Somewhere only we know is starting to be a real nice song. Nice and meaningful. Top of the charts. Song of the week.
Today is the public holiday so stay at home until 5 o'clock then father took whole family out. Went to view one industrial building called enterprise hub. I like the place-as in not the unit itself. I like the carpark area. Every floor the carpark is right outside the unit. Which means you can actually drive up to your unit. Whether it is 1st floor or 6th floor or 9th floor. Which is good. But the better thing is that since the place was launched only recently, it is quite deserted. Plus the carpark area is quite huge. Like 200m or more Length and 20m Breadth. Thats big. Look at it without any cars. Its like one hangar that is for storing planes. High ceilings. Which if you know what i am thinking, means a place to learn to drive-i am always thinking about the day i drive for the first time. I have recently found out a method of learning to drive from a very reliable source. Using auto gearbox of course. Just put the transmission to D and the car will creep slowly, making it easy to steer. When you've got it, then you slowly start accelerating and thats how you learn yourself. Note: Try this only in deserted place. Meaning, no cars no people at all. Like? The carpark which i saw. Now my dad thinks im nuts and DANGEROUS and my mum thinks im overly car-crazy because I told them about how my friend named X(What a screwed up name) is a 13-year-old and can drive like an average driver and how his whole family supports him and why thats great and why that supports the fact that you do not have to be rich to be happy. Which is not true, for the mum part, at least. I am not car-crazy. I am driving-crazy. You see, this guy comes from Kampong, so very deserted, uncilivised, nobody to enforce law. Which all points to-LUCKY and HAPPY. It also shows that SOMETIMES lawlessness does make people happy. SOMETIMES. Anyway, back to the story, my dad brought binoculars there to see the city view and some islands around singapore. The view there is not bad. 9th floor and the ceiling is super high. Like 10m? So in a way it is 20 floors. Around that region. Then we went off to Marina South(told you we went 'travelling'). There was some beach there and as usual got the binoculars. This time dad wanted to see if he could see Bayshore Park from there. Didnt really bother me because the first thing i saw when i went there is people fishing. So i just kept watching them fish. They look like quite experienced fishermen but i think just that no fish so they caught only small ones. The place is rocky terrain with a lot of rocks and then got very few people fishing. Water there is rather choppy. No jetty just shore fishing. SOMEBODY's favourite. But the line gets trapped ever so often. After that went to pasir panjang eat dinner. I had stingray! Normally we go to Lau Pa Sat for the best stingray in the world(or at least i think it is) but we decided to try out new places for a change. The one at pasir panjang got a few stalls and ordered from 2 of them for a comparison. First one alot of chilly then very spicy. The other one was the worst. Even the newton hawker centre one also better. What next? Went home lor... what else P.S. I cant stop thinking about when my dad is going to have enough trust in me to hand me the car, with him at the sideseat. 18?? Thats a long time. At least he let me control the steering while the car was creeping(term we use when no brakes nor throttle is applied but car just moves). But he was at the drivers seat and i was at the back seat. Anyway i felt it was quite easy to regulate the steering.
Tomorrow i got tuition. Sad la.. tuition is like taking up my holiday time. Next thursday night got tuition. Night not so bad. Then fridays got tuition also. Somemore day. And at siglap so it becomes some what of a half a day affair. Tuition at 10 in morning(good) Finishes at 12, reach home 2(bad). Leaves me like how it is during school days. Waste time. Must learn to start waking up at 6am during holidays. Then i dont waste time. Time is precious.
I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know

Now on to my fever. This camp really juiced me so i got a fever just a little over an hour after i reached home. It went 39.0 degrees at the highest. Then yesterday it was 37.5-38.7. Keep going up and down. I kept imagining too. Like there was a sound sounding like a fan rotating and then 2 things spinning super fast beside me. Got that twice. Once in the afternoon which i ended up kicking around and struggling while lying down like some retard having his spasm or his fit. Cos those things really can control your mind. I got up and was sweating like i ran my 2.4km. In the evening i got that again but this time i remained strong so i overcame it. Lasted about 5 mins each time. Scary experience.
