Stand Up. Sit Down

Human's existence

2010-01-23T00:03:00.000+08:00

The one most asked question : What happens after death.

We all know that is one unanswerable question. No one knows what is up for us after we cease existing in this very world. It is a section of life that no one have or will ever be able to venture to and then tell the story of it to any one of us. Should we go, it's only a one way ticket. Return ticket don't exist in this travel.

Is the unknown, the only one reason why human use all sorts of way, scientific or superstitious to try all their might to slow down any ageing symptoms that appear?
Until the point in time where they can only accept the fact then do they stop resisting nature.

What is it that we hope to achieve through slowing down all these life processes?
Is it the fear of being forgotten forever?
The fear that once you leave this earth, traces of you also stop existing and flows away as how your life did?

Humans try all their might to oppose the cycle. But yet, they still succumb to it some day. So why oppose it when all it does is that it takes you for an extra round of joyride and sends you back down to ground. Take life as it comes. We will all, someday, be forgotten from this world.

What is important is that we do find a routine, like going to church, or a particular day for something special, so that this routine as it goes down to your younger generation it becomes a tradition to follow. Through this, you'll always be remembered no matter what. This is definite. Existence goes beyond your own life. Greater than being alive is when people like your family follows a routine that you started and they keep it of high importance to follow it as you've done.

This little thoughts came as I read Mitch Albom's "Have a little faith". Not done yet, but it has food for thoughts for me already.

2009-10-23T01:57:00.000+08:00

Alright,

It's good.

Let what other's have perceived about me continue.

I've no qualms about it. I'm cool.

2009-10-22T23:42:00.002+08:00

Everything freaking ends tonight.

it's not doing me any good at all.

it's killing me as much as it's killing others.

waning interest in work. i don't like it anymore except for the monetary satisfaction.

say a goodbye.

2009-10-21T02:02:00.002+08:00

never ever leave without saying goodbyes.

it's rude and suggests that you've something to run away from.

never ever do that.

thoughts.

2009-10-20T02:15:00.001+08:00

humans are always known for their bravery and knowledge.

in times of adversity, people of different race, status, age all show out their true courage, selflessness and taking no regards for their own live to stretch out that very hand to save just one more life than their own.
or, in times of deep shit, people stand out to cover great mistakes just to protect their very loved ones.
i proudly salute to this side of humanity where they let go of everything else and have just that one single aim in mind, to protect each other.

humans are also well known for their cowardly actions and being god damned weak.

as much bravery and selflessness every single human has, there is also an equal amount of fear, coward acts and escapism.

people cowardly run away from mistakes they've done, be it a grave mistake that clashes with the law or not. most humans do this. it takes more than a human to actually have the courage to come to terms with their mistake.

others run away from other more minor stuff, be it inter-relations or whatever that seems like a huge stumbling block in their lives. this, i suppose is all the more true for the weaker people.

they can't measure for themselves what's good and what's not. they're easily wavered off their stance when something else seems good and reasonable comes knocking. they get themselves into this state of confusion and then starts to look for the exit sign from the very problem.

they who runs away, will never get stronger because they escape. escape seems so much more easier to everybody. even me. i choose to escape when i can. it seems like by escaping the problem meets a dead end and everything just vanishes into thin air.

my dear friend you, you are not weak by nature. its a choice you've made for yourself. should you choose to avoid, you're just going one big round and come back to face it another time. should you know what your stance is, you wouldn't even need to go that big round to search for whatever reasons you're looking for. but should escaping makes you a stronger willed person, then i'll congratulate you for that.

Humans.

2009-10-16T01:27:00.000+08:00

i like taking quiet bus rides home after work.
helps the quiet thoughts of life, people and myself to creep into my head.
on other times, i get crazy ideas about life and so.

today this came through my mind.
humans, they believe they're the descendants of apes. sometimes i beg to differ.
humans, they claim to be very complex. i disagree to this.
humans, they claim to be smart, we all know the facts.
humans are thirsty creatures. very very thirsty ones. ones that can never be satisfied no matter what.

humans always tell each other to be satisfied with what one have. i think its bullshit.
no single person can say that they're satisfied.
they claim to be satisfied, but its actually just a mask to hide away the urge to crave for more.

if vampires are proven to exist,
i'd say humans are scientifically another species of vampires. they, lust for blood. we, lust for almost everything that's available to vie for. power, money, women/men, and status.
the saying, 'the grass is always greener on the other side' pretty much came from the mouth of people who look for excuses to justify the fact that they're not contented.

humans, pretty much are like that. they don't think its wrong. it been like that since the start, so long that it's a subconscious thing to do that no one ever sees the wrong in thirsting for more.

i may be wrong in my thoughts, but from my very own eyes, the world's playing itself this way to me. i write what i see, i write what i hear, i write what i feel. judgement of people are never balanced. to me, this is what my judgement of humans is. even i see myself to be so.

it's been a while, time to update update. :)
been slogging my guts out for the past month and half at work. finally i've earned a week of good rest this week before the pandemonium of a new semester sets in.
first lesson of the semester, module upgrade of MPI/DEL. spells nightmare. gonna kill me off right at the very beginning of the semester.

hopped around orchard with cherry today for shopping. :) had a small shopping spree going on cause i've got my pay!! thus the willingness and little feeling of seeing the money go poof in matter of seconds. bought the few items that i've been itching to get. wallet, jeans, and belt.

gloria jean's after all the shopping before popping by nydc to get my tee from jo. headed home filled with satisfaction over the day's haul. next round would be SUNDAY! hah. :)

pissed to the max!!!

2009-10-01T14:13:00.000+08:00

went to jean yip for haircut. had been eager to get a new hairstyle for a change.
served by this fucking fat guy who then phone the hairstylist.
came one middle aged malay bitch who don't seem to have any idea of what i'm talking.
told her how i want it and she did a completely different thing. i said shaved and pointed to the bottom half of my hair. she happily shaved slope for me. FUCK! that goes for my sideburns as well. DOUBLE FUCK!!
am never gonna step into any jean yip salon anymore.

now i finally do understand one thing. going for the more expensive stuff sometimes don't give you the shit that you want. instead, they blow you away with a completely different thing and leave you there to screw yourself for choosing it. i just screwed myself. now on, i'm going to samantha's hairstylist. period.

Bintan~ Bintan~

2009-09-28T00:54:00.000+08:00

and so... No hong kong for now but at least there's still bintan.
well, it ain't that bad after all i guess! :)
at least i still get to go out of SINGAPORE. (does not include going to sentosa or ubin okay!)

3D2N of sand, water and indonesian food should be good for recharging my battery after a long 2009.
can't wait for it~ can't wait for it~ heh. hopefully everything can be settled quickly and we're good to go come december. *prays hard*

i've been working alot lately. nydc seems to like have become my second home. tsk. not a good sign.
will be trying my luck at the nike outlet next to big O and also that fred perry counter at tangs. see which of it will employ. its time to have a change of environment. have been in F&B for far too long. i need something new to give me that extra push to like my job. not finding that in F&B alrdy. retail here i come!!

life's other ideas.

2009-09-25T02:09:00.000+08:00

not too long ago. this is where i'm supposed to be heading to during the mid weeks of december.
but of course, as usual all the unexpected shit crept up and gave me one good sucker punch to the face.
THAT BLOODY WEEK I'M SUPPOSED TO GO TO HONG KONG IS ACTUALLY MY CT WEEK!
okay. so they cut short the december term break to 2 weeks. why would they do that? what's that for? it was 3 weeks for last year. and the school didn't even said anything regarding the matter. well, thank you NP. now you screwed my holiday trip.

and oh. coordinating travel plans is a hellish task. try imagining an airline website that quotes you 3 different prices for the exact same days you chose during a 20 minutes span you are on their website. freaky or what.

now i'm seriously convinced that more stuffs is gonna further complicate our travel plan that ultimately we're gonna scrap it. there goes my shopping and makan plans.

goodbye wanton noodle, dim sum, roasted meats, pineapple buns...

my good ol' companion, J.

2009-09-21T12:15:00.001+08:00

my old, trusty, reliable, always there companion/confidante/crap partner.
yeah mate. that's you. you know who you are. :)
this is just for you.

we don't talk much,
we hardly meet,
not even a photo to boast,
the only way we keep in touch is through this technology called sms and internet. how awesome's that?
yet we still share almost everything under the sun whenever we could. almost every thing. : p
how frequent is that? every few weeks? :)
you're still the best buddy i've known for years.

cheers mate. you are that treasure chest i've found on a lost island.

2009-09-13T16:16:00.003+08:00

i have hots for girls with bob hairstyle with streaks of brown-ish highlights.

ala victoria beckham style. attractive~

oh wait. she's gotta have a slight nice tanned skin too.

2009-08-10T22:12:00.001+08:00

youth cup updates

2009-06-19T02:47:00.002+08:00

okay, okay, okay. just a short update before i hit the sack.

its gonna be about the current youth cup I'm playing in.

my club drawn into group C in the first round along with ang mo kio youth, Kent ridge, millenia institute and min yi.

1st game: vs. Min Yi (lost);

2nd game: vs. Kent Ridge (won);

3rd game: vs. MI (won);

last game: vs. AMK Youth (TBA after 29th june 2009);

just so you guys know, only the top 2 of each group proceeds on, so the last match is a must win match. its either us or them that goes through to round 2. and, with our club's reputation at stake. we only have the option winning. losing is not a choice at all.

just went through photos of the national team's SEABA 4 nations matches from one of the team member's facebook account. suddenly a surge of passion seems to fill me. i want to train more. double everything even with a less-than competent knee. i'm not stopping until i hit all my goals.

next on my list: Div 1(mens) team.

its a big big gap between my current standard to the mens team standard as have coach said, but its worth the shot. just more sore legs, more cramps, more flushed out body, more aches, more vomits, and more faint spells. its worth it! its freaking worth it!

tomorrow there's training! haha.

oh ya. i failed MPI. dang. but its ok. I've predicted it anyway. work hard for term 2 and I'll be back on track. :)

goodnight. I'll be visiting the sleep angels for now.

my friday.

2009-05-22T23:50:00.002+08:00

had training.

i'm only supposed to defence and assists.

push up is fun.

eavesdropped after training.

some losers sat behind where me and team-mates ate.

home sweet home. :)

i love the last one best.

luck's on me

2009-05-13T01:27:00.003+08:00

HEY HEY HEY!!!

haha. its been a while since i updated. so, its time to update!

as most of you would've known. i've sprained my knee again some weeks back, and its quite bad. almost all the doctors and physio i have seen says that its possible that i have torn my ACL. ahh. a very bad news for me.

