Psycho Indians, Dances & Tests...

Dancing. now i hv a new dance to dance to. very brief, but tts because its at a frantic pace. but i think i can do it. onli worry now is tt i don panic when shoved centre-stage. can already feel the panic growing in me.

~compliance got me here.
~arrogance kept me here.
~sheer willpower will get me out of here.

up-down-ultraman

up-down-netplay

up-down-peeling apples

This is an example of stuff we use to rmb the steps. but each up n each down is 1 beat each. so imagine that la..

i think the names the guys come up with to rmb the moves are fantastic(ally funny). come to papa... n everyone can associate with it. come to papa... i think it'll be fantastic to watch the whole dance. but dances are all like that. the true beauty comes from a 3rd person's point of view. (if tt 3rd person is not hornily staring, captivated, enthralled, at one particular person in the group, that is). but tts jus a side comment - no implications on any real situations. hehex...

N the advertisement on TV now is abt "unmanageable hair". what coincidence.

probably half the world (more likely abt 6billion of the world) wld prob not understand tt coincidence, but unmanageable hair is a direct reference to chitra. (for the benefit of the 5.999... pple who still dont noe who chitra is,.. good for u) hahahaha... [duh she's some girl who's a damn pro dancer] [n unmanageable hair.] okay this is getting spastic. drop the subject.

i came across some guy who wrote sum nonsense on a white board. he could spell celibacy n some other fantastic word which i oso donno, but he couldnt spell anoynomous. (for the benefit of those pentium 1-3 series out there, actual spelling is anonymous)

i mean. anoynomous is probably a word i'd use to describe my brother when he's talking to me abt badminton when im trying to study. anoynomous is also probably i would use when Luis Garcia loses the ball in midfield for the tenth time in as many minutes in a game against West Brom, or Southampton for that matter. THAT is annoying.

Also, convienence. no comment. (read above, my comment would be similar)

i'm not saying im faultless, definitely if u cant find any mistake in this blog, be them grammatical errors, or speling errors, i'd slap myself. note that in the previous statement, i have already taken measures to spare my face from the humiliation of the self-inflicted wager-slap. boo-hoo...

Theres this one comedian, an indian guy, russel peters, or smthg to that like. super funny. couldnt stop laughing. as gobi says, "confirm go to hell one". (karthik looked really spastic laughing at it, cos he was listening to the guy through earphones, so it seemed that he was jus randomly laughing to himself. jus picture it.)

Anw, pple often listen to those who 'confirm go to hell one.' its human nature.

Disclaimer: im not saying all leaders will go to hell..

perhaps its like smthg like tt stoopid psychometric test today. 4 blardy hours, n i m finally thankful its over. no matter wat i score. the maths part was freaky fast, n it was more comprehension that maths. i mean, no algebra, no trigo, no stats, no mechanics. no wonder us FM pupils found it tough. (boring to be more precise).

n duh, we FM pupils couldnt do the verbal part, to a large extent. no need to say. actually to be honest, i completed the verbal section with like 4 min to spare, but well, it was tough, so i oughtnt be pleased with myself for that. half the things are soooo like between [cant tell] and [no] . sheesh. why they hv to make it so hard i'd nvr noe. i mean, we're not THAT smart.

on this subject, i don understand the reason for having exams so tough. to find the top students? we already KNOW who's the top student(s). the teachers already KNOW who their top students are. no names mentioned. perhaps onli reason is to challenge pple. bah... no comment.

reconsidering... okay maybe one comment. shld jus let those who lurve the challenge, challenge themselves. heex..

okay i think im jus writing on nonsense. duh no sch wld ever accept this method of examination. its not erm... democratic. or rather meritocratic, if there's such a word. else i coin it.

so lets jus be happy with what we have. hee haa jolly well haa..

okay tired. tmr got dance practice again. its a once-in-a-lifetime thing. so i'd better be happy abt it. heex.. okay aufwiedersehen~

Sunday Pi

Today is Sunday. i have to keep reminding myself that, cos i keep forgetting. after all, it feels like a monday. perhaps because yesterday felt like a sunday. n tt wld be because saturday felt like a friday. because friday was a half day. yeah, tt we all noe.

