Distance
mercredi 29 octobre 2008

The Distance...

yongliang

Rabindranath Tagore - World's Furthest Distance...

The longest distance in the world is not that between life and death,
but when I stand in front of you,
yet you don't know that I love you

The furthest distance in the world is not when I stand in font of you,
yet you can't see my love but when undoubtedly knowing the love from both yet cannot be together

The furthest distance in the world is not being apart while being in love,
but when plainly can not resist the yearning,
yet pretending you have never been in my heart .

The furthest distance in the world is not pretending you have never been in my heart,
but using one's indifferent heart,
to dig an uncrossable river for the one who loves you

The farthest distance in the world is not we cannot be together when we love each other But we pretend caring nothing even we know love is unconquerable


The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between two trees
But the branches cannot depend on each other in wind even they grow from the same root

The farthest distance in the world Is not the braches cannot depend on each other,
But two stars cannot meet even they watch each other

The farthest distance in the world is not the track between two stars,
But nowhere to search in a tick after two tracks join

The farthest distance in the world is not nowhere to search in a tick,But doomed not to be together before they meet

The farthest distance in the world is the distance between fish and bird,
One is in the sky, another is in the sea......

泰戈尔 - 世界上最远的距离

世界上最远的距离
不是 生与死的距离
而是 我站在你面前
你不知道我爱你

世界上最远的距离
不是 我站在你面前
你不知道我爱你
而是 爱到痴迷
却不能说我爱你

世界上最远的距离
不是 我不能说我爱你
而是 想你痛彻心脾
却只能深埋心底

世界上最远的距离
不是 我不能说我想你
而是 彼此相爱
却不能够在一起

世界上最远的距离
不是 彼此相爱
却不能够在一起
而是明知道真爱无敌
却装作毫不在意

世界上最远的距离
不是 树与树的距离
而是 同根生长的树枝
却无法在风中相依

世界上最远的距离
不是 树枝无法相依
而是 相互了望的星星
却没有交汇的轨迹

世界上最远的距离
不是 星星之间的轨迹
而是 纵然轨迹交汇
却在转瞬间无处寻觅

世界上最远的距离
不是 瞬间便无处寻觅
而是 尚未相遇
便注定无法相聚

世界上最远的距离
是鱼与飞鸟的距离
一个在天,一个却深潜海底

The distance...
So unbearable.
undesirable,
undescribable.

Part B Leadership Camp 2008 :)

Yay. Part B leadership camp. :s

overview on what happened!

Day 1....

Woke up early in the morning at 5. Ate ham and bread. haha. Waited for Gary Leon Lai... so late luh. Den we left for school together. Met Sir Anthony in school. Found my pencil case in airstore. :S Went to disturb the sec 2s.... lalala.

I was I/C for Team 4. The name they gave themselves was Wolfteam (it is actually a name of a FPS...). Their warcry was 可爱的 (dam mushy right? cos got richie...) conducted bag check and uniform check. And that 180++ they owed me. lol. I never got them to clear it. Too kind already. lol.

Left Wolfteam in Samuel's hands while i went up to Lect room to prepare for my air syllabus lecture. I had 173 slides to cover. :S Including the mock test. LOL. Finished it all in 1h15 minutes, with the help of SC 2SG Gary Leon Lai and Part A spec Ernest Tan.... lol.

Reciprocated by helping them with their GSK one... I love my remote control... :)

Left during the medic thing. lol. Go find WKWKWKWKWKWKWK!. haha. Den i forgot wat happened...

Lunch was erms. i forgot also. :s.

All i know was, after lunch, go SAFRA shoot. So i entrusted my wolfteam into GLL's hands...but some unexpected stuff happened.. hmm. shan't elaborate.

Shooting, taught the techniques to the sec 1s 1 last time. their shooting is composed, slow mo and well i hope it is accurate...lol.

Tried simulating foxhole for the Part Cs. basically, the part Cs go there waste time. Cos live range, almost impossible to prepare with SAFRA shoots. :s

Rush back to school. WK had a lot of fun playing with my shades....:S And den he kept thinking of someone.....hmmm (who is that? lol)

Erm. Dinner? I can't remember wat it is either...

Night was boring luh. Cadets' night prep. :s Something happened again. Shan't elaborate again.

Sleeeeep. snoreee. Wei kit, ur feet stink. damn.

Next day. rise and shine. :) Taught them how to conduct footdrill mutuals. I think next year SC all the 2sg will come from my Wolfteam. haha. Dam zai can, taught them MOI after everything. :)

Common mistakes they made. : forgot purpose. forgot error check. and..DAM NERVOUS!

Then after that it was it was...it was...BUC brief by Sir QX. Den it was Unit structure etc. Den introduce my role as Part A UDI and Shooting I/C. Part Bs, i tell y'all, Part A UDI, not easy to be. Very easy offend people one. Future Part A UDI must know how to handle your own part. Which is....difficult, and virtually impossible, a few batches of NCOs have said that, including me.

Ok. Next... CRAZY TAXI. INITIAL D. HAHA. I love NCO bunk. lol. LUNCH....yum.

ok wat was next...

I only know that i spent the rest of the time makign extension questions for my Air Syllabus test and.... and... and... i can't rmb already!!!

