stayed at home today... my initial plan was to go to marina square... carry out my planning for my UnAmazing Race.. but as usual i was just too lazy... but the good thing is i actually did something... i din sleep at home the whole day... i went to report my leaking kitchen sink and faulty phonelines to my trusty condo management... i'm quite surprise the gal there actually recognises which unit i'm from... hahaa... she's quite cute anyway.. haha.. but i think she's beyond my age ba.. haha.. i also SMS'd many of my 06/99 ppl who haven got back to me for the attendance of the UnAmazing Race.. irritating... still dun wanna reply... hahaa..

hmm.. if u cant see the lyrics below... just right click here... den go to the drop-down menu and select coding and choose UNICODE (UTF-8)... and words will appear.. hahaa...

the whole istana thing was okay... wasnt really feeling nervous or excited cos i was there before... but i was desperately trying to find some familiar faces, so that i wun be the only one without company... very sianzZ one... luckily i found a few pple that i knew.. even my ex boss was there... so not too bad... got pple to talk to... reached there around 445pm.. having the event in the istana itself cos raining, if not will be in the garden... anyway.. uncle nathan only came around 6pm... den went around shaking hands and small talk... but he really goes all the way to shake everyone's hands... same attitude as the last time i came.. he is a good guy... took photo with him somemore... but dun think i'll get see the photos.. haha.. whole event ended around 720pm...

went bedok to meet yanli.. yes!! she's back.. haha...

why is today like the most uncomfortable day of my life? i woke up after 3 hrs of sleep, looking worst den a panda. i looked like a koala with those tired looking sagging eyes... anyway.. i woke up on the intention of going for basketball... but i cant bring myself to go out sweat it out.. come back super shagged den go for the istana thingy... now i really regret agreeing to go for the event, other den seeing the president i dun find it at all attracting.. sianzZ... i've been spending the past few hrs.. zombie-ing around... watched tv.. but nothing interesting... vacuumed the whole house... sent email... tried to msg esther see if she can entertain me.. haha.. but she just came back from chalet... so shall not torture her with my boredom... den no one online also... so sianzZ.....

maybe it's because yanli's not around.. she went to a kelong with her post-grad cse... yah.. without her around to pei me... i feel so lonely and so bored... it would be fine if there's others around... but it these kind of a time that makes her so so invaluable.. hehee..

i've picked out the clothes i wanna wear to the istana... very simple shirt and tie... i simply picked one that fits.. haha... color combi quite boring.. blue blue black... blue tie, blue shirt abd black pants... so sianzZ... so bored...

since i'm so bored... i'll attach the lyrics of some of the songs we composed and sang in our secondary school days.. a tribute to cchs/4e/98...

千 年 女 妖
 
我 学 校 有 个 老 师 她 很 好 笑,
她 觉 得 自 己 长 得 很 象 琼 瑶
她 矮 到 xiao,有 味 道,每 个 人 都 受 不 了
整 个 学 校 只 有 她 不 知 道
 
我 这 位 老 师 她 很 喜 欢 说 教,
说 男 女 关 系 千 万 不 要 乱 搞
她 说 一 套,作 一 套,后 来 我 们 才 知 道
原 来 她 根 本 就 没 人 敢 要
 
**这 种 人 不 应 该 在 学 校,这 种 人 她 应 该 在 板 桥
这 种 人 真 令 人 受 不 了,不 如 干 脆 叫 她 千 年 女 妖 ！
 
她 的 年 龄 已 经 是 老 大 不 小,
她 走 起 路 来 还 会 蹦 蹦 跳 跳
她 一 下 笑,一 下 叫,她 天 天 都 一 样 地 xiao
她 说 这 样 会 长 生 不 老
 
这 位 老 师 的 脾 气 你 不 要 领 教,
她 有 事 没 事 都 会 乱 喊 乱 叫
鬼 看 到 都 掉 头 跑,人 看 到 那 更 糟 糕
她 是 我 们 的 千 年 女 妖,我 们 学 校 的 千 年 女 妖 ！！

**
 
这 位 老 师 已 经 是 无 可 救 药,
你 看 她 穿 的 衣 服 你 就 知 道
有 purple,有 yellow, 还 有 加 上 mickey mouse
看 了 我 们 好 想 撞 墙 死 掉

**
 
她 简 直 就 是 我 们 的 千 年 女 妖 ！！！

考 试 烦 心

看 到 书 桌
上 面 队 满 了 灰 尘
看 到 墙 上 日 历
渐 渐 发 觉 考 试 根 接 近
打 扫 书 桌
清 理 上 面 的 灰 尘
当 我 打 开 书 本
我 才 发 现 自 己 比 猪 还 笨
下 定 决 心
这 次 考 试 一 定 要 拼
你 说 chemistry 也 有 它 的 theory
却 复 杂 的 让 我 放 弃

为 了 考 试 担 心， 考 试 烦 心
娱 乐 以 成 了 过 去
那 些 讨 厌 的 书
看 了 好 想 撞 墙 壁
为 了 考 试 担 心， 考 试 烦 心
一 天 喝 十 瓶 鸡 精
如 果 这 样 活 下 去
我 迟 早 会 变 成 神 经

went to tj early in the morning.. mummy drove me there while she goes east coast for her weekly walking exercise... hahaa... she actually has a walking gang.. diaozZ... anyway... i was there rather early but there's already this bunch of OAC ppl starting their training... hahaa.. simply a joke.. like army liddat... shout and scold... this is what i call bo liaozZ... u wanna be regimental wanna be fierce.. go to the army... in the real world u gotta be nicer... training is training but there's no need for ridiculous torture... but den again... training is all about discipline...

today's training turnout actually quite disappointing... only 8 of us... quite a few already told me they cannot come... so i have no one to blame... and it's outdoor... it's unlikely those not in the team would come help out in the scorching sun... anyway.. the sun is really hot lar... energy sapping is the word.. really shagged out after an hr or so... cant last long at all... motivation drop.. performance drop... k lar... next time hot sun we'll just do PT... talking abt discipline, one has to lead by example... but how do u lead when u cant do it? not convincing and no one will wanna follow... disappointed in myself... my knee was giving way today... had some trouble after the spiking session... quite painful... we started around 8 den 10plus end liaozZ... too hot lar....

got soccer match going on den we were watching... there was a fight!! din really know wat was going on.. but yah there was a fight... hahaa... the ref super cool... this is the first time i see a ref standing in the middle of the field all the time yet can give all the fouls and offsides and the outs... how the hell can he see?? hahaa... referee KELONG!! hahaha... but among everyone on the field the referee looks most pro.. haha.. so dum...

all of us went parkway for lunch.. ate at the hawker centre... ate chicken rice again.. hahaa... talk abit.. den all left liaozz.. quite boring lar... came home to sleep after collecting the book keli ask me to help her photocopy yesterday... was seriously tired.. slept for like half an hr den yanli's naima's granddaughter called, she just bought a new comp but dunno how to connect to the internet, she called yesterday liaozZ but very late liaozZ so i asked her to try out the steps in the manual and see can work not.. cannot den call me today... so yah she called... so i drove down to tampines to fix the problem.. simple problem... 15min gao dim... but i super drowsy liaozZ...

when i reached home i really fell on my bed... but my mum kept bugging me.. cos today got singtel ppl coming to look at out phonelines.. seem to have some problem... den she keep asking me to handle when she's the one who has the problem not me... my line is fine.. hahaa... anyway.. i know i have to handle lar.. cos when it comes to technical stuff.. she's in a world of her own... sure a lot of rubbish come out and still dunno wat's the problem... hahaa.. that's my mum... haha...

so i walked around with the technician trying to figure out wat the problem... we conclude that my sister and my lines are fine... but my mum's one ans the one in the hall is faulty.. so the main phone line is actually fine.. but the wiring in the house has something wrong... so gotta call our contractor to come see see... and last nite our kitchen sink leaking again... this house seems to be full of problems... sianzZ...

i immediately pounced on my bed once the contractor left... and tried to grab some sleep... feeling even more tired after talking to the contractor and explaining the faults to my mum...haizZ.. tiring.. slept all the way till 9plus 10 den woke up for dinner.. if my mum din wake me for dinner i would continue sleeping till midnite or maybe the next day... but she woke me up!! so i ate lar.. den came online.. chatted awhile till kaiyu ask me to go out for supper... with tth ans silie... so yah joined them for supper and talked a little abt fantastic 4 cos they just watched... and yes kaiyu like jessica alba too.. haha.. simply love her.. hahaa.. she is so stylo... haha...

