CONGRATULATIONS TO ALEX!!!!!!!!!!

HE HAS BUSTED HIS LEFT ANKLE YET AGAIN!!!!! THAT MAKES IT THE 65498763134th TIME HE BUSTED HIS LEFT ANKLE!!!!!!!!

i sprained my left ankle today and yet, i still actually played basketball. When i was playing, it still didnt hurt that much, but after i reach home, FWOOOOOOOO~~~!!!!!! it really just hurt like hell. ankle swollen now and i cant really walk properly. i think my left ankle is really going to break soon. i have sprained it for who knows how many times. just this year alone, i think my left ankle has sustained enough damage to make it break soon. i have already sprained my left ankle for the 11th time within 7 months. sprained it while playing basketball, playing soccer, running, going down the stairs, in the washroom, and even just while walking. apart from my left ankle, my left knee is still swollen and it hasnt even subsided. it still hurts when i walk down the stairs and when kneeling down. i should give my left leg the ample rest that it really needs.

back to saturday. met jasper for supper yesterday at yishun. ate a cheese prata and a egg prata. was there with bryce, yy, james, jingxiong and jasper's servant, juan. we ate from eleven plus till one plus. then i asked my second brother to fetch me but in the end, he couldnt make it so i had to borrow money from jasper to take cab home.

on friday, i watched a performance from the drama club from our school. was there with kahyong, val, zs, godwin and francois. the performance was alright and it was rather funny. most of the time we were laughing during the show.

basically thats all for my week. tomorrow onwards is a busy week for our lab. having a presentation to the lab manager on wednesday and i dont even know if i am going to present. even if i were also to present, all i can present is my cms stuff. dont know what he wants either. i got to try to do my imf stuff tomorrow and tuesday and see if i can get any results out.

okay, i think i have written enough. my pain on my ankle is really killing me and i cant really concentrate on anything. im now trying to divert my attention of the pain to something else. perhaps playing games would help? i dont have any clue. the pain cant even allow me to sit properly without feeling the pain. i guess this is what you get when you push yourself to the limit. in this case, pushing my ankle. i thought it was alright as i can still jump and run during the basketball game but when i finally got home and have my shoes removed, the pain caught on to me quick. real quick. alright, i will really stop here. see me limping to school tomorrow. i just hope i can make it to school early without being late.

I'm sure everyone has bad memories of their own, be it from young or just recently. I'm pretty sure nobody would really want to recall all these, but yet, they are always at the back of our heads, reminding us of a valuable lesson that we have learned and never to repeat them again.

I can still clearly recall the most rebellious days of my life, that's right, my teenage years. A time where kids turns to rebellious and defiant boys (not all i'm sure, but some, for example me). A time where we would treat our homes as hotels and parent's lectures as noise and friend's advice as the bible or sort. I'm sure some of you have experienced that in one way or another. (Note that this does not apply to all, only some) For me, i'm very rebellious during my secondary school days and it started from Secondary 2.

During my Secondary 1 days, i was just a normal student who does his homework regulary and lead a normal life. Life was easy coming and exams were like peanuts to me. I can still clearly remember during my Secondary 1 mid-year examination, I was 7th in class out of 40 people and i was the top male student in my class during that time. Then when final-year examinations, i was ranked 12th in the class. I guess that was what demoralised me. At that time, i thought that all my efforts had gone to waste. I have studied real hard for it, but still i could not maintain my grades. I think that was when i started turning rebellious. Secondary 2 days was starting to be rough, with me not doing homework, talking back to teachers, playing around and cheating, that's right, CHEATING during tests and exams. By the end of Secondary 2, my grades deteriorated and i think it was there that i have changed, really changed. I transformed from the boy who always listened to what my mother says, to a rebellious teenager who would often talk, or even shout back at his parents when they are nagging him.

