2009-11-01T12:08:00.002+08:00

today.. missed 2 freekicks, and a penalty.. my goal drought is once again haunting me.. Wonder wads wrong ? is it because i got no confidence ? or just that im not cut out ot be a striker ? hehe first time i have taken a penalty in a proper match, well thx for abel for helping me get the spot, but disappointed everyone instead, hehe was so nervous dunno why, so maybe thats wad it feels to really take a penalty. Well i jus gotta take one step at a time, at least now i experienced it, and will take a better one next time, my hunger for goal is growing, i shall be patient.. for now, ill train, and train to be better, watch this space..

Slammed Down

2009-10-28T17:20:00.002+08:00

okay juz after blogging ytd after so many days or weeks, here i am blogging again, why ? Thats because today was such an eventful day, unlucky for me tho. Sch was at 8 today, forced myself outta bed, had usual breakfast and decided to ride to sch. Then in sch, was told that the lecturer was on MC.. wth la, woke up so early for nothing, and cant go back to sleep cos me and my classmates planning to go town to buy a present for another classmate. Well on the positive, at least was able to play RC in sch. Lol then when we were ready to go town, my fren suggust to me to put my laptop down at home, lol why did i thought of that and went home earlier.. sian
Okay at night i got work, so i tot to park at gwc and meet them in town, so here comes the highlight of the day ! It was raining, so entering the gwc carpark, the ground was so slippery.. juz like the ones at our void decks where even we wear shoes we could slip, wads more my bike is heavy.. so entered, and my bike started to skid arnd and wobble. Then it happened so fast, the bike slipped and slammed me down onto the ground along with it, worst it was towards the downside of a steep slope.. so next thing i know i was rolling afew rounds down the slope with my bike sliding down after me.. OUCH ! my body and heart was in pain, in the end, i got some bruises at my palm and hips, but my bike.. the fairings were pretty badly scratched on the floor, left mirror cracked, left handle bar tip broke.. So thankful that my bike could still operate, went town to meet my frens, bought the gifts, had so much time that we played pool, haha we all equally suck at it..

But still there was so much time left, decided to go home, went gwc get my bike and home i am, blogging after watching my Mvp Valentine, haha a nice show i must say, the story is nice, basketball looks realistic, romance was touching. okay now off to work, time to face the danger one more time !

Fitness !

2009-10-27T20:50:00.004+08:00

Okay finally blogging aft such a long time, recently been addicted to a new mmorpg game haha, Red Cliff Online, so did not feel like blogging. Well because of the game, my fitness is going down down down.. Last sat, had the Nike Human Race 10km, because of the game, lol the entire week before it i did not run at all. Eventually, the race i took an hour and half, walked for like 2km as well..

So here now, im gonna come up with my fitness plan !
Here goes, sat sun is soccer n frens day, so its out. after 2 days of soccer, mon gotto rest my legs, but if no injuries whatsoever, gym is fine after sch. Tues sch lasts the entire day, but the night is free, so i will jog. wed will be gg gym, before work. Then thurs, since sch starts at 10, i will practise waking up early and run before sch. finally fri, will be gg gym, as well as some light jogging. haha sounds rather crazy man. so ill have one day for rest, either on mon or wed.

Sat Sun - Soccer
Mon - Gym/ rest
Tues - Night running
Wed - Gym/ rest
Thurs Morning running
Fri - Gym + light running

My plan to achieve greatness haha.

Today during my boring tiring tuesday sch, i had a rather fun art lesson, my lecturer gave us an assignment to do. We are suppose to use our weaker hands to sketch out 15 vehicles using pen, can be real or can be fantasy. Then out of the 15 our lecturer will choose one for us to draw out a detailed piece of it, including shading and stuffs. haha so here below are the sketchs i did, the one circled out was the chosen one. I have not done the final piece yet, but there was some time left and roughly sketched out the spaceship.

haha check out my motocycle at top right !

Match

2009-10-04T00:25:00.003+08:00

Finally blogging again after some time, okay today had a match with nat's friend's team, the score was 2-2, goals from wilson and syakir. After a week of hot humid weather, today was an opposite, it was cold and rainy. Overall, the opponents were good, they pass well and each one of em seems to be good with the ball, however after gg 2-0 down, the come back kings were at it again, fighting back to level with a good team. The highlight of the day was shihan's red card along with the opponent no.9, after no.9 could not handle weijie's trademarks and fell into his mind game, no.9 slapped weijie, and shihan as brother as ever chiong at no.9 giving him a flying kick. I was actually outside resting and drinking water, only realised somethings happened when No.9 slapped weijie, fengyuan let out his war cry.. " CCB!!" and chiong at him as well, but shihan was faster. In the end both sides managed to settle it and game plays on with shihan and no.9 out of the game.
Okay, first time i lasted the whole game with the black adipure, it hurts. Wasn't playing well almost the whole game, and had many injuries to add to my woe.

okay so thats about it, dun really know wad to blog anyway hehe.

Crazy day

2009-09-24T01:26:00.003+08:00

23th sept is a crazy day.

First of all, i woke up at 9 plus just to go to the registration of the Nike Human Race 2009. All along i felt it was a stupid famous race and knew it will be crowded with idiots cos its only 10km, but dunno why, since i had nothing to do till work at night, i decided to join vic jingyang and chum to register. Vic came to my house at 10 plus and we rode on my bike to town, wisma where it was held. After finally finding a car park after gg 2 rounds round town, there was no more slots.. and since we were rushing to queue up, i parked illegally beside the slots, which then later ill regret it so much.

Okay, then arriving at wisma, to our horror, the queue was so long, the weather was so hot, but still lucky we were not too late, cos only 500 slots were available, so the nike staff gave out number stickers to each one queing up. haha we were 456, but this also means a hell of waiting time. After like an hour, the queue did not moved much at all, so we decided to go city hall for dim sum buffet lunch, lol so random la.

Took the mrt with em to city hall, we finally found the restaurant. Then actually vic told us it was 9.80 per person for the buffet, but turn out 12 plus. Okay so we still went, and when we finally rdy to order, the waitress came with some nuts and tea, i tot it was normal and start eating then nuts and drink the tea, but then the waitress said 12 plus was not inclusive of service charge and stuffs, e.g. the nuts and tea...
haha but then we ordered lots of food man, but since the menu was in chi, we ordered afew not to our taste and had fun forcing it into our mouths haha. Overall the food was nice, but in the end each one of us gotta pay like 17 bucks.. got cheated.

After that went back, and like 3 plus, altho the queue was much shorter, still gotta wait very long, haha then we went to heeran Fourskins where chum bought his red shoes, hmmm saw some shirts and shorts which i like, and since i juz got my pay at midnight, maybe one day gg down to check it out again. In the end at 5.30, we were so close alr, and juz nice their system went down. But wasn't a bad thing, cos they ask to take down our particulars and pay for the run first, then call us again to register, and it went so much faster.

