Valentine's day this year wasn't a big hoohar for myself as for the past couple of weeks. The case of ezcema has hit me again and it's pretty bad as compared to the ones previously. Nonetheless, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who showered their concern and keeping me entertained.

Special thanks goes out towards Sham, for constantly being there for me and cheering me up when my morale isn't at its highest. I hope you understand that I'm not able to do alot of things like we used to before till I get better, I'm sorry for that. :(
Apologies again for the outings, picnics & whatnot that didnt materialized during the past few weeks. I hope, I'm not troubling you or anything. :(

Valentine's Day shouldn't be just the 14th february of every year but everyday of the year! Everydays' life moments with you should be treasured. Honestly, I feel loved whenever you're there, constantly putting up with me and just being you. Thanks for always being my No.1 fan from A-Z, I really appreciate it.

'Love doesn't make the world go round, Love is what makes the ride worthwhile'

I Love You, Shamela 'Chan' Sugumal :)

RP Salsaz!

2008-10-20T02:28:00.004+08:00

sometimes it comes to a point where you begin to weigh out the options.

on a lighter note, one win & 45min away from defending our POL-ITE Crown.
i've got a good feeling about this yo!

training later in the day.

ciao.

2008-10-15T12:51:00.004+08:00

you know the feeling you get when you feel that all the bumps, bruises, the aches the pain and everything else pays off.

It was McDonalds to feed our happy Salsaz Team after a very great game :)

Lets enjoy this victory but not forget about the task at hand. C'mon!

2008-10-11T14:02:00.002+08:00

2matches down,3more to go.

Next game is against ITE.

Preparation is key, and we've all got 4days. Lets make the best out of it.

Anyhows, I like our old school jerseys! Like Ahmad would say, 'It fits us perfectly'

2008-10-01T02:43:00.004+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya to my family and everyone else!

cheers!

2008-09-01T23:17:00.003+08:00

One of my classes next semester will be the same as Sham's. Hehehe!
It's gonna be pretty weird and funny at the same time.

2008-08-29T00:54:00.002+08:00

Champions League Grp D

Liverpool
PSV Eindhoven
Marseille
Atletico Madrid

It's probably the toughest group of the lot.

2008-08-23T00:00:00.002+08:00

Sorry I can't text msg you, since I've not paid the bill. I reckon here's the next best thing to let you know that, it's that time of the month again.

Happy 13th Shamela Sugumal

2008-08-20T22:23:00.005+08:00

Olympic Sprint Double

The new 100 & 200m champion, Usain 'The Lightning' Bolt. He ran the 200m in a World Record time of 19.30sec beating Michael Johnson's record. The first man since Carl Lewis to do the Olympic Sprint Double.

2008-08-19T15:30:00.000+08:00

Mr Olympia

8 Gold Medals at a single Olympic Games breaking Mark Spitz record of 7. He's also the man with a record 14 Olympic Gold Medals and the best part is he's only 23 years old. I'm confident he will bag more come London2012.

During one his press conference he said, ' I dont want to be the next Mark Spitz but the only Michael Phelps'. Such words moved me to want to achieve greater things, be it in sports or life.
Personally, I can never get enough of success and winning. However it does not come easy because after all, I've got to salooot the man for his hardwork, discipline and passion for the sport. 8 Gold Medals at one game is no easy feat and he did so by breaking 7 World Records & 1 Olympic Record.

Just like Mr Phelps would say, 'Nothing is Impossible, All it takes is Imagination'

2008-08-17T00:26:00.004+08:00

Michael Phelps - Mr Olympia!

An astonishing 7 Gold Medals so far equalling Mark Spitz record. The best part is, he has 1 more final to go.

Usain Bolt - World's Fastest Man

Remember the name, Usain Bolt from Jamaica. He clocked 9.69s to shatter the World and Olympic Record en route to winning the Mens 100m Final. His fellow countryman, Asafa Powell was not even close, finishing a disappointing 5th.

2008-08-13T19:37:00.004+08:00

Mens 4 x 100M Freestyle Relay

I think this is the best relay I've seen so far at this years' Beijing Olympics. Team USA lead by Michael Phelps smashed the previous World Record by 4secs and made the French eat their words.

It was a very emotional race by far and Michael Phelps chasing an unprecedented 8 Gold Medals at this years' games will have this particular relay team to thank come end of the day.

2008-08-11T11:07:00.000+08:00

You'll always be in my heart, grandma.

Semester 1 - Final Year Project (FYP)

Finally, FYP for Semester 1 has ended. I thought our presentation was good and the 5 of us did well presenting and answering the questions by our assessors.

Topics for FYP Semester 2 will be out before the holidays. It's gonna be another long semester with FYP. The good thing is, I'll only be going to school for 3days next semester and there's a whole lot of events to look forward to, both academically and in sports (:

2008-07-27T23:30:00.002+08:00

My last POL-ITE for Tennis has come to an end. It was not exactly how I planned or wanted it to be, nonetheless there are many bittersweet memories that I can take along with me.

One consolation was that I finally got to play doubles in a POL-ITE match after 3 long years!
I see it as a parting gift for me and what a way to end my POL-ITE campaign in style. A 9-0 win on top of the school winning 3-2 over Singapore Polytechnic. Personally by my standards, 4th is not good enough, even though we were under strength and lacking in depth, from the start I believed we could have won the Gold despite the odds that we had to overcome. Maybe my prediction/goal was a little too ambitious? then again who aims for 2nd,3rd,etc when they go in for a competition.

My record stands at 12wins, 3losses. Personally achievements is one thing, however I would have loved for the team to win something from this year, moreover the Year 3s graduating.

It's been a long journey, & I'm proud for myself and my teammates for being part of this journey with me.

Thank you guys! I love you all.

2008-07-15T14:09:00.002+08:00

I'm feeling a Roger Federer @ Wimbledon.

The lost was kind of hard to swallow. Abysmal is all I can say about my performance yesterday. We were so close yet so far. I felt the pressure of both the doubles losses and I guess it showed mid-way into the match.

Friday's against Ngee Ann, the defending champions by what i like to call default since they lost to us last year and were still crowned champions.

Nonetheless, this a lesson that I can only learn from and improve myself further. (:
RP Vamos, Cmon KAMIL!

2008-07-07T14:58:00.007+08:00

This says it all.

A dejected Roger Federer

VAMOS RAFA!

Rafael Nadal ended Roger Federer's reign of 5 consecutive Wimbledon Titles with a 6-4 6-4 6-7 6-7 9-7 victory. The 2008 Gentlemen's Final was also the longest match in the history of the tournament.

To be honest, I've not seen Federer looking so depressed and disappointed for a long time. The first picture posted explains everything.

Perhaps it's time for the changing of the guard? Step right up, Mr Rafael Nadal!

2008-07-05T22:25:00.003+08:00

Chris:
Weak, I have been crying and crying for weeks.
How'd I survive when I can barely speak,barely eat on my knees.

Keri:
But that's the moment you came to me, I don't know what your love has done to me.
Think im invincible I see through the me I used to be.

You've changed my whole life, don't know what you're doing to me with your love.
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me, a superhuman heart beats in me, nothing can stop me here with you.
Superhuman..
I feel so superhuman x2

Chris:
Strong, since i've been flying and righting the wrongs.
Feels almost like i've had it all along, I can see tomorrow.

