Christmas!!

Just returned home from my Batam trip! Trip was moderately fun. The things there are really really cheap. I bought two shirts for S$3 each, damm should have spammed more.. Went for some sea sports also. Jet ski, banana boat, swimming, kayaking..

Been studying with cass's study group at school. Starts at 8 a.m. I'm dam proud of meself.

I might upload the pictures soon. Merry christmas eve!

HOLIDAYS

WOOHOO holidays are here! Actually I'm not that excited. Seems to me like there're not many activities this holiday. No overseas trip. No class chalet. No planned parties. Theres absolutely nothing to do except play pool and video games. Which I already do during school days. Boring!

Okay actually theres something to do which is to get a driving license! Hope i can get it before the next June hols.

Went to play snooker with champion teck at home just now. He's too zhun already. Long shot pot like no mother business. Lost 2-3. And after that we went to play pool, teamed up to play scotch doubles with two idiots and thrashed the hell out of them. Whch was expected. We are the TPA. Anyway halfway when we were playing a group of damm chio girls strutted in to play pool. Damm distracting. How come such things never happened in the old days?

Hmm.. what else is there to say. Nothing.. Just bought another wii motionplus. So that means that you can play multiplayer wii at my house. Bet some yellow fruit will be excited.

Okay enjoy the peace.... woooo....

idiotic.

Post promos

Stupid school holidays still have to go back. Got cca somemore.

One of my classmates who's a trained singer is leaving the class. Bringing the female count to a saddening 3 out of 17.. Jokes aside, she's quite a good friend so I'll miss her.

On a brighter note, been learning how to play the piano recently! Still can't read notes fast enough to play them real time. Always have to memorize a few notes and play from memory. Damm suckish i know. But I can play silent night okay!! double handed somemore! Just in time for christmas next month XD

I remember there was a girl in secondary 2 who said that I'll never be able to play:)

I kinda miss her and wonder what she's doing now...

Started on Kingdom Hearts 1 recently, can't help it theres way too many KH games coming out and I'm a huge fan of Square's Rpg's so i must know all the stories!!!! Going to complete it soon and start on KH2. I think my KH skills are godly. No heartless can stop me!!!!

It a bit hard to believe that a year has passed since entering j1, and that its been 2 years since my fight with cancer.

It seems almost unreal now, typing these words out, it all seems like a dream. Reflecting now, I think I've been a bad patient and student. Always not taking care of my health the way i should and not studying. But everything always turns out fairly well in the end for me. Maybe I'm just lucky, or I create my own luck. Its hard to know for sure.

Been emoing and reflecting a lot recently. Went back to where i used to live from 2 to about 5 years old, and there were many memories and a tear. Places disappeared, friends lost and emotions forgotten.

And the beautifully heart stringing song that is probably playing now is "KIMI GA IRU KARA" which i have no idea what it means. Its the theme song for final fantasy 13, and i currently think its the best song in the world.

Talking bout ff13 I'm absolutely drooling. Release date is march next year. I CAN'T WAIT XD!

results

LOL got third in class with rank points of 63/80

not too bad for someone who goes to school less than going to a pool parlour.

and i beat hitlary twice

5-0 &
5-1

yupp i know.. too good... Nah actually he was on terrible form.

But a win's a win.

Tomorrow A level chinese. Die

Okay time to go memorize all the useful phrases.

post promos

The promos are over! Did dreadfully for chemistry and physics. Gonna fail chem i think... So far only got back one paper which is chinese... And guess what? I seconded the class muahahahahah.. Its really stupid cause anyone who knows me knows my chinese sucks. Its really all luck, MCQ tyco right LOL. Hope karma doesn't strike me back.

Gran turismo is finally out on the PSP, and its an amazing game, the reality is simply unmatched. I mean there're like 700 cars from real life manufacturers and all of them handle lifelikely, plus polyphony even went to record the whur of each car.. So psp owners, make sure to check this out. For people with custom firmwares, drop a tag if you need help on getting the iso to work. I know a good source ;)

School's boring as ever now that promo's over, PW and Chinese are in full force.. Boring! And the class seems to be getting fonder of me.. surprise surprise///

Exams and pool

One year in college really passes very fast. Promos are here already. Die liao X.X

I'm just kidding I think i did quite well. Especially for the maths paper.. Actually, only for the maths paper haha... the rest can pass and can get promoted. Thats most important... Next year then come and chiong. But i think even so, with all modesty, I'll still thrash many people in the class -.-

Self confidence is good. Especially yesterday, played pool quite well at fusion. I know its right in the middle of exams but. Still need to train right? I'm a pool player.

