hi all,
in like 20+ hours time, 2009 will arrive.
just a flashback of what happened in 2008:
08' was one hell of a year,
A'level - probably the worst academic course that i will ever pursue.
the time spent mugging, will always be remembered.
i just proved to myself that if i want it, i can overcome the obstacles.
but as always, life is never easy,
and i would like to take this opportunity to thank a few ppl that contributed in one way or another.
firstly, my study pals, eric and kahkian.
they are really great ppl, becos i always believe that i am the weakling among them,
but they were always there to help me thru the difficult times.
i could still rmb that there was one evening that kk purposely stayed back,
just to coach me for a kinematics test for physics. THANKS! i really appreciated it.
and eric, who showed me that econs can be easy if u have the right study techniques.
his words of encouragement can really do wonders. haha!
next, i would like to thank my class, 07s22 and teachers.
though i seem to drift further away from class in 08',
but this grp of ppl is really a fun batch to be with.
they spur u on to work and play equally hard.
and celebrate every occasion with great enthusiasium.
the PW group- though everyone dreads PW,
but i really enjoyed working with u all,
no conflicts, no arguements, jus plain fun and enjoyment. haha.
occasional hiccups does affect our morale, but we still managed to pull thru and got our grades.
not forgetting teachers, who stayed back late jus to give additional coaching.
teacher like mr tan, a true great, haha!
even if i don't do well, i will still rmb ur guidance.
haha! *touch wood* "I WILL DO WELL!"
lol.
moving on, i wanna thank my friends,
the usual ones, u know who u are.
especially my secondary school friends.
though we are now in diff. sch, but i really enjoyed every session
where we played soccer, watch movie or just go out for a walk and chat abt stuff.
true friends are hard to find,
so i will really treasure u guys and hope we don't lose contact.
and i am really grateful for all the organisers who made opportunities to meet up easier.
the friendships shall stay strong! haha.
last but certainly not least,
i would also like to thank my falcon squadmates.
we only meet once a year after our course,
but i really enjoyed every occasion where we got together.
its like a bond that was never broken even though it was left untouched for months.
u guys are the best squadmates that i will ever find!
*provided my army squadmates ain't any better* haha!
yup, i guess that's all for the thanks-giving part ba. haha.
though i didn't really mention everyone,
but i sincerely appreciate everyone who played a part in my life,
for better or worse, i really thank you.
to all my friends out all - i hope you have a wonderful 2009!
haha. shall leave my new year resolution till next time.
haha. bye!

i exercise! :D
yo! i can say i am quite proud of myself today.
haha. because i actually did quite alot of other stuff rather than playing.
firstly, I WENT SWIMMING!
haha. got a sudden urge to swim, so i just went for it.
i swan 50x50=2500m!
that's quite alot! haha.
i guess if i did that on land. i would become chui(soft).
LOL. i actually took only slightly more than an hour to complete.
so it was quite an achievement. haha.
yup, and i also started to find jobs! haha.
not that i didn't find before,
but this time round, i actually seriously considered and sent in resume for those that interest me.
haha. previous times i would just wait and forget.
lol. hope i get a job real soon, cos i am running out of cash.
haha.
next, i actually paid my long delayed bills.
my telephone bills accumulated to close to 100bucks! haha.
and now, i have to pay that amount in one go,
which also accounts for why i have so little cash left.
haha. i always pay my bills once every two months,
but i guess that habit of mine have got to change,
if not i will find myself broke almost every alternate month of the year. haha.
lastly, i successfully inflated my bicycle tyre. HAHA.
yup. i think i got my bike like 1.5 yrs back, and i only tried inflating the tyres on 3 occasions.
on my first attempt, which was at the petrol kiosk,
i tried pumping air in furiously. haha.
and before i knew it, i heard "BOOM".
haha. not as loud as an explosion la, but loud enough for the attendants at the station to hear.
so i was damn pai seh and i have to manually push my blike back home.
haha.
on the second attempt, also at that same particular petrol kiosk,
but this time round, it didn't make a sound.
but i think i am just dumb or what.
instead of inflating, i deflated the tyres.
haha. and i tried very hard to pump more air, but to no avail.
so i actually push my bike from that kiosk to the nearest bike shop at teck whye.
which was damn far, if u all know from bp lrt to that shop.
together with the bike and on a bright sunny day!
i almost died. haha.
finally, today, the last recent attempt, I DID IT!
haha. this time not at the kiosk but at the bike shop instead.
haha. i think its much safer to do it at the shop since the uncle is looking at how i do it.
LOL. yup, and that's the noncensical story of "me and my bike"
haha.
haha. i actually got quite engrossed typing the bike story.
LOL. and speaking of bike,
there was also another embarassing scene.
that was long time ago, but worth mentioning.
i was at my friend's house, and i borrow her bike to go to lot 1.
my and my friends went to a kiosk to pump gas.
so our tyres were damn filled with gas.
we were cycling past the bus stop at the rear end of lot 1,
and suddenly my tyre went "BOOM"
that time it was damn loud, then everyone was staring at me and my friends.
haha. it was damn pai seh, serious.
then i frantically tried to cycle away, with the rim of the tyre grinding the floor.
haha. since the tyre was no longer in effect.
lol. i am really sorry about spoiling my friends bike, but she said it was ok.
so i was lucky. haha.
yup. haha. i actually got quite a lot of funny bike story about myself.
haha. but too tired to type le.
so i thik i will just stop here.
and till next time,
BYE!

