Chapter 34- MapleSea?

Yes, i'm relieved, not that i didn't know how to do a math, just that i copied 3 wrong questions and made tons of careless mistakes, so, i'll amend, but, i'm happy i improved in math, copying 3 wrong questions and making tons of careless mistakes and still pass, its quite ok right? Same for e math, just that my section A had some really stupid mistakes, sometimes i wish why i have these eyes, i mean, i appreciate them, but its like they're not of any use, haha... So today was an ok day, i decided to play maple after teck siang used his lv 100 psyching skills to make me play. So yesterday i was watching the tele on new zealand and i saw that it is a country of pure LOTRness, and i realised, hey, i'm going to new zealand new year!! (hopefully) And i can't wait to get the DVC on the vcd cause i hate to have that sick feeling when i try to sneak in a NC-16 movie. One of fav actors tom hanks!! And i'm also amazed by my NO1 actor's prowess, his just super, and he's in 2 movies now, Sir Ian Mckellen a.k.a Gandalf, in DVC as Teabing and in X-men as magneto, how super this man isS!!$!$
I'm gonna play day of defeat one on one with ray, bring it on ray!! Right now

Chapter 35- On my deathbed

Ever since i waged a terrible war with the exams, my wounds have become grey, until this day, my body is finally broken. I didn't want to go to school today, but i had a presentation, and presents to give, but just when my father's car entered beatty, i told him to reverse and that i imagined myself in that same condition throughout a whole day's school and i said, no, so i went home. Back home, i rested this body of mine and sprung up a few hours later to play the computer. I spent more hours playing than recuperating, i was amazed by the wide selection of games that were available to me, but i spent most of my afternoon playing Day of Defeat and Lotr. Of course, i didn't have a peaceful time playing games as i had to visit the loo every 5 minutes because i drank 15 galleons of water in the morning. In the afternoon, Master Tian called me to inform me about the pool tournament, that the school was to send 5 representatives to this inter-school tournament, and Master wants me in, he said Mr Boo told them that he wanted 3rd place if not he'll cast the pool table into the abyss. Its only the first day of the start of after-exams and i've been plagued with bad news.. i don't believe i can do so badly for a math, the paper was so easy, and i put in some effort, i guess i can never excel in math, but i don't believe i can't either, if not what are the people in e1 doing there? they excel in everything, how's that possible? Then mother tongue, i got 63 overall? What's that? my mum's gonna slit my throat, she expects the most out of mother tongue and my compo is the number 1 factor that has been pulling me down. And more disappointing results flood in as i got 74/105 for pure geog, and the overall will be 70, that's a relief, if i don't deliver, then i shouldn't have joined pure geog halfway anyway. BUT, what if my CAs pull it down?
Actually, its quite ok, my results, i haven't put in the 100%, the computer just has too many games! Why is the computer so flirtatious? I wish i could go to the university now, i'm sick of trying to catch up for math and sci, just study some english subject, philosophy, linguistics, and go and be a professor and live like a prince, who needs math? I'd sleep on my deathbed anytime! Anything to be with the Lord.

Chapter 33- A tribute to Ashworth

I was pretty excited today, firstly because the exams would be over, and secondly my empty wallet would be filled again, as i rushed down to find my wallet, i realise i couldn't find it anywhere, then i started to get frantic, till i passed the verdict- my wallet's lost!! That's something very saddening, very depressing to hear on a good monday morning.