Now that its the hols, that'll mean time to change blogskin. I will when i have the time to do so. Hopefully i can do by today Today i feel much better and i would like to confirm that my fever is gone. Sadly i cant find my thermometer and i dont know where i put it.
Camp can be summarised in 2 words-waste time. But since i am in a mood of writing quite a bit, not too much though, i shall elaborate. 1st day we reached there and did full of waste time activities. Nobody was happy. 2nd day we went dragon boating and 'amazing race'. Not very amazing though as it was raining so they took us to the resort lobby and gave us towels to dry ourselves. Neither was anyone happy on this day. 3rd day there was mountain climbing and mangrove planting. Mountain climbing rocks! except that the people think its impossible to run up cos its so slippery when in fact, running makes things easier because there will be momentum. Tested and proven by me but the group continues to 'crawl' up the mountain. Everybody keeps slipping even at the early stages. I only started slipping at the last 50m from the summit. The angle there was close to vertical and moreover it was raining HEAVILY. Alot of people kept squeaking about their cuts and stuff. I didnt have to cos i was 90% covered. I wore long track pants, long sleeved shirt with the collar surrounding the whole neck. Then there was also gloves on my hands which only exposed my fingertips. Exposed areas: Head and fingertips. Only get one poke by a thorn thats all. No other injuries while everyone else were complaining about their blisters and some other crap. Who ask them never fully protect themselves.Some wore short sleeve with long pants. Some short sleeve with shorts. Few were fully protected. But i must thank the few people who helped out at the last 50m of the mountain. They reach for your hand and swing you up to another guy and that guy swings you up to another guy and that guy swings you to a guy holding a branch and you grab the branch and climb up. I think they must had quite a easy time throwing me up looking at my weight. Down the mountain was quite fun because we could slide. Feels like sliding down a slide in a swimming pool. I was like "weeeeeeeeee". The mountain guides helped alot too. They dam pro(not that surprising cos they live at the village beside the mountain but still...). Wear only a short sleeve shirt, torn jeans and slippers(one even went bare-footed) they could go up the mountain so easily without any injuries whatsoever and still can even help us by pulling us up the mountain. Pro or not. Mangrove was crap. We didnt do the planting because no time. At night we had for once some good food and watched a movie called "we were soldiers". Their vocabulary very 'colourful'. I didnt bother to watch cos it was so difficult to follow so i went to sleep. Tonight everybody was quite happy. Many people were smiling. 4th day some people didnt sleep the night before because their tents were wrecked by the rain. So they stayed up the whole night and chatted. I went to sleep but kept getting up because it was the last day already and i was too excited. Finally going home!
You must be thinking, the camp so fun and so many activities how come not nice. The activities are nice. But not the instructors and teachers. They are cold-blooded people. Torture you such that you would rather be a PoW(a little exaggeration sorry). Plus i didnt go there out of my own will. Neither did i go there with a neutral attidude(go or dun go also can). I went there against my own will. I was NO i dont want to go but in the end i was forced. I cant do things well if i am forced to do them against my will. Like fishing is one example. I could go there 5 day 4 night i dont mind. Because i go there out of my own will. But this camp i didnt. Moreover it was one day more. Normally camps are 3 day 2 night. This one is 4 day 3 night. Without the instructors and teachers i think the camp will be soooooo fun.
I can finally get into blogger! FINALLY! After so many days of trying to get in. All i had to do was to unplug and plug the cable in again! Why didnt i think of that earlier? See la, so long never update, forget all the events that happen. I'll just write short stuff about the camp and my aftermath of it.
