Chances - Athlete

Take all your chances while you can
You never know when they'll pass you by
Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over

Take me over

If I had the chance to start again
Then you would be the one I'd come and find
Like a poster of Berlin on my wall
Maybe there's a chance our walls might fall

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over

It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over

I know I because I cant calculate

How to start again
How to start again
How to start again
How to start again

It's all about you

last day of school outing with some samba people. i haven't gone out properly for so long that it felt really good that exams are here. yes exams are here but i really prefer studying to dealing with project group members.
the usual mehmeh and fat jiakai. jolene and renee joined us. like phew or else we'd have had to look at the same people for a week! and now we realise that next term's tuesdays we'll be with each other from 830 am class till 11 pm samba. talk about overdose man. but it's okay love's overflowing between us. haha.
anyway riciotti was really worth it. yum yum.

the tennis four. (from L - R: u-jin, mehmeh, fat kiat, fat jiakai)

yes i know the latter 2 are fat but you can't fault us for effort in trying to play tennis to beat the flab. but when every session follows up with a mega pig out session at chomp chomp hawker it ain't that healthy afterall. so we've been playing tennis these 2 weeks, kindly weirdly cos it's the last 2 weeks of proper school and everyone's rushing deadlines and beginning to hit the books but well, we think time spent having fun is time well spent. ok lah at least i think so. been trying to look for rollerblading buddies but it's been kinda futile so far. but okay so far it's 3 sports that make me wanna get up and moving.

1. football

typical guy stuff. i try to play everytime there's a session on saturday but with school work and other commitments it's really been difficult.

2. rollerblading

learnt this at maybe 12 or 13? really learnt via falling with my dad being coach cos. my dad doesn't blade. but yea the whole idea of blading down the east coast park checking out the sun, sand, and babes really gets me motivated to get moving. okay but of course there're health benefits too. we used to blade alot back in vj buttttt. my friends now don't like to get moving on wheels.

3. tennis

latest pick up. hope this fad lasts! only properly learnt about the "windscreen motion" and various grips courtesy of mehmeh these past sessions.

how about you? (eugene eating doesn't count. and chloe i know you can't ride a bike.)

waking up at 730 am to brush your teeth and then going back to sleep until 830 am is useless for doing work. i know, cos i just it.

i usually wake up 30 mins before i have to leave for school, rush through everything and end up on the trains perspiring. but i've been trying to cultivate the habit of sleeping by midnight and waking up by 6, or something like 5 hours before i need to leave the house for school. it lasted all of 3 days i think, and those 3 days felt good. i've always wanted to do the whole morning coffee/read the newspapers thing, and i figured mornings passed really slowly when you woke up early. well i still have 2 hours for it. but it's meant for work.

work,work.

how long before work/school do you wake up?

it's a happy monday.

it's not so tough being called a pigeon afterall.

PARIS - Pigeons and baboons have a remarkably good long-term memory, according to a study by French and US animal behaviourists published on Monday.

Mr Joel Fagot of France's National Centre for Scientific Research in Marseille and Mr Robert Cook of Tufts University, Massachusetts, recruited both species in an innovative test into picture recall.

Two male 18-year-old baboons and two Silver King pigeons were placed in front of computers and were shown pictures.

They had to peck - in the case of the monkeys, using a joystick - a cross or a circle to show whether or not they had seen the image before.

Over five years, birds Linus and BF memorised 800 to 1,200 different pictures before reaching their limit.

The baboons, more prosaically called No. 3 and No. 9, had memorised 3,500 to 5,000 pictures and had not yet reached a limit by the end of the study.

The two species demonstrated similar memory-loss rates and reaction times.

They only differed in their memory capacity, according to the paper, which appears in the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

'We can infer that the baboons performed below their real capability level, given that they achieved an 80 per cent accuracy rate after the learning period,' Mr Fagot said in an interview.

Memory capacity was probably shaped powerfully by evolution and was probably key to the rise of intelligence in humans, the authors suggest. -- AFP
