Alright, I just arrived home from training. One of the best training. Haha, I think I can bowl well at Victors. Previously, I had a 184.5 average, and today, I had 174 which I think is quite good. First 2 games were great, maybe because I could focus very well, but the last two games, I started losing focus and couldn't really hit my target very consistently. I had 177, 200, 169, 150. Hmmm, a lil' inconsistent, but, oh well, I did my best and I'm happy! Haha.
Ok, this week has been really hectic. Thankfully I finished PI last week, and only left with the removing of excess words, because I have 801 words, in total. Hmmm, really have to cut down. Tutorials were really crashing down on me. I used my WHOLE Sunday to complete my tutorials because I have FMA, FMB, and Physics tutorial on Monday. Hmmm, I guess I'm kinda lagging behind, so, I gotta make good use of the coming Labour Day to catch up. Hopefully, I can do it. Hopefully I can have the wisdom and perseverence.
I'll stop here, busy night ahead. Shall update soon. Take care people.

Hi, if you're wondering why the hell am I here, it's because my headache is not that bad now, maybe because I had a great sleep.
So, anyway, I had a dream, haha, nice dream. I dreamt that I was with her, and we were really close, and I even shared a dirty joke with her that I recently got to know of. Haha. Spectacular. Hmmm, wishful thinking, I know, haha, but it's a dream and it's where things that are impossible become possible. Anyway, I really hope it'll be a dejavu, someday, somehow.
So anyway, Hamster sent me a few songs from F.I.R from their second album, and one of the songs is Qian Nian Zhi Lian. Hmmm, nice song, nice title, nice voice, nice lyrics, I like.
Unfortunately, with this nice song, I still have to do tutorials. Sadly, I'm stuck at MI, which is partly an FM topic, BUT, I'm not going give up man. Another tutorial from a pure FM topic is Polynomial Equations from FMB. Even though it seems like it's one of the easiest topic of FM, I got stuck, because I just can't seem to find the relation between X and Y. Grrr... SO, due to minor 'stucks', I've decided to do my Physics tutorial instead, after updating.
Hmmm, I should have woken up earlier, so I can complete as much homework as I can, cause' I have training at 1 at Victors, so may not have time and energy to do tutorials at night. Anyway, I'm kinda excited and really feel the pressure because I heard that it's gonna be sort of a tournament between ACJC or something. Hmmm, I'm not prepared you see. Hmmm, but I'll give me best, and enjoy the games and company of my fellow team mates. Hope the lanes aren't so difficult to play, and the people from AC playing on my pair of lanes aren't so good, so that I won't be pressured to my limits. Haha, and some people still thought bowling is an easy game. You're wrong! Seriously, it's really stressful and highly pressurising especially if you have to make an easy spare in order to win. I hope everything's gonna go right man.
I think I'll end here, hope my headache goes away COMPLETELY.
I really miss the times we've had,
both the joy and pain we've shared.
Unlikely you'll be back,
but I'll be like haystack,
waiting for the gorgeous stallion.

The headache is really bad, I swear I'll kill myself if this carries on for another week.

Grrr, damn, I feel kinda sick man, the medicine the doctor prescribed didn't work, crap shit. I've got headache, but only on my leftside. My mom brought me to the doctor and I got antibiotics. Hopefully I'll be able to recover soon. So... everything went pretty alright, until I after lunch when I took medicine. I forgot the medicine only taken twice a day, once in the morning and another at night, to suit my schedule during the school days, cause' I have only half an hour breaks on certain days, so I may not have time to eat and take my medicine. Hopefully taking the medicine within such short intervals won't have any side effects.
Ok, after reading the newspapers yesterday, I just realised Jeremy Fang had 2636 pinfalls, and kinda leading the pack. I was quite shocked, though I know he's a good bowler, but didn't know he's so good. BUT, I think he shouldn't drill people's balls with a stretched span even though he likes the feeling. So, anyway, I'm looking forward to the next time the results are posted.
This is a short post, since I don't have the mood to do anything. Hopefully I can do some tonight.

