Hmmm, reached home not long ago, and just took a bath.
Anyway, had training this morning, and damn, does it rock man. Even though I only had 176 for the first game, and 142 till the 7th frame for the second game(not enough time to complete the second game), I really felt consistent through the two games. I had splits, that's why... Anyway, that's beside the point. After Uncle Paul told me to follow-through all the way, and after executing it, I really became more consistent, as in hitting my targets, and a better ball speed as well. The best was that I could feel the pressure on my fingers when I gave my ball some "lift". Overall, today's training was fruitful and satisfying. I hope I can bowl like this for the 'A' Divisions in May. Hmmm, I believe I can do it!!!
Alright, now, about yesterday. Hmmm, the MB(MarryBrown) gang and the LQC(Lameness Quotient Club) met up to bowl at Victors because Zhen Xiong wanted to get a new ball. Hmmm, haha, Nigel's shorts got pulled down by Choon Hua and it was really damn funny. Haha, other than the shorts incident, we took videos of the approach and ball reaction with Choon Hua's handphone; Nigel made some stupid pose after his throw which really tickled all of us. It was really fun and enjoyable. Thereafter, Choon Hua and I met up with our CG to have steamboat(YES, yet again, which is damn sian) at Chin Huat. Food wasn't exactly fantastic. Fei Juan brought her camera and started taking photographs of everyone. Hmmm, had a little fun taking photographs, talking crap. Haha, especially the ever manly Wennee. :D Anyway, after that we went to the arcade to slack awhile and went home after that. Haha, the "outing" was quite fun afterall, but can be improved.
Hmmm, going to get my uniform with Reg, Vic and Zhen Xiong. Alright, dinner's gonna be home, I'll sign off now, with another of my "rubbish".
[ Does time heal all wounds?
NO! My arse!
I'm sorry I've to tell you goons,
time is like grass...
USELESS! ]
*Disclaimer: I know grass is useful in preventing soil erosion and in desertification due to the shelter it provides for the soil. However, as I said, this is my "rubbish", so "grass" is only used for the description. Please do not flame me, especially Geography students.

Yep, I'm officially a saint. :)
Hmmm, I thought of something, "Everytime I see you, my heart will skip a beat; however, I won't mind seeing you year after year, month after month, day after day and time after time, even if it means the stoppage of the beating of my heart."
Lol, rubbish. I was just eating seaweed while sitting in my room, and this came into my mind. Don't tell me if you think it's rubbish, tell me if you think it's good. :X Haha.
I'm bored... I'm bored...
Hmmm... memories...
[ Day after day,
I told myself I'll let go,
but I must say,
I can't seem to do so.
Day after day,
my routine repeats,
but I must say,
your image greets.
Day after day,
everything's the same,
but I must say,
my feelings for you still stay the same. ]
Supposed to go out with my class, but Ming Po had to appeal, Guo Wei had to appeal, so, I thought it's better to postpone it, which means I have to get Cyndi's new album later of the week. Conclusion? Another day of rotting at home.
Anyway, if I drop SlayR another time as I approach, I'll re-drill the thumbhole. Uncle Walter said that the span was drilled a tad too "stretched" which means my fingers will not be able to hang on to the ball long enough as my thumb comes out. Anyway, thumbhole also a lil' too big. Two white grip tapes and still a lil' lose. Hmmm, maybe I'll drill it this Friday. Gotta call up Uncle Walter to ask him if he'll be opening his shop. Troublesome. I hope my hands won't grow anymore. If not, I'll have to re-drill my balls again. :(
[ Side by side,
they are lined up,
with same numbers at each side,
an equilateral formed up.
Thumb is released,
fingers rotated,
I'm pleased,
It slid and rotated.
They screamed,
It grinned,
We screamed,
I grinned.
Strike! ]
Haha, lame.
I think I'll stop here.