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
Plan(s) for the days ahead: 1. Write a critic on the camp. Oh shit i hate the camp. I wouldnt mind camps if there were no teachers or instructors. Teachers and especially instructors are just full of crap. Especially last year camp. The instructors go "one silent clap!" then everybody goes *clap* "shhhh...!". i dont think that is fun AT ALL. We'll see what fun this one brings. Might be better though, look at the organisers who came. Much better people than that fat guy who came last year. Think just because we are in his camp, camelot, then must listen to him. 2. Study Must study because this year is streaming. Work hard!
Porsche showroom Shawn, are you sure its easier carry heavy people than light ones? Try carry lightfoot haha! This is a late post. I was supposed to write this on 15 May but i forgot. So here goes.. i'll make it a short one. Yesterday our school whole level went for learning journey. First, we went to kranji war memorial, then to kranji war site, then to old ford factory. At the kranji war memorial there was also woodlands secondary school. So the usual NSK(i just love this term, sorry!) sort of 'style/fashion'. Then we went to kranji war site. We didnt drop because of some reason which i dun really bother. On the way from the war site to old ford factory we passed by porsche's showroom and i managed to get a photo shot as i was already prepared;i was armed with my phone in camera mode before we passed by. I knew it was coming. The whatever-you-want-to call-him let us stop by at Seven mile hawker centre for some food. Me and julian went to shell petrol station to get his mags and i got an ice-cream. Next we went to the old ford factory. I was rather excited about this one because it was near my house. I didnt really read the exhibits closely because i had already gone there on new years day this year. So i filled up the feedback form and walked around for fun, doing nothing. Got a photo of Zhong Han riding on Shawn's back because they allowed me to take one.(All the pictures at the top)
Today i walked aimlessly along orchard road. Then i saw a car which looked like an SLR. The long hood was one of its main characteristics. Plus i heard some sort of a high bass, low pitch roar. Then again, it is orchard road. Anything can appear. I remember reading the newspaper about SLRs. It said there was 1 SLR in singapore. I assumed it was one until after a while, i had doubts. I thought "how can i be so lucky? impossible." So i kept thinking and thinking. I saw an SL after a while and it looked like what i saw. So i thought i might have seen a SL. Again i had doubts after a while when i saw an SLK. It looks a bit like the SLR, just that it is shorter. Then i thought "it could be an SLK, since the lights of that 'SLR' which i saw looked like this." Now, i have come to a conclusion that it was an SLK. The roar was probably because it was a SLK 55 AMG model. Possible possiblity.
I finally was about to reach the bus stop to take 171, and i saw this 760Li. Too bad its diplomat car so he is free of taxes, and therefore i couldnt look at the road tax to see if it was a real one or not. But i think it should be real. People in that sort of class dont fake. Moreover there was a V12 logo on its side.
Tomorrow is the day that exams scripts will be released. Therefore i have listed 4 possible scenarios.
Best scenario: I get good results for all the subjects, get anything i want. Scenario 2(what happened last year): I get okok results without any A1 or A2 and go home. At home, shouting and scolding occurs. Most possible scenario: I got okok results with some A1 or A2. At home, everything is fine, but not the best it can be. Worst case scenario: I fail 1 or more subjects without any A1 or A2. After school, i am going to the arcade. There, i will watch people play games and then listen to the machine saying "game over". I will then record it on my phone and play "game over" on my way home to get myself mentally prepared for what lies ahead of me.
Obviously I hope the first scenario happens... but it falls into a 'dream on' category. Second scenario is what happened last year, but i think maybe this year i can try get some A1 or A2, so what should happen tomorrow will be the 'most possible scenario. The worst case scenario... at home... never mind. dont dare to think about it. The chances of this happening is not likely. But if it happens, things certainly arent going to be very pleasant.
While someone was seething with anger and consumed in his world of hatred,betting his life on some lousy inference, making his own blood boil, I was enjoying myself at the new house in Orchard. Relaxing while this someone was looking at youtube videos teaching him martial arts and how to fight and tensing up himself, thinking of some colourful vocabulary that he can use for his posts about me. Trying to contain his anger. Its got a lift that leads directly to the house, a bomb shelter and then the kitchen design is like so modern. My favourite sort of design. Sadly we cant move in because 1. its supposed to be rented out 2. 1066 sq ft. Too small for a family of 4. So, cannot. But i hope i can just stay there alone for 1 day before it is rented out. Pictures are below

This the THE LIFT! In the house! Bomb shelter New design. From the room looking into the toilet window. I can see you bathing!

