Hi, how's life about Julius?
Boring, since my i got no PW where the rest of the J1s are busy about, i got nothing to do... Having break now till Wednesday, before going back to school to start J2 topics. Revision for me... :) Hope my holidays will be more interesting, with work shadowing, CIPs and maybe a trip to Aussie...
Heard you join back B ball, how do you feel about them?
Well, still learning the ropes. Got to really drill the basics for some. Can see some really put their heart in to get better, but to take it to higher level, the team need to put in really a lot more work. I miss the previous team, but my role here is totally different. Still not sure why am i back, but i am doing what i feel is right. Bring some experience to this team. Just lost the ACSIS previously known as ISIBL. Thrown at the face at the difference in standard of the team's performance, but kind of happy to see the team doing better at the end of the season.
What plans do you have for this holiday?
I plan to upgrade myself. Initially wanted to take driving courses. Which is unnecessary. I can easily get an A-I license in Jakarta, and i am already driving in Jakarta, so why go through the pain and money?
Take up music courses, basically piano. Can't convince myself. Imagine, an 18 year old taking grade 1? Err... I need a good teacher in the first place.
Take up French. Any school to attend? I really hope someone tell me where to attend the class?
Learn a new sport. Tennis or badminton. David can coach me badminton for free.
The end of my interview.
I would like to help my dear cousin to advertise himself. David Tjong, a young player. He also seem to be a good coach. So far he have successfully coach 4 kids who manage to enter the SBA kids squad from nothing. Anyone looking for badminton classes feel free to find me, i'll refer you to him. Yeap.

Post - promos
Hello! Let me see, what date is today. It's the 15th October, tomorrow is the 16th, and 5 days ago was the 11th. Well, 11th marked the 17th month i am attatched to darling, and still counting on! Tomorrow, is a bit special, it's Mama's birthday! Haha... Well, thought of doing something special this time, like do some scrapping for her. It's been so long since i had done a handiwork for her. Maybe she will like it, and i am more free now.
Plan to take a course, either music or an extra language. Have yet to decide, but i need to decide soon, so as not to waste my holidays. Anyway, about driving, i decided to just wait the chance to go back Jakarta and get my A internationals done, it will be easier that way, more speed, no haste. Haha... So i heard i just needa convert my license by taking the basic theory? Don't really have a perfect picture yet.
I took part in this years Interhouse games which was last wednesday. It on tuesday. Man, it's been so long since i touched the basketball. Yes, i represents a new house, and am the most experienced among the group of players, i take it, i am the leader of the team of 7. It's a pity that my friend Wei Cheng injured himself the day before, otherwise it would have been a more enjoyable time.
Tried to exercise my strategist mind. Standing in a position of a coach, but i realise it's hard to get a team to listen to you. Needless to say accessing the flow of the game, and do tactical switches. For example which player is more suitable, what type of play, and set pieces to get the team out of danger. Well, overall i think it was a good experience, and i the team Nobel got a third placing, which is rather good i thought. This make me feel i still gotta learn a lot from basketball, and i do consider taking coaching courses which will benefit me, needless to say apply it when i'm in the game.
My physical strength have definitely weakened. Stamina dropped, strength missing, and all my touches and timings were rusty. I promised Mrs Loh to get back into shape within 1 months. I mean business, i really gotta to show the result this time. I am the senior yoz... The first welcome to the team, a match against New Town Sec. I don't know what will it be like, without the mates i used to rely on, I realised, i am one of the main pillars now... Hope to have a good game...

Re-sitting the same exam.
While my friends was taking back their bloodbathed prelims paper, i was sitting in the exam hall, resitting for the examination i took a year ago. It was still about a month away to A Levels. You can really tell that my former classmates are on full steam. Rushing against time, brain trying to sponge all the stuff they need in the exam halls.
Meanwhile i was in a war of my own, fighting for the legibility for a seat in class next year. If i lose, i may be well on my way elsewhere. Feeling stressed, as moderation may not help much due to the 100% of my results will come from the papers i sit. Every mistakes i made will be more fatal as compared to the rest. I need to be extra sure than the rest, be extra careful.
I will put my best foot in the line, whatever happens next, at least i tried. But i do feel i am crossing that line already, to the safe harbour, and not be relegated into the wilderness...

