Cycle Crash

Four kilometers to Changi Beach. I was cycling happily en route to Changi Beach, albeit tired, with my friends Jonathan, Elton, Junsheng and Yue Long, along with Primer Zhihong and our Officer-in-Charge Mr. Yuen.

I was enjoying the wind as we sped downhill on our bicycles. Everyone was ahead of me because I was very tired, not to say that they weren't. My stamina prevented my body from performing any more physical activities, but my positive mindset, attitude, and will kept me going, and so did Mr. Yuen's positive reinforcements. 'Mind over matter,' Mr. Tay stated before the adventure began. I've heard that phrase from my mother before, but it wasn't relating to pain; it related to testing me if I could hold my laughter while she tickled me.

As I cycled downhill, I felt an intolerable itch on my right ear. My right hand let go of the grip to scratch my ear. I imagined it wouldn't be so bad because I was used to doing this.

As I proceeded to put back my right hand on the handle, the bike suddenly lost control and it made a sudden right turn, which put me off the pavement and on the grass. Frustrated, I tried to get back on the pavement. I tried to make a left turn in an attempt to get back on track, thinking that I've done it before so I can do it again. The accident took place in the blink of an eye.

With my attempt failing, I launched forward off of my bicycle and hit my upper left tooth. My helmet hit the ground and flew off, because it wasn't strapped on properly. I didn't bother strapping it on because it strangled me. As it flew off, I continued to crash on the ground. I zoned out for a few seconds before I regained consciousness.

I moved my hand away from my face, which was a pathetic attempt to protect my head, I saw something I've never experienced before : blood. I was bleeding, and there was a lot of it. 'I don't believe it,' I thought, and tried to spit to see and saw only more blood. Bright, led liquid dripped from my face. My chin was scraped and I didn't even realized I bit my lower lip, which left a surprisingly gaping hole. I reached for it and it was bleeding badly. My upper left tooth was also chipped. My right palm was wounded and my left knee gashed as well. My left pinky finger was scraped and I obtained a few more minor cuts. I was in a bad condition. Pain was something I couldn't feel then; Either I was used to physical pain, had a high tolerance for physical pain, or the shock was much greater for me to feel any pain.

As I woke from my state of oblivion, I heard my officer stopping the rest of my groupmates. He told me to gargle water to help my bleeding situation. He helped me apply first aid by cleaning my wounds, which was pouring water over my wounds and gently cleaning it with a piece of tissue paper. A Malay couple stopped by to aid us by giving us extra water and tissue paper. Mr. Yuen had already contacted Mr. Tay about my situation, and he was already en route to our location. I sat there, blankly staring into space : why did this happen? How was I so careless? Isn't this supposed to hurt? Then how come I'm not feeling any pain? It seemed as though everything was a blur and I did not understand a speck of detail. All I did was stare into space, shocked. Some people would probably be traumatized by an eye-opening experience like this. Probably most people would, but I wasn't.

Help arrived. Mr. Tay brought me to Loyang Point with Clement, a secondary 2 student junior, to bring me to a clinic. At Raffles Medical Clinic, they cleaned my wounds and sealed my busted lip with cream. The nurse then patched up my knee injury and my right palm gash. Then I was given a medical certificate stating that I was unfit for school.

Now here I am, reflecting on my recent experience and sharing it on my blog, open to all readers. To other cycling enthusiasts, all I can say is to be careful out there, no matter how proficient and experienced you are, because I don't want you to have the same, shocking experience I had.

My vids.

Recently I've been making fanvids (fanmade videos) which are AMV (Anime Music Video) using Windows Moviemaker. I've done this before and have uploaded some of it to YouTube. But now, I can't, because YouTube has a new rule that it has to be copyright. How am I supposed to get permission from Square Enix Co. and Linkin Park!? So anyway I'm gonna post it here (because Facebook Videos won't allow it either.) This is purely fanmade. I do not own Final Fantasy - Advent Children. Advent Children belongs to Square Enix Co. The song, New Divide, belongs to Linkin Park, not I. I do not claim ownership over any content in this video. I may be infringing some copyright laws but I cannot stop myself from posting this. It's too awesome not to share. =D.




This is the video I put together. Please forgive me if I cause trouble by infringing some copyright laws.

