dear avid readers of this wonderfully dead blog. i have been discovered!

ohnos.

well anyway i believe in harvey dent. DO YOU?

check out the website it's pretty nifty.
and in the US they even have a 'dentmobile' and stuff. gah.

was thinking of getting some shirts from threadless tees. but all the nicer ones are sold out. as usual. this (sold out) shirt was rather amusing though.

notice that awesomely random creature at the bottom right hand corner.

the sole purpose of its inclusion in this picture, it to put the COCK in ROCK. literally.

yeah you've got that right. shirt's called "rock out with your cock out".

and back to youtubing.

chinese new year. resolutions.

2008-01-26T15:18:00.000+08:00

seems as if i've missed the opportunity to right the wrongs of 07. so i'm taking chinese new year (c'mon we're chinese aren't we) as an opportunity the set things right.

what bugs me and haunts me in my sleep is mediocrity. being mediocre. an average joe. a layman. something which i am slowly being reduced to. i'm supposed to be stepping up, finding another gear to grind out a victory over the opposition. but all i'm doing at the moment is playing their game. why can't i play mine.

UNDERACHIEVEMENCE (lol). is. horrible.

pools of sorrow, waves of joy

2008-01-11T23:21:00.001+08:00

what's the complication, it's only conversation

2008-01-06T00:44:00.000+08:00

today was such a waste of time. totally unproductive.

can't afford to have too many of these days :/

and i didn't even get to play tennis with the horrid weather and what not.

everything seems to be stopping me from playing tennis, holding me back. i should really get going again, start hitting some (tennis) balls. i'm not too sure how my court coverage is at the moment either. oh no oh no oh no.

school seems like a foreign place now. without the nice bridge. without last year's year6s. with this year's year5s. i never understood the senior-junior thing. and i suppose i never will.

oh well off to bed now. ttfn!

2008-01-05T01:43:00.000+08:00

hello world!

good morning!

this will probably be the first and last time that i post an entry for the year, for the simple fact that this year's supposed to be really really important, and not to mention 'packed'.

anyhow, i thought i'd make it a point to post because... well honestly, i have nothing better to do at this unearthly hour other than to wiki random stuff (yeah that's how bored i am).

this might be the year federer wins a grand slam (i.e. all the 4 grand slams), with nadal's injury problems seeming to be getting the better of him (his knees i think?). so i suppose tennis-wise, it should be pretty exciting. on the other hand, the emergence of new players such as djokovic last year and injected a new sense of belief that the competitiveness of men's tennis will be further increased by the emergence of 'new talent' every year.

the beijing olympics on the 8.8.08 too.

i'm a people person. and i'm sad. nothing seems to be helping. oh well.

the ib (chinese) results are out on monday, i'm kind of looking forward to it, since it means free SL3 periods (grr at math). but i suppose i'd have to think it over if i got a 6 for chinese. i really do hope i get a 7. or risk being mocked at constantly, i'm already having it bad nuff, chinese-wise at least. haha.

feeling invisible isn't really cool. unless you're like a ninja or something. in that case being/feeling invisble would be of your own making. through the use of like black leotards, ninja (stealth) dust, and such. but this isn't of my own making, not consciously at least. boohoohoo. ninjas are silent but deadly. just like fart. HAHAHA.

ramblerambleramble. i kind of knew school would start off on such a note, but i supposed i just willed it away. getting hopes/expectations up (for whatever the cause) isn't such a good thing when you're bound to get disappointed.

that's it, i'm disappointed. and sad. depression is another matter. i'm not depressed. what i'm experiencing is momentary, temporary, and will probably (and hopefully) not happen again in like an uber long time man. THAT is what i'm looking forward to.

UP AND RUNNING AGAIN.

2007-11-16T01:12:00.000+08:00

I've decided that I shall, from this moment, try to post regularly!
Posts may not always include the usual witticism, or may not always require deep thinking.
I look upon my previous entries with (great?) regret, that they have either been long/draggy/excessive blabber, or short/senseless/incomprehensive (one-liner) gibberish!
Well for now, since it's getting really late, I shall be (loosely) adhering to this format:
-Man of the day
-Woman of the day (after all we must keep up with the times no?)
-(1) interesting observation

After all, blog entries are supposed to be a vehicle of expression! Free & easy!

2007-07-29T18:07:00.000+08:00

blahblahblabbidyblah.

this is what rain does to tennis players.

we need more indoor courts.

really.

i haven't played tennis in ages, matches have been postponed a few times over.

this doesn't make any sense.

recreational tennis is on monday (tomorrow). looks like it's going to have to be (gasps-) postponed.

okay i shall stop typing in such an irritating start-stop manner.

this is such a queer experience.

no one's going to read this anyway, because my blog is dead. (although i would like you to pointedly note that the federer express is still very much alive and kicking)

i was talking about roger federer anyway in case you failed to realise.

yes rain makes you stay indoors, and play fm07 over and over again, until you feel like smashing the computer, or (more sensibly) buying loads of players and engaging in an unhealthy rotation policy, making you miss out on buying the big players, having a huge ass squad capable of competing on a billion fronts, but with an astounding lack of quality (beside the first team of course).

lalalala. on a 20 million pound budget i managed to buy luka modric, nicolas millan, sebastian zuniga, gonzalo higuain, leobhang mokoena and the like.

i feel gooooooood.

okay i shall put an end to this post. if it even qualifies as a post. (more of a soliloquy maybe eh?).

ttfn!

PLOT

The final book begins with Voldemort and his Death Eaters at the home of Lucius Malfoy. They are beginning to plan out how to kill Harry Potter before he can be hidden again. After borrowing Lucius's wand, Voldemort kills his captive, Professor Charity Burbage, teacher of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts for teaching the subject and suggesting that the end of pureblooded wizards was a good thing.

Harry, meanwhile, is getting ready for his trip and reading an obituary of Albus Dumbledore; it is revealed that Dumbledore’s father hated non-wizards and had killed several Muggles, and had died in Azkaban for his crimes. Harry regrets not having asked Dumbledore more about his past, but this is soon forgotten as he is leaving his home that night. He convinces his aunt Petunia, uncle Vernon, and cousin Dudley that they need to leave as well to avoid being captured by the Death Eaters, and eventually they leave escorted by a pair of wizards, though not before Dudley admits that he cares about Harry.

Soon thereafter the Order of the Phoenix arrive with a plan to sneak Harry away from his house without Voldemort capturing him. Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, the Weasley twins, Fleur Delacour, and Mundungus Fletcher take a polyjuice potion to make themselves look like Harry and each depart with a different member of the Order of the Phoenix. Harry departs with Hagrid and, after being chased by Death Eaters and Voldemort, narrowly escape to the Burrow. There, the casualties are counted; Hedwig, Harry’s owl, was struck by a killing curse; George Weasley lost an ear, and Mad-Eye Moody was killed by Voldemort himself. Harry later has a vision regarding his escape; his wand had reacted with Voldemort’s borrowed wand, destroying it, and he has a vision of Voldemort questioning Ollivander, the wand maker, about why it happened.

A few days later the Minister of Magic arrives at the Weasley residence to give Harry, Ron, and Hermione what Dumbledore had willed to them: a Deluminator for Ron (known as a "putter-outer" in previous books), with the power to douse all the lights in a room; a book of children’s stories to Hermione; and Godric Gryffindor’s sword and the first snitch Harry had ever caught to Harry. The sword, however, was withheld because, the minister claimed, it was not Dumbledore's to give. The three try to discover the purpose of the objects being given to them, but are unable to figure it out before the wedding between Fleur Delacour and Bill Weasley the next day.

Harry disguises himself for the wedding, but during the wedding they all receive a message; Voldemort has taken over the Ministry of Magic. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all flee the wedding, first fleeing to a Muggle café. Though they think themselves safe for the moment, two Death Eaters find them almost immediately and attack them. Harry, Ron, and Hermione manage to defeat the Death Eaters, but thinking themselves in danger in public, flee to 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius Black’s home, where they hide themselves. The group realizes that Regulus Arcturus Black was the R.A.B. from the amulet Harry found with Dumbledore, and begin searching the house for the Horcrux. Eventually they realize that Mundungus Fletcher stole the amulet and send Harry’s house elf Kreacher to find Fletcher and bring back the amulet. Kreacher finds Fletcher, but he has already given the amulet away to Dolores Umbridge.

After a month of spying on the Ministry of Magic, the trio try to infiltrate it in order to retrieve the Horcrux from Dolores Umbridge. They ambush three wizards and use polyjuice potion to impersonate them. They discover the Ministry of Magic has changed considerably; Muggle-born wizards and witches are being rounded up openly and the Ministry itself is demonstrating its superiority over the muggles. The three discover Mad-Eye Moody’s eye has been taken by Umbridge, so they take it; they then knock out Umbridge and take the horcrux from her, freeing a number of muggle-born wizards and witches in the process and encouraging them to flee the country. However, in the process their hiding place is discovered and they are forced to flee to the countryside, moving from place to place, never staying anywhere too long.