Okay then gonna go work, after sending vic to np for his futsal, and at my bike, there was the long slim of paper clipped to my tank, and the lovely number on it was $25. Haha and one more thing, i forgotten to take out my cashcard, and those thieves did not missed the chance. Finally at work, haha quite interesting as well, recently we have some new staffs transferred to grand from vivo cos of staff shortage and cos our new managers are frm vivo as well. Since then gv grand has been split into 2 groups, the grand staff and the vivo staff, okay so im kinda in the grand staff but for me at work always juz been my emo self, but the 2 groups dun see eye 2 eye, and finally a arguement broke out. haha the funny thing was that during the arguement during break, i was relaxing outside the garden reading newspaper. then my colleague who argued with the vivo staffs wanted to take a breathe and went out to the garden, haha then he told me after looking at me in my relax pose reading the newspaper, all his anger cooled off alr, lol. so then after work rode home, and now blogging.

I wanna watch ugly truth, inglorious bastards, phobia2...

broken

2009-09-16T14:49:00.002+08:00

last night, after chilling at abel's place after work, was sending tian home, on the AYE, suddenly my bike loses its power, the speed went down and down till like 30, the engine was making dying sounds, and air suddenly was filled with a burning smell. I worried and stop by the side, after trying to figure out wads the prob for a while, i gave up and pushed the bike along the aye, then managed to contact syakir, haha he knows alot man, but then told me wad could be the problem, did not solve the problem.
Lucky for me i was at dover ite, so was near, and rode at 30km/h to the Caltex near my hse, but still problem not solved, even this kind indian employee from caltex tried to help but to no use, so we decided, tian cabbed home, and i rode home at 30km/h.

When home bathed, and went online, chat with syakir abt it, it was like almost 5am, and then, i had a car practical in 4 hours time, put it on try-sell for any lucky, and alarm at 8am, since bike is down, journey there will be much longer. Haha in the end i could not wake up, and thought.. damm lost 60 bucks like that, but just now i check my account, there was 60 bucks more ! haha which means try-sell successful ! haha lucky man, and then called the workshop, and they will be bringing my bike back to check it out, hopefully not too pricy and get it back asap man.
So now off to shihan house to gym and work at night, by bus..

happy birthday reuben !

2009-09-15T12:46:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday man reuben ! today his 18th, haha wish him all the best for his final year as well as soccer by getting more assists haha, hopefully to me. Okay so we planning to celebrate at T3 this fri, can celebrate shihan's new bike, as well as tian's birthday, maybe weijie's too since his at sweden, being at the airport will be nearest to him haha.

Okay today woke up at 10am, finally was able to push myself to go jogging. Start off my jogging routine, i decided to time my 2.4 today, and it was 12mins 22secs, dun think it was good enough, and i was almost dying. This shows how my fitness has dropped so much since the sundown. So now its time to train, tues wed and thurs ill jog in the morning, and maybe 2 - 3 days of the week ill go gym as well. haha fri and mon is to rest from and for sat sun soccer.
okay so now gonna leave for jurong east swimming complex, gonna chill with abel tian and shihan, haha thx to shihan's tiredness, got time to blog.

So my routine for at least till 1 more month, morning excercise, afternoon chill with friends, aka gym, swim, shihan's hse haha, and finally at night work work work, $$$.

Abel showed me this video of this amazing guy doing a M.J remix man, really amazing, here it is. enjoy http://sg.video.yahoo.com/watch/5854827/15317037

Goal !

2009-09-13T16:41:00.000+08:00

Haha finally man, i got a new record LOL, first season of ESPZen div 8, only 1 goal, 2nd season div 5, 2 goals, 3rd season, there was alot of hope when i scored 2 goals on the 1st game, but suddenly here comes the drought again, and i had not scored a goal since.
There are altogether 14 games a season because of only 8 teams in one div, so after 9 games not scoring, my hopes of me beating my alr a joke record for a striker was diminishing. BUT, with 4 games left, i finally break my record haha. i was pleased with the my goal as well, i received a pass by reuben from the left back position, i turned and see there was only one def to beat, haha so i did a feint and OLE'ed him ! then outside the penalty area, decided to not waste time and fired a shot low towards the left, lucky for me althou the ball was in reach from the keeper, he had no gloves and it slipped under his hands.

haha so thats all, exciting match with a score line of 6-5, congrats to Dan for his 4 goals, haha now his my target to reach.

2009-09-11T14:41:00.002+08:00

hehe wad a stupid week, asked faith for match, then they say commonwealth, then i told em no, but then they ask me juz play la, so i ask my mates again, and okay, then now they come say cancelled. haiz.. was looking forward to taking those ppl out man.
okay today my 3rd car practical, it was the same instructor as ytd, haha he was shock because i was bringing my helmet with me. So in the car, the instructor said, "okay today we shall go out to the road", then i stunned luh, wtf, my 3rd lesson go road alr. After explaining wad to do, i took the wheel, started off really scared and nervous la, but after a while i got the hang and was fun man, gg up to 4th gear and stuffs.
after gg home, felt super sian because of all the msg'ing and stuffs, tired and sian so in the end cancelled the whole thing, now time to rest, watch naruto haha.

Number 9

2009-09-08T00:10:00.002+08:00

haha so far holidays i have been very busy, therefore no time or even mood to blog. Well last week i worked almost all the week days, but it was fun with shihan shaffiee and akid, haha we 4 at the night shift whole week. Then the stupid manager still haven call syakir and tian for interview, i cant wait for em to join, it will be fun. well this week will be work again, only thing keeping me gg is the thought of how much my pay will be man haha.

today, went to get 2t oil for my bike, lol so past few days actually the bike was warning me about the oil, there was this light that will come on once and twice, i mistaken it for the fuel and since my fuel was enough, i tot it was some minor problem, but suddenly ytd the light was on all the way, suddenly i realised it was the oil. Damm felt kinda stupid, hopefully my bike did not suffer any problems, im sorry !
So after topping up the oil, cleaned my bike here and there, and went of to bbdc for my first car prac ! haha it felt so nostaglic, i was kinda lost where to go, juz like the first time i went for my bike prac. finally i found my way with the help of the kind bbdc instructors. So my instructor look kind and friendly, quickly tell me about the car's layout and basic stuffs, and finally its time to drive ! haha starting off with the half clutch moving forward and reversing, after kinda gotten the hang of it, my instructor took me to the circuit and asked me to go rounds, haha at first was scary, but soon i got it, followed by gear 2, haha it was fun.
Conclusion i would say actually car it not as easy to move around as bike, because the car is big, u have to be careful not to hit other cars or curbs etc.

