woah. been a long long time since i last updated. have been a sergeant for a couple of months. just finish my first course recently. produced a golden bayonet. power right? hahahaha. no lah, there's only one detachment in the previous course i took, no matter what sure train out a golden bayonet one.

being an instructor is really tiring, but its quite fulfilling to see your cadets grow day by day. found out that my temper's quite good. didn't really f-ed any trainees up until too jialat.

went for jw's bday celebration last week. hell fun but was too tired to last throughout the night. drove justin's mazda 3 around. happy like fuck. driving skills still ok. had fun talking cock with sec sch friends.

team18's the best there is for me. really. best group of ppl around.

going to thailand for exercise on sunday. will be back on 7th sep. sibeh sianned out right now. dont really feel like going but no choice.

ahhh fuck. whatever. update next time. see u all when i see u. =)

2011-06-05T18:42:00.003+08:00

back.

gonna officially be a sergeant in a couple of weeks time. not really excited about it. as in, moving my stuff over to pasir leba camp is gonna be a pain in the ass.

i'm more excited about seeing my first batch of trainees. really wonder what kind of instructor i'll be. i think i'm not cut out to be one cause i studied and passed my whatever tests in my course for the sake of passing them. never really thought i would stay behind and be an instructor u see.

life has been boring lately. what do you expect when all ur closest friends are serving ns albeit some lucky buggers by the name of waikit and justin. oh well, nth to complain about since pei ren's ord date is somewhere in 2050. hahahahahaha. epic right?

anyway, a little visit back to the past when we were not so sane and somewhat young and hopeless.

hahahahahahaha. top hug somemore eh? great great times back then.

2011-05-08T00:26:00.003+08:00

woo back. haven been blogging due to some problems with blogger and pure laziness. missed out blogging for the whole month of april but huan loh!

anyway, completed my mortar course already. stayed back in artillery institute as an instructor. so kena internal promotion to 3sg before everyone else. life as a non trainee is good. no tekaning but now, every mistake i make cannot be settled by just pumpings alone. stressed arh.

wanted to go 3sir and slack, but since posting out, so just suck thumb lor.

gonna try my best to be a good instructor. good as in approachable, knowledgeable and also dont anyhow tekan trainee. was trainee once arh, know how it feels. so pray i wont forget how trainee life was like and dont give them hell.

ok lah. epic tired. night.

2011-03-20T15:30:00.003+08:00

for the love of the game.

booking in yet again. emo. and can someone stop all the dying pls? its making me even more emo.

everything has fallen to pieces,
earth is dying, help me jesus.
we need guidance, we've been misled,
young and hostile, but not stupid.

2011-03-15T16:58:00.005+08:00

reached level 21 in life recently. 9th march to be exact. for those who cared, thanks alot. really appreciated it. didn't really celebrate it. not much to celebrate about. just another day. why celebrate growing older?

9th march wasn't exactly a fun day. started the day with a 28km route march. seriously, no fun at all. parade and posting after that. was posted to artillery. something i wanted but not the best conclusion for me. despite all the rantings that i do not want to stay back for aslc, i actually wanted it due to the fact that i can be an instructor either at pasir laba camp or bmt after that.

but after hearing from friends that i need to chiong sua during reservice, maybe pressing buttons and loading of rounds ain't that bad afterall.

heard the news that my great grandmother passed away just when i was packing up for home after everything's done. wasn't really affected by it initially but as the news slowly sinks in, it kinda got to me. still rmb the times when i would visit her every sunday with my grandma. not that close but still a family member yo. what's worse, i thought that she passed away on my birthday. in the end, she passed away 2 days before hand on my cousin's bday.

was at her wake for the next 2 days, couldn't really lift my spirits. the only thing i'm looking forward to that week was the dinner outing with team18. the only group of ppl around who without fail can turn my upside down smile into a real smile.

and true to their reputation, the outing was epic. felt way better after that outing. greatest group of ppl around.

anyway, now that i've turned 21, really makes me wonder whether have i lived it right so far? am i strong enough? am i matured enough? where would i be now if i was a lil more demanding? where would i be now if i was a lil more matured back then? and where would i be now if i was more of a bastard? i dont have the answers and doubt anyone else has them too.

looking back, i'ved played basketball for 13 years, have known members of team18 for almost a decade and have left dunman for almost 5 years.

recently, i kinda lost the motivation and will to play bball. almost forgot how it feels like to be free on the court perfecting ur craft. almost forgot the joy and satisfaction upon hearing the "swish". almost forgot the excitement of finding a new obstacle to overcome that u don't really know how to react but simply just smiled. pretty cool ain't it?

13 years and i'm still learning new stuff and am still chasing after someone's back trying to make a mark for myself. just learnt some new stuff ytd. =) but my left knee feels weird recently. weak to be exact, thanks to the 28km route march. i've kinda lost a step and my explosiveness as compared to me during my peak period. i still have my old "seh" as a player, but the me right now is an empty shell. the old me would just say "its just back to the court for more training". but it really takes alot of time and discipline to do that. too much things to master but too little time here. most of the time when i booked out, i just wanna go out and relax with team18 and if that's impossible, then stay home and enjoy the alone time.

really wonder how nba superstars like tracy mcgrady, gilbert arenas, grant hill and many others cope with their demise as a dominant player in the league. i am nth compared to them but i am already kinda fucking lost and confused here.

team18 eh. i used to say that they have been around for a long time but until i do the math, i have no idea it was this fucking long. 8 years since i know jj, the bro i've known the longest. 7 for ky, 6 for jm and jl, 5 for all the other guys and 2 years for the girls. according to ky, good relationship with anyone is definitely a 2 way effort and i fucking grateful that everyone in this group has put in effort. close to 5 years after graduating from dunman and they are still around. jl said it best, this team is for a lifetime already. so better stay true, stay close and hopefully, we'll still be drinking kopi and crapping tgt at some random kopitiam when we are old ah pehs. =)

now that i'm 21 and really has act my age and be sane all the time, i seriously miss the times when i was 16. back then, all we look forward to was sch and how to make sch-ing fun in our sense. to do things on our own terms, have fun, act stupid and get drunk with my best friends. 16 to 18, these 3 years were some of the greatest time in my life up until now. not that its not fun now, but seriously, its really fun back then just being young and hopeless.

ok. gonna end this post soon. just some words of wisedom from this self proclaimed genius. first up, have fun in life. live in the moment. serious, you are only young once, make it fun. dont waste ur youth with books, use ur youth to make alot of fucking great memories. although in the end, you may prolly end up like me. having trouble getting into a local university. but still worth it right?

good things come to those who work. trust me. but work smart eh. have faith and work towards ur goal, if u fail, at least u've tried. in life, not everything will go ur way, there will be things you can have and there will be things that aren't meant to be urs. so try ur best to deal with it. for my case, its either team18 or a more successful basketball "career". i chose team18 and have no regrets. so now, i have to deal with the basketball shit myself.

for whatever things u are trying to achieve, if u are losing faith, just train. if you dont feel good about urself, just train. if u aren't feeling confident, just train. if you dunno what's ur next step, just train. ur training is the only thing that wont betray u.

whatever u do, follow ur own pace. no one else knows what u want more than u. have fun during the process and at times, the outcome doesn't really matters. if u've learnt something from a failure, its already a good takeaway.

dont waste ur time asking why things are unfair. the world is unfair to begin with. instead, use the time spent on complaining to do something else. this is not "not giving a shit", its just not letting things get to u. you'll live happier that way. =)

family and friends before everything else. they will be the ones u run to when u are down. focus too much on career and at the end of the road, there will be no one there for u. true, lesser earnings, but i think the bond u have will worth much more.

dont waste ur time making tonnes of friends. u are not here to win a popularity contest. use ur time to make friends that will be there for u always. my case? team18holdings.

play to win, but winning isn't everything. there's always a lesson to be learnt when u lose.

respect, loyalty and teamwork.

ok. fucking hungry right now. gonna eat. and i need to book in tml, just the thought itself is killing me. fuck!

memories, make me want to go back there, back there.
all the memories, make me want to go back there, back there.
all the memories, how can we make it back there, back there.
i want to be there again.

2011-03-06T14:00:00.004+08:00

pardon me for the lack of updates eh. been somewhat busy lately. anyway, first up, happy belated bday to ky and jm and happy bday to jj.

been brothers for a long long time, hope that things will stay the same throughout eh. u all get what i mean, its in the sms-es i sent u all.

so what exactly happened in this one month void? for scs, there's fieldcamp which was epic hiong, non urban od package, section live firing, exercise wanderer, navigation/map handling test, matador and m203 live firing, urban ops, ioc test, aoc and lectures.

most of the activities were really fun and interesting. epic night view on a hilltop during field camp though we have no time to really appreciate it due to shellscrape digging and using every single chance to slp. spamming of smoke grenades. sitting on a bench in the dark with ur section mates while waiting for the night section live firing. wayne and his desire to have a run in with a ghost. navigating through the forest with a bunch of friends and having fun disturbing other teams and doing stupid things. all the stupid cock ups and mistakes we made be it purposely or unintentionally during urban ops. experiencing the shockwave of the matador sub caliber. locking each other out of the bunk while demanding for the password to enter. failed attempt to carry joel out of the bunk while he's slp-ing.

as for brothers, there's us meeting up to buy bday presents for those bday boys, hanging out as usual, ky's bday chalet at saf yacht club, jm's bday chalet at costa sands pasir ris, in between and hitting the "tiang", black jack, atm machines, poker set, remote controlled helicopter and baileys.

so yah. graduating from scs foundation term in 3 days time. there's a 28 km route march though. what a pain in the ass. hope some of us will be tgt for the pro term. alright. shall stop here.

2011-02-06T17:30:00.003+08:00

booking in loh! epic sianned. hate this feeling. but! after u booked in, you'll feel just right at home. weird eh?

met up with members of team18holdings ytd. great outing. street fighters, blackjack and in between ftw yo. jl really sad case, not the host for this year but still lose until cui. hahahahaha. up there lah bro.

anyway, there's saw live fire tml. tolong ah tolong ah. don't let anything go wrong, i die also need to book out on friday night. alot of stuff to do.

i think there's field camp this week. hope it'll be fun. should be learning section movements and all these bah. interesting! but the force prep is a major pain in the ass. an hour plus infront of coy line leh. waste time only.

no mood.

2011-02-02T15:48:00.001+08:00

last night it came as a picture,
with a good reason, a warning sign.
this place is void of all passion,
if you can imagine it's easy if you try.
believe me i failed this effort,
i wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
this time where are you houston,
is somebody out there, will somebody listen?

from my favourite punk poets - blink 182. =)

2011-02-01T20:40:00.002+08:00

hey hey, i'm back.

quick update. got my first badge in army! lol. ippt gold badge. happy. i still rmb the first badge i got in ncc, its the total defense bronze badge, hahaha. anyway, hope there are more to come.

cny's around the corner. going to meet up with members of team18holdings this sat. sexcited! haven really see them in a long long time.

the week wasn't that smooth for me. denied another chance to prove my worth. like seriously. if i fail after i have the chance, i will admit defeat. not even a chance and u give me a reason thats out of my control? wtf right? but whatever, life's like that.

played bball in the morning at pasir laba camp. got a lil serious while playing cause there's 2 poly sch team players on the opponent team. so yeah, wanted to test my abilities and my worth. nah beh. gap quite big i should say, or maybe i really got uber rusty. but on a happier note, gave quite afew blocks. =)

booked out early cause those who had gold for ippt had privileges. reached home, went bballing again on my own. haven done this in like months, feels real good. but it rained, cycled to the sheltered court. played some matches with some lower sch players. damn, kids nowadays are skillful. the jeremy way back in sec 2 maybe able to put up a good fight but will lose for sure i think. but maybe i dont have confidence in myself. i think everyone knows it eh. my confidence took a real big hit after my 2 to 3 years low point in bball.

anyway, charlie charlie bravo, my scs 4d number came up in lottery starters! i fucking nv buy! walao eh. my bunk mate said if i bought even $2 big, at least got 1k. =(((( heart pain.

oh yah. good news to myself.

yellowcard - 22nd march
sum 41 - 29th march
blink 182 - may/june
new found glory - later in the year

happy like fuck.

gotta slack and watch some movies. =)

the perfect lie.

2011-01-30T12:39:00.002+08:00

holy shit. close to one month of not updating. have no time, no momentum for blogging, so shall rapid fire through this.

since the previous post, i've pop-ed from bmt. the 24km route march was nice, but it was mentally tiring. walked throughout the night yo.

it was krabi after that with jm, joy, boss, jl, jm's friend and my platoon mate hong jun and another platoon mate of mine, lester.

trip was epic. drove around, night markets, rock climbing, snorkeling, canoeing, hot spring and many more. photos to be up when i get them from jm and when i have the freaking time. =)

was posted to scs. hotel company yo. it was fun. lots of freedom. was appointed leader platoon sergeant before being raised to be leader sergeant major. stepped down from the appointments already yo. but the 6 days were stressed as hell. ppl just dont listen sometimes.

had games day and family engagement day at scs ytd. pretty nice. my coy's bball team was eliminated in the first round. i wasn't in that team yo. the team ic anyhow picked the members. so yah lor, i'm not saying i should be on that team but i believe i can do much more than the members who were on that team. seriously, when rp and np sch team members dont make that team, u have to admit that the team ic is fucked up in his selection of members. the team he picked cannot even score one point against my team when we were playing and i am not playing my natural pos. was playing center instead of shooting guard.

whats worse. despite my size and strength disadvantage, i managed to give the 2 centers of the main team a hard time. =)

ok lah. its all over, no use brooding over it. i believe that my time to leave it all out there will come soon. anyway, got gold for ippt, so happy that i'm $200 richer.

ciao.

2011-01-01T16:49:00.005+08:00

happy new year everyone. i welcomed this new year with jj and jl. was just slacking around with them at downtown the whole time. monopoly deal, dai di, food, music and jiao weis, that's pretty much all we did.

anyway, its the time of the year that i hate the most. lol. its like hitting the restart button. needa come up with new year resolution or something like that. ok. this year, my resolution shall stay the same, 1024 x 768. hahahahaha. thats for my monitor.

anyway, dont have performance review to conduct cause i didn't make any resolutions last year. hahahaha.

did brought over something hateful from 2010. the legendary tekong cough. been at it for 1 month plus. power not? kinda recovered somewhere in the middle of my bmt phase but the major lack of good food during field camp/sit test period made me went haywire after i booked out, thus my current condition. i seriously think that its just a matter of time before i cough out blood and scare the shit outta my mum. =))

i'll spend the bulk of my time this year serving ns, so really nth much to look forward to. i only hope i can become a commander, from my current outlook, most likely a sergeant, and grow and learn more from the process of becoming a commander.

seriously hope that i'll be posted to bmt after i finish my commander course so that i can train recruits. just like the good old ncc days, grooming the next generation. the best possible outcome will be doing it with my current section mates then at least ns life will be fun. hahaha.

as for team18holdings, nth much to say bout this bunch of ppl. they've been there for a long long time in my life, making life fun and its struggles less painful and i'm pretty sure that they wont go anywhere else in the visible future. still my favourite group of ppl. i only hope for the best for them. hope 2011 will be another great year ahead for us though we're pretty much slowing down in havoc-ing but it is good also, shows the growth in us. lol.

basketball wise. dont think i'll be touching it often. haven even touched it once since i enlisted. was planning to train awhile ytd but it rained. too bad. shall see how things go. i think i've come to terms with putting a full stop to my basketball dream. but as i've said, lets see how things go.

i hope i get a placing in smu but thats pretty hard with my "not so up there" gpa. i'm looking forward to the krabi trip with members of team18holdings and i hope after 4 years of drifting, learning, healing, slacking and waiting, i'll be successful this time round.

i still dont have faith in it yet and this might actually be my final bet. ain't gonna show hand yet cause i'm all confused on the next step and i sense hesitation.

anyway! gonna prepare to meet up with my favourite ppl now. =)

2010-12-26T15:40:00.003+08:00

belated merry xmas ppl.

the past few weeks were pretty hectic. had field camp, sit test and hand grenade throwing. field camp made me cherish all the little things in life more. overall, it was fun but damn tiring due to the major lack of slp. shell scrape was shit. my area was filled with bricks all the way, took me 5 damn hours to finish it. held a slacking party at my shell scrape the next day because my shell scrape was the biggest. hahaha. i made it wider and longer so i have more space to slp inside. smart eh? was mind fucked on the day we get our letters, cried for the first time since dunno when.

sit test was fun, but the weather really dampened the mood. rained both days when we were about to slp. but the instant noodle session on the second day was real fun. don't really know why but slacking around in the forest with a bunch of friends is really fun. its time like this where ppl bond man.

hand grenade was fun too. the dummy practice the day before was quite tiring. everything went smoothly for my wave on the actual day itself, no blind so quite happy. everything was done on time, went back to coy line and ended up doing shit jobs like area cleaning and plucking of weeds off the sides of the kerbs. really wonder why i get a diploma for. hahahaha.

xmas eve was quite well spent. did what i need to do and count down with team18holdings at harry's. split up at around 1am but went back to burnt mac to talk cock with ky until 2 plus 3.

ok lah. gonna get ready to meet up with my dear team18 brothers for dinner before booking in. book in timing 2110. song right? confirm lights out at 2330 or 0000. honggan. lesser slp-ing time.

