Transition Element

so.. is it easy to find my blog? lol..

FLQ137
Bedok Jetty
FLQ138
after much consideration... i went running to east coast again just now..
the evening breeze... coupled with many of the hot girls running with their pets, cycling and skating.. what a enjoyment.. lol..
during my run to the jetty.. i saw a few VJCians.. and many many runners running..
training for the many upcoming running events..
many of them run in groups..
theres all men group.. couples... mixed.. and all women groups..
but that is not my point..
what i see more is there is team work..
people pushing their peers..
somehow these scenario made me recall the posters i saw in few of the MRT stations previously..
its by Adidas... the reason number <number tag> "he wont let me finish alone"... etc..
so i asked myself why do i run?
it all went back to the time when this year just started..
Mr Yang asked the class to write our new year resolution..
one of which is to complete a marathon for me..
and why do i write that?
finally.. i think it the time in Yang Shuo that inspired me to run..
i started my 100km challenge.. Jun Liang and Xue Feng soone joined in..
Jun Liang got his 100km shirt already.. and im happy for him..
hope Xue Feng got the time to finish it at well..
i left with just 4 stamps to reach 200km..
but well .. i dont know if i can complete it..
because i really hate track running now.. dont know why also..
just going round and round.. abit boring for me..
one round in the track its like running from my house to jetty the feeling know.. damn.. lol
coming back to the reason for running...
hmm.... to challenge myself?.. too cliche le ba..
i guess im running for fitness now..
but its not a good reason.. because that does not really reflect my attitude towards running..
we'll see ba...
so.. Prelims has started and rolling..
its the first time my hand felt pain after writing 2 and a half econs essay
lol.. chem 3 is gone.. but wont give up on my chem 1 and 2...
tomorrow maths... i hope i can score..
didnt really study anymore..
yea.. thats me la..
i texted to daryl...
and he bought the good news to me..
i passed my compass test..
YEA!!!... i was very happy for a few mins.. then it was ok~..
told my parents about it..
they were happy for me.. and quite amaze too..
told my brother too ..
and he was like WOW!!!
lol.. he went for the compass test before and he failed.. maybe thats why..

hai..
sometimes i think im a catalyst among people..
feel like some loser... sore loser man..
thats a terrible feeling..
well well... until the A levels.. i'll stay strong..
after much consideration by myself..
i think its time to change my blog name..
since Dear agree with me that i do not blog about our stuff.. and its only my blog.. so.. it shall be named after me instead of us.. yea..

Motivation Session

So... It is left with 2 days to the start of the preliminary examinations. How are you doing? If you are prepared and ready to go, good for you. If you are not prepared, I would say you are actually really, just that you are thinking too much. Trying to think back the time when you all are studying for your O levels, what all of you have done just to get clear to this college now? Hmm... I read WanYin's blog and discovered that she has already received her personal letter from the school, civics tutorial and herself. Many SRJCians will soon receive it, I guess. But for me, I have not.
What is getting ready? How to judge if one is ready then? It is all up in our mind, isn't it? That is the difference between the thinking of an optimistic and a pessimistic. Everyone knows that I am a very optimistic person. In shooting, in academic, in 'street situations' and in myself. Of cause, I am not a perfect person. I got my down times too. Can you imagine me failing for Maths and Chemistry in Class and Lecture Test. HAHA. I guess you will be thinking that i think very highly of myself, but well, that because of the high confidence I have for myself. When I collect my failed papers for Maths and Chemistry, the first response I had for myself was, "Damn!!!". The next response for myself, after a bit of thinking, I think it was acceptable as i did not study for it. The third response for myself was that, I think its alright as it was just an opportunity cost that paid off well - I passed my GP paper 1! My weeks of 'training' for my composition finally paid off!!! I was ecstatic. Results and number of days left often affects people's feeling, emotions and confidence and these results in people saying things like, "it is just these few days away for prelims! I need to study for it!" when actually they have already done what is required for them to get what they want, taking into account that it is feasible to achieve by standards. Ask yourself again, are you really not prepared? Try saying, "bring it on!".
In the field of academic, what often been seem as success is through hard work. The famous equation, Success = 99% Hard Work + 1% Luck. Until to date, I still do not fully appreciate this statement. It is because the equation missed out a majority component which is called: Others. Now, what is this others that we are talking about? It varies from people to people. For me, i think academic success = 50% of the ability to make what you have learnt to your advantage + 40% of Hard Work + 10% Luck. Can you figure your equation of Academic success for yourself?
Reading this post that is written by me may have positive or negative implications for you, but please understand that I wanted good for you, the reader. For you may be hating me from the day I was born or what so ever. HAHA. I was triggered to write this after reading some of my friends' blog and some conversation with friends. You know who you are right? Use whatever time you have to imagine you sitting in the examination hall doing your papers. Plan your light revisions along the way during these two weeks and I think you will not have any big problems. Study will break in between, place 'motivations' by your side to reward yourself after studying for one or two hours. 'Motivations' can be half an hour of music, chocolates, pornography or whatever suits you best. Haha...
Believe in yourself people. It is a huge challenge for everyone, you and me likewise. To have confidence, you must first love yourself. Look into the mirror and into your own eyes and tell yourself "I LOVE YOU!" and also that you will do well in this coming examinations. Best wishes for all SRJCians! Lets show the others SRJC is Serangoon Junior College and not some college that tries to imitate Raffles.
Do you find this convincing? LOL... Hope you do
C: CHEERS!

the commentator said, "if you just switching channels and so happens to switch to this channel.. pls do not switch onto another one.. cos its a very brilliant and amazing match happening here.."

today's women swimming relay was the Thing man..
Michael Phelps may have his moments..
but today..
the Aussies proven the world that they are the best..
smashed a 5 second shorter than that of the world record timing..
impressive!.. they over took the green line to such a great lead that the green line almost went out of the screen..
wow man..
next thing is the Chinese Gymnast.. Yang Wei
another omg thing..
the last to finish the event.. before the score was out.. everyone knew he will be the champion..
the whole stadium cheered for him..
the final score.. he led by 3 points.. magnificent!
Singaporean swimmers all did well..