went to jackson to eat.. ordered a stingray to share... very fast finish.. think everyone actually hungry.. haha.. went to tenghui's place after that cos he just came back from europe so got souvenirs for us.. he got some miniture wine bottles... dunno izzit wine or some other drink lar... it's from germany i think.. haha... so yah.. more stuff for my display cabinet...

now i feel quite awake... dun think i'm going to sleep cos later going to play basketball at bedok... so dun bother to sleep.. sleep liaozZ sure cannot wake up one.. so yah... stay awake ba.. but in the evening gotto go instana and chat with the president... haha.. i'm gonna zombie infront of him.. hahaa...

today started at 6pm again.. haha.. yah... my day and nite is now haywired!! woke up washed up and went out... suppose to go katong to do some photocopying for keli... yanli came to meet me on the way.. so we went katong together... one whole book to photocopy so tml den collect... after that went to the roland restaurant at parkway there... it's above the multistorey carpark one... the food there is supposed to be very nice... and the chef very famous... one of singapore's 4 top chefs... but only after dinner den realise that chef no longer works there.. he handed over to his god-son liaozZ... anyway.. i was there with yanli's 4 elder sisters and 1 bro-in-law... a pretty nice bunch of people... hungry ppl... food was not bad...

after dinner came home with yanli.. cause we going to watch fantastic 4 with my family... hehee.. i like the show... quite nite... and i simply love jessica alba... she is so so so attractive... like her for years liaozZ.. she's one yr older den me... so can say she grew up with me on tv?? hahaa... anyway... it's a nice show lar.. haha... jessica alba's even nicer.. whaha...

din go anywhere today... sleep whole day... waking up once in a while... but 99% in bed... din want to get up actually but mummy dragged me up to eat dinner.. haha... ate pasta.. my sis cook... din eat much... not that it's not nice lar... just that it was too cheezy until got a bit stinky.. hahaa... yah...

watched superstar... yesh!! the blackie is out... just dun like her at all... quite diappointed that F2 is out lar.. must be my fault.. cos i never vote... but i seriously think she chose the wrong song today... i expected the judges to comment on her song choice... i was surprised at the score... but even more surprise in the lack of votes.... hehee... quite surprise M3 is out too... tot he would be cute enough to gain lots of female voters... nvm still got revival round... they shld get thru.... just left out the black black one can liaozZ... hehee...

DOWN WITH THE BLACKIE!!

driving around alot today... morning drove mum to work... den drove home to change... took the registrations forms and went down to tj... gave fung the forms to fill in some details and get the $120 reg fees from him... but he having lessons so i just pass him the form.. later den go collect from him.. so meanwhile i pick yanli up and sent her to work... den went home to sleep for awhile...

went back to tj at around lunchtime got the form and the money.. den waited for eileen and co for lunch... chatted for awhile before going to down to VAS... peichun got much bigger den the last time i saw it... it's like 3 times the original size... but i dun see volleyballs everywhere anymore.. seems like more evenly distributed with other sports liaozZ... currently there's only 6 teams who submitted their application, tml's the deadline liaozZ... but can still submit until 22jul just that they gotta pay xtra $60... hmm... so still dunno how many teams to expect... 23 jul will have a briefing from VAS...

after that i went home to sleep again.. hahaa... den left around 630pm to meet kelly and esther to go watch initial D... went to buy burger king to smuggle into the cinema... the BK blacked-out the moment we collected our food.. haha... dun think we did anything wrong ba... only bought food for me and kelly, esther already eaten... den scurried in the dark cinema to sort out our food... quite comical actually....

it's quite a nice show.. and i think jay chou did quite a good job... the role suits his style... think all the roles are nicely chosen... the actors image really enhance the credibility of the show, they fit the characters nicely... think edison is like super charismatic in the show lar, think he just doubled his fan-base... hahhaaa.. so jealous.. haha... well.. wat to do? i'm not shuai.. haha... as for the driving, i think it's really stylo lar... i now have the urge to increase speed at every bend... do a little "piao yi"... awww... but too bad my car is auto... hahaaa..

oh yah.. my NCAP level 1 cert is finally here... a puny A5 size cert.. haha... time to register for my theory cse.. and first aid cse...

din go sentosa today.. decided to hibernate.. very nice to sleep in cold cold aircon.. haha... and my phoone was on silent mode.. so it wasnt able to wake me up also... so i lied on the bed for the whole morning.. until abt 2 plus.. den i got out of bed.. and started to meddle with my tjvb alumni stuff.. started organising the personal particulars... see wat i was short off... and i found out i was actually short of quite a few ppls stuff.. so i sms'd to chase for them... and luckily... i have most of them settle now..

tml morning i will go to tj to find fung to settle e rest of the form and off i go to VAS.. perhaps i shld pay my $30 reg fee for a coach too.. hehe...

just now drove yanli home, den on the way home heard this guy on 93.3fm talking abt falling in love with his god-sis, but now she has a boyfriend, den he like buay song... saying stuff like he wanted to woo her.. but now too late cos she got boyfriend... i hear liaozZ, i was like " come on lor, make up ur mind, lover or sister??" if u love her, can love her, in the position to love her, LOVE her... if u cant love her and made her ur sis, live with it... the next best thing u can do is to take care of her, be around when she need u... not be jealous over her boyfriend... that's ridiculous...

i have many sisters myself.. and i'm not shy to say i love all of them... and i wish the best for them... but if ever they meet someone whom i think is unsuitable... i could only advice... whether she heeds my advice, it's up to her...

today's rotting day again... din do any housework... just played computer games, while rotting time away and watching tv... discovery channel.. haha... nothing very interesting, except this show on a hypothetical alien planet... totally based on the imagination of some scientists, imagining what their probes would see when they reach distant planets light years away... they really do have vivid imagination.. hahaa...

went taka to shop with yanli, and to have dinner... so crowded even though it was monday.. so weird.. haha.. yah... din manage to do any effective shopping... so din buy anything... and i still have my $80 taka voucher from ORD till now... hahaa.. almost 1 yr liaozZ still haven use...

went to watch "a lot like love"... quite a nice show... another one of those simple plot... nice actors... sweet moments.. expected ending show... not bad lar... but not a box office blaster though...

going sentosa tml... going there to rot and tan... and show fats... maybe the sun will burn some away.. haha...

finally got out of bed... i was really really exhausted when i got home today afternoon.... now whole body aching like siaozZ... too much games in too short a time..

yesterday went down to tj for vball bbq... suppose to be a gathering for all the vball ppl.. young and old... but most of the old ones cannot make it... yah... dunno is really busy or not.. hahaa... nowadays ppl always so busy...

we went with yanli... so me gotta spend time with her lor... cannot let her be bored mahzZ.. hehee... play basketball, play tennis, play vball... her favourite is playing with the cats.. haha... tj got so many cats nowadays.. some are very cute.. but they very scared of us.. so cannot get close... haha..

i brought my basketball cos i staying overnite in sch den suday morning can go basketball at fengshan cc direct... think my basket ball quite on form for these few days... haha.. can do alot of funny things... a lot of weird pattern all come out.. hahaa.. and most of my shots went in the basket... haha.. quite shuang... really shuang when u become the starplayer of the court... that's pretty much the standard i was playing at today and yesterday... very shuang... hahaa... the kind of feeling where ppl knows u are good and pass the ball to u, knowing u can make the shot and score... shiok... but better than just the feeling is to actually be able to do it.. shiok shiok.. haha...

yah.. yesterday was having bbq.. but din eat much only ate 3 chix wings, a few satay... 5 hotdogs... a mouth of beehoon... drank a lot of water lar.. hahaa.. most of the food finished... but left a huge bag of Otar... which we finished it while watching movie...

we watched movie inthe video room thru-out the nite... watched "a series of unfortunate events", "cursed" and "alone in the dark"... den i toasted the otar in the oven and everyone ate it.. cos everyone was hungry in the nite.. haha.. even went to play basketball in the dark during halftime.. haha... weifeng is a very fun gal... somemore very onzZ... she got hungry middle of the nite.. den went to look around for food.. look very comical... hahaa..

went to watch war of the worlds... been hearing abt this story since i was young.. but i've never read the book b4.. so this is the first time i have seen the whole story... interesting plot... interesting ending.. quite duhzZ actually... actually i think this is the show that inspired shows like "mars attacks" and "evolution"... all abt alien attack and how man are so defenseless against them and yet the invaders can be defeated with such simple means... okay "mars attack" is total crap lar... those who have watched that shld know wat i mean... well... yah... so we dun have to worry abt aliens?? hmmm...