At dinner dam late, cos i was alone in the NCO bunk, so must take care lor. hai. Entertain myself for like 1 hour with Pinky. Den finally WK my saviour came. Thanks ah twin. :)

Fishball noodles. lol. ate in front of de cadets. sorry luh. lol. Den later kai rong tio kidnap haha.

Oh ya i remember wat happen in the afternoon le. LASER QUEST. DAM FUN CAN. LOL. although i cannot play, i follow dem also fun haha. Only some NCOs got to play. RX foo, Bryan and Ben played. Dam fun lor. Shooting laser 'guns' . A lot of noise...

Ok continue. Cadets' night.
Benny was dam funny can.
A Mini Soh Wei Xuan replica.
2:3 Scale model. LOL.

he was dam funny la. The way he talk like wei xuan liddat. hha. Simple sentences and words, but still dam funny. lol.

(Oh ya, i remembered, the previous night had milo making competition haha, i own!)

That night - morning was sentry. (that explains why i did not sleep and i have become a panda. :))

POW Camp. :) I really made it look like one. registration table. Small chair of rations. 2 Tables to lie on. 1 Big mattress. 1 incline pull up bar.

Rules of Camp

1. No sleeping (unless in the case of rule 2)
2. Sleep can be bought through amount of incline pull ups done. minimum 20. Each incline pull up = 1 min of sleep. ( i enjoyed pretty good business)
3. Those who did not purchase sleep shall not be able to sleep. As long as u close ur eyes for more than 5 seconds, you will be taken as if you have fallen asleep, and FORFEIT. (but i didnt really exercise it la, they were really tired already)

At 4+ i decided to let them sleep if they wanted.
Got a loto f not so nice events that night. Dun wanna elaborate. Waited at chapel with Gar Wye and Mag for nothing. hai. We already had a plan!!! ahhhh. nevermind. FATE!

me and Gar Wye escorted a team through their route for the whole morning til 6 lor. sleepy. hai.

After that, took a shower. Napped. snore. woke up at 7.30. packed up. Go down to store, brought hwee's lappie along. Told Brandon to help me invigilate my test while i went for tuition a woodlands. :S

Wah rush to woodlands WITHOUT BREAKFAST AND SLEEP. And guess wat, its math tuition. DIFFERENTIATION. That topic is dam tedious... And i really wanted to sleep already!

Rushed back to school right after it too. Pack up. AAR? Break Camp. HSH!

I marked Air Syllabus lo. pathetic. Mark until my blood all over the paper le. Should have slept la, torture myself by marking. :S

im tired. snooze.

Eventful year
jeudi 23 octobre 2008

It has been a very very eventful year for me. Secondary 3 life has left us so quickly. Next year, we become sec 4s, intensive lessons will become a daily affair. PRELIMS. :s

Just thinking of it makes me giddy.
Today has been a very eventful day itself too. :) Sex ed in the morning. Breaking down barriers. Recess. Clean up classrooms. Science Centre! Watched an Omnimax movie/documentary on the Grand Canyon. Although it was boring and sleep-inducing for my classmates, it was pretty awe-inspiring to me. The power of nature. And the power of man to alter it and kill then themselves. GOSH. Grand Canyon. BEAUTIFUL. Yah.

I love documentaries. :) They make me think further haha. Colorado is very pretty. I dunno wat to say here, but just appreciate wat we have around us. Yeps. And I heard about the 9 year old American boy saving up a few thousands of dollars to build communal taps across Africa before this documentary, in a compre passage. :S. 好伟大的小男孩! 有前途! :)

I wanna go to Dubai when i grow up, and see the 2 faces of their society. The possibility of a golden age in our era is virtually impossible. The difference between the richest, and the poorest is too large. In Dubai, Casinos thrive, exotic cars race across the complex motorways in the desert city. However, at another end of this thriving metropolis, locals struggle to find work, live in poor conditions. Poor sanitation and famine is going to wipe out these poor people. :( Reminds me of Macau from the SA2 compre passage. :S

Why are there so large differences, in a single city? It just seems so contradictory.
Contradictions...

There's so much to think about...

3 sided dilemma.
mardi 21 octobre 2008

Somebody...help me. =[
Why does everything like to clash... :/

Let's see, 4 events in 1 day.

NCC(air) Part B Leadership Camp
HQ SHOOTING Competition Training
Catholic High School Open House 2008
First Lesson of Sec 4 Math/Amath Tuition

So how. My tuition teachers wants me in woodlands for the first lesson of tuition. And eyt at the very same time, i should be in Yishun training the Sec 1s. Even if i manage to get myself out of shooting, no way i can get out of camp. And still, i am not sure if i am needed during Open House.

Dilemma can. I know my studies weak. I should be going for tuition luh. Plus, this is the FIRST LESSON. Who misses the first day at work? Gahh. But, HQ shooting training, this is one of my only 2 trainings. And, Part B leadership is once a year only! And as NCO, its once in my NCC Career!

What a choice to make. No way I can convince Sir to let me go for tuition, totally ridiculous. Equally ridiculous to miss the first lesson of tuition too. How!

Got until this Friday... :S

We realize our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time; it is basically a problem of priorities. We confess, We have left undone those things that ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. - Charles E. Hummel quotes

Problem is, my dilemma is not caused by things left undone. Just a very nice clash of priorities...

