With power comes responsibility, with passion comes pride.

Never again stand alone in this battle that never ends,

the only competitor worth your fear is yourself.

Don't ever step out of the field knowing that you didn't give your best.

This is the moment, this is our moment.

Let this moment begin, for souls are waiting to be enlightened.

And to be lead.

Sneak preview of the Air Jordan 3 retros.

Haha haven't updated in a while man! So much has happened this while, so much to say, so few oppotunities to say, and im speaking less and less. What an irony! I'm going to wish all of you guys a Happy Chinese New Year on this page and continue rocking in whatever your endeavours are. So many things have happened so far and it is really like "first times".. Stepping out to be a leader.. entering Pre-University Seminar, Buying my Air Jordan Sneakers, being independent, walking alone in paths of my life. Haha Life is very unfair, there are many times when you have to walk alone in this path..but you won't regret it at the end. This year i think i really stepped out of my comfort zone, highlighting my personalities, sharing my thoughts, my music, my game with all of you guys out there. I think most importantly i am more comfortable with a need for courage in many circumstances. If you dont want to regret in life, then put in your best effort in whatever you do.. it is something like i would rather regret doing it than not doing it haha. So many stuffs have happened and my life's more.. calm i guess, not so much of a roller coaster anymore. I won't call it dull but at least my life's peaceful and i'm looking out for each and every oppotunity for me to insert fireworks in it, prove myself to the world and so at least i've not lived for nothing for the past 17 years. Times past, people left and passed, but memories will last. I want to thank all the ones whom i love because you guys are the reason why i held on to my faith and did what i thought was impossible. I really appreciate stuffs like facebook and twitter because that really connected me to the other end of the world. I know i' ll be in for more tough challenges in time to come, it's a new chapter for my maturity and knowledge and i want it to be as loud as sforzando.

peace <3

As those of you who know or may not know, I am a considerable sentimental person. I don’t know whether it is beneficial to me or not but right now I’m saying that’s my Achilles heel. I really look into every single detail in feelings for something, somewhere, or even someone..it is just like when you are playing beethoven or Chopin, you can’t overlook every single dynamic detail in their music or you’re going to ruin it. There’s a stereotype about guys that they bleed more than they cry. That’s not true for me and im hating it. IDGAF who you are to me or how long you have known me, but as long as you did something for me or went through something with me, you’re added to my ‘Favourites’ List in my heart. I may appear indifferent about all this but it is just that I don’t show it on my face, I feel it using my heart and I remember every single detail so that I can do something for you given a chance next time because I am sentimental. I think the worst of it is that it makes it difficult to part with people. When my grandma passed away in 2009, I cried my heart out every single day till no more voice comes out. And now another good friend of mine is leaving me to somewhere with more hopes for the future. I think the reason why it is so difficult to part is because of what we went through together, the inside jokes that we laughed at, the times we spent witnessing changes together. All these years of memories, of laughter, of sadness and right now I’m going to walk all these paths we once walked together alone. That makes me really sad. When you look at me I may seem cheerful and sunny as a guy, but sometimes it is just me putting on a strong front in school because you know when you have friends who bang each other every single time when they meet, it’s quite difficult to feel alone and all that. But what I’m talking about is times when I’m alone, after all the busy rush hours in day time and memorizing formulae for physics and all that shit, you realize that you are back to your real self, you return back to your inner world. And what makes me hard to swallow is when you are tossing and turning in bed while the clock strikes 0000 and you just can’t sleep. Because somehow, SOMEHOW, those memories that gave you ripples and all that emotional shit comes back to you, those memories together with the person so important to you..a recollection of every movement you made with her. Be it as standard as in a style of a march, or as expressive as fortissimo, or as low profiled as pianissimo, as unprepared as semiquavers, or as solemn as a piano sonata, or as happy as Friska, or as romantic like Liszt or Chopin, or as unforgettable like fireworks, like finale in a Concerto, those memories somehow make your heart ache because you know that now you are left with ONLY memories and you don’t know what the future gives, you don’t know whether you’re going to meet your friend once again ever in your whole life or not. It is just .. fate I guess? I can’t live just on the memories and it is so difficult to forget, I don’t know what my music will be if I play it without you sitting beside me. I guess parting is a process everyone goes through in life and people handles their feelings toward it differently. To me, I find it so difficult to put down and let go. I know time may heal and as time passes, everything will be a thing of the past and you will look forward to the future, but it is the thought of not able to relive past memories , thought of not being able to see your love ever again in life makes me simply helpless, scared and sad. Sometimes crying makes me feel better but it is the feeling of being scared that shits me up. I feel so scared of it. I even went to great extents to fool myself that it is not going to happen, I avoided it. But fear has found me. I don’t know what life will be without you because that sentimental value was once my motivation and inspiration in life. I will learn to embrace life like how you did .. but without you this time. I don’t care what is going to happen in the future, but I really cherished everything in the past few years and I want to thank you for me so influential in my life. If not for you, I think I wouldn’t become of who I am today. I know there will be times when I will rewalk those paths alone, but im sure one day we will meet again. <3

chopin's etude op. 25 no.1 played by Lang Lang

I imagined Chopin as a handsome man, a movie idol, who always sought a love he could never find. I saw him crying as he sat at his piano and wrote those heartbreaking melodies. ♥

Yup, at this point in the 21st century where everyone's all hyped up with pop and rock music, i fell in love with classical music. I know many people has stereotyped against classical music, just because it is classical they think that it is boring and so not my type. Hell yeah that was what i thought too..but my passion towards the piano made me fell in love with classical music, and that made me appreciate life more. the reason why i love it so much because of those different structures and styles you have from different composers, just like different genres in movie contexts. Playing Beethoven's music, i saw him as a serious man without any smiles on his face, just like batman. Playing chopin , it is astounishing to realize and relive life's greatest sins in that 7 mins of playing as if the sins were commited by you. Mozart's playful and each new section and bar of music he gives you a surprise, just like the monkey king or transformers which had lots of tricks up their sleeves. Playing bach is playing into the fundamentals of music, when you play bach you will learn new music, legit. I think what separates classical music from pop music is classical music is permanent, but pop lasts for only a century unless your world is made up of 2 billion michael jacksons. i think my love towards classical music is also due to my character , i always wanted to be retro, and reliving classical music brings me back to the past to relive life experienced by composers of 1800s and give me an idea of what love is, happiness is, sadness and grief is in that time. Now i know why pianists can spent 7 hours at once anchored to the piano, because it is like watching a movie, when you let the music flow through from within yourself and the piano, that music is magical because it paints images like film rolls back to the past for you to see. Haha and yeah im not discriminating pop music, i love pop music as well, i love MJ, i love Jay Chou and i love songs like "Poker face" and "Baby". But classical has a touch that pop doesnt gives.

haha its christmas eve. Love the lights and love the ambience.

to be a pianist, you use your fingers. But to be a true pianist, you use your mind.

Nike Zoom air.

I've figured out that I won't change for the sake of changing. At this stage i thought i need to take care of what is meaningful to me so that i can see myself as a whole new person in the mirror , but is it worthwhile? I won't forget people who are so dear to me because i really appreciate everything. i Just hope that i am able to live my life in more depth, because you can't control other person's oppotunities, but you can grasp your own.

2010-12-06T07:08:00.000-08:00

I got a new pick up it's the Nike Sb's which are the Kevlar's special edition nike dunk skateboards ^^ it's a beautiful shoe and features new bulk material all over the shoe as well as a zoom air bag at the heel, hit it up on my facebook!

Sometimes i wonder what happens when you realize your dream, will you feel contented or will that empty feeling grow on you again? It will always remain true and beautiful and that makes you puttin' in some serious effort to step closer, but the more you are going to reach it, step inside that world, the further it goes away from you and transform you into a boy lost in the middle of Wall street, being invisible to the onlookers. Funny thing is, the more disappointed you feel, the more you think that it is unjustified and you fight for yourself. But what gives? is it the pure sincerity that sources from your blood? or the want to surpass yourself and prove yourself to the others? Everyone's in your life for a reason and a purpose, each and everybody is there to give you a hint, praise you, critisize you, sympathize you and even give you inspirations and motivations. But what really gives? Yourself? or the others?

2010-11-24T06:52:00.000-08:00

Haven't really blog for a long long time! haha just like 24 seconds on the shotclock, i'm making good use of every single one of the 24 hours i have to build up on my confidence and self esteem.
i realized that you'll lose yourself when you don't have any goals in mind, especially at times where everyone's going ahead of you. And the most scary part of it is that you'll even neglect people's love for you and that's unfair. To me the trick of regaining your own status is to work on your strengths and what makes you feel good. Because no one in the world is perfect, there will always be people better than you, or be worst than you. At the same time there is no exact definition to 'what is better' because although other people may be better than you in an aspect, but hey check this out, i've a trick up my sleeve than you can't do it. That's my point, Kobe bryant represents basketball, but he doesn't have the brains of Mark Zuckerberg.
Damn it, i realized that sometimes i can't rely on other people. Not that i don't want, but sometimes is i can't. I thought relying on the others could give you results that depending on yourself can't give you. But it doesn't work. When you have 3.0 seconds left on the shotclock and you have possession, will you go for the game winning shot or look for a pass?
See, this is a matter of trust.
Go figure (;

2010-11-07T07:24:00.000-08:00

I missed you every single day.
i missed how you prepared breakfast, lunch, dinner for me
i missed how you spoke up for me
i missed how you bathed me
i missed how much you love me
i missed how you held my hand
i missed how warm your hug was
i missed how selfless you are
i missed how sacrificial you are
i missed how nomal you wanna be and how extraordinary you wanted me to be
i missed how you stood by me
i missed how you accompanied me though the darkess nights
i missed how you consoled me over the phone
i missed how elated you were on seeing me
i missed how sad you were when we separated for the last time.
As much as i want to go back to the past, i want you to come back
i know what ever i do now is fertile,
i know our memories was your legacy for me
i feel helpless and senseless without you, still
but i know i can pass your love down
i miss you every single day for the year
Although i put on a strong front, my heart is breaking down
i know you will always love me
i miss you.
i always will.

2010-10-25T05:14:00.000-07:00

Haven really updated in a long time yeah?
hahah i think i have a new commitment in life. It feels like you're returning to your parent's warm hug and that arterial burst of love just flows like rain.
Oh man, i really don't know what to say because i don't know how to express that feeling out from your heart totally, like you can really only experience it from your heart and no one can share that feeling with you.
LOL i sound like i'm talking in rhymes but ohwell, school's coming to an end and i think this year has been really great for me, be it academically or aesthetically. I did what i should and i earned what i deserved. times where we shared happiness together, shared laughter or maybe even world depression, but we still made it till the end. I really put a lot of effort and thoughts into my life to make it "perfect" so that i will leave no regrets. Haha actually many of the times, i rather have courage to commit a mistake than not doing it at all. I think its just a matter of whether you want your life to be colourful or not because be it good or bad, all these parts and parcel make up our memories and its all those little areas of imperfectness that make everything seem perfect. I realized that i had a lot a lot of chances previously, to try out new stuffs, but i didn't have the courage to attempt. But at least for now i know that as long as i live life meaningfully and walk the correct path, i can still watch the fireworks at the end (:

2010-10-13T06:37:00.000-07:00

People just don't get to see what happens in the Backstage, they can't see all the efforts you put in and all of your thoughts. They don't understand a single bit, and all they do is present you with criticism that brings you to nowhere.

