I Need Sushi! And other Shenanigans.

So common tests ended today. Chinese was very hard. I'm hoping to pass. Maths was really easy, I just hope I don't get careless. Chemistry SPA was not bad. Although I did screw up the first part. But i manage to recover on time.

So anyway, after that was suppose to go Sakae sushi for buffet at 3. So we had around 2 hrs to spare. And Josiah didn't wanna go cause he alrdy had sushi the day before. And so we didn't go in the end. So instead, i wanted to watch the Mummy with Andre and Jerald and Shaun. But cause Josiah had the free tickets, and he was gonna use them for the Mummy, i couldn't go. So sad. :'(

I was so looking forward to today. We were suppose to have SUSHI!!!!. And instead, I decided to go back to school and work on my SGCC game with Josiah. And being nice, i let andrew in the infocomm room, which is a really nice air conditioned room, with a couch and all, to let him lie down and slack while we do our work, cuz he had nothing to do. And instead he was being a bloody immature guy irritating us, and seeking attention by doing the stupidest of things, like touching one of my juniors's keyboard which resulted in his thumb drive being removed and causing them to lose their work data which they were working on. Then he went to step on a few important stuff that i told him not to step on and stuff. I'm not angry with him, but just a little irritated. You get the picture. I couldn't get anything done.

And me going to sakae with Andre i think spun off a little "thing" between Arvind. I dunno. But I can say this : It's not I dun wanna hangout with you guys, but Arvind, you don't eat sushi, and i have been planning this for like a week alrdy. I was just angry cause everything was called off. And pissed that my "post exam" day was left to doing work in the infocomm room while everyone went out to watch a movie. It's just abit irritating when your plans are canceled due to severely unforeseen circumstances. And besides I still hangout with you all. Its just its harder cuz u guys are not as free. Believe me when i say this : I am not "drifting" apart. Trust me.

Common Tests, Sentosa Plans.

Common Tests day 1 over. Physics SPA was quite a breeze. I guess its because of all the practices that we’ve been having. I think i screwed up the History part of combined humans. and English was quite tough. I don’t have a good feeling. Been studying the whole day today. I’m now waiting for my pizza for dinner. Maths is tomorrow and so it chinese and chem spa. For maths i’m not too worried but more for chinese and chem SPA. sigh.

Then on Monday we are supposed to go for Sakae Sushi buffet. Can’t wait. But we also want to make use of Josiah’s Bday Free tickets, which we got because of a cock up with the cinema over our seats.

We should be going to Sentosa on the 8th, but might have to change the date. sigh. sigh sigh.

Ok, I need to go back to revising! lol.

The Present


I want to share a book i just read. It's a self improvement book. Titled The Present by Spencer Johnson. I had to do this review for class. So i might as well share it here. I really think this book really is great.



The Present by Spencer Johnson

What exactly is the present? I had to read the whole book to truly understand what it was. However, I’m going to summarize all different lessons learnt in the book The Present.

The Present is not the past!

It isn’t the future.

The Present is the Present Moment!

The Present Is Now!

You create your own present by what you give your attention to. The present, can be anything you want it to be. It could be a Soccer match, relationships, friendships, or you work. You can decide how you want the present to be.

Even In the most difficult situations, When you focus on what is right in the present moment, it makes you happier.

It gives you the needed energy and confidence to deal with what is wrong.

Three ways to fully utilize your present moment!

Be In the Present

Focus on what is right now. Determine your purpose.

Use your purpose to respond to what is important now.

Learn From The Past

Look at what happened in the past.

Learn something valuable from it.

Do things differently in the present.

Plan for the future

See what a wonderful future would look like.

Make plans to make it happen.

Put your plan into action in the present.

These, to me are the most important values I have learnt from reading The Present and I feel that if we fully understand it, it can make us successful. To end off,

Success is becoming who we are capable of being.

And progress towards worthwhile goals.

Each of us define for ourselves what it means to be successful.

Here is what they say about me...

About the ENFP

"They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives."
"ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it."
- Portrait of an ENFP (The Personality Page)

"Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone, especially on a regular basis."
- ENFP Profile (TypeLogic)
"outgoing, social, disorganized, easily talked into doing silly things, spontaneous, wild and crazy, acts without thinking..."
- ENFP Jung Type Descriptions (similarminds.com)

ENFPs are values-oriented people who become champions of causes and services relating to human needs and dreams. Their leadership style is one of soliciting and recognizing others' contributions and of evaluating the personal needs of their followers. ENFPs are often charismatic leaders who are able to help people see the possibilities beyond themselves and their current realities. They function as catalysts."
- ENFP - The Visionary (Lifexplore)

"Ranked 1st of all 16 types in using social and emotional coping resources and 2nd in using cognitive resources. "
- ENFP Facts (discoveryourpersonality.com)



Just took a personality test. I think last time I was a ENTJ or something like that.
The results, i feel are so scarily accurate that it totally describes me...


