Memories
haha. i have nothing to do these hols. kinda rare for such a thing to happen. i've been stay at home everyday with nothing to do. just slacking and slacking. well, there's so much time that i began to think of the past, all the good and bad times i had in life, the ups and downs.
i still remember the times during primary school. haha. holy innocents' primary. i dont really remember the lower primary days. but the upper primary days were the best period of primary school education. haha. i had fond memories of my eca back then. soccer ! my favourite. i only joined during pri 5 while the rest joine during pri 4. still remember it was shawn chen who pulled me in. i must say i really enjoyed the cca. i even became the vice-capt soon after. the trainings we had at hougang stadium under the marine castle players and coach. once, i even forgot to being my boots for a match but luckily mr concensio ( i dont know how to spell ) who is my teacher/coach lent me his. i remembered being trashed by the schools. we only won 1 match against teck ghee. i score one and assist the other. was very happy that day. back in class, i used to hang out with manfred, the both shawns, hiang tee, jason and even ze hou. lol. i was a monitor during pri 3 and 4 and a prefect during pri 5 and 6. to think of it now makes me laugh. having to wear those tie that i never wear. playing at back stage when on duty. i remembered that shawn chen, manfred and i all aim to enter zh together and only i made it in the end. manfred got 232, shawn 238 and i 245. manfred went to nanchiau while shawn went to amk sec.
yea, so it went on to sec school. zhonghua, where my fondest memories are. haha. on the first i was very lost at first, however, to my delight, i found out that minloong and roy, my two soccer mates were in my class. haha. so lucky. and ze hou, william, jingfang and a few other class mates were also in zh. so i hung around with minloong and roy a lot. i remembered when we were choosing cca, me and minloong wanted soccer but roy tried to persuade us to join basketball. in the end, he got pulled into npcc while ml and i went to soccer. i became the vice-capt again, but the team was soon disbanded due to lack of funds. so sad. haha. during the 1E2 and 2E2 days. hung around with ml, nick, huaili, roy and andy a lot. haha, but during sec two, roy and andy moved on to play bball while the other 4 of us were soccer crazy ppl. well, i actually played both la. but more soccer. every recess was soccer in the field. 1E1 and 1E2 vs 1N1/2 and 1T1. damn funny. there were so many ppl that we just anyhow kick. just kick in the correct direction and there will surely be somone there. yepps. was very close with ml back then, went to his house almost every other day to play playstation. haha. if not we would go to nick's condo to play tennis. yea, but playing soon got the better of me and my results were terrible.
was streamed into a double science class for upper sec. okay, my class was the worst class. but it was the most fun class to join. among the 6 of us, only nick and i entered 3/4E5, the only class with 2 form teachers although were had the smallest number of students. haha. hung around with josh, sl, hw and nick. the 5 of us were close for the entire two years of upper sec. haha. all those fun. upper sec is no doubt the most enjoyable 2 years of my life. how we play cards in class, make fun of teachers, played soccer and bball and even study. i even joined vball during sec 3. sl pulled me in. well, it was a weird sport for me at first, but i soon began to enjoy it. we used to go to nyjc and sembawang sec for training with the nyjcn team. we ended up getting second in south zone. not bad an achievement considering that i only played the sport for 1 year. well, during sec 3, i join the tauhuay "gang". haha. the most important group of buddies in my life. the gang started of with a bunch of bball guys but soon, a few of us from different cca joined.
the whole long list of 21 ppl consist of the 17 guys, alven, andy, honchan, sherwyn, nicholas, douglas, soon long, joshua, likkhian, kelvin, richard, chinhuat, zehou, roy, shawn, minloong and me. and the 4 girls are eileen, meiling, shiyun and jialing. haha. together, we had so much fun during the secondary days. so much fun that i almost got retained at the end of sec 3. i failed my mid years badly, only passing english and failing the rest. most of the only 20 or 30 over percent. pathetic mann. i kinda woke up during then i worked hard for the second half of sec 3 but in the end. i managed to pass english and geog. with a lot of them being 46, 47, 48 percent. the criteria to get promoted is pass english and 2 subs. i was super down then. i remembered tearing in class. all those hard work i put in was not enough. mrs franklin said that there was nothing she could do. well, but a great big thanks to miss liew. somehow she managed to put in good words for me during one of their teachers meeting. the teacehers decided to let me sit for the a re-exam. however, i was to drop one of the subs, either a maths or one of the sciences. i sat for the re-exam, managed to get promoted but ended up dropping a maths. yea, so during sec 4, miss liew really pushed me very hard for me e maths as it was my only math left. i remembered doing e maths tys while they were having a maths lessons every single day. well, all thanks to her my e maths improved vastly. i remembered being the only person in the entire lvl to fail geog mcq during my mid years. from that, i went to top my class in geog during prelims. haha. my combine humans also improved a lot. i guessed the effort i put in was worth while. i scored 19 points for my prelims. hmm, it was also during sec 4 when i had my first gf, eileen, so upper sec was really the most happening period of my life so far. those days when we played soccer, bball and even mahjong and sher's place. at one point of time we played mahjong almost everyday at sher's place. played so much that we didn't had to look at the tiles to know what tile it is. we could just feel it. lol.
well, but a lot of things happened after O's. broke up with eileen the very next day then got back with her only during our chalet on 30th dec. was posted to srjc but then did a last min appeal into innova because she was posted there. well, innova days were more of a love life period for me i guess. i remembered that my world was her back then. didn't really care about anything else. those were the sweet memories.
