Happy New Year!!!

My computer is fixed!
And I did it myself!

Forums are god
I went to a couple of forums and read threads regarding the same problem.
Most of the solutions given were similar
I went to try it and...
Voila!

All I did was re-seat the graphic card.
piece of cake :)

2 days of OGL Workshop were pretty fun.
Oh oh oh.
We tried out some oreintation games and I'll never forget "Pass it on"
Its obvious that we have to pass something on.
And since its orientation, you can easily guess that we have to do it with our mouth
Clever.
But you can never guess what's that something.
I tell you.
Its a fucking piece of waffle biscuit!
HAHAHAHA
I can't wait to see how the J1s will react to that.

Recently, I've been watching downloaded movies on the LCD TV by connecting it to my sister's lappy.
Well, this is pretty cool :)
DOTA!

I'm too lazy to go out to count down with Eugene, duck and co.
Just wanna avoid the crowd.
Sorry guys.

I'll be counting down to 2008 at home :(
Sad.

Anyway, I wish everyone a very
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all :)

I'm currently blogging with my psp

Because

My 5 year old computer died on Christmas day

Haiz...

16 Dec Masters

The last leg of the Masters Series 2007...
We Fucked Up

Disppointing...

Never mind what Mr Lee said.
You know he made perfect sense
but I guess he was too harsh.
Whatever it is, that is the hard fact.

All of us will only come back stronger
I hope...

Life's been good :)

An update!

I know 2 weeks have passed since
but yes.
I took part in the Standard Chartered Marathon 2007
And I completed my first Half Marathon !!
Met my target of finishing under 2 hours :)
Clocked 1hr 58mins.

My sister was crazy
She did Full Marathon with barely any training
and she did good with a timing of 5hr 20mins.

My mum did 10km :)


Life's been good.
Mum and Dad gave me a surprise
They bought a SONY 40" LCD TV complete with a home theater system and a DVD recorder
woots
I'm lovin' it

I'm no longer a secret mugger
because I'm declaring now that I've been trying to complete my homework for the past few days
damn sian.

I want to go out but i'm worried that I do not have time to complete my work.
Now that I'm left with Chem and Econs, I'm more relieved.
Somebody, please ask me out.

I was supposed to go out with Duck today.
but I told him last night that I did not feel like going out.
yes, reason being I wanted to complete my Bio Essays today.
Sorry bro.

I wanna play Dota
but I'll get damn sian when I get owned
Cause I suck.

I'm getting pretty excited for the last race of the Masters Series 2007
We're up against NTUC, NJC, RP and Okinawa in our heats
Its gonna be tight
I'm feeling quite confident for my team though
I don't know.
But I have a good feeling about this one.


SAH!

Update

Training has stepped up.
At least 5 times a week.
3 weeks left to our last Masters.

Aim for the grand finals.

At the rate that we are training,
I believe we can do it


This blog is as good as dead.

We want to win

Just saw the draw for the River Regatta
Our opponents for the heats are not easy
Its gonna be tough

Past few trainings were not bad though.
We managed to clocked pretty decent timings
Mr Hee said that we stand a good chance to win if we row like that.
I really hope its true.

All the heats will be on Saturday, 3 Nov.
Semis and Finals will be on Sunday, 4 Nov.

My team's goal?
To row another day
I know we stand a chance
Consistency and composure is what we need

I'm hungry for glory.

Tmr's training will be crucial.
We need the confidence.

Jiayou NYDB!!

For those who are looking for something to do during the weekends.
Come on down to the Singapore River and catch some dragonboat races.!
It'll last the whole day.

Most improved student award :)

We received our promos results slip today
Before that, there was a principal's talk in the hall.
In his usual poor english, He went through our results and told us what we should expect and do next
and gave out the 20 honour roll awards and 15 most improved student awards

And yes!
I'm one of the 15 awarded for most improved student!
Oh man, it was totally unexpected!
It was also great to see 2 other dragonboaters receiving the award
YAY!

Got back my results slip and fortunately, I'm allowed to continue doing 4 H2.
Anyway, I'm intending to downgrade either H2 Bio or Econs.
Spoke to Mrs Boo and she advised me that since I cannot decide on which one to drop, I should continue doing 4 H2 and see how it goes next year.
Good idea

Btw, Masters on last Sunday was terrible.
Our timings improved tremendously....... due to the water condition.
But looking at the results, It was bad.
There are many reasons that I can think of to explain our performance
but fuck it.
I know my team is capable of better results.
Forget about it.
River Regatta is next.

Starting this week, we'll be training everyday.
Jia you!

Bad news
I'm addicted to DOTA
DOTA is currently the IN thing in my dragonboat team
LOL

PW?

Omg...
hanlim just told me this online and I thought it's damn funny!
He calls PW
Prison work!!!

Funny right?!

Oh oh, I know Zheng Hui's going to kill me for this but....
He calls PW
Pair work!!!
LOL

And over the weekend, his one and only group member was admitted into hospital
And for a few days.
PW is Peerless work??
LOL

okok.
I feel him.

