it's wednesday today, 3rd day of the june holidays but here I am injured.. pulled my hamstring during training on monday which effectively means that I can't participate in the Swift Meet this weekend :( was hoping to run so that I can fine tune my 400m.. damn me.. and now jon has to run alone for the relays too because shali has to run with the junior squad.. probably hosni's idea..
tuesday (yesterday) was NS medical check up day and it was fun! I was late in meeting raynard because of my 'act smart ness' and that caused us to be late hahah! but the good thing was, our process was smooth and no delay and we were spared from our 'ball check' hahahah! ;) there's lessons almost everyday and tomorrow we'll be heading for the SPC chalet.. and that'll probably be the last contact we have with SPC.. woo hoo!
What a day or days (ok whatever)!
Yesterday we celebrated chansey's birthday at Raffles place at some restaurant that was kinda like Mache just Japanese styled.. nice :) then went to the esplanade to play some games which Meng hong lost in and had to do this really funny dare.. it was so funny i teared hahaha :D first he had to take his big black wayang shoes off and he had to 'prey' to them in front of the whole crowd.. it was so so so funny.. hahahah! yesterday was fun! hope to do it again soon or maybe after the As :)
today was tiring.. it was mum's company's family day kinda thing and we had to wake up early for some tour thingy.. the tour guide spoke in really bad english and she tried to add humour into her broken speeches but in the end I was giggling more at her style then the actual joke so ya.. first we went for a ducktour ride.. BORING! it was moving so slowly....... there was the need for speed!
quack quack..
then we headed for the Singapore Flyer :) 28 capsules, that's probably the only thing I've learnt from the guide today (hahaha).. and once again, the thing was moving so slowly I wanted to just push the capsule or something.. hahah..
Fly Fly Fly..
Ticket (front)
Ticket (Back)
Next up we went for lunch at some Jelepeno restaurant at the flyer and the food was not really ideal so ya.. too much garlic yucks! and then we went for some fish spa thingy at a place called Kendo (I think) also at the flyer place.. this place was kinda fun but at the same time boring cause all you had to do was sit there and watch the little fishes bite off your dead skin so ya.. some ppl were so afraid of the tiny fishes and I have no idea why...
thereafter, went to town with the intention of accompanying calvin for some shopping.. I think the great Singapore Sale had started or something hahaha, kinda laggy in my social life this year.. and then Audrey came to join us and we just 'hung out' hahaha.. calvin and I were stopped by this guy from Visa or something for us to pen down our wishes to Team Singapore who will be going for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and they took a photo of us and pasted it on some wall and also gave us both a copy:
quite a funny moment, but it's kinda fun doing such random things at times :)
Audrey went home, and calvin and I continued hanging around before he PS me for jane and blah blah blah blah.. went to meet mum and then we bought a PSP :) cool.. we got the latest colour: Brown and it's really quite nice :D
sleek :)
dinner was at Raynard's favourite place Seoul Garden and surprisingly, I ate so much and still am not full.. wao! and finally i'm home :) more fun tomorrow, it's the holidays! woo hoo! hahaha A levels? who cares! hahaha (ok just jokin).. :)
just realised it's been a week since i last blogged hahaha.. and anyway, let's applaud DAVID COOK, our new american idol!
anyway, it's been a week and there's loads to share.. let's start from last friday
GP exam and Sports day..
GP exam was a diseaster because I'm kinda afraid that i didn't exactly do well for my essay and for P2, SQ was blank and AQ was atrocious.. damn it.. such a day exam.. lesson learnt, blah blah blah.. ok fine, i get it hahaha..
Sports Meet was ridiculously funny and the SPC had to march in funky orange with orange caps and waving to the crowd like little pumpkins hahaha.. funny.. and i had to recite the oath thingy but it was alright.. invitational race almost saw a cancellation and also a defeat but it was alright i guess.. but it was kinda cool to win other schools in front of your home crowd.. now that was the 'amazingness' :D
Sunday was the final allcomers meet and i got a new PB! not that i'm very elated or whatever but i got a PB yay! hahaha.. 23.88, next target, 23 flat :) had dinner in town with kubo, hardi, mel, jon and shali and calvin i guess since he was there.. @ cini BBQ chicken which was nice! but kinda little in serving.. we found sex spots in gombak and even took photos of the place and it's with XXXli hahah!
last week of school's been great.. so far doing fine with my studies (yeah right) and alfred's not around for training this week so we have to train ourselves.. ok gtg :)

watching american idol today allowed me to reflect back upon my life as a runner.. i've been in this 'business' for almost 7 years now and after all the shit and sweat, last year's nationals was really a mile stone for me when we first got our nationals medals.. the show featured videos of all the idols going back to their home towns and all of them were like shedding tears because they've gone through so much and there they are.. just like what Judge Paula said to Syesha last week : 'You're living your dreams...' I think it should have been more significant to Shali too since he came into the 'industry' since primary school.. it's almost like his life.. whao..
