Footprints at Anfield

2008-11-15T19:34:00.001-08:00

WOW! LONG TIME SINCE I LAST UPDATED!

my holidays so far sucked. everybody has gone for oip, which means i am so damn bored at home. my time has been spent slacking around, wasting my life. haiz. next year is gonna be a big year. maybe i should start preparing or at least complete my chinese hw.

the past year has been quite screwed up. firstly, academics. my grades srsly sucked (no suanning). if you have seen my report card, it is my EOYs which pulled me down a lot. should my gpa be based on CA alone, i would hve gotten a 3.6 and now my eoys pulled my gpa down to a 3.47. haiz. but i have been quite lucky. (despite being not affected by moderation)

history - 71
ss- 74
bio- 73
emath- 70
amath- 65
physics- 65

but i have also been unlucky.

chinese - 79 (super wasted. this is my only subj which i have a 90-100 percentile for)
chem- 78
english- 69

haiz.sian.haiz.sian

dunno want to talk anymore. shall vomit out what i want to say about liverpool's recent games.

very happy that keane had broken his duck and that torres is slowly but surely coming back to top form. i think keane do not fit into the team. if he plays in the second striker role, then gerrard would have to drop back. this means mascherano or alonso would not play and the partnership between torres and gerrard would not be fully used, which would be kind of a waste.

the carling cup match was the most reatrded match i have ever seeen liverpool played in. they defended like a bunch of school kids. three of the goals was due to dossena's poor manmarking and the backline is simply too slow to deal with fast strikers. spurs are so gonna to be doomed when they come to anfield. degen simply sucked, i dunno wad to say abt him. he cannot defend or attack, and the worst is he just got another injury.-.- now come to think of it, arbeloa and aurelio are much more decent full backs then the summer buys of dossena and degen. notes that i use the word 'decent'. hope i wish skrtel comes back.

i find agger damn funny. he is a joker who gets all kinds of weird injury. first, in the losss to tottenham, somehow he could fall and dislocate his finger. and the treatment he received was just wrapping two of his fingers together such that they do not fall apart. then against bolton yesterday, he slid in to try to prevent gardner from scoring into an open goal but end up hitting his leg on the post which means his knee rebounded backwards. and what happened was his knee went right through his teeth and it dropped off. lololol.

LIVERPOOL FTW.

my birthday is in 2.5 weeks time, 6 dec. and the 3 days before that would be ripb camp and the day after that i am flying off to a short trip to shenzhen, hong kong and macau. wow. so wont be around for that period, bye,

2008-10-28T00:00:00.000-07:00

argh today is a bad day. haiz. To get back your results is something which is never easy, at least for me. haiz.

Note: This is what I feel and have no intention of suanning or whatever negative forces might / can accuse me of.

History: Did not expect myself to screw up but did. Still managed to maintain 3.6 though.
SS: Knew i would screwed up and did. Still scraped 3.6
Bio: Utterly screwed up. haiz. once again, i lost my focus on my last paper, which proved to be a major obstacle for me since my primary school life. somehow, i still got 3.6
Chem: The only subject worth rejoicing. My science has always been sucky but i was quite confident for this paper. and surprisingly, i got 2 bonus marks and a full-mark Section C. but still, my chem gpa remains at 3.6

English, Chinese, Physic and Math to go! hope i can do well in english and chinese. as for math and physic, i just hope to maintain my 3.6, which is quite difficult. haiz.

also, when we got back our marks, I realised that 3P is FULL of negative forces. it is either they are suanning people on purpose or that they are too stupid to realise that they are making others feel emo. you should know who you are, unless you are too stupid to even know.

