To my section-mates:

Hey people, it's been a week but ORD loh!!

First and foremost, my stay here at LARC V has been really meaningful and nothing short of an eye opener. My appointment has allowed me to learn much from you guys, the superiors, the n00bs and most importantly befriended a wonderful bunch of people.
Furthermore, Sea Thunder presented a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to sail with a navy vessel (unless u sign on). I'm sure most of us had fun through out the exercise (psping all day, liberty, bottle of jack drama, cowboy Pete etc).

Secondly, screw the SAF. Their system used to weigh who's better or lesser is flawed. Not all that glitter is gold - that much we have all witnessed (our dear golden bayonet). Conversely, I'd say I'm bloody lucky to have such capable section mates, people who stepped up and fulfilled their responsibilities with much initiative & enthusiasm albeit whining sometimes (especially Chang). You've all proven yourselves to be reliable people with common sense (most impt quality IMHO but isn't so common with our jrs sadly) so much so I don't have to keep looking back as I push forward. Thank you guys.

Thirdly, I hope I've lived up to your expectations of a section commander. When i first met you guys, i told myself to stick with these principles : servant leadership, never pull a commander-men divide and not to indulge in special privileges. I believe that the easiest way to motivate is to get down and get dirty with your section mates, and of course no one likes a douche who pulls rank or tries to differentiate excessively between ranks.

I've tried as much as possible to act upon these principles but there are times where circumstance forbid. My apologies for that. And I'm aware that I tend to scream at people when stressed or annoyed, so apologies for that too.

Lastly, despite the unfortunate social stigma regarding our vocation, I'm glad our batch actually did pretty well. Not many combat units can boast a 100percent ippt silver and marksmen for a whole batch. Skill wise, we were more than competent. Not trying to haolian, I think we're the best there is, the best there was and probably the best ever, amongst all the LARC V coxswains (feel free to prove me wrong), unless LARC V gets an OC more enthusiastic about his job than Maj Oh.

So thanks for reading the whole chunk above. Fair winds and following seas as you all proceed on to the next phase of life.

She's good!

But she's even better.

2011-09-24T02:59:00.000+08:00

I see the light, the tunnel is ending.I came to realize that things i enjoy doing do not seem to appeal much to my close friends, culminating in excessive game time with my WoW character. To all the worried parents, your children are spending too much time on the computer, probably because they have nothing else interesting to do. Though the psychiatrist/psychologists/counselors may advice you to curb your children's computer time albeit forcefully sometimes, really, just find something else that appeals to your child and your worries are gone. Its just a matter of spending unoccupied time appropriately.ORD seems overrated. Seriously. I refuse to believe that people can find so many meaningful/fulfilling activities to occupy the abundant time generated by your release from National Slavery. I suspect i'll be ending up with too much free time with nothing to do but stare into blank space. Then again, its probably just me. That being said, there's so much to accomplish. Getting my first work experience (i've never worked before aside from NS), getting a girlfriend (nothing's ever easy! or i just suck), getting a diving cert, improving my basketball techniques, go on a much needed holiday & r-o-c-k in the USA blah blah blah.And crap, need to brush up my English. My expression skills are horrendous, can't even spell properly these days. The above few lines were filled with so many red squibbles before using the auto correct. Though i can blame it on my currently intoxicated state, where theres not much of a difference between Patricia Mok and Anne Hathaway. Considering English will be my blade & shield some day, much effort is required.

2011-06-25T00:09:00.003+08:00

Today my parents reminded me how awful it is to be dependent on someone/something. Haven't experienced that in a long while so thank you for refreshing such an important life experience. BRAVO.

2011-05-29T21:32:00.001+08:00

SMU it is. Don't make me regret this please. TO GREECE!

2011-05-29T00:31:00.001+08:00

People spend too much time thinking of what to do. There should be more spontaneity in life.

