OH MY AWESOME CRAP THIS GUY IS SCARY TTM.

And Taylor Swift isn't scary okay Shakila! (:

Haha I think I'll change the playlist.

Anyway, yesterday and today were really fun! Basketball/Soccer/Basketball again yesterday totaled nearly 7 hours of sports CRAZY RIGHT. Yeah so, woke up at 9 to go join Dinah and Nic for basketball, but at first there was only three of us. Until I convinced Shakila and SamWong and Marcus to come join us. Haha quite fun. Lunch with Felicia and Dinah before SOCCER EPIC SOCCER.



Hahaha. If you were wondering who the small kids are, they're Jeff Pom and Namu, Vic's neighbors. And let me tell you, they are good at playing; everyone there would concede to that! But it was really really fun, although a bit expensive. Next time we play, it's going to be on a weekday, when everyone only has to pay three bucks, not twelve -.- Thanks everyone for making it so successful! Justin, Vic, Cliff, Jared, Pom, Jeff, Namu, Wendy, Kelyn, Eddie, Ping Yen, and Justin's two friends!

Yes then cabbed back to church with EDDIE. OH WAIT MUST SAY THIS. EDDIE CAME BACK FOR A FEW DAYS HAHA. Imagine the shock when I found out. Somehow met him JUST as I was walking out. So yeah we went to soccer together. And then we cabbed back and EVERYONE WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HIM HAHAHHA.

Okay so yes dinner with Daniel and Mel and Sam and Eddie was a hilarious affair.

"I wanna change place." - Sam

"I'll go with you." - Me

"I'll go with you!" - Mel

"I'll go with you!!" - Daniel

HAHAHHAHAH SO RETARDED.

And yes more basketball and captains ball after that. (:

Next day!

Church in the morning, CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN ON PASTOR AARON'S ORDINATION AS ELDER. :D :D :D Great to have you back for another year with us!

And yeah sermon on managing emotions by Brother Solomon before small group Captains Ball was ruined by bad bad bad rain, so we had a great hour of talking about football and other random stuff. And lunch was quite fun. FELICIA AND RACHEL STOP TURNING YOUR SG GIRLS AGAINST ME!

Then hmm. Camp leaders' briefing (YAY I'm really happy with my GL and mentor; REALLY looking forward to working with you guys :D) and TOFU games dry run. Just a short post here specially for them.

HEY PEOPLES IN THE TOFU TEAM. Just wanted to let you guys know that we all REALLY appreciate what you've been doing for us; investing your time and effort in planning one day of activities. It may seem short but it really does mean a lot to the Youth and especially the primary 6es. And you guys have done a great job so far, judging from today's dry run. Continue to keep up the good work kay! And yeah whenever you guys feel stressed or worried or tired or anything just remember to RELY on him and draw strength from his everlasting abundant fountain of grace. (: Love you guys, JIAYOU.

And yes, I'm very sure everyone will enjoy TOFU this year. :D



My home, really.

So that's it for today! Barathum is not that great ):

Seeya all!

Cycling today was fun (: Although it was kinda sad it rained, but still! Good fellowship. I realize that Liang Zhi can be a bit scary sometimes. HAHA. Alicia will know what I mean.

I'm totally looking forward to tomorrow, because I'll finally be able to play soccer. And to think I thought it might be another failure; about 15 people going now!

Whee. I just have one grouse with today. Can anyone tell me, is 8.30pm a very late time to be home?

DotA was epic in the morning. Slardar + Lich totally pwned Bristleback and Bloodseeker. Hehe.

Gosh my posts are very short. I need stuff to talk about! Homg.

And pictures, because they speak a thousand words. (:

Ohmygosh organising people to go play soccer for 2 hours is hard hard hard work. But I'm not complaining, as long as we get to play. Yay finally; haven't touched a soccer ball in AGES.

Congratulations Pastor Aaron! and thanks Pastor Jon. :D

Gosh I reached home at 11.40 yesterday night. Super champion la. =\

Later going cycling, hmm I wonder if I'll fall asleep on my bike.

