I'm blogging during RE :D How fun. Damn slack la; nothing to do, except maybe give some noob comments ._> Don't look at me (: It's the way around here haha.
I want something for fun to do. More meaningful. More... fun yea haha.
I want to watch the Liverpool - Chelsea match too >_> I have never watched a live soccer match in my life. Not counting the S. League. Don't be a lamer. Unquote Cal. But it's at 3 am! Lucky tomorrow is Labor Day :D So my mom MIGHT let me stay up. I'm gonna play Xbox and comp until 3 xDD My eyes are gonna die. Big time.
3 am!!! LIVERPOOL FTW. Mush is forcing me to mention him. Metion me, or else I kill you. Unquote. Because he's Lindsay Lohan LOL ._.
I soooo need some downtime. I want to go to Kevin's house!!! Because I don't have blooooody cable. Which means I can't watch Liverpool - Chelsea at home ._. So I have to go to Kevin's house D: MUST WATCH LIVERPOOL - CHELSEA DD:
I don't care. BBC will have to do if I can't get ESPN. BBC meaning live updates. In words =_= But ohwell. At least I have my Xbox and comp to waste the time away.
Shall end now. Maybe posting again later when I'm feeling wuliao, and after I finish pwning Clement in LF2 LOL. Don't say I'm childish D:

CCT Galore
Chem wasn't that bad, 28/35, i.e. a 4.0. Barely.
Social Studies... hasn't been returned. But hopefully I scraped through.
Math yesterday was a BIT screwed up, but I think I managed to get at LEAST a 2.8.
Physics today was just... lousy. Abysmal. Catastrophic. What kind of question burns a hole in the wall of a bathroom! o_O I shall photocopy the test paper and post it online next time LOL. But maybe a 2.4. Maybe a 2.8. Nothing near my current 3.6 D:
I don't like CCTs. They make you stressed over a whole lot of nothing. >_>
Chem test tomorrow, still have yet to memorize all the weird formulas. Sheeesh.
Social Advocacy Project coming on well, hopefully we can get that done with and slack.
Training tomorrow; Suwe so bad, never let me go his house sleepover. I WANT TO WATCH Liverpool - Chelsea!!! Not fair. Not fair. Not fair.
But since when has the world been fair? (:

Good Luck!
Math, Chem, Social Studies over! Now it's time for Bio, Physics and Chinese >_< Not good.
My birthday is in... 8 days! (:

The Meaning.
What David Means |
You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. |

Jealous that he has so many friends who support him.
Jealous that he's so freaking pro in sports.
Jealous that people just don't like me.
I hate the world.
And don't tell me to be happy with what I've got. Because I'm not.
PFT Update!
New scores:
Shuttle Run - 9.6s A (Sucks! But at least I met my PB. Will hit low 8s next year)
Sit and Reach - 52cm A (Parallax error!)
SBJ - 230cm A (Stupid heavy shoes)
IPU - 34 A (stupid time seemed so short)
Sit-ups - 43 A (Abs still hurting like shit from the previous time)
Compared to:
Shuttle Run - 10.3 B (barefoot sucks)
Sit and Reach - 53cm A (I guess I became... more flexible?)
SBJ - 228cm A (Barefoot too. Sucks.)
IPU - 50 A (LOL I stopped at this nice round number)
Sit-ups - 43 A (Sit-ups are plain boring. And tiring.)
Now to get an A for my 2.4km. Rawr.
Can someone tell me how sit and reach denotes physical fitness? Because I don't get it. >_>
And I was looking at Cal's tagboard. Chern Hwee did... 20 IPUs? I bet she did it in what, 15 seconds la. And that's an A, apparently. Not fair. The PE departments are waaaay sexist. Hmph.
Today wasn't really very different from a normal day, except for the movie to celebrate my brother's 8th birthday. Go see the review... a bit lower. Haha.
I'm really jealous. Darrell's tagboard is sooooo active D: Not fair. COME TAG PEOPLE!
Track training on Friday was just so screwed up. I was freaking tired after the disastrous Interhouse Soccer, and in any case I hadn't slept well the previous night. You try sleeping well when you're on a year-long ban?
Shall post again tomorrow. At least once. I'm off to bed now (:
9 more days. I'm waiting.
Why Do I Love You
Leaving
Suddenly the
Promise of love has gone
Suddenly
Breathing seems so hard to do
Carefully you
Planned it
I got to know just
A minute to late, oh girl
now I understand it
All the times we
Made love together
Baby you were thinking of him
Why do I love you
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do
Like I always do
You should've told me
Why did you have to be untrue (love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do
Ain't gonna show no
Weakness
I'm gonna smile
And tell the whole world I'm fine
I'm gonna keep my senses
But deep down
When no one can hear me
Baby I'll be crying for you
Why do I love you
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do
Like I always do
You should've told me
Why did you have to be untrue (love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do
Can't go back
Can't erase
Baby your smiling face oh no
I can think of nothing else but you
Suddenly
Why do I love you
Don't even want to
Why do I love you like I do
Like I always do
You should've told me
Why did you have to be untrue (love you like I do)
Why do I love you like I do

