meet you there..

The paradox of our time in history is that....

we have taller buildings but shorter tempers,
wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less,
we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families,
more conveniences,
but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense,
more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems,
more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,
laugh too little, drive too fast,
get too angry, stay up too late,
get up too tired, read too little,
watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We've added years to life not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever,
but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,
fancier houses, but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.

A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.

A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak!

And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

George Carlin

15th August 2oo8

heyyy. really wanna thank all of you for what you all ve done and prepared..

you all made me feel really blessed and happy.

all the time spent on writing cards and buying my presents..despite the o's coming nearer..
planning and plotting for my birthday celebration..even during lessons.
getting gifts for me at the very last minute.. waiting for quite some time at my void deck.. watching the seconds passed by to be the first or last wisher.. the effort taken to find my photos and wish me on ur blog..

so much done just to give me a surprise. a memorable sixteen birthday.

I've a lot of heartfelt words to say to every indivisual.. i wanna write. Really hope can write to you all soon.. :(

You all are the best things i could have in life. I can never be able to ask for anything like that no matter what you knw. you all are irreplaceable and i'm very thankful and touched by all that you all have done..

Its like..2 more months.. less than 2 more months and we'll never see each other in the same school..same way again.
Everyone will be mugging for o's and soon we'll be going our seperate ways.

Despite being able to meet up and chat up..
i knw what i misses most is the days where we spent chatting and laughing in school..having lunchbreaks together.. complaining about anything and everything.. planning for our friends' celebrations.. giving each other small lil notes and encouragements.. small talks we will have when we see each other between lessons.. the monday recess which we can see all of our friends.. the times where we went to sch not having to worry about not seeing anyone or someone.. cause.. there ll be there. ...always

Despite not talking to some of you out there often.. you all are still really cherished by me. Definitely one who left footprints in my life, all whom i'll nv forget..

wanna say PHS rocks. Without PHS, i'll nv have met you all in my life.. will nv have realise how friends can make life so meaningful... so beautiful.

it's not even graduation yet but i can feel that i will miss you all real bad when school ends..

And shih and jess, i don't knw whether you two will even see it. But you two really made my day. It's the first time you two did something so sweet. overwhelmed by what you all have doneee!

i was right afterall.

about life,

its people.....

its love.

Friends can be for a lifetime. I believe.

16 August 2oo8

you're alwaes pampering me.. trying to give me the best that you can.. thinking for me in small and big things.

you're patient with me whenever i'm slow..

you tell stories whenever i wanna knw.

you bring me to good places that you've been..

you try to not forget me during ur games.

all these all these.. and so many more are really appreciated by me dear.

you've really done a lot and sacrificed a lot for me. i had a really great and happy birthday..(: It's been close to one and a half years since we met and started to get closer and some things just still don't change from the past. you still knw what i want and think or feel even when i don't say it. What more could i ask for..

' Maybe i feel more than i ever say..'

i've got so much thanks to say that i can never finish. From the day that i was born to what i've become this day, you all've done countless sacrifices for me. i don't know how to say how grateful am i for all this. Perhaps, the love in a family is indescribable and cannot be express. i don't knw how. ..but an open secret deep down in everyone's hearts.

Really thanks so much everyone and dear.

Just Listen
by: Rachel Naomi Remen

I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it's given from the heart. When people are talking, there's no need to do anything but receive them. Just take them in. Listen to what they're saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don't value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me along time to believe in the power of simple saying, "I'm so sorry," when someone is in pain. And meaning it.

One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happen to them. Subtly her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. It was just too lonely. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief of having someone just listen.

I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues, until I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness and grief. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well intentioned words.

i'll share with you all something i did in the afternoon.

