The week has been quite nice. Though I feel guilty I didn't study almost at all. Not that I normally study but exams are just in about a months time.
PE was good. This week I broke my barker run record. 2.2km 11.13mins. This time I also managed to hold Ezra, Isaac and Patrick for 1 and a half laps. Like usually they will just go out of sight within the first 300m. But this time the four of us were running side by side. Anyway the 2 super high stamina people (Ezra and Isaac) got like 10.10 or 10.20 somewhere there can't remember. Which also means they still went out of sight in the end but ha its still good. 2.4km run is next week but I think people can do better since the track is flat ground and not like barker road. Then after the run was soccer which was good because the score was 1-0 I scored my second of the year. Lai Chieh Ming the PE teacher was surprised.

Wednesday I still had time after lunch in school and taking a bus all the way to kap and taking back to opposite hwa chong so I decided to walk to the watten estate. Its been almost 8 years I think, since I last stepped in there.
The place still hasn't changed much anyway.
Then Thursday I specially took mrt home with zhong han. Didn't get to spend much time with him this year so I decided to go home with him. Anyway I don't think I will do it again until after mid years because when taking mrt its not a very good idea.
1. You dont get to pass by Bukit Timah Road and Dunearn Road. You pass by Commonwealth, Redhill, Buona Vista, clementi and all the places which do not appeal to anyone who schools along The Long Stretch Of Beautiful Road.
2. Bukit Batok has a hell shit load of NSKs(which also means ah bengs and ah lians and twitzxzxzs) at the bus terminal. Omg the place is so much better during the holidays. Somehow.
3. The mrt also has many of them. But its still not that bad.
4. I take about 1.5 hours compared to 50 mins by bus. How inefficient....
5. I miss the scenery along my favourite stretch of road. Which to make things clear, is a very major road not a road asking for an addition of the colour that is the opposite of white.
Policies are policies.
Sorry I just love stereotyping :D
Friday went to Orchard to Shawn Koh. We looked like gays because it's just two guys so quite strange. Happened to meet gilda on 171 to orchard. After alighting at Far East Shawn and I went to Shaw Macs. Then went to taka and then walked back to wheelock. We went to Apple and then Nike to see watches. Then went for tuition. Saw marc peh at orchard mrt so instead of taking a bus I took mrt to newton just for fun. Marc peh is such a nice person. At least he says hi and talks to people.
Fun o Rama today was great. Met a lot of p6 friends. And then there was this Ford GT on display there. It's quite cool. Those conservative people on sgforums will probably go crazy if they find out. The haunted hotel was more funny and scary. The 5 of us who went in were basically totally spoiling the whole thing. We kept laughing and making fun of the "ghosts". So at the last part I purposely screamt a bit because I felt quite bad going in and then not feeling scared. Have to give the "ghosts" some encouragement. Anyway then ate lunch and just slacked in front of the field then went home.
If you haven't read the book website I told you about, you should. And if you want to know the ending, can ask me. www.goodybooks.com/ibelieveyou.htm I know the website sounds stupid but the book isn't.

Playing with Primary 3 children from ACSJThey are really cool people. Reminds me of chipmunks... The way they talk so much and their voices. Polo was having training so I asked them to shout "melvin!"
The one on the left, he likes taking photos... ask him and he'll pose for you.
This one is more camera-shy.
But all 3 of them are equally fun to play with! I was playing finger games with them. It's a game called "zham". The one with plane, bomb and soldier.
see....
My best friends at ACSJ!! Had a lot of fun playing with them. Very sporting people!!
Then we headed off to city hall area for shawn's concert at esplanade.
The bus was empty when approaching marina square.
It was okay.
It was okay.

