The Five Factor Personality Test

found this test courtesy of jason hoon the baboon. lol. that was totally random. haha. so anw... the festive week is coming up, also signalling that the hols are drawing to a close. so sad.

yest, we were supposed to go blading at ECP. den lao shi (aka yi teng) called me to say meet at 12 instead at 10am. i was like... grrr!!! haha. cos i had to leave at 2pm for church. So anw... even at 12, not all the ppl were there yet. haha, i mean... in a group, at least one is late. due to unforseen circumstances at ECP, we decided to just go somewhere to eat first. thai pan was the place. cool place man. we ordered quite a lot, but atleast we could finish up. den it was back to 7-eleven again. i left after and dunno where they went aft tt.

so i went to church for the camp debrief. lots of things touched on... and it ended just in time for me to go to meritus mandarin. talked to meishan on the bus, the way there. found out she also has had phlegmy muscus these few days. lol.

so i reached a little early and called the Arc gang. eugene said they were in cineleisure so i decided to look for them. so we went tgt aft a while (to the hotel)... and made chris hold the huge teddy bear! ahahhahaha. eunice's other fren was also there. so wat was i doing at the meritus? having dinner at some posh (and really, ex) restaurant, buffet style, to celebrate eunice's bdae. her parents were the ones treaing all 8 of us. eunice, thanks for inviting! haha. we made *ahem* sit with eunice. haha. food was really delicious... and the filipino guys singing for us were great! i even had to deposit my stools in the hotel toilet bowl halfway thru. hahahahha.

my trip to cambodia was.... TERRIFIC! hahaa. good experience really.

Run The Race

2006-12-08T19:56:00.000+08:00

just came back from RTR (Run the Race) camp. it was awesome. the messages touched my heart, quite a few professions of faith (really thank God about Si Cheng), and Autumn was crazy and rarr rarr. although i didnt really think it was the best camp at first, (from a selfish pov, it does), but i think younger campers and newer ones enjoyed it thoroughly. yup, thoroughly. u couls see it on their faces. well, really wanna thank God for preserving us throughout, and blessing the games and all. man, wish i could get some pics. i know something big is gng to happen. i see the lives of rogan, and jeremy, how they are changed and on fire for God. i know i have to catch it.

thank God for a few lives changed IN camp. darren esp. thogh not completely changed, but u can tell its in the process.

what i'll nvr forget is the determination and endurance the Spring guys put up during Tug-of-War. yup. really encouraging was the fact that we pressed on even when both opponents nearly brought us off our line. and eventually, we prevailed. sheer determination, i tell u. it was truly a blessing cos we were all normal sized guys up against Justin, Yufei, Wei Jie, JiaHao, etc. haha. reminded me of David and Goliath. :D

ok, so i wont be talking much if u see me in person for the next few days, not until i recover from my loss of voice. cos the moment i try to say sth, i only manage a grunt of some sort. unless u wanna hear me whisper an entire conversation. haha. btw, i did that... and for some reason, ppl will just unconsiously reply you in whispers. ahha

2006-11-21T22:14:00.000+08:00

Sheet man. I feel neither here nor there...

Suo-Sdey!

2006-11-21T21:47:00.000+08:00

Chum-reap-suor! (Hello; formal)

Yay! 2 days left only! wow... gonna take a budget airline ride for the first time. (yes, i havent gone overseas in a long long long long time).
Well, also... i'll be gng to a place my family hasnt been to before. how exciting man.

After months of careful planning and, inevitably, the scrapping of plans (yup, thats the life of a prog commer'), he day is drawing so near.
Lookin forward to see the kids. haha, im gonna bribe them with sweets and balloons. =]
Praying tt all will go well, and tt the bird flu thing doesnt break out. haha

ok, LETS GO!

the 'L' factor...

Come to me and I will give you rest...

2006-11-05T23:42:00.000+08:00

Dear Heavenly Father, grant me strength to endure the things that are to come... for i am weak.
Lord Jesus, i need you... deliver me out of the miry clay.

Lord, i also ask that you be with those brethen who are going to take their major exams in the days that follow. may you keep them calm and grant them wisdom to do the paper.

i ask all this, in Jesus' name,
Amen.

Uni University

2006-10-28T21:16:00.001+08:00

NUS, NTU, SMU.. NUS, NTU, SMU...

which one would be the right choice for me? still on my journey to find out what im good at and what course i'd like to take. here's just a short list of what some of my previous ambitions were...

disclaimer: this has an uncanny resemblence to a tune of a particular song, but has no intention of to make a mockery out of it. this is purely for personal amusement. :D

there was a time i wanted to be a reknowed architect,
i really did.
there was a time, i also wanted to be a CSI,
i really did.
but then i realised, corpses were too smelly.
being an architect, is even more scary.

life science industry... pharmacy... investment banker,
makes more money.
be a pilot in air force, is just a dream..
be a dentist, then, be a head-hunter

Keeping the Dream Alive

2006-10-21T11:18:00.000+08:00

Tonight the rain is falling
Full of memories of people and places
And while the past is calling
In my fantasy I remember their faces

The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we have to try
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive

I hear myself recalling
Things you said to me
The night it all started
And still the rain is falling
Makes me feel the way
I felt when we parted

The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we have to try
No need to hide no need to run
'Cause all the answers come one by one
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive

- Freiheit Munchener

2006-10-07T01:09:00.000+08:00

Yup, PROMOS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!
=]

wonderful outing today. too bad only 13 of us were there.
chinese was ok, haha.. at least i can tell myself i knew what the passages were abt. ok, so i wasnt particularly going nuts about it being over. rather, i was more indifferent.
haha, maybe its cos im gonna have intensive CHINESE LESSONS EVERY DAY FOR THE WEEK AFT???????

well, went to watch World Trade Center today @ Cine. Cine's Lvl 9 is super nice.

