Bro not well. Coughed last nite at Tishone's place and felt a sudden chest pain. He called me after being unable to reach dad. I was out with Alex and David at Cityhall. DL called me. Chest v pain, cant breathe, cant walk. Parents informed n rushed to Shone's place at bedok reservior. Went to GP n he directed bro to A & E.
DL was callin me and keepin me updated. Alex was driving and sent me to Changi Hospital after fetching David back. Mum was crying. Dad was waiting. Aunt was on the phone.
Dad told me tt b4 i reached, they inserted a tube into bro's chest to draw e air out. Apparently air filled his right lung cavity causing his lung to compress to a ball of tissue. If the air flows to the left side, both lungs will not be functioning. Anaesthetic was not injected as they need bro to cough to ensure that the tube is in. Unimaginable was e pain whn a tube length of a chopstick n diameter of a 20 cent coin plunges into e right chest.
Condition stablized and was in and out of consciousness. There on e bed, i saw the bravest boy i never knew.

Being a guy is not easy. Being a human is worse. Being a fair and Justical human is even worse. I hav learned a lesson, we cant judge and we cannot be judge. Everyone has their own story.Its wrong to say who is rite and who is wrong.
Very tired, physically everywhere's aching. my sprained shoulder's gettin from bad to worse; cant even take off my shirt without a tear in my eye. Emotionally tired too, i don know how to feel le. Mentally as well, haven been gettin enough slp.
Got Aircraft system test tml and i haven studied this whole nite, really don hav the study mood, only got the slackin mood. Somehow i feel that we shouldnt give ppl wrong impressions. Don treat others especially nice and in turn giving false hope. Don say things tat normal friends don normally say. Why is the point of going out and attract ppl, get ppl attention and be 'happy' as everyone seems to 'like' you in return?? Sure the feeling is very nice to hav lots of ppl going after u, doin things for you, showering you with gifts. If you touch your heart, aint it abit worthless?? Aint it like a little cruel and meaningless?? Then after tt jumping frm one person to another after 'playin' and had-ding enough??
They then give theirs hearts to one person and then scarring their hearts when they leave them and then go on to likin and givin their hearts to another. And then they leave and goes to another. The scarring will go on forever n i wonder if pain was ever that enjoyable and a hobby. The master of the 'game' will hav this continous 'scarring' which they sort of 'asked for it', whereas those who came by and left; some had the intention of jus 'playing', but sadly, there are also ones who hav had their young, fresh and innocent heart being pricked by thousands of needles by the 'game master'. As their heart bled, they continue to roam the world with a freshly-cut scar.
This world is full of people from all walks of life. Some experienced it 1st hand, some experience it from others' experiences. Anyway, the tired would remain tired till they got a break. The hurt would be in pain till they step out of it. The scarred would remain hideous till they are healed. Life's full of pain and sorrow but at times, we are given a choice to choose. If we made a mistake and get pricked, its up to us to know and learn, learn tat you hav a choice. If you don want wat you've experience to occur again, then don do it. Those who don hav e courage to go forward and change would be stuck in the circle, going thru it over and over again......

10:57...=)
Woke up at 640 today. Boy i am late!! Rushed to complete my morning regulars and left home at 710am, 15 min later thn b4. Told dad not to rush cos everytime he revs the car n send the needles flyin, my heart sinks together with the fuel. I knew i was rite, i wasnt late. Waited for Slpy Head to leave dreamland n appeared 2 hours later. =)
Met up with Nic at FC 6 for breakfast. Coincidentally, met David, Boon Seng n gang going for a meal too after doin their Melody Generator. Ate ecnomy mifen n guo tiao plus egg, otah n hash brown. WTH ehz, $1.70 niaz!! No way you can find such a deal at the sch of MM manz.