1. Studies
2. NCC
3. PB

So what if my first priority is studies. As if they would let me go for tuition. Things can be said and not practised. Teachers (including CCA in-charge(s)) often say that studies should be our first priority. But when faced with things like camps etc. They would say its a once a year kind of thing, so you shouldn't miss it.

SO HOW!

HQ NCC Shooting Competition 2008 Update....
lundi 20 octobre 2008

Hi peeps. 0-0 :)

Ok time for the update. Hi marksmen. I called up Yishun Safra to see if I could book anymore slots for you guys, but unfortunately, all of October and November has been fully booked. They also seem reluctant to do it in the evenings i guess. Maybe all evenings are packed too. So erms, yah, not much time for you guys to train left, only have 1 for Part As, 1 for Parts Bs. So Part As will be this Saturday. So be punctual. I might be late as I would be in school for your seniors' Part B leadership camp. The most i can do for you guys now is give all of you the lion's share of that 3 hours? So most probably i am going to dedicate 2 hours dedicated to Part As this Saturday. So make best use of it. :)

Honestly. You guys are more or less ready for the competition. All you have to do is stay calm. Sir Goh says it too ok...


Thank you for the update. Basically, you need to emphasise to the Sec. 1s that they have all the time to get a good grouping as there is no timing for each grouping. They have a tendency to "rush" their shots just like other competitors from other schools. They must be reminded not to follow suit. It's alright if everyone is waiting for them to finish the grouping. As this is the first time they are in a competition, they must be ready psychologically as well.
As for the part Bs, they have to train more unsupported shooting as it's always the one to pull the score down.

So you guys heard the man. Do not rush (I emphasised on that countless times already). Please do not rush really. Just take your time. The Canadian bull target can't shoot you back, i assure you. Shoot slowly. Control your breath. Relax your arms after each shot. Close your eyes. And PLEASE BE REMINDED BOTH PART AS AND BS. AFTER YOUR FIRST ZEROING, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SANDBAG ANYMORE! yeps.

For The Part Bs. So you guys will be doing more unsupported the next Saturday. 2 hours dedicated to you people also. Make the best of it. it'll be intensive training again.

All the best shooters. I have done as much as i could for you guys alr. The best way you guys can reciprocate is go to HQ, and make us proud. :) Don't let me down! If you can't make it into the top 10, don't say I was the one who taught/trained you guys. :S :S :S


The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.

The Greens
dimanche 19 octobre 2008

Nope. Not the leafy veggies. I mean the thin sheets of paper. That smells of. MONEY.

This post is really 犹如骨鲠在喉,不吐不快. Its been maybe 3 weeks? Since the fall of the Lehman Brothers. That fall left hundreds bankrupt, thousands in debt, and maybe millions without savings. But what caused this?

Is it human greed? Probably. But if it is, it's definitely not the investors' faults. The fault lies in the bankers and brokers and all the highly-paid executives who speculate, and invest the greens. Not only that, they advertise heavily on their 'soft' products (e.g DBS High Notes, Pinnacle Notes). Its something like stocks and shares. Rises and falls. But this time it fell and never rised again.

Countries around the world has thrown in billions of dollars to salvage this dying situation. It isn't unusual for one to wonder, "How would 1 company's fall damage the worldwide company to such a large extent?" My answer to this question is...this company's main product, is money. They are playing with money. How is money earnt? Basically, through circulation. Worldwide, money changes hands more times than we blink. I would bet my last dollar on that. And now, with one less company to circulate that money, the circle is disrupted. Money is complicated.

Here's an analogy from a novel I read. The government needs an Aircraft Carrier. It cost 7 million dollars. But actually, its free. The government pays the workers who builds the ship, pays the researchers, pays the people who provide the materials, and pays whoever does whatever. Those people spend money, and are taxed. They are also taxed on income. that's money going back to the government. In addition, for public services, they pay money back to the Government again. More or less, that 7 million spent, is 7 million earnt. In short, an Aircraft Carrier that costs 7 million dollars is crap. It's free.

So basically, money is just going in circles. It just matters where are you in that circle, and how much will go in, and out of your pocket.

Back to topic. So what has Singapore done to alleviate the situation? The MAS is looking into mis-selling of the products, and trying to get as back as much as possible for the investors. But looking at the situation now, what you can get back is really quite little. No way Singapore is going to pool money and give it to the people. The people has chosen to invest the money, not the government. It may sound cold and unfeeling, but that's the way it is.

Money. How complicated. Its not safe in a bank. Not safe in a vault. Not safe at home. Just let it run in circles. It'll end back into your pocket sooner or later.

Money will buy you a fine dog, but only love can make it wag its tail - Richard Friedman

NJC Open Day/Shooting Competition Training
samedi 18 octobre 2008

Finished making air syllabus slides. Basically copy and paste of what i got. LOL. The only thing i did was make the test. :S And it isn't totally original lor. lol.

But its the teaching that matters, not the slides!

What to expect...

100+ slides. :)
Super easy test. :)
Super good teacher :)

YAH. So that's all for air syllabus. So fun playing around with the laptop lor. I controlled it with my handphone. :) Pretending i am some teacher. haha.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

NJC Open Day

As soon as i completed my slides, took 852 to NJC. Damn, i missed a stop. Had to walk back. Go over the overhead bridge. At NJC's doorstep. I dun dare go in. :S lol. Call Adrian gor gor. Dao my call. RAHH. LOL. Then later some NJC guy come out, ask me why I dun go in. I say i waiting for someone. LOL. Den later Adrian call me with someone else's handphone, said his handphone spoilt, then he brought me in :) Kenneth (SENIOR) also came to bring me in!!!

