Hallo.

Friday, June 29, 2007//

yay common tests are over! haha okay i better prepare myself for next week, where we'll be getting back our RESULTS. math was screwed up today. okay let me recall. i didn't know how to do the apgp, summation and graphing techniques questions. and i only did like half of the functions question and even though i knew mathematical induction, the math. induction qn was linked to the stupid qn(i don't even know which topic haha) about the conjecture thingy. argh okay. i'm gonna get U haha! physics and econs yesterday were better, but it doesn't mean i'm gonna do well for them either. my only hope is physics. haha.

and i just completed my rubik's cube, for the first time in my life! so happy man. i was like jumping around my room when i completed it. it's like a huge achievement, although some crazy people in the world can complete a rubik's cube puzzle in 10seconds. i took like a few days! with the aid of some guide from the internet somemore. haha. i seriously suck.

time to sleep now. even though i seem to have more sleep than more people, i still wonder why i'm feeling so sleepy all the time. i sleep like at 11-11.30pm and have less energy than people who sleep at like 3am!

Henry has left for barca. i'm shaken. it all happened so quickly, without much anticipation. i'm in disbelief. i never expected anyone like him to leave arsenal. he is my all-time football hero.

being arsenal's all-time leading goalscorer and arguably the most feared striker in the entire world, henry has brought the standard of world football up to another level.withhisoutstanding precision and dazzling skills, he simply is amazing. an artist some might call him, for his work on the pitch is unique and passionate. with groundbreaking pace and strength, henry definitely has all the qualities of a world-class striker.

henry has also brought professionalism to greater heights. on and off the pitch, his determination is admirable. he does not put in less than 100% effort on the pitch. off the pitch, he is an inspiration.a teachertothe younger generation, as well as a great influence to their characters.

oh henry, how could you have left us, at such a time where we needed you most? the consequences of your departure are positive to you, but very negative to us. what happened to your commitment to us? did you forget what you said? that there was something special in the club of arsenal? now, our players do not have that influence, that captain, and that inspiration. who is going to nurture the outstanding young talents we possess? they came here because of you, haven't you realised that? "This is my last contract, this is where i belong." have you forgotten what you said a year ago, when you signed a 4-year deal with the club?

nevertheless, i respect your decision. who am i to be a skeptic of your choices? for you are wise, and you make the wisest decisions. and as i read your last words, i'd like to say thank you for everything you have done. thierry henry, you will be arsenal's hero for life. now, i bid you goodbye and all the best. au revoir.

his last words : “Well, I would to say you have been tremendous for me I really do appreciate it. I am shaking as I say this. I will always remember you. I will have you in my head and my heart. I wanted to reassure you that I always gave 100 per cent here. I know some people said some other stuff but I always gave 100 per cent. I hope you appreciate what I did here because I appreciate what you did for me. I grew as a man and became a better football player. I will always take that with me no matter what happens. Arsenal will be in my blood aswell as my heart. I will always, always, always remember you guys. I said I was going to be a Gunner for life and I did not lie because when you are a Gunner you will always be a Gunner. The Club is in my heart and will remain in my heart forever.”

this post is dedicated to the one and only thierry henry. oh my i think i sounded too emo. hahaha. but seriously, i'm damn sad :(

lemme talk about yesterday! finally met up with my primary school clique. initially planned on meeting up last friday but quite a few of us couldn't come. so we went to suntec to watch fantastic 4. adrian and i were laughing throughout the entire movie. i guess we had too much laughing gas? haha we kept laughing at the thing and the general's faces. strange. i was shivering in the cinema too because i had some ice-blended orange juice right before the movie started. after the movie, we walked over to tcc(the coffee connoisseur) at millenia walk for dinner and to chill. and the food there is superb! thumbs up! i had macaroni gratin. if only the portion they gave was bigger. hahaha. had some oreo cheesecake after that to sum up a great meal! after that, we happened to walk pass candy empire. and turning around and walking in was inevitable! we just had to buy some sweets! hahaha. this time i managed to resist myself from buying the "ooz tooobz" thingy. i kinda forgot how it's supposed to be spelt. haha but i was once addicted to it! instead, i bought some snake candy thingy. it was shaped like a miniature snake. hahaha damn cute! and it was really chewy. so we took a train home at about 8.30pm. darn i really miss my primary school clique(adrian, lihyuan, shaun, wanjing, xueyin). it's always super great fun whenever i go out with them. they're like the greatest bunch of people i've ever met and known. oh now i'm feeling nostalgic. haha i miss the great old times in tampines primary school. or even before that. i still remember cycling around the estate with lihyuan, her bro and my bro! back then we were neighbours. oh well, one would know realize how fast time actually flies only when one reminisces. okay i think i'm starting to sound emo. hahaha. okay this entry's dedicated to my primary school clique. i'd like to thank god that i've met you guys! :D

i've fallen sick. of all times why now?! haha guess it's been the super hectic holidays i've been going through. or maybe i am severely allergic to studying? tsk it sucks to be sick.

