The little boy in the next few pictures is the pastor's son, Cameron. Very cute.

But Sam honestly.. he doesn't really like me see all no smile one!

I cant draw, soo i'm trying to learn how to get the cartoon effect in photoshop, but so far still pretty crappy. I tried Jon's advice and typed 'neh, baz cartoon effect' in photoshop but yeah obviously, didn't work. Someone, help! Link, video, anything eh.

time spent with you

2009-09-01T18:24:00.002+08:00

This is what i think of the time spent with you. This was also the song that was playing when i first saw you.

Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound
I know they're watching, they're watching
All the commotion, the kiddie like play
Has people talking, talking

You, your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley, the breaking of day
The head while I'm driving, I'm driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying, you're dying

You, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest
You, your sex is on fire

And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

You truly are something..
stins.

Evolution?

hey guys, im not sure if this blog is the only one that doesnt get read very often, but i guess its just another method of me getting to vent to the outside world. right then, onto the task at hand, MUSIC.

as a kid, i grew up to britney spears, n-sync, backstreet boys and s club 7. so u can imagine, the music i grew up with was pretty much all pop. i didnt really mingle with rock, or punk, let alone rap. as i entered my teens, i found punk. avril lavigne, good charlotte and simple plan were the well that i drank and filled my thirst from. (yes, guys, i liked avril, in fact, i was convinced that she was the ONE...hahaha>) so first analysis is that my music is very pop-punk oriented. quite unfortunately.

but once i moved, my ears discovered alternative. never really knew what that meant, but bands like paramore, dashboard confessional, coldplay. their music was a mix, their lyrics made sense and it belonged somehow. granted, their music was light, with an upbeat sound, esp with dashboard and paramore. coldplay was just odd but hautingly nice. and sean, you maybe laughing at me cuz of paramore, but i like them. in fact, i can proudly say that i like their williams more than the other williams i know off...(sorry beff)..hahaha.

quite a few months back, i began listening to new bands, music that was not so much mainstream, music that wasnt being well knowned. and somehow their music, while not being popular, was well liked by some that had seen them live, or heard of them thru youtube (damn, i love youtube..). and i can clearly say that of the bands that have got a great sound to them, flyleaf tops the list.

flyleaf are an alternative rock band, and their music is very heavy. (i have warned you). their lead singer, lacey mosley, can sing, play the guitar, headbang, and even scream. their lyrics often talk abt those that have been left out, forgotten, and misled. mosley was a drug addict at the age of 10, she almost committed suicide, but she found god. long story short, she is a born again christian who writes abt being saved thru her oft misunderstood music.

my conclusion is this. i went from school-girl uni clad britney, to sk8er boi loving avril, to chris martin of coldplay. what maybe this very young journey of music has thought me is that, its ever changing, always evolving.

2 years..

2009-07-25T22:29:00.002+08:00

hey guys, i was sitting there by the table the other day, when it occured to me that id been here for 2 years now. but it honestly feels as tho it were yesterday that i just arrived from kuching, starry-eyed and lost. how the cold air around me gripped my breath, suffocating me. but the odd thing is that, i find my memories confused, many a time, i wonder when it was a certain event happened, whether it happened here or in kuching. so what does this say? am i forgetting abt my past, where i came from? maybe, maybe not.

im left contemplating how things have changed in the 2 years. how in the blink of an eye, ive gone from the crazy, immature kid from kuching, to the slightly sensible, more matured teen in perth. in a months time, ill be submitting a form, which will dictate the next 4 years of my life. im entering uni next year, and i cant believe it. but ive grown in the 2 years, an unbelieavable change has occured. ive got a job, im looking for a car, ive got a licence, and the other day whilst out with my brothers mate, something odd happened. he started pestering me to buy him a toy, and memories came fleeting to me, this was the exact thing that i did to anyone that had the capacity to buy me toys when i was a kid. so does this make me an oldie?

my career doesnt start till after my uni, but i like to think that its starting when i fill in that form. and in the blink of an eye, my future will flash before me. from living with my parents, to going to uni a couple times a week, to finishing my course, to graduating, to working in a proper law firm, to moving out, to finding the 'one', to getting married, to getting that massive payrise, to getting kids, to growing old. now im not sure abt u lot, but that scares me. sometimes i wish as though i have my future laid out for me, that i need not make a single choice. but i guess its the choices that make us who we are.

i watch a lot of 'how i met your mother' and its a tv show abt a father telling his kids abt how he met their mother, ie his wife. the story takes several turns, some involving him gettin fired, breaking up from relationships that clearly seemed to last, and how the search for her was a massive pain to him. many a time i wonder if this is how my future will be. how i have everything planned out, only for it to have it blow up in my face. how ill end up being sad, alone dishelleved, lying in the fetal position crying on the floor. i guess it scares me. like how it scared ted. and i dont like showing how im scared.

but in the final episode of season 4, marshall, one of teds best friends, talks abt this jump from their apartment to the other one across the small road. its not a big leap, but its dangerous. hes tried to jump it but of course he doesnt. but marshalls wife talks abt ted taking a leap, and just making a big decision. i guess i just have to take that leap, i just have to jump, and hope i land in that safe hot tub across the road. watch it, its great.

anyway, i hope this has had some effect on you. because writting it has. thanks.

blood. sweat. tears

2009-07-04T22:13:00.002+08:00

i had an indoor football tournament this morning and i was asked to join because my old coach was putting together three teams for the tourney. his idea behind it was to get some footage of the two players who are going to the US for college football. i was asked to go mind you, but having parents who are pretty serious abt studying and less about football, so i had to turn down the offer.

