cubs are out!!

For u guys out there who have been following closely the under 23 soccer team in the S.E.A games......only 1 word... disappointment.....promises such as lifting the cup again at the sea games said previously by the cubs is as as of now broken.

Frankly speaking, it is not hard to see why the cubs r out. The opening match against Vietnam, vietnam gave them chances in the first half, but the cubs fail to convert and vietnam relied on their aggressive counter attacking style to defeats them. Subsequent matches were played half heartedly...and against minnows such as Laos, the result almost came to a draw if not for some fantastic goalkeeping who I think is only the cubs who played his heart out from: lionel Lewis.

Quite disappointed as I had anticpate some spectacular performances by the cub,time n time again the cubs have disappoint singaporeans who roots for them....haiz...

Been quite some time since I blog...school wasnt that busy lately, but perhaps in the later stages ..haha..

Started my car learning at BBDC .... driving at BBDC is defintely better than those private instructors...BBDC instructors are veryu friendly n concerned with ur learning...hmm..hope tat i would be able to get a test date b4 Chinese New Year..haha...
In the meantime ..keep driving , driving and driving.....

Korean demonstration team

Yesterday, the korean demostration team came to toa payoh sports hall to give a performance on their TKD skills....and boy !! they were fantastic ....doing 3 kicks in the air, doing back flips in the air while breaking planks as well...whoo...i was sure that the people in the sports hall were just as as amazed and wow by their spectacular kicks ,turns and their precision on the target as i did.... they were so flexible that their leg could easily reach above their head level with 1 raise of their kicks.....and there was the apple smashing where they used an apple as a target and then using their kicks smashed it into bits n pieces ..perhaps as a souviener for the spectaculars...

Went with yueng choun to kayak today...went to the usual place at changi sports club...it has been 2-3 yrs since we been there...however the usual price of $7/hr had in fact balloned to $17/hr...wow...who will kayak for an hr for $17...and so we walked abt 3km to the PA sea sports club only to be told there was wind surfing there only...hmm....bedok reservoir came to our minds n we went there...yohoo...!!! there was kayaking over there...the charge were normal save for the water that werent salty....it kinda feels weird when u r normally kayaking in the sea...refreshed our skills and even had a race......the water stinks quite a lot...haha...i can smell it form my bag on the way back...

my fav team i in the amazing race : the gaghan family was eliminated last week..n since they were featured in the newspaper, i might as well talk a bit bout them..for ur info, the parents ran marathon n their 2 kids competeD5 km races..wow!! and the reason y i supported this team was becos throughout the race, the dad keep encouraging the kids to carry on, not to give up and even if they had lost..they were to told themselve that this was nothing to be ashamed of...inspirations words was perhaps wat keep this team going, supposingly the weakest team in the amazing race given their 2 kids....

And when they lost..my heart went out to them....with 2 kids in the team, manual tasks such as moving something heavy was disadvatagous for them..the fact that their mum took 45 mins to look for a red little bean among a sea of beans without giving up was commendable, simultaneously, this was also wat costed the gaghan family to lost the race...

A very meaningful phrase from the gaghan family..." winners never quit, quitters never win"

take care.

Singapore Cup final....

Went to the national stadium on sunday to watch the exciting singapore cup final match between Woodland and my fav s league team : HOME U ! Went with Ming yong n yuan da...
First, went to the stadium early at ard 5.45 to chop a desirable place but alas! the mac food tat we had wanted to bring in was prohibited and as a result, we had to finish our food outside....together with quite a few others....why did they implement this stupid rule...is not as though we would use the mac food to throw at the players on the field( even if we did, wat harm could fries n burgers do...n which guy in the right frame of mind would waste food like tat)

Went into the stadium....memories of last yr s'pore cup final flooded my mind...it was tamp vs Home....tied at full time and amazingly, Tamp scored 3 goals in extra time to make the final score 4-1..disappointment...hopefully history would not repeat itself..
Found a seat positioned in the middle of the field, exhibition match was between s'pore ex int. and malaysia ex int....most of these players name sounded greek to me and the only name tat i knew was Malek Awab...anyway s'pore went on to win 4-1

Match commenced at 7.30 pm sharp n within 10 mins into the game woodland scored...my heart sank, can Home fight back? without their inspiring playmaker oliverio pires...and yes ! they did ..in the second half by Indra ...from a precise pass by Sahib..score was 1-1, and the home united fans erupted with joy...3 mins later Home scored by Fadzu....Home was leading!...

