Compression Top

Skins BioAcceleration Technology has been developed over years of scientific research. Ongoing testing of elite athletes have proven that Skins BioAcceleration Technology creates marked improvements in reducing the build-up of lactic acid immediately after periods of sustained exercise (2hrs and 15 mins up to 37% ), and allows for more rapid return to normal levels (up to 38% at 20 minutes). You experience less fatigue, minimise soreness and recover faster.

Skins are body moulded compression garments manufactured from the finest Lycra and Meryl Microfibre, scientifically engineered to provide support and muscle alignment to the garment covered area of your body. Skins will definitely change the way that you train and play as well as speed your recovery. You will feel fresher after heavy bouts of exercise and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will be minimised.

mission

Operation Unite!
its time to activate the boys.

dreams and desires.

winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream

end of the year is coming!

i somehow don quite like the design of the new school. but i guess i will jus have to survive in there. it will take time for me to settle in.

played soccer with kumar n all. had a gd time eventhough i didnt know most of them. the opposition. no comments on them.

ah.. got lots to say but no mood. another time then.

Tasmania- Heaven!

Cradle Moutains. I love the scenery there.

Devil's Kitchen at Port Arthur.

Waterfall.

My family actually walk around the whole lake. I think it is called Cradle Lake.

MY FAMILY! Without them i am nothing.

Discover Tasmania!

Holiday to Tasmania was GREAT! The best part of the tour was not only going arnd visiting the places of interest but to actually spend time together as a family. My family memebers have been very busy. Parents having work and siblings school. As for myself there is nothing much to explain as u all know by now. But we gave time off from work and personal things to spend time as one Happy Family.

Tasmania.. very nice place.. its a place more for appreciating nature and God's wonder rather then shopping. haha. We had to stop over Melbourne before finally reaching Hobart around 10 plus. First day, didnt do anything much. We stayed over at a nice house. One thing hit me wen i was there. I finally faced the fact that i wont be eating any chicken or beef there cos there is no halal butcher. So it will be seafood!

The problem about the weather in Tasmania is that it is unpredictable. The temperature can be so cold but the sun rays is jus piercing through ur skin. the UV reading was around 11 and thats very bad. N the rain... it can be so sunny one minute and the next, it starts pouring. haha. The weather on whole, i got to say is good. Its neither too cold nor hot. Perfect.

I went for a Ghost Tour.. believe it or not.. haha. it was like super freaky la. it scared the shit out of me! One not nice thing to see is the dead bodies of animals by the expressway or highway. You can acutally see the body of the animal (wombats, rat and kangaroos basically) squashed. Their body parts are also everywhere. Its really horrible to see. Yucks!

One things which Singaporeans shd learn from our Aussies counterparts is to be more friendly! People there always smile and greet each other. Be it if they know them or not. Its really good to see such behaviour.

home sweet home!!

im back!! the trip was memorable. something i will never forget for the rest of my life. came back yesterday night. jet lag. arhhh..
shall blog more bout it later. im off for chicken and beef! wohoo! haha.

game

2dae decided to stay at home all day. didnt feel like doing anything actually. wanted to rest!

yesterday played with our thai frens, Vajiravudh College. all of them looked rather fast n Compact! game went well. arthur is damn angry with me bcos i coped his try. but its just the natural scrum-half instinct la. but he will never believe me! haha!

tmr will be, i think, my last game im gg 2 play for 2005! yuppers!

welcome Vajiravudh!

our Thai frens from Vajiravudh College paid us a visit this week. i had the job of welcoming them from the airport myself cos all the coaches were busy. my task was to welcome them wen the reach singapore n bring them back to st andrews sec sch where they will be sleeping there during their stay. they had 2 air-conditioned classrooms. ha. finding them in the airport wasnt that hard bcos firstly, they travelled in such a big group that no one can miss them. secondly, their size confirms everything!

once reached sas we brought them around the sch n potong pasir estate showing them where the 7-11 was n stuff. then had dinner. chatted with the coaches. one thing about thai pple are the look ten years younger! the head coach is like 36 but looks 26. their 2 other coaches look 16 while they are 26! hahaha. incredible. we kept asking them wat was the thai secret n they jokingly answered, yoghurt n rice. lol

kind of expected sajc ruggers' trg attendance 2dae will be crap. trg is at 8am 2dae. past trg was 10am n already got pple late n overslept.. wat bout 8am!

tmr playing against them n 2nite my back already hurt like mad. arh.

silence.....

normal weekend

ahh. nothing much happened during the weekends. had the past vs present rugby game on sat n tats about it.

im dying of boredom. save me some1.

here are some of the pictures i scanned jus now.

SCC Jonah Jones 7s Team 2005

playing in malaysia... against the royal selangor club

Jonah Jones 7s

last weekend went to malaysia to play for singapore cricket club (scc) in the Jonah Jones 7s. no doubt it was one of the best tours i have been. we left singapore around 5pm and the bus we took we the first class seats one. those 28 seaters but we were only travelling with 16. so u can imagine firstly how comfortable the seat is and also not packed. haha. great. further more, the seats got massage! LoL! stopped over at ayer keroh (i think) for dinner at a&w. really missed the a&w food here, n being ruggers, we ate like no one's buisness. continued our journey till we reached KL. the good thing bout the journeys during this tour is somehow it felt very short. mabye its because of the pple who u are travelling with. the first problem started wen we reached the hotel, 3 players were given a room but there are only 2 beds! so one guy had to suffer la. calling for extra bed is too expensive. so in the end, for me, i went to my coach's room n took his bed. cos he has to bed but is alone. haha.

sat is the first day of the competition. we reach royal selangoor club arnd 10am. there is a players' tent but it was already filled with players n it looked so packed like some refugee camp. ha. so after pulling a few strings here n there we got to sit at the clubhouse there. with shelter n more importantly fan. being the youngest player there, i was actually quite scared to play. i started the first game very scared but after seeing how the msians play i say it boosted my confidence. haha. i was the first to score (add points) for my club during the competition. yeah! as we went further through the day we progessed. a few scc big shots were there to see how we play. we played 3 games with 2hrs interval (if not more) after each game. we ended our last game at 5.15pm. ended off the day with positive attitude. just when i thought i can go back to the hotel 2 relax n slack before dinner. one fellow rugger had to dislocate his shoulder while swimming. its an irony wen u thought that guy had played rugby 2dae without dislocating it but had to happen while he was swimming. haha. his reactions wen he was in pain was hilarious! thus, being the only malay boy of the team i had to follow him to the hospital 2 b the translator.

wen we reach the hospital, we were shocked to see the condition there. the waiting time there would take years. so i came out with this plan 2 tell the nurses n doctors there that we had a flight to catch back to singapore and had attend to him urgently. the pace of the nurses n docs there were like super slow la. they take things like so slow pace until we came. we made them rush like mad. a change of pace once in a while is good. everything was done in 1hr 10min. n tats even faster then the govt. hospitals here. haha. the last time i went it took me 3hrs jus to see a doc. we quickly rushed back to our hotel for our japanese dinner buffet.

the next day, sun, we went back there knowing that they games we r gg 2 play would not b an easy one. in addition, wen ur in msia, the referees there would never side singaporeans. we played our quarter finals with 7 men while they played with 8 men (including referee). the scored rather early in the game but couldnt covert it. so we were trailing all along even until the horn blew. thank god, we got penalties after penalties. scc won the game wen i scored in the dying moments n daniel converting the try. semis didnt wen that well wen we lost to some selangor team. yeah. freaking dirty. once we lost the semis, we were knocked out n went straight back to hotel to enjoy the rest of the tour. the rest of the night was just great. brian, darrel, jon leow n i got hungry so the 4 of us went on a good hunt till. we went everywhere n bought all types of food. we packed them n took them back in the hotel to have a feast. toked n slept arnd 4.30am.

