How Do You Know It's Love?
1. When, at the beginning of the day, you are already filled with thoughts of the other person: what he/she is doing, how he/she looks, what you could do to make him/her smile today… when something good or nice happens to you, you always think of how you must share this with him/her, be it a funny story or a moment of your triumph. You always wish that he/she would be right there with you, but even if he/she isn’t, it’s okay because you know that soon you will be together and you anticipate that. No moment, no matter how dull it seems like simply watching TV together, is ever a wasted moment. Every minute counts when you’re with that person.
2. You become selfless. And you start thinking more about what would be good for the other person, than what would be good for you. Your ultimate happiness is to be able to make that other person happy. You take care of him/her and you keep looking out for him/her. Be reminded however that making the other person happy does not include inflicting or causing harm to yourself or being untrue to yourself. You don’t ask that person to do sacrifices for you either, such as doing stuff you asked them to do just to prove their love to you.
3. You start to think of how it would be to be with this person forever… and you relish that dream or feeling. The thought of spending the rest of your lives together is not seen as being stuck with another person, but is considered to be a very wonderful idea.
4. Even if there are other people who are more beautiful or attractive, you still choose to be with this person. This means your commitment to this person is absolute. You have fully and undeniably decided to be with only him/her no matter what. It is not only love, but also devotion.
5. There is passion and fireworks, even after the infatuation period of six months. If you have been together for such a long time now, but aren’t bored out of your minds yet and can still feel the fire burning – simply because you keep it burning (and this requires dedication and effort), is a clear indication that love is still shared between two people.
6. There is a desire to understand each other, even at the biggest of arguments. You continue to communicate openly and do not harshly judge each other. You accept each other’s faults and shortcomings. For example, no matter how fat she gets and no matter how much he drools when he sleeps, you still stay and love the person. Also, you stay true and honest to that person.
7. There is a great deal of respect, admiration and trust for this person. And she/he has earned it well.
Well everyone, got this out of someone's blog and its quite applicable actually, to me at least. It makes sense, and who knows, it may just be true. Coz the person who wrote this is already married and i think he should know what he's talking about. And coz i feel that way for most parts. Hahz.. Alright, enjoy the post and goodnight.

Yo guys. I'm compering once again. This time for a different event, though in the same school. My first time doing it in NJ was during the councillor investiture, an unexpected job given to me-to host it. Hosting events in BP was very different. The general mood was more relaxed, pretty much unlike in NJ. Pretty much similar to this, its surprising how the course of your life can suddenly change, just like a solitary boat in the vast ocean. Well, mine changed at about the start of this year and this is not exactly the place for such tales. Its just my restlessness that's making my mind churn up thoughts which are pessimistic, screwing up my mood. And that's why i needed to come here. To at least have something to occupy me with; to at least feel that this webpage, though very much unlike a person, has the capacity to understand how i'm feeling right now.
That's probably why i started this blog in the first place. Its an outlet, an imaginary portal, that distracts me from the worries i constantly have. None, other than a specific few, will know completely what i'm talking about; and few will know too, what the worries are about; and none will know the extent to which the worries portray how much i care, how much it matters that it happens.
Haha, most are probably wondering what crap is this guy talking about now. Well, its not crap and i probably shouldn't talk more. Hahz.. Well, today i had to meet a Mr Whitby for matters concerning compering and stuff. All the SISC crap is making me feel quite alone. I mean, hell, i dun exactly know anyone there. It makes the whole thing boring and probably a slight chill of foreboding kinda shrouds everything. Not that i'm afraid or anything (seriously, i've done too much emcee-ing to feel that way), its just that NJ doesn't really make me feel i belong. The IPs are dominating the organisation of the whole event, leaving the mainstream wonderously out of the picture and that's probably what i think NJ is all about. Too much emphasis is being placed on the IPs and the mainstream people dun even feel that they belong. Everything is just my opinion though and people are free to retort if they like.
Well, i'm probably gonna end off here. Nothing much to type actually. But if you've completely understood the whole post, its sort of an achievement. But its quite impossible. Not coz of the english here-its just moderate vocabulary, but coz of the requirement to understand me almost completely before you understand what this post means. This is probably not the right time to try understanding me though, if anyone is even interested, haha. For JC2 people reading this blog, its probably time to go back to studying, an irritating issue that's always at the back of our heads nowadays, growing more prominent as the prospect of 'A' levels draw nearer.

