From my most primitive post onwards, I have yet to &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;upload a preposterous picture&lt;/span&gt;, its all words at the moment. Heartened and persuaded by people, this author yearns for a comeback to this anomalous hobby and aspires to &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;maintain the discretion&lt;/span&gt; that this blog receives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;After our recent expedition to &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Kulai, Johor in Malaysia&lt;/span&gt; on last Friday to Saturday, I returned with a whole new experience embedded and entrenched in the walls of my very petite mind. I was not really contented or satisfied with how I played against the stalwart and resilient &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Malaysians&lt;/span&gt; who were &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;aged two years apart from us&lt;/span&gt;. Deemed ham-fisted and heavy-handed, the matches commenced comprised of intricate trials that I'm obliged to surmount, leaving me emaciated like the very cheap petals of shrivelled flora, trodden by putrid feet on the earth. I was entwined with chains &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;called worry&lt;/span&gt; impaled to the ground, it became &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;harder to breath&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Anyway, resuming to optimism, I'm pleased to have shared that incomparable experience with my &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;great friends&lt;/span&gt; especially, it was beyond doubt, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;without an equal&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Priceless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;In the final paragraph of this post, I blatantly announce and reveal the &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;strong motivation that lead me to publish this post&lt;/span&gt;. It lies in the heavy breathing exhausting down my neck, rather of an unpleasant odour. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;My cousin&lt;/span&gt; is one of the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;most sceptical and cynical&lt;/span&gt; people that I have ever approached. To prove him that &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;do not exploit dictionaries or other written sources&lt;/span&gt; to inspire the vocabulary applied, I published this right in front of his face, not even twitching a muscle to navigate away from the webpage. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Another post might not crop up after this one&lt;/span&gt; as I frankly have no other intention of ever publishing, its rather daunting, to be candid. At the moment, I'm organizing the crucial mental preparation essential for tommorow's tournament match against &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;PUNGGOL SEC&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;have faith...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http%3A%2F%2Fmakefofolina.free.fr%2Fradio.blog%2Fsounds%2FThe%20Fray%20-%20How%20To%20Save%20A%20Life.mp3.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;its not water, its a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;basic necessity&lt;/span&gt;, bye&lt;br /&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-8346007218436058463?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/8346007218436058463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=8346007218436058463' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/8346007218436058463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/8346007218436058463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/03/risen-from-ground.html' title='Risen From The Ground'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-5666533948514665994</id><published>2007-02-14T19:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-14T20:17:37.940+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Named After A Christian Martyr</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Named After A Christian Martyr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;The amount of gifts and letters sent on this day is so significant that it was made the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;second largest gift-giving holiday of the year&lt;/span&gt;, after &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Christmas&lt;/span&gt;. This uncanny day became associated with romantic love in the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;High Middle Ages&lt;/span&gt;, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. Through the ages of time, this habitual day of &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;exquisite dating&lt;/span&gt; soon cultivated into more than a &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;global holiday&lt;/span&gt;, and into a culture. A tradition. Acknowledged by copious countries &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;worldwide&lt;/span&gt;, this is the day worth celebrating, at least for stereotypes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People, principally female, carried a lot of &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"gifts"&lt;/span&gt; that seemed to be &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"given"&lt;/span&gt; to them and it looked &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;VERY&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;expensive&lt;/span&gt;, like plastic transparent roses which petals were abounded with a runny and dyed fluid that you could purchase at any shoddy bookshop. It takes one to wonder, if the &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"gifts"&lt;/span&gt; that they were &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;flaunting ever so condescendingly&lt;/span&gt; were not given by a male guest, but a female friend, who's intent was having a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;gift-exchange&lt;/span&gt; kind of thing &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;between themselves&lt;/span&gt;. Anyway, this is sounding quite absurd already. Call it intuition. Or an instinct. Or maybe just a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;stupid guess&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appeared &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;quaint and droll&lt;/span&gt; to me why females get so animated over a day like this. It wasn't just any day, it was a &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;WEDNESDAY&lt;/span&gt;. It seemed apparent to me that they must have thought about this upcoming day, what they should do, what they would do. To an ignorant individual, it may seem pointless to carry out all that &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;drudgery&lt;/span&gt;. I mean, its a &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;WEDNESDAY&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was both &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;impressed and inspired&lt;/span&gt; by the works of countless youths in the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Royal Commonwealth Society's Essay Competition&lt;/span&gt;. Simply astounding and beyond belief. The year before, I did not really bother about attaining a place in the prestigious archive of the company. But I would &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;appreciate&lt;/span&gt; it if I made it through. Really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http://alyssia93.free.fr/radio/radio.blog/sounds/Five For Fighting - Something About You.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;realise that no &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"Valentine"&lt;/span&gt; was being mentioned, bye&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-5666533948514665994?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/5666533948514665994/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=5666533948514665994' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/5666533948514665994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/5666533948514665994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/02/named-after-christian-martyr.html' title='Named After A Christian Martyr'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-117093490483414410</id><published>2007-02-08T18:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-02-08T20:40:41.326+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'll Keep Holding On</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;I'll Keep Holding On&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Back to posting one darn post again, been &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;wanting to post yesterday&lt;/span&gt; but I was &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;deprived of that opportunity&lt;/span&gt; as I had to deal with the villainous attack of the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;graphic card&lt;/span&gt;. It turns out that I had to wait it out unwearyingly, exploiting the time for &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;tuition assignments&lt;/span&gt;. Putting that behind, I most indubitably think that my friendship with some great friends have &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;reinvigorated since the year before&lt;/span&gt;, one of them is &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;ZhiHao&lt;/span&gt;. Taking the same bus from school almost on a daily basis, going to the same &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Bubble Tea Store&lt;/span&gt; each day, has &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;ZhiHao&lt;/span&gt; talking more and more, to me and to each other, which makes our jaunt to the interchange less dreary and instead more genial. Our jovial conversations have made me understanding one thing - there are many people out there wanting to go to a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"better"&lt;/span&gt; academically rated school, and have been invited in fact. But they turned down the offer to go to a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"not so good"&lt;/span&gt; academically rated school, but in fact they found out that they coped exceptionally, with some exceptions...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the caption states, I have been facing and will face perilous difficulties and obstacles during this bloody year, which makes my progress the year before all immaterial, not even worth mentioning. With Ms Teo's remark of me being a little &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"stiff",&lt;/span&gt; I got the idea instantaneously that &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;amendments for the better have to be made&lt;/span&gt;. But I have no notion why i turned out to be this way, contrasting the me last year. As drivel and ludicrous as it may sound, I used to see the ball coming at me visibly and was even well-prepared for the oncoming ball, receiving it with most effort and with a clear mind, at least I thought I had...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But things have &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;all subjected to change now&lt;/span&gt;, making life more wretched and disheartening for me. But I have got a sentiment that I am deficient in or lack the focus, as &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;I think too much&lt;/span&gt;. The most peculiar part is that my delibrate and conscious mind is aware of this, which rationally makes things worse, as if it was not unscrupulous enough. I could feel like a mental block even now, not too much of realization. I hope I could surmount all worries, and acquire the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;confidence&lt;/span&gt; that my better-off teammates have. As long as I &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;keep holding on&lt;/span&gt;, giving my most undying of efforts and never forsaking what I had started for, also considering this absence of &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"skill"&lt;/span&gt; as if I am rock-bottom at the learning curve and I quote -&lt;span style="color:#cc6600;"&gt; "you are at the lowest point of your life and you have no other way to go but &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;UP&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;, and with all this I hope to be the resilient and persistant person that dwells whimsily in my caprice of a thousand words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With every daybreak come, I would endeavor my unsurpassed of efforts and seek to be optimistic, instead of being pessimistic and cynical, and look at the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"brighter"&lt;/span&gt; side of things...hopefully&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http://jayrome.b.free.fr/radio.blog/sounds/Avril Lavigne - Keep holding on.