it's been a memorable cny this year. visiting frens is so much fun! oh man, jus reminds me of the stuff i'm missing out all this while. guess u treasure frens more when u dont see them ofteh i suppose.

thinking is bad eh? but i've been thinking so much lately, and i think it's all worth it. =)

uncertain feb

2008-02-05T00:02:00.001+08:00

feb is, well, uncertain. u don't know what moves should be made, and whether they are even right, and what to expect from them. it's just a messy month of decisions. maybe it'll all go well. ah, hope u get it. maybe something will work out :)

'cause this is real, and this is good. it warms the inside just like it should.

thinking is good.

2008-01-27T13:49:00.000+08:00

oh gosh i havent been here in ages. but i guess the absence is good. good for thinking and all. there's too much to say, really.

ah, nj ips in tj semis really meant alot to me. the very same ppl whom we trained as much as we cld during those difficult times of having no coach. yes, those difficult times. wow, and it paid off..miraculously. thanks for believing in urselves!

and the MAS essay. ah, that good feeling ;)

i guess saturday was a true reflection of our abilities. we threw all we had against vj, which was unfortunately nt enough, and had a pretty tough time against the swing team. i gotta admit that those may not have been the best of our performances, having lost due to style and strategy to vj, but i believe we did enough to justify our place in the nxt rnd. results will be out on monday, so we're jus praying for the best ;)

VJ, JJ spars

2006-06-17T11:32:00.000+08:00

it has really been a hectic spar schedule these days, with surprising changes to our team's line-up and all. heh more later =)

june

2006-06-13T11:43:00.000+08:00

heyy hahas still away but nonetheless it doesnt stop me from blogging =p

its really been a hectic june hols, albeit it was spent on all the wrong areas, instead of the real mugging which everyone tries to indulge in. wahahas. OMG. wah how? hmms.

for NJ debate, its really glad to know that we're approaching our peak, and that we've worked well as a team. it kinda bugs me to know that the time left is so short for us to improve, yet with the will and determination, impossible is nothing =) we've had a few good spars thus far, against the likes of Cat High, RJC, HCI, NYJC, ACSib, TJC...the list is probably endless. The next few are gonna be testing, especially the one against VJC, who have broke for everey single comp. they were in (oh ya maybe except NTU). We proved much to everyone else i guess. the only pressing matter is to finalise our team's consistency and line-up, hopefully before JCDCS. Heh. Nonetheless we can only get better =)

hahas it was a great friday on 9th june. 4-6 ppl still rock as always! =D the gathering at mrs tan's hse brought back loads of memories, especially when everyone still appears to be slacking and nt taking things seriously =) wahahas. darn, i really missed the times when we neednt mug as hard as nw, when we had tad minimal amt of hmwk (yet seldom completed aniwaes). yeah..its been fun to know abt where everyone's studying, the tons of rumours (haha bet some r true though =p), and hw so may haf actually changed ccas and all. yay! was a GREAT day! =)

and jus the other day i met ben downtown and i realised hw little help other ppl frm other jcs are gettin for their work too. its really an uphill struggle, considering the fact that we dont even haf proper tys to begin with, at least nt for all subs. everyone ends up trying to get resources but no one is really sure of wad to get and hw much to gt, so its all very aimless. then he reminded me that yes we are the pioneer batch and hence this mess. agreed. cos we cant use past tys and guidebooks given that we dont know hw much the new syllabus has evolved. its damn frustrating =/ i guess its the point when we really have to depend on ourselves to gt wadeva materials we need. =/

jjc

2006-05-07T13:20:00.000+08:00

I think it sounds kinda ironic how we keep thinking how we stand a decent chance for us to win something for Nj debates. And im sure that'll happen sometime this year. However, this delay is starting to worry me nonetheless. The tension is building up no doubt, and the pressure to deliver. The 2 wins at brit council and the marginal loss against acjc at jjc invits were a somewhat good sign that we're on the right track. But i guess we'll just have to live with it and see what happens next. We'll prove it all. At AC invits/

