i need some motivation to study, but just using words cant move me, i need to wake myself up.


i can just sit at the com or do nothing the whole day, feeling guilty at the same time, but doing nothing about it. laziness kills man.


"stop your gaming. you better wake up and think for your future. are you going to just waste 12 years of studying? wake up marcus."


wake up.

but you can always adjust the sails.

went to see the doctor regarding my rash.


once he saw the rash, he quickly told me of the bad news. he advised me to go to a specialist straight away as he said it could either be a very bad allergy or cancer. skin cancer. im shocked right now. he said it was a later stage of skin cancer and if i dont get treatment right away my life could be in danger. im only 17 years old, not even 18. and my life has to come to this stage. it was just a drain walk. why must this happen to me?


the doctor said he couldnt see any rash, not that he knew of. but he said the itch could be due to the white spots behind my back. he gave me a cream to apply if a rash really breaks out and some medicine to stop the itch and to cure the white spots.


went to get carl's present with edmund and edouard (:





the itch can seriously kill, especially when it continues to itch after you realised how badly u did for the exams. lol


UUSED.

this is the Singapore Basketball Centre (SBC)



the last time i came here was to watch a match between the team my uncle coached and a foreign team competing in some cup. that was the very first time i was watching a competitive basketball match LIVE and the adrenaline rush was already quite good.


but this time, im coming back here with a team to root for! and its OUR team, imagine the adrenaline rush NOW. i feel this team has already accomplished many things, in friendlies, we won SIM, swiss cottage sec, YJC, NYJC and ACJC. we trained for only such a short period of time and although its still kinda messy, this team rocked.


we lost to MI, but we won SRJC today. revenge is sweet, they won us by a point in the friendly match but we won them square and fair 46-41 this time. so in order to go into the second round we would have to beat TJC and MJC. next monday would be against TJC, and the match will be at 3plus so we're appealing EVERYONE TO COME DOWN TO THE SBC TO SUPPORT! why? because i think the TJC principal made it compulsary for the whole school to come down to support their bball team. -.- there is always so many people supporting them! and we need some support of our own right?! btw meridian got owned by them with a margin of 20 to 30 plus points, and in contrast not a single soul was cheering for MJC lol.


now im only afraid that if we do manage to get a lot of people, and then for some reason we get thrashed upside down by them, it will be super emo. but on the other hand if we win, then HUZZAH.


give me some reflection time for my studies for a moment.





Monday, March 23, 2009 8:20 PM


first day of school wasnt really hiong but it sure is unusual. this is the first time im coming back to school after a one week holiday feeling that the holiday was a bit too long O.o maybe its cos i went to many places haha.


batam recee



basketball malacca trip



sentosa



a bit unsatisfied still, but theres still the feeling in me that i played too much lol.


i got 12/80 for chem essay questions, and i doubt my mcq will be any better, VERY disappointed, its like the worst in class. nevertheless, i have to keep trying. u see if i put more effort in chem, i'll have to give up time on my other subjects and i dont want my maths to deprove.


A DIVISIONS TODAY WAS DEMORALISING.
we lost to MI. everyone was off form today, and everyone knew it. watched srjc played against tjc and whao, what a show, sr nearly caught up but failed to, and lost 38-41. we wanted sr to win lol. heard from zh yjc lost to nyjc, oh well. srjc on wednesday next.


inspiration.





Sunday, March 22, 2009 8:08 PM


just came back from sentosa outing with edmund edouard gensen siyuan and qianyi, and i am SHAGGED. lol.


played A LOT of volleyball and played 3 sets of volleyball with some people who invited us to play with them. though we lost it was FUN hahaha. bought drinks, played in the sea only for a while, and continued our volleyball!


left sentosa about 6 plus and cabbed with edouard home. haha, some successful impromtu outing (:


***


i just watched the highlights of man u losing 2-0 to fulham on footytube, and what the hell. if im a fulham fan i'll be celebrating all day. the way fulham played was absolutely solid. they only attacked a few times but when they attack it was solid safe standard attacks. but as a man u fan, i was freaking frustrated. i seriously wasnt surprised at the fury shown by R&R, if i was them i would have done exactly the same thing. go die lah stupid ref. zzz. man u attacked with QUALITY and QUANTITY but fulham's keeper is freaking on form during the match. suay lah man u. and scholes's handball safe is EPIC LOL. but whatever, with 10 men, united still played better than fulham until the 2nd goal. and rooney's red card and suspension ruined it all. dumb fuck lah the ref. freaking biased.