I'm back~! Once again. Just reached home after playing pool after eating after training.
So, anyway, training was pretty good. Uncle Henry splitted us into teams and we had a roll-off. Hmmm, I'm really glad Uncle Henry put me with Eu Dee, Nic and Jensen. Haha, it was pretty fun bowling with them. And so, we had 5 minutes of practise throws and it was on to the games. I started out with El-Nino Fatal, but, it's not reaching the pocket, which caused me to have a very bad second game of 114, cause' I'm not hitting the pin-10 and end up having several splits and difficult spares - so Uncle Henry told me to move inside. I changed my line from 10 - 7, to 15-12, and used SlayR. Voila, I found my line. The games after that were pretty alright, and I'm satisfied with them.
In the end I had a 185, 114, 169, 169, 160 which means I have an average of 159.4. Just 3 pins more! Damn! Anyway, it's over, and I should focus on the mistakes I made. Anyway, if not for the 114, let's say I have a 160, I would have a 168.6! Never mind, I shall learn from my mistakes. Anyway, I should not be focusing on my score, but the process. I really made a big mistake by being stubborn and continued using the El-Nino Fatal with the same line, I should have moved inside. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, cause' I hit most of my spares, except the spares in my second game. Due to the several splits, I was kinda panicking and end up being distracted instead of focusing of taking down the spare. I think I'd better build up my mental game.
Hmmm, it seems like Uncle Henry was not satisfied because of the 114. Hopefully, I'll still be able to bowl with Jensen, Nic and Eu Dee. I pray!
Anyway, I think I really lack confidence in myself, though Uncle Henry always told us to have confidence in ourselves and most importanly - be happy. I have to admit I can't help but to doubt myself sometimes, because of people who are really good in their games. However, I shall be a lil' more optimistic and positive. I must tell myself to be confident and convince myself that I can do it. I can do it! I can do it!
Haha, so anyway, I'm going off now, slack just a while and start my tutorials so I can spend a lil' time on my Preliminary Ideas for Project Work. Then, hopefully I can go bowling with Jensen on Monday since we end pretty early. Then I'll work on my follow-through and trail leg problem. Okay, shall update maybe next weekend. Oh yah, there'll be a few matches next week. Hope SA's soccer team beat AC and IJ! And also the basketball team! Up and on!
My torch is still burning brightly,
Your presence still lingers,
How I wish I can hold you tightly,
And never to let go of my fingers.

Alright, finally, I'm going to update with something not about bowling, and nothing about the life of a Saint(me).
And so, it was a usual morning, I woke up at 0550, washed up and left house for school. Nothing special happened, but as I was on the bus, I remembered the conversation with Wennee and reminisced about my youthful and passionate days with someone so dear, that letting go was like asking me to stop bowling. Anyway, I learnt to let go, and also learnt to live with less of her, but that took me more than 1 year.
Alright, side track, I don't remember how Wennee and I talked about her, but Wennee then wanted a photograph of her, so, I sent it to her. And after that, we were talking crap, when Wennee asked me why didn't I try again. This question she asked, sparked me to think on the bus this morning...
Well, I don't really know why didn't I try again. Firstly, it's not like Math, which allows me to try and try till I get the answer. And, secondly, I think I lack the courage and the self-esteem, cause' I've always thought I'm not worthy of her, and ended up being possessive. However, I've learnt a lesson, and like I always say, "It's alright to fail, as long as you learn from your mistake."
Anyway, if I ever try again, it won't be really beneficial because at that time, 'O'Levels were so near I could feel it, enough said. And if you ask why didn't I try after that? I can only say, I didn't have the courage, once again. Anyway, even if, a very big if, I succeed, JC life will be too hectic, and since I'm not academically inclined, I won't have enough time for tutorials, BOWLING, friends, PW(for first year) and more. So, I think, the lack of courage kinda' saved me from the trouble of picking pieces of my heart.
I'm really envious of people like Aaron Wee, my fellow senior from SAJC and pal from XsT, because he met a girl in secondary 2 if I'm not wrong, and they ARE still together right now, which is like 5 to 6 years? Anyway, Aaron, if you're reading this, I wish you all the best, and remember to invite the XsTs to your wedding dinner. :D
I managed to remember what I wanted to say from morning till now, haha, my memory is good eh? Anyway, I've to thank Wennee cause' without her, I won't be able to think of a topic not related directly to bowling and the life of a Saint; but thanks to her, I've lost some of my brain cells which could be used for the FM lectures this morning.
I would like to sign off with an important question I posted to myself in the bus, "When will the torch I'm carrying burn out?"
Tuckie Wuckie Duckie signing out. (Nigel always calls me that, haha. )

