Shores of the Sea

The end of days have come, its time i started studying seriously, no more play, today's the last day, no more active blogging, but when the exams past, i'll blog every second. Today, we had the teacher's day celebrations, came to school with just the 2e3 t shirt and my shorts, dunno why but felt naked, haha, that was about it, and yeah, i dunno why, but i only remember doing the beatty dance, or was that the only thing we did? Cause after that me and kenneth got out for the monitors thing. Oh yes, we passed the ball thing, at first, when we were getting ready, i was telling teck, who was in front of me that i really hoped he'd get the under pass, so i can get the overhead pass, haha, then as the ball slowly passed over, ricky, who was ahead of teck, did an underpass, haha, then teck laughed at me, cause i was gonna do the underpass ='( So yeah, we were doing it quite fast, then it ended, and me and kenneth got out.

So we got out and lined up, doing nothing, just holding the teacher's day clothes and certificates, waiting to get in to pass to the teachers, we got back soon after to watch the whole show. It was relatively boring, sorry councillors! Haha, no la, it was quite a good job, honestly if you look at it, the students organized it, it was quite ok, just the performances, looking at those same few dancing bored us, and teck told me that green clothed girl danced disgustingly, i guess she was pretty obscene, how decent of teck, haha. Then the singing performance, their guitars were barely audible, and the singing was, uhhh, so loud. I guess if we went and sang an oldie, it'd be much sweeter, hahaha, but too bad we backed out cause we were too cowardly. Then they passed a card for the 2e3 guys to sign for ms lio, or rather, mrs tay, they said she is leaving, and i was quite surprised, and was even surprised when they told me she's already married, wow... lucky guy.. So uh, also wrote a card for ms lydia, yeah, the event was quite ok.. and we won first in the whole sch for the passing ball thingy, i was telling yuan hong whenever they did the drumroll that i'd be preparing to go up, of course, i was only half-joking, and when the first prize came, i was really really really prepared, and we won! haha, but kenneth ran up first so he collected the prize, which to our disappointment turned out to be, uh, chocolate cereals? So everything ended soon after, and we got to the canteen.

We were supposed to wait for the e1s, they had their bio test, so that we could play street soccer, although we were terribly worn out after yesterday's game, but its the last day. We paid a visit to ms huang's homeroom, to find some of the guys inside too, reminiscences of the past started flooding in, the stuffy smell, the bright colours, they monkey that i painted, my handprint, our bottle cap soccer playing area, my sit. I still remember, one day when we were painting, vanga started injuring some of us out of fun, and latif burst out and kicked vanga's arse really really really hard, and they both cried, and were talked to, and that was the day vanga truely befriended me, and us. I remember the room, lots of latif's tears were shed, LATIF'S A CRYBABY!!!!!!!!!! He's a Man! Lol, i thought i saw latif crying just now in the room, and ya, so we got out after that.

Then once again, the road split into two paths, the pool path and the soccer path. And i was once again in the middle of it, its always is me, only me. Then imran told me he wanted to call off soccer cause it was raining so i was glad i could finally play pool again, after weeks. Then latif called vanga and told him i'd be going along with them to feast, lol, so i had to follow them again. But then they changed to kfc (sorry ray) So me hassan, edward, imran and latif got to kfc, waiting for vanga and stanley. Ah, when we got there, i was starving, i spent 11 whole bucks on one zinger meal, one pc chicken, large whipped potato, lol, and i slowly made my way towards a full stomach, at first hassan and edward couldn't believe i could finish it, but imran told them he's seen me finish them before, slowly and skilfully, hahaha. So anyway, i did it, and was left to the large whipped potato, but i was darn full already, but the potato can be eaten slowly, its just like desert, so i did it, and they were all amazed, see now, the prowess of the ladykiller! So yeah, vanga came along and somehow, we got to the subject of: Mr Benjamin Wong, haha.

He's a really cute guy, i really like him, ahhah. But everyone's making fun of him, we just find him really really funny, no, we like him, but he's the butt of all jokes all year round. Vanga was telling us, once he was wearing his black shirt with a bright red NCDCC letterings on the back, and Mr Wong came from behind and asked him, ''excuse me, are you from NCCDCC?'' lol, then vanga made that face, haha, he was like, looking back at his shirt and looking stunned, ''uh, yeah,'' haha, then the following week, mr wong came up to him and asked the exact same question, haha, how hilarious. For the whole period of time, i was having a hard time, my stomach was really full and i was laughing really really hard, in fact, the whole KFC was filled with our joyous laughter, we really really laughed really really hard, then they started saying, if one day he had to made an announcement, then he'd say, ''er, is this beatty?'' hahaha, we almost choked to death, then edward said he'd surely get easily cheated, if once a guy walks up to borrow 5 bucks, one hour later he'd be able to borrow again without mr wong having a clue about why his wallet is thinning. So hilarious, i remember once i was rushing down, and i saw mr wong walking in my direction, so as not to waste time, i rushed up and said to him, "i'm from 3e2 and i'm going home now," haha, then it took a while before he could digest and said, ok. haha, funny guy, i like him a lot...

Its been long since i had a good laugh, and whenever i'm with vanga, i laugh really really hard, so hard sometimes i have trouble keeping the food inside my stomach.

After that, took a train back to toa payoh and sat 238 to get to safra, and i got down and saw weng fung and his friend at the bus stop, they asked me where i was going, i said safra, then they said i was really stupid cause 238 would go one big round and end up in front of safra, i felt like a fool, but nvm, it'll take a long time, but it was raining, they told me they wanted to board 238 too, they wanted to get to safra too, haiya, safra was just across the road and they can't take out their umbrellas, they wanted to hire a cab but instead got out their umbrellas. So when i got there, i immediately sensed new blood when i saw wei zhi there, so i challenged him, i've deproved a lot, since the last time i went was like close to 1 month ago, but luckily i beat him, so i played with daniel 2 whole rounds of snooker, chalked up a total of more than 100 points for both games, although it was really really really slow, but it felt good to be back in safra playing snooker again, and when you make a good shot, sometimes when people from the neighbouring table see it, he'd tap his own table and say good shot, and one ex-beattyian did just that, he looked really old. Satisfaction....our school has produced a new breed of nerd snooker/pool players, we're gonna stage a revolution, a nerd revolution, to let the first though that come into people's minds when they hear pool or snooker to be: ''Yeee, nerd's game''

After that, i was rushing to get home cause i was late for my lessons, and when i got home i immediately rushed in to play, haiya, around one or two more lessons before my piano exams, i don't wanna die, someone help me, i can feel the pressure mounting, but i'll try to ignore it, but then again, ignoring it would make it seem like take it lightly, which might result in my failure, haiya, i dunno what to do, to panic or to relax..

That's about it, no more regular posts ='( Enjoy your studying!!!!!

Taste of Victory

Today's wednesday, wednesdays are really really bad days, till today. Wednesdays are really really long and draggy, the recess is really early but the 2nd half of the lessons last forever, and especially when you know you're gonna play another big game you can't wait for the lessons to zooooom by..

Yes, today, the long awaited e1/e2 vs e4 match... the first thing that occured to dampen the mood was the rain, the heavy rain and the thunder, every drop were like pinpricks to our hearts, we were pretty disappointed at first, but latif kept saying we were gonna play, even in the rain, so we waited, and waited. The rain did stop, during our last period, and we ran over for a look, the field was still usable, so everything was still on.

Yeah, so after school, i went to help out at the pool corner before we all got down to get changed. When we headed there, once again, lots of disappointement cause again the field was used up, and we weren't sure if we could even play, because up till now, the booking system hasn't been settled, so they were saying, how many more halves, how many more minutes, but i maintained that we had to play today if not there wouldn't be another day for us to play..

So we just played a little at the court and i tried not to run as much, then not long later, they said we were up next, so we got ready, got dressed, when everything was ready, ahhh, the sacred captain's armband was handed to me, uhhhh, sooo cool. So we got ready, and headed to the field, the field was good, a little damp, but still good for playing. Then they dragged for a little while, then after i led the warm up, we got ready to start, and then it was scissors paper stone to see who would start first, being an expert, let me share with you my secret, most people put scissors, so always put stone, and i put stone and won the ball.

So we started in a moment, darren passed to me, i passed back to the defense, peera ran all the way up, passed to darren, got entangled with the defenders, and i shouted for his pass, he managed a short pass, i burst out, and got past my marker, and shot, the shot got past the keeper and wooohoooo, goallllllllllllll. Haha, at first, i was like checking, can it be offside? haha, i didn't want my flames of happiness to be doused.... And i ran all the way from midfield so it was impossible to be offside, so i was like, yay! haha, i finally scored. The clock ran for less than half a min and we scored!! yay! Finally a striker can do what we does best, that is to score, its my first big goal, not counting all the others in normal matches, but i've never scored in an interclass before...yes, even in my primary school interclass games. Yeah, so everyone was really happy and putting a huge smile on their faces cause it seemed that their defence was like water, easily penetratable..

Then they started, and the match was pretty fast paced, the e4ers were ALL big sized, while we, on the other hand, were really small and short, the soccer players like alif, and shi xiong, and the chinese guys, all so big and powerful, but we held on, but i was very unhappy with the defence, they weren't doing their job well, particularly yun hui, he didn't do much, and we daren't tackle, so i shouted to him to just slide if he had to, but before long, they scored a goal. Then i started scolding the defence, cause, captain ma, i have authority and i really had to do some scolding if not i'd be just as good as useless..

