ok i'll finally blog

2005-05-28T23:38:00.000+08:00

it's been a damned long time since i last blogged. well i dunno why i have the time to blog but i usually feel obligated to do so. well now i'm having the will to blog so u people better READ haha. just kidding. went to tjc last friday for some sports leaders workshop. well i asked mr han to go for that workshop because i thought that we were gonna do some fun activities. in the end, we spend the whole entire morning sitting down in the classroom, surrounded by strangers from other schools, listening to the instructor talk about being a sports leader, trying to not fall asleep and doing some group work. well i cant disagree that the whole workshop was damned boring, but at least i learn something =). after that we took a coach back to school. became quite crazy in the coach as Ashiq and i were like shouting about how great Arsenal is. haha. and some other mad stuff which wont be useful mentioning. haha.

then we came to school, i got back my class position from Kenneth. i'm 7th in class! heh my favourite number too. number 7 reminds me of 1 of the greates arsenal players, Robert Pires. He's such a legendary midfielder. okok back to the main topic. i didnt really expect that i would get 7th. but it could have been better if my chinese did better. anyway, i dont give a damn about chinese anymore. whenever i look at chinese words, my mind turns blank. i dont understand anything. its just a stupid and useless subject. why learn chinese when english is the international language? i dont need chinese language when i start working man. its just waste some of my brain cells, which could have possibly been used for things much more useful. i just dont understand.

i've been playing soccer like almost everyday now. suffering from a football flu i guess. my skin is getting blacker again. and my face is getting more white spots again. haha. anyway i dont know whether i'm improving or not. but i seem to be less clumsy now? which is a good sign i suppose. and i really suck at playing as a goal keeper. i dont know how to use my hands to save a ball!

back to my exams. i did quite well i suppose. here are my results and IM NOT BOASTING because i dont think im the best.

2005-03-07T21:15:00.000+08:00

its been a month since i blogged. argh i suck at organizing my time properly man. i'm always finding myself with no time. and the result : sleeping late, no energy in class blah blah blah. common tests are over man! i'm overjoyed! well, at least for now. had and A1 for combined sciences :). not a bad start heh! i suck at a.maths. really need to start doing some assessments. i cant seem to remember what i've learnt in class. could it be the lack of sleep i have? argh, that's my dilemma. anyway i'm really crazy over bowling. gonna have a "bowling competition marathon" next week. hope i'll be able to take part in 3 competitions, if i have the cash. haha. anyway, i think i'm getting my touch back. but the most important thing to me is my swing. i'm totally relaxed now! which is a good thing. my ball spin is getting back. aww it feels sooo awesome and satisfying..

my dad just became a member of the NSRCC. i dont know the name in long-form. but i think it used to be called SAFRA Tanah Merah. hehe. they have a bowling alley with games at cheap prices. the bowling alley's really old and quiet. but i still kinda like that place. it has a 24-lane bowling alley, a big gym, swimming pool, bungalows up for rent, golf driving range, a full golf course including a 9-hole course for beginners, snooker room, jackpot room and some more. i dont know, havent explored the place yet. i'm planning to check out the gym 1 of these days. its really big man! with nice weight machines

went swimming last sunday at NSRCC. its been about a year since i last swam man. almost forgot how to swim. the sun was good and i applied some sun tan lotion. heh! of course, i wanna get tanner. but what luck i had and always have. the moment i finished applying my sun tan lotion, the clouds covered the sun. grr. so i went to swim instead. once again, to my loss and horror, i realized that i forgot to bring my goggles. argh.. but nevermind, i still could swim without my goggles. when i started swimming, i forgot about the breathing technique my swimming teacher used to teach me. in the water, breathe out. haha. how dumb can i be? i breathed in the water. and choked and water went running into my nose. eeergh i hate that "sensation" where water's stuck in ur nostrils and ur coughing. anyway, back to the swimming part. since it was a sunday, many families were at the swimming pool(that's a con, not a pro). many people were swimming and i could not swim in peace. whenever i swam, there would always be some idiot swimming in my way and the end result : collision(with the aid of not wearing goggles). i swam non stop for about 1 hour. it feels great when u're in the water not knowing that u're actually sweating. =)

ate some beef kway teow for dinner that day. as usual, i asked for more beef and no vegetables and beancurd(yuck, i think of fear factor whenever i see vegetables. they're just disgusting). the beef kway teow tasted great, especially the gravy. we all were very fortunate that evening as a golfer had a "hole-in-one". i think he's rich because he went to ring the hole-in-one bell. since he rang that bell, he would have to treat all the people in the restaurant drinks. taking full advantage, i went to drink 5 glasses of orange juice. hahaha.

