It's Christmas Eve tomorrow! Well, I know the exclamation mark makes me seem like I'm excited about it. However, I'm not.
You see, something happened today that made me realised the coldness of people nowadays.
Alright, a blind man, who was carrying big and small bags of keropok, boarded the train. An old man took the initiative to give up his seat, take note of the bolded words; it's an old man instead of someone who can take the long rides without sitting down. Alright, I was pretty surprised, until people moved away and didn't dare to sit beside him as if he's carrying a deadly virus. Most were women.
Then he started ask people two seats beside him, who's a god damn old lady, where was he. She ignored him! What the f*ck? I was wondering, "What if this poor guy is your son?" She'd probably feel terrible. Well, I'm not very proficient with Hokkien so I couldn't really understand what the blind guy was muttering, but he kept saying "Jia lat liao, jia lat liao," after that old lady ignored him about his whereabouts.
After a few more lines of the mutterings, I decided to ask him where he wanted to go, and he said he wanted to go to Raffles Place to change a train to go to Toa Payoh. He asked me where I lived and which station it was. One thing that is puzzling is that he kept asking me if I'm the same guy. Hmmm, maybe cause' I changed my volume? Well, this is not the point. Move back!
Alright, so I brought him to Toa Payoh, and there were 3, specifically 3, nice people, 2 gave him support when boarding the train(because of the curb), and the other lady took over me, and helped him through the gantry area in Toa Payoh.
I think Singapore needs more of these people. I mean, no one wants to be blind or handicapped, so why not help them when we're perfectly normal to brighten up their days? Concerning today's incident, no one gave a sh*t even when Christmas is coming. And I thought Christmas is all about sharing, caring and showing our love for people.
Well, I hope he's alright and sold most of his keropok. Oh yah, I bought one packet from him too, though not eaten yet. God bless him.
Anyway, training yesterday was great. I shot a 181 out of the 2 games counting score for the first time. I'm pretty satisfied though the second game ain't as good. On Tuesday, I shot a 199 in CDANS. I was damn unlucky. I needed only 7 pins to get a 200, but I got only 6! Crap. I've to admit that synthetic lanes are much easier to play and read. I could get mostly 160s nowadays, but only get around 140 - 150 at Marina Superbowl where they use wood lanes. Well, overall after all these trainings, I realised I really felt comfortable with my approach and had my average up-ed a little. Auntie Kat told me that I was a fast learner and picked up most of the things Uncle Henry and her taught me. However, she said she doesn't want me to progress too fast and wants to be get the foundation strong.
UP SAINTS!!!

Hey heey heeey! Just finished packing my notes, can't stop sneezing cause' of the dust.
Anyway, for those who don't know - I got into SA, Science! I was overjoyed when I saw the results. Initially, I was quite reluctant to click on that button, but still went on with it, but with my eyes closed! Haha, then, I plucked up my courage and just take glance. To my surprise, I got into SA.
The bowling teacher told me that my admission into SA Science is really lucky, cause' I had 14 for prelims, and after HMT, 2 points, CCA, 2 points, I got 10. I missed the Science course by 1 point. I scraped through!
Well, he also asked me if I would stay on after my 'O'Levels results are out. I told him the truth, that I may be going to a 'better' JC if my results are better cause' my mother encourages me to do so. Then, he said that if this is the case, he will not put the coaches with SA team to coach me, cause' they are trying to establish a solid team right from the beginning. Well, I think what I've done is more-or-less right, because it's better than me leaving without saying anything. At least I tell him the truth and not lie to him, telling him that I'll stay faithful, loyal, and those bullsh*t, and end up leaving also.
Actually, honestly, I'll stay with SA, very very likely, but who knows what my results will be? I mean, my mother really wish I get into VJ or something. I really want to stay, because I've always wanted to be in SA since like I'm secondary 2. Not sure why, but I've always wanted to get in. Now, my wish has come true, definitely I won't just throw it away.
