OMG. It's sunday ALREADY!!! haiyohhhhh... so fast! saturday didnt even exist lor. plus i was so tired. both friday night n saturday night i stayed up sooo late (worthwhile joyful cause) chatting. hurhur.. n tt took its toll this morning. thank goodness SFX has evening mass. cos i woke up onli at 12.30 =X.

yup. missed breakfast. oh well...

but mrteo's tutorial remains undone. n i think i'll chiong it later, after going offline. which means i wont write email until next week.. write email no fun, at least now. sumhow i might be slipping off a joyful mood that was aptly sorta induced by joy. haha.. how apt. anw, circumstances hv it quite mean, but i oughtnt complain - there's always sumbody worse off than me, to whom my complaints are practically pointless. yep.

but in any case, i will resort to 'the dark side' soon i think. for the better of the future.

anywae, lemme elaborate on yesterday!...

see hor, it was suchhhhhhh an eventful day. first of all i was awoken abruptly - for careers fair. i was surprisingly content to go, i donno why. anyway, truth be told, it was quite enlightening. i think now i onli hv two choices. engineering with either pub or singpower hopefully, or join the much-idolised-by-me-and-legendary prof. helmer aslaksen. respect...

he was THERE!!! at VJC!!! and i talked to him!! omgomgomg.. its like walking straight into michael owen or smthg.. woww

the full story of how i noe him and how he came to inspire me is a bit long n perhaps doesnt warrant to be put on a blog. if u, for any absurd reason, are interested to noe this story, jus appoach me. hehex..

anw to cut that long story short - very short - i attended one of his lectures on sum astronomical science. respect...

Helmer Aslaksen

anyway, i could do an academics degree in mathematics. pure mathematics. yummie.... haha..

any case, doesnt matter much now anywayz.. work hard later. soon. fine...

then after that i had a GPS meeting (yes, fine, i'm in it alright?), so i couldnt go out. so i was happily talking with joy - she was apparently distressed. n well, i sorta can understand how she feels, and was not reli busy.. yup.. PLUS i didnt hv any msges. so talk lor.. haha

twas fun. i promised to sing praises of joy here - mb not just yet lah. haha.. its quite easy anyway. haha..

oke, den after meeting i come home right, n then i suddenly am brought into the realisation that i hv a bdae party to attend. whoopidoo. yikes.. den we get home onli at 12. and even then i chat online. haha... till 2. so THATS why i'm going for evening mass today =P.

anw, careers fair helped me decide. sorta. at least narrow down the possibilities. ambition is not my greatest gift. so i think i'll be gg for the bland engineering (mechanical, material, or electrical) course, and then become an engineer for a while. n then manager, n then hopefully happy happy till the sack me lah.. (which is eventual, seeing how easily pple get sacked/retrenched nowadays) so we's hv to be be dynamic n adaptible. maybe teaching? i donno..

or another alternative wld be to pursue an academic degree in my beloved mathematics - or mechanics - n then work as hard as possible to get as far as possible. mb masters? or, dreaming further, doctorate? well dreams lahz. it definitely wld be more fun i think. engineering sounds bland u noe..

bleh, depend on my moodswing.
hahaha

okay stats is calling me to finish her off. haha.. byez~

cheers~ n peace.

New Template

Nice? quite classic i think... sumhow. in tandem with SDD. Classic. Haha...

N i'll update whatever happened today, tomorrow. too little time right now. all de time spent changing the template cos i was reluctant to do work. bleah..

cheers~ n peace.

College DAY

Contrary to popular belief, college day - VJC's annual celebration of itself - was a great day and very fun day for those who knew how to spend it. of course, there were some smart ones in the PT, where all had to be silent and revere the Minister for Education who was the guest-of-honour. but of course, hopefully he'd nvr see what was really going down, in the hall.. hahaha...

i think a riot would hv been more peaceful. man... i saw pple playing cards, listening to music, and even playing catching. yup. playing CATCHING. or at least they were running up n down lar..

i pointed this out to some pple n they immediately assumed its IP kids. and then i came to the sudden realisation that we, the JC2 students of VJC, are the most childish people in the whole school. (of course with a few exceptions who are exceedingly mature - santosh, to name one).

bobbie, watch your drool, i think i see it spilling. hurhur...

nah i'm jus kidding.. don wanna be responsible for any nasty rumours...