But it's been a fun week, Training then job interview then training + caroling then dinner + ordination service, and finally today! (:

I've been totally wasting my holidays away and I cannot believe at all that it's already the 25th of November. It's like, only a bit more than a month left, and what have I done that's meaningful? Nearly nothing. Okay maybe my meaningful is a bit more meaningful than normal meaningful; and I have done some fun stuff. Class chalet? Grad night? Yeah. But I want something more than just sitting in front of the computer/Xbox most of my time.

I've discovered that DotA is actually pretty interesting, although it's super boring when played against the computer 1v1. That's what friends are for eh?

Caroling practice! Training! Job! :D

But even though I'm sleeping at least 8 hours everyday nowadays I still feel tired. Heh, for some weird reason, don't ask me.

On a side note, when will you start talking again? It used to be so fun.

And that was my lame bored post for this morning. Hopefully something pro happens later.

Ohmyfreak Tottenham 9-1 Wigan?!!

Commentary from BBC Live Score.

1703: And Wigan's goal probably shouldn't have counted. Their goal difference is now minus 17, worse than any other team in the Premier League.

From Jack via text on 81111: "Sorry Arsenal fan here, surely a Spurs fan has hacked in to your live feed?"

1659: Think you must be delusional, Paul, they've actually gone and scored nine. That is Spurs' biggest ever top-flight win. Jermain Defoe joins Alan Shearer and Andy Cole as the only players to score five in a Premier League game. Incredible.

From Paul in Kent, via text on 81111: "Been ill in bed all weekend. Have I gone delusional in that time, or have Spurs really scored eight?"

1655: FULL-TIME Tottenham 9-1 Wigan

Tottenham goal: Wigan have completely gone to pieces - you won't be surprised to learn when you see that scoreline. Jermain Defoe picks up the ball on the right and the Wigan defence allow Niko Kranjcar to wander into the area completely unmarked. The Croat's ferocious shot comes off the underside of the bar to complete an awful day for Wigan.

1653: GOAL Tottenham 9-1 Wigan

Tottenham goal: "We want eight, we want eight," sing the delirious home fans - and David Bentley delivers. His curling free-kick smacks the corner of post and bar, hits Chris Kirland on the back and goes in for an own goal.

Tottenham goal: Seven for Tottenham, five for the brilliant Jermain Defoe. More calamitous defending from Wigan, Erik Edman making a hash of his attempted interception of Niko Kranjcar's pass. Defoe nips in to do the rest. Unbelievable.

1648: GOAL Tottenham 8-1 Wigan

1646: GOAL Tottenham 7-1 Wigan

1638: Relief for Wigan. Aaron Lennon - who has scored one and set up three others - comes off to be replaced by David Bentley. Jermain Defoe's seven-minute hat-trick is only the second fastest in Premier League history. Robbie Fowler scored three in four minutes against Arsenal in 1994.

1636: Peter Crouch heads narrowly over the bar. Due to the goalfest at the Lane, my eyes have been diverted away from Stoke-Pompey, but I'm told I'm not missing much. Stoke have a free-kick - but James Beattie's lame effort bounces once before landing in James Ashdown's arms.

1631: That's the first time Jermain Defoe has scored four in a game. He's got plenty of time - about 20 minutes in fact - to bag a few more.

Tottenham goal: The Wigan defence are completely incapable of dealing with Jermain Defoe. Vedran Corluka has the ball on the right, Defoe points to where he wants it, Corluka provides the pass and the England striker dispatches it past Chris Kirkland. Spurs only need 10 more to overtake Arsenal now...

1629: GOAL Tottenham 6-1 Wigan

1627: Wigan boss Roberto Martinez makes a much-needed change, Hendry Thomas replaced by Jordi Gomez.

Tottenham goal: Awful defending by Wigan. Peter Crouch holds off a couple of defenders on the edge of the box before playing in Aaron Lennon, whose run has gone completely unchecked. The winger slots the finish into the far corner for the goal his performance deserves.

