This will be my last entry.
Common test in 2 weeks time.
I will continue after that.
Tagboard messaging for now then. Good luck in studying peeps.

Went back tanglin for 5 hours of chemistry mentoring work. It was rather pleasant this time because there wasn't much questions asked from the sec 4s. Did some inspection on their practical around noon. They were dissolving Mg metal strips into HCL and H2SO4 acid. The instructions were simple but a quarter of them made different silly calculation mistakes... so noob man... could've been more conscious. 1 saturday sepnt just like this... shall attempt chinese essay later... I can do it !

2nd session of the devastating training program. Nothing went wrong except chin hong came up to the empty grandstand to chat with me for a while. This time my hips had a different area in heavy fatigue. My lower leg still suffering from the injury inflicted by yuko's classmate tt day during e soccer game. Our legs just crashed into each other's and the pain is really starting to bother me... But I will persevere, for I can smell thy victory ahead. Jianchao is blasting off the ground again!

Fate.
I met my chemistry tutor 4 times in different places today although there's no tutorials or anything except chem lecture. She was also giggling hard when I told her that :-)
I still don't know how experienced she is in teaching chemistry but I can tell she is trying very hard to make us understand her lessons. How can I get a poor grade for the upcoming common test when she's tried her best for my class?

As Roman Emperor Hadrian said of Rome, 'Brick by brick, my citizens. Brick by brick.

Uh huh. You heard the lady. Die-hard fan keke... I'm grinning from ear to ear all night long man.. Take care of yourself too ya? I know it's wild fun to hang outside from night till dawn but it's also detrimental to health unless i'm invited haha....

No training tmr because there's a compulsory "Xiang Sheng" show in LT5. So train on thurs after yoga and saturday!
I must keep myself awake after 6pm if not no homework will be done...

!!! Private Lee is going down from the onslaught of Air Alert III in JJC !!!
The simple jumps were siong indeed... Is that how he is able to jump 2.0x metres?
My legs just went so jelly-like that jogging 400m for cool down feels like hell on my muscles around the knee area. But hey ! that's only the first jump-conditioning session. There's 15 more weeks ahead.
I will train, whether rain or shine,flood or drought ;)

Good job Tanglin Track team. My 2 training partners got bronzes while the lower sec gals grabbed 1 gold and 2 silvers ! That's a big achievement for an underdog neighbourhood school. Of course, without Mr Tham they wouldn't be in the prize stand.

I can see her, but just couldn't feel her. Separated by an imaginary glass, the feeling is bad. When she logs on to msn, I can't help but to retreat to "appear offline" mode, hoping that her nickname will stay online for as long without noticing me.

Pshhh...hope Nicholas isn't looking at my blog.
He said Yuko was quite pretty in primary school and I was taken back by his words loL...I don't think he meant any thing else by saying that huh...
I'm so bad hor... purposely write this out to attract yuko's attention lol...
K that'll keep her coming back for more juicy info...

Mentoring again on sat morning!
OH! I have to sleep early tonight to compensate for my early waking in the day(3.30am crawled out of bed to study physics). It was worth it.

This week was so busy! Had to do 2 make-up topical tests...Disappointing results i reckon. I really studied at the eleventh hour...So troubled now...There's a super big physics test coming tomorrow. I don't think my brain can eat 3 sets of physics chapters in one night.

Oh the other day:
I watched Cool Runnings, a movie about the first Jamaican bobsled team based on true history. As you know Jamaican is a country in Africa and there's no ice for bobsledding. But still, in the 1970s, the first bobsled team emerged and qualified for the Olympic Winter Games in Canada. My tears welled up in my eyes when in the end, the team had a record-breaking time but crashed through the course because the bobsled had a technical problem. Why? It was partly because theirs was a basic and rickety training bobsled. The Jamaican Olympic Committee did not sponsor the hopeful team a single cent and it was only made possible by full contribution of one of the bobsledders.
It is a very inspiring movie for lost and self-motivated athletes like me.
There are a few things I learned from this movie alone.
- Do you know how the movie portrayed the Jamaican bobsledders being looked down utterly by other contending bobsledders? I call it total humiliation but like my previous coach said abt a junior runner, you must make use of this energy(being humiliated/provoked/anger/despair) to convert into useful energy. That junior's father(i think) passed away before his race but he ran with overwhelming power to win eventually.
- If Jamaica can make it into the Winter Games, every country has an equal chance of participating in absurd sports events.
- Some athletes are never forgotten in history not because they won some huge events, but done a memorable/honourable act.
- Win in your country's,community's and your way. Don't follow others blindly.
The 4 Jamaicans' bobsled stopped short of the finishing line. They embraced each other, got up to their feet and carried the 600 pound bobsled to the end as claps from the overlooking audience by the side grew louder and louder. Ohh I just love the movie. Jamaicans, you have shown me what the true meaning of Olympics is all about.