Anyways, we J2s are the most immature of VJ students. n i'm proud of it. hahaha... we embrace our youth.

be proud.

okay whatever.. i was sitting at the back of the hall next to the banging door with bobbie n shariffAH n sum1 i wasnt introduced to - hmph - listening to noise.. oops sorry metal music. n chatting all away with bobbie who was half drunk i think. at least in a stupor.. hehe... and i joined in one game of bridge, with rifdi n jz, in place of some girl called... erm... lemme try to rmb.. jane? i not sure.. jus onli found out her name.. haha.

okay then they didnt hv friendship dance. EVERYTIME i find sum1 to dance with, there's no frienship dance. n everytime there is a friendship dance, i end up either dancing with a guy laughing my head off - its fun - or standing outside n watching girls dance with other girls. oh whatever..

idiot sc.

anw i forgot how to dance all the dances man.. i think next yr must come back for orientation n re learn.. hurhur.. if onli i can get pple to come back with me.. hmmm... hahaha..

or mb i'll be too lazy.

eek tmr got career fair. why? cant we all just be shepherds n tend our flocks? shepherds of men is fine too.. its our destiny.

somehow the message in church that day - tt its our destiny to join our Father in heaven at his right hand. still rings in my head. quite cool. like smthg our of Star Wars or smthg.

Fulfill your destiny and join me.

except its God talking n not the evil emperor. so we ought to join him. heex.. but well, still so few pple are actually even attempting to fulfill their destiny. oh well.. pls be good pple. hahaha..

okay tired arledi - tmr careers fair. lazy to go lah. but must
heex..

okay

cheers~ n peace.

Guess who's back~

Atchoo.. yes.. i'm reli reli sick. actually, technically i'm not sick. no fever. but tt doesnt stop me from coughing n sneezing n leaking n head-aching n stomach-aching n soo on.. n feeling as though i might hv gotten the full blast of a biological warhead.

though in reality had i been hit with that, i wouldnt be here telling the tale innit?..

jus so apt, that i've to end one week n a half of psychological psychological misery, with half a week of physical misery =(. ouch.. yes i know it hurts. but well good points are that i missed sch (temporary joy) and tt my psychological misery can take a back seat. this, hopefully permanently. though its not as bad as i thought it might be.

i went reading my archives again, to post feb last year.. n i relise i actually quoted a verse from the Bible abt trust in the Lord. perhaps, i've just failed to understand when destiny is screaming into my ear. well now, welcome back, mr practical.

Practicality is an art. bish bash what movies portray. that's not life, its script. exaggerations n lies is what they portray on films. yucks.. like we ask ourselves. "WHY does it seem so easy on screen? WHY is there always a happy ending?" and so on...

Then, i have to bring in what by brother wld say as to.. for example "how did randy orton manage to R.K.O the dead man?"

"Because Vince MacMahon said so, of course"

yes, of course.... he's the script writer.

N in our lives, there's no script writer. true God sees and knows everything, n He can control what happens. but He doesnt. (out of love).

The news Today got smthg interesting abt wat prompts terrorism. no. i dont condone it - i think its kinda dumb. but the author got some interesting insights...

bah anw...

MR Practical is back in da house...

cheers~ n peace.

busy busy...

its so weird tt sum songs jus sooo accurately portray your exact feelings n emotions. and only temporarily. few months ago,

tt song was Breakaway, by kelly clarkson.

then it became A Thousand Miles, by vanessa carlton.

Then for a short while, it went back to I'm With You, by avril lavigne.

N its settled back with kelly clarkson's Behind These Hazel Eyes. curious..

~.~

i wonder how many pple still think this blog is still at bakteesud.blogspot.com... and somehow that website still exists although all the blog entries have been transferred here. weird..

and the tagboard there is the same as this one - meaning its still active.. wicked..

~.~

Oh its a curious time to be online innit? btw its like 9.15am right now... i should be playing badminton. or i should be studying. well, i ponned badminton, no mood. n i'm not studying, no mood. moody person amnt i?
heex...

