Anywae...this following lines are from dodgeball...haha full of nonsense...:
Peter La Fleur : Yeah, uh, Patches... are you sure this is completely necessary? [using wrenches to play dodgeball]
Patches O'Houlihan : Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?
Peter La Fleur : Probably not.
Patches O'Houlihan : No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste. Peter La Fleur : ...Okay.
Guess u all can tell wad sorta show dodgeball is now..haha
haha i tynk todae is not such a bad day for mi after all...tot i'll be devastated due to results and all...haha got back chem prac in the morning...tynk i got the lowest in class wif 35.5/75...haha it's ok lar...knew i din do tt well on tt day itself liao..then got maths after tt and relly, tt relly brighten up mi day like mad...i was so happy after tt...
I actually got 60 for paper 2 which is a B lar...and i haf nv gotten a D for a single maths paper b4 man...much less a C or a B..and then paper 1 came and i got 58..and upon tallying all the results, it was actually 67! haha i juz felt like jumping for joy at tt moment...it's like...veh jubilent...at least i knoe i studied correctly for maths liao...so overall got a B woosh!
But when i got back chem, abit disappointed lar, because i studied the most for chem, yet still get only an E..hmmm...shldn't have been over-confident..but mi mcq did mi proud by getting mi 26/40. Gone are the days when i got 2/20 or 5/20 for mcq...haha juz glad...well...i shld juz be glad tt at least i passed chem too...time to work hard on mi weaker topics liao...like equilibria and physical chem man...haha
After sch played badminton wif binh and zixu and i must say...after the intense training wif the guys..i've improved lots man...more agile and the smacks are more dangerous liao...and i'm actually quite proud because mi backhand smack is beginning to take shape finally..hope i can master it. After tt alroy and hongju came to challenge us lar..and mi and zx took up the challenge, say wad s07 vs s08..wasted if only weeboon jianhong chee keong u all are here man..then can beat them even more...though we're like almost on par..but it's actually quite competitive and fun..haha it was then tt i realised tt i've improved coz hongju actually has good technique man...haha
Good day! Btw, mi dear tutees from yusof ishak wanna date mi...haha to teach them math for a day...heehee, feel honored lar...hope i can help them as much as i can...
boring boring dress to impress...i mean we wasted $10 for pple telling us stuff tt we already knoe...i thought it'll be more like individually they telling us how to improve our image in our attire, like date or interview...in the end causing mi to wear mi the interview attire there without actually having the need for it...but well, i love to wear mi red long sleeve shirt so i shall stop complaining...was sooo looking forward to the picnic throughout the whole talk wif binh zx jas and mi lar...haha sounds fun rite? haha
After the talk, we were further discussing wad to do for the picnic later and it was then tt there was a little bit of tension because of some misunderstanding for the preparation of the food but i'm glad everything turned out fine! Of course it's due to zixu giving way to mi..(haha i bet ur head is swelling now..), thx man! haha and mi and jas went to get some stuff from ntuc while binh and zx went to his home to get the picnic basket, as well as the mat as well as some eggs and kitchen appliances etc...
After waiting for close to eternity for tt pair of ah gong and ah ma...we finally reached harbour front at about 3pm...took a shuttle bus and got to sentosa's siloso beach...at tt time, i was still in mi long pants and i was lazy to find the toilet, too far away. So i wanted to juz take off mi pants there and put on mi bermudas since everyone on the beach is in their swimming trunks..so seeing underwear shld be alrite mar...but binh and jas were shy...hahahaha!! so i juz hid somewhere and changed lar...after laying the mat and stuff, i volunteered to wash all the fruits and all the vegetables..took damn long to soak and wash to remove the insecticide...
Finally after such a long time, i came back and we started preparing our darling sandwiches..Mine had tomato chilli tuna, a slice of pineapple, 2 slices of tomato and some eggs in the hole left by the pineapple...beautiful...and zixu as usual...had everything including lettuce and cucumber..greedy pig..dripping stuff everywhere. Binh has tomatoes, tuna and cucumber and jas made a duck face...haha wif 2 cucumbers for the eyes, half a slice of pineapple for the smile, and a piece of potato chip for the nose...
So we juz started pigging out like mad...it was simply delicious man...i mean, making ur own sandwiches and eating them on the spot...so many different combinations..and juz enjoying wif ur good frens..juz fantastic feeling...and binh vowed to finish 3 apples and 3 pears haha and zixu dared her...haha and if she could finish it, zx would voluntarily get into the water...in the meantime, we enlisted the help of many passerbys to help us take group photos...shiok! of course we also took photos in pairs, got the 4C2( 4 choose 2 ) combination..which is 6 pictures...fun..