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;its not a blog, its a&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt; revolution&lt;/span&gt;, from the sountrack of &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Eragon&lt;/span&gt;, bye&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-117093490483414410?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/117093490483414410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=117093490483414410' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/117093490483414410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/117093490483414410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/02/ill-keep-holding-on.html' title='I&apos;ll Keep Holding On'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-117024606524152264</id><published>2007-01-31T19:09:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-31T20:21:11.360+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Saving Me</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Saving Me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;This novel post is going to be the &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;culmination&lt;/span&gt; that portends &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;the end of January&lt;/span&gt;, hopefully a noteworthy and decorous tribute to the month renowned for being called &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"January".&lt;/span&gt; The most primitive of months in the year is already going to put up the shutters, calling it quits. And the salutation of &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;February&lt;/span&gt; would, to the highest degree, be embraced, leaving lots of people with gifts sitting around the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;bitter and nauseating cake&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, when we were acquainted with the information to come back to school on the third day in the integral &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;year of 2007&lt;/span&gt;, I really was not bored rigid at all, instead, it was just another day of training or rather practice and to add to the demise, it was complemented with colossal and hulking pages of paper compacted in to a stack, also known as &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;textbooks&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was also the period that we could discern who was going to subsist as the secondary one batch this year. Some of the subsidiary subordinates, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;young and reckless&lt;/span&gt; as they are, were &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;singing their own praises&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;showing-off what they do not have dominance over&lt;/span&gt;, austerely injudicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We vied with &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;PASIR RIS SEC&lt;/span&gt; today, leaving with the score &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;25-something&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;25-7&lt;/span&gt; emblazoned on the feeble scoreboard, being subjected to victory at the end of the day. I would &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;endeavour my most preeminent of effort&lt;/span&gt; and be &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;unrivaled&lt;/span&gt; at the multifarious sport. We are against &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;HAI SING CATHOLIC SCH&lt;/span&gt; tommorow during the hours of daylight, attempting to use their stature against them, somehow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, disparate my other posts, I had a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;particular rationale on why I had posted them&lt;/span&gt;. But quaint as it is, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;this post had no subject and I was merely shooting transitory subjects&lt;/span&gt;.

Spectating them &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;at the side&lt;/span&gt; under intense scrutiny, how I wished I could &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;join them&lt;/span&gt; in trouncing the forlorn opponents, shooting them down. Well, there are a whole lot of things in this world that people want to have but it's &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;so far away&lt;/span&gt; that it will not seem viable,&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt; virtually impossible&lt;/span&gt;, drowning their spirits in the mendacity and the scandals of our &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;worst adversary in our lives&lt;/span&gt;, our &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;LIFE&lt;/span&gt;. Each and every one of us in the society view life in different perspectives, customarily based on that particular &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;"good"&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;"bad"&lt;/span&gt; day, and this makes our opinions inapplicable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although, I feel exceedingly proud of myself being in the main twelve, but I got the impression that I got into that position &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;by sheer chance and luck&lt;/span&gt;. I most certainly think that I could be much better at the sport, if I had not &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;progressed on the trip&lt;/span&gt; to somewhere, &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;ditching practice&lt;/span&gt;, then this would all be easier. But it would look as if I 'm finding an excuse why I suddenly &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;faired so devastatingly&lt;/span&gt; in the sport when I came back from the getaway to somewhere. Maybe its all in the head &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;( like I said before ),&lt;/span&gt; but either way, all would be lost at the end of the day as &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;nothing that I do could revolutionize the outcome&lt;/span&gt; of this situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carrying on with what progressed today, we were arranged to deal with &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;CHUENG CHENG HIGH&lt;/span&gt;, and we won, trying to show the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;least of arrogance&lt;/span&gt;. Some did, of course, but I feel &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;no glory, no euphoria&lt;/span&gt;, because I did not really contribute to their inevitable sucess, besides uplifting and cheering them on at the side. I really wanted to feel the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;intense ecstasy&lt;/span&gt; and the sweat again when we would win, like in the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;VAS-UNDER 13 tournament&lt;/span&gt;, when we were still in two secluded teams, and I feel as if I had &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;played much better&lt;/span&gt; at that point of time. Well, say no more... feeling worse by the minute...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are orchestrated to face &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;PASIR RIS SEC&lt;/span&gt; tommorrow, we should more or less be in our top-form, obliterating any form of antagonists, really have our hopes on winning this next match.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some dreams are like &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;bubbles&lt;/span&gt;, when we try to reach out for them, they burst at the most salient time, leaving us with &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;soapy hands to wash&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http://www.seduceme.org/cory/radio.blog/sounds/Staind - So Far Away.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;all thought by me&lt;/span&gt;, no doubts, believe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-117015685651411650?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/117015685651411650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=117015685651411650' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/117015685651411650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/117015685651411650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/so-far-away.html' title='So Far Away'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-117007087517276379</id><published>2007-01-29T18:36:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-29T19:41:15.396+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Just Stay With Me Now</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Just Stay With Me Now&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Just stay with me now...&lt;br /&gt;until &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;WE&lt;/span&gt; send your sorry bottoms back to where it came from. I &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;absconded class early&lt;/span&gt; and skipped a few more after that, leaving at &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;10.45am&lt;/span&gt;, that was most perceptibly anticipated. I really have an aversion to leaving class early and missing lessons because when we come back, almost everything that is being projected out of the teacher's mouth is &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;foreign and outlandish&lt;/span&gt;. But I don't mind abiding that for a week or so if it means that we could compete in the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;EAST ZONE&lt;/span&gt; tournament...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We competed against &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;GEYLANG METHODIST SEC&lt;/span&gt; today and we triumph over them, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;25-7&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;25-4&lt;/span&gt;. I estimated that they would be more unfaltering, not implying that they are not. Well, I managed to be subsituted in the second set, but not for long, only during the last four points, after &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;ZhiHao&lt;/span&gt; had served. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Atypically, I didn't even made contact with the ball&lt;/span&gt; and after eight whistles, the referee concluded the match with some hand indications and a few blows from his whistle, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;malodorous with the odour of saliva&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that match, we continued on spectating the many matches to ensue, and one of them was &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;CHUENG CHENG HIGH&lt;/span&gt;, the team that &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Brian&lt;/span&gt; was on, and the invariable team that we would be facing tommorow. I could really tell that he improved a lot, comparing him to his ambiguous teammates that &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;didn't seem much of a adversity&lt;/span&gt;, not being offensive or anything. If only he could join our team, it would be &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;the team to beat&lt;/span&gt;. But really, his coach and the training regime that they undergo is not really effective but he was still able to &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;fabricate the pleasant outcome&lt;/span&gt; of his gift in the sport. I hope to put up a &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;fair and virtous fight&lt;/span&gt; against them, being &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;superlative sportsmen&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just want to voice out too, that our blogs are &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;our unspoken voices&lt;/span&gt;, and although it becomes &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;public property on the net&lt;/span&gt;, I emphasize fervently that everything in each and every one of our blogs should not be &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;copied or replicated elsewhere&lt;/span&gt;, especially in &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;other's blogs&lt;/span&gt;. one example, is &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;the way we write&lt;/span&gt; and our style of writing, the&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; sign-offs&lt;/span&gt; and what &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;topic we post about&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;( especially like this ).