Then again, maybe I should. :D Coz tmr's English exam!

But dun worry, I'll keep this short. I try. :P

Well, tmr's English exam. My promotion to JC will be banked on this 1 out of 8 subjects tmr. I've never really been that good in English, but I'll try. I'll try, I'll try. ;)

And partly that's why I'm here practising XD, although it can be argued that English can't really study 1! :P Still, good to know a few words here or two.

And also, I'm going back to my usual way of preparing for English...LISTENING SONGS!!! Dunnid ask why le ba? xD

I think I'm going for an inspection more than an exam, coz instead of mugging my heads off today, till now I've only went to cut my hair, and cut my own nails!!! O.O Hahax the hair cutting part is not only b'coz my hair was quite long already, but also because according to a friend, it frees up space for more thinking. Uhh...

less hair = less heat trapped in head = more thinking space???!

Where the logic came from, I don't even think he knows. Superstitious maybe. :P No harm cutting anyway. ;)

Good luck to RV whose starting their exams tmr too, and everyone else in the same plight! ;)

As for me, whatever happens in my exams and after it, I have no hold to it. What I can say though, is that I can be proud of what I've done before it. I can confidently say that I have never worked so hard in my life, albeit to the extent of falling sick more often this year. :S

But whatever the result, at least I know I have peaked at the right time, and I have not let myself down before the exam. ;) Do what your heart guides you to. That, is what will bring me the distance. :D

I hope it does for all others taking O's, PSLE or EOYs too.

LIFE GOES ON.

Just nice, end of September. Perfect song fr d end of this month. :D

See? Short right?

How the time passed away,

All the trouble that we gave

And all those days we spend out by the lake

Of all the things I still remember, summer's never looked the same

In the middle of September, we'd still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now on how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

Now it all seems so clear

So we made our way by finding what was real

Now the days are so long

That summer's moving on

We reach for something that's already gone, yea

Of all the things I still remember, summer's never looked the same

The years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

In the middle of September, we'd still play out in the rain

Reflecting now on how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

Yea, We knew we had to leave this town (knew we had to leave this town)

But we never knew when, and we never knew how

We would end up here, the way we are

Yea, we knew we had to leave this town (knew we had to leave this town)

But we never knew when, and we never knew how

Never knew how

17:01

Yunjin's tag got me thinking again. And once again, dat mini tagboard wun hav enuf space 2 contain wad I'm gng 2 reply. XD

You have a really good point there, Yunjin. Choy dat she's gone luh, but the question is: Will I dare to go for it? If you do, and she's not, you know, dat into you, den u'll be lyk THE LAUGHING STOCK. XD Of course, there's always the flipside that if you do and she is, den good for you. You're off 2 something. 1st move 1st move!!!~

Besides, I don't think guys nowadays only know 1 girl in their lives, rite? Same here! So when all seems 2 be nice to you, how do you know which is called friendship, which is more than dat?

Or mebbe it's juz b'coz all seems 2 be nice to you, dat's y i've nt experienced THAT feeling. Probably~

Question is: Just how much of 'nice' equates to the 'liking'?

Another point to...point out...is that you have to ask yourself. What is it in you that you can give to your other party? This is one thing I srsly don't know...

I really shouldn't be thinking about all this, eh? Even to me, it's kinda weird that all these thoughts actually pop out at this point of time. O.O

Notice that almost 96% of the songs I always put after each blogpost HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH the POST ITSELF. The reason's coz it's just another way which I feel is best in expressing my emotions at that point of time.

This one's no different.

But this is one of those songs that I think should have been a poem instead of a song. XD The tune's so-so, but the lyrics is reli an exquisite piece.