2010-10-11T07:22:00.000-07:00

yeah Looks like the stress-free days are finally back huh ^^
Haha the past 2 months was really crazy for me. Every single second was perseverance, determination, self discipline and all that. There were times i wanted to give up, i felt so helpless and i thought i couldn't take it anymore haha. But then, i looked at myself and i thought of the consequences, and all the "what ifs" and " Could have" and "should haves" haha, i don't wanna leave any regrets for myself and i told myself that i wouldn't be beaten so easily. I don't know man, maybe this is my character. The more difficult things can get, the more i wanna prove myself and the more i want to prove the others wrong. Till the end, everyone's on the same starting line and i'm not the only one alone! haha thats my call, that's everyone's call. Don't ask me where i get this optimism from, since we can't change the world, we simply change ourselves.
Man, i don't know what uncertainities lie infront of me, senior high sounds fun but real hectic and maybe its time for a change, to make my world a better place, to accommodate for my own shortcomings as well as the others' shortcomings.
haha what ever that happens, my faith goes on.
Stay safe everyone!

There comes to a point when you miss someone so much,

you hear their voices echoing in your mind, you see their faces with a smile at every single second.

You saw them in your dreams and wished it was an eternity.

You wished that tears could flow to cover up for your awkwardness, your nostalgia.

And then go back to the happy times, the world that only belonged to us.

2010-10-08T08:16:00.000-07:00

YES EOYS ARE OVER!
Omg the last 2 months was as hell as really hell and i don't even dare to think about it man.
Its really a lot of self discipline. I went home directly after school and then studied non stop till 12am without taking any breaks. Serious.
haha i think the papers were quite okay, at least i ended up this hella period of time on a good note:D Urgh, i don't wanna think about anything else, i was so deprived haha. I guess its a good time for lots and lots of basketball and lots of lots of music :D

2010-09-12T08:10:00.000-07:00

Mugger's back. Haha have been working hard lately, i'm giving EOY everything i've got.

Surname + Kobe Bryant's signature :D

Haha sorry for the lag! these were from the aerodynamics workshop which i attended last week, for YDSP's aerodynamics module. Its seriously too good to be true i guess, really an experience where i felt that my dream has come true, going one step closer to aerodynamics and building my own aircraft from pure wood. Haha and the most memorable thing was that it could really glide. Man, that does come easy! haha i sawed and sanded the wing down so much to give it an airfoil and streamlined shape :D

Zoom Kobe 4 Splatter editions.

Like what kobe Bryant wore in match :D haha this is respect <3>

On a side note,

Open Microsoft Word and do the following (TRY THIS FOR REAL)

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS 1.

See for yourself.

2010-08-29T08:41:00.000-07:00

Haha Beautiful shine on the clouds during sunset! Haha East Coast Park BBQ.
My Playoff 4s & purple laces.

Damn it, i flipped my Calender and there's like 30 more days left to exams. I'm really tired and exhausted both mentally and physically. Right now the only motivation that gets me back on my feet is that sense of achievement when i finish studying a topic or so. Haha its like becoming a routine and habbit now. The first thing i do after i woke up is to put a note in my phone of what i'm gonna complete that day:
Study Bio 2 topics
Chiong Physics EMI+ Force on carrying conductor
Chiong whole of Organic Chem
Practice Maths Area under the curve and TRIGO
etc...
I'm getting just more and more tired. I just don't have time.
Althought i put 95% of my day into Studying, but sometimes in the middle i get so cramped up that i feel like just giving up and done it through. Its always that overcome-yourself mindset that puts me back on work. Now i really really really really cherish fridays alot man. Because friday is the only day that i can totally relax and loosen out, not rushed for time, not having any burdens to burge me. Thats actually the only time i can really take a good look of myself in the mirror and enjoy a good game of basketball. It doesn't matter anymore if my field goals are 0/10 or i give all airballs. I dont care, as long as i get to take a break and enjoy the wind at the court i'm more than satisfied. Arghh i just so tired T.T
I just hope everything turns out fine and everyone's good.
Nothing beats being at ease man ):

2010-08-27T07:30:00.000-07:00

~Year 2 ): Haha i looked so noob omg, with my converse all-star originals (:

My fav :D My passion for piano has never been so great before. I actually only realised this year that this instument's gonna stay with my for life. I'm sure that i want a life filled with music, because music is powerful, it can make peace, it can heal, it is meaningful and it represents.

Aerodynamics <3>Young Defence Scientist Program. Actually, i'm still grateful to Agnes (in picture) for giving me this oppotunity haha, i remembered i went for the Quantum Mechanics interview, and i dont know why i actually talked about aerodynamics in that interview and then Agnes was informed by the 2 interviewers that i'm more apt for other fields, and so, i have aerodynamics. I'm a huge fan of flying man, i don't know the reason why but it just captures my heart. i can't say for sure what implications it will have on my future, but right now i'm going to make use of all this knowledge that teaches me on something i love, to create a chance for myself (:

2010-08-22T07:38:00.000-07:00

Hey world! haha i know im like spending 95% of my time studying but i will still dedicate my time here. Lol the reason i open up a blog is to let people gain some insights, regardless of whether is it applicable to you or not, you'd learn something. Haha, its kinda rude when people come with hopes to your blog and what they see is still the previous post. Haha i apologise for that really. Man, exams are coming really soon already the least i wanna do is to count down but at least i have to acknowledge that it is a fact, and i'm all ready to go through it. For a period of time, i felt really scared by the thought of it, but now, i'm prepared, no more fears, no more anticipating, i'm just going to make the best out of it and kick some asses :D I think the best thing about studying is that you wouldn't feel scared when you stare at the exam question without any answers coming up in the head, and what you can do is to look at time pass and get nervous by every second. While putting studies aside, i think piano and basketball has been dope all this while. I think piano's the best creation in the world man, nothing beats that. I would't say piano's the best musical instrument, but piano is something that let your feelings flow. I'm not sure whether its the same for you a not, but whenever i'm on it, time passes by just so fast. And it contains all your emotions, goes through ups and downs with you. There's no boundaries to music, because real music sources from the bottom of your heart. Every piece has a story behind it, a feeling behind it. When you can feel the atmosphere, know the inspirations behind the piece by just listening to it, that's what i call real music.

Zoom Kobe 4 Playoff editions, with my name ^^

The Ticket. For Life <3

Another look: Zoom Kobe 5 usa editions after the rain.

Ok looks like the time i spent here's getting real little. End of year's coming and i think i'm going to start my revisions like real soon! I can't believe i studied for 7 hours straight today. I know you don't believe it as well, but its true. I'm getting the hang of it already, once i grasp my rhythm, there's no stopping till i finish what i want to study for the day <3>

Haha but i just can't grasp the rhythm of life i guess..i just can't seem to do what i want, can't hear what i want to hear, can't see what i want to see. Sometimes life's full of doubts and discrepancies, and my efforts to make the best out of it does not really meet up to expectations.
Beyond my vision ... My Faith continues <3

2010-08-13T08:05:00.000-07:00

Special day today! :D

2010-08-10T07:48:00.000-07:00

Haha beautiful things are so short lived, but i believe it stays in your heart forever and ever
I know i haven been updating much of late and i apologise for that. I don't open a blog and let it be dead, i think that's kinda impolite to people haha. So, the past few days of holiday..The only thing i remembered doing is studying =\ there's like 50 more days to EOYs and i dreading everybit of it. So now i'm gonna to study real hard so that i'd be able to transform this fear into motivation. I dont wanna feel scared when teachers start giving stress in school, nor do i want to be lagging behind schedule. But, the good thing is, i've been managing my life well. At least i leave a percent of my time for basketball and music (:
Actually, to come to think of it, when you study real hard, you get to reward yourselve at least an afternoon of fun and you can really put your heart into having fun, and not thinking of the "could haves" or the "should haves". So i am really looking forward to fridays now. 6 days of extreme mugging= half day of extreme balling. Worthy? Worthy to the max. Honestly speaking, i dont lack anything in my life, i have 6 pairs of Kobe Bryant Basketball shoes, that's more than enought to keep me motivated to work hard.
LETS DO IT!

Looks like this is a hybrid between 3M and speckles huh :D

2010-07-26T06:26:00.000-07:00

This is where you experience purely true happiness. <3

Nothing beats this and nothing can be compared to this. I believe only true fans who went to concerts will understand how i feel. Lol, i didn't know one could actually cry due to overwhelming happiness till then.

JAYCHOU THE ERA SINGAPORE TOUR 10'
I have nothing but thumbs up to the end, simply stunning.
I swear, this is the best concert i've ever watched so far.
this one concert, reminisced 10 years worth of memories, music, inspiration and happiness.
I know i have other idols like Michael jackson, Kobe Bryant, or Maksim.
But Jaychou's my First, that's the difference. The First will always be with you till the end and that is what leaves the greatest imprint on your heart and mind.
<3

I can feel..the way people spell L.O.V.E

2010-07-23T08:19:00.000-07:00

Just phenomenal. I have nothing to say but all my heart for this guy. Haha i am definitely not a gay, its just my childhood idol. I listened to his songs when i was just a primary school kid. You know people say things that happen to you during your childhood leaves the deepest print on your memory and heart? This is it, only Jay Chou can bring me back to the past. I grew up with his music, i learned through his music, i picked up the piano because of him. I remembered i saw him sing in person 2 years back and i teared. I really don't know how to describe this feeling haha, all of you knows the feeling of watching your idol perform. Just like When Michael jackson performed, thousands below cried from those arterial burst of love from within. This is exactly the same thing! yeah, no number of Kobe bryant shoes can replace watching jay chou live. its phenomenal and it changes everything.
Haha Jay chou The Era concert tmr, i have tickets and i just can't wait.

Night out~

I joined the Dunman High-Kang Chiau exchange taiwan buddy programme in '08.

And then, yesterday, i received a phone call from my buddy!

He said, " Hey are you Sitong? i'm your buddy 2 years back, i'm in singapore, wanna meet?"

haha and here we are, 2 years later.

I really didn't expect this, simply phenomenal.

2010-07-16T08:01:00.000-07:00

Hey! happy weekends! haha enjoy the pictures (:
All the pictures are taken by me, 100% authentic.
Trust.

Something i brought to the lenses this week! haha Kobe Bryant 4 rings tee and a....Pink Panther for class photoshoot! Haha yeah if you all have noticed, i brought my zoom kobe 4s to the photoshoot last year. Was thinking of doing that again but then i thought to myself, Hey! Don't always do the same thing, be different from the others, be the change ^^
School desktop.
The heel cup. With Kobe Bryant's signature.
Flywire, Carbon threads extending from the shoe. I bet you can't find this on yours. ;P

2010-07-11T02:37:00.000-07:00

One, Two, Three, Four, 5!
The Silver Kobe Bryant signature on the heel cup is so hot!
haha ok i think i haven been on blogger for quite long and now i even forgot how to start a post HAHA.
Anyway, school's good for me so far. I'm enjoying the lessons, enjoying the problems-solved, enjoying
Studying sessions, enjoying the peace, enjoying the atmosphere in every corner. Yeah the good thing is that as year end approaches, the sense of purpose for me to do well in my study is ever more prominent than before. Haha have you guys ever experienced this? Be it LA or chinese, or biology, when you transform all your ideas and inspirations into an answer, isn't that cool? I always have that sense of achievement when i am able to answer a question because i studied for it. Sounds so damn cliche..but honestly this is what keeps me going though, make me hungry for more. Haha everyone's having time management problems, no time for that, no time to study for it, no time to even sit down and chew. So far i guess i'm making good progress for term 3, striking a balance between Basketball and studies and of course music! I think i'm really enjoying this lifestyle, when life gets hard, i'll just devote myself like totally into studying. Haha when life gets good, i'll spent like 6 hours straight on basketball or piano. yeah play hard work hard this is dope!
Haha, i think my biggest obstacle in my life is...like when you have a reason, but you can't say it out to stop what's going on around you that you don't really like it. This feel sucks ttm! when people respected your choice, you have to respect the others back by showing responsibility towards your choice, but what if...you are forced not to? Haha i have so much to say and so many explanations, but i don't know why, my mouth just keeps shut when i have the chance to express it. Be it self Denial or lack of courage, i think regardless of what happens, it is good to follow your heart and make the best out of everything you do <3>
I saw this sunset on the way home from school...Absolutely stunning and brilliant.