WARNING: the following contains snippets of the movie... SPOILING AHEAD.

haha, nth much to spoil acutually. its just abt this guy, sarge john McLoughlin, and one of his men, will jimano. it was touching, so touching i could not help but tear when they were rescued.
tho draggy, its still worth some credit. i mean, documentaries are sometimes quite draggy too right? lol. well, ya... so the plot which is based on true events is like this...

sarge and 3 other men, 1 more joined them later, went into the concourse of the WTC towers to evacuate some civillains. but the 2nd bldg crashed and they took off for the elevator exit were only the 2 main characters survive but are crushed under rubbles and debris. finally, they are rescued, surviving by having this retired marine try a rescue search due to a calling he recieved from Him, and thinking of their wives and family.

ending was really predictable. duh. otherwise this movie wouldnt have come about, wad. lol
respect respect.

Presenting to you the EmoZ!

I love this pic. the colour, the expression. Man it rox. super emo. not so clear now tho. dunno why.
s38 are certainly filled with photo-whores.

hoon looks fatter, david found a coin on the floor, deon tries to give a "killer stare", timo really looks emo, and im looking into blank space.

The Nose Pad

2006-10-02T18:28:00.000+08:00

it was just a routine cleaning of my glasses; a trivial matter... but God taught me a lesson today. i was down in my bro's room, unscrewing the nose pad screws. (i was gonna wash the nose pads). Well, it was kinda warm and stuffy, so i decided to switch the fan on. the usual me would not have done that cos it could cause my stuff to fly here and there. thinking it would just be a quick trip to the toilet to wash the nose pads, my laziness took hold of me; i didnt switch the fan off.

and so as i came back, to my horror, one of the 2 screws was missing. i was gng like "shit, shit, shit". haha. and a frantic search for the 5 mm long screw of diameter so small you can barely take to up with ur fingers soon ensued. i rummaged the table, turnign everything upside down, but nothing worked. i thought to myself, "bah, this will take forever, its worse than finding a needle in a haystack." just as i was about to give up, i prayed (otherwise how was i to do my exams?) lol. nothing happened.

then it occurred to me to use a magnet. haha, smart me.heh. well, it was not of great help too, cos i didn even know where it would have gone towards. on the floor? on the table? vapourised?

i was dwelling too much on it. Anw, i thot, ok... its (the screw) is gone... dun think abt it.

just as i lifted up my half padded specs, my other nose pad, the one unsecured, fell off... onto the floor, and under the table... yes, i could hear the *thack* sound. den i was like... ok, can anymore worse things happen to me today? i reached in, groped around for the nose pad, but instead found a paper which had, guess what? the screw on it. i was shocked. and then i remembered. God does things in His time, but we shld expect Him to deliver, if we believe. memories of today's economics paper flashed before me, where i made a huge mistake drawing one line wrongly, in the opposite direction, which might cost me dearly. immediately i knew it was a lesson from Him. To let go and let Him... Thank God for His indelible presence and teachings.

i will let God take control of the outcomes of the papers, and i'll stand by Him as He always is with me. i do not know whehter i'll pass or not, but i will thank Him nevertheless.

a humble act of cleaning, a humbling lesson learnt.

Mugging

2006-09-27T20:04:00.000+08:00

haha, im sure many victorians and other students alike are busy mugging and cramming chim stuff into our brains now. well, the bio spa was a little of a let down but the chem one was ok. GP was haha, you know how GP is like. I have a feeling i did better for the essay this time around, but the compre was bad for me, as usual. Typically summary! haha, i didnt understand wat mr updike was talking abt. Thank you Lord for seeing me through all this, especially giving me peace when i sought You.

Promos are coming...

2006-09-18T17:43:00.000+08:00

yep, u got me... for those who are reading this now...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU SHLD BE MUGGING INTENSIVELY!!!

anw.. its that time of the yr again. malls lose precious customers, LAN shops arent earning as much as they could hve, and eateries are all losing patrons in us students. why? cos of the monster called E-X-A-M-S! put it in chin ann's words, its called "the Troubles". lol.

well ive always been fascinated by the word "mugging" for a few months now. How did it come about? or rather, how did something so harmless (studying) be associated with serious crimes?

haha... here's some stuff i got off the web...

Metal Mouth No More

2006-09-05T11:44:00.000+08:00

as most of the pple already know... my braces have been removed. That spelled the end of the 3 yr stint i had with clumps of metal in mouth. well, for about 2 wks now, my teeth has been free finally... literally free from being behind bar(s). haha. crap. ok anw... off the braces go... so what's next?

enter mr retainers. haha. and boy, it really sucks. for instance, i couldnt even talk properly once i wore em initially. even when trying to complain, i would say, "retainers slhiucks" instead of "retainers suck". haha, much to the amusement of my frens (stupid deon, haha) and to the dismay of me. i sound like daffy duck now lah. haha. well, its just 5+ months left till i can reduce my wearing to just during nights. i graciously await that...

National Day

2006-08-10T20:32:00.000+08:00

ok, so happy 41st, Singapore! i didnt watch the nat day parade yest. heard deon was momentarily featured tho. lol, tyco kia. haha. ok anw, i might watch the repeat telecast. yest was great... esp the movie "a vow to cherish". went really emo there.

oh, i got this quote from an article on today's Today.

"Sometimes you’re not sure whether athletes
want to be invincible, or take drugs because
they already believe they are."
- Rohit Brijnath

like his columns. anw, its really true u know. why do pple sacrifice their health to take performance enhancing boosters like drugs and other animals' blood?
yucks. that's something i can never fantom.

The Lake House

2006-08-08T18:33:00.000+08:00

NB: ive edited this post aft jenny's comment cos i think my phrasing was bad enough to evoke some misunderstandings. sorry.

