One of the seniors said,"Hey the super-improved guy" to me. Took me sometime before i digest it.
Track captain said i definitely improved but not sure how much, track teach said so too. So =)
I think i will improve again due to seriously better shoes! Like maybe a second? Not kidding, previous shoes were unmistakably slow, sometimes it feels like its slipping off my feet.
Next up get shorter pants, st gabs pants is seriously too long for track, most probably would get Adidas, i just dislike Nike, i guess i grew out of the Nike craze.
CCA Fair, was fair...nothing big, we had a mini competition to give off 2 t-shirts, track captain came in 3rd, he just ran for the sake of running, and he wanted to give out some RUN LIKE HELL shirts, so yeah.
I got one for free cause i'm in track =) It sounds cool, but design is boringly plain.
2nd poet of the week - Robert Frost
1st poet - D.H Lawrence who was mentioned in A Beautiful Mind, a movie i watched yesterday.
Schizophrenia scenes are rather disturbing.
Maths subject head finished a bridging lecture on APGP in one lecture, totally insane, one lecture = 1 chapter. If only IJC moves at this pace, we would finish entire A level syllabus by end of say August?
My gosh, didnt know i was in such demand. Guess simply because i am a guy. Drama needs guys, begs for guys, so i decided to help out.
Choir is of even dire need for guys, the numbers are appalling, two guys, guess one guy for a bass and another for tenor. Wish to help out in their May concert, and the teacher was rather desperate to get me into Choir, i've never seen a more desperate teach, but i already have April concert, maybe next year.
If i am still within the age limit for Youth Olympics, and my timing for 100m is seriously beyond the norm, i might consider giving it a shot, but my idea sound overly ambitious, then again, nothing is impossible.
Cross Country looks promising this year =)
IJC seems to always get promising people for Cross country, if no one knew, the national record for 5km was set by an innovian. If i am not wrong his timing was around 15 - 16 mins for 5 km. Do your maths and drop your jaw when you are done with the calculation.
6 - 7 mins for 2.4
Totally, Like totally Imba.
Pardon the punctuation. And i think i have shin split. Ouch. RICE. Rest. Ice. Compression. Elevation.

Mugged 45 mins of econs, Demand is done =)
So far econs still looks easy, understandable and all, its like just common sense. But i think its different story when it comes to tests.
I wonder does anyone from SAJC knows about mr "Evil" Chu.
I am currently thinking that LIT is a recreational subject, totally fun and i expect an A here, the least i would go down to would be a C. This expectation applies to every single test and exam i would be sitting. Of course an A in As.
I had a...mixed feelings dream. In the dream i am elated, yet when i woke up, it just sucks to know it wasnt true. Looks like memories stick hard in your brain.
Get rid of that feeling! Please.
I wonder why a sudden group of guys starts talking to me, before i changed.
Consistency is my best weapon.
Regularity of thought processing.
Submersion and encasing of facts and events occur in my brain.
I still want a H3.
Either chem or econs. But i doubt Econs.
I like Geog teachers, they seriously look fun. And the whole powerpoint given by Kellie wong was littered by simpsons =)
And IJ motivate their students is seriously...seriously...motivating =)
I hope Mr Chu's dad is alright, he had a stroke last friday.
Geog lecture notes are 3CM thick, 1.7KG heavy, and another 5 more of such thick notes would be coming along the way of geog students.
Econs looks really promising, under the "boss" (Mr Chu) it seems like distinction isnt that far if we work hard. And our 5 econs teacher came up with a 'critical thinking' and according to Mr chu, no other JCs has it, so =)
And yeah i think its insane. Humanities looks extremely under man power.
2 History teachers.
4-5 Geog teachers.
5 Econs teachers + 1 relief (Retired) Teacher of Mr Chu, he pays great reverence to her.
3 lit teachers whom i know of. They never complain about man power though.
Gp subject head looks promising too =)
Consistency is still my best weapon.

Trying to hit a target of downloading 200 songs today. I stand a chance.
I need to arrange my table! I think i will do that tomorrow.
Glad i tweaked my ipod today =)
I need to get shoes by tuesday latest, seriously hope i can find someone to go with me, the poly people are in their holies.
Had a nice long talk with Carissa.
Angels and airwaves are sending me into a state of euphoric electrical nerve pulses, alright just trying to sound chim, but they sound good! Even though most songs sound alike, and can get distasteful, but yeah it s good for the brain...
I did grade 1 paper yesterday, i wonder how i faired, but it seriously looks simple, i means its grade 1 paper, how hard can it be?

Innova has a nice PE uniform.
It has a nice school song, composed by Dick lee, rather poppish, but its still cool.
Innova has a starlite cafe, with quite a number of cute board games in there, makes school a little more fun.
Inca has nice cheers, seriously nice cheers!
Innova is nice enough to send the paggys to the national museum for free, cause i had hell lot of fun there, took gazillion photos too.
Innova is nice too in sponsoring the tickets for dim sum dollies, which was seriously nice and worth watching, like totally! I paid 26 bucks for a 60 bucks ticket. Aint they nice or what?
Yeah i only used the adjective nice in this post, simplicity is appealing to me at the moment.
And it was the lit department that did most of the stuff mentioned above.
SpongeBob says hi.