But, on a brighter note, LIVERPOOL PWNED CHELSEA! ok, not pwn but won. i was super happy, they have been playing with so much discipline in their defence such that i am confident they could challenge for the title. *cross fingers* Portsmouth next for the slaughter! also, i hit a record 82 points for my Fantasy Premier League Team. wow. how pro / tyco can that be! i put robinho as my captain and he scored a hat trick, earning me 34 points. what was tycp about this team is that i replaced reina with gordon as i felt chelsea have a higher chance of scoring as compared to newcastle. but in the end, sunderland conceded and liverpool did not. but heng, gordon was injured and reina got automatically subbed into my team and he contributed 6 points to my 82-point haul!

tmr shall be a happier day. sometimes we need a bit of luck in life...

2008-10-24T05:36:00.000-07:00

what i did today wasn kind of rushed/ Yet, it was quite fun XD.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I GOT A MUSCLE ACHE ON MY LEGS JUST THROUGH PLAYING PING PONG! (lol. not as bad as guan lin though)

well, me, gifford, alvin and chin jie went for a movie at cathay t 1220pm. erm, we chose 'High School Musical', which was a hasty decision. not to say it sucks totally, but i think this movie wouls be more appropriate for those who really appreciate music and dance. haha. coz there was simply no plot at all. maybe a little. we were super late. ok, we missed the advertisements and the starting of the shoe, due to our brilliant choice of eating our lunch just 20 mins before the start of the movie. lol, in the theatres, we were continuously joking that the actors would have random spasms to begin singing all of a sudden. nevertheless, it was not a bad movie with some humour here and there. yea.

after the movie, chinjie had to for judo while me,gifford and alvin went to bishan mrt to meet guan lin before we all proceeded to my (noob, but i still like it) house. On the way, we did super random stuff that you could not have imagined. thinking of it, i cannot help but laugh. first, we decided to challenge our physical abilities. the person who stumbles first in the train loses. haha lol. i was supposed the winner, theoratically, since i had a lower CG. However, science can be wrong sometimes. haha. but it is quite easy to stand in a train without holding anything. haha. especially for those who often takes the train. Not for me though. (I take a bus home everyday. XD). then, chinjie used my phone to suan guan lin over buckley house. haha. hope buckley can reach greater heights under GL> but hullet still FTW.

to alvin, GL and gifford, sorry if my house sucks. haiz. i must think of ways to make it more attractive. lol. we basically played xbox there. gifford owning in halo 2, having a neutral competition in winning eleven. but it was the game which gifford brought which made us feel very hyped up. i forgot what is the name. sianz, super short term memory. it is a damn guai lan game, but it is its retardness that make it damn funny. shall not elaborate more cuz i am still laughing. XD.

Quote of the day: "This is worse than giving birth" Guan Lin on wearing his shoes. *He has muscle ache all over his body*

2008-10-23T04:42:00.000-07:00

After a long long time, I am back! haha. i hope my blog had rested well.

today was a cool day. it was interhouse b div table tennis! and to my horror, when i reached there, i realised i could not even hold my bat properly. ahhhhh. after my trip to vietnam, i had not touched the ping pong bat for a long time. i had forgotten how to smash, how to slice, how to return and more importantly, how to serve! in short, i suck now and ewan suans me. lol.

anw due to my incapability in playing table tennis, i decided not to take the risk by insisting for playing for hullet. to all moorians, i am sorry that i had use the round againdt moor to test out my table tennis strokes. heng ah. i did not screw the team up. lolz. me and choeng won the doubles against suwe and some other guy. but then again, if it was a few months ago, i would have played ten times better. haiz.

but hullet got second for ping pong. credit goes to our imba team of chi, zheng yang, aloy, sheng wei, xinyan, cheong, zhao kai (haha lol you beat michael. i bet he give you chance), jarrod and me XD. lolz.

hullet did not fare too well in the others sports. we got 4th for softball and badminton but 2nd for rugby. woohoo. and from there, i found out that micah dislocated his shoulder. haiz. probably due to this hardcore nature? anw rest well , our hockey captain!

and liverpool. sadly, drew in their champs league game. the ref sucks. fullstop. nothing else to say. looking forward to the sunday game against chelsea. LIVERPOOL FTW.

