Heya people, guess who decided to do a new post(finally!)?=D
Well not much has been happening, just that the Chinese Prelims are coming up this Friday and I know that God will help me through to pass and score better than I can ever imagine=)
My ankle is feeling MUCH MUCH better yays!!!!X3 haha I can run abit now and jump, although it'll be about another month plus before it completely stops hurting though=P. But hey, through God's healing, I'll be perfectly fine soon and stronger than ever:D
And I started doing ninjutsu with Ti and Terry last week. My first lesson was kinda rushed, but it doesn't matter cos its freaking awesome=3 I'm gonna catch up soon just wait and see.
Oh and lastly, I'm contemplating on using Picasa to upload photos here( My bro and I just found out about it, and we think it's AWESOME^_^ thank you Picasa!) because I'm too damn lazy to upload them one by one, and it would give me a quick+convenient way of updating my blog through photos(so all you stalkers out there can see my lifeXP) without typing and editing and arranging and stuff.
So yeah, that's all for now. See ya around!(after the prelims!)X3

Wow I haven't blogged in a long time....guess I lost the mood to blogXP
Its the hols now, and I haven't really done any substantial work but, yeah. I can manage. I'll make it through. I've been doing that for the past 3 years in this dysfunctional school, so how bad can it be?=)
My ankle feels much better, albeit still stiff. I thank God for healing my ankle so quickly and I know that He will help me be able to parkour again really soon^_^ Just have to go physio a few more times...
That's all for now...nothing interesting happening except that I am LOVING my life without swimmingXD I feel so free for the first time in 6 years. The amount of free time I have is amazing. I'm Lovin It.X3

Okay, so I sprained my ankle on Monday. Yup, just the day before my competition starts and I sprain my freaking ankle. At first I was panicking and all, but then I had this wierd epiphany and realised that I DON'T GIVE A D@MN ABOUT SWIMMING anymore. That's right, in my mind my swimming career is as good as finished already. Now I just have to wait till next wednesday when our Interschools actually finish, then I can get on with my life. And boy, will I be happy.
Once we stop swimming, I can finally practise parkour whenever and wherever I want to, I can start going for the ninjutsu classes with my bro and Terry, and I can actually focus(yeah rightXP) on my studies more. But not to say that I will totally never ever touch water again for the rest of my life, I will still train with ACE(our school's swim club) about 2-3 times a week; if not to keep fit, then only to see him... But like I won't get fit doing parkour and ninjutsu anyways=)
And I plan to work out at the school gym after school about 3 times a week, to get more strength and core power especially for parkour. And also, when I told my friends that I would still continue swimming leisurely after school, some of them actually wanted to join me!XD How cool is that??!!! They actually wanna join me to swim after school for fun! SO AWESOME:D and what's more one of my classmates who was a ex-swimmer(he's in chinese orchestra now) wanted to take up swimming again and asked me to write a training set for him!!!^_^ I felt so honoured and embarassed but yeah I tried my best to write a proper set for him. Hope he finds it okay O.o
So yeah, my life is gonna be REALLY happy after we stop swimming. I will definitely have no regrets about leaving swimming(except for the friends we'll leave behind, but we can always keep in touch*sniff*X3) and most importantly I will be doing WHAT I MYSELF want to do. NOBODY can stop me from doing parkour, and I now know that parkour IS what I wanna learn to do(along with ninjutsu, hopefully).
So, SAYONARA swimming(wow alliterationXD) and HELLO brand new life=) I seriously can't wait. Now I just need my ankle to heal, and I'll be up and running again(literally) in no time. Eeep I wanna practise parkour so badlyX3 Frontflips, backflips, wall runs, vaults.... The world is wide open for me=D.
P.S. The week before I sprained my ankle, I was practising rolls in the school hall with Terry. We tried jumping off the stage and rolling, and it didn't hurt at all! FINALLY!!!!!!!XD Admittedly the stage was only about 1.3m high, but still=) We're making progress!!!!!!! Soon we'll be able to jump from like, 1 storey up. Haha just kidding, we still suck and we're nowhere near that level yet but soon....practise makes perfect, and once I quit swimming I'll have soo much time... I promise, I AM gonna learn how to parkour decently.

