I realise there are bands/singers similar to Queen(Muse), Frank Sinatra(Buble) but no one tries to follow Elvis. Gg king of rock n roll.
Wow "Each time I find myself, flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race."
Frank Sinatra- That's life
That's life, that's what all the people say. You're riding high in April, Shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune, When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks, Stompin' on a dream But I don't let it, let it get me down, 'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a king. I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing: Each time I find myself, flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race.
That's life I tell ya, I can't deny it, I thought of quitting baby, But my heart just ain't gonna buy it. And if I didn't think it was worth one single try, I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, A poet, a pawn and a king. I've been up and down and over and out And I know one thing: Each time I find myself laying flat on my face, I just pick myself up and get back in the race

5 More days..Am i fully prepared? hmm tbh i wasn't really scared of prelims :/ then now i feel so scared and stuff like that. And i just got my enlistment date on 9 feb. Well, i rather be in the feb batch than the april batch! so i can come out earlier. Time really flies past so fast, i still remember when me and my teammates training so hard for nats, during the jan-april period, i did all my hw for the whole week on the weekend before the week began, and i still had h3 lesson after soccer training on sat. I cant believe i went through all that, God really gave me a lot of strength and helped me through those tough periods. So now im here, waiting to take the A levels :S hopefully all will go well. Feeling quite stressed over planning questions and obv econs too. Really worried :/

http://chronicle.com/article/What-Are-You-Going-to-Do-With/124651/ good article. what are ur thoughts? hmm
Some parts i took out "True self-esteem means recognizing, despite everything that your upbringing has trained you to believe about yourself, that the grades you get—and the awards, and the test scores, and the trophies, and the acceptance letters—are not what defines who you are.' 'Moral imagination is hard, and it's hard in a completely different way than the hard things you're used to doing. And not only that, it's not enough. If you're going to invent your own life, if you're going to be truly autonomous, you also need courage: moral courage. The courage to act on your values in the face of what everyone's going to say and do to try to make you change your mind. Because they're not going to like it. Morally courageous individuals tend to make the people around them very uncomfortable. They don't fit in with everybody else's ideas about the way the world is supposed to work, and still worse, they make them feel insecure about the choices that they themselves have made—or failed to make. People don't mind being in prison as long as no one else is free. But stage a jailbreak, and everybody else freaks out.' nice article imo

Went to school today for Gp consult. So walked the whole damn way towards the main gate :/ Was pespiring like some dog. Oh well the Gp consult was not so bad, Ms Seah helped us to improve on our essay pts, like totally a new area of thought, gonna have another one nxt mon. I was complaining to my friends i have no econs consult, then i wanted to tag along for my friend's consult. So my friend's teacher was walking with my teacher, then i went to ask her while my teacher was busy talking to some other guy, then she kept asking me why not ask my own teacher then i was like oppps. So i went to ask her then she said ok just drop her a email. Hmm wondering what should i do for econs consult... Then went to eat macs later, didnt expect to end up at macs sigh, but because of Fayaz, we had to eat macs :S Macs is really bad, i ate macs at like 12+ , and now 5 hours have past im still so full.

I realised i have been really slack these few days. Despite only have 2 weeks+, I have yet to finish revising my econs, i shall finish it today :S These few days, i also feel like my left ankle is gonna get sprained anytime, i have no idea why, maybe its due to my sleeping position. Sometimes when i walk it feels weird hmmm, hopefully it will recover soon, funny how i always get knee ankle problems only after i stopped exercising..

So today is the last day of school. Tbh i dont feel much about this school, but i really like the quality of notes we obtain, nah im not a mugger. I was thinking whether ill like this school after i leave, like how after i left sji, i felt something missing and realised it gave me a really well-rounded education. So maybe ill like this sch in the future? See how. Well the usual crap speech thing was boring, but the video made by the teachers are not bad really. After that had chem lessons :/ quite ok only 1 hour. So we went for class lunch afterwards at domino pizzas. not too bad an attendance, 18 ppl came. so it was quite successful. I realised i only started to bond with the class this year, as all of us grew increasingly dependent on each other in schoolwork n stuff. Yeah im glad we are quite close now after all the misunderstandings and stuff. And we passed around our class photos and ur friends will write a short note, really nice to see what ur classmates think of you. Besides that, i also got back my progress report today, it was really an encouragement, although i screwed my essays and obtain a D, i was still 63 percentile which means that im not too far behind and im able to catch up. What a good motivation for me to start econs now! not sure if going out to study at ite tmr, see how too.

Today 2 of my friends told me where they were posted to for army. One told me he got selected into commando, well it was surprising, and i kind of 'pangsehed' him cause i said i wanted to be a commando and i will be together with him, but in the end, afraid of injuries or getting ooc immediately after one made me decide to say nononoono all the way and i think i was quite rude :/ but im really glad i didnt get it, i went to check the ns web to confirm. hmm maybe im just a guy who doesnt want to take hardship, i seriously do not know how i go through canoeing training + soccer fitness training all these years. but yeah when the time comes for this fitness crap, i guess ill just do my best, because only when u train hard, u will improve much faster and the next time you run, it will be easier.
So another friend got into NDU, well he was being emo n stuff like that, and i was gloating like mad. but all in the fun anyway. hmm i guess all of us have different paths in life, i just want to be a normal person out of the limelight although it really feels good in the limelight.
Meanwhile, im just trying my best to study hard, in order not to let myself down. God will walk with me i know that

