Hmm read Ling's blog just now. n Kit's n Feng Yi's n Joseph's n erm in fact everyone's la basically. hmm trying to copy the cun zai score out now. is it cun2 zai4 or chun2 zai4. bah wad's the dictionary for. I dun care. lazy to take it down to check. I'll find out some day. bah.
Ling wrote a lot la... of her talking to winnie the pooh... after reading all the "questions" that she posed... I kinda thought a lot abt it too... being in this 1st world country (we'r 1st world country rite? or maybe itz 2nd. who cares) we've kinda forgotten the very little things that bring us joy... probably cos they'r there all the time n we take them for granted... like being healthy, having a roof over our heads, having food to eat, clothes to wear, chance to study, electricity, water, having a family that loves u, being able to walk n talk n hear n see... we take all these for granted dun we. I mean just look at the way we eat. look at my jnrs.
me: eh dun waste food leh.
sec 2s: very full liao. really cant finish.
then they go take out smth else to eat. cant finish wad. very full wad. I was very disgusted I'm telling u. the only thing I din eat was the cucumber n the chicken skin. k I admit I dun dare to eat cucumber. cucumber phobia. many yrs ago I ate one n there was a dead fly on it n I nearly ate the fly as well. phobia. but honestly I hate it when pple dun finish their food. or at least 80% of wad's on their plate. the remaining 20% shld be visible fats n bones I guess.
Makes me think of all the lovely places in Singapore that we once had. the old Chinatown, the National Library, the Hougang n Yio Chu Kang from my childhood, the old building of my primary sch etc. huh one minute the government say must preserve our national heritage. n the next minute, or rather at the same time, they'r like tearing buildings from our heritage to make way for new ones. like now they'r planning to tear down Ang Mo Kio rite? wad abt the little shops there? old so wad. do they know those places hold so many beautiful memories for a lot of pple? no they don't. they dun care. they want to make money wad. wad preserve our national heritage. ur the ones who started this whole thing n yet ur tearing down almost everything of our national heritage. wad's ur fucking problem. social studies la. wad's the pt of taking social studies when ur removing the things that foster that sense of belonging. u r all fucking bastards. I dun care if u assholes find this blog. I dun care if ur reading this. u ought to know. U OUGHT TO KNOW HOW THE PEOPLE REALLY FEEL. WE DIN VOTE FOR U TO LEAD US TO SEE U TEAR DOWN THE PLACES WE LOVE OK. WHO CARES ABT TOURISTS. WAD TOURISTS WANT TO SEE IS SMTH EXOTIC SPECIAL TO OUR COUNTRY ONLY. NOT SOME SHIT HIGH RISE BUILDINGS. THEY WANT TO SEE THOSE CAN STAY IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. u fucking bastards dun know a thing. u think ur so great? listen to this. UR NOT OK. u have no right to tear down these buildings. so wad if u own the land. u dun own the people ok. u dun own the hardship, the sweat, the tears n blood they put in to come this far.
Makes me wonder why people migrate. maybe cos there's nth left here for them to hold on to. if even the places holding their memories are gone, wad's the pt of staying? might as well go to some place where new memories can be created, N remain engraved in time. y not?
Huh charity shows. yes they'r gd. can raise money. then u go organize some wad star awards shit. n the money goes into ur own pocket. y not use this money from the calls for charity? whether or not itz for charity, pple r still going to call anyway. so y not use it for a gd cause? still say wad the people's voice matters. people write in to request for the preservation of the National Library. in the end? itz still going to be torn down rite. wad's the pt wad's the pt. there's no pt at all. the government won't listen anyway. wad they'r concerned abt is their own pockets. the money that is going to come in. huh or rather the "face" problem. mian4 zi3 wen4 ti2. we get so many foreign atheletes to play for us for wad? local atheletes not gd enuf meh. look at our table tennis team n our swim team. look at the diff in nationality. wth. our local players are much better ok. y waste money in this kind of "investments". we have many local talents k. wad's with the foreign talents thing. there r already not enuf jobs for locals ok. we dun need extra pple to come fight for jobs here. n y r they the ones getting the jobs. huh y r they held in such high esteem. when locals go overseas to be the "foreign talents", we get looked down upon. pple see us as shit. then y do we still look up to those so called better ang mohs. wad's the pt. u see them the cow dung as gold, pple see us the gold as cow dung. wad's the pt.