And i'm in the mood to go out! i want... anybody? didnt think so. plus i dont think i'm allowed to. bleah.. mommy surely will hv smthg to say abt that... she need onli say one word "statistics?".. oOo.. n i'll start feeling ALL guilty again.. sheesh..


did i mention? i finished mechanics.. wooohooo!!!
on my board its now written

In Memory of Mechanics... Jan-July 2005

now i wonder what i need rmb her (mechanics) for..

oh yes - she helped me pass my f-maths. yep.. ever grateful. so that sign stays..

Anw, now i must vanquish the enemy statistics. i do wish they hv a few more tests for us. my performance at statistics for the mid year is reli scary u noe.. i hope i brush up a fair bit. what went wrong for mid year - the exponential. i underestimated its sting. n the hypothesis testing. i forgot the presentation. really wrote crap innit? haha.. different story.

n i'm still wasting my time online. evading stats. eek..

ooh yes i knew i forgot smthg! i took part in some essay writing competition a few months ago, n it turns out i won second place.

pause for effect.

yet somehow i'm not proud of it, perhaps even shamed to tell pple. why? bcos i got 25/50 for GP essay. i mean.. exactly HOW subjective IS this crap??? possible explanations...

1. this was marked by more lenient pple.

2. this was marked by former vj students.

3. God helped me. (quite probable).

4. maybe i convinced some of the pple. (hopefully)

5. this had more choices abt a topic i can talk well on.

lets elaborate on the last point - topics of choice:

1. Religion
2. Religion
3. Religion
4. Religion
5. Yup u guessed it right. Religion.

Then it occured to me -

duhhhh! its the NUS Hindu society? n then, wait, i'm not hindu... woopsie..

jus occured to me: maybe i actually won smthg cos they dont wanna make it look religiousist? nah... haha.. i made no such mention of my religion. i think.. haha..

besides, maybe i'm second out of three? haha.. tt wld be reli amusing. cos i'm not sure anyway how many pple were there writing. it might even be second out of two. man...

well at least its not second out of one. hurhur.. i hope.. hehex...

okay.. i think i hear mr teo yelling. (the future i sense...) like yoda, he's good at sensing the future. its not too hard. i can sense it too. if i dont do my stats, mr teo will start yelling. oOo.. am i smart or jus strong in the Force.

jus occured to me:

it wld be reli cute if i had answered the religion question likeso:

The Force is an allpowerful energy that binds the universe together. There's two parts - the light side n the darkside. and the reason why (as the question asked) theres so much hate in the world, is because people abuse the darkside, by choice, and fail to acknowledge to power of the Force. Thus...

and so on... wonder if they'd hv given me the fourth place out of three, or fifth place out of four, whatever, if i'd written that. but its good for a erm.. laugh.. hehex..

okay stats beckons, as i said jus now.

cheers~ n peace!

The Missing Entity

Phantom, i was at school today. missed me? i doubt. haha... pays to be quiet.

But im so much more regenerated! that day of waking up at 9 did wonders. n guess what? tmr's another one of those days!! yipeee~..

n fish, if u read this, Where were u??? so upset!!!! heex... =P..

anw, doesnt matter.. much.. i'm not too perturbed. after all, its been such a great day!

n i finished mechanics 14. yep, which means, (since 15 is like sooo short, n i can do it soon), i've finished off all my mechanics tutorials by today~ yipeee! still hv to wrestle stats. tmr, ya.. n gg to meet naf tmr, after my GP remedial wid pops.. heex.. (my grandpa).

my sister's soo quiet nowadays. if onli everyday were a harry-potter-reading-day. ah what bliss.. the power of silence. tts wat that guy from GIC said - the power of silence.

when the teacher is talking. lets make it a GP teacher, so that its loads more believable. half the class is droning away. (the other half didnt even bother toshow up). and suddenly the teacher stops talking. n then the droning half suddenly gets woken up, n start to hv pretended to hear everything the teacher said. n all the teacher did was shut up. n we started to listen to what he was saying. proves one thing - give the students what they want (silence), and we'll give you what you want (attention). =P..

yep, students, stop hoping. n teachers, i'm kidding.

the power of silence.







yep.

