Gift Of The Gab

2005-05-07T14:34:00.000-07:00

The match against NYJ we won 5-0. didnt play cuz we didn't wanna take any chances, so we put our best team in. However we lost in the match against SA. 3-2. quite unlucky i must say. our line-up were countered by them. it was a real exciting match, and everyone tried their best. Tml will be our last match, against TJ, who won both SA and NY 5-0. we hope they put in their reserves, so that we can have a chance, and hopefully win 3-2.
Saturday. Kaichun's bday. Earlier went to Jurong Point with val to shop for his present. bought a nalgen bottle for him. brought 30 bucks out, ended with nth. crap. we went to eat at Ajisen's in Plaza singapura. dats the first time i ate that, $16 bucks. wtf so ex. then we went for midnite show, hse of wax. must say it was quite gross, better movie than creep. haha but it was a cool $9.50 spent on dat. siao la... money's gettin less while prices are going up. if only the stack of 10 dollar bucks in my wallet is mine, but it is the badminton fund for the jerseys~ wa lao pls let me pick up a $100000000000000000000000 note. tml got maths test and tca, tue theres chem test, wat a !@#$%^& week. last of all, respect for the late ex president Dr Wee Kim Wee.

Friendly at Meridian

2005-04-30T21:30:00.000-07:00

Yesterday , went all the way to pasir ris to play a friendly against MJC. Our best singles Huai An, won the first set and lost the 2nd, so it was a draw. he said it was because he didnt do his warm up properly. hope he learns his lessons now. i empired weijian and junfeng's match against their doubles. after that match, weijian told junfeng that he dun think they can play doubles together in the tournament liao. I only managed 2 games against 2 girls doubles. quite sianx cuz their girls were not as good as guys. this we beat them. i also partnered with leroy(old) to play with mr sia and their teacher in charge. damn fucked up with my shoes. first set win den 2nd set lose. my proace shoes are getting worst by the day due to the friction being used up. but i wouldnt wanna waste 60 bucks to buy another new pair. afterall i don't think that badminton will still be my priority sport after this tournaments. den after dat we went home ourselves, with no sch bus to fetch us. the group of badminton guys, 9 of us, went to eat long john silvers near tampines mall. talked alot of crap there, and bio some girls along the way. after that took a long ride of mrt all the way from tampines to boon lay and back to chinese garden. on the mrt still talked more crap, and we were discussing about some issues about the jersey, which cost around 29 bucks. but yeelong and huaian all said they could get it at cheaper price. gotta admit it was careless of the comittee not to consult them first, afterall they are more experienced in purchasing shirts den us. but it was at a short notice and mr sia told us to make the decision ourselves. hai wait till they take over the comittee one day. Friday went to Jiani new house for hsewarming. she didnt invite all the class ppl, due to some personal probs, but nvm she invited me. after gian-ing her buffet dinner, went to her hse. it was very nice, well decorated and sophisicated design. wanted to watch smallvile on her 24 inch lcd screen, but the rest wanted to watch the person in the mirror(jing zhong ren) by fann wong, missed a great episode. next tuesday theres chem and econs test. but both i also can't take, due to my involvement in badminton, shit gotta study beforehand now. NYJC. we gotta beat them.

Passed Napfa

2005-04-27T22:40:00.000-07:00

Finally, i passed napfa on monday after jumping a 226 for standing broad jump. wooohooo. wahaha. hmm these few days are really quite boring. Tuesday, wenda and yiwee came to my hse. wanted to watch White chicks and 50 first dates dvd. but my dvd player was phucked up and we couldnt hear the sound. so i showed my NBA video clips to them. i think they weren't too interested, but having nothing much to do, we still watched the Nba stars do their stuff. after dat, i played the vcd the eye 10. Thought it was suppose to be scary, but it ended up lame and boring, and i dozed of towards the end. Today's wednesday. short day for us, after sch, went to play couple of sports. went to shoot some hoops at the netball court first, den went to play volleyball with kelvin. then to hockey court to hang out for a while. must say its not easy to play. have to keep ur body bent like most of the time and its very tiring on ur waist down. after that borrowed tennis racket from grace and played alone with the walls. freak day lah. duno what happened. should have gone home to do some work. time's 1040 now. still have to do the recycling project for class. dun tink it will be anything spectacular. sorry class~

