
We came in 4th. But we were disqualified.. Imagine, what would have happened had I not wasted so much time and passed the baton to my last runner just a little faster..? We would have been 3rd. We would have won a bronze for the Nationals 4 x 400 m relay.
After the run I couldn't face any of my teammates nor the coach. But I remember, MR Z told me, "You did your best. It's alright. It's just a race." That didn't exactly change how angry I was at myself, and how ashamed I was to face my teammates.. Mmmmm. But they didn't blame me either. Yea.. Ok I'm getting emo just thinking about how I lost the relay.. So I shall stop here.
Beautiful memories of a glorious past. What has become of me now..? Who I am now cannot be compared to who I was back then.
I wish.. I wish to run again..

Asked Mario to join us as keyboardist and he accepted. Haha. But now that I asked him, I realised most songs we play dun include a keyboard part. Hmmmm. Dunno how. Ah.. And most songs with a keyboard part have tough vocals.. So I really can't think of songs to play.. Ahhhh..

Today was a busy busy day. Haha.
The whole class didn't go for Econs, so we "ended" school, at 11.50 a.m. Haha. Well, still.. We couldn't leave school till 1 p.m. so we just hung out in school..
We, as a class, left for Yumin Primary school.. Michelle's and Chuan Ting's primary school.. Haha. Trying to imagine them both as lil kids, like the ones we saw.. HMMM. Maybe it would be easier to imagine Chuan Ting. LOL. But then again.. kids called her "aunty". Haha.
We were split into 4 different groups to manage 4 groups of the kids..
Group 1 : Wei Jin, Hin Fan, Edwin, Dickson and Michelle
Group 2 : Michelle Ong, May, Yuling, Dixon, Chuan Ting and Irene
Group 3 : BIASE
Group 4 : Henry, Audrey, Hui Ting, Joyce and Me
So many stories I heard about my classmates and their tutees, but I shan't share. HAha. I shall just talk about my tutee.
While I was walking to the front of the class to gather with Group 3 and 4, this boy turned to look at me. So I said, "Hello!" and smiled. He said, "Hello!" back and smiled too so I decided that I'm gonna take him as my tutee. LOL.
His name is Javier Ng. Quiet and nice boy. Primary 1 student who has 2 brown cats at home. Doesn't like Basketball or Soccer.. I didn't have any idea what else to ask him so I proceeded to start the tutoring. Haha.
He reminds me of myself. Shy and quiet, like me when I have tuition or other outside lessons.. He wouldn't say that he didn't know how to read the word but rather kept thinking with a frown on his face till I took it as he couldn't remember or didn't know. I did give him plenty of time to think though. =) That's just like me. Haha.
Well, I started with me reading the entire book to him, pointing out the pictures that the words were talking about so as to create a link between the word and the object. After that I let him read to me page by page.. BTW I was using 1b. Yup. The first 6 pages he seemed to read through easily. I was thinking to myself, is this book too easy for him? Then later on he got mixed up with the words 'a' and 'the', 'in' and 'is', and others.. He couldn't read these words but could read words like "Peter', 'Jane' and 'Shop'.. So somehow I didn't feel like he knew his alphabets well enough so I asked him to recite the alphabets to me, and with every letter he said, I wrote out the upper and lower case of the word on a piece of fullscap paper.. After that was done, I went on to teach him to pronounce every single letter. Haha. Start with the basics. Mmmmm. Got him to bring the piece of paper home. Yep. =)
Made friends with the other lil kids in the EL room, one of which is the kid Hui Ting fell in love with. LOL.
After that Edwin and Dickson left with me for my house to bathe and get ready for TPJC Songfest 2007~!!
We watched TV till Dixon came for me to do his hair. Haha. I wasn't confident of my skills so I got Dickson to help me out.
Here's a pic of us doing his hair. =)
After we did Dixon's hair, I brought out a jacket and then both of them went crazy.
They look like leaders of two rival gangs.
Dickson kept walking around with my jacket and posing so I decided to be their fashion designer for the day and dress them up. LOL. Dickson liked the outfit so much that he went crazy, asking me to take picture after picture after picture of him. I don't think I have space here to put all those pics so I shall just show you the end result.
Tada. Haha.
So we headed to school where we proceeded to the audi.. Me and dickson went in first as Edwin didn't have tickets.. So smuggled him in with Caspar's help. Haha. =D
Amina and Edelia in the audi..
Songfest was not bad.. I really felt Dixon did great! =) So did Caspar's band 'Blossom', who the AV screwed up. Dunno what's the AV Club's problem. They kept lowering the volume of the mic.. Stupid people. Didn't take any pictures of the performances though. Haha. Mmmmm.
I was pretty much fine till Rusty sang their song.. Yea.. Then after that sian diao..
After Songfest.. Dickson, Edwin, Dixon, Audrey, Hui Ting and me went for "dinner" at 201 Macs.. It was like.. 11.15 p.m.?
Edwin had to be home so the three of us bought take-away from Macs and ate on the bus ride to my house. Haha.
They got their bags from my house then as they were leaving, Dickson insisted on taking somemore pics. LOL.
HAHAHA. Dickson has changed.. Lol.
Dixon.. To me, you are a winner, cause you did really great on stage. Despite the fact that your competitors were strong ones, you stood your ground and gave them all a great fight. I respect you for not giving up. =) Don't ever be sad that you got a consolation prize, but rather, be glad that you sang really well. You rock bro~!! Winners are those people who never give up. They fight against all odds and win the battle within. So, be proud of yourself, just as all of us are proud of you. =D