Anyway, got picked to the soccer team in school. Things are going okay for now i guess. Thanks Arvind for reassuring me. Soccer looks to be fun but must put in commitment and must push myself during S&C.

2 Tests coming up next week, the Wimbledon finals suspended now, due to rain. they gonna put in a roof next year so no need to suspend if there is rain.

Anyway gonna spend youth day 2moro at a movie and then futsal! Maybe i'll take some pictures. haha.

Went to Sentosa last week for some social etiquette class and later class bonding. damn fun! haha. pictures...pictures...











Thats all for now...

John Mayer - Say

John Mayer wrote the song Say for the movie The Bucket List featuring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.
Blue-collar mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) and billionaire hospital magnate Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) meet for the first time in the hospital after both have been diagnosed with cancer. They become friends as they undergo their respective treatments.

Both are diagnosed with a year or less to live. Carter begins writing a "bucket list," or things to do before "he kicks the bucket." After hearing he has less than a year to live, Carter wads it up and tosses it on the floor. Matthew comes in the next morning and picks it up with other things that are on the floor. Cole finds it among the items and reads it. Cole pushes Carter (by suggesting he add things like seeing the world, sky diving, "fun things," etc.), and promises to finance the trip, as he is very wealthy. Despite the protests of his wife, Virginia (Beverly Todd), Carter eagerly agrees.

So thats basically the gist of the movie. Its suppose to be a very touching movie. John Mayer said he cried after watching it. haha.

So here's the song off the movie.

The Boston Celtics Are Your 2007-2008 NBA Champions

Well Boston has done it again and I don't know what to say. There's not a single player on this team that you can hate (unless you're a Lakers fan) and you couldn't even really root against them (unless you're Jemele Hill). Screw all the particulars and stats....the Celtics put up 131 points (131!) and KG is certifiable. Let's get into the video....


Just a great way for arguably three of the best players to never win a title, to take solidify their greatness in the league. And oh yes...you're certified KG...but who the hell cares? Be as crazy as you want to be tonight. Congrats again Boston and be careful tonight....there's a full moon out there. Oh and what I said earlier about hating all of you.....you booed Stu Scott, so we're cool!

Update: Here's Garnett's post game press conference complete with a question from Scoop Jackson!


Celtics Raise Banner 17

When Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were traded to the Celtics, I didn't believe it. My 2 favourite players would be joining forces as one along with Paul Pierce to become the unstoppable big 3.

It started when my uncle bought me a Ray Allen jersey. He became my favorite player. And then I saw Garnett. The sheer determination to bring his team to the finals. He was my inspiration.
Having being a 12 time all-star and not having ever won a championship, it had to be time. 12 years he waited before he finally lifted the trophy. The emotions swept through me. I was happy for him. This was the reason i like Garnett. He never gave up his dream. I supported him for 8 years. And he never came close to winning it. I stuck by him and now i feel great. There is no word to describe it.

The Celtics deserved it. Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, James Posey, Eddie House. All of you guys own all. After coming back in game 4 from a 24pt deficit to win the game 97-91, showed me that impossible is nothing and that when i'm down at times, i will think of you guys and never give up no matter the circumstances. And here are the top 5 plays from that match!



Next on my list, Ray Allen Celtics Jersey! haha

Operation Clean Sweep

Started : 1149 hours
End: 1413 hours

Operation Clean sweep

Lolx. Cleared my table and filed all my work! Took me 2h+. Quite happy now that i've gotten all the work filed and my desk cleard. It was a rigorous 5 step process involving 1. Breaking down the pile. 2. sorting the stuff. 3. Filing the work 4. Getting rid of the thrash 5. Organize.


Step 1 : Break down

Step 2 : Sort The Stuff

Step 4: Taking Out The Thrash

Step 5 : Organize to make nice!

Finally: The end result

you can actually compare the diff. Lolx now i can start with the hw.
Sigh. I don't feel like doing it anymore after doing that filing and organizing. Sigh. The irony.

