Today is AQ. The Ultimate Competition that will test your limits.
Well, my team actually did quite well, we got 10th position out of 60 teams in leg 1. It was actually a small miracle as we were inexperienced and not familiar with usage of the map and compass but somehow or others, we managed to overtake a lot of teams and emerged 10th.
Actually, we could got at least 7th but because of some unclear information by the BB officers, we were a bit lost at the beginning. Thanks goodness we managed to catch up.
We were the first team to reach the finishing point among the three relay teams, and soon it was followed by Leg 3 then Leg 2. Though we could not got among the top 10 in the relay legs altogether, but i thought we performed all to our best already.
After the hype on our relay results, we had to wait for the Boys team. We then played card games and after a few hours, when we ( particularly me) getting cranky, they arrived but unfortunately, it was due to a heavy rain. The BB AQ organization had to cut short the AQ and our Boys team had to forfeit the race which was very sad cuz they were among the top 20.
Then, we wasted 2 whole hours on listening to boring speeches and watching some lame slide shows that would probably impressed a 3 years old kid and just when i am going to fall asleep, it was time to go home. The prize-giving ceremony was practically nothing to do with us as we never won anything but still, it was a sign of respect.... I almost wanna kill the organizer for wasting our precious time on crap stuffs.
Ok, i am very tired liao. Shall not post further.

Hola everyone.
Today is a boring day for me. Boring lessons make me almost want to sleep, not to mention about the rainy weather and the only highlight today is that i pon diao assembly.
Eugene and Amanda go to do dental and due to my competition at Saturday, i have to change my appointment. So i have to wait for around 45 mins then i see Eugene and Amanda coming out with a " Damm pain sia" face. I then change my mind and decided to pon diao the dental appointment and me, Eugene and Amanda discuss about games while watching the Secs 1 playing Chinese chess.
I have been conserving my energy for this Saturday AQ competition. I am in the first leg of the " 3 legs relay team" , and first leg is the most tiring of all. So i never eat even a meal of fast food and mostly slack around to prepare for the competition. This competition to say the truth serves nothing good except make my muscles aches but then, they must have me or else how to win?? Hahaha.......
Ok, gonna end it here. Remember to wish me good luck for the competition, if tyco really win, i treat the whole class to a meal.

I am damm pissed today.
Cuz, i had spent around $17 just to attend a useless course that taught me things that are deemed useless.
First, i have to cough out $15 for the course itself. The course is a Firefighting course, that is pretty amazing huh?
Ok, the first 1-2 hours of the presentation is funny and quite interesting but nonetheless, i can spend my time better elsewhere, such as investing them on my homework. So while the presenter keeps talking craps, i amused myself by having a sarcasm conversation with Jonathan.
After surviving the first round, we go for lunch. So $17-$15=$2. The $2 goes to our lunch. So of course i am not expecting five stars meal, i at least expect a decent one but no, they give us a plate of rice with veggies and fish.
Wonderful, i almost burst into tears, seeing the delicacy. Of course, that is accompanied by a urge to demand for a refund and buy a packet of chips and M&M for my lunch. At least that is energy-filling, furthermore we have to settle for our own drinks. So i tuck into my lunch with distaste and somehow manage to finish it.
With the food traveling down my esophagus, i buy a cup of drink to force food down. So with stomach full, it is time for ROUND 2. Dang!!!!!!!
The 2nd round of presentation is more boring. I am struggling to prevent the shutting down of my sight department and finally, they say it is the time for the practical test. Yippee...
We go to an open space of land and they ask us to try to use a fire-extinguisher to extinguish a fire. Fancy that, they command around 100+ people ( There are other people beside us, the BB) to come down and only 5 people have the luck or misfortune to try it. I cursed when i am sitting there, doing nothing but seeing other people extinguishing the same goddamn fire.
Finally, after a written test which demand only common sense to pass it, we are dismissed.
I almost cried with joys, seeing the result of my money and time giving me frustration and anger.
Me and Jonathan then go to Causeway point and the rich guy goes and buys his expensive headphone while i spend a paltry $10 on a comic and a Mcdonald meal. Satisfied, we then go home.