Phua's Powerplant lecture was, err, haizz...lost of words. I practically slept e whole lesson, so yaz. Went to discuss FYP for 5 min with Jy, Nic n emi. Thn went to use com with JY. He's bz lookin at cars tat with all our life's work earnings added together for 3 generations wouldnt even be able to buy the engine n air-conditioning system. Anyway, its gd to hav dreamz..=) Looked at Lifestylex.com...Remembered its my time killer whn i was at ITP at AFS. Read e jokes section, dam funny, n at e same time JY keep askin me to turn my head to gaze at his monitor as the figures climbed each car he showed me. Argg, was rather irritating.
Ganesh's Mech lecture was again, haizz. OM was great, as usual. talkin abt Partnership and Company and stuff. After sch, went to Finance Dept to pay my sch fees with Liyana. 1st time, it as empty. Still remembered e previous time i paid the queue was outside the office. After tt went to Avionics lab to help liyana, nic n Dav with their Melody Gen. Sux ehz, practically walked frm 1 end to e other end of e campus. Tried to study but to no avail. Ppl was dam noisy, esp nic.
Quickly left lab at 520 for Napfa. Seeing all the test equipment, it didnt really bring back fond memories. Gawin, Dav, WX, Nic, Josh, Ruben were thr. I was in e same grp as e former 4. Also in our grp, 1 prominent guy was Kenridge. Boy, they say he's a model...yaz can tell...=/
1st up was shutter run. i was num 66. Ken went 2nd. WX n i got 10.96s n 10.94s respectively. Theorically, we failed. Tried again n both got 10.3s...=) Damn ehz, the rubber track was slippery. Think don put the mat would be better lorz.
Next was Standing Board Jump. I got 222cm, tats a 'D', enough for a silver. But i went to try again, and got 232. As i landed for e 2nd jump, i leaned on my left arm as i lost balanced. AHHHH, felt a sharp pain shot thru my left shoulder. Dav practically ate the mat up, WX short of 2 cm whereas Gawin got a 'D'. =)
Following, was Sit-ups. Rooted Nic's feet as he pushed himself thru. Ehz, thr's a little of undecency here, think better don say...Next was me n i did 42, jus enough to get 'A'. David was beside me and he freaking did 70!! Tats like one in 0.857142857 secs!! Godlike, terminator...=/
Chin-up. Nic backed out without doing a single one. I did n e 1st 4 was ok. As i did e 5th, i was startin to swing. Arrggg....Managed the 6th. I was surprised and its my record!! Struggled for the 7th but managed to do only 6.78. Dav, WX n Gawin did 7. Sux, i felt sucky.
Sit-n-reach. I nv wanted to get more the a 'C'. The station attendant stood down beside me and was sort of talkin crap. I couldnt see e markin on the scale as it was rather worn so she jus placed her finger on e scale and asked me to push the marker and touch her finger. I did, n was short of 2 cm. She said again!! so i did. She said again!!! i did but still cant. "wats tat readin??" i asked her but she didnt say and asked me to push harder. So i took a deep breath n went for it, could feel my butt muscles splitting. I did it!! Relief!! WTH, i did 51cm ehz, and its an 'A'!! Wa, felt like slappin n thankin her. =)
So all 5 stations done le, now left with 2.4. Staring at e pull-up bar, i went to the counter and asked if i could retake. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 was ok. 6 i was startin to swing, starting to struggle. I gave my last shot of strength. Made only 6.1. Guessed e in-charged saw tat i struggled and did a dozen in total, he gave me a 7. Enough to get a 'C'...=)
90 of us gathered at the starting line. The timer started and paced off. WX and i were slowly and steadily slicing past each individual. At the startin of e 2nd lap, Shit!! 2min!! Cham, if i carried on like this, i wouldnt be able to meet my 11min40s requirement for a 'C'. I speeded up, abandoning WX..sry. Time was lookin on e gd side. At the 5th lab, i was behind Ruben..Boy was he fast. Pass by Nic, Josh, Ga, n Dav. Was surprised whn i pass Dav. Followed Ruben all the way till 200 metres, was practically breathing thru my stone-dry mouth le. By 100metres, we were side by side. We acknowledged n i sprinted forward. He caught up. We crossed e finishing line together.
