The Grand Finale

Firstly i would like to apologise for the picture for some reason they aren't showing anymore and i have no idea why...so for now...errr...just read the captions and IMAGINE there is something there haha until i can do something about it which right now is a little bit of an issue with the erm...poor connectivity in malaysia due to the earthquakes in Taiwan, i should be glad i can even post this message haha.

So how was my year 2006?

Like every other year there have been lots of up and lots of downs. It thus far has proved to be a valuable experience of a year where i think this really has been a turning point in my life and i have matured(well kinda).

It all really slapped me in the face when i recieved my results at the end of 2005 and all i can say is i did really poorly and its not something i can be proud of. Year 2006 came and i saw a knew light on life my parents had given me a 3rd chance and i thank them and am ever so grateful for this opportunity to continue with my education which, im not sure if most of you know, almost ended at that time. The year actually began with a bang a new girlfriend, uni was sorted, on good term with all my friends and parents gave me another chance at really hitting the books and doing something with my life. No sooner had i left back to Melbourne did things really start to fall on me all over again.

-The loss of the new girlfriend
-Constant distractions such as clubbing and football
-The poor work produced at uni

It really wasn't looking to good at the beginning where i strayed significantly from all the important things that i needed to focus on and it seemed rather familiar. I felt i was throwing away another year and this really hit me after mid year exams(ya i know a bit late) where i had failed a subject. I realised then i had to buck up. In conjunction with my passing grandfather which i watched passed away infront of my own eyes and was truly traumatised, but my father told me he always feared of passing away alone and hungry. His fear was never realised as my grandfather passed while choking on his favourite food, ironically, and all if not most family members were present so thank god that he really did see the end of his life on a positive note. It was to be a real eye opener for me and may my grandfathers legacy live in all of us. At this point i realised i needed to do well i couldn't slack any further if not marcus and all my good friends in my junior year will be catching up with me! and i had to work hard for myself and for my future.

Of course the year hadn't been all bleak and dark haha far from it! alot of joyous memories came from it! the year i turn 18! into a man! haha or as my brother would say wahhh tai chai sang kuku mo LoL, A few of my cousins were to find their partners for life(or at least i hope so!) and joined in holy matrimony congradz to pat and paul and a few of my other cousins who saw the inside of a church! or at least those who chose to hah and to my god brother who will be getting married in a short 2 days time. But there have also been end to relationships which have been great and the centre of my admiration for years to come, one of which was my brothers which didn't last very long but am ever so grateful didn't last very long! and hope some day will get married haha. Another of which was my realli good frends who saw an end to a beautiful relationship but my hope and prayers are with them to hopefully find that spark to reignite their wonderful relationship they had. Man Utd are also playing FANTASTICALLY and Reading did us a massive favour by owning Chelsea's keepers which were their most important players. In terms of my own sporting achievements i've shared many ups and downs from scoring screamers and given nicknames to, unfortunately, given the title butterfingers and poor keeping but finished division 4 champions! err... yay? haha

So the end of year approaches and second semester draws to a conclusion...a positive conclusion! although there was some complications i did it! i passed first year successfully! and i was proud and fully satisfied. I would then come back to Malaysia to start work at the advertising agency TBWA/ISC+Tequila/Mylo, where i would see and experience so many of the work worlds great things. Where i witnessed one of the final products of the company's achievements in the form of Salem's Revelation 2006 Melaka and later on go on to help with other subsequent events. I was to move onto further better things, my ex that i have been desperately avoiding since the break up, have made amends! i got a new laptop!which my parents were more than happy to purchase for me upon my success of completing first year. Finally the my overseas trip for the first time to Vietnam proved to be a very interesting and entertaining journey as blogged before i managed to achieve one of the things i wanted to do before i die!

Because i will be heading to Macau in a short 3 days i thought that it would be best, not knowing how stable my internet connection is at home, that i should write this in the office before i leave, since i have officially finished work for 2006.

As the year rapidly comes to an end I would like to wish everybody who reads this(if any) a very safe and extremely happy new year! and may 2007 be full of joy for you and your family, i know most will be heading overseas i wish you guys all the best! and those joining me in melbourne, be prepared for an entertaining year with the notorious crew consisting of marcus, me, wy kit, jon and ben sum

ENJOY LIFE IT ONLY HAPPENS FOR YOU ONCE!