2008-10-08T23:46:00.000-07:00

11 DAYS TO END OF EOYS! JIAYOU EVERYONE! WE CAN DO IT!

I think the first thing I am going to do after EOYS is buy / download fifa 09. who can help / follow me? haha. planning ahead. but must not get distracted. distractions are extremely irritating!!!

haiz. i am so sad that i dun hve a single 4.0, with bio being the nearest to reach that goal at 79. amazingly though, most of my subjects are at 3.6, with the exception of English and Math. I cannot get 3.2 for math! it is double weightage! going to practice and practice and practice!! meanwhile, tmr signals the start of EOYS, SS and English Paper. good luck to all sec 3s. probably going to sleep early tonite. For me, to do well in tests, i cannot suffer from the lack of sleep or my mind would simply go blank and i would not be able to concentrate on the paper which I am doing.

well, ultimate mugging period now. why do the other schools finish much earlier than us? that is so sad. maybe we were compensated to the additional one week hols during apcg. But i rather did not have it. haiz. just remembered, i felt damn scam-ed to find out the photocopying 2 chaps of physic book = $1.60 at printing shop, while photocopying 6 chaps at a shop near my house cause $7. omg. i wasted like $2.20 of my money! anw thanks ted for lending me!

the prefect exco 09 was announced today. to those who had gone in, congrats. Although i personally have a mixed feelings regarding the EXCO of 2009, but I shall not say it. Jiayou EXCO 09! Bring RIPB to greater heights! On a side note, I would like to change department in HR. I want be in internal welfare! lol.

ooh. one more thing. mr george tan, our x (x is a number) math teacher, came back to wish us well for our exams today. that was so nice of him. If you all did not know, he had uindergone an op and would only be back next week. he looked really hagged, with beard growing over and skinnier, from his stay in the hospital. Hope he gets well sooon!

thats all for now. the next time i would be posting would probably be after EOYS! So rest well, blog!

I feel sorry for Benitez!

2008-10-05T07:58:00.001-07:00

What the heck is Benitez doing? Liverpool is currently 2-0 down to Manchester City. Instead of keeping a winning team and a scoring Robbie Keane, he drop Keane and put in mascherano instead. At first, i thought it was a good plan but manchester city are putting so many people behind the ball and ti is difficult to break thorugh with that sort of formation since most of the time, the ball will be in their own half. One other thing, why is Babel doing on the bench? I seriously hopes he comes on at half time for dirk kuyt. Yes, kuyt might be hardworking but to break down a defence like manc's, you need a moment of skill and brilliance to do that. All of the time in the first half, riera is doing all the attacking work while kuyt mainly passes the ball back when he gets the ball. haiz. And another thing, i would rather benitez play a 3-man backline of skrtel agger and carragher than put aurelio / dossena and arbeloa there. They work hard but they are just not fast enough. hope liverpool put off a better performance in the second half. :)

Mugging Weekend looms ahead

2008-10-03T00:55:00.000-07:00

Mugging weekend looms ahead. haiz. I will try to cover as much as possible. I try. Why are other's schools exams earlier than ours? After all, the ealier eoy ends, the better it is. Probably due to the fact that other schools need to accomodate O Levels Sec 4 students. Then, when they finish their last paper, it would be time for us to begin. How they would like to suan us. sianz.

For the entire day, I slacked around in the Vietnam booth. thanks to kwang yi for the poster. I really like the jump shot thingy. it looked damn cool. How I wish I could go for OIP again! I really look forward to a RLP chalet in the hols. Gifford and I discussed if it was possible to carry it out in boarding. lol. after all, we could all squeeze into 3 rooms. lol. like what we used to do. haiz. I missed those times. But we realised it is not really possible. First, it is $165 per week per person, which is not that cheap or rather as compare to what we paid for 4 weeks ($68). Secondly, boarding is quite strict. If we only have 3 rooms, it would mean only 6 people has access cards, which means the other people are, theoratically, not supposed to enter. lol haiz but who cares?

