I Couldn't Foresee That.

it's been yet quite a while again.

regarding the previous post, it probably wasn't what you guys think it is.
it almost got me and my two other friends into real deep shit.
and it has something to do with the relevant authorities, in the form of the POLICE.
godamnit.

as you guys already know, ARSENAL's season ended on wednesday's morning. (6thmay)
i ****-ing hate to admit this, but arsenal was really beaten soundly by manchester united.
First Leg : MANU 1-0 ARS
Second Leg : ARS 1-3 MANU
but there's always the rest of the premier league matches to look forward to.
including titanic clashes with Man United (NOT AGAIN!) and Chelsea.
as mouth-watering the matches will sound, arsenal do not have anything to play for except for third place.
i will be watching the final, fret not.

on academic stuff, school's taking a toll on me.
reaching home jaded and worn out appears to be the routine almost everyday.
in RP, you are graded everyday. (with A, B, C, D, F)
you are judged based on your participation in class and your Reflection Journal (RJ).
contributing key ideas in class, presenting to the class and faciliator confidently and having a really good RJ puts you pretty much in for a big, big A.
remaining withdrawn and quiet in class and presenting a shitty RJ to the faciliator would confine you to a not-so-good C or maybe even a D.
F would be reserved for those serious offences.
RJ is written after lessons everyday and is almost similar to writing an english composition.
as a result, it zaps the brain juice out of me, making me discouraged for a blog update.
so don't expect me to produce a blog update out of nowhere during a weekday. (except for fridays)

I got into the table tennis team in RP too.
passed the trials with considerable ease, i would say.
still awaiting the trials for the soccer team in RP.
sad thing is that they are focusing on stamina, skills are secondary.
need a good few runs over the next few days.
and OF COURSE, if i get into the soccer team, i would quit table tennis.
as only one competitive sport CCA is allowed for one person.
table tennis is only kinda used as a backup, just in case my soccer dreams were to falter.
will be awaiting 15-16 May; dates of the trials.

i put down a million bucks for an 'Adam Lambert - Danny Gokey' final.
hahahahaha.

currently listening to: Kristy, Are You Doing OK? by The Offspring.

You Wouldn't Get This.

and this story goes like this ...

we were FALSELY ACCUSED.

that's about it.
and i don't want any more trouble.
''stay AWAY from her!'' i would say.
*shivers with fear*

The Big Five-Zero.

Okay, allow me to wrap up this week in a short and sweet post.

Liverpool 4-4 Arsenal was a 'INCREDIBLE' game.
Arshavin scored all 4 goals for arsenal.
shan't say more. =D

life in RP seems to be comparable to a roller-coaster ride.
some days were just pure fun & enjoyment while the others were really dry and mundane.
loved 'science' & 'enterprise' but 'mathematics', 'problem solving' and 'communication practice' were pretty much, a bore.

back to IAN's question.
problem-based learning is about having a problem a day.
and you have to solve it within the day in groups of fives.
at the end of the day, you have to come up with a presentation with your group to show the class your answers.
after all groups have presented, the faciliator reveals the answers at the end of the day.
and there is like, presentations EVERYDAY for 3 years.
most of the work in RP are done in groups instead of individually and there is basically no homework.
feel free to ask more questions if the need arises. (:

having a 'field soccer match' tmr.
Kallangroar FC vs BBDC.
totally short of stamina nowadays due to the always hectic poly life.
8.30am to 3.30pm every single day.
had no chance whatsoever for a workout.
and everytime i head home from school, i would be REALLY jaded.
SO! playing as a striker tmr, one of the rare moments.
cus usually i would play as a left winger. so excited! hehe.
time/place is 5pm at dunearn sec.

okay maybe this post wasn't short and sweet but who gives a damn really.
HAHA.

as the title says, the picture above says it all.
and the thing is, it actually happened right below my house.
how dumb can one actually be, i wonder.

and i'm still trying to get used to RP's learning style.
if you do not already know, RP uses a method called 'Problem-Based Learning' (PBL) for all of its students.

Brand New Start.

RP's orientation programme was a enjoyable experience.
held from the 15th to the 17th.
my school, which is the School of Sports, Health and Leisure (SHL), got 2nd for the Principal's Cup challenge.
School of Applied Science had the honour of coming in in 1st place while School of Hospitality held 3rd place.
other schools with no placing were School of Engineering, School of Technology for the Arts, Centre for Culture & Communication, School of Information and Communications Technology.

for those who don't know, my course's the Diploma in Sports & Exercise Sciences.
only RP has this course by the way, out of all the polys in singapore.
so if you're interested in this course, come to RP! (:

SHL! ah-woo!
SHL! ah-woo!
SHL! AH-WOO! AH-WOO! AH-WOO!
*loud cheers & applause*

P.S. school's starting officially on monday.

Long Road Ahead.

praises just aren't enough for arsenal's captain cesc fabregas.
a delightful perfectly weighted chip-pass for adebayor to chest and execute the bicycle kick.
it was really, breathtaking.
credits to both of these players. (:
match ended 1-1 with a crucial away goal, definitely beneficial for arsenal.

had those regular badminton sessions over the past several days.
with people like arron, clement, xinghan, ian, linus, joshua.
with mildred and cuitian also sporting enough for one badminton session.
you people deserve a mention on my blog since you guys were enthusiastic enough to attend.
ok whatever, LOL.

just recently, smoking has caused a revolution amongst my clique of friends.
compare it with the Russian Revolution except that you minus the sufferings and deaths of those poor people. (if there ever is)
SMOKING, tsk tsk tsk.

GET THE LOWDOWN ON SMOKING.

definintion:- Smoking is a practice where a substance, most commonly tobacco, is burned and the smoke tasted or inhaled.

1) Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal.
So, ONCE YOU START, IT'S HARD TO STOP.

2)People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That's why people say it's just so much easier to not start smoking at all. <-- keyphrase.

3) -Temporary Effects: Wrinkles and Yellow Teeth, Lost Bone Density(Osteoporosis) , Affected Lung Power, Fertility Problems, Bad Skin, Bad Breath, Bad Smelling Hair & Clothes, Reduced Athletic Performance, Greater Risk Of Injury & Slower Healing Time, Weaker Immune System.
( if you do ever smoke, why not check if you have these problems?)

-Permanent Effects: Heart Disease, Stroke, Emphysema, Lung Cancer, Throat Cancer, Stomach Cancer, Bladder Cancer.

to all the smoker friends i have, i hope you all die of the mentioned diseases above.
and one more thing,
screw you allllll.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

P.S. - I made the part up on the russian revolution as i have absolutely no idea on what it is. :x
P.S.S - All claims are backed up by this --> http://kidshealth.org/teen/drug_alcohol/tobacco/smoking.html

i hope this post deters you all from ever lighting up again.
thank you very much and have a great day ahead.

Seemingly Promising.

yesterday's party wasn't the most enjoyable experience.
reason was the lack of activities we could entertain ourselves with.
maybe we should just stick to the conventional soccer gatherings, alright friend?
that'd be great man.

arsenal beat manchester city 2-0 just last night.
and starhub's channel 27 couldn't air the first half of the match yesterday ''due to reasons beyond their control''.
like what the heck? we paid so much money a month just to get this kinda ''service''.
it's not even the first time this problem arised.
i could view the first half on sopcast so why not on tv?
crappers.
and cesc fabregas made his much-awaited comeback from a 3month-layoff with 2 assists.
how great is that? you guys can clearly see the impact he made once he's back in the scene with arsenal.

and i still carry no intention to do a revamp on my blog's background even though it's damn plain.
call me lazy and i wouldn't care less.
