There is more, but many I will post them up another time? I should be studying :/ HAha!!

Do not conform to the Patterns
Stumbled upon this poster, or picture or whatever you call it.
Well, do you agree with it?? Many people do, I think, or many teenagers will think that way. But honestly, when your life is in a mess, why does a person tend to turn to this surroundings to seek help. Why do we, human being like to seek help from the creation rather than the creator?
Not trying to shot an arrow to your knee or heart or any part of your body. But don't you think is true, we tend to seek help from people and not God. Even I am not an exception. I rather choose to tank, to try and carry everything by myself. Some may be like me,some may seek help from others but usually how many of us run into the arms of our Creator when we find ourselves in a mess? Hm.. Food for thought? Maybe.
Looking at this poster, it reminds me that we as Christains must beware of allowing what the world preaches to become part of us.The picture, and the words seem legit, this seems to make sense but honestly, does it?? Maybe I am still too young to understand, or is this just deception? Its pretty hard not to be influenced, we still fail but we should at least try to minimize it yea??

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Medicine
I hate taking my medicine, I need to whine about this man! seriously!!
Yes, I am sick!! And it is irritating!! Argh!!
Haiz, I shouldn't have taken my Napfa test despite being sick. It made everything worse! It sucks now!! I did pass my napfa, I am going to skip 2 months like duh. If I didn't, I probably have wasted my 6 years of my life playing soccer and being fit. But the problem was that it was the final straw for my body. My body K.Oed like after...
I tried continuing life as per normal, failed like a boss. I think I super epic. I thought I not sick sia, I just thought I a bit hot. Then when I went to see a doctor, he took my temperature and told me, "you do know that you are runnign a fever?"
Likeaboss, I gave that epic face of, "seriously ah!!?? *mind-blown*" Haha!!!
Then he gave me medication and that what I am here to whine to you about.
The doctor gave me alll medication is drowsy! Walao! I not snorlax leh, the doctor wanted me to become snorlax! Sleep all day! Its like 3 medication all drowsy. Haiz, I have to take all. So this is what happens to me. I eat and sleep, eat and sleep! Seriously like a pig on friday. If given a choice, I would not take it sia! Felt like I was wasting my life away sleeping and eating but I had to take medication. the next day was DIFF!! The event I have been like planning all along. Ok, Scarlet tanked a lot for me. Especially when I resume my "relax" lifestyle of soccer and academics yea! Thank you scarlet!! ^^ (thats if she ever see this though, ahaha!!) Yea, so I was good boy listening to doctor orders on Friday. But that is not the worse part of the medication.
If you take medication and attempt not to sleep, its really become the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak sia. It like a battle of willpower vs science, wehre I am resisting the urge to sleep like I am suppose too.. :/
It is also actually worse if I didn't take my medication. It is fine for the first 2 hours without medication but after that it is like all life and energy is drained out of me. I wanted to rest, I want to sleep, my body just wanted to shut down and not do anything. This weekend, I wasn't a peacock at all, or I felt like I showed no signs of being one with a body that was so weak.. :/ I didn't even want to talk! OMG! Seriosuly dude! -.- For once, talking was so super duper hard to do! OMG!! :O
Well, I just hope my body recovers fast and I can live without medication. In the lifestyle I live in, absence makes your return all the more harder. Ok, if skip one day, its pretty easy to catch up with the rest, or to make sure that you maintain your lead over them. But if its like a week, you know you got an uphill task to accomplish! :/