I dun want to stay in Marine Parade anymore. PM's land so wad. look at the kind of shit standard we have here. huh workers whole day come n dig up the road to do dunno wad shit. yr in yr out itz liddat. look at our lovely cc. the roof design is so fabulous the rain was just pour in like a waterfall n we cant train on the courts anymore. pple dun noe how to drive, pple anyhow walk super slowly n in all directions (ie cant walk str). give me a place with more standard can? even the land with opposition is more "competitive" in a sense n at least there's warmth. there's no warmth here. so wad if there's east coast park. so wad if we have the sea here to regulate the temperature. there's no warmth. smtimes it gets so freaking cold... wad's the pt.
Smtimes the world seems so ugly... too ugly... sports arent proper anymore... n I'm not talking abt drugs. the spirit just seems so different. look at silat. our oppenents just dun want to fight proper la. martial arts is abt facing ur opponent n putting in a gd fight. not kick then run away. wad kind of fighting is that? y arent pple having babies? cos there's no pt. wad for bring them into this ugly world to suffer? y are there pple starving to death everyday n at the same time pple giving dogs the best they can. dog clothes, dog food, dog "necessities". gou2 zui2 li2 tu3 bu4 chu1 xiang4 ya2. gou3 nu2 cai. all of them. y r we killing so many wild animals n plants. the world belonged to them until we took over. Mother Nature gave us her best gift, her children. y r we killing them. y do we think that we're so dem smart we can exploit the earth n her resources. y do we think "itz ok this might bring problems but we can handle it. no sweat. xiao3 shi4 yi4 zhuang1" then the hole in the ozone is getting bigger n bigger n the polar ice caps r still melting n the animals r still facing extinction n the poor r still starving n dying n the environment is still getting more n more polluted n yet the buildings n wadnot r still coming. WHY IS THAT SO.
Come to think of it, is advancing in technology really so gd? is earning more n more money all there is to life now? the world used to be a beautiful place. but it is ugly now. n is still getting uglier. technology has made life better for us. has it?

Inunion, Band Break n Hols
Ok back after erm a few days of not blogging. I'm getting lazy. ok fine wadever. Hotmail is still blo**y screwed. I HATE IT. tmd. hmm hmm. k shall start with Inunion.
Me n Priest were the grp leaders of our grp. wah weird pair I shld say. ok fine we were in the same react grp this yr as well. n erm for react we just walked next to each other in silence. Inunion was better. seeing me scream at all the station mistresses trying to bribe them. ahaha. Ok this yr's theme was fruits. yes lovely fruits. we had to play games USING the fruits. demmit. then my lovely grp was called LYCHEE. n ling drew nice beautiful erm "lychees" on our arms n insisted we called them lychees. wah then ching come up n ask us "Eh wad's ur grp? Peach ah?" n dunno who else "is ur grp apple?" then priest said "woah lovely cherries we have on our arms." jian3 zhi2 shi4 TAI4 BANG4 LE4. Ling I love u sia. hoho demmit.
So in the end I came up with this super disgusting cheer that Priest had no choice but to accept since we were very desparate already. listen to this man. u'll puke. we pair up la. so itz me n Priest 1st pair, Karen n Yuh Ying 2nd pair, then Han xin n Emaline (shit how to spell) 3rd pair. ok. here goes. *takes deep breath*
1st pair: Is it an APPLE?
2nd pair: Is it a CHERRY?
3rd pair: Is it a PEACH?
All: NO! ITZ A... LYCHEE!!
yes go ahead n puke now all of u. eh itz original k. 1st station we had to get Hui en. who made us SHAMPOO OUR HAIR. with the shukubusu (shit my spelling) soap. which reminded me of react. hehz. sniffs my react entry is still on my old blog n the archives r bl***y screwed. then Hui en still made us do a shampoo advertisement? so we did the herbal essences one. yar forced yuh ying to do it. then the sec 2s do sound effects. yuck. totally gross. but it was dem funny. n hui en looked like she wanted to die. argh.
