To be like Alexander Hleb

Its been a while.

2010-10-11T13:42:00.002+08:00

WOAH! Its been quite a long time since i entered this page of the blog. Feels great to be back. haha. Well, but not exactly good cause A's are just around the bend, and my preparation have been slow but surely moving forward. Past few weeks have been filled with many emotions and thoughts about school life. Glad that this whole trauma is over and that i can fully concentrate on my preparations for my A's now. Im so gonna get decent grades for my A's to prove that an 18pointer can do it. Also im so gonna get into a course that i like in local university. So its full throttle ahead from now on!! LETS GO YUXUN LETS GO!!

WEll, at least i know my math is improving slowly after all the math intensive and past year papers that i've been doing. Hope it all works out. However im still not that sure about the rest, geog, econs and bio. Sigh. Hope i can pull these grades up! So, i shall keep requesting and pestering the teachers for consultations from now on... hehehe... I really need a miracle! haha

Okay thats all for now, gotta blast! i mean study. seeya!

LOOOOOOOOOOOONG TIME

2010-08-04T22:09:00.001+08:00

Its been such a looooong time since the last decent post. But this yet again is not a decent post, just to update and revive my blog. Well, june holidays has come and went and so has the mid years. Did pretty badly this time round. Don't really know why for some subjects but certainly for some. And A levels are just around the corner, with around 94 days left to prepare! SO gonna die. Maybe i should just U turn or something. What's more, my mind is just filled with other things rather than the prelims let alone A lvls. What with the upcoming national sports day carnival( which will be super sad if it rains) making me so excited and the DnD after A levels. Sigh.

Well, tomorrow is parents teacher meeting, hope it goes well! well thats all, 2 tests tmr and consultation for bio before the meet. Wish me Luck! =)

NUS vs NYJC

2010-06-10T16:01:00.002+08:00

Had handball Friendly(s) yesterday with NUS. Really thank GOD that i could be fit enough to play as keeper for 50 mins total, even though my performance wasnt really there yet. Seems like the lack of training really affects my concentration levels and reflexes. Well that was at least as the games progressed on. For the first match, i think i played relatively well although i started off slowly off the blocks and just stared at a few shots as they whizzed past me. But after a couple more shots, i started to feel the concentration oozing into my head and my focus became clearer. Yeah, so after that i managed to make a few one on one saves. The score was 8-8 at the end of the first game and i think the team played very well by scoring so many in the first game of the day, although i think i should have done better to save more shots. =( I sat out the whole of the next match with Tuck Heng and the new potential fauzi interchanging as keeper. From being a spectator outside, i could really see things clearer, and the team has really been improving alot under coach's guidance. Shots by Szexin, Kai Keat and JunJie were much more explosive and powerful then what it once already was, keepers were really improving in terms of the reflexes as well as their ability to play in other positions as well.

The next few matches, the team continued to improve while my form stuttered more and more as the game wore on. My weaknesses started to get more and more exposed, from my inability to cover angles for wing shots to my lazy legs and to my occasional indecisiveness. With all these weaknesses out loud for all to see, i conceded plenty of goals. SORRY GUYS!!

Well, but the plus points are that the NUS keepers were really friendly! They even approached me and gave me tips on how to cover the goal more and to train. TOTALLY AWESOME RIGHT? Hopefully as Adiv approaches(and i can play), i will be a much better player than i am now and help the team, NYJC and Coach to victory instead of a liability at the back. YEAH =D

Holidays

2010-06-01T02:15:00.002+08:00

Holidays are here! Well not really much of one, what with all the preparations i need for this coming mid years, and the holiday homework that needs to be done. But most importantly, i have to use this holiday for the preparation of the final paper of the year- A levels. This would be the last long break that im ever gonna have this year, so i have got to make full use of it. God, i need you to help me. I need to have the determination to focus, the perseverance to reject all temptation as well as the wisdom to absorb all this knowledge to apply them. So far, i think i've been doing okay, following the scehdule quite closely. What with a week going to be gone with table tennis chalet and Church camp. Yup. So gotta start working hard now.

On the lighter note, i think im starting to catch up on some stuff already, and hopefully my poor poor results can improve by this mid years. That would definitely give me the confidence boost that i need now. Well, its getting late, time to sleep!

Things would have been much better if it was like a few months back though...

Tick tick Tick Tock.

2010-05-15T10:12:00.003+08:00

The past few months have yet again swept past me with a blink of an eye. Im not saying that it wasnt significant, but it was definitely emotional for many. What with many J2's stepping down from their respective CCA's, competitions starting to end, as well as many other beautiful chapters coming to a close. However, not all is bad as now is also the time where the J1's or successors take over from us while we prepare for the mugging war so as to move on to the next phase of our lives. Still, i wanna encourage many of my friends, even though they might not read this, to continue to work hard and stay strong and be happy. Unhappy memories of the past should not be forgotten but rather we should earn from them and become stronger and better. We have all already did our best and we have nothing to regret now. For me, no matter which CCA's we are from be it from sports such as Table Tennis, Volleyball,handball or clubs such as Interact Club and House Exco, WE ARE ALWAYS THE CHAMPIONS!! Yeah, so lets not dwell on the past anymore and work towards the future. God Bless all!!=)

18th birthday!!

2010-05-04T21:19:00.003+08:00

2nd may has come and gone but i cant say that it wasnt special and AWESOME!! It totally is!! Thanks guys for the birthday wishes via sms( Joey, WeiBin, Geraldine,CiHui, Clarence,Xinling,JunJie,YanLing,Ryan,Asraf,ZhiYang,JingWen,ShuYi,Mingliang,,Kevin,DaoJing,YanJing ,LiTing, ZhengYi, Adrian! ) and the many awesome ppl from Facebook too! =) Thanks guys for making this birthday so memorable for me. Oh and i also want to especially thank my family, for bringing me out for Good food the whole day as well as for making my favourite cheesecake for me, The table tennis team for giving me a surprise present and celebration at KFC after our movie outing, Church classmates for singing me a birthday song in class, the people who msged and chit chatted with me on the day and the many more! THANK YOU!! This 18th was truly a memorable one especially since i was feeling kinda down at the start. Hope we can all keep in contact soon!! Jiayou in all ur studies or work! =)

Pw and more.

2010-04-18T23:16:00.002+08:00

Finally the A divs are OVER!! Finally have more time to myself to study and spend time with friends instead of training everyday. But im not saying table tennis is not fun! It is! Just that everyday of training and competition really tires me out and thankfully there is this much needed break after some time. Yup, so hopefully i will be able to catch up with all my schoolwork and improve my grades now. Oh and i have gone back to handball training now, after not going for like since a few weeks before A divs. But something still bothers me. I don't want to be known as disloyal to table tennis just because i joined handball training immediately after A divs is over. I've always been giving more than my 100% for table tennis every training, but its just that im not as talented in that area as i would have wanted it to be. Although i got in through appeal, i know that i am still one of the weakest in the team. But nevertheless, i still give it my all to improve. Also, it has always been my dream to join a territorial invasion cca and finally im able to in this point of my life. So i really hope that i can continue with this cca. But the main thing would be that my grades would have to improve first! I've already promised my teachers that only if i can attain acceptable grades will i then continue with the cca.If not, i would have no choice but to give it up. So i will have to work doubly hard from now on!! HANG IN THERE!!

Oh yah and i got back my pw results already! Got an A!=) Really wanna thanks alot of people for their help especially my group mates for their constant encouragement and guidance. I really couldnt have done it without the help of you guys! A for AFO HAY! Oh but i think many people in my class did not get the grades that they deserved. They should be getting higher marks than me! This really makes me feel that i really dont deserve this grade that im getting. Sigh.

A div

2010-04-07T21:30:00.002+08:00

This past week has been hectic and busy and tiring. This is mostly due to the arrival of A division. Past two weeks odd days were practically all about table tennis. Managed to qualify from the first stage topping the group and faced tpjc today. Won 5 nil and i didnt play. haha. But our school did well by beating ACJC,SAJC and NUS high to get to this stage. Well Done NYTT!! Up next would be RJC. Lets DO THIS!!

However seriously after this competition, i will get to have more time to study and not procrastinate so much. Really hope to score well in my A levels and enter University by my own results this time. Got alot of catching up to do. BUT I WILL DO MY BEST TO ACHIEVE IT!!! LETS GO!! JIAYOU EVERYONE!!

March holidays 2010

2010-03-19T09:18:00.002+08:00

March hoilidays are here! and already halfway gone... Oh man as usual there was a timetable but yet i could not keep up with it, sigh! Well its also been a pretty busy march holidays this year, what with table tennis A div approaching after the holidays, Handball training, extra lessons and tuition. Oh man i gotta concentrate harder from now on! Cant give up! Must get that honour roll!! yep ok this is a short post. gotta rush to school.cya!

Sick again

2010-03-01T23:32:00.002+08:00

OK i am sick again in a matter of weeks. Im not sure why either, but this time the symptoms are abit more severe than the last time. This time i have fever, muscleaches, back pain, sore throat, cough and headache. Well but at least this time at home i managed to study more than last time cos there is an important test tmr!! BIOLOGY!! Hopefully i can pass a lecture test for bio for the first time. Hope GOD will shine his light on me!! Oh yah, and many ppl are also getting sick these days, same symptoms somemore.. Oh man get well soon ppl, Tall-ey and Clarence!!

Oh yah and synod youth sports day just ended. Got third for the soccer adults category but i missed the final penalty for the youth team. So guilty now,sorry guys!!! But through all this, GOD has really showed me that he is really "alive"! i can really see his works in my life now. Yep so i will just leave everything in his hands now and do the best i can.

Oh and Table tennis A division competiton is approaching! Cant wait cant wait, but that means i will have to miss more lessons now. Darn. Oh well, so i just have to put in doubly effort in my studies from now on. And i also found out that handball competition starts on september, OMG which is so close to A lvls! Yea so im really in a dilemma now as many ppl are asking me to quit to focus more on my studies. HOW!?!? But Handball is seriously fun and really gets my mind off things. Whats more, its an invasion game which im finally taking part in competitively after many rejects from my parents to join a soccer school. Yep so im really unsure of what to do. Oh well, for now i will still enjoy myself there. Ok thats it gotta eat my medicine now and sleep early. Toodles!!

dunno what

2010-02-23T23:45:00.002+08:00

Ok posting although i have an econs lecture test tmr.. Will make this short..
Wooo had an awesome time at handball training today!! Although my specs broke like halfway thru the drills, but still the experience today was really good. Thanks wilmer for accepting me in!! Played goalkeeper again today during the short matches cause i still didn't have the confidence to be playing anywhere else. AND HANDBALL IS STARTING TO BECOME ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SPORTS NOW!!! You just cant imagine the thrill when playing it.

Oh and Synod Youth games is this saturday. Cant wait Cant wait. But im still not very sure and confident of the team yet. Although we have already played and trained together inquite a few occasions already, the english and Mandarin side soccer teams are still unable to gel effectively yet. So hopefully on saturday, we will be able to play as one church rather than 2 congregations. Yep ok thats all.. Back to BOP!!

Chinese New Year 2010!

2010-02-16T01:54:00.002+08:00

Its the last day of the chinese new year holidays tomorrow! Okay its not that exciting that the short holiday is ending but its also not that this years CNY was as thrilling as last time either. I dunno, the mood was just not there this year. Maybe it was the programmes and visitations this year, although there seems to only be a tiny bit of changes to the visitations, everything else was the same. So maybe its just me again. Hmm so really sorry to my cousins if this year was not as fun as the previous years!! Oh ya i forgot to start from the first day or rather the day before the holidays began, FRIDAY!! Ok went to school in home clothes for a short celebration organised by the house EXCO. Although i only managed to catch some small glimpses of the programme as i was helping out with the delivering of roses, i think it was pretty well organised and executed by the house exco! Well done! I think overall it managed to capture everyone's attention.

After that headed to bishan for movie with linus with Ms Toh accompanying us there. Caught Avatar finally after many postponement. Quite exciting but i dun think it was enough to give me a brain haemorrhage. haha.. On the way back home, saw esther, wei xiang and Samuel at the mrt heading for lunch.

Then it was new years celebration!! My cousins came back from hong kong, met up with the rest of the family members and ate together alot of times. But still i likedd the atmosphere between all of us. it was awesome!!

well ok school is starting tmr, quite looking forward to it actually..haha so yea, to all readers see you soon and a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

stressed again

2010-02-06T18:13:00.002+08:00

Yet another week has passed, but this time i feel kind of relieved. This week was very hectic and tiring and all for me, what with OGL, cca bazaar and many others. However, no doubt that it was fun, it was still very straineous on the body and mind.Thank GOD that he let there be 5 days of study and 2 days rest, if it was more, i would definitely faint. So, i have to spend this weekend trying to catch up on my schoolwork as well as revision, dun wanna lag behind everyone at the start of the new year.

Well, this week was spent on orientation, cca bazaar, table tennis stuff and being sick. Monday and tuesday was the last 2 days of orientation which was totally great. Nova1 was excellent!! 3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for NOVA!! Their spirit was really great on the last day for the cheering competition as well as for disco night. THANKS NOVA for the wonderful time i had!! Then there was CCA bazaar. As table tennis had already accepted quite a number of students, we did not accept anymore so yea, it was sort of like a longer training session for us. Oh and i so got to start improving now, my confidence level has always caused my doubles team to lose! yea, hope i start to get the feel back!

Then comes the sick part. Did not go to school on thursday due to lack of rest and fatigue. yep, but i managed to lower the pile of homework on my study desk at that time. On friday, we had table tennis bonding session and gathering at bishan!! My juniors are great. Some being more reserved while some are more open. Well, but still, all of them are awesome.Hope we have a good year ahead with them!!

Well, this week was relatively great with many things still remaining the same. But i still dunno what happened...........

Well ok, time to study, seeya!!

OGL

2010-02-03T21:26:00.004+08:00

Orientation is finally over!! Okay not finally, cause it was a very enjoyable, enriching and electric experience and i so did not want it to end! I totally enjoyed it from the first minute of day one to the last in day 4, even if i lost my voice!! My group was fantastic even if they may be a little quiet. At least i managed to talk to everyone of them at least once over the past four days. And at the 3rd and 4th days they even approached me for help in the dances and questions about the school. COOOOLLL!! Speaking of the mass dance, IT WAS AWESOME!!!! I think the whole j1 cohord did extremely well in learning the dance and most of them had fun. I know i did!! MASS DANCE IS THE BEST!!! But i still think we danced it too little! But nevermind, theres always next time.
Also, i made many new friends during the whole orientation, OGL's, councillors as well as the new J1's. THANKS GUYS FOR MAKING THIS OGL EXPERiENCE SUCH A FANTASTIC ONE!!!

