There is this queer pen which can cap itself using static electricity.
It's actually quite peculiar. =)
I have yet to find the secret to making it work.
For the time being i'll just wait for someone to read this.
and explain to me how it really works.

_____//wah

i think that 3rd speakers who keep the rebuttals to themselves and don't give them to the 1st and 2nd speaker just in order to give themselves a chance of clinching the best speaker award are selfish. that's why you lose the debate. im sure 'driel agrees wimme. =) so all you 3rd speakers out there, dun be selfish. and sam, its not about the rebuttal not being formulated properly being the reason they lost the debate. i UNDERSTOOD you said. amazing huh. amazing but true. =) oh and i think all debaters who dare not take POIs are COWARDS. =) scaredy-cat eh? afraid of the fact that my superior intellect far outweighs that of yours? im like big ol' rugger sam, and you're like one of the tiny leg hairs in the forest on his shin. =*) afraid that you wont be able to comprehend what that i say, afraid that you'll have no smart comeback to what i counter you with? MUAHAHA!!!! COWARD. ;)

its john's burfday tmr. =) we went to pizza hut to celebrate. :) before that, in church sam was going around shooting people [including himself] with paper pellets, both him and amanda loved pulling my belt, we almost got zhao ming's pants off. yup. after lunch 'driel and john came over, we watched DRAWN TOGETHER and d simpsons. =) bwahaha.











________//all you cowards

NOT fair. owellz. im a good loser. :)

tmr's VS sports day, gonna have to go VJC. hopefully i get to see my old friends like i did last year. :) i DID NOT make it into the 4x400m relay for my house. sigh. disappointment. some guy came out of nowhere and took my would-be place. nvm lah. he's a bit better than me anyway.

oww. i jus accidentally banged my elbow against the chair and the whole thing numbed up for 1min. scaarrry. same thing happened to my knee today jus before training. my knee jus ached for 5 whole min and i couldn't move. thank God i recovered in time to launch. :)

anyywayy. gonna study now. byee/

i jus got tricked AGAIN. i hope you're happy now. coming from you. sigh.

i got reprimanded a little by my teacher cause my face hasn't been seen at sailing trainings for quite some time. owellz. i'll make up for it at the inter-schools, provided i get back up to form again yeah. bwahhaa. owellz. haven been online in a LONG time cuz kor has been constantly hogging the com from 8pm to 1am from saturday night till last night, doing some supposed homework which i never see him do. owellz. im only using it cuz he's sleeping now.

sam called and invited me to watch the gala premiere of stars wars 3. :) 'driel and kor's going too. its gonna be a blast man! woo!

i plan to go watch sam's debate in 2 weeks time. srjc. wots that? serangoon jc? dunnoe. once again, ONLY when i go watch do they win. just like the JG debates two years back. ;) ooh i read somewhere that AC lost to saints in rugby. !!!! impossible. well, that just means that sam and his team better BURN and whack the whole debate circuit man. and beat JOHN and his NJ team. ;) oh speaking of john, he's got lotsa NEW friends in church now, and barely speaks to sam n 'driel now. right john? wink. haha no lah. but still. your funny newsletter committee thing. bwahaha.

ANYWAY. i tink eye for a guy is quite a lame show. all these matchmaking reality shows. never work one lor. haha. anyway, sometimes i think the girl/guy veh poor thing. what happens if there isn't anyway one hot who joins? then u die right. i think im just bored lah. i should devote my time in preparation of the gruelling journey i am about to undertake, the one they call mid-year examinations. yup.











_____//ohmyohmy.

you're the best thing that has happened to me
and the world will never take
the world will NEVER take it away

WHOA!!!!

i figured out the whole intro riff, lead and solo for the song. =) and i think its meaningful to everything. =) and i also figured out lots of riffs and even d bass solo in d new united album. =)

went to turf city after school today for the national cross-country thing. shouted like crap, almost lost my voice. -.- bleh. i saw lotsa old friends too! never knew they were in cross. owellz. tired lah. hopped on the wrong bus on the way home. i tot it'd go to an MRT station, found out it was going to WOODLANDS. -.- ended up taking cab home. AND i realise that i've either lost or got robbed of $60+ bucks? pissed. suddenly disappeared from my wallet. like hello??!? im saving up for a new multi-effects, go pick on some other rich bugger who won't feel it lah. SIGH.

