i've been having this sore throat for many days, and now finally it has gone, i'm so happy!!! yesterday was school's cross country, prior to cross country, the whole group of us was at bukit batok csc's bowling alley playing bowling... tiong yee and keith was at pool centre... everyone played so well lahz... even joel lim played till he fell on the lane lahz... he was like going to grab the ball but his shoe stepped into the oiled lane, then he just fell over!!! the whole scene was so comical lahz... especially when his both leg just went up in the air just like that... during the cross country,did ran, but still never won... i haven't been winning for the past 3 years, so this year didn't win also did not bother me much... but at least i fulfilled my target... that is to get back within 25 minutes... with wei quan and tiong yee behind me!! haha, well actually we 3 ran in together... just that i was little more in front... oswa, huihan, zhijie, dongsheng and wei da got in the top 20, kenneth got 24th... haha, all the fast runner in the B'boys... i would say that i am not much of a long distance runner, cause i don't have that endurance to go on... i think i better stick to running short distances and on basketball court, like that i won't look lousy... dinner was at KAP, then went to play 2 and half hours of CS... we(me,andrew,yunye and wilson) lost tragically... it was like an ownage by them(kahleong,calvin,joash and wenjin) but still we had fun... it was raining like hell when we left, so everyone left in a cab... me and yunye shared one, the rest i not sure... reached home, went to bed straight away... then that's about it... i've been receiving an unknown message which i don't know who the person is... gonna check it out now, and go get myself breakfast... tata!

I'm so overjoyed now lahz... firstly, was released from school early today.. cause my class and 4E1s have a CIP programme to visit a handicapped home i think.. anyway me,huihan and dongsheng can't go cause we have got our own west zone competition... left class at 12.30... we went to shoot some hoops, then get changed.. before heading to concourse and sat on the benches till around 2... that is like the three of us... all in black... sitting shoulders away... chatting...(urgh... so gay... but we are NOT) then the rest of the team meet up with us, before heading down to sports hall... it was slightly drizzling out there, but anyway, we didn't get caught in the rain, cause we had a luxury called a bus to bring us from school to sport hall... reached there, then warmed up... the bukit view people looked so cool lahz... was expecting them to be a quite good team... however, it wasn't as good as i expected... first quarter was EXCELLENT... we held them down to only 4 points, while we, got 20... haha... second quarter was alright... did our job well... continued to score to open up our lead... 3rd quarter was... average... can't say much... our offense was up again... going strong, defense wise was beginning to slack... so allowed them to score a little more than we should... last quarter was... DISASTER... it wasn't supposed to go that way lahz... our defense was like havoc... allowed 2 or 3 3-pointers for them... coach was... overwhelmed with anger i think... haha... i just give us, those on the bench his trademark smirk... in the end, we won... watched hwa chong vs westspring after debrief... but lef halfway into the game cause our stomach needs to be filled with gourmet after our hard work... as we left, blacky told me one thing that made me even more happy...

blacky:"eh!eh! you know, when you were playing right, one of the girl referee said your defense very good lahz... if only you never go foul that guy then perfect lahz..."
me:"OF COURSE!!! i'm kelvin lim lehz!!!":)

but ok people... lets not get too proud just because of that remark... we have to improve on the defense... at least i'll find ways to improve on mine...
went down to hawker centre to eat hokkien mee... damn nice lahz... but a very not inviting scene happened as i was withdrawing cash... there were this group of BARBARIANS from bukit view who walked past us and made a very rude remarks on Tiong Yee lahz... this made him so angry that i think if allowed, he would have thrown punches onto that SHORT PANT kiddo lahz... Andy and me was the good guy, pulling him off and tell him not to quarrel... it was like the fact is the fact lahz... they lost to us, furthermore these people were not even in the school team, so what makes them have the right to confront us like that... it just don't make any sense lahz... plus it made them more like a sore loser ok... losing a game and taunt the opponents... so no sportsmanship...if they were in the basketball club of their school right... i'll give them this piece of advice...GET OUT OF THE TEAM/CLUB NOW... since they can't take losing... but anyway, i wasn't really bothered by what they said.. cause we had WON!!! after such an eventful day... i thought that going back home to relax was the best idea... so all of us headed HOME...


