yay! ; Monday, June 30, 2008 20:16
i've this weird feeling. you know when everyone else is at school and you're the only one at home. even your classmates, and this happens for a long time. it really doesn't feel right.
went to ttsh for some neuro medical checkup in the evening. good news. i'm tested negative. yay! something to cheer about.
i just realised that i can see a quarter of the singapore flyer from my hall window. (:

euro 2008 final ; 11:01
euro 2008 final:
germany 0
spain 1 (torres 33)
spain won their first major trophy in 44 years. nice achievement. anyway, they were the favourites for the match. being unbeaten for the whole tournament was a great feat.
more soccer news. adebayor wants to go barcelona. wtf. imagine henry and adebayor. i still stand my my belief that he is not a world class striker and i can't believe anyone would want him.
next, frank lampard is off to inter. re-uniting with former chelsea manager jose moulinho. i think chelsea have many players with potential. but with abramovich wanting to buy world class stars, they can't perfom as well. so leave! go arsenal. (:
another day at home today. have an appointment with some neuro at ttsh at 4pm. will miss mobcomp again. and i failed the term test to make things worse. can feel that i'm lagging behind in all my subjects already.
missing fom lecture and wireless tomorrow again. another appontment in the morning. coming back for asp in the afternoon.
finally, my term test results are as follows:
netinfra - 51.7%
ewebapp - 66%
mobcomp - 43%
wireless - 50%
no comments. (:

back to school....finally ; Thursday, June 26, 2008 23:38
today is my first official day in school for the new term. was hospitalised on monday and tuesday and spent wednesday at home recuperating.
i amazingly attended netinfra and wireless lectures today and realised i had no idea what they were talking about. mobcomp and aspnet was all about sql and databases also.
went to watch cheerleading practice after that. experienced that it's totally different when you are actually doing the exercises.
and the stunts.. miss front spot-ing. there were times today that i really wanted to go up and help them. but i'm still not fully fit yet. and i'll probably be a burden should anything happen to me. sighh.
flyer. stay cheerful. don't feel disheartened. instead of harping on the pain you caused, use it to build more motivation to go further.
sounds easy. i know. (:

regrets:( ; Wednesday, June 25, 2008 21:08
sometimes i look back and think, i really regret asking to be self-withdrawed from the performance. 'cause it was really something for me to look forward to.
then my parents' words come ringing at the back of my head. my health is more important than anything else.
so maybe, it's worthwhile. but still, i feel that i'm missing the people and cheer. :(

SICK favian ; 10:19
what happened early monday morning was totally unexpected. there weren't the slightest syntomes. nothing.
0523: i got out of bed as i was feeling uncomfortable. went to watch the last 3
minutes of extra time for the match between spain and italy, which
spain eventually won. my brother went to sleep, and i shrugged him off as i
wasn't feeling right.
0630: tried sleeping in different positions but couldn't breathe properly once i laid
or sat down. eventually had the urge to throw out. felt better but couldn't
sleep after that as i felt it would happen again.
09??: was sitting on the chair. asked my sister to pour me a bowl of cornflakes.
suddenly felt very giddy, then i fainted. according to my mother and sister, my
eyes rolled and looked like the painter issac mendez. woke up within a minute
with cramps along my upper body.
11??: fainted again outside dr chua's clinic. advised to do a checkup at ttsh.
1840: admitted to ttsh a&e after what seemed like hours of waiting.
i don't know how many times i've repeated the series of events to the nurses and doctors who asked me. anyway, i managed to discharge after 2d1n at the hospital.
somehow resting at home today. not sure about tomorrow. maybe i'll meet terence, weiliang and xianlong for prawn mee if i'm feeling better!
okayy, i've got 3 appointments next week, meaning i'm going to miss more lessons. and the talk about being the class rep is going on.
sighh. still feeling dizzy today. i'm gonna need more rest. (:

; Sunday, June 22, 2008 13:59
the thought of my second school term starting tomorrow irks me. i don't know, but i always feel the same way on last sunday of the school break.
to summarise:
i earned $100 in 2 days,
went back to school for 4 days for cheer,
spent 1 day at sentosa,
only watched 12am euro matches,
AND
successfully NOT touch any school work these 2 weeks.
a major achievement i have no wish to celebrate about.
i predict everyone would go school tomorrow and start panicking about what's there to do and i'll probably be one of them. and there's cheer conditioning. performance in around one month. i better past my term tests or i'll have no mood for anything else.
euro2008
quarters so far:
portugal 2-3 germany
croatia 1-1 turkey (1-3 penalties)
netherlands 1-1 russia (1-3 aet)
the underdogs ruled the past 3 quarter-final games. germany, croatia and the netherlands were sent packing. so italy will beat spain tonight, and turkey would win the euro. (:

the super rich people ; Wednesday, June 18, 2008 17:53
i envy the rich, because i just experienced the life of one today. under my uncle's recommendation, i went to help this woman pack her belongings as she was moving house.
firstly, she's only 32. she's living alone in an appartment in 72 bayshore road, which has a view facing east coast park. her main hall has no window. it's just a big piece of glass. then, she has a private collection of prada bags and shoes, amounting to 50.
secondly, she has a closet of dinner dresses which she marks as expensive and i've to pay special attention to. her lingerie fills up at least 2 luggage bags.
thirdly, her plasma tv is bigger than mine. she has a white vaio laptop and her apple monitor is as big as my bedroom tv screen.
finally, she skydives to relieve stress.
that was what i observed while packing for 6 hours. $50 for that. and it's in an air-con environment. i think she never turns them off.
maybe working again tomorrow. then i'll go straight for cheer training. my legs are still jelly. sighh.
italy beat france! like, who really care anyway. (:

is cheer is getting worse, or for the better? ; 00:52
one lesson learnt today. never visit the gym the day before you have cheer training, and two hours before the actual training starts.
doing push-ups from basic conditioning was bad enough. i almost fainted doing leg exercises. seriously felt lack of blood and oxygen going to my brain.
we saw our coach-to-be vincent today. first words to us was to do 10 push-ups because he wanted to see our endurance. i also know that trainings after today are going to focus much more on strength.
did front and back support for shoulder stand today with both my legs trembling. okayy, it wasn't that bad. but still..
i was looking at my rest-of-the-week schedule:
wed - work
thurs - training
fri - sentosa
sat - gym
sun - shop for soccer shoes
there goes projects. and my rest. i am already missing my euro matches. sighh. the netherlands will win euro 2008. (:

cheer training ; Friday, June 13, 2008 00:31
the feeling of being earlier than the people you are meeting is good! (:
i found out today that 88 journey from my house to pasar ris interchange is just 50 mins. i thought i was late when i boarded the bus at 1150. supposed to meet terence at 1 at the aranda bus stop.
i also set foot into the e!hub for the first time today. met bryan on the escalator. gary came later. movie was cancelled. ended up playing $9/hr pool.
charyl came. we ate superdog, which had student meal. clock read 1530. we headed to school. a bit early for training??
i realised that the training i missed on tuesday was crucial. but things like that happen. so i guess i'm missing out on the performance too. it's ok, as long as i catch whatever opportunities that come by.
did arm-motions for the first hour after conditioning. became front-support for gary's shoulder stand after that. and suhui was really scared. so that's where the supports come in.
and before i forget to mention, i spent a whopping $55.40 today. don't ask how. i wonder too. (:

training :( ; Monday, June 09, 2008 17:16
my purpose of going to school today was to discuss fom project. we spent an hour in the library discussing things that could be said over the phone. an ultimate waste of my time.
i've got dinner tomorrow. which means i'm going to miss cheer training. people please fill me in kays. (:

saucony 100 plus passion run ; Sunday, June 08, 2008 20:36
euro2008 started yesterday. and i was so ignorant of it.
singapore 0
uzbekistan 1
okayy, we're all but out of the tournament. unless we beat the saudis and lebanon by mor than 10 goals. can try again 4 years later though. (:
stayed over in school last night. went to school with terence at 1830. watched stunts the whole night. didn't manage to catch a single glimpse of sleep, which i duly regretted later.
the saucony run was held at east coast park.
bus came at 3. the driver looks awfully tired. lucky we were in singapore and not malaysia. tp sent cheerleading, track and taekwondo. there were many other schools there like nus, chongboonsec, ngeeannpoly, vjc..
there were so many misunderstandings. the dumb place that i stood had no chairs. so we kept taking turns to nap. okie, we weren't supposed to. but i just couldn't help it.
what do you understand from the signs?
bedok jetty
we were chased out of our tentage after the event 'cause they somehow suspect we stole their goodie bags? that led me to wonder if 10 lucky winners would find gold in their bags.
anyway, we split after that. something you don't see often in cheer. most of the went back to tm, some cab-ed home, and i went to ser with another 4.
bathed and slept straight away upon reaching home. woke up at 1900. apparently 4 hours of sleep aren't enough. i'm feeling highly sleepy.
*yawns*

end of term test ; Friday, June 06, 2008 23:16
to sum up, i don't think i put in my best effort for this term test. a lot of last minute revision which proved, that i can't remember everything..
we decided to play soccer after mobcomp today. apparently, people did agree. i was planning to go home immediately and sleep.
anyways, i think school street soccer sucks. the floor is rough, the lines are drawed worse than a primary one art student, and they're using road block walls. i also realised that i NEVER play soccer well in school.
it rained so we left. reached home around 1640. rested, heroes for 2 hours, then met qiming for soccer again. i still believe that dolphin is the best court you can play at.
maybe because we've been playing there since sec2, which is like 7 years? there's a very homely feeling. with the exception of some people who i despise playing with.
people who can only disrupt harmony at the courts and fuck. (apologies for the vulgarities, but i just couldn't resist.)
the holidays are here. 2 weeks. there's going to be cheer training, projects, and soccer!
marshelling duty for the saucony run on sunday. i highly suspect i'll be very tired. :(

; Monday, June 02, 2008 23:35
world cup qualifying:
singapore 3
uzbekistan 7
speechless. i'm wondering if singapore still has a chance in this world cup campaign. anyway, it's a sense of achievement to make it into the world cup qualifying in the first place.
i got my blue pay! $290.50. i feel slightly richer. but then, must save! (:
to date, fom and netinfra is history. i shall not discuss, like i hate doing that after papers. i don't understand why people find enjoyment in knowing what answers they got wrong.
wireless tomorrow is like, i really hope to pass. i want to pass all my term tests to pull my marks up.
*back to studies* (:

for one more day ; Sunday, June 01, 2008 00:50
if you had the chance,
just one change,
to go back and fix what you did wrong in life,
would you take it?
and if you did,
would you be big enough to stand it?
