It Won't Be Soon Before Long

Song of the week time peeps. Sorry for the non-updates during the week. Was either too lazy or too busy to blog. Well here we go with the song. This one is a really old track by Blue, featuring Stevie Wonder and a few others. Here's Signed, Sealed Delivered! =) The video ain't great quality, but It'll do. The little random black kid is pretty funny too. haha. And I must say, THANK YOU ELSTAN, for the Maroon 5 album.



Long tiring week. Injured my back pretty bad by falling stupidly during my SBJ. Worsened it by doing the 2.4 run after. Hurts like hell. BUT PAIN MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE. XD. Nanyang Concept Tests today morning were ok I guess. Hope to do decently.

I kinda missed the J1 boys over this one week. Don't ask me why. It's good that they'll be back after their stooopid e-learning week is over. Thats one policy thats just as bad as the Teach Less, Learn Nothing initiative. Lol.

Now for some cricket talk. India just got completely owned by Sri Lanka. All you Indian fans out there, SCREW YOU. Even New Zealand knows how to put up a better fight than that. Why put faith in a team that doesn't have faith in itself? On a lighter note, I've decided that I'm going to keep improving my pace bowling. Try to become a bit more of a hit-the-deck bowler. Haha.

Well I'm off, to infinity and BEYOND!!!!







"Go ahead tell me you'll leave again.
You'll just come back running.
Holding your scarred heart in hand,
it's all the same.

And I'll take you for who you are,
if you take me for everything.
Do it all over again.
It's all the same."


P.S. That song at the end is called All The Same, by Sick Puppies. Youtube it. I would have put it here, but the video is a little too depressing. Do check it out!

Where's Everybody Going?

Well this week it's a little different. There are TWO songs of the week. The First one is a really old song, one that I LOVED when I was younger (like primary school younger!). Here is When You're Looking Like That, by WESTLIFE!!!! XD



The second song is a peppy makes-me-want-to-get-up-and-dance song by Alyson and AJ Michalka, better known as Aly & AJ. This one is called Like Whoa. Enjoy. =)



So the 8-a-side tournament ended yesterday, and the J1s didnt get through. But its really alright boys, it doesn't matter. I know that whatever they did, they would have put their heart and soul into it. 5 wickets against ACS(I) is quite commendable! And I am quite annoyed that we didn't even get a SINGLE DSA from an application pool of 8, but its ok. I'm sure some of them will appeal in, and even if they don't TJC Cricket will still fight on. We aren't CLASSY player, or TECHNICALLY gifted players, but what we are, what we will be forever are FIGHTERS. More than any team in Singapore. And JTS on MONDAY!!! And Friday's sportsman appreciation will be the last time I can legally be with my boys.

I'm off!

Cheers.








"Life has moments hard to describe,
feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this,
mountain we're on.

Always knowing we're gonna be fine,
feeling great and feeling alive.
Never coming down from this,
mountain were on.

The feeling so clear,
and it's crazy up here,
Life is amazing with you on the ride."

The One

I HAVE FOUND THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS!!!

But unfortunately, she's in a tamil movie called Santosh Subramaniam, and really too good to be true. XP. damn. I fell for her watching her on tv on Saturday. Either ask me about her, or go WATCH THE MOVIE. Its amazing!!!!!

I love chemistry lectures in ELLL-TEEE 2 with the crazy Oliviaaaaa. haha. I end up spending it laughing my ass off for the whole 50 minutes. And amazingly I'm still able to finish my questions and do them correctly!!!! yay.

The cricket 8-a-side tournament is on this Friday for the J1s. I'm really praying hard that they'll do well. I'm immensely proud that the boys are not slacking about it just because the J2s are not playing and are really putting their heart and soul into it. Who knows what might happen? I'm praying hard that they do well. It won't matter to me that I'm not playing. I'll just be really proud in saying that I once played with these boys who might prove this Friday that determination and courage is all one needs to do great things. Good luck to you guys. Hopefully they never forget us J2s. XP

The last few days have been really lovely to me. Whether its playing around with my class guys or studying with the cricket dudeessss I've had a lot of fun, WHILE keeping to my time-table. Lovely. And tomorrow is Racial Harmony Day, and us INDIANNSSSS are wearing Veshti!!!! HAHA. Ill definitely put up pics of that when I get them. Its nice to have met so many amazing people in my life. I often wonder how life would have been if I hadn't come here and either gone to some other IP school, or stayed in VS. The people I might have missed, its just too much to think about. From retarded guys like Eugene and Varun, to the whacko wave-to-me-while-pinching-nose girl Bernice, I'll probably miss them all come next year. I've got a funny "dedication to one person per week" kind of thing in my head, but I've not yet decided about that. haha. You readers will see sometime.

Well back to Equilibriaaa... damn.

Cheers.








"How am I supposed to leave you now,
when you're looking like that.
I can't believe what i just gave away
now i can't take it back
I don't wanna get lost.
I don't wanna live my life without you.
How am i supposed to leave you now,
when you're looking like that."

Crazy Week

Song of the week time!!!