Okay going to play my just-downloaded "Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days" on nintendo DS. Looks bloody awesome!!!

AHHH

Okay spent a lot of money today buying a new set of headphones... The mighty Audio-Technica ATH-A700. Sounds really good and clear, although its all bout personal preference.

Read 125 pages of the econs textbook yesterday... Supposed to read the remaining 125 pages today BUT..

Went to hospital and went shopping... Came back at 8 plus. been listening to songs nonstop since getting home..

Feeling a little unwell since the treatment today so I'll skip school tomorrow :(

Tinkerchel!!!

Fucking best cosplayer ever!!!

I think some of you would know her already. Her voice is also fantastic. Sounds BETTER than the original XD can't stand it.

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG6Gikqpk-I&NR=1

Its good to know there're cute girls who have nothing better to do..

H1N1 !!!

Wah really got H1N1.. Lol bad mouth. Stayed in KK for 3 days damm unbearable. released on Monday. Got a 13 day MC.

Dissidia is out! Must have for Final Fantasy Fans. It has been a long time since the PSP had a top quality game like this. Last one was Crisis Core and God of war from more than a year ago. Completed both in the hospital XD.

Schools really bad. Missed i think like 20 days of school this term. Promos die already. And theres chem SPA make up soon...

Bored

Been missing a hell lot of school recently. Down with bad flu. Maybe its H1N1.

Also doing a lot of mathematics lately. Contour integration, Fourier series/transforms, Laplace transforms, hypergeometric series. Can't help it H2 mathematics is really too boring.

Also came up with a new theorem, but bet someone was there already.

My favourite Linkin park song is new divide.

Chester Bennington's voice is too good.

Strange

I always thought that i was overconfident. But for the past two days, i was defeated by the lack of it. For pool and physics. Fear of losing. I guess if you really want to achieve in life you just have to do it without considerations.

bowler, hustler and mathematician

yesterday bowled a terrific game of 190 points. Could ave gotten 200+ but got distracted by the slow girl playing beside me.

Just downloaded the lastest version of Mathematica. Combined with my new Intel Core 2 quad PC. Calculated pi to a million digits in like less than 7 seconds damm cool.. The same feat was acomplished in 1973 using a GDC7600 supercomputer which took more than 30 hours. Shows how fast technology is increasing. Just can't imagine what he would come up with if Euler or Gauss had access to all this tech.

Here are the first few hundred or so digits.

Okay gtg study. But I'm already too good.

Brilliance

Junior College

Woohoo got 2nd in class. Rank points of 61/80. Totally didn't deserve it cause i didn't study. Just ask kenneth, everyday play pool one.

Yesterday went to check out my attendance records on the school's e-learning portal. I was absent for a total of 20+ days last term!!!! last term only had like 60 or so days btw. And still can get AAE/S. I think SR's MYE standard is really really really low. But then again there are people who did far worse... Don't know what they're doing la. Maybe they should play some pool.

Still too lazy to post the perhentian island pictures.. Which is like a month ago already.. One of these days I'll do it.

For the pool player who doesn't know how to sing a Jay chou song.



Lyrics are here but nobody really cares cause he's mumbling anyway.

冷咖啡離開了杯墊
我忍住的情緒在很後面
拼命想挽回的從前
在我臉上依舊清晰可見

最美的不是下雨天
是曾與你躲過雨的屋檐(oh~~)
回憶的畫面
在蕩著秋千 夢開始不甜

你說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
又何必去改變 你說過的誓言
你用你的指尖 指示我說再見
想象你在身邊 在完全失去之前

你說把愛漸漸 放下會走更遠
或許命運的簽 只讓我們遇見
只讓我們相戀 這一季的秋天
飄落後才發現 這幸福的碎片
要我怎麼撿

Good luck XD

fed up

Long anger post...

I most hate people who think or consider too much before doing something. They make sure every shit little thing that can be taken care of is taken care of before they do something. They call it responsibility, but in fact they are just being cowards. These are the people who think before every move and don't like to take their chances. Most of the time, these people are highly educated.