Then darren just wouldn't stay at his position, haiya, i had to keep telling him to get back in position, they were once again wreaking havoc in our defence, particularly those few, always trying to take long shots, but they were unsuccessful, team play is much better, they asked for balls, so that they can have a shot themselves, most of their shots went wide, none coming close to scoring, but jj did make one spectacular save from their shots. Alas, our defence couldn't hold much longer, it wasn't long before they took the lead, at 2-1. By then i was really shouting at everyone, i had yet another goal scoring opportunity, but parry stepped on my foot while i was right in front of the goal, i fell, and called for foul, but the ref was TOTALLY BLIND.

Then there was another play, and latif shot, blocked, then yun hui ran up to make yet another shot, and this time, it looked destined for the net but one of them jumped up to catch the ball, so we protested, and thankfully we were given the penalty. So me and peera were deciding on who to take the penalty, i wanted to, but i was afraid i'd make the team lose, so i let peera take it...no mistakes made, goal. Equaliser. By then, the VB girls were out and cheering for us, ah hah, additional boost, time enough for one more last play, i stole the ball and sprinted all the way up up up, and when i neared the goal, saw darren open, made a really really good pass, so so so so near the goal but he MISSEDDDDDDDDDDD Noooooooooooo. The whistle blew after that, so disappointed, could have made that a goal.

By then, i was a little dead already, it was drizzling a little and i had a little headache. Shi xiong told the ref not to waste time and to start the match immediately, i didn't want that, i hadn't rested enough. I felt like getting subbed cause of the headache but we continued. And when they started, not long later, we got the ball, i dribbled like crazy, burst out, ran and ran neared the goal, hit, the ball got past the keeper and continued rolling home, but the keeper ran up and caught it again!!! ahh!! Then the ball was on the ground, many people were there, then out of the corner of my eye, i saw a small figure running up towards the goal, like a knight in SHINING armour, he ran, and he just collided against them and hit the BALL IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... By then, me and murali, i wanted to hug him, he was laughing, i was laughing, close to tears, so happy, so exhilarated, so ecstatic, emotions taking control, i was chasing murali, haha, laughing about, and just at that moment, just as if God could finally let the weather continue after relieved that we got the lead, an earth splitting thunder struck and the ref blew for the end of the match, and we were already celebrating, hahaha, we ran out laughing and jumping, we did it, the NERDS HAVE CONQUERED!! YES YES YES!!! ahaha, and murali hugged me, and i hi-tened everyone and the girls were all screaming, yes, yes jubilation took hold of all of us by storm, we did it, i did it, first match i captained, and i've ''led'' the team to first every victory, glory at last. The rain poured, when we got back to the canteen, all of our players walked past me and patted me, ''Captain! We did it!'' WAhhh weee, we've done it at last. Most of us didn't have the mood to go home, haiya, Rain at last after years of drought, would you just take it as nothing? Or celebrate all night, although we didn't celebrate all night, but yeah, we were glad, very glad. Everyone was happy.

I got changed and since it was raining really heavily, i decided not to make a move yet, although it was very dark already, 6 plus, i headed up and saw they guys still playing pool, so i just joined in more fun and more happiness. Then at around 7, i got home.

When i got home, my maid told me someone called for me, and i wondered who, people rarely look for me using the home tel, so that night i expected mystery caller to call again, and he did, it turned out to be my cat high friend, he asked me if i were going back tomorrow, i told him i had other plans, and he asked for my email, i was kinda surprised he called, i totally lost everyone's contact after pri 6, this was the first time we've spoken for 3 years. Besides, i didn't wanna go back, i don't want to be reminded of the sad past in catholic high, haiya, a school of no girls, one day they will realise how stupid they are, abolish the rule! Any institute without girls will crumble, haha, Men? You will call upon men? Men...i've seen them, i'd rather not speck about them. Okok, back to my friend, his voice sounded so broken, luckily i still have a little girliness, i think? When you have girl voices guys, appreciate and make use of it, don't ever think about wanting to break your voices, because when you guys DO break your voices, there isn't any turning back, its just that same stereotyped metal voice, clang clang, nothing special, when you speak like a girl at this age, you're a gem. At least my voice isn't abit like metal. So i was wondering what'd happen if i meet the guys again, haiya, so much have changed since i left, so much have changed.

Maybe the first thing they say when they see me is ''wah! so fair ha?'' haha, then they'd ask if i am still as interested in soccer as i did, then i'll probably say no, i'd say i've shifted to pool, then they'll think i've had bad influence or something, then they'll surely ask if i have a girlfriend, cause apparently, some of the pri sch guys i met HAVE girlfriends! Then i was totally shocked they could settle and fit in so fast, haha, i mean, i've been psychologically traumatised i don't even dare to speak to a girl now, and it isn't even the right time to have one, but i bet half of them will have girlfriends by now, and when they hear i don't they'd probably say, ''wah, so kuai ah?''


Blood was shed, bodies broken, but we rode back in victory. Enjoy the Hols!

In Dreams

When the cold of winter comes
Starless night will cover day
In the veiling of the sun
We will walk in bitter rain

But in dreams
I can hear your name
And in dreams
We will meet again

When the seas and mountains fall
And we come, to end of days
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there,
I will go there
And back again


Lotr in dreams. Its such a nice song, i've been trying to find this song for ages but i didn't even know of its existence, until huda sent me the piano score and i tried playing, it was so nice, you could even sing with it, and its really nice, i've mastered it, just a little slow at certain parts, but i have to memorize it, and i'll do just that after my piano exams, its a beautiful song i wanna put it here but there're some probs with the file hut and i can't get into my account, but i'll put it next time.

Hearing the song, the lead singer, probably a boy, singing at such a high pitch makes me think of choir and makes me feel like joining choir. Haha, i wouldn't mind actually, if latif and darren joins too, i remember singing happy birthday for ms pua in the office and she asked me to join choir, but then, haiya, none of the guys did so i didn't too, i'd really wish to join choir, but i guess i don't have to guts, especially if i have to sing in front of the school, in front of those ah bengs, they'll laugh at me, i'll only like it when we sing for civilised people who appreciate, i mean, ray's already joined choir, and its like making me consider but i guess i won't if i were to go in alone.

Today's been a great day, we played soccer for pe again, and i'm glad to say i've found my form and my strength, i guess cause latif was overconfident the other time to pick quality over LARGE quantity but yeah, we played well. And my patience with jia jun is like, thinning even second i spend with him, i understand i'm one of few guys in class who doesn't run when he arrives but still, he's starting to heat me and before long he might hit the boiling point. I dunno, he knows i have a match on wed and being a striker i really need those two legs alive and kicking and being a goalkeeper, after letting so many goals in, he decided he wanted to play up and he tackled me so darn hard 3 times on my SHIN! i was infuriated when he hit my shin 3 whole times so hardly and i had to limp across the court, its only a training session, he's supposed to be the keeper and he's going around breaking people's legs. And i guess he really wants to be in the centre of everything, i mean, every single shot he wants to take, and every single shot, he kicks it over, and even when glenda asks to kick, he insists on ''showing'' her how to, on the other hand, i'd like to shower praise on darling robelle for being such a good goalkeeper, jia jun, our opposition, let in 7 goals and robelle let in 2, and robelle certainly frustrated the other team enough to make them go crazy, i guess they didn't dare to hit it hard but robelle's certainly doing well if she wants to learn how to play. can't wait for wed's match, i guess we'll play better than the last after several amendments.

During recess i was eating with teck and ray and when jj came over to sit, teck would curse and wanna change sit, usually when jj comes over they'll all leave and leave me alone with him, what bad friends i have! But honestly, jj should learn when to keep his mouth shut and watch his behaviour, i mean really really, like c'mon, when we had a match against 2e1 during pe, he was saying ''haiya, confirm thrash them one la, they're nothing la, get lost la. " At that moment i really wished i didn't know him cause if i were the 2e1ers, i'd be pissed, i mean, show respect la. And this pe lesson i saw him throwing tiny pebbles at andy, haiya. Ray tells me he doesn't deserve any sympathy, like when he was dotted, he said wtf did this! which does make some sense amiko, mia kurso reale havi hundoj similari li....

Back to a nicer subject. Anyway, people like amanda now should look forward to free periods...haha unlike the past, where the relief teacher is that fat guy who is lifeless but then again, today, during history, we were really entertained by mr ''forgot his name''. All i can describe about him is that he has grey hair, a young face, high pants and friendly look, haha. Anyway, he came in and gave all of us a great time, he really must have been a stand up comedian or something, he's just so funny, telling us a ghost story (which i refused to listen to) and did funny impersonations of Lee Kuan Yew and Hitler, then proceeded to tell us a little about hitler and history, telling us how he used to be a director, and loads of interesting stuff, looks like the students will be looking forward to free periods now.

Yes, after school me, ray, latif and yun hui did the chem test and it was relatively easy, i could have done better if i spent more hours studying, i had 3 hours and i read for 1 hour and spent 2 hours sitting back and dreaming. Then i went to tpc with latif to buy some stuff and he gave me akvo's numbro kaj li asked mi al sciigo si. But i said no for several reasons then we continued to talk all night. La Nokto Estas Maljuna!

Enjoy your week! Adiaux Amikoj!

