Superman
"Is it quanta-man?"
"Is it radio-man?"
"No! It is Superman!"
"So what have you learn from the above 3 quote?" the teacher questioned his students and allowed them to go home to think about it.
James went home and pondered about it. However he just couldn't get the answer. He searched the net, he went to the library, he even shot the question to maplers! Yet no matter how hard he tried, all his efforts went down the drain. In exasperation, he decided to go shit. To his surprise, he actually obtained enlightenment at the same time the shit makes the "pop-i-go-into-the-water" sound. There was literally a light bulb above his head. The toilet's light bulb.
The next day he went to school and volunteered to answer the moment the teacher shot the class the question.
"Oh while trying to make sure my shit comes out in short pieces instead of a 1m long piece, i realise what Ms Wen was trying to make us understand yesterday. It is to make us practice our summary skills isn't it? Hence the answer is simply "It is superman!""
-.- =.= o.0 >.< All kinds of expressions flashed across the classroom and suddenly everyone burst out laughing.
"Well good try, and it was a detailed explanation on the process of obtaining enlightenment too. However that is not what i am looking for." Ms wen replied.
"I am trying to bring across to you all that everyone wears a mask just like Superman does. You wouldn't know that Superman is actually a guy called Dan Hong the muscleman when you see Superman himself. Similarly, a person might appear affable and always smiling but perhaps under the mask, the person is full of hatred. I hope you all understand this and do not easily believe in anyone who is nice to you or who always smiles at you" Ms Wen tells the class and smiled warmly at them after she finished.
"Ms Wen, are you testing our summary skills? If so i think i know the answer. Ms Wen, you are smiling but at the same time you are full of hatred" James answered.
The whole class burst into laughter again.
"Good try but you think too much and too far off." Miss Wen answered with a raucous voice.
On the other hand, James sat on his chair, looking bewildered and wondering what's with the commotion.
The End
The above story is purely fictional referring to no one in specific except for 'Dan Hong' which i got the idea from a very muscular man whom i know in real life.

I am back! Indeed as i had expected, the 2 days 1 night training camp was no joke. It was probably or in fact the most hardcore and tiring softball camp/trainings i have ever experienced in two years. However i am sure it has helped me a lot, afterall what's success without hard work. From the training camp, i have realised that a lot of my techniques are wrong and that i now have to put in a lot of effort to forget my old technique and learn the correct one. Tell me what can be harder than that, it's like trying to nip your bad habit and to learn a good habit.
The reason why i am still able to blog is because my fingers are my only body parts which are not aching. My calfs, my tighs, my arms, my shoulders, you-name-it are all partially dead. Oh yes even my 'brother', which has to endure the icy cold 15 degrees water. =p The brother is inside joke, but having to submerge myself in the icy cold 15 degrees water is factual.

So the story of my interesting holidays continues, i am quite sure that i got cheated by my employer. Ok i shouldn't address them as my employer, or rather i should address them as labour concompany. Yes my time, my energy, my labour, my hopes, my pay, my saturday! Thanks goodness it has only been one day. Phew. I told my parents and they sort of laughed at me and said that it's experience. Hrmph>< My pay lehh! Oh well, but eventually i still heed their advice and treat it as experience :D
Whee, looking at the brighter side, at least i have tomorrow to spend and rest! Whee, i have great plans for tomorrow! Following by the softball training camp on monday. I have a feeling i will be a walking dead after i come back from the camp. I know it is not going to be a slack one from Reggie's sms regarding the camp Coach Suzanne planned for us. Oh well, i am going to risk my trust once more. I have no other better alternatives anyway but to believe in her.

I find a job to earn money and most importantly to kill time, not to let boredom seep into me and digest me! I was practically standing doing nothing except posing as a statue! What the heck, i don't want this kind of job! Furthermore, the products that i am supposed to promote is seriously way overpriced! I am not against the product itself totally, yes its design is good and it has won some awards. Getting a promoter will ensure that awareness of the products will increase amongst the public. However this kind of products are just like Hugo Boss, which sells once in a blue moon. Getting a promoter to the company is good, but to the promoter, it's really a badd job! Ahaha, i learn my lesson not to just accept the first job i find on classified newspaper or hear from friends. I must evaluate the jobs i find in the future more carefully and eventually decide on the job which is most worthy of my time! Sigh super tired now from standing 24/7.