i realise that i've a physics test tmr, essay questions to write, sleep to catch up on. and im still online! blogging! wow. amazing. my hair is ugly. its rather short, so when i spike it it looks like some uneven stupid flat top thing. the only thing i like is the back, which is nice and a bit long yet not to thick. =) oh i think daddy's back. =) oh and know what??!? i found out a WEAKNESS in my discipline master. k it goes like this. on friday, he caught me for long hair and told me to cut it by monday and show him. so i did. BUT I DIN GO SEE HIM. and he forgot all about it!!!! yeah man. he is seriously blur victorians dun get taken in by OM CHIA. once i was playing basketball in uniform, den he saw, and shouted at me to go over. when i ran over, he looked quite blur when i stopped in front of him, and he said "boy, what did i call you for?" i replied "oh, i was playing bball in uniform sir." then he looked SUPER blur and went "oh, okay, next time don't do it again." i mean like what??!? HE TOTALLY FORGOT WHAT HE CALLED ME OVER FOR. bwahaha. happy mannz.

do you know united live changes its drummers for fast and slow songs? i bet you din know that right. their veh pro guitarist has a stud in his nose. both their guitarists have this super big big big box thing full of effects stuff. BOTH their worship leaders play acoustic guitars and sing at the same time. they have TWO keyboardists. their drumset has TWO snares. they have a design team that does their stage stuff. they have a choir.

but, in spite of all these differences, in spite of the cool stuff they have and all, they are still essentially the same thing as any other worship team. they are instruments of God. AND, most importantly, and im sad to say not many of us are doing nowadays, while they take so many months of preparation beforehand and all, they PRAY before everything, they PRAY after everything, they PRAY ALL THE TIME. most importantly, they TRUST EVERYTHING TO GOD. on the day of their live recording, they PRAY. and PRAY. and PRAY.

in conclusion, PRAY. TRUST EVERYTHING TO GOD. place everything in his hands and let Him do His wondrous works through you. a veh good example would be worship. focus not on the technicalities, not on what thing you're gonna play or sing or whatever, not on the people next to you. instead focus on HIM. clear all distractions and just cry out to Him and praise and worship and give Him all that He rightfully deserves. not only in worship, but let everything you do be a living act of worship unto Him, let everything you do be something that is pleasing to Him. live a God-centered life. for He is GOD. amen.

the enemy has been defeated
and death couldn't hold You down
we're gonna lift our voice in victory
we're gonna make our praises loud

shout unto God with a voice of triumph
shout unto God with a voice of praise
shout unto God with a voice of triumph
we lift Your name up
we lift Your name up



i jus came back from running with elisa. i realised that i am significantly drastically slower cause of my muscle injury they get strained so much faster. owellz. 400m timing was disappointing dun ask wot it is. my fren jus told me something online which made me super *arrgh* and kinda jealous, but in the fun way lah, not like the jealous until kill people kind. ita about a girl, if u wanna noe ask me yourself haha.

mummy and daddy came back yesterday, got lotsa food. muahaha! grow fat time. im eating baked rice now. and the new united live album is really nice and inspiring, ask me to send you some songs. =) okie bye~!







how can i not worry?
for as long as you are sad i can never be happy, till you are
i'll share your burdens, i'll share your pains
i'm happy when you're happy,
i'll be your support when you're not
i'll do all i can to help
love you.








__________//what the world will never take

i think that every time you push yourself as hard as you can during your run you MUST warm down after that, lest you become like me. jacob hiew you loser. *evil laugh*

thursday was quite good. had track heats, did so-so lah.100m got all the uber fast people in my heat. i finished 4th, timing around 13.5s? quite slow actually haha. 400m also got all the darned fast people. finished 4th too. timing 63s. poo. lousy crap. i ave a faint hope of getting into the 4x400m team, altough i dun tink so anymore cuz some *argh* guy come out from nowhere and beat my heats timing by ONE crappy second. i should have pushed harder. sigh. i did my 1st ever high jump! mind you, i've never jumped high jump EVER in my life. i dun even know how to take off. i cleared 1.3m. BWAHAHA. what a joke.