last day woke up early cos i couldnt really sleep. had a breakfast by myself before coach n others join us. gg back to spore was a the most irritating part of the tour. the air con bus had to spoil when we was about to go home (according to the driver. which i think is like alittle bullshit). so we detoured to batu caves. i waited for 2 hrs before the bus came back. this time he told us, the air con is working but not cooler. so we had to wait for another 30 mins before the new bus came. then we shoot back to singapore. the only stop we took was the a&w stop. haha.

tue has seniors' farewell. it went well and the food was great. i had to be the bad guy by hosting the infamous chilli challenge. the faces of the senior wen they ate the chilli was super funny la. hope they enjoyed it.

scc plate finals report.

scc webby has the plate finals story. yay!

a week of rugby

i have decided to unlock my blog once again.

last week was a week filled with nothing but rugby (rather obvious). everyday, i surely had something to do with rugby. even though i started the week already burnt out, i kept telling myself that is the last (4th consective) week of intensive (aka trg everyday except sunday) rugby plans. i was still happy that i could still perform well.

monday we had the last trg to prepapre ourselves for the m1 1os. it was very unfortunate that marc was running a high fever n could not play. the team would be much stronger. i felt sick after that n went home to sleep my day off. didnt go for club 7s trg. ops.

tuesday had our m1 10s. it was unlucky that our 1st game was against the american school. we lost 2 tries to 1 try. im sure that if we played them in our last grouping game we surely had a chance to beat them. as we play more games we finally setteled down. one positive thing about this team is that as we go on into the tournament our performance went uphill and but the time we reach our last grouping game, we really played like a 7s team. the support and defence was good. we were plate champions. taking into account we were playing with quite a few new players and some unfit ones it was a acceptable performance. after the tourney, had dinner with touch ruggers. go read kelly's blog about that kfc waiter. irritating.

I also wanna thank all those pple who came down to support us! =)

watched the u17s play their m1 10s on wednesday. also had lunch with the dear panel of sas coaches. mr alan wee is really pro la. he knows where to find GOOD food. we went to eat this power nasi briyani. woah. shiok la. their semis was against acs(i). full time was still scoreless n they went into extra time. after extra time still nil- nil. then guess wat? they decided the winner of the game by a COIN TOSS. i find it really stupid but thats the fastest solution to finding a winner rather then doing the correct method of teams with the most number of drop kick wins. mabye the field was shittie? who knows. Saints always have this tendancy that wen we get to choose the side of the coin we always pick the head. according to romano, he says that we believe that one needs a head to store the brains. n thats wat we did for the coin toss. n thank god, it was HEADs. they lost the final to uwc. but i must say it was a good performance but the boys considering the were only sec 3s. phil, weiyann, qian hui, kelly n joy watch the finals. after that had dinner with them at delifrance.

thursday, a few house commers came to plan the farewell. while waiting for others. phil n i were entertaining ourselves watching LOST. wen the others came, they joined us. till we ended up watching LOST most of the time. i cant wait for the next part to come out.

friday to monday was SCC Colts (U21) tour to KL for the Jonah Jones 7s Competition. I will write about it in my next blog cos i jus came back n too tired to continue. All i can say is that, The tour was AWSOME!~

ups and downs

this week has been a very long n tiring week for me. it had major UPS and DOWNS. now lets see.

UPS:
scc tankards won the plate finals against bedok kings. it was a good game. though at one part during the game tankards lost their discipline. my passes were 100% accurate with no drop balls. thats something encouraging after practising my passes on fri during sch trg like mad. i oso gave away very little penalties. most players said i controlled my forwards well. i dont know bout that but i did the best i could. and once more again. i was chosen man of the match by the club. haha. this is super fun man. i got the award for both semis and finals. awsome. its good to rejoice and celebrate the way and my achievements but i MUST not let this get to my head. cos if im gg 2 do that, i will surely not improve as a player. i must uphold the principal always believed in is in which that a player shouldnt think and keep talking of what he has achieved (credentials) but work for more achievements. once u get it u enjoy it for a while then get back to work. dont think bout it again.

anyway, here are a few extract from the union's webby:
Article 1:
In the other two Singapore Plate finals, SCC Tankards pulled off a major upset as they beat Brewerkz Bucks 10-6 with a try by young scrumhalf Khiarul Hilmi and conversions by Nick Groen. Bedok Kings and San Miguel Wanderers kept it at 15-14 to Bedok's favour in the last 5 minutes until a breakaway try by centre Dallas Pitchers and subsequently a penalty try awarded after forward Micheal Nielsen was obstructed from a try scoring position.

Article 2:
The Singapore Plate between SCC and Bedok Kings will be a showcase of young and old. SCC features a lineup with skipper Mark Luceri and ex Singapore Red Anil Kumar playing alongside the youthfulness of Khairul Hilmi, Bryan Ng and Nick Groen. Bedok Kings likewise has a lineup in similar fashion with skipper Mark Rhodes and ex Hong Kong international Keith Gauntlett mixing it up with youngsters Sugiyanto Suryono and Gaspar Tan. The Plate final will kick off at 3pm and the Cup final will commence at 5pm.

Click on the article to see a full report.

next, i wanna THANK Anil for his treat after trg on tues. the food was great.

Congrats to sajc touch ruggers for winning the bowl finals. i must say u girls have improved by alot since i first u all playing. great job! too bad i couldnt catch the finals.

Finally, not forgetting, phil, weiyann, hashim n zoe (i hope i got ur name correctly) for coming down to watch the finals! =))

DOWNS:
this is my 3rd week training non-stop. basically i started this week burnt out already and still went into over-drive. so not surprising, all the injuries are coming back and getting new ones. i swear i need a break but nobody wants to give me one or either all the trgs are very important. the worst was on fri. had to do sprints and runs even though i had finals the nxt day. its like even if i tell my coaches they wouldnt really be bothered but jus tell u to train la. seriously, if im gg 2 keep this type of lifestyle i will die soon. n im not joking lor. i plan once my commitment is lighter, i wan 2 go dissapear somewhere for bout a week before coming back to full swing. n oso not forgetting i need 2 study leh. further more, i have never had to much injuries in my playing career until now. gee. n im supposed to be peaking?! haiz. once again, i want n need a break.

READ THIS ARTICLE ON BURN OUT!

Typically it will occur in hard working, hard training, hard driven people, who become emotionally, psychologically or physically exhausted. This can occur where:

-you find it difficult to say 'no' to additional commitments or responsibilities (YES)
-someone has been under intense and sustained pressure for some time (YES)
-a perfectionist coach does not delegate (NO, more like not understanding at times)
-someone is trying to achieve too much (YES)
-someone has been giving too much emotional support for too long (YES)
-Often it will express itself in a reduction in motivation (YES), volume and quality of performance (Not Yet), or in dissatisfaction with or departure from the sport altogether (Not Yet).

Burn-out will normally occur slowly, over a long period of time. It may express itself physically or mentally. Symptoms of burn-out are shown below:

Physical Burn-out
-Feelings of intense fatigue (yes yes yes)
-Vulnerability to viral infection (dont know, but have been feeling sick)
-Immune breakdown (no)
Mental Burn-out
-Feeling of lack of control over commitments (totally)
-An incorrect belief that you are accomplishing less (not quite, but yes)
-A growing tendency to think negatively (very very true)
-Loss of a sense of purpose and energy (YES! and i need to find it back quick)
-Increasing detachment from relationships that causes conflict and stress, adding to burn-out. (110% YES! and its very sad actually)

There are more downs but shall jus stop here for today.

screwed

things are just so screwed.

do i really know what i am?

good shit

today was no better then a good day for me. SCC Tankards were playing Bucks in the Division 1 Plate Playoffs Semi- Finals. Two weeks ago, we got smashed by bucks quite badly and people all thought the winner of the playoffs were obvious even before the game started. Bucks are also the league champions after being undefeated since the begining of the season. so they thought they might have an easy passage to the playoffs since they were playing the tankards who got 4th for the league. you could aslo see how confident bucks were looking at their faces.