After school, me, wu, ewan and roys went to library to 'mug' coz the imba wu has math question to ask the imba roys. Then, Wu got so engrossed in mugging that he did not see that his wallet drop. lol. you should see how wu looked when he realised it was gone. Bascially, he had spasms everywhere. aiya, then ewan saw the wallet with me and told wu. Or else Wu would go around the library finding it. haha. that would be quite funny.

Bubble Tea was nice again. then me and wu got into a mini spitting-ice match. It may be childish but it is quite fun. lol.

haiz. they remind me of times with rlp 1, where we did all the retarded stuff together. nvm. eoys first. bye.

I am addicted to zhen zhu nai cha (milk tea with pearls)

2008-10-02T05:32:00.001-07:00

Who want to go with me tmr to buy Milk Tea with Pearls? I am addicted to it! lol.

Liverpool vs PSV
To Robbie Keane: Im sure you took so long to score!!! But, now the goals will flow from you!
To Torres: Score at least one every game!
To Gerrard: Baik Hundred!
To Kuyt: champs league pro!

I have to say I am quite impressed by Liverpool's improving performances this season! EPL and Champs League, all the way!

haiz. I feel quite emo today, because of something someone said. So emo till I went to sleep and mug very little stuff. Fail! Never mind! Tmr shall be hardcore mugging! Actually, if you see the completion of a topic as an achievement, you will find mugging very fulfilling! lol.

I have a few trademarks. One of them *clap hand*"relax. chill'. Ask Kenneth Kuan (flicker)/ Jonathan Lim (lol face,joking.)

Why did I have this sudden urge for blogging?

2008-09-30T08:49:00.000-07:00

I bet I had some random muscle spasm in my fingers which made me so enthusiastic about blogging all of a sudden. lol. This is my third post in a day! How incredible is that! well, tomoro's hari raya, which means a 'holiday' for us. I guess many of us would spend this time mugging at home. haiz. how I wish eoy would come and go more quickly.

tonight is the second round of champions league group stage. Liverpool will be playing tomoro night against PSV, I think and hope they can own that dutch club by at least 3-0. gerrard to get his 100th goal, keane to break his duck and torres to maintain his scorng form... now back to mugging again! and I need to cut my hair. :)

mug and study are completely different terms. 'mug' refers to learning because of the sake of doing so, which involves an element of being forced. 'study' refers to learning because of an interest in it. wow, what a world of difference.

EOYs in 10 days. OMG!

Last Day of DMP...

2008-09-30T04:01:00.000-07:00

Today was the last day of DMP, which also means that EOYs are drawing nearer. Oh No! But never mind, the earlier EOYs end, the better it is.

Well, now looking back at the DMP period, I somewhat regretted choosing a slack module instead of one which might be more interesting. Nevertheless, I found the history module 'Learning acedemic theories through games' quite fun. But, one thing I heard which is of an advantage of my classis that Mr Aguss gives us lots of playing time, as compared to the other teachers, especially, Mrs Ang. Too Bad! The Finnancial Literacy course was quite worthless to be honest. The one and only thing I liked about it is the game at the last session. Bascially, we have $500 000 cash at hand and we had to decide on what investments to make, what type of house to buy and what insurance would be more useful etc. In the end, the group with the highest net worth would win. My group, which includes Bong, Zaki and Bryson (XD), bought a condominium and a few lots of share to invest on at the start. When the condominium price rose the next month by 400 k, we decided not to sell it, which was a real damn waste. And, we should have bought more shares at the start! Never mind, lol, when we grow up, we would invest togther. Right, zaki? lol

well well, it is time to mug now. will post about other stuff in the near future XD

*I have to say that this holidays would be fun!

New Blog

2008-09-30T02:55:00.000-07:00

Hope this blog will last this time around!!!