Can you spell B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L?

Hahaha the world's just too awesome 8)

ZOOM KOBE 4 "Gold Medal" Editions,
the basketball shoe that started my Kobe-ness. Haha actually i love his game more than i love his shoes, but its really cool having Kobe Bryant in the designing process of his shoe and giving inspirations. Woah, i'm totally dead beat from 6 hours of video editing and stuffs, it made me realized how difficult it is to piece together a good film though.
Haha hope this week runs well for everyone ^^

2010-07-03T03:06:00.000-07:00

I walked into the Nike flagship store at Orchard wisma atria today and i tried on these,

Nike Zoom Kobe 5 'USA'. This pair shall be my number 6 :D

2010-07-02T06:38:00.000-07:00

Urgh i think i'm on my period or something, everything's just not right.
I dont really know what's wrong, i've been getting ____ dreams for the past few nights and i don't dare to close my eyes again because i don't want to see myself in hell or face my greatest fears for once again. idkwts is happening furreal, and having spent 2 straight afternoons waiting for the dark sky to clear up for basketball is really a torture. I really hate it man, its like you've finally fought an oppotunity for yourself and then its gone the next sudden, and you waste your life away pinning your hopes on the "What ifs". I thought i could finally relax a lil after so much hardworking, and then have some fun, but then everything is happening the reverse.
I will be fine..

2010-06-26T07:53:00.000-07:00

Yeap, this is dusk! haha sometimes its good to really put down everything, take off things from your mind and feel the city beat. Thats how i feel the rhythm of my life heheheh. OK my point is that i don't spent on my time on books and stuffs, its just my way of life and sense of purpose that keeps me all hyped up for being good at everything. Or at least somethings ^^
School's starting real soon and i thought my holidays just started or something. Haha sometimes i feel as if i'm on a period or something, everything's just not right urgh, like you can't really fit your mood into the situation and you have to make the best out of whatever you have. i think i just fear that when all the stress starts coming in suddenly you just feel so lost that all the confidence you have built up over so long come crashing down on you in a split second. Haha and you can only help yourself, no one else will. Heheh i hope next semester will be a good one for me, ok more of a smooth one i rather. I've got a real big oppotunity to realise my dream of being involved in aerodynamics (thanks to YDSP), got a whole lot of stuffs to learn and study for, and of course i ask myself how can i contribute to the people around me. It will be a tough one for me, but everyone's going through the same thing, the only difference you can make is to have a heart for it. Like Basketball, it's more than a game..there's friendship, respect, understanding for one another and of course your own expectations. Its everywhere. i'm gonna to be a child at heart forever, or else nothing is fun and you get your happiness from no where at all.
Lol so yeah, its really interesting how people can have a good life without making efforts.
Haha Good luck for term 3, i have a feeling that it will be dope to the max, just wait and see!

Peace! <3

'Michael was so special, he was so different, he was so unusual. He was so loving, he was so caring, he was a father, he was also a mother, he was a brother. He was a giving person.the talent that was there and the love that exuberated from him when you were around him is something that will be greatly missed, especially by those like myself and my family who really knew the real Michael.'
-Latoya Jackson

In this world everything happens for a reason, but what is the reason behind his death?

Why did it happen? This remains to be unanswered, but i believe his legacy, his music, will be passed on to many many many more generations after us. Like Chopin was born for Piano, Michael Jackson was born for his music, to change this world to make it a better place, to show the world who the man in the mirror really is.

R.I.P - one year anniversary 25th June 2010.

Kobe bryant,

Most Valuable Player of twenty ten.

2010-06-19T00:11:00.000-07:00

Yeah, my inspirations! Kobe Bryant and some classical music. I think the main difference between classical music and pop music is that classical music appeals to all ages, and it never fades. The reason why i think classical music is dope because it is still here even after 200 or 300 years, that's the reason. People now still learn from Chopin, the Musical Poet, play his nocturnes for their love ones under the dim light, and We still see musican performing works of Franz Liszt, Mozart, Beethoven. Haha That is why i think piano is dope, it can became magical under the touch of a passionate pianist. Check out this piece Widmung or Dedications written by Robert schumann and transcripted by franz liszt. Its romantic haha. Go youtube.
So yeah, success is 35 percent hardwork, 20 percent chance, 10 percent character, and 35% "with a heart". Music has no boundaries and it lasts as long as the universe will.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haha congrats to Los Angeles Lakers for winning their 16th NBA championship title.
they were losing behind as much as 13 points in the 1st to 2nd quarter, but they didn't give up and then some magic happened. Haha I think Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player in NBA history apart from Michael Jordan. 5 rings!
Yeah, i decided to rock out with a '4-rings' Kobe Bryant momemto T-shirt specially designed by NIKE to commemorate Kobe bryant's 4th championship title last year.

Peace! <3

2010-06-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

Curiosity...

check out the streets of china!

Haha there's some antiques which really bring us back to time of war

check out the mushroom shaped cloud! haha anw the piece of metal you see lifted up on the wing of the plane is known as flaps to disrupt air flow over the wing so as to slow the plane down :D

This was in..the Italy Pavillion of the Shang Hai expo. Ohmyman look at that, vertical orchestra? you're kidding me! And that's a real playable piano!haha cool dimensions ^^

Yeap, a grand piano at the italy pavillion, what a waste to display only ):

Click to enlarge! i was watching game 4 of the NBA finals 2010 while waiting to board my plane.

Tmr will be the last match which will decide whether kobe gets his 5th ring. GO lakers, bring out the michael jordan in every basketball player!

LOL it took me at least 20 tries to get this shot done. Cool uh?

I actually put my shoes on display when not worn. haha of course i clean them till brand new personally. that's my attitude, for my passion.

ZOOM KOBE 5 CHAOS, with my new basketball :D haha yeah shooting guard, that's Kobe Bryant's position.

ZOOMKOBE5S OMG. I don't see all this in singapore. Each colourway is dope, but check out the price (click to enlarge), its 1298 rmb without discount, that's about $265 dollars here. Way too expensive for me urgh. ZK5s sell for $169 here only :D

Here's my next basketball shoe. ZOOMKOBE5 team USA. Way too dope!

haha not much of an inspiration today, but what gives me that greatest content from my passions is when you really get to do it yourself and taste your success. I can't resist my hunger for pushing myself more because only when you are doing what you love, you know what is the true feeling of C-O-N-T-E-N-T. Haha like me, i finally found the piano score i wanted so much after 6 weeks, and now i'm left with the last segment of music to complete it. :D

Peace!

2010-06-14T09:03:00.000-07:00

haha i figured out i would post some pictures everyday to save the trouble of posting all few hundred at once yeah! At some times i thought to myself that there are certain things that are not worth my sarcifice, but why is it always at the end then i realize the significance and importance of making the right choice then?

2010-06-12T01:59:00.000-07:00

好久不见!

一直以来为自己的理想而拼搏, 现在才发现自己最大的推动力是简简单单的两个字---快乐。

最单纯的快乐是靠自己去争取的。经过这个假期我才明白了快乐不需要被见证，而最重要的最有意义的却是你争取快乐的那一个镜头，不管你为别人付出多少，为自己付出多少，只有自己去经历才能够了解你自己。不要怕别人笑你，无论多少的讽刺，下一幕的辉煌和感动就靠你对自己的肯定。不管对别人多么依恋，篮球投不进，弹钢琴音不准，我坚持我自己的风格。人生如棋，棋如人生，我不走寻常路，下我自己的人生。哈哈烟花易冷，人事易分，我所谓的快乐还不完整，只因少了一个亲人在身旁－－－－－－

2010-05-28T04:14:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah i'm leaving Singapore for Shanghai tmr for world expo before heading home* :D
So i figured that i should do with a short update here before i leave.
Well Term 2 ended before i knew it.
Semester 1 came and went.
To me it has be a fruitful one at least, i reached my goals and i devoted myself alot to my passions, whether is it towards practicing piano or playing basketball. And when the urge comes, i will study my subjects with a heart, at least it brings out that sense of purpose which makes my
life more meaningful as a student. Nonetheless, i think this semester ended with some fond memories because i really dedicated a lot to my passions. I remember i often sneaked in to the auditorium, turned on the mike and start playing on the half-dead piano even if i was going to be late for class, haha i think boys should always dare to take risks and push themselves beyond limits at times dont you agree? And whether rain or shine i will always be at the basketball court, even though at times basketball can get tough, or i fail and fail to try to achieve breakthroughs for myself, but my attitude and altitude towards basketball is always there, that's what keeps me going. i find that the greatest motivation for myself is not the want to score or out of pure amateur interest, but it is the fear that one day i suddenly find that my passion towards it fades, the fear of unable to overcome my mental block on the court. Haha like NBA, everything on the court can be sacrificial but belief. i can sense my willpower to out-do myself, i belief in myself and that's everything to it that i can say. Haha like real life, it is at that precise moment that determines everything. At that millisecond you have to make that choice, you have to give your best even if circumstances does not allow. That is the courage and self belief that basketball gives me and i think this is for life.
haha this is the world i belong to, each of you have different goals and interest in life, whether is it sane or insane you all have the right to work on it and in no time you will find yourself in a world that truely belongs to you. the significant thing is to follow your heart and adhere to your own principles, at times we all have to take a step back and give in and set ourselves limits. I think that is no way you can understand yourselve better other than the process of getting back on your feet after a bad bloody nasty fall haha. So yeah i hope term 3 will be a better term for me to excel and more oppotunities for me to prove my abilities, and make the right decision that not only changes my own fate, but other people's life as well.
Till the end, strangers are just family that you have yet to know right :D
Have a good holiday guys,
With love.

*back on the 11th.

Haha basketball shoes. from left to right, weichia and sitong.
When design meets technology. That's the sparkle and shine you will get (:

" Even when the curtains are drawn, the applause never fades, just like the smiles from my parents when I have achieved my goals. They serve the purpose not only to motivate me even harder, but also inspire me and bring out the meaning in my life. This is something I am proud in terms of academics and where I am truly happy to be at. "
Hahah an excerpt from my portfolio :D
I came up with this equation :

Passion = Interest + hard work & commitment/ Devotion
haha no matter who you are or what status you have in life,
we all have the choice to believe in ourselves and open our hearts to this world,
it just depends on your perspective.
But one thing remains the same no matter what happens, that is our faith towards our affections.

with love.

