the weekend was well spent. went out for transformers with ky, jm, jj, jun liang and boss. jun liang finally learnt from all his lessons. when we meet at 3.3o to watch a 4.30 show, its best to turn up at 4.30. lol. nice move.

transformers 2 was action packed. apart from that, i think its somewhat ok. the storyline ain't that great. and the storyline seems to be in a rush. so yeah.

movie poster for transformers: revenge of the fallen.

dinner at bk with the brothers. ky was talking to us about his bike practicals and finishing the s course within 11 seconds. boss somehow thought it was 11 minutes and from there onwards. bk turned in he's living hell. non stop gl-ing about he's funeral. lol! cardboard coffin made with special kind of glue.

jm had to go for his cousin's bday party. boss, jj and jl went home. so its only ky and me. went to arcade and thrashed the hell out of ky for daytona advanced course. hahahahahaha. 5-0 excluding the race where ky was using a machine with faulty gears. finally made the "racing god of our generation" come back from retirement arh.

tampines for supper after that. then slacked around and found some place to talk until 1 plus am before going home.

stayed home today zhuo boh-ing. wanted to go bballing but the rc in my estate is holding some bball tournament, so can't go down and was lazy to go to 800 plus. so yah. somemore i'm waiting for my new bball shoes to come in.

ok lah. enough talk. time to find somethings to do.

so it rained. how long has it been? seriously had no idea. stm.

anyway, went to train on my shooting. its tough to do shootaround after it had rained. my bball shoes are like heelys, the floor's wet, the bball's slippery, my muscles are aching after monday's work out and it sure doesn't look good when u are throwing up air balls for ur first 10 shots.

so what? pack up and go home? there's no way i'm doing that. it may be an uphill task. but i'm gonna stay and train. 8.30 to 10.00.

think about this. if i can make shots in this kind of condition, think about what i might be able to do in normal condition? it's really tough i can say. really felt like giving up halfway through.

but seriously, i'm ok being a failure, but i'm not ok being a quitter. i won't forgive myself if i quit. i'm sure that someone somewhere is training on he's shooting in this condition all by himself also. so if i give up and go home, he will be ahead of me. i'm not gonna let that happen.

i'm already not talented, so i need to have the hardwork, heart and willpower to train. skills and talent will make u a good player. but its the heart, willpower and drive to work hard that make you a great player. i strongly believe in this principle.

anyway, halfway through the training, it started to drizzle abit. so the training duration might be cut short. now its the race against time, 100 shots made before the rain really gets too big to do training.

halfway through to 100, an acquaintance appeared. shootaround and talk with him before he challenged me to a one on one match. i lost. 9-11. am really disappointed. always taught that he's below me because i've defeated he's friend who's better than him. i'm not gonna find any reasons for this defeat, he won the match and deserves the credit. i just didn't perform well enough. my offense just wasn't a factor. locked him down on defense with 7 blocks and still lost. now that's something to worry about. anyway, there's no other factors that affected the outcome of the match other than my own incapabilities.

i know he'll pass through there next wednesday. i'll go down, train and wait for him to appear. for the next one on one match, i'll play with my heart and everything i've got. i'll get the win. i'll school him.

after my defeat, shoot for awhile longer and its 10.00pm. lights out. home.

jem signing off.

i missed work on thursday and friday. can't blame. was down with slight fever due to a throat infection. kinda knew it was coming was so trying my best to prevent it. hahahahaha. i failed. nvm though. these 4 days rest were much needed, kinda recharged myself abit.

had plans to go running but was down with fever so may run this week? hahahaha. see how arh, not a passionate runner here. went bballing ytd though. was eager to see how i perform when i'm sick and not at my best.

hahahahaha. not very impressive eh. thats the conclusion. but still, was able to hold my own against some foreigners, most likely filipino, playing there. played 2 on 2 with them. didn't keep track of the score but was the main scorer on my team i think.

was slower, less agile and alert but compensated with an array of fakes on offense and experience on defense. not very impressed at what i can do but still quite proud of the fact that i can keep up with them when i'm sick.

work's tml. don't feel like going but well, once the engine starts running, it'll all be fine. thats the way it has been for the past weeks. lol.

oh yah, went to pasir ris beach to slack with sir, jj, kelly, winnie, maisie and joy on friday. nice trip i should say. update a little and talk cock abit. not in the condition to ton so went home at around 12 plus.

hmmmmm. feel like blogging on something else, but am quite tired now after project meeting just now. so am gonna slack for awhile before sleeping. hahahaha. prototype already out. huat arh! anton's a genius and i think i'm a genius at managing ppl too. had this team planned since last year and pulled such an it genius into our team. wahahahahahaha. tensai!

finally. its been a long road since 2005 i think. obstacles like failing to make it to the playoffs, early exits against phoenix suns for consecutive years, and an embarrassing loss in the finals against celtics. finally, kobe and lakers are at the top of the hill. nba 2009 champions. congrats.

