woke up today feeling really tired. its funny how i can wake up for soccer but feel extremely sleepy for sch and church. haha.

i was so tired my eyes were unwilling to open bigger. i took freaking ages to actually get my contacts on.

and so i made it safely to church for service. speaker was entertaining and i guess he got his message across. went to sengkang sec after that to pray for the sch. prayed for its students, its teachers and its principals. and for the first time, i actually felt that prayer is miraculous and wonderful. like, i actually believed what i prayed would come to pass.

went for soccer after that. suppose to play for francis flowers but then we defected over or rather we were deported over to the opponents cos they didn't have enough players. anyway, our opponents were called acs fc so we kinda fitted in nicely. they were a bunch of adults whose children were in acs schools. fantastic. i must join the team 20/30 years later.

anyway, we won 4-2. i scored one. top corner. and one assist. haha. convincing victory. tremendous downpour after the match. we were stuck in the void deck of some ulu flat for about 20 mins before we decided to rush to the bus stop. I SWEAR IT WAS FREAKING COLD WHEN WE RAN.

but it felt good for some weird reason.

went to compasspoint to eat and then slacked and talked for a while at starbucks. great night out.

back to sch tmr for op dry run.

darnit i still have to redo the script for ocip performance. back to reality mk, back to reality.

and oh. now everyone's calling me mingky! hahaha. look what you've done chelle! but its ok. mingky actually sounds nice. i like it. better than meerkat anyday. haha. so yeah, MINGKY's going off.

and so term 4 ends. the year past by rather quickly. yes, its been eventful. lots of memories, fond and not-so-fond. lots of pain but at the same time, joy. its been one hell of a ride.

new surroundings, new environment. i've just about started to fit in. speaking of fitting in, i'm just about starting to mingle with my teammates. i mean its like usually my teammates and i don even say hi or bye when we see each other outside of training but at least now, we say hi and sometimes speak to each other. which is cool. one step closer! :D

anyway, training's getting pretty tough. i realized i've got loads to learn in terms of playing competitive football. hopefully, i learn fast enough to get myself a place in the first eleven. i believe i have the potential and ability to get myself among the substitutes. but what i really want is to play against acjc. if its any game, i wanna play against acjc.

and score against andrewtan. :P

anyway, i feel confident about my group's oral presentation. we did pretty well overall for our dry dry run. and that's good. after touching up weixiang's portion, i believe we can score well and maybe achieve a band 1. who knows! haha.

ok i just checked my ranking points. 70/90. apparently, minimum for university is like 75. darnit.

im so bored at home stupid cd drive doesnt work stupid xbox is so ancient im playing games from 4 years ago.

damnit i need to go out, party, watch movies and stuff.

my life is sooooo not a life at the moment im rotting at home with nothing to do.


its so boring im blogging at 1230 in the morning

gosh i really need someone to make my life more interesting

i just got back from gymming for the second week in a row with danieltay. its actually quite refreshing except that its really packed. and there are really buff people around and then your ego gets a battering cos these people are lifting 100+ lbs of weights while you're like doing half or less than half of what they are doing. DAMMIT.

ok. so. i've also gone for my 2nd soccer training in 2 weeks. which is good. i've got the motivation to attend trainings and stuff now. anyway, played against the teachers on thursday. we beat them 18-3. hahaha. i scored one goal but should have scored 3 more. ah well. at least i scored. haha.

i'm kinda tired right now. i wanted to blog about a lot of stuff but i donno where to begin with. haha. i shall blog again when i have the inspiration.

HOLY SHIT IM GOING TO CAMBODIA IN 3 WEEKS!!!

pls oh pls, let someone pretty be in my ocip group. pls. HAHAHAHA.

i just got back from a day out with church people. it was a load of fun.

started day off with service. sad to say, i haven't been feeling God in my life. didn't really sense or feel His presence today either. i don't know why but i can't seem to find God anywhere sometimes. anyway, i sat in for jamming today. its very very nice to watch them. i have this thought of returning to jamming team but i'm not sure if i really have the commitment to go all the way. i don't want to quit because of studies. that would mean i would have to give up football and perhaps some going out time because i'll have to study instead of going out. so i'll need some time to think about re-joining. besides, my technique has become rather rusty. i always feel i'm not gd enough to play.

gotta seriously think about whether i should rejoin or not.
in other news, i only finished half my rice for dinner tonight. i'm DETERMINED to lose a bit of weight to ge the ideal weight for football.