Dilemma between NUS & SMU Law. My guts tell me that SMU will probably provide a more fulfilling uni life, and mold me into a better lawyer as well given their educational methods. NUS though, comes with the prestige & branding, the kind which wins you half the battle just by mentioning it in an interview. That being said, I regretted it sorely the last time I picked prestige. To digress a little, the NUS law faculty has got some really HOT girls.

Friends say NUS is the obvious option. Those in the line say SMU has got potential. How now brown cow? <24hotels

Retrospection

2010 has been a helluva year. New people, experiences, discoveries et cetera. For the record, i ascertained through the nastiest way that mud is tasteless, somehow became qualified to operate the duck-tours and experienced the hydro-planing phenomena which was really traumatizing.

In life, things rarely go the way u want them to. Never made it to OCS and got thrown to a non-combat service vocation (tpt) instead, which really nailed the coffin containing my self-confidence, pride and blahblahblah shut. Took awhile but gradually came to terms with it, though you still have to deal with the occasional stab at your pride manifesting in the form of snide comments meant to mock. Face it, who remembers the physiotherapist who gives Kobe Bryant his daily pre-/post- match treatment that enables no. 24 to perform those miracles on the court? None, people see only the face of the champion in all his glory, they don't give a damn about what made the champion a champion.

Eventually completed my tpt specialist training and got posted to LARC V, basically SAF's ducktours. Met a pretty fun bunch of people there. These guys, like me, felt the same as i did when they received their vocations. But what pained me to see was that they allowed themselves to sink into the stereotypical definitions created by the society, when every single one of them are perfectly capable of handling responsibilities.

Nicht alles, was glänzt ist Gold.

And i hope i'll never ever pull the commander-men divide on my section-mates, which is highly emphasized by the senior commanders sadly.

NS aside, really envious of my peers who made it to med school or universities overseas. Should have listened to my Mum and studied harder then perhaps i could have gotten a scholarship. Each time i see pictures of them living the life abroad adds more regrets to the large stash of regrets that i've accumulated in just 19 short years.

The Next Big Thing.

2010-11-08T10:05:00.004+08:00

This is how you play the piano.

Tadahhh.

2010-08-28T22:34:00.003+08:00

Humbled. For 19 years, there hasn't been a single instance where i had FIVE tries at something and still failed to seal it. Thank god there was a SIXth try and i passed the damned test. Liberation seriously. It really sucked to watch people pass and move on to the next camp while you remained behind. The stress was horrible and the general mood only served to aggravate it, not to mention the mindless mileage clocking that accompanies each failed attempt. I sincerely hope everyone passes eventually.

"Dull the edge of our pride. Sharpen the edge of our humility"

2010-07-15T23:23:00.002+08:00

i know i've got no right to say this, but i'm really tired. Lets just get on with life.

2010-06-21T21:27:00.003+08:00

Tpt supvr course over. Really eventful. Underslung ops, commando flanking, iphone incident etc. Worst still,I was assigned to be section commander during outfield,BLOODY tiring.

Currently given a break from NS now while waiting for the next phase to begin. Pretty bored. There's nothing much to do with everyone preoccupied. Family's gone to HongKong without me. NO GOVERNMENT for the next few days, but this lack of noise needs some getting used to.

Went drinking with army buddies. Visited some pub that is apparently meant for an older age group becoz the others were full(damned world cup, who needs world cup when you have NBA). There was chinese karaoke and waitresses old enough to be your DADADADAJIE.Wth. Almost got drunk, and witnessed my friend hurl SIX times. He couldn't even stand. lol. Ohh well, i'm never going back again, definitely not my kind of place.

2010-05-29T23:45:00.002+08:00

Mundane.

2010-04-18T23:08:00.002+08:00

With heavy hearts, i tread my path, knowing this is not what i wanted. But try i will, to make the best of it. People say i'm lucky but i think not. The whole world minus me wants my vocation. Truth be told, i think its lame. I rather be out there chionging mountains. Suck thumb and serve, there is NO choice.

Everyone, i wish you all the best.

Pop, goes the weasel.