The Painful Truth
You Are An ENFJ |
The Giver You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed. Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections. Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down. You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine. In love, you are very protective and supporting. However, you do need to "feel special" - and it's quite easy for you to get jealous. At work, you are a natural leader. You can help people discover their greatest potential. You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist. How you see yourself: Trusting, idealistic, and expressive When other people don't get you, they see you as: Bossy, inappropriate, and loud |
The last few lines. Oh how true they sound.
Imma rare thing!
Your Personality is Somewhat Rare (ENFP) |
Your personality type is enthusiastic, giving, cautious, and loyal. Only about 8% of all people have your personality, including 9% of all women and 6% of all men You are Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving. |
Although not one-of-a-kind.
Hip-Hop ftw.
You Are Hip-Hop Music |
You are expressive, intense, and often misunderstood. You appreciate being entertained, and you're not easily offended. You don't shy from controversy or from having opinions. And while you have a strong personality, deep down you just like to have fun. |
You Are a Total Brainiac |
You're amazingly brilliant. Some would even say genius. You're curious, thoughtful, analytical, and confident. You take on difficult subjects because you want to... not because you have to. No field of knowledge is too complicated or intimidating for you. You've got the brains to do anything you want. It's possible you end up doing everything you want. |
There's gonna be a HUGE controversy over this. Me (and a few others), against the world.
I'm not that weird!
You Are Fairly Normal |
You scored 50% normal on this quiz Like most people you are normal in some ways... But you aren't a completely normal person. You're a little weird too! Why You Are Normal: If you had to, you rather live without music and still have laughter You prefer your friends to your family You think fishnet stockings are trashy You eat the frosting first You think glasses can make someone more attractive Why You Aren't Normal: You would not eat meat from a cloned animal You prefer a good nap to a good meal You would rather be a movie star than an astronaut You prefer the moon to the sun When you're in a car, you prefer to be the passenger |
8D In your insulting little faces.
Confusion
You are White Chocolate |
You are White Chocolate You are sweet, caring, and truly very innocent. Whether your naive ways are a bit of act or not, people like to take care of you. You are a quiet flirt, and your power is often underestimated! |
Okay I'm confused. Are these quizzes meant for boys or girls? o_O Headache.
Native Americanism
Your Native American Name Is... |
Lol. Some cool name la.
I Feel Random!
What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You |
You are a very considerate person, but that doesn't mean you let people walk all over you. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it. In relationships, you are practical and realistic. You have a romantic side, but you only let it out when it's appropriate. |
Wow. Is that good or bad?
Lols
You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish |
You are pretty evenly split down the middle - a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don't actively fight them. You're just you. You don't try to be what people expect you to be. |
Oh My Gosh! Okay that explains Derek's weird comment about my looks ._.
The Forbidden Kingdom
Poster!
Jet Li - The Silent Monk
Liu YiFei - Golden Sparrow
Jackie Chan - Lu Yan, The Drunken Immortal
---------------------
Your normal kung-fu flick, with a small twist. It's about the Jade Warlord terrorizing his people, and this guy has a bo staff, which he needs to return to Sun Wu Kong. He gets teleported to ancient China, where he learns kung-fu. And helps to overthrow the evil Jade Warlord.
Before he gets teleported though, street bullies force him to get them inside a pawnshop so they can raid it. A guy shoots the owner, and he runs. The guy then tries to whack him. But he luckily gets spirited away just in time.
Remember him learning kung-fu? Well, he smacks the bully's balls when he gets back to the present.
For the rest, go watch the movie yourself :D Great action scenes, average storyline, lousy pronunciation of English by the nearly-all Chinese cast. But still, great fighting. And that's what we look for in kung-fu movies.
Quotable quotes:
"You want to learn kung-fu?" Jackie Chan
"Yes!" Michael Angarano
*Punches Michael Angarano*
"This is punch. Tomorrow I teach you block!" Jackie Chan
Lol!
And one more:
"What was that about two tigers on the same mountain?" Jet Li
"You're right; we can kill each other later." Jackie Chan
Idiots.
The synopsis from the official website 8D
A 21st Century American teenager takes a spell-binding, dangerous journey into martial arts legend in the new action/adventure epic FORGOTTEN KINGDOM.
Shot on location in China, THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM marks the historic first-ever pairing of martial arts superstars Jackie Chan (Rush Hour, Drunken Master) and Jet Li (Fearless, Once Upon A Time In China), and features the awe-inspiring action choreography of Wo Ping (the Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon).
While hunting down bootleg kung-fu DVDs in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason (played by Michael Angarano - "Will and Grace", Lords of Dogtown, Seabiscuit) makes an extraordinary discovery that sends him hurtling back in time to ancient China. There, Jason is charged with a monumental task: he must free the fabled warrior the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the evil Jade Warlord. Jason is joined in his quest by wise kung-fu master Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) and a band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk (Jet Li). But only by learning the true precepts of kung-fu can Jason hope to succeed - and find a way to get back home.
Cheers! (This is not an advertisement for the Forbidden Kingdom. If anybody feels it is an advertisement, kindly tell me and I shall go claim my fees from Lionsgate 8D)

