Oh Yes! We won out first nationals match. Against Yishun Sec. The score was 56-52. I scored three points. Hahaha. But I think I played quite well, because I kept disturbing that number 13, he keep trying to post up on me then I keep poking the ball away. So funny. Yishun were really not bad man, we were also a little rusty at first, but we managed to catch up anyway. So onward it is, to Temesek and Bukit Panjang. They looked quite ok, definitely not to be laughed at.

I really wish I have more time to blog. But have a ting xie (again) tomorrow for six kes (as usual) so I have to study hard, since at this time I have only finished two of the kes. What's more, I have physics and chemistry test, as well as my NAPFA five item test. Out of all these, I only have confidence in my NAPFA. Haha...

I do not know why, but I feel quite happy now a days, maybe its because Eileen and shiyun and jialing and Douglas and soonglong and Elroy and ze hou and chin huat bought a really nice pair of boardshorts for me! I will surely wear it when I next go out ok? haha... gotta go now!

Whoa, its been hectic the last two days what with preparing for the funfare that was held today.

Yesterday, I went to sandy's house after school to prepare the food. I volunteered mainly because I wanted to help. And also because I like to peel potatoes. Strange isn't it? But there is some strange, pleasure in taking a hard, brown potato, cleaning, cooking and peeling it into this soft, yellow nice-smelling thing. Do not make me peel half-cooked potatoes though, it really irks me, and I will end up just chopping the potatoes up. Or eating the raw, crunchy potato.

Anyway, besides the potato, we also prepared lots and lots of eggs, chopped several sausages and minced the ham. It is so fun to be doing all this stuff. If only I had more chances like this in the future.

After all the preparing and stuff, we ordered pizza, and played cards. Then we went to do stupid things like playing dai-dee in the middle of the road. Let me tell you, this really tests your concentration and reflexes. Especially if you are in the middle of drawing a flush from your deck while frantically looking to see if that strange noise you heard was a car, or just your imagination.

But the stupidity climaxed on the way home. Hui shan's dad volunteered to let me and zhiliang get a ride outside. When outside, he asked us where to go. I told him that I can take a bus from any busstop along this road. I was near bowen then. That guy ended up driving me FURTHER away from home and let me off at *gasp* AMK central! Now I'm sure he meant well and all but what kind of idiot will do this sort of stupid thing!!?? When I reached home, it was around eleven...

The funfare was today. Not exactly the most exciting of events but I had some fun. I got a tattoo (for free), rode the bull for 76 seconds, bought lots of food, got dunked in the dunking tank, and went to the haunted house.

Ok. I guess the haunted house was quite ok, but one of the biggest problems was that the groups they let in was too big. And when malcom is your guide, it isn't really very scary anymore. In fact, I do not recall even a single scary thing, just lots of ultraviolet lights and masks. Well, at least you can say that the NP did a good job of decorating the place with trash bags... I think we spent more time inside with Ms loong giving us warnings, or the guide trying to get out attention that actually doing anything.

One of the rules was that we were not allowed to touch the exhibits. But what if the exhibits touched us? Will I be justified in punching the grim reaper in the face if he came running towards me? Fortunately, I let death touch me without retaliation, which might have gotten me into some trouble? One of the problems they faced was that there was a massive queue. This was because there could only be one group at a time. Well, I feel that this problem could be solved if they... Say... Not make us walk circles around the star of David? What's the point of that? Its not scary for one, and only gives us a chance to make more lame jokes, which totally destroyed the scary part of the experience. But if the point was for us to have fun, it didn't really work when Ms loong kept popping in to warn us that if we do not keep quiet and be properly frightened, she will kick us out... spoilsport...

The decorations inside were not bad though, really cool looking masks, and costumes, and the lighting was nice.

I think Andy hide behind the door and scare me also more scary... But Andy cannot make banging noises nor make my shirt glow purple...

Wow... This is my fortythird entry... I'm privately amazed that I could come up with so much nonsense to write. I've discovered that my spelling is becoming worse as, thanks to Ms Aw, I now have three thousand words to write. Therefore, I resolve to type my future blog entries in crisp, proper and sometimes pompous English.

In fact, I will be running spell check if I have the time after every entry and if you ever read what I type and discover a typing error, please feel free to correct me.

