经过一些根据好朋友评语的改进...
有人曾说过：“跟你越亲的人，就会伤你越多”。我不敢否认。
当你情绪低落的时候，她永远会在你身边支持你。但奇怪的是，当你情绪高昂的时候，她又是最能让你感到低落的人。这矛盾的道理，相信是只可意会，不可言传的。到头来，这只会让你满头雾水，不知所措。朋友，亲人，不是因该尽量体谅，尽量支持的吗？
朋友，亲人，可说是我们人生中的支柱。但在援助的过程中，一时的差错，可能毁了一生的友情。我并不怪她；只是，这件事真的让我深省：她到底有没有真正考虑过我的感受。坦白地说，我并不否认平时废话多多的我，有时会使她感到厌烦。但人与人之间的友情难道不能提高对对方的忍耐性吗？
我不知道。也许，答案就在于你手中。

Take heart, for we fought the better fight and won
Hey RIBT
We may have lost the gold to Monfort, but hey, we won the better fight. Today, so many things happened in such a blur we just have to take time to think about all these stuff. I keep referring to "won the better fight" so i'd better explain. I mean, ya sure, we lost the gold man. But we lost with pride. We walked outta the court, regardless of loss or win, with dignity. We held our heads high. We did our best and played our hearts out. We never looked back. Winning or losing doesn't really matter, now that we can tell ourselves, we didn't let ourselves down. That's most crucial, don't you think? So we lost, but the better fight, of respect, or honour, or pride, or glory. RIBT, we had it all today. So i'm glad we aren't walking outta this finals, knowing we didn't give our best in the court just now. We did. And we are proud of it.
Cheng Yuen: Just want to say a job well done for boosting the team's morale by taking the first point for RI just now. It really helped the rest of the team up their game. You really are an asset to the team and i hope you'll remain bonded with the team. Nice game just now with sleek shots and cool smashes!
Jey Sng: Hey it was nice knowing that we two went in there today and outperformed outselves man. Glad to know we had what it takes. Just gotta believe in ourselves huh? Will never forget this game i played with you for life. This was the first game i ever shouted so much in the match man. I'm actually surprised i had so much fire in me. Hope it was recorded so we can watch our game happily haha. Apart from the first game, i'm sure that was a match worth remembering. Hope this last finals can serve as inspiration for your future badminton (tennis) career haha.
Elvis: Hey it was good seeing you fight all out against Andrianus. I dun really know how to spell his name but ohwell. Ya hope you gained experience from that match and improve your game from now on!
Kern Hong and Keat Kee: Hey guys, it's alright! Seriously, we're a team so we don't blame you guys. Besides, it was heartening to see both of you "soh-ing" on court. You guys played beautifully, and you played your best. No regrets man. Get over this defeat and move on. Kern Hong, read the poster on your wall. haha. It's a poster which means something to us right now.
Roy: Hey though everyone was really disheartened after the second doubles lost, i felt really proud of you that you were still able to play one of your best games. Good luck in the future.
Ya to the rest of B Div, Sam Tan, Shi Jie, Isryad, Bryan, Leon, be proud of this awesome team man heh. Thanks for all the support you gave today and every other day from sec one onwards. For all the supporters who went down, hope we didn't disappoint too much!
Looking back, i really can't believe it's the end of my RIBT season days. Perhaps it's a cliche, but it really seems just yesterday that i rushed down to the old ri hall for dsa trials after higher chinese. I'll definitely remember this team and hope you juniors remember the sec4s too heh. C Div, it's your turn to shine now so train hard! We'll go down to help train you for your matches ahead!
Ya time for some reflection for me now. I've gotta get into a reflective mood now to envisage the time spent in RIBT over the past 4 years.
Seeyou la. And once again, take heart for we fought the better fight and won.