1623: GOAL Tottenham 5-1 Wigan

Tottenham goal: Three-goal lead restored. Aaron Lennon pulls the ball back from the byeline for Jermain Defoe to volley in and complete a seven-minute hat-trick. That's the third hat-trick of his career. A hat-trick of hat-tricks, you might say.

Wigan goal: CONTROVERSY. Hugo Rodallega crosses from the left and Paul Scharner appears to control with his hand before beating Heurelho Gomes. "Booooo" go the Spurs fans. That should push Thierry Henry off the back pages. Probably not actually.

1618: GOAL Tottenham 4-1 Wigan

1616: GOAL Tottenham 3-1 Wigan

Tottenham goal Game over. Two goals in three minutes forJermain Defoe. Wigan fail to cut out Wilson Palacios's through-ball and Defoe is on the end of it, confidently slotting it into the far corner. Spurs now need another 12 goals to above Arsenal on goal difference.

1613: GOAL Tottenham 3-0 Wigan

Tottenham goal: Spurs fans can breath a bit easier. Aaron Lennon is the provider again, whipping over a cross from the left for Jermain Defoe to power it into the roof of the net.

1611: GOAL Tottenham 2-0 Wigan

1607: Spurs midfielder Wilson Palacios catches Hugo Rodallega late and leaves the Colombian in some pain.

1605: And they resume at White Hart Lane.

1557: You may be wondering why Spurs-Wigan is kicking off today. It's because the clubs thought lots of their players might be involved in the World Cup play-offs in midweek so they agreed to the switch back in June.

1554: Tottenham fans should be enjoying the as-it-stands table, which has them fourth, three points ahead of Aston Villa in fifth.

1548: Spurs looked like they might run away with it, but they head in at half-time with a slender one-goal advantage - although Chris Kirkland kept it that way with a great save from Jermain Defoe just before the whistle.

1547: HALF-TIME Tottenham 1-0 Wigan

1543: Threatening run from Jermain Defoe, cutting in from the left and running across the edge of the box before slicing his shot rather disastrously high and wide.

1540: Tottenham dominated the early stages of this match, but they appear to have switched off. Wigan brush the woodwork again - this time through Charles N'Zogbia.

1535: Niko Kranjcar plays in Jermain Defoe, who skips away from his marker and gets the shot in from a tricky angle. The ball skims off the woodwork. Might have come off the fingertips of Chris Kirkland - in which case, that's an excellent save.

1533: Robbie Keane goes for a jog up and down the touchline, and is greeted by warm applause from the home fans.

1532: Spurs keeper Heurelho Gomes bowls the ball out straight to a Wigan player - but he makes amends with a sharp save from Jason Scotland.

Tottenham goal: No surprise that Aaron Lennon, who has given former Spurs defender Erik Edman a torrid time so far, provides the cross from the right, with Peter Crouch applying the headed finish.

1510: GOAL Tottenham 1-0 Wigan

1507: Peter Crouch heads over at the near post when he might have done better from Wilson Palacios' dinked right-wing cross. Spurs have started the better.

1429: TEAMS Tottenham v Wigan

Tottenham skipper Robbie Keane is on the bench as he recovers from the Republic of Ireland's dramatic World Cup qualifying exit at the hands of France. Niko Kranjcar is brought into the starting line-up. Aaron Lennon returns after an ankle injury, replacing Jermaine Jenas, while Michael Dawson comes in for Ledley King, who has a hamstring problem. Wigan boss Roberto Martinez names the same team that drew with Fulham.

Ohmygosh that is completely unbelievable.

Thank you for being there, every single one of you. I love you guys.

Okay the last line my mom said when I left the house at 9.30am this morning, after lying to her about my toothbrush, "Try and change please? It's for your own good." Or something along those lines.

And then when I come back, I leave my slipper inside the front door, because usually I take them off outside the door and step in. And then I go shower without realising that they've been left there. And just for that my mom freaks out and starts treating me like a dog. And starts complaining about how dirty my shirt is (because I played soccer at Kallang cage). And she has absolutely no reason to become so mad except for the ONE SLIPPER inside the house.