I dropped my laptop!!! there's crack on one side liaozZ!! it's injured!!! sobzZ.......................................................................................................................................

went down to NUS to make payment for my hostel application.. but before that i made a trip down to PLAB.. wanted to see if i could defer my ICT in september by showing them watever i have from NUS... yah.. ended up to be a waste of time... cos i could not defer it... not till i matriculate.. irritating... waste my time... anyways... i went NUS with kelly... drove to NUS... just to make a 3min payment... like a bit waste time also... haha... din want to waste our trip all the way down to the west... so i decided to go holland village... was there on sunday but din have the chance to walk around... so this was officially my second time there only.. so went to walk around with kelly.. the place really filled with lots of cafes, restaurants, pubs and such... we ended up at gelare, cos it's tuesday, waffles day!! haha... very long never eat liaozZ... still nice... the seats there quite cosy got a lot of big big cushions... and the waffles there like cheaper den normal... haha.. basically it's nice lar... hahaa...

tml going to do stock taking with esther and jass... hehe... all the way down to ang mo kio.. hehe... tired tired.. zZzzzzZZzzz....

just got home... highlight of the day: ma la huo guo @ bugis!!! really hot hot hot!! $10.. my stomach is still burning now... quite shiok but really cannot last long... too hot... my taste buds really getting less extreme... used to be able to take extremem hotness... but jus now... really felt a little unbearable... stomach burning... ass starting to burn after going to the toilet.. hahaa.. but still quite shiok.. hahaa... anyway.. i was there with my 12/00 frens.. xinwei, chengxi, joseph, desmond and shanyi were there... met des & shanyi on the way to the place.. very hard to find parking space.. in the end parked at bugis junction...

peiyi & zoeline joined us after dinner.. den we went to a cafe neardy.. forgot the name of the place... the coffee not bad lar... surroundings not bad... quite cosy... got durian milkshake... got ice cube coffee.. quite interesting lar.. but not cheap... $7-9 per drink... stayed there till quite late.. around 1130pm den leave... very long never see them liaozZ... last time we met up was dec last yr for xmas potluck... so fast 6 mths liaozZ.. very soon i'll be in NUS... for many of them.. they will be in their last yr or graduating liaozZ... so fast...

highlight of the day KTV @ Kbox.. hehe.. yesh KTV again... woke up early in the morning so i could send my mum to work den i can use the car for the rest of the day... yah... went to pick jass and esther at noon to go orchard... went to fill form for stack taking job this thursday... jass was lucky she was there.. so she got the job too... duhzZ... but that means got 1 more ppl pei me & esther on thurs.. after orchard i send jass and esther all the way to NTU to hand in their acceptance to NTU... haven been there in a while... but not bad lar.. din get lost...

drove down to parkway for KTV... waited for kelly to come... den we went for lunch at the hawker before singing... esther and kelly ate the wet wet char kuay tiao... but seems like it has deteriorated liaozZ... or maybe today the chef PMS... too much garlic... overwhelming garlic taste... not good any more...

we got the package from 2 to 7pm.. seems ultra long lar... but nvm... sing till very shiok... weijie came to join us almost an hr into the singing.. yupzZ.. the andy lau started singing and there goes his concert.. haha.. realised jass can actually sing very well... her voice suits landy's song very much.. very nice... and the way she sings really looks really effortless... really impressed... kelly's surprising too... 1. i'm surprised she sings chinese songs. 2. i'm surprised she has a high pitched voice... her voice suits selena quite well... but too bad there's lot's of chinese characters she cant read.. hahaa... super funny lar... she can sing halfway den suddenly "wat's that word?" yah.... overall had a great time singing... we kindda extended our stay at kbox by refusing to leave.. hehee... managed to squeeze more den an hr extra..

weijie went home after ktv... the remaining 4 of us went swensens for dinner... esther and me had baked rice, jass had pasta, kelly had mini burgers... i think the baked rice not bad... but abit too saltish... like baked rice i make myself more.. haha... dessert's more exciting... shared sizzling banana crumble with esther... not bad... but like too sweet liaozZ.. hehee... seems like my taste buds not as extreme as they used to be liaozZ... that's good... and i still think esther is not full.. hahaa... am i rite mei??

went back to tj to play vball today... quite shuang... hay asked me a qn... "what position am i training for in the alumni team"... well i told him i dunno... and that's really the truth... i dunno... i want to be the best spiker, best defender, best setter, best server... but but... that's just a dream... i seriously dunno wat position i shld fit into... well for now... i'm just training to get my basics, reaction time back... and also to sweat it out...

the gals came to play at around 12... i stayed back to join them also but i was really feeling tired... not really playing well... but i think most of them enjoyed themselves.... yah... fun is the most impt thing...

went for lunch with them... by then almost 3pm liaozZ... haha. super late lunch... esther and eileen had pig trotters.. quite tempted to have that also.. hhaa.. but in the end i ordered charsiew + roast duck... quite shuang.. very long never eat liaozZ....

rotting at home since den.... zZzzZzzz....

just now i said in the chatroom "i saw 100 hits at my BLOG for today"... i just realised i see wrongly... i saw 184 when it's only 104... hahahaa.... so only around 20 ppl lar... that's the normal number.. hehee.... so paiseh... but really thanks to the ppl who visit me here... i think i dun really know how to express myself when i speak... but here.. i type everythin i have in my mind... and ppl who care will read and learn abt me... THANKS PPL!!!

today!! todayis JB day... woke up around 9plus almost 10.. cos mum called to tell me she is at polyclinic... ask me if i want fish porridge... hahaa.. sounds a bit no link.. polyclinic-fish porridge... hahaa anyway.. i'm glad she finally went to visit the doctor... she's been coughing since she came back from hainan dao... that's like 3 weeks liaozZ!! she better get better, or else i'll drag her to a specialist... whahaa... kk.. so i had fish porridge for breakfast... rot awhile den went to bugis to meet fung and esther... they expecting to see kelly too.. but poor kelly couldnt come cos her mum's SO worried for her... yah.. so only left with the 3 of us...

we took the express bus to JB.. $2.40.. still remember the time when eileen only paid $1.20 cos the driver tot she primary sch kid!! OMG!! how blind can ppl get?? anyway.. today traffic quite good.. not too crowded.. reach city square in less den an hr... had lunch there... din really eat much cos ate porridge earlier and i wanna save my stomach for dinner... ate hotplate chicken w rice... ate the chicken din really touch the rice... fung paid.. hehe.. walked around at city square.. bought a pouch for my mp3player... S$9.. fake stussy one.. hahaa.. but nvm... can fit my player can liaozZ... we also ate this shaved ice... kindda like the taiwan one.. but not as good lar... not too bad though...

took a cab to holiday plaza... shopped around there for quite some time.. we bought 25 titles altogether... not bad... cant wait for them to come over... den we'll all go fung's place to watch... hahaa.. but sadly a lot of new shows still not out or not clear... sianzZ... spend quite some time at the comic shops too... esther and fung's heaven.. to me it's uncharted waters... we came across this shop that fung said sells comics, but now it sells posters.. very beautiful ones too... really very nice... they are collectibles... very well kepts and framed.. but they cost a bomb too... wish i had the money to buy one...

went to "da ma hua yuan", or taman sri tebrau in malay, for dinner... ate "jiao hua ji", oat prawn, vege, turtle soup, stew ferret and some shellfish called "gong gong" haha... ate till very shuang... dunno if esther was really full.. hahaa.. she looked like she could have more... hahaa.. anyway.. we went back to holiday plaza to buy some titbits to bring back to sg... den went to city square again.. apparently, fung's looking for some comic... i wun know and wun understand so i din ask... hahaa.. we went to eat satay after that... fung ordered from a diff stall from the usual.. the meat is fattier then the usual one.. although more tasty.. but i think the usual one still tastes better.. the meat more tender.. hahaa...

