This is my 197 post... so long.... Before I go, Liverpool won Chelsea 2-1 for Community Shield... That's a big announcement... haha.. Premiership is starting soon... Man Utd... Jia You!!!!

last post...

Be back if its time... but not now... So long... Basic Thuganomics..

Nic.

This is probably my last entry... I will try to crap it as long as possible. These days, alot of things really come into my mind... I dont know how to explain. However, it seems that the world is changing at such a rapid pace that I'm unable to catch up. Relationship; studies and sport. These 3 aspects in my daily life, is changing... It's like a big revolution has taken place a few hours ago and my world has collasped. You can say that I'm becoming nuts but I'm actually not. I have seen enough and I have had enough. I might not be suitable for this change yet. I maybe need loads of time to do so. I dont know...

Relationship wise, I wish everyone who has a partner with you, stay happy as always... Friends of mine has always make me feel so jealous after all... Haha... Kidding. However, I just want to say is that, treasure what you have now. Although it's probably puppy love to all of you people, or maybe a very serious relationship, just... just treasure the moment you have with that gal or guy... wow... I'm talking crap again... I know loving a person is and I have experienced it. I dont wish to see people hurt themselves. I heard people slashing their wrists, wanting to jump down... What's worst, saying 'I wana die' from morning till night... Oh come on... At least, be strong enough to stand up and move on... Looks like I dont have any and I'm acting so bossy as if I have one. LOL... The guys in S(B) always say Gabriel and I are like buddies. Our sight-seeing is so bad that they think that we are only attracted to guys only, not gals. Haha... Wow... if that's true, I would be laughing my head off.

Family matters, try not to quarrel with your parents. Once, I did quarrel with them. However, after thinking about it again, I realised that the most important part of life is still the days with your family. You will miss them terribly when you parted from them. I once hate my sister, to the core, because of her attitude towards my friends and I. However, sometimes, she is still as sweet as she was young. I understand that our family has this mentality of helping friends towards the end. She's one of them and I'm one of them. Now I realised that she's like me, so there's nothing to hate at all. Wow... Crapping again... Never mind. Since this is the last post, I wont do much about it... Haha... Just use all my broken english and singlish style of writing would do... Had enough... Told you...

Studies... People!!! Work hard!!! I know you are not retards like me who dont know how to concentrate on studies. Please!!! Dont be like me... I seriously dont like people to follow my footsteps. Even if I'm a good student, a good student also has bad grades. Just work hard will do. People like Christine, Diana, MeiQi, Christina, Ivy and all the Secondary dudes... Work hard... I know you all can do it... Getting good results gives you a good future. I bet you have heard this crap alot of times but trust me, you wont regret it after you score well in your academic. You will love to study rather than work... hehe... Seriously, working sucks... You do the same thing, again and again, till you are sick of it... Most of all, treasure the school days you have now. Like me, I always go back to Canberra because I miss the school. Haha... Never mind... VJ will still be in the Computer lab, I will be always there too... to use the com and talk cock, sing song and play 'Mahjong'... haha...

Till here, I will write some things about me... Sports... Hum... Soccer... I might not be the best but I will still work hard. I'm not going to give up, that's the way for me to survive. I always have this feeling of not giving up, probably I dont want to lost or I hate losing. However, after the fight with Gavin, I realised that no matter how suck is the team, it still takes teamwork to build up the spirit, to build up the set-pieces for soccer, as well as giving people the opportunity to score goals and winning more games. Soccer's most important rule is to score goals, not do tricks... Jack told me that and I know it... as a good striker, Jack is still able to maintain his position... Haha... He's as good as before... While Eugene, he's always good, with all the Steven gerrard passes and kicks, you better run for your life if the ball is in mid air and he's gonna whack it... Jimmy??? He runs, he dribbles, he make a mess out of you... Blah and blah... He's the Theirry Henry of our team... God-like... hahaha... Jia Long is not bad at all too... His kicks are better than before.. Less high balls but passing wise, still can improve. I see him grow to become a good player and he did well this time round... GOOD WORK!!! As for the rest, Kian Wee, Jonathan and Gavin, you people started to have the interest in soccer is a good thing for us... We have enough people to play now... Lol...