Okay, so last Wednesday(7th April) when I was warming up during training, I suddenly thought of Toothless and Hiccup. And I had Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus as well as Oh Star by PARAMORE playing in my head. And I actually CRIED when I was swimming halfway. Like, in the water. Still moving and kicking and pulling and everything. And when I reached the end of the pool I had to duck my head underwater so nobody could see me crying. I must have looked a sight, eyes and nose red, swimming and half-sobbing at the same time. I continued crying for about another 8 laps or so, cos the songs just kept playing over and over again in my head and I was so touched and I guess I just felt for them, you know?(so now you guys know my prefered pairingsXP so sue me.) In the end I had to take off my goggles cos my tears were pooling inside them and making me go blind and I forced myself to stop crying before the set ended.
And the next day, I thought of Ronan Keating's When You Say Nothing At All and I teared.
And the next day, I thought of Two is Better than One by Boys Like Girls+Taylor Swift and I cried a bit again.
And a few days later I thought of Chances by Five for Fighting and I cried again.
And I also thought of Hallelujah by PARAMORE and I cried myself to sleep.
And I also thought of Light Up The Sky by Yellowcard and I became emo for a bit.
And last night I was listening to Vanilla Twilight by Owl City and I teared again.
Note that during all the above I was thinking of Hiccup and Toothless. Not just some random emo outburst.
So I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I really really really adore the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless. More than words can say. And I actually want that kinda relationship too...but I guess it's probably never gonna happen. Not in this life, at least.
So, yeah. Sorry if I seem a bit emo in this post, but I just needed to say how I feel. It's so hard when you can't tell anybody...

Recently, the India students came over for about 2 weeks and today is their last day in Singapore(to be more accurately, in school). Boy will I be glad to see them go. Seriously, I thought that coming from India and all they'd be more streetwise and alert than us, but NO. They fool around, lose their stuff easily, and get LOST when we bring them to East Coast Park. Urgh, I know I sound so un - ambassador like, but I seriously don't think I could have taken it for much longer. I'm glad they're going, and hope that the next time I have to play ambassador to anybody won't be too soon.
The only upside of the outing we had on Saturday with them was the fact that my bro and I got to hang out with our friends, and that I got to watch HYYTD again for the second time=) Now I only need to watch it another 3 times to feel satisfiedXD TOOTHLESS!!!!!*squeal*
On further hindsight, I realised that if we didn't have to take care of the Indian students, the outing would have been an awesome one. With only our friends and all. Ah well, when all's said and done, at least I got to see Toothless again=)
And now I am going to make another post gushing about HTTYD. Because I feel that it deserves a post of it's own, and I don't want it sharing the same post as the Indian studentsXP

Just watched How To Train Your Dragon with Terry and Bumsoo at J8. The movie is so cute!!!
Or more accurately, Toothless is SOOO CUTE!!!!!!! OMG KAWAIII!!!!!!!=3 His big eyes look so sweet omgawsh hahaXD Makes me wish I had a dragon as a pet as well;D A Night Fury yeah that would be AWESOME.
It's nice to see more movies about dragons being made nowadays=) Go Dragons!!!!!!!X3
I liked Astrid's hair in the movie, Hiccup's hair was quite cool as well. Good ending, good plot, amazing graphics, overall a great movie to watch(especially for dragon fans like me!)
Can't wait for the second(and subsequent) movies to come out;3

Just went for one of the most awesome English Teas I have ever had=) On thursday after school our lit class went with Mrs Smith to a English Cafe around Holland Village called "Fosters, The English Rose Cafe" and it was super funXD I even got to ride in Mrs Smith's car to the place and I kept camwhoring with my frens and took lots of photos. You can see them on facebook if you want, I was using my fren dillon's camera so he posted the photos on facebook. And Mrs Smith even suggested that we go to New Zealand at the end of the year as a Lit class together, so I'm hoping it can come true:D
oh and I tried parkour-ing around my estate yesterday afternoon, and it wasn't all that bad, but I think that if my skill level were higher it would be so much more fun=D plus all the people staring at me make me feel really uncomfortable. I also tried jumping off a 2-metre plus high wall for the first time; probably the highest I've ever dared to jump off from. I stood at the edge for like, nearly a minute trying to calm myself down and tell my body that it would be okay. In the end I jumped and didn't hurt myself, but the balls of my feet had this really pain sensation for a whileX( Either I'm still not landing porperly or my body isn't accustomed to the strains of doing parkour yet. Either way, I REALLY need to learn how to do a proper roll soon, especially if I'm gonna continue this kind of stuff and want to take it to a higher level.

