1 more hour to April Fool's day! We got our revenge! Liverpool won, no.... It's OWNED Arsenal 4-1! Pure ownage. The ultimate revenge. I missed the match because went out for dinner. Wayne told me it was 4-1 and I checked www.liverpoolfc.tv. Confirmed! Cant wait for the highlights to come out on www.lup4o.com.Friday, March 30, 2007

My new blogskin! Finally finished editing. We had swimming today but I did not bring my goggles so i ended up swallowing water. We had medical check-up today so skipped art. During PD there was this dumb computer/video gaming survey. The questions were ridiculous. The questions suggests everyone is a gamer. About half of them make you out to be an addict. They never consider those who, dont or currently dont, play games. Imagine dreaming while sleeping about throwing stars. WTF... Amusing...Wednesday, March 28, 2007
What can i do now? Added the song... homework done.. Cant go downstairs play soccer. I wanted to kick the ball on monday but ending up kicking the floor-barefooted. Ouch. Its easier to play soccer barefooted. Better control. Now my toe injured. Maybe should study for bio test which is next week. Ok i am going to do just that.* 28 March *
Car reviewI decided to do a car review today because i have quite little homework today and also got nothing to do on the computer. Also because this is my favourite of the range.
Torque: 500Nm Horsepower: 306bhp Displacement: 4999cc V8 Top Speed: 250kmh (electronically limited) but somehow managed to get to 254kmh once. This is one hot car! It can make some tire marks on the roads without launching it. Happened at vivocity when the car traffic was so heavy(not a jam just many cars passing by) that my father just jabbed the accelerator all the way at the junction when we were just a few metres from an incoming car. Did it for fun too when we were almost reaching home that night. Better than the Porsche Boxster. It was the car that raced with the surprisingly-fast evo on the night before chinese new year. I am lucky to be still alive after that race... Counting how many really really close shaves there were... thanks to great control and handling. Also the one which smoked that Lexus ES300 that was somehow trying to poke our back on the 2nd night of Chinese new year.

* Weekend 24-26 Mar *
Haha finally updating. I feel like adding more stuff to this blog. Making it more magazine-like for example. Once you start, you will feel like writing more. But when you stop you wont feel like writing anymore. OR at least thats what i think. I got my bike repair last week and had some fun riding around the carpark. I am now quite clear as to what cars there are and who owns them. I found a new blogskin. Scheduled to be applied by end of the week. I find this current one very boring. The new one will confirm be more classy.I got back my maths paper on Thursday. I think, or maybe a better word would be I am sure, I will get skinned-alive. Possibly even beheaded. Got to study more on maths now. English, Lit, and science are the good ones. Maths and geog bad. The rest good enough. I dont understand what is happening to the subject which used to be my best. Then english was my worst last year. Seems like they decided to swop places.
I got really fed up with my maid and Ronald on saturday. Long story but soon there will be nobody to bully ronald. I hope. I have devised a plan. Totally unevil. Just the villian digging her own grave. Still, ronald has to co-operate and overcome his fear of her. He is sooo scared of her. Like what can see do? She is clearly taking advantage of the fact that ronald is afraid of her to boss him around. This is no way man... he must not allow her to control him. Then next is use his brain more.

Its recess now and im at the school library. Havent been able to use the com at home for the past few days. I felt so sleepy during english today cos i slept at 12.30 last night. Whiteley taught us summary for compre... super waste time cos tuition teacher already taught. Same old stuff. Haiz later still got maths tuition at my auntie's house after sch. Maths to dam boring and tedious this year.I've just checked nTrix. Haha nalli singh really remembered to write the pardon letter for me, as i hoped. Or else thats the end for me. Today got new history teacher replacing her. Nice guy and does not shout his lungs out.
Mr bean is coming out on thursday! the best comedy ever. The most worth-to-watch movie. So far bryan, julian, isaac, zhen wei and myself are going. Anyone else want to join us just tell me.
I went for go-karting on saturday. Super fun but on looking back, i shouldnt have been so tense, which caused a muscleache. Until now... I turned the steering wheel so little, no wonder i have so much problem clearing the hairpin. Then there was this fatty who came. I saw him behind me on the first lap and underestimated him. I thought i would be able to lap him. End up i look behind he was even closer. If only i relaxed more, then i would have been able to just glide around the last few sharp turns. Then on the turn before and after the straights i didnt follow the racing line. Which was wasted cos that means i didnt maximize the advantage. Anyway, im determined to be more relaxed while cornering and follow the racing line better the next time i go there, after my review. Wonder when i can go there again. Wish i had my own kart. Then can train there whole day long for just 70RM.

