Nothing interesting happens now,, but guess what!
I realised that there are 31 557 600 secs in a year. hahaz
lets say I minus 561 600 secs for cycling, 9 204 300 secs for sleeping, 5 616 000 secs for school, and 468000 secs for church, I would have 15 707 700 secs of free time. If I take away 3934800 secs for studying, I would still have 11772900 secs or 3270 hours and 15 mins to do nothing. Somehow it doesn't sem so amazing.. I guess most of it has gone into slacking and probably doind what I'm doing now,, now just blogging but I do surf the net a lot. And also a few hundred hours on the games I used to play. Of course, now I don't. And also don't understand why my friends still enjoy playing them while I find them boring. Now I would cycle at least 3 hours a week and another hour or so in other sports. I suppose I'm getting boring with the numbers and stuff. . .
Well.., if only life could be more interesting,, or should be. The next time I post would mean that something of interest intensity +1% has happened...

After debating with myself on this for about a month, I decided to put it here,,,
From the time we come into this world, until we die and go back, we experience the world. We study, then get a job, then we retire as we grow old, then we die. Then what is the purpose of living? If in the end we all go to heaven, nothing we do on earth will affect us in heaven. Wouldn't it be better if we all existed in heaven then there wouldn't be people in hell. So what's the point of living now if everything we do now doesn't matter when we die. What was the earth created for??
Fell sick today, couldn't go to church, couldnt study without continuous sneezing, thank God for no homework this weekend. Studying for National Bible Quiz, trying to cope with studies, Failed A Maths, 1 month to exams, stressed, praying.

Its a month to the end of years and something.. I just don't know what, is urging me to study full time. I have been very slack thrugh the last two years in secondary school, and still managed to get good results. This year, I don't have any major exams or anything but we were told that sec 3 is the year where the EOYs are set more difficult to the extent of double, which is why I quit gaming,, and I find now that online games are boring, and the reason why I liked to play them last time was because I wouldn't think school.. Now I relax by cycling,,, 2-3 hours sometimes, but when I cycle, I find that I feel very free, and can cycle at fast speeds for a long time,, even though I dunno why because I'm supposed to be having a severe asthma attack now, I do not feel any breathing constraints when I cycle, why is prob$ably why I enjoy it. But when I plan my routes, I would realise that Singapore is miniature to the extent that I have nowhere to cycle anymore, sometimes I would find myself in Bukit Timah from my house in Dover in a few minutes and wonder how I got there.
Ok, I recently came up with a theory which states that - Any object in motion will always be travelling in the direction away from itself. I dunno whether its has been thought of already but it does sound logical when explained. Actually I found thus out when a bee started following me when I was cycling casually along west coast highway. The direction I wanted to travel is the direction the bee is facing, which is away from the "object", if you get what i mean... lolx

I'm feelin so wierd... Just like when I was in sec1... When approaching the end of year exams, I suddenly feel helpless, like I screwed up this year... I haven't been failing so many tests before. Now its about 1 month more before the EOYs and I'm getting scared,, I guess I haven't been studying hard enough like last year, perhaps I only do when there is a major exam... I want to study but can't coz I have been sleeping late for the past few weeks, now I just fall asleep while doing my homework,, if only there were 36 hours a day,, I would have 12 hours to sleep and 12 hours to study.. hahas,., I better start to revise now... cos thats almost impossible,, a small chance of a miracle,, but the Lord will help me, I'm sure... Somehow when i think that way, I feel a sense of satisfaction, like my good results are guaranteed by God. Of course if I do put in my best,, I will receive the best from the Lord.
All things are possible in the name of the Lord.

The musical that I wrote about down there,,,,, was nice , tho i felt that there were a lot of extra parts like the raining thing and stuff, probably just to fill up the spaces to make the musical longer,, quite common,, out of the 14 musicals I have watched, 12 have these extra parts that are not related to the theme of the musical. I think that the producers did a good job - almost the whole musical revolved around a same tune that got everyone humming it afterwards -- a kind of manipulation that producers used to "catch" the audience.
ok,, less about these stuff that you guys think is boring,, I have been blogging for less than a month,, but I have seen many different blogs and somehow, I find that the most boring ones are those that keep talking about umm... "" my girlfriend and I did this yesterday,, it was so fun.... blah blah,,, ""not referring to anyone in particular, statistically, about 60% of most blogs are like that,, 10% of of them are boring, 90% are irritating... even err.... I don't do that so much,,, as you can see in my previous posts,, bloggers should use them moderately to add fun into the posts,, not make them the subject of the post,, directing readers away from the main point.
Changing the topic again.... I would like to highlight that all those friendster and all sorts of 'learn more about' me
on me are currently not operated by me and you would do good to prevent yourself from interacting to the people using them,,,,,, why wouldn't I delete them?? I guess coz I"m too lazy too, and they can always make another fake account of me again,, so why care,, I would rather do something less time consuming,, like cycling to woodlands again or wakeboarding in the lake near my uncle's house using err... my uncle's boat,, or whatever you call that thing.

Just after I had done with NDP, I thought I would be free again,, ... apparently not. After a week of relax, today, I'm gonna wear my full uniform again.. Ushering at the musical,, if you thought I was going to watch it.. I'm not complaining,, coz I can say I enjoy wearing my full uniform.. I am already quite used to wearing it on Saturdays. I guess I would meet a lot of Fairsians too,, hahas ,, I better go get ready my uniform for later,, who knows, I might usher my principal later on..

