it's been a week since i last blogged. quite a lot of things happened actually...
Mum went back again, and this time is for 1 entire month. and i think i have enough home-alone experiences, so it is quite ok :)
Network EXCO interview --> a screw up, but nvm :)
3-on-3 basketball competition on fri and sat --> could only get into the top 8 teams (actually quite unlucky, some teams that we played against just shot extremely well when they were playing against us ONLY, so it's like every time they made some shots, they could always score. so tyco... ) but nvm, i have won myself a set of bball jersey through lucky draw :)
Primary school outing... lol, after 5 years, we finally have one primary school outing, which was like quite amazing! haha, we promised ourselves to meet once every 5 years, didn't we? anw, the gathering was quite fun, before i reached there, some already had bowling and lunch, then we went pool, dinner, swensens and lots of talks :)
just finished a 3-day financial literacy workshop in SMU today. It was actually very enjoyable i must say. Overall, it was pretty slack, but then the things i've learnt, the smu campus experiences that i have roughly gone through and the friendship that i have made, made me feel quite reluctant to end this workshop. but then all good things come to and end, so it is ok... and i still have many opportunities to work with them (the smu undergrads cum facilitators in the near future) :)
so 3-day workshop has ended, which means that i have like 2 more days to finish my history term paper from scratch. haiz... :(
and i still have damn a lot of stuff to mug, to catch up for whatever that i have missed over the past 5 months... and then still have to prepare for Blocks... :(
how i wish i could do the things that i want and enjoy ONLY...

GIC talk on wednesday, SAGE this morning. They have exposed so many weaknesses of myself, revealed so many things that i lack. so in conclusion, i still have so many things to work on, in terms of character, personality, capability and the ability to survive (not even to excel) in this competitive, pragmatic, taxing, demanding, changing-at-the-speed-of-light society...
good luck to me

i realised that i have been living my life for my parents and teachers (in some sense), and of course, my wife, children and future family. What is the purpose of Mankind? to continue the survival of human species for as long as possible, maybe? since it is a collective goal, why are there still so many people advocating to work for ourselves, our future and lead our own life?
if not for my parents, teachers, wife, children and family, i would not have become what i am now and what i would have become in the future... so it is a good or bad thing?

i could still remember very vividly what i had said when i first made my self-introduction to my classmates in Sec 1. As our form teacher was the "famous" Wang wanyi, our Chinese teacher, we had to introduce ourselves in chinese. Here it went: 我是冼智彬, 来自史丹福小学,我的爱好是望着窗外发呆。somehow, the class laughed at my last comment, i was half-puzzled and half-amused...
then today, just i was about to shower and walked past this particular windy window, i couldn't resist myself but to lean against myself against the window and enjoy the night scene with the sooting breeze... it just felt so good to look out of the window, while you are listening to Secret Garden, stare into the night, lost in deep contemplation about some random stuff, and enjoy the breeze at the same time. last but not least, feel your body getting relaxed......
i really did not want to end such an enjoyable moment, but as i had to bathe and do my history presentation, i had to reluctantly leave that pleasurable place. what a sad thing.
so this is the song(violin version): 梁山伯与祝英台 （Butterfly Lovers):

new revelation
21:41
Had a new revelation this morning, mainly triggerred by Mrs Tham Bengbeng's blast early in the morning before flag raising and my chem test.
i haven't been enjoying school since the end of Orientation.
There are mainly two reasons for it.
One is ... (which is not convenient to reveal here).
The other one (which i finally realised today) is that failures make my school day suck.
Only if my school is flooded with As, i think i would have been a lot happier.
So...

what a fast runner!

haiz.. its chem lecture test tomorrow, think i am going to gg again... just as i have no more mood for revision, i came acorss this most interesting video that i have ever seen in youtube. Seriously, i think it is one of the most hilarious videos i have seen so far. However, it is only suitable for matured teenagers, for those innocent souls, please don't try clicking it, you will definitely REGRET!!!
so here is the video:
"The Fastest Man In The World!"
bet you have watched it several times before reading this message. LOL. i watched it 3 times before i really understood the underlying message of the video, it is really damn funny...
please don't think that i am perverted or whatsoever hor, i didn't purposely search for these kind of videos on youtube. let me share with you how i came across this:
1. reading some online info about Chris Paul, my current basketball idol
2. clicked on a youtube link about a Guinnese World Record set by him (which is a fake one)
3. then clicked on a link which shows a Guinnese world record for a rapper rapping out 849 syllables in 60 secs
4. then clicked on "The Best Guinnese World Record" on the side links
5. then clicked on a video featuring Powell's world record 100m run at 9.77 in 2005
6. then clicked on another video featuring Powell (again) on his current record 100m run at 9.74
7. then finally clicked on the very intersting video above...
so it was just a pure coincidence for me to come across this video, don't think that i am dirty-minded and search for these kind of video.
i think only japanese have the creativity to come up with this kind of stupid videos...