VietNam...tOo CoOl

Just got back from the country which was war torn by the americans...and it was seriously fantastic...when i went there i was half expecting to do, buy nothing, see nothing. Upon arrival there already was a strong sense of disdain...it wasn't until i reached my hotel that things began to slowly look up. The first day we decided to have seafood! and it was a delight. Fresh, Live and glorious seafood! i thought i was in heaven i tell you...the lobster, river prawns, crabs, clams and fish were all so delicious looking it was really a sight that caused sore eyes hah.

River Prawns from the night! don't they just look excellent...bbq-ed...if only i had taken more photos of the other seafoods. It really was fantastic. The food slightly differs from melbourne vietnamese and although its supposedly more 'authentic' the 'Pho' (pronounced as Fur) which is the beef noodles, was pretty average...although i only ate at the really touristy looking places haha.
The driving and traffic truly scary and apparently not so long ago malaysia was like that! so not cool man haha but quite obviously malaysia still shows signs of this and i kid you not when i say this photo was taken on an almost normal night! It really is a fast paced moving city, even the little old ladies just shoved me out of the way as if i was just another obstruction!wellll if you think bout it i kinda am...haha anyways the traffic was really scary and crossing the road EVEN scarier although people there swerve around you unlike in malaysia where they try to hit you over.


Me trying to blend in with the local gangsters with my gangster pose.

The highlight of my trip however was achieving something that i told myself i had to do before i die...a list i shall not name because it is something i just want to keep to myself...but this is one thing im pretty comfortable sharing! we went to the Cu Chi (Kuchee) tunnels where the vietkongs lived underground for a considerable amount of time and man...i could barely even fit in the damn tunnel, i am the size of an american and i can quite honestly say that it really is a bitch to be climbing through those tunnels. The chances of people being killed in those tunnels are so high and it really is engenuis...but the real high light came when we got to the range! No not a driving range but a shooting range, and i had the opportunity to experience one in a life time...shooting a gun...and not just any gun! i finally realised how damn hard it was to aim and actually hit something! the target was 200 meters away but it really takes one hell of a shot to be able to hit something acurately , i cant imagine running and shooting someone...that almost seems impossible but it really was a fantastic feeling. The two guns i shot were an AK-47 which im sure most of you know what it is and the other was a machine gun no idea what the name is but damn one you hit the trigger you never let go!

Live AmmoAK-47
Machine Gun
Bang Bang
Recoil Hurt!!!
Camo in the vietnamese jungle...haha

Me and the grandfather enjoying a vietnamese meal

Anyways realli tired...need the rest!

Peace out

The monthly jen

This will be a monthly thing where i randomly update fotoz of jen becuz she has no more space to put her damn billions of fotoz (80 gig of her hard drive is PHOTOS) so i KINDLY obliged *cough forced to cough* place them here for your viewing (unfortunate) pleasure!(not).






Enjoy!

What to do on a weekend without you...

All the yf-ers went on camp on the weekend which means my lepak buddy isn't available so i had to improvise with the lepak buddies i had in kl which were may and bryan. We decided, since the parents, or at least mine, were out we should go out and party party or rather js hang and chill lol so we all went to hartamas for the night and it was to be quite an eventful night...as we sat there i casually ordered a shisha hehe...and for those of you who dont know wat shisha is its not a bong...well it is kind of but it does not have such strong effects on you like a bong does...anyway me and bryan tried to emulate a dragon by exhaling the smoke like so...
And for some reason...may found it oh so very funny...failed attempts...and rather amusing faces as she took the photoz so we got one of her HAH in your face may~!
A special mention to May who is the self proclaimed skilled photographer...*cough* so i thought i would just give her the mention she WANTS...hehehe
Anyways later on we discovered there was a road block and we noticed that there were lots of people so we happily assumed it was illegal drag racing and we discussed how inappropriate/appropriate it was to do this in hartamas, only to find out later that it was an organised event by porsche,! lol

Weekend got particularly dreadful we i was dead tired with a bad stomach flu and inability to sleep my mad parents woke me up early in the morning for the next round of events which was to lead to a miserable monday morning...first i woke up in the morning to get a haircut which ended up looking like i just got out of the amercian army...then, already extremely tired, i went to my grandfathers house where i saw my relatives and tried to get some rest...which i failed to do miserably BECAUSE my abnormally large sister took the opportunity to SIT on me while i was sleeping...another unsuccessful attempt to rest.

