Went swimming. And for some unknown reasons, I feel hot all over my body now! Sengkang swimming complex is super-hot, the sun have even warmed the water. I feel it's worth the money, only 80cents. But we need to pay for the locker and wasted another 80cents. Transport wise, it's much more expensive. Money-face huh?
The LRT is really confusing. I did take it once with my seniors for badminton training there but I ended up going rounds and rounds today. The pronunciation for the stations are about the same and I really feel they should hire more fluent and able speaker. Rengjong and Ranngong, Kangkar and TongKar. Similar words too? Feel so bad for wasting my friend's time and most importantly, Brian's time. He didn't go swimming in the end... Too bad. There will be a chance next time!
The slides in Sengkang sports hall are over-whelming. We tried it several times and still didn't get bored of it. Cool. We tried the most intense ride which is the enclosed and long slide down. It's dark, fast and slow at times, engulfed by the sudden splash of water which kinda paralysed you for one moment. You will be thrown down and overcomed by the brightness and plunged into the shallow water 1.2m and it will take some time for you to regain your consicous after being kind of swallowed by the sudden huge splash. The impact will unbutton and messed up your swimming costume(For me la). Also, the impact of the splash for some big-sized people will make a big splash even out of the water. I witnessed that scene and it was CLASSICAL. But it will leave another craving and temptation for us to try the slide out again.
It will be highly recommended for you guys instead of the ususal boring HOUGANG SWIMMING COMPLEX which ought to be demolished with the new Sengkang complex which is opened only just slightly more than a year ago. Compared to Wild wild wet, they are almost at the same level. So why pay $15+ instead of a mere 80cents?

Confession of my deepest secrets
Happy 14th birthday! Say bye to Secondary2 and hello to secondary3! It was a pity that not much of my close friends will be able to go to 3Respect. I guess I will be VERY lonely during the first day of school? Huh. Don't worry, be happy!
I am not one who bow to circumstances, I believe that I will make much more new friends in Secondary3. And that e-mail makes me so motivated. I am gonna work REAL hard to get into Catholic Junior College. I really regretted not getting into triple science. Though I think I stand a great chance as my science is A2. Ms Tan even said I stand an awesome chance and was even selected for the science competition. Unfortunately, I rejected both opportunities. Regret. I am not afraid of pressure. I just wanna go to a same class with my close friends. That scene was still vividly carved in my mind, I seems to lost interest in my studies during the weeks before exams. I don't see any motivation for me to work hard. My close friends aren't working hard. Their targets are non-ambitious, aiming to go into double science. Under the influence of peer pressure, I followed their expectations and targets. I convinced myself that 3Humility was too pressurizing, too many subjects too handle, etc. Reasons were blindly weaved up in my head. But coming to this stage, I realized I have made a REAL wrong decision in life.
All my efforts of wanting to go to the same class have came to naught in the end. Not only did I not end up with my close friends, I ended up losing out. Triple science are really so sought after! And now, I had that chance to go into that class but I put it as my third choice. I shouldn't have just followed the crowd blindly. It's a regret that I will remember throughout my life. But learning from this lesson, I will work harder towards CJC. Learning from this incident, I will advice my juniors not to follow others blindly and stand up for your own decision! Kenneth Siew(My old classmate) went into triple science class(probational class) and even aims to go into Raffles Junior College and be a doctor who earns big bucks. So who am I to go into the second best class in a mediocore school? He is in a prestigious school and even aims to go to the cream-of-the-crop, the tops of the tops. I will not be relavant to compare with Kenneth then. Who will I be in the cruel society?
I celebrated with my family for my birthday with a cake. Normal routine, nothing special. nothing unique. I was really grateful. I thought my parents had forgotten about my birthday. I didn't remind them cause if I did, the celebration would be fruitless. And how could we blame them, they had three children... My eldest brother send a sms to inform my mother to get me a cake. I was really thankful. I didn't do much for this brother of mine. I was overcome with guilt. I am not a good brother, I know...... From 20thNovember onwards, I will work harder to make up for all the wrong things I have done. Can I? Will I?
My heartfelt words that have long been buried yet confessed upon today...