When good isnt enough/

Peer mentoring back at cat high kinda rocks after all =) I mean lets face it. A break from JC life certainly does a lot in relieving ur senses. And back at cat high u cant help but feel this sense of peace and calmness in which no other place can provide. Its that welcoming atmosphere that really brings back recollections of the days when stress was never really there. When u could get away by doin very little work. heh. And helping the sec4s (yea the 2 fantastic and hyper cat highers!) with their last min mugging gave us the opportunity to impart some nonsensical (but useful!) studying techniques. hahas =)

march hols

2006-03-14T14:23:00.000+08:00

heh..been doin a lot of thinkin of late...

First and foremost will be havin a total new class (06S16)...and ya i do miss the fun ppl in 06S05. In the end all of us goin to diff JC s and diff classes...and we need to adapt all over again. Its nt realli abt adapting though..its jus abt losin touch with my class..yea

And then theres the NTU debates. Gosh we shld haf broke cld we have done better. in the first rd against DBS, we were caught off guard by the parliamentary style..then against TP we needed to adapt to M'sia...i guess the 2 wins against SRJC and HCI were more of a consolation ...heh. Aniwaes we learnt frm it i guess ...

Cat high went all out to clinch 1st spot...realli remarkable havin defeated NJip, ACSI and MGS...then doin the "GONG JIAO! TRIPLE KILL !" cheer =p (lets jus win JGs altogether =p) The ips were short of luck i guess, given that we cld haf won HCI and RGS =/ Aniwaes gd job =D

10 Feb: Headed to Plaza Sing for lunch..then headed to cat high. And the shocker of it all: I gt L1R5: 6pts!! Gosh...oh man this was kinda hard to believe, considering that cat high did very poorly this year (i guess we're gonna be Band3 liao) and there were abt 40 pupils only who gt 6 A1s or more. and my class is 4-6 lah...nt even triple science or higher chinese..ahahas. Was kinda relief that it turned out well...ya so stayin in NJ le. Then gt Gedeon gt 10 A1s, Yun Le gt 9A1s..Yingjie and Choon Boon and Yen Shan and Furen gt 8A1s..so pro...but ya last yr they wont even announce 8 A1s lor...still rmb the fantastic results of 2004...

Hmms then all debaters frm Nj staying in NJ! Tads cool! And i kinda felt silly for wanting to consider joining the likes of RJ, HCI and Vj..hehe =p

In any case we did 2 cases in a week abt media giving love a bad name and child labour. And i have START UP SINGAPORE proposal too. =p

JGs rd1

2006-02-11T10:06:00.000+08:00

The day of JGs Round 1 ..wad a crucial rnd for all schools considering that it represents S'pore's most prestigious debate comp. for sec schs. And its NJip vs. Cat High..hmms

So Kristiano went on to get BEST SPEAKER which he truly deserved and Bryan Chan did a fantastic job which was truly best speaker quality. Im damn proud of Cat High lah..their opp case almost flawless and the team literally improved by a lot since last yr's JGs. Despite the more decent case launched by the NJ ips, I guess it was too imba in the end. 4 main flaws: lack of egs, lack of sufficient depth in case, lack of justification and lack of depth of rebuttals. So GONG JIAO went on to win the first rnd which was frnkly speaking the easiest fixture available. And given that both teams didnt win the first rnd last time rnd at JGs, I guess its the perfect start after all...

Hmms which kinda reminds me...westwood sec has gotta be the most isolated school ever. In the end Jasmine and Margaret and I wasted much time (and money, sorry guys=x) on takin countless buses to gt to our destination. Must look up bus guide nxt time le..hahas. Glad did we made it on time eventually though =D

NJ debate

2006-02-05T11:32:00.000+08:00

Its one of those days when things jus didnt go our way all along. Recalling the debates at SRJC seems like a total nightmare. Or like a fairytale gone completely wrong. Nonetheless, we'll take it in our stride. Failures only make us stronger =)

We had tough draws to begin with, against the likes of HCI, ACJC and IJTP, with all fielding vastly experienced debaters like Charmaine, Leigh-Anne, Christine, Alessa, Val Goh (hmms seems like i've named 3 IJTP debaters!).