Friday went out with Yue Ming. He wanted to buy a new pair of shoes so I accompanied him everywhere to search for one. First we went to Great World ate lunch there then to World of Sports but couldn't find anything nice. Then headed to vivocity the two big Adidas and Nike shops. Again there was nothing that suited his budget. So we decided to try out Queensway. There were many choices there but he wanted those casual adidas kind that the usual price was $122. The futsal shoes were like much less below 70 which suited his budget but he insisted on the more expensive kind. So we went around looking for a pair which cost below 70. There were some. But he didn't want because they were the more outdated designs. The way I see it, its like going to buy a Ferrari with only $300,000 and obviously is not enough. So one day, somebody sells you an old 1990 Ferrari for only $200,000, but you say no, because its an old model. So there I was following him around. Then we kept seeing a design that he liked but it was $122. Then finally we saw a $69 one but it was a older design. Then he didn't want so kept going around. And we went back to all the shops we searched. So finally like after one and a half hours he saw one which was discounted all the way down to $76. But he only had 70. Then he was like excuse me, 69 dollars can or not? Then the shop person was like nonononono discount a lot already! Don't try to be funny shout one funny number at me! Then he said the least he could sell is 74 so obviously he had to borrow again and we agreed on 74. And then Yue Ming said he wanted half a size bigger so can wear longer. Then the sales assistant was like "what kind of logic is that? You very funny you know first say want $69 then now say bigger size wear longer... who teach you one! Then you buy size 12 and wear very long is it?" I was just standing there laughing damn hard at all the crap between the two of them. So like basically the whole afternoon we were shopping for shoes and after like many hours he finally got something.The exams are drawing near and the pressure is starting to come. But the worst thing is that I just don't seem to be able to study efficiently. Everytime I sit at the table for hours and daydream so nothing goes into my head. Just hope that some motivation will come in time before the exams.
I want to recommend you all to read a very well-written story. http://www.goodybooks.com/ibelieveyou.htm Shawn Koh told me about it. No regrets at all about reading this one. Its a love story. The style is average and the vocabulary isn't that advanced. But even though it's a singaporean writer the grammar is accurate. The best thing about the story is the plot and storyline. It's damn good. The surprises and twists are very nice. The theme is perserverance. It's definitely worth the time to read. Honestly.

Hahahahaha quite happy with the week. School life gets you back to normal mode. Too busy and tired to think about anything. Life finally rocks once again.Monday first day back at school. Had geography test. Nothing really interesting. We got our school diary? Finally?
Tuesday went to serene after school with Justin koh, Shawn and Brandon. Then we all just talked crap and did stuff. Haha this year is good friday, next year is better friday. The year after? No not the best because the best is yet to be. It just gets lamer haha. Then we started breaking straws.. After that went off to tuition.
Hahah our art :) Not my tongue.
This week I had the most embarrassing moments in all my 14 years.
Okay so it started when Ronald started calling into 987 to participate in the slurpee 7 11 competition. I don't know what the hell was on his mind but he thought he could win. And somehow he got through. He passed me the phone and I was like oh shit inside my head. The whole thing wasn't recorded at first. She said she thought I was a girl. Then after a bit of introductions and instructions she recorded the conversation. And I became freaking nervous. So it's all an act after that.
Soo: You're?
Winston: Winston (and i said it in some funny accent)
-Loads of crap which I totally screwed up and my tone was super strange. And I said some things which sounds damn wrong-
I can normally hold for 20 over seconds but I held for only 11 seconds. You know why? Because in all my nervousness I forgot to breathe in first!! So I was like using normal amount of breath and feeling very nervous. And I was like oh shit people must be thinking who the hell is this loser only 11 seconds! I wished she thought it sucked too much so she wouldn't put it on air. She did. When she was playing the pre-recorded track I was recording it. Luckily its radio so nobody can see your face. But thankfully I felt better tonight when somebody called in sounding pretty nervous and got 12 seconds. So consolation :)
Today actually planned to go to orchard or city hall but went to play tennis and swim instead. So after school most of the usual people were busy I was forced to go with Leon, Micah. Zhong Han was free so he tagged along too. We went to KAP for lunch then headed to Leon's house for tennis and swimming.