Oh and changed blogsong!!! I shall take my words back about Daughtry's new album being nt nice, but I don't take back my words about it nt able 2 eclipse 1st album. :P :P :P Still, this is an awesome awesome song. The guitar, the clear soulful voice, the lyrics. I know at least 2 ppl lyk this song. XD Another reason y I chose dis, is coz it's September, and I wanna let everyone know that 'the years go by and time just seems to fly, but the memories remain', and 'reflecting now on how things could've been, it was worth it in the end'.

Kris Allen has a new single!!! It's called Live Like We're Dying, originally done by another of my favourite artist, The Script!!! :D :D :D Heard they also writing new material luh ;) But even as a Kris Allen fan, I have to say, it sounds seriously TOO SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL! >.<

After listening to The Script's original version, I realised Kris Allen's voice is very similar to dat of Danny, lead singer of The Script. I expected a different version from Kris, 2 b honest. A little disappointed, but nonetheless, a great song. ;) And since it was originally done by The Script, credit should be given to my no. 2 favourite band in the world. ;)

I wish, the best, for you,

Aloovi the Alv

How long, can we, wait here

to say, goodbye?

Back, to where, we were

Before, things, got in, the way

You

Me

Why

can't we see, that there's

Sometimes you're closer when you're, letting go

I wish, the best, for you

I wish, the best

For you

We'll both, regret, the hurtin'

That we, will do

13:52

I'm a reli weird person 1. I gain self confidence by being honest to myself, coz I believe that being true to myself means I know my weakness(es). By doing so, I can work my weakness to a strength, or use my strength to overshadow/mask that weakness. ;) ~Aloovi's Principle~ :D

Away from that, I think things in this world can just happen in the blink of an eye. Woosh, and it's here. Woosh, and it's gone again. So we should cherish every moment we have now, instead of fretting over what's gonna happen in the future.

Things also happen without you knowing. It can be good, it can be hurting, but at least it frees you from all that guessing and speculation.

Thanks, stupid rain, for making me play 20 minutes of tennis den stop. Dark clouds for 1 hour, then drizzle very lightly, then suddenly poured mercilessly. Argh! But on the bright side, I played pool and cards, and studied Chem in d evening too. ;)

Oh still, I was surprised 2 see a particular sum1 in training today. I thought she was confined home? XD

Thanks to pool, I learnt to steady my hand and go for a shot like there's no tomorrow. Hahax but we were almost putting tape on our eyelids when the girls tried pool. They almost took more than an hour. Nevertheless, given it's 1st time, good try good try! ;) Practice makes perfect anw. :D After EOYs ba~ :D :D :D

In other news, I seriously think relationship is not the thing for me now. I really just wanna get 2 expand my scope of friends 1st, take it a step at a time, and see what happens from there. It takes both sides to reli wanna be in it to actually call it a relationship. Consensus, yea? So relationships now? I'll leave it open for opinions. :D

Besides, who knows? Mebbe lightning will strike a change. I'm still holding on, hoping. ;)

Or mebbe it's here already, juz dat either I duno wad the feeling is, I duno where's it coming from, or I'm plain emotionless. -.- That's why, I'm not smart enuf 2 noe dat. :P

Come to think of it, mebbe I'm juz trying 2 avoid it at all cost. But then I have 2 ask myself, is my reason reli juz coz studies is more important now? Hmm...

Ideal girl trait no. 12 (12 already?!): Outgoing personality. xD

I duno where I heard this before, but it says that a relationship is true only if it manages to pass the 100 day mark.

I tink i'm just gonna wait for dat 1st day 1st. XD

On another note, jia yous to a fwen about to make this reli a 'CHANGE' season, and well wishes to 2 who suddenly shocked mi. XD Hush hush~ ;)

Oh and congratz to another fwen who's gonna join the next SPEX tournament. :D C'mon! xD

I don't wanna be in love (yet),

Aloovi the Alv

(I duno how many ppl actually knew d song below seh :P, listen 91.3 n u would hav...BLG feat. Taylor Swift!!! :D :D :D)

[Martin Johnson, lead singer of BLG]

I remember what you wore on the first day

Coz everything you do, and words you say

And now, I'm left with nothing.