Haha yeah finally back from OBS camp, just a short one before i go :D
Well, so what's so memorable and special about this camp?
Honestly to tell you the truth, i was swearing and cursing throughout the whole camp LOL. But now back at home and reminiscing back on the 5 days, it made me realized that everything was worthwhile and at least it was definitely memorable. This camp actually allowed me to achieve breakthroughs, to reach a height i've never reached before. It made me push myself to beyond my limits to find a world that i thought never did exist, haha how funny it is though i really thought i can't do it. There are many times i just want to let go of everything, i got really tired of it and i just want to find a place and hide inside to protect myself and let my attitude show. But then i reminded myself to compromise, one step at a time, persevere. If you need to bite on your teeth and let your sweat drip into your eyes, just do it. Through all this self emotional control and experiences i really grew alot in terms of character. I used to rely a lot on myself and not depend on the others, but through this 5 days i fully understood the meaning of teamwork. Haha and all my camp mates have a role to play as well, they are like a mirror reflecting my aces and shortcomings, i can see where am i lacking in especially in terms of attitude and character. Yeah i am not going to talk about the activities, everyones' experience is different but yet in each of your world, we make the best out of it and then it becomes a fairytale. Kayaking was dope though i thing that's the only thing i loved (:
Anyway, i'm greatful to all of you who made it possible for me to survive through, its no big deal but i guess there is more significance to the events, experiences, comments that we had through out. One comment does make a difference, it may give you inspiration, give you motivation, give you the strength and determination to push on and that is when it sparks your character and bring out who you really are. Haha from your faces, your smiles and your eyes, i can step myself into your shoes and feel what you are feeling, to share woe and happiness together. I think that is what made all of us bonded together and survived together.
There are areas i really need to change for the better and i know myself,
but i don't need to change my personality and perspectives because that is what that make me who i am today. -.*
For i am Ding Sitong.
Man this camp made me how impt good shoes are seriously. Imagine wearing a pair of SOLELESS trackshoes with just a piece of 5 mm cloth below and soaking it in the sea with your feet on for 10 hours, and the best thing is that you have to wear it again the next day with it smelly and wet and sandy. T.T
Haha this is the second thing i got immediately after OBS. i just put down all my luggage and ran down my house the next millisecond.

Okay this post is real dope, the camp was dope, the after-camp-food was dope,but mum's even more dope.
Happy birthday mum. <3

2010-05-21T19:26:00.000-07:00

Yeap, the first thing i went to get after Obs camp is to collect my Jay Chou album :D
Music is just like a vampire, it never gets old and it never dies.

"天亮了　雨下了　你走了　　
清楚了　我爱的　遗失了　　
落叶飘在湖面上睡著了　　
想要放　放不掉　泪在飘　
你看看　你看看不到　
　我假装过去不重要　
却发现自己办不到　　
说了再见　才发现再也见不到　　
我不能就这样失去你的微笑 "

---<说了再见>

2010-05-15T21:13:00.000-07:00

Ok i figured out that before i go for level camp next week i should do a post here haha, or else i''ll gradually develop that habit of not wanting to post anymore haha. But whatever things we do in live it should be natually, come from out hearts and not 'doing for the sake of doing' as cliche as it sounds haha, most of us are doing that unconciously. Well CS concert was great ttm! haha what touched me was the ending part, although curtains were drawn already but we all went up to give hugs and kisses heheh. Its quite emotionally for most of them since it may be the last year of performance for them haha. I can understand that feeling of parting with something, or someone you love. No doubt it is the most difficult choice ( do we have a choice)to make in life, when you have to part with the person so important to you, when you know that you may not see their smiles again, or even hear their voices, this is the most heartbr-aching and painful feeling you can ever have as a human, its so untolerable that you can swallow it at all. Like when you see the person you love walk away from you and slowly watching her get out of your sight, or when the greatest MJ passed away, or when your love one leaves you and never comes back again.
There comes a point where you miss someone so much that you can hear their voice echo in your head & you can hear the names that they used to call you; the words they used to tell you. You memorized their laugh, their smile & their ways. You can also feel their arms around you & you don’t want to let go even though you know that it’s just an illusion. You knew that looking back on the tears would make you laugh but you never knew that looking back on the laughs would also make you cry. And all you would want is to go back in time.
I believe all of you has experienced this before.
And the only thing you can find comfort in, is to reminisce on those memories, nothing else.
Life has its ups and downs, but life is fair. I want to thank all those who went through so much with me in this period of time, be it happy or sad times, i love you all !
SHOUTOUT TO JOANNE LEE! :D

i guess i'll repost some pictures too, classic(:

Music is undying, it never fades in this world. Pop music is a transpositon of this century, classical is permanent its always a legacy of some of the greatest composers.

Most imptly, 学音乐的孩子不会学坏<3

Trust.

number 24 is dope, check out his shoes! playoff Nike zoom Kobe 4s,

i love nike :D
Chaos' are just beautiful pairs.

So this is me, with my passions, my inspirations, my life, and my perspective.

I love you all. <3

2010-05-14T06:41:00.000-07:00

Yeap guys, the 1st semester of school has finally more or less came to an end.
School's not too bad for me haha, it has its happy and sad times, just like everything has its up and downs. I think in our teenage life its really about pursuing your goals, pursuing your passion. Believe it or not when we grow up, secondary school life will be much more memorable, so i just want to tell you guys to indulge in what you think is right and leave yourself with happy memories throughout this phase. Hahah school's out, memories past, but no doubt, friendship lasts. i love my friends who has gone through so much with me this term, be it cursing or swearing at grades, or blasting out with euphoria when we ace studies together, i just wanna tell you all that these friendships will accompany me for the rest of my life, i'm what i am also because of your presence. Be it playing piano during PE lessons (LOL), running to the basketball court immediately after class, or catching up with the latest gossip, thank you for being here for me (:
Haha ohyeah, another thing i wanna say is that don't ever compare yourself to the others because you don't have to, each and everyone of us has our strengths and weaknesses, having trust in yourself is enough to build up that courage and confidence. Justlike Kobe Bryant when he entered NBA at the age of 17, "I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I just want to be Kobe Bryant" haha there are times in life we may begin to doubt ourselves, like doubt our perspectives and even abilities. But have you asked yourself why? So what if you fall? just get back on your feet again! Haha the reason why i am so persistant and hardworking(maybe not), is the smiles from my parents faces when i tell them my grades, that's everything, nothing else need to be said, just that smile is enough to push me further and give me that undying attitude, be it studies or basketball. Find your motivation that only your heart knows, thats everything already..
We are the world,
we are the children.

2010-05-11T04:26:00.000-07:00

Shoe Frenzy.

SO...I went for quantum merchanics interview today. Haha, scary to the max. But i figured out that i did my best, i did my homework before the interview, at least i did what i can. I hope i impressed the interviewer interms of personal areas of question because i said so much about myself, my personal strengths, passion, interest and weaknesses and i even mentioned my parents LOL. Its normal, they're inspirational to me so i figured out that it would be a bonus for my interview haha. When the interviewers asked me about quantum..not too bad actually, i answered all the questions (when i didn't really believed that i could before it) and i only became stuck at one question. Haha but my conclusion to the interview was great, ended off with my personal principles, how to give and get, how to make the world a better place with my knowledge, with quantum mechanics.

2010-05-08T00:07:00.000-07:00

ok, i just did lots of reading up on "Quantum Mechanics" and i tell you it seriously freaked me out. Not as in there's lots to study on this module or its too chim to understand, but it scared shit out of me because its starting to make doubt reality. What exactly is R-E-A-L-I-T-Y?
I checked up thefreedictionary and came up with these possible definitions:
1. The quality or state of being actual or true.
2. The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence
3. That which exists objectively and in fact

Here comes the problem. According to the video i posted below on quantum physics (it doesn't matter if you ain't a physics student), it demonstrated the weird behaviour of photons.

When individual protons, or particles are fired into the slids, it created 2 identical beams of mark.

When a wave, for example a water wave, is displaced by a vibration, it goes through the 2 slids and the waves interfere with each other, causing disturbance and an interferance pattern.

Now, an electron is fired. Its a particle, so by right it should create the same pattern as when a particle is fired. But didn't! it actually created an interference pattern as if it was a wave..

And here comes the scary part, when a human eye, or a detector is present, the electron actually alters its behaviour, it doesn't create that interference pattern anymore, but instead a 2 slit pattern caused by a particle.

This is odd, eerie and weird. There's one possible theory that explains these very real phenomenon and it scared the shit out of me.

This theory, known as " collapse of wave function" explains how an entity such as a photon or an electron could travel as a wave but arrive as a single particle. According to this theory, what is passing through the apparatus used in the experiment is not a material at all, but a "probability wave". which means that the particle does not have a definite location. but has a probability of being here or there randomly. In this theory, an electron not being observed does not exist as a particle at all, but has a wave-like property covering areas of probability where it could be found. Once the electron is observed, the wave function collapses and the electron becomes a particle.

When we are not looking at the particle, the probability wave of even a single particle, is spread out and will pass through both slits the same time and arrive at the detector as a wave showing an interference pattern. When we observe the electron by placing detectors, it is as if forced into revealing its location which causes the probability wave to collapse into a particle. If this theory is TRUE, it suggests one single implication:

Nothing is real until it has been observed!

So is this quantum theory explaining that in our word, nothing exists until it has been observed?

Is it true that our world, our universe exists only because we are looking at it?
Omg, i'm baffled to the extent of doubting reality.

Its like, what the hell! LOL.

Then how can we define "entity" now?

how can we define our world?

What exactly are, humans?

2010-05-07T07:28:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, this week wasn't as great as i had expected. I am not sure of the reason either, i think there's something wrong with me. Like you have achieved everything and there's nothing else left, only applauses and all you can do is to standstill at that very spot and wait for the curtains to draw, and your life behind that curtain becomes so dark, so lonely instantaneously. Maybe this is the best ever description i can give haha. I have a positive outlook towards my life, but i'm a human too, i feel...not really at the best of mood like what you guys always does. haha anw, Mother's day is around the corner, remember to give hugs and kisses! Love from a mother outstands all and everything, its so powerful, selfless, sarcificial, unresistable and it never ceases. No matter what happens, this love is always there, like a lighthouse never quits to give light regardless of how big the storm is. The are times you feel that your mum is the least person you wanna see, but believe it or not, this form of love is everlasting, it can take on all forms, no matter what injustice you face in the outside world, head home. Because at home you'll find the greatest support of all, that form of love that makes your heart soft and bring you back to the place you initially existed in.
That's it for today, i can't really feel my heart now, i can't really describe my arterial surges of emotions, but i know one thing for sure, that's my faith for life holds on.
Ok, get this thing started son, Quantum interview's next tues.

2010-05-06T07:29:00.000-07:00

WHAT IS THIS, QUANTUM MECHANICS? YOU'RE SCARING ME OUT.
Its so, wow.

So does it mean that realitly belongs independently to whatever is observing and the truth exists outside of perception, as perception isn't really seeing, rather it's a mechanism used to weigh up what it determines it's allowed to perceive based off it's own mechanisms?

"Quantum theory is bizarre. In order to try and understand it we need to forget everything we know about cause and effect, reality, certainty, and much else besides. This is a different world, it has its own rules, rules of probability that make no sense in our everyday world." Richard Feynman

This world is just magnificant, if you have eyes with Vision.

2010-04-30T06:57:00.000-07:00

I'm here with a re-post :D
Yeah, long weekends. Finally, i can pull myself up on the feet again and devote to my passions, and making out the best of the world that truely belongs to me.
I really want to leave myself with good memories of my childhood, such that when i reminisce back to the past, i find myself in a world that i call heaven, a place filled with Love.
Yeah i regconise my burning passion in basketball. But i realized that without music, my life will be incomplete. i want to relive music, and make my life, or even the world a better place through music. Through persistance, miracles can happen; with passion, glaciers can be melted.
Failure, is just another reason for me to try even harder.