0716 Chalet

Went to my class chalet yesterday night.
didn't stay over though

BBQ food is unhealthy so I met up with the other dragonboaters first to have dinner at White Sands food court.
But I still ate some BBQ food at the chalet

Anyway, chalet was great fun!
I had a good time camwhoring :)
Played cards, cycled and ate cake

0716!!
I love this picture
Zhenghui tried to act tall by standing on the chair
And i managed to jump from behind :)

(Pictures taken from Pearlyn's blog..)

Damn it, woke up this morning and have flu liao.

Promos results!

I got back all of my promotional examinations results on Friday.
We were kept in the hall and the different subject departments took turns to give out the papers
one after the other.

And overall...
I'm really happy with my promos results.

General Paper - C
H2 Maths - A
H2 Economics - C
H2 Chemistry - B
H2 Biology - S
H1 Chinese - E

Promos make up 60%,
mid-yrs 15%
CA 25%

I just hope that my mid-yr results of C,D,E,S,U,U doesn't affect my promos results too much.

Bio really sucked
Only one class passed on average.
Biology is not worth it.
Its a subject which everyone puts in ALOT of time and effort to study and gets crappy results.
It suck.

I'm really happy for my Maths and Chem.

Anyway, it just feels good that all your effort in the last several weeks before promos has not gone wasted.

Welcome to J2 :)

BYE ARNOLD

Finally, Arnold is gone
The weakest and the least committed guy is finally gone.
He is the worst guy I've ever met.
Trust me.

He talks like the team owe him
But he doesn't even know that the TEAM wanted him out for many months already
Our first attempt to kick him out failed.

Mr Lee gave him a chance and when we asked him why didn't he turn up for evaluation
His answer :"I'm not ready"
What the fuck.

And now, when we finally got the green light to kick him out.
He says he wanted to quit.
HELLO?!
If you wanted to quit, you should have returned us your BaiLong to us 1000 years ago.
You're not making sense, you fucktard.

And he could say things like
"time for you to eat my shit"
Then I think its also time for my team of 24 guys and 19 girls to shove their shit right into your bloody mouth.

you're the most BHB guy I've ever seen and will ever see.

you said we didn't give you respect?
and you talk like we need to respect you first before you respect us.
True
But let me tell you the inverse you retard.
You got to respect the team first before expecting to be respected
you idiot.
what are you?
Carrier of 3 chromosome 21?
I bet you have got Klinefelter's syndrome

You are 100 times weaker than my grandpa
and my grandpa is already dead.

you're so horrible and irritating that you can easily piss a guy off
and the guy is actually dumb, blind and deaf

Come and eat 43 people's shit

My first Dota experience :)

Went to play lan on Saturday after training
11 of us started with playing counter-strike before Elvis got really bored and persuaded everyone to play Dota
I was relunctant but I agreed
I was the noobest noob
but Elvis was really patient with me
He bought all the stuff for me and taught me

And man!
I loved it.
5 vs 5 was really fun
I was playing humji throughout, I stayed behind my team mates
and ran like hell when I see any enemy heroes.

I wanna play again
but I don't think I'm addicted - yet

Today and tomorrow are supposed to be marking days
but NYJC's idea of marking days are actually "Independent learning days"
We had to go to school today for career seminar shit
and we were expected/encouraged to do up our PW during these days.

Project Work is a pain in the arse.
I really do not, never will and don't want to see the purpose of it.

Btw, NYJC Open House on 12 October 2007!!!
2-5 pm
Please come!
Especially secondary 4 students!!!

Oh well, I doubt any sec 4 students actually come to my blog :(
Anyway, NYJC is an excellent junior college!!!

Promos over

Yay!
promotional exams are over!

but I'm still left with Project work and A'level Chinese.
Both are a waste of time.

Project Work is the second dumbest thing I've done, after SPA.

Right now, I wanna just stroll along the streets in town, slack, chill and shop.
It've been a long time since I did that.

My dad is urging me to go to the dentist.
My last visit to the dentist was more than a year ago...
I feel like it but I'm fucking scared.
going to the dentist is TOP of my fear list.

The blog is alive!

Yes!
My blog is alive!

Promos is somewhat over...
I'm left with Chem and Bio paper 1 on wednesday and thursday.
Bio paper 2 yesterday suck.

Overall, I can't say I'm confident to promote.
I did my best... (I think)
I really hope I'll be promoted.

Oh well, we will get all our papers back on next Friday morning.
NYJC open house in the following afternoon.
My friends and I were crapping and we thought of a possible scenerio on Friday
Since we'll roughly know whether we get promoted or retained on Friday.
then druing the open house, all those who most probably will get retained will form up at all the entrances to the college and discourage all from coming to JC.
LOL

When I was in secondary school
when my sister told me that one of her close friend retained
I was like "HUH?! Wah so BAD ah?"
And now, I've realised, it's not difficult to retain
not a big deal.

Next thing to worry after promos is not PW nor Chinese.
Its dragonboat!
We've got Masters in 3 weeks time and Regatta in 5 weeks time
Very little time to get our physical and rowing fitness back.
But it's possible
Jia you!

I took a huge step to regain my running fitness
ran to yishun mrt and back yesterday evening.
BAD choice.
My legs are damn nua now.
Stupid,
didn't I in 17 years,
going on 18:)
heard of progressive training?!