however, today the scores were not like wat everyone had predicted. it was totally opposite. the tankards played their best today. nick was the first add points for tankards by successfully kicking in a penalty kick. one minute before half time, bucks equalised and it was 3-3 at half time. 2nd half looked better for scc tankards. with a more focused and determined pack we dominated the game. i scored the one and only try through a quick tap off the free kick. like wat others would say, its a typical khairul move. n sorry eh jonthan leow, heard u screaming ur heads off for the ball but i didnt pass. after that try tankards were defending the ball like mad. we had bucks hitting the ball at speed n passing throught the gain line. the fired up tankards were not going to give such a wonderful game away. a few penalty kicks and the score full time was 10 - 6 to tankards.

unfortunately, i got punched two times during the game. n twice was straight at my nose. its freaking scary because the impact is so painful that i thought i broke my nose n now being paranoid that my nose is not straight. haha. anyway, its still hurting now. its also not easy playing with a swollen left ankle. it didnt help much either but the physio did a great job in tapping it. after the game, had dinner at club. it was super funny la. during the man of the match award, usually the player would have to drink down a cup of beer. i got the award but too bad i dont drink. in the end, i got a cup of Coke. can get high of coke lor. chatted with a few players before rushing home to watch the rugby test games.

aus and eng didnt play that impressive. a deserved win for eng. cant believe gregan got yellow card la. like hello!! ur the capt!! ur supposed to be an example to the team. dissapointing la. tsk!
nz and ireland are playing now... obviously it's a one sided affair. all the way Kiwis!
next week will be surely a K.O. week for me. its rugby rugby and more rugby. yeah!

just for the record, i've got man of the match award for divsion 1 (tankards) and division 2 (3rds) and scored in both the semi-finals of div1 and div2. must keep telling myself not to get on top of the world or i'll b dead for sure. great job i've done but its time to carry on. i shall leave this behind me and start afresh. =)

ok. long entry. back to ICE time!

damaged

im losing more interest in the things i have always enjoyed.
i've lost most of my confidence and all hope. the more i find the more i lose of whats remaining. but i really need to get it back.
are friends really what i think they are? good and always there for me? i dont think so.
sometimes i think friends are a one way thing. they will listen to you but they wont let u listen to them or just that u dont have time for them. been in both situation n felt only one thing. useless that i cant do anything to help them.
But wait! can i even help myself? oh well. at least i want to help others.
this phase of life im gg through is the worst. i dont know lies ahead of me.
i want to get control of this but i cant.
i want to do so many things for me and everyone but i cant. i will be too bz wif shit or the person jus cant.

no one will understand n ever would. so its just me, myself n I gg through this.

for the smart ones, who entered my blog by disabling the java script, u are such an idiot n the greatest KPO person anyone can ever see. the fact that i lock it is for idiots like u not to read. so just do me a favour can? piss off. thanks.

blog locked.

everyone must b thinking why the hack i locked my blog. well the main reason is that i dont quite like people who i dont know reading my blog. i didnt mind until some stuffs happened recently. this is my blog so i shall blog wat i write. if u r not happy then the best advice i can give u is dont read. if u want. read n keep ur thoughts to urself. the fact that you are reading this means u already know my password. please keep the password to yourself n dont tell other people. i trust u pple as my frens.


2dae i just bought a compression top. its nice. firstly, even though i sweat alot, it doesnt make my tshirt too soaked with sweat. the best part is that i somehow cools ur body down.

HARI RAYA!

Hari Raya so far has been a Blast !! i truly enjoyed myself the past 3 days. gg over to pple's hse and them over to mine. one gd thing that was very encouraging was my relatives saying i lost quite a lost of weight since the last hari raya. thats good to hear. also must try not to eat alot this hari raya cos need to maintain.

1st day, Thurs:
was all the formal stuff. went to mosque early in the morning. kind of cool actually cos that was the last time hari raya prayers was gg 2 be held at the mosque as it was gg to be renovated soon. n it will take arnd 4-5 yrs. after tat, finally had my long awaited breakfast at Macdonalds. u can imagine how it felt after not having breakfast for like 30 days. since my grandparents (mum's side) were staying with us, all my aunties and uncles came to meet at our place. asked for forgiveness and talk cock. after tat went to visit my grandma (dad's side) and visiting. it was so much fun getting to met my cousins again.

2nd day, Fri:
nothing much happen 2dae. went for friday prayers in the afternoon. somebody had passed away either the day before or on that day and there were extra prayers for the deceased. i decided to join in. n for the rest of the day, i was thinking how lucky i was still to b alive celebrating hari raya while the family members and frens of the deceased had to like mourn during such a wonderful celebration. gee. it would b very sad. had cny sub-comm meeting after that. rather productive as we got alot of work done. at nite, continue visiting my dad's side aunties and uncles. cool.

3rd day, Sat:
my beloved house comm-ers came over to my place for hari raya. it was soo fun. i guess most of them were surprised when i came with aini. anyway, i hoped everyone had a great time though i agree with what hash says that the first part was rather boring. haha. sorry eh! shd hav the most of them trying to eat chilli la. super hilarious. watched 2 movies and a soccer game and not forgetting the ps2! i think the best part of the day was the last part wen everyone gathered around the table n gossip. wahaha. there we at my place from 12pm till 11pm. cool stuff! our nxt planned outing is the chilli challenge. looking at the current situation, it wont b surprising that hose might just win! =P i hope my parents were nice to you.

touched

from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU very much that cute little soft toy the two of you gave to me. PIUS and HUILIN you two ROCK my world! im very touched by wat u guys have done for me. =)

the cute little soft toy, Blaz Torto.

Blaz is the name given to this 3 yrs old bear by Captain Miller of the Swot team who saved it from a blazing fire 2 years ago. Since then the two had become great friends. However, Captain Miller was killed during one of his missions, leaving Blaz behind with nothing but a gas mask found in the heap of debris. Hence, Blaz put on the gas mask and began his adventure in Action City!

friends!

=)

A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself

interest

im starting to lose interest in the thing i most loved and enjoy. i need 2 get it back. fast.
im starting to question myself. am i doin wat is right? wat is need of me? wat is being professional? is there really such things as frens? can someone please tell me. i dont know.

was blog surfing jus now and i found this from nick's blog which i find very meaningful. i think its frm the movie Coach Carter.
"our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darknes, that most frightens us. your playing small does not serve the world. there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. we were all meant to shine as children do. its not just in some of us its in everyone. and as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same, as we are liberated from our own fear. our presence automatically liberates others. "

zong's place

was at zong's place yesterday night. wanted to overnight but didnt had the mood. but i had quite a fun time talking to u house comm-ers. today will b gg there for dinner! House Comm day out! looking forward. zong will be going for his knee operation soon. hope everthing will turn out fine and recover quick k? =P Zong's dad is super funny la. the 1st thing he came n saw me was like.. can u make it anot?? haha.

i think i have wonderful parents. they actually bothered to take me home from zong's place even though it was already 1 plus in the morning. i thought of jus taking a cab home but they were like.. nvm let dad fetch u home. i touched that my parents actually sacrifice soo much for me. now i feel guilty for not being able to spend alot of time with them because of school. oh well. at least they are understanding. i love my parents!

Hari Raya is fast approaching.. cant wait for the fasting month to be over and i can officialy drink water with u all during trgs. haha. can also finally call pple up for breakfast and lunch. get to wear new hari raya clothes. and the best part of all is the food! i get to eat my rendang, ketupat, lontong, sambal goreng, chicken and etc... cant wait!!!!!!!!

super cool! my mum came out in 2dae's malay newspaper (berita harian) haha. nice nice.

yest i got attacked by my cute little cousin who was following his mum to send over some stuff. yeah. he kept trying to get me out of my seat so that he can use my laptop. haha. so we decided to go in turns. so he was like chatting for 5 min and wen i came to my turn i only got a minute. so not fair. at least i enjoyed myself pinching his chubby cheeks. haha. evil but nice. =P

my cousin. trying his best to pose for a shot.

my "sister" wants me to blog about her so here i am blogging. haha. my sister is actually a very nice person although the 1st time when i saw her she looks super intimidating. lol. a very straight to the point person, which is good because i dont like pple who always try to beat about the bush before gg to the main point. being able to understand a person is her forte. i guess she's a natural eh? and that "sister" is audrey. haha.

for the not good part of my blog,

i am very dissapointed with quite a few people around me. yeah. i mean wen u do something wrong (or anything to hurt one's feelings) its only right if u be apologetic? its disheartening to see they dont even say sorry. i mean a word like sorry isnt tat hard to say rite? oh well.

hm.. shall stone n rot at home 2dae. yupp!

colin, keane, khairul and anand

nice..