~~after sch today... which was NOT so fun at all, i went out with my ARC friends.~~ after sch today... i went out with my ARC friends. talking about sch, i shld have ponned. haha. hoon said it was gonna be fun and stuff. well, it wasn't all THAT fun. partly because the whole event was not rehearsed (anyone could tell). and that the PA system, as usual, was bad.. bad and bad. i think the sch shld invest in a new system. otherwise they could remove the dust that i think has aggregated there for 20 yrs. haha. the parade was not entirely extravagant or anything, or maybe its because i couldnt see thru the thick crowd of pple. chin ann was part of the flag party doing the slow march.

we went all the way to Cathay cineplex cos zi hui (aka zi cai) wanted to go there. jenny was crazily hyper (really really really hyper till she had her share of random antics and nearly got banged down by a car) and eunice kept hitting the guys. pain sia. anw, khairul came late, so we had to watch the 1pm show. ate my favourite grilled chicken set meal at PS for lunch.

well, The Lake House: its kinda good i should say. i know many pple dont agree. i guess u'll only think its nice if u think its not too confusing.
initially confusing, the movie made sense to me once i realised keanu reeves was in a time 2 yrs before sandra bullock. (all along, from the trailer, i thought it was the other way around). so anyway, it is a good movie. pretty ingenious i think. considering that movies involving the past and future can be somewhat conmfusing if not irritating.

i give it a 3.5 rating (out of 5).

2006-07-31T22:39:00.000+08:00

A few days ago, amid the Floyd Landis controversy... i was flipping through my all-so-familiar Sports section of the ST. Came to a part where it said... "the paradox of cycling - it is an individual sport that requires a team to win."

the same can be said of air rifle and air pistol events. though it really seems like an individual sport... u have to depend on ur team-mates to win trophies. not counting individual medals, lah hah. haha. ultimately, its ur teammates who motivate u to train... pick u up when ure beaten.
well here's what i learnt: u still have to bear in mind tt u cant do anything to th opponents' score. its u against urself.

VJ ARC... C'mon lets go bring back some top 3 medals next yr... We'll make history! =]

college day

2006-07-29T22:05:00.000+08:00

ok, so this morning began with trng as usual.
was very happy with my performance today. shot a 8.4 sia. whoo hoo! well, mr chow was in a good mood today... kind of lah. i asked him if i could use zhen iang's pistol, and he was agreeable. however, he said tt he doesnt think the lefthanded grip can be transferred over. bah... spoiler. lol. i might try anw. my grip, the ONLY lefthanded one in the VJ range, is very very ancient. haha.

so anw... my fellow clubmates gave me a stool as my present. haha. claimed it meant "chair-man" haha. funny lah. i think its more like "stool-man". ok, tt sounds wrong. haha. green stool-man? ahha. i like the colour. too bad i didnt take photos of it yet.

went for lunch at parkway hawker ctre. den went back the college day that perhaps ended earlier than i expected.

den jason, tim soo and i went for dinner. haha. parkway's pasta mania. ONE LESSON LEARNT TODAY!!! NEVER EVER, eat the PRAWN AGLIO form pasta mania. i was conned, i say. haha. really, unless u have an acquired taste for olive oil... do not, i say, do not eat that pasta version. in the end, i used up practically all of the 3/4 filled parmesan cheese container to make my linguine taste better. but it didnt work too much. in the end, it was more torture than pleasure for me to eat the meal. lol. the garlic bread was the best thing i had during the meal., haha. i nearly puked after that, and couldnt finish the pasta, regretably. oh, we met 3 of the PA crew there. guess who was there? chin chin of course. lol. =p scandalous

Sweeter 17

2006-07-25T22:19:00.001+08:00

Actually, this post was meant for sunday morning.
Well, this whole event took place 20 mins aft i last posted.

Saturday Night...
i was talking to deon on the phone to discuss abt club matters. out of the blue, i suddenly saw something blue rushing at me through the side. (my room door was towards my right).
the next thing i know was that some strong tough guy nabbed me from behind.
i told myself.. shucks lah.. not another torture. but little did i know how gruelsome this ambush would be. i initially thot they would bring me to some pool and throw me inside.
I was given a moment of breathing space though, when they decided to let me put my pants on. (i was in my boxers, haha).
ya, but poor 'ol me couldnt escape with 6 pple surrounding me. Yu fei, kong, zhang, whee kok, eric and a few more were my captors.
down i went to the ground floor of my house. i still couldnt believe that i was actually ambushed in my own house!!!!
of course i shouted and resisted, but boy, it was to no avail.

unknown to me were these malicious people preparing the claudron.

then i was put to lie on the carpark road. but before i could recover, i sensed a horde surrounding me, with malicious intent. i tried to stand up but i guess i wasnt quick enough.. lol.
"Pssstt... Pstt" went the whipped cream cans, the coke cans, and i could even feel the fruity cereals sticking to my face. "YUCKS" i continually cried. This had got to be the worse SABO ever. worse than all the sabos i master-minded put together.

MOST gruelsome was the fish-egg-flour-water-cereal concoction which they prepared while i was oblivious to my surroundings. they had me dunked (only my head) in there for 2 secs before letting me breathe in frsh air again.

well, the rest was all fun... for the others, and fun in a way for me. i threw the leftover eggs at mt bros, eric, matt, and other pple. haha, in the end, they had to take a shower at my place. LOL.

they sang the bdae song and gav me a cake in the middle of the road. oh, and we had to clean my neighbour's car too. it kenaed fish and eggs. hahahahahah.

ok, the worst bit was the foul smelling drain i landed up with cos of the stinking fish. i had to shower 2 times and used shampoo 4 times. trust me, it was so foul u would have puked.