Then for Ling's station. my gosh I love Ling I'm telling u. we were up against Charis' grp. then we were late. so we cheered our stupid lychee cheer. then ling said she hated it. then we listened to Charis' grp's cheer. wah biang listen to it: Lee Ying Lee Ying ur the BEST! Lee Ying Lee Ying beats the REST! smth liddat. wah lau I was like "EH HOW CAN LIDDAT?!? BRIBERY!!!" then Ling told me to shut up. :(
Hmmhmm Ching's station was the funnest I guess. the newspaper one. we erm modified Joseph's "dem shuai4" cheer to "dem choi1". guess wad. Ching din like it! argh. eh itz a cool cheer ok. but the fighting on the newspaper was a bit erpz. considering that Kit's grp was so dumb (sry kit). first san lee got so excited she stepped off the newspaper to hit han xin. then kit lost balance, hopped twice n hopped off the newspaper. then min min stepped off the newspaper as well. I love u kit. hehz.
Then Yi Qing's station was some captain papaya thing. as in we play captain's ball with papaya. sh*t. then poor Karen, as the captain, kenna splattered all over by the papaya. hehz. then the whole place erm stank of papaya so much I nearly threw up. eek. then that stupid g*h le* k*a* ah. my gosh I thought she died somewhere liao. why couldnt she be transported to some ulu offshore island n tied to the bottom of a kelong? or get sucked to the centre of the earth n stay there? my gosh wad is her f*cking problem. we never said we were going to leave papaya n watermelon remains all over the sch rite. shit her. in the end we buried some of the pieces in the mud n kicked the rest into the drain. sh*t her. in the end we only had a little little bit of time to play water bombs. CURSE HER. I wish she's dead. yes I'm being very evil cursing pple but believe me she deserves it man. argh. I shall not elaborate or I'll die of a heart attack. CURSE HER CURSE HER CURSE HER.
Then after water bombing our whole batch stayed back to sing all the Inunion songs, as in Me n You (sec 1), Top of the World (sec 2) n I can't Smile Without u (sec 3) very very nice. man brings back many nice memories... then we practised batch dance erm very hastily. n very messily in a way. but it was so nice so nice so nice. :)
Then went with xh, kelly, yh n min yen to bathe in the ahem ahem toilet. yep. man u won't believe how clean it is man. really clean. erm no sacrasm intended. my gosh bathing makes pple look fatter. k shall not elaborate. *shudders*
Had section lunch after that... dunno la... section meals seem so sian now. not like my sec 1 section meals... those were really fun... now my sec 2s just talk to each other while I eat quietly... really miss my snrs... a lot a lot. n I wish SOME pple will just STOP saying I crush June Joo. COS I DON'T. wth. pissifying.
Then after band prac, stoned in the band rm listening to the trumpets talk... as in charis, constance n qq. yar. then I just stoned completely feeling very sleepy n drained. then the concert... man I screwed it up completely. I was like shivering a bit... had no energy to buzz properly... my hand bcame pretty numb n I couldnt really press the keys down completely, which made my playing sound even worse. n I screwed up nearly all my solos... esp for beauty n the beast... guess I was really freaking tired after merry widow. too energetic liao that piece.
Erm the batch items... flag n baton was surprising very nice. considering their playing was ahem ahem. yar very proud of u batons. :) then sec 2s' skit was quite funny. of cos the funny part couldnt match up to our batch skit. hehz. but san lee was soo funny!!! oh my gosh. then mr oura kept laughing. :D yay. but the lighting was a bit erpz. the transition wasnt really smooth. but jasmine chua was so cute as pck. just that the mole kept falling off n she was like "eh wait ah" n kept taking out new cocoa crunch to stick onto her face until she gave up. hehz. so cute. but our batch dance ah. ahem ahem. we went up trying to look cool. n I think the audience really thought we were going to do hip hop or smth. until we started dancing. hehz. there was momentary silence b4 the audience started laughing like mad. esp for the giving rose part. omgosh. hehz. but I did one or 2 parts wrongly la. 1st part was my own mistake, then 2nd part cos I was following ling n she did wrongly. haha. wad the crap. then finale song... after the music stopped our batch still did the rit n fp. like this:
I just can't smillllleeeeee withoooouuttttt.... YouuUUUUUUUU erm the fp went out of tune in the end but Mr Oura kept smiling n laughing! yes! so happy to see him smile at the fp cres. hehz. :)
Band break liao. din go for section dinner. expected actually. band break. nice long break. cant get into mugging mood. feel so sian doing holiday homework. I want to study. not do a bunch of shit homework. wth.

Hmm hope the time zone is correct now. ok wadever. who cares. hmm. read Joseph's blog just now. I guess itz kinda true la... how pple now dun really appreciate wad they have now... hmm pple seem to be in a reflective mood now...