After several months of moving around they overhear a conversation wherein it is revealed that Godric Griffindor’s sword is actually a fake, and someone did something with the real sword. Harry hears this and is heartened, and after questioning the portrait of Phineas Black, he discovers that the sword had last been used by Dumbledore to destroy another Horcrux, the Gaunt’s ring. However, Ron feels this is just another thing for them to do and, having been injured in their escape from the Ministry of Magic, he gets in an argument with Harry and leaves, leaving Harry and Hermione together. The two are greatly saddened, but eventually realize they have to go to Godric’s Hollow on the off-chance Dumbledore left the sword there for them.

Arriving in Godric’s Hollow, the two first visit the memorial to Harry’s family, then the graveyard, where both Harry and Dumbledore’s families are buried. After laying a wreath on Harry’s parents’ grave, they encounter the old woman Bathilda Bagshot, an old family friend of Dumbledore’s who authored The History of Magic. Thinking she may have been entrusted with the sword, they follow her to her house, where they find a picture of the dark wizard Grindelwald, Bagshot’s relative and once, long ago, Dumbledore’s childhood friend. However, it is actually a trap; “Bagshot” is actually Nagini, Voldemort’s snake familiar, and Harry and Hermione only narrowly escape from Voldemort, destroying Harry’s wand in the process.

On the run for a few more days, eventually a doe patronus appears on the edge of their camp and leads Harry to Godric Griffindor’s sword, hidden in a frozen forest pool. Harry strips down and dives down after the sword but the locket Horcrux responds poorly and tries to strangle Harry. Ron returns and saves Harry from drowning, pulling the sword out of the pool in the process. The two then destroy the Horcrux with the sword and return to camp. Hermione is less than pleased with Ron and his return, but had discovered their next step: to speak to Xenophilius Lovegood and ask him about Grindelwald's mark, a symbol which has shown up time and again during their journey.

At Lovegood’s home, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are told an old wizard story about three brothers who bested death, and each had received a magical item for it – an unbeatable wand (called the Elder Wand), a stone which could bring back the dead (the Resurrection Stone), and an Invisibility Cloak that never failed with age. Harry believes that his own cloak is the Invisibility Cloak, and is very excited, but soon discovers that Lovegood has betrayed them to the Ministry; Luna, his daughter, has been taken captive and he believes that giving them Harry Potter would cause them to free her. The trio barely escape from the wizards sent to fetch them, but Harry is emboldened and believes that they need to collect all the Deathly Hallows, these artifacts given by Death, to defeat Voldemort.

A few weeks later, the three are still no closer to finding the Deathly Hallows or more Horcruxes. They finally manage to tune into a rogue wizard radio broadcast, run by people they know which gives news on what is really happening. However, Harry accidentally says Voldemort’s name and Voldemort’s followers, having jinxed the name, find Harry, Ron, and Hermione and capture them, taking them to Lucius Malfoy’s home. There, Hermione is tortured and interrogated by Bellatrix Lestrange to find how she acquired Godric Griffindor’s sword, believing it to have been stolen from her vault, while Harry and Ron are imprisoned in the basement with Dean Thomas, Griphook the goblin, Ollivander the wand maker, and Luna Lovegood. Harry asks the broken fragment of mirror he has for help and Dobby appears to help him, freeing them. Dobby saves Dean and Ollivander, but they have made too much noise and Wormtail is sent to check on the prisoners. Harry and Ron subdue him, and Wormtail resists strangling Harry. Ron takes away Wormtail’s wand and Wormtail’s artificial arm, made by Voldemort, strangles its owner to death for the mercy he’s shown. Ron and Harry, helpless to aid him, rush upstairs to save Hermione with the help of Dobby. They escape as Voldemort is close to arriving, but Dobby is slain by Bellatrix Lestrange as they flee.

After burying Dobby, Harry and his friends begin planning anew. Harry questions Ollivander about the Elder Wand, and chooses not to try and prevent Voldemort from acquiring it from the tomb of its last owner, Dumbledore. Instead, he questions Griphook about how to break into Gringott’s, and in exchange offers him the goblin made sword of Godric Griffindor. After extensive planning, the group goes to Gringott’s to see if they can find one of the horcruxes in the Lestrange vault; Hermione poses as Bellatrix Lestrange, Ron is disguised, and Griphook and Harry go in under the Invisibility Cloak. They manage to penetrate the traps and find the horcrux, Hufflepuff’s cup, but Griphook betrays their presence and flees with the sword. Harry, Ron, and Hermione narrowly escape on the back of a captive dragon, but Voldemort discovers at long last that they are seeking out his horcruxes.

Harry has a vision shortly after the escape; he can see from Voldemort’s eyes and hear his thoughts. Voldemort lists off all the locations of the horcruxes, realizing now they are being sought after and destroyed. Voldemort inadvertently reveals that the final horcrux, which Harry suspects to be a relic of the founder of Ravenclaw, is safe within Hogwarts. Harry realizes that if they want to get the Horcrux within Hogwarts, they need to do so immediately, before Voldemort finds his other horcruxes missing, and the trio immediately head to Hogsmeade to find a way to sneak into their old school.

At Hogsmeade, Harry and friends are cornered by Death Eaters and saved by Aberforth Dumbledore. Aberforth opens a secret passageway to Hogwarts, where Neville Longbottom greets them. After saving Draco Malfoy's life, Harry finds Ravenclaw's Diadem in the room of requirement and it is destroyed. Harry, Hermione and Ron go to the Shrieking Shack, where they see Voldemort kill Snape, believing this will transfer the Elder wand's power to him. As he dies, Snape gives up memories to Harry, which reveal that Snape was on Dumbledore's side, motivated by his lifelong love of Lily Potter. Snape was asked by Dumbledore to kill him if the situation demands it; the curse placed on the horcrux ring limited his life, regardless. Furthermore, Harry is the final horcrux and needs to die before Voldemort can be killed. Resigned to his fate, Harry sacrifices himself to Voldemort, and is seemingly killed, but finds that the spell destroyed the part of Voldemort's soul he had inside himself. After Nagini is killed by Neville, Voldemort is killed by attempting to use the Elder Wand when his Death Curse against Harry is deflected back at him by the Elder Wand itself.

In the story's epilogue, taking place 19 years (2017) after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry and Ginny Weasley have three children named James, Albus Severus, and Lily. Ron and Hermione have two children named Rose and Hugo. Draco has a child named Scorpius. They all meet at King's Cross, about to send their children to Hogwarts at the beginning of term. It is revealed that Harry's scar has not hurt since the Dark Lord's defeat, and there, the story ends.

There you go! I just saved you the trouble of having to 1.) buy the book 2.) read the book or for the more IT savvy amongst us (with absolute disregard to intellectual property rights) 3.) download the book through torrents!

how wonderful.

hello again.
i can't believe the amount of money man u are spending.
omg it's like playing fm07, the kind of money they're throwing about.
i know that the new teevee deal's like worth big bucks and all.
but still.
it's madness.
stark. raving. madness.
anderson, nani, hargreaves and now tevez.
looks like giggs and scholes are going to be out of the team altogether. maybe saha/alan smith too.

on another note, i do get the feeling that there are people out there who are emotionally "unstable
baggage
confused
deprived
sensitive
touchy
lacking
scarred
hurt
isolated"
well, i know, that (really) stinks. just (like) hang on!
things will be better for you.
sooner or later.

2007-07-16T01:01:00.000+08:00

it's monday morning and school's about to start in six and a half hours.

i really don't know why i'm blogging now, since i've kind of abandoned this site.

but i think it has something to do with the fact that i'm feeling a little low. for whatever reasons.

there's so much work to do and yet there's so little time. my weekend just got burnt. things just aren't working out as i would like to. it's frustrating.

and yet i have the feeling that i'll be okay tomorrow, when i'm back in school. such is the nature of the pat.

hey wait a minute, i'm already starting to feel better now by typing this out.

i guess my lack of physical activity (namely TENNIS) has resulted in patrick feeling poor(ly).

tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

2007-03-27T21:19:00.000+08:00

& the last time I posted was about slightly over a month ago.

lots of stuff to talk about, but I won't. due to the sheer volume. & the fact that my memory is starting to fail me.

sorry yanyi! haha we haven't been talking at all. & omg it's not fair that you get to drive already. I think I have to wait to 21 (yep that's right TWENTY ONE folks) before I can drive. Dang. God bless Australia. Haha.

the content of blogs can tend to be either too trivial or too overwhelming. I have often gone to both extremes. so now i'll try to strike a balance between them & fall somewhere in between?

well the only reason why i'm posting now is because i don't feel like doing my work. which is bad. very bad. & somehow i don't feel happy at all. in fact i can't find a logical reason why i don't feel happy. it always feels as if there's something missing. oh well. they say blogging is supposed to like help you destress or something. damn them! haha.

ahhh i probably should start doing some work now. we all love the ibo don't we.

