Woots! Today was a fun day :D Had to go to school to put together the finishing touches for the proposal. The only difference was that many people came today. The result was that things were done at a quicker pace and in the end, we managed to wrap up by noon. Cliff brought his D90 today, so we decided to go around the school to take some photos. Here are the pictures stolen from his blog, haha
Issac had to go home, so the rest of us went to a lan shop to play for 1 hour. Cs was fun at first but after awhile it go really boring so we played the new game Left 4 Dead. It was a first person-shooter, horror survival game. Stuart had to go after the gamign session, lunch was next and by now it was already around 2pm. Javin and Bryan went off after lunch. The remaining of us went back to the lan shop and paid for another hour of gaming. Thats basically all for today, only 4 words to describe this. Which is fun, fun and more fun ^^ Today is my last post for the year and I hope 2009 will be a better year.

I'm still slacking, never read next year's textbook and all the crap. ^^ I didn't even bother o_o I've been too lazy. I came across an article on how to score straight A's on wiki how, Isaac gave me the link. It's about time I start following the article. I don't have a goal currently, I can't think of one because I totally have no clue as to what courses that I plan to take in future. Maybe, I should start thinking about one soon. Hah, actually goals that are not written down are not goals but wishes. Well, it all has to depend on my results in the very first place. I’m most worried about my English, because it’s like the most important subject? Actually worrying won’t help much, ‘Actions speaks louder than words’. Why don’t I just put in effort to improve my English? Ahh, studies are never ending.
Been watching Band of Brothers lately on YouTube. It's an old miniseries broadcasted on HBO 7 years ago. It's about the experiences of E Company ("Easy Company") of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, United States Army 101st Airborne Division in WWII (so chim right?), I remember watching it before but I couldn't remember the story, so I decided to watch it again. You never cease to amaze me, Band of Brothers ._. I'm still currently watching it. And I've learnt some important lessons from it. Like, some people are a natural borne leader, when certain situation arises, they will take the initiative to do what is best for the platoon. While some others are able to volunteer themselves for certain tasks that may risk your life. I really admire these people for their courage and bravery. I can’t imagine how it’s like to be in a war. Bullets flying everywhere and grenades going off. It must have been a scary thing. But their sheer determination just blows me away.
As I continue to watch the miniseries, I believe that I will learn more about WWII and most importantly, more about the characteristics and qualities of the US soldiers. I wonder if Singaporeans including me, can have such.. sheer determination and leadership quality. Every one of us are leaders, but it's up to us, whether we want to show this quality or not. Anyway, I have confidence in our country. Should there be a war which I really really hope there won't be, the SAF would do its part to protect the people and fight for their country. I hope there will never be a WWIII. World peace is a good thing. Terrorism around the world is already bad enough, not to mention external conflicts between countries. I think I’ll stop here, will post next time!
