to my dearest 04A1A,
we are all Othellos
and Othellos are by nature strong. let us not be the othello that shakespeare has presented us, but rather, let us shape our own Othello. Othello is a character that exemplifies confidence, craftiness, intelligence and love. we, as the new Othello, are different from the weak Shakespearen othello. iago cannnot succeed if Othello is strong, if Othello is alert in seeing his deceptive schemes and his hurtful lies. Let our natural character traits shine for us.
no matter what, i really love you guys.
Alvyn, Angela, Daniel, Emily, Karen, Kelvin, Michelle, Norman, Raymond, Shane, Si Min, Wei Kee. uber alles.

it never rains, but pours

today is a sad, sad day. i don't think any amount of words can express my melancholy now. disappointment, like an angry dart spears right into my eye, and into my heart, my soul. they say ," when you're down, it never rains, but it pours". now i understand. the last time i was this sad because of a soccer game was back in 1999, when man utd lost to chelsea 0-5. i remember then, i was in primary school. and in the morning, i was doing gate duty(cause i was a prefect), and as i saw all my classmates coming into school, in some i could see the same sad expressions, in others, i could see joy, pure evil joy. i remember asking each one as they entered the school whether they had watched the match. there was no comfort. i was to be miserable for weeks. today, man utd lost 4-1 to boro. and while it was a five goal margin, i have to say i'm even more disappointed with the team like last time. i've said it before and i'll say it again. freaking 4-3-3 does not work for man utd. look at the amount of wingers you have; giggs, ronaldo, park, o'shea, fletcher, richardson and even convettees like rooney or scholes. we seriously need keane and giggs back. more so, we need the stable 4-4-2 formation back. if nistelrooy and rooney don't keep the goals coming, we'll be in dire need to solskjaer's services. then in the summer, we'll have to buy more midfielders. seriously, man utd wasn't man utd today. by the 75th minute, i just wanted to kick, shout, curse, smash, tear(both pronouciations) and pray, that boro would not score a 5th goal. ronaldo's goal in the last minute was unnecessary, and in my opinion, it would have been better if he didn't score. now, man utd will forever remember that their 1000th goal was scored in a match they lost.
moving on, i hope this will be a lesson for the lads. i sincerely hope ferguson gives them a hard lashing, whipping them to wake up from mediocrity. chelsea's next week. i believe in my team. man utd will be ready for them. and trust me, you never write manchester united off in the premiership.
on a side note, my well wishes goes to George Best and this family.

prom outfits for girls

hey everyone,
this entry is specially dedicated to the class girls. yup on top of all the stuff on the class blog, here i have more suggestions and ideas for you guys. and yea, don't let anyone(including yourselves) think that you can't carry these dresses off yea, cause for what it's worth, i really do believe you all can :)


Nicollette Sheridan

soft silver works gracefully with a tube dress. It's stylish, yet somewhat simple and clear.


Lauren Graham

if you're thinking about red, don't hesitate. Look at Lauren Graham, she was voted 3rd best dressed in this year's emmys! Red exemplifies the spirit of strength and determination. Yet, it is also the colour of passion, and hence, a playful spirit! Red goes exceptionally well with a spag strap dress.


Mischa Barton

Cream colours such as beige, pink or peach soften the overall look. this dress would have been perfect, if not for the shiny dangling things.


Heather Locklear

don't be afraid to go for the bohemian look. Locklear carries it off spendidly and i'm sure you girls can too! :)In this richly hued red, gold, orange and purple gown with exotic beading and ethnic embroidery, We love how this sexy style accentuates all the right curves. It definitely spices up the red carpet!


Penelope Cruz

Yellow's not too strong a statement, yet it allows you to stand out among the rest. it would look great just as the tube dress alone, without all the long drowy linen at the back. oh wow, and i just realised this image is on the class blog as well haha.

young woes

hey everyone,
so i was talking to my brother, glenn just now, and for those of you really really interested in my family, glenn is a primary 5 kid with pretty much no ambition in life. hahah ok i was too mean. anyway, he was looing kinda sad, so i asked him why. then he said "i cannot watch harry potter cause it's PG13..." haha how cute is that. then he said "but nevermind, i'm sure if pap and mom come with me, i can sneak in somehow." hahaha i was laughing like crazy. how cute.

For You To Notice
I'm starting to fasion an idea in my head. Where I would impress you with every single word I said Would come out insightful or brave or smooth or charming and you'd want to call me. And I would be there everytime. You need me. I'd be there everytime. But for now i'll look so longingly wait up for you to want me for you to need me. for you to notice me.

what i have been doing the last week

over the last week, i finally realised how to pronounce the word 'couture'....and it's nothing like how i pronounced it before haha. thank goodness no one heard me before. being having a high time on mtv, with strings of shows like pimp my ride, wanna come in, taildaters and room raiders. then there's also the premiership weekend, where we witness man utd's tough battle againt spurs, chelsea's wussy fight against the underdogs, everton, arsenal's arrogance against man city and newcastle's win over sunderland. good job man.