2007-02-24T17:54:00.000+08:00

Wowee. I actually have a devoted reader for this blog. You guessed it. It's LEEYANYI. YAY!
Well since she's doing her thing somewhere else & I'm stuck over here, I feel that it's my duty to keep her in the loop of what's happening over here. The most happening country. Singapore. Right. Anyway, LEEYANYI! I can't believe you only have to pay 1 cent a minute when you call back to Singapore. That's amazing. It's beyond belief.
Ayeee the weather here really sucks. It has been alternating between blistering hot days (Wednesday was apparently the hottest day ever in Singapore) and days with torrential rain (like today). It makes going out a chore. I guess it's a good thing.
Oh yes & before I forget to mention uncle james! He's like some ironman now yea? He makes me feel weakkk. :/

rushes off-

2007-02-21T00:13:00.000+08:00

Chinese new year has lost its meaning. Not like that's something new.

The a-maye-zing race. The feature of my other site has drawn a measure of (negative?) attention. But either way it was purely meant as an insider's joke. It has been a rather high price to pay for the reminder of the vastness of the blogosphere. Or rather the internet for the matter. Everything is so easily accessible. Especially the stuff you don't want people to know/read/see. Anyway what's done has been done. Although I acknowledge that it was rather insensitive on my part and I should have known that it would be out in the open for billions of people to see at their own will, I do give credit to myself for my mastery of English. Haha!

All you conniving spies out there! DIE! Haha.

Well anyway, copy and paste this in your web browser. "http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=409784&cc=5739"
You'd be amused. I assure you.
I shall not spoil the fun by revealing the nature of the article. Find out for yourself you lazy poots!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

2007-02-09T23:21:00.000+08:00

& you could totally regard the previous post AGAIN!
Yes I haven't been blogging or updating. SORRY for all the unreplied testimonials/tags, unfulfilled requests, and untouched emails. SORRY.

Well anyway to be honest I felt kind of weird today. It's like I didn't have to take o's, and yet all around me there are people who are cringing their faces and are heaving sighs. Well as a matter of fact I DID have to collect my chinese results. & I'm proud to say that I got the result I was looking for after retaking chinese! YAY.

My face is red. Stupid sun. Heh. Just now the sun was so hot it was like scorching EVERYTHING in its path. Even Coach Hassan shielded from the UV rays of the flaming sphere by the huge farmer hattish thingy on his head could barely resist jumping into the nearest reservoir for relief.

ASYKIN isn't happy with her results. That's sad :/ I mean there are so many people out there who are happy with their results who possibly didn't do as well as she did. But maybe that's because she has really high expectations (GREAT EXPECTATIONS! heh.) Oh well hope she's recovered from her "illness"(otherwise known as the ponning school syndrome).

Aye I'm too lazy to blog about the other interesting events of the day. Or any more thoughts of mine. Well after all I am getting tired.

Patrick, OUTTTT

2007-01-28T22:52:00.001+08:00

EXCUSE ME! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY TOTALLY DISREGARD THE LAST POST?!!

2007-01-28T20:17:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone! Please TOTALLY DISREGARD the last post. Haha. My resident blog designer JANELLE has gone absolutely WHACK. & has of course taken advantage of the delicate state of my blog (which was on the verge of being terminated) to glorify herself. YES we already know she's good. You wonder why she has to keep on telling us. Anyway, thanks Janelle & Sarina for "reviving" this blog. I promise to make this blog less dry & to post more often, or as much as my schedule (wow BIG word!...) allows me to.

I need to update my "links' section too! So if you want to be linked, please tag on my tagboard and give me your blog address! I'll be more than happy (which would make me happier than happy?) to link you!

Last but not least, this being the "Federer Express", dishing out the best, (get it? Federer express, dishing out the best? Hurhur) I'll like to say
WHO CAN STOP THE FEDERER EXPRESS?
& with that, I'm calling it a day.

2007-01-27T22:43:00.000+08:00

here's evidence that you should be doing my biology essay for me now!

HAHA pong's first loves: biology & janelle (: HAHA okay hope youre enjoying life in acsib! crash soon & bring sexy back!

2007-01-01T12:52:00.000+08:00

The start of a new year warrants a summary of the events of what has come to past, & so I have decided to post something on this blog.

But first of all, let me share my new year experience with you readers.
The ordinary was expected. Dinner with family friends at the Regent. Chinese food. A walk around town after the countdown. This new year however, was different.
Firstly, it is hard to ignore that as every child who has been attending the countless gatherings from way back matures, these special events (New Year's Day, Christmas...) lose their appeal to us. They become ordinary - just another gathering. I find this disheartening yet unavoidable.
Secondly, as we walked through town, from Regent all the way to Wisma Atria, I can say without a doubt that it was spooky. The streets were almost devoid of any kind of activity, besides the presence of police officers (in groups of three) posted approximately every 300 metres. I also managed to see police officers confronting people with snow sprays. What has new year come to? The spirit of new year in town has been destroyed, no thanks to the events of last new year, when cries of molestation sounded out in the papers. Oh what the hell. Anyway it seems as if the parties are over at vivo city and marina. Thank god for that, I hate muscling through crowds.
Thirdly, as much as we like to think that racial and religious harmony are wired into our brains, this is not the case at all. I encountered a group of "Bengs & Lians" who turned onto a single man from Bangladesh. They surrounded him and proceeded to spray him. They also chose this moment to call him "blackie", and to describe him with his foamed hair as "blackie with white hair with a black centre" (the black centre bit doesn't make sense to me). Lots of other people were talking about "Banglas" too. Is this acceptable behaviour? I don't think so.
Also, the widespread use of Singlish is starting to take its toll on me. Why can't people start speaking properly? The government obviously hasn't done its part. They have on one hand promoted the use of proper english through speak good english campaigns and on the other
encouraged the use of singlish through the media. PCK's "Don't pray pray", the stuff you hear on the radio stations, when is this nonsense going to stop? A Beng decided to flaunt his proficiency in Singlish by pronouncing "zero" as "CHEE-ROW". I shall stop talking anything else the "Beng" mentioned for the benefit of your IQs.
Finally, can someone please come up with something new to do during new year celebrations? Every year it's the same thing. It's either fireworks, balloon popping or god knows what like balloon sculpting? SOMEONE PLEASE COME UP WITH SOMETHING ELSE.

Enough about this. 2007 kicked off sadly. I'm hoping this doesn't set the tone for the year.

2006-12-26T20:23:00.000+08:00

91.3 rocks man. Seriously, I think it's cooler than Class 95, Power 98 or Perfect 10 987.
They used to play techno all day on 91.3 (& if you listen to too much techno, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to think straight or even play tennis properly). But now the variety of music they play on 91.3 is really ideal for people like me who listen to wide ranges of music.

2006-12-26T00:24:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! (:
"Roses are reddish, Violets are bluish. If it wasn't for christmas, we'd all be jewish!"

Anyway as you can see, this is my first post since god knows when. I have not (as i have earlier promised) changed my blogskin. I offer my sincerest apologies.

A special shout out goes to LEEYANYI, who has persuaded (more like demanded!) that I say "hello" to her on my very special blog! My dearest buddy persuaded me to kick-start this dead blog. & how to type anything in this post really came slowly to me as you can imagine, I am really out of touch with blogging.

YANYI'S LEAVING. Omg. I can't believe she's leaving! :\ gasps-
I thought she was going to stay in S'pore. & head either to rj or acsi ib.
But somehow, unfortunately, she said "I only want RJ but they don't need me!".
And that "when dr ong came he said that if you want to join ib you have to be really strong in languages".
I guess that settled it.
Oh well. I'll certainly miss her, & I'm sure all her friends will surely feel the same way!

LEEYANYI! I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU! haha.

2006-11-15T21:52:00.000+08:00

okay here's my first post. of the month. : / pathetic yea?