2010-12-04T22:36:00.004+08:00

week 4 is over.

what a hectic week. ifc for the monday and tuesday, leopard crawled in mud but confirm its nth as compared to the field camp for the coming week.

wednesday was spent resting and cleaning up my wife, tracy. hahahaha.

had live range on thursday. was in line for best shot. had 16/16 for day shoot but tracy's lad zeroing was off so had problems during the night shoot. so in the end zhun zhun 26/32, just nice for marksman.

woke up at like 0445 for the live range and went to slp at 0645 the following morning. swee not? shag ttm. could have been faster if not for the 1 hour plus rain and 4 hours plus black out. hahahaha.

field camp next week. kinda looking forward to it and kinda not. am looking forward to the talking cock sessions, the night views, the ghost walk and so on. not so looking forward to the mind fuck and tekaning sessions.

and oh yah. tekong had some good sceneries man. the night sky is awesome. filled with stars, unlike singapore. and there's this place behind rocky hill camp that overlooks the whole forested area in tekong and had a sea view, very nice place. one of my section mates wanna request our sec com to take us up there one more time after all the high key events are over just to slack. good good idea.

till next time yo and good luck for tml's stand chart arh, jm and ky.

2010-11-27T17:34:00.002+08:00

hey hey, finally booked out. lol. actually this is the second book out already. the first one was on hari raya eve. out for less than 24 hours and then booked in again.

what can i say up util now? hmmm, other than the scorching sun and tekaning sessions, army life is quite fun. can't sit down though, cause the moment my butt touch something solid, jit tao slp one. lol.

took ippt. got pass only. but potential gold. only station to work on now is my chin up. the previous one i think at least 8 chin ups but counted as 6 nia. so sadded.

2.4 improved alot over the few weeks. first time i ran was 10.12 and now it improved to 9.22. hope can break into the 8 minutes mark, but confirm need to train like one dog.

had imt ytd. marksman seh. 31/32. not bad hor. hope live range is somewhat exactly the same. lol.

gonna meet brothers soon. =)

2010-11-07T16:23:00.003+08:00

going on vacation tml. going away to the famed tekong chalet. so as u all know, free lodging, free gym, free food and blah blah blah, all the other craps.

gonna side track abit from all my slackings for the time being and protect the nation. lol. lets just buy into that for now eh. kinda makes me feel a lil bit important eventhough it really is a "no choice have to serve" situation. haven't really decided if i'm gonna full throttle or half ass through ns yet, but it does serve as a good medium to test my abilities.

went out with bros on friday. watched due date. very good comedy. and then out with ky and jw ytd. drank abit to commemorate the end of an era. no joke, these close to 4 years of post sec sch life were some of my best years. a great era indeed.

so anyway, here's to the next step. first contact in almost 3 weeks time. till then, members of team18holdings and close friends, do take good care of urselfs. u do know who u are so i don't need to list ur names out.

and finally, team18holdings ftw!!!

2010-11-04T23:25:00.005+08:00

what is this?

i am feeling uber shock at my sudden mortality. this is shit.

its funny and frightening at the same time. and the things i did? epic.

well, at least that after so long, i know i am still human, vulnerable and can still bleed.

peace out.

2010-11-01T22:22:00.005+08:00

went bballing just now. simply went all out. wanted to beat all the basics i've learnt over the years into my body/brain. dont think i'm gonna touch bball much in these 2 years. so my body/brain have to remember them for 2 years.

this happened once during sec sch period. but i did touch bball quite often then. just didn't trained. well, lets see how things go eh. found some other stuff that i'm interested in. might actually move away from bball.

haha, glad to say that i still got it. as in still can blast past/beat 3 defenders and score. can draw double team defense from the other teams also. =)

played with some ballers today. the opponent team seems to be training for some biz shield/league series kind of tournament. well, they didn't know there's a 09 biz shield champion there. hahaha. me! wahahahahaha!

well, the team i was with were just some dudes having fun. not even equipped properly. normal clothing, berms and slippers. skills level not on par with the other team also.

another lop-sided match up. me likey. we lost though. 11-7. but still quite song. locked down their best player to only 1 point, he scored the game winner though. damn. so u know where the other points came from eh. hahahaha. i did my best covering for them. 1 man can only do so much. tried assisting them but really didn't work out fine so took matters into my own hands once again. there's where the beating 3 defenders and drawing double team defense shiokness came in. had muscle ache from ytd's work out. so wasn't really as effective as always. 120 pumpings at one shot. what to do? imagine if i'm really at my best. maybe, just maybe, we might actually win.

anyway. lost. talked awhile then resumed my own "beating the basics in" training. nah beh. trained until really shagged. but subway for dinner. so at least i'm happy now.

good charlotte's new album leaked online. bunch of nice songs. a pretty nice present before bmt. the best would be blink 182's new album though.

good charlotte - counting the days

wake up, go to work, come home, it's not working
we've been living our whole lives
on a system that is broken
your words, i hear them
they're sharp, can't get near them
we got one last chance,
one more time to make this happen

we got one time, time to get this right
two times and you know it's not my style
three's company, just you and me,
we need to figure this one out
four letter words are all you said
five minutes later we're in bed
can't count on you to love me,
but i can count the days since you've been gone

break up, i come home, i realized that its not working
you're gone and it echoes
i miss the noise of all our fighting
and you know that i don't mean a word i say
and i know that you don't wanna stay away
how long am i gonna be counting the days you're gone

we got one time, time to get this right
two times and you know it's not my style
three's company, just you and me,
we need to figure this one out
four letter words are all you said
five minutes later we're in bed
can't count on you to love me,
but i can count the days since you've been gone

ever since i saw you,
there was no-one else, just you and me
(you're all that i could see)
but i got this problem
i don't know how to say what i mean, what i mean

we got one time, time to get this right
two times and you know it's not my style
three's company, just you and me,
we need to figure this one out

we got one time, time to get this right
two times and you know it's not my style
three's company, just you and me,

four letter words are all you said
five minutes later we're in bed
can't count on you to love me,
but i can count the days since you've been gone

wake up, go to work, come home, it's not working
we've been living our whole lives
on a system that is broken

the madden brothers really are talented.

ok lah. slack now.

2010-10-31T22:25:00.002+08:00

one more week and all the members of team18holdings will be doing their national service although some of us are finishing soon.

2 years of training. personally, i hope that after these 2 years, we may actually come out being crazier than how we used to be. we took fun to the max level we knew and maybe after 2 years of oppression under the government, we may actually crack and bring fun to a whole new level. if 10 is the max, then we shall go to 11! lol. lets see how things go eh.

nth much for the week. bball on monday, and then i practically cui-ed for the next few days. still helped my mum out with alot of things though. but then, doing shopping with her sometimes sucks me dry of my life force, pissed to the max. its like taking a bullet to ur nuts. hahaha.

home alone for the bulk of friday. some important stuff in the morning, home, applied for smu, bed, cycled to buy lunch, home, cycled to tp to print my result slip again, cycled in the rain, rear wheel slipped abit and drifted, home, cycled out for dinner, saw joy, had dinner with jm and her, went to develop their photos with them, bought mac to eat eventhough it was just after dinner, home, ate mac, slacked and slp.

was out the whole day with my mum and sis ytd. great day out and then rotted at home today. blogging's my last resort.

oh yah. important shit. i may actually be moving back to bedok depending on the situation and my parents' decision. my grandma wants us to go back and live with her. i can tell u, seriously, if we move back, fuck me and shoot me with a gun right after that. hahaha.

first up, that apartment is small and sharing the bedroom with my grandpa and bro is unthinkable. already had some disputes sharing room with my bro and now this, taking operation "fuck jem" to a whole new level?

ok, even if we get a different apartment in the same building. it'll still suck. of course, jj's gonna be living near me like how we used to. like a stone throw away if i throw really hard.

but here's the thing. jj might be moving to tampines in the near future. here's the deal, bedok's not bad a place, i used to live there, that place is my root but the headquarters of team18holdings is in tampines. hell no am i leaving tampines. my life's here. everything i need is here.

dont really know what to do other than my usual approach. 走一步，看一步。

2010-10-29T23:28:00.011+08:00

had nth to do on sunday so decided to take my bike and went for a ride. initially, i wasn't fixed on any location but i decided find my root once again, to the place where i grew up and started my basketball journey.

somewhere around tp, there's an entrance into bedok town park, from there continue until u see the first overhead bridge and there's where my primary school used to be.

used to be known as min xin primary, now a malay old folks' home i think. well, this is where i started my basketball journey.

a closer view.

that was our assembly area.

and this was our basketball court. i would probably be able to dunk if the rim is still there.

our side gate. yeah. normally from here, my friends and i would embark on a short trip towards our favourite place.

well, this isn't the place. our favourite place is further down. but back then, the fence/gates weren't here at all.

this is our rival court. normally we will travel here just to give the rivals here a good thrashing. hahaha.

nothing much has changed other than the fences.

close up view of their rim.

part of the route to our own basketball court.

a stopover along the way. we will usually wait here for a friend to go home and change.

one of the "coolest" place along the route.

lol. we used to fool around and got our basketballs stuck over the ledge. wonder how we got them down though.

further down and you'll reach block 533.

used to be my favourite place. we did alot of stupid stuff here. block catching, stealing of ppl's slippers when ours spoilt, picking up g strings that dropped from bamboo sticks and pulling them over our friend's head.

the place where we played gameboys and talked cock.

and just beside u will come to this resident corner.

favourite spot to play card games. little exposure to the surroundings so police won't know that primary school students are playing dai di here. lol.

there was always a mentally handicapped uncle here who will always swear at us, so one fine day, we decided to bombard him with grass jelly. not a good thing to do, but still, it was thrilling back then.

favourite spot to stop for a drink.

the mama shop there.

the playground where we used to fool around. the starting point for our block catching too. it wasn't like this in the past. looks like this is the only thing here that's changed over the years.

and there u go. once my favourite basketball court in the world. would come here almost everyday. would leave home at 10am and go home at around 7 in the evening during school holidays. when i was in primary school, we got to know some of the bedok town sec basketball team players and eventually became very close friends with them and played with them everyday. thats how i got my basketball basics. playing against older, more experience players and nv winning them really caused me to push myself to the limit everyday.

these bench were where we challenged each other to see who can finish their packet of chicken rice faster. hahaha. of course, the secondary school boys will win.

the not so favourable side of the court.

this is where we will put our bags, relax in between games and spectate games.

our side of the court.

over the years, nth has changed. not even the colour scheme of this court.

close up view.

oh yah, along the way to the court, you will come across this small park/area.

one of the staircase leading up to it.

quite a nice relaxing place to be at albeit for the abundance of mosquitoes.

there used to be a swinging bench here. guessed over the years, it just gave way. best place to relax. my friends used to bring the girls they like here to pak tor. lol.

sometimes when we got tired of hanging around at 533, we will run over to a female friend's estate and hang out there instead. and this, is our daytona track. nth fancy though. just primary sch kids racing with their bikes though the bike accidents can be pretty funny at times.

while the rest are off racing or playing, some of us will just chill here.

another playground meaning another starting point for block catching.

there was a underground tunnel around that estate and on the other side of the tunnel is another paradise. this playground was part of it. its not a starting point for our block catching though, its the place where we would go and wait for a female friend while she went home to prepare to slack around with us. oh yah. fyi, my friends and i were from min xin primary but the female friends we had were from telok kurau primary.

the basketball court there.

so yah, this is the underground tunnel i mentioned.

staircase out of the tunnel.

ramp for bikes.

the sheltered walkway back to 533.

this is the overhead bridge at the middle part of bedok town park connecting it to block 533. u can see it along a certain expressway which i forget along bedok.

view from heaven. lol.

ok. thats was my trip down memory lane. a pretty fun part of my life. of course, dunman sec days and post secondary schools days with team18holdings are still my fav. but this is my root, the place where everything begins. my slacker and drifter attitude and of course my long, underachieving relationship with basketball.

thats all folks.

2010-10-24T13:50:00.002+08:00

met up with dk on friday. walked around town and talked cock. nice outing. still the same old dk i knew. my partner in crime for pranking ky back in the ncc days. he's now a sportsman. very into hockey. good thing. more things in common now. lol.

pool with brothers ytd. the attendance was good. the outing was epic. peiren did some stunt again. last ball, mistook the black ball for the cue ball and shot it. epic foul which resulted in my win. hahaha.

slacked around after that and then its home sweet home for everyone. the whiskey brothers booked out only in the morning so better let them go home early to rest up arh.

so now, what should i do to keep myself occupied?

2010-10-21T21:22:00.003+08:00

great day out with brothers ytd. slacked around and crapped. can't get any better. made plans for next week. chalet or major slacking at pasir ris beach.

today's a great day too. plenty of reasons to be happy.

1) went bballing. what can i say, my passion. trained on a new move, showed good results too.
2) pulled 12 chin ups. hahaha. results of doing training at the back of the truck where the grip is like shit.
3) just dl-ed one piece 13th opening. epic nice song.
4) just read one piece 601. romance dawn for the new world. f-ing awesome.

well. hope tml will be better.

counting the days. 2 weeks plus. omg!

ok. short and sweet post.

2010-10-12T22:45:00.003+08:00

wah. balls almost dropped. the circuits tripped when i was switching on my fan. and when everything was ok, guessed what's not working fine? my external hdd. straight away no morale.

know what's inside not? all my sitcoms, movies and animes. actually, movies and other animes can forget it. can always dl them when i wanna watch. but my collection of one piece and sitcoms, epic ttm ok?

good thing, i'm a natural genius. kept double copies of the really important files. these files are like an old navy seals' war medals to me. f-ing precious. they are the photos and video clips that team18holdings took over the years. really precious stuff. those memories: priceless.

anyway, went running. u know there are times when u are in ur absolute best and u broke ur own record and u are especially proud of urself? well. there one more occassion where u might actually be even more proud of urself. i think that time is when u are at ur absolute worse and u still manage to push urself to cover the same distance when u are at ur absolute best albeit a slower timing. i did just that today. determination ftw yo.

actually, i realised one's determination might actually have a direct correlation to his/her gl-ness. like u know? gl ppl nv give in? so the more gl-ness u have, the more determination u have in a sense.

hahaha. finally, my external hdd nv spoil. the adapter spoil nia. thats y balls nv dropped. lol! actually wont drop also. at most re-download those stuff nia. plus i have lots of time nowadays.

2010-10-10T14:08:00.004+08:00

so today's 10-10-10 huh?

gets me thinking. so far, i've survived the millenium, the millenium bug, sars, secondary school, 6-6-6, 9-9-9, h1n1, etc. whats next? 2012! and i am coming straight for u yo!

malaysia on monday with my mum. nice trip. the only purpose of going to malaysia is to eat. could have stayed longer but my mum wasn't feeling well so reached home by 3 plus. went running though. something got into me and i simply went all out.

not a really smart decision because i cant really walk properly for the next 2 days. hahaha. but come on, its not training if u don't go all out right?

so for the next 2 days that i can't walk properly, i pretty much still accompanied my mum to do her daily shoppings. lets just say i'm doing what i can when i'm still free.

met up with my insurance agent along with jj then its full time hanging out in town.

cycled from pasir ris to the tip of east coast and back on friday. super shagged. plus a lapse in concentration resulted in me buang-ing. hahahaha. my mind drifted off somewhere eh and when i came to, the front wheels already at the edge of the pavement.

the injuries are not really painful but more of a nuisance. cant slp properly and no bballing for at least a week. holy shit.

queenstown with ky ytd. i have nth to do and he needs someone to accompany him to shop. so why not? i'm like freaking free everyday.

regretted quitting my job so early. was thinking that maybe 1 month is enough to rest. but seriously, i have too much time right now and nth to do.

ok lah, there's something to do but it is not looking that great.

and crap. jj's block leave ends today. =(

2010-10-01T22:51:00.004+08:00

here i stand
with lines drawn in the sand
on each side there’s an ocean
staring out to see the lights as they pull me in

it’s brings me close to home
i start to swim alone
the stillness of the sea
comes crashing at my feet
i try to watch the sky for signs of a new life
i try to stay with what i know

i don’t wanna follow sorrow down
i don’t wanna live a life without
the past is over now

i don’t wanna ever let you down
i don’t wanna die, i don’t know how
i hope you’ll stick around
we’re lost until we’re found

i had that dream
where i just can’t wake up
i’m standing on the edge of my little world
i’m filled with silent sounds and bliss

with little to believe
i think i found the words
a story to be heard
with every whisper

i try to watch the skies for signs of a new life
there’s so much that we don’t know

i don’t wanna follow sorrow down
i don’t wanna live a life without
the past is over now

i don’t wanna ever let you down
i don’t wanna die, i don’t know how
i hope you’ll stick around

you never know, you’re high or low
there is a lot i’ve got to learn
you start so fast, you never last
thinking the time was mine to burn

you never know, you’re high or low
there is a lot i’ve got to learn
you start so fast, you never last

i don’t wanna follow sorrow down
i don’t wanna
the past is over now

i don’t wanna ever let you down
i don’t wanna die, i don’t know how
i hope you’ll stick around
you’re lost until you’re found

oh, you’re lost until you’re found
oh, you’re lost until you’re found
oh, you’re lost until you’re found
oh

tonnes of thoughts running in my head now. guess this one month will be my last month focusing on bball. learnt that we dont always get what we want after a heart to heart talk session with a couple of friends. time to stop, i'm missing out on so much opportunities along the way. 13 years. its not that easy to put down. sometimes, it feels like i'm at a crossroad. i wanna take a step forward and move on but when i think about the years spent on it, i'm afraid i might regret that decision. seriously, i know my skill level is pretty high if i get real serious, but despite that, i still feel quite useless at times because bball is the only thing i'm good at. wonder how i will feel like after putting it down? wonder what life will be without it?

i feel like renting a bike and just cycle around for one day on my own. just explore. disappear. maybe i'll do that next week.

hmmmm. i might have gotten my hands on something that i can't handle right now. i guess i shouldn't approach this situation with the thought of failure in mind at all. i might not be the best for it right now but as long as i give it my best, everything will be fine.

had too much time on my hands and went back to friendster to read up on all the old testimonials. remembered how i used to be. great life back then, great outlook on life back then also.

hitting 21 soon. time to take on the obstacles in life head on. dig deep jem, dig deep. it'll be a long fight till the end.

we don't live our life just to find our purpose for living. its what we do in our short lifetime that matters.

guess i should learn from my old self and dont be so hard on myself at times, have a simple outlook on life, just do the best i can in everything and enjoy every single processes as they unfold.

be optimistic, asshole. =)

2010-09-30T22:00:00.002+08:00

daddy's home! lol. thats directed at tp bball court.

been a very long time since i went there to play bball. hahaha. training on bball really feels great. the swishing sound is really sweet.