BUT BUT BUT. today was U-19 selection. guess what people! my knee didn't give way at all, and i managed to last through training. plus i'm in the team! one last year to play in the youth cup!!! ah~ seems like lady luck is on my side today. :) awesome. all thanks to the knee guard i bought yesterday. i've got a visit to the doc to look at my knee again in 3 weeks time, which happens to be a few days after the start of the youth cup.

so... hopefully doc will say that my knee isn't too much a problem, and physio would be sufficient to regain strength.

that's all. its just one of the lucky things i wanna mention.

bye people. i'm off to bed. lessons damn early tomorrow.

p/s hornets playing home united in semi tomorrow. i've just seen the big guys train so hard to stop the home u's offense. so lets pray to god that hornets will prevail. they're so into beating home u. lets not waste the hard work they've put in. GO HORNETS!

reflections.

2009-05-05T00:44:00.002+08:00

just a note.

i have alot to say, but its too late now.

i'll type it out tomorrow.

why i am writing this is because i just need to type.

p/s: till 87. you know it. this isn't changing. except that its now in a different form.

唉~

2009-04-25T01:39:00.002+08:00

怎麽會這樣呢？

這。。。因該不是你我想象出來的結果吧。

如果當時能預測到這些日子的不好受，

或許那時的我就會很理智的作出一個比較不一樣的選擇。

時間，是肯定不能倒流的。我們，又會在很近的將來裏有怎樣的發展呢？

是好，是坏，我不了。可是我會祈禱，希望它會是好。

開學的前一天，我發了瘋。唉~

2009-04-19T17:13:00.003+08:00

明天開學了！

我是因該興奮的，可是。。。我卻一點也不興奮。

新學期，新同學，新的交情。

希望第一天會過的順利。

加油！加油！加油！

我決定了。

我要到《名揚四海》的每一個拍攝場地。從台灣南部的墾丁往上游到台北。

知道這樣聼起來很笨，因爲一部電視劇而跑到台灣去。可是，就是想要去看一看啦。

就從現在起，慢慢的累積自己的儲蓄，等到工院畢業之後，就把它當成是畢業旅行后什麽的。

希望這一次能堅持守著這個念頭，不要到一半就把它給忘了。

因爲，我想上去那棟大樓的塔尖，看看整個臺北的畫面。

p/s 我說的塔尖，可不是那個台北101喔！

就這樣了。沒什麽想寫的了。不知道怎麽了，這幾天好像以華文來寫部落各。

奇怪，太奇怪了。哈！

感觸、想法。人

2009-04-14T01:50:00.006+08:00

“就是因為你太努力了，愛一個人是不需要用力的，真正愛一個人就像呼吸，是毫不費力的...........”

這一段對白，是部叫《名揚四海》的臺灣電視劇裏美麗與石頭的一段對白。是美麗對石頭提出分手的對白。

雖然每個人都非常清楚這一段話，但，又有幾個人后這麽做呢？很多時候，因爲很多的拉拉扯扯，很多的不捨使很多人都看不清楚這一點。有時候，儅一個人說愛得好累的時候，其實她已經沒有愛的感覺了。只是因爲對方而繼續下去的。可能自己不會察覺到，但儅那一絲的累，一絲的疲憊出現時，就是愛的重點了。不會再有延續，也不會有後退了。

當然，不是每個人都能像戯中的美麗和石頭這樣的結束一段戀情。因爲某种因素，使我們在有所考慮。譬如，有了孩子要照顧的家庭，或已經到了晚年的夫妻。可是，就因如此，才會使愛那麽的美妙。因爲，有時候的結束並非真正的結束，它只是一個被包裝起來的考驗。要一對男女一起走下人生的道路，不是輕而易舉的事。但，只要記得，之所以有這些不完美，才把這整個人生變得更加完美。

在整部《名揚四海》裏，每一段的情節都非常扣人心選弦。最特別就是美麗與石頭之間的。因爲太了解彼此，所以什麽都能做，朋友，死黨，但就是不能做男女朋友。因爲太了解所以看得出來對方的一舉一動，甚至還能察覺出對方的心情還有他在想著些什麽。我想，有時太了解一個人並非是好事。因爲它不致讓你清楚對方的一切，它也是一種心痛，辛酸的來源。因爲太了解，而察覺出來她已經不愛了，這。。。不就也是痛嗎？

戯裏當然不可能在現實生活上翻演，而，我們也因爲這樣而不去了解戯中所要表達的意思。可能這部戯很感人，因爲它就在現實與于虛構的邊緣。看起來非常真實，但其實不是。如果這部戯的每一段情節在現實生活中翻演，我想，不是每個人會演到戯的結局。因爲，裏頭的每一個情節，每一段感情，我們都不太了解，只知道它有快樂、有痛、有愛、有等待、期望、等等。我們不知道當我們遇到這些時，也會不會和角色的翻印一摸一樣，或者會產生不一樣的反應。

人呀，總是這樣。。。那麽的難理解，有時那麽的複雜，有時那麽的容易被看穿。因爲這樣的不完美，所以才形成我們。

2009-03-27T02:35:00.003+08:00

woooweee!

it's been sometime since i last had such a long chat with my old buddy, jazreel

*heh! feel honoured that i mentioned you right after we chat yeah. (:*

yeah, it's been long. cause buddy's been busy with tests.

spent the few hours reminiscing the old days. (:

and games as well.

haha. yups, that's what old buddies do once in a while.

its always nice to say, "想当年，we did this, we did that... blah blah"

who knows in the later stage of our lives, we'll even go down to a coffeeshop and chat through a cup of coffee or tea. haha!

cheers to our friendship! (: you've been great!

friday whineday.

2009-03-20T19:50:00.002+08:00

update update

2009-03-11T15:36:00.002+08:00

hello peopos!
i've away for quite sometime. cause i was too lazy to do any updating. haha.
seems like daily blogging has been a thing of the past. now, i'm way too lazy to constantly update anymore.

much have happened between the last post till now. i've been out to a number of places all around singapore with dear. tried out baking and stuffs as well, also i've been busy at work.

training's starting this sunday, so it will get more hectic from here onwards till the end of the youth cup, provided i make it into the team. also, i believe that year 2 is going to be hell for me too? haha fingers crossed that it won't be any tougher than year 1. i wish and pray for a slack life yeah. (:

2009-02-18T21:43:00.001+08:00

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE (:

spend the day with your loved ones (:

time to show a little bit more of your love to those you care for (:

and, today, i've just spent my day with my favourite love out at

flowery hortpark, followed by long and hot tree-top walk, heart to heart talk at henderson waves, and a mesmerizing sunset over on mt faber.

one word, 'memorable' (:

oh, loves. one day, we'll not spend our valentine's anywhere like where we went today, we'll spend it at the church i've promised you. just the 2 of us and no one else. (:

MONDAY!!!

2009-02-10T00:30:00.002+08:00

KELVIN IS A VERY HAPPY GUY ((:

*and only i know why am i so HAPPY!*

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

everything after a dose of drug

2009-02-01T19:01:00.002+08:00

I'm back (:

yeah,
have been on a hiatus because of the busy school work and the fact that i haven't got much to share.

i'm done with breaking dawn, the last book of the twilight series. and like every other stories, this one end with a 'happily ever after' ending. wonder how am i going to pass my time from now on, since there is no more twilight series for me to read.
talking about the story, the title of each books have this very special connection to one another.

like, twilight happens to be the time of which the sun is beyond the horizon but yet the shine still brightens sky so that we're able to see that nice orange-y red glow.

as it progresses, we get to see the moon, a new moon of the night,

then an eclipse is formed in the night, when the sun aligns in a straigh line with the moon.

finally after a long night of spectacular views, you'll see dawn breaking over the sky as another new day starts.

see the link between one another? (:

other than completing on the story, the chinese new year period wasn't much of an excitement. went to my grandma's house for visiting, then have relatives coming over to my aunt's house... boring boring.

steamboat dinner aka reunion dinner with hong keat, yong chin and steph on friday. sheesha right after that at haji lane. the lane itself.. nothing cool, maybe cause the shops are all closed, other than that, sheesha was.. alright. nothing special. just smoking flavoured air into your lungs. had two sheesha that night. one was without the tobacco, the second one with. couldn't see any difference between them, but for a try, it was something special.

the weekends are boring. didn't have much to do, stayed at home and rot. maybe i shld start with revision. soon.

urgh! hate it when i hear it. though i am supposed to be immune by it by this time, still when i hear it, i still get that spasms of unhappiness. it isn't anyone's fault, but... just can't control it. sorry uh.

OUCH!!!

2009-01-23T23:52:00.001+08:00

I FREAKING HELL CUT MY LAST FINGER ON THE RIGHT HAND...

FUCKING DEEP CUT. SOME EARLY CNY PRESENT FOR ME IS IT? WTH...

new moon... turning into an eclipse

2009-01-04T15:54:00.004+08:00

whoeey!!!
i've just finished with new moon... should be starting with eclipse say, next tuesday? when i meet with claire to get the book.

so... lets see, edward's back with bella, jacob's become like a total stranger to her. the two mortal enemies have a common goal now, to hunt down victoria. wonder how would the story continue in eclipse... can't wait can't wait. (:

i'm really not an usual guy. i don't see anyone close to my type being so engrossed in novel. especially these soapy love stories. i must have blown a fuse or two somewhere in my brain uh. haha.

i've finally had that mee rebus today. though i've got to wake up super duper early, travel from west to east just to get my ass there, it was worth all the trouble. (:
seems like vegan mee rebus haven't got much difference from the normal ones. except maybe a tad too much of ginger shreds? or at least i thought those crunchy stuffs taste like ginger. the vegan bee hoon is a close fight with the one i usually have at redhill too.

all these can be found under a super old/run down coffeeshop at ubi's housing estate. i must say, that coffeeshop totally don't belong to the whole HDB flat structure. everything else seems more modern than the shop itself.

oh! by the way, it also have a stall selling those roasted meats and they look convincingly tasty too, i didn't try, cause my agenda there was their mee rebus, not roasted meats. (:

home by bus after mee rebus. i was freakishly bloated. damn my garfield appetite. one day i'm gonna land myself in hospital just because i gorge like how garfield does it.

and thou shall name gorging, "doing a garfield" (: ; sweet!

work, old friend and best friend

2009-01-03T11:37:00.003+08:00

yesterday was my last day working at heeren ny, starting from next week onwards, i'll be up at diners.
nothing much to be excited about cause i'm not looking forward to my stay up there. most probably i'll leave in about a month or two.
work yesterday was hell of a bore. kah leong, kai wei, shairul and me were like stoning 3/4 of our time there while big sister ju was texting away.
jade 'complemented' that i was a tweet(or something like that luh), whatever does that mean? anyone care to explain the meaning to me?
dinner over at geylang with claire. thought that jane was coming, but in the end she left for home. had char kway teow cravings thanks to kai wei. so ate that at some coffeeshop by the road as best friend and i chat a little bit. it was the last day we 2 are colleagues ): won't get to meet that much often after this i guess. i'll miss you more (:

AND,

SMARTY OLD FRIEND! you're not forgotten. don't worry, i won't forget that i have an old friend of 6 years plus ok! (:

that's was pretty much what i want to write about.
bye peeps,
enjoy the weekend. school starts next monday ):
but i'll be catching my long post-poned twilight on tuesday, hopefully it won't get postponed yet again. ((:

2009, a brand new beginning

2009-01-02T11:22:00.002+08:00

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!

i haven't got much to blog anyway. yeah. just happy new year.

christmas-y joy

2008-12-29T00:43:00.005+08:00

hello people!

had a alright christmas week. spent my tuesday with best friend's cousin at sentosa going around the tourist attractions, work on eve and drank with ny peeps after work. christmas was over at steph's house with the company of hong keat, ying qi and yong chin. ate prata with claire's cousin before they depart from singapore on friday. funny group of people. i like them (:

waste away my day yesterday and today doing nothing. i should sleep early today, i feel tired.
oh btw, i'm very into the twilight series. i'm like finishing twilight soon, and going on to the 2nd book real soon. shall get it from claire when i see her again.

la~

yesterday night was awkward. as much as i try to take it lightly, it was much of an useless attempt. why does everyone have to care. if he doesn't flinch a muscle, so be it. why does everyone have to be so concerned about it? close doesn't mean anything. why does everyone have to be so uptight about it? its not like i'm not harbouring any ulterior motives or whatsoever.

i don't know, perhaps i'm just a weakling when it comes to these stuffs.

holidays are freaking boring...

