Penang's Cruise

Lazy me to update this blog now. I was so enjoyed in the holiday that I didn't spend time here. Well, I think I'm going to update it once per week, I supposed. 


It was a crazy weekend. My uncle family took me all the way to Penang for cruising. Star Cruise Pisces. Well, it'd been awhile. My cousin bro drove us all along the highway to Penang. We reached there quite early. So I ended up strolling around Queensbay Mall with my cousin bro while the others do shopping. Shopping can be quite boring when you can't find pretty girls around. Gah. But the mall was kinda huge and my legs were kinda tired. Shopping does not do me good. Later, we had lunch for the day, some shop selling mama's food.


In the afternoon, my cousin bro drove us round the island to Rasa Sayang and Hard Rock area. I went into Hard Rock for the first time, just for sight-seeing, and not staying for the night. Maybe the next trip. Ah, I took some photos for the trip, but ain't uploading them yet. Boarded up the cruise, was waiting for the departure while having my dinner. No international buffet, ah.


Honestly, I can't find much to do on the ship rather than strolling around and enjoying the strong wind. Salty feel of the air, I can barely stand still. I sat on the bench and found myself alone. I was like, 'where's everyone?'. Oh, busy spending money and in casino. Ah, I still can't get in. I found myself in another place - theater with pictures but no sound. How funny. There are many things in the ship, but none suits me plus it's damn expensive. I slept for the night in my cabin with cousin bro. Woke up for breakfast then bye bye shippie. It was fun, at least I went on a cruise and Penang. Holiday seemed to pass quickly this time. I had basketball sessions with my friends. Love it, the basketball gang is growing larger and larger. HAA

Holiday startin'

Yes, trial is over. SPM is not. I might as well pick up my books now.


Well, nothing feels better than total relaxation and fun with friends. I had been away from my blog so much that I don't even know where to start. So lets start randomly.


I had a terrific paintball game with bunch of buddies. I was excited on the concept that I will be shooting and being shot at a few minutes later. How awesome will that be. We had a briefing then it was game on. We geared up and entered the field. I was at a lost of mind. Okay, here's the trigger, there's the bunker. It can't be that hard. So I played and survived the first round. Other rounds later, I wasn't that lucky. Pellets came from the other side, and coincidentally hit my neck and hand, nothing else but there. Ah. Can't they just take a headshot? I had neckshots, less headshots. Haa. It was total fun and excitement. It was a whole new experience and activity to venture into. I should try it more often. 


Later, they hang over and played for the rest of the day, well almost. Another blast. PS3 was so cool and the graphic was amazingly clear. I can almost feel it off the screen. The game was such nice and thrilling. I want to play the game again. Ah.


Basketball is another thing that never fail to excite me. I enjoyed the game again with friends back there. Come on. Shoot the hoop.


Time flies, especially we are having fun. Right?

Back to school. XD

Back to school. This line seems to be quite common, or rather lame. But I am really back to school. I took the results of the earlier mid-year examination this week. The results were okay except for Chinese which I need to struggle and improve it abit. Abit wasn't even enough, I reckon. Being a Chinese but can't get excellent result for Chinese is kinda weird to me. I don't wanna be a banana. LOL. Otherwise, my result sheet can be a lot weirder with that B+. 


Damn, I hate myself for being that into FIFA World Cup. Fever indeed. I was watching football matches everyday. This year, World Cup was certainly interesting with all those unexpected turnovers and upset. Italy and France checked out and booked air tickets home early in group stage. The reigning champion was not up to Slovakia's challenge. Surprisingly, South Africa sweep France home with their first win in World Cup. Both Italy and France can't even get a win this year. Weird. England made an early exit too after losing to Germany strong side. One thing for sure, that shot by Lampard was certainly in and a GOAL, but the referee didn't gave it. That was so controversial that replay can even confirm it. That's what made World Cup more interesting. Portugal's complete dominance over North Korea was even impressing. Gonna watch Netherlands tonight. XD


After all, my life's mine. I live the way I want it to be. I am happy with my results but I know that I can do better, hopefully in SPM - I can get straight As. My future will not be entirely determined by destiny or luck. I write my own future. I walk my own way. XD


p/s: Dickson's back. Hee.

Youth Empowerment Camp (YEC) - Day 2

It was an early morning when I woke up. I took my breakfast in the multipurpose hall(MPH). Then, I listened to what Mr.Boh and Dr.Sia had to say. They talked a great deal on change and passion. I was inspired indeed by them. They made a great pair together when they were 'running the show'. Haa. 

After that, Dennis had a session with us about careers and interest. I kinda like swam into the INVESTIGATE 'island'. I met friends there and started building our life-saving boat. We built a simple yet workable boat. However, we had so much plans in our heads that we don't have enough time to carry them out. In the end, the boat kinda floated but crashed abit during the 'fall'. We didn't expect that 'in the middle of the sea'. LOL. 

After lunch, those alumni went back here and shared their past experience with us. It was funny when they went into a field which is not directly related to the course they studied. But it was nice for them to share it. Later, we had that O.P.T.I.O.N.S session. Those alphabets meant so much. 

