Arm Entanglement

Today, I twisted my arm during bowling. I over twisted it in fact. All my strike shots were off angle and stuff.  I went to eat with my aunts and grandmother before bowling. My aunts and I talked about where Grandma is staying and some other things while pest removal is going on. Got scolded by juniors using vulgarity also.  I also got scolded by a retarded Dnt teacher and his student for attempting to take a chair. What's his problem?! Retarded old man.

Actually today nothing much. I am just practicing desert song by hillsong and some others on my guitar. Tomorrow got pilate. Sigh. By the way, my new chair and table has been installed in my room. They are M.A.S.S.I.V.E!!!! They take 1/4 of my room.

Close brush with death

Today, was a very and I mean VERY scary day. I enjoyed today's bowling training the most today as I spared a lot and had a great time with my juniors and friends. After my bowling session, I walked back home with Sebatian. We jay-walked after we bought our drinks but somewhere in the middle of the road, we were stuck as many cars went by us. FIVE TO EIGHT CARS almost rammed my arm off. They brushed my arms on either side very quickly. Finally, I managed to cross the road after a while. Thank Lord I am still in one piece!!! Kids, don't ever jay-walk on the road. Don't try this at home.

Reminiscence(Korea)

Ok, here's the post about my trip to korea many people wanted to see. 
Day 1 and 2
I arrived in Incheon International Airport in Seoul. With no sleep at all, I begin my tour straight away after the 6 hours flight. I went to the war museum where huge slabs of stone with names of dead soldiers engraved on it. Each slab had.... I don't know, 100? 1000? Quite a number so i did not count.
Then, my parents and I went to Namsam Park and walked about as my tour guide showed us around until we arrived at Seoul tower. Of course, in all towers you must go to the top and look around to see nice scenary, so we did. But when I reached there, every root and corner of every railing had locks and chains on them. There were words of love and whatever mushy things you can think off written on them according to my tour guide. But, EVERYTHING WAS IN KOREAN!!!! What a waste.
The next day, we finally went to Jeju island by bus. We went to one of the scenic spots known as the Yongdam Dragon Rock. Can't see the dragon though.
Day 3
Woke up very early and took a cruise to get a clearer view of Seongsan Sunrise Peak and Yongdam Dragon Rock. The temperature at Jeju then was about 12 to 14 degrees I think. But the view at these 2 places were really nice. After these, it was place after place view after view. Non-stop. Very rushing and exhausting.We went to Seongup Folk Village  to see the "door gods" and learnt how people release their erm......... bowels. There, we bought a few bottles of honey. When it was night, we went to TopDong Street to shop. But most of it was female stuff. Then, we went to watch "Nanta", a non verbal performance. It was really funny and interesting to see their drum skills being displayed in a perfomance.
Day 4
Visited the tangerine orchard but, ALL THE ORANGES ARE FAKE!!! How cheating. We went to O' Sulloc Tea Museum to try out tea and learn how it is made. There, I bought a green tea swiss roll with ice cream in it. The next place we went was the famous Teddy Bear Museum!! Everything had bear faces in it. Even the poker cards. But the shocking thing is that......... EVERYTHING WAS MADE IN CHINA!!!! Ohhhhh the disappointment...........:'( So we didn't buy anything at all.
We went to Korea's mysterious road next.................. ooooooooooooooh creeepy........ Water flowed upwards there and the bus, when brakes are not set, moved uphill...........
After that creepy adventure, we went to Everland. We went on some rides that the tour recommended. We saw tigers, elephants and stuff in one ride. While the others, just thrill rides. Then, we took another flight to Kimpo Domestic Airport.
From there, we visited the strawberry farm and plucked a few strawberries. We exceeded our limit though. :P
Day 5
We took a cable car ride to Yongpyong Dragon Valley where "Winter Sonata" by Bae Yong Joon was filmed. Next we went to the Korean Traditional Centre to make our own kimchi and try on the hanbok.
Day 6
We visited Yasan Farm and made ice cream. We also fed some of the cows and goats there. After feeding we went on a tractor and toured around the farm to see how a sheep-dog works.( Many mosquitos were there)
After the long and tiring day, we finally went to Decksan Spa Castle and enjoyed life.
Day 7
Visited Odbo and had a skin care course and face shop. After that we went to the Ginseng Monopoly showroom. In there, I saw many weird structures of ginseng. Each structure had a name. I don't understand why people bother naming ginseng when they are going to eat them anyway. -,- Next, we went to the Korean Cordyceps Showroom and Amethyst factory(purple jewellary).
Namedaemun and Myondong were next. After which, Lotte world. The place where the korean drama, "Stairway To Heaven" was filmed. Every ride there was so boring and old. The only things that were nice were the light displays. Even Everland was better.
Day 8
As a final bonus, we went on a cruise ship and fed sea-gulls with prawn crackers. That's right, human food, prawn crackers. The sea gulls flew around in circles systematically and when i threw a cracker to feed them, they caught it and continued flying. If they didn't catch it, they just leave it behind for others to catch.