Anw, for a sunday, it was an odd sunday. no badminton in the morning. and i think if i count the number of times the word 'badminton' appears in my blog, i'd really shock myself. honestly. got too much badminton, complain. got no badminton, oso complain. qi-lah-kah...

hahaha.. mr goh is funny anw. but he's a nice guy, contrary to popular folklore. from his f-l-c-k services, to his clown-idiot duality. now i'd kinda miss it larhz..

~.~

so i slept in today. really in. like up to 10.15 am (compared to 6.30am on normal sundays). but i was supposed to spend an additional 1 hr in church. but i didnt... woopsie..

I was supposed to do tonnes of work today. i.e. the whole of statistics revision. yup, u guessed it right. i didnt do it. but i did do some GP essay.. completed it at least, so its good enough. but now later tonite must cheong maths again.. haaha.. but must do my exercise too. though i think i'm very likely to hang up my racquet, somehow badminton energy has disappeared.

now i noe where my excess mass came from. "E=mc2". true. u gain mass, u jus lose energy to do work or exercise. einsteins mass-energy relation in practice.. Hahaha!

~.~

In any case, i hv practices for ics dances soon. goodness knows when though. anw tmr i hv sch, n i suspect that the practice wld be tmr. so i'll msg those in charge whom i noe the no. of, n ask. otherwise, perhaps they jus donno my no. and lazy to find out. sheesh, its onli 20,000,000 possiblities right? maybe a bit less. i donno if a no. can comprise too many 9's... in strategic locations that is...
no dont interpret that wrongly, not bothering to hantam-buta 20 million numbers is wise, not inconsiderate..

i think the upcoming week is soo busy man. lessons in sch, psycho tests, cheers open support (always count on a victorian to be cheering), n of course ics nite. leavign jus thursday open. n we havent even included ics dance practices in that schedule. looks like a fascinating week coming up.

~.~

OHHH so much maths homework! Really a Sundae P

Showdowns. And Slowdowns.

VJ finally got its second title - hockey girls - but i think greater applaud goes out to the hockey guys. A div finals for guys hockey was the most exciting match i've ever seen. recently, at least. but ultimately rj were the better team - i mean on paper its quite impressive: 2 nat'ls, 5 combined sch's, rest club players. whu reli could ask for more?

But its fantastic to watch the game, n fantastic atmosphere, with all the cheering, even after they scored the 2nd goal tt by right sealed our fate. anw, great game.


Onto another Great Game. I bet most readers might already hv guessed what game i am referring to. frankly i didnt actually catch the game, but well, the scoreline (and goal-times) make it sound like probably the greatest finals since ManUtd's famous victory against Bayern Munchen abt 5 yrs ago. Well surely u have alredi guessed wat im talking abt...

Liverpool Are The New Champions of Europe!

Underdogs, unseeded. shows that anything is possible. n nvr to lose hope. even if ur 3-0 down at half-time against a famously impregnable defence of legendary players.

There always can be miracles. When u believe.

Anw the feeling was an uplifting one, n after the low of wednesday's defeat at the hands of Meridian JC, i was feeling high bcos of the champions' league final. and the hockey finals. oh wells.

N i still went for MJ choir. but it rocked. Congrats MJ choir! (and TKSS choir). AND of course, Marie! hahaha... great performance.. ;)

Special AnNouncement!

I'm dancing for ICS night. i think. so guys, appeal to u! come watch me!!!! hahahahaz~ I mean, have u EVER seen me dance before? especially an INDIAN dance? hahaha... gotta be fascinating. i'll do my best n try not to screw up hor...

(for tickets jus tag me, i'll try to let u noe.. tic prices are going for a very affordable price of ONLY eight dollars and zero cents. 8.00 only. Checks, Credit Cards, Nets payment not accepted.)

~.~

I jus saw some AndSS publicity thing. i think they shld call in some i-comp pple from vj to help them next time, cos i donno if it'll hv the pulling capacity. but listening to the background music (the andss school song) n watching the videos do bring me on a little ride down memory lane.
more accurately Memory St 53.

And i thought it was quite amusing - esp the part where they featured the andss badminton team (complete with its 6 shuttles per training, with altogether 4 teams, and 2-3 courts) and the caption was "with the right equipment, and best facilities." Irony. (Fe)y.

In any case, advertisments, no matter for what purpose, or what mode, rarely tell whole truths. they rarely tell whole lies either, cos duh, tt will get them into deep sh- erm... trouble. Children might be reading this.

