Like they are gonna go.

2005-02-02T19:42:00.000+08:00

This morning, one of my school's library teacher-in-charge went up during assembly, with her bosoms seemingly defying gravity, and annouced that the school library had a brillant way for you to spend your pre-valentine's day afternoons. Simply pay seven dollars for a bear, and decorate it for your sweet valentine.

Well, honestly, no one would want to go to the school library, spend a hour or two of precious time to decorate a friggin' bear, in front of the ever-horrid Home Econs teacher or geeky unloved librarians(I know this, because I was one). And since the school administration is so hyped up with the branding Catholic High, i highly suspect these "7-dollars only" bears are probably going to be the Catholic High bears, and no, giving a "mini-bear" version of yourself isn't going to impress any girl.

What's more, when your valentine asks, "oh! how sweet of you to give me a mini cath high bear with a huge ribbon around it's neck that says Gentleman in the Making. So where did you get it?" I don't think there's much chance of developing the relationship further if you told her, "I got it for seven bucks and decorated it with the librarians in the school library last thursday."

The librarians are gonna expect no one there anyways, the "cool" people of Catholic High have too much pride to sit down in front of their friends and decorate bears for their valentine, male or female. Well, then again, there might be some people, those who are actually oblivious to any amount of insults and ridicule and those who will go and claim that they are decorating the bear for their sisters. ;/

Shit.

2005-02-01T23:22:00.000+08:00

I know you know. I know you trying to tell me, and I will deny. So keep it to yourself, and be happy to know.

NCS this saturday, must make it up to you guys.

On a sidenote, what's this recent obsession with punk rock, and local punk rock bands? Seriously, there's too small a target audience to sell albums to, and the only thing nice about these album to buy them for is their album cover design. Yes, I know it's cool to listen to these, but please. Stop flaunting your "punk rock" cds in my face.

Doh.

2005-01-29T01:07:00.000+08:00

Alas. Cath High lost both matches. I am truly sorry to those who came to support us, only to see us lose, especially the seniors, Gideon and Shaun Heng. Not all is lost, there are two more rounds. It's time to make some changes to the way I debate. Time to make sure we win.

p.s. U2 is pretty inspiring.

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

MUST GET OUT OF IT!!

Anticipation

2005-01-17T22:00:00.000+08:00

3 competition in 3 months. What more can I ask for, in my final year of debating? Winning all three of them of course. :D

Anyways, secondary four has not been that hectic as I would have imagined it to be, except for the occasional tests and the daily maths homework(which I surprisingly enjoy doing).

Stepping into the library today, made me realise how redundant the student librarians are. I cannot fathom why I decided to join that club 3 years ago, but I have slavaged my soul, and quit that useless CCA.

The student librarians are the ones who are breaking the rules. That totally destorys any sense of orderiness within the Library, albeit it's magnificent interior design and excellent leadership. In a word, those people are too immature to undertake any tasks that require more responsibility than shelving a book.

Pop songs from 2000 sound better than those in 2004.

Save Me - Hanson
Loving you,
Like I never have before.
And needing you,
Just to open up that door.
And begging you,
Might somehow turn the tides.
And tell me to, I’ve gotta get this off my mind.

I never thought I’d be speaking these words,
I never thought I’d need to say.
Another day alone is more than I can take.

(chorus)
Won’t you save me?
Savin’s what I need.
I just want to be,
By your side.
Won’t you save me?
I don’t wanna be.
Just drifting through this sea of life.

Want to. Listen please.
Baby, don’t walk out that door.
I’m on my knees.
You’re all I’m living for.
I never thought I’d be speaking these words,
Never thought I’d find a way.
Another day alone is more than I can take.

Suddenly the sky is falling
Could it be it’s too late for me?
And if I never said I’m sorry.
Well I’m wrong, yes I’m wrong.

Baby now you hear my spirit calling.
Wondering if she’s longing for me?
And then I know
That I can’t live without her.

Won't you save me?

Studious Kenneth

This Friday is the irrevocable "A Maths" test. Thus, the desperate me has come up with a master study plan.

Monday: ~~Simultatous Eqn./Remainder+Factor Theorem/Functions/Matrices~~
Tuesday: Indices/Surds/Logarithm
Wednesday: Quadratic Functions/Coordinate Geometry
Thursday: Trigonometry/A Maths Tuition Lesson

I have changed for the better. :D

Whoot.

