Bukit Timah Conquered!
dimanche 28 février 2010

Conquered Bukit Timah hill today! haha
Okay la I didn't really conquer it. Some uphills were VERY steep, had to dismount and try riding up again a few times. And some downhill sections really scared me so I went down them very very slowly, locking and sliding my rear wheel in the process. Soon I'll need a new set of tires. And I think my chain is beginning to stretch cos it now appears to be quite loose :/ And my chain is prone to derailing the wrong way after a hard drop.

Sigh, money money money.

But today was fun. hahah. Pictures [:

Lost
vendredi 26 février 2010

I feel so lost now these days. I don't know why but I feel like I've been walking around aimlessly in HCI. Starting to wonder if its the school for me.

I guess one of the reasons is that everyone has begun their CCAs or are already in a CCA, except for me. Everyone seems to have their niche area. Zong Xian has dance, Voon has violin, Kai Rou has badminton and 黄城 and Leonard has Tahan.

I enjoy cycling and playing pool. I enjoy shooting too, thanks to a good experience back in NCC air, but Air Rifle doesn't want me. I love kids and helping them, that's why I volunteer at LIFE on Saturdays. I wanted to make helping children my CCA via Interact, but they didn't want me either ):. Neither of the remaining 2 is a CCA. Choose a CCA which you have a passion in, but what if there's no CCA left that feeds your passion? :/

And I guess I feel aimless also because there's no one I'm close to here in HCI. Back in Cat High, I had Wei Kit and Wei Xuan, and the PB EXCOs and the ever supportive NCC Air and 4-1. But here in HCI there's no one I can have a heart-to-heart talk to, let alone pour my heart out. ): Maybe I suffer from social anxiety disorder. :/ I really wish that my 'extroverted online' self can be my real self. There's no one to rely on here. I always felt it was better to have a small group of extremely close friends rather than a large group of acquaintances, however what am I to do when my small group of friends aren't here with me?

And the way HCI works is confusing me and to a large extent stressing me out. They have so many programmes. Science research, A*star research, Leadership programmes, buddy programmes, olympiad competitions, and everyone seems to be in them, except for me. There's a certain feeling of being left out, but I wouldn't want to be in these programmes either because they aren't my kind of thing. I like other things. So it's quite stressful, a kind of dilemma, everything seems to be done for the sake of your curriculum vitae.

And now there's this service learning thing. I have to get approval before I can proceed on my CIPs. But I've already started on my LIFE programme! Why do I have to get approval to do simple CIPs such as tutoring children LIFE? If the school needs evidence that I have actually clocked as much hours as I claimed, I can provide an endorsement letter or get them to contact the beneficiary. I'm also going to organise an outing for LIFE in June, but this service learning thing is really confusing me, because I need to get approval, again. I feel as if the school is trying to track my every move, I don't really like the feeling of being watched and followed.

But then again, like my mum said, they want to keep a record. Maybe they want to ensure that you really did the CIP so they asked for your reflections as well, to make sure you didn't do it for the sake of CIP hours. But sometimes I feel, what you learn isn't something you can simply put in words. It's more of a mentally affecting thing. Something that creeps into your head stealthily, but benefits you for the rest of your life. Maybe they're just trying to help...

But I like that kind of freedom where I am free to do what I wish without accounting to anyone... OK that sounds wrong, but I hope you get what I mean.

Sigh, I really don't enjoy school as much as I should because it's so confusing here. I miss Cat High.

I flew off my bike
dimanche 21 février 2010

Instead of going to Track 15, I decided to go to Bukit Timah Mountain Bike Trail today. I set off from Bishan at 2 and arrived at 3.17. Could have reached slightly earlier if not for the drizzle and the detour into HCI boarding school (I was curious!!).

Believe me, the moment I saw the start of the bike trail I was so daunted I was contemplating to turn back. But I decided to give it a shot. It was a freaking gnarly uphill rock garden. First try, I was on my largest chain ring and smallest cog, I got stuck the moment I hit the rock garden. I turned back and adjusted my gear ratios. Second chain ring, 4th largest rear cog. Went a little higher and got stuck again. Last try, smallest chain ring, 2nd largest rear cog. Went straight up.Thought I nailed it, then I got stuck. -.- Gave up and pushed my bike right up.