It goes like this.My mom found out that one of the plants she have been growing is plaqued by some white coloured, cottony, soft and maomao thing.Thus, she needs to use spray-bottle to spray away those maomao thing..i took the job upon myself as i did not think that i have something better to do at that time..

at first, i was only spraying the parts of the plants where i could see the white cottony thing is.then after some time, i found out that the plant is much more badly plaqued than i thought.as almost all the leaves of the plant have one of their ends 'curled' up and form a hole like a well, that's why it can collect water and any other things in that small hole on almost every leaf..

then the white coloured thing actually chose to grow in those holes.

this made my job tough lo!i have to lift every leaf to spray away the white thing.and the worst thing was that the water that i sprayed on the leaf actually landed back on me...together with the white thing..!

after i finished spraying the plant with about 3-4 bottles of water, i realised that the black shirt i was wearing is dotted with white spots.and the white spots is the maomao thing....

to think that i only realised that i was dotted only when i'm halfway through the job as my head was tilted to the side..trying to avoid the water.

other than spraying the plant, i also sprayed water on a bird which landed on the railings lest it attack me.i also attacked a bee with water..hahaha. ;P

it's ok.at least its better than studying.agree? ;]

packed the books that were left haphazardly on my desk for i don't know how long already.you cannot imagine how messy my table was.even if you have seen it for yourself, i don't think anyone would have believed that that, is my table!

was looking through the secondary 1 and 2 texbooks..and i know i'll miss lower secondary life.. perhaps, i'm already missing it now.

although i have been using textbooks for almost everyday during sch days, and i should feel very familiar with the books..but i don't.i don't feel nostalgic..don't feel familiar..it feels as if the last i touched them was very long ago when it has only been a couple of weeks.i have forgot about how it feels, getting crazy over how much i have to study.

quite a long time ago, i've already realised that i've lost the feeling of feeling about something i've once experienced.no longer feel familiar with things i've once gone through..places i have stayed for longer than usual..streets that i once used to walk by everyday.

sometimes..i don't know when am i feeling nostalgic or whether i'm feeling nostalgic at all.

but deep down, i know that i do miss those things...those people..those places..

miss chua....

2006-10-26T18:32:00.000+08:00

passed miss chua the files needed for the eportfolio already..but....when i reached home..switched on the com..i found out that the cd-rom that i've stored my eportfolio gallery pictures is in my computer..grrrrr.that means that i've passed up an empty cd cover with no name..now, i'll have to send her the files through e-mail.

lunch was sushi for me and dan bing for loretta..shared a small part of our food.went to the library after that and i found the third book 'nights in rodanthe' by nicholas sparks finally..since i have been constantly finding love novels written by him as i've lost the vigor to search for other books and his books are not bad.i'm only afraid that i will soong et sick of love novels.

loretta left only after staying in the library for a short while as she wanna rush home to watch tv..!( ;P ) so..i stayed until 5+..only finish reading 2pages of 'nights in rodanthe'.other times were spent staring out of the glass window ..and sleep..until I feel like leaving.

enjoyed the time spent with her..

since sec2 adventure camp is confirm to be postpone..then i will have time for my injuries to recuperate..don't have to get MC from doctor to only attend light activities and bring medicine there in case.hope that new injuries won't be coming my way and old injuries better leave me alone..x)

2006-10-24T18:34:00.000+08:00

found this on xuemei's friendster.. nicely done by her
(edited:is done by vanessa my mistake! xP)

2006-10-24T18:21:00.000+08:00

Relatives from Malaysia came..so we went Sentosa during the day followed by vivo city for dinner.

My little cousins, Jedidaya, Jolene and Valerie were all there..i like jedidaya's name.He's still loving books as much as i saw him months ago..still as sophisticated and charming..haha.it has only been a few years and jolene is already p5.valerie as usual, shy initially but is actually playful..

Took the LUGE ride down the slope and then the Skyride back..after that..went to watch the 4d movie showing about pirates i think..the fourth effects were............you all go try haha

dinner was at swensen at vivo city.didn't like the huge holes on the building that was meant to be unique?!but white is a nice colour.the shopping mall is too big and complicated..

had my fav steak again.parents had chicken baked rice which i like..won't make you get sick and tired of the taste like the meals that pastamania offers..

didn't had the chance to eat beef la mian on sat night.i miss eating noodles..!

i want to do sports but i can't...!!!

2006-10-21T13:33:00.000+08:00

pain....but the pain on my right thigh is getting better.not like how it was.. giving me pain and aggros whenever i walk..once again..i'm not sure how i pulled the muscles there..but i did pull it anyway.

i use counterpain instead of seeing a doctor..it relieves me from pain and i think the pulled muscles are recovering already..so next time if you all pulled your muscles, try counterpain!