That's it. Nationals over. Didn't even clear 1.60m. Like I said, I'm aiming for next year. I finally get to see Diwei, Bingyang and David Woon in person!

To end things up, I went to clementi central and ate rotiboy while strolling back to Tanglin sec to retrieve my O lvl cert. It's not too good leaving it there for so long... Quite some of my classmates' ones were still there. The gym wasn't open...The trackers probably all busy going to cck for competition. This is the second time I went to back to my secondary school in 3 days. Amazing !

My dream life.
Owning an extensive house set on a stretch of lush green patch of land. Every morning I will be greeted by the numerous mountains from a distance not far away. I revved up my red Ferrari and zip down the roads to the countryside.

In the winter, the mountains put on their snow as I cast the shadow of my minature plane over them.

Free
The dream within.

If you have anything to say, say it now. How sure are you that you can live another day to tell the tale?
I'm not going to leave this world without accomplishing my dreams.
I brought down the previous template because I feel that the theme is too significant for me. I guess this new one is here to stay, for long.

Wow...Reached home at 7pm almost every day this week. My timetable for this term is even out on all days, even friday ends at 2pm. I have gone yet another league behind my work, be it Physics, Chem or Maths. Saturday there's mentoring work for me in sec sch too. I can't even handle my own load of work, but i'll see what I can help to help my juniors with my b3 level in chemistry.

Okay Monday's my big day. Hopefully I can clear the first height at 1.60m.
Following Tuesday, I have to take my Chem and Maths test.
Believe in me everyone. Thanks.

I'm exploring iPod Music Store now because there was a new feature in my iTunes. I didn't knew apple.com offers free high-definition music videos and podcasts. The latter is like downloading the radio to your comp! It boasts over 3000 different stations that I can listen on my iPod while on the road. The music videos are in QuickTime format which guarantees absolute video clarity. What are you still looking at? Get iTunes now.
Btw Apple released the colour LCD 20GB iPod at the same price as the non-colour one! I feel a bit cheated... But nevermind...as long as people buy Apple products, I'm equally happy. If you have been catching the business news, Creative is going down the slope in its profits while Apple has the opposite. Reason? Creative's mp3 players failed to displace Apple's iconic iPods. I'm not saying you should waste your money on Creative mp3 players, but iPod is the better option.

I'm still thinking what to do in track training tmr...Most likely it'll be curve strides, run-up strides and i'll challenge 1.40m in standing high jump...again.

Mingzhao's friendster pic is stunningly cool man... With him clearing 1.85m and some more the cam is projected upward into the cloudy blue sky at cck. That's his new pb by the way. I really hope he wins the championship this year. I don't want to see HCI ppl dominating the top 8 again and again. Go boy...next year I'll fight alongside with him. This year..hmmm... CMI la.

"Hold On"
Jet

You tried so hard to be someone
That you forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
'Til all you had spilled over
Now everything's so far away
That you don't know where you are, you are

[Chorus:]
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to [2x]
For you to belong to

When it's hard to be yourself
It's not to be someone else
Still everything's so far away
That you forget where you are, you are

[Chorus:]
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to [2x]

Hold on [8x]

[Chorus:]
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don't seem so much
For you to hold on to [3x]
For you to belong to

My eldest sista made pasta for lunch today! It's marvelous with all those melting cheese and intriguing tomato pasta sauce on it. Halfway eating that, suddenly I kept thinking what happened during gp tut. yesterday.

We were having the SDU speed-dating activity and David was matched with me. Huiqin was with Shaun and the gentle Miss Tan asked Shaun what he has to say about his date. He started off by saying Huiqin was a very vocal person(she's a hardcore ogl, u see). Then Miss Tan urges Shaun to say something more... Shaun added, "She's a pleasant girl..." And the whole class goes "ohhhh 0000". Then the more hilarious thing happened. Shaun flunked his hands up a little and commented with a joking expression in his face, " Aaalright I lied. hah.." The whole class burst into maniac laughter. I just love my class even more!

The NUS dance team @ the psc show rox !!! They've got the speed, the flow and whole lot of energy. I'll bet 10 on them winning the finals tonight. OH no..they got 3rd..

So much maths due next week. I don't want to disappoint Miss Lang. And Ms Zhang in my chemistry too!

I went through so bad things this week. So many unlucky events...Vexing man. Training weren't as good as I thought. What's the matter with me?
Let's talk abt my new drink. U pour hot water into cup with lipton teabag and add some milk. Walaaa! It becomes my fave drink. Mz asking me to go cck stadium to train jumps with him...k lor i'll just go see what I can learn from him..