Before me was a narrow dirt trail. It didn't seem much of a challenge so I heaved a sigh of relief and cycled, 15 seconds later, a VERY STEEP INCLINE FACED ME. I'm really sure it's more than 45 degrees steep. Stopped. Reversed. Switched to the smallest chain ring and 2nd largest cog and rode straight up. Did it. XD

Cycled a little further down and suddenly I couldn't see any trail before me. Stopped. Pushed, and saw a freaking steep downhill. And there were some small logs in the way. I love cycling down steps. Thinking this would be no harder than cycling down a flight of steps, down I went. I reached the foot of the slope, thinking everything was nailed and done, when I flew right off my bike. -.-

Till now, I'm not sure what exactly happened, but complacency kills. HAHA. I picked myself and my bike up and went a little further in, but decided to turn back as I was afraid that my bike might had suffered some damage.

And when I arrived home, the rear wheel gave way -.-

Dad put it back in place and I quickly went to the bike shop. The uncle again taught me a lot of things and helped service my bike.

Why I fell:
1. I forgot to lower my seat.
2. I forgot to lower my tire pressure.
3. Because I forgot to lower my seat, I didn't lean back far enough during the downhill.

Well, we have to take some knocks to learn something. HAHA. [:

I'LL CONQUER YOU, BUKIT TIMAHHHHHH.

The downhill where I flew off my bike. Got to be Superman for half a second

My left arm took much of the hit, it seems.

My left leg is surprisingly not very seriously injured. XD

LIFE

Went for my first LIFE session of the year at Waterfalls Student Care centre. My task was to help a Pri 3 boy with his English homework. But after an hour, all we managed to finish was 5 questions. And I probably was the one who was doing homework. :/

I feel that I'm not well-equipped to help the children at LIFE, but I still gotta try :/ Hopefully LIFE would provide training sessions for their volunteers in future. What I feel LIFE needs are skilled volunteers, only then can the children benefit from the LIFE programme, otherwise the kids will still not be able to understand their schoolwork and would be unable to improve.

Being unskilled now, I can only cover 5 multiple choice grammar questions with a Pri 3 boy. Hopefully after gaining some experience I'll be able to do more for LIFE, otherwise at this rate, I don't think I would be of any help to the children at LIFE.

However, my experiences at LIFE is also what fuels me to pursue a career in Early Education. What I saw today only reinforces my perception on the importance of early education. Foundation is really very important. So is family environment though.

Going back next week, we'll see how it goes. We need a new game plan :/

BTW, look at the previous post, CFTH IS RECRUITING. [:

Taylor Swift
Superstar

This is wrong but
I can't help but feel like
There ain't nothing more right babe
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face

And I knew from the first note played I'd be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar

Good morning loneliness
Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you
When my world wakes up today you'll be in another town
And I knew when I saw your face I'd be
Counting down the ways to see you
And you smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar

You played in bars, you play guitar
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Sweet, sweet superstar

Coming Home
mardi 16 février 2010

Sigh, the rest of the CT have gone to watch Valentine's Day at Shaw Lido, while I'm in a bus at the very start of a 5 hour journey home. ): I WANT TO WATCH V DAY AT THE CINEMA! Anyone wanna go with me? [:

I've got 5 hours to burn, so I'll be typing a lot of random thoughts in this blog post. [:

I just finished reading Conviction by Richard North Patterson. It was quite an interesting book, although very draggy. However, it was talking about a very realistic problem that is plaguing the judicial system, so I guess it was worth persevering to the very end of the book, to realise the novel wasn't at all a fairy tale. Interesting read, worth a try.

Spoiler Alert starts from now!

When the body of an eleven-year-old Thuy Sen is found in San Francisco Bay, the police swiftly charge Rennell and Payton Price with her grisly murder. A twelve-person jury, helped along by an incompetent lawyer for the defence, is quick to find the brothers guilty - and to sentence them both to die for their crimes.

