1:51 PM


i think only people of T31 will get this haha


PICTURE THIS:


Gensen: Band Manager (what else can he be? except to cooly wear a blazer, standing at the edge of the stage, clapping and clapping and smiling x)

Edmund: Secretary (the crazy secretary, screaming his lungs out beside the manager)

Edouard: Lead Singer (if he has the voice, you can imagine him to be the best singer hahaha)

Carl: Lead Guitarist (talented, and crazy, just imagine him sliding onto the ground with his knees and playing the guitar, whao)

Benjamin: Bass (tall guy, long guitar, anything else?)

Marcus: Drummer (just imagine me playing the drums and shaking my head and enjoying every moment of it

Hanif: Pianist (just imagine him with his huge sunglasses and vintage style of clothes and standing oh-so-cooly at the keyboard, playing)


And then on rockafella whatever number, edouard goes up to the mike, and says:


"hi guys, we're eddie's sexy band from 2T31!" (cheers and laughter)


"today we're gonna sing a song we wrote ourselves - face down (taking into consideration that face down hasnt been sung yet LOL)"


den i start to drum, guitar comes up, and the song starts and the crowd esp the t31 people cheer like some idiots going crazy! wahh, just imagine it, just imagine it. omggg


and after face down would be guardian angel (also taking into consideration guardian angel hasnt been sung before =D )


ending off with a cool note.


but REALITY CHECK, most of us dont even know how to play those instruments, maybe except for carl lah. but that thought is just seriously too cool xD cos all of the people mentioned above really suits those instruments and if we put all of them together is like perfect hahahah. so ed and i slept yesterday while listening to face down in the hope that we could dream about it LOL.












heaven or hell; rock on.





2:57 AM


no, im not tired, something is wrong with me today. too much sudden extra energy to spare.


was really sian sian + emo emo when i found out that i just couldnt bring myself to pon bball for interclass handball. kept complaining to everyone lah, then i told them that if they won the match with nyjc i let them tau pok me, and true enough, they won, after extratime cos it was a draw at full time, haha. so i got taupoked. but bad news from back in school cos they lost 1-3 to T15 in handball. freaking sad not only because i dont get to play anymore handball perhaps in my JC LIFE anymore but also cos also all the guys got injured in the match. goodjob anyway guys


back to the point. all the energy was kept inside me and with nowhere to let it out i just went crazy the moment i reached school. screamed and shouted for no reason. went high and low for no reason lol. too cute lah marc. no bball to play, no handball to play. what to do?


SHOUT IT OUT IN ROCKAFELLA.


yeah, and thats exactly what i did. regardless whether the song was good or bad, i just screamed and shouted everything out lol.


too bad the majority of the class left halfway cos they were hungry or something hahaha, because once they left, the last 2-3 bands were THE BEST. they made up the ticket price already. hahaha, and hanif's ex-class band Class Act ROCKED MAN. LOL. freaking HIGH. and matthew's band rocks lah, the lead singer looked like some emo kia, but his voice OWNED.


overall, rockafella was worth its price because of the last few bands =D im still HIGH! post-rockafella fever sia. hanif edmund qianyi siyuan caroline debbie junquan and i were the only ones left there hahah. caroline and junquan zao-ed and siyuan zao-ed while we were waiting for capri at far east. we then went to PS to eat macs and to wait for the rest of the ppl to meet up. ahahah. rocks rocks. hanif edmund and i continued with a song after every sentence we spoke! freaking high! hahaha, but that obviously isnt enough because im still high. -.-


ed's mum came to fetch, and we talked about something real cool in the journey back. IM TOO LAZY TO TYPE IT ALL OUT. so i'll blog about it maybe tmr because its just too cool that it has been on my mind since ed told me about it haha! ed and i went crazy sia. pictures in my phone tmr too (:


blah blah, 987FM AM MAYHEM rocks every morning i sit in ed's mum's car, hahaha. never fails to start the day by brightening it up.


booyah, cya.
off to burn my energy yadablahblah





Thursday, February 26, 2009 11:33 PM


lack of sleep + problems + thoughts + responsibilities + work = anger.


sleeping with a thousand and one thoughts in my head is what i call, a disaster in the making.


goodnight.





