DREAMS. /10:25 PM
Do you know who she is?
What do think of her?
Is she really what you think she is? Well, think again.
Well, in fact, this lady up there is known as Susan Boyle. Taking part in "Britain's Got Talent" was a major milestone in her life. She looks like any ordinary suburban middle-aged woman. At the age of 47, she is making the turning point of her life.
And she's done it.
When she first came on stage, she was laughed at and sneered at. But did she back out? No..
She stood there, hands grasping onto her dream. The audience quieten down, a green light from the judges and there she lifted up her microphone and sang. Her amazing voice stunned the crowd and received a standing ovation that none has ever gotten. The feeling, the adrenaline rushing in her veins. The joy. The happiness. It was worth it. To prove what you are, is just simply the greatest thing.
I SAY, WELL DONE, Ms Boyle.
She wants to become elaine page.
I believe, that's not achieving the impossible. In reality, dreams are not what we meant it to be. But taking action, moving on, taking that very first step. Gets you closer to achieving that.
Its never too late to change, just make the first step.
And you're on your way, my friend.
"OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL"
3 words.
We are all given the same opportunity. That is, to live on this world we call home. We have families. But to unfortunate ones who do not. But one thing that we all have in common, no matter race, religion, country whatever. We have the power to change. The power to be that person to say, "hey, I can do better." Or be even the person who pushes, motivates, the people around you.
Change must start from within. Change the way you act, change the way you think.
Strong-headed. Foward-looking. WIDEN your landscaping span. Look around you. Don't just look at the path you are walking.
You have friends, who may even tread the path with you.
Friends, Are they the pillars of support? YES
Family, Are they the pillars of support? YES
Who has the power to change? You & only you...
There are moments in which you have to let go of those supports and just walk freely.
Alone.
Don't give up, Don't turn back. Keep moving. Following the light that has spurred you on from the very beginning.
FINISH IT.

"APOLOGY" letter? /10:47 AM
Well Done, VS. /7:13 PM
VICTORIA SCHOOL took on SINGAPORE SPORTS SCHOOL and ended with a draw of 2 -2.
A tremendous effort put in by the guys, self-motivated, pushed on head-on.
Unfortunately, resulted in Iskandar a head-on collision with a SSS soccer player. Ouch.
SSS player walked away "unknowingly"
After all, remember, GPS is what we are. Victorians are ultimately a Gentleman, a Professional and a Sportsman, all clearly demostrated during the game. Baik, VS.
I salute you guys, B-div soccer players.

Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open. -Elmer G. LettermanDo the right things right, and don't the tread the path of the wrong.
/10:52 PM
Do not walk in front of me cos' i may not follow.
Do not walk behind me cos' i may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
i was surfing the net and stumbled across this website and found it pretty meaningful.
1.) A friend will always be there for you even when they physically can't. It may be through email, letter, or phone. You always know that you can contact them and that they will respond.
2.) A friend will always be honest with you and not just tell you what it is that you want to hear.
3.)A friend will understand.
4.) A friend will care.
5.) A friend will love unconditionally.
6.) A friend will listen.
7.) A friend will know. (what to say, what to do, and what to be-even when you do not).
8.) A friend will be happy for you.
9.) A friend will never leave. Miles may separate you but hearts will always keep you together.
10.) A friend will always know what being a friend is, what being a friend means, and will understand your every mood.Their are so many more things that being a friend means, but these are a few that I look for and have in my true friendships. It seem so odd sometimes. Months will sometimes pass where life get busy and phone calls or visits to friends do not occur. Then one day the phone rings and it is that special friend, and it seems like just yesterday that we talked.Is that the answer to the top quality of a friend?-taken from http://www.helium.com/items/85594-ten-qualities-every-friend-should-have