They same I'm D³
Not Disciplined Diligent Derek
But Dumb Dumb Derek

I'm fine :)

Yup, I'm feeling muuuccchh better now.
thanks to all who have shown concern.
I spoke to my Dad last night and he really taught me some valuable values as a leader.
I've managed to sort things out.
so that's good.

It's sunshine after a storm
Yu Guo Tian Qing
oh btw, I had my A'level chinese oral on monday and I have to say I'm pretty confident of my performance.
I think I did good but when I say that, I don't mean 'good relative to others'.
my mandarin standard is far away from the others.
yep.

Endurance training today was not bad.
there was definitely an improvement
so guys, jia you!
our masters is only 5 weeks from now!

alright, here's another HolyHo's production! :)
this video just simply sums up my mood =)

ok, Dragonboat is a very competitive sports.
I have a competitive team.
just watch.

Trash Talk 2

Trash talk today was a disaster for me.

Alright, let's face the fact.
The fact is that our team is weak.
Mr Hee said that himself
and I totally agree.
some of the girls are even stronger than some of the guys.

Besides being weak, there're alot of problems within the team as well.
The seniors and the J1 excos felt that there is a need to address the issues once and for all.
That was why there was a trash talk session today.

Let me tell you what we excos kinda planned to do during the trash talk.
We all agreed on shooting those whom we think needed to improve, be it their attitude or fitness.
After xue wei did his little introduction and Ikhtia lectured the team a little bit.
It was my turn to speak.
I stood up and started shooting Terence regarding his attitude.
There was no doubt that there was a problem with his attitude but I admit I had gone a little too far.
I didn't approach it well.
I lost myself.
So at this very moment.
I would like to apologise for my rashness.
I'm sorry for shouting at the team and especially at Terence.
My bad.
SORRY

Anyway, I would like to explain my bit.
Alright, after recieving the vice-captain post.
my seniors gave me plenty of advices.
They urged the excos to step up early and take control.
and they also told me that out of the excos, definitely one will bound to be the "bad" one.
Today, I did tried and be firm.
And judging from the team's comments, I guess I stepped over the limit.
And through out the rest of the session, I could see Brandon was serious when he spoke but I just felt the he was holding himself back.
And I thought Xue Wei was being a little too nice.
Overall, I was just Damn disappointed with the session.
Because people whom I expected to speak up didn't.
Moreover, my idea of a trash talk was different from the majority of them.
but I mean, its not called TRASH TALK for nothing.
And half of the team didn't even say a single word.

Some of them commented about the way excos do things.
I'll just pick a few and say my piece.

1. They felt that we were acting too authoritative and acting "big".
This is it.
From Day 1 when I was appointed the vice-captain.
That was the top of my worry list.
I was afraid of stepping up for fear that they would label me as "acting big".
So it did come true.
Let me tell you this, the only leadership position that I remembered holding was a mere chairperson during sec 1.
And since then, I had that fear.
I might have gone too far today when I stepped up for the first time.
but I'm sure this is a good beginning for the times to come.
I hope so.

2. You guys complained that we should have informed you guys that we were going to do 100 push-ups after gym training last week.
but my point is this.
The push-ups that we made you guys did was a punishment.
training and punishment are 2 seperate issues altogether.
Do you remember the seniors pumped us after a rowing session?
Did they inform us that we're going to be punished after a tiring rowing session?
And did you guys complain to them for not informing you guys in advance?
Think about it.

At the end of the talk, you guys changed the subject and started discussing about forming a dragonboat study group.
Yes, it's a great idea.
and i'm not saying that studies aren't important
but discussing it during TRASH TALK??!!
WTF!

Alright, the talk today is screwed and I fucked up.
And that'll be the very last trash talk we gonna have because it doesn't work on our team.

After what happened today, some of you might hate me a little
Although I did cross the line, I didn't regret being firm.
You can hate me for now.
But I hope that you guys will see the rationale behind it someday.
I may not be a good vice-capt, but I'm trying to.
And I appeal for your support.

This past week has been tough.
Bad results.
Tiring Leadership Training Camp
And I really fucked myself up today.

Especially after today, I feel so fucking fucked up.
I mean... It just didn't go my way.
It was really difficult for me to scold Terence.
He's my friend afterall and because of his attitude during trainings I had to do what I did.
Otherwise, who will?
Why would I want to make enemies?!
I could have sat there and keep quiet.
Its just not me
This is the first time I scolded somebody so badly.
I'm not that kind of person.
I'm feeling really lost right now.
I need somebody to talk to
I wanna talk to my sister but she just left tonight for genting and won't be back until 4 days later.
My life sucks right now.
I didn't know I was so weak emotionally.
FUCK IT!

Untitled

Hey eugene and weilun
I would love to join u guys on saturday but unfortunately I'm going for a leadership training camp.
friday to monday.
I really miss u guys.
It sounds wrong but whatever.
We seriously need to catch up with one another someday :)

Alright, a quick update before I continue packing my barang barang
Took part in Singapore DragonBoat Festival last week.
unlike Masters and Nationals, it was 800m races..
I'll skip the results
but I know all of us did good in one way or another
however, we too know that we need to buck up if we want to contend for a medal next year.
guys and girls work hard!

