Cambodian Rendezvous

2008-12-15T21:45:00.007+08:00

Day 1

nothing on day 1 so i'll make this a 2 part season premier.. haha... here goes..

it all started with a flight........... you dont seriously think i'd start this post like this do you?

on the plane

well my family and i took an Air Asia flight to KL and was delayed at KLIA for our flight to Cambodia... we arrived at the capital city, Phnom Penh at 5.10pm local time... oh by the way, Cambodia is an hour behind Malaysia.. well thanks to the delay at KLIA, we got stuck in a traffic jam... rush hour... we finally arrived at a restaurant called Khmer Surin.. Khmer is the Cambodian language or also refer to their people.. food there was pretty good... we had a taste of the famous Amok Chicken... its like curry but sweet...

Khmer Surin..

after dinner we checked into our hotel.. the name of the hotel is Mittapheap Hotel... =.= the rooms were ok.. not much to see outside the hotel so we decided to sleep early..

Petronas Station in the midle of KLIA...

our plane was next to the Manchester United Air Asia plane.. =(

Plane food... whee... =.=

Day 2

woke up pretty late.. not a good way to start your vacation.. had breakfast at the hotel.. the bus took us to Wat Phnom.. it the first temple in the capital city and also where the city started.. we then headed to the Imperial Palace where the King of Cambodia still resides.. the design is similar to the Royal Palace in Bangkok..

Wat Phnom..

there was this Silver Pagoda within the palace grounds and the first thing that went through my mind was a Pagoda made of silver.... well, its not really that.. its actually a place where the King and other people worship the Emerald Buddha (again similar to Bangkok)... the floor, however, has silver tiles weighing 1kg each.. they dont allow photography inside the Pagoda but i managed to snap some under my arms..

Imperial Palace..

National Artifact Museum was the next stop.. the museum displays many statues and artifacts from the Pre-Angkor, Angkor, and Post-Angkor period.. there were LOADS.. but you cant take pictures without official permission... dumb people..

National Artifact Museum.... and dad..

why is there barisan logos in Phnom Penh??

lunch was at Tonle Bassac.. its a buffet of local food... not bad but could be better.. we stopped by a souvenir shop after lunch... Pailin Souvenirs... Pailin, my favourite Amazing Race Asia contestant, isnt the owner and thank god for that... the shop sucked.. haha..

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, our next location, was one that i never want to visit again... it was a prison during the war in Cambodia and before becoming a prison, it used to be a school... the cruelty of mankind sent chills up my spine and made me thank god i live in the 21st century...

the rules of the S-21 prison..

illustration of how they kill babies... monsters..!!

pictures of some of the kids imprisoned and killed in the prison..

after that enlightening visit, we headed to the Russian Market.. its called a Russian Market because it used to be where the Russians stay during the communist regime... shopping was obviously the thing there..

them people so proud of their Lexus.. there are more like this one around..

the local Tuk-Tuk..

dinner sucked big time... King Suki Soup = steamboat... heck my family makes better steamboats... dumbass restaurant..

that's all for the series premier... haha..

2008-12-15T17:49:00.003+08:00

I'm home...!!
yes my Cambodian adventure is over and i'm partly relieved yet sad...

we explored many temples, wat or prasat as they call it, and my feet are screaming for comfort but it was worth it..

i have finally crossed out Angkor Wat off my list of places to see and may have added a few more onto the "SEEN LIST"..

places i've been to are Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Banterey Srei, Tonle Sap, i've even seen the great Mekong River..!!

i bet you guys are expecting a long post... well i'm nt posting everything at once.. i'm doing it in parts.. one part is about a day in Cambodia..

Coming Soon....

ivan..

2008-12-05T10:45:00.002+08:00

here i am again talking about crap...

first i wanna congratulate Max Ong for winning the boys u-17 title in the Penang Junior Closed... you played well...

well its Friday and the guys and i are going out after the finals later... my cousin, Eugene is coming over to stay... Football on Monday.... yes the squash gang is playing football..

Countdown to Cambodia : 4 Days

i think that's it.. lol... sorry not much to say...
ivan..

I'm Back...

2008-12-03T00:51:00.005+08:00

yes people... i'm back... its been awhile but what the heck...

SPM isnt as bad as it was said to be but who am i to judge? i didnt even study... so yes SPM is over... whee =.= i dont feel the excitement...

i need a job.. well i wanna coach but someone wont return me my class for this month.. asshole.. i'm going to see Teng Hin and ask for more classes at a regular basis... i dont mind coaching everyday..

anyway the Penang Junior Closed just started today... i only entered the u-17 event as i am not fit.. i had the most misfortune of meeting the crow in the quarters... which sucked.. i lost to him 9-1, 9-4, 9-6.... i dare say thought that it was my best performance against him ever.. unfortunately more is needed to overcome the dark force.. LOL..

i will be playing against Alamin from Tin Club tomorrow and i'm not happy... the last meeting between us ended on the losing side for me... it was at the Tin Club and i was playing for my team SAP.. i hope to turn things around this time and put my experience to good use.. after all, i wont be playing tournaments for long...

had my bath after all that and took Shu Lynn out for dinner... went to Nandos at new Gurney... after that i head upstairs to check out phones and its finally here!! no not the Nokia 5800 but the Nokia n79!! i love that phone... unfortunately being an N-Series phone, it is priced at RM1899... a steep price for me.. but i will not rest until i have either the 5800 or the n79.. but another option would be the Sony Ericsson C905... its great and all and cheaper than the n79 by a few hundred but the camera is a little too much for a phone.. 8.1 megapixels? really?

i've waited for the Sony Ericsson Xperia and its finally here but the price is close to RM3000... that is just too much... anyway i will stop typing... will bring more updates soon i hope but for now i leave you all with a picture of the Nokia n79...

return of the fine print? i dont think so... not now at least.. hahah... got you looking didnt i Allan? ;)

2008-11-02T03:04:00.002+08:00

9 days till SPM....
x_X

anyway i havent been working hard enough to get myself prepared for this... now i'm feeling the pressure.... but i am trying my best to make the time i have left worth it.....

i'm being burried by tuition and homework and revision exercises i just wish this month will go away soon..... regardless of the results....

i dont have much time to update.... next one will probably be after SPM...
till next time...

i miss you baby...
ivan..

2008-10-29T02:25:00.002+08:00

i didnt plan to update my blog but here i am so i'll just wing it as i go....

anyway on Friday the 24th of October, it was SSP's most highly anticipated event of the year.... The Graduation Prom... so yeah i'll just walk you through the whole day.....

i woke up very early in the morning and had my breakfast... got myself ready and went to pick up Mabel, Malcolm, and Matthew.... they were gonna go play tennis... well i wanted to decorate my masquerade mask and i needed Mab's help so i had to be there...

so after my mask was done i rushed down to the library to pick Shu Lynn up.... took her to the beach... it was kinda just to kill time.... i got a little too close to a jellyfish... luckily i spotted it soon enough to move away... anyway after the beach we went to Gurney.... watched HSM3 : Senior Year.... the movie was great and the songs were good but i dont like the fact that every song they sang ends with them on stage.... i mean isnt a musical supposed to be like natural? like a person actually talking but instead they put it into a song? anyway overall that show was great...

anyway after all that, i dropped Shu Lynn home and went home myself.... took a long bath and got all my clothes ready.... got dressed for the prize presentation and left my house for G Hotel... i wore black jeans, black shirt, brown tie, and canvas shoes........ anyway when i arrived i bumped into Alex, Johnny, and Cze Yang..... we made our way to the ballroom and got there just in time for the ceremony......

when the ceremony ended, Mabel, Honey, Vivonne and myself rushed to Honey's house to change into our dinner clothes..... i was once again the driver... lol.... we managed to get back to G Hotel in time for Mab's speech... i wont go into detail or else this post will never end...

we had fun during the dinner... there were bad performances and i thought i lost my sense of hearing but other than that, it was a near perfect night..... we took pictures after the dinner and chat and not long after, it was already almost 12am....

the prom photos are all in my Facebook and my friends' and to those who dont have Facebook, GET IT!!

ok now to some sensitive issues....... i do not wanna mention it here but i was forced to by someone who is currently cramping her Science for tomorrow's paper.... i gained weight... AHAHAHA... what you think it would be very deep?? guess again... but yea i have gained weight... and from what i'm getting from her, its alot of weight... i beg to differ.... anyway i do know i gained weight.... i havent been in competitive squash since June and i havent trained since August... the last time i held my racquet was in September.... i have pledged to do 50 sit-ups and push-ups every night before i sleep and try to wake up early on days i dont go to school and go for runs..... i need to do it...

its 13 days till SPM and i cant say i'm as panicked as i was on the final week building up to PMR.... but i'm close... i have conceded my History and Bio and currently trying to save my Chem and Add Maths..... i made a bet with a certain peaKOK that the one who doesnt get a minimum of 5 As will have to cut their hair... shave to chinese school lenght for guys, and cut short for girls.... i think i got 4 subjects covered but this 4 who doesnt right? Eng, BM, Maths, EST...... i'm trying to push my Physics, Moral and Add Maths to that level.... oh well....

i guess that's all for now.... i slept from 8pm till 1am just now and i think its time for me to go back to sleep.... signing out.......
ivan..

2008-10-23T18:55:00.002+08:00

short update....

i should be wearing this to the prom.....

yes people..... that's me...

i doubt even my closest friends have seen me dressed like this before...

anyway i gotta go..... still havent really confirmed my outfit yet.....

ivan..

Quick Update...

2008-10-21T21:08:00.003+08:00

here's a quick post.. i'm just gonna crap here because i dont know what to talk about.. so here goes....

went to school today (wow how interesting =.=) a few of the guys turned up... now we all know why my classmates turn up on tuesdays.......... BADMINTON..... so we played doubles and singles and to everyone's surprise... TAY CZE YANG came to school... yea... anyway i played very badly today... frustrated my doubles partner alot... played singles with Cze Yang and actually WON... my back was hurting alot and i couldnt breathe after that though.....

after badminton, everyone just died... we just sit in class and do nothing.... Nic and I watched The Dark Knight on my iPod and Madam Chin nearly pissed me off..... again with the magazine stuff..... its like my face has "SCOLD ME ABOUT THE INCOMPLETE MAGAZINE" printed on my face...

came back home right after school and didnt do much since then... i'm waiting for my mum to call saying she is back in Penang... obviously i gotta go fetch her from the bus terminal.....

Manchester United play against Celtic tonight but i have no time to talk about that... someone is waiting for me to update...

finally seeing Shu Lynn again tomorrow since saturday... i know it doesnt seem like long but when you're me, it does feel that long.... i'm doing my chemistry notes now and it isnt easy because my tuition teacher is so particular.... i hope he doesnt read this.....

annual dinner is on friday and i finally picked what i'm going to wear..

Padini shirt and pants..

all i'm missing now is a belt and a white tie..... yea i've decided to wear a white tie.... i guess that's all for now.. seems like i said quite alot within these few minutes....... my time is up... there you go Shu Lynn... =)

ivan..

1 day...... 1 month.......

2008-10-10T14:21:00.004+08:00

its like a day before it'll be EXACTLY A MONTH BEFORE SPM...

anyway that isnt what i wanna talk about.. recently i've been having a little of what i like to call auto-fever... i have this obsession over cars.. i mean i dont know much about the complicating stuff but still interested.. i keep wanting to know about the latest cars and the ones in production and shit like that..

it took me 7 days before PMR to finally have my panic button activated and went on study mode but now its SPM and a month away and i'm still on CARS?? ok so it is what i wanna talk about.. sue me.. anyway, the last time (PMR), it took a precise lightning strike to fry only my CPU when all the sockets are connected to make me finally take my book seriously.. what now? i'm using this piece of shit of an ancient laptop and i'm still going? my desktop never came back from the ashes.. it stayed fried.. with good reason i suppose..

tuition for BM, Physics, Add Maths and Chemistry should do me some good but what about Bio? History? well i've decided i'm going to live with it and choose a path in live that doesnt require those subjects.. i mean, English, EST, BM, Maths, and a possible miracle for Add Maths, Physics, Chemistry and my average moral scoring would at least be of SOME use in the future right? i was considering choosing something that is accosiated to sports but i've been told it requires Bio.............. i'm dead.. i have thought about automotive engineering or whatever you call that but do i really wanna be a grease monkey my whole life?

anyway this post will make people go I TOLD YOU SO, IVAN... not that i dont deserve it but its too late now.. but what's more worrying is the fact that in 2 months time, me and all the other 5th formers will be thrown into a bigger battle.......... REALITY... i mean life is just begining.. schooling life is coming to an end and we're gonna be going to college and stuff and getting jobs..... does time really fly that fast? i still remember the day i walked into PFS as a form 1 and being afraid i cant fit in... i remember one day in standard 3 when i transfered to SKBG from a chinese school that i regretted going.. it all felt like just not long ago.. where did all that time go? it also felt like just last week when i was taking driving lessons and taking the JPJ test.. my childhood flew by so quickly.... and i can only think of a few exciting things that has happend till now..

how will being an adult feel like? i mean i'm like less than 3 years from turning 20.... TWENTY!! i better stop here before i start thinkin about when i turn 30........... 0.0

the blur face never goes away... Beijing 2002, 11 years old..

here comes the dorky specs..... Shanghai 2003, 12 years old..

Shanghai..

football fanatic at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.... South Korea 2004, 13 years old..

New Zealand 2005 picture unavailable..........

taller.. thinner... smarter?? lol... Bangkok/Chiang Mai, Thailand 2006, 15 years old..

even taller... skinnier... still not smarter.. HAHA... United States of America 2007, 16 years old..

next stop........... Siam Reap, Cambodia 2008.......
COMING SOON..

ivan..

it has been awhile....

2008-10-06T18:14:00.009+08:00

yes i know it has been ages since i last did a proper post..

woke up fairly early for a sunday yesterday.... went to the temple to pray for the 9th lunar month.. the place was crowded, hot, smokey, and loud.. anyway after praying mum, dad and myself went for freakfast.. it was near the temple.. a roadside stall selling drinks and koay teow th'ng... the drinks were expensive.. it was most probably because the drinks dude saw us come in a Harrier.. because every other person was served in smaller plastic cups but our's were huge glass mugs.. =.= speaking of taking advantage..

this ship was HAND MADE..

anyway, went to the Honda showroom after that.. dad wanted to test-drive the new Honda Accord but i was hoping he'd give the Honda Jazz a go.. unfortunately, there was only one salesman and he was busy confirming the sale of a Honda City to another family.. so we walked around and checked out the Jazz, Stream and City...

the test car.. i like this colour..

i would fancy having a car with this interior..

anyone knows where to find this kind of steering wheel? i wanna replace my car's wheel..

the Stream is pretty good looking too..

the interior aint too bad either..

oh i've also been looking for things to add or improve in my car.. things like my headlights, sound system, and possibly adding that what-ever-its-called that Dennis installed in his car for more power and fuel efficiency..

projector headlights.. cost about RM1000 but looks very nice..

the Sony Xplod player i'm planning to get..

well i dont wanna bore you people with more of this crap so i guess that's it..

ivan..