Well, gotta get back to reality now, time to hit the books!! Hope to see everyone soon!! =)

Block tests

2010-01-20T13:51:00.002+08:00

Block tests are almost over. Well although its is one of the important tests of j2 life, i cant help but not feel its importance at all. I do feel stressed when i cant finish revising though, but its mostly because of the a levels approaching at the end of the year i guess. Gp was above average, hope i didn't write of of point. Geog was a total disaster for me. Even though i spent the most time revising on it so far, even studying the latest topics, i still had no idea how to do the majority of the questions. Oh Man. What's more, i found out that i did not read one of the lecture notes after doing the paper, which left me totally clueless for a whole question. Hopefully the h2 geog students who are taking the test now will remember all that they have learnt and do better than me.Then there was the gruelling econs yesterday. Although, all the teachers kept stressing that it was going to be an extremely tough paper even with it composing mainly mcqs, i felt that it was better than i thought. However there were some mcqs that gave me a headache. But like always, everytime i say a paper is easy, the results prove the opposite :(. Lastly there's math, this was definitely one of the worst papers i have ever done if not the worst. All the concepts that i memorised till late at night seemed to have disappeared. Yeah so without those formulaes, i couldnt do much. Well i've only got myself to blame for these late studying.

i dunno what happened. was it something i said or did? this has left me pondering for days. Hope u can tell me? :(

Block test coming up

2010-01-14T21:47:00.002+08:00

Okay once again its a long time since i last posted. Whats more, my last post had a mistake, THANKS FANGYIN! hmm, the holidays are over but i have yet to complete all the assignments, especially the bio essays!! oh no. hope mr neo is kind enough to give me more time!!

Ok the past few days of school was above average but especially good when 0903 WON SILVER FOR CAPTAINS BALL!! AWESOME MAN!! GO 0903!! Oh and Elias too. At least we managed to clinch a prize before he leaves for his new class. Next would be the block test. Oh man im even more unprepared then in promos. STRESSED!! hope i can perform ABOVE expectations and improve from my promos!! ok off to study now..see you guys!!

Camp and Bali

2009-12-15T00:33:00.002+08:00

Okay another post again. Well, holidays are seriously breezing and flying past. Its already the 15th and i have not conquered much of the holiday homework yet, let alone study for block test. Oh Man!! Whats more im going off for my church camp on the 16th till the 18th i think, im so gonna miss chatting to my friends on MSN!! SMS ME OKAY?!?! Oh yea and im feeling the heat and kinda stress as im one of the group leaders for the camp. OH MAN. This is my first time and i really have no idea what im supposed to do? I don't think i even look like a group leader, so hopefully i wont be mistaken as a member there. OH MAN. Hope everything goes well and give me a confidence booster for OGL next year.

Oh yea, and my parents have just booked our whole family a trip to Bali on the 31st dec till 3rd december. Oh man, this is piling up further pressure on me and my studies. I seriously hope that i can finish my revision and all this holiday!! And i will miss all my friends once again!! OH MAN!!Can someone form a study group soon please???????

Oh well i shall try to think POSITIVE and look at the BRIGHT side of things and just give it my ALL.

Or else SNAP!!

Hoildays and i needa study!!

2009-12-10T16:48:00.002+08:00

Holidays are already here and soon about to reach the halfway point. But i have yet to really start studying yet. Only did a few chapters of math revision package and 1 chapter of biology. Oh man, how am i going to pass my block tests and complete my mountainous pile of homework in time? SOMEONE MAKE ME STUDY PLEASE!! Whats more, there's a lot of events coming up which will consume much of my already precious time. But even though this takes up alot of time, i would still be willing to attend all of them and meet up with my friends or fulfill my duties and roles that i have taken up. What should i do?

LTC

2009-12-01T23:37:00.004+08:00

Finally back from the 4days 2 nights LTC camp. Made alot of new friends from my group as well as from others, everyone from different ccas and background, especially Bryan, Yun Sheng, Asraf and Jian Fan. Totally wicked and fun time with all of them these past few days, which brought many laughters. We did practically everything together, bathing, Ps-ing, complaining, getting extra food(watermelon). Let me give you a brief summary of what we did for the whole camp:

First Day:

Went to school earlier to learn the Griffindor dance for Yule ball. At 9, proceeded to the grandstand for attendance taking and the start of the 4 days of madness. Firstly, there was briefing by headmaster on some admin matters before the cheering started. Then it was packing time. We had to pack as much stuff as possible into a big china bag and the remaining we had to carry around while playing platform 9 and 3/4s. Thankfully i had really good groupmates who allowed me to put my GIGANTIC bag inside or i would not have been able to carry the whole load round singapore. THANK YOU AWESOME GROUPMATES!! SORRY FOR HAVING TO LET U GUYS HAVE EXTRA WEIGHT IN UR BAGS!!

So basically it was like amazing race and we had to travel around Singapore to find specific locations with clues and completing certain activities there. First up was botanic gardens. We used the school computer to check out the clue and bus route before heading off. However upon arrival at the location. We found out that we had dropped off at the wrong stop and had to walk all the way across the whole garden!! That was the first setback. However, we did not bother complaining much and just tried to get to the place in the fastest time possible. After completion of our tsk, we headed off to the next location which was NUS. However little did we know that NUS had two campus' so when we reached the one close to the botanic gardens we couldnt find the place and had to ask the ppl there. So when we found out it was at Kent ridge, we started to get demoralised. However that did not stop us from getting there. Setback 2. However, after lunch the day went pretty smoothly with exception of waiting for bus 11 which took a super long time to come. After that went to the campsite with the charter bus. It looked really awesome when we touchdowned. The bunks were super cute. There we had another briefing and then dinner before learning the waltz. IT WAS FUN!! We had to get the feel of it at first before we learnt the more complicated moves such as crossing over, hesitation step and THE JUMP. HAHA. The jump was especially funny. After that was bathing and sleep time!

Second Day:

High elements day!! Did rock climbing, vertical challenge, abseiling, flying fox and more! I think i was the first person to complete the rock climbing partly cos i was the first person to try it. Yep and with the help of my teammates cheering and encouragements and also REST!! It felt really awesome to be at the top but the negative thing was hand cramps afterwards and till now. I cant even clasp my fingers properly now. Oh man. Continued after lunch before dinner and facilitation time. However, during kayak workshop, we did a damn large amount of pushups. I couldnt even do it properly and was not even able to feel my arms halfway through the pushups but still managed to complete it. WEAK. After the workshop, we did some complaining time with the guys before bathing and sleeping.

Third Day:

Water elements day! Wooo started off with raft making. Discussed on what our raft should look like first before starting work. In the end, we decided on a dragon boat style kayak. However there was yet another setback, only 2 ppl knew how to tie the ropes, me and asraf. However, being awesome teammates, our groupmates learnt real fast and everyone was tying the raft together in no time. AWESOME!! In the end, altho the knots were messy and raft looked flimsy and unstable, it proved to be the best super raft ever!! This shows that looks can be decieving. It managed to carry all 12 groupmates in it and we stayed in the water for the longest time! We even won the race with the groups rafts! TOTALLY COOL!

This was followed by lunch before our kayaking expedition started. Firstly, since it was my first time kayaking, my muscles ached real fast and had to take lots of breaks and making my partner do most of the work(also partly because of the high elements and pushups). But as i got used to it, it proved to be very enjoyable. But the same prefect just had to make things difficult to some people by taking away some off their paddles. But in the end we all managed to pull through with constant encouragements by everyone. HOORAY!!

Then there was the YULE BALL!! Our performance was very fun!! Although we din win anything, but at least we all gave in our very best into the performances and cheers!! This was followed by waltz dancing and many mass dance songs! GREATEST NIGHT OF CAMP EVER!

Last day:

Basically we took photos and spring cleaning of the entire area. Before heading back to school. Did gym when we got back while waiting for Asraf's exco meeting to end before us weasley guys plus far red head to macs for lunch.

Yep so that was the end of the camp. I learnt an extreme amount of things at camp including being more confident in my abilities as well as making new friends! Cant wait for more camping activities!

But why am i feeling this way?

FRIDAY FRIDAY!!

2009-11-23T21:04:00.003+08:00

Holidays are coming but i do not seem to feel the holiday mood like always. Maybe its because i've been promoted but do not feel that im ready for J2s just yet, or that I just do not want the year to end cause i wouldn't be able to see much of my friends in the holidays, or after Mr Neo's speech today, holidays seem more like a worse time then school days with all the assignments that have to be done. Oh man, SNAP SNAP SNAP, GET THESE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OUT!!! Furthermore, i think im gonna be very busy this holidays even. What with having two soccer matches that have been postponed from not know when. One this friday 27th Nov and the other somewhere in mid Dec. Although this is so going to take up alot of my time, but since these matches were long overdue, and me being the captain, i would have to go on with it. Also, there is LTC from 28th nov to 1 dec. I know it is gonna be a BLAST. But i just hope that i would still have alot of fun from it and learning when my mine is full of stress for the upcoming block tests. From 1 dec onwards to maybe 16th dec i should be quite free but like all holidays, there would definitely be many other activities that have yet to be organised. From 16th to 19th dec I would be having youth church camp! This is a must for me as i have not been spending much time in church and with my church mates this past few months. So yea... Oh man OGLs meeting as well as open house is coming up to! Oh where oh where can i find the time to study! Discipline is definitely needed and hopefully i will be able to learn it this holiday! At least i've a new years resolution this year...

XBOX DAY

2009-11-21T23:52:00.002+08:00

Wooo back to posting. Well first of all i would like to give you all i glimpse of my friend Leonard in action. Enjoy.

Well anyway went to Zuo Yi's house today with Lance for some XBox action.WOOOOOO.Played tons of different games such as TopSpin, Pure, Lego Batman, Halo, Dead or Alive,Fifa07 and many more. Average in all those games, but i know i kept killing "Chu Ming" in Halo, While ZuoYi kept winning in DOA when its her first time playing. One word: AWESOME. Her legs are so powerful, defeating us all with ease. After that, played Lego Batman for quite a while before watching Kung Fu Dunk with Zuo Yi and her brothers after Lance left. Well all in all it was an exciting, hilarious, enjoyable and absoluty electric day for me. Thanks YIIIII for the Pizza,Drinks,XBox, time, kind hospitality and electricity today. Totally enjoyed myself. And i know Lance did too!!=) Hope we can still find time to gather together and play again next year but with more friends and in years to come too!=)

Oh yea and there just might might be a chance that we will be having a match on 27th Nov against the sec 4s and another against SJI team in Mid Dec. hopefully this time we can pull through and play an actual match.Its been such a long time and im starting to miss the adrenaline rush.SO do pray for us!! THANKS:) and good night!

Training

2009-11-17T21:13:00.002+08:00

In sports, I've always been focusing on my greatest attributes. I either always hide them if i dont know whats wrong by putting greater effort in what im good at or . But I ALWAYs give my all in trying to improve myself everytime! Although the progress is mostly slow and my efforts usually are not seen, BUT i always try. But after those words came out, surprisingly i wasnt angry but very confused. Although i know you've told me many times before, but many different coaches have told me to do things differently. So every session when u tell me what i should improve on, i always try to change but my old habits usually come back as im either more used to them i find more success in using them. I know i shouldn't be criticising after what you've helped me achieve, improving my leg movement as well as my attacking mentality. But i feel that i would still like to play with more freedom and not like a robot, who follows every order of what is expected in every situation. Also, although allowing me to serve alone in a corner while the others continued playing matches had helped improve me, but deep down i was seriously hurt and my pride was crushed,totally. I know u are a good, like what many have told me, but, i dunno, maybe its just me, like everything else.

Anyway, i dunno why i posted this, maybe its cause i din want anyone to be affected by me, so after this post, i shall return back to my old ways and be happy!! Dun be sad and cheer up especially my bestest friend!! sorry for the emoness!!

Results

2009-11-17T00:30:00.002+08:00

Got back results slip today. Was seriously shocked to the max at first but having mixed feelings after that. First of all, i am surprised and glad that i managed to promote to the next level. Really thankful to all my friends especially haha duo, YY4 and ESSSSSSSSSSTHER, for all ur encouragments and believing in me all the time! However,i feel kind of guilty and sad cause there are really many schoolmates and friends out there who are more hardworking and smarter then me but yet, not promote. SNAP. Oh man. People i shall not name. Well, sad too because many of my classmates i will not be seeing in the same class next year.Im sorry that i might have taken one of ur places cos i know ur deserve it more than me definitely!SNAP. oh man. But i'll always say hi to u guys when i see ur okay!! Remember not to forget me too all right!! YOU GUYS WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF 0903!! ONCE AN 0903ian, always an 0903ian!! WOOOOOOOO!!
Well, after all this, i just started to think about what i would be doing next. With this results, i am definitely not ready for Alvls. Which is even worse.SNAP. OK enough of this negative talk.

Anyway YIIIIIIII gave me a book today!! Awesome To the max man!! XIE XIE NI!!=) It contained a book, a handwritten card and a wristband all tied up like a present. VERY HAPPY NOW!! I shall read it when i have time though i doubt i will be as brilliant.SNAP.

Ok went to east coast park to cycle after school despite the small drizzle. Although my shirt became really dirty after that, it was still fun but tiring. Also, we managed to enter NSRCC for a short bath before cycling back and returning the bike. After that,went to changi airport to eat popeyes for dinner before heading home. reached home at like 11 plus. Fun, sad, yuan yang day today. Hope everyone would be in cheered up mood tomorrow! SMILE PPL! AND GET WELL SOON BELOVED FRIEND!!=)

2009-11-15T13:23:00.002+08:00

Well i still have to thank GOD for guiding me through this period as well as the promos period and also giving me such good friends such as the STUDY THREEO:) and YY4=)!! Always staying back to study with me. At least you guys did well and im HAPPY!!=) Regardless of what we all get, i'll smile cause we've all done our very best!! SO, SEE U GUYS TMR!! MISS U ALL!!

Class outing

2009-11-13T11:27:00.002+08:00

Thanks to all who went for the outing yesterday, appreciate it! For me, i felt it was very enjoyable and fun! Hope u guys think so too! Went for a dip in the sea, soccer, volleyball, eating session, talking and also some who played pictionary! The dip in the sea was refreshing and almost had to be towed by the rest into the sea. ZuoYi joined us too in the end. Shao hua was especially hilarious on that day cause he needed to do something before he could enter the water.HAHA. So we played captains ball, water splashing, sand throwing underwater as well as HTHT session in the water. It was nice to have this=).

