Tra la la la

Tra la la la. Super bored and super stoned.. Tra la la.. I want to do something but my mum is running a prison camp.. I got her pissed at me today. Well... she kinda likes to screw up everyones weekend. This weekend sucks..no football.. no formula1.. nothing.. They should have a rule against weekends like this. Anyhows i was supposed to meet Eileen at one but i woke up at 12. I was really happy when she said she was tired and decided she wanted to take a nap. So i went to time my run myself and after abt one km i had a cramp. I was really pissed cause i should have warmed up properly. I went home and my mum was like blah blah blah again.. I tend not to listen. The whole day from then on sucked really bad. I mean it was really boring. I watched cartoons and more cartoons and more cartoons till i had a headache. So i decided i'd go play tennis and guess what... my mum suddenly remembered that i had a sprained wrist. For the whole week she didnt give a damn abt my wrist till i wanted to have fun.

Gives new meaning to the word-bloodsucker doesnt it. MSN doesnt seem to help me either. Everyone seems to be complaining about their new classes or in some cases their schools. I mean how the hell am i supposed to help if you went to NJC or RJC. Not like i can do anything and to all those people complaining about their classes, Anything and i mean ANYTHING is better than a class with nine rv( no disrespect to your school ). 4 han hua 3 cat high and 4 Bukit panjang govt. high school dudes and 4 scholars from china. Its like free chinese lessons everyday. I dont mind the language considering most of my close friends are chinese but i mean could they at least try to converse in english especially when speaking to me.I think sherm was the only one not complaining on msn today.

Sherm was like "you cant abandon me for your rv/nanhua/chispeaking friends ok". I'm like i should be the one saying that. U guys shouldnt abandon me WITH my rv/nanhua/chispeaking friends. Guys honestly please dont. I'll die.. i'm a hedonist remember... i strive on fun and pleasure. If that is taken away i'll honestly die. Argh.. Sherm suggested i go try neopets to cure my boredoom and u noe what?? Since i'm seriously so bored i'll just go do that...Tra la la la...

Debates

Went back to watch Barker debate today. They did fantastic. They won their 3rd straight debate although Bilias screwed up bad. He sholudnt really be on the team. We were ranked second behind plmgs on going into the quaters which was seriously a pity. It was rather unfortunate that CHIJ TP lost to SCGS. I was rooting for IJ but scgs were just too good for them. However IJ saint nicks beat NJC. My junior was very upset seeing his former team win and his current team get knocked out of the competition. So much for going to NJC. MGS topped the A'div ranking and i think they might end up winning it. All the debates and meeting up old friends really make me wish i had joined debates but well i cant do everything i want to. I miss the old days of preping for debates and the trainings and stuff but thats what caused me to divert away from my studies so i guess i should just be happy.

school

School school school.. i miss my old class. my new class is full of china scholars or river valley students who speak in Chinese. They tend to forget i'm not Chinese.. So i guess you get the picture... Hockey training was fun.. Ran 6km(too little really) and went to the gym. I never knew there was some maximum weight rule thing when lifting weights. Apparently the max i can lift is 150 pounds so according to this rule i should train with 80% of 150 pounds which is roughly 120 pounds. I had to lift 120 pounds which is almost my weight for 5 stations over 5 sets. So now my shoulder hurts. I cant fit into my class.. ARGH.. There is really nothing to look foward to in school anymore. Whats worst than being in a class where no one speaks in English. I miss SA5. Well have to go sleep to rest for another day of torment tommorrow. If only i wasnt a hedonist. Then maybe i could try to make the most of it.

perfect

Got my com back but only for abit. Today went perfect in every sense of the word. Mclaren did magnificent in Formula 1. Both drivers on the Podium. Chelsea also won... A smashing good performance from a team missing 4 first team regulars. 3-0 the final score was against Sheffield. Good Stuff. Played my mixed doubles match today. WE WON!!!.. 6-4 6-7(4-7) 7-5. My wrist is gone thats for sure. But i'm happy we won. Tomorrow school starts again. I'll miss 1SA5. Tomorrow a new beginning.. And what a way to start a new beginning with a winning weekend.

A fine farewell to 1SA5 i leave with a phrase from William Makepeace Thackeray the novelist of vanity fair. ( my personal favorite)

The play is done; the curtain drops,
Slow falling to the prompter's bell
A moment yet the actor stops
And looks around to say farewell.
It is an irksome word and task:
And when he's laughed and said his say,
He shows, as he removes the mask,
A face that's anything but gay.”