Have I mentioned that the nationals are starting soon? Next week in fact. Zhonghua will be up against Temesek, Bukit Panjang and Yishun Secondary Schools. I've never played against any of the schools except yishun, whom we won two years ago during the first round of the nationals. So this will be the second time we play against them.

Hopefully, this year we can accomplished what has never been done before and make it past the first round of the nationals. I think Zhonghua has never won a zone championship before much less a national title. Not that we will win the national title... Or will we?

The holidays that never came is over and the lessons that had never ended have started again. We had a Biology test in the Chemistry laboratory. During Chemistry period. I caught a lizard in class today. How strange it was. You know the phrase "diao(4) tou(2) jiu(4) pao(3)"? Well, this lizard dropped its tail. That's right"diao(4) wei(3) jiu(4) pao(3)" Guess it would rather not shit than not eat...

How is it that everytime i read josh's blog, i will be listening to a sad song. And this compells me to write sad things... However, there aren't much sad things to write coz you know hu just gave me a present!!! whoohoo... first time in four years...

I shall now expound on the meaning of life. to me, life is one big twisted ironic sad joke. However sad and depressing it can be, at the end of the day, the onus is on yourself to muse " Whew, that was SOME shit"... This my friends, is the shining beam that guides me through the dark shitty expense of cockroach infested alley called life... Yes... Live sucks, but come to think of it, so do alot of things, like oral sex. Not only does oral sex sucks, it blows too! I wonder how... Come to think of it, oral sex also showcases the ironic part of life... The world is full of irony...(due to industralisation, which causes an increase in the need for goods made of iron and hence more iron ore, or irony is being extracted from the earth, which weakens the earth's magnectic field) and corny jokes

Seen in that light, all of life's troubles must be taked with a pinch of salt, or else you will get cramps... Well, i feel that the best way to deal with the manure life doles out on a daily basis, is to see it in a more positive light: the light of humor... Even sad things can be funny... But it doesnt mean the you should just say ' shit happens' and move on.. Sometimes its worthwhile to wallow in self misery for a while. Which happens to me alot. But in the end i will realise that i am talking to myself and remove my thumb from my mouth...

Alot of people say that hope is the most important thing. That it gives us strength and will to go on... I personally think that it is a load of bouvine manure for want of a better word... Being on the receving end of it, i can really say that hope is not what its all hyped up to be... if i did not have hope at that time, i would probably not have liked sum1 for so long... I would probably have said 'hot damn... fuck it' and moved on... but all thanks to hope... it did not happen that way... well, too bad.... bleah.....

Three big things happened today!
1. I was late for lessons
2. I ate a watermelon
3. Training was damn siong

there's a strange phenomenon happening. It seems that if i wake up in the middle of the night to go pee, i somehow will not wake up at the right time the next morning! Either i have slept throught the alarm, or the alarm has magically turned itself off. Coz i sure as hell didn't turn it off
Anyway, i woke up at 9am today! Lessons start at nine... So i jumped out of bed, brushed my teeth, grabbed my stuff, changed and ran out. Fortunately a cab just happened to go past te moment i steeped out of my house. So i chased the taxi and took it to school. The stupid cab fare cost me 6.50... So i had like 1.50 left...

Today's bio was quite fun, but i felt like shit the whole time. My hair was messy, i was wearing spects and i was sweating like a pig. Whats more, i had not had breakfast and i was damn hungry!!

After the practical, doug, kailing and i went to eat lunch. I ate $3 of hokkien mee, a rotiprata, and drank a cup of tehpeng. After that, for some strange reason, i think coz i was still thirsty, we walked over to the supermarket opposite. there, i bought a piece of watermelon. It was roughly the size of singapore... nah.. More like two tissue boxes stacked on top of one another. It took me around 45mins to finish that slice of watermelon. Guess what? I ate everything without a spoon, so in the end, i had to scrape my whole face along the base in order to eat, like some stange, demented, vegetarian tiger.

It was a momenteous occasion when i finally finished the watermelon. I had everybody sign the melon and i was playing with the skin for the rest of the day.

Today's training was SUPER SHIOK!!! We didn't touch the balls at all. Instead, we ran 8 rounds, did the usual physical things, and then DID GYM! The last time we did it was like 2 days ago... Oh my god!!! So fun man!!!