&lt;/span&gt; If we were to &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"extract"&lt;/span&gt; information from one blog to yours &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;( for instance ),&lt;/span&gt; the person getting his or her copied would feel appalling, and the person copying is not being original. And &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;originality are what blogs are all about...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http://jaam.free.fr/radio.blog/sounds/The Used - I Caught Fire (In Your Eyes).rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hope people view it from a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;positive&lt;/span&gt; perspective, bye&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-117007087517276379?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/117007087517276379/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=117007087517276379' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/117007087517276379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/117007087517276379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/just-stay-with-me-now.html' title='Just Stay With Me Now'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116981262606837799</id><published>2007-01-26T19:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-29T18:35:49.316+08:00</updated><title type='text'>There Is No Title To This Post...to cut it short, Untitled</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;There Is No Title To This Post...to cut it short, Untitled&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;This would be the last post before I reach into &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;EAST ZONE OVERDRIVE&lt;/span&gt;, the epoch where we will &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;face antagonism&lt;/span&gt; between several schools in a small court, measuring 9 metres by 9 metres. The &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;EAST ZONE&lt;/span&gt; tournament would commence next week, on a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Monday 12.30pm&lt;/span&gt;, at &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;TEMASEK POLYTECHNIC&lt;/span&gt;, an &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;ephemeral walk&lt;/span&gt; from our school. In view of the fact that our match would begin at 12.30pm, we have to reach there 1 hour earlier, which insinuates that we have to &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;leave class at around 10.45am&lt;/span&gt;. To a minority of my teammates, they pushed the boat out when they were made aware of this "good news". I was&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; not really fond&lt;/span&gt; of the fact that we had to skip class to go for a match, I mean, its two weeks off classes. But I irrevocably came up with a resolution on how I should and would do to make sure I have the homework and the notes in my hand at the end of each day. &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Well, managed to get that off my chest...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What transpired yesterday on Thursday... was that &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;it rained during P.E&lt;/span&gt; and so, requested by &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Mr Kwok&lt;/span&gt;, we amused ourselves with a game of so called &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"floorball",&lt;/span&gt; where there was a whole lot people &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;squashing and killing cockroaches&lt;/span&gt;. Actually, its just one cockroach, in a shape of a white, plastice ball with regular holes encircling it, also known as a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;floorball&lt;/span&gt;. The phenomenon took initiated at an &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;inadequate and meagre small porch&lt;/span&gt;, which was relatively small for a 6 on 6 floorball match. Totally cramped my style...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About today, was rapturous and thrilled when &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;SengWhye&lt;/span&gt; came to me with an &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;ASICS&lt;/span&gt; cardboard shoebox, saying that their order for new shoes had arrived. He opened the compacted box most jubilantly, hiding no grin behind his &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;orthodoxical face&lt;/span&gt;. What revealed itself was the &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;ASICS GEL-ROCKET&lt;/span&gt;, the pair of shoes that my father was going to get me. I did actually object that pair of shoes from my father, maybe because I didn't want be &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;conspicuous and stand out&lt;/span&gt; from my fellow teammates, but that fleeting look of what's inside the shoebox really mitigated the tension that I was experiencing. Felt a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;LOT&lt;/span&gt; better after that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The opening match of the&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt; EAST ZONE&lt;/span&gt; tournament is coming closer, and we are up against &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;GEYLANG METHODIST SEC&lt;/span&gt; for the second time, the first face-off at the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;VAS-UNDER 13&lt;/span&gt; tournament. I always believed in &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;overestimating your opponent&lt;/span&gt;, although some times it may &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;not really be a good thing&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http://sk0r.free.fr/radio.blog/sounds/Snow Patrol - Run.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;mood swings prohibited by law, fine $... you kidding me?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116981262606837799?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116981262606837799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116981262606837799' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116981262606837799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116981262606837799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/there-is-no-title-to-this-postto-cut.html' title='There Is No Title To This Post...to cut it short, Untitled'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116955688678826577</id><published>2007-01-23T19:20:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-23T20:54:46.986+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I Won't Worry My Life Away</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;I Won't Worry My Life Away&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;The one thing that we &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;obnoxious&lt;/span&gt; people should not do in our lives is &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;WORRY&lt;/span&gt;. If we would just &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;solicit ourselves&lt;/span&gt; about what benefit does it have for us to agonize, we probably would not &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;construe to an appropriate retort&lt;/span&gt; too. As most wise and old people say, we only have &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;ONE&lt;/span&gt; chance to live our &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;piteous and poignant&lt;/span&gt; lives, so might as well not look back at the past and just appreciate what we have now, and as most people say, take &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;nothing for granted&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Gather Your Courage. Run. Leave No Room For Regrets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I used &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;to take for granted&lt;/span&gt; the people and possesions around me, &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;not sparing contemplation&lt;/span&gt; for them. But a lot has &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;materialize during the bygones of purile years&lt;/span&gt;, and it has changed me or I should say, encouraged me to change most certainly for the better. We should just give our all, not abandoning the most slight of effort, and &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;advocate ourselves&lt;/span&gt; to performing or being the best that we could ever be. Worrying would only hinder us and if we did, our progress thus far would all be insignificant, most unsatisfactory of all, it would &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;make us even more worried&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This feels &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;most discomfited&lt;/span&gt;, pending from a person who worries most of his time. But a few more words of wisdom for the people, is that what worries us the most is seemingly the &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;most tranquil of problems to solve&lt;/span&gt;. Worrying would not do us &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;ANY&lt;/span&gt; good too, and to put it in a nutshell, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;amiable is what we all should be&lt;/span&gt; and not worry our life away.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Not only will it cost you a couple of years off your lifetime, it would all be for &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;NOTHING&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http://elainey.tincx.net/radioooo/radio.blog/sounds/Jason Mraz - The Remedy (I Won't Worry).rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a rather &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;short &lt;/span&gt;post and the song's a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;personal favourite&lt;/span&gt;, bye&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116955688678826577?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116955688678826577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116955688678826577' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116955688678826577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116955688678826577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-wont-worry-my-life-away.html' title='I Won&apos;t Worry My Life Away'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116912466586187454</id><published>2007-01-18T20:26:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-19T19:48:48.660+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Who I Am Hates Who I've Been</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Who I am Hates Who I've Been&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Summarising all the &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;most mundane&lt;/span&gt; of events today, I can't find a &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;apposite reason&lt;/span&gt; why people should visit this blog or this post for that reason. Anyway, just want to post that we had an assignment a few days ago where we were divided into &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;rather diminutive groups where each obtuse member&lt;/span&gt; had to write a Text-Type Scaffold of the genre Science-Fiction. I'll just skip the extras, my friend's and my scaffold got chosen for the whole class, and this meant that they had to choose either one to follow for the composition that they going to write. Well, I actually didn't want my scaffold to be chosen as it seemed that I was the only one who really understands the storyline and all the characters. But then again, it got chosen &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;for whatever invalid reason&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I am &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;always open to the maturity&lt;/span&gt; of what growing up or has to offer.  