[Both]

So maybe it's true, that I can't live without you

Maybe two, is better than one

And you've already got me coming undone

[Taylor]

I remember every look upon your face,

[Martin]

The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste

[Both]

Coz when I close my eyes and drift away,

And finally now, we're leaving

23:33

I ain't smart.

And in this school I'm in, it's really hard for me. The pressure's sinking in now.

Which explains why I haven't been posting these few days. Sry! :S I think i'll b posting very sparingly for the next 3 weeks or so, and you all know why. Hope y'all understand. :D

Darren Fletcher, you are an inspiration. Even though you might not know me, you taught me much.

In summary, you taught me, that effort comes 1st before talent, because even if you do not have the talent, you can put in the effort and run your socks off, then build on improving your passes.

Fletcher, I salute you!

The same applies to studying. Effort 1st, result later then worry. :D

I think I should point out that a certain friend also made me realise this too. DSA ain't everything. Even with DSA, you should still work hard for your exams. Take it up as a challenge with a backing. :D Thank you! :D

Moving away from the exams, changed blogsong! :D I mean this song has everything, a dance-y beat, powerful vocals, a sexy lady, and even nice lyrics. ;)

I mean just listen. It has violins at the start, followed by an infectious beat. Then it moves into its dance-y agenda, still retaining the violins. The deep bass then comes in to give it an even more dance-y infectious ooomph to the song. xD Sounds of keyboards then come in, Not forgetting, competing the beautiful melodious vocals!!! :D Gosh this song's making me wanna get on my feet!!! XD

Oh and thanks for 1 fwen for liking the song. ;) At least that's 2 ppl who give the song a thumbs up. :D

If I don't tell you who she is, you might just think she's Leona Lewis. SHE'S NOT!!! XD

Yes, I muz admit she sounds a little like Leona (my can both hit those high notes effortlessly!), and even looks like her o.o, but she's Agnes Carlsson, from Sweden. Mononymously known on stage as, simply, Agnes, this song is really making waves in the UK and (of course) Sweden.

For me, It's the song of 2009 until now.

omg she's hot!!! So love her looks, she's like ideal seh! The beautiful facial features, not too skinny, just nice skin tone. I think the only downside is she has a certain 'proud' attitude, or mebbe it's juz in d video. XD

Oh uhh I shall add on to the ideal girl tingy I said in my previous post. I also:

1. Don't want girls to be too 'white'. It's good to have a little tan colour, but it should come naturally from my ideal girl loving the outdoors as much as I do ;), and also her loving sports as much as I do. ;)

2. Hair-wise, I hate long straight hair!!! I think girls look pretty scary dat way. :S And somehow, girls like to play with their hair a lot if they're long. -.- Hence, either shorter (length till tip of shoulder) straight hair, or curly hair like Agnes and Leona Lewis. :D If not, tie up the long hair! :D

Until next time when I think of more. :P

Oh but uhh I still tink Leona looks better than her, and more Leona music will b lovable than Agnes. Still, a great song. ;)

Release, me

Release, my body

I know, it's wrong

I say release, me

Cause I'm, not able to

Convince myself, that I'm better off without you.

Yea it's perfectly clear, that love's not what, you need

And I don't recognise, what I've turned into

Coz I don't need the heartbreak

(I don't know what, addictive hold)

You have on me, I can't shake, no

I'm not in control, so let me go

13:58

I was right, and wrong.

My stay in the competition ended today. Why? Coz nothing worked out as perfectly as it did yesterday. :(

I lost to my own confidence, lost to my own self.

I DEFINITELY COULD HAVE DONE BETTER. haiz~

Still, I think it's a great experience, and I'll learn from it. ;)

I shall just sleep it through, and get back on the court to work on improving myself tmr, while it's still fresh in my mind. I CAN DO IT! :D

For the record, I nid to work on my 2nd serve, and definitely my confidence (which means the follow through, the focus, etc.) -.-

Oh and I tink I shall juz announce this to all in tennis, and all other fwenz who wanna noe...