Jas is good man! haha she took some sand and poured it down zixu's back..haha irritated the hell outta him coz the sand got into his underwear and it's everywhere down his back..haha orbi...and tt idiot lar..went to take revenge by throwing sand down mi back too...lucky i smart, wear underwear wif tighter straps...so no sand in mi underwear..hahahaha
While waiting for binh to finish her fruits, we started to climb some trees and rocks..haha and took many pictures...also took one picture of binh doing a star jump and mi catching it...wad a good photographer man..and finally binh finished her fruits and when she was confronting zx to get into the water..haha zx juz grabbed her all the way from our picnic venue into the water...literally dragged and binh was screaming like mad lar...tynk she was totally shocked and caught off guard tt she had no time to react but scream and try to resist...
After tt period of madness i wrote NJ038 on the sand, which is our pw group no., wif mi feet. Also made a footprint in the sand..and zx was like trying to gek sai on the sand..next, zx drew some pictures on the sand..haha got the sandcastle one and also a couple and tt idiot went to put jas and nic lar...wah lau..i nv lie to u lar zx, it's relly not true lar..mi and jas are juz close frens lor..so we juz ended up sitting on the sand and talking...juz enjoying the good weather and the sound of the waves...not to forget the human jukebox binh singing songs after songs...haha
Time passed quickly and soon it was already 7+ and i was supposed to leave at 5+ to go to the d'euqilco's mooncake festival gathering...sorry!! haha seeing the sun set and the moon becoming brighter and brighter is juz beautiful...but farni..the moon looked orange at sentosa...it was so dark tt we had no choice but to leave the beach liao...went back to our nice little picnic mat and started to pig again...finishing all the unfinished food...esp binh, enjoying the extreme saltiness of the chips...tsktsk...it's true man, wanna knoe wad binh likes? easy, juz get something incredibly salty and it's bound to be listed as 1 of her all time fav food...
After clearing up, finishing scraps and washing our feet, we made our way out of the beach and back to the visitor's departure centre...all the while singing children all time classics like twinkle twinkle little star, and christmas songs...while zx was like totally shagged out...took a few more photos in the bus...
Memories such as this is juz gonna be so etched in mi mind for years to come...My first ever picnic...haha successful and fun and unforgetable...hu can ever forgot this experience? it's juz so unbelievable and undescribable. I hope tt yar..we'll continue to build upon our frenship and tt it will only get stronger...
Zixu, i knoe tt in another 3 months, it'll be yet a new chapter in our lives..but for now..let's juz treasure our frenship...mi u binh and jas...it's so magical lar..Since we're in the same pw group and since we're such good frens..we're destined to be good frens for life! Though in the 2 years, all of us have quarrels, arguments and some problems in our relationship..i'm glad tt everything has turned out well...let's juz treasure this moment in time...i believe our frenship will last for many years to come...
hmmm...i've been rather out of sorts lately...must have been the boredom of having to stay at home, or going out, wandering aimlessly...nv been wad i wanted to do...this break juz hasn't been the best, tt's all. Aimless, pointless...
Deep inside mi heart, i can feel the raging demon, waiting to burst out. I've been acting out of mi normal personality, acting fine, acting good, acting happy, but am i? Juz beginning to feel a bit of resentment, a bit of hate...
I tynk many pple knoe mi well. I do tynk i'm one of those problematic guys. Full of troubles, full of problems, whole life depending on others to pamper mi, to care for mi. Issit too much to expect someone to understand mi? Understand mi needs and understand mi wants? i guess it is. Juz so alone everywhere i go...the sense of aloneness and emptiness is back. There was no one to fill tt void...i wish for pple to pamper mi, to come and care for mi...issit relly too much to ask? Everywhere i go, bitterness accompanied mi. But hu can i turn to when everyone is troubled also? Shld i burden them and add on to their woes wif mi selfishness?
hai...exams exams exams...haha study study study...sick of it liao...hope i wun do too badly...heehee
Yesterday a mexican ger chatted mi up on msn...she somehow added mi like ages ago...but whenever she wanted to chat wif mi she'd start using some foreign language tt i can't understand...and yesterday...i was quite irritated once again...and i started replying in french, in chinese and in hokkien...haha and i tynk it's damn farni...until she said...u speak english?
Haha her english is not veh good coz spanish is her first language and haha quite farni talking to her! yay! got overseas penpal!! quite fun! haha esp to learn of their culture and stuff there...haha i tynk i'm damn bad to her though...speaking in chinese and hokkien...haha
juz came back from church and relly...i've lived a life tt is too self-centered and too selfish...everything in life i've juz taken for granted...from mi existence in this world, to mi birthright in singapore, to mi family tt i'm born into, to the education tt i'm blessed with...
Anywae this post is about mi reflections, so if u disagree wif anything or wad, or dun feel aligned with mi tynking, it's ok, u're not any lesser than mi or i'm not any greater than u.
All along in mi life, i tot education, from pri sch to jc, was a total waste of time. It's something tt i have nv put much effort into and i've not treasured it much. But todae, mi opinion changed. I juz watched a video, filmed by a fellow singaporean and a fellow christian who juz visited the slums in some countries in asia, namely the philipines, thailand, cambodia, vietnam etc...And it is relly heart-wrenching to see the pple living in the slums.