2008-09-30T23:59:00.002+08:00

i'm sorry guys (and YAN) for not updating for awhile.. and this isnt exactly a post either.. its just that i dont have anything to blog about these days.. i will post as soon as something interesting comes up.. promise..

trials has just ended and its a huge relief.. although the worst is yet to come..

well the past few days has been ok.. got back my car recently.. yes people, THE MYVI IS BACK!! the sound system will have to wait.. mum has decided to just change the players and add tweeters for now.. Allan, if you are reading this, are your speakers 3-way speakers?

wont be going to school so often now that trials are over.. will only go when there is badminton and football.. its private tuition and home study from now on..

well, i'll keep this a short update.. going off to PISA to swim.. need the exercise.. will post up pics of my cara IF and WHEN the new stuff is installed..

A Little Bit Longer.....

2008-09-16T17:25:00.004+08:00

i'm posting this as i have nothing to do.. well actually i do but i just dont wanna do it now.. here goes..

A Little Bit Longer...
The Jonas Brothers

this album is pretty good to be honest.. not all the songs are great but the likes of Burnin' Up, Pushin' Me Away, Sorry, Video Girl, Shelf, One Man Show, A Little Bit Longer, can actually make you wanna listen to them..

the other songs are BB Good, Love Bug, Tonight, Cant Have You, Got Me Goin Crazy.. these arent as good as S.O.S, Hold On, Goodnight and Goodbye, When You Look Me In The Eyes.. both Jonas Brothers and A Little Bit Longer are good albums.. but The Jonas Brothers are getting a little too much publicity for just these songs.. i dont get why the girls go crazy over them.. looks? be a fan for their music for god's sake.. sheesh..

anyway, i still think this album is pretty good..
ivan..

Counting down the days till doomsday.....

2008-09-16T17:13:00.002+08:00

ignore the title.. its obviously about SPM.. well, mum decided to get me private tutors for chem and add maths (possibly other subjects).. so i will be going to school less i guess.. will only go for PJ and Football..

trials have been horrible.. i dont even wanna look at the results.. i just wanna get it over with and look ahead to SPM.. we will be getting air-cond for SPM.. the school has decided to install in the 2 classrooms used for SPM..

moving on to my car, it will be back on Thursday.. well it SHOULD be back on thursday.. my mum said it has been washed inside out and polished.. after taking it back, i need to send it to tin the rear windshield.. and after that, sound system hunting.. i cant wait to get new sound system for my myvi.. hopefully my mum keeps to her word..

drove the Harrier to school yesterday.. it was very confortable and you dont have to worry about being bullied.. haha.. however, some sad news...... my mum announched that she is planning to sell the Mini.. 0.0 she said its not fuel efficient.. that i can agree.. its like only 1.6 and the consumption is worse than the harrier (2.4) and the merc (2.3).. well, i dont have much to object because its not my decision to make.. i'll just have to worry about my Myvi..

i guess that's all i have to talk about..

2008-09-11T18:54:00.002+08:00

Latest Update on my car!!

well, good news is that all the new parts arrived and are already assembled.. bad news is that it isnt sprayed yet.. so now my car is black and gold.. WTF.. i still have a colour change in my sights but i dont think it will happen.. if it doesnt rain as much as last week, my car will be back by Saturday..

now i already have upgrades on my mind but obviously i dont have the money.. i'm thinking of changing the speakers and the player.. at least two additional speakers will be added if this plan materialises.. and a friend of mine suggested having those pop-out screens.. the stock player in the Myvi is HUGE! and lame.. so i have to remove the whole piece and put in one with two slots.. in one i'll install a new player and in the other the screen maybe?

either that or a 6 disc changer.. the player must have USB and iPod compatibility.. getting lazy burning discs.. so to those reading this, please give me some suggestions.. interior first.. its about time i make an effort to make that car better to drive..

everyone probably knew by now that Dimitar Berbatov has FINALLY joined Manchester United after months and months of speculation.. i just wanna say WELCOME DIMITAR!! =.=

#9 thank god Louis Saha left!! GO DIMI!!

on to more serious matters, trials starts tomorrow.. *creepy music* and my trials results will be used to apply for my scholarship to US.. *even creepier music* honestly as i grow older, my studies suck more and more.. i used to know stuff.. now i know shit.. and i'm more focused on what i'm going to do after SPM than what am i going to do BEFORE SPM.. i miss squash.. i miss the tournaments and travelling with my friends to other states.. is it possible to train again after SPM? Allan? and i'll only have a year to play.. i regret not pushing myself when i had the chance.. i wasnt serious about squash in my earlier years..

time flies.. and i just want SPM to end.. updates on my car.. repairs has just started.. not that driving the merc isnt cool and all but driving the Myvi has its perks.. i used to complain about the car and keep asking my parents to get a different car.. now i just want that piece of Milo tin back.. i do want to change a few things though.. like my sound system perhaps? any ideas guys? i actually just want to change the player.. i want to be able to connect my iPod in my car.. getting a little tired of burning discs..

i guess that's it for now.. will try to update on my trials.. till then..

So the other day while "doing ed-board work" in school, i decided to look something up in YouTube.. i heard Mabel and Haneesha talk (and sing AND sorta dance) about it and it didnt make sense to me so i wanted to find out what the whole thing was about.. its called The Yes Dance.. it was performed by Robert Hoffman (Step Up 2) at this thing called the carnival.. its hilarious.. so i want to spread it to the world..

there's also this other video Haneesha showed me.. its called the Spongebob Dance.. (wtf??) yes SPONGEBOB.. the steps are pretty much repeated the whole time but still.. its.......err...... unique??

enjoy..

well today is the 51st independence day for Malaysia.. honestly i dont see what the hype is all about.. i know i should be thankful to be in a country free from natural disasters and wars but with all the problems sufacing these days, what's the difference? so i am NOT in the merdeka mood.. never had actually..

woke up pretty early for a sunday.. bout 9-ish.. had my breakfast then watched some tv.. bathed and got ready to go out.. went to this temple to pray.. according to my mum, it was supposed to help me with my trials and SPM.. well i really hope it helps.. but seeing as i RARELY pray, is it fair to say that god will see to my needs last? whatever..

went to Tesco and had McD.. then bought some stuff from Tesco and had Baskin Robins.. it IS the 31st today.. went tuition then came back home.. yada yada yada.. now i'm here..

got some pics from Haneesha.. she took pics of me, Lin Kai, Wesly, and Chris playin football.. it was for the school magazine.. anyway i looked through it and here are some of the nice ones (with me in it of course)..

shooting with the outfoot..

floating ball.. dont go away.. =.=

Lin Kai going for the header.. i like this shot.. too bad i dont have a similar one..

i got some tricks up my sleeve.. i think..

got the ball again..

*gasp* Wesley is chasing the ball.. ah leave him be..

yeah.. passed Wesley no sweat..

basic stuff..

passed Wesley AGAIN.. getting used to it..

see what i can do..

come on Lin Kai.. lets see what you've got..

love this shot.. not my expression though..

no ball.. what are we chasing??

go get the ball!!

CHARGE!!!!

wheee!!! watch me go..

got tired..

well i guess that's all.. i know i keep saying this but I SERIOUSLY NEED TO START STUDYING!! no way i can make it but i need to get as much in my head as possible..

ok time for an update..

i had THE most embarrassing experience in my 3 months of driving just now.. let me start from the begining.. i was on my way back from school and i needed to refuel the MERC.. so i went to the Esso near Giant hypermarket.. i parked the car and killed the engine.. and i started looking fot the button/thing that you press/pull to get the fuel cap to open.. i looked and looked and LOOKED but couldnt find it.. so i kept on looking.. then the security guard came and asked me what is the problem.. i told him i couldnt find the thing and so he helped me look.. he then had a sudden brain blast and remembered how his boss' merc works.. he went over to the fuel cap aaaaand.......... pushed it open.. WTF!?!?!?!? let me shoe you how it works....

step ONE

step TWO : press one side..

step THREE : PRESTO!! =.=

so yea that was embarrassing.. anyway nothing much happening.. SPM trials is closer than you think and i need to dig in and study.. *singing* i'm screwed yea i'm screwed i'm so so screwed... =.=

that's all for now.. ciao!

2008-08-21T12:53:00.004+08:00

well, now i have time..

so i guess i owe you all the full story behind the accident i got myself in yesterday.. here goes.... i was on my way to school as usual and i took the usual route from the "elevated highway".. i passed the traffic light after JPJ and was going to turn out to coastal road BUT some mother fucker brake out of a sudden for nothing and a motorcycle was behind him.. he stopped in time.. i saw it and also stopped in time.. UNFORTUNATELY, this bastard of a van driver didnt see me braking and WHAM!!! his side mirror penetrated my rear windscreen and the oh-so-hard van smashed my MILO-TIN-MYVI.. i think i strained my neck during the collision because i can still feel it.. AND I WAS AND STILL AM SICK!! dammit..

WTF!!!!!!!

so i didnt go to school yesterday.. later in the evening, went to the police station to make a report.. it took ages.. anyway, my car is now in the workshop.. it didnt look so good.. but hey, compared to most of the other cars at the workshop, mine looked fantastic.. tryin to convince my mum to spray the car a different colour after the repair.. give it a fresh new start.. besides, i dont like that ah pek colour..

i guess that's all i have for now.. will keep you all posted on the condition of my car.. as for now, i'm driving the merc.. but i kida miss my Myvi.. weird i know.. till next time..

ivan..

i really need to find a new hobby..

well today is....... ok i guess.. went to school and barely had any studies before we were allowed to leave early..

went to this restaurant called Taipei or something.. Alex asked us to try.. oh anyway, it was me, Alex, Mabel, Cho Chia, Melvin TAN, and Wooi Nian.. anyway the food was pretty good.. nt exactly very cheap but the price is fair.. after lunch we went to Haagen Daaz for some ice cream.. to tell you the truth i have NEVER had HD in my life before today.. ordered something called seventh heaven and shared.. it was very good.. no wonder they're so expensive..

before.....
AFTER!!

dropped them back to school and Mel at Gurney then headed home.. i will be going for a run in about 45 minutes time.. the Dell thing is next weekend.. gotta run more.. and i've been gaining weight.. not much but still gaining none the less.. i gotta get my lazy bum to my usual training regime.. i keep telling myself that but i always seem to fail applying it in my head.. dumbass.. =.=

i guess i'm gonna stop here.. nothing much to say anyway.. just killing time before i go for my runs.. its hot as hell out there now.. darn..

ivan..

2008-08-12T22:24:00.002+08:00

love is patient, love is kind....
love means slowly losing your mind..

just a random quote i got from a movie.. kinda agree with it.. haha.. well i got nothing to say actually.. to those who are wondering how i'm doin, IF ANY, i'm still surviving.. i struggle from day to day hoping to catch a break and praying that one day i will get the life i've always wanted.. as for now, i struggle more everyday.. nothing seems to go right with me.. weird.. maybe i was some kind of criminal in my past life and sinned alot so now i'm still paying for my mistakes.. WTF..

this post is real stupid.. i dont even know what i'm saying half the time.. better crapping here than in my add maths project.. which is still incomplete.. actually its done.. just need few adjustments.. oral exam on thursday.. hope its better than my lisan..

the man who cant be moved by the script is a great song.. i guess i'll stop bullshitting here.. should call it a night and head to bed.. been very lethargic lately.. damn..

ivan..

2008-08-10T00:50:00.002+08:00

where do i start?

seeing that i'm a bit lazy to update, i'll just type untill i get bored.. well, this morning i had to wake up SOFRIGGINEARLY just to fetch my sister to school.. i THOUGHT there was runs as usual.. i arrived at the usual place was soon joined by Hayate.. waited for godknowshowlong and decided to not run.. he went back and i went to McD to get breakfast.. went back to the courts after that and did some solo training..

was supposed to take Kok Sin's class again but like the past 3 weeks, NO ONE turned up.. not a single soul.. so bought lunch and then waited for my class to start.. played against an old nemesis and won easily.. Nicol David decided to drop in and have light training with another professional player (no point mentioning her name).. what bothers me most is how people react to Nicol's pressence.. i mean yeah she's the world #1 but give her some space.. let her feel normal.. gosh.. a few girls were like OMGITSNICOL!! some even wanted to ask for an autograph.. we coaches were like what's the fuss? seen her before already lah.. but she does train hard.. on court she's focused.. no surprise there right? she's friendly too.. she was at Kok Sin's bday BBQ thing last year..

anyway.. nothing much from there.. my class was ok today.. not great but ok.. guess that's all i wanna say.. should be sleeping soon..

school's reopening *screams*.......

2008-08-05T14:01:00.004+08:00

B.O.R.I.N.G....

well the holidays have been very suckish.. i cant concentrate on studying and because of my extended sleeping hours, i barely have time for anything.. havent been feeling well either..

had runs on saturday.. suffered all the way.. after 5 laps my whole body felt heavy and it was hard to push up the slope.. had to stop many times to catch my breath.. exercise after that was pathetic as well.. stabilising exercises was terrible.. my back couldnt take it so i had to stop while the rest continued.. getting old..??

could play squash though.. played for almost 2 hours with Ryan, Jonathan and Clara.. was feeling very exhausted after that.. took over Kok Sin's class but none of the students showed up.. had my lunch then took a nap before coaching at 4pm..

went back after that and quickly got ready.. went out with Melvin, Jonathan Leong, Phuah, Chan, Dexter, Henry, Sanjeevwa and Viknesh (wtf).. drove to Queens where the guys are and fetched Jon, Henry and Chan while the others followed Mel.. went to Batu Feringhi.. raced Mel there and it was crazy.. he reached 1st.. wwalked around and had plans to buy loads of stuff but only ended up with DVDs.. we all split the bill and bought Step Up 2, Heartbreak Kid, Fool's Gold, Spiderwick Chronicles, Knight Rider, Drilbit Taylor, Kung Fu Panda, Superhero Movie, and a few more that slipped my mind.. on the way back got McD for supper..

the next day my whole body was aching.. and i'm have to boost my fitness in time for the Dell merdeka race thing.. gotta hit top 2.. anyway had Dominos for lunch and soon after, tuition.. after tuition came back tired as hell and had my dinner.. watched F1 but fell asleep.. took a shower and felt slightly awake so decided to watch some movies..

so far i have finished watching Drilbit, Heartbreak Kid and Step Up 2.. gotta love the moves in Step Up 2.. awesome stuff.. oh how i wish i could dance like them.. Heartbreak Kid wasnt very funny.. maybe Ben Stiller movies arent that funny but its not a bad movie.. Drilbit was disappointing.. not as nice as i thought it would be.. wanted to buy Prince Caspian, The Hulk, Hellboy and all but not clear.. *note : i'm not promoting pirated DVDs, just got lots of movies to catch up with..

Briana Evigan is crazy HOT..!!
anyway here i am right now posting all this and still feeling sore.. i'm not the old i-can-run-around-for-hours-and-not-feel-tired Ivan anymore.. i used to be able to play football for hours and not feel tired, play squash for the whole day and still want more, go for a jog and could easily go for another round but nt anymore.. really need to work out and run more or else it would be hell when i return to the academy after SPM.. i DO intend to compete for another year at least..

i guess that's all i wanna say for now.. might be boring stuff but i just gotta let it out.. dont wanna pile up all the updates.. and if you have free time, play the youtube video on the left side of my blog.. its not exactly a video but the music is the one used in the final dance of Step Up 2.. wicked remix.. love it..

ivan..