THEY SPENT MORE TIME CLEARING UP THAN SABOING ME. HAHA

THANKS BROS and SIS!!! U ALL WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART. =]

Part II

2006-07-22T20:41:00.000+08:00

Well, tt was the first part of my birthday... now to recap today's events...

air rifle trng...
went quite early to open the range. deon was aredi there.haha, sry bro had to make u wait. anw... chris got his long-awaited air compressed pistol. gd for him. was chided by someone in the morning cos of some club matters. no prize for guessing who. yeah, it was mr chow. hmmm, i was kinda disappointed with my shots. my tendency for stray shots is my archilles heel.

ok, on a more light note. deon and the rest of my wonderful j1 batch threw me some sort of party. they ordered 4 pizzas and even got me a choc mousse cake. amazing.

of course, what is a celebration without any fun. haha. they (sy, zihui, jenny, deon) all smeared choc on my face. the worst was when they got it on my shirt. too bad mr chow didnt want to join in. then, as i thot the excitement had died down, chris khai and eugene grabbed me from behind and carried me to the hose near the pull up bars. they claimed they had to wash my shirt for me. +_+". well, i got wet in the process. along with my jeans. fortunately, they thot i only had a shirt, no extra pants. otherwise they would have dunked me. ahhahahaha. they forgot one thing... im commodore couch potato. muahahahaha. ok, so anw... it was another memorable celebration.

1.00pm
it was the time where i arranged for the phone interview with someone for my proj work. et my team in T13. haha.. was quite an interesting exp. i felt like a radio broadcaster. like in LIVE 938. haha. overall it went well. thank God.

to my surprsie, again... my group mates bought a piece of cake for me. thanks a lot guys! my pw group rocks!

No more sweet 16

2006-07-22T19:43:00.001+08:00

they say treasure your birthdays when u are young, cos as u grow older, the celebrations become less and less special.
how true this saying is, im not certain. but im really thankful for the wonderful friends i have.

well, yesterday started out as an unusual day. (some) victorians, students and teachers alike, were clad in ethnic costumes... all in the name of fun and also to commemorate racial harmony day. i think the girls were donning indian costumes for covenience. bet as soon as dimissal came, they just took off the saris, and there... all ready to go out. just kidding. =]

Maths Lecture...
was sitting next to john. i thot i could escape being dunked but was subdued by him aftr lecture.
well john, next year... 2nd jan, ure going in again. Ok, so i tried to do a "captain jack sparrow" but it didnt work. my frame was just not big enough to hold fast.
With john arm-locking my hands... i couldnt move.
then deon came in with the apple. think the video i was part of, "Life 180". haha. the next thing tt happened was the birthday song. was touched. awww.. hha. den the songkok boy, none other than jason hoon... handed me my present. deon said, "go ahead, open it up lah".
i open it slowly. bit by bit, i tore the wrapper, only to find another piece of the Newpaper as an inner layer. most fascinating was tt almost all of them showed the miss sg universe on it. now i know what hoon reads. haha. i tried figuring out what it was. thot it was a pen.

i was pleasantly surprised when i saw tt what was inside was a pizza hut watch. ahha. its was hilarious to the rest im sure. i was a little shocked. then i thot... haha, i think this must be a prank. cos the lcd display was spoilt . haha.

no one would have expected the next thing. the guys got gang banged me. i was taken all the way to the fountain. worse still, when i was ready to be dunked... they suspended me in the air just above the srface of the water to pose for a picture. lol. oh, and they were smart... they took my extra clothes and hid it in david's locker. i think rach was the photographer.
thanks to those who cleaned up the mess of newspaper. i tried to splash the dirty fountain water at the rest but i think tim only got a minimal amount. hoon got hugged by me. hahahahhaha. john, u were lucky i was running after u in my wet socks. otherwise u would have gotten a hug too. oh, the VP caught me aft i was dunked and with a um-cheo face... said, "get changed now, otherwise u'll get sick"

they made me wear the "watch that doesnt point the right time"

after chem tut, i was greeted with a pleasant surprise. deon revealed tt the whole act was a prank to fool me. haha. then we gave me the fossil watch. i was taken aback. i expected something nice lah, but i didnt expect a fossil cos its really ex i reckon. really. THANK YOU 38s! U KICKASS.
LOVE U GUYS! =]

NB: this is a warning to those whose bdaes are approaching. if u feel u are in danger of being dunked... pls pls pls... wear ur dirtiest uniform. mine kena-ed algae. yucks. lol.

i just realised that the "funny quote of the day" on the top of my blog ain't the least bit funny. Even enen (queen of all cold jokes) is more entertaining than that. i'll do sth about it. haha

Half Class Outing

2006-07-01T22:59:00.000+08:00

yesterday, half the class turned out for class outing.

so after our Hua Wen Kao Shi, jason, wing, meifang, david and john made their way down to Takashimaya. deon and i joined them cos i had to open the range for beertini.

anw... it was quite interesting eating at Pepper Lunch. but honestly, i dun think my "Hitokuchi" Cut Steak was as nice as the grilled beef set of whatever its called. lol. the pic above is contributed by jason's Ixus 600. esther joined us just to look at us eat! ahha..

ok, so aft tt... we headed down to cineleisure... hoping watch a movie. I met chia, cheo & gang there and stopped to chat for a while. Den tim joined us. the girls pang seh-ed again cos they wanted to buy a prezzie for Sharon. in the end only 4 of us, david.jason.tim and i watched Chao Ji Ren Zai Qi. was draggy but overall i give it 3.5 stars.

but before the show, we had an hour to kill. so we went walking around. the girls went to the neo-print shop. haha. the guys plotted to suprise them and disrupt on of their pictures.
with the cameras ready, jason jumped into the kiosk and the girls screamed. lol. den some smart guy decided to push john onto me and i onto tim. lol... tim is ur conscience clear? heh.=p
anw, john and i got stuck in the entrance in the process and i hurt. *ouch*

ok, so we have some footage of that. Out of the most jack-ass things ive done, that has to be one of the funniest.

k, i gtg now... happy birthday David!

Why Argentina Lost

2006-07-01T21:53:00.000+08:00

It wasnt because Germany were the better side; Argentina made too many errors.

