Lookin back at 08

wow.. one year passed just like that

08 was gone in the blink of an eye

Recap:

08 was really a fruitful year for me, i started my swimming caereer with Jack Simon and is immensly grateful to him. Without him, i doubt ill still be swimming today because i contemplated quitting at the start of this year. 08 was considered one of the better years for me, facing new challenges, like waking up at 5am in the morning to go for swimming. It was indeed a crazy year, going for my first international competitions, having to swim something other than NAG, SG open and Sch nats. 08 was the year i really opened my eyes to see the world around me. Im just happy to be where i am now, with great people surrounding me. Met loads of new friends, some became really really good and even best friends. I realised that good and best friends may not be those that who talk to you non-stop but actually those that stick with you through thick and thin. Theres really alot to elaborate but i shant go into detail.

New Year's Resoultion

1) Stay motivated throughtout the year
2) Update this blog once a wk
3) 6 secs, thats all im asking for

When i think of more ill just update this post again

1 dec to 8 dec

wow im like almost making this a weekly thing!.. last week really sucked for me, high sc, high hr, high everything, just couldnt move last wk, so mentally tiring.

but on the bright side, i still survived!

8th dec was fantastic for me! It felt really good to move fast again after a very tiring week. the 200's were particulary pleasing, nice pace work, really good work out completed. i have to say this may yet be the best session for 2 weeks. 217218220210

After the session, we played this team building game, smth like what they had in the guardian, 2 people per team and we had to push this flipper over to the other side of the pool underwater. The only rule was that only one person could come out and breathe at a time.Clement and i totally sucked for the first one. It hurt so bad man. He took so long to breathe that i had to pull him down so it was my turn to go up for air. 2nd one was fun! haha i was practically pulling clement all the way and we cordinated our breathing haha really fun and interesting team bonding game and that was the end of a fruitful training session for me, hope that for the rest of the week, it would be continue to be this good.

how the F i feel this week

Basically, im going back to the time where i had to write how i felt each week

OK this week, i feel pretty much tired, sets were long, but i was quite satisfied with the times i made during training this whole week. I was able to survive most of the first half of the sessions, but i would just die for the 2nd half. Made 10 sessions this week, and im aching like a dog all the way from Wed.

On the brighter side of things, things are fantastic and i couldnt have wished for a better week training wise. Test set on sat was fantastic, 202,26.1,30,25.1,28.3

sch is starting!

oh my 2 months of hols and my brains have all gone screwy.. haha anw i was damm bored and i started taking out my journal in pri 4 lol pretty funny and interesting stuff i wrote in there haha

24 july 2000
Today a disaster happened, when i was writing halfway, the silver part of the blue pen came out and ink flowed out. The whole paper that i was writing on was all with blue ink. I had to rewrite the whole thing all over again. I was very sad that my blue pen died!

end of entry

LOL i cant believe i actually wrote that sort of crap just to satisify the weekly 1 journal request from the teacher.. hahaits like one whole load of crap ad bullshit but i still keep these stuff to remind myself of a better and simpler time when my mind didnt have to think of such complicated stuff

anw heres a short story i read on someones blog

One day a little boy walked up to his teacher and asked, "what is love?"

The teacher replied, "I will tell you, but first you must go into a large field of corn and bring back the largest ear to me. There is a catch: you cannot go backwards."

So off the little boy went to pick the largest ear of corn. In the cornfield every time he thought he saw the largest ear of corn, he decided to venture onwards in the event he might see another larger one. In the end he came to the end of the field empty handed and returned back to the teacher mournfully, thinking about the large cobs that he had missed earlier.

"This is love," the teacher said, "you keep looking for a better one but you only realise it when you have already missed the person."

i feel this applies to everyone (:

school

wow.. i have a feeling this is gonna be a long post. Third week of school and its been really great! my class BM0708 is hilarious and very easy to talk to. I talk to them like ive known them for years! The class of BM0708 is really diverse class with ppl comin from different walks of life.. im just glad i got posted to this class. Since school started, the workload, i have to say, is surprisingly manageable and im prob to proclaim that im the most ON person in my class. Its like i motivate ppl to study and listen during lecures! haha.. a new me i guess.

Ive joined waterpolo and swimming! I got to say waterpolo is tough but with the ppl i met.. It makes training much more enjoyable.. My very first game i played was against the womans team and all i did was swim for the ball.. other than that i was relatively unknown for the rest of the game.. My 2nd game was against rjc.. swam for ball again.. and unknown again.. got owned pretty badly as a couple of first team players didnt turn up cause of flu. As a whole.. i think i sucked bad cause of my shit eyesight, but i believe all i can do is improve my reading of the game and be more quick in passing the ball to open team mates..

playoffs!

HEY ITS PLAYOFF TIME!

its been a really great season for the pistons..
alot of ups and downs.. and now we r in e playoffs!
The Pistons are just one game away from making it to the next round and i have no doubt they will make it to the eastern conference finals

Now, its Orlando magic vs Detroit and its 0-3

one nice bit of news for u chew on

The Magic asked their fans to wear blue T-shirts as part of their "Code Blue'' postseason marketing campaign, but the team wore white, making the arena look more like a Pistons crowd.

i just wanna say THANK U MAGIC FOR MAKIN YOUR FANS LOOK LIKE OURS!

wierd!

2dae was the first day of school.. nth much i guess just orientation.. but during chapel i saw smth wierd..

they played the anthony burger video which i watched at church on sunday(i distinctly remembered his name cause i thought it was cool). i found the video familar and i soon found myself enjoying the video again. After the video ended, i started to think. 'is this a msg from god to me?' its just too coincidental.. does he want me to use my talents to honour him? what does him want me to do?

im confused

Silver Refiner

i was just browsing thru some ppls blogs and i chanced upon this.. its very meaningful

Malachi 3:3 - "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible study.

That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She did not mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.

As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.

The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot then she thought again about the verse that says:

"He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."

She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.

The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?

"He smiled at her and answered, "Oh, that's easy - when I see my image in it."

Thought this was really meaningful, especially those who are going through rough times in your life, TRUST that GOD is always keeping His eyes on you(:

爱了你花了
我过多的时间和力气
离了你害了我
动也不动地摊在原地
很怕有人提起
别那黱死心塌地
我只会傻傻地
笑把泪咬在眼底
不爱了很难爱了
我成了一条被你淤积的河
不爱了不能爱了
你的脸都留在那场梦了
不爱了很难爱了
整个人失控为你悬著挂著
不爱了不能爱了
我的心装不下另一份爱
因为我爱过了