2010-04-10T00:25:00.003+08:00

POPed. Just a little disappointed that i couldn't attend the GP because of a fever despite having tanked all the shit BMT threw at me. These 2 months flew by really fast. I think my section had some really great people, people who i'll probably be able to trust my life with, if we actually went to war. Brothers in arms, brothers proud to be. Give me a chance again and i'll still wanna be L3408.

Many first-times in that short first-time. Bald, held a gun, played at the SAF shooting arcade both indoors & outdoors, threw grenade, slept in mud, dug a coffin-sized hole, walked bloody long distances with 15kg on, blah blah blah. In retrospect, BMT was pretty fun apart from the early mornings, horrendous food ( still beats tls home's food ) and BOOK INs.

Its true when they say that NS moulds your character. Became a lot more appreciative of the simple things around me. Home, family, my bed, mum's cooking, friends. even things like chairs and clouds ( coz they shade you from the damned sun as you do your BCCT). Responsibility for your own actions as well. Had to do guard duty for that. oh well.

Hope i get to command school for my next phase of NS. OCS would be nice but i just can't be bothered to give my best. Probably be SISPEC for me.

2010-01-16T01:32:00.004+08:00

darkness enfolds, silence beholds.

Sipping cold milo in the dark, I reflect. Why does my basketballskills suck so much. Why did i not study harder for the big A. Why can't i even hold a 10 word convo with my dad without it degenerating into a shouting match. Why can't i be bothered to mend the breaking bonds that really matters. Why did i let the lines blurrr. Why did i lose the dota match. Why do the dishes not wash themselves. Why have i done nothing but loaf around for the past month.

Then you curse. Curse your lack of determination to improve. Curse your own immaturity for failing to recognize its importance. Curse your stupidity for making the wrong moves. Curse the dishes for not being able to auto-wash. Curse ur natural inclination towards sloth.

But as the milo finishes, i can gladly say i enjoyed my day, regardless of how lame it was. So who gives a damn. Carpe Diem, enjoy life, there is no tomorrow till the clock strikes 12.

Can you escape your Scripted Destiny ?

2009-08-11T23:42:00.000+08:00

3in2out/3out2in Offense
Main Players
2 post players, one at each side.
1 screener near the three point line, top side.
1 right wing (or left) penetrator/ shooter on standby.
1 point guard/driver.

General Strategy Description
The post players try to get themselves open, and making use of them may win some points (post plays).

For the point guard, he can drive in as soon as the screener sets it up, into the MIDDLE of the paint area. Immediately the defence should converge, but our post players can help to form a sort of a screen/wall and easy layup. This is obviously the simplest scenario, but in reality we may have to work out other variations of screens by the post, because setting screens is a good way to get open.

Alternatively, the defence is drawn in, our post players back off and get the easy lob and score. Simultaneously, the wing player should form a horizontal line with the driver and maintain good spacing for a horizontal pass out and shot. (Triple Drive Threat)

We can also set up the right wing penetration by driving slightly left before passing (which makes defenders turn their attention to the left).

“Last resort” is the 3 point shot, just pivot and pass out to the top.
If we happen to fail, can just dribble out and reset also.

Another possible play is the give and go. Feed to high post player, who dishes it to the wing player. But to do this, we need to force them to high post by making our post players a shooting or scoring threat. If they play high, cuts or spins to the basket may make easy alley lobs.

Weaknesses of This Offense
1. Post players don’t know how to play in the post. Can be resolved by learning and practising. Most importantly, know how GET OPEN and be a threat.
2. Definitely need more practice passing (and getting open to get the pass of course) under high pressure and in extremely crowded conditions without turning over the ball.
3. The penetrators set up many plays, so they must have good ball control and dribble in, but do not force bad shots. This needs improvement.
4. Massive camping under the basket and non-responsiveness to penetration. This is hard to resolve because they are making us shoot from outside. But this offense is precisely devised to deal with this problem. Our post players SHOULD know how to play post and become a SCORING THREAT with lethal move so that we can still score EVEN if they are camping. We should have reliable outside shooters and strong inside rebounding presence which hopefully forces them to spread out more. If they spread out more, this makes them susceptible to aggressive (but smart) dribble penetration, especially from the wing, since they like to camp in the middle! Since they force us to shoot, we get good shots nearer (which has higher %). With simultaneous cuts to the basket, we should be able to keep the defence on their toes, and find open people.
5. Despite this, our offense is still in its infancy and everyone is playing rather statically which ALLOWS, PERMITS, and BEGS the DEFENCE to CAMP. For now, I don’t know how to resolve this yet, but I guess fast breaks, scoring in transition and more screening can help this issue.