"Don't be emo, Daniel."
I wasn't emo. I was just kinda deep in thought due to the movie..
Not about what was said in the movie or whatever. No. I've watched this kinda movies so many times le. But rather, what the movie made me realise..
I like these kinda movies. I don't find them boring. Granted this one wasn't exactly very inspiring, but still it was good. Yup.
Differences are cool. Differences are interesting. But then.. Mmmmm.
I'm still deep in thought. Since the movie till now..

Girls can be jealous about their bfs and when they are, guys are blamed. Other girls will tell you, "She's your gf leh.. Why can't you understand her more? Why can't you stop hanging out with girls so much?"
Then what about guys? Guys do get jealous too you know..
When a guy is jealous about his gf.. What do the other girls say? "Why are you so overprotective? Why are you so clingy? Why can't you trust her? Give her space. Trust her."
Why is there this great discrepancy? Where is the fair-ness in all this? And the dumb thing is that we guys CANNOT raise this issue to any girl(gf, or other girls when we're attached) or they will tell you, "You're a guy leh. She's a girl.."
Sure. Sure.. Guys are supposed to be the strong ones. We're not supposed to get jealous easily.. Right. Well, here's something to note. Guys do get jealous as easily as girls do. Or even more at times. So, if you wanna tell guys to understand girls more, please do the same for your bf or future bf.
Please take note. This post is not meant for any specific person to read.. I mean it. It's just something I realised. I will not be held responsible for anything that happens should anyone choose to read it and think I'm talking about him/her/them.

Dear Lord, if it's not too much to ask for, could you make me more capable..?

Dear Lord,
In church today, I was thinking about my life in TPJC.. In the past 1 1/4 year in TPJC.. Sure it has been eventful, with happy and sad memories.. But up to now, You have led me through it all. You did as You promised, not giving me more than I care bear, but rather, giving me enough to make me stronger.. To learn from my mistakes and thus to grow.
Even when things seemed like it were impossible to bear, I got through it. Why? Cause You sent me "angels" in the form of my friends to encourage me, to support me and pick me up, enabling me to stand up on my own feet once more.
Like last year, when I fell and thought I couldn't/didn't have the strength to stand up, You ensured that whenever I needed someone, they would be there when I smsed/called. However, at that time, I thought that You were so far away.. But it was just that I couldn't see, You were right there with me, in the forms of my friends..
Thank You, Lord for Your great, unfailing, unconditional love.. =D