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

kellyclarkson. behind these hazel eyes.

lovely song. yep. goodnight.

cheers~ ... n peace.

IHATEGP

I'd longed to get my hands on tt book - HBP of course - for a long time... ever since carol msged me from down under arousing my curiousity. its scary man, de book - but great read. go read!

i wont deny tt the temptation has flickered past my mind to spoil the story for those who didnt read by blabbing abt it here. *grins mischieviously*. but i'm a nice guy. hurhur.. don read the next para if u dont want to whet your appetite.

to those who hv read it, i hv one burning thing to point out. yoda, gandalf, n aslan (though prob hardly any1 wld hv heard abt the latter). similar fates. yikes.. writers are always so sadistic. the disappointment is setting in. replacing the shock. but i'm already formulating what book 7 wld be abt. see la...

okay u can start reading now.

IHATEGENERALPAPERIHATEGENERALPAPERIHATEGENERALPAPERIHATEGENER
ALPAPERIHATEGENERALPAPER...

i scribbled that all over my GP common test paper. yep u guessed it - i screwed it up realli badly. well not as badly as i could have lar, but still very disappointing. i reli ought to try to think more maturely perhaps. think i aint that mature in thought. ya wat.. me still young; still 17!!

IHATEGENERALPAPERIHATEGENERALPAPERIHATEGENERALPAPER

N its been jus a very bad day today - loads of things gone wrong - jus a tad of felix whatever pls.. at least now got reminiscing on harry potter to distract me from ALL the things that went wrong this week. my mind's been turned completely upside down.

here i dont intend to boast, pls don interpret it thus. jealousy is a feeling i dont often feel. envy? perhaps rarely. but jealously, hardly ever. i mean, i've always been jus content with my life. but now... suddenly i'm getting jealous of pple - n i hate that feeling. its wrong. tts jus one of the problems la.

another is that i'm feeling jus so useless. kancy asked us to write whatever THINGS we hv done in our JC life. i thought. n thought. n thought. n reli theres nothing worth mentioning. n it jus makes me wonder if i've jus wasted away my whole two years here - might as well hv done the smart thing n leave the bloody system. wasted. no achievements, no nothing. pls don reprimand me for lamenting - you nvr noe a man's burden by sight alone.

i want to take a break from school. the self-declared 6-period break today isnt enough to replenish my mind to its usual sanity. i need to clarify things. mind-heart-body.

equilibrium imbalance; le chatelier's principle sets in

you go thru every week learning smthg new abt urself, else the week's not worth it. perhaps. anw, i jus realised i'm reli the sort who dissolves under tension. (a GP passage warned me not to use the word stress too loosely, hence i avoid it). i'm in such a state..

D-Day tmr. in this case, deliverance/doom doesnt matter. its both.

It’s a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won’t you take me by the hand?

Take me somewhere new

I don’t know who you are

But I, I’m with you,

I’m with you, mmm

-avril lavigne. i'm with you.

Ultimatum - Goodbye.

You're either in or you're out,

Please stop torturing me;

I'm already fed up,

I'm sorry.

Sorrie

okay i'm back to normal again

thx mia n dia (yep, coincidence) for listening to me, n all da s'goon badminton pple n maan for distracting me. n most imptly thank God for healing me.

y'all deserve cookies, heex, if i can get hold of sum, tt is. anw, for those who dont noe wat caused me to lose normality, (if there's such a word), y'all neednt find out. its over, i shld think.

mi mom thinks ushnish de drove to mi house - apparently he looks old enough to. granted. she did get quite worried when she saw de big guy show up at the front gate n yell "hurry up la" impatiently. guess she must hv thought i'm messed up with some india mafia. not a nice thought.

anw, i spent mi whole afternoon asleep - n den a bit of studying - mechanics 12 was reli reli very easy. (sori, redundancy n repetitiveness. oops again...). now onto stats 13.1. 13's nvr a nice no. but then, i was born on the thirteenth. hurhur.. guess good things CAN come from that day then. =D.

minority report today - is it nice? wonder. onli one way to find out. finish my remaining work n watch the last bit. =(. yeahhhh..

i wanna change my blog template again, but then not reli no time, like keegan, ample time to like change his banner every other day hehex.. btw, keegan, the banner looks quite nice as it is. white's cool, but its not mi colour. duh.. (pardon the pun).