2008-12-16T10:22:00.002+08:00

oh! so the holidays is here. yet all the hype,excitement and anticipation of this holidays are gone. here i am, bored to death at home. the past 2 days were spent lazing around home, stoning here, chatting there.

luckily, there is excitement coming up tomorrow and thursday.

rewind and unwind

2008-12-10T20:46:00.004+08:00

woah. bloggy bloggy. i'm back here to update!!!

lots of stuffs have been happening over the last week (:

lets rewind back to last tues.
catched quarantine at vivo with claire after lessons. the show was bloody X 10^123456789.
the whole show was about people infected with this super rabies going around attacking people living in this apartment. mygod. all the blood splattering about. urgh... made me almost wanna puke right after the show. claire was even worse? squeezed my hand so hard as if it was some stress ball.
had a cuppa starbucks and a little hearty chat straight after to calm our shaken nerves. hah.

saturday was suay-ness. bang my head onto the freaking oven door as i cleared up the mess i made shortly before. -.- had this big swell at the back of my head. PAIN SIA! its was so pain that i actually stoned for a while to wait for the pain to subside.

sunday. gym session with joash! met kelvin yeo(my idol & mentor) and teck how at interchange. they were heading to the gym as well -.- stress sia, have gym with my ball seniors. but in the end, it was more of a motivation, joash and i lifted heavier weight than we usually do and we were super satisfied at the end of the session. (:

out with claire again for the past 2 days. went to watch bolt on monday! BOLT IS SUPER DUPER CUTE! i want to have a dog just like bolt. haha.
studied together yesterday at KAP before my test. after test, chilled at island creamery before she meets her bf for dinner. I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY BESTEST FRIEND, fishball cheeks(:, makes one feel relaxed. (:

bestest will be out of town for 2 weeks starting this friday ):

salads salads. ):

2008-12-01T16:30:00.002+08:00

KELVIN'S GONNA EAT SALADS TOMORROW ):

omg!!! can i don't? i don't wanna eat...

got to rush on my work this week. CT is coming up like next week. revisions starts today, starting with EG2. this week kelvin's gonna be a study freak. everyday, hour, minute, i'll be reading and studying. all the best to me yea!

nothing much to update these days. i'm tired.

i'm going haywire soon, but yet, i enjoy the feeling whenever it comes. tell me a solution please...

2008-11-26T00:16:00.002+08:00

kelvin studied hard yesterday night, and was rewarded today!

i know how to answer almost all of the AEL quiz today!!! except for one 2 careless mistakes that will cause a deduction of 4 points. -.- nevertheless, i'm satisfied cause i made the effort to study and i know how to do the questions (:

was super duper late for school today. but still managed to catch up with the practical. slacked at soccer room whilst waiting for yong chin and stephanie. as usual, i went there to nap. that place always so comfortable to nap in. continued to fall in and out of sleep during EG2 and DEL.

kelvin ate a very very special lunch today when he got home (: yum yum. and he'll be having the same thing for the rest of the week.

common test is in 2 weeks time! start revisions people! anyone wanna go out and study with me? (:

2008-11-24T22:43:00.002+08:00

i'm studying super hard for AEL test right now yeah.

It's been quite a while since i updated eh? anyone missed me? haha.

okok, anyway, the past week have been full of ups and down as well as alot of revelation.
i'm finally coming terms with some things luh, so i'm very very close to fully operational. (haha, sound like i'm some machinery)

school have been plain boring. exams are coming up, so i've gotta start to revise for my modules. especially the one that i'm studying right now. with that old man as my lecturer, i would be surprised i'll pass just by listening to him.

today, i had a flashback of chelsea's champions league final against manchester united. to be exact, the moment when john terry missed that faithful penalty, plus i've also understood how JT have felt when he realises that part of the lost on that night was down to his shot hitting the post. oooh, i tell you, that feeling is super bad. the mix of regret, sorry, and lost feeling is very overwhelming. and the past week, i've tasted that regret and lost feeling. urgh... it's like eating the food you hated most. totally unbearable.

'don't do things that you'll end up regretting and grab chances when it comes, or else don't start to regret when it passed by' as said by wise kelvin (:

okok. i've posted what i want to say. i'm back to my AEL.

peeps, i'm not emo okay. so don't start to text me asking me to cheer up. i just want to write it out that's all.

2008-11-19T18:30:00.005+08:00

Hello peeps.

i've got 2 things to say on this post okay.

firstly, i want to say that
beware for what you peeps wish for alright, cause,

THE OLD KELVIN'S BACK!!!

don't worry, i'm back to that noisy, crappy and annoying kelvin that you all known for years. so don't regret that what you wished came true ok

Thanks a zillion to all those who noticed that i was down and out yesterday and tried their best to cheer me up. actually there wasn't many luh, it was like only 2 of em'

the LONG FRIEND of MINE aka Jazreel, who came online to chat with me after months (:(: i've gone dusty whilst waiting for you to have time to chat with me you know? and the bestest fishball cheeks (: who tried her best to cheer me up with exercises and a story. THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I'm alright already yeah! don't worry. i'm a sunny bright boy, so emo is only for a while. everything went off in a puff after my weekly run around neighbourhood. my mind is super clear now, no more heavy heart or whatsoever. (:

from tonight onward, you'll get to talk to a normal kelvin. haven't got back to the stage of being happy luh, still better than facing an emo kelvin right? haha.

cheers people.

oh ya, i've deleted that previous post of being down. doesn't matter anymore, so that post doesn't have a place in this happy happy blog. (:

2008-11-18T23:38:00.002+08:00

finally!

my long time friend chat with me after so long. though not really a lengthy conersation, but its a good start.
hope we'll get many more chances to chat, since friend is having holidays now, and next year she'll be super busy with A levels, so this period of time, gotta chat more to make up for the time lost next year.

I want to run, gym, ball and lastly go drink. any kind souls willing to accompany?

18th birthday.

2008-11-16T08:36:00.006+08:00

oh ya. it's my birthday today! i'm officially 18. lotsa thing that i'll be able to do without fear of getting caught by police? haha.

spent the whole of yesterday working at nydc. left at 11pm with fishball cheeks. headed to geylang for beef kway teow and carrot cake. i haven't ate the whole day, so that meal was like my first. fishball cheeks was the first to wish me happy birthday! then wils, and joash followed. don't know why when i saw wils' message, i felt happy? like so rare he'll text me.
headed down to kallang leisure park to look for a mac to sit down and chat with fishball cheeks, we ended up walking for 45 mins from the beef kway teow shop to the mac, cause we couldn't find it plus it wasn't near to the leisure park at all. fishball cheeks got me a slice of brownie as my birthday cake. aww~ i almost teared luh! so long never had someone getting me cake for my birthday. THANKS! FISHBALL CHEEKS(:

left mac at 3, walked fishball cheeks home then cabbed home myself.

today, i'm gonna get my new phone! my current phone is like a crap. maybe will meet fishball cheeks again for a meal later. shall pass andrew the jeans and t-shirt in the noon. :)

happy birthday to me again :)

a year older, a tad wiser. haha

hey long friend, i was expecting you to be one of the first few to text me, got bit disappointed when i didn't receive your message. i've suddenly realised we haven't really contacted each other since the last time we met. is the long friend title going to turn into distant friend soon? i hope not uh. let's have a good chat someday soon. :)

150th post :)

2008-11-13T18:20:00.003+08:00

i didn't go to school today, just like i didn't attend the morning lecture yesterday. i'm getting from bad to worse. i'll be praying that this crap shit will stop by end of the week and next week i'll attend lesson full of energy.

monday:

IAC presentation and COMT lecture. stupid IAC lecturer, says he's going to be leniet to the first group but yet gave us a D for our presentation. not to mention he yawned when we presented. bloody old botak dictionary man. i still remember him showing off pictures of him and the dictionary that he produced. work after school. as usual, han jie cooked and i ate. these days, i've been feeling very fortunate. no red shirt in kitchen + (han jie or parthiban) = very satisfied and full kelvin. :)

tuesday:

DEL practical, was late for 10 minutes, did practical in half an hour, bus-ed back home to put my laptop cause i remembered wrongly about when EG2 needs lappy. had a disastrous AEL quiz then lunched at canteen 1, followed by dry & boring & sleepy AEL, EG2, DEL lecture.

after school!!! FLYER TIME! headed down to city hall to meet up with claire, headed down to marina square and dinnered together. laksa and veg. fried rice. walked all the way to flyer, tickets and off we go! i was as usual, super scared when the flyer is going upwards. in fact super scared. but after it went over the peak and down, not that scared anymore luh. X) overall its nice to look at building, scenery from such a height. had chocolate ice cream, chat for a bit, then headed down to geylang for rochor beancurd. i ACTUALLY eat BEANCURD! haha. ok luh, it wasn't that bad.

wednesday:

drinking session at NYDC with ridzwan, han jie, jackson, alywin, herr song, and galvin. drank too much that i skipped school the next day. -.- serves me right uh. haha

friday:
school-ed then to wei yang's house for bbq. played indian poker, blackjack and chilled after we ate. home at 11 plus.

