Name in the meda.

I was recently on Google & decided to check if there's anything about my name. & look at the websites that has got my interviews and quotes inside.

"Handball player Oscar Ooi, 17, said he was thoroughly enjoying his stay. "I'm truly treasuring the time I have here because this is probably going to be the only time that I get to meet and stay with people from so, so many nations," he said.

When asked about some of the quirks his newfound friends had, Oscar said: "I realised that the Australian athletes prefer to wear socks to bed because it's supposed to make them sleep better."

Oscar admitted that he was initially reluctant about the idea of Village life prior to the Games - staying away from the comfort of his own home and away from his friends and favourite computer games seemed unappealing.

Since his first day in the YOV, however, he has made friends from over a dozen countries. "It has been amazing to meet this bunch of friendly people. Through staying with them, I have learned more of their culture and experience not just in handball, but in life as well."

'That facing the world's best is the best way to improve. I may not have won, but I'm walking away a better fighter.'

Ohmygod,
i'ma like so excited for this event please. I'ma like the one to

JPSAE & JAE Submission

I've made my choices for JAE alr.

I hope i get in the courses listed in here. & i've also submitted my application for JPSAE also. Hope i really get called down for interview or anything. Just as long as i can get into a Poly, please. :/

JPSAE Application.

My heart racing @ 300 miles an hour.

For the 2nd time of my life,
I'll be experiencing this feeling again. But this time, it's different. I've went through Results taking last year, but this year, i'm sure, it isn't the same. I feel so afraid now. Uncountable thoughts flow through my mind. "What if I did worse that last year?", or, "What if i could only enter an ITE?". There're too much thoughts for me to just explain it out. I can't even post properly. I can no longer feel the eagerness to post again. :/

The moment of anxiety,
the fear that slaps your face to wake you up from your Semi-Conscious state, the curiosity you have when someone passes you your result slip. You experience everything in the battlefield. But this time, it determines your fate. It determines where you are going for the rest of your life. You might feel, failing this National Examination, is not such of a big deal. You'll only wakeup after years of suffering, then to reflect back, why haven't you studied well when you're in the Secondary School Years.

I don't know what to say right now,
i just feel so afraid. Don't ask me to hush, or to stay calm, i have to be frank, it's not helping at all. I feel the pressure this time round. What if i disappoint them with my Second Attempt? Although i do have to admit, i did try alotalot harder this year despite having to put aside everything irrelevant. I had to balance between YOG, School & everything which meant so much to me.

I'm turning 18 soon.
& soon, i'ma gonna have my on responsibilities to takecare of. I'm not too sure when. But I'm just gonna let nature takes it's course. I wanna divert my attention of O'levels away for a moment now. But wait, someone just told me, "I think you're over-afraid, i see everyone not as afraid as you.". Of course I'm afraid, it's the Second time i took my O'levels ): I want to enter a Poly. Any Poly is fine, just as long as it is a Design Course ):

For my Emaths, i hope i could get as least a C6. A C6 or C5 can bring me to quite an amount. Although not majority of the courses. But at least, it's a certain amount or part of the Poly Courses.

Okay,
I really don't know what to say alr. I am damn scared now. As long as i can get below 20 points for L1B4, I'm more than contented alr. So god, or whoever out there, please bless me with 20points. & I'll love you to the max.
