alright, today was a fucked up day. :D
geog lesson was the highlight of the day. some 4A ppl reported to the teacher that i cheated. wtf. why the f would i cheat? im not that result-crazy. this is the first f-ing time i ever got accused of cheating. wtf man. i got the highest in my class, together with 3 of my other classmates. but that doesnt mean i cheated. i was sitting all the way behind, how can anyone see me cheat even if i did? haiz. sometimes people just dont like you, or simply because they are jealous. sorry for sounding abit ego, but is it really wrong to do well? to those 4A bastards: next time you want to try and backstab somebody, make sure you backstab the correct guy, and not just some guy you find an eyesore. im sorry if i offended any of you if i did, but i dont think i deserve this shit. although this matter is resolved, fact remains that my geog teacher now has a bad impression of me. i think she still believes i cheated, just because some people claim that i cheated. so much for fairness in treatment of students. how am i supposed to attend geog lessons happily now. damnned geog.
english common test. our marker was damn strict with us. most of us got below 20/30, and i got 19. B4. wtf man. i havent gotten such shit grades for english common tests in a long time. when i went to the marker's class, i found out that majority of his class (which was marked by my english teacher) got above 20/30, and that class was supposed to be a weak class. wtf. screwed up my msg can. sengyew even failed la. how can anyone fail compo la. f that marker la.
and i found out that my overall score for chinese this term is 69.1% wtf why do i always get this kind of score. cant i just get like 0.4% more and get pushed up to A2.
on a brighter note, chemistry test today was relatively okay. hopefully i can do well. anyw thankfully chemistry was the first period of the day, or i'll have no mood to do it and most likely fail it. haiz.
soccer after school was fun at first, until people start being pissed at other people and spoiled the beautiful game.

spent the whole weekend at some funeral. my grandaunt passed away. dont worry people, im okay. we're not very close yeah. well, the main part of the whole funeral was the time at the crematorium, where we had to cremate the body. there was this room whereby we could see the coffin being pushed by a machine into the incinerator thing, and the process was very, very torturous. the females, being the sensitive ones, were crying and tearing. the guys were rather strong and only some teared. while we watched the coffin move, friends and relatives of the deceased were shouting out her name and telling her to move on and etc. i tried very hard to to hold back those tears. i wanted to tear not because i was feeling sad that the body was going to be cremated. i wanted to tear because of the pain everyone around me was feeling, the pain that death of a loved one has brought upon us. my grandmother was crying really badly, and i was so hurt by that scene that i wanted to cry it all out. but i managed to hold myself back, because of a promise i made.
this incident really made me realize, that human nature is really cruel. people never cherish what they have, often taking things/people for granted, and only begin to regret after losing that special someone. people dont live forever, and we should make full use of the time we have together in this world. when will this viscous cycle ever end?
with love<3.

saturday was fun, and kinda relaxed. soccer in the morning! that was the best part of the weekend. my form was superb and scored just too many screamers/ beautiful goals. couldnt believe it myself. haha. really enjoyed ourselves out there. poor keepers that were against my team, that had to conceed goals from me from halfcourt. sorry ppl. dont know how i scored those too. judo trng in morning as usual, slacked due to injury. fuck the shoulder injury. its been such a long time and yet it havent recovered. cost-ed me so much. went to coro for lunch as usual, and then to island creamery to stone. haha. kelly dion elaine was there too. so me and timo were playing psp (with me pwning him as usual) while david and jw were reading comics. the aim was to stone til 3 before going to sy's house. haha. nice, big place. with loads of stuff to do. played cs, dota, pool, wii and guitarhero3. crazy house yeah, so much shit to do. supposed to stay til 6, but time flies when you're having fun so we ended up leaving at 8. went for dinner at macs at serene centre after that. haha ate the higest calarie-d meal, mcchicken. god knows why its 2nd to only big mac. haha. after dinner, jw & i walked to adam road food court and wanted to take bus home. we were about to board when jw realised he left his wallet at macs. wtf. so we had to walk all the way back. haha. its okay though. didnt feel like going home anyway.
