this is my version of 'No matter what' by t.i. i really like the song so i thought of doing my own. 

its a freestyle rap that i recorded and i want to show it to you. 

days have past 

man its like real fast 

can't grip it in my hands

this God given test 

to retain my humanity 

to stay in sanity 

i got to keep it real 

keep check with reality

but i know none of this 

would just fade away

it would stay in my head for a couple days

done wrong things 

for the right reasons 

i'll only be out 

for a dozen more seasons

i screwed up all in just one year 

but can you believe it

i'm still standing here

please don't cry 

don't you ever tear 

i'll stay in your heart

oh honey, my dear

guns on the low down

i cant get away

keeps you with a frown

and more to say

but things dont work out

at the end of the day

i love you 

i promise i'll stay

i'm gonna miss you so much 

miss your touch 

miss the way 

you give me a little nudge 

miss the way we cry 

i hope you understand 

i ain't gonna die

it's here i stand

i ain't dead (nah)

i ain't done (nah)

i ain't scared (of what?)

i ain't run (from who?)

but still i stand (yeah)

no matter what pimpin' 

here i am (yeah) 

no matter what 

remember i ain't break (never)

i ain't fold (never)

they hate me more (so?)

yeah i know (haha)

here i go (yeah) 

no matter what shawty 

here i go 

no matter what shawty

i know nothing changes 

no matter how much i pray

give me some time 

your love won't stray 

it will stay in my heart 

to this very day 

i hope you know 

believe what i say 

i always been pushed 

to the very front line 

got to stand for myself

i do it every time 

i know it hurts 

but i gotta say its fine 

i've got to protect you all

even when i'm blind

i didn't knew it would hurt

to hear my rhymes

but you took them away 

even though it was mine 

should have saw it coming 

time after time 

i'll be away 

so here is my dime 

with every puff 

it gets rough 

my hands got cuffed 

thought it would make me 

so damn tough 

but now i'm wasted 

poker games i bluff

to keep myself alive 

i can't get enough

they are all out there

in the streets of NY

i cant run away 

i really wont lie

please honey 

i aint gonna die

heard it before

you give me a sigh

i ain't dead (nah)

i ain't done (nah)

i ain't scared (of what?)

i ain't run (from who?)

but still i stand (yeah)

no matter what pimpin' 

here i am (yeah) 

no matter what 

remember i ain't break (never)

i ain't fold (never)

they hate me more (so?)

yeah i know (haha)

here i go (yeah) 

no matter what shawty 

here i go 

no matter what shawty

i've got to be the best 

got to beat out the rest 

got to be king of the hill

with the gifts i've been blessed

i got not much time 

before my judgement 

i got so much to say 

before my resentment

but everybody knows 

a homie like me

can't grip my future

because i see

my life in a way

so twisted so dark

can't fight out a way

always out of luck

but i know i'll stay 

this damn strong 

it will be okay 

as i rap this song 

God stay with me 

through this way 

it will be long 

i hope you could stay

from all the passing stars 

the way they add it

they got two dollars

that way they swag it 

but we all know that 

this sure does happen

we wait up 

just to get to heaven

there ain't no shorter root there 

my little homie

if there was 

you gotta show me 

because i've been waiting everyday

hoping the lord could take me away

i ain't dead (nah)

i ain't done (nah)

i ain't scared (of what?)

i ain't run (from who?)

but still i stand (yeah)

no matter what pimpin' 

here i am (yeah) 

no matter what 

remember i ain't break (never)

i ain't fold (never)

they hate me more (so?)

yeah i know (haha)

here i go (yeah) 

no matter what shawty 

here i go 

no matter what shawty

i've been cleaning and packing up my messy room for the past few days. and i was playing some video games too. surprised? well, me too. i'm more of a person who doesn't really enjoy playing these type of games as i prefer more interactive ones but the games i've been playing sure did catch my short-span attention. hahaha. 

i enjoyed my time at the farewell party. i took a train with ben and darren and we ended up lost several times. i thought i could trust those two geography students to be able to read a map located outside the train station. but we ended up going the total opposite direction. we had to ask the passer-by for directions. we arrived at the shopping centre and got ourselves lost again. luckily, we came upon yi feng, neville, alfred and zheng yuan or we would still remained lost. they took us to the hotel lobby where we waited for our host, techapon. during our wait, my hands got itchy as i wanted to play some card games. i borrowed darren's deck of cards. i won the first game but during the second game, our cards got confiscated by the hotel staff. they restricted us from playing. i really wonder whether its all about bad karma. my decks of cards got frequently confiscated by my teachers. with no cards, we talked. techapon soon came wit his hair dyed. we went in before he gave us his UNPREPARED speech. 