Feel dam honoured can. Floorball capt and NJC Student's Council Honorary Treasurer tour me leh. :) I'm a VIP. :D Even Duogeng and Yeungkai dun have such good treatment lor. This means, PB EXCO > SC EXCO + SC Head. :)

I wanna go NJC. Looks cool.
Metal buttons on uniform again. Something familiar. :) Floorball seems hot. Air rifle is tempting too. School is pretty huge... Yeps.

peektures. :) peek-a-boooooo (remember our game WK?)


The NJC Open Day GOODIE BAG :)


A peek wun hurt...


This bottle of water saved my life. :) Almost died of thirst on my way to yishun.


Lolipop from NJC Softball...


Something in the goodie bag luh... Some cool kind of brochure about NJC


Dat's what's inside. :)

Missed 852. damn. That's all for NJC open house la. About all. haha. So i left NJC's territory at about 1 o clock...So waited with Adrian gor gor lor... Then later DG-mon and Yeungkai came. haha. Said hi. LOL Adrian dun tour them :) Wait for bus with me. See i so 大牌. lol. I feel so honoured la really. haha. Thank you Adrian gor gor for school tour. :)

After that met Warren lao ba. LOL. He came to look about also. haha. Saw his mum too. Hi Auntie... Snr Warren looks a lot like his mum. So we took bus together to Yishun interchange. :) Talked about NCC now. Talked about mugging. Then talked about being late for shooting :S

__________________________________________________________________________________

Arrived at Yishun Safra just in time. haha. Caught up with them. lol They just opened SAFRA's doors when i joined them. Fast rights? I panted so hard my first few tries at zero-ing sucked. Lol. Never shot so badly in 2 years already. First lane very fun. Got a lot of sexy poses. :)

Finally cleared third lane with 8. something....lol

Then Jacob helped me clear the other to lanes. :)

Carried on with intensive for the Part As and Bs. Demo for Part As. Shot a below 3. something one. Den let them continue without me haha. They not allowed to stop shooting until they get below 3.0 . So can see a curve la. At first shoot not bad de. 4. something to 5. something, as time passed shooting got worse. Very bad, it was like...dam bad standard luh. They became impatient and started shooting EVERYWHERE. omigod. SAFRA Yishun Murders. :S

The wiser ones took my advice and shot slower. Obviously it paid off. :S they cleared with 2. somethings and off the platform they went.

Part Bs' training was different. Also intensive. They will clear 100m zeroing with a score of below 10. Or else they keep shooting Can bulls. Then If the pass the first segment proceed with deliberate. Must shoot full marks. Then snap, full marks. Yea the whoel process was dam long la. must drill dem dam hard. Intensive Intensive Intensive. Shoot Shoot Shoot. Next intensive training will be Zeroing below 10 2 times in a row. Delberate (S) full marks 2 times in a row. Snap (S) 2 times in a row. But you have a handicap of 1 shot, that u can be allowed to missed. So. Choose wisely :) Then after that will intensive unsupported. If they can go through all this. They are ready to win. :)

For the Part Cs. I also not confident. :S Live range. 75m? 100m? Snap Deliberate Supported n unsupported. omigod. 24 rounds. :) Enough for your back to hurt. 21 shots of assault at SAFRA made me crazy already. 24 rounds of Snap deliberate and zeroing at LIVE RANGE will kill me. But I am ready to die in this honourable manner for CHS NCC (air) anyway. lol.

sigh

at this rate i do not know how are we going to win...

I wanna win. Winning is like...everything. YAH...

Victory and defeat are each of the same price. - Thomas Jefferson

yea..especially when a thousand plus dollars are invested into SAFRA shoots. So victory or defeat, are in your hands, Part As and Bs. The price has been paid. Which product will you choose? Victory, or defeat.

Bad.
vendredi 17 octobre 2008

Physics was bad.
History was bad.
Geog was bad.
Bio was bad.

Everything today was bad. Dam bad. Before Physics Script Check was recess. I knew what happened was a bad omen. I just knew it. Bought Prawn Mee for recess. Went to sit beside Samuel, as i sat down my bowl of Prawn noodles spilled out of the bow, onto the table, onto my right thigh, my right calf. Maybe what Rong Xian said last time about my fast reflexes was right, I managed to save my Converse shoes and my Hush Puppies Socks. Phew.

But the Prawn Mee still scalded my right thigh. Still got that little hot feeling there now. My green shorts smells of prawn mee. Oily. Damn. I was so sure it was a bad omen. Nice classmates of mine said that it might be a bad omen, but takign into consideration that I managed to save my shoe and socks, it might be possible that something last minute might save my score. That was the hope I was bamking on. My pillar of support.

Section B and C were both complete failures. 13/40. 11/30. Total failure. Den i was crossing my fingers, hoping i could get 26/30 for MCQ. I was leaning on that pillar of support, that me saving my shoes and socks, might mean that I will be able to save my score thanks to my MCQ. Well, i was wrong. 5 marks short.