2010-04-26T07:39:00.000-07:00

Heheh, 600th post. Zoom Kobe 4 Splatter editions.

I figured out that maybe i could take sometime out from studying which i really love to commit myself into alot. I think life's good for me here, i love my passions, i have a great bunch of friends, i have a great class, i have MORE than enough shoes to wear, and most importantly i have a great family who's always there for me to fall back on and there to give love and care. Haha at this stage family is very important, yet it is so easy to neglect. Especially all of us here lead a hectic life everyday, like me who can't even differentiate from tuesdays to thurdays because of the workload and stuffs. And when we have difficulty slowing down our pace, we tend to neglect those who give love and care, simply because of our's perception that they are always there for us. Man, don't ever take family's care and love for granted. Cherish it, cherish each and every single touch of love. I hope i can continue to persevere in terms of studies, relationships as well as my passions. Haha life's good! it just depend on your perspective on it, there are times we don't get what we want, but we can give in, forgive and forget, and through adversity i believe we can make the best out of it. There are many times i was doubting myself, my capabilities and i wanted to give up.

"如果超人会飞.那就让我在空中停一停歇
再次俯瞰这个世界、会让我觉得好一些
拯救地球好累虽然有些疲惫但我还是会
不要问我哭或流泪，因为超人不能留眼泪"
-an excerpt from Jay Chou's new song.

But just hang in there, all of us, including you, will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I realized how time passed so fast. Before you even realized, before you want to take one step further to save it in your memory, before you can cherish and take pride in it, its gone. Like a dandelion that scatters its pedals into thin air after flowering. Man, i think that secondary school life is really my best times in life so far, despite that there are so many obstacles, so much stress, so many complexities to face alone, but its more or less carefree. Or is it not?

I kinda like to reminisce on things that reminds me of happiness, for that period of time and precise moment when i really felt happy, when i really felt that the whole world was mine. All those memories never fail to light up my world and at least divorce my presence with reality. I hope this can carry on man, i'm going to continue to try making my life carefree, and set my hopes into the future where amazing happens. Believe it or not, good things really do happen to all of us, its just a matter of time, and whether you find it and feel it or not.

Cheers (:

Hey bloggers! Phew, i'm glad that i survived through this week. Its a week where i felt so nervous and anxious, its like you know something major's going to happen to you and then at this point of time your heart beats so fast. Maths test and Project Work was kinda fine, i did my best, i think that's what is important. Its the sincerity that counts, but it doesn't mean that if you have prepared for it you'll ace it. That's the major cut off for it ): Haha now i'm desperatetely trying to strike a balance between studies and play. i admit that i've been studying too much for the week, but nothing's too much when it comes to studying. Now I think it has became a part of my life, maybe i'm too accustomed to it? If you wanna do well in something, undeniably you have to make it become part of your life, where you don't have to see it as a burden, but it comes naturally out of you and flows like a melody, even though it ends, but it has left a memory that is forever etched on your heart. On the side note, i'm been dwelling on what's wrong with me. I always have this feeling of being unsecure, you can count it as feeling empty deep inside. Like what i've said, the important thing in life is to find a world that belongs to you, find a world that gives your life meaning and significance, such that you have a purpose and aim in life. I feel that everyone exists for a purpose, whether to serve, to enlighten, to listen or to care. When you find the world that belongs to you it seriously changes your perspectives on life, and it gives emotional attachment to people that made it possible. What do you guys think are reasons that makes you feel empty deep inside? When you pursue something in life, what happens after that?
Haha, i think i'm a person that counts on to interaction with people, it leaves an impression deeper and of more value, than a simple text.
Damn, i really need to pursue things in life that gives me happiness. Everyone's perception on the vague term 'happiness' is different, and that is what makes us unique. It can be simply having a match of basketball, or having known that the others is happy. Oh man, my dream is actually to play a piece on a grand piano in a large dimly lit hall, with only one audience, and that's the person that i value in my life.
Go find it, find your happiness!

Cut comparison between Zoom Kobe 4 & Mark's trainers. :D

I almost missed this! what a serene sight. i wanted to pause time in my world to save this sight forever. ~

Ohyay! Thanks X 10000 to LingLing for helping me get these Jay Chou World Tour 2010 tickets! (:

"Quietly forceful, orginal and sensitive. Tend to stick to things until they are done. Extremely intuitive about people and concerned for their feelings. Well developed value systems which they stictly adhere to. Well respected for their perseverence in doing the right thing"

Hahas, an excerpt from my MBTI personal cover.
Its so true omg...

2010-04-16T07:59:00.000-07:00

I figured out that i shouldn't be always posting about shoes and basketballs don't you agree! :D
Alright, i have this crisis of having not enough time to practice piano D:
its like from everyday 2 hours -> 1 week 2 hours omg.
school's taken out MAJOR amount of my time and i've been mugging so much that i couldn't tell from tuesday to wednesday. Its just about tests and assignments though, but i hafta commit myself alot to such things. I have to commit with a heart, or else everything doesn't counts.
But on the other hand, i think that piano is something that i will make sacrifices for and i should.
sometimes because of work and stuff i tend to neglect and i feel so guilty man.
Ok so it all started out like this...
Somehow i started developing feelings for piano and its somewhat like that sweet feel with you think of someone, or when you have someone in mind. It always make my heart beat faster, but i think what captivates me so much is how black and white keys come together and fit in so nicely to give you music. To me, no matter is it a simple or a difficult piece, whatever that is played on the piano is nice (:
Probably you can describe my passion for music as obstinate LOL.
Its just like basketball, when you miss a shot, or you shoot 3 airballs in a row, is it going to stop me from shooting again? No way out seriously.
Conversely, each shot i take makes me feel more urged to commit my heart into the game.
Just like piano, when i get stuck, i keep trying until i get the correct dynamic and keys, such that whenever i can get my hands on a piano, the music just flows naturally, be it from my heart
or fingers. I think maybe it is the hectic life i lead right now, its just so busy that i really have difficulty stopping my footsteps to appreciate people and things around me. But piano is a totally different thing, i don't know whether its just me or it goes for the same for all people out there, each piece creates an atmosphere that my mood can fit in, or at least divert my attention from all the nasty stuffs in real life. Like i've said, i want my life to be simple, and i want music to accompany the rest of it ;D
Cheers to the sky!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is dawn? or is it dusk?
haha i took this picture in China last year. WOW, i didn't realize my passion started since then.

" 'I've never let go' is probably next most recognised line that got the tear ducts working overtime as the hero sacrifices his life to save the woman he loves. "

Aww man. Titanic's the first movie i've ever watched, its the 41st time i'm gonna reminisce on the story, or at least a fairytale.

2010-04-09T06:01:00.000-07:00

Chaos' Vs. its purple under this light :d

I realised that my interest and passion for photography is increasing by a speed just too great. They say a picture tells a thousand words, i think that is very true yknow. For me, i think a picture is something that contains all emotions, its just there, for you to reminisce and fall in love with again. Haha i took this picture with all my emotions, and my heart feels kinda sweet.

THis was today! Beautiful sunset at the basketball court. Its exceptionally brilliant and outstanding because of the rain, and ofcourse the rainwater. If i could, i would choose to follow the light, follow its path, to be enlightened and empowered with. Its something that i lookup on and something that i could fall back on.

Guess i shall do a re-post of this picture :D its crazily beautiful beyond words. It is a reminiscence of Hope, Peace and Eternal Love. Go figure, when you see something like this, just appreciate it, seriously your perspectives on life changes. I actually wondered how my passion with photography started, maybe i'm too impressed, too amazed by nature's works of art. Or probably i feel that my life's a little complicated, i tend to fall back on nature, because its just there. At least it is eternal. Haha i dont want my life to be complicated, i just want it simple. I have a simple wish, and i can get euphorially happy and excited by simple acts of kindness.

Zoom Kobe 4 Splatter.

Haha this colourway of ZK4 is called "splatter because of its outsole (the one that looks dark grey here), there is a speckle and splash of purple dots. Hehehe pretty plain colours, yet so beast on the court. I pick these up for a 30% discount of its original $199 tag ;D i think in my life, shoes are really essentials, not because for footwear, but to a entirely new level of significance. Its like each pair of shoe that you own, you tend to develop feelings in it, there is a history in that shoe. Like from the day you bought it, all the way until its torn and tattered. This period of time, your shoe becomes your friend,it goes through everything with you. Haha, please dont think that i'm so crazily deprived of girls that i have to resort to 'loving' shoes. I mean, its just a passion of a 16 year old boy, dont be mean :d

So yeah, that was it for today. I was totally a mugger for the past week, sorry for that. Its like seriously no life, after school go straight home and study all the way till night without even touching the computer, and this cycle repeats for days and days, for the simple desire to do well in academics. I dont want this to become a burden, or something that irritates me, but instead convert it to something that i want to do, something that gives me confidence, instead of demoralising. Hahah anyway, i actually sprained my toe and wasn't able to play basketball for the whole past week. You know the feeling sucks when you are mentally ready to play the game, but your form just fails you. I dont like that feeling man. but im alright now!

SO, ANYONE WANTS A GAME?

because i'm freaking ready. :D

my love for this game is everlasting.

2010-04-06T07:23:00.000-07:00

Ohman, just look at that! The image you're looking at is the most beautiful and magnificent shade of sky i've ever seen in my whole 16 years of life. Seriously, its like not much different from the aurora beams from the north pole, its just beautiful beyond words. I love sunsets and twilight falls, its so serene and tranquil, so complexed with colours but yet so peaceful. Its sooths my heart, changes my perspectives in life. I think everyone of us here have to take a break at times, to appreciate the beauty of the nature. Don't you think so? :D

2010-04-01T08:16:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, sorry for not posting for such a long time! haha i was so busy with schools and stuff and i have 2 common tests coming up next week, so yeah i am going to study like crazy yes!
Today was a great day though, Kaleidoscope brought me closer to the school culture at least, and i developed a sense of..pride towards people in Dunman High? This is kinda mushy hahaha!
But today i kinda became confused, its like when things are there and you try to reach out for them, when you really escalate up to what you want, or at least you tried to reach, it just becomes invisible, just like bbursting a bubble. You saw a kaleidoscope of colors in that bubble, but once touched, its gone and you wont find it anymore. Dont know how this implies in my life? think about it. There are always certain things in life where you see regrets in, like a mission unaccomplished, like a promising war hero that lies in the path of an unstoppable arrow. You try to reminisce, to gain back that moment of triumph, that second of true happiness, its so near to you but when you try to really fit your life inside it, its like an impossible task. Haha man i'm talking chim today, bear with it for awhile. (Jamaica accent LOL)
I like my life, there may be ups and downs, but i choose to be optimistic. Whatever challenges there are, i'll solve it, fix it. i wont relent to failure, because failure then becomes the boost that propels me forward. There are times in your vision, you sense heartbeats, your mind flashes past, and you're left with a decision to make. i believe in what i believe in, nobody can change that fact, nobody can cause me to sway, nobody can change my feelings.
peace be the journey~

===================================================================
Guess i'm gonna post these overdues:
Picture of a fullmoon i took outside of ma house. ZOOM! its kinda significant because the moon represents eternity, doesn't it?

Playoff ZK4. (what you are looking at is the outrigger, the black sole of the shoe. It prevents your feet from slipping over to the oddside, which can result in sprains.)

Chaos ZK5 with white shoe lace. Haha i just worked some magic and TADA!

THis is a magnificent, beautiful, grand shade of sunset i saw in school while playing basketball.

I just love these kind of sights, it peaces out my mind. It represents...tranquility, serenity and PEACE.

