Don't Ever Give Up
Wednesday, April 28, 2010 @
I hate rushing assignments.
It makes u annoyed
and shows that you are not disciplined enough.

Seriously
Makes me wonder why did chose
this course in the first place.
Freaking Hell.

Oh yeah.
and I told myself during the holidays
I was going to be ready for this semester.

...

Guess not huh?

Nevermind.
I need to pull through this
and then I can a break.
Jia you!

@

God I just love this picture.
:D

I remembered watching the game 4 halfway
where I randomly thought of the moment
LeBron threw a vicious dunk over Garnett.
so that made me thought...
"Will Wade's turn ever come?"

A few minutes later.
He just swoosh in and threw that over Garnett.
...
Yeah. I just punched my fist into the air.
It freaking came true.
It just freaking did.

So later.
7am.
Heat vs Celtics game 5
An all-or-nothing match.
Go HEAT!!




Tuesday, April 27, 2010 @


19 Points in the 4th quarter.
Celtics as a whole scored 15 points in the 4th.
Now compare that.
Wade outscored them alone.

Talk about amazing?
He's Dwyane Wade.

Sadly, Heat is still down 1-3
one more loss and the season ends here.

But hey
Thank Wade for putting up a show.
46 points and just scorching the entire Celtics team.

I am short of words now.
Just let his playing do the talking yeah?

Anyway
assignments piling up.
Italian quiz tomorrow some more.

Looking forward to
Game 5 @ Wednesday 7am.
But workload will decide whether I watch or skip.

Nevermind...
I chose this course
so I must take the responsibilities.
Jia you!

Currently watching game 4
possibly a final game
or a hot 4th quarter to revive the series.

But in case Heat loses
The feeling will really suck.
It's like watching someone with horrible attitude
walking away with the the reward
even though they really are capable...
It just pierce straight into your heart.
Ouch.

Anyway
after the match
Gonna get a quick rest
and then start working on
the assignment.

I think I'm learning more and more
things in life especially
which I feel is a good thing.
I'm happy for myself

Maybe sometimes
we look back and start thinking
how emotional and foolish we used to be
but
I guess I must still appreciate them
because if it weren't for them
I wouldn't have become who I am now.

I may not be the best person
the nicest, smartest, good-looking etc.
But I guess being yourself is the most important.

Life is ours to control
It may not go our way all the time
but there will always be chances
what matters most is that
the difference is ours to make.

Good night people.

Yesterday was fun.
Like really haven't had so much fun in a while.

Although I didn't play much or well
it was still enjoyable.

The 4-on-4 whereby we won by 1 point
was the wildest experience I've ever had.

It was wild to me
because the whole game was going so fast.
Normally in games, I would have time to think, predict and respond.

Yesterday turned out to be exact opposite.
The whole game was so fast
I could only react on the spot and
there was just no time to think.

One of the worst parts were their pick-and-rolls
3 consecutive times
could have killed us, like seriously.

On the whole I didn't contribute much
but it felt good to win.

But I have to agree with Chang Xu
By right we should have lost that match
if they had shot the ball well.
Many of their balls just bounced off the rim.

Nevertheless
the experience was good.

Slept nearly 10 hours after that
today...
assignments.
HAIZ.

-.-

Thinking to watch
Heat vs Celtics at 1am later.
This could be the very last match
or
the Heat will put up a good show
to get back in the series.

Go HEAT!!

Waiting for the dreadful rain to stop.

I have a huge flaw
something very few people can see
because I guess
I don't usually show it.

The flaw?
Hatred and anger.
Sounds pretty serious.

if you know me well enough
I don't get really angry that easily.

So of course if that happens
it means something isn't right.

I'm not saying I am always right
but I will always try my best to tolerate
and avoid any conflicts possible.

But I can get really annoyed
if it happens over and over again.
And when that happens
I start to despise that person
and whatever he do will never be right.

The worst thing is that
even though in my heart I can see something good in that person
That person will remain on the black list.
Yes, no matter how,
it seems impossible for me to accept that person.

I'm not aiming at anyone here.
But just addressing a problem of mine
which been around for long.
But like I said
I just somehow can't bring myself to accept that person anymore.