Not realising how self-indulgent I was during the past few years of primary school, I had been &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;prejudiced against&lt;/span&gt; some of the &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;most praiseworthy of friends&lt;/span&gt;. Few years ago, that is. I am really starting to think about how I should have and should not have done during the past few years &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;( Sound familiar? ).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To encapsulate everything, I &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;WAS&lt;/span&gt; a jerk. Just came to a conclusion, that I must make a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;personal apology&lt;/span&gt; for those who hanged in there for me, a long time ago, and now I have found even more friends like them, &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;compassionate and trustworthy, really great friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And now, growing up into a pre-adult stage, things are starting to come clear to me. Being more &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;cognisant and sensitive&lt;/span&gt;, I have been able to see &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;perfection&lt;/span&gt; in other people, my friends. But even if I see &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;imperfection&lt;/span&gt;, I would give my all to help each and every one of them, knowing that they  would lend me their most unwavering of hands, to lift me up, back onto my feet, carrying me on their shoulders, resembling &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;GOD&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;in a way. I would never pray for better friends as these people are the ones that are already the paramount of friends one could ever get - &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;the best&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is dedicated to the people who want to know about how much&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; I detest who I have been&lt;/span&gt;.

Everytime a Math test would pop up on a day, I would start having a really serious running nose &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;that could even beat China's Liu Xiang's best 500m track record&lt;/span&gt;. Guess what, I had a Math Test today. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;( Surprise )&lt;/span&gt; I personally thought that the running would end after school, right before training would start, well, I have to say, I was bloody wrong. Instead it &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;reached its peak&lt;/span&gt; during training...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;During the last one and a half hours of training, we were supposed to go up to the hall and play a &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;few matches with the B Girls&lt;/span&gt;. To be really exact, that would be five sets in total. When the team that I was in was finally going to play aginst them, I realised that I &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;have a new and upcoming opponent against me&lt;/span&gt;, and it was stuck and protruding at the centre of my face - &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;my nose&lt;/span&gt;. And it attacked me with a&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; transparent liquid&lt;/span&gt; and it was trying to free itself from my nose and I had to use my &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;breath-in-hard and release techniques&lt;/span&gt;. I know that would not do any good but I had no choice either. Well, I tryed to ignore it and I think that I somehow did manage to pull through this.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, after that, when I was approached by my &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;really great friends&lt;/span&gt;, they asked whether I was going to buy &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Bubble Tea&lt;/span&gt;. And so I replied with a nod and a smile. Well, when we exited the boundaries of the school, &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Ms Teo, our coach, was exiting with us&lt;/span&gt; and went in the same direction as where the Bubble Tea store was but she was going to the nearby foodcourt to take-away something which seemed to be food that which it could be eaten..&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;interesting&lt;/span&gt;. Then, when I had almost finished buying Bubble Tea, Ms Teo &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;came along and exposed us&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;The funny part&lt;/span&gt; was that she saw me holding a cup of ice-cold Bubble Tea in my right-hand with a straw pierced in the center of the stretched plastic cover and asked me why I was still drinking Bubble Tea when I had a cold. Actually, it was &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;not funny at all&lt;/span&gt; but I didn't know what word to replace it with... At that moment,&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt; I was like literally mute&lt;/span&gt;, nothing could come out of my mouth, not even a word for that instance. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But really, I &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;did not notice the cold that&lt;/span&gt; I was having while I was drinking Bubble Tea, guessed I was too engrossed on slurping what's inside the cup. Anyway, Ms Teo left and I was about to do that same thing too with some of my friends. What happended next was that I &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;prayed instantly&lt;/span&gt; when I got unto an &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;SBS BUS&lt;/span&gt; that my &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;recurring sneezing&lt;/span&gt; would &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;come to a halt&lt;/span&gt;. And it did, and I was feeling kind of relieved after that.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And I actually think that it was the &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;on-off rainfall during the past few days&lt;/span&gt; that caused my cold. But at the same time it &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;would seem pointless to blame the climate&lt;/span&gt;. Have not been eating fruits for the past few days too,&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt; no time&lt;/span&gt; as I got quite a lot of work to be done, for instance the recent tuition work and some other things that &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;maybe didn't even exist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;would still come up with some more posts&lt;/span&gt; to keep people occupied. But for now, I'll stop here. &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Thank you for reading this&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http%3A%2F%2Fbbeyblack.free.fr%2Fradio.blog%2Fsounds%2FJohn%20Legend%20-%20Save%20Room.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;my heart is flooded, flooded with tears, bye&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116895330111828449?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116895330111828449/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116895330111828449' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116895330111828449'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116895330111828449'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-noseon-marathon.html' title='My Nose...On A Marathon'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116886289075828939</id><published>2007-01-15T19:22:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-15T20:40:36.160+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;BIG&lt;/span&gt; question here is...well, why do people have to &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;follow trends if it just makes them feel uncomfortable?&lt;/span&gt; If one does feel that way and still persists like a brainless nutcase, than carry on, nobody could and would stop a brainless nutcase, if it ever pops up, that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;First issue and most importantly the last&lt;/span&gt;, why on earth people fold their socks and make it seem like their wearing ankle socks?&lt;/span&gt; Found the solution, just wear bloody ankle socks and &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;not wear socks of normal length&lt;/span&gt; and fold it. I mean if you fold it, wouldn't the folded part &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;hurt&lt;/span&gt; your deformed toes or something. Or another outcome is that there will be ventilation at the ankles or should I say &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;a really big hole&lt;/span&gt;. Anyway, I think I should stop now although I really have a lot of things to say about this issue but I too do not want the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;FOLD YOUR SOCKS INTO ANKLE LENGTH GANG&lt;/span&gt; to come after the poor and helpless me. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Alright..I was just...jo....serious&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that the way people &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;think is very complicated until it seems so simple&lt;/span&gt;. To summarise it all, people follow trends so as to blend in, or camouflage in the society that they are living in. And so to make this clear, I am &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;not discriminating anyone or everyone&lt;/span&gt; in that case here. I am &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;just writing my thoughts and my opinions&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;nothing else&lt;/span&gt;. And I am &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;not out to point fingers or insult or criticise anyone&lt;/span&gt;, to get it straight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Got that, mor*n?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;( Joke. Funny. Laugh. Great, I see that you are not laughing but instead calling this lame )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Back to the topic, if people were ever to follow trends and look like each other, on one could &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;ever distinguish you from other people&lt;/span&gt;. I know that people think that doing something trendy will make them stand out. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;That is just plain &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;idiocracy&lt;/span&gt;, just to let people know. Whats makes you stand out of a vast crowd of people doing &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;the same, dull and monotonous thing&lt;/span&gt;? &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Common sense alone&lt;/span&gt; could and would be able to explain that to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, when people do see you, there will sometimes not see whats inside of you but a participant of a large crowd following trends in the society. As people know, trends come and go &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;like the wind from peoples' bottom&lt;/span&gt;. And its not very pretty. But bottom line, just follow whatever your heart, or rather your brain, thinks &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;that is totally YOU and just pursue it&lt;/span&gt;. You can apply whatever I have said in this post to your saddening life and I hope I could be of positive help. Wait, isn't help always positive? So that would be like crossing each other out...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;SAY NO TO PIRACY. BE ORIGINAL. BE YOURSELF.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazing-indulgences.com%2Fradio.blog%2Fsounds%2FGavin%20DeGraw%20-%20I%20Don't%20Wanna%20Be.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;people will love you just the way you are, acting not required&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116886289075828939?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116886289075828939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116886289075828939' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116886289075828939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116886289075828939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/i-dont-wanna-be-anything-other-than-me.html' title='I Don&apos;t Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116834281225259013</id><published>2007-01-09T18:39:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-09T19:53:35.553+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Tied to the ground.