The Torrent of waves
Hi peeps, I know I have not updated my blog like a long time. But its mostly because I have been very tired and busy these past few days.
So update on my week.
Its pretty simple, soccer and study and try to squeeze in sleep and organizing the most amazing D.I bday!! And without a doubt, putting my best effort into all of them...
Soccer has moved into full gear. Despite doctor orders that I ease myself back in. I have instead been swept away with the tsunami wave that has hit the team..
On monday, I ran 3km, and did some strengthening exercises..Well, wasn't really that tiring but it was tiring nonetheless since I am just returned from injury and am very unfit.
Erm.. But on Tuesday, it gets worse. Or everyday, it gets worse due to fatigue. I had training today. Return from injury and joining back into full training.. Well, ball skill wise, I am not really rusty but fitness wise. I am really bad.. I got level 10 for my Beep Test when I just recovered from injury. My coach wanted to know my fitness level so sadly, I did what I would deem as lousy!!
Soccer training, it ends at 7.30pm supposedly, but we usually get out of school by 8pm.. So I would reach home super late with my tests and homework not helping me at all. Not do they some complete themselves miraculously!! :( So I will try to complete my homework with a physical tired body. And because I am so tired, my mind can't think properly.
Its really hard because I have come to realize that most people don't really bother how you do it, they just want it done.. And well, it means I really have to burn midnight oil but I can't even reach that stage because I will K.O even before that...
On Wednesday, I had soccer PT. It was crazy, or for someone trying to regain his fitness, it was crazy!!
We had to run intervals, which it one of the most tiring and exhausting things you can run! Who came up with this training of running below timing!! Walao!!!
I vomited 3 times while running them!! Well, when U vomit, u would expect to be allowed to rest. Sadly, I wasn't given such a privilege. My coach said that vomiting is good, because that means you are pushing yourself to the limit!! Vomiting sucks, we all know it but having to continue your PT despite vomiting is bad!! >.<
That is why I vomited 2 more times!! Oh yes! That wasn't all. I had to do strength training, and that made my legs feel or become jelly!! Ouch... I won't bother talking about the mountain of undone work I have, but you know that its there. Always there..
Thursday, was pretty much the same thing!! Soccer training and studying! Well, I was pretty tired, being able to sense the fatigue accumulated in my body!! Was really hoping to get a day off on Friday. Sadly, news broke out that we were going to challenge Hong Kah Sec on Friday!!
Imagine my feeling. Mixed emotion man!! Hong Kah Sec leh!! My secondary school, and a super zai school in soccer!!
So lets move on to Friday! Was pretty happy the week was coming to an end but there is still one more day!! Well, I was literally sleeping in class nowadays because I can't really tank much with my poor fitness and hectic schedule. Then came what I was looking forward to. The Homecoming!!
Rushed down to Hong Kah Secondary. Stepping back into the school, felt weird. The lyrics, "I'm coming home, I'm coming home. Tell the world I'm coming home." was playing through my head constantly. Returning to the field where I loved, I prefer playing in Hong Kah than JJC honestly.
The Homecoming was fun. Playing against your juniors, chatting during the game.. The result wasn't the best. Hong Kah beat JJC, like duh. Confirm de what!! Haha!! I won so many things with Hong Kah, but none with JJC :/
Was hoping to score against Hong Kah but never really managed to sadly. But I did assist a goal though! Haha!! But when it was over. I was really tired...
So overall, my week has been very tiring but at least I had a cloud 9 moment by returning back to Hong Kah this week!! Weee!! All I really hope is that I will be able to tank 3 more months of this really very crazy and hectic lifestyle!! HELP!!

A'Div Draw
Ouch!! Lost my mood to study because I fount out the daunting task awaiting me!! I received an sms about the draw for this year A'Division!! Sadly, the group we have been drawn in is tough. Why? We are group together with RJC, ACJC, MI, TPJC, DHS!!
1. Raffles Junior College
Why do we have to be drawn with a DSA school!! They soccer players surely have to be stronger than us!! They DSAed into that school?? Ok, some of you think RJC is a nerd school. Perhaps they are, but they are does people who DSA and get expelled after 2 years of playing soccer for them in A'Div?! (Or thats what I heard..) They were last year 4th, rather strong school and likely to finish top of the group!! :/
2. Anglo-Chinese Junior College
What!!?? Another DSA school!! Save me man!! Usually ACJC is pretty strong but just not strong enough to be in the top 4. Usulayy they are 5th, so they are pretty strong are likely to finish runner-up in the group and also be the main threat to RJC.
3. Millennia Institute
LOL!! What luck man!! We just tio MI. I believe that all of you know that MI is like a JC but it is 3 years. Hence the team they can fill will be 19 years old, or J3. Which means that they are trained together as a team for one more year than normal JC which would mean that their teamwork and everything should be better than us. And MI and JJC are usually so called a derby since we are so close to each other.. Going to our main rivals too, Probably competing with these 3 schools mentioned, for that 2 exclusive spots!
4. Tampiness Junior College
I don't really know much about them, but I don't expect them to be strong. Hopefully, they are whipping boys :/
5. Duman High School
They ain't a very strong team, but we need to win big against them too!! We have played against them recently winning 2-0, it was the match when I did not listen to Doctor's instruction and played a bit in the match.. :/ Hopefully, I can make a difference.. :/
Well, overall, I hope that we can progress. I have seen the other groups, we are in the toughest group. The group of death. Having trained so hard, I really hope that we progress. So Right now, I am spamming myself with PT to improve myself. So that perhaps a reason why I am not very free these days. I need to get back my fitness!! :/

