Decided to play soccer today after 3 days of non-stop horrendous mugging... I'm almost done with Biochem, but a huge obstacle needs to be tackled first, that is, Genetics. Both Prof Jeyaseelan's and Prof Denise Goh's lectures... What a great future lies ahead for me.

I learnt that when the weather is very unforgiving (which is to say, hot and humid), it's a very, VERY bad idea to wear the RI 2004 Sec 1 Orientation T-shirt. I think it's sort of a semi-polyester, semi-cotton shirt. Or maybe just polyester. Whatever it is, it's not jersey material, and it's not 100% cotton either. So not only did it not absorb the sweat I was producing, it managed to keep the heat IN the air between my body and the T-shirt material. Furthermore, it was black. The PERFECT colour when the sun is beating down on you.

As a result, I didn't feel like running at all. Like seriously... At all. Pretty bad for a player who uses speed as his number 1 weapon. Decided to play in defense after I didn't feel like running. Hahaha. I didn't score today... Came pretty close twice though. But "pretty close" doesn't count. Not just in this aspect of life...

Shuo Jie and I left early cos we were gonna catch a movie at 1910, but a pleasant surprise occurred when we looked at our phones and saw that Jon Teo called us several times each. He was allowed to book out for tonight! So we had a nice long dinner at Cafe Cartel at J8 while waiting for him... Then he came and all the magic tricks flowed... Hahaha. Shuo Jie and I were egging him on to go perform to this not-too-bad-looking girl sitting just opposite us, but he didn't have the guts :p (okay he's gonna whack me now), probably cos that girl was surrounded by a gang of many other girls O_O. He's fantastic, seriously. I don't think I'll be able to reach his level even if I try my very best.

We caught the movie "Vantage Point" at 2120... It's quite an interesting movie, with a very novel concept (at least to me). It shows an assassination + kidnapping attempt of the President of the United States in Spain through the eyes of the news team, the secret service agent who took a bullet for the President once before, a police man assigned to protect the mayor, an American civilian who was there on vacation and who videotaped the whole thing, a man who had had Special Forces training, blackmailed through his held-hostage brother to kidnap the President, the man who orchestrated it all, the President himself, and several others... If the movie were played front to back from the point of the shooting and bombing to the conclusion of the whole affair, it would have probably lasted around 15 minutes to half an hour. But because of the rewinding and showing of the many different viewpoints of the incident, it put pieces of the puzzle together, each time revealing something different and resolving it in another viewpoint of another person. It was pretty brilliant. Oh did I mention it has quite a sick car chase in it as well? My friends and I were all O_O at the agent's driving skills. I saw the trailer for this movie quite some time back, but I never found out the name for it. Kudos to Shuo Jie who recommended it.

The before-movie adverts played two trailers which kept me very interested. I hope I remember to catch "Superhero Movie" and "Street Kings"... "Superhero Movie" is a parody of Spider-man... It has all the classic parts of the Spider-man movies, plus other segments from Batman, Superman and so on... But the main parody is on Spider-man. Not surprisingly, the movie is by the makers of "Scary Movie" and so on... But the trailer was super funny, and the main actor is Drake Bell from the comedy on Nickelodeon, "Drake and Josh"! Haha... He's Dragonfly-man. Lolz.

The other movie, "Street Kings", stars Keanu Reeves as a dirty cop... I didn't really catch the main storyline for this, but one of the actors in it is HUGH LAURIE. Straightaway when I saw him, I was super interested. He's an exceptionally gifted actor and after watching House, I'd like to see him on the big screen as well. (Stuart Little 1 and 2 don't count, he had such a retarded role in them.) I'll see how the reviews put it when it comes out...

After the movie, I took the bus home... Didn't feel like sleeping on the bus 156 (which I normally do) so I just looked out the window... And thought about a lot of things.

Long, slow walks home are therapeutic. I don't understand why so many people are rushing to get their driving licences.

Sigh...

It's always like that...

You think you do pretty decently at first. Then so many people around you go "Oh shit my score is so shit it really sucks it's damn bad I'm so sad I'm crying I'm damn super upset I wanna kill myself I really should have done better I feel like crap I'm sure you did better than me how much did you get"

Then they get 99%. Or whatever the hell it is, they get higher than me.

How do you f***ing think that f***ing makes me feel man.

Got some really appropriate songs (or rather, skits) for this. Somehow it seems that whatever albums I get, there'll be some appropriate songs for me to use in relation to my life in that point in time. Maybe I should start buying happier-sounding albums...