Then came the volleyball game with some CJC people. They were seriously very pro to me. Since i don't know how to play volleyball and lousy at it, i din make a single contribution in the first match and our team lost eventually. But in the process, something happened to ShaoHua which i shall not comment further. However thanks to Zuo Yi's comforts,advice and encouragement after my every mistake, i started to focus during the next match. Elias, lance and the rest too continued giving support and their game too improved! NY015 won in the end!! Woooooo!!

Yea then went back to vivo after a nice bath for dinner before cathing 2012. The show was nice and one of the nicest i've seen in a long time. But i felt that too many good people died and it shouldnt be that way!! There were also some touching and emotional moments in the show and i felt i could relate to them in real life. Overall it was a good movie, partly because it was also 2 1/2 hours long!

After that went back home via MRT with the rest and alot of people seemed extremely tired and exhausted. Yep and thats all!

PW OVER

2009-11-12T00:39:00.002+08:00

PW is officially over!! Dunno whether to feel happy or sad. Firstly, although i might have improved on my public speaking and presentation, i feel that i have not done enough at all and could have done better. Oh well, its me, what do you expect? Well, although this means that there is a lesser workload for us now, and more time to study, but it also means that school term is ending soon and monday the 16th is appraching. So little time left. Also really love my class, especially YY 4 and PW groupmates!! Awesome time we had together and hope it continues next year!!

Anyway had alot of fun today. Firstly went to watch DVDs with YIIII in the morning. Awesome time with one show being quite touching and the other funny but kinda muted.Yea so it was quite balanced.HAd a great time there:) After lunch, Yiiii went for training while i went to play Table tennis and tennis with nick at his condo!! Table tennis was very enjoyable and hilarious at the same time. Snaked, laa-ed, tiger pounced, xiao-ed, served, fan laa-ed and many more. After that tennis till super tired with nick and his mum. Ate ice cream after that before heading home.

Tmr will be a super fun day as well!!( i hope). Class outing tmr to sentosa. Coincidentally, nick's class will also be there too!! So we might be able to meet up and have an interschool gathering!! AWESOME!! haha. But seriously hope it turns out fine, cos its my first time organising!! Yea and hope our bonds can become stronger too!! YEP so stay happy =)

HAPPY AND MANU VS CHELSEA!!

2009-11-08T23:48:00.003+08:00

Gonna be a happy person from now on so as to not affect everyone and anyone. So you don't emo too ok?:) Yep, no matter what, our bonds will stay strong all the way. SMILE=)

Oh and chelsea vs manu now!! hope manu loses!! ahhaha

SORRY

2009-11-06T00:19:00.002+08:00

I AM SO SORRY, Z,E and L. Sorry for all the hurt i've caused u guys. I tried to do something that was never within my reach, something that a useless guy like me will never be able to do. Yes. I tried to help but instead, complicated things even more, making it far worse then it was. Yes i am solely the one to blame and not anyone else. I have crushed all your trust for me and have done something i should not have done. So I AM SORRY. Looks like my want to help everyone has finally caused more harm than good to all. Sorry, looks like i've only been trying to help in what i thought was right and not depend on HIM much. Will be praying for forgiveness and hope that you will all forgive me too.
I AM SORRY... Please do not be upset and especially not blame yourselves..

USELESS

2009-11-02T23:59:00.002+08:00

USELESS,Yea thats the word. Feeling like this lately and can't even do a single thing right these days. There are just too many to name such as cant really help my friends much in terms of problems and studies. Also for training, one time i can win everything and the next i lose everything. studies, i cant even reach the normal promotional criteria and for chinese A levels, i too, cannot safely say that i can score well for it. What is wrong? Maybe its just meant to be or that i've hit some rough patch, hope it turns around soon. Wonder how i would fare for my upcoming soccer match too. I don't even know what to think now. Everytime im confident, i perform badly. Everytime im pressured, i produce only half of what im capable of. Only when i have nothing to lose do i perform my best. But, with so much to lose, does it mean i will never be able to perform again? Hopefully things can turn around and i can jump out of this depressed slump and not affect those around me. Hopefully this soccer match coming up will just let me release everything couped within me and let me perform the best ever of my life, and to just play it for fun. Hopefully.....

After promos results

2009-10-28T23:11:00.002+08:00

Well, its been quite a long time since promos ended and gotten back my results. Saying that im shocked would be an understatement. Im seriously totally shocked and surprised by the results i got back. i thought i could at least pass my GP,Math and Econs. Instead........ZZZZZ... Studied so hard for this too=(. Seriously doubting my own ability now.
Ok at least these past few weeks, i've already calm myself down and gotten over the bad results and accepted the fact about next year IF it occurs. I'll leave everything to HIM now. And i would also like to thank all those who've comforted me in these times especially STUDY TRIO, Elias,Shao Hua, FangYin and many more. Thanks!!!
Well i can only keep my faith now and just carry n with life and spend my time with my classmates more wisely. Oh and im having a soccer match soon!! Probably on 13th or 14th Nov. DO COME AND SUPPORT!!!
Yep thats all gotta do my PW now... cya=)!!

after promos

2009-10-21T19:14:00.003+08:00

One big event and another major one has passed while 2 more are coming up before the start of a new year. The big one being promos while the major one is CLASS CHALET!! Hope i can promote with the class after trying and mugging so hard before the exams. I think it was the hardest mugging that i ever did my entire life. Even more than the big O's as well as training for soccer matches. I seriously hope i can at least scrape through and not let many people down. promote promote promote....

Well but the major one is CLASS CHALET, which im sad to say, is already over with a blink of an eye. Well, they say time flies when ur having fun and i totally agree with that. Played bowling, pool, monopoly, manicure service, watch movies, rollerskates and BBQ. This bunch of friends i have now are really a blessing to me especially Yuan Yang 4 and Study Trio plus many others which im not naming. They are not only a joy to be with but also very helpful in times of need. Yea so hopefully all of us can still stick together and promote next year!! Oh and im also not forgetting my sec school friends as well.. Although its been quite a long time since we had a gathering but their always inviting me to all the events and hoepfully we will still be as close as before. YEP so all the best for friday everyone!! Stay strong.

Then the next BIG things coming up are A level chinese and PW oral presentation. Hope we can all do well together after all the preparations we've been through just for that day to come. NO STRESS!!

Anyway, thinking of organising a class outing to SENTOSA one of these days, and a whole day thing. Any suggestions on the dates??

promos approaching

2009-09-16T22:15:00.004+08:00

Past 2 weeks or so have been quite fruitful, either nighting or studying with the study trio or else attending tuition. I think i could have been alot more fruitful if i had a longer concentration span or if i was smarter, oh well. Anyway past two sundays, apart from going to church, there were 2 FraterniteFC matches. Having not played for them for like a few years, we finally got our chance after our captain came back to singapore for a few weeks. As usual, the teams we were up against would leave any soccer fans drooling. Firstly there was the NJC soccer team for the first sunday and Honda FC, which consisted of over 22 players for the next.

Against the NJC team, i was full of confidence before the match cause of the huge amounts of practice i had put in as playing striker on saturday games with Kaieros players. Yea and this is coupled by the fact that im having a 3 goals in two games record. So brimming with confidence, we started of the game. However from what any neutrals can see( if they had been watching the match), they would think that i did not know how to play soccer as i was practically the worse player for the whole game. With many misplaced passes, miscontrolled balls and poor shooting, it was a wonder how i was able to keep my place in the starting lineup for the whole match. The most glaring mistake would be that of me missing a shocking open goal.Would u believe that?!?! It all came from a high backpass to the opponents keeper who mistimed his punt, which allowed the ball to bounce past him. And the onrushing me could not even properly recieve the ball with my chest and the chance was wasted. Also, i was practically flying around the whole match, not because i was a fast sprinter but because of how i weak i was compared to the opponents. Everytime a had the ball, one barge and i would be sent flying 10m away. Oh and my defending was atrociously bad too, and at least 2 of the goals that the team conceded was really partly my fault. Even though a goal a scored was ruled out, my overall rating was still LOW. Yea so that was practically the worse match i had ever played. It sent my confidence to an all time low after that and really showed me that i was not as good as i thought i was. Final score NJC4-0 FraterniteFC

As for Honda FC, due to the errors that i commited in the previous match, i felt really inferior and apologetic to all my teammates. However the team were really encouraging and just told me to continue to do what i do best. So i continued in my lone striking role and supported by the wingers. In the first half, did not make much of an impact as i was only starting to warm up and getting the feel of the ball as well as timing the runs. Although we went to nil down early in the first half, the never say die spirit in-built within all FFC players started working within us, with the defenders holding out well and denying the opponents chances by closing down quickly and efficiently. The only 2 notable contributions i made in the first half would be that of a deflected cross which found no one and a shot from a corner which resulted in an easy tap in for our team. GOAL 2-1 half time.

At the second half, things started to get heated up a bit, with my fouls and time wasting being commited. However it was because of one of these fouls that resulted for our equalising goal. From a dead ball situation near the half way line, out captain Wilkie, whipped in a delicate but yet deft chip-shot, which fooled practically everyone, even teammates, and sailed into the top corner of the net. GOAL!! 2-2. With new found confidence, even the opponents increasingly viscious play were not able to overwhelm us. Chances were continually created but were mostly spurned before we got to the penalty box, me being the main culprit with yet more misplaced and mistimed passes. However, from a quick counter attack, a through pass to Yu Shao who returned the ball to me sent me free towards goal. With the defenders all caught off guard and appealing for offside, this gave me a chance. Before shooting, my mind was a total blank and my heart seemed to want to burst out as nervousness crept all around me. Luckily i managed to shoot pass the keeper's outstretched hands to score the winner! Phew finally i ended my 1 match goal drought. Well and that was almost it. What a comeback!!

study and games

2009-09-10T23:49:00.000+08:00

Been going back to school alot lately, not just to play and chat but to study as well. However i think im only seriously starting to really mug only today. Finished econs unemployment and economic growth notes as well as econs essay 8b today. Also, i got my proposal done!! Phew!! It was also partly thanks to ESSSSSSSSSSSSSSTHER and ZuoYi who spurred me on to complete my econs homework by continuously reminding me the time whenever i got distracted. "3 o'clock ah!!" they would say.

However it was not a work and no play for today. At around 5 o'clock, at the closure of the library, we went down for some games time!! Yeah today was supposed to be volleyball and i think we played for around half an hour. I think my hands are starting to adapt to the hitting of the ball as it was not as pain before. However im still quite bad at it as i cant even aim properly and my setting is still really really bad. Well so i had to make up for that with running!! All in all it was still a very fun experience for me. After that, we also played abit of basketball, soccer and Table tennis with the ball. It was both fun and hilarious at the same time. It was only at 6.20 where we went for our dinner at happy duck!

After dinner it was back to hitting the books for all of us, with me completing my economic growth notes. Yea it was really very fruitful today and hopefully it will remain like this without my attention span decreasing.

Table tennis and pw!!

2009-09-09T00:50:00.003+08:00

The september holidays seem to be moving very quickly. OH NO!! Im lagging behind like crazy and i dont think i will be able to finish studying and revising at this rate. The holidays started off with math lecture on monday which was kinda ok as the time passed by quite fast then. After the lecture, i managed to finish my vectors tutorial 10A and started on 1oB..WOOOO!!! Also, some of us managed to play some tennis as well. The session was awesome and hilarious at the same time. It was fun all the same. =)

As for today, we had math tutorial. Ms Liang brightened up the whole class by buying oreo and mentos for us which kept most of us wide awake and at full attention during the whole tutorial. XIE XIE!! Then, ran off to macs with Andy,ZuoYi, Esther,Elias,Lance and some others to buy our lunch home to eat. The studying cum Pw cum table tennis session at my house was kinda fruitful as i managed to do some math, finished the wr as well as play table tennis. Everyone was really really very good in table tennis and i guess all of us had alot of fun too?? haha.. Yeah. And we also had some chit chatting session before the rest headed for home. Yeah so thats how the holidays have been so far. Seriously hope i can really start my full throttle studying soon!!

september hols

2009-09-06T00:03:00.000+08:00

Whee the much awaited holidays are here!! But sadly,i think this would be the worst september holidays for me, EVER!! Just thinking about it makes me stressed and sick. Cause with every passing day now, comes a day closer to the promotional exams. I really think that im going to retain this year. Oh man. Also, many of my classmates, both former and current nes are feeling really low now just thinking bout the examination. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!! For those who have always been doing well, aim for honour roll or top of cohort!! As for those who aren't doing as well, just study hard from now on and you will definitely make it!!

Anyway spent my first day of holidays today doing alot of things. Firstly, participated in my Dad's banks family day, and spent the day cycling at ECP. It was quite enjoyable as its been a while since i last rode a bicycle. After that i rushed for my Math tuition class. As the teacher was revising on vectors, i gained alot of knowledge today as im very blur about vectors still. Hopefully after this fruitfull session, i am able to at least move on to some more challenging questions. Then after that, rushed for the Horseshoe crab S-L trip at Kranji. Thank GOD i made it there in time. Well the trip was quite enjoyable and i learnt alot from it. Picked up ALOT of rubbish at the muddy area and i also managed to catch a glimpse of a real life horseshoe crab in action!! Marvelous creatures they are. yea, so basically the whole trip was awesome, but the only low point being me having to throw my shoes and socks away due to the mud stuck to them. Well at least what came after that cheered me up a bit. we went for dinner at causeway point and once again i was unable to finish my food. ZZZZZ. Then went to timezone with the guys where they played many games. Actually i had not intended to play any games, but after seeing countless people and Esther and Zuo Yi enjoying and screaming inside a motion simulator ride, me and Linus decided to go for a "spin" as well. And after countless wooooo's and AAAAAAAHHH's, the ride ended. But i didn't know why my eye hurt after the ride, must have been the dust from the air vent inside the simulator. Well, but all in all, it was very enjoyable.

Well thats all for today, GOOD Luck all for ur exams and GOD BLESS!!

Back to AHS

2009-08-31T21:30:00.000+08:00

Teacher's Day was here and gone. Didnt manage to go back to my primary school due to a lack of time so i had to make do with my secondary school only. Well before that we had our ACES day workout and some performances. the workout was Awesome cause havent been doing it since primary school days. Flower and Ferris Wheel!! Too bad we didnt get to dance the 31st mass dance or else i would be even more AWESOME!! But it was enough to make me stinky all over, sorry all those around me!!!! But we also got our long awaited class tee today!! It looks cool and the material is very comfortable. All thanks to the committee for making such a wonderful shirt.

