Gd luck ppl!
anyw congrats to those who gt exemption! i missed maths by 1% eng gt a2 a2 a2 but stil nth also. sigh. anyw i'm juz make sure i work damn hard for exams. target: A1 for all(lk whose wouldn't be?).
c'mon man. keep steady.
sch was okay today assembly the usual stuff except for OBS briefing. heard we weren't gna b split according to our classes. shucks
chi lesson suppose to chiong finish the ying yong wen in less than 40 mins but nt many ppl were able to do so so handed in aft sch.
OH and i suddenly remb. yest aft sci rsh module i left my water bottle in the sci lab so had to go there during recess to get it back. but aphelion having lesson inside so a bit weird to go in halfway to go and get wad right so went to jc cafe to get some food and yea well smth rather obscene happened. won't say wad right here though i told some of u all liao.
okay so anyw last fri was last match of proed soccer league and we won 4-3! i think we might have won the league overall with 3 wins 1 draw and 1 lost. and last wk the other class ppl displayed lack of sportsmanship. terrible lack of it. we gena verbally abused by them the whole time during the match but still we won! and 2h ppl. quite bad also. also were abusing and insulting us lk mad. is this sportsmanship? and pencil boxes are also not allowed on the court during the match be it king kong or not. but we din care. we let the feet do the talking and isaac socred 4 goals! i cr8ed 2 and most unfortunately scored(i think) own goal. haha those there would know wad happened. i think we showed rly gr8 character to win despite under hostile conditions. gr8 job guys! oh and dom the last goal was stupid. no offence. i think u know also.
but there were some ok ppl in 2H. one being izumi. he showed good sportsmanship and even told the other classes who were verbally abusing us to kep quiet and even sms-ed dom and isaac afterwards to apologise for bthe ugly match which i think is rly gd.
xian. dno why but i can't seem to b blogging properly. i think this post has been rather boring. yea i know.
and eh thanks hui yao for lending me ur LOTF book!
i juz hope all the mugging pays off...
Will be back to blogging on the 12th of october!

Whoa. eventful day 2day. 1st thing in the morning---BLACKOUT. apparently caused by the earthquake last night. but we think cd b cos sch nv pay electrical bills. HAHA. oh and the canteen was smoking also. yea SMOKING. smoke was coming out frm the canteen roof. hmmm actually it might b the gym. can't quiet tell.
so anyw the flag raising guy had to shout. and there were no announcements. then went back to class and the teacher(forgot his name. the one who spammed our door last time)was lk asking to go back into the class though it had a smell of burning carbon and there were no lights! he ask us sit new the windows for light. at a time like this, still wan ask read newsweek in the dark, heat and the smell. dude, we dun wan spoil our eyes and get some asthmatic attack frm the carbon.
Eventful morning. nt sure when the lights came on as we were in LT at SRC then when we came out 2 periods ltr everything was back on. sad case. if only the lights were still out then might b able to go home early! haha nothing wrong with hoping right?
so anyw maths test was okay except for the bloody last question which i din quite understand but only understood it aft the paper. shucks. 2 marks. more of an english quesiton tt one. din understand the question. what "angle of the line joining the top of the two poles with the horizontal". yea din understand it. anyw hope can get A1.
oh and lastly, nice way of wearing headphones nick tan!

Juz gna drop a quick post here before embarking on my mugging marathon. damn. i'm starting to get a little nervous. lk i dun even feel prepared for the exams. Lord of the flies i can't seem to remb everything. gna rd the whole thing agian and start writing notes. and tmr there's maths test so yea better go mug. anyw here's vid which is so funny! my mum saw it on hossan leong's blog.

Damn. 1/2 mark = 1 grade. want to cry man. my original mark for chem module exam was 32.5/50. not a very gd score but at least B3. then i had to check the paper in hope of getting more marks but ended up finding one mitsake. Grp 6 periodic table. i wrote as VII. totally forgot my roman numerals tt day. sigh. i kinda blanked out on that day also. so i was debating whether to go tell chua chee and in the end decided to juz tell la. or not tonight can't sleep. so i dropped 1 grade. but then i agian i din lose wad i never had.
anyw chi lesson was suprisingly fun! went to com lab for MASSIVE LAN GAMING. haha jk. well we were playing tangc's aeroplane cheng yu game. quite fun actually. paxton xiao leh get the highest score. 160+ cheng yu correct in a row. but it's 20 cheng yu repeated abt 8 times? and his score was lk 26,000+. mine was a rather pathetic 36 cheng yu. and my highest score is 5.4 k+ i think. thanks to CL cos i knida forgot some. haha anyw hope tmr's chi lesson is go play agian but i doubt so. oh ya. he said tmr gt some funny text thingy.
yea well anyw FEDERER WON!!! He bt Djokovic 7-6 7-6 6-4. pretty gd match.
I wna see federer beat Sampras' record of 14 grand slams. looks lk he can do it. at only 26 and he already has 12. so probably nxt yr shd b able to set a new record.
and HENIN(nt sure if it's pronounced as AN-NAH or HARE-NIN) is also dam ZAI! bt Kuznetsova 6-1 6-3 thought i felt it coulda been a much closer match cos kuznetsova had quite a number of chances to win games but juz wasn't getting the big and impt points(sounds familiar eh?).
Our Men's US Open 2007 singles CHAMPION