Maybe it is because these people have too many things. The more you have, the more you want to safeguard what you have, and the more ham ci you become. What I cannot tolerate is their inherent fussiness. They have to make sure that every spot on the chair, table, plate, utensil is wiped before sitting down to have a meal.

So I don't care about anything or anyone before I do something. Irresponsible? I'm just not afraid to do what I like whenever I like. Regardless of what other people think, your world has only one person in it. Yourself. You only live your life once, entrapped in the shell that you call yourself. As a conscoius being, thats all that matters. All other things outside are external stimuli that is not you, and that you can't feel no matter how hard you try.

The people that i hate most, think about all the external stuff that is not related to them, take care of all external stimuli which is really not needed at all, and spend a lot of time on bullshit. In this life, you are only responsible to one person, and that is yourself. In a more philosophical question, how do you even if these external stimuli are real, for all you know we are living in the matrix and in the end you end up worrying about something that really doesn't exist.

Even if it does exist, life is too short to be bothered by minor details. Which is why whenever i feel like doing something fun or i feel that i want to do, i will do it regardless of any opposition or concerns. Problems will always be there, why solve them today when you can relax first and solve them tomorrow? The most important thing in life is to have fun.

Every time happiness is forfeited for worries and concerns, it means one less moment of happiness in your life. How many people can carelessly skip schoolwork to play a video game, scold the unreasonable teacher "fuck you" or walk into a poolroom betting 5 dollars on every pool game with hustlers and end up losing $100+ in a single night at the age of 17? It is easy to follow rules, but true joy and the meaning of life comes from breaking them.

It is risk taking and adventure seeking that brings about exciting and surprising moments in life. Ten years from now, you are not going to remember fondly how you cared about everyone when planning for a party, or how you did all of your homework during the holidays. More likely, you will remember , with laughter, how you stole your parents money and got discovered. A life with everything well thought out of and planned is just not as invigorating, fun and interesting as an unexpected one.

Do what you want to do, whenever you want to do, because it might be the last chance you have. And don't ever look back, don't ever regret because it was fun. Life has not many ten years, the most important thing is to be carefree.

Pooling with class...

Okay went to watch night at the museum 2 with class. Then went to play pool. Pics are on facebook, but i'll post them here anyway.

I look noob. Perfect hustling skills.

Another dunno-how-to-rack racker... Hahaha.. Then after she tried for a while i got it and racked it in half a millisecond. Too good.

Members of the TPA what style is this? Closed bridge, never bend low and aim low.

Proper follow through! Haha i look cool in this picture. And behind me the semi cute girl is Cassandra with a impressed but dun want to admit it look.

Classic example of "i can shoot better with a rest cause i dunno how to bridge" mentality.

Erm... Pool is meant to be cool.Try harder =X

EXAM

Walau 3/2 years never had an examination already. almost forgot how it feels like. Okay la not as tense as playing pool for 10 bucks a game. I think its more pressure to do well then nervousness.

So ya had first paper today. MT and GP. Mt was easy. GP was easier. Topic was on porn. If all goes well should be able to score. Tomorrow is econs. No shit just be confident.

Realized that its been a super long time since i did any maths on this blog.

A simple result from graph theory states that given any non self-intersecting graph (not the y=f(x) graph, another kind of graph which has vertices, lines and nodes),

nodes + regions = lines + 2








This is basically a sort of graph. It has 6 nodes, 7 lines and 3 regions (2 insides and 1 outside)

Since nodes + regions = lines + 2
We have 6 + 3 = 7 + 2

Thus the formula is correct in this case.

It is not difficult to prove, by mathematical induction, that this formula always works for any graph you can draw.

Hint: let nodes be the variable and prove Pn for 1 node, then prove that for n=k nodes, the formula also holds for n=k+1 nodes.

Defeat

....

sick....

Don't know whats up recently. Keep getting sick. Haven't been to school for two days already. Last week also missed two days... Fuck how to catch up... Haiz nevermind, I'm smart :)

Damm tyco man

Somehow, i feel really lucky these days. First I got top in class, then i beat two uncles and won ten bucks at icez and now i'm one of the four who passed chinese in the class, out of 18. Schools been really good, just damm tiring. But its okay cause its not important.