I love life.

Recently, I met this girl from Denmark via online chats on IMVU. Her name is Tina. She is the prettiest, cutest and nicest girl I've ever met, although I wish I really met her in real life. But she's in Denmark. o.o

We've been chatting for some days now via MSN Messenger's VideoChat.

Oh, and Yes! I didn't fail E-maths after all!
I'm gonna be promoted to Secondary Four Express! Yay!

:D

Oh, and I want to share this great breakfast, lunch or whatever mealtime recipe that I cooked up. Haha. It's very original in my opinion, but someone may have already cooked this before I did. :D

Cheesy Crunchy Corned Beef
Ingredients :
1 can of Corned Beef, or you can also use those that aren't canned
2 cheese squares (or more)
2 eggs
Canola Cooking Oil or Vegetable oil or whatever oil
1 tsp Garlic, chopped (preferably the ones that are already chopped when bought)
2 small onions (chopped, optional)

Materials:
Frying pan, non-stick preferably
Spatula

Procedure:
Heat the frying pan and add a small amount of cooking oil, just enough to make sure that the corned beef will not stick to the pan. Add the garlic and the onions. Saute until the onions give a transparent-like coloration. Add the corned beef, and stir every 2-3 minutes. After about 10 minutes, add the eggs and stir again. When the egg white appears cooked, add the cheese squares. Stir until the cheese melts. Let it cook for about 5 minutes then stir thoroughly before serving. Should make about enough for 2-4 persons. Serve while hot. :D

Photos:
Corned beef, with cheese squares and egg. The egg is stir-fried hence it is not very visible. The cheese has also melted.

Not a very good shot of the corned beef after it has been served. :D. Looks delicious. I'm hungry...

Army Open House, 2009!!!

The Apache Longbow! Woohoo!!!

An anti-armor missile, or in layman terms, an anti-tank missile.

The Bionix Infantry-Fighting-Vehicle

The Bronco

The Leopard 2A4 Tank

The Army Open House 2009 was great! I went there! LOL! Duh!
The photos I took myself using my LGKF700 phone. Haha. :)

The experience of being around tanks and other armored vehicles is awesome, and the feeling of shooting a rifle is even better! I shot an assault rifle manufactured here in Singapore known as Singapore Assault Rifle (SAR) 21. It's an awesome feeling, shooting dummies on board a Bronco (shown above, 4th photo). Yeah, today's a great day. :)!!!

September Holidays ftw....

My to do list:
1. Finish Chem Homework
2. Finish Maths Homework
3. Finish Bio Homework
4. Finish English Homework
5. Master my guitar. :)
6. Have a great time!



So much for the holidays! Plus, we need to attend a few holiday classes next week! GREAT!!! So much for the holidays! What! The! Heck!

Anyway, if I'll survive the holidays, I'm gonna do my best for EYE!

Also, I think me and Choon Hui finally made peace. FINALLY!

Haha. That should be about it. :D

Signing off!

Moving on up...

Three MAJOR updates, but I decided the title should be about the biggest and most important update.

Minor updates :
1. I've recently been attracted to poetry
2. Drill exam is tomorrow! Oh no! Haha

MAJOR Updates
1. I haven't posted for a while now, so this post itself is the Major Update!
2. Woohoo! Social Status upgraded! I think. Lol. This is the super-duper-awesome update. Haha.
3. New Frienemy : Choon Hui.


Ok, on minor updates...

I've recently been attracted to poetry. I don't know why, but ever since it began raining downpours, I've been wanting to make poetry. About the rain. Haha. I love the rain somehow. And washing dishes. Anything that gets me wet for no reason at all. Taking a bath, swimming, getting wet in the rain...

Here's the poem I wrote:

Bright Shower

Rain, shine, intertwine
Seasons, climates, so sublime
Weather whether day or night
My soul shall start to shine in light

Souls of which, of those who bring
To people, happiness to the brim
And cheer them with a crescent smile
No more forlorn, no more exiled.

Haha. It's not really that nice. It's basically just a bunch of words I thought up and put together so that it will rhyme and have some sort of meaning. Kinda. Did it in three minutes. LOL.