Wha. Nick and Jian Yi had to play their doubles at 10pm last night. SO late! anyw gd try!
same to timtanlt also.
not much hwk this hol so i guess i shd juz take this chance to slack.
anyw there's everyday frm 2day to thur. but im not complaining. its fun!
better treasure these last 2 training sessions cos when sch reopens no more training aft exams. quite a dumb idea actually. i mean by the time we restart training all of us probably all alr quite off liao and training can help reduce stress.
oh and dom. i wasn't under stress. juz impatient. to rush liao so ended up killing myself.
anyw im gna watch ra-ta-too-ee(still can't quite speel it) 2nite.
heard it's quite gd.

The better player sometimes doesn't win
That's life
Juz like how manu lost to manc
I was undone yest
Not because the guy was good
But because he played <<2words>>
"auntie style"(the type where the balls only reach the service line and are very high. something i haven't dealt with and prepared myself for cos i thought every1 will play spin or hard hitting which i think i can cope much better than auntie style)
And i was undone by my own doing
I was impatient
Always rushing to kill the point
Made VERY uncharecteristic misses
Frustration
Some totally crap serves
Dunno why everything juz wasn't going my way
Not braggin but anyone watching would have told you the better player din win
"That guy(me) is a much better player but what is he doing?" Some ang mor guy outside
I created chance after chance after chance but juz couldn't finish it.
Time and time again i came to the net in a perfect position to kill it
But what did i do?
Out
Into the net
Frustration
I killed myself
Shot myself in the foot
My serve was crap
Double faulted the whole of the 1st game
Nerves? Maybe but that's life
That affected my confidence i think
That's where my trouble started
A wrong decision to serve first
Juz cos i was hitting those 1st serves in during the warmup
I was frustrated
It should have been a match which i easily would and could have won
SHOULD. COULD.
EASILY
I aced with my 2nd serve
Hit about 6-7 winners
But that was useless as i squandered chance after chance that i created
IMPATIENCE
I know i've said this but juz wna say it again
I REALLLY KILLED MYSELF
SHOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT
He wasn't very good
Playing like and auntie and the strokes were kinda wrong
But somehow i couldn't kill
But it's nobody's fault but mine
The game was mine to lose
And i threw it away
I could so easily have been down at kallang today again
Might have even won 2day and qualified
All the "could's"
I undid myself
The scoreline was not justified
It was, to say the VERY least, unfair
The score was terrible
Unfair
Anyw i would like to comment on 3 ppl who i saw play during these 2 days
Firstly i would lk to say good try nick tan! u fought hard but erm i think the jap guy was a bit to meng yea? but nevertheless well done for winning the 1st match!
Secondly i would say well done feng juin for never giving up and fighting to the very end and giving the guy a though time
Lastly and most importantly, i would like to take my hat(if i had a proper hat) off to Han Shen for some of the best tennis i've seen him play before and for excellent work attitude/rate and fighting spirit. He really worked very hard against 2 very strong japanese opponents and it was unfortunate that he din progress. he fought valiantly against the 2nd guy despite being 1 set down and he rly worked the guy a lot. A good tennis player with and excellent fighting spirit. and not once did he get frustrated. Fantastic. Hence i take my hat off to you
I guess i'll try again in december.

I sit here juz hours before my qualifying game
waiting for my light lunch before going down
i'm not nrevous
nor am i overconfident
i'm juz gna do my best
cos that's all that matters
Trying hard and doing your best
And what you take away from every game
What you learn
And how you improve
im sitting here and guess wad i'm doing?
Watching youtube!
i found a cute version of "I Live in Singapura by Hossan Leong
Thanks Han Shen for the inspiring quote
"Do not hope that you're good.
Know that you're good and play a good match.
Winning and losing is just a result.
The process is just as important.
Good luck man!
Win your match!"
-Tay Han Shen
And thanks feng juin for wishing me good luck also!
Gd luck to both you all and KILL your opponents!(no violence intended)
Oh and timtam, i've managed to rip the ph pu ne ne song but i haf no idea why its only 27 seconds.