Well after that it was back to AHS. Managed to make it in time after taking a cab down. But along the way, the driver forgot to turn on the meter and in the end he only charged me 10 dollars, way below the usual price.

Well met up with Choon Hwee before heading to school. There, we practically saw the whole 4G'08 class with only a few exceptions. managed to catch up with my teachers as well even those that taught me in sec 1, so touched that they still remember me.haha.

After that we went to the usual AHS hangout,SIMPANG, for our lunch with some AHS schoolmates to catch up. Zi jie and CherYong met us there and we chatted for a while before we went for some soccer action at AHS.

Well, i've been training striking for some time now and still really cant get the hang of it, constantly shooting straight to the keeper or not able to fully control. Also i feel that when playing as i striker, it seeems very selfish as well, as my only goal was to shoot. So, sorry guys for always shooting for the past few soccer sessions!! Well at least i started to focus more on my passing at the last 3 goals and i think its better that way.Hopefully the assisternotscorer will come back soon.

Felt kinda blue on the way home, but after a good nap, well, its all gone,haha. Back to my usual self again------i hope.

teachers day

2009-08-30T23:29:00.000+08:00

Tmr is teachers day and what comes after that will be a holiday.Finally i'll be able to have another full day to study. Have to really focus THIS time having already wasted so much time slacking and procrastinating previously. Well enough of that, tmr is teachers day, why am i spoiling the mood right??

We have to go to school at 7.15 tommorrow but at least we will be doing alot of dances and the aces workout!! Havent done it for a looooooong time and is a tantalising event for me to look forward to. However school ending at 11 really puts me in a stick. My secondary school ends at 12.50 and if i were to make it there in time i would have to rush all the way there straight after school. But if i go to my secondary school first, i would have to come back all the way to my primary school. Oh man what to do?? I've even bought all the gifts and stuff. Well, hope that HE provides a pathway for me!! haha...

Anyway hopefully there will be a soccer session or sports class outing tommorrow.Its been ages since we last caught up with each other. Really looking forward to it.

Oh and im also looking forward to the Fraternite match NEXT WEEK!!! It will be held somewhere in a school in Bishan. Do come and support us!!

Teachers Day!!

2009-08-29T00:21:00.002+08:00

Phew past few week has been crazy, and weeks have gone by with a blink of an eye. Had many tests, mainly econs,math and geog essay being the most significant ones. At least there was still joy within all this madness with me being able to know what im writing for econs for the first time, and understanding functions more now. Also PE has been really great as we got to train for our netball tournament coming up soon!! GO SHAOLIN BALLS!! Well, but i've still got alot to work on, especially my stamina and defending. Couldn't run for the whole hour and was panting like crazy after the whole PE session. Also my defending was atrociously bad, just like in soccer. Oh Man, the match is coming up, gotta step up my game fast. haha. Oh also got to play volleyball with Linus,Shao Hua,Esther and Zuo Yi after PE. Woooo was really fun though i was super bad at it, constantly hitting the ball too far away and needing the opponents to chase after it. Well, Promos is just around the corner, 30 plus more days and just to little time to finish studying!! Oh and theres still FraterniteFC match to look forward to.Hopefully i can regain my strikers instinct before the match as well.
Well ok i think you guys must be bored by now, having to read about my week(s). Cya guys soon!!

STRESSED FOR PROMOS!!

2009-08-11T23:30:00.000+08:00

STRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSEDSTRESSED
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Oh man really really really feeling stressed for promos nowadays. Have been feeling sleepy very often, constant mind blocks and brain strains. Oh man.. How can i concentrate at this rate?? Not sure why im feelin so stressed too. Maybe its due to the fact that im aiming for honour roll? Even im surprised that im pushing myself so hard fr something thats close to impossible to obtain. oh man what to do??

National day

2009-08-08T00:36:00.002+08:00

Today is the school's National Day celebration. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!....In advance... Well, yeah we got half school day, which was awesome due to the fact that that half was spent on playing the inaugrual INTER-CLASS CAPTAIN'S BALL!! It was totally awesome you know. Our Team consisted of Me, Linus, Andy, ZuoYi, Michelle, YIAKUAN, ZhiJian, Elias, Joled and Lance. However i would especially like to thank the whole class who came to support us. It was great, to be able to here the cheers when we scored a point, laughter when we did something hilarious, claps when we made a good move as well as the constant spurring us on that all of u gave us.THANK YOU!! It was all because of you guys that created our comeback against the first two teams, motivating all of us(I was definitely MOTIVATED!!) to put in more effort. However, despite the eventual loss to a better team, what counts was the new and stronger bonds and spirit created in the class, with all the different cliques and individuals coming together as one, united together around the court. To me, it even seemed that there was not seven individuals but rather ONE 0903 playing on the pitch not to win, but to have fun and do our best for each other. Once again, a big THANK YOU to all 0903 students!!OH YAH and nice one KELVIN, nice run although i wasn't there to see it.

Well anyway i cant wait for tmr, gonna have a sports class outing finally.
Gonna be great as always.Cant wait cant wait to see leonard, shawn,kaieros and the rest.

ok thats all for today ciao!

Honour roll

2009-07-30T21:52:00.000+08:00

Nothing much about today except that i suddenly felt very motivated after todays CT speech by the principal. Hopefully this will be one of the main turning points in my life. Well after today's speech, i just felt really useless as Mr kuek made scoring A's in all subjects so easy, with all subjects only requirng us to apply concepts and our reading to the papers. But if it were so easy, why did i not do well? After pondering over this for a long time, it made me feel even more depressed. However, it also motivated me to start putting more effort into my studies from now on and hope for a better future for me. This is my only hope left as im neither a good table tennis player nor a good speaker. This coupled with my oh-so-sky-high L1R5 puts me in a really big disadvantage here due to the lack of strong foundations. Also even though i've constantly bragged about being modestly good in soccer, i was never proven on the big stage like in school teams but only in outside teams(Which im very proud of.GO KAIEROS AND FRATERNITE!) Guess i'll not only have to put in double the effort in studies but more than quintuple of it. Hmmmm oh well...

Well on a brighter note Zuo Yi excelled and got THE Honour Roll, doing our whole class proud!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! hahaha. Another person that i think should also have gotten the honour roll would be BIO PARTNERRRRR~. She just missed it by 1 point. Oh well, its only a matter of time till she gets it anyway for such a smart person. No wonder shes my BIO PARTNERRRR~. Well lets just hope more of 0903 people will be able to stand proud on the stage to recieve the certificate next time!! GOOD LUCK GUYS and WORK HARD!!

mid year results

2009-07-29T00:23:00.002+08:00

AH finally after a long and barren period, im finally posting again. Well its been long since i got back my mid year results and i cant say im happy with my results as well as not satisfied with them. Kind of mixed emotions really.But i think i got what i deserved for most of them except for 2 of my H2 subjects, Biology and Economics. I had already worked my socks off for these to major papers but still failed them terribly. Well i guess i would just have to double my efforts in studying AND memorising for these 2 subjects so as to prevent having to face retaining.

Also theres a couple more tests coming soon in this 2 weeks. Really hope that i can do well in them in reparation for the end of year promotional examinations. Wishing all of you guys the best of luck as well!!

2009-06-27T19:35:00.007+08:00

Another scintillating match between the Sec 4's and Kaieros have passed, with much squandered chances, contoversial moments, brilliant goals, important tackles as well as plenty of drama. Well to start of, this match was supposed to be Kaieros against NS TEAM, but because of certain inevitable events, the opposing team were not able to make it and hence Kaieros had the chance to play against the sec 4's yet again. Kaieros named a much changed team with a few new talented signings such as the muscular defensive linchpin Li Meng, a versatile and strong player Robert who is able to play in both defense and midfield and last but not the least Jeremy, a discipline defender scouted by the kaieros ace ZJ.

Kaieros started of really well for the first 5 mins, passing through the whole of the sec 4's team, however, with all the possesion at that moment, they failed to create a single clear cut chance. With this, the sec 4's gained momentum and confidence and started to gain the upperhand.

With all the dominance, they soon scored their first goal, with their star midfielder Chi Min weaving through the defence through the right wing before unleshing an unstoppable long range effort which beat the keeper. Even being a goal down did not change the tempo of the Kaieros players, with many players still making misplaced passes, ball watching. With that, Nick, the star fullback of the team had to be reshuffled back to take on the speedy Chi Min. Hence it was very surprising that got an equaliser just before the break against the run of play. It came from a defence spliting pass which an opponent defender tried intercepting before it could reach the onrushing Teng Rui.However he failed to get the in time and only managed to punt the ball right towards his own goal. To prevent the goal, Their keeper ZHOU YANG, not knowing whether it was a backpass or not only managed to push it away at the last moment. From this confusion, Teng Rui capitalised on it and struck the ball neatly into the bottom corner of the net, which erased of his two missed headers from close distance. 1-1.

At the restart, Sec 4's continued to pressure, constantly trying to enter the penalty box. However the defenders did well to contain them, especially Ryan, who did a sliding tackle to unbalance an opponent from shooting. Because of that, he got an abrasion at his left thigh and had to be substituted out for Raymond. Soon after it was half time.

During half time, views and opinions of all the players were discussed, with tactics and a rearrangement of player positions the focal point. The main change would be Hong kai replacing Yi Cheng as the keeper, and Jeremy being replaced due to fatigue. Also despite his injury recieved, ryan was still willing to brave the challenges and continue at centre defence if needed.

With that, it was the 2nd half kick off.

Once again, the Kaieros team talk did not seem to work much with the sec 4's continuously dominating the midfield area and spraying passes to their dangermen up front. It was also due to one of this long balls into the penalty area which lead to a controversial penalty given. Although it wasn't a hand ball, a penalty was still given to them much to the frustration of Li Meng who was the victim of the incident. the penalty taker made no mistake from the spot, 2-1.

With that conversion, the morale of Team Kaieros plunged greatly, now not even able to keep the ball out of their own half. Losing to the sec 4's for the first time seemingly inevitable. However, when there was only 10mins left, a sudden and rare surge from a few Kaieros players managed to get the ball to the feet of substitute Matthew Mohan. With quick feet, he found space at the left corner of the box and blasted a lowshot towards goal. Zhou Yang did not react fast enough and only managed to parry the shot------right into the winger Yi Cheng's path, who cooly slotted the ball home for the second equaliser.2-2

With that goal, the Kaieros player managed to obtain new-found confidence, with more determination in their passing. Soon after, a fine cross from ZiJie found matthew who headed in from close range.

But that was not all, with the belief fully instilled in the Kaieros players, a fine pass to Hong Kai who did well in fooling his marker before applying a deft touch to the ball to divert the ball to Ryan who rammed the ball into the net!! GOAL!! The comeback was complete with Ryan and Ming Swee's Celebrations saying it all.

Even the late goal from the sec was not enough to stop Team kaieros and only proved to be a consolation.

Goal of the season for Kaieros by Ryan

Hmm.. while relaxing, i managed to catch a glimpse of young soccer talents from youtube. So i have decided to compile a list of my young players XI.Young players meaning under 25. Enjoy..
Well firstly for the goalkeeper, it would be none other then Manuel Neuer from Schalke 04. At the age of 24 he has already become a main player for his team as well as a potential German National team keeper in the near future. Not only does he have the looks of a Star, he has natural reflexes and reations as well. This can especially be seen during the match against Porto in the champions league where he continually denied the porto team to singlehandedly keep his team in the game. For me, i feel that he can be the best in the world in the future. Heres a shot clip of him on how he managed to save schalke from champions league elimination all by himself in just one game.

As for my left-back, it would be Arsenal's Gael Clichy. Yeah, although he is still a young player and all, he is already a proven left-back for both Arsenal at left-back and France. His best asset would be his burst of speed which has left many players eating his dust, dribbling and well-timed tackles. Anyone who has all these assets are rare to come by hence explaining my choice. Heres a short clip of him.

Next would be the right-back. For that i have chosen Sergio Ramos. Not only is he versatile and able to play in any defensive position, he also has a scorers and attackers instinct which has enabled him to score many goals in his glittering career so far.He is also comfortable in beating attackers and going past them even in dire situations. It is no wonder Real signed him for 27million euros with spain also calling him into the National squad. For a person so skilled, it is a surprise that he is only 23.

As for many centre-backs, they would be the italian Giorgio Chiellini and the Englishman Micah Richards. The latter because he is both physically strong and quick in dealing tough oppositions. He is also able to convert into a right back if needed too. Although he has hit an all time low of form recently, i still regard him as one of the best in defence. As for Giorgio, he is similar to Richards as he too can be converted into a fullback, for his case the left. He has good positional sense and has a brilliant mind in reading the game. For me, i feel that he could eclipse His former teammate and captain, Fabio Cannavaro into being the best defender around as he is a much better dribbler, faster and still improving. Hence with these two in the heart of defence, keeping clean sheets in almost all the games would be common.

Now for the midfielders. For my defensive midfielder and controller of my engine room, i have chosen Javier Mascherano or also known as El Jeficito which means the little chief, the Liverpool player and captain of Argentina's National team. I dont have much to say about him actually just that he is one of the most complete footballers around in terms of skill. He is a brilliant tackler of the ball, no doubt hard but also very fair, reads the game well leading to interceptions, hard hitter of the ball and also a great passer. However, he still has alot to improve on his temperament as he is always quick to argue and retaliate as can be seen on the heated match against Manchester United where he was sent off. However, aside from this, he is still a sensational player, one everyone would like to have in his team.

As for my wingers, i chose David Silva and Ashley Young. Both these players are able to play on either wings allowing them to switch flanks with each other seamlessly.Both these players are good dribblers of the ball as well as accurate crossers. Hence they will be able to deliver telling crosses and good deliveries for my strikers to score. belows a clip on the winger- David Silva

Sebastien Giovinco would then be my choice in Attacking midfield and playmaker of the team. Although he is an amazing dribbler of the ball, he is very unselfish and prefers to assist rather then go for glory by himself. Also, he is only 1.64m in height making him one of the smallest in professional football and easily ousted and shoved by the rest. However, he does not let his size stop him from playing the game but instead doing mazy runs around the bigger players and assisting for others to score. With that, although he may be the smallest in my team, he plays the most crucial role in helping the attackers and providing them with chances.