SECOND ROUND!!! haha... team-mates, let work even harder... show even more fighting spirit than what we showed against bukit view today... cause our goal is not only the second round... its the NATIONALS... keep it up!!!

I'M SICK people... was supposed to go to school today, but early in the morning felt damn hot... so presumed that i as down with a fever... i was hoping that it will go off, but sadly, it didn't... so therefore, i was sticking to my bed with 2 blankets over me, plus a jacket... i was trying to like " yi du gong du" lahz... since i was feeling hot, why not cover myself up so that i would sweat out the heat in me... but alas, it never succeed... so here i am now, still feeling that freaking heat from my body... not to mention that my body is aching now ok... i still got a match against bukit view tomorrow lahz... i gotta get well by tomorrow... i don't want to be seating on the bench and watch my mates play... i WANNA contribute!!! went down to sports hall to pass the B'girls the first aid kit... haha... the moment lynn saw me, she asked a such an annoying question...
Lynn:"u pon school or wad?!"
me:"I'm SICK lahz!!!"
freak right? do i look like i'm those who like to "pon" school?
but at least she noticed my lips were kind of pale, so maybe she understood that i was really sick... then talked to mr Ang for awhile, before going to take a look on the fixtures and stuffs... was wondering whether to stay and watch their match against tanglin... but decided not to... saw michael, his right arm and fist were in cast... so i asked him what happened...
me:"coach!! what happened to your hand?"
michael:"broken... broken finger..."
i was like... oh.. ok... then left from the sports hall... went home to continue with my "sweat therapy"
dinner's ready... i'm off to eat my meal... byes... hope everything goes well for tomorrow!!!

haven't been blogging for days!!! finally have the little time out of my busy schedule to blog again... wahaha!!! anyway, past days have been quite hectic... Tuesday was dunearn b'boys first west zone match... was against Hwa Chong Institution... lost by 3 points... damn! anyway, was not that good that day anyway... stupid shoe, made me felt like flying... cause the sole was so worn of lahz... it looked pathetic ok...(at least now i got a new shoe, Oswa's shoe is the pathetic one... bleahx.) got 2 points out of that 27.. haha.. then got training on wednesday... my god, coach was like over the top lahz... he scolded people like nobody business... i was one of the few whom was scolded alright... I'm like so scared lahz... first time seeing him so angry... anyway, after that he did still joke with us... (he's a nice nice coach... one moment, he can be like shouting his head off you, another moment he'll joke with you like nothing happened...), finally today, was westspring's match... 3 chances, missed 2, only got one basket in... damned! anyway, i was already injured within the 1st minute of the first quarter lahz... i was like defending that guy, then for no apparent reason, he charged, and his knee jabbed hard onto my thigh... the pain, haha... was like hell... i was on the floor for at least half a minute in pain! tiong yee's words didn't help at all lahz... he was saying like " quick! stand up, be a man!" i was thinking... like what has the pain have to do with being a man... if you kena hit by the guy and its so painful, try asking a guy to ask you to be a man lahz... the rest of the match lets not talk about it, it wasn't a very eventful match anyway... we trashed them like 50 odd to 29... hah... well its over now... they were very good actually... anyway, tomorrow gonna go to school to shoot some hoops, my shooting is rusty and i don't like that ok... tuesday is a match against bukit view... haven't seen their playing ability yet.. but lets not take the game easy... we gotta respect all the opponents! and hope my thigh will heal fast enough.. it still feel very sore lahz ok... well gonna go rub some ointment to my thigh... take care everyone and... smile! : )

today, the 2nd day of "i am gifted, so are you" course... a day full of reflections... ESPECIALLY, of our pasts, what we had done, our setbacks, our future, career plus plus... today was the day where reminiscent of the past was at its peak... but lets start from morning till end of day two ok...