then, the release of O lvl results. that fateful day. i remember it so clearly up til now. we tauhuay ppl met at serangoon mac in the morning, and headed to school together. the release of results was in the hall, we had to queue up and sit down according to register number. then, mr lee approached me to ask which jc i was in at that time and where i was planning to go. i had a bad feeling, a really bad feeling about it and then he told me that i failed my english! omg, i could't believe it. i felt desporate, tears flood my eyes. to make things even worse, my L1R5 was 24 points. way above wad i expected. i was devastated. i remembered just grabbing my result slip without looking at it and rushing out of the hall. i remember that fateful stairs where i sat in disbelif. i cried, i really did. i didn't how to face my parents, my teachers, my friends, eileen and myself. i remembered how my friends tried to console me. my dad even came down to school to fetch me. i remembered eileen following us. we went to some hawker centre in tpy, each had a cup of sugar cane and talked. both of them were concerned where i was to go with my results. they ask me to think of the future and not look back. i remembered dreading not to go home after that. my dad fetched us back to zh and we headed to lik's house to slack after that. i think i did not utter a single word for a very long time. i couldn't felt worse. i guess thats one of the greatest blow i had in life. all those hard work i put in during my upper sec days were useless. it was a bad end to what is a brilliant secondary school life. however, being in tp now. i think i was lucky to fail eng and end up here. because i am really enjoying my studies. i found a new interest in design.
this is a rough summary of my life so far, schooling memories that struck me these few days. i miss secondary school like. although poly life is fun, i dare say that secondary school life is much more fun. of course there are many many more things that happened during my schooling days but they are way to many for me to type all of them down. and of course there are some things which i are too personal too. haha. :P i say, friends play a great role in life, especially during your schooling life. i cant live without them. i doubt any of you could. :)

Burnt
i'm burnt once more. haha. went to sentosa yesterday. haha. it has been a long time since i last saw some of the guys. it has been quite sometime too since i last went sentosa as i skipped the iad gathering there last week. hmm, had some time relaxing and playing at the beach. we played soccer and frisbee!! haha. it was kinda fun. well, most importantly, it was a gathering to catch up with some of the guys, especially nick, really a long time since we last met up. haha. they are all gonna go into studying mode soon i guess. A lvl isn't too far away for them.
well, didn't stay at sentosa for long as they wanted to go marina bay to have steam boat and then watch soccer. well, i realised all of us cant eat as much as we use to. the amount of food we ate compared to 2 or 3 years back is much less, maybe except for sl. lol . well, but steamboat is still fun. the guys came over to my place to watch soccer after that. when my parents reached home they were like wah. cause 6 of them came over. lol. kinda crowded. but still fun. and the good thing is that liverpool won. wahahaha.
played soccer this morning, which made me more burnt. haha. everyone was tired but still played okay i guess. and i'm even more tired physically now. guess i shall slack in front of the com and tv the entire day. argh, my face and back is all red and sore. hope it doesn't peel much.

Shoot and sleep
haha. i wanna play soccer! lol. i sound like some sec school kid. haha. guessed i haven played much soccer since i enter poly thats why. missed those days back in pri and sec when we could play as much as we wanted to. having no cca sucks, but then again, when school's on, there wun be time for cca.
well. but i played soccer on fri! woots. although it rained, we really had quite a good time playing. even had quite a winning streak, but to be honest, the opponents aint strong. well, but i just love playing soccer, what more we were playing well that day. had fun. scored quite a few goals.
okays, but either than that my life has been plain boring. guess what. i realised that i haven step a foot out of my house since friday. lol! and its already mon now and i have no plans for tmr. omg. this gotta be the most number of consecutive days that i've been at home for the past few years. lol. crazy.
hmm, the guys came over to watch the 2 big matches last night. chan and i are liverpool supporters while ven and matt are man u fans. and the thing is that both liverpool and man u lost. -_- chan and matt went off after the games as they had paper the next day. and i was woken up by george this morning... zzz... he called me like 8 plus in the morning to ask me to help him contact sharifah as she didn't submit her soft copy for marketing final assignment. then nvm, i went back to sleep after that. and he called at 9 plus to ask me contact xu qian this time. then i couldn't contact her as she's back in china and i couldn't contact george back as his line was engaged, so i went to the living room to send a mail. then my parents saw me awake and didn't know that i was planning to go back to sleep and prepared breakfast for me. so after eating, i cant fall asleep already. zzz. and i only feel asleep at 4 plus am the previous night. depriving me of my lovely sleep.
haha, but then again, i had nothing to do at home whole day that i went to sleep. haha. had quite a peaceful sleep as it was raining until my mum and bro starting quarreling again. wakao. my bro shout damn loud. zzz. somemore his gf was here la. -_- really nothing to say. dont really like his attitude. freaking rude mann. my parents are so nice to him yet he dunno how lucky he is. well, i cant do much too. dun wanna make the situation worse. my sis tried before and ended up making things more complicated. i wonder when would he mature and understand mann. we have all tried our best to help him yet he doesn't wanna do anything about his behaviour. sigh. all four of us in the family worry more about him that anyone else. someday i hope he will learn to appreciate and understand our sincerity.
well enough said. i wonder what am i gonna do to spend these two weeks of hols. its only the first official day and i'm already bored. if anyone's free, ask me out. lol. if not i'll end up breaking my record of numbers of consecutive days at home.
