napfa today. there are 2 different perspectives of looking at it actually.. the optimistic way and the not-so-optimistic way. ok not-so-optimistic first. i failed! or rather, i got bronze, which technically isn't a fail but in reality it is cos it would condemn guys to an extra 2 months of bmt. so yeah i failed. the thing is i failed 2.4 and passed everything else, which is soooo damn stupid. stupid stupid stupid. since primary school, running has always been a problem. i simply cant run for nuts. from pri 3 to sec 2, my lousiest item would be 2.4. of course, that's before sec 3, where pull-ups became the most dreaded item. by then, i could run properly. but of course, that's before i got appendicitis which put me out of action for 8 months and screwed up my already-lousy fitness levels. anyway, now the optimistic side. i passed pull-ups and sbj! breaking a 3-year streak of not doing pull-ups, to do 5 today. so, yay. and i passed sbj (which i screwed up last year) so, in the optimistic sense, it would be easier to train for 2.4 rather than pull-ups and sbj.... (or so many people tell me) just cant help feeling useless sometimes. it seems like such a long time ago when a special someone once told me: "you're not exactly fit, not particularly smart, but you're a nice guy, and i love you for it." i loved her too.

timooo its getting hot in here.. May 6, 2007 - Subscribe

i feel absolutely sick now.. literally. its like there's a rollercoaster going around my stomach trying to give my food particles a good workout. i feel like im about to jus throw up anytime but its not happening yet (wonders if that's a good or bad thing) its really the weather. either that or the chicken rice i ate for lunch. probably the weather. i dont think my fragile self can stand being exposed to the 35 degree heat in midday for an hour and then entering an 21 degree room for about 2 hours, before i get exposed to the raging heat outside again. and in the evening it gets all nice and windy, jus to make you fool you into thinking that actually the weather wasnt that hot today. such brutal weather. stop global warming! (but not by switching off air-cons please) tag weijie hmm thats cos ure injured mah. haha anw it was some bb award interview :s s1771m thanks! i'll train hard for it

actually sometimes i dont think the world is as unfair as it seems to be. its like there are these balancing factors that somehow cancel each other out so that it becomes fairer. like: how smart people arent good looking, how people more talented in sports arent as talented in studies, how good looking people have lousier results, how no one can ever be the best in everything, how the smartest people have naturally lousy physical abilities, how school dropouts still become millionaires, how ugly guys get the pretty girls. hmmm. it actually sounds pretty unfair, really.

had combined choir practice in church today.. super tiring. imagine singing for 3 hours! no joke, man. anyway, played badminton with the youth fellowship ppl after that. kept getting owned by joseph.. haha. surprisingly, jeremy turned up.. and he brought 4 rackets! ate at bedok after that. while i was on the bus going home, there was this guy sitting in front of me. and he was like reading his phone messages for such a damn long time. so i got curious and started erm.. shifting my position abit so i could see his phone too. and it seemed like that poor guy actually got dumped by his girlfriend. drama mama sia. quite sad really. but then, i have limited sympathy for such people. yesterday.... i went shopping! totally weird day to go shop but well, the feeling was there. and so i followed that feeling around the shops in town. looked more than i bought actually. lydia's party at night. raffles town club.. totally swanky place. what can i say. damn. the food was great. shall go try that stupid gp essay. adios (: tag chris if i did, i'll have gotten a nobel prize by now. and i'll choose to be happy everyday! bec yay! cl yeah i certainly hope so. hope dangles on a string though. khyrul u where got no girl? haha. and u where got not talented in sports. adeh then i go jump down already lah. lol van u forgot to say u have the greatest tan in the world too! cs cl chill lah.

timooo mothers' day May 13, 2007 - Subscribe

had an interesting bus ride today.. again. bus rides are jus so naturally interesting. took a bus from tampines to go for tuition in the afternoon.. pretty crowded. so there's this couple, who i'll assume are married cos they were carrying ntuc bags with toilet rolls and detergent in it (i mean, if they werent married and staying together they wont buy toilet paper together right?). anyway, the husband receives a phone call and starts talking. after exchanging all the required pleasantaries, i heard the first "f*ck" from his mouth. then, his next 10 words consisted of something like "oh my god" and "oh f*ck" repeated with other variants of the same word. so, being the curious person i am, i turned to see if the wife had any reaction to his colourful language. there wasn't. so i was jus thinking that since the wife doesnt mind such vulgarities, they would probably use it all the time when they argue right? after all, they dont seem to mind the use of it. and then i was thinking how sad it'll be for their children to grow in an environment like that (assuming they have children). the moral of the story this incident is: be grateful your mother brought you up in a clean (literally and figuratively) environment. happy mothers' day.

timooo sometimes May 18, 2007 - Subscribe

sometimes i think i'm a very good actor. some things in life, should never be compromised. i'm glad i didnt (: on a sadder note, vj crashed out of A div soccer in the semis, losing 9-8 on penalties after drawing 1-1 with rj. i realise i dont really care too much about the full day that would have come along. its more like a matter of winning or losing. being the impartial person that i am, i'd say that vj deserved to win based on their abilities and style (jus like arsenal). but rj did put up a tough fight even after they went down. but then again, it never helps when a referee denies a blatant handball in normal time. oh wells. there's always next year. tag xl totally agree. life is fair sometimes. van yeah you're not short. jus abit vertically challenged, that's all (: van + xl now now, stop flirting on my tagboard already! weijie see whether my wallet got money next week or not. :x naim yeah true. sad life.