Maybe its &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;psychological &lt;/span&gt;or &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;in the mind&lt;/span&gt; or something but I seriously have no fre*king idea. &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;This is what makes me so afraid, afraid to do anything&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Even Ms Teo said something about me having a mental block and saying that there is no such a thing call &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"recovering&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; your skills or anything and I definetely &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;believe and trust what she is saying&lt;/span&gt;. The main reason being because I think that she is wise and of course she's an elder to me and so I guess she has &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;A LOT&lt;/span&gt; of experience with this sort of thing. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;With experience, comes wisdom. Hopefully...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;But even with Ms Teo saying it, I honestly have &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;a pinch of doubt&lt;/span&gt; in my &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"skills"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;( whatever you people call them )&lt;/span&gt; and whatsoever. Its was like when a vile hurricane came and swept virtually anything in its path away and never left. But when it did, I was just lying there, asking &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;GOD&lt;/span&gt; for guidance...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;This unresolved issue&lt;/span&gt; has been going for like very long and I hope that I myself could come to a conclusion and be a better friend, a better student, a better son and of course a better sportsman.&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;GOD&lt;/span&gt;, I believe that your light will shine most heavenly when all else fades... Waiting on you, &lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;GOD&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yzhan.com%2Fwammforchrist%2Fradio.blog%2Fsounds%2FPlanet%20Shakers%20-%20All%20I'm%20Living%20For%20%5Bwww.christiandownloads.cjb.net%5D.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#E6E6E6;border:#BBBBBB;button:#999999;player_text:#999999;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;" bgcolor="#E6E6E6" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"&gt;GOD&lt;/span&gt;, in need of your help and guidance,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;lionel...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116834281225259013?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116834281225259013/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116834281225259013' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116834281225259013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116834281225259013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/tied-to-ground-hands-feet-everything.html' title='Tied to the ground.

Why that hurting my great friends' feelings after they read that post &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;didn't cross my mind&lt;/span&gt;. How insensitive could I be? I can't believe I would ever do such a thing. Its definitely &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;not my style and I'm absolutely in regret&lt;/span&gt; my friends and I would definitely take back &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;any amount of stupid things that I said&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#993300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have you people now, what have I got to worry about?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yesterday, I really didn't say anything about my birthday nor tell it to someone that it was my birthday during class and outside of class. But what really surprised my positively was that a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;really great friend of mine&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Mingyi&lt;/span&gt; came to and asked me what date was it and so I replied with a simple &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"4th January".&lt;/span&gt; But that didn't quite went through so a confession was what I had to make that was about having my birthday on that day and not telling anyone. I am truly glad that I have &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Mingyi&lt;/span&gt; as a friend and his presence was truly my present and the same goes to all of my &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;great friends&lt;/span&gt; :D&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I was really glad that he didn't even ask me nor did I tell him but later I knew that someone had reminded him and I knew instantly too that that someone might be a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;great friend&lt;/span&gt; too. haha :D. Then the news I think &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;spreaded like a small wildfire&lt;/span&gt; and soon everybody was &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;wishing me&lt;/span&gt; on that day asking me what do I like and those kind of things. What has really caused myself &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;to start thinking things over like what I have done, should have done and should not have done&lt;/span&gt; kind of things happened on the day which I have posted this blog, today.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Today, I was greeted by a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;really great friend of mine&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Darren&lt;/span&gt;, and he sincerely gave me a present saying &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;that it was nothing&lt;/span&gt; and about my belated birthtday. I know I am like sitting here posting this but I have got to say, &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"Are you kidding me?",&lt;/span&gt; that was really thoughtful of a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;really great friend&lt;/span&gt; and even when he said that it was small, it also meant that &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;no matter how minute a gift might look, it would still make a great difference to me.&lt;/span&gt; After school, a couple of my &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;really great friends&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Haijing and Evan&lt;/span&gt;, also presented me with presents for my birthday, insisting that I keep them. I would thank all of them &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;over a thousand times&lt;/span&gt; if I could and if they would allow me doing that.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What happened today has &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;really touched me inside and I am truly and eternally grateful&lt;/span&gt; to my friends and what they have done for me, and I would definitely stand up to them in the &lt;span style="color:#cc6600;"&gt;darkest of storms and in the most violent of seas no matter what&lt;/span&gt;. Not being a fair-weathered friend and definitely not giving up on you people, like what u have done for me...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And of course, the people that I would like to thank them &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;"personally"&lt;/span&gt; for making this blog possible.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;MINGYI, DARREN, HAIJING, EVAN, ABEL, TERENCE, JORDAN, BENJAMIN, CHRIS, ZHIHAO, CLEMENT, ALFRED, SENGWHYE, JUNYUAN, CHENGXIANG, ARJUN, MEISHAN, BERNARD&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;and of course&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;JONATHAN&lt;/span&gt;, who isn't with us at the moment but still a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;really great friend of mine. &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;Once a friend, always will be&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;thank you for EVERYTHING, eternally grateful&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116799673948074598?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116799673948074598/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116799673948074598' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116799673948074598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116799673948074598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/whats-under-my-nose-i-couldnt-see-full.html' title='What&apos;s under my nose I couldn&apos;t see, full of regret'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116790910842813974</id><published>2007-01-04T19:01:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-01-04T19:11:48.436+08:00</updated><title type='text'>HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#660000;"&gt;HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Haha, yar its my birthday today.

