definitely be alot of crap. oh and i counted for my own schedule, i have prob about 85 days of no school including saturdays and sundays, 9 days after we leave sji, 37 days with stuff which willt ake the whole day, and less then 3 months of school days..  annd o levels starts on the 30 oct in case ur wondering. mid years are in may. chinese o levels is 29 may. random numbers and dates eh..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and just to clear some stuff up. what really happened was that i was at my table. doing my work. and then udbhav went to irritate roderick. roderick warns him but he still carries on. roderick threatens him. udbhav still carries on. roderick picks him up and tosses him over his shoulder, like judo style. all this while i am in my seat. and then the last thing i remember is udbhav's feet about to hit me. then i lose sight. when i finally start i find out my teeth were knocked out. and my tooth was fractured, not so simple as the whole thing coming off. so my nerves were exposed, the tooth was fractured into pieces, so when i reached the dentist i find out that there is still one other piece of the tooth that is missing, either i swallowed it or its in the class, and chances are that it was swept away by the cleaners. but not that it matters since it cant be fixed. im gonna have to do root canal treatment. and then put braces. and then when the teeth stop growing i can put bridge, implants or dentures. i cant even do a crown. and its gonna cost alot.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;i didnt post all that to &lt;em&gt;suan &lt;/em&gt;anyone. i dont blame anyone currently for it. i understand that it was not their intention for me to get hit and loose my teeth, the 2 front teeth at that. im posting this to tell all you insensitive people out there who keep smiling at me as if ur some kind of toothpaste seller. stop it. im currently not in the best of moods.

type='text'>3rd week of school..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;this week has been tired but fun. yea right... fun...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;monday, tuesaday, wednesday stayed back for scouts to build stuff for all sec 1 cca orientation. and was so bloody tired by the time i get home that i only have time to do hw and sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;thursday was the cca orientation itself. and what we had. sucked. honestly. but thats also partly due to the fact that we had quite bad weather conditions, if not we would have built the tower and 2 storeys.. sad... but the idea of kitchen sheds was.. i dunno.. not very impressive? i really dont know..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;and then there was the campfire, which as usual every year the scouts will have to prepare the fire. not complaining though.. anyways, this years idea was fireballs, as in 3. quite cool.. but the prob was that the pit was nailed together, so when the fireballs came down the fire couldnt start, and all that was burning was the balls itself, so marcus and chin hao had to go push it in, then constantly feed the fire with cloth soaked in kerosene and firewood. scouts job.. but overall i think the campfire went quite well&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;and i can say that i have gotten over the psl and psf stuff. i accept that i didnt get it, and i do agree with the choice after reading my previous blog posts.. and i suppose that my attitude at that time really sucked, so i can kind of understand why. i dont really have any regrets, although i just wish that things would not have turned out this way, but it did, and i accept it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;and i have pissed off 3 people in scouts this week.. not too good.. gabriel tan, daniel soh and chao hao.. for various reasons, i kinda shouted at gabriel.. and as for daniel it was quite stupid.. we were at tanglin cc and he said like wah my bi weekly got 52 eh.. and obviously he knows that my chinese sucks, so he was like wah how come im so good. so ok, i just keep quiet. then later marcus and chin hao talking about english, like saying english can get a1, and i like just as a joke tell him ya, english sure can get a1 right daniel? then he says **** you lah, im also damn pissed, points a finger, and walks off. im like wth? u wanted to boast about your chinese in the first place. anyway, my point was u want to to boast than u better also be able to take some suaning. just like u better be able to take criticism if u want to dish it out. and as for chao hao.. we were like arguing over the fireball. he said he wanted to put the sparkler on the fireball, but me marcus and chin hao were like telling him dont, because what if it falls? safety first.. and then he says no, its been tested, it will look cool, but we were like telling him not to take the risk, so he not very happy and then kind of ignored us the rest of the night.. sigh.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;damn im tired. today was basically tution hw and tution and slack. yeah... anyways, gd nights, and i would like to remind people that this is how i saw things happening, whether it was really what happened i cant confirm, so pls dont come looking for me in sch and start scolding me...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>a weird weekend</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;this weekend has been.. surreal.. actually im not too sure if i should call it that. maybe just plain weird. that might fit better. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;damn, i left my file in school and as a result i have alot of hw inside there not done, i have a form not signed to be passed up tmr, and not to mention i have no idea where it is. actually that was more of friday the 13th rather than my weird weekend. sigh.. weirdly, the friday 13th for the previous years wasnt really actually very un lucky, but i dont know whether its this year or what, but my friday just went haywire. see lah javier, your year...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;and i was indirectly told that i was irritating in my tution class. which honestly i agree but then what really saddened me was who it came from. no comments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;and today has just been weird. pastoral attachment, i was posted to the 10:45 mass warrdening. with chin hao. not too bad.. and speaking about chin hao, sry if i got angry with u about the follower thing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;and here i am doing something weird. blogging i mean. for no weird reason. wait, for no good reason but yes a weird reason. hmm.. weird weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;oh ya, 423 won soccer