today was kinda shit. internal competition in the morning. went early to work and earned 10bucks. then it was our turn to fight. first bout. tay bo yuan. okay... supposed to be winable. was leading but lost in the end. not even rapencharge. paid 10$ for just 1 bout. haha. 1st competition that i actually only played 1 bout. LOSER EUGENE. haiz. screw me. how can i lost to someone lousier belt and younger. haiz. he's heavier though. but who cares, still lost. zibei like fuck. damn it. never felt so humiliated. damn my shoulder. cant it fucking recover. and i injured my knee in the process. what an added bonus. fuck it. rawr. went kap after that. it was fun though. was taidi-ing/winning and sir came to kap. haha. david was damn lagg. we saw sir and like 1hour later he was saying "eh sir's daughter is here ah". timo and i were like -.- lol. then we played 2 rounds of bridge with dion as well, and i was lucky with cards but i sucked at skills. lost both rounds. haha. taidi is more fun la. lol. blackjack's next. funny too. me and timo was even until the last round. when he bet $2 and i got a blackjack. he owes me 2$ now, muahaha. played with jingfang and my sis too. but only for 1 round. won both of them, and earned another $1. $5 in total! haha lucky day for blackjack. must be due to my shit luck during judo. haiz. being injured doesnt mean i can lose to an orange-belter/younger than me person. so being injured cant really make me feel better. yeah. anyway, hope my injury will recover soon. kinda sick of it. and please let my knee injury be a minor one. what i least need now is another major one. i guess i have to train extra hard after i recover, i dont want to be the one losing all the time. im not that win-obsessed, just dont want to keep losing, cause the feeling really sucks. yeah. maybe chosing to go to beijing was a right choice after all. judo can no longer be a concern to me i guess. not with such lousy performance like today. eugene the superloser.

keeping this blog is hard, haha. i cant really post often anymore. due to laziness. i used to dislike reading. now i dont anymore. i dont know why, but maybe books are good after all. not textbooks, storybooks. haha. i finished my autobiography of steven gerrard, and even wrote a zuowen about it. so proud of myself heh. i wonder what shit marks i'll get again. im reading tuesdays with morrie now. its actually a good book, but a little boring though, because of the hidden meanings behind everything. the book's about life lessons, which is kinda enriching. it sortof help me understand life a little bit more. bus rides home are now reading time and not sleeping time. ohno, im turning into a bookworm. haha. seriously. lol. eugene the nerd. yucks. imagine that. i forgot to close the window when it was raining and now my room is flooded and my stuffs are wet. so clever right. haha. took quite some time to clean up. zzz. i found out that books actually are really good in shaping one's character and gaining knowledge. reading gives us inspiration, and make us reflect upon our own actions, beliefs and feelings. tuesdays with morrie is thought to be a boring book with stupid content, but behind all these thoughts, i know there would be something to learn. as mr.tieu has said. going into everything in life, thinking that you'll surely learn something out of it, even if its only 1%. i totally agree with this statement. this might just be the motivation somebody needs to keep his life going, or just his studies or jobs. if we think that we wont learn anything out of it, then we would just give up. learning new things is important, even if its just 1%. thanks mr.tieu.

tmr marks the official start of school. the past week has been rather slack and most lessons were usually of introduction and review of the topics tested and blah. the thought of work piling up is terrible. lets see, geog teacher has alr given us the test date. hurray. first lesson and here comes the stress. chinese teacher is okay.. so far. he seem like a fairly funny guy but i have my doubts that he's fair and nice. maths teacher is really screwed cause i dont think she can teach well, but who cares: its maths. heard the chem teacher is slack like chu but that probably aint a good thing as well. ihc's teacher is nice(: and i hope she can teach cause that subject's a killer one. havent met english teacher yet but we all know he's a nice guy. physics/form teacher is the best(: haha. he taught us last year and he'd definitely one of the best teacher of all times in terms of work and play. there are alr homework alr how great. okay school is boring.
got into school team. but sir said the category im in has too many people so he will have to kick some of us out eventually. have to start gaining weight. too light aint good. shoulder ligament hasnt recovered yet. and i have been training lesser compared to others. cannot be thrown and all that stuff is making me used to it. and that is not good. cause if im used to not being thrown i'll get slacker even after i recover. i have to start doing weights and improve my strength and stamina after my poor shoulder recover or i'll never improve. saturday training was okay. most probably its because its combined, therefore with girls=slack.
