Quotes
Love is a minefield. You take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess that's human nature. It hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow up than be single.
We have no say over the hand dealt us in life, but we do have a lot of control over how this hand is played. We are responsible for bringing out the meaning of our own lives in each moment that we live. Remember each moment happens only once and can never be retrieved again.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.
All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.
Friendship
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart.
It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.
Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me
The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch with, never saying a word, and walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had.
A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

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 ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -Martin Luther King, Jr