Well just now I was watching Blake play Davydenko LIVE for the very first time because for the past few days the brilliant ESPN has decided that EPL matches are more important that the SEASON-ENDING SHANGHAI MASTERS CUP. But then again, I got to watch it the following day, in the afternoon, & I didn't have to sleep late. So anyway back to Blake-Davydenko match, I'm not going to talk about the matchplay in particular, but instead I'm going to talk about something else which might seem totally irrelevant to you.
Okay here it is. Blake's American, & Davydenko's Russian (although he was actually born in Ukraine & was a Ukrainian till he was 18). Are there any sirens ringing in your head? No? Well then I'll help you along with two words. COLD WAR. If you still don't get it, uhh never mind.
So basically I couldn't imagine that Americans & Russians can challenge each other in elite sporting competitions without any political crap intefering, be it through propaganda or other means.
Simply put, WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO? A Russian Communist (Davydenko) playing an American Capitalist (Blake) on Chinese soil in front of Communist China Chinese spectators (Shanghai)? This is so not happening.
If Lenin or Mao Ze Dong were still alive today, they'd take a page out of Hitler's book & just kill themselves asap. But now that they're dead, the next best thing that they could do would be roll around in their graves. Frightening stuff huh.
Anyway I'll stop fantasizing about communists & capilitalists fighting for world domination.
Oh yes I won't forget to mention how FUN su's party was! haha.
THANKS SU YOU ROCK! :D
Su, your party was su ab-su-lutely su-perb (:

2006-10-31T23:34:00.000+08:00

well my birthday isn't till tomorrow, but i can't wait!
so here it is.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :)
(yea i know it's pretty lame wishing myself happy birthday, but heck it, it's MY birthday after all! freedom reigns! hahaha)
HELLO NC-16 MOVIES! GOODBYE sneaking into NC-16 movie screenings! haha
Well but on a more serious note, in an Asian society such as S'pore, being 16 ain't such a big deal.
The term "Sweet 16" is often used overseas (especially in America), where students enter the glam high schools & start paying their parents rent (they get the money via working during summer hols).
In S'pore, the legal age for smoking, driving, going to pubs is 18 (i think)!
so now i'll wait till the hand on the clock hits 12, and then i'm off to bed.
no plans for any outings yet (patrick has been too lazy over the past few months, weeks, days...)
but that doesn't mean i'm not going to celebrate sometime this week!
SUGGESTIONS ANYONE? haha. feel free to let me know, just like text me or something.

patrick to patrick: it's been 16 great years man, hopefully things will work out alright over the next couple of years. keep it real man! lol.

patrick OUT!

The closure of the exams brings about a close to another year of education. It signifies an end in many ways. However, it is also the beginning of many things - everything will come full circle, it just depends on when that happens. In this vicious cycle of life, a year (or less) will pass by before you get to the Final Year Exams again. The thing is, this time, it's harder to score. Everything is difficult, you have to make quantum leaps in terms of effort and conceptual understanding from each significant promotion. This transition can be seen in primary school kids as they move up from lower primary to upper primary, secondary school people as they move up from lower secondary to upper secondary, jc people as they move from upper secondary to tertiary education (this is the largest jump to me), and finally on to university.
My point is, although I am thrilled that the final year exams have ended (FINALLY), in many other ways, there isn't really too much to be happy about other than having more time on my hands - the benefits being getting to go out to watch more movies like... "Scoop" for example.

To mark my ... return from a long absence from the blogging sphere I will type out an article which I think is highly relevant to all.

THE PAP AND THE PEOPLE - A GREAT AFFECTIVE DIVIDE (1994) - Straits Times Article
By Catherine Lim

PART 1 (i'm too lazy to type it all out at one go. heh)

It is no secret that while the PAP Government has inspired in the people much respect for its efficiency and much gratitude for the good life as a result of this efficiency, there is very little in the way of affectionate regard. It is also no secret that the Government is not much bothered by this attitude. The familiarPAP stance is: better to be unpopular and do a good job than to be popular and lead the country into chaos and ruin. At a time of peak economic prosperity and social stability, an estrangement between the government and the people must appear odd. Whence arises this Great Affective Divide?

2006-09-22T14:00:00.000+08:00

Okay due to the final year examinations which are coming up in about a week's time, I won't be blogging that frequently (not like I actually blog a lot). I would once again like to take this opportunity to quash any juicy thoughts of what you think happened. I was NOT spotted with a girl at takashimaya. Coach Shawn and Weber were just teasing me for some on-court banter. This is not to say that I visited takashimaya over the course of those few days. I hardly go out at all usually. Honestly speaking.
Anyway, logically, if one was so inclined to go out with a girl alone without getting spotted (regardless of the purpose of the outing), would one really think going to TAKAshimaya would do the trick? No. It doesn't fit the bill at all, namely for a few very obvious reasons which I will state. Firstly, although it can be said that Takashimaya (or Ngee Ann City if you want to be accurate) isn't as popular a teenager hangout as say... Cineleisure, Heeren or Lido (Shaw Centre), it is still HIGHLY visited, VERY crowded, and who knows if someone decided to go for a little shopping at Taka. Secondly, even if you're not spotted by someone from your age group, imagine bumping into your parents, or your parents' friends, or your relatives. You don't even have to see them, once they see YOU... That's it. Astalavistababy. Busted.
THAT IS, unless... well it's completely legit, or it is taken with a level of maturity which not many people have achieved. So I don't know, I'll leave it for you to decide.

2006-09-03T23:57:00.000+08:00

Hello again. On the eve of the start of the term "break", I've once again decided to do something which I have recently been shying away from - posting on my blog. Instead of posting hilarious photos in this post, I'd imagine that you guys would want something else more... interesting per say. Something different. This is tentatively the beginning of a series on a specific topic which I will mention somewhere in the first part of the post, so read the coming posts (including this one) more closely or you might just happen to find yourself lost in a flurry of words which suddenly begin to not only be incoherent and illogical, but of a different meaning and put into a different context altogether.
The choice of topic of course will purely be in my hands, but I will try my best to make it as interesting as possible.

Okay. So today I will be writing (or more appropriately typing) about relationships. I don't mean THAT kind of a relationship. Not the BGR (Boy-Girl Relationship) of your imagination that's firing across your synapse at this very instant. I'm simply refering to relations between friends. Or more precisely, relations between members of the opposite sex (guys and gals if you're a doofus and still don't get me). What I'm trying to say is that guys and gals can still be friends without necessarily having to participate in a BGR. Or at least that's what's supposed to happen in theory. I believe that too often, guys and gals who are in the teenage phase of their lives fail to acknowledge this enough. You might think that this is all too obvious, but ask yourself, how many members of the opposite sex do you count as your friends and who you do not take even the slightest interest in? If you don't have this problem maybe you're just mature. Which is good. But I doubt that this occurs frequently among teens.

Even if a long standing guy-gal friendship has been established, it is either hardly ever acknowledged/mentioned, or mocked at. Rumours. That's the root of the problem. Teens having too much time on their hands, probing around for the juiciest bit of information in the market out there about friends, the who's who of schools, or even total strangers. One sighting of a guy with a girl, even if they are church friends or something, rumours will fly around. Any statement of them being friends is pushed away, swept under the carpet while everyone makes sure that the juiciest bits of the story remains intact for everyone to get a taste of. If that's the case, we should just quit school, and start our own publication the challenge The New Paper. We're definitely better at glamourizing stuff than they are.

This is not to say that any of this actually happened to me. Let me stress that this is not some angry, violent repurcussion of me being sighted with a friend who's a girl or anything along those lines. This is me relflecting upon the large volume of gossip and rumours that has been and will continue to be a large part of my student life. I feel for all those poor souls who because of all the mocking and teasing, have decided that friendship wasn't worth it. I feel aggrieved for these people. I feel that this should all be put to an end sooner or later, for the benefit of everyone who has been in the (currently unfortunate) circumstance of being close friends with a member of the opposite sex.

You know who you are. . . Go figure. Heh.

2006-09-01T15:42:00.000+08:00

I'll now take the opportunity to post some pictures that aren't on my laptop now that I'm using the desktop. Hope they'll either make you fall off your chair in laughter or make your day! (But if they don't, well... it's not my fault that you are devoid of a sense of humour!) Here it goes.

All of us knew that school was a dangerous place. Now those
suspicions
have been confirmed.

Ouch. Maybe he should have listened to his coach when he said
"KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BALL"

"sir" alex ferguson showing the mascot some love. how often do we get to see that?! he must be desperate to please the glazers...
MORE TO COME

2006-08-31T21:46:00.000+08:00

and finally a post.
by the postman.
pat.

Okay since today's teachers' day, I've decided to POST. How nice is that?
So today I won't be putting any pictures on, but don't worry, I will put plenty on the NEXT post.

So what's the news? What's current? Well... Arsenal has had a torrid start to the season. And that's making me depressed. Amazing how the dismal performances and the agonising inability for your favourite team's players to thump the ball into the back of the net can destroy a fan's day. Moreover, their tendency to overplay and overpass the ball to the point where you think that they want to walk the ball into the net or like stop the ball right on the goal line, bend down and head the ball in - that's really nail-biting to watch, to the point where I'm not sure whether I have nails anymore (JUST KIDDING!).