This time Physics was no borderline failure. But I am 100% sure that I put in double the effort of that of last term, and that of Mid Years. I told myself before Physics, since i put in double the effort this time compared to MYEs, I shud reap better results. i started off well, didn't forget a single formula. Wrote them all down on the cover page. Before flipping the question booklet open and started shading circles, pressing buttons on my calculator, (button 5). But i knew when i arrived at Section B that History might repeat itself. It did, but this time, i couldn't salvage it. MYEs i got 49, but i managed to find a marking error and earned myself 2 marks, escaping the clutches of failure. But i failed to this time. :(

Physics. Damn.

Bio, totally hopeless. I forgot everything when I looked at the paper. Mental block.

Geog, totally unexpected.

History, totally unexpected x2.

How I hate the reality of life. You might not reap what u sow, but hopefully u get the seed back. :(

Training was. bad. saddening. But I got better as time passed. I wonder how my Part As would be like. Nevertheless, they will be the best, cos they've got the best UDI they can ever get. Who says Part As can be better than Part Bs or even Cs, its just an age difference. That's what I think. I can't wait. The excitement. It would be fun. But its going to be short too. The sorrow of a Part A/D UDI.

Its true Staff BH, couldn't prove you wrong. It is really, impossible to take ur own peers for training. True. I can't beg to differ anymore. Somehow, I think its cos we are called Part A UDIs, and not Part D UDIs like NCC land. It amazes me how Don can take them for training. Really. He's real nice to them, that's 1. And I did that during the first training after SSC, but that training failed terribly. It's just namesake. Why does it matter so much? Some people can't read can they? Never mind.

I want my Part As to make me proud. They'd be the best NCC have seen. Part As with a legacy to boot. That's historic. Then their teacher would be a hero.

Ohhh.. I can't wait. The excitement. (Though some part within me says I want to get out as soon as possible so I can start mugging the way I really want to.)

Argh, my secondary school life is hopeless, the colours I imagined became monochrome reality.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. - George Bernard Shaw

As if, Mr Shaw. If one is to be hated more and more for every mistake he makes, what honour is there to talk about?

My ambitious-ness (ambition doesn't sound right) will do me in. It has before. it might again. I think its the worst 'strength' i've got. It only makes u jealous, feel discontented, and frequently pissed, angry and asocial. I've no idea wat good this trait gives. Screw.

Dear Diary...
Horrified.

I'm horrified by the idea of being ordinary. Cos i know i can do much better than that. And ordinary is not for me.

Today was shooting. Bleah.
Was script check too....
Below expectations/hopes/worthless results...

El dept today was dam considerate. Really. They had to make us stay behind to finish their script check, ending at around 2.20. And they dragged on further, obviously no sense of urgency and finally decided to release us at 2.40.

Due to some error in the Shotoing timetable i recieved, i thought we were very late. :S super sever miscomm. call sec 2s go Safra first. THANKS SNR SP. Help me bring them there. Chiong out of school to catch up with wei kit who was already nearing the traffic light at the huge + junction, near Junction 8.

"Hello, where are you?"
"Walking to the traffic light. Junction 8 that one"
"Orh okay, i am right behind you."

-Chiong-

15 secs (or less) later....

*slap*

"hello!"

lol.
then i was complaining and whining about how inconsiderate the El dept it. :s

Race with train... :)
Wait for train...

Recieve call from Nobel :S
Today was PB interview...
But i wasn't around.
Looks like the teachers were angry. I am sorry, but i have already made my stand about 6 months ago. If i had to make a choice between CCA and PB, I would choose CCA. and so, i didn't do the itnerview and went for the shoot. Plus, I really want CHS NCC (air) to romp home with >3 awards this year. Last 2 years were fruitless. This year MUST yield results.

Met up with Snr SP and the convoy. Reach Safra only to find out our slot is from 4 -6 as usual. :S
so shoot.
shoot.
shoot.
Super fun shoot.

Dinner.
Big Gulp dreams...
Home. :)

I think only Wei Kit will know what i mean by Big Gulp dreams right...haha. :)

I’m intimidated by the fear of being average. - Taylor Swift

me too. I wasn't meant to be ordinary. I know it. :)

Dear Diary...
Scuderia Ferrari Kicks Ass!

A bit late. But better late than never...to announce that. HAMILTON 0, MASSA 1!

WAHOO.
Hamilton came in LAST, in Japan, due to damage done to his suspension, thanks to an accident (obviously caused by Hamilton himself) early in the race (Either Lap 1 or Lap 2). He knock into Raikkonen, force him onto grass. Wallau. Agressive LAH. Ok lor. Den he met his match, FELIPE MASSA, HIMSELF. Lewis Hamilton's absolute nemesis.

Hamilton dived hard into the first corner after overtaking Felipe Massa, crushing Massa's racing line immediately. This disabled Massa from switching lines, so the only way he could avoid a collision is to ride onto the kerb, then the gravel.

On the gravel, it is very difficult for drivers to have a control over the car, due to the uneven surface, and the low traction. So, the car went straight for Hamilton! (自做自受) That collision spun Hamilton out of control, FACING THE TRAFFIC! So Massa easily drove off, while Hamilton had to wait for EVERYONE to drive off before he can make a turn and rejoin the race. :) I <3>

After the race during an interview with Massa, Massa reportedly said, "I had 2 wheels on the gravel. I could not stop the car and I was on the gravel because he (Hamilton) pushed me into the gravel." Woooots. Sacarsm :) racer with a temper. ZAI!
Goodbye Hammy! Massa gogogo!

