Main problem = Consistency

Branches --- Mentality, Strokes, Accuracy

Positives = Speed + Service + Agility + Reaction + Stamina + Drop Shots + Spin :D

Hence, I so have to work on my Consistency. Once that solves, everything else will come into place. I don't believe I can't be consistent in both my service and strokes...

Oh I just realised today is the Nike Human Race, and Boys Like Girls are in Singapore now! Again, I can't go. :( But this time is I lazy go. hehe...

And one last thing, I don't think I can send Julian off today liaox...So I guess I shall just say Adios, Julian here! Have an enjoyable journey ahead! ;)

On Friday, I went back primary school to look for I-DON'T-KNOW-WHO. So many teachers left our school, that I could only manage to see my PRIMARY 2 teacher. So long ago eh? Talked a lot to her, then became my usual quiet self. Afterwards, I went out to eat lunch with hmm long list, which includes, Yun Jin, Zhi Jun, Kah Eng, Jia Jun, Miao Xiang, Bev n Sam. I totally am not the gossip type. Totally don't talk much at all. Shy, I say?

At around 3.30, I left them to go Bugis to makan with the BSC (Beijing Satellite Campus) people, who are those HCI friends of mine who went Beijing for 2 months this year, and my Australian friend who was also with us at Beijing. Sam, he's 20+. Don't really think u'll be interested if he's so much older than you. xD

My Australian friend, the 2 teachers Ms Cheong and Mr Tan, and some BSC students went off to Swensens first. I waited for the others to arrive at the station. Then came the interesting part.(which means all said above are quite crap >.<) 

I hope he don't see this. He was super late, but when he came, our jaws dropped. He saw us from afar, and signalled to ask us to wait SOMEMORE! Why? 'Coz he had to send his girlfriend, who was beside him, off. -.- It wasn't just a 'wave goodbye' sending off, it was an affectionate hug! Contact-type, so of course our jaws dropped!!! Adding to that, he goes to the extent where got pinch cheek, touch waist!!! My gosh, we just looked away, but of course we were seeing what else can he come up with lor. Even when they had to 'part', they don't wanna let go lor, still locking tightly on each other's last tiny finger. -.-

Maybe you might find this quite common. Not really in HCI context actually. In fact, he's the first from HCI whom I've seen. And to think he's only Sec 3. Someone who doesn't know how to fold his blanket, change his bed sheet actually has a girlfriend??? Oh ya, he's the same dude whose girlfriend called a bakery to make an ICE-CREAM CAKE and asked them to SEND TO THE SCHOOL!!! Yes it was disgusting, but most importantly, to me, you can't even support yourself (and I mean earning your own money), you wanna support someone else? Good try, dude.

Don't worry, I'm not stopping you. Just think before you act! (hahax I sound like some advertisement) To me, moving into a relationship so early will not give you anything at all! Accompaniment? I rather TAKE A STEP BACK, treat all my friends from both genders as JUST FRIENDS. Then instead of getting 100% attention from 1 girl, I can get at least 5% attention from each of my friends. And I doubt you only hav 20 friends. BSC already got 15 of us liaox lor! XD 

Relationships? I'm still young, why use my time on these when I can be playing with my friends, helping people! I will wait. :D

Oh and did I mention she's 1 year older than him? Hahax but that's not important. As long as both love one another, age to me, as long as it's not too absurd, is not a problem at all. Let alone it being a year or so only...xD

Music playing (regarding the topic!): 

1) Find A Way by The Used

Your true love, believe

One more time to say 

I love you always
And keeping faith 

2)Dance Hall Drug by Boys Like Girls

All I'm saying is do you, do you want to lose it all?
'Cause this is more than just a dance hall drug
You can't wait to fall in love
All I'm saying is do you, do you want to learn to fly?
Then you should pack it up and say goodbye
'Cause when the push comes to the shove, it's just a dance hall drug

I started listening to albums after this hectic week, which means since yesterday. I first went to listen to The Script.

Conclusion for The Script's album, The Script: 4.5/5 ^^

Other than Rusty Halo, all the other songs are not bad. Great, in fact. Especially the lyrics...Anybody There is not bad, but Singapore don't have it, coz it's a Bonus Track. >.<

Recommends: We Cry, The Man Who Can't Be Moved, Before The Worst, Talk You Down, Breakeven, I'm Yours

Price: $16.95

Then I went on to listen to Boys Like Girls.

Conclusion for Boys Like Girls album, Boys Like Girls: 4.0+0.5/5 ^^

The songs are good, but songs like Learning To Fall, Me You and My Medication are so-so to me.:S Nevertheless, I like their musical style. So fits my 'freedom' category! :D

Recommends: The Great Escape, Hero/Heroine, On Top Of The World, Thunder, Five Minutes to Midnight, Dance Hall Drug

Price: $18.95 (Bonus track version, which includes 60 photos, Hero/Heroine (acoustic), videos and many more) --- Definitely worth the money!!!

Next came Jonas Brothers.

Conclusion for Jonas Brothers album, A Little Bit Longer: 3.5/5 (:

This album ar? Lemme put it this way. Its extra stuff like photos are more worth the money than its songs. Ironically, Lovebug sounds so different form the whole album, but it's still one of the better songs to me. And for many of the songs like Video Girl, BB Good and Shelf, I don't get the lyrics.