Wednesday, February 25, 2009 8:58 PM


i dozed off during gp test today! luckily ms rajan woke me up otherwise i'll be sleeping throughout already.


physics test was plain dumb. i was stoning O.o


have to confirm the batam ocip with ms ng and tan hoe teck asap, anyone who reads this please remind me. this is so f-ed up, why cant the people just confirm it, we go, do work, come back, all happy? why must there be so many stupid rumours going around that we cant go? zz


i think its the curse of cj or something, or we're fated not to play friendlies in cj lol. everytime when it comes to another jc's turn to come to cj to play a friendly, IT RAINS + DARK CLOUDS + THUNDER + LIGHTNING. postponed the match to next monday, hope it doesnt rain. so today's training was spent slacking and making up of stupid games like a slam dunk contest with a volleyball, "indoor" 1v1 soccer at the staircase, and scissors paper stone grandstand version. lolol


need to save money~ esp on food, find some way to control my hunger lol


and my leg is SCREWED UP. at first its my shin which has been acting up, and after it heals and is not so pain anymore, my knee takes over the pain, i think its the joint or something. and my father refuses to let me see the doctor, wants me to rub it using medicated oil? dunno lah, try lah.


how many screwed up injuries have i gotten this year?
and its only february.


so many people have gotten sick suddenly, edouard carl hanif. and everyone not really feeling their best. plus my uncle who suddenly has a high fever. take care everyone.


bad year.





Monday, February 23, 2009 11:19 PM


*HAPPY BIRTHDAY JINFEI!*


PE today was FUN. volleyball rocks man. haha
i like being the "digger", or the saver of the serve from the other side, feel its damn cool lolol.


econs case study passed by in a flash: HUH? MPC? lol i didnt even know how to calculate that stuff.


hate mondays, 3 hour wait for cca to start really fucks me up.


and training today wasnt much. after coach selected 15 ppl to train for full court press, the rest of the ppl just wasnt enthu liao. like, we are all considered as "recreational team"? wah sian man. really no mood after that. only ran 2 out of 4 rounds around the school cos of my injury, have to finish up the run tmr zzz


tired like hell, and i need to start studying soon.
MATHS PROJECT GG?


buck up.





Sunday, February 22, 2009 3:28 PM


another weekend come and gone.


and tuition later on at 5, time waster.
complex numbers screws my brain.


im not looking forward to CTs.





Saturday, February 21, 2009 12:49 AM


HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY XIE!!




no comments on chem test today lol.
same old statement: if only i studied harder.


coach says all basketball players, member or team, are banned from going to handball.
seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?! i want to play handball! hope t31 can last until the friendlies are over, because i think i can play after the friendlies are over! zzz. i really feel like ponning next friday's friendly against ny i think? to go to HANDBALL. heard from the guys T08 walked over, so we have to face T15 next, heard they're strong omg. lolol. I WANNA GO AGAINST THEM! and we finally got our basketball jacket! finally lah, after one year? lolol





***


everything aside, we finally won our very first friendly!!!
against YJC : either 56-53 or 59-56


we were darn happy, because i bet at least half of YJC watched the entire match! the place was crowded! morale was really low for us in the beginning i think, yj had so many supporters. the match was really controversied, if theres such a word, lol. so many fouls. YJC's coach is really hyperactive and crazy and strict, shouts and scolds for every little thing and keeps telling the ref what to do and his decisions and all. wtheck lah. and we the "cheerleaders" were kp-ing back haha. we were leading in 1st and 2nd quarter, yj caught up in the 3rd quarter. but we chiong-ed all the way in the end, leading to 2 free throws in the last 3 seconds, and matthew scored both of them! cheered like hell. didnt play in the match, but was happy hahaha. zhihui didnt play too. after they lost, the yj team had to run the length of the court 100 times? seriously some kind of lousy welfare they have for the players. they got scolded by the coach until dunno what.