my motivation: playing against acjc next year and scoring against andrewtanjianming.

oh and i've been hearing stories about samuel see. hahaha. SAMUELLL. that idiotic bloke. anyway, i want to talk about how tpjc has moulded me into a different person.

when i was in acs, i was very unopinionated. i pretty much sat on the fence when it came to decision making and going with the flow. that led to procrastination, a really bad habit. i'm not saying i have stopped procrastinating. but after coming to tpjc, i've become more outspoken and i'm more willing to speak my mind and develop my own opinions about people/situations. basically i've changed from a "anything lor" person to a "my opinion, not yours" person.

theres pros and cons. i become a bit more domineering although i'm really still a nie person inside. haha. but i might offend people without knowing it myself nowadays.

after a year, i have to say i don really hate my sch now. not that i like it very much, but there's no hard feelings for it. i don blame anyone now for putting me in tpjc. in fact at hindsight, i actually think tpjc has done me more good than harm. tpjc has given me a good clique of friends and fired me up to study again. my competitiveness has increased since i started studying at tpjc. i'm keen to win at everything. not that its a good thing but at least i've become motivated to excel. and yes, i hate to lose nowadays.

well, tpjc doesn't really has that much eyecandy but hey, a few here and there do exist and its sufficient i guess. nope im not attached or anything. as i told wz when she asked me if i was SALAD (single, available, lonely and desperate) i told her i was SA.

ah well. i guess God really hasn't been that bad. i think typing this post has been gd. i suddenly realize God has been taking care of me throughout the year and that i haven't been having a torrid time in fact i'm revelling in the environment i'm in.

in other news, i'm training really hard to whip myself into shape for the a div next year. now, my triceps hurt real bad and i can't stretch them. poor me.


thats me attempting an emo pose but my friend says its more of a 'where have all the girls gone' pose. you decide for yourself.

and so i've received my results. very very ordinary. i guess i'm luckier than some. but i'm really ticked off with myself for getting such ordinary grades.

bio- C
chem - D
chinese - A
math - B
gp - C
econs - C

yeah that's about it. on a positive note, i didn't get below 50 for any of my subs. on a negative note, i actually wanted an A for both chem and math because i really thought the papers were easy. chem was the most infuriating. i realized i lost 14 marks because of pure carelessness and negligence. i could have gotten a B. less irritating than a D grade. and i missed out on the A grade for math by like 2 MARKS. so IRRITATING.

okay but i got like 2nd in level for chinese and top in class for gp. although thats like quite good, i'm still damn sad about chem and math.

i'm gonna pray for john. hope he doesn't get retained. that guy is just plain unlucky to get retained man. i really hope he gets promoted along with us.

anyways, in other news, bbq was great fun. played some stupid number game which was really funny. the only stupid thing that happened was the bloody rain. otherwise it was awesome. here's some pics.


john looks a bit retarded here. hahahaa.


george's reaction after seeing... you-know-who


i have no idea what francis is doing. his expression's like a cross between emo and godknowswhat.


sengjuong and peter love john sooo much.


us with food in mouth


amanda and i blowing out the candles on our shared birthday cake.

oh and special mention to soulmate for wishing me happy birthday! hahaha.

life doesn't get easier after promos. there's still shit load of things you have to do like sports and going out.

things that are less mundane compared to mugging for promos and perhaps the consequences/aftereffects are much more desirable.

these few days have led me to think even though i have been and am still in the midst of having fun.

human beings are really very unpredictable. you never know what an individual is really thinking about you. everything can be just a facade. when you think that others are doing something for your own good, sometimes it may be more than that. maybe its more for their benefit than yours.


when others appear friendly in front of you, you never know if they are actually waiting to just stab you in the back/talking behind your back etc etc.

if life was simpler than this. hmmmm.

woohoo! promos are over! woohooo!

for the first time in my 16 years (ok 17 today) of living, i feared for my life yesterday.
its a long story. lets just say, i'm never going to bishan to play soccer again.

yay! birthday today. thanks to brendawanzhendomrichardrachelshanggeorgeivanamandachenweixiangjiaweijingzhidanieldebo for wishing me happy birthday!

and oh i almost forgot. those who dropped a testi wishing me happy birthday as well! and to those who called and sang me the birthday song! AHHH. i was really touched. hahahaha. thanks guys.

i'm hooked onto badminton. i think badminton is such a great sport everyone should play it.

chem was great. as in i know i won't fail. lets see what grade i get.

can't wait for the end of promos. weeee~