I've gotten back my maths and chemistry papers
44% for chemistry, that's a S
54.5% for maths, that's a D
I'm not smiling, neither am I crying.
I know I'm capable of better results
but looking at the effort that I put into this mid-yrs
I don't deserve anything better.

I don't blame dragonboat for my bad results, and will never.
It was totally my fault
This was the first time that I took an examination so lightly.
I just couldn't focus on my studies during the June holidays.
Yes, I need to change my attitude
And I swear I would.

From now till next year,
it's the period to bust my ass in the gym and on the track to get my fitness level up.
I have plans
and my intensive training starts now.
DB-ers, if you're reading this
I would strongly encourage you guys to come up with a goal and a personal training plan that is beyond our official trainings.
We have ALOT to be done
Jia You!

So with Studies and Trainings
The inevitable thought of closing this blog did cross my mind.
Anyway, I've decided not to close it.
I would just update it as much as I can :)

If you want to row,
TRAIN.
If you want to win,
TRAIN HARDER.

STUDY HARD
TRAIN HARDER

NYDB

Mid-yrs

I'm still sick :(
I seriously think that I'm actually Mummy-sick
I fell sick the day after my Mum left
So based on my little theory, I should recover tomorrow when she returns.
I really hope so...

Mid year exams huh?
Oh man, I'm just not prepared for it
Maths and Chem are over

On both days,
when I stepped out of my house, I had this strange feeling that I've forgotten to bring something
and on both days,
I realised what was that something only when the paper started.
I realised...
I forgot my brain

It was the first time that after a maths paper, I'm hoping for only a pass...
I never felt so lost after a maths paper
Alright, this is A'level H2 Maths huh?
Oh man, I need help
Jie, did you hear me?
I need help
I don't know how you can help
but I know I need help
Help!

All my papers are in the afternoon except for Biology on Thursday
How suay!
My mum is coming back on Wednesday midnight
this means I can't pick her up at the airport :(

And btw, Biology is my shortest paper at 1.5 hour
Its this short probably because the teachers know that the more they give, the more we don't know
so why waste their time marking answers that are there for the sake of being there
And because it has only 20 MCQs, 4 structured and 1 essay
I feel less motivated in studying all the chapters in detailed
so I guess the O'level humanities studying method kicks in
yup, select chapters...

watcha think?
biomolecules?
respirations?
photosynthesis?

this is bad
I've to change my current attitude on studies
I need to focus!

National Schools' Dragon Boat Championship 2007

The Nationals was on Saturday

Here's the brief outline of our races (500m)
we had 3 10 crew boats..
the top 3 teams from each heats enters the final
heat 1: we got 4th, losing out by just 0.2 seconds..
heat 2: one boat got 3rd while the other boat got 6th..
final: we got 5th...

The girls got 2nd for both 20-crew and 10-crew.

20-crew men:
we had 2 boats
1 senior 1 junior
1st- NJC
2nd- ACJC
3rd- seniors
4th- juniors
5th- TPJC

I rowed in the junior boat:)
Was I disappointed not to have rowed in the senior boat and get the bronze medal?
I would be lying if I said no.
I mean, I've been rowing in the senior boat for most of the trainings and even rowed with them in the Masters...
I've grown used to the way they train and how they assess race sets etc...
And I've to admit that I felt a little weird when I first rowed in the junior boat during the last few trainings in bedok...
I felt kinda out of place?
But of course, I know that the J1s are my real team and that we'll be rowing together for another next year.

Anyway, Congratulations to the seniors :)
on the other hand, I was really really glad that I rowed in the junior boat for the Nationals.
Because, we rowed our best race set so far.
In trainings, we usually lose to the seniors by a boat length.
But this time round, we lost by a mere 2 seconds!!!
It was close!
We even beat the senior team from TPJC!
And the thing is that our team only started rowing together 2-3 months ago!

I'm super proud of the team!!!
Even Mr Lee said that he was surprised!
OMG, the team felt soooo good
This is the first time I felt so good without winning :)

Dear team,
We all know that we have great potential!
Lets all train super super hard to improve our fitness and rowing techniques!!!
I have turst in every single one of you!
I believe if we work hard enough, we'll be the team to watch in the next Nationals!

Oh btw, NJC got champion for every single race..
and when they recieved their medals for each races, there were no claps, no screams of joy from them
like WTF?!
they're like so damn used to getting gold

Like how we surprised Mr Lee
He surprised us by telling us that we'll be taking part in the Singapore Dragon Boat Festival.
the races there are like 800m!
We didn't even trained for that!
Well, its gonna be an eye opener for us :)
Jia You!

We had our post race dinner at some restaurant serving international buffet.

and the total bill was $2000 plus...
cool huh?
$32 per head.

The Hunks...

The babes...


I will miss the seniors

Flu...

Damn...
I'm sick :(
Really bad time to fall sick...
my race is next week and I've to kinda chiong for my mid-yr
slept the whole day today.
didnt study at all.
SIAN

Anyway, my mum went to Mexico today...
It's an all expenses paid trip given by her company, American Express...
She won the pacesetter award...
an award given to the best few AMEX staffs of the year.

