My best 18th birthday present,
was being able to spend it with some of my closest buddies and also my family.
You know how you always get super excited for your birthdays when you're young,
then as the years go by and one by one, disappointing birthdays pass as well,
you start not getting your hopes too high on having a really good birthday?
I guess, today was somewhat like that. I didn't really expect anyone other than my family to
care enough to surprise me with a cake and stuff like that.
And even worse, the day was off to a grumpy start, playing my FAVOURITE sport.
8.30am in Xinmin Secondary School - Friendly match with Xinmin B Boys.
Result? What I felt was quite a sloppy turnout and attitude from my teammates.
ARGH.
Don't you just hate the feeling of feeling so strongly about something that is repeatedly happening
(e.g. Your teammates showing loser attitudes on court over and over again like becoming quiet and kanchiong once we are losing by a few points)
and being restricted by your own conscience cause you know that if you constantly bring the issue up,
the situation would probably get worse?
(e.g. My teammates would lose even more moral, get irritated and shut-off completely, or even worse, grow to hate your guts?)
Yeah, I HATE THAT FEELING.
Being so restricted by no one else but myself, my self-pride, my image. Maybe I'm the one that's a loser, huh? Anyway, the thing I feel so strongly about would just eat into me till I become tired of saying anything at all, tired of encouraging, tired of maintaining my image, going into irritation myself.
After the friendly which we lost, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone, but lo and behold,
I was shocked by this!
The guys bought me an cake! It was UBER unexpected k!
Its really rare for friends to buy me a cake or even remember my birthday. Well I guess facebook helped in that department. :D Still, I was really surprised la! Thanks guys!
(That stupid coffeeshop elephant-hide auntie wanted a friggin' slice la. We were so nice to give it to her and after that when I ordered a drink and wanted to pay her 90 cents with four 5 cent coins, she refused to take it la! What the shit. She ended up taking the drink back cause I more stubborn than her HAH!)
Then, the crow decided to take a leak on my crumpler velcro T_T.
After that was quite boring - had to entertain a few relatives till about 6 plus then my family and I went out for dinner at Fish Manhattan(the grilled catch of the day is heavenly with that oh-so-tasty butter garlic sauce!). Mmmmmmm. After that, my parents bought me a bag, a jacket and they bought me a watch last year!
My sis and bro bought me a super nice shirt too! :D I'm the luckiest guy today.
Thanks guys, thanks god!
I have absolutely no idea how bad or good this new year's gonna be,but one thing I do know is that its gonna be interesting.
Kicking off the year with the awkward remnants of a feud between once-close friends, having closer relationships with others, the super-hectic life straight ahead and my super-slacker class buddy with me,volleyball nationals in sight while still fighting for my position as spiker,upcoming station master selections and the ever-awesome TJ orientation in two weeks' time,*phew* the new batch of sportsxcellers coming in, sportsxcel induction camp,and not to mention, piles and piles of undone homework!
YET, I'm still excited as a rat with golden cheese.I wonder why... Why look forward to a lazy life in school with tonnes of work and tests?Well, with good friends at your side, you just take it anyway, maybe with a rant or two.The hols were great, but I'll bet school term will be better! Stand aside!
Life's so good! Exams are over, an end to two things I've come to hate with all my being:
One, CHINESE.
Two, PROJECT WORK.
Need I say more? Actually. Yes, yes I do. Its the holidays, Student Leadership Camp 2009 for which I was the overall IC of is, thankfully, OVER, I don't really care about homework, I'm having so much fun spending time with my close friends and especially, God, and training has finally started again after about 6 months. So yeah, life totally rocks. :) Contentment is so satisfying. Is that statement redundant? o_o You know what I mean, I think.
Student Leadership Camp - seriously blood sweat and tears for me for the past one and a half months, organised by 12 students (SPORTSXCEL 09/10!!) for about a HUNDRED campers over at a bare beach out-in-the-wild campsite in Pulau Ubin - was a smashing success in the end. Hours and hours spent on planning and worrying and not-sleeping totally paid off BIG TIME man. Hardest time in my life, ever. Seriously. No joke.
Let's see, what else to blog about? Oh yeah, my mum's slowly recovering from depression, that strong woman. But sucks to see her always sick, now that her immune system's really down due to the depression. Keep going mum!
Oh crap, it's so late now. Have training tml. Shitttt. Out.
Rant rant rant.
So many people complicating my life. As usual.
The same group of people. As usual.
Just like ummm... what, 3 years ago?
Yeah, always have to be them.
God, help.
I don't know.
Am I making the right decision?
Pure crappy life.
Unified in Praise.
let yourself feel. from Esteban Diácono on Vimeo.This is super awesome. So relaxing...
I'm getting overworked.
Seriously.
AYG, naggy chinese teachers,
outstanding chinese hw, project work,
homework all rolled into one HUGE bundle of freaking stress.
Hate it. HATE IT.

Singapore's my home now. It doesn't matter where I was from or where my parents are. I'll always be here. My God, family and my friends, they make up my life, and that will never change.