Hmmm, first day of school today is pretty fun. PE was great. Haha, the best part was the period of time a few of us stayed to play Chinese chess, and some other games like "Bluff" with Chinese chess. Haha, too bad some of them leaving SA, which means I'll lose some "kakis" to play chess...
Anyway, went out with XsT on Saturday after training. Firstly, training was great. I was releasing my ball pretty nicely, but due to the dry lanes that I was assigned to, and my slow ball speed, my ball started hooking right after it passed the arrows. This really made my life difficult, cause' I can't find a line to bowl. End up, I wasn't really aiming to hit down the 10 pins, but rather to be able to hit my target, attain balance, release well and follow through hard. After training, I went to Victors to eat chicken chop rice with Reg, Zhen Xiong, Nigel, Vic, Choon Hua and Amelia. Haha, had great laughs while eating. We took quite a while to eat, then went to Safra Mount Faber to put our equipment so that we won't need to bring them to school on Wednesday; Vic didn't follow us cause' she needed to bowl in the "Bowler of the month" on Sunday. Went home straight away after that to get changed and wash up and get ready to meet up with the XsTs.
Alright, I reached Newton at around 1650 and only saw Indi there. Waited and chatted with him. Finally, Gad came with Mut and Sum, then Aaron and Alvin came as well. Shortly after, we reached Newton Hawker Centre and looked for a seat. After that, waited for Bren. At the same time, we booked our comps at Cyber Dome first, in case. Alright, ate, took some photographs and talked. Then we went to Cyber Dome, hoping we'll get comps this time, and not get some sketchy shit like, "Booking doesn't mean you'll get comps."
Alright, HERO came to the LAN shop, then we started playing. Played till around 2030, my brother came. Halfway through, I received a message and thought it was Weber or somebody, and to my surprise, it was Shermin! Haha, was quite surprised, but happy. The message described how a friend is like with the basic words of Mathematics like add, subtract, multiply and divide. Haha, really amused how Mathematics can be applied to EVERYTHING. Anyway, carried on playing till around 2230. Haha, it was really fun, maybe because it has been a long period of time since I played. Haha, the Crossfire was really fun. Sniper rampage. Oh man, it was really some cool shit. "Average of one person being sniped per second", quoted from Bren. Haha.
Hmmm, paid and went out of the LAN shop, took some photographs and went home.
Haha, what a fun day it was.
Alright, next to the CT scouts and guides campfire on Friday. Hmmm, had some fun, but frankly, the campfire wasn't really as great as I expected it to be. Anyway, I think I shouldn't be saying too much about it, since it's over. Hopefully, they'll be able to learn from this campfire and improve on what is not well done. Hmmm, one thing that I really wanna say is that I saw an ex-guide that really really looks like Jayce, just that the ex-guide has long hair. Uncanny look-alike case. Damn.
Hmmm, anyway, tomorrow's the release of the posting results. Hope I'll be able to get in SA man. Hmmm, hope that everyone will get into their dream JC. May god bless us.
Anyway, signing off. So long...

Oh yeah baby, I got home yesterday at around 1800 hours. The Malaysia trip rocks, truly rocks.
Alright, first day was pretty boring, travelled there, checked in, team bonding, sleep. The team bonding was really fun. Haha.
Second day, woke up at 0700 hours, went to wash up and stuff, then woke Choon Hua up since he's still sleeping at 0700. We then went down to the restaurant to have our breakfast. Hmmm, breakfast was pretty alright, sort of a buffet. Ate my fill, definitely. After breakfast was training, and it took us approximately 30 minutes to reach the alley. It was equipped with AMF lanes and returns. Overall, it looks real pretty. Got ready and stuff, then I was told that we only had 4 games, cause' they are charging us by the number of games and not the duration, which totally sucked. Anyway, I accepted it and just went to bowl. Well, I have to say I didn't bowl really well, cause' mostly it's because of my follow-through. Uncle Henry came to me when I'm at the 3rd game and as a result, my fourth game really made a big improvement - by almost 30 pins. Anyway, as I said it was my fault mostly, but the lane condition played a part as well. It was entirely different from the local alleys. It was oiled with a reverse block. Which means it's super dry on the inside, from 15 to 25 board, and oily on the outside. I've never bowled on this kinda condition and therefore could not find the pocket, and it's not easy to find the pocket. Anyway, I benefitted quite a lot from the training. After that was mental training. Again, I learnt a lot from what Uncle Henry and Uncle Paul said. Really. Hmmm, after mental training, was dinner, team bonding then I went to bed. Team bonding is really something worth looking forward, cause' it's really fun and very close interaction with my team mates.
Third day, the day the friendly competition between Saints bowling team and Daiman youth team was held. As usual, breakfast and stuff. Then went to the alley. The first event was the singles. Lane condition was the same. Hmmm, I bowled like how I usually bowl, just a little below my average, but got a game above 200. :D After the Singles was the team. Hmmm, bowled a little poorer than Singles, but I think I really did my best for both events. Haha, my team was 5th, thanks to Choon Hua; really pulled us up. Then, dinner, team bonding, haha, but this time, I didn't sleep till around 0430. Haha. Played "asshole dai-dee" with Jensen, Lee Jie, Nigel, Clara and Calista. Haha, it was really fun, we played from around probably 0100 to around 0400. Then after that Clara, Nigel and I went back to Jensen and Lee Jie's room to continue playing. Too bad Choon Hua slept. Anyway, we played till 0430 then I went back to my room, together with Nigel and Lee Jie. Choon Hua took Lee Jie's bed, so Lee Jie took "refuge" in my room. Nigel dare not go back to his room, haha, cause' it's too far away, and the corridor is quite dark. Anyway, Nigel slept on the floor with the first layer of blankets from the beds, Lee Jie took Choon Hua's bed, and without doubt, I sleep in mine. Hmmm, I woke up late, haha. But, could have been later if no one woke me up.
Alright, fourth day, was the same for the morning. Then went to City Square to shop in the afternoon. All of us were pretty disappointed because Miss Wong only gave us 2 hours. Anyway, I only bought a pair of DC shoes, which costs RM80. It's red, black and white. A bit weird, but, well, I like it, haha. Anyway, Lee Jie, and Nicholas bought a pair also. After shopping, we went back to school, and all of us went home.
Hmmm, this trip is really fruitful. Other than in terms of bowling, it also brought me closer to many of my team mates. Especially the MB Gang. Haha. Really hope there'll be another trip next year.
Saints bowling team rules!
If I tell you I've been missing and thinking of you all this time, will you believe me?