Okay after dunno how many years in benedetto, think around 4 years, i have been number 22, haha thats why they give me kaka as nickname. The funny thing is 7 had always been my fav number, then now finally i can take it, but suddenly i like 9 too, lol then could not decide, i heard nison wanted 7, so think it suits him la, so ill take 9. haha then now, im nine ! haha a note my very first number for my soccer jsy is 9 too, because i idolise the phenomenon ronaldo from Brasil.

First day

2009-08-24T21:21:00.000+08:00

Well its first day of the holiday ! and guess wad happened, i was woken up by a phone call, it was kean wai telling me theres group meeting at 10. It was ten at the time alr but since i sch is less than 3 mins haha, and lecturers been saying our project is way behind time, so decided to join the group.

Well i thought i was the latest, but when i got there only 3 out of 5 was there, and the whole session just brainstorming ideas and trying to decide on our game mechanics. haha wads positive was i felt i contributed during the meeting, at least now im helping out somehow.

After that went shihan's place to gym, before that fetch him from anchorrage to ABC market to enjoy true taste of hokkien mee, shiok ah, but then had the worst durian ice kachang ever. Lucky day for me, was close to accident 2 times because of heavy traffic, and hazzards. But the stupid parking system at the market cant detect my cash card, so paiseh sia. well then gym went quite well and then syakir came, then went swimming ! I swam alot of laps man, today's exercise felt good.

haha now the highlight of the day, at shihan's place, weijie and tianhang soon joined us. We felt bored, so we played this application on some website, which can find celebrities whose faces are similar to our pics. Shihan's main objective is to see rain or jay chou with me.. but turned out for me was park ji sung, well cant help.. but then my pic was abit blur and so took a better one, haha turns out i look like brad pit !! nice. Syakir's one was spiderman guy, haha toby macguire. cool. haha now so shihan ! hahaha his turns out to be JOHN CHO !! the korean lead in Harold & Kumar !!! HAHAHAHAHAH we all laugh our arses off. Weijie's one was Nicholas Tse man, and tian's one was andy lau, all nice, haha shihan.. soon we tried yisheng's pic, and turn out he got jay chou !! haha

Expressway curse

2009-08-23T17:57:00.000+08:00

Its the holidays ! haha althou during it i got lotsa grp projects to do, an interview with lecturers and assignments to hand in, but still a break from sch is great. So wads gonna happen now ? its time to start training man, for soccer, for marathon, for fitness. Time to earn more money as well, althou now working have not been as fun as before due to all the managerial changes and stuffs. So let me look forward to the holidays..

Okay now about the past, its been a week since gotten my bike, and bee loving it since. haha okay today my mum finally found out abt the bike ! her reaction wasnt so bad, but then an extra worry for her, ill be a safe rider. Now about sat soccer, well we started well, and i was on target during the first matches, but then lost after a few rds, and since my team been on the losing streak, so unfortunate man because we played quite well, haha and ytd was the few times we played with great discipline. haha sat was pillion day for me, pillon shihan to soccer, after soccer pillion glenn home, went back holland lunch with mates, then head to shihan hse, pillion weijie, after swimming at shihan hse, pillion tianhang home, then went back and pillion shihan to my hse where i changed up and then pillion shihan to abel hse, and finally after watching soccer pillion shihan home in dangerous conditions man. haha its was raining heavily and was dark, could hardly see man, lucky its was pass 12 so expressway was kinda empty.

The FINALE !! the curse of the expressway ! damm i think im jinx on expressway, on the 2nd day i got bike i missed the exit, wanna U turn by exiting the next but was a one way to the same wrong direction, so i went further, then i had to exit at the next one and finally a u turn. ytd sending shihan home at night, accidentally exit from expressway and had to take longer route. and today for soccer, it was all the way at meridian JC, at tampiness, the longest journey for me so far but lucky the route there was easy, PIE all the way to the east and switch to TPE, and exit at IKEA, here comes the curse again, where i forgotten the exit number, so was looking for IKEA, too bad when i saw it, i missed the exit alr.. Then after soccer, after a smooth trip back to clementi, i wanted to go from AYE back to dover, but then i went the wrong direction to the jurong side.. haiz.. so gotto exit at west coast and find a way back to AYE to the right direction. haha wads lucky was just nice i reached home then it rained, so now safe and sound at home, awaiting holidays.

GIRL FRIEND !!

The darkness before dawn

2009-08-11T20:18:00.000+08:00

Well the long awaited sem break holidays is coming, but then, before there is the light from dawn, there will be darkness. In this darkness, im in need of a beacon of light, to guide me thru it..
even now im wasting my time blogging, but i guess i have been sleeping for too long. I cant master any motivation to even start on my assignments, whats more they are not ordinary simple assignments. hehe so this is time when everything seems to be going bad for me aye ? The nasty impatience for a bike, not fulfilling expectations with the soccer ball, horde of assignments swarming in.
COME ON !! wake up wake up wake up man.

Patience

2009-08-07T18:00:00.000+08:00

i am suffering man, its has only been 4 days since getting license, but my eagerness to ride is getting onto me. I asked my dad, he said see how, but when is it gonna be ?? Day by day i been thinking about it, day by day i try to spent more time at home, hopefully my dad will bring me to the bike shop. But.. untill today, the wait continues..
Had a good short chat with syakir in the afternoon, hah congrats to him for getting his bike alr man, by tmr his a free man. How much i envy.. syakir.. reuben.. even shihan, has alr gotten their bikes. Although im very much relax about it, but inside of me im cant help but feel uncomfortable.
Today, it may sound stupid but was so depressed man, lucky syakir chat with me and by watching anime, got over it. Today aft class i went home immediately, there was hope when i reached home, at 12, my dad was alr back, so i thought it will be perfect for him to bring me to the bike shop man. But till 3 plus it was like so long, then he went out.. turn out he went to buy some computer stuff and since being back, been so engrossed in it.
"sigh" maybe it jus because my relationship with my family has been scarred since young, thats why cant connect with em. Well time to cheer up, i still got my bros from nafc, some aft reading this or my msn pm will start lecturing me with cheerful words haha, but thats wad friends are for, and gonna play soccer, as usual the best medicine for my depression.
hmmm soccer and friends, thats can give me patience till the day i die man.

Cheers.

TUESDAY

2009-08-07T09:32:00.003+08:00

Okay this post was done on tues, but blogger got some prob and could not upload pics so delayed till now. so its been a day since getting my license, well instead of being happy and excited, im starting to feel empty, kinda lost. haha gotta be because after months of riding and riding and riding, suddenly stop, not used to it yet man. Whats more is i dun wanna get used to it man, i wanna get my 1st bike asap haha, but its all up to my dad. When i asked him, he said "see how, maybe, a 2nd hand." Seems that he most likely getting me one but no idea when. Anyways, ill still start saving up to prepare for the worst scenario.
Okay so today was stupid man, when to sch and the whole day no lecture whatsoever, and no one got thumbdrive to transfer maya into my com so i still cant start, so from 8 till 2 i was watching Hajime no Ippo, haha its a nice anime man, thx to shihan for intro. Its kinda like Slam Dunk but the main char instead is a nerdy innocent guy who juz loves to box.
Okay the highlight of the day would be art, as always for tues. Unfortunately life drawing model is a guy again, thx to the boring day, did not have much mood to draw, only the final pose i felt i drew well, so thats about it for my day. Below will be the only piece i like today and the long awaited female drawing !!