Creep

2005-04-20T07:10:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, after the very interesting talk on 'challenges, changes and choices' by mr melan or melon, me chin han lawrence wenda and yiwee went to watch ~creep~ at Jp. at first the story was quite ok. a woman stucked in an underground subway when she fell asleep and missed her last train. after that, there was still a last last train that appeared. the woman alighted, then strange things started to happen. and ppl started to be killed by an unknown character. but in the end, after the character was unveiled, things werent so scary anymore. after the show, we really regretted watching the show, as there wasn't any real ending. maybe it was lawrence's part in the movie that makes us feel at least there was something in the movie worth watching. lol. we'd keep teasing lawrence due to his little resemblence with the lead character, the mutated killer. it was 10 by the time i reached home, and i was tired n headed straight for my bed after bath.
Today, after sch, played a little netball with cheryl wenda yiwee and lawrence, den went to clementi sports hall to meet patrick and kenneth to watch the basketball match between JJC and Innova Jc. it was their first match, and they lost by 4 points in the end. poor captain richmond got a cut under his chin and i saw blood coming out from underneath. of the 5 ppl that played today, only 2 were year 2s, richmond and timothy, while the others were year1s. a pity farui didnt play, cuz he could have made a difference. Jitsin and caleb and kevin oso missed the match through injury. Jitsin and caleb being key players would surely have given JJC the edge. just hope they can win the remaining matches. my own badminton matches are coming soon in may. this saturday have friendly against Meridian Jc, just hope we can show others what we're capable of.

A long time since i last blogged. what have i been doin the past week. cant really recall everything. let me try now. Monday, start of the day, i think i went for PC, and it was a slacking period all the way. tuesday, was it the day i went to watch pacifier? it was overall a humorous and entertaining show. imagining a muscular man like vin diesel being a nanny-like role is really funny.anyway the company was michelle woon li me chin han and lawrence. den there's wednesday i tink i muz haf played some basketball cuz i slept like i pig when i reached home. thursday, the first time we had 'night training' in school for badminton. it was from 7 to 9 pm. before that went to play some bball. so i was quite tired after that. the worst thing is we had training on friday as well. next day, PW results were out. i got a band 3. quite sucky especially my whole group got a 2. really a bit disappointed with my oral presentation. but wads over is over. anyway. friday, those F maths ppl have to go to see mr simon leow at aVA room. F maths refers to those who fail maths not further maths. anyway we expected a total gruelling scolding, and at least he mades the point to help those weaker ones. monday and tuesday and wednesday will be the days where we will get the revision we need for the next test. i surely wont fail it. promise

FAILure...

2005-04-10T00:50:00.000-07:00

maths test oso fail, chem test oso almost fail, napfa oso fail, jio gal oso fail. seems to be failin every freaking thing there is to fail. failed standing broad jump. shudnt blame on the rain, i really jump like shit. can't even get an E. haha. look on the brighter side. at least i failed only one. but anyway after napfa. i went K box wif my sec sch mates. christina min chu lee ying, kenneth eldon and jiahui. the next day was jiahui the gay's birthday, so we decided to be nice and sang him a bdae song. it was member's nite, so it was suppose to be cheaper. but we had to leave before midnite cuz there's still sch for JC ppl tml. wth. Friday cca was boring. didnt really train, just played among ourselves to decide who was better. heard mr sia was going to put the members of the committee into the tournament squad on priority. i didnt quite savvy this idea. haf to admit some year 1s are really deserved to be in the team. stonger den most of the year 2s. but going in thru my committee status seems unfair for some year2s. sigh heck care. went to see the basketball friendly btw JJ and YJ. both gals and guys were playing. so i just enjoyed both matches with xiaojun you tian cheryl and wenda. guys won by 3 points. i tink they were experimenting the year1s. cus only 2 year2s played. captain richmond and treasurer jitsin. manage to notice something funny. the 'yao ming' seems to have a tight ass. on closer look, he didnt seem to be wearing any inner undergarment. lol. den wenda keep oogling. weekend coming. no plans as usual. week after week A's seems to be nearer everytime. time to die.