This songs been stuck in my head for a while. Here's Won't Go Home Without You, by Maroon 5. Its seriously been playing im my head for a few days now.



Well this has been a mixed bag week. Quite pleased with the work I've done for chemistry and mathematics. physics should be done by tomorrow. Its just economics. Bleaghhh...

Cricket on friday was amazing. I'm really proud of my batting now. I'm sorry, I might keep saying this, but the way I batted on Friday made me feel real good. If only me and Anantha could share such a partnership in a real game. We'd own. hahaha. SORRY BALAJI, FOR THAT MASSIVE SIX. I DIDN'T DO IT PURPOSELY!!! ITS JUST THE BAT!!! HAHAHAHAHA.

Finalized grades for JCTs look pathetic. hahaha. Ask me personally if you want to know. Well it can only get better I guess. hahahaha.

Right, back to Kinematics.

Cheers.

Postcards from a Plane Crash (Wish you were here)

So I've finally received all my stupid marks. DUMBBBB. Ask me personally if you want to know. I wonder where the "motivate me to study harder" part of these JCTs are. All they're doing for now is demoralizing me. Well, no time to "STAND and STARE", time only to MUGGGGG. Gah.

I came here only to say this. YOU are the most amazing person I've met. And that will never change. I'll wait. lol =)

And to the rest of you idiots trying to figure out who? STOP TRYING. You won't get it. :)

Cricket video taking this Friday. I can promise with people like Aditya directing it, it would be DAMN funny. hahaha. Can't wait. And JTS next Friday at ECP. Last time together officially with TJC Cricket. Damn. Typing this out makes me emo. :(

Just finished a study time-table. Actually it was done yesterday, but bah whatever. Looks bad. I'm sure you've read this on a MILLION and ONE blogs, but I'll say it too: I NEED TO PULL UP MY SOCKS AND WORK REALLY HARD. Haha. Btw, what idiot came up with that phrase? Pull up socks? WTH? haha. So random.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET 20++ CUSTOMIZED SILICONE WRISTBANDS??? PLEASE TELL ME. Silicone Wristbands are like those yellow LiveStrong bands. Please and Thank you!

Cheers.









"Where is you boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman.
And maybe he wont find out what i know,
you were the last good thing
about this part of town."

Emo Week

Sorry I didn't post my song of the week yesterday, I was out due to nonsensical reasons the whole of yesterday. First the SMO second round which was DISASTROUS and DEMORALIZING, and then the RGS ICS night, which to me was an unnecessary waste of time. Well anyway, since this week has been really emo for me, I've been listening to some of the more hardcore rock songs that I used to listen to back in secondary two. Things like Smile in your Sleep by Silverstein, and Dear Everybody by JamisonParker have come out of the closet once again. But this shall be my song of the week. This is Anthem of our Dying Day, by Story of the Year. Quite a dark, depressing, moody song, so it was perfect for this rubbish week. So sue me.



I really don't have anything else to say this time. Lol. Its just been one of those weeks.

Cheers.








"Take this stupid heart,
I know it's all you ever want me for.
And I hope you keep it close,
so that everyone knows
that it's all because of you,
that im dead to the world."

The Beginning of the End

JCTs have been a complete failure. I need to buck up. Seriously. 9 weeks left, need to make good use of whatever's left. Damn. :S

Lets list all the screwed up things that have happened this year:
1) The Term 1 incident
2) MCTs
3) Cricket tourny
4) JCTs

Lets list the GOOD things that have happened this year:

1) The Term 1 incident (Yes, its both, it did feel good. So sue me.)
2) Violin

So the final ratio is 4:2. For every good thing, 2 things must screw up eh? Damn.

Anyway, yesterday was Cricket elections, and as good as handover. A lot of mixed feelings like Ms Kwan aptly put. I am relieved that I won't have to deal with any stupid admin and yada yada, but at the same time, its was also really saddening when I realized that my time with TJC Cricket is nearly over. Put me in a very nostalgic mood throughout yesterday evening. TJC cricket has been one of the best things that has happened to me ever since I set foot into this JC. I've loved it from the first day, and it was also heartening to see that every year I got a little better, from someone who absolutely couldnt bat, to a reliable top order batsman. I've seen so many different people, from great leaders like Rakesh, to jackasses like Tejas Rao and Aditya, to people who give it their all whether or not they're in the team, like Ponku and Nachiappan. Especially with this batch, I have become EXTREMELY close. And like I promised sometime before, I will be back to help these guys in any way that I can. This is a promise I intend to keep. Cricket gave me a lot through these long 4 years, and I intend to give as much as I can, back.

To Vinoth, Balaji and Aditya, good luck with everything. I'll always be around to help in any way possible. I know you three will do great. It made me so emotional yesterday evening that I sat down and wrote EVERYONE who's ever done ANYTHING for TJC cricket. Including, teachers, coaches, and former players, the list only came up to 48. In 4 years. A really small number. But I love them all the same.

Cheers.







"We'll be miles apart,
I'll keep you deep inside,
You're always in my heart.
A new life to start,
I may be leaving,
but you're always in my heart."