Tomorrow's GP mid yr exam.. and although we can't exactly say that we choose to be in this but after coming so far in my studies, and when you really finally get your desired grades, you'll finally realised that all the shit was for something.. hahah something deep from me.. Let's just wait for the allDavid finals next week!
And o o, the hockey girls will be playing their 3rd-4th placing game next week, following a lost to VJC today at Delta Complex.. but according to some, losing 2-0 to VJC is considered a good result considering the fact that they are the defending champs.. in the end I decided to go down to support them because after all, it's not everyday our girls can get to such a high position.. afterall, as a sportsman, sometimes we really do need that little 'spectator support' once in a while, especially on big days :) (and sports day is like tomorrow as well) GREAT JOB MI HOCKEY GIRLS!
SAVE THE WORLD!Myanmar was hit by a giant cyclone some 2 weeks ago, and recently, China was hit by a really powerful earthquake.. people are dying just like that, here in Singapore, we really have it good.. god bless them all!!
2 more days to GP Mid Yr exam and I'm so excited.. had another mock accounts paper today (3hrs) and it was alright, hopefully :) had some stupid SPC meeting again but what really shook my day was Shali calling me and demanding that I leave the meeting immediately.. like what the hell! o god.. nvm, just gotta endure all this shit for only 2 more weeks! yay! :D training was creepy because we saw a cat's corpse at the 200m mark at the stadium.. I wonder who'd be so heartless.. after training, went to westmall with Rayson and me new found friend Alicia from 08B6 and also the distance group of track.. Thanks for companying for the bus :) time to read my marketing notes because after so many rounds of revision, i'm still a horrible Marketing manager ahahahah..
10th of MAY: Institute Day.. Millennia Institute had it's 5th Institute Day today.. and i had to collect colours award from last years' achievements.. i'm kinda puzzled about why i'm gettin the award but since they're giving it, just take it hahaha.. there after, we headed to the renovated up and running gombak stadium where shali and jon had mini competition with some of the best atheletes.. jon was not happy for his jumps and that caused us not to have dinner which is why i'm seating here typing on my blog feeling like a dumbass all alone at home.. yucks.. I shall do some studies now.. that's the best option i've got.. tomorrow's mothers' day so HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! :)
I've missed 2 trainings this week and that sucks.. today had some stupid rehearsal for institute day which is this saturday.. as if we need a rehearsal to collect a prize.. how retarded.. jon also had to forgo his jump training today it's so stupid! had a 3 hour mock exam for accounts today.. was kinda excited that we're getting into the exam exam exam mode hahaha.. hopefully i'll do well for this test because i really tried hard for it.. fingers crossed.. just hope the next test will be as easy as the one we had today.. o well..
There's
American Idol tonight! woo!! we're left with:
1.David Archuleta
2.David Cook
3.Syesha Mercado
4. Jason Castro
I'm supporting Archuleta because I think Cook has an arrogant face hahaha.. Jason should not be in the top 5 and Syesha's great but not very consistent in her journey and she's the top female now cool!
IRON MAN! heats 1 and 2 of MI track and field meet are over! friday was heats one and i had to complete 400m twice in less then 2 hours.. retarded.. then there was inter house frisbee! it was fun but in the end my team got 2nd only because the stupid referee gave a point to the opposition.. but still whatever.. hahaha.. saturday had to attend some talk which was a little boring but it wasn't very long so no prob.. and and and, we caught IRON MAN on friday! it was not bad but i didn't like the ending where the guy just confesses to everyone that he's iron man.. retarded.. giving it 3.5/5 :) a new week tomorrow, one more week closer to A levels and i didn't do any studies during this weekend, damn me! hahaha :D