Twelve years later, Payton is days from his execution, and overworked pro bono lawyer, Teresa Peralta Paget, her husband, Chris and stepson, Carlo, a recent Yale law graduate, become convinced not only that Rennell didn't receive a fair trial, but that he's innocent. Racing against the clock and against insurmountable legal obstacles, Teresa, Chris and Carlo desperately try to stop the execution of a dead man.

Thuy Sen was found 12 years ago to have choked on semen and similar samples of semen were found in the Price brothers' living room. Samples were also found in the trunk of a car belonging to their "business partner", Eddie Fleet. Eddie Fleet had claimed only to be the transporter, whose duty was only to transport the body to the bay, the blame was entirely pushed to the Price brothers. The Price brothers who had a money-minded Coke addict for a lawyer, quickly bought them a ticket to the death row due to numerous tactical errors during the trials. Flora Lewis had seen 2 black men pull 11 year old Thuy Sen into their home. She had identified them as Payton Price and Rennell Price, however, in reality, whom she had seen were Eddie Fleet and Rennell Price. Eddie was a pedophile who had a fetish for forced oral copulation.

12 years after the trials, Payton and Rennell were days away from execution. Payton made an eleventh hour confession, saying that the real culprit of the murder was Eddie Fleet and himself was an accessory. The Paget family battled against the egoistic judicial system as a well as time, to petition for a delay in Payton's execution, so that he would be able to testify in court to Rennell's innocence. However, the delay was denied and Payton executed. Flora Lewis had died of old age. There were no witnesses to the incident left apart from Eddie Fleet himself.

Despite the efforts of the Paget family to prove Rennell's innocence, Rennell was executed on July 22, as the courts refused a reversal of the verdict to execute Rennell simply because sparing Rennell would be to ignore and undermine the AEDPA as well as cause chaos to the entire judicial system.

In this novel, it shows that sometimes, being innocent isn't enough, which is very realistic. If the courts were to spare Rennell and grant him a retrial, the many other death row inmates will also inventively come up with "new evidence" to delay the execution, however if they did not grant Rennell a retrial, they would be executing an innocent man, which is equivalent to simple murder. However, murder was the choice the courts chose. The life of Rennell wasn't worth causing chaos to the system.

The problem of racism was also covered in the book. Cross-racial identification has been deemed as highly unreliable (this is a real truth). In the story, Flora Lewis identified Payton and Rennell, instead of Eddie and Payton. In fact, she did not even see the faces of the 2 black men clearly when the crime occurred, as she was in her home, 90 feet away from the doorstep of the Price family home. However at the line up, all she needed to do was to identify her neighbours from 10 feet and deem them as murderers.

Sad story. In the end, Rennell was executed, although he was really innocent.

That's why I don't wish to be a lawyer. I don't want to be a defendant for a criminal, because I feel that if a criminal has really committed a crime, he should be punished for him, and I would feel guilty for allowing him to scot free or escape with a lighter sentence. I wouldn't want to be a prosecutor either because I may cause an innocent to be punished, even executed.

Sigh.

I just finished my on-board meal. It's 4:24. Gah the movie started. ); sian I want to watch V Day! Someone go watch with me pls pls pls.

I donno why, but for the entire trip, it seems like EVERYWHERE is playing the songs in the Ares dance soundtrack. Like "Boom Boom Pow" and "Hotel Motel'. I think I heard everything except the "tempo has reahed critical limit". HAHA. When Hotel Motel started playing in my cousin's car, when the A-R-E-S part came, I muttered, "A-R-E-S". Hehe. [: And when the "Boom Boom Pow" part came on I can totally imagine the "try to copy my swagger" part. haha. I find that part of the lyrics and dance pretty funny, I don't know why. HAHA.

Sigh, still so far away from home. HELP. ): And there's school tomorrow lehhhhh. SCHOOL. Means I won't get my adequate rest.

