Let me elaborate. After my drum lesson today, I felt rather parched so I went to CarreFour to buy a drink. Obviously, since I had only 1 item, I went to the express lane, meant for people with I don't know, maybe 10 items? Guess what I saw? An old couple with clearly more than 10 items in a CART. And when the poor cashier girl questioned them, the old hag replied,"Oh, 2 of us here, divide those items by two lor." .... As much as logic would clearly argue, this is just not morally right. So in an effort to try to save your time, you intend to waste others? Nice. Great Singaporean attitude! I am so NOT proud to be a Singaporean right now.
Why is it that we humans do wrong things in spite of knowing exactly why is it wrong? We feed off our own greed for our own convenience without a single thought for others. Is it so hard to do the right thing? Because funny, I don't recall breaking a sweat doing the right things, yet I always suffer afterwards when I do something bad. Why do we do this to ourselves despite knowing of certain consequences?
What is the difference between apathy and ignorance? I don't know and I don't care. -World Entertainment War [Keith wrote this, thanks for reading! =D]Y,

Soon the full court matches stopped, and played many 3on3 s, 4on4 s. I didn't have fun playing. I couldn't play as I wanted to, so I could only shoot the ball, and even then, people didn't like it. "shooting is for sissies. Drive to the hoop lah!" Yeah, drive to the hoop and have my ball stolen by you. Am I that stupid? Then I accidentally hit someone in the face when I raised my arms to try and block him, and obviously, he didn't like it, and he's the kind who would beat people up for it. So this made me downplay my defence a little, and because of me, I lost the game for my team. I hate being the motha fucking weak link. People look down on me, even though they know that's how they were once, and hated to be treated that way. What's more, since I most of the time played with a point guard, isn't the point of a great PG to make other people better? So please don't look at me that way. Upon further thinking, why the hell was I scared he'll beat me up? I should've just continued playing with the same mentality, the same psyche, the same style.
With that out of the way, there's something else bothering me. I want to play basketball, be the best I can ever be at it, and dispel all stereotype that short people are disadvantaged. And yet, the way my current style is, I will never be able to prove all that. I will never be able to gain the respect of those I play with. I will never exceed the expectations I have for myself if I don't practice. Now more than ever, I agree with what ivan used to say. " All these ties and bonds only weaken my ambition." change ambition to dream. Imagine how it would feel like to realize that your dream has absolutely no chance of happening? How would it feel like to be looked down upon literally and figuratively? How would it feel like to be 162cm tall in a world dominated by 170cm+ people? I realize, my dream has absolutely no chance of happening because I have no time for it.
Right now, my first priorities are volleyball and studies. Then comes basketball. Then comes relationships. I absolutely hate it when basketball has to take a back seat to anything. But this is my choice. This is what I choosed to do. This is what I committed myself to. To bring GMS(S) volleyball to the nationals. To have the best results in my class among the boys. I will now add another one. To improve tremendously in basketball and gain the respect of my peers. The last one is always the hardest one. I know I can bring GMS(S) to the nationals, because all the tools are there, I just need to work hard at it. I know I can have the best results among the boys because I can understand things better than them, I just again, need to study hard at it. Not only would improving in basketball take tremendous amount of hard work, but also a great amount of experience. Now the ground plans have been set, and I now know what I should do.
Firstly, I HAVE to take videogaming out of my life. I have been playing portable devices such as the DS and the PSP long enough. It ends now. Now, this is is the schedule I see if I don't go out with friends.
Monday - Volleyball, do some homework, basketball till 6+, do some more homework or do some physical exercises.
Tuesday - Do homework, physical exercises, basketball till evening, do some more homework.
Wednesday - look at monday.
Thursday - Look at tuesday.
Friday - Look at monday.
Saturday - look at tuesday.
Of course, I will make time to go out with friends =). It's these ties and bonds that make me wanna become better, be a better person and refreshes my mindset. But if this schedule keeps up, I'll be able to finish my homework by next week. Then I'll able to go mad on vball and Bball for 2weeks, then I'll start my revision for headstart.
It is knowing that since I have no time to reach for my dream, is what depresses my holiday because it means I have no chance of ever reaching my dream. Now that I've set aside time for it, there is a chance to. And no way will I ever lose sight of this chance again. I vow to not break my commitment, and that will not ever change.