type='text'>2005: My Sec 3 Year In SJI</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;wow.. im finally reopening this blog... and no, not because i have blog trauma. -.- dont even know who started all that but nvm. 2005 for me personally was quite a great year, of course it had its ups and downs but generally i would say that there were more ups than downs. let start from the beginning then..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;1st day of school: posted to class 323. and i was quite relieved to know that i was in 323, cuz originally i was posted to 325. dunno what would have happened to me if i went there.. anyway, 323, the only ex 206 with me is roderick.. and from what i can tell i think he doesnt really want to be in 323.. but anyway, meet a few people on the first day who turn out to be quite nice friends: nigel, sai chuen, almeric, gerald (ok so there may be some exceptions). then there were some who i only got to know later but turned out to be great friends: edmond, balu, kai chuen.. and i got selected for prayer leader. hmm.. i suppose its cuz rod had his prefect duty, if not he would have gotten it again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;as for scouts, we were officially sec 3, and we were stepping up this year. i wondered whether i should keep to what i actually wanted from the start or should i change my aim.. oh, and aravind joins us in scouts from malaysia too. =)) nice guy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;and then there is the sec 1 orientation camp for all the new sec 1s, and then the campfire. as usual the scouts stay back to prepare for the campfire and so i decided to help out.. and yes seeing all my other level mates as psl did indeed cut me.. but looking back at my previous blog, i understand why i didnt get the psl role.. but still quite sore about it.. but then again no point crying over spilt milk.. so anyways i stayed back to help out.. the campfire went quite nicely.. quote from sean lee's blog:"&lt;em&gt;everything went smoothly. firelighting was editted last minute but was still a big success. I brought in the torch (such a memorable moment you know) *self-centred*, passed to TL who passed to Mr Lui. and torch burn small ball, small ball burn clothe, clothe burn big ball, big ball burn raffia and doink into the firepit it went. Marvellous!!!&lt;/em&gt;" lol.. sean..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;and so sec 1s join scouts.. and these 3 join leopard.. and they are: willie, samuel koh and mark. hmm.. i thought willie was another potential best sec 1.. samuel koh was like samuel tee.. lol.. and mark was just.. lost... lol..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;so that was the first part of the year.. got through the first term quite ok.. TA1 i came in 11th position, made the promise to myself: TA1 top 15, mid year top 10, and final year top 5. did i make it? find out later...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;so then came the march hols.. and also my birthday, so had a celebration at my house. first time i had people over at my house other than javier and rod so was quite fun.. watched hitch, played ps2, and bbq.. haha..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;so from there was basically mugging for the mid years.. and surprisingly i did manage to get into the top 10..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;then had my rme retreat.. not going to recount the whole thing here, if u want to read about it just check the archives.. but yes i had a great time during the retreat, it was very meaningful&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;and then came one of the most major things of my scouting life thus far: UTC/PLTC. i really dont know what to say about it.. but honestly i thought that the idea of combining both PLTC and UTC was quite bad.. because there are some stuff which is considered acceptable for the sec 3s but not for the sec 1s and 2s, and these stuff were carried out in the previous PLTC, but for that reason the same thing couldnt happen. anyways.. pltc for me was.. fun?! well i dont know what to say about it, still can rmb the times when i stayed up late with aravind to do the gadgets for les frere, all the change parades, and also will never forget the iron team challenge.. to say that the camp was not tiring would be a lie, but then again.. hmm.. the previous years were worse.. but then again, i wonder.. and then i began to seriously look at what position i should aim for..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;and then came lltc, for which to get in through scouts we had to actually write a letter to the scouters.. but then i got chosen by class com so i didnt get in through scouts.. but that doesnt really matter since i did get to go for lltc, which was truly an experience like no other. the highlights of the camp being the walk from sji to st pats, the fast food experience, creating a PMS, which btw is "be myself" which i think i have sort of followed and definitely the community service which we did. yup, lltc, be the difference!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;and then came voting for scouts. and finally i saw how things in scouts could get so ugly. and yes my blog was mentioned from what i heard and i dont think it potrayed me too well, but wth. and so i thought i would go for the top 3. tl/spls. so the top 3 positions came down to 4 people: sh, kj, trent and i. but sh trent and i would not be around for the stepping up ceremony because we were away at....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;EUROJAM!! the best thing that ever happened to me so far. haha, might sound kinda exaggerated but it was truly the most fun days of my life. meeting so many new people, learning their cultures, trading badges, observing how other people behave, dance tent, concerts, celebrate europe day, did i mention meeting people? lol.. but as much as it was fun it ended quite sadly for me... lets just say that by the time i decided to do something about how i felt it was too late.. but london was fun! =) sorry about not being able to get presents for everyone.. wanted to buy some chocs from the airport but then as some might know there were strikes so.. and my @$#$ camera deleted all my photos!!! arghs.. haix... sad.. oh wells, truly the best days of my life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;and i come back to find out that i didnt get any of the top 3. well, i live with it. at least i got the sec 3 trainer role. and so managed to take my mind of scouts after that and concentrate on final year, and due to the 2 weeks that i was away i was really lagging...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;and so i started mugging, got a tution teacher to help me with the subjects i missed and also to help me with revision.. and guess what? i did actually make it to top 5 for final years! woot! lol....... &gt;.&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;and then there was npc. i had mixed reactions to this. i didnt know whether i wanted to be in or not. cuz we were all just selected. and then there was trent who was always.. clashing with me? hmm.. but then we managed to put aside all that or at least not let it affect us too much and continue with the camp. and our campsite was well, i dunno what to say about it. it had the potential and yet it wasnt. it could have gotten us championship and yet we only got silver. something was wrong. and the problem lied with alot of things, but mostly us. it kinda sucked being the only person who got the gold and then a silver. thats for me personally, but i wish the future team all the best and good luck getting the championship. redeem pelandok.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;and so dec has basically been rotting and dota-ing. that was for the most part when my family was away in hk. and then they came back.. and so i am in a mad rush to complete my hw. hahas... anyways.. signing off with this message: HAVE A SUPER HAPPY FUN TIME CHRISTMAS!!!