today was horrible. disappointing. well, the night before i went home super tired, so i kinda slept as soon as possible lah, even thou i had muscle aches. woke up even worse. sigh. today at PE i died. see we were supposed to run to east coast to play soccer at the field. i decided to sprint there for fun, even thou my muscles were aching. wanted to loosen up lah. i started striding and almost fell down. got UBER bad cramp. hamstring and crotch area for both legs. i died lah i stood there gasping and my legs felt like... dunnoe how to describe lah. its that kind of stupid cramp that won't go away completely even if you stretch like crap to try to take it away. and like it was one of te worst cramps i've ever experienced lah. okay nvm. so i limped to east coast, sat down at the field and spent quite long trying to stretch it all away. after that i thought, okay so since i've got a race later and im injured, so i'll play goalie. i've never played goalie so lousily before. let in a goal within 5 minutes, the ball jus trundled by me, i couldn't do anything cuz when i tried to stretch for it i strained the bloody muscle and it cramped AGAIN. like wth. okay, so after recess i went back to class, rubbed deep heating all over my leg, felt so shiok after that haha. okay then at vjc, after lunch and warming up and all, around like 5-10 minutes before the heat started, i went to practice my take-off. so i took off, took two steps and kena cramp AGAIN. ^$%&$^%#$^#(&*^$^%#*&$^. this time, SEVERE cramp on BOTH legs, from knee all the way to the crotch. so that means hamstring, crotch, knee, and all the other funny muscles. i fell down gasping once more, thank God sheng was there to help me stretch. but that showed that i couldn't run lah. even sitting down was a chore. had to slowly sit. so i sat out the heat. SIGH. jacob you suck. owellz. so after everything, felt a bit better, and went to play high jump again for fun. this time i cleared 1.35m, quite happy. BUT, my legs cramped up again, this time the muscle round my hip bone too. crap lah. had to stretch again. sigh. today, on the bus home, when it reached my stop, i stood up from my seat, and my knees hurted like CRAZY. sigh. managed to walk home too.

i got my guit back from adriel. i found that the thing's spoilt. pickups are not responding. sigh. but when 'driel used it it was okay, so i dunnoe wot's wrong. im gonna restring it maybe tmr, so i'll inspect the pickup and all lah. yeap. my guitar lead's improving, im quite happy lah haha. yeah.


but then you ran away
and i wish i had the nerve
to ask you to stay







_____//almost had you

i tink that doing stupid things brightens up your day.

1) try doing a kallang wave in class with your friends when the teacher's not looking, and see how many times u can do it till he/she notices. ;0)

2) try to dress the same way as the PRC scholars in your class do, its the new in-thing in town.

3) distract your friends when they're answering the teacher's questions. for example. if you're in chemistry class, and the poor fella wasn't listening; when the teacher asks him a question, whisper to him a random answer like "the light bulb lights up, therefore water is a conductor of electricity". hopefully he says that. see what happens.

4) pull your friends away from the urinal while he's peeing, so he'll pee all over his pants. but that's an evil one lah haha.

5) pull your friend's shirt out of his pants so its untucked, and when he tucks it back in, pull it out again. ;) repeat the exercise until he whacks you.

6) while you're walking along d corridors or smth, target a guy walking by himself. make sure you don't know him and he doesn't know you. run up to him, hold his hand and start dancing around and act like an idiot.

7) try to find out your friend's father's name, and keep calling him that. for example, if his dad's name is peter, and he happens to malu-ate himself or do something stupid, you can go like "peter taught you that izzit?". of course make sure you don't get beaten up.

8) irritate the prefects by pretending you're smuggling sweets into class when you're not, so he'll waste his time + malu-ate himself checking you.

9) when your friend's changing for PE, make sure you finish faster than he does. when he's putting on his pants, grab it and hold it there, so he'll be stuck there grappling around with his pants down cuz you're holding it. try to do it when teachers walk past. :)

10) if there happens to be a poor sod sitting in front of you, this is a really good and fun exercise to carry out. wait till he reaches back and stretches, then as quick as a flash, grab his hair and hold it there. pull his hair as low as you want and don't let go, so his head has to follow. and the next step would be just to hold him there. the poor guy will have to stay there cuz he cant move cuz you're holding his hair. ;)

i like that last one the most. its not a veh nice experience, especially when its done to you. ask jansen. he sat in front of me in class last year. ;)

tmr's sports day, pray for me that i'll run well and dont malu myself yeah. 100 & 400m tmr, 200m on friday. yupyupyup. mid-year exams are coming up in about a month's time, i really need to sit down and study. owellz. if i fail, then.... fail lor. haha. yup.






________//cheer up jie. =) i'll be here. ;)

so you're walkin on the edge
and you wait your turn to fall
but you're so far gone
that you don't see the hands upheld to catch you
for though I cannot fly
i'm not content to crawl
so give me a little credit
have in me a little faith
so you say
you should never let the sun set on tomorrow
before the sun rises today

if i am
another waste of everything you hoped for
i will let you down
if i am
only here to watch you as you suffer
i will let you down

the answers we find
are never what we had in mind
so we make it up as we go along
you don't talk of dreams
when i won't mention tomorrow
and we won't make those promises we can't keep

i will never leave you
i will not let you down







______//i'll be here. =)