Ok, type finish already.

Today is a very tired day for me.
First, i have to drag my very reluctant body to my AQ ( Adventure Quest) training. When i reach school at 8.30, i am not surprised to see very few people coming to the training. When the clock read 9'o clock, most of the members, notably Jonathan Lim manage to somehow reach the training O.N T.I.M.E.
Omg, I almost popped my eyes out, i mean it is just so unbelievable. Jonathan Lim not late, it is amazing. Anyway, we have to do a navigation course as a stimulation for our AQ competition and me, Joshua, Jonathan and Daniel are a team.
So, we set out to the checkpoints with confidence and enthusiasm almost bursting out of our chests. But after around 10 minutes, I am very frustrated and tired. I muttered curses under my breath while looking for the stupid checkpoint.
(Let's fast forward the time. If i continue on, i will have vulgarities in the post.)
After completing the course, me and Jonathan went to Causeway points as he wanted to look for a sling bag. We ate our lunch from good 'ole Long John Silver and both of us searched for the holy grail a.k.a sling bag. We found some good looking bags but as he had a tight budget of a undisclosed amount, we had to throw them out of our minds. After some browsing, he then said that he wanted to go Westmall to check out some more bags as the bags here were so expensive.
I almost split his head apart. Spending so much time.... Anyway, we went to Comic Connection and i bought Suzuka episode 14 ( Yay, finally for so long) and Black Cat. With all these comics, i beamed with delight and finally, we went home.
The March holidays have started, can relax leh. Those who thinks like that are either idiots or those that want to have punches on their eyes a.k.a Qian Bian. Homeworks from English and Chines, not to mentioned Edmund Ng Maths Worksheet. Damm stressed sia, teachers are relaxing around while torturing students in the name of " I want you all to get good results so this is for your own good." They are crazy and loony and _______ (Fill in your own words).
Cheerios.

I not gonna post about my story for today as I have no inspiration.
Anyway, I am damm angry today. My A and E maths should have score A1 but because of some stupid, silly mistakes, i blow my A1 away and welcome B and C.
I keep cursing after seeing my papers and after browsing through my mistakes, I almost wanna kill somebody cuz of careless mistakes. Sigh... Cant blame other people but only myself.
Today is boring, except seeing my BB captain JT taking over my class as a relief teacher, nothing interesting happen. Sarcastic remarks exchange between Mr Ng and me, playing football and listening to Eugene saying how handsome, how clever and how cool is he, It is the same routine practically everyday.
Somehow, i think i am cursed. Almost everyday after school, i will see Chrysan, Sabrina and of all the people, Yi Ning at Mcdonald. As you all know about the horror about Yi Ning, i shall not elaborate on her. She really disgraces 3/12, dancing the Hi5 love dance. I mean, looking at her body mass and fats, i am really surprise she can even dance. Yi Ning dance can makes you puke and laugh at the same time.
Sigh... Why people have no sense of shame. Can't dance means can't dance, still want to act like as though she is a international ballet dancer. She can do a commercial, you know.
XXXX Ballet Class.
Before ( Put Yi Ning Pic)-------->After(Some Pro kia dancer pic).
Sure attract a lot of people, a very effective tactic to say the truth. Though when people see her pic already almost die of laughter.
Okie, say enough. Next time will post.

Hello everyone. This is my 3rd chapter of my story. Pls freely comment on it.
A scout shout break Syaroan thought. “My lord, a Kali squadron is nearing our frontier.”
King Edmund stops his argument with Holland and immediately tells Syaroan and Renton to prepare for battle and tells them to lead the men for the battle against the Kali.
He turns toward Holland and says, “If you want to join us for the battle, we will be more than welcome.”
Holland grins and says that he is more than ready for the battle. King Edmund tells Sakura and Eureka to stay behind and protect the base from any attack. He, with Syaroan, Renton and Holland, then runs out of the tent and prepares for the battle.
