Training!!! =D

Went or badminton training today..=)

Haven't played for 2 weeks, so I was slightly rusty.

My ankle hasn't fully healed, so I wore an ankle guard.

So...after 2 weeks of rest...I'm not fit to play badminton just yet. =(

Cannot run.

But then, to compensate for that...I WAS STRETCHING SO MUCH!!!!

WOOHOOO!!

Stretch forward for shots, stretch sideways for shots. But then it ached slightly every time I stretch for shots.

Played doubles. Me and Kean Weng vs Gabriel and Benjamin. We lost 21-19. Not bad for someone who is handicapped..XD

Then Darrell said winner stay. =(

So I rested.

Next. We played more doubles. Me and Gabriel vs Kean Weng and Benjamin. We won!! 21-17

And then Darrell said winner stay again. =(

Didn't manage to play a second game with them.

So Gabriel and I stayed, Pui Jin and the MSSD girl(donno her name) came on. Walau.

Sebastian and Kean Weng almost lost to the MSSD girl and her MSSD partner. But then due to injury, Kean Weng had to withdraw. That was 2 weeks ago.

Now. I'm injured. Gabriel just came back from UK. Hasn't played in 4 weeks.

The odds were stacked against us. Even Kean Weng was saying, "Quit now la. No need to play."

So 0-0.

1-0

2-0

3-0

4-0

4-1

5-1

6-1

7-1

8-1

9-1

10-1

11-1

WALAU!!! We were leading 11-1!! Kean Weng was saying it was luck..lols.

They brought the fight to us later on in the match.

We were leading 18-16. I was shit scared, but all the shots that i served...were PERFECT! =D

We won 21-19. Phew.

After that game, my leg hurt like hell.

I somehow felt differently after that game. There was once during the game early on. The girl attacked non stop. I think she knew I was the weaker player, so she kept smashing me, and I kept sending them back, even if it was a half court smash!! And then she made a mistake, and Gabriel finished it. =D

She never attacked me after that...hehe.

Hopefully my leg would be fully healed by next week, cause Darrell said he wants to push us. =D

Battlefield Heroes(BFH) is out!

It has finally been released!! Open Beta! =D

I've been waiting for this game's release since Dec 2007.
It's release has been postponed many times. Reason given, to provide a higher quality game for gamers...=D
I'm glad some companies do care about gamers' feelings towards games and not rush them out..like RO2.

Downloaded it 2 days ago. My verdict, quite a big let down after all the trailers, the hype, the reactions from game expos. =(

The creators have mentioned that this game would not need skill to play...NOW I know what they mean. Now sure how to explain if you're not a gamer. Let me put it this way.

If you play L4D or WolfTeam or CS, those games require hell lotta skill. Precise shooting.
BFH takes that away. You can shoot the guy in front of you..and you may not even damage him...wth? It's more of a, "If you don't have skills to play a shooting game, and like cartoons, then play this game" kind of games.

It's entertaining and cute. =)

But if you were to play with the mentality of L4D and the others..you'll be left frustrated. Trust me. Or you can ask Zhang Rei as well..XD

Btw, my relatives from Aussie are in Malaysia. My uncle the chef, some of you may have heard of him, he bought truffles!! Never seen one before..and it didn't look like the ones on TV which cost hundreds of bucks...hehe.
and it smells like cheese..wonder why.

Doesn't it fall under the category?

I followed my mum to Giant today. Haven't been there for some time, and there are shop lots opposite Giant. I remembered it as a construction site. =P

Cilantro.

This was a culinary school opposite Giant!! Cool!!

Drove towards the shop lots to 'pat kua'. Saw a few students walking out..Taylor's culinary arts' uniform is way nicer.

So I decided to do some 'research' about the place.

Checked out the courses that they offered.

One thing caught my eye.

Diploma.

They teach various kinds of cuisine. "Western and Pasta" was one of them.

???HUH???

Pasta is Italian. Doesn't it come under Western?

And there are English classes to improve the proficiency of their students' English.

ok. weird.

*looks at his "Best Chef Award" from Shermaine and Kevin. =)

*recalls stuff from so so so many cooking shows and questions from some of his friends. =S

I ain't a chef...I know so very little. I wish, one day I could use Marco Pierre White's statement, when asked why he dropped his Michelin stars. He had this to say, "I was being judged by people who know less than me."

Awesome.

Random stuff.

Wednesday

-Went out with Dom and Eujin to GSC 1 Utama. Watched Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen.

-NICE SHOW!!!

Saturday(Today)

-Woke up with my Achilles tendon aching like hell!!

-For no stupid reason..I got another injury on the same foot!!

-My leg was feeling so much better after my injury last Sunday..and now this.

-No badminton tomorrow...=(

The pain is unbearable!! TT

My leg is in PAIN!!!

Here's the story on how it happened...

Went for badminton training, like I always do every Sunday.

I started warming up with Yoseph. It was fun driving shots at each other instead of the usual lobbing that others do.

After that, Daryl wanted us to train our backhand...LOB!!

Everyone wasn't particularly excellent at it...apart from the occasional moments where everyone hit it really nicely..had a few moments my self...=D

After that, we did 5 sets of footwork...*I hate this*

Then we were free..=)

So I rested while others were busy playing singles and doubles.

After most had left, Benjamin had asked me to hit some shots with him. So I went.

Benjamin is always working on his smashes..but after a while..he got tired, so he wanted to defend instead...so I smashed..=)

It went AMAZINGLY WELL!!! The best feeling I've had while playing badminton for over a month!!(I've played really shitty badminton every since my brother came back from Singapore)

So, once I got into a rhythm, I kept on smashing...and then...

on one smash..I jumped slightly(like always) and smashed...and then it hurt.

I landed on the outer side of my left foot and rolled on the ground in pain. The Benjamin called Daryl to come over to check.

Daryl and Man Chun got me up to my feet and seated me at a nearby chair. Then my brother and Benjamin brought their leftover ice(from a packet of 100PLUS), that Ben had bought, to place over my ankle. It wasn't so painful after a while.

And I drove home. Everyone there was concerned as to whether i could drive...no problem..=)

Reached home..it got more painful.

Went for dinner..it got even more painful.

Came back..IT HURT LIKE HELL!!

After watching F1(no Ferrari on the podium...haihs)..I couldn't even stand up.

I had to crawl up the staircase!!!

My parents were laughing all the way up...what wonderful parents I have...=)

At least I could reach my comp..=)

Now..it isn't so painful. Took Celebrex and Panadol. Hopefully can sleep well.

DOMINIC IS BACK!!

Eujin is gonna leave soon(next Monday to be exact), so only this week to hang out.

Intend to go out this Thursday, and hopefully catch Transformers..=D

Okie...gtg now.

More work needed.

Based on my current form...no way on earth can I do well at Nottingham..=(

So inconsistent.

Unable to focus.

Damn low stamina.

I still have about 4 more months to train...hopefully it's enough. =)

I seem to only up my game when Hock Chin is playing as well...=D

Cause I wanna beat him everytime...hehe..XD

F1 gonna start soon...gotta go..=)

The after that, I'm gonna play L4D with my cousin and