Finals tomorrow and we're gonna get the gold
Hey all shuttlers from RIBT, this post is specially dedicated to you guys man.
It's the finals tomorrow. We've been training so damn hard, taking so much shit (from You-Know-Who) and stepping up our game so much for the past years. Just wanna say, tomorrow, focus on doing your best and not on winning. Cuz the colour of the medal we get tomorrow doesn't really matter to us right? After all, the process is more important than the end product. I'm sure we guys emerge a team which holds one of the most special places in our hearts.
Ya so I'm just saying, whatever happens tomorrow, enjoy yourself and everyone in the team will be 100% behind us so take solace in that, if all else fails.
I came in in Secondary One, and truthfully, I never thought I'd be so attached to this team. We didn't have to do what we did for the team, but I'm just glad we did.
So tomorrow's SHOWTIME! Let's play our hearts out for this last finals (for the Sec 4s) we will ever have in RIBT, and show Monfort what our hearts are made of, show them what it took for us to get this far. Good luck to all of you, I'm certain we'll shine tomorrow, as Raffles Badminton!
P.S: can someone bring a good camera to take remembrance shots of our team? especially for the sec4s cuz this is our last game. i expect it to be quite, quite sentimental. heh.

finals on tues and some other stuff
Hi samching and krystel. you two should be doing work haha.
anyway, ya this post comes a bit late but we are in the finals! oh yea man. in the semis ribt beat sports school 3-2 and overall, we played quite well. finals against monfort on tues so the whole team's gearing up for that one. those injured shuttlers, must go and rest la. those sick ones, go take panadol or smth.
it's kinda sad knowing that this is gonna be our last finals representing ribt and though we've always been grumbling that we wanna get outta this team fast and all (cuz of the coach), it's really sad now that we know tuesday's drawing near. this is nothing to do with the team man. it's a special team which has given us lotsa memories to treasure.
oh by the way, i found out that i am "happy", one of the seven little dwarfs, in a facebook retarded quiz. this i find quite true.
hi bryan, who is reading my blog now. i think you're retarded.

it's kinda sad, today
things didn't really kick off well today. i mean, it all began with me forgetting to bring my ORA collection card already.
then i left for badminton competition (quarter finals last round robin match) and we had this prep talk thing with one of the PE teachers then he asked us to lie down on the gym floor and relax cuz we had to do breathing exercises to "calm our nerves" and he played really soothing music. so duh, sleep-deprived me fell asleep when he was asking us to do all sorta weird things with our lungs and chest cavity space blah blah. yea so after all that he asked us to sit up and everyone sat up, except me, of course, considering that i was fast asleep. so then bryan lim whacked my and he woke me up. it was really embarrassing cuz i sat up and went, "what"! then everyone was laughing cuz i really fell asleep. and even people like cheng yuen laughed at me lol. yea, embarrassing incident number 2.
after that i went for competition at tampines and we played against monfort who are really strong (cuz they import players from all over the world) yea. so considering that we were already into the semifinals (cuz we won all other quarter final round robin matches), coach said that we could throw this game. after all, we could take both boon lay or sports school (the other quarter final group). so we sent in our reserves to "show that they can play as well as the main team players" as quoted from the PE teacher as mentioned above. yea. so we lost 5-0. but we could tell that monfort was kinda scared playing with us. bad incident no 3.
ok digression now. yea since the monfort team imported so many players and since all the imports were like playing their 3rd/4th year in B div badminton, so i did a really long commentary on them and their character ( as i shall launch into now). i think that the imports are really devoid of any pride, dignity and all. firstly, their main aim coming to singapore is to play badminton. i mean, what's the use of winning trophies after trophies if you don't even garner the respect of the people you play with? many players in the team have stayed on for many years, hoping to win monfort that every bit of extra medals but where's their pride man? do they really wish to come over here and waste their life away playing badminton with shuttlers way below their age group? or is the satisfaction really there when they triumph over locally groomed talents? nah, i'm just complaining about why all people are born with pride and dignity but only some choose to keep it.
back to my point, yea after that the b div main players went back to ri for trng. yea and then coach decided to change our team line up for the game against sports school which we will be playing in the semis on fri. so kh went up to play singles and i partnered my gool ol' partner BRYAN! yea other than this more than happy thing (bryan, feel honoured), he scolded the two doubles. (bryan and i, keat kee and js) yea he said that he couldnt see fire in us and we were playing really dead. and he ended off with the usual "AIYA DO WHAT YOU WANT LA! I DONT CARE ABOUT YOU GUYS ANYMORE" yea. so that kinda sucked. considering our season is peaking now and that my performance is peaking now too. bad incident number 4.
after that, when bryan and i played with keat kee and js, we noticed smth strange about them. shall not elaborate about my team mates.
ribt really rocks so dun judge us.
but anyway, that was bad thing number5.
oh and after trng i also realised that i started perspiring a lot nowadays so i was like "oooooh right" then i untied my show laces and found that my insoles were really worn out due to friction from playing too much badminton. so mr sarkunan kindly decided to help me purchase new insoles soon. like tomorrow. so shall be waiting for that!
yea. today was kinda sad la. sighh