God's love

my family is giving me a lot of stress these few days. think i'm gonna break down soon. for the first time in 18 years, i do not feel loved. my brothers can argue with my parents, use the comp for as long as they want, not study, do basically anything they want. i get scolded for everything and anything, even by my brothers. i really try, i really try so damm hard to please my parents, with my results in school and everything, and boy, i thought i really got it this year. i guess i was wrong. my brothers can flunk all the possibly can, and they don't get scolded. my brothers are hooked onto maple sotry and spend like 6 hours on the comp per day, no scolding. i'm just rambling cuz i'm seriously damm frustrated. my state of mind is not sound. just now i was sitting down waiting to write a peom and the title 'a tombless grave' just came to my head. don't worry i won't consider suicide or anything, but yea, i do not feel loved at home. maybe i've grown old already, so my parents don't see the need to love me anymore. i can only count on God's love now.

proof i am not gay

clubs

having gone to 3 clubs in the past year(by now, clubbers from all around the world will go like 'wow, this guy's pathetic. let's all kick him with our immensely cool dancing feet and challenge him to a drinking contest. oh wait. shane doesn't drink. does this pathetic-ness never end?!??!?'), anyway yea i thought i'd do a review on them.

last year in december:Rouge.
music: surprising good. had a ball of a time.
dance floor: a little bit cramped, but i guess it's kinda ok for all you desperate guys out there who wanna get some action. has podiums for all you brave peeps out there.
ambience: like any other club i guess. 6/10.

september 23rd: Indochine
music: not bad, except i just wasn't having a very good time. furthermore, the dj and his system screwed up for a good 5 minutes, where the music went on and off, which totally killed the whole party.
dance floor: slightly bigger than Rouge's, although there weren't any podiums. actually not a very nice dance floor, to me.
ambience: slightly lousier than Rouge's. 5/10.

october 14th: ChinaBlack
music: really really bad techno and rave shit. at around 11 plus they were playing r&b, but like no one was on the dancefloor. sometimes the dj would play a nice song, and you'd expect better things to come, but no, tempermnetal nature of the dj switches back to shitty music.really really bad.
dance floor: the biggest among all 3 clubs. thousands of podiums.
ambience: not good. infested with ah bengs and ah lians. 3/10.

afterthoughts

well, grad ceremony's over and i must say that i'm really very sad to leave the school. i guess all my thoughts are sort of sumarized on the class blog. yeah, when i was making my speech yesterday, i was simultaneously thinking 'wow, i'm here. wow, it's gonna end soon. wow, it has ended'. a snap of fingers, and 2 years have gone. i can say that i really have no regrets leaving NY, save one. and oh yea, to everyone out there, please don't feel sad that i didn't tell you all i was gonna make a speech cuz yea, urm i didn't tell anyone heh. ok yay. don't hate me. :) :)

conflicts

ever experienced a time when you and your parents' wishes for you conflicted? well, as most of my close friends would know, i want to be a teacher in the future, to go back to nyjc to teach. right now, i'm not sure what, but it's gonna be either lit or european hist. my parents, on the other hand, force me to do stuff i don't wanna do. i know they mean well, and i love them for giving me all these oppotunities and advice, but i just hate it when they treat me as though i don't know what the crap i'm gonna do out of my life. my dad has dreams of me going into the military. not short term 2 year dreams, but 20, 30 year dreams. when i tell him i don't really see myself in the army for more than 2 years, he just goes all quiet, the excitement is gone, his facial expression changes. he accepts what i want, but deep down inside i know he has a deep disappointment. i am useless. deep down inside i feel like crying out and hitting myself, because seriously, i feel like hell. i am sorry, mom and dad, i am so freaking useless..

so recently i've been on an emo rampage. and i've come realise that in the music world, i can leave out everything else, except for 3 bands.
1)Taking Back Sunday
2)Dashboard Confessional
3)Dishwalla
all 3 rock.

predictions

these are my predictions for the premiership season 2005/2006.
1)contrary to popular belief, Chelsea DID NOT win the premiership title. instead they got disillusioned midway in the season and never recovered since. they finished at a rightly deserved 8th position, thereby discounting them immediately from any chance of european glory next season.

2)Man Utd wins the premiership.

3)Mourinho sells Drogba because the striker failed to score in 2 games.

4)robben is banned for looking too much like henning berg, aka a gay. teammates were reported to have complained mid season, stating the robben had touched them in their 'penalty box'. FIFA decided to take action and banned him from future matches.

5)Mourinho suddenly realises he is arrogant and can't live with himself anymore. he quits the premiership, but not before boasting to everyone that in the season, Chelsea had beaten sunderland, everton and fulham convincingly.

6)Wright Phillips quits chelsea after finding his brains and realising that for the past 32857375037590 matches, he has not been starting.

7)Essien becomes captain, after lampard decides to retire 3rd quarter of the season, and dances around like a little girl in front of 70000 man utd fans at old trafford.

8)Owen joint top scorer with Nistelrooy with 38 goals. bent who?

9)henry comes a close second with 10 goals.

10)everton, sunderland and fulham get renegated.

getting high on dishwalla.