It was a moment to be remembered...10:57, 1st time in my life...!! =) After walkin ard a little, met up with Josh. He got stitch n was dissappointed. WX was complacent and didnt make it by 5 secs. David was not feelin well, got alot of phlegm.
Whn to Clementi in Nic's Jazz for dinner with all our aching bodies. Chatted abt this and tat. Oh ya Gen was there too. =)
Went home with Wx and Gen. They were great fun but i felt like a lamp post. WX was still mouning over his complacency. Got off at Sgoon, don wanna be lampost le. Went home dead tired. Its now abt 1am. I should be slpin...Arrggg...My left shoulder achin like hell now...Hope my arm's still there tml...

The Island...
I m feelin lazy. I am a worm, a lazy worm. Stayed at home this whole weekend. Tried to study and also do reports. in e end ended up doing alot less than expected. Arrggg, i wasnt like tt in the past.
Got pretty caught up with the application for uni and all that. Still got alot of stuff unclear and worse of all still hav to write essay to show your achievements. Diff pp say diff things. Some say choose Mech better, some say Aero better. Anyway, it doesnt really matter wat i chose laz, both also jus do your best can le...no regrets.
24 hours a day - 2.5 hr study, 2 hr meals, 2 hr tv, 2 hr misc( like brushin teeth, bathin and time spent walkin from 1 place to another), 4 hours slp and the rest playin Generals. Feelin damn useless. =(
Met up with Josh on Fri after sch. Went to Esplanade to slack n watch guys breakdance and gers modern dance. Met Weixiong and Gen along e way. Somehow, i think that they are a v happy and compatible couple. Gen liked WX's eyelashes so she jus pulled his.
Today, spent my whole morning doing Aircraft tut. It was dam monotonous. Almost felt like tearin e book. Struggled to make it interesting. Anyway wats so interesting abt valves, cooling packs and washers...Spent part of the afternoon for lunch, thn watched The Island. Not really a bad show. The female lead was chio. The guy was suai4. Both also nv see b4 de, both also had names with more than 10 letters in them. 2nd half of the afternoon continued revising n thn was Generals le.
Somehow, i wanna get out of my life, i don wanna revolve round my computer games. Must do something more productive than clickin on men in the screen and killin each other. Anyway, gonna power up for the week ahead le. Must study. I will tell you guys at the end of the week if i hav succeeded...=P
Oh ya, talkin abt life, http://www.youtube.com/w/Campus-Superstar-Teresa?v=GYAnT7u2Z2Q&search=campus%20superstar%20teresa.....=) *SmLiEs*

3rD DaY Of CNY...
This year's CNY seems rather gloomy. 1st day only went to papa side's grandparents place for lunch. Thn nite time went to 4th aunt house. Reached there rather late, at abt 10 plus cos everyone was so nua, esp my bro...like jelly fish.
At 4th aunt's place, most relatives already left le, but there's still enough to make the house noisy...Major contributions would be from the 3 pre-schools chatter boxes..=) Sat down and ate some leftovers on the table, at times i do feel like a rubbish bin. Thn 4th aunt sat beside me, askin me is my face better and then went on examinin it. I jus stayed still like a rock hopin 4 e moment she stops. Hate ppl examinin me...Then we chatted, chatted abt family and life. I was rather suprised tat we do click quite well. Learn some things from her, i think she's a great lady. =)
Went home at abt 12 with DeJun and DeLin, my 2 closest cousins. After reaching sgoon, had to fetch e 2 cousins back home, at Tampines. Back at home at abt 1am, played game - C&C Generals till abt 4 then went to slp. =)
2nd day of CNY, woke up at 930am. Watch Memiors of a Geisha on e DVD. Its a nice show, sad too. Bro watched it le so while my dad and i were watchin e DVD, bro went to play Generals. Soon, my dad was playing too.. =/
Similarly, Slack at home most of the time as we took turns to play game. At 1130am, went out to run. Time was slow and it was torturin. Must hav looked quite weird, ppl must be thinkin why is this chinese guy perspiring on CNY?? In the evening, went to 2nd aunt place. Watched the Medallion on Channel 5. Ate quite alot of bak gua, kai xin guo and other rubbish and jolly sandy. Alcohol and carbonated water really don suit me. Anyway, i was guilty, i was startin to feel fat.
