I know i've got a whole lot of work to do, but i really can't be stuffed getting down to writing my Chinese essay -.-" haha! It rained again today, and i enjoyed it again. I love the way God made rain. It brings gloom to the frowners, but joy and refreshment for their seekers.
Today was full of Chemistry. Had to work with this dude named SiYuan on a Concept Map which contributes 10% to my total assessment -.-" I didn't have a choice, Marcus and Harish paired up, and Jin and Phan were working together. So i was left to the randoms. People say that he's a big slacker, but i reckon he did just enough. We've gotta learn to work with many different kinds of people anyway.
Marcus and i went down to Coles to buy some skewers before going to Glen Waverley Library to work on out Propene Model. Yea, we completed it pretty quickly but i started to rain the very moment we stepped outta the library -.-" loL! Marcus got SOOO worried about the model! Fortunately, we managed to get it back to the bus station in one piece, though some parts fell out along the way! haha!
I've gotta long day ahead of me tmr... cool, i feel like starting that Chinese essay now.
Rolling emotions.

Rays of Love
I'm doing a quick post while i'm uploading Rays of Love. I can't believe i haven't put it up on my blog since the time it got published! btw, Rays of Love is the song that i composed last year that was published by my youth group, Fungus. Yea... hope you guys like the song. It's sung by Adora and Joanne. Stanley and Bryan did the music and most of the other work. haha!
The weather can be rather deceiving. The sun was out and shining really brightly early in the morning, but it started pouring rain by 2pm. Well, it was the first time this year that it'd rained while we were playing soccer, but i liked it, ironically. I miss getting drenched in the rain, i miss kicking the ball when it's all slippery and wet, and i miss missing playing soccer. haha! Ironic, but true.
I remember the good old days when we used to play back in Avon Park just around Lobby 7. We would moan and groan whenever the rain prevented us from playing soccer, still the dudes (Troy, Daryl, Justin, Shannon, Junior) and i found other stuff to do, and we enjoyed ourselves. I miss them lots... but every time i go back to Singapore, i find that they are all going through rapid changes in their lives. It's all happening so fast that the dudes i used to play soccer with, joke around and play a fool with, would probably be dating seriously by the next time i go back to Singapore for NS. Hmm... Sentimental. A thought to cherish =)

Ford Factory
Boy! I haven't blogged for quite a while. I've been caught up with work and all, and tonight's the first night in this year that i'm feel on top of my work. haha! I wanna bask in this comfort and joy for as long as it lasts. Each new day brings a new hope, a change in direction, and more work to do -.-"
I went on a Business Management excursion to the Ford Factory up in Upbridge -.-" That's at the end of the Upbridge line, which is Northwest of Melbourne and about 2 hours away from where i live -.-"""
Anyway, i was really surprised at the efficiency of the production lines, the potential and the capabilities of machines. The machines really did most of the work, the human employees were there for maintenance and to put screws into the cars. haha! I've never seen machines used in such a magnitude before. It's just amazing.
The machines looked like gigantic arms that could lift heavy car parts easily and mould them into the required shape almost in an instant. Fact is, a car comes off the production line every 47 seconds. And they get sent to the Painting Centre, which operates 24/7. This means that more than 1 Ford car is produced per minute 24/7 -.-"""" I don't see why cars still cost so much!

Adapting
Adapting.
I guess i'm growing accustomed to being continuously loaded with heavy school work. I still get a little anxious and worried at times, but it doesn't bug me as much now. However, it's really robbing me of my time though.
It's making me treasure every moment i have with my friends, each moment i spend surfing the net and listening to music, every moment of recesss and lunch and every moment of sweet slumber.
That's good to a certain extent, and i just wanna thank God for giving me such great friends and a wonderful family that have been supporting me. Nick helped me organise the fortnightly soccer when i was caught up with work, my dad helps me out with maths tirelessly, and Serene and Ruth are so supportive of me joining the BeatBouncers. The list goes on... but i wanna thank God!
The Pitts Building was closed today, so we were forced to run the 5km X-Country track around the Botanical Gardens instead -.-" It was then that i realised how unfit i was! haha! I could run 4.8km pretty easily back in Singapore, but i couldn't even manage a constant speed for more than a kilometre today!!!! Ahh!!! This is what homework does to you... Seriously.. Shucks! I need to start running more!!!
Oh yea, Tommy, Harish and i had a race to put and end to Harish's claims that he's "so much faster" than i am. Tommy and i accelerated while Harish "slipped" at the start. loL! He sprinted for barely 4 seconds before giving up! haha! Later on, we were about 300m into the 4km track when Tommy and Harish decided they had enough and turned back -.-""" Duc, Leo, Victor, Jimmy, Jack, Phan and i finished the entire course though. It was an achievement! haha! Not really! 4km's nothing really.