Now on to IMVU. I can describe it in two words! Isn't that amazing? Ready for it? ...
It's weird.
For my avatar, I chose a "tanned" complexion, and guess what? I ended up looking like an Indian. And the setting is "Buckstars". How original.

Okay I guess that sums up my dull & boring life. Will post about more interesting stuff next time.

TTFN

2006-08-12T23:36:00.000+08:00

hey hey hey! i'm back!

Well anyway that's felix smiling (maybe it's more of a grin) away, showing the world how in it is to have pinkish purplish teeth.

Nice work Julian! How you managed to take the picture, I will never know man.

And now moving on to other things, ever wondered if the school is going to stop talking about Haven? Everywhere you go, everyday, you see the Haven craze going on. It's like a disease. Worse than that. For once, everyone at school, they're like "Hey everyone who participated in Haven stand up, and now everyone give them a big CLAP" or like "Hey since you missed so much class we're making all the teachers stay back and give you REPLACEMENT lessons". Why can't they do that for sportsmen huh. Like we tennis players, we miss class, and guess what? We don't get that kind of REPLACEMENT LESSONS, neither do they give us the praise/acknowledgement for the countless hours we've put in.

GOSH.

Well anyway that's enough for today, I have better things to do. I have to CATCH UP without the help of any REPLACEMENT LESSONS. Ouch.

2006-08-02T20:15:00.000+08:00

Ahhhhh. Isn't physics just wonderful? (NOT) It depends on MIRACLES.

This just about sums things up.

I know I haven't been blogging, but I've really been short on time. Anyway, I'm just going to upload some photos I took with my phone camera. Hope these summarise the events of the past few days sufficiently. Haha.

My friend's water bottle...
"Make living a more fascinating than a day." Wow. How about "I think you need English lessons ASAP"...

We ALWAYS see that at farrer park.

Sweet yellow kiwis. Amazing huh. Thank genetic engineering. haha.

This wedding car looks more like a monster which needs a shave desperately!

The priceless view I had when I went to watch "Dead Man's Chest". People pay through the nose for front row seats you know. Right. Not in the cinemas.

Julian lost in translation. Isn't he happy. HAHA.

2006-07-15T21:51:00.000+08:00

I hate to say this, but I have to admit. MY BLOG IS DEAD. The only person visiting it is ME. How nice is that huh... Well anyway for the benefit of anyone who might still be visiting this site, I will upload some pictures (eye-candy) to try to REVIVE this blog.

Youth Day Celebrations (Soccer @ the new campus pitch of artificial grass)

Those are the Year 5 hotshots sitting together at the bottom of the picture...

Old Campus.

New Campus. Isn't it nice and NEW. and BIG.

Lecture Theatre (LT) @ the New Campus.

Ditto.

The ceiling of my classroom. Cool huh.

I mean look at all the cool stuff you're missing out on! Heh. (These pictures are meant to get more people to join my school's IB programme.)

So what are you waiting for? GO JOIN THE IB PROGRAMME TODAY. Hahaha.

Just as one embassador of sport established himself among the legends, another, already a legend, bowed out of the game on a sour note. Yes I'm refering to Roger Federer & Zinedine Zidane respectively.
Roger Federer beat Nadal in 4 sets to show him who's boss on grass, preventing Nadal's head from growing any bigger than it already is, winning his fourth consecutive Wimbledon title - one more Wimby title next year and he'll be in a league of his own. However, Zinedine Zidane, the ex-Cannes, ex-Juve, ex-Real player and ex-France national left the pitch in the 2nd period of extra time for an early shower, and an early end to his career - a few minutes premature in fact. The sight of him headbutting Materazzi like a raging bull who just caught sight of a red cape, that I will never forget. But what I will forget is that the French reached the finals of this World Cup. 20 years down the road when this blog will probably be dead, I'll remember an Italian triumph in the world cup in 2006. I'll probably forget the venue as well. But my point is, the losers are never remembered, only the victors have their names engraved on the trophy and with a piece of history that cannot be robbed from them. So what if the French reached the finals? They didn't win it. They got so far to lose it all, and in the end it doesn't even matter. Sounds familiar eh? That's because I just lifted that out of Linkin Park's "In the End".
Before I end this short post devoid of photos or gossip, I would like to say a few things.
1. Materazzi should have been man of the match because he scored the equalizer, a penalty and managed to ruffle Zidane (not an easy thing to do mind you).
2. Italy deserved to win the world cup.
3. Fabio Cannavaro should have been voted as the player of the tournament.
4. Lippi undoubtedly was the best manager of the tournament.
5. Graham Poll was officially the worst ref EVER. (3 yellow cards...)
6.Federer deserved to beat Nadal and should beat him everytime. I mean what would that tell kids if Nadal kept on winning? Federer's positive tennis would give a positive influence on kids.

Thanks.

2006-07-09T15:03:00.000+08:00

This blog isn't dead yet - I hope.
Well anyway in a nutshell, my days at school have been very ordinary. With the exception of a week WASTED because of a certain "IB Symposium" which was very poorly organized and executed, I've been making pretty good use of my time.
Although one week of my life has been wasted by the pathetic "Symposium" (if you can even call it that), I'm looking forward to tonight's Wimbledon Men's Singles Final with Nadal & Federer (who's so going to own Nadal just because it's on GRASS), and the World Cup finals in the early hours of the morning. In fact, my school has ENCOURAGED us to stay up and watch the Italy vs. France final not because Dr.ong is an avid fan of soccer, but because... everyone is doing so. Even the school's "polar opposite" shifted their youth day holiday to tomorrow in conjuction with the World Cup final so that their students could have a day's rest to avoid "World Cup Hangover" from affecting their performance at school (very important to them).
So we have school from 1 to 6pm on monday instead of 8am to 2.40pm. They should have given us a HOLIDAY for goodness sake. Monday is a SLACK day for all classes, so why not give us a chance to recharge the batteries? NO. They'd rather make us attend school, still half-dazed just to waste the time away.

Anyway here are some photos of interest:

"Self-hug" by Bjorkman. Well he certainly needed one after getting thrashed by Federer in 77mins, so why not a hug from himself?

Check out the "Rooftop Tennis" video featuring Ivanovic & Hantuchova! I can't download it though, sadly.

Federer with Totti. Well they'll both be in action later in the day (Federer -> Wimbledon, Totti -> World Cup Finals). Let's hope BOTH of them win.

STAMP duty. ouch.

He ain't back. He's WACK. (:

2006-06-26T23:58:00.000+08:00

Okay a this is a quick post.

First day of school isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Played my 3rd round match of advanced tournament today. My opponent was a Japanese coach who happens to be the number 3 seed as well. Played well. But still lost.

Anyway check out this song. It'll make you laugh. Unless you're a... turd. That's it (:

As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. & i'm lazy. So that means that i'll be putting up pictures and not much text at all. Because 1. I'm lazy 2. My fingers are killing me 3. Pictures are just so much more presentable and easier on the eyes don't you think?

Saturday (June 17, 2006) in pictures

Spiderman's butt is too big to fit in the picture!

Who knew that fries grew from Kelvin's head?!

Heard of the movie called 'The Four Brothers"? Well they've met their match. Here are "The TWO Brothers" who're killing zombies in the house of the dead like flies. Astalavistababy!

P.I.M.P. my ride (:

2006-06-15T23:58:00.000+08:00

Hey guys. I know I haven't blogged since the 12th. Sorry about that. Well anyway here's a summary of what happened over the length of my absence.

Tuesday June 11 2006
The day before the physical test which was to include 5 stations, namely
1.Spider run (5 ball drill)
2.Push-ups (max. in 60 secs)
3.Sit-ups (max. in 60 secs)
4.Beep test
5.2.4km run
& just to let you know, all the "A" standards were way above average. In other words, this physical test makes the NAPFA test look like nothing - piece of cake man.
The highest number of points attainable from each station was 5. With 5 points for "A", 4 points for "B", 3 points for "C" & so on and so forth.
So I basically spent the whole day worrying & skipped my daily dose of World Cup action & retired to bed early. How disciplined. (:

Wednesday June 12 2006
Guess what. My score for the physical test was ... was ... 15/25! HAHA. 60% in other words. Which is 10% short of the passing grade (70%). That was horrible. Well anyway after the physical test a bunch of us (Warren, Kelvin, Julian, Feng, Justin, Christopher, Marcus & myself) headed to KFC to restock on burnt calories and fats. Is there any better way of doing that then munching down some "Finger lickin' good" FATTY OESTROGEN-INJECTED chicken? Christopher, Marcus, Justin & I then rushed to Lido to catch Cars ( the only nice show available on the day). Our "experience" there was pretty interesting, and not to mention adrenaline-pumping. Heh.
We hung around munching on popcorn waiting for the 8.45pm show only to realise that the lady at the box-office gave us the wrong tickets. So we got our tickets after rushing like crazy. And managed to make it in time for the show.
No one was spared from the casualties from the pre-show mad rush. No one!
In Justin's case :

He managed to bump into this corner.