绝对不向失败低头
杨老师，各位同学，下午好！
人的一生都在寻求成功，而成功的主要窍门是“绝对不向失败低头”，为什么呢？
就像人离不开影子一样，成功也总离不开失败。所以我们必须正确而且勇敢地面对失败，才能再次获得成功。
世上少有一帆风顺的事，而失败却随时会出现，否则，那些“发明家”、“文学巨人”的美名岂不轻易地落到每个 人的头上去了？综观历史，那些出类拔萃的伟人之所以会取得成功，正是因为他们能正确面对失败， 从失败中获取教益，从而踢开失败这块绊脚石，踏上了成功的大道。比如伟大的发明家爱迪生一生的成功不计其数，一生的失败更是不计其数。他曾为一项发明经历了八千次失败的实验，但他却并不以为这是个浪费，反而说：“我为什么要沮丧呢？这八千次失败至少使我明白了这八千个实验是行不通的。”这就是爱迪生对待失败的态度。他每次都从失败中吸取教训，总结经验，从而取得一项项建立在无数次失败基础之上的发明成果。由此可见，失败固然会给人带来痛苦，但也能使人有所收获；它既向我们指出工作中的错误与缺点，又启发我们逐步走向成功。失败既是针对成功的否定，又是成功的基础，也就是说：“失败乃成功之母。”
然而，在现实中成功并不是失败的积累，而是对失败的总结与超越。如不认识这一点，就会导致“失败越多越成功”的荒谬结论。“失败乃成功之母”是一条客观规律，但真要把失败向成功转化，由可能变为现实，还必须经过不断的探索和科学的分析，从失败中吸取教训，指导今后的工作，这样才算没有“白白”地失败。
年轻人在工作中容易遭遇失败，也容易灰心，因此，我们只有牢记“失败乃成功之母”这一名言，建立起坚定的自信心，才能从失望中看见希望，从失败走向成功。“宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来”，从失败中获益，从勤奋中崛起，这就是有志青年的成才道路。 一言以蔽之，我从过去的经验中，学会了面对失败的方法：首先要振作起来，找回信心；之后要采取行动，坚持不放弃，那么，成功就在眼前了。
失败是常有的事，只要不怕失败，正确面对，一定可以走出人生的康庄大道。希望你们从今天开始，创造自己的成功!
谢谢!

Ok this is gonna be damn embarassing but here goes...
After several months of non-blogging, I finally decided to pick up the pen (the keyboard) and start again. However, on this fateful day, i forgot my username and password for this blog. How unfortunate. Well, all is well cuz i sent blogger countless emails requesting for the username of this blog and they finally gave in, how quaint.
!! >
THE CIRCLE" whose friendship progress is definitely classified as "MURKY". Yea. these people sprung a "surprise birthday party" last year despite addled with bad acting and a bad cast :P Other than that, it was pretty enjoyable at the theme park watching Daron cry when he saw Desmond and I sitting for some damn daring ride and he puked. (you did right?) yea and i received some really random cards. As i will be showing you in the later pictures. Ok this is weird. The four following shots are all tilted. So tilt your heads too -.-
Yea. This is Wei Lun's card for me. It's the four sides can open kinda card.. Kinda kiddy but very nice! Thanks!
Ok this is Daron Tan's card. It is very black and really cool. Oh there's a picture of me and him really retarded at the front. Dunno if you guys can see it. Inside, there're all sorta colours. Cuz he used all sorta pen inks. And he had no space to sign off so he used an up arrow. Wth.
I swear this was on purpose -.-
Yea this is Greg's. It is from IKEA. wth. and i got scammed at first when i saw the picture behind of Eiffel Tower. ><
Kailun's! He is so unconventional. Talk about
subverting expectations man. Yea guess. He MADE me a bday card in the form of a girl. And in it, he says he made this cuz "YOU ARE SUCH A FLIRT", quote unquote. Sigh. Why is this happening to me?
Err. Random.
ARGH IM TIRED. took how long to do this. waste time. could have done some other stuff which are much more productive. Will post another time about my chinese speech i wrote.