Look at philipines, thousands of pple living in poverty lived in a slum called Smoky Mountain 2. Basically, they're living by the rubbish dump. The scale and size of tt dumping ground is so huge and massive man..all the rubbish from the city juz fills the place. As the name suggests, the place is so smoky due to the toxic wastes from the decomposing garbage and food and leftovers...and relly...thousands comb the area daily for food...and for things tt they could sell to earn tt bit of money tt is so little tt it might not be even 1/100th of our allowances..tt's the situation...
In case u tot tt only kids live in these places..u're so wrong...boys and gers tt are as young as 6 or 7 have already begun combing the area for survival..Searching for leftovers. Can u imagine eating someone's leftovers? yea some of us might find it disgusting already...take it 1 step further...food tt are leftovers and decomposing and stinky...guess how tt tastes like? Pple over there haf those for meals.
Young gers are being sold and forced into the flesh trade in order to survive..Where they'll never ever be able to redeem themselves. These boys and gers would probably never ever learn alphabets...much less to spell their names and to write...They'll probably not be able to read a single book in their lives...
Mi written description will never be able to express wad i saw on the film ever...it's too powerful...the scene..And here i am, squandering away mi youth...being self-centered...Spending unneccesary money on unneccesary stuff..Worst still..i'm wasting mi education away...I'm blessed wif education, yet i dun treasure it, yet i still feel as if i'm forced to study..
Give those kids a chance, i'm sure all of them will embrace education wif joy...It's hard to say, but u'll nv knoe wad a privilege it is until u've a fate like theirs. Where their future lies in the dumps, most certainly forever.
We always see on television charity shows tt ask us to donate to these poor singaporeans. In singapore, wad we define as poor are pple hu are earning a few hundred dollars a month...in these slums...these pple earn a few cents a day...If we can so generously call and donate to these charities, y can't we save a little everyday, be it money or clothes or some neccessities and give it to the pple hu need it the most. Take note, i'm not saying tt those singaporeans are not needy, but rather less needy.
We spend so much money on food, on the inflated meals of fast food, on inflated prices for presents and gifts. Why can't we save a little everyday and donate to these pple? They need it more than us.
I'm not trying to be a hero, drawing attention to miself. I dun wanna be a hero. I juz wanna highlight tt we are a million times more privileged than the poor in this world. Even if you dun intend to donate, at least pls make it a point to not spend unneccessarily and to avoid wastage.
After reading this, some of u might feel tt wad i say is crap. Or tynk tt wad i say is too ideal, where we are in no position to help, where we are in no position to eliminate poverty in the world. I'm not trying to eliminate poverty, but rather give as much as i can, and help as much as i can. Although i'm too small to make a huge impact, but i'm large enough to make a difference in pples' lives.
You are blessed wif an affluent life. Do not squander it. 1 day, i will go out to the mission fields. Tt's mi dream and mi life. I dun wanna be a hero. Pls do not post comments to praise mi.
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few."
hmmm...i dun understand y but i keep getting bothered by pple hu dun matter to mi at all...dunnoe how come i feel so disturbed though...i tynk i juz gotta concentrate on pple tt care for mi and i care for..yeap..Life's short, shall not get bothered by these pple. I tynk they're juz jealous...heh
I tyynk mi biological clock is seriously seriously screwed up lar! everyday...i'd feel real real tired in the afternoon...and as the day drags on...drags till evening...suddenly i'd feel so revived...it's as if i juz woke up and as time passes, i'd juz get more and more awake until about 2am at night...at this rate..i tynk i'll probably not be awake during the afternoon papers man...
Been enjoying mi time spending time wif pple in mi circle recently...and well..it juz feels so enjoyable to haf these group of pple there for u whenever u need them, be it for fun or down to serious work or juz talking. It's nice talking to pple that can identify wif u and can understand u. It's one of the greatest joys in life!
Pple who understand mi will knoe tt i can connect better wif gers rather than guys and i admit it's one of mi weaknesses and greatest regrets in life. I'm not saying tt males are of any lesser compared to females but it's juz mi..hopefully i'll be able to overcome mi shyness(haha!) and the reluctance to share wif them...it's hard to find a guy hus relly interested in wad i say...but since many guys haf guy frens...i tnyk it's juz mi relly...heehee as such...i feel tt mi circle of frens consists of mainly gers..heh heh...
Decided to pay a tribute to the pple tt made a different in mi life...gonna write bout 1 of them everytime i update mi blog...thank you guys for strengthening mi, holding on to mi when i'm down and sharing ur joys and sorrows wif mi. I always feel tt u pple are special pple...because i'm special!
1st up...the tall and loud and charismatic limin!! relly great to renew mi frenship wif limin recently...relly, we're like long lost siblings..relly can talk to her. I tynk it has something to do wif our birthdays..afterall she's the one who is born 6 days b4 me! haha used to be quite close to her last year until i joined soccer..which means mi spending lesser time in co..wasn't until somewhere in june tt our frneship was revived! haha yea...thankful tt i got this fren to tok to...real nice...