Year 2006, lost count

Nike bottles-2
Pencil cases-1
Sheaffer pens-3
Wallets-1
Handphones-1

With such a good record, how can my parents not nag at me for the whole day? Yes, so, i was extremely depressed, it has a sentimental value, its my favorite, my parents bought it for me on my birthday, and i kept several items that mean a lot to me, don't worry, its not any girl's stuff or anything, rather, some stuff from some close friends of mine.. so, i'm very very depressed, furthermore, i have to go to the boeaneaae vista place which i don't know where and make an ez-link for the 5th time....I remember going home from church in a taxi, and i was sweating from a ping pong game, furthermore, my jeans were pretty tight, so i took it off, then it must have been that, where my wallet slips out of my hand and onto the seat. I only have 20 bucks inside, i hope there's love left in the world, even if that guy takes the 20 bucks, i don't mind, i'd even pay 20 for that precious wallet of mine. So i went to school today feeling pretty naked, why's my butt so flat? Then, its was the physics mcq, i didn't do it properly, which might have caused my failure, i just didn't have the mood to study yesterday night. Then after the Chem SPA, we were stuck at the canteen doing nothing. I wanted to go with xuan xuan and teck to buy whitening cream, but yuan hong was pestering me to go to Safra.. i didn't want to let him down and besides, xuan decided to go somewhere, so i decided to go to central before going to safra. At central, i bought expensive stuff for xuan and may's birthday, how good i am, and teck kept complaining that we spent too much buying their presents.

So at Safra, it was full house today, and i wasn't playing pretty well. Then, Desmond, the ex-beattyian brought his ite friends over, and he took over my table for his said they weren't staying long. I asked him if he wanted to play with me, he said he didn't have money, so i went back to master tian. There, i kept telling wei zhou that i wanted to hustle them, but they were a big group, 4 girls, 2 boys, and one tank top dressed ''muscular'' desmond. I was a little intimidated, actually, i only wanted to challenge desmond. Then wei zhou and kenneth kept telling me to go over, but i was a little afraid. Then, with my ultra high frequency tone that only dogs and desmonds could hear, desmond ran over, i begged him for a game or two, but he rejected me flat. Wei Zhou kept telling me to challenge his friends, for he hated nooby guys who teach girls pool, so he kept forcing me to go, but i couldn't find that courage, for desmond already rejected me and i feel quite embarrased to challenge his friends. Then kenneth and wei zhou decided to go and play with them, and lose tragically on purpose, this was to give them confidence, so i could solo with them next, and thrash them, but sadly, as we were about to carry out our plan, they left.

So today, while being off form, i played straight pool with wei zhou, won him, and got an unexpected promotion to the level of shark, at lvl 3, i was surprised. Kenneth seemed to be a pro, in fact, he's the veteran, but how come a youngster like me can be promoted so fast? Maybe i'm really good but i don't actually realise, while teck is ranked 2 and kenneth at 2.1. So, it was a satisfactory safra visit, i don't really regret breaking my 2 months leave promise, but this shall be my 2nd last before the hols...Happy after exams to all you guys with fat wallets in your butts!!

Chapter 32- A Tribute to Luther Vandross

After listening to this song for the 100th time, i've decided to play it on the blog for 4 days, for it isn't good enough to surpass John Denver's perhaps love. It will then be followed by another 4 days of "First of May" by the Bee Gees.




Luther Vandross- Dance with my father
I only got to know Luther Vandross from the Oprah Windfrey show and at that time, he suffered a stroke. The album Dance with my Father was his last album. The song Dance with my father was released in memory of his father. His soulful vocals are to die for, so sweet sounding and simply beautiful, of course, this song is a really sad one. When i saw Luther Vandross on Oprah's show, he suffered a stroke and was of bad health. Then a few episodes later, i was shocked to hear that he died.Although he appeared briefly on videotape at the 2004 Grammys to accept his Song of the Year award for Dance with my father, he was otherwise never seen in public again. On the videotape on which Vandross appeared, he sent an emotional message that said: "Whenever I say goodbye it's never for long because I believe in the power of love." Vandross died on July, 1 2005 at John F. Kennedy Medical Center. He was 54. At this time, the cause of death is not known, although hospital spokesman Rob Cavanaugh has said that Vandross never recovered from the 2003 stroke. It was reported that he died peacefully, surrounded by his family and friends. We remember. This song playing now is so touching, it can almost make me cry, about the times of Luther and his father, and his longing to dance with him again.

Chapter 31- Virtual Battle

Battle for Middle-Earth 2 is sooo fun!!! Look at the final battle!!

No man can stand against the army of Hexun







The final battle



The orcs haven't been sleeping either!




So this is all the fun i had while i was supposed to study for Physics, it's a great game!!