I'm so damn tired.
Nothing much against Buckley, except for a Lennie toe-poke. Which went into my face. Pain like siao, and the ball didn't even go out. And Bayley was just screwed up. Eddie had a meeting, so we had to play Zi Jie (who is like some noob). And he showed his noobness when they scored their first goal. Balu was on the right, I was covering his shooting angle, so Zi Jie should be covering the man in the box, right? He went to tackle Balu, and failed, and Balu then squared the ball for Alimi to tuck in easily. And I shouted at him, he was like, "fuck you." Go burn in hell.
Then Matthew chipped in a floated pass, Lennard came out for it, but Alvan got the first and looped a shot over Lennard into the bottom corner. 1-1. And then Zi Jie screws up again by losing Balu in the box and letting him collect a through ball. I had nearly no chance sheesh.
Anyway, that's that. Moor'll just have to look out for other chances. And take them.
Went for training after that. Didn't do that well, I was so freaking tired. Shall train harder.
And I still need my own spikes!
Should I get these? 8D Lol.
Or maybe these.
I don't know. I feel so damn tired ._> And my dad's damn pissed.
We had this class ball. Someone said it was theirs. They snatched it from us. I snatched it back. Leonard hit me. I shoved him away. Therefore, we were fighting. And my FT called my dad, and my dad got me to go to see the school counselor, and grounded me for maybe... the rest of the year? Idiotic actions.
I'm still gonna continue my training. All the way. In his face (:

X-Country Finals!
C Div didn't do that well, maybe 4th or 5th. B Div lost out on first place by 1 POINT! To VS, but that's not the point. They still did great (: Too bad Shi Kai got a stitch, we could've won. A Div was just utter ownage. 4 of them, all in the top 10. Sickness. Good haul, Raffles.
It looked like it was going to rain ever since the races started. And when they finished, the sky did open up. And poor me was stuck outside the bus stop. Literally. Getting totally soaked. Luckily I left CCAB early. No shelter there either. I wonder what happened to them.
I must be getting paranoid. So many people seem to be pissed with me, or hate me. Am I that bad a curse on this world? ): I'm just scared.
Monday, April 21, 2008
Two more weeks.
I'm awaiting my numerous presents 8D Lol!
Wish I could go back to training, maybe I'll just drop by Bishan Stadium sometime and watch them train. Really bored now, nothing to do. I must get over my nerves!
PFT today was totally crappy. I did 53cm for S&R, then went to do IPUs (50). Michael did 54 wtf. And then we went to do sit-ups, which I totally screwed up the first time round, because JOHN YU JUN YAO was not freaking locking my ankles. And so I did it another time, after nearly wasting all my energy on the first round. Damn tired, but somehow I slogged to 43 sit-ups. I must be losing touch; did 60 last year. Damn. Standing broad jump was a failure, mainly because I didn't have proper shoes, and my feet kept sliding when I pushed off the ground. Same thing happened for shuttle run. What's more, I slipped. Oh never mind, I'm getting another chance next week. Gonna retry for full marks. I don't care what I have to do, full marks will NOT elude me this year. *Grr*
14 more days. And a week before confirmation for track. Nat's dad is real nice; he offered to talk to my dad, maybe convince him to let me join Coach's training (:
Sunday, April 20, 2008
All- Comers!
That's no excuse. I was freaking, freaking nervous. Somehow I guess the weight of all the possibilities weighed me down, and I just lost my nerve. My legs were shaking at the starting block >_< and thus, my start was screwed up. And I was like, oh shit I screwed up. Then my mind just blanked out. Totally. It's like I knew I was running the wrong way, but somehow I was thinking "change it!" but my legs just continued on the way they were. Sheesh. Oh well, I'll just have to work harder, I guess. Spoke to Mr. Jai Singh, he was saying if I'm so enthu I should be accepted into track :D Gonna talk to him tomorrow to see what can be done about it. Nat had a great race (63.48 400m imba!), so did Cal (12.26, with some crazy headwind, and he still says he's slow). I guess I'm not used to being under such pressure. I'll improve, you watch me.
And now I'm stuck at home being bored. >_>
Saturday, April 19, 2008
Siann.
Tomorrow's the big day. Just hope I don't screw up.
My dad wants to stop me from going to track. He think my scores are *&%(ed up. Let's look at some other people? Sheesh.
And I'm freaking pissed off at Yi Kang. Some great refereeing yesterday. Makes me wanna slap him. Oh well, at least we beat his class 4-0. That's a good thing.
We won't screw up anymore. I won't screw up anymore.