Fun time. I was grouped into Group 6. Yeah! I met so many friends and played so many games with them. We did our best in every activities and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Nice time mates! Those activities were fun and exciting especially when we had a 'shoes fight' instead of pillow fight. Haa. We came up with the strategy first. Haa. The 'train' thingy was fun and exhausting too. We persevered throughout all the activities. Right?

Dinner was served in the bakery. After some rest, I headed back to MPH for more activities. When I walked into MPH, I saw the video 'Nobody'. A thought went across my mind - 'Dance?'. I was right and I had bad feeling about it. However, when I started to dance along with my group mates, it was so much fun that I forgot that I don't dance. I blended in with them and dance along with the music happily. I was surprised when Group 6 did the best dance! I wanted more dance. Bah...

After dances, we had an activity which we need to cross over the other side through 'holes'. With the help of everyone, we tried to pass everyone through one by one. I was one of them. I felt like, ah family. Haa. All passed through except two as we ran out of chances. Haa. I was even more surprised when Group 6 was announced as the best group by Dr.Sia. Yeah! We got hats. We are all leaders in the group! yeah!

We didn't stop there. We went to the bakery for the night. I had a fun time drinking and eating with all my friends that I met in the camp. Yahoo! I even watched FIFA World Cup. We chatted and laughed at jokes. When we were playing Truth or Dare, we laughed more and couldn't stop there. Haa. Details, please refer to facebook. Haa. In the Truth or Dare, there were so many highlights that I can't finish blogging. Fun and nice. This lasted until about 12a.m. Then I went to split ways with them to the snooker room to meet my school friends. When I was on the way back, I saw them playing basketball. I joined in and played with them until 1a.m. again. So much fun! Haa. I shot in two balls. I was happy and energized. After the match, I walked back with them to the hostel. Actually we chatted for a longer time then only we entered our hostel. Haa. Thanks for the fun to Shu Ren, Lydia, Jia Wern, Nishant, Ricky, Wei Yang, Ariff, Leow, Jing Lun and Jin Fai. Haa. Yeah!

Telematch

Geez. Craps. The world had turned upside down and back again. So fun and exciting.


To start off, there was the telematch where other schools came for the first time - Poi Lam and Ave Maria Convent. So, I went there early and played like there was no tomorrow until lunch time. I resumed my playing with the station game after lunch. I was exhausted but contented with what I played and experienced. Simply memorable. For once, I had my first basketball match competition style in my life. HAHAHA!!! Although we lost, somehow badly, I had fun just for playing. I don't care much about the scores back then. Haa. I played almost everything, except for soccer. Haa. Sweat all over my shirt and I was relaxed. Wind blew and I welcomed it. Yeah!


Station Game - Fun! My team played each station with so much laughters and joy. We smiled and ran. In the treasure hunt, I was excited to be involved. Ran, ran, ran! Found it! End the hunt when we hunted down the last man OC. Haa. He was even charged down by Shiuh Jye in the end when Shiuh Jye found him. Haa. Too bad, we played with the OCs only at each station. No other teams to compete with. Haa. Anyway, just nice. 


I was maths freaked today. I just knew half of the papers' questions. Haa.

January ending...

Geez. I left my blog unattended too long. Messy and 'old' now. 


In fact, I was busy. Schooling like always. Just sukan tara was underway now. And nothing feels better than cranking music in my room. Hah! 
A few more days to weekends, I'm looking forward to a weekend which I will both dread and enjoy. Life is ironic in its unique way. Gotta have to record Nilam on Saturday. May be the Christmas and New Year or whatever its name is on Sunday. That event will be just another reason for me to relax myself a bit, unstrung myself from the invisible net which had trapped me for awhile. I was confined like ever, Freedom never come easy, as usual. Lol...


Today, PE wasn't as fun as I expected. We ran two laps, easy. Another laps of squating of all kinds, tiring! When I got to the basketball court and played, I barely play even though I was in the court running here and there with dozens of guys. I felt like a dummy, am I? Geez, I gonna play well, you will see.


One thing went bad, my legs were numb after I sat down for three periods. May be I stressed them too much.  Fine, nothing to be worried about. Besides, I had tonnes of worries.


Percy Jackson. I was addicted. I am still.. Half God. Half Human. All Hero. Nice. The first movie is gonna premiere soon in February. I want to watch it so badly. hah! For the mean time, read the books. Hee...

Two days ago, we rocked Si Mun's birthday celebration. 


On Friday, we went back to school for lots of fun. I played basketball for hours non-stop with my fellow friends. I just shot, shot, shot... can't do the moves yet. Damn, those guys were pro. We had a game between ourselves. Hah! The game almost exhausted me, but not yet. The fun and thrills kept me on playing and shooting. All the hell of fun went down like heaven's stars. I glanced towards my friends which were always supportive. I'm glad to have them by my side. Always. That day was meant to be till night. Wait and see. LoL. I was really thrilled.


We walked to the 'Tong Sui Street' to have our nice dinner. Alongside my friends, I walked along the road. The night was near. Wind blew at my face softly, just gently enough. I loved the wind and everything else. Just nice. Oh yea. We had a pretty good meal with chats all the way. Then, we walked back as rain seemed to be approaching. It seemed to. Hah...