i took more den an hr to type my entry till here... why?? cos i was chatting in msn with the vball ppl... quite shuang... think i seldom say so much in the chat room... hahaa.. shall do that more often... anyway... ppl out there... to me, wanting will be known as fossil a.k.a. hua shi from now on, why?? cos i think she likes to stone, and not just stone.. i used to say weathering as the next stage of stoning.. but i think that's too outdated even more me.. hahaa.. so i chose fossilisation.. haha... so yah... wanting is a fossil a.k.a. hua shi k??!! hahaa....

just came back from ktv not long ago... highlight of the day is ktv... but better start at the beginning of the day which only started like 12 plus almost 1pm.. haha.. that's when dear called to ask me to go for lunch.. cos she and her boos came to a coffeeshop near my place for lunch, so i join them lar... ate sliced fish soup... the fish like no need money one... hahaa..

after lunch i went down to lawyer office to hand a cheque to the lawyer for my mum... owe them for some time liaozZ... the lawyer office very ulu... at the furniture mall at beach road there... walked very far in... irritating.... just for a cheque...

after den came home to rot... till about 6 plus den i finally took a jog on my treadmill.. haha... think too long never run on it... got a lot of funny sound... quite scary.. as if it's going to give way anytime... but heck lar... if give way den means time for a new one... hahaa.. or maybe time to go to the gym downstairs...

k... finally mum drove the car home and i can leave.. i went to bedok first.. to pick up my tao sar piah from penang.. asked alison to get it for me since she was going to penang... initially was still worried if she got the correct thing, cos she like dunno how it shld taste if it's nice... hahaa... but anyway.. it's nice... so THANKS SIS!!

now for the highlight... went to the partyworld at orchard... no diff from other partyworlds.. look almost the same... service the same.. taiwan still puts them to shame... anyway.. that's beside the point... the point is dear and i get to listen to my fren's singing.. this tj classmate of mine, puey yee has wonderful vocals.. i think all of us who has been to the ktv her before would agree with me... she is simply fantastic... whenever she sings, it's as if we were at a live concert.. and mine u, not just any concert... it's a world class act... as for my singing.. though i can reach some high notes but mine voice is boring and simple.. hahaa.. while hers... WOAH!!! idol!! hahaaa... some record company better sign her up fast... dun let this talent go to waste... hahaaa... dun think i'll be able to sleep without putting this down...

have been rotting at home the whole day... couldnt get myself onto my treadmill... hahaa... only refrained myself from eating.. hahaa... not a bad job i would say.. hahaa... but still a long way to my goal... somemore thurs going jb to makan... hmmm think will fast during the day before going jb... hahaa... not sur eif i can drive there... gotta convince my mum... tml den ask.... dun wanna give her time to change her mind...

just now cooked dinner... with my sis... whipped up quite a spread... quite impressed with myself.. hahaa.. but for those who have experienced my cooking.. it's always a spread.. hahaa...

i think i finally know how my hermit crab died... it was murdered!!! by another hermit crab!!! yesterday i put the empty shell back in the tank... and the murderer tookover the shell!! dumb crab... fight over shells of the same size... haizZ... hope this doesnt happen anymore cos the other 2 crabs still very small dun think they will rouse the murderer's interest... sobzZz...

din buy bowling ball yet... marina got no shop... so other time den go see see look look... went grandma house for dinner... food okay lor...

when i got home i realised one of my hermit crab DIED!!! it was still alive when i left home in the afternoon.. seriously dunno how it died... my sis pulled the crab out of it's shell.. it look kindda disgusting... so yah.. now i only have 3 crabs left.. sobzZ... so much for them being able to last 15 to 30 yrs....

just got home...went tj for vball in the morning... guys alumni training.. first training with only alumni... i asked 2 of my secondary school frens along.. since they know almost all of us in tj... think it's rather hard to control the crowd.. they they are no longer students... so cannot expect them to be guai kia... some will auto... some dilly dally, totally wasting time... today played okay.. played as setter... made a few good plays... but overall i still very lazy to move.. not like last time liddat... must continue to lose weight.. dunno if i lost any in the first place.. cos still eating as usual... gotta go buy a weighing machine... nian han came for today's training... he is totally out of touch... he is now a PC at 3rd guards with means marcus is one of his men... hahaa.. he's now super fit... army has done a lot for him... and he is definitely taller den when he left...

joined nianhan, andre and yishan for lunch at katong.. meiyuan restaurant, selling roasted meat and chicken rice.. always pass by there seeing the crowd.. today finally i'm among the crowded..the food not bad.. rather sinful, quite a lot of fatty meat.. but that's wat makes it nice.. hahaaa... i guess there goes my exercise for the day...

going to meet yanli soon.. gonna go see if there's a suitable bowling ball for me.. hehee... yeah... finally i can get my own bowling ball.. hahaa..

went back to tj for vball in the morning.. 4 new gals came today... 2 from NAS 2 fm Pasir Ris... the 2 from NAS quite good... and the left-hander from PRS also not bad.. she came on wednesday also.. but she wasnt as good as today... i think i have a problem bringing up team spirit... i see the way hay and eileen bring up the team while they are in the game.. while i kindda talk to myself... not encouraging enuff.. well i'm still learning... guess it's not in my nature to be the ultra noisy one.. unless i very high... wanting seems weird today... or rather i think she seems weird since last training... exam stress getting on her?? well.. maybe she was just traumatised by that hornet.... eileen came for training today.. good to see her.. she is still powerful... her short hair very stylo... look like miss ang.. seems like miss ang is her idol.. haha.. cannot blame.. miss ang really very stylo.. somebody please get lihui to study!!!

drove to tj.. drove around today.. kindda tired... came home to rest awhile before going to pick yanli and send my sis to plaza sing for guitar lessons... saw wang jian fu and fiona xie there.. they filming the "hao she er ren zu" quite lame... apple hung was there too she she quite short.. hahaa.. wang jian fu abt my height.. hahaa..

ate at this japanese restaurant at PS... shld be a co-company of fiesta.. the food quite normal.. not fantastic.. but good enough for me and yanli.. and most imptly.. mum's paying.. haha...

went back to tj for training today.. so long never play ball liaozZ.. pretty sucky... but it was great to see everyone... most of us still having a little post-taiwan blues... hehee... think some of them saw the scandalous pic of choonfu and isa... if they cannot take it... I APOLOGISE... but just one word from anyone and i'll take off the pic immediately... k.. back to training... had a lot of fun playing... trials for the sec 4s... not outstanding... but i see a few prospects lar... very happy to see all of them also... esp the yr 2s... vos this shld be one of the few times they will be back for vball... studies up and coming...

went to cut hair at pointers after vball... fell asleep while cutting.. luckily my hair still looks okay... slightly shorter on the sides cos the were irritating my ears...

did a bit of running in school... cannot make it... but it's a start... continue to exercise tml...

it's been a few days since i'm back.. doing nothing much at home.. but i've not been eating much (compared to my usual standards lar)... my aim is to lose at least 10kgs before NUS starts... yah that will be my aim... hahaa... anyway for pple who dun know yet... i've up all my photos at my fotopic website... can follow my link on the lefthand side to the pics... happy viewing... going back to tj tml... fung say got some trials.. dunno trial guys or gals... but will be back lar...

had been back for a day liaozZ... and now i'm finally in front of my comp... typing my blog while i arrange my pics... i have lot of photos to arrange... it's a good thing... hehee... the trip had been fun... spent my bday there... unforgetable experience they have given me.. taiwanese have given me a very good impression... i've met many frenly pple and their service attitude has really put us to shame...

<29/05>
first day, we reached in the early afternoon... waited a long long time for our bus to arrive... we hung around at the airport for almost 2 hours before the pink "pin guan" bus came... we were quite happy with the bus.. it was huge and spacious... although it wasnt really new but it was good enough i guess... i din hear anyone complain.. hahaa.. first nite we went to a nite market near NTU (National Taiwan Uni)... din buy anything that nite... just walk walk see see... some of them had their first taste of local food.. like chou dou fu... i warn you, it's nice... nothing much for the first day... went back to the hostel quite early den started playing games... played mahjong initially with shengli, choonfu and ben... bad idea.. lost money... not that enjoyable also... after that played hay's version of heart-attack.. it's very fun... wanted to join them while i was still playing mahjong cos it really looked fun... realised my was reaction was ultra slow cos i always lost... played thru the nite cos next morning going to hualien... gonna take 8hrs of bus...