Now beat that!
And your mother's sayin' "Go to college!"
So you finish college and it's wonderful
You feel so good
And after all the partying and crazing
And don’t forget about that drug habit you picked up at school bein' around your peers
Hey! Now you'll get that 25 thou job a year and
You'll spend all your money on crack cocaine, but it'll be your money
No more borrowin' from mom for my high
So now you get your degree tattooed on your back you're so excited about it
If you continue to work at the GAP, after several interviews, oh my god!
You'll come in at an entry level position and when you do that
If you kiss enough ass, you'll move up to the next level
Which is being a secretary's secretary!
And boy is that great, you get to take messages for the secretary
Who never went to college
She's actually the boss' niece, so now you're part of the family
You know what college does for you?
It makes you really smart man
All you kids want to talk in the back of the class, not me, I listened, okay?
I was a hall monitor, this was meant to be
You know how many classes I took, extra classes extra classes
No I've never had sex but you know what, my degree keeps me satisfied
When a lady walks to me says "Hey you know what's sexy?"
I say "No, I don't know what it is, but I bet I can add up all the change in your purse very fast"

You keep it going man, you keep those books rolling
You pick up all those books that you're going to read
And not remember and you roll man
You get that a sociate degree, okay
Then you get your bachelors, then you get your masters
Then you get your master's masters
Then you get your doctrine, you go man
And then when everybody says quit
You show them those degrees man
When everyone says, "Hey
You're not working, you're not making any money"
You say, "You look at my degrees and you look at my life
Yeah I'm 52, so what, hate all you want
But I'm smart, I'm so smart, and I'm in school
And these guys are out here making money all these ways
And I'm spending mine to be smart
You know why?
Because when I die, buddy, you know what's going to keep me warm?
That's right, those degrees"

"Lil' Jimmy Skit" by Kanye West

Hey Jimmy where you goin'?
I dont know where I'm going
My Dad died, and he left me his degrees
My mom would always say, "Dad, why don't you work?"
But he just kept learning
All the other kid's parents were working and saving up money for school
And I was actually in school all when my dad was in school!
He was so greedy with degrees, he took MY degree!
And now I'm just glad he left me these
Because all the regular homeless people have newspaper, and look what I have
These are documented
My father left them to me
And I'm going to leave them to my kids
I'm going to learn too
I'm going to get super smart, so I too can die without money
But I'll be the smartest dead guy
Who has that?

The feeling of playing in pouring rain is... Like having a sense of release... Of freedom. Of not having a care in the world.

I went back to RI to play soccer for the first time in about 1+ months... It was good to see all the guys again, and just play soccer without any worries. Somehow, with these guys, I don't feel the need to "prove" myself... Unlike playing with the M1 soccer team... I can just play for the heck of it you know? Making mistakes is okay, you won't die just cos you lose the ball... And with that worry eliminated... I guess it would make anyone a much better player. But that's what demarcates the better players from the average ones right, the ability to cope under stress... But I'm digressing.

Well halfway through the game it started to drizzle, then POUR... We were so gung ho that we just continued to play. The astroturf was flooded but still we continued to play... And it was fun, I tell you. Like I said, a sense of freedom, uninhibited release. Until the lightning came. Hahaha... Then it was a mad rush for shelter. :P

We spent some time in the shelter, trying to dry ourselves (all of us were DRENCHED), and complaining about how untimely the rain was, and blahblah... Some of the guys were crazy enough to go back out and kick the ball around, till lightning struck again, at which they ran like mad people back into shelter. Lolll. Quite funny.

I'm quite worried about my left knee... Nowadays when the weather gets cold, or when it's going to rain, the medial side of my left knee will start to hurt really badly... It's not like an ache or something... But a sharp pain that will come sporadically. Needless to say it gets worse when I play soccer, so well =\ I can't think of anything that I've done to it to make it like this though.

I scored twice again! Today I opened the scoring and closed it. Dunno why I can't hit hat-tricks but as long as I score, I'm happy.

After the match, Shuo Jie and I had dinner at J8's McDonald's, after that we just walked around, even checking out the not-so-new arcade at J8. There was a couple at the basketball game machine, they were like seriously quite sick. Everyone around was just looking at them! The girl was like a machine, shooting and shooting and getting most stuff in, but the guy was sicker. He was not even LOOKING at the basket, and he got an accuracy of 90%. O_O What do these people do in their spare time man...

We then went to Coffee Bean, where we sat, drank and chatted till 11 plus... I've missed talking to Shuo Jie like this man... Just sitting down talking about lots of stuff, ranging from BGR to comics to soccer etc... Most importantly we also share our problems and other concerns with each other. Even though we may not always have a solution for the other, but having a listening ear always helps... Shuo Jie is one of the few friends I have whom I can really talk to honestly.
________________________________________________________________________________________

I just got Kanye West's first two albums. After watching the MTV "Touch The Sky", I was quite taken in by his music. He takes themes from famous songs of the past and uses them as his motifs for his songs. Rather interesting. I like the lyrics for "Touch The Sky" a lot.