- Bomber: Sometimes bomb, sometimes don't bomb. Depends on situation. Time, people going, activity, etc etc.
-Fly Bomber: More chances of bombing than Bomber. A more extended range, if you will.
-Satellite Bomber: Bombs anytime, anywhere. Does not confirm bomb, but can bomb you in any situation as he pleases.
-Kamikaze Bomber: Die die also must bomb. Bombs in any situation whatsoever. A confirm bomb.
Back to the main point, it was really fun! Probably a highlight of this week! Never swam in a long time, but I now have the feeling ^^. Lol, chased ivan around the whole pool. Ken kiat swims scarily fast. Wei qiang I never disturb. Lol. Swam finish, went into a steam room. First time into a steam room. It was great! Lol, there was so much steam, I couldn't see wei qiang at the other end which was like 3-4m away? It was like sweating, and yet didn't feel tired. It was hot for normal people, but really, it was nothing much. Could've been hotter. Showered, went to sing post for supper and home.
Forgot what happened on tuesday tho. Ah. Shit, I think the swimming thing happened on wednesday. ARGH. I FORGOT. lol. Oh well. Life's been a bit mundane recently.
This is for someone: Dear lord, I know that I don't talk to you much, but this is for someone important. I sincerely pray that the operation will go smoothly and that recovery will be 100%. I know that I don't treat this person the same as I'm treated, but I will admit, this person's an important person in my life, and I don't want that to change. Pray in jesus name, amen.
I don't pray much. Nor do I even talk to god that much. But this is important. A friend of mine is going into a life threatening operation. As long as I have faith, and knowing that good people won't die young, all will go well =). [Keith wrote this, thanks for reading! =D]Y,

16 Nov
Was abit pissed off today. Today is one of those days.
Started off with this morning. I wanted to see the zhu hai people at the airport and send them off, but I woke up too late at around 620? They were going to be on the plane at around 7. I was at kallang mrt by 656am. It was a 28 minute ride to changi. Unless I have the power to teleport or create rifts in the time-space continuum or basically create a portal or jump really long distances or fly or... or.. You get the idea. Any superpower that could possible get me on time there. Maybe the power to wake up early. That would have been really really useful.
After that went to 108 to do some balling. Been awhile since I touched a basketball. I wasn't that out of touch, but I deproved quite a bit. This job of mine has really been taking up alot of my time. Which is why my parents made me quit it. More on it later on. Alvin came, we played a couple of mini games, and it was off to training. The start was pretty good, we had fun while training what we were supposed to. My setting still needs a hell of alot of work. Props to Alvin and Daniel for being able to spike so well even though most of my sets were probably abit below average. Most was okay, a few was good, and hell of alot of the okays become total screwups. I've this goal set up for myself now: To see improvement in my setting by 2 weeks. That's about 6 trainings. It's about 9-10weeks from now till east zone; it's now or never. Right now, all I think we have a problem with now is our first ball receiving and my setting. Other than that, I think the team's spiking and blocking are excellant, and are probably on par with one of the best. I started getting pissed close to the "end of the training", where we would play a match against the sec1s.
1. They weren't serious. They kept pushing blame to each other and pushed around
2. Halfway through they forgot the score, so they put it at 15-15? Which was okay really, even though we lost that set in the end, 24-26. I was pissed because the call they made was wrong.
3. One guy sarcastically came up shaking hands saying good game, and I just told him off," Seriously, now is not a good time for sarcasm." Normally I would have lost it by then, but I understood how his charecter was. It was just like that. But still, it got on my nerves.
4. 2nd set they played absolutely horribly, and so did i. the sec1s joked around till the extent that the coach played for them, and I think even HE got pissed.
5. We won the set by 25-15. A horrible score to me. They're sec1s, and they were joking around, and we got this kind of score?
