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.

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.

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.

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.

that short paragraph pretty much sum up our day there. i would say the trip was one of the most enjoyable trip in recent years. really took my mind off alot of things.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ok. brain dead. gonna slp now.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

talking about blowing ppl's mind off.

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

ok lah. slp!

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.

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.

finally am back.

well, from saturday all the way to tuesday, i've stayed at home to keep my mum company. kinda helped her on some stuff like going out with her to buy items that the house lack and being her bodyguard.

accompany ky on tuesday to go and take timing for him while he do his fartleks. i didn't train with him cause i had just eaten and it was a super sudden thing.

trained him using different methods like chasing a target, running after a fast runner or my favourite, time attack. pretty fun trip i should say. comments from ky? i'm a demonic coach. lol. actually shouted across the track to him when i find him running too slowly.

came up with a new way to train for fartleks and told ky about it. he kinda like my idea, maybe we should try it out during our next training.

after that, we went tm to walk around before going home.

ytd was hell lots of fun albeit some minor misunderstandings among us brothers. but heck it, nth can't be solved among us.

potluck trip was super. for those who didn't make it, all i can say is u dunno what u missed. jj, ky and me were the first to reach, so we dai di-ed all the way until vanda, kelly, boss, sir, joy and josh arrived.

ate, talked cock, played games with funny punishments like jm's idea of hugging lamppost and my idea of asking boss to pinch jm's nipples while jm tried to whistle so that boss can stop pinching him, sang some ncc cheers, tried to teach ky a nursery rhyme which he totally forgot, did some ncc drills with some twist like doing it in chinese, played poker using peanuts as chips, jj and ky arranging the peanuts into a super long line with a coincidental count of lucky number 88, me trying to imitate some gambling god, us getting high on the way to the bus stop due to fatigue, ky and me racing up the travellator in ehub and ky scaring the shit out of jj after jj's post "coming soon" trauma. lol. super fun.

photos and videos of ytd's potluck trip will be uploaded once i have them.

as for today, went bballing with justin, josh, jm and boss at tp. fun trip. alot of stupid things like justin making a fool out of me in front of them and boss accidentally blocking his own teammate's shot in a game.

ky came for fartleks in tp's track. the rest went home for dinner so its me who timed ky again. showed improvements in his timing. for his last round, ky asked me to run in the opposite direction in lane 7 while he run in lane 1 and see which of us will reach the starting point first. my timing was 1 minute 17 seconds whereas ky's was 1 minute 28 seconds. can't blame him arh, ran so many rounds liao of course slightly slower lah.