Morning buses have been rather empty these days due to the absence of JC2 students and sec 4s and 5s..quite like it though.

school hours is fully packed with post-exam activities that sometimes can bore us to death.however, not having to attend lessons is a reason good enough to go to school like usual routines.one acitivity that i enjoyed most was the sports carnival.bastetball games...captain's ball..touch rugby etc were going on.reminded me of primary school times..why can't they have more sports games going on..

relatives from malaysia are coming later in the night..maybe going to vivo city.

got to buy many things later..helping my sis buy too..

track pants..5yr a level chem papers..foolscap..green pen..return book..toothpaste..buy food also!

2006-10-13T18:11:00.000+08:00

so...on...tuesday..we went to had pasta at junction 8. I forgot what I ordered but it is pasta that consists of clams with white wine and the meal starts with a Vo...there wasn't alcohol in it and tasted quite bland.that's where the cheese come in!

after lunch we went to the playground at the open area to find seats.A cleaner kept looking at us and even said...
'later crack(playground) i will complain..'

wednesday and thursday was students' release days..went ice-skating on thursday.the usual crowd of people skating in circles in the ring..the coaches in blue sweaters coaching students..and the big bulky machine that smoothed the bladed ice ring.

once again..saw many kids skating through the taller and bigger sizes people..fear was also evident on their faces when they struggle from falling.innocence..

took photos in ..er..near to the centre of the ring.approahed a uncle who's counted an expert at skating and braking on the ice.

(oh..and felicia..tianwei..juinli..shimin and tinting..get the photos we took from zoey or me.will be sending you all a zipped folder with a video inside.the video's the last file.)

yeah..stayed there in the blasting and yet soothing and yet jazzy music with the smell of the ice and cold air freezing my nose and brain for 4 hours..my top and jeans also reeks of 'ice' now.

before heading home..went to buy long xu tang for family.(dragon's beard sweet?! i think that's roughly the name)

everyone thought that it was their dooms day today cause we were informed that we will get back all papers.but look what happened?
slackish day...

today marks the end of this week and 2 more weeks..mark the end of school year.

and this is specially left over for my sis.

2006-09-07T20:38:00.000+08:00

ok.I'm always feeling like eating and forever eating.even right before and after meals.When I have nothing to do, i eat. When i don't feel like doing something, i eat. When i want a break. i also eat.

So..below are two photos of what I have recently consume other than my 'minced' rockmelon with milk last time.

I present to you the...milk with milo powder and three little cornflakes.Honey-flavoured and crispy.

I know it looks disgusting and may even make you nauseous but then..it tasted nice ok. :P

Hmm..so for today..I did a trial on my home econs practical exam.For your information..we are required to create an ethnic dish that involve 3 key ingredients from various ethnic groups.

My dish:
Spaghetti with pineapple
1)Thai-pineapple(from the idea of pineapple rice)haha

2)German-Small pieces of french loaf(bread) (bread is essential for German diet)

3)Malay-Shallots,onions and garlic

4)Italian-spaghetti+tomato sauce+mozzarella cheese (saw the recipe Mock Lasagne from my mum's recipe book and modify it)

That's about all basically.Albeit Mum got me some ingredients yesterday already..I still need to make a sortie to the market to get the rest.

This morning..went to the market to buy chicken breast meat,french loaf,mozzarella cheese,carrots.. but I forgot the mushrooms.Collected the developed photos of SAFTI visit.

Shopping for groceries ain't easy.Firstly..while i was trying to get minced chicken, i realised that supermarkets don't sell that.They sell whole piece or parts of chicken that are not minced.If you want minced meat, get either pork or..beef? So in the end, i looked for help at the bakery.my mum is working there.haha.She helped me 'ordered' the chicken breast meat for me and rushed back to her working place.My job was to pay the $1.40. ;P

I also got the mozzarella cheese.200g,4 bucks.you have to 'sliced' yourself while the other packet same brand,200g too,sliced,5.10bucks.so ex.