Keri:
Where every problem is gone because I flew everywhere with love inside of me.
It's unbeliveble to see how love can set me free.
You've changed my whole life, don't know what you're doing to me with your love.
I'm feeling all superhuman you did that to me, a superhuman heart beats in me, nothing can stop me here with you.
Superhuman..
I feel so superhuman x2

It's not a bird, not a plane, it's my heart and it's going gone away.
My only weekness is you, only reason is you, every minute with you
I feel like I can do, anything..
Going,going i'm gone away, in love.

(Sorry for the poor resolution, it was taken with a camera phone)

The STA Advanced Singles & Doubles 1 has come to an end.

It has been a terrific journey for Myself & Ernest. We made it to the final day of play, and played our first Final as a tandem after 2 semi-finals and a quarter-final loss in the previous tourmaments. It's been a pretty exhausting week of Tennis and I must say it's been quite sometime since I played that much Tennis in a week. I reckoned, I played a total of 7 matches in a week, both singles & doubles. Nonetheless it has been quite a journey in this tournament, looking forward to more as the 2nd half of the year begins (:

2008-06-14T11:37:00.005+08:00

Oranje!

Netherlands totally gave France a football lesson in yesterday's EURO 2008 Group C match. The Dutch won 4-1 after goals from Kuyt, Van Persie, Robben & Sneijder sealed the deal and condemned The French to the brink of elimination.

Superb display of fluid counterattacking football that brought them to the Quarters of EURO 2008.

& not forgetting, Sham for the hospitality (:

Thanks!

o6/06/08 - Traffic Police (TP) Test

I passed at my first attempt, which means saving the time and money from travelling and booking for practical lessons. I got 12 points, 4 for failure to conform to safety while parking and 8 for causing motorists to take invasive action, like what the hell la sial! Nonetheless, I passed and I'm so god-damn-bloody happy la! (:

Glitz 08' - 21st May 08'

Republic Polytechnic - Sports Hall

Nominated Sportsman of the Year two years running but both times i came up short. Congratulations to Mcken for his crowning glory!

Personally this isn't a lost because I believe I'm destined for greater things in life. This is a stepping stone for me to learn and nurture myself to be a better sportsman as well as individual.

Thank you Mom&Dad, shammy!, friends for the support... it means alot to me (:

21 May 2008 - Luzhniki Stadium - Moscow

Liverpool won't be in May 21st showcase at the Luzhniki, nonetheless it will be a first Champions League Final showcasing 2 English clubs.

Being a Liverpool fan, there's no way I'm rooting for Manchester United to win it. On the other hand, I'm not a fan of Chelsea either, therefore I'll be watching for the free flowing attacking football that both teams are known to produce. May the best club win Champions League 2008.

On another note, GLITZ 08' will be held tomorrow @ RP's Sports Complex. It will be bittersweet if I am crowned Sportsman of the Year, nonetheless I will have no expectations of winning but I will be hoping for the best.

2008-05-19T04:12:00.003+08:00

okayyy i got bored of the previous blogskin I had because it was all about me! heh. Since I have someone else to care about besides myself, I thought this would be appropriate. (:

cheerios!

2008-05-18T13:07:00.004+08:00

I must admit that Sham got one over me this time around. Yesterday was movie day with her but little did I know that I was actually gonna talk about superhero, cool graphics, red and gold body armour at the end of the movie.

We met after her 30n3 floorball & my driving respectively. I'd say. Congrats SHAMMY! for the 2nd place finish. As for me, only 3 weeks till my TP but I'm done with my modules for driving, I'm just left with revision. (: Anyhows, Sham went earlier to book the tickets blah blah blah....

When I arrived she told me that tickets to IronMan were sold out and we were watching Made of Honour. Guess what? I actually believed her! ): To make the long story short, I only found out that I was watching IronMan when the Marvel strip came out before the movie started and thats where it all started to make sense. She didn't let me see the movie times on the screen, and didn't even let me see the tickets and kids aged 5-6 watching Made of Honour? C'mon Kamil!

Yeah, yeah yeah, I got punk'd this time around.

Thanks anyways, I thought it was adorable though! (:

Personality: Mood (WildCat)

Personality: Fun (Thriller)

Personality: Habits (New Wave Puritian)

Personality: Social (Socialite)

It's pretty interesting actually because sub-consciously you discover things that you might have not thought about your personality. I wasn't bored, so this personality test isn't for very bored people! but i was interested to find out more about myself. HAHA.

2008-05-11T20:41:00.000+08:00

I call her Ah Boi!

hehehe.

Shammy & Bear Bear! Wii! (:

Either she's really shy & speechless or she's laughing because there's one candle short :(

Sham & Adroits! (:

Happy 19th Sweetheart! <3

I hope you had a blast!

IVP Semi-Finals 2007/2008

Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP)

1830pm

After the team talk on Monday, it was evident that everyone came to NP with a common goal and that was to fight & play hard and came out winners of the Semi-Finals. We duly delivered with a 6-2 win over NTU.

It was not all smooth sailing in the course of the 3 periods. Nonetheless, the desire to get to the Finals was there and i reckon this will carry on from now till the final whistle on Friday.

A repeat of last year's IVP Finals;

Republic Polytechnic (RP) vs Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP)

I'm sure some want to avenge the defeat to NYP in last year's final. The only thing that's stopping us from winning the championship is ourselves. We all have come so far and destiny is right there for the taking. Let's go out there and play like champions!

'Team guts always beat individual greatness' - Bob Zuppke

2008-01-12T23:59:00.000+08:00

We finished 2nd in our group and through to the semi-finals of the IVP after losing out of first placing via goal difference. Nonetheless, the semi-finals will be on the 15th of January at Ngee Ann (NP) Polytechnic. Our opponents, National Technological University (NTU).

To be honest, I am excited about Tuesday's matchup. The prospect of getting into the IVP Final is a match away. However, let's not get carried away and focus on the task at hand which is the semis against NTU as well as whatever we've mentioned as a team after the match against SMU. Let's reignite the spirit and desire that was shown against NUS, and fight hard but play even harder to reach the Finals.

C'mon Guys!

2008-01-10T15:29:00.000+08:00

Inter-Varsity Polytechnic Mens Floorball Championship 2007/2008

National University Singapore (NUS) vs Republic Polytechnic (RP)
8th January 2008
1945hours

The atmosphere was brilliant, a fast-paced match with plenty of end to end action. A total of 10 goals scored. Both teams were fighting for the bragging rights to see who would have the psychological advantage if the much talked about RP vs NUS Final come 18th January materializes.

In the end, both teams shared the spoils and the final score read 5-5.
I reckon everything that was expected of the match was displayed and both teams duely delivered.

A truly exhilarating match worthy of a final.

2008-01-01T04:17:00.000+08:00

I was asked if i had any resolutions for 2008. Sad to say, I haven't got any. For the fact that i know i won't be able to keep to my word.

Nonetheless, i definitely have my goals and targets for 2008 be it for myself, in sports, education, family, friends & even girlfriend. (haha) If you asked me to list them down, the list will probably go on. However just like what i learnt in Sports Psychology class, I've got to set SMARTER goals, as well as Process, Performance & Outcome Goals for me to keep track of my progress. This does not only apply in the sporting context but also the rest mentioned earlier on.

