teachers' day

Saturday, August 30, 2008

went back to zhonghua with the zhonghuarians in SA after the teachers' day celebration in SA
when i was back in school, i realised that i really really miss that place

'it is only when you lost it, then you will chirish it"

totally agree
saw Miss Tan Seow Lan and other teachers that taught me yesterday
these are the teacehrs that will really stand by you no matter what
i guess secondary school teachers are closer to their students
unlike in JC although we spend more time in JC
took class photos together with miss tan and she was still using those "when i count to 5 ah" tone
haha
oh yar and when youwen saw me the first word she say is like 'eh you bastard. your cert is still with me!'

i saw alot of friends that had pei me through the 4 years in NP too
there Clement(and he had become like bodybuilder man), Samuel Tan, Jia Jia and more
and i was shocked by the number of turnout yesterday
i think MOST of last year's batch turn out

after that i went opposite to eat with wallace ruihong minthu junhao and zhen wei
alothough it is nothing much but i miss how so many people will just go opposite after school to eat together
terence join us after that at mac where we see the jeryl youwen wanchun and gloria
later we went to minthu house to play soccer and table tennis
went to eat dinner and talk a little at his void deck
wish i could stay there longer
i think we all wish to

really really miss them and that i wish we will go back to last time
hope we can meet up at least once a year or something
don want the friendship to just fade away with the years

wah really really happy yesterday!
you all make my day!

SAFRA Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon

Sunday, August 24, 2008

woah
woke up super early to go for the SAFRA Singapore Bay Run & Army Half Marathon
cause i lived quite far. but i saw alot of people in the train ready to go already! amazing huh
met in city hall with all the rest of the ODAC people
we all changed into our yellow tees
haha
quite nice...i like!!



next we went to the start point where mr liang looked after our bags
but i think we quite EVIL huh
make him stay there to look after our bag so letting him miss the chance of running the race

anyway Zhong Han and i wanted to squeeze all the way to the front but to no avail
the race already started
but anyhow
the place was super packed with like OCS, commandos, navy and alot alot of ns man
so we have to like "navigate" our way through the crowd which is not a very good thing
cause you need to think then need to slow down
nevermind, so we ran and we ran and we ran and we ran but still it is like 5 km ONLY!
turn around and the championchip register our timing
this is the map

mine is the 10Km one which is indicated by the green route
oh and i saw Miss Tan CI from Zhonghua
i also saw cheng zhong

oh yar so we ran and ran and ran
DRINK A CUP OF WATER
and continue to run and run and run
we both though we are near the finishing line already so Zhong Han sprint ahead
in my super tired state i couldn't catch up with him so i continue with my own pace
in the end when i finished i was like drunk already la
talking nonsense to people i know
then i went to take the BANANA and the 100 plus
still in my "drunk" state i went to meet mr liang with a lost rock climber
took super long to find cause i am in my "drunk" state
so we took out our championchip to redeem our finisher medal
then came back to saw a few people
wanted to go find Zhong Han but he is nowhere in sight

so help the ODAC-ers take a carton of drinks back to the meeting place
where i saw Zhong Han there
found out he almost faint at the 9Km point
HAHHAHAAHAHHA!
chiong la chiong la
in the end he was brought to the finishing line by a medic
hahahah!

so we took alot of pictures infront of the esplanade cause the road is close for the run
for the first time we can really say "why are you standing in the middle of the road?"
haha

oh a HEAVIER not,
i should really start studying for PROMOS
MSA and all

PW project work magic group

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

first,
this are the people that had worked with me over this past MONTH for my group's PW pilot study
lets name them, clockwise from top left hand corner, my fellow group mate, Wen Yuan, Yingwei with his "eh you want to fight isit?" face, Me, and Kenny the Imba with 75 points in CT
then there is Asry the shy kid we are working with, Alicia the in charge of YDC and Faizal another kid that we have worked with over this month.


My project is about Magic le!
How can i miss the fun and not performing on the streets!
this is me and asry performing the classic cups and balls with the Penn & Teller twist
but for ours we added another twist, that is both person talked through the routine and the final load is 3 tomatoes!



look at the number of people that we have attract to look at our duo street routine act
it is amazing even for me never had expected so many to watch
in the end we hace collected VIRTUAL "S$145 dollars"

this is Wen Yuan partnering with Asry to perform the Cups & Balls routine
it is amazing and we can really see the tranformation of Asry from a shy quiet boy to a boy that knows how to communicate what he wants
that is the impact we want to see done in out project

positive impact to HUMAN's lives

This is Derek and his track friend watching intensely at the kids performing MAGIC
THANKS for supporting my group pilot study MAN!