Before I end, this question is popping into my mind... Is success and money that important in life?? I really dont know how to answer that. A friend of mine told me that he wants to earn alot of money to help others. That sounds 'artificial' to me. Maybe I'm too sensitive to what he has said. Last night, we have a chat and I dont know how he treats it but seriously, I was not in a good mood. Brother... If you know who you are, I hope you would forgive me... for this post and my reaction for last night... Maybe I'm still naive and I dont understand a hood about money matters. However, I wish you could join the competiton because you are the one who inspired me to sing and in the end, you are the one who said you are not joining because you need to pay money... Come on... I would not go for the lessons too... I would like to try it out. Though I have a chance to be out of the competition, at least we have the experience. Then you told me that the money that I earned is to make my Mum's life better... Not to be poor and be famous... Seriously, right now, fame and money is not that important to me... Does money allows you to buy friends??? Family??? I would rather be as poor as now, than being famous...

I compose songs to allow people to enjoy, not for the rich and famous... Composing a song is my interest and you are the one, AGAIN, that inspired me to do so. You are a brother to me and I really wish we can compose a song together but it never happen. I wrote songs for the sake of my hobby, to tell my life to others, especially to my friends. What's the use if you know how to write all the lyrics but dont know how to play the piano or guitar with it??!!! I would rather sing it to my friends. If they are happy, I'm happy... that's simple... I have a bad voice, poor in my languages and I'm writing a song, people would be laughing like mad now after knowing that I actually a pathetic person who dont know how to write proper songs... LOL!!! My entrance to V.E. is another thing that you inspired me... You make me feel that singing is so great that I join V.E.. However, this seems like I'm heading nowhere. Music is used to allow people to appreciate it... and since your words last night... I dont think so that I'm able to survive in V.E.. What's V.E. if you dont like singing?!!! I would rather be a nerd in the Poly, with no CCA, with my spastic spectacles and uncombed hair... Like that I would be better off...

I'm not picking a fight or what... Just espressing my views... I dont wish you to do this kind of job since its not suitable to you... I know I have to tell you this but this job dont suit you... I'm npot saying that I'm looking down at you but at this market, to sell these products, you need to go to places or households who are health concious. I could lend you my Marketing book if you want to see it, which will make you understand more about business... Such lines are hard to maintain... Its either your rise up high or you're going down, all the way... I dont mind you work as that for the next few years but I dont wish you to work like this for a living till you retire... I think there's other jobs for you... or you can open a shop and be successful. I dont mind to see you going successful or wealthy but I dont wish that you would buy the idea that with money, you can make things the better. There's some things that money cant buy... I may not be a good rebuter but what I can do now is to advice you... Political stuff... This is what you gonna face when working life starts... I dont wish you are being screw by others...

As a brother to you, and you as a brother to me, I wish you would not work as a salesman till you retire... Hope its a short trial... and also, join the competition... Told you... It's for the experience... by the way, I wont force you and you cant force me... However, I might not be taking the competiton if that day comes... who knows... as what I have say, my life my rules... I live because I'm happy with my life, even if I have alot of troubles... This shows me something... Money cant buy me happiness...

I dont know why am I lame... Can anyone tell me?? If I give a lame answer, I would be laugh aupon by others. What's worst??? Sacastic remarks would be given too... I really feel that I should stop but the prob is that, I live with that. Seriously, people who know me, if my comments are so sarcastic, or I give you a stupid lame answer, just say it.. I will still accept it. Please do tolerate my behaviour, my character. I'm doing this probably I'm childish. YEAH! People do get to be mature enough as they grow older, not me. Although I'm getting old now, 18! Finally!!! Still, I'm behaving like a child. Too bad... That's my life... You like it or not, welcome!!