And Kimi Raikkonen THE ICEMAN! Podium finished. :) zai lo! constructors standings also win Mclaren lo!!

But now got new title contender wor. Only 12 points! 12 points behind Hamilton. Who is he! Robert Kubica (claps claps claps) Woots. Second in SG. Second in Japan. if he get second 2 more time, and Hamilton get 0 2 more time, or maybe a get 3 in total for 2 more races, Kubica might win Hamilton (and lose to Felipe Massa)! that's like.

Today was boring anyway. Boredom
I wanna go Bintan :)

Where'd you go..i miss you so...

My left in-ear earpiece's rubber driver dropped off. :( I don't know where it went. There's only 1 "small"pair in the box, and it is the most comfortable pair. So now i have to make do with 'medium'. :( This weekend is. SCREWED.

Went to hospital this morning again, fetch ah ma. Went for lunch at food court at Novena Medical Centre before heading for tuition at Goldhill. So tiring. :/

On my way home, went scouting about the neighbourhood for nice spots to take picture of school chapel. Finally found a spot after going up and down 3, 30 storey buildings. I found it on the top floor of a carpark. :S


Looks like some suicide scene...

Home. edited collaboration logo. done.
be sad.

Felipe Massa fifth grid at Fuji Speedway, Japan. :(
Nvm Massa!
Jia you.
Kick some ass.
Kimi also jiayou!

Your birthstone is Sapphire

The Mystical properties of Sapphire - I think i got clear thinking, but it blurs sometimes...(SORRY!)

Though not meant to replace traditional medical treatment, Sapphire is used for clear thinking.
Some lists consider these stones to be your birthstone. (Birthstone lists come from Jewelers, Tibet, Ayurvedic Indian medicine, and other sources)
Agate, Moonstone, Lapis Lazuli - Moonstone. sounds seductive.

Sapphire -
Sapphire can be found in a rainbow of colors, all but red. (Red Sapphire is actually Ruby, it's cousin!) There are also "star sapphires"- which are domed stones that show a star-light effect on the top.
Sapphires are traditionally connected with the eye & the sky- therefore with vision & the ability to read the future. Sapphires render black magic harmless, and help the wearer discern falsehoods. Buddhists believe the Sapphire brings purity & spiritual enlightenment.

can't find meanings for the rest...

September babies - Love, mercy, Victory. o0

Your birth tree is
Weeping Willow, the Melancholy - totally true.

Beautiful but full of melancholy, attractive, very empathic, loves anything beautiful and tasteful, loves to travel, dreamer, restless, capricious, honest, can be influenced but is not easy to live with, demanding, good intuition, suffers in love but finds sometimes an anchoring partner.

Anchoring partner? Wei Kit! Thanks for the love.


There are 75 days till Christmas 2008!
There are 88 days till Orthodox Christmas!

The moon's phase on the day you were
born was waning gibbous. - Interesting.

Life Path 7

The Life Path 7 suggests that you entered this plane with a gift for investigation, analysis, and keen observation. You are a thinker of the first order. You evaluate situations very quickly, and with amazing accuracy. As a result, you are thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to meet a high standard of performance, too. - totally true, no objections.

A Life Path 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate soul. But you guard your connection to people carefully. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people, and you avoid them. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. It's as if you must get to know someone a lot better before you allow the wall surrounding you to be penetrated. Chances are you are a very charming and refined individual with great poise and a quick wit. Nonetheless, there is an exclusiveness about you. You probably aren't a very social person. Your reserve is often taken to be aloofness, but actually, it's not that at all. It is merely a cover up for your basic feeling of insecurity. There's no rush, It takes time for you to warm up to new friends. Clubs and organizations hold little interest for you; you are not a joiner. - very true again. Oh yes, i found someone for life. His initials are WK. Yes, i feel insecure. I am a very shy person. I hate rejection.

You actually like being alone and away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise, distractions, and confusion. - True again. I like it quiet (with taylor's music in the background). I dun like crowds. true.

The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown; you will garner knowledge from practically every source that you find. Intellectual, scientific, and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at your own independent conclusion. - True again. I like my own answers the best.

This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. A built in inner guide providing a strong sense of intuition may set you up as being a law unto yourself. Whatever spiritual position you take, whether traditional or bizarre, you will cling to it with fervor. Once you have decided an issue, it is almost impossible to get you to revisit the question. Adaptability is not your style, and change for you is a rarity. - totally true again.

You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone. Your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you follow the directions they seem to guide. - yes, i still depend on ini-mine ini-moe. And it works.

In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences, is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration for others. There is such a negative attitude. Indeed, operating on the negative side of the 7 can produce a very selfish and spoiled individual and living with one can be a challenge. This may be why some 7s actually prefer living alone. If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of because you tend to feel that the world really does owe you a living or that in some way you are not being fairly treated. - Ah yes true. Sorry again. to those affected. :( happend before.

Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for you. - Stability in feelings. hmm. food for thought.

Ok, 3 words. Interesting. reflective. insight.

Numbers

Did that number quiz thing on Snr Sp/Snr Jerell's blog.

True to a large extent. I love reading this stuff. Good reflection.

You entered: Mun Yong Liang

There are 12 letters in your name.
Those 12 letters total to 62
There are 4 vowels and 8 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 8

The characteristics of #8 are: Practical endeavors, status oriented, power-seeking, high-material goals.