Beyond that horizon, i dont know what lies for me.

Beautiful sunset. I totally love this picture to the max haha.

Look at Kobe's Code! The one like braille letters, the dotted ones can you see?

It represents " Heart ", i devote my heart to basketball.

Peace.

"I have passion in a few areas which include studying, playing basketball and piano. First of all, I am not the type who studies the whole day, but I try to strike a balance between work and play, while gaining benefits from both. Basketball has given me freedom on the court. But it also taught me that freedom may not mean that it is good because when you have freedom, you are faced with many choices, like on the basketball court, when you have the ball, what move should you take? To shoot or to pass? Which choice is better? So it has helped me to make choices better by judging the situation and getting information before hand. Whenever I score a point in basketball, it gives me the sense of achievement because I feel that everything I do is worthwhile, and my vision is clear of what I want to achieve. Besides basketball, I have passion in piano as well. You may always see me playing the piano in the school foyer. Despite having heavy workload in year 4, I will always try to make time out for piano, because it is my passion, it is something I will make sacrifices for. In school, I will seize any opportunity I have to practice. Piano is a way of expressing my inners self, and it is also a way to release stress. When I play the piano, I completely indulge in it and it brings me to a new innovation, to a new insight and image of life. Whenever I indulge in music, I tend to feel the music, the mood that the piece creates. To me, piano is something beautiful, it is something that you can be gentler with at times while forceful and precise. Because of my passion in piano, it has trained me to persevere as well. Whenever I practice, I will make sure that each note is precisely played with the correct dynamic. It applies to the same to life as well, when we have made the choice, we play whatever cards we have at hand, and we make the best out of it. "

Haha. An excerpt from my portfolio.

2010-03-26T08:07:00.000-07:00

Career day was cool man. It just motivated me to study even more and even more hard than ever before. Haha think of it, do you want to be someone who leads a meaningless life? or someone who strives to achieve in his field of interest? Haha somehow whenever i imagine next time i have the salary high enough to pay of 5 Lamborghinis at once, i'll just study so hard. It something like investing now, the benefits will just snowball along the way. So what i wanna be next time? That will be difficult to choose, but right now i think i'm setting my mind for straight As, that not only allow me to get into a career of my interest, but it adds honour onto my life.

Haha enough said, think about it, are you sure you want to continue to lead your life aimlessly everyday?

Today was basketball day! ohman i haven played for so longgg. So today was 6 hours straight. 1pm to 7pm. The reason why i like basketball is because it kinda gives me confidence, no matter what hardships you face in life, basketball is something that you can fall back on, to get that morale boost. Its like in basketball, each shot you take in the match will affect the whole team, and when you are faced with so many choices, which one should i choose? and when the ball gets into the net, it gives me a feeling of satisfaction. Its like you have achieved a goal! And then you think, everything you did was worthwhile. At least in basketball i know how far i want to achieve, and my vision is clear. While in life, there are always things that you have tried, to gain something from it, but it just keeps appearing and disappearing, giving you that kinda false hope and disappointment. At least in basketball, i can see my target, and i'm not restricted.

Go Lakers! xD

2010-03-22T04:43:00.000-07:00

I saw this beautiful sunset outside my house and i captured this picture without thinking.
Its just beautiful, makes you rethink whether your life is worthwhile or not, and whether all the things that you do are worth it or not. Haha its like a juxtaposition to my life?
I dont know about this picture, it gives me power to move on, because i know on the other side of the earth, there are people looking at the same sunset. There are times when we feel helpless, hopeless, dwell in self despair, but is this gonna help?
lastly, i wanna end off with this interesting quote:

"God gave ugly people talent so they can feel better. Not all beautiful people can have the attention."

Hello blogspot! once again, i'm so sorry i've been lagging out like fuhreal, its has almost became a routine for me to blog once a week now, and that's gonna be worst because i have way too many commitments to deal with throughout this week.
I found the importance of prioritising things in my life, how to live well and not leaving regrets that haunt you everytime you reminisce. Its like living with a goal and a target, and not flirting days away like a good-for-nothing, seriously. The importance of the issue is to get yourself commitments and find goals, be it near distant ones or future ones, just stick your life to something worth pursuing for.
Like mine, Studies, basketball and music, thats my passion in life, and each of those makes my life more worthwhile. I heard a story from an elderly women, that she didn't study when she was young, despite she had the oppotunity to, and by the age of 60 she's still single, relying on subsidies of 300 bucks a month to get through. And from that moment she flashed back her life, everything that occurred in her life, in her one second of heartbeat, she wished so much that she could return to the past, to pursue what she should, instead of slumping in such a pathetic state right now.
This story inspired me to mug, professionally. Serious, i think that self improvement is very important in this stage, especially in personal development of character and whatnot. think about it.
There are somethings in life that makes you sad when you reminisce, those unanswered questions, unfulfilled promises, so many wonderful memories that you wanna relieve and experience again, and these are the things i find it difficult to get rid of in my life. Maybe i don't dare to move on, but to me passion is always there. Haha when life has gone off track, fall back on music, or basketball, or anything that gives you the boost, athough it may not be effective.
There are so many doubts and uncertainities, but why make your life so complicated in the first place?

Like a shoe, life may look simple, but behind it lies so many complexities.

2010-03-15T04:48:00.000-07:00

There's this quote i saw on the news which says, "dreams and fantasies are beautiful, yet so

fragile that it shatters when touched by reality"

My love and passion may be active or dormant at times,

But it never goes extinct, its always there, its eternal.

2010-03-12T05:38:00.000-08:00

Alright, here comes the March holidays everyone, be prepared (:
Time really flies so fast, before i knew it its already mid-march already, and i'm closer to stepping into the society, getting out of my mum's hug and facing real deals and problems alone.
Haha but the good thing is, i get to experience all the good stuffs in life, all the tiny moments of sweetness. Yeah you get what i mean :D
Man i'm sitting in my room with my shoes on and i'm really tired, i played 4 hours of basketball today! haha but i gave it all and gave my best, because the last place i want to leave any regrets at is at the basketball court, its only 1 second, 1 moment, 1 chance, its now or never; i guess this kinda fits in to matters of heart?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoom kobe 5 chaos. i need a white shoe lace to rock these in school hahahaha :D
Click to enlarge. Be astounded, this is where amazing happens^^

bad mood?

2010-03-09T03:31:00.000-08:00

I'm ready for a real game of basketball;
i'm prepared for any challenges that comes along.
Let's do it!

2010-03-06T06:53:00.000-08:00

Hi friends i'm here for another post because a thought struck me by "accident", i have to put it up here before i forget :D
Just a question, have you guys out there ever had a moment like this? Like when you've done all your homework and done with studying all those, you get peace with yourself right? and have you ever gon back to your past? Recollecting past memories, like a roll of tape flashing one scene at a time. No matter what memories it maybe, no matter when it occured, think back, and you will realize that your whole life, since you came out of your mum's womb until now, its like only a matter of seconds.
1 second to be exact.
Don't be skeptical, i'm sincere.
Its like eveything just flies past in one second, thos happy moments with your families, those moments with friends, those heart accelerating moments with the person you love, everything, when you think about it now, its only one second. That's what i'm going to tell you next,
the lifespan of you and me only takes one second, that's it. Literally.
Think about it, the significance behind.
And people say the difficult thing is, how to live your best, to live remarkably, highly notably in that one second. Its impossible. Now you think about your 15 or 16 years of life, which age comes to you first? you can't specifically pinpoint one period right? thats my point, there may be ups and downs, honourable and tearing moments of joy, heart accelerating moments with the person you love, but when you recollect these memories, its just one second and everything's gone.
That's how fragile the value and significance of life is, you just have to accept this fact.
This is why, i cherish every moment, every chance and oppotunity that i have, to do something that will leave an imprint on my heart, on my memories. Its something that you have to experience and taste it yourself, that's what motivates me, that's what gives me the passion to pursue th things i love, the person i love. Its a lifetime oppotunity sometimes, when you miss it, its gone forever. That's why i'm so obstinate when it comes to pursuing my interest.
Its something i believe will change lives, even if it last for a billionth of a second, its still worth the attempt, still worthy for you to make th right choice at the right time.
Till the end, life's about waiting for the right moment to act isn't it?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright i'm done, i shall end this post with a few pictures, enjoy! (:

Its an honour to have your idol's name and signature inscribed on your shoes, its a form of motivation to all number 24 fans.

Alright, click this picture to enlarge. notice that the sun isn't as bright as it used to be..

I had to capture this shot, because i knew that there will be nothing close to something so magnificent and beautiful will present itself to you again. spent sometime with nature, it really changes your perspectives on your current hectic lifestyle (:

Cool man i saw this bird in the sky and i rushed out of class to take this picture. I think this is a major discovery! i searched google for the whole afternoon but i cant tell which species of bird that this one belongs to. Any suggestions? tagbox <--------- :D

Oh yeah, i got my new Jordan Brand Basketball :D its quite special because it has a graffiti collage of jordan brand shoes all over the ball. Click to enlarge!

No i did not close the lights of my room and take the picture of my torch light. Saw this Fullmoon on 28th Feb, last day of Cny. Th moon appears biggr bcause its distance to earth is shortest on that day.

Playoff Zoom Kobe 4s. A truly beautiful pair of basketball shoes.

Have a great night everyone! CHEEYUH!

2010-03-05T07:39:00.001-08:00

Woo, it seems that my blogging routine has been like changed to once a week hahah. But to blogspot, i'm so sorry, like the only thing i do here is to lag and apologise, or maybe do a shoe review. Haha that's not my style, seriously, i'm definitely not a shoe head.
Well, the whole week was quite hectic, i was so busy that i had to squeeze out time for meals at home D: the thing is Until now i still can't accept the fact that i'm 16~! haha like i'm becoming further and further from my childhood, and going nearer into the complicated society.
Man, the wholeweek was physics and physics and physics, but don't call me a mugger! Its like from a perspective i wanna end this term on a good note, and from another i want to keep my faith and that i believe that what i'm doing now isn't what everything i've got. Its just motivation and passion. And These are the 2 conditions that you create for yourself, not waiting for others to shout at you.

=================================================================
BTW, Zoom Kobe 5 Chaos are insanely comfortable shoes to ball in!
=================================================================

Ok, its now a few more minutes to midnight and i'm here to share something on trust. To shed somelight on this blogspot, because i don't want it to be a newsletter for shoes and everything.
Haha i read a post from a youtube subscriber and how he lamented on the line of trust.
Trust, what is it to us?
Trust, when lost, can never be regained. Just like when you shatter a piece of glass, all those microscopic pieces go all over the place, and even if you vacuum it up and stick it back together using super glue, the crackline is still there, it can be never brought back to its original state.
Thats how brittle the term trust is. Its a devotion between 2 people, just like chocolate that never fails to bring on a smile to your face, but when that chocolate melts, no matter how you freeze it back, you can never get back the same shape.
I often wonder why the world out there is so complicated, so restricted and so daunting; why are people complicated and stuffs. Is it because of my age? Oh man i need a serious brainwashing of my cartoon network man LOL.
gosh i needa sleep, at least it makes me healthy! :D
Just be it, whatever that it comes, my feelings will be there still, nothing will change that fact.
my passion will never fade away, its like a small flame, that results in a burning inferno at the end of the fairytale.