I guess here in Singapore, where everything is so prosperous, in a way, we tend to take things for granted... having a tv, a computer, a handphone etcetc... I mean... even I cant imagine life without a computer for instance. We see students selling flags in the street n we siam until dunno where... we sell flags also just bao4 zhe4 yi4 zhong3 "aiya I want to finish this n get over it as soon as possible" attitude. like today, when me n my mom going parkway, kenna lan2 zhu4 by a lot of pple selling some dunno wad tickets la. n one of them, this guy, he was selling n SMOKING at the same time la. but honestly the way those pple sell tickets. si3 chan2 lan4 da3. ning4 ke3 sha1 cuo4 bu4 ke3 fang4 guo4. as in... it gets kinda irritating... esp when they come up to u n flap a booklet of tix in ur face.
Ok i started this entry like 2 hrs ago? n I've only written the 1st 2 paras? wth. k really no mood to write now I guess... just wanna say time really flies... I kinda regret not appreciating wad i had in the past... like now... itz only when Kelly gone for work ex so long that I really miss her... as in I really feel her absence la... can only see her on saturday? like see the sec 1s flag n baton then really miss my baton? n the snrs... see the sec 2s skit miss doing lighting... like now so fast I'm going to be sec 4 soon? one more yr left in sec sch... makes me wanna cry... like cadenza is next yr... n I was still like lamenting on wad a pity rg n ri backed out of outdoor scene? like y am I not treasuring the last cadenza I'll be having? y am I feeling wan3 xi1 for smth that wun happen?
Y am I only starting to appreciate sch now? y din I start treasuring wad I have in sec sch until now? ok I started treasuring the band since sec 1, but is it enuf? like I'll be leaving the band like in abt 7 more mths or so... then 2 more yrs in band in JC n that's it. there'll be nth left... only a memory... I'll miss my Donnie next yr when I leave the band... I'll miss my mouthpiece, which has followed me since sec 1? I'll miss my section area... n like now 3 posters fell off n I still havent done anything abt it? ARGH. can I BUY my mouthpiece, which is pretty old now, so that it can stay with me forever? pleeeeease qms? I really love my mouthpiece too much to let it go... like usually when the others upgrade instru their mouthpieces will change or smth... well i dun. from xiao ji li (e flat) to xiao 136 (b flat) to donnie (b flat) now, I've always been using the same mouthpiece...
Time really flies... 15 yrs have passed... my 16th birthday is in erm 4 mths time? 16... that's so old la... it seems like only yesterday I was like erm 9? but then at the same time, primary sch seems so far away... even further away than kindergarden? it seems like a long time since I started wushu... even tho' itz only been abt 3 yrs or so... it seems very long liao... almost as if I've been trg all my life... piano geng4 bu2 yong4 jiang3... music has always been part of my life... n it'll always be... I'll miss the band alot alot... I dun miss choir. not at all... but I'll miss the band... so wad if I'm not gd at sports? how can I have forgotten I still have my music? sports is anyone's game I guess... apart from sports geeks like me n my dad... but music... I mean honestly la... how many in this world actually have music in their hearts? with music, the world seems so beautiful... really beautiful...
K shall go sleep now. itz 1230am? freak. there's still band prac tmr. argh. that makes it only 4 n a 1/2 hrs of sleep? wth.

Today's Band Prac was really cool. honestly. but at first Mr Oura seemed quite pissed with us. eeks. we did Beauty n the Beast today. n he got pissed with the beginning part la. arnd there. even bass players also kenna scolded. haish.
Then he drank the water we got for him. man when he picked up the bottle the label fell off? so spastaded. then it took him some time b4 he managed to open it. man his expression was dem funny when he drank the water. it was a kind of "eww what is this" expression. hehz. then he told us "orh... indonesian water..." then he made he made the kind of "eh?" face. so funny!! yup then the tension kinda broke la. n Mr Oura was in a gd mood. :D
Beauty n the Beast went relatively smoothly after that, apart from my section getting scolded for playing too loud at "Beauty n the Beast", the horn solo part. then he was like "TUBAS! u play so loud for wad? do u know who plays the melody here a not?!?" then I was like "Horn." but he din hear!! then he said we dunno who's playing the melody. I KNOW OK!!! IT WAS A FRENCH HORN SOLO!!! yuan1 wang4 ah4!!! haish. I think that was the 1st time in dunno how long we got scolded for playing too loud? hehz. I like Charis' solo!!! ok fine itz only 2 bars, but itz so nice!!! ok Xiao Han ur solo was nice too. :D I also got "solo" yar wad itz marked on the score: "one player only". hehz. ok fine. nvm.
