Wow! yesterdayy was an AWESOME dayy! hahah. It was sports dayy in school, and i was like FORCED to sign up to swimm. So i diidnt want to go to school, but had to go, as i had to swim in the relayys. Anywayy. i have not trained for the past 3 months. and in those 3 months, i actually went only 3 times. Soo yeahh. I got to school, looked at my list of competitors and i was like shit! First event 100 FREESTYLE. I was like, why did i even sign up for it. So planned to do 1.50 mins. Which is really really slow. hahah. So i kept complaining to my teachers if i can scrap and all. In the end, i said okayy i shall swimm. But i shall slack. So i got onto the jumping board. and i said to my friends, okayy its time to DROWN! hahah. "take your marks, go!" and i went, i did a really bad dive, i dived tooo deep, but didint really care anyway. So i just swam and swam, and then at the second lap, i looked left and right, and realised that i was first, well not really, cause my other competitor james was on the 1st lane, while i was on the 5th so it was really far away. Anyway i thot. No big deal, lets go faster, so i started to kick harder and all! and when i touched. The little juniors came up to me and said! wanna know your time? and i was like yeahh ?! and he said 1.06! i shouted WHAT THE HELL! hahahah, i wasnt even panting. Anyway, came in 3rd in the overall heats. second for mine, but another person did 10.5 so i came in third. For my 50 breaststroke, i swamm soo slowly, that i came in last, but i wanted to preserve my energy. But me and my other fellow competitors thought that we might as well spice things up! so we planned with each other about how we can false start! haha, so we got the teacher quite mad, but who cares. Next was 50 FREE! i did 28.94, too slow, lost by about 0.50 s to get into the 3rd placing. 50 Back was fun! although i was like alreadyy too exhausted. No stamina, so i started to like concentrate, as its my best stroke, So i prayed and prayed, and believed. Plunged in, i just kicked as hard as i could, and i was propelled forward, my other competitors were like at my waist. Held it as much as i could, and when i touched ! I clocked 33.82s! i was first for my heat! infat i actually thot i was first for the whole event, as all the other swimmers whom i was threatened by were all in my heat, anyway, i came in SECOND! was sooo mad, this other swimmer did 33.79. To think i lost by 0.03s!!! anywayy, i shall not commet on my relay, although i did get a really good lead for my house in the Medley relay, but one of my NERDY swimmers, thought that i must touch with two hands, before he can jump! i spent like 6 seconds telling him to go! WTH!
After the meet, met aaron, and we went for a really awesome bike ride, shall tell more on my next post, maybe next week! haha, gtg study for SS and history test on mon! so byee!
JOEL CAN SWIMM! 20050218 / 8:19 PM
So my week! its been pretty okayy, although i feel quite pathetic, like its like still the 1st term, and i am already terribly stressed out!
Did i tell anyone yet, that my school is sooo damn freaking money face! its like they keep collecting money! 5 bucks a week, for our fun fair, and they gave us a whole stack of 200 bucks with of coupon tickets, and we HAVE to sell all! geee.
Chinese new year was okayy! i only collected like 500? how sad. Its getting less and less. I remember in 2001, i got 10555! But it was really fun to meet my cousins and all! we had like 3 parties at my house.
In the process of CNY, i read a book my aunt lent me! it was Lance Armstrong, Not about the cancer, But how i got back onto the bike. After reading it, i sayy he is now my new mentor, it used to be ben carson, but now, i feel that theres like soo much all of us can learn from him! A remarkable man, his courage and will power, is like soo cool. Oh yeah, and the most important bit! The bike. i realised that i am a little like him, in that i LOVE biking, and i dont just do it for fun, with my neighbours and all like i used to, but now, our house is like in a very very secluded kind of road, thus like theres no one my age to bike with. I on the other hand, still continue biking. I find the bike, like something which can comfort me, let me be free, a place i can thank God, praise him, worship him on. Its like, whenever i am sad, stressed, or sick of being at home, i did just buzz the maid! "Marry, get my bike and open the gate." I did then put on a pair of socks, bike shoes, and speed out of my house. And i did feel so great, I can go on forever, and as most of my friends know, i am a really aggressive rider, on my 3000 bucks bike. I bring it and its brakes to the limit. I go down hills at like 60km/h, and i hit the brakes and stop in like 10m? I love it, none the less. I can do all sorts of stunts on it, i can fix it, i know every single part of it. Just like LANCE! his first profesional bike was an italian frame, and fitted with customised parts! AND SO IS MINE!
So!, i am going to take part in a competition coming up this March! Its quite prestigous, and i will be racing for myself(just like lance when he started), and sponsors would be there to catch promising bikers! Sooo! we shall se how things go! pretty confident though! I might be able to FORGET SWIMMING LIKE COMPLETELY! how cool is that!
Okayy, i shall stop here! Shall update when i am free next! Bye! 20050204 / 9:09 PM
Hallo!, Today was a pretty cool dayy, although, i slept like really really late last night, cause i had to do finish my mathematics homework, in which, from that, i have suddenly found math rather exciting, its like a challenge to solve the questions! hahah, yes i know i am fickle. Its probably just because i found this chapter easy. Had a physics test today too, which adds to the reason as to why i slept soo late.
The test was pretty okayy, but i think i should have practised more. Still passable, however. Lit lessons was super fun today too! cause our teacher was like in a really good mood, and we made lots of crappy jokes!