First, Abbondanzieri got kneed in an aerial challenge with Miroslav Klose. The injury proved too much for him and the No.1 was brought off. Enter Leonardo Franco. Tall as he may be, you could see that his confidence was shaky.

The ever-so-impressive Juan Pablo Sorin was outstanding for 79 minutes; combing with Tevez to threaten the German defence and managing to contain David Odonkor. But his concentration lapse in the mid-79th minute turned costly as he did not mark Klose "klose-ly" enough.

Jose Pekerman got his tactics wrong this time. Barely clinging to their 1-0 lead, his substitution of Cambiasso for Riquelme was undestandable. However, why did he bring on Julio Cruz for Crespo instead of the more on-form Saviola?

Penalty kicks soon loomed and Argentina knew almost all was lost.

Yesterday...

2006-07-01T21:29:00.000+08:00

ok, so i was supposed to blog yest aft a long lay-off cos of mugging or the mid-years.
well, was kinda tough for all the papers, i shld say... but i'll remain optimistic and my faith rests in God.

Mon (Bio, then GP)
Tues (Chem)
Wed (Econs)
Thurs (Maths)
Fri (Chinese)

in Maris Stella, i would gripe about sweating like crazy (cos i was always directly below those angled mist-fans). well now, in VJ, with the aircon on, i kept "snuffling" (haha, i like to use this) through the entire duration of the papers. i guess the ARC jackets will be put to good use during the Promos period. heh. gd investment. =]
3hrs/paper.. now that's a mental torture. haha. i was so tempted to go to the latrine but i just had to contain the bodily fluids inside cos time was indeed precious.

perhaps the axons and dendrons in my hand were not working properly... but my hand was not tired from writing... nor my wrist. haha. i dunno why.

Now this chapter of my first experience of Block tests are over, i rest everything into the care of my beloved Father.

to the rest still having exams, all the best and His grace is sufficient! =]

Mini-Comp

2006-06-13T16:47:00.000+08:00

yay... had mini comp this morning. there were 9 of us shooting. Well, im so happy with my performance. reached my goal of ~8.0. yay!!!!! but i know i could have been much better... if not for my 4th series. shot a 68 there. started off very well... my first 3 series hitting 86, 82, 82. den the slump came. 68! +_+" den i hit my personal best 86 again and then a 77. still lost by 0.1 to chris tho. grrrr... haha. ARC rocks! go ARC! jia you... train harder.

Courtesy

2006-06-03T21:15:00.000+08:00

kinda disappointed this morning.
was supposed to have PT and games this morn... but no one turned up. there was only chris, and he was sick btw. anw, im kinda disappointed at the fact tt some pple din reply that they wont be coming. to those who did, thank you. for those who didnt, just wished you'd have told me earlier. would have saved my time. lotsa things to do u know. it wouldn't kill to spare an sms to inform others. your $0.05 would have spared me the long trip to sch and back again.

oh ya, pls pls pls... use the TELERELAY. if u break the chain, the pple aft u will NOT get the msg.

well, enough abt tt... in the end, chris and i waited for kelly to come down cos she had the key to the range. we changed plans to train instead. in the end, i had a mini-comp with chris. haha, kinda cool... not much pressure, but shld have used up more of the time left. i hit a 7.33, chris had 7.4. i screwed up 1 series badly. oh well...

We can organise things, but if u dont make an effort to attend... its wasted. It takes 2 hands to clap....

Ohhh... oh-wo-ho-oh... VJ boleh... VJ boleh

2006-05-25T23:52:00.000+08:00

disclaimer: the match report might not sound objective as the reporter supports one of the team.

it was a evening when mass support really mattered. utterly sensational. boisterous activity coming from the stands of Stade de Jalan Besar... chants of "VJ-VJC" (X1000,000) were erupting from the South Gate all the way to the middle block of seats.

yes, it was a truly exhilarating evening for Victorians as the VJC soccer boys team pulled of one of the greatest "Houdini" stunts in the 'A' Division Inter-school Soccer Finals. Critics (esp those at the north gate =P) would disagree and call our soccer boys 'Tyco-sh**s', others of neutral support would call the team the 'Comeback Kings'... but i say they are truly the 'Untouchables', at least for this season. boasting an unbeaten record i believe, the VJ soccer team went into the finals with a point to prove. having failed to retain the title last season, losing on penalties, they managed to inflict heartbreak to the MJC faithful this year. in the process, they also produced one of the most exciting soccer matches ive seen... second only to the awe-amazing 5-1 fightback from Arsenal against Inter Milan in a Champions League match at the end of 2003.
well, i really applaud the players on both sides for their 'never-say-die' spirit and for putting up a show that, i my opinion, might have caused an unfamiliar shaven-head mr tan to have a heart attack.

here are the match highlights:

the match started off with a bang... with both sides having their fair share of chances. VJC had i think 2 golden opportunities in the first 20 mins of the game... their defence was NOT GOOD... although No. 8 and 13 were the effective rocks of defence. it was clear that MJ was relying on us to slip up and catch us on the counter-attack.

No. 35 of MJ was kinda skillful. but i didn't like his attitude. we kept tugging and pulling the shirts and pants of the VJ players at the crotch area at times. Lol.
then came somewhere ~20mins... one MJ midfielder sent a long ball thru to the No. 33 that shattered the defence. giving credit to Meridien, No.33 was speedy and is full of pace... causing the most nuisance to the VJ backline. so he pounced upon the opportunity by running past 3/4 of the backline to go one-on-one with the 'keeper and stabbed the ball sideways into the back of the net. it sent the Victorians in the stands moaning in grief. Personally, i thought it would be hard to win if the formation didn't tighten.
1-0 to MJC.

for the next 20 mins or so, it was all just missed opportunities for both sides. But VJ missed more of their chances as they failed to convert from the set pieces and corners they were often winning. MJ had more supporters, but the Victorians definitely pwnzed them in cheering. i felt myself going zao sia by this time. Nikhil was onz sia.
Halftime: 1-0 MJC.