i cant think of anythine else to say. i'll try my best to update my blog. and i dont care about my blog layout anymore. cant seem to edit it. haha. just continue tagging folks. adios

2005-02-07T20:55:00.000+08:00

at last im free. hohoho. time to write,write and write. had a soccer match today. played quite well i guess. i played the in the entire match today. yeah, we won telok kurau secondary school 2-0. we could have been more goals up and telok kurau sec could have scored and equalised too. so i'm quite satisfied with the result. it was a very fair match. can say that telok kurau was one of the cleanest opponents we ever faced(unlike victoria). anyway, better not talk about the match. wads done cant be undone yeah..
cant wait for chinese new year man. time for some HONG BAOS! yeah. this year is my chance to get as much hong bao money as i can man. need a lot of cash for my bowling. haha. i need a new bowling ball! and its a very expensive ball. and i've been saving for it for quite a long time. so all the hong bao money would be a great boost for me. hohoho.
nothing else to say. i'll update if i have the time. cya

2005-01-30T22:50:00.000+08:00

just came back from bowling. have been very unlucky the past few times i went bowling. last friday, my ball got a few chips and luckily the bowling pro shop owner agreed to give me free ball reconditioning(which means make the ball look new, removing all the scratches). just now, when i got back my ball, it was shiny. as good as new. the ball's curve had a more angular arc and wooo i was damn happy. during my 5th game, my ball came back to the stand. TO MY HORROR, IT HAD A 1.5 INCH LONG CHIP, 5MM DEEP. and it was on my ball's track(the part where my ball touches the lane when it rolls). darn. so my ball's back at the pro shop. hopefully it will be fine. this will be the 2nd time in 3 days my ball's getting reconditioned. and everyball can be reconditioned maximum 3 times. so if the next time my ball gets chipped. im gonna ask for a new ball. hahaha. gotta sleep now.

-zooms away like a bullet

2005-01-25T19:50:00.000+08:00

its been about 4 days since i blogged. think i'll use some of my spare time now. hmm. last friday? oh yeah, that bowling tournament. averaged 177(192 with hdcp) in 8 games. pretty bad. but my hdcp(handicap because of my age) pulled me up to position 16/84. overall, the tournament was kinda hard. the singapore sports sch bowling took part, a few from the singapore youth bowling team and a lot from acsi,acsb,sji.... bah those rich schs. guessed my bro and i were the only 2 from neighbourhood schs. all the people there were very very rich. judging by the number of bowling balls they owned. wow. never mind, i'll be back next month. argh. need a lot of time to improve my bowling technique man. k dont think i have anymore time. gotta go. bye

cant think of any title.

2005-01-20T22:23:00.000+08:00

oh bloody hell. the whole essay i've just wrote just disappeared. what's wrong with this blogger? argh never mind since i have the time i shall write it again. hmm... what was i talking about? oh yeah. i was talking about the match against victoria school. it ended in a 1-1 draw but i guessed we surprise victoria school by giving them a draw. i played like shit in the 1st half but i think i improved on my sharpness in the 2nd half. in fact, loyang sec dominated the 2nd half! yeah. could have won the game if more of our attacks succeeded. anyway, the victorians are really damned arrogant. cant stand them. they have a lot of unfair tactics like diving, pushing etc. i remember that during the 2nd half, when i won the ball cleanly from 1 stupid victorian, that victorian suddenly jumped, holding his knee and screaming. bloody diver. he'd get a perfect score if he was a diver(the one at the swimming pool if u dont get me). anyway victoria school is a big school. great facilities too. but the school's infested with nerds. NERDS. saw a few pupils walking around the school reading a storybook. yucks. going for a bowling tournament tomorrow. hope i'll bowl well and dont make that same stupid mistake of looking at all those pro bowlers and not concentrating on my game. all right, gonna watch american idol. i think that's all i can think of writing today. shall call it a day! bye all.

cant think of any title.