Went to town after school today, with julien, aaron, chris, jerry, james, johnathan... and alot of other pple! hahah was really fun! cause we had to choose a t shirt we like, to be worn in our coming school carnival! Then we ate gelato, tako poachi, and ran away from nicholas lye! hahah! cause he was like soo annoying, boasting about his "good taste in clothes" that everyone wanted to run away from him! so we went to heeren, pretended to listen to some music in HMV, and once he put on his headphones to listen to something too, like they all ran out, and i was practically dragged out! cause i didint really understand the plan!
Went home, and did some chem, math, before watching lots of friends again! and here i am! hahah, okayy. American idol soon! ttyl! byee

I have not blogged for a very long time again. This blog is like inexistent. Anyway, Soo this week has been pretty pathetic. For reasons i shall not sayy here, but oh well.
School is actually turning out rather well though, surprisingly enough, i only hate one subject. My sciences are cool, and i have a pretty cool chem teacher, infact, both my chem and physics teachers are pretty lame. hahah.
Went training after school today, and it sucked sooo much! I had to practically pull the COMPETITIVE lane ropes by myself. Cause at the start of training, the lower sec kids didint know how to. And after training, ME AND THE CAPTAIN! were forced to pull it, cause we didint train hard enough! WTH! its like i have not swam for soo long! NO STAMINA, and we did 1500m sets. It was hell. ugh. But what irony, the swimming captain slacks! HAHAH!
My parents just got back from a little private holiday by themselves, and aaron and nick came over to hang! It was really fun! We had super late night cycles into school, which was like WOW, hahah, we biked all the way to the clock tower, infact, we biked soo much tt day, that our butts were aching like hell! Hahah. There were other really fun incidents! but cant be posted here *. All in all, i like to say, it felt as though we were 16yr olds in America. Hah!
Oh i have to go change something on my bike! shall redesign and post more often now! ttyl!
P.S IF little kenneath is here! YOU STILL HAVE TO TELL ME SOMETHING!

Just came back early yesterday morning! and i have to say! My trip was absolutely wonderful! and i thank God for blessing me and my family for having such a wonderful holiday this year. It was really awesome!
my first stop! chicago, started our shopping spree! well for me and my sis actually! Banana republic was out first stop! and i bought like 10 pairs of boxes! followed by abercrombie, where unfortunately, most of their tees were the muscle kinds, so i just got one, but i got really cool polo long sleeve tees and boxers again! shirts a jacket! it was fun! nike town too! and i bought 3 livestrong bands, its like a donation for Lance Armstrong, its like in the peoples magazine, so you can read from there! We then went around to the other shops too! but these two were the most meanigful for me!
Washington was the second stop! at it was mainly sight seeing! the national zoo, national museum of natural history, national museum of american history, hirshhorn museum and sculpture garden, and the white house! but from a distance cause it was all cordoned up!but my favouritest part of it all! was at the Smithsonion national air and space museum, where i got to ride this simulator! which was an exact replica of a fighter jet! and you could like do spins in all direction! hand upside down! ANYTHING! haha, so there, i had a awesome three mins getting myself dizzy! when i came out! these group of boys said to me! "dude your crazy man"! haha so i said! "yeah and it was an awesome ride" haha, everyone was starring at me! cause from outside! you can see the simulator move! and mine was spinning non stop!
Third stop was at vriginia, here, dad got a pretty cool car! a town car! called a Buick LeSabre! it was really amusing cause my dad kept turning into the wrong lane! like in incomming traffics direction! haha. Here, we just visited places which my dad had been to when he came here for a course. It was pretty cool! and it snowed on the second day!!! haha my sis and i built snow pple! but the weather was awfully cold! anyway, it was a pretty cool place, but a little to boring for one to live here permenantly! HOWEVER! they had this place, called something outlet mall! and it was the Main OUTLET SHOP FOR EVERY BRAND! well almost! and here! we went mad!!! i got something from almost all the shops! and i got my wallet from ralph lauren! and lots of polo tees! nautica tees and windbreakers! and yes boxers again! Gap tees, Tommy hilfigher jeans and tees, shirts, Nike! wow the stuff there was soo cool! their tees! hahah! the list goes on! this stop was really the one! that got everyone of out 4 bags overweight! well except my mums! haha cause she packed soo much from singapore that her bag had little space to buy more stuff!
Fourth stop was at boston! here my dad brought us to the universites he studied at! harvard, cambridge, and my sister, MIT, well she doesnt study there, but she came here before, so she could direct us around MIT, while my dad, harvard and the rest! Not much shopping, just a few more tees haha except that i got two more live strong bands! Not much to say here, so yup!
Our LAST stop! NEW YORK! man this place is COOOL!!!! went mad! they even had a quiksilver new york! and as many of you can predict! i went mad!!! hahaha ! their t shirts were sooo darn cool! like i have quiksilver bali, australia. etc! but how often do you see NEW YORK! haha. Had chritmas eve dinner at this restaurant called Joseph's citarella at rockefeller centre! and guess what! the NBC studio is situated there! as you see in my pics below! and i even went to the FRIENDS STALL! and my sis and i bought this damn cool tee that said, HOW YOU!DOING.
hahahaha! all in all, i love new york the best, we even went to watch two Broadways, Hair Spray and Mamamia! and my sister and i won a lottery, its like they only had 25 tickets left! cause it was christmas day, and many pple did not have much to do! so they got you to write you name, and when all did so, they would pick out 25 names, and 1 name entitles you to 2 tickets! so I got called up first, then my sis! so we managed to get 4! it was really a miracle! and from there, we really believed that God was with us, there were lot more miracles! but this one was the coolest.
Okay, i have to stop here, although theres lots more to say! maybe tom or somehting!
p.s for those whom i didnt get to wish, have a belated merry christmas! and a happy new year!.