First things first, I'm down with a flu and to make things worse, a sore throat came along; together, the flu and sore throat form a powerful force of discomfort, and swallowing is really uncomfortable, irritating, uncomfortable, and ermmm, did I mention uncomfortable?
Alright, thankfully, training was good, other than the viruses causing a little discomfort. Hmmm, the conditions were great, light - medium oil, oiled to quite some length, probably 43 feet? Not really sure. But, it was not very bad, cause' I could find the pocket within the first 5 throws. :D Anyway, after the practise throws, Uncle Henry set different spare shots for us, and he set up a 4-7 spare shot on my pair of lanes. Guess what? I missed nothing, which means I hit everything. Haha, great satisfaction and also the accomplishment. After that, we moved to the pair of lanes to the right, with 6-10 spare shot. Pretty alright, I hit everything except 2 shots, I think, one was a 'chop' leaving pin-6 and the other was way off, probably 3 or 4 boards right, which means my ball ended up in the gutter. I think it ain't that bad. Hehe.
Alright, the next one was difficult, cause' we were supposed to hit a perfect pocket. The spare shot was 1-3-5-7 for the right-handers and 1-2-5-10 for the left-handers. I only got 1 perfect pocket, and a few cross pockets, others were really off. Hmmm, not good... but, I'll work hard, definitely. Next were buckets, 2-4-5-8. Hmmm, could convert it pretty often, ain't that bad. Hmmm, after that, time was up. Uncle Henry talked to us and we were dismissed.
After that had lunch, and played a few games with the MB gang, except ZX. Hmmm, wasn't very good, cause' I couldn't find the pocket, the lanes were quite toasted. Imagine, I played 20 - 15, and end up having a 1-2 pocket strike. The middle part of the lane which is supposed to be oilier, were really dry. After the first game, I decided to tame it down a little by opening up my pinky, which helped quite a bit. Thankfully.
We played till around 1500 hours, then I proceeded to collect my spare ball from Uncle Walter, since everyone wanted to stop already. Went home after that.
Great day man, couldn't ask for more. Hope everyone have a great week ahead!

Shit, training was pretty bad. I can't seem to hit my target. Sigh... don't want to talk about it anymore.
Anyway, I'm quite excited about Monday cause' I'll be wearing the nicely designed SA uniform. Hope Monday will be a great day.
Short post. Nothing much happened.
Friday, April 01, 2005
Alright, actually wanted to update sometime ago, but, was really too lazy. Lol.
Anyway, today, 1st of April, is April's Fools' Day, and definitely someone would play a prank on me, since I'm such an ever-trusting kid. Now, I'm going to tell you how I got tricked.
Early in the morning, at approximately 0608 hours, I received an SMS from my senior whom I shall not name. The SMS says, "Yo, can call me house room phone now at 62952944? My HP batt low. It's important.... about 'someone' the incident... I just decided to pon school today..." Alright, that's the end of the message. I was pretty shocked, and quickly jumped out of bed and dialled the number with my phone registered with a private number and to my surprise, no one picked it up. I smelled something fishy, and decided to use the phone which is not registered as private. A lady picked it up... "This is the STD control centre... for English press 1..." I was stunned. I felt like laughing, but my parents were sleeping, so, I kept quiet. Haha, this was a really great prank. I really have to admit. Haha.
Anyway, today was pretty alright. Had 2 hours of Physics revision lecture and trigo revision lecture. It was really refreshing. Luckily there are revision lectures man, if not, I'd probably die in the midst of all the new stuff I'm going to face. Thank god!
Alright, tomorrow is training, at Marina Superbowl. I really hope it's gonna be great. I hope it'll be as good as Wednesday or even better. I hit a 213 in the first game after all the drills, but it was a pity I couldn't complete second game.
Alright, had a great orientation last night, great music, great people, and the madness of all the Saints. Even had people crying. But, I really felt that it was a great pity my ex-class got separated. We were really close. I seriously couldn't bear to part with most of them, especially the guys. Anyway, Jun Zhe came back for the orientation finale. Haha. I was happy to see him, quite some time since I saw him. Hmmm, he was posted to AJ and he never fails to come back to SA with sorrows and agony. He told the few of us how AJ sucked and how he disliked it. I was quite surprised it was that bad. My brother told me I'll hate that place cause' I'm not a mugger, furthermore there isn't bowling. My brother said his friend went there and told him it's a muggers' world and I'll die there. And, true enough, Jun Zhe, my fellow chick-watcher, couldn't stand the "muggy" environment. He even told us that Jing Hui changed a lot ever since he went there. Jing Hui didn't do any work and just slept through the day, as stated by Jun Zhe.
Hmmm, even PITA got osctrasised by the muggers there. Even though I dislike him, but I really sympathise him, cause' PITA said that JZ was the only one who talked to him.
It seems like my fellow Saints are struggling and dying... but, I really hope they'll have the strength and power and overcome whatever difficulty they will face and endure for 2 years. Hmmm, many people say that if you have great company, 2 years will be short, but otherwise, it'll be 2 "long" years of torture.
Sympathies...
Sigh... I really miss the guys from S14. The song High by Lighthouse Family really reminds me of them. We were really so close... Sigh... I can only hope they can settle well where ever they go and that everything will go smoothly for them.
