the oral examination is the best
what should i say?i went to school today!!to take an examination:oral communication programme(OCP)examination...i thought that it would be a waste of time...but...it is not at all..although the examination only lasted for 7 mins, and eventhough it did not count in the report card...i still did my best.
i thought that it would be a scary one.and prepared for it like a month ago...can u believe it?i usually prepare for my examinations like a day ago but now?a month ago....wow..still was very worried last night...asked my sister to write out my speech on to prompt cards...thanks so much...her handwriting is muchj better than mine(of cuz)..i was afraid that i might not be able to read what i write so i asked her to write...while she was writing i practiced my poem...."the man in the glass"...
everything went out fine...actually, the whole examination is like not my work...i asked someone to edit my speech for me..changed practically everything..then the poem was from my coach...made use of the poem that he gave..all i had to do for that examination was just to present myself, recite the poem and say the speech...i just had to practice..thanks to all those out there that helped me in everyway...especially if u are the one who edited my speech....thank you..
happy for my brother..spend so much time teaching him and finally he came home with some good results...he scored full marks for his maths, 96 for chinese...guess what he scored for english?the lousiest of ll subjects...88 only..never mind...he'll just have to read more books..glad that he did not screw up otherwise..haha...
ok..got to go...going to bum around and then go for training afterwards...training this morning was not too bad..did sprint set..quite tiring....never mind..it is good for me...persevere....

the king of love my sheperd is,
whose goodnes faileth never.
i nothing lack if i am his,
and he is mine forever.
where the streams of living water flow,
my ransomed soul he leadeth;
and where the verdant pastures grow
with food celestial feedeth
preserve and foolish, oft i strayed,
but yet love he sought me;
and on his shoulder greatly laid,
and home,rejoycing,brought me.
in death's dark vale i fear no ill,
with thee,dear lord,beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.
thou spreadest a table in my sight;
the unction grace bestoweth;
and oh,what transport of delight
from thy pure chalicw floweth!
and so through all the length of days,
thy goodness paileth never;
good sherperd,may i sing thy praise
within thy house forever.
Psalm 22 (23)

school is finally over
what more can i say?the holidays has arrived..it was at my door-step this morning...i saw it before i left for training.that was like at 5.00am....actually did not want to go to school today..it is the last day of school and what is there to do other then getting report books?maybe bro jason's mass....and nothing more...
i was wrong!!!i went to school with a wrong mindset today...i am so sorry.fellow josephians..please forgive me if i have hurt u in any way...i am really sorry...after training i thought that school would be boring..but..when i reached school...i saw that everyong was all ready and excited for the mass.well...i reached school trather early today...all for bro jason...he was going to be professed today...so wanted to be present at his mass...i did not sleep during mass!!should i say that that is an accomplishment?i usually sleep during the homilys and all but today was rather different and very special...after the mass we all went back to class for temperature taking...i am left speechless about that.i have got nothing left to say....SJI is just taking all the precaution..i think that is a right step...assembly started very late...or should i say that there was no assembly at all...did not have to stand out there on the tracks...haha..when we all were all lined up and ready..rain came pouring down..then we went back to class...lame around then went to the hall...that was where everything happened..that made my day go out well...i have to thank a few people..
firstly...my class....SJI 1E11 2004...we may be not too good when it comes to the books...we bow down our heads to 1E1..but when it comes to sports...dont ever think of messing around with the champions...we ar e the champions class for secondary one....can u believe that?we missed all the important events and still managed to clinch top among all the 12 classes!!!well done 1E11..i must say thzt being a sports rep. i have not done my job..i have been slacking(as usual)..i am so sorry about that..we won the challenge shield..1st time is history that 1E11 won the title...i must say that it was a match well fought and a victory that was worth winning.a great thanks to all those that contributed to the winning...thanks.we got 1st in swimming..thanks to me....1st in cross country..thanks to wei han...although akin didnt run...we must say that he did us proud...it does not matter who ran or what so ever..it is about the effort that he had put in..if i am not wrong,it is is best time.well done..and all the other funny stuff like sepak takraw...we got second overall....we mean the whole school....so u think that u are lousy..you had better think twice or maybe thrice about what you have said...so much about my class..of course...that just voice down to one thing...
we are the best
it is not over yet...let us win in consecatively...2 years in a row...no one will hinder our pathway..we will get up there and show you what is good....our bonds together will not deter although the holidays are here..in fact, it will be better next year..
no more school..means that more training and more sleep..i think that would help me..i had better get my ass into training...and i will....i have made a promise and i will not..never be broken..i mean never...i got to go now..i think this is enough and this i all i wanna say...byes...ciao

the exams are finally over.
they have come and gone.just like that.in a twitch of an eye.it's all over.so many things have came and gone.so fast.i have not blogged for almost a month.mainly because of the time constrain.yeah.training, school, and exams.finally the exams are over.how am i going to cope in my schooling life??it does not matter now.the one above me will help me when the time is right.he knows what is best for me.he will definately provide me with all that i need and all that he think would be useful to me.
today had physics paper.i think that it one of my best papers.i seriously hope that it will pull up my science results.physics...i am counting on you.all the way man.physics is the best.so much for physics that i did not even sleep!!mugging all the way..from the time wei han and i returned from mac...such a lucky guy...all that he was able to do in the paper today was all because of my brother.thnks so much kor!you are the best brother i have ever met.
the paper was rather easy.after the paper, i went to maridian to play lan.thaks for the treat hannan.suppose to accompany wei han to watch movie and all but had to go for training.what do you think.i still need to train.swimmer's life's never easy!with the physics paper over!!!this marks the beginning of a new life.everything is starting from fresh now.it's all equal.all that'sleft has gone away.don;t cry over spilt milk.all that you have done is definately enough.this statement depends on the situation of different people.that is so obvious.
went for training today.trainig was rather tiring.is it because i haven't been training for so many days?i think so. futhermore,today we did a long aerobic programme.everyone is all gearing up for their own race.was given the poem(below) today.was told by john that must remember that by monday.and i was like "WHAT!!!"so long...i then read and realised that all that he wants to tell us are all inside the poem.almost all of the COE members did not make 10 SESSIONs....was it because we wanted to slack when he was in australia enjoying himself?i certainly dont think so.so many of us had exams.it cant be helped.dont worry john...i am sure that with all the lecturing we would make 10...
summary of the poem:
ultimately,you will have to face yourself.
yeah!i think that it is so true.if you dont train,you wont see the results.if you dont train with impossible sets,you wont be able to see all the impossible results...tha's all folks...

The Man In The Glass
when you get what you want this strugglt for self,
and the world makes you king for a day,
then go to your mirror and look at yourself,
and see what that man has to say.
for it isn't your father, your mother or your wife,
whose judgement of you you must pass.
the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life,
is the guy staring back in the galss.
he is the man you must please. never mind all the rest.
for he's with you clear up to the end,
and you have passed your most difficult and dangerous test,
when the man in the glass is your friend.
you can be like another and chisel plum,
and think you're a wonderful guy.
but the man in the glass says you're only a bum,
if you can't look at him straight into the eye.
you can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
and gets pats on your back as you pass.
but your final reward will be heartache and tears,
if you've cheated the man in the glass.