OMG, all expenses paid trip!
how shiok is that man.
I'm gonna miss her for 10 days!
I'm gonna miss the PSP too
haha

She recently bought a PSP to keep her entertained during the long-haul flights.
Of course, when she suggested buying, I supported her :)
I mean, she can watch movies and play games on the PSP to keep her occupied:)
I even downloaded a mahjong game for her ok.
and I mean... the PSP will be mine when she's back...
MINE :)
MUHAHAHAHAHA!!

While she's away,
I've got to watch her altar for her (hmm.. i'm gonna pray hard everyday to get well asap)
I've got to wash my own smelly training attires
I'll have lonely dinners
the list goes on...

I'm feeling the pinch now
I'm gonna miss her and the psp lots! <3

Mummy boy loves his mum :)

100th post :)

Happy belated birthday to my sister :)

Oh man, I've not studied for my mid-yrs!!!
I'm super lazy
and I'm procrastinating
SHIT

I'm definitely going to do damn badly in my mid-yrs
I don't know man...
It's probably because I'm not used to this kind of setting where exams are after the holidays instead of before...
I know that's not an excuse

And according to the dictionary
"holiday" means a time or period of exemption from any requirements
in this case, studies.

Oh btw, there's this funny incident..
My dad told my mum something via sms
then my mum acknowledged it by replying "Okie dokie"
then my dad was like "Oi, why you call me dog?"
LOL

Anyway, this is my 100th post :)
YAY!

Bangkok 2007

I'm back :)

Masters on last Sunday wasn't too bad I guess...
4th in the heats
1st in repecharge
3rd in semi final
3rd in minor final

An improvement from the last masters :)

Bangkok?
OMG, we shopped from morning to night everyday.
loved it.

And I was a sinner the whole time there.
I lost control of my diet :(
Tom Yum soup everyday.
Bacons for breakfasts.
Dunkin' Donuts.
Starbucks.
Drank beer.
Auntie Anne's pretzels
A&W hotdogs, ice cream waffle and root bear float.
GOSH!

I didn't buy much stuff
but I did buy 20 pieces of Red Bull singlets for the senior guys team.
they wanted it...

went back to the gym on Friday and I felt like CRAP
my fitness dropped when I'm supposed to be peaking.

10 trainings left to Nationals
4 times a week.
first week of holidays gone
and I've not even started studying for my mid-yr
I'm SCREWED.

Anyway, pictures from Bangkok :)

Pris, Pearlyn and Michelle were super sweet to send me off
They bought me Men's Health for me to read on the plane
They made a little booklet with their pictures inside.
They even bought me a barbie doll toy handphone and told me to call them with that when I touched down -_-"
THANKS ALOT Yeah...
during the whole time, they were making it sound as if I'm leaving for months
LOL
AHHH!!
A&W!!!

Yummy yum yum

the food there is damn cheap
this crepe that I'm eating cost only S$1!

OMG, DONUTS!

Our last dinner there
Super SHIOK
and
Super CHEAP

I like this one :)
After a long day of shopping at MBK

At the airport...

Oh, my naughty and playful cousin :)

There're more to it but some pictures are in my sister's bf camera :(

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Holidays!

yay!
The holidays are here!
had GP paper 1 this morning
not too bad I guess...

went to watch Spiderman 3 after that
Oh my gosh, it have been loooong since I saw a movie.
I'm definitely going to watch more during the holidays :)

training at bedok after that.
Masters tomorrow!
the junior team will be rowing in the heats
the seniors will be rowing in the subsequent races.
I'm anxious

I'll be going there alone as my Mum and others will be leaving in the morning
COOOOL!

Ok, i'm gonna pack my stuff now...

and here are 2 more HolyHo productions!
Hurray!
Have fun!

Are you queueing for food?!

I've recovered from my little illness
Life's good

I love my new life

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again.
I'm busy with trainings and tutorials
Now, I've to always plan my day out in advance to minimise time wastage
Life feels more meaningful when you make full use of every minute :)
I'm long-winded, I know

Anyway, here's another HolyHo's production
Enjoy! :)


Oh btw, I'm the newly elected NYJC Dragonboat vice captain :)
Congratulations to myself!
And a BIG BIG THANK YOU to the team for giving me the opportunity!
I swear I'll do my best.
;-)

None

I'm sick again :(

I'm busy, tired and lazy
I shall just forget that I have a blog for a week or 2...

peace

Goodbye Mr Lawrence

Yesterday was my Econs teacher's last day in NYJC
Mr Thaddeus Lawrence rocks ok!
he's damn funny and crappy
We'll miss him...
All the best to him in his new job:)


Omg, I have Chemistry test tmr and I'm totally lost!!!
Die Die Die!
I also have lots of maths tutorials to do
THIS SUCKS!

And there's something that SUCK even more
I just found out that the dragonboat Master race is on 27th MAY
and guess what?
I'm leaving for Thailand in that same morning
and my ticket have been booked
Oh man, I really don't want to miss the race!

If I were to really miss the race, everyone will definitely label me as "uncommitted"
and that is so not true!