Oh yar then halfway thru' the piece rite, all of a sudden Mr Oura started singing? guess wad he sang man. u know the song is supposed to be "Tale as old as time, Song as old as rhyme, Beauty n the Beast" yep. then Mr Oura sang: "Beauty and me...." OMGOSH HE IS SO DEM CUTE. but I couldnt really hear from the back. it sounded like "Beauty n 'd'" then stop. so it turned out it was "Beauty n ME" OH MY GDNESS.
Lalala. then did Merry Widow... I screwed it up la. was very tired after trying to play loud enuf to be heard for Beauty n the Beast. argh. then my hand kept shivering. wth. but I guess this means I'm trying hard enuf. too hard in fact. usually when I overstrain I'll just blank out for a while n my hand will start shaking. ok fine that was in sec 2. k fine nvm. omgosh I cant play at figure 16 la. the perc soli. wah biang Mr Oura wants the string bass part to be played? n itz pizzicato? on a tuba? then after band prac I went to ask him how he wants it to be played. so now I more or less know how I'm going to play it properly la. just hope that for Inunion I wun blow n only air comes out. no note. that's been happening to me recently. sigh must go train my diaphragm. sit ups! ok fine out of pt. hmm maybe itz cos I'm using my strength wrongly... that's y I keep mispitching during Merry Widow... hmm. maybe I shld focus my strength more on arnd my lips n my diaphragm. *nods*
After band prac watched the sec 2s' skit. omgdness itz so freaking funny. the expressions on the sec 2s' face was really very comical. hmm but maybe they shld try to say their lines without laughing. ok I shall not elaborate on their skit... if u want to know wad their skit is like u'll have to wait till Inunion. :D
Then watched the sec 1s' flag n baton. I guess they improved quite a bit la. but of cos there's still rm from improvement.
Finally our batch dance! hehz itz really very very cute. I'm serious! yar basically it was just Ling n Ching doing in front n we just follow. wah biang I cant believe we actually managed to catch it so quickly. hahaha. then after we did it abt once or twice, all of us were just roaring with laughter. then me n xiao han were rolling on the floor cos we couldnt stop laughing. man. so loser. rolling on the floor. how undignified. I think the only real risk our dance possesses is not that we'll forget the steps. u just need to follow the others. hehz. the real danger is that we'll be so bz laughing we cant dance at all. man. haha. ya1 zhou4 hao3 xi4. check it out. woohoo I just love our batch dance. n we only started learning it today? hehz so proud of us. keep it up pple! :)

Ok I know JC Band Fest was yesterday. but when I got home it was already 1030pm? so freaking tired I just couldnt blog. ok so I'm blogging now. obviously. argh.
Hehz u noe we paid $10 n we got $15 tickets? in the gallery. erm we sat there during a tempo for the 1st half of the concert. yep. me n qq think that those seats r the coolest. so near the band. but Ginny thinks that those seats r the suckiest ones n that esplanade/nie cheated our money. hehz. yar we sat behind the trumpets. haha at first I thought itz the different JC bands play one by one? then I was wondering wad will happen to RJC band since they're so small to start with n they have missing players. well guess wad. all the bands combined together n then they were divided into 4 bands, each named after a famous composer. I only remember Hadyn n Liszt at the moment. yep. so my worries were for nth. hehz.
1st band had Ginny! yar. n that Kah Chun person who is so freaking zai la. man his trumpet is so... I dunno beautiful? ok fine wad an adjective. pls excuse my lack of vocab. but his trumpet is really very nice. itz gold n very shiny. n his solo is... wah. I dunno how to describe. but it was so loud n so dem nice.
then the conductor was Mr Richard Adams. took me very very long b4 I realized why he looked so familiar. He conducted this brasses workshop for us b4 when I was in sec 1/2 I think. no wonder. hehz. I only realized that after the concert? wah biang. so loser.
but I think the 1st band's pieces were rather serious la. quite.