A new rider is born

2009-08-03T21:51:00.000+08:00

Class 2B license, completed !! haha cant deny was feeling nervy last night, woke up at 5.45am today haha, set my alarm at 6, wanted went back to sleep till 6 but then shihan surprisingly called to wake me up haha, thx for the effort man knowing its especially rare for u to be so early.
haha tried blogging about the entire process today but too lazy, so summarised, ALOT of stupid waiting time, wait to be tested, wait for results, wait to make license. haha but still glad i made it, and congrats to my bro syakir ! haha 10 pts tgt we 3 same mistakes. Okay so went his house chill abit, and decided to head down to shihan's place for a swim, haha my 3rd day in a row swimming.
Okay so now riding is down, and i juz asked my father about getting a bike, well he said "see how... maybe... 2nd hand" ?? haha sounds more positive so im keeping my fingers crossed and hope it comes asap man. Now for the next step, Class 3 license, here i come.

Okay started watching this new anime shihan recommended, haha a boxing anime. lol shihan said i was abit familiar to the main char, and aft 1st epi, i guess alittle ? haha, there was this part he said to himself, "why am i so shy ? if only i were more outgoing.."

Life drawing

2009-07-28T22:33:00.004+08:00

Okay today was late for lesson, and as usual class was hell boring, all i did was blog my previous post lol, then aft lunch went home to print my assignment and took papers for art class at 2.
Surprise surprise the life drawing model today is a guy ! omg man dunno why felt so weird, but once the drawing started, was all focus at drawing, kinda fun using charcoal to draw today because shading becomes alot easier.
Well aftter art can be bothered to stay till 6 so i went home early. dinner finally got time go my grandma's place again, and the food was great as always haha.

What is happening ?

2009-07-27T09:44:00.005+08:00

haha dunno whether to laugh or be angry with myself, failed 8.01 for the 3rd time, because of immediate failure again.. Okay lets start with the 1st attempt, either the instructor was very strict or i was careless, got 38 demerit pts therefore failing, most of them are from wobbling. After which i practiced more and went for the 2nd try, got only 6 pts man, and heres the comedy, i fell off the plank, and worst thing was aft the whole assessment, the instructor tot it was a waste to fail with 6 pts and gave me 3 chances.. and i blew it all, how did that happen ?
The 3rd was stupid as well, although did not check blind spots for afew moments i still got 18pts which was juz nice the passing, but i almost fell off the bike aft my crank aft having difficulty stopping.
So today, tonight will be my last chance to pass it before my tp, if not tp cancelled. with riding today, ill be riding for 5 days straight, and more than 2 hours every day, haha more than reuben alr.

Okay thats all for riding, now soccer, sat soccer was great, felt rly agile was very active thru out the day. Then its sunday soccer, finally my jack purcell started act and wearing it for riding for days and afew knocks on sat, my toes and foot started to hurt. Match started and we played well against the foreign side, pirates, but still lost the game. Overall i was unhappy with my performance, screwing up 2-3 good chances, 2 which i mis kicked it badly.

Okay so at least my weekend ended great, thats because i watched liverpool live ! liverpool asia tour in singapore, although our national team got trashed 5-0, but its liverpool man.
The 1st half was kinda boring but a few good plays not only by liverpool but singapore as well. 2nd half was a joy to behold, 4 goals at my side, the future star nemeth, and watching torres's movement in the box was amazing man, thats how he score all his headers and tap in, he got to the ball 1st.
So here is a long post aft not blogging for long, pics and videos from the stadium.

You'll never walk alone

True Courage

2009-07-13T12:20:00.003+08:00

"When a hunter charge fearlessly towards a tiger, that is not courage but ignorance towards the danger, instead when the hunter uses intellect to set a trap to subdue the tiger, that is true courage because on knowing the danger ahead and still confront it."

haha i was bored and got nothing to blog about, thought this kinda makes sense. Well tonight taking my 7.01 with syakir, and shihan who is taking his RR. Good luck for all 3 of us, shihan for his tp this wed, haha think he should have no problem, juz that good luck to him waking up.

No Boundaries

2009-06-30T00:14:00.002+08:00

Seconds, hours, so many days
you know what you want but how long can you wait
every moment lasts forever
when you feel you've lost your way

and what if my chances were already gone
i started beleiving that i could be wrong
but you gave me one good reason
to fight and never walk away
so here i am still holding on

with every step you climb another mountain
every breath its harder to beleive
you'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
to get to that one place
when you think the road is going no where
just when you almost gave up on your dreams
they take you by the hand
and show you that you can
there are no boundaries
there are no boundaries

i fought to the limit to stand on the edge
what if today is as good as it gets
dont know where the futures heading
but nothings gonna bring me down

jummped every bridge
run every line
i risk being safe
i always knew why, i always knew why
so here i am still holding on

with every step you climb another mountain
every breath its harder to beleive
you'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
to get to that one place
when you think the road is going no where
just when you almost gave up on your dreams
they take you by the hand
and show you that you can

you can go higher
you can go deeper
there are no boundaries
above and beneath you
break every rule 'cause theres nothing between you and your dreams

with every step you climb another mountain
every breath its harder to beleive
you'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
to get to that one place
when you think the road is going no where
just when you almost gave up on your dreams
they take you by the hand
and show you that you can

there are no boundaries
there are no boundaries
there are no boundaries
no boundaries
yeah, there are no boundaries

Sang by Adam Lambert/ Kris Allen
Lyrics by Kara Dioguardi

This is the American idol final song, which i felt that the lyrics is very meaningful, and no offense to Kris Allen but the way Adam Lambert sang it made it so inspirational. Would like to dedicate this music and lyrics to my friends out there who is feeling lost, losing hope, giving up. YOU CAN DO IT MAN ! There are no boundaries.

unhappy ending.

So what an interesting holiday come to an end.
Unfortunately, the last day of holiday ended in a wrong note. Do not really feel like blogging, but nevertheless will sum up my hols.
This hols, was unlike any other i had so far during poly, i felt fit and busy. Every week, gym, swim,cycle, work, play. thanks to the shihan, im able to cycle to his house almost like 3 days a week which is only at queensway. Then with him guiding me in gym, i feel that my body is in pretty good shape. After gym or soccer, swimming at his house too to cool down, when the sun's out, can sun tan. okay and i have been cycling very often as my means of transport, feel like and wanna save on my ez link, all for BIKE. Then work has been normal, only that been working more with shihan, not so boring at work now. Finally as usual soccer on weekends.