as we were discussing during the break, deon, chin and i predicted that MJC would just play the ball around and defend their precious advantage; boring football in other words. then the red shirts were trying to lead more cheers, to no avail for a while. We ended up singing the Victorian Anthem to uplift the hearts of the VJ players. It was a magical crux of the match. from then on, the match never went the same.

the whistle blew. MJC was looking to defend their goal. their efforts, however, were not enough to contain the attacking football VJ played for long. on came No. 21 of VJ for some other tired player. he was the Henrik Larsson of the game. 10 mins into the second half, he lobbed the ball high up in the air. To me, it seemed like it he intended to, but was just trying his luck at goal. It paid off. with 10% skill and 90% tyconess, the MJ keeper fumbled and failed to hold on to the ball. the goal-bound lob sailed straight into the top left of the goal. By this time, i felt that we were going to draw and possibly win on penalties.
Both teams tied 1-1.

it wouldnt have taken a blind man to sense that VJ was regaining confidence. shots were missed, but at least they attempted. Rezwan (no. 19), with his surging runs down the flank, was working tirelessly to provide opportunities. Most impressive was Keefe, No. 5... the captain. the skipper was combatant on midfield, winning most of his tackles and stealing possesion from the opponents. However, another lapse in conc of the defence caused No. 33 of MJ to again poach a well-taken goal that beat the VJC No.1 at his near post.
MJC 2-1.

many might have thought we lost it all by then, as there was only ~15 mins left to play. all MJ had to do was to play the ball around. it didn't happen. the Victorian mass support group cheered on, and didnt wane. i guess all of them, like me, were cheering our lungs out for, if not for the team, the prospect of a FULL DAY OFF if we posted a win.

there was a right corner to be taken by VJ at around this time. a cross was swung in to the mass of players aggregated in front of the MJ goal. i didnt really get to see who headed, but it was definitely goal-bound. then some MJ player, i think No. 2, cleverly (or foolishly, u decide) delibrately handled the ball. this meant that goal would not be awarded but the player would see RED and a penalty would be awarded to VJ. Keefe was to step up and take it. He ran up, struck the ball, but it was saved by the MJ custodian. i was gripping my seat, gnashing my teeth in dismay.
still 2-1 to MJ.

with 8 mins left to play, VJ earned another set piece. (i forgot whether it was a corner or not). there was a goal-mouth scramble and someone slotted home from close range to pull VJ level. it sent the entire South Gate roaring with cheers and "whoo-hoo"s.
Both teams tied at 2-2.

within the next 2mins, captain keefe was unleashed down the flank by a throughball from someone. he skipped into the box, faked a defender and passed it out to another player from which he blasted the ball into the net. touch of class like that of thierry henry, i say.
VJ leads 3-2.

within another 3 mins, another opportunity came. this was from a counter attack produced after MJ failed to capitalise on a corner. No. 7 was unleashed, giving him a chance of a 1-on-1 with the MJ keeper, with 1 defender trailing close behind. amid the pressure, he calmly took the ball around the on-rushing keeper and did a twist before stabbing the ball for a last-grasp goal. typical Samuel Eto'o style.
VJ 4-2.

MJ saw the title slip from their hands in 5 mins. like arsenal did in paris last wk. But really, it was a pulsating must-see match that totally pwned the Barca-Arsenal Champions League final last wk. Victorians left Jalan Besar in a high, leaving the dejected Meridiens to rue what might have been.

well, i will definitely book the front row seats again next yr. mrs chan, if u happen to read this... im eargerly waiting for my full-day off!

One Nil to Arsenal, Two One to Barcelona (the first part might be confusing to non-soccer fans due to jargon used =] )

2006-05-18T20:49:00.000+08:00

yeah, uve probably known by now that tho arsenal fought hard... barca ended up taking the Champions League trophy home. Sinking in disappointment, coupled by the fact that the heroes of Highbury lost it all inside 4 mins tho they fought a great fight, arsenal could not help but leave Stade de France on a solemn note as they face the prospect of losing their MVP and talisman in captain, thierry henry. Nevertheless, i think my heroes did a fantastic job and it was worth waking up and watching the match with my father while trying my hardest to battle my sagging, droopy eyes. Lehmann made a terrible mistake, but Almunia rose to the occasion and nearly held off all the attempts on goal by the Catalan giants. Ljungberg was inspirational with his surging runs and the Back 4 were giving one of their finest performances. Sol Campbell battled mental and physical problems to steal the thunder with his first strike in his Champs League campaigns. However, kudos to Barca. they had to fight hard and they eventually shattered arsenal's confidence. Giuly, Eto'o, Iniesta, Deco, Ronaldinho were all in fine form.

Busy week, this has been. Totally how amazing God had sustained me throughout. Really. So today didnt exactly start on a high note for me. I also had to wake up early intending to make a morning assembly announcement. but mr tan said he'd do it. sian. ok, haha... well... the floorball response has been great, 40 pple showed interest. Too bad im not allowed to play. kinda disappointed but it'll sink in. you can akin it to missing out on a sports Final due to injury at the last moment. sigh. its once in a lifetime i could get to compete in A div summore.

But VJ just broke SAJC's winning streak. Our soccer boys beat em 2-0 in the semi's with around half the players as second-stringers. Yay! also, i heard the hockey boys beat SA 1-0 to also send them through to the final.

Let's wait for Friday, the Soccer Finals... im eagerly awaiting FULL-DAY OFF! =p

Make Me a Stranger

2006-05-08T23:52:00.000+08:00

make me a stranger on earth, dear Saviour,
make me a stranger more like Thee.
Help me keep my focus on heavenly treasures,
and not on earthly, may it be.

Lord, lead me onward as a pilgrim
Bound for heaven never to roam
make me a stranger on earth dear Saviour,
Till i see my heavenly home.