Getting lazy to blog nowadays somehow. Thinking of which car to buy on test drive unlimited. Ferrari or Lambo or Aston Martin or Mercedes or Noble or TVR or Dodge. I am looking for the song everything by Michael Buble. Also songs by james morrison like You Give Me Something Friday soccer... i scored one goal against jc people. Still feeling quite good about it. Im not very much affected by the recent hate mail i've been receiving. Somehow i just cant lose my cool or flare up. Just treating it like some amusing others-point-of-view on me. Somehow, only 2 people that i know of think i am cocky. The others think i am fine. Thats a thing to wonder about. Why only these 2 people have a different point of view. HSBC- Different point of view. Apparently DBS isnt much different... this whole episode, to me, is some amusing stuff where i watch a guy get so dam pissed over, to what i feel, nothing, to what he feels half the world's problem. Currently, what i am pissed at is the Singapore Police. Who just arrested a 15-year-old guy for underage driving. Thats exactly what I have been thinking of doing since... when? Somewhere a few years ago. But that time couldnt reach the accelerator. Now can, and easily can reach. Dont have to stretch. Just sit nicely and comfortably and STEP IT ALL! Why do they have to arrest that guy? Come on la... since he is doing fine, why dont just let him continue. Our law should learn to be more flexible. For example, if a guy who is under 21 but can drive well, just let him drive lah! You should judge a guy's eligibility to drive by skill and not age. Thats what driving test is for! Am i saying that a 9 year old guy who can drive well should be allowed to? YES! Am i saying that a 40 year old guy wont cant drive well for nuts be given a FAIL for his driving test? YES! Age is not a concern. Its skill. We look into the case of that 15 year old guy. He can drive well, without going for driving lessons! Which just means he is a pure talent and that he should be allowed to drive on the roads. Why cant the police just let him carry on? He is doing fine anyway right? So why not? Not as though he is going zig zag across the whole road and endangering all other cars. Point: The Singapore Law should be flexible and compromise. Explaination: People should be judged by skill and talent, not age Example: That guy was 15-year-old but did quite well for driving, didnt crash
Anyway the guy was quite unlucky in a way because you dont meet police road blocks on the road often unless it is festive season. Ok thats all... Oh shit this case is making me think again about driving. So easy to get caught?
havent posted in a long time(or at least i feel its a long time) i didnt know keefe reads my blog haha... holidays are coming soon.. so.. how do i plan to spend it? Might: 1. Write about almost everyone in my life, will try to write a few a day. It will be testimonial like. dont want to waste time gaming. People i choose to write about. Not in any order. 2. Change blogskin. This one getting real boring 3. Will go cars hunting, Nassim Road, Hillcrest Road... Bukit Timah area 4. Write the story i've always wanted to write. I love writing! So i think i might try to write a story 5. Write what i think about the topic friends(set me thinking by the recent stuff) 6. Go julian's house 7. Go soccer, fishing, outing, exploring, shopping for stuff, basically hanging out with friends anywhere.