The expression or destiny for #8:
Your Expression is represented by the number 8. The 8 Expression is well-equipped in a managerial sense. You have outstanding organizational and administrative capabilities. You have the potential for considerable achievement in business or other powerful positions. You can expect to receive the financial and material rewards. You have the skill and abilities to establish or operate a business with great efficiency. You have good judgment when it comes to money and commercial matters, and you understand how to build and accumulate material wealth. Much of your success (or lack of it) may come due to your ability (or inability) to judge character. With the number 8 Expression, you exercise sound judgment in most of your affairs; you are realistic and practical in your approach to business matters.

The positive 8 Expression produces individuals that are very ambitious and goal-oriented. If the 8 energy is not in excess in your makeup, you will no doubt express these traits to some extent. No one has any more energy that a person with the 8 Expression who has a plan laid and is starting to work. No one has any more self-confidence, either. If you are expressing the positive qualities of 8, you are an outstanding manager because you can plan, initiate, and complete projects; you are very dependable and determined.

As it always happens, there can be too much of a good thing. If you have too much of the 8 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative attitudes. A negative 8 can be very rigid and stubborn. Ambition sometimes has a way of becoming over-ambition, and you may express an unreasonable impatience with the lack of progress. If your negative side is showing, you may be too exacting, both of yourself and of others. Sometimes this can even becomes a case of intolerance.

The number 8 is very materialistic and also very desirous of status and power. Neither of these drives are inherently negative unless they are taken to an extreme. You must avoid the tendency to strain after money, material matters, status, or power, to the detriment of the other important factors in your life.

Your Soul Urge number is: 1

A Soul Urge number of 1 means:
Your Soul Urge is the number 1. With a Soul Urge number of 1, you want to lead and direct, to work independent of supervision, by yourself or with subordinates. You take pride in your abilities and want to be recognized for them. You may seek opportunities to display your strength and usefulness, wanting to create and originate. In your desire to manage the big picture and the main issues, you may often leave the details to others.

The positive 1 Soul Urge is Ambitious and determined, a leader seeking opportunities. There is a great deal of honesty and loyalty in this character. If you possess positive 1 Soul Urge qualities, you are very attainment oriented and driven to success. You are a loyal friend and strictly fair in your business dealings.

The negative side of the 1 Soul Urge must be avoided. A negative 1 is apt to dominate situations and people; the home, the spouse, the family and the business. Emotions aren't strong in this nature. If you possess an excess of 1 energy, you may, at times, be boastful and egotistic. You must avoid being too critical and impatient of trifles. The great need of the 1 Soul Urge is the development of friendliness, and a sincere interest in people.

Your Inner Dream number is: 7

An Inner Dream number of 7 means:
You dream of having the opportunity to read, study, and shut yourself off from worldly distractions. You can see yourself as a teacher, mystic, or ecclesiastic, spending your life in the pursuit of knowledge and learning.

Analysis-------

yep, i love being the leader.

True, many personality tests i took, including DISC, has reflected to me that i am a very ambitious person. My actions have also proven it. over-ambition, of course. (sorry.)

Sound judgements. I really think i have good foresight...

But actually, i think the 8 thingy is fading off for me le. I dun feel the want, and need to work to that extreme anymore for anything else but studies (in terms of books).

Stubborn. - Totally.

Intolerance. - yeps. I dun like things when they go too slow. efficiency is the key for me. (sorry again.)

I'm quite sure the 8 thing is fading off....

Ok test, i will wane of the want for material matters etc.

Soul Urge.

yea, i kinda love working alone. Feels good to be in touch with your inner self.

yes, i want to be credited for what i do. I make a big hoo-ha if you leave out my name. really.
(or at least i'll be pretty depressed.)

Seek opportunities to display strength and something - true.

i am a very creative person. really.

Leaving details to others. Not really. According to my DISC profiling, i am a meticulous person. (although i think i have a split personality. I am really organised in school, cos i am the only one who keeps lockers neat :S, but at home...pig sty)

honesty and loyalty. OK I think this is true. i never lied to twin before. i swear.

yes, i wanna be a successful pediatric psychologist. i think kids are cool.

Strictly fair - impartiality might be my greatest strength and weakness.

Dominating situations - ok i am aware of this myself. (sorry again)

Boastful and egotistic - influenced by HY...

Avoid being critical - trying already... although i was worse in the past.

Development if friendliness, sincere interest in people - true. but i do not know how to express myself. i would believe i am slightly autistic -.= and i think i offend a lot of people. No matter how hard i try. SORRY! i'm a shy person, really.

My inner dream number, if so, i have already achieved part of my dream. According to my DISC profiling, and other tests i took, i have the uncanny ability to focus on something so hard that i don't know what is happening around me. happened before. :S Oh, and i see myself as a successful psychologist, (my dream! Maybe i dream of being Taylor's husband too eh. jk.) but i do sometimes imagine myself to be a bio teacher.

yongliang.

P.S the sorries in brackets weren't meant for WE... its just an apology for my past actions to anyone. :(

Dear Diary...
bad weekend.



Good Morning Mynah


The title said everything. It's a bad weekend.

Shooting on Friday was delayed to 1700. There was some technical problems at SAFRA. I let the trainees have lunch, before we went on a short walk to AMK MRT, den took a train down to Yishun for Shooting practice.