Anyhows, i have faith that 2008 would be an even better year the last. I'm already looking forward to the events that will be happening in 2008!

IVP is just 2days away, and that's the first of many goals that i have set for myself. The biggest prize and honour would most probably fall in May! Game ON!

A special shoutout to my bestfriend, closefriends and secondary school mates (i miss your nonsense guys & a girl) and not forgetting my wonderful girlfriend whom i had the honour of taking out for new year's eve cum new year's day. (:

Pictures with her when i get them, anyhows....

Happy 2008 Everyone!

2007-12-29T00:32:00.000+08:00

lalalalalalalalalalalala. i'm bored.

there's friendly between Salibandy and Innebandy tomorrow and i'm still awake. Mampos! There's still the ballkids thingy(For Maria Sharapova's match on Sunday) to go to @ Keppel Club after the match and i've gotta rush over by 2pm. Thank god for Mom! (: Wait till i get my driving license, the car's all mine! YA RIGHTTTTT... I reckon i'll head home after that and rest for Sunday as there'll be training at 5pm with a couple of friendlies.

The Road to IVP started long ago, the starting line beckons.. only 5 days away.
Boy, i'm so readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...
C'mon!

2007-12-27T00:58:00.000+08:00

Went over to Sheryl's house for her Christmas Party on Monday. Met up with Alfee, Yusoff, Hazmi & Sean to buy presents for the gift exchange as well as something for Sheryl's momsy. Headed over at around 8pm. Slacked, ate (loads of bens & jerry's), watched the chinese drama serial @ 9pm before the gift exchange took place. I got Hazmi's gift which was clearly meant for Sheryl. Mr Chatterbox & Little Miss Chatterbox, like c'mon. On the bright side, i can read before going to sleep. haha. After that was a game of bluff, which attar won.. i reckon by sheer luck!
After that, the 6 of us, meiwen, rigel, philly, attar, hazmi, myself headed to coffeeshop for supper and a long chat before heading home after that.

Apart from that little moment of stupidity from sham early tuesday morning, the day was certainly well spent with my baby girl (: We exchanged our Christmas presents, before she slept and demanded me not to bother her. Everytime i did, she'd give the grumpy face. Anyhows, we headed out to Plaza Singapura to catch I Am Legend. I must say, Will Smith should deserve plaudits for his role. It's not easy just acting all on your own and knowing that he's the only civilian alive after the outbreak. It's like, being in solitary confinement. After that we were off to Jalan Kayu for dessert before ending the night with a true loves kiss! HAHA!

Anyhows, thank you for today sham. I enjoyed myself alot. Though i'd still hope that you won't do whatever and think rashly before making a decision.

Thank you for the present, & I BET IT'LL LOOK HOT ON ME LAAAAAAA!

Merry Christmas Baby! (:

2007-12-24T19:26:00.000+08:00

HO HO HO!

its been awhile i know. Term break started a week ago and i must say a weeks' gone by pretty fast. I reckon all the trainings (tennis & floorball) and outings didn't help delay the holidays.

Anyhows, i can't really recall exactly what i did the past week. I guess it was the usual routine, trainings (tennis & floorball) & accompanying the girlfriend for her xmas shopping. We also caught Alvin & the Chipmunks and National Treasure : Book of Secrets. As we fast approach the start of 2008, It'll be a busy period from January - April for me and my floorball mates. IVP's a week away, with Division 1 (league) commencing the week after. If we do well & i'm sure we will, AFO beckons and maybe even Finland late on in the year! However, i definitely cannot neglect tennis right, intensive training will begin once coach returns from USA in preparation for POL-ITE 2008/2009 which tentatively begins in July. My last chance as a member of Tennis IG as well as the honour of Captain to capture Gold for RP.

Tomorrow's floorball training was brought forward to today, and @ 9am for goodness sake! nonetheless, it was pretty awesome playing with the APAC boys. It was sort of a sneak peak to how Division 1 would be like.

Tomorrow's Christmas and most would be spending it with their loved ones. Well, not me. For the fact that she wanted so much to spend Xmas with me but yet she isn't going to. Have you felt being ditched when the ocassion does not mean much to you or of any significance until someone shows you the joy of it. Nonetheless, you got the Xmas you wanted or rather.. chose, so you ought to be happy about it.

Anyhows, a Merry Christmas to everyone! (:

Friendster Horoscope for the day, 20th November 2007

The Bottom Line
Avoid arguments -- and if you run into conflict, try to make peace with everyone.

In Detail
Your urge to protect someone is getting stronger today, when you witness an unacceptable exchange. Be careful how you approach the situation, and try not to let your emotions get the better of you. A well-placed word at the right time will mean more than anything. If you run head first into conflict and try to make peace with everyone, you will only end up being frustrated. Respect other people's arguments, and take note of the behavior of the individuals.

MAMPOS!

2007-11-18T21:51:00.000+08:00

have you ever;

- went back to the place where it all started
- eat the food that the she likes when you miss her
- visit the places/shops she goes/likes to frequent
- wondered what the she was doing at that present moment
- looked through (the many) pictures of you and her
- thought about the sweet nothings shewhispered into your ear
- wondered if you're asking for too much
- wondered what you're doing now is actually enough

i can go on, but i rather not.

in truth, i did everything mentioned above and a couple more. It is particularly difficult when you seem to ask for more, but she's already doing all she can.

memories of your devotion,
sigh, i miss you...

& so i was too lazy to blog about the happenings during my 19th, but here i am now. as they say, better late than never. : )

To begin with, i want to say a big thank you to everyone for the wishes, the birthday cakes!
i think i have wacky & insanely fun classmates. they sang happy birthday 19 times at random intervals during class, and to my surprise they even bought me a cake.

Not forgetting, my bros, my former classmates & friends from SHL, thanks for throwing me into the handicap toilet twice and getting me soaking wet. lucky for me, i brought extra clothes! NYEHEHE.

Last but not least, my girlfriend for constantly lying to me for a week and doing so even on my birthday! however it turned to out to be awesome! thank you sham! : )

hola!

I made it through a draining and tiring week without skipping school!

Anyhows POL-ITE Floorball commenced on monday and we started off with a match against supposedly hot favourites ITE, followed by a match against TP and to round off the week was a match against NYP.

Results are as follows:

RP - ITE

(5-3)

RP-TP

(6-1)

RP - NYP

(5-3)

There's two more matches to go, and we and i cannot rest on our laurels because we've not arrived at our final destination, and that's to be 'POL-ITE Games Floorball Champions'
Come Monday and Wednesday...

it's our time, RP SALSAZ time to shine!

2007-10-13T20:17:00.000+08:00

POL-ITE isn't the time to be polite.

Come Monday, it's every school for themselves as we (RP) fight to come out as champions of the 2007 POL-ITE Floorball Championships. The mood in the team is high, and we're oozing in confidence, so now what's left is to let our sticks do the talking.

so,

YOU GOT GAME?

'Weak men wait for opportunities, Strong men make them'

Hello! i've not been blogging for many reasons or rather have many excuses for not blogging. anyways, my laptop got ran over by a car -.- Currently i'm using the school's tablet PC that i loaned from the IT helpdesk. My classmates are fun though we're quite pissed with the grading of certain facilitators!