Headed to 'Hong Mao' to get carrots at 3 for 70cents.Didn't know how to choose the good ones.

I also observed that women pay more attention when buying groceries.For example, men, they see the carrots, they go for it, anyhow pick up one packet , and they pay for it.

Went back home, kept the ingredients and did some theory work.When lunch time came..and i was sick of doing work..i went to prepare the ingredients.

Everything ended rather smoothly.although I burnt the first ingredients added into the pan(shallots) and forgot to season the minced chicken when i had already started the fire..the dish was still passable.

haha.

Many hours spent under the sun these few days.

and..this has result in an even more uneven tan on my arms due to the attire-pe shirt and track pants. The worst and salient tan is found on my face.Reddish and a mixture of brown at the cheeks and forehead..tomato again.but turning brown real soon.

On Saturday, it was the first hpt training session.And so..we learnt belaying and the different roles in the belaying team.Suffered from minor rope burns.

1st line of safety:Belayer (of course) to belay the climber

2nd line of safety:Anchorman to hold the belayer to the groud at all times

---rope man(helps to keep the rope and also acting as a line of safety----

3rd and last line of safety:Rope Manager to make sure that the ropes aren't entangle and keep the ropes properly(acting as a last line of safety in case the first 2 lines of safety 'break' off)

Belaying marked the first half of the day while learning about knots and equipments wrapped up the second half.

Knots:
1)Reef Knot

2)Clove Hitch

3)Double Figure of 8

4)Alpine Butterfly

5)Double Figure of 8 on a byte

6)Double Fisherman

Went back to school this morning for another practice of belaying once again.Changed into half-u, went for lunch, returned a library book and sauntered my way back to school.

2006-09-01T14:36:00.000+08:00

yesterday was one of the best times in my life.enjoyed myself so much..wholly.

No practical for home econs today.so it means that the baking of chocolate biscuits or cookies was the last one..and the home econs wokring area is truly ingenious for sleeping.though it is quite humid and hot.

the new teacher who took over Miss Lim today for home econs was boring.I found myself unknowingly, in a daze while she was still blabbering facts about our diet throughout.took a short rest as i shut my eyes as sherri's head was blocking her view of me. :P

Teacher's Day theme for this year-World Cup
hmm..i think it's interesting as long as they are people who dress for the theme and make themselves the eye candies.

played basketball during pe.i felt happy.
i feel good..nananananana.

2006-08-24T18:11:00.000+08:00

tired.restless.most of my energy have been sapped.every time..the fatigue sets in in the morning when I get out of bed.not that I don’t want to go to school but ..i don’t have energy for activities.crazy laughters in school help to make amends..

realized that many people are getting sick and tired of school and studies.so am I, sometimes.things have got better as compared to last year. if the world would place less focus on studies..wouldn’t less students get driven crazy? :P

came online to do some IT work..however, I have only got half of it done.going to nap first.

2006-08-20T20:57:00.000+08:00

Busy doing science theory workbook while checking the answers with the ones uploaded in MLG.Those undone chapters left blank were supposed to be completed before common tests.but..i am only getting started on it now.

also adjusting the volume of the speakers time and again for the music to suit my concentration levels at different time..haha

Arghhh.i fogot a lot of facts due to these two carefree weeks..loosen the grip of my schedule and routine.that's why.

i still want my break!

2006-08-20T17:02:00.000+08:00

what i want to say is..many people critisize others but they didn't realise that they are talking about themselves.

ironic ya.

I got my spectables.look weird..to me.
Slackish today.did some housework and tiny weeny bit of work..then spent my day suking a lollipop while lying on a sofa and listening to the radio.

2006-08-19T13:37:00.000+08:00

anyone can do empty talk and say they know they understand etc.

i have seen many people's actions and attitude which don't reflect what they say.that's why i don't know whether to trust a not.

some people make me wish that i had never know them.

teachers' day is approaching.time to get ready the cards and gifts.end of year examinations is in 5 weeks time..short of time.

getting new spectacles later..

2006-08-17T21:51:00.000+08:00

Took pictures in a rush..when we went on a visit to ford factory or fort factory at upper bukit timah hill.'Ford' was spelled at the big display board there while 'fort' was spelled on our consent forms. I think its Ford Factory.