Masterful

Okay so I've been toping the class for all my subjects. Don't ask me how i why i have not put in any effort. So its just luck.

But you know.. tests aced on luck feel twice as good as tests aced on hard work.

And real men make their own luck.

So good luck this Sunday master, and pawn them all.

Middle of hectic schedule

Really busy. But dun care still going to go eat with darren and soomin. Must stick to my principles and still have a life. Oh yeah and wish me luck this sunday at icez. Oh well i got one less subject to worry about anyway :)

The Greatest Hustle of all Time

Too good man..

holiday

woohoo..

"All of you failed this essay. Except one. The person is..... Weizhou" -GP teacher.

hahahahaha too good to be true.

But still its a subpass LOL....

But i guess for the first try its good.

Well done Tian keep up the good work and be student of the year!

Nothing much to write. Holidays here, gonna learn more programming on my ti-84. Its really fun... Besides if you've been forced to get one, why not make the best of it :)

Haha just dug out a poem i wrote from like 509237 years ago:

Untitled

I stayed back in school today
Under the cover of the TPA
To watch you from afar
Like a distant star

Something in your eyes tell me
That you want me to flee
To Safra maybe
Or to home
And leave you alone
But i could not

As the students of the last bell leave
I pack my bag to go
And all that is left
Is a heartbroken master
and a girl who doesn't know
or care

Buses do not wait for people
I returned home slightly late that night
All because i was wondering
How to set things between us right
Though i know they'll never be

Every close friend has asked me
what i see in thee
I tell them she's pretty
They tell me i am blind

Love is blind.
Her eyes are beautiful because they had seen my world
Her hair is beautiful because they have touched my shoulders
And her lips are beautiful as they have once shared my joy
And my heart is always hers
A willing prisoner of a captive spirit

-end-

Emo right.. yupp i know too...

Who can guess who's the girl lol.

MASTER

Okay so what have i been doing...

1) Learnt how to write programs on my calculator ( I wrote a binomial expander and series summer program anyone want?)
2) Learnt how to bowl properly
3) Learnt how to use my new viking
4) Won my first victory in a pool tournament yesterday

Okay busy must complete all my work now so i can use Sunday for pool!

Life's great:)

WTF?!?!

WTF?! Its Sunday again!

Okay lets see... Last Sunday had an awesome party at home, got guitar hero (with 2 guitars). Really addictive game to play but sadly i don't have the time to play it.

Okay then after that was school.. Wednesday got bowling trials.. Bowled like 140 best of the J1's immediately got chosen to go back on Friday XD.

Okay then Friday.. The maths lecturer made a mistake in lecture.. Corrected him after that, he was very nice and thanked me courteously. Love it when teachers are courteous instead of the usual sarcastic and evil exposition.

Kay then Friday got my first official bowling training. Learned all the basicky stuff like stance and movement.. After that went to tpy central with darren to eat and hang out with YH and Weng Fung and PSP spoiler.

And I'm down with a bad cough... coughed 10345378 times yesterday night. kidding but its really bad.

And thats it! That all I've done for the week?!?!? Where did my free time go man.. Cannot must find them back today. But shit i still have chem and gp homework =X

Crazy.

Masterous

In life, I always strive for perfection no matter what I decide to do. I worked hard in the things I believe, not to be the best, but to be the best that I can be.

I always tried to be nicer, to be more desirable, more confident, more engaging. I never knew what was wrong with the old weizhou, only that people didn't like him. I tried, and still try my best to change. But maybe even after a year's brush with death, weizhou hasn't changed at all.

Perhaps master will never change, but definitely to a certain extent, he has matured and grown.

Don't judge me if you don't know me.

On a lighter note, I am super excited about the party tomorrow. My deepest thanks to Ivan and Janet, who made this event possible.

ahhh no its 3a.m. gotta get some sleep!!

HEctic

School's already started for a week...

School, not bad thus far. Haven't really made any new friends, all still considered acquaintances (my god never knew this word was so hard to spell)... But i got to learn a few things like the cover-up method lol... Very cool... And i got to dance with a reallllyyyyyyy cute girl. Super cute. I am officially infatuated with her.