6 months hiatus and the skill level is still there. of course, i do need to do some rust removal and my senses all not that sharp yet. but overall, quite satisfied with what i am now. expected myself to be alot weaker.

strength training accomplised via carrying of goods at harvestlink really paid off eh. lesser strength needed to shoot. get tired less easily also.

went running on sunday and worked for 2 days. training and playing of bball with jm ytd and i still got the strength to wake up at 6 plus today to go running. hoseh boh?

ok lah. got really bored at home thats why decided to blog abit. excited eh! after one month of waiting, new one piece chapter coming out either later on or tml. hahahaha.

planning to wake up at 6 plus again tml to go train on bball. =)

2010-09-27T21:11:00.004+08:00

男人，
能为兄弟两内插刀，
为女人插弟兄两刀。

hahahaha. how true is that? epic. came across this while crapping with my colleague during work.

really like my work because of the ppl there. makes the work which is tiring as hell not so tiring. sad case, i'm gonna leave soon to rest and train up for ns.

pretty much one of the reason why at times, i prefer work that allows me to run around rather than sitting in the office. get a chance to run around and experience a whole different world with very interesting ppl. the kind of experiences and skills that you learnt from these ppl are really useful for life. no joke.

anyway, check this out.

bathe and slp. sounds like a nice plan. =)

2010-09-26T01:13:00.004+08:00

man a: it's call mindfucking. you ever been mindfucked before?
man b: i don't think so.
man a: i'm mindfucking you right now.
man b: you are?
man a: can you feel my dick fucking your mind?
man b: i don't think i can really feel anything.
man a: see, that's it. that's the art of it. i'm mindfucking the shit out of you.
man b: hope you're wearing a condom cause i got a dirty mind.
*awkward pause.
man b: that's a joke.
man a: it's no time to joke. mindfucking is not no joke.

lol. epic shit. go download get him to the greek. nice movie yo.

anyway. my freaking htc snap snapped 2 weeks ago. only went down to htc service center today. demanded for a one to one exchange. hope everything went well.

shopping with my mum and bro after that. broke as fuck right now. but thats ok. mum and bro are happy. thats enough yo.

went out with a workmate just now. wanted to play pool at ehub. waited for one hour still no table available. in the end went for supper and drove around in our company van. i was the one driving yo. did nth much but driving was fun. brushed up my skills a lil bit. =)

till next time then.

2010-09-18T19:46:00.003+08:00

儿子是路人，
女儿是亲人，
媳妇是仇人，
女婿是佣人。

lol. what an interesting concept. from my point of view, its pretty true. hahaha.

here's another nice fact. according to studies, with every relationship a person gets into, he or she will lose an average of 2 buddies per relationship. hahaha. cb, who so bo liao go do this kind of study?

anyway! had a very nice holiday outing with a few members of team18holdings. to me, brothers' gf aka brothers by extension are considered members of this great organisation.

went to jb. ate until we drop. the climax of the trip was my daytona duel with ky. lol. according to jw, we 2 are competing internationally in daytona.

2 rounds. sexciting to the max. its been a long time since i got so excited playing a game. was so excited that my hands were trembling and i felt abit giddy after that.

lost the first round by a car's length. lol. lost focus and drifting abit longer at the last turn. won the second one though. this time, its ky's turn to lose focus.

score check. location - singapore. jeremy 6, ky 1.
- malaysia. jeremy 1, ky 1.

anyway, we returned to singapore at around 7 plus. after which, i went to kallang/geylang to hang out with my workmates. dinner with them and then walked around geylang for awhile. they decided to go ktv but i skipped it. was too tired to hang out until so late.

photos as usual yo.

sparkling ribena spam.

random shot by joy.

members of team18holdings.

full strength of that trip.

ok bye peeps.

2010-09-01T22:23:00.004+08:00

the coolest, funniest, most retarded, most guai lan, most fun loving ppl i know. my kind of ppl, my favourite ppl around.

i always believed that i could have been borned elsewhere, like in america or bangladesh and have a totally different group of ppl as my brothers.

but be it destiny, a twist in fate, a cruel joke by superior beings or anything else, i've become brothers with these shit heads.

ppl are looking for miracles all the time, but actually, miracles have already happened around them. seriously, with these many ppl in the world and u crossing path u those destinied few u cherish, its truly a miracle. go do the math. its hard finding just one, its fucking way harder finding so many.

seriously, there's alot of things i've regretted doing, but i've nv regretted the choices i've made which led me to anyone of them. and seriously, there's alot of things i would trade for something else like money, but not my bonds with anyone of them.

this is my lifestyle, this is my brotherhood.

peaceout.

2010-08-29T13:28:00.006+08:00

wah honggan, one piece on 2 years time skip and 1 month break. hurray to the time skip but fuck, one month without one piece is like one month without sex. lol. although i dunno how it feels like yet but i'm sure u get my drift.

i'm pretty sure the in my moment close to death before one piece is completed, i will be swearing something like, "fuck! i still haven finish one piece!" and i'm also pretty sure that if i survive death is partially due to me wanting to see one piece's ending. lol.

anyway, went to watch the hole 3d with ky. he won the tickets from dunno what competition and his gf cannot make it so he asked me out. nice one arh. lol.

from the title of the movie, i seriously thought it was a horror film. kao peh-ed him from the moment we met until almost halfway through the movie. hahahahaha. can't blame me arh. my balls don't like ghost.

he told me that the hole is g rated and the name is like not so scary, so its gonna be fine but i kept on saying, "fuck, cb. the ring and the eye also don't sound scary. in the end also horror film." lol.

that aside. first time watching 3d leh. quite song actually.

us with the 3d glasses on.

work until now has been both fun and tiring. spent the whole of last week in sim's new extension building installing the chairs and table for 1 of their 28 new lecture halls. cb. 1 lt takes around 1 week. 28 lt leh. go do the math urself.

sneak peek to sim new lecture hall. ain't completed yet. those buggers studying in sim or are planning to study in sim, please be nice when use the new lecture halls. my hardwork u know?

oh yah, was working at sim ytd and the main comm of the project were organising the 中元普渡. so after everything's done, they distributed the fruits, drinks and food. cb fucking epic. those banglahs and indians chiong like they were hungrier than the hungry ghosts man. epic shit. i totally stunned when i saw the scene.

ok lah. at least logged one post for august. not bad also. ciao.

2010-07-09T22:26:00.002+08:00

been freaking long since i last blogged. been somewhat busy. started work on 1st july. well, the work's tiring but the people there are good.

next week will be more hiong. they say i've only seen the tip of the iceberg this week. lol. next week on site work. pray the work site got elevators. so no need carry the parts up the steps. fucking 30kg per box hor. no joke.

oh yah. what job am i working? see those chairs u sit on at polyclinics? or those chairs in classes or lecture halls? yeah. those are what i do. its like dnt all over again. everyday screwing things. lol. ok, sounds wrong.

another thing. big news. lebron james is leaving cavaliers to join dwayne wade along with chris bosh in miami heat. 2 top tier players in lebron and wade and a second tier superstar in bosh. lets just say this is the most talented team in nba history.

lebron changing team is not a big deal to me actually although this means lakers wont be able to make a three peat next second. this move by lebron actually wont put him with the all time greats anymore in my perspective.

why? its because lebron cant win a championship on his own team and need to join wade and bosh to get his first ring. thats why.

what about kobe? at least he won all 5 with his sole nba team. the lakers. i seriously think that lebron should stay in cleveland and lead the team. kobe was in this position before. even michael jordan was in this position before.

well, whats done is done. there's a new nba powerhouse team in town. hahahaha. it would be fun to see lakers against miami heat in the finals. i wonder what strategy phil jackson is gonna come up with. and if lakers manages to win against this powerhouse in the finals, it would only means that kobe is better than not just lebron alone, but lebron and wade together. =)

the deadliest trio in nba right now.

alright. dota with jj.

2010-06-19T16:11:00.003+08:00

lakers is the nba champion again. back to back yo. hahahaha. my prediction went wrong. thought that celtics would win should there be a game 7, but lakers came through despite being down 13 points at one point of the game. lets make it a 3 peat yo.

below are the mini movies to the 7 games of the nba finals.

these are the moment u live for man.

2010-06-13T21:52:00.003+08:00

november 8, 11.45am. that's the time to report for ns. fuck. still got so long to go. freaking waste of time.

anyway, had an epic night with sam and his friends. his aunt went on vacation and that idiot dunno until i mentioned the it. so stole the car and drove around for one whole night. went to eat at rochor famous dou hua before going on a search of spooky and haunted places in a car. nv went in. just drove there and look see.

$2 lan. 1 game of dota and 1 game of bvo before samuel sends his friends home. then both of us had breakfast at mac and headed down to pasir ris beach to chit chat. nice long chat there before heading home.

slept and then went it show with my mum and sis before meeting samuel and going to it show with him again.

esplanade for long chit chat part 2 and home sweet home.

should do the driving round whole night more often. nice as hell. bye.

2010-06-10T01:19:00.004+08:00

los angeles lakers and boston celtics. probably one of the most heated rivalry in the history of sports.

here's the record. boston celtics has a nba record 17 championships and while lakers has 15. total up and they would have 32 out of nba's total 63 championships. thats more than half yo!

and until now, lakers have met the celtics in the finals 12 times with boston winning 9, lakers winning 2 and the last one yet to be decided.

these 2 storied franchise had many individuals and ideas clashing with each other. the great wilt chamberlain and shot blocking bill russell. offense vs defense. the dazzling magic johnson and the sharpshooting big man larry bird. black vs white. and in a very minor way, samuel ng against me. well, its all just me being a lakers/kobe fan and samuel being a boston/ray allen fan.

the last time they met in the finals was 2008 with lakers losing by 39 freaking points in the series clinching game 6. i saw it on tv and it sucked to the core watching lakers getting their ass beaten so hard.

this time with home court advantage. it might be a little bit different. pau gasol is more aggressive than he used to be and lakers have andrew bynum, their starting center this time round unlike in 2008 where he was injured. ok, actually, andrew bynum just twisted his knee so we do not know how things will go. lakers also have ron artest, defensive specialist who can slow down paul pierce and lamar odom, lakers versatile big man off the bench albeit a little bit inconsistent. and finally kobe bryant the black mamba. well, i do not need to say much arh. everyone knows what kobe can do.

as for the celtics. they have an aging kevin garnett who's still able to play very well. paul pierce who can make shots when it is needed, pretty much like kobe bryant but not that skilled and not as good looking. a very talented bench with the likes of rasheed wallace, tony allen, nate robinson and so on. but the 2 most dangerous weapons that the celtics have would be ray allen and rajon rondo. probably the best shooter in the league with the nicest shooting form and one of the league's premiere point guard who can record a triple double anytime. with the 2 of them, celtics can play the inside outside game very well. no need to say much, just watch game 2 of this year's finals.

currently, lakers leads the series 2-1 and i predict them winning the finals in 6. should the celtics win, it will be in 7 games.

so go lakers. fucking beat the celtics this time round and cut their championship lead down to 1 yo. championship no. 16!

anyway, life's been so-so lately. jj's serving ns now. major sianness up ahead!

2010-05-28T23:43:00.007+08:00

yo! back.

quite a few activites lately so life has been pretty much more lively.

hmmmm. officially graduated on 21st may if i am not wrong. woke up damn early for the ceremony. listened to some talks and then went on stage to receive my cert.

photo taking session after that before having lunch with anton and sam at t1. slacked around with sam and he came to my house for a brief moment.

i washed up and got ready for chalet in the night while he went to meet his friends.

the main purpose of the chalet was to celebrate joy's bday. went down early with jj to check in. then went to settle the foodstuffs with jj, jun liang and boss.

i would say that the chalet was pretty great. too bad jm was sick if not it would have been epic. credits to joy for taking care of jm while we were happily fooling around.

formed the fire starting team and j chef trio with justin and jj and we pretty much settled the food for the whole night. joy's friend came too. great ppl.

meiyi and huijuan came slightly later while ky came real late. 3 of them left at around 2 plus or 3. had nth to do after they left so boss suggested that we play a batsu game. the challenge will be dai di and the forfeit was to finish one of the food stuff that we had leftover.

in the end. i was the kang tang king and peiren was both the banana cake king and otah king.

the final tally was,

me - 2 potatoes, 1 otah, 0 slice of cake.
jj - 1 potato, 1 otah, 2 slices of cake.
justin - 1 potato, 1 otah, 1 slice of cake.
boss - 1 potato, 3 otah, 5 slices of cake.

the epicness of the batsu game was beyond description. the teamwork of the j team during the final banana cake series was epic. boss put on a great fight and did all he could but in the end, he vomited twice. respect to our boss man.

checked out at around 10.30 in the morning. sent jm home. slpt and close to 2 in the afternoon and ko-ed until 6 in the evening. slacked and slpt until sunday morning before going down to ubi for joel's dad's funeral.

was saddened by the news. was pondering why joel didn't turned up for the graduation ceremony. hope joel can pull through man. after that, the ppl went to sing k at ehub and i went home mainly because i was too shagged and i dont sing k.

one day trip to jb on wednesday as the original 3-6-9 team. team18holdings has expanded our turf into malaysia after boss's conquest to thailand.

mac breakfast, long bus ride, planning for uni, recalling back on sec school life, kim gary, action city, inner city, swensen's and season's, craps, you zhe yang cai gou diao, i am fat but you are ugly and i can diet, ky and lao ah tiong bu jokes, laughed so hard we cried, bio-ing of pretty girls, ice creams, super sour orange juice, british mineral water, paper toss, etc.

2010-05-02T20:44:00.003+08:00

yo whazzup? daddy's home. hahaha.

met up with justin, jj, jm, joy, ky and jw for pool ytd. not a bad outing other than only having justin, jj and i playing. jm did join for afew rounds. got real spastic and tried different ways of playing. hahahaha. shall not go into details. dota until late night after we got home.

been slacking since march and finally got my lazy ass back on track with life. went for a job interview in a fabrication plant and in the end, decided to work for my intern boss once more. its not that i failed to pass the interview or something, its just a matter of the job environment not being suitable for me.

intern boss is on vacation for one week. so have to wait and see how things go when she returns. till then, more slacking. oh, when i said i got my lazy ass back on track, it also meant that i've started training bball again. =)

2 months off bball. quite rusty but i would say the break is nice. the fatigue stacked up quite abit over the few months and now, i'm still refresh even after one hell of practice on my own.

oh yah. bad news eh. jj tio enlistment letter. 7th june. major honggan for me. serious. after 7th june. its only jm and me. well, jm still have joy. he's gf and my brother by extension, as for me, i seriously have no idea. hopefully i'll be working then. so wont be that sianned.

i've always pondered on samuel's comment of me not feeling the need for a gf until my brothers are occupied with something. i would say, right now its pretty true eh. everyone's occupied with ns and other stuff. seldom meet up, then finally, i see the need for a gf. but until then, lets just say dont huan loh so much.

nba playoffs started. somewhere between the end of 1st rounds and start of the conference semi finals. well, from how things are going, i would say lakers might not win it all this year. dont get me wrong, i'm still a lakers fan but lets be realistic, kobe is slowing down and thats all that matters now. i would say orlando magic have a shot a being champions this year. we shall see how things go.

oh yah. lebron won mvp awards 2 years in a row now. like i've said, its lebron's era now even though i really hate to admit it. but not for long. kevin durant will be the best bball player in 3 to 4 years time. so enjoy while you can eh lebron.

ok lah. at least there's an update for may but dont expect alot more to come. lol. laziness and having a not so happening life are the 2 major factors.

ja mata.

2010-04-12T22:12:00.003+08:00

holly smoke. 1 whole month nv blog. hmmmm. this phenomenon development is caused by 4 major factors. hanging out with brothers, dota-ing, com being unusable and well, for the most part, pure unadulterated laziness. big word there yo. hahahaha.

so for my handful of loyal readers like samuel ng zhi leong. paiseh. hahahaha. i didn't expect to have ppl being interested in my life. i thought ppl came here cause they were bored as shit and my blog post will help them kill at most 0.3472% of their daily life. well, no fish, prawn also can right? 0.3472% better than nth. lol.

talking about com being unusable. lets me run through a list a things that went wrong.
1. cpu fan error. like wtf.
2. burnt motherboard. power boh?
3. virus. geh kiang use keygen.
4. faulty hdd.

hoseh hor. dont see only 4 items. can spon my bintan trip liao. serious. just when i thought i have the money ready, this shit happens and fucked it all up (with an indian accent).

so lets go through what recently happened eh?

ubin trip number 6. this time with jj, jm, winnie and vanda. really nice outing with brothers and sisters. slacked at the beach. di xiao-ed winnie. went back white sands for dinner. continued to di di xiao xiao and got hoot! hahaha. winnie lvl-ed up liao hor. now brown belt and its serious honggan. oh yah. hang around ppl, photos coming up after i got my hdd repaired and photos from vanda and jm.

other than that, its mostly pool, lan and slacking around at some random places.

anyway, been slacking full time for slightly over a month. think its time to go out and be a useful member of the society eh. i can slack until i enlist which is like july/ august? it'll be kinda great u know but! its quite fiscally irresponsible for me to be doing that. between now and then, i can make somewhere in between 1k to 3k know? big money big money! sounds familiar? go see wheels of fortune.

haven been bballing lately. its like almost a month since i've balled seriously. something's not right leh. like there's no motivation. maybe i need to see how crappy i actually am before i can re-focus again. besides that, the samuel also nv jio for bball. hahahaha. he went ahead and sprained his ankle. its really gonna hurt when he sprain them man. a man of he's mass and size. woohoohoo. god have mercy on the ankle man. but dont worry bro, seh some wd-40 on the ankle can liao.

moving on, university. i think this year gg liao lah. cannot get into smu. gpa 3.33 nia wanna fuck around with those honor list graduates? hahaha. tak pai like this one. study always in the grey zone. too good to make u avoid private schools but when compared to the elites, a notch behind them. well, got 2 more attempts. so slowly huan loh lah arh.

ok. kena flu arh. so brain cannot tahan liao. gonna stop here.