2008-08-01T01:31:00.003+08:00

went out with Melvin, Vickram and Soma today..

we went to Queens to catch if-i'm-not-mistaken the first screening of The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.. first we had a few rounds of Daytona and then headed off to watch the movie.. madness i tell you.. wonderful show.. those of you who plan to watch it on DVD........ DONT!! go watch it in the cinema.. the sound is so awesome!! sorry if i sound like a small kid who k=just fell in love with a new toy or something..

anyway, after the movie we had a few more rounds of Daytona.. was the most fun i've had ever since the holidays started.. went to KFC for lunch.. (sorry Haneesha but i was dying to try out the new Toaster Twister) went back after that but did switch cars with Mel.. i took his Gen2 and he took my Myvi..

Gen2 was pretty good.. although i hated the rear visibility of the car.. and the steering wheel is so square-ish.. =.= what's up with that? anyway drove to PISA and switched back to our own cars.. managed to get to our 0-100kmh test road on the red light and i was in front.. managed to get to 80kmh only because my car was on full tank, i didnt turn off the over drive, AND i didnt step all the way down.. so i ran out of road.. will try again tomorrow..

borrowed The Love Guru from Mel and watched it at home.. funny show.. it was total nonsense but funny..

will be dropping by PFS tomorrow to see some old friends.. and after that maybe lunch with them at McD.. i haven't eaten there since i left PFS.. will be doing more 0-100 tests with Mel tomorrow.. brace yourselves road users of Penang!! hahaha.. i'm kidding....... no seriously, brace yourselves... @.@

2008-07-25T18:38:00.007+08:00

today was a fun day (its about time interesting days come by).. spent whole day doing editorial board stuff with Mabel and Haneesha..

we first arrived in school and got permission to go to the junior school.. we went there and took pictures of those adorable standard 1s for their section of the mag.. then we took pictures of the school.. came back to the senior school and had something to eat before continuing our work.. went to the kindergarden and took some pictures of them little kids.. its so hard for Haneesha to get a smile from them.. they're like the future emo people of the world.. took pictures of some form 5s as well.. we were holding up pieces of paper where the words will go in.. it was funny..

i like this shot..

and this one as well..

ahh the kids.. so carefree and free from stress.. for now MUAHAHAHAHA!!

this shot's pretty nice too..

the girls at work..

look at them.. so hardworking..

arent they adorable?

Mabel and.......... what's his name again?

Siah, Wong, Ling, Tan, Tan, Khor... =.="

Lee, Tay, Lim, Afiq, Srimanilon, Yew (or eww? XD), Tan, Wong..

Ng, Kok, Khanum.. XD

well i guess that's all for Friday's activities..

2008-07-20T23:42:00.005+08:00

first of all i wanna say....

HAPPY 77th BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!

well belated actually.. was supposed to post this up on sunday night but couldnt.. i didnt get a picture of her but oh well.. woke up at about 11 this morning.. watched TV while having breakfast and showered.. after that, aunt came over and made chicken Cordon Bleu for lunch.. *mouth waters*

time flies.. not long after lunch i was getting ready for tuition already.. went to Mel's house to fetch him.. tuition wasnt much today.. talked most of the time.. went home and immediately went to grandma's to fetch her.. went to have steamboat for dinner in town.. well we were full but mostly because we had so much soup..

grandma is all about the food.. dad however looks ????

mum, sis and aunt..

after all that, dropped grandma back home and that's it.. had some of my aunt's home made Tiramisu and watched this show on TV..

today SSP form 5s have their BM oral exam.. we 1st session people came to school by 7.30am and the teachers gave us instructions.. when it was my turn for the solo test i was nervous as hell.. didnt really have many points to deliver so the lady asked me many questions.. when it was group discussion time it wasnt so bad.. Haneesha, Chris, and I did pretty well.. but i cant say the same for Yee Yean.. he barely opened his mouth..

finished by 9.30am and dropped Haneesha back home and then Yee Yean at the jeti.. last stop was Mabel.. dropped her back to her house and straight back home for me.. today is pretty boring.. tomorrow is the last day of school before our two week break and its more like a two week intensive study-yourself-or-die thing.. english oral will be after the holidays..

lots of movies to watch but never enough time (or money).. SPM gets even closer and still the temptation of watching a movie ia there.. well i gotta start studying.. maybe i will watch a few movies during the 2 week break..

The Dark Knight
i heard its REALLY good..

The Love Guru
should be a good laugh..

You Dont Mess With The Zohan
another Adam Sandler movie.. need i say more?

ivan..

2008-07-20T00:56:00.003+08:00

ok its high time i update you people on my life.. ok there's not much but still.. i know you guys check every now and then.. XD

so we finally recieved our add maths project instructions and i'm in the same group as the two people who made SSP wonderful for me.. Mabel and Honey.. we decided to start ASAP so we did the experiment on thursday (when some teacher DIDNT show up again!!) and after school we went to Gurney to continue.. the girls were so hyper in the car i could have sworn my brain went numb.. we met up with Cho Chia and had lunch at McD.. met Honey's sis at GSC.. she works there.. Cho Chia left us after that.. we did our project stuff over some popcorn or JAGUNG-POP as Honey calls it in BM.. at about 7pm we left Gurney and was supposed to have dinner but we ended up all going home.. i went to pump petrol and got locked out of the car by them hyper girls.. dropped Honey back and then Mabel.. had instant beehun for dinner.. sad i know..

3 with ugly shirts and 1 with the uniform.. McD haha..

friday was dull.. Honey spent the whole day at home doing the project.. she made a good call by NOT coming to school.. it was boring as hell.. Mabel and I used our laptops during uniform units period.. went back to get my hair cut..

saturday.. woke up late and rushed for morning runs.. didnt manage to finish the required 12 laps.. couldnt continue after 8.. did some exercises.. and coached Andria and Debbie.. took a break after that and played squash with the Chinese girls (from China =.=).. i lost 0-3.. its been awhile since i played a match.. damn i gotta train.. but i cant.. drove to Queens for lunch but got a call from mum so turned back and bought food from island glades and ate at the courts.. watched the SRAP League final between SAP and Sri York.. we won 5-0.. easy breazy.. wait wasnt that from Covergirl? zzzz..

went out for dinner and it wasnt much.. hawker food.. dorve my dad's merc for awhile.. i like that car.. cant wait till i get it.. with some repairs and a lil touch of teen essence here and there i'm sure it'll be a great car again.. lol..

well i guess that's it.. i'm getting tired and i havent sat down to actually update for a long long LONG time.. so thanks guys for coming by.. =]

its been awhile since i blogged..

didnt go for morning runs this morning because i wasnt told.. apparently someone called Andria and told her that morning runs was on but didnt bother to tell me.. so much for team.. this shit between that someone and myself has gone too far.. but i aint gonna give in..

anyway, woke up and my parents and my sis went to KL.. so i'm home alone with my grandma and the maid.. fetched Andria and went to the courts.. played squash with Dennis and Jonathan and Uncle Matthew.. doubles.. it was a blast.. =]

had coaching after that and went lunch with Kesh.. came back and coached the 5 year olds.. it was fun at first but then they started to get all hyper so it became frustrating.. had my usual class after that..

went home and got ready and went to fetch Melvin.. we wanted to go out makan just for the sake of driving the MINI COOPER!! it was awesome!! i love that car.. haha..

bought new pairs of running shoes.. its the same as my previous just a little changes here and there..

well i guess that's it for now.. XD

finally went for training after so long.. morning runs.. i was late.. ran 8 laps and felt like 1000.. i was shocked at my fitness level.. damn.. anyway had training after that and it was to be my last training session.. i have officially quited the academy.. will train solo from now on untill SPM is over.. waited for coaching to start.. only Keanu showed up so after an hour coaching him, i bathed and went to Queens.. supposed to meet Mel there and get birthday presents together but he came late so i had to do it myself..

after buying Phuah's and Marcus' gifts, went back to the courts w/ my sister.. she had training and i had coaching.. the class was a little frustrating but it wasnt bad.. i dun really scold my classes anyway.. made them do court runs though..

went back to get ready and fetched Vickram.. head off to N-Park for Phuah's birthday BBQ.. we had quite alot of fun there.. it was also kind of the first time i drank anything with alcohol without my parents around.. drank half a bottle of Carlsberg and some so-called "vodka".. and ended with some shandy... stupid right? Vic and Aeron was so worried i might get drunk.. i had to fetch them home.. but i wasnt even half drunk.. minor stuff really.. wanted to throw Phuah into the pool after the cake in his face but STUPID guard stopped us and wanted to call the cops.. WTF??? potong steam la that guard.. went back after 12am and my mum scolded me..

with the "vodka" and Vic with....... orange juice??

Sean and I with "vodka".. Vic with.... orange juice again???? Aeron lying down acting cool..

more pictures from the party to come.. crazy pictures.. lol.. it was a blast.. it also marked the return of JOEL BROWN!! he came back to Penang but wasnt exactly free so he came for a short while..

so today, woke up near lunchtime.. had breakfast and lunch continuously.. after that, worked on my moral folio which is an essay away from completion.. got ready and went to fetch Chris to Bukit Jambul Club.. we played tennis with birthday boy Marcus and the other 3 Koks.. there were also some of Marcus' classmates so everyone played..

went to his house after that for dinner.. played football with Marcus, Malcolm and Matthew after that and got soaked in the rain.. took Chris back and now i'm home..

this is actually one of THE most eventful weekend so far.. had loads of fun this weekend and unfortunately, tomorrow is the begining of the week again.. damn.. i guess that's all for now.. will post up the pictures as soon as i can..

just came back from Hatyai, Thailand..

bumped into Sofia and her family at the border.. went to Tesco and bought some stuff.. the word "some" is so inappropriate.. hahaha.. anyway, had lunch there and went to a temple.. it was a pretty nice place..

HUGE Buddha statue..

i like this pagoda.. its nice..

walking up to the Goddess of Mercy..

there's a piece of her neck broken..

Guan Gong.. i think..

3 different Buddhas.. each bringing different meanings.. i guess..

i dont know what he's called but nice, no?

i love this fountain.. so elaborate..

i have no idea what this statue represents but the details are very good..

looks nicer when i was there..

would you believe me if i told you........

....that this is a graveyard? or rather a memorial place..
the statues backs are actually filled with the ashes of the cremated people and sealed up.. and all the statues face another version of Buddha or some thing like that.. i'm not that relegious.. sorry to say..

checked into the hotel and went to Big C after that.. bought "some" more stuff.. LOL.. went back to the hotel and bumped into Sofia again.. hahaha.. went out to check out the streets.. bought more stuff..

next morning went to have breakfast.. when getting into the elevator....... saw Sofia again.. staying same floor.. i guess she's also Berjaya member.. LOL.. after breakfast, hit the streets again.. went to the market and bought more stuff.. shopping trip, what do you expect? went to Robinsons after that.. then we checked out and went to some restaurant.. and yes, Sofia and her family was having lunch there also.. wtf right? never meet at all in hometown Penang but overseas so many times? hahahah..

literally translated? f*** easy... HAHAHAHAH

wanted to take a picture of the food but.... HUNGRY!!

went to Tesco again after that and had Black Canyon coffee.. i had the Chocolate Frappe..

went back after that..

my room..

other stuff..

had to come here..

my chocolate tower..

havent been updating these few days.. didnt have much to tell..

today Nic called me in the morning asking me to fetch him from Gleneagles because he was there visiting his mum.. GET WELL SOON AUNTY!! anyway, fetched him and headed to school..

schoolong as usual.. boring i tell you.. at 1.30pm, the interact club members lined up and i joined in.. went to this Eden Children's Hostel somewhere in Cheeseman Road.. its actually a place for spastic people to go to for guidance and help.. i didnt know it was a place for spastic people.. i thought it was just an orphanage or something..

we played some games with them and introduced ourselves.. and then the coordinator for the centre explained to us some of the disabilities these people suffered.. it was so sad to hear the things they cant do.. i mean things, simple things we do everyday are a challenge to them.. and some of them are barely 5 years old.. i feel lucky to be who i am now.. i really do.. these children will never get a chance to know what its like to live like a normal person.. in the future, i will try to do something to help these people.. they deserve it..

this little girl loves to play with her hair.. right Mabel? =]

wait, arent i the camera man? someone took my job!!

korean dude from Tenby..

coordinator person telling us about the disablilities..

write TENBY with your butt.. wtf??

buat rajin in school..

i guess that's all for now.. will have league match against USM tomorrow.. i'm sooo gonna skip scouts for this.. hahaha..

got my car fixed!!

i went to the courts like every saturday.. had my training and then waited for Kok Sin's 12.30pm class.. i was gonna coach that class.. so i did and went out to lunch with Kesh.. Mee Goreng next to the Jelutong post office.. after lunch, Kesh took me to a workshop and asked how much it would cost to fix the car.. the 1st place said RM50.. he then took me to another workshop and the price was RM120.. wtf?? and the guy said leave the car there whole day.. NOO WAY mister..

so i took Kesh back to the courts and Dennis followed me to the 1st workshop.. i left my car there and the guy said i can get it back by 5pm.. just nice.. so Dennis took me back to the courts.. YOU BABI YOU FREAKING RIDE SO FAST!! sorry i drive a car so it doesnt feel that fast..

after i finished coaching, Ee Wei fetched my sis and i to the workshop and i got my car back the way it was.. THANK GOD!!

drove to Lip Sin and settled with that damn lady.. gave her RM35 to shut her up.. wont go into further details.. i'm just glad this is all behind me now.. i'll be more careful from now on although it wasnt my fault.. i've learned my lesson..

went back and bathed and went out again.. Uncle Shyang Guey is in town so we all had dinner together.. after dinner we all headed back and i watched some TV and ended up here.. so i guess that's it..

BREAKING NEWS!!

i got into an accident.. now now dont worry its just a minor accident.. no one was hurt.. at least not badly..

so this is how it went down.. i fetched Justin from his place and waited near Dinas for Nicole to finish with her cell group.. when she finished, she texted me and we head over to her friend's house.. as we came out, on a straight empty road, i was driving at about 40km/h and this M****R F*****G lady on a bike came out of no where and BAM!!

i swear to GOD that the 3 of us in the car didnt see her.. she just appeared.. bloody bitch.. all the eye-witnesses from Dinas said she was wrong and SHE DARE SAY SHE DIDNT SEE ME COMING!! and to make it worse, she's asking me to pay half!! i cant say no because if i did she would have reported to the police for insurance claim (if that low life even HAD insurance) and mine and Nicole's license would be revoked.. so its better to be the better person and give in.. that lady wants to take advantage.. her bike is like ancient and she say this spoil that spoil like it was my fault.. i mean her basket can be screwed back on and she say "i think have to change".. SCREW YOU BITCH..

tomorrow after coaching finishes at 1.30pm i have to fetch that low life again and take her back to my area to get her bike fixed.. and then i have to go back to the courts and coach from 4-5pm.. Sunday is Father's day and i do NOT want my dad to know about this.. it will kill his mood totally.. i must find a way to hide it or fix it before sunday.. gosh.. so much trouble caused by that ONE IDIOTIC PERSON..

i'm sorry Nicole, Justin for letting this happen when you both were in my car.. wait, Justin no.. he was like totally no feeling.. Nicole i havent seen you in so long and when i finally did tonight, this happened.. i will make it up to you..

not being totally vain and saying you guys will worry about me but PLEASE dont worry.. i'm gonna hit the sheets soon..