Watch a video..short interviews and bombings.I love black and white films. Toured the 'display section' there while scribbling down notes frantically.Many interesting pictures and stuffs shown..however..the 6 pages of notes to be completed was too much for us to have time for touring for leisure.there are still blank pages even now.:P Thus, took photos(when i don't know whether i'm allowed to)when the teachers annouced that we were supposed to leave already.Snapped here and there and this made the picutes unclear. .

Double science periods were spent in the computer lab today..laughed till my muscles hurt together with the pain caused by incline pull ups.haha.lijia and yongmei is the cause of it .yong mei was so straight forward in her comments on the grading system for pw groups that she 'copied' from the examples...

for instance..the example says..

How can the project be improved? Suggest an area (E.g. hypothesis, control, data analysis, etc)
then yong mei wrote..

Group C-the hypothesis

Group D-the control

Group E-the data analysis

Group F-the hypothesis

My common tests results dropped.eh..these months, i have been quite slack and relax about revision and studies.but more on tv programmes and keen on doing sports.Although i studied..but i think i was too relax about the tests..so, maybe i lost my focus. i can go back to the hectic schedule of keeping track of my progress every now and then and that would probably bring better results..however..i feel that i need to stop and think about what i really want..and need.

i think i don't balance well enough.

remember what i said before?

'Some people spent their lifes pursuing things they do not really want just because they could not bear the idea of others having it..'

Anyway, today had 2 stations for physical fitness test.i did badly for my incline pull-up and sit and reach.Arghh.My armpower wasn't so bad in the past and..i'm really weak for the muscles at the waist. haha.

Have been having the idea of learning diving months ago..but..hmm.

Had a great laugh during aseembly on last friday..Ms Yoges was teaching the school to recite the Tamil pledge and..you know. the school's talent of mimicry made the whole thing seemed like kind of a joke.

Li Jia was shaking with uncontrollable laughter and i couldn't stop laughing.It's not that we weren't showing respect for the pledge but many times..we tend to laugh like lunatics like no one's watching.while studying..i often take breaks and broke out in laughter for many times already.stress?!?!haha!

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

Ran and learnt the steps for ACES day yesterday afternoon..the steps for this year is more interesting and fun.The song ' Do Wah Diddy' is lively and cute..I like the steps for this year.Feel as if we are doing aerobics..and a little dance.haha Perspire a lot under the hot sun and I enjoyed the run and exercises.

Among the seniors or friends( i treat them as).. there's a trio who are true friends.can sense sincerity and loyalty among them.Such true and nice people..!

Don't know whether the aces day steps will lift the students' spirits not..hopefully it will..

Going to see the optician to check my eyesight.My left eye's degrees must have increased!?!?Arghh.
I can never find a pair of spectacles that suits me..and my sis says that I look so different with specs and without it.

haha?!

2006-08-09T23:59:00.000+08:00

okay, so the NDP parade is over.i like to see the basketball guys handling the ball skillfully..and i suddenly started to like the school band.i don't know the reason.The school gave out Merlion shaped chocolates.they were cute.

went somerset and then far east with the girls..not much catching up with each other was done but the trip was still something .Had fried mars bar which i long wanted to try.. but didn't get the chance..tasted..er..alright..not bad?

it's difficult to shop in singapore as the things are so common.can be seen anywhere and everywhere you go.well..was doing home econs ' coursework..hope it'll get done as soon as possible so i can push it aside for the moment. :P still left with other work..so i will still have to continue with work tomorrow! -.-"

Happy National Day singapore..!

2 years going to be over soon..as much as i want to make an effort to know the class better..some things are not meant to be.. some things..we will only realise during seperation..

2006-08-07T21:10:00.000+08:00

The school had a long day in school today.We had the run-through of NDP rehearsal and although a lot of waiting here and there,I feel that everything is worth it.The uniform groups look smart, especially when the cadets removed their hats and put it on again.

There is still a lot to complete in this short week.Feeling lazy to continue with work.

Miss Chua's and home economics' papers today were worth taking..require more of application skills rather than memorisation..most favourable to me..!