Japanese v2

Today was a really really really bad day. haiya, weekend's are supposed to be good times to rest but of course, because of the Jap attack, i had to wake up at 7, then i got dressed and left at around 8. Then i slipped into my slippers and my dad immediately checked if i could wear slippers to school, then i said 100% can, but then he told me to bring my shoes to standby, i was not 100% sure, so i brought my shoes too, then ray called me, then i told him to hurry cause i didn't wanna reach school alone, then while my dad was driving in, i saw ray, so i asked him to stop for him to hop in, and when he did, i wanted to say, ''dad, meet my genius friend, RAY!'' but i kept quiet, haha. So when we reached school, the guard was already inquiring us about our ''slippering'' and our too casual wear, then we said we were going on a city tour with the Japanese and we could wear anything we'd like. Then when we met mrs hao and mr ng, they were like, ''oh my goodness why you wear likethat?'' lol, then we were really dead by then, they were totally shocked we wore so sloppily, then we were like, ''uh, but then miss loo said can, we specifically asked her if we could wear slippers and she said yes." Then they were making a big fuss, then we felt really bad, haha, we were only photographers and we were giving them trouble, haha, so they waited for miss loo and she came and told us she wasn't in the right mind when we asked her, as in, she said she didn't think too much about it, so we were like,''wa lau, die liao la.'' Then they asked us to change, then i called my dad, thinking he'd give me some really really big scolding but then he was really soft and nice, haha, cause he knew something would happen and he stayed around the area, so he drove back and got me my shoes, haiya, i was pretty sad i had to change to shoes, i wanted to wear slippers, then poor ray had to run home to get changed too.

So i missed the parade part, but i could hear that hot latib shouting, ooo, he's delicious. And so yeah, by the time ray arrived, the parade was over and we continued to take our pics, and so we split into groups and followed them around doing their boring stuff, haiya, my heart was drifting far away, haiya, i honestly don't know why i volunteered, i had an ulterior motive, and i don't know if it's worth sacrificing my time for. And yeah, they did some stuff with the guys, and latif came over to ask me how was i, then i said its so darn boring here, i wish i could go and have fun somewhere, i read in darren's blog he played pool on thurs and the other guys had fun and i was busy and sadly snapping away, haiya. And also, about the singing stuff, i really hope one day me latif and darren get the guts to get on stage, i mean, the girl and the 2 crooners, haiya, when i finally master the art of vibrato from my dad i'll definitely do it. And yeah, sat was burned. Speaking about burned we spent a lot of time with the guides today, waiting for them to barbecue their food, and i was squatting there and sadly amanda didn't entertain me with a story, so i was quietly waiting for people to offer the sad photographer's food, and we didn't need people to offer us too, me and ray were busy stuffing our mouths full of marshmellows and hotdogs and everything we could get our hands on, i was so busy i didn't even take the group photo properly, (i hope that ms loo doesn't scold me) and we left there smelling like we just smoked. So yeah, we finally bade farewell and hoped on the bus to central for lunch at the sizzler.

Yeah, i was telling ray what a miss it was, and how depressed i was at that time, haha, and when we realised we had so much to eat and so little time, we started gobbling everything we could get our hands on, with that salad bar full of mouthwatering lucious peaches and mmmnnn, scrumptious noodles and fresh and succulent fruits. Even before the the chicken came, we were stuffing ourselves, and when the main course came, ah hah, no problem, we gobbled everything up the same, and then after the chicken i got to the salad bar to get some ice cream, then i placed it at the table and left for more soup, then when i came back mrs hao suddenly asked me, ''you haven't tasted your icecream ah?'' Then i was like, ''ah,'' Then she just said, ''faster taste! very nice one!'' Then i was, ''uh ook'' Then dunno why people were laughing at me and she was laughing too, and i smelt a rat but i continued eating anyway, then she said''very nice correct?'' lol, then i just said yep and miss audrey tan walked by and said, ''it's been contaminated, i saw it myself'' Lol, then everyone started laughing, then they told me she tasted it before, and she left her mrs hao speciality saliva on my gleaming sliver spoon, no wonder the ice cream tasted especially special and nice! So after lunch, i could barely walk, i'd rather move in a wheelchair but haiya, what to do.

So throughout the day, i continued my state of depression and i was in deep thought about water and ray was left alone, lol, all he could do was to comfort me, haha, i felt really hopeless about that situation and i was in no mood at all to take pics, haiya, then they went to the usual places, little india, kampung glam and singapore river and gave us additional trouble, haha and it was so darn hot and yeah, for the whole trip i was talking about water and what to do about this and stuff like that. Yeah finally they went back to school, and i was really relieved. i'm super duper sick of taking pics for the japanese already, haiya, i've distanced from my friends in class, and following them all the time and touring the empty school makes me feel empty, espcially because i'm alone all the time, cause i can't keep sticking to ray. So after we were released me and ray chatted for yet another like hour or so before i went home. I guess i won't volunteer for the jap trip again in my entire life, even the thai visitors that ms agnes lim wants us to cover i will not, i'm too tired and too sick of doing it, photographers are poor things, lonely excluded people, haha.

Can't wait to get back to school again, i dunno why, but that's that, i still find it funny why wei zhou still values me a lot, i declined to play pool for close to a month already, but maybe its cause i've maintained my standard, and teck's been dropping a lot lately, but the fact that he was able to reach the previous height shows he has been there and done that and although he's low now, he can do it again, anytime. And yesterday huda sent me those lotr piano scores and i wondered where she got them from, then she told me you tube, then i saw one guy playing ''concerning hobbits'' on the piano and his hands were literally FLYING, i'd never be able to that, not in this life, FLYING! lol, i printed the scores out and gave up after the first note, haha. And yeah, i also wanna get ready to capt the impending soccer match of e1/2 against e3/4.

I'm back!

The Japanese

Today's been a boring day. I know, the japs have come, but i guess it doesn't appeal to me that much after all. In the morning, i ray told me that we were only have 30mins of lessons before we were free. Now i finally understand, when one is having fun, time flies, haha, i mean, when we have math lessons, the bells ring so fast, but today, when i'm dying for the bell to ring, it took so so so longg, i almost died waiting for it. So yeah, the bell finally rang and we got off downstairs. Then miss loo came along and gave us a short briefing and she told us to prepare this and that, and take good photos like this and that. Then she led us to the board where all the past year's japanese photos were pinned and she was telling us to try to take good photos like those. Then, lol, it was so funny, then we told miss loo i was the one who took those photos last year. Then she was totally shocked, haha, she said she didn't even remember me and ray, then i said she needn't worry since those good photos were taken by me, haha. Then she asked if we wanted to go to japan at the year end. Well, i dunno, ray seemed pretty interested, but i wasn't, i dunno, i look forward to going abroad not for some cultural exchange, i'd wanna see scenery, places, and learn stuff with my pals, going for some cultural exchange would be really boring. Besides, there're many chances, japan, ''australia'' for ej next year (that's what mr yeo says) and there's still new zealand for geog, which i'm pretty interested in. Besides, i'd probably starve there since i'm not a fan of asian food.

Then yeah, they arrived, and this year's batch looked better than the last, haha. I dunno, but they one lee yen partnered was really decent looking and cute, haha, she's only 13. And yeah, the usual stuff, warm greetings, and laughter, and a stupid irritating photographer snapping away. And yeah, then they went to the hall for the welcome ceremony with the sec 2s, and i was a little nervous, i dunno, at least last year was in front of my classmates, now i was alone with ray and i just stood there waiting for opportunities. And of course, haiya, so many obstructions, so many of our hosts were busy stealing my place for a shot, and i didn't wanna block any of the japanese's shots, and i didn't wanna get into ray's shots, and i didn't wanna knock into the mike, and i didn't wanna fall down. Then yeah, the japanese's performance was pretty impressive. Then they proceeded to the class. Then there was this hunky tan japanese guy, haha, some sec 4 girls immediately requested for a photo with him, haha, i could imagine how happy that lucky guy was then, i guess being tan has its good points, haha, but i still wanna be as fair as sun.

Yeah, anyway, we had to join in an english lesson by miss tan and we were getting increasingly bored, so we took several pics, when we felt we had enough, we requested permission to leave, then we got to the AVA room to watch empire of the sun with our class for a little while, haiya, we missed out 2 movies for today, but at least we have more time for the chemistry test. And yeah, we had to leave for lunch again, haiya, i felt like my friday was burned, i wanted to spend time with my classmates instead, i mean, having ray is good, but still, i miss my friends, spending time with them makes me feel really bored and empty, i mean, my friends are somewhere having fun and i'm kinda stuck.

So yeah, then we proceeded to the DnT room when ray guessed my swain so easily, i totally forgot about taking photographs, lol, the teachers were busy entertaining the japs and me and ray were sitting on the table discussing so indepthly about my swain, and i totally didn't even bother about taking photographs anymore, i just wanted to talk to ray and talk to ray, and he also shared a lot about himself, and yeah, a lot of stuff which he wouldn't be happy to know if i included here, but anyway he's really nice just that people don't know. For the rest of the tour, i was talking to ray, only snapping photos in once in like 15mins, just doing my duty, then they proceeded to the hall to listen to the Beatty Superstar thing, and when i opened the door i heard max and i closed the door again, haha, it was just that it was really loud and a little, you know, awful, ray called it nuisance, but it was really loud, defeaning to be precise, but we still got in, and seeing no ej guys around, i just strode forward to try to get pics since i assumed no one was covering, when i saw an ej member hiding behind the curtains, then i was like, what on earth? lol, its such a big event and she was taking curtain shots, oh my goodness, haiya, ej will really collapse if they still insist on hiding behind the curtains.

Anyway, so i just sat down on the chair doing nothing, then we got down and they were released surprisingly early, i dunno why, but they hosts just went back with their japanese visitors, which was good, but tomorrow we'll have to spend the whole day with them, at least we get free lunch! And yeah, at least tomorrow i get to wear sliipers and mr singh can't say anything about it =D.