Operation Runner

2009-06-13T21:36:00.002+08:00

Okay man, i just argued with my dad over staying over at shihan's house..
haiz.. sometimes i rly cant stand my family man, i rly feel like leaving, i just cant communicate with em.
After which i suddenly dun wanna ask my dad to buy a bike for me after i get my license, but instead i wanna use my own money to buy, like that ill treasure it more, i can learn to save money, and i dun wanna rely on em.

Okay lets see how the plan goes.. roughly i wanna get a 2nd hand runner, i think at most will be 4k including insurance. So since im practically broke now, i got to come up with 4k. Work, hmm not including holidays, ill be working about 2 times a week, roughly 6hrs a day, so with my current pay, ill get like 25 a day, so 50 a week, thus 200 a month, that will be my earnings. Now my savings, my allowance is 50 a week, lets see how much would i spent a week, okay sat will be hanging out with my frens so 10 bucks for the weekend. then i think ill stick to 10bucks for school, maybe infuture i can try not to spent at all. A good nice breakfast at home to last thru the day, and dinner at my grandma. haha sometimes i can even not spent a cent a day. i can cut down on my travelling fees by cycling, but since im walking to school its travelling fees are very low. okay so with 30 left a week, a month of savings will be 120, so althogether ill save 320 bucks a month, so if my plan goes smoothly, it will take me 12 and a half months.
Wow thats very long, haha by the time i get the bike, soon ill be able to get my class 2a license. maybe during school hols ill work more. and hopefully my course dun need alot of stuffs need payment. So good luck to my bike plan.

Our play was quite good, but the opponents were not weak either, but haha a corner from me and Bryan broke the deadlock. Well 2nd half started but then a arguement with the ref and Bryan got sent off, at followed by a fight almost broke out when Bryan din keep his opinions to himself at the side. Okay in the 2nd half, i had 2 chances to score man, but blew it both, both was 1 on 1 situation.. haha the keeper was kinda big and he covered well, could not see well. the 1st one i cut the keeper to the left but suddenly felt so tired and the it was on my weaker foot, but managed all my strength to swipe the ball at goal, but was too weak and the keeper was able to get back in time to save..damm haha the 2nd time i juz tired to shoot but straight to the keeper, haiz.. need to work more on my finishing..
Okay at least i had a moment of magic where i stole the ball at midfield, then did a 360 and stun 2-3 opponents arnd me, haha then a sweet through ball to syakir. Nice :D
Finally the last unfortunate event of the day, had dinner with syakir and abel at cck Lot1, but when i reach clementi mrt, realised i left my umbrella at Food culture.. haiz.. .so unfortunate.. haha

A series of unfortunate events.

2009-06-07T11:19:00.002+08:00

Haha okay its the end of the week, so far this week has been one of my most unfortunate weeks of the year man. Lets start with the worst haha.

Monday.
After sundown marathon, my legs were in pretty bad shape, but still i manged to bring myself out of bed and went to sch, in the morning, it was alright although struggling to move around. Okay so here when it all started, lunch at FC4. I had a baked rice for the 1st time at the usually awesome western stall, but then it turns out.. i dunno if its juz me and my fatigue, but the thick layer of cheese and more cheese inside make me sick. After which lesson at business blk, i felt nauseous and felt like puking. When home and slept, after dinner at night, i got a fever, and it was so bad man, could not sleep properly because i felt so cold which u know, its so warm! Slept without aircon and fully covered, i was perspiring more than while playing soccer.. In the end my mum brought me some panadols in which i give up my fight against it and went back to sleep.

Tuesday.
Lol woke up in the morning, did not go school, i felt so much better, but since i got a presentation today i had to go get a MC, haha sorry kean wai and BARCODE for not being there. Okay all went pretty well, had a good lunch and went to clementi polyclinic, after the consultation, the doctor prescribe to me some medication and MC. When i went to collect it, damm.. its was panadol...

Wednesday.
Not rly much, but okay wanted to skip school again, but my mum was at home and so she woke me up and i had to go school.. boring 2 hours.. haha then went for gems, lol Dawn and Qilin skipped again, because of gems test. Then at went 5 went off to work, damm was working at candy bar, all the cleaning work to do.. had problems moving around as well because of my blisters.. then went home, haha no cab sadly..

Thursday.
Haha thurs lesson was alright, jus handed up our concept art and with kean wai, went for lunch. LOL this time no more baked rice man, instead had chicken chop, NICE. okay then we were suppose to rent vid cameras and microphones for our audio assignment, we went to the place at 12.30, then this indian was like so rude, started lecturing us about the correct times to rent and to collect the stuffs. haha kean wai was like wanted to punch the shit out of him.

Friday.
Okay friday lesson was boring as usual, this time we went back at 12, class suppose to end at 11 but the stupud lecture ended it so late. followed my another lecturer giving extra talk.. haha was telling kean wai, wad if we reach there, the indian's watch faster than ours, or got alot of people renting so no time for ours. Haha when we reach there, wow i was so right. our watch was 11.55, the clock inside was 12.01, haha and it was so crowded inside.. maybe i should go bet on soccer. Now no choice had to go back to sch and rent it during hols.

Saturday.
Friday night, went to support syakir with shihan and abel at sg idol, turns out, syakir suppose to take his queue number, but then after wasting so much time there chilling instead of taking it, no more ! we had to wait till morning 7am for the new stock.. in the end syakir's queue become so long... but nvm, had a fun time.
Okay no sleep at all, went for match in the afternoon, although started off well scoring a goal, and at the start of the 2nd half assist one. and then here it come, i was dribbling against this def, then suddenly one huge ang moh fellow, aka the "train" came and knock me, then i K.O.. woke up at the sidelines, nose bleeding and all.. at 1st could not remember anything about the match.. afterwards was told when the guy knocked me, i flew face 1st into the def infront, and then the one behind followed thru and squashed my head, bouncing on my head as how reuben described.. Evident from the bruise at my left eye and nose and a very pain one at the back of my head. then had a heahache and knock out at home.

Sunday.
Its sunday ! hope all will be better today, may i score more goals in match l8r and be injury free haha !
and congrats to syakir for making it pass the 1st round of sg idol !

MISERY !!! im feeling so shit man, its been a long long time since i felt this way. i feel so cold.. so weak.. so lonely.. Argh.. i feel like puking..
Come on come on come on man, be strong ! i dun wanna eat panadol man.. althou i think my mum juz secretly put it in my drink because it tastes weird.. zz

The after effects..

2009-06-01T17:04:00.002+08:00

If u see me in sch, u will probably only understand half of wad im gg thru now..
Even now, im having difficulties blogging, but dunno why, gotta release all my miseries somewhere. A cup of herbal tea and here i go..