<30/05>
the journey was long and torturous... my head was spinning most of the time... but thanks to my "wu hua guo" i managed to survive and was able to enjoy the beautiful scenary along the way... hualien is literally cool... and i din bring a single warm clothe at all... dinner there was at a local stall... not too hygenic but i think not many of us bother about that... bought rice wine to try... rather disappointing... hahaa... played mahjong at nite again... although i won... i still find it boring... luckily no more for the next few days... also becos of mahjong i missed the nite walk that some of them went on... guess i miss a lot of fun on that one...

<31/05>
after one night at the hostel at hualien, we took another 8 hrs ride back to taipei... but this time we made a detour to "ye liu" where we visited the legendary rocks... i was there before... so i was a partial guide to them... that nite was more exciting... went to "hua xi" street.. haven been there before... it feels kindda like hongkong.. a lot of shops selling tonic soups and providing foot massages... fung, kaiyang and me ate an interesting snake tonic... it consists of snake soup, glass each of snake blood, snake bile and snake poison... not that bad.. they all just taste like tonic wine that's all... nothing too scary... but really felt hot after the "cuisine"... walked around the area and we found HERMIT CRABS... i bought 4... pretty active... hahaa. and they are now alive and kicking in front of my tv... whahaaa... my sis and yanli are pretty excited about them.. hahaa... it was ms ang's bday and we could only hastily get a tub of ice-cream as present for her... but i think she's happy with the surprise... hahaa... made her drink quite a lot of jim bean also.. hahaa... the yr 2 gals came to our room that nite... din really know why... guess they din want to be on the 4th floor alone... so i shared bed with bryan... haha and i survived his snores... ahhaa

<01/06>
woke up rather early cos i was freezing... esp after i bathed... so i went to the lobby area there where there's no aircon... we went to "wu fen pu" that morning, not the place for me.. i'm really not there to buy clothes... so went with fung to "guang hua shang chang" taiwan's version of sim lim sq... the stuff there really cheap... so i bought my mp3 player there... 1 GB with almost every function u can think of for only S$200... yah.. fung bought more stuff there... he really is go there to pack himself with electronics one... went to Taipei Main Station to look at train schedules cos we may be taking it to go somewhere further... but in the end din materialise cos dunno where to go... hahaa.. den it was nite liaozZ... off to shilin we went... and here comes my super big fried chicken... hahaa... bought 2 singles and 2 tshirts there.. quite cheap so still ok... ate a lot of stuff... after awhile i was walking alone liaozZ... den i saw jass, she told me she couldnt find ZZ... den came rach and alison saying the same thing... so we walked around looking for her... den saw hay... he got into the search too... everyone's anxious abt losing her... somehow i was still relax.. still stight-seeing.. not that i'm not worried she may look a little naive... but i believe she's better that how she looks... definitely smart enuff to take care of herself... i stopped to buy some fruits while the others continue the search... after buying the fruits i tried to ctach up with the search party and i saw ZZ at the next bend... hahaa.. wat a joke... while they were looking so high and low... she just appeared in front of me after i bought some fruits... hahaa.. i said there was nothing to worry rite?? hahaaa... felt EARTHQUAKE close to midnite... scary feeling... first u get a dizzy feeling... den things starting becoming wavy, including the walls, bed and doors... unlike wat we always see in movies where things go jerky... scary!! guess i was quite calm... when we evacuated to the lobby... it seems like we are the only ones who evacuated... but i really discourage their indifference... if something worst was to come... will they be able to leave in time? i believe we could be the only one in safe grounds...

<02/06>
this morning we took the MRT all the way to e end station at "Dan Shui" it's a port... we went to the famous "yu ren ma tou" interesting place... nice scenary.. took a lot photos there... there was this bunch of kindergarten kids who turned up... and the yr 1s just went gaga over them.. haa.. kids going crazy over kids.. hahaa.. wat a sight.. hahaa... after that went to "dan shui lao jie" to buy "tie dan" bought a lot of it... hahaa... also ate the local speciality "ah gei"... on the way back on the MRT.. there was this kid.. very active.. very cute.. and he's simply crazy abt choonfu.. hahaa.. he even chose choonfu over this parents... hahaa.. went to KTV... kindda lost at first cos din know how it works over there... but after a while got used to it liaozZ.. sang a lot of songs.. cos i kept hogging onto the mike.. hahaa... think the service there is very good... much better den in singapore... almost the same price as in singapore... yah.. sang till 11plus before going back to the hostel... i got into a cosy position and i fell sleep quite early...

<03/06>
it's my bday... but i wasnt expecting anything much except some handshakes and greetings cos i was hoping at least some ppl remembered... it was a free and easy day... so we went to bookshop area near "xing guang san yue"... but i wasnt interested in books so i walked to "ximenting" from there... ron and shengli followed me... so we walked around.. but the 2 of them felt sick and tired soon and went back to the hostel themselves first... while i waited for the rest to come to ximenting.. brought jass to go buy posters while the rest continued shopping... me and jass went to see see look look at the arcade and we saw a super accurate hoop shooter... and we took a vid of him strutting his skills.. super zai... we went to a cafe that has swinging chairs for a bite... nice place... order some cakes and they sang birthday song for me... i was happy... really touched... as the day creeps away i tot i would have spent my bday with on some greetings... shopping has not ended.. went back to NTU nite market there... to shop again... hay finally bought the gifts he wanna get... while i got a shoe bag... alison's the cute one, she wanted to buy a pants but she din have enough money so she called me to help her.. hahaa.. super funny... but i was glad she called me for help... she's always a sister to me... we went back to the hostel after that... i bought noodles from 7eleven for supper... and was packing my stuff on my bed when everyone walked in with a birthday cake... i was super touched... it's been years since i had pple celebrate my bday with me... hay got me 2 vball books... i like them very much cos there's a lot of pictures.. hahaa... i just wanna say thanks to everyone for giving me this memory... for making my bday more den ordinary...

<04/06>
last day... wanted to take a lot of photos with everyone... but somehow it din materialise also... really wanted to take photo with everyone but it seems like not many of them were interested... yah.... that's the end of the trip... a week just past liddat... like quite sad... but i had fun...

kindda had a handover this morning... headache and a bit of diarrhea... felt better after some panadol... slept till 4 plus till dear came... we went shopping together.. she bought a pair of working pants and shoes.. me just bought some stuff for taiwan... changed S$425 for 8000NT... hope it will be enough... hehee...

met up with kaiyu, tenghui, vince and weiting for dinner... ate at V8 at bugis junction... food was not bad but my stomach was still not feeling too good... but the food was not bad.. decided to go bowling... but wasted some time waiting for silie to come down from pasir panjang... so we went to eat dessert while waiting for him... ate at monster ice.. a shop near Sim Lim that sells sherbets.. nice nice...

bowling was not bad... played 2 games... 2nd game was my highlight... started off with a turkey... den a spare.. but downhill from den on.. but i still managed a 165 score.. that's like the highest since secondary school.. the only time i got higher was my record 178... hahaa... kindda lousy.. but i think i was tired lar... if not i would have continued to play again...

went geylang serai to eat roti prata after bowling... met huimin there again... we met her there some time back too went we were there for supper... hahaa.. so "qiao" hahaa... there were some gossips about her and her boyfriend... haha..