over the years, its been fun following kobe's progressions. all the things he did to build up his legacy were crazy as hell. he did this, he did that, blah blah blah, too many to count. one hell of a roller coaster ride.

going for another 3 peat? possible with this group of players. kobe will still be my role player and idol. but i think its time i change to follow gilbert arenas for awhile. u see, i've nv stop following kobe's progressions cause he had nv won a championship in the post-shaq era. but now since he already won one, i kinda feel that the purpose of following kobe is done. these 2 years were quite boring in the fact that gilbert's not around. since he's back, i think i'll follow he's progressions. its really inspiring in following a person's dream in playing for a championship. it kinda motivates u.

alot of ppl's dream final matchup is kobe against lebron. for me, its kobe against gilbert.

lakers head coach and its big three i guess. pau gasol, kobe bryant and lamar odom.

a lil update. my lecturer came by my workplace to check up on my work progress. received positive remarks from my supervisor but there's still areas for improvements. so shall see what i can do. its a good learning experience.

went it show with ky after work on friday. just the 2 of us. slacked around town and i bought a basketball bag. pretty cool i should say.

went back to it show again ytd. my sis bought a new pc and i got an external hdd.

these aside. i'm planning to buy a new pair of bball shoes. my sort of burnt out the soles for my current pair. should i be proud? less than half a year i think. anyway, i'm kinda stuck cause singapore's adidas kinda don't have the shoes i want. searched the net and i can't really find results of it other than in chinese sites?

so here's the ebay page to the chosen one. lol. adidas gilrahna.

cool shit ain't it. and if i can't lay my hands on it. here's the substitute. gil zero low. i targeted the black and white one. quite an old shoe i think. but quite nice. as least for my standards.

ok. brain dead. gonna slp now.

hmmmm. how long has it been since sec 4? 3 years plus/minus? should be around there huh? so what have i achieved thus far? in my own opinion, nth. ky once told me he feels like he's a quitter. well for me, i feel like i'm a failure.

i think i've failed at almost everything. i've failed at friendship/brotherhood. i've failed to be a good family member. i'm still a no name in terms of bball. i'm a big time loser in relationship. i am not this, i am not that.

in these years, i've lost 4 really close friends. with these 4 gone, the group's real small now although the core of the group are still somewhat there. been real grateful that ky, jm, jj and justin are still around and there's an exciting addition in boss. but sometimes i wonder, won't things be way fucking cooler than now if the other 4 were still around? like more ppl to hang around with?

out of these 4, a couple of them has came to see us as a bunch of mofos for whatever reasons. for the other 2? well, i just didn't do a good job of keeping them around i think.

and this really sucks. for the ones that think that we are a bunch of mofos, it just prove how much a loser i am. for them to hang around us for so long and have them think of us in that manner is not something to be very proud of. for the ones that i've failed to keep around, all i'm gonna say is that i've messed up big time and that also, is not something to be very proud of.

if i'm the mediator of team18, i dare say i've failed terribly. and right now, i'm trying my very best to keep those really close friends around me and i hope i'm really able to. i don't wanna have another case whereby i will sit back one day and say, "fuck, why didn't i try to make things better with him/her?"

family. hah. these are people u see everyday. and i speak less than 10 words to my bro daily. pretty nice. i value intelligence and i respect the kind of intelligence he has. but, his kind of intelligence doesn't really appeal to me. in my opinion, i find that whatever he knows can be found in textbooks. ppl i really respect are ppl that can wow me with their not-in-textbook kind of intelligence, something call street smart or life experiences.

and seriously, i can't find anything to talk to my own brother. i've been thinking on how ky and me can talk non stop for hours and i can't last even 2 minutes with my bro.

aiyah. i don't know how to solve this fucking issue also. if i know, i won't be stuck right?

dream and passion. never really have much achievements in these area. failed to make it to the bball team in the first try out. joined ncc. went back for bball training upon invitation, failed to be matured enough to find a reason to stick around. failed to get second sergeant for ncc but managed to became a staff sergeant and supernumerary. however, i failed to receive recognition from the teachers in charge. am glad that i joined ncc for the ppl i'll eventually get to know but i will be left regretting for my whole life for not staying in the bball team.

also, i don't really know how to make myself feel better other than train my life away whenever i have the time. feeling pleased and happy with my achievements over some slight improvements. hahahaha. amateur. loser.

relationship wise? nv lasted more than 6 months. nice enough answer?

something's really wrong with me. i'm a major kick ass failure.

well well well, another week has passed. just like that, poof! gone.

been a pretty busy week. my boss wasn't around for the week so supposedly, we should be more free than usual, seems like thats not the case eh. software testing on monday and tuesday. pretty fun to be testing out a video editing software. i should say its one hell of a software.

for wed and thursday, been rushing out paperwork like a mad dog. non stop man. when you thought u were almost done, in came another set. hahahahahaha.