i sat with andy, jonathan, ivan, chang kang, wei jie and yong cheng. i went out to get some food. when i came back, i was well entertained by andy and yong cheng making fun of jonathan. some of us didn't get the pasta and we all blamed jonathan for that. hahaha. yong cheng left the table and i filled his salad with with pepper. when he came back and continued to eat, he found his salad with some 'extra ingredient'. but like the brave man he is, he ate it. i went to take jonathan out for a 'walk' to help me select some desert. when he came back to the table, andy and yong cheng used their reverse psychology to make jonathan believe that they placed something in his food. but, he ate it in the end. our first game was musical chairs. it sure was hilarious!

congratulations to the winners. the next game was here a group of people were to stand on a piece of newspaper that would be folded every turn. if their feet was out of the newspaper, they would be out. 

i took part in it with wei jie but we were out pretty quickly. we took a class photo after the games. 

the night carried on with a dance conducted by the lovely couples of our school. we were also entertained by two solo beat boxing by vimalan and dalston.

everyone was given a rose and they were to give it to who they think should be our prom king and queen. i gave mine to lay ting. techapon was the prom king while anna was the prom queen. we did some lucky draw things before going out to take some pictures.

i really want to thank techapon for organizing this event. take care techapon and wish you a great future filled with success. i'll miss you. me, ben and darren took a cab home. 

thank you darren for taking these pictures.

tonight i'll be going for a farewell party. meeting a number of friends and spending the night with them.

the lyn fury is pretty good. it has a smooth string play. both the weight and size are acceptable. its neither too heavy/light nor is it too small. by removing the side caps, grinding it is possible, but it would be difficult. its a good yo-yo to use for its price.

i've just reach home from shopping. i bought a new yo-yo called lyn fury. its black and blue. i have yet to try it out and i hope to be looking forward to a good respond from this new yo-yo.

i hate it so much. making an msn account is really difficult when you cant open the files. and I'm still not done with it yet. but i got to thank my friends [natasha and yong cheng]  for making it a lot easier. only way to cure this is by laughing it off. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA[sarcastic tone]

Obama wins!!! a change for america has been made. i wish i could have watched it all happen but i was having my exams. so here is my tribute to the new president.

you've been through hard times

you've beaten the odds

you faced criticisms 

about you being a fraud

you stayed true to the people 

true to the nation 

through yourself 

you'll show me your dedication

you'll bring back pride 

make an increase in participation

here is where you'll receive 

your true appreciation 

thanks to lynn for giving me the results right after my paper.

how long has it been? 

its been four years

we stand together 

we got nothing to fear

we parting away?

please don't give a tear 

for we'll party tonight 

drown ourselves with beer

we been through the hard life 

it's something we do 

there's no 'i' in 'we' 

it's a 'e' and 'w'

we share our thoughts 

we now like a crew 

let's stay together 

let's not stay a few

time has come 

for us to part our ways

we'll remain a memory 

about the good old days 

if it's not about the future

it's about today 

i'll be begging you 

"please just stay"

if i could 

i would have my way 

repeat this year

i got so much to say

repeat this year

take our 'o's again

you be screaming

"are you okay?"

three more papers to go. WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! what a relief. four years of blood and sweat all comes down to three mere weeks. it is kind of ironic as i only really studied the day before the paper and i think i won't do as badly as i expected. i hope January/February won't prove me wrong. 

i have just posted some videos on youtube. guess what? it's about me playing yo-yos. not much of a surprise though. i would really like to join some competitions next year, but i have missed a year of practice. got to use this year end REALLY wisely. 

i might be looking for a job to save up some extra cash for... more yo-yos. and most probably other stuff as well. STITCH! that definitely would be one of them. its been awhile since i last watched a movie so i'll definitely spend some time on that. if i can watch two movies in a week, by the end of the year... i have watched sixteen movies!  

the holiday would be the right time to get my life back, but i don't think i deserve it. i didn't put as much effort as the REST of the students in this little island...

WHOA! time to rein in! I'm babbling! i ain't done that in... years.