So it was pretty late and i decided to get into a more in depth conversation with ray the magnificent, really, i gave him new insights, he gave me new insights, we really shared a lot, shared my views, shared his, asked me for help about some stuff, and i asked for his, enlightened him on several issues, enlightened him a little, we talked even far more after i said bye to amanda and her friends, who were the last few in the empty canteen, and at 6, i told ray i had to leave. Then we walked and talked even more, and more, till our tongues were dry and when we were at our crossroads when i decided to let him finish talking and he didn't and we kept talking while standing for another 30mins, lol, haha, so anyway, that was that, and i hope i would get bored to death tomorrow..

Victory

Defeat. Defeat lay at before our feet. The long awaited match, the highly anticipated showdown, all a failure, all nothing, all down the drain.

Today i arrived in school with my shoebag in hand, feeling confident. We were nervous yeah, butterflies flying around our stomaches. But prepared. Throughout the day, we couldn't concentrate, thinking, flowing away, we were worried, afraid, the pretty normal stuff when you know you're gonna participate in some thing. But yeah, throughout geog i was dreaming about soccer. Yeah, then during lunch, i was ok until latif started worrying again then i started too and so i couldn't finish my lunch. The feeling really is disgusting. The same feeling when we participated in the Wiraka National Snooker Championships, and the same feeling i will get on the 21st of Sept when i sit for my piano exams.

So ok, finally the last minute of ms jamie's lesson went by, and latif was telling me how his hand was shivering, and i told him we've played in the futsal tournament and he has in various others, but yeah, actually, i was also quite afraid. Then after school i got really jumpy. And i didn't eat much, except the strawberry pocky. I then went up to look at the guys play pool for a while just to take my mind of soccer. Haiya, its just an ordinary match! But it blew up cause latif thinks the NCC Landers underestimate us and he really wanted to show them the prowess of the nerds. And latif was saying during recess, "We're not nerds!" Then i stopped him and told him that actually we are nerds, haha. Anyway, i only managed to win a match against yuan hong before latif and shi xiong came running all over, telling me to get dressed and all. And yeah, pretty soon later, we all gathered at the field. Anyway, shi xiong is playing for us cause we were short of people. Then before long, we gathered there, all geared up, and might i add latif looked so hot with his full attire and his captain's armband, and i guess i might be wearing that armband next week, but anyway he looked really hot, i almost fell for him. So we got in and were disappointed.

To start off, the sec 4s took over the field immediately after the sec 4 girls got off, then the Isham guy, the in charge went to talk to them, then he came over to tell us that we had to get off for them. Then of course the guys protested, but he said they were playing the last game before their prelims and they were graduating soon, and by then, we were really pissed. All the nervousness and readiness for nothing. Then of course, the debate went on for really long, until i came up with an idea to let us play for 30mins, rest, let them play 30 and let us again, uh huh, so then we tried to compromise but they rejected, then they told the sec 4s to clear the field, then they looked so sad that it made us feel guilty, until one of them asked isham whether doing this was right. Let's ponder about this, were they really right? They didn't know about the booking system, and claimed they prepared for a long time. And we rightfully booked the court. Having their prelims on friday, they should be at home studying, we finished our CAs. But anyway, they should've played a long time before, not at the eve of the exams. They were merely trying to gain our sympathy, but i respected them for giving in.

So the match started quickly, they were good, but i felt that we were better, but just when we were really starting to get heated up, a ball rolled in, and some of the sec4s including that fat guy came in and started playing. The game stopped. Then the NCC Land ex-beattyan confronted that fat guy when he was strolling in to pick his ball, then the fat guy started pushing him several times, demanding why he pushed him and scolding expletives. I can't really say how disgusted i was at the fat guy, really, he was just, i guess i can't really find the words to describe my disgust, just utter utter total total disgust. Such a lowlife, such a darn gangster, trying to pick out a fight, trying to ''right'' what's ''wrong'' using his ''justifying right and wrong'' brain, picking on someone smaller sized than him. Then he started insulting his mom and the NCC guy just looked at him, no words can describe how much i respected him at that time, had he not restrained himself, had he not thought of what consequences his actions might bring, he would have given that fat guy a punch, and i applaud his actions, he's a hero, i love him, he did right, nothing could have been better than what he did. Although he was my opponent, although i would have done the same, haha, 1 cause obviously because he's like 10 times my size, 2 cause i'm a nice guy, hahaha. But anyway, yeah, he insulted him and he held on, he's a hero. Then they got out and the game continued. But before long mrs hao came in and stopped the game, demanding to know what happened. I really lost my respect for the 4e seniors, they gained my respect when they walked out, but doing such a thing, trying to disrupt our game was really a lot, i thought they were a respectable bunch, reasonable, nice guys, but what they did, haiya. Then mrs hao demanded the truth, and the fat guy still continued to scold his expletives, and yeah, nothing much, but we kinda settled it.

So anyway, the game continued, i was pretty much doing nothing during the game, being the lone striker, the affairs of the lower field had nothing to do with me, i could only wait for the balls to arrive, and sadly, none did. Latif did well, he got the ball, he ran up, still ran, got pass the defenders, and when i was shouting for his ball, he scored, smart thing to do, good goal, good job. Then after that the match kinda got intense. But i have to say our defense was really good, with murali and imran and latif in midfield, they're already hard to get pass, but yun hui, bryan and edward really did a good job, good clearances, good management. But yeah, whenever we got a ball in the upper half of the field, no one could pass to me, hassan dribbled and did some skilful showing down the left flank, but more dribbling meant more wearing out, before long, he didn't even have the energy to pass. So i was just simply running around, shouting for balls, and i was pretty bored. Yeah, until once, when shi xiong did a pass, i was stupid to run in front of the defender marking me, the ball got pass me, i scored, but it was offside. I wasn't really used to this offside thing, i never played offside before, but i could have made it a goal if i thought.

Anyway, Nanda scored 2 goals and yeah, i was still limping around doing nothing, i couldn't help much, no passes, no partner, sometimes i wondered what i was doing there, haha, i made 0 contributions. Till the whistle blew, it was all over, our hopes were dashed, our dreams were gone, nothing, failure. But i thought we played really well, we weren't steamrollered, we did well. And i would like to thank the girls for their unfailing support, although i played like crap robelle maintained i played well, haha, i dunno who she mistook for to be me. Yeah and anyway, imran was really mad at latif for not playing his postion, and latif was really sad again, haiya, then he started tearing again, and monitress had to comfort him, but i thought we played really well, although we could have won, we were underestimated being a bunch of nerds, but we really could have won, and imran felt we didn't maximise our potential, which was quite true. Haiya, all i can hope for is a better showing next wed when we face 3e4, i'm not sure if i can get the captain's armband but really, latif looked hot today, hahaha...

We've not been defeated.

My Time

I'm finally blogging about this school of mine. Haiya, what wonderful memories, haha. I dunno, i cna't remember having much fun in catholic high, i guess there wasn't anything much during my primary school days, just staying back to play soccer, buying wwe cards, doing childish boyish stuff, i don't even think i stayed back once to do homework. No wonder i was so sad when i was in my primary school. I like this school now, i guess i owe it to the people around me, of course, my first thought when i came in was that this school was filled with undesirebles, but of course, i've been proved wrong, although there are, but those are only the minorities. No matter how many people hate the school now, yeah, i admit, the future's still pretty bleak. I mean i remember when i was in sec 1, the newness to the mixed school...girls!! and of course, how could i forget my favorite stalker...botak man? So anyway, botak man's story is a really long one. It started out one day after school when everyone just just hanging out in the canteen. Then i was eating my food when i saw this botak boy eating his food, and he was looking at me. He had the look, you know, like he looked a little slow or something. Then after that i finished and i looked over again, this time he had finished too and he sat down with his bag, looking at me. Then by this time i was a little concious. Ah hah, then a few mins or hours later he was still down there staring at me, even when the people in the canteen lessened. Then the told the guys and they began to laugh. Then i tried walking past him and he would turn his head and look. Then i decided i was too freaked out, and decided to leave the canteen for a while. Then i hid somewhere, then i saw him leaving. haha, then i came back again, approximately 30mins later, he came back again! haha, then i was really afraid then, but i got home safely, haha. So yeah. Before long, the whole class knew his nickname already, then i found out his name was eugene, ahha, anyway, he transferred to another school...

Haiya, i still remember jia yan's first testimonial for me, i attract girls and maybe boys? haha, so its true, i attract several others too, not saying that botak man is gay, but i just attract him i guess, i exude such a, such a, such an allure... anyway, as i was telling sam and ulfred and yh after school today, i'm not new to being molested by guys, haha, not that i like it, but i guess if some guy comes along to touch me i won't be that surprised, after having several experiences...haha..

So anyway, one of the things that made my stay so memorable was ej i guess, lol, i sound like i'm leaving school. But today during the ej course thing, i looked around and i asked ray, do you think ej will survive after the sec 3s leave? Then he said no without a thought. I agree too, the sec 3s make up the backbone on ej, without them, ej will surely collapse. You and i will see that next year, when we stop for o levels, i mean, the only two guys that are interested in ej are MC and jassmen or something, the only sec2s, and 2 guys cannot run the whole club. I mean, its just for our batch that we have all the nice people coming in, ray, imran, murali, and the girls, yeah, without them, ej will surely collapse. And of course, i realised the only fun time i had in ej was when i was with the guys. Haiya, ej has brought me to places sometimes even the head councillor can never have access too, fun that even the funnest people don't find, well, for me.. President concillors don't get to meet the Malaysian High Commisioner, they don't meet the pretty princess from brunei, they don't meet the President of Singapore (Not me though..) To sit in the same car as the Vp, to go to meetings with the p, its just so fun, you feel so important, and its really really cool, i guess. It like when you go off to be part of some big event, you're not the audience this time, you're the VIP, i mean, many people will admire you. Like the hulala, when latif took out the white shirt amongst the grey ones, at first he asked, hey how come got white shirt one?! Then on the white shirt's plastic bag scribbled one word, "Hexun" Then there was an outrage, haha, everyone was like tearing after me, they wanted the white tee shirt. Haha, and on that day out of the whole school, only like a handful wore the white shirts. Haha, so anyway, its the people that make the stay here nice.

