A flashback of chinese interest...
A try at quality posting...
Chinese music...a more or less unappreciated art by most english-speaking families today. Strangely, me, or I, whatever, who was brought up speaking english every day of my life, studied in a pure english school which has major discrimination towards everything chinese related and almost everyone in the school sucking in chinese BAD, called st. michael's school a.k.a St. Joseph's Institution Junior. Together with my schoolmates i loathed chinese to the core and pissed my mother off whenever i made a discriminating remark on those CHEENA ppl(myself, yea but i realli hated chinese then). Couldnt help it... i was under heavy influences from environment...enculturation whatever.
Turning point came in pri 4 when i entered rosyth. There the chinese standard WAS SO FREAKING HIGH i failed initially... barely passed... and remained there... sucky results pissed me off more and i !@#$ing hated chinese. Chinese was the onli shit subject i didnt get astar in for PSLE and ruined my chances for RI GAH! Went to ACSI in which EVERYONE hATES CHINESE TOO!(except maybe chinese scholars but they dont count) but STANGELY... i took higher chinese... weird rite... i noe i dunno y too... There my Chinese teacher also known as XSH who some of my classmates blogged horribly abt and got punised to make public apology to the school...sorry digressing... Anyway the XSH completely didnt help matters but on my own i took an interest in chinese comics... read them... loved them... and bought stacks of em... not the crappy japanese manga but really nice CHINESE comics based on novelty novels by louis cha or 三国演义。yea started watching chinese shows like that and those wu xia xiao pian. Even those meaningless taiwan variety shows lol.
Then came the Chinese MUSIC yeA! CHEERS! Somehow i dunno y? and when? i suddenly stopped liking english music...the last english album i bought was blue:guilty which was like how many years ago... i started liking CHINESE MUSIC! Seriously i dunno y... even though i started liking chinese and am in higher chinese, my chinese really still sucks and my last mid year exam i onli barely passed... but i still like chinese music cos i feel it like connects u noe... maybe its the lyrics or the music(seriously doubt the music) but just being able to hear chinese in ur head instead of random shouting by LINKIN PARK(sorry no offense...everyone entitled to own tastes..no?) or just other kinds of angmoh music which just completely dont connect except for the music...in fact the onli english music i kinda appreciate are church hymns...yea go Catholics...and Christians/Protestants... We being chinese ppl living in a country completely westernised... its a sad fate but we can try to do what we can by connecting with our chinese sides... of cos there are many youths out there who speak chinese at home and have no problems with this.... but for the people around me i DO noe they are completely english and hate chinese... sucks for them..they dunno what theyre missing LOL! jk...jk... i sincerely hope that all chinese ppl in singapore who lived their entire lives in english try to become more of a CHINESE PERSON PLS... try appreciating ur own MT and race... no matter how much u americanize...oops shudnt relate onli to america...again... no matter how much u angmohnize urself ur still chinese inside...feel and reach out to ur inner self...to ur chinese pride lying dormant for as long as ur angmohnizede lives have been and live as someone who ACTUALLY is CHINESE. Of cos theres no harm in immersing urself in angmoh... all im trying to say is not to ONLI immerse urself in angmoh but also reach out to ur chinese side... actually u R pure chinese so there isnt a chinese side cos u R chinese... but nvm anyway dont be a banana(yellow skin on the outside,white inside) but be human...LOL random... cant think of a nice ending to this crappy post nobody full of contradictions and repeats nobody will read anyway...

posts lacking quality
o.0 realised my posts are getting shorter and and shorter and really random stuff. Obvious drop in quality...like this post...
Hockey hurts my hands
Shit dam hockey training... kept practicising shot corners with ME as the dragger.... almost broke my back having it straightened and my legs for squatting down in a shitting position... and damn the drag flick cant flick for nuts and got blisters on my hands for trying... hitting and stuff was ok but my shit grip is so damned thin i got horribly pained sore red palms from mass vibrations...
New chatbox
I somehow feel my old chatbox should be alot bigger to use its multiple functions but i cant be bothered to do it so i just got another chatbox for simpler functions...not that anybody comes to my blog anyway...
T_T
T_T my videos and blog are really unpopular and unknown... my videos got quite alot of views but almost nobody comment. sad im so insignificant