Elaine Sng told me something. "Friendships are constantly forged and forgotten". Oh well i second that. Perhaps in a few days or a few weeks i will forget those kids and those wonderful memories already XD
Oh yea one more thing i like about those kids. Their insensitivity but at the same time frankness, which beats the hypocrisy which tend to manifest more and more as we get older and older. I agree. I don't deny that there are traces of hypocrisy in myself too.
I love my hols once again! Most meaningful hols i ever had(: And yea 1 more month+ to go! (:

Ahh, I have been trying to endure from not blogging about my everyday life because i want my story to appear at the top 24/7. Please, all of you, I need comments for the story. Well but that's beside the point. I really can't tolerate already and i really want to vent out all my thoughts and emotions.
Haha, don't anticipate, it's going to be happy memories i had during this holidays. One of which was spending those time at evangel free church helping the teachers take care of the small little kids while the teachers try to spend their time perfecting the year end celebrations.
I was attached to the K1 classes under Ms Lee. Well initially i still feel quite awkward and i couldn't really bring myself to stand out and try organising the students. However, i soon learn to be able to connect with the kids and yea i treat them as friends and played with them. It was happy moments. That was when i was sort of 'corrected', that i am not supposed to be playing with them, but keeping them quiet. It was kind of sad that i had to try to be stern at those kids. In the end, i had no choice but to do that. Fortunately, even being stern, those kids are still willing to play with me. It was really fun.
Hence, during the second and third sessions, i felt really much more comfortable with the kids and the teachers. Well, i was quite proud at how i handled the situations actually. I admit that i am actually more of the passive kind of people. Usually, I would tend to just want to have fun with people and i don't really know how to be stern and give them orders. Hence i wasn't really made to be a leader. I was aware of that problem but i really didn't try to kick the bad habit. In fact, this cip was the first step in blooming me into a leader. A leader who can connect with his followers and yet at the same time command obedience from them. As the saying goes, "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step in the right track". This is the first step, the right step.
I am going to miss you kids, Ashley and Rachel the cute twins, Winnie the clown, Jordan the guy who likes to play catch with me, Xinyu, Clarice, Maygen, Wei Hern, etc etc. Last but not least, i want to thank Mr Spencer, Mdm Alice, Ms Lee, Elaine etc, for giving me the opportunity to try out this cip, the cip which i enjoyed most ever.
Ooh, tmr's my first day working! It was kind of impromptu, i only had training yesterday and today they informed me that i will have to start tomorrow. Gosh, i better go memorise all the products' information and details. I am really nervous.
What a fruitful holiday so far(:

Apoptosis (Updated 13/11/06)
His rolex watch showed that it is already ten minutes past two in the morning. Nobody would be able to notice that the rolex watch on Kevin's wrist is a fake. It was made so real and perfect, just like Kevin's impeccable tuxedo outfit. Kevin can't wait for everything to end. It was the last transaction, and a hefty sum of money would be waiting for him.
Kevin couldn't believe his luck initially too. He had just been retrenched three months ago when his company went busted. He couldn't accept the fact that just a day ago, he was sitting in one of his company's largest office. He couldn't believe that in one day, his high salary of ten thousand a month is reduced to zero. What was more surprising was the offer he received the next day. An annonymous man had contacted him and asked if he would be interested in the job of a middle man. He only need to deliver a briefcase twice every month for three months, and he would received a five hundred thousand paycheck at the end. Everything has been going smoothly and today was the last meeting. Kevin glanced at his watch, ten minutes had just passed again. The person was late, as usual.
Every minute that Kevin still had to wait increase his heartbeat rate. Kevin glanced at the sinister briefcase beside him, and he wondered what it was. He had a very strong urge to peek inside. Thousands of possibilities of what the briefcase might contained popped into his mind. However Kevin's nature and conscience never allowed him to do anything against his integrity.
Kevin's head jerked up. He heard a loud bang. This was the first unusual encounter he had experienced ever since he started working for his annonymous boss. His heart started beating faster and faster. He prayed that everything would go smoothly. Suddenly, his head felt an acute pain, followed by his butt. Kevin lost his balance and fell to the ground. It was painful, and he looked up. In front of him, four malicious looking hoodlums towered above him.
"Fuck you all. What do you all want from me?" Kevin shouted in exasperation.
Those hoodlums ignored him. After conversing in a language Kevin couldn't understand, one of the hoodlums led out a grin. He stared at Kevin. The next moment, all four of them started beating Kevin. Kevin tried, but he couldn't resist them. Kevin gave up the struggle and soon, his mind slipped into darkness...