Yes, the past years, i've seen most of the boys shed tears, imran has shed, latif has cried a river, teck has i think, even i have done my piece of shedding, emotional ups and downs, friendship problems, but at the end of the day, all is fine.. To think of it, i think the guys cried even more than the girls. Relationships break down, depression sets in, teachers get mad, but at the end of the day, 3e2's favorite monitress saves the day, she's the best....

So yeah, today during physics class, teck suddenly laughed and laughed and he told me ms lydia didn't button her 2nd shirt button, i was laughing too, and i was scolding him for being a pervert, but he kept saying it was really obvious, but i maintained that if he was decent he shouldn't have spotted it, haha, but then when i was looking at her face, i found, ya la, it was quite obvious, so me and teck didn't know what to do, ahha, then we just kept laughing cause i felt he was really pervertic, haha, but i guess he really isn't la.. so i finally told jia yan that for the sake of helping all the pervertic men around, she should tell ms lydia to button her button, so finally she told her and she buttoned, haha...we seem to be really indecent....

So anyway, today went for the ej movie making thingy and yuan hong and i were dying to join they guys at the table, we were gathered at the AVA room and we could here they sounds of the pool balls colliding, haiya, so tempting.. Anyway, we watched roystan tan's "Mother" and i told ray that if i watched it alone i might cry, it was sooo sad, i guess i'm a nice guy and nice guys have feelings, hahaha.. Then came the long awaited break. I told them to gimme a game before i left for the course again so kenneth decided to play with me. Then i broke the pack and pocketed and then i stretched really far to pot one shot, and because the ground was really slipperly, after i hit that shot, i slipped and kinda fell on the table, and haiya, i injured my rocks when i fell, haha, at first i didn't really feel anything. But then throughout the match i was crouching down, hugging my groin cause it was really painful, haha, sorry girls for the explicit content, but i still won kenneth although i injured my peanuts.

Enjoy your weekdays!

My death nears

There's so much to do recently, put aside the exams and tests, i'm not interested in them, haha. Anyway, my PIANO exams are coming, although i'm lucky enough not to receive my letter, but i'm still gonna die cause i've totally neglected all my scales, i NEVER practice them, them as in even the pieces unless my mum tells me to, and when i do, i never practice my scales, so i'll have to get a good grade for everything and fail scales and still get to the next grade... I'm such a noob. Its so hard, i'm tired of practising my darn scales, i hate it, playing the piano is like playing soccer, i even sweat when i play the piano, cause its too fun.. And even if i pass my practical, there's still the theory which i don't even have a clue what's it about, since grade 1, i never never touch my theory, and i'm gonna die, i failed my grade 3 theory! Haha, what a joke, so i dunno how i'm gonna pass this time, unless i'm willing to do something...

Anyway, i've been really close to ray recently, particularly because i'm learning esp, and also because he enlightens me, he clears my fogginess of the world, of the people around me, although i'll still treat everyone equally, while he doesn't really like a lot of people, but he treats them nicer than i do.. And because of learning esperanto, he introduced me to his friend, joanna, who seems very friendly too, and i only met her once on msn and he expects me to follow me to meet her next week. Friend making is so fun! Anyway, i dunno what to do, being awfully shy, i dunno whether i should go a not.

And then there's the pool tournament, me and kenneth have discussed with mrs , forgot her name, the school counsellor and nothing seems to be coming out of it. I mean, i want a level champion, and then an overall champion, but we only have 1 week to carry out the tournament and having all levels is a headache. So kenneth suggested to leave out the sec 4s, and he was unsure whether to leave out the sec 1s, but the students the pool committee are teaching now are sec 1s anyway. Its such a headache, nothing'll come out of it, we might still have to meet all the class monitors to look at the interest level, its really difficult, not everyone wants to play pool you know. Then mrs counsellor wants to fight for 1 per class, to shorten the time, but i told her there might be conflicts. Like for example, for our class, there's me, kenneth and teck siang.. who to send? The winner will bring back glory, while the left out will feel jealous. And there isn't any team sprit, nor any of class sprit, a one man show isn't spritual at all is it? So no matter how much mrs counsellor proposed for a 1 man team, i made clear my stand of having 3 in a class, so its a real headache, we don't have much time, manpower and authority to do much, we're not even discussing as a committee, mr yeo, he won't do much of what he promises, haiya, but i really want a pool tournament..

Then there's the soccer, against the ncc lands. Then latif told me that we might be playing the full 90 mins, which might result in my unconciousness or even worse, death. I've never played an 11 aside 90 min game before, doing so will result in death. I mean i know i don't have to do much of the running but i do most of the spriting! And with a striker like darren partnering me, it seems pretty obvious that i'm gonna do most of the footwork.. So i'm gonna die, someone help me... Maybe if robelle will be there it'll help, haha, she'll boost my stamina surely!! Anyway, i'm pretty sure we can win, as long as we have the old 2e3 team inside any team, we're bound to win, haha, i mean, the underdogs will pose a real challenge this time, we're not gonna be steamrollered..

Its so boring, have a good weekend..!

Mia bona frato, mia bona amikon

Saluton! Vi estas parolas esperanto? Mi estas parolas esperanto! Mia meljuna amiko, Ray, estas mi instruisto, li diris mi pri la lingvo. Cix tie estas mia unuae skribiad. Ah! gi estas malfacila! Mi deziro al prezenti mi, mi nomo estas hexun, ago, 14, estas malgranda, estas alta, estas melbela, haha. Ai, mia kurso estas multa malalta knabino. Multa la knabo estas mia amikoj. La knabino en la skolo estas bela, mi sati unu knabino. Ok, la skolo estas granda, estas bona, instruisto estas bona, kelkaj estas malbona. Ankau, kelkaj mia ''amiko'' estas simila hundo kaj hundino, aiya, gi estas malgoji... Ulo homoj..ulo homoj..






Hello, i'm back again... its been a busy week. Floods of tests, of sadness, of grieve, of disappointment. Of course, i took up a new interest, all thanks to mia malnova amiko, ray. Well, me and ray decided to go ahead with it anyway, its beautiful.. Anyway, we had really many many tests and i'm undaunted by all the bad results, although there are some good ones. And i'm so glad i finally got a 20 for my pure geog, i've been like wanting that for the whole year, finally i could prove to mrs chow a newcomer can do the same, although i still didn't get an a1 overall...Anyway, i still have a full marks to get for physics and e math tomorrow, haha, just joking. Well, i just cut my hair yesterday, and when i walked in with darren, the woman started telling me if i wanted to have a new hairstyle, i said no, then she told me i could cut my back in a V-shaped way, make the sides of the back of my hair thinner and let the mid portion of my back hair longer, so i'd look as nice as another hairdresser behind me. Haiya, then i really didn't know what to do, so i just said yes. And when i came out, i looked like a punk. Darren told me he'd do anything for a switch, but i thought i really looked like a punk. I mean, i was carrying a big bag, with my books, and i had the punk hair, even all my nerdiness with the books couldn't neutralize my looks. Anyway, looking decent is my speciality, haha, so i won't style my hair to the fullest.

So recently, the chinese have been sitting in, and darren surprised me when he showed me his note, a chinese girl wrote for him, asking him if she could take a few pics with him. 6-7 to be exact, till he couldn't smile anymore. Wow, darren's a hit among the chinese girls!!! I can't wait for the japanese to come, by then, i'd be the photographer and i hope i can see some quality japanese knabino (ray'll know) And i hope ray'll come too.

So anyway, i can't wait for e1 & e2's impending match against the NCC Land, the nerds against the soldiers, wow, i can't foresee what might happen, haha, but most probably, it'd be a draw or we'd lose by a little, unless i'm willing to do more running, but it's 11 aside, and i haven't played such a big game before, i might not be used to it. And robelle's crazy over it, she can't wait to watch us play.

Anyway, i took a really long while to type out the first paragraph, i hope someone who knows will appreciate it. Its a really short post, i have nothing on my mind at the moment.

The Tainted World of Man

Today is a nice day. Yeah today was fine. Until chinese lesson, when we saw the fat teacher walk into the classroom, i quickly erased my perception of how he was like cause of how i learnt he was from other people. And luckily i did. Because he was just as hatable as people say he is. He spoke his speech so fluently, jumping from things he dislikes to i'm a nice guy to i can be an angel and a demon, obviously he spent much time before he came to school to write this speech. I can imagine at home in front of his mirror, trying to memorize the speech. Recollection of his speech. "ok, have i been to this class? Well if i haven't, let me tell you a few things that work for me. The classes that i've taught know that i can make life very miserable for them. *some text missing* Some of you guys like to play transformers, you like to move the table, but make sure after the lesson you move them back. I'm a very nice guy, the guys who've played pool with me will know. I can be an angel, alright, similarly i can be a devil, alrite, i'm a guy with no life, i stay at home thinking of ways to make students' lives miserable.'' And some more, i write this to compare with other people who've been relieved by him, is it the same? haha. Anyway, i was just thinking, what the heck, he's only a relief teacher, haha.