Now for the final 2 strikers. Fernando Torres and Sergio Aguero. Both played for Atheletico Madrid and hence would have some understanding between them. Furthermore, Torres can play as a main striker while Aguero plays as a second striker. Not only that, both are speedy and good attackers of the ball, no matter with their head or feet.
Sergio Aguero

Fernando Torres

Well thats it. Your opinions may be different from mine or i may have forgotton some players as well as not known others. But nvm. Hope u enjoyed the videos anyway.

june hols

2009-05-30T00:24:00.002+08:00

YAY!! Completed my first ever mid year GP paper exam in JC.. Cool eh? Well, overall it was quite okay, sort of new what i was going to write before i even wrote it. Managed to think of quite alot of examples which is like wow!! Just really glad thats its all over and can have the june holidays to catch up with my studies and to prepare for the mid years after that. Ironic right? to feel happy to be able to study during the june holidays. Well at least i can get the occasional breaks here and there now and i also just filled my holidays up with tuition classes, soccer, outings and trainings!! well ok thats it for now, off to study chinese, thanks for reading!!!

quick

2009-05-24T01:07:00.002+08:00

Just a quick post before i continue studying..
The last week has been quite a fruitful one as i started paying more lessons in tutorials and lectures, started thinking through on what the teachers have been saying and also starting to revise for mid years examinations. But most of all were the trainings!! They totally rock man as i got to understand more about table tennis and how to better use my chang jiao and la balls better now. Also coach trained me individually for the first time last wednesday, how cool is that. After that intense training session, i felt really drained showing the lack of fitness i have.haha. However the feeling of playing table tennis now is really good and almost equivilant to playing soccer. Not only does it give me a sense of satisfaction after every succesful consecutive la of the ball im also starting to want to be in the first team next year. So im really trying hard nowadays, more than usual, to break into the already good team. However due to all this trainings and studying, din really have much time to catch up with my Sec school friends and soccer. Really missing them now. And also missing the adrenaline rush of soccer, after every defense-splitting pass and dribble. Hope i get to do more of this things during the holidays, which is just a week away!! Ok thats all.. back to books...

past few weeks

2009-05-19T20:56:00.002+08:00

Phew these have been a very hectic and busy few weeks. Firstly with the getting of many lecture test results, then the Volleyball Finals and also the Shaolin Balls. Well firstly let me talk about my results. As usual did very badly for most of them with the exception of the geog paper which we did like more then 8 weeks ago and hes only returning us now!! I really did not expect to get anything out of this paper let alone pass it. A miracle has really happened,praise be to GOD. Well i cant expect to be complacent and expect this kind of luck everytime so i have to cut of some slack and study hard from now on. With all the PW deadlines, homework, tests and holiday camps coming up, i would really have to spend my time extremely wisely jusst like saving money.
As for the volleyball finals, it was really very exciting, partly because it was my first time watching volleyball and the match had to be of world-class standard. The girls played brilliantly and totally thrashed VJC. They even managed to overcome a large deficit at the 3rd set to deny their opponents a single set win. However the boys were just not so lucky. Although i could see that they were using up more than 100 percent of their willpower and also putting what they learnt from training to good use, they still did no manage to overpower HCJC. It was stil a very good try though as the HCJC guys were far bigger and taller than our players. Still NYJC-ians all appreciate the effort that the guys have put in!!
And finally there was the Shaolin balls. Well actually shaolin balls is our team name for a futsal competition in our school. Although we did not manage to proceed to the finals, we sure had alot of fun and felt a sense of accomplishment. We started of quite rustily at first against TEAM PINK, losing to them 5-1. In that match, we just lacked chemistry between us with many passes going astray and mistakes being made by me especially. As for the second match against 0820, we trailed 3-0 at first but with nothing to lose, we started playing with more confidence and purpose. we managed to get 2 well deserved goals back and Elias, Andy and Linus were really unfortunate to not be able to score a few more to clinch a victory. And at the final game, which was the soccer captains team, it was one of the most amazing matches that i have seen. Although it was not really beautiful football, it was just stunning to see a group of us dominating the game. Linus clinched first blood for us with a wonderful passing goal all the way to the goal. Not before long, Elias score a sexy route one goal with a deft side footed finish. With that, the captains team started to get serious and after many attempts managed to equalise. In the end it finished off as a 2 all draw. If not for the hardworking capabilities of Elias who ran around the whole game to deny the captain shooting chances, Andy's stunning defensive display, Linus' constant harrying of defenders , Michelles holding up of the ball for us and Esthers support from the stands, we might just have humiliated ourselves.Instead we did the impossible and knocked their team out of the next round. wooo it was fun man.
Well thats all for now!!

rock on chelsea!!

2009-05-11T02:17:00.002+08:00

OH YEAH!! Chelsea destroyed Arsenal 4-1!! It was a totally fantastic performance by chelsea in the first half although there were many close scares coming from arsenals Walcott. Still they managed to clinch a comfortable win and performance over arsenal to go close in securing third plaing. However, i feel kinda sad for arsenal though, especially Walcott and Toure. Walcott, being so young and all but still having to carry the burden of being one of englands bright prospects. So him missing so many glorious chances would surely send his confidence why down to his toes. i just hope that he can manage and lift his morale or england would be losing one for their future. As for toure, reall sad for him as he score an own goal. What's more, he was still one of the better performers before that fatal mistake deproved his pperformance drastically. Yep just feel really bad but happy at the same time. Ok thats all, still needa do my zuo wen.

lecture tests..

2009-04-21T23:56:00.002+08:00

Long time since i last posted on this fermented and rotting blog.. But still, i'll only be posting some sad stuff that happened this past few weeks. Well overall it has been a terrible week for me. Got back most of my lecture tests and failed all except my mrp which i got a B, thank goodness. Yeah but got U's for bio andmath test. Argh!! finally feeling the pressure of JC life and finding all the tests too tough to handle...oh man..If this is the start, what will be the end?

Math test...ZZZZZZZZZZZ

2009-04-03T00:06:00.002+08:00

Ok today was an average day, could have been a real awesome one though but due to SOMETHING, it turned into an average one. Ok that SOMETHING is the math test. I really did not exxpect it to be this tough. Ok it wasn't that tough but just that there was too little time!! So there goes a percentage of my promos grade. Well at least there was the lunch that made my day. A few of us, who doesn't take chemistry of course, went for lunch at Bishan's Sakae Sushi. We definately ate our fill of the buffet meal and you could say that it was money well spent. used up quite alot of our laughter there as we joked about many things from small things to toilet jokes. This caused Linus to lose his appetite quite a number of times. OK its getting late, thats all for now.

2009-03-31T23:16:00.002+08:00

Today was quite a special day due to the school releasing us early because of the good A level results. Although the school has yet to announce the actual results, it must not be too bad considering the school allowing us to have half a day off. So at 12, Linus, AnDy and i went to AMK hub's fish and co for lunch. Took around 1 hour to finish up the scrumptous meal before me and Linus rushed back to school for our respective training sessions. Training was quite fruitful, managed to improve my ce sheng la percentage and my ya qiu angling.Oh yah, and im really hoping and praying that i can go and support the girls and guys team for their crucial fixtures tml, as well as the SAJC team. Hope all of us can get through to the next round and get top few in the nationals. Ok thats all for today, back to my binomial revision.

..

2009-03-27T23:08:00.002+08:00

Yet another hectic week has passed, although most of it was just studying and revising. But the main highlight and one that i would never forget would be the Fire Drill exercise. Ok it was like when we were all droning into sleep during the GP tutorial, the alarm just went off and someone shouted fire, leading to cheers by all. So most of the classes went rushing to the assembly area. But midway, me and linus had time to hand in our geog hw and pee before heading to the meeting area. But the surprising thing was the school was very happy with our timing and gave us and early break, from 11.30-12.30. What was better was we did not have lessons at 12.30 as well, so we had 2 hrs of break before assembly, how cool was that?? So because of this long break all the boys in my class came over to my house and almost created havoc.haha. It was fun anyway.

Oh yah and i finally managed to recognise many familliar faces around me in school, all friends that i have already made. Cool eh?? There were 2 tt players beside me during the math tutorial, Lawrence and a Gan Eng Seng sec girl whose name i still do not know. Zheng Yi's class in front of mine. And many many more..

Yeah so far im really enjoying life at nanyang jc even if the workload is really killing me everyday. But thanks to all my friends be it from kindergarden,primary or secondary school and JC, they've all really kept me going.

Thats all for now!! Buhbye!!

YAY!!

2009-03-25T01:14:00.003+08:00

YAY!! PHEW!! WHOOHOO!! Call me crazy but im just feeling so relieved!! Cleared all my homework just now and now can finally relax and prepare for school in a school in a few hours time. Sadly, it would have been great if school started at 9 tommorow, so that i can catch up with a few more hours of sleep.OH YAH and i gotta thank Esther for giving me such a good tip on how to focus. and also Elias who posted all those jokes on the class blog to keep me awake.

Well anyway this week seems to be going to be eventful. Not getting into the table tennis team due to some reasons which im not angry or anything about,just wishing the players all the best. Going to get a taste of what JC life is all about with the tests all starting to come straight at us this couple of weeks straight. And also mugging my life out even though there are no major exams coming yet which is so untypical of me.

Oh yah and my church is going to have a sports day this friday from 3.30 pm to 6 pm where we are gonna have many sports games. So if you guys are free and would like to come, please contact me thx!!

Thats all then.

Holidays!!

2009-03-17T20:51:00.002+08:00

Holidays are here!!! But sadly, i dun seem to be able to be happy. Cause of all the upcoming exams happening right after the one week holiday. Firstly theres geography test right after the holidays, something that is really stressing me out. This is due to the fact that i dont really have a strong foundation in that area which is also partly because i did not take it as a core subject in the secondary school days. Plate tectonics test??? What the heck is plate tectonics. Secondly, no offence, but i don't even understand what the teacher is talking the whole time let alone half the time. Not only is his voice droning and makes me sleepy, but he also doesnt really teach us combined geography students, which is most of us, the basics of the whole topic. So therefore leading to ask not catching any balls.

Then theres the math Binomials and AP GP test the next week. OK at least i managed to grasp these two topics and hence making my life easier as all i have to do is revise by attempting some questions and i'll be good. Hopefully i'll do well.

Then theres the biology test on the same week as the math test. Well no doubt that bio is really quite interesting but needing to memorise all the names and functions of all the cells and stuff will really kill me man, especially when we need to be able to remember all the functions unlike the sec school days where we could choose what we wanted to write. Man this is really crazy. I seriously hope i will be able to survive this whole week of "holiday" let alone finish studying as i also need to return to school for ccas and workshops. There goes my week..........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

MANU WIN LEAGUE CUP....ZZZ

2009-03-02T01:46:00.001+08:00

Damn MANU won the league Cup...ZZZZZZZZZZZ

First week at NYJC

2009-02-21T17:03:00.002+08:00

YAY!! First official week at NY just passed by, so glad that i made it through without dozing off at any lectures.Let's talk about the subjects first.Well, im taking H2 bio,math and econs andH1 geography. Yeah. I find that the bio classes are not to bad with our tutor Mr goh constantly kidding with us.However i feel that the lecture is going kindof fast and me the slower one, not able to grasp alot of what she was talking about.Sigh, so i just have to spend my weekends revising all those chim stuff about cells, let alone it only being the first chapter.zzz. Then there was math, for me the easiest so far.YAY!! i finally managed to grasp the new binomial formulaes!! haha im so happy. As for econs, we only went through the marginalist principle so far and geog lessons were like so.....dead.

Yah then there is also my table tennis cca.Been training thrice a week and still not seeing myself improving much. Dont think i will be able to get into the team at this rate.

Ok thats it for now.Toodles!!

Orientation over!!

2009-02-14T15:57:00.002+08:00

YAY!! I love Alex One/0903!! Count by the count by the....
Yeah the orientation was a great one and the whole class really managed to bond well together.At first during the first day, we were still a felt bit strange and awkward with each other.But at the second day, we really started to talk to everyone else and made friends with all in the class. I myself made many good friends, mainly Elias, Andy and i who hang out the most together, but everyone in the class are my friends as well!!! But now that orientation is over, we needa change our fun mode to study mode already, hopefully we will still be bonded like we were in orientation and still do everything as a class. Is it OK?? Alright!! HAHA.. ok thats about all for now cya all real soon AHS dudes!!! and NYJC dudes!!

Praise the LORD!! NYJC here i come!!!

2009-02-05T21:02:00.003+08:00

Praise the LORD!!! I got accepted to NYJC!!
This has been a very fun yet nerve-wrecking week for me, with me having alot of fun at SR and also the need to constantly travel to SA and Nanyang for the table tennis trials. However, firstly i must clarify to all that SRJC is actually a really nice school with many good teachers and students. The school spirit there is also really great! So if anyone is still considering to go to SRJC or a poly, i would really encourage you to go to SRJC!! Its really not like what everyone says it is. In fact i think that it is also possibly better than many other so-called better JC's.
I've also been rushing around alot to attend the table tennis trials in both Nanyang and SA JC. The worse was not that i had to travel to the school most of the days, but that both school's had training and trials on the same day!! So i had to constantly leave the trails early to head for the other school. But i think GOD really wanted me to go to Nanyang to further my studies.Firstly cause at nanyang trials, i realised that i played really really really well, and won all those who were also trying to appeal there. I didnt even knw i was able to play that good and never had before. So it is really a miracle and god's grace that even a person as lousy as me could get into NanyangJC. I even won the girl's captain!! Halelujah!

Yeah thats all, but i still have to concentrate and put in my utmost effort in my studies from now on! Cya all soon.

Kaieros 6-0 sec 4's

2009-01-26T00:58:00.002+08:00

Kaieros thumps sec 4's 6 nil

Yes thats right, the classic is over!!! With Kaieros thrashing the sec 4's in a highly entertaining match at Safra stadium. The Kaieros players who were wearing their jerseys for the first time played one of their best ever matches together. Let me share some highlights with you:

1) Kaieros increases their tempo right at the start of the game. After some good passing movement by the team, Ben spotted the timed run by Yu Xun and made a brilliant true pass to him. However, Yu Xun just could not manage to shoot pass the rushing Zhou Yang. Well played between the two players though and this is just the start.

2) Matthew managed to get the ball near the edge of the penalty area. After weaving his way to the sideline and fooling past a couple of defenders, he crossed a low ball into the penalty area. But there was no one there!! Just a little too far for me to reach.Good ball but poor chemistry.

3) Once again, Matthew managed to get the ball near the sidelines giving everyone a sense of deja vu as he feinted past yet another 2 players before sending a similar cross as before. This time, after learning from my previous mistake, i charged into the far post even before the pass was made and made it just in time to tap in the cross easily. Brilliant play by Matt.(for the first time)

4)I recieved the ball near the left wing but slightly miscontrolled it and allowed the ball to bounce too far. However, i managed to send a through ball to Teng Rui. But the cross was kinda mistimed. But at least it showed the increasing chemistry between the two left sided players.