Recommends: Burnin' Up, Can't Have You, Sorry (part of music sounds a bit Chinese xD), A Little Bit Longer

Price: $18.95 (includes photos, etc)

14:25

1) Tomorrow slack!!!

(However, I think I'll be REALLY BORED tomorrow. Not playing bball, not doing anything else) :( and the school ruined it by saying we have to wear school uniform>.<...LAME!!!

2) Did great for NJRC presentation. Can say it's my best till date. Oh yea! (Although...a bit too much research done by me. 'Coz after presenting just 3 of the 5 main points, it's already 7 minutes, and the presentation is only 5 minutes long!)

3) The judges were really nice people! Still let us continue with our presentation and were keen to know about the great research I (I mean my group...) have done.

UNFORTUNATELY, nothing to do tml means I should be playing bball in school till I shuang. Haiz...so no life, eh?

Music playing: Hold On by Jonas Brothers

Cause an empty room, it can be so loud

There's too many tears, 

to drown them out so

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on

When you love someone

And they break your heart,

Have faith, restart! Just

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on

The New Paper also had a new look, Straits Times also had a new look. What's with the sudden new look in everyone?

Congratz to Jia Wei for getting no (which rhymes with GOLD) medal. My parents always thought that she is not really that good. Somehow, I think so too. Possibly her fame has gotten into her head liaox, so doesn't play that well at all. Feng Tian Wei is the real solid 1. A bit boyish look, but who cares? She is focused, and world no. 9 at only 21-year-old!!!

Even this individuals knockout round, I also believe, if the quaterfinals Feng Tian Wei didn't meet World No. 1 Zhang Yining, she might just have went on to win a bronze medal. Yes, I may just be guessing here, but comparing Li Jia Wei's and Feng Tian Wei's results against Zhang Yining (Li Jia Wei: 11-9, 8-11, 10-12, 11-8, 11-5... 

Feng Tian Wei: 11-13, 14-12, 12-14, 10-12, 11-13), ah it's obvious which 1 was a closer fight and who might just edge it in the bronze medal match. 

So step aside, there is a new heroine now. Remember the name, Feng Tian Wei. 

I watched USA's bball yesterday...not bad! And apparently, I think HANDBALL IS QUITE A COOL SPORT. I suddenly feel like learning it too. HAHAX...

Silvestre left Man Utd for Arsenal?! Sounds weird, totally weird. Nevertheless, I wish him all the best. (must be can't take the thought of playing backup liaox -.-)

Oh I came across this in class that day. Taken from 'Love is a Fallacy',

"If God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He can't be able to lift it?"

Think about it...

I should be rushing my lun4 wen2 now, but I'm doing this... >.<

14:24

Again got 36/40 for maths. Didn't do as well for IHE (Econs), but IHC paper Ms Sim purposely dodge our eager eyes, anticipating our papers...smart.

today's P'Day? Hahax to put it simply, Wendell is damn pissed with me 'coz I screwed the slides clicking. I can only say that "dude, you can't blame me. Don't even wanna show me (and Zi Kang) the ppt, so you can't really blame me. Too bad." Anyway, I'm fine with an A for P'Day, of course I won't resist an A*! XD

I think I narrow my choices to 3 other albums liaox.

--> tag to tell me which to choose! :D

Maybe Simple Plan's newest album also can, but it's like I have all the songs liaox, courtesy of Xin Yi, so not really a need to buy it? xD

Oh and I'm still thinking about Faber Drive's album, but anyone knows whether it's sold in Singapore?

22:31

After listening to the songs on youtube, I don't think the songs really appeals to me much. Sounds like they just wrote the songs for the sake of releasing this album. Unless there is some poster or something in the album, I will not buy the album. -.- Confirmed!

Apparently, The Script's album is out today...but is it out in Singapore? I really hope to buy it.

19:05

Coz I actually won one of the 'top seeds' in my tennis group by 4-1!!! (yes, it was only a game of 1st-to-4-sets) Never been happier. I've got my strokes almost there now.

However, every good thing in my life comes with something not so good. My usual service game is gone. :(

Now I need both! But coach told me something like this, "Dude, you're expecting too much from yourself at one time already. Now that you've gotten your strokes, just practise on it. At the same time, get your badminton serve. Slowly one step at a time."

Hahax I WILL REMEMBER! But to lubricate my 'badminton serve', I think that's gonna be quite diff, since I have not played badminton for almost a year!!!

WHO WANTS TO GO PLAY BADMINTON IN W'LANDS? AT MOST I SHARE COST TO BOOK COURTS... :D :D :D

Oh and I may go out study with Xin Yi and friends. XY wanna go? or anyone else interested?

Oh I somehow quite like d catchy tunes of Dance With Me by Dizzee Rascal. Roses by Meg & Dia is quite a nice song, given S'pore standard. XD

Jonas Brothers have a new single called A Little Bit Longer, which is the usual great!

And The Script is another great band too! Great lyrics in their songs...

Faber Drive...try listening to When I'm With You by Faber Drive ;)

Time to buy Jonas Brothers album! Next week supposedly out. YAY HOO!!! btw does anyone know whether The Script are releasing their album here in Singapore? :D

that's all, I guess~ :D (if anyone wanna play badminton in w'lands, tag 2 tell mi!!! xD)

Current music playing: Thunder by Boys Like Girls

Your voice, was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder and I said
Your eyes, are the brightest to all the colours
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder and I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring, on the rain
Oh baby bring, on the pain
And listen to the thunder