Seems like I did quit playing games for a reason... I now have 2 competions and a musical to think about, together with the many common tests and some overdue homework...plus the current homework. Already trying to cope with my 11 Chinese newspaper reports that will probably take about half an hour each, my d&t teacher approached me for me to go for a national design competition. Then there is the National Bible Quiz and ushering again!! at the Fairfield Musical in full uniform which takes 2 hours to prepare. ... And now I realise about 90% of all my posts in this blog have a complaint in it... Perhaps thats the way Singaporeans are.. but back to the point, I guess I wont be blogging so much anymore, with end of year exams comin soon... gotta study chinese hahas... Still looking out for that councillor I mentioned in the previous post... I wish myself good luck then... err.. in my studies... yeah..... lolx...........................................and the councillor business....

I don't think that the title of this post has got anything to do with the content but.. I guess its just to fill up the space. Today, I realised that I am enjoying my teenage life.. or in other words, thought that my adult life would be boring... if I ever have one, that is. Just two nights ago I met this cool sec 2 umm.. female councillor. It was during the methodist thingy that I met her as I was an usher for the teachers coming into the school. I didn't realise that I felt that way until some of my friend (discreetly and probably excitedly) pointed out that they noticed I always passed on the visitors for her to usher into the school instead of the few other councillors who were standing around. I suppose thats the point of this post,,, I also suppose why I am posting something that any of my school friends would get excited about on the net is probably because very little of them know about this blog... Only more mature friends of mine who are related to me in other ways visit this page regularly... Thinking back at the point of this post, I find myself not wanting to grow up,, I find myself enjoying these situations in life.

We have been training for 4 months and yet the parade seemed to finish so fast, the hour I stood there representing my contingent passed quickly. I realise that those reharsals that I miss so much was not just about puting up a good show on the 9th of August.. In fact, the tiring reharsals wasn't as tiring as it was fun. I had even made friends from other companies, other uniformed groups, especially St. John's Ambulance Association, as they were the contingent next to us.(trying not to give away which contingent I was in...) Today is one day after National Day and I find myself missing it already. It definitely has been a memorable event so thanks everyone who participated in the NDP...including al the performance groups, the choir for the great show, the last time in the National Stadium. I feel too that it shouldn't be demolished though I have only been there thrice, counting all the reharsals as one. . . the most fun times were when we were training the army camps and ..waiting in the indoor stadium,, we got to watch the reharsals by the performers and the choir, which was great. If I were given a chance to take part in it again, I would, whatever I mat be doing, whether in the guard of honour or performing, I wouldn't mind being a cleaner cleaning up too, after the parade.

I realised everyone would be typing a post to declare Singapore's birthday,, so I got started on mine. .. Well what can I say...Have been living here all my life, and I don't think I would have the thought of leaving. . . Like the newspaper says, we netizens would probably be cynical than to say "I love Singapore!", maybe thats true, I haven't been visiting blogs lately. . .................
I definitely love Singapore.
Tomorrow,,, National Day Parade,, To think I have so far been to about 143 hours of training just for this 1 hour of parade in which I would be doing nothing but jogging and standing in the parade... Still, I have to say i enjoyed the reharsals a lot.. we got to mix with other uniformed groups and performance groups... gotta stop.. my laptop's getting overheated..been on for 4 hours...

Yeah! we've seen the finalists sing from British albums, we shall now commence our comments!! Somehow the idols in this show didn't seem to be at their best. I supported Jasmine since... err .. can't remember but she certainly picked the wrong song. Probably Rahimah would have done better in that but Jasmine's looks and personality didn't fit very well with the genre of the song. I'm sure some may find that that comment was biased..hahas cant help it. Then we move on to.. Jay. . .His voice definitely sounded natural and I think that was the first time he actually matched his voice so perfectly with the song he chose.. Unfortunately I couldn't help noticing that he looked somewhat like one of those chinese pop star singers. Still, if Jasmine didn't exist, I would vote for him after Jonathan, ,,,, who has a voice i cannot criticize, and one thing in tonights show that caused the negative comments from the judges was that some of them had decided to "try out" kinds of song they had never sung before. I guess its good to be flexible,, but shouldn't they realize that the song doesn't work out before they perform?
Still ecstatic that i had met the finalists last saturday during the NDP preview.. as one od those in the show, we were stationed in the indoor stadium and received a visit from them. only thing was that our seats were high up and they were down giving out autographed
notebooks to the Nan Hua students. We still managed to come into close proximity of about less tham 1 metre after the show. ... well dont think I'm one of those people always crazy about their idols, cause I'm not. I think there are definitely other talented people around, just that they don't get the chance to promote their talent.

Events everyday gives me the inspiration to write... well.. type in this case..
This week my school is hosting a group of students from China for a cultural exchange programme.. They did look more Chinese than us, definitely. They also spoke more Chinesely than us. But somehow, I couldn't help noticing many students trying to make fun of them.. Some of them tried to imitate the way that they spoke or tried to joke about them in Chinese while they smile and pretend they know what the joke is about as everyone else is laughing.
Those laughing were Chinese. If we are from the same race, why can't we respect them. Perhaps the reason why we speak and look different from them is because of some non-Chinese marriage in our family line or something. Though all that, previous generations in our family were from China, probably were just like them too. Then aren't they all making fun of themselves?
I really hope Singaporeans like these would mature quickly to realise that we should respect all races, however different they are from us, including people who may not be related to us at all. Isn't this what Singapore is all about?
