My story Book

hey guys. Sorry, have been busy lately. doing stuff, assignments, tests.. didn't really have enough time to post something up. anyways, i'm here now. :D

First of all, Fifa WORLD CUP 2010 has been quite disappointing thus far. Only Germany have shown somewhat of a world class pedigree as they beat Australia 4-0. The rest have really been boring and even Spain lost to Switzerland!! and to think I had predicted a 3-0 or 4-0. 2nd round of matches start later, let's hope for something better this time. SOUTH AFRICA FTW! :)

i've got another 2 days of college before holidays start. Hmm... should we have a CG outing this saturday? oh and I'm heading off to Singapore for a few days with me high school mates. It's been quite some time since we've got together, so I think it'll be great. I think Joy and whoever else helped did an awesome job planning. These are the kinda people you would really want in a team project and whatnot. Though, Kai xiang can't be able to make it :( sucks

Oh and i can drive already. Did i tell you? well, only around KK for now but thats good enough. Hopefully I'll be able to drive out further soon :) give me a holler if you need a ride :P

i've been watching some sentimental videos lately. Then I thought to myself... maybe in say.... 10-15 years time, when i'm somewhere in another country (probably europe).. at a countryside town with some friends sitting in this field of yellow flowers and the wind breezes through our faces accompanied by the warmth the sun knows only.. that I might think and look back at all the wonderful memories life has given me in the past. Flashbacks you know.. somehow I have this vision that it will happen one day. kinda like the video "Wake me when September ends".

Wouldn't that just be an awesome moment? when the world around you just stops for a period of time where you can just appreciate life as it should be, watching the happy and memorable images pass by. It is after all your own personal story book that you and probably God knows every single detail of it. ahhh, how soothing that'll be :)

So yeah, i'm writing my book as i'm writing this post too. hahaha, it really gives you a wake up call as to what you're doing with life. You don't wanna turn 80 one day and look back at a scarred or scribbled page in your book. No regrets! That's what I need to live for. Maybe you should too.

need to get back on track with life. i'm 18 for heaven's sake.. should enjoy as an 18 year old while i still can :D it's 28 minutes past 1am now. Been like that lately, not good for health. so i guess i'll see y'all again.. hopefully sometime soon :)

till the next one peeps..

NERDS here i come!

yo wassup.. okay i've had my last day of fun today. It's time to start the transition into nerd mode starting tomorrow. I reviewed my study hours for the past month or so.. it's been an average of 0 and 1 hour per week... gahhhh!!! this sucks. I feel guilty. Ever felt that? When you play and go out, having fun.. a part of you just tells you "HEY THAT JUST ABOUT ENOUGH!".

So yeah, I'm having that life revelation now. I recently scored a 3.8 outta 5 for this ridiculous math assignment that I could've easily scored the full 5 had I not done it half-awake. grrrr, didn't occur to me while I was doing it that it was worth the 5 marks. must've slipped my mind. From now on, I ain't going to give away any more free marks.

Topic tests are coming up. I'm going for the 10% for math. I'ma make sure this semester math score's above 90. English above 85% and macro econs above 80%. Malaysian studies is a different story. hahaha, yeah history is quite boring. But I think they're only having the interesting parts and its in english so it isn't too bad. I'm gunning for a 90% for that too.

As you can see, i've set my standards. Have you for yours? if you haven't then it's about time you do. Or else what's the point of you studying? You need a goal!

Away from the nerdiness.. Stosur lost the final x(
Oh well, Nadal still to win tomorrow's men singles against Soderling xD

Hmmm... recent rocking songs in my playlists..

IYAZ - SOLO
EMINEM - Not Afraid
Hayley ft. eminem and BoB - Airplanes
Mizz Nina ft. Colby O'Donis - What'cha waitin' for

A whole new world

hi there. yeah, you. Well, first things first... I passed my driving exam xD how cool is that huh? scored a 17/20. haha, i don't really care bout the score.. as long as i passed it.

This means, i'm a legal driver. Might be getting a car, dunno when though. For now, i'm just practicing with parents before they actually allow me to drive on my own. I wonder how long that'll be? how long was yours? haha

Oh and what kinda spoiled my day was that my SPM remark results were back.. after sooo long. It turns out everything remained the same, "KEKAL" as it was written. Oh well, i guess maybe I had too high an expectation. It was worth the try ;)

Just finished 2nd last practice for CES CHOIR. the shirt provided isn't too bad. A lil' baggy (according to some) but over all okay. We sounded pretty good upon recording. haha, it was like we had our own studio. pretty cool. I can't wait for next week!!

Speaking of next week, someone mentioned South Africa during practice today. haha, it's gonna be a FOOTBALL FRENZY soon. Just another week! HOLLAND and ARGENTINA!! ALL THE WAY BABY!!

oh and federer is outta FRENCH OPEN. That leaves NADAL as the favourite.. haha, another GS title in the bag RAFA. Oh and I'm supporting Stosur in the women's draw. she's quite good xD

college has been good to me lately. Starting to express myself more. Knowing lots more people. Then again there's this side of me i'm trying to get rid of. The loud talkative side. The boastfulness at times. Gahhh, sometimes it comes out naturally before I can even control it and that's what hurt the most. Do you have something similar? Something about you you just really want outta your system. Gosh, it's about time I start to grow up. Russel Peters once said, "be a man! Do the right thing!". haha or should the honour go to the chinese dude who said it? :P

anyways, been sleeping very late these past week or so. Friends and I having some fun on9 till late nights which isn't very good for health. tsk tsk, those of you staying up till 1am or so and with school the next morning should really kick the habit now :)

so yeah, it's 12.39am now. haha, i'd best go to sleep. talk to y'all again soon.. good nightss

hey there... attended a party the other day. They played this song... and it's been ringing in my head non-stop. It's an awesome song! makes you really wanna go party and move around. I think I might just go for another party one last time before I go "nerd" mode 100% xD

here's the song! ENJOY!!
