Although time waits for no man...

The sensation of someone tiding through everything thing with you is truly superb.

And she has no qualms about riding through everything single ordeal with me.

Fatigue is overshadowing my true self.

Thank You.

SPH Media Club Workshop

Hi all.

You can't believe it. I finally stepped foot into the Singapore Press Holdings' buildings. The building was about 7 storeys high and the surroundings were all roads and just a few buildings and just buildings, or some HDB residential flats around. But it was truly one amazing and spectacular experience, for I get to see the 'inside' of the building and best of all, an insight into the place where journalists, photojournalists and whosoever working in the News Centre, and the settings and all. The building was nicely furnished, air conditioned, no doubt. And I should say it was just, extravagant.

So we headed to the auditoium for the workshop on how to pose questions during an interview with a celebrity, sportsmen, or just the normal citizens who help create news in the papers all day round. News makers, the people in the journalism sector would call it. We were then given a short talk on the 'do(s)' and 'don't(s)' in an interview, some useful tips and advices that we can apply when interviewing people and to ask thought-provoking questions.

One of the tips I like best is this.

After having asked a question, keep quiet and let your news making talk. Don't interrupt. Let the people being interviewd USE THEIR OWN WORDS to speak so as to get BETTER QUOTES.

Great one.

And to make today's session look like the 'real' thing, in fact, it IS real but in an informal way, SPH invited Aide Iskandar, the captain of the Lions team as the special guest. We got to ask him questions regarding his soccer career and all. The feeling was like WoW! Heehee, although I have only heard of Mr Aide Iskandar today, he sure created a good impression in me. I wasn't paying close attention to te interview session, except during the time when I, myself asked him 2 questions. It is such a pity that I didn't bring along my camera with me today. Else, I could have taken some photo shots of him and yes, the ASEAN cup trophy that the Lions team won through many hard work and rigorous training 2 weeks back.

And man, the cup was HUGE! We were not allowed to lift a finger let alone touch the trophy. Well, I guess it serves as a form of respect for the Lions. And only members from the Lions are permitted to touch the trophy, when they won the cup...

There is no other day better than today. I mean the invaluable experience and skills I acquire.

Till here then.

Farewell February 24

This post is specially dedicated to the date 24 February 2007.

Today has been one of my most enthralled moments of the year. Well, up till past two months of the year 2007, at least. I won't forget today and memories of today shall stay embedded and etched into my memory. I don't want to go senile cuz I want to remember every special moments of my life! ROFL!

To my Mum, thanks for the Black Forest Chocolate cake you bought for me! It was yummy and yea, for the past few years, you have been buying Chocolate cake for me for my birthday despite your abhorrence towards CHOCOLATE!

A BIG THANK YOU! NOT JUST TO MY MUM, BUT EACH AND EVERYONE OF YALL PEOPLE OUT THERE!

I'm getting older and there is a high stake involved with every step I take. But I sure am getting wiser as the days go by.

THANK YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Finally, I'm 14. Wonderful.

Turning 14 comes at a really high price. 13 years on this awesome world. What I'm feeling now is beyond the description of words. Or should I say, More than Words. Every individual in my life has made an impact on me and groomed me into what I'm now. Much thanks to everyone. The reason why I said turning 14 comes with a high price attached to it is because I know the past years had been tremendously difficult and if not for those who tide me through all the bad times, I can't imagine where I would be right now. Really, GROWING PAINS, GROWING GAINS.

I think I'm getting quite long-winded over now. Heehee. Now, time for the credits to start rolling!

First up : Amelia, Cheryl, Kelly, Melissa - for everything
Rosiani, Alifah, Athirah - the mug
Hazura - the smiley heart-shaped clock
Kelly - the paper crane
Melissa Tan - the Puzzle
Kenneth - the Death Note book
Weechong - the Teddy Bear
Jiahao - the 'I have no Comments' badge
Lastly, My birthday well-wishers.

I have nothing but words of gratitude for each and every one of you guys.

Not forgetting, those who share the same birthdays as me or whose birthdays are nearing
-ME!
-KhaiFang, My Twin!
-Shaun, 25 Feb
-AlvinAng - 25Feb
-Everyone born on 24 Feb!