I DO NOT WANNA JOIN ANOTHER SPEX/PESTA SUKAN ever again.

It's not entirely about the competition. It's more of an individual opinion. I think spending $50+ dollars to play singles & doubles is reli not worth my money, time and effort if i'm juz gonna treat tennis as a recreational sport. (though yes, I wanna do it well as a recreational :D) I mean, it's not lyk I'm seriously thinking about going pro, rite? So the time you put into the preparation for one competition, might as well concentrate it on your studies, rite?

It's recreational, so I guess I'll just stick to joining smaller competitions like fun doubles, etc. I think that's about the furthest I'll go, because the money is hard-earned money from my parents, the time and effort for the preparation should be used in more appropriate areas like my studies. Well thought-out, eh? :D

Nevertheless, I'll never forget d experience of nerve-wrecking games. Luv the challenge brought up by it, and hopefully I'll learn 2 thrive even more under pressure. C: (sorry ar kop yr smile :P)

Off from tennis, we went 2 eat at IMM after our thrashing by 2 ang-moh doubles. -.- Reli long distance walk seh...summore we played tennis before dat. Tired!!!

After almost 25 mins, we finally reached there. Quickly we decided to eat Macs. (duno y also -.-)

Hahax but the fun part came when we were chatting after finish eating.

Seriously now I can't even rmb what we started chatting from. But I know we reached a point where we were saying Wesley's ideal girl. Super funny! To keep this short and concise, here's a summary of wad we talked about.

Wesley's ideal girl must be thin waist, not too fat, not too skinny, well-mannered and not ah-lian. Hahax then we started questioning that, coz u imagine ar...thin waist but muz b of normal size. So the bottom half muz b skinny, then the top half muz b wide?! Like wide shoulders or sumting....HAHAX weird seh!!! LOOKS LIKE MAN!!! XD (Oh and wesley mentioned something bout 2 ppl frm tennis. Enuf said. xD)

We then asked Wesley to give sum examples frm d ppl we see at IMM while sitting at macs, and in the end we went around IMM looking at 'potentials'. XD We even went in2 Giant supermarket leh! (coz finding well-mannered 1s mah = filial) His favourite pastime activity. WAHAHA

Oh and for the record, he rates IMM 2 stars out of a possible 5, coz it took us d laz 5 mins to actually find decent 1s. Others all either too sluttish, or too ah-lian. :P Vivo gets 4 out of 5, according to him. Eh Wesley, Tampines got 3 malls side-by-side leh, ever considered there?

Come to think of it, since you so want that cooking course at Temasek Poly, mebbe it's the perfect time to change house leh. Got 'extra incentives', eh? XD

But that got me thinking about myself leh. What is my ideal girl?

I think a lot of people reli reli wants 2 know this from me. Well, here goes nothing. :D

My ideal girl ar? Must have:

1. Filial (top of the list!)

2. Sympathetic towards the less unfortunate (I reli want to be able to do community work together and stuff ;) )

3. Fun :D

4. No over-confidence behaviour. (Jokingly ego is different from over-confidence behaviour for those who needs clarification :D)

K lar, can't be all innate onli, rite? As humans, we muz hav sum aim for the external, rite? (although srsly, I dun tink it matters as much as the innate to me leh. o.o)

So uhh, as for external beauty:

1. Not too skinny (i think they look reli scary wen too boney :S)

2. Not too fat (no comments!)

3. A face that always keeps that beautiful smile.

4. Girl-next-door looks

This shouldn't be just it. There should be more, something in me tells me there's some more!!!

Oh I also want her to share the same interests with me, like tennis.