Yeah. Hopefully
it is something I can deal as I mature.
I know very well how much I hate conflicts.

Damn.
I hate Celtics so much.
I can't deny they are good.
But they trash-talking and pride are getting on my nerves.

Shut up and play the game.
Don't bring so much trash-talk into the game you love dammit.
and
to think i used to respect them so much.

Alright.
Rain is going away
Off to play ball!

Reflection.

Learn to stop thinking too much.
Just let them come naturally.
Nobody's perfect.
Everybody's bad at something.

Past is the past.
But they leave everlasting experiences and memories.

Future will be uncertain
But they give excitement and motivation.

We have the present though.
Learn to treasure them
for every moment they will become the past.

Yeah.
Sometimes I feel that I stress myself so much
that I don't give myself enough credits for my effort.

Alright.
Preparing for school.

Geez. Last time wake up 7+ to get to school.
Now 3-4+ then go school.
What a huge change man -.-

Change's been going on every day.
My family especially
has been a huge part of my life
I've seen many things that sometimes
I wonder will I be the next to change?
But I will be certain that I want myself to be myself.
Yeah.

Anyway
Weekends! Weeee!
Breakfast, Basketball and...
Assignments.

Ciao!

Ciao!
Io mi chiami Yong Xi.
Sono Singaporeano.
Studio a Temasek Polytechnic
la scuola e Disegno

Italian class.
Nothing but tough shit.

Can't wait for weekends to come
then I can play ball again.
:D

I kind of regret not joining basketball...
but then again
I don't think I would have made the team anyway.


Jackson:
What do you want that Father to say to the son/daughter,

about the type of player that you were?

Wade:
You know what?
When that moment happens, you know, I want them to say...
You know when I came to watch that guy play, he gave his all every night.
Whether he had it or not and he played the game like it was his first time playing the game every time. That he loved the game and he didn't give anything a chance.

I just respect him so much.
Haha. Dwyane Wade FTW!

Some people hate him, criticize him
but whatever
There will always be likes and dislikes in this world.
Nobody's perfect.
But still
Respects to this man
for making me love the game so much.
(Y)

Woots!

For now that's about all.

An interesting thought

Will I leave an impact?

Haha.
Okay.
Shut up Yong Xi :X

Year Two started out great I guess
:]

Had fun with a few IAD peeps
playing board games at EHub.

Although I guess
we should have eaten elsewhere.

Somehow
I don't know why
but
My appetite is just...
getting worst.
I'm eating lesser and lesser.

I really don't know what's wrong.
Hopefully it isn't anything serious.

Alright, class starts tomorrow
let's just see how I perform tomorrow.

Sometimes kids are annoying.
But guess we just need to see a cuter side of them.
:]

I guess we are all the cutest when we don't know anything.
cheers!


@
Supposed to blog at 11pm.
But I was so tired I fell asleep...
So now then blog.

So holidays are officially over.

I haven't played my best.
But I've been enjoying my last 2 bball outings.
Friday and Earlier on (Sunday)

It's like I'm relaxed and just letting
the game come to me.

I want to say this.
I love this game. I really love it.
It's already part of my life.
This game taught me a lot of things in life.

It's a really competitive sports
We all want to be the best and play the best.

I know myself, I get emotional very easily.
When you are on the court, you give your best.
When you make a mistake, you know you need to play better.
It's respect to your opponents
It's respect to yourself
It's respect to your game.

I know I talk a lot trash
But I'm learning to shut up and play now.
If I did it before, I hereby apologize

I may not play good
I may not play better than any of you
But I love this game a lot

Officially Year Two
It's important for me.
Sadly, I'm still in holiday mood :/

Luckily there's no class tomorrow
So hopefully I have time to get back
to this schooling mood.

This year I will need to work out several things

How to be better, not just work harder but also smarter.
Determination and perseverance
Self-discipline

I'm going to buck up!
:]

maybe I shouldn't care
but if you are reading this
Cheer up!
Be strong!

I don't know what's the problem.
But as a friend,
I hope you will get through it.

Jia You!

Saturday, April 17, 2010 @

PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!

EXCITED!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!

:D

---

I like to daydream

I like to dream about what I can do in the future
the best is that I can impact people's lives.