Now To Get Started

Oh wait, how the hell am I suppose to get started with this pile of crap on my desk??
It all started when it was after exams. I just piled all my textbooks and revision crap onto my desk.
Now its time to get started on the homework and, wait, there's no space to do it!


Its quite screwed up really. Now i just need a way to organize these things.

Worry Rock

Ever since the start of the year, In this new class a lot of things have been happening to me. So much friendship problems, one after the other.

I was making new friends. And my old friends, best friends thought i was spending too little time with them. I tried to fix it but i couldn't. Here's a song that will describe the situation now.

Another sentimental argument and bitter love.
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud.
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone.
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride.

A knocked down dragged out fight.
Fat lips and open wounds.
Another wasted night and no one will take the fall.

Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road.


But being, in my heart, still me best friends I placed them first before me. I was there for everyone of them when they had problems. Does that make it seem like i'm not their best friend? I've tried so much to fix all these problems. I make it a point to talk to them on the phone, go out with them, have lunch with them. But it never seemed to work. They can't accept the fact that in a friendship proccess, to build a new friendship takes time. So obviously making new friends take time and effort. and making this friendship strong takes even more time. So that's what i've been doing now. and i've been neglecting them. But as i said, i was still there for them when they needed me. Once this friendship proccess is done, then i can spend more time with them again. To me, they are still my best friends and when they are down i feel the same way too.

I just don't know the best way to fix this problem. I can't seem to fit everyone in the picture.
This song says everything i would do for my best friends. Even if i hate them at some point :


"Poprocks & Coke"

Wherever you go
You know I’ll be there
If you go far,
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere,
So I’ll see you there
You place the name
You know I’ll be there
You name the time
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere
So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I’ll be there for you

Where there’s truth
You know I’ll be there
Amongst the lies
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere
So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I’ll be there for you

If you should fall
You know I’ll be there
To catch the call
You know I’ll be there
I’ll go anywhere
So I’ll see you there

I don’t care if you don’t mind
I’ll be there not far behind
I will dare
Keep in mind
I don’t care
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you

I mean that in everyway possible. I have no idea at all. at all in my fucking idiotic head how to fix this problem.

Back From The Past, To The Present

For some reason, after reading back all the old posts, and remembering all the memories from the past, I've decided to start blogging again, and this time with an actual purpose; to write down notable things in my life, and to look back on them years on and laugh about it. Not for anyone but myself.

I'm gonna pick up from where I left off.

My birthday, although almost 2 weeks ago, was really interesting. Invited 18 people from my school. Although I didn't ask for any presents, the turnover was good. We played Foosball, and just hanged, played Xbox, chatted. Hoped everyone had fun... Here's what I got :

  • A Kevin Garnett Jersey
  • A Chelsea Jersey
  • A Rubik's Cube and a Weird Pen Holder
  • Command & Conquer III : Kane's Wrath
  • A Razor Death Adder Mouse
  • A Book
  • A Skinny Tie that resembles the one Green Day has.
  • AND THE BEST OF ALL, A 8.1 MP Olympus Waterproof and Shockproof cam from my parents! hahahaha.
Here are the pictures :











Meanwhile,

had some friend troubles recently, about me making new friends in my new class, and neglecting my best friends. Well all this was kinda total bullshit, cause they(my best friends) saw it the wrong way. Anyways, talked to Dilip and Josiah individually and sorted my differences with them, one more to do though, Claudie, but he is gonna be hard, since he is always so secretive about things. If he is so secretive about things how can I ever trust him? Thats the whole point here.

Liking my new class a lot. Think its got a good mix of people. Easy to talk to them, fun and friendly and most of them, helpful. Exams nearing again, this time its a gauge of my performance so far. 2 weeks left.

Targets :

English A1
Chinese C5-B4
Combined Humans A2-A1
Chemistry A1
Biology A1
Physics A1
A Maths A1
E Maths A!

Have to be confident about it. Although I need to buck up on Physics and Bio and A Maths and E Maths. Ran in the Track and Field Meet, inter class relays, came in 4th. wish they gave medals for 4th haha. Really need to start studying already, then can slack awhile during the hols. So far
Everyday has been a drag, its been School, Study, Sleep. the 3 dreaded S's Everyday coming back quite late, around 4-5pm.


Anyway, had Chem extra lessons today, was kinda slack, then after that went lunch with Solomon and Satya. Then it rained. Went home abit drenched...haha. The n slacked, did some work, and watched tv and played computer, then posting (now).

till next time,
So glad to be back. All this for the future.