Just want to voice out that I'm just waiting for my &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;old &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; other self&lt;/span&gt; to come home...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If I were to ask someone who has been a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;close friend&lt;/span&gt; to me since primary days if I had changed any one bit since then, a nod is what I would &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;fre*king&lt;/span&gt; get. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I certainly feel that I, from a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;energetic, lively, talkative and somewhat humorous&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;person&lt;/span&gt;, have changed into a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;dead and decomposing idiot&lt;/span&gt;. If I were to ask someone who &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;just knew me&lt;/span&gt; in secondary school, that person would definitely contradict with what I had just said and would reply with a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;" humorous peron? you? c'mon, maybe you could try and make my toes laugh first! "&lt;/span&gt;, kind of reply. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have made very &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;close and trustworthy&lt;/span&gt; friends in my primary school and I think this was one of the reasons why I was able to open up to them, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;making them laugh and making them laugh again, and again&lt;/span&gt;. But thus far, some of the people I have met in this secondary school are no where near them them and I think this has caused me to sort of close up, shielding myself from what seemed the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;outside world of secondary school life&lt;/span&gt;. I guess that I'm just &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;not comfortable&lt;/span&gt; with them around yet. But not speaking up most of the time I think, has bloody caused my humor and talkative meter &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;to hit rock bottom&lt;/span&gt; and with friends that I'm not really keen on wanting to know more about them, I've just &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;managed to touch the core&lt;/span&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There are maybe one or two people that I have met who just doubt me in everything I bloody do. And this &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;su*ks, big time&lt;/span&gt;. Well, some of my close friends that I have made in primary school have &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;changed too&lt;/span&gt;, and I hope for the better. But in my case, I really hope all is not lost and I would really find just one &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;good friend who can turn the tables around for the better&lt;/span&gt; and show me there is not just only the &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;downside&lt;/span&gt; on this...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#660000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Getting it off my chest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, just came back for my trip to &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;HONG KONG&lt;/span&gt; which was a tour from &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;CHAN BROTHERS&lt;/span&gt;, a tour agent company. There were like a total of &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;17 &lt;/span&gt;people who came from &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;SINGAPORE&lt;/span&gt; to enjoy their well-planned holiday in &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;HONG KONG&lt;/span&gt;. I met really &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;fun people&lt;/span&gt; in the tour and I guess I quite did &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;open up to them&lt;/span&gt;, and it really brought back good memories from somewhere. There I met &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Rainer&lt;/span&gt;, a friend of the same age from &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;GREENVALE SECONDARY&lt;/span&gt; and it was really, really &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;fun&lt;/span&gt; getting to know him. And we would &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;crack any d*mn joke that we would think of&lt;/span&gt;... But really, most of them in the tour group were made up of people in their &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;17s&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;18s&lt;/span&gt; and it was really &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;fun&lt;/span&gt; talking to people that are slightly more mature than the people that I always &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;exchange verbal remarks&lt;/span&gt; with in school. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There were altogether &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;5 &lt;/span&gt;families in the tour including mine, made up of a boy who &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;experiences solitude all the bloody time&lt;/span&gt;. There were three families of three and two families of four in the whole tour. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There was a family that was made up of what seemed three sisters which had one of them who didn't look like the others and a mother. Both were aged &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;17&lt;/span&gt; except for the one who was &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;18&lt;/span&gt;. But I later found out that one of them who was &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;17&lt;/span&gt; was not a sister, but a neighbour studying at the same place and year as the other two, who looked very different from the other two. She looked and behaved really &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;cute&lt;/span&gt; by the way, &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;REALLY cute&lt;/span&gt;. Not as in a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;childish cute&lt;/span&gt;, but in a &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;like-matured-and-gentle-kind-of-cute&lt;/span&gt; cute. I found out that if one could just open one's mouth, the outcome of everything would change, and again I &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;hope for the better&lt;/span&gt;. And I hope I would know &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;more about&lt;/span&gt; her...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and that's what msn is for, bye&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116782650536966617?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116782650536966617/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116782650536966617' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116782650536966617'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116782650536966617'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/standing-there-waiting-for-you-to-come.html' title='Standing there, waiting for you to come home'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116694154529284340</id><published>2006-12-24T13:08:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-24T14:43:14.563+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Merry Christmas Eve Everyone</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#003300;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Merry Christmas Eve Everyone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Thank you very much for those people who took their time to visit this post during the &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Eve of Christmas&lt;/span&gt;.

running again after quite some time, due to some inconvenience caused. Anyway, decided to come up with this &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Billboard Post™&lt;/span&gt; thing where I &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;post songs and recommend albums&lt;/span&gt; and other stuff to the people out there and just talk &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;complete rubbish&lt;/span&gt; like all radio DJs do. By the way, please &lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;abide&lt;/span&gt; by the &lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;legal rights&lt;/span&gt;, you dumb*ss...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;© This is copyrighted and legal private property of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;and those who are caught copying anything within these pages illegally would be fined up&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;$5ooo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;in bloody cash and have all their&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;cheese&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;taken by the those people crazy about cheese. I think these rights are starting to get a bit long, should&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;stop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt; now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Starting, tuning, listening. No wait...reading&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Billboard Post™&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the first edition of the &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Billboard Post™ Show&lt;/span&gt; where people tune in to. This is my first apearance in this upcoming series by the people at &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Billboard Post™United&lt;/span&gt;. Actually, its just me. Might as well, the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;show must go on...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, the song is a part of a album that's a &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;personal favourite&lt;/span&gt; of mine. I'm quite like a &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;hardrock fan&lt;/span&gt; of this group like for quite some time. Hope you like it, its&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt; Lights And Sounds&lt;/span&gt; by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6774/4119/1600/709057/yellowcard.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;YELLOWCARD &lt;/span&gt;featured in their latest album &lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;Lights And Sounds&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Going for &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;toilet break&lt;/span&gt; now... &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;embed id="radioblog_player_1" src="http://stat.radioblogclub.com/radio.blog/skins/mini/player.swf" width="180" height="23" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" bgcolor="#282828" flashvars="id=1&amp;filepath=http%3A%2F%2Fchristophe.tappret.free.fr%2Fradio.blog%2Fsounds%2FYellowcard%20-%20Lights%20and%20Sounds.rbs&amp;amp;colors=body:#282828;border:#FFFF00;button:#8F8F8F;player_text:#B9B9B9;playlist_text:#666666;new_tracks:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on in the show,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://images.google.com.sg/imgres?imgurl=http://www.drownedinsound.com/images/12454.jpeg&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/594093&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;h=150&amp;w=150&amp;amp;sz=10&amp;hl=en&amp;amp;start=11&amp;tbnid=7XJK-kbcJR7HSM:&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;tbnh=96&amp;tbnw=96&amp;amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Dyellowcard%2Balbum%2Blights%2Band%2Bsounds%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; we have a guest star with us here today. Its &lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL&lt;/span&gt; in the studio. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Conversation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;DC&lt;/span&gt;: "Seems like an honour. Well, I'm &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;ChrisCarraba&lt;/span&gt;. I'm &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;J&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;ohnLefler&lt;/span&gt;. I'm &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;MikeMarsh&lt;/span&gt;. And I'm &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Scott,just Scott&lt;/span&gt;. And we're &lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL&lt;/span&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;lionel&lt;/span&gt;: "Well, heard you people just had your latest album Dusk And Summers released in the late summers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;DC&lt;/span&gt;: "With the release of our forth album Dusk And Summers, it is certainly the most defining album of what has already been a remarkable career; on one end, it's a return to the full band sound of Carrabba's earliest, pre-Dashboard work, and yet also the most forward-thinking and innovative record he's ever recorded."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Carraba&lt;/span&gt;: "When I started Dashboard six years ago, I was reacting to these other bands I had been in," referring to his time in the bands the Vacant Andys and Further Seems Forever."At the time, I needed something...simpler." If those bands were about being loud and filling a room, Carrabba's instinct was to strip it all down and let his voice and his guitar carry the emotions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;lionel&lt;/span&gt;: "So, what do you think of your new single Don't Wait in your new album?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;DC&lt;/span&gt;: "Well, we think that it may be the best song that Carraba has ever written out of all our present albums - over jangly guitars and crashing drums."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;lionel&lt;/span&gt;: "But do you think this album will bring you far?''&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Carraba&lt;/span&gt;: "Haha. Well, I don't really know where Dusk And Summer will bring me but I'll think for the next 5-10 years, I'll still be finding my feet. And I think everything is cyclical. I'll be back to me and a guitar at some point. But people are hopefully embracing what I'm doing now, whatever this thing is, this new ideas. It's still me; I'm just taking a different avenue to get there."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;lionel&lt;/span&gt;: "Right, thank you DC very much for joining us, being our very first guest stars of the Billboard Post™ Show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;DC&lt;/span&gt;: "No, thank you, and its a pleasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;lionel&lt;/span&gt;: "Well, this is their new single Don't Wait from Dusk And Summers.