Training yesterday was great. Hmmm, the approach was just right, not sure why, but it gave me just the right amount of slide. The best thing was that I didn't have very late thumbs, all the releases were pretty alright, to me that is. Anyway, the worse thing was that, time was up when I was having one of the better games, which is really crappy.
Had the Malaysia tour briefing by Nicholas and then some of us went to have chicken chop rice at the cafe above the alley. Nice.
Hmmm, nothing much to update actually. Except that training was really smooth. Hope my trainings in the future will be as good as this.

Sorry, I forgot to write down the breakdown of my results. And here they are:
English - B3
Humans - B3
A Math - A1
E Math - A1
Physics - A1
Chem - B3
HCL - C5
(LOL, I know it's bad, but it's cause' of my composition which is a lil' out of point I think.)
Chinese - A2
Alright, my aunt called yesterday and told me she's gonna reward me with anything I want with a budget of $150. Haha, I was quite surprised cause' she didn't tell me beforehand. And so, I thought of what to buy, but realised I've got nothing I want badly except a pair of SST 5s. Other than SST 5s, I need nothing else, cause' I've got a new watch, my discman is working and I don't need an MP3 player cause' I'm just not patient enough to go search for websites to download songs since MIRC went down. And so, I think I'll discuss with her, hopefully she'll agree to give me the $150 and I'll go get my shoes, cause' the pair of shoes cost $200. Damn, have to admit they are expensive. Hmmm, but I think I'll need it, cause' my current pair of shoes do not have interchangable soles. With only one sole, I have problems getting sufficient amount of slide on tacky synthetic approaches which means I need Easy Slide, I also have problems getting too much slide on wooden approaches as in those of Victors and I need a shoes brush. So... I think I'll get SST 5s which comes with 4 interchangable soles which will solve my problems. I just hope that the pair of shoes will last me for at least till the end of JC life.
Hmmm, training yesterday was bad. The drills were good, I could hit the tapes on the lanes most of the time. I was pretty satisfied about it, but when it comes to the games... it was all a different story. I got many splits... 1-2-10, 1-2-9, 1-2-4-10, 4-7-10... etc. Hmmm, but I think I shall heed my friend's advice to forget the bad games and take them easily. I think I've figured out what went wrong and I shall try to change it on Saturday. Anyway, training will be at Victors on Saturday which I don't will be good. Hmmm, hopefully everything's gonna be alright. And hopefully Uncle Henry will be back from his overseas trip. I hope... I hope... I hope...
YES, there's a barbecue tomorrow evening with my CG. Hmmm, hopefully it won't rain.
So long for now...

YES! I got a beautiful pair of "chopsticks" - 11! Haha, it was one point better than I expected. Anyway, this is both good and no good. My mother wants me to go to VJ, but it's one point lesser than what I got after bonus. I don't feel like trying, but I'm afraid she might ask me to try. Hmmm... this isn't as good as it seems, is it? Hmmm, anyway, I got the same score as my brother.
Hmmm, most of the people in my CG got around 10 to 13, which I don't think is good, cause' we won't be in the same class. Hmmm, hopefully my civics tutor will pull all of us together. :D
And so, I have today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and the day after the day after tomorrow to decide. I hope I can still end up in SA, hopefully.
Anyway, I'm really happy I'm one of the ones who are happy and not those who aren't satisfied. Even though my score is quite high, but I think I did my best and this is something I expected I could get. Come to think of it, it's all worth it...
Hmmm, bless those who aren't happy and satisfied, hope they will be able to accept their results as soon as possible and settle down.
The release of results was yesterday,
worrying and exciting.
Some were sad while some were gay.
Sad or gay, people were crying.
To those who are sad, and have minds not at rest,
don't be too hard on yourself;
for everyone knows that you did your best.
We've got ten fingers and not twelve,
what's done is done,
what's over is over,
so don't think of the word "run",
but accept it like a lucky four-leave-clover.
Haha, rubbish that I came up with on the spot, but I hope those who are sad and reading this, please, cheer up and don't dwell on it. All the best.