Ok, next minor update.
Drill exams are here. I. Am. So. SCREWED!!! Not that I don't know any of the drills. Just that my uniform is a tad out of order. Will fix it best I can!

MAJOR UPDATES TIME!!!
Woohoo!

Woohoo....


.......

Ok. A lot has happened since I last posted. Like, ACES Day is coming, Teacher's Day is coming, Doomsday (EYE) is coming.
Waaaaa! How can the Foreignger keep up with this!?

Social Status moved up. Not that there is a social ladder here in BLSS. Or is there? I don't know. All I know is that I'm becoming more and more friendly. Friends with Justly, Pei Jun, Yan Qi, Haziq... Basically the entire classroom! LOL!

Third Major Update

Choon Hui is being a really immature ass. Plus, his blog contains nothing but vulgarities and scolding people and criticizing them. Come to think of it, when you see it in the right light, he's much much worse than the people he's scolding and criticizing. He's a crybaby and is absolutely impulsive and sensitive to even a joke. He takes it seriously as an insult. Bah. Poor him. His uberTiny brain can't take it. LOL.

Uuurggghhh....

"Pure Biology students are to stay back after school for supplementary lessons," Said our Biology Teacher. I was like, "Ok, sure"

"Pure Chemistry students are to study and answer these exercises," says our Chemistry teacher. I was like, "Sure, why not"

"Ok, E-Mathematics students are to do their homework pages bla bla bla..." says our Elementary Mathematics teacher. I was like "..."

My classmate says "Hey, tomorrow is our presentation for English." I was like " I KNOW!"

A fellow Boy's Brigade cadet told me "Hey, the parade orders are up on the blog. You should print it out and post it in the Oracle." I was like "Urgh."

Another one of these days and I'm gonna consider saying "I'm outta here!"

LoL. Well, those are some of my problems. In school, that is.
Wish I could finish this all up in time, which I will!
Lol!!!!

Hmm..


What to type?


Hmm...


typity-typity-type. Lol.

Oh, and I beat my classmate in Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection. Lol. Irrelevant, huh?

I'll just end this for you.

End.

This game is unbelievably addicting...

A wallpaper from Monster Hunter 3 featuring my favorite foe, Rathalos, roaring at a hunter.

Has anyone ever heard of the game "Monster Hunter Freedom Unite"? Its an absolutely fun and addicting game to play. It is an RPG type of game (I think) where you, a Hunter of Pokke Village must overcome, eliminate or capture various mythological and fictional beasts. Fighting giant primates, going toe-to-toe with dragons and capturing wyverns hardly gives sufficient description to the game.

Shown here is an official wallpaper of the upcoming Monster Hunter 3, currently only available in the Japanese version and playable only on Nintendo Wii. There's a reason to why only Wii, and if you want to find out, go and search Monster Hunter 3 in Wikipedia.

I was first introduced to this game when I saw my friends playing on their PSP's. At first, I thought, "Ok, so its a game where you fight monsters. It's not really that good." Honestly, I thought it was crap. But when my friend gave me a copy of Monster Hunter 2 Freedom Unite on PSP, I was absolutely shocked as to how this game is so perfect in terms of gameplay, graphics and level of difficulty. Then I was all hooked and was all like, "I've got to beat this monster!!!" I usually would spend hours playing this game. It's really that awesome. If there are any Hunters viewing this blog right now, make a comment with your Guild Card Title in my tagboard.
Here's a few details on my progress:

Hunter Rank 3
Current Quest Tier: Nekoht Felyne Elder 7STAR quests
Weapon:
Main - Blue Claw Blade (816 Raw Damage, No Elements)
Sub - Anvil Hammer (884 Raw Damage, No Elements)
Situational - Black Bow I (190 Raw Damage, 120 Dragon Element)

Armor:
Main - Full Rathalos Soul Armor [Blademaster] (Reckless Abandon +1, Attack Up Med, Earplugs)
Situational - Full Obituary Armor [Gunner] (Evade+1, Abn Attack Up, PoisonCoat Add)

I'm sure that most of you guys who may or may not be reading my blog do not understand what I am talking about. In order for you to absorb the language, you must play the game yourself. It's a really fun and rewarding (in-game rewards, FYI) experience.