So yeah. This kinda put me in a real bad mood. On my way out, the npcc guys were shouting out parent's names to random people. Then they spotted me and did the obvious. Honestly, when I'm in a bad mood it's best just to leave me alone till I cool down. But, I hadn't cooled down, so I shouted at them for all to hear "SHUT THE FUCK UP". As I walked to the toilets at the back of the canteen, they shouted again. And I lost it even more than I could've lost anything. I was prepared to beat the fucking shit out of them. I shouted "OI! NI MEN SHUO GOU LE MEI YOU ARH!" They still shouted it one more time. "ZI BAI NI MEN SHUO GOU LE MA! HUH! FUCKING ZI BAI." And I just threw my stuff down and approached them a few steps, ready to just lose it and beat them up. I was at the corner turning into the toilet, they were at the NPCC room. So if I were to run over there and beat them up, everyone could see. They backed off, and I picked up my stuff and went to shower. Honestly. I admit I shouldn't be shouting out vulgarities, and they were just having fun. But really, they should learn to see or sense when someone's in a bad mood. Took a nice cooling shower, which cooled me off abit. I hinted at the sec1s about something by asking them when was the east zone.
Went to eat, then off to the job. Was really great the whole day. But sadly, I have no choice but to quit it. What with the headstart tests and all. I tried to be on my best behavior, since I want to have that last impression to be good and such. But, couldn't find the manager, so we decided to tell him tomorrow. What a horrible, inconsiderate decision..
17 Nov
Went balling in the morning with alvin, right before our jobs. Pled 2 on 2 with some uncles. Won 1 lost 1. Which is a sign of how much we had deproved =_=". Alvin kept getting boxed out, and I wasn't steady enough to make any good shots. Anyway, we went to school to shower then met up with daniel to buy something for MrLian. That something would turn out to be a really cool shirt which costs $36 =). And a card for that huge card we would give as a present! I wrote "Mr Lian: The best teacher I've learnt the most lessons from outside the classroom! I've learnt so many lessons from you even tho you weren't one of my class teachers. Thank you for letting me into PECS, I've learnt so many lessons from you and I've made so many great friends! Thank you and all the best! .Keith" Or something like that.
When I got to the job place there, I felt abit gloomy. All the way when I've sensed something wrong or a potential moment to approach our manager about quitting, I would whisper to alvin" How?" At the end, where we would receive our products to sell, it was now or never. Do or die. "Today's our last day here." We told our manager. We could tell he was upset. They planned so many things and put every effort and now we "want" to quit? I told him I have no choice, because what with our tests and all.. He went on to calmly explain we should've told him sooner, so that they could plan something out. I felt absolutely horrible. Alvin must have felt the same. So the plan now as this: Take the products back, then monday they'll settle everything. When everyone was dismissed, me and alvin went up to our manager to apologize for the inconvenience. He said it was okay, but honestly I still felt absolutely horrible. On the way back, I kept trying to push the depression away from myself and alvin by making up stupid jokes again and again and again. Oh, and absolutely lame distractions.
We got to the BBQ at around 7? Everyone was there, and the food just started cooking. Nice. Put down my stuff then walked around to see who had come. 5miutes later, I was in the indoor sports hall shooting some hoops. Really refreshing workout. Went to eat, ten mucked around alot. Then, time flew by, then it was time to see that video we made for MrLian=D. Honestly, I expected him to at least tear up. I almost did, it was so touching. We all gave him our gifts filled with plenty of love. He made a speech and said a prayer for all of us, then it was back to the bbq. Everyone had their fill, and I went to ball for awhile. Got back to the canteen, adn gathered around MrLian. He talked about alot of stuff regarding PECS. Like how it was born for example. You could say it was born from laziness and "evil" intentions=p. Last time, the PE teachers were to lazy to go out and get tea, so they would get a student now and then to go out and buy tea. Tada. The PECs were formed. Of course, their duties of going out to get tea was no longer valid=p. Time really flies by when you're doing something interesting, like listening to MrLian's words of wisdom. We cleaned up everything, and then it was like 1150! And no way was I going to walk home in the dead of the night. So I rushed everyone =p, and when I got to my bus stop after chasing after my bus, to my utter dismy, all my buses were offline. Argh. Took a while to flag a taxi, but daniel sherlyn and her sister accompanied me while they waited for their bus. Reached home at 1210. Used the com till 2, then went to sleep.
So far, the past two days were really eventful. Now, all I'm really nervous about is my very very last day of the job tml. I've no idea how am I to face everyone there. I'm.. afraid. Afraid their changing opinions of when me and alvin quit. Of course, not that they were thinking good of me in the first place, what with everyone talking to alvin most of the time. Oh well.