I'm damn confused now!
THIS SUCKS!


somebody please feel for me...

Blood Donation

There was a blood donation drive on Thursday
I decided to go for a try since I didn't donate for the first one during PAE

I signed up for the time slot for 1-2pm during the common lunch break.
and I have Chemistry Practical at 2pm.
So.... I was supposed not to miss Chem.
yes, SUPPOSED...
but well, I went to the place at 1.30pm and the queue was loong...
so that means.... I missed the whole of Chem Pract :)
It wasn't my fault that I missed the practical...
Ok, I admit that I kinda anticipated the queue and intentionally went there later at 1.30
smart right?

Anyway, it wasn't as painful as it seemed.
It was quite fun actually...
OMG, I think donating blood is addictive!

Btw, one of my DB senior's reason for not donating blood was...
"After all the trainings, my red blood cells have became very efficient so if I donate, it'll be a waste. But if I haven't been training, then i'll donate :)"
LOL

Jia Bing's birthday was yesterday
and the seniors was really mean to him
this was how they "celebrated" his birthday...
they pinned him down on the track
took off his shirt
spread wasabi on his body
and sprayed darn lot of adidas deodorant.
smashed cakes on his face
tau pok him
and they even put bomb bags into his pants

Oh, I saw this label on my friend's jacket
It says "wash this when dirty"

like DUH!
of course you wash clothes when it's dirty!
LOL

BUSY...

I've been pretty busy and tired...
the life of a JC dragonboater is really demanding...
but hey, I'm loving my new life :)

every week revolves around completing tutorials, revising notes, DB training, personal training and clearing of logsheets.
when I come to think of it, it's actually kinda cool.
because when you are busy with this and that, it makes you feel that your life is really exciting and that every second was spent meaningfully.
agree?

Oh and by the way, we have this DB logsheet thingy...
every week, we have to complete 250 push-ups, 150 chin-ups and 14km run.
and all this excludes the stuff we do during 'official' trainings...
interesting yea?
the senior guys had it worse.
They have to complete 24km per week!
jia you:)

So yup
I'm a busy boy man :)
during my free time, I will love to just SLACK and RELAX.
not much time for other activities I guess...
even if I want to have a girlfriend, I doubt I can afford the time
haha

And one more thing...
I don't think I'll be updating my blog frequently...
maybe just once a week....
I'm busy and...... LAZY!

random pictures...

the councillor election fever...
NYJC DB logo :)
nice right?
I drew it myself ok!
Don't you think it looks like kimchi?
Its actually chicken rice soup + chicken rice chilli + tissue paper
=)

Initiation completed!

Oh yes!
Congratulations to myself and all junior dragonboaters!
passed initiation on wednesday
we got our bai long shirt :)
I didn't get the new one though, instead Yi He passed me his just for the ceremony...
have to return it to him tmr...
so pictures will come when I recieve my own one!

Oh man
initiation was no joke!
I swear I was whining like a bitch during the middle stations
of course, I've made it...
and just like most of the juniors, I have blisters on my palm...
no, not the kind you get from doing chin-ups
but the kind u get on the sole of your feet...
Big and ouch-y!
plus my whole body is friggin darn ached!
Anyway, it was all worth it :)

Oh and the funniest thing...
our seniors told us that their seniors were so much fiercer during their initiation
and they were shouting stuff like :"We've all went through this before!!!"
But the truth was revealed by Mr Tommy Lee (tcher-ic)
Our seniors were actually the first batch to have gone through initiation
so that means their seniors were all bullshiting!
LOL


Ponned Maths lecture yesterday...
4 of us were chatting on the bench BESIDE THE LT
and.... we got caught by our own math tutor!!!
Fucking suay can!
Don't ask why we were even beside the LT
haha

Having training in the noon tmr
10km run from kallang to east coast park tmr...
with my muscles still aching bad, I doubt I'll survive the run.

Oh,
HAPPY BIRHTDAY PRIS!

Mural Painting

We didn't have lessons on thursday! YAY
instead, we had to paint the walls of HDB void decks around the school
Damn cool lah.
I wished they could do the same to the blocks around my house..
I want to move to serangoon already!
everywhere is soooo pretty :)

In case you didn't know and would like to know.
we painted 30 walls as part of our 30th anniversary celebration :)

we had lots of fun as a class.
I think we did a good job =)
check this out.

BEFORE

AFTER!!!

I didn't slack ok!
I painted too!

Anyway, stayed home the whole of today and managed to complete my chinese essay and 1st draft of PI :)
WOOOOOO!!!
I feel accomplished =)

And btw, the iniation into Dragonboat is set on next wednesday!
It gonna be hell!!!
I can't wait for it
I want the Bai Long shirt!!!
I was looking forward to this day since day 1 man!

Mother's day is about a month's time...
hmm... I thought of getting a temporary tattoo that says :
I LOVE MUM

yea?

Update...

HELLO!

Firstly, I wanna complain!
NYJC is sucking lots of money from us!
I'm damn broke now ok!

We had to buy :
Chem tys - $9
Bio tys - $9
Chinese - $6.80
Econs - $7.30
Class fund - $$$
House tee - $10.60
pe shorts - $8
Newsweek - $26
and the list goes on and on...
HAIZ....