Been feeling really tired though, not sure if its because my health's still not 100% yet or that i'm just not use to the pacing of school life.. After all, i spent one year slacking and sleeping. But woah jc life really passes damn fast.. i mean the weekend is like wtf that Was the weekend?!?!?! And i haven even played pool yet!

Yeah and the gp homework is to read the straits times from friday onwards... Hope they dun give any kind of test on it cause i totally didn't read...

Okay went to the botanical gardens today with my cousins...

The misty and cool path to nowhere...

Inside the misty path :)

alright la... had fun and also went to eat yu sheng with the whole maternal side....nice closure for CNY i guess... Sian I am having flu and tomorrow got school. And its not like I can skip it cause its fun and games... I mean if it was like lectures i would have skipped it right away... Darn :(

SCHOOL!

third day of school damn tired to blog. shall update this weekend.

"Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here!
Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear,
So soon forsaken? young men's love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes." - Shakespeare; R&J

Lost

I'm starting to get sick of my deteriorating pool skills. Sure, i can break and run out more often now, but somehow, I'm losing the feel and confidence of my younger days. Perhaps its the year long cancer break, or maybe pool is a young man's game. But I'm afraid right now, I'm no longer a master.

Today i got beaten at icez pool by someone who was lousier than me. Giving your opponent to win 3 racks in a row to win the match when you're on the hill stings like a bitch. But more importantly, I'm gravely upset by the fact that I do not have the confidence to win even someone who doesn't really know the game well. I think I'm becoming too trained, too cautious, too scared of losing.

Well like theres only one thing left for me to do now, train, go back in a month, and thrash the fuck outta him.

My name is Joey

Went to Icez pool at Kovan on Wednesday to meet up with soomin and darren to play a bit of pool. No actually my main reason was to sign up for the pool competition that is going to be held tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Part of me actually wants to go to SJC cause a lot of my friends are there and its near my house, not to mention near the bowling and pool centre too. If i go to SR i think i would have a comfortable time. Not neccesarily a good time, but a comfortable one.

For the most part though, i want to go to CJC. Change of environment, get to know some new people, get a new life. Sick of the old life, sick of the old Weizhou, tired of Darren and SM.. No hard feelings here, just a thought that distance would make us better friends.

A fresh start, a new beginning, a better life.

Please call me Joey from now on.

new year

Its been two weeks since new year already so i know this is late.

reflections:

2008. What more can i say, I was in and out of hospital, suffered under chemotherapy, operations, injections, but amidst all the suffering and pain I could still be happy at times, because of the people who supported and stayed beside me, and i thank them from the bottom of my heart.

Now I have officially finished chemotherapy treatment, done the last lumbar puncture last Thursday. Hopefully after all that is done, I can win this battle. With cancer however, nothing is sure, but I am glad that I will have a chance to step foot in college next month. Thank you professor Tan at KK for bearing, and treating me.

Looking back, I'm really surprised at how brave I am. The bravest experience was when they cut open my chest to insert a port into my chest that connects to the heart. It was all done when I was awake okay! I could feel the surgeon cutting open my chest and the tube going deeper and deeper till it reached my heart, which was like beating at lightspeed! It wasn't really painful, but it was bloody and traumatizing. Okay just kidding it wasn't, actually at that time, i even found it quite an interesting experience.

Then came chemo. Which was unbearable. Many people ask me what it feels like.. I used to say it was undescribable, but i found a nice analogy. If you have ever sat in one of those sampans, and got seasick, multiply that by about 4, plus the worst headache you have ever felt, multiply that by 10, and then play golf for 2 days nonstop, that would roughly be it.. There was even a point where you could feel you brain ratllling inside your head due to the lack of cerebrospinal fluid.

Of course in 2008 i learnt how to cook too, play pool better, and advanced my mathematical knowledge a little... I got closer to some friends, distanced from most, and played a hell lot of games.

2008 i saw how strong i was, how nice some people can be, how mean other people can be. It was not a good year for sure, but nonetheless it had its rewards, more of like lessons actually.

My new year resolutions.

To be happy.
To get into cjc.
To play pool every week.
To master abstract algebra.
To slim down 10kg.
To learn how to cook sambal kangkong.
To complete all my rpg's
To learn driving.
Not to let JC work take over my life like many other people.
To expand the TPA
To be a master.

hahahaha

One more year to grow, to mature, to reach out to the stars and chase our dreams.