2010-02-26T06:28:00.000-08:00

kobe's shoes are dope!
Number 24 is back! Kobe's finally back into the game after injuring his ankle, and the first game after his injury he got a Game winning shot. Thats we call the Legend :D
Alright before i wanna continue, i want to state my point here.
I'm definitely not a sneaker head, i don't live for shoes and my whole mind's not filled with them.
Its only that i have a little more passion than the others, a little more fulfilment in life, a little more character. That's it. Like many other people, i'm a normal teenager, i blush easily, i do feel happy for people, i do feel sad sometimes, and i believe in true love.
Ok then, let's get this thing started son!

Introducing, Nike Zoom Kobe 5 Chaos edition. I just cashed in $199 ! D:
This colourway was inspired by the Joker in the Batman animated series BTW.

The reason why i'm into shoes because Of the technology involved in it.

Then, people see shoes as a piece of meshed cloth with a lace tied around it around the foot.

Now, its different. For the Zoom Kobe 5, its only a single source of inspiration. If you check out shoes of other NBA players, such as lebron James, Kevin Durant or Michael Jordan, Its simply nothing but grandeur.

Step 1 : The involvement of Nike Flywire Technology. *flywire is literally thin and strong nylon cables that run across the whole shoe. It makes the shoe flexible as it is, and most importantly lightweight. The Flywire actually produces a gripping effect known as the "glove like feel". Like during winter when you slip your hand into a glove? Point to note, the prominent issue of basketball is when you cut corners fast, ankle break-ing people instantly. And at the moment when you suddenly shift your foot, your foot will tend to slide inside the shoe, and that makes you feel real loose on the game. So the purpose of flywire is that when your foot generates heat in a game of basketball, the flywire will actually conform to your feet more, become more tightened such that the shoe and the foot stays as one.

Step 2: Low cut basketball shoe. In the reign of basketball, low top basketball shoes are considered as taboo, because high cut shoes tend to protect your ankle more and give it the support that its needs when it shift in different directions, so when you ankle moves to the right, the high cut part of the shoe will "push" your ankle back to original position, preventing ankle injury. Times have evolved, its now about the zoom kobe5 , low cut to allow more room for ankle movement , so that on the court you dont feel your ankle and foot being restricted and confined within an area, and ofcourse, reducing weight of the shoe.

Step 3: Nike Zoom Air. Exclusively to nike basketball shoes, A new technology was implemented into the shoe, the zoom air, or what we call it the air bag. When your car crashes* and instantly your safely air bags installed in the steering wheel becomes inflated with air and forms a cushion for you to impact on. Same physics behind the Nike zoom air, for zoom kobe 5, a 15 mm zoom air bag is placed at the heel of the shoe, and another 8 mm zoom air bag is placed in the forefoot of the shoe. Think, when you walk, the bottom your heel exerts the greatest pressure on the ground , and your forefoot (area around toes) are the secondary pressure point. So Air bags are strategically position at these areas in the shoe to absorb the pressure and impact the each step you take, giving you the "bouncy-spring" feel after the match when your feet feels so the hell messed up.

Step 4: Designing a shoe that solely belongs to you. For Basketball players such as Kobe Bryant or Lebron James, each new creation brings their signature to a new innovation. Have you ever noticed before why in my previous posts i said about zk4s/zk5s are pieces of inspiration? because its a representative of the greatest players in the NBA, its like a landmark , a sparkling star in the universe. For Kobe, he chose number 24 for 2 reasons. First is to dedicate all of his 24 hours in a day to basketball, and second, number 24 to surpass number 23, Michael Jordan, the legend of NBA.

Inscribed, "KB" and "24".

And to tell you the truth ,Kobe wore this chaos zk5s on Christmas, the day of giving and sarcifice. It just puts even more significance and honour onto this shoe.

Step 5: Carbon Fibre technology. (ohman please ignore my bedsheets LOL, anw the lime green soles are dope with the kobe logo.)
Look at the sole of the shoe, if you notice the streak of black, as well as the arc over there? Its basically reinforced carbon fibre plates. Carbon fibre is something like the fundamental structure, it acts as a support to the shoe where most of the force is applied at.

To summarise this, i'm just very very happy :D

Again, don't ask me why i'm so crazy about shoes, i do appreciate the inspiration behind all those ideas, each inspiration leads to the next and to the next and to the next, just like a gentle flow of river, soothing out all the roughness underneath.
its the same mentality as affection for people, like rain, soaking couples with a drenching joy.
Just like True love.

Guess who's back!
i realized that i haven really been coming up with a real proper post on this blogspot here so here am i, with a little heavy heart and a little more wisdom to share.
But hang on, have anyone of you out there who has a routined life?
i mean for the past whole week, from monday to thursday, as if i've been on a mission back home,
and when i'm home i'll just throw my bag, lock the doors and just engross myself into studies sometimes for 4 hours straight, 7pm to 11pm.
I'm definitely not a mugger and i'm not fit and not willing to be one, but you can consider this a little more devotion and commitment to something that i have confidence in achieving?
There are somethings in life which when even if you put in lots of effort, make lots of sacrifice, you probably won't get a hug back, not at all. To me i think that to be stubborn in life, to achieve in something that you dream of, you have to have this mindset, period.
As if you can be forgiving, be relenting, be kind, be nice, rejoicing in true happiness.
Thats when the hug comes in.
The hug solves it all, whatever hatred, whatever misunderstanding, whatever disappointment with people, one hug solves it all.
Its kinda weird, kinda happy and a little mixed emotions.
Do you understand? i think its something that you have to experience it yourself, to earn the thrust, to give the thrust.

2010-02-19T03:56:00.000-08:00

Like what president Barack Obama is doing :D

Anyway i had a tagline to post up here:

Friendship, Loyalty, Trust

haha this definitely sounds familiar to lebron heads, but i think that's life's essentials.

Its everything, it comprises of everything in life.

Think about it. :D

2010-02-14T22:36:00.000-08:00

Inside: Universal Studios Singapore.
Hahah my family actually got tickets to Universal Studios which i heard has been sold out for crazy! so here you go, i'm a visual person, so i'm gonna give these pictures the limelight.
Btw, Disney Fairy tales ftw!

Getting jealous?

Park will be officially opened in March and tickets for you are priced at 66 dollars at weekdays and 72 dollars in weekends (:

This section is all about my to-be new basketball shoe :d

Introducing: Zoom Kobe 5 'Chaos' edition

I just wanna say that this shoe is very different from my zk5 'away's , because the metallic flywire material around the nike swoosh and the toe-box actually can change colour under different lightings.

look here! the first shoe on the left of the top of the shelve. You can see that its actually chaos purple,

and look at the first shoe at the left on the second shelve, it shoes a chaos metallic blue colour.