omg, we were acutally walking in the wrong direction!! thanks to stupid me.. so.. i apologise to my followers for having been mislead by me. i am truly sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;so we reached the place at around 8++ before 8:30 though..so cooked dinner.. then me and chin hao started on our log.. so we climbed up the pyramid since there werent any proper chairs or benches around.. so anyway, imagine me, chin hao, luzhi, and a few others up at the pyramid. then imagine some sec 1s rushing to the pyramid, saying "sec 3s, sec 3s, shannon is injured" so im like thinking "come on lah, the last time they said someone was injured all that guy needed was a plaster" so i kinda ignored them.. =S then they shouted again "shannon is injured" so i turned my head, and nothing in this world could prepare me for what i was to see. i looked at shannon. his shirt. was red. blood. i rushed down as fast as i could, then brought him to the pavillion, then tried as best as i could to treat his wound. it was a gash across his head, and a very deep one at that. at that moment, i really didnt know what i should do. all i could think of was clean the wound, meanwhile andrew called kwang, then i bandaged his head, then we managed to get someone to give shannon, lim chuan and andrew a ride. so everyone was pretty much freaked out after that..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;then second day was very very slack.. we were walking REALLY slowly, and stopping at each checkpoint for really long.. but we still got to telok blangah npc without cheating at all! =) before 11! haha.. so then since me and chin hao reach there around the same time, we both treat our followers to drinks. so.. heres some acknowledgements:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[lu zhi] i really want to thank you for helping me throughout this hike, u have been really help ful, no sarcasm meant. thanks for helping me to lead the way while i pushed. haha.. thanks, i really dont know how i would do it without you =)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[gabriel] thanks for following me on hike, hope you will have more experience in your future hikes, and you will be able to manage it better!

we go around, asking for replacements(more like begging). tried aravind first. he had to go back to malaysia. so ok, then we could try the qms. but, marcus has india trip, and even though he can go for the camp itself, he will miss all the trainings, so quite pointless.. then chin hao had his ipoh trip to attend. so he also couldnt go. so how about the secrataries? gabriel. cannot. work. that is a fact... i think maybe even he admits that.. and besides, he doesnt want to go cuz he has bad experience and dunno what reasons.. so then darren.. im actually fine with darren, he can work, but, zong bing says that he is a joker, and the way he speaks is kinda disrespectful. i sort of agree with that, but thats not the main thing here. the main point, is that no who could even come close to matching shih hoongs standard could go. so how?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;thankfully, chin hao spoke with my gregory, gregory spoke to kenny, and kenny spoke to brother mike. they found a replacement for chin haos ipoh trip, and he able to go for npc. which is like omg.. thank god.. if not.. hmm.. dunno lah, the point is that chin hao took over shih hoongs place. which is good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;so anyway, apart from the members problem, we are also having an attitude problem. is it just me, or is there no way to get people to work? hmmm.. i dont understand what im saying.. wow, interesting.  anyways.. we have to get our attitude straightened out. fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc9933;"&gt;Goal: Go For Gold!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10361893-113059367152251787?l=jinewton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/feeds/113059367152251787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10361893&amp;postID=113059367152251787' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/113059367152251787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/113059367152251787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/2005/10/npc.html' title='NPC'/><author><name>JI</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05750287612690137287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10361893.post-113042874113359378</id><published>2005-10-27T23:31:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-27T23:59:01.223+08:00</updated><title type='text'>confused.</title><content type='html'>schools over. hooray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im in npc. hooray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;shih hoong injured his arm. and he cant go for npc. hooray?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how should i feel now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is there any guide book for life?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;im confused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and tired.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10361893-113042874113359378?l=jinewton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/feeds/113042874113359378/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10361893&amp;postID=113042874113359378' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/113042874113359378'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/113042874113359378'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/2005/10/confused.html' title='confused.'/><author><name>JI</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05750287612690137287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10361893.post-112990272070196977</id><published>2005-10-21T21:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-21T21:59:32.453+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Last Training for the Year</title><content type='html'>ok, not quite the last, rather the last one of the school term. so how did it go? let see...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;half of the sec 2s were at ace camp.&lt;br /&gt;out of the other half who did not go, only 6 people turned up.&lt;br /&gt;the rest? sick, buying equipment, didnt bring uniform so decided not to come down, blah blah..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;so what do i do with 6 people? i scheduled for footdrills. and i wanted to actually make it slack for them. not my usual self, but then again, normal meeting there is no ace camp which will take away half the level. so anyway, what did i do with them in the end? made them help us (sec 3s going to help at chao yang cip) pick kindling. so after that, had no idea what to do since footdrills with 6 people is just pointless. so lim chuan say let them play soccer. so ok, lets go street soccer court. in the end its occupied by npcc (some inter unit competition). so we watch them play, then decided it was really pointless, and then went back to the den. sat there for a while, talk cock abit, then decided on playing monkey. then went to the hockey pitch since we decided that playing around the flag pole was rather dangerous. i still hadnt changed out of my uniform at this point, mainly because i saw no real point.. ok, so maybe i was wrong about that. so anyway, then we kinda had an soccer match with sjab. wasnt very long, but got thrashed like 5-0. sad... then just nice the sec 1s came to the track for pt, and daryl was watching them. then he looked at us. we were playing soccer. which according to lim chuan, mr kwang allowed as pt. anyway, i decided that that was a good time to go change. so i did, not sure what happened after that, but then when i come back, i see daryl screaming at the whole contingent, more so directed at the sec 3s. so he questions me about why i didnt follow the schedule. i was thinking, are we like, supposed to follow the schedule no matter what happens? i didnt expect only 6 people. what could i do? i was asked to plan that on wednesday. so i just did what seemed more sensible. whatever.. then i take the level and bring them for pt. i scream at them, make them cheer, pump them.. my main reason behind doing that? trying to show daryl that i can let the level have fun and yet able to discipline the level. did it work? i have no idea.. so then made them do logs.. then made them change.. then fall out.. after that got scolded (kinda) by daryl.. and then talk alot of lame cock.. thats basically how the training went.. if i remember correctly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;and guys, could u all just leave what i did in eurojam alone? if things had turned out differently i might have accepted it, but u guys are just reminding me of how stupid and how much of a idiot i was.. so if u guys dont mind just like.. drop that subject..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10361893-112990272070196977?l=jinewton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/feeds/112990272070196977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10361893&amp;postID=112990272070196977' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112990272070196977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112990272070196977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/2005/10/last-training-for-year.html' title='Last Training for the Year'/><author><name>JI</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05750287612690137287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10361893.post-112981874639344024</id><published>2005-10-20T22:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-21T21:14:23.943+08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Song!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;hey... finally put up a new song, after the request of edmond. haha.. hope u guys like this song. well, i suppose this song does have a certain meaning to me.. go figure&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NB Ridaz feat.