Anyway, for the whole lesson i was talking to ray and yh about cs,we've been playing cs pretty much recently, (with darren) and of course, being the computer gurus, they totally owned me, which they deny so. Then suddenly the fat teacher said aloud, you know who plays good pool in this school? Immediately my head turned, haha, i thought he would refer to us, since he got owned, but he said Mr Foo and some other technician. I was totally dumbstruck. Oh my goodness, the OM, a pool player? Then the fat teacher continued to say that he got cleared by Mr Foo once. Oh my goodness, so much for making Mr Foo respect me. Anyway, i'll find an opportunity for me to be able to gain his respect. Anyway, got back the chinese test results, and i got 66.6 if converted to 100% I was still kinda amazed, haiya, i don't really know how to get an a1, its just so, you know, something like impromtu. On the lesson having the test i still wished we didn't have the test. We just got in and did the test, i didn't have the test mood. Anyway, i'm already very lucky to be my postion now, i should be! I mean, if i can't even get a B, my mum would definitely disown me, of course, not disown, just be really really mad. She's already unhappy that i don't get As for Chinese. Anyway, its really difficult for me to get A for Chinese in final-years, i mean, i just can't get a good mark for Compo. Teck tells me i write like i talk, but i find it totally difficult to write a chinese compo, i guess that's how difficult Chinese inclined people feel when they write an english compo. Anyway, they were talking about the Chinese o' level release of results. Then i was telling teck, if i didn't get an A1, i'd probably retake it. I mean c'mon, Chinese is compulsory to be in one of those 6, if you get a B3 its like, you already know half of your result, must well make it an A and give yourself something better to hope for!

Anyway, got back English compre results and i got 32/50, i was so surprised, i didn't even do it properly. I mean, i read the passage once and rushed to finish the questions and for the summary, i did a draft just to show ms wong some respect and also to kill time, and i still got 32, i should have passed only. Yeah, and anyway, ray was telling me how he didn't do this one properly and he got 37, haha.

Anyway, for the whole of the 2 periods, i simply chatted with ray, a rather enlightening chat. I've finally understood Communism. I mean, when ray lent me the Communist Manifesto, what i understood was the exploitation of the working class by the bourgeoisie. To put the message across simply, the working class are paid the amount they work per hour, and the goods they produce earn money for the bourgeoisie, or the upper class, the Manifesto, says that all the surplus that goes to the capitalist as profits is in reality the "property" of the working class who created that wealth. By right, the money that the bourgeoisie earn are produced by the workers but yet they enjoy much more. So i found out he wasn't emphasizing on this point. I mean, mainly, Communism is about restoring the dignity of working back to the workers. I mean, men work just for money, for the profits, for the sake of working and not for the leisure. Men have changed, under capitalism. He told me workers in the Argentinian factory just come and work, and the knock off whenever they please, they elect a manager, and they receive the amount of money they work for. I dunno, but whatever he said, i really agreed, i've forgotten what he said, i guess i'll update this post again, what he said today turned me communist. I mean, he really hit the spot, but i guess i don't want to be involved with this, i guess i'm ok with everything. Then he talked about how unfair the Americans were, i mean, communist men were elected in several countries thru the democratic system but yet the US used their might to take away these people. We're living in such a corrupted and tainted society. What men want are power over others, riches and everlasting wealth, when will they stop fighting and realise everlasting wealth awaits above?

Anyway, after school, me kenenth and teck siang had lunch outside. And they were telling me about the pool parlour at Park Lane, i've never been there before, you need to be 16. But they told me you need just one ic for one group to enter, to get a table, each need to give their ics. And they told me there was a challenger's table, whereby the winner takes the table, the loser punches the table ( as in pay for the table) And there was actually a queue, for challenges. they told me about who they beat, who they lost, who wei zhou beat, and so on and so for. But i guess if i went it wouldn't be a big problem for me, they told me the standard there wasn't sky high. Anyway, teck told me last week that wei zhou asked them how come i didn't want to go to Park Lane, and Kenneth said haiya, he so easily get psyched, go there confirm cannot play well. Now kenneth knows i'm so vulnerable. Then i spent like 10 mins telling teck how kenneth can psyche me. I mean, kenneth know's my weakest link, that's my psychological barrier. I mean, you may look at this post and think, haiya what psychology? When you play pool, just don't listen to your opponent talk la, so simple, just concentrate! It doesn't work this way. Another unexplored area in this world, how the mind works. I mean, you don't conciously know that you're being affected psychologically. I mean, even little things people say affects me. Like when i play with kenneth, he just cannot keep quiet, especially against me, the worst of all psychos is like, when i face a fairly simple shot, they he'll say, this shot confirm in one, it's hexun's favorite shot. Then in my mind, i'll think, "what's he playing at? He's trying to psycho me? Haha, i'm not that easily psyched. '' and what follows is a miss. Then he'll pretend to be shocked. Haiya, its normal already, kenneth himself knows he cannot really win me if he doesn't psycho me.

I mean, you don't know how the mind works. Sticks and stone can break my bones but words can never hurt me, haha, what am i talking about? Anyway, when kenneth says something, i'll look expressionless and i'll seem unaffected, but maybe somewhere in my brain, a sensitive nerve explodes and gives me a misjudgement on the ball i hit, because in cuesports, especially snooker, it requires undivided attention, i wish psychologists could work on cuesports, i'll tell my mum leter. Anyway, kenneth himself admits his presence at the table when he's against me psychos me. Last time at wei zhou's house, he told me that he wanted to play the last match against me, a serious match. Then during one of my shots, he went to sit down, saying he didn't want to psycho me, haha, so you see the power of psychology?

Anyway, went to church after lunch to discuss about some event in dec cause i'm in the committee. Then i was just sitting there quietly saying nothing while they began talking and talking. I just can't help being shy. Anyway, they were also talking about the o level chi stuff and how higher chinese is important. Then i think back to my primary school days when i was in EM1, i dropped to EM2 because i didn't get a band 2 for english, i missed by 1 mark. What a joke, i dropped because of english, and because of one mark. And my mum went to meet the teacher and the teacher wouldn't let me cause he said i was lazy and i loved to play soccer. haiya, what to do, its only a mark and the teacher doesn't allow. My whole class dropped out except 2 who continued, haha, and i could have made it, if i got 1 more mark for english, i mean other people didn't mark the mark for other subjects, like chinese, which is understandable if the teacher doesn't allow continuation but mine is english! By 1 mark!!!! I wish he was more loving and compassionate and kind. If not i would have taken my mother tongue already.haiya....

Its friday, enjoy your weekend!

All stars players analysis

Today is the school's national day celebrations. I really wanted to wear a white tee, shorts and slippers to school cause i saw that everyone was wearing something except me but then the guys told me that slippers were not allowed while the girls told me they were allowed, so i decided to wear my uniform instead. So anyway, after the celebrations, i was kinda eager to play soccer, its been long since we met up to play at the court again.

Yeah, so the e1-e2 match, i knew we were no match, we lost 5-1, haha, i mean c'mon, we had jj, latif, me, bryan and keng guang, hardly the match of imran and murali and avinesh and hassan. So thruout the match i was just joking and playing a fool, i was strolling about the court cause what's the point of working so hard, its difficult to break thru their defence.

Anyway, when the other guys joined us in a mixed game, i decided to play for that special person, and i got boosted and i could really see the change in my game, ahah, yeah, i ran more and dribbled more and shot more, of course, we won some we lost some.

2e3 All stars Player analysis:

Imran: Dubbed the beatty zidane. He has skillful dribbling, slow, steady and decisive passing, accurate shot maker. Imran is great along both flanks, good midfielder, lasting stamina. The driving force of the team. Any team would be afraid of him because of his ability to control the ball, so he is able to dribble all the way to their defence and make a good shot. His disadvantage is his selfishness, although, he has good control... But there are times when a pass is crucial.

Murali: The crux of defence. Murali, what can i say, the jem of every team, skilful dribbler, good with both feet, powerful shotmaking, agile, a commanding figure, perfect stamina. Any position is suitable for him, i rejoice when he's in our team, for he's the best defender you can find on the face of the earth, Manchester United should really really buy this prodigy, exceptional talent and skill. Whenever a striker gets pass our defence, i'll not worry because murali is still there. When i'm against murali, i hate it and i don't play proper because he's the toughest person to get past, very persistent, he'll be your shadow and he'll never leave you, that's where i wear out, he has 100/10 stamina.

Latif: Darn joker, don't know what he's doing on the court all the time, haha. Sloppy defender, but still, we're assured when he's in the defence although he treats everything like one big joke. Very very sloppy, tons of deliberate handballs and many slips and mistakes. Good runner, resists well, he pushes the ball up and has good stamina, although his dribbling is not very smooth, good pusher, passes well, still important guy to a team but is very very inconsistent and sloppy.

Who else but me?: haha, i've nothing much to say about myself, but i'll tell you truthfully. I'm a very unselfish striker, Only good finishing.ppl do the work, i do the finishing, only good for short distances, bursts of speed, lasts like for one attack, but i can last long for that attack, but after that attack, i simply do not have enough stamina to last another. Dribbling wise, i'm not that good when guys are close to me, i need space to dribble. Receiving balls are my weakness, i'm unable to receive a pass properly, as in high passes because the time taken to receive the balls is very crucial to a striker, split second type, if not the defender would have caught up. Power is quite powerful, haha. But maybe the bad thing about me is that i pass when i have the opportunity, when i'm not sure of a chance of scoring, which might be bad for a striker. Speed-wise, only for short bursts i can outrun people like murali, when when he sticks to me, i'll lose out because of lack of stamina.

Nowsadays, the school field is open to us to play. If the e1 and e2 combine, we'll total up to be a powerhouse, a force to be reckoned with. Of course there're several good players in e1 like avinesh and hassan, avinesh is a good defender, similar to murali, has a commanding figure, but he's a little slow. Hassan is too anxious, he does not play calmly, but has great dribbling. Of course, how can we forget that guy jia jun, great goal keeper, but personality wise, not so great, haha, thinks loads of things are jokes.. Anyway, we're gonna challenge most of the n classes in our level, and we'll show them the power of the nerds.