1+ months of studying + worrying + lack of sleep were all culminated into 3 short days of examinations (OK technically, around 5 hours, but spread over 3 days)... And then came the short, brief period of reprieve which some of us might feel that we deserve.

Okay I'm not gonna blog about a review of the examinations (Glori is gonna bash me, but who DOES that kind of stuff man O_O), but rather what happened post-examinations :P You know, we should always remember the fun times in our lives... Lolz. So my post can sort of be like a sequel to hers. Hahaha.

Straight after the physio paper (which ended at around 1100 - 1130), the Medicine Year 1 soccer team made a beeline for the handball/street soccer courts at SRC. It was raining when the paper started, but thankfully it had stopped by the time we had finished. Donning our soccer gear, we immediately started to play.

Most of us hadn't played for over a month. As expected, many of us were rusty and it was almost like "kampung" soccer at first. So we were losing balls, shooting wide, and mostly running into each other. Lolz...

Then my OG, who were on their way to the bus stop to catch a bus to Vivocity then Sentosa, decided to show up at the SRC, yelling my name at the top of their lungs. I didn't hear them at first, till one of the guys said, "Hey Han Yang, you've got a fan club!". Then I heard them. My reaction was like "Zomg O_O". They were all girls some more... Naturally I got a lot of stick from the soccer guys after that. Thanks a lot, girls. It didn't really help that I lost the ball and made a bad tackle in front of them, prompting Glori to say that I was trying to act cool... Thanks a lot. Seriously... First you malu me, then you, in the words of Girider, carry out an "unprovoked personal attack on me". Lolz. I hope they don't come and watch any future soccer games I play man. I don't have nerves of steel. Hence my unwillingness to sing/play instruments or sports in front of people... As in in front of a few people. In front of a crowd is OK, cos you can ignore them... Sigh. Sometimes I wonder how I'm gonna learn magic and pull it off convincingly like if I keep on getting nerve attacks like these...

The game wasn't too bad! We played for around 2+ hours and I scored twice (yes Zeying, you know what THAT means... :P) but I couldn't sustain enough stamina to grab my hat-trick :P Have yet to do that in NUS... But all in all, fun stuff. I seriously don't know what form of exercise I would do without soccer... Without soccer, like half my life is gone. Haha... Okay that's an exaggeration but you get the idea...

I managed to catch Alvin coming from the med board meeting about the new curriculum for future batches and so I hitched a ride in his car (making his seat sweaty and his car stink) to go to Sentosa to join the girls! Haha... Getting there was damn funny. Alvin assumed that they were at Siloso Beach, so he handed me the map and I topo-ed us there while he drove. Then as we were walking along Siloso Beach, he called one of the girls and found out that they were at Pelawan Beach. Lolz! So we hiked all the way there...

That afternoon at Sentosa was quite relaxing... We just sat around, sang songs, played guitar, (Glori was hogging the hammock), and when the hall people came, we played frisbee! Yes. I played 2+ hours of soccer before that and there I was playing frisbee soon after. I must have been crazy. Naturally, I didn't do much running :P Not to mention it's uber hard to run on a sand slope. We must have looked like we were having a lot of fun cos two guys from India asked us if they could join in... Hahaha.

After the soccer and frisbee I was positively aching all over, with a sunburn to boot. Okay I understand it looks bad but it happens ALL THE TIME. So relax... My skin is like that. I'm used to it. I'm used to people calling me red, lobster, and dunno what kind of nonsense la. So sometimes I get a little sian when people make such a big deal out of it... Lol. Like I've told so many people before, I'll probably die of hypertension (cos of my high salt intake) or skin cancer (cos of sun-ray non-resistant skin).

Well, we went to Secret Recipe at Vivocity for dinner after that... Their Chicken Cordon Bleu isn't half bad... As is their Green Apple Kasturi. Haha... Had a fun time just sitting there crapping and sharing food and stuff... After that Zeying and I left the group early to go home as the rest wanted to play arcade (but didn't do so in the end)...