SNAKE!!!!

playing a game at tanglin field is super scary la even though there is sunlight. its like playing smack in the middle of the forest. n u nv the things that are watching you. even before the game started, we already had "spectators" watching us. one in particular is mr SNAKE!!!! while brian was peeing in the drain, he heard this piss-ing sound coming across the bushes and to his great shock it was a snake opposite him. thank god there was a drain to divide the both of them. and so brian was shouted to us that there was a snake there. the whole team actually went to where he was and looked at it. we actually stared for about 2 minutes to see the snake moving (cos we can only see part of it). this only means that the snake is super freaking long!! anyway, brian is so lucky la.. even animals is in his fan club.

just wen u think u only had mr SNAKE watching u.. a swarm of hornets paid us a visit. it was most unfortunate that it stung 2 ladies. gee. this is like a super scary shit la. goodness.

had a very tiring day 2dae n i think it shd get my well deserved rest now. =)

giving away of chocs

i decided to share my favourite Wonka bars with my frens. yes. geraldine and boon yan- i hope i have settled my debt with you two. And as for u, i hope it will cheer you up and make u feel better. jus remember that promise eh? LoL! don't think too much okay?
for wenmin, i finally gave u wat i owed you. i know its very late but at least i gave u rite?
today also settled part of my debt to the class fund.

2dae's game was ok lar. didnt like my performance at all but shall not let it affect my game tmr.

now, im jus shocked! shocked at the facts that i have just received. i once told someone of wat i foresee that was gg 2 happen and that person told me i was jus thinking too much and that such things will nv happen. but unfortunately, its happening now. something must be done but im in no position.

this is interesting. apparently, alot of people visit my blog. to u pple out there, HELLO! =)
enjoy!

wonka bars

I LOVE THE RAIN!
I LOVE WONKA Whipple Scrumptious Caramel Delight!
I finally get to eat my Wonka Bars after nice huilin and qian li bought for me frm Candy Empire. Thanks!
I must go to Candy Empire after the fasting month.

Lets see how interesting this week has been for me so far...

Mon- Had OP dry run 1. Everybody was super rushing la. unfortunately, my grp rushed most things in the morning. Doing the last part of the project, i didnt had enough time to prepare my slides and wat 2 say. so in the end, did an impromptu. thank god it went well. after tat had trg. i dont know whether it's me or mabye the sun set too early that i noticed trgs have been ending very late recently. during trg had track work. did sprints which i almost died because i was fasting. then still had to do switches.

Tue- Broke fast with a few house com-ers. we ate at anatolia. must say had lots of fun. haha i dont know why but everytime when i eat there with my frens we always ended up talking bout ghost. wah lau. scary la. the last time went there with hose hse comm also talk bout ghost. haha. watched the staff testimonial game for mr ong. nice.

Wed- Team SAJC has a tea session to celebrate their achievements. ruggers performed a special item for our beloved mr ong who will be leaving us this year. though he can be very strict he always get the work done and i think that he will b someone greatly missed by the sch esp the rugby team. then had rugby trg. supposed to be a 45 min trg session but eneded up trg frm 5.00pm to 7.30pm. yeah. OH YES! finally met up with my dearest OG35 mates. it was really fun talking so much cock again. miss u peeps. we MUST meet again one day.

TODAY- Came school for NOTHING. the only reason why i came 2dae was bcos firstly i promised my CT that i will come sch 2dae and secondly i got things to settle. then went for club trg. I MUST SAY that trg at nite where u can drink water is like WOAH. thirsty can jus go water container n drink. haha. soon soon fasting month will b over. then dad n me went to Macs n eat. super fun.

so far on the whole, this week has been the most unproductive week other than rugby trgs. stoning has almost become part of my life now.

ok too tired to continue.

out- centre debut

2dae was the first time ever in my entire life i played out- centre during an official rugby game. haha. my debut for out- centre. it so intresting!! so far in my rugby life, i hav only been trained in one position that is scrum- half and not any position. thus, wen they asked me to play out-centre 2dae i was actually shocked la. before that, my coach called me to stand- by 2 play as a winger.. another shock. was mentally prepapring myself just in case.. n suddenly before the game.. kena play out- centre. it was super fun experience though.

i played against basically all my ex-sas coaches.. haha. so intresting. even they were surprised wen i played out- centre. i kept telling manny to cover defence me jus incase i missed my tackle. it was again to my great shock that the out- centre is 2 to 3 times bigger than me. not only i was not mentally prepared, but oso kena some huge muscular guy. god bless me. the game was rather hostile one. both teams wanted to just whack the shit out of each other. quite a few times during the games kicks and punches were exchanged. unfortunatey, there SCC lost to SRC.

the most important lesson i learnt 2dae was... mistakes do happen in a game, but it is wat u do to that mistakes matter. take for example, during a rugby game, wen u r supposed to catch a ball but didnt n it knocked backwards, play still continues. are you gg 2 jus stand there n stare at the ball and let others take it or or run back to take the ball n cover the mess that u hav made. tat was preciously wat happened to me. good thing was i covered up my mess. lucky. wen i reflect on this, i think it can oso b applied to our daily life. yeah.. its not wrong making a mistake, but its wrong wen u dont learn n do anything about ur mistake so as you wont repeat it again.


after the game, while being a reserve for the priemer game, a group of us were talking about army life! haha. of all topics. mabye it was bcos safsa was playing scc in the 2nd game. learnt alot of things. n after As i will be there. the two jonathans was damn joke for sure.

ok la.. im too tired now. shall continue nxt time.

im finally feeling so happy. yeah!

i love colours

i finally got something which i have been waiting for a long time ago. i got my national colours award yesterday. =) the ceremony was at vjc.. tat sch is such a nice place to be in. way cool. met a few of the ex-nat u16 team too. ilman n i had a common agreement that the "standard" this year is damn low.

unfortunately, since i was fasting yesterday, i couldn't help myself to the scrumptious, heavenly, mouthwatering and tempting reception. all i could do was watch others eat. feeling envious, i decided to go back to school to check on the rugby training and how the ruggers are doing. mr dan ho was so nice to give me a ride back to school. thanks sir! we were talking how how pathetic singaporeans driver are nowdays. they are firstly not courteous. super selfish and has tat mentally that by giving way, they will lose something important. dissapointing to see adults behaving in such a childish manner. secondly, the are unsafe drivers, the do not singnal before changing lanes and just cut into some1's lane. how sad to see we singaporeans behaving this way. they always scold the young ones for being rude and stuff i guess its about time they reflect on themselves too.

everyone was surprised (esp. mr ho) to see me back in school la. i jus dropped by making sure things are okay. then waitied for them to end training before gg out for dinner. i somehow felt very odd wearing white long sleeves and blazer while my frens were in tshirt and shorts. after tat, met up with the melay-unit at toa payoh arnd 10 to jus relax and talk cock. haha. i unquestionably felt relaxed and happy after gg through such weeks of only negative and depressing things.

today got club game. i dont know who scc is playing against with. all i know is tat i mus b at yck by 2pm.
rugby game + fasting = good luck

i will do watever i can to help you. =)

its me

i m feel damn shitty now. NOTHING is good. i didnt mean to hurt anyone's feelings though mine is already gone. dont stress me any further for i might just burst. things are not getting any better but worse. and nothing around me is helping me either.

