Today is a really screwed up day. totally upside-down. Let me begin, first thing in themorning I was late for school, then screwed up my chinese test. And the worst thing is that my invigilator is Dr Chionh. Its like OMG. First she has attitude problem and has PMS almost everyday and super strict. our chinese test was only 50 minutes while others get 1 hour. This is pathetic! I was super pissed with her. then again, she keep rushing us to pass up the greenwave project and threaten that she will minus 2 marks. I din even want to hand it up for competition, what rights does she has to force me to join. Didn't get to eat recess,stomach was growling throughout the day. Then somemore had bio quiz which I didn't study, hope i can get full marks. Another bad thing happened. Had Dr Chionh's extra lessons after school. It was super boring! Bloody. Then my monitor absent and I had to help him do all the stuff he left behind. The collection of money to pay for a shirt and then still need to go here and there for admin stuff. Kao... You think this is everything? NO of course not! Played basetball in afternoon, and its my offday. Totally out of form, cant even play properly. Got so pissed and frustrated due to all the things that happen, that I ended up saying alot of "s" words, was on the verge on saying the other word but I controlled. However thats not the point, the thought of saying it is there and its still a sin. Im really sorry God, I ask for your forgiveness ): then later played a small match with the C boys and once again I couldn't played properly, was too tired already and couldn't defend properly. Ended up pulling the team down. Guess I need even more training. After training, went to the vending machine to buy a drink. And I tell you, that machine hates me! I put in 50 cents it didn't want to accept, so I went to exchange coins. This nvm, the bad thing is that it ate up my money! no drink came out! Got so frustrated that I kicked the machine. Its totally a NONSENSE day! Everything is turning against me. But owells I guess I will just take a sleep and hope that the next day would be a better day.

these few days was a very stressful one indeed. so stressful that i almost went crazy. moday was a chao long day. had lessons till 3.15. then was rushing work here and there but not so bad. but i was late for school that day. went to anglican high to film the match against ngee ann. it was suppose to be a low profile thingy but in the end got spotted by a megalifer aka anglican girl basketballer. its like... oh my gosh. then later another auntie came and asked me what school im from. then she guess correctly! its like how does she know la. does my face write "raffles" no right!? anw, it was a good match but anglican still won as expected. but no worries, my juniors will crush them.

today, was a even more stressful day then yesterday. this time i was rushing my work throughout all the lessons! there is chinese compo, english essay, chem assignment etc. could not take it la! but luckily the day is over. phew! finally can take a short breather. tmr still have to hand in green wave project. unreasonable geog teacher. but owells, just my luck. the only thing good that happened today was training! had a real good and fun time! ran 3.2km, was suppose to be 4km but then the teacher chased us out cause they need to use the track for NAPFA. was a little unhappy, cause today my body was in top form, like burning, infinite amount of energy. the feeling was totally wonderful. then went to gym, felt good too! can feel myself growing stronger. yes! i need to train harder if i want to be in the JC team. jiayou aaron! haha self encouraging. need to refine my moves even more though. later... went to eat dinner quite late and yup reached home at 9.30. whoo. very tired now. tmr is the C boys south zone finals. hope they can get first in zone! supporters are most welcomed!

Joy's bedtime story... -.-

Does a caged bird yearn to fly into the sky?

It happend a long time ago. A very, very long time ago. Mankind created wings that enabled them to fly higher than any bird. They flew up and headed for the stars. But God frowned upon it. He thought that if mankind was left alone, they would consume the stars. To him, men were like vicious birds who preyed on one another. God decided to capture the birds and preserve them... By placing them inside a cage. But people rebelled against God. A lot of people who resisted died. Mankind was going to be extinct then. Thats why... God placed people into the cage. Although they were caged, God took extra precautions so that they would not notice that they were in a cage. As long as they did not know there was a sky out there, the caged world was everything. But...

God knew he was wrong and unlocked the cage, and told the people... "The door has been opened. Humans... I will give back your freedom, a new land and a real sky. There will no longer be any prophecies. From now on, cooperate, and walk your own path. God does not exist in the roof above you, but inside you. You must spin your own future, now."

THE END

(P.S. this story is totally fiction)

Even if everyone can live safely inside the sealed world, I think its wrong. Even if someone picks the wrong path, thats a path they chose on their own. And since you can pick your own path... A world where you do not have control of your own destiny is wrong.

