F1 in the zoo
DATE: Sunday, March 30, 2008 | TIME: 3/30/2008 09:53:00 PM
Such a fun day today.
Firstly woke up early coz me and family going to zoo. Haha. Yeah it's childish but i haven't been there in 5 years. I think i should make it a point to visit once a year. Haha. Well, met a lot of animals. Tigers, lions, elephants, monkeys and the different types, alligators, cheetahs, jaguars, giant turtles, polar bears and the other kindsof bears, snakes(especially anaconda), manetes, otters, deers, dewgongs, penguins, lizards and dragons, foxes, giraffes, rhinoceros, kangaroos, ostriches, emus and zebras. Maybe some of them were left out.
Okay, let's start the tour. The first were the white tigers. Haha, they were fighting over higher grounds. The lions didn't move much coz when we reached them, it was raining and they were just in their caves, yawning. The elephants were doing some stretches coz they were preparing to do a show and they even did some poses for the camera. Wanted to ride 1 but the queue was so long that i didn't even bother. The monkeys, oh there were so many of them but i remember the orang utan coz they were walking around freely and swinging from tree to tree. Haha, one of them had fur that looked like a coat! Comparing their hand size to ours, theirs were much bigger, at least more than mine, haha. Alligators didn't do much so...cheetahs were angry i think coz a lot of people were knocking on the glass and one of the cheetahs rammed the glass wall to scare them off, poor cats. Jaguars were almost fighting but when it rained, they just sat together on a log and slept through the rain, so cute. Giant turtles were so slow moving and big too. Wanted to touch them but dad and bro moved away so quickly that i didn't get the chance. But they were cute though.
They did a show on polar bears telling us some info about Inuk(1 of the polar bears) about their diet, size and everything. Once, it weighed less than 300g but no it weighs 300kg i think. Haha, such a big difference! And they threw live fishes to Inuk to feed it and luckily got to see it do some sort of hunting. The person said that some fishes die upon entering the water because of heart attack! Haha. Funny. At the snakes part was so inteesting to see so many different snakes like the king cobra, the rattlesnake and especially the anaconda which was as long as 9 meters! Scary but also some sort of pity to see them in captivity. Manetes,dewgongs and penguins were all in the same location so just watched them splash around in the water except for the penguin which was in a different place which was air-conditioned. The penguins were incubating their eggs! Lucky enough to see them. The otters were very cute coz they were small and swimming in a small pool and they would jump in and out of the pool. Haha.
The lizards and dragons were absent cos they were hiding in their caves to cool down from the then hot weather. Interesting to note that a komodo dragons' saliva has more than 50 types of bacteria in it so if a prey was bitten but to escape, it would die sooner or later because of the infection. Also, that the young that have just hatched must climb a tree or get to higher grounds to escape being eaten by their parents! Tough childhood. The foxes was also interesting cos there was a perfume smell created by the male fox to attract a mate and it smelt rather nice. Didn't get a good look at the giraffe except that they were all standing together in a circle and looking out at us.
Rhinoceros, as i just found out, are very heaty animals. When it rained, the rhinos' body was so hot that the rain turned to water vapour instantly so there was a shroud of steam around the rihno's body! Haha, interesting to see though. Also, one of the rhinos was named by the Singapore Armed Forces(SAF) football club. The kangaroos and ostriches were in the same area where they roamed freely. Was it an ostrich or an emu? Anyway, the kangaroos received much more attention than the birds so i went to it and just looked at it and talked to it. Haha, lame and somehow moving. The zebras were just eating when we came so didn't bother looking at it.
That's all for the zoo tour so went to KFC after that to eat lunch and went to town to just walk about with bros while dad went home to prepare for work. Then, i think i saw Mag...Hmm... She was looking at me funny but i just turned away after a short glimpse. Went to some cosplay shops, toys r' us, weapons shop and some other shops which i can't remember.
Oh yeah! In town, near the Esplanade, there was this big crowd lining up parallel to the road and there was this loud music playing. Thought it was a marching band or something which it was but then i saw this tent with crew workers in it which must mean only one thing. F1! Haha. Yup. It was a demostration of the F1 car performance. Damn it was fast and damn it was loud. i almost went deaf for a second then. It made a speed down a road then made a u-turn and sped down the same road again and again. Also made some 360 degress turns where it rev'd it's engine up so loud! Hahaha. Really liked the showcase but some kids were screaming and crying where they were holding their ears screaming 'its too loud'. Poor babies. Haha. But other than that, it was really exciting. Now i see what the big fuss is all about.
That's all for this fun day.

Hmmm...Had Nafa test today.
Started out great but ended up worst. Ok so the first station was sit-up and managed to get 50 which is 5 points. Not bad for starters. Although i think i farted while doing. Haha. Moving on. Next station was standing broad jump which was horrible coz got a pathetic 118cm. Haish... I was surprised that Esley jumped further than me. Hahs. Next station was the sit and reach where Sze Hern got the most out of it stretching to an incredible length of 60+cm. i was laughing my head off.
This is where it started to get worse. Next station was the pull-up station. I did 3 at first but the teacher asked me to restart. So i did and got 7. 7+3=10 right but he gave me 4. F****** B***S**** Man! I was so pissed off. Watched the people at the next station which was the shuttle run and they kept retaking their timing and it was damn irritating man. And the others kept asking me how much i got for pull ups and i told them the same story over and over again. By the time it was my turn for shuttle run, i was so pissed off man. Ran to the wooden block thing,grabbed it and slipped just little. I exploded and smashed the thing to the ground. So fed up already man so i couldn't take it la. Walked off and went to the canteen. W3i took the liberty of consoling me just for a while. Thanks man but i think you got the wrong idea for a while there.
Met up with Sayfiq and the rest at the canteen and went to the NCC room to cool down. Played with guns and stuff haha. So fun.