On another page, today was a so-so day. My Ninang Athel and Ninong Orwin came to visit. For those who do not know, ninang means godmother and ninong means godfather in English. I'm speaking plain Tagalog by the way. The Foreignger is Filipino if you haven't guessed by now. Which I doubt.

Another thing today; I'm really bored. At times like this I wish we had homework.

But ONLY at times like this.

Signing off.

Highlights

Something immediately came to my mind.

Highlights. My hair was blood-red during National day with a hint of white. I looked like a Demon yesterday. An awesome Demon. Not Devil. They're different. Anyway, me with flaming blood-red hair and pale white highlights looked awesome. Most girls said that when I asked them, anyway. ROTFLMAO.

National Day, NO CCA, Mascothood WTH...

NATIONAL DAY
National Day was as awesome as it was boring. First of all, the National Day speech sounded exactly like it was taken from a lengthy History Essay. ... . Another factor was that I didn't know the OLD National Day songs and I barely knew the NEW National Day song. >.>.....

There is an upside to this though. There were barely any teachers noticing however. We were just slacking (some of us sleeping) through the entire address.

Charity Bazaar was wack. It was boring, the stalls didn't sell any good food, the canteen sounded like a farting guy who had diarrhea (strictly a figure of speech), and the drinks were warm. Piss warm. Lol. It wasn't cooled properly, so some of us.... well, didn't fare well.

MASCOTHOOD

Probably The Foreign-ger's most hated part of the National Day celebration. We didn't win, I didn't care. Lol. They designed the freaking costume anyway (which made me look like Doc Oc from Spiderman although it was supposed to be the Singapore Flyer hanging on my back)

Hey, the mask wasn't so bad... I actually wore it. Wanna know what the mask was?


A glittery Phantom-of-the-Opera-kind of mask. Bright pink of course. I know it sounds gay and weird and all, but it actually isn't. Lol. I even think I impressed the girl I like. Wait, I like someone in class? :p.

Well, yes I do. I like her a little bit. She's cute and pretty. Lol. I'm not telling anyone. I'm not spilling.


NO CCA.

The oh-so-nice part of National Day Celebrations. While most of my other schoolmates still had CCA because their CCA day is usually on weekdays, those from the Boy's Brigade were lucky. Our CCA is on SATURDAYS ONLY. YEHEEEEEY!!!!

Post ends here. If something comes to my mind that something should be added (or if someone tells The Foreign-ger to do so), I'll post another.

The Foreign-ger likey this part. Lol. Stupidtalk.

The Foreign-ger's life...

Hello! Just started a new blog under a fresh name!

I'm not really new to Blogger, but the last time I blogged was like so long ago. I've forgotten my old blog address and my old account, so I decided to start a new blog. Good stuff, that blog.

So, the Foreign-ger's life.

Lol. Why the Foreign-ger, not Foreigner? First off, it sounds funny. Lol. I'm a fun loving and funny person. Second, it reminds me of my old class back in my homeland. Our Social Studies teacher always liked to joke around, so instead of foreigners, he'd say foreign-ger.

Third is because I'm a foreign-ger to the country which I'm studying and living in. I'm a Filipino student studying in Singapore. I won't indicate which school, as I know that the net can be safe as protecting yourself from rain using a piece of paper. Lol.

So, a foreign-ger's life for me.

Today's post: National Day!

Although not a citizen, I enjoy National Day as much as my Singaporean classmates.
Why, you may ask? I have three reasons.

One. I wear casual clothes instead of the usual stuffy school uniform that's prescribed (But it has to be red or white in base color)

Two. It's a fun occasion and a cool experience for a foreign-ger like me.

Three. No lessons conducted throughout the whole day!



The most annoying part would probably be preparation.
First I have to help design the banner (Which usually ends up as me and Jun Jie doing it through the end)
Second is that I have to design the class t-shirt
Third is that my classmates keep bugging me about it!

Lol. And this year, there's something new.

Yan Qi: "Hey you are the class mascot"
Me: "Oh, ok, ok..."

____/\ /\ /\___
\/ \/

Me: "WAIT, WHAT THE!!!"

Yep, I'm the class's freaking mascot.

Worst thing that's happened in my life.
.

So far....


Well, that's it for today's post. I'll post tomorrow too.

Everyone have an awesome National Day!!!