I think Lady Luck wasnt by our side and this whole experience kinda sucks at the end of the day. I guess we didnt quite agree with the adjudication but having said that, the results are nt everything. We did our best our best against those overwhelming odds, and NJ debaters sure did us proud with their cases and confidence. The team roxx! Yeps. That's the potential threat which other teams will have to contend with. Msg sent! =D

Cat high and VJ too suffered under the clutches of WSDC. Oh man!!! Cldnt quite believe that these 2 potential finalist teams had to contend with the ultimate powerhouse of debates. Oh well...at least Cat High picked up 2 wins against ACJC and CJ. Great job guys! *thumbs up* Wish u guys luck at JGs!!!

Having said that, i guess many life lessons were learned today =)

Carling cup

2006-01-25T16:09:00.000+08:00

If Wigan can do it, I have absolutely no qualms abt the much more established Red Devils. Given the AWAY GOALS ruling, all Man U needs to pull off is a mere draw having scored a goal in the 1-1 draw on 11 Jan against Blackburn Rovers at the semis. They cant concede any if they wanna make the job much easier and frankly speaking, despite the earlier 2-0 loss in the EPL in this same encounter, I'd say root for United. They got what it takes and yes its the best they can do havin had a dismay season.

Probable Line-up: Sar, Nev, Fer, Vidic, Evra, Giggs, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Smith, Rossi, Saha

4-6

2006-01-22T22:00:00.000+08:00

For all 4-6 ppl reading my blog, do take note that we'll be heading back to Cat High on 27 Jan. Best to come before noon. If u wanna meet up it can be arranged too. For more updates, visit http://groups.msn.com/class46

Gong Jiao has gotta be the coolest school in a long time. With my entry into NJC, i now realise how much i've missed those fond memories of cat high. The events over the past 4 yrs have undoubtedly left an indelible mark in my memory - the 4-6 gang, the 2-5 ppl, the fun ppl in debates as well as those frens whom i've made along the way. Yea. Still, we may have the chance to meet occasionally but its nvr the same feeling again.

4-6 BBQ gathering at Wee Beng's hse was truly memorable. Despite the fact that it was held in the afternoon and hence quite "off", i guess the fact that we were gathering for 1 last time as a class at least for 2005 with Mrs Anna Tan made the whole experience seemed special. Then we had the street soccer game and stuff..hahas. Jus wanna say that 4-6, u roxxx!!

Nj has thus far been a great place to be, with the friendly ppl and all. OG 19 was second to none. =) Honestly, i never had such a great OG grp b4 in my entire life. The OGLs were, to say the least, fantastic. They helped us made integration into the NJ environment so smooth. *Thumbs Up* The OGLS rock la! =D so are my OG ppl - Joe, See Kai, Sheila, Samantha, Catrin, Carmen, Jialin, Eng Ping, Emile, Thomas, Alvin, Sherry, Fadhli, Jason, Chee Sheng, Li Ming, Shawn...hahas U GUYS ROX! For those whom i will continue to have classes with nxt yr, i believe it'll be a great yr ahead! ahahas.