This has got to be the most unlucky weekend ever. No pool, no cycling, no v.day, no V Day the movie, and then lesson proper the very next day. I'm only arriving home, like at my doorstep close to midnight. Sigh. ):

I HAVEN'T CYCLED IN A WEEK AND A HALF. ):

Do you think Taylor L will go watch V Day with me? (: I don't dare ask anyway :/

I'M HOME. I'M FINALLY HOME. IT'S 11:02 NOW!

lundi 15 février 2010

It has been a long day today, but it was pretty fruitful, I'll explain why later. [: I just returned home from my 二姑妈's home. HAHA. For the first time in 3 days, I HAD CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET! [: I managed to post 2 Facebook status updates as well as to quickly check the HCI ISP and SMB and went online for 30 seconds. Turns out that the bio online test was only supposed to be done on 2ND MARCH -.- I thought it had to be done this weekend, made me worry unduly.

Anyone going for the Nepal OCIP? [:

And for the first time in 3 days, I could receive SMSes! Suddenly received SMSes saying "Happy New Year/Happy Valentine's Day!" from everyoneee. HAHA. Cheras has bad communications infrastructure I guess. I managed to receive day-old SMSes only today when I went to 拜年 somewhere else. HAHA [:

Now for the fruitful part of today. Today, I realised the complexity of my family tree. My dad has 2 stepbrothers. I knew they were my dad's elder brothers but never knew they were his stepbrothers till today. And my paternal grandmother is my dad's biological mum, and the step mum of my dad's 2 elder brothers, and my 二姑妈 is my dad's biological sister.

We went to my dad's eldest brother's house to 拜年 today. Like my paternal grandmother, he stays alone in a one room government flat. He is already 70+ years old, has problems moving about but has kept the house spick and span. Today, when so many of us visited him; my many cousins, my grandmother, my 二姑妈 and 二姑长, my 大姑妈 and 大姑长 went to visit him he was so touched that he teared. I didn't know how to react but the entire scene moved me. When I passed him a paper bag to "拜年" and said it was for him to eat in Cantonese, he began to tear again. My uncle is a stubborn man, according to recounts from my dad and my 二姑妈。 To see him moved to tears today moved me deeply too. And when my uncle teared, my 二姑妈 teared as well. I think my uncle is a lonely man, living alone, with nothing to do to occupy himself. Although my grandmother also lives alone, she is a devout Buddhist and she - in a way - has her religion to accompany her (my grandma chants scripture 24/7, really!). On the other hand, the only thing in my uncle's house that I saw that can 'accompany' him is a portrait of his late wife.

Another thing that moved me was his determination. When we were about to leave his house, he went to his room. We all wondered what he wanted to do and then he returned with red packets. As he had difficulties walking, my 大姑妈 helped him to pass the red packets to us. Although we did not want to accept the red packets, he insisted that we have them. Although the red packet only contained RM2, his sincerity was worth more than that. I see him as a man of dignity.

The scene today at my uncles house would always hold a special place in my heart. I think it's fate's way of teaching me the meaning of Family. And I think my uncle is a brave man. [:

I suggested to my mum to go have reunion dinner at his home next year to keep him company, we'll see how it goes next year.

I guess family ties are the ties that never break. [: I experienced that today.

I want to join Fac comm. But how? :/

I'll be returning home tomorrow, and all my blog entries will be uploaded then. [:

Have fun reading!

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR [:
dimanche 14 février 2010

Sunday February 14 2010 00:00

Happy New Year everyone! And Happy Valentine's Day Taylor! [: How is everyone? I'm...not so good ):

The only thing keeping me going here in Malaysia is that I'll be able to come home day after tomorrow. Every New Year, I experience and understand the saying, "No man is an island". Every Lunar New Year, I sever all connections with the outside world. I can't SMS, call, MSN, Facebook anyone. I'm serious. There's no contact with familiar persons. ): It's a depressing time each New Year. ): sigh.

And every New Year, I'm stuck here in a small shabby flat. Plus, it's a lot messier than my bedroom. (Wei Kit will know how messy is messy. haha)

Thank god for my Bento for keeping me entertained with Crazy Taxi, and the ever reflective Notepad. [: Notepad is my best friend when there is no access to Blogger.com. Reflection keeps me sane and my mind hydrated and well-nutritioned.

