Earthquake

There was a earthquake felt at the area that i live in yesterday.Was to deeply in sleep when everybody else in my house was panicking.Next time gt fire or wat at nith,i'll be the 1st to die.

Went to turf city to run the national cross country route in a combined training with the track team.The route was quite similar to the macritchie route that mshs used to take 4 the annual x- country except the slopes are steeper and there's an occational horse shit lying on the ground.Dun know why i managed to get quite a acceptable time in.Felt damn tired after that.Then after the run gt a taste of my own medcine.B4 i used to tease pple saying he or she likes blah blah.Now become my turn sia.Aloy associated me with some gal from track that i had nvr seen b4 in my entire life sia.The whole team was like making fun lah.Come on lah,even how "desperate"that i would become in the future,i would not settle with any gal.Damn funny,the chinese were trying to speak in malay so that the person(whoever her name is) dun know we talking about her."Pelumpuan ke baju puteh".I think she would kill herself after being associated with me.Watever lah.Bowling "orienatation" tomorrow,looking forward to it.Can haolian my "mediocre"skills to the gals.Haha.

Just a bit pissed now

Just came back from malaysia.My grandmother's funeral.Thanks to some smart traditional rule,we were not allowed to watch any bit of tv,listen to any radio or surf any trace of internet for five days.Just found out that i really rellied on these things to survive.Somehow managed to survive these five days.My grandma's funeral was a very lively event.Hundreds or even thousands of pple came every night.No surprise considering that she have 104 direct decedants.She was a well respected woman at the area she lived in,her death was even featured in the newspaper.

Not that sad compared to some of my other relatives.Dun know why,maybe my angryness far outweigh my sadness.Or how should i put it,her death was indirectly caused by a conflict between mordern ideas and traditional beliefs.While normally when a person fall sick,he or she would be admitted to a hospital.However,my grandmother was taken out of the hospital shortly after she was admitted coz the elders belived that"it is better to die at home than at hospital."Come on lah,she could be saved if she remained at the hospital.One should not give up just like that.I'm not blaming them,i'm just blaming the beliefs that chose to belive in.

Broke

Soccer chalet on thursday.Bowling roll-off,class and soccer bbq on friday.Man i have a packed schedule during the last few days in the holiday.Went to book the bbq pit 4 the class bbq on my way to the chalet.Was shocked to find out the there are only 2 bbq pits left.The ones at the end of east coast,near the national sailing center.1st time sia,bbq pits in high demand,maybe that's an indication for them to increase supply of the bbq pits in eastcoast.Consolation is that i managed to get hold of the pit beside the 2 chio girls ahead of me in the queue,and that i can see my classmates tired look after their super long walk to the pit.Slacked around at the chalet b4 returning home.

Woke up early on friday morning to take part in the school's bowling team roll-off for the team taking part in the national schools tournament this year.Damn did not get a proper night of sleep during this holidays.Did not do as well as i expected in the roll-off as i have expected.Bowled an average of 159.5,2 total pinfalls off the needed 160 to qualify 4 an automatic spot to make the team this year.Instead,have to go 4 extra training and an additional roll-off if i want to make the team.

Went back to the chalet abit tired.As i stepped into the room,it looked like world war 3 had taken place in the room the nite b4.Wat u expect when u put 20 half naked guys in a room.Guessed wat we did at the soccer chalet?Play soccer of course.6 to 8 players playing winning eleven is very fun too,can play the offside trap manually.Left the guys and went to the class bbq.Cycled all the way there.It's about 7 kms from the chalet to the pit.Not that great of a distance on a bike,but can u imagine how's its like 4 all those that walked.Haha.Low attendance as expected,due to the location and cost.Who's the bloody cukoo who booked the pit at such a remote place?Played volley ball,provided some free entertainment or should i say comedy for the group of girls at the next pit.Volleyball is just not our game.Had to cycle all the way back to the chalet to replace the bike coz the front wheel was coming off the bike.Had a horrid(t) time bringing the bike back.The bike just could not steer and the wheel was very wobbly.Then happliy made the trip back to the other end of east coast on the new bike.Had a mini match-making session b4 making my way back again to the chalet.Played a mini 2 player volleyball game using a beach ball.It's the only time that the entire team bonded.The refreeing was very funny,giving yellow(1st warning) and read(2nd warning) cards like nothing like that.Played somemore of winning 11 b4 going to sleep.Irawan just kept on disturbing me the entire nite could nt really get to sleep.Went to play pool at parkway the next day after checking out the next day.Very tired now..

It's make or break on monday.Greenview we have a date.........

Had to wake up at 6 in the morning today to go 4 soccer training.Wa lao the training from 8 to 12 man,noordin trying to kill us during the holidays.2.4 b4 the start of training is very kind 4 us.I rather run 2.4 non-stop than running 5 km with intervals.For the 1st time in my life,i actually did quite well in training.Noordin actually praised me,another 1st sia.Was told that i could be starting against greenview this monday.Dun know want to be happy or sad ah,dun want to screw up and lose the unbeaten home record built up over 2 years.Everybody knows that greenview is famous 4 their dirty play.Gt soccer chalet afterwards,sian soggy biscuit is banned by noordin.Where's my motivation to go to the chalet.....................No more soggy biscuit

Went fishing at Bishan Park yesterday,yes of all places Bishan Park.Its was like "回到第一次".This is the place where my love of fishing started3 or 4 years ago.A hobby which brought me to the jetties all around Singapore.Labrador park,sembawang,east coast,lower pierce,upeer seletar and so on.Met up with my usual fishing kakis near Marcus's house,bought some goldfish for bait and off we went.Poor goldfishes,suffered a horrible death,being hooked on its fin waiting to be attacked by some fierce fishes with nowhere to escape.Despite our goldfishes being repeatedly attacked by luohans,we did not manage to hook any of them.However we did manage to catch a snakehead with our last bait.Quite a cool fish to catch,put up a good fight,attracted a lot of attention from joggers nearby.Went home happy.
Damn,the pain from my little finger is killing me.I clumsily landed on my finger while training.No sprays,ice packs and pain killers in helping at all.Signing off......

The "East derby"

The so called east derby between tpjc and mj was an interesting affair.Lots of drama was unfolded as the game went home.Minutes before the kickoff the stands at mj was already packed with fans.Pple from their respective schools each occupying half of the stand.Game started,expectedly the game was very fast paced,tough tackles were flying everywhere,emotions were running high.The fans present created an extremly good atmosphere,good for a game of football.There was drumming,cheers from pple from their respective schools.Tpjc could have had taken a 3 goal lead within the 1st 20mins,however the chances were not converted thanks to some woeful finishing.Mj slowly settled into the game and created many chances through their national player Zul coming down the flank.Thank to a water tight defence and some great goalkeeping,the score remained goalless at halftime.However the every so tight defence was broken twice in quick succession just after the start of the 2nd half.A sudden heavy downpour created another twist in the game.The pitch reminded me of the national stadium pitch during the myanmar,s'pore game.Game eventually ended with a score of 2-0 to mj..It was a great game,wished that i was playing in it instead of sitting at the bench