I dont know... Things are turning around, shooting me down... Seems like I need to face the life of a small kid when I was in Primary school, the quiet me, who dont even speak to my friends. I dont like this way of life... I'm being taught to be interactive, not being a stone for life. Haix...

Soccer today is quite bad... Gavin, aka World Class Goalie, injuried himself. We wont the match by 3-1 but its still alot of quarrels... The defence was in a mess. Getting Gavin, Jonathan and Kian Wee in the defence is a big risk. We made it and we survive throughout it. It was pure luck. The opponent hits the post a few times... We are so close to losing... Eugene scored the first, which is quite lucky... He hit the post and the ball went in. Next, it was Jimmy. It was handball from the defender, which was a nice cross from me at the corner... Wow... I can cross... at last!! After that, the last one was by a super-sub, which I dont know who he is... I ran all the way to the flank and past the ball to Jimmy. Jimmy fell and the ball was onto the guy and he just bring it in... Wow... Nice shot...

I have learn a lesson today... If you do like a person, admit it... However, if you admit it and the person was like thinking you are kidding, or giving him or her a big shock, its best that you tell that person, 'OH WELL!! IT'S A JOKE!!! JUST KIDDING!!!' Nice try... I realised that some people dont really like the idea of big 'surprises'. Hope the modern world is not like this everyday. Like me, I'm a noob in this... so, if its me, I will follow that person who say, 'OH WELL!! KIDDING ONLY!!!' That's simple... Haha... Friend, dont be sad... Smile... Life is like that... We have different challenges but it depends on how you conquer it. Maybe its not mend for you to be with her!! Chill dude... Smile... but dont be like me, acting as a noob, an idiot when it comes to this thing... Got it... Haix... Sian... study now... Try to... Hope so... I'm getting lame again... -.-"

By the way, Who watching Community Shield tomorrow?? Message me... Thanks...

Yesterday, I just dont feel like studying. After the Microsoft Access test, I was like being 'owned' by the teacher. Haix... I dont know I can manage a pass or not. I hope so... A 'B' grade please. Haha... Anyway, I'm really stress after the test. During the test, I was so stress that I dont know how to do a single thing. People would think that its so simple for me... NAH!!! Not at all... False alarm. I think I need to study the book... Just look at Andy... Who studies it... He is able to get high marks this time. This shows something. Dont lend your book to others if you have not study.. Being nice is sometimes a disadvantage... hehe... Let's wait for sup. paper.

These days, I'm trying to study but I cant... Haix... That is why I have this energetic feeling to do my own gaming thing instead of doing work. Nice isnt it?! I better make a shedule now and follow it today...

Today: POA!!! Write finish all the notes! No matter what... After that, concentrate on Marketing...

12 Aug: Study Econs... The whole day...

13 Aug: Study Marketing again... (confirm incomplete)


This is for this week... Haix.. stress!!! Play game now... Lol...

When we mention NDP, which means National Day Parade, the first thing that comes into Singaporean's mind is the venue to see amazing fireworks. Otherwise, it would be getting the tickets to go to the NDP. To me, its time to gather with my friends and watch the fireworks. However, it turn out to be the most disappointing one today. Let me tell you what happen today...

I woke up at 12 and started to study at 3... After that, I met the gang; Eugene, Jack, Jonathan, Gavin, Kian Wee, Jimy and Jia Long; at Millenia Walk. I was late since I came out around 5 plus. I went to eat my lunch after I met them. They had eaten so i went to L.J.S. to buy the Combo 1. It turned out to be the worst service I have ever had. I'm not complaining but just saying... That young lady gave me tissue, fork and knife and my drink, without the tray. I was like... 'What the... Dont tell me L.J.S. dont have enough trays? Or what?? Their partner next door, Burger King took them all???" Haha... Anyway, I was not in the big fuse. I went to have my meal and after that, we went straight to the arcade at Marina Square.