The sec3 PECs, short of a few. Gotta love 'em=).
The great guys=)
The infamous TAU POK.
All the PECs, short of some. Let's try to find keith!
PECs really are the best=p.
2nd night. Either this is really really cute, or this is really really OHSO very gay. I think the former=p.
followed by the sec3s SEA EXPEDITION. The destination was Bedok jetty. The current was against us so we took 2hrs to get there. But, we took half an hour to get back, in record time =D.
When we got back, we had time to shower and slack. Then it was dinner and then the nightwalk! Shall elaborate later on.
TODAY
Second day of the job. Not bad. They explained about what their product is, which when I think about it, can be almost anything, having their technology applied to it. Hope you people won't mind if I start approaching you for sales=P. Haha. Ok, shall end off here.
If a child runs into the room saying "Mummy, mummy! I love Jesus and He loves me! We're all going to Heaven when we die and God is looking over us!", people will smile and praise the child. Nobody would say "Don't be silly. You can't possibly say that because you don't fully understand everything about the religion. How can you know that for sure, when you've not read the Bible in the original Hebrew?!?". But if a child (or teenager, or adult) says "I've had a good think about it, and have come to the conclusion that Jesus is a myth and nothing in Christianity makes much sense. I declare myself to be a freethinking secular humanist.", then they are quite likely to receive the latter response. You could have all the theological training of a hedgehog and still get wild applause if you stand up and say you're a Christian, but it seems that atheists are required to demonstrate more intelligence and Biblical expertise than all the clergymen and theologians that have ever lived before they are allowed to publicly express their doubts. -Adrian Barnett

Mmm, ok. It's a company called Healthwise PTE LTD. I checked it out on the net, it's for real. The weekly $300 - $500 thing? Not really sure. They work on stuff regarding nanotechnology. Mostly health products I've heard. And from what I heard today, on JUST the very first day of their training, I'm impressed. Whether or not I would get good money, this would be a VERY knowledgable experience. tomorrow's the second day. Wish me luck! Lol, I'ma buying a couple of t-shirts from a place neaer there. They're nice and cheap=).
Ok, and I would kinda be real glad if all the comments about hui ying is just stopped. ok? She doesn't want to be my friend anymore is because she's obeying a command. She did it because she needed to in a sense, and she hated to do it. I will never hate her for that, so please, don't hate her just because of her point of view.
Reply to tags.
Huiying: I know it's painful too. And for the first time, I'm looking through the bible on my own.
Jeremiah 17-19
17 Have you not brought this on yourself
by forsaking the Lord your God
when he led you in the way?
18 Now why go to Egypt
to drink water form the Shihor?
And why go to Assyria
to drink water from the river?
19 Your wickedness will punish you;
your backsliding will rebuke you.
Consider then and realize
how evil and bitter it is for you
when you forsake the Lord your God
and have no awe of me,'
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
I have not done wickedness. We were given the decision to choose between right and wrong, and for the most of my life, I have done the right thing regardless of how embarassing it is, how much I hate it or even how much of a fool it would make me. No ones perfect, nor should I expect myself to do the right thing all the time. I have not forsaken the Lord. I believe in him. I know of his power and fear it. I know there is nothing he cannot do. But just because he can, doesn't mean he will. I don't focus on the consequences of sinning and fear from ever sinning. I know God is all loving. God loves us, regardless of ANYTHING. And remember, the door is always open.
Daryl: thanks for speaking up =). But as I said before, I would appreciate it if no one comments about it anymore. I can't even attempt to be funny anymore because of the lack of a shortage of good posts=P.
Lovebound: Lol, as I tagged in, it wasn't directed to you=p. It was a misunderstanding. Thanks for understanding =).
Wendy: ehh don't worry about it. Yes it is getting out of hand, which is why I don't want any more comments about it=p.
I can't even try to be funny because of all the serious posts. Oh well. Tml I shall upload the pics if I have time=p. That's it for now.

I didn't expect the tags, honestly. First of all, a big thank you to all who gave their point of views on christianity and tried to patch this friendship back. Seriously, a very big THANKS with a capital 'T'. But please, don't go putting her down like that, it is her point of view right? As it is my option to whether or not I accept christ, it is her option whether or not she wants to be friends with me, no matter how depressing that may be. So I would appreciate it if no one comments about the last post, the nov8 2007 post. Please and thank you!