And according to her it's just because it's all been building up inside her. And my brother has no bad things about him? Yesterday, when she was angry about me leaving the tumbler at my computer. I was going to put it back after my brother had drunk from it. But I forget, because I went to the toilet. And because it's near my computer table, she just wakes me up and shouts at me. And totally doesn't believe me when I tell her that I was going to help Kenneth put it back.

And the way she talks to Kenneth; "Please go sleep. Have you brushed your teeth? You sure ah?" He got pissed that he was woken up, slams the door when he comes back in and shouts shut up at the world. And nothing is said about that, only the comment that he doesn't react shocked and shouts when he's woken up by a smack. Bullshit, okay?

I know a lot of you who read my blog may find this stupid, or insignificant, or unbecoming of a Christian. But honestly, if I don't complain to people or rant on my blog about this, it'll slowly build up inside me, and something much worse will happen. I'm that kind of person; if I don't release it in bits, it'll all come out at one go. So don't judge me just for this, thank you very much.

And I know I have the tendency to lie to people, especially my parents and to like, just not be a good Christian luh. But I'm trying to work on it; I really am. So yeah.

---

On a happier note, One Voice practice today was super fun. I think I can get pretty good at this. :D

And yes, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. And Clarice found me a job! Love you luh, haha. Money here I come.

Class chalet was epic. (: You guys totally rock luh, although I missed about half of it. The rest was fun ttm. Bridge!

BOWLING TURKEY OMG.

I'm JS by the way. The lazy counter lady didn't want to change it to David D:

And you girls, you girls; why am I so nice to you? I don't understand myself.

Oh well now it's back home and looking forward to the rest of my days.

Thanks for the adventure guys.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday; Here I come.

Christmas Must Be Something More - Taylor Swift

What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing?
Would the song still survive without 5 golden rings?
Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe?
What would happen if God never let it snow?
What would happen if Christmas Carols told a lie?
Tell me what would you find?

You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wish they would always do?
What if happiness came in a cardboard box?
Then I'd think there was something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away?
Tell me, what would you find?

You'd say that today holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships, 100 mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year and everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind

It's that the day holds something special
Something holy and not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure

Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more
There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more

Totally inspired by this song. (:

I want my holidays to be meaningful!

---

This week's going to be busy, hopefully. Monday gonna finish matriculation after picking up progress report; Tuesday to Thursday have class chalet at Costa Sands, with caroling practice stuck right in the middle. Then Saturday whole day out again!

It's not going to be a boring week.

I don't believe how boring I think holidays are going to be. D:

Other than work and camp and caroling, YES I have stuff to do. But otherwise... heh it's going to be so mundane.

I need to find stuff to do; create things for myself.

Movie, anyone?

*is hopeful*

---

Hehh.

Thanks for the adventure; now, go have a new one (:

It was my choice to eat supper after caroling practice. It was my choice to wait for Liang Zhi's dad. So why blame the church? Is it that they "influenced" me to wait for his dad or to have supper? NO RIGHT.

So direct your anger at me, not at the church. Unless you're only adept at pointing the finger of blame at the wrong person/thing. You "question the maturity of the adults in my church"? Why not question your own maturity for jumping the gun and blaming them without any reason to do so? Why not question my decisions to stay back after practice? Please.

And I so did not "cause your illness". How is that even possible? Yes, maybe I stress you out sometimes. But like you said. People cannot "cause" me to be angry, it's a choice. So take your own advice, would you?

---

Holidays are here! I can't wait to find my jobs. :D

Not to mention ArtsFest tomorrow. Marissa, you'd better get me a good seat.

Chinese wasn't too bad! Maybe not an A1, but hopefully up to my parents' expectations. All I can say is that I tried my best for the paper. Now it's all up to God. It's awesome how He can make you think of things that you'll never think of with your own strength.

Thank you everybody who wished me luck and prayed for me! Especially Marissa, haha you're damn funny can. Don't ask me why, I just find you a funny person LOL.