The Apocalypse Cut II
Actually this is a completely new cut but since the beginning and ending is similar to The Apocalyse i just name it The Apocalypse II since im lazy to create a new name. Its another top card retention(duh..its useless otherwise). I thought of it in one day and did the video same day which means incomplete mastery of the cut. Once i make a tutorial maybe ppl can do better than me...
Not enough music...
As i run through my music for cardistry videos i realise i dun haf enough fast paced music... i hardly listen to fast pace music and onli haf abt 2-3 songs for videos.... crap need to update my music collection

HOMEWORK T_T
T_T_T_T_T_T!!!!! It seems only yesterday when i left the school premises and rushed home only to engage myself in excessive dota gaming. Having been severely deprived of DOTA for weeks wasted on exams i completely devoted myself a 100 and 10% on gaming and stuffed massive amounts of EXCESS HOMEWORK to the back of my mind. Seemingly yesterday was the start of the holidays... today i just realised i have a stack of homework in my bag...shit... i dont have a calender with me now but i estimate abt 3 days left to do work meant for a month...shit...shit...shit...im in deep shit...shit...shit.... 4am exactly i realised i have work... what splendid timing i hope i wont forget it when i wake up later today...

Meaning once the new chapter comes out in Japan these guys make scans quick and put it on the site for viewing pleasure :). Too bad most of the series dont start from the beginning chapters. Therefore i encourage THIS website www.stoptazmo.com to download those series from the beginning chapters.

Heh... sorry its about 3am when i typed those posts below. Srry if the grammer is bad cos im sleepy and too lazy to edit hah...
NPCC !!!!!OMG!!!!!!!
NPCC also known as National Police Cadet Corps. ME? im in the Sea unit. A relatively unknown unit as there are only 3 units i think in the whole of Singapore. I hate...really hate this Uniformed Youth Organisation known as National Police Cadet Corps (Sea). This crap activity is on a Friday which is the last day of school for the week and has to last for 4 whole hours. Doing what? NOTHING BUT SLACK! omg if im doing a sport or sitting around in the library i have no problem with that. But doing absolutely nothing for 4 hours? That really, really wastes my life literally. My unit is the slackest crappiest in the whole school. Its so pathetic that we had 0 sec1 intake for the year and therefore it has been decided by the upper levels that the unit will be disbanded... NEXT YEAR. For now i have no choice but to tolerate one more year.... Please dun ask me why i even joined it in the first place, it is because my school requires every studeny to have one CCA and one UYO. Through some horribly unfortunate event of drawing lots i got picked for this UYO...
On to the topic at hand. Just having returned from my Church Camp, I have this NPCC course in my face from 8.15am to 5.30pm(supposedly ends at 5 but really ends at 5.30) for two days...................... The worse thing about this is that it is about POLICE KNOWLEDGE that i really dun care about... I purposefully slept through the whole thing without taking a single note despite warnings about how difficult the test would be. Why? its because i really couldnt be bothered to slog out almost 9 and a half hours wasting ink and paper on useless information i would forget the next day for what? a stupid piece of metal which has no apparent use to me as my unit will be disbanded next year. Sounds reasonable right? it sure does to me. In fact the only reason i actually turned up is so that i wont get a damned demerit point and meet the principal over a small insignificant matter like NPCC...
Please dun think im a horrible slacker and loser. I just really cannot stand NPCC because of its total uselessness to me and my life and the amount of hours wasted doing nothing. Besides this USELESS UYO i am very active in my other CCA.

SVDP June Confirmation Camp 2007
Just came back from a 3 day 2 nite camp at some random place which name i forgot. It was quite interesting to meet people from the other cathechism classes and mix around. Made one especially good friend Camillus who shared my dota interests. Unfortunately nobody except Malcolm shared abit of my card interests...sigh.
The camp was quite interesting i suppose and i believe i have grown spiritually stronger and closer linked to God. Heh being unknown and keeping to myself in a corner as "antisocial" had its benefits in a certain game called whacko where a person's name is called out. Camillus and I were just stoning in a corner chatting cos we knew our chances of being called were close to nil lol. Although i dun like being called antisocial EMO kia, i couldnt prove myself otherwise with my horrible socialising ability. Somehow i dunno why when i talk to someone in CHURCH, my eyes keep wandering away and i cant make myself look at that person...makes me and the other party feel stupid...sorry to those people...i cant help it i dunno why... im not sure if its lack of confidence cos i have no problems like these in school............ HELP ME SOMEBODY! i really want to be a more sociable person...