Quotes
But let's just do this.
"Haha aww fine la stupid @#$&^% !&$$^ (:" -Herman's random RANDOM sms to me. Weird person.
"A step gangster is someone who steps on a gangster." -Dianah's hopelessness at English terms.
Lol! That's all for today.
Coach wants me to target <12.5 this Sunday. I shall try not to disappoint him (:
Screwed up.
- We played like shit.
- We didn't take our chances.
- The referee was crapped up.
- I played lousily.
- 3A was at half-strength.
- 3A were zoning out.
- 3Q were not stoning.
- 3Q took their chances.
- 3Q didn't play like shit.
- 3Q was at full-strength.
We started off the stronger side. Possession was higher, and there were more chances. But they just were not taken. Kevin had a golden chance early in the half, where someone chipped him a floated ball. But he tried to volley it, although he had just enough time for a two-touch shot. But that's gone. Bottom line, we had more chances, we spurned most of those chances.
Then in the second half, a corner got into the box, Eric pushed it into Ping Yen's path, and he tucked it away. 1-0 to 3A.
Then somehow, on their counterattack, Michael managed to squeeze a ball through the legs of FOUR of our defenders. Ryan Chin had nothing to do but blast it past me. It's freaking stupid, but I think we were all tired. I nearly did get a hand to it, but too slowly.
And from a throw-in, Jia Xing and Ping Yen challenged for the ball, when Jia Xing shoved Ping Yen and caused his arm to hit the ball. The blind referee fell for it, and gave a penalty. They were all ready to chiong for it when I saved it, but somehow, when it was taken, they just stoned and let me handle the rebound, which I couldn't, because I was already on the floor and, short of an epileptic fit, would not have gotten the ball. Sheesh.
So it ended. 2-1 3Q, and me crying my eyes out. Shit.
We are so going to buck up and carry on. Quoting Suwe, "It's like a kick up the ass. " 8D
Oh my gosh!
To my 100m all-comers. Against Hao Zhi and quoting him "other faster people there". Unquote.
Freak!
and 17 more days :D
To 5th May, in case you can't count. My birthday! I'm waiting for my presents 8D
I went for training today. And the coach was like, "I contacted Vincent Quek... blah blah blah... if you can prove yourself he'll take you in." And I'm like, "Yea!". Haha.
And coach invited me to join them for training tomorrow at 5.
And Chern Hwee is like, "*GASP* What did you say?"
"David can join us tomorrow for starts."
"Oh shit you coach."
LOLs!
Okay okay dinner. I'll post about 3Q later. A disaster.

ORA Day.
Went to school at 7 am. >_> to help the RIPB people get ready their booth. In the end none of them were there when I was. So I just went to assemble for the walk/jog/walk. We finished it in... 20 minutes holy crap that's damn fast!
So on to the food/fun fair. Wasn't much of an affair, bought a bit of food, bought nearly nothing else after that... and played soccer. Boring, really.
Saw a couple (maybe more) of people I know from RJC and RGS, but other than playing FIFA Street 2 on Jia Xuan's PSP... I didn't do anything T_T Calvin is a retard. He go play basketball in the lightning and rain. Madness.
After the thing, Yi Kang and Darrell wanted to go home straight, and Yi Kang was sponsoring a cab (wow so nice) so I skipped lunch haha. I was sleepy like siao. Then took a bus the rest of the way. My birthday's coming up, and with it, Darrell's too. 5th May ftw! Remind me to wish her happy birthday on my blog yea (:
Piano class passed by in a flash. It amazes me how long it takes to just start learning a Grade 8 song. Nearly 40 minutes, without any proper corrections or proper ornaments. Ouch.
I loveeee bubble tea! Especially Oreo, or Vanilla. But if you don't have that, peach will do.
(This was a random comment. Take no heed of it, or else you will become random too.)
I'm gonna buy pink and purple laces 8D Watch me.
On a sidenote...
Something gives me the feeling Chern Hwee's pissed with me >_> If I did anything to you, sorry yea? I mean it.