After tt, we went to my godma's place at Tampines. Boy was it crowded. All my cousins were there, except Gene and Clara. We slacked and talked and watched TV. Stomach was rather grumpy so i shut it up by enterin food. Again, i was the rubbish bin, help to clear up the leftovers. =/
Left Godma'z place at abt 1230am. Drove home after fetchin the De brothers back. Reached home, play Generals till 4am again.
3rd day of CNY, cousins decided to meet up for a movie at PS. Steve was there 1st followed by me and bro. Wa kaoz, the queue was dam long!! think will hav to wait for 40 min b4 our turn. So, we went to the online kiosk as noobs, then Jay came. Got the tics after some conflicts with those tat were still not present cos we were left with the front row for the Fearless 350pm slot. Ended up taking the 615 slot.
When all had arrived, we went to the FC to see Gene take her lunch. We sat around and chatted. Unfortunately, chatted abt DJ as we was the only one not present - gotta bring gf home for lunch. =P Went to play pool at Meridien SC but the queue was dam long. After entering the waiting list, we hung around outside and chatted, ok it was more like laugh-ted. We gave up waiting jus 1 hour b4 the show started and headed back to PS. Wanna get a bite so Steve recommanded Secret Recipe, its his workplace so everywhere we go he also recommanded it. Had to admit one thing, the service was quite sucky, jus like the Suntec branch we visited a yr ago. But the choc cheese cake was nice. Shared with Clara as she was startin to feel fat and guilty after the 3rd mouth. =)
The movie was great; violent and sad. Clara was full of emotions, one time her hands were clasping her mouth in disguist as Huo Yuan Jia broke tat guy's arm into 2 and the next she was searchin desperately in her handbag. Jay sat beside her, took out a tissue...Wat an understandin 'gentleman'..=)
After e movie, we were discussing about this and tat and advertising clara with all her emotional attributes. As usual couldnt decide where to go for dinner, Steve was lip shut. In the end, went to Yoshinoya. Ordered some chicken rice Jap style large set - $6.40. Was dam hungry..DL ordered salmon and Steve ordered nth, saying tt his mum cooked le. Mine was e last to arrive and by then, bro already finished his. We chatted, with Clara being the 'Joke of the Day' again..=P Its amazing tat the 9 of us all have different personalities and whn we come together, sparks jus flew. Jol was laughin dam hard beside me as Clara was tellin abt her weird friend who thinks tat potato is meat and hotdog is vegetable. You could almost see Jol's face crackin as she struggled to supress herself. =) It was a nice and enjoyable sea of laughter and craziness. =P
Gene and Jay went clubbing, Steve and DL went home at east, Jol to CCK, Clara to AMK and bro n i to TPY. After bidding gdbyes, Clara, Jol, bro n i took the north line. Had some interestin conversation abt marriage and our views. Nice things always come to an end as we bidded gdbye but there will always be the next meetin..=)
Reached home, did chin-ups. I suck manz, did 3.9 only, i am doomed. For some reason, i cannot clench my left fist, it feels like someone is tryin to pull them open whn i do it. Now, my right arm too. Weird, i don wanna lose the abilities of my arms. Grabbin my Colin Mcrae 4 discs, i went home.
So jus like this, 2006 CNY was over. Somehow, i still missed those times we had when we were much younger. Those carefree and childish and not-so-much-responsibilities days as we play PS, cards and some other wacko games. Nevetheless, i will still treasure wat we have now and pray tat 20 years down the road, we would still be as close. =)