I think i am going to fall sick soon. Sneezing alot today. It could be due to me no sleeping when i got home yesterday. Only sleeping at the normal time around 11+. I just baked some cookies for myself. Taste quite nice. But i put them on the wrong level in the oven. So they are either burnt at the bottom or top. Very few of them are well done. I must practice making more often. Today didn't go out. Stay at home all day long. Tag on my tagboard!Wednesday, March 14, 2007

Cooked fishes
It was raining but in the end it subsided and my dad agreed to send me to east coast for fishing. So i packed my stuff and met ezra and glenn at the bedok jetty. Then they were having trouble pitching the tent so glenn's father helped them. And he kept hurrying him so his father said hurry your ass la! You think this thing so easy to do is it? Lol then when we pulled up a small crab from the cage he said what the crab what the crab. He's a joker la. Now im sooo tired. Just got a ride from glenn's mum to julians house. Now waiting for my mum to pick me up. Haha i only slept 4 hours last night. But at least i got to sleep cos the other 2 couldnt manage to sleep. Too busy. I dozed off at around 1 and woke up at around 3. About 5 hours in total. After that i started jigging for bait fish. Around 4am things started to get easier. I got poked by the hook while trying to untangle it. Ouch. But 5am no fish. Hand very pain from jigging so i went into the tent to sleep. Woke up around 8 because the sun was super hot and the tent was getting stuffy. The other 2 went to burger king for breakfast. I still havent had my breakfast until now, going for lunch soon. Zzz my mother will confirm ask me what i ate for breakfast. We caught about close 100 small bait fish in total. But still no big fish. We had like more than 3 10ft+ rods for catching big ones. But no bite. The squid certainly wasnt working very hard to be eaten lol. Then came the packing up time. We pulled up our cage and found a crab. Im currently having trouble uploading the pictures. Will upload when i can.

* Fishes *
This is the pic of all the fishes we caught last time. Really small... We had 3 more slightly bigger fishes but returned them back to the sea. Dun need to count. Its about 40+.
* 31 Mar 2007 *
3xsquared - 4x=15 (Whatis x?)Argh i was half complete with my post last night but i accidentally deleted it. Zzz... now i have to start all over again.
But never mind that. Its the hols! Haha which means soccer + fishing! I went to ccab to play soccer with ac, ming tow, ezra, jun tian, wei wen and joshua teo yesterday morning. We were supposed to meet at 8.10 but 3 people were late. So we just kicked around. Then the rest came and we started.
After that i went to meet my mum at waffletown. a lorry driver reversed and knocked into our car. Small scratches and a dent on the front bonnet. Nothing much. Luckily the driver's boss was kind and friendly enough so he compensated us. Not like some people who just try to avoid it. Then we went to coronation to buy some meat and went home.
We went to The Ship for lunch and walked around orchard. Me and bro went to sony gallery. He played psp ridge racer, which was kind of for beginners. Its the easiest and most unrealistic game in the world. Then we went to rail mall cold storage. I bought motoring magazine.
Today its a very packed day for me. Now i am at julian's house. Later i have to go to my auntie's house for tuition (she teaches me) and then its overnight fishing trip at night! Only me,ezra and glenn. Its been a long time since the last i went fishing. We are going to bedok jetty again. Hope we catch the really big fishes this time. Everytime catch the small one very boring.

Forgot to mention that i got dc on wednesday. I was reading a car mag during history project discussion and then nalli singh sent me for dc. On friday after school i went to look for her at the staff room and she promised to write me a pardon note. So i can escape! Probably was because it was her last day-Shes not teaching us anymore. Anyway she said she will be going back to school during the hols. Hope she remembers.I skipped english tuition on friday too. I went out.
Cousins stayed over last night. Just went home. They're ronald's age group. So they kept shouting and making alot of noise even though it was already 1am!
Went to IT show this morning. Mum bought a Zen neeon 2 and we went home.