type='text'>Results for FYE 2005</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;ok, so today i got back all of my results. and i think that i didnt actually screw up too badly. i feel kinda proud of myself since i achieved a great deal of these results by myself, through my own efforts and work. ok, enough bullcrap, my results---&gt;&gt;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;English: 67, B3.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chinese: 41,

know what to write for the comphrehension so i just anyhow chose a phrase and copied it.. but im quite surprised with my physics, amath and history results. was quite surprised that i got an A2 for physics, which i have been failing the past year. well, ok, so maybe some tution helped.. as for amath, i was all set to fail it. i knew that i screwed it up badly, but i have no idea how i managed a 67 after moderation.. and as for history, i was quite sure that i was going to fail too, mainly because of my essays.. turned out that my sbq, surprisingly, pulled me up quite a bit. just managed to pass..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;but im quite pissed with myself about chemistry and literature. yea, should really have studied harder for chemistry, all my mugging for chemistry was last minute and short term memory is useless as compared to long term memory.. nvm, o levels! and i seriously think that i should have gotten higher for literature. maybe i wasnt focused on that day, or maybe i just felt like slacking. i dunno, but i should be getting more than that. o levels...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;hmmm, im not sure what my position is in class, but im hoping that im top 5. but doesnt seem possible, since kc has about 62% and he is 4th.. lets just see how things turn out..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9900;"&gt;to all: may we accept our marks, and use it, whether good or bad, as a guideline for how much harder we have to work. o levels!! dont give up!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>School After OBS</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;went back to school on monday.. honestly it didnt feel as if there was school on sunday night.. haha, sometimes i wish i was back in OBS.. so anyway, went to school, after assembly went to class, then we watched a movie! its like whoa.. "I Robot". watched it once already, but watcehd it again.. haha, will smith is damn good... so after that went to the hall, and yes, sec 3s have finally upgraded to the gallery! woot! lol.. so there was prize presentation (congrats to darrick and jeremy for getting the distiguished lasallian award and all others who received prizes) and there was the farewell of mr foo, who taught in sji for 43 years. thats a long time. yea.. also farewell to miss d costa.. wonder what the new teachers (if there are any) are going to be like... then i went down to the scout den.. and i had called for the fall in after school.. and apparently sec 2s dont read the notice board everyday.. ok, so maybe im the freak.. whatever..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;then went down to the scout hq to buy a topo map with darren.. but stupid me forgot that the scout den is closed on mondays... so i just went to macs to get my lunch first, then called chin hao, who also needed a topo map. so we decided to go to beach road to buy.. lol.. then chin hao and darren were just pissing me off, telling lame jokes, the same way trent does it.. in moderation lame jokes are ok, but if it just keeps coming at u non stop, it gets really really pissing. so anyway, we took quite a while to find the army place (mainly cuz of them telling stupid lame jokes which kinda screwed my orietation of the place) so when we got there we were just walking around asking whether the shops sold maps.. so we went to the end and found this shop which sold maps at like $22! which was quite a good deal considering that karjun bought his map, also at beach road, for $33! lol.. then the shop owner said "ok, since u all are students i sell to u for $20" that was like cool... also bought a poncho and this pair of gloves, u know those kind of biker gloves, for $4 a pair.. haha.. its quite cool.. then we were just sitting in the hawker centre talking cock.. then went home... ya, thats about it...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;~side note: i need a faster com with a better internet connection. oh and btw passerby, mind telling me who u are? i wont really bother trying to find out who u are so if u want to be known then tell me who u are, if not i shall just consider u as some nameless passerby and forget u~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;today was quite eventless.. nothing more to say.. since im not going to curse or swear on this blog... =X wont say anymore. bye!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10361893-112962108972679407?l=jinewton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/feeds/112962108972679407/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10361893&amp;postID=112962108972679407' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112962108972679407'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112962108972679407'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/2005/10/school-after-obs.html' title='School After OBS'/><author><name>JI</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05750287612690137287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10361893.post-112945096997234310</id><published>2005-10-16T15:41:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-10-16T16:22:50.336+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Outward Bound Singapore</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;im back from obs! actually was back on friday... lol.. anyway, i had a really great time at obs. my watch was Cook.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Instructor: Kenn&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Us: Trent, Michael Lian, Jansen, Joshua, Kai Xiang, Kelvin, Hygiene, Joey, Xing Hao, Mok Chin Hao, Terrence, Samuel, Bernard and me. (Yi Jiang too, bu he fell sick half way and had to leave..)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;yup, thats us. haha, was a really great watch, though we didnt really start out that well. i still remember on the first day where there was some probs with the group, mainly that no one wanted to do things for the group so it was like just left to me and trent ( the 2 scouts ) to do all the stupid crap. so that night, kenn told us that he could also see that there as a prob aand told us we needed to sort it out. so we gathered in one corner, and trent started like talking and talking.. i added a bit here and there.. mainly about how the group is not functioning as a group, rather as individuals. after taht i thought there was not going to be any changes cuz it looked as if no one had listened. but we were wrong. we started to work together, packing our bags, rationing the food, carrying the tents. we started to share the load, that was really heartening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;one of the memorable activites was the high elements. we first had to cross a bridge with a rope hanging overhead to help us balance. than we had to cross a log, hung in mid air by chains, with nothing to hold onto for support. than came the worst. we had to walk on 2 metal wires, nothing to hold onto, nothing as support. in the end everyone used the belay as a handle. lol... but it was fun cheering people on and trying it out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;then there was also "The Final Commitment", which apparently only our watch and Raleigh did. =) haha, it was just basically a tunnel underground. its pitchblack. seriously. cant see a thing in there. absolutely. black. only way out was in, so we had to go through the tunnel, feel our way around until we got to the exit. actually i kinda knew it was gonna be short, cuz kenn told me to go in through one pipe, and i saw another pipe like just a few feet away.. lol.. what was weirder was that when i came out, there was no one around. kenn had gone off somewhere, so i was like wondering around. than remembered that he pointed to somewhere in the trees and said that the others were waiting there, so i just went there and found them.. hmm.. wonder what it meant..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;so yea, i had a really fun time. but u know it was like the last camp i had gone for was eurojam, which was really really the best camp i have been to, so i was abit disappointed in the first few days, but slowly obs caught on.