Well, we'll see about this later, since there's still time before the 'O'Levels results are ready. Meanwhile, I'll train hard, so as to play for SA, bring back glory and build up a good reputation! UP SAINTS!
Alright, had a barbecue at Mrs Tan's condominium, Regent Grove, last night. It was pretty fun, especially starting the fire. Oh yeah, the amber that was produced this time, was really pretty, marvellous and HOT. Lol, I was standing in front of the pit and could feel the lower part of my body getting warmer, and it got real hot. Lol. Anyway, Mrs Tan's house is really nice, though it's a lil' small, but she's only leaving with her husband, so I guess it's pretty alright. Nothing much happened except Timothy, Zhiwei, Medwin and I were playing with fire. Lol. Fun. Oh ya, before I forget, the prawns I ate last night are called heavenly prawns - know why? Cause' it brought a few of us to heaven and have to be kicked to be brought back down to earth. It was really very very nice. Can't believe I'd taste such food in a barbecue, lol. I'll never forget the taste man!
Hmmm, I think I'll stop here, probably update another time this week, before Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, have fun and stay healthy!
UP SAINTS!

Actually, I've a lot to update, but I'm just lazy, and don't have the mood to do so.
Anyway, I went for the SA training on Wednesday. Overall, it was pretty alright, but I felt kinda' inferior when I saw how good the rest were. Then, I learnt from Amelia that some of them either ARE or WERE in the youth team, which explains why they are so consistent and good. One of them even scored a 279 (which is all strikes except a spare on a frame). There's another 2 coming up on Wednesday and Saturday. I hope I would be more consistent man. =
Let's forget about the sad training, and move on!
Alright, supposed to attend the SA physical training, but had the 4C1 chalet, so I skipped it. Amelia had something on too, so, both of us skipped it. Lol.
Hmmm, the chalet was pretty boring actually, because there ain't much for us to do. Arcade, pool(super expensive), television, cards, mahjong, bowling, Escape, Wild Wild Wet, and nothing much. Wild Wild Wet and Escape were totally out of the question, cause' MOST of us found it boring. Some of them went to play at Escape, makes me wonder what's so nice inside. Hence, we only did the first few. Luckily I left on the second night, if not I'd be bored to death. =\ Another highlight, was that Miss Koh attended the chalet on the second night, cause' there's a so-called party where there were food(satay, bee hoon, pizza, cocktail, etc.). Had quite a nice talk with Miss Koh and the few anti-kohs, lol, talk about irony. Finally, hung around, and waited for Medwin's father to fetch Zhiwei and I home. Slept in the car, lol, for quite a while. Appreciate it man, cause' I was really tired to be taking the train, furthermore, there were NO more train left, haha.
Oh yah, I didn't talk about the graduation night, because there weren't much to talk about, just that Leen said that I looked 'too-decent' cause' I combed my sideburns behind my ear, lol. Anyway, long time since I wore a long-sleeve shirt, lol, WARM. Other than the formal wear, we were supposed to bring along a wrapped gift to 'exchange'. I don't know who's gift did I get, but I know Wei Bin got mine, lol, a 'The Incredibles' pencil case! Lol, cute and nice. On the side note, some of the girls look weird in gowns, dresses or skirts, while the others look great, lol. Looking weird doesn't mean ugly for you people out there, probably because I'm just not used to seeing them in such formal wear.
Quite sad actually, after 4 years, those who are hated, are still being hated, those who form cliques are still in cliques. It's really fast actually, I really enjoyed secondary school life to be honest. I'm not sure why, but I'm afraid I won't enjoy JC life, especially when everything's piling on you after the first three months. I'm afraid, and worried, although I know worrying isn't gonna help. "Anxiety is inevitable, but worrying is optional", not sure who and where is this quote from, but it's really true. Anyway, within a flash, we will know the posting results 2 weeks from now, I'm really anxious. Anyway, I kinda realise, as I get older, I tend to worry more! That's no good. If only I can have a bit of Timothy's 'bo-chap-ness'. Hmmm...
Anyway, I'll stop here, so long people, good luck to those who are waiting for their posting results.