if you ask me whether i would rather go vegetarian or to die, i'll choose the latter. i think the amount of calories i took in during dinner just now is gonna cost me like, 10km of running to burn off. that's what happens when you get someone who's mentally exhausted, has a voracious appetite, and when there's an offer of eat-all-you-can. i think i took the eat-all-you-can a little too literally. the running is gonna hurt real bad. but i shant worry about it now. tag bec yeah i learnt the art of it from YOU! s1771m hmm sounds good (:

timooo learning May 22, 2007 - Subscribe

i must say i didnt learn much anything useful today. gp was spent trying to get into the high score list of worms' golf in shafiq's phone, while maths tutorial wasnt informative since i didnt have time to do the tutorial. physics lecture after break was slightly better cos at least i learnt something called root-mean-square current. slacked at the concourse for an hour after that while waiting for the rain to stop. kept thinking the rain would stop soon, so didnt bother to do any work. sianz. if i had known i would spend 1 hour there, i would have done something more productive. went back to st hildas jus now to learn more about the new subject-based banding system for primary school. no, i wasnt actually interested. jus that my parents were busy so they sent me down to listen since im supposed to be free. actually the new system is pretty much the same, jus that they arent "labeled" as EM1,2 or 3. basically, people who take a lot of "foundation" subjects are the the EM3s, while those with "standard" subjects are the EM2s, and the EM1s are those with hmt. its really not much difference lah. maybe a teeny bit more flexibility and less stigma for the EM3s, but that's about it. anyway. i'm actually already mentally counting down the days til the holidays begin. the pre-holiday mood, i call it. oh, and i'm counting down the days til great singapore sale begins too! (for you ignorant shoppers out there, it starts on friday) and its gonna be the last GSS with 5% GST cos they're raising it to 7% in July! *collective intake of breath* so make use of the opportunity and treasure your 5% GST while it lasts! adios

timooo last day of school May 26, 2007 - Subscribe

last day of school yesterday. as expected, we got our planned full day. full days arent fun when we know about them in advance la (like smone else said..cant rmb who) but anyway, im not complaining. since the class didnt have any activity (as usual), i went to the gym for a quick workout, then went to bake in the sun for a short while. its really quite nice lying there in the sun, jus letting the heat get to you and enjoying the occasional breeze. went to meet trev and mei after that at compass point. had mos burger for lunch then we went library to uh.. read books? haha. thought of going to support girls soccer finals but decided not to since i had to travel so far to get there! and so few ppl in class were going (as usual). took nel to kovan then hopped onto 81 home. if normal mrts (east west line or north south line) were like the nel ah, i'll start dumping buses and take the mrt instead. hah. shall go sleep adios (:

timooo i did not! May 28, 2007 - Subscribe

please stop asking me whether i went shopping today! as much as i would like to, i am not an obsessive shopper. if i had the financial backing, i could would be one. but i don't. sadly. i wanna go shoppppppp! so my first day of the holidays was spent studying. woww. anyway jus came back from a run. i guess most people would be pretty pleased if they cut 26 seconds off their previous 2.4 timing. but im not one of those people, simply because im still in that friggin E range! faaaaaaailure. actually i was rather surprised how i managed to trim 26 seconds off my prev timing after i ate that deliciously sinful ben n jerry peanut better cup on saturday and that sinfully delicious mcflurry yesterday. maybe havent digest yet lah. speaking of mcflurrys, ive yet to recount my exciting story (yeah totally exciting okey). timo had gotten off bus 39 at the first bus stop on drive 1. tuition had been mentally draining shit, and timo felt super sian, only thinking of going home and flopping onto the bed and falling asleepzzzz. as he walked down the pavement, suddenly (really) the image of a mcflurry floated into his mind. the smooth vanilla ice cream, mixed with bits of oreo, blended into perfection. so then he reached the traffic junction. turning left would lead him home, whereas turning right would lead him to the home of mcflurrys (and golden fries and cheeseburgers.. but we're not talkin about that now). so he was faced with the decision. home? or mcflurry? the two reigning forces in timo's mind started this huge debate. angel: go home! think of your bed.. nice and comfortable leh. devil: tuition ended so early, dont go home yet leh. angel: jus go home. think of the consequences if you eat that mcflurry! devil: mmmm.. that delicious vanilla served up with crunchy bits of oreo! perfect after that brain-draining maths tuition. what a way to end the day! angel: think of all the running you'll have to do! all the sweat, blood and tears! devil: so drama mama sia. this ain't no soap opera. angel: its a few hundred calories we're talkin about! devil: aiya you still hafta run anyway wad. might as well get some enjoyment before that right? angel: (helpless) nooooooooooo.......... what a dramatic story. rolls eyes at myself. tag chris heh that way crumplers maintain its exclusivity wad. van okay! looks for discounts for toilet paper s1771m okay. yay yw its nice and new and all the stations are air-coned. cldnt you guess? haha van hmm that's a very good point too. so clever!

vesak day today.. not that it meant anything to me. but hey! its a public holiday.. not that it means anything since its the school holidays as well. anyway had 4h gathering on tues.. actually a sleepover lah. darren hosted us at his place and it was really loads of fun (as usual). i mean, what can you expect from a bunch of guys you've known for so long? if vj days were half this good, i'll be quite happy already. okay i wont start comparing apples and oranges. so we trespassed into AHS to use their street soccer court, but well its still public property so who cares? its not like we did anything to it, other than enlarging the holes in the goalpost's netting. poor nickolas had his face smashed by chris' ball. okay, abit exaggerated but it has to hurt damn bad. if it had happened 10 minutes earlier, it would have been my face there. felt abit bad la.. lol khyrul, chris, junyu, handoko, nickolas, justin, willis, weijie, terry, johnnie, sanjay, darren, joshua you know that these people rock when you can jus rattle their names out all at one go.