Not much progress though, slack here and there and end up with nothing much done. thats why I'm rushing now ): life is tough -shakes head- went to church. late again... I got to change this bad habit. but its not totally my fault. ): someone was eating so slow and blamed me somemore. but nvm Im kind! after that was area gathering... as usual it was okay, but I made up my mind of following my leaders. cause I shall believe what sherron said "believe your leaders no matter what, even if they bring you to the wrong path and say Sorry, lets go back and walk another path" had dinner really late ): then shaun fetched me home and enlightened me about stuff like relationships (:

YOUTH ALPHA.

then when going home received a really wierd letter, wonder if its for me. found it on the floor. wonder how it appeared there. "CHRIS" was written on the front of the letter. maybe its for Chris or maybe its from Chris. and another wierd thing is that it does not write who is it for or who is from. Gosh. but maybe its for me, cause there is a sentence inthe letter which says "I admire your tall height". But lets not let such things bother me. (:

2005-07-07T05:50:00.000-07:00

decided to start blogging about my life, instead of just writing about stories and dreams. the 7th of July... its a thursday and thursday means its slack day. It was suppose to be Research Education (RE) but its replaced by NE lunchtalk. Nevertheless its still slack. The lunchtalk was fun! especially with Tan Chiou Yen (my form teacher) sitting beside me. She caught me sleeping during the talk twice and everytime I woke up, I saw her poiting a cutlery at me. Scary... and said "you dare sleep one more time". phew lucky I didn't sleep for the third time, if not that knife is gonna kill me. Talk alot of crap with her, ray, kenny etc. Its really fun. And we gave her a nick... which is "*** ***" better not let her see if not... goodbye aaron. After the talk, went with ray to support gymnastic. gosh those girls sure know how to dress up! made me so malu. as to why I was malu... im lazy to write haha. RI and RJC got first whoohoo.

11.53pm dream

on the 4th of july, I had this really wierd dream while I was taking a nap at around 6pm or 7pm plus. The details of the dream I shall skip (mainly cause I couldn't remember everything that happened in the dream, just bits here and there) but the important part is that the last part of the dream, I took out my handphone and the time reads 11.53pm. The thought suddenly came to my mind "Im dead! I have yet to finish my work!". The next moment, I woke up! Shocked... I look at my clock beside me... it reads 11.53pm.

Ice and Dark

There were two boys whom a girl, called Freedert, was friends with, when she was little. Elliot and Kael... The three of them were always together. However, at some point, Elliot and Freedert became attracted to one another.

Freedert: We'll be together forever.
Elliot: Yes, I promise.

Kael found out about it and jealousy and anger arose within him. Soon, the war began. Freedert gave Elliot a sword to protect him.

The morning he has to leave... Elliot asked Kael, his best friend, who he believed could be trusted, to look after Freedert.

Elliot: I'll be back as soon as I can. While I am gone, look after Freedert.
Kael: Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll protect her, no matter what.

However, Kael was madly in love with Freedert. Enough to make him hate his best friend. Kael went to the work of art that had been handed down in the villlage, the Second Hand of Time, believed to be the guardian of time., and made a forbidden wish.

Kael: Please, stop Elliot's time! I know that I'm wrong to ask this, but I don't want Freedert to belong to him! If Elliot dies in battle, I'm sure Freedert will...!

Elliot took a spear in the back and died in battle. That spear had the shape of a giant second hand. Hearing this, Freedert prayed to the Second Hand of Time.

Freedert:Please give all of my time to him.

Kael never thought that it would lead to the death of his beloved Freedert. When Elliot, back to life because of her wish, returned to the village. he saw a cold gravestone with Freedert's name carved upon it. Elliot went to the Second Hand of Time and...

Elliot: If it is her light that is giving me life, I return this light to her.

Elliot used the sword that Freedert had given to protect him, and stabbed himself.At the foot of the Second Hand of Time where Elliot fallen, the sword emitted a strange light...

As for Kael, the Second Hand of Time took control of his time, as he had made a forbidden wish. He continually suffered from regret and despair. Then after writing this story as a way to pass the story down and as a confession, he was finally allowed to die.

Nobody notices but... Love. Hate. There is magic in people's feelings.

2005-07-02T12:46:00.000-07:00

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the falmes, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protect, always trust, always hopes, always preseveres.

Love never fails. but where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where thereis knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a childm i talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remains: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