2005-01-09T01:10:00.000+08:00

Indonesia 1 - 3 Singapore

Check out that scoreline. I think the Singapore team should just adopt one single strategy. Since we have quite a bit of trouble scoring proficently and looking classy while doing it, just take the ball, pass to Daniel Bennett, and let him whack the ball into goal. Keep trying throughout the game, those long balls will eventually go in. And maybe, the others can have tries too, so we can have no strikers, all the players should just train their volleys and ranged shots. Seriously though, the singapore team did really well, or rather, the Indonesians screwed themselves out of a win. If only they kept cool and defended better.

Whatever the case, had training at xander's place today. Pretty abrupt, only called the peeps yesterday night, but thankfully, all of them showed up. The competitions are coming up very soon, must work harder. AND, I have an A maths test to study for, but I am not doing it. My excuse?

I have no book, how?

So how?

2005-01-06T21:10:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday J.C.

School has been great. For the first time ever, I have done 3 consecutive Maths homeworks on my own! Great start to a great year. Speaking of which, the debate room is no longer just a kidnapper's den. It's a kidnapper's den with air-conditioning. Fortunately, they'll fix up the computers soon. 5 computers + Cath High Debaters = LAN Gaming.

Next Friday will be an A maths test, heard that if I were to fail it by more than 10 marks, I'll have to drop the subject. Plus, I had ting xie today. Still on the topic of a hectic week, NCS, JGs and SRJCs are on the way. About time we start preparation, it's the only 3 things I want to win before I leave Cath High. Don't want my secondary school life to be ended with a "What If".

But you just don't know.

Back To School

2005-01-03T23:11:00.000+08:00

It's a little surreal that we are the oldest in the school now and that we are secondary 4. What's not so surreal, but instead, daunting is the fact that we'll be starting to take the O levels in 5 months time.

I sense that school is going to be hectic this year, especially when all the teachers are suppose to finish all the syallables by April and start revision by 16th of April. Plus, what's in store during the March and June holidays will be a structured timetable worth of lessons. Sounds exciting, doesn't it.

Still, I think it's a good start to the year. The teachers that are teaching me this year, have been changed, for the better that is. My EL teacher came into class and instilled a certain level of confidence the first 50 minutes she spends with us, and I have a new History teacher by the name of Mr. Krishnan, working side by side with our dear Miss Krishnan to get our Pure History distinctions. The K&K connection, the Krishnans the nicknames are coming up already.

The plus point of the day was visiting the debate room, albiet not getting in. We have air-conditioning + wireless internet now. Speaking of which, sec ones and twos are using tablet PCs for lessons. Why wasn't I borned a year or two earlier? ^%&^%#^.

Empty.

Missed out on Wedding & LAN session. #$%%^$.

First day of the New Year marked my first ever b.net win(prior to this, i recorded 4 losses with the Humans), with my Orcish Horde, made up of Raiders and Grunts, I truimphed against a seasoned veteran(slightly more wins than me). Following that victory was another two victories. 3 wins in a row, then I lost two matches. ;/

School is about 30 hours away, homework still undone. They will probably stay undone, unless my teachers find some odd way that they can blackmail me with, since prelims no longer count for anything. Gonna go back as the oldest people in the school, weird. To think, only 3 years ago, I was an innocent 12 year old, stepping into a school and wondering why there are no girls. I even thought girls had a different registration date.

Look what environment can do to you.

First Thoughts in 2005

2004-12-31T23:58:00.000+08:00

- Taufik's MTV of "I Dream" has a setting that look suspiciously like a certain park in Singapore, coupled with poor cut scenes, mundane flashbacks of Idol episodes and non-existant scene transitions. Surely the Singapore Idol deserves an MTV better than this.

- Congratulations to Ben. I would have loved to be at the wedding ceremony, but parents are being stubborn.

- Ubiquitous means "Omnipotent, seemingly everywhere."

- I love my family.

- I have a soft side, wow. ;/

- Happy New Year Everyone!

Relevations

2004-12-31T22:24:00.000+08:00

I realised today that I have amazing patience. Shaun needs some lessons on punctuality and sense of purpose. He came with a wallet and his mobile for our "homework session" at Changi, that, as expected, came to nought.

Eventually, we headed down to Si Fei Zhu's place at Tampanies, which was an utter waste of time that involved activities that are too obsence to be written down.

However, in a hour before the New Year arrives, what I can tell you is that I have found my true self.

I am in fact, Alyssa Milano's left bosom.

And since the New Year is minutes away, me Kenneth The Left Bosom shall makes some resolutions.