saturday was kinda fun, starting with training in the morning. lunch was with timo, jw, jt at golden rooster, a fairly familiar spot for us. the lady boss is nice too, she often give us extra food if we go in big groups. haha. jt's dad was nice enough to send us there after trng in school, so we ended up squeezing in the back seats with jw on top of timo and the bags all on top of me. it wasnt a nice ride. haha. so we went queensway after lunch to see shoes. timo bought his everlast canvas. and i ended up spending the most on my long-wanted adidas predator+sala, which is $95 after loads of bargaining. its really nice and comfy though. predator + sala is really hard to come by. jt bought his predator too, although he wanted the F50+ at first. so we both have similar shoes. haha. jw made the salesguy at limited ed climb up and down to get the size of the shoes he liked; and didnt buy in the end so the guy was kinda bushuang with him lol. after spending money we went to macs for a drink, when jt said his dad is here and had to go. the funny part is that we ended up in his dad car again, but this time more comfortable with haokai gone. that big giant. his dad was supposed to stop us at the nearest mrt which is green line so its easier for me to go home. but timo and jw's big mouths made poor uncle fetch us to toa payoh and poor me had to follow them, making my supposed journey home longer. when we arrived at toa payoh, it was raining and the long journey back made me not want to go home yet. so we walked around, and almost caught a movie, but didnt due to lack of good movies and timings. we eventually ended up in the arcade, when jw finally gave timo his christmas present, a x-zone card. lol. and timo and jw both played some shooting game that timo died so fast and jw still had close to full health. lol. (timo paid haha) drums was stupid. timo started off and sucked and the game was over before the song ended. and he blamed the colors or smth. haha. so i played next and lasted longer than him. yay go eugene! haha. so he was sore (as usual) and played again. this time i helped him hit the cymbols. and he still lost within the song. so after that he kept playing and we improved and finally got an 'A'. haha. timo played at least 10games or so. thats like 15$. jw then went for his haircut, timo went home, and i went to orchard to look for my sis. she told me to go to fareastplaza and as soon as i got there she wanted to leave so i had to go back to orchard mrt with them. so stupid. we met the buyer and those 2 girls were kinda weird/cool. lol. we then walked around wheelock and decided to call our parents here for dinner instead. so i went to borders to look at books while my sis went marks&spencer and kelly went home. saw the autobiography of steven gerrard, my biggest idol in football with the price tag of only around 21$ so i bought it(duh) and went upstairs to queue at sakae sushi for a table. it had a long queue as expected and i was enjoying the book while queuing so theres was nth to complain about haha.
so far, im halfway through the book (which has like 500pages). his book is really, really great. i learnt about footballer's lives and how hard it really is to make it all the way to the top. england has many opportunities, such as youth squards and even a national school for young footballers. this made competition stiffer and only the cream of the crop will make it to these schools. gerrard almost has his toe amputated when he was young due to an injury. some giant rusty fork pieced through his boots and into his toe. his coach at liverpool convinced the doctor that he mustn't have his toe gone or he wouldnt be able to play football anymore. gerrard didnt get any infection at all due to the fork being rusty and i guess this must be fate. destined to be one of the greatest players of all times since young. as gerrard grew up, he didnt get selected for the national school because of his size. he was too small to be a midfielder even though he had the skills and the aggression. he was so depressed he almost gave up trying to be a footballer. but his dad pressed him on, encouraged him to go on. he eventually had growth spurts which made his bigger and better. when the liverpool U15s met with the national school's gerrard unleashed his full anger and sorrow and made sure he played so well the school would regret not taking him in. i really adore him for not giving up. if he did, we wouldnt have the steven gerrard today. after being chosen for the first team of liverpool, he was so happy he could be training with the stars he always fancied and adored. and even though these players are well-established, such as fowler and redknapp, they didnt put on airs and despise the new and young players. they interacted with them and gave them their advice. i think that this is really a part each and every one of us have to learn. even if we're bigger and more superior than others, we must stay modest and not think that we're the best and start despising others. with the more experienced players teaching and interacting with the younger ones, they do not only pass down their experience and knowledge, they also pass down a legacy to the younger ones to follow and maintain. this would result in the club's future being bright and not a downhill. this principle applies everywhere. in judo, if the seniors just interact among themselves and let the juniors fend for themselves, the club will suffer because year after year, the juniors will learn less and improve slower, and this is definitely not good news. another point i got from the book is that success, no matter in what context, is not easy to achieve. gerrard spent many years, suffered many injuries, bled, sweat, and teared. the process, the path to success is not an easy one to take. hard work is a must. passion. commitment. determination. gerrard's has been a role model for me. and he always will be. he often look back in his life and thank the people that helped him achieve what he has today. as early as 9years old. this is a simple example of yin shui si yuan (sorry if my hanyupinyin isnt that accurate). even though he has established a name for himself, he does not forget his benefactors, the ones who helped him on his journey to success. and i personally think that is vital to what eventually is called success. people often associate gerrard's success to only houllier, but he corrects us that there are many others out there that helped him in a greater way. he also, through the book, talked about the errors he has made in his life and apologizes to those that he's caused unhappiness and hurt to. and i believe, that he is really a great, great man. not only in terms of skills, but also character, both on and off the pitch. STEVEN GERRARD: a role model to me, forever.
long live his legacy.
Steven Gerrard, the legend that will live on forever.