& karmun i've got the pictures with me just that i'm too lazy to upload them. hurhur!

anyhows, if im selected for the team, POL-ITE floorball is next monday.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

i just dont know what to do right now :s
well then again, i was the one who brought it upon myself.

2007-09-10T23:42:00.000+08:00

hello hello!

i miss my parents, i miss bed, i miss the teevee, i miss the cyber world & most definitely i miss my girlfriend! nyehehehe!

okay lah, pictures when i get them.

cheerios!

2007-09-05T12:50:00.000+08:00

it sucks when i get the feeling that i've lost everything. all hopes, dreams, whatsoever are dashed, and all you have left are just memories of it.

enough said,

ciao

Anything that doesnt kill me, makes me stronger!

Overall, training was awesome though it rained out after quite sometime. Today we did strength and conditioning plus sprints. 200PushUps & 160crunches to be exact. We'll be doing our transformers pushups this coming friday!

Anyways been hitting pretty solid the past few weeks. With the right game and frame of mind, the results will show!

It's the same routine all over again on friday.
10am-1plus : PT, running, & light court training
2pm-4plus : Suntec City
5plus-night time : TennisTennisTennis!

Aside from tennis,

the heart can only take that much, sigh~
It's gonna be a lonely day later on.

):

enough said, goodnight!

2007-08-25T01:33:00.000+08:00

i love you <3

no words can describe how much i love this girl.
<3

2007-08-13T22:59:00.000+08:00

mampos i got disconnected from internet and the early post wasn't saved. so much for 'blogger now automatically saves your post' ngghh!

anyhows, skipped school with sham to spend some time tgt since she misses me! haha. Afterwards i sent that stubborn girl for her floorball training and i headed to the tennis courts to see the intermediate and several team players training. I must say, i'm pretty impressed with how much Joel, Dennis, Ari & Sherman have improved. Their on court movement is improving, they're hitting the ball with much more pace and looking more confident with their shots. I'm a happy captain!

Anyways, its been like 3 weeks since i last played tennis and yes, i miss it :(
BUT fret not, training resumes tomorrow! i miss playing the sport i love and good at especially after a couple of weeks of division 3. Therefore it's time to start afresh and prepare for a new year especially with a new team, early preparation is key! RP Vamos!

Dad came to fetch me after work and we had a pretty decent and funny conversation on the way back home. We talked about why i played tennis and not soccer, girls & relationships (& how hot i am) hurhur, about family, the different careers that is out there for me with the rapport and connections i have in the tennis circuit and not forgetting how dad likes to talk about him being a ladies man before he finally found mom (: haha. & i love you both alot lah!

okay i'm missing that stubborn girl already. faster come back lah uh :(

2007-07-29T23:22:00.000+08:00

on sat went out for dinner with sham, she brought me to mad jack at jalan kayu for dinner. YUM! good food, good company, thanks baby!

& so POL-ITE season for tennis is done and dusted. despite grinding a victory over eventual champions ngee ann, we finished 3rd overall after a countback. many, in fact all of us are bitter about how the placings were decided but that's sports, you win some, you lose some.

i'm still bitter about the fact that we did TP a huge favour by beating NP and needed TP to win NP and we'll retain 2nd place for two years running, but sadly that wasn't the case. sigh!
nonetheless i'm very proud of the input but not the output. 3rd place does not reflect our efforts and fighting spirit that we've displayed. anyways, i would like to thank my team for their commitment , hardwork and sacrifice.

and i'll definitely be honoured to lead you all again for next year's POL-ITE Games!

had division 3 match against east view today. scored 2 goals inside 1 minute of play! how awesome is that! :D hurhur. anyhows i'm dead beat after today. had dinner with sham, sent her home, i went home, ate AGAIN, showered, slack... oh well you know the drill :)

2007-07-21T01:37:00.000+08:00

2nd week of POL-ITE games 07/08 has just concluded. It was a successful week for TEAM RP, especially yesterday, friday, the 20th July 2007.

We came, We battled, We conquered against NP, both (M) & (F) teams came out 3-2 winners. there were a total of 4 deciding ties, 1 ladies singles and 3 mens singles.

On the mens side, both doubles lost with a 2-9, 7-9 favour to NP. It was all up to, like how we like to call it 'the 3 singles' , ernest, wenhao and myself to clinch the tie for RP. Lineup was, myself playing first, followed by wenhao and ernest playing last. The three of us, won with a 9-4, 9-5, 9-5 scoreline respectively. It was certainly a moral boosting victory going into the match against SP next week.

The girls did not let history repeat itself after going 2-0 up from both doubles and Ms Jaimie Toi clinched the deciding tie with a 9-7 victory over 'batman' (laughs). TEAM RP was certainly in full force cheering her on to win!

The atmosphere and fighting spirit showed by us today was a bliss to watch and experience. Though some lost their matches, the effort and determination that was displayed from everyone, certainly deserved an A grade, even to those who weren't playing as they did their share by supporting and encouraging!

To end this post, i would like to applaud my team on the fantastic display of tennis, fighting spirit and encouragement on and off court, as without each and everyone of us, be it playing or supporting, we wouldn't have made it through today! and it's something i myself as captain am very happy and proud of, to see the team come together as one, with one common goal, and that is to fight and win!

i love you guys and girls!

RP VAMOS!

2007-07-15T20:59:00.000+08:00

RP won 10-2 against SGS Bulldogs today.

scored a goal and assisted one for today's match. however was pretty disgusted with the way i played during the first period. i was practically lost and out of position, like lost in translation la.
HURHUR.

anyhows, it has been an exhausting week for me, with pol-ite and division 3.
we're 1 for 2 in this year's pol-ite. we were quite unlucky with the lineup against TP, or rather this time around we submitted the wrong lineup. no point brooding though. next match is on wednesday and its against NYP.

gonna head the sack soon, so just say...
goodnight and go!

2007-07-14T16:07:00.000+08:00

When Aries and Scorpio come together in a love affair, it can be the kind of relationship where they both wonder how they ever managed apart. Both Signs love power and they can achieve just about anything -- as long as they learn to share the spotlight. Scorpio is very focused; once they set their sights on Aries, Aries is most likely powerless to resist! Scorpio has a deeper and more complex devotion to this relationship than does Aries.

These two Signs tend to engage in heavy, heated arguments. Their connection is highly passionate and often argumentative, because both partners have jealous tendencies. Scorpio tends to be more patient, but is also more possessive than Aries -- and can lash out (with that Scorpion sting!) when their feelings get hurt. Despite their differences in emotional involvement, both partners love risk and taking chances; this is not a boring relationship! Aries and Scorpio can have lots of adventures together. They may have trouble understanding one another -- Aries is a true extrovert, totally up-front and open, while Scorpio is more inward, emotional and, at times, manipulative. Sometimes a truce is necessary to keep things running smoothly!

Aries and Scorpio are both ruled by the Planet Mars (Passion), and Scorpio is also ruled by Pluto (Power). When two people with Mars's energy come together, it's like two soldiers on a battlefield -- they're either allies or deadly enemies. Mars also represents passion, so Aries and Scorpio tend to have an exciting time together (both in the bedroom and out of it!). Arguments are normal in such a challenge-oriented couple -- and making up is definitely something to look forward to! Pluto adds extra intensity to this dynamic.