Lord ive found myself loving earthly treasures,
simple pleasures taking your place.
Nothing can measure to heavenly treasures:
Hearing, "Well done," and seeing Your face.

Lord, lead me onward as a pilgrim
Bound for heaven never to roam
make me a stranger on earth dear Saviour,
Till i see my heavenly home.

Mission GPP: Completed

2006-05-08T23:35:00.000+08:00

yay... finally finished the GPP! phew. anw.. in case u cant see... my group is dispersed in terms of distance and convienience. ya, i admit its very inconvienient to look for places to meet... but heck, i still love my group. rocks. btw, this is not a post of me griping about this.
rather, i wanna encourage those other groups to sort out their problems. =] if my group can solve a trivial problem... so can u.

The Big Day

2006-05-03T21:01:00.000+08:00

yup, the big day came... exco elections... i think it went ok for all of us lah... just awaiting the day of the results.

why do i always worry so much?
its not like its gonna cost me a bunch.
why do i always become paraniod,
when i already know hat's a trapezoid.
why do i always dwell into self-pity,
when i reflect on the nitty-gritty.
why do i bother to ponder on how i fared,
when the Lord asked for all our cares.

ok, that was a lil random... budding poet in the making... ahha...

I can't think of any title...

2006-04-26T23:08:00.000+08:00

ok... so yest, the pw groups were released. im contented with my group... heh. they consist of (by alphabetical order):

esther - maybe we can pick up some MOMENTUM from her bike? ahhaa... lame
john - ponstar with innovative ideas
tiffany - can share the tcm ideas. lol
sin hwee - can build on the ideas

and of course, me!
i suppose my grp is ok lah.. only gripe is that we live in areas spread apart lah!!! ahha, but i guess it shldnt be too much of a prob.

well... today... the interview. was quite terok. was grilled by mr chow. now im grilled and roasted. argh, the more i think abt it, the more paranoid i get. well, i only ask for God's will.

Just Another Day

2006-04-19T21:37:00.001+08:00

http://onnachance.com/quiz/fae.htm

im an elf! yay! i like elves, i think they are so cool lah. very sleek and agile. imagine me as legolas... haha

yep, it was just another day at school. tests, tutorials, lectures, cca... all what school is defined as. was kinda disappointed cos our J1 mini-comp in CEDANS (haha, did i spell it correctly? =p) was cancelled as the focus for this month in the ARC was the positioning and intensive practice. anw, wasnt that big of a deal. so the lecture test was fairly "do-able". there were some tough questions, ya, but there were relatively easy ones too. just pray i'd pass. matt long sprained or twisted his left pinky while playing capts ball. haha.. very corny. my braces cut my lips when daniel threw the ball and his my face. haha. oh well... ahmad was mad.

Sports Day and Fish & Co.

2006-04-14T00:12:00.000+08:00

today was awesome. we had only 2hrs 20 mins of lessons to attend to. lets fast forward a bit to 1.30 pm today... argh, so much to blog my eyes feel like closing.
1.30pm....
we reported at the hall , as obedient as always... only to find out that we had to go straight to the track (i have a strong inclination it was a scam to make us go to the hall). anw... so we arrived at the track... the Lynx area was very small cos Phoenix, confined to the end of the grandstand,
decided to move nearer the middle. so 06S38 ended up on the floor. not that im complaining... we had a good view of the race in fact.
first up was the mascot race. phoenix came in first but their mascot wasnt exactly a mascot, as u can see from the picture. so they were disqualified. lynx came in 2nd... whoo hoo!
the cheer leading was ok i guess... aquilla and pegasus were the best, i think... but i dont like the aquilla outfits. heh. lynx did a good job.
amanda came in a respectable 8th... haha, im not sacarstic here... to be in the finals, u must be of some standard, leh. haha. really sry amanda, i didnt get a pic of u running cos i took the pic at the wrong moment. meaning... i took the pic, and there u zoomed past aft 3secs. ahha. sry. =p
then came the intermission...
the guys, and jia hao, decided to trick the mascot. we told him to take a "pic" (my cam was set to vid mode then) with us. so we posed and then at the count of 3, brought him to the ground and taupoked him.. hhaha, ouch... it was hilarious.!!!!!!!!!!!! too bad i cant up/l the footage.
then we decided to taupok the pegasus mascot, the horse with abs! haha... jason and tim thought that the person was actually thier guy fren... haha... den tim started puching the mascot lightly! a horse punching a horse! hahahahahhahaha... we did the same trick on the horse with abs! this time, we successfully managed to bring it down, but as we were ready for the tau pok, 2 pegasus gals said "stop it, stop it, its a girl!". we were all shocked lah.. hahahahahahha... imagine if we had gone in for the taupok... fortunately it didnt happen. still, it was an embarrassing but sheepish mistake.
then the caterpillar race came... i took part and guess what? we were last... but had great fun slowly strolling (even that is a word not slow enough... hmmm... caterpillaring instead?). we did the "shamless" chants too... haha, mr chow got so fussed up cos we took our time. we even posed at the 50m mark for a photo. haha
overall i think the lynx gals did well... but i was surprised that they didnt win the Girls' champion for the house. sigh.... aquilla still leads... by a lot this time....

so i rushed down to meet my fellow [surf]2 -ers at wheelock. we went to fish&Co. instead of nydc. was a very pleasant meal and great fellowship. kevin fell for the exothermic reaction trick... hehehhehehe...

V for Victory

2006-04-06T21:09:00.000+08:00

yes, two of the teams i support ended up victorious - in style. Arsenal drew with Juventus early this morning in Turin. that meant tt they would feature in the semis cos they progress 2-0 on aggregate. was wanting to support my beloved club... but decided to sleep on cos had a tiring day ahead of me. well, kinda sad cos just read tt Pires is moving to Villireal, arsenals' next opponents on the Champs League.
VJC soccer team beat MI 2-1. it was raining just before the match, so i thot they would postpone for the 3rd time. haha... but it didnt. well, congrats to the yellows, or watever we are called.

