If you have nothing better to do, check out saturday 24 April's straits times asia segment. On page A22 there is an article talking about SCGS winning anderson. Haha... Write until so exciting...

OMFG!!!!!

Yishun got second in nationals.

We won Yishun

You would have thought that we would have got first right? but NOooo...

We are not even in the top four!

This sucks big time. If only we were in the other group we could hav egot at least third. Comfirm!!!!! Damn it...

Hongyi did not come. We were trashed. Not that we did not put in effort, zhiliang ran even though he had just ran in 400m and was very exhausted. Kudos to him. But we did not really expect to win though, but I am sure that we can do better than we did if only we all were fit.

In the evening, I went to Sherwyn's house to celebrate Roy's birthday.

Life is made up of choices. There is no such thing as without a choice. For example, people say that they MUST hand in homework. But is it really true? You can choose NOT to hand in homework even if you are threatened with caning. It is the fear of the consequences that makes us do. So we are actually CHOOSING to do homework for fear of the consequences if we do not do it.

This is important. Not everything is beyond your means and predestined. By choosing our response to such stimuli, you are effectively changing your future.

People say the world is a sad place and it may seem quite true, wars, terrorists, exams and losing basketball games. Even stuff like sad love. Many would say that it is not at all funny and we should be serious and sad. That's not true, it is your choice if you think it is serious and sad. I say that there is always a funny side to it. It depends on your choice to see it as ironic and amusing, or as heartbreaking and tragic.

Life sucks, shit happens, what can I do about it? Since I know that I cannot change the event itself, I will have to shape my own reactions to these events. I choose to see it in a positive light. No matter how sad, there are always little bits of irony if you look close enough.

If there seems that there is nothing to laugh at, you have forgotten yourself.

We were trashed today. Trashed as in totally trashed. I think they got almost double our score. Haha. This was partly due to us just trying to have fun in the end. So we went on a 13 game winning streak, then a 3 game losing streak. I think our record is better than many other teams but it is not the record that counts. Too bad.

Finally, after so long, i have cut my hair. Tomorrow is sports day. Don't know if we will do well for the relay. Hopefully Hongyi can come. If not, we are gonna lose...

Shit Happens

WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my opinion, it was winnable. My fault... So many turnovers...Haix..

I could not wake my computer up yesterday so there was no entry. Instead, I will blog about yesterday today.

Yesterday, was out sports heats. It was also the finals for the 800m run which i took part in. It was really fun man, except at the end. At the beginning, all the sec3s were like running real fast and the sec4s were like very relaxed, and just jogging. As expected, near the end of the first round all the sec3s got tired so we started running. After catching up from third last to third, there was only zhen hao, leonard, me and I think joshua was behind me. So we ran and ran and zhen hao became first, then got some idiot block my path, so I had to sprint like crazy to catch up. I did manage to catch up and got first. I took like 2.30 and zhen hao I think was 2.31 or 2.32. Such a narrow margin. Joshua took the third place.

After that i went to mac to study and play bball. Bye bye

Yes! We managed to accomplish the amazing and are now on a 13-game winning streak. Ye won Bukit Panjang today. Haha.. All the matches in the nationals seem to be extremely exciting. Yay... You think we all very happy right? Top in group some more. The teams that qualified were us, yishun, anglican, unity, jurong, chong cheng, henderson and yuan cheng. Of these, the ones which we would like to go against are chong cheng, henderson and unity. They seem to be the lousiest out of the rest. The rest are really damn strong. Thanks to a twist of fate, we are now against anglican, jurong and yuan cheng.

WHAT THE FUCK!!??$@@^%$#&^$$#%#$%

Nice man this group... Winning these teams would be akin to say... magic trashing lakers. Something along those lines. Oh well, we have come thus far, we might as well enjoy our potentially last three games left as a 'b' boy. PIAH!!!!!

The last hour or so of today has certainly been meaningful and deep to me. I have learnt a lot of things that I have always yearned to find out, but never dared to ask. And I can say that it has provided closure for me. I have found out all that I wanted to, and though there are still certain regrets, I can say that I’m glad that it happened. Not that I’m jumping for joy or anything, but I feel the inner peace and tranquility that at least some, if not all, of life’s unanswered questions has been answered. Thank YOU, for teaching me more about life and love than I ever cared to know about.

Ever heard of the line “Opportunity only knocks once”? Well, there’s another follow up that goes “and temptation bangs on the door for years”. I’m telling you now that it is both true. Opportunity does, or should I say did knock once. And I was deaf to it. Now however, it is gone. I should have answered the door. That’s all I can say. But, as another cliché goes, what’s done is done, and (here’s another one) time and tide and knocking doors wait for no one. So I shall let my thoughts and feelings lie buried forever under this blog entry, and thus be unburdened.

I once wrote a poem, long and horrible, somewhere in the annuals of this blog, and up till now, I’m still quite touched myself about what I wrote. I have never written, and probably will never write another one equal to it in emotion. It basically summed up my life up till that point.

Oh well, I’ve got a match against Bukit Panjang tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Oh yea!! We won Temasek today by a margin of just two points! Wow. Nationals are really tough to play. All the teams we were against were all tough fights. No more easy trashing... Every game is important. Got a few really good teams though, Unity, Anglican and Jurong. These are the three best teams I think. All damn power one... Dunno how we are going to go against they if we get past top eight. Hopefully we can all exercise our tyco skills and get into top four.

The good thing about having to play matches is that I can miss lessons. The bad thing is trying to do all the homework and learn all the things taught the morning after before school. I think I shall wake up at like 5.20 to go and do homework man. Hopefully I don't miss really important stuff.

Alamak! Die ah, how? Should I? Can I? What are the chances??? Who cares about the odds?

Today we had out oral examinations and collections of results.

Basically, my results sucked. I think my parents were really disappointed when they learnt that I failed combined humanities. When Ms Chan asked me what I had to say for myself I really wanted to say that I have tried my best and I have no regrets. But that would have come across as me trying to be snide. Instead, I said nothing, which came across as me acting dumb. Not exactly the wisest of choices.

It's so disheartening. I actually DID study for the SS and geo tests. I really did. I made mind maps and pratically memorised the entire chapter. But it was just not enough. If I get lousy results for usual tests, fine, I know that I did not put in much effort and will surely do better if I actually bothered to study properly. But this is different! I actually tried very hard to study and memorize everything. But it just was not enough.

Was it because I did not study hard enough? Probably not. There wasn't very much left to study. I think that the root lies in that perhaps I have been studying the wrong things. Maybe I should have tried looking at model answers and copying the answer structure. This seems so obvious in retrospect. That will solve my SS woes. But what about geog? I am supposedly better in geog than in SS, but that seems to be wrong. What is there to refer to? I do not have any model answers. Perhaps all my problems will be solved in I just keep relating everything back to the question?

Yes. More presentation. Less content. Maybe this is all I need. I shall try it out for my next test.

So funny... how come my entries are not displayed when i post them? Is blogger going crazy? No one knows...