 i mean seriously, people have been insulting others on blogs long before, but maybe the others arent aware of it, or they accept it as other peoples opinion. and come on, arent some people just being over-sensitive? call me childish or whatever, everyone has a reason for posting whatever they say on their blogs, be it insults to teachers, crude language or whatever. they are just expressing their point of view, and just saying what may have been on their mines, and they felt that it was the only way that they could truly express their anger was through the use of vulgarities. agreed, it may not be the best way to say it, but again, are we being over-sensitive? just accept that the person who is blogging it is immature and just move on with your life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i dont deny that there are people who post such stuff just to be popular with others, especially since its "cool" to insult others on a blog. but isnt there a reason behind all this? could it be that things get carried away? the idea of awarding the most creative blog, if you ask me, is really pointless. its one of the main reasons for all this contreversy. 8 days having their worst blogs in singapore isnt really helping either. im a supporter of 8 days, but some times things like this just doesnt really help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;maybe we should all just reflect on what has happened and ask ourselves, " are we being over-sensitive?" &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font color="#404040"&gt; ~once more, i re-emphasise the point that this is my blog. no, i am not trying to copy other people by creating a post like this. if this blog entry has no impact on you, especially if you are one of those people who slam bloggers, than so be it~ &lt;/font&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10361893-112807750429470601?l=jinewton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/feeds/112807750429470601/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10361893&amp;postID=112807750429470601' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112807750429470601'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112807750429470601'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/2005/09/blogging.html' title='Blogging'/><author><name>JI</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05750287612690137287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10361893.post-112749932995493199</id><published>2005-09-24T02:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-09-24T02:15:29.963+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Update</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;ok, decided to update.. after blog hopping.. clicking next blog after next blog... really nothing better to do it seems.. 2 am in the morning and im still not asleep, and also on the effects of coffee. im going crazy, thats not good. i havent studied enough, thats not good. im hungry, thats not too good... things looking quite bleak.. im unmotivaed to study right now.. dunno why, i just wanna have fun.

and why am i working so hard? what is the point? truly? i find it hard to understand. what will it test us on? physics? chemistry? will any of these really be useful in the job which we get? what good will knowing how to do stoichiometry be? will we really find all that useful in our life? will it help?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;but listening to my blog song, i think of eurojam. and i think of scouting. and i think of the people in scouts. all my friends. shih hoong, trent, chin hao, marcus, karjun, gabriel, darren and all the other scouts. they all are quite successful, and i dont deny that. but why, that is also what i have been asking myself. how is it that people like shih hoong, trent and chinhao, the 3 who also went for eurojam, how is it that they are able to be so active in scouts, and yet are still able to get top positions in scouts? and i wonder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;and i realise. it all boils down to one thing. attitude. attitude in everthing, studies and scouting. the exams test us on our disciline, on whether we will actually study. whether we do the right thing and prepare. as much as we hate it, its not so much the end result that we should look forward to, rather then the process of getting there. studies is more about the preparation than the exam, but of course things get carried away a bit but the main thing is, we should not worry ourselves too much about the result, but rather the process. same for scouts. its the attitude. i admit my attitude in scouts wasnt as well received as shih hoong and trent, and i suppose that was my mistake. but what is gone has been done. and we cannot change it, and can only look forward to the future. so onward, lets just push during these last weeks, and than let us bear the fruits which we reap!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;there is a line in my blog song which says "Little do we know ourselves, the power that we hold!" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Remember, we decide our fate.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Good Luck Guys!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10361893-112651511202051763?l=jinewton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/feeds/112651511202051763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10361893&amp;postID=112651511202051763' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112651511202051763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112651511202051763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/2005/09/exams.html' title='Exams.'/><author><name>JI</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05750287612690137287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10361893.post-112617601662183402</id><published>2005-09-08T18:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-09-08T18:40:16.626+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Slacking...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;haiz.. just cant seem to be able to concentrate on my work.. i want to do work, but just dont feel like it. cant focus, keep thinking of.. dunno, stuff?