Aries is a Fire Sign and Scorpio is a Water Sign. These two elements can be a great combination if they work together, combining emotion and physical action to get things done. Scorpio is a strategist, and can help Aries slow down and learn how to plan battles before jumping into them. Aries teaches Scorpio to let go and move on when their efforts are thwarted. However, Water can also put out a Fire, and Scorpio's tendency toward emotional manipulation has that effect on Aries -- it's too much Water dampening Aries's enthusiasm. Conversely, too much Fire makes Water evaporate away; when under emotional stress, Scorpio can become vindictive. It's essential for Aries and Scorpio to work together, not against one another.

Aries is a Cardinal Sign and Scorpio is a Fixed Sign. Aries can teach Scorpio about spontaneity -- doing things just for the experience, rather than always having an agenda in mind. Scorpio can help teach Aries to stabilize and finish things rather than always jumping into new projects without completing what's already on the table. When they can understand that they're both loyal and devoted to one another, they can both be the boss -- Aries as the initiator and Scorpio as the emotional leader.

What's the best aspect of the Aries-Scorpio relationship? The power of their combined forces. They're both winners and they won't give up, making theirs a relationship that never settles for second best.

i got bored while waiting for sham to decide where to go, so i was surfing the net and i came across this. the irony, that this is so true.

sham you better not be laughing ah! hahaha :D

2007-07-09T15:48:00.000+08:00

SFL - Division 3 started on Sunday.

First match was against Ping Yi Mrymidons at our home ground, RP's Multi Purpose Hall.

We got off to a good start and came out 11-3 winners. i was quite shocked to be playing in line 1 and also in several of the situations for the fact that i only attend trainings once a week. i even surprised myself by scoring a goal! anyhows, i was quite happy with the way i played and hopefully the 'rich vein in form' will come naturally.
When i scored the goal, i quietly smiled to myself as i was mobbed by my teammates. maybe i'll consider continuing playing and fighting for a POL-ITE place as the tennis season would already be over by then.

i was also surprised that sham and phillicia came to watch the match. thanks ladies! :D
& philly you should consider 'ERNIE LEH' hahaha!

anyhows, POL-ITE for tennis starts this wednesday and it's against TP. everytime i think of it, flashbacks of last year play in my head. For instance just now when i was otw there, how ironic was Mr Brightside playing in my ipod and i started to feel the adrenalin rush. It is only, 48 hours before the season gets underway.

can you hear destiny calling you, because i can.

2007-07-02T15:13:00.000+08:00

the past week wasn't good for me.

though got to the semis of advanced, i played quite badly, lost the timing on my forehand, lacked that instrinsic motivation, however on the bright side, grades for Week 8 of school were awesome.

i really felt distant from you for the past week. it was as though we were strangers and never knew each other existed. there wasn't the chemistry that usually surrounds us. nonetheless, i'm glad we talked things through and i do apologise for the misunderstanding.

BUT all is good now!

with a week to go till POL-ITE 07/08, Ahmad Kamil is back yo!

i reckon by 11th July, my team and i will be ready for our first match, that is against TP.
it will be a homecoming for me, though i intend to spoil the partayy AGAIN! c'mon!

& it seems like forever, but it felt good to be in her arms. somehow, everything just fell right back into place.

2007-06-13T17:29:00.000+08:00

Such a joy to have friends like them, cheers mate!

2007-06-12T23:04:00.000+08:00

&& so she's gone to Australia for a week. definitely gonna miss her being a constant irritant <3

2007-06-09T04:25:00.000+08:00

Cause there was nothing in there but you

Hold me close, cause I need you to guide me to safety

All this fear falls away, you leave me naked

In the confusion, and the aftermath

You are my signal fire

The only resolution and the only joy

Is the faint of spark forgiveness in your eyes

i miss you so.

2007-06-09T04:11:00.000+08:00

hello there virtual world (:

Danial (:Diana (:

my cousins from m'sia came down for the vesak day weekend last week since it was their school holidays as well (: danial's already taller than me but a good few centimetres and diana's prettier by the day.

we wer slated to go sentosa at around 5plus therefore to kill time, i brought diana out to vivo for shopping since she was bored at home. she's her usual self la, asking me questions pertaining to my love life. gosh, sucha a busy body!

anyhows, her family came to meet us at vivo including mom and we wanted to catch the show at the musical fountain but both shows were full house therefore we settled for underwater world. brings so much childhood memories where mom and dad would usually take me there and scare me off with the sharks.

after that it was dinner at maks and a little french open over at my place before they went back to grams house (:

2007-05-20T20:40:00.000+08:00

triple expresso was at my house watching the FA CUP Final between Man U and Chelsea. Other than the extra time goal by Drogba the match was pretty boring, and we spent the time, talking with my dad and eating pizza.

the rest of the night was spent talking boys stuff like chicks, sports, glory, ambitions etc.

anyhows, philly if you're reading this, you're not forgotten okay, so please don't be emotional ah, just need to spend more time, and be the nonsense philly that i know so well. miss you my friend.

& yes iyliee, hopefully we nail it man! (:

& there you go, my spastic friend and work partner (:

oh yah, having some doubles rumble this friday with the RP staff. i reckon it's gonna be fun (:

2007-05-12T22:28:00.000+08:00

& my condolences goes to Isz Sazli's family.

although i'm not close to him, we were in the same sch.
one awesome bloke.

may his soul rest in peace. amin.

2007-05-12T19:34:00.000+08:00

hello people!

yes it has been awhile since i've visited the blogging world.

was pretty lazy to update the events that have been happening in my life.

anyhows, glitz 2007 was last night, and kudos to my brother, HAZMI BIN HASAN for winning the Sportsman of the Year Title. You deserve it mate (:

Seeing my bro win has given me more fire and passion to train even harder and lead the team to glory this year. you can say it's jealousy but to me it isn't because i believe there's always someone else better than me. you might feel that you're at your ultimate high but don't rest on your laurels.

enough said about 06/07, new season, same goals and it's all about the 'W'

mom's off to melbourne for 3 weeks. hopefully she'll have time to visit smith's street.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM,
P.S I LOVE YOU (:

2007-04-06T22:33:00.000+08:00

killing the boredom. and credits to 'that cd shop'
they have hot staff too (:

MY ROYAL FLUSH BABY!