Now with Graduation Dinner coming up tonight, today's officially the last day of Secondary school life. I'm not going to re-post all those emotional messages again, but yeah. Maybe I'll cry later.

But I'll see all of you when school reopens next year yeah (:

---

I think Liang Zhi is the perfect example of how a sibling should act. Jiayou you!

So it was supposed to be a nice outing with my family for dinner. Until I brought up the topic of graduation night.

See, the committee has free hotel rooms as a sort of "thank you for planning this event". And so I told my mother that I wouldn't be coming home on Tuesday as I'd be staying over in Waterfront Copthorne for the night. And she suddenly has this averse reaction; her face totally changes expression and she asks me incredulously, "Why?"

And I tell her, I explain to her. And she just goes NO without giving me an explanation. So I continue to pry, because I really want to know what's wrong with staying over in a hotel room. Turns out she's worried for my chastity, and about how my schoolmates might possibly be gay and want to rape me. Not to mention all her worries about drugs and drinks. So yes, of course I piss off. How could she just randomly accuse and pin her suspicions on my schoolmates, whom she has never ever met, but I have met for at least two years already?

I continue to question her. And she just gives me these replies without actually saying anything. And when she continues to insinuate that nowadays "not only girls have problems, even guys might be up to bad things" I just lose it and jump on the spot. Because I absolutely do not get her worries.

She just gets even angrier and the whole freaking night is spoiled. What is wrong with her and her paranoid attitude? It's as though every person in the world is almost probably an evil person and she's the only one she trusts. But that doesn't work; that will never work. I just continue to get more frustrated because I totally do not understand her.

And then I'm boiling over on the inside and shooting my mouth off with what I think are logical rebuttals to her illogical statements; my dad comes up to me and raises his voice telling me to "Shut my fucking trap." Thanks for the great example yeah, dad? To think that this morning mom could tell me to keep quiet, lest my little brother learns from me and picks up vulgarities. Don't be a hypocrite, please. You always tell me not to be a hypocrite yet I have a living breathing pair of genuine examples in front of me. Swearing at me and telling me not to use vulgarities. It's as bad as saying, "You had better fucking not use the f-word." Does that make an OUNCE of sense to you?

And later on over dinner I try to smoothen things out and possibly solve the problem. And my mom keeps on trying to say that she knows exactly how I feel. How in the world would you EVER know how I feel when I don't share anything at all with you? And why don't I share anything at all with you? You told me to ask myself, I did, and now I have the answer. It's because I don't feel comfortable enough telling you my problems, because somehow you manage to twist it into being my fault, when all I'm looking for is some emotional support from my family members. Useless, you.

And you keep on comparing my actions to the church. When I lose my temper in front of you at the playground, you call me a lousy Christian. Yes, I'm a lousy Christian. I'm a hypocrite, maybe. But most definitely, so are you. Don't you dare tell me to do things that you yourself don't do, okay. Why should it be the church's fault I lose my temper all the time; that I never seem to correct my mistakes? Who has more influence on my life? I see church people twice a week. I see schoolmates five days a week. I see you EVERYDAY of my life. And so, do you see where my logic is taking this argument?

Not to mention your obvious anti-Christian attitudes. You keep on saying that Christians who sin and go to church without repenting are hypocrites. Look at it this way; anger is a sin and people ALWAYS get angry, no matter how much they go to church. So are ALL Christians hypocrites who don't deserve God's grace and the Abundant Life? UNTRUE. Jesus came down to save ALL of us, as long as we ask for it. So yes, call us hypocrites, but don't ever say we shouldn't go to church. I pity the persons who agree with your reasoning. Because if that were true then Christianity would not exist; nobody would be a Christian.

Suddenly, you start bringing up things that happened long ago, since Sec 1, about my mere pass for piano. And they have absolutely no link to the current scenario, that is, graduation night! I am honestly a logical person, although an emotional one, and I really cannot stand it when people continually be irrational and don't make sense. My goodness.