In Marcus' case:
He managed to get into a craze of offering random people popcorn. From the security guards to the guy collecting our tickets. Maybe he was too embbarrassed by the security guard asking him why there was so much popcorn on the floor (because he was throwing them at Justin, Christopher & myself while shouting gleefully "I PUNISH YOU! AHAHAHA!").
In Christopher's case:
He got pelted by popcorn by Marcus.
In my case:
DITTO.
Anyway some of my friends told me that "Cars" was really lousy and a total waste of money. But it's not like I had a choice. The movie wasn't THAT bad in fact. At least it was better than "Over the Hedge" because it actually had a PLOT. Although some parts were really too lame. I mean come on man give me a break, how can you name someone "The King". Throughout the whole movie everyone was addressing that character as "Mister The King" and his wife as "Missus The King". Omg.
Random Picture of the Day:
I thought that it was only fair that I put a picture of myself here since everyone was complaining about why their pictures were on my blog. Well here it is.

Me dodging the camera & showing Dominic the camera
case.
Oh yes, and there's nothing worth blogging about for today. Adios.

2006-06-12T01:27:00.000+08:00

Federer fans around the world might be screaming this loudly right about... now. "HOW DID FEDERER MANAGE TO LOSE!" Well my fellow Federer fans, we're all in the same boat. We feel hugely disappointed, demoralised, and at a loss as to how the Swiss maestro, master tactician and craftsman of the most exquisite shots managed to let the only Slam he has yet to conquer slip out of his grasp. As I sit here, reflecting on the match gone by, I can only slap my head in disbelief...Here are some of the reasons why I think our Roger lost today.In several departments, Federer was simply outplayed from the 2nd set onwards. For example, his backhand was horrendous. Why so? This is simply down to his use of a single-handed backhand. This allows greater flexibility and variety of shot - a whippier stroke which mimics the forehand. However, dealing with high balls poses a large problem. And with Nadal's ferociously kicking forehands, Federer was forced to hit most of his backhands about one to two feet above his shoulder. Which is really quite amazing if you think about how tall Federer is. Add in Federer's valiant attempts to topspin and get over the top of these high kickers, and there you have it - a hopeless backhand.Of course being the unbiased, gracious-in-defeat blogger that I am, I will give Nadal credit for making life difficult for Federer. Although Nadal was owned in the first set, he came out in the second with all guns blazing, and was back to his best, running down every ball doggedly, attacking Federer's Fragile backhand while mixing it up by making those rare forays into the net. He is undoubtedly the master of clay, winning his 60th STRAIGHT clay court match and 2nd consecutive Roland Garros title. His stunning rise in the tennis world should be greeted with nods of approval as he challenges Federer for top honours, injecting much needed enthusiasm into the tennis circuit, preventing it from being merely a dull one-horse-race.Going back to the match, I can't seem to get this nagging thought out of my head. It really seemed pretty insignificant, but now looking back at it, it seems like it was the turning point of this match. At 40-0 up, serving at 0-1 in the 2nd set, Nadal hit a forehand which landed precariously near the baseline and was called out by the linesman. The umpire didn't over-rule, and Nadal didn't question. In fact to me he was walking away having conceded the point. However up comes Federer who stares at the mark, and asks the umpire to check the mark in an effort to over-rule the line call which was in his favour. The umpire inspects it, calls it good and the point is replayed. Loud, resounding claps of approval can be heard throughout centre court. Sportmanship has prevailed. But Federer goes on to lose this game. And the set, 6-1. When it comes to huge, career-defining matches such as this, when and to what extent should sportmanship be applied? Maybe this nagging thought was on his mind and bothered him enough that he lost the last 3 sets. "I should have walked away... I should have walked away...". I'm sure Nadal wouldn't have done any act of sportmanship. In fact, he was flounting with the rules, taking an extravagantly long time between points. Going through a routine which included scratching his butt. Wow. I'm sure that helps to ensure a precision serve. And so Nadal gobbled up the freebie point that Federer gave him, and continued to munch on free points, and on his act of sportmanship.At the end of the day, the player who displayed sportmanship lost... And the victor was the mean machine. Intruiging. Lets see who gets knocked out of Wimbledon first. HAH.

www.blogger.com isn't working properly so i'll add photos and dress this article up another day. cheers.

Another quick update on the England vs. Paraguay match. The match can basically be summed up in one word. HOPELESS. A third minute own goal was all that separated the two sides, and Paraguay were unlucky to leave the stadium without a point as luck was with the English on this day. No robo-Crouch in sight as he put in a pathetic performance although to be fair to him he had to play most of the match as a lone striker which really doesn't suit him at all.

Summary of match:

Largest teevee in Europe casting a shadow on the pitch. Nice
shade.

The loud mouth Paraguay captain score an own goal in the 3rd minute.

-Well thanks for doing Peter Crouch's job, and also, this should teach you to SHUT UP and PLAY SOCCER DUDE. loser.

Beckham shouts "I NEED MORE PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS! EVEN PETER
CROUCH RUNS FASTER THAN ME!"

Uhm... SuperFan Returns?

Pretty tired today so won't do much in this post. Played too much tennis today. & somehow the club managed to lose by 1 game on countback even though ivan and I won our match. Simply Demoralising.

Anyway I did some quiz that ivan sent to me. And it turns out that the surveyor thinks I'm a "Brainiac". Whatever that's supposed to mean. I could set up a quiz and tell you that you're a unicorn. And what would you do. You'd tell everyone that you're a unicorn. Okay this isn't making any sense. I'm tired and so I'm going to post a picture of the "Brianiac" and then I'm going to sit in front of the telly and watch teevee till I fall asleep. Adios amigos.

GERMANY VS. COSTA RICA
Quick update on the opening match.
-It was boring.
-Although there were 3 goals scored within the first 16 mins.
-Record number of goals scored in an opening match of World Cup.
-Man of the Match: LAHM
-Goal of the Match: Frings' goal from outside of the box
VERDICT: Germany looked lacklustre in defence, they'll have to play much better than this to reah semifinals or even finals of World Cup. But then again the same thing happened in 2002. They played like crap in the group stages with a crappy team but still managed to reach the finals.

Summary of Match:

Lahm opens the scoring

But Wanchope had other ideas.

Then came along a certain Miroslav Klose to spoil the party by slamming
two in the net.

Funny picture of the day:

2006-06-09T20:59:00.000+08:00

World Cup's starting tonight, Germany versus Costa Rica. There haven't been too many goals in opening matches of the previous World Cups, so sticking with it being a draw should be the safe option, but who knows? With Germany having loads of world class players and Costa Rica having Wanchope who used to play for West Ham and Manchester City as their main star, Germany looks odds on to win. That's what I think. Also, there's been plenty of debate on who's going to win and so and so forth, well, whatever your opinion is, remember that you should respect other people's opinions as well. Win, lose or draw, it's your call.

Oh yes and before I forget to upload this photo, let me do it now.

Desmond jumping for joy after beating Mamy. heh.

Vaidisova yet again (:

Finally the guys at The Straits Times are being more level-headed and are now sticking to tipping which teams "will make an impact" at the World Cup. This is a huge improvement from the "predictions" (if you can them that) offered earlier, needless to say. Cheers to Rob Hughes who acknowldeges that he is as hopeless as anyone else when it comes to predictions, stating that when he attempted to name the finalists, he chose France and Argentina. And we all know how both of these teams, going in as hot favourites due to their form before the tournament in the case of Argentina, and the fact that they were defending champs in the case of France performed at the 2002 World Cup. They were knocked out in the first round by minnows. Well not so for Argentina who were in the group of death as they are in this tournament, but France had one of the easiest groups (except for England who ALWAYS gets the easiest group... BLOODY BRITS). France losing to Senegal in the opening match. Who would have imagined that? As they say, the ball is round, anything can happen, especially over 90 minutes, injury time, and stoppage time. Referees, linesman, blah, blah, blah. You get the picture. Oh yes and anyway if you haven't signed up for the World Cup package GO GET IT! (Unless of course you don't mind watching it on Channel 5.)

The post.
Ryan Keong's back, and he means business man. His tennis has improved quite a bit from last time. His groundstrokes are more consistent, and to top it off he's fitter and faster. Wow. Anyway Vaidisova LOST after having the match in her hands! Omg. That's horrible. :(

Vaidisova during happier times...

I've decided to make this post more "photo-posting" and less "blabberish". So here are some photos summarizing events of the past week.
DISCLAIMER: Please note that some photos weren't taken by myself so I will not be taking full responsibility for photos in question. (:

Highlights of last week

The Boss at work

Feng "in tears" after someone won in the finals (:

Just kidding (:

Julian's reaction to light

hmm go figure (:

Okay there it is, some exciting photos from last week's tournament. Don't worry I'll post more soon!