2008-11-07T23:30:00.004+08:00

where meatball cheeks went with fishball cheeks :) on wednesday!
cityhall to marinaSquare to
suntec to mcCafe to cinema to
Singapore flyer to esplanade rooftop garden
to bus stop to chinatown.

what we did there:
kolo mee with lime juice and water chesnut drink.
hotel626 with double chocolate frappe.
Coffin with fingernail marks. :S
fats burned from walking from suntec to singapore flyer to esplanade rooftop.
5-10 game on rooftop.
bus exhaust :X at bus stop.

and Singapore Flyer ride next tuesday with fishball cheeks!!! woo hoo!!!

another weeks passing by

2008-11-04T20:12:00.002+08:00

yes. another week has passed by since i last posted anything.

the remaining of the week for last week was so boring that i've decided not to post anything about it.

had IS e-learning yesterday, meaning i don't have to go school. but! i still woke up darn early yersterday, just to meet claire for breakfast at j8. what we had? kaya toast and eggs. walked around before going home whilst she went for class. oh ya. after i got home from work yesterday night, then i realise that i haven't done the IS things! my npmail has 3 emails from the 2 IS modules lecturer telling to go do the assignment on MEL. haha, but i'm gonna leave it till friday. cause deadline is on friday. ^.^

today. was supposed to have match with oswa and gang at dunearn after lessons, but thanks to the rain, it was cancelled. waste my energy carrying all the stuff to school and back home. -.-
lessons was boring as usual. DEL was crappy. after 2 chapters at it. i'm still lost like some mountain tortoise... great! i can envision myself retaking the module again next year. argh.

tomorrow's lessons going to be short short one. meeting fishball cheeks again at noon. don't know what she want to do, we'll decide tomorrow. oh! i actually told her that i'll be a vegan for a day tomorrow. HAHA!!! green kelvin. no meat! healthy healthy!!! lols. i'm lame...

anyway, though common test is like a month away, i'm starting to feel the pressure. especially DEL. i just couldn't make any sense of what dennis tam is teaching. luckily for AEL, i can understand what they are trying to teach, from the book. otherwise... good luck to me. its like a repeat of last sem, where, EG2 is the only thing that i'm coping extremely well with. the rest. frigging shit.

come on kelvin. start studying start studying... people go out and study with me ok....

that's all. i don't have much to write about these days cause there's nothing exciting about school.

tuesday's blues

2008-10-28T22:20:00.003+08:00

went to school to have lessons, suddenly realised that i've problems with my AEL and DEL. listened to class but yet still can't figure out what the hell is the lecturer blabbering about. omg. i don't want to repeat these 2 modules next year, that will be like super shit luh!

DEL practical: easy weesy, done in an hour time, had ample time to have my breakfast at canteen 2.
AEL tutorial: scratch head session, couldn't figure out how the calculations are done. AEL lecture was one tad worse. zener diodes are wrecking me. all the different current values, voltage values. and even the inequalities are messy to me.
EG2: the differentiation was easy till i got lost in the chain rule thing for a moment, was about to text wils' to ask for his add.maths textbook, but in the end i didn't copied down lin jie's notes, then went to library to do my tutorial and that was when the doubts and lostness was cleared, whilst waiting for claire to come down to np.
DEL tutorial: was all about drawing boolean interpretation of logic gates, and simplification of the input values.

claire came down today to np for her np tour. walked from block 72, to 50, to 18, to sports complex, to ECE blocks, to library. end of tour. she was so fascinated at np, while i was complaining about how boring np is. chat alot about the different polys she went to visit, crap here and there, etc. bus-ed together to clementi mrt and parted ways.

tomorrow will be a crappy day. lessons ending at 6pm!!! let's hope the lessons won't be so dull. and that i understand what the teachers are trying to say.

that's all for today folks. i'm off to get my mango juice.

=)

2008-10-26T21:14:00.003+08:00

it's been an ultra boring week for me. school's a bore. and...

one thing that i've come to realise about poly peeps. some of them do maths at the pace of a tortoise. must be the 'training' i've had during my secondary days in dunearn. everyone is like super fast in maths, i'm always the lagging one, not to mention that my maths in secondary sucks. especially Add.maths. but after coming to poly, i've suddenly realise that those maths subject that i used to struggle on have become super simple. even differentiation, alas only the beginning part, i could do with ease. a good sign for me maybe?

friday's work was uhmm, boring? cause there was too little order for me to consider it to be busy. and i was standing at the oven for the whole night. sauna to the face! haha, whenever i open the oven door, hot air just came rushing, blowing onto my poor face, then i'll like "woah~"

yesterday rot at home the whole day. was supposed to ball, but was cancelled due to low attendance. so woke up at noon, close to 1, went online and started chatting with claire. i think the whole day of yesterday was spent chatting with claire. omg... what a waste of my saturday. *claire, waste of my saturday isn't implying that chatting with you is a waste of time, but rather more general as in i've not done anything more useful other than chatting. you get it right??*

today. gym-ed with joash and joel at choa chu kang stadium. chiong-ed on our biceps, triceps and chest. we only spent an hour and a half there, and by the time we're done, none of us wasn't complaining about the soreness in our arms. :) mrt-ed to vivo to meet my aunt for lunch at the seafood restaurant. it was supposed to be famous for its chilli crab, but yet the chilli crab wasn't spicy at all. waste of money, think i could cook better than em' went to shop with aunt, she's looking for some jeans, brought her to club marc, then to zara. in the end, it was me who bought a pair of jeans from zara rather than her buying. haha. YAY! i'm done with all the things i need to buy!

OH GREAT. L'Pool is leading Chelsea by a goal from xabi alonso. DANG! Chelsea please scored back to equalise... don't break the 86 games unbeaten home run. and bear in mind of the 3 points. praying~praying~

my saturday of friends,basketball and chelsea :)

2008-10-19T12:30:00.004+08:00

Hey yo!

actually this post was meant to be posted yesterday, but got quite engrossed in msn-ing with friends that i forgotten all about it.

yesterday was HELL FUN!!! went to play ball at yew tee cc with kim guan, wei yang, jabron and his friends AND AND, the 2 guys that i haven't met in donkey months, JOEL LIM and OSWA. haha. i got so high when i saw them. :):) its always nice meeting old mates.
lunch-ed at kfc before heading down to the cc
stanley came short while after we started playing. stanley, though stopped playing ball competitively, but his pick and roll is still ever so good. he's my new found idol? haha. fit, hardworking,humble.
played till 4 plus then it started to rain, so left yew tee with joel first, the rest went to get drinks. dined at lot 1 before heading home via panjang as usual.

log onto net to catch chelsea's match against middlesbrough at around 8. first half was okay, kalou scored and that's it. i almost wanted to close the window, but smiley claire came online and chat with me, so it sort of wake me up and i continued to watch the match.
2nd half was pure entertainment man! kalou's tap-in and belletti's 30-yard screamer(both in the space of 2 minutes!), lampard's header, and malouda's final goal made it 5-0 in chelsea's favour. :)
and chelsea's passing was like so good that yesterday's match was a computer game, people would have thought that chelsea was using cheat codes. they were passing so efficiently, finding gaps here and there, counter attacking with blitzkrieg speed. awww. it's just so nice to watch the match yesterday :))

continued to chat till around 12.30 before going to bed.

woke up around 12.30 today. haha. may/may not be going out today. we'll see yeah!

地球變了。哈哈！

2008-10-15T22:32:00.004+08:00

又有那種突如其來的衝動要寫華語。。。

今天，如往常一樣。我上課遲到。死性不改的坏習慣 =.=
到了班上，老師已經開始在教課。開課的第三天，我已經覺得我每堂課的老師都很會催眠。聼沒兩下子，眼睛就開始不停的眨，不久，就睡着了。唉~老師們，不要整天老實催眠，不然的話我就沒辦法好好上課了。

上完了上半天的課，就和那群舊同學一起到麥儅勞吃午餐。突然覺得，那時我們還在同個班時，不見得每天都見面，出去。現在分班了，卻天天都恨不得要見到彼此。所謂的；“失去了才懂得珍惜”不過這樣也好，因爲我在班上，除了林傑，其他人我都不認識，有那般就哥兒們一起陪我吃也算種幸福。吃完了到圖書館看足球。看到3點才會去上課。

回到班上，開了電腦，摸來摸去，玩遊戲，上網。發現已經過了半小時，老師都還沒來。在等半小時，老師依然不見蹤影。到這時，已經有好幾個學生升起的走掉了。我嗎，算是個好學生，決定再等多一個小時。結果，老師還是沒來。看到，yong chin, christine, 還有hong keat 到我班來，才開始收拾，準備走人。儅學生那麽就，一直以來我只聼過學生芳老師鴿子，難道現在老師也學聰明了？老師放學生鴿子。哈哈。世界真的變了。

唉~ 希望明天的課不會那麽得糟。老師也最好不要在催眠了。拜托拜托！！！

now = boring + rotting!

2008-10-14T11:02:00.002+08:00

i'm having the first of my 2 hours break in the library doing nothing.
meeting stephanie and yong chin for lunch at 12. after which will be another 3 hours of lecture.

andrew's working today, so got nobody to meet up after 4. sad. thought i could have people to accompany me to get my stuffs at town. dang! guess i've got to go all by myself.

class for the first 3 hours was total boredom. everything is about introduction to the new modules. gotta brace myself for another 3 hours of boredom right after break. how i wish the holidays just continues~ then i can just work, play, slack.

anyone interested in balling in the evening tomorrow or friday and saturday morning?

2008-10-13T21:25:00.002+08:00

SCHOOL'S UPSIDE DOWN.

never realised that IAC and COMT can be such a heavy modules. first day of school and i already have a presentation to complete by next week. sian to the core.

will meet the classmates i'm having for the next 2 1/2 years tomorrow.
hopefully they will be nice and friendly. otherwise, i'll have to survive with looking at lin jie for the rest of my 2 1/2 years in school.

2008-10-13T01:30:00.002+08:00

later at 10 am is START OF SCHOOL!!! omfg!

and first lesson of the semester: IS ( IAC and COMT ). double sian-ness.
anyway, worked full shift today. FULL SHIFT. i'm dead beat now, but still can't go to sleep.
made a new friend at work! haha, her name's claire. smiley smiley girl. haha.

I'M STILL NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO NEW SEMESTER!!!!

2008-10-05T15:00:00.004+08:00

i'm lying on my bed.

today is a boring day, which i'm gonna spend on work later.

the week after next is school reopen time. i'm so not looking forward to that. have to make friends all over again, this and that. i hate those times when you're unfamiliar with the rest of the people, and they give you that cold cold look. kind of makes me go into defensive mode, meaning, i give them that cold look back. it'll be a tough week in the first week of school. sigh. lucks to me in advance!