Nj likes to keep its orienatation programme at a slow pace, with the story of Stalia Estrellas unfounding bit by bit each day. The mass dance was kept till Friday, and a whole lot of other exciting activities were goin to take place only nxt wk. Meanwhile, we had the famous "mock lessons" *yeps since everyone in other Jcs haf heard of it which were supposed to give us an insight into the courses which we wld be takin. Then the fun and somewhat silly Og games, "Truth or dare" *yea St nicks ppl are cool lar! and Og outings at Macs and Marina Square... =D

OK so we've new classes altogether. 06S05 is gonna be the next cool thing in my life at NJ after OG19 i guess. Yeps. Provided I stay in NJ =x

Interesting fact abt Nj:
Amidst the mugging environment, they do actually haf fellowship grps like this one:

Lucky Gunners. Lol. They pulled off one of the most magnificent great escape of all times by gettin a 2-2 draw after extra time when Doncaster shld have realli punished arsenal for sending a second-string side. I mean, let's face it. That was Arsenal's last attempt and Gilberto barely managed to scrape it thru. Then on penalties, Arsenal broke. WTH. Doncaster, for all their dogged determination and being able to capitalise on chances, didnt make it unfortunately. The successes of Wigan and West Ham has made me believe in miracles. In that the ball is round after all and there lies the chance for small teams to succeed. Yet none of this fairytale materialised. Wigan shld punish the Gunners in the semis if a second-string Arsenal side comes firin again.

J8

2005-12-20T23:34:00.000+08:00

kk so i've been a little too slack these days coupled with the fact that i owe u guys way too many blog entries. btw the previous one's crap ;)

First and foremost, i am indeed proud of the United side which beat wigan and then aston villa consecutively and yes, goals are comin in plentifully for the red devils. Somehow i still feel that w.out smith the team wont be held back so much and wld start to score.Schmeichel was right in sayin that Park and Ronaldo and Ferdinand are nt long-term solutions. Something needs to be done in the jan transfer window. Seriously.

Went to J8 last tues with weilie and watched HP: Goblet of fire. May be a little too late to catch it but i didnt wanna miss it at all costs. Great movie, but the plot was ultra condensed till the story was too simplified and somewhat pointless at some points. Credits to effects though..its a job well done..better than the last 3 HP movies. Btw the question that has been constantly buggin me: Is emma watson realli that hot??!!

Campus superstar last 20 selection took place on that veri same day. Met renjie+his mom supportin his 4 frens of which 2 made it into the knockout rds (samuel tan and another gal). Talked abt superstar competitions and blah blah blah..then renjie mentioned that one of the youngest had to be a 13-yr old gal in brown uniform. Weilie noticed her but for some unforseen reasons, felt that the gal was givin him that *wth* look and he interpreted as though she was glarin at him for supposedly gossipin abt her. And then implicate me -_- I know this sounds strange but believe me...i wldnt believe it either. Neither wld Tim. Neither wld anyone in the right mind honestly.

So those 10 guys and gals who made it through were called out on stage and yes, for some unforseen reason again, weilie constantly bombarded me with chants of "Avoid the cameras!" and "Stay at the back!" o.O
Lol. Cant recall which schs made it thru but already sian that gong jiao recorded none. Shld be IJTP, TKGS, NJC, ... *forgot liao*

Havin said that, weekend was mainly spent downtown @ Orchard Rd buying stuff and at Marriott for a retreat.

Finally, the lyrics to accompany Lindsay's latest video =)

Confessions of a broken heart
Lindsay Lohan
A little more personal

I wait for the postman to bring me a letter
and I wait for the good Lord to make me feel better
As I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders
A family in crisis that only grows older
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go
Why'd you have to go

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am broken but I am hopin'
Daughter to father, daughter to father
I am crying, a part of me is dying and
and These are, these are the confessions of a broken heart

And I wear all your old clothes, your polo sweater
I dream of another you
The one who would never never
Leave me alone to pick up the pieces
A daddy to hold me, that's what I needed
So why'd you have to go Why'd you have to go Why'd you have to go!! Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth, did you ever love me
Cause these are, these are the confessions of a broken heart, of a broken heart

I love you, I love you I love you I....!!!!! I love you!!