Sweet Feet Beat Crazy Legs
The inter-church Futsal comp went awesome yesterday! I was surprised to see so many familiar faces from the other churches. There were about 4 Melbourne High dudes, and 3 people i knew from Chink school.
Well, the first game was against "Bilingual A Team". It started off slow with Nick, Jerusha, Pete, Alvin and myself on the field. It was then that we coped the only goal in the whole knock-out tournament - a glancing header from some really tall dude. haha! The ball was pumped high up from a kick-in and flew straight into the goal. Well, a goal can't be scored from a kick-in. However, this dude claimed that the ball skimmed past his hair, but others said that there was no contact at all.
Fortunately, we dominated the game and wrapped it up with a 4-1 victory, thanks to 2 goals from Nick, 1 from Shaun and 1 from Gab. Then we overcame our fatigue and played for the Netball A Team (who needed A LOT of help!) Nick and i had no clue how to play Netball, so we just defended at the back. haha! We were really effective surprisingly, and the first half ended 0-0. But we were too tired to continue, so we got replaced... what do you know... we lost 4-2 in the end -.-"""
Our next match was against "Linc B team". We completely dominated possession in the first half, putting pressure on the opponents at every opportunity possible; which paid off in a 4-0 score line at half time.
At this point, some players in the "Linc A team" got a little pissed off.. and so they decided to hop on the battlefield. We were really intimidated by the new burst of talent in the team because they had defeated their opponents 7-0 in the last stage. Well, we played just as we did in the first half and scored some awesome strikes and some neat finishes to end the game with a 7-0 scoreline =) lol! Thanks to a brilliant performance from Shuan with 3 goals, I scored 2, Nick scored 1, and Jerusha scored a left-footed drive from halfway.
With that, we made it to the finals. However, we got a little shocked as we sat by the sidelines and watched the other semi-final - Linc A versus Bilingual B. It was obvious that the players from Linc A, who played for their B team against us, were struggling to keep up with the pace of the game. How Foolish! Anyway, there were 5 good players on the field from teams. Not surprisingly, the game ended 2-2 and had to be decided in a shootout. Linc A buried 21 outta 3, while Bilingual B kept a perfect score of 3 outta 3 to make it to the final!!!!
Nick, Quentin and i had done some prior planning and tactical plays, but it all came down to this 20 minute final. The opposition had 3 decent players - Shef (a striker), Crazy Legs (a defender that spends most of his time sliding on the ground and injuring opposition players, and a random guy in blue (a midfielder who has awesome ball control).
Throughout the game, Pete and i kept a tight backline in front of a watchful Alvin (the keeper) while Shaun, Jerusha and Gab kept making runs. Nick had a serious cramp in his thigh and had to sit out. Surprisingly, we kept a clean sheet and scored 4 goals in the first half! However, Shaun and Jerusha got knocked up pretty badly by "Crazy Legs". They were bruised and battered. loL!
Anyway, the second half started with an even bigger bang! We were on 110% straight from the kick off and we gave it all to them to finish it off with a 8-0 scoreline - Nick scored 2, Shaun 2, Jerusha 1, Gab 1 and i scored 2. Yep... we had pizza and drinks after that, and i got to make some new friends too.
I just finished doing my QT, and i realised that Pride crept into each and everyone of us. And the bible says that Pride corrupts Wisdom. How true is that? I almost got carried away yesterday with the adrenaline rush, and i know that i was close to boasting and all.

I wanna thank God for all the fun we had!
