Dear Journal, didn't go to school today.Couldn't get myself out of the bed so i just decided to take a day off. Must be yesterday's PE and tennis after school for 2 hours that did the damage. I need to rest well for the big day tomorrow at macritchie which i have been training for the past few weeks. I had better not screw up like i did 2years ago. I'm gona do my country proud.... Let's see....last wednesday i got embarassed infront of the taurus house thanks to my teacher where he introduced me as Park Jisung. So no more sagging Sagitarius house and the vilient taurus house this year. Saturday was FUN.i went for a potluck at Ms Goh's place with my secondary accounting gang where i stuffed myself with junk food. It was really nice to see my friends again. After the dinner, i headed for Janice's chalet at aloha changi from Novena. reached the chalet around 12am where i saw david and company watching some lame chinese show. Drank and crapped the whole night with David and company talking about the old days. Surprisingly,i wasn't drunk even though i consumed quite a deal of alcohol. Slept at 6am the next day and woke up by 10 to pack up. Then went to tampines with kevin,david and jasper to eat. Then took a long bus back home. 2 bloody hours.Crashed my bed immediately upon reaching home. yesterday.....PE was rough just because manchester united lost to Arsenal and my teacher was unhappy about that.that's why all the guys are concious about manchester united matches. No running if man utd wins the EPL.Cool.haha. Last but not the least, Happy 18th birthday to Mohamed Zhilun.All the best for everything throughout this year & thanks for everything last year. =)

Dear Journal,i find it a chore to update my blog consistantly.maybe i should close shop.i don't know.opinions from my readers? Shall just briefly summarise the past month. Came back from Korea on the 25th December. Had potluck at yicheng's place with my secondary school friends on the...ermm..27th i think....then i left for Thailand on the 29th morning,spending my last and first day of the year in bangkok. The trip was kind of boring thanks to my dad who insisted on mainly visiting temples.i'd rather stay home and study.really. So now i feel like puking whenever i come across a temple. if there's 2 things i liked about the trip, they are trying my first bungee jump and shopping. Don't believe i had the guts to do it? i'll be uploading the pictures soon. Things there were super cheap man. But if you don't know how to bargain then you only get cheated. I really learnt how to bargain.We got cheated by the travel agency during the trip. Really pissed man.shucks. Since,young i travelled a lot thanks to my dad who liked to travel. Well,i learnt nothing out of those trips because i was always sleeping back then. But for this trip,i learnt a lot when i see kids as young as 5 years old helping out their parents earn money. Kind of made me think what i was doing all along. i just didn't realise that poverty was that bad in Thailand,especially in Bangkok. I guess afterall it was a trip to remember. i guess i learnt from this trip that travelling is not just about having fun or catching breathtaking scenaries but it's more about absorbing what we see and learning as much as we can from what we see. One thing for sure is that there's never an end to how much we can learn and how many times our lives can take our breaths away.I missed the first day of school because there were no tickets on the 2nd of january and i took the last ticket from bangkok to s'pore on the 3rd. My parents had to fly to Hat Yai then fly back to s'pore where they arrived on the 4th. Orientation was kind of boring. I guess it's because we didn't really interacted with the new J1s. Even the disco night wasn't as fun as i imagined. The timetable for the first week was super slack like some kidergarten school timetable. 2~3hours break after 1 lecture. My classmates,they're alright. Luckily, zhilun and zijie are still in the same class as i am. Or else i would have felt kind of left out.Had a CCA reunion barbeque last Saturday at one of my senior's house. Had fun but shall not go into details. Pictures speaks a thousand words so i'll just upload some pictures of that day.2006 has passed and 2007 took a step into my life.I feel like i just finished one chapter of a book and going on to the next one.I just feel weird everytime one chapter has been read.i hope i can really the chapter of 2007 slower with more understanding unlike the chapter of 2006. I guess to sum 2006,it was a busy year so it passed kind of fast. Busy yet fun. I guess now that i have more time to spare,i can set some personal targets while i study this year. Like losing weight and taking up piano again. Now i'm training for the upcoming cross country held on 24th of jan and hopefully i can come in under top 15 without blacking out like i did when i was sec 4. To touch up this entry, i would like to thank everyone who supported me throughout the year of 2006 and hopefully will continue supporting me this year as well. I'm really greatful for that and i will be trying my best to support everyone too. Wishing everyone a pleasant 2007 where it will be another meaningful and fruitful year like 2006 was. Happy new year! =) Thank you 2006 for the memories...Farewell & goodbye.