My ankle is still sore.
Ok. I know i said that my ankle was badly injured and i couldn't do stuff and bla..but it's getting better now and it's recovering faster than i expected. By Wednesday, i was fit enough to run the 4oom upper secondary boys event. Yeah i came in 4th but that's good enough. I would have gotten 5th if Muhaimin wasn't disqualified but too bad for him. Haha. He's still complaining that he should've gotten the 2nd postion trophy which ended up going to Wei sheng. Congrats to W3i for finally getting a trophy in his Secondary school life.
Hmm.... What else? This past week was rather hectic coz had to do the mock exam. I don't think anybody knows but i didn't do the math paper.(Gosh!) Maybe i should tell teacher about it but i know what she will say.
"You know you didn't do it and yet you kept quiet? It's your responsibility to tell me that you didn't do the paper so i can give one to you. How can you tell me you didn't know? You have the time table right?"
And all those things that teachers normally say. Sheesh! Hmm... Anything else?
Ok. Thursday night, i had a weird experience. I was trying to get some sleep at 10pm. Sure enough i got it but then i had this weird dream and kinda scary. My dad and bro were working together to kill me! Isn't that a scary thought? I ran and did acrobatics and what not to escape but then i fell and woke up. My dad was next to me and i almost shrieked. Haha. Coz he was trying to kill me and all.
Went back to sleep and had another dream. This one was interesting and so far the best dream i've ever had. Was running from my dad(again) and locked myself and a few other kids in toys r' us. No the dream wasn't about toys. So anyway, my dad had made an army of some sort and we kids had to defend ourselves. So i walked around the shop looking for some weapons(ironically) and found this long kinght-style sword. The scene changed and we were in a war like Rome vs Greece. Killed of a few magicians(wherever the hell they came from), beheaded some soldiers, killed a giant.
Then came a romantic part. I dunno but it was in some way heroic too. Found a village which just suffered an attack and the villagers were taking refuge nearby their homes. I met this really beautiful girl and she was crying. Her family was trying to cuddle with her or what la. And the look on her face was so so so so...decent, sweet and gentle. She gave me a meaning to fight and because of that, i was able to carry on fighting in the war and was just about to finish off the army when i woke up. Haish. Dreams are said to be a glimpse of the future or maybe our deepest desires. They hold the key to something really important about ourselves.
Let me dream again.

Somebody just end my life.
No.. I'm not emo. Just that i can't play soccer anymore. Hur..hur... I'm not actually crying la but if i can't play soccer, then what's the point of me living. You're asking why i can't play? Because i freaking twisted my ankle. I could've sworn that i heard something crack and turn as i fell to the ground. ARGH!!! I can't run at the prestigious sports day, i can't walk properly, i can't even jog!
Just end my life with 2 bullets. One through the heart, one through the head. Make sure i stop breathing. If not, shoot me until i die. Hur...hur...hur....wah!!!

I swear if you guys could see my title for each post, you'd be amazed.
Anyway, stopped caring about my birthday cos nothing has surfaced. Time to focus on other things like friends, families, games and what not. Haha.
These two days(Monday and Tuesday) been busy with remedial. Just a few short lessons, nothing i can't handle and for once, i can understand Bio and math! If this goes on, i'll be getting into Polytechnic faster than you can recite the dictionary 50 million times! Haha. Last week was parent-teacher meeting but nothing interesting there. Recently getting envious of 4E6 coz of their class commitment. And nothing other events.
If you were to take a walk with me, you'd realise that i'd have asked you a question. What would you do if i gave you a pistol,with nine bullets? Take a second to think and let your imagination do the talking. I've had some interesting answers lately. Hmmhmm haha.

Happy Birthday to me

It's been 1 day since my birthday...
And i don't have a single present besides the one from Brentha. Plenty of wishes though coz Brentha told Li Hui who told the whole class that it was my birthday and they all sang a birthday song. It was a good feeling to finally celebrate my birthday with my friends from secondary school after three other years where everyone had no idea when the heck was my birthday. Yup. No one knew except a few individuals.
Celebrations turned out to be glum...No cake, no pictures, no presents, not even money from parents. Yeah its pathetic celebrating my 16-eeth birthday this way. How i wish there was more to it than this but i can't help it coz everyone knew it was my birthday only on that day which would mean relly short notice. So i don't expect people to give me gifts unless they were rich and bothered to remember the day.
Hmmm....Maybe all this is karma.

It's been quite a while since i blogged.
How long exactly? I don't know. Guess that means i must have a lot to say. Well, for now i'm using my bro's laptop coz the CPU is spoilt and all the pics and songs are gone. F***! That is so lame cos that's a lot of songs. 5Gb worth of songs. Why does this keep happening?!
Today went to Commonwealth Secondary School for a lecture by a GCE 'O' levels examiner for mother tongue language. CSS is so big that my school looks like crap compared to it. Haiz...Budget. Met a few friends and some pretty 'things'. The talk was kinda useful since i always fail mt mother tongue but at the same time not useful because i'm taking the B syllabus so no point in using up a lot of effort. But it was fun though.
Last few days have been rather hectic. First and foremost, i shifted house which took really long and tideous work. Getting adjusted to the new place which is smaller so lesser space to put my stuff. Secondly, training for sports heat(and if we qualify)and sports day. Need to do a lot of running and make sure that we win so that some of us can take home our first gold of our secondary school life.
Other than that, been playing pool at taman jurong these weekends. Sometimes i'm good and other times not. But it is a good experience though to go out with 3 of your best friends every week so you know that there are no secrets between each other and you share a bit of laughs and fun. All and all, they were good times.