2005-01-20T22:13:00.000+08:00

ok. this week was a better and less tiring week than last week. had a friendly soccer match on wednesday against victoria sec. we were the underdogs, of course. but the match turned out to be a DRAW! we played like shit in the first half but i think we surprised that arrogant victoria team when we bounced back and dominated the second half. talking about victorians, grrr, they're one of the most arrogant students around in singapore. not all of them. but most of them. especially the soccer team. they have dirty tactics like diving, pushing etc. i got the ball cleanly from 1 victorian player and guess what he did. he jumped up, holding his knee, and screaming in pain. what a disgrace to that school man. the match ended in a 1-1 draw. anyway, victoria school is a beauty. a big school with a lot of facilities. now i know why that sch is excelling in sports. it is because the pupils are allowed to play after school. not like my school, pathetic school. argh cant want to get out of loyang sec. have a bowling tournament tomorrow. nervous, nervous. have to wake up early again. bahh. never mind i just hope i dont screw myself up by looking at all the pro bowlers and not concentrating on my game. that was my big mistake the last time. its time for revenge man. i think i'm gonna write this much today. gonna watch american idol now. guess i'll call it a day.

im bored! argh

2005-01-16T10:58:00.000+08:00

Since i'm feeling so damned bored now, i came across the idea of creating a post. It's been a week since i posted something. I have been really really really super busy this week. I had soccer trainings on monday,wednesday and friday. Wednesday was the killer and mental strengthening day. After school, i had to rush down to PRCS for o level music class. The class was 3 hours long. And i think i was half asleep in class. Right after the class, which i learnt nothing but the rules, exam stuff etc i had to rush home to pack up and run all the way to downtown east for soccer training. Anyone would laugh if he/she saw me in my house running about getting my stuff ready. CRAZEEE. I wore my $1.50 slippers and ran all the way to pasir ris park( at downtown east) for soccer. i was already very late. To my horror, the whole field at the park was occupied by a stupid JC orientation camp. Luckily i saw my 'C' division soccer coach with the sec 1s and 2s at the corner of the field training. He told me that the 'B' division soccer team went down along the beach. So i ran all the way along the beach, across the bridge, through the park and finally found the team. I was already shagged by then. The whole journey on my $1.50 slippers was stupid. it was like going 1 whole big round around pasir ris park as the field my team was training on was just about 200m from my house. dammit. So i carried on with training and went home and bathed and ate dinner and did my homework and brushed my teeth and went to bed. That was wednesday.

Thursday was a much better day. i woke up in the morning, feeling as fresh as ever, and proud that i lasted through wednesday. didn't have any tutorials or soccer trainings on thursday. and school ended at 1.30 and not 2. :) went to school on foot as per-normal and school was boring( as usual). After school i walked home again and later i went bowling!! yeah. at the usual place, victor's superbowl, marina south, marina bay, singapore. bowled another 10 games and i felt real good. averagin 184. lala.. hope i'll be able to repeat that average next friday man. Going for the Youth Bowler of the Month competition again. it happens every month which i think is great. good experience. Ok back to thursday. After bowling i ate my usual chicken chop with rice, egg + black sauce. Yummy. With F&N grape too. Went home to do my homework.

Friday? a more relaxed day. School ended at 12.30 and i rushed home to get some SLEEP. yes, i mean SLEEP. slept for 3 hours till 4pm and had to pack up for soccer training. grateful to my sleep, i played well, feeling less strained. that's about it.

Didnt do much but relaxed on saturday. went over to my cousins' house to play some Xbox. We played the usual game, Fifa 2004. Hope they'll get fifa 2005. Hehe.

That's about it. Hope i'll be free enough to write more during the week. If not, i'll stick to writing to weekends only. Bye for now.

At last, the weekends..