Then when we got home my father decided to go to KLGCC...now you can imagine since i am already almost just about dead...i get asked to play badminton and go bowling which severely injured my forearm and my groin(playing badminton) which i am nurturing back today...shortly thereafter my father decides we should go to plaza damas and NOT go home...which i needed oh so badly...we proceeded to have dinner by which i was already falling asleep at the table almost allowing my head to be planted straight into my wantan mee...then my dad took the liberty of dragging my fat tired ass to pasar malam which by then i decided enuf was enuf and js rested in the car until it was time to get out.

I then struggled to follow a dismal match that united played full of missed chances and disappointed plays...it was realli topped off in the previous match which chelsea managed to salvage shockingly and i was majorly irritated...twas a horrible night indeed...

i now sit at work grumpy, disgruntled and most of all pissed off that united lost i am tired...and i need to sleep...ZZZzzzzZZzzzZZZZzzZZZz

Denial

As much as i hate to admit it...i think i am an internet junkie...after only about 24 hours in the office without the internet i thought i was going to die for sure...hehe although my work heavy relies on the internet (its true OKAY) they fact that i didn't have ANYTHING to do was a bit disturbing...i felt as useless as a fish out of water. So why is it that people are so addicted to the internet? i mean ok for most guys i can already think of 10 reasons why they are useless without the internet...

1. No porn
2. No friendster to stalk chicks
3. No blogs to search for other chicks
4. No chicks to chat to on msn
5. No sports updates (in my case football/soccer)
6. No youtube!
7. No online games
8. No life-wasting forums to read
9. No searching of chicks pics on google
10. No research can be done (i swear this is the only thing affecting me hehe)

hmm...ladies...maybe a bit harder to figure out but im sure it may be some where along those lines...or maybe closer towards the bottom bit...hah im sure...anyways its some of the reasons I think guys will die without the internet haha not that im affected by most of these things since you knowwww i don't watch porn or stalk chicks on friendster...*dum dee dum* ANYWAYS swiftly moving on i was doing ground work yest at a formal event! that was a blast although now i think im completely deprived of sleep...am so damn tired...but it was still good fun to help out and watch it all get set up, Royal Salute for Chivas...oh man it was great! its amazing how some of these things get put together and even more amazing when they pull it off! i was shown the brandscape and it was just a computer generated picture of the entire event. Next thing i know im looking at the EXACT set up they came up with and it looked so exact! as if they took a photo of it and just pasted it to my eyeballs! it was really amazing. I think i need to start carrying a camera around with me! so many things but nothing i can show on the blog lol.

The craving to game is becoming strong. In dire need to play Dota...and RO...and FM...and and NUUUUUUUUUU im really interested in playing computer games now...dont know why it wasn't like this before...what have i BECOME lol and im desperate to play futsal i want to play futsal WHY DOESNT ANY1 PLAY ANYMORE!!!...in exactly 7 days i will be on a plane to vietnam...or as it was known back then 'nam' lol how fun i may get to fulfill one of my lifes ambition of shooting a gun and i got an event to attend tonite dance off by martell free alcohol nice nice, as my good friend kelvin would put it.

Peace out

My new hobbies

It dawned on me while i was watching the Doha Games that there are a few sports i want to try playing 'properly' before i become too old and rigid or fat...fatt-ER and unable to move. One of those things is sepak takraw. After watching the Doha Games it was apparent that i REALLY wanted to play sepak takraw! watching the agility and flexibility of these players told me i really want to try this game before i really am unable to cope with that sorta movement which i probably can't now hee hee but no harm trying right! er...at the expense of a few u know bones here and there. This game involves a 3 on 3 where players are to play volleyball using their feet! the only part thats not allowed to be used are your hands and to spike the ball the only way...a 360 bicycle...unless some1 is so flexible they can lift their foot straight up and smash the ball downwards haha but i dont think i will ever progress to that stage haha. Here are some painstaking images that would be so cool if pulled off!

Imagine kicking this thing at full speed LoL, this is the Rotan or Bamboo ball used to play! Bloody Australia...if i wanted to bring this ball in they won't let me...i think?...i dont think they will anyway because its made of bamboo. But how mad is this sport! doood all i need is a badminton court 5 more people and its game on! anybody care to join me? haha let me know! this is a must try guys!
Another thing i want to get hang of is the C walk! introduction courtesy of my dancing buddies in aus(ok hes a wannabe shuffler) and i have got to try this and get the hang of it! Its most suitable for the RnB/hip hop genre i would really like to have a go at this! certainly easier on my body than break dancing...haha...infact this was once used by gangs in America to communicate to one another believe it or not! haha this is something else i would like to get around to doing hehe but im more likely to do this than i am to sepak takraw lol


anywayz if anyone is interested in joining me in attempting either sepak takraw or c walk or both!let me know! hehe im a wee bit ambitious bout it would be so cool to play sepak takraw! but err c walk...can really do yourself at home haha but would be fun to get together and attempt it! But football will always be my passion which by the way the red devils won on the weekend again and arsenal aided united by making chelsea draw BOO YAH

My inspiration! - Sepak Takraw

Okay i know what you all are thinking that i am mad to even try this or rather "as if you could get of the ground high enough to kick" but zomg this sport is way cool!