Q-ed for donuts for 2 consecutive days and thankfully luck was on our side for the past 2 days. we managed to get out donuts despite the fact being told that ' you're Q-ing at your own risk '
heavenly orgasmic donuts! YUM!

if you look closely at the second collage, you can see cards. that's rightt, we played cards and had the best time conversing while we waited 4hrs30min for out turn. everyone was practically looking as we played dai dee and bluff. btw those ROYAL FLUSH of spades belonged to me, and you could see the 'sian' look on sham, dennis and ernest as i played that card out of my hand. the expression says it all (: well not for dennis because he's just too gay! HAHA.

anyhows, the balls of my feet are aching so bad, lucky for me there's no competition tomorrow. mine's on a monday! CMON! time to kick ass!

till next time, 3 cheers for the weekend! (:

ciao bella

2007-04-01T20:39:00.000+08:00

MY TOPMODEL FRIEND: Longsheng aka Pihu

just one of the 12 RP 'spartans' that is in our squad. well one of them is a persian in disguise!

attended the briefing for the Freshman Orientation Camp a couple of days back, and i must say it's going to be a blast come the 11th 12th and 13th of april for all those freshies. too bad they didnt had this when i first came to RP in 2006. what a bummer.

anyhows, school is starting soon, E25G is the class. i know quite a number of my new classmates though, so i guess there won't be a problem settling in. school in two weeks, time to get ready! (:

2007-03-13T21:51:00.000+08:00

alrights, i got this from somewhere actually.

Guys:Put your hands around her waist
firmly
girls: lay your headback on his
shoulder and put your arms on his.

Guys:whisper in her ear
Girls: giggle

Girls:whenever he tries to kiss you,
don't just let him, kiss him
back. ........

Girls: When you want to cuddle with
him, tell him you're cold
Guys: automatically move closer to
her. (if your stupid then you'll
either say "me too" or you'll give her
your jacket... don't)

Girls: During a movie, if he puts his
arm around you, tilt your head on his
shoulder
Guys: lift her chin up and kiss her.

Guys: When she tells you she loves
you, look deep into her eyes, give her
a peck on the lips, and tell her you
love her too... and mean it.

Girls:When you're both laying under
the stars, put yourhead on his chest
and close your eyes as you listen to
his steady heart beat
Guys: whisper in her ear and link your
hands with hers.

2007-03-11T13:18:00.000+08:00

for those whom have not watched 300, please get your butts of the computer chair and head down to the cinema NOW!

king leonidas and his 300 brave spartans fought to protect sparta despite not receiving blessings from the oracle, a young teenage girl. & oh boy, was the queen hot or what? huhu. anyhows shan't spoil the fun for those whom have not caught it, just PREPARE FOR GLORY!

lalala.

2007-03-04T02:00:00.000+08:00

so yeah, it was Liverpool vs Manchester united at Anfield. everyone anticipated a fiery clash from start to finish. Liverpool dominated 3/4 of the match but were sunked when O'shea pops right of nowhere to stab in the loose ball. Being a scoucer myself, it was a knockout punch when the goal was scored. you could hear the instance silence surrounding anfield. you could hear the ball whistle in the back of the net. Even more insulting was, the goal was scored right in front of the kop. liverpool were definitely the more dominant side, but as usual, you need to score goals to win matches.

anyhows a red through and through however i dispise you red devil fans out there. all the talk about the title being won at anfield, the match that will be 'the-title-decider'. fellas, there's 9 games left to play with chelsea having a couple in hand. it ain't over till it's over, so don't rest on your laurels just yet.

but i can't escape from reality just yet, as the papers will have headlines insulting all the liverpool fans out there, just like the one on soccernet, ' O'SHEA STUNS ANFIELD' whatever mofo.

2007-03-03T19:01:00.000+08:00

good day everyone,

Attended the STEP UP seminar at SMU today for young leaders and captains alike. it was definitely an honoured standing in the same room with two of the fastest men in Singapore, Uk Shyam and Mr Kunalan. i also got to hear first hand, the real story behind all the saga a few years back.

met chin, my strength and conditioning coach during my days as a junior. i was glad i could still do some of the exercises and drills he showed us (:

I'm definitely imparting this to the team on Tuesday. i believe with this training regime, it will only push the rest of the team to do well. For tennis, it's emphasis is physical as the technical aspects is well taken off, but with the mental toughness to endure such trainings, one will not reach their maximum potential.

anyhows!

useful information for the ladies out there, (:

15 reasons why you should date a tennis player.

1. Even when they're not scoring,they're in Love
2. They do it on more than one surface

6. They do it with 2 or 4 people
7. They've got endurance to last 3hours or longer
8. They wear big airy clothes for easy play
9. They know how to stroke it
10. They do it for unlimited minutes in many different positions
11. They like to be on top of their game
12. They enjoy getting hot and sweaty
13. They work the balls really well
14. They know how to take it up the middle
15. They play the court until they score

2007-02-28T13:33:00.000+08:00

played tennis at st wilfred's today with the uncles and abangs of MSA. i would like to thank Aslam for giving me a ride home, if not for him i would be drenched in the rain.

a need for new goals and purpose during this holidays. i guess i better get started on my PP before i procastinate even further.

very dull i know, anyhow till next time. toodles. (:

2007-02-24T02:40:00.000+08:00

this post is gonna be really short and simple;

Firstly!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM. (:

many you have many more years of happiness, wealth and most importantly good health (:
love you <3

anyhows a week into school holidays, it has been like DOTA DOTA DOTA, other than that it's trainings and time out with the buddies. there's a seconday school reunion on monday, hopefully it doesn't get cancelled or something because it's been a while since i last saw you guys.

anyways, day out with mom later, not forgetting dad, since he is going to foot the bill. HAHAHA! (:

CHEERIOS.

2007-02-14T02:01:00.000+08:00

so many people calling for updates, so much time to pen them down but just plain lazy.

anyhows, school ended on monday which also marks the end of year 1. didnt miss W15A as much compared to my last semester's class nonetheless it was fun. one thing i will miss though will be the dota sessions during lesson time. but for everything good there's something better, HAMACHI!

training was awesome considering the fact that im black/dark again, all thanks to Mr Sun.

you have things you wanna say but you've no one to turn to, or perhaps the whatever you wanna say might come as a shocker. i know keeping everything inside isn't the best solution out, but i'm so used to doing this, it feels like i'm flipping a page or pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL. however this is different, it's bottled up in my head for the pass two days. if only i could draw them out and put them somewhere, but then again, i suck at drawing. not too worry, i'll be fine.

so many IFs BUTs and whatnots, tennis today brought me away from reality, how blissful. but once it was over, reality slapped me in the face. however, as the day progressed, i felt better but knowing that she's not, it's a little uneasy.

2007-01-16T22:34:00.000+08:00

allez!

stinging forehand, pounding backhand. burning weather, sizzling strokes!
todays' tennis was awesome. nevermind the weather which sucked at first and piping hot the next.

i felt the technical aspects were there, however there's still much more to be done on the fitness side. let's hope with the new committee in place, we all can come out with a stuctured plan to prepare ourselves for this year's POL-ITE games.

2007-01-15T23:15:00.000+08:00

Good day!

the year's first grand slam has gotten under way, Australian Open 2007.

expected wins for roger federer, amelie mauresmo, andy roddick, novak djokovic. however men's 4th seed ivan ljubicic has crashed out losing to mardy 'ankle socks' fish in four sets.
the players towel is kinda cool, looks like kuih lapis.

training tmrw. looking forward to it, especially after staying home the whole day catching live day 1 action. this time last year, i would be in melbourne park, catching all the action within a few centimetres away, mingling with the ballkids, and enjoying the melbourne weather. this time around, i'll definitely be glued to my television set catching all the live action.
i would have gone if school had said, ok go. i shall try my luck next year though.

have a blast my fellow 'A team' from 2006!

cheers

2007-01-08T22:15:00.000+08:00

okay i know some of you have caught blood diamond, and yes i have to agree its a fucking nice movie, definitely worth paying for. it's pretty much like hotel rwanda.

i must say, leonardo dicaprio play his role really well. love the accent mate. djimon hounsou at his best, love the 'i'm just a camera man' scene. anyhows, it was a really touching movie especially the scene when the kids were made to hold AK-47s and go to war with the belief they will rule the nation and end the suffering of their people. And the part where, the guy was blind folded and ask to hold an AK-47 and shoot a civilian was certainly a scary sight. the look on his faced as he took of the blindfold was priceless.

anyways, blood diamond was my first movie in ages, considering the fact that i get my movies from friends in school.