But overall, I still think its the perfect song for some people &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;who's feeling down&lt;/span&gt; and when the cry babies need a song that &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;matches their mood&lt;/span&gt;

one must &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;love&lt;/span&gt;, or &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;love&lt;/span&gt; to &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;suffer&lt;/span&gt;, or &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;suffer &lt;/span&gt;from too much &lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;happiness&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;I hope you're writing this down &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;genius, isn't it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;lionel...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116618238435530889?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116618238435530889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116618238435530889' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116618238435530889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116618238435530889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2006/12/call-it-whatever-you-want_15.html' title='Call it whatever you Want'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116617724480312772</id><published>2006-12-15T17:34:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-15T18:55:09.700+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Break-Away           from EVERYTHING</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Break-Away from EVERYTHING&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The period which my &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;dilema&lt;/span&gt; had lasted is now relieved. Parents had been pestering since the end of &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;SCHOOL&lt;/span&gt; to go on a holiday to faraway - up till now. &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( Parents asking me for like permisssion, bit weird )&lt;/span&gt; The reason for my persistence of not leaving is most likely the fear of abandoning training. &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;As I have said, up till now...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Just agreed to it yesterday &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( Kind of late to go on a holiday )&lt;/span&gt; so my mother went to somewhere to pay up for the tickets and everything and to confirm our trip there. But just to let you people know, I had been only thinking about it just yesterday, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;in one day...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But, I felt that I should really go on a trip with them any time soon as I kind of &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;rejected&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;their plans&lt;/span&gt; for a holiday last year &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( PSLE year ).&lt;/span&gt; Coming up with a stupid excuse like :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;" My mood on the holiday would be affected by the exam papers " thinking&lt;/span&gt; that I did very badly&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Just when the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt; year started, I had been really regretting not going with my parents to faraway...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So this year is an exception, made up my idiotic mind to go on a holiday with them to &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;HONG KONG&lt;/span&gt; starting on the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;27-31&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;December&lt;/span&gt;, right after &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Christmas&lt;/span&gt;. You people must be wondering why the trip is so late, almost touching into the new year&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; 2007&lt;/span&gt;, thats because of my persistence of not leaving so that has caused most holiday getaways to be fully booked.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, this is what is left, &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;HONG KONG&lt;/span&gt;, besides &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;earthquake&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;terrorist proned countries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But really, I tried telling my parents that period which I am away is the period where &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Ms Teo&lt;/span&gt; said that was the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;most crucial&lt;/span&gt;, prior to our intensive training to prepare for &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;EAST ZONE&lt;/span&gt; tournament next year January. But the bloody tickets were already booked. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So actually, the idiot is still in a dumb &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;dilema&lt;/span&gt;. But have not told anyone besides my parents about this holiday thing cause it seemed very troublesome to tell my friends so I'll just leave it here on the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;most popular website&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;SINGAPORE&lt;/span&gt; so that everyone could and would read it...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;talk to me nicely, you wouldn't want to get hurt would you&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116617724480312772?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116617724480312772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116617724480312772' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116617724480312772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116617724480312772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2006/12/break-away-from-everything.html' title='Break-Away           from EVERYTHING'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116600924558614472</id><published>2006-12-13T19:14:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-13T19:27:25.596+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dragging my feet home</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"&gt;Dragging my feet home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Sigh...Another tiring day for all of us.&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt; Mr Yak Zheng Qiang&lt;/span&gt; had arranged for all of us to meet at &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;TAMPINES SWIMMING COMPLEX&lt;/span&gt; and to of course, swim. But it's also part of training, don't know what reason for exactly but it was quite enjoyable besides &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;the laps and the relay&lt;/span&gt;. Just to let you know, the enjoyable part was when we were allowed&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt; to go and do whatever we want &lt;/span&gt;in the pool like the slides whatsoever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Then, returned to sch right after to play a few matches and sort of practise until we were released for lunch but &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;could not eat much&lt;/span&gt;...Just super tired, cannot chew &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( stupid reason )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Later, we had training again in the outdoor court then until a certain time and we went up to the hall to play against the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;B Girls&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;At that moment, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;completely no strength&lt;/span&gt;... after the swimming and the training. But still we &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;managed to win &lt;/span&gt;against them although we were &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;very tired and did not play our best&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Well, still training hard in order to improve my skills in the sport, like always&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;lionel...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116600924558614472?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116600924558614472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116600924558614472' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116600924558614472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116600924558614472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2006/12/dragging-my-feet-home.html' title='Dragging my feet home'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116564907312360994</id><published>2006-12-09T14:58:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-13T19:02:03.950+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Five Days are Finally Over</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, if any of you people have read my blog before and have read this post with the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;same title&lt;/span&gt;... you people would notice that I have made slight changes in this particular post so it would sound &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;less offending&lt;/span&gt; to some..