2nd band (Hadyn) had Tian Yi! hehz. y I sound like... dunno. nvm. k it was this japanese conductor la. cant remember his name. but he was so cool!!. kz. then this band's songs r more lively. n I felt very high listening to them play. hehz. esp the 1st piece. dem nice. then 2nd piece was some Irish dunno wad I think. then Teng Kok had this very nice solo. I like the way he plays his flute. his elbow comes up. hehz. I saw this professional flautist play b4. his elbow comes up too. ok out of pt. nvm. then their last song was On the Mall. yep. at first I was thinking "shopping mall". but it turns out that this "mall" refers to some dunno wad thing. smth to do with military stuff. cant really remember. then the band played it the 1st time, sang it the 2nd time n whistled it the 3rd time. oh man u shld have heard them singing. so cute!!! :) yar. oh man this is my favourite band. >.<
3rd Band's conductor was the Tales of the Sea composer. ok FINE I CAN'T SPELL HIS NAME. then all 3 pieces were composed by him? wah conducting the pieces u wrote. so cool. this band had the most snrs with dyed hair. Kah Hua was in this band.
Last band had Joseph n Xiao Hui! hehz. the pieces were quite cute la. the last one was this italian song called (when translated) ice cream n (or is it with) coffee. wah biang made me hungry. ok outta pt once again. but Joseph is really freaking tall. my gosh when he stood next to Xiao Hui it was pretty erpz. quite scary. then when Xiao Hui hold her tbone (while standing), the end of the slide rests on the floor. when Joseph holds his tbone (while standing), it hovers in mid air? like the instru looks so small when he's holding it. hehz.
I cant remember which band Shi Feng was in, but she was very gd too. hehz. ok fine I admit I cant hear her! but she looked very pro. hehz.
Then after the concert me n qq went to find the snrs to give presents. oh man Ginny din recognize qq?!? yep cos she rebonded her hair mah. then Ginny had the kind of "huh?" expression on her face when qq gave her the present b4 she realized it was qq. hehz. so funny. then Chia Ling looked very very shocked when she saw qq. then she started screaming. hehz. n Xiao Hui also looked very shocked. it took Kah Hua another 5 minutes or so b4 she realized that qq was qq. hehz. she looked even more shocked. hehz.
Hmm. Shi Feng seemed quite surprised that I still remember her. when I called her she was like "Oh my gdness u still remember me?". hmm does that mean she still remembers me or not? siok teng says it means not. haish. then Joseph also looked quite shocked when I called him. cos I was like "JOSEPH STOP!! WAIT WAIT!!" then he started laughing. hehz.
Then for some reason Teng Kok kept walking up n down n up n down n he kept staring at us. cos we looked quite silly standing there going "where's Chia Ling?" "where's Kah Hua?" etc etc. but then I think he looked a bit ke3 lian2 la. for some reason. k nvm.
Hmmmhmm some crap stuff. Joseph seems taller than the last time I saw him. Shi Feng seems erm shorter? then Teng Kok's eyes seem bigger. haha. okok I shall stop being lame.
Then it was quite funny la. see all the girl snrs laden with flowers n presents, besides carrying their instruments n bags. then the guy snrs leh. just their instruments n bags. full stop. quite sad la. they never get presents from their jnrs.
Then Ginny talked for 1/2 an hr to me n qq. erm actually she did the talking. we just listened n nodded our heads. haha. the rj snrs r so cute! omgosh. they'r so funny! the things they do. awww. ok ok.
Erm then later went Raffles City to eat dinner with siok teng n yuh ning. had awful stomach ache n head ache for some reason. haish. as in I dun noe y i had a headache. but I have a kind of idea as to why i had a stomach ache. must be never shou1 gong1 properly again. dan1 tian2 area hurt like mad. it felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife. ouch.