In the morning, the alarm rang at 9, it was alright waking up, but, i could not get out of my bed. My body seems like a truck and my legs dun seem to be responding. Still i finally pushed on and got off, then off to the shower. At least this shower wasn't half as bad as ytd, but the blisters were still hurting.
Finally 9.45, after breakfast and packing, off i go to sch. My legs were not any better than ytd, so by the time i reach class, was perspiring partly due to the sun and the amount of effort to even walk to sch.. Then class went pretty boring as usual. Chatted with jonathan abt our races, haha he finished arnd 6 hrs, nice work by him, and he told me i could buy socks at the starting point, OMG ! why din i buy em man, i felt so dumb. okay then its lunch !
haha lunch din turn out too well, for the infomation, the worst thing i can do now is to go downstairs because it hurts so bad, and my frens joked abt my weird way of gg downstairs. Me and my frens adam and kean wai went to fc 4, koufu. Haha the journey there was worst than a soccer game, but the delicious western food were my motivation haha. Okay, i have tried their chicken chop, so was thinking of sth diff, saw the baked rice on the menu and looks kinda tempting, so i ordered it, never did i know it tastes quite sick, there was a thick layer of cheese over it, and the smell juz made me nauseus, after forcing 3/4 of it down i could not take it anymore. Maybe because i was not feeling well that it turned out disgusting for me.
Then we went for audio class at buisness blk. As the time goes by, i felt worst, the air con at full blast was not of any help. Finally the final hr, i felt like puking man, worst feeling ever, and i felt feverish as well. so we left early after finalising on our assignment plans.
Haha, then the trip back, i think i made a record of longest time taken to walk up the slopes of dover rise. I dunno why but im having stitches whenever i walk, ??? weird & pain.. Finally back at home, i straight away lied on the sofa for rest, and then using my final strength to make a cup of herbal tea, washup, set up my laptop, and now.. blogging. haha now gonna back to sleep. hopefully ill feel better aftwards.

Greatest achievement

2009-05-31T20:25:00.004+08:00

i wonder, why the hell did i sign up for this run man. Thats was my thoughts thru out the run., but after it, i somehow felt satisfied, after all i did not give up. Wanna thanks abel shihan and syakir for being there for me man, if not i would have been kinda lonely, althou during the race i was, but they were my goal and motivation to push myself. Thats wad brothers are for man.
Now about the race, it started great, i kept my pace for like till 15km, surviving the long airport road.. hahah at 1st i was wondering why i see those look super fit guys stoping for drinks at the 1st few stations, but l8r i realised why. haha im suppose to pace myself by jogging and resting, it is insane to be jogging the entire 42km.. well its not too late when the "forgot bring socks" thing takes effect. Haha can feel it when blisters starts forming. Then the blisters started to get worse and then can feel it bleeding. The pain was so much man, till as time pass i was numb to it, or maybe i was already in so much pain that it felt nothing. My knees and ankle was aching so badly, and sometimes i even had stitches..
Finally the last 12km, after seeing the 30km board, i felt relieved, but... the next 12km was like the longest time of my life.. as i see each km board pass me was like so motivating yet depressing, because although im 1km into finishing the race, 1km felt like 10km..
When there is like 5km left, it was like 6:45 i think and sun is rising alr. Then at the final km, i pushed on and started jogging till the end. The finishing line was like so extreme la, everyone looking at u, and then see my classamate jonathan shouting at me.. "Wenhao ! I finished faster than u ! HAHAHA" haha i response but was too tired..
I thought ill faint when i finish la, but then after collecting my medal and shirt, there is this feeling of satisfaction, and when i met up with the guys, although in pain, still had some energy to joke arnd with em.
Then we head to mac donalds for a well deserved meal ! my treat !! haha but they were so kind to reject a treat from me, thats wad brothers are for.. cheers.

Alright now how am i gonna go sch tmr...

Race night

2009-05-30T19:17:00.002+08:00

Alas, the time has come, the Sundown Marathon. This is when i have to face the true enemy inside, which is myself. This is when i have to surpass my limits to get to greater heights. This is when i will achieve something i have nvr done. This is when i will become a new person.

Wad a great day to start warming up for the marathon which dark clouds and windy morning before street soccer at holland. Well there was abit of arguement over the me not wearing shoe to play issue, but i have my reasons, althou they may sound stupid.
1st is that i dun rly know how to explain but when i play bare footed, my sole kind of harden and when wear shoe or slippers after that, its kinda comfortable, something like having a massage. 2nd is to control my passion, i did not wan to tire myself before the marathon, so not wearing shoe, i will not rly be as active as usual. lastly is kinda a stupid reason hehe, is that i felt like playing barefooted. SORRY GUYS !

Now after lunch/ or dinner at holland, at home, packing for the night. I pray that my brothers that are coming down to support me have a great time themselves watching movies haha, and that they will not be bored. I pray that i perserver throughtout the entire race and not give up. I pray that my legs will be able to handle the pressure ive been and will be putting em into. I pray the whole event will be pleasant. Ahem

Sweet blue baby

2009-05-28T21:48:00.003+08:00

Ducati 848, my dream bike, now meet the Yamaha R125. Oh man when i was looking at bikes online, this just stood out.
BLUE is the color this year !
Haha gonna be in love with the R series man, this 125cc SuperSport Motorcycle will be a dream come true after i get my license..
haha but then guess it will be too much for a class 2b bike, so..

CHECK THIS OUT !! YAMAHA R6 !!!
haha the big brother ! looks so much fiercer this 599cc super bike, but to me i the R125 still nicer, esp the front and tank looks freakin cool.

Happy birthday Dawn

2009-05-25T23:21:00.003+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAWN !!

haha her 18th birthday today man, to most people, their 18th birthday is usually quite special right ? haha im guilty of forgetting her birthday, thx to the recent cough, headache, flu, injuries, fatigue, heatstroke that i got throughout the weekend, but better late than never.

sadly, seeing people celebrating their birthdays, i cant help but feel old, even in poly now, being 2nd yr student makes me feel old too, everytime when i pass fairfield, i feel old. If only time to just stop yeah haha.

About the pass weekend, haha sat was not bad, passed 4.02 !! haha 1st time ride with syakir and we did pillion riding, the pillion part was gay but there was stimulator, haha wad a comedy seeing the class crash, but wad was taught was seriously important, for on the road, its a life and death situation.
haha then tianhang drove us to soccer, soccer went quite well with when i tried out new tricks, haha one in particular cool fashion which breaks syakir's heart hahahaha (he didn't like it). well another one ended up as the only negative point of the story, as i changed the direction of my dribble to get past din, his stupid long ang moh legs swiped my ankle.. and then the story continues, i injured my ankle... again...
After soccer, cant believe we spent the whole time till midnight at my house downstairs, chilling, talking, emo'ing, sepak takraw'ing, climbing... and for some of em, smoking... haha

Sunday, benedetto in the hot humid morning at toa payoh again, fortunately had my parents to fetch me. haha me and syakir scored ! mine was merely a simple placing infront of goal from a superb cross from kelvin, haha but syakir, he HAD TO SCORE, so as the smallest player on the field, he scored a header haha, how about that for a goal.
Afterwards i went exploring from city hall to suntec, trying to find the stupid sundown marathon booth, well found it all the way at the end of suntec.. haha the race pack has many weird and stupid stuffs, e.g shaver ??? but the sleeveless running shirt was nice, even made of special material that can keep u cool in the day and warm in the night.
Finally work..zz Theres the reason why i dun like to work on weekends.. The crowd was MASSIVE !! from 3 to 10 i din even got chance to rest.. the worst thing was i was placed at candy bar, serve, cook, clean, serve, cook, clean, re stock. wad a vicious cycle.. Only able to have a nice soggy jumbo hotdog i made myself after work.