Why? Because I want to share my every great moment with her, enjoying it together. ;)

Daughtry's still my all-time favourite band, and will always be, so hopefully my ideal girl will luv them 2 bits too? :D :D :D

You know, you always hear and see about love, that when you feel that sudden excitement and attraction to a certain somebody, that's love. I would juz like to set it straight here for everyone to internalise. :D

Remember, that kind of feeling will never last forever. And I don't mean it being juz a crush only. I meant that even if you go on 2 marry this girl, you're gonna be living with her. That feeling will now go away, and it's back 2 the usual feeling. So think carefully before making a decision. Yea ;)

My dad says a guy should get married around 28-32 years old. I beg 2 differ. Age isn't the matter, it's about the right one coming in. But just don't wait till too old, if not can't have kids!

I want kids! Babies are the cutest things the world has came up with, so yea. Enough said again. xD

Speaking of which, another reason why I suddenly decided 2 come out and say this, is because my dad (who juz turned 50) made a wish---to have more than just my mum and dad, me and my 2 brothers on his 60th!!! -.-

Nice try, dad. Uhh I'll try? No promises though :P

Somehow, a part of me tells me I want to make his wish come true.

Let's just wait and see what comes our way ba. As a relatively less-confident person, I know I probably wun hav dat much courage as a lot of my other fwenz do to ask girls out. But who ever said it has to be one way, rite? :D

I think for my case it'll be the other way lor, but the thing is, will there be dat way?

All in all, "what goes around, comes around."

Peace!

Waiting for the right one,

Aloovi the Alv

I wouldn't leave you

Coz you're that type of girl, to make me stay

(I see the guys tryna holla, girl I don't wanna bother you)

Coz you're independent and you got my attention

(Can I, be your baby father? Girl, I just wanna show you)

That I love what you are doin'

I see you in the club

You gettin' down girl, I wanna get with you, yea

I see you in the club

You showin' thugs love, I wanna get with you

You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful

Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful

You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

You're so beautiful

drift me away, far away (yea)

And like the sun you,

brighten the day, you brighten my day (yea)

I never wanna see you (cry, cry, cry)

And I never wanna tell a (lie, lie, lie)

Said I never wanna see you (cry, cry, cry)

And I never wanna tell her (lie, lie, lies)

23:28

You don't need huge thumping shots that drive down the line. Main thing is 2 put the ball in. One more ball in the court, one more chance for a point.

Also, you nid d confidence there. Coz with confidence, your firm grip, your follow through, etc all falls into place nicely. Fearless! :P (taylor's suddenly became everyone's best fwen now xD)

Music definitely helped me calmed my nerves and build up my confidence prior to the match. ;)

Oh but confidence has loopholes. You muz know how much is not 'over-confidence'. Also, confidence doesn't mean you try shots that are too ambitious and not within your ability. Unless you're winning by a mile. :P Stick to your principles of keeping the ball in. That's more important. 80% consistency, 20% skill. (right now, 80%'s enough. ;))

Then there's also the determination there. In a match, it's all about how much you wan those points. I can say I wanted d 3 points more than my opponent, coz I kept telling myself that during the match. :P

Yay I won 1st round singles 9-5 on my 1st time taking part (in singles). Not very convincingly. I broke my opponent's service game twice, then I allowed him 2 break back twice. Still, enuf 2 make it, by breaking another 2 more of his service game. :D

Oh and I muz applaud myself for not being affected by what happened before my singles match. The man in charge of the draws for the day asked me to go call my opponent, which obviously I went so as to get my match settled. Feeling pumped up. :P After calling him and we both made our way to the in-charge man. Anyone with a brain would know that I'm the one without a bag, so I have 2 go get it 1st. Pearce and Brian were taking care of it for me (thanks btw), so of course we'll do a mini-chat and good luck fisting. Then this in-charge go start the briefing without me. -.- When I did went over, I went "huh? what did I miss?", and this in-charge tell me "well, you wanna have your fun with your friends juz now, so don't blame me for you not hearing what I said." >.<