- To be more firm and prominant.
- To use more chim words like ubiquitous.
- To find out what ubiquitous really means.
- To get myself into a junior college with 6 pts!!
- To keep my mouth shut
- To try and fufill these resolutions
- But procrastinate while I'm at it.
- To win JGs.

Happy New Year Everyone!

2005 here I come.

More and more.

"Millions homeless as tsunami toll nears 119,000, new quakes scare survivors

Up to five million people were displaced by tsunamis that killed nearly 119,000 people in Asia, officials said, as aftershocks rocked traumatised survivors."

As expected, numbers soar above 100k, and I think there are even more missing. I don't even want to look at the numbers anymore, it's wrong. Furthermore, diseases have not set in yet, more are going to die. Why must we end the year this way? I don't see how people can bring themselves to go and countdown to the new year.

What I learnt today

2004-12-30T21:49:00.000+08:00

Was out with the guys and went to the SN party today. And I learnt that;

- Kaleni is homosexual between 6 to 7 in the morning. I have a feeling that he experiences repulses when he sees Foofy.

- Samuel Cheam is not Thomas.

- Denial only enforces the wrong ideas that those people have in their heads. I do not like her ;/

- Comments can be taken all too seriously.

- Thinking a girl is cute means you are in love with her.

- Never say who you think is cute to others.

- Girls think the world is a Taiwanese Idol Drama.

- Ironically, Shaun was a sailer and he was an optimist.

- Shaun's definition of "sane" is inverse from what the norm is.

- Shaun is beatable in Warcraft 3, albeit needing four people to take him down.

- My mum can be bought over with free beehoon.

GOAL!

2004-12-29T22:39:00.000+08:00

73,000 and counting. I think the number will probably exceed 100,000 eventually. What a way to end the year.

Watched the "live" telecast of the Myanmar - Singapore match earlier, and I must say, the Singaporean players have improved alot since that 4-0 defeat to Malaysia. Never mind that the Singapore coaching staff were sent off to the dressing room or that they conceded 3 goals. The fact is, they won 4-3 and they have a great chance of getting into the finals.

Goh Tat Chuan did a spectacular job. Running up and down the pitch, one minute he's going for goal, the other he's busy clearing the ball in defense. Who says the chinese can't play soccer? They just need to pass more.

The Channel 5 commentary by "Bernard Lim" leaves alot to be desired. He kept repeating how many goals this guy or that guy scored in previous matches, and how "tough" the tackles were. I prefer the Spanish commentators. When a goal is scored, they just shout "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!" into their mics, unlike Bernard "Oh. It's a goal for Singapore!" Lim.

Oh well, what more can you ask for a "live" telecast that was only decided upon only yesterday? I should get cable.

More deaths

2004-12-28T23:44:00.000+08:00

Nature is all these things so beautiful and wonderful, but it can also wreck havoc upon the lands.

Just 24 hours ago, there were 23,400 deaths. Now, it has more than doubled, to 55,000. In Sri Lanka alone, there are 17,000 deaths. That's wrong.

I try hard to feel for this people who have died, but having been staying in the peaceful Garden City for the whole of my lifetime, I've never even been close to a natural disaster. It's hard to know how it feels for these people. And the only time I've been on an hospital bed, was when I was borned. Still, it's really saddening to see so many people die in a day. One moment you are happily treading in the clear waters of phuket, the second, you're dead.

How fragile life is.

In some other very contrasting news, I played 5 hours worth of LAN today. And the cute girl at the counter charged each of us 75cents more for no reason. Then, she was cute no more.

Good things come in FedEx Packages

2004-12-27T16:49:00.000+08:00

Indeed, it does. Look what came in the mail(or rather with FedEx Delivery man) today!

Autographed Michelle Branch photo, Jessica Harp's Preface and Michelle Branch's Broken Bracelet

I am pretty taken aback by the recent quake, without warning, more than 12,000 people just died. It is exactly because of this, that we should treasure our lives more and be happy that we live in an area that is "geographically safe". Fine, some of our holiday plans might be thwarted, but look at the bigger picture, you woke up alive today. We fuss over the materialistic things we get, like those CDs i just got, but we should just be happy that we are alive.

Mouth Wide Shut

2004-12-26T22:59:00.000+08:00

"Words Can Hurt More Than Sticks And Stones."

To sum it all up, I think I need to keep my mouth shut. In retrospect, I have said(and done) many things so insensitive and hurtful, though I have always told myself to be sensitive and all. Even Foofy said, "Those people who don't know you will really hate you la."