Daughter to father, daughter to father
I don't know you, but I still want to
Daughter to father, daughter to father
Tell me the truth... Did you ever love me!!!? Did you ever love me?
These are..... The confessions...of a broken heart
Ohhh....yeah I wait for the postman to bring me a letter..

man u vs wigan

2005-12-15T00:27:00.000+08:00

i'll be bloggin tmr abt goin to j8 on wed + weilie's random ramblings + renjie supporting his campus SS frens + Harry Potter and goblet of fire.. ;)

For now, Man U must get past Wigan who recorded losses against powerhouses Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. Richardson may nt get his place in the England line-up but who cares? He cant even justify gettin into the man u first team yet he wants to compete with Defoe, etc. Ridiculous. If they have a decent line up with home support then i guess all gonna's go smoothly.

New book

2005-12-10T10:35:00.000+08:00

I have tried reading new genres these daes but with little success. 2 books which i have intended to start with are:

The curious incident of the dog in the night-time - Mark Haddon

OK so this book is kinda like some real-life account of a guy with a logical and simplistic mind. Kinda like literature too. Nt my type but will try though..

Crush Depth - Joe Buff

Set in world war situation with submarine attacks being the core of the plot or sth like tad. A series of world evenrs, military action...well 've nvr quite read anything like tad..

And for the 5 random/fun facts thing which i'm suppose to do, i guess i'll leave it till nxt wk cos i'll be away/busy again durin the wkends. Till then, i guess i'll have to think of wad stuff to write so u guys keep a look-out for it k. ;)

AS for the entry abt IJ ppl which i've promised b4 the Os but have yet failed to fulfill, i guess i may nvr have the chance to write it cos i lost the article havin left it aside for far too long. Askin IJ frens wld be too troublesome. Actually all i wanted was to quote the sayings/views of IJ gals lah and put it up to show how Catholic High, a supposedly tightly-bonded catholic family, pales in comparison to our sister school. Lol. But it's true and if u question why i simply dun haf the answer.

MAN U

2005-12-09T12:42:00.000+08:00

For all those who dun watch soccer as in the Champions League or EPL or support Man Utd, you may skip this entry which may be of no interest to you at all :D

I have finally consolidated all my thoughts on why Man Utd feeps failing in succession, the latest being the horrendous defeat in the hands of Benifca, which saw them being thrown out of Europe altogether. I have always wanted to write this entry but shelved the idea until the Benfica match became the trigger factor which prompted me to pen it down NOW.

Below is the pdf file with regards to what I immensely felt led to their decline. U guys may disagree on some aspects but if so do drop me a tag or sth so i can improve on it ;) Send me ur views ppl!

Man Utd

MAN U

2005-12-08T21:46:00.000+08:00

Depressing. Realli depressing. Man U just lost it. It is at this juncture that i intensely feel that sth must be done. I'm gonna do an in-depth analysis of the chaos of it all in my next entry.

man u

2005-12-07T20:27:00.000+08:00

oh man...let's jus pray for a miracle to happen in like 7 hrs' time. Man Utd desperately need to qualify to knock-out stages of the Champions League, not merely for the prize money though its a fantastic bonus but more importantly for the prestige of it all. Against Benfica, it's definitely gonna be do or die. Oh crap...its not like such an uphill task rite? ...Jus prayin tad man utd gets pass this whole mess asap :[

Vjs

2005-12-05T17:37:00.000+08:00

Sometimes things jus go against ur way. I cant explain it realli, havin all 3 GONG JIAO debaters enterin the top 10 best speakers of the tournament yet ironically nt gettin our hands on the trophy. Yet another semi-final doesnt look gd at all. At the end of the day, we still gotta live with it.

VJCs

2005-11-26T19:20:00.000+08:00

The debate team of present holds much promise. Yes, they did defeat RI and SNGS in VJCS and they were indeed hard earned wins, though the loss against ACS(I) was somewhat unfortunate given they delibrately gave a crappy set up. Oh well...
Despite many dismissin gong jiao in the semi-finals as merely another one-off thing and would therefore expect the same kinda results like last year, i doubt this is the case. We beat RI once. We'll jus do it again ;)

Tze Kai yet puts up another spectacular display in VJCs and he rightly deserves the best speaker recognition. Ya i wont stock his ego XD but he does already prove to many that he's indispensable to the team's success. VJCs is hell important and well it does seem like the trophy will land in our cabinet without a shadow of doubt. It all depend on nxt Sat now. The wheel is in motion... ...