I think you're insecure too, you know. Maybe I am, very much so. But so are you; you take any bit of criticism and just turn it into something humongous. I say "There are bigger influences on my life than church, so you cannot blame who I am on the church alone." And it gets interpreted as "YOU GUYS SUCK AT BEING PARENTS SO JUST GET LOST." No surprise that I'm getting more and more distanced from you, then.

And after awhile you just decide to run away from the problem and not talk to me at all. And no matter how hard I try to find out more you don't WANT to talk to me and help me try and figure it out. That's such a big help, thank you very much mom and dad. How am I going to fix this and make things better, even with God's help, when you won't listen to anything I say at all?

---

Lord, help me understand please. I don't know what else to say; what else to do. But I know to solve this I have to understand how they feel. Help my over-rational mindset understand the hurt and pain a parent feels, even though I will never relate to it anytime soon.

Also, Father, grant me Your Grace, so that I will be able to heal old wounds and repair past damages. Help me in this undertaking. Be present in my parents' lives, and open their hearts and minds so that they will listen to what I have to say and not brush me aside like I'm worth nothing. I don't want my life to continue like this, pothole-ridden and uninspiring. Lord, You've helped me before, and I know You're always there, and I only have to ask for Your help.

So thank you Father, I praise You, always and forever.

Amen.

---

You know I'm missing you already? Just after I argued with my parents earlier, I thought of the person who'd always be there for me, to listen and to advise, and I realized that you'd flown off. And it hit me, and I just started tearing.

Okay, kinda emotional, but it's true.

(:

Choir concert today was pretty darn cool. (: I applaud all the people who did the actions, as RachieK put it, I wouldn't have dared to do them in front of a large audience. But the music was really very nice, sometimes so entrancing I had to fight to not fall asleep, cause it's just so lullaby-ish. Les Miserables is magical, or at least the songs are.

But it was a really nice experience for the first concert I've been to in four years of Secondary school life. And well, maybe it wasn't as great as professionals, and the performance aspect could be better, but who's to complain! My friends were performing and that's all that matters. You did great.

After that went to Lz's house to slack the rest of the day away, pretty pointless but for some reason I enjoy myself there all the time, even though most of the time we're doing nothing at all. Pictionary was pretty fun, good job Ben.

Liang Zhi get the pool table quickly! I can't wait for it to come haha.

What's a blogpost without a bit of complaining? Mom, honestly, if you want me to shut up so that Ethan won't pick up any impetuous attitudes or vulgar language, then you certainly should look to yourself. Surely you have more influence on him than I do, when I hardly ever see him while you are his caregiver. Not to mention your irritating habit of jumping to conclusions without even hearing people out at first. Please, try to get the full story before adding in your own tidbits. Okay I'm done!

And I know this post is very short, but ah well. I'll add on a little more after this.

Cheng Yi! Leaving for Taiwan tomorrow already, eh? I never expected a year to fly by so fast after getting to know you so well. But it's been great fun and I don't think I'll ever find someone like you in terms of friendship; it's just so unique.

Enjoy yourself in Taiwan okay? And remember to buy me something before you come back! A month seems very long, looking at it from now, but I'm sure it'll pass by in a flash and before we know it you'll be back for camp.

Before flying off for ANOTHER holiday, but that's another story.

Still, take care of yourself (: We'll all be thinking of you back here. God bless!

<3

Graduation was today! I'm officially not part of Raffles Institution (Secondary) anymore. But with all farewells come bittersweet emotions.

Yes, of course I'm looking forward to JC life. It's going to be a whole new chapter, a whole new adventure for me. Yet at the same time comes this underlying sadness that I won't ever experience this magnificent four years of my life; times of anger, times of frustration, times of happiness, times of joy, times of conflicting and paradoxical feelings. I certainly made tons of friends in RI, and definitely I've improved so much as a person due to the trials God set in place when I first stepped into this institution's halls.

But adventures in life, like chapters in a book, always come to an end sooner or later. Unlike a book though, where the plot is set in stone, your life isn't slated yet. It's all up to how memorable and treasured we want our lives to be. And I hope to do just that in JC.