I started on a new book yesterday. It is titled "Conviction". The blurb of the book says that it is about 2 brothers who were convicted 15 years ago for killing a young girl. Despite numerous trials, the brothers plead not guilty, but every time the jury finds them guilty. This year, a lawyer realises that there is more to the case, together with her stepson fresh from Yale Law College, the race against the clock to prove his innocence.

Quite interesting book so far, although I'm not even done with chapter 1 yet. HAHA. I'll try to finish the book, but here in Malaysia...the sweltering heat is killing me. And, there's no time. ):

Bet you guys are enjoying yourselves right, going around house to house, lounging at home, watching a movie or 2, making full use of the long New Year weekend. While here I am stuck in Malaysia without any connection the the outside world, or more importantly CONNECTION TO THE FREAKING INTERNET!!! Sigh. I should be going out with my OG, cycling, reading, maybe revising some JC stuff, and enjoying myself. But all I'm thinking of now is coming home ):

I should be spending Valentine's Day in Singapore going out with Taylor lor. But then again I want to go out with her she also don't want to go out with me ): haha!

I wanna go home... ):

I wanna be on the next plane home!

New Year's Eve
samedi 13 février 2010

Arrived in Kuala Lumpur at around 1am last night. My 二姑妈 and my 二姑丈 picked us up at the bus terminal and brought us to my grandmother's place, a really really small government flat in Cheras.

Went to the market at Pudu with my parents just now to purchase some groceries, that are necessary for my grandma's new year prayers as well as our "reunion dinner". You know, I would rather do math the entire day than to visit that market. :/ It's a wet market, much wetter than the "wet markets" we have in Singapore at Tekka, and the small one in Bishan North. It's really really wet. Wet with mucky water [: Feel like a commando yet?

So tired ): And bored. I'm totally disconnected from the outside world, stranded in this small room. We have become very dependent on the Internet yeah?

Sigh, and I miss Taylor L.

Anyway, I believe many of you have read about the Stomp Article "I am 10cm taller than him." It's an article posted by the 'girlfriend' or even 'fiancee' of a Catholic High student. As a Catholic High alumnus, I feel..."embarrassed". The couple met on the online game, "Maple Story". They dated for a period of time and then the guy asked the girl to be his fiancee. Wow.

For now, I would like to bring your attention to an article the Telegraph Mobile published. It's called,"Valentine's Day: How do I love thee? Let me count the probabilities." A mathematics tutor at Warwick University has calculated the probability of ever finding true love.

The man, Peter Backus estimates that our chances of finding love are just 1, one, uno in 285,000. So, we have about 6 million people in Singapore including foreigners. If half of that were women there are about 3 million people. And probably 3/4 of that amount would be the amount of women that are in your suitable age range, that would make 2,250,000. Of this amount of suitable women in Singapore, only 7.8, or 8 women MAY be the one. A small number, and it's still a "may", a probability.

So...how sure is our dear Catholic High gentlemen sure he has met the one?

Fine, love is illogical, love is blind yada yada, yeah I've been through all that. -.- Who hasn't? Anyone of this age with raging hormones WOULD SURELY go through all that. (Btw, this sentence is a fallacy haha.) Correction: Most people would have gone through all that. So let's ignore the math. You are currently schooling, would that girl burden you, or assist you? Well, from the pictures I have seen on Facebook, I have good reason to believe she would be burdening our dear Cat High gentleman, or vice versa. Why? If they really knew what they were doing and the severity of the issue, they wouldn't have snapped pictures of themselves while they were still in school uniform, uploaded this Valentine's Day article on Stomp and gathered so much flak, or in geek language, get flamed.

I do know of responsible young lovers who do understand what they're doing. Their dates mean going to the library and tutoring each other. And then, they also do well in school! Or, they cut connection from each other except during the weekends and holidays, or times when they are free enough to take up this additional "subject". This kind of behaviour, I commend and applaud. But then, it's a rare case.