Chapter 30- The Houses of Healing

I woke up this morning, peeed, freshened up, and went down to find myself all alone. So i decided to start on one of the new dvds my father bought yesterday night- Rain Man, by Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.. I love these shows, I am Sam, Forrest Gump, etc... These are really great shows, actors with sublime acting skills portray people who are usually autistic or mentally disadvantaged, but are incredibly smart. Of course, we should know the real people aren't that cute. Being a sympathetic person, i soaked my whole pillow, while for kenneth, i think he would be laughing along for the entire show if he watched it.. While i understand some of you guys have read the reader's digest article on the real rain man, who wasn't that likeable as Dustin Hoffman, but he's really admirable, i mean, each of his eyes can scan a whole page, and he can finish a book in an average of an hour! PLUS, there's like a bonus, he can memorize EVERYTHING on the page, EVERYTHING, which actually means, he just needs one hour to finish the history textbook and get 100 for the history end-of-year exam the next hour, i mean how incredible is thaT???? So the movie was really interesting, and touching, who sissy, can you believe it? Its hexun! Hexun's shedding tears! sissy boy.

I did nothing much for the rest of the day until my family went out for a pot luck at my church friend's house. So, knowing that i was keen about pool, my friend heng yi's father booked the snooker room just for us, then, i informed Wei Zhou about my impending pool tournament. Omigosh, is it really a big matter? Wei Zhou called me four times that night to confirm me and to ensure i do TPA proud, i mean, what do you expect Master Tian? I'm ranked 2.5!!! And Teck Siang also expressed concern and wished me luck... this wasn't what i quite expected, must every match be a MUST WIN match? I'm on a two month leave!!! Two months vacation!!! Yes well, when i got into the snooker room, i didn't play well, i didn't score 100 points as i thought i would, i was focusing on getting the points, not snookering heng yi or my brother, they weren't that good. The best i managed was a 50, while my friend and my brother were like in the negative section of the scoreboard. But still, i'll state my reason as i should:

1. No cuetip, the table was 900 years old, the cues were rotten and all the tips came off, except the one i was using, but i was busy masseing till the tip came off =(
2. Excessive use of deep mind trickery by the user, too much backfires..
3. Bent cue, my cue wasn't exactly straight, i had to aim left to get a stun shot.
4. Colour blindedness, the balls were not easily distinguishable
5. Lack of interest in opponents, they only seemed interested in seeing me trying to get my 100 points, while they were stuck at negatives.

So that was my interesting day..

Chapter 29- I'm a nice hustler

Basically what a hustler does is to misrepresent one's ability in order to deceive someone, especially in gambling, in our case pool, we've seen the ability of Wei Zhou, he hustled some guy for ten bucks, even my bro's somewhat hustled, someone challenged him for 20 bucks a game and he won 3 games, he didn't keep the money of course, his friend took it. Let's face it, how can Lee Hexun be a true hustler? How can i gamble? Tian Wei Zhou, i was born one but i cannot be one, i cannot gamble.

If i didn't take a 2 month leave from pool, i would've loved today.. So today was the history paper and the essay question wasn't quite right. Above the question wrote, this is about the end of monarchy in Russia, but the question asked about the October Revolution, and when we asked Mrs Haridass, she told us we should have written about the Provisional Government, which was in the October Revolution, i did, but when i saw the sentence the end of monarchy, taped it all away, hope she sorts is out soon.

So after grieving over my loss, i met up with Murali as i agreed yesterday night to play street soccer with the guys.. it feels so good to not go to safra finally. Then, the gruelling 6 hours of soccer under the intense heat began, we had good fun, maybe better than pooling? Just after a short hour, i had 4 missed calls and tons of sms, the pool gang was trying to contact me, can't they live one day without their 2.5? But i started telling all of them i wouldn't go to safra today. I played 6 hours non-stop soccer under the scorching sun, i'm Chaotafied! All the more i need the whitening cream right now.

So today i kind of regretted taking the 2 months leave, but i stand by my decision and i promise never to touch Safra for 2 whole months. Of all the days! Why must it be the day 2.5 decides to take a long break that all the action occurs? After i got home, i had a splitting headache and collapsed like a pig on my bed, i skipped piano, how pleasant. So after i awoke, i got many sms reports from my comrades.