Sri Pinang & Tenby International Annual Cross Country 2008..

how did i do?

i finished second in the senior boys category.. but i was a little disappointed.. i could have done better.. WAY better.. Tsu Sheng (sorry if i misspelled) finished first.. i kept within a few feet throughout the race and managed to overtake him at the beginning of the second lap.. i had a pretty comfortable lead and that's when things start to go wrong.. i decided to stop for 5 seconds to remove the knee guard i was wearing.. it was more pain to my legs than it is helping my knee.. Tsu Sheng is faster than me up hill so he closed the gap.. he overtook me on the way up and i lost sight of him.. down hill, i was the faster guy so i managed to catch up with him.. but it was too late, he finished 18 seconds before i did.. there was also a point when we were supposed to get the wristbands as our checkpoint markers.. the St. John people gave him the wristband and didnt prepare one for me when i was just behind him.. i ran past them saying i dont want it and they made me come back to take it.. i mean come on, there were at least 4 people there, so what's so hard asking another person to hold up the wristband so that i can run smoothly? anyway, what's done is done.. it was good competition..

the overall title was won by Green house.. i guess most of their members were running although very few had medals.. they were consistent.. i would have loved to hold the pewter overall trophy up high but it wasnt meant to be..

here are some of the pictures taken by Nicholas Lee with my camera..

preparing..

the Green army..

doing nothing also wanna take picture.. =.=

stretching.. DUH!

they look eager to start the run but trust me, as soon as the flag came down, they walked.. =.="

and after we finished, the open event started.. teachers and parents, ready.. get SET.. GOOO!!

haha!! Mr Heah (green shirt far right) is so hyper today..

Mr Neoh.. eventual open event winner..

Mr Heah!! haha..

Ms Chang (blue)..

Ms Joyce and Ms Meighala (PE teacher)

Mdm Yeoh, Mr Siaw and Wazien..

Champion..

and the almost champion..

Lin Kai receiving the overall PEWTER trophy..

LOL

i guess that's all there is.. squash training tomorrow!! i cant wait to play again..

to my faithful readers..

after the recent events that triggered my emo side, i have been able to cope relatively well.. please DO NOT worry about me.. i have not commited suicide and i did not cry non stop.. although i admit there were SOME tears.. Allan should be laughing just as he finish reading the word "tears"..

i have been fine for the past few days and i would appreciate it if some people stop asking how i've been.. obviously i wasnt fine when it happened and i'm really trying to put things behind.. like in my MSN personal message : its time to let go.. re-write this little story of mine..

and no, this post is NOT emo..

anyway, cross country is this Friday and i'm aiming for a top 2 finish.. i would really love to win but i do not wanna pressure myself.. i know i have some competition but i am optimistic.. winning this cross country would be a huge mental boost for me.. after all the setbacks i've suffered..

anyway its getting late and i'm really behind on my sleeping hours so its time i go..

ivan..

2008-06-10T17:12:00.010+08:00

i have found a way to temporarily take my mind off the events of the past few days..

PHOTOS!!

yup i have finally found my photos from my recent trip to the United States.. i went there in December last year and i visited places like San Fancisco, Las Vegas, and yes, California..

here are some pictures i picked out from the whole lot..

*note : pictures are not in order..

Lake Tahoe.. beautiful place..

look alike? oh hell no!!

forgot where this is already but i love the scenery..

never got the chance to go into the shop.. this is in a hotel by the way.. in Vegas..

same hotel.. more like a resort..

HAHA!! i thought the girls might like seeing this.. this Forever 21 stores sure beats the ones we have in Malaysia, no?

souvenir shopping..

i'm here to raid Goofy's mail..

having ramen at Hong Kong airport..

CRABS!! waiting for our clam chowder at a San Francisco market..

in a huge chocolate shop..

thank you AMO person for taking this picture.. =]

SNOW!!

snow isnt much fun when you're hit by it huh?

you have no idea how cold it was......

i think i was frozen into this pose.. or maybe stuck to the sign..

that is the Grand Canyon in the background.. but snow isnt exactly making it easy to see..

did i mention how cold it was??

outside Universal Studios.. this picture looks like the one Randy had quite some time ago..

retarded pose.. but who cares? we're in a theme park.. have FUN!

Flintstone BBQ in Universal Studios.. very nice..

WTF?? so BIG!!

with Pepsi in one hand and Starbucks in the other...... i have no idea what i was trying to do..

lol.. if you dont understand this sign, then you are ONE..

LOL?

NO MORE FINE PRINT

to YOU

i know somehow all this will get to you or you will eventually read it by yourself.. if you think i am childish just because SOME SONS-OF-B****ES from Penang Free says so, then you dont know me at all.. i do not know how my behaviour seems to people around me but i believe i'm not childish.. to find out that you believe what those guys from your church who used to be my schoolmates say about me is just unbelieveable.. i've tried many times to enlighten you about them but you refuse to see them as i do.. you have not seen them and how they talk about girls, about YOU but yet you sound so certain when you denied all my accusations.. those people have never liked me and i didnt know that untill it was too late.. they pretended to be my friends but actually wanted to screw me up.. if YOU think they are such good people, then i'm disappointed at myself for not being able to show you the truth..

if you have heard the things they have said about girls and about you before then you wouldnt be so sure anymore would you? but you have told me before that its normal for guys to be like that when i told you about a certain S.O.B awhile ago.. if that is normal behaviour for a guy, then i dont know what planet you live on.. if guys like that are normal to you then what am i to you? i'm curious..

and if being nice is such a bad thing, then its no wonder the guys YOU know are all messed up.. i have never heard of someone being too nice.. perhaps only in a story book.. i dont hate you for the failure of my pursuit.. but what i dont like is the way you dealt with me.. you might not talk to me ever again after seeing this.. if after reading this, you do not want to talk to me, you do not wanna be friends with me, then i'm lost for words.. i'm sorry if i ever TROUBLED you because those people teased you.. but keep in mind that they teased me too and if you think i wanted them to tease the both of us, YOU ARE WRONG..

i lost faith in a thing everyone seek called love before.. but seeing you made me wanna believe in it again.. i thought i found it in you but it never came.. now i ask myself what is love? if you ask me now i would say love is pain and suffering.. or i would perhaps just tell you love is fictional.. it might not exist.. why is it that people seek for it when most do not know the meaning of it? everyone has their own opinion to what love truly is.. but has it ever been proven that this thing called love is real? whatever it is, for those of you who have found or thought you've found love, then i'm happy for you all.. because its the one thing i have doubts of more and more everyday..

i might not look good at all but i am who i am.. it has always been hard for me to open up to someone but i did with you.. and i also used to trust many people but after recent events including this one, my circle of trust got smaller.. and opening up to someone else wont be that easy anymore.. what happened with you made me fear the worst.. now i fear of being hurt again.. i guess i just dont have to go looking for that thing called love to not get hurt..

i'm just going to stop here.. i cant take it anymore.. i cant say more of these things because it will just remind me of how deep i went..

i loved you and now i doubt love's existence..
things will never be the same..
how i regret it all..

Sekolah Sri Pinang..

yesterday was SSP's Teacher's Day celebration.. it was a whole lot of fun.. we started the day preparing for the whole thing while the Tenby people went for their usual Friday swimming.. we started making the Roti balls for the games.. i'll just let the picture do the talking..

here we go.. mixing em' up..

yup.. the balls..

busy busy..

the teachers..

and so, the performances began........

Johnny and Takamasa, Taka for short, performing____ i forgot what song already.. HAHA

Tenby people performing Mandy Moore's acoustic version of Umbrella.. not good.. *booo!*

Johnny, Chee Chiang, Li Ming (i think), and Inn Inn performing the chinese version of How Do I Live Without You..

time for the Riddles.. its Team SSP/Tenby against Team Teachers..

Team SSP/Tenby.. GO! GO!

and........

the teachers.. booo!! LOL kidding..

surprisingly, the students won.. hahaha.. take that teachers!!

and now the "physical" challenge.. on the student's side, we have Chou Yong, Phillip, and another Tenby kid.. on the teacher's side we have MR SIAW!!! (my form teacher), Mr Lim, and Pn. Syamala (boooo!!)..

the Tenby boy.. he took FOREVER to TRY (notice i use the word try) to get the slipper into the bucket..

Phillip finding the sweets..
GO MR SIAW!!
WHOO!! tornado? hurricane? typhoon? lol..

the teacher's won the challenge.. WTF right?

so those who lost the Riddles and the Challenge will have to eat our Roti balls.. it has mysterious content.. muahahahaha!!

pick a ball, any ball.. LOL..

what did you get? what did you get?

LOL!! Michael got wasabi!!!

HAHAHAHA!! Kena Mabel's home-grown chilli padi..

raw pepper.. LOL..

lazy to add all the other pictures already.. if you want to see, mcheck my Facebook.. i might post it there.. or Friendster.. i totally forgotten my Multiply account..

we went to Tin Club to play league also yesterday.. we won 4-1.. but i lost in a 5 set match.. i shouldnt have lost.. i really regretted not pushing for the last 2 points.. maybe because i didnt have someone there to support me.. i usually play well when that person is around.. well, at least i think so.. had dinner with the Tin Clubbers after that and went home..

today, morning runs returns.. haha.. Hayate, Dennis and i have to run 8.. the other seniors weren't around.. Nic, Ryan, Wee Nee, and Jee Nee had training so they didnt come either.. i ran very slow.. and i was suffering the whole way..

went back to courts for training and Dennis and i almost punched that piece of shit of a monkey in the face.. long story.. bottomline is, we're pissed.. he'll get what he deserves one day.. just wait..

had lunch at the courts with Nicholas and Allan was going "Ivan.. How??" the whole time.. again, long story.. before my class started, there was alot of drama going around.. i'm sure the squashers will know what i'm talking about.. joined Ee Wei's and my class together because she's not around..

now to the end of my blog.. i'm sure Allan, Nic, Uncle Alvin and all are just waiting for this.. as you all should know by now, the reply came.. and its not good news.. and i cant say i didnt expect it.. i cant say i wasnt disappointed either.. its just sad to know i've waited for so long and ended up with nothing.. hey, i have to say this isnt the forst time i got this bad news.. but i guess Nic was right.. i AM stubborn.. i didnt wanna listen to those around me who cared.. i ended up inflicting more pain on myself.. i should have bailed the first time.. but i didnt.. i cant say i regretted it either.. i had good times (at least i think so).. i know you guys care and just want what's best for me but i cant just push it all away and say it never happened.. i started it and i cant end it.. i just dont know why am i ppushed away.. i dont think i'm that bad of a person at all.. anyway i guess i'll stop here.. saying more wont help either.. this day couldnt end any worse.. and since there is no need for fine prints anymore, i shall do what you all suggested and make it bigger..

its seems like its over now.. but i'm too stubborn..
my feelings for you will always be there.. too bad it isnt going to help..

yesterday was the final day of PBA Penang Junior Open.. *plays sad music* i'm already missing the tournament.. it was so much fun i tell you..

anyway, watched my friends play again.. showed support and cheered for them.. i wanted to take pictures of the prize giving ceremony but Matthew asked me to take him to collect his laundry.. =.= so i asked Dennis to take the pictures.. it turned out bad.. haha no offense to you Dennis but your photography skills suck.. XP

anyway, went to Queensbay after that with Nicholas and Dennis.. Dennis went there by bike and i fetched Nic.. we decided to watch Superhero Movie.. the show is damn funny i tell you.. it was so stupid.. but not bad.. its a good show to watch when you are down (Nicholas and Dennis would know what i'm talking about).. Guo Lian was in the same cinema as us and we met out side after the movie ended.. Nicole and Yan was also there but watching What Happens in Vegas which started after Superhero.. they were in the same cinema as four other people from squash also.. Yan called me just to tell me that.. =_="

after that we went to the arcade and bumped into the Kelantan guys, Saiful, Safwan, and Allen.. raced with them and then went our separate ways.. took Nic home and then went back myself.. wanted to refuel my car before the price increases but all the stations were full.. decided to refuel at night after tuition but same thing.. so i ended up refueling today at the new price..

school today was, well, boring? planned for teacher's day all day.. we're celebrating tomorrow.. i also have to play for SAP tomorrow.. SAP is going to Tin Club to play against them.. i hope i can play well.. after all that has happened since yesterday and all the things i was told? i really have to pull myself together and not disappoint my team.. will go all out..

i guess that's all for now.. will try to update about Teacher's Day and the league match..

will i ever get your love in return?

2008-06-04T00:58:00.010+08:00

i didnt post last night because i was too lazy.. anyway here are the updates..

i didnt have any matches on monday but i went there anyway to support my friends.. i also went there because i didnt wanna go to school.. anyway, went out for lunch with Wee Nee and Andria.. none of the guys were there during lunch.. ate at McD Tesco and saw Mukhzani and the Tin Club gang.. Mukhzani joined us for lunch and then followed us back to the courts..

now i know why Andria took my phone.. =.= nothing better to do..

we played some squash when we got back to the courts.. Wee Nee had to practise for her match.. so after the afternoon session started, i went around watching my friends matches.. then it was time to prepare for the dinner.. took my bath and fetched Nic, Ryan and Mukhzani to Gurney to buy the prizes for the performance.. after that, off to Cititel..

arrived in time but found out that the Penang team's performance wasnt decided yet.. anyway, dinner began soon after.. as we were taking our seats, Nic and Dennis decided to push me away from their table and so i went over to Wee Nee and Andria's table.. Ryan was there too.. so the dinner began.. we ate.. and then it was time for the performance.. i'll let the pictures do the talking..

ROAR!! them Kiwis doing the Hakka (sorry if i spelled it wrong)

err.. South Africans? dont remember..

Team India doing some tradisional Punjab dance.. =.=

Kung-Fu fighting!! : team S'pore imitating Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker in Rush Hour..

Penang's very own DENNIS BOON!! doing the shuffle..
*Max i know u wanted to see him shuffle so i took a video

this guy did a handstand and "walked" around the whole stage

the more senior South Africans.. singing their way to 1st prize.. nice song guys!

when the dinner ended, everyone had a great time and we went back to get a good night's sleep

i had to play against Dennis this morning.. i beat him 2-1.. hit quite a few nick shots.. when it was time for lunch, Nic, Ryan, Andria, Mukhzani and Dennis followed me to Tesco (again).. Wee Nee couldnt make it because she had a 3pm match and she wasnt sure if we will be back in time.. for the record, we were back in time.. Nic and I had the Mega Mac.. my advise is DONT EVER EAT THE MEGA MAC UNLESS YOU PLAN NOT TO EAT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.. madness.. it was HUGE!!

back at the courts, we played some squash and then rested for our afternoon matches.. watched Wee Nee's match.. she played against this South African girl.. Wee Nee won.. then it was my turn to play.. i played against Luke Sims, an Aussie.. he's quite friendly.. but he was late for the match.. Wee Nee, Andria, Nic and Chetvinder was there to support me.. unfortunately i didnt do enough to win.. i felt bad for disappointing them..

watched Nic's match later on and then got ready for tuition.. reached the tuition centre in time.. after the class i went back and had dinner.. its like 2.30am now and i gotta leave early again tomorrow.. friends at school said nothing is happening at school this week so i wont go tomorrow.. i'd rather go watch some squash and support my friends.. might be going to Queens with the guys tomorrow.. that's all i guess..

random pictures..

my shirt got dirty thanks to Wee Nee and Andria.. no thanks =.=

teaching Wee Nee how to use the com.. LOL.. took so long to finish that small list wei..

