Today is the last day of SCHOOL!! Goodbye friends, goodbye teachers and most importantly, GOODBYE SCHOOL!!!! I would never ever let the extra lessons during the holidays stop me from getting extremely happy over this!! BTW, my class got the BEST CLASS AWARD!!! WOOTS!! And contratulations to Hamizah and Nigel for winning the selfless and courageous awards respectively!! 3B GOGOGO!!!

I got back from the Youth Rally 2008 on saturday with this song still in my head! It's one of the loveliest song I ever heard! Amen!!

WOOTS!!! EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

Well, nothing much here but i realised that I had failed my physics and chamistry. It was just a gut feeling but well, best not to ignore it right??

OK. Now I am sort of thinking of dropping physics and chemistry. Maybe taking it as combined science.

THE TROUBLE TREE

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work. His electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a tall tree, touching tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed with smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.

"Oh, that's my trouble tree" he replied. "I know that I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure. Troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I get home. Then in the morning I pick them up again.

"Funny thing is," he smiled, "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there ain't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."

My neighbour's doing some renovation next door... so it's gonna get loud here...

Oh ya, just want to relate to you an incident that happened today. I was walking home from school and stopped by a famous ice cream parlour "Macdonalds" at lot one to buy an ice cream to eat while walking home. The lady behind the counter gave me a dirty look as if I am not welcome to the shop. And worst still! She went about doing her work very very slowly and when I handed her the money she put it into the cash register EVER... SO... SLOWLY... and handed me the change EVER... SO... SLOWLY...!!!

By then I was really pissed off with the lady at the counter and couldn't enjoy my ice cream.

I really don't want to see that lady again! she ruins peoples' moods! ARGH!!

Happy National Day to all singaporeans!!

I crapped real bad today. During the parade in school. Really. Argh!T_T

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains.

Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"

He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"

The voice answers: "I admire you!"

Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"

He receives the answer: "Coward!"

He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"

The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"

The voice answers: "You are a champion!"

The boy is surprised, but does not understand.Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.It gives you back everything you say or do.Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.

If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart.

If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence.

This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!

This year's ATC was so UNEVENTFUL!! On the first day, it rained. The whole day. When the rain stopped, we were only able to do 1 activity (treasure hunt) for the day before going back to the NPCC campsite. Pitch tent, blablabla and all boring stuff. Worse still, only I, and a guy, Tai Yong went for the camp.And Tai Yong is to go home on the evening of the second day, which makes me the only sec three in the camp then. T_T.

Day two. Woke up at 5.30am for PT(Physical training). Halfway through, (you know PT very tough lah) I got myself excused, making an excuse that I had headache and feel giddy(which actually I don't have=p). So I ask to go to the sick bay and the ppl there told me to sleep. So I am able to catch up on my sleep while others do their activities, but i did not miss out on a lot because apparantly, it rained while I was sleeping!And it rained and rained and rained non stop till the evening when the rain stopped and everyone was able to do jetty jump(jumping from a three metre board to the ocean below).

... ...

Ahem. I had my first experience last year during my swimming goldstar test and that was so hellish!! I swallowed lots of water! After jetty jump was bathtime. then dinner, then campfire. I guess I really screwed up in front of the sec twos in my school but that was fine. Everyone makes mistakes right? right? *stares at audience guitily*

Next was group debriefing. my group, Batu consists of students from CCK sec, Unity sec, Regent Sec, Kranji Sec and Teck Whye sec. We all reflected on what we did in the day's activities and give our comments about the group. Oh ya, i forgot to introduce Mam Siti from Teck Whye Sec. She's our group leader. After group debrief I got back to my school and we had unit debriefing. After that was tent sweet tent.

Day three. IT DID NOT RAIN AT ALL!!!! the day was perfect for all our camp activities! But that day was wasted on area cleaning and photo taking before we retire to our homesT_T

And you know what? when I got home, my bro told me that he did not record Liao Zhai at 7.00pm on saturday but instead recorded the 7.30pm show from channel U, The Legend. I had absolutely no interest in that show! except for the crown prince in the show lah (but that's because he's handsome only).

oh, and my OBS application (NPCC one not school one) was rejected cos I handed it in late and a lot of people wanted to go for this camp (yah, it's the holidays, so...). I don't mind, because being in Pulau Ubin is just so tough! Don't worry, everyone, i am back in one piece!:)

Hey:). I have just transferred the photos of the Pahang trip. The trip was so fun!! Love it!!

1am. It's a snore fest as our young campers, exhausted from the day's activities, gets a good rest.
A picture I took of the malaysia train station while waiting for the train. The train actually came later than the expected time, making us wait for 2hours++!!!Another snooze fest! This time it doesnt only involve two people...
...but the whole class.
Me and my companion for this trip, Hamizah. I really do hate the way the camera could capture other people so perfectly... all except for me.