Anyway, after the gym, we went upstairs to do some defence training like slippery steps and 'half-squatting infront of chair'. To distract ouselves, we ended up playing chikopah...

Well, today was sure a heck of a day!!hahahaha...

HAha... Do you know what jl, hc, elroy, sherwyn and i think all the rest bought me for my bday? A wedge of watermelon... Wah Lao!!! what kind of gift is that??? At least half lah!!! 1/5 where got enough??? Elroy eat oso only enough for one of him...You know whats the worst thing?? I forgot to bring it home!!! So i have NO WATERMELON.... So sad right? I cry for one whole night... No lah... Just kidding. half a night only.

this week's holidays is insane man. I have to go to school like every single day! And the tim is almost like school hours! like say from 8am to 1pm... Normal is 7.30- 1.50. So its just like an hour's shorter than a normal school day. So stupid... Whats more, all the teachers gave homework! And each gave a week's worth. So doing the maths, i have 8 subjects, eact with one week of homework, i will have 8 weeks of homework. Plus i have to go to school a day and the time difference is just say... 2hours, i have 10 hours to do 8weeks, which is actually 1444hours of work! which means i have to do 144.4 hours of work in one hour! Siao boh!! Can die 1...

HEY everybody... hu wanna go sentosa dis fri!!!
please go!!! Coz after this we all gotta go piah for nationals and mid yr exams liaoz... so lets take this as last chance to enjoy k?

Actually the main reason is that i have 2 free admission tickets to sentosa... So the first person hu tag and say that he or she wanna go sentosa will get the other free ticket ok!!??

Haha... I think this year is one of the most exciting bithdays ever! In the morning, i went to play ball. Then i went to swenson's with my parents, then finally to east coast for a barbeque. It was loads of fun. At the chalet, we actually rented blades right before it rained. Then we bladed to coffeebean where it started raining. So we took off out clothes and bladed back... I was SOOOOO fun! HAhah...

WHOOHOO~! We beat SAS! AGAIN~! haha... Zhonghua is now the first in south zone! So good man! Hopefully we can go to the national top eight this year! Show that THP that we got stuff

DAMN~! I didnt get to play again!!! Ahhhh! So fustrating you know? Its like you get so pumped up for the game and in the end you just sit there and cheer. Why the hell did i ever bother doing warm up... Its like i was so focused... just like for the peicai... but just didnt get the opportunity... Not even to run... So sian. I spent my evenings doing situps and pushups and jumping just to get rid of excess energy... Bloody hell...

Well, its great that we won and all, but i feel like i dont really deserve the prize, coz i made no contributions whatsoever in the two most important games...Haha

Yay!!! Bday coming liaoz!!! ahhhhahahahha

we won 60-46 against peicai yesterday. Its really great that we won and all and we will be facing saint andrews but for the first time in my life i never play in the match. Its really really fustrating coz i know that i could do it but i just did not have the opportunity to do it. Well, at least i can say that i dont even need to play we can win liaoz. Thats scant consolation to me... Haiz... if only i can play more. But i dont really look forward to playing against SAS though. With peicai, its much easier coz their center is shorter and i can just keep trying to draw foul. With SAS, they are so damn tall that they dont really have to bother to jump...

Well, whats over is over, and there is much to do. Nationals coming after finals, after holiday and my birthday is also coming soon! this coming saturday is it. However, i think that there is training on that day so i don't know how i am goiing to celebrate my birthday. Maybe i will just go home and sleep.... sigh~

What should i do when i leave school? Hopefully, i can go to a JC. But i have no idea which one i want to go to. Anderson JC was one of my first choices but i have been hearing from my friends that it really sucks there. I dont want to go to nanyang JC either 'coz the uniform sucks. That leaves me with no JCs in mind. Maybe i will follow cloud and go TJC but i really do not know if i can get in. Hell, i dont even know where TJC is. Victoria i like, but its so bloody far. Haiz~~~ really no place to go. Maybe i will just end up in poly and i dont need to bother about it after all.

Should i continue with basketball after i leave school? Thats another thing i am pondering.. Its not that i am that great, so maybe i should join something else like rock climbing? Haha. That will be lots of fun.