Apoptosis...(continued)
It was another hectic monday morning for Daniella. The moment she stepped into office, requests for her help buzz around her ears like a swarm of bees. That is the catch of being a mortuary assistant albeit having a good pay.
"Daniella, Dr. Winston wants you in the 'sewing room' as soon as you reach," Sharon the secretary shouted to her.
The sewing room is the common name of the autopsy room given by the staff. Daniella had no idea why the staff came up with that nickname. It was told to her once she started work two years ago. Without any hesitation, Daniella rushed down to the mortuary.
"Great, my apprentice is finally here," Dr. Winston exclaimed once he saw Daniella enter the room.
Dr. Winston is a well-built and good-looking guy in his mid 40s. His affable personality further boosted his X-factor which attracted Daniella to him. Over the two years, Daniella has been working closely under him and over time, she soon developed some feelings for Dr. Winston.
Daniella looks as though she just had a shower when she entered the room. It was a long way from the entrance of the building to the autopsy room and Daniella had to sprint all the way with her heavy breakfast in her stomach. However, she doesn't want to disappoint Dr. Winston. After working with him for two years, she knows that he is very strict on punctuality and she didn't want to disappoint him.
"Now, can you tell me what you feel about this body?" Dr. Winston asked with a chagrined look on his face.
Daniella looked down at the body and the sight immediately made her feel nauseous initially. She has never seen such a badly decomposed body before in her two years of working in the mortuary. The skin was in bad shape and all the skin were hanging everywhere. The internal organs looked as though they were submerge in strong acid, disfiguring everything.
"It's bad isn't it," Dr. Winston added. "The police found an identification card in his wallet but his family couldn't identify the victim due to his badly decompose state. They found this body beside one of the rubbish dump near Time Square. Don't you think this case is quite interesting?"
"Well, i do agree that the body looks very bad," Daniella replied. "But I don't see how interesting it can be. I mean, isn't it another one of those murder cases where the bodies were left to decompose?"
"On the surface, I thought it was so too. However, a few people actually claimed that they met the victim a roughly three days ago. For a body to decompose to such a bad state, it will need at least a week and given that the body is submerge in water," Dr. Winston said.
"Hmm, what's the victim's name?" Daniella questioned.
"Kevin Dyostzky," Dr winston replied.

Deep within myself, i know i will never be able to bury the hatchet. Probably, this is the first time so much hatred has been accumulated in me. I am sorry to say, that this invisible wall is going to stand there until one day a miracle happens. I am sorry to say, that if this wall is going to be the gap that prevent the two halves from joining back together, i don't care. For i hate nothing more than ******* in my life.
On a happier note, i recieved my gpa back yesterday. Glad to say that i have met my expectations, or even surpassed my expectations for this semester by 0.1. Yea i improved from a 2.8 last semester to 3.6 this semester. The moral of the story is, 'you reap what you sow'.
I remember having gone through this kind of feeling many times before. Every year when i am promoted, everytime when i have to leave a group of people, every moment when i start reflecting and recollecting the sad or happy memories spent together, i will feel this way which cannot be described by words. I can't say whether it is a boon or curse that this year is ending. Only time will tell.

So i've watched Deathnote with 'brothers' (guys-wannabe), and i went to watch The Prestige with the real guys today. Unfortunately, both groups didn't want to watch The Guardian with me. However, thankfully both shows were really good. Both shows have very good plots and good casts, especially The Prestige which has so much twists in the story. However, i am still looking for people to watch The Guardian with me. My pocket is becoming a complete hole soon. So please ask me out to watch The Guardian before my pocket really becomes a hole.
I've chosen and more or less confirmed my combi. BCME. Had a dilemma whether i should take KI or GP, but i guess i wna do all BCME at at least a H2 level, so i'll settle for GP.
