i've dsa-ed into tjc; took me so long just to decide. things can be changed and my confidence is not there, making the offer almost impossible to reject. i wanted to and still want to go to vjc but scoring 6pts is a feat too incredible for me to achieve. i'll rather attempt it without stress. so, that's it. i will pledge my loyalty to tjc and hope for the best.

here are some unusual scenes recently.
4DL sitting down and doing timed practice QUIETLY without a teacher!!
suspected eutrophication in the lake but apparently the most logical reasonwas insecticide to prevent dengue.
view from innosphere.
another from innosphere.

the great benefit of the tea class. we get to leave through the back stairs and take some pictures from a different place. the soccer court one owns. the grass never looked greener and smoother and the soccer court never looked so... empty.

i felt that i was doing my job on wed and thurs. wed was the track and field finals, my last time as a b-boy. on that day, we, the competitors, had no tickets and cannot watch the finals. so i had to call shiying to get tickets and call here and there, trying to get tickets for ourselves. it was all wasted after mr khoo and mr ahmad came with extra tickets. i was a bit angry at first but what the hell, i had an event that day. why do i care? i felt exhausted after the phone calls as i could have spent the time resting and after i've settled for a while, it was time for warm up. i dun know how to describle it further but i screwed up my race and that's all i care about. when i finished the race, i felt like doing what i did during the heats. but i decided against it, helping saifuddin instead. he had a good race, just slowing down at the last round. i didnt run my own race, i wasnt talking to myself. it was all wrong. i wasnt in control of myself.

thursday was fine. not too bad, rather. school ended at 1.15 and i played soccer in class with guoxiang, jiayi, kennethyee and marcus. after that, everyone left and i stayed in class to study chem while waiting for brian's and melvin's geog to finish. track dinner at marina square was fun. chester and zhihao came back and many unexpected people turned up like jason and theron for example. i finially ate a proper seoul garden meal and had a bad stomach until today. it was all worth it, after all the torture i had gone through. i reached home late, but i couldnt be happier. cos i studied chem alr.

it has been a couple of weeks when i received a confirmed dsa offer from tjc and i have just gave it some thought recently. at first i thought i would go for it until i heard something from people when i decided to think a little more about it and became negative about dsa, wanting to decline it. until now, i still harbour some thought about decling it but i have also thought of accepting it. i asked mr khoo, my dad came and talk to me and i thought about it myself. i'm just thinking about it alot. my results havent been good since sec1. i always relied on maths to pull, to a large extent, my results up. for example, not to boast, my average flew from 56 to 60 during midyr after i got my emaths result. although some people get higher than me and experience this too, i think their other subjects are better than mine. if the school makes a hall of fame for Cs i think i will be on it. 5Cs omg. it's going to take a lot of hard work and maybe magic to turn them into As. i wont be declining the offer so soon. i will think it over and over again till the 27th. sorry to those whom i have told that i was going to decline the offer.

the movie screenig of harry potter was no as good as POTC3. this time only gx, kc, ian and i went. the others were busy mainly because of POP for dennis, ming tjong and marcus and sam's olvl music. but it didnt matter much tho. the show wasnt as good as i expected it to me. the story was in bits the special effects only lasted for a while but the show was funny at times. at the last part harry said ' we have something he( voldermot) doesnt have.' and kenneth chew said 'HAIR' hahahahaha and when dumbledore escaped by the phoenix, the guy said ' dumbledore might be old, but you have to admit, he has some style!!' woohoo. ownage la.
after that i left suntec for pasir ris to meet sam and marcus for dinner and arcade. i met sam for dinner and marcus came later with dennis and ming tjong. there, we witnessed the power of mingtjong. he was owning tc4 like crazy until he was too greedy and got killed haha. imagine if dennis played. i spent 6 dollars and 2hours there. unbelievable. we played a variety of games and i found out that HOD3 is quite fun. although its quite old.
it's 11.30 and i still got 2 essays to do for tuition and i have back to back tuition tml. gg for now.

11/7/07 - a day to remember.

it made my heartbeat faster than anything else. when i was standing before the starting line i felt my heart beating. the whole place was silent. all i heard was the fast beating of my heart. it also made my heart pound as i saw the other competitors cross the finishing line with the timing just a second slower than my timing.

my race was horrible. i was super nervous before the race and i tried to relieve the pressure i have on myself by trying to talk to myself about what mr khoo told me. when i as in the call room i felt calmer and relaxed. but everything got back when it was my heat's turn to start. well, i had a bad start and i think i was last to leave the starting line. next, i was boxed in after 300m and finially i got boxed out on the way to the last lap. it's horrible. i've never been boxed so many times before.the second was the worst. i just went into my pace when this idiot blocked my way. this guy was running on the second lane with two people beside him. for normal people, they would cut in on a curve and i wanted to overtake. hence, i moved up to him and he maintained his pace on lane 2. which person, in the right state of mind, would run on lane 2 on a curve when he can overtake!? so, i was stuck on the inner lane and i waited for that guy to overtake. when he didnt move, i had to slow down, cut out and accelerate again. he totally spoilt my rhythm.

redemption. the only thing i seek from myself. ending my four years in cchm track with an individual achievement.

thanks to everyone who cheered for me. you 'guys' were super loud hahaha. could hear your voices distinctively from opposite the track.

5 more days till my nats heats. this year the school is doing real well. so far dillian got 3rd and tongyi got 7th. dillian's 3rd is already enough to beat out best points tally ever i guess. the most points i've seen for cchm is like 3? haha. now dillian has 7 and tongyi, 2. i'm glad that peiyi is going on the same day as me haha. she's running 1500 and 4x400. never seen her run since sec2. it's really great to have a cousin competing in nats. i have another cousin, harold, who joined track but he later quitted because he had knee problems.

next week will be a mad week. there is the dsa briefing, english prelim oral, A and E maths tests, physics test, egeog test, 1500 heats, harry potter and the order of the phoneix and all my homework. i thought i could relax before nats but it is not to be. better chiong this weekend before i get fried next week.

went to watch Transformers with the ziyan, yixiang, mingtjong, dennis, marcus, wongyi, kennethyee and guoxiang today at ps. before the show was the usual arcading session and everyone witnessed dennis complete time crisis 4 with one tap. super imba. we unknowingly stayed there until 12 before going to buy the tickets and caught the 12.35 show. the show rocks!! it was action packed and every second of it is not worth missing.

i spent almost the whole day thinking of the reason why i cant wait for tml. i kept thinking of reasons to hate tml. examples are: timed practice after school, more boring lessons, still no homework done, no rest etcetc. but still, i can think of a good reason. the it struck me. there's no training tml!! finially a weekday off to do whatever shit i want and i dun nid to bring shoes to school. i am also able to sleep late tonight without fearing that i will die the next day during training. so i'll look forward to tml and i shall fulfill my mission to get photos of everyone in class.