but the joy didnt lasted long as woodland scored, which was assisted by a free kick from ahmad latiff which caused confusion in the box ,leading to woodland to score...the home U fans was silenced...The score was 2-2.If the match were to go into extra time, i doubt Home players could cope with the pace of the game especially with numerous ageing players such as Surachai and Egmar..Just when I tot that the game was going into extra time, INDRA ...yes the man of the match scored !!!!!!!! in injury time...a pass from egmar led to Indra n Fadzu chasing for the ball n just when we tot the keeper would safetly save the ball, Indra got to the ball faster n pull the ball to the right side of the penalty area b4 blasting 1 shot in to the back of the net...HURRAY!! Home has won the game...this match was more the memorable as some Home U players like Pires , Indra and their inspiring defender Aide was leaving the club after this match...and also their coach....a great game after all...with plenty of goals---5 and also wonderful skills... HOme have successfully added 1 trohy to their impressive cabinet...

While we were watching the match, a guy behind us kept boo-ing whenever woodland's Ahmad latiff had the ball....and saying all sorts of comments on him...guess Ahamad latiff could have probably offended him....haha....and he booed through the whole match..haha wat wonderful stamina he has!!

Home U may not be the same team next season with so many inspiring players leaving... hope tat Home U can repeat their Singapore Cup success next season....

for now...3 cheers to Home United Football Club!!!

holidays.....

has been quite some time since i blog...holidays are over and is now back to school now...last semester and i hope with this last sem, i can produce far superior results..haha...tat is in terms of school work la..

Rarely has my holiday been spent without working, and this had been an exceptional one..worked for 5 days in the swimming complex and tats all...haha...not much income earned..
Saturdays were spent on taekwondo..and on other weekdays i either went out or stayed at home....fei hua...haha...but tats is really the truth...

Wanted to splurge my holidays on driving and get a driving licence b4 school starts...but $$$ was really a constraint..din book much lessons on driving in fear tat i would not be avaliable when the swimming complex calls me...turned out that the no. of time they called me can be counted with one of ur hand...sian..

misunderstanding with one of my very good fren....hope tat this can be resolved very soon and go back to our normal days...

1st day of school and a teacher tells u that this sem is really gonna be a tight one wouldnt be exactly the perfect start...and yeah..this was how i started my last sem...

got to go for now..

Results tomorrow!!!

Haven been blogging for a period now...hadnt been especially busy but just din had the urge to blog...

Back from a "sweatless'' TKD session from CCk, din do TKD today ,not becos of the rain but because of sir JJ..Really cant understand his mentality, would separating us from the various locations do u good, none ..i would say. In fact by not restricting us, we would have greater freedom n could most possibly end up happier instead of gloomy and grumpy faces.

Really tired, went to CMPB early in the morning for my med checkup.Met with BL, EL n JX b4 proceeding. the tiring part wasnt the medical checkup or the computer test , but becos i couldnt sleep the previous nite...no exact reason, perhaps a day spend doing nothing constructive does give one insomia. Got PSB B...if nt for my flat foot..an A could be up for grab.

Sunday rain was really cats n dogs man....qing peng ta yu...a whopping 4 hrs b4 it managed to subsides..worked on tat day..haha...talked with the lifeguards until 5.30 b4 the pool opened. still puzzeled y they ask me to work on tat day. News reported that a few places had flooding..

Results gonna be out tomolo...or should i say later this morning....hope tat i passes all of them , expectations is lower this time round, din really n seriously studied for the test...

sleep for now....

see ya n take care

Pulau Tinggi

Finally knew the name of the island....is called pualu Tinggi...located below pulau tioman,is accessible by the road to Tioman also...

The beach in Pulau Tinggi was alrite...water was clear and the island was very quiet given only one resort operator...the other had collaspe due to the lack of customers.The design of the resort was fairly exquiste and there was this Bali style and ambience surrounding the resort. Did snorkelling and trekked to the waterfall....din managed to attempt diving as the diving center had closed down...however the waterfall was spectalcular not forgetting the labourious trek leading to the waterfall....the guide told me n my bro that no one had attempted to swim in the waterfall except us..haha...

Built a campfire together with my father frens...there was this sense of achievement when I saw the fire burning...and oso caught jian gui 4.....the 10 ways to see ghost, some of the methods seems familiar..hahaha

Saw pple caught squids, fairly simple task they made out to be..hence we bought a bait osos...but when we were going back, will use it on our next trip....

shall stop here...see ya all

grandma house....