Great to see that everyone's improving, at least we can proudly say we are playing real basketball. Finally. Shall do some sort of an evaluation of everyone. Take it with a pinch of salt ya?

Aaron Er : Awesome strength and jumping ability. His speed and acceleration is 2nd only to Yiyang's. However, lack of experience and ball control prevents him from maximising his attributes and often contributes to his inability to convert possesions. Inadequate stamina recovery is reflected in his lack of defensive play during prolonged matches. Bursto Power Ichiban but needs more practice in handling balls. Room for improvement in his shooting/laying forms as well. He is able to activate, what we believe to be an aimbot, for a certain amount of time, during which any attempts at the hoop usually converts.

Charles : His rather small but compact(dense) physique allows him to hold his own against the larger players. Blessed with excellent ball control, he is able to execute AND1 tricks that often leaves the defender blur and eating his dust. He tends to finish off his layups by incorporating a tiny hook, making it difficult for defenders to reject his shots. However, it is possible for him to improve by fine tuning his techniques to reduce fouling incidents and perhaps learn techniques that require less physical contact as it puts him at a disadvantage due to his size.

ChongKeng : A well balanced and hardworking player. Constant practice is key to polishing his techniques. Despite his small physique, he has a high tendency to locate himself under the basket which is often dominated by giants such as YY. To hold his ground in the presence of such ppl, it is advisable to pick up some posting skills. It must also be mentioned that he has an uncanny tendency to gain possesion from turnovers. Call it luck or wadever but he gets the ball. Too bad.

Kaiyang : His wtfomgbbq ability to stretch his body leads us to suspect that he might haz consumed a Gomu Gomu no Mi. His techniques revolve mainly around the imba flexibility of his body. A tradeoff about such body types is that he requires some charging time before shooting, giving the opponent opportunities to prevent the shot. His underbasket is rivalled by few, and is frequently demonstrated by him scoring with 3 or more defenders in his face. Often carries out his trademark technique that involves him attempting to homerun, clotheslining a defender, followed by an oscar-worthy cry of pain.

KevinLee : A shooter, his 3 pointers are 2nd only to Shawn's. His near perfect nba shooting form is a result of prolonged practice with free throws. Evidence can be found @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSCfhTtXIU

His blood, sweat, grit and determination for bball is truely commendable. In order to be a truely good bballer player, he needs to attain a balance in his techniques by improving his lay-ups. He has a tendency to lift off too early/wrongly during layups when faced with a defender, resulting in a low conversion rate for his layups. Effort can be made to improve ball control to facilitate usage of higher level evasion techniques. Keep the ball lower, make the transition smoother.

KevinSeng : The most improved player. Despite his disadvantaged height, he has developed into an underbasket player with great rebounding abilities. His improvement can be attributed mainly to the posting/twists/fakes skillz that he picked up. However he has a tendency to hesitate for too long when posting, giving the opponent a chance to pre-empt him and also a habit of adding too much spin to the ball when laying up. Room for improvement but keep up the good play.

LikTak : The shortest player in the group. As a result of his inferior height, he has developed a unique shooting form that makes his shots near impossible to block. Rarely execute layups due to a phobia of being rejected, mainly induced by Shawn. His experience of playing with taller players ALL the time plays a part in developing his good passing techniques. A considerable playmaker.