Fun with my first orientation group.
Oh and the library is most probably going to come up with a cake shop.
And i dont know why but i find it amusing to have a toilet in a school library, and it sure is clean =)
I am thinking of joining the students forum, and i am real good at giving feedback, rather bad at executing ideas. Idealist as lemuel puts it.

I've been out since sunday all the way till today.
Its been 4 days of great fun.
In these 4 days, i watched Juno, P.S I love you, and Ah long pte ltd. I am rather broke, depending on hong bao money to make it through this month. Yeah i am poor now.
I skipped school on monday, was seriously slack, i browsed 3 design books, did some studying, watch a video on ayurveda, and had a quick glance over a storyboarding book. Did all of these in about 2 hours?
I received a very honorable dinner invitation from Gerry Kong, got a tour in NUS, sneaked into their library, and had a nice long chat with Kong. And thanks Kong =)
2nd intake, as the retains and seniors told me, were just plain boring, and sadly, its true. The guys in my OG constantly messages, interaction between any human beings besides the one reading the messages they sent, is almost zero. Everyone is so dead =(
I think JAE orientation would be a gone case if not for the paggys and PAE ppl.
I guess fun is over for me now, its down to serious mugging in IJC.
I want a H3 badly, and yes i am ambitious, but a st gab teach taught us before, dare to dream big, guess he never said dream realistic dreams (then again dreams are usually never realistic till it meets reality), but made us believe in the impossible.
And on a side note, i like Adidas =)
I would most prob get a adizero Mana for running shoes.
I have no idea why both my sheens hurt whenever i run. I hope its just the lousy shoes i have now, if not i would have to consult the doctor.
I would most prob be getting uniform tmr, do online registration in school, cause my network cant log me in, and try to have fun in orientation, besides having to spend another 2 days of my life with boring males.
I know its been a long and rather mundane post, and practically almost every line starts with an I...so...actually i dont have a point to make, i just simply want to mention it =)
God i pray super hard for a good class. Fun, interesting, enjoyable, exciting, hyper, mugs like nuts, values fun, and most importantly have some Godliness in their lives.
I was thinking about this...
Is it better to be blind, or deaf?
Reply to this question on my tagboard =)
I want H3 chem!!!
And i am going to live life with style as i said last year, and its been meeting up to my expectations.
Dim sum dollies this sunday 3pm at esplanade =)
More fun i hope. Heh.

When Dream and reality does not meet.
Its weird when your cognitive organ portrays a euphoric event/scenario/relationship/occurance in your mind, and yet reality speaks otherwise. A sense of the hard solid earth hits your face, and wakes you up from your coveted fantasy, and you regain composure, and ask...why would i even think in such ways.
I feel fragile.
I hate the feeling that i might be rejected any moment.
I thought about this on the way home...
A guy who is willing to say sorry just to save a friendship, even if he isnt in the wrong, is rather honorable, because saying sorry to a guy is...as good as saying, 'I am a loser'...figuratively (Varies from guy to guy, but most probably somewhat the same sentiments across all gentleman on this planet), maybe that example is a little too extreme, i cant think of a better one, but its totalyl different from a girl's sorry.
The impending feeling of rejection.

I think resentment is silent in its doings. It creeps into your heart unknowingly, and for that simple reason, we resent the fact that we are resentful towards certain selected individuals in our life.
I guess i do resent, still...
Guys score points in a girl by doing small things.
Girls score points in a guy by doing big things.
Small things = opening the door for a girl.
Big things = when the guy makes a mistake, the girl does not say, "I told you so."
Guys need approval.
Girls need empathy.

"Megalifers should care for other megalifers."
I saw that when i was younger, like 13? And then i tried creating a group of people who would be responsible in assimilating newcomers or "loners" into a cell, and befriend with them. It didnt work out, but i used to have that vision.
IF vision 500 is going to come to pass, that, in my opinion, MUST be achieved.
Who will keep those who dont have friends in church coming?
The last time i went to megalife, i walked out alone for dinner. Alex commented that i looked like i was playing small violin.
I pray my words do not fall on deaf ears.
I thought about the practicality of going to school now, left with no social background, the only Chinese guy left in class (presume the girls are not really going to accept me in their clique, its weird). Not taking H1 maths, and H2 history, is a bonus factor to not go school, GP and Chinese currently is kind of a waste of time, i hope it wont be in the future, it is okay to skip pe, i have track, and pe is just playing games. The only lessons i would be going for is LIT and ECONS.
Amounting to a grand total of about 8/30 hours in school is effective for my future education.
From the above factors mentioned, and weighing the opportunity cost of skipping school to study at home, it seems like my choice is the latter.
Looks like education backfired, in a sense, it did create a thinker in me.
Check this out, real cool!I pray for a good class. Amen. Alright i prayed.