Today i went to ccab for soccer. i was fuelled by the song home by daughtry this time. 3 days this week, 3 times went there this week. the sun wasnt so hot today.. compared to yesterday and monday. so didnt go into hiding whenever the ball wasnt near me. The wind was also nice. so i played well. But i think my form today wasnt totally cuz of sun or wind. I seem to be always on form whenever i play with people whom i dun know.. like first met. maybe they have to be from my school too. the last time i went with my cousins also play against acs.. then i was keeper and only let in 3 out of their numerous BLASTS. today i went one position forward-defender. ezra say he dun want to play? ok lor dun play then dun la... i took his place beside bernard(ont he left). I took right. Played with sec 3, kept frustrating the sec3. like almost whenever they going to pass the ball from left to right because they think the right side got looser defence, i am already marking that guy. just that i dun stand in front of him. i just prepare to charge and clear the ball. if only was freekick was like very clearance. hard and far and curling. looked just nice for a freekick. too bad when i practise freekicks not as good. then whenever they want to shoot i charge at them. once i got hit in the face and another time in the leg cos i blocked a shot right in front of this guy i think close enough for him to kick me directly but somehow didnt feel pain. Together with bernard we made the formidable defence of the day. they long pass, he block and kick away. basically i just kept running around the back line chasing those who got the ball and if got anyone in dangerous position(easy to score position) i go and block. but after that there was a short 30sec 'break' cos the ball went somewhere else. after that break i went off form again. somebody gonna shoot i didnt go head on with him. i turned around and jumped hoping to block his good. if only i played like that everyday.. think i have to be consistent then got a tiny little chance to go interclass. but i really pushed myself to almost the limit today.. if i can kick the long and nice and curling shot everyday i think i have be freekick taker.. bernard also said i played well, which is a great encouragement. maybe im more defensively inclined. but i think im going to go skinnier cos i dun eat breakfast these few days. so dinner and lunch must eat alot.
When going home i took bus all the way and ran up the hill. didnt take taxi today.
The end is near.. 2 more papers left to go and... thats it! Design and technology, Chinese paper 2.. both very boring subjects .
Today we had science paper. wasnt that easy cos some topics we didnt have topical test then only studied ytd. some other chapters already had tests so it was rather easy. i think there is going to be another shock/contrast. start of year i said science good maths suck. now i think mid year my maths gonna be more pro then science. i thought maths was dam hard. end up easy. i think i overestimated maths. and underestimated science. until yesterday while i was revising the i realised that alot of stuff forget cos very long never do science. always do the weakest-maths and geog. so neglected science. now maths pro science suck.
Love you lately-Daniel Powter lyrics. Who got the song? Haiz i search here search there cant find. Anyone has can send me? Now only can stream from imeem... so inconvenient
You packed your last two bags. A taxi's 'round the bend. You used to laugh out loud, But you can't remember when. You lost your lies. It's like your moving out of time, And the whole world crumbles right beneath you. So, I might've made a few mistakes, But that was back when you would smile, And we would go everywhere, But we ain't been there for awhile. And this I know, There's a place that we can go- A place where I can finally let you know. 'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately. You and me, we got this great thing. We're the only one's that around, We're the only one's that around this babylon. I hope you find whatever you've been lookin' for. Just remember where you're from and who you are, 'Cause there's a thousand lights that'll make you feel brand new, But if you ever lose your way, I'll leave one on for you. 'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately. You and me, we got this great thing. So, come back get here sit down. Relax. Everything's to see that you've come a long, long way, And it's the place that you should be. 'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately. You and me, we got this great thing. 'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately. You and me, we got this great thing. And we're the only one's that around, We're the only one's that around this babylon.
today was maths exam.. i think i'll do quite well. luckily i studied hard yesterday la.. then i could do all the factorisation. but our class unlucky la... got kok yen lee as teacher. she never tell us the formula. but thanks to my auntie where i go for tuition every tuesday i got that formula and applied it. now can challenge john wu class. he teach his classes everything la. somemore can control the class... kok yen lee vs john wu... score: 0-10. i can probably get at least 70. highest 85... quite good looking that my tests all fail. 5/25... 6.5/25... half way through i started to get more confident.. cos the paper wasnt as hard i thought it to be, the questions in the practice book much harder. After exam marc, jem, bernard, ezra, andrew, me went to ccab play soccer. after that i decided to call my mum since she was nearby. yesterday i took cab to go home cos didnt wanna walk up the hill(decided i wouldnt come up alive if i took bus and walked up hill. pay slightly more but keep myself alive and free from hospital bills), today i called mum instead then went back acs pick up bro.