I've come to realise that I am might try to be nice to those whom i know, but yet to people I don't know or unfamiliar with, I am a complete ass. Worse still, sometimes, in the attempt to entertain others, I mistakenly hurt the feelings of those I've known.

So, this coming New Year, I shall keep in mind to shut the -peep- up and say things only after i meticulously process them through my mind. And to those, whom my words have hurt, I sincerely apologise. I am sorry.

But you know what?

"Words Can Heal."

And I will work towards that.

Happy Christmas

2004-12-25T22:47:00.000+08:00

I spent Christmas Day with a Bryan Wong, playing 2 hours worth of Xbox, paying 15 dollars in the process, as well as, spend 20 dollars on noodles. Can't wait for next year ;/

and look what i got myself for Christmas,

From right: Social Studies 4A/B, CL Workbook 4A/B, Textbook 4A/B; Cameo appearance by scissors and wrapping paper.

But on the bright side, I have decided to pay it forward, and for the first time in many many years, bought presents for others. Also, for the first time in many many years, I received a Christmas card, apart from those my pseudo insurance agent sends me. I really appreciate the card, especially the handwritten message. Thanks, you. :)

Also, according to the FedEx Super Tracker, my package(with Broken Bracelet in it) has arrived in Singapore, but it won't come to me till monday. FedEx apparantly don't work on Sundays. So much for "Federal Express". #^@&%.

The night before Christmas

2004-12-24T23:44:00.000+08:00

It's 15 minutes before Christmas, and I am surfing through Michelle Branch's boards. I think this holidays, her music really reflects how i feel. She's not an artist that I think is cute and have a catchy tune.

I decided to write down how I got in touch with her music in the first place, just in case I forget.

I feel in love with Michelle's music in 2001, when I saw the Everywhere MTV every saturday. I'd just wait till the weekly MTV countdown rerun we had on the free-to-air television to watch the video. That was when I went online.

As I found out more, I realised her music was not the only thing that was wonderful. Her personality, seen from interviews, interactions with fans was also exceptional. Her stories, her music appealed and applied to me. Somehow, her songs described how i felt. Then, I bought all her albums, singles, got all the posters i could.

Her music also guided me through bad times, cheered me up when i was down and more often then not, help put me to sleep. I think many feel the same way I do. And to quote Judou, This all happened because a girl in Arizona decided to pick up her guitar and sing.
So, this holidays, pick up a guitar, hum a tune or perharps sing a carol. And maybe, just maybe, you can touch someone's life too.
Merry Christmas Everyone.

Spirit of Giving

2004-12-23T22:46:00.000+08:00

So I'm a little left of center

I'm a little out of tune

Some say I'm paranormal

So I just bend their spoon

The moment I returned from my "escape from civilization", and checked my inbox, I found an e-mail labelled, "And the winner is....". I opened it to find the words, "EVERYONE!". Turns out, the organiser of a online contest I took part in decided to give everyone who didn't win, a prize. And the prize is none other than what everyone else was vying for in the competition, an out-of-production michelle branch indie album! Essentially, everyone was a winner. It's gonna arrive at my house all the way from California thru Fed-ex! Am really excited. I am sincerely thankful to this guy, Jim for making my christmas a good one even before it started.

And for the first time ever, I think I have to go do some christmas shopping. -glances at empty wallet-

In other news, resort camp was excellent fun. Especially the team talks and the countless spars we had, on the Xbox with Marvel Vs Capcom 2. Other highlights include the frozen underwear and HBO movie marathon, amongst many incidents that cast doubt over the sexuality of Cath High people.

Happy Christmas and Merry New Year people.

Whee

2004-12-20T23:36:00.000+08:00

I am all packed and ready to go. Everything has been taken care of, everything settled. And boy am I pleased with myself. And tommorow will be the start of a three-day relaxing debate-ish "holiday resort".

And due to my lack of activity before the year 2004, I did not get to catch Shrek initially when it came onto the cinemas, so when it came on TV last night, I sat my ass down in front of the television and watched it. It's good, especially comforting for a troll like me.

"Don't judge someone before you know them."

What will be will be

2004-12-19T17:20:00.000+08:00

Looks as seem for every problem there's will be a solution. The "Holiday Resort" dubbed by that certain someone, faced some funding problems. Since it's a "Holiday Resort", the school won't fund it, and if we want the school to sanction it, then we have to hold it in school and it must be a day camp. However, someone doesn't realise the significance of this "resort", it's bonding, between team mates, seniors and juniors and a way for us to relax and chill out, but at the same time, we have debates and training.