but.. back to the tourney.. its a round-robin format. with the winners being the one with most points. if two teams end up with same amount of points and goals scored, final playoff is played. the teams that the coach picked, he tried to be fair with the amount of players he had. so he 'evenly' spread the teams. i was stuck with one decent player, my bro and two of his mates. sufficient to say that i didnt think much of the team.

first game: vs blue team
the blue team had one of the coaches star players. this was the guy that was going to the US. i set out in this match to prove something to him and myself. it was a hard match, i was playing the only middy, running up and down, breaking up play and linking the defense and our striker. the goal i scored was a tad luck. i chipped the ball into the D, looking for my striker and the keeper misjudged it and let it in. it was pretty awesome..hahahaha.. final score, 1-0 to us.

second game:vs white team
the white team seemed pretty good, but their defense had some problems i know. we started and i had some early chances, esp since they werent closing down proper. we passed it around well, and i got my hattrick early in the game. i set up another for the striker, and i hung back. to protect our lead.easy game, gloated abit. final score 4-0 to us

third game: vs yellow team
before the game started, my teammate asked me if we could afford to lose this game. i told him straight up. NO. hahaha. and guess what. we lost. WTF man. i missed the game cuz my own guy tripped me up while i was sprinting. and i flew a whole meter. i fckd my elbow up and was told to not play by the ref and my coach. apparently i might break the fckin thing. as a result we played with 4 men, and lost, 2-0.

fourth game: vs green team.
last game of the round robin, we needed to win this to actually stand a chance of winning anything.very hard game, couldnt really get into it for some odd reason, my elbow still hurt. but i managed to hit the post, and played defense most of the time. we won 1-0.

final: vs white team
the finals were here, i had dragged my team here, and i wanted to win so bad. i wanted to prove a point, to show that a player who hasnt played or traind regularly could still outplay a bunch of fit football players. we started strongly, a few shots here and there, but not really troubling much. then, it happend, the other team had the keeper sent off for swearing at the ref, great change for us. we pushed on , and had shot after shot. but the change-in goalie was a rock. a clearance, controlled by our defender, managed to slip away from him and into the path of a striker. i saw it unfold in my head, the striker ran, and shot. a weak shot, but just enough on it. they scored.

my hand was bleeding, id been fouled so much that my hand was badly cut from the falls. the sweat was in my eyes, dripping down my face. along with my tears. id been so close, yet so far. i couldnt believe it. it hurt so much. i sat there, angry, sad and dissapointed. i didnt do enough. not well enough.

Sport Time...

2009-06-05T22:02:00.002+08:00

sup guys, my fingers are starting to ache now, but i feel as though i need to power thru the pain..and share my experiences with you lot..so here goes..bt-dub, girls who are bored by this rant, can just about skip this and read the post from before..this is maybe more guys-oriented?

anyways..a great multi-cultural country like aussie land has its upsides, one of which is that we get just about the most amount of sports played..like honestly, i can just about name you the sports I have played over the past 4 months..

football (thats easy)
cricket (thats also pretty easy)
aussie rules..(really rough but a whole buncho fun)
handball
netball
gaelic football
speedball (variation of gaelic footie)
rugby
badminton
squash( im horrible at this)
basketball
hockey

i think thats it..its been a fun 4 months, i mean sport has got to be the best thing invented (par with the telly)..haha..and ive learnt that they all have similarities..more on that later..but..just a mention to the teams ive played with last year..

canning football club (2008): thanks a lot guys for just abt the most exciting season last year..truly thanks simon for trusting in me when i went thru my rough patch
leeming shs (2008, 2009): broke the school record for football last year, being champs and all, it still feels like a dream...lets hope for the best this year as well..
valiants football (2008): awesome league, just another way to blow off steam..and thanks mr salihson for trusting in me with the center mid pos..never saw meself that way..
leeming shs (2009): thanks for the cricket exp ive been given..
perth glory fc academy (2008): thanks for the crazy time i had training wiht real life pros..cheers velaphi, ull the best just like petko...hahaha

and there are loads more, but most of them are casually, eg touch rugby and aussie rules..those are fun..ive discoverd that ive got a talent for 'riding', thats when u see the ball in the air and u jump ON someone, and grab the ball for urself..that feeling u get, its just awesome..hahaha..better than crack!!

right then..after being in so many sports, there have been a few things that ive picked up on..and ill share them with you..right after the break..hahaha.

never stop running. if u never give up, theres always that extra chance that you will chase the little bugger down who got away from you , or get that goal. thats one key element in every sport, be it football, afl, cricket, basketball, its vital that u never stop running.
always play thru the center. ppl that run thru the center always score, the best players and teams realise that and they exploit that. look at barca, sure they play down the wing as well, but they cut in later and let iniesta and xavi weave their magic. playin thru the center gives u more options
mind over matter. if u keep a cool head, youll perform better. key players have lost their cool in key moments, look at drogs, wazza (rooney), ronny, and the sucker of all time, JOEY BARTON. if u keep a cool head, and annoy the heck outta ur opponent, they will probably break more easily..i had this one guy turn around and king hit me after i teased him for the whole match, we got a pen and we won..so im not complaining...
even if ur not playing, doesnt mean ur not part of the team. great players are always whinging when they're on the bench, and i dont get that. ur still part of the team, encourage players, friends and annoy the heck outta ur enemies. they cant do jack shit abt it. so just cuz ur not in the team, playing, doesnt mean ur not part of the team..
the name on the front of ur shirt, is more important than the one on the back. ie, team before personal glory..exhibit A, ronaldo in the uefa final, he was so hell bent on beating messi that he showboated and tried too hard. he wanted to score so badly, that he went on shooting from distance, granted he can do it, but still..cmon..u have 10 other ppl on the pitch..listen..

