Hi all. Really sorry about the 'jet lag' that got me all lazy for the past few days ever since i got back. Was overwhelmed by the unpacking of the humongous luggages, the kinda pathetic christmas party and the number of tasks to complete. So pardon me if i took ages to reply messages or anything virtual related. Ok was suppose to blog about Japan but the pictures took forever to load, so far, making good progress of 5 photos. How great.
I guess there wont be enough time to post before the new year, so i shall do the traditional end of the year review.
2009!
Hmm, it didnt begin as i wanted and wished for. Fireworks popping at Esplanade Drive but didnt get me jumping and shouting for joy like 2008. Had many thoughts at that time, and was disappointed in myself for some unfulfilled task. Oh well. Nothing usually goes to plan anyway.
The start of the year was pretty boring. I was still obsessed with track and training like a crazy nut, running hard and was plagued with injuries. Academics wasn’t that bad because i did study a little in the December hols.
Chinese New Year. It was nice and warm with graphics as evidence. Next year, it ll be very cooling with a lighter head. The 5 minus yp came over for dinner, free dinner. Yea first time friends visited for CNY.
Haha i remembered i had to hold back on the food during CNY thanks to Alvin Lim. But after meeting his coach (who s a REAL coach, super particular about the stuff that your trypsin, amylase and lipase work on), i realise how lenient he was on us. Yep, getting to know this Tampines commando was an honour. Sometimes when we went home together (he go his home i go mine), the conversations we had were somewhat like army buddies punching on each other s arms. He even took my dad s car alright. All in all, just saying that Alvin s no chipmunk, but a really good buddy.
So, under the guidance of the new trainer, i took part in my first competitive race. 800m at Bukit Gombak, sometime in February i guess. Was super nervous. Remember bouncing on the starting line and got a tick off from the officials. Hui hui and lois came to support but missed everything. Too bad. Haha. But it was a good race, came in 3rd and had a personal best of 2.19. exceeded all expectations.
So, after that, it was just trainings? And trainings. And trainings. Oh and another Allcomers. This time Ms Tan threw me in a faster category while lip chiau stayed at the first one. It was super pressurizing. There were like 3 ang mohs in my race with rousing ang moh accented support and cheers. Of course they ran like the wind using their ‘superior’ physique. Beat 1 to the line while barely beaten by another. 5th place. But another personal best of 2.17. totally didnt expect that.
So track seemed on the right track. Studies wasn’t good. UUUUUUUUUUUU. Ok it was bad. Atrocious. Disgusting. And i thought ok, after season.
More competitions, SPH Relays, was the 2nd runner for the 4 x 400m. Good experience.
Sports day came in April. Put together a confirm win team. Those who ran last year wasn’t keen. And so the team won, even broke the record while i sat on the sidelines nursing the shin splint. How wonderful that felt man.
I think the following week was A div. And my 800m was as disgusting as the UUUUUUU. 2.22, got my running plan wrong. NOTHING GOES TO PLAN. Was extremely disappointed. All that i trained for was gone. But luckily coach chose me for the 400m indiv and relay so i had the chance to make amends. and i did it by scraping into the 400m semifinals. That was good enough. 56sec. Relay, i was made the anchor runner, 4th runner to run home. Gave everything i got, almost cramped at the line.
So that was about half of my 2009. TRACK AND FIELD.
The other half is PE.
Haha nah just kidding.
Yep the other half was spent ketchupping.
It was a mountain higher than Mount Everest to climb. But i tried my best,with whatever time i had, maybe it was too late.
2009. I think i killed someone. If that someone still reads this, i m really really sorry. You are a fantastic person. I really enjoyed those times.
Yep that was about it. A boring 2009. Just running and mugging. The end of 2009 was perhaps the most exciting, with loads of cage and a HOLIDAY TRIP! A stingy father will still spend on holidays ok. Haha, it was a good experience, wasn’t entirely relaxing because i was the navigator in sardine packed Japan, but i still loved it.
Ok better go enjoy the last few moments of 2009 now!
HELLO 2010!!!
just call my name and i’ll be there.
just call.

Sibilings, farewell
HELLO. i found this random word doc in My Documents, together with the crazy 70 page H2 BIO NOTES done last minute few weeks back. It s lame but read if you are bored.
In the midst of being a nutcase mugging furiously, i thought of something interesting about siblings.
The eldest child is often the experimental child and one who will go power crazy as he or she loves hierarchy, believing that in terms of authority and experience, everyone younger in the family are losers, hence always throwing his or her weight around to show who’s boss among the kids. He or she loves to use the meagre knowledge he or she owns to boast superiority. When the parents see it, they go WOW because the rest are young stupid fools who simply can’t match up intellectually at that point of time.