5) Chi Min continued to threaten our whole team with his Breakneck speed, powerful stamina and individual brilliance however he just could not find the end product.

6)Kaieros continued to threaten from the left wing and middle and dominating most of the possesion but still found it very hard to clinch the second goal.

7)Just before the break, i sent a pass to Cher Yong who managed to get past one midfielder before sending a through ball for Matt to chase it long. Even though Matt managed to get to the ball in time, the ever brilliant Zhou Yang saved it from Matt's feet but just could not grasp hold of the ball. The ball fell to the feet of the charging Zi Jie. After a bit of scrambling in the box, ZJ managed to break loose and send a delightfully weighted ball in to the net, past all the defenders and goalkeeper. 2 nil at half time!!

to be continued.......hopefully.............

1 more day!!!!!!!

2009-01-22T15:10:00.001+08:00

Its one more day to the big day for us Kaieros players. Everyone seems to be starting to feel really excited now as we are all expecting to get nothing but victory from this game. However, just my luck, i had to sprain my leg while tennising yesterday. Luckily it wasnt that serious and could run around again after a whil, but still unable to reach my max speed. Also unable to cushion the ball properly with my right leg yet as there will always be a sharp sting of pain whenever the ball touches it.Argh, hope i recover by tomorrow. However, there was more to come, my specs and face being the victims this time. Got whacked straight in the face by a ball while trying to make a save. The proverb huo bu dan xing seems to be true i guess. Well cant wait for tml liao..Cya there!!!

another match against the sec 4s

2009-01-21T17:50:00.003+08:00

Once again, we have come to another day where the 2 titans clash. Yes it's the much anticipated match of Kaieros vs the sec 4's aka chihuahua's aka kids. This match continues to hold much promise into being yet another tremendous encounter between the two sides with no love lost since their last meeting. This fixture between the 2 fierce rivals has always been high scoring with many goal mouth action as well as crunching tackles and player blunders. Although the neutrals favourite to win the match would, of course, be kaieros to win, but few can take the sec 4's lightly after their continuous wins against cage, a team that kaieros has yet to beat(soon though). The top scorer for kaieros is of course the prolific midfield ace Zi Jie AKA ace, leader of the group. With his mazy runs from midfield and good chemistry between his teammates, coupled with his prowess from set piece situations, he is one that will cause shivers and shudders down anybody who is facing him, a complete player indeed. However no matter how talented a player is, there would always be a critic who finds fault in him. One such source tells us that he is way too selfish and could do well to pass more often instead of letting fly himself. Since the critic is from a high position in football, we can only agree with him.

Another player that is vital to the Kaieros side would be the right back Nick Liew. He is considered as the best right back of all time by many in AHS and soon the world. Not only has he got bags of stamina, his natural brilliance in timing his tackles has allowed him to recieve many plaudits. He also does not depend on strength to win him tackles unlike many other defender's but on his witty brain. As he is also a maths genius, he is able to calculate the exact and perfect timing to disposess his opponents. BUT, there is still a flaw from his play. The same source tells us that nick is way to inconsistent. This comment is well received by the team as nick's performances has been really irregular with him really not being able to mark and frustrate his opponents. The biggest fan of the comment would be nick's teammate zi jie who has always been the main critic for nick. However due to some circumstances such as nick losing his wallet, nick might not be able to play in the match on friday. Some might say that his parents are too extreme or some might say that he deserves it all right. But, everyone still hopes for one thing and that is he will be available for the match.

And then there is also Jing Lu, widely considered as the most improved player, with the exception of nick. He only started learning soccer as an unknown in secondary 3 but after 2 years of practice and sheer determination, look what he has become. Also known as Keane,and one touch striker, jing lu has recieved much compliments by all.However, he is still unable to impress the main critic. This time the critic has gone all the way saying that with him in the field, we are at a real disadvantage and its like a man down. It may seem harsh to all, but it is no doubt the truth coming from the wise man.

Lastly, widely known as the dark knight and also the only true person capable of donning the number 9 jersey, we have MATTHEW MOHAN!!!!!!!!!! With his brilliant accuracy and shooting power on field soccer, together with his leadership qualities, it is no wonder he holds the utmost importance and highest position in the team.Not only that, he has proven to be a real natural on the field as he has already started his goal tally since his first match for the team. Even though he is not the captain, he still leads the team by example on and off the pitch. This is helped by his charisma and seductive smile, of course.

Well, after saying so much, all i wanna say is that we need everyone if you to support us at 3 at safra tampines this friday afternoon. As for the players, for those who have not replied if you were going yet, please msg me asap after u read this blog. thx loads. Cya friday!!!

Hey sup dudes. Not gonna post about the 2nd half of the sec 3's match just yet, maybe next time though.
well this past few weeks has been quite a hectic one for me, filled with both joy and sorrows. Firstly there was the sports class chalet which was really great!! Many thanks to Ci Hui, Liang Kai and also Ming Swee for booking the whole place and organising the whole event. well, there were also others who did loads in making the chalet a succesful one too. So, thanks to all of you!! Just to share what we did at the chalet, especially the more fun ones like playing one touch soccer outide the place in the wee hours of the night, the street soccer with the SAJC dudes, card games and the bbq. Oh yah ming swee, ryan and raymond also came up with a real cool game which drew alot of laughter. Yeah those were the good old days. Oh yah, i think i left my jeans at the chAlet as well. if anyone had seen it last can u tell me?? thanks alot.

Then there was the results day which i dont wanna talk about.

After that i went for a couple of soccer trials with various schools which i came through all succesful. Everyone seemed to be wanting me to sign for them.

Kaieros vs sec 3's

2008-12-27T14:25:00.003+08:00

Back for more posting. Had quite alot of fun last week with all the christmas celebrations with my relatives and also the church. But the most exciting event was the Kaieros vs sec 3's match yesterday. It was really thrilling for the players as well as for the spectators, with the match filled with many brilliant movements and occasional blunders of a classical football match. Let me give you a short summary of the match:

1)We started off by warming up in the first 15 mins with long shots and set pieces from both corner and free kick positions. Too bad we didn't score from any set pieces during the match.I know why as well because my corners really sucked that day.

2) Soon it was kick off with Tim, the ref, blowing the whistle. We started off quite well as we started off by attacking straight away.

3) From a throw in, Ben our attacking midfielder, threw a brilliant through long throw for me to chase. At first i really thought i wouldn't make it to the ball before at went past the opponents touchline. However; luckily i did and sent a cross for the rampaging matt into the box. However his snapshot was blocked brilliantly by the keeper from point blank range. Nope, it wasn't over just yet with Zi jie charging into the box and thumping in the rebound.1-0 ffor kaieros.Zi jie has scored in every game so far for kaieros. Nice one ZJ. Too bad matt's finishing is still better than yours lol.

4) A nice pass which sent matthew through into the penalty box. But due to pressure, Matt was forced to run towards the corner flag. It seemed as if there was no way to gofor him and the chance was lost. However, due to his strong determination, he managed to dodge and weave past 2 defenders before making a pass to Ming Swee. Then he sent a wonderfully weighted low cross into the box which went past every defender but just perfect for me to lift it past their keeper, Zhou Yang. Phew, finally a burden off my shoulders as it was my first goal from open play. Thnks Ming Swee!!After my goal, i asked for a substitution and Yi Cheng went in to make his debut.

5) Cant really remember what went on during the match when i came off as i constantly drank water due to a sore throat. But i do know that fu seng came and went on!!

6) when i came back on for Yi Cheng again on the left midfield role, i saw Ben's long range effort hit the outside of the cross bar. Really Unlucky.

7) Than the worst moment of the match for me came. I called for the ball from ben who sent yet another wonderful ball for me to chase. As i didn't know that i was that close to goal, i sent a cut in cross to matt who shot it straight to the keeper and bounced away for a corner. The others kept telling me that i should have shot it on my own instead of passing it. Well that was the worst moment as if i had scored the outcome of the game would have been different.

8)Just a while before half time, I managed to get the ball again. This time i had many options to pass to. I spotted fu seng sprinting down the other wing. Without thinking, i crossed a long ball to him. The feeling was really great for me to see my long ball reach exactly fu seng's chest. That really gave me confidence afterwards. Well, continuing, 2 of the defenders tried tackling it from fu seng and one of them, under pressure, kicked it towards his own post. The ball fell for matt who couldn't put the ball into the net. But according to him, it had hit his balls.

Well then it was half time.

to be continued...

2008-12-23T10:59:00.002+08:00

Long time since i posted already, so just gonna post a short one now to summarise what i have been doing the past month.Well i went to japan for my holidays this month on the 13th. It was quite fun and i managed to see snow for the first time!!! However, despite it being fun and all, i was quite disappointed with the food though as we ate seafood steamboat most of the time. Its not as if we are not able to eat all that in singapore. Where are all the sashimi, tempura and ice creams. All we got in replacement for these were vegetables, vegetables and jelly?? Yeah, so thats the only bad point about the tour. Apart from that it was awesome. Oh yah the prices for stuff was crazy as well. We had this snow mobile ride which costs 160+ singapore dollars for 1 person, and its only for an hour!! Although it was quite fun and exciting as i fell off it, but the price was still quite unreasonable. The food and products were also highly overpriced. I remember that there was this kobe beef that i ate which costs 9000yen for 200grams. Thats like more than a hundred singapore dollars!! Well, i cant deny that it was delicious and it is known worldwide, but surely there has to be a limit for how they price items?? 100+ dollars for a meat the width of a cd cover and the length of 2 cds. Its like what the hell. Yeah thats around it for the tour and i would recommmend you all to go to japan if u have the chance!!!
Oh yah, due to me having to go to japan, i had to miss the match between the sec 3s. Damn, i was so looking forward to that. But at least the team still managed to thrash them 5-2. Nice one zi jie, matt and ben with the goals!! Now im feeling kinda sad cause i cant see myself in the team anymore after their thrashing. Maybe i can just be in the subs??

Yeah thats it for now, till next time

nick's birthday

2008-11-30T19:50:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday nick and Denise!!! Well gonna post about nick's birthday celebration as i have promised.
We met at pasir ris mrt at 2.30, and was only the 4th to reach even though i was about a 15 mins late. There were a total of 9 people who were gonna meet there so we waited till around 3.30 before leaving for dhoby gaut to start of nick's birthday celebration. First up we headed to play some LAN first. As i was a regular in many LAN outlets, i really knew about all the games and played all of them well. DOTA and CS being my forte. Owned many people with my dota talents by killing 0 and assisting 3. Pretty impressive eh?Haha, dunno what the heck i was doing whole game lah, just running around and killing creeps? Got the chance to finish off ryan and get my first ever kill in dota but ran away and got killed by him instead. Like i said, im one of the best in these kinda games. Not that good at CS as well, and seem to be losing my touch. Yep, thats around it for LAN. Soon after that, we went to meet wei bin before heading down to DPeak for our steamboat dinner. The price was good, 16.20 dollars for a buffet steamboat, and the food was satisfying and not bad, except for the guo tie. Really wanna thank the guy for ordering it and sharing the joy with us, and not allowing the other diners to taste the meat-filled dumplings. We ordered a bit too much and almost could not finish it. Luckily we managed to finish them after a few rounds of zong ji mi ma. Ryan, Raymond and Ryan were the top scorers of the game but zi jie was the overall winner and managed to clinch the top prize-A bite of a half-cooked meatball. Finished our dinner at around 10 plus. However we could not decide which means of transport that we should use to go home. So, there was gonna be a dance-off between ryan and ming swee. Ryan showed off some of his hip hop and wushu moves while ming swee danced from head to toe. Didnt really know who the ultimate winner was as both of them were real good. However it looked like ryan had won as we were heading towards the mrt station in no time. Well, i was the first to leave and board the mrt while the rest continued to discuss on what transport to take. Yea so that was how the day went. Pretty awesome birthday nick!!

Till nxt time!!

BBQ and prom.

2008-11-28T23:40:00.003+08:00

Phew this past two weeks had been a tiring yet fun one. Firstly there was the 4G bbq last sunday at my house. So, my whole family had spent most of the days before preparing for the big day. Luckily the whole event was quite pleasant and acceptable. There were around 20 classmates present plus mr poh who joined us much later for the bbq dinner. The food was quite delicious thanks to my mum and my maid for their utmost care in their preparation. Yep, we also managed to bond and find out more about certain classmates by playing table tennis, XBox and bbqing together. We also managed to find out about zi jie's secret crush on someone when Ming swee , ryan and raymond burst out saying that someone had a girlfriend and dropping many hints for us to grasp. If our prediction was correct it was zi jie who had one. It was really quite a tough guess as ming swee ryan and raymond really kept the secret really well and left only the smarter ones knowing who the person was. Well, yeah thats the main highlight of the day. Other then that, there were many pictures taken as memories of our friendship. Yep, lets move on, seems to have some dust particles in my eye right now though, wonder why.

Then there was prom night on 26th nov. Yeah! that one was a real blast man. I was already feeling the excitement when i woke up early in the morning at 12pm. Yep, real early. But seriously, i was very excited when i woke up. Didn't really feel like doing much stuff when i woke up, so i just wasted most of my time walking round my house, up and down or reading a book. At around 4.30 pm, i went to prepare. Bathed, styled my hair making it real cool.ROFL, yeah right. Then went to get changed into my proper attire. Well, i didn't really spent much time and money in preparing my clothes as i was just wearing the exact same thing i wore to my cousins wedding last year. I only bought a new red tie. Yea, so it was kinda hilarious to see the rest of my classmate fussing over what to wear and buy for prom while i could just sit back and relax. No offense to anyone. Left the house at around 5.15 pm and arrived at orchard hotel at 5.50pm. Quite a surprised to see most of my schoolmates were already there in their home clothes and not school attire, seemingly wanting to find a girlfriend. Well all i can say is that zi jie has really got some real slick tips to share. carrying on, we had to wait till 7pm before we were allowed to enter. The MC was funny and shared some good and some lame jokes with us. Then came the performances. The first band was okay and kinda got the whole night rolling. However the funny part was that shawn was not in their band. It was a bit wierd man as shawn was supposed to be in yan chins band. Well, anyway i din let that ruin my day so i just clapped along.Then the next perfomance was by MingRyaMond's band: the lao gaos. Their performance was one of the best of the night with them bringing us 3 songs, chan mali chan and make a wish among them. Then came the highlight of the night, Michael Jackson!! Well actually it was just my friend choon hwee, but his impersonation was so good that it looked like the real deal. However, to be honest, i was actually kindof worried that he would make a fool of himself on stage, but seeing him brimming with confidence before his big performance and knowing that he had already practised for ages, i just wished him good luck and that i would cheer for him. But i found out soon enough how good he actually was. He looked, moved, and danced exactly like the real michael jackson man!! well, there might also be one thing that i missed out. He might also have inherited michael jackson's mindset and character, yep and could very slightly also be a paedophile.Haha, sorry choon hwee, just joking!! Yeah, well his performance was the main highlight of the night and i sort of forgotten what was after that. Oh yah there was also shaawn's band, although i din know why he was on stage at that time, but he said the whole performance was a disaster. Well i felt that he and kevin did really well actually while the others were................ Yup, thats about all that i remembered although i still heard that the Mc made a damn bloody insulting remark on our schoolmate saying that he looked as if he was in a tuckshop. I mean what the hell?! Yeah, however overall the MC's performance was not bad apart from that fatal comment. So, at the end of the whole thing, many people went to dance, and i was not one of them while others like me went out and were immediately asked to take photos. Yep took many photos that night. After that, we went in againg and took more photos, and saw many of my sec 3 council friends who were there to help out. Really appreciate all of their help. Also will really miss Javier and gang and our soccering times together. At least i will be going back some times to play with them and also to teach Kelyn how to play. Ah, i will really miss all of the sec 4 and 3 schoolmates alot man, after knowing them these few years, its really very difficult to part. Oh yah, i will also be missing the sugar cane dessert at the hotel alot. Really appetising. But im still wondering how they managed to alter its taste till its so unlike a sugar canes.