I was feeling dehydrated, burnt, and pain all over by the end of the day... But it was fun.
___________________________________________________________________________________

Today I felt the after effects of all my extreme exertions of yesterday... Haha. I couldn't sleep past 9 for some reason (either my body was aching too much, my skin hurt too much from the burns or cos of my body clock... which incidentally never works the way I want it to) Then it was straight to the Xbox 360!!! Hahaha. Went out for lunch with my family after that at Jade Fullerton! That place never ceases to amaze me... They have wonderful service, with excellent food. Their codfish (the main dish) was so exquisite, so tender and soft... Good stuff. Then... It was back home and more Xbox 360-ing!!! Hahaha. Jon Teo and Shuo Jie asked me if i wanted to go out and club but I don't do that sort of thing and I was aching too much to move so oh well. I wanted to meet up with them though. Maybe tomorrow...

I have to do some more stretching before I sleep tonight if I'm gonna play soccer again tomorrow.

I think John Mayer and I live by the same virtues... Stuff like what he wrote in his two songs "Bigger Than My Body" and "Vultures" are stuff that I always think about whenever I reflect upon my life... Some lines are like answers I used in my Medicine interview... Lolz. He's like my inspiration.

This is a call to the colourblind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind the horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not my time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never to quite return

Yes I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Cause I'm bigger than my body now

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If a flame's what it takes to remember my name

Yes I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry
Wait for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body now

"Vultures" by John Mayer

Some of us
We're hardly ever here
The rest of us were born to disappear
How do I stop myself from being just a number?
How will I hold my head to keep from going under?

Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me

How did they find me here?
What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hiding right outside my door
I hear them whispering
They're tryin to ride it out
They've never gone this long without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up
I've got to leave this evening
I can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail
Power is made by power being taken
So I keep on running to protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do
When the world keeps testing me, testing me

It's been a long long long time coming... But I've got to say thanks to a few very important people in my life...

I stopped blogging for a period of time earlier this month (or coming online, as if anyone noticed or cared), because my computer crashed... It was a hard disk failure most probably due to overheating. I was devastated because if I lost the hard disk, I would've lost all my notes for medicine, all my music, but most importantly, all the pictures I had taken since I had gotten the laptop. Not to mention the portfolio I was attempting to build up.

So here's a million million thanks to my father, who basically retrieved most of the information from the hard disk and backed it up onto the desktop as well as an external hard disk... I tried to do it myself, but the way I did it was very inefficient and slow, and I got frustrated and angry most of the time, also because it was nearing exams, and I couldn't spend so much time trying a seemingly insurmountable task. Here's when my mom stepped in and calmed me down... and thanks so much to her as well... Because I would've basically broken down if my photos could not be retrieved. Without my dad and my mom, I won't be blogging this now.

I got half a smile and zero shame
I got a reflection with a different name
Got a brand new blues that I can't explain
Who did you think I was?

Every mornin' when the day begins
I make up my mind then change it back again
I'm a shifter of the shape I'm in
Who did you think i was?

You got my number but I always knew the score
Who did you think I was?

Am I the one who plays the quiet songs?
Is he the one who turns the ladies on?
Will I keep shinin' 'til my light is gone?
Who did you think I was?

You got my number but I always knew the score
Who did you think I was?

Here is a line that you will not understand
I'm half of the boy but I'm twice the man
Carry the weight of the world in the palm of my hand
Who did you think I was?
Who did you think I was?

"You'll Never Walk Alone"... who did you think I was?

When I am stressed, when I am sad, when I am disappointed, when I am lost, when I am frustrated, when I am apprehensive...

Music has always been there for me.

Don't get me wrong, my ambition in life was always to become a doctor. But if I had the talent, the exposure, the determination to strive in a career that is so underdeveloped in Singapore, I would lose myself everyday in the beautiful chords, the pounding bass, the awesome vocals, the flying guitar solos, the headbanging percussion...

All my worries, fears, sense of hopelessness... Would be washed away. And I would be lost forever, embraced in the arms of that that I pour my heart out to everyday.

Music truly is the Gift of God.

You'll rarely get to hear such a passionate solo.

Oh f@#%.

Nothing seems to be going the way I want it to.

Some things are just going in a so damn wrong direction.

Some things are just fading into the dust.

Nothing is progressing the right way.

Everything is going back to square one.

... Except those which are going in a oh so damn wrong direction.

Life.

What a fallacy.

Anger he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted
They quietly understand
The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready
But wonder why the fight is on

But they’re all, they're bold as love
Yeah, they’re all, they're bold as love
They’re all, they're bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes
Trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring
But its very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I'm trying to say it’s frightened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But I'm, I'm bold, I'm bold as love
Yeah I'm bold, I'm bold as love
I'm bold, I'm bold as love
Just ask the axis
He knows, he knows, he knows
He knows everything...

I'm bold, I'm bold as love
Yeah I'm bold, I'm bold as love
I'm bold, I'm bold as love