had physics consultation yesterday with krist and ian. and yay! krist seems so much happier now :D i was kinda worried =/ . supposed to start at 10am but in the end we started at about 11.30am haha. mr yuen went a bit overtime with the previous student. consultation wasn't very productive i guess because we kept digressing. i think i only managed to understand like 1 concept.

so after physics consultation, i went with ian to plaza sing. along the way we bumped into mr yuen and he too was going to ps(to buy groceries)! haha so we took the train there together. had lunch at mos burger and after that, i went to buy my rubik's cube! hahaha. was inspired by this small boy who was playing his rubik's cube in the train. and i tell you that boy was pro! and i'm still stuck with trying to solve my rubik's cube. haha it's confusing. one solution leads to another problem.

so from ps, we went to the esplanade to study. haha we were lucky to find 2 seats because it's usually quite crowded. 2 good seats somemore! right at the corner with plenty of space haha. so we studied for about 2+ hours? i think so. could've studied even longer but ian was feeling too cold so we left and went home.

and i managed to study for close to 2 hours yesterday night! but i've still so much more to study on. this is what happens when you don't manage your time efficiently. haha i was totally slacking during first 2 weeks!

time to crack my brains up with my rubik's cube! bye.

shit i seriously need to study! a week and a half left and i haven't completed even half of everything i need to study. maybe only a quarter? oh my. there goes my social life. haha! don't think i'll be doing anything else but studying from now till the end of june holidays. common tests right after june hols. no joke no joke.

finally had the time to go back to loyang sec to collect my o level cert on monday. yep. and it was a great trip back! the moment i stepped into loyang sec, i started reminiscing. like the fun times of playing football in class(it was really really great fun i tell you)! okay so i went to the general office. and i met mr ridzuan! after collecting my o level cert, i felt that i might as well take a walk to the staff room area to see if there were any teachers i know around. and voila! i bumped into my koh, my sec 4 a.math teacher, and 1 of my favourite teachers in loyang sec. yup i had a lon chat with him. and right after chatting with him, i bumped into mr suhaimi, my sec 4 lit teacher. haha and i had another long chat with him. and he's leaving loyang to teach at saint pats.

so i was in the sch for about 1 hour. took bus 359 home, like i always did! :D and when i arrived at the bus interchange, i bumped into joshua xavier, my primary 1,2,3 and 4 classmate and best friend back then! at first i didn't see him and i'm surprised that he recognised me. ahhh long lost friend. and moments later i bumped into nada. she seems to be doing fine at mjc! so i went home after that, and started studying again..... boring!

wanted to blog about this yesterday but didn't have the time! what a great day monday was. met so many nice people :D it feels great talking to a good friend u haven't seen for ages. on monday, i talked to 4 of them. so i felt greatx4 :D hahaha.

okay i have study :(

today was stupid. i was in a rush in the morning because GP tutorial was at 9pm and i woke up at 7.30 and i take about an hour to reach school. haha and i still had to upload songs into my mp3 player and change the battery(if not i wouldn't be able to listen to music during my long bus journeys). after finishing, i was kinda late so i rushed out of my house.

so when i boarded the bus to school, i open my bag to reach for my mp3 player. and haha, i realized that i rushed out of my house without it. argh! i uploaded the songs and changed the battery just for today la! and i forgot to bring it. so my bus journey was plain boring. seriously didn't know what to do. couldn't take a nap cos i just woke up like 45 min ago. couldn't enjoy any nice scenary because singapore doesn't have any!

so i arrived at class 15 min late. haha didn't get any scolding! :D miss kotwani was in a good mood i guess. and she teased me. hahaha because i didn't bring my sch bag to school 2 fridays ago.

miss kotwani : so brandon, did u bring your school bag today?
me: yes, good morning miss kotwani.
miss kotwani : what about the GP handout? your pencil box? your foolscap paper?
me: yes yes everything.