TAlking abt reading - i'm finally reading my first fiction book of 2005. probably more accurately its first fictional book since mid-2004, but no one need noe that.

The Teenage Workbook, by Adrian Lim. Great read. though honestly i think the prequel, the Teenage TEXTbook, is marginally better.

i've worked up a training schedule for myself. soon, u'd see marine parade winning the inter-con, thanks to a "certain-point" doubles pair? heex.. dreamz... maybe i could even don nat'l colours, but perhaps thats reli hoping too far. but one thing i can realistically hope for is -

probably a body I, for one, can be proud of.

which, knowing me, even if i had, i wld conceal from view. hahaha....

oh and i forgot fitness. NAPFA 30pts. coming soon. muahahaah... SAFSA team, coming soon. yeah right...

ANd i hv to mug super hard. sumhow i'm determined on the much hoped for - perfect score. not exactly 100% in everything kinda perfect score. more like the 4As, 2 distincition, A1 for GP kinda perfect score. If liverpool can win the Champions' League, i can score that score.

Wait liverpool DID win the Champions' League right? *pinch me...*

but anw, Cheers to VJ. Cheers to Liverpool.

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark.

At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,

Walk on through the rain,

Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,

You'll never, ever walk alone.

Finals

Its coincidence when two finals in which u have vested interests occur on the same day. 'A' division soccer finals, as well as Champions' League Finals. Is it an omen that VJ lost? :'(. so sad..

If Liverpool lose, i really probably wont even feel like getting out of bed. If Liverpool win, perhaps there is truth to the saying that every cloud has a silver lining...

Hai..

Good luck liverpool. Good luck me.

cant talk abt the soccer final. too upsetting.

Why, VJ?

HecTic Day

Title says enough.. i actually wanted to watch "revenge of the sith" today. Instead i watched "revenge of the sloth". sorta.. fell asleep in the library. knocked-out-cold. so ultimately missed out on the opportunity to watch that star wars episode III. well, i still wait in earnest. perhaps tmr is a sunshinier day.

ms wong let us off early today. very early. so i met sum1 whu nvr shares a break with us. quite a shocker, but, well, think abt this.

Assuming X has an affinity for Y. but $ no interval : X u Y " t. Then X u Y cannot exist. oh well....

procastination is a powerful inhibitor to work. duh. n im overwhelmed by the spirit of procastination. why?

1. Holidays coming soon
2. Can study during holidays. (yeah right...)
3. Can sense the coming of half days and/or full days.
4. So can teachers.
5. The onli two normal tutorials today were not really serious, i think.
6. GP is not normal, and its not a tutorial. cos the defn of tutorial is where we learn, not where we sleep.
7. Backlash was on monday, so i slept at 2am, and im still tired.
8. The prospect of work is demoralising.
9. Physics syllabus is complete.
10. Ten reasons are good enough an explanation

so due the the joyous spirit of procastination, here i am, bloggin my life away.

on that note, i think i hvnt made a clear impact in VJ. question of course, is if there is a reason to? leave a mark on VJ, not similar to the ball-mark i left at st gabs...

~innocent eyes~

What are the stuff legends are made of?

I'm always torn between two minds - one to show all my cards, accolades, stuff that could impress; n the other to hide those very things till someone chances upon them by themselves. but i doubt i need hide these stuff from my closest friends? or myself for that matter. that last statement, by the way, suggests i actually forget a lot of stuff i might hv achieved. weird... anw, i always look to the future, n i think tts the best policy. no point dwelling in the past unless u hv a way of making that stay.

I've learnt smthg abt myself. i.e. the way i study. its so erm... mathematically rhythmic. i jus subconsciously formulate patterns that have to be followed, n then use these patterns to reformulate new patterns, n thus hv an artillery of patterns that can be applied to solving problems. which would explain why i cant learn too many languages at the same time.

i do hv a tendency of mixing these patterns.
in maths its okay,
in language, i neednt say.
its great with music though,
it creates a natural flow.

i hate lit.

okay i ought to go already.