Me. Mukhzani.. he looks so amo-ish

Ryan. me... like a brother to me

hungry people + food = traffic jam!

apani? orang tengah makan janganlah ambil gambar..

ALLAN!! before you say anything, same goes for Max, DONT SAY IT.. lol.. just a picture..

Dennis.me.Wee Nee.Andria after the dinner

i didnt colour the names and bold-ify (haha new word) or incline them because i wanna sleep now! oh one last thing, now i know Allan shows Wee Nee my blog and many others.. =.= well, everything said here is straight up and all facts.. haha.. nothing to hide here Allan.. XP

all i need is you~~

2008-06-01T22:22:00.002+08:00

ok i'm really mad at myself.. i should have beaten that S'pore guy just now but i didnt.. i was down 5-0 in the first set but i changed the pace and took the set 9-5.. the second set i got a bit over confident and let him read my game.. i made mistakes and the ref had many bad calls.. i totally gave up in the 3rd set.. jz handed the game to him..

dad is asking me to go to school tomorrow after my match.. i was like WTF?? and i already have permission from the state AND the school to not go.. i'll see how things go.. i really dont wanna drive to the courts in the morning and then later take a shower and change into uniform and then go to school for awhile and back to the courts.. FUEL AINT CHEAP.. and besides, i dont even know if i'm allowed to go to school after de school gates close.. whatever..

tomorrow will also be our Penang Open dinner.. i'll be driving there of course.. just dont know where to park.. today was pretty awesome.. first, i get to spend a little time with someone (Allan if you are reading this which i know you will, dont say anything).. i was happy to see her and she looked real good (again, Allan, dont say anything).. i'm just glad..

anyway i guess that's it.. got some packing to do..

i lost my match.. not an unfamiliar thing these days.. BUT i was the 19th seed.. and i played against the 14th.. and yup, he's an aussie.. i could have beaten him.. and i do not wanna blame my new shoes but my foot did hurt alot when i wore it.. i changed into my old pair in the 3rd set and managed to be more agile on court.. but it was too late and i was dissapointed, again, not unusual..

will be playing some S'porean tomorrow.. i will win that match.. i cant let this slip away.. its a must win or i shouldnt even think of 3rd Leg SportExcel..

took my family out for dinner just now.. now when i say took them for dinner, i meant drove them.. the bill is still on them.. it was ok and my dad just gave me a few tips and stuff.. i think my driving is pretty good so far.. will be driving to the squash court tomorrow morning (ALONE) for the first time.. mum said its ok.. maybe its also because i have to be there so early.. LOL..

i guess that's all i have for now.. here are some pictures i took with my phone..

what's wrong with me in her eyes?

I got my license!!!

yeah no kidding.. my instructor passed it to me just now my P sticker.. now my Myvi has the P sticker and i can officially drive out on the road.. but my mum aint letting me drive alone just yet.. my judgement still not good enough..

on to other things, i bought a new pair of squash shoes (yes, again) for Penang Junior Open.. my first Mizuno.. no actually my old pair is wearing out and i need the new one in case anything happens to the old.. but i'm wearing it for the tournament..

the original shoelace was white but i changed it to red to add more colour in it..

the tournament begins tomorrow and i think i'll be the second last ranked in u-19 so i'll most probably be playing with the 2nd seed (most likely Aussie).. i really just wanna play my best and enjoy what could be my last tournament of the year.. if any upsets come by, it'll be a bonus..

i guess that's all for now.. will try to update about my results and some pictures which i have failed to provide for many many previous tournaments.. i havent packed my stuff for tomorrow.. and i gotta leave early tomorrow.. Allan wants me to lend a hand before the tournament starts and i'm driving there so i need more time.. LOL.. adios!

still loving her and hope ONE day she will love me back

I NEED TO GO OUT!!

i havent been out with friends for a long long time and trust me, it aint fun.. and i havent watched a movie at the cinemas since Alvin and The Chipmunks.. and even that, was with my sister.. so yeah i'm desperate.. well, not really.. (Justin, by now u wud think of something to say already so save your breath and shut up)

SO MANY movies out already and i havent even watched one.. the only movies i watched lately are The Golden Compass which came out like ages ago, and two more on YouTube because i'm a fan of the actress.. (see previous post for details)

some of the MUST-SEE movies are :

Ironman..

yes i know its out quite a while already but like i said, no movies since chipmunks.. =.=

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

this movie should be good.. but Harrison Ford is a wee bit old for all this action isnt he?

The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian

This is a must watch.. i never got the chance to watch the previous one in the cinemas so maybe i will for this.. i got the book but i havent started reading it yet..

The Love Guru

you should have seen Guru Pitka on American Idol already.. he's funny as hell.. a MUST watch for sure..

You Dont Mess with the Zohan

another Adam Sandler movie.. how can i get enough of him? love his shows..

Hellboy II : The Golden Army

i didnt watch the 1st Hellboy at the cinemas.. in fact i'm not even sure if it was shown in the cinemas.. didnt exactly finish watching the show on tv anyway..

The Incredible Hulk

this one should be better than Hulk.. i mean, the previous one was a total mess.. i fell asleep watching it on tv.. can you imagine that? THE Hulk made me fall asleep!!

there are more movies to talk about but if i do mention all of them, this post might be too long if isnt already.. talking about real life now.. this is to the guys that are NOTINPENANGNOW.. i'm sure you would know who you are.. STOP MAKING BULLSHIT STORIES AND TELLING ME TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD OR JEALOUS OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU ARE TRYING.. just because i'm not there doesnt mean i cant get the truth.. i dont know which one of you i can trust these days.. i was talking to one of you online yesterday and i agree with what he said..

i went to the driving school again today.. did pretty well.. i'm really confident i will pass my drivers exam this thursday.. will go again tomorrow if my instructor wants me to.. finally got my L from my instructor after so long.. he actually forgot that he havent given it to me yet.. haha.. will not post a picture of it because i dont like my picture in it..

went to play football yesterday.. it was an acceptable performance considering the fact that i havent touched a football in like 2 months.. for the first time since playing at the big field near my house, i played as a centre-back.. Vickram's absence was worrying for our team but i think i did enough to deny the opponents their shot at goal.. i made a few crucial challenges to stop the very cocky, very talkative, and most of all very USELESS so-called-striker from getting his chances.. had a shot at goal but mis-kicked the ball.. injured my hip while taking a goal kick.. and tripped, tackled, and kicked a guy because i just didnt like his attitude.. i guess that's all.. you all are probably bored to death by now..

not giving a shit about them and hope she wont fall for their mind games

2008-05-26T00:45:00.002+08:00

i'm just going to start off this post talking about another rising star in Hollywood..

*drum roll*

EMMA ROBERTS

guess what? she's only 17 years old!! she's born on the 10th of Febuary.. she's also an Abercrombie model.. she stars in her own tv series called "Unfabulous" and starred in movies like "Aquamarine" (2006), "Nancy Drew" (2007), and "Wild Child" (2008).. she's Julia Robert's niece but i'm sure some of you would have got that figured out by now..

anyway.. went driving this morning.. i sucked!! will need to improve more for thursday's exam.. GOD! i'm so nervous.. will be going to bed now.. so freaking tired.. ciao!

missing her..
ivan

2008-05-23T23:50:00.004+08:00

this is a reply to Max's blog :
STOP RUBBING IT IN MY FACE!! ITS BAD ENOUGH YOU ALL ARE THERE AND I'M STUCK HERE!!

anyway.. DAVID COOK WON AMERICAN IDOL!! his performances are just outstanding.. i like the songs Dream Big and Time of My Life.. those two will probably be the two songs on his album..

moving on to other things.. MY EXAMS ARE OVER!! well, mid-term that is.. will have to work extra hard for trials and SPM.. i did really badly this time.. =(

the team (most of it) left for Milo All Stars today.. only a few are left behind and i'm one of them.. those who didnt get to go are :

Me
Andria
Dennis
Jonathan
the rest is not important..

will have to train very hard this week.. PBA Penang Junior International Open is just around the corner and i will be one out of the only two Malaysians in the u-19 boys category.. my target is move up at least one place from my seeding.. the draw isnt out yet so i dont know my seeding.. but i think i'll be second last because the guys from New Zealand, Australia, Japan, S'pore, India and so on are pretty good..

drivers test is next wednesday *screams in agony*.. i'm a little worried about my clutch and accelerator balancing.. i'm not really that good yet.. but i should be fine.. will be going to the driving school on sunday and maybe monday with Melvin..

tomorrow will be another long day.. will go to the squash court early to play with Christine and Dennis.. i havent seen Christine in ages so it'll be nice.. i have training at 11am and when i finish at 12.30pm, i will go straight to take over Kok Sin's class.. will get a little rest for lunch and then 4pm my usual class.. i just hope my class will be better tomorrow.. so in total i will have 2 classes.. unless any other coach wants me to replace them.. i would be happy to do it.. seriously need the cash..

anyway i guess i'll end this post here.. my head kinda hurts already.. no idea why.. oh and i got back my phone.. it has finally been repaired..

i miss seeing you smile..

2008-05-21T22:28:00.003+08:00

some people might know that what i'm about to say is about them..

if they do read this of course..

everyday i try to live my life the best i can.. everyday i wake up and go to school or for squash training.. everyday, i'm just plain old Ivan Ng keeping it low key.. i've never been the popular one, or the successful one.. i've always just been.......me.... i've never broken any rules (most of the time), nor have i been on the bad side of authority..

i've faced many backstabbers in these 17 years and 2 months in this harsh world.. i've dealt with one when i was 14.. another when i was 15.. pretty much every year.. but i soon come to realise that in my small circle of friends, only FEW can be trusted.. i dare say if i close my eyes and point at any one direction, i'll most probably point at a double-crosser..

i hate these kind of people.. who doesnt? but some embrace this act of betrayal.. some people treat you nice and tell you they will help you no matter what.. now, i dont trust these people.. its these people that are the ones who will end up betraying you.. i've trusted many.. only few have proved to be trustworthy.. friends i keep close contact with are friends i know can be trusted.. i'm really sick of traitors.. its not hard to gain my trust.. i trust almost anyone.. but many take advantage of it.. bottom line is, i dont trust people these days..

moving on to things that matter.. exams are totally gone this time.. ZERO preparation.. i think i did enough for physics but chemistry and bio can be labelled as total loss.. anyway, i had to play for SAP in the state squash league today.. my opponent from D' Challengers is Steven.. i've played him many times before but the head to head is pretty much 50-50.. so i thought i should train before my match.. i did.. unfortunately, training made me tired.. when i played Steven, i did ok in the 1st set.. i took it 10-9.. but from then onwards it was downhill.. i lost the match 10-9, 1-9, 1-9, 1-9.. my back was hurting again and i couldnt move on court.. i felt so bad for letting my team down.. Nicholas had already secured a point for us, beating Simon.. Allan bet 10bucks on me so he lost the bet.. He then gave our team the lead by beating Thomas.. Thomas couldnt last long and decided to go back with what's left.. he retired.. i went back before the last 2 games were played so i wouldnt know the score.. Max played against Boon senior and Jonathan against OPK.. i'm sure they won easily..

tomorrow is add maths.. another killer.. the last day will be ICT and moral.. useless subjects on the last day.. wonderful.. Christine will be playing with Dennis and myself this saturday.. her timing couldnt be better.. the team will be leaving for Milo All Stars and obviously, i'm not one of the stars.. havent seen Christine in a while.. i'll have to boost my fitness and train harder if i am to have any chances of making the top half of the upcoming Penang Junior Open.. and drivers test is next thursday which is like A WEEK from now.. great.. "no pressure"

i'll end it here.. i dont wanna get caught using the computer.. will be watching the Champions League Final between Manchester United and Chelsea.. i will colour and and change the size of the fonts after exams.. till next time..

2008-05-17T19:14:00.003+08:00

first of all, i wanna make a bday shoutout to :

Melvin Chuah - 16th May
turned 17.. you're getting old boyy.. and i will be street-legal sooner than you.. XD great friend.. have been besties since form 1.. havent gone out with him for ages.. holiday, jom!

Andria - 16th May
turns 15.. have been very close for bout 2 years? knows pretty much all my dirty-little-secrets.. haha.. pretty awesome person.. interested? call me i'll hook you up.. LOL sry Andria

Dennis Boon - 17th May
*picture unavailable*
turns 17.. have been training with him for almost 2 years already i think..

lets talk bout my fucked up week shall we?

lets start with tuesday.. had chemistry paper 1, 2, and 3.. i was like staring at the paper for so long without any answers.. at least in paper one i could just SHOOT.. anyway, didnt care much after all.. nothing i could do anyway.. i didnt study.. simple as that..

wednesday wasnt as bad.. had BM1 & 2 and history 1.. BM was pretty simple for me because, well, its a language subject.. history wasnt as bad as i thought.. i actually know stuff.. haha.. no training for that day though..

thursday was Eng 1 & 2 and history 2.. english was wayy too simple.. but history got the best of me.. i could answer many questions.. frustrating as hell..

friday we had Maths 1 & 2 and econs which i'm not taking.. maths was simple in paper one.. paper two was slightly challenging for me.. but i'm confident i can score this time.. went back early with permission because sitting there and watching them take econs is just stupid.. followed mum to office and later to the courts.. while she played some racketball, i chat with the squashers.. saw someone also but MAX disturbed so i didnt get to chat.. =.= it was my cousin's bday as well so went to my aunt's house and celebrated..

woke up this morning and i was late for runs.. rushed like hell and got there in time.. only guess what? NO FREAKING RUNS!! i wasnt even notified.. Dennis showed up and so did Chetvinder.. so the 3 of us ran by ourselves.. came back and it was boring as hell till Wee Nee came.. she asked me to do some drilles with her so i did and then Dennis joined us for full court game.. training as usual.. waited damn long for my 4pm class to start and when it did.... total frustration!! my students were like sleeping! you know who you are i know you read my posts.. so please work harder..

my uncle from KL came so we went out for dinner together.. mum had company dinner so she wasnt there.. came back and here i am.. got scolded by my dad for apparently SPOILING THE OLD "SO CALLED" COMPUTER AND MAKING IT SO UN-RESPONSIVE BECAUSE I DOWNLOAD SONGS!!!!! yeah that sure spoils the computer.. then mum came back and i got scolded again.. what is this? scold-ivan-when-you-see-him day? i was so hapy this morning after spending some time with someone and everyone had to mess it up for me.. GIMME A BREAK PEOPLE!! everytime i have something good happen that day, surely everything else will fuck it up.. screw you all!!

will have driving lessons tomorrow so i can escape everyone till lunchtime.. come home i'm gonna lock myself in my room until tuition and then only dinner time come out.. i guess that's all.. sorry if i'm boring.. but seeing as you read all the way till this line shows you still wanna read..