***


sch is starting tmr! theres double GP tmr and i think she'll be going through the CT paper. i want to go through also, but i have to leave at 11 for basketball A divisions.


blah, hope school continues to be enjoyable =)


i dont wanna see your FACE.





Friday, March 20, 2009 10:19 PM

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 9:59 PM

cya everyone.





Monday, March 16, 2009 9:54 PM


went for the batam recee trip yesterday with edmund.


we met at harbourfront centre, with augustine and matthew. we then went to the information counter. met ms ng. but in the end the rest of the teachers were at the cruise center with the guys from t23 already lol. met another marcus tan haha, and the other guy was freddie. there were only 6 students and 4 teachers, gabriel wee ms ng the econs leturer ms fan i think, and tan hoe teck. there was also a tour guide waiting for us already. so we waited till 9.30 before we could board our ferry. edmund and i tried to take pictures of us with the ferry, but after taking them we freaking realised we took pictures of the WRONG FERRY -.-. it was a one hour trip! there was kung fu panda to watch, but it was a silent movie -.- so i slept haha.


batam is 1 hour behind singapore, so it was still quite early when we reached there haha. had a briefing from mr tan in the bus, that this ocip is 99% OUR planning and not they plan for us. and also that this recee trip is also considered as a leadership training trip. first stop was harbour bay seafood restaurant! i can swear that restaurant can beat so many seafood restaurants in singapore, and plus its so darn cheap. the atmosphere is damn good too, facing the sea. took a lot of pictures there (:


second stop was the hotel we were going to stay, btw its not a hotel its a RESORT. a BEACH RESORT. purajaya beach resort. facing the sea, with so many facilities. and including a beach! the rooms are BIG too. 4 a room. there are 2 queen size beds in the room for students and a king size bed for teachers. the tour guide also brought us to have a look at the executive suite, which we nicknamed the ES. its so freaking big and cozy, and the bed is a freaking 4 poster bed =O. the whole room is bigger than a 3 or maybe a 4 room flat man. walked around the facilities and the conference rooms we are going to have our reflection time, lunch/dinner, and maybe a real conference for leaders and teachers. and then we headed off to the orphanages.


fyi, the orphanages we're going to are located in east batam, where cjc's ocip have never been conducted before. and the resort we're going to be staying in has never been used by cj people before. so our batch of 3 classes are considered to be quite unique =D


first orphanage, Al Fateh Orphanage.
quite run down, and needs A LOT of construction if we choose this orphanage to do our ocip in.
second orphanage, Darul Falah Orphanage.
its facilities are quite good compared to the first one. and its campus is quite big too. main thing we have to do here is to paint, redecorate/furniture, and provide educational materials.
third orphanage/primary school, 08 primary school.
if ocip is conducted here it would be freaking slack. our job is just to interact and do stuff with the kids, and to provide educational stuff and anything we can donate lol.


took a lot of notes down, and then we headed to the hardware shop to ask for prices if we were to buy equipment. it was so confusing because all their prices were in THOUSANDS. like: uncle, how much is this? small one 15k big one 30k. took a little while to get used to haha.


then it was back to the resort for high tea, beehoon, chicken wings, kuehs, more kuehs, and fruits. not forgetting TEA of course lolol. then it was back to the ferry terminal. had a little free time so we headed to some store, bought DOVE conditioner, shampoo soap, tooth brush, and some tidbits hahaha, SO CHEAP. one freaking toothbrush costs only 80 cents. and the gatsby wax costs less than A BUCK. O.O back to the ferry, and another 1 hour ride back to singapore. was so glad to get away from the rocking and suaying of the ferry lol. headed to the hawker centre with matthew augustine and edmund for dinner and then cab back home.


batam ROCKED!


hope edmund can recover the remaining photos we took in batam though. i need them for presentation to the class.


***


didnt go training in the morning for today, and had to skip chem tuition because of the friendly. headed down to school at 4 plus for the friendly match against ACJC. as usual, the moment i saw my coach, it was MARCUS! HELP ME TAKE THE BROOM TO SWEEP THE WET FLOOR! so, it was saikang again lol. i volunteered to be score keeper, cos i wasnt feeling so well. and i dont get to play even if im well anyway lol.


our team was on form today! esp matthew and ruipeng lol. imbal play. and in the end we won them 68-56 =DD. happy as hell. went for dinner with jarvis and joshua at macs.