Oh ya!!! NEW FIGURINE COLLECTION!!!

Today has been an extremely tiring day. I went to Orchard with my mum to shop and window-browse while my father went to have his spa.
My mother and I first went to Robinsons to purchase what we needed for our trip to korea next Tuesday. Of course, I went to the toys section to see if there is any nice figurines to buy. Indeed, I found one Gundam Three Kingdoms Series that was very erm.... complicated. It is bigger than normal and it cost me $25.95!!! :'( But it was worth it....... Anyway it wasn't me paying for it, it was my father haha XD.
Because it is a Saturday, Orchard was very crowded. Many people keep banging into my sholder and body. When I returned home, I immediately started fixing my figurine. I spent 2 hours fixing it..... ;'( But the end product was worth it. Fixing something out of nothing was hard work.... but in the end, you get to admire what you work so hard for. That is why I find it fun.

A small smile

Even though it is quite late now, I still want to update my blog about what happened yesterday.
As I go to church every Saturday, I see all my brothers and Sisters of Christ. Actually, I was suppose to go for guitar lessons yeaterday before I go to church but, Isaac had a marathon to run. So, I slept until 1p.m yesterday.
Anyway, everything progressed as normal, I did my usherer duty etc. When cell ended, I saw my friend, I waved at her but got back nothing. :'( Guess she dislikes me or maybe she did give me a small smile but I didn't notice it. I'm afraid I'm a thorn in her flesh. :'(  I hope things will improve.

Release of the verdict

Today is the day when my teacher release my report card back to me. This is the day I would rather never have.
My results were worst than crap. All Bs and 2As+1C. Crap. Teacher said: " Don't lose hope Jonathan." To me, I felt there was no need to lose hope. CAUSE THERE WASN'T ANY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! She said there was still a chance for me to perform well in year-end and get to choose the subjects I want in streaming. 
Anyway, I think I'm going to stop all computer activities for a while IF I can help it. Have to finish my holiday homework and plan for year-end.
The good news about today is that all my illness have recovered bout 90% except my arm and legs. They still cannot use any strength. Darn.

Last day of school

Last day of school today. Lazy type blog but well, got nothing to do anyway.
Today, I got Aaron's cube confiscated and got it back. Don't know why the teacher don't want to accept my bribe for the cube when I offered. Nevermind, yesterday he knocked my knee with a bowling ball, today I get his cube confiscated. Now we're even.
On the way home, Aaron and I  saw Siti and Danish together......shouldn't gossip about them shhhhhhhhhh!!! I went home with Min Wei and another friend that always hit me in the stomach. I talked to Min Wei a lot. We talked crap mainly.
My right arm couldn't use any strength at all. Everytime I moved, my arm ached like crap.  And I kept sneezing and coughing non stop.
Don't know why but I felt very sad today. Think I got depression. Haha! What a joke.