Basically, for a team to win, the 2e3 guys are enough, we don't need anymore, with new signings to the team, hahaha, we'll be unbeatable!!!

Anger and Hatred

I've sinned today. Let's start from the beginning. Today, when the fire drill rang, me and latif lined up outside the classroom. He was talking to me and he leaned on the fire extinguished, all of a sudden, the fire extinguisher went off, it sprayed the back of his head, at that time, we felt that it was some stupid joke, and laughed it off. Then, after that, everything went back to normal again. Yeah, we had a great PE, finally got to play soccer, against 2e1, we won, 8-5, i scored 6, but i don't take credit, i've been actually doing nothing on the field, just staying up, waiting fot them to run and run and pass the ball to me, all i did was to do the finishing and gain their credit, so i do not deserve any credit at all, anyone could have scored 6, but tomorrow we'll play real soccer. So anyway, the day passed normally, yeah, we had the physics test after school which we all failed, although i still bear hope of passing. Then came the after test part. We were at the pool table teaching the sec 1s, when they left, the table was ours, then ms tuan called me to go to the general office, i thought i was called to help her carry stuff. Then in the office, ms tuan told me she told mr foo about the fire extinguisher, she told me that she told mr foo out of concern, because at that time, the pin was gone. So i was glad to offer help again, latif was called to be interrogated by mr foo, and when i went in with latif, he told me to get out, cause he wanted to talk to latif first, ok, so no manners, i can deal with that. I was called because i was an eyewitness. Then long later, mr foo walked out and handed me a paper, he told me to write whatever i saw on that piece of paper, ok, nothing much, so i obliged like a good citizen. Yeah, i wrote exactly what happened, and waited another long long while. Then i went into the general office to check, and ms tuan came in too. She went to check on latif, and she told me Latif was crying, she said mr foo had placed all the blame on latif, i help up my hands in disbelief, then i told ms tuan, but he hasn't seen what i had written what, how can he accuse him? Of course at this point, i was already burning with injustice, i wanted to prove to mr foo. Ms tuan told me she had to leave, and to tell me to tell latif that she believed latif and told me to console him. I could live with that, ok, so i walked out, then mr foo came out to see me. I handed him my paper, he read, and he scolded me. He said i was hiding things from him because i am his friend, he said YOU'ALL were at fault for this thing, he said do you guys have to wait for injuries to happen before you report? Because i wrote no one was hurt. At that point, i exploded. I raised my hands and my voice, i was in total disbelief, how could that man do this? I said, then what's the point of calling me here? Might as well put a cctv to see what happens, you weren't there, i was there, what makes you think i'm hiding things from you? You called me here to be the eyewitness, i gave you what i saw, and you scold me from hiding things from you? I'm the next best thing to the CCTV, so why don't you just install one? Why did you waste my time waiting? Of course, i was infuriated, no one could have understood how i felt, the sense of injustice, my best friend was sitting in the room, he was the scapegoat, he was being blamed for something he didn't do. Then mr foo said, why did he lean on the fire extinguisher? You know its there and yet you leaned on it? I scolded mr foo, he walked away. I turned to my friends and i said the f word, i shouldn't have, i reached my boiling point, my anger could not be contained any longer, there's a constant boiling point, no more higher, it reached that point and i naturally exploded! I sincerely apologise for my bad behaviour, i stopped my habit since sec 1, i never used it, till now. I was infuriated, c'mon! Latif was merely at the wrong place at the wrong time! What mr foo was trying to say was that we should do everything the ONE RIGHT WAY. Its as good as saying you shouldn't sit at the side of the bench because the centre of mass isn't there, the bench might topple under your weight! So everytime we sit, sit in the middle, NEVER SIT AT THE SIDE! What logic is that? Who on earth has said that?

Mr foo lied, we were right, he was lying about what we did, we were right, we were right. He blamed us, i wanted to confront him, they were still in the office, i wanted to tell him to do it the right way, he was way unreasonable. Its as good as saying a bird was doing business on a tree, but i leaned against the tree and the tree tilted over mr foo's car, then instead of the road, the excreta landed on his car, and we get blamed for that. Logical? Reasonable? We've been maligned,blamed, the scapegoat of someone's crimes, someone's irresponsible doings. What Mr Foo did was wrong, when he first saw me, the monitor, i knew he knew that at least they have the monitor here, more responsible, but when he saw my testimony, he immediately, based on his ''superhuman instincts'' detected a ''big big lie!'' And oh, suddenly, i'm not that credible source of evidence anymore, i'm just an idiot helping him cause he's my darn classmate.

Yes, i was very angry, i couldn't stop cursing, not a lot of F words though, but please, understand my stand, i was really boiling, i was heated up, i was flaming, i would have scolded mr foo really loudly, and i had to vent my anger, he made me start again. I waited for latif, he came out of the general office door, he was crying, he was choking, telling me how he was wronged, he said mr foo blamed everything on him, he didn't have a chance to state his stand, latif could not do anything. He said he was going to call his dad, and might make him pay for the fire extinguisher. I exploded again, i saw mr foo, and i stormed towards him, but latif held me back, he told me he didn't want anymore trouble.

Trouble? What trouble is there? Did we create the trouble? In fact, i think we helped the school a great deal. The fire extinguished was found to be used, latif only managed a small spray, and the extiguisher was finished. If there was a fire, what use would an empty fire extinguisher be to to rescuers? We were blamed for a crime we did not commit, we were unreasonably blamed. Just because we're young, we're kids, we're easy targets. These, men, these adults, can shift their weight anywhere they wish to! We're nothing in their eyes! We're just special excitement, so that someone can get punished! So the school doesn't have to pay for the fire extinguishers! Wrong? What wrong have we done? Have we done anything against our conscience? I wanted to confront him, but the others said to forget it. It shouldn't be, these kinds things shouldn't be forgotten so easily, its not nice to be oppressed even if we're right. Especially over me, i did NOTHING at all, i offered my assistance, not only did he decline my assistance, he seemed to have chased me away, like in a natural disaster, you chase your rescuer away. hahaha, its so funny isn't it? I stood there, i gave him an account of what my own eyes saw, and Mr Foo INSISTED that i was lying! That i was covering for him! hahaha, i guess mr foo is a psychic. What proof does he have to prove that what i'm trying to prove right is wrong? When i have Proof? Forget it, you guys don't share my sense of injustice at the moment, i'm just very heated up. I'll let the matter pass. But so long latif has to bear any punishment, even a detention, i'll confront everyone, even if it has to be Mr Boo, why be afraid? Even if we stand amongst people we think we're wrong, we should still stand up to what we believe to, because, surely, someone out there will believe you, and the biggest confidence you get is not from that someone, its from you, because Mr Foo cannot lie that much, how long can he ''hide'' the truth for? Has he been there? I guess he has, because he was so smart to know i'm wrong.

Yeah, so latif told me that he was afraid that mr foo would call his father and his father wouldn't believe him. So i told him if that ever happens, i'll call his father. Sometimes you just feel that sometimes we have to give up and forget things that happen, and sometimes we have to put aside fear and timidity to stand up for what we believe in..

Anyway, enough of my hero's speech, its been good, memories like these will make latif remember beatty more cleary, or maybe, even fondly. Anyway, we went to KFC, had a great time and left like at 8pm. Tomorrow's a big event, soccer, haha.. Happy funning!

Politics of the Higher

HELLO!, why am i so high? Dunno. Anyway, i went to church today, and i couldn't concentrate at all cause i was thinking thruout everything about a certain matter, to be exact, a fantasy, to make it clearer, i was daydreaming. Anyway, after lunch we didn't have singspiration, rather, some one from canada to share her testimony. Well, she was just an odinary high school girl, and she received a vision from God to actually have a singing service at city hall, an open place which needed months before hand to book and hundreds of thousands to do so, and yeah, she went forward to try to realise this vision and miraculously everything worked for her la, she even booked it for free. Yeah, then more miraculous stuff, like a new sun emerging amongst the dark clouds immediately after they prayed, which i thought was interesting, i'd sure like to receive a vision from God someday.

Anyway, when i was playing games halfway, my mum interrupted my fun by pulling me to attend the hi-tea with the other adults, so i obliged and yeah. So anyway, when my brother and i were seated amongst the adults, they asked me what school i was in now, then i said it, and they haven't even heard of it before. So actually, are we proud to be beattiyans? To me, not really, since young my mum has pressured me on my homework, and i guess due to my laziness and passion for soccer, i failed miserably and got to beatty and brought shame to the family. Are we proud to be beattyians? I mean, when i'm actually outside i wouldn't say i am, but at least i have a sense of belonging to beatty, but of course, when i'm out dining with my parent's friends, i'm super embarrassed to talk about my studies, no matter how smart or talented i seem to be, i'm still in beatty, anyway, whatever i say here is really stupid, of course i'm in no position to say i belong to schools like raffles and the good schs cause i'm still lazy in beatty, so i deserve to be in beatty due to my laziness, i mean, unless i get 1st in standard all the time, i just need someone and something to push me. I wish i can attend a motivational talk everyday of my life, cause when i do actually attend these talks, i work hard- for 1 day, and then it dies. So anyway, due to my laziness, i'm brought shame to my family. I mean, my mum has to have high standards due to the standards set by themselves based on their academic achievements and naturally, these standards must be followed by and reached by the next generation, and i'm too lazy to reach those heights. There're just too much fun to miss out in life, why spend 24/7 studying, trying to prepare for happiness when we get our dream jobs when a car might kill me tomorrow at 12:47pm? The point i'm trying to make is to enjoy life, but how am i gonna do that without feeling guilty? Maybe we take a different perception, one, being to let go of everything and to enjoy life, don't worry about what's gonna happen tomorrow, tomorrow's worries will be settled tomorrow, today, i drink and dance and make merry. The 2nd being i work hard now and reap the fruit tomorrow. So anyway, what should we follow?