Wow, all this down-to-earth talk is really getting to me and I'm starting to get into the sad mode. But although our class will break up (and that's really a pity, seeing as how bonded our class is) we'll still see all of them next year. At least we're not splitting up to different schools.

And that's a good thing (:

I can't believe I don't remember that quote from Up! The Movie, but it really touched me and I think it's extremely applicable here. Something like this,

"Thanks for the wonderful adventure; now you go have another one!"

Similarly, thanks guys. You guys rock.

Dedicating a Bible passage to all my friends out there!

"And now these three things remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

Corinthians 13:13

JASDEEP AND UDAY TOTALLY FREAKING OWNED.

For the record, they lost by only seven points. Even though they got the most votes. Thanks to a certain someone who sat with their vote box and shouted his lungs out to attract the voters' attentions. I blame the loss on the Fat One. No offense, but I personally don't think Liplocked Liberation was that great.

Video coming up soon! After Jasdeep sends it to me or something like that.

But the whole night was pretty disappointing, I guess? Could see all the effort being put in but firstly, a bit more variety for the open show would've been nice. 5 music-related performances and only 1 comedy? Not to mention the really bad comments all the judges gave for Solo. Wonder why they were all Sec 4s, last year there was a Sec 2 in it, lol. And showmanship as a major criteria seemed a possible backfire. Good tactic by Nishant for trying out Open category though.

Never mind, RJC's talent competition coming up next year. I'm going to make a promise to myself not to screw up this time. (:

I think Marissa's super funny luh. You will NEVER guess who her brother is. I nearly had a heart attack when I found out. Hehhh.

Zzz. I honestly feel you are too overbearing and useless and pointless. (:

"Just treat your mother as though she's dead; you don't have a mother."

"Church... just go to hell la you."

"Next time you put your socks with the clothes I'll stuff them into your mouth."

"You dare to push open the door behind me and argue with me? You failure."

Is that what a mother is supposed to say?

Whee I've joined One Voice. Vocals and pianist. So now have to learn doxology and Gloria Patri hmm. No problem, I guess.

Haha today was super abnormal. Church in the morning, sermon on Ministry to others. And we were supposed to play soccer immediately after church but apparently the field didn't open until three. So I smsed Cheng Yi telling her that no reply. And after I came back from Just Acia after SG lunch (which was really cool btw) she'd left already. So I sms her again asking if she was okay! And still no reply.

Then camp leader "interview" with Bert Ber and Joel. Pretty darn funny actually. But I won't go into the details. Caroling practice is super fun! Steph YOU CAN SING OKAY. Have some self-confidence will you!

And after that soccer with the TOFU peoples plus small Bert. Quite fun, although tiring. I think I'm epically unfit now luh, I start sweating like mad after only a few minutes of play. And Cheng Yi still doesn't reply! Until I find out from Liang Zhi that she went over to Beth's house. And yes, I was worried for nothing.

But today was fun. (:

---

PEOPLE OUT THERE. I'm going to book East Coast Cage very VERY soon so yes people, PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU WANT TO PLAY. I'll only book if there are enough people, so yeah. (:

Okay Jasdeep suggested I post about today, so here it is.

It wasn't too bad overall I guess, but it really didn't do much to show what keepers are made of. And I guess that's the whole point, because they want to see what skills the outfield players had? But it didn't do anything to boost my desire to give my all, I just stood there and tried to stop some of the balls going in, a pretty hopeless task in itself.

And I'm so small, I really can't do much in the huge goals. I'm basically nearly drowning in it! So yeah that's one of the MAIN reasons why I don't think I want to join next year. Not to mention the size of the players! And now my fingers still hurt from making save after pointless save.

And thus I am left with the dilemma, track or soccer? I really must say I enjoy both very much, although track training would beat soccer training, while competition-wise they're probably about the same. Both coaches think I have potential; that I can do better in the sport. I don't want to just quit track like that; team spirit is very important and I think I've a good thing going for me, I don't want to throw it away just like that. And soccer, well, I just don't think I'll click with the J1s. Not to mention the prospect of running 6km twice every week!

I don't know! God, help me decide?