Wedding date

2005-04-04T21:25:00.000-07:00

start of the new time table schedule. GP TCA was postponed once again as most of the class 'forgot' to bring their booklet. hope we can finally get it over and done with tml and wed. so we spend the lesson discussing about these quotable quotes in the modules. some of them were very cheem, but some of the quotes were literally understandable. of all the ppl dat gave those quotes, i only knew rev martin luther king. must be the result of my lack of reading. lol. anyway his quote was 'injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' wow... really lotsa meaning behind it. to tolerate small acts of injustice can lead to encouraging a grave mistake. and this quote 'power is the great aphrodisiac' makes me really wan to be powerful. lol. as ppl are sexually attracted to ppl with power? after 3 borin periods of GP, went to maths lec. den after dat another 3 lessons of chem pract. boring la. thurs got chem retest, next week maths test and chem SPA. wth. after dat borrowed wenli's nice adidas jacket to wear and act cool. nana saw and pinched me when i mentioned the jacket jinyi gave her. wad a spitfire.
after sch went to Jp watch the movie with wen Li, lawrence, panda, weiyin, adeline, michelle and melissa.
woman goes to sister wedding. ex boyfren is best man. woman find charming wedding date. woman falls in love with him. thats roughly the story going on in the movie 'wedding date'. sounds boring huh. but actually its alright. like lawrence, i felt asleep towards the end of the movie, so some parts of the ending i wasn't too sure. the lead actor was quite charismatic and charming. thus the women in the movie are all droolin over him. the lead actress looked alittle like jennifer aniston. so it was a gd match movie wif a british accent.
Anyway i received my NS letter to go register for the date to go CNPB check up. the thought of letting ppl check my whole body gives me the chills. lol but its all part of life. Napfa oso coming soon. suddenly thought i would fail. think the 4 weeks BMT is unescapable for me given my fitness now. shit~ recently became a confidant for some of my frens, telling me their problems. and all of them are gals. there are ppl telling me im the woman's guy, meaning i seems to understand women better den normal guys. got such thing one meh. if its really the case, i think i'll nv get another galfren in my life again. cuz i think she might rather wan me as a close fren rather than a boyfren. after seeing my fren grace breaking up with her boyfren, i saw the power of an angry woman. haha. just ask her what she did.
quote of the day: education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

Bbaaaall

2005-03-29T21:41:00.000-08:00

after weeks of no balling, i played ball in sch for two days in a row. played some matches and did some shooting training. i tink i hurt my right toe.must be the new shoes. it hurts when i walk now. sian. how to go PE tml. i won Jit sin in a.b.c for some sets, won him 3-point 5-2. and 1-on-1 won 11-7. lol. i know he hasn't put in his best, but i didn't too. he won't wanna injured himself and my toe hurts. but felt satisfied anyway as i can suan him, the best centre in JJ, haha 180 lose to 169 cm... had i made a wrong choice in not joining the team. maybe i would have been 100X fitter by now if i remained. shit la always regret the choices i make. anyway i tink my passing has deproved. dunno why. i tink its the different group of ppl, and i can't adapt to their style. missed old times... maybe its time to concentrate on badminton training now. long time no train, i tink i'll throw face in the interschools coming soon.

Boring weekend >.<

2005-03-26T23:31:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was 'Good Friday' which wasn't so gd for me, cuz i spent almost all my $$$. Morning went to play bball with yiemun and lawrence and chin han. wasn't as tiring as playin with my old gang of bball mates, but still had fun anyway. den after that went to Jurong east central with patrick. he said there was a haircutter there only for $4.50, but it wasn't opened for business -_- so we went to have lunch instead, den after that we walked past a small saloon, so we decided to have a haircut there, which costs 8 bucks. we discussed about what to do after that, it was still early afternoon. wanted to go for movie at orchard, but i found out i've only cents left after buying a bottle of deodorant and wax. !@#$$%%^^&& no money left, so i suggested to go play bball. suddenly the sky turned dark, and rain drops started to hit my head. so evil. so the rest of the day was slping at home. what a 'good' friday.
Todae is post-good-friday saturday, morning to afternoon nth happened. do the usual weekend slacking, until afternoon mom and sises went to ang mo kio, my cousin's hse to celebrate his bday. i joined them later, and met up with my relatives. tml will be a better day~ hopefully.

BurfDay~!