As usual, I played ParaParaDance while Jim and the rest watched others play... Haha... Playing ParaParaDance is gay stuff to me. Not because I dont like it. If I dont like it, I wont be playing it. It's that so many peopl would be watching me dancing... and I mean it... Gay Dance... Haha... I got a 'C' grade for the whole thing... I think I should try the Non-stop one... Haha... more fun... After that, we headed to Esplanade to watch the fireworks. Now that's the 'fun' part in this year's NDP. Each year, or should I say almost each year... The fireworks would be display behind the Esplanade. However, this year is different. Probably this is the last time we gonna see the National Stadium?? I dont know... Anyway, the fireworks exploded behind Suntec City... I was like... 'DIAO!!!' we walked to the wrong place at the right time. If we walked to there and watched it, it was too late... The gang was ready to take out their phones to do the photo taking. It turn out to be a wrong idea... Everyone was like... What the... DIAO! DIAO! DIAO! DIAO! DIAO!

After that, we didnt went to play pool, we went back to Sembawang. Everyone wanted to go back home but it turned out to be wrong. The night was still early, that's why... Haha... We exit from the MRT station, we headed to the arcade. We played only a game of punching bag, which means you punch the bag to see your strength. Jonathan was the pro!!! He hit the machine instead of the bag, and he make the record. Very high, higher than what Gavin and I did... Lol.. After that we decided to eat, we headed to 7-11... After awhile, we went to Macdonalds... they changed their mind... After that.. We head to Sembawang shopping centre to have a meal.. Again.. They change their mind... LOL!!! We went to eat prata and overall, it cost $33.90... Alright... 7 people paying this price is good.. Cheap...

After that, home sweet home... By the way, I saw Leonard from Henderson Sec. Only the Band members would know who is he... haha... He's now in S.P., and yeah, as usual, funky!!! Nice chat with him and he's doing fine!!! Tuba people... It seems like we are the luckiest to contact with each other till now... I like this man!!! Haha... Tired... Tomorrow still got lesson!!! WHAT THE!!!! TEST SOME MORE!!! Sian 1/2!!!

Each time we went to the Esplanade during the National Day, the main objective of being there would be watching the fireworks display. Last year, the fireworks were shown at Esplanade but not this year. I dont know why. One main reason for that might be due to the last time we got to see the National Stadium before its going to be renovated? Who knows... Only the government and the officers of the parade knows... Haha

During National Day, I met the gang; Eugene, Gavin, Jonathan, Kian Wee, Jia Long, Jack and Jimmy; at Millenia Walk. I was at home studying (for a while... Lol) since I dont want to spent too much money on arcade. After I had y meal at L.J.S., we went to Marina Square's arcade. While the rest went to walk around the arcade to view the games avaliable, Jimmy started to play the Cop game. Quite crappy... When he lost the game, the ratings of him is that he's intellect is not that good, as well as his luck and skill. His best rating is still his reflexes. Wow!!! Jimmy, you can take over Eugene and Gavin for goalkeeping... Haha... After that, I went to play ParaParaDance. Though its a 'gay' game, I still play it. Mr Jia Long ask me to play with him and in the end, he was the one who dare not play... NOOB... Just a game and he would be embarassed? Come on...

After that, we went to watch the fireworks display. It turned outto be false hopes as it didnt happened. We keep waiting till 8.14pm when we heard a group of people shouting. After that, we look at them and their heads were facing the other side. We turned back and realised that the fireworks were behind. By the way, we were at Marina Square while the fireworks were displayed behind Suntec City. Nice try... In the end, we went back to Sembawang while Jimmy went back home. There wasnt any pool session like last year. Once we reached Sembawang, we went to play some games in the arcade. They actually want to play House of the Dead 4 but it was occupied. So, we decided to play the punching bad machine. Gavin was the first to try and he scored well. After that, it was me... Soon, Jonathan was the man of the moment. He whacked the machine instead of the bag, and got top scorer. What the...!!! Nice try... Maybe he can be the professional 'Mike Tyson' of Singapore... Haha... Dont mess up with him...