2010-03-13T17:55:00.002+08:00

ok. its been a couple of weeks since i last updated. lol. somewhat hectic life for the first week and then an epic week of rotting away at home. extreme cases yo.

ok. so after cny, we started preparing for the annual legendary week. started things off with cny visit to jun liang's house. good thing we didn't gamble alot there. like 5 rounds only. heng hor jun liang. if not this year another big hole in pocket.

oh yah, celebrated all the march babies' bday in advance.

march 1st. back in sch to do up the mym booth. was quite fun actually but was a serious pain in the ass. lol.

march 2nd. tp. failed. too nervous. lol. strike kerb twice. how epic. after that, anyhow drive liao.

march 3rd. jm's and ky's bday. erm. did we actually do anything? forgotten about it.

march 5th and 6th. bit dinner and dance. had a good time there and then spent the night at helipad and clarke quay. went home, slept for 2 hours plus and its down to jm's house with brothers to celebrate jj's bday.

water fight at jm's void deck and then boss did a 2 second imitation of superman before he crashed and burnt. then is a few minutes of limping after that. hahahahahaha. super nice scene. guaranteed best of the year actually.

then its wii time at jm's house along with some mousehunting. lol. all kena hook-ed sia, thanks to boss and me. hahahaha. ordered pizza hut for dinner and then some poker time. big winner was boss and big loser was jm. cb. host always lose money in our case.

that day went home at 11pm plus. and then rested for a few days before going out to chiong again on march 9th.

my bday eh. thanks to those who wished me. met up at white sands at 9am. had breakfast there. went down to pasir ris park to rent bike. ride to changi village to have lunch. went beach to slack and talk cock. then went back to pasir ris park to play swing and some ice and water. hahahahaha! back to childhood man.

initially wanted to ride to east coast but we were too lazy and wanted to go home and play dota. lol.

ok lah. after that day. dota-ing, anime and movies are practically what i did. getting a lil bit out of shape but huan loh. next week. running and bball-ing.

ok. update enough liao. ciao.

2010-02-21T18:20:00.002+08:00

ok. back. how's ur new year celebration peeps? mine was ok actually. same routine every year.

anyway, i just found the best book in the world. the legendary "the bro code" from how i met your mother. hahahaha. here's the link. epic!

met up with the usual bros and close friends for a gathering. ky booked out. well, the outing was fun. played the monopoly card game. verdict? lets buy one and put it in my bag. lol.

ok lah. short and sweet post.

ciao.

2010-02-12T01:26:00.005+08:00

wah sex-ed. close to one month nv blog. epic fail. well, wasn't free to blog i guess. projects all piled up like mountain. bissa, bsit, om and major project. wah. think 3 schooling days and only 4 modules easy shit and super slack? tio! om itself enough to supply projects for whole sem. lol!

final presentation was super heng. the judges all just finished lunch, in good mood, the whole team nv kena anything. so still intact, nv cui. hahahahaha.

for the 3 weeks, one of most entertaining period was filming of bissa video. hahahaha. after that, all of us tried imitating samuel's gayish ladies' man smack. epic.

will try uploading the bissa video when i'm free. 9 minutes leh. mai xiao xiao.

anyway, our usm go ns liao. hahahaha. 2 weeks liao leh. coming out later on.

had a sending off outing for him. had steamboat at tian tian with brothers and close friends. did lots of catching up and facebooking to look a pretty girls. boss's family really like to call themselves noob. boss is noobzpei and he's cute cousin is called noobieshitto. epic.

had fun there, used mantou to sub as sponge to suck up all the oil. nice idea from this tensai man. hahaha.

oh yah. long time nv bball, finally had the chance to play ytd. starting part, due to ball rust and weather, uber cui. but then slowly regain abit of momentum liao. looking for opportunity to do somemore shooting practice.

oh oh oh oh. ytd was our last day in sch. damn fast. 3 years passed so fast. really. been saying that all the time. met great ppl like samuel, nigel, anton and debbie during this journey, hope can still keep in contact after this.

and now, its the next step again. fuck. really hate planning for the next step. which school to go? will they choose me? application forms. and more paperwork to fill after you get selected.

anyway, applied for smu and ntu already. haven't apply nus. damn lazy. but hope i get into smu cause nearer and also my dream sch.

ok lah. enough crapping. up next, one photo taken by deb sis during om guest lecture.

close up view of my atticus cap. swee hor? atticus, one of my fav leh.

ok lah. ciao. happy lunar new year and valentine's in advance. don't know if will be blooging anytime soon or not.

2010-01-20T23:22:00.004+08:00

ok no updates. just some videos for ur viewing pleasure. =)

excited already u know?

"i've successfully privatised world peace". lol. cool shit.

feast your eyes on this ppl. this is what i call defense.

lol. us playing wii at jm's house. hahahahaha. they are so gonna kill me.

interview with mark hoppus. nice!

second trailer to the blinkumentary. epic!

cool news. hope this happens eh, but can kobe and vince still fly after all these years?

ok. thats all folks.

2010-01-15T00:17:00.006+08:00

ok. evaluation time. but before we start, some updates. =)

went to jm's house for wii session with ky, boss and waikit. much fun. were screaming and laughing like mad for some of the games. american choppy. epic fun.

other than that, its sch, driving lessons and bball. routine life which i hate. needa buck up a lil bit now, reaching the end of poly life, the final of the final charge! lol.

so yah, lets review my 2009 resolutions. abit late arh? but fuck, better than not doing right?

1. try my best to keep my gpa above 3.25. try is the keyword.
2. keep on honing my bballing skills.
3. be more motivated for everything.
4. be a better son and brother.
5. try and get my driving license.
6. improve on my physical condition.
7. get myself a pretty, loving and caring gf. lol! like it'll happy like that. thats day dreaming.

for point 1. mission accomplished! power hor. i said 3.25 means 3.25 hor. zhun zhun one. hope i can keep it this way or maybe better. but like i've said alot of time, i should be happy with what i'm getting for the effort that i have been putting in. not alot but not very little also. just nice to make me feel that i am doing something and scare the shit out of some ppl. lol.

as for point 2. i dare to say that i'm a better player than i was a year ago, at the very least, my shooting improved quite alot. last year, i have a shot to be trained by kobe bryant but didn't make it. obviously i wasn't good enough to compete against the likes of tp sch team players but that experience did gave me an eye opener of their standards. however, i did went as an audience to kobe's training clinic. nice trip. it will always an experience i'll nv forget because i saw kobe bryant in person from afar! hahahahaha. good enough liao hor.

point 3 arh. hard to gauge leh. i was definitely motivated for bball and fun, slightly motivated to run, was motivated during the first few weeks of sch before returning to usual mode and remained the same for other things. so yah. hard to gauge but maybe at least a passing grade?

point 4. better son and brother. confirm plus guarantee fulfill objective. looked after the household like i always did when my father's working and tried my fucking best to maintain a good relationship with my younger bro. not bad hor, got buy him chicken essence when he's having exams hor. know how ex not? lol.

point 5. still in progress. dragged a little bit too long. hahahaha. was planning to take after my internship but, stayed there for another 2 months i think, if not by now, should have taken the practical test.

as for my physical condition arh. napfa dropped from gold to silver leh. but my knee did hurt less often and my legs do have more strength. am running faster now with better explosiveness. so fail in terms of overall fitness but succeed in terms of speed and knee conditons.

last point? forget it lah. epic failure. nv even try. or did i but fail? can't really recall arh. so hiu lan lah!

this year? simple wishes, more fun and laughter, more life experiences to learn from, brothers as close as how we used to be, same goes to close friends, good health to those that i care about and maybe getting into sispec or ocs while i'm serving ns.

some random pics.

anton and my grading system for poly. i left out the "u" grade while taking this photo. anyway, our "u" is useless. lol.

random stick man drawing while doing mp. lol.

ok. bye!

2010-01-02T22:37:00.003+08:00

happy 2010 peeps. sincerely hope that everyone will have a smooth year ahead.

new year eve was spent at home. going out on that day to havoc is crazy. so many ppl everywhere, not convenient at all. the only good point of going out during new year eve is that there are many pretty girls swarming around but huan loh! lol.

had driving lesson on 1st january. good time to learn driving. the roads in ubin are pretty much empty. everyone's still in coma after their partying the night before. lol.

went home, slp and then its down to pasir ris park to meet our boss who's been away in thailand for 3 months plus. hahahahaha. with the void filled back, our outings will be even more fun from now on.

anyway, found one shelter by the beach and slacked. played jm's style of murderer, bridge, dai di and cheat.

jm's style of murderer has a doctor who can heal anyone he wants provided that he guessed correctly who the murderer just killed. the outcomes for murderer were pretty much the same with peiren being murdered every round and no one wanting to save him. lol! too bad arh, everyone just likes bullying our boss.

anyway, we tried to pull a prank on boss again. we bought drinks to our slacking outing, but there was one bottle of water that didn't belong to us at the shelter. we tricked boss into believing that that bottle of water was prepared by jm's mum for us and boss went ahead to drink it.

boss: eh, no water arh?
ky: yah. not enough water here, drink jm's plain water lah. don't be picky
*boss took the unknown water bottle, opened the cap and attempted to drink.*
jj: eh eh eh, lac, don't se chiong. we don't know where the hell this water bottle comes from sia.

lol. epic sia. total sianned face as commented by jj. slacked until 12 plus before starting to go home. ky wanted to walk home because of the higher damage done to him by adult bus fare. so we as brothers proposed to walk home with him provided he sent us home with he's car after that. lol. deal!

ky tried to look like some taliban members while walking from pasir ris beach to downtown east. epic funny. some of the faces we saw were super classic.

"woah. he like that where i very scared." as commented by some china lady.

ok lah. photos.

group photo!

us showcasing the prsents that boss brought back from thailand for us.

the mess we made.

ta-lee-ban.

ta-lee-ban with he's "just do it" bomb. lol. the pink bag belongs to our beloved boss.

boss and usm.

sir and world class entertainer.

this is boss's primary sch. lol!

anyway, no resolutions for this year. shall review my 2009 resolutions in the next post i hope.

but i do have a few simple wishes.

1. good health for my family, brothers and close friends.

2. smooth year ahead for all of us like i mentioned earlier.

3. i simply hope that we brothers can have another epic year together with no conflicts whatsoever.

4. it will be the best if i can find a gf.

ok lah. shall go back to slacking.

2009-12-28T00:24:00.010+08:00

hohoho, a very late merry xmas to everyone. was somewhat busy for the past week.

monday was spent buying stuff for the bbq. nice day out as usual. walked around ikea and giant. did some accounting and jiao wei-ing under ky's block before going home.

tuesday was considered by us to be a warm up day for the following day. met up at 8 and went down to jurong east swimming complex to havoc for half the day before returning to tampines so that ky could buy he's ps3 and jm could buy a xmas gift for his sister.

wednesday was the big day. ubin in the morning, rushed home to wash up and then bbq in the evening.

met up 8 am again. had breakfast and its down to ubin. went to a couple of quarry before having fun at the mountain bike trail.

decided to gave the 5th ubin trip a grand finale. we raced back to the jetty. first was the qualifier round like f1. took our timing in a mountain bike trail circuit for the positions. jm came in first, i was second, ky third and jl was forth.

after that, we took our positions and its all the way to the jetty. ky played cheat and took a short cut out of the circuit but was overtook by sir and me again. cheeky asshole.

after that. rushed home and bbq. fun ppl. fun time. hectic day. was super shagged for the next 2 days and stayed home. so xmas eve and xmas was spent at home. but huan loh. i don't see the reason to have fun only on special occassions. anytime also can havoc. =)

ok lah. shall let photos do the talking from now on.

wild wild west trip.

the first quarry we went to.

lol. ky took this photo for us because we decided that the one without facebook account should take the photo.

take 2.

ky doing stunts as usual.

then i climbed in to di di xiao xiao also.

and lastly, a video to remind the world that, we have not yet retired from the world of pranking and pulling tricks. afterall, we are the best at what we do and what we do ain't very nice.

enjoy.

there's sch later on. time to slp.

2009-12-20T20:32:00.004+08:00

ok. gotta rest well. hectic week ahead. buying of bbq stuff tml. wild wild west on tuesday and then ubin plus bbq on wednesday. xmas eve/xmas plans weren't out yet. swee lah.

went bballing by myself on friday. trained on shooting. improved from "really like shit" to "like shit". lol. sank about 200 shots? but attempted more than 500 i think. weak hor?

met ky ytd to slack because staying at home was a pain in the ass. seriously nth to do. met up with jw after that and drove out to have some fun before going home at around 3am. nice life man.

anyway, was looking through my phone and saw these images taken during revision week. hahahaha.

revision lecture for om. was supposed to copy the whole freaking mind map onto the blank pages.

but look at what we did? lol. seriously, don't ask me how i lost so many games. i also dunno, guess i wasn't really paying attention.

but redemption was sweet eh? thrashed that noob level anton in dai di. lol.

ok. short post. ciao.

2009-12-15T22:18:00.002+08:00

pissed. the weather is fucked up.

was supposed to train on bball with samuel but he can't make it. ok. i'm fine with it. perfectly fine. needa do some solo training also. recently, the rim is like the size of a tea cup. no good. no good at all.

so, went down to sch, started training and when i was just about to focus and get down to some serious shooting. swee. it rained. cats and dogs. waited for it to stop but it only seems to get bigger.

bo bian had to go and wash up and go home. but fuck, after i bathed, the rain stopped. how nice eh? hahahahaha. cb, was so fucking sianned on the way home. good thing it rained again if not. hahahahaha.

ok, gonna train again tml. hope there's no more raining.

ciao.

2009-12-12T01:00:00.002+08:00

mid sem test's finally over. bissa and om was ok. bsit's cheatsheet was for the most part useless like what i've expected. hahahaha. sure pass for all i guess but it will really be great if i can manage a's for all the modules. but heck, with the level of focus i've put it, i doubt so.

major slacking with ky and jm on wednesday. lunch at simei, walked back to tampines from simei, hang around tampines. did nth much actually but was hell lot of fun.

basketball on thursday after bsit. was fun. shooting's not really good. haven't been training consistently. gonna do weights again for long term purposes. lets find a nice day to start. maybe tml.

so what now? its time to havoc but unfortunately, we are missing 3 major pieces. ky, jj and boss. ky's in china, jj's going on vacation soon too and boss is in thailand and visiting their beach on monday. damn.

current plans are wild wild west and prawning on 22nd, ubin and bbq on 23rd and then overnight slacking at east coast either on xmas eve or xmas.

ok fuck. shall stop here, out of topics to write on.

2009-11-30T23:12:00.003+08:00

a's ending. projects deadline approaching. my items from loserkids.com have arrived. mid sem's next week. there's 2 weeks break after that. time to havoc!

well, i hope so but things are not really looking good. ky's overseas for the first week of my holidays but there's still jm, jj, samuel and the others. shall get the fun rolling while waiting for ky to return i guess.

handed in om pmp report today. freaking woke up at 7 plus to go sch and print the report out. actually handed the report in on thursday but missed out a part because i was rushing to meet our own deadline of handing in by the end of thursday. well, i'm the only one that f-ed up parts of the report. anton's report has no error i think.

hasn't really been training on bball due to laziness, bad weather and projects. hahahahaha. ok. bad weather is accepted arh. not sch team no privilege. lol. as for projects, plain excuse nia lah. was finding reasons not to train. i'll get back to serious training real soon. =x

was able to come to terms with myself a little bit more recently. nice step but still has a long way to go. still love to talk cock but deep down inside, there's still a battle going on with myself.

anyway, i think i've said this before but damn! time really flies eh. almost end of 2009 already. xmas and new year eve are round the corner but am not really looking forward to them. don't usually have plans for this time of the year. i think i spent these days mostly with ky for the past few years.

current addiction. new found glory - ex miss

everything that could have went wrong, went wrong this year.
nothing recently has made me want to stand up and cheer.
everything you haven't said has finally come back to you.

now, its not the time, now its not the time
i know you never liked any gifts i gave to you

this holiday is overrated.
it turned out the way i expected.
this holiday is one to forget.
another year, this time i'll regret
that i spent too much time and money on you.

why do i only remember the bad times we had?
i guess everything we do does reflect.
everything you wish you said, has finally come back to you.

now its not the time, no, no its not the time
i know you never liked any gifts i gave to you.

this holiday is overrated.
it turned out the way i expected.
this holiday is one to forget
another year, this time i'll regret
that i spent too much time and money on you.

this holiday is overrated.
it turned out the way i expected.
this holiday is one to forget
another year, not another year.

this holiday is overrated.
it turned out the way i expected.
this holiday is one to forget
another year, no, not another year.

ok. back for more.

been raining alot lately. nice weather to slp but pain in the ass when u wanna go out. hope it doesn't rain tml. playing bball with chengyu seh. time to gauge the difference between our abilities again and also to learn from him and have fun.

had napfa last week. lol. major failure? got silver only leh. lack 1 chin up and 1 sit up for a gold. close miss. but f. didn't train chin up and sit up for 2 years and this is it. honggan. lol. referring to september 2007 post, ky, jm and i went for some army open house. we took napfa there. i had 11 chin ups and 43 sit ups. this year, i only had 6 and 36. throw face lah. gonna train more and retake. seriously not happy with silver. got gold all the way one leh.

but not bad leh. shuttle run 9 seconds flat. got tio stunned boh? hahahaha. aiming to break into 8 seconds plus the next time round.

anyway, bball ytd was pretty fun but too bad it rained when we were enjoying halfway. sianned.

sch was ok but getting kinda hectic due to project deadlines? they are still one to two weeks away lah but ky's a's unofficial end is this friday so better finish everything up and go have fun. cannot wait until 4th dec. i'll die. hahahahaha.

driving isn't so bad also. today brushed up on right turn then did starting off on slope, u turn and 3 point turn. fun sia. driving around but abit nervous.

oh yah. went to cineleisure with ky, jm and joy on monday to catch a christmas carol. it was the preview if i'm not wrong. movie was kinda like playing cs but outing was nice. got abit giddy after the movie cause i cannot take cgi graphics? hahahahaha. its been long since we had this kind of outing. really feels like the year 1 period.

concert on friday to support jasmine. was supposed to rent car but in the end, kena fucked and no car caused the guy before us extended his rental.

ok lah. stop here.