~May the Force be with You.~

Worked Up

Well, its been an eventful few days.. cos its been a long weekend. with loads of concerts to go for. namely aj co n band on sunday, and vj harmonica on saturday, so its been a weekend without much rest honestly.

until i napped away this afternoon, that is.

but workwise, its piling. namely statistics. stastically speaking, on the average, im behind in two different subjects, ahead in one (not anymore though) and barely making it in the other. loads of work to do. n i thought i had three days to do it. methinks that time has been slightly shortened now. by a factor of around 24. 3 hrs.

maybe im exaggerating. perhaps its a factor of 12, to 6hrs, which wld be perhaps the time to i slp. but of course, each minute i sit here blogging, that factor just rises. yup still rising.

oh anw, i don feel like doing anthg now honestly. mb i'll get the inspiration soon. i can after all, call up inspiration if i reli need it. though its sort of wasting my 'force energy'. hahaha...

im watching episode III on wednesday. or tuesday. today wanted to go, but i think a little too ex. i mean, nowadays its reli not worth gg to cinema and watching movies... wonder how rising ticket prices will hinder movie piracy. like MnO2 hinders hydrogen peroxide's decomposition.

a little chemistry goes a long way...

everybody noes that.

~.~

The 16PF report is confidential. otherwise i'd hv loads more to blog about.

But its okay for MY report rite? haha.. i think it was pretty accurate. n i always knew 90% of the things. i think the stuff i scored highest in, theyre quite negative. eg. apprehension, tension.

i.e. im a nervous wreck.

u think so?

i think so. whu noes, i might end up a dumber version of john nash.

i doubt.

but tt doesnt mean that i still wont end up schizo like him. =D. haha...

they showed "A BEAUTIFUL MIND" on sunday. too bad i didnt catch it. watching sum china opera music. no comment.

but i still admire those guys. i cld nvr play as well as that. so congrats chunmin n jz! great job. esp jz and his onstage antics.

for those who didnt buy tics from him, too bad. i shant elaborate.

FA Cup Finals.

For those who dont know, Arsenal won the FA Cup. or rather Jens Lehmann did. so much as i despise Man Utd, i can feel a note of compassion for its supporters. they deserved to win. My dad's always willed to call ManUtd undeserving, but unfortunately nvr got to. So the FA Cup final is an eye-opener.

ManUtd are Undeserving, Losers.

haha... i've always wanted to call ManUtd losers too..

Of course i wldnt say tt if ManUtd had lost to my Liverpool in the final. In tt case, it wld be tt Liverpool had managed to hold ManUtd at bay, n den performed when it mattered. haha..

Anw, talking abt Liverpool, Champions League Final soon. Liverpool v. ACMilan. exciting.

Okay now time to go study. Really late. i think the jus-now-the-mentioned factor is now 24. its already 9pm. dratz...

P.S. i hvnt been blogging all this time, i was reading abt the pilot pen cup this year. quite n interesting read.

okay ciaoz...

Seduction by the Dark Side

This is not a scenario peculiar to anakin skywalker. in my opinion it applies to many of us. let me explain.

Firstly let me point out that the Star Wars series has many more lessons and meanings and connections to the real world that it cares to reveal. the other connections, i shall not refer to here, or else perhaps there would be to omuch to blog here.

After all, i hvnt blogged in ageees. n so much stuff to write.

anw, as i was saying:
i think the "good" or "right" thing to do ALWAYS seems boring. there often is this tendency to LIKE to do the "wrong" thing. i liken this to anakin's addiction to the darkside. n jus as he continued to be glad abusing the power, n being a dark jedi, most of us continue to do the wrong thing, because its fun, n seems much more fullfilling.

But, as ani found out in the end, pls cover ur ears, whuever hasnt watched episode VI, or rather skip this paragraph...

- ani discovered finally that the good side alway IS, after all, more fullfilling. n aptly threw sum idiot down the chute.

anw, the pt is, sooner or later, we shld relise that wat seems fullfilling often is not. n vice-versa.

weird perception? haha.. okay. whatever...

anw, finally today i got to play soccer, yayness. cos season over ma.. n now its a long weekend, so can rest... n i scored quite a no. of goals, n scoring goals is a nice feeling. bah, jus now had so much to say... soon write again la.. haa ciaozz..