2005-03-23T05:51:00.000-08:00

Yesterday 22nd march 18 years ago, was the birth of gabriel, thats me. This year received more sms than last year, think more ppl remembered it this year. Although birthdays does not seem such a big deal for me every year, this year i'm happier than last time, but i don't know why. maybe i received more sms at midnite to wish me, or some of the gifts i've got. =) but its the thought that really counts. muz really wish them back on their days too. played bball with lawrence chin han maorong yean chin yie mun and soo eng, my classmates after sch. felt like im really bad now. can even shoot 3 points. pathetic. used to score without difficulty. now i think my fitness have dropped tremendously, have to work on it real soon. Napfa coming...
Today, went to China town. wanted to try the green tea flavoured soup round. blah (how do u say tang yuan in eng.) it was highly recommended by jezzlynn. couldnt find it so settled for the normal flavoured peanut, sesame, yam and red bean ones. yummy. oh ya we ate sausages from the caucasian chef. so ex. 2.50 for mine, and 6 for lawrence(2) and 3.50 chinhan's. after some loitering,(didnt really listened to the poor tourist teacher) we headed back to sch. as everyone hoped, PC was cancelled after bad weather was anticipated. lawrence and chinhan den came to my hse. after playing a few retro games, we played chess. i won chin han in both chi and international chess, i thought he was supposed to be intellectually superior than us since he had 180 IQ. haha i guess mine muz be 200. but i lost to lawrence on checkers. maybe he played everyday when he was a child. but soon after that, we were in the seats of the westmall eng wah cinema with yean chin and yiemun watching ROBOTS. before this, we thought it was just a childish cartoon animation. but it was actually more than what i expected for. it had a nice plot, cute characters, humorous scenes and a happy ending. it really made us laugh. i recommend this movie if u wanna get a gd laugh.~ friday is gd friday~

~sick

2005-03-19T23:43:00.000-08:00

friday
had to reach sch at 9 for badminton training. tiring but beneficial to us. competition nearing, can we break the egg and win at least one match? certainly hope so. after going home to take a bathe, went to s`pore expo to meet wenda wenli for the adidas warehouse sale. a straining 1 hour ride from chinese garden to expo. worst than those rides in KL as i had to stand -_- when i finally reached there, saw the long queue i need to get in to get into the hall. sianz1/2 again. but queued anyway. saw lawrence's bag and hockey stick on the floor, so i called him to confirm. yea he was there. saw my new fren jezzelyn near the enterance, she finished shopping already, while i was just about to go in :s finally got in, went walk around with wenda, den chose a pair of sneakers, 40 bucks. quite cheap considered it was adidas. den walked around wif lawrence. accidentally kicked his hard-like-rock nike shoes with my slippers. my toe nail broke and i didnt notice until wenli asked me. wat a lagger. and cheryl yong xiang yuan oso came, wif her sister and brother. they really have the same type of eastern+western face. and her bro was tall even though he was sec3. according to wen li, she had started to queue up to pay since 2+. the time was 4+ now. the hall was really packed, and some of the gd stuff had already been snatched, example is adidas shoe bag, which was going for $5. after paying, we finally got out, we went to suntec as wenda wanted to buy a shirt she fell in love wif at first sight. but ended up not finding it, maybe they didnt wanna sell to her. haha~ anyway went to carefour, where i bought a box of sushi and 2 chickens. the chickens i brought home for my family, might be the cause of my illness the next day. -__- the ride home from suntec to home was another gruelling 1 hour was we took 14 to clementi, and there me and wenda took a mrt while rich wenli took taxi. guess the day really strained me. my legs felt weak when i reached home, maybe walk too much. X_X
saturday
duno what came down on me today. headache and stomachache, but woke up in time to watch pokemon. after that checked temperature found out that i was feverish as well. ate some panadol and applied wind oil(feng you) onto my stomache and head. some expert asked me to apply ice when i slp, im gonna do dat now~