random
i played soccer today!
first time for a long long time. haha.
though it was raining, we still continued playing.
it was really fun.
can see people sliding around, and making spectacular saves.
haha. and i think this is the most recent time that we have quite high attendance.
yeah, and i am really tired now.
haha.
anyways, want to congratulate Nick and Starr on winning the Amazing Race.
haha. i know its kind of random but i am really happy.
because it has been a long time since i supported a team from the first leg,
and the team went on to finish first.
haha. they are a really good team.
look more like a couple than siblings.
haha. and now i wonder what will they do with the money.
finally, ending off by saying:
"i will go and exercise"
so stop hinting that i am growing fatter.
haha!

yesterday,
i went for my cousin's wedding.
surprisingly, it actually took up my entire day.
this was how it happened.
in the morning, as early as 9, i was at my cousin's house:
it was the tea ceremony, which i didn't know my purpose of being there.
perhaps for the food! haha.
after the ceremony, it was already past noon.
and there is still the wedding dinner at night.
so i have got little time to rest. just pack up and GO!
reached the hotel, there was the swearing ceremony,
where couple say "I DO" to each other.
sweet, but every couple will do the same thing. haha.
after that, i was dinner time, YEAH! LOL!
we waited about 1.5 hour for the real stuff to start.
EAT! my fav. part of the show. haha.
yup, anyway, i scaled the photos down so that they upload faster
cutting the cake, i didn't know that such wedding cakes are fake,
until my sis actually told me they were.
she said it will take hundreds to make a real one.
more food. haha. some of my relative actually don't take shark's fins.
because they proclaim they want their grandsons to see sharks when they grow up.
which was quite true, but for me, since they were already dead.
so lets not make them a sacrifice. LOL.
just kidding, i actually do care for animals. haha
pouring of the champagne, and serving a toast to everyone.
one funny thing my sis told me was that every couple tried to make their wedding different,
but it end up that every wedding is similar.
actually there was more food, just lazy to take photos of it. haha.
yup, and when all is said and done, its home sweet home.
it was already 11pm then.
so i spent an entire day on a wedding.
and i am only a relative!
*imagine when i get married*
how shag would that be?
haha. but i think i would probably be sunk in happiness and wouldn't even think of fatigue.
LOL.
and finally the wish them "EVERLASTING ETERNAL BLISS"!
with that, i shall go to sleep. haha.
bye!

chalet
hey.
actually i wanted to post about prom.
but i was away at chalet the past couple of days.
so i didn't.
now that i am free, i found that my camera was with my sis.
she is in hong kong and will only be back in tuesday.
haha. so the early time i can post the phots with be weds ba.
so guys, especially for those waiting for me to send u the photos.
anyways, just some feedback on the chalet.
it was actually quite boring.
haha. probably because its something like senior-junior thing.
and we have like a gap between just.
and most of the time, i was stoning.
haha. and they were either playing with cards, x-box or psp.
luckily on the 2nd day,
some more senior ppl came.
haha. and also people with similar character came.
so we finally got to get out of chalet and into "escape".
haha. it seems to have a connotation that we are finally free from the chalet.
lol. although i rained after a while but it was still better that stoning in the chalet.
ya. and i went home that particular night.
wondering what i have really enjoyed.
actually not a lot. maybe just some catching up times with friends ba.
haha. yup. so i gtg already.
will post on prom when i have the photos ready.
