this is how reality is.
the media is shit.
they only concentrate on champions rather than something minor.

Singapore Sports School went to Thailand for some competition and my youngest brother who is also in SSS also went together with them.
if you read today's paper, Today, you will notice a news update on the competition.
and if you continue to read on, the whole news report is on this guy called Pang Xue Jie.
and in the news report, this is a photo which also featured my brother.

ok, the main point is that this Xue Jie guy is competing in the U16s category and got gold.
my brother played in the U18s category and got a silver.
for your information, both this Xue Jie and my brother is 15 years old.
so you should know why i say the fucking media is so fucking unfair.

so what if he got a gold medal compared to my brother's silver in the U18.
shouldn't the focus be on my brother instead?
plus the way the photo is being taken, it only shows that my brother in the foreground is Pang Xue Jie.
for god sake but his name is Shawn Yong and he is my brother.
please try to priorities which should come first and which is a greater achievement.

as much as i thought we could start work today, we ran into some problem.

anyway, my new FYP team sat down to start work.
suppose to discuss and finalize our project scope and all the other stuff.
BUT the only thing that obstruct us was the different types of project scope.
none of our deliverables was send out to us yet.
which is also why we could not get everything done.
still it was alright.
at least we kinda got some kind of concept sketch out.
hopefully by this week we can finalize and send in our proposal.

you guys know what.
people in my class say i look like a star.
Mei Hui say i look like Lin You Jia.
then the other day, i went out with Rachel to catch Dark Knight.
then she said i look like Lin Yu Zhong.

LOL.
dont know i should be happy or sad.
ha.
have to look like someone else but not look like myself.
=S

ok, this is for my loyal fan.
ha.
i mean loyal fan cum team mate.
HELLO FYP 2 TEAM MATE.

anyway, went to watch Dark Knight last night.
super cool can.
is like the first time i sat in the theatre for like straight 2 hours 30 mins.
but it was really worth while.
really love the Joker.
seriously if the show is without the Joker, it will be redundant.
for all those who haven catch Dark Knight, you might really wanna go for it.
just dont blame me for sitting there for so long.
blame the story plot and director.

my favorite character since young.


the only worthy villain around

hmmm, sidetrack a bit.
finally FYP 2 can be commenced.
my team is formed but i still feel kinda bad.
i am just not those who feels ok after seeing a team break up and then forms a new one.
seeing Pei Xin's team breaking up then forming a new one is like so weird.
their team seems to be working working so well until FYP 2.
stupid school.

but then, we shall work well with the new team alright?
YEAH!!

why is it that after FYP is over, i am still stress over it?

FUCK FYP!!!
thanks for bring so much problem to me.
i cant stand the pressure that is building up inside me.
everyone is feeling so free and all but the after effect of FYP is killing me.
i feel damn fucking stress.

another thing that is getting on my nerves, are the number of phone calls coming in.
already the post effect of FYP is killing me and the ringing of the phones are irritating my every part of my body.
for goodness sake, STOP ALL THE RINGING!
you are getting on my nerves big time.

before i forget,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEI XIN!!
seems like a pretty good day for you.
ha.
FYP submission is today and is also your birthday today.
double yay-ness.

recording today is... i dont know what to say.
really sorry to Pei Xin's team.
had to record so many times to make adjustments to my vocals and stuff.
spend the entire night at Vista doing up the recording.
at the end of the day my recording was still not able to match the female vocals.

i guess tomorrow will be a a long day.
will also have to work on my FYP and Pei Xin's team.

feel so tired doing FYP.
hardly have anytime to rest well.
i really need to survive this week and i will be free.
hurhur..

school on sunday anyone?
shitty lah.
cant believe i went back to school on a freaking sunday.

suppose to be back in school to help Pei Xin's team to do their recording.
Ryan was suppose to help them sing in their FYP but dont know why they called me yesterday to replace Ryan.
is like my first time going into the whisper room to do my recording.
so damn excited but also scary.
Neelesh will be there to supervise my singing.
plus it is the first time i get to listen the melody.
dont know if i can do it.

so anyway, went to school today to meet them.
plus i was late.
SORRY Pei Xin's team.
ha
so was waiting at the canteen for Neelesh and also to practice the melody and stuff for awhile.

so finally he arrived.
best thing was when he arrived, he asked us this question, 'so do you wanna hear the good news or the bad news?'

so the conversation goes on...

Neelesh: so, do you wanna hear the good news or bad news?
Lesly: the bad news.
Neelesh: the wista* is not open for use today.
Jia En: then the good news?
Neelesh: the wista* is open tomorrow.
*wista is actually pronounced as vista. is just his indian pronunciation

like DUH!!
like we dont know that.
is so WHAT THE HELL lah.

so we practically wasted the entire day in school doing nothing.
worse thing, ON A FREAKING SUNDAY!!!

have to go back to recording tomorrow.
dont know if i cant help them much in their FYP but i will do my best.
if i dont do well for your team, sorry ok!
ha

something bad happen and i really pity my aunt's family.

2 days ago, i received a news from grandma.
she told me that my uncle had a stroke attack while he was sleeping at night.
was kinda shock to hear that.
never thought that any of this will strike any of us in the family.

although i am not very very very close with my uncle but will be visiting him at the hospital tomorrow.
i heard that the stroke attack affected him on the left side.
though is not his dominant side of abled body but is very sad to see a thing like this to fall upon him.

life is so unpredictable.
anything can happen to anyone at anytime.
life is so fragile.
which is why it sucks so much.
shit...


i just wanna hear from you once in a while...

it sucks to see everyone's FYP has ended and my team are the last few ones.
just builds up the stress and pressure in me.
but is alright.
submission of FYP is next week.
performance and report will have to be done by then.
finally after so long of preparation and hard work and miscommunication, things are finally falling into place.
kinda glad that things can work out in the end.

woohoo!!
FINALLY, FYP 1 is coming to a closure.
performance is the next step before closure.
load off me soon.

then it will be FYP 2 soon.
another boulder will be on me soon.
i wanna complain.
how come STA has 2 FYP and other have only 1?
other Polys dont have to do 2 FYP also.

HOW COME STA HAS 2 FYP TO COMPLETE?
I WANNA COMPLAIN!!!

ARGHHH!!!
double stress, double pressure.
FYP in 2 more weeks.
shit shit shit.

went for 2 FYP screens today.
Chris's team really set a high mark for all the other teams to hit.
now so many of us are so stressed up.
not just my team but the rest of the DSA people are really feeling the pressure.
i guess we could just pull it through without much trouble.
we cant aim high for excellent grades after such a splendid performance from Chris's team.


you are just too special to me..