Secondary 3 and 4 was a rough period for me as i was turning rebellious and at that time, friends were everything. They were not just friends, but brothers to me. I listen to them and i always treat my friend as my top priority. That was my unbecoming. I would sleep and talk in class, not paying attention during lessons, and even not doing any homework (well, most of what i have done are all copied) and talked back to teachers. I can still remember the teacher who i have never really showed my respect for her. She was my Design & Technology teacher and she was also the Head of Department (HOD for short) for Craft and Technology. I can still remember that whenever i'm having D&T lessons, i would always end up outside the workshop, sitting on the floor and doing my folio. Secondary 4 was a period where D&T students would be really considering concentrating on their folio and i was the like the only one who didn't really do her work. As a result, my parents received lots of phone calls from her. Since Secondary 3 i have been receiving her phone calls. Only when i was in Secondary 4 when she really talked to my parents and even called my parents to visit the school to discuss about my attitude towards studies. At that moment in time, i truely realised that my parents were utterly disappointed in me, but i didn't really care about that at that time. So the end results? I was forced to drop D&T after receiving more than 20 phone calls from her and still not showing any improvement in my attitude towards her classes.

I think that was the worst time during my whole Secondary 4 life. I was foolish at that time to think that not doing my work is alright. Whenever i think back now, i can say that i have truely regretted doing that but time can never be turned back and i can only blame my own stupidness and foolishness that resulted in this upcoming of mine. All i can say is, no matter what i do, i can never go back and rectify the problem. The damage is permanent and it has leave a deep scar in my heart that makes me think before i do anything.

Memories, be it good or bad, is always a lesson to be learned. For me, this memory serves as a reminder for me to never ever repeat my rebellious way again (even though it was eventually repeated last year, as a result i have to repeat a semester in polytechnic now). This memory of mine can never be erased and forgotten as it already left a permanent and irrevocable scar on my heart. Perhaps God wants me to learn my lessons the hard way, and i mean real HARD.

My word of advice. Always think before you act and when you act, please think of the consequences and the people that will be affected by that one little decision you make. Never think that whatever decisions you make will only affect you. If you are ever thinking in this way, then maybe you are not mature enough. All decisions, be it big or small, will definitely affect everyone around you. It's only a matter of who it affects and how many of them is affected. So please, spare a thought for others as well. Don't be self-centered and think only about yourself. The world doesn't only spins for you, it spins for everyone living in this planet.

I just realised that i have really written a super long post. I think this is one of my longest post to date and i didn't even realise. Alright, i think i shall stop for now as this post will definitely take some time to read. People who are reading this, i'm just telling you people my personal feelings and who i really am.

This post has taken me approximately 1 hour to write. So i think i should really stop. Good night everyone and may your future remain bright and steady.

bored!!!!!

im really bored. its been a boring day for me again. yes, bored yet again. rotting at home. woke up at about 1 plus in the afternoon and have been rotting since then. the television got nothing much to watch and my computer doesnt have much games to play for now (screw my graphic card). my graphic card is going haywire and i have absolutely no money to buy a new one. freak it. its really going nuts so i cant really play much games as it will lag like hell (and screen will flicker whenever i play games).

went to watch "pirates of the caribbean: dead man chest" yesterday night. it was alright for the fact that there were more comedy and action but it still isnt as good as the first one. but overall i think i can rate it a 3.5/5 so its really quite worth watching. i shall not review on it in order not to spoil the plot for those who havent catch it.

this weekend is really boring. i spent most of my 2 weekends at home(only yesterday night i was out for 4.5hrs). my 2nd brother went for soccer this morning and i wasnt called! what the hell! i kind of told my brother that if they are playing soccer do call me, but he didnt. well, he played in the field, and maybe because i dont have soccer boots now, maybe thats why he didnt call me? seriously i should go buy my own soccer equipment so i can play with them next time.

okay i shall stop here for now. will be back soon i guess. anyway, tomorrow is back to school again.

im bored!!!!!

hi everybody. back to blog again. you people must be thinking, why am i blogging at this time? because i didnt play basketball today as it rained during the afternoon so as a result, i couldnt play. thats okay though. so basically today, i spent my whole afternoon in front of the television watching dvds (and eating ice cream). i watched 2 shows today, "we are family" and "eight below". the former is a hong kong show while the latter is an english show. as you can see, im really rotting at home that i spent the whole afternoon watching not 1, but 2 shows. anyway, at least i can say that the shows were interesting and emotional.