Shawn : A highly experienced ex-bball team player, MVP of ALL time. Superb ball control, imba 3 point bombing, gawd-like underbasket. An extremely agile player who makes fakes and plays appear to be effortless. His adept ability to position himself gives an impression that him is everywhere at anytime. His unconventional&guailan layup techniques often amazes both teammates and opponents alike. A role model for all, I myself picked up my basic techniques from him. It must be noted that he rarely plays seriously though he pwns everyone all the time.

Yiyang : The giant. The playmaker. The tallest and fastest player of the bunch. Usually gets rebounds effortlessly. His large hands allows him a stronger grip over the ball. Coupled with his height and speed, he is extremely difficult to defend against, much less reject. To date i've only managed to do it twice. He appears to lack drive, which explains why he rarely jumps to the fullest height possible and why he rather pass than finishing up the play himself. For him, its a matter of wanting it or not.

Zhen : One of the 2 bulkiest players among the bunch. Due to his bulk, he is able to drive efficiently, usually finishing up with his trademark air reverse or anticlimaxshot. However he is rather predictable, making it easy to reject his shots. He is also well knowned for his ass technique, which is used mainly for posting. With his height and well built bulk, he has great potential. By introducing a little variation in his techniques and some practice for shooting, he will be a great bball player.

Lol what about me?

2009-05-04T17:31:00.001+08:00

wouldn't it be nice if school is stopped? its like the most effective counter measure luh!

2009-05-03T23:16:00.002+08:00

1) missed hell lot of shots today

2) missed ALL layups today. WHAT THE FK.

3) people who usually pose no trouble are troubling me

4) people who i usually get pass ezily are not so easy

5) people who usually can't reject me are rejecting me

6) rebounds are becoming harder to get.

7) where is my grip?

Have I become weaker, slower, noober?

Citius, Altius, Fortius.

Band of Brothers

2009-04-11T01:18:00.005+08:00

SJIMB GOLD WITH HONOURS SYF'09. Great job kids!

Felt nostalgia as i browsed through the band photos. Truth be told, i hated band. Hated the way its stupid system demanded respect for individuals just because they were the appointed leaders, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. But amidst this facet of forced respect, was a camaraderie forged through pain, sweat and endless practices. One that is unique, unfounded anywhere else. It wasn't till after graduation that i realized how much it meant to me. It isn't like the hi-bye relationship with your classmate in JC, but something that runs much much deeper. Get it?

Anw, Shinjuku Incident is quite a meaningful movie. It depicts the ulgy side of humanity, showing the transformation of a person from being contented with just a roof over his head, to the leader of a drug syndicate showing how power & greed erodes and corrupts the morals of a person. Seresly worth watching.

FKING EEEEEEEETCHYYYYYYYYY

2009-04-02T22:54:00.002+08:00

“Come on Darren some fresh air will be good for you” A tall, pale girl said endearingly, placing a hand on the wheelchair bounded boy beside her. “Leave me alone!” shouting as he shoved her hand off.

It has been a year. It was pouring the day his dreams came crashing down on him, as though the sky shared his sorrow. He was a talented basketballer with a bright and promising future ahead, but everything shattered after the doctor diagnosed him with Muscular Dystrophy, just the day before the basketball playoffs. Since then he had isolated himself from everyone around him, even shutting out his elder sister Clare, who he used to be extremely close to.

Today was no exception. The family was going to beach and as usual Darren refused to go with them. Clare has always been trying to persuade him to go out with the family; even to the extent of staying at home to accompany him while everyone else were having fun. “I said leave me alone and get out!!!” Darren shouted once more at Clare. Not wanting to agitate him any further, Clare turned to leave. Just then there was a crash. Darren spun around. Clare was lying on the floor, unconscious, crimson blood flowing freely from her nose. Darren shouted with all his might for his parents.

It appears that Clare has been suffering from leukaemia since 6 months ago. Not wanting to upset Darren any further, Clare had been indignant about not letting her parents tell him of her condition. She has always been there for him, despite the pain from her chemotherapy sessions. Yet he had been so caught up in his own misfortune, that he failed to realize that her once beautiful, flowing hair had disappeared and the mysterious bruises on her arms. Now, her condition has taken a turn for the worse.