Today was good. The only problem is about homework. I haven't done my holiday homework! Shit. Which means work hard tomorrow. But who cares. It's okay. At least emotions are quite back to normal, and once homework is cleared things will definitely be fine. Then the mid year stress will make sure I'm occupied and not too free to think too much. Hopefully I don't screw up in Term 2.Nine in the Afternoon-Panic! at the Disco

I think I've finally understood. I'm NOT sad, and definitely NOT emo, just feeling troubled. Even though its only a few small problems, I see it as though its many problems. It's time to do some deep thinking. What was initially intended to be just for fun became too serious.Yesterday went to Jurong Point with Zhong Han and Shawn. Not my fault about going there, they suggested going to a place nearby. Or else I would never have gone there. It feels and is an outskirt area there. Anyway we watched Step Up 2, and thankfully it wasn't some meaningless movie. It shows true friendship and a fight to be what you are and not what you are forced to be. After that went to West Mall arcade with the 2 of them. Yue Ming was waiting at the arcade so that he could come to my house. Then we had to wait for Shawn's cousin and finally they came my house. It was raining but we tried to swim anyway. The water was really cold so in the end they just came up to my house and wanted to sing but the set was spoiled so while waiting for the guy who sold us the system to come we ate dinner then watched Fun With Dick and Jane. Quite retarded movie. And finally the man came and exchanged a new system for us. It's got many chinese songs but only a page of classic english songs. So it was mostly Zhong Han's job to choose the songs and shawn's to sing. But he was shy, surprisingly, so he didn't really sing properly. And it was quite funny because after a while we all started joining in too and at least everyone sang once in the end. So they went home at like 11 plus. I hope you guys enjoyed yourselves.
I've decided to change after feeling so troubled for basically this whole week. It's like my whole holiday has been so wasted. We can like but we cannot be obsessed. Hx told me that. I still remember your slit wrist story. So no more sort of "stalk" anymore. No more being obsessed. No more waiting at the courts bus stop for almost an hour on Thursday. I'll go home the usual way. I am NOT OBSESSED with magnesiums. I LIKE magnesium. Just return and be my old happy self would have been the best solution. This holiday was supposed to be a time for me to take a rest but I find myself more occupied than usual. Maybe school life is more suitable and organised.
My Friday and last day of holidays were mostly wasted. I woke up then wanted to go out but no one to go out with. So sad. So I stayed at home and wanted to do work but in the end I watched a movie. Wasted my whole afternoon. Then there was no one to go dinner with as well so I followed parents to dinner with family friend (the one who went to Europe with us) to lei garden. Then went to HMV and walked then went home. Very wasted Friday. Sigh. but oh well at least I not too troubled anymore, albeit still troubled. Thankfully it's troubled with homework and the fact that its last day of holidays and its time to start preparing for mid years after this. Which spells S-T-R-E-S-S. But at least there's Fun O RAMA

This morning I wanted to watch Liverpool vs Inter Milan with Yue Ming but he didn't pick up my call. So I just went back to sleep. Anyway Liverpool eased into the Champions League quarter-finals after a superb strike by Fernando Torres gave last season's runners-up a 1-0 win at Inter Milan on Tuesday and a 3-0 aggregate victory. Liverpool join the other three English entrants, Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea, in the quarter-finals with Roma the only Italian side through.Okay I made myself very happy-soccernet.com.
It was never a mistake to purchase Fernando Torres :) Goal scored >20
I managed to wake myself up and go for my morning walk/jog/run. The outside was wet so it was good. The cold and wet wind is nice. Ran all the way from the bus stop to shell petrol station in 7 mins. People were giving that kind of surprised look but I was too lifeless to be bothered. From the petrol station I began my walk.
Then, I passed KAP, it's nice there, feels like a very familiar place.
On the Blackmore Drive :D
Was beginning to get really happy since I walked quite far now.
Then passed to Tan Chong Nissan Showroom
350Z
Bukit Timah Soccer Field. Felt much better by now. Was really happy. Holiday accomplishment :)
Row of whatever-you-call-this. Anamalai Ave which is at Sixth Ave. So now I have walked all the way to Sixth Ave and got drink and stoned there for a while before walking back. I think it's like my longest self-organised walk ever.