I congratulate Kenneth for making his first professional hustle today. Kenneth was hungry at safra today, as so he reports, he wanted to buy the special maggie mee, but was short of 30cents, he glanced over at table 11, where 3 guys and 2 girls were playing. He walked over, he told a guy that they (Wei Zhou and Teck Siang) wouldn't let him play for he was too noobish. So the guy agreed to one game, kenneth told him to punch first, but he refused for he was too lazy but he suggested that he let kenenth play for free. So kenneth said it wasn't fair, then kenneth suggested 10 cents for each remaining ball and the guy agreed. According to kenneth's mind blowing 8000 page report, the guy was a noob and kenneth cleared the table easily in 3 turns! He left him with 5 balls. But the guy didn't have 50 cents, so he gave kenneth 30 cents. Mission Accomplished! Kenneth got 30cents for his maggie mee! Good job Kenneth.

Then another report came from Wei Zhou, he lost terribly in a money game, Wei Zhou profusely apologised to me for his poor display today, tarnishing TPA's record. He stated his reasons.

1. Exccesive use of mental trickery by opponent
2. Being sick
3. Physical fatigue ( 4 hours of playing )

" I apologise for the shame brought unto TPA due to my loss." Master Tian


That was my day, if only 2.5 was there to being TPA further glory, you guys will see at the School's Pool Tournament.. oh no, we doubt we'll win, but we'll put up a good fight..

Chapter 28- The hustler's temptation

I'm a hustler, wei zhou calls me that. So lately teck siang went crazy and scolded Master Tian.. Teck, having violated law number 12a of the TPA: Disrespect to the coach/instructer, received an indefinite suspension from Master Tian. Teck was pissed and he quit TPA. I was largely influenced by Teck and was in a dilemma.. To quit pool totally or not? I, being ranked 2.5, am the best player yet in TPA, surpassing veteran Kenneth. And wei zhou has been so good to me, should i renounce my citizenship? Yesterday night i decided to take a 2 month leave away from my stressful job of hustling gullible youths. Then today, Wei zhou showed me so much love, always emphasizing on the fact that i'm ranked 2.5 and i'm the best student, he wanted me to go home to play, (home, being 3rd home, wei zhou's home) But i had already taken leave and for the first time i felt so carefree.. In the end, i gave a straight NO. But wei zhou, being a great actor, gave me a face of pure disappointedness.. being a sympathetic person, i could not forsake my Master, i followed, and teck followed too. There, wei zhou suddenly became hostile and i wasn't playing well against kenneth, my heart sank to the stage of depression, i told wei zhou i quit, and i formed my own Lee's Pool Academy, Teck Siang immediately joined, both of the political parties engaged in raging battles, and we were doing very well, Lee's Pool Academy has been placed on the map, we've made a name for ourselves, seeing how well our party was doing, darren decided to join our party. Then all of a sudden again, i regretted quitting TPA, but it was too late. So smart me devised a two way plan, i organised the Word Pool Finals against Wei Zhou, the loser's academy was to cease function and disband, then, all of its members was to join the other academy. What a smart plan! A win-win situation. Look! if i lost, i would be back in TPA! If i won, better yet! It'll be LPA!

Of course, i lost the race to 3 expectedly, and i was glad to resume my position as 2.5. Then, Wei Zhou brought me to a corner and told me that what i did earlier on hurt him, that i was his favourite student, i was touched to tears and i promised never to forsake my master again, not until i become a master at least.. But what i said still stands, i will take a 2 month leave and after my exams, i shall not go to safra, but instead i'll follow xuan xuan to Changi to buy chocolates...

