grr.. geog textbook lost.. and 100% is lost in school.. besides it didn't drop, i still saw in when i put my bag down when i reached class.. and i went to prac at band room, then came back to class for flag raising cos wet weather.. not sure if it was still there.. but went for PE, came back for geog and it's gone already!!

in the space of 2 hours.. what the hell how can anyone do this? even if you wanted to borrow it, at least leave a note with your name and class? then at least i know who it is.. but how would anyone even know that i HAD a geog textbook IN MY BAG, AT THAT POINT IN TIME?!

i still rather it's dropped somewhere, although i know it's not.. if somebody really took it, please return it quickly! i will be grateful... and at least apologise. if not, or if whoever took it doesn't return it at all, well

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


lol wtf? shaun was using it.. lucky i asked him online before deciding to ask mr koh.. and it was on his table when he reached school today.. apparently sby put on th table then he put on shaun table. shaun never bring so he use.. wahlao heng at least i found it. ya true.. in class wont lost de.. anyway is my senior's name so shaun dunno return to who.. at least with him i know..

but like what the hell? how did my geog textbook land on th table anyway. lmao somebody take out of my bag and put on th table? imba..

'Serbia's Novak Djokovic beat unseeded French sensation Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open.'

'The third seed withstood an early barrage from Tsonga to win 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-6 (7-2) and become the first Serb to win a Grand Slam singles title.'

courtesy of BBC Sports
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/7210361.stm

well well, so congratulations to Djokovic.. but kudos to Tsonga, who has been sensational at this Australian Open, especially with his demolishing of Nadal in the semis. it's too bad Djokovic won it, i was hoping for Tsonga to win before the match.

so, the 3 hour 6 minute final win for Djokovic ends an 11-Grand Slam run won by either Federer or Nadal.


and COME ON MAN UNITED! against Tottenham in their FA Cup tie. Giggs starts! my favourite player, hope he has a fantastic game.


Saturday, January 26, 2008 | 12:34 PM

congratulations.. to Maria Sharapova for winning her 3rd grand slam with a 7-5 6-3 victory over Ana Ivanovic in the Australian Open 2008 final..

dunno why, don't really know him either.. but i hope Tsonga wins the men's Australian Open final

today band ended quite early... about 545.. sian like one set of band room keys are still missing. and indoor test is on monday..

you know, have you ever felt like life is like, maybe not completely meaningless, but like so monotonous that you feel you aren't actually doing anything at all? life revolves around the same few things.. my life seems to be school and band.. not actually making much progress.. and these few weeks always feel very lethargic and tired.. can't concentrate in lessons.. like mind block all the time.

then sometimes.. you get decisions. decision making while it may be easy for some people, is like very tough for me, and probably some others too. like weijie said before, everyone needs a kind of affirmative.. need people to be confident in them, to trust them, to back them, to talk to them.. and then sometimes they just don't encourage you, instead they make you feel bad and all, it may be words.. or worse, lack thereof..

well, if you got what i said, i suppose it's good for you.. if you don't get it and want to know, well don't bother.

p.s. 25.89.. PLL skip.. but even cubing doesn't feel any much fun anymore.. breaking my own records is only mildly interesting and the interest lasts for a second.. after that.. it's back to... haiz dunno why i'm thinking like this

BRILLIANT! FANTASTIC EVERYONE MUST WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!!!



| 10:03 PM

'Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga produced an outstanding display to oust second seed Rafael Nadal 6-2 6-3 6-2 and reach the final of the Australian Open.'

quote from BBC sports:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/7206398.stm

I don't really know that much about tennis, but I have been following the Australian Open quite a bit, and it looks like the unseeded Tsonga has been brilliant in this Open. After beating Andy Murray in round one, world number 38, and competing only in his fifth Grand Slam, now thrashing Nadal 6-2 6-3 6-2, producing 49 winners to 13 from Nadal, and ending the epic with an ace. Inspirational Tsonga was in complete command, and Nadal had no answer, being made to look 'one dimensional, under powered and half-a-step slow - impossible accusations until now' (from BBC Sport's Piers Newbery), even though Nadal himself had not previously dropped a set in the Open.


and on the women's side, Maria Sharapova reached the Australian Open final with a 6-3 6-1 win over Jelena Jankovic, where she faces Ana Ivanovic, while previously stunning world number 1 Justine Henin with an absolute thrashing in a 6-4 6-0 victory.

amazing from Sharapova and Tsonga, and I wish them all the best in their respective finals!

lol my 4x4x4 rubik's revenge has two more timed solves... my fastest is now 4.47.44 lol

and for the flip-edgepair in the final step: (Rr)2 B2 U2 (Ll) U2 (Rr)' U2 (Rr) U2 F2 (Rr) F2 (Ll)' B2 (Rr)2

optional ones:

directly opposite edge-pair switch: r2 U2 r2 (Uu)2 r2 u2

adjacent corner switch: (Uu)2 (Ll)2 U2 l2 U2 (Ll)2 (Uu)2 F' U' F U F R' F2 U F U F' U' F R

diagonal corner switch (upper right front): (Uu)2 (Ll)2 U2 l2 U2 (Ll)2 (Uu)2 R U' L U2 R' U R L' U' L U2 R' U L' U

That it made you believe in
No man, no cry
Maybe that's why

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally,
Get to love somebody
Guess what,
It's gonna be me..

[JC:]
You've got no choice, babe
But to move on, and you know
There ain't no time to waste
You're just too blind (too blind), too see
But in the end, ya know it's gonna be me
You can't deny
So just tell me why

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody (somebody)
Guess what (guess what)
It's gonna be me

[Lance:] It's gonna be me
[Justin:] Oh yeahhhhh...

[Justin:]
There comes a day
When I'll be the one, you'll see..
It's gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna-gonna

[Justin:] It's gonna be me

All that I do
Is not enough for you
Don't wanna lose it
But I'm not like that
When finally (finally)
You get to love
Guess what (guess what)

Every little thing I do
Never seems enough for you (for you babe)
You don't wanna lose it again (don't wanna lose it)
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally
Get to love somebody (love..)
Guess what (guess what)
It's gonna be me

Every little thing I do (ohh...)
Never seems enough for you
You don't wanna lose it again (don't wanna lose it)
But I'm not like them
Baby, when you finally (baby when you finally)
Get to love somebody
Guess what (guess what)

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted - One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?


[hook;]
...
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