3F.
For the first half, we were being idiotic pricks, trying to dribble past 6 defenders at a time and not passing the ball around. Personally I feel that we, especially Kevin, are too "good" for our own good. We think we can own the world and so we go on to try and do so. And fail terribly. So, because of that, we hardly got a decent shot in the first 10 minutes.
At halftime, I was freaking livid. I was nearly screaming at Wen Zheng to tell the others to take long shots. Zydney can handle 1v1s perfectly, and what are the chances that we will be able to dribble past their defense?! So the second half started with me pissed and Wendy telling them to take their chances.
This time, it wasn't that bad. First opening Josiah got, he struck the ball. Not with as much power as he would have liked, although the accuracy was there, and that did the trick. Well, well. Who would've guessed: It was a shot! Not a dribble-and-lose-the-ball! The unexpected timing of the shot befuddled even Ish, who let the ball squirm through his legs. And Zydney was too slow to react, getting to the ball but failing to get it away. See my point? Dribbling is predictable. Passing can be predictable, but you can NEVER guess when a shot is going to come. And it's all about surprise.
And from that point onwards, the floodgates opened. Zydney fumbled a header by Wen Zheng, which hit the post, before Jasdeep tried to shoot. He slipped, mis-kicked, and totally shocked Zydney, before having the rebound tucked it in neatly. Lucky goal, but still a goal nonetheless. Then a long ball managed to find Zydney (who had been deployed up front) who somehow, someway, got the ball to Yi Kang. Who went on a 1v1 with me! And I saved it :D I was damn scared I was too far out so I had to slide for the ball, but luckily it rebounded off his legs into touch. Yay for me!
Then Wen Zheng saw a loose ball in the 3F area and slid for it, swiveling the slide to angle the shot to the back of the net. Goal 3. Finally, after some neat passing, Kevin managed to find an opening, and shot *emphasize* for goal. Score 4.
Full-time. 4-0. And a 3 point lead at the top of the table. 3a'Soccer. Pwns you.

Poetry in Motion!
So we were thinking up random words to answer his question, and we're supposed to think of ideas out of them.
For example:
dark chocolate (your favorite food)
pink (your favorite color)
calvin (your good friend)
low by flo rida (favorite song)
end of school (favorite time of day)
december (favorite month)
falcon (favorite animal)
So the third line was the title of our poem (wthell?).
I didn't have time to come up with an actual poem, but ideas were quite OK i guess.
Here are a couple:
dark chocolate is bitter, yet one always goes back for more.
fooling around with you, i lose track of time, just like i did in december.
a falcon. deadly speed, deadly accuracy.
Blah blah blah!
Ok now for the next part:
Mistook a stranger for my dad (embarrassing moment)
Threw the ball into my own net (embarrassing moment)
Staying back to study in school when I'm not (a lie)
Winning interclass soccer (an achievement)
Being unable to get into RA (a failure)
Missing out on a piano distinction (a failure)
Fear (what you fear)
When I failed PFT in p4 (a moment that changed my life) --> I chose this for my poem, btw.
Ok. Next: (I won't list these out =P)
3 emotions or images you saw then.
Extend those images into feelings that the reader can internalize.
Blah blah blah.
And some tips for the poem!
Give it an interesting starting.
Use repetition.
No "teabags" aka cliches.
Play around with PoV and tenses.
Specificity!
What did you learn/what did the moment mean to you.
And here's the not-so-final product. Comment, yea:
The past, the old times.
Super-sized me,
daily indulgences of one-minute food.
The big day;
the uphill task, a mile from completion.
Laboriously dragging my legs forward,
dragging ragged breaths into air-starved lungs,
finally finishing fifteen minutes later.
Faces, old and new,
spinning around, laughing jeering
at super-sized me.
A wildfire of desire to change,
swept through my tired body.
My will hardened, my heart steeled:
Never would I be the same!
So began the regime
of hard work, of improvement.
Many a-times,
the thought of giving up
flashed through my mind
but the strong arms of willpower
pushed them firmly away.
And so I strove on.
The present, the current time.
Faces, old and new,
spinning around, laughing, jeering
but not at me.
Haha. Do you believe I failed PFT in primary 4? I don't either, but I did! Talking about PFT, FULL MARKS HERE I COME. But that's beside the point. I need to touch this poem up T_T
So my challenge was to shorten this poem into 14 lines, which shouldn't be too hard. And then I'll give it to him for another challenge!
Couple more tips: What is a poem?
It tries to communicate something. When you write one, you are not afraid to be honest, or sincere, or original. Make it interesting or convincing through using specifically crafted language which is appropriate to the tone of the poem. The whole poetry workshop was quite fun! And it wasn't a waste of time like I thought it would be.
Cheers!
P.S. An example of Jacob Sam-La Rose's pro-ness:
Jasdeep was thinking hard, about how to describe a friend using December. So he's been stoning for 5 minutes, before Jacob comes over and thinks for like 2 seconds, before saying, "Being with you is like being in December. Freedom is ours." Pwnt!

