seeing that everybody else i know is going on and on about how school's not that great and vs is the best i guess i'll have to continue with the tradition and speak about the same things. firstly jc is way let me say it again WAY overhyped. what SUPERfun life in jc, what new learning system and the most over rated fact...GIRLS. tell you what i would trade all of that for just a few months back with the whole 4F class(lucky sly and mc are in my class...). i find jc extremely dry and my theory on jc is now that your brain is crammed full of stuff from o levels they're just testing your brain capacity by attempting to cram more shit into your already full brain. lectures for me i don't know about anybody else is rocking. with me aditya, manvinder and yuhua we make the lectures fun for each other with dares and insulting all sorts of people in the theatre ( and the occasional game of soccer on the psp). so yes i guess we'll just have to wait and see how this goes, it better improve cos at this rate...life in vj can NEVER be compared to that of VS.

good day all. today has finally arrived without much delay and rather much painstaking agony. many a person has his life hanging by a strand based on these 'o' level results due to the constant stereotyping of 'o' level results as the 'foundation' of your life and without it you are nothing. i cannot disagree that it is indeed a foundation but i can safely disagree with the amount of stress and tension placed on it. as they say life moves on and although everybody will no doubt be worried about the marks they also must understand that after receiving the 'o' level results there is no need to regret or reflect but rather carry that slip of paper proudly and move on. therefore to all out there who are receiving their results today, the best of luck to you. but constantly keep in mind that life moves on. with or without you and hence accept thine fate, for there is no more turning back but rather more of moving forward, and that is what i wish evrybody to do.

wow time sure flies fast. the lst post was 26th nov. now its already the 1st of jan in 2008. thats really fast. come to think about it i really enjoyed myself for unlike the previous end of the year holidays where we simply had to do some work or studies. this time it was completely different. this holidays brought a whole new meaning to letting your hair down (no pun intended to all those who dyed hair =D) so yeah the frequent doses of tennis, soccer, pool and friends made me really feel rewarded for the hard work i put in for the 'O's. so all those out there who have done the equal amount of hard work for that darned 'O' level exams you can easily say that apart from all those materialistic rewards e.g. laptop etc. the holidays were your true reward. as for me i will just briefly go over the highlights of my holidays since my last post. damn...that's alot. well here we go..


hmm there was nothing really interesting or particularly unique happening till the 23rd where we embarked on a holiday to Cambodia. yes, Cambodia. well at first i was like....ok...when i reached the airport which is like the size of ian's house i was further discouraged. the 40 degrees weather didn't help either..but it turned out to be a rather exciting trip. it is a third world country depending mainly on tourism of about 2 million visitors a year. we first visited siem reap the second largest city in Cambodia. the guide brought us around to many old temples which Cambodia hardly lacked. like the one in tomb raider which was virtually in ruins...the main sight was angkor wat which i suspect everyone knows after sec 2 history. well it is a marvel in itself but in my opinion it is over-rated but a definite must see. the architecture and elaborate carvings make it comparable to the pyramids in egypt. the second sight to behold was the Tonle Sap Lake which is Cambodia's self proclaimed 8th wonder of the world. with a size two times that of singapore and furthermore it being freshwater in my opinion it should become a wonder. once you leave the many tributaries of the lake and enter the main portion it seems like an ocean. Christmas was spent eating pizza from a place called Happy Herb Pizza. every pizza joint has either ecstatic or happy in its name making it sound like the pizza is topped with marijuana or something. well anyways it did taste good so who cares?



So 2 days in Siem Reap and the other 3 were spent in Phnom Penh the capital of Cambodia. the main sights were the Mekong River and the King's palace with the Toul Sleng museum. the toul sleng was actually a school turned into a prison during the Khmer Rouge where within toul sleng 20, 000 mainly intellectuals including children and women were mercilessly slaughtered. it was a gruesome sight with graves and a monument containing countless skulls and bones. our guide was a victim of the regime having lost two siblings and her parents to Pol Pot's cruelty.
Below are the rules of the camp. Such as having to answer questions or face electrocution.


Next is the palace which is another beautiful structure. with the palace compound being mainly painted gold and the large number of pagodas and stupas that littered the compound, it was indeed a sight to behold. there was even a collapsible Victorian style house which was a gift from Napoleon.

Lastly the relaxing cruise on the Mekong river which is the lifeblood of many SEA countries as it flows from Laos to Vietnam. it was indeed relaxing to sit on the cruise and enjoy the sunset. Phnom Penh was indeed a nice city like Thailand more metropolitan then Siem Reap and they don't even check ID for drinks ^^ so if you ever have the time do try to visit Cambodia. Quoting my guide, "thank you for coming to Cambodia, not for you we won't have work."