If they were really serious, and mature enough to well, fall in love, I think it would be done in some form of secrecy. You know, 地下情. haha. You wouldn't let the whole world know and then let gossip affect your relationship. Your young and tender relationship will probably be known to people your are really really really really EXTREMELY close with. Which means, your very inner circle of friends, and not the ENTIRE Singapore population, unless you're telling me you're very close friends with the whole of Singapore.

Sigh. Then again, it's their choice.

Standing on their side, I don't think they should be "flamed" so badly either. They are still young, still learning, and this may just yet be another learning journey arranged by fate. [:

So, let life go on, make mistakes, and fall in love this Valentine's Day. HAHA [:

Words I wish to say:

Leonard - I just realised our birthdays are exactly one month away. LOL.

On The Way
vendredi 12 février 2010

Ares won the Fac dance today at HCI POP (Post Orientation Party)! I'm blogging on my coach now to Malaysia, just got past the Malaysian Customs, so I'm really actually typing all this in a notepad file, and will be transferring all of this into my blogger.com account as soon as I get access to the Internet. haha [; So cool right, I'm typing in real time, but by the time you're reading this, you're looking back into time. The next few blog posts will be the same. Cool to the max. haha.

A-A-A-Ares! We won fac dance 2010. But it came as no surprise though, if Ares wasn't gonna win, who will? [:
But really, a lot of effort have been put in to make Ares' fac dance a winning dance. Prior to all the practices and the performance today, many of us were complete dancing noobs. Honestly, I can't dance, ever since 2008's Investiture, I swore never to dance again :/ However, Ares' fance I/Cs, Hao Jie and Mabel were...pro [: hahaha. After all, they transformed us from noobs to a winning dance crew! HAHA. And then, our dance was very well choreographed. If any faculty other than Ares won today, really can cry. :/ HAHA. [:

Sigh, I love Ares. <3>

Sharon - Taylor L is a brilliant codeword [: Hope your headache is better already when you're reading this. HAHA.

Leonard - Win liao lah. [; A-A-A-Ares! woohooo. We'll win the Milo Triathlon too. I'll cycle as fast as I can and you better swim as fast as you can man. HAHA.

Signing off now. [:

It Stops Today
Colbie Caillat

No, no, I, I, I, I, I don't want to break when I speak
I don't want to shake while I'm standing
I don't want to crawl into another hole
I don't know what I'm hiding for
No, I, I, I, I, I don't want to fall when I stand
I don't want to have to hold your hand
I just want to be the girl I use to be when I was me and worry free
I know these burnings on my own

(Chorus)
But I can't keep on running
No I just can't keep on running away from here
I know that the only way to be is to fight my every fear
I'm not going to make it 'til I turn around and face it alone, I know
I can't just keep running, no I just can't keep on running away
So it stop today
(End of chorus)

So here I am, I'm taking my first step
Thought I was losing balance but I caught myself
I kind of like the challenge, no I don't need help
I'm going to make it past the very start
It's always been my hardest part

But I, I, I, I, I'm going to stay in control
I must admit this crutch is getting old
I am going to throw it out of my hand
I'm finally here, I understand
I know I'll get there on my own

(Chorus)
So I can't keep on running
No I just can't keep on running away from here
I know that the only way to be is fighting my every fear
I'm not going to make it 'til I turn around and face it alone, I know
That I can't keep running, no I just can't keep on running away
So it stop today
(End of chorus)

(Bridge)
You can hide from all the pain
But it will find you anyway
Yes, I know, now I know

(Chorus)
That I can't keep on running
No I jus't can't keep on running away from here
I know that the only way to be is fighting my every fear
I'm not going to make it til I turn around and face it alone, I know
That I can't just keep running, no I just can't keep on running away
So it stop today
(End of chorus)

Dear Diary...
Last Day of OG games
mardi 2 février 2010

Today's the last day of OG Games already ):

I take very very very long to warm up to new people, and when I'm almost there, it's the last day already ):

OG 31, you'll be sorely missed ):

Hope we'll be able to get together soon!