Rain Rain Go Away

2006-04-04T20:12:00.000+08:00

Haha. i guess i do look like a seahorse... to a certain degree.
anw... let me summarise the events of the typically LONG Day at school - Tuesday..
hmmm... i got back the chinese test.. boy, i wasnt surprised to see red marks filling the page. sheesh. thats bad... i failed, yet again.
2 more subjs and it'll be one clean sheet for me. haiz. tests all coming up soon... they just keep poping up one after another.. at least i noe they are beneficial....
Aft lessons, stayed back for javelin. was tired... matthew too. but we just stayed on for a while. then we were told tt it was cancelled... Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... +_+".
haha, so we ended up just practicing throwing the javelin. my throws were low tho. nth compared to the trackers there. scary. jason was the funniest. on his first throw, the end of the jav hit the back of his head. OUCH! haha. yes, i can imagine.
so i'll see how i fare on fri. Enzymes, the topic is. k, gtg digest some work now. haha

April Fools' Day

2006-04-01T00:43:00.000+08:00

first it was econs. then bio. then chem. add the chinese test (havent received it yet) and it'll spell my failing streak in topical tests. lest u think this is a blatant attempt at making ab april fools' joke... im telling u it is true. i have only not failed gp and maths. yes, im sad... not really proud of it... but i guess i'll have to try harder next time, esp with midyrs coming up in a few mths =].

oh, today's morning assembly was interesting. evan said the pledge in tamil, the CO and strings played an unco-ordinated anthem, and we heard an awful but entertaining rendition of the college anthem. haha. all in the name of fun.
ok, that's all for now... have to go for rifle (or rather pistol) training ltr... byebye

oh, lost 2 is super cool... uve gotta watch it! catch it on 5!

Joke Of The Day

2006-03-30T22:01:00.000+08:00

what's the joke of the day? haha... me. heh. was kinda 'suay' today. let's flashback events of today (and yest).
yest...
during chem lecture, i was chosen to ans the lecturer's qn. so random... and it had to be me. haha. today...
we had pe aft chem lecture, we had pe... i was all ready for pe and just as we were about to start, mr seet pointed out to me tt i wore the vj pe shorts the wrong way. haha. was embarrassed.... couldnt help but give a sheepish smile and speed off to the toilet to change. then during pe, when playing floorball, i accidentally fell down... on the astro turf! i thot nothing of the graze, till the blood plasma kept spewing out... ok, im exaggerating. so jason accompanied me to the pe dept. mr seet sprayed this super cool thingy on my knee. the spray was supposed to harden on ur wound aft a while to protect it.... but i guess my knee cap hair was too thick that it stopped much of that white spray from penetrating the blanket of hair. the result? my hair on the knee cap turned white... was disgusting, i tell u... the pain was undescribable... even excruciating would be considered an euphemism... lol

ok, will update more soon, i gtg.... watch LOST!!!!!!!

Miracles Do Happen

2006-03-25T17:31:00.000+08:00

elson got into SAJC! wow... truly the work of God! Amazing miracle... really happy for him.

Shushan should be in hawaii by now.

ok, so i went for the NTU H3 Biotech talk today. phew, fortunately we could fit into the bus. really thankful for mrs teo who let me go despite not signing up. haha. tiffany and i we the only 38s who went. we cramped into the coach all the way to NTU in jurong. first was the talk on biotech and some attempt by the asst dean to advertise the life science courses they offer. not tt im complaining... i was interested (o_O), esp bout the doub degree in biomed and TCM...
guess what. my interest was aroused till she said tt we had to do the TCM exams in chinese. tt totally eliminated me from that course. haha, i dunt think im proficient enuff in chinese to take it up. i joined bobo and prakesh (dunno how to spell, =p) from 06S32 when we toured the facility.
as usual, we were joking around. the refreshments were good, esp the kebab =D. the trip was enriching, but i still dont know if i want go into tt line. on the way home, i sat with prakesh. haha. hes a joker lah. we were sharing about life in npcc and other stuff. ahahahahaahahahahhahah. we laughed all the way.

so i realised i cant make it as a shot put thrower. was psychoed by jason to join sports day events. so a couple of days ago, noticing that there were only 12 pple in both shot put and javelin then, i decided to give it a shot (pun intended) haha. I ACTUALLY CLINGED ON HOPE THAT I'D BE AT LEAST 8th. haha. guess it was a wrong move. i turned up today at the far end of the field at 5+++pm. to my shock, i was swarmed by guy victorians, IPs included. here comes the funny part. i read on the net the previous day about the techniques in shot put. thot it looked really professional. so i taught matt, jason, kheng hua, imran (the guy who ran for SC with the green smiley) and daniel (the beefy sji guy) what i learnt. heh. we thot it would work. then came my turn. as soon as i got down to the starting stance, i didnt feel it was gonna be a good throw. hehe, the shot was a whooping 12 lbs!! i dunno how jason managed esp with his *krack* knee. i flung the mass of metal of watever that was in the air and *plump*, it failed to even meet the B division min mark. HAHA. we burst out laughing. and i think i aggravated my right thigh too much. lesson learnt. we shouldnt just blindly follow things straight from the internet. i can vouch for that. anw... we were just there for fun lah... we were the 5 lynx + 1 ursa jokers down there
laughing our butts off every now and then. anw. thats the spirit all the lynxes cats should have - SHAMELESS! hmmm... we'll see what happens on thurs during javelin. if all goes well, jason only owes me 1.5 hrs! oh, w got our proj work tasks today. wierd topics, i should say. argh, chinese test tmr...

Really funny... couldnt stop laughing. resulted in many NGs. Bloopers, bloopers, bloopers. hehe, the lemon thing was really funny... ok, shant reveal too much. so as march hols 2006 draws to a close, i declare that i havent finished my hmwrk. haha. argh! must perservere to finish em by tues.