Back in the library. LoL. They spoke ghost stories again. Cool. I explored the room under the stairs with Chin Seng. Creepy and cool. Oh yea. Then, the celebration started. Birthday songs sang at various languages. Si Mun and Sin Cyin even sang in korean. Wow. The birthday cake was creamy with chocolate. Nice. The gift was a wonderful board handmade, full of wishes. LoL. Everything was so right. It went well, and ended well. So, off I went. 


Maybe I could use a new name. How about 'midnight blogger'? give me some opinions on this.

For the past few days, I had been busy. For what? mostly library's stuffs. Not done yet, in the progress which is gonna be messy. Oh gosh, I even broke my personal record - skipping lessons just for those stuffs. Well, at least the teachers understand. Some... Class Reader is troublesome. I can't just collect all the books or fines from the students. In fact, I did notify them early before their exams. However, they ignored it over and over again. Now, the consequence is this mess, like a snowball after just a rock was rolled down a snow cliff. And the worst bit is, I am in that part of the avalanche. Bless me through this. Hope so. Not that I can't, but time is short now. Next year, those students should change their attitude towards the better side. Or not, there will be more mess. I meant it, literally.


Yesterday, I had a tiring day. I stayed in the library for almost the day. I was assigned by the teacher to type a NILAM organisation chart for my wonderful NILAM board. Later, I finished it with some efforts. Oh my, I needed to type another two charts as I did quite well. Hah! Great. Another hour for that. I was running in and out, up and down in the school. I had been attending to more teachers than before these days. I need to talk to teachers over matters every time. And they just won't stop. Hah! 


In the class, classmates played chinese and western chess, Monopoly Malaysia Edition, PSP and some read. Basically, anything happens there. Our Bio teacher kept teaching '5 min' lesson. Great. Better than none. At last, we finished our history syllabus for the year. One day, they played basketball for many periods, even 6. I just played ping pong for awhile. It was fun.


Ming Keat had his birthday's celebration. I was sorry that I can't go for it. Sorry. Happy Birthday to him. He had a gift made of metal balls, something that a boss would put in front of his great office desk. Hah! I don't know how to describe it. And Ming Keat told me it involves some physics principles. LoL. Great gift! By the way, Science Club is going to start off with a 'bang' next year. Science fair, quiz, trip, water rocket launching and many more. Hope all will be smooth.

Barca's splendid(shot+header) = Champions

All hail the champion !

Barca was crowned the winners of the match with 2-0 win over Manu.

Yeah !

Shot from Eto'o + Header from Messi = 2 goals !

Barca played well. They conquered the midfield, actually the whole stadium ! Earned the title of European Champion !

Sadly, I can't see their winning first hand. I'd to sleep for my exams. Wish my exams could 'win' like them too.

I watched the encore telecast. Well, it's amazingly the best football ever played.

Barca vs Manu Around The Corner

BARCELONA ~ SPANISH GIANTS

MAN UNITED ~ ENGLAND's RED DEVILS

THE CLASH OF GIANTS, WHO WILL WIN ?

In Rome's Champion League Final, we shall witness the making of history.

<<<  This magnificent team that conquered the 08/09 season like storm. 

I'd my 'bet' on them. They'll make the stadium go wild.

      LIONEL MESSI 

   He should've surpassed C'Ronaldo, Barcelona FC's last resort. (maybe not). Barca has so many talents.

                                                                                                                     

     SAMUEL ETO'O 

    Fast, but is he fast and well enough to penerate Manu's defence?                                                   

     THIERRY HENRY

     Ex-Arsenal striker, he's been busy scoring. May his magical touch create miracle?

Will the usual formation works this time?

MY Encounter with a PERAK retired goalie

A few days back, I was playing soccer with my bro as usual.

At first, I played badminton. For hours. Tired. 

Then, I went for soccer.

In the Park

I walked past an Indian guy..in his sixty..(prediction) playing with his daughther.

He surprised me by asking me for a shuttlecock .. in Cantonese .. Wow ..

Well, I've extras..why not?

He got what he wanted - his thang..he continued to play.

Few minutes passed, or rather half an hour. He asked us who is the goalie.

That made me feel awkward. How to answer? : No goalie. LOL

He offered himself to play the goalie. Wow .. why not? (again)

Well, he did some pretty good goalkeeping. So, out of curiousity, I asked him.

' Are you a player? '

' Hmm..A ye, I'm a Perak goalie. Retired now '  I'm shocked.

' Wow .. no wonder ! ' 

Both of us were surprised. Is it for real or fake?  question marks : ???

Haa..he went on telling stories on his (legend?) xD

I went from WOW to ALAMAK...LOL 

We played, all right ! 

' You play often here? '

' Yes. '

' What's your tel so that I can call you when want to play with you? '

' ......name is James.Bond. '

I thought : ' Damn, he's playing a fool of me ! '

' Or without the Bond. '

' Want me to show you my ID? '

' No, thanks ! '

Phew, he'd GUTS.