N once again, thanks all. n omg, sch's tmr.. boohoo.. adieu~

cheers~ n peace.

Well, this is one of the few times my bad mood didnt go away after a goodnights rest. perhaps i'll pay for my stupidity which i call foresight. perhaps not.

see, i can never forget what yoda said in ep5 i think. "always in motion, the future is." unpredictable, yes.

well, perhaps we could question that statement. if you jump off the empire state bldg, we can easily tell your future. for the first few seconds, maybe minutes even, you will see nearing doom - the sidewalk. after that, perhaps you wld end up splattered upon the sidewalk. not a nice scene, definitely. wonder why pple still do it (jump). definitely to make a statement, as one of the reasons. i dunno. even if i ever got so far as thinking of it, jus the "foresight" of seeing my body splattered upon the sidewalk turns me off. there're cleaner ways to die. but i guess, no matter what, we still have to live as much as God wills us to. i mean, you dont turn back a gift to its giver right? tts rude. well why am i talking abt suicide? the truth?

i have no idea. jus random.

don worry, i hv no suicidal thoughts. yet. n i hv no intention of getting them. fullstop.

okay, badminton was fun, esp the last few minutes, cos thats the time when mi previously hard smash returned to me. u can tell when your smash is hard when you hear its sound resonating thru the hall. a beautiful sound.

but no matter, i still aint going for badminton tmr. mi mind is reli not where it shld, or could, be. its busy worrying abt disasters it itself predicts.

tts prob the problem with mi mind - always busy worrying abt disasters it itself predicts.

eg playing chess? the guy moves a pawn up and i'm panicking "y da hell did he do that? is he like hatching up some master scheme to down me? omgomgomg..." well perhaps its an exaggeration la. but anw, in case you need/want to noe, a pawn in chinese chess can be quite dangerous. yea.

but i digress once again.

coming back home (gobs n i) we had a great time, together wid my siblings, bullying shaWiza via phone.. she wont see this, i'm sure, so i don mind going on. hehex...

nah, later i'll feel evil again. anw its abt a sec2 class photo. heex. poor sha... wid frens like this who needs enemies eh...
okay..

cheers~ n peace.

off mi chest.

finally it works. for so long i tried to get into blogger, but failed.

oh pardon this, it might get a bit personal now - what?? i'm human too okay - but i shall try to keep my ranting as short and erm.. sweet. anything but.

bcos sumhow things not gg according to how they could go. yeah, yeah, i tell myself it can be worse.. but tt line reli soon loses its healing properties. if sumbody told you i'm over interest in certain others, sumbody lied. i'm still human, though i'm probably in a fac where u might think otherwise, granted. but reli - why dream? why chase a fading shadow? why try to find the end of a rainbow? why try to scoop water out of a sinking ship?

Hope. a driving force of motivation for some, a retarding force for others.
Hope. keeps some alive, keeps others better off dead.

somehow, perhaps what i wish for will come true. mind-heart dilemma. rmb. i've been classified, rightly in my opinion, as a level-headed, practical, and an oh-so-unromantic person. destiny has to be fulfilled. carved out of stone, yes. but fulfilled in the end.

you know, to give up hope (in this case) is so much easier - for my mind, my heart, everything. lost cause. go. and be happy. i shan't stop you. do as you please.

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

back! yeah pardon, tt was my clone talking. hehex. my depressed clone. but don matter him. he just needed to get some stuff off his chest. ali G is in the house! got the cd. but somehow watching at home doesnt have the oomph... of watching wid frenz. pity. wow, i'm sleepy now. i think i'm gona bed.

cheers~ n peace.

Coolness Redefined

I learnt a few things today.

- Jz's a genius. haha.. don worry, he thinks so too.