BOC is very family-like... brother and sisters... my reservist is over for now... next one shld be atleast 5 yrs later... yah... just had a great time for the past week... lots of fun and excitment in the exercise... relearnt lots of stuff... all in all, it has been a good week...

yesterday i received a letter from MOE... my application for MOE teaching award was turned down... sobzZ... but i kindda expected it lar... i seldom make it thru interviews... find it hard to sell myself... even though i know that's the way to do things... well.... guess i'll just be an average student afterall...

tml's my last day of reservist liaozZ.. think the next time i'll be back will be at least 4 yrs later... going to defer my ICTs for uni... yah.. the past few days have been exciting, stressful, tiring, and now i'm having a splitting headache... aarrgghhh...

going to taiwan on sunday... hahaa... counting down...

exercise has begun.. a rather slow start to the exercise.. nothing much happening... some cock-ups here and there as usual... felt kindda lost at first... cos very long never do operations liaozZ.. but after awhile quite okay liaozZ... got the hang of things happening... so quite relax... got long breaks in between... played winning eleven... hadnt played that game in years... and i think i'm not bad... quite lucky and scored quite a few goals.. hahaa.. and the newbie(me!!) won.. hahaa.. oh yah... drove to camp today.. quite shiok to be driving in... felt a sense of pride... although it's my mum's car, still feel shiok.. haha..will be driving the rest of the week till mum comes back next mon... i'll be leaving for taiwan on sunday morning... i'll be driving to airport too.. hehee.. shiok ar!!

ANY SWEAT?? NO SWEAT!! Wello... wello.. wello.... :P

spent the weekend in JB with dear... it was a nice weekend... supposed to celebrate our anniversary there lar... but din really din much of a celebration... but we did have a good time there... went shopping.. bought a few things here and there... ate alot of nice food... and cheap too... yah... really enjoyed ourselves... yah.. guess the best part shld be staying in Pan Pacific.. the room was HUGE.. the TOILET was HUGE-ER!! whahaaa... sadly it was only one night... no money to stay too long anyway... we order room service for supper too.. really nice.. hahaa... haven ordered room service for so so long.. i think room service is really something we must enjoy whenever we stay in a hotel... just makes everything seem so much nicer... hehee...

i now rotting in front of my comp... mum took laptop to work... so i using comp... yah... din noe wat to do today... yesterday was my 5th anniversary with yanli... but it wasnt all that exciting... she's working in the day.. so me rot... den gave tuition... she had pilates after work... so i could only meet her ofter that.. we meet at around 930pm... to go for dinner at toa payoh.. we went to this kuay chap that we like very much.. cheap and nice.. yah.. that was pretty much it liaozZ... dinner was nice lar... but dun think that's enough for a day liddat lor.. went to my house to watch tv for awhile.. den she wants to go home liaozZ... while sending her home.. i just felt sad... just felt the day shld just end liddat... so i suggested to go watch movie... but when we reached cineleisure.. the last show already started and they were already cleaning up... it was only 1230.. i just felt so depressed.... i din know wat to do from den on.... we rot in the car for a long time den finally decided to send her home... felt sad all the way... even though she offered to spend the nite with me... i was really tempted to bring her home immediately, but i knew she would not get a good nite's sleep and would wake up the next day feeling tired... and i really hate to see her feeling tired... when she's tired i just feel so neglected... so alone... yah.. so she went home.. i waited at the carpark for awhile... hoping that she would come back down... but i drove home.. and i still felt sad... i know that she isnt doing anything wrong... maybe i'm just asking for too much...

just now i visited quite a fwe pple's blog... think some of them are actually feeling lost now... why?? cos the vball season is over... while all of them love to p lay vball the passing of the season means no more trainings... time to start studying... for the yr twos... it's bye bye tj.. even if they go for trainings it's unlikely they will get to play for tj again... kindda like withdrawal symptom... haha... they will all get out of it... sad undoubtedly.. but yah.. i believe all of them have grown up a little....

wat a day at toa payoh stadium... it's not tj's day though... yah... they lost 0-3 to ny... it's quite a one-sided affair.... tj was just no match for ny's sheer power... they seemed like the most powerful team ever assembled in ny's history... yah... while tj's blocking was suppose to be their strength but today ny's spikes were just simply out of their reach... yah... basically a one sided affair... not too interesting... whereas the gals finals turn out to be the highlight of this afternoon... jj has won ny against all odds... i believe no one would dare say jj did not deserve to win... they won the game with incredible defending and clever attacks... they have truely won as a team... there's not star player... everyone was a key player... and their cheerleaders... total respect for them... i've never seen a cheerleading crowd more organised as spirited as them.... it's impossible to describe... pple who were there would definitely understand wat i was saying...

went to eat jap food after the games... fung paid i guess... cos i left early.. hahaa... food was cheap lar... nothing much... wonder where they went after that... too bad i gotta attend coaching lesson... today's lesson's on spiking... we were taught wat to pay attention to when we teach ppl how to spike.... impt thing is that we know wat are the points to note... yah... i still need more practise in tossing of balls for the spiker... rather inconsistent...

today was supposed to be a slacking day... only coaching cse at night... but it was just so tiring... feel so drained now... cos gotta try all the different drills... tired tired tired.....

yesterday was a whole day of vball in tj... was there since 3 pluss till almost 8pm.... played set after set... game after game... but i think i'm just lagging behind everyone physically... really seems slow on the court no matter wat i do... maybe it's time to leave the court... but i still yearn for the chance to play in a competition.. not as a reserve but a main player... but that seems to be getting further and further... anyway.. i was really tired after training... by the time i got home... i could only lie on the bed and sleep...

today.. woke up really early... went to guan yin temple to pray with mum... well... i'm still spectical about the way she prays... really abit anyhow one... i think all she's looking for is some place where she could express her wishes and she does really care about the rites... as long as she can say wat she want to whoever wanna listen can liaozZ... hahaa...

today's mummy's day... hahaa.. went to changi village that hotel for buffet lunch... the food there not bad... but variety quite limited... maybe that's why the quality quite good... and their scallops like free one.. really alot... whahaa... eat till very fulll... now still bloated....

only just got home.... very tired... recap on yesterday... i went to play badminton in the afternoon at Kembagan CC... wah!! that CC really looks nice... got 7-11 and a cafe.. with nice cosy cushion seats... shiok... den got alot of activities going on... den upstairs got cooking lar.. singing lessons lar... den the gym has a tv to almost every treadmill and stationary bike... shiok rite?? that's a CC in a rich ppl's district.. everything just seems nicer den usual...

went back to tj after badminton... for training... quite surprised to see miss teo there.. yah.. she's there to help fung pick out the teams problem and improve as much as possible... yah.. and she did that quite successfully in the sense she really picked out a lot of problems... hahaa... she looks a little dumbfounded... yah... i left early cos i was really tired... so did really hear wat she said to them... guess shld help more or less lar.. haha

i woke up today with my whole body aching... yah... still aching now... went for MOE interview... only today den i know they were only considering me for the MOE teaching award... not the scholarship... hahaa... but nvm.. as long as they pay my school fees i happy liaozZ...interview by principal of NYJC and TKGS... and another MOE official... a bunch of scary women... they keep asking me to change to a degree with pure teaching subjects.. that means like study maths of science... i dunno why but i really against that idea... but now i'm glad i did that... studying pure will be boring more me i guess... and it will be harder to convince students to like a subject if u only study the academic aspect of it.. whereas engineering is the actual application of the subject... hahaa... think i haven screwed it up as bad as the USP one... we shall see...

coaching lessons are also tiring... today's service and tossing of balls.... actually very hard... i just cant to serve properly there... and my tossing of balls like super inaccurate and inconsistent.... need to have more practice... shall do it tml in tj...

nitezZ....

had coaching training today... all the way at presbyterian high school.. i think i like that school... it looks nice den any school i've been too... but i dunno abt the ppl there... anyway.. i was late hahaa... step into the class halfway thru the lesson... they were into the theories of coaching... firstly... what is volleyball? is a sport some rich american came up with in the late 1800s... yah.. den it went to canada.. den to japan 1908.... den to china in 1910... yah stuff liddat... and it seems volleyball used to be played with 10 pple.. and the ball was actually the inner lining of a basketball... makes it sounds a bit 2nd class rite?? yah...

den it comes to being a coach... wat is a coach? why be a coach? well... a coach is a teacher... and it's not just about the skills... it's a about the mental development, the physical development and the teamwork... yah... suddenly it seems like a lot of work... gotta read up a lot on the game, the psychology, the biomechanics... that's pretty much the theory part...

practical seems abit like a training session... how to organise a training... how shld training develop... yah stuff liddat... but i think i was kindda left out.. cos i din know anyone there... perhaps there was an intro session that i missed... but... yah... there were 3 grps of ppl... teachers, saf regs, players... i din know any of the players... and they keep to their clique... it was kindda hard for me to to mix also... that the most sianzZ part... hope friday will be better...