2008-05-12T21:38:00.002+08:00

Mid Term exam countdown : TOMORROW!!

i'm totally screwed for tomorrow.. well, to tell you guys the truth, i'm actually screwed for the next 11 days.. why wouldn't i be? i'm here blogging instead of trying to study.. not that anything would go in anyway.. will be having all 3 chemistry papers tomorrow.. the best thing i can do is pray that my luck is good enough and that i can get the correct answers in objective.. i seriously dont get chemistry.. AND I GOT NO TUITION FOR IT!! is it too late to make time for Baskie tuition? but i'm sure Baskie wont take me in already i mean, its like half the year already!!

anyway, will be having BM1 & 2 and history paper one for wednesday.. i will study the novel stuff and all that and read up my history.. only 6 chapters coming out for history so there is still a slight chance i can make it.. i sound so pathetic dont i? will do the best i can with the time left.. i really dont want to be privately tutored for every subject..

school just now was un-productive.. teachers came in and asked us to do our own revision.. only Mr Siaw gave us maths questions.. i took 4 periods to write two Biology reports for peka.. slept through 3 periods.. parents wont be home till wednesday night.. i cant wait till they get home.. i means its kinda cool to be the man of the house but its exam season and i really need them to push me.. expecially mum.. i know i should be old enough to know when to play and when to study but i honestly dont.. its not nice to hear them say the same thing all over again but it helps.. without them around, i'm on vacation..

on to football.. Manchester United have been crowned Engligh Premier League 07/08 Season CHAMPIONS!! Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot to make it 31 EPL goals and 41 in total.. Giggs then sealed it with an easy goal which also sees him equaling Sir Bobby Charlton's appearance record.. but Bolton put the icing on the cake for the Devils.. Bolton scored a last minute equaliser to hold Chelsea and handing United the title.. bravo..

Manchester United.. true champions..
nest stop : Moscow
Manchester United vs Chelsea
UEFA Champions League FINALE
22nd May 2008

i should get slapped for talking bout this.. shouldn't i be studying? haha.. whatever.. SPM is the one i will look to.. i would like to apologise in advance to those who expects me to do well or at least maintain my previous exam's results.. my bad time management killed me this time..

regretting,
ivan..

2008-05-08T21:05:00.009+08:00

Mid Term exam countdown : 2 Days!!

GODDANDRUFF!! i didnt study at all.. but i promised myself i will start studying as soon as i stop competitive squash after Penang Junior Open ends.. what choice do i have?

anyway, friday was rather hectic.. it was PhotoDay for Sri Pinang.. we were taking photos of clubs, games, and uniform bodies for the school magazine.. i thought the uncle would come at 8am or something but Madam Chin told him to come at 10am because the Tenby students have swimming.. so that means we have to attend add maths..

delayed shoot = add maths lesson = Mr Siaw = sleepy

surprisingly, i didnt fall asleep during add maths.. i was like so proud!! anyway, the photographer uncle came and the editorial board met up with him and we set up the chairs and the benches.. i had to make the first announcement to call the uniform bodies to assemble at the car park.. i couldnt hear how i sounded on the PA system but thankourohsowonderfulmadamchin for making me make the announcement again..

anyway, i didnt get into the scouts picture.. didnt want to anyway.. Mabel and I pretty much ran the whole shoot.. LUCKILY, i found a natural born announcer.. *drum roll* HANEESHA!!.. thankmyluckystars she wanted to do it.. thanks so much Haneesha! i was only in one picture this time.. it was for football.. so i will have a total of 3 appearances for the school magazine not counting the candid ones..

skipped scouts to help write the addresses to send our hopefully-soon-to-be sponsors for the magazine.. was supposed to have mother's day dinner but grandma wasnt feeling well so had to cancel.. so went to aunt's house instead.. dad stayed home with grandma..

saturday, didnt get to go for runs.. parents had a flight to Bangkok.. went for training later on.. once again, it was frustrating.. i think i put too much pressure on myself.. it just sucks.. had to assist Chiew Ping.. Teng Hin said i didnt complete my hours which also means, no salary for me for the past 3 classes.. =.=

had driving lesson this morning.. did ok i guess.. a few more runs and i will be ready for the exam.. at least there is one exam i'm prepared for.. came back and fell asleep after watching Zoolander.. its some stupid show starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrel.. its bout some idiotic male supermodel who got beaten by this new dude in some model award.. he then gets brainwashed to kill the PM of Malaysia because the fashion industry practises child labour and the PM wants to stop it.. de whole show is just plain DUMB but funny.. its banned in Malaysia though.. stupid officials so bloody sensitive just cause the Malaysian PM is a chinese named Hassan.. i love the casting crew for getting a chinese dude to be the PM.. screw those people who banned the movie from cinemas and Astro..

Felipe Massa won the Turkish Grand Prix which just ended.. and now i'm watching Manchester United vs Wigan Atheletic.. United only need to get the same results as Chelsea to win the EPL.. but i do want them to win the game.. GO RONALDO!!

ivan..

2008-05-07T08:33:00.007+08:00

29th May - going for "P" exam..
31st May-4th June - Penang Junior Open

this month sucks.. =.=

watched The Messengers last night.. Kristen Stewart stars in this sort-of-horror movie.. i gotta say she's mighty fine.. and she's ONLY 18!! date of birth? 9th April 1990.. haha.. not bad..

4 of my favourite actresses are born in the same month as i am!!

Jamie Spears - 4th APRIL 1991 (same date man!!)

Emma Watson - 15th April 1990

Kristen Stewart - 9th April 1990

Amanda Bynes - 3rd April 1986

sorry, i really have nothing interesting to tell you guys.. that's all for now i guess..

2008-05-03T20:38:00.002+08:00

i went driving again yesterday.. screwed up alot.. but after awhile, got the hang of it.. earlier that day, scouts in school as usual.. this time I DID NOT SKIP.. i feel so proud.. BUT we had marching all the way.. the one day i went for scouts without complaints, it had to be marching.. =.=

anyway, morning runs as usual this morning.. kesh was in charge.. i ran so fkin slow today.. it was very frustrating and i was disappointed.. i blame friday's marching for slacking.. there was some issue involving Max and the crow.. i wont elaborate on that.. was so effing tired.. training was also frustrating, my shots were totally off.. got so mad i actually stepped on my racket..

after lunch and a nice shower, mum dropped my sis for private coaching.. she wasnt exactly helping me get over my frustration either.. in fact, she added to it.. ahhh!!! stupid day.. wanted to take a nap after the lesson but couldnt keep my eyes shut.. started taking over Aik Ping's class today.. if i could show you guys the look on my students' faces when they found out i was their coach from now on i would.. priceless.. anyway, quite a fun session.. totally KO-ed in the car on the way home.. had DURIANS for dinner (weird huh?)..

watched football after that.. Manchester United beat West Ham United 4-1!! Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the first 2 goals and United went 3 up with a stunning Carlos Tevez goal.. Dean Ashton pulled one back for West Ham before Nani got sent off for a headbutt on Lucas Neil.. Michael Carrick then scored in the second half to seal it for United.. god i sound like a newspaper report..

i'm sure you guys have seen those players i mentioned before so i wont post pictures of them..

i guess that's all.. i'm going for driving tomorrow morning.. XD

ivan..

2008-05-01T14:51:00.003+08:00

so tuesday wasnt eventful as usual.. our timetable has been changed so we have PE.. played doubles badminton.. i partnered my classmate and my PE teacher, Mr Neoh, partnered another classmate.. the bet was a can of 100 plus for each player.. we lost two games so yeah, 2 cans from me, two from my partner.. went to get my eye checked after school.. my power went up.. there was alot of difference compared to my contact lens power so that explains the blur-ness.. wont be able to get my lenses for another 2 weeks.. but i will have to wear the old ones when i hv squash.. so it means i gotta wear specs to school.. AAAHHH!!

yesterday we had to go to Kompleks Tabung Haji for an exhibition.. was actually for us to enquire with universities and institutions regarding our future.. what courses to take and all that.. usually happens in school but this time they made the entire form 5 population of Penang island and the mainland go to the facility for this.. it started on monday and yesterday was the last day.. i was actually trying to look for my friends.. any friends from any school will do but i guess they went on the earlier days.. the whole day sucked.. dont want to elaborate on why it sucked.. training was normal.. but had sprints after that.. my ass hurts now..

Yang, Nic, Johnny.. just left the school..

credits to Nic for this picture.. i didnt even know he took this picture..

Johnny and Nic looking at the brochures from the universities..

no one's even talking.. but i gotta say i'm glad there were no speeches..

look at the number of people there.. and there were more outside.. and its the last day of the exhibition.. how many students ARE there in Penang?

LOL.. johnny trying to escape Nic's and Yang's KISS OF DEATH!!

Yong, craziest guy in school.. Nic, pro BBQ-er..

watched Ah Long Pte Ltd at night after tuition.. it was so damn funny i tell you.. but only at the begining.. as the show went on, it became more serious and dull.. the funny parts were great..

today is Labour Day.. nothing great.. went to get a hair cut.. its short now.. and it feels great.. the weather has been so hot these days i just feel like i can collapse from heat stroke anytime.. will be doing my moral folio after posting this..

tomorrow is a friday.. i hate fridays.. scouts after school as usual.. i'm starting to hate scouting.. in my PFS days i dont hate it as much because i was inactive and even if i go for the meetings, it isnt as much work as SSP.. whatever it is, i'm just doing it because its compulsory.. its my SPM year and i aint gonna flush my future down the drain for scouts.. THAT person can shout all he wants and i still wont work harder for scouts..

i'll just stop here.. gotta finish as much of my moral folio as possible..

first of all i would like to apologise to my faithful readers (not many of you anyway) for not posting for bout a week.. didnt get the chance to go online much.. and i have folio and editorial stuff.. both still not complete.. so yeah..

lets start from monday.. school reopened after two weeks of term break.. normal la school.. what can change in two weeks? so screw it.. went to training after that.. the courts was so empty.. i trained with Natasha and Yoko..

tuesday, our new timetables came were not given yet so it was kinda screwed up.. anyway, normal stuff again.. nothing special.. went for tuition and honestly, i didnt know what PC Chai said.. i missed the previous lesson so i kinda got lost..

wednesday, skipped training to go for my 3 hours practical.. the guy guided me for bout 1 1/2 hours and then left me to drive alone.. i can say i'm quite gud at it already.. first try too.. so proud.. awaiting L license.. didnt go for tuition because i was back late after driving..

thursday, morning runs for all SSP and Tenby students.. ran at Gurney Drive.. so nice.. schooling as usual after that.. cant exactly remember what i did after school.. lol.. dammit i'm forgetful..

now we come to friday.. funny shit i tell you.. after classes we have scouts as usual.. i called my mum and got permission letter to get outta there.. i didnt wanna go for scouts.. as i entered my car, our oh-so-"wonderful"-scout-master Mr *******, marched up to my car.. and its amazing because he aint exactly a light person.. he made the effort to march up to the gates to stop me.. then he opened my car door and asked me where i was going..

note: when reading this conversation, picture a pissed of man and a teenager who just wants to go home..
X : where are you going?
me : gotta go.. got things to do.. (WTF?!)
X : do you have the green slip?
me : yes..
*X takes a look at the slip*
me : i got permission from

and already..
X : oh so you have squash practise?
me : err.. yeah.. and i told already..
X : I RUN THE SCOUT TROOP NOT MR !!
*slams car door*
me : asshole..
mum : you lied to your teacher? you dont have squash practise..
me : *HUGE grin*

so yeah, he's super pissed at me.. haha.. whatever..

saturday, runs as usual.. exercise and training.. no coaching though.. got ready for the MGS Concert.. parents fetched me and dropped me straight to Melvin's house.. havent been there in ages.. waited for Justin and then we took off.. arrived at Dewan Sri Pinang and Justin had to collect his tickets.. we then went for our dinner.. Mel, Dex, and myself got our tickets.. went in and bumped into familiar faces.. Mervyn, Zachary, Henry.. the orchestra and choir were pretty good.. during the interval, went out to get drinks.. met Greg, Sean, Benny.. unfortunately, i recieved calls saying that Justin is wanted back at the hall.. rushed back, too late.. the jazz performance was about to begin.. i would like to apologise if anyone is angry at me for failing to bring Justin back to the hall in time.. haha.. the whole gang sat together this time.. after the wonderful jazz performance which made us so high we were doing mexican waves and cheering louder than the whole left section of the hall, we went home..

i really gotta say, after seeing those guys again, i realised how much i missed having them around everyday.. need to go out with them soon!

anyway, sunday wasnt much after all the hype on saturday.. bought revision books.. yes you read correctly.. REVISION BOOKS!!

today isnt much either.. missed training.. was just too tired.. will be checking my eye tomorrow.. eyesight getting worse.. i guess i'll stop here.. sorry for not posting any pictures.. the concert was too up-tempo for us to slow down and take pics.. till then..

2008-04-20T00:19:00.002+08:00

saturdays.. usual stuff.. i bet frequent visitors of my blog would know the next few lines or paragraphs.. am i right?

went for runs this morning.. 8 laps as usual.. i was the fastest if you dont count Ryan, Ryosei or Misaki.. but without Yassin, Nic, Max, and althought i hate to mention it, the crow, finishing the fastest isnt much..

exercises as usual.. watched the friendsly between Sarawak SUKMA against Penang SUKMA.. tried to book court but no more left.. played back-court with Ryan and OPK.. haha.. training as usual.. kena lecture from Uncle Peter..

rested, bathed, had lunch, and slept.. then i woke up and took over Ee Wei's class.. i was assisted by Low Wee Nee.. went back after that and headed to Giant to get groceries.. went back and then out again for dinner..

will be going for the 3 hour theory course tomorrow and i really hope i dont fall asleep.. i mean, i'm still awake now and its like 1.15am already.. whatever..

2008-04-18T21:56:00.002+08:00

today is the last day of SAP League 2nd Leg..

i played against Dennis.. i'm not exactly happy with my game.. i mean, i know i can beat him 3-0 but it took me 5 sets to beat him.. it just sucks.. i've been struggling throughout the whole tournament and i really do hope that this slump wont carry on till the Penang Junior Open.. i really dont wanna suck this badly in PJO..

i guess i'll have to work even harder during training sessions.. i have to boost my fitness as well.. i have been playin one too many five-set matches this week and my fitness level shows on court.. i mean, breathing difficulties? back aches? cramped leg? its not exactly rare but, all 3 together in a match? that's just bad..

most of the elite team will be away in Terengganu for SUKMA and the only seniors left in Penang should be Nic, Wee Nee, Dennis, and myself so it there would be a huge load of pressure on us to do well in PJO..

tomorrow, runs again as usual.. i dont think Max, Nic, Yassin and the crow will be running because the Sarawak SUKMA team is here.. anyway, i'm just gonna run.. i also have coaching later tomorrow..

i guess that's all i have for now.. it has been a very tiring 4 days for me mostly due to the fact that i had to play 15 sets in 3 days.. mad, i know..

ivan..