okay first to talk about the show "we are family". its a comedy starred by hacken lee, alam tam, hu jing. this show is about this guy lee zhijie, who works for this xanadu slimming company in hong kong and he has a long term girlfriend, huang jinfeng who works as a air stewardess. she has a eccentric family so whenever jie proposes she refused. at the 8th proposal however, she allowed jie to go see her family. first stop to china to see her grandmother and babysitter (nai ma). this part is hilarous as jie thought feng grandmother was playing around, but in actual fact, she just trying to help jie cleanse out all the poison in his body. after he got feng grandmother approval, he moves on back to hong kong where he meets feng parents. both of them also tried to test out jie which is also funny, especially the part when feng mother was seducing jie (to test if he is a gay and to test whether he is *ahem* normal). by the way, when jie finished seeing feng grandmother, she passed a family treasure and when he finished seeing her parents, he too was handed with a treasure. their family rule is that he must get all 3 treasures before feng can get married. so off he went to singapore to meet feng big brother (and for his company business as well). over there things cocked up and screwed him up big time. but all things come to a happy ending. i think the singapore part i shall not elaborate. but overall its a nice comedy with some twist. alam tam in this show portraited 3 characters, feng father and her 2 brothers. so its kind of a nice thing to see.

next on, "eight below". its a really nice and touching show which is inspired by a true story. its about a team of explorers in antartic and a guy love for his 8 dogs. this story first began with the main character jerry, an antartic guide was asked by a geologist, professor davis to bring him to look for a mercury rock (something like a rock from mercury). but because the route was different and they could not use the automobile, they have to use the sled dogs. 8 huskies by the names of max, maya, john, dewey, truman, shorty, shadow, buck. so they traveled to look for the rock and along the way they met with different mishaps (the prof almost falling into a glacier and almost died after falling down a cliff and broke his leg). during the part, you can see just how well trained this dogs are, especially in an emergency. when they got back to base camp, they received an alert that the weather is going to change drastically and they have to evacuate immediately.this is the part where the real story begins. the prof (after almost drowning himself) suffered from a broken feet and hypothermal, needs to be brought back to the medical center and they have to evacuate so they have to leave the dogs before. and so the dogs were left in antartic for 175 days. during the 175 days, the dogs have learned how to survive but still 2 of the dogs died (old john and the other dog im not really sure). on the other hand, jerry was trying hard to find ways to get back to antartic. its really a very touching show and i personally really cried when i saw the dogs. they really depended on each other and when one of them died, they actually mourned for the dead (its really touching trust me). the story ends with jerry finding a way back (of course he wil find his way back) and getting his 6 dogs out of antartic. i suggest you people to watch this show (if you havent already). you will be very touched.

okay i guess thats all for now. going to bath soon and going out to watch pirates of the caribbean: dead man chest at 9pm. heard its a really good show. anyway, its a long post for now. will be back to write about the pirates of the caribbean.

Music for the day: You're beautiful - James Blunt

hello everyone. back to blog again. anyway, nothing big happened yesterday, except for the fact that i went to run 2.4km in school with one of my friend. i was tired and my legs was still aching from the saturday basketball/soccer game, but i still managed to finish the 6 laps. however, i didnt time my run as i dont feel the need to.

today is just as boring. i was basically sleeping almost the whole day in the lab. the moment i reached school, i fell asleep in front of the computer. one of the best thing was, one of the supervisors was in the lab but i didnt even care and just fell asleep. maybe i was too tired. subsequently, i fell asleep almost everytime im in front of my pc. actually i didnt want that to happen as well, but i somehow just felt tired. even though i slept early, i somehow still feel very tired. anyway, its week 6 now and everyone in the lab is starting to feel stressed, including me. somehow i wish that i could just quickly finish my work and then i can have more time to relax.

okay, as some of my friends know, im now currently trying to write a story. some kind of love story that has a really sad ending. i have gotten the first paragraph out but i somehow lacked the motivation to continue the story (actually its more of no inspiration than no motivation). im still thinking hard of how to carry the main story and portrait out the characters but i still havent got the whole story. i really have to brainstorm for ideas soon (if anyone of you out there has any ideas on love story do leave a message on my tagboard). okay i shall stop here for now. will be back soon (i noticed this post is kind of short from my usual rantings).