So as we usher in the New Year we should leave 2007 behind and remeber that what matters is ahead not behind for 2007 will always be there to look back upon but we cannot see what 2008 holds for us. To one and all a Happy New Year!

so i'm back. busy is all i can say for the past weeks and days. pool, lan, good food, friends, tennis soccer and eyeshield 21 just to name a few. but i guess i will always have time to blog so why not?
anyways went to watch Roger 'Fed-Ex' Federer vs Pete 'Pistol' Sampras in KL. went together with rahul and another friend, keong. i must admit i had a really good time. we were staying at a great hotel called Sunway Resort which practically had Sunway Lagoon as its backyard. so yeah you would understand why we had fun. the match was really good, i only just realised then that federer is really damn tall, oh man there goes my dream of replacing him as world no. 1. ah bugger it. so did i tell you he has REALLY sick groundstrokes?! well for those who watch tennis its totally different when you see it up close. oh man. and sampras's serve and volley style is STILL legendary with the skiddy slices and inch-perfect volleys. combined with the bullet serves. although on that day fed's serve was on top with a 234 kph serve. anyways sitting beside us was an indian dude in his 30s who was like constantly egging sampras on. like 'FIRE YOUR PISTOL, PETE!' i know how sick that sounds but apparently that guy doesn't. so after i came back i was inspired to play tennis and went for training today only to realise that my backhand is SLIGHTLY away from that of fed's. so yeah, a bit more practice and you'll see those backhand shots whizzing past you. yeah right. after training we went to buy BLim a tennis shoe after his previous one went 'koyak'. ended up buying it then walking around suntec aimlessly for like 3 hours...WTF?! that coach of mine lah has a REAL layback life, the typical mat. he even suggested instating a mat as president to have a more laidback singapore. and we were like who needs mats, his reply, 'if there was no mat. there would be no money.' HAHA. (for those who don't understand yusof bin ishak, a mat, is on singapore's notes...) so yeah came back to my place with BLim so he could play cs, and now i'm blogging. so till my next post, au revoir! and if ya have the time watch eyeshield 21. =)

since this is a late post i'll be posting about two things today. firstly about yesterday. tuesday was the long awaited linkin park concert. since brandon, andrew and me were together at my crib we were extremely anxious to leave for the concert. so we decided to leave at 2pm to enjoy a game of pool before meeting tim and the rest at kallang leisure mall/park. so after the game of pool we headed for kallang leisure mall/park where i stepped in cement...because the place was still under construction so there were cement 'traps' everywhere. after the cement incident we met tim at pastamania where they had something to eat. soon after all of us got together and we headed to kallang indoor stadium. upon reaching there we were rather surprised to see no queue at all. but alas, when we followed the signs to the premier entrance we found out that there indeed was a queue, a very long one that started from 2.30pm...so we had to wait. after a long wait from 5-7pm we made it into the stadium only for the concert to start at 9.05pm. so we entertained ourselves by harrasing brandon. however when the concer started we immediately knew that it was worth the wait with the awesome lighting effects and where we were standing. darren and the rest 'moshed' forward while me and yu hua (darren's friend) stayed behind. the concert was bloody awesome and i soon found myself singing till my voice became hoarse. there was even this midget of a girl behind me who asked me to move although i bet she couldn't even see anything even when i moved. however the concert ended on a lousy note when darren lost his phone. however zhi hwa managed to cheer us up with his constant harrasing of andrew whose birthday was on wednesday. haha i can still laugh thinking about it. eventually the laughter had to end as me brandon and andrew reached my crib for some rest. we ended up watching catdog before we went to sleep. oh man, we watched catdog. ok nothing to say man. so after wishing andrew happy birthday at 12 am we went to sleep.

the next day we woke up late at 10a.m and watched heroes, where andrew ended up being smitten by Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars). then we watched knocked up which was really hilarious. finally we decided to cook lunch for ourselves which turned out to be a mistake when we churned out an extremely salty dish of fried rice. after swallowing down the meal we headed for Zion to celebrate andrew's birthday with a game of lan and somne pastamania, where andrew graciously treated us all to a drink. after the mal we headed for Breakers to play some pool. at the start i was clearly outclassed by andrew and out-lucked by brandon. only for me to end andrew's birthday on a low note by beatinf him in two straight racks. after the game we walked back home for me to end up blogging here. so i'm out till next tim. happy b'day andrew. i know for sure you had a great one.


p.s. i will be posting videos and pictures form the concert shortly.

ok so i'm one day late. who cares. i mean we have like 3 months to blog so no hurry. anyway the other reason i'm late was that yesterday i came home at 2 a.m. being home alone has its advantages.so we played pool and watched the gameplan. what a retarded movie with so many bodybuilders and football players that bore a similar resemblance to edmund. with the frequent grunting and bulging muscles. so anyway came home after that in a taxi which was driven by some dude who thought he was training for the F1 race coming to singapore. at the CBD he accelerated to speeds of up to 120km/h where u could actually feel the thrust of the vehicle moving forward. then to top it off he when he was turning into my lane he drifted. yes, drifted. a toyota taxi drifting. just picture it. oh man we're really lucky we didn't get into accident. haha.so anyways when i reached hm played cs with melvin tim ian sly and bing ran. i realised that the really low latency servers come out only at night, why is that? anyways today i'm waiting for friends to come over. and i'm extending a warm invitation to anyone who wants to come over to have abit of fun in an empty house. but no excessive booze and girls like someone suggested *COUGH* 'BLIM' *COUGH* ok so anyways have fun everyone.
