Happy Birthday samuel!
Today is Samuel's birthday and he has turned 18!
He can finally buy alcohol and pornography!
woo hoo!!
Haha. Spent the last 3 days at Song Yuan's palatial residences. Its a really nice, big house with a cool home theatre, pool table and a seemingly lifetime's supply of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream.
Had a really enjoyable time there, celebrating Samuel's Birthday. Bought him a shirt that says "HAVE A NIKE DAY" HAHA i think its damn cool.
NOw my eyebags are monstrous.

season
Regular readers of this rather pathetic website would know that the 2007 soccer season has ended a fairly long time ago.
I didn't want to blog about it initially as i wanted a fair, subjective view on the whole hooha and not be blinded by hatred.
"If you look back when we started, and then where we are now, then that is progress" are the words of coach.
People might view the HC soccer team as a bunch of perennial no-hopers and based on results, no one can argue against such a view.
7 games, 4 losses (vj, sa, ij, cj), 2 draws (tj, mi) and 1 win(aj) hardly makes for optimistic reading.
Yet, when we first started, we were a motley crew of people who had never played a full game before, let alone x number of DSA slots.
When i first came, i hated the team or rather the lack of team spirit. Cliques were everywhere and the backstabbing was revolting to say the least. Yet, as time went on, I was no longer fighting for my place.
This no longer became about me.
This became a team.
Then came the never ending, morale sapping roll of friendly losses.
It seemed as if the light at the end of the tunnel was a pinprick and it was never coming closer.
However, we picked up form at the right time and we kept fighting on after that.
Luck will always factor in to any circumstance and when you lose your captain after 15 minutes against the defending champion and his season is over.....
season whirled past and then, it was the last match.
When it was over, the tears just flowed as what i had worked for just culminated in a bittersweet swansong.
i don't think anyone saw it, but i was just happy.
I'm thankful to many people. To my class, who always sent me cliched but nevertheless touching words of luck.
To my teachers, who were understanding throughout this period of time.
To YOU, for unless crying sessions.
To TObias, Ruiyi, Louis, for being bench buddies.
To kc, for the never ending love-hate relationship over the right back spot.
To coach for the neverending guidance.
To genesis for betting to shave her head and keeping me motivated.
To shawn and samuel and deborah and my emo kaki wanjing for the support.
To my ipod for allowing me to block out all other people so i can pretend im asleep.
To jing ji(golden rooster) for the late night dinners and the occasional free french fries.
and lastly, to Class of 2007, Team Hwachong.
thank you.

So you stole my heart,
and wrote me a ransom letter.
Demanded i treat you better
Should i ever want it back.
And now im all alone.
Dreams are all forgotten
Memories all turned rotten.
It's not the same on the phone.

heartbreak
when it rains, it pours.
Saw the Hwachong RJC finals at Toa Payoh Champions.
I saw tears whe the final whistle blew.
Everyone was kind of down and the hurt on the netballers faces were so heart-rending.
The score difference was about 10 points i think.
sigh.
rome is burning.

first date
went to carnivore, brazillian churrascaria today with chihua.
The food was decent; the volume of food served was scary.
So scary, the both of us couldn't walk properly and we spent most of the time in the toilet.
Met class mates after that.
had BEN AND JERRY's MERLIONSTER.
That thing is soo sinful.
haha.
dance night was awesome.
is this good enough?

Barring a seriously screwed up change in weather tomorrow, Season will end tomorrow.
It is seriously a bittersweet ending.
on one hand, i cannot wait for it to end.
The levels of stress and emo-ness have reached stratospheric proportions and i seriously cannot take it anymore.
The anxious waits that were usually compounded with disappointment were painful, to say the least.
Yet, as i look back on what i have done, all i can feel is regret.
Regret for myself, and what might have been.
All i can contend myself with is the knowledge that i gave it my very best shot.
The countless afternoon staying back and lubbing sessions with kc and tobias and the DEEK will always be a part of me.
Tomorrow is our last match.
AJC.
We were so painfully humiliated by them and i want payback.
I try and i try yet i cant seem to fly.
My soul full of pain and deprive.
I wish i was perfect and god knows i tried.
But everything i do
Tears your heart in two
I wonder why.

sin
had a most unproductive weekend.
played soccer, first with hc soccer, then with norton.
That training session, we had a match between j2s and j1s. It was the most fun match in recent memory where everything just felt right. Football became a language and it was at its most beautiful. I'm sure the people who took part in the match felt the unspeakable team spirit.
Norton was fun. Played with a few small malay kids. So small already speak vulgarities and act like bengs. Grow up sure die one.
Sunday was SLACK day. oh yeah.

rome is burning
This is a scene when one of England's proudest clubs Leeds united are relegated to league one.
I guess what goes around comes around. What goes up must come down.
Five years ago they proudly hosted Valencia in the semifinals of the champions league.
I guess its Southend and Nottingham forest next season.
Everyday i go to school and i see people around me depressed.
With results, with performances, with their dreams.
I wonder if this is just isolated to Hwachong.
Or is this emo-bug rampant in singapore.
It's sickening.
And i hate being a part of it.
I seriously cannot wait to graduate and donate the next two years of my life to nation building
There, i seriously dun have to care whether im good or not.
Its not that i hate hwachong
I love the class
I love the team
heck, i even love athena
But this school is one which pushes you to excel
Failure is not accepted.
Today was labour day.
Woke up and i didn't want to do anything.
hell yeah, its a labour FREE day