23rd JUNE! YAY! haha.. but retainers are gonna be hell..
Moving on, today is INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY! so VS celebrated the day by having us watch movies related to that, but i went for my dental appointment so UNFORTUNATELY, i couldn't watch them.. SAD :).. i mean ):
Main thing today was chem prac! Quite cool.. we had to experiment on the cations and anions reacting to different substances. And one of them was pretty, i mean VERY cool. Sparkly and stuff like that. Yellow crystals, they say.
You can guess what substance is this if you did the practical before haha..
Well, during my trip to NDC, i took a few photos of the skyline. Here's one of them, take a look :D
Well.. its like Life is step-by-step process, like a bridge! Those holes are the obstacles you have to jump over and reach the other side!
Far yet accomplishable.
CYCLING TRIP (cont) /11:22 PM
ah.. ok.. i shall resume with the post on the cycling trip. and good news, NO CASUALTIES! woots! No severe injuries, incapacitations, DEcapacitations, bala-ku-s and other self-inflicting injuries, all was GOOD! :)
Pics, Pics and More Pics.
Got some emo shots of IVAN WEE.
sitting and overlooking the quarry with an emo hunch, so standard one.. see!
CURRENT MINDSET: COMTEMPLATING ABOUT LIFE..
Got a future, foward-looking Ziyad. Planning far ahead. All these inferences. Literally, he's looking PRETTY far ahead. SEE?
Was cycling at the back with Sean and Ziyad, till Ziyad went ahead with the group, i was left behind and found myself with Shervin, Terence and Sean. There was a sudden downpour so we took shelter in one of the huts and met one of the locals, the PRs of Ubin! See for yourself! :D
slumped on the hut bench, kop-ing the seats to allow itself to immerse into his wonderland of dreams. haha.. but its was rather friendly, interacted with the people who sought shelter too, even
GAVE ITS SEAT FOR LADIES, HOW GENTLEMANLY CAN THIS DOG GET?One word, wow.
This was a birds eye view from the watchtower from the earlier post. Technically, its a birds eye view of the people BELOW.
You know that when you step onto Ubin, you smell the air, sometimes fresh and you stumble upon spiders who are not exactly your cup of tea. They are MASSIVE. size of my palm. Rather common in Ubin. More specifically, More common in the toilets. But i took these by the hut we sought shelter from the rain.
Concluding this short post, with some scenic shots in the morning and in the evening of the trip.
ON THE BUS TO CHANGI JETTY...
ON THE BUMBOAT BACK TO S'PORE...
Haiz.. Success is just like climbing a mountain, each stepping stone is a path. Tread on the right path and you're on your way.
Tread on the wrong path, It's alright, just stand up, and TRY AGAIN.
THERE IS NO FAILURE IN LIFE, ONLY LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
/1:21 PM
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to
flirt and
behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
wait.. wait.. im seductive? O~O nah... to both of these points ><Your views on education:
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable,
with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.
ooo.. i have mood swings.. perhaps im pregnant? NAH....
PULAU UBIN CYCLING TRIP /8:00 PM
today is sort of the last meeting for scouts before the MYEs..
its quite fun but the bikes tend to spoil and and there are lots of creaks and cracks, but overall, a wonderful and enjoyable experience.
Well, i'll just go straight to the jizz of today's happenings.
Photos tell a thousand words, maybe even more.
the super emo tree who is deserted, isolated from the main "flock".. haiz..
SPOTTED AT MAMAN BEACH.
Guys, Meet Gerard Ong.This is a photo of me and my fellow "ong" who is posing as his (un)usual self, a mat. I don't know for some reason, but he can actually act astoundingly like one. xD - taken on the watchtower.
-taken on the bumboat...oh when they say the sky's the limit, i say
THE SKY ISN'T THE LIMIT, THERE IS MORE TO ACHIEVE BEYOND THAT.
Cheers!
Will post more photos in time to come
/10:49 PM
ah.. im gonna do two posts..
8 APRIL '09
it's my birthday today! and kristal's, and perhaps maybe many other people around the globe. But is there something missing? Who do we simply forget in our time of fun and joy, entertaining your guests and stuff like that?
The two people i would thank are my parents.
They brought me into this wonderful world, letting me experience, letting me feel, the things around me. To make friends, especially very good friends. They're our pillars of support, standing there when you fall and are there to offer that helping hand..
"Son, come on, stand up" and a hand stretches out towards you and a bright smile beams across their face..
Thank you for bringing me up for the past 15 years.. showering me with love and care that i have always treasured. I must thank you for that, really. when they say motherly love is great, i think a fatherly love is good too. My dad is a man of a few words, but i know, he cares. thanks dad :)
My mum, she shouts, making sure i do not make the same mistake again, she cares.
Once again, Thank you mum and dad! :)

"It's those little imperfections that make life perfect"
My dad brought us to Sakae Sushi for dinner, and man, was a a wonderful dinner.
There you can see a portion of my 2nd eldest brother, Yong Cheng, as the conveyor belt spins around with delicious, scrumptous and a wide assortment of sushi swing by..
And here i am with my eldest brother, who is going to NS this monday and you'll see him soon cleanly-shaven. He's going to pulau tekong for his BMT for 3-4 weeks. Well, when time flies, it really flies. He'll be out even before we know it :D
Here's a picturesque picture of my brother and mum! :D