My school starts at 9.00am every Monday :)
Cool huh?
BUT
We dragon boaters have to come at 7.30 for training.
We have to do 'fart legs' (is that how it's spelt?) every monday
fart legs = sprints with short rests in between
This week : 800m, 400m, 400m, 300m, 200m, 200m, 100m
It was damn "shiok"!!!

No train
No pain
No gain
:)

Oh, my class has 2 weirdos ok!
Pearlyn and Michelle
why?
They drink macdonald tea with 9 packets of sugar!!!
When Pearlyn was a child, she eats sugar straight from the container!!!
When Michelle was a child, she eats salt and pepper by itself!!!
Freakish isn't it?
LOL

Went to my uncle's house on Sunday
let the pictures do the talking yea...



CUTEEEEE!!!

It was the first time my sister carried a baby :)
She used to be afraid of.....of.....aiya, she was just afraid to carry one.


Oh well, I was bored so...
hmm... I think I look like the LAMA below... =)

NYJC Sports Carnival 2007

I'm DAMN TIRED now!

Woke up at 5am this morning to catch the first bus to tampines!
5am ok!

so yeah... sports carnival...
frisbee, dragonboat and 1km run
Each class had to send people for the different events

Took part in the 10men dragonboat race
my class has 4 guys and a girl from dragonboat and we.... LOST! :(
Oh man, we were so confident that we gonna win but...
oh well
2nd isn't bad

took part in the 1km run too
had to borrow shoes from wanton because it was a last minute decision and I didnt bring my shoes
And we.... finished 2nd behind the same team that we lost in dragonboat :(

Anyway, had loads of fun today
my class was SUPER HIGH
If there was a "most enthu class" award, 0716 will win it for SURE!

The eh... S CLUB 7, we gave ourselves girls names
Sheila, Serene, Sandy, Sharon, Stephanie, Sally, Stella
The 10 dragonboaters :)
erm...
0716 Rocks!!!

Hey, check out the burn I got on my neck. lol
yes yes, Mac's fattening

The Fisherman's Friend block!

I'm going to my uncle's house tomorrow for the whole day to celebrate his third child man yue
So... that means i'll not have time to do any work!
I'm so DEAD!!!

Update...

A update! :]
Eh, no no no
it should be AN update
A,E,I,O,U rule applies :)

Watched Mr Bean with 0716
friggin' dumb show but funny :)

New classmates are fun, teachers are cool :)

P.E and dragonboat training tmr..
so I've to bring 3 sets of clothes, towel and toiletries.... and a big bag :(
ma chiam going chalet...

Ok, that's all.
I'm too lazy and tired to type anymore...

but I still have a tiny bit of energy to tell everybody that...
Project Work SUCKS!!!

0708, please give me some time :)

I miss competitive soccer :(

Went to the grandstand to watch a friendly soccer match after gym...
It was between NYJC and Victoria B'div
Yup, they played against Sec 3s and 4s
and.... NYJC lost 0-1!!

Oh man, I think Amkss B'div can beat NYJC too...

As I was watching, I realised that I miss playing competitive soccer!
The last time I played field soccer with boots on was many months ago!
I also miss Mr Ling's yelling
I think Mr Ling is a darn good coach!
His concept of soccer is to always have lots of communication, determination, concentration and teamwork!!
He wants you to always chase hard and play hard
He hates half-hearted tackles, blocks and shots etc
He doesn't need exceptionally skillful players to win

Haiz...
That was exactly what NYJC kinda lacked today...
I couldn't hear the players shouting and communicating
There were instances where 3 players went for the same Victorian player and they didn't get the ball!!!
The coach should be blamed for not emphasizing the fundamental concepts that worked so well for Mr Ling

Oh man, I really really miss playing competitive soccer
Did I mention how much I enjoyed myself at the CAGE on last Sunday?
I felt soooo good playing the sports that I've played for 4 years
Sometimes I really wonder if I made the right choice to discontinue soccer in JC
How nice if I'm able to take up both soccer and dragonboat...

This was how it all started 4 years ago...
can u spot me?
haha


Oh no, I can't go to the AMKsian Family day at sentosa on 31 march :(
Because NYJC's having their sports carnival on the same morning...
SHUCKS!!!

New timetable is gay >.<

My new timetable SUCKS!!!
Monday and Tuesday end at 4.30
Wednesday - 2.30 and that's the earliest BUT Wednesday is CCA day and the whole school is dismissed at 2.30. So, it makes no difference!
Thursday - 3.30!
and Friday - 5.00!!!

My next 2 years in JC is gonna be miserable!
I can see the future...
except on wednesday when there's DB training...
every other weekday after school will either be the gym or going home to study.
then weekends, besides having DB training, I'll be doing my tutorials!
So no life can!
I just hope it doesn't turn out like I've thought.

We had a Project Work Lecture today
and let me tell you...
Project Work is GAY!
Gay shit
lousy shit
stupid shit
useless shit


To the gym tmr :)

Happy Birthday to Eunice :)

Happy Brithday Eunice!
Jun Xian was really sweet to plan the surprise celebration for her!
He gathered some of the 4/fiviens and her friends at AMKSS and 'tricked' her to come to school
then surprise!