Life can be more interesting...
I need something to spice up my life! Argh, i'm so jealous with the people around me. My besties are getting jobs, and even my cousins are so. Whereas, i'm still a parasitic boy. Crap. No income, yet still spending! If i am a country's government i will have incurred millions of national debts i think.
The school do have some work shadowing programme with some affliated companies. Only for about a week? Worst of all, you don't really get paid, but it still beats being labeled "unemployed". Furthermore it's something to add to my testimonial which is quite nice already, and something to note about in my future resume. Thinking of how to spend this coming holiday wisely, on one condition, i get through this promos. Well, unlike other J1s, my promos will be a 100%. So whatever i get, it will be what my results are reflected onto the report card.
Lately, my tummy, the intestines area, on the right, about 4 fingers above my hips, hurts often. Yes, what does that mean? I suspect i am getting appendicitis. It's beet hurting a few days already, that explains why i am actually quite lazy to eat this few days. I don't feel goo after eating. I hope it doesn't go bad, if not off to the operating table i go. Crap... Never been so unlucky in my life before.
Last year i did a CIP at Paragon, Metro. Well, it's a joint effort by SIF, Metro and PJC to raise money for the unfortunate children in less developed countries. Usually this CIP project is out to the J1s, thus since i am once again a J1 student, i am able to join! I remembered the timing was quite bad, somewhere very near to Christmas! Yes to the eve!
That's not the matter. I can choose not to join, but i decided to join again anyway. Why? This time they are raising money for Indonesian students! Yes, precisely, if it wasn't for the word Indonesia i would have cared less. Donations are designated to a high school in Bandung, still a developing part of Indonesia, more known for a tourist attraction.
At last, someone actually highlight the importance of education in Indonesia. Let me try to apply some economic theory to it. Education is a merit good, and by nature, it is deemed as socially desirable, yet tends to be underconsumed or underproduced. People consume education bearing in mind only their private benefits, which is below the socially optimum level, ignoring the external benefits on third parties. It is a market failure due to allocative inefficiency. Resources are not allocated to boost consumption of education which will allow marginal private benefit to coincide with marginal social benefit. So, this is a form of intervention that will help to work do so! I have been wanting to contribute to Indonesia's society, and this is a good chance.
If possible, i would like to go a step further. I heard SIF is doing some form of exchange programme with Indonesia, honestly, i will want to be included, but i don't know how to get to that platform. Not only i will understand more of my country through that, being an overseas educated Indonesian, i believe i will be able to bring to my counterparts at Indonesia a picture about the world outside and thus they too will benefit. Can anyone link me up to this? Thanks!
I haven't been touching basketball lately. Think i am somewhat a rusted old gun. Will i come back to hit the courts? I don't know. The first one will be the inter-house games. Hope i can bring the team to achieve some result. A loophole, each house is supposed to be allowed 2 school players. My house has 2 already, but as i have already stepped down last year, i am not included, so that makes 3 i guess. Should be an advantage in a way or another. Talked to some juniors today. They want me to come back and join them though, we'll see how is it after promos then.
I just met up with the girls, yeah without Chujun. Okay, say it out, Siew, PQ, Karol, and Clari. Went to eat Thai food at Chuntin Rd. It was on Monday night, rainy night. The rest are busy, Alan's having training, CJ i dunno, Chris and JY got their prelims.
That's all,
Big love peeps

Mood to talk someone down.
If you have been following up with regional countries disputes in South East Asia, especially in this region where i will call it the Archipelago, the Strait and this sunny island i am on.
Firstly was between the sunny island and the strait over a rock? I will say more logical then the next two that i will be talking about. I forget the island name, gotta find out soon as it may be used as an example got GP exam. In the end both of them split the rock island to two! What? So, what's the use? I don't know...
Next is over a culture that have been long in the archipelago and that it is so far away from the strait. Piss me off. Haven't they got something better to do? How old is the Archipelago and how old is the Strait? Geographically and i believe historically that piece of culture belongs to the Archipelago. It makes me feel that the Strait is desperate for more land, and i may assume it's an invasive act. Think twice before doing something. They event try to advertise their own country with that piece of culture. Halo!!! I am not tolerating anymore of that.
Lastly is over food origins which apparently is famous in Strait and sunny island. Many from afar came over to taste them. As usual, chinese claim that their families recipe is the best testing, but i never heard of trying to make that dish specially only in the strait. Well, anyway, just to remind all of us, chinese food originates from the mainland, which is brought over by our forefathers and which was later modified till today's special taste.
I don't understand why the strait is doing all these childish stuff, but i think it's trying to get a boost economically from tourism. The other reasons i can think of are quite childish though...

Re-Introduction
Hi my name is Julius...
I started this week in a new class. 09S11. Yes, i don't have to take prelims anymore for this year, but there is still promotional exams to care of. Which is roughly 2 weeks away.
Sunday night i did toss and turn round on the bed, excited, yet worried how will people's eyes will be on me. From what i heard, S11 is not a really good class, so i am in fact worried. Fret not, i know it's kind of difficult to re form a social circle in a new environment, i have 2 guys i know, who share the same boat as i do. Neither are they quite distant to me, and neither that i know them well...
Lucky thing S10 is not having class or morning paper. I wonder what is people thinking.
The class is quite talkative in class, and i am really afraid that they are really slackers, but i was proven wrong. In fact i see potential in them, or maybe it's just the beginning. Didn't make much friends yet, only through some acquaintances. I still really cannot make out their faces yet.
Their arsenal of teachers may not on the overall look quite promising compared to those i had in 08S10. Not that bad either, it's really up to me to rake up some flame in my work now, furthermore it's only two days since i attend classes.
Honestly, i haven't have the chance to thank my class yet. For their support in my time as a class manager, even though come to think about it, i could be better, and most importantly, my teachers. To the ever so patient Ms Alice Seah, willing Mdm Goh, the powerful Ms Valerie Tng, Ms Wong who trusts me, and my great physics teacher Mr Andy Lee.
I left without a word. Abruptly. I'm sorry... If i have the chance to, i will give my thanks, moreover, all of them have left a mark in my life.
I shan't blog much about the struggle that I'm facing, there's a couple nowadays. I don't think many are in support of this 'Avolution', and what's there to blog about having a relationship that is denied by my family. It's all part of all teenage couple right? We're still going strong now. Yet, something else is diminishing. I am looking for a new way to balance this two sides of my life.
Anyway, Gunners lose again. Shit. Gunned down by former Gunner. Honestly, my faith in them are losing. Despite the arrival of the mighty Arshavin, and full back Thomas, still with the wonderkid Cesc managing the traffic flow. They need to show that they can produce results. Anyway, i am not bothered by these lately, i just want to immerse myself to improve my condition first.
Lags behind in Integration, and i need to fix my concepts on some econs stuff. I'll still try to emerge one of the top few in class, that's my short term goal.

How will school be like in my new class 09S11. So far i know Wei Cheng, Wei Yang is in there. Not bad, at least i know one soul there. But i wish my life can turn for the better. Everyone has their shit time in their life. Let mine be now, and leave the rest great...
Nothing much to blog, no inspiration. Haven't meet clique yet, even though it's holidays now. I'll be around town, Mount E. Call me up, i can always spare time for my dear friends...