Glory of the nation

2008-10-02T04:00:00.002+08:00

i happened to visit gary's blog just now and came upon one of his older post,
here's an excerpt from the post "he said that the national team condition was bad.. not many players went for training... some players had also quit from the team" the above mentioned "he" happens to be michael wong

this is what i want to say/ have to say. the moment i read the content of the blog, one thing came to my mind, the USA olympics mens basketball team of 2004. where most of the cash-rich NBA superstars chose to pass on the chance to represent USA in the olympics, results was, USA only managed to get a measly bronze in a sports that they have always dominated in the olympics. to the extent that in this year's beijing olympics, they were dubbed the 'redemption team'.

i simply don't understand why people who are privileged to be chosen for the national team can skip training or even choose to quit. of course the national team trainings are tough, which national trainings aren't anyway. but if you are at a national team level, obviously their training is of the level which you can handle right? and can anyone please enlighten me of why would people want to quit representing your country? of course unless you are already beyond the peak of your game and you feel that its time to step down, otherwise, i really feel you should give it all for your country. i'm not trying to be patriotic here, but just trying to make a point.

like what gary mentioned, there's only certain thing that you can do whilst you have the youth and energy. missed it, and there won't be a second shot at it anymore.

for me, i play basketball, go through tough trainings, just to inch myself closer to be in the national team (of course i still have quite a long way to go) but, i'm just trying to say that shouldn't it be the happiest thing to represent you country in the sport that you loved playing?

2008-09-29T11:07:00.002+08:00

this is almost close to random, but yet it felt important.

Saturday's loser bracket game against yio chu kang csc was the final match for clementi csc's inter constituency games journey. was thrashed by nanyang csc on the first round, went into the loser bracket, and the rest was history.

but some good to be taken out from the lost, i'm beginning to score points. most importantly that 3 pointer, my first in all the competitive match i played so far. i'm getting more comfortable with the point guard role, maybe positioning wise and choices of pass that needs major tweaking. but as they say, these things you'll get with more match exposure and court time. which i believe i'll get in the near future.

after the day's match, i'm seriously seriously beginning to feel i miss trainings, no, not hornets' training for youth cup, but dunearn's training with coach ming xiang. it was the days when i pushed myself to the limit. it was then, that i progressed so well in terms of defense. i loved to defense, that is my forte. but not, over the youth cup and inter cons games, my defense was a stark difference from what it had used to be. my defense suck! big time!

i want training, i wouldn't mind dying after every single session of hornets' training with the big guys. what's important is that i get back my defense. cause in the whole of basketball, that is what i like doing, and what i know i do best when i'm at my peak. i do like scoring, but not getting in the score sheet isn't really important, cause i know whatever team i'm in, there is 11 other teammates who can score, and score better than me.

before that, maybe i should start to at least make it a point to head down to yew tee cc every tuesday and friday to play with the hornets' guys, to polish up bit of my point guard position first.

i want to improve. i want basketball to lead my life.

好久沒一華文來寫部落各了~
這裡向大家介紹一首很有feel的歌。

《依然。親愛的》 by AT17 (feat 林嘉欣)

那年那遇見的一天你我彷似從沒有分若你在天多冷都很暖

(你話你想一齊開間老人院
到老左無人要大家都可以照顧大家
你話你鍾意關淑怡我話我鍾意林憶蓮
我地竟然傻到用曬d零用錢嚮karaoke全日淨係唱佢地d歌
如果係宜家你仲會唔會…'
會唔會咁陪我呀？）

難得一切有她伴我
只想共她三天不出家門
oh… 這時間可慵懶不用怕

怎麼都不會怕難得（喂？）一切有她伴我（做緊咩？）
只想共她（係…好耐無見…）三天不出家門（你有無時間丫？）
oh… 這時間可慵懶（um…）
不用怕怎麼都不會怕（咁…唔緊要……下次先）

um... 要注意聼嘉欣的對白。因該聼得出一種很特別的feel吧？
接下來的幾天，我也會以華文寫post.

2008-09-23T01:42:00.002+08:00

worked today. chinese wedding, 26 tables + 2 VIP, one phrase to describe today's work: piece of cake.
as usual, i'm the runner, busy busy during set up, slack during dinner and closing. :) worked at legends for so long, this is the few rare times that work is slack to the max.
ate the extra food, then home.

the lame joke that sam shared with kevin and me on our cab ride home,

what do you call a blind deer?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
no idea->(no eye deer)

next, what do you call a paralysed and blind deer?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
still no idea (still no eye deer) *where still means not moving*

and lastly, what do you call a deer that is blind, paralysed and unable to have sex?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
still fucking no idea (still fucking no eye deer).

ok, if u still can't get it, try telling this to someone and maybe you'll eventually get the joke. :) enjoy!

BASKETBALL DAY!!!

2008-09-17T23:55:00.003+08:00

today was super super fun!

woke up early in the morning, went school to take the appeal form. then headed down to lucky plaza with joash to meet up with kah leong, wilson and anthony for nasi ayam penyet. food was nice, but it was breast meat thus the meat wasn't that fabulous.

bus-ed back to cck to meet up with zhi jie and kim guan before heading to yew tee cc to ball. wei yang arrived first, then pei zhen arrived shortly after we started to play. then at around 5 plus hui han came over. balled till close to 7pm before heading to cck cc to continue. pei zhen was totally being bullied by zhi jie and hui han all the way from yew tee till cck cc. haha. me, i'm an angel, i don't bully people :)

balled till 9 plus, parted ways with zhi jie and pei zhen at cck interchange.

PEOPLE READ: I HAD FUN BALLING TODAY. the feeling was superb to be able to drive and shoot. THANKS PEI ZHEN, ZHI JIE, HUI HAN, WEI YANG, KIM GUAN for accompanying me play:) :) appreciated. and and call me to ball again soon!!!!
PZ READ: thank you luh! haha, now then realise i good right? never bully u! ahaha. ball soon alrites!

new found love

2008-09-17T09:52:00.002+08:00

OH YAY!!!

READ: I've finally got my hands on that ipod classic 80gb that i've wanted for thiiiiiisssss long.
haha. and i've got it for a steal cause apple's releasing the new 120gb version.
READ ALSO: it costs me $295.20 ONLY!!! got the urge to get one? find it cheap? GO DOWN TO epi centre at suntec city or wheelock place NOW!!! cause there only limited sets left!

anyway, i've spent the whole of yesterday night figuring how to transfer movie into the ipod. argh. the syncing is like S-L-O-W. i can even nap while its loading.

2008-09-15T09:40:00.002+08:00

ARGH! FUCK!!!

and so, i've finally received my first semester's result. which i'm super unhappy about.
i ONLY scored 3.4 for my GPA?! not even a 3.5?? ok, which donkeys told me that by scoring all Bs you can get a GPA of 3.5?? apparently, even with an A+, mine is only a MEASLY, FREAKING 3.4 can??

one word to describe this: DISAPPOINTING!!!

maybe i should not sleep that much during lectures anymore?
with whatever regard, i'm going to appeal for AE and AT, whichever that has spaces. ECE is absolutely a no go for me. even though it has an aerospace elective. cause after all its ONLY an elective.

2008-09-13T01:19:00.003+08:00

nothing much to post, except,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO

day off... at home

2008-09-04T14:14:00.002+08:00

today's my day off in my first week of work.

worked consecutive 2 days closing. and from tomorrow i'll be working 2 consecutive opening shifts. much to be learned but i'm getting the hang of it. menu wise, should be quite alright with it. i guess. yesterday finally saw one of the kitchen in-charge at work. kee lim i think was his name.*pardon if the name is spelt wrongly* nice guy, slowly taught me how to prepare the oven-baked and pizzas. he's a malaysian, got the strong accent and his face reminds me of clement. lols.

i woke up at 1.30 today. am gonna continue watching Karena's movie. the past few days have been spent watching some other japanese shows, so now must go watch her movies again.

i'm getting worse too, from using my laptop in the living room, to using it at dining table, to now, using it on my bed.haha...
anyway, that's all for today. will check if the other mates going down to yew tee tomorrow. i wanna play ball... at yew tee, with my mates.

2008-09-03T00:40:00.002+08:00

woah~

finally finished my first day of work. great day. not much customer, so quite relaxed.
but gotta memorise the hot dishes menu, and the ingredients that make up the dishes. work place kinda cramped, but i'm fine with that.

ate a pizza made by kah leong, not bad lah~ haha. work today rather interesting, learnt how to prepare spaghetti today. wonder what will i do tomorrow??

OH YA!
one bad news and one good news.

bad news. Manchester City beat Chelsea to sign Robinho from Real Madrid for 32 million pounds. bloody hell. he was supposed to signed for Chelsea. damn Real Madrid. may they lose all their league games, and get kicked out of champions league by losing their group stages. plus, Chelsea's next match will be against Manchester City. WTH! nevermind, Chelsea will beat Man City regardless of Robinho or not.

good news!!! just read from Karena's forum, she's got a new role in the sequel of 《爱情呼叫转移》, titled 《爱情左灯右行》. in which she will act with 12 different guys. about the story, i haven't read the whole post. update when i finished reading the post. OMG... acting with 12 different guys. those 12 guys are some lucky ass-es. if only i got the chance to act with her. haha i think i'll go crazy. can't wait to get more news on her latest movie. hopefully the upcoming candy rain will be screened in singapore. *pray pray*

ciao, off to watch movie.

work work work!

2008-09-01T23:01:00.003+08:00

andand, i'll be working 4 days this weeks! triple joy!!!

i'll be working in the kitchen! away from the customers, and great! i can cook, alas its more microwave heating of food. but i'm fine yea!

away from 7pm to 12am!

don't miss me!

yesterday = primary school day

2008-08-30T22:13:00.009+08:00

Yeah~ I slept at around 4am the night before. so i dozed till around noon or something till joash's call woke me up.
He asked me whether i want to go back dunearn, but said no. lunch-ed at home whilst trying to confirm if wai kin and the other mates are going yew tee to play ball at night. in the end no one goes. argh~

headed down to vivo to get my new braziliano praia. Got the yellow strap and black base one!!! haha. see! i'm 100% into Eng Tat Hornets ok. even my sandal also follow the club colour. hah!

rushed down to jurong east. met up with jackson then the rest. surprised to see yu hui there, cause in my memory, she haven't appeared for any gathering before. but, its always good to have a first. haha. saw peirong with her E1 friend walking past, so said hello to her. :) haven't seen her in ages. the last one was when we collected our o levels results.

walked to fuhua primary to find mrs tan and mr tan. *no, the 2 are not related in any manner, only colleagues.*
chat alot with mrs tan. she's surprised to see me. cause my last visit was like in sec2, after 2 years, i finally showed up again. hah. had a long reminiscence of our primary school days. there were some of the rather amusing things that each of us remember and sharing it out yesterday, we all laughed at how amusing we can be when we were younger. young minds, childish, immaturity, etc. but that's part of growing. its always nice when you get to say: "啊！想当年... blah blah blah" confirm to get a good laugh on remembering your younger days.

briefly met with mrs guna, she was the others' primary 3 teachers, but she knows me though. so talked for a while before we make our way out. at the gate, met with the beloved mr chua! hah, the strict OM of my primary school. now after close to 5 years, he looked more fatherly to me. maybe because of age, but he's still the good old, nice, funny mr chua. i remembered the only thing i would look for him is to borrow his basketball he has in his office.