2006-06-06T14:21:00.000+08:00

TWO POSTS IN A ROW. WOW. That's a first.

Well anyway in case you haven't noticed, today is the 6th of June, which makes the date 6.6.06. Yikes. So much for today being the opening of the movie "Omen", which I heard is the remake of a film of the same title which was released in 1960 - on the 6.6.60. Deja vu?
Other than today's date being likened to the devil's number - 666 in case you are one of the unenlightened few, there isn't anything significant happening today. Except that it's raining cats & dogs. When only two days ago the smell of roasted skin was in the air at kallang. The weather never fails to surprise.With the onset of global warming & the other crap that's happening to the Earth, Mother Nature seems to be getting pissed at us for once and for all. Her temper seems to be getting worse. The tsunami, the eruption of Mount Merapi in Indonesia... What's next? The apocalypse? It seems like we're going to have to face with living in constant fear with the rest of our lives.
I mean who are we trying to kid? Kidding ourselves ain't gonna make the world a better place.
Now for happier thoughts not regarding the emminent self-destruction of mankind or the release of the scary movie "Omen".
I've decided that over the next few posts i'm going to do the following things
1.) address the issue of equality between males and females and how this should be applied in all areas, especially when it comes to criminal sentences
2.) post some pictures of Sunday's happenings and maybe a video of Marcus dancing like an idiot (haha, CAROLYN send me the video asap)

P.P.P.

NARRATIVE ENTRY

Today I shall shy away from the heat of intellectual discussions and post an entry a real blogger posts. I mean after all, what type of blogger doesn't post anything about his/her day-to-day happenings? Well all I can say is that I am one who Refrains from doing so. Okay so here it goes.

4th of May, 2006 (Sunday)
The Day of The Finals (PART 1)
Tessa reached the finals of the Under 16 in her first attempt! Wow. She didn't play as well as she did in the semi-finals, but managed to put in a competent performance to push Christine (the number one seed) 6-2, 6-4. All credit to Christine for making life difficult for Tessa during the match, putting her on the back foot for the majority of the match. On paper it might seem as a loss. But to me, it was a win. A win for her. A deserved victory mind you. And a heavy lost for that stubborn wall made of "the lack of self-confidence". I'm extremely proud of her. And once again congratulations to Christine for the win!
Oh yes and before I forget congratulations to everyone for a good Spex tournament! All of you guys did so well.
I will now take the chance to document the Mamee match. The weather was really hot as usual and the absence of cloud cover made it all worse. But that didn't seem to sap Desmond of any energy as he managed to hold on to edge out Mamee (or is it Mamy?) in 3 sets, running down every ball and making his opponent go for bigger shots in an attempt to finish off the points as quickly as possible. But all credit to the dude from Madagascar for reaching the finals without dropping a set! The finals seemed too big an occasion for him though as he put on an uncharacteristic display of nerves.
The prize presentation was boring as usual, I managed to take some good photos but once again failed to win anything from the lucky draw, unlike lucky Jonas. It's amazing Marcus didn't win anything! He put in like... FIVE entries. Haha. Or Brian, who twisted the slip to make it stand out.

The Outing (PART 2)
Rushed to the Tanglin Club for a treat the generous club captain was giving the sicc club players for representing the club in the Men's "C" and "D" divisions. Had a delectable meal, after which Tessa, Greg, and myself politely excused ourselves from the meal and, together with Laura and Carolyn took a cab to Cineleisure to catch a movie. (What lazy bums we are!) Once we arrived at our destination,we met the rest at burger king and spent close to half an hour trying to decide what movie to watch. With so many people, it was a challenging task. Chee Jun, Hakim, Stefanie, Jonas, Marcus, Carolyn, Greg, Laura, Bradley, David, Benjamin, Kenneth, Justin, Brian, Tessa, and myself - all wanting their opinions to be heard. After much discussion we split ourselves into two groups in order to serve our own needs. My group went to catch Over the Hedge while the other preferred X Men 3. We managed to ONLY miss 5 minutes of the show, and thankfully, it didn't mean much due to the fact that the movie had NO PLOT (or maybe it had one, but a very lame one I must say). Well for anyone thinking of catching the movie, watch it if you're severely depressed, and it will bound to make you happy again. If you've watched it you'll get what I mean. The CHEESE EXPLOSION? The MATRIX spoof? omg.
After a mind-blowing 1 and a half hours, we (laura,carolyn,justin,marcus,benji,dave,jonas,tessa,myself) headed to the arcades to game our lives away. I have to admit Marcus, our air hockey partnership is rather formidable man! And the sight of you trying out the dance dance revolution machine, was laughable. I'm going to post the video here soon man. (:
Went to Justin's house without Justin (?). Hung around. Had a palatable dinner with hash browns, pasta, fried rice, nuggets, sausages. Proceeded to watch "The Descent" which was quite freaky. GREG was screaming, girls were screaming. Stefanie missed all the scary parts and was smiling throughout most of the show. And that's about it.
This entry is long man. darnit.

oh yea one last thing DAVID we know what's happening. HEH.

2006-06-02T11:31:00.000+08:00

Has anyone managed to catch the Straits Time's World Cup predictions in the sports section? Well if you haven't done so, you can count yourself lucky. And for those of us who happen to be more unfortunate and have not been spared of the comedy of the sports correspondents, I share your pain, having come vis-a-vis with the horrendous "NEWS" (if that's what they call it) every morning. It's simply appalling - to put it nicely. There are a million other adjectives which come to mind that can be appropriately used.
To spare the unenlightened few from any further confusion, let me proceed by listing a few of very many falsehoods in the papers these days, by just mentioning those of most trivial of matters - the world cup. (Fifa (c) World (c) Cup (c) I mean).
Argentina as World Cup champions? The guy must have bet his ass on Argentina winning the World Cup! Some might argue that they have the calibre to win the World Cup. That I cannot disagree with. With world-class players such as Gabriel Heinze (the energetic left-back of Manchester United who when out injured, seemed to bring United's game to a standstill), Sorin & Riquelme (who led tiny Villareal to the Champions League semis), Hernan Crespo (of Chelsea fame), few would dare to count Argentina out of World Cup contention. However, World Cup CHAMPIONS? They've only won the Cup twice for goodness sake. And that was way back in 1978 & 1986! Madness. "STUNTS WILL UNDO SAMBA BOYS". What utter rubbish. And yet that appears, on H33 of today's newspaper. If you actually saw the Confederations Cup held last year in Germany, Brasil THRASHED Argentina 4-1, and that's when Argentina played with a FULL-STRENGTH team and when Brasil took the foot off the pedal in the 2nd half. The correspondent also had the cheek to lambast the Dutch. Yes, they had a battle of the egos in previous editions of international competitions. However, with a new look side, void of any ageing superstars with the exception of goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar and Philip Cocu, they are WIDELY TOUTED BY EVERYONE (except that correspondent of Einstein intelligence) to progress at least to the quarterfinals. Well I only have this to say. BUGGER OFF MAN. If you want to bother someone with your crappy predictions, go bother someone else. You reckon that England will make it to the semis yea? Well that's typical of a moronic EPL viewer with no BRAINS. You've subconciously been manipulated you twit. England sucks. It's obvious. They are definitely the most over-rated side in history. Spain and Portugal as quarterfinalists? You've got to be kidding me. If you've said that the Dutch are pernennial under-acheivers having always boasted the best talent and having never won the Cup, Spain and Portugal definitely fall in the same catergory bozo. Spain has never won the World Cup and even lost to puny South Korea at the last World Cup on penalties, their best place being a 4th place finish at the 1950 World Cup, while Portugal has never won the Cup as well, their best performance being a 3rd place finish at the 1966 World Cup.
What a joke.
Anyway I hope I have enlightened you guys enough and proved my point.
I have decided that this blog will not be an online diary of sorts where I drone on about the day-to-day happenings of my life like what everyone else does. Instead this will be an intellectual platform for discussion of topics I feel require attention, with some personal entries of course, without which it would cease to function.
PATRICK'S PERT PROVISION