type='text'>2nd Week of School after Eurojam</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;as you can see from the title, i still am thinking of eurojam. yes, it is truly an unforgetable experience, really impacted my life greatly. wish that i was back in eurojam with everyone, all of the singapore contingent, the same subcamp and the same people next to us. if u asked me whether i would go for it again, i definitely would say yes. such a great time spent there.. i really miss all the people there, all the days we spent there. i can even remember the first day when we touched down from the plane. we were just getting all our stuff, after we cleared the customs, gathered all our bags and we were just rushing from place to place being led by one of the eurojam staff/ist. then after going through what seemed like a maze, we finally ended up near some shops, and we rested. we waited for the french to arrive and in the mean time grabbed a quick bite. we checked the whole area and found out something quite shocking: prices in london are just like the prices would be in singapore, only they use pounds instead of sing dollars. meaning, its like x3 there. whoa. expensive. so just about everyone settled for whistletop's sandwich combo, sandwich, packet of chips and a bottled drink for 3 pounds. it IS expensive. this lunch would actually be the type of lunch we would be having for a long time.. so anyway, the french arrived, we boarded the bus to bring us there, then slept on the bus. lol. when we reached this field, we got out of the bus for a while, took a group photo with malcolm's camera. oh btw, the french, or rather europeans, have really cool hair styles. spiked and coloured! haha.. so different from singapore.. so anyway, got back on the bus, then got out of the field and the bus brought us to Hyland Park, Chelmsford. the place was really cool for a campsite. it had like, metal sheets on the ground for walk ways. thats was like, wow. then we got off the bus, and we realised that we were quite late, in terms of when we arrived. its like, almost everyone had their campsite had up and ready. flags were flying, food was frying, and everyone seemed pretty much settled. so we set up our campsite, the uk contingent next to us was so kind, they lent us their spare kitchen shed. =) if not, i cant really imagine what we would have to do.. probably construct one out of groundsheets. not a good idea. so ya, thanks again for the kitchen shed! then some of us started cooking dinner, the rest set up the tents. cant really remember what we ate though.. so after that we were like washing up, then we had some free time. this is when tony aka june ren told us the phrase "Own Time Own Target (OTOT)" lol... just basically means do whatever you want. so yea, i think we just slacked around. oh yea, indoneasians were going around singing songs already. haha. i think if im not wrong me and eugene went to the dance tent. o well, european girls are quite friendly. =D then that night i just fell asleep, without a sleeping bag. lol. i just went into the tent and then just went off into sleep. woke up a few times in the middle of the night, shivering and then trent helped me to get some stuff to cover me. thanks trent! thats basically the first day.. alot of parts were missed out, mainly cuz i cant remember and i dont have the time.. but yea, eurojam was fun! wish i could be there again! world jam is only 2 years away. ahaha...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;to all the other people who read my blog but didnt understand what i was saying, nevermind.  a few updates in school:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;physics test- failed my heat capacity and latent heat test. 3/10. didnt study. bah..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#00cccc;"&gt;a math test- i actually really studied for this test and guess what, i managed to pass! 25/40. not boasting, im just well, happy that something i put effort into has paid off.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;first official scout meeting- ya, had my first scout meeting after eurojam and stepping up. training a level is quite weird and tiring. it really isnt easy trying to train at a level. oh well, its the first meeting, wont base anything on it yet, since it is the first and there were quite a lot of people who didnt go.. but if you think that i punish you for fun, please sort it out with me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>1st Week in School after Eurojam...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;my first week in school has been quite hectic, been trying to catch up with all the work lost, taking tests which i missed. took emath test and social studies test on monday. failed emath, then had a retake on thursday. managed to pass after that. for social studies, i didnt do the essay, cuz i couldnt remember any content.. haha. so i handed in a blank script. not very funny though. oh wells, later was told that it would be discounted in some sense cuz my teachers agreed that it would be nearly impossible to study at a jamboree. how nice! physics test on monday, amath test on tuesday. hope i can pass physics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;first meeting of scouts. had plc, patrol leader's council. david kwang was telling us that it would be sad that if you did not get the post u wanted and then dont contribute anymore. wonder if he was referring to anyone specifically, such as.. me? anyways, i think that the scouts unit is going to get better under us. =) i have faith in my level and me, and i believe we have the ability to do the unit proud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;i offically received my post of patrol leader of leopard. yes, having the lanyard around my neck does in some sense pay off, though it could have been better. leopard, my patrol since sec 1. finally taking over as pl is quite honorable, taking after zunchen, bernadus and eugene chum. i will do the job well. =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;now time for me to start my mugging...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

going to the jamboree. it was probably one of the best days i have had in my life so far. being able to just go up to people and say hi with so much ease was very nice. everyone was just so friendly, so nice. felt great talking to so many people and making friends. really thankful to be given the chance to go to the eurojam.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;quoting from kelvin "Through badges it shall stay with me, through contacts it shall be kept alive, Eurojam shall never die." or something like that... anyways, i agree with him.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;the people were just great. i want to thank:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;leon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;juneren&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;shihhoong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;trent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

The professor, pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christianity was but a myth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Another student raised his hand and said:&lt;br /&gt;"Can I ask you a question professor? Does cold exist?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;The professor scoffed at his question and said&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;:"What kind of question is that? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;The young man replied:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;"In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is but the absence of heat."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;"Every body or object can be studied if it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or object have or transmit heat energy. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;The student continued:&lt;br /&gt;"Professor, does darkness exist?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;The professor responded:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;"Of course it does."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;The student replied:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;"Once again you are wrong sir; darkness is in reality the absence of light, Light we can study, but not darkness. You cannot measure darkness. How can you know how dark a certain place is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;Finally the young man asked the professor:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;"Sir, does evil exist?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Now uncertain, the professor responded:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;"Of course as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;To this the student replied:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;"Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word tat man creates to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It is like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;The professor sat down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who was this young man?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10361893-112220033552709335?l=jinewton.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/feeds/112220033552709335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=10361893&amp;postID=112220033552709335' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112220033552709335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10361893/posts/default/112220033552709335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jinewton.blogspot.com/2005/07/evil.html' title='Evil?'/><author><name>JI</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05750287612690137287</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10361893.post-112203751077732110</id><published>2005-07-22T20:44:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-07-22T21:10:31.996+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Bother...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#1010ff;"&gt;this week has been rather stressful on me.. me trying to settle problems with myself.. sleeping late at night cause was rushing to finish the half blood prince (yes, i have finished it) cuz my sisters are like bugging me for it, then me trying to cope with my time spent playing dota.. and prob the biggest 1 of all: scouts. i really cant take much more. i work so hard in sec 1 and 2. im not fucking bullshitting. i put in almost all the effort that i could put in. i was at prob every single gathering which they had organised. i was always voluteering for camps. but all for what?