Huiying, don't get so caught up with religion until it's too late and reality eats you alive. Sometimes you just have to believe that there can be happy endings despite what you see or hear. Live by love, don't live through fear. God is all-loving, not all-fearing. If you don't want to be friends with me, fine. Just so you know, the door's always open, and I'll always be there.
Smile each days(:, Thank you for speaking up, appreciate it =). I rather not pursue this matter any further tho. If she doesn't be friends with me, fine.
u need not know who I am: Indeed we need not know =P. Lol. Would be great if I knew who you were tho. My email's in the last post, would be swell if you could email me and tell me who you are. Don't worry, I won't tell=p. Anyway, thank you for understanding and providing your point of view. But please don't go lecturing her like that, she has her point of view, you have your point of view. And I respect that.
weekeng: Thank you for being understanding about all this and commenting in a very balanced point of view. As much as she respects my decision not to accept christ, I'm respecting her decision as to not being my friend anymore. You speaking up is greatly appreciated=).
Now
Mood: Calm
This takes up quite some time=p. Wanted to play basketball but now its too late=p. meh. Came back from camp, great to be home, love my com, my hp charger and my bed=D. My job starts tml, looking forward to it. CCA starts tml, which I wanna go but I think I might have to miss it. Job's 11am to 7pm, cca's 9am to 1pm. And I can't call them to say I'll be late. Well, I can, but they're not answering. meh. time: 0620. May post at a later time with pix =D. [Keith wrote this, thanks for reading! =D]Y,

Her: I'm asking you to choose. Accept Christ and get away from them*, or I'll break this friendship I have with you.
Me: .... What happened?
Her: Nothing happened. I'm just asking you to choose. Now.
Me: ....... What happened*more serious tone*?
Her: Nothing happened! I'm just telling you to get away from them and accept Christ!
Me:... Something must have happened. It was only a few minutes ago that we talked happily on the phone. So WHAT HAPPENED!?
Her: Okay, I will tell you what WILL happen. If you keep hanging out with them, you will get their curse and do the same things as them! Now choose, accept Christ and don't hang out with them anymore or we're not friends anymore!
Me: .....
Her: ......
Me: ......
Her: ...... So? What do you choose? I don't want you to be cursed like them.
Me: ...... Let me.. think.. please.. Answer me please.. What happened?
Her: NOTHING HAPPENED! I JUST DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE THEM BEING CURSED! IF YOU CONTINUE TO HANG OUT WITH THEM YOU'LL BE CURSED, THEN I'LL BE CURSED TOO! SO DO YOU ACCEPT CHRIST OR NOT?!
Me: ....................................
Me: Would you just let me think? You're not asking me to decide whether or not to accept Christ or whatever Christ bullshit. You're asking me to choose between friends. Whether or not will I go with you or with them, I don't care about whatever fucking accept Christ bullshit! YOU'RE ASKING ME TO CHOOSE MY FRIENDS! NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION!
Her: Okay, then I'll make that decision for you! We're not friends anymore! I know that you won't won't hang out with they all!
Me: ..... You didn't even let me make my decision!..... I value all of you as my friends okay, I don't ever want us to be apart. Remember what you said a while back? Friends forever?
Her: You want to hang out with them then I cannot be friends with you! I don't want all this curse to add up to my problems! That's why I must have a clean break with you!
I shan't detail any further. Obviously, I tried reasoning. Talks about god here and there were thrown. You all knows how it ends up. If it was a happy ending I wouldn't be blogging. I just don't get it. After everything, it's all over. Never in my darkest nightmares would I even imagine it to be like this. This is much to harsh and much too cruel. You say it is rebellious to go against god, to sin. Isn't sinful to break up a couple in love? I'm sinning against god by not becoming a christian, by not living righteously? What's so righteous about making a decision that would separate friends? The god you know is not the god I know. The god I know is all loving, whether or not we decide to accept christ or not. The god I know do not make decisions that would go against love. And no, I'm not talking about cupid. Do you know how much this hurts me? Everytime you had a problem, I provided the listening ear. Whether or not would it inconvience me massively, at the end of the day, being able to hear your smile after I cheer you up was all worth it. Now, not being able to hear nor see your smile, pains me so. How is it so ironic that we chatted happily on the phone a few minutes ago then end up not being friends barely a toilet break later? I will never forgive myself for not appreciating you until you're really gone. At the end of the day, whether or not will you be friends with me, you shall, and forever be, my friend. I don't ever wanna see you hurt. I don't ever want to see or hear you cry. If you think that if I'm no longer your friend your "god" will stop punishing you, then fine, if that makes you happy, if that stops your sadness, if that stops your TEARS, then fine. I'll step away. Just so you know, I care about you the most. Fuck, this whole fucking song I put in my blog is about you! it's only been a year and you've changed so much...