* long story 8 Mar 2007 *
Selling custom sony ericsson themes for just $1. Haha thats my new way bring forward the date i get my PSP! Parents dun want to buy for me, i buy myself. Im making one now. Theme: LA Lakers and Kobe Bryant, Yellow and purple.
I got back my history test today. Just had the test yesterday. Lol the teacher marks dam fast. Today got literature essay test. I did the usual, slacking, trying to sleep during the first period then be really hardworking the 2nd. Seems to work well for me lol.

After school yesterday i went to julian's house to kill time while waiting for the run at 3.45. Played gran turismo and singstar '80. Haha i won him this time. Did lots of stretching after that.
Then...I went for napfa 2.4km run. Really went lightweight. Didnt drink alot, no stitches. Also ate very little. So i managed to glide all the way. Just a bag of fries from cafe. I thought it was quite an interesting and good run. I was very excited for the run but when i reached the track i started to feel quite nervous. Legs are not aching as bad as i thought it would. I discovered a way to push myself forward or create an artificial 'slope'. I did it from the 1.8 to 1.9km mark. But my joints were burning after a while and i looked like a running zombie so i stopped. What i did was to put my arms hanging in front of me, which makes me lean forward and sort of pulls me. At the start i ran at my most comfortable speed. Didn't try to start slow. I still get tired all the same. By 50metres i was ahead of everyone in my group(all started slow). You see, sometimes starting slow works for some people, but just not me. Ran the first 200m comfortably without breathing difficulties. I only started running breathing hard at around 300metres. Which was quite nice because i had been just running my comfortable speed for the first 200m. Especially the straight. It felt good overtaking those who had started earlier and had no more breath. And the straights! One nice straight lane. But then there were alot of people walking on the innermost lane so it was quite irritating because i had to run on the second lane. Make me run a few more metres more! But then by the end of the second lap there were people starting to overtake me. I found out it is not easy concentrating on the race. I tried to keep up with ezra running just behind him(i wasnt running the fastest i could before that). But i was afraid i wouldnt have enough steam to run the last few rounds so i let him go. He sure can run fast. By the end of the race he was half the track ahead of me. I think i managed to do the run at 11.-- mins. Not really sure because when you run like that at full speed your mind ends up in a whirl. I only heard 11-something. The whole thing was computerized so it was hard to find out. But i think whiteley is going to give us the list of our timings soon and ask us to sign against it. At the end i sweated like some soaked cloth.
My mum brought the china students out for dinner. It was supposed to be a month-end meal. I walked around west mall and saw this shop selling PSPs. But it had no price tag on it and i didnt bother to ask.
There is this guy from the china students group named xavier. His iPod got spoiled the same way as mine- forgot to take out from pocket and into the washing machine. But apple aftersales service is dam good la. Better than creative-they charge you for repairs. Guess what apple did. They gave him a brand new iPod-even though it wasnt their fault that it was spoiled. So lucky. End: Creative charged $88- i chose not to repair it. Apple gave a brand new iPod for free-even though it wasnt their fault it was spoiled and i think they knew it as there were traces of water inside.

I want a PSP! Yes, i want it. But not enough vitamin M to buy. Im trying really hard to earn some now. Selling sony ericsson handphone themes haha. Dad wont give money. But i can get my pocket money from him when he comes back. Then i'll be a step closer. Planning to buy SECRETLY. I might spend the hong bao money(i usually save it in the bank). One thing good is that PS3 is coming out tomorrow according to digital life. So the price of the PSP should NOSEDIVE. Yes!There's napfa 2.4km run tomorrow. Haha so excited. So many weeks of training during PE. Hope it doesnt come to waste. This is the time when my light-weightness will come into play-advantage. Im going to beat my last year record. Think i can do it (im abit lighter this year). My weight to height percentage is only 70% haha. thats just a step away from SEVERELY underweight. I plan to sprint all the way tomorrow. The point is that if you start slow, you still feel tired. so its useless. Just run as fast as you can or 90-95% of ur max sprint(100m dash) as long as you can. From there just jog or run as fast as you can. What im worried of is that today theres no stretching or exercise. Scared i can sprint fast enough.
During history today the teacher didnt come. So we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. Then gabriel pulled out his umbrella which had the army camoflauge on it and opened it. Looked so cartoonish. Funny looking. Haiz thursday got maths test. Im afraid i am going to screw up maths this year. I really am.
About to sleep soon. Tonight 3am got liverpool match. 50-50 chance to wake up and watch it. Luckily they are already 2-1 up. So long as they maintain can already. Just dun be complacent, liverpool. Then same as the liverpool year, the champions get knocked out during the knock out run. Waiting to see ur disappointed faces, Barca!
Lets just face it. Life is like that-You DONT get what YOU WANT, but GET what you DONT WANT.