Their performance wasn't satisfactory. Not at all. After shooting, rushed to hospital. Then at night i was told something i totally did not expect. All i can say is..sorry.

Saturday. Woke up. Breakfast. (cliche) Said sorry again. (i'm sorry). went to school to learn some first aid from St. John AB.

Yi Ren taught us how to do the narrow fold, broad fold, elevation sling, arm sling with the triangular bandage. Taught us how to treat simple cuts and wounds, using of the swabs, gel packs etc. Den we learnt something Nobel really liked, CPR. We just did the compressions, not the artificial ventilation. Quite irrelevant anyway, because we would not be able to employ CPR on somebody as we aren't certified to. Den we also played with the stretcher...


Hey nobel...

After the first aid, i saw a few air guys stuck outside the store. Oh. RX broke a key inside the keyhole. nice one. They were trying to open the door by pushing away the cupboard. So i helped by well, trying to hold the cupboard, trying to open the windows, reaching for the knob from inside.

But still, it wudn't budge. The key lodged inside has prevented any movement of the lock. oops. I bade farewell to them before heading of for my dental appointment, in low spirits, due to multiple factors.

Arrived at MRT platform. wait...wait...wait... An announcement flashed on the TV screen at the platform. No train service, Service disrupted. YCK SB, SBW SB, towards MRB . I didn't understand the acronyms at first, but managed to decipher them a little later. Yio Chu Kang Southbound, Sembawang Southbound, Marina Bay.

Told my mum bout it, was advised to hop onto 88 and get to tpy for my checkup. Run up platform frantically to bus stop. Camp. wait. wait. wait.

Mum calls. At the TPY side, trains have resumed as per normal. rushed down to the platform again. waited 7 minutes. hopped onto a train. and off to TPY.

Got black and yellow rubbers bands this time. And my bottom row of teeth are using, what the dentists call as a power chain. its white. so i've got black yellow and white in my teeth. brilliant combination.

Went down to novena to get to TTSH again. Went to the Service counter with mum to check if any money was deducted from my ez-link card during my in-out run of Bishan MRT. apparently, the guy said no money was deducted. Mum brought me to the general Ticketing Machine to check. it said...

Record #3
11:56:xx
Ns17 to Ns17
$0.40

oh. so no money was deducted eh. Mum was furious. got forty cents back. :S
Went to hospital. Met Uncle tony there. after visiting, when out for lunch with him at a horrid Hong Kong restaurant. At first it looked fine. Quite nice ambience, food wasn't too bad. but service was. In the drains.

This was wat happened.
We finished eating.
Uncle wants some noodles. orders a plate. waits 15 minutes. a bit too long for a plate of noodles eh. And he was getting full already. Mum checks receipt. We were table 25. there were only 3 of us, however the receipt said, table 35, 4. So my mum guessed that they got a wrong order then. So we notified a waitress and cancelled the order. She took the receipt away. Shortly after, a plate of noodles came. :S

Uncle was furious, repeated that he has already cancelled the order and wants the bill. Manager said something to the waitress afterwards. he looked pissed. (Service Error No.1 never show an angry face in front of customers :S)

Bill comes along after a very long time. Mum checks bill. hmm...where did the 20 percent discount go? Enquired. manager comes and says in Cantonese that it is a computer generated receipt blah blah blah, we were 2 MINUTES EARLIER THAN 1430, so are not eligible. Now mum was angry, she already asked and consulted a waitress about the discount thing before she placed orders.

The waitress apparently said the time was right. The manager continued arguing, before finally saying in Cantonese that the 20% is a small amount and he would give it to us. (Service Error No.2 Never argue with your customers. Remember, the customer is always right. Plus, this time, she is really right! is only 2 minutes. your waitress has said yes to it. And, its just 20 percent, give it to your customer, she would feel obliged to visit your restaurant again! Poor service and etiquette. Bad.) Mum was well, still angry.

Den came along my auntie and cousin, came to our table. and the waitress still asked:"还要叫吗?" A bit funny. uncle angrily said no. The revised bill came again. Signed. Den after that, mum felt something fishy again. Whipped out my calculator. They had bad math. Mum went to claim the money. bad bad bad. (Service Error No.3 DUN MAKE SO MANY ERRORS!) GOSH. Nightmare of a lunch. bad.

Very last service error. Throughout the whole incident, we were being spoken to in Cantonese. Since we customers, are speaking in English to them, basic courtesy is to speak in the same language back to us. If we did not understand Cantonese, it could have been worse.

If i were to give a rating, i give it 1 and half stars now. Food was good. They lady boss was nice, intro-ed us the Noodles (nightmare noodles :S) But, poor service, bad attitude by male manager/boss, equals = lunchtime disaster. Without the whole incident, it could have easily made 4 stars.


nice teapot...



Pretty good food...


nice ambience...



Bad service.


So tired. went to hospital again. then came home. yeps.

Now this part of the post is dedicated to the person i offended. :( boo.

Weien:
Sorry, i only meant the Taokaenoi thing as a harmless joke. I thought you would just laugh at it, but i thought wrong. So, i apologise for everything luh. :(
Very Sincerely,
yongliang.

ok. i'm done. sorry!

An apology is the superglue of life. It can repair just about anything. ~Lynn Johnston

i'd hope it repairs friendships...