Since that certain someone deem the camp unworthy of Ministy funding, all of us will have to fork out some cash. Not that I am complaining but making the seniors pay too is sort of unfair, after all they already contributed to the school.

Also, problem two. With Xander, Junyi and Sowtan all out of town, we have no one above 21 to check in at the chalet. Fortunately, Joel's mum was kind enough to oblige and help to check in, as well as, help us pay the chalet thing up front, giving us time to consolidate all the money.

All in all, thanks to joel's mum and the seniors. i only have one thing to say to the upper management, #%&$^#^%@^#. ;/

I think my asscheeks are red

2004-12-17T23:50:00.000+08:00

because I've been in this chair for the past few hours.

After several games of Warcraft III, I spontanously decided to work out details for the debate camp next week. This is one of the things I am seriously looking forward to during the holidays. But i still can't fathom how we are gonna fit 20 over people into an average sized bungalow, maybe some people will have to sleep in the wilderness. heh.

On the other hand, I am sort of disappointed because, by going to the camp, I will be unable to salivate over my object of lust in a two-piece suit at a gathering held in Sentosa. Opportunity cost in action =/

13 days till the end of the exhilarating two-month break. My maths and -i think- english assignments are yet undone, I think I shall leave it till the last week and cram.

Perils of LAN gaming

2004-12-17T00:35:00.000+08:00

Today, I have suffered the full force of the LAN gaming disease. After watching Ocean 12, which by the way, was an excellent movie, i played 3 hours of LAN, followed by an hour rest then continued with another 3 hours of Xbox gaming. A total of 6 hours worth of gaming.

Every minute that I have my hands on the indifferent keyboard or the controller, I feel a little bit of my sanity fading into thin air.

Still, it's a great way to de-stress and spend a good quarter of your day doing. Unfortunately, my day ended on a poor note, with me returning home at 10+, and my parents nagging. My dad is still insistant that my lie that I was at a friend's birthday was untrue. Whatever happened to faith in your children?

Anyways, as I mentioned earlier, Ocean's 12 is an marvellous movie. The twist at the end was totally unexpected, don't want to spoil it for those people who haven't watch it yet. But here's a hint, watch out for a green haversack.

if you have no one to tell whatever to, i am here.

Day after Today

2004-12-15T22:56:00.000+08:00

I am sure looking towards tomorrow's outing. Gonna catch Ocean's 12 in the morning. Certain people have tried to cast doubt on the movie that is on my "Must-Watch" List. One notable critic was a man at the screening of Taxi at Marina GV.

Man: -points at trailer of Ocean's 12- OCEAN ELEVEN MAH BO HO KWAH(was not good too)!"

But anyways, Singapore strolled past Cambodia earlier today. Though I fancy their chances of winning the damn Tiger Cup thing, the national team always manage to disappoint me. Still. They have my support.

Speaking of which, I've noticed that Tiger Cup is like a bi-annual display of spectactular own goals. The previous Tiger Cup saw an Indonesian defender volleying into his own net, in order to avoid Thailand and getting himself banned from the sport forever in the process and this time around, a Laotian defender heading into his own goal with his keeper stunned and a brillant display of wit when another Indonesian defender pass the ball to his own..well. goal.

Laughable, but this competition is merely to tell the world that South-East Asia is getting nowhere with the soccerball.

Consider this.

2004-12-14T23:00:00.000+08:00

Why you all so like that?

2004-12-14T22:19:00.000+08:00

Seriously. Girls these days need to take a look at their own behavior and ask themselves whether they are ashamed or what they are doing is lady-like. You want to chase a guy, no problem, open-minded society we have today. But you are 13.

So, two words of advice, young women of today. Not everything is what it seems and you are not that attractive.

Speaking of which, someone from within dictatorship has betrayed the light. These green horns have to be taught the laws of the dictatorship and held in line. Hormones these days are making younger kids hornier.

I am slowly losing my insanity.

The Da Vinci Code

2004-12-13T21:46:00.000+08:00

I picked up the book this morning to re-read it again. Aroused my interest once more, and so I went onto the Dan Brown website and took on the "Da Vinci Code" Challenge. And since I am so smart and all, I completed the challenge, only to find that the contest has ended, and a link to try the Original Challenge, which i did to a certain extend.