After the game, the gang was hungry that we decided to go 7-11 for supper. After we went in, they changed their mind. They decided to go to Macdonalds instead. Alright, they we go and after we sit on the chairs in Macdonalds, Eugene said he dont feel like eating Macdonalds... Lol!! Everyone was like showing the '...' face. We went out and after having a nice discussion, we went to Sembawang Shopping Centre for a prata session. What the... A nice meal of prata with the 7 of us, which cost $33.70. That was a nice meal. We walked back and we were like talking about 'Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift'. Haha... Imagine that the bendy bus or the double-decker takes a drift??!! Wow... Cool... I dont dare to take that bus anymore...

While I went back home, guess what??!! I saw Leonard from Henderson Sec. He was still as cool as before. Haha... Nice one Leonard!!! Wish you good luck in your course. Dont ever give up!! Hehe... Haix... Tired... Stopping here now... Happy National Day...

These days I'm too lazy to blog. It's probably of the exam fever that I'm facing. Low motivation to study... Haha... Well, alot of things happen these days. Alot... Whereever I go, things happen. Some things remains while some, gone and never return. Anyway, I'mm just happy with my life now. Although studies is what I should concentrate, I still have difficulty to concentrate. I need to study as soon as possible... Really... Never mind... I shall try harder. Haha...

Today is NDP in Canberra. The good news is that the Band has improved alot. Serious!! Seeing many of them marching very well, I have this sense of relief. I might be too worries for them. Furthermore, right now, I'm too tired. I have only 3 hours of sleep and I headed to Canberra. I actually have lessons today but I didnt go for the P.O.A. lecture and tutorial. Lazy? Not really. I want to see the Band perform. That's what I want today... To see them perform well, to see them enjoy themselves. Haha... That's the way!!! Band!!! You people did well today.

I just want to make everything short!!! Band, I think that you people did manage to survive the performance. Most of all, you people have found the corage, the confidence that you all have been lacking during the last few rehersals. Sec 1s, you people have did well in the marching, especially the turning. I still think that you people have the potential of marching much better!!! While for the seniors... Good job too... Nice performance!! I like it alot... Haha... Nothing to say,.... Speechless is what I mean...

Haix... Tired... Going back home soon.. AR!!!

These days I have been going back to Canberra to do some 'charitable' work. There is no money issues in it but I just go back do some visiting. The Band... That's what I'm talking about. Whenever I think of th Band and the up-coming NDP, I realised that the Band is not up to the standard of performing. I dont know why I would think such a negative way. It seems like everyone are still in their individual world, especially the Secondary 1s. Although all the Secondary 1s are not playing the music pieces but do the marching, the seniors are. What's worst??!! The seniors are not playing their best. I do see some of them playing their best effort but how about the rest? I really dont wish to see rotten apples in the Band. A rotten apple doesnt mean it will affect the rest. Just cut the part that is rotten and the apple is still edible. There is room for improvement. Seriously!! I hope all the Band members, whether you are new or old, I think all of you can achieve better.

Compared to Wednesday's standard of play to today's, I think today's performance is better. Although I shouted a few times, which is the scary part for some of you, I didnt mean to do that. I wanted to be strict so that you all would wake up. Maybe some of you would think that I'm acting, I'm actually not. It really makes me go mad when I see the Band is underachieving. Not marching properly, not turning at the right time, wrong notes and many many more. If this is what I get from the Band, then I think I have gone to the wrong Band. I always keep things to myself in Band and you people can see that I'm smiling all the time. However, when it comes to serious matters, I think I would be the one to blow up first. Hate me? Like my character? You decide.