i just want to tell you that watever happens during this week and the days to come, i never had any intentions to hurt anybody's feelings or wat so ever. please forgive me if u felt i do so. sorry.

hang in there

i need to hang in there. i cant give up. i must be brave. this is really not easy. im a human being too. please understand me.

nobody will understand.
sometimes im doing something which i dont wanna do. but. it has became my obligation. =(

week

i didnt really have the time to blog tis week bcos i was too bz with rugby and house comm. summore i got a very important personal matter than i needed to attend. i really want to blog about it but some things are better left not written.
anyways, tis week went rather okay.

house day was on thurs. my wish came true wen i hoped it would rain in the morning. though it was not too much a good thing, it made the house comm-ers' lifes easier to do crowd control. j1s were brought to the audi where they watched "Coach Carter". although i have been watching it for the 4th time, i still find the movie like very inspiring! had a meeting after tat. =)
in the afternoon, house comm had a friendly game with the student council. the house comm-ers started great dominating the game but towards the last part, where our poor fitness could been seen and not enough subs, we lost our game to the SC. i must still stay that the house comm-ers played their hearts out and there shd b not regrets.

fri was doomsday. we got back our results. =S

today!! was sajc's open house. on the whole, i think it was good and i had fun. Great job SC!
being a tour guide is cool. i not only had a great time but also met new people. haha! some were rather intimidating too! =p
i think i m too tired to continue. shall blog bout it next time!
Btw, OSB was a success! Well done people.

Your intentions are very important. Brainwashing tatics does not totally work on me!

First impressions matters.

take care dipak

national trg was super tiring. pathetic attendance. but it at least killed me.

its not nice breaking fast all by urself. oh well. cant be helped rite?

My Dear Friend Dipak,
We House Comm-ers hope you will have a speedy recovery and God Bless! Take Care dude! I have forgiven you for that incident you did to me during cca leaders' retreat! happy now? =P

its just so freaking stressful. i need a break.

back to training

WOHOOO!
Today we finally started our rugby training again. After a long break for Promos, I finally get to touch, kick and pass the rugby ball.. its like.. YEAH MAN! I seriously missed the sport so much that no words could describe it.. =p Its about time to do something which i really love and excel in.

The only "not nice" part about starting trg is firstly, you dont only train on ball work but also fitness. I guess not alot of players will b looking forward to that but its one of the most important factor for any team to suceed.

Now.. its still good to know that after 2dae's trg i m still surviving.. cos training (including fitness) and fasting dont compliment each other. the worst part is trg will get more n more intensive. at least i got martin to tahan with me. we can do it! yes! LoL! we can lose more weigth and go K.O. together! =) somehow, wen i fast i noticed that there are more frequent water breaks but the time for water breaks are not long enough. mabye its just me. haha. but i guess to survive todays trg, taking to account i didnt had any food nor drink since 5.30am, is a great achievement. as of now, every trg is not only a physical endurance but also mental. May the force be with us! (ok lame.)

Another thing that made my day good was that i got national colours! its on 21st Oct.. that's something i hav always been waiting for a long long time. something in which i had always aimed for. something to be proud of but i shall tell myself not to get this into my head cos it'll do more harm than good. now, higher expectations for myself with a much more challenging goal to achieve!

tmr got national trg.. about time i go.. haha!

reading this NLP & Sports book by Joseph O'Connor and liked what he said:
"Physical skill is impoertnat in sport, but bodies do not compete, people compete- with their body, mind and emotions."


Did i did the right thing by telling u what i know? I really dont know.

moods

Firstly, my apologies to the [Melay-Unit] for not being able to join you guys yesterday. I just suddenly didn't feel like doing anything. Next time alrites?

Yesterday was the first Saturday, after a very very long time, that i actually had nothing to do as in NO plans or activities! I had the WHOLE day for myself. I decided that I should finally spend some time for myself which i havent done for (again) a very very long time. So i started off waking up late. Then woke up, watch tv and sleep again! haha. it felt good! i know i can never chance upon this type of saturday again!

To my ruggers: There's training tmr, 5pm. Bring your boots and tracks.
You are about to find out what rugby training is all about! wahahaha.
Once again to the newbies, Welcome to Rugby!!!

It's going to be interesting fasting at the same time training.

It feels very odd to suddenly stop doing what you have always been doing.

screwed

everything is so screwed. nothing looks good at all.
during the promos, there have been pple very supportive.. jus want to thank them.
mummy n daddy- thanks for being there for me! i really needed it!
mr ong- for making sure i was ok.
mr tong- for that great advice which really made me felt better.
aini- for your constant motivation!

as of now, plans are in the making.

this year, fasting didnt feel as long as last time. mabye it bcos im used to it n the time for break fast is earlier. oso mabye bcos i didnt take too much notice of the time.

lost my mood.

fasting month is coming VERY soon!

Promos (refering to the A level subjects n not AO) is starting this wednesday. Kick off the promos with physics paper.. followed by chem and last but not least maths. everything i learnt hopefully will stay with me. i pray, pray n pray promos wont b a major screw up.

Not forgetting that on wednesday we dont only kick off promos but also start fasting! No eating n drinking during daylight. Yeah man. 30 days only. cummon! can do it one! You did it once during your Os, so u can surely do it again!

Let's see whats different this time.. Hm.. last yr start fasting a few weeks or days (cant remember) before Os. At least go the time to get used to fasting but now no. Promos papers are all in the morning. So this means if i eat sahur, hopefully i will still b full (or at least not too hungry and/or thirsty) by then, unlike last yr when there were a few afternoon papers.

oklar. getting back to work. its freaking 1.20am.. i need and want to badly sleep but cant.
Mug Khairul! Mug! Mug! Mug!

HELLO TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO VISIT MY BLOG! Be it teachers, Brother, Friends or Friends' Friend. aiya. whoever la!

physical state + promos = not good

i must be in the worst kind of condition to go exams in. not bcos i m not fully prepared but more body is playing me out. my back has been hurting like mad. it feels as though as is some thing piercing through it. the pain is excruciating!! ahhh. trust me sleeping doesnt help either. my left ankle is still painful from a game i played during pe. My finger has been swollen for the 3rd week running. I think its about time to go see a doctor. But its either i m too tired (lazy) or mugging. old injuries are coming back. no good. need 2 recover it as soon as possible. wen promos is over... its all rugby.

mentally and physically drained.

promos hav officially started. n the last thing on earth you want is to become sick. Arhhh. It totally sucks all the energy away from you. Unfortunately, that is what happened to me. Everything started before GP paper. i felt faint. but tahan la. after paper wen i went home start to throw up like nobody buisness. ohwell. nevertheless, i still took my malay paper 2dae. was tooo sick to do any mugging. shall rest now.
they finally send us the posters of teach less learn more! yeah!

PROMOS!

in this super stressful state i m in bcos promos are starting from nxt week, some stupid things must crop up. its not because i did something wrong or wat but wat pple who are "under" me did. oh well. so much burden to carry. but i shall have a postive mentality! hopefully this burden will become a blessing at the end of the day. okay. that sounds paradoxical.

something hilarious happened on thurs. after school, i met my parents to buy a long sleeve shirt for my colours award tmr. so i was in full school attire. then we went to visit two shops and at that two shops pple thought i was the salesperson! goodness! does our sch uniform really look like a salesman? i dont think so. i think that sajc has the best uniform of all the jcs!

at the 1st shop the lady asked me whether i knew how many inches a size M shoulder is. then i was like erm.. i m not sure. n i said i wasnt the sales person. the lady then says OPS, Sorry. n embarassingly walked away. LOL!

then the second place was better. another lady (note: its always the ladies!:p) asked me whether there is still this 90 cents pastry left. then wen i said i dont know and asked her to go ask another person.. she gave me the "what the hell is this guy who works here but dunno what is happening" and "is this wat u call customer service" and "i want to see ur manager" look. i gave her back the "can dont ask me cos i couldnt care less" look. i think she got furious until she saw my badge which states house captain and not ABC from XYZ! she got jacked straight in the face la! gee. after that i think she got damn paised n walked away.wen i told my parents about my interesting experience they jus laughed at me. HA!

colours award was good. nice to see n catch up wif the ex u-16 ruggers from rjc. don is still as you know wat as ever la. sorry eh suhaimi! :p
we must play again together someday!