i just woke up a while ago and i'm going to go back to sleep very soon after i finish this blog.. i was really tired today... din sleep last nite was on the computer the whole time... playing game... then in the morning jio lisi go Klunch... very cheap only $5 sang from 11 to 2pm 2 of us only... cos no one else wanna go.... sing until seh... no more voice... but i still think it's quite worth it lot.. yah... tiring part 1... now...

after ktv.. i sent lisi home... den went to meet kaiyu & tenghui at bedok interchange.. cos we going to buy stuff for matt's stewardess fren to bring some stuff over for him.. we bought chicken rice paste... laksa paste... den many others.... den best of all... we bought a huge packet of fresh chillis... garlic & ginger... and a packet of chilli padi.... den off we went to kaiyu's house to make chilli... and i must confess... it's really really hot.... but still tastes good.. whahaa... another new dish on my menu... homemade hainanese chilli...

after that i sent tenghui home den i went to grandma's place for dinner... it's quite adangerous drive home.. cos i was getting sleepy... almost fell asleep at the junction... so in the end i wind down the windows and kept awake with the wind in my face... always works... suppose to have tuition one... but that jiaqin say wed & fri instead... pissed... but too tired to argue... so let it go.... den realise tml got coaching cse....

tired... tired tired..............................

went back to tj today for vball.. it has been awhile since i went back for training... quite a few old boys came back too... our main purpose was to play match with the current team... yah all was well until the 4th set when ron made a super ridiculous service error... we got the service over... but zai was so pissed he kicked the ball into the ceiling... one of the boards fell... well i think the error was ridiculous but the reaction to it was even more ridiculous.... worst still was while i was trying to tell zai that this was a small thing no need to flare... rubin was there claiming this is not a small thing.. it's big... super pissed with rubin... wat the hell does he want?? go lar go give the kids a piece of ur mind... wat for??? i got so pissed i lost control... i flared up.. starting shouting at him... think i scared quite a few ppl then... yah... ultimately i dun think it's up to him to react the way he did... say watever he wants or threatened to not come down for training anymore... haizZ... wat the hell....

remember when i said "the tj gals have a good chance of getting into the placings for Adiv this year and the guys no much chance... really have to pray, if dun have religion it's time to get one"?? yah... the gals were knocked out in the first round... cos they cracked... while the guys have a very very powerful religion called LADY LUCK... and she's been smiling very brightly on them since the start of the competitions... super easy groupings all the way... and they really peaked their performance today.... today's a very exciting day at CCAB... tj guys are into the finals... they have just beaten aj 3-2... a super super close affair... neck and neck all the way.... i just have to say they are just mentally very strong... that's wat won the game... it's not superior skills... maybe lucky play a few parts here and there... rather comical sometimes... those who were there would know... those who werent there, u missed possibly the most exciting match of the season... ridiculous refereeing thou... hahaa... total comedy... i'm totally impressed with their attitude today... they got back whenever they trailed and they just kept on fighting... but somehow i believe somewhere in them they are doing this for the gals too... they wanna win it for them too... yah... but yah.. super impressed.... nothing much to say... i guess many of the gals will be thinking if only they were thru to the finals too... well... if they had the spirit the guys had today... the championship would be theirs to take... saw eunice today... she was really excited when tj won... she'll always be a part of us... and her knees... wat's all those plaster for?? hahahaa... k lar... guess now we'll just have to stay tuned for the finals.. 11th May, Toa Payoh Stadium...... still dunno wat time yet...

today's shld be one of the funnest day recently... eileen, lisi, lihui and weifeng came my house to watch dvd... watched freaky friday... very funny... think weifeng's very funny too... den the other 3 always like bully her... haha... den i just sit there watch.. like watching 2 comedies going on... whahaa... before coming to my house we all met downstairs to eat dim sum while waiting for lihui.. she was slow... hahaa... after that somemore ordered canadian pizza to eat while watcing movie... these gals eat so much wun go fat one... metabolism rate damn high... not like me... hahaa... yah... order extra large hawaiian and meat lovers... managed to finish everything somemore... after the show i sent all of them home...

but that's not the end of the day... i met up with dear... den we went chinatown to meet her frens at kster... den sing for 2 hrs... hahaa... very long never go ktv liaozZ.. so quite shuang.. and somemore like quite cheap leh... think they got voucher or something... not even $20... and her frens started singing form 7pm... we left at 1230am... cheap rite?? but the system there not really wonderful lar.... screen sometimes can hang one... hahaaa...

i have MIA'd for sometime liaozZ... have been hermitising myself... it's a new word i came up with... hermitising-cooping oneself at home.... haha... yah have been at home for almost a week... lying on my bed most of the time... sleeping as if i'm hibernating... i'm really quite good at it.. haven been to watch the guys match didnt really attract me to it leh... tomolo one den see... a real match... they haven been lucky since the start of the competition... let's see how they size up against real opponents tml...

esther's birthday today... went to find her for lunch... she asked her fren along... but dunno why like very awkward... din talk much... just eat eat den leave liaozZ... precisely not the lunch i was looking for.. but maybe too tired din wanna interact... yah... shld be ba... hope she had something fun on her birthday...

went to NUS for medical after lunch... rather bo liaozZ check up.. height weight pressure urine x-ray... yah.. stuff liddat... went excursion at sheares after the checkup... zai & rubin brought me around... and taught me a trick to wash clothes.. cheapskates but i'll do it too.. hahaa...

still havent got over the fact that the gals are out... was wondering how many of them went home to cry their hearts our under their blankets... well i didnt... tears were welling up though... but all i did was stare at the celling... still feel sad... though not too sure if i was sad for them or sad for myself...

today's dear's birthday... brought her to bongo burger... wondering where it is?? it's a burger joint at night safari... really nice burgers only 2nd to billy bombers... quite ex for a fast food... but it's nice... realised there is a ben&jerry outlet there too... for ice-cream lovers, u can get ben&jerry's at the zoo & night safari... or somewhere near u at a major supermarket, though not as many flavours as the outlet... dinner was great.. nice atmosphere.. a little dark... but nice.. oh yah.. din feel any mosquitoes... lot's of tourists at night safari...

went cineleisure for movie.. watched Spanglish... liked the humour... like the actress Paz Vegas... shes just SOOOOooo attractive.. dear says she's nice too.. hahaa.. bought dear a garfield cushion from cineleisure... for her to hug at her office... still owe her a Mp3-player... gonna get it when the stock comes in at Sim Lim Square... hehee...

tml's gonna be a busy day... firstly... it's esther's bday.. but i still have no idea wat to get her or wat to do for her yet.. haha... den i have to go to NUS for medical checkup.... den i have tuition in the evening... whahaaa...

there was only one purpose for today.. to go watch the A gers win against AJ... they have lost their last match to JJ and i was hoping they would see the light... understand that they no longer have anything to lose... they need to win AJ and win it big to have a CHANCE to get into the second round... i thought they shld have came out of the last game being stronger... being more confident, no more holding back... i somemore wentto tj before CCAB to watch them warm up... they look fine... seems hyped up for the game.. i was happy to see them... i told eileen i wanted to talk to all of them before going to CCAB cos i knew i wun have a chance once we are there.. it will be for the coaches to do their job liaozZ... but now i regret.. guess i shld have said something cos it seems they still dunno wat they are playing for today...

if we say they played poorly on friday, then today would have to be a total disaster... today's match really made them look amateur.. yah.. that's how bad they were today... it seemed to me fung also gave up hope half thru the 2nd set... mentally they are just too weak... skills wise they are in no way poorer that aj... they just lose it as the game started... lihui felt something was wrong starting form the 1st set... so did i as i sat outside looking at them play... sometimes i wonder is there anything i could do if i were on the coaching bench... i would really like to give them a good scolding on the spot... make them wake up... but will it really work?? or will they just breakdown further?

after the match fung, hay and i had a talk with them... i really did know wat to say at first cos i was still bewildered about their performance.. in my eyes they are a quality team... much better den the guys in almost every aspect... although the guys got the easier teams in their group i still expect the gals to be able to qualify... but i was wrong... i gave them a piece of my mind after fung and hay made their points... i guessed i was rather harsh... but i would have be harsher... if not for their teary eyes... guess they are still too young to understand the heartache those coaching staff feel... if we dun care we wun bother coming back so often... if we dun care we wun be there at the matches hoping to see them put up their best performance...