Yeah well, thats the end of the night man. But thankfully i will be seeing most of the sports people which i have spent most of my four years with in the SPORTS CLASS CHALET in JANUARY!! Yeah, cant wait to see u guys again. Well thats all for now, will post about nick's birthday celebration some other time. Toodles!!

Kaieros against SJI

2008-11-19T22:09:00.001+08:00

Yeah the match is coming soon!! Hope everyone who reads this comes and support us!!!

The match will be at St wilfred's sports complex and starts at 11 am. Cya there!!

Sentosa and soccer soon

2008-11-10T22:46:00.002+08:00

Alright, the O's are gonna end soon! Not really very excited though as i await the results. Hopefully i have done well and attain good enough results to enter the Jc that i want. At least i have given it my all and done my best, so i have no regrets. Now, even though there are still the mcqs left, im already in holiday mood and planning what i would be doing after the exams. Most probably it would be an all day under the sun 4G outing at Sentosa. While thinking about it, i just can't wait!!! Yeah, and theres also a soccer match where our team Kairos will be playing against my Primary school Friends team. Its gonna be real fun and could be the toughest opponents that we would be facing so far. Their best player would of course be my friend, whose name i Tim, as since primary school who was one of the few who could blast a soccer ball from 1 end of the parade square to another with such accuracy and power. This talent of his has undoubtly been one of the factors which made him Sji rugby teams vice captain. Well, starting to feel scared?? Hopefully not, course we will be needing many of ur supports to overcome this huge obstacle ahead of us. On top of that, we havent really been playing as a team for a long time and lacking in chemistry between the players. Furthermore, our team still hasn't come up with a potent partnership up front which could bang in the goals for us yet. One of our strikers is Jinglu. But with him playing,however, it would seem as if we were one man down and hence he would surely be waved away from the list of player selections. As for Kevin, his speed which would leave many defenders gaping is a much more natural right winger than a striker. However, we still have a last hope and that is MATTHEW MOHAN!!! Yeah, this is the real deal man. He is born with the looks, a burly body, muscular arms and a real knack for scoring goals so far for us, even with me not able to tell u his strike ratio. Indeed, he is a true talent. This coupled with his leadership skills and great positional sense that makes him much feared worldwide. So, we just have to find an able partner to play along side him and provide him with the services that he needs. Yeah, hopefully we can win this, with the help of all of you all's overwhelming support of course!!! Ta-ta.

MCQs Left YAY!!!

2008-11-08T17:03:00.002+08:00

Alright, theres only McQs blocking my way before the end of O's, doesn't really feel like its ending and still feeling kinda indifferent. But i still cant let my guard down just yet as this two papers could prove important in my 2 sciences getting A1 or not. But still im gonna do a quick post on the latest happenings in my life. The Lit paper ysterday was kind of hard and even Miss Koh said that it was quite bizarre of them to set such a tough paper given that it was the first time they were using off centre as the O' level text. However i still manage to scrape through the whole exams. After that we went to queensway as many people wanted buy new pairs of soccer boots. Well, we arrived there at what, 4.30?, and started entering shops and checking out the boots that they wanted. Finally, when everyone had decided what they wanted, we headed for another round of browsing in shops. By the time we finished buying and stuff, its was around 7.30 cause many shops did not have stock for the shoes that ming swee wanted. Finally we went to the first shop which had the one that min swee liked but with a different colour. Better then nothing, Ming Swee bought it. Upon stepping out of the stall, we found out that everyone had bought their boots from the same stall. It was kinda hilarious to think that we had walked two whole rounds and in the end, purchased the boots from the same stall and the first one that we had, in fact, entered. But wait, the best was yet to come. We decided on taking a direct bus home as we were all very tired and did not want the hassle of changing buses. This proved to be a real smart plan as the bus ride was like 1.5 hours long and it was real cold in it. That was the best ride ever man!!! Yeah so the bus ride was the most fun thing i had done in so many years. HEHE.Well gotta go study now. Gya and good luck to all in whatever u do!! God Bless.

lit exam

2008-11-07T00:51:00.002+08:00

Phew!!! Im up and posting again. Finally i finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird. Surprisingly its my first time finishing it and am regretting it. It wasn't as boring as i had expected it but quite interesting in fact. It made me learn quite a number of stuff and gave me a different view of things everytime i read certain parts over again. Now i just have to go through the notes before entrusting the examinations to the LORD. Hopefully i can do well and pray that i can get a B3 for it at least. This would be my last written examination with 2 more requiring shading coming up. Feeling quite sad thinking that secondary school years are ending soon and that i will have to move to a different environment for my further studies. However i will still remember my secondary school mates forever and hopefully still keep in touch with them. Well its almost one and i still gotta finish going through the notes. Night Guys!!

O' Lvls over soon.

2008-11-05T23:59:00.003+08:00

Yay!! O lvls are gonna be over soon. Just have to get through Core Literature and the 2 MCQs. I think i've been doing rather well so far and still aiming for my 11 points which can take me to SAJC.. SAJC here i come!!
Anw, had some soccer today. Didn't perform as well as i had hoped to have. Made many misplaced passes and out of control dribbles. Hopefully i will be able to find back my form by the time we play against SJI. I feel like the lousiest soccer player among all my friends now man.
Zi Jie doing all his Joga Bonito stuff really well and still improving a great deal. Hes really like a soccer God for Singapore's future man.
Nick's defence is also brilliantly awesome. Always being in the right place at the right time and also timing his tackles well without the need for aggression at all. He's also got loads of stamina too!!
Wei Bin, too, excelling in his new role as a centre-half with his natural aggression and strength. He also reads the game very well and can turn from defender to attacker in no time.
Ben continued to show his undoubted quality today by controlling possession in almost every game for his team. This skill coupled with his ability to score from long range makes him a tough midfield general.
Ming Swee too has remained consistent in his soccer performances. He was also the only one who was able to mark Nasri aka Boulahrouz and challenging possession with him. He also managed to score quite a few goals showing his goal scoring prowess.
Ryan and Raymond also played really well even though they had not been playing soccer for ages. Raymond still held on to his defensive abilities and Ryan still showing glimpses of his wizardry in his dribbling with many deft touches and turns.
There is also Cher Yong. His dribbling skills is still bloody crazy. Personally i also feel that he is also very talented in defence and would make a good attacking fullback.
Jing Lu has also improved alot, the most in fact. Also known as Keane, he remains a potent and constant threat in front of goal and holds the ball up well and long enough to allow team mates to get into positions before unleashing a smart pass for them to score. He truly is a Robbie Keane in the making.
Well that only leaves me. Haven't improved on any skills let alone polish them. I really hope that i am able to start conjuring up attacks like before and sending accurate and creative passes/crosses for team mates to score. Im also hoping that i am able to work on the accuracy of my rocket shot and improving its scoring percentage from 5% to around 50% if possible. Another to thing i would also like to work on is my ball control and juggling. Fitness is also another factor for my inconsistent and poor performances recently. The latest being the cramps i suffered at melville park. Yeah thats about it, feeling real lousy. Hopefully i don't disappoint everyone who has high expectations of me in soccer the next time i play. Well good night all!!!

Last day of school...zzz.

2008-10-18T12:05:00.003+08:00

OK so the so called last day of school was over yesterday. Quite sad for me. But didn't cry.
It started when i went to school early in the morning at 7.25 am. Upon Entering the classroom, i found out i was the only one there. Well, this was also because school started at 3 plus today. As it was the last day of school, i didn't really have much mood to study for the whole day and just listened to my walkman phone the whole morning, although i did finish rainforests of geography.

While i was still listening to my songs, an earpiercing ring disrupted the peaceful rhythm of my music. Once i took of my earpiece, i heard mr teo, the OM, saying that this was a fire drill. Oh well, i thought that this wouldn't be affecting the sec 4's as we were not even supposed to be there in the first place. BUt seeing many of my fellow sec 4 mates leaving and the many teachers coaxing them to leave the classroom made me join them as well. What a waste of time. At least we managed to arrive at the destination in record time of 2 minutes plus. But dunno which guy was the only person in the the class who went so early and need to take the drill.

Well after that, at 9.50 or so, the another person from 4 g came. Melinda!!! LOL. Yah den after that more people started arriving and when Choon Hwee came, we went to eat our lunch in the canteen. It was quite saddening while we ate our lunch as this would be our final meal there as a student. At least our final meal was not revolting and disgusting that would make me puke. It was quite scrumtous actually.

By the time we went back to class, most of our classmates were already there with the splendid and meaningful gifts for the teachers. There were even cards for them too. So, we spent most of the day writing on the cards and expressing our emotions towards the teachers inside. But the best thing for the day was our photos!! Not the ones that we took in class on that day, although it was nice as well, but the laminated ones that we took quite a while back. Although i must say i didn't really look good on the photo, but a t least i could use the back of it for my friends signatures. Thanks guys!!! Appreciate u all writing them!!

The graduation ceremony was quite fun as well, with many of us having many mixed emotions in us, one of sadness and excitement. Sadness because we would be seperated from each other soon but excitement because we were having alot of fun then.

Thats about it for the day. I just want to send out a general thank you to all 4G classmates and friends from Anglican High. Thank you all for always being so friendly and nice towards me despite all my flaws. Hopefully this would not be the end of our friendship. And btw, there will be a end year bbq at my house after the O's for all 4G students. Any of your wanna come??Haha.

Oh yah, if u are reading this, 2 more days to O' LVLs!!! JIAYOU ALL!!!

2008-10-14T10:02:00.002+08:00

Ok having a break before studying chem. Left 1 chapter before i finish my preparation for chem.

Wah this few days a getting crazier and crazier, never studied so hard in my life i think. BUT IM STILL LAGGING BEHIND!!! I'm only about to finish chemistry and 1/2 of geog. Can anyone tell me whether im doing fine or not?! I just have a feeling that i will flunk my o lvls man. So depressing. However in times like this, i will need to continue placing my faith on GOD even more to help me overcome this one more month of mugging madness before FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah i just know he'll pull me through no matter what it takes. ok 6 more days to the 2nd o lvl paper, the first being chinese. Hopefully all my subjects can do as well as chinese, then i'll be satisfied enough. JIAYOU ALL!!!

Back to studying...

o's coming

2008-10-08T22:47:00.002+08:00

Okay not sure why im posting again but here i am anyway. O' lvls is approaching and is almost around the corner but im still here posting. What am i doing!? I have to shun away the thoughts that i am juzt having a break after a long day of studying as in actual fact i have not. After just a few days of studying for the o'lvls examinations, im starting to feel bored and tired of all this mugging. Guess im just not the studying type of guy. However, im still thinking of what i would be doing right after the examinations!!
The 1st thing i would do right after the last paper would be to scream!!! Yeah!! I've always said it but never done it. Talk about not walking the talk. After that maybe a trip to sentosa to celebrate like after the prelims?? Hopefully so. Cause the one after the prelims was totally awesome man!! Although the only major bad thing was getting sunburnt, we had tons of fun and loads of laughter. Maybe some soccer a few days aafter that against cage, sec 3's?? But for now, i have to wake up from my dream 1st and face reality. O'Lvls Are COMING!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!!!

Last day of school

2008-10-04T16:21:00.002+08:00

OK yesterday was officially the last day of school.. it think... Actually i didn't really feel sad at all yestarday partly because i did not realise it was the last day. I only heard about it after the school was dimissed when i overheard on some girls talking about it. So sadness started creeping into me only yesterNIGHT when i thought about not being able to see some of my friends again for a long time. Although i would still have to attend school for some of its make-up lessons because of my trash-like results, i would still not be able to see most of my good friends as quite a number of them had achieved compelling ones. Even till now, this sense of loneliness without my friends still creeps into me every now and then when i think about it.

Nevertheless i should still remain positive as i will still be able to see CHOON HWEE!! As both of us failed miserably in our core literature paper, we have to attend Miss Koh's makeup lessons 5 times a week. Boring it may be, but at least i stand to gain something in her lessons and get to see Choon Hwee. It was also thanks to her that i finally managed to grasp the techniques and methods used in literature, allowing me to start passing my Literature papers this year. So, Thanks Miss Koh for helping me!!!!

I would also get to see Shawn the eaglehawklin in school soon. Since last Monday, he and i both had been studying till late at the school library right after school till 9 and found it a really conducive and effective way of studying. Hence, we planned to continue meeting up in the library for our revisions and the sharing of our notes we made for certain subjects.

Thats about all the guys i would be meeting up with during this school revision break. However, i would still like to send out a general thank you to all teachers who have thought me before, especially the ones who thought me this year. Mrs Lam for constantly giving us testpapers, notes and worksheets which she printed out using her hard-earned money, mr poh for always smiling and motivating us whenever we were demoralised , giving us 3 minute breaks when in fact they were 8 minutes, Mr Ben Tan for letting me understand my geography techniques and your half a period jokes but most of us letting me get and a1 for geog in prelims!!! I would also like to thank Mrs Mohan for constantly approaching me and helping me improve my english from c's to B's. Also, lee lao shi, my former HCL teacher for building up my chinese foundation and making it geng sheng di gu which helped me to score and a2 in my 1st attempt in the O' Lvls. Lastly, Miss Khoooooo!!! For teaching me the techniques for social studies.