To everyone mugging hard for Promos.. Good Luck and God Bless!

winning and losing

it seriously sucks losing the club finals not bcos ur opposition was a better team but thanks to some people. i better not say about who if not later i get sued. watever la. but ohwell, the game is over and we LOST. b a sportsman n jus take the defeat. neverthless, we are still the League Champions! So i brought 2 medals home yesterday.

dinner was great at SCC. everyone was jus in the mood to enjoy! tats good.

Go and read this article:

look!

today when i wen i was taking a bus to go home from school, there was this not only visually but also physically handicapped man. it was such a pity to see him in such a condition. what really touched my heart was that when he was alighting the bus, jus before stepping out of the bus, he thanked the driver and greeted all the passangers wishing them to have a good day! now see! i have never in my life seen any1 including we, abled- bodies ones, actually thanked the bus driver and wished every1 else in the bus before alighting.

yes i know we pay bus fare and bus drivers are paid to do drive buses but dont u think it really brighten's up some1's day by just saying that few words?! well. at least for me it did. n further more to see a disabled person who is being challenged in so many aspects of life greeting us i feel bad. we who are "normal" and are more blessed cant do a simple thing like this.

mabye its jus our attitude that i admit even i myself cant change for now. it always take another person to do these little yet impactful actions to give us that wake up call. whoever he is, i really wished him all the best and he is a person whom i truly respect.


this is part of lyrics of The World's Greatest by R kelly: (i find this part very nice! haha!)

I am a mountain, I am a tall tree, oh
I am a swift wind sweepin' the country
I am a river down in the valley, oh
I am a vision and I can see clearly

If anybody asks you who I am
Just stand up tall
Look 'em in the face and say

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey, I made it
I'm the world's greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my back's against the ropes
I can feel it I'm the world's greatest

interesting weekend.

this weekend has surely been an interesting one for me. have been observing quite a bit of things happening arnd me.

saturday.. mugged as much i could in the morning bcos later in the afternoon had game. it was the semis of th bowl. scc was playing blacks. the game was at the former school for the hearing impared or smth like dat la. i didnt know where it was so i had to take the club bus there. i took a train to the club. n it was crowded. what was disturbing was that there was this old man standing quite close beside me was picking his nose. it damn gross la. so close to me summore. n he was throwing watever that came out of his nose on his finger to the floor. firstly, its damn disgusting. secondly, its unhygienic. thirdly, doesnt he know that there r pple watching him?! YUCKS!

while walking to the club across the padang, i heard someone shouting for my mine. the voice sounds like i got hear before.. so i turned n try to locate where it was coming from. how i locate where it was coming from cos while looking arnd, i saw this taxi which was stationary cos of traffic light shacking. i was like hmmm... jus then i saw the person who did the make up for me during the photo shoot! My Moe! how nice to see u again. though it was short. we still exchanged greeting. he then reminded me to emai him the pics! sorry eh! i forgot! the funny part was that there was a black family SUV in between me n my moe who was in the taxi. the family was looking at the two of us thinking wat was happening. i guess they though i was like screaming at them or smth. LoL!

scc won blacks 14-6. scc was not focused on the game. the happy thing is i scored! the game ended early cos blacks didnt have enuf u-23 (i think so) players to field in. so they had to walk over. i felt a little guilty at tat time for leaving the club. but we got to move on right? next week is the finals. after game had a nice chat with a few of the scc players. the old ones. super funny pple and nice getting to know new pple.

after tat, went to Kumz place for dinner. the [Melay-Unit] first AGM. LoL! I have to say that is one of the best indian food i ever had for a very long time. sam learnt how to eat rice using his hands. Kumz's my was great. her hospitality jus made us felt at home. we toked about so much things till late. hey peepsm, sorry eh i came very late. i was caught up in the club. the toa payoh gang went back home together taking a cab. toked even more cock. so here are the positions of the [Melay-Unit]:
me: figure-head
kumz: ringleader
prash: welfare
sean: spokesperson
vinod: bouncer
keane: mascot
sam: party organiser
jasmine: gangstress
hahahahahahahahaha. we r really full of crap la!

today was good! mugged till late afternoon then went shopping with my parents. wanted to buy stuffs but nth impressed me 2dae so in the end bought nth. i guess the nxt shopping trip would b after promos. yeah. for now. its all bout the books! oh well.
guess i've blogged a super long entry n shall stop here! term 4 begins tmr...

he aint heavy... he's my brother.

fasting month is fast approaching. jus like the promos! both are less than a month's time. mugging has become part of my life. holidays is about to be over. so fast. no tooooo fast. can someone please slow down the time??

i think my problem is that i have very short attention span when it comes to studying. further more, i also have been having lots of random thoughts nowdays. gee. whats happening to me?!

when you really want something (be it ur goal, dream or material), you will really go all out for it right? tats wat everyone will do. but see, at times u dont know whether you have got it or not. at times u think you got it at times u think there's still a long way to go. then kaboom ur lost! you think n analyse the situation n you think the best is let time decide what happens. see if u get it or you dont. but for how long do you think one can wait? i seriously dont know. i guess it depends on how much you really want the thing and how long ur willing to wait for it!

when the time finally come two obvious things will happen that will give you totally different reactions. the first, the happy one, you got it! ur reaction= jump arnd ur room. smile for the next few weeks knowing that ur efforts have paid off. you got what you wanted. the not-so-good result, u failed! you didnt get what you want and can only dream bout it from now on. u feel as though all the hard work and effort you put into getting that goal or thing you wanted all go down the drain. you feet as though something hard jus came smacking right into ur face! then some people will even regret why the hack he decided to get it in the first place (go read phil's blog. she perfectly explain y you should not regret on decisions u make). jus to hurt ur feelings? i dunno. well, recovery time may take long and affect ur the daily things u do.

tmr is the 1st [Melay-Unit] dinner at Kumz place. looking forward to it. tmr scc playing against Blacks. i really need to play rugby.!

pictures!

tired faces after College Day @ Far East. Where's Victor???















the SAS U17 2003 team. look! every1 has changed!














my civics group! 05S56! you pple r great!















i think is picture is really cool. look at all the boot n the stripes socks!

choclates and rugby? link? no

went back to school on tuesday to clean the house comm room. before that got a surprise from the 6th House Comm pple. they did this nice creamy and choclaty words for my bdae. it was very cute. i had to eat the m&m choclates on choc syrup. n thanks to herng. he dirtied my face! lol! i will get u back for tis. :p i got this cool rugby ball from them and they signed it. it really touched my heart to see how wonderful my frens from the 6th house comm are! thanks!!!

back to cleaning the room, everyone who cleaned will agree with me that there is more unwanted nonsense stuff rather then things we can actually use. most of them r old stuff.. those not used stuff after organising events. mabye we can use it next time. haha. doubt so though. anyway after cleaning the room, it looks much more better and cleaner! good job pple! now we hav a well- deserved room for ourselves. wohoo!

went back for GP yesterday and 2dae. no comments.

jus now wen i got damn sian of mugging, it went through the pictures of last yr b div rugby. then that feel of how much i miss them so much came. i miss all those nonsense we usually do.
i missed the laughter we had. i missed the brotherhood. i missed the scoldings we got from our coaches. i missed the feelings we had wen we won every single game. i missed the fights. i missed the pre-game psyche up. i missed mr leow tok cock sessions. i missed the gummy worms after match. i missed the time when mr wee scolded the ref. i missed the tears we shed. i missed the camps. i missed the "we will work as a team to win the 2004 Police Cup going through thick n thin". i missed time wen we always eat together after trg. i missed our 8,9, 15 move which was always excuted perfectly. i miss EVERYTHING.

i want this feeling to come back but i know it wont. knowing that u got ur brothers behind ur back to protect u feels great but u can nv get the same feeling again. the thing i miss the most- I MISSED the players!
arthur- the master of dirty tricks.
gerald- loves teaching his juniors.
liang sheng- the mischievous monkey
joel- always not giving up
feng xun- looks like a monster but very soft person!
nantha- iron man
remsten- always telling us how much he loved the england team
bryan- as blur as sotong. but always perform exceptionally well
eugene- the discipline master of the team. lol.
ashraf- dumb yet good. never stop to share his lame jokes! :p
wilson- loves rugby n i respect him for being able to balance his life

i hope u guys are all doing fine! take care!!