and once i went to my seat and started to take my GP handout out, i realized that my pencil box wasn't with me. it was still on my dining table at home! but i didn't tell miss kotwani la. i'm getting really forgetful these days. all the while i was damn sure that my pencil box was in my bag. i even felt my bag before leaving my house to see if it was inside, only to find out that i was actually feeling my umbrella -.-

headed to vivo after GP with ian and krist! yeah basically we had nothing to do so we followed ian to get a birthday present for his friend. in the end he bought this big stuff toy for his friend from Action City(i forgot what the stuff toy's called). but it was big! stoned at a bench for a while. i was feeling damn sleepy. so we left vivo at about 3.45pm. boarded the mrt train at harbourfront and alighted at the next stop to change to the east-west line(green line). so when i boarded the mrt train, i just found a seat and fell asleep. super tired! didn't really care about missing my stop cos pasir ris(where i alight) is like right at the end where the train terminates! after about 20 mins, the train suddenly jerked and i kinda woke up a bit. and yay, the train wasn't underground anymore. so i thought i was reaching pasir ris already and expected to be at around kallang or paya lebar? but suddenly, i heard this from the loud speakers , "Next stop, Jurong East Interchange." i was like WHAT?! i took the train from the wrong side. so i was erm quite frustrated haha because so much time was going to be wasted la! and pasir ris is like 23 stops from jurong east interchange. so on the super long and boring journey back to pasir ris, i stoned. no mp3 player so couldn't kill time. it sucks to be this blur sometimes. hahaha.

and yep there you have it. another day of sheer stupidity.

okay so i haven't blogged in 10 days. or 9? wait. the last time i blogged was last last friday. today's monday. okay. so i haven't blogged in 9.5 days. about that la! and i don't know why i keep thinking it's tuesday today. maybe i'm too used to time flying so fast!

so it's already the 2nd week of the june holidays. what have i been doing? haha last week was just bowling only. well at least i won some stuff out of NAG. bronze medal for U17 doubles and silver for U22 team! and i qualified for both U17 and U22 masters. haha did badly in the masters though hahaha.

okay let me talk about yesterday. i had a light morning jog! haha finally i've the time to exercise. yeah and after bathing and getting ready, i took a cab down to parkway for my haircut. and while i was walking to the mainroad, SOME WISEGUY THREW A TOMATO DOWN FROM UPSTAIRS, maybe around the 3rd storey? okay maybe a tomato just dropped from a kitchen or something. and that stupid tomato didn't land on me, but beside me. haha now you're thinking that i was lucky that the tomato didn't land on me right? hahaha. SADLY, THE TOMATO EXPLODED AND THE JUICE WAS ALL OVER MY RIGHT SHOE. grrrrrrr. and some on my white shirt. hahaha why do such stupid things happen to me?

yeah so i slept about 2 or 3 hours(short-term memory) during the afternoon and in the evening, my family and i went for a dinner buffet at the Holiday Inn hotel. well it was because we had vouchers haha. if not we wouldn't even bother to go to a hotel for an ordinary dinner. after that, we headed down to raffles city to jalan jalan. my bro went to the New Balance shop to look at running shoes while my dad and i walked around. and i saw this Calvin Klein 3-quarters which are damn nice!! argh but the price also very nice uh )= . after that we took a walk to the previously called Westin hotel(can't remember its new name). haha yeah i heard it's the tallest hotel in the entire world! so we took the high-speed lift up to the highest floor just for fun. and the view of singapore at night is just breath-taking! like whoa!! haha i felt as if i was at a holiday. didn't really feel like i was in singapore.

after that, we went to Jazz@Southbridge located along Boat Quay to listen to the live band and have a drink. and what a great surprise we had, we actually met 1 of the greatest and most promising drummers in the world - Tony Royster Jr!! yeah he's playing at the Drumfest next weekend and is here early for holiday. at first, i could recognize him, but my mind just told me that it wasn't possible for such a great musician to come all the way down to a bar in Singapore just to play drums. hahaha so we watched him play in awe! yay and i got his autograph, and a pic with him. heheh go youtube search "Tony Royster" and u'll know who i'm talking about! :D

yep so we reached home at about 1.45am. and here i am now blogging! didn't really do anything productive today. eh no. actually i did! hahaha i did about 3/4 of my GP essay which is due this wednesday. woohoo. gonna finish it up tomorrow. now i think i better go practise some math.

goodbye!