they were tearing even before i said anything... in fact i angry to see them cry... i feel they dun deserve to cry and did not even have the right to cry... i told there straight in their faces that their performance today was not just poor, it's horrifying... and they do not have the right to cry less eileen... cos she did not give up thru'out the competition... i saw her gave up today.. not in herself.. but the players around her... her spikers have totally lost their confidence and fighting spirit... from the 1st dropshot that i saw her made.. i knew she gave up on them.. and that was the end of the game.... she has invested all her confidence in all those in the court with her.. but she failed drastically in that deal... not an ounce of fighting spirit was apparent...

although i scolded them... i really felt a crinching feeling in my chest... my heart really ached... to see them being bowled out the competition liddat.. not even putting up a fight... it just made me feel damn sad... guess i'll be feeling more of these if i really become a coach...

in my 3 yrs in tj... we have always be underachieving... in my 1st yr... we were knocked out in the first round despite being champions the yr before... 2nd yr we only managed 3rd but not many of us had much to regret cos we put up a great fight along the way, kindda like a redemption for the mistake in the 1st year.. in my last yr... we shld have gotten 1st... but i wasnt really much in that team anyway... i was mainly a bench warmer... i was never a first team player maybe i just wasnt good enough... the main reason why i'm back in tj so often is because i missed those days... those days when we were all fighting for something... not for personal glory but just to put of a good fight no matter what kind of opponents we face... that's all i was looking for...

it's been a few days since i blogged.. somehow the com wasnt avail for me... friday was really a sad day i guess... i saw tj gals lost... lost to jj again... at the hands of the same 2 gals that put them out of the competitions last yr.... really i think they could have won if they just played the way the usually play with us.... they were nervous... they looked nervous and move nervously... they are basically rooted to the floor... and they din take the chances they have to kill off the opponents... but credit to jj.. their moral was high and had very few mistakes... now the gals have one last match left for the 1st round.. they have to win it.. and win it big in order to advance to the next round... they face aj... undoubtedly the strongest in their group.... they really need to show championship wining quality if they were to go on... they need to go all out on attack... need to be fearless... and they MUST have CONFIDENCE in themselves... jiayou ba... Impossible is not an option....

had a very sickening day at NUS today... it's a very lousy interview session for me... think i haven blanked out as badly as today before.... super disgusting... said so much but i dun think i made any sense... seriuosly jialat lar... if they let me into the program it only means they think i have lots to improve... hahaa...

din blog yesterday... cant remember why... yesterday went to watch A Div, the guys are playing their 2nd match while the gals are having their first... the guys played much better compared to monday but they were also up against a weaker opponent... they still need to minimise alot of mistakes that they are making... the gals were like i said, more steady... but something was lacking from them... the fighting spirit... it doesnt seem that they have the mentality/urge to win less eileen and isabella... i hope i can see some hunger from them in the next match.... they'll really need it....

today went back tj to help training... kindda mimic'd jj's way of playing... din really think i did a very good job... kindda off today... but i think they understood wat they have to look out for liaozZ lar... we shall see on friday... still think they got chance to get thru....

today's the first day of the a div competitions... reach CCAB only a while before the guys match.. saw the other 2 teams in their group play... not much of a match... it seems their opponents today, MJ was their only worthy opponents in the first round... seems like their prayers are working for them... they shld be able to cruise thru to the 2nd round... but by then they better show improvement in their steadiness... their performance today... some would it's kindda stage fright, some blame it on the ball... i say it's just a poor performance...

also saw a match between aj & jj the 2 other teams in our gals grp... they are strong... aj has a powerful lineup... jj is pretty much unchanged from... but they are getting more accurate at sending the balls to the empty spots... as for aj... they are simply power pact... our gals... i believe they have a chance... cos they are a very equally distributed team... they have a tight defense and also a well varied attack.... just hope they can maintain their form...

haven been bloggin for a few days... first, the excuses.. friday night i was too tired.. den yesterday nite my sis and her frens were hogging onto all the comps.. so got none to use...

now to backdate on my happenings.. friday... went training... din really do much... just went back to play.. my knees are really starting to hurt more and more.. does that mean i'm getting heavier and heavier?? hope not... although i know just hoping doesnt help much but den.... :P

after training went tuition... hay drove me there on the way to meet yinglan for dinner... dunno why they suddenly meeting for dinner also... well.. i shall not probe further... tuition was okay... cos even though she still din do homework.. at least she din shut off during lesson... so still okay...

went home... sent dear home... den picked lisi up for supper... and later yanli too... den we went to rochor to eat "tao huay"... she finally agrees that it's better than the geylang one... but i dun mind the geylang one lar... geylang win with it's varieties on the menu... whereas rochor's only "tao huay".. kindda boring actually...

saturday... i was supposed to go tj to watch the gals play frenly against temasek poly... i could get up... decided i shld rest a little more for my psychometric test at MOE... I'm glad i did..the test was supposed to last from 1.30pm to 5pm... but it only started around 2.45pm.. den at 4.30pm it was only half time... luckily the latter tests werent timed and we could leave as soon as we finished... obviously i did i as fast i could lar... it's only questionnaires... irritating... luckily i met jincai at MOE.. he applied for teaching scholarship too... at least not so bored... the test really tedious lor... pretty much like SAT... not difficult... just that they give a lot of questions and very little time... irritating...

oh yah.. tj gals won 4 out of 5 set of the frenly.. think with this result they shld be all set and prepared for the championships... for the guys... it's time u get a religion if u dun have one...

today... woke up at noon only cos i was suppose to give tuition again.. yupzZ... i din give her any homework last lesson so i din expect much... my aim is to see her do her work... on den i can be sure she really understands the topic... she seems quite at ease with her maths today.. seems like she already noes wat to do... how to do... i assume that's cos she well awake... yah... i wonder how long she can keep up with this sort of attention... hahaa...

4e guys are actually out for lunch to celebrate silie's birthday.. but cos i was having tuition i couldnt go.. i told kaiyu i would be meeting them only after lunch... but he somehow got the wrong msg and tot i was joining them... still i couldnt make it of cos... after tuition i msg kaiyu only to find out he and tenghui have gone home to study... and when i called fuliang.. he's home too!!! ah man!! wat;s wrong with u guys.. hahaa... soon it will be my turn to mug... haha... wonder if i'll ever get use to mugging again.. haha...

haven been doing much these few days... pretty much just rot at home only lor... den go vball training.. tuition also din go... feeling less den half-hearted abt tuition liaozZ... dun think my cousin is appreciating my efforts to help her... somemore complain to her parents.. say i scold her, insult her... wat the hell... this is so disappointing..

these few vball trainings ended with a discussion for june holidays trip... deciding to go taiwan... gonna be alot of suggestions coming out... soon we will find out who's the spoilt brats and who's the mature ones... it's now a question of money... how much can they afford to pay... will they be able to get the $500 from school by getting the championship... i believe the girls are hopeful.. the guys.. think they will need alot of luck...

been out most of the day... went to dear's place to drive her da jie's car to pick her er jie out of hospital.... yah... was out with them most of the day... went yum cha for dim sum with dear, her er jie, er jie fu and si jie... think the har gao very nice... the prawn very big and fresh... yummy yummy... after that drove her er jie fu home den accompanied them to tampines shopping....

reach home 5plus... super tired... zZzz... just now cooked dinner... think it's nice... cos dear and sis finished everything.. hahaa.. even though i cooked quite a lot... :) hahaa...

this morning went to bright hill to pay respects to my grandma.. it's been 5yrs since she left... memories of her are still vivid... had a hard time trying to find parking there... but i was rather proud of myself being able to easily park into a small parallel slot outside the temple... hahaa... somemore my mum say the slot so small can go in or not... haha.. proved her wrong.. no prob at all.. :)

after that went tampines for lunch... okay okay only... nothing fantastic.. just went foodcourt... haha.. go all the way there just for food court... so dum rite?

just received a letter from PSC informing me that i was not shortlisted for their scholarships, but since i showed interest in teaching they have transfer me to MOE for further considerations... i was kindda disappointed i wasnt select even for an interview before they reject me... well... guess competition's too strong?? hope i can get something out of MOE... haha...
