Concert

I've just came back from my sis' sch concert comprising of a few asthetic groups. Haha Guzheng was the better of the rest, some of it wasn't very nice and it was so long till my butt hurt. At the end of it i was constantly shifting my weight to ease the pressure on my butt. haha i was quite impressed with the guzheng though, cos it was really good! haha Of course i'll not say tt to my sis in guzheng, cos she keep self-praising anyway, so dun nid to praise her sch anymore. Yep today wasted like this :D

Napfa

haha today after napfa, went to do cip, it was quite eventful la, engage them in activities like drawing, music therapy, etc. also carried food for them! haha and i wheeled one of them into his room to run some errands for him. haha yep

Napfa was the wasted part, haiz really wasted did 3 pull ups so nid to retake everything. Haiz got improve in everything else, but pull ups... haiz anyways what i'm feeling is equivalent to what i feel when i encounter a loss in Chess. haha The feeling of a lost game, is like a LOSS. haha feeling empty inside and melancholic and many other bad feelings. haha So i can't do hw today. haha tts so sad. :D

Entry 101

Haha this is my 101st entry! haha but its regarding me in an unfortunate incident. haha Last thursday i fell down and dunno wat happened but my arm sprained or wat and my right shoulder has been injured since. The first few days i couldn't lift my arm and it was difficult to change in and out of tee-shirts. Argh, haha now its recovering but not fast enough.. Presently, cannot exert much force from my right arm in some angles, so i can't do pull-ups! Good game! haha i tink its highly probable i'll fail NAPFA this time round cos i can't do pull-ups. To think it was my most confident station, not that i can do many many, but i tot it wasn't a problem passing that station. No choice, depending on wat scheme i get, i may get pe remedial or perhaps i can retake napfa in a few weeks? haha. Nowadays when i wake up, my arm quite uncomfortable and almost whole day its aching, haha tink i'm getting rheumatism. haha TIO! ok thats all for now. haha

Chinese Chess again

Todays results were similar to tt of yesterdays, the first game i lost and the second game i won. In both games i played yesterday and today there was an uncanny similarity- the first games were against youngsters (aged 28+) and the second games were played against elderly people (aged 50+). They were from different teams and i won both second games probably due to "stamina". This is a fact - that many chess players lose their stamina as they grow old. This is inevitable as their concentration span will start to shorten and minds start to blur after half the game. I guess that was how i won. Haha

The team i'm in isn't doing very well, but its kinda expected because ours' is still relatively new team compared to the rest. The best team presently in this tournament Lee Bee Wah Cup is the "Bei Dou" team they engaged a Hong Kong highly ranked players and their players demselves are all very experienced and imba. Yes they are imba, haha my friend told me smth i really agree with. That is in a few years time, as they grow older dey wun be so imba anymore. In Singapore's environment thats how it is. Presently the "bei dou" team comprises mainly of uni undergrads and so dey have the time n vitality to train and learn chess. However many older people who were top players are unheard of in the chess realm cos dey have their work and will be too bz and drained to play, much less train chess. So its inevitable that the imba team will weaken in a few years down the road and young teams like ours (Bishan Club Team) will improve and be on par with them. This is because our players are still young and a few years down the road, we will be reaching our peak one by one.

Haha in my team, there was a senior player who stopped playing chess cos of his work. He was too busy to continue, in the past (ard 10,20 yrs ago) he was a Ranked player but stopped for a long time. About 2-3 yrs ago he picked up chess again, purely due to his passion but in the end he really was too busy to continue playing chess. Today he came to see us play and i really feel the pinch that he wasn't able to continue pursuing his interest n passion due to his work. On the other hand, the tournament this time, "Bei Dou" invited a highly ranked Hong Kong player, he's about 40plus i guess and the reason other countries produce such creme of the crop is because dey are full time chess players. They play chess for a living, funded by the province to train in the club if the club finds potential in them. However this will nvr be possible in Singapore i guess.

Haha getting tired already, really tired today and hungry when i came home, so i ate a lot of stuff. haaha

To:

Jiazhen - haha ya! i shld have joined interact, seriously sometimes when i think of it, if i had a second chance to choose i may have really chosen interact over chess club, haha! oh the notes of course is school notes! haha no time to train for chess haha. wo ke yi is nice, haha love tt song! haha

Chinese Chess

This wk was hectic and i dun expect things to get better any time soon. Almost everyday i went home after 8 and reaching home at 9 plus, and i wasn't even involved in SYF or anything or sorts. I was doing cca stuff though, guess every cca has its difficulties. Yep anyways i tink the irregular dining times (due to going home late) will get to me sooner or later and by den it'll be too late.

Ok back to Good Friday, although my religion is unrelated to Good Friday, but i was expecting to enjoy this holiday, however it was taken up yet again by chinese chess. I'm in a tournament that lasts for three days, sapping my good friday hols, n wkends. Everyday the games will end at ard 8pm. Today it started at 11am and tt means i spent 9hrs of my day outside. I dun tink i have time to train at all for this competition so its too bad. Tmr it will start at 3pm and end at 8pm. On Sunday, i'm missing the first round of tt day and will end at 8pm too!!! My whole wkend gone with the wind.

However a slight consolation is that many ccas having nationals, seasons, syf, as well! haha today i brought some notes to read, but in actual fact, its real difficult to read notes or do wk at competition arena, the atmosphere just does not permit one to concentrate on wk. In the end it was just extra weight weighing down on my bag. The reception lunch was quite nice today though, den for dinner at 5pm i had mcchicken, apple pie, ice cream from mac's. Yep i'm feeling a little hungry now, but i'm too tired to eat anything now...

School

As a sequel to the incident that occured in my secondary one yrs, haha i can still remember another which occurred at an even younger age- an even more childish side of me.

I can still remember tt during primary 3 or primary 4, i was still quite an avid fan of table tennis. I recall that during that time, i was in table tennis as cca and played quite frequently during saturdays and whenever there is free time. Recess, breaks and no matter how much time there is we would play table tennis. The game was quite short as i tink we played "King" or wat, den dere'd be deuces but generally it ends at 5 points so very fast. On that day, i rmb tt recess was just over and bell rang, but as i was still immature, on the very last game i hit my fren in his mouth. I forgot for wat reason it was alr, but i can still recall my left arm swung up towards his face with my stiga bat in my hands right into his mouth. His mouth bled and i tink another fren who was there threatened to report me to a teacher.

Then, i was extremely scared and afraid of being punished. I did not repent totally but i apologized to my fren quickly, in the hope that he will not pursue it any further. In the end, my form teacher got news of the matter and lucky for me she only required me to write an apology letter and apologize. haha wow, its getting boring cos i was interrupted when writing.

ok yes the difference between wat i felt in sec 1 n this was tt in sec 1 i felt regretful and truly repented but here i was only daunted by the punishment. haha so perhaps i have grown even more since den, but my height nvr grow a lot leh