Chill.

This year's trademark line : I want to feel easy.

Downturn of Events

Today was so much of a flop. First was the History test paper. And then came the Math Class Test.

Well, as usual, the duration for the History paper lasted 1 hour, which I deemed too short, for someone like me who process words and questions at a really slow pace. Blame my poor time management. It is like so shit. And I ended up scribbling nonsensical sentences that I think were irrelevant and I bet nobody in the world would understand.

Then came the second trauma after the History paper. We had the Math class test in the second period of the lesson. I finished the paper.... or so I thought, 'finished'... but when the paper was to be submitted, I found out there were 5 more questions worth 10 marks left undone. Oh, you can kill me for that. I really feel like banging my head against the wall. And the 5 questions were on page 2!!!!

Poor time management + Carelessness = Go ahead and get ready to flunk your papers

I hope there wouldn't be a recurrence for tomorrow's Literature paper. And I really hope the school can call for a time extension for common test papers. 1 hour is simply not enough.... for someone like me!

So much for the slogging and preparation work. I shouldn't have studied after all for my work were tantamount to a person who did not at all study.

But still, what is over, is over. this is for me -> ^^ (get over it!)

Caught in the Middle. I'm torn between the things that I should do... but one thing is sure : I will find a way! I guess that is what is required to approach all situations. After all, don't people always say,"If there is a will, there is a way."

But it seems like I'm currently hovering in mid-air, aimless. Speaking of mid-air, the thought of birds suddenly came popping up into my mind... yea, if only we can be like them... In times of adversity, I think the best way to counter it is to embrace the wonders of nature around us to give us a peace of mind. Yes, peace. LOL. Nature is the best thing on Earth... run along with the water streaming down the river, play hide-and-seek with sparrows, and climb hills and trees... "climb hills and trees" reminds me of the song "Seasons in the Sun". Looks like I gotta kick this habit of me constantly having spontaneous ideas and thoughts or rather reminders.

A puzzle made of pieces you can't find
And for me you never really had the time
I was blind.

And everything that you meant to me
Is written in the pages of my history
But it's over now
as far as i can see
Suddenly

There are things we can change, if we just choose to fight
But the walls of injustice are high.

I thought it'd be easy i was wrong.

*Not forgetting, Happy Chinese New Year to yall people!

Irreplaceable Idols

Since I havent got anything much to blog about, I'll just come up with a random topic.... How about, My Idols? Seems to be a nice one.... I'll start off with naming them... and yea, most of them are japanese anime or movie characters.

No 1~! Fuji Syusuke of Prince of Tennis. I think he has an alluring charm that attracts others to him. Hmm, he has the X-factor of a gentle and caring guy and he breaks into a smile so often! I so love him!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating : 10/10

No 2~! Tsukasa Nishino of Ichigo 100%... simply too cute. Heehee. I think i am in love with her! Go ahead and kill me and I'll still say,"She is cute and I love her!"
Rating : 11/10 (see, i tell you guys i love her!)

No 3~! Ken'ichi Matsuyama of Deathnote aka L. He seems to be one attentive guy who is really selfish in love. I think being selfish is a good thing but not overboard.
Rating : 9/10

No 4~! Wilber PAN! WOOOOOOOOO... he is way TOO COOL + HANDSOME.. somehow i think he has got a cutie pie face! You are too damn perfect!
Rating : 11/10 or 10/10?

No 5~! Shirota Yuu... another character who starred in the Prince of Tennis movie released in Japan last year. He plays as Tezuka Kunimitsu in the movie, who as the Seigaku's team captain in the tennis club, is an extremely strict and serious guy. But in real life, Shirota is WILD! MY sis loves him too!
Rating : 11/10

You can leave me tomorrow if it suits you just the same.

the story goes...

And yes, this is for Amelia.

Mi amor I'm not sure of the right words to say
Maybe these simple words will do best to best explain
What I feel in my heart
What I feel more each day
How to make you see
How to let you know
How to say how to say how I love you so
With words you understand
Words that get right through to your heart
Here's the place to start

[CORO]
Tu amor,
I will always be
Tu amor,
means the world to me
Estarás siempre en mi corazón
You're the one in my soul
And I live for tu amor, tu amor.