2009-11-05T23:58:00.003+08:00

bloody hell. down with sore throat. pain in the ass sore throat. fuck. no mood to eat. eating is like one of the greatest joy in the world. i bet i'll eat like a glutton after i've recovered. sumpah, its been like this all the time.

nth much. back to post one video.

for the love of the game. =)

sayonara.

2009-11-04T22:14:00.005+08:00

ok buckle up. its november already. hah. was planning to blog like one week ago but kept on dragging. too bad, was too lazy to do a shit to this blog.

school started, been somewhat busy, quite a few project deadlines to hit at the end of this month. 2 words, "holy shit". lol.

am planning to get all of them done and over with by 20th nov. ky told us that that day will be he's unofficial closage to he's pretty much f-up jc life. and from then onwards, i expect more excitement in my life, pretty much something like how it was way back in year 1. lol.

oh wait. its november already!?! wah fuck. time really flies. seriously. its feels like january was just a few weeks back. lol.

hmmmm, lets see, ok, finally started taking my driving lessons with jj's dad. 1st lesson was real fun. his dad's a good instructor. nth much except doing left turns repeatedly before finally doing right turn once before ending the lesson. next lesson's next wednesday. pretty big gap between the lessons, hope i don't lose the touch.

been training intensively on bball lately as samuel's like finally on track. no need to supervise him so much and can move on to do my own training. hahahahaha. ever seen someone geting all exhausted just by picking up the ball? samuel was! prolly due to me rattling shots and having the ball flying in all directions. lol. noob shooter i admit ok?

been running with ky and jm on a weekly basis also. mostly fartleks. didn't really start training because of napfa which is next week. we just wanna run and keep fit. its their passion to run and i just go and run with them because i love hanging out with them. somemore its the only chance we get to see each other nowadays due to our hectic lifes?

so napfa's next week. am pretty cool with it except for chin ups. more than 10 chin ups for 5 points. my record one year ago was 16 and now? barely 6 i think. didn't focus on chin ups for the past year because of basketball. and come on, who will train on chin up for no good reason? lol. it was different during ncc days. its in our pt routine, cannot escape one. lol.

hmmmm. honestly speaking. this blog's really quite dead. its a real wonder that some ppl still visit this blog. i don't even come here on a daily basis anymore. its like more of a weekly thing unless i wanna visit mark hoppus's blog which i forgotten the link and was too lazy to favourite. lol.

so major project technical proposal presentation was last week? took a group photo because the lecturers said that they need a group photo for every group or something like that. ended up spamming quite a few.

partial group photo. we left out anton. lol.

group photo before presentation.

group photo after presentation.

2009-10-16T23:40:00.004+08:00

fooyoo! i'm back. first thing first. my timetable for the new semester is somewhat cool. the real cool part is that there's no sch on friday. the part that made it somewhat cool is that there's a real big gap on monday from 10am to 4 pm? hahahahahaha.

these few days has been quite fun. spent most of the time slacking around with samuel and jj. of course, there's still fartleks session with jm and ky.

didn't go bballing due to me doing some stuff with samuel lim and the weather.

monday night was pretty epic. went to swensen's at ion with sam and jj to eat the ice cream buffet. was pretty nice trip until we decided to play our own little batsu game silent library style.

hahahahaha. try ice cream with chilli, ketchup, pepper and salt altogether. hahahahaha. even the best ice cream will become an epic fuck. lol.

went to samuel's house on wed to ton. the night was spent watching downtown's batsu game and them playing overlord 1.

went over to sam's house again to do some stuff then went down to cdc to get my pdl done like finally. first lesson on 30 oct. still pretty far away. hope that i don't forget it. the probability's like 50%? lol. its like forget and don't forget only. =x

ok. some photos.

behold! our legendary guest relation officer. always get the job done, uber spastic and full of crap.

hahahahahaha. samuel the pervert.

jeremy, the even greater pervert.

and here? the world's greatest drummer in action. travis barker, baby!

lol. ok. thats all folks. stay tune if u want to. my blog has sort of become like one piece, naruto and bleach? updated weekly. lol.

2009-10-05T22:22:00.002+08:00

its been long eh. lol. doubt anyone really follow this blog other than that bunch of brothers and the imposter "nsiow". lol.

so anyway, life been kind of somewhere between routinely boring and fun? hahahahaha. its been real long, so where exactly should i start?

hmmmm, just had a mini party for boss cause he's leaving for thailand? actually he left for thailand this morning already. that outing was epic. didn't really do much. pool, foosball, jiao weis and dinner. a record breaking 16 games of foosball. lol. final score? ncc land which comprises of ky, jm and me won 9 games. team negro police cadet corp (npcc) which comprises of jj, wai kit and peiren won 7 games. hahahahaha.

its been long since we had a group outing. 7 ppl in total. justin had to leave early. well, the last time we had a real group outing, there were 13 brothers. haix. times changed. but still, that outing really felt like the sec sch days. havoc like no one business.

lets see. oh yah. ended my work with topaz already. great time working there for 5 to 6 months? learnt quite alot.

so right now, i'm back to full time slacking. first mission after i ended my work? a trip to the wild wild west. hahahahaha. yes! a team of 4 slackers. jj, jm, samuel and me infiltrated jurong east's swimming complex.

wah. super fun. 5 hours of non stop swimming, playing slide, climbing out of the water and doing stunts and flipping each other over. all of us were super shagged after that. but but but but but, shagged or not shagged nvm, most important is we had fun. lol.

next up. fast forward to today. went to send boss off to thailand. osip seh. will be there for 5 months. will really miss him. jm said it best, "no one to bully anymore". lol. hope everything goes well for him. maybe got chance can skype with him. lets pray that he won't come back as pei wen.

went to train with ky and jm just now. fart leks. killer arh. but gonna start all over again and chiong every monday. lets hope we'll stick to it.

ok lah. go slack. ciao.

2009-09-16T22:48:00.003+08:00

alright. i've been pretty lazy for the past couple of months eh? didn't really blog much. hahahaha.

so where should i start? been seriously lazy recently. i've missed 3 training sessions. hahahaha. awesome right? missed last tuesday's training due to slacking big time with samuel. miss saturday's one due to project and missed ytd one because it was my mum's bday.

should be very rusty right now. this saturday, i think i won't hold back and go all out, provided! i don't end up being a lazy asshole again.

anyway, ytd was my mum's bday. nth much, brought her to swensen's for dinner with my siblings then accompanied her to do some shopping.

been hanging out with the 2 4e legends recently. hahahahaha. samuel and jun jie. going out with them was pretty epic all the time. we just had our asses pawned on monday by a mac staff. samuel was buying some ice cream and ended up asking the mac staff why he didn't get the sharp cone like he expected.

the reaction from the mac staff was a "haaaa!?!" coupled with a face fucked up beyond belief. hahahahaha. jj and i just turned around and pang seh-ed samuel instantly. cannot take that face if not jj might throw he's 70 cents ice cream cone straight at her. hahahahahaha.

anyway, tonned at samuel's place last tuesday i think. pia-ed ps3 games all the way until 5pm the next day. hahahahaha. a combo-ed 36 hours without slp. aftermath was super dry eyes that can't stop tearing. hahahahaha.

went comex on sunday to look around. went to visit vanda and disturbed her followed by elvis. long time no see. that asshole still the same. hahahahaha. openly stating that he's stronger than me in bball. we'll see, we'll see.

smacked some stickers on some indians while squeezing in the crowd. damn thrilling! feels like our sec sch times. doing stupid things.

outing with samuel was pretty standard. hang around, eat, movie and then lastly followed by a big hole in the wallet. hahahahaha.

watched year one, twice! hahahahaha. fucking epic. i've nv watched a movie twice in a row. this shows how epic year one was. non stop laughter man. michael cera's a genius.

gamer on the other hand was a waste of my money. boring as shit. if u wanna see the nice scenes, just go and watch the trailer. hahahahahaha! get what i mean?

movie poster for year one.

movie poster for gamer.

hmmmmm. haven't been hanging out with jm and ky much. too bad eh. ky's busy studying. and whenever jm jio-ed me for some outing, i'm always working. too bad i'm not as free as last time to respond to all last minute outings. but nvm, my work ends at the end of september. will be a free man pretty soon. =)))

oh yah. lastly, results was out. didn't get pass with commendation leh. roughly know the reason why. prolly because i anyhow whacked the report due to the urge to go out and have fun. credits to samuel for those urges and pressure. tak pai kpkbkm when i say i wanna chiong report.

ok lah. think i've updated enough.

see you when i see you peeps.

2009-09-01T21:21:00.004+08:00

hey yo peeps. its been long eh? don't really have much to blog about recently.

work on weekdays. and if everything goes well, i'll meet up with ky and jm on fridays to hang out after work. tuesdays are my off days so most likely will be slacking at home or training on bball. saturdays are for bballing also and that leave my sundays for full time slacking.

went down to esplanade for bay beats last friday with ky and jm. went there to look for macbeth shoes but they didn't have the one i wanted. so went to marina square to look for jm's skipping rope and swimming trunks.

went to the playground at ky's area to hang around for awhile longer after we reached tampines. tested out jm's skipping rope and saw a cat pursuing a rat. singapore cats are really hopeless man. 3 v 1 still can fail. so the 3 of us decided to help the cats out due to our common hatred for rats. in the end, the rat managed to slip away due to the cats fighting among themselves over territory. bloody losers.

bball-ed on sat with samuel, chen wee and justin. wahahahahaha. finally can touch rim again.

fast forward to monday. went down to dunman to visit mr lee and mrs vijay with samuel. hahahaha. mr lee still remember us as the troublemakers during dnt class. hahahaha. visited the dnt workshop and talked about the good old times. well, the workshops were one of my favourite places in dunman besides my own class, the ncc corner and the tech room.

went to tm to watch "up" after that. hmmmmm. predictable storyline.

movie poster for up.

ok. ciao!

2009-08-15T22:58:00.004+08:00

hey peeps. its been long huh? there ain't much for me to blog about.

there was this bbq outing that failed right after my sip. can't really blame anyone. jm wasn't as free as last time. major project leh. what to do.

so we ended up eating dinner and going down to samuel's house to stayover. well, there were only jj and me. supper was samuel's secret recipe! campbell soup plus rice. hahahahaha. everything was super right except for the portion. 1 cup of rice for 3 hungry buggers don't quite cut it. lol.

ps3-ed the whole freaking night. samuel mocked me for slp-ing 45 minutes after i said, "we have a whole night to rock." he didn't really did much better. that asshole ko-ed for a few hours. who's the man? hahahaha.

breakfast and then watched "the hangover" after that. it was nice but wasn't as epic as i thought it would be.

home after that but hell i couldn't rest, washed up, changed into fresh clothes and its down to my grandma's house. saw someone who used to be a close friend that i cherished, well, shall not go into it right now.

after that? i think its national day. heck! hahahaha. fast forward to tuesday. bball training with samuel. was supposed to run 2.4 but i was fucking lazy. slacked after 1.6. serious lack of discipline. i'm so sorry. hahahahaha.

training was great. pushed myself to the limit. could bearly walk to subway after that. hahahahaha. am thinking of selling off my new bball shoes. something just don't feel right with it.

ok. fast forward again to ytd. met up with ky, jm, jj and boss for gi joe. the show was nice but the outing was epic. hahahaha. went to arcade with them. daytona result? 6-0 against ky. this result is seriously wrong. its supposed to be 3-3. hahahahaha.

after the show, everyone went home except for ky and me. hanged around at mac and talked until 1 plus 2?

been talking alot about the past with ky and samuel recently. dnt and 4e life with samuel and other great parts of sec 4 life with ky. its kinda feels that we're slowing down. especially this year. everyone's busy doing their own stuff. i know, its time to grow up and move on to the next step, but to me, my next step won't start until ns next year. right now? i'm not quite ready to move on. 4th dec, after that day, we are gonna rock.

anyway, talking back about sec 4 life. there's this one group of people that i personally haven't spoke to for 2 years, i think. there's a couple of them that i still warmly greet when i see them and there's another couple of them that i seriously heck when i see them. its like how things turned out with him.

it used to be great. if i could do it once again, i'll amend those things that i did wrongly as a friend with regards to them, but then again, maybe i'm not the one that did things wrongly. one of them chose to listen to one side of the story when things cropped up and didn't bother to listen to our side. furthermore, that person belittled what i've held close to me all the time and thats our brotherhood. to me, thats something i can't stand.

u were with us so long and you should know us. who we really are and how we do things. what i've done wasn't that glorious also, but at least i've check both sides before i mounted an assault. how things turned out this way, i'm not very sure myself too. all i know is that i've helped in the destruction of a seriously good friendship between 2 people and for that, i'm sorry.

team18 is all thats left after all these years huh? well, i'm not gonna let anything happen among us anymore. at least i'll try my very best. thats a vow ky and i took and i know that we'll both stick to it until the very end.

movie poster for the hangover.

move poster for gi joe.

ok. time for psp.

2009-08-03T22:03:00.002+08:00

ok. this is shit. everyone ended their sip except me! hahahahaha. can't blame, i started one week later than them. but the thought of them slacking away really kills me. but whatever, after this week, no more sip! however, i'm staying with topaz for another month or so.

today was pretty fun. had fun entertaining myself when there's no one else in the office. was testing out this text to speech software. so went back to the old ways. just like sec 4 during chinese lesson with jj's electronic dictionary. hahahahaha. ever heard a robotic voice singing team18's brotherhood song? hahahahaha.

anyway, highlights for the past week will be bball training with samuel. the warming up was quite slack. wasn't in the mood also. so just rushed through it and went down to serious training. oh. what did we do for warming up? 2 rounds around the track and 5 x 100m sprints.

training was fun. then play some matches against some random guys. samuel's training had instant effect. not bad.

injured my right thumb and now its swollen. its quite irritating, seriously. but still, its enough to settle jm's guai lan friends in bball. 3 v 1? no problemo! hahahaha.

anyway.

what's this? it belongs to my boss but i'm pretty sure ky and jm will each have one of this someday. work hard arh brothers. motivated boh? hahahahaha.

hmmmm. think i'm gonna find something to do now. tml can wake up slightly later. going to tp with my boss to do demo. wahahahahaha. demo fun hor! at least its better than doing paperwork.

ciao.

2009-07-26T17:44:00.006+08:00

starting from today, there'll be lesser meetings with ky. time to get some serious work done on his side. as for me? work and major project. my own version of the "final charge".

met up with ky ytd. went to quite a few places for different purposes. holland v and then holland grove drive. nah beh. told ky holland v isn't holland grove, and he said its around there. yah right, around there. good thing we nv attempted to walk over.

after that, went to far east plaza to get myself another t-shirt. had dinner there before heading over to wisma. went to topman and then the nike flag ship store. wanted to buy the kobe t-shirt but decided not to. my mum will slaughter me. hahahahaha.

headed over to ion after that. not bad but too high class for us. next stop, orchard central. cool shit place. walked around there, took the external escalator to the 8th storey or so and ky had cold feet. hahahahaha. no wonder he wants to be diver instead of commando.

t1 and tampines mall after that before meeting jm for supper.

home sweet home after that. counting down to 4th december so that we can go back to our old ways. hang in there ppl, eyes on the prize. as for me? after one week of resting and refueling, time to do some serious kick ass training.

not starting today but tml. so thats it ppl. take care, have fun and god bless you all. lol!

rock on blink 182

2009-07-23T22:23:00.005+08:00

22nd july. there was a total eclipse. an once in a life time event. however, it didn't make my day. what made my day was another once in a life time event. it was kobe's asia tour.

he came out for a short 45 minutes, did nth other than giving some pointers but it was inspiring. i always wanted to know how it will feel like to see your idol in real life. so this is how it felt. excited and nevous at the same time huh? well, although i only manage to see him from a great distance away. hahahahahaha

i think i'll faint if i was one of the lucky 8 youths who got through the trials for the kobe clinic. after the event, i was really motivated. kinda lost that motivation somewhere while doing my own training. guess seeing kobe from afar really helped.

how did i got the tickets? i went for the trials. it was really an eye opener and the whole process was funny as shit when i think back. the top players in singapore are really great. no doubt. it'll take a hell lot of work to even match up to them.

samuel accompanied me to the trials. once we were outside sba, we kinda got intimidated by the atmosphere there. the players there all belonged to some team and we 2 are some no name trying to mix in with them. took the registration form, sat down and spent all the time staring at the form thinking, "fuck, this is really fucked up. why am i here? they have teams, experience and the confidence. who am i to go against them?" the same shit was running in samuel's mind also.

told him that i need a breather and we went to the coffee shop around the area and shagged for close to an hour. "wah how? we go in like don't know our place arh? actually think we can fight with them? but if we go home now, ppl will say we hum, go liao don't dare go in." those were the thoughts in our head for the period of time. its a back and forth thing.

kinda felt that i had my back against the wall and broke that chain of thought.