alrighty, i think thats it..but i really should comment on the curent football world..

i hate man city. they deserve to die for what they are doing to the football world, money is being thrown around, and all for their 'dream team', well, dream teams dont work cuz they rely on personal brilliance, not team brilliance..so go ahead and buy ur players, u wont achieve what others have on a mediocre budget, look at everton and aston villa..do us a favour man city, and keep the blood money to urself.

newcastle deserved to go down. it hurts me saying this, but they did. ashley has no choice but to sell the club, and shearer to guide it. at least we can rebuild our team, and start from scratch. we had no identity before (keegan, allardyce, roeder and kinnear)...start again, and start afresh..and at least we will win smth next year?ahhaa

the better team won in rome. i wanted man utd to win, to prove a point, but barca has played the role of the shining light, play good football and you will win. football won that night, and while i didnt stick around for the celebrations, it mustve been awesome..

i salute you david moyes. u know what this guy did, he shook hands with the chelsea players after he lost in the final of the cup, i can never bring myself to say good game to the other players after a game, esp if we lost, but this guy had balls, and so goodday i say to you kind sir.

football is awesome..thats why its the world game, and it hurts me that im only playing a cameo this year (15 apperances max, and thats if we make it to the finals..)..but im loving every crowd cheering chance i get..

chinny out

The Re-return...

2009-06-05T21:39:00.002+08:00

whats up guys? thats right, your favourite malaysian turned aussie is back..ive re-returned from my hiatus from the internet blogging business..and this time ive come up with a whole list of excuses..just take your pick:

1. internet was broken (thats right, for 3 months in a row..hahaha)
2. i forgot my password? ( worked last time.)
3. been reallllllllly busy ( actually part true, exams, school and sport)
4. just cbf'd (also part true..haha)
5. dog ate my computer? (im sorry..that was just downright horrible)

anyways..i feel obliged to my legion of fans (im counting 4 so far...) to actually explain what ive been up to the past quarter of a year..so here goes..

i had my school ball, it was awesommmme....everyone dressed up in gowns and tuxes..loads of pics were taken, and overall an unforgettable experience..( everyone should just forget abt the whole prom thing, you know, in kids' shows where they potray the prom as a massive ball where ppl dance in slow music..totally the oppo here..we had disco-esque music with flashing lights..not even one slow dance..how bout that..maybe hsm doesnt really show the real high school life...OMG!!hahaha)
made my school cricket team..thts right, ive become a cricket...haha..and a pretty decent one as well..i mean considering the fact that i havent played cricket in my entire life before..i think i did ok..and also the fact taht we won the interschool tourney for the first time in our schools history..( dont worry, i played a minor role..)..our team was packd with champs, this one guy actually got a hattrick( where u dismiss 3 guys in a row..same over)..and now ppl will look at me with blank looks..dont worry..felt the same way when i first came...
i got my IPHONE..haha..i feel as though ive stepped up in the world..hahaha..im paying heaps for it..but its worth it..defo a convo starter when with girls..hahaha..*takes out iphone.."omg you have an iphone??"..and theres ur first date.heh.
ive made life defining decisions...

decided tht im going to quit my job and get a new one after the TEE, lets just face it, serving fast food aint going to get you around..
that even though im not playing footballl, other sports are as fun, and that i make a decent coach..
ok maybe not that life affirming..but i still think its pretty big for a 16 year old..

ive found out that if u live life for the moment, things usually fall into place..and that just because ur smart, doesnt mean that u can slack off ur work, (my chem tutor will tell me taht, i just about failed last year, and im looking at an A after working with him..cheers buddy..)
ive also found out that a high five is pretty damn awesome..

(greg walks into tutor group for chem)

Teacher: so what did u get for ur chem?

Greg: oh i got 90 percent..

T: great work!! (holds out hand for high five...)

btw, this is an ex-engineer from singapore that is close to 50 maybe?..i so did not expect that from him..hahaha.

life has been good to me..theres been the ups and downs, and i purposely didnt add any sports stuff here, cuz it needs another post..hahaha..so this is maybe more ladies oriented?(if theres any reading...)but the hardest thing has probably been missing the ppl back home..and its always in my mind..but thats tmls problem innit?hahaha..

oh yea, i love being an AUSSIE..thats right, i said it..i count myslef an australian..and i love it..for those that dont like aussies, you can....SUCK, wait for it....IT!!thats right, SUCK IT!..hahaha..have fun guys, and take care..

chinny out.

Of IIUM n Owlets

2009-04-30T23:32:00.011+08:00

Everyone has posted uber long posts on debate. But my lousy guy brain can't remember all the stuff that has happened and and put them into words. (Really, I don't get how girls do that) So I'll just throw u some pics :)

Yea, more Pictures. Agaaiinnn lol.

I know this has nothing to do with the post but well...

Anywhoo, This is Moe.

He's an owlet :) If that's what baby owls are called.

He looks somewhat manly so i'll assume Moe's a he. We heard odd clicking sounds coming from behind the house one day and found him sitting on our fence. He told us he was missing his mother lol so we kept him. But after a few days of feeding him leftover rice he kinda disappeared from the box we put him in.

Well, either - 1) He finally found mom and they're a happy family again, 2) He grew feathers and flew away or 3) The evil stray cats ate him up and coughed him up in a hairball.
Really hope option 3 wasn't the outcome :S

Or maybe it was the neighbour's dog that got him.
Mm either ways I'll miss you Moe. Heh.

Happyappy debaters!