I'd always imagine myself
in other rural countries
trying to make a difference in their lives
even if it's a little bit

They don't need game consoles
They don't need expensive accessories
They just need necessities
clothes, shoes, food, anything we would use every day.

Anything like that can bring smiles to their faces.
It's so simple, isn't it?

I don't know if I can do that in the future.
But I will hope so.. :]

It's seriously a funny picture
but it automatically brings a smile to our faces too
:]

I'm having better dreams now.
Jia you!
:]

Friday, April 16, 2010 @
It's decided.

HEAT vs CELTICS
(Eastern conference first-round match-up)

I'm pretty pumped up for this
a lot more than going against Hawks.

Even though they went 0-3 against Celtics in the season.
Coming to the playoffs will be a different thing.

I'm pretty sure if
the HEAT plays consistent
plays focused
plays Good D
we are gonna pull out this upset
and dethrone the Celtics.

Game 1 [SG time]
Sunday, 8am
HEAT @ CELTICS

09-10 sophomores: Michael Beasley and Mario Chalmers

Celtics Big Three: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen

Dwyane Wade and Jermaine O'neal

Let's go HEAT!!

Thursday, April 15, 2010 @

I miss secondary life T.T

!@%!#^&$&!#$%@#$~$!@#

Where I could annoy people for no reason

Where I could talk cock with idiots

Where I could just follow school "laws"

Where I could play basketball like no tomorrow

Where I could just behave like a kid

Because
I'm no longer a kid now.

Yeah.
I'm old now...

*sniffs*

*ahem*

...

..

.

Oh.

And my white hair's growing back.

WHAT?!!


Wednesday, April 14, 2010 @
I will try to be as crazy as I can.
Haha this blog cannot go emo forever.

Hornets came back and beat me by 4 points.
Damn it -.-
Better luck next time.

---

Anyway
I was watching the show Zombieland with my brother
I tell you
I was a freaking sissy.
I hate gore so... can't be helped -.-

Actually the show wasn't too disgusting because
it was supposed to be a comedy.
There are worst zombie shows than this.
And I will not watch them.
NO WAY. HELL NO.

School's gonna re-open soon.
Somehow I feel so-so about it :/
But the idea that popped up is that

I think I wanna do morning jogs before I head to school.
Like either every morning or alternate days.
They say it helps you to stay fresh and also
I think exercising will keep me healthy.


for 17 years in my life
I think I've been an extra easy-going and tolerant guy.
Whether small shit or big shit come my way
I will shut up and do my best to tahan.

There was this point in sec 4 where I almost hit my friend
because he was being extra childish and effed-up.
But I still held back and just walked off.

Sometimes it makes me wonder
how come when I am sad or angry
it makes no big deal to others.
But when they are sad or angry
I will try to help out, even though sometimes I am totally helpless.

The word 'unfair' just comes to your mind.

Oh well. Whatever.
I also seem to hate it if people think I've changed to become a different person.

I mean...
I know myself alright.
How can a person who thinks a hell lot about every possible shit
not know himself well enough?

Alright, enough thoughts.
Life's gonna be better.
This shit will get through fine
:]

Tuesday, April 13, 2010 @
One more month till my birthday
and I still think I am immature.

Suddenly another low point hits me.
I was okay and suddenly I can't seem to pull myself out from this one.

I've always known myself
as a strong-willed person

Whenever I have personal problems
I tend to depend on myself because I believe that there will be a way out.
I believe that I can make it through
and most of the time I succeeded.

I care a lot about things
sometimes way beyond the limit.

I know I'm the type of person
who is willing to spend hours and hours listening
to someone rant, complain, emo on and on.
Even if I get tired at times, I will still continue to listen
Because that's the right thing to do, isn't it?

I seldom find people to talk about my problems
unless I really don't know what to do.
I get upset sometimes
because when I can spend hours listening to someone talk
they can't seem to do the same.
It's as though my problems aren't big issues.
I get upset but I always tell them "it's okay."

Sometimes it really makes me think
is it because they are selfish or is it just me being selfish?