"eh samuel. cannot be lah. i don't think we are that noob. its true that we don't belong to school team but think about it. we've played against chengyu before. lucky or skills, i don't know, but we've actually won against him. that proves something. i'm going in. i come here for a chance to be trained by kobe. good or not good enough. we'll know"

result? ain't good enough. if not, i'll be on newspaper as one of the 8 chosen youths. hahahahaha.

anyway, went to the event with samuel, nigel and anton. was initially planning to invite my brothers from team18 holdings but fuck, only had 1 ticket. can't possibly tear it up so that each of us can have "one". lol. and to avoid the situation of "inviting this one and the rest how?", i jit tao don't invite anyone of them and save myself from all the trouble. samuel already chose nigel so might as well complete the poly clique with anton.

enough crap. some photos.

kobe asia tour.

before kobe came out. tried to snap a photo of him from far but everything buang. hahahahaha.

4 of us. sry arh. abit bright. exposure +2. forgot adjust back. hahahahahaha!

the black mamba. the man i admire the most.

time to buck up. have some serious training to do. hope that the next time he's here, i'll be good enough to be trained by him.

2009-07-17T23:43:00.002+08:00

well, i have my back against the wall now. kobe bryant's coming to singapore and i failed to get the tickets. thanks to me being at work and there's no one available to help and collect the tickets due to studies.

well actually, there was one. but hahahahaha, how the fuck would i know he has his mambo every wed?

so nvm, there's only one solution left. go for the trials and hope i get the once in a lifetime chance to be trained by kobe bryant. this truly is a dream come true. my admiration for this man is out of this world. to meet him and be trained by him has always been my goal ever since primary 4. this, is the only chance in my life that our paths will ever cross each other's. the only chance.

its truly something to go all out for. but here's the dilemma. i think this will be the time when my 100% don't actually matter. see, he's kobe bryant. there will be tonnes of ppl wishing to be trained by him. not only me.

and where do i stand amongst them? certainly not at the top. there will be national players and star players from every team there, waiting to be trained by him too. me? just a no name. see the gap? the chance of being selected is unsurprisingly close to zero.

i've spoken to my mother, she asked me to go and try it out so that i will nv have any regrets. true. the prob is, if i nv turn up, all i can say is i missed the event and yes, i'll live with regrets. but by not turning up for the event, there's not really much of a desire to get chosen u see.

but if i ever turn up for the trials. its a totally different thing. if i turn up, the only objective in my brain is to get selected. get what i mean? there's a desire. a fucking strong one.

truth is, i know i won't be picked. and if that really happens. it will be freaking demoralising. denied the chance to be trained by kobe bryant because i wasn't good enough. i think i will be destroyed and it'll take hell lot of time to recover from that fall.

its not that i can't take failures. i've been a failure my whole life. its just that i don't think i can take the "not good enough to be trained by kobe" label on top of me being a failure. get what i mean?

its a tough decision. training on wed by myself was messed up. the thought of making it to the event kept running through my mind and i can't focus. after knowing that the tickets were fully redeemed, my focus has been at its peak for 2 days straight, getting ready for the trials.

this is something i must fight for. actually, i'm used to fighting for almost everything i've achieved. they don't come easy for untalented ppl like me. i know that there will be no regrets if i turn up for the event but the chances of failing are close to absolute.

i don't know what to do, seriously. all i know is that i already swore in front of ky to cut off my fringe and have short hair if i ever get selected.

short hair, no fringe. i can live with that as long as i get be to be trained by kobe. i swear.

2009-07-14T21:29:00.008+08:00

behold! the sexiest pair of shoes in the world!

adidas pilrahna 3...

...plus adidas gil zero low...

equals gilrahna! just came in today leh. wahahahahahahaha!

chio right? edited the photo abit on the hue and saturation.

shall further my mastery of the game with this pair of shoes. its not like i'm gonna throw away my old one. i'm planning to use them both.

top view.

cost a freaking $180. but its all worth it.

back view.

side view.

can't wait for saturday to try this pair out.

oh yeah. my adidas team signature creator lo. nice shoes. too bad i burnt out the soles already. thats y i need to get a new pair.

the past and the present.

sad to say, i like this pair more. not because its new, but its damn cool. has been looking for pilrahna 3 ever since chengyu introduced it to me.

gil zero 3 was a substitute for pilrahna 3. but when i decided to buy a pair of bball shoes, gil zero was out of stock in singapore also. so settled to the creator lo. and now, a fusion of pilrahna and gil zero. way fucking cool man!

but anyway, i've improved and matured alot with this pair. so yeah. i'll worship it i guess. hahahahaha.

creator lo for shootaround on wednesdays and gilrahna for serious trainings on weekends. zai!

hahahahaha. last photo. up front, the pair of shoes that i improved a hell lot in. right in the middle, the pair of shoes that's gonna carry me further on in my mastery of the game. and at the back, my mum. the person who had spent 19 long freaking years nurturing a punk ass like me. well, its has been a long and fuck-ed up 19 years for her trying to bring me up. guess its now my turn to return the favour.

thinking of turning in early today. ciao!

2009-07-12T00:47:00.003+08:00

great day. great weather. bad start. great finish. great workout. great mood.

that roughly summed up my saturday. went to sch to do some bball training with samuel. well, i was late. hahahaha. my fault i guess. didn't set the alarm clock. thought that i won't slp until so late but hell, woke up at 1.20pm. was supposed to meet at 2.30 u see.

worse still, no lunch. so had to go over to mac to get my lunch, before rushing down to tp. slacked around the concourse level before heading down for bball. bball after lunch wasn't a great idea i should say. lol.

wasn't really in the mood for intensive training. can't really focus for the bulk of the day. don't know why and can't figure it out. its been a problem for me for a long long time.

asked samuel to pushed me by playing one on one. maybe i need my back against the wall before i will really perform. result? no good. can't focus still. result of one on one? samuel won 7-4. he's playing he's best whereas i'm just slacking throughout.

its not that i don't respect him. i respect him and i love playing against him. its always been this way. it just that there's a gap between us and i can't help but get complacent. i've told him this and he understood it. its like, why the hell would i need to go all out against him when 40% of my full strength is enough to beat him. well, its proven. 40% don't quite cut it.

like i've said in the previous post. i'll go all out against players i respect and samuel is one of them. prob is, its easier said than done. deep down inside, i wanted to go all out. he knows it, he can see it, i know it and i've been trying real hard. whatever the reason, i just can't.

5pm. some security shithead chased ppl playing around the sports complex out. "the sport complex close at 5. you go at 5." that's what the inflexible shithead said. well, u win.

went to the sheltered bball court outside tp. did some shootaround and then slacked. bo bian. there were ppl playing matches there. so finally, they stopped for awhile and i decided to go for one more try.

all out basketball. time was running out as it was getting dark. so one on one match. no holding back. result? i won 7-1. finally succeeded eh. think samuel was kinda shocked at first. he told me that i've improved as compared to the last time we went head to head against each other.

so after that, he regained he's composure and we play the best one on one against each other ever until this point. each brought out whatever energy and intensity we have left in us and never backed down from the challenge.

he led 3-1 initially. i chased it back to 4-4 before he took the lead at 6-5. he's final move was quite a mistake. did a step back jumper. he didn't really train on that whereas i did. i kinda knew the difficulty of step back jumper and already calculated the possibility of him missing.

told myself that it he ever missed his jumper, i'll use the opportunity to mount a comeback win. he missed and i made 2 straight lay ups to win the game at 7-6.

exciting game. tough win. and this is what i call respect. going at each other with everything we've got. both of us think that this kind of training will seriously benefit us in the long run. so how about bball every sat eh? lol.

anyway. went back to tp to bathe. dinner at subway before heading home. was really in a good mood after the 2 one of one matches. i'm not happy because i've won. i'm happy because i just went all out in a basketball match with a player i respect. its that respect factor that made it so valuable. well actually, winning those 2 matches did made me a little happier. hahahaha.

ok lah huh. shan't talk about bball any longer. gonna slp now. =)))

2009-07-08T22:35:00.005+08:00

yo, guess what? i was gl-ed to the max by a fellow bballer at my estate. hahahaha. big ass pussy right? hahahaha.

right now. i'm feel that i'm at peace with myself. i actually withstood provocation and i think it takes alot of willpower and discipline. its not that i don't wanna fight back and school that guy. its just that i don't see the need to.

my purpose of going down today was to do some zero-in after monday's weight lifting. its a routine. weight lifting on monday, zero-in on wed and then serious training on sat or sun. wed is a must, if not, the weight lifting on monday will screw up my strength control.

wanted to do solo shoot around but an acquaintance asked me to play with them so joined in. resisted the temptation of driving the lane and kept on shooting. really need to zero-in. so missed tonnes of shots. expected. airballs somemore leh. hahahaha. noob.

so yah. got gl-ed. didn't fight back. here's my take on it. basketball to me, is all about respect. i'm not a kick ass player, but when i'm facing weaker players, i don't taunt them. respect, period.

so yeah. i'm not focused during that game. so what? i'm just there to zero-in on my shots for saturday's training with samuel. u wanna guai lan me? go ahead. have fun. i hope you enjoy it.

u see, i've put so much effort into my training and i don't wanna sully my dignity by going all out just to prove that i can win u. what's the point? childish act. "yeah! i schooled u, faggot!" u actually get a kick out of that?

me? i wanna play my very best when it actually mattered the most. to play with a player that i respect, to protect a friend's dignity and so on. now, these are the things to play for man!

lets take cheng yu for example. tp school team player. hell of a player but he's humble. he played he's best against me when i'm not even close to his standard and made me realised what i actually can do at my full potential. pushed me forward and taught me lots of stuff. great great respect towards him and look forward to playing with him again. samuel can tell it. when i shared the same court with cheng yu, i'm all about business.

to protect a friend's dignity? hahaha. hell yeah. i remember this one time at the sheltered court outside tp. i was there with justin and jm. we don't usually visit there. the rim there is shit difficult to score and it was evident. i didn't even scored a single shit during shootaround. enough evidence to show that i won't be a factor for the night if we got into some match.

some of the regulars there challenged us. good players i should say. its a 4 on 4 match. those players who were friends against us plus an uncle training there. their team? epic. a big size guy who's way bigger than our own center, justin. a guy who's leaping ability was off the hook. 2 guys who were somewhat skilled players. i will say, those 2 guys are better than me.

but one of them made a big mistake. before the game actually started, the guy marking jm happened to said, "i'll mark the moh peng." thats it, game over.

i'm not sure if anyone other than me heard it, but at that time, its full throttle. led the game 10-8 before justin got the god damn leg cramps. in the end. lost 10-11 cause we were outnumbered. if i'm not wrong, out of the 10 points, i had 8 to 9, all by shooting when i can't even sink one during shootaround.

so yeah. bottomline? i go all out when i think its really worth it. so if i'm holding back? sorry, it just prove that you are not worth my 100%.

anyway, xiao liao. standard chartered sent me a card. "come run with us again!" hahahahahaha. jia lat. then ky's forming 2009's version of team18s. holy shit. have until 16 july to consider. so slowly lah huh. joined last year for the experience. if i join this year, i need something to run for. lol. i'm not a passionate runner arh. its not like basketball where u give me a call and say ,"eh, jem, damn sian, play bball leh." and i'll immediately agree. different case!

wah. jit bai see xiao liao.

we need guidance, we've been misled,
young and hostile, but not stupid.

2009-07-05T19:05:00.003+08:00

one week older. hahahahaha. seriously. time really pass quite quickly nowadays. u wake up, u go work, before u know it, its lunch time. go for lunch, come back, relax awhile and do work, before you know it, time to knock off. go home, have dinner, before u know it, time to slp. and the cycle repeats for 4 more days before there's some slight chances to your life.

anyway, met up with ky and jm for dinner at nydc on friday. jm's treat! lol. he's doing project for nydc so has vouchers lor. $3 for a nice dinner. power lah. dinner with them was great. nice food, nice time talking about anything and then walked around for awhile before heading home.

went down to tp to train on bball all by myself. lol. tp's a better place for training. its really empty there. at my estate, those kids were running around, quite hard to do serious training.

today? went to sch again to do projects. hahahahaha. no life ass hole. work and projects. bo bian! final year liao. more chiong than usual. but i'm kinda more motivated now after starting sip. good good. really need this change. if not i'm a slacking piece of shit man. hahahahahaha.

anyway, introducing my dream car. nissan s15. hot right? singapore 2nd hand with coe cheapest also around $80 plus k. hahahahaha. peng. but so hot! feeling a bit desperate now. hahahahaha.

was surfing the net about this and saw that there's rumors about s16? lol. shall wait and see lah huh. cannot afford s15 liao wanna chiong s16? lol. go rob bank? masterplan!

swee right? there's one around tampines stadium sia. red in colour. hahahahaha. reason to walk home everyday.

ok lah. think i'm gonna try and find something to do.

Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)
by D.Keirsey

All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office, factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists. Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and procedures, and traditional authority does not impress them, nor do slogans or catchwords. Only ideas that make sense to them are adopted; those that don't, aren't, no matter who thought of them. Remember, their aim is always maximum efficiency.

In their careers, Masterminds usually rise to positions of responsibility, for they work long and hard and are dedicated in their pursuit of goals, sparing neither their own time and effort nor that of their colleagues and employees. Problem-solving is highly stimulating to Masterminds, who love responding to tangled systems that require careful sorting out. Ordinarily, they verbalize the positive and avoid comments of a negative nature; they are more interested in moving an organization forward than dwelling on mistakes of the past.

Masterminds tend to be much more definite and self-confident than other Rationals, having usually developed a very strong will. Decisions come easily to them; in fact, they can hardly rest until they have things settled and decided. But before they decide anything, they must do the research. Masterminds are highly theoretical, but they insist on looking at all available data before they embrace an idea, and they are suspicious of any statement that is based on shoddy research, or that is not checked against reality.

Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Ulysses S. Grant, Frideriche Nietsche, Niels Bohr, Peter the Great, Stephen Hawking, John Maynard Keynes, Lise Meitner, Ayn Rand and Sir Isaac Newton are examples of Rational Masterminds.

Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging
by Marina Margaret Heiss
Profile: INTJ
Revision: 3.0
Date of Revision: 27 Feb 2005

To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs know what they know, and perhaps still more importantly, they know what they don't know.

INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. What prevents them from becoming chronically bogged down in this pursuit of perfection is the pragmatism so characteristic of the type: INTJs apply (often ruthlessly) the criterion "Does it work?" to everything from their own research efforts to the prevailing social norms. This in turn produces an unusual independence of mind, freeing the INTJ from the constraints of authority, convention, or sentiment for its own sake.

INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability. Whatever system an INTJ happens to be working on is for them the equivalent of a moral cause to an INFJ; both perfectionism and disregard for authority may come into play, as INTJs can be unsparing of both themselves and the others on the project. Anyone considered to be "slacking," including superiors, will lose their respect -- and will generally be made aware of this; INTJs have also been known to take it upon themselves to implement critical decisions without consulting their supervisors or co-workers. On the other hand, they do tend to be scrupulous and even-handed about recognizing the individual contributions that have gone into a project, and have a gift for seizing opportunities which others might not even notice.

In the broadest terms, what INTJs "do" tends to be what they "know". Typical INTJ career choices are in the sciences and engineering, but they can be found wherever a combination of intellect and incisiveness are required (e.g., law, some areas of academia). INTJs can rise to management positions when they are willing to invest time in marketing their abilities as well as enhancing them, and (whether for the sake of ambition or the desire for privacy) many also find it useful to learn to simulate some degree of surface conformism in order to mask their inherent unconventionality.

Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, can be the INTJ's Achilles heel. While they are capable of caring deeply for others (usually a select few), and are willing to spend a great deal of time and effort on a relationship, the knowledge and self-confidence that make them so successful in other areas can suddenly abandon or mislead them in interpersonal situations.

This happens in part because many INTJs do not readily grasp the social rituals; for instance, they tend to have little patience and less understanding of such things as small talk and flirtation (which most types consider half the fun of a relationship). To complicate matters, INTJs are usually extremely private people, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes them easy to misread and misunderstand. Perhaps the most fundamental problem, however, is that INTJs really want people to make sense. :-) This sometimes results in a peculiar naivete', paralleling that of many Fs -- only instead of expecting inexhaustible affection and empathy from a romantic relationship, the INTJ will expect inexhaustible reasonability and directness.

Probably the strongest INTJ assets in the interpersonal area are their intuitive abilities and their willingness to "work at" a relationship. Although as Ts they do not always have the kind of natural empathy that many Fs do, the Intuitive function can often act as a good substitute by synthesizing the probable meanings behind such things as tone of voice, turn of phrase, and facial expression. This ability can then be honed and directed by consistent, repeated efforts to understand and support those they care about, and those relationships which ultimately do become established with an INTJ tend to be characterized by their robustness, stability, and good communications.

Functional Analysis
by Joe Butt

Introverted iNtuition
INTJs are idea people. Anything is possible; everything is negotiable. Whatever the outer circumstances, INTJs are ever perceiving inner pattern-forms and using real-world materials to operationalize them. Others may see what is and wonder why; INTJs see what might be and say "Why not?!" Paradoxes, antinomies, and other contradictory phenomena aptly express these intuitors' amusement at those whom they feel may be taking a particular view of reality too seriously. INTJs enjoy developing unique solutions to complex problems.