Still, although there's no prize, it's a whole lot of fun. So, if you have read the book, give it a shot.

or if you want to try the original one,

Hassle-free my balls

2004-12-13T00:05:00.000+08:00

I swear, the government going into the "e-service" thing is a step back, for today anyways. Being the fillial son i am, acceded by Dad's request to help him renew his already two-month expired business licence.

However, this "e-service" only allows us, the IT-savvy citizens to pay through:

A) Their "Deposit Service"
B) E-Nets Cashcard
C) Internet Banking

So, since I can't use A nor do i have a cashcard machine thingie at home for B, i chose C. BUT, I would require an Internet Banking Pin. Do i have that? No. So, this afternoon, I went down to Northpoint's POSB ATM and merrily retrived my pin.

So, I have everything i need. Internet Pin, Internet Connection, Debit Account Pin. I should be able to get this done under 5 minutes, BUT NOOOOO. E-service has to load unsuccessfully, and for each attempt that fails, i have to wait for a half-hour before being able to try again. WTF?

So now, at 15 minutes past midnight I am still trying. No, i am not angry, just frustrated. Why can't I just pay at the bloody service counter?

All I want for Christmas is You

2004-12-11T22:31:00.000+08:00

to do my homework for me.

But seriously though, I barely receive any presents during Christmas, maybe it's because I never give out any. Still, that doesn't stop anyone of you reading this to wrap up a nice little present just for me.

Had DEP training today, I increasingly have this feeling that DEP is slowing turning into a weekly social gathering where everyone come together and start to gossip and laugh at people with lower intellect. That is not a good sign.

I think I need someone to push and motivate me. Otherwise, those maths assignments sitting on my desk can stay unanswered.

Procrastination is bad.

2004-12-10T20:18:00.000+08:00

but it's one of my virtues.

Yet-to-do list

- Buy Books.
- Do Holiday Homework.
- Study.

Those are what's left after finishing: watching television, movies and hanging out.

Subhuman?

2004-12-09T21:22:00.000+08:00

Looking up Subhuman at Dictionary.com, i find:

sub·hu·man(sb-hymn)
adj.
- Below the human race in evolutionary development.
- Regarded as not being fully human.

I am so not that. I have feelings too.

Defensive Manoeuvres

I hope everyone understand why I am so defensive about my position. I've seen people not stand up for themselves and lose out.

Random stomach pains are killing me.

What I initially thought was gay, wasn't that gay afterall. Jamie Cullum makes for good easy listening, especially with that mushy "Everlasting Love" tune. In fact, I think I am getting hooked on to songs that are easy to listen to.

Maybe I am turning gay, or I am just being myself.

And oh, Robin isn't a pedophile or pervert. He's just a metrosexual at heart. I have the photos to prove it.

Must work harder.

Had great time at Fish & Co. with Gong Jiao though.

This Is The Moment

about 10 hours to the VJ semi-finals, and I am sitting at my laptop typing this.

Sort of realised that this is it. If we win, we are gonna be in the finals(which is about 14 hours away), we lose, all is lost. A certain someone told me, not to let stress get to me, win or lose, it's the experience that counts. But we can't go into a match, thinking we'll lose.

I have confidence in gong jiao.

Sunday Morning

Maroon 5 - Sunday Morning
Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mould that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you
That someday it would bring me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I’m calling out to you
Singing someday it’ll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself home to you

And you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow...

There's a flower in your hair.(till fade)

This song is like revolving in my head.

For the past week, we prepared everything we could on Arafat. More than 8 times we have re-written each speech of ours. More spars then we ever had in a week. I think we put at least 40 hours of work into this Arafat motion.

Then came the debate, the ideas didn't flow, the things we planned to do didn't happen, the speeches were screwed up. But still we won. To quote Foofy, "I think we are the luckiest bastards in the world."

Feel kinda disappointed, Incarnate put so much effort into this, training us when he could be clubbing, we let him down quite a bit. Luckily, we had won that debate, if not. =/

The second debate came as a morale booster really. faced AHS, and won.

And since we won 2 debates, we had to face SNGS. Saw the motion in the wrong way inititally, then figured it out, only have to our opponents define it differently. Worse of all, we didn't have the balls to challenge it. Add that to our fatigue, we lost it.

In retrospect, it wasn't so bad, at least we were ranked second but we could have worked harder.

Gonna face NYGH in semis next, it's make or break now.

GONG JIAO. TU FEI MENG JING =/