as for ytd. went down to camford business sch to do training for the video editing software i tested out. quite a nice "out of office" experience, but was kinda pissed. the freaking sch requested for training for their lecturers and they themselves weren't paying attention. felt like throwing my shoes at them.

they confirm can't dodge it. i'm the legendary v4 rocket pro. the last shot that i fired was way back in sec 4 at sim jing han. that guy is so big and i hit he's dick of all places. hahahahahaha. the sound freaking solid somemore.

anyway back to topic. those freaking lecturers. them not paying attention are unforgivable. they asked for the training session and we gave them one. their situation wasn't like mine. i don't pay attention during lectures because i have no choice but to attend, its not like i asked for those lectures. get what i'm trying to say?

good luck in asking us to do free trainings again. no way man. i'll ask my boss to charge u all. lol.

met up with roy on wednesday. meet up for dinner and then he came to my house to settle some psp stuff. nice meet up i should say.

but! nth beats meeting up with my brothers. ky and jm. met up today just to hang around. weekly practice i should say. went to survey the area that ky kena summon, times to freeload again and then burger king to crap. their marathon experiences are interesting. wanna predict my marathon timing if i ever run in one? i predict dnf. lol!

oh yah. lakers won ytd's nba finals game 1. 100-75. kobe had 40 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. hahahahaha. as expected from him. showing up whenever it mattered the most. keep this momentum man. let's go lakers!

thursday night! almost forgot about that incident. lol. was about to go to slp then saw this cockroach on my bro's bed. so went out to tell my mum i need her help in killing that pest.

strategy one. double team defense. my mum told me to spam pesticide at it when she used something to push it to the floor. sounds nice? plan backfired big time. the moment my mum attempted to push it, that cb cockroach took flight. yah, it fucking fly. its one hell of a kar zhuar.

next move? retreat lah. knn. normal cockroach already scare the shit out of me and now a flying one? eh, cannot call my pussy leh. everyone's got their fear. its just a sad case that i'm scared of cockroach. ky's scared of frog leh.

last move. my mum tried isolation play. and the best thing for me to do? get the hell out of her way. cannot possibly we 2 go in and blocked each other's way when that fucker is flying mah. so she went in and played one on one with that flying fuck. her weapon of choice? pesticide. she spammed that pesticide machiam its like para sia. i think she used up half a bottle leh.

best moment was the non stop spamming of the pesticide when the cockroach was already dying. then maybe its to vent her anger, my mum rolled up a newspaper and whacked the living shit out of the small amount of life force that's left of the damn kar zhuar. fucking funny. from thriller to comedy.

finally peace again. time to kun. so yah, i think it would definitely be a plus point if my future wife is not afraid of kar chuar. cannot be we 2 are afraid of the cockroach mah. what if one day one of it appears in our bed room? we 2 let it dominate and slp in living room meh? hahahahaha. but if she's scared. then bo bian lor. a man's gonna do what a man's gonna do at times. aiyah! future thing. who the hell knows what will happen? maybe i'll be a bachelor for life and have to face kar zhuars by myself? sad shit man.

noticed that greenday's new album is gaining some significant playtime on the radio. not bad. its an epic album i should say. really like it alot. anyway, i personally always thought that blink 182 has an unexplainable edge over greenday, so i'm expecting alot from blink's new album. but then again, i don't dare to set it too high in case of drastic disappointment. so take ur time lah huh blink 182. if u need one year to come up with that album then i'll wait one year. already waited for so long. one more year should be nth. i just hope that the new album will blow my mind off.

talking about blowing ppl's mind off.

photo taken during ytd's outing. hahahahaha. told them that i'm bring one home to edit. was thinking of putting a dick there. hahahahaha. better don't anyhow arh.

ok lah. slp!

hello. am currently at work, but there's nth to do. no one's in the office. boss's on leave, so is a colleague. one is out for lunch and the other is out for meeting.

been testing the company product in preparation for the training that i will be conducting on friday. lol. hope i don't screw up sia.

forgot to update on this the other time round. hell yeah, lakers are in the nba finals yet again. but this time, its against orlando magic. what happened to lebron james? he's gone fishing. terrific performance by him, but he's teammate don't quite cut it.

so maybe we have to wait for another year or 2 for the highly anticipated kobe-lebron nba final showdown. anyway, there's something that lebron did that i think was too unsportsman-like.

stomping off the court after losing game 6 of the eastern conference finals without even giving the opponent team a handshake and addressing the media? ppl are calling u soreloser out there for whatever reason you gave.

this year, i hope lakers will win it. seriously. orlando post a big problem for them in the paint with dwight howard, but i think with this team, they may pull out of this tough series. so here's my take on it. i think the lakers will win in 6 games. however, if the orlando manage to pull an upset this time round, it will be in 7 games at lakers home court. lets hope that won't happen. kobe please make it happen.

anyway, here's a few of nike basketball's newest advertisement. most valuable puppets. damn cute and funny.