went for dinner at IMM, kemin met up with us. dined at this hong kong styled 茶餐厅. after that went up to the open garden to have somemore pictures. played at the water fountain for a while, chit chat again, then headed home at around 10 or so.

so, ying ying, our elected gathering co-ordinator said to meet up again during the midsummer festival. so we'll meet again then. :) it’s always nice to meet up with your primary school friends once in a while. gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. :):) love it.

and so, the pictures courtesy of hong wei, the appointed photographer for 6A.
you're seeing 8 of the 30 something 6A of 2003.
back row(L to R): Daniel, Mr Tan, Shiang Ming, Mrs Tan, Jackson, Hong Wei
front row(L to R): Yu Hui, Ying Ying, Zhi Hao, Me
Haha, i thought i wouldn't be in that pic, but ah~ so now everyone knows that i was that person who was disturbing. haha!!! Everyone busy eating or drinking. but the main thing of this picture is the tall glass of lemon tea. wait. or is it lime tea? i don't know...
Daniel took this one when all of our meals came, as usual i'm the restless one, everyone's hand tucked below nicely, only mine is moving. tsks.
The photo we took at the water playground at the open garden.
back row(L to R):Hong Wei, Daniel, Zhi Hao, Jackson, Me
front row(L to R):Shiang Ming, Ying Ying, Yu Hui and Keminah! this picture sure was funny. we saw the water was sprouting from the hole below was quite high, so ying ying or someone suggested we go behind it and take picture, failed the first time, this was taken the second time. never did we know that as as soon as the lady who took for us pressed on the shutter, the water slowed down and dropped in height, and so, all of us managed to get a little wet here and there. AHAHA!!!

can't wait to meet up with them again. its fun!!!

Gold Medal match-Basketball

2008-08-24T15:20:00.003+08:00

yes.

its now half time. spain trailing USA by 8 points. this final is really one of the better ones to watch. both teams are like on their toes, anticipating their opponents' next move.

some far, Dwayne Wade's performance have been exceptional, he's performance have turned team USA from trailing to leading. Kobe's good with few good 3 pointers from the arc.

but most importantly, this one guy that i must mention: Ricky Rubio (#6) of spain. his performance is far from flawless, but for a 17 years old to compete in one of the most prestigious sporting event and to match up against the likes of NBA superstars, he handles the pressure well. oh by the way, he plays point guard that means when he's on court, he's in charge of orchestrating the play. not much 18 years old can do that don't they. at least i know i can't.

the 2nd half about to start soon. many would root for USA to win, but its hard to say at this point of time. i think i'm rooting for team USA to bag the gold, but even if spain wins, its good. both teams have the calibre to win the game. so GO team USA!

back to the match. bye people!

byebye exam!!!

2008-08-19T04:32:00.003+08:00

YAY! YAY!.

haha, yes, as you all have expected, i'm so jumping in joy cause the semestral exams is finally OVER. theend, done, whatever you want to call it.

ENG MEC was, surprisingly easy. though there were some sub question that i am not very sure of the answers, but yes. i managed to do most of the questions without much problem. whew. what a relief.
hmm, must be a reverse in the difficulty of the paper i guess? during CT, it was ELTECH easy and ENG MEC hell, now its the opposite. haha. -.-

gym-ed with zikun right after the paper. finally done with the orientation at the gymwerks. come to think of it, the facilities there are fabulous. haha. and the equiptments, so new. had a very good workout on my triceps, biceps, and deltoids. now my both arm are hellish sore. shall gym again in 2 days time, after joash's done with his paper. can't wait, can't wait!!!

i've just finished watch karena's mob sister movie at tudou. weird that thought they hugely promote it because of her, but the whole movie don't really feature her. hah. marketing gimmick. tsk. waiting for karena's candy rain to hit the cinema in september? hopefully it'll be shown here in singapore, or else, i'll still have to watch it at tudou. :S

now that holiday starts, i actually start to feel lost. omg. how??? nothing to do during holiday is such a put off. hopefully there is work for me. i need to save up for my HK trip? haha.

okok. i'm dead beat. off to sleep people:) good luck to joash and the rest who still have papers!

karena's birthday!!!

2008-08-17T13:47:00.003+08:00

ahh. i'm studying at KAP with joash now. later on, kenneth will be joining us. that is if i stay on till after 7pm.

andand, the most important thing today:

its KARENA LAM KA YAN'S BIRTHDAY!!!

happy happy birthday to you!!! :)

can't wait for the exams to end tomorrow, cause after that, i'm going to have a movie marathon of her past and latest movies :) can't wait can't wait!!! haha.

but first let me complete my ENG MEC revision. i'm so stuck at equilibrium and friction. DAMN that 2 chapters. argh.

don't bother me unless you're able to teach me thoroughly that 2 chapters or that you have an earth shaking important thing that i need to know. much appreciated yeah.

ciao!

first day of exam!!!

2008-08-15T13:10:00.002+08:00

AWWW!!!

finally done with my engineering math exam. *jumps* can chuck that book into a corner of my study table. ha! don't want to see it again...
i totally can't comprehend the level of carelessness i have. how can i mistaken a minus sign for a plus sign? omg. i might as well just jump off a building. not to mention that i forgot to change the unit from minutes to second. WTH!!!

ahhh. let it go. tomorrow i'll be having ELTECH. i'm totally done with that subject, i've done all of the past examination papers available, so i guess that today will be spent, mostly doing NOTHING. its really silly to have an exam on saturday. tsks! endure kelvin. by monday, it'll be all over. :D

and one last thing that i want to say...

sunday is Karena's 30th birthday!!!! *claps* :)
she's such a beauty. ahhh~ i'm so into her :D :D. anyone wants to sponsor me to hong kong so that i can see her??? you'll be so loved by me. haha

ciao. off to my tv show.

OLYMPICS MANIA!

2008-08-11T23:50:00.003+08:00

it's the Olympics period!!!

i'm spending my time alot on watching the live coverage or the replays of the games.

and i'm still procrastinating on doing my revision though exam is only 4 days away from now. ARGH!!!! actually the only thing i'm worried is about my engineering mechanics.

anyone wants to be an angel to teach me ENG MEC???

andand!!!

i'm currently so addicted to Karena 林嘉欣's movies!!!.

she's like omg gorgeous!!! awww~ ^.^

exams! woots. i'm so cranked up.

2008-07-31T01:55:00.002+08:00

have been lazy to blog and that i've been busy with the stupid CATS project. tsks, damn the project.
i'm so going to condemn creative and applied thinking skills(CATS) from now on. utter waste of time. come to think of it, all the 2 hours i've spent in those lessons was useless. it didn't even increase my creative brain juice that tiny bit. *NP, take a hint from me, scrape away CATS, its useless, no one's gonna listen to whatsoever skills cause its oh-so-boring please.

anyway, in less than 2 weeks it will be sems exam. AE only allocate 8 spaces for us, the ECP students. DIE! i've to compete with most of the 157 students for that measly 8 spaces???
to top it off, below is the list of things i've yet to complete before the exams:
1) engineering mechanics web tutorials,
2) electrical technology web tutorials,
3) 2 EG1 tutorials,
4) even started with any of the examinable modules' revision!!!

plus, at least 2 days of my this 2 weeks is taken up by clementi csc's pioneer cup match. argh.
played 2 games, lost both. tsks. either i quickly train up to get back my form, or i should sit down and contemplate on retiring from competitive basketball. its a nuisance to keep brooding over lousy performance after every match.

i'll not be blogging till after the exams, so take care! ciao!

2008-07-21T15:45:00.003+08:00

This is the picture taken after the games day before the prize presentation :)

picture courtesy of chun hao, one of the member from jeff's team.

from left to right: peter, kelvin and zikun!!!

there are 2 more members of our team who are busy playing badminton. they are, chris and edward, without them, we won't be champs for the 3-on-3 that easily. cheers to you guys.

MDE games day - basketball champs

2008-07-18T23:42:00.002+08:00

today was 1 part boring + 1 part fun.

had lessons, at 10, but woke up at 8 even though i slept around 2am the previous night.
whilst on my way to school, i sent a message to dong sheng telling him that tonight tiong yee going over to play with the hornets peeps, so asked him if he'll be free to go down and play with them. in the end i totally forgotten to message tiong yee's number to him -.-. surprisingly, jazreel messaged me. was like shocked cause haven't been messaging her for like months. haha.

hey jazreel! read this when you come to my blog -> 'you missed me right? that's why will message me!! LOLS!'

had lessons, never really paid attention, was mostly PES-ing with rad and hong keat all the time. i'm getting bad in class. always gaming instead of listening. -.-...
tamil submitted our combined compro project for marking already. hopefully it wil be an A grade work.

met with zikun and chris after school, then met peter at canteen 2, edward came when the games day about to start. crapped alot with them. especially peter. always disturbing me. LOLS.
anyway, not a really fun games day. we walked over to quarter finals because we've got odd numbered teams, so 3 teams get to walk over to the next round.

first match was against noobies from year 2 who actually defeated yong chin's group. fouled us all over to the extent that all of us toyed them in the first half. :P

second match was against a group with good players. they even had one girl in their team! and that girl is a sharp shooter! i'm seriously impressed with her skills. she said she saw me played before and commented that i was good. =) *haha, its nice to hear compliments!!* haha, most probably cause she's from the same school as christine, and that west spring sec always never fails to find dunearn to have matches with them.

last game was against jeff's team. the most gruelling amongst the three. cause they are way better then the previous 2. but yet, we still overcome this and manage to win them by 9 points. :)

something note worthy: i penetrated alot today! feeling was there, but shooting. nah. totally failed me. only managed one shot from dozens of misses.