Faizal performing "sponge rabbit" routine infront of the "HOUSE Bunny" poster FUNNY funny

it has reached the end of the pilot study
really hope that the 2 boys learned something from us and that they could bring something home with them in the end and continue to apply it in their life
I know my group has definately learned alot from them
one thing for sure, i have definately learned alot from them, being able to stand in front of so many in Orchard is not easy it is SUPER HARD
i myself is fumbling not to say them at such a young age, it is really an EYE opener for me!
and i realised Singaporean are generally "generous"

10KM

Wednesday, August 13, 2008

just finished a 10KM run outside of school with ODAC-ers
we ran from the white bridge to the end of bishan park one
IT IS SUPER DUPER FAR!
before that we ran the 8.8KM i though that that one is really long but this time
the 10KM was much shorter than i have expected
maybe it is because i ran with Dutt beside me

when i was running the 8.8KM when Dutt and Amanda overtake me
i was like super no contented
cause how can i LOSE to a girl?
so i charged to overtake them
then they overtake me again
then i charge again
this continue for around 3 times and i eventually gave up

but this time, when i was running
though they overtake me i look to them less of my competitors but more of a
how do i put it?
my target?
yar i think so
now even though they overtake me
i no longer charge to overtake them but i pace them
try to keep as close a distance as possible
i think this change of mindset really benefitted me
cause this time i ran at my peak performance
meaning for the whole route i gave it my all
i didn't slow down consciously
i keep thinking " hey Keng Chong, you didn't start the race to stop halfway OKAY!"
so then i push and push and push
and Dutt really encourage me alot la
though halfway i wanted to go toilet and he is very hungry
haha

in the end i ran 10KM just under one hour!
i ran it in 59 mins!
yeah it is an achievement to me

after the run we have a "meeting"
hope the ODAC-ers can understand why we wanted to do this
"IT IS ALL FOR YOUR OWN GOOD"

looking forward to the study sessions though

NATIONAL DAY

Friday, August 08, 2008

today is the eve of national day
this is what i feel toward the nation's birthday
tomorrow everyone in Singapore will be celebrating Singapore's 43rd birthday
we have all heard the stories about how Singapore came along way from a small fishing village to a metropolitan now
we even sing about it during the national day period "...we won't make it, but we did...but we did..."
people even go to an extent to show their patriotism by putting the national flag on their car top so they can show it off
and i am proud to say that i am proud to lived in Singapore
and i am very fortunate to be born and lived in Singapore
thats why i always sang the national anthem proudly and take the pledge seriously

but this is the part where i am very confused
everyday during the assembly while i am singing the national anthem, i can see that not everyone is like me
not even half the population
i dare say not even 60% of the population sing the anthem
what is this?
is it because they are foreigner?
i didnt know my school have that much foreigners
or isit because they think it is "cool" not to sing the anthem?
then shame on them you cannot even be proud about who you are where you come from. i think in the future they will become those people that migrate to other country to be their "2nd grade citizen" abandoning their "1st grade citizen" rights in Singapore
you think this is cool?
i don't think so

then what isit that when everyone is singing the national day song then they start opening their mouth?
isit because it is only when all the cool dudes do it then you all are willing to sing along?
you are not even proud to sing the national anthem everyday. then you might just as well not sing thos "hip popular" song today too.

call me traditional call me conservative.
but thats who i am.

17.3

Sunday, August 03, 2008

17.3 for GP
i don know how much must i get for Promos to pass this subject
i wanted to work hard for it but i don't know how to
it is not as if i can keep doing tys sums and memorise the answers like physic or chem
it is not like i can keep doing and doing until i got it like in mathematics
it is not like chinese where i can do it cause i come from a chinese-speaking family

and i thought by writing a blog can help my English improve
i guess i was wrong
i can stil make elementary mistakes like "Everyone were"
i cannot even speak goos English to start with
please correct my english when you hear me say something wrong
my grammer is lousy
my vocabulary is lousy
my AQ is lousy
my comprehension is lousy
my composition is lousy
what am i good at then?

should i get a tuition teacher?
but everyone says a GP tuition has not much use
i wanted to get a physic tuition but after my PW pilot
which have lots and lots of cock up
here there EVERYWHERE!
coach having urgent matters at home
the timing for training is not right
is tricks we are teaching them may be too difficult to comprehand
they could do the tricks but not up to standard
if we were to push then into the deep end out into the street they will just die
either exposing all the tricks or freeze in their performance
i can only hope they have really gone home to practice

pilot project is taking up too much
i am worrying about it everyday everytime

CCA wise i think we still have lots to settle within ourself and alot more room for improvement.

as for the other subjects i didnt score satisfactory grades either they are all below C except for chinese and maths

need to work hard. work very hard.