Heya guys, sorry for not posting for a while but I've had a pretty crazy first week of school, what with the Sec 1 orientation camp and all. So for those of you who don't know, I'm a PSL(Peer Support Leader) in RI and my job is to take care of the sec 1s for the entire first term and act as their buddies/mentors/big brother etc. And from Mon to Fri last week we had this whole orientation thing planned out for them, what with First Day of School on Monday to Orientation Camp from Tue to Thurs and the Junior Rafflesian Investiture Ceremony(JRIC) on Friday. It was really insane at times(sleeping 4 hrs a day during the camp frm 2-6am; showering at 1.30am once a day), and I felt sooo tired and cynical A LOT of times, but we made it through, and I feel a sense of accomplishment.
On a side note, the camp was so awesome!!! I loved Fright Night(hehe obviously, since I was the one scaring them) and Armaggedon and the War Games and the Water Games the most. It feels so good to be the one shouting the orders for once=D Thank you so much Sec 1s, for an awesome start to the year! I hope you guys enjoyed the camp as much as we guys did!;D
All the PSLs generally agree that the apathy and cynicism that we had growing inside of us since sec 2 was cut down by quite a bit(but not all of it!!!) and I feel a bit sad at how fast time flies. Looking back I can still remember MY own orientation camp and at the time we were so helpless and clueless(kinda like the sec 1s this yearXD), and now we are the ones leading them and we have to grow up just that bit more for them and for ourselves(even though I'm happy I got my first taste of authority, I didn't like it that much. I think its overrated).
Okay enough emoness.
Ugh I don't know why, but I can't seem to get in the mood for studying!!?? It still feels like the holidays to me, and I know that school has just started and all but maybe that's the reason whyXD Because my entire first week of school was spent taking care of the sec 1s, technically yesterday was my first day of proper school. AHHH I really pray that I am able to get into the studying mood quickly - I NEED to FOCUS this year.
And if you guys look at my last few blog posts(I did) you would realise that I was going through this wierdly EMO phase during the later part of the hols(like December). I don't know why I had it, but I think that I'm slowly getting over it now=) Going back to school and hanging out with my crazy and super-fun friends probably has something to do with it, but I think that watching Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 also had something to do with it. We watched it on Sunday afternoon, and I really have no idea why but when I was watching it something inside me just went click, and after the movie I realised tht the world didn't look so grey and bleak anymore=) I am smiling more and more now, and laughing more too:D I don't know why; maybe its the sheer retardedness of the movie or the cuteness of it, I dunno. But somehow, AATC2 has cured my emo problem, so as crazy as this seems, THANK YOU, AATC2, for doing just that. I'm becoming my old, happy self again and boy does it feel great. I'm even willing to forgive their desecration of many good songs, although if they dare to Alvinise any of Lady Gaga's songs I wil personally go down to Hollywood and kick ther furry butts. So once again, thanks Alvin and the Chipmunks 2=D.
Well, that's all for now folks, I need to sleep soon. Bye for now, and hopefully I will have something else to blog about soon!XD

And guess what people! It's 2010!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!!! And its the first blog post of this year! YAYYYY!!!!!!! Haha I sound so hyper, and I just finished a blog post just now too(look at the timestamps) but who cares?! It's a NEW YEAR!!!!!!! A year of New Possiblities! New Hopes! New Dreams! And O-Levels?!
Er the last blog post(ie, the one I just did like 20 mins ago) was kinda rushed, cos I was trying to do it and get downstairs to the TV to watch the New Year countdown. And there were like 10 mins plus of non-stop fireworks, so it was quite okay=)
But I really didn't make any New Year's resolutions, because I think that I won't do them(or most of them)anyway, and I know I'll feel like crap if I look back at the end of the year and see how much stuff I DIDN'T accomplish.
Well, I'm off to bed now, got some lovely training in about 5hrs time! See ya'll!!!!!XD Love the New Year!!!!!
