well, i would really want to say we are the best, that we have finally won back the crown from nj.. but alas it was not to be and the trophy remains with the school across the road.. damn.. but den we have no right to complain because we were a distant runner-up, way behind nj. well at least it is a gd beginning, an improvement frm last yr when we only have one pathetic silver medal to show. and we finally moved one rung up to 2nd after 2 yrs languishing in 3rd spot. so hopefully, next yr will be our yr.. hopefully..
highlight of the day was k1 1000m, its the most exciting race cos hwachong won haha.. and won quite comfortably by this champion ex chinese high rower.. if only we have like a few more of him around haha..
end of the day.. the adage you reap what you sow stays true.. and nj truely deserved their 3rd title in 3 yrs.. it is a fact their training regime is the most punishing among the schools.. and their discipline and determination proved to be key factors to their victory. u would expect their junior team to be celebrating their team's success after a yr of hard work but no, right after the prize presentation, they would be deligently doing laps in the kallang basin, training for next yr's finals.. no one deserves it more than them.

today is money spending day.. bought my monthly disposable contact lens.. bought a billabong t-shirt.. bought rang & dale (pharmaco) and crossman & neary (neuroanat) at yunnan.. bought mrt concession.. den ate at pastamania.. i m broke!!
worse still, as i was walking towards somerset mrt, it started to pour so i started to walk faster den b4 i knew it, i realised my rockport sandals i bought a month ago have given way.. xin tong.. but surprisingly i still can walk in them. during medicamp, my watch strap also broke for no reason.. gotta spend money on repair.. argh.. there goes my hard earned money from working the graveyard shift at mos burger.
den again, material possessions are sheng bu dai lai, si bu dai qu so i shouldnt be too obsessed with it and be too stingy..
finally saw my net friend of 6 yrs lu shan zhen mian mu.. quite amazing, i knew her since secondary sch but we havent met at all until today.. had dinner at pastamania b4 she had to rush off for some course.. had a nice chat though.. seems that hall life is real fun and exciting.. guess i have to be content with life in the medical library haha..
put on contacts for the first time in my life.. still havent got used to it.. and i think i look rather diff without specs.. how to put it? i think i look rather.. raw.. haha i will get used to the look soon.. anyway, the vision isnt that clear bcos my astig in my right eye wasnt corrected.. probably got to change my right lens to toric ones.. that will set me back a sum of money again.. sigh..
tmr's national canoe finals.. really hope hwa chong can wrestle back the crown this time around cos we have been really poor the last 2 yrs.. goin down to support, i want to sing "we're the champions" tmr!!

oh yah forgot to thank my shi(1) jie(3) for advertising my blog.. thanks ah! i only wanted u to put a link only but u gotta specially add a comment abt my pink background..
whats wrong with pink? its juz another colour mah.. anyway to all guys out there, dont wear pink bcos according to feedback frm some female frens, they think that guys shouldn't wear pink.. we probably look a bit gay clad in pink haha..
anyway i started this blog for u guys to noe a bit more abt me and hopefully for me to noe a bit more abt myself too.. but i will probably not dwell too much on the sensitive issues la..
the theme of my blog is hope, faith and love..
hope.. meaning my hopes for the future, my dreams and aims in life..
faith.. faith in God, to grow in Christlikeness and to have complete trust in His plans for me..
love. love for everyone who noes me..

glad that i made full use of my day today..
went for a 8km run in the morning..
helped my mum tidy her bookshop and watched cute little kids come in and stare longingly at the huge array of stationery on display.. den one asked me, "uncle, what can i buy with 10 cents?" "erm.. nothing." haha so funny.. so cute.. sometimes u look back at your primary sch yrs and u realised those were really carefree yrs.. nothing to worry about.. nothing to brood over..
yup, den had a really good chat with my mum.. sometimes i wonder whats my relationship with my mum like.. at times i m really cross at her.. for not letting me haf my own freedom.. for not letting me make my own decisions.. for nagging at me over seemingly unimportant stuff.. but well when it comes to issues of life, i find it easier to correspond with her than with my dad.. how interesting? anyway we discussed several things, she gave me some valuable advice and insight and i think i felt better and i had a better idea of what is to come next..
den we went shopping and had dinner at mos burger, my former workplace.. finally tried the yakiniku rice burger.. wasn't as nice as i thought so guys, if u wanna try any rice burgers, i would recommend ebi and kakiage rice burger.. unagi is not bad too but it is a bit too small for my liking.. anw realised a lot of my former colleagues left already.. am i the reason? haha.. but well Ari, my Indon pal frm Bali is still there.. pity him.. doing closing 6 days a week, underpaid and overworked.. wish him all the best..
finally caught up with amazing race 4.. think its still the best reality show around.. this time i m rooting for the sisters pair, the one which one of them suffers from dwarfism.. gotta admire her guts and spirit!

life is about being patient and waiting.. waiting for a bus.. waiting for school to start.. waiting for school to end.. waiting to start our careers.. waiting for that big break.. waiting for someone.. for Christians, it is waiting for Jesus to come back..
some things u are waiting for, may never happen in your lifetime.. and some things u are waiting for and hope will happen, will never happen..
because many things are not in our hands so we have no control over it.. so sometimes it is futile trying too hard to make things work out your way because the end result has long been planned for you..
so be patient.. at the end of the tunnel, there is light.. some tunnels are longer, some are shorter.. well from the beginning, nothing has been made fair and nothing has been made equal...

heh, this is my first post.. actually not my first la.. i started 2 other blogs b4.. one i terminated it liao cos i realised i got nothing to write den the other one still exists but contents are sensitive and only for personal viewing hahaz.. i need some privacy mah. anyway this blog is juz to update myself and those interested on what's happening in my life loh.. i hope i will update it more often la.. no promises esp since sch is starting soon.. at least once a wk i hope.
first an intro.. basically i m a very simple guy la.. chinese high.. hwa chong.. pple say i am down to earth haha hopefully its a compliment.. den a lot of pple say i look damn blur.. maybe i am really blur but i dun tink i am la.. when i look blur, i m probably thinking abt stuff so i stare into blankness.. juz hope that i dont convey that sort of image to my patients next time..
yup anw, i m now in medicine.. many pple ask me y i m in medicine? i tell u its very hard to answer the qn bcos there is a certain answer people expect of u when they ask u tt.. personally i would haf preferred an overseas scholarship.. to study anything.. anything that allows me to get out of here and breathe the air overseas haha.. but well i couldn't get any so my second choice is medicine. i was juz trying lor.. din expect to get in so when i got the letter that had medicine printed in bold in the middle, it juz seemed the right thing to accept the offer.. i mean at least i dun haf to worry abt getting a job next time and its a noble profession.. helping people, saving lives.. so yup thats y i am here and i m staying here! 4 yrs to go before i become a houseman..
yup so much for a boring intro.. shows how interesting these 20 yrs haf been.
listening to fan wei qi's qi cheng.. xiang dao da ming tian xian zai jiu yao qi cheng.. i muz set off liao haha..