Yeah thats the end of this post. Hopefully the teachers that i mentioned would see my post. Hehe.. Bye for now!!! Cya after O's!!!

after sec 3s match!!

Woo the match against the sec 3's was a blast!!! Just like what i had predicted. Heres how the day went-- starting from after school.

Well, firstly directly after school, me, matthew, ben and chun kit took a cab to safra cause it was already 2.15pm and that the match would be commencing at 3pm. We thought that most of the players would already be there therefore were willing to part with our money. But, upon reaching the field, NO ONE WAS THERE!! Wah wasted 5 dollars altogether man. Even the sec 3's were not there yet. while waiting Matt and i did some warm ups first such as jogging and stretching while Ben and Chun Kit went to get some food due to them not having eaten their recess. We thought that after 10 mins or so, the rest would start to come in but we were wrong. After 20 mins, not a single soul had arrived yet, with the exception of Ben and Chun Kit coming back from their meal. Matthew was like super pissed man, kept looking out and grumbling constantly.

After listening to his grumbling and complaining for 15 mins or so, everyone started to arrive. By then, my body was already warmed down but who cares, i just went for some drills before the game.

After the short drills, consisting of passing, shooting and crossing, our captain( Keane) grouped our team together and discussed the formation with us. He told us that we would be trying out with a 3-4-3 formation. At first, many of the players started protesting against the positions that they were given and told him what positions that they wanted to play. This left Keane in a dilemna and sent him deep into his own thoughts. After a few minutes of silence from him, he finally resuggested a formation and assign the players to it. Still it drew a few complaints but when it was known that we were only going to test it in the first half, everyone accepted it. Phew! The formation would be still be 3-1-3-3 and the players were--Gk: Chun Kit,Defenders:Mandel,Nick,Wei Bin, Defensive midfielder: Keane, Midfielders: Cher Yong, Zi Jie, Ben and Attackers: Me, Matt and Kevin. We had one sub, Jing Lu, who would play a crucial role later on. Well, now lets move on to the actual match itself. Actually im not too sure about the timeline and the actual happenings of the whole match, so forgive me for missing out on some stuff guys. I'll just explain the match in point form.

1st Half

1) The sec 3's dominated in the middle while we threatened from the wings.

2)After some good movement and shuffling in the sec 3's penalty area, Ben made a created a superb chance for me but my shot just came off the top post.Argh!! So close for my 1st goal!!!!

3)From a corner, the sec's floated a corner into the edge of the penalty area,to Chi Min who was unmarked. with a single touch of the ball and a shot,the ball sailed into the net. 0-1.

4)Again, i think it was another 2 more corners where where the sec 3's scored 2 more goals. 3-0.

5) Tension was starting to rise among our team and more and more mistakes were being made, both in attack and defence. The fluidity in our play was gone and allowing the sec 3's to put their swift counter-attacking style to good effect. Luckily for us, they failed to capitalise on their chances.

6) Then, just before half time against the flow of play,with jing Lu brought in, a sudden back pass to the sec 3 keeper, Zhou Yang, caused him to miskick the ball backwards, towards his own net, with Matthew, our main strikercto make sure of the goal, whacked the ball in.So Matthew *Ahem* scored a goal finally after a drought.

HALF TIME
The team talk was great, with all of us expressing our frustrations to our calm captain about the match, and discussing ways to improve our performance in the second half, especially with our team trailing by 2 goals. Although the atmospere was a bit tense, we did not let the tension to get the better of us but instead, motivated each other to improve our performances. In summary of the half time pep talk, we were told that our wing play was not working as the service provided by the wingers were ineffective with no one willing to throw their bodies to divert the ball in goal. The defence also had to be reshuffled and asked to concentrate and focus while the midfield had to close the opponents down so as to provide as little space as possible for the opponents, with their goals all coming from long ranged efforts.

Hence, our formation was changed to 4-3-1-2.The goalkeeper remained the same, defenders(from right)-Nick,wei Bin, Keane,Mandel.Centre Midfielders-Cheryong, Ben and Matthew( out of position), Attacking midfielder-ME!!! and strikers- Zi Jie and Kevin. We were abandoning our Wing play to try to dominate the centre of the field and stop their attacks from building up.

2nd Half

7)We started playing like a team as we started to dominate in attack, constantly hogging most of the possesion in the midfield area, thanks to our 3 defensive midfielders.

8)After quite a long build up from midfield, the ball somehow fell to my feet. I tried to look for options around and saw Cher Yong, Ben and Matthew unmarked at left , centre and right respectively.But because their defender was charging towards me, i had no time and choice to think but to pass to Ben who was the nearest and directly in front of me. Ben, with a feint and turn, shot the ball towards the goal, and thanks to a slight deflection from a defender, the ball floated comfortably into the net. 3-2.

9) The sec 3's constantly attacked through the left through chi Min. He was fast and his large amount of stamina never ceases to amaze me. Luckily Nick's stamina matched his 1 for 1 and nick won most of the battles from the left. However, as Nick's pace was no match for Chi Min's speed, Chi Min occasionally got the better of Nick and was able to send in brilliant crosses and clever passes into the box. This was the closest times that the sec 3's threatened us the most.

10) A nice through pass from the outstanding Ben found me at the half way line unmarked. I dribbled to find the angle and space before sending another through ball to Cher yong.He found kevin at the penalty area and directed a pass towards him. Kevin controlled the ball well, swivelled and shot the ball hard towards goal. However, the ball did not even manage to get 1 metre due to it hitting a defender on the hand. Penalty!At first we did not even bother about the penalty call as most of us were too busy laughing. This was because Kevin was lying on the floor clutching his leg. He had suffered from leg cramps-yet again.LOL. While he was being carried off the field, Zi Jie kept saying my name and asking me to take the penalty, so pressurising lor. As i placed the ball on the spot, nervousness crept into me.I thought-this could decide the game. If i scored, the the score would be level and a huge burden would be lifted off the teams shoulders but if i missed, well, lets not talk about it.I chose my spot-bottom right. I kicked the ball with a controlled amount of power afraid that too much would cause it to fly over the bar. As the ball flew towards goal, i shiver went down my spine. The ball did not move towards the location that i had intended it too but was much closer to the keeper. Closer and closer the ball flew towards the goalmouth before touching the keepers leg and
DEFLECTED INTO THE GOAL!!!! WOOO!!! FIRST GOAL IN SAFRA FOR ME!!! 3-3

11)From then on, we were the better team all the way. However, it was still thanks to our defence, with keane lunging at the feet of a striker to deny him from point blank range and Nick's airtight marking of Chi Min prevented him space to trouble us much. However i would like to compliment Wei Bin especially as he dealt with the pressure he recieved by teammates from the 1st half well. He denied the opponents many 1 on 1 chances against our keeper with his discipline at the back and strong defending. Ben's comment best described him:'' He was like Bramble turning into Vidic in the 2nd half." Nice one Wei Bin!!!

12)After that, there were 2 goals from Zi jie from the same situation and position. From corners taken by me, with the ball swerving outwards, controlled by Zi Jie before unleashing a shot.Goal!! 5-3

13) Zi Jie was denied a hat trick just before the final whistle, with his long range effort hitting the crossbar and back. Soon after, his day ended with him getting his 1st leg cramps in a soccer match. Nice one ZJ.

Yeah, and thats the end of the match.Cool Huh. Sorry that im unable to fully express the details well cause my english is not that good you see. Ta-Ta.

Match against sec 3's

2008-09-18T23:31:00.000+08:00

I wonder why im still awake and writing on this blog. There is a big event going on tommorow which requires alot of my energy and concentration to be put into. The event im referring to is a soccer match between the sec 3's. The reason why this match is so significant is because due to the o'levels looming closer and closer, this would be the final soccer match that we would be playing till the end of the mind-boggling exam. This match is also kind of nerve wrecking as ever since our club was founded by our captain Keane, we have yet to win a single match so far. Hence, it would be great to finally win a match and go into the examination theatre without any regrets.

The reason why this match was organised even though it is so close to the 'os' was because of the constant bugging of the team members wanting to have a final match before the exams to act as a motivation to work harder. After thorough planning and much postponing, the match was finally "officially" set for tommorow. Even though there was much argument on the dates and venues for the match, a conscences was finally reached, thanks to Keanes leadership. Now, the next part would be to finally win our fiirst game. Wish us luck!! And if possible, come and support us at Safra at 3!! although it should already be too late..haha.

Chelsea vs Bordeux

2008-09-17T03:35:00.000+08:00

Its September 17th and 3.35am in the morning. Im sitting on th sofa of my house waiting for the Chelsea match to resume. The opponents being Bordeux. Its half time with Chelsea leading 2-0.
Sometimes i would wonder why im doing this, this year being the O' levels year and all, and that i should be catching up some sleep and stay up till the wee hours at night to prepare for the o's instead of watching tv. However it is because of matches like this that makes me cast aside any thoughts about the exam and just relax. Actually, my main purpose for watching the game was because i wanted to catch a glimpse of 1 player in action instead of my favourite team,Chelsea, play. That player is Gourcuff,the young french playmaker which i've heard so much about. However, i did not manage to access his abilities much due to Chelsea hogging most of the possesion as usual hence not letting him have much of the ball to play with.Instead, im watching a Chelsea side playing back the kind of attractive football again which was lost after the 4 nil demolition of Portsmouth. It is this kind of matches which makes me feel that i have not wasted my time.

Well thats it,the match is starting soon. Cya!!

4G outing at sentosa!!

2008-09-15T23:21:00.000+08:00

Today was a great day!!! We had 4G outing to Sentosa to celebrate the end of our prelims. It was like totally awesome man!!Because i didn't take physics,which was the last paper of the prelims, i did not have to go to school the whole day. However,despite me having so much fun, the day did not seem to start of well. When i woke up in the morning and opened the windows of my bedroom, a cold breeze smacked right at my face.Yes, it was raining. Upon feeling this chill in my face, a worried thought filled my mind. Could such a wonderful and much anticipated day go to waste just like this? As i was still a bit blur due to having just woken up, i decided on taking a bath first before pondering on the issue.

Well, if u want to know, the bath was great and very refreshing and i felt like i never wanted to get out.Well, partly because it was freezing outside too.

However, after the bath and stepping out of the bathroom, i almost screamed for joy! It had stopped raining and the sun had almost broken through the thick clouds surrounding it. YAY!! Praise the lord!! I quickly packed my stuff for the trip and rushed against time to meet my friends at harbourfront.

I arrived at my destination at 1010, 10 mins late(Dang!). Luckily almost all my friends were very nice and tolerable and welcomed me with open arms even though i was the only latecomer. Its nice to have friends like them=). Well we ate our breakfast at subway and chatted for an hour or so before heading for SENTOSA!!!

Sentosa had really changed a lot since i last went there as a kid. It looked very much more cleaner and advanced than a few years back. The view of the beach was also much more refreshing and also had a therepeutic feel to it. For today, we only went to the beach.

As it was still very early and also a weeday, there were only very few ppl there, the majority being the tourists. Hence, we found a spot for our bags quite effortlessly and with ease. After settling down, the boys went for some beach soccer!! It was really fun!! Although it was my first time and my skills were substandard, i still found it very fun and hilarious as many of us kept falling down due to the uneven sloping of the sand. Eventually, my team lost to the better team.After the match, we went for a short break. The looming clouds were all gone and now the sun was shining down on us, drawing curses and complains from my classmates. The constant beating of the suns rays on us caused many to dip into the sea to cool themselves down, while the others just went about doing their own stuff( Most of them went to buy drinks as the heat was almost intolerable).

After the refreshing rest, we went to play frisbee, but instead of using a frisbee, we used a ball. It sure was fun. There was just the right number of people playing, 8 a side i think,therefore not making the space too cramp or too expansive. Although it was fun, it was tiring as well, coupled with the sun shining brighter than ever which contrasted by what it was in the morning, our energy was drained away faster than ever and there was a constant need to quench our thirst with one of Gods greatest creation- Water.

We stayed at the beach for a really long time and by around 3 plus, the beach was filled with many people. We also found out that there were other classes from our school that came to Sentosa for a break.By 5.30, we were all changed and prepared to bid our farewells to Sentosa and leave for our class dinner.

Yeah!! Thats it, the end of such a superb and fantastic day.Although all of us got sunburnt, no one could complain that this trip was a waste of time. How i had hoped that the time did not have to pass so fast and make us leave the place so quickly.
At least we had many of the memories kept through the photographs we took during the outing.But most of all, Its all thanks to our monitor and monitress Liang Kai and Ci Hui for letting us have such a great day.

First Post!!

2008-09-14T21:17:00.000+08:00

Hi all!! Thanks for visiting my blog and reading my first post. Well, to start of my blogging life, i will only post a short post about myself such as hobbies favourite subjects and food. Hope it doesn't bore you to death.

First of all lets start of with my hobbies. Like an average person, i love to play computer games, sports and hate to study. However, i would prefer sports games, especially soccer ones, to the other kinds. Why soccer and not tennis, rugby, basketball, etc? Well, im not sure why either, maybe its because i got to know the Beautiful Game at quite a young age. The fact that the sport requires us to master the control of our legs to be able to play makes it really unique and appealing to me. However i only got to know about soccer during the 2002 world cup. It was really by coincidence really and i really must thank GOd to let me stumble upon this wonderful sport. I remember the day really clearly as if it only happened yesterday. It was raining on that day and i could not go out to play. So, being a typical small kid, i turned on the tv and started browsing the channels. As the shows being broadcasted on tv looked boring, i kept switching channels till i was blinded by a green light. I blinked and immediately saw someone kicking the ball and blasting it past the corner post. If i am not wrong, it was Paul Scholes(Still playing for England at that time) . I was very curious on what the people on the green stuff were doing. But after watching the match for 10 minutes or so, i started to get more and more into the game and my heart raced when a player approached the goal and shooting. Hence, this match was the one that made me fall in love with soccer.

However soccer is not my only hobby, the others include tennis, table tennis swimming and jogging. As you can see, most of my hobbies are sports and not from any other categories. Im not sure why myself either, so dont ask.

Secondly, my favourite subjects. I like english but am not very good at it, hate humanities and suck at it even more. So yeah, from inference, u can see that im not a studying person.

Lastly,my favourite food. Hmm..i dont think that i have any favourite food cause i eat practically everything. Im also not really sure that i hate any kind of food except for tomatoes and the school's western stall.

Well, and thats the end of my first post. Sorry that its kinda boring cause i was rushing to post it. Hopefully my next post will be better. Cya soon!!