2008-07-12T16:36:00.002+08:00

i'm feeling groggy. i slept too much today. and i'm rotting at home.

these days, i'm so bugged down by something. its not really nice when you have something that persistently keeps your mind away, and not being able to solve it.

this whole week is like crap. i don't even know what i'm doing. going school, study, home, watch video and sleep has been pretty much what i have been doing this whole week. i think i'm soon turning into a robot.

the only thing i guess i should be looking forward to next week most probably will be the MDE games day. at least that will take me off the troubles i have.

ahhhh. that's all for now. i'm going to do my homework. bye

2008-07-08T02:19:00.001+08:00

YAWNS~

boring day

2008-07-04T16:56:00.001+08:00

Cagers asia challenge

2008-06-27T23:20:00.002+08:00

yawns! its been a few days since i last blogged. i've been particularly lazy these few days. all i do when i return home is eat dinner and sleep. wake up in the middle of the night either to play games or to watch EURO 2008.

played a 3-on-3 today. it was organised by a group of students as part of their events management thing. one of them was my macdonald's ex-colleague, Delphine. so go there support her abit. played and lost the first match and it was all over. -_- wasted 15 bucks. but anyway, its good to sweat it out once in awhile.
after which tiong yee and me then headed to catch the cagers' match against malaysia U-18 in the ' Cagers asia basketball challenge 2008' at jurong east sports complex. cagers lost by 12 points. then there was another match, CLS knights(indonesia) against Segamat Rimba Timor. the game, which CLS won by 7 points.
and, felicia chin was there!!! OMFG!!! she's unbelievably gorgeous. so feminine. then there was a super crowd gathered in front of us, cause felicia was there and all of them wanted to get a photo with her.

dine at kfc with kang yi and tiong yee. was talking about all the basketball stuff. and, kang yi is actually contracted to the cagers as a junior player. so envious lah~~ i'm gonna train hard, wanna be on par with kang yi, and the rest of the good players. =)

bus-ed home, saw jieying walking back to her home, didn't call out to her cause i was on the other side of the road.

i'm gonna ball tomorrow morning. =) then head down to queensway in the afternoon to get the yellow/black nike reversible jersey. the exact one that the hornets division 1 team is wearing(minus the printing) and this was tiong yee's idea, might get my compressor shorts or my water bottle as well :)

*i'm missing you. do you feel it?

youth no more.

it's saturday.

yesterday was a tough day. in the wee hours of friday, Germany sunk Portugal 3-2 in the EURO 2008 quarter-finals match. later that night, Hornets lost to Whye Nam. that, too meant that that in 2nd round of the youth cup, Hornets recorded a 3 win and 2 loses and was eliminated out of the youth cup. and coincidentally, portugal lost because of some amateurish defending, which was also the case for us.

yesterday was supposedly a match that we were supposed to win, as of what i saw on court and of what han lin said every quarter and after the match. whye nam yesterday was totally not the team that we all saw every other match. missed passes, lay-ups, travelling, 3-sec in box etc. and, on top of that, the referees are totally helping us, by calling more calls against whye nam. with all these advantages for us, we still couldn't win them, cause we didn't put the ball into the basket. penetrated but missed, open shots but missed.

anyway, thanks to every one that accompanied me throughout the whole of this youth cup. thanks to han lin, for coaching us though he's busy with his own work. thanks to zhi cheng for leading on the team. thanks wei jian for the seemingly limitless energy he has in every game. thanks to darwin for the points he made in all the games. thank for having me as a part of the team and end the youth cup this way. next stop for us will be the 青年杯. * i don't know what is the english version of the tournament call* anyway, that will be the U-22 cup. so let remain as a team and train towards the next tournament and hopefully if Eng Tat Hornets is going to send us for that cup in the years to come.

for now, i'll be joining up with the people of clementi csc to train for the inter-constituency games. don't know if i'll be in, but hopefully, i'll gain something out of training with them. :)
good luck kelvin :) good luck my hornets team mate :) all of you are the best :)

lazy lazy me.

2008-06-20T13:51:00.002+08:00

ok. i haven't blogged since wednesday, i think. didn't update about the match against Qian Xi. i think laziness is really creeping up on me. i haven't even started on my holiday assignment, and yes, SCHOOL STARTS NEXT MONDAY! ohmy. should start doing up my homework, somehow.

anyway, yesterday went to watch kungfu panda with charmaine over at junction 8. funny show, lots of laughter, especially Po, the fat panda, he was awesome. anyway, i'm lazy to elaborate, if you want, either u go catch it in the cinemas, or you can go online and watch, cause the show is recommended. :)

today, the last game of 2nd round of our youth cup. make or break will be decided tonight. we win whye nam, we get through together with whye nam. if we lose tonight, WRS will go through with whye nam. i didn't really play well throughout i guess, well, if there is anything that i will want to do to correct it, today's my day of redemption. play well against whye nam, win them and, we'll be in top 6! hopefully. good luck to everyone to me to the team. and hopefully tiong yee's ankle is well enough to allow him to play, we do need everyone badly tonight.

go hornets!!!

another random post :)

2008-06-17T22:37:00.002+08:00

i've been staying at home for the past 3 days.

most of my time are spent on sleeping. which, i'm beginning to feel that it is not a very good sign. i'm purely wasting away my two weeks of holidays. not even a single holiday assignment is done.

my daily routine for the past 3 days are like wake up, then use lappy, then eat, then lappy again, then nap, then lappy through the night. even friend who jio-ed me to basketball have been ps-ed by me, cause i stayed up through the night, so my sleeping time would be like in the morning stretching over to the afternoon.

tonight shall not be like this anymore. cause i've a game at SBC tomorrow evening. so got to get ample rest. which i'm still in doubt i'll do, cause though i do say i need to sleep, what i am really gonna do should be hell different. I'M CURRENTLY ADDICTED TO FOOTBALL MANAGER 2008, that's why!

anyway, tomorrow's fixture is against Qian Xi Youth, which on paper, says that we should have no problem winning them as i personally believe all our players, minus tiong yee(he sprained his ankle) have the calibre to outclass(and hopefully out muscle) the Qian Xi players. 7pm, SBC court1. we can do it guys!

and, thurday shall be my movie day. :) :) watching kung fu panda with sotong. then come friday, the day of revelation of the hornets youth team. our final match of round 2. against Whye Nam. make or break, i guess ultimately will be decided on that day. win whye nam, and we're through to the top 6. lose, and we'll have to hope for a miracle to be bestowed upon our team. blame it on our inability to convert our chances when we played against WRS, but since its already in the past, no use dwelling on, all to do no is to work doubly hard to win the remaining fixtures and we'll be safe.

that's all guys, wish us all the best for tomorrow and, transmit some brainwave to me to tell me to stop sleeping so late. its bad for health. :)

lousy refereeing spoils the game

2008-06-14T00:09:00.002+08:00

ok. i'm here to rant about today's game against WRS.

first things first, i really do suspect that the referees that officiate the matches at kembangan have serious problems of not calling foul when there is and calling fouls when it isn't. they have fucking no idea on how to officiate the game. not only the referee on court. even the table officials that takes care of the scoreboard are equally stupid as the referees, doing mistakes like adding score to the wrong team. not resetting the 24sec shot clock. the worse thing is that even when they fucking know that its their mistake, and the coach are complaining about it, they just walked over to the coach and tell them,"never mind lah, forget it." it's like wtf?! they call themselves referee?

i seriously doubt their ability as a referee. this is sub standard refereeing. god knows how they passed their test and got their license. the referees are truly what you call an " 'A' " grade referee. no other can be better than those few at the match today.

as for us, we started real well, drew first blood when zhi cheng penetrated and scored an easy basket. led them in terms of score for the first half. then, the second half, WRS overrun us with that no.11 scoring baskets through some good penetrations. he's real good. not to mention the referee calling stupid 'not there' fouls on our players. fuck those referee seriously, stupid old guy, might as well go home watch porn.
towards the end jeremy #5 committed an unsportsman foul that allowed WRS to score a basket within the last few seconds of the game. ultimately, we lost to them by 3 points, the gap wasn't that big actually, they were, at one time only leading us by 5, so we weren't that bad today, just so happen that we were unlucky. more to improve on guys!

as for myself. i almost got a technical foul when i threw the ball away instead of giving it to the referee whilst i was on bench, he stared at me, contemplating to call that technical foul on me. in the end, he didn't and i continued swearing the referee at the bench.

well, seriously, i've got to improve on my temper, or else i might cause the team to lose in the remaining two games. like what zhi cheng told me, yes, everyone felt freaking angry when fouls are called against us when its not supposed to be, but if i continued to fuck the referee, it will only do us more harm as the referee will be pissed off to the point that he will be biased against our team.
so for me, i've to improve on my lousy temper. other than that, i had quite an okay game, defended well, but allowed no.11 to penetrate to the baseline a few times, as said by jin hang who took us for the day. attempted a 3, mid-range and a penetration, but missed all. -_- never mind, i'm getting my confidence back, so jia you kelvin, get rid of the temper and it'll be better.

good game guys, more communications and more passes. be calm and we'll make it. JIA YOU HORNETS!

training on sunday at 9am at cck cc. see ya guys there :)

game

2008-06-12T23:45:00.002+08:00

oh wells, am here to talk about yesterday's game.

so it turned out that yesterday's match was better than what i had expected it to be. though i didn't make more attempts or penetrate, i felt that the confidence was there, and quite a good game.

the score however, didn't really reflect on that it was a good game. we've only won kaixuan by 6 points. tiong yee got himself fouled out of the game with 4 charging and a blocking foul -_- some guy. anyway, kaixuan weren't any better in terms of their foul trouble. hui han got fouled out first followed by their no.7

the referees are arseholes. seriously. rong lie, who took over us for the day as han lin had to attend to his grandmother's funeral. called three times for a time out but the officials at the table just yakked away and did not even hear his calls. wtf?! and that curly-haired referee on court had incredible vision. i think yesterday's match had the most calls for travelling. he's catching people travelling like no one's business.

in terms of us playing, we totally dominated the first half of the game, end of first quarter, we led by 23 or 24 to 8. finished off the first half leading kaixuan by 17. but all hell broke lose as they caught up with us in third quarter and at one point in time they were actually leading us by 4 points. then forth quarter when hui han and that no.7 got fouled out, we got ourselves more breathing space and the offense came back points are score, defense tightened up quite abit, and yes, we won it.

after game, we headed to han lin grandmother's funeral. sat and talked abit about the game, discussing about our next opponents. left for tiong yee's house after that. didn't get a wink at all last night, cause my knees hurts. balled today in the morning at dunearn. played till noon and then headed home. i napped from after dinner time till now. woah. i'm tired. all my days are basketball and more basketball, but i'm lovin' it! haha

good luck for tomorrow's match against WRS. win them and we can confidently go on against Qian Xi next wednesday. and final round will become a reality. JIA YOU HORNETS! hang in there, we're doing great right now.

groupings for 2nd round of youth cup

2008-06-10T11:43:00.002+08:00

i've received this piece of information firstly from wei jian, then asked wei quan to confirm it with his kaixuan coach. since both speak of the same thing, i believe the information wouldn't be wrong.