Gave my programme booklet to Chia Ling. a bit sad la. but for a snr, anything is worth it. then Xiao Hui looked like she wanted to kill me cos at first I din want to give any of them. then in the end I gave to Chia Ling. *sheepish grin* but qq agreed to give me hers! yay. thx qq. ur the best. lalala. I want to listen to JC Band Fest all over again!! :D

Well on my way home from tuition today, me n dad were watching this soccer match on tv mobile. singapore vs mymmar. of cos I think singapore kenna trashed in the end la. when I reached parkway it was 2-nil to mymmar n there was only abt 10 minutes left to the game. sure die la. unless got miracle la. last SEA games we also kenna trashed by mymmar. erm actually I hafta admit that mymmar is a very strong team. but that's not the pt. the pt was how the game was played by singapore. it was BAD. not say I wanna downgrade my country. but honestly, it was pretty awful. then there were like abt 5-10 wud-be-goals. the player is so freaking near the goal post la. n not much obstruction. then they kick the ball towards the sky wad. I mean like HELLO. the net is IN FRONT of u. NOT in the sky? wth. then ah. dunno wad the defence is doing la. itz literally non-existent. then my dad thinks their basics is not even there. I hate to admit it, but itz quite true la. the players can control the ball ok. very gd at turning 360 degrees turns with the ball still in their possesion. then they pass the ball to the OPPONENTS wad. if not itz they pass. then guess wad? THERE'S NO SUPPORT PLAYER. so the ball either gets into mymmar's possesion or goes out of the field. argh. I mean itz very sad to hear the commentator say stuff like "OH MY GDNESS I DUN BELIEVE THIS!", "OH NO WHERE IS THE SUPPORT?", "well singapore only has themselves to blame.", "OH his aiming is off AGAIN!" n stuff liddat. itz very very sad la. n itz demoralizing. wth. ok fine the news just reported we lost 2-nil. so we have to beat m'sia in order to stay in the games. my dad isnt very optimistic abt it. m'sia is a strong team isnt it?
Then my dad was telling me how the dunno who minister la. say wad other countries buy other countries' players to play for them n we can do the same too. He thinks players can be bought on the streets is it? 3 for $10 ah? transfer fees of players leh. we're talking abt MILLIONS of pounds here ok. bullshit. still say wad singapore getting into world cup 2010. now we cant even beat our own neighbouring countries wad makes u think we can come up against teams like Brazil n England? I mean face it la. instead of trying to buy players, (who probably wun be much good if they have to end up coming to singapore) y not spend the money on getting a world class professional coach to brush up the team's skills? y not make our OWN local players into excellent players like michael owen n ronaldo? y waste money importing foreign players?
N my dad told me ah seng uncle's son is in national bball team la. they're supposed to get $15 allowance every trg. n even that $15 also can owe for wad 2 or 3 mths b4 they actually GET the money? then they win some match n they get wad. MILO. ok that one not very sure. either milo or some milo sponsored stuff. wadever. itz dem sad la. n they wad import some china players who r not even gd. in the end one yr later the china players get sent back to china. wad a waste of money.
K our swim team. u see Joscelin Yeo. U cant deny she's gd la. she's excellent lor. "Singapore's Golden Girl". in the end the country just take it for granted she confirmed everything win one wad. then last SEA games she lost the gold medal for 50m freestyle. n the media had to make such a HUGE FUSS OVER IT. I mean ok she lost one gold medal for an event she's been winning since 1993? but she won 3 other events wad. u cant say just bcos she lost one event she's no longer gd. at least she still holds the SEA games record for that event. n our other swimmers did well too wad. new golds, personal bests, records r broken... how come not much is mentioned abt them?
Then our atheletes really go pin1 very hard one lor. anyone can tell that. then they win a few gold medals let's say. itz only counted as one gold la. then they train so hard they get a medal. ok u get gold government maybe reward u a bit la. give u some money n that's it. u see m'sia. u get a gold medal rite. u get a bungalow, u get lots of cash n u get a plot of land ok. see wad our local atheletes get. n still the government prefers to be more proud of our imported atheletes. wth. how do u expect local atheletes to really produce results if this is the kind of shit u give them? they try so hard is this all ur going to give them? r "local goods" really no match for "foreign goods"?
One person we're quite familiar with. Ang Peng Siong. one of singapore's star swimmers of the past. when he was an athelete he din get much wad. now he's a coach at least he can earn a living n still be involved in the sport he loves.
I mean. itz not pt just SAYING u care for our local atheletes lor. must have some xing2 dong4 to prove it rite. look at Tan Howe Liang. Olympics Silver. itz possible for our present atheletes now. n I'm referring to the LOCAL ones. no pt just foreign players like Li Jia Wei or Jing Jun Hong bringing back the medals rite. wad abt our other players? they'r as good if not better than them la. dun support the atheletes just bcos they can bring back medals to reflect well on the country. sports is more than that. there's more to life than just winning. there's more to sports than just getting gold. yes getting gold is good. but shldnt playing sports have more than just aiming to get gold n nth else but the gold?
Ok I know that there will be pple who'll beg to differ with my viewpts, but then the above is purely just my opinion n represents no company's or whoever's stand. yep. to sum it up, all I'm saying is, give our local atheletes more chance. relax on the foreign import. we have enuf local talent to support singapore's sports scene.