CANDY!!!!

today had maths lecture in the morning. the first part was rather dry cos i think the teacher is not feeling well. its also damn irritating to see people leaving and coming late. gee. some people left as though there was no lecturer like dat. how rude. i think most people got rather pissed too. after the break, things got much better. the lecturer changed. at least got some revision done.

then had Hose House Committee Lunch in the afternoon. Mr Tan treated us!! wohooo! we went to Anatolia @ Far East! Food was great and we had great bonding session (though we are already bonded). I don't know how come the main topic of the lunch was about ghost!As usual, everyone disturbed me la. Gee. but it was interesting once in a while hearing all those stories. even mr tan told us some stories. didnt really talked about work i guess. it was just pure fun, fun and more fun. now need 2 plan for house day after promos. shd b looking forward to it. the best part of the lunch was when Mr Tan bought ice-creams for us. the guy was playing tricks with him. mr tan tried his best to get the ice-cream but failed. he even break the ice-cream cone! after a few rounds of tricks, they guy finally gave mr tan the ice-cream. it was so funny!

after lunch, she min asked us whether we wanted to go buy choclates from Candy Empire at Millenia Walk. so it became the 1st hose house com outing! we tok bus and saw the cool guy chinese teacher! when we reach candy empire. every1 was speechless! It was live being in Heaven!!! Choclates here. Choclates there. Choclates EVERYWHERE! Our main aim was to get Willy Wonka Bars yeah! I was a little dissapointed that the bars didnt look like the ones in the movies. it was smaller! nevertheless, the taste of the Wonka Bar was just AWSOME!!!! Yet again. No words could describe it! I basically bought like $15+ worth of choclates! but sadly when i came home, 80% of it was eaten by my siblings. ahh. but nvm brotherly love eh.

anyway, back to the candy shopping, we shopped for like 1 hour! just as we left the shop, some1 needs just want to go back and buy MORE choclates. the worst part was yet to come. she min had to go back to sch so she left early leaving us there. we didnt bother much until we finished shopping and wanted to go home! We could find the mrt station. In other words, WE GOT LOST! LoL! and none of us knew the way to the mrt station! we were walked everywhere. asking people. we really like tourist like dat. wen we finally found city hall mrt station we had walked a long way!!! there was actually a short cut la. In my opinion, I think weiyan brought us the wrong way! LOL! Just had to blog tat. Weiyan tried to brainwash others to leave me behind but she failed! Caleb and I then went to popular at toa payoh before gg home. Today was GREAT! Candy Shopping anyone? :P

Happy Birthday Qian Li!

day.

today i studied! yes! no more slacking around too much already. its time to work, work n work till promo comes. its just so scary to look at the promos time table. thinking of the time left to promos and what i have done there are lots of things to do and catch up.

other than studying, had a rugby game 2dae. the club i was playing for, singapore cricket club, played against bucks 2dae. SCC won the game thus winning the league. wohoo! unbeaten for all games so far. it now the playoffs. 2 more games and that's all.

ok la. lazy to continue.

birthday?! bleh!

today is my birthday. didnt want to go school but bcos of chemistry test i had to come. further more, nth much happened in sch 2dae. day was great until a few unwanted events happened which spoilt my mood of celebration. mabye i shall start with the happy stuffs! nevertheless, a few people saved the day. you for telling me to cheer-up and herng n phil for having dinner with me!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I really appreciate it!

being in a jc i guess hav a different approach towards birthdays. people come n wish you instead of jus giving u hits. nevertheless, there is still no getting away since ur sas frens are together with you in sajc. so i got the traditional present for birthday boys. a good round of being whacked in the toilet. its so scary to see the melay unit and ruggers all in the toilet. is this a collaboration? anyways, they tried to get me on the ground but couldnt. haha! gd thing ruggers all want to be clean so they didnt give their share. lucky eh. the worst is yet to come la. the start using the water hose and spraying me in uniform! hd to use kumar as a shield (sorry eh) and hide in the cubical. the idea which people think was wrong, wasnt after all. sam (the guy who SPRAYED) shot the other end of the cubical and thank god i was closer to the door. then, a guy, V, shant name. threw the rubbish bin into the cubical. super lucky la it didnt hit me. jus when i thought everthing was over, they took powder and start powdering me. all wet. gee. then i quickly took the powder away n started throwing it at everyone. haha.wenmin gave me a toy gun n baby milk bottle for birthday. had to drink it from the bottle. and everyone there was looking at me and say.. what in the blue monkey backside is that guy doing?! after sch was over, the class had a birthday cake for all those who's bdae is quite close together. had a cake fight. as usual i kena from Prash. i will get u for this! i wanna thank all those who wished me and also whacked me. LoL!

HOWEVER, i was thinking of at least having a non-problematic birthday but i guess it can never happen. unexpected things cropped up causing me to lose the celebration mood and just go home n do nth. i cancelled all my appoinments (hey guys, i m really sorry for cancelling the appoinments last minute) and went home after meeting a few people to settle some things. wen tat unfateful even happened, everthing suddenly went against my liking and started to get pissed off. so wen i reach home, jus sat down n stone and now blog. i wonder why must all these nonsense crop up on the day i want to at least relax. i didnt want to be in such a mood but i guess somethings cant b controlled. suddenly all the not-so-good-thoughts came to my mind. to make things worse, one after another problem just crop up! ahhhh. hate it.

something which sets me thinking.. friends. is there such things as one who says he/she has lots of friends? i think its bullshit la. acquaintance i agree but not friends. friends are supposed to be people who you can share and trust everything with and i don't think some people are able to do that. friends dont leak secrets. friends to talk behind one another's back. friends dont backstab. friends dont sabo one another. what are they then? friends always support one another. friends protect one another be it physically or verbally. friends lend their shoulder to cry on. friends are your role model. friends WILL be there for u rain or shine. friends RESPECT each other. friends share their secrets and KEEP IT. BUT, u know sometimes friends can be artificial. they act they listen they are they care they act they support. but when you're down n screw things up they smile behind ur back and start telling the whole world ur problem. they bitch behind u then hoping u get stained even further. hm.. mabye its kind of extreme. but HEY PEOPLE! this things do happen. its just that you don't know cos its not meant for you to know! BUT u once u find out, the truth will crush you. nevertheless, i still believe that they are group of friends who are not like this. i dare to say i only have a handful of friends who i can really share everything about myself. yeps.

i know it rather wierd to blog about such stuff on my birthday but its just that i couldnt help it. i really want to have a wonderful day but its too late now. jus live it. its a good thing that i m not the person who takes birthdays with great importance. i think it doenst really matter they day you are born but how you will live your life. birthdays are just a reminder to tell you that you are getting older. its tells you to reflect about what you have done in your life. what you have achieve and what you really do want in life. birthdays remind you plan your future. mould how you want it to be. guess i shall stop here for today.

i dont mean to blog about anyone in particular. serious.

some things are worth letting go...

sometimes the hardest thing to do is to let go something that you've always wanted. u hav been trying to get that thing for very long but its time when you tell yourself- "hey.. forget it! get on with life n do what you do best!" As much as i dont want it to happen, i guess the time has come for me. like they always say, in life you don't always get what you want. I totally agree with it. no doubt at all. n i oso believe in live life with what you have and not what you want! it will be very contradictory if i tell u people oso not to give up in what you want and believe in. But HEY! its true too.