IIUM Flower Power

Grainy lowlight pictures taken during the night of the opening ceremony. Everyone was weary from many hours of traveling, and also the springrolls there. Or the lack of them. If you get what I mean.
So taking these photos provided much needed entertainment:)

The past three weeks has been an emotional rollercoaster.
From exasperation at St. Teresa to the heartbreak in Swinburne.
And ultimately pure delirium in IIUM.
It hurt really bad at times, and felt soo good during others.
But I wouldn't change a single thing that has happened for anything in the world :)

Thank you to Ju n Ida, for always being there to knock sense into me. To Png for being a super mom :) To FookAnn for just being a legend. Period. To Samuel for much needed male contact throughout. Mdm Ng for being the awesom-est teacher ever, to the Swinburne n IIUM debaters for much needed advice and uplifting, especially at times when we felt really poopy.
And Sam, for always being there :)

People Change..

2009-02-14T13:06:00.002+08:00

a year ago, when someone i loved told me i had changed, i couldnt believe her..here i was, all the way across some random ocean, and she was still back in kch..and she was already passing judgements..i got pretty upset, esp since she didnt quite know what was going on..a year later..i see now that she was right..people change..i havent realised that till not too long ago..when i saw finally the difference between perth-greg and kch-greg..its true ppl change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse..but true friends stick by one another, regardless of whether they have changed..and i have these friends..may i present:
Sean, Beth, Melody, Julie and Fishy(Pei yi)...thanks guys, its takes a real jackass to not see how much u guys have been there for me..thru the good and bad times..the fun and un-fun times..i really appreciate it..people change, but true friends dont.

What Then?

2009-02-14T12:59:00.002+08:00

If it hurts this much,
Then it must be love,
And it's a lottery,
I can't wait to draw your name.
Oh i'm trying to get to you,
But time isn't on my side.
If the truth's the worst I can do,
then I guess that I have lied
Keeping me awake,
It's been like this now for days.
My heart is out at sea,
My head all over the place.
I'm losing sense of time,
And everything tastes the same.
I'll be home in a day,
I fear thats a month too late.
That night I slept,
On your side of the bed so,
It was ready when you got home.
We're like noughts and crosses in that,
Opposites always attract.
You've taken me to the top,
And let me fall back south.
You've had me at the top of the pile,
And then had me kissing the ground.
We've heard and seen it all,
No one's talked us out.
The problems that have come,
Haven't yet torn us down.
Am i keeping you awake?
If i am then just say.
You can make your own decisions;
you can make your own mistakes.
I'll live and let die all the promises you made,
But if you lie another time,
it'll be a lie that's too late.
That night I slept,
On your side of the bed so,
It was ready when you got home.
We're like noughts and crosses in that,
Opposites always attract.
You always have your way,
For now it's too soon for you to say,
Will we be always, always?
You've had your way...

this is to you..you know who you are..this pretty much sums up everything im feeling now

2009-02-09T15:55:00.001+08:00

I haven't been updating in awhile, quite a long while actually. Even Greg's put a post up. Uhmazing.
Up to a point Ida even refused to acknowledge the existence of my blog. 'A void in the internet' as she might have put it. Well voila! the void has now been filled=D

I uploaded these pictures according to date taken but they turned out completely opposite (because well the 1st picture u upload ends up at the bottom of the pile, no?) Yeah I wasn't using me brain now was I?
Well here you go, an anti-chronological account of my holidays :)

Chinese New Year
This years celebration was relatively quiet. Literally i mean. The fireworks were a fraction of what I experience yearly in Sibu and by 10 past midnight, my neighbourhood was all but silent. I'm not sure if it's always this quiet in Kuching, or is it the economic recession thingy lol.

Spent most of the week visiting among friends

Grace and MaoHui

Moneyface-Grace.
(Btw she lost one of her front teeth this week, so when she says Sean it sounds more like thhhhean lol)

The solitary shot i managed to take

Santubong

Beautiful time spent with the most amazing people on earth.

Sibu Trip

The view from my grandmama's home

Our favourite way to pass the time in Sibu was prolly fruitpicking. We spent hours every day collecting coconuts and jambus from my grandparents roadside garden.

C-o-c-o-n-u-t!

Mum and KeeKee

Dad, being well... Dad-.-

We'd plucked at least 200 jambus, all from the same tree. Grace found this one with a cross shaped stem particularly interesting.

One of the places where I had the most fun at when I was a kid was Bukit Aup. Just a short drive out of town, we used to go there at least once every time we went home to Sibu to feed the fish and fight over the spiderweb playground :D

But there were no fish to feed this time.
[The water's sickly green colouration is due to an algal bloom that led to Eutrophication
(Eutrophication- The artificial nutrient enrichment of an aquatic system with organic/inorganic nutrients resulting in an excessive growth of plant life) Yea i copied that outta Bio textbook heh]

JAGA KEBERSIHAN TAMAN KAMI.

Dad's old home, now a Singer hardware store

The alley where he used to play marbles with the kids from the neighbourhood.

And lastly, something found in nowhere else but Sibu.

CHICKEN BOUQUETS!

Valentine's day is coming up soon and what better gift to give your other half than a bird wrapped in newspaper :) It's a bouquet, AND a pet, AND a meal all rolled into one!

Cheerios,

Cover Songs!

2008-07-22T16:56:00.002+08:00

Recently, i've been spending most of my time online on youtube watching cover songs. There are tons of amazing singers on the site that heve yet to be uncovered. IMO, some of the covers are better than the original. Here are some of the best (:

Alex Kaneko (and some white guy i dont know what his name is)

These two are hilarious, every one of their vid ends with them poking fun at HSM=D

The stuff they do/say in their vids are prolly completely spontaneous. Oh the white guy can play the MELODICA, whatever that is.

Pluuus, they have amazing vocals!

This Song is 'Carve your heart out' (dont worry its not an emo song) plus a gay bit of HSM at the back. Oh n Check out his vid 'the comedy'. Funny to the maxxx!

Mia Rose
She's drop-dead gorgeous, as you can see. aaand she CAN sing!
She's recently signed to some label and she could well be the next Marie Digby.

Her rendition of Iris by the GooGooDolls (i think its better than the original sorreh ida =3)

Andrew Yeh(another asian! We're musically skilleddd mann!)
Ida intro'd this vid to me and i've been hooked on cover songs ever since. Though this song 'am I just a fool' is an original. All his vids are verrryy jiwang. Beware.

Cathy Nguyen and Some other Asian dude(Ai youtube really is turning asian.)
She's done tons of covers of mainstream songs but this cover of Lucky by Jason Mraz n Colbie Caillat with the azn dude is my personal fave. N she damn pretty summore=D

Yay, update complete.
Sorry for the lack of words. I'm urh..Speechless. Yeah.
Dun angry liau ida.
=3

Pfft

2008-06-22T22:39:00.002+08:00

These 3D goggles are a scam I tell yoo!!
I didn't see hannah montana popping up or anything close to that,they cause nothing but extreme nausea.Grace almost threw up after insisting on watching the whole concert up till the credits with the goggles on. She was going" Wait ma, the 3d part haven't start yet" to my mom the whole time, poor her. And she was soo super excited before the concert. The hearts of millions of fangirls like Grace all around the world have been shattered lol.
Boo Disney!! Use gimmicks like these to trick ppl into watching.

Heree you goo Sam!
somehow my manliness doesn't feel enhanced.=(

[BTW in case any of you are wondering,I did NOT watch. No seriously i did not]

Bunny.

Sung to the tune of Bob the Builder =3

Original version by Bethiee, Edited By Seanbean.
It is NOTT lame, its cute and you know it. =3

This year was amazing. Unlike anything we've ever been through before. The way i look at things has completely changed in two weeks. All the hours under the sun, marching topless in the rain, the burns, blisters,day after day of eating Charkuaytiaw for lunch, every second was worthwhile.Though the finish wasn't exactly what we'd like, we'll take it.

And we'll be back next year, that's for sure!
With new kick ass songs like FlooRidaaa's LOWW (Applebottom jeans, ~~boobs~~ boots with the furrr) or Maybe Beep By PCD (( Keep looking at my... *beep*'Cause it don't mean a thing if you're looking at my...*beep*(trumpet solo commences=P))

Naww, just joking, but the Instrumental version of the Spongebob theme sounds darnn cool! But its back to school for now, and piano exams are a month away. Bummmerrr =S

This Post is RANDOM to the MAXXX.

Love You Guys!
Sean.

I haven't been Blogging for a bit, Mostly due to constant procrastination and a lack of inspiration, but here are a few things that've happened in the past month.

Damai Puri Trip
Our Youth organized a trip to Damai Puri on the 20th of March, and.. i can't seem to recall what happened on the day. yeah. ONE month ago. i have SHORTNESS memory. All i remember is having cheesecake and kolo mee by the shore,and many many sandballs flying around. then the rain started pouring. We tried (and failed miserably) to make sandcastles in the rain, so we resorted to swimming in the sea but SOME people just couldn't stop shoving sand down other's pants. Hmmmm...

Some Pics that were taken on the day

Makan-ing

We're the The Blueberry Cheesecakes

Hmm, suggestive pose...

Groupicss

How the hell can Ed stay so nonchalant with sam trying to kiss him??

Albeit having all our belongings soaked by the rain, i'd have to say the trip was REAALY FUN!(from what i remember lahh) =P

Youth Sunday

I led Praise and Worship for Sunday Service for the 1st time, and BOY was i nervous. Although the songs we sang were familiar, the surroundings on the day definitely were NOT. But praise the Lord, everything turned out fine. After worship,Tiff, Beatrice and Evelyn gave the audience a preview of the dance they'd be performing on True Love Waits, and Bryan gave a speech on MYF. Then, after service,we all had Italian Buffet prepared by the aunties.Really really good food=)

Pics

Achhhmed n I

Eeeleen!

Note the vast difference in height?=P

Beth n I

Last but not least, A big thank you to Jeremy for talking to me and unbundling my bundle of nerves before sunday morn. =)

Swinburne Interschool Debate Competition

GRSS sent a relatively new team this year, with everyone being 1st timers besides Julie and Kay. Pre-comp Prep was minimal, with gatherings at the school library resulting in us being kicked out. While our last minute scramble to copy each others points at ida's place turned out to be more of a ball-humping-coke-drinking-guitar-playing session. heh. Thankyoo idaaa.But we did learn a tremendous amount of Info on Imperialism from Ida's dad. Thankyoo unclee.=)

So on the day of the comp, we were pretty nervous (well, i was lah). Evan was just unnaturally calm though.. Well we got through the Prelims with a 4-1 record. The loss coming from the match against Samuel's team. Evan and I were talking before the match, and suddenly came to a realization that we've both NEVER EVER beaten Samuel. Somehow. Put together, we've matched-up with Samuel's team a total of 6 times. And our record against him-
0-6
!@#$

After the verdict was announced, we were just.utterly.dumbfounded. We lost. AGAIN!
Our new record against Sam-
0-7
Yeah, i know. not something to be proud of, so i have no idea why i'm posting this.

But....
Thank Goodness!! we made it through to the quarters!!=)

then we lost again.

Yeah.

Well at least Nazreen offered to share his loser's sweater with me. =D =D

Nono, its not this one. Thats his Ghey sweater. I don't have a pic of the Emo sweater

I don't know why, but after our loss, Evan started rambling about how he was the Image of our team. The essence. THE WIND BENEATH OUR WINGS!
Here are some parts of our convo

Convo 1
Evan: Eh sean, u know, i'm like the IMAGE of our team lah!
Sean:Shaddap La Yoo!
Evan:Deduhh! i AM! Lemme give you a simple anology..We Function like a Body. Now as second Speaker, i'm Right in the Middle, and when people see our team, they see me 1st. Thus, I'm the Face, the Image.
Sean:Okay fine, Me n Kay leh?
Evan:Urh...you guys can be the boobs and the Butt lah
Sean: *STRANGGLLESS HIM*

Convo 2
Evan: Okay, i give u a less sexual example. WE ARE ARSENAL.
Sean: Yeah. sure.Whatever.
Evan: No Serious, put it this way,I'm like FABREGAS! The superstarrr! The IMAGEE!
Sean: HOW ABOUT KAY AND I!?
Evan: i dunno, er...gilberto and Lehman lor...anything la.
Sean: %@#$ u lah!!
Evan: Its true lah, i'm The playmaker, the Cornerstone of our success!!
Sean: Hmm, well that explains alot- Like how we lost in the quarterfinals, JUST LIKE ARSENAL DID!!!
Evan: ...

Moving on, I got to witness the senior finals, and BOY was it a close match. The two teams(Lodge A and Green Road B) were very evenly matched, with no team having the clear advantage.I won't go into the details of the match (i kinda don't remember) but in the end, Lodge came away with the victory, and got to take the Trophy home after winning it for the 3rd time.

Congratulations to Lodge A(senior champs), and Green Road B(runners-up), Green Road C(Junior champs). And also to Ju, Sam (both sams =P), Ida, Karen and Hannah for winning best speaker awards.

P.s. A big Thankuu to Ida, Ju, and Kay for teaching me all that i know. And to DJ, Sam, Karen, Hannah,Arianne,Arlene, n Nazreen for making this competition such a fun one! and to Dan, for the prayers=)
Last but not least, Thanks to EVAN FOR BEING THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS!

NST WORKSHOP

Bong, Julie, Peiyi and I skipped school on Saturday to attend a workshop on global climate change at Merdeka Palace. But in fact, we didn't know what was in store for us. Turned out that besides learning about global climate change, we were required to write an article for NST after interviewing a teacher about the topic. The task proved to be...quite a challenge, due to some unforeseen distractions.=D

Our ultra-kiasu Group:Green Peace.
From left:Me, Emmanuel, Peiyi, Joel, Julie, Kelvin, Priscilla and Leo

But the highlight of the day was definitely Lunch at Beccari's. Bong and I Stuffed ourselves with italian food to the point where moving became almost painful. With all that food in our tummies, coupled with the fact that it was post-lunch nap time for both of us,we were struggling to keep awake when the afternoon talk started.
Bong came up with this to keep himself from dozing off.

Product of extreme boredom

All the fun aside, the Workshop really showed us how serious a problem global climate change is now, and the scary things(like the whole of Singapore being submerged) that are going to happen if it isn't put to a stop. We also learned tips on Journalism and how to write a basic article for a newspaper. All in all, i had a great time.

THERE! Done!!
A month's worth of blogging all crammed into ONE POST. Sorry if my recollections of past events were vague and/or uninformative. Cant help it.Short memory span.

*tq to Julie, Bong and Ida for allowing me to steal Pics from ur sites

SEAN.
(greg, are u ever gonna post anymore?)

10,000 B.C

2008-03-14T20:09:00.008+08:00

We met at the Spring to celebrate Amanda's very belated birthday,but after watching the trailer on the 24" iMac at the Spring, we (maybe just the guys) felt compelled to go watch the movie, so after rummaging through the papers in MPH for the screening times, we (again, just the guys) hopped on a cab to Star Cineplex. The girls however,had PeiYi's driver bring them there.Nofairr.

The movie was actually showing at 5, instead of 4 o'clock written in the papers. So, either Leonard got the time wrong, or MPH sells yesterday's newsapaper.Hmm...
Julie n Ida wanted to go see Spiderwick Chronicles instead, but after reassuring them that they'll get to see Steven Strait in this movie, we finally managed to convince them to stay for 10,000B.C. We spent the next hour waiting and listening to some very.very.VERY dodgy jokes which Agoo in particular seemed to enjoy ALOT.

The movie is about this hunter-D'leh, running around the whole world, from Antartica to Borneo to like...Egypt,trying to save his girl, Evolet from a super Hiao-Mo general. There was mention of some prophecy being fulfilled, though i can't seem to recall what the prophecy was...=P

Nyeh, i thought the movie was more like an Ice Age reunion, with the Mammoths and Sabretooth Tigers n all, all that was missing was the Sloth..
but dont worry....
they replaced him with an oversized DODO.
No Samuel, it isn't a phororhacos(whatever that is)
Its a DODO

Can't you see the uncanny resemblance between the two?=)

Now one of the Main reasons we (yet again, the guys) wanted to watch this flick was Evolet(Camilla Belle)

She's HOT!!!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Or so we thought
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Until
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I saw THIS!!!

AHHHH!!!
I.Am.scarred.
FOR.LIFE.

Sooo Leonard, she's not so hot now, is she?
:S

I think I'll stick with Mandy Moooreee

=3

Oh, and

CONGRATULATIONS DANIEL!! on your GREAAAT SUCCESS!!!
so don't be emo aye?

Frailty

2008-02-14T15:14:00.004+08:00

So void of apathy
never felt so breakable
But letting go now isn't an option
because I've never even gotten hold

You're the puppet master
and i'm your fool,
The worst part is that i'm still falling for you

Can't go to the ocean
can't walk the streets at night
or wake up in the mornings
without you on my mind

Now I'm hanging by a thread
but I bet you're just fine
Tell me,
Do I really make it that easy
For you to walk in and out of my life?

Thrown myself into the deep end
and I'm prepared to drown
My heart screams in desperation
but you don't hear a sound

Now I'd give everything just to forget
All i want is to get some rest
So I close my eyes and wait
and hope that in time,
you'll fade.
I need to live again.

Happy Valentine's

You call it the season hiatus

2008-01-22T21:10:00.000+08:00

To you, boob! If u even know my blog exists!

So you're leaving on a jetplane, and you dont know when you'll be back again.

Ai, suku gang loses a member.
I lose a shoving partner.
Tse Chuen's stuck in the zone.period.
No more KT tunstall vs. mandy moore
no more playing "would you rather...."

Here's the past 3 years in retrospect.

You can't POSSIBLY forget neopets. ~~i can't believe i'm making this public~~

The Original

Reprise

Tse Chuen's Death face

some groupies.

the only non-suggestive pic of the two of us i could find.=)

So life'll be devoid of ANY headbanging whatsoever until you get back, that is unless tse chuen comes to my class, which i doubt. But it's like you said, hopefully it'll be just a Short ~~10 year~~ respite, and our shoving days ain't over till the fat lady sings.(which in this case is tubby)
And while you're gone, go milk some cows, ride some sheep, n i'll buy a pig for you to bring over nextime.

Well call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me.
;P

I know,Its kinda late for a new year's post.
It's been 8 days into the new year,
and while students from other schools are starting to feel the wrath of form four,
all we(greenians) have done is, well, sit on the dewan floor playing bingo and discussing certain political issues while the teachers are rambling away.
pretty productive.
The class i'm in, 4s2 has something like 33 girls compared to only 12 guys.
Is that good thing? it is for SOME of us *erhem*

not me.really ;.3

We are Liverpool!!
even though we lost to ManUtd,
and Reading,
Drew with Wigan,
And Luton.
We're still the mighty reds.
ladidaaa.

The song realize has been on playback in my head for the past week.

I'm feeling the winds of change beginning to take effect.=(

Well,Happy new year!
and, Greg, puhleeeeaasse come online!

Singapore

2007-12-26T14:44:00.000+08:00

I went to s'pore to spend pre-christmas for a week.
To do some christmas shopping and alot of eating.Stayed at an uncle's place.I thought that I could escape the backlash of my pre-match gloating in singapore, cause, as far as i know, no one from church i knew was there. But, SOMEHOW, in a Metropolis of 4.6 mil ppl, i managed to bump into Grace n Bryan. what were the odds of that?! and true enough, they rubbed it in.Bryan was even wearing his MU jersey.And, to add to the misery, i found out that Pmr results would be out on the 27th.
Won't go into any detailed bits of the trip, but here are a few pics.

Orchard Road is insanely lighted up this time of year.Really pretty stuff.

We also spent a full day at Vivocity, and it was, umm very curvaceous to say the least. :D

Lunch with the cousins.

A dodgy crab at the underwaterworld.

Saw many of these machines all around Singapore, their purpose is self-explainatory

One of the highlights of the trip was the Christmas celebration at City Harvest Church.10000 people Crowded inside the expo centre for the event.The worship was out of this world, and the Christmas drama was the best i've ever seen.Really Amazing stuff.

Candlelight.

Gunners vs Blues....and....City vs Toffees..

2007-12-17T18:13:00.001+08:00

first off..i watched the man city game becoz i tot that the newcastle game was at the same time..unfortunately..it wasnt..but luckily i got to catch another good game...man city have been a great team this season..and all to their good home form..only concedin 3 goals at home..too bad tho..cuz their defence seemed in shambles as defensive errors were the cause of the goals..but sub etuhu made a good contribution..making runs and causin defence...nuff said....

NOW...TO THE HIGHLY WAITED FOR GAME>>>>

ARsENAL VS CHeLSEA

initially i tot that both teams would come out undermanned..with fabs, hleb, flamini missing with injury for arsenal..and essien, drogba, and malouda out for chelsea.but arsenal pushed the missing trio in midfield back in time for the game..but chelsea..well..they din..hahaha..too bad..but seriously..all chelsea are without drogba are a couple of players that cant score..(except lampard..hes good ill give him that)..

the match started off as any london derby would be..RASH!..and hard..crunching tackles here and there...fabs reli couldnt get his game together and it wa chelsea that shocked the home fans..but almunia was equal to the attack..he had a great game and managed to keep chelsea at bay..him combined with gallas and toure who were absolutely great..limited chelsea to only glancing shots..but it was chelsea's most consistent player that made a vital mistake..PETR CECH..he mishandled the corner..and gallas scored on his return...chelsea were stunned...

2nd half..started the same as the first did..full of tackles...and fouls...and some one paid the price...john terry was stretchered off with a foot injury...and ben haim came on..fresh hope for arsenal...arsenal tried to hit chelsea on the counter attack..and grant brought kalou on to replace makelele..that..combined with gilberto's inclusion..gave fabs much more space to run in..persie came on to great effect..takin part in 2 ruled off goals..one which was an offside.(totally bogus)..and a foul(mayb..)...in the final 10 minutes..chelsea reli tried..but almunia capped off a great performance with a clean sheet..giving arsene wenger his first win against chelsea...

but before it ended..literally the last kick of the match was by fabs to cashley cole..hahaha..he got him near his groin..and cole quickly grabbed him by the throat..it was intrestin..there hasnt been a single game between this two teams that doesnt have arguments, hard tackles, and controversy..thats a london derby i guess..credit to arsenal..who fought hard..dug in and got the result...

man of the match: Manuel Almunia...on a day when many would think fabs would shine..he was caught out by makelele and mikel..giving him no room to manuever..but almunia made saves that kept arsenal their lead..esp in the last 10 minutes...

HOPE UR HAPPY TUBBY!!HAHAHHAHA

boca juniors vs ac milan (fifa Club World Cup Final)

2007-12-17T17:53:00.000+08:00

so..the great week in football is finally over...the night started with the fifa cwc final..i was lookin forward to this becoz a european team has never won this ever since the name changed..i quickly took my spot in the recliner with the exact same clothes i wore on the night milan beat LIVERPOOL!!!...hahhaa..take that sean..the same shirt...pants..hell, even undies...call me superstitious..but it works..hahaha..

anyways..on to the game..the first 20 minutes were borin..milan tried to do their catenaccio(tight defending) against a team that hardly attacked..no one had the ball for more than 3 minutes...the defending was so tight that kaka only had 1 shot..which was pretty bad..as soon as he got the ball....BAM!!two guys were on him..amazing eh??luckily, milan soaked up the pressure and attacked quickly, kaka able to make a run that ended with a pass to inzaghi which was inch perfect..thru the legs and straight shot..GOAL!!...that din reli get me off the seat but it was a goal...

kick-off...and boca mangaed to get a corner...they took it quick and while milan were busy talkin abt maldini retiring...hahaha..they scored..a header by palacio..bad defendin..almost no defending at all..hahhaa...palacio made darting runs for the next 20 minutes..milan barely able to get into the final third..the whistle came and i was relieved..much like the ucl final..but i knew ancelotti had smth up his sleeve..hopefully he would take maldini off who was reli bad..everyone was tryin to pass it to him even when he was far away from the ball...

2nd half...the nigllin fouls cntinued..ambrosini tryin hard..winnin all the balls in the middle...tryin to outplay everyone..palacio runnin more..boca looked like scorin..only to let their rlei bad finishing down..nesta scored at the other end with a good volley...and 2-1 it was...boca tried harder..and when palacio missed a reli good chance to score..from 6 yards out..only to blast wide..it was depressing..what was more depressing was that milan quickly scored frm the counter..teh look on palacios face was teriible..i know how it feels like to miss a good chance and only for the other team to score..that reli sucks..but..boca tried to fight their way back..unfortunately it wasnt to be..inzaghi got another goal after kakas run..and the final nail was in the coffin...

then madness began..kaladze got sent off for stamping on a players foot..milan conceded an own goal from ambrosini..which was reli sad..and boca had a Pablo Ledesma sent off for a rash tackle on kaka..the final whistle blew..and the milan camp were absolutely mad...they hugged and cheered as boca just cried..in the end it was just difference between experience and inexperience..milan were able to control the game..put boca to sleep with their slow tempo and have kaka make all the runs...

i thnk ancelotti's moves in this game were crucial..he put faith in maldini..benchin cafu who was playin well in the competition..he trusted maldini..and he din disappoint..(his second half) performace was great..but credit to boca..they tried..and tried..but still...inexperience cost them....

Once again, the mu-liverpool matchup ends in a disappointing defeat for the reds. Liverpool were coming into the game on a high after their 4-0 annihilation of Marseille. Rafa, for only the third time in 3 years, named an unchanged side. The First half started well,both teams struggling to gain the upperhand in midfield with MU having the first period of sustained pressure. But after the 20th minute, it was all Liverpool. The reds stormed forward relentlessly, and two mix-ups between Van Der Sar and his fullbacks would've produced goals, if not for last ditch goaline clearances.
Albeit liverpool having vast amounts of possession, it was MU who scored 5 mins before halftime with their 1st clear chance of the match.
Tevez slotted the ball home after a short corner.Liverpool's marking was virtually non-existant and you could see Carra rolling on the floor when the ball hit the back of the net.?!?
We went into the halftime break a goal down,and you should've seen the look on jons face.

exept gay-er and more constipated=)

Liverpool again started the second half well, with most of the possession.MU were restricted to the occasional counter-attack. FINALLY. after 60 mins rafa decided to take off kuyt and kewell, the two most hopelessly useless players of the day and sent babel and crouch onto the field. babel injected much needed pace and, crouch, well. he's crouch.

nuff' said.

But alas, liverpool weren't to get the break through, partially because MU parked a bus infront of their goal, partially cuz liverpool just couldn't find any creative spark. Torres, usually so lethal, barely managed a shot on target and even gerrard couldn't inspire an anfield comeback.

so,in the end..

Ronaldo's diving practice paid off.

We're still the mighty reds.

At the end of the day,we missed our chances, they took theirs. And, Mu, deservedly.won.

Sam.wipe that grin off ur face.

Well since greg's already briefed us on what his schedule in aus is like, i'd introduce both of us.

We've known each other since kindy where he almost poked my left eye out when he played baddie.
we've done ALOT of stupid stuff, apart and together.
Greg?
He's had the balls to skip ZHU LAO SHI.only one in history ever to do so.
Me?
I've had the mad footie skills and lobbed a half full water bottle onto a guys car in school, with the driver still inside.when he came out to kill us. we ran.Showed great macho-ness
=D
And between the 2 of us, we've broken at least 10 panes of glass.
thats just the tip of the iceberg of the stuff we've done. shall not go into any further detail.

well incase u don't already know..

im sean.

this is greg.

(When he was still cute)

Sean & Greg

us..agaain.

well basically, the two of us together spells retardation.
Okay, that's enough.

We'll be posting about the colossal clashes between liverpool n MU,n ARSEnal n chelski respectively soon.