2nd day since my exams ended, just slacked around yesterday in my hse which i think was to mainly recover my "hangover" from my exams...
hAVE always felt a very big relieve whenever the semestral exam is over, the feeling is really hard to describe to be short is as if u are freed from the watever nots tat have been constrainting u,but defintely not this time, couldnt explain why.....still seeking for a reason to that, was it my tiredness? was it for my laziness n slackness this time round? Numerous reasons have since linger pass my brain....still seeking for a reason....

Went SIR building to extent my passport today, my bro din had his IC with him, and as a result, he has to make a trip down to SIR building tomolo...Y cant they make a exception and gave him the passport based on his concession cards...perhaps u cant really bend the rules in govt agencies...

Going to an island to malaysia tomolo evening...i think it would be quite a short trips compared to the tioman trips...hope tat the water conditions are good and perhaps diving could be on the itinery too!!haha...

Grandma hse after SIR building, spent the time with Sean and Bryan who are my 2 cousins....who are really ....cute...haha...SEan has a book which teaches him basic letters...and he would always go to this particular pages ignoring other pages...dont know y...but time passed really fast with the existence of these 2 cuties...haha...looking forward to more trips to my grandma hse....

tats all, have been extra chatty today,perhaps the boredom of not doing any constructive things have got in into my head....

take care.

What is this heck about global Business Enviroment that Business students have to take.....a module that kills a lot of brain cells....i m sure lots of u would agree with me.....

Went studying at taman Jurong Mac for the past few days.....quite a conducive enviroment not to mention the fragrant aroma of fries and burgers which lingers at some times.....

Exam time table is out...not a very bad scheldule....except for the last 2 papers which falls on 26 n 27 , which means that i most probably have to burn midnight oil on the 26....have to start purchasing oil.....b4 oil prices becomes too high for me to purchase...haha...

Studying for the exams is really tiring....gotta brace myself up and complete this exam journey..

in the meantime...wont be blogging until after the exams...

1 more chance!!!...........

Went with Boon Leng n Alan to JP in the afternoon to watch One More Chance...or "san ke hao ren" ....was a nice movie with touching n also hilarious parts...theatre was quite packed...perhaps becos of today being the 2nd day of screening...

The hilarious part was when a new and beautiful prison officer came...Hui ge got excited when she ask him to her room only to be announced of the canning date...and when hui ge was troubled by the caning ..everyone consoles him...an indian guy said he will support him morally............after which Hui ge told him" mam said after my caning , it will be ur turn..."
The indian guy was stunned n shock...!!
LOL...

While the emotional part was when mark lee daughter told mark lee in the face not to pick her up from school anyone...as everyone in school was mocking at her for having a prisoner dad..tat was really emotional ...and Mark lee tried to passed her a umbrella when it was raining hoping not to be seen by her daughter...only to fall...

Worked in the morning...eyes felt like closing...dont know why...perhaps it was just a little bit too early for me...

got to go for now....see ya

Impressed

Went down to Tanglin club yesterday nite...was impressed by sir patrick...his stances,blocks n moves were so flawless....patterns or forms as he called it must be done with the mind n body as 1... still trying to understand..

As for the results, the offical result will be made known to us next sat...hmm..

Went to be a helper with shuen n Mazni at the SB dept yesterday....was quite slack and if not for the tempting 2 CCA points ,i doubt anyone would volunter as a helper....
One of the guest's BMW was kena vandalised, and no one seems to know who was it...judging by the extend of the sretch on the BMW which was on both side, i dont think it was done solely by 1 person...

Working later in the afternoon...siann ...!!!

Went there with wei liang cos liat said got girls from pepsi...haha ..but the agony part was that they werent there...lol..wat a disappointment..
Saw car racing over there...the mere sound of their car engines is enough for people to mistook it for a thunderstorm...was really loud...I think covering ur ears wouldnt help much either..
Their specially modified cars was awesome without seats in the rear nor for the front passenger save for the driver seat...and a big exhaust pipe...took a few pics of Jackie Chan EVO 8 ...
There was oso military stuff on display...quite a nice sight to admire..

B4 went to bugis with wei liang n liat...Surprised tat it resembled the Chinatown of Malaysia a lot...haha....even the products being sold...found a liking to a pair of skater shoes for $60, shall decide whether to buy anot in the near future...