KL trip

2005-03-14T21:48:00.000-08:00

Whoa... long time no entry... so there was a KL trip on friday, 11 mar to monday 14 mar... badminton soccer netball basketball and volleyball were the CCAs that have gone. It was kind of a holiday for the badminton team, who had two friendly matches cancelled... due to the schools having interschool competitions at that time. That resulted in us playing against only one school, on Friday. Before we went KL, we stopped at another place called Kluang and we played a high school there. Unfortunately we lost. I won my first set, but lost my concentration at the back... felt really bad about letting my doubles partner down. Heard dat the soccer team lost too... but volleyball won... basketball lost by about 20 points... which was not too bad considering that they had 2 state players on their team, and several key players of JJ were injured and not playing. After those matches, we went to a nearby restaurant in the area to have our lunch. It was considered sumptous as we had about 6 to 8 dishes on the table, like those sort of typical meals in a restaurant. after that we spent about 4 hours reaching KL to check in to our hotel. The journey was really quite straining... and almost everyone was slping by the 2nd hour.
On the 2nd day, saturday, the badminton team had no games, the other ccas went for the respective games... while we stayed in the hotel after lunch. From 12 to 8 we stayed in the hotel. We wrote a report for Mr Tay on our plans after going back... it took only less than an hour to do so. and the rest of the time we spent it playing cards. By 5 everyone was bored... and we went back to our rooms to slp. Speaking of rooms, My roomates, siew kang and leroy, we were assigned to room 1703, at the 17 level, where the netballers and volleyballers were staying. How lucky~ haha. The hotel was actually quite comfortable, and i had no problem slping everyday. Sunday and Monday was shopping day for us. On Sun, we went to support the volleyball team at a japanese sch. We were expecting a group of cute japanese volleyball chicks on the court, but we were some sort stunned by the group of middle aged women playing against them. However I was really impressed by the volleyball team, whom they won 3-2. It was really close between the two as the opposition were experienced but we were technically better trained. After that we went to Times Square to shop. It was like Taka of Singapore, except it was bigger, and had an amusement park in it. I didnt have the chance to visit the park as the badminton team went to another mall nearby as it was cheaper there. But i heard from other guys that visited the park, that it was a super cool experienced. wished i had played. X_X anyway that was practically nothing else happening for the trip, except for the time at the customs, where Jun Feng smuggled his chewing gums through the customs by stuffing them into shuttle cock tubes, smart. Overall, i felt dat this was a gd experience... even though not really enriching for the badminton team. But at least we noe how the pro players train. The way they play, i can only dream and dream.

A-Level Results Release

2005-03-04T21:45:00.000-08:00

First period, Miss Yamuna gave us a sorta 'wake-up' talk today... for the first period she told us about our chemistry standard, and asked us to gauge where we were standing... after her motivational speech, i believe more of the class of S23 will begin to remorse... and start our preparation for the A's... Hai... I'm really feeling the heat now, especially when I'm slacking alot right now and my results haven't been very ideal. After school, the whole J2 cohort went to LT5 to view the 'live' presentation of the A-level results to last year's J2. Mixed reactions could be seen, some were smiling, while some were crying. There were tears of joy as well as tears of pain. There was a scene where a guy was staring down at his result slip looking stunned and disappointed. I presume he was one of those who could neither advance nor retreat... and he was just lost. I suddenly feared the worst for myself, i had a premonition that i could be just like him if i don't wake up... *damned* somebody slap me to wake me up. Enough of laming around during free periods... its homework time... Enough of spending weekends finding friends to hang out... gotta start catching up on weak subjects! Haha, the most positive thing about today would be my A-level chinese result. An A2...michelle was the only one with the A1, so i had to make do with the 2. But it was good enough to defeat my two opponents, Chin Han and Lawrence, who are more comfortable with English, and they can easily beat me in GP. Well this is Gabriel typing 'live' at home... I'll bring you more another day... Gabriel out

Boring day

2005-03-03T21:03:00.000-08:00

So.. this is my 2nd entry... todae had econs test early in the day... quite stressful... wasn't able to finish it in time... like most of the ppl... every1 was saying... 'so much to write, so little time' blah blah... so whats wif the rest of the day... feel so blank... After sch... esther lee met the badminton guys goin for the KL trip to brief us slightly on the itenary... quite excited about this as its the first time for me... but may be disappointed as the haze in KL might get worst... go away haze... tml is a short day... and there's no CCA... but there's the chi a level results coming out... how would i fare... can't even remember how i did it... i certainly hope to get the best grade if possible... good luck me