Oh well, the cat high team did haf a realtively good spar against ijtp...perhaps its the turnin point in the fortunes of cat high at long last. Perhaps it signifies we'll go the longer distance at the end of the day.
Yes it's my first time *i think* watchin tze kai in aciton and boy he does hold a lot of promise for the future. He's a great debater and comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo of Man Utd. ;)

Hols

2005-11-21T15:17:00.000+08:00

Oh well, its kinda wrong to blog during O lvls rite..? Hahas ;)

Well i just cant see how some ppl can actually enjoy takin o levels leh...in my opinion its just mental strain and one hell of a roller-coaster ride.
It seems as though i'm realli gonna give up humanities altogether :/ we'll see..

And ya for all those who detests angst-filled pop/rock music, let me remind u guys that the music industry needs that extra X factor, that element of unpredictability...and i'm sure u'll see how it all fits in nicely ;)

Man U's shock win against Chelsea still does not promises much for the future...hhaiz.. But its still an improvement rite? Maybe hypnosis can help them achieve..hey maybe i should try it too ^D^

OK so after Os plannin to watch Doom, harry potter: goblet of fire, Exorcism of emily rose, and a whole lot of other movies :D

This is realli depressin news. Mau Utd, once again, repeated their string of unforgivable errors in one of the most embarrassing away defeats to Middlesborough. Man U, yes i admit, is never the great side they once were when they dominated Europe and the like. Instead, now they are relegated to the same level as mediocre sides such as Charlton. Wigan are now hailed second behind Chelsea, a feat Sir Alex Ferguson wants to emulate no doubt.

I admit. The players sux big time. They have some of the world's best talents in Rooney, v.Nistelrooy, Ferdinand and emerging stars such as Rossi. Yet, this talent pool seems to mean nth much anymore in the EPL scene. Wigan did beat Fulham, but that's through sheer hard work. Paul Jewell ensured his team dominated every department on the field such that Fulham couldnt realli counter attack when they had chances. U just nvr saw them stop wkin...this attitude is totally unlike that of Man Utd's and sadly to say, maybe a complete change in team tactics and even the players seems inevitable. GIve some credit to West Ham too despite the loss against Liverpool...they are still a credible force to reckon with.

Ballack, should he have arrived from Bayern Munich, wld have given the much needed boost to midfield. A natural winger like Duff would have provided more width to the team's play. And please dont blame injuries for your side's streak of bad results..cos Man U ARE a world - class team anyway!

Proposed Line-up: van der Sar, Pascal Chimbonda, Henchoz, Silvestre, O'shea, Richardson, Miller, Eagles, Ronaldo, Rooney, Rossi. (But arent they frm Wigan?) Ya, so? Just go get 'em!

These daes it seems as though everyone is jus plain muggin at every possible venue. Aim: to get past that last final hurdle of their secondary school education. Honestly, it kinda creeps me out and considering my half-hearted efforts thus far...though on my part i did at least tried to mug a little @ Amk Library wif jem tiong, joo siong and eric, but one must also consider the effectiveness of such grp discussions..Hahas..sighs.

Geo was not that helpful given that pang once again went thru MCQ qns instead of gettin down to the real business of structured qns...hw r we gonna gt that much needed A1??!! And I arrived late yet again but ya she didnt mind so i guess its ok rite.

Mr P gt my compo in the morning and yes, i'm realli hopin he can get it marked and all b4 wed..a little too demanding i guess but wth..Os are jus around the corner and i still doubt i can produce a decent plot 4 my narrative. I would veri much appreciate it ya.

Then there's humanities. No one mugging for geo...nor for ss or history. Guess there's jus too much memory wk to do for these 3 humanities and mostly ppl are doin qns here and there without knowing if thet actually are doin the right things all along...Yep that's a cause for concern.