***


prata-ed with the gang @ haji karim! long time no eat man. laughed until i really was on the brink of dozing off, reallyyyy tired =D at least gina jieying and xinyun finally came haha. but shit, didnt take picture of them







celebrating jf's birthday tmr, but my dad's plan of dinner at night with his old friends really screwed me up, now i have to make up my tuition on SUNDAY. and i cant stay till late for tmr's celebration with them. urgh.


my leg is recovering! but i still wanna avoid intensive exercise for the moment, still feeling a tinge of pain now and then.


really glad this week passed, but not really glad that next week is drawing closer again. -.-


any-o-how, im not taking any of the CAs, CTs, Mid Years or whatever seriously this year. i may be studying and revising for them, but i wont take them to heart even if i fail. because my mind is set: that A Levels is the important one this year. at least that takes some stress of my mind.


c'mon, rest time please?





Thursday, February 19, 2009 10:16 PM


(*Q&%#&^@%$&!@%*()!#T&!($ this shin splint.





Wednesday, February 18, 2009 11:24 PM


basketball is killing me: reaching home from 9 to 10 plus. dozing off in the bus, and forcing myself to wake up again to get off the bus. that sucks, it really feels like the "going to school" kinda waking up lol.


plus with all the blueblacks and injuries on my legs and gritting my teeth even though im just WALKING.


it just cant get any worse. unless, maybe of course, you add a little bit more homework here and there, a mid year exam, and maybe even an A LEVELS! exciting right!! -.-


gonna have to pon tmr's 2.4km trial run during PE.


***


today, we LOST TO SRJC by a margin of ONE POINT.
i'd say, it was referee kayu! they had an extra 2 points because it was already a foul, but one sr guy caught the rebound and shot it in, and den the ref declared it foul in. ?!?!?!?! and for the last 8 secs chiong by sr, the guy who scored already travelled. both refs saw it but decided to give it anyway?! we know that the refs know because we appealed to them lol.


anyway, the match was exciting enough. for all of the 4 quarters, our scores were barely apart. it was almost always even.


i didnt play because i was injured. but i played against sr's team B, those who werent playing in the real friendly formed another team and played against sr's team B. played for one quarter before giving up cos of my injury. but not bad already. scored a lay up and 2 out of 4 free throws.


morale was really low. plus with all the J1s suddenly coming, some of us know that we'll really have to try harder to fight for a place in the team.


***


tsk,
i want to run freely again.





Monday, February 16, 2009 10:20 PM


my right leg is killing me, the side of my shin hurts like hell and the side of my knee hurts like hell too. asked a lot of people about the pain because i never experienced pain in these parts before. and a lot of people said that its something called shin splint? i think. hurts when i run or walk. and the side of my knee, i think its muscle pain or something, and it hurts when im resting, so they take turns to stimulate my nerves and irritate me.


at this rate, the heavy reliance on my left leg currently will soon injure it too.


sucks, because with all the friendlies coming up. many of us dont like the j1s, not because they are good and may take our place in the team. but because they are very "show off". they think they're so good. and their face, ok i dont like their faces LOL. just play normally right? dont just think that coach has chosen you so you're some big fuck.


sigh, i wanna play against yj, pit myself against zhihui haha.


the CAs this week are fucking me up.


jiaxin broke a new record in school i think, haha. receiving 7 balloons for birthday present =D





Sunday, February 15, 2009 4:54 PM


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIAXIN!


and total defence day to everyone x)


mugging for econs and maths!
somehow epic failling.


valentines day was nothing much for me yesterday, spent the day with qianyi siyuan marilene and edmund @ holland V, queensway and town.





met gensen and hoichuen at night for dinner, and who ends up carrying the balloons? lol





what would you have thought of if u saw a guy carrying 3 big foil balloons with the words "18", "BIRTHDAY GIRL" and "HAPPY BIRTHDAY(with a picture of elmo)" on the street? uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. that would be what you would have thought of me if u saw me yesterday night (: and maybe tomorrow morning lol. was quite reluctant luh, but for everyone's sake.


blah.
good lucks to everyone for upcoming CA tests.