Mood for the day: bad?

hello everybody. im back to blog. well, the week has past just like that. i actually for once, think that time really pasts real fast without us realizing. im starting to think that maybe earth is rotating faster? i seriously think so. anyway my life is pretty much the same. go school on weekdays. on thursday, i went over to J8 during lunch break with my lab friends (val, zs, jasmine, beeling, huisun, kahyong, francis, godwin). we went to eat long john silver (or short peter gold, created by me). i actually eat two 2pc fish meal (the first one was the one with rice, the other one without). then after that, we went to walk around J8 for awhile before hitting back to the lab. so thats all for thursday.

on friday, i went off for napfa test. i didnt actually train for that so i was very tired when i finished it. the first few stations was alright, maybe except pull-ups and 2.4km run (i admit that my pull-ups suck). i only managed 5 pull-ups but who cares, as long i get 2 points (for silver). then after that i went for 2.4km run. my stamina seriously dropped quite a fair bit (considering i havent run alot except during basketball sessions). for the first two laps i was going rather fast so once past the third lap i was having a bit of a problem but somehow i still managed. during the forth lap, my legs started to have a bit of tension and felt like cramping. but i told myself i cant give up then. so i continued running. fifth lap came and i was getting more and more slower. i actually almost gave up but i cant so i just keep on running and prevented my feet from stopping. finally i reached the final lap, i started to pick up some composture and started to run a bit faster. i told myself i have already finished almost the whole thing, so when i reached the last 100 metres i actually sprinted back to the finish line. but i did something wrong after finishing. that is stopping immediately after the whole run. in case for someone who didnt know, we arent supposed to stop immediately after running for a long time. we have to actually keep running for a short distance before stopping (to allow the heart to regain back normal heartbeat). i totally forgot about that and as a result, my heart hurted abit. but after about 10seconds of heart pain, i managed to regain back my normal heartbeat and subsequently felt better. after finishing the whole napfa test. i went back home, with tired muscles, barely walkable legs and almost cramping muscles.

on saturday as usual, played basketball. however, my legs still ached so i didnt really run alot. but i still tried my best to play. but i didnt perform well. then was actually planning to watch world cup third placing playoff but i went to sleep instead of watching when the match was about to begin.

i slept at 3 in the morning and woke up today only at about 7.30pm in the evening. thats about 14 and a half hours of sleep. honestly, i didnt even realised the time until my second brother went to the toilet and i relatively noticed the whole sky was freaking dark. i went out to look at my mobile and realised that it wrote 19.30 so i asked my brother if it was 7.30pm. he said yes. and then i was like, what the hell? i slept for so long? so i just went on to watch pirates of the caribbean on channel 5. then after that have dinner. went to do my stuff and now finally posting. oh, i actually didnt realise i have written so much.

i think i should stop here. i have written quite a lot. im a tad lazy now. and i realised something. my muscles are still aching now. must be that i havent exercise in a while (i mean the napfa test). alright, shall stop here. getting really lazy and find out that my fingers are tired too.

Mood for the day: Exhausted

hello everybody. im back again. feeling tired right now. so maybe i will shorten my post tonight. anyway, my friday ended with disappointment. my favourite team in world cup is out. argentina is out. a big disappointment for one of the best team-oriented football team. their teamwork is one of the best in this world cup. too bad they were knocked out. but one of the most surprising teams who were knocked out was brazil. it was really a repeat of history of the 1998 world cup. france beat brazil once again in this year. even though it was only a 1-0 victory for the french, it was more than enough to send the brazilians packing. so now the semi-finals is an all european contest. the 4 teams are germany, italy, portugal and france. it would really be a good contest for the semis. the first match would be the host nation germany meeting against the pretty-faced italians in a good and interesting contest. italy will still be without their most influencial defender, nesta. the defense of italy may be faced with challenges from the speed of podolski and the constant pressure will definitely take italy some time to counter.

okay, enough about the world cup for now. there is no matches for today so i can really have a good night rest again. anyway, i will talk about what im doing these past few days. basically i went to play basketball on saturday. i was kind of surprised that i was the earliest to reach the court on that day (because normally i would reach there at about 3pm and my friends would already be there playing). we played from 3pm till almost 8pm (i went home around that time). i was dead beat tired and my left kneecap was kind of busted (because i havent recover and went on to get hit on that knee again). now my left kneecap will hurt whenever i climb up the stairs. my left kneecap really busted big time. real swollen. anyway, im thinking of hitting the gym tomorrow but dont know whether my knee can take the damage. i want to train my abs to 6 pacs again but i think it will take some time. should i go? or should i rest my knee first? i really cant make up my mind.

okay i think i will stop here for now. will come back to write again.