MORNING's part was taken by candice... we left her err.. somewhat disappointed yesterday as some of us were like so so so un-enthusiastic about her part of the workshop... and the some as in some of my class, 4E2...(we heard from Amin that candice told him that she don't really want to take us in the morning, as she was damn scared history will repeat) but, she was so so WRONG! we were so HOT... we are so so more enthusiastic than the E1s... or perhaps its our competitive side that do not want to lose to the E1s.. i'm not sure... but anyway... everything was quite alright... until this part where WILSON and WEI LI went to the front to challenge to read out the 30words that we were given the night before... it was a challenge of who could read the fastest. the faster one wins... we also were asked to put wages.. which is our 2 different classes' points... E1, i think waged, eh... 100 or 200 points.. i don't remember... (anyway, their points were like 200 points more than E2) we/ our class show hand!!! haha.. we waged all our points... we are brave.. we thought that, anyway we got nothing to lose, so just SHOW HAND... haha... in the end we still lost... haha sad right... but not to worry... we got back and even took the lead over E1 just before lunch or tea break... YAY... 3 cheers for E2!!! we were like so so united ok... our new group cheer was i think... one of the best i've heard...

AFTERNOON... it was Amin's turn... he was, i should say, one of the most humorous plus emotional guy/speaker we had for the course? anyway.. HE IS OUR FAVOURITE!!! i guess... at least he was my favourite speaker... but today he was different... he used most of the time telling us his life story... from primary school to secondary school and beyond... haha... we were all laughing at those funny voice, gestures, and remarks he made lahz... then until this part where it was about... "problems" that part changed the whole course of the talk... that part, he started to get somewhat emotional... really.. i could really feel that he was speaking to us full of...anger, frustration plus plus... but of course it was his way of telling us alot of things that we used to take lightly or for granted... really... his story of his grandpa... i tell you... that was one of the most most touching story i've ever heard... and well ok... i didn't cry... some was already allowing their taps to let the water run down their eyes... it was until he asked us to close our eyes and... imagine that if one day, we were to walk into a funeral?(i can't remember what word he used.. but the word used supposedly was to meant that it was at a wake) walked up to the 2 coffins of our beloved.. OMG... that's was really it... the first thing that came so vividly into my mind was my dear pop... ok... the whole scenario of pop's wake just came into my mind... and Amin, with his speeches, describing the scene, made me remember even more clearly of that eventful day... in my heart, it was... like OMG... i can't stand it anymore... but the funny thing is, i never breakdown... i never even cried... unlike some other guys in the room that was already running to the toilets(i'm not saying you all are "sissies" or what... in fact i admire those who actually shed their tears... its just that, i just can't or don't have tears... i just don't cry.. but it still have that sour feeling deep down)... i was like so so cannot tahan lahz... when its over... that down felling just overcame me... i was there sitting on that chair, with the cold air blowing towards me, and i just kept on thinking of pop... especially that cold and calm face of him from the glass that separates me and him... that thin glass, thou so thin but yet the gap that it created was like heaven and earth... towards the end, when amin asked us to write a letter to our parents, i was thinking... if i were to write a letter to pop, and to read it out to the everyone in the course, would one way or another, pop, in the nether world or some where, could hear to what am i saying? i hope he will...

EVENING... Danny-boy was in the house!!! he continued on where amin left off, and also talked about his past life...(these speaker really loved to share their pasts!!! wow) and also talked to us about our future... where and what we are going to do after O levels.. he also showed us a typical monthly expenditure of a working class professionals... wow, and could you imagine that to own car, flat, plus our necessities, one month, it works out to be about 3k plus.. and the average working professionals in S'pore actually only earn between 2.5-3k plus minus, depending on their work positions... haha... i'm so stress now... this made me even more sure that other than my dream job, i could choose no other jobs... as other jobs may not be able to supply me with the income to lead that 3k plus kind of lifestyle... so the solution for me? get a better paying job!

tomorrow's the last day of course!!! i'm so happy!!! hopefully tomorrow's gonna be a better day and have hope that the rest of the year would be BETTER!!! take care people!!!