* Good things... 4 Mar 2007 *
But wait! Maybe its not that bad if i try to focus on the good things that happen. That were supposed to make last week a nice one.Oh yes, i forgot to mention that we got a new car!-Fiat Stilo Michael Schumacher Edition. Haha... its been a year since the last new car. But this one not so solid. Just that its manual transmission so dad bought it. Not a bad buy though.
Today mum took bro and i out to tony romas at orchard for lunch. Then decided to go to isetan after we went to forum. While walking to isetan, we passed by hilton hotel. And... there were 3 lambos there! So we just stood there and admired the cars (yes, drooling in a way). These cars can own 99% of the cars on singapore roads even if just half the accelerator is stepped. Dun even need to say 3/4 or floored. After waiting for a while a CLK500 came, and 2 more lambors turned up. One convertible gallardo and orange Marcielargo. We went into the hotel to see how the owners were like and sat a few tables away from them. Like half an hour later we saw more people joining their table. I went out and checked. Guess what! Two more appeared! One more Marcielargo LP640(this one added a spoiler) and a Ferrari Challenge Stradals. By now there were many tourists taking photos and videos. It was kind of a rare sight. You dun see lambors( many of them) everyday. I looked into the Lambor with spoiler. Saw the stick shift, and the speedometer! The max number in most cars is 240-260kmh. Guess this one...! 360kmh! I was like super shocked. Even though the car may not necessarily go up to 360, but at least it is somewhere almost there. 330?! Finished the tea, heard the sound of a lamborghini going off. Dam loud. Then went to isetan and went home.
Next good thing, i finally got back my english results on friday. Topped class but tied with 4ppl(tie again as usual). My science and english results are making me more motivated to study both subject even more. Makes me like to write too. This year i am going to fight with 2A1 (oh what high ambititons). I should be able to do it(or at least thats what i think). Had geography test today. Hope at least can pass. This one is really hard.
I got everything firgured out nicely. I must continue to do english and science even more. Because CA marks only 15% of total year. Zzz! Maybe its a bit of a wasted effort still a good start. Like so much work but less yield. But this means that even if i fail my other subjects(for CA1 only). Im still in a 'safe' position. Look, 100%-15%(presumbly all fail)=85%. Still 10% away from A1 so still can make it. Haha 10% 'cushion'. Thats all for this week.
Sad things do happen... ezra's mum passed away on saturday. She used to be a teacher in acs primary. Was my form teacher in p3 and taught my bro when he was p1. The last time i saw her she looked fine. But had been in critical condition this week. Then on friday ezra suddenly just left school quietly. I only fought out like in the evening. Not sure how the news leak out. Cos he did not tell anyone. and then suddenly while i was waiting at the petrol station for my dad after tuition i received a call from julian. I asked him if it was true and he couldnt give me a definite answer so i called isaac. You see, its something like this Isaac's friend's friend--->Isaac's friend--->Isaac--->Julian--->Winston. Ezra's dad probably phoned the school and it leaked out from some teacher. Now everyone is going to give the pitiful sad child look at ezra in school which he dreads.
I went to the wake last night. His sister(older than him) was crying all out. Can see the red eyes and the tears.
I watched liverpool vs man united last night. I thought it was either liverpool was going to win 1-0 or at least a draw. Then we got unlucky. 90+1" min, almost ending. That crappy john o shea scored in a goal mouth scramble. I was wtf! Like that also can. Sad weekend la...