Julius and Yu Guang and even Bryan goin to VJ liao...They dont sem to mind the long travellin time involved but still parents can fetch them so it shldnt be a worry for them...IT IS FOR ME>
Wah they keep urging me to go VJ and yea, i like Vj but considerin practicality and all, it is realli worth it? For jus 2 yrs of education? Aniwaes will be aimin for NJ and maybe*jus maybe AJ as of yet =D

Prelim

2005-10-14T22:39:00.000+08:00

A cool 7 points for prelims...Couldnt haf asked for more=) Its great to get on such a fantastic
start.
Mrs Anna Tan also seems to be the best teacher I haf ever had in a long, long time=) Hahas.

I 'll be considering VJC and AJC and maybe NJC as yet.

This week is draggin for like extremely long...results gettin back one at a time then not even sure of weightages of it all...haiz.
So far got some improve in chem, a maths and ss but the rest is jus the maintained or even worse...some far much worse than expected.
For those who are heading to AJC, bet i will be seeing u there nxt yr =D

Music

2005-10-01T12:38:00.000+08:00

Been hearing tons of music..guess its jus cause i'm in the mod =D
Aniwaes i'm now addicted to the catchy and funky tunes of Gorillaz, with hits like Feel Good Inc. and Dare being my favs for as long as when they were first released. Their album, Demon Days is equally spectacular. In my opinion, this is their best album yet, so do expect DARE to stay on my blog for quite a while, cos i doubt any other song can match up to it as yet=)

Our Lady Peace has also impressed me with Somewhere Out There, together with All American Rejects' Dirty Little Secrets and to a certain extent Hilary Duff's Wake Up. Bon Jovi remains cool wif Have A Nice Dae and James Blunt's You're Beautiful is a must-hear. Btw he remains rooted to No.1 in Chart Attack as expected.

Prelims 2 finally ended at long last. A break at least, though however short it might be. Tired and sianz once more but i'll remain optimistic=)

Band 1

2005-09-24T14:33:00.000+08:00

It seems we're officially one of the greatest school in s'pore this year and honestly, the feelin of being in a BAND 1 school is nonetheless cool..lol. Guess it was even kinda a shocker we've achieved so much in this short span of time w.out even realisin rite..and in the EV interview nxt wk we gotta glorify this institution even more to bring it to greater heights =)

So gone are the daes whereby St Nicks, SCGS and Methodist Girls dominated...here comes GONG JIAO, Cedar girls, Victoria and Anglican poised to retain top spots for the years to come XD. Hopefully Gong Jiao will also be dominating the debate scene too. I BELIEVE WE CAN. That'll be great.
Cheers everybody

School

2005-09-20T19:57:00.000+08:00

School life these days is becomin more and more sianz..the 7-8 am lessons jus dun seem to help us academically at all lol...yet claimed to be the first school in s'pore to implement tis scheme...as if it's so great. I would think otherwise. In conclusion, mrs pang's geo lessons gotta be the most boring and unproductive, goin thru all those basic stuff and such.

Ok, I'll quit compainin abt lessons. CMC realli frustrates me as they now do nt credit me wif cca pts for my 2 yrs of cintribution, likewise for students' council (2003). What the heck man! And i thought cmc was an official student leaders board.. :/

Then there's the hopeless Man U team presently. Other than V.D. Sar, Rooney and v.Nistelrooy, the others' simply haf no class whatsoever. Richardson is too inexperienced, even as LB; Ferdinand and Silvestre committing foolish errors in defence; O'shea is nt G.Nev; Fletcher cant cross; Giggs and Scholes wearing out; Park is less explosive; Keane faked his injury and Ronaldo cant pull off the strings single-handedly. Hiaz..can they truimph once more? Only time will tell.

Man U

2005-09-17T21:11:00.000+08:00

Now to blog abt my fav EPL club - Man Utd. Despite a draw and wins since the season started, the future looks bleak.