WTH lar! Can't wait a bit more ar? People do you favour of walking 2 call opponent leh, can't even be a bit more gracious a host to wait ar? Some people are juz impatient. I totally heck care him after that. I take it on account that you're coach's friend, then I don't take this incident to heart. If not, ...~stern stares~ (like trying 2 scare a little kitten seh XD)

Back to my tennis, I still don't feel my 1st serve being up 2 the mark yet. Working on it. ;)

Strokes are getting much much MUCH BETTER. And after my match, we went 2 SPGG to 'train' and juz practise. I muz say,

I'VE NEVER PLAYED ANY BETTER IN MY LIFE!!!

That felt reli nice 2 say. A great sense of achievement. :D I followed through, I focused, I gripped firmly. I even kept my feet as rooted to the ground as possible, so that I can allow my knees to bend and spin those low shots. I cannot ask for more from myself, 2 b honest.

Thank you to myself.

Seriously, if I can keep this consistent, I might juz stay on in the competition fr a little longer than I expected. ;)

And I think I will.

One match, one game, one point at a time! :D :D :D

Good luck 2 myself for my 2nd round singles and doubles tmr. :D

Living the moment,

Aloovi the Alv :D

Exorcise the demon, that is living up inside you

After, all you think you've been through,

Try to get beside yourself, this tearing at your insides

If you, end up on the wrong side,

Sharpen up, your teeth, your dreams are more than worth defending

In a, fight that's never ending

Go on,

23:34

Let's start with this.

Happy 1-day-late bday to Mr Vincent Tan, my chem teacher!

Happy bday Johnathan, tennis pal!

But most importantly,

HAPPY 1-DAY-LATE BDAY, PAPA!!! :D :D :D

We went some Brazilian Restaurant ytd to celebrate it. It's at 6th Avenue Street (Bukit Timah area). Buffet restaurant. Reli nice ;)

The serving style is reli unique. You take your own vege, but the meat will be served by their so called 'meat donators'. xD So obviously my youngest brother would love this place, coz he won't take any vege!!! XD

I duno if you'll have been served this way, but we're being served meat on swords!!! Hahax you know, those where they smoke the entire meat and poke it to a sword, then go around slicing a piece of meat out if you want. Oh and for the record, the meat served include chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and so on, so on, so on. (and there are also weird parts like chicken hearts >.<)

And to make a few people happy, I shall say I'm very stupid, coz the donators with swords (so ironic, don't you think?) kept on streaming over asking, "_____, you want?" And I kept on going, "yea ok", then "thanks", leading to my entire plate filling up with a mountain of meat! Some are nice, some I duno how 2 appreciate. But it's because of so many food on my plate, that caused mi 2 not know which is nice, so duno wad 2 take for 2nd serving.

But then again, I'm not stupid. :P Coz that means I can eat a few at a tym at 2nd serving. Dat's the purpose of buffet rite? Eat eat eat! :D With planning, with planning! ;)

Never before tried Brazilian cuisine, but glad we had a change from the usual Japanese, International, Chinese buffet. Not that they're not nice, juz can get sianx if it's always the same few. :P

And I can tell you, once you enter that restaurant, you might juz wanna turn vegetarian after that. XD That's how much meat there is. Service there also very nice, so I shall give it 4.5/5. :D

Then we went home for bday cake. Everyone couldn't eat anymore, 2 b honest. so we had 2 cut it in2 reli reli mini pieces, 2 show respect to our dad. 50 years old luh!!! Half a century gone, how about a few more? :D :D :D

Hahax you know, since it's a da4 shou4, mum and I were thinking if we couldn't find 1 restaurant for buffet (which my dad loves a lot albeit it being ex), we should give dad red eggs!!! (some chinese culture tingy, for those who duno) WAHAHA...old liaox mah, still young enuf for cakes meh? XD

omg I haven even shown you all the cake. Chosen by my mum, and to a smaller extent, me. :P

btw it's in chinese coz my dad speaks mostly chinese than english. Easier for him, the now-old man. XD

Moving on, I bring the focus back to me.