Anyway, i had a good time with the adults today, we touched on the importance of eyesight. Yeah, actually, i do wear specs, i guess i'm too vain to wear them (not the pair in my bag). But as we grow older, we might actually suffer from longsightedness, and my father was telling us about when he was like 36, he went for reservice and cause he was in charge of checking the missle launching( or whatever it was involving those portable missle thingys, or cannons) He was in charge of a live firing session and it was dark and my father suffered from longsightedness, haha, he couldn't see the cannon scale markings and put his trust on his guys and just gave the direction to fire, haha, everyone exploded when we heard that, for all we know, the cannons might have been directed at the Istana.

This post is so boring, i'll think of a better one soon. Most probably on tues, about e1's and e2's soccer match.

Pool and Man and the other

I would love to thank all the girls in this whole world. When i was young, i was kept away from girls, the only time was when i was in kindergarden. I had a girlfriend then, her name was charmaine, haha, now know the prowess of the lady killer! Yeah, then ever since i stepped into catholic high primary, i've never spoken to another girl, except in church. So started the 6 years talking to my own sex only. I was deprived of love and girl watching. Yes, for 6 years, i engaged in boyish acts, boyish games, boyish sweat, grime, and dirt. And when i went to beatty, i was introduced into a new world, a world with girlllss, uhhhh. Yes, i started out as being shy, and of course, being young, i hated the girls. Till now, i'm still shy but i know that the world wouldn't be a nice place without girls, haha, the guys can only give you so much. Anyway, i write this post to honour girls, not because i'm in love recently, not cause i love girl watching, but without girls, the dominion of man will fail. Without girls, there wouldn't be homework, no children, no love, no happiness.

I don't know what to write in this post, but anyway, i wanna talk about the carpenters. Yesterday, i was listening to the Carpenter's, ''Top of the World'' for like another million times while playing pool. Yeah, anyway, its a pretty sad story, the Carpenter sibling's lead, karen, suffered from anorexia, which is like, dieting, and they never really stop, they get super skinny. Yeah, she died after she gained 5kg in a week, where her heart couldn't take the strain. So you see, singers never lead a good life. Almost all my favorite singers have died already, John denver, karen carpenter and luther vandross. Thank God Engelbert's not dead yet, and i hope i get to go to his concert at least once.

Anyway, back to the topic of girls, haha. The reason why i'm against BGR is the i've heard enough of my mother's stories of her experiences in court. She's seen many young teen's lives ruined by ''love'' Its not time guys, girls can get pregnant, and then it'll be really difficult. Anyway, even if i were really really too much in love, i'll just go out once or twice with that lucky girl, haha, i wouldn't dare to date a girl, it'll really affect my studies that's why when i was sec 1 i kept persuading the BGRers not to do that, but i had no idea. Never would have thought that the enforcer himself would fall for that trap, the first time i fell in love, i realised that it isn't easy to say no, but anyway, no matter how strong it is, i'll say no. Is it worth it? Are you sure the guy/girl you're in love now will be your future spouse? Surely someone you find now isn't the one, even if you think she is, you'll have to go thru really a lot to get her, it'll be almost a decade before he or she can be your spouse, and thru the years, the feelings fade, your grades drop, and you'll be afraid she loses interest in you too..

Anyway, i've been flipping thru some of my father's club magazines cause i'd really like to participate in any pool tournament available. I think i'm quite ok and although my goal is not to win, at least i can see where i stand. And of course, pool gains respect, especially from the much older men. One example is that fat relief teacher that amanda and her friends seem to hate, as written on her blog. lol, we didn't know much about him either, but one day he just strolled to the pool table, asking for a game. He's a really really good pool player, in fact, he's a snoooker player. He only played against our best there, which meant, he played against TPA only, and out of Me, teck, wei zhou and kenneth, only kenneth lost. And i really loved my match, cause i cleared him, haha, anyway, winning him gains respect from him. I mean, you can hate him and speak bad of him, but to us, whenever we see him, we feel good, cause we know, he's under me, i owned him, haha, its a good way to get back at people you don't like other that speaking behind his back and hating him that much, cause when he sees you, however bad he might treat you, he would respect you and wouldn't talk so much cause he got owned, hahaha. Have a nice day everyone!

Personal Achievements

Today has been my happiest day for a long long time. Friday's always seem to make me high in terms of progression in affection. It happens every friday, so i look forward to fridays every week. So anyway, although we had the a math sets test, and although i'm gonna fail it cause i have still many things about it i'm unsure of, it isn't gonna keep me from being happy. Yep, then after school, we were around the canteen, waiting for our ''cue'' to be able to head to safra. And me and darren were discussing on ''vibrato''. I mean, almost all the oldies singers have that ''vibrato'' voice and they've trained for a very long while. And i know someone very close to me that has that voice, and that's my father, my father's a good singer, i guess, he even recorded an album for us to listen, and i asked him how to produce a vibrato, and yep, he said what i always hear, to use your stomach, your diaphragm and not your throat, who doesn't know that? Well, he said i'll have to keep training if i wanted a voice like his, and he told me i should play the piano for him one day when he sings on stage, it'll be like the father son, duo, but i wouldn't want to, maybe till i complete grade 8, which will be like, centuries later.

So anyway, me, darren, teck and kenenth made our way to safra, of course, joined by our new member, borath and his friends. I started out playing snooker with wei zhou, starting a day in safra by playing snooker helps a lot, it helps calms the heart for real playing, because snooker requires enourmous amounts of patience and accuracy, a single twitch might result in a loss of points. And yeah, wei zhou was playing like a darn pro as usual, but i did make a marked improvement. Then after that, i proceeded to the pool table, where i played with wei zhou too. Then i borrowed darren's borrowed ipod and listend to quando like one million times while playing, and yeah, yohanus challenged me, i didn't play properly, i didn't intend to, i was singing away instead, and yohanus kept asking me to play seriously, but i insisted on singing, and kenneth was telling me about table 7's interest in playing pool, and he asked if i wanted to challenge them, as i was listening to music, i kinda spoke really loudly and kenneth immediately pulled away my ear phones and told me not to say loudly, ahha. Then after that, borath must have sensed my lousy playing and yeah, he challenged me. Yeah, and before that, teck siang ran over with that ecstatic face of his to inform us he cleared the table!!! Oh my goodness, teck siang cleared the table! To those who do not understand the meaning, it simply means, his opponent broke the pack of 15 balls, it was a dry break, and teck siang cleared all seven of his balls while his opponent pocketed non in one turn. I was so happy for him, every pool player has his first time! haha, I congratulate Lee Teck Siang on his clearing. Yeah then i kinda expected a normal match with borath. Then i broke, and potted the yellow. Then i started pocketting and pocketting, and darren said, ''clear table! Wah!'' Only then i realised i was really clearing the table! woohoo! then i positioned for everything really well, then when i was in perfect postition for my last solid ball and the black, i was already in joy!! And i did it! I cleared the table for the first time in my entire life!! haha, wahoo!!!! Then rattitya or something, (whom teck cleared) walked over to our table, and i heard borath telling him, he clear table leh! I haven't even hit a ball then he cleared. Then i found it really funny, haha, rattitya got cleared and when he walked over, his pal was cleared too, haha, what a coincidence, its really like they lost a big war, both of their flanks got heavily hit. That'll show them the prowess of TPA, although borath is already in TPA

Then later that evening, kenneth proceeded to challenge a lone ranger at table 11, his friends were playing snooker, and kenneth challenged him. Kenneth later told me he lost, and he wasn't happy, cause he wasn't really good. Then teck went over to challenge him, and won an impressive 2-0 match. Then, of course, my heart itched, then i walked over to ask him too, his expression was really funny, he was like " Huh? again ah?'' haha, he has been attacked repetetively. He looked pretty old, probably in his late thirties. I won my first match, and all his friends were helping him and stuff, but i didn't mind much. He won the 2nd. I was really nervous when i played the 3rd, but i found, i didn't play seriously, i didn't even aim properly as i would for serious matches against strangers but i found myself missing. I has a 5 and the 8 left, and he had one 8 left. When i saw that his 8 was at the jaw of the mid pocket, i thought he must have won, so i left the table to pay for the table, when i heard ''hexun!'' not after 5 steps and realise he missed, haha. Then the TPA were like, "good psyching skills hexun!" haha, i did not intend to bring mind trickery into my game, i won that game. Then when he paid for that table, wei zhou challenged him again, i described this guy as a near death insect, and we were all flies, sucking the juice out of him, one by one, and now, the insect's gonna die. Lol, that was what we thought would happen but wei zhou started by giving that guy a lot of chance, then it was too late and wei zhou lost, haha. Yeah, but anyway, the insect was kinda sucked dry, ahha.

I think TPA should have an achievements list, like who we beat, how old was that person we beat, and what remarkable thing we did. And yeah, we're pretty impressed with ourselves, we've beaten people from every age group, from young teens, to mature adults aged like 40-50, and i had a match with a 70 pluser where i almost won, and of course, how could i forget that chubby relief teacher from sch, i wanna know his name, i'm so proud to have won him, he's a really good player.. And so ends another chapter of my trips to safra and my experience with the game.