Chapter 27- General Elections

Today is General Elections day, George yeo must win, because my mum told me we are analogous, we are thinkers=))) So, elections day is really cool, politics is really cool, and i'm gonna be a candidate one day, vote for me.. So lately i haven't been doing much except studying and playing pool. The more stress we get, the more we wanna play pool. For example, last week i wanted to quit pool so much that i wanted to quit pool, i promised not to go this week, but i ended up playing after every paper. So last Friday was the Pure Geography examination day, it was relatively easy, compared to the previous papers, although they weren't that hard either, but they still weren't that easy... but i don't think i'm gonna nail the A1, although, A1 for all humans is a must, i didn't put in much effort for that paper.. After the paper, me and Teck siang followed the e2 pure geog girls to have lunch at the lousy coffee shop where we've eaten everything almost 1000 times... So Teck Siang was there busy critisizing everyone and i was there minding my own business quietly until he had to blue toot everyone my bee song.. That bee song was recorded by me at the safra toilet when teck siang taught me that kiddie song.. I attempted my gayest tone at that time and only he, wei zhou and kenneth had possesion of it.. now, teck see ang had to SEND IT TO EVERYONE THERE!!! And they were laughing at my sick gay voice over their loudspeakers...That was quite embarrassing.. I thank You Teck Siang... So our good master called us and he told us to rally to him, at his castle at serangoon, so we obediantly listened.. After we reached, we immediately engaged in battle after battle and we displayed all our sublime cueing and superb shotmaking skills.. So, i was the sole survivor and teck died a miserable death, my honorable master promoted me to the level of 2.5, the highest among all TPA members.. So, me and Teck Siang got a sneak preview of the impending completion of TWOT 6.. TWOT 6 will be great.. trust TPA, we only produce quality pool.. For the past few days, i have been focusing more on pool than on my studies, every 30mins, i'll run down to clear the table at least once, and my dad would keep nagging at me for playing pool all the time.. And lately the San Miguel Asian 9 Ball Tour is airing on tv and its incredibly exciting.. Francisco Bustamante v.s Efren Reyes! It was a great match.. I've improved my pooling style lately at home but i find it difficult to display it in Safra, its a different feel.. but i'm determined to kill off Lee Teck See Ang once and for all, although we're forever in equilibrium.. This should be my last post before the exams die off.. and i must nail my A1s this time... goodbye.

Chapter 26- Tribute to John Denver

John Denver is my favorite singer, in my heart, one of the best that ever lived, with his sweet melodies and elegant guitar strumming, his no doubt one of the greatest folk singer that ever lived.
John Denver was born December 31 1943. Died on October 12 1997.
He was one of the biggest selling artists of the 1970s. In his lifetime, he recorded and released 289 songs, 140 of which he wrote.Denver's songs were suffused with a deep and abiding kinship with the natural world. Songs such as "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" and "Rocky Mountain High" are popular all over the world.

Who can be better than this man? What do teens listen to now? Have they no love left for the world? Have all of you forgotten the golden ages of songs? The real songs? Can singers today match the prowess of the singers of the past? Trust me, take some time off the songs today, and take a few old albums out of your dad's drawer and listen to them, some of them so sweet it brings tears to your eyes..

On October 12 1997, the aircraft he was piloting alone ran out of fuel, he apparently lost control of his jetplane and crashed. Denver's short cut but legendary life was honored at the following Grammy's and Country Music Awards. His music remains popular with all ages to this day.

I was never a real fan of any music at all or any fan of any artists, until I got to hear John Dever's songs. If he were here today, I would definitely attend his concert even if it weren't in Singapore. The best of his songs for me include, leaving on a jetplane, which I tried to brainwash everyone with, Country Roads, Thank God i'm a country boy.
The song played on this blog is Perhaps Love which was performed by John Denver and Placido Domingo.



"I'm leaving on a jetplane"
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go






"€ountry Roads, take me home"

Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue rich mountains
Shenandoah River

Life is old there
older than the trees
younger than the mountains
growin' like a beeze

Country Roads
take me home
to the place
I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
my country roads

All my mem'ries
gather round her
Miner's lady
stranger to blue water
dark and dusty
painted on the skies
misty taste of moonshine
teardrop in my eyes

Country Roads
take me home
to the place
I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
my country roads


I hear her voice
in the morning hoursshe calls me
the radio reminds me of my homefar away
and drivin' down the road
I get a feelingthat I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads
take me home
to the place
I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
take me home
my country roads





"Perhaps Love"

(Placido Domingo)Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home

(John Denver)Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through

(Placido Domingo)Love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel

(John Denver)For some a way of living
For some a way to feel

(Placido Domingo)And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you

(Placido Domingo)And some say love is holding onAnd some say letting go

(John Denver)And some say love is everythingAnd some say they don't know

(John starts joined by Placido)Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of pain
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you










John Denver lives on...