Felt king of weak and tired when I reached home so I did take a little nap. Anyway, did not really like it or dislike it but lately I have been going to other people's blog and seeing their latest post about the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;NAVTEEN CAMP&lt;/span&gt; thing and I have found out that just about &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;EVERYONE&lt;/span&gt; of my friends did post that they &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;did enjoy&lt;/span&gt; the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;NAVTEEN CAMP&lt;/span&gt; thing and saying things like...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;" I want to go there again!!!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;" I miss my darling friends!!!"...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;and other stuff which I can't recall...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But just to let you people know...not like I hate the camp, but I'm just very confused about why the rest of my friends enjoyed the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;NAVTEEN CAMP&lt;/span&gt; thing and I didn't exactly &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;feel anything&lt;/span&gt; for it when we were released. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Did I miss out the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;FUN&lt;/span&gt; parts that other people other than myself got to experience? &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( Don't have to answer, just a piece of infomation )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Like what most of my friends have said, there is a slight possibility that I did not talk to anybody enough and that lead to me not having &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;FUN &lt;/span&gt;or something.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( My favourite word )&lt;/span&gt; , here's what the most popular thing on everybody's post that was about the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;NAVTEEN CAMP&lt;/span&gt; thing that so called made their day(s) possible.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;THE CREDITS&lt;/span&gt; please...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;The Candidates&lt;/span&gt; :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chin Soon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Li Jin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kevin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Daron&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mei Shan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ivan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See Guan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cheng Xiang&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wan Ting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Huan Wei&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff6600;"&gt;Charles Chin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lionel ( love this guy, he rocks )&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Advisors :&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maggaret&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;King San&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kwok Sern&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;and of course&lt;/span&gt;, Christine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, this is what I have to say to wrap the whole &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;NAVTEEN CAMP&lt;/span&gt; thing up and......&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;right, I dedicated this post to the people that made the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;NAVTEEN CAMP&lt;/span&gt; thing possible.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;THE CREDITS&lt;/span&gt; please....&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;haha, no &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;lah&lt;/span&gt; ( fifth singlish attempt ),&lt;/span&gt; you think I that &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;siao ahh?

Let's cross out another month on our &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;youth chart&lt;/span&gt; and then see how much of our &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;youth&lt;/span&gt; we have left...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, let's just make everything right until the next unfaithful year when everything becomes &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;chaotic&lt;/span&gt; again. Just great, when it seems that the tournament is over and that it is the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;season of resting&lt;/span&gt;, here comes the training again. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, going for the&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; NAVTEEN&lt;/span&gt; camp thing next week on Monday, thought it was &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;compulsory&lt;/span&gt; as Ms Teo said it but what I didn't know that is if you are going on a holiday that week, you're &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;excused&lt;/span&gt;... arghh&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Just my luck, already paid the deposit of my poor &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;$20&lt;/span&gt; and just before that week my parents asked me if I wanted to go on a holiday during the week of the camp and I said &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;NO&lt;/span&gt; cause I though that that camp was &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;compulsory&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, hope that the camp would be fun, or not I just wasted my poor money.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;going out to eat now, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116497225857066794?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116497225857066794/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116497225857066794' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116497225857066794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116497225857066794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2006/12/first-post-of-month.html' title='First post of the month'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116479675461286834</id><published>2006-11-29T18:03:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-30T20:43:00.686+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bathing in the glory?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bathing in the glory?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We won the whole tournament, coming in first and forth in the placing- &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Raven&lt;/span&gt; 1st, &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;XINMIN SEC&lt;/span&gt; 2nd, &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;SHUQUN SEC&lt;/span&gt; 3rd and &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kingbird&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 4th.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We played against &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;SHUQUN SEC&lt;/span&gt; today for the 3rd and 4th placing but lost to them in both sets, &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;2-0&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;During the first set we were very far apart from &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;SHUQUN SEC&lt;/span&gt; but during the second set we pulled quite close to beating them but didn't due to some of our own mistakes. I certainly feel that I have done my best today, giving the team moral support and now I don't mind if nobody hears me shout because if I know I myself had shout, that's good enough...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But I didn't feel that we gave&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; SHUQUN SEC&lt;/span&gt; a fight&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt; worthwhile&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ff6600;"&gt;And like I said, due to some of our own should not have been done kind of mistakes...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Anyway, both teams got &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;trophies&lt;/span&gt; and medals, gleaming &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;gold&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;bronze &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;and &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;a well-deserved rest&lt;/span&gt; tommorrow, on Thursday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Well, we would be going to &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;PIZZA HUT&lt;/span&gt; on Friday for the treated lunch from Ms Teo to sort of celebrate our &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;victory&lt;/span&gt; by stuffing ourselves with flat bread and with various toppings that go with it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;it's all over, resting &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;lionel...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36789325-116479675461286834?l=lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/feeds/116479675461286834/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36789325&amp;postID=116479675461286834' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116479675461286834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36789325/posts/default/116479675461286834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lionel-rocks-your-world.blogspot.com/2006/11/bathing-in-glory.html' title='Bathing in the glory?'/><author><name>Lionel Khoo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01914235670549457870</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789325.post-116471099775927187</id><published>2006-11-28T18:24:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-28T18:57:54.680+08:00</updated><title type='text'>One small step for lionel, a giant leap for mankind</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One small step for lionel, a giant leap for mankind&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another post today, our team put up an excellent fight with &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;XINMIN SEC&lt;/span&gt; today during the &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;TOP4&lt;/span&gt;. Although we lost the first set to the giants, we chionged like mad ahhh &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( second singlish attempt )&lt;/span&gt; during the second set. The whole team was in high spirits..cheering and encouraging one another. We played until &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;30-28&lt;/span&gt;..lost..Can you believe it?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;WE&lt;/span&gt;, against those h*ck of a giants, catched up until this state... shiok ahh &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( third singlish attempt )&lt;/span&gt;.

I didn't think that we gave our best during that game &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;( from my point of view )&lt;/span&gt; , but instead we lost.. due to the miserable and shouldn't have been done kind of mistakes. So because of the lost of the match against &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;HONG KAH PRI&lt;/span&gt;, we were not secured the entrance into the the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;TOP4&lt;/span&gt; and this is where the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;SUDDEN DEATH&lt;/span&gt; match comes in...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is something to be glad about... We beaten &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;CATHOLIC HIGH SCH&lt;/span&gt; today.&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;2-0&lt;/span&gt;. Therefore gainimg a seat in the &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;TOP4&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;placing. But I think that we won because the people on the other side were nervous and you could say.. scared of us.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Another thing, maybe and just maybe, the other teams that we played against were feeling something like this and so that's why I think the opposing teams could play much, much better without the fear.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But I also think that the opposing teams had no &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;VALID&lt;/span&gt; reason for them to fear us...

today, 2-1. I didn't think we gave them a good fight...lost the second round to them, 26-24. Although we &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;trashed&lt;/span&gt; them the first round.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ain't the world a sad place to be in..?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But we got back to winning the game in the third round. Its quite ironic that when we shout and encourage one another at the top of our lungs and no one would even take notice, and they would say they didn't hear us shout... &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I could even hear my voice in the video recording in the video cam in the background..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Crystal clear&lt;/span&gt;..&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But what seemed our best outside spiker became nervous and upset that he could not spike properly. It wasn't a big deal if one became nervous, but he took it hard...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But I feel like my skills needs improvement but Ms Teo commented the rest of the outside spikers except me and I myself don't know what I should do to improve...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Is this really the best I could be?