This is just me
I just like to care more than people.
Because in this reality where people are too involved in their own lives
someone needs to make a difference

Furthermore if I can see this and not be doing anything about it
It won't make the world any better right?
If I can make a change, why shouldn't I?

Caring too much do make me suffer more.
But it really doesn't matter I guess
Because if it makes others happy, so be it.


If I could be given another chance
I would be a better captain
I would go crazy with the guys and try to bond the team together

If only JinYi, Benny, Gwen and Fendy were free
then we can just go out and be crazy again.
No worries and nothing.

I will be okay soon
as soon as school starts
when I know I can work towards something
I will be fine again.

There are people who faced worst fears that I do.
So if they can make it through
I have no reason to back down.
I've done it thousand times in my past 17 years
this is just a bigger challenge
but something I know that I can overcome.

Alright
Ciao for some good O' movies :]

I think it's very true that as you grow up
you start to treasure things more.

When I was young,
I was the typical act-cool boy.
I always never attend outings
and ignore people sometimes.

but as I grow up,
I start to see them as important part of my life.
They become your good friends
and they are your problem-solvers.

You don't need everyone else to acknowledge you
just those who means something to you.

We can say everything else sucks
but never say that nobody cares about you
because that's plain disrespect and annoying.

anyway
sometimes I feel like deleting this blog.
should I?

Haha
will consider :]

kk shall continue my morning jog tmr too.

Speaking of signs...

I think Taurus is awesome
and special.

Because I am one.
hahahahaahah!

What I like about taurus?
Most of the time
Taurus are patient, understanding and firm people
most of the time they are.
They know what to do and when to do, one thing which I really like.
So most of the time
they are easy going and seems to have complete control over emotions.
They also seem to be tolerant and forgive easily.

That was only the good part.
Now here comes the bad part.

We easily get jealous
we are stubborn at times and resist to change.
One thing I really HATE is over-possessiveness
we seem to think that certain things are ours and
that to me is really scary and annoying
I really wanna change that personality of mine
but it seems so hard. But I will still try.

However, theres one bad part I find it quite cool.
Is that when we get over the anger limit,
we can be a beast.
So far, I havent acted that way before
only near that breaking point.
But i do know that once we get angry, things really can get nasty.

It's like, we may be nice and easy-going
but if you cross the limit
don't blame us for what happens.

Haha, I hope I don't really act that way ever
but if that person (not saying anyone) deserves it
why not?

It will be ... interesting.
haha. alright just a random post.
ciao.

Saturday, April 10, 2010 @ Last Note.
Well..
suddenly i just kept quiet.

but in any case.

This may be inappropriate but I just wanna let it all out
and after this...
nothing will really matter anymore

:]

I have been angry at u.
I just felt like I was played around with, or maybe just been one-sided fool the whole time
but that was all the guy dignity thing at work :/

I just appeared to act as though I'm fine.
But as of now, I really AM fine.
really :]

I still wonder if that person is me?
or is that person another guy you fell in love with after me?
I still kind of assume it's me but like I said.
Nothing's really matter anymore.

of course we are still friends
but i find it really hard to communicate with you
I mean I want to show you that I'm not that petty guy
who stops talking after being rejected
but its just the way you reply makes it hard for me to
continue the conversation

But its fine with me
it really is.

because you clearly have good friends there by your side
those are the people you need, the people you can trust and love
I am not and I can guarantee that I will never be as important.

Those are the people who will be there for you
and that is the most important thing
:]

so please dont find me petty or anything :/
but hey, feel free to chat if you want.
just saying hi or anything is fine :]

but there really is one question I wanna ask
ahem
why did you like me in the first place?
i can only recall myself as a nerdy, skinny and unattractive guy
really. I just cannot derive at any answer at all.

haha, I am really interested to know
but yeah. I doubt I will ever get that answer.

anyway it's quite amazing that for these 15 months
I still like you so much.
haha, kind of foolish though :X

so yeah.
I never said this to you in person before...

Thank you for the memories
You were special to me, you really were.
You made a lot of changes to my life you know?
There were sad and happy times but most importantly
you made me grew up.
I'm sure you've learned something too.
Remember the time Fengyi asked me if I liked you?
I never answered so now I shall.
I loved you. I really did.
But now we need to move on, especially me.
If it's meant to be, then it will come.
If it isn't, then it will never come.
take care yeah?