- okay more imptly,

I've finally learnt the joys of not caring who's watching you and how pple think of you. its a pleasant feeling - smthg like a carefree feeling. u neednt worry abt whu u hang out with, who you talk to and who u dont, what you do and where you do it etc.

cos today i had such a great time with some pple others (n perhaps me prior to today) wld classify as 'uncool'. pple who judge others by what others say abt them, are merely fools, n i was one of them for some time. i shld go with my own heart, not others hearts - to form my own impressions, rather than have them presented to others.

okay whatever, simply put, i had a great time playing the "singapore town" with tony n howe li, while they sang along. yes, them. n howe li's got a great voice. respect. but it was reli reli reli fun. cos for once, i didnt even care two hoots whether pple were like giving me funny looks or what. it was cool.

okay another thing i learnt today - when u play badminton with pple not as good as you, dont give chance. maybe a bit, but don yaya. realised tt when i played with some reli reli good players, who were reli reli too good for me, n when they played seriously, it was jus much more fun. haha..

another thing - benjy is such a COOL name. apart from another way of writing it, tt i cant say here, there's another COOL thing. Ben G.

• (a) u can interpret it as Beng? well not chinese, so rule tt out. hurhur..
• or (2) smthg like Ali G - Ben G. woooo.. now tts cool. Ben G in da house~ haha...

okay last thing i learnt today - don't blog before homework.

oops.

bye... cheers~ n peace.

ShORt PoSt

I'm only here to point out four random things.

- The great Yang of Chinese Taipei was knocked out by a british indian. i think.
(This is at the world pool championships 2005)

- The only player i know to hold a better record against the great Lin Dan is Pullela Gopichand. believe that.

(They're both badminton players)

- England's first single's name is Aamir Ghaffar.

- I'm indian

(i'm ME. duh.)

heex

I have no idea why i'm rambling. mental illness called schoolophrenia is getting to me.

bah.

eeee.. hai

okay cheers, n peace.

Eggs-in-ham (Exam) Furore

Before i get into greater detail, let me jus apologise for the serious blandness of the background. The fundemental purpose of a background is to allow the reader to view the content, and i think this serves the purpose better than the previous, even if the previous was prettier. hehex.. anw, i'll change it when i can. probably soon. once i get over the euphoria of finishing the exams and before i get rushed into the hectic panic that is prelim preparation. by my calculations, that yields two possible times - next week, or after a-levels. hehex..

But mid years i can say are officially over, and its back to sch and lessons and all those things that temporarily paused for 5 weeks. and i say they're officially over cos all the papers have been marked and returned and checked. and we see that yth has finally got his coveted 4A*s which for so long has eluded him - even if barely. MC:FM:PH:CH=100:96:91:91. go figure.

well back to us humans. We had a much more troubling time getting thru the papers. my maths C was not above 90. bleh.. i noe some pple out there might think perhaps i'm asking too much, but perhaps when ur competitive like me, plus ur in an f-maths class where whoever actually does their work does score reasonably well, and if they're not careless, wld score 90+. i'm not sure if this statistic is exaggerated. maybe it is, maybe not. but its smthg along that line. i mean, yth got his 100 unflinchingly - without even the slightest change of emotion. man... anw, i'm happy with my mark anw. A is A la...

overall i think my f-maths was the MOST delightful. it got returned to us in parts- section C (statistics) was returned first. and i reli screwed that up - 21/39. pass, but soo far from A. and i had reli worked hard for f-maths over the hols. much harder than usual, at least. so duh, i'm pissed. if u can rmb, it was the bstrd qns - questioning both Geometric and Exponential in the same papers, smthg teachers said oughtn't happen i think. anw, so i screwed that up. and my total score for sections A and B faced a bleak ultimatum to score 49/61 in order for A. imagine my euphoria when they surpassed that ultimatum. thank God.

physics was disappointing - a real wake up call. somehow i always thought of myself as quite good at physics. i think so did mr kwek. so imagine our shock when i saw a 6 as the first digit on my score. the good news; it was 69.7. barely an A. and in the end, i found a mistake in the marking, tt made it 70.3. but i reli need to work harder if i ever want to smell a distinction in s paper physics. even to smell it.

which is why i dedicated this week to studying physics. phyllis my darling. hehe.. brings back memories, hurhur.. =).

other 'darlings' are jus useless larhz. but tts a story not for here. haha...

pray complacency is nvr felt by me. let yth n roshni be my motivations. neednt beat them. jus that they are assurances that excellence is possible.

cheerios~ n peace.

boredstiff.