It seems like the Red Devils are seriously goin thru a crisis of sum sort..with the away draw to Villareal summing it all. When they had countless chances to break the deadlock, they were seen to be squanderin away those precious chances instead...haiz. Now, they merely rank second in the group which they can actually collect maximum pts frm all matches (vs Benifica, Lillie..). Then, Rooney's foolish "clapping" in front of referee seriously cnt be tolerated and the red card only drives in more worry in the already-depleted strike force...

The aftermath saw worse news. Heinze is almost certainly ruled out for the most of this season, in addition to already-injured Keane, G neville, Brown, Fortune, Saha and Solskjaer. That leaves onli van Nistelrooy in attack and hardly any solid defenders. The newbies -Richardson, Miller- are hardly reliable and Richardson as LB is simply no-no.

The next time u see the Red Devils in action, expect the followin probale line-up: Van der Sar, Bardsley, Silvestre, Ferdinand, O'shea, Richardson, Park, Smith, Ronaldo, Scholes, v Nistelrooy.

sheer class no doubt+

2005-09-12T22:16:00.000+08:00

So hols are over and back to books yet again :/ Its all seems like a realli short break and honestly, nth significant achieved thus far. In spite of that, the most eventful thing that happened could be my short stay @ Four Seasons Hotel..gotta agree that their services were explemplary, very personalised and commendable. It was simply satisfying=) No wonder they surpassed Raffles Hotel and Ritz-Carlton Millenia to be ranked 11th in the whole of Asia.

Was at the Forum on Sat when i met Kim*she's the teen star frm kids central=)and co. staging a show for young kids there...and a lot of ppl turned up lor...Hahas:)She realli looks gd in person no doubt :p

Back to school during hols

2005-09-08T23:01:00.000+08:00

I guess the only way tat i'm gonna gt the motivation to start mugging for prelim 2 is to gt back to school...and so i did for the past 3 daes and man, it was hectic, so much so tat i'm nt doin so until sch officially starts nxt wk yet again=) *hahas i'm such a slacker lol. Those 3 daes were rather eventful though..and fruitful too=) Also, jus started my blog tis mondae and haf been wking on it since..quite time-consuming but i dun mind e wk :p

Mondae: Went back to school to do sum maths since mrs anna tan was around. Jem tiong, boon teck, zhe ming, giam, gene also went back but basically veri little wk done. Then walked all the way to J8 frm pri sch gate to haf lunch at food junction havin decided tat hawkerway veri sianz- hahas veri wu liao hor- then talked a lot of crap and joked around.

Tuesdae: As usual went back though late tis time, did sum revision, blasted Avril's hits frm both "under my skin" and "let go" frm class spkrs, then revisited cat high pri section. Went wif twl to chapel and saw that it hasnt changed since my time there. Many classrms haf though, including library. Then, we met tis skillful artist who painted the SAF planes in the pri side as well as wking on wall-painting of pics as depicted on the banners in sec side..veri pei fu his magnificent skills. Headed to j8..zhe ming went back first while weilie and i went to J8. Met up wif bao hui who spotted the media and being media-friendly, went up to them..Hahas..dunno why he so enthusiastic in such stuff while weilie and i just shunned the media as much as possible=) Browsed thru cds at sembanwang where we talked abt hillsongs, piano cds, chi hits...etc. Still cant figure out hw bao hui gt access to such media hapenings all the time...hmms *ponders

Wed: Shared classrm frm 4-7 but todae almost nvr do anything at all..hahas..guess i'm too slack liao. Lacked motivation altogether :p Aft revision went to play basketball wif zhe ming and jem tiong at basketball court till 5.45pm..Zhe Ming and I basically jus practise shooting at various points on the court - 3 pointer, 6 pointer..Wah..seems like i need to brush up my b.ball skills liao if nt cnt make it..aniwaes i seldom play b.ball unlike zhe ming and tiong..XD

Anione noes hw i can upload music larger than 2 MB do tag!