"Downcast" "Outcast" /9:55 PM
Responsible blogging. To vent your anger by typing it out on your computer and letting the whole world see is not exactly the wisest thing to do..
There are many ways to vent your anger. I know you're feeling a hell lot of pressure, from the people around you but i know you can hold on. Push on. Perservere. Never Give Up. Never ever have the thought of it.
"If you cross the line, you'll just trip and fall.."And it is from this, we learn to stand up. We do not hide away out faces, away from the public eye. We face what we did wrong.
FACE THE MUSIC as people would say. Yes, i agree with this wholeheartedly. If you have the guts to do it, you will have the guts to face the consequences, and i believe you have did that. ____________________________________________________________________
After scouts today, went to popular to buy the new patrol logs with ivan, gerard, chan an and haoyang. Popped into macs and saw laura! kinda expected, waved and said hi and wow.. she's changed :D and that's a good thing, don't be mistaken yo!
I bought 2 coffee buns and kop some fries from ivan, THANKS! and rushed back to school for PLC, having the thought that we were late,
BUT, we were 15min early! so we chilled in the hostel, talked about stuff here and there and went for PLC as soon as everyone was ready.Discussion about next week's cycling trip at pulau ubin. which coincides with ms wong's gathering! D: well.. we'll see about that soon.
Apologies to ms karen wong! D:Came back, whew.. was bushed.. tired.. exhausted.. sudden feeling of sleep deprivation.. yet here i am, with my butt resting comfortably on my roller chair, typing this y'all, haha lol.. HAHA :D laughing is the best medicine, but not for the ulcers in my mouth =.= which is killing me... ugh..
Well, you can find me facebook, camping there for now.
wiz_overload@hotmail.com. that's me email yo! Cheers! :)

"With great power comes great responsibility"
Well actually, on the contrary, you don't need great power to have great responsibility. Everyone has made mistakes, and one must be responsible for his actions, to answer for it, to admit them.
It takes even more courage to own up after one has done wrong, or even lay off temptation.
"Don't steal"
"Don't steal" What spurs on stealing? The opportunity, the desire, the temptation. If any one of these is taken away or not even brought into the picture, stealing would never occur.
To trust, is another important factor. Is it really that hard? To trust and then to lose it from people around you. "Eh, he not good la.." "Wah lao.. kena sai la.." all this remarks, Is it meaningful? What difference does this make? Does it change anything? No. What he or she must do is to learn from his or her mistakes, never tread again on the beaten path. And from his or her mistakes, we learn NOT to be like him, but not treating him like an outcaste, but a lesson learnt.
I gave that opportunity, I have learnt my lesson. Now i must mend..
/1:13 PM
HEY YO! 2nd day of e-learning and once again i am shut out of the system! =.= and walked with jansen and stella to school, caught up with old times. Looks like things have changed, i mean alot.. seriously.. new organisations so hate ppl and stuff like that..
/5:02 PM
Ah.. after a few hours, the LMS is finally working again.. whew.. went thru the presenters and quizzes but i havent done the 1st designated slides for SS and that equals DEEP SHIT by mr imran.. time really flies.. its already march. and soon its MYE.. haiz.. if only we could stop time and just think of the memorable moments we spend together. wouldnt that be just great?
And i just found out that i tend to get literature-ly. always using "thy"s and "thou"s LOL.. and i also tend to beat about the bush.. as in really in CHINESE TOO... and my mom's forcing me to read those OMY chinese papers.. i try to but it really bores me.. and im tired.. but i can't say that cos my parents are working and they are EVEN TIRED than me, so im in no position to say anything. I respect them for that, dedicating their long hours, or even days for us to be happy. And i believe a simple "thank you, dad" or "thank you, mum" goes a long way for them. Or even coming out of your room when your parents come home, a simple acknowledgement is good!
"how are you?" these three words ring in people's heads most of the time, and it is most neglected. Parents come home and the first thing they say is.. "have you eaten?" "How is your day?" and most importantly, "How are you?" A feelng of warmth just runs through your blood. A feeling of peace. A feeling of "yeah, she cares.."
Moments of scolding, moments of sadness.. these are common really.. why do parents scold you for getting lousy results? Why do parents scold you for doing the wrong things? why? Because they care. Because they love you. Maybe its just because they didnt want you to make the same mistakes as they did.
To learn to pick yourself up.
To stand up after you have fallen.