LOL. we were supposed to blow a ping pong ball into our opponents side of the table tennis table. then was captain ball. but with water balloons! cool... totally... then was this sort of snake game. we were supposed to form a line, blindfolded, then the front person is not blindfolded, and is supposed to grab the sock from the last person of the oppsing team line. really crazy. haha. then had to use a wire and form a sqaure. not allowed to see or speak. hmm, apparently, no group actually thot of forming the shape of the square first. as in the corners. so we were the first group to finish so fast. then had this game whereby we were suposed to throw paper plates to create a bridge. first supposed to get into the center of a sqaure, then across the square. end of station games, shower time. and basically slack time.&lt;br /&gt;7:30pm- dinner. then went for lecture. hmm, something abt lasallian. ya... we were then told we were given mailboxes and could write affirmation letters to others. then had supper and then sleep i think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday, 6:00am- woke up for morning pt. expected there to be 4.8km run. Turned out it was raining, so in the end we ran up and down the staircase, then that was it. Quite slack.&lt;br /&gt;8:00am- breakfast was nasi lemak. Quite ok la.. then had another session of the 7 habits of highly effective people (7hhep). now, told that we are supposed to create a PMS!! haha... personal mission statement, not wat u tink. i got a draft up. "be myself". simple, yet full of meaning. only i can understand.&lt;br /&gt;12:30pm - lunch. then gathered in the heritage hall, then was "action time" actually, its dragonboat and ropes course, spread over 2 days at the same time.. i went for dragonboat on the first day...&lt;br /&gt;1:30pm- set off for dragonboat in kallang. reached there, had safety briefing, then got into a boat with Brennan and Alban i think. hmm, was really fun,had water wars in the water. just splash the other boat as much as possible, using the oars or contaiers used for scooping water. whahaaha... was really fun experience, then we also jumped in to the water. we jumped into the kallang river. just days ago there was a body found in there... hmm... anyway, after that had a race back to shore.&lt;br /&gt;5:00pm- came back from dragonboat, reached st pats. then played dog and bone. then later, instead of getting the bone to your own side, u take a cup and splash on the other guy.. haha... was really funny. then had showers and then free time&lt;br /&gt;7:00pm- dinner, then we waited in the canteen for a loooooong time... we were just stoning there.. then alexstine, one of the facilitators was telling all sorts of lame stuff.. cant rmb lah, really really lame.... then i was just talking to darren abt wat was happening in scouts... anyway,&lt;br /&gt;8:30pm- Heritage Play! ya, it was a play abt the life of our founder, de lasalle. very well done i have to say. it was very gd, all of them could sing, or at least werent out of tune. congrats to all the people who were involved in the heritage play! it was really good! oh ya, zippy came.. and chums too.. and now i noe where the "into fire" thing came from..&lt;br /&gt;10:00pm- had reflections, then supper, then sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday, 6:00am- woke up for morning pt. wah.. really didnt feel like running...&lt;br /&gt;6:30am- went to east coast park for 4.8km run... i was like sometimes running with shih hoong and rod's group, then i ran with chin hao grp, then i watied for my group, brennan. so then just basically ran/walked with them.. chu xian had gone far ahead.. so we were like a group without a mage.. lol... anyway, then i decided to run again.. then they didnt want to run.. so i just went ahead.. caught up with nigel.. then at the last part waited for my grp.. then finished it together.. then went back to st pats..&lt;br /&gt;7:45am- went back to school, then had to do some reflection... then had showers and all that..&lt;br /&gt;8:30am- breakfast. then had some lecture... hmm, i cant seem to be able to rmb wat the lectures were abt.. =S oh yaa... some guy from a home of the aged came and gave us a tlak abt the elderly in sg.. ya.. then he also shared some stories... there was 1 abt a girl who was always bullied by her family just because she couldnt get very gd grades... she became like their "maid".. so she got so depressed she hurt herself.. makes me wonder... why... ppl.. do.. such stuff.&lt;br /&gt;12:00pm- lunch. then went for ropes course... well, the ropes course helped me in more ways than 1.. somehow, in the ropes course, i realised that i wasnt really all that gd.. so i shdnt act smart... ya... anyways, had rock climbing (i reached the top! =P) then flying fox (here i learnt i shd just listen to wat the instructers say) then had abseiling (her i learnt i shd pay attention when they are giving instructions.. and a carrabeana, or however it is spelt, cost $68, the heavy usage type) then had high elements.. ya.. ropes course was overall very fun.. but useful for me in the sense of a wake up call...&lt;br /&gt;6:00pm- reached back in st pats, on the bus ride back, every1 was like talking abt the next thing on the schedule... it was called fast food.. hmm.. so we were like talking abt wat it meant.. some said that we were going to be given our wallets and be released from sch to go buy macs or something.. others said it was catered.. then donovan said that it could actually be fasting.. meaning no food.. every1 laughed at the idea... but we shd have been prepared...&lt;br /&gt;7:30pm- went into the hall, then they led us to an empty space for our dinner.. we were like wondering where was our "fast food".. turned out that donovan was right.. we were actually fasting.. as in fasting food.. just 1 piece of bread with 1 cup of water for dinner... all sorts of reactions... like wtf... omg.. all that kinda stuff.. so then after a while, reflecting on it, it was actually quite a feast.. as compared to ppl from developing countries.. who have very little to eat, prob cant even get 1 bread and 1 cup of water for the whole day.. so it was quite a memorable experience.. maybe its cuz 1 bread and water is different from wat we normally eat.. so ya, it was memorable..&lt;br /&gt;8:30pm- went back to the hall. then had reflection.. then went back to our rooms.. then had group reflection.. ya..&lt;br /&gt;10:30pm- had supper.. it wasnt very much more than previous nights.. but was enough to stop watever hunger there was... keep it away till breakfast.. so ya.. then after that, went to some corner with rod and darren and just wrote affirmation notes.. ya... then went to sleep...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thursday, 6:20am- woke up, rushed to get ready for pt, then left for pt... again at east coast park.. somehow, wednesday pt didnt seem like 4.8.. was more like 2.4- 3km run.. so they decided to make it really 4.8.. and we went even longer.. but this time we managed to stick together as a group..&lt;br /&gt;7:30am- washed up and all that kinda stuff, then breakfast then phototaking.. hehe..&lt;br /&gt;8:30am- "journey with the dream".. ya.. basically just went to visit homes.. our grp was supposed to go to Metta Home.. some where in like wood lands??!?! ya.. so then went there by mrt.. and we finally got back our wallets and ez lin cards.. laming around on the mrt.. lol.. wont go into details… fun with rubberbands!&lt;br /&gt;11:15am- reached Metta Home. Was quite shocked when we got there. They told us that they were expecting a group of like, 40 ppl??!! We were like wah.. there were only 12+ ppl there.. including mr wong and shaman.. so were quite shocked.. so they said nvm, then came the next thing. The clients had been waiting for us since like 9am in the morning!! We were really stunned… felt quite bad.. so ya, mixed with the ppl there.. sang songs.. went round shaking hands.. some of them are really sad.. very.. cant say pitiful, that’s kinda like looking down on them.. but ya, it was sad. So then we served them lunch, then we talked with them a bit more.. they aren’t all mentally disabled.. there was this woman who was doing long multiplication with like 7 digit numbers!! was really amazing.. and she got them all right!! Totally amazed.&lt;br /&gt;12:45pm- left Metta Home, went for lunch. MACS!! Woot.. got the “fast food” which we all expected the night b4.. hahas.. anyways, after that took mrt back to st pats..&lt;br /&gt;2:45pm- reached st pats. Basically slacked around for a while. Then gathered in the hall. Debrief of the Journey With The Dream. Got into grps, like mages in 1 group and all that stuff.. heard more stories.. I am really a lucky guy.. so after that had more songs.. then went back to rooms..&lt;br /&gt;5:00pm- rushing for affiramtiion notes. As in really rushing.