I have been more concise in my posts because like Michael Jordan, I don't believe in leading vocally but in actions.

Friday assembly was scheduled for the perfoming arts. And thus, the choir performed a last item for Miss Chung, All I Ask Of You. And thanks Jia Ni for cheering..it feels good to have your support while I'm on stage.

The choir did a bad job in both songs and I could see audience giggling and mumbling throughout the whole concert , pointing at their friends and laughing? haha. They appear to be facetious although they liven up the mood.

However..choir practice lifted my mood when we did The Heavenly Aeroplane. It was jazzy and can be said as an allegro. Miss Yee praised that we did well in high notes..despite the strain we felt at our vocals.

Did sectionals for A Red Red Rose, another love song other than All I Ask Of You. A Red Red Rose is slow but mellifluous. The tune reminds me of the sea..a man making a promise to his lady that his love will last even all the seas gang dry.Sounds dramatic eh?but the song did touched me.

I enjoy both songs that we have touched so far for Sing Out concert this end of year..I hope you guys would come and support the three schools.

Down with flu this weekend. I'm trying to cope without medicine..it better recovers!Work harder ya,my white blood cells.

I'm still in a state of dither about nect year subject combination.
1)triple science,A-maths and elective history
2)Chemistry and Physics, A-maths and elective history

Those two combinations mentioned above are not neccesary what I might choose too.Not striking out geography in my list. I would love to know more about Biology but not study the scientific terms.so selfish right.. :X

Arghhh..none of the combinations hold a firmer stand..and I am not sure whether the choice of subjects are so flexible.Okok..leave it till another day ..

2006-07-31T10:26:00.000+08:00

I quite enjoyed today's IT day on the chinese comprehension. The main reason is that there wasn't learning to be done and it's a comprehension passage.haha..I will leave literature after common tests.

For the past few days, I have been going on a binge.Ate a lot of roti-prata,pizzas,fruits,dried salted fish and many more.Food and beverages make my day more passable. :D

Although history lessons are easy to assimilate, but the facts are difficult to organise!haha..it's ok..i will take my time..as people say education takes a lifetime. :P

dont get so caught up with studying..slow down and you will notice many things that we've once missed out..life shouldn't be only a race..isn't it?

2006-07-25T11:23:00.000+08:00

Today was an IT day again..Had much more work to complete as compared to other IT days.Nevertheless..it took a reasonable amount of time.

Lazing in bed this morning..was so dreary that I dropped my eyelids after punching the button on the alarm clock.Anyway..I bought a volleyball last sunday while shopping at sembewang shopping centre... :)..want to go to the beach to play a few games of volleyball..In the mean time, I will still get a touch on the ball when I feel like it.

Recently, I have been trying out weird combinations of food as usual..but I am doing that more often these days.

My first attempt was cutting papaya in quite big cubes and having it in a cup of milk.It did make a healthy combination of fibre and calcium but however..it was simple..not very interesting.

And then..I 'minced' slices of rockmelon and add it into half a bowl of milk. Well,it tasted refreshing especially when you chew on the small bits of rockmelon and the natural sweetness of the juice fills your mouth.

Ahaha..it somehow became one of my favourite combination of rockmelon and milk and I had two bowls of 'that'(should i name it?:P) yesterday.

1)melonmilk?
2)rockmilk
3)milkrock
4)rockymelonmilk
5)milkmelon

That's what people do when...bored.

Completed most of my workload already..still left with the electricity worksheet.Don't want to figure out the details..My shoulder muscle aches are coming back again..and it's going to be a long wait for the 5stations of physical fitness test to come.most probably after common test?

Had ball games for 1/2 the class today..played vollyeball and touch abit on captain's ball and monkey..the volleyball is dirty..my hands are having very slight rashes now..luckily,they aren't reddish.suffering from a few blue blacks on left hand..the volleyball blows must been too great.haha.I want to play beach volleyball..!Glad that I did sports today..

So long since i dribbled the ball..when to have a game of bball eh?6courage..