Extraverted Thinking
Thinking in this auxiliary role is a workhorse. Closure is the payoff for efforts expended. Evaluation begs diagnosis; product drives process. As they come to light, Thinking tends, protects, affirms and directs iNtuition's offspring, fully equipping them for fulfilling and useful lives. A faithful pedagogue, Thinking argues not so much on its own behalf, but in defense of its charges. And through this process these impressionable ideas take on the likeness of their master.

Introverted Feeling
Feeling has a modest inner room, two doors down from the Most Imminent iNtuition. It doesn't get out much, but lends its influence on behalf of causes which are Good and Worthy and Humane. We may catch a glimpse of it in the unspoken attitude of good will, or the gracious smile or nod. Some question the existence of Feeling in this type, yet its unseen balance to Thinking is a cardinal dimension in the full measure of the INTJ's soul.

Extraverted Sensing
Sensing serves with a good will, or not at all. As other inferior functions, it has only a rudimentary awareness of context, amount or degree. Thus INTJs sweat the details or, at times, omit them. "I've made up my mind, don't confuse me with the facts" could well have been said by an INTJ on a mission. Sensing's extraverted attitude is evident in this type's bent to savor sensations rather than to merely categorize them. Indiscretions of indulgence are likely an expression of the unconscious vengeance of the inferior.

wahahahahahaha. like i've said all the time. i'm a tensai!

2009-06-28T21:33:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-06-24T22:31:00.004+08:00

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.

2009-06-21T22:00:00.003+08:00

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!

2009-06-15T21:52:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-06-13T22:19:00.003+08:00

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.

2009-06-06T00:11:00.003+08:00

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!

2009-06-02T15:32:00.002+08:00

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.

ok lah, shan't slack for too long. ops. did i just went to nike basketball website during work? lol!

2009-05-31T21:20:00.004+08:00

woah. coke can't taste any better man! hahahahaha. its been light years since i last tasted coke. had this thirst that i can't quench with plain water for days. so i was thinking, "wtf is wrong with me?" the answer is simple. a craving for coke. hahahahaha. si beh song!

celebrated 2 bdays last week. boss and my sis. boss's was quite epic. as for my sis? nth much, just food at home. i did bought her a $40 swensen's cake though.

for boss, i gave him he's bday present 2 week prior. a basketball in his face. best present i ever gave to anyone. hahahaha.

i also told him that world peace has became a dream on the day he was born. world peace aside, our boss has been quite a great boss i guess. brought team18 holdings to its peak and bankruptcy within one day. new record.

dota has been fun with him. jm, jj and i don't need to fear being first blood with him around. there's also occasional joke with him refusing help from us. ti ki! and an inside joke of him crashing his bike. as screwed up as he can be, he's still our favourite boss. no questions about that.

on may 27th, i met up with ky at 8 plus. he picked me up at burnt mac and we drove to tampines mall's carpark. went to t1 to look for jm and joy.

jm bought his new asics running shoes and then we drove to tp to pick boss up. its a free roller coaster ride trying to leave tampines mall thanks to ky. hahahahaha. anyway, boss that sucker can't bear to leave his bike at tp for one day and decided to ride home. so we had to drive to pasir ris and pick him up from there. nvm, he's bday, he big.

from there, went to east coast via our favourite route. this time 140km/h? wahahahahaha. power.

went to the food centre there and ordered quite alot of food. from there, we had a guai lan-ing battle going on. ky vs boss. epic ok? of course i'll be on ky's side. so were jm and joy.

i seriously has no idea how it started, but ky told boss that he's intuition told him that boss will be going home by bus if he continues he's gl-ing and bday emo-ing. boss retorted by telling ky that he's intuition told him that ky's intuition of him going home by bus that night was wrong as it's boss's bday. the day he's intuition is the strongest.

it continued throughout the outing with none of them wanting to admit their intuition was wrong. so when we were going home, boss was denied access into the car in order to fulfil ky's intuition of boss taking a bus home. boss however had another plan. he planned on taking a cab home to prove to ky that he's intuition in turn was wrong.

when we were about to drive home, we kinda got softhearted. so we called boss and ask if he wants to go home with us. that sucker in turn asked us if we wanted him to go home with us. hahahahaha. like this also can drag for minutes and the sucker wants to hear it from ky as its ky's car.

ky, of course don't wanna lose. then an idea struck me. i told ky, we lose this round first. the victory for the next round will be so song that it will totally erase this defeat from the record book. take this defeat for an epic shuangness.

so ky listened to me and told boss he wanted him back. boss of course came back to look for us. as he was approaching the car, i winded down the car mirror and we told him this.

"bye bye!" and we drove off. hahahahahaha. shuang shuang shuang!!! the reaction on boss's face? fucking priceless!!!

of course we stopped and allowed him to board the car. lets not go overboard arh. got the shuangness can liao. its he's bday afterall.

ky sent everyone home and then its zombie mode for work the next day.

no other outings other than this for the week as ky and jm had their sundown marathon.

objective accomplished. jem signing off.

2009-05-24T21:12:00.005+08:00

back for the sake of updating weekly. life has been the same for weeks so i don't really know what to blog about. feeling a lil bit random today, so i think i'll just keep on typing on how i feel about random stuff and some random facts about me.

first up, eventhough i always wanted to have a car, its been my dream to own a scooter since young. a vespa should be ok. and coupled with the helmet i saw at zinc tampines mall with ky. perfect!

i always thinks that ppl who attempt suicide are pathetic. this life u have can be given to others who are fighting for their dear lives right now. u have a choice. think about those who lost their lifes in the tsunami years ago and the earthquake last year, do they have a choice?

i think guys who abuse their girlfriend or wife should have their balls clamped and electrocuted. thats pathetic. u call urself a man by whacking the hell out of a weaker sex who can't match ur strength?

i think ppl who cheat on their partner are seriously fucked up. do u know what kind of damage u are doing to the victim?

i think time heals all wounds but there will always be a scar.

love with no status is a definite no way for me now. got so fucked by it. once bitten twice shy and i don't think i have any more of me left to go through with another one like this.

i think i have quite a strong mind power when it comes down to doing things i like. wanna try outlasting me in a bball match?

ask me what's my biggest achievement in bball and i will say winning a practice match against the dunman all star team way back in sec 1. razif, rc and hong yu against kang soon, josh and me. can u believe it? and oh yah, i hit the game winning 3 pointer. dig that!

i've always have this fantasy of hitting a game winning shot right at the buzzer in a real life bball competition. how orgasmic will that be man!?! the adrenaline rush, the freezing of time during the few seconds span, all eyes on you and the shot and you seeing nth but the rim.

biggest sporting achievements when i'm young? completing the 3km endurance swim without stopping at the age of 7 or 8. thats 60 laps ppl. 60.

biggest sporting achievements during secondary school days? coming in 9th in annual cross country during sec 2. sure, anyone can complete a 4km run. it maybe short for alot of ppl. but try winning a medal when u were pitted against the others. there's guys from soccer team and basketball team that i outran and i am only from ncc. if u wanna achieve big, you have to start small and win small. =)

nicest physical feelings in the world? shitting, peeing, being full, sleeping and orgasm. value: pricelesss.

my gang of brothers and i have stated that we will be a gang for life. "team18 holdings" until old age and maybe in the netherworld. however, i don't wanna be the first to die and neither will i want to be the last to die. its good to come in first for things, but being the first to die sounds pathetic. and being the last to die? how boring will life be when the other brothers are dead? sitting in coffee shop all by urself and reminiscing about the past is worse than dying i guess.

i'm afraid of growing fat cause my mum makes growing fat sounds like its worse than having cancer. hahahahahaha.

i'm only 5 weeks into my internship and i'm bored to death by the routine. i can't imagine how i am gonna stay with a company for couple of decades man. damn.

i think i'm old right now. i can't take the fact that i'm 20 for the coming 9th march. holy shit!

i don't scold "fuck" because i'm a vulgar person. its just that i think "fuck" sounds superbly nice. however, too much "fuck" turns me off.

i may appear hardworking to alot of ppl because i complete my work fast and on time. but thats for a higher purpose called slacking without huan loh-ing. whats the point of having fun when u can feel guilty of not completing ur work? man. this is what i call the full mastery in the art of slacking. free in mind and soul. lol.

i am not close to my younger brother at all. we have bipolar characteristics. he's a fulltime geek and i'm a 100% slacker. the hardworking traits that my parents have run in his blood and my blood contains their gl-ness. he listens to r&b sang mostly by female artists and i worship blink 182 and other punk rock/pop punk bands. ever thought of how a conversation between a geek and a guai lan slacker will be? hahahahaha. want a recording of that?

westlife during lower primary. jay chou and some punk rock during upper primary and lower sec. punk rock and pop rock since then until now and it'll stay that way until i die. at least thats what i think now.

i love beautiful things. so don't blame me when i stare at a pretty girl. hahahahaha. can't help it. the same goes for an artpiece or a photo.

i have short attention span. roughly ranging from 15 to 45 minutes. but during this time, i am super efficient.

i think the "s" on superman's chest stands for "stupid". fancy wearing he's redhot underwear in the wrong sequence as compared to a human being.

i don't speak much to acquaintances for i fear that i'll offend them. i'm super guai lan and i'll nv know when i'll say the wrong things.

i think my gang of brothers are not normal. and we have a long records that dates back to our secondary school days as evidences.

i think i have quite a good temper but if u know the keys and codes to seriously piss me off, its like a dormant volcano exploding. epic! the top prize for this achievement goes to my mum. and my sis earns the honourable mention award.

i'm super glad that blink 182 is back but tom delonge still sings like he's in ava. this makes him sounds like as if he had a dick in his mouth while singing "all the small things" live onstage in jay leno's show. and thats not a good thing.

i'm a self proclaimed genius because i think i show signs of me being a genius at times. hahahahaha.

i like the freedom of being single but at times i think its good to be tied down by a girlfriend. how cool will it be if i have a gf who knows when to tied me down and when to give me freedom? hahahahaha. i'm asking for too much here.

i don't think education is everything but i think it sets the base for everything.

i think eq is more important than iq. smart as hell but fucked up as shit in the personality department and all u get from me is
t(-_-t).

i think drummers are cool as hell. and having a female drummer in the band will be fucking cool.

same goes to me finding a gf. i may be attracted to beautiful things but when i find that the personality sucks. it turns me off. but it'll be cool as hell if my gf is pretty and have good personality. any guy who has this kind of gf better cherish them man. you're one lucky piece of shit.

i wanna have 2 kids. one boy and one girl. jayden and jayne. continue the tradition in my family of having "j" as the initial for our name.

i think i'll teach my son to play bball when he's young and hope that he'll develop a love for it.

a choice my son will have to make when the time comes. drums, guitar or bass? lol!

basketball wasn't my first love. i've tried soccer and rugby before settling for basketball. i wanted to join my primary sch soccer team but found out that i have not much interest in it not long after that. i've tried for the rugby team too but didn't get pick because my friend who was my partner for the trials threw the ball below my knee. how the fuck do u catch that kind of pass? and how the fuck do u make the team when ur coach thinks that u can't catch?

sometimes i hold back during pick up games just for the thrill of coming back from a deficit and winning the games eventually. but i try not to do that now as i think its very disrespectful to the opponents. however, i may still do that during one on one to see how much my friends have improved and to find out their flaws so that i can give them advise.

my swimming coach wanted to sign me up for water polo. but being too mind fucked by all the swimming at age 7 and 8. i declined the offer.

biggest regrets in life thus far? being too immatured and quitting the basketball team. however, if i didn't quit the bball team, i wouldn't be this close with my brothers now. so i guess its a blessing in disguise.

its 10.40pm and i think i should slp. lol!

but before i go, blink 182 playing "the rock show" and "all the small things" live on tonight with jay leno.

the rock show.

all the small things.

i think travis rocked the show man. so did mark.

gotta go. night.

2009-05-17T20:50:00.003+08:00

first up, congrats to kobe for making the nba 2008-09 all nba first team. hope there's more to come for u.

kobe bryant all nba selection photo.

however, i'm really disappointed with how the lakers are playing nowadays. 1-2 against a houston rockets that playing without yao ming? seriously, wtf is this?

from my observations, i think the lakers know that they are the most talented team in the league right now and that will be the reason for their downfall. arrogance and complacency. they may get through the conference semi finals against houston, but i doubt that they will go fair against nuggets until they play with both their talent and effort.

nba aside. went bballing with jm and boss ytd. nice trip man. played from 1 plus to 4 plus. its real nice to sweat it out and get a lil sun burnt. they play one on one, split 1 game each, played one on one against jm, 11-5 and then did some shooting training. most epic moment of the day was this.

i wasn't feeling like my usual self. normally, i don't take half court shots. but ytd, i had a feeling that something out of the ordinary will happen if i make an attempt. so i went to the half court line and heaved a half court shot. the release looked perfect at first. direct projection. it looked like the shot was going in. however, the release was abit low. the ball hit the front of the rim and went straight for boss's face.

after that, both jm and i lied on the ground and laughed for minutes before attending to boss. lol. epic. this kind of shot is more difficult than sinking a half court bomb ok?

blanjar boss a bottle of ice peach tea as apology and went on home. got ready and went for my uncle's wedding dinner.

thursday and friday night was spent with ky and jm. great great outings. met up with ky and jm after their adination run on thursday. was planning to join them but can't because the earliest i could get home was like 7pm? they already started then. so met them for dinner at subway and to talk cock. more craps after that at tampines mac. home sweet home after that.

friday night was spent with ky. was supposed to have pool but no one else can make it. so decided to just meet up with ky for dinner and inspection of t1, tm and cs.

argh. down with flu. not in the mood for an interesting update. ciao.

2009-05-10T15:14:00.005+08:00

"now is the law of the jungle---as old and true as the sky;
and the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
as the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the law runneth forward and back---
for the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.''
--rudyard kipling

i don't know when it was that i bought and accepted the concept of "we not me". its true that a team will have a slight advantage in terms of skills if its loaded with talented players. but what good will it serves if the talented players don't work in unison? just another team that is overrated. a very good example will be the 2004 usa olympic team that won bronze. loaded with stars, crashed and burned like one.

recently, i once again ran into a brick wall in my personal pursuit known as the mastery of basketball. already anticipated this to happen when i started my internship. lack of time to train is bad enough and sitting in the office for 10 hours don't seem to help either.

after 2 weeks of internship, i sort of lost the shooting touch, lost the intensity, lost the hunger to win, lost the passion, lost my self confidence and most importantly, lost many matches. i know i can keep up with my opponents and even overwhelm them, but i can't get my engine to start.

its analogy is simple. its like driving a car and the engine keeps stalling. you'll go like, "wtf, is jj's father driving or its poon kip mun the one thats driving?"

i kept on thinking to myself, "yo jem, you'll need to step up, we're losing here. do something. you know you can pull off a win if you just snap." well, the truth is, you can't just snap anytime you like.

i started blaming myself for not being able to step up during crucial moments and save the team. this took a toll on my self confidence. then i realised, basketball is a team game. even if i stepped up, all i can do is delay the defeat and maybe fortunately enough, steal a win or two.

problem is, i'm not playing like a team member, all i'm thinking about is getting the shot off and scoring. the cold hard truth is, i'm not a very good shooter, yet. so what about assisting, rebounding, communicating, weak side defending and doing those small little things that contributes to winning? i think i'm not doing all that in all my losing effort. when your offense fails you, its not over. you have your teammates to rely on offense and all you need to do is keep doing those other things needed to win.

just when i thought i'm done, i saw the light again. straightened out my thoughts and decided that i'm not running away like how i used to. like what ky and i believe in, physical conditions and skills are important, but what's more inportant is the will power, the mental strength. i am not naturally gifted in basketball, i've worked real hard for all my skills and some slight recognition, i will not take all these things for granted, i am not gonna regret once more, i am not letting my efforts go down the drain, i am not going down without a fight. this is the end of the beginning. the highlights, the interesting parts are coming.

went down this week for basketball again. this time, with intensity, with the hunger to win, with passion, with self confidence and most importantly, the concept of "we not me". trained on my shooting to remove the ball rust. when i'm ready, i played 5 matches. 3 half court games and 2 full court games.

lost the first half court game and realised that i'm not doing it right yet. switch mode to assist my teammate and playing defense on the second game, score 7-2. for the third game, i switch mode once again. this time, scoring, assist and defense, score 7-1. slowly, understood the flow a little bit more. don't force the game, let it come to you.

2 full court matches. won both. played against some secondary school team players. my team was outnumbered but had the height advantage. being the tallest, i filled in as center. last line of defense and in charge of limiting opponent's second chance.

1. not giving up when things aren't right - passion for the game: checked
2. couple of blocks and steals and disrupting of easy shots - intensity on defense: checked.
3. limited opponent's second chance - efforts in rebounding: checked.
4. attracted defense and kicked the ball out to open teammates - assisting and getting teammates involved: checked.
5. giving us the lead when we were down a point or two - hunger to win and scoring efficiency: checked.
6. winning the game as a team - increased in self confidence and the concept of "we not me": checked.

like i've said. the best has yet to come. hope i can keep this up once more.