Appreciation
Thanks for all the greetings in Facebook. Thanks for the wishings in my blog. Thanks for all the greetings through Msn, sms, etc. And thanks for the cute little present, will be very much appreciated. Lastly, thanks for that letter! (E-mail)
I really thought that he have forgotten what I did for his birthday. Through the course of the day, no sms-s were sent, no greetings were received. I really did thought for one second that he is sucha ungrateful person. But I have made such a huge mistake! I have FINALLY received the present that I was soooo looking forward to. That e-mail.
Reply: Hey, many thanks for the letter. Very much appreciated! And I still do vividly remember the days of our Primary School. These memories will always be buried deep in my heart, always and forever! I realized with disappointment that Takewondo is really not my passion. And it's a REAL pity that we would not be able to use this rare opportunity to get-together. Lastly, thanks for this 'surprise' letter that I had never expected. And I will indeed put in more effort next year for your birthday! Be mentally prepared to take more surprises! It is indeed the thought that counts.
The bear was a little too childish for me. 14years old already yet that bear made me reciminised my childhood days. Thanks for that present though I have never given you any presents during your birthday. Guilt filled to the brim of my heart! Nevertheless, you will get your present this coming August!

2012- The end of world?
Watched 2012 at AMK hub. It was a great show. I recommend you guys to watch. A Must-Watch! The show started at 5.10 and ended around 7.50pm. And I arrived home for my dinner at around 9pm. It's my very first time arriving home at this time with my friends. I seldom hang out with friends till so late and it was a fun filled experience. I really appreciate this. Took the new Circle Line home. It was dark and creepy on my way back home! Will post more later after coming back from gym with Jun Hong and Yavinesh.

Hi people. I would like to elaborate on an incident that happened in my condominium, Evergreen Park, reading room. It is a place where I would be leaving soon, yet a pity, it has to leave me such bad memories. I was reading the newspapers, deep in thought and this man in his 50s came in abruptly. I had two Chinese newspapers in my hand and 1 of it, I left on the sofa. Noticing that there are no available seats as another 1 had been occupied by a lady whom may be his wife, I picked up the newspapers from the sofa out of consideration and kept it on my lap. That man, taking that ''I-know-it-all'' attitude confronted me boldly ''You don't seems so polite you know? Can I have that newspaper? You can read two of them together ah? I practically threw at him the newspapers. I stared at him with anger in retaliation and continued ignoring him. Retarded dog barking, I continued reading my newspapers ignoring his childish immature act. I hate his SMART ALACK attitude.
After finishing reading the papers, I am so glad to leave the room, the silence is unbearable. And I hope I don't get to see him again. Else, he will take his ''smart-alack'' attitude and complain to my parents.
Yesterday swimming and gym trip was okay. Swimming was boring but I did managed to catch up with Jun Hong. It has been a long time since we last met and now each of us seems to have reservations talking our heart out. We didn't managed to talk about everything under the sun, compared to last time, in our primary school days, things have taken a turn. Then, we headed over to the gym. I thought the towel was 20cents but surprisingly it turns out to be $1. Thanks Jun hong for the towel and shoes! Though that towel was as long as a tablecloth and putting it around my neck was as if decorating a table. It was real colourful man! And the gym was crowded and there are so many big-sized people there, I looked real small and tiny there. And good news is that, we will be going to the gym every single week. Huh, maybe we could go back to the past where we could share everything together!!!

Monday and Tuesday was Great. Pleasure. Monday went out with Santhosh to Plaza Sing. We visited the arcade and wasted money there again. We went to Mac to have some snacks and won a apple pie. I ate it. He wanted to slim down. We bought the set and paid for ourselves. And Santhosh tried to deny it. He only wanted the drink which costs 1.95. He only paid 50cents. So he should be returning me $1.45. But in the end, he dennied it, saying that I took the free apple pie, hence its unfair. So he DIE-DIE dont wanna pay me. But he still ate one of my chicken wings and he said it himself that he dont like apple pie. Damm, I should have taped down that conversation. We argued quite a bit but managed to slove our differences in the MRT.
We went to CR house to do our HIGHER Chinese project. With YF, YC. Kenneth didn't make it in the end. He gave excuses. Wonder if he is really sick? But I am a very naive person, I will trust him, I will. And as expected, we ended up doing nothing, much. We only typed out the 50 good phrases. We actually did write the meaning, but someone accidentally close it without saving. He was in a state of panic when CR came back in as we were intruding in his privacy. BOOMZ, and there goes our efforts, I mean YC and CR efforts as only they typed out the meaning,. We were slacking. And YC became very happy, of no reasons at all and started throwing the soft toy at me and blah. You guys wouldn't wanna know. Its disgraceful. And we headed of to Compass Point, YC bought a cake. A fake cake. Which you could squeeze, smell, but not EAT. However, he wanted to trick his mother into eating the cake. Ah, god knows what happen. Did his mother bite the cake unknowingly? You will have to ask him.
And today, I am finally going to have a chance to exercise. After being a couch potato for more than three months, this opportunity comes as a relief to me. I had not been exercising before exams and after exams and till now(Holidays). I am extremely looking forward to this trip. As I can swim, after not swimming for ages. I miss the carefree feeling in the water. . .