The huge 3kg cake that we had:)

It felt sooooo good to be back at AMKSS
Clad in NYJC uniform, the senior-y feeling was good :) haha
It was great to see my ex-classmates in their different colleges uniforms too
I miss the green AMKSS uniform
well, korky was wearing his SAJC tie and we just had to put on ours too =)

Cute dogs!!!

Oh man, a week of holidays is over soon :(
I was supposed to do some revision
but I didn't do a single bit!!!
DIE DIE DIE!!!

Anyway, my pae class ponned the camp on friday and we went to east coast park! :)
cycled, played some soccer and different versions of murderer

Training was alright yesterday...
hmm...
I had Burger King on friday and Carl's Jr yesterday :(
I'm a sinner!
No more fast food for me this month!

Btw, I saw a lady pushing a pram with 6 dogs inside!
DAMN CUTE!!!
Got the owner's permission to snap a picture.
There're 2 smaller ones that can't be seen in the picture...
Ok, i'm gonna get some breakfast now...

going to the cage later!

Level Camp day 1

In the morning, the picture I had for the camp was a group of young and hyper leaders leading us in the usual teambuilding games.
It's gonna be fun, I thought...

Instead, the leaders/trainers was a group of adults in their 30s?
yes yes, those trainers have lots of experience and degrees in this and that...
but... It just didn't work.

My house, Pegasus (blue) spent the first 4 hours in LT4 listening to a lecture about knowing yourself and others and goal setting?
Hello?!
Goal setting?!
We've done that for umpteen times since we started wearing uniforms a decade ago!
Lame shit!

And every NYJCians knows that LT4 is actually a refrigerator in disguise!
Yes, the air-con is so strong that I was worried I would get frostbites
So basically, we were in a torture chamber!
we were starving to death; freezing to death and were bored to death!
"Somebody save me" by Remy Zero was playing in my head the whole time.

In the end, some of us went to the canteen for fooooooood
goooooood choice!
Ah, I love the mee goreng from the malay stall :)

Played games after lunch
the games were pretty alright lah...
got dismissed at 5pm

the programme tomorrow is about the same :(
yes, the first 4 hours will be in the "fridge" again...
Well, I'm not going to play smart by bringing a jacket...
because I'm gonna play even smarter and pon the first 4 hours! :D

Orientation 2

Was Orientation 2 fun?
compared to the first one...
Erm, wait a minute.
Both Orientations were not fun fun but not to the extent that I'll ask for more.
Anyway, I just feel that the 1st one was a tad better.
My tribe members were fun people though...

The OGLs for O2 were students from the 1st intake
they did good but one has to admit that the leaders (J2s) for O1 was better.

Oh oh, the most unforgettable program of O2 has to be disco night.
Yes, unforgettable because it sucked so bad.
more specifically, the AVA dude up there in the gallery has a disgusting taste for music.

The NYJC dragonboat team is in a crisis.
LOL
In a crisis because we do not have enough people :(
I remembered there was about 60 of us during the first DB orientation
and now there are only about 20 of us remaining from the '60'
We need more people!!!
GOD bless NYDB :)

Training was gooood today!
2nd intakers had their orientation while the 1st intakers........
got to row the 'champion' boat using the 'T-paddles'!!!
total coolness!
the 'champion' boat was much lighter than those SDBA boats that we used for past trainings
the 'T-paddles' were lighter too!
So basically, all of us felt stronger than before!

NAN CHU LONG ZHOU SHENG LI!!!

Last day of PAE

Last day of PAE :(
it's the signal to the end of ponning lessons
so the rest of this week will be orientation etc
it may or may not be boring
it all depends on how crazy my new OG will be

Anyway, my classs attended only an hour of lesson today before going to J8 for a movie :)
watched pursuit of happyness
good show...
but somehow, most of my classmates found it boring and some even fell asleep
Oh well...

Thanks Michelle, Shuyan, and Jane for the belated birthday gift!!!
CUUUTTE
Why toilet bowl?
because I've gotten a reputation in my class for shitting in school frequently...

Ok, JAE posting results will be out tomorrow

Can you sleep while you eat?

Yay, I can say that I've FINALLY recovered from whatever illness I had
Went for DB training yesterday!
I seriously need to regain my fitness and shape :)

Anyway, Have you ever wonder how is it like when you suddenly fall asleep while eating?
Here's it!
It's an act...

Steamboat!

Went to sentosa on Sunday to celebrate Nick's Birthday!!!
My good friend since primary 3 =D
there were 4 of us, all from Mayflower Primary class 6B :)
went to the beach and chilled
got wet so we had to showered -_-
then we went to try the Luge ride!!!
It was damn fun ok!
We raced down the course
It can go pretty fast
but unfortunately the course was quite short :(

On the skyride...
Nick's afraid of heights
haha
Dinner at Marche
then a surprise birthday cake for Nick at the sky garden :)
The super chocolatey and........... fattening cake....

Oh, during school today...
we were slacking in the canteen when
Suddenly, a bird flew past us and pooooooot
Poor Yuhan and her pinafore
Lucky or unlucky?
Lol