NAPFA
5 items. My standing broad jump MUST IMPROVE. Now it's averaging a 230? But A is 225 rawr. 5cm AWAY! Nooo! That's really close, and I'm damn scared I'll screw up. >_>
Perfect score will NOT, will NOT elude me this year. Sit and reach should not be a problem; and neither should inclined pull-ups. However... sit ups, and shuttle run. Are not very sure. Howhowhowhow?!
Ok. Let's list out my current and the A grade (do NOT suan this)
Sit and reach: 50cm/>44cm
Standing broad jump: 230cm/225cm
Shuttle run: 9.6s/<10.2s>42
Inclined pull-ups: 45/30+?
2.4km: 11.31/10.51 WTF?!
Ohmygosh. 2.4km's gonna rip my full score away from me. I AM GOING TO TRAIN. Grrr.
Good luck to everyone I know taking NAPFA soon! Especially the girls. I envy your NAPFA standards >_< Have fun :D
What a waste of time!
Spent like... 2 hours playing handphone games and passing paper ._> But then Jasdeep came along and told us that RI BDiv Rugby beat Saints 6-0 WOOT! Raffles Rugby Ftw. =) Finals here we come.
Don't say I don't support the rugby team; I do. It's just that I don't support someone on it. D:
And don't say I'm emo because of my previous post. That's an unqualified generalization. And if you don't want me to continue picking out all the fallacies in your argument, you shut up =)
I am soooo eye-ing these spikes :D
because these spikes don't come in my size >_>
Someone sponsor part of it :D

Honestly.
It's 10. I'm going to sleep. My mom wants me to do Chinese. I do part of it, planning to do the rest tomorrow. She, for some fucking reason, gets pissed and goes to tear up my workbook. So I go out and start shouting at her, "What good does that do? Can you think?" And she ignores me. So when she walks back into the room, I continue shouting. And my dad comes out and shouts at me, why do I shout at my mom, then he slaps me.
Fuck you.
I'm really near breaking point already. Don't be surprised if I turn up on your doorstep one day and ask to sleep over. The Bible says, honor yours parents; WHAT HONOR DO THEY FUCKING DESERVE? Do they deserve honor for being unreasonable. Do they deserve honor for slapping me when I try to knock some sense into their thick skulls? Fuck.
I want to run away from this hell. It's unbearable.
And buy me spikes.
SAA All-Comers!
Went to watch Chern Hwee, Cal, Ying and the jumps. Chern Hwee ran her 200, then Cal suan-ed all of us by saying he sure get last, then he go get 2nd. I'm gonna slap him one day. One more thing: Mr. Yeo go give him a thumbs-up, then he go say I screwed up. Anyone wanna help me slap him?
Then we went to East Point for lunch. See how wuliao it is?
Go back, watch 400m hurdles, and javelin, long jump, high jump, blah blah blah. Then I went home >_>
I'm gonna sign up for all-comers 100m >_< wish me luck.
sad. tired. angry.
Let me clarify. I am NOT telling people that I'm with you. Who the hell told you that?
And I am NOT stalking you. Puh-leaze. You are some dumb bitch. You and your paranoia.
Why the hell would I go around telling people I'm with you? And why the hell, the HELL, would I stalk you?! How stupid can you get. Think of just 1 reason why I might do that, then I'm doing that. But if you're just being paranoid, or being idiotic. Shut up.
And stop dao-ing me la Miin. It's a bit obvious. What did I ever do?
Pizza Hut
Pepsi! With Calvin Khor in the background ><
Mushroom soup, and a handphone.
Now with cheese.
And more cheese.
Side view. Of cheese.
Hut's Platter!
From a different POV. That's always good.
The BBQ Chicken Supreme.
And the Hawaiian!
Garlic bread. Yea.
And all the food!
Hawaiian close-up.

Drooling yet? :D
