This is what you do what you are bored and its 2 am....

haha... i googled myself xinhan +blogspot and click on almost every link that has a correspondent with my name. Went out with benjamin wee to buy shorts and eat supper and was too awake even now at 2 am. Was fun.. the googling... found out my friends who posted about me secretly or not....and those links i lost. But sadly, i couldn't find another xinhan's blog. I would want to know all xinhans out there... be it guy or girl.. haha... i know there is a xinhan in taiwan hosting the chinese mtv... but he is irritating. lol..

Anyway.. on searching my english name simhan, i realised a lot of indians love this name. There is this indian called Rajah simhan who is very popular and widely spoken of in the net. I have no idea why as i cant read tamil. you may try.... haha.. Simhan and there is another xinhan who is earning millions as an engineer in the US. Inspiring.


So to whom is reading this blog.... please introduce me ure xinhans.....=)

gonna post pictures next time.

Failed my 2nd tp.

As topic... and very angry about it.. the damn examiner... i got 2 points for circuit and i got 38 points for outside driving! TELL ME IF ITS EVEN POSSIBLE . I am so filled with fury i feel like bashing him up. All along my instructor didn't say shit about my outside driving only on my abrupt lane changing (which isn't that abrupt already but he still penalise)(READ: ABRUPT LANE CHANGING MEANS CUTTING AT A STEEP ANGLE NOT RECKLESS CHECKING.. I STILL CHECK FOR CLEARANCE FIRST.) and i got 38 points?!!! In fact i argued one 8 point causing other vech to wait/perform evasive measures that he said when i coming out of the center the other school car has to slow down for me to exit. RUBBISH! It was signalling to go into the center and had slow down and begin to turn! I am 80 percent sure as when i turn i couldn't see anymore. Anyway that old freak was speechless and gave only a meek reply that it was straight. I can see self-doubt in his eyes. AND YOU KNOW WHAT! he gave me 6 points for insufficient acceleration. It was the points for the 1st gear before you release the clutch. WTH! The car didn't even stall and we were stuck in a jam. Must i rev the engine just so to escape that point. ANd my instructor oso never say its a marking point. dunno who to blame ... BOTH MAYBE! BUT THE ONE THAT MADE ME MOST FURIOUS IS A POINT ON VEERING OFF COURSE. WTF. I AM NOT SUCH AN INCOMPETENT DRIVER TO DO THAT. MAKE ME WASTE SO MUCH MONEY. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.........


and i make it a point to honk at those drivers who are so damn slow on the roads.... esp SCHOOL CARS......

I AM DAMN PISSED.

Teaching!

Ok... relief teaching to be more precise. Update. I read finished harry potter 7 though it wasn't in any book form.... go figure..haha... wasn't realli satisfied with the book though although it gives a passable ending of events. I haven got the mybook ... some chic looking storage hdd (hard disc drive la). thats because i am learning to hesitate before buying gadgets nowadays.. afterall i am realli surviving on my own now... no money from parents except house food and accomodation.

Relief teaching was horrible. Thats cause i am in a primary school. Little kids can be devils sometimes esp the p2s..... p1s still ok ... a bit gong gong cause haven figure out how to annoy teachers... p2s are when they learned all their tricks from their one year exp and p3s are when they start to behave like little smart asses and climb over ure head if ure not careful.

I am a maths and PE teacher. Maths was taught to p3s teaching them those familar problem etc Peter has 5 more oranges than paul. they both have 40 oranges. How many oranges does peter or paul have? Simple har.... they think so too.. and urged me to go through faster. and later keep coming up to me for explanations of harder variations. I cant be realli fierce though i tried hard to.. raising ure voice almost certainly works. Didn't realli enjoy teaching kids man.. keep acting like smart asses some of them.. couldn't recall me being like that last time. headache sia.. but i didn't realli care. as long as i do what was given out to me and make sure they know what they are doing.

I though PE was more fun. Well.. better than classroom a tiny weeny bit cause there is the problem of crowd control. P3s played badminton so had to get rackets and stuff for them and handle problems like "mr yu... i dun want to play with him. he always hit so far...." and a whole groups of boys wanting to challenge me badminton. and i mean all of them on the other side while i hit back at them. Of course, they played simply. hitting back and forth like aiming for the sky. most of them misses.
P1 and P2 were the worst! running here and there without control. Made them do a variant of shuttlerun to make them practice for sports day.

I sound like i am at a loss of how to handle the kids but in reality i did very well... haha... thats cause i am not a particular teacher and take note of what i am susposed to teach them... and they understand... nobody gets injured etc.. noise level acceptable. But this post is the horrendous afterthoughts of what could have happened.


day 2....