Mi amor love you more with each look in your eyes
Maybe these simple words will do best to best describe
What I feel in my heart
What I'll feel for all time
How to make you see
How to let you know
How to say how to say how I need you so
With words you understand
Words that get through to your soul
Words that will let you now

[CORO]

You're the one thatI need in my arms
Believe me these words I say are words that come straight
from my heart
How do I make you believe
Nothing else means as much as what you mean to me

[CORO]

Thank me Amelia! ^^

If only I could absolve myself of all responsibilities... Right now, I'm tangled up in a heap of junk as in a mystery case. Someone, unravel it for me! And if only I could be impervious to everything and anything, life would be so damn shiok. I don't want to fluff things right now but I do not want to be overwhelmed by them.

When it comes to studying, I somehow can't make up my mind on which subject to revise for... but in the end, I will still be studying... hahas. I'm injecting lots and lots of efforts in my Math, Science, Geography.... and apparently, i'm struggling with workload for HMT and chinese. But then it seems like my efforts havent yet bear fruits. Hmm, since like i gotta come up with something refreshing and new, fast. My current mindset is just not right and I have to find a new alternative way to better improve myself. On History, I'll say i'm doing normal... guess i have to dish out some time for that too.

And yes, I came in the 20th position in yesterday's run. So much for my foolish-ness. But then, I dont regret running. If I can turn back time, I will still choose to run. HEEHEE.

And there were, on my run, lots of people giving me moral support. Special thanks to them! hahas, you guys are my idols! =)

LOL. Who is the cool one out there?

lets get chilling.

The Deal

I hope I will be in my best physique form tomorrow.

After all, it's all thanks to my insistent attitude that I will be able to run tomorrow. I hope people understand. I won't forgo this chance. I know the sports day medal is of much more significance but still, I'm "staying adhesive" to my original plan... because I love it that way. Sorry if I've said this too casually but no offence intended, seriously.

Basically, I think running is a way to 'free up my mind'. And most importantly, to evade from certain unpleasant events in life. I know it will be hard to finish in top 10 tomorrow... but to prove the people wrong, I gotta put in my very very best and run like a mad bull tomorrow... I guess I'd better catch an early night sleep today so as to energise myself and generate my engine to its limit tomorrow. Or perhaps I should drink RED BULL! hahahas, that was just for laugh, I have never tried Red Bull before...

Oh yea and this is the answer to the question lennard lim asked me today (first of all, lemme give you guys a rough idea of what he asked)

Lennard : Maychin, disappointed ah? (referring to the math test which I scored 10/19)
Maychin : Yea, I'm sad but what else can I do except to revise more and study harder? (or perhaps smarter?)
Lennard : (breaks into a laugh) CRY!
Maychin : (wondering) why?

I have only got this answer for you Lennard the Cow :
Results mean something yet nothing. It is how you manage your life and making sure you are not being overwhelmed by unhappy events that matter. And yea, flip to Week 6 of your organiser and you will see this line that goes :

A moment of time may make us unhappy forever

Seems like I have not yet run enough in my veldrome of life to say this but still i'm gonna say it. I will continue running the laps there remain to be in my life and glean whatever skills necessary and further impart them to others.

For now, all i have on my mind is tomorrow's ROAD RUN! I CANT WAIT! AND I know the Run cant wait for me too!

Musical Night

Today was Splendid and Superb.

The whole event was run quite smoothly with no mishap or whatsoever sort of disruptions. The various musical groups staged a fabulous performance and the night was, awesome.

Anyway, after the event had folded, we went to dine at The Cafe Cartel with Raist and fellow pals... well, the usuals. On the way, I saw a full moon hanging high up in the sky and started mimicking the sound wolves make... something like "woooooooo".

Weixin's daddy then gave me a lift in his car. Thanks lots bud!

*i'm a bit drawn out over here so pardon me for this short posting*

I hope time comes to a complete standstill because of fear of what comes for me...
So please. Freeze for one second.

Deadlocked.