6 weeks over..
The lifestyle of an Athlete and student.. Its tiring, its draining and its deadly!!
Well, this is year 6 of my hectic lifestyle.. had a good 6 weeks of break and its time I swim against the tide for my life again.
Right now, I have yet to enter back into that lifestyle. But actually, I already have, only that its not so physical draining yet because I have not been playing soccer a lot.. Just helping out here and there is not as tiring as soccer, running, sprinting, and experiencing a training that literally sucks the life and energy out of you... :/
But the thought of entering back into it is very disturbing and turns me off..
I know I will suffer, I know I will be left trying to keep my head above the water and I hope I do not drown.
But lets not hide the fact that I really want to go back and play soccer!! I really want too! I miss it so much. I hate being sidelined, but I actually hate my hectic and draining lifestyle more. All I have been able to do is just look on from the sideline or the stand as my team plays matches or train....
It has been a very lonely 6 weeks. I remember Steven Gerrard talking about how torturing it was to be sidelined for 6 months, and I do agree and now that my time on the sideline is almost finished (I have not fully recovered actually, but I don't have time..), I want to get back into action. I want to play, but I know the opportunity cost it holds.
I have lived like this for some many years. I have experienced those days when you just want to run away from reality, and run away from everything and just relax. And those days, when you are so exhausted that you become so moody, so cranky and you can't move at all.
Lets admit, there is no running away from it. I think I was meant to suffer sia, nah, just joking. But I had a nice 6 weeks of, though it was really lonely because being in the gym alone doing weighs is really boring, rest and its time to return to my hectic lifestyle.
There is really no point in listing down my sufferings because everyone has them, only difference is some people have them worse... I must endure, and I will survive!! I hope to mark my return to action with a bang too!! ^^

Alarm clock!!
I NEED A ALARM CLOCK!!! Totally, after today, I really need one.
7.22am!!!!!!!!!
Eeks!! I believe that my face was totally priceless when I saw the time I woke up!! My school is not just down below my estate, nor is it next door...It is 2.2km away!! I had also missed the bus!! And the next bus will take 15 mins to arrive!! I hate the waiting time for 185, honestly!!
Hm.. So lets go through the thought process??
I have 18 minutes to reach school. I am on my bed, and what do you think I would do??
I wanted to just go and sleep!! But when I saw the time! My priceless face and my shocked body jolted me out of my bed!! "siao ah! 18 mins left leh! Havent change, just pon sch lah" It was pretty enticing and tempting to do it, but thankfully, I did not.. I rushed to change and attempt to reach school before 7.40am!!
Eeks!!!!! When I saw what time it was when I left my house.. 7.29am, I thought, it was a gone case...
Wait for the bus? No, sure late!! Take cab? Maybe, but it will cost a bomb! So what did I do? I ran!!! My fitness has dropped badly, my knee not fully recovered, I accidentally sprained my ankle running on the way there. I thought it was over, but I just continues to run! Amazingly, I reached school in time. I was hurting, in pain and sweating away. But I made it in the nick of time. Thank God!! Phew!!
Its pretty cool how I woke up at 7.22am and not 7.30am or 9am. Giving me exactly the sufficient time to run to school and still make it in time.. I am really thankful for that!! No blemish on punctuality yet!! ^^
God puts trials in our way, and will see how much we want it (or Him) And will be fight on and press on towards our goal? Life does not get any easier, but are you strong enough to push on
I TOTALLY NEED A ALARM CLOCK!! >.<
Well, school starts at 7.40am everyday. Guess what time I woke up today??!!!
7.22am!!!!!!!!!
Eeks!! I believe that my face was totally priceless when I saw the time I woke up!! My school is not just down below my estate, nor is it next door...It is 2.2km away!! I had also missed the bus!! And the next bus will take 15 mins to arrive!! I hate the waiting time for 185, honestly!!