If only innovians learn the sport of free running. It would be totally cool to throw our bags to the ground floor and start jumping down from the third story, roll off, and then run into the school hall. And then a whole series of students just leap off from buildings =)
I wonder whats the statistics for the number of people who withdrew from IJC, or who are staying in IJC. I bet its rather pathetic. Oh well, we are not in demand, but i still find a lot of things to like here.
The Valentine performance by.... was quite a flop, make us proud next time round yeah? But good effort =)
I need new shoes and shorts for track, and i would seriously run a lot more faster then, say 2 seconds? I wonder what's my timing for 100m. I feel my muscles getting harder.
I was never quite able to get the word sarcasm spelled out correctly all this while.
I mastered the word sarcasm today. It makes me think. Read deeper.
Then again, i might write stuff that holds not much value.

This day, i impressed my Lit teacher. He said, 'Wow' after hearing one of my interpretations of the poem 'missing'. But i wonder its credibility, because i was looking deeper than the poet's intentions. I managed to spot something the poet most probably did not intend so when he penned the poem down.
I sprained my left hand, fourth finger in PE. Hurts, Throbbing.
I realised how much a guy misinterprets a girl. Wonder do girls know how much they misinterpret guys, simply because both genders communicate in different ways.
A friend of mine said(mind you, its said, not asked), "I am going home, are you?" I read it as 'Can you accompany me to the bus stop?' But the actual fact was that she meant...i am going off already, bye bye. (After clarification with her)
I accidentally hit a classmate during PE with a basketball, she later display the pain i caused her in front of me, but i just justified my actions. After some reflection, i figured that what she wanted to hear was my empathy and most probably a sorry, even after apologizing.
Girls, gotta be aware guys communicate differently from girls, please be a bit more understanding, as much as we guys are trying to be understanding as well.
Valentine.
If it really means that much to you, and you hold great respect for your future love...then...if i were you, i would wait for the right person, and not date anyone on valentine till i'm sure this is the girl i want to marry.
Fact of the day about guys.
We pull back now and then from girls, because guys need space. We gotta learn how to take care of ourselves first, before we can take care of the girl. Sometimes pulling back away from the girl, is also due to life's stress, nothing wrong with the girl. So girls, its not your fault, please don't panic, if you do so, you only make the guy feel guilty of doing what is normal to a guy. Detrimental.
So in such times, girls who are attached, never invest all your time in your boyfriend, because when he pulls away just to get some space for himself, you will most probably feel unheard, and hurt, so do invest in other friendships too.
Memories. Sentimental. Old wallet kept. New wallet in use.
To whomever it may concern. Applicable to both genders.

Sometimes i find it an excruciating effort to pepper a conversation with a girl, with endless questions in order for the conversation to go on.
Most guys dislike initiating conversations, and they only speak when there is a reason to.
They speak to gather or convey information, not to share about their lives, unlike YY chromosomes.

The 400th post is about food. Tasty, succulent, delicious, heavenly, euphoric, and the incomprehensible wonders of food.
About the best sushi buffet i found so far in life. Its as if i just received Christ today! =)
(Hyperbole)
The buffet is at The Cathy, dhobby ghaut, basement floor. It has free flow of soft drinks, and fruit juice of the day.
Includes salmon sashimi and the lot, teriyaki chicken, mushroom, mushroom with bacon, aiya it just totally owns!
The sashimi part is enough to make me crazy. And the buffet is the same price as sakae, totally own sakae!
Buffet is from 2.30 - 5.30, not valid during public holidays, weekends, and the eve of public holidays. Once again, at The Cathy, basement floor.
Its a must go place if you want to eat sushi. And one plate of sushi = 99cents, half price of sakae again. Totally owns!
Oh, if you are going al carte, try the salmon fish head. Totally rocks too! Bet some of you cant finish the fish head. Like seriously.

Through the course of time
We collect precious gifts
Some pleasant
Others otherwise
They remain precious
Simply because they
Remind us why we are
Who we are today
Some of these gifts get lost
Along our long journey
But fret not, someone else might
Just be carrying the gift you lost
Memories.
Sometimes i catch myself
wondering what they
are doing while
I sit here thinking
about what they are
doing. Of course
now my absence represents
my presence over there
Yes, the persona is me.I am finding my place, and settling down, after months of wondering, maybe years, in the wilderness. I've grown to realise, the more you value your memories, they harder they stick to you.
Value isnt attributed by your regularity of thoughts on the memories, instead, how well it was inflicted on our ever most vulnerable brain.
The mind is a weak yet powerful organ. When both attributes are used simultaneously, the results are, i am afraid, most of the time beyond comprehension.
Be it good or bad.
Use your brain well...or maybe mind is a better word.