After Mdm Tan left Band, we can see that the attendance is going down. When I mean down, it is to the extreme. To me, if Mdm Tan is gone and the teachers' naggings is not good enough, well, I will step up for that. Stand up! Speak up! That's the way I treat the Band in order to make the motivation to go on. I wish that everyone can play your part in the Band. I heard from some people that they feel 'sian' about the Band. I dont know whether it's real anot since I only come back on Fridays. Maybe I would be coming back again. I need to see my shedule when the next semester starts. If my Fridays are occupied, I cant come back anymore. That simple. By that time, I would be the one shouting all the Band members. It will be the Secondary 4s to do that. Rui Xiang, Ridwan, Nadira, Melissa, Yvonne, Chelsea, Fiona and many many more. Please... If I cant make it for Band next semester, do help to ensure that the Band's standards are not dropping. Please...

Today, I see that the Band has the potential to make the impossibe possible. My expectations on the Band is really high. I wanted all correct notes to be played. No screeching to be heard from the clarinets and no wrong movements while marching. This is what my mind is thinking. However, in reality, its hard to maintain that. I was a Band member before. I know that not everything is what you expect! I mean, it not only happen in Band but in my life. I want things in this way but it turn out to be different. That's how my life is... Sounds stupid but true. After explaining my expectations, you know why I'm mad with all of you just now? The marching is atrocious and the music was awful. However, marching is quite alright now. To me, we are not ideal in marching but as Band members, music wise, we must be good. From distance, I cant hear the music clearly. It is sometimes soft, sometimes loud. Its not the exact thing that the music scores want or Mr Lee wants. So, I hope all of you, maybe some of you, who read this blog, can tell your sections to buck up. 2 DAYS to the actual thing (practises) I hope everyone would give your very best in it.

What I say in Band is true. This Band, is really my second home, my family... In the past, Band is like an ordinary CCA but as years go by, I realised that Band mates are my 'kins' and the Mr Lee is the 'Lao Da'(boss) that guide us to success. I admit in front of everyone, saying I'm bad in my music playing, as well as marching. This is why, I wish everyone can be better, better than me. Prove it to me. I dont talk big in front of all of you because I can do better than all of you or play better. Dont believe, you can ask Khuzaima from Tuba section!! I always ask her ridiculous questions on the music scores. She always say, 'Wei Teck!!! You are our senior and you dont know...??!!' Sounds so strange but it's the fact. I dont wish everyone would be like me. Got it?? Band... wake up!!

To be honest, there are some good comments... and bad comments about the Band. People claimed that the Band marching is better than the Boys Brigade... Okay... That's sounds good but on Monday, you people still need to maintain it. Dont be COMPLACENT!!! Now, the bad comment... There's a claim that says that the Band is getting bad to worst... Why bother to help them... To me, when I heard that, the first thing I want to do is to defend for all of you. Like what I said, you people are like my family... However, come to think of it, I can dont give a hack about the Band but I dont do that. So, dont ever give up! I didnt give up on you people so you cant give up on the Band, on me and the teachers... especially Mr Lee.. Got it?? Hope all of you understand... haix... I hope...

Before I end here... Reminder to the Band people... Listen up!!! Please follow the things below...

- Eat a light lunch before practise... (at least eat something... No skipping of meals these days!!)

- Drink plenty of water. (Stupid weather... Giving us headaches on your health...)

- Gals (Tie your hair neatly... I see people's hair flying all over... What the...)

- Dont move about when you are standing straight... (So many movements??? aiyo!!!)

- Have more confidence in yourself... (Like that you can blow better!!! March better.. With pride!!)

- No talking or looking around while in position. (You think you are at coffeeshop??!!)

- Look at the conductor at all times... Not the performance. (Especially wet weather programmes... See can see lah... but if cant, dont!!!)

- Posture!! Stand Straight!! Hold instruments in the correct way.

- Whatever happens... no laughing!!! Got it??? (Even if Mr Tan fell down while walking in the parade...)

- Mind your partner... Follow them if he or she turns... (Marching wise...)