After a tired,long and useless day, i met an old friend at the bus stop. Didnt have contact with him after p6, but we still clicked. Its amazing how after a long day, someone suddenly appears in ur life to talk to u. In pri sch, we are part of the 5 who were selected as those who are good in academics and sports. Yeah so we organised some sports activities, and joined leadership camps. Then i suddenly thought how God made a nice path for my life. I used to be a table tennis capt in pri sch, well its a good exposure to sport, although its not really that that physical or tiring. I still remember i did only 2 inclined pullups in p5 and 10 in p6. while everyone else was doing 30+, it was kinda embarrassing but well, God helped me to join canoeing so i trained really hard although i pon the whole of last year, it really built up my strength and fitness. Then in jc, i joined soccer, it trained my core str, and now im ready for army. I guess no one will know i used to be so weak, 2,10 inclines? cant really imagine it. But really have to thank God that all has worked according to his will and that he had planned such a nice path for me. Look towards the future :)

Today my sunday school teacher told me more about the crucifixion of Christ on the cross. Yeah everyone knows hands will be nailed to the cross. So their weight causes them to 'sag', its hard to breathe, need to use legs to kick up to breathe. Then if they dont die before the sabbath, their legs will be broken so that they will suffocate even more and die quickly. So Christ died before the sabbath, and when they pierced his side, only water came out. This meant that all his blood has been shed for all of us. How amazing it is, our saviour who came down from heaven to be a man and dying on the cross for us all. We should be so thankful of him who saved us by his grace, for we are all sinners and do not deserve anything.

Hi peeps, went out to study today with jtan,vic,chongwee,rayson,edmund n jtan's friend. So it was the first time i stepped into ite college west, a really HUGE school. but since its a saturday, its relatively empty. We went to the food court to study, its a new school, so its really clean + the aircon is at full blast, was shivering the whole mugging session :S its quite a good place to study imo, cuz v few people, except during the lunch period. Hmm wouldnt say its VERY productive, but i did chem p2 p3 and 2 physics revision notes, quite ok i guess. then my friend asked me why am i not considering taking science in uni since my sciences are not that bad... and i did better in science than econs this prelim anyway. So i thought for a while, and didnt really know howto answer, hmm maybe i should consider taking a science subject in uni, no idea what to take also... well hopefully God tells me soon! meanwhile i really have to brush up on my GP and econs, A levels 1 month away! I will be ready :D

So my percentile will be quite good, this is really a good motivation for me as i've been feeling 'noob' for the past week. I finished watching Salt last night, its quite lame to me, quite a lame storyline, with a particular motive duh... yep and i have to finish writing my testimonial by mon, i guess im gonna start soon! need to think of crap to write for myself and and i think im gonna get a new pair of soccer boots after seeing boris' mercs today.

ONE SHOULD NEVER BE ARROGANT TO OTHERS BUT HIMSELF means don't show ur arrogance to everyone but its still good to feel arrogant cause with arrogance it can bring confidence but if u show ur arrogance -> complacency leads to underperformance cause u make others think highly about u which makes u think that u are much better than u actually are thus not working hard for it aye thus one should always remain humble and work hard to achieve your goals and not take it for granted

People often say that confidence is very important when encountering anything, but is it really good or does it lead to complacency?? I got back my econs results today, not sure whether its complacency or what, i guess i really went OOP for 2 essays :S so i failed both. I mean like how can u fail an essay? If u meet the essay req and write like shit, u'll still be able to get at least a pass. So if i obtained 1 mark from anywhere, i will get a B grade. Now are grades really that impt? if i get a 59 or 60, is it really so different? not really different but u can really use the grade to boast... well i guess the most impt thing now is to learn from my mistakes in this exam and not make the same ones in A levels. + What Mr Lim said really scared me. he said that the stream classes didn't perform well last year for As, and he guessed its because schools' prelim papers are more focused on application while A levels give away free marks in terms of definitions where most of us will not even bother to memorise. Its time to do tys :D
Back to the topic of confidence, i was telling my soccer capt the other day im so fired up to play this snr jnr match i've been waiting for so long. and it seems as though i have all the confidence in the world now, to play my role as a centreback. Speaking about this, i first got my centreback role in a match against some aussie school, well it was my first experience as a centreback then we lost 3-0. I didnt really want to be one but its the coach's decision by switching me to that position from right back or left back. I asked engping why? He said im very disciplined and calm. hmm but just to let u know, my headers are extremely weak, so playing me as a centreback is risky! ok so up to 4 games before nats, i got scolded during every halftime/full time team talk by the coach. Even during the first game in the nats, the coach said i played like a 'barbie doll', i told some of my teammates i didnt agree, maybe they agreed with me because they wanted to give me confidence. BUT after playing 4 games consec with scoldings, not just normal ones but quite harsh, my gameplay changed. I became very cautious, not the hard tackler i was, and not the guy with plenty of slides, and my heading just got worser and worser. Thus i conclude confidence is very important, i need confidence to do anything, but where will that source come from? I have to constantly look to God and during this last period i need to build up my confidence which has been shattered by this prelims or tys whatever, and move forward to tackle this A levels. Well i hope i can do it, no i mean i will.