Vain Pot's request

The vain pot has requested i change the foto i previously put up of her, thus the photo has changed to the current foto of her in pink here is an extention of the photos exclusive on my blog! haha apparently no one has seen them not even her boyfriend WELL GEOFF SURPRISE hehe



There u go boys some eye candy!...but she is taken la so sorry cannot distribute any contacts here...*ahem unless a fee is paid* hah and errr if her boyfriend ever reads this IT WASN'T ME SHE FORCED ME TO DO IT, IT WAS ALL HER DOING! i am but an innocent bystander who happened to be caught in the fray...haha. Just so you all know she has about 1000 more photos but due to space constraints i was 'unable' to (more like refused to) upload any more...so on request i will need to speak to the owner of the photos before uploading more...not that she will mind...damn vain pot haha

Poker you fei!

I would firstly, although this is a few days late, would like to congratulate Jenifer on her winning of the Miss Chinese Melbourne pageant I TOLD YOU, you would win don't say i didn't tell you because i did! now i expect some return if u know wat i mean! heehee some pageant contestant names will do just nicely. Here is a foto of the winner! Pretty gurl riteeee but not as pretty as me of course...
Anyways weekend started off with a bang! haha it was the funniest round of poker/most exciting round of poker i have ever played! as expected the most experienced players dominated the game i.e me and marcus. It was to be an exciting round of poker with Marcus, Bryan and Wy keith. It started of aggressive with me, bryan and wy keith going in for the high betting rounds and strong pots and it was to be a game of safety more so than trickery, you know since we are all friends... anyways we had many rounds of amazing hands. 4 hands were most memorable to me, it was exciting with marcus seemingly being the only guy to deal all the sudden deaths no.4 on the list came with bryan's amazing come back lol. He was down heavy and on his last round with one chip left. Who knew he was to win with a pair that was completely and utterly unbelievably unlikely to get and beat us...Then came hand no.3 which i was heavily involved in and was completely and utterly unbelievable...DAMN YOU WY KEITH U FAT GUY...I had pair J's in my hand Bryan had Pair K's and wy kieth had one damn 4....on the flop 3 fours came out first round...and it was like omgwtfbbq wy kieth u haxor cheating scum bag...and then the bets went up and up and up and up...another J came out and i was like oh man 3 J's i got this in the bag wy kieth is lying for sure...i was slightly richer than them so i drew them both to all in. So i thought man if i can kill these 2 off at once...how it would be that it should backfire on my ass...DAMN U WY KIETH AND UR 4's. 2nd hand of the night goes to marcus! who was also on the verge of losing it all when he struck 5 diamond flush...all of us confirm lose...wtf man wtf...and the hand of the night! ROYAL FLUSHHHHH hahaha and i got it! that was realli wtf...although in terms of hands in relation to situations marcus should have won but straight out best hand of the night! beat that man...haha it was realli the shock of the night for me at least, next to wy keiths unbelievable win...damn himmm

After an action packed friday night we had an action packed morning on saturday which saw paik qinn get schooled big time! Marcus and kurwin link up some good play and my monash frend who showed his true striking prowess although he is a goalkeeper...haha it was good fun although i got a bit rough towards the end after countless frustrations, but it was still good fun. I also started collecting more anime...hahaBlood plus! this anime is really good! can't beat One Piece just yet but its almost as good as death note! so guys here is another recommendation of anime kindly provided by my dearest cousin patrick! hes sooo kinddd haha. It is interesting how the japanese can think up of all these realli weird and twisted story lines. You would think that with this sort of talent Japan can be seen as the next hollywood! not the pathetic crap that bollywood produces quality!! not quantity!!!haha i mean if they could produce things like this that make people all over the world follow their stories so religiously they would definitely be able to compete with Hollywood no?

Anyways til next time!
Peace out Homebros