Wad a tiring weekend i had, which made my cough headache flu worse.. so skipped maya lesson in the morning today, so that i could have a nice sleep all the way, but went sch for audio lesson, haha met so many familar faces too in sch like wesley, nicole and charles.
So another tiring, boring day coming my way, so good night.

RTT PASS !!

2009-05-19T00:56:00.002+08:00

yeah finally i passed my RTT (riding theory test), so did shihan and syakir, congratz to us, for overcoming the only theory test for riders. haha after so much grueling practices and failures, it was a total shocker when i did the test, there were only 50 qs compared to 80 and 70 for evaluation and practice, the best part was.. IT SO EASY !! haha maybe thx to all those practices.

so.. finally all the focus turns to the road, thurs will be my 4.01, good luck to me as well and to syakir and shihan taking their respective practs tmr and wed. haha about 7 more practs to TP, so close yet so far, because my cash is depleting.. haha time to save...

Referees

2009-05-17T17:22:00.003+08:00

Football, actually its not a game of 22 players on the pitch...

that is because referees play a huge part in the game, during my short stint with FSW, i learnt plenty valuable lessons about the beautiful game, one of it was regarding referees.
In the game, u must always think that your team playing against not 11 players from the opposing team, but 12, including the referee, after all the ref is not playing for any team, he is a opponent for both teams.

Sometimes the referee may give wrong decisions, but referees are human too, u see even on professional level, referees make mistakes too. Luck plays some part is football, so when the ref give a wrong decision against us, bad luck, but if against the opponent team, good luck.

Another point is that u see that at professional level, refs make mistakes even with the aid of linesman, so how could we expect the referees of our local amateur football not make mistakes, when the have to control a game all by themselves. If they are so good, they wun be refereeing amateur football already.

Finally, respect is the word, it is common courtesy to treat all humans with respect, the referees would not wan to make a wrong decision as well, but he can only give the best decision from his point of view. you can also see on the international stage, "respect" campaigns are being organized, because even professionals understand the need for common courtesy, but unfortunately some professional players have problems with it.

After all is said, please know that this post is not directed to anyone, it is juz wad i felt after thru out the many games i played, and after watching many football matches. After today's benedetto game, suddenly got an urge to type it out. But if hopefully this post may help anyone who reads it to bring the beautiful and joyful feeling back to the game.

So now about today's benedetto game, lost 2-0 to wad i felt a better team, our players juz could not match the physical and technical play of the opponents, but we still gave them a spirited display trying to hold em off, but unfortunately a little error and they took advantage. GG to playouts reunited.

Another year...

2009-05-16T21:45:00.002+08:00

and then the wait continues, for liverpool's 1st EPL title since 1990...

haha today, had usual street soccer in the morning with my mates, haha finally kean wai came down again to play, haha his kicks are retarded man.. After soccer, reuben gave me a ride to burgerking where we all had lunch, late late lunch. haha oh man felt so gay sitting behind on the bike, after so many riding lessons, felt weird.

Speaking of riding, and while chatting with shihan, how much i envy shihan, haha i predict he will get his license in less 2 months, unless he fails TP, then after license he will have his bike alr, haha damm !

so close yet so far, about 5-6 more practicals away to license, but the cash is slowly flowing away...

ART

2009-05-15T22:15:00.002+08:00

Check out my new latest drawing, this one of my best ever, haha maybe the eyes need better positioning.

15 days to marathon, but im still not feeling ready for it, today was planning to jog to jurong east mrt but half way at clementi my knee was giving me problems, and my stomach, (haha less than an hr ago had a heavy dinner). I decided to give it up and walk back, at dover mrt when feeling better, i sprint back home.

In the night, I hear 'em talk
the coldest story ever told
somewhere far along this road,
he lost his soul to a women so...
heartless...
how could you be so heartless?
Oh... how could you be so heartless?

Kris Allen - Heartless Cover

This song doesn't represent any of my feelings so relax, but its a nice song. haha and recently found out that the singer is one of the many things we have in common. There is bon jovi, riding, & ice cream!! etc.. however, status remains the same, or maybe further apart as time goes by, maybe its my problem of confidence, or socialising?
but even so, i must "keep my head in the game", haha as in focus on more impt stuffs, espacially since the big race is around the corner.

Giving up a dream ?

2009-05-11T21:35:00.004+08:00

Finally, i guess a dream will stay a dream..

maybe i am not good enough, did not work hard enough... oh how much i envy those who get to live their dreams, but also hate to see those who take it for grated.
In the end, it feels like time's up, for people of my age would already be a step into dreamland. Oh how much i regret not fighting harder to make it into the team in sec1, maybe the situation would be different.

haha, but one must not stay in the past, at least im still doing wad i love doing, maybe a little stress from sch but thats wad sch is about ! What i can do now is try to live life happily, work hard towards a new future, then comes a new dream, which is to enjoy the beautiful game forever.

Joga Bonito meus Amigos

End of goal drought; Comeback Kings

2009-05-08T10:30:00.003+08:00

NAFC vs Laff's friend team
7 : 4

Goalscorers for NAFC - Wen Hao, Clement, Fengyuan, Syakir(2), Jeremy, Wilson

An early sat morning, NAFC head down to Yishun, the game started off usually for NAFC where we will concede first. However, there was hope of an early comeback when i scored an equaliser from a beautiful vic pass over the defence, catching the oppo's def offguard and rifled the ball to the roof of the net. Relieve was my emotion when i finally ended my goal drought of at least 26 matches.

The opponents regain their lead soon and added another one before the half ended due to another of our defence's carelessness, then the half ended 3-1 down.

After the half, the comeback Kings showed their stuffs as we piled up the pressure and finally equalised, the opp fitness was obviously lacking as we push on and scored 3 more, their only effort was the goal of the game when one of the opponent's key players placed his shot from outside the ball nicely into the top corner, a worthy consolation goal.

An apology as well as tribute to those who scored, but i only explained mine cos this is my blog, lol.

What is an Idea ?

2009-05-08T09:43:00.002+08:00

Plato's defination :
Ideas exist as eternal forms: ideal Prototypes or Archetypes in another realm
Their earthly incarnations are inferior copies.

