DISCLAIMER: i did not make this website (hahah of course i'm an IT idiot.) and i don't mean any offence to any member of the raffles family. this website is just to spur hc ppl on! we want to win, who doesn't? (: so no matter rjc or hci, let's put up a good fight. may the better school win.

we need your support! come make history with us.

oh yeah and passerby, thanks for saying hctt rocks. but we already know it.

giving.

what a 'cool' template i had, as said by kwang guan. hahah and i thought it was a compliment. silly me. until i refreshed the page, i realised what papi was talking about. sigh. ignorance haha.
now it's better already. i need to find a new backup skin quick in case the image screws up again, since i'm not hosting it myself.

---------------------
pingpong season is coming to an end.. this year has been a bad year for hctt, but i'm sure we all learnt some lessons from our defeat. complacency.. kills.

we overuse the word "relaxing", and relaxing often leads us to our downfall..
when faced with some things in life, we can't relax. not even for a second. some things are more important than others. some things need to be held on to tightly. some things.. we can't lose.
and when the time comes to be serious, we have to be. i'm not just talking about table tennis, or any sport. i'm talking about life in general.

life's about giving. and when the time comes to give your all, would you? or would you be selfish or immature about it? is it not worth to give more?

i'm talking about relationships, sports, school, life. friendships, love, family.. glory, honour, pride. academics, play, social circles.. work, pay, kids..

and which of the few aspects of life i have mentioned above doesn't require us to put in effort? life's about giving.. giving time, energy, commitment, devotion, love, passion, money. or even our souls.

people say "life sucks."
yeah, it does. sucks away many things we possess.

fucker!

11:27 PM

some people, JUST DON'T LEARN.

what the heck. it's not as if im mean to you. i regarded you as my favourite junior once. guess i was horribly blind and wrong. like they say, eyes paste stamp.
you have no right to insult me. or the other 800+ girls in hwachong.
go take a look in the mirror. you think anybody likes you?
stop thinking you're some imba handsome/smart guy.
"i want to take 2H3s." haw haw haw. what makes you think you can do it when even the smartest people in our school can't? please wake up your ideas.
at least process your thoughts before you speak. oh yeah, empty vessels make the most noise.
stop acting like you don't have a girlfriend because "you can't pick any hc girls".
i think they don't want you, that's why. (:

i totally regret treating you nicely in the beginning. this is what i get.
doesn't pay to be nice, to you.

all i ask of you.

Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask Of You

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe, no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from you solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
that's all I ask of you.

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.

Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Say you love me...

You know I do.

Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you.
Anywhere you go let me go too
Love me...that's all I ask of you.

it's a nice song from one of my favourite musicals, Phantom Of The Opera. (: As a kid i loved musicals. Oklahoma, Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, Westside Story.. to name a few. but i especially loved Phantom Of The Opera. I have no idea why. they're coming to Singapore! whee. i'm so envious of shan. she gets to go. mum says she'll go watch with me, but i think the tickets are too expensive anyway. i'm feeling the pinch for her, afterall i spend so much of her money ):

block test results are coming back.. i dread physics. lucky i'm skipping physics tomorrow. i can escape the impending doom, for one more day. the other subjects aren't thaaaat bad. at least they aren't looking bad yet. i just hope i don't let my mom down. and myself down. some people are disgruntled even when they get a B while others are getting U's.. it's just a matter of expectations, i suppose. and i hope people can learn to accept the fact that there are people who have different expectations from you. don't alienate them just because they are 'freaks' who complain about getting a B.
to be honest, although i'm not a genius, i've had pretty good grades all my life. in major exams, that is. i've never gotten a band 2 in primary school, and i got 271 for PSLE. ha. it wasn't smooth-sailing in secondary school. i had my fair share of F9s for A-math and C6s for physics, but i got 8A1s for O's. Luck?
Probably. problem is, all this luck i've been having throughout my school life has been.. overwhelming. i guess sometimes i expect too much of myself.. and expectations have been unfufilled at times. don't say i'm ungrateful. i'm not. it's just like a habit that people develop. if i lose my exam luck during any major exam, i don't know what i'll do.
ahaah. some of you may think: aiyo haolian!!
but i don't think so. my grades aren't thaaaat owning. i'm just.. sharing something that has been troubling me for many years.. something that has been silently labelled as insensitivity and ungratefulness.

i haven't blogged in a long while..probably cause i don't emo so much anymore. okay, i do, sometimes. but generally i'm a happier person (: and you know why. hah.

"Anywhere you go let me go too. Love me.. that's all i ask of you." YYY