Clare felt awful. The pain was unbearable and she knew she was at her limits. She forced herself to open her eyes. “Hey sis you’re up. Are you feeling better now?” Darren was by her bed. She smiled weakly at her little brother whom she loved so much. “Hey Darren. Don’t give up on yourself. Take care and I love you.” She had so much more to say but she was just too tired.

Darren was devastated. He had never cried so much in his entire life. Life is so fragile. His sister who had just been by his side yesterday, was now gone. He finally realized what Clare had been trying to convey all this time. No one ever gave up on him; neither should he give up on himself.

Since then, with new resolve, Darren has stepped out of his self isolation. Currently he is a doctor who specializes in the field of muscular dystrophy. He knows he is fortunate as only his legs are affected, and is determined to help people who share the same condition as him. Life is fragile and short as it is. Live it happily and live it to the fullest.

craapp my results are a total joke. chem was as if i did it with my eyes closed. econs looked like some retard did it instead of me! damn it i'm just not focused enough. The feeling of everyone doing well except you kinda sucks pretty bad.

and wow i have this AMAZING canoeist classmate. OMG she trained every single day of the CTs week and most of the march hols probably and she's still getting her A's. Respect sia. If only i had half her discipline and determination..

Dread going to school everyday. Somehow i've miss-placed the feeling of looking forward to school every single day in SJI & NJ.

I haz found the magic touch once again. Hopefully it'll stay.

haha omg i found it! Started this in Sec 3 but gave it up coz its not really my kind of stuff. But with the stress and pressure from the 'A's, kinda needed an outlet of expression. Beats talking to myself right?

Well here i am after 3 yrs, finished Os, now an RjKid. I guess i'm not really happy in RJ but what choice is there? I chose it after all. All thats left to do now its ace the 'A's which isn't really easy. Somehow the A's arn't coming to me..

That aside, JC life is omgwtfbbqasdfgg mundane. Lectures, tutorials, lectures, tutorials. Seems like the spark of excitement has burnt out from my life. Sure enough I made some great friends, met lots of new people, not to mention girls or should I say women who redefine beauty coz they are so damn prettayy. like my pseudo dajie! But at the end of the day, its all seems so transient. It is still the Josephians and the Clementi peepz who really make life colourful, it is them whom I can call Friend.

And something random, elder siblings are so damn cool, especially dajies, wished i had a real one.

Today is a weird weird day.

Weird Happening No. 1
This morning, my humanities teacher TORE my group's project just because 1 page was done in pencil and she said " i'm not going to mark anything in pencil". Following that she ripped it apart. I went like "u bloody b*tch!" (of coz i didn't say it out loud)

Weird Happening No. 2
During band today, we had sectionals, and as usual my SL was conducting us...he was conducting by whacking a marker on the music score stand. There was this part in the song which was quite ...erm... exciting and he *ehhem* got abit agitated. He hit the marker so hard that it flew out of his hand, bounced of the stand into my euphonium...it got stuck in it...couldn't get it out and only 10 mins of shaking did i managed to get it out. Miracles do happen =)

Weird Happening No. 3
Fell asleep on the bus home after band today... there was this girl...dunno what sch...sitting beside me...when i woke up she was...sleeping on my shoulder...i was like -_-", didn't know what to do. Being a josephian(gentleman), i couldn't possibly wake her up and say "excuse me ! pls get of my shoulder!". Everyone in the bus was like staring at me...*blush*. Kudos to Kaiyang for saving the day when he called my handphone, giving me a chance to made a big fuss out of finding my phone and waking her up in the process. She said sorry then being the gentleman I said its alright ! Haha!

Investiture Camp a.k.a Band Camp wasn't that bad...we did the usual stuff for this camp..physical training(pt), Investiture(duh)... it was quite fun anyway.