Eng Tat Hornets are drawn together into Group X which comprises of:
Whye Nam,
WRS(woodlands ring sec),
Kaixuan,
and lastly, Qian Xi Youth

the first match for us will be tomorrow at kembangan at 8.30pm versus kaixuan.

oh boy~ have to face against my ex classmate + ex team mates. shits. i'm already beginning to feel nervous just thinking about it. i'm worried that the 3 of them have improved much much more then me that they are all better then me. :(

it's really not a promising prospect for me if it really is the truth. i don't want them to look at me and think, "oh~ this is what has become of kelvin, slow, lousy can't do anything. this hornets team must be desperate, that's why he's in the team"

maybe i think too much but this kind of things happen. i haven't been sleeping well lately cause every time i go to bed, i'll think of the past 3 matches of the first round. i think of all the mistakes, the missed shots, everything. let's hope it'll turn out better for me.

i'll be going down to school to shoot some baskets, provided elijah and tiong yee comes along. which i hope they will. i badly need some last minute conditioning on my defense. want to do some stuff that i used to do during training in secondary school. this is like my last resort? i can't think of any other way to strengthen up my defense. sigh~

well, good luck kelvin. and GOOD LUCK HORNETS! win all your game. play as if it's our last.

match against geylang serai csc

2008-06-08T22:42:00.004+08:00

ARGH!!! fucked up game today.

got there early, prepared well, warmed up and ready to go. but yet, what happened in the next 40 minutes don't quite tally with it.

the starter went up looking all set, but yet, the play was totally rubbish. though we led the opposing team throughout, except one short period in the 2nd quarter, but all that could be said is that we had a lousy game. plus the referee didn't help our team at all by calling some unjustified fouls against us.

today i didn't seat on bench for too long. after 2 consecutive fouls that zhi cheng made, i was quickly called upon. not that i did better. one silly indescribable turnover. coach totally F-ed me upside down. after that short moment on court, i had a few more brief spells on court. abit more calm then the first time round, passes were better, i had a great chance but blew it away, cause i didn't make that bloody lay-up.

and at one point of time, our lead was cut down to a mere 2 points because of some amateur-ish turnovers and that 2 3-pointers that the opposing no.8 made. thankfully jeremy replied with his 3 or 4 consecutive mid range shots. thus we were able to extend back our lead to 10 points.

assessment of myself:
still the same as the last game. need more improvements on game awareness. passes got to be more robust and of a good choice. calm down when taking shots, and, break from screens.

well, overall, not bad, but 2nd round would be more tougher than today's game, so we've got to buck up as a team, communicate more, help out on each other on defense, etc etc. alot more to do if we wanna to get through to final round and even to the point of getting hold of a medal.

tomorrow's the drawing of lots for the 2nd round grouping. hopefully we don't get team that are too overwhelmingly powerful like combined schools(red), tagawa, whye nam etc etc. and pray that our matches are not on tuesday, which is like 2 days away. the further back the better. :)

WORK HARD HORNETS!!! work hard kelvin. VISION's the keyword!

2008-06-08T05:46:00.002+08:00

it's sunday 8th of june 2008 at 5.46am.

lets say i was sort of asked to post this one.

a few hours back, saw my friendster had a new friend's request. i didn't know who on earth was this girl that was trying to add me. but being a friendly guy, i accepted.

gave me a comment so i replied back with one. and on and on we went replying one another's comment in that short 1 hour, even whilst i'm playing sushido on viwawa. -_-

anyway, its close to 5.51am now, and i'm chatting with her on msn, and just a few moments ago i was nicely asked to post the sentence below:

"TODAY I MADE FRIEND AND CHATTED WITH THAT GIRL, NAMED ZIQUN"

zq: cannot write met, cause haven't physically met u yet.

i'm mad. seriously. at 5 something in the morning, i'm still chatting with someone on msn when i should be asleep.

since i'm already updating, might as well say this,
later at 7pm, i'm having my final match for the first round of the youth cup. versus geylang serai csc. JIA YOU HORNETS!!! jia you myself!!! ALL THE BEST!!!

match against millenia institute

2008-06-05T23:22:00.002+08:00

just got back from the match at kembangan.

the journey there was indescribable. nonsense place to have a match. too far.

anyway, today we're up against millenia institute to fight for a place in the second round.
we did well, won well and yes. most importantly, we've secured a spot in the second round of this year's youth cup.

we won millenia by 44 points. final score was 65-21 in favour of us. everyone did well, particularly wai kin, elden, lian jie, covin and zhi cheng. elden managed to get quite a few fast breaks during the 4th quarter when millenia forwards and guard had some lapses in their communication. GOOD JOB ELDEN!

well, for me, i sat through the whole of first half. its abit weird for me to sit through so long, cause i've never tried that before. played quite abit, better than first game, alas only scoring one point from the free throw. i was playing point guard yet again. stressed out cause i'm played out of my normal position. defensively, was bit better, i managed to follow the opposing point guard quite well enough.

overall comment for myself:
better than previous game, but need more composure and awareness in game cause i'm now playing more as a point guard rather than forward. BUCK UP!

sunday we're up against geylang serai csc. they've got quite a few good 3 point shooter in the team. so gotta be more alert and try to stop those players from getting their shots. COME ON TEAM! LETS DO IT! hopefully can go through the second round at the top team of our group.

now abit on how i felt on today's game
today i had a bad day. not that i wasn't expecting it, but maybe mentally i haven't really prepared myself for what is going on. i was super disappointed that i sat through the whole of first half. didn't feel that i was an integral part of the team. got bit bad to the point that i was bit disillusioned about my place in the team. maybe its all because in secondary school days i was often used by coach, so the fact that i had to seat through 1half didn't go down quite well for me. plus coach chose others before me, maybe he didn't mean it that way, but somehow i felt so and caused me to feel a little down because of it.

its time to get rid of that mentality. i should really get on with it and face the fact that i've got more to learn before i can play my point guard role well. hopefully coach will let me play more when we go into the 2nd round.
BUCK UP TEAM! buck up kelvin!

other than that, i'm quite happy and impressed at myself recently. cause i've managed to shoot 3 points more easily. i don't have that forced shot feeling i used to have anymore. and my percentage for 3 points is getting better. EFFORT kelvin. NOW, WORK ON YOUR POINT GUARD POSITION kelvin. !!! no time to waste if i wan't to play more in the game.

jia you U-18 hornets, jia you everyone. jia you kelvin. you can do it, hopefully.

my hundredth post

2008-06-04T22:05:00.002+08:00

YAY!

common test's over!!! hurray!~
but engineering mechanics was a total disaster. i'll be thanking god if i even managed to pass the subject. damn! result of never studying. sigh sigh~ lucky i studied for EG1 and ELTECH or else i can just go find any wall and bang on it.

just came back from my balling session. played with tiong yee, oswa and gary! hah what a coincidence to bump into him there. plus before that he messaged me regarding the clementi csc stuff. i'll be training for the inter cons game with clementi csc, thanks to gary for the recommendation!

its a good thing i balled with gary. made me realise what i've forgotten since the end of last year competition. my defense was utterly horrible today. lucky he tipped me and i realise my mistake. and thanks to oswa to help me try out the defensive moves. though i'm slower than what i used to be, but i'm getting the hang of it again. just tt my knees not in very good condition, so still bit slow. I'LL WORK HARD TO REGAIN WHAT I LOST!!! tomorrow, i shall make MI cry with my 3pointers and my defense. :D:D:D

yeah. tomorrow. versus millenia institute. 8.30pm at kembangan. we WILL win, we WILL get to 2nd round. cause we are a TEAM!

so anyone who wants to support can come down yea! the venue, as the BAS says, is just right beside kembangan mrt station. so please do come and support eng tat hornets alright! :)

GOOD LUCK MATES!

:) hornets won!

2008-06-02T23:58:00.002+08:00

yawns! i'm so tired. somebody please recharge my battery for me please! :)

had ELTECH common test at 11. fairly easy, finished within 45 mins. and was handed up 15 mins later, cause i was bit embarrassed to leave early as others was like struggling with the paper.

wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be. but still i did have some doubts on some questions. tsk, result of never study well and thorough enough. :S

ate and pool near school, before heading home for a nap.

met up with tiong yee to head down to sbc. catched MI versus geylang serai csc. stupid match. geylang dominated throughout the whole game. ended with the score 92-30plus. MI... nothing to say. hopefully we can aso win them by that kind of score.

our game against admiralty, good! great job guys! though we only won them by 18 points, but its still a good double digit win.
like what han lin said. everyone contributed in all aspects that lead to our win. but sadly, i never scored any points. only drew foul to let opponent gain possession. darn.

assessment of my game today:
defense: fairly good, but not tight enough;
offense: assist was alright, but never really drive in or take shots.
overall: more to be improved on.

sad...

but its alright. i'll bounce back from this set back. :)

that's all for today. good luck for EG1 tomorrow. :):)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

training @ bukit batok nature park

2008-05-18T22:59:00.002+08:00

woah~

almost puked/fainted/asthma attack/died today during training.
it was back to 2 weeks ago, where we had physical training. training was ultra shag, though it was quite a short one, or at least the whole training felt that it wasn't very long.

anyway, i almost overslept today, woke up at 9am. shit! rushed through everything and got out of house at 9.15. missed the idiot 184. so, waited for another one for like 15 mins. met yin ji and ting yang at the foot of the hill.

guess what?! the 3 of us was the second group to arrive, wei jian and elden were there already. tiong yee was next, then jeremy and darwin. zhi cheng, and lian jie was ultra late, almost 20 mins late. amazingly, coach MX was late too!

so we warmed up and got ready for training. coach said after training, BREAKFAST WAS ON HIM!!! cause he was late, but can't blame him, he looked very off and was coughing like no one's business when he reached. he's sick.

ran the slope twice to warm our body, then did sprinted up the slope, 3 lamp post at a time, there was total of 9 lamp post from the foot to the top. so we sprinted 3 times.
after that, sprint up the steps again. that part was like hell. going up was alright. going down the steps wasn't.
the muscles around my butt felt like anytime will cramp. :( den my head felt giddy, the feel to puke started to well up my throat. shit man! but i told myself to endure. mentality must be there!!!
the went back down again. this time is piggyback time! zhi cheng piggybacked me up the slope before we switched place.
then training ended.

we went to al azhar for makan. chit chatted, ate and coach left early. some of them got their bags cause they just paid coach the money for the jersey and bag. gonna get mine on friday!

OMG! can't wait to see the jerseys and bag!!! YES YES YES!!!

get well soon coach! and get mentally stronger guys! hornets are quick and agile, so we must be too! JIA YOU!

2008-05-16T22:48:00.002+08:00

had training today.

wasn't so tough, but the 3 passes lay up was disastrous. we did it over and over for countless of time and still did not manage to complete 20 continuous baskets. but rong lie, one of the senior team player who take over han lin for today's training says we're getting the hang of it. do as a team! so, rong lie is a nice guy after all, cause his facee looks very stern.

then we learnt the set play that the senior team is using currently playing. did the set play, first without defenders, then with defenders. the difference is like huge. with active defenders, you don't get to run the play as fluidly as you wished to. but well, this is for the whole team to overcome. :)

coach says that by next week the jersey's should be ready. plusplus! he siad that with the new logo, the jersey's looks very nice and bright! hopefully it really is as nice as he had described. the hornets bag are coming in this sunday, costing us another $20. so total we have to pay to coach is $80 for the jersey, registration fee and the bag. :(( so ex. but its worth it.

coach says sunday, he'll whack us on physical, it will be at the super steep slope of the bukit batok nature park.

tomorrow is work day. sians~

these days, i keep feeling that something is missing out of me. what is it?