I have made up my mind. 3 words, "let it be".

And to a friend, liking someone means you're willing to spend the rest of your life with her. So you should be honest to her, and tell her everything. Coz can you hide the truth from her forever? No.

Again, it's about choices. It takes 2 hands to clap. If she likes you, you like her, fair enuf 2 me. She's truthful to you, you should too. ;) Ultimately, your choice. Think about it. ;)

(I think i sounded vry cheem there~ xD) Speaking in metaphors again seh mi. :P

Is it really worth chasing a lost cause?

Someone help mi answer dat, please?

Moving on,

Aloovi the Alv :D

(song dedicated below~)

Remember all the things we wanted

Now all our memories they're haunted

Even with our fists held high

It never would've worked out right

We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn, out I,

didn't come here to hold, you now I can't stop

I want you to know,

That it doesn't matter, where we take this road

And I want you to know,

But I know that you'll find another

That doesn't always make you want to cry

Started with a perfect kiss then,

we could feel the poison set in

Perfect couldn't keep this love alive

10:36

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY!!!

I've given my gifts ytd already, hope the teachers like it. :D Not much, but at least it's appreciation to them. Not bad hor, teachers get 2 birthdays every year. Lucky lucky~

But the cliche sentence from them would be, "the best gift would be your good results."

-.- Not that we duno. -.-

And let's face it, most of us give gifts coz we wan them 2 understand our real intentions--that is, during EOYs, PLEASE MARK MORE LENIENTLY!!! XD

Now back to me.

I played better tenis ytd. I still have to work on my forehand, it doesnt seem smooth yet. :S Another to work on is my 2nd serve, coz at our level, we don't reli hav as high a 1st serve % as Mr Andy Roddick, rite? xD Power serves are good, but difficult 2 kip consistent. ;)

I fell ytd, leaving deep cuts near my left wrist and knee. :( Still, I continued playing on till Ben came back to play wiv Ashley. Then Ben twisted his ankle. Cursed court leh, Court 1. -.- I muz commend on my own resilience 2 continue keeping my mind on tennis despite the injury, and still continuing after washing my wound. Planted 2 plasters and I'm back on the court. Yay 2 mi! :D Nevertheless, hopefully the injury heals before SPEX starts for me.

Speaking of which, my SPEX competition next week is much better than the previous SPEX in April. The draw was much more kind to me. For singles, I have to win 2 matches 1st before I meet a seeded player (that is, if he wins his own matches. xD). As for doubles, I have 2 win my match with Nick against 2 ang mohs, then play 7th seed. -.-

Oh my singles is on Monday 1pm, and doubles is on Tuesday, 4pm. Wish me luck! :D

However, I'm still really afraid of my strings snapping :S Which brings me to ponder again. Is it reli worth using superspin strings? At the rate my strings are lasting, I think I can use all that money 2 buy a brand new (sub) racket!!!

Moving away from tennis, someone's making me vry envious of class tee. I've never had a class tee, or any tee specially made. Pity.

Mebbe 4E1 will have 1, i hope?

Well, my bday coincides with end of EOYs, rite? xD

Oh and last but not least, congratz on sumbody getting in2 NYGH nxt year. ;)

Not bad hor, u make mi envious, then make mi proud. And now make mi poorer. xD Owe you starbucks! ;)

But i dun mind. It's worth it. :D

The salesgirl proves her worth, so the product muz do her part and reward her wiv..."Employee Of The Month"! :P Gratz gratz gratz.

Peace!

Healing,

Aloovi the Alv

The loudest thing in my head

And I ache to remember

All the violent, sweet

If I could walk on water

If I could tell you what's next