Friday 13th

Normally im superstitious, honestly. but this friday 13 wasnt too bad. in fact, it was quite a good friday the 13th.

random point: we started mechanics chapter 13 today.

anw, more on todays events later. cos i hvnt blogged in a week, n it seems so much longer than that, cos there seems to have been so many things happening this week.

well for one, it was tournament week, n vj crashed out at the expense of CJC. well, not unexpected lar, but disappointing. probably more disappointing for MJ though, cos even though they got the pleasure of thrashing us 5-0 afterwards, we dragged them out with us. n they've got a good team.

anw, i played singles against mj. n rumour has it the guy i played with actually slightly frightened quite a good player before me. so not much shame. i dont think i can ask for more, except for the honour of not being given under-5 in both sets (it was 15-4, 15-4) but okay lar.
note: i havent played a singles match in competition since sec 1. n then it was pretty much play play one.

on a brighter note, im free from badminton commitments already, and im ready to embrace it as a game rather than a sport. willingly.

today i realised that if i go on a scholarship, i hv no control over what i become in my future, even though i probably hv control over what company i would work for, or what course i'll take in Uni. meaning, i could study engineering for 5 years, onli to undertake a profession that doesnt have ANYTHING to do with engineering.

having second thoughts abt even trying for a scholarship.

oh i got interesting programmes on my com already, can design websites! namely gps website. if colin djpang doesnt manage to complete his, i mean.

missed a lot of lessons this past few weeks. must catch up.

okay so finally on to today!
AndSS had a holiday today because of various achievements. congrats to all andersonians. so that left my fave niece joy joy bored at home. haha... so i made the poor girl come all the way down to parkway parade (sorry!) and jalan-jalan. walk-walk. not to mention eat, duh. i skipped half of physics S, cos well,

• a) i couldnt understand anythg
• b) i was too tired and lazy to understand anythg
• c) hadnt really planned to even attend the lecture.

anw i went till 3pm. so more than half of the lecture.

i made joyjoy a bad girl. brought her to a POOL place. haha... classic. well, everyone has to hv that experience, rite? den went all the way back to bishan, where i was engulfed by the omnipresent Rafflesian atmosphere. smthg like that victorian atmosphere you might experience in Marine Parade, or Parkway for that matter.

Anw i had fun throwing cynical glances at innocent passing-by rafflesians, jus for fun of it. of course they didnt see la. i guess seeing rafflesians is a rarity, esp since i chose not to go to that sch, (altho its now 10mins away from home, drats).

Its friendly rivalry i guess, nothing more. and i saw a few scholar-friends of joy's. u might hv thought i hv had enough of scholars, being in a typical scholar class, but m'sian scholars
(except YTH) count as singaporeans. haha... anywayz joy went out with one of them, jingzhi (not ngiam) n lived happily ever after. as far as i noe la. haha...

Overall Friday 13th turned out to be quite fun. n its even more pleasant knowing that well.

I can sleep in Tomorrow!!!!

no badminton u see. haha... n no pe. haha...

Badminton. and MORE Badminton. And a little soccer & basketball too.

It was a reli amusing training today. i spent longer time playing basketball n soccer n running arnd in the basketball court than i did playing badminton. and all this during the badminton training itself. well at least its some way of spending my time, instead of sleeping on the floor or stage, or staring blankly into space, or watching pple play (already saturated with what i can already learn from them...)

But seriously, for the sake of VJ, im glad lar.. its more impt the 'key' players are trained. n even more impt that they perform, especially since we share the worst luck among the four schools that are below RJ in our group.

Meridian, Catholic, HwaChong and Victoria.

Common? in the sense tt we're all below RJ in that group. definitely by right MJ is the strongest. But they lost to CJ. its reli scary when the so-termed 3rd place team (MJ) can fight to 2-3 with RJ.

And even HCI, despite being prolly the bottom in the group, (after they lost to VJ so unluckily), prolly will qualify for the quarters if they had had the slight bit of luck NOT to be drawn in our group. i.e. by my seeding at least, schs tt shld be seeded 1,4,5,6,7 form one group. luck of the draw i guess...

or severe lack of it.

Anw, we beat HCI by the narrowest of margins, tho perhaps it shld hv been wider. we lost 2 matches we shld hv won, and won 1 we shld hv lost. odd. tt reli nvr happened back in andss. but then, i think it was a tad less competitive.

enough abt badminton lar. my tournament n involvement in badminton, at least for this year, is quite likely to end soon.
tho i hope not...

okay i thik i shld sleep already

tmr got badminton (fun) early on.. heex

ciaoz~~