2005-01-09T00:25:00.000+08:00

After a long and exhausting week, the weekends have finally come! The first week of school was not bad. I'm happy with my class because my good friends are there! I love a maths too man. It seems easier than e maths. Dont really know why though. Dnt this year is gonna be damn tough and time consuming man. My teacher, Mr Elmi, has super high expectations and he really gives us a super lot of homework and research to do. My chemistry teacher is really strict. At least she herself admitted it. She really showed her real character on the 2nd lesson this week. But nevermind, all teachers are strict for a reason and for our own good. =D Soccer training this week shagged me out. My leg muscles are aching now and i'm not sure if it would recover by Monday because i have another soccer training on Monday. Anyway, i'm getting used to my coach's training. We do the same routine every training. First, a slow jog around the huge field at Pasir Ris Park. After that, stretching. Then he would divide us into groups and play the game "Monkey". After that, we all would run 2-3 rounds around the field, 1 round at a time, with a time limit of 1.15. More like speed endurance. After running we'll have a rest and then we'll train on our technique, etc. Then run run run... We'll run at least 10 rounds per training. Tiring man! All right, i think that's enough talk about training.

Went bowling today at the Singapore Island Country Club. I'm not a member of that expensive club with filthy rich members. My cousins brought me there. Hehe. Just looking at the carpark of that club and you will know how rich the members are. Saw a slick-looking black coloured BMW 545 with the license plate EE 555 E. wow..

Bowling was really fun today. The lanes were very well maintained and had no problems at all. Not surprised. Bowled 3 games of 205,211 and 246. Hehe. Hope i would be able to bowl that well in future tournaments. My average today was about 200. 1st time i had a 200 average. Woohoo! I had a really good time at that club today. Played some pool and ate some delicious food for dinner. And the people there are DAMN RICH! Gotta sleep now, good night to all!

Help! I'm damned busy!

2005-01-06T22:18:00.000+08:00

All right, for the first few months of 2005 i'm gonna be damn busy. i have soccer training on mondays, wednesdays and fridays. That's crazy man. And surely there'll be tutorials during the week too in weeks to come. I think i'll have little time for computer games and homework. Argh! Why does my cheap neighbourhood school have to be so stressful? Hah! my stupid principal claims that my school is the RI of the East of Singapore. That's utter rubbish to me. My school's just gone mad!!

Went bowling today at Marine Bowl. The air-con there is superb man. The whole bowling alley will echo whenever u get a nice strike too. Don't know why. Maybe it's the structure of the building that makes the sound sooo loud. But the louder the sound, the more satisfying it would be whenever u get a good, solid strike. Worked on my spares today. Getting better at pin-10 spares man! =D averaged around 155 today. Not that good, though. Just had trouble getting strikes. Saw some old uncles playing too. Those uncles use that old-fashioned "Taiwanese style". Where u have to do one wrist motion to make the ball go straight, spinning like a top. Well, i think that style is very effective in Marine Bowl, as the pins there are very light. Anyway, the uncles were real good. Averaging 200 man. But i still don't like their style. Hook style would be much more effective in the future as according to the guy who drilled my bowling ball, every bowling brand has stopped producing balls which are suitable for the "Taiwanese stlye". And the oil patterns on most bowling lanes are changing to hook lanes. So, in about 3 years time, bowlers who do that "Taiwanese style" will DIE! ( If they aren't playing at Marine Bowl, haha)

I have to sleep soon. Good night folks

My 1st Day of School

2005-01-03T21:00:00.000+08:00

School was quite fun today. My form teacher is a mad teacher who shouts and shouts and shouts non-stop. Her name is Miss Choo Beng Geok(you can even tell that she's insane just by the name). She appointed me as a class secretary just because i talked, and even told me that if i didnt want to be a secretary then i would have to get out of the class. MAD! Right after that, she told the class to volunteer to be subjects reps because the person has to be willing to represent a subject. Then i told her that i did not have the will to be a class secretary. And guess what, she threatened me to get out of the class again. Haha. Anyway, being a class secretary has little work to do. Eventually my mad teacher will forget about me. Hohoho! In the evening, i had school soccer training. The tournament's going to start in about 3-4 weeks time, and training will be 3 times a week. STRESS! And training isn't easy at all. It's non-stop running man. Even worse, my school's soccer field is not ready yet, so all the soccer players have to go to Pasir Ris park instead. The field at Pasir Ris park today was really muddy. You could even feel your feet sinking into the mud when you were running. We did some drills, like the "monkey" game, 1 on 1s and then a match at the end of the training, when we were all shagged out. After training, our shirts and pants were drenched by the mud and water. So we went to the nearby toilet. Surprisingly, the owner of the toilet allowed us to shower for free! Luckily, i remembered to bring an extra shirt. So we went for a quick shower and went home. Hopefully it will be a good day tomorrow again. Going to play some pool after school! Signing off now..