WTF, it's pouring on a tuesday, therefore possibilities of training being cancelled are high. -.-

i should have turned back
i should have known better
than to walk away defeated
i'll say it tonight, i'll say it forever
and this time i swear i really mean it

2007-01-07T21:48:00.000+08:00

hello everyone.

today i,

1)stayed home
2)ordered take out
3)watched a couple of movies on star movies & HBO
4)spent the rest of the afternoon searching for a new layout.

had the intention of going out with mom, but couldn't have the heart to leave grandma alone at home therefore we decided to stay home. i reckon this is the 124235634 consecutive week im staying at home during a weekend. jeez. in a way it's good, because i don't spend unnecessarily.

this week's the 12th week of school, another 4 weeks and it will be the end of YEAR 1. however let's not rush things, and enjoy what's left of it.

Australian Open 2007 begins in a weeks time, and how i wish i could have been there again this year. lets hope no parrot sends me a postcard bearing the title 'wished you were here'

nothing fancy about this post, but 2006 has gone by like a flash.

many things happened during the past year, from having the privilege of being in Melbourne for the second time in three years for the Australian Open, to ending my career in the junior scene, meeting a bunch of new people in school, having bitter sweet memories, helping the school clinch silver in the inter varsity games and many more to mention but so little time.

just like an other year, 2006 will be safely kept in the books for that point of time where you reminiscent-about-the past.

bring in 2007, like most would agree, we have to start the new year with a bang. however, not forgetting the resolutions each and everyone of us has drawn up but to hell with mindless resolutions as they can only get you nowhere. so for those whom have not decided what your NY resolution is, be sure it's one you stay true to it for 365 days of 2007.

Selamat Hari Raya Haji & Happy New Year.

before the last term of semester 2 starts, i need to get a new mouse. The one that came with the laptop when i bought it in april has gone kaputs.

& a very irritating pop up keeps on appearing telling me that 'USB is not recognized' i hope the mouse is the problem and not the USB port. As you can recall, i spilled two-thirds of a large ice tea by accident sometime back.

anyhows, holidays are coming to an end. I'm actually sitting on the fence between wanting school to reopen and the holidays to be longer. Oh well, 4 weeks of school and then it's 10 weeks of holiday, i reckon that's not too bad at all.

and yes, lastly i pray for better weather so that i can go out and play. No trainings for the past week. Although i've been doing strength and conditioning, i still feel the need to whack some balls.

2006-12-17T21:39:00.000+08:00

hello readers,

it has been quite sometime since i last posted. perhaps there was nothing interesting that happened over the past few weeks that need to be published.

anyways, been doing surfing the net for the past couple of days and there are really quite a number of interesting movies coming up in 2007. Spiderman 3, Transformers, Rocky Balboa, The Pursuit of Happiness.

and here's the trailer to Spiderman 3.

hello my friends,

finally liverpool recorded their first away win of the season with an emphatic 4-0 victory over wigan at the JJB stadium. hats of to liverpool for finally getting it right away from anfield for the first time this season.

& russia lead 2-1 over argentina in the davis cup with the reverse singles to be played tomorrow.

anyways enough of the sports update.

another 2 days of school and it will be the end of term 1 for semester 2. i must say, 11 weeks have gone by pretty fast compared to last semester. i've also become more of a devil this semester skipping school 4 times, because of pure laziness and boredom.

as far as my grades are concerned, it's pretty average considering the 3.7 i am aiming for this semester. I need to buck up on my remaining UTs to help pull up my predicted grades and i'm especially worried for science.. oh wells.

i went for floorball training after much presuation from fit. to start off, i did their routine of running rounds around the school. Practically ran, 3 rounds and one 2.4km route and that amounts to 8km. had court training afterwards and cramped started to set in. perhaps it was due to all that running. i reckon it was ages since i last ran that much of a distance. however i shan't shun the blame on that, but only towards myself for being lazy.

from what i see, floorball has that commaraderie and bonding that i miss, that's something that is lacking in tennis right now.

i feel like a bodybag, it's time to sleep.

cheers.

OR www.myrp.edu.sg

starting from tomorrow we'll have a new training schedule there trainings will be on tuesdays ALONE, fridays being days conducted by our captain and assisted longsheng, ernest and myself. This means, lesser court times, and more towards physical and conditioning.

& floorball is addictive. hmm.

cheerios.

2006-11-17T15:49:00.000+08:00

hello everyone,

Yesterday RP had it's very first Ultimate Republic Challenge.
50 teams,
5 champions and
1 ULTIMATE CHAMPION.

My team, Tennis Zai^4 consisted of Ernest, Longsheng , Edmund and myself.

The objective was to complete 23 stations in the fastest time, or most number of made attempts in 2 hours. It was actually to familarize ourselves with the newly built sports complex. The stations were basically those of the sporting IGs, from basketball, netball, soccer, floorball, tennis and to astronomy, canoeing, and so on.

With the adrenaline pumping everyone was all geared up in their sporting attire and the Ultimate Republic Challenge shirt. The horn sounded at 5.50pm to signal the start, it was a dash to the sports complex.

By 7.50pm the horn sounded again to signal the end of the challenge. I reckon the best station was floorball whereby mark seow commended on my shooting. muahahaha. We completed all but one station which we totally forgot and that was biking.

There were anxious faces as everyone gathered at the viewing gallery for the results to be tabulated and announced. The organisers mentioned it was going to be a half an hour wait but it turned out to be double that. However, to keep the voices and spirits up, there was entertainment on show for us. Sheikh sang a tune and flexed his muscles, there was a swim off whereby the dragonboat guy with all his muscles and cutting lost to a girl in the pool.

The moment finally arrived as the results were tabulated and finalized. Tennis Zai^4 came out champions of group D. It was totally unexpected. However, more soon followed as we were announced the ULTIMATE REPUBLIC CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS!! nyehehehe!
Wide smiles were plastered on our faces as we collected our medals and the champion trophy.

and like what ernest would say, ' tennis strikes gold, yet again'. sweettttttttt!

C'MON!

Good Day Everyone,

Although this happened earlier on in the week, i'm gonna post it only today due to the fact that i wasn't able to find the time during the weekday to do it. Anyhows, thanks to NP winning 3-2 over TP on wednesday, we are officially 2nd for this year's pol-ite games however the girls narrowly missed out on 3rd. The prize presentation is at 8pm tomorrow and hopefully the person i asked, could make it. (:

Anyways, the last week i skipped school twice because i was feeling really tired and lazy and also i dont really like my culture facilitator. Anyways, i promise i won't skip any lessons this week.