2008-04-18T01:03:00.002+08:00

updates from SAP League 2nd Leg..

guess what? i did not beat Jonathan that day.. i lost 2-3.. i was leading 2 sets to 0 and had match point untill everything went downhill.. it was so disappointing because i thought i had the best chance to win this time around.. anyway, a loss is a loss..

i played against Mukhzani today.. lost again.. guess what was the score... yup, 2-3... he took the first two sets and it looked like it was over.. i fought back to take the 3rd and 4th set.. everything went right in the 3rd and 4th.. but in the 5th, the mistakes that cost me my match against Jonathan came back and i lost..

this tournament has been very frustrating for me as i had trouble breathing during my matches, my drop shots never lived up to expectations, my drives werent tight enough.. to sum up the whole tournament for me in one word? LOUSY..

i'm playing against Dennis tomorrow for 7/8 place.. i really have to win this one.. i cant afford to lose.. if i lose then i think i will no longer be in the Division One in the 3rd Leg.. its been a frustrating week but something has brighten my mood and gave me a small consolation for my oh so lame holiday..

oh and did i mention that i passed my undang-undang exam? haha.. 47/50.. i will be going for the 3 hours theory on sunday and will start learning to drive soon.. a big CONGRATS to Nicholas Lee who passed his driving test today.. i do hope i can get my license by june before SSP have their 2 weeks break in july.. wish me luck..

i dont wanna say anymore.. i gotta get some sleep and make sure i am totally ready to face Dennis tomorrow.. words of wisdom from my dear coach Uncle Peter : "beating people you train with is nothing proud.. beat those higher than you, then you can brag" well, he sorta said that.. haha..

ivan..

2008-04-16T11:26:00.003+08:00

yesterday was the first day of the 2nd leg of SAP League.. due to the absence of many players for the SUKMA trials, there were many new faces in the Division One.. people like Mukhzani, Dennis, Clara, Jisha, Chetvinder and even Raaman..

Hayate is the favourite to win this time around and has been given top seeding.. He has beaten every player who is in this division before.. Ryosei, another japanese, is the second seed.. he's a totally different player compared to Hayate.. he likes to play a more flamboyant game.. the 3rd seed is Fakrul from perai who in the previous leg beat me in the last round to take 9th position.. i am the 4th seed.. the way i see it, its a tight battle for the title and i really hope i can play my best to challenge for it..

i played against Chet yesterday.. not exactly a tough match but he did make me sweat.. i beat him 10-8, 9-0, 9-4.. i will face Jonathan today.. i have beaten him in the first leg before and i know i can repeat that result today.. i've trained with him before in the past and i know his game.. i will go all out because this is a game i cant lose.. i have to at least reach the semis..

well, thats all this time around.. will update later tonight if possible about my quarter-final match with Jonathan..

2008-04-14T16:06:00.003+08:00

yesterday night i had a small dinner/bbq with a few of my friends.. well, i invited quite alot of people but most of them couldnt make it.. i guess its because it was a sunday.. so only 5 ppl turned up.. pathetic, i know.. but thanks to them, everyone had a good night.. Nicholas from school came, Andria, Melvin, Dexter, and Justin were here..

at first i felt bad because Andria was the only girl present.. "SOME" other people couldnt make it/didnt wanna come.. oh well right? so we ate and we talked and bla bla.. quite un-eventful tho.. but everyone got to know each other and well, enjoyed each other's company..

Mel, Dex, and Jus decided to stay overnight because they had no school today.. so after everyone went home, they too went back to get their stuff and came back at 11pm..

we watched football and later talked nonsense before we went to bed.. i pretty much got shot over and over again by Justin but, nothing unusual..

we woke up this morning and played the PS2 right after breakfast.. then we played mini football in the garden and it was a real good workout.. planned to go for lunch at Dinas but Justin left earlier and Mel and Dex had to leave right after we showered..

i have to study my undang-undang because i have the exam tomorrow.. no kidding man, if i do not pass (touch wood), i have to pay 35bucks to retake the exam.. so i really gotta study.. but my brain is kinda off today maybe due to the lack of sleep.. might take a short nap and read it later on.. tonight, The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be on AXN!! cant wait..

2008-04-13T02:16:00.003+08:00

saturdays are always the same..

runs, training, bla bla bla..

anyway.. runs this morning was terrible.. i kept up with Nic till lap 4 and totally fell behind after that.. even Hayate managed to catch me! after that we had exercises.. done it and rested.. Nic had coaching so the rest of us had nothing to do also because there was no courts left..

Max was so bored, he took picture of Ryan and me wearing my shoe.. WTF??

that's me in the yellow shirt..

during training that son-of-a-bi*tooooooot*ch Raaman tried to be better than me.. i wiped him out EASY.. he whacked so hard and thought he had it all but all i did was make him look like an idiot..

anyway, after all that, i had my lunch then took my bath.. sat at the canteen and kena nice shooting session from all the coaches.. a GREAT THANKS to KESH for "BACKING ME UP".. =.=

waited for my sis to finish her class and we went to Gurney.. bought some stuff to kill time and went to my mum's friend's grand-daughter's birthday party.. lol.. after that, went to Giant to buy some more stuff and came home..

well i guess that's it then.. i need to wake up early tomorrow and i'm still here.. going swimming at my cousin's place tomorrow.. ciao!

here's something different from my usual posts..

was looking through my Friendster profile pictures and i found these two pictures..

Kee Tat, Me, Benny, Melvin

this picture was taken during my form 3 year in PFS.. that was the year me all had to cut our hair short like those chinese schools but the rule didnt last long.. we eventually get to change back to our usual hairstyles.. we complained everyday during that time and it was around CNY time so we were extra sensitive about our hair.. makes me kinda miss PFS..

Justin, Alvin, Alex, Melvin, Kannah, Kee Tat..

i took this picture.. i think this was during our cross country in the same year as the picture above.. form 3 if i'm not wrong.. or maybe form 2.. we had fun during that day.. i got 9th place for the 15-16 age group.. we laughed and fooled around even before the run.. it was a fun day.. that was only the second cross country i ever took part in PFS.. four years there and i missed two.. sports events in PFS are alot different from SSP.. its bigger.. PFS always had the competitive edge in sports.. everyone's competing.. in SSP, well, its more laid back.. it was harder for me when it comes to sports in PFS.. come to think of it, i only took part in one sports day and i didnt even have any events.. all i did was march and went on duty for scouts.. now i regret not attending more sports days.. i never knew what it was like to participate in an event in PFS.. i never got the chance to fill in my role as one of the vice-captains.. i never got my rightful place as squash captain for Pinhorn house.. now i will never get that opportunity again..

time flies sometimes and when you finally realise what you've missed, its too late.. i made up for my mistakes by attending the SSP sports carnival this year.. my first and last in SSP.. i enjoyed it.. but its only a fraction of what i would have experienced in PFS.. suddenly, i feel stupid for complaining about PFS.. i mean its not like i dont like SSP.. i do.. but the times i had at PFS seems so short.. four years passed by and i never got to know half the people there.. i was always the withdrawn tye.. i can now only imagine what it would have been if i stayed on in PFS.. time to make my way in SSP.. next target : SSP CROSS COUNTRY 2008..

i did something very stupid just now.. its not something rare.. i had done it many times before but this time, i decided to take pictures to show you guys.. i wore a head-band and pulled it back so much..

HAHAHA..!! i bet you guys are laughing your asses off now arent you??

edited for fun.. my eyes looks scary.. *shivers*

i guess that's all for now.. if i say anymore from here i'm sure you guys wont even be reading it anymore.. you guys would be laughing non-stop i presume.. so till next time..

2008-04-10T14:34:00.002+08:00

STUCK AT HOME..

well, even though i'm on a 2 week holiday there is nothing to do.. i mean yeah i have my moral folio and my undang-undang to study but that's just about it..

i cant go out with my friends because those studying in government schools are not having their term break and those from SSP are preparing for the gathering which i most likely wont make it because i gotta work..

so basically, this is like house arrest.. i will be having a small BBQ this sunday though but i'm not sure if some of the people i invited will make it..

i planned to take my computer undang-undang exam tomorrow but seeing as i didnt study and i slept a bit when the guy was explaining, i'll have to postpone it and maybe take it next week.. tuesday possibly.. i dont think even if i can remember all of it tonight i can take it tomorrow.. i mean, its not like i can just walk in and tae the exam without prior notice..

oh and Manchester United beat AS Roma 1-0 at Old Trafford.. Carlos Tevez scoring the only goal with a perfect diving header from Owen Hargreaves' precise cross.. United excluded Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney from the start and still proved to be too good for Roma.. United will face Barcelona next in the semi-finals..

i wont talk about football anymore.. its funny how its been only 2 hours since i woke up.. i got up at 1pm, and its only like 3pm now.. time sure has a weird sense to it.. might be playing football later but only maybe.. i guess that's it..

ivan..

2008-04-10T02:19:00.002+08:00

went for training just now as usual.. and i found out that i have been left out of the SUKMA trials.. i mean, WTF?? i've been told to train an extra day every week since i dunno when and NOTHING pays off.. there are 4 places to fight for in the SUKMA squad.. ok make it 3 because there is no way Elvinn Keo wont qualify.. 3 places up for grabs and only 4 people fighting for it.. CUT ME SOME SLACK PEOPLE!!

i've been training so hard to prepare for this and one word just destroyed my hopes.. i have just about enough with all this crap.. i mean, if i play the trials, and if i fail, then i will know for sure i am not good enough.. but i'm not even getting a chance to show how much i have improved..

its virtually my last year training as a junior and i'm quite sure i wont be going pro (like that will happen).. i wanted this very badly and now i will never know what its like to participate in such a big event.. i was so full of hope at the begining of the year.. i was certain that if i train hard enough, i can at least get a chance to fight for the place.. but now i see that nothing matters.. i always had the feeling i was never liked by the coaches.. Max would know how i feel (dont you Max?).. both of us are treated like outcasts.. but for Max's case, he at least got into the trials..

now i'm only left with the SAP League next week which wont be participated by the SUKMA trial players.. i guess i'll be seeded quite high.. if i'm not, then fuck squash.. and instead of thinking of SUKMA, now i will have to focus on the Penang Junior International Open.. if everything i heard is correct, i will be the sole representative for Penang in the boys u-19 event (excluding Dennis that is)..

training just now was quite different.. Andria and Debbie joined Dennis and myself and the monkey trained solo with Peter.. i dunno but Peter seemed to have treated me quite coldly today.. oh well, i'm a nobody in squash so who gives a damn??

i'll stop boring you guys with my nonsense..

2008-04-09T13:27:00.006+08:00

started watching a new series called
Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles

and instantly, i got hooked to it.. so i looked it up on YouTube and found this user posting every episode up till episode 6 or 7 i think.. i watched till episode 4 last night and decided to ontinue now but guess what? all of TruCove's video posts were removed by YouTube stating that TruCove has violated Warner Brothers' copyright.. dammit!

anyway, i'll try to get my cousin to download it for me.. i need to watch as many episodes as possible.. i'm hooked!

Sarah Connor : the mother of John Connor, the saviour of the human race..

Cameron : the cyborg sent by the future John Connor to protect his younger self..

damn she's HOT! hahaha..

2008-04-09T00:41:00.003+08:00

went for training on monday.. trained with Ryosei and Jonathan.. nothing much only did drills.. Ryosei tried to cut every shot he hit.. it turned out pretty well.. stupid japanese.. XD

anyway, went for the undang-undang thing this morning.. DAMN its BORING!! my advice to those who havent taken it : GET COMPANY!! i fell asleep like so many times in class.. couldnt stand it.. even my mentos didnt work!!

anyway, i think i'll have to study the book a little and then most probably will take the computer exam on friday.. i cant wait to get my ass behind the wheel.. then i dont have to trouble my parents to fetch me here and there anymore..

having training again tomorrow.. usual stuff.. oh i forgot.. i bought a new book last weekend.. The Chronicles of Narnia.. its a big book and it contains all SEVEN novels in one.. the whole Chronicle..

oh look! Prince Caspian is the book cover..

damn if only i had his looks.. LOL

i'm currently reading The Golden Compass.. hopefully i can finish it fast and then i can finally watch the movie.. and then i will start reading Narnia.. so i guess that's it for now..

yeah yeah, whoa oh

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

to me..

this post came a little too late.. anyway it WAS my bday.. Dexter and Kee Tat wished me half an hour earlier.. and at 12am on the dot, Ms Yan-Y did this :

i'm NOT old Yan!!

anyway, after she wished me, i recieved quite a number of sms wishes.. thanks to all of you again..

in the morning, went to school as usual.. Nicholas was the first in school to wish me.. although i did get a whack in the stomach.. later on, my classmates wished me.. recieved sms from the squash girls in Kuantan during school.. good luck to you all btw..

did stupid things during chemistry again.. we also discovered or recently noticed the burst mode in our phone cameras so we decided to give it a try..

Chris and Mabel were the subject..

and there were also normal pictures..

Nic and Wooi Nian..

i'm still trying to figure out wtf they were going..

Melvin and Ms Chang.. Usually Mel would be doing crazy stuff or sleeping..

Johnny, Nic, and I..

Nic warned me that i will get messy today so i was prepared but in the end nothing happened.. scouts was tiring.. but at 3.30pm, our term break began.. i reached home in the evening..

went out with my family for dinner at Mizi Bistro.. had the usual stuff.. before the waitress took out the cake,

Me : mum, you all dont have to sing for me anymore.. i'm kinda old for this..

the restaurant was full mind you..

Mum : ok ok..

*waitress brings out cake with candles lit*

Waitress : happy birthday to you~~

=.=

*everyone in restaurant sings along*

WTF?!?!?!

*song ends, everyone claps*

and i was stunned..

anyway, nothing much to say.. tomorrow have to go cheng beng.. and might or might not make it for training.. will be coaching though.. i guess that's it.. the pictures from dinner are still in mum's iPhone so i'll post it later on..

wednesday was Sri Pinang & Tenby's annual Sports Carnival.. this was my first year participating in any sports day for any of the 4 schools i've been to since standard 1..

so in the morning, we all headed for the junior school.. after taking attendance bla bla bla, the opening ceremony began.. after Mabel baca ikrar, all students went to their respective house tents and watched the events.. i wasnt involved in any of the earlier events.. i pulled out of the 100m event and long jump..

so during the break time, i geared up for the football final.. wore my boots and warmed up.. i wanted captaincy for this match but the oh-so-"great" captain, Wesley didnt wanna let me have it.. anyway, i was very tired throughout the match.. i ran up and down the pitch and covered pretty much every position.. the match ended 2-2.. our two korean boys scored the goals.. it went to penalty shootout.. i switched to GK.. i didnt save any but i managed to intimidate the taker enough for him to miss the shot.. i scored the winning penalty..

after that, we had to get ready and report for the 4x100 relay.. my leg already cramped before the shootout so i was having doubts.. anyway, we claimed 2nd place.. after having SOME rest, we gathered in front of the "podium" and began the tug of war.. all our team members were worn out by the earlier events while the opposition had mostly fresh legs in the team.. so we lost.. but we did get silver.. by the end of the day, Green claimed overall, Blue and Yellow were tied, and RED WERE LAST despite all our efforts.. oh well..

football gold medal.. BOOYAH!

house captain Tan Thien Hua

relay silver medal..

silver for tug-of-war..

this feller here is Chris.. he pulled out of the tug-of-war team just before it started but still got the gold medal.. =.=

Chou Yong and his usual madness.. sorry for the non-rotated picture.. i rotated it in my phone and now i dunno what to do..

my medals.. the other gold is 800m.. no one was there to take my picture so..

today was real boring.. but after school we had scouts meeting and everyone sat on the floor.. this form 1 boy sat beside me and was pissing me off.. he keeps leaning on me or he will put his hand on my leg.. everytime i move away, he does it again.. annoying brat..

