Lunar Day!

So first of all,

HAPPY CHINESE/LUNAR NEW YEAR!
to my fellow Chinese buddies and to anyone out there celebrating this day.

Well, here in Singapore we brag about being all multi-racial and we preach about harmony between different races. Here's the thing, to be honest, i think the different races are just putting up with each other and trying very hard to tolerate each other. I mean look at any moment in your life, be it at work or at school or even in a public event, there would still be a line separating the diff races. Like for example in school, i've experienced a class where students speak chinese to each other discussing schoolwork and the surprising thing is that once they get going in mandarin, even lecturers would startspeaking in mandarin. Isn't that excluding the other races from benefiting from his explainations? It's not that the other races don't speak up about this. But it's freakin obvious. It's like we are staring at his face trying to decipher what he is saying. Shouldn't he pick up from our actions that we don't understand shit. Plus look at the indians here. Basically what i'm saying is racial harmony, to me is only based on the fact that we are able to tolerate each others crap. Thats all. Ok anyways. I have nothing against this. I'm just pointing it out. I mean i love the environment here. Ok so....

Anyways Happy Chinese New Year! My bro gave away his huge hamper to our neighbours cos the stuff in it is not HALAL. lol. There is like XO, wine and all those crap inside. So we gave it away and they were so happy to recieve that from us. Plus we are giving them a box of Ferreiro Roche. Kind aren't we. It's been like a culture man. We would exchange gifts on holidays like these.

Oooh. I found out something cool thats gonna happen on this lunar new year. A LUNAR ECLIPSE! Yes! A lunar eclipse on a lunar new year! Cool eh? If u dont believe me. CLICK THIS. Its from the NASA website on lunar new years of 2009. Check it out man. I dunno how visible the eclipse is gonna be from Singapore but im gonna check it out. Anyways peace! and may u have prosperity and longevity my fello family and frens! Haha i'm not chinese by the way. DUH!

Memories, I wish i had written more...

WOW!. Its 12:57 AM, Sunday and as i was surfing the Internet, guess what I've found. I stumbled across my old blog. The latest post was in 2004 when i just got promoted to sec 4. I am like WOW. This is precious stuff man. I read my blog entries and i somehow found them intriguing. The thing is i don't even remember the events that i wrote in there. Also, the blog made me realize that I'm starting to lose myself. I wished i would've written more back in the days just so i could catch up with my old self and eventually get to know myself a little bit more. What i used to be like.

From what i read, my perception of my old self was a person that has a lot to talk about, yet he keeps remains reticent about it. This solitary behavior sort of manifests and spreads like a plague from the inside and eventually, showing itself.

Well, if only i would have continued writing. It would've been interesting to see how my life progresses. Which i think has been stagnant for quite a while now. If u guys wanna catch a glimpse of my old self. Here is the link

When there is the good, there is always the bad. Sucks isn't it?

Ok. So, yesterday night, i was watching tv when my sister called to say that SHE JUST WON A NEW CANON IXUS 87oIS at her company dinner's lucky draw. Man, she had always wanted to get a new camera to replace our old sucky 4 megapixel one that has problems switching between video and camera mode. Thank god she got a new camera, a what's better is that its FREE! Yes! free! nada! She doesn't need to spend a single penny on it. Which is also good for me cos it means i might be getting more money from her. Muahahaha.

Well moving on, school is ending in 4 weeks and i'm stoked. But damn, it always has to suck in the last stretch. I have tonnes of reports to do. My cousin, taufik wanted to me tag along for his malaysia trip but i turned him down cos of this. Sucks but i gotta do what i gotta do. Its the final 100m of this freakin race i have to finish it. Regardless of wat timing i get, i'm gonna finish this.

Speaking of timings and finishing races, it reminds me of my terrible timing for my 2.4km run. Yes guys, its for my NAPFA test. I thought i did good but then came along the running track of death! Yes it destroyed everything. I had enough points to get gold even if i had a C for my 2.4 but i got an F. Wow. An F. A pathetic fkin F. Below is my NAPFA results. Click to view.
So i was contemplating on whether i should retake the test or should i resign to my fate of attending PTP in addition to BMT for NS. The thing is i have only 1 week to train and improve my timing. In the end i decided hey, i'd rather go for PTP cos it's gonna help me out a bit. I know i'm kinda out of shape for my running. So, i guess PTP it is then. So yeah, sucks to be me. At least for the 2.4 part.

Song that speaks my mind