2009-05-06T22:33:00.003+08:00

time check: 2235
condition: down with flu

ok. was supposed to be playing dota now. supposed. however, jj couldn't make it. so its left with pei and me. so decided to play ourselves. but of all time, garena needs to run client version check. on top of that. it doesn't seems to be running at all. one word. fuck!

a little jumpy here. down with flu u see. work has been real good. more accustomed to the work flow now and can handle all the admin work all by myself already. all by myself! wahahahaha. what to do? i'm a genius. lol.

anyway. lebron won this year mvp award. what can i say? although i'm a lebron hater, i think he deserves the award. ok. lets get this straight, i hate him because of the hype surrounding him and he's imba playing style. thats all. above all else, i respect him for his leadership and work ethic.

kobe and the lakers on the other hand, got through the first round of playoffs but crashed and burned against houston at home court ytd. nice one liao lor. lost the game and home court advantage. so what if lakers sweep the houston 4-0 in their season series? achievements during the regular season means nothing in the playoffs. if kobe and lebron ever meet in the nba finals, i won't be surprised if the cavaliers win eventhough kobe's lakers swept the cavs during the regular season. they lakers are just not playing at a contender's level right now. blew 3 20 points lead against utah and barely managed to survive. how's that for a top seed in the western conference? disappointing.

anyway, gotta dota now. finally can get in. read up on the problem on the internet. nahbeh. change server nia! think they updating server or something.

2009-05-01T20:20:00.004+08:00

finally, a slightly longer weekend. a hectic week at work. covered up for our sales coordinator who was on leave for the whole week.

went down to fareast after work ytd to get myself a new famous stars and straps t shirt. lol. live fast, die fun. thats what written on it. lol.

then went home to wash up before meeting up with brothers and close friends to ton at pasir ris park. lol. craps, stupid actions, bridge, cheat, black jack, dai di, drinks, peanuts, sushi, crazy ass stunts and an imitation of f1 repair crew.

during a 4 men trip to the toilet. ky, boss, jj and i tried to carry 4 men on boss's bike. practically tried all the way until the toilet before boss's bike gave way.

jm joined in after we returned to our pit. mission failed also. after multiple tries with different riders, we concluded that the stunt was achievable but boss's bike wasn't able to take the load. pretty fun actually, helped boss to stress test his bike and pushed it to its limits before making attempts to repair it.

after that, we were all sitting at the pit crapping and eating peanuts. got a little bit bored and tried different ways of cracking the peanuts. we used of forehead, biceps, armpits and the gap between our fingers. other suggested ways were in between the balls and using the asshole.

breakfast at mac and then its home sweet home at around 7 am. not much photos taken. haven really asked around.

spammed. 8 packs of peanuts, 3 bottles of iced peach tea, 2 bottles of iced lemon tea and 2 bottles of green tea.

lol. before this. he was damn high doing his "nuar" thing.

alright. dinner time.

2009-04-26T15:53:00.006+08:00

alright. done with my first week of internship. 15 more week to go. lol. frankly speaking, waking up at 7 in the morning everyday and working in the office all the way until 6pm is a pain in the ass for starters like me. however, i seriously find this internship experience to be very interesting.

shall not touch on the details of what i did during the 1st week. its all in the logbook. anyway, saw just my type of girl on friday morning while taking the mrt to work. heartpain sia. hahahaha. nv ask for number. regretting like fuck currently. lol. girls that appeal to my taste are hard to come by leh! damn it!

ok. back to main topic. went back to sch ytd for sip on campus session. was supposed to be in sch by 9 but i was late. in the end, my liaison officer nv turned up and i waited for like almost an hour outside the class room like an idiot. went to look for my alternate liaison officer and then shared some experience before going to lt for some briefing session.

lunch at t1 with anton, samuel and nigel. walked around t1 to slack, talk cock and update each other before going home.

reached home, bathed and went to use the computer before ky called me to meet jm and him at tampines interchange.

ate dinner and went to look for them at tampines burnt mac. jm took $1 from me. lol. our brotherhood rule, as long as the amount borrowed isn't over $1. there's no need to return it. hahahahaha. he went on to buy a double cheese burger.

followed ky to tampines mall to buy nasi lemak before heading over to t1. met up with boss there and sat on the staircase at t1's entrace to talk cock and eat. while i was surveying the area, i heard a series of sudden movements and when i turned around to check it out. i saw $1 worth of double cheeseburger landing on the floor in front of me. hahahahaha.

ky kept on laughing. jm's face was classic and boss was emo-ing for no reason. lol. the next thing jm did, placed the burger in the plastic bag that came with it and stepped on the burger. more laughter from ky and me.

jm: walao eh, i only half full leh!
me: why not like this lah. saw that dustbin over there? if u manage to throw the burger in from above, i blanjar u one back.
ky: steady! i split the cost with jem.
jm: steady arh. but what if i miss?
ky: then i'll pick the burger up for u and we zhao.
me: ok. set. zhao into the shopping mall best.
jm: steady.
ky: steady.
boss: hahahahahahaha.

wanna know what happened?

after that, we went to walk around t1 before going to burnt mac to slack and get jm's burger. jm needed to go home for dinner as well as to watch a tv show, so he needed to go off early. however, he managed to persuade us to go to his house void deck to wait for him and slack together after he's done with he's stuff.

so jm took boss's bike and cycled home whereas the rest of us took our own sweet time walking from tampines interchange to jm's house.

ky went s11 to get some chips and we went search for 7-11 for my peach tea. went to 2 7-11 and only managed to get lemon tea. boss was still emo-ing and thus i blanjar him a bottle to cheer him up.

boss: hahahaha. mission accomplised. thats my purpose for acting emo the whole night. free stuff.
ky: scheming bastard.

lol. much crap along the way to jm's house.

boss went up to jm's house after we reached as he needed to use the toilet. so ky and i proceeded to the playground under jm's block to wait for them.

jm brought down a wave board and 2 men's health magazine for us. so ky and boss challenged each other to see who picked up wave boarding faster while i sat there and read the men's health magazine and laughed at them. didn't played along as i'm afraid of injuring my left ankle.

switched place after an hour or so to the front portion of jm's block. they continued their wave boarding while i carried on with my reading.

then slowly after awhile, we went on to do some other stuff like doing hand stands and training our abs. home sweet home at around 12.

somewhat decided to do this every saturday night for the rest of my sip period depending on the situation.

some visuals.

boss wave boarding i think.

ky and jm looking at boss practising.

looked quite cool eh? but before this. he rammed into the lamp post that's right in front of him.

bryant pack!

jm wave boarding.

quite blur arh.

boss caught dancing. lol.

ok. shall stop here.

anyway, where's the rest of them man. was supposed to meet up on msn at 3pm for dota. lol!

2009-04-19T20:39:00.004+08:00

hey yo ppl. its been a week or so. hmmmm. from this week onwards, i think i'll be blogging much lesser than usual. life will get quite boring for the next 16 weeks. wait! i think boring is not the word, systematic should be.

yeah, i'm going for my sip. office hours everyday yo. on top of that, there's logbook to fill in, e journals to write and report to finish. pretty hectic i should say. hope there's friendly ppl at my workplace and there's no info tech stuff like excel for me to do. lol. i've returned everything back to my tutors. so for safety measures, i think its best i take the whole excel textbook to work for the first few weeks.

so here's the plan. weekdays are for sip. maybe friday for some meetings in the night. like pool or something. weekends will be for bball, running, outings and slacking.

anyway, went down to sma building to get my pay with jj and jm a few days back. then its down to bugis for dinner with kelly and joy, slacking around and picking up of items for my brother. after that, pool with jm, jj and boss. lol. nth much for the week actually.

went bball on wednesday and ytd i think. my shooting is still there, just need to remove some rust. yeah. been resting for quite a long time after the bike trip to east coast. i strained my both thighs back then and didn't allow them to fully recover before going for bball again. so the strain and fatigue kinda lingered there for quite some time.

hahahaha. played 3 games over the 2 training days. lost 2. didn't really focus. the opponents were some lower sec sch team boys. can't get serious against them. lol.

ok lah. nth to blog about also. boring life. oh yah. i forgot something. nba playoffs started. so there's a very lil extra bit of excitement in life now.

so now, i guess its good bye and so long.

2009-04-11T21:34:00.004+08:00

woah. just realised that i didn't blog for quite a long time. well, had better things to do i guess. been playing psp games and dota-ing with jm, jj and boss. oh yah, played murderer on wc3 also with them including ky. mind games. cool shit. can't explain why but ky and i always identify each other when the other party was the murderer.

sip's starting soon eh. by right it should start on 13th april but mine starts on the 20th and ends one week later. there's pros and cons. i had one more week to slack now but has lesser time to write the report. but oh well, bo bian.

went to the new opened tampines one with ky and boss on thursday. that place's quite cool. totally thrashed tm. so with that new mall, tampines currently has almost everything we need other than a place for pool and my "2001" shop which is still at fareast. lol.

went to bugis with jm, jj, boss and ky ytd. went to haji lane to look for the exact location of the company i'm attached to, then went to sim lim square to accompany jj and boss to buy mouse for gaming, went for parklane wanton mee, slacked around sunshine plaza for the rain to stop, walked over to iluma shopping mall, hang around iluma, trained back to tampines, slacked at tampines one, went tm for cartel, went opposite tm for jm's $2.50 dinner, went back to tm to buy a pair of billabong pants and finally, home sweet home.

so my official last week of holidays eh. lets go havoc before we get tied down again. tonning at pasir ris park again next week i think. so better find a poker deck fast if not i'm gonna get scolded again. lol.

lastly, better get my f-ing ass down for some serious bball.

alright. over and out.

2009-04-03T00:41:00.005+08:00

woah. its april. time really flies. almost one month into 19 years of age.

what have i done these holidays? abit of work, creating stronger bonds with brothers by celebrating their bday with them, helping out my mum throughout the holidays, training on my bball skills, an overnight potluck and a kickass cycling trip.

other than that, its sitting infront of the computer and rotting at home. alright, dota with boss, jj and jm is real fun. picked up dota once again. changed alot eh. still getting used to it. but shall not play too much. more dota means less bball training and its evident for this week. i only went down for shootaround on tuesday and didn't organinse the usual thursday bball trip. damn!

my legs are still strained but that only affects me very very very slightly. not a good reason to skip bball. am just too lazy. i admit.

sip's starting. well, hope i get into a good company with good superiors. no info tech stuff pls. i almost flung them all the time. nv more and a "c" for it modules.

as for driving lessons? hahahahaha. thats another bullshit also. been saying all the time that i'll start learning these holidays. but there's no motivation. like whats the point of getting a license when there's no car to drive? ok. after this week, maybe i'll kick into overdrive and finish up those stuff that should have been accomplished a long time ago.

actually, i've no idea what those stuff are but well, i've a few more days to figure them out.

lastly, a list of upcoming releases from a few bands.

amber pacific - 2009
american hi fi - april/may 2009

2009-03-30T17:20:00.003+08:00

he's back! finally, gilbert arenas is back. for a very long time, i've been anticipating his return. finally. there's more excitement in the nba now. it's cool to follow kobe bryant's games but on days he's not playing, there's practically nth much to look forward to. but now its different, with arenas back, there's one more player to follow. don't ask me y i don't follow lebron, u all know the answer.

well, his return wasn't really an epic one. he's team lost and his final attempt got blocked, but who cares. its already good enough that he's back. u can't expect someone who missed a year of basketball to come back and play like nth had happened.

alright, lakers lost today also. kobe wasn't feeling well. sianned, thats all i can say. cavaliers will get the best record i think. sad case for lakers.

alright. some videos.

a scene from this is spinal tap, a mock rockumentary released in 1984. haven't really watch it yet but the comments are like "go watch it right now!"

superhero dunks.

lameass video.

alright. dinner time.

2009-03-28T00:39:00.007+08:00

its here!

received my blink 182 t shirt ytd. once again, thanks to everybody who chipped in to buy that masterpiece for me. really appreciate it alot.

also wanna thanks samuel and nigel for buying this awesome deck of poker cards for me. but seriously, i won't be using it. its not that i don't appreciate it, its just that i don't wanna spoil it. will be keeping it like a treasure with my fhm deck.

kick ass poker deck.

my fhm deck. this is a new one. the old one has been inducted into jeremy's hall of fame already. prob is, i can't find it anywhere. maybe i threw it away then xiao liao lor.

anyway, went cycling with jun ming, jun jie and peiren ytd. damn cool trip. it may only have 4 of us but we have all the people needed to make the trip super fun. credits goes to the 3 pro entertainers arh.

met up with them at white sands mac at around 1.15pm, had lunch at burger king, gl-ed boss about his new specs for the whole lunch time and then its down to pasir ris park to rent bike.

"eh, pei ren. new specs don't later giddy then buang arh."

from there, we rode all the way to east coast park with a only major break at changi village for my close to daily dosage of soya bean.

took us 3 hours to ride from pasir ris to east coast mac. shagged like shit when we reached there. somemore only half the trip completed, must go back to pasir ris. ate a bit at the mac before leaving for pasir ris.

for the first time in my life, i have cramps in my thighs. when we reached somewhere near changi, my left thigh kena cramp when we stopped for the traffic lights. jm fetched me for a short distance before i resume riding. rode with them for quite a distance before having muscle cramps in both my thighs when we stopped to cross the road. bo bian liao lor. only can ride and cannot stop. impossible.

so jm fetched me to changi village and i took bus 109 to pasir ris while they went to return the bikes. dinner at pasir ris mac and then home sweet home. lol. kinda feel like a gaylord now. ass hurts, balls hurt, thighs are super weak, super shagged and kena sunburnt which i like! lol.

lesson learnt from ytd's trip, nv go long distance cycling after u trained bball for 5 hours the day before. lol.

hell yeah, thats what i did on thursday. went bballing with justin, samuel, anton and chen wee. fun training i should say. played some matches, normal shoot around, free throw shooting competitions, self training and then the grand finale, fast break training.

1 attempt at each side of the court. miss one and u continue the drill until u can score at both sides. run like crazy, well, not for me. my favourite drill so has been practising it alot myself. lol.

sounded like a demonic coach once again when i was inspecting. lol. for cooling down drill. we shoot free throws. rotate one try per person until we hit 20. miss 3 in a row and its 5 pumpings each. lol. in total, i think we did 20 pumpings. lol.

good thing we nv go run the 400m sprint if not i'll cry ytd. was already quite shagged even before i started cycling.

ok. shall let the visuals do the talking.

lol. even while cycling, we nv fail to fool around. helped the spider to test the strength of its web. lol.

jj and boss staring at the spider.

jm leading the way to east coast park.

stopping for a little water break.

jj the stunt king.

our ae86s.

alright, getting ready to move on.

the bryant pack. lol. should go and wash my bag one day.

ok. before i sign off. this is gay shit. while dl-ing fallout 3 for jm, the dl speed hit 700 plus kb per second. xiao boh. i thought my com went haywire.

screen shot of the dl speed at 500 plus kb per second.

am feeling like an okama now, so i shall go slp.

2009-03-22T20:23:00.012+08:00

ok. photos and videos taken during potluck. enjoy.

asking jj and boss to gay each other as part of punishment.

hahahahaha! the gay team.

jm and joy.

3 of my brothers.

brothers since 2004.

kelly gui, my brother brother.

game time!

camera shy?

lol. the flash from the camera was too strong. thats y u have the reaction from jm and has ky covering his face.

lol. i think he was about to get his nipple pinched by boss.

with "j", u can set the rules for anyone.

boss was supposed to carry jj, but he said he can't do it, so he had to support jj while jj lean backwards.

lol. tak pai one leh. boss always has mud and dirt in the hole of his bike's handle.

cool huh?

"brothers watch ur front, brothers sedia!"

"lima langkah ke belakang gerak!"

"brothers, diam!"

"boss, why u laugh when u diam? knock it down!"

"brothers, cepat jalan!"

"brothers, hentak kaki cepat hentak!"

"brothers, berhenti!"

jm and joy again.

the drinks.

and the toys which were thrown into the dustbin.

boss and ky listening to our self recorded brotherhood theme song.

dunno who's this bear belongs to.

random shot by dunno who.

grabbing boss to throw him into the water.

then he self service.

jeremy "jem stifler" lim.

lex "ndu to be" lee.

sim "the boss" pei ren.

chua "the pro" jun jie.

vanda "the baka" cheah.

lol. usm, short form for ultraman sergeant major. i think we did this pose a few years back.

双天至balls as called by jun jie. this is the first attempt which failed. look closely, the 3rd peanut flew off.

双天至balls 2. the successful version.

双天至balls 3. the remastered version with better lightings.

thats all.

2009-03-20T21:44:00.005+08:00

had nth to do so i'm back to blog. lol.

nth to blog about today leh. hmmmm. maybe i'll blog abit about nba and its race to mvp. it'll bore u peeps out. i just know it. so i suggest u all to save urself from the pain. lol!

first up. read this article and this stats sheet.

kobe is the most efficient at the end of games during clutch time. but overall, he's not performing like lebron and wade. there's arguments saying that kobe is holding back so that his young team can grow but like the article said, he's not living up to the great expectations ppl have on him right now. honestly speaking, i expect 30 plus points per game from him. lol.

dwayne wade won't win it this year either. leading the league with 29.9 points per game is good but kobe didn't win it when he led the nba with 35.4. this is because of the system called "best player on the best team".

so it comes down to lebron james. yeah yeah. although i hate to say this but, he have the best chance of winning it this year. best team record and as usual, lebron is filling up the stats sheet and wins kobe in every categories except 3 point and free throw percentage. what pisses me off is that ppl are saying that kobe is playing with pau gasol who is a more legitimate all star than lebron james's teammate, mo williams and that kobe has a better team than lebron.

what those shitheads nv noticed is that kobe's team has only one ex/current all star teammate in pau gasol and lebron's team has 4 ex/current all star teammates in ben wallace, zydrunas ilgauskas, wally szczerbiak and mo williams.

ok lah. lazy to discuss more. the last time i did a blog post about kobe and lebron, it ended up worse than replying an essay question.

edited photos here. sir took this photo for me. thanks arh.

well, whenever i'm on the court, its me against the world.

grayscale.

thats all for today.