ARGH!!!

i guess that's all.. tomorrow is the last day of the term and we will have 2 weeks holiday.. hell yeah! that's all for now.. ciao!

nothing much again today.. just another normal day..

went to school like any other day, do school stuff like any other day.. i guess school days are just boring because of the upcoming Sports Carnival this wednesday.. i'm quite nervous.. i have football finals, tug-of-war finals, 400m, and 4 x 100m events.. i sure hope i get gold in all my events.. and besides, my house needs me.. wow, no pressure.. i really wanna do good this time.. i have never participated in any events for sports day ever since standard 1 and this is my last year schooling so i do not want to waste it.. i want to know what its like to win sports day..

went to training just now.. it was BORING.. i had to train with Yoko.. and trust me, he aint the most fun person to train with.. anyway, after training Yassin started taking pictures of some of us with his camera.. and no Max, Yassin's camera is not fake.. anyway, besides that, nothing else happened.. if i told you more, it would be too personal.. i guess that's all there is to say.. till next time... hobey-ho!

100th POST!!!!

went for training as usual today.. instead of the usual runs at Bukit Dumbar, we had to do suicide on court.. suicide is, well, suicide.. its like sprints but we have to go front back front back.. one set only takes about 14 seconds but we had to do 20 sets.. i didnt feel the effects of the suicide until now.. MY ASS HURTS!!

immediately after suicide, we stretched and warmed down and i went to assist Chiew Ping with her class.. after that, the gang all sat together and chatted and shooting each other until training started.. training was ok..

had my lunch and then had to coach again.. 4 straight hours.. so by the end of the day i had another 5 hours under my belt and one more hour to go till i pass my coaching course.. THANK GOD!!

sports day will be on wednesday and i really hope i can claim gold in all my events.. yeah, no pressure.. red house is actually counting on me to deliver gold in my events and football to boost our chances to claim overall champion.. let me state that before i cam, red house sucked..

anyway, the week after next will be the begining of our 2 week holiday and i'm so hoping to get to go out with my friends from PFS..

watching Manchester Unied vs Aston Villa now and will go to bed as soon as it ends.. i might just post the score after that.. till then..

this morning we had our Sports Carnival rehearsal.. only the relay runners, flag bearers and a few others have to go to the junior school.. the rest stayed back and had sports practise.. those at the junior school just wasted time.. stood under the sun and bla bla and we didnt even get to run!

as expected, our oh-so-great physics teacher, Mr Heah, didnt come to class during his lesson.. we're still in chapter 5 form 4 thank you very much!! luckily i go for tuition or else i can kiss my SPM goodbye.. he really gotta wake up.. he blames us for nt starting form 5 yet.. HELLO~~?!?! you teach like a half-dead goat!! sheesh..

anyway, after school i went to get my sim card.. went to mum's office for awhile and then went to the squash court to do solo..

went home after that, had dinner, bathed, and now i'm here.. i'll just end it here.. my eyes are barely open..

this is my new Sony Ericsson K530i..

just bought it just now after school.. had to pay myself.. but at least there will be no more frustration using the old phones..

nothing much happened in school today.. tomorrow the girls have netball semi-finals.. and i'm back in training tomorrow for the fisrt time since i lost to Fakrul..

another day, another post..

went to school as usual (duh!).. followed Ms Chang again.. the only thing different today is that there was no assembly..

at 2pm, all Sri Pinang and Tenby students gathered at the "netball court" to witness an event full of sweat and bulging veins.. Tug-of-War.. =.= Red had to face Green and Yellow go head to head against Blue.. the girls were first.. Red beat Green 2-0.. go girls!! and later Yellow beat Blue 2-1...... i think.. oh well.. next were the guys.. us Reds look pretty strong with Cho Chia, Yee Yean, Dylan, some Tenby guy, me, Aaron Chua, Wesley and our muscle...... Wazien.. Green looked to be doomed but the late participation of Michael made us work for it.. we won 2-0 but it was a tough fight.. and later Blue beat Yellow 2-0..

reached home and i was sooooo exhausted.. took an ice cold shower and went on to do some stuff.. watched two episodes of Hannah Montana (yes, you saw correctly).. mum and dad came back from China in the evening.. i got new track suit, a Beijing Olympics keychain, a watch, and bigger versions of all 5 Beijing Olympics mascots..

showed my dad my report slip that clearly shows i got FIRST place in class.. its not much but i'm happy with my results.. my dad didnt even congratulate me.. all he said was "i'm not gonna say anything".. before that he almost said "yeah, 1st place in THAT school".. GIMME A BREAK DAMMIT!!

i have nothing else.. i will start my moral folio now.. i hope..

ok the match is over..

Manchester United beat Liverfool.. uh.. i meant Liverpool.. 3-0.. goals from Wes Brown (only his 3rd goal in 8 years with United), Ronaldo and Nani sealed an easy win for the Devils after Mascherano got sent off for disagreeing with the referee.. i feel bad for him.. but he did walk all the way across the field just to give the ref a piece of his mind..

oh and this is to Shebby Singh.. YOU SUCK! seriously.. you really think you know alot about football? please.. you are as lame as your MyTeam.. and you being a pundit for ESPN and STAR Sports is just sad.. you blame Sir Alex for blasting the refs after United crashed out of the FA Cup and therefore causing the refs to be more bias and red carded Mascherano.. please save your so-called reputation and keep quiet.. let the real pundits do the talking.. you just talk too much..

i'm going off to bed now with United leading the EPL by 6 points.. Arsenal are playing Chelsea now and Chelsea can do United a big favour by beating the Gunners.. anyway, my parents are coming back from China late tomorrow night.. cant wait to see what they have got for me.. haha..

10 more days to something... OMG!!!

sunday morning rain is falling~~

well, not exactly.. woke up late in the morning today.. went down to have light breakfast.. watched some tv and already lunch.. so after lunch i took a bath.. went downstairs and watched tv while doing add-maths..

went to football just now.. didnt play so well just now.. not really in a mood these days.. will try to improve and get fit for next week's sports day final.. after taking a shower, had my dinner and watched tv again..

now watching Manchester United vs Liverpool.. G O D E V I L S ! !

didnt go for runs today.. wow, what a change to my post! usually i start with "so we had runs this morning as usual and i had to do 8 laps......." whatever.. it doesnt matter..

i did go to training (oh yeah, that's a shocker!).. went around 9am.. sat down and talked to Nic.. we were later joined by Ryosei, Wee Nee, Jee Nee.. and a little later Allan and Kesh.. Allan goes "i will follow you~~" =.=

booked court and played with Ryosei, Nic, and Ryan.. my god-damn-F***IN racket string snapped.. AGAIN!! so i used Ryan's spare and i hit alot of nick shots.. WTF? after we finished, Nic went to string my racket and i used Ryan's racket for awhile for training.. training kinda sucked.. i got back my drop shots.. but my backhand volley suddenly like ran away.. training was tiring..

took a quick shower and had my lunch before starting 4 continuous hours of coaching.. when the day is done, i had another 4 hours under my belt and only 6 to go.. HEEEELLO~~ coaching license.. took a real shower this time, and while waiting for my aunt to fetch me, Allan, Kesh, and Teng Hin all gang up and shoot me nicely.. greeeaaat... like i wasnt miserable enough.. "big sister dont want go for the small sister la".. SoooOOOOoo FUNNY Allan.. thanks! =.=

at home, had sandwiches for dinner.. watched Cheaper By The Dozen 2.. opened my add-maths homework, *stares at the book*, closes it, and now i'm blogging.. of course i had my dear "daughter" Andria to accompany me.. chat for awhile and now she's offline.. i guess i'll stop here.. will go down later to watch stupid men hurt themselves a.k.a WRESTLING..

i lost to Fakrul.. its the first time i have lost to him and it was so frustrating and disappointing for me.. i tried and tried but i just couldnt beat him.. he was just too good for me.. i struggled the entire match and let him control..

after that i went to my aunt's for dinner and came back home after dinner.. going for training as usual.. nothing interesting about my life..

when i came home, went online and chatted with Andria.. she told me some bad news and yeah, it hurt.. i cant say i didnt expect it.. i saw it coming.. i was just too stubborn to face the fact.. i guess that makes me kinda mad at myself for allowing it to go so deep.. life's lessons are harsh.. and to all you people who have someone to be with, someone who cares for you and someone who is always there for you, hear me out.. be thankful for having the one you love love you back.. (i know you heard this already Andria) dont take for granted of those who love you and those who care about you because you will never know when you will just lose it all.. appreciate the thing that is love because not everyone has the luxury of experiencing it.. sometimes you may feel that you have felt love but think again, look back, rewind and replay, its all a lie.. i feel love is over rated.. whatever right?

i'm gonna stop making myself feel worse now.. no point in doing that anyway.. i've already sunk to the lowest the deepest the darkest i could go.. oh well, its not any different after all this setback.. life has never been kind, lay back and you will fall behind.. you still have your family to catch you when you fall.. remember your family.. because no matter what, they mean more than anything else you can think of..

today we had to play 2 rounds..

my first match of the day was against Natasha.. i struggled throughout the match but eventually won the match 3-2.. i think it might be caused by my late late LATE sleep..

while everyone was waiting for their second matches, Max's phone got confiscated by *****.. we all had our matches that time and Jee Nee was the only person not playing so i passed to her Max's phone after Wee Nee passed it to me and before that Max to Wee Nee.. the whole situation was unnecessary and troublesome..

our second matches started late in the evening.. i played against Jonathan Chew.. i dominated the first two sets but in the third, i have to admit i was getting a wee bit too cocky.. i lost the 3rd set.. i eventually won the match 3-1 with a nick shot at match point.. i was quite happy with my performance mainly because i didnt lose my temper.. i stayed cool throughout the match and it paid off.. i played pretty well also..

my match ended at 9.30pm and after that i took a shower and went home.. had dinner at 10.15pm.. after a long long bath, here i am.. i'm feeling very tired but i still have my add-maths assignment and moral folio.. maybe i'll leave the add-maths for the weekend and folio for the upcoming holidays..

oh.. Manchester United beat Bolton 2-0 with both goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.. next match will be against Liverfool.. i mean, Liverpool.. XD i guess that's it..

ivan

2008-03-20T00:39:00.002+08:00

i lost to Wee Nee.. i took the first set 9-3 and lost the second 8-10.. after that, it was all downhill.. i struggled and lost the match 1-3..

i kena tembak the whole day and i gotta say, i'm getting used to it.. not that i like it.. anyway, went to tuition after that with Mabel and Chris..

i'm playing against Natasha tomorrow and i'm still awake at this hour.. i wanna watch Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers..

2008-03-18T21:53:00.002+08:00

so i went to play football again just now.. scored a goal.. again..

i found out that i'm playing against Wee Nee in the SAP League tomorrow.. i really hate the system.. the seedings are outrageous..

1. Blackie

2. Yassin

3. Hayate

4. Nicholas

5. Jonathan

6. Max

7. Ryosei

8. Wee Nee

9. Me

the ones in red are those i fell got un-reasonably high seedings.. those in yellow are the ones that should get higher..

Dennis is in Division two and i think so is Raaman.. GOOD LUCK BOON!! haha..

i guess that's all.. it's gonna be hard tomorrow.. i really wanna win tomorrow but i have never beaten Wee Nee in both our previous meetings..

2008-03-18T09:24:00.004+08:00

i know i know.. you guys would probably be wondering..

"why is he updating during school hours?"

well, i'm not gonna lie to ya'll.. my parents left for Beijing on a one week vacation and the only way i can go to school is by following my chemistry teacher to school.. it all worked out fine yesterday.. i even followed her back.. but lets not elaborate on unnecessary things..

this morning, it rained.. and i mean RAINED.. so i couldn't walk down to the car workshop where she picks me up.. i decided to wait at home and hope that she comes up to fetch me.. too much to ask, i know.. when it finally got into my senses that she wasn't coming up i decided to walk to the workshop anyway.. with an umbrella~ella~ella of course.. the walk there was terrible.. my shoes were soaked and my pants were wet from the bottom until my knee.. when i reached the place, i waited for awhile.. i finally accepted the fact that she left without me.. can't blame her, i told her i'd walk down everyday..

so now i'm at home and hoping that i can go back to sleep..

anyway, i played football yesterday with Elu.. i tried on my new boots obviously.. and i also bought a new football after school.. i'll post pictures when i get my hands on them.. my right foot took a pretty bad beating yesterday after two challenges from the opposition.. its still sore now but i'm sure it'll be fine.. i scored a goal. wait, let me rephrase that. i scored an AMAZING goal.. haha.. i took a shot from inside the box and it was blocked.. now with my back towards the goal, i tapped the ball twice to get the ball at a nice height.. i turned and volleyed the ball with my left foot and the ball went into the top corner.. i played most of the game as a centre back..

tomorrow will be the first round of SAP League 1st leg.. i hope i will do well this time.. i guess that's all i wanna say for now.. i wanna go catch up on some lost sleeping time now..

woke up at around lunch time today.. had my "breakfast" and took a shower.. watched the start of the Australian F1 Grand Prix and headed to Sunshine for lunch at McD..

after lunch we went home and managed to watch the last 5 laps of the race.. both Scuderia Ferrari cars gave way to the weather and did not finish.. which means the defending champion, my favourite driver, Kimi Raikkonen did not have any points.. Lewis Hamilton won the race.. DAMMIT!!

the fallen champ.. *screams in agony*

went to Queens for awhile to buy NEW FOOTBALL BOOTS.. bought NIKE totalninety shoot.. i would include a picture if my dad hadn't taken my camera to Beijing with him.. so i'll upload when i can.. that's all..

on thursday we had our 6-a-side football for sports day.. it was RED vs YELLOW and BLUE vs GREEN.. i played full back most of the game and set up all 4 goals.. my RED team won 4-0.. and BLUE beat GREEN 4- as well so the final will be RED vs BLUE on sports day..

and on friday it was our 800m event.. we had to go to Westland school for the run.. i took 1st place and delivered the first gold medal for RED.. i left school early.. i was too tired to continue lessons and i didnt wanna go for scouts later.. reached home and my sister had her bday party.. wasnt really involved in the thing except for being water-ed by almost everyone (like i wasnt tired enough)..

so this morning, morning runs as usual.. 8 laps.. i ran pretty slow today.. i was feeling really worn out after football and 800m.. so after runs we had exercise.. played doubles with Max, Ryan and Ryosei after a short break.. i stopped for awhile and then had to go training.. after training, i went to check my phone for sms and guess what? ITS GONE!! yes people, ITS G-O-N-E!! whoever that ccb @&^$@*&!% is, you better not let me find you.. so regardless of my lost phone, i had to work.. so i coached for 4hrs and now i have 10 hrs remaining.. came back and went to Queens to have dinner at Sakae Sushi for my sister's bday..

i guess that's all..

I NEED FOOTBALL BOOTS AND A NEW HANDPHONE!!

anyone wanna sponsor? XP