***


saw this fucking kid in macs.


he had a burger, fries and a large coke. and only he was eating, his younger sister and his mum was looking at him eat. when his sister and mum wanted to take his coke to drink, he freaking shouted at them. translated from chinese: dont drink my coke lah, go toilet drink tap water lah, ITS FREE. some fucker, and when his mum tried to talk to him he took out his handphone, crossed his leg, shaked his leg, and called his father, and complained to his father that his mum and sis were trying to take his coke, and why cant they go buy their own coke must take his coke like WTF. PLS LAH U FUCKING SON OF A BITCH. HOW CAN YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER LIKE THAT?! furthermore his mother did not do SHIT.


cant insult him anyway, i was once as bad to my mum as him. but only because my mum was that bad to ME. moreover i've been thinking a lot of my mum recently. since my parents divorced, my mum wanted my father to pay a maintenance of 50 bucks a month to her. i mean, WHAT FOR?! I THINK THE ONE WHO NEEDS MAINTENANCE IS MY FATHER BECAUSE HE IS FEEDING ME NOW. and what the fuck can you do with 50 bucks every month? my father asked for a deal, the 50 bucks can be given to me every month instead, but she said NO. my father has missed all payments to her because i forgot to tell her about my father's negotiation as i was supposed to tell my mother about it. i begged my mum to forgive my father. but she said no matter what, my father still has to pay what my father owed her. i mean, THATS 1K PLUS! MORE THAN A HALF A MONTH'S SALARY! my father still agreed anyway, heart pain. and she added another sentence: at least if anything happens, i can blame your father for not paying maintenance to me. LIKE FUCK YOU, I THINK YOU FORGOT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE THE ONE WHO BETRAYED OUR FAMILY, AND THAT NOW I TREASURE MY FATHER MORE THAN YOU. FUCK YOU AND ALL YOUR KINDNESS IN THE PAST 3 YEARS TRYING TO WIN MY TRUST BACK BECAUSE ITS ALL GONE NOW. to conclude:


im not calling you mum anymore so,
to my mother: i HATE you.


***


sorry bro.
a lot of things in my mind just now, i owe u a lot man lol.

COMMON TESTS ARE OVER.


this year everything feels so weird. when its time to celebrate and play we dont feel like it, when its time to study we ALSO dont feel like it. common tests are OVER but i dont seem to feel a THANG.


after maths CT, went with the class to shaw house for pepper lunch! it was great, but not the MONEY though T_T hung around shaw house and went up to lido because the rest except nat ryan jiaxin and i wanted to watch a movie. yep, cos we have TRAINING. zz. and yeah, 2.30 was their movie, but edouard lost his wallet so they were late. poor thing, went back alone to school for training after that.


training today made it seem like any normal day suddenly. today's was tough though, luckily the weather was cool, gave a big boost to my stamina. =D starting was fast break and all. and then 2 sets of suicide killed us all lol. free throw, set triangle, 3v3, 5v5. coach bad mood today or something, scold us for everything zz. and after all that shit we still have to run 3 rounds around the school like O M G. coach told us of ANOTHER FRIENDLY MATCH WITH ACJC next monday. like wtf, because our training is in the morning, and then we have to come back during noon for the friendly in our school. dumb shitz. so my holidays is literally ALL GONE.


went to one of tp's coffeeshop to eat after that, and we talked cock like nobody's business haha. looks like i'll be spending time with all of my bball mates for the whole of next week lolol.


and oh yeah, A Divisions will be brought forward to SUPER EARLY, so it would start on the first day which school reopens. we'll be facing against these schools:


TJC

a hundred million bucks?
a luxurious condo?
a job which pays 10k a month?
straight As for A Levels?
the perfect boyfriend or girlfriend?


sometimes its the little things in life that matter.


a piece of chocolate,
a complement,
a hug,
or even just a smile.


spread the happiness, spread the joy


because this doesnt last forever.

right now i yearn for it.