Pulau Ubin day

Finally... the much awaited pulau Ubin trip has arrived, after saying i wanna go there cycle again for so long liaoz.. met in the morning and tyng feng pang seh us.... then me zh and kenneth finally set off and ride in ubin. Zhong hao keep wanting us to follow some orientation group cause got freshie girls... and kenneth keep wanting to go back before we even really went around the whole island. trip was fun and met mingli ex-tj guy who i get to know through andi... merely acquaintance but was surprised he recognised me. Then suddenly the ntu pple who were with him ( some post- orientation ntu camp group of which he is the counsellor ) suddenly become very friendly and attempted small talk and on to bigger stuff. Now i know what on pple are really about.. even if ure friend's friend who you might not have the chance to meet again arrives, its cool to get to know him better on the off chance ntu merges with nus and we get along? hahaha... ok that is being rude... but i entertained him anyway. OK... i am friendly k.... i just don't like over-enthusiasiam.

Ubin is relatively easy to ride and the only challenge is some steep quarries on the western end before the chalets. Boys and girls, tip to get over steep climbs... first of all as you all know... get to the lowest gear asap. second.... stand up and pedal! you get more momentum and its easier by pushing on body-weight..... then when your legs are sore, sit back and pedal some more. Repeat the 2 steps and you should get to the top! Most of the saturday crowd pple all gave up the climb and push up their bikes. NOt trying to act pro here... but its really easier and you should all try it.

Ubin was fun and we got to some secluded beach spots. ANIWAE.... the ubin chalets there can play volleyball for $5 an hour... and its mostly vacant.. DIRT CHEAP! compared to sentosa. but overall i find ubin quite dull unless you in for nature and stuff. Will want to give the volleyball a try though.

Later met tf at ps and ate ajisen . I love ajisen cause its so filling... but now i am getting hungry again. Then we played lan at paradize. This time kenneth owns all the shooter and i own C and C 3 ... with help from teammate zhong hao of course. lan so sianzzzzzzzzzzz....

Should i join engine O week? Should i join ahm? i hope no to the latter man... i hate running long d.



3 of us near orchid farm (it has no orchids) taken on self timer cause angmos cant be trusted. haha



What a nice JUICY COCONUT!




Told you the scenery was nice!


lazy to post more liaoz.... good night!

pondering......

hello,
just came back from harry porter movie outing with my sisters..... movie was nice very smooth flowing and as close to my imagination of the actual happenings. *mini spoiler* halfway when the deatheaters started showing up, their masks and cloak look so much like the siths in star wars.... haha... you really will expect them to blaze out ligthtsabers instead of wands if ure a true star wars fan...

lots of trival things to say if i wanna write it all down... still cant get down to the essence and purpose of a blog.... for ranting? maybe more for look-on-back times when one gets old.. and when i am in my 60s..... will blogspot be still up? will the world still exist in the midst of so much speculation that global warming will bring calamity in 20 years time. To all those who blog for this reason, have you ever wonder about it? i suspect many of you will forget the existence of your blog when you actually reach the age when you wanna reminiscene about past goings. (did i spell it right? who cares....) and when you wanna retrieve these memories i suspect blogspot servers would have be reformatted, relocated or cease to exist with ure account inactive for so many years.

For now, i reckon that the existence of a blog actually enables one to crystallise his thinking and sort out his thoughts effectively.

And i really feel like typing out a lot of things today ... many of which have been bottled up for so long.

What is life? Not going to be philosiphical( yep.. haha i dun know how to spell k) about it or start preaching religion. But in my current understanding of the world, look beyond the little things we enjoy and love care and concern and there is nothing for us here. This is why so many religions and speculations about life's meaning derive from i suspose. And that is why because i am a christian and despite backsliding numerous times, i still believe that our life on this planet is short-lived and we must go to God and make the best of everything. haha... ok.. i admit i am going into religion a bit. hmm.. and i am wondering now if i am 60 would my outlook on life change.

I think i am thinking about so many serious issues because one. 1) I have too much free time since its the hols (besides gym and outings and everything else which makes me think harder) 2) I am close to the end of my education (uni i mean though i have 3 more years.. haa ^_^) and the time for me to start working and living a even more boring life is close. I have become so independent over the years that i am surprised this did not come to me before. Money issues aside, i spend more time thinking how to get more money (giving tuition etc) supporting myself and etc than i do on anything. 3) I am 22 years old. Despite looking damn young ( like sec 3 i admit) , i realised all good things come to an end. Lan gaming or any gaming seems childish to me now though i refuse to give up on them. Talking nonsense and joking sometimes seem so much waste of time. Think i am changing. hopefully! Feels so much cooler to be more mature. haha. ok.. i am not growing up i suppose.

WA LIEW....feels so song sia... after typing it... think i will forgot what i thought about soon. lol...

Aniwae... to sum up.. i have a WHOLE NEW LIST of goals i wanna achieve!!!