Around 100 soldiers are assembled and with King Edmund at the helm, they march to the frontier. When they stop at their frontier, they saw Goliaths, Siege tanks, Marines and Wraiths and many more units. A marine steps forward and shouts using their amplifier sound system install in their battle suits. “ I am General Ark and I am here asking you all to lay down your arms and surrender to the mighty Kali empire. Resist and you shall fall.”
King Edmund chuckles and using his magic to increase his voice level, ”Yeah right. If you think we will surrender to… aah… mighty Kali empire, dream on. Now, better retreat or it will be us making threats.”
General Ark stares with vindictive rage at King Edmund and says back, “If that is your answer, this will be our reply.”
All the Goliaths launch their rockets and blast at the walls. The Siege tanks and Wraiths fire their photon turret guns and cannons at the walls. The marines fire their machine guns and aim at the Vanir armies. Suddenly, all the attacks are repelled and hit back to the Kali army instead.
Renton hands glow with azure lights and with a wave of his hand, all the attacks are repelled. He smiles and blasts of ice rain on the Kali squadron. The units are in disarray and Renton mutters the spell, Frost Nova which destroy most of the mechanical units and marines.
Syaroan draws out his blade, huoyan, and dashes towards the army. Within a few minutes, the Goliaths, Siege tanks and the other mechanical units are all but gone. Syaroan eyes glow red and his slashes have a crimson streak with it. The Vanir soldiers quickly rush to the battlefield and making a short work of the Marines. Despite putting up a valiant fight, the magic blade wield by the Vanir soldiers are too strong for the Marines protoss blades and machine guns and soon, the battle is over.
General Ark turns white after seeing his squadron being slaughtered. Holland suddenly appears in front of him and says smilingly,” General Ark, draws your weapon and fight like a man.” General Ark glares at Holland and he draws his double protoss blades and positioning himself in a fighting stance.
“I am ready.”
----In the Kali research centre.----
Dominic mood has not improved, especially by talking the Professor Ditt. Prof. Ditt is one of the most prominent scientist in Kali and unfortunately, the fame has increase the annoyance of Ditt and the decrease of respect.
Ditt has refuse to help Dominic to scan the dagger and the photon gun for suspicious sign and despite many threats by Dominic, Ditt remains obstinate as ever and continues his stands.
“No can do, Dom. No means no, unless you do not know the universal meaning of the word, ’no’. “
“Hey, you better help me or else you will lose some height, not that you have anymore to spare.”
“I don’t think that is the way to ask a person to help you, not especially insulting a person height.”
“Come on Ditt. Get over with your shortness. If you are short then you are short. Anyway, unless you are 3 feet tall…”
“3 foot 2, for your information. As I say, I cannot agree with your request. You do not have the official permission. I am sorry but I can’t help you.”
“Oh… 3foot 2.Forgive me for not quaking on my boots. I have save your butt a lot of time and this is how you repay me. Wonderful, I should have not save you during the LAB 1 incident. Not to forget the ….”
Ditt winced. Dom has hit his Achilles’ Heel. “Ouch. Ok ok. You do not have to remind me of that incident. I will help you, happy? For my effort, not to mention bravery, I want a reward. The Phonetix height-spurt lotion will do fine.”
Dominic grins.” Okie Dokie. You are such a sweetheart, Ditt. I buy for you a carton of the lotions if you can do the job for me.”
Ditt says,” Well, I can complete the job within 1 week. So have a nice time waiting.”
Dominic frowns,” Can’t you hurry up the process. Unlike you, I do not have the luxury of waiting around, doing nothing.”
Ditts replies with a wink,” Then forget all about it. I really doubt you can find someone better and faster than me. Elementary, you know. I am such an unappreciated genius.”
Dom grits his teeth and managed to grind out,” Well, you better work your butt out or else you are going to have your budget slashes and trust me, you will not like it.”
Ditt gulps and immediately says,” Yes sir.”
Dom sighs and smiles. He always loves arguing with Ditt and winning him. Now, he has to wait for the result.
To be continues….
P.s The marines are the foot soldier for the Kali. Just for your information.

Hello everyone, this is the second chapter of my story. Please comment on it.