I leave with a final farewell. We take our bows. We were 1SA5..

WTF

No damn mood to blog. My mum wants my com and i've only been on it for 10 mins. My wrist is sprained from that hellish training and i ask for a pain killer or some sympathy and i get a lecture on the evils of the computer. My mum probably thinks its some tool of the devil so i mean what the F**k right.

"the superiority complex"

Today went for class outing. Woke up at 7.45( really early for me) and went to kallang to go to Bedok so that we could take a bus to ECP. Went to have breakfast and then went to ECP. Everyone cycled but i had to string my racket. I cant play with destroyed strings can I. So then i met Eileen at Paya Lebar then we walked form there to ECP and then wandered around finding the rest. We talked about all sorts of nonsense from politics to socio-economic issues to random stuff. There was bowling alley at ECP but everyone wanted to meet Zi Yun so we went to marina square to play bowling but the place was full so we just ended up eating at burger king. While waiting for the bowling guy to call, the girls were talking about their cookies and God Knows What and Mingle, colin and Yx were talking about WOW in chinese so i decided to leave with elieen and shermaine. I think the rest went to play bowling eventually.

Reading todays newpaper(The Straits Times), Eileen pointed out to me this article on the review page titled "Why the superiority complex?". It is a very interesting article i recommend everyone to read. Its basically an article written by a Malaysian journalist about us annoying Singaporeans and how we verbally attack the nearest Malaysian on how much better Singapore is everytime we cross the BRIDGE. Its also on how we fail to enjoy the basic freedoms they enjoy such as littering, smoking, chewing, laughing, smiling, flicking and eating hawker food that actually tastes good. The article basiclally takes a bash at Singapore and the stuff we pride ourselves on.

After reading the newspaper article and considering it was from a Malaysian newspaper( New Straits Time). The article probably helped the newspaper by showing its readers that it is a stout defender of Malaysia. In Malaysia there seems to be a simple rule in politics when it comes to Singapore. Anyone who attacks the Republic gains credibility as a stout defender of Malaysia. It was the same when Singapore's MM Lee Kuan Yew commented on Malaysia and Indonesia's ethnic Chinese minorities. Singapore was used as a whipping boy by Malaysian politicians to show their 'loyalty to Malaysia' and they naturally demanded an apology from MM Lee without taking into account the numerous occasions they used Singapore as a bashing board with us keeping mum.

The author probably failed to notice that even though we may be denied simple rights such as chewing and spitting it is for the benefit of the majority and he also probably failed to notice that we enjoy equal rights regardless of race or religion which is as much as I can say about Malaysia and their Bumiputeras. Ultimately we would all assumably be lying if we said we can live without Malaysia and they without us. When u think of Malaysia... If we ever find time to think of Malaysia (Yeah we're too busy enjoying our Beautiful, Green and Clean Singapore) . The first thing that comes to mind is, "isnt that the place with the fake stuff" which is as much as i can say about them...

Tennis at last

Adarsh made it.. John Heng made it and Tim Fang made it.. YEAH!!.. all of us back at AC.. really happy adarsh made it.. then now i wont have to hear his nonsense about how we are from different schools and blah blah. Played my tennis match today. My doubles partner christopher and I played against my cuz and his double partner andrew. We were the favourites to win. But things dont always happen they way it should. In the first set we took a commanding 3-1 lead but we were interupted by the rain and when it continued we went 4-1 up and from there didnt win any games. we lost the first set 4-6. The match took a 15 min break as the court was dried. We resumed the second set. We once again took the lead this time a 3-0 lead. Then as things would have it, I slipped on a wet part of the court and buckled my knee. We went on to loose that set 4-6 aswell. The last set was disasterous as every game went to a duece we lost every game and got thrahed 0-6. It was interesting to note that i was completely out of sorts.

Even the audience and that mega hott chillean girl noticed. At least she noticed. I was really short on match fitness. My service lacked pace, my backhand lacked accuracy and my forehand lacked power. The only thing that worked for me were my drop shots. They were awesome. I've never seen them come out so beautifully. Even my stamina seemed to have deserted me. never after only 2hrs of playing have i felt tired but today i really couldnt move around as fast as i am used too. Maybe all that skipping training to go out and all those cokes are getting to my system. But most importantly i realised today that i was disastracted. Distracted by what someone said. I kept on thinking about what she said through out the entire match and it must have been very obvious cause even chris' sister noticed. I think what was said is causing that wierd feeling inside. honestly.. But i'm too happy to care or am I...