saturday was kinda fun, starting with training in the morning. lunch was with timo, jw, jt at golden rooster, a fairly familiar spot for us. the lady boss is nice too, she often give us extra food if we go in big groups. haha. jt's dad was nice enough to send us there after trng in school, so we ended up squeezing in the back seats with jw on top of timo and the bags all on top of me. it wasnt a nice ride. haha. so we went queensway after lunch to see shoes. timo bought his everlast canvas. and i ended up spending the most on my long-wanted adidas predator+sala, which is $95 after loads of bargaining. its really nice and comfy though. predator + sala is really hard to come by. jt bought his predator too, although he wanted the F50+ at first. so we both have similar shoes. haha. jw made the salesguy at limited ed climb up and down to get the size of the shoes he liked; and didnt buy in the end so the guy was kinda bushuang with him lol. after spending money we went to macs for a drink, when jt said his dad is here and had to go. the funny part is that we ended up in his dad car again, but this time more comfortable with haokai gone. that big giant. his dad was supposed to stop us at the nearest mrt which is green line so its easier for me to go home. but timo and jw's big mouths made poor uncle fetch us to toa payoh and poor me had to follow them, making my supposed journey home longer. when we arrived at toa payoh, it was raining and the long journey back made me not want to go home yet. so we walked around, and almost caught a movie, but didnt due to lack of good movies and timings. we eventually ended up in the arcade, when jw finally gave timo his christmas present, a x-zone card. lol. and timo and jw both played some shooting game that timo died so fast and jw still had close to full health. lol. (timo paid haha) drums was stupid. timo started off and sucked and the game was over before the song ended. and he blamed the colors or smth. haha. so i played next and lasted longer than him. yay go eugene! haha. so he was sore (as usual) and played again. this time i helped him hit the cymbols. and he still lost within the song. so after that he kept playing and we improved and finally got an 'A'. haha. timo played at least 10games or so. thats like 15$. jw then went for his haircut, timo went home, and i went to orchard to look for my sis. she told me to go to fareastplaza and as soon as i got there she wanted to leave so i had to go back to orchard mrt with them. so stupid. we met the buyer and those 2 girls were kinda weird/cool. lol. we then walked around wheelock and decided to call our parents here for dinner instead. so i went to borders to look at books while my sis went marks&spencer and kelly went home. saw the autobiography of steven gerrard, my biggest idol in football with the price tag of only around 21$ so i bought it(duh) and went upstairs to queue at sakae sushi for a table. it had a long queue as expected and i was enjoying the book while queuing so theres was nth to complain about haha.
so far, im halfway through the book (which has like 500pages). his book is really, really great. i learnt about footballer's lives and how hard it really is to make it all the way to the top. england has many opportunities, such as youth squards and even a national school for young footballers. this made competition stiffer and only the cream of the crop will make it to these schools. gerrard almost has his toe amputated when he was young due to an injury. some giant rusty fork pieced through his boots and into his toe. his coach at liverpool convinced the doctor that he mustn't have his toe gone or he wouldnt be able to play football anymore. gerrard didnt get any infection at all due to the fork being rusty and i guess this must be fate. destined to be one of the greatest players of all times since young. as gerrard grew up, he didnt get selected for the national school because of his size. he was too small to be a midfielder even though he had the skills and the aggression. he was so depressed he almost gave up trying to be a footballer. but his dad pressed him on, encouraged him to go on. he eventually had growth spurts which made his bigger and better. when the liverpool U15s met with the national school's gerrard unleashed his full anger and sorrow and made sure he played so well the school would regret not taking him in. i really adore him for not giving up. if he did, we wouldnt have the steven gerrard today. after being chosen for the first team of liverpool, he was so happy he could be training with the stars he always fancied and adored. and even though these players are well-established, such as fowler and redknapp, they didnt put on airs and despise the new and young players. they interacted with them and gave them their advice. i think that this is really a part each and every one of us have to learn. even if we're bigger and more superior than others, we must stay modest and not think that we're the best and start despising others. with the more experienced players teaching and interacting with the younger ones, they do not only pass down their experience and knowledge, they also pass down a legacy to the younger ones to follow and maintain. this would result in the club's future being bright and not a downhill. this principle applies everywhere. in judo, if the seniors just interact among themselves and let the juniors fend for themselves, the club will suffer because year after year, the juniors will learn less and improve slower, and this is definitely not good news. another point i got from the book is that success, no matter in what context, is not easy to achieve. gerrard spent many years, suffered many injuries, bled, sweat, and teared. the process, the path to success is not an easy one to take. hard work is a must. passion. commitment. determination. gerrard's has been a role model for me. and he always will be. he often look back in his life and thank the people that helped him achieve what he has today. as early as 9years old. this is a simple example of yin shui si yuan (sorry if my hanyupinyin isnt that accurate). even though he has established a name for himself, he does not forget his benefactors, the ones who helped him on his journey to success. and i personally think that is vital to what eventually is called success. people often associate gerrard's success to only houllier, but he corrects us that there are many others out there that helped him in a greater way. he also, through the book, talked about the errors he has made in his life and apologizes to those that he's caused unhappiness and hurt to. and i believe, that he is really a great, great man. not only in terms of skills, but also character, both on and off the pitch. STEVEN GERRARD: a role model to me, forever.
long live his legacy.
Steven Gerrard, the legend that will live on forever.