For the first time in history, i actually felt sad and cried for someone not related to me by blood...
After the investiture, emotions were high as the sec 4 bandsmen ended their final official parade with the band. Many of the bandsmen were crying...seeing so many people crying made me feel like crying too as i thought of the people that i spend 3 years with leaving soon. Following that i broke out in tears (drama hor? but true lor)

however, serious injuries were suffered by various bandsmen, both past and present.
A Sec 1 bandsmen,a trombonist i tink , by the name of Zixing, suffered a gash to the head when he slipped and hit his head on the edge of the barricade around the plants beside the showerroom... poor thing ... he was sent to K K hospital...
Another bandsmen, Gabrielle Chin, Sec 2 tubist, suffered a deep cut from a penknife when messing around with a Sec 1..poor guy...had to go hospital again...
Lastly, after Investiture, we were all messing around when an alumni hit his head on something(i dunno wad) and started bleeding...once again the teacher had to make another trip to the hospital...

ok thats all for todae.. i need go do homework liao...btw if Ian Chai(new drum major) somehow reads my blog, i hope he will take things abit slower and easy and i want him to know that the Sec 3 batch supports him no matter wad he does!!!

Frm Band Sergeant 2006 Wayne: " dunt cry lar, cry how take photo!?!" following that he burst into tears

omg !!! 'o' lvl chinese oral todae !!!! i was kinda trembling when i sat infront of the 2 MALE examiners.

1 of the teachers was an old guy...ur typical uncle at the coffeeshop...

the other one was young.. about late 20s..probably 28-29...he looks quite sissy( no offence meant, just stating a fact)

Throughout the exam, the old teacher was the one firing the questions at me and that sissy lookin teacher was just sitting there looking around as though he was there to see scenery and not examine students....

I tink i did relatively well except until the point where i thought i could finish up and then he ask me "hai you xie she me ni yao bu chong de mah ? " meaning do you still want to elaborate on anyting?... then i was like stun..could'nt tink of anyting so i say no.... bad sign sia....

thats all for todae....

expected!!! Materazzi said something real bad to Zizou ( Zidane the Living Legend) and pissed him off causing Zizou to headbutt him( he deserves it !!).

Lip readers claim that Materazzi might have called Zidane a n*gger( Zidane has algerian roots) and the "son of a terrorist whore"...

I tink the headbutt was justified lor ... Imagine if someone called u a son of a terrorist whore... insulting u and ur mother... how wld u feel... pissed rite ? ? and he calles u a n*gger somemore !! !

If i was there, i wld hav smashed Materazzi's face with the world cup !!!

Anyways, i spend majority of my time today thinking about ways of how to make Materazzi regret what he did...

T_T i got chinese 'o' level oral tomorrow lor... feel scared T_T . Then this coming monday still got 'o' level chinese listening exam T_T ..... pressure sia...

anyway thats all todae.. my mother bushuang i use computer to long . Bye !!

zzz... so sleepy... 2 am and it was pouring outside so i decided to sleep awhile more.. before getting up to watch world cup... it turns out my "awhile" was 45 mins ...

At first i thought never mind becoz France vs Italy won't got goal so fast de... but... to my dismay, it was 1-1 alrdy when i on my tv at 2 :45 am ...sobs..wahlao...

for the next 45 mins + 30 mins extra time no goals were scored. There was a beautiful header from Zidane but Buffon(Italiano Keeper) beautifully whack it over the post...

here comes the fun part... Marco Materazzi(idiotical italiano defender) rolls on the pitch in pain( fake one lar !!) claiming tt Zidane headbutt him in the chest !! I was thinking that he want lie also no need lie until so obvious...

that was until a replay of Zidane butting Materazzi was shown...

"gapes in shock !!" How could Zidane be so stupid... !!!.....

Zidane was "awarded" a red card ... so sad... it was suppose to be the last game of his beautiful career.. T_T

But thinking about it .. y would a usually calm person like Zidane do such a thing? Must be that Materazzi who did something to piss him off so much!!!

Anyway Italiano won 5-3 in the penalty shootout .. need i still say who got the world cup ?

nuting to say liao coz i feel so depressed for the Zizou ..the living legend...