Holland smiles at him and says, ’heh, no need for being so formal. Now, I am your comrades, just like the other people.” Syaroan blinks his eyes foolishly and he cannot believe he is actually meeting Holland, the great hero. King Edmund Ng looks amused and says with his rough voice,’ Holland, you are making Syaroan wetting his pants you know? I know you are charming and handsome and all but please, don’t embarrass my friend eh?” A ripple of laughter coursed the group of people and Syaroan blushes, something he has not done ever since he touches Sakura hand for the first time. Sakura laughs and looks at Syaroan with a look that will melts his heart instantly. Renton and Eureka just looks with amusement, a smile etched on their face. For a while, Syaroan forgets he is in a middle of a war.
In the Pub in Kalindor
Dominic is disgusted and angry at the Council decision to attack Valinor. The Vanir has done nothing wrong, just that they weld magic only. The Council ignores Dominic protest and attack Valinor, killing thousands of people and destroying a country which has flourishes and prospers much. The weapons they utilize have catch the Vanir by surprise and even though they suffer losses by the magical assault, they still triumphed over them. Dominic have visits Valinor before and is amazed by their magic. Becauses of them, the Nature beauty is always preserved by them and not being devastates by the Kali. He shakes his head and laments the losses of Valinor and the Vanir. But recently, he has heard that the Vanir has survived and are located in Azeroth, another country that weld magic. And now, they have declared war on the Kali. There are short skirmish between the Vanir and Kali and most of the time, the Vanir are the victors. He has heard that the Vanir are lead by a guy call Syaroan and because the survivors talk of him unleashing devasting flame on them, even their fireproof armours are practically paper to the fire attacks. Dominic sighs and go back to his home.
While Dominic is walking back home, suddenly a black figure jumps on him. Dominic dodges the stranger and the stranger draws out two daggers of the Vanir emblem. Dominic curses and unleash his two protoss blades from his hands. The stranger looks surprised and then grinning, he dashes towards him and slashes at him. Dominic easily parry the blow and quickly slashes back with such shocking speed and strength that the stranger practically fly back. The stranger grin disappears and he mutter something under his breath. Dominic feels a numbing sensation coursing through his body and despite his best effort, he slumps to the ground without any strength or energy left in his body. The stranger walks towards him slowly and with a savage grin, he draws out a photon gun and aims at him. Dominic can only stares helplessly at the stranger and suddenly a brainwave hits him. The spell is fading and he is starting to recover his strength. Quickly, he flicks his blades at the stranger and the blades fly towards the stranger, piercing his face and chest. The stranger howls in pain and he drops his gun to the ground. Dominic somehow manages to crawl towards the gun and fire with precision at the stranger. The stranger eyes widen and he crumpled to the ground.
Dominic manages to recover enough strength to stand and retrieves his blades out. He searches the stranger body for clues to the stranger identity but he finds nothing. Dominic grabs the daggers of the Vanir emblem and the photon gun and examined them. Nothing is unusual about them but Dominic has a feeling it will be the piece of missing piece for the incomplete picture.
“So, what is the situation here”, asks by Holland.
“Well, we have skirmish with the Kali and most of the time, emerges victorious because of Syaroan but we have lose valuable men in the battles. And as you know, we are in a desperate need for men to fight”, reply King Edmund.
“Hmm, ok then. I got a solution to solve your problems but it may not appeal to you”, Holland says.
“Any idea will be welcome.”
“Well, we can search for the Forsaken Ones. The Exile People,” Holland says.
There is an eerie silence. Everybody look at Holland with horror and recoil. King
Edmund says, ”No way. God be dammed if they ever join us. They will betray us, given the chance. And they use magic that defiled the Nature, bending the basic rule of Magic. No, I will not sanction it.”
Holland looks around the room and finds the answer on their face, even Syaroan. He sighs and mutters,” I am so disappointed. I thought that in the face of crisis, you all can put aside the differences and work with them. Seem like I am wrong.”
Syaroan shivers when he recalls the Forsaken Ones. They are a group of people, dedicated to using dark magic and being exiled because of that reason. But Syaroan knows that the real reason is not that. It is…..
The next chapter is coming soon.