Many assume they are the ones making choices ..but you're a choice of others too. Some don't even choose..for they do not allow themselves to become a choice of others neither do they choose.(i don't really get this part..but it somehow make sense ya.)in other words..they don't bother?To them,no gain no loss. Isn't that selfishness..some appears to have split personalities and Attitude displayed in different areas.. example.. blogs, work,actions,speeches,attitudes,dressing.

why do people seek joy by making a fool out of others..why.

they can do live wholly well now but they can never continue to live life like that.

Dined at crystal jade moments ago..had sliced beef congee.Eating too much of beef these days..cannot resist the temptation.I'm afraid that I will become more hairy..

Bought packaged Famous Amos cookies at fairprice.It is sold at 5bucks+ for 340g where as the freshly baked ones 4.70bucks for 100g.Of course i go for the cheaper one..

haha.
ok..back to school tomorrow..well,hope that I will be able to wake up at 6.20..without feeling grouchy.

2006-07-16T15:03:00.000+08:00

Organised my history answers into 'slides'..It was a long one..about describing the relationship between the British and the local people.

Feeling giddy these days..think I will need iron tablets.My desk is currently in a big mess.Books are piled on my desk in a haphazrd fashion.I don't even have a space on my desk for studying now..anyway.i don't use my study room..don't like the environment..havent use the desk since p6?while i was studying for psle..haha And I still have not find time to read TIMES magazine..covering on Italy as the world cup champion.=]

Woke up really late these two days..it isn't the fatigue that sets in after the week..i don't know what's wrong with me.Perhaps..i just lack the vigor to get work started.

As routines have started..the imminent test routine is falling on next week.A few more months and this year will end..how fast...

2006-07-13T22:19:00.000+08:00

I am back to update once again..

Recently..i found out something silly.One of the reasons that always cause my shoulders' muscles aches is.. because it becomes tense easily and I don't practice 'good postitions'.. and this has somehow landed me into the 'occupational hazard' group.And..and..the main cause is actually due to my sleeping postition of my neck or head..!
erm..I felt that my head was resting on a rather low postition on the pillow one night so I adjusted my head to rest on a higher level forthwith .Now..the condition seem to have improved..albeit I do experience occasional muscle aches still..

no wonder all the visits to the doctors have proven to be extra and redundant..? I even stopped bringing single periods books ever since homeroom started to ease the pain ..and i will continue doing so.

Took a nap after school this afternoon..little work to be done..felt dreary and listless..not because I was exhausted mentally or emotionally but the idea of completing work after rounds of lessons made me grim..eh..was tired too thus pushed backwards my routine a little..

I am getting facts and definations into my mind at an incremental pace..and I hope it persist..eh..attitude towards things..yeah..

I hope I will get to hear more and more speeches given by Mrs Carolin Tan for the rest of my years in PHS..

sorry for posts that come in slow and few..this is a concise and boring post..

2006-07-04T22:45:00.000+08:00

I prevented a 'going to break-out' fever a few days ago during the long weekend..however,unexpectedly..the fever almost came back again after the 2.4km run this morning.

Initially,I was considering not to run as there was additional old injuries especially on the right thigh.But after the run..I actually brought back my old injury of my left thigh at the 3rd-4th round..And after i decided to make a visit to the doctor at polyclinic(it was on the way)right after school,the doctor actually said that i pulled my muscles which I thought/felt that.. it was my veins stretching all the way from left thigh to the hip.She wasn't polite and..her reply to my questions were disingenious.

Now,I can't even walk or climb the stairs properly..but I guess I would still run next tuesday if my condition does not aggravate.Will be going to Guardian to check for knee guard and other protective measures for my thighs tomorrow afternoon.Hopefully,I will be going on a sortie to buy cranberry juice for the blending of Vodka for the family.

As a lover of sports,I should know better to let injuries come in my way.

Have you ever felt so thirsty that you would try putting the shower head into your mouth?or was feeling so warm that made you habour thoughts of jumping into the Kallang River.

Were you ever so dreary that you forgot to blink your eyes?
or was having such a bad flu that you blow the hairdryer right at your nose.

Were there times when you had so much to do but you felt like doing nothing?or when you are putting up a brave front when your heart just wants to give in..

You must have experienced these times mentioned above..but hey..everything will still be over.