slacking... so anyway... went to the grotto... tried to help a bit... but wasnt really much help.. so in the end fell asleep on the ground... woke up a while later... then had some supper, then went to the class rooms to put away bags... so we had sharing.. didnt realise that so many ppl had actually joined olgc... wow.. really amazing... after that we went to esso... after we returned, was talking to ##... was quite shocked by wat he said... idun wish to name this person mainly to kinda protect his privacy... but ya.. he told me that his life was really screwed up.. he was smoking, not talking to his family, having problems... i just hope he is ok... so slpt wif the legion ppl (not wat tink..)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;so woke up at

Math-60, b4 &lt;/strong&gt;(haiz... quite sad... even tho i passed, i still tink i didnt do well... i dno.. maybe cuz i was really careles... but we must learn to accept, move on and score!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E. math-78, A1 &lt;/strong&gt;(hmm... this is 1 of my 2 A1s... not bad.. but cld really haf been better... )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chinese- 54, c6 &lt;/strong&gt;(well.... at least i passed.. considering i failed the test itself... 43/100... so to pass is quite a relief.. in a weird way.. )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chemistry-68,b3 &lt;/strong&gt;(hmm... not too bad.. didnt really study for the test.. it was avtually quite easy to be honest... )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Physics-80, A1&lt;/strong&gt; (hehe.. my other A1... i tink it is quite a gd grade... but i dno how i got so high when quite a lot of others actually failed... oh well... then it was kinda funny... when the report paper cmae out, they put that i had only 26... i was like wtf??!!... lol.. but got it changed in the end...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Literature-66,b3&lt;/strong&gt; (hmm im improving.. thats a gd thing... all thing start small... yeah rite... anyway... im kinda satisfied wif these marks...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;History elec.-43, e8&lt;/strong&gt; (... i fell damn sad abt this... cuz my first test, an inference test, i had the wrong inference, so in the end i only got 2/10 for that particular test... sad... and i got 13/20 for the other... sad... i failed a subject...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;so that is basically all my marks for this term... hmm... average shd be 63.25%, 11th position... next term must aim for top ten, then after that top 5... weee.... must go for it... apart from studies, scouts has been kinda ok... a bit pissing at times... but other than that ok lar... so thats my summary of this term....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;[tmr ptm, i dno wat periasamy will say abt me to my mum... hope nth bad...)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>haiz... swimming carnival..</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;haiz.. ytd was swimming carnival.. so i shall split it up into 3 parts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;School: not much happened.. but. i did get back my social studies paper... i got 13... which is not so bad... but then the calculation for elective humans was really crappy... the first history test times 5 and this test times 2.5 ... so after the claculation, guess how much i got? 43. yes, i failed. cuz the first test i got only 2/10. which really sux. im probably gonna fail chinese too.. and a maths i got 61... haiz... aniwae, ttodae for maths, omf gave us some maths sums to do... whee... i cld do all the qns... but not in time.. so i tink i only got 1 out of three correct... sadz...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;swimming carnival: due to the swimming carn, we left sc early at 12... cool... so we left sch, went to the swimming pool, then mass swim for fintan and marcian started.. i swam 8 laps... not bad considering that i havent swam in dno how long... and i am still recovering from my op in december on my appenidx... so as im drying up, there is suddenly a shortage of ppl for competitive... so i tell rod to put me as last resort... in the end still cannot ind anyone to replace me..  so in the end they put me in 4X50m.. not very gd considering i was doing breast strke all the way for the mass swim... so i was third swimmer wif tim lim, nicholas and another guy not from our class... so tim lim gaves us a very gd lead... then nicholas contonued it... haiz... whin it came to me i tried to keep up wif ht...  but just cldnt... so i lagged a lot... in the end i tink i was 1 of the last... haiz... sry guys... feel really bad... esp to those in the team... really sry... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;and i just realised that xiao yang is a real ass hole...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;after swimming: we wanted to play lan, so went to parklane... all the lan shops were either full or didnt allow sch uniform.. so in the end we decided to book first then wait.. so we waited.. and waited... meanwhile eating at mac... so we then went into the shop.. and watied... and waited... watched other ppl play... while standing up... for some reason i brought back quite a lot of books... so my bag was damn heavy... so we waited... waited from abt 3 to abt 5... and still no com available... so in the end canceled our booking... so til now i still have never gone to play lan... took mrt back... was standing up all the way.... so reached home abt 6.30... legs damn pain and i was damn tired... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66cccc;"&gt;y is it that whenever we try, it just isnt gd enuf?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

reversing into the starting point, the steerer did not lift up the steer high enuf, so the steer kind of went into the sand. managed to get it out. then the race started, so we actually had a very good lead. we were on par or ahead of michael. then dno y, we started to go left, onto shore.. we were like wtbf, so were like trying to reverse, then dno how, the steer broke! was like wtf... was really damn sad lah... then after that our 12 men were leading, then dno y in the end i tink michael overtook us, and we got second... damn.. michael really owned lah... they really won alot.. and we
