Sigh.

I hate stay out. I wanna stay in. Why? 'Cos my mum is starting to nag at me to teach my brother maths, and wants me to become a teacher. Not that I'm lazy or selfish, but shouldnt one try to do the sums prior to approaching help? And shouldnt the teacher in jc be more than adequate to help him? (READ: Paying of school fees is so darn high....-.-')

I hate this life. I'd rather stay in, just like last year. Never mind the nights without tv, without computers, without girls, without the many pleasures and nice amenities outside. I'd rather a life in OCS. Training, working hard, and not bothering what happens outside. Even if a bomb explodes outside, I doubt we are hardly affected... (j/k)

Sucks. Great, so my brother wants me to help him, my mum expects me to do the maths till late, not play, and just sit at home to solve maths in the hope of "revising my maths". bleah. If this is gonna work, I'd rather be off teaching tuition now. Moreover, I get moolah. Not through this though.

And I'm glad I rejected the teaching scholarship, cos if I meet such people who never try and go for class, I'll most likely die of heart seizure or blood clot. Heh.

Oh and yea. Miss Ng (Mrs Chong), my former teacher, actually told me that jc maths students outta learn maths themselves. Asking ppl to do work for them is tantamount to inviting trouble to themselves. Which I concur.

Teacher's Day tml....yesterday went to my Sec Sch and JC to meet up with the teachers, talked to quite a no. of them in fact! Too bad, mostly as busy as ever, haha...

National Day Rally

First by our 3rd Prime Minister, LHL, and a dang long one at that....I was impressed how he managed to get the audience awake for a lengthy 3 hours plus. And yea, my mom slept through it, my dad and brother got turned off and switched off the tv barely 15 mins into the speech...

AND THIS HAS TO BE THE LONGEST NATIONAL DAY RALLY TO DATE! -.-'

Time to see what are the initiatives he has put into the speech...

First is the interesting 5d workweek...where people get the Saturday off and work from Mondays to Fridays for a longer period of time than the current work schedule. Interesting? Radical? Applying across the board for the govt sector at least, I guess this is gonna be some major change, once implemented that is.

Next is the baby bonuses announced. All the initiatives to promote more childs to be born, with longer maternity leave (from 8 to 12 weeks)...and a whole lot to come...

Guess will read the papers tomorrow...the news reporters are gonna curse man :P

Olympics Fever!

Oh yea....as predicted, Jiawei will succumb to Singapore's pressure and lose! It's not that I'm gloating about the loss, everyone will definitely feel her sadness when you see that the 500K is so close yet so far....slipping out of your grasp in the last minute. In this case, she was SO SO SO close to winning....leading 11-8, 6-11, 11-0, 11-8....then she self-destructed, lost control and allowed the North Korean to come back strongly, attacking viciously and found no reply, and in the end succumbed -.-' Gee...

To Summarize...

Today was a great day. I think.

Morning was a tough and challenging 14km run. Woke up @ 5.30am for this run @ Pasir Ris Park. Gee. Why tough? Cos I ended the run with a slight butt muscle strain and my left side was basically aching. And challenging cos I was slowing down towards the end due to me being tired (slept late yesterday nite) and I had like 7 ppl in front of me. Not that I wanted to chiong or anything...

Then I took bus 88 home, took a quick shower and changed, went out with Euphie! ^_^ She returned from the chocoland for quite some time le, so was really eager to see her haha! Had lunch over @ Taka's Crystal Jade Kitchen, which was not REALLY crowded, and surprisingly so, cos it is a Saturday and it's lunch period?! Hmmm....maybe due to the table tennis semis in the late afternoon, a probable cause for a decrease in crowd in the city? Probable, but not conclusive.

And I had a GIANT ChupaChup brought back from chocoland! Sorry la, really very excited haha! Cos dunno how to eat such a big one -.-' It's bigger than my mouth, heavy enough to use as a club....lalala....And I gonna announce to the whole world now anyway :P haha... Bringing it home was a difficult task....used a newspaper to cover it...Dun wanna scare other ppl with such a giant chupachup :P Hehe..