argh!!! finally got a chance to blog again... it has been a week since i last put up a post... first 3 days of school hasn't been much of an excitement to me... very boring in fact... other than training... well the school days are a bore to me... wednesday training left most of our mates' leg sore like hell... coach was quite evil... before training, he told us he could get us ball shoes at 30% discount... then those who wanted to buy shoes were over the moon(especially me), thought that coach was real nice to tell us that... but then, the warm up exercise made us think that he wasn't so much of a nice person... after training we ate like hungry ghosts... its the leftover from the sec 1 orientation dinner or something... i not to sure... but we just ate it anyway... someone left his food on the table and on thursday was reprimanded by our ms lim for so... told us that we got to run our favourite run, 17-ze.. haha... but we didn't run it anyway... friday was cca promotion day... alot came to basketball, i don't really noe how much is alot, but the station i was mending really has alot... they just kept coming in... yesterday was training again... i was the centre of attraction for coach... always being shot by his sharp tongue... anyway, ms lim anounced to us the 15 players who could continue to train, i am one of them... haha... and the jerseys are on its way... i chose no. 6 haha... thought that it will be quite an odd number, but i liked it anyway... after training was 30 3-pointer for me and kah leong... this was because me and KL was caught playing soccer by ms lim when we are not supposed to... made that 30 shot... eh i tink in about 15 mins? haha... i must have shot hundreds of shot before making that 30 in... lets count... 30x3=90... wow... i scored ninety points yesterday ok... haha... i'm going out to meet tiong yee, kenneth and zhi jie soon... so thats for now... will update again...

YEAH :) i' done with my spring-cleaning!!! haha... got my sec 4 textbooks from my lovely joel ng kuan boon... that inspired me to tidy up my messy little corner which is full of everything dirty... the most incredible being, those notes which earlier last year, has been deemed as "missing" by me, actually reappeared among the mountainous stack of papers among other stuffs at the corner... started cleaning at 4, just finished it minutes ago... haha, threw away alot of stuffs, recovered alot of notes which maybe of help for my revision this year... after this, i shall continue to finish up my remaining homework... i still have another maths and chinese paper to finish... i actually stayed up on new year's day to do my homework... i was doing maths and some chem from 1am to 5 plus in the morning... of course in between, i was watching an andy lau movie which was aired on channel 8, after that, i was still wide awake... so surfed the net till about 6.30am? read the newspaper till about 7 before going to bed and then waking up again at noon... this is serious man... i'm getting serious insomnia... i just cant get myself to sleep... i'm always still wide awake even though its 3-4am in the morning... i hope this won't go on when school starts, i cant afford to be like this during school term... i'll go berserk in class i guess? ok... i'll to sleep early tonight... after i'm done with my tv shows that is... must get ready alot of things before school reopen... and concentrate on my studies after it has.. hopefully everything will go just fine for me.. lets pray for that to happen... my aunt meed my help with dinner... ok... so help is on her way.. tata!!!

ok... after that new year speech haha... kinda naggy... but anyway, that's my new year wishes to everyone... so can't be helped.. haha... ok.. i'm gonna start the new year by revealing my culinary experiments here... i'll improve it as we go along this 2007... this first piece wasn't that nice after all, it was mostly ready-made components that are in it... but hey... as long as its food, it should be enjoyed and not critisized... its actually japan imported macaroni with bottled alfredo sauce and fried egg white...
ok... this really don't look good... cant see the sauce really well, but that is the fact that i added egg yolk to the white alfredo cream sauce... should understand that the white of the sauce is covered by the rich yellow of the yolk... this actually bring out the cheesy taste of the sauce out when its piping hot... the egg white, have been mixed with fish sauce... those with the fried oyster omellete have, then there's a dose of pepper and soya sauce... before frying it on a pan with little moist and water... it'll let the white kind of slowly cook from the centre to the outer layer... when its all done, some chopped spring onion serves as garnishing... and that about it...

HAPPY 2007!!! mates... 2006 went pass us and 2007 is here... may the old be a reminder to us of what we had done, and the new, be the start of something... recall the past for it has been a wonderful 2006, and sit back to anticipate this new and hopefully exciting 2007... countdown's over, and amidst the fun and high atmosphere, let us not forget that the sweat and energy we had put in to make the past year something wonderful... and if we had been little evil past year, let's be better this year... and may all of us join hands to help each other to fulfill each others dream this year... this is going to be a fast and exciting year for all... so... a HAPPY new year to everyone... stay healthy, and enjoy the upcoming days of 2007!
for my teammates... 2007 is the final year for us, the graduating students to make our mark and do ourselves, coach, and school proud... so we gotta stick together and make our goal come true! and have this in our head... we're striving for west zone top 4...

as for myself... a new year comes with a new resolution... everyone should have set themselves one... if you don't, please do... it's a target that you are striving for this year... without it, there's not much motivation to do anything... mine would be to be a better guy, do well in my studies and play my basketball well... and of course, make more friends!!!
so happy new year everyone!!! lets make 2007 another memorable year for you and me!!!