There's been nothing much to update you guys about, so i apologise to anyone who's been keeping a constant look-up at my blog for new posts. So its been quite some time since my last compere job and now i'm back. Emcee for Singapore International Science Challenge (SISC) for NJ. It seems like a huge event and that sort of puts a little stress on me. The familiar fluttering in the stomach.
Had a rehearsal today which spanned from 4.30 to about 7 for me. Knew no one there except for my cousin and 2 other random friends. Got to know the emcee after some time and then everything went quite okay. Was pretty bored there actually; there was nothing much to do for the emcees. Holiday homework's piling up again like nobody's business with every homework jockeying for position in my timetable. Haha.. Pretty weird phrasing but the meaning's still there.
Seriously, i never thought i'll think about playing volleyball so much when i just graduated from bp. Guess volleyball just took up a lot of my secondary school time and volleyball was a place-sport-time where i could express my feelings. Whenever frustration sets in, the ball will be the first thing on which i'll vent it on. And the halls where we had training at; the tears, blood, sweat and scoldings we went through, guess that's wad makes people reminisce: feelings.
But of course, volleyball's only second to wad i've been thinking about.

MADE FOR LOVING YOU~Blue
My Girl
Some things are meant to be
I told you once, I told you twice
That boy you been with, doubt he aint right
I see the tears, you try to hide
That boy you been with, way out of line
I've been there through sun and rain
I've been there to ease the pain
Got to learn how to break the chain
Girl if i gave you
[Chorus]If I gave you my world, would you be my girl?
What would it take?
I'd wait forever
Some things are meant to be, you and me
And if you take a piece of my heart, a touch of your soul
Look what we've got, we fit together
I know this much is true
I was made for loving you
Just ask your friends, I've seen him out
That boy you been with, he's playing around
I'm here because, confirm your doubt
That boy you been with, to me he aint down
I'll been there though time will change
I'll be there I'll be the same
Til you learn how to break the chain
Girl if I gave you
[Chorus]If I gave you my world, would you be my girl?
What would it take?
I'd wait forever
Some things are meant to be, you and me
And if you take a piece of my heart, a touch of your soul
Look what we've got, we fit together
I know this much is true
I was made for loving you
You make it, you take it
It's clear to me there is something between us
Mistake it, my heart's breaking
I'm begging you please
I've been there through sun and rain
I've been there to ease the pain
Got to learn how to break the chain
Girl if i gave you
[Chorus - repeat to fade]If I gave you my world, would you be my girl?
What would it take?
I'd wait forever
Some things are meant to be, you and me
And if you take a piece of my heart, a touch of your soul
Look what we've got, we fit together
I know this much is true
I was made for loving you

Below: Not proud of this picture but anyway, its taken during one of my random competitions before Nationals. I'm flying.. Green. Just green. Probably a little red.
LOL.. Recently, I've been bombarded with questions about my recent posts.. So, I've decided to spare myself the agony of saying its nothing and just post a normal entry. The much touted Nationals Schools and SYF are finally here, with many ccas slogging their guts out, all for that one placing in their games or performing arts. For me, after much labourous training progammes and landing in sandpits, the final test of my skills has arrived. Due to my giant switch in events from long distance to jumps and sprints, my energy had been rapidly sapped away by my adapting muscles. And the short training time given to us atheletics has taken its toll on me. Many times, I have felt exasperated, coz there are just too many skills to programme into my body in too short a period of time. On 13 April, the first day of my competition, as I entered cck stadium in the early hours of the morning, I felt the heavy mood in the air. The whole stadium was cloaked in a weighted silence, except for the random shouts emitted by the few people warming up. My heart rate increased, pumping adrenaline as well as glucose stocked up from the night before, throughout my whole body. For once, I felt ready to do my long jump. As I warmed up with the rest of the jumpers, none of us talked. I was trying to visualise the sandpit and the jump techniques, be it the run-up, lift-off or hang in the air. Then, the call for 'A' div long jumpers was announced. This is it. We were led off towards the jump pit in an almost orderly single file. The sun beat down on us mercilessly. Once we reached the sandpit, its time for the final phases of warm up-the final run-up. After this was done, the officials promptly started the long jump coompetition. One by one, the jumpers did their jumps. Some succeeded in qualifying straight away, while others couldnt do it. In a flash, I qualified on my first jump. For a moment, when the official raised a while flag, I couldnt believe it; I am actually in the finals.On the same day, in the afternoon, my finals came. Now I didnt feel any stress or nervousness at all probably coz I've already reached my expectations. But, I couldnt let the other finalists get into top 8 so easily too. Deep down I knew that my level of experience and expertise is incomparable to theirs, but since I'm already in the finals, I decided to give them one hell of a time trying to get into top 8. In the end, wow.. They really jumped far.. Lol.. And I had to satisfy with a 12th placing. Good enough for a starter like me, I reckon.Today, 15th April, I totally screwed up my triple jump. It has always been my weakest event coz firstly, my triple jump trainings were few and far between and secondly, this resulted in me having little confidence. So, hahz. I shall not talk about the competition much. Quite disappointed though.Below: Just before our long jump qualifiers. Seriously dunno wad we were laughing at.