Just to add, it was nice seeing everyone again yesterday during the raya outing, although it was a little late. That was the only day everyone could make it. after all that, went sheesha for the first time.

liverpool versus arsenal at 12am. guess i'll only have about 4hours of sleep tonight.

2006-11-07T23:41:00.000+08:00

First and foremost i would like to say, thank god pol-ite games are over thus virtually our season too. After two weeks of competition and months of preparation we finally have our well deserved break.

Tomorrow's match between TP and NP will decide our fate as to where we will finish in the standings. OR in a more 'show off ' way, what type of medal are we getting. It's either a silver or bronze. As much as i love TP, i pray that NP comes out victorious against TP thus taking GOLD, followed by us capturing SILVER and TP settling for the bronze.

We will all be there, decked in our casual smart attire to watch the intriguing tie and not forgetting spotting any chicks that might be there to support their respective schools.

& today the TEAM tried a different sport, netball. Based on experience from playing in secondary school, netball was pretty easy as the rules were taken lightly. but NO, not today, i reckon we committed 1243354367 fouls in the whole match. Netball's a bitch when the rules come into play thus the saying rules are meant to be broken.

For now, till the pre-season training starts, i'm going to catch up with some friends for Hari Raya and perhaps catch a movie with the TEAM if any outing materializes.

So till when pre-season starts, it is back to training hard, whacking those balls , staying committed and aiming high..... because whut?

RP (tennis) zai zai ZAI!

2006-11-04T01:30:00.000+08:00

hello everyone!

A week has passed. A week dedicated to trainings and pol-ite games. In truth it has been a tiring week due to the fact that we had to play 4 matches in a week, considering last saturday's match against TP. We had NYP monday, ITE on wednesday and NP which just concluded a few hours ago. So far, we're up 3 -1, the only lost being inflicted at the hands of NP. We have SP to play against on monday.

not forgetting thanks to everyone who wished me on the 2th of this month. it was much appreciated. ((:

I had the weekend to recuperate and i'm certainly going to make full use of it. As we all know, monday is the big day. A win would assure us of 2nd. However, winning is not something i am thinking about right now, it is enjoying the tennis and playing to my very best. I'm certainly going to give it my all on monday before the season comes to a closure.

cmon guys lets give it our all after sacrificing the time and effort during trainings. It all comes down to monday!

FOR HE WHO SACRIFICES NOW, WILL SUCCEED LATER!

RP zai zai ZAI!

2006-10-28T20:54:00.000+08:00

C'MON!

First day, first tie of the pol-ite games for TEAM RP. & yes guys, we did it. we caused an upset over the almighty TP but sadly the girls team came up just a little too short.

The scorelines were similar though, 3-2 for the guys, 2-3 to the girls. exceptionally doubles play by both the doubles pair and how unfortunate, the lineup for the girls singles didn't go our way. nonetheless good effort girls!

On the other hand for the guys team, we got off to a good start with leo tan and zach winning their match 9-2 but sadly for kai and josh they lost their doubles. As for the singles, ernest lost however, oh wen hao, that's right came through his match against glennniah 9-6 and it was all up to me. The deciding singles. & yes C'MON! i clinched it for the team with a score of 9-4. ZAI!

awesome TEAM effort from the guys & girls.
thanks for your support TEAM. ZAI !

& what a great start for myself as well as TEAM RP! hopefully, we'll go from strength to strength! next up NYP.

i guessed i really came back to haunt them.

hello everyone.

Firstly Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir dan Batin. I sincerely apologise for my actions and any harsh words said during the past year. Hopefully everyone is enjoying their sambal gorengs, rendang, ketupats and whatnots as much as i am.

& not forgetting the green packets as well.

As i'm typing this post, the girl which i will always see at my neneks house on the first day of hari raya is such a joy to look at. & the best part is, she's in the living room. Yes, an eye candy. I asked mom how are we related and she goes on blabbering, nonetheless we're are somehow related.

the conversation went like this :

me: ma, who was at our house just now? wak pat's sons right?

mom: yes boy.

me: and how are we related again?

mom: wak pat's my aunty, therefore her sons are my cousins.

me: so how am i related to their daughters and sons?

mom: *ponders* i don't know, but you're somehow related lahhhh.

& i tell you, the girl is adorable. Did i tell you, her dad asked me to visit their house this year. hehehe, perhaps i will, since i didn't do so the last raya. (:

upon seeing this link sent together with the email about the 11 students from SHL being in the academic roll of honours. i was ticked off, but not jealous as firstly they deserve to be there because of their hardwork. (:

this has not infuriated me, but motivated me to not be the one looking upon the honours list, but being in the list. self-discipline, perserverance and effort is key. c'mon kamil!

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violence just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars

The paper cuts the cheating lovers
The coffees never strong enough
I know you think it's more than just bad luck

There there baby it's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling don't loose your head
Cause none of us where angels and you know I love you
Yeah

Sleeping pills no sleeping dogs lie never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this, now's a better time as any

There there baby it's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling don't kill yourself
Cause none of us where angels and you know I love you
Yeah

It's ok by me, it's ok by me, it's ok by me
It was a long time ago
It's ok by me, it's ok by me, it's ok by me
It was a long time ago

There there baby it's just textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling don't loose your head
Cause none of us where angels and you know I love you
Yeah

our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate, our biggest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. - timo cruz

Giving up isn't an option. i've got to grab reality by their fucking horns and turn it into my destiny. Fuck ignorant bastards and their narrow mindedness, let them brood and lament, life is too short for us to entertain such individuals.

the busride back on my own, keep me wide awake with the upcoming events, hari raya, a day or rather a month to seek forgiveness especially from my folks, and the pol-ite games. vizualization starts tonight, preparation has already begun. the only thing that is left is for 110% of determination, sweat and effort to be burnt.

there is something in the way, you look tonight.

2006-10-07T21:29:00.000+08:00

this might come a little late but, happy mid autumn festival. knock yourselves out with those tasty mooncakes. (:

anyhows, the haze is back and just to give you guys a check on the current PSI. It's 150 as of 915pm. yes, thats right! 150. an all time high this year. jeepers creepers! even the skyscrapers that tower singapore can't be seen clearly due to the haze. it's also advisable that we stay home, hmm perhaps another stay in for us students just like the SARS in 2004.

england VS macedonia tonight.
japanese grand prix tomorrow afternoon.

perhaps staying home tomorrow isn't that bad after all.

prisonbreak 2. woohoo!

shout out goes to alex, thanks man! (:

what happened today was pretty nice. had a train ride with her down to city hall. sheer coincidence as well, as she wanted to meet her friend. shan't post what happened, but it's certainly a day that i'll remember.

i'm just dead beat today, i promise after posting this entry, it is straight to bed for me.

just right after breaking fast and praying maghirb. i fell asleep on the bed. my mom woke me up, and i thought it was already the next morning and it was time to zahur, but fortunately it was only 9pm. i breathe a sigh of relief as i looked at the clock, because i was not done with my journal. pheww.

training tomorrow, netball girls, basketball guys playing pol-ite, floorball-ers and fuck-ballers ( because of that scumbag ). the sports complex is gonna be packed with potential sportsmen and sportswomen.

anyhows, goodnight everyone (:
