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..