I have never felt more free than now. Even though its exam period now. Its one of the happiest days. I was on the verge of letting go. All I needed was some confirmation. There I have it. Today I announce the beginning of my new chapter in life. I finally see the light. I see the new path. I walk in a new direction in life, from today onwards. I have never felt so free in months. So relaxed, so calm. No dilemmas, no confusions. I return to my true personality today, 6 May 2007. I am myself.
I know i just got new pair of shoes few months ago... but after much thought, i have made up my mind to buy a new pair of futsal shoes. I want to wear to school. But the current futsal one too red, bright red. Plus red is not allowed. Then if i wear every1 will be looking, dun feel very good. Therefore, im not buying the psp after i followed adam khoo's advice on, you want to buy something? Think 3 times first. Then i decided not to buy(of course i put in a bit of willpower). Im going to sell my psp game too. Felt it wasnt nice(the graphics wasnt how i expected it to be). Then i'll buy futsal shoes(which are 4 times cheaper and i have the cash already) and wear to school. Thinking of something cheap and plain. Wear for fun.
After a long while, i've finally got the time to showcase all the cars that i have taken their photos... Collection E500 Chevrolet Lumina(Not one of those lousy korean ones)
C180 Fiat Stilo MR-S Wingapore Seen Ferrari F599 Lamboghini LP640 5 Lambos CLK500 Lamboghini LP640 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Ferrari Challenge Stradale Lamboghini Gallardo Conclusion: After seeing so many lambos and whatsoever.. it starts to be come oh theres a lambo... without the 'Wow' factor. There's this ferrari which has been passing by my house for the past few days without fail... Wonder whether he is the one who lives in King Albert Park.. or somewhere near
Today was history exam. Studied really hard last night… Now relaxing a bit. Start a bit later. Lol why do so many people get my favourite club wrong in the test? Its Liverpool! Almost everyone put Manchester united… after a bit of thought, I decided to go to ccab and train soccer, regardless of alone or not, after exam. Have to start fighting for a place in interclass.. lost all my old touch. If not then sort of no point being so good in soccer if no challenge. Yesterday I went to ccab with yue ming, Andrew chang, and ezra… went home shortly after ming tow joined us. Now all I can go is train. Was watching all the top gear videos on youtube and I looked at the cars. And I thought- They take corners at 100kmh, and are much heavier…But go kart goes so much slower, and much lighter. So now I have made up my mind to just try to floor through the whole dam track the next time I go there. The last time I think the G-force wasn’t that great. Just the wind… Have been reading up on Ross Bentley’s “Speed Secrets”. Got lots of useful tips. I want to go go-karting again. Training needed.. Verdict: Training needed for both racing and soccer. I have finally found my passion for soccer again and the motivation behind it(as stated above). Racing… oh I am training to win julian in go karting and whoever is in the track. Im gonna look for a new skin(again) after the exams.Wondering if the Hey Juliet skin is nice...
Champions League: Liverpool 1 Chelsea 0 1-1 Aggregate, Liverpool win 4-1 on penalties. “We’ve got to two European Cup finals in three years now. Not bad for a little club, eh?” And there goes my quote of the week…. Haha Liverpool won chelski on penalties yesterday. Chelsea spent 500m EUROS. Liverpool? 80M Euros. Jose Mourinho, and Chelsea, go home lah… Ha. Liverpool pay 80m to go finals. Chelsea can pay 500m to go league cup. Hopeless… Chelsea even had advantage leh.. Kuyt already had one LEGAL goal but they ruled it offside. So it was a chance. History repeats itself man.. Now Man U lost to AC Milan. So they will meet in the finals again. 2004- Liverpool VS AC Milan 2007- Liverpool VS AC Milan Well, Jose Mourinho, if you a ‘small’ club like Liverpool can go Champions League finals, then your club has gotta be micro…