Friday, February 13, 2009 11:14 PM


HAPPY VALENTINES' DAY TO ALL!





this is my loot from today! and its the most gifts i've ever received on vday, and also the most gifts i've given out on vday! haha. thanks everybody! everybody had fun exchanging presents and chocolates (: but even if we made ms ng happy with our chocolates, the whole class except 6 ppl were sent out because all of us didnt do chem tutorial! lol


after school, ordered pizza with gensen clement ryan edouard and siyuan! the pizza was damnn nice =D plus garlic bread. after that i rushed off to bball training because i was darn late. but by the time i reached there they had already finished their running haha. it was J1 trials today. they ran rounds around the track and did layup drills. J2 had the chance to slack lol. but i volunteered to referee the matches when coach asked them to play. and some of them were good. esp the centers and point guards.


at about 4 plus, we boarded the bus to IJC. played BAN LUCK in the bus. crazy gambling addicts lolol. IJC campus is BIG. really big, can get lost one. their indoor bball court is in the hall lol. but not bad lah.


the match was bad luh. we lost a lot of points to missed chances. but i gained a lot of experience. plus there were real officials referee-ing the match, so its really kinda like a very very real game. we played zone defence, our favourite defence, plus it saves a lot of stamina. at first we were losing by a lot, but we slowly caught up. by the 3rd quarter we led for a while 43-42. but coach wanted to change our defence strategy to set triangle. and thats when we started to screw up and lost so many points. we lost to them 52-76 in the end. coach said it was training, but oh well. i played a little less than a quarter worth of time. was substituted into the game in the middle of the 2nd quarter. and in the middle of the last quarter. i got a total of 7 free throws in total, which i think is considered quite a lot, but i missed SIX. SIX! 1/7 ONLY, thats like a FAIL. FAIL! ZZZ. i screwed up a few fast breaks too nearing the end. ruipeng and matthew advised me to stay calm next time. but it was really very pressuring whenever u get the ball in the game. in every game lah. esp during the free throws, when the ref passes the ball to me to shoot, i can feel my whole body shivering. train TRAIN! but overall it was a good game i think. hope we can play better in the next match.


went to causeway point to eat before taking a long 966 ride home from woodlands, luckily there was no jam on PIE. =D


free throw free throw free throw.





Thursday, February 12, 2009 11:04 PM


looks like homework or whatever work today is all redundant already.


with all the chionging of valentines' day gifts. hahah. its my very first valentines' day that i would actually make something for the class, hope its not epic fail.


today's pe is hiong like shit. plus i played bball and frisbee before that. my legs are suanning lyk hell.


after school, went to toa payoh with gensen hanif clement edmund ryan and benjamin. edmund and i went to hunt for a clinic to do our medical check up, but decided to wait until 6.30 for one more clinic to open before making our choice as to which one to go to. went back to popular, they already got the chocolates and the wrapping paper. benjamin and ryan went to tuition while i helped clement to choose a ribbon and then we went to a table outside koufu to wrap the chocolates haha. 5 guys, sitting at a food court, wrapping what? chocolate as valentines' gifts lolol. first time scnerario for me sia. got a sunflower for clarine with clement and after that edmund and i went back to the clinic. got some jab, and then met zhengyi and azman. went to nearby coffeeshop for dinner before heading home and reaching home at 10 plus. homework GG. hope appeal to ms ng to extend the carbonyl compounds to next week lol


going to IJ tmr. just now the doctor said that the jab may make me feel feverish. shit? zzz


hope tmr will be a good day (:





Wednesday, February 11, 2009 10:45 PM


yesterday, i officially declared to myself that it was my slack day. but of course, not without stopping my mind from thinking of all the CAs, the CTs, homework etc etc. zzz


at least i managed to persuade my uncle to play pool with me. haha, and i got a chance to use his break and play cues. damn nice. and my uncle's too pro for me, thrashed me in almost every game lol. went for hong kong cafe supper after that. slept very late, no wonder i was so tired in school today.


today's lessons were pretty boring, especially econs, slept through. i still dont understand her concept of going through answers and giving us the answer sheet later on. i'd rather do my own corrections, at least it keeps me awake?


and bball today was a mood spoiler.
everyone was prepared for the match with IJC already, and then it had to rain.


早不下,晚不下,偏偏要打match的时候才下。妈的。


the match was postponed to friday. will be going over to IJC instead cos they have an indoor court. so we did PT today. running around the 3rd level, indoor training, until some band guy had to ask us to shut up lol. so we just ran. push ups, crunches, back rise and the usuals before dismissal. darn tired. and the rain just had to stop right after we were dismissed -.-


im already lacking sleep and i still sleep so late everyday, shitz


going for medical checkup for overseas trips tmr with edmund, hope we can find one good clinic or something?


next week sucks.





Tuesday, February 10, 2009 6:10 PM


haha, thanks gensen caroline and wesley(?!)


shall go to school to have fun now lol. and study of course.


weather SUCKS these few days. rain stop shine rain stop shine rain stop shine. hot cold hot cold hot cold. no wonder i feel sick -.- lucky for me, debbie brings panadol to school haha. thanks debbie


chem spa was okay, just that i didnt X10 for one part, but owells


looking forward to all the cip now =D





Monday, February 09, 2009 10:45 PM


CIP planning is tougher than i thought.


but fun.
well at least in a way.



heard from augustine that we'll be getting seafood to eat, like lobsters etc etc on the recee trip. hahaha, edmund and i will be enjoying lol.


sorry to anyone i offended if i was pissed or anything after the debate today. i expected the debate to be so much fun, cos i was taking down notes and everything since the beginning. but when i realised that people are like debating for their lives, for their pride, for their dignity(?), my mood just swayed. it only lightened up when edouard started to speak. and plus people not coorperating for the CIPs. it may be sian to you, but its even more sian to me, spare a thought for me? i still have chem spa to study today and my training ends so late, i want more time tmr to at least squeeze what i can into my brain. right? not that im angry or anything, i can do this cip thing anytime, anywhere, but i want everyone of you to at least to have the privilege of getting what role you want for the cip (:


training today was as usual, just that we didnt have time to run because we were training a counter attack against full court press strategy.


coach informed us of many friendlies coming up, so my schedule for the next few weeks will be something like this:

10/2 - Chem SPA
11/2 - IJC Friendly @ CJC
16/2 - Econs Essay CA on I.T.
18/2 - Chem CA on ORG Chem / SRJC Friendly @ SRJC
19/2 - East Coast CIP Briefing (7pm)
20/2 - YJC Friendly @ YJC
25/2 - JJC Friendly @ CJC
27/2 - NYJC Friendly @ NYJC
28/2 - East Coast CIP (8am-1.30pm)
4/3 - Annual Cross Country
Second Week of March - Common Tests
15/3 - Batam Recee Trip
18/3-20/3 - Basketball Malacca Trip


Amid all those activities will be mugging and more mugging. and maybe a maths ca included somewhere in between?
and this is why sometimes i hate jc life lol, hectic as hell


need to get medical checkup, need to change my passport photo.
need to do homework.


and now -> need to mug chem spa.


blahs.
smile marcus smile
hot-temperedness gets you no where.