Hooray Arsenal won!

2005-01-03T03:40:00.000+08:00

ARSENAL WON! WOOHOO! I'm very happy Arsenal could win in-form Charlton Athletic because Arsenal could still maintain their pressure on league leaders Chelsea. Hehe. Even though Arsenal still won't catch up on points, they still catch up on goal-difference - better than nothing man. Manchester United also won, which also adds up to the pressure on league leaders Chelsea. Hohoho! The player who really impresses me is Cesc Fabregas, who plays in the Arsenal midfield alongside Patrick Vieira. He's the youngest player in the whole league and he's playing exceptionally well. 3 Cheers to Fabregas! Robin Van Persie is another young player with rich potential as he showed that he could be a replacement for his former Dutch senior, Dennis Bergkamp. Van Persie also scored the finishing goal! Hurrah! Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley expressed his frustration at the offside system - passive or active. I think he proves a point because when a player is offside but not interfering with play, the game still goes on and another player who is not offside can still win the ball. The player who is offside can run back in-line with the defence and then challenge for the ball. This causes confusion for the linesmen as well as the defence. In my opinion, i think the rules should be changed back to the old system where a player is offside as long as he is behind the last person of the defence, regardless of whether he's interfering with play. Anyway, it was a good game with fair play from both teams. At least Arsenal won! Woohoo!

What i Want to Achieve this Year...

2005-01-02T18:30:00.000+08:00

Things i want to achieve this year:

1) Get into at least the 2nd round of B division soccer because we really train damn hard.
2) Manage my money well so i can buy some bowling balls.
3) This may seem crazy, but i wanna get into the Singapore Youth Bowling team.
4) Win some bowling tournaments and get money!
5) Pass my exams with flying colours( have to work hard, of course).
6) Be a more open person.
7) Not to get injured again(as i'm very accident prone).

I'll post another post if i can think of more. Gotta go !

1 More Day to School

2005-01-02T15:15:00.000+08:00

Went bowling today again, as usual. Starting to improve on my spares and my release. Didn't score very well but i'm still satisfied. = ) Bought a 2-in-1 ball polisher. It's supposed to delay the reaction of my bowling ball and increase the backend reaction. Some of u people may not understand what i'm saying. Haha. But the fact is, in bowling, you will have more strikes and less splits if your entry to the pocket(the place which is the target to get a strike, in between pins 1 and 3) is curved. I don't think i'm good at explaining things. Haha. But i guess the reason why i'm talking about this is because i have nothing else to talk about. And i think i shall stop here because the Charlton vs Arsenal match has started. GO ARSENAL! Signing off.....

2005

2005-01-02T06:40:00.000+08:00

Ok it's january the 1st,2005. 200 more days of school to endure too. Haha. Ok lah, school isn't that bad, if not for my friends and some teachers. But still, it's damn boring. On Monday i will have to go back to school. Don't think i would bring anything besides my pencil case. Anyway, i think that's enough talk about SCHOOL. I went bowling yesterday at an unfamiliar place, Pocket Bowl, Katong Shopping Centre. The lanes were pretty good and the air-con was good too. With good air-con, my palms won't get sweaty too. Only problem was the games were too expensive. At least i bowled a score of 234, my 3rd highscore. Perhaps i celebrated the New Year with a STRIKE! Haha.. Can't think of anything else to talk about right now, have to work on my pathetic blog. The layout is really boring and i guess i have to change the dull background.. Stay tuned for more!

Finally...

2005-01-01T16:00:00.000+08:00

It was because i did not put any colour to the tagboard, and therefore no one could see the conversation.. how stupid and hopeless of me. anyway HAPPY NEW YEAR too everyone reading this post.