Semiotic Theory : An idea is a sign
A sign consists of signifier & signified
"Cat" or C-A-T is the signifier
The thing that "meows" is the concept/idea.

What i learnt in poly

2008-11-16T20:21:00.002+08:00

Should i ?

2008-11-16T00:46:00.002+08:00

"change is nothing but a transformation from one state to another; the appearance or disappearance of parts is only phenomenal; nothing is added or subtracted.
the action of coming-to-be or becoming does not necessarily have to be associated with creation, beginning, or emergence, but rather may denote a process of derivation, transformation, or transition from one state to another. "
Kostas Terzidis.
haha wad i learnt after reading 4 essays for my literature review, Play & Design.
This week was rather strange, had a strange but rather familar feeling on wed. This feeling has been making think if i should enter a familar period my life, however a period which has given me sadness.
Therefore, the question is.. should i ?

miracles can happen

2008-10-24T23:13:00.003+08:00

when i was down, when every unfortunate thing seems to happen to me, i drop to one of the lowest points of my life. Although brothers and friends helped me in this difficult period, it has not end... However one day, someone told me miracles could happen, wad she told me had given me a new pespective to life. I realised from her that everyday of our lifes, we will encounter difficult times, however it is the way we look at it that defines our day.
Then there a problem since i started poly, which has threatened the very thing i loved the most, it gave me the thought of quiting, of giving up, up till now the problems has never been solved, worried, scared, its like a leech draining me up day by day, but wad can i do ?
Then, someone told me, i shouldnt be letting this problem drain me away, but to strengthen me for the future. She told me miracles can happen, and somehow i believed her, and started to believe in myself. That is why from now on, watch me, because miracles can happen.

Never Give Up, Never Back Down

NAFC vs. FAITH

4 : 2

Scorers - Laffyette, Syakir[2], Vic, Unknown Faith Player 1, Unknown Faith Player 2

Venue - Commonwealth Field

Weather - Freakin HOT !!!!

Date - 12 Oct 2008

hehe the match was like 1 week ago, and im updating abt it only a week aft, shows how sch + work = BUSY !! okay, the match started off poorly with only 10 men, we were as usual quite late and the opponents were warmed up and kicking around when we were juz gearing up. When we got onto the field, the ref blown for kick-off, therefore with only 10 men on the field and glenn strolling in with his ipod, brief the team on the lineups and started with "long time no see" laffyette upfront alone.

Well the match started off at a high note with us attacking straight away with laffyette crossing a great ball to me, haha but i blew the chance with a audacious volley which lack the power & accuracy. haha well aft that attack, our lack of warm up was clear to see and Faith bombarded us with a myraid of attacks with their tireless players.

Hehe and then another "long time no see" turbanator, aka kamaljit gave Faith a present when he let a wayward ball bounce over him into the goal... haha he blamed the ground, but we thought otherwise hehe. Faith took advantage of our demoralised spirit and add 1 more to the score. Thats pretty much of 1st half.

Well in half-time, we joke abt to lighten mood, drank some water and entered into 2nd half with a new state of mind. After controlling pretty much more of the game over our complacent opponents, laffyette announce his return to the team with a superd volley over the keeper from far out. We marched on to pressure our opponents, giving em no chance at all to think, with a syakir brace, equalised and got the team forward with 2 goals. Then we a great run down the byline, glenn centred the ball into the box, at the right place and right time, vic slotted home the ball to add another great comeback into NAFC's history.

Haha that sums up the match. Now how did the 1st week of school went ? well not bad. Mon my laptop suffered a devastating problem ! that i decided to leave the boring class 4 hrs early and went home to play PES haha. Tues was nothing special till i forgotten even wad lesson i had.. other than photoshop, haha where i played CS. Wed was nice, haha had Flash lesson where i played TD, after that GEMs, the good thing other than having a nice nap 3/4 of the lesson when the soft-spoken lecturer was "meditating" to the class, i love my group haha, includes Dawn & her fren Qilin, and pretty girl Sheryl :D, well and a weird guy, much weirder than me. Thurs well had a weird lesson... Character Development !??! played a weird ice breaker game, then played TD haha.

2008-08-10T00:12:00.002+08:00

Hehe the best pic i took on FDD, one of the few haha.

After days on emo'ness, i've decided to start a new life man, gonna get over her, wish her happiness and hopefully im still a fren to her. After witnessing and hearing many stories of other ppl's experiences with girls, actually i learnt something i find valuable, tho some may think i will not understand till i experience it. hmmm, no matter wad, the heart is the all that matters in the end, sometimes wicked evil hearts lies within the cute gentle appearances u see, thinking of that, scary.. so far 2 frens of mine said to me that ill find a nice girl, altho not knowing when, but willing to wait. haha after years of rejection, its time i learn my lesson yeah. haha bet many of my brothers are also quite frustrated with me alr, but sometimes even brothers cant heal a type of lonliness i feel when im alone fighting.
haha gotta polish up my character as well man, i do know and realise that sometimes im being hateful, unreasonable to my friends, and i shall apologise for that, but it is human to error. I will try not to make the same mistakes again and be a better person, a better friend. hehe maybe a better son ?? thats a challenge..
Lastly, man i miss sec sch man, where everyday aft sch the group of us head to the basketball court to play soccer. my conclusion is that sec 5 is my best yrs of fairfield.. its the yr almost everything went right for me, finally joined soccer credit to jeremy and the coach, will never forget my 1st goal for FSW against acsI. and there was O lvls too, nvr thought i could do so well.. However, soccer, the game of my life, ever since i join poly, or maybe got injured, i feel that the passion within me is dying.. been dropping my game ever since and even gotten famous for causing goals to be conceded in street soccer.. i dun like it when they say it, but its time i look at the bright side, my frens are trying to spur me on man, they r kind enough to pick out the mistake i made. now it is my part to correct it.

A group of malays and indians came and challenged us, as we were quite tired alr, we decided to play passing makiing em run instead. it actually worked ! we owned em, they were not so bad and were good individually. haha man joey is good, cant wait to show the nafc guys wad he can do in the court man.

Bright cold silver moon

Tonight alone in my room

You were here just yesterday

Slight turn of the head

Eyes down when you said

I guess I need my life to change

Seems like something's just aren't the same

What could I say?

I need a little more luck than a little bit

Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit

And every time that I try I get tongue tied

I'll need a little good luck to get me by

I need a little more help than a little bit

Like the perfect one word no one's heard yet

Cuz every time that I try I get tongue tied

I need a little good luck to get me by this time

I stare up at the stars

I wonder just where you are

You feel a million miles away(I wonder just where you are)

Was it something I said?

Or something I never did?

Or was I always in the way?

Could someone tell me what to say to just make you stay?

I need a little more luck than a little bit

Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit

And every time that I try I get tongue tied

I need a little good luck to get me by