I think I better make this all clear. This is about Hui ying. She's one of the bestest friends I have ever had. I'm not in love with her. I love her as my best friend. So BACK OFF, CLASSMATES, STFU ABOUT ALL THIS GIRLFRIEND STUFF. And hui ying, I hope you would read this and go back to the way it was.
This is to that sec1 girl. I'm really really sorry, but I can't deal with this right now. As you can see, I have alot of things to handle now. This, plus to the fact of a job, headstart tests, ccas and O levels, I hope you'll see my point.

No mood to post nowadays as nothing interesting has been happening. It was just one ordinary day after another. My brain almost imploded due to the sheer simplicity of my holiday life. Not that simplicity is a bad thing. It is life's simple joys that give its meaning.
Friday was my turn to go play the VAS tournament match. Each B boy can only go about 2 times, as so not to miss many lessons. The last two matches were against Zheng Hwa and Hai Sing. It was a pretty close match in both cases. 22-25 in both sets for Hai Sing =_=". Anyway, today was against Catholic High, one of the pinnacles of secondary school volleyball. When me,
Ok, so during the first set, even during the pre warmups zhen yang was intimidated by the other team=p. I can see it in his setting, if he's not feeling okay, his sets will like become not good=p. First set ended with a score of 16-25? Wasn't that bad at first, I mean, like the score was quite close at first, until they pulled away. 2nd set, I got to play. I kept telling myself,"Who cares how strong they are?! They won't even come close to touching you so why bother? Just go out there, do your thing and most importantly have fun!" Starting of the match, the guys still had a sianz look on their faces. Regardless, when they scored I kept shouting all the way, and some of the guys followed so that's a good sign. And whenever we scored, I'd act like an idiot by prancing over to my team mate who scored and give him a high-five, followed by our GM cheer=p. Which sounded like a roar to me whenever we all do it together.( Guys, we all have our share of mistakes, so don't be kicking yourself about it and think about how ya'll gonna earn that point back! We're in it together ya? Just do our thing! ) I like their sports hall floor. So smooth. A few times when the ball was too low for me to set up or I was too slow, I'd get on the floor and set it up. Note that this meant that I was either in a kneeling on one or two legs position, or just sitting on the floor altogether. Then if I was in the way of them, I'd just slide me and my butt away like I was on a slide. Lol, haha =D. Our high spirits was there to guide us throughout the match, and whenever we scored I'd prance around a small circle "roaring" our GM cheer! Haha. At times, we were even leading against the feted team of Catholic high! The lead changed many times, from us in the lead 14-12, then to them 16-14, back to us again 18-16, before they finally pulled away with the victory 25-19. The last ball was a little too high for me to set, so I wanted to put it over but then one of their guys jumps up, and spikes the ball back before I even got to touch it. Oh well. After the match, the coach asked us whether we knew any areas we needed to improve on. He also said that that match wasn't half bad, we played the match happily and with high spirits & enthusiasm.
That's pretty much about it. We saw our first coach at that place too. If I had a choice, I wish the team had never split apart and that he was still our coach, regardless of whether or not I get playing time. He molded us into the people we are today, filled our curiosity with wisdom and entertained our lives with laughter. And I bet the rest of the guys would agree, that without him, we wouldn't be who we are now, and we probably wouldn't have even known each other as well as we do now. He's our first coach, and he's a great coach =). VAS final match against St Hildas, the absolute pinnacle, the very tippy top of secondary school volleyball. We're a great team guys, believe that, and never forget it.
GM! Ace, ACE, ace, ACE, ace!
