This is probably the best video I have ever seen on youtube (or any other video sharing site) Its about this father and son partnership. Dick (father) and Rick (son) Hoyt from america. Rick was partially strangeled by his umbilical cord when he was born so was brain-damaged and cannot control his limbs. But He can communicate by tapping a computer key with his head.
After he told his father that he wanted to run in a charity run for a paralysed schoolmate, his father agreed and ran the race carrying him. Rick said that he did not feel paralysed when he was being pushed in a wheelchair by his dad... so from then on, they enter marathons and triathalons together.
They cant enter as a singel runner, or as a wheelchair competitor so Dick just runs so fast pushing his son, that they qualify within the regular race qualification time for regular runners. (the young man qualifying time not the senior category!) Its amazing! and they are only 35 mins off the world record marathon time! Because of the races, Dick (the dad) even managed to survive a heart blockage simply because he was very fit.
So in some sense the son even saved the father:) While I still don't think marathons are the way to go for optimal exercise, but hey if its for and inspirational use like this its alright (just this time hehe)hope you enjoy the vid. If I'm not wrong the story first came out on Sports Illustrated the sports magazine
Even thou I lacked of this love so badly , but its somehow replaced by something great =) The song seriously means alot for the family. What great will .
Now, take a look at yourself. Are you goddamn fortunate? Yes I am . ~

O level Oral.
I did well, expressed quite a number of jargons :) Except the fact that I stared 5seconds BLANKLY into the examiner eyes TWICE. Overall, Was pleased with the whole event.
But 1 thing I seriously don't understand. All of my F-team got the conversation topic of '
Describe a moment where you went shopping '
MINE WAS ' describe a moment where you went shopping AND something important took place '
CCB ! Why is my question harder -_-' I need to clarify this !
okay, now back to my crap that I have done during my boredom days :) These were the days where I was rich :D Buying/selling virtual items that doesn't even have a meaning in real life. Pwning people like mad. Clan wars EVERYTIME. Able to go 18 hours a day without bathing. The man is actually my In-game Character, with RELICS of 2 different clans. SONGG SIA ! My glorious days =/ A really noob piece( don't even have a border ) , but I love it alot :) .Abstract Art btw =/
And something that is not related at all :) The power of global warming !

Ok ok . I sucked in English oral, that's a fact. Level 1 inferences. Sheeeeshhh .
For some reason , the new jordans are getting uglier -_- " Or maybe it is just me ? hmmm
HMmm.while walking to busstop, I found $2 on the floor =D then treated mervin and myself to a nice freezing icecream. hahahaha.
11 of 29 people have already passed me the class Tee money, EVEN though i spend my time sms-ing ALL of them to bring the money already. Hopefully by monday, I will get even more people to pay up thus can collect Tee :D
ICP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! starts on saturday 8am to 7 pm Ends at sunday 8am to 7pm. Hope i bring back the good news eh ?
Sometime, people take me as granted. Just because I don't express my thoughts, they thinks I'm okay with it. I find it no point in doing so anyway, so screw them! I just wanna make love, not war. There is surely a boundary that you cant go past, and this applies to everyone I believe.
Holy crap, I got no time to study. Sure shagged out after the course.

Fireworks URBAN
This whole sgskaters outing was organized by jaccy but initiated by tianjun. A 'Youth' Outing. An outing is NOT ABOUT how many people is going , but who is going. Great friends comes with great joy ~!
We met at 7pm at memorial but Lex was 30 minutes late ._. Oh yea. The oldest ! hahahaha slalomed and slide abit than we decided to Urban around the city through the thick forest of crowds.
Guess where is this ? Its a restaurant opps the pubs
Although we don't know where are we going, we just skate like there's no one stopping us ! Weee While skating, we saw a bunch of skaters too, the rollersports team. So we decided to join them, but those unfriendly creatures doesn't want us to tag along with them -_- . cheesepie :D Lex never liked the idea of skating through crowded places and instead took off his skates and went back ._.
While i was counting down to the last 5 minutes before the fireworks begin , we were like soldiers penetrating through the grasses(crowds) and FINALLY reached our location which is the below picture. HAHAHA. SONG BO ? The expression of the drivers were like ' WTF , how i wish I'm on skates now ' Traffic police failed their job, but its not their fault, THEY were overrun !
And we were like standing in the middle of the road and watching fireworks? Cool eh ? :P
After the fireworks which is like 5 minutes longer than the past few fireworks that I've seen few days back. Display was ravishing as compared to the rest. HOOOOO~ ahaha. This is my 4th time of seeing fireworks in this WEEK !
The crowd was freaking rowdy..
This fuking bridge is suppose to be for CARS ONLY. not humans! hahahah
We than go to marina, the big patch of grass, sit down and have a great chat. I almost slept sia. The atmosphere was soooo prefect for couples. And of cause, Picture taking time! :)
Than we went to BK. And we were the last customers. Why are we so lucky?
Okay, heres the best part. I actually planned to skate from town to my place. Butkit Merah. But tianjun was taking the train alone, so i decided to accopanied him. We didn't really planned to take off our skates, because we would definately miss the last train because of my seba ._. Than we CHIONG in , tab the card and skated off to the MRT> WOOT ! :D the FEELING is super shiok k.
Please hor, mY PANTS IS NOT a ladies cargo ! its just S size ! a rrrr.
NEVER in my life. A personal achievement. the floor is so nice to slide/slalom! When i reach Tiong Bahru station, i even slided(ACID) in fornt of the control station, that guy was like looking at me , STUNNED! LOL! Damn i love it. This urban rocks again. :)

Hmm.
Yesterday, my brother , his gf and I went to Labrador park just to see the cats there. We have been there so often that we even know EACH of the cats name. ( we asked the auntie that were the 'in-charge' there ' Enjoy the pictures. The white cat is totally retard LOL . Enjoy the pictures as usual.
Cat Name : Baby Status : a retard
Cat Name : Lucky Status : Super friendly cat
Cat Name : no idea. Status : Super shy, but likes to headbutt people.
Now the best part. STEAMBOAT! The original strength that actually planned to go for this outing was ALOTTTT of people. But only 10 turned up. cheessepie :D 1 gal dun come = another gal dun come = 1 boy dun come. MY GOODDDD . What the hell with all these people. Aren't we their friends? Anyway, its freaking fun :)
Fireworks was pleasant lar, but nothing surprising. Probably because of the obstructed view we have.
Mervin ended up with a really bad stomachach. Main reason: he ate 4 steaks of pork in 1 go. The best part is .... Is not FULLY cooked !! HAHAHAHHAHA !!!
1 game = LOTS of spectators Main reason is $$ !
Owning the road while the fireworks display in going on .
And nowwwww. Presenting. The bollywood star, the CHIDIAN , The one and only , THE man and The KIND.

MY 100th post !!! HEEEEhaaa ! >:)
Sweet phone eh ? Multi-tasker. dun ask me the model LOL. looks like w810 thou.
Anyway, I've straighten out my thoughts about buying a new handphone. Currently saved till $100 only of my piggy bank. Since I spent my $400 on the ICP course, which I’m taking VERY soon.Hope can pass, pray for me yah? =/
$100 and going till my n73 ?
At least I don’t ask my sis/bro/dad/mum for money to buy my own stuff. That’s very uncultured I guess.
I’m contented with whatever I have now and I shall live by this way.