Oh yea, with the upcoming Olympics match, we were actually saying that Singaporeans tend not to fare well in major sporting events when the attention is on them...Geez, look at Susilo. You know what I mean? Everyone wrote him off to lose to Lin Dan, and Jiawei to Wang Nan, but both of them still won! And when the media spotlight is on Susilo, he lost terribly without a fight to the Thai dude. Heh. I expect the same fate to occur to Jiawei. Why? 'Cos losing when the media spotlight is on our sportsmen is more and more of a disease. A bug. When you falter with media and country pinning high hopes on you to deliver, it shows you have assimilated into our society :P (This is from the netizens of SGForums wahahaha)

And the game is starting....

I,Robot

A fascinating movie, which is inspired by Issac Asimov's Famous Three Laws of Robotics. Gives pretty much a brooding feel to it, and I'm so awe-struck to the movie that I find that I can very much relate to the movie, as well as the themes which they are portraying (i.e. Are robots good? Will they disobey the 3 Laws? If Man created robots in his image, won't that mean that robots are liable/prone to breaking the basic laws which they have been bestowed upon, esp. since humans are doing so themselves!?). How Will Smith goes about to piece together the puzzle, it's all crafted nicely :)

So, drop by for this movie! It's a MUZ WATCH!

King Arthur

A movie, but....not too good :( Nice fighting scenes tho, sweeet :P

I'd prefer the Arthurian Legends...haha. Like a fish outta the water -.-' No body, no main plot...I couldnt grasp what it wanted to show o.0'

Too bad couldnt catch an earlier movie, as the 9pm ones were all SOLD out by the time I arrived @ Orchard. Met up with Rowena, and from Cine we went to PS and then Suntec to catch the show, in the end caught the 2330hrs show, and it ended rather fast actually. 0130hrs to be exact :|

Hmm, NDP was okay today, Dinner WAS DAMNED hectic. Darned. I've to make adjustments. Lessons learnt, and I'll note it here. But lunch went on smooth, though there WERE problems at each place as they were like giving out the food whilst sorting out how many were delivered, and not having enough 'cos they NEVER indent...

Haiz. And the HEAVY traffic jam. Wasnt told that it would start so early -.-'

And, reached home @ 2am. Sheesh. Meter in cab jumping like crazy x.x

Lessons learnt:

1) Check back with those quiet ppl who never ever bring up anything to you. They tend to give problems later.

2) Rations have to arrive earlier than required due to traffic jams. Esp. for the Preview and Actual. Will die if this happens again. Priority has to be given. ^^"

3) Always note the schedule. Seems like it is the only one which would tell you what are the probable stuff happening in the day.

4) Never to go Orchard to watch movie after the evenings. It's ALWAYS crowded ^^" Esp. well-liked movies...haha.

VCH

I realised how to get to VCH from Raffles City. Today that is. And I WAS almost late -.-'

Attended a performance by the Dance wing of Fuzhou Association under the behest of Zhen Yi. Not bad, and it was a good performance, though I was pretty hungry and tired ^^" as I rushed down from camp and had not eaten anything since lunch, which was quite light. (Bfast was also light...cos of GAS...). Met up with Calvin, Janeiro and Jian'an (photographer for the event). Met up with Zhen Yi after the performance, and I must say that she looked cute in that school uniform in one of the acts lol!

Updated news that Jian'an has gotten himself a girlfriend, happy for him sia. And Zhen Yi was one of the assistant chereographers for one of the acts too, and the entire performance being performed in front of 2 ministers for GRCs, it is one great achievement for her too! Really glad for both of them.

After that, went out with Calvin and Janeiro for dinner, at first wanted to have light snacks ('cos I was darned hungry) at TCC at Raffles Place, but it was closed, though it din look closed to me at all... Next we walked further down to Lau Pat Sat, where we had satay and talked quite a bit. Saw Casmir and his friends over there, and they had played tennis before going down for some supper. Another thing! Saw CO, and he said he was going to buy some 'chow' for his family as supper... lol. Really weird to find him there! Haha...

When going home, quite sian, 'cos it was 2310hrs and most of the taxis which are empty REFUSE to stop to pick up passengers. Then there was one where the 3 of us boarded, only to be told that he had a last-minute call for his taxi service. Bah. What attitude. And to hear them say that they have very little customers. With such attitude, I won't be surprised. So after like 40 over cabs zooming past me around the area, I managed to flag (finally!) down a cab which took me home in 13 mins at a cost of 8 bucks, considering that it was ard 2330hrs at that time... Really really relived...

Luckily, tomorrow morning on off, so... ^_^

Still need to go out with them for a night walk some day...maybe after NDP. haha...