The youngest child is often put simply and directly, the spoilt brat. He or she wants everything the elders have, and often gets them at a tender age when the seniors never had the luxury and privilege during their time. He or she is often the laziest in the family as everything is already provided and established. He or she is the family pet, getting most attention, but when the tables turn, he or she would seek it instead. He or she gets the slackest treatment because parents conclude from previous experiments that being a control freak doesn’t work, and should give the kid a say in their own life.
The in between child is unfortunately the most unfortunate child. He or she is trapped between the crazy power hungry eldest and the lazy and spoilt youngest. After experiments on the eldest fail, he or she becomes the next target, hence often receiving a different type of treatment, aka biased treatment. Whether he or she gets the stick, depends on the outcome of the previous experiment. But, since parents are quite dumb, (LOL) because there is no such thing as a crash course to become a good parent at the Community Centres, which ironically nobody patrons, they will ALWAYS get the initial experiment wrong. You know, Man makes mistakes the first time and learns from it, they learn that to prevent the second kid from becoming like the power crazy bossy first kid, you must chain the second at the kernel and show a scary face to prove who is the REAL BOSS. So, when the middle kid grows up, he or she will remember the lesson that the world is never fair, and often grow up to become a disgruntled retard, which in real terms, equates to being the most normal and sane in society.
For those being a single child, they are a combination of everything often possessing split personalities in response to the situation they find themselves in and the people they come into contact with. In order words, they are weirdoes. Sounds familiar eh, oh ya, lim pin’s a single child.
Back to mugging!
hahaha that s just crap, generalization and absolutely biased ranting at the spur of the moment, no offence intended, any references to any individuals dead or alive is purely coincidental. the lim pin part is the only exception.
oh there s a second part too,
i want to put on my spikes and run a 800m
i want to put on my studs and complete a 90min match
i want to put on my trunks and swim a mile
i want to put on my tights and cycle through the city
which still stands.
yay, i m quite satisfied with the to do list. it s shortening with every passing day. been really busy these few days. oh yea, before i forget, there was steamboat at ms ye s house and the track farewell bbq which i had to go late. felt quite guilty that i had to turn down the dudes quite a few times due to my pack schedule. after Christmas, i ll be more freed up! at least the Japan stuff will be done. doing the itinerary is no joke.
people are falling ill! it s the worst time to go down, so peeps get well soon! and to the TANKS and CHARGERS to be (not BOOMERS anymore! i think most would have gone in by now), good luck! just shout YES SIR and everything s good.
cant remember what else i was suppose to type here.. recent events, went for swim and run, xiaoping s house for short jamming and pool, repaid debt yesterday, ah nothing much. the big one s coming tonight. see ya guys, dun worry i will eat more sushi, wasabi, and drink green tea, miso soup and sake until i m sick.
SAYONARA!
Aishiteru.

Ok here it goes. A long one in a long time. With pictures!
Anyways, i got a new phone. Nokia 6600i slide (i think). 5700 got pregnant and had to go. the battery i mean, at least it left with a $100 value which my dad exploited to get a 5800 for himself. great.
so, the newbie has a 5 mega pix camera.
this was i think the first shot. just testing. yea prelim papers there. never gonna look at it again.
mugging in school. another test shot.
haha, this was some day in the 10 day break. i think it was Holiday Inn Hotel. Had some offer i guess.
mother wasnt happy and modified the face.
last day! 3 Dec.
ok there were some events especially during the 10 day break, like watching FANTASTIC MR. FOX. fabulous. that was after cage on the thurs. then there was loads of shopping. ok not really. more of loads of window shopping. got the clothes in time for prom. super last min. gotta thank aunt for that.
and there s SMOKER! or is that HUNTER! hahah Taylor doing an imitation in the Lan shop. met up with Reubby and buy 1 got 3 free. shawn, ying lun and ivan. it was nice though doing last min shopping for prom, offering useless opinions.
oh that was after the gruelling match. played for 31st SC against 32nd SC. Number 1, my stamina sucks. Number 2, my Tunit literally opened its mouth and said GTG, BYE. there goes my 4 year old studs. Practically played without soles. Number 3, my knees were scrapped clean sliding around. was kinda desperate to cover so much open space. Number 4, i was to blame for the corner goal, being the bleddy keeper.
ok i think that was it. it was a draw 2-2.
PROM.
just go facebook.
came back dead tired.
cage tml, jer bd tml.
update soon..