Monday, March 09, 2009 9:29 PM







mug mug mug


hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha


thats what i thought of today's GP and Physics =D


not that it was easy, neither could i do the papers, i just felt so numb lol. like: fail ah? fail lor. that type of feeling lol.


and i had to tahan the pain coming from a broken nail in my left foot the whole day, i guess that probably played a part in my numbness.


edmund joined chem tuition! today's lesson was alright, just that the usual gentle voice from the teacher never fails to enable us to feel damn sleepy. but i understood more on ionic equilibra at least.


the bus ride home was the best also. the weather was cold, i put on my jacket like a blanket, and slept throughout. NICE MAN. hope this cold weather keeps up lol.


pictures from last week:








slack/study day tmr





12:00 AM

glhf for common tests


peace out.

i think that those people campaigning for free hugs are admirable


and inspirational.


spreading love through hugs, in this modern, fast paced, stressful society. when your friends or some people may just think that you're idiotic, you're pervertic, you're retarded. see the link?


i admire that courage.


who among us, can gather up the courage to put up that sign, to hug any random stranger, or even your friend? in this conservative society around us, the free hugs campaign seems almost impossible. but those videos of free hugs on youtube just made my day.


so..
FREE HUGS FTW!





12:09 AM


celebrated siyuan's birthday in school yesterday, before the collection of chinese A level results. LOL she got epicly caked, up down left right, and i was the one who started the caking. i told capri: eh capri, caking starting liao, take video ;) den i CAKED muahahah. gave sy a card, a stick for her hair, evian (lol), a rabbit plushie shared with edouard and a cute film camera shared with clarine clement ryan and benjamin haha.

yay
im screwed for CTs!

=D


who wants to join me?





Wednesday, March 04, 2009 10:43 PM


Quoted from ChongMei's Blog:


"Happiness is not given. Nobody has the right to happiness. Look under the UN Declaration of Human Rights and you’ll find that none of the articles state that everyone should be happy. Nobody is entitled to happiness. Just like on CNY or on Valentine’s Day, it doesn’t mean that everyone WILL be happy. Happiness breaks as easily as a thin piece of thread.


So happiness is not a right. But it doesn’t mean you cant receive it from another living thing. Thats why i love gifts. not for the superficial value but for the love that the giver puts into it."


we have a superb writer in our midst.
nothing i can argue against here (:





10:04 PM





carl and his epic "amputated arm" act, hahaha


today's lessons were ultimately boring, and i was so tired. i woke up today feeling that i never slept at all -.- felt sick too, with all the running nose and headaches. decided to take a one hour nap during break. worked wonders really (:


thanks clarine for the oreo!!





made my day =D


***


cross country was nice! haha, really felt as though that the distance was even shorter than 2.4 O.o maybe because of the environment, no need to see the same old track lol. ran halfway, saw yuen chi, walked with him while i waited for ed and ben to catch up. suddenly saw them sprinting towards me, so i sprinted with them hahaha, and all the way through finishing line. milo was nice as hell. but SWEET.


javis came in 10th, ryan 8th and azman 2nd! good job guys really! esp ryan, he pushed himself all the way man. edmund, 20th plus plus, and chong mei 55th! haha, siyuan no position but good job! and all the bball guys too lol.


walked back to sch, bathed, and headed to siglap to find a barber to cut our hair. found the barber in siglap centre so ed went first, his hair is EPIC FUNNY LOL. didnt want to cut mine, cos that guy's cutting style wasnt to my liking, going back to my 10 dollar shop at parkway tmr (:


are you gonna finish strong?

Tuesday, March 03, 2009 10:06 PM


whatever man


be that way.





Monday, March 02, 2009 9:40 PM


last week for us to study for CTs, so i think i can call this the mugging week? the problem is, THERE IS NO TIME TO MUG AT ALL.


i reached home today at 9.10 from bball training. theres chem tuition tmr, X country on wednesday, thursday my only free day, and friday bball training? i hope bball training cancels.


night study is nono for me.


any o how, i've planned out my studying pattern this week already. hope i can follow it.


bball training was freaking slack today.
shooting halfway when lightning was epicly scary. all ccas had to stop lol. then just did some PT and dismissal. im in the school team! there are 16 people in the team, including 4 extras which are acting as reserves and im one of the 4. and the 4 of us only have to get one jersey haha. but coach says this team is not confirmed, so i still have to work hard to retain my place.


hope school this week wont be so hectic, at least when i reach home i still can have the mood to study a little more. lol


no stress no stress.