Its now 12am... I dont know why but i can type more at night. I have a LOT of things to get ready for tomorrow. Starting with the tests, i have chinese and emaths test and vocabulary test on monday. 6 more kes of ting xie on tuesday. Bball finals on wednesday. Chem test and 2 more tingxie on thursday. Hey! at least my friday is free. Oh no! my plan to study 4 cheng yus per day is starting to fall apart. by tomorrow, i have to study twelve more just to keep up with my standard. But i already have to study the equvalent of 12kes of ting xie for the coming week. Do i really have the strength to study these words? I really don't think so. Maybe i will just study four words a day during weekdays. Perhaps its better that way.

Hmmm. don't know why but im not feeling really happy now. Maybe coz i am listening to sad music or because no one is talking to me. Soooo lonely...

Sometimes you keep trying to buy a flaming arrow. But people keep banging you before you have enough money to buy it. Sometimes when you think that you have suddenly bought it, the flaming arrow is suddenly saboed and is gone. But you always seem to have 167799 gold. So you hold out hoping for the next turn. But come next turn, you only have 16700 gold. I seems like you are just not fated to buy the flaming arrow. Maybe, Just maybe, there is no point in buying the flaming arrow after all. Maybe, just Maybee you should just buy 2 steeds. But you see that your next turn is coming again, and you think, allright, one more time, lets try to get the arrow. Yes!, you buy the arrow. but a second later you find that it has been sabotaged. Now you are broke and arrowless. Your heard bleeds for that lost. You are not even in the mood to buy a knife. Looks like you will finally stop harping about the arrow right? Wrong, One day later, you are on the brink of buying the arrow again. And the cycle continues and continues. Every round you go through you feel sadder and more like forgetting it. But then you think 'wah! flaming arrow'!!! and there you are again....

Too bad i don't KoC now... i really have not much to do online. Hey! next turn coming. ...... .... ... .... ...

Hmm.. Did not feel much like blogging today, coz im real tired and its getting quite late(for me). However, after reading my frens blog and seeing him bering overcome by grieve, i feel inclined to write something sad and tear-wrenching as well. Especially since my com is now playing a very sad sounding song, from FF...

I have not written for a long time about my feelings nowadays, and i do not think theres much to write... I do not like anybody i think, as much as i like-or used to like- the ahem ... So since i cannot find anyone that seems nicer, either there isnt, or i still like the wadever. In either case, theres still no 1... haha..

But even though love is a many wonderous thing, love lifts us up and all you need is love yadda yadda, love is not everyting.. even though now no priston tales, also have nba live

Besides that, this is a good time to start studying for o levels and playing more bball, and getting a life instead of acting like some lovelorn lad. If only i had the time i would want to go rock climbing and kayaking... Sigh.. Guess all i will do now a days is play basketball and study. Hopefully it is enough to distract me from all the sad, heartbreaking stuff...

I was just wondering.. HOw come when you feel very sad, your heart is really pain? You know, its like my heart is breaking and all but when you are sad, there is really a pressure there. Hopefully someone will know why its like that and tell me ... but for now, i gotta go study 128 X 4 words....

Ms Tan Hwee Pin sucks! Ever since she has came into zhonghua, she has been spoiling all the traditions and undermining us students in the her own intrests.

Traditionally, every year, after the o level results are released, the principal will give the students half day off the next day. However, today, she spent 10 Bloody minutes talking to us and NO HALF DAY. WHAT KINS OF STUPID BLOODY MORON IS THAT??? After she dismissed us, all of us were booing her,... dunno if she heard...bloody bitch

Hooray! While huang lao shi has gone for reservist, our relief teacher is none other than.... OW lao shi! Hahah... she seems to come back from retirement every now and then to take over some classes.. Today she gave us ting xie for another SIX kes!!! Which i spent a total of 7h from starting to finishing. Ow lao shi used to teach me when i was in 2e6 and in higher chinese. She was very very blur, and has a very funny way of asking us to be quiet, which is the same everytime so that we can imitate her all the time. Realllll funny.

Another funny thing happened today

Ms OW: Izyana and Maybelle, are you two sick or something?

Izyana: No, where just sharing the same chair

Ms Ow: Oh my God, why not get another chair

Zara: I'll go get it

(Zara leaves)

Ms Ow: see, now michelle has to take it for you

Me: Aiya... Chairman What.... Of course lah....

Class: WaHahAhahAhhAhHAhhA

Incase anybody does not know, Michele Zara is the Chair woman for the student council. I think i shall complain to her about half day...