the bottom line is, you should how far you will be willing to sacrifice something in which you dreamt for. BUT then oso know that there are limits in life. once it has surpass the limit, then stop wasting your time and get on with life. let your dreams make u reach greater heights- so work for it but at no time let it control you. n how do you know wen ur a slave of ur dream? when you go against ur principles and priorites and play dirty just to achieve it.

influence i believe is something lethal. it has the power to affect people. either enlighten it with good things or poison it with evil things. it can and will change one's mind. so beware people! dun get influenced easily for most time it does more damage than good.

now for my priority check:
hm.. wat issit that i want now?!
1. Clear my Promotional Exams.
2. Excel in the sport i love most, rugby.
3. Support my friends!

another thing, some people think its good to know everything thats happening around you. let me tell u now its hell no! trust me on tis, sometimes it better not to know too much things. keep things simple so u wont have ur feelings hurt and confused.

hm... mabye the things i jus blog may be confusing and hav no link or irrelavant to you reading. if tats the case then hack it.

rest?!

been sleeping very late for the past few weeks. hav been either mugging or trg. promos are arnd the corner n i m getting use to do work after trg which is smth good. its gonna b hard though but i guess theres no choice. promos are jus arnd the corner n its time to work. nevertheless, rest is still just as important rite? so on fri i guess i was jus too tired n my body can no longer take it. i slept at bout 10.30pm n woke up at 11am on sat! felt as though my energy level has been restored. had a club game in the afternoon. singapore cricket club played against singapore recreational club. a good game though not tat impressive. n it was one of the most stressful game in my rugby life. cos it was the first time i had to play with 6 forwards in stead of the usually 8 man pack. scrums were not stable and kept wheeling. further more, less men in the break downs. one player got a red card and another got a yellow. thank god, we still won the game even though we played with 13 men in the field or at least with a man less then the opposition. nxt week game will be against bucks.

to the Melay Unit: I come in peace! LOL!

photo shoot!

yesterday went for photo shoot. i thought it was going to b like some boring thing but it turned out to be a super fun experience!!! meet lots of new people. one of them was john mark! super cool guy la. soccer dude from vjc. toked so much cock bout both of ur frens. then we used the computer in the room n surfed the web wasting time. i oso saw old frens. the photo we took were all damn nice. first time in my life ever gg 4 photo shoot.
1st they put make up on me. then they wanted me to look muddy as though i jus finished a rugby game. so wat they did, they put choclate syrup all over me! ahhh! it felt like yucks! but it smelled DELICIOUS! wen it was time to take photos, i was already very tired. worse, they made me pose n not move. its like even worse than rugby trg la. all the muscles cramping up! ouch! however, it is an experience i will never forget!

stand up for the champions!

i m soooo happy. on top of the world cos WE, sajc, won the national schools 10s!!! it was the first time i had the best tournament i ever had. haha. perfect. i guess everything went well. wat i was realli happy was that i scored 8 tries during the tournament. the newbies realli played very well n i mean every single one of them. mr ong said that it has been ages since sajc rugby won in a major tournmant. it has been a great honour for me to lead the team. also special thanks to our drop kickers who won got their kicks in to win the finals:
1. ALEX
2. MARC
3. SHERWYN (how in the blue moon u became such a good drop kicker sia?)

the weather didnt favour us though. it changed a few times. from raining to hot sunny weather and repeat a tat pattern for a few times. n bcos of tat i think i hav caught a flu or smth. don feel well now. haha.
the expression on every1's face when we won the national 10s make me felt like last yr wen we won the B div. the smile and joy on every1's face great. so lets now keep work together to achieve our main goal- u20 police cup.

2dae: SCC vs BLACKS [Div 2]

get serious

sometimes pple jus dunno when u r serious n wen ur not. when u mean wat u say n wen ur not. ohwell. nvm.

we had national day celebration. it was supposed to be the last major project of the 6th house committee to organise the feisty pursuit. bcos we had very small manpower when had a joint task execution wif the student council. therefore, on behalf of the 6th House Committee, I would like to thank the Student Council for thier help and support.
as forseen the feisty pursuit wld not be as rara cos they j2s are in their mids of preparing their prelims which is arnd the corner n further more, the econs students have their test after sch. i realli pitied them la. i mean they too need a break rite? anyways back to the rest. i believe everything went smoothly wif no major hiccups though during the race we had MIA (missing-in-action) civics group and to only find them mugging at one corner of the sch. a few other went to the reading room. some of them got kind of freaked out wen they saw me enter the reading room with a walkie-talkie and give tat "what are you doing here?" look. LoL! our job was supposed to be over after once the race ended but we worked over time. haha. seeing the school trying their get pple to the cafe to watch the concert, the 6th hse comm rendered their help n gather pple to the cafe. but unfortunately it rain n every1 had to be moved to the hall. so we then helped the sch again to move pple to the hall. haha! after the concert, had hse comm meeting.
then after tat went for lunch wif a few hse comm-ers at PS. after tat, planned to watch movie but all the movie tickets were like sold out so we walk arnd town n then LS n I last minutely decided to go lum's hse. then smth happen but shall not blog................................... his house is huge! thanks lum for inviting us. arthur, stef n i were in lum's room playing wif the com at the same time gossiping. tsk. muahahaha. then had dinner with lum. sorry lum i didnt eat. realli sorry k? stef, ls n i left early cos we were tooo tired. shared a cab home n the driver took us by god knows which ulu way to LS's house. n stef told me tat the total cab charge is $23. hahaha!

week

i havent been blogging of wat happened to me recently. mabye i m lazy. or smth some things are jus meant to be kept for myself. nevertheless let me summarize my week.
lots of things hav happened tis week. one thing for sure is that i m burnt out. i have been trg n playing without having a day rest since wed. i m totally dead.


mon was just like every other mon. during PE had napfa practice. we tried most stations. not tat tiring. u14 came down to train at our field. their semis coming up soon. against ri. mus win ah u14s! good luck! rugby trg was alrite. played touch rugby wif the j1s touch rugby gals. good experience for the newbies. i mus say the touch gals hav improved alot since we 1st played them. after tat had a mini fitness. pyramids- not tat bad. then the newbies were introduced to the rugby positions. advice for the newbies: watch lots of rugby games. esp wif the tri-nations now. get to watch some good action rugby.

nth happen on tue except i got a call from some1 tat needs help. in the end i didnt help. but found out lots of things which i didnt want to know. sad truth.

had a game wif the u14s on wed. it was the 1st time the new guys played. i hope they gained some experience. sch had a blood donation drive. onli 1/3 of the class came for GP cos the others were doin smth noble- donating blood. yeah. mr pang was like playing a search n rescue mission to find the missing 56-ers. LoL! smth realli stupid happened during GP. will not elaborate on it. yucks!

a day wif my class never look forward to is thurs cos it the longest day of sch. in the morn during assembly got some mass check. there was like 3 teachers inspecting a student. checking for hair n stuff. good thing i didnt get caught. then pe, did my napfa. 2.4km run was okay la. its like a 8 secs to an A la! so wasted. unfit. ahh. after sch had hse comm meeting. went alrite i presume. then most of them went to eat prata while caleb, jien n myself went to toa payoh hdb hub to get stuff for the feisty pursuit. had dinner wif caleb. haha!

fri the onli killer thing was the PT. then the malu thing: played soccer topless.

on sat morn was in sch preparing the feisty pursuit for national day. then afternoon had a rugby game. scc played wanderers. my team, scc won the game. so far we r undefeated. wohoo! then at nite went to watch tri-nations, NZ vs South Africa. Before the game started every1 was thinking how much will the kiwis beat south africa. but after the final whistle the tables turned. south africa beat the kiwis by 6 pts. wasted la. kiwis were generously giving away penalties and making deadly errors. ohwells.

sun, the same things i do like every other sundays.

nxt week is going to b very relaxing cos mon is half day, tue n wed got no sch. yeah.