Passed by Maplewoods when returning.
Blackmore Drive. I missed a 970 so I decided to just walk in. Hahaha like what Justin Heah said " you do it so that you won't regret it next time". Anyway it was quite empty and I had time.
Lucky Apartments(not its real name). But you know why... who wants a swimming pool view here?
I went there and there were people playing netball and cars kept passing through the road so I went back. If only it was empty. A driver gave me that kind of what the hell are you doing here stare but I was happy enough not to be bothered.
So I went home by bus but nothing then can spoil my mood. Even though its only 11am now, I'm sure today is the best day of March Holidays so far. Life, rocks. At least for the moment.

Today nobody was free so I didn't go out with anyone. I'm very lifeless and blank. I was on the computer the whole morning and afternoon just listening to songs and did physics project. 3/4 completed. Then Dad fetched me to chinese tuition. I was just dreaming and copying from the board plainly throughout class. Tomorrow I think I'll go for a good walk/jog/run, rain or shine and clear everything out.Friday's pictures:

First day of March Holidays. Will try to post daily.Today was okay. Felt quite tired because I was on conference with Justin Heah (sec 4 fellow magnesiumsian), Yue Ming and his (acsi) friend last night. As usual its like our fun talk. And with Justin Heah on the line it's really fun. So we talked from like 12am and then on and off people joined and left. Justin's phone ran out of battery so fast. So sad. We talked until quite late and I fell asleep on the phone! So without ending the call I just slept all the way. Luckily they called me so I had free incoming :D or else thats it. And they had the brains to infer that I was already in fantasizing mode. So they both hung up.
E maths today and was very waste time because nobody was honestly paying attention. After E maths went to Yue Ming's house for a while before lunching with him at Waffle. Then I headed to Orchard Wisma to meet Michelle Tee and Desiree. We walked to cineleisure and they played arcade. After that Heng Xuan called me to meet him downstairs so I went down and the whole group of Brandon Wee and Chuang Feng were there. I am so sorry Shawn and Zhong Han for not going out with you both today. I know you were quite pissed. But there are still 4 more days left. We bought 10,000 BC's tickets then went to KFC and just while time away talking. Desiree left at 3pm for tuition so only the 3 of us watched movie.
The movie was nice. Better than The Eye although both are not bad. I think it's cool looking at the way that one guy gained the respect of so many people and managed to overthrow the king. So fun to watch. But it's a little sick because it involves a lot of stabbing through the body. I can't stand the look of it. Imagine a spear just go right through your heart. But otherwise it's got a good and smooth plot. Recommend to watch. And don't waste your time on leap years!
On the way home the both of them were telling me loudly those damn touching stuff to say. Then this woman turned around and looked at me. Very embarrassed. But to the two of you I will use them in due time. 2 more years maybe? Haha
Song for the day
I'll try to post a song daily.
Today lets have
Hold On by Jonas Brothers

This weekend was really boring. It's basically just wake up at 11pm then do nothing but laze around and use com. It becomes so unaccomplished. Only last night was good. Went to Raffles City with Dad alone for dinner. It was nice. After that went Suntec for the IT fair and we got a new printer. The Samsung keeps breaking down even after we called the company to repair. Then we bought Jonas Brothers and OneRepublic album. The jonas brothers one is nicer. The songs are more lively and nice. Onerepublic one's are not so nice.This morning woke up then did nothing basically all the way. Part of life is still missing and I am just so bored with no mood to do anything. There is no spice.
Ate dinner at Fish and Co park mall just now. Reminds me of 31st. But after that went straight home because we went for late dinner. Quite sad didn't get to hang around town