So now, we let go and move on.
We are still so young.
You have a lot other hot guys waiting for you
and I have my cute girls :]

I have my grades to take care off
and of course, to realize my goal, hopefully.

Alright.
Good Night

:]

Friday, April 9, 2010 @
Originally,
I wanted to go emo

I mean just reflecting on my thoughts.
I have really never felt this troubled before in my life.

But I think its time to move ahead and get on with life.

For these past few days I've been restless
just unmotivated, slacking at home.

I've been troubled as a teen trying to clear some
family issues off my head.
I think I still have a sense of responsibility
and
it isn't right for me to argue about it.
So I will need to learn to approach it in a better way.

You know
for the past 17 years, I've always been wondering and been aware of many things.
A friend of mine commented that
sometimes I am ignorant to friends' feelings

Honestly when I heard that I was kind of dumbfounded
because all the way I've always thought of myself
as the kind of person who put everyone else before me.

Before I even make a decision
I would try to make sure no one gets left behind.

But it turns out that it was all because I was fearful
I was fearful of the consequences

Hmmmm... still...
I kind of disagree to that statement somehow :/

As much as I know myself
If ever i fail to help a troubled friend
I will start thinking a lot and get emotional over it
But I think its time to stop that

if ever I'm needed
that person can approach me
I dont have to dwell over it
and start treating it as my own problem.

I need to stand on my own before people can even depend on me.

Okay
That's all
Im trying to get my life in order now
Holidays ending soon

See ya

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 @
It's been a while since i've blogged..

i guess i wont be blogging as much as before anymore.

A lot of things happened the past 1-2 weeks..

and that set me thinking a lot... a lot.

---

Firstly it was family issues

I'm currently not working so it makes it hard for me to go out, furthermore
it's the holidays now.

Everything i do, I have to consider cash.
it really frustrated me.
Ironically, I'm still just 17.
Why is it that I have to consider so many things, much more than other kids.

I know it's been immature for me to think this way.
But I've been better now
watching the reality shows on TV
and some movies made me realize
that I should feel fortunate no matter what.

A lot of those kids in other countries
face worst problems than me
at an even younger age.
yes, even younger age.

Thus, I shall punch myself and let this go.

---

Then, it was results.

Weeks ago, I was telling myself
i can make it to the university.

Then the results came out and boom,
everything went down the drain.

My results dropped and my friends improved.
It really annoyed me when some friends can complain about their better results.
Yes, i know i can only blame myself and noone else.

but it just added on to the frustration.
They can go on and on about it... its damn annoying. freaking annoying.

But what can we do? Nothing.
We can only work hard to at least be eligible for university
and then ignore whatever they say.

---

Next was personal issues.

These few days, I've been having some bad or weird dreams. yes, every night.
I have no idea what they are telling to say
but they aren't really any good dreams.

I guess I haven't fully let go
but i know I have given up.

I still dream of her once in a while
but slowly, i will forget.

Like I've said before, if it's meant to be
it will come.
if it isn't, then leave it as it is.

---

I have been really restless these few days.
I have no idea what I've been doing for basketball.
I play hard and nothing comes.
I play slack and worst happens.

maybe i just never practice, that's why.
but slowly, I'm starting to accept that i will never be good in this sports.
maybe, i will just play it for leisure.
but i can always be a crazy NBA fan.

sometimes I also get frustrated with myself.
why is it that so many friends around me have achieved so much while I'm not achieving anything.
It gets me jealous and upset.
Like 17 years and nothing great achieved.

But all these while, i've probably started to remember what I wanted to achieve
to help the world and all.

but these few days I've been really restless, just aimlessly watching movies.
I don't know.
It's just at this point, I'm probably confused with life.

I don't know what i want to achieve.
I really don't.

Somehow, life sucks without motivation, isn't it?
It made me miss the secondary school days.

where i could just stick to a system and keep myself busy
and have something to do everyday.

now, it really sucks.
You don't know what to work hard for.
you have no idea what your future will be like.

i hope that soon i will clear this off my heart
i just need motivation.
but where are they?