2005-12-20T23:21:00.000+08:00

something to kill boredom (: enjoy

Jose and his amazing Technicolor overcoat
I closed my eyes,
And stand a grinning, (cheers)
We can’t stop winning, (cheers)
You’d be grinning too.
And when I first came, (echo)-“when he first came”
I was the delighted, (cheers)
Could have managed United, (cheers)
But any team will do.
I wore my coat. (echo)-“he wears his coat”
The world is merry, (cheers)
I’ve got John Terry (cheers)
And Drogba too. (player shouts “come on Didier!” Mourinho says “very good”)
I switched them round, (echo)-“he switched his rounds”
They all are hating, (cheers)
But I like rotating, (cheers)
Any team will do. (player shouts “go on gaffer!”)
A corner kick,
Is just enough.
A little flick,
From Damien duff. (player shouts “come on Damien!” another shouts “gaffer!”)
The ball flies right into the net,
And we are one nil up. (shouts “one nil!”x4)
May I return, (echo)-“may I return”
To the beginning, (cheers)
So easy winning, (cheers)
When your team is blue. ( player shouts “blue is the colour!” Mourinho says “come on”)
We can’t go wrong, (echo)-“we can’t go wrong”
I am in heaven, (cheers)
Playing whatever eleven, (cheers)
Any team will do. (shouts!)

note: cheers - “whoa-oh-whoa”

PS if you want the song just let me know i'll send it to you (:

2005-12-14T23:59:00.000+08:00

Pride & prejudice was real witty :)
and witty movies are really the epitome of cinematic pleasure :)
School's coming pretty soon, so guys, watch out! haha! Don't forget! otherwise you'd be tramautised to find out that you don't have a chance to do something you were planning to do during the holidays!
I wonder why everyone travels so much during the holidays and I don't get to! hahaha! That's really unfair! Watching King Kong tomorrow, graphics seem pretty good, although the plot is questionable. But it's a Peter Jackson film! So what can possibly go wrong? hahaha!

2005-12-12T10:23:00.000+08:00

there's something about you
:)
but that was temporary...

2005-12-06T21:00:00.000+08:00

I haven't published a proper post in ages, so here it is.
I have chosen to do a "preliminary hightlights of year 2005", the actual highlights of the year to be posted on new year itself!
So here it goes:
In terms of tennis, I've reached the semis 3 times this year for under16s, losing to Akira in all of the latter, and have also reached the semis for under16s once, and winning it eventually during the previous tournament.

In terms of life (i.e. school life etc) , well ups and downs are evident, and I've had my ups and downs this year, wouldn't want to fill you in on boring topics you wouldn't want to read!

In terms of friends, well it doesn't hurt to have more friends right? X) Especially when I don't have that many

This sums up my year in the briefest manner which I can imagine, in which it's honesty and factual content remains intact.

Oh yes, before I forget, I want to congratulate everyone for doing superbly at the spex tournament! I'll see you people around!

2005-10-14T12:30:00.000+08:00

GOAL!
From park ball in Los Angeles to St James Park ,
the transitition of Santiago from a boy to a man,
here it is,
undoubtedly one of THE best movies of the year so far.
undoubtedly.
The Review:
When Santiago Munez crossed the Mexican border into America at the age of 10, he had two things in his possession: his soccer ball and a tattered picture of the World Cup. Working menial jobs while growing up in Los Angeles, Santiago's passion was playing soccer. Convincing his father that he could be an international football star was another story. But when Brit Glen Foy, an amiable former football player and sometime scout spots Santiago at a local match, he recognizes a deft, fast and brave footballer-the kind of talent that the English Premiere League Club, Newcastle United, is hungry for. Now thrust into a foreign land where football is a religion and Newcastle's St. James Park its cathedral, this young Latin American must prove that he's got the grit and the game to win a contract with one of the most beloved football clubs in the world. Muddy fields, cold winds and crunching blows from teammates-not to mention personal woes, injuries, and the temptations of life as an international footballer-are just a few of the obstacles Santiago must overcome to reach his ultimate "Goal."
Rating: Jumping Volley (A Thierry Henry strike), simple
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C.

family loyalty, friendship and how to chat up nurses. all in one.

2005-06-23T16:13:00.000+08:00

The Special Two by Missy Higgins... gr8 song which is so real...

2005-06-01T23:41:00.000+08:00

I've hardly been outside this room in days,
'cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
The darkness helps until the whiskey wears away,
And it's then I realize the conscience never fades.
When you're young you have this image of your life:
That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross,
And if you happen to you wake completely lost.
But I will fight for you, be sure that
I will fight until we're the special two once again.

When we could only need each other, we'd breathe together,
Our hands would not be taught to hold another's,
When we were the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'd breathe together,
These arms will not be taught to need another,
'cause we were the special two.

I remember someone old once said to me:
"lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
And couldn't see this place would soon become my hell.
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
But if by chance you change your mind you know I will not
Let you down 'cause we were the special two, and will be again.

And we will only need each other, we'll breathe together,
Our hands will not be taught to need another's,
When we're the special two.
And we could only see each other we'll breathe together,
These arms will not be taught to need another...

I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute.
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease,
Or something that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt you bring onto yourself,
Just remembering, just remembering who we were...

nice song

movie review for "Racing Stripes"

2005-05-18T12:20:00.000+08:00

hey guys this is a movie review on racing stripes which i completed partially a month ago, so i've just put the finshing touches on it and ... tralala here it is!!! =p

this was the movie i unfortunately had to watch... instead of constantine cos there weren't any tickets left... and "Aviator, The" or "AviatorcommaspaceThe" was too long... and... believe it or not... i still haven't watched Constantine yet... *sniff*... and EVERYONE and i mean everyone has watched it alredi...so there's nobody left to watch it with...

Racing Stripes
This is a simplistic story with a plot that is as predictable as last year's formula one racing and with a script that i could have written in my sleep...!!! you could have told from the funny posters (where the zebra looked quite retarded) and the rating (GA: General Audience)... the use of "big" names to try to cosmetically touch up it's appearance...
Example number 1: this is the lamest example... SNOOP DOG
-he is a sleepy dog in the movie who gives like in two occasions says one word and has one scene where he actually is given a sentence to recite! WOW! other than that he is basically non-existent in the movie and his character, a sleepy doofus-looking dog is more of a prop than an extra... haha

Example number 2: the big names in this movie don't even live up to the "hype" if there was any in the 1st place, they're just there on the poster. but other than that the audience can't reli fathom any link between the names and the characters. hmm... That's maybe because big names don't mean big voices? ok.

-back to the review
This is a movie about a zebra who gets raised as a horse on this farm. Grows up thinking he is a horse. Get's inspired by the race horses he sees next door. Dreams of becoming a race horse. But becomes as depressed as an ex-boyfriend when he later finds out his true genera.
some main plots/themes in this movie:-
-guy meets gal
-passion for racing
-"what's in the past is in the past, get over it" (my fav)
-"when there's a will there's a way"
-even a zebra can beat a race horse in racing
=hence the new word race zebra =p
-good triumphs over evil
blah blah blah
and ohh yea the funniest character is that mafia seagull who uses lines from the godfather movies.
this is a movie for the families and the lil kids. so not being a lil kid, i'll give it 2 out of 5 bites.

What is the purpose of a blog?

2005-05-08T05:45:00.000+08:00

i had my language arts paper on friday and um... let's put it this way... i didn't do it as well as i could have... and i think i did quite ok for it
don't wanna talk about the exams anymore!...
even though i have like ... 7 more papers? :

back to what is the purpose of a blog
is the blog supposed to be a medium for you to express your feelings?
are you supposed to blog how your day went?
are you supposed to blog what you feel?
are you supposed to blog anything special?
or are you just supposed to type crap?
ok this isn't what was initially intended by me but since my brain has fizzed out i'm just typing out what's on my mind

ok then so i guess that a blog is just something which you have and that nobody reads.

Critically Thinking for once

2005-04-30T15:04:00.000+08:00

Morning is about to arrive,
What am i to do?

other areas which i do not want to delve into.
Not because it's private,it's because no one wants to listen.
I'm stuck in this empty room rite now
thinking about my exams and how i havent started studying yet. OH WOW

movie review for "Bring it on, The".

2005-03-20T17:39:00.000+08:00

BRING IT ON!

this movie which was probably released in the year 2000 is a comedy about this cheerleader called Torrence(i think that's what her name is) who is a hard core cheerleader who takes over the reins of the cheerleading team and succeeds some crazy person as captain. This character is rather lame throughout the movie. However she is made to be different from the rest as she is given the quality of honesty, sportmanship, and so on unlike the other bimbotic cheerleaders and cheographers. This movie is one to be watched... Bring the whole family to watch it... although you'll probably end up wasting all of your money... haha... This movie is basically having a poke at cheerleaders. Stereotyping them as bimbotic, vulgar, stupid, dopey-sounding, over enthusiastic, weird, lame, and possibly gay and slightly autistic people. The plot of this movie is so simple that i knew what was going to happen next. (Maybe i'm just smart?) haha kidding. However it's full of funny moments which i will never forget, esp. the spirit fingers!!! haha...
conclusion: watch this movie only if you are not afraid of having your intellectual abilities being lowered, i'll give this movie 2 and a half bites out of five if i'm the stone crtic, and 3 bites if i'm ok, 4 bites if i'm mentally insane...=)