yeah, tt i am. my whole family went to watch the aviva open - excluding me. why? bcos i couldnt wake up early this morning n so had to go for church in the evening. in any case, indon resurgence. indonesia took the men's singles n doubles; while china took everything else. hur hur. anyway, taufik hidayat was fantastic - he's edged out peter gade, beat lin dan, n in my opinion demolished chen hong. and tts great to add to anybody's resume. dreams...

haha... anw after my long absence from the game, to come back and partner coachleonard may not hv been the wisest thing to do. but tts wat i did lar. stupidly. i kept playing like a toot and he kept getting frustrated. n at one stage i jus felt like throwing my racquet away n retiring from the spot, surprisingly prematurely of course.

onli one thing stopped me from doing that.

the fact i had prepaid admission into standard bp for 5 months. looks like its gg to be a long five months. anw, i'm definitely hanging up my racquet after that, at least temporarily. i dont think i can bear playing badminton for NS. yucks... absolutely detestable. i think even standing in the hot sun baking myself is a better option.

on that topic, NS reli seems much closer from this side of the medical check up. hehex... hope jus the positive aspects wld tell - they say it catalyses the maturing process. hopefully. right now, i think i'm still immature. but hey, i like it that way.

another thing tt seems really a whole load closer from this side of the june erm.. break-from-sch is the A levels. and if i say i'm cool and unfazed by that, i'd be beyond lying. mid year tested like onli on average 75% of all stuff, n studying that 75% was a reli reli horrible experience. and i still didnt get all of it studied. physics electricity and modern physics seem ominous, n i havent even mentioned further maths. urgh... at least chem seems understandable. maybe its bcos u dont reli see it when u lose marks in chem, ya? maths in physics its blatantly obvious when u cant even do the sum for the lack of a formula in your head. (eg. negative exponential distribution formula).

but well, perhaps there's still time. now must reli conc. on s-papers. now, THAT'S scary. physics esp. maths c not reli. but physics. yeah...

so u wonder why the title is "boredstiff."? cos tts wat i am. i've got no mood to study. yeah. still in holiday mood from the end of midyears. i guess i reli hv to knock myself out of that mood. ahh but soon lar. not yet. n tts y i'm blogging. hidaho. haha..

okay i'm hungry. byzies..

cheerios~ n peace.

Aviva Open

I discovered ownership of aviva open tickets early this morning, when i was greeted to an sms from matthew informing me of it. not willing to waste money, i promptly pounced upon the tics, n the opportunity to watch the games.

onli two i reli wanted to watch - wijaya/budiarto vs. eriksen/l.hansen & taufik vs. the lieutenant. both were classic matches in the end. indonesians having a very fine day by winning them both. n perhaps its something to do with the crowd being amazingly pro-indon.

wow~ indon fans outnumbered (at least outcheered) china fans.

n yeah, don laugh here. incidently i was among the china fans supporting for lin dan. but tts bcos i've always admired his play, which perhaps wasnt reli apparent today. or perhaps its bcos taufik in his day can practically beat anyone. yep. in his day.

its a different question if it will be his day against the admiral (chen hong). hope he is. n let indonesia prevail~ hur hur..

anw i've always been a fan of chandra wijaya n whoever his partner was - be it tony gunawan or sigit budiarto. but now i think budiarto is a very entertaining player. he was keeping the crowd well entertained which his death-defying defence. tts the accurate word. death defying. i guess the great big danes must have been getting really frustrated when the mighty steep usually-killer smashes kept getting returned back with interest. amazing match, worthy of a final, in my opinion. act the lindan-taufik semi was also worth a final.

anw, this result actually is great for the finals - an all danish affair in the men's doubles affair perhaps wld not be as enticing as an indon-danish affair, which promises much, judging from today's indon-danish affair. similarly, an all chinese affair betw, lieutenant and admiral, wld not be as exciting as another indon-chinese affair. like today.

problem today: super jammed up all the way. kallang was jammed up bcos of the NDP preview or smthg, n s'goon gdn way was jammed up too bcos of chomp chomp. poor cabbie. he was soo tired. he even sleeping behind the wheel. n was commenting on the great jams all over the roads.

okay anw tmr have church n badminton early in the morning~ so...

cheerios~ n peace.