Absolutely un-resistable. I went to wisma atria yesterday and saw these beauties :D haha i have money, but they sold out of size 12s. So i gave them my contact number and i'm going back there at the end of february for these chaos.

~~~~~~~

Hahah Happy Valentines btw, although to me there's nothing special and nothing happy about it.

but still...Happy chinese new year *<>*

2010-02-12T03:20:00.001-08:00

I'm sick! i forgot to update y'all that i actually had a bad fever on the night on my birthday, and i haven recovered until now ): omg now i realised that health is the most important of all, seriously.
HAving a bad sore throat is worst, i had my throat swollen, and whenever i swallow i feel as if my throat is penetrated by a pin inch my inch arghh. I know, that's sick.
haha i didn't even play basketball today, even though my fever was gone but i was so afraid that it will come back, like what it did 2 nights ago ._.
So yeah i spent my afternoon practising piano all the way :d
haha no matter what happens, i always feel carefree in my music world, i dont know why people quit after they obtain their grade 8 or 7 cert. i believe those who really love piano will play for its music, not for the cert. (;
Ohya i took my bio test with a splitting headache this morning!
i didn't feel good at all, like super dizzy
but i still took the test today!..for i dont want to study during CNY LOL!
haha but anyway, i think i did well. At least i can pass :)
Happy chinese new year lovers! (:

2010-02-06T22:03:00.000-08:00

Haha a statue of kobe. Take good and close look babies (:

So yeah happy birthday to me :D

16 sounds so foreign and taboo to me idk why but in anycase, i shall always be a kid at heart (:

Trust.

2010-02-05T07:48:00.000-08:00

2010-02-01T06:28:00.000-08:00

Simply amazing, another clutch shot from kobe.
Remember, this guy's index finger is broken and still in a cast.
Do watch if you have the time (:

2010-01-30T20:28:00.000-08:00

HEY! i feel so sorry i haven been really jotting down stuff and thoughts here on blogspot, i've really been busy arghh.
Things i did so far:
Revised Chemistry all the 4 topics that's going to be tested round the corner,
Revised Biology Homeostasis and studied the whole of excretion (!)
Revised Geography the whole thang about plate movements and features and etc
Revised maths Similarity and Congruency
Man, please, please do not think that i'm a wonderful mugger cause i'm not suited to be one,
its all about commitment and striking a balance cause i realised that i've been spending too much time on miscellaneous stuffs which i shouldn't be...
Anyway, like i've said, when we talk on terms of devotion, there's no significance behind it if it was to be an empty talk. So, if you are feeling bad because you haven done something that you should and its bugging you the whole weekend, Just Do It now (:

I just realised that my birthday is coming next weekend!
hahaha i'm going to be so so so so broke in my wallet on this pair of shoes:

Zoom Kobe 5 Ace Lower Merion Editions. Check out this pair on Kobe's feet , Click on picture to enlarge. I think is beautiful, and a good shoe aesthetically. i'm definitely copping this pair :D

My inspiration for Basketball :D

Oh yeah im trying to strike a balance between shoes and blogging because most of you out there are not as crazy as me for my passion towards basketball shoe haha i'm sorry!

So there you go, i have a segment below dedicated to nature.

I don't know why, every morning when i wake up, i feel as if im reborn, i go to my window and i just stick my head out with my eyes closed, to feel the gentle dawn breeze, to hear the sounds of morning, to feel the crisp morning air, to look at the sunrise. It just gives me a feeling of serenity and tranquility haha, have anyone of you tried this at home?

I think this is what we call the "Solar Ring of Fire"

Saw this out of my kitchen window last night, the moon was round and so close to me, i could see the winkles on it, literally. Its like at night the whole sky was dark and in the middle you have a round light source, with a ring of glow around it. Its just beautiful.

Of course, magnificent gradient at dawn. Overlooked by many.

2010-01-28T06:46:00.000-08:00

Okayy, this will be a really really short post, i just finished preparing maths for tmr's common test haha. I hope i can do well for it, because i've been mugging maths everyday since 17th Jan. You count the days, that's the amount of effort i put in, thats commitment (:
I guess at this stage you have to devote yourself into everything, adapt to the atmosphere and of course, staying true to yourself by doing what you should given you had the chance. haha i don't wanna have any regrets and think that " shit! i should have done that earlier" ! chances does come easy haha, hope i can prove myself upon the chance. Oh yeah, i think i'm playing basketball for a longer time tmr, i haven really touch ball for the whole week ):
And it all goes down to commitment (:

2010-01-24T04:31:00.000-08:00

Zoom Kobe 4 playoffs (:

beautiful gradient at dawn.

For music can contain all emotions (:

2010-01-22T06:34:00.000-08:00

On feet: Zoom Kobe 5 away general release *

i know i'm lagging seriously, haven been spending quality time on this blogspot right here.

haha be honest with you, for the past week i've been like studying till this time and then going to bed and the cycle kinda repeats, that's the routine. But its good actually, beats leading a goal-less life where you have nothing to look forward to, to compete with and to feel with. So, what's for today's post? Haha its 10. 45 pm now and i'm trying to recollect on some memories or lines that i thought on my way home today :D it has already been 3 weeks since school started, and i know what's keeping me up for everything, that's passion. Passion for studies, passion for basketball, passion for shoes, passion for the person who gave me that sweet feeling.

That's how important passion is, that's what make your life meaningful, purposeful and that's what let you make the best of everything. Haha to me its kinka an escape to a carefree wonderland.

Like when i'm playing music, i totally engross in it, detaching myself from reality, immensing myself into music, and there are times where people asked me whether i get bored playing the same piece over and over again, my answer is definitely no, because you get to relive your experience when you first touched it, because you can feel the ambience created and fit yourself in, and for that i feel its extraordinary (:
And for Kobe, passion for basketball made him became an ALL-STAR MVP champion and 17 years playing in NBA.

Its unbelievable how passion gets you alive, and how obstinate you are in pursuing things.

Haha has anyone out there once curdled up in bed unable to sleep and you feel that you wanna have someone there to give you a warm hug and a pat on the back and chatting with you? i did! LOL man, its totally out of place haha, but yeah follow your heart and passion (:

2010-01-18T04:58:00.000-08:00

Dear Sitong,
No matter what will the future bring for you,

No matter what injustice you may face,
retaliate with love and graciousness.
Value yourself and your presence.
We can't change the cards we are dealth, just how we play the hand.
Don't despair or give up hope in life,
Treasure everything you have and don't ever take them for granted.

So its a shoe that truely belongs to me :D
Anyway, i actually sprained my back while playing basketball in the afternoon, and what's worst is that i actually got stepped on ):

cheers!

GO KOBE!

2010-01-09T18:24:00.000-08:00

Hi what's up everybody, so this is me coming back with another update!

but wait...is it me or is the car above..short? 0.0

lol! alright back to the main point here are my resolutions for 2010:

1.Get even better results and GPA

2. Engage more in school activities

3. Play lesser basketball (although it has already became a daily routine)

4. socialize with more friends out there

5. learn to trust, love and commit to people and things

6. stop taking things for granted

7. Look forward each day as a new beginning to success and oppotunities

8. learn to be more independent

9.Create chances, not wait for them

10.smile, always

Thats about it haha, what about yours? have you ever stop in your tracks and think about the past, the could-haves and what you really want for yourself for the future?

On the other hand, i'm still trying hard to work things out haha. i don't know what's happening but i'm kind confused. Sch0ol's started already and i'm back on spending 3 hours hitting the books and notes, maybe in this way i can be better.

Trust me.

2010-01-06T03:42:00.000-08:00

But i'm confident for this school season, its time to start the engine son!
haha sometimes in school, you're taught a lesson before you are given a test,
but sometimes in life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.
all the best!

2010-01-01T22:41:00.000-08:00

Zoom kobe 5 on january 16th wooh! ;d

2009-12-30T03:34:00.000-08:00

==================Last blogpost of 2009 *============================

2009 came and went before i realised it.

i looked into the mirror and did some reflections ^

so, looks like i'm gonna be 16 next year?

well its great man, i mean you learn and mature as you age. I remember in the book *tuesdays with Morrie* the author wrote that people in the 40s always said " if only i was 25..", " if only i was 19 again" and you know what this means? unfulfilled lives, they want to go back to relive that year, to make up for things that they didn't do, chances they missed, and things lost.

it kinda struck me that making each day count was so important, because you're sure that everyday is the day you're proud of, instead of waking up each morning and can't remember whether it was a wednesday or friday.

As for me, for year 2009, its the year that made me learn, made me experience stuff i didn't get to, made me endured hardships, made me persevere.

1st, i got it straight, i remembered at the start of the year y'all were getting irritated because almost all my posts are about being in 3J and i ranted how i hated it.

But now i laughed, i laughed because now i realized how foolish i was!

so what if i'm in a class where everyone doesn't make that much fun?

its alright, i accept it, in a class, we have lessons together and i'm glad that i'm one of them in class 3J. Its like learning how to embrace and forgive, you have to take a step back, change your mindset, see things differently. So what if we lack fun? we can make it all the same :d

2nd, 2009 is the year which i made new friends! :D

THATS THE THING. when one sense weakens another arises.

i felt lonely in 3J, before. This actually made me cherish all my friends beside me although they're not in my class. i look forward being the first to step out of 3J and step in 3I to look for the prince charming haha. And through joining the band, the subsequent process made me feel valued because i'm part of it. Made new friends through it, hugged them and the next thing i know we're together buying lunch or heading to the basketball court together. Thats what i mean ;P

And 2009 is the year i came so close with death, for the first time.

Ever since my beloved grandmother left me almost 5 months ago, i've been thinking so much for everyday in the 5 months, i stared into the deep turquoise sky and i wondered whether she's up there looking over me, everytime when its time to burn incense paper i'll make a wish to my grandmother, that is : please like me see you again.

Its that form of pain i've never experience before. Its like bitter saddness and at the same time fear.

Before i know it it just happened, overwhelmed, unexplained.

its just not fair, why at this time?

i know, fairness doesn't govern life and death. But i';m not at all prepared or even dare think about it. i'm scared of this issue, so i run away from it.

But before i realise it, it found me.

through this incident i've matured a hell damn lot. , understood the true meaning of true love from a kin. Alright now i've have it, experience it, i wanna say its just too much for me, i'm just a boy.

Deep in my heart, there's always a place for my grandmother, always collating images of her feeding me. And right now on this page, i wanna say it to whoever, please give me one more chance to be with my grandmother, be it 5 seconds, 5 mins or 50 mins.

I'll cherish with a whole heart.

And of course, 2009 is a year that gave me the chance to enjoy music, especially great pieces of music from great musicians of all time, be it federic Chopin, F. Liszt, beethoven or schumann, or modern pianists such as Maksim, Lang Lang and Li Yundi, its a piece of inspiration , a piece of history, a surge of passion, a burst of love.

Love, takes on many forms, its different for everyone, but i think its mad,

i can't explain it, and i can't control it, its like river, it keeps on flowing

love for a person- strongest human feeling on earth

i know, for the past year there were ups and downs, but to me its just it

i'll keep my share of love for you deep down there, maybe its not expressed

But people do say that the most valuable form of love is the love you want from someone.

so yeah, cheers up!

And 2009, is the year when i became obsessed with sneakers!

Thanks to KOBE for his aspirations and inspirations to me, for both basketball and zoom kobe 4, right next i'm going to use my pay for ZOOM KOBE 5 BABY! debuts at nike flagship store on 16th Jan 2010 and i think i'm gonna camp on the 15 th :D

Alright many thanks to all of you who made this year count, thanks to year 2009

And now, i'm ready for 2010.

Oh this was for Christmas btw (;

2009-12-28T04:45:00.000-08:00

hey guys, sorry if i haven really done a good post that's meaningful to you all or something, because i'm going back to class soon and i've picked up some study materials from the bookshop today, so yeah was mugging *CHEMISTRY* last night till i hear birds chipping.

wait, Birds chipping?

Ah whatever LOL anw before 2010 comes i will do a good blog post right here, right in front of you, about my thoughts for 2009, big ideas i had, resolutions for next year and etc.

But till the end i still, and will hold to one of my principles, thats is always cherish your moments and make each day count~

Hope y'all still remember my "Carpe diem" post haha.

and recently i touched a great piece of classical music by Liszt, Liebrestraum 3

its really great i mean, when im done maybe i will put a video here for y'all guys.

2009-12-23T03:48:00.000-08:00

Hey bloggers! first of all, i wanna wish you guys a merry merry christmas!
And to commemorate this very special day, i've finally mastered a classical piece " Le Cygne" (The swan* the transcibed version by Gowdowsky. Want the piano score? tag box at your left thankyou.
And i'm sorry for not updating the past few days because i was really busy with work and stuffs, but now i'm back with a lot of pictures and words
\=-=-=-=-=-=-==--==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/
If you find any content below offending or boring, i'm sorry but just bear with me for awhile.

Part one of this blog post : Work!
i was at Raffles Institution today, srsly there's at least 400 hundred people coming down to buy their uniforms and today its real tiring ):
But, look at today's takings:
If im not wrong its s$116000 (!)(!)(!)

Doing stocks!

LOl i pity those who come to buy our uniforms hah :d

Part 2:

alright this is the most impt part, i went down to Plaza sing to catch Jay Chou and Lin Chiling!
Srsly man i felt so...idk this is my second time seeing him in person omg! I think my mum asked me;" i thought you went to his concert? now see him again very excited ah?"

This was my reply: " no matter how many times i see Jay, i will always be so exhilerated, excited, exclamated and jidong!"This is it man, my No.1 Idol in my heart that no one can replace, for more info you all can kindly scroll down to my post with my 5 idols (:

I'm really not gay, but i just love Jay!

I love him for his Music, for his movies, for his character, for inspiring me to pick up piano, for emphasizing that Filial Piety is a must have condition when you find Boyfriends/Girlfriends

And i wanna thank him for everything. i Grew up listening to his music, watching his MVs and movies, i remembered listening to one of his songs Jian dan Ai, Dong Feng Po etc when i was like P5 or P6 and now being almost sec 4 when i listen the song again, it will always stir up something in my heart, with that special feeling <3

so yeah, Just for an comparison, for those hard core Michael Jackson fans, i'm the same with all of ya, only that i love Jaychou *~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

This is it! so many reporters camping there for the past 1 hour just to take a shot at Jaychou and Chiling *****

Merry Christmas! As we come together for the big event, we still remember Christmas (;

A host from radiostation Y.E.S 93.3, i remembered when she stepped up on stage immediately the screams from teh crowd measured up to 150 decibels ~

Big camera. For national televison *

i remembered that people where stacking against each other LOL.

So many die hard fans..i thnk im looking at a mirror!
Oh btw! i saw this on the way there! epic sia! 6XL! omg got people so large meh?

Of course, with my favourite Jay Chou tee shirt from his concert, i have to wear this man, i'm actually gonna see Jay in it :D

Which pair should i wear? 0-0

Pink Jaychou Shirt+jeans+ zk4(goldmedal)/zk4(playoff pack)

Haha i love that Kobe signature! and the white sole below it is the signature Nike Lunar foam, the zoom kobe 5 which will debut in stores on jan 16th 2010 will not actually have lunar foam, but a forefoot and heel Zoom air pack!

Nike Air Max Lebron 7 @ Nike, Wisma atria! i'm actually considering to cop these, its at $ 239 haha, just nice my pay :d

Zoom kobe V

i was reading *Tuesdays with Morrie* yesterday and there was a chapter on marriage. if i'm not wrong, which is about people who go after status, the network, money and those people who spent money on this and that and when you meet them they will be like hey did i told you about blah blah which i bought ... And Morrie, in the book came up with a possible explanation "that those are people who desire to be loved so they are using materials as substitudes for love, and when they buy something they expect some sort of hug back"

So, why do i like shoes so much?

7pairs, and the number is still growing.....

to me, its...i mean i have 2 pairs of kobes, one gold medal and a playoff pack, its just..Ok behind these kobes, there's a story, a commitment, an inspiration. For kobe, he wants his shoe to truely be his and all the small details of The shoe is from Kobe's proffession, childhood, achievements, birthdate etc. SO what i'm trying to say is that to me , its the passion, the love and the pride that's within, and of course, confidence. Kobe, for the record, scored 61 points in Madison Square, with the del sol zoom kobe 4s, so i mean its an honour, because you share his achievements.

*sorry if all these doesn't make any sense to you, my words will only matter to you if you understand and care about me*

Oh btw, Love for a person- The strongest human feeling on earth.