Finally, Term 1 is OVER. Glad that the break is here. A much needed and deserved one. 3 more terms to go to End of Year. Felt quite slow. Everyone else said it was damn fast. Today was a fruitful day ( sort of). Went to Toa Payoh Sports Complex with Joshua Teo to watch netball finals after school. We didn't want to go in so we just peered through the windows at the door. There was a lot of screaming. Like whenever some person stole the ball from the other team people would start cheering and screaming. We didn't know how to differentiate between Magnesium and the NSKs. But overall its quite nice to watch even though those NCC people were giving us the what-are-you-doing-here look. It would be better if we could get a bigger and more daring group to come. Anyway it's Friday so between dismissal to 4.30 I had time to spare.My class is super screwed up. The passing rate for A maths test is 30%. It's like, WTH? The only positive side is that it's a funny class. Everyone thinks WRONG. And lifeskill lessons always give wrong ideas. Like the story about the tree and the boy. The part about hugging the tree and also the tree saying all the things that make people think wrong then the illustration shows wrong stuff again.
This week I fell out with Jordan. I was like super pissed with him on Monday night and Tuesday morning for some reasons. But anyway we haven't talked since then. I'm like so NOT pissed anymore. Just that I think it was his fault so he should be the one doing the talking.
Tuesday went to Serene with Shawn and Martin. Chuang Feng and Yue Ming joined later.

Seriously, Mr Hicks, go screw yourself. Like up, down, left, right , centre, upside down. Really, it's really pissing that this asshole knows that he's not wanted anymore but still wants to stay on. I bet all this crap Liverpool is in is 100% because of him. And the worst thing is, he's not even a fan of football or the club. He just wants the money. People buy football clubs for the passion and interest. Even people like Roman Ambromovich buy Chelsea and at least he buys because he is a fan of Chelsea and wants it to be strong, even if it means he loses money. And what do we have here? A millionaire who buys for investment. Greedy investment. He will make a substantial profit if he sells now, but he wants more. With the way he borrows money from the bank, soon Liverpool will be in huge debt then he will just sell the club and run away. The possibility of Liverpool winning something big would be raised much higher if they are sold to DIC for sure. Hello, compared to Dubai International, Hicks is like a pinch of sand in the beach. One is only a millionaire, the other a billionaire who loves Liverpool and soccer. That the reason they buy is same as the reason Ambromovich bought Chelsea. DIC will probably spend more freely since they got the juice. You know what Hicks? Just take the money and watch your hockey match.
Thursday was Founder's Day celebration so after that went out. Ate lunch at Plaza Singapura food court with Hx, Adam, Ka Hao, Tim Huang, and Zhen Sheng. After that we just sat outside the cinema for a short while before the others left for their own stuff. Hx and I walked to Cathay and just sat outside the cinema and talked for very very very long while waiting. We also went to some sort of museum in The Cathay. Then finally nicole(she was called shi ting at first) came (Yes Heng Xuan you kept your promise about magnesium). But hx told me it was not shaun low's sister and I actually believed him the whole time. Then we watched The Eye. Okay fine its not VERY scary but still got a few scary parts. Can't believe that hx and nicole weren't scared at all. I freaking screamed when this extremely scary woman with very dark eye liners rushed at the jessica alba. And like you know they show it in the perspective of jessica alba so it looked like it was coming at me of course I got very shocked and "make some noise" right. Thanks hx anyway for lending me your noise cancelling earplugs to reduce the horror effect of the movie. And I was half listening to music during the movie using the earplugs so that made it less scary. After the movie went to Burger King at Plaza to just sit and talk and eat. Then nicole's mum offered to give hx and I a lift so while waiting I finally realised that she was shaun low's sister because I heard hx (probably) accidentally calling her nicole while we were at BK. Then was like WTH! I was tricked the whole time. Thanks nicole's mum for the ride to the bus stop and thanks hx for the happy outing.

I can't stop thinking about this watch. It's the Tissot T-Touch. I found out about it during one of those advertisements before the movie. It's like the best watch for the moment. The watch features six touch screen functions including an altimeter ( to check altitude), barometer ( for air pressure), compass and thermometer. Of course the usual stopwatch and alarm. And the design is so damn nice. Those two above are just among the many designs. There are many others with different dial and hand colours, strap colours and designs. If you are going watch a movie soon, look out for the advertisement. The way the hands slide into position when you touch a function on the screen is just so slick. This particular design reminds me of the techometer of the car.
Sleeping/Dreaming/Fantasizing time now. Good night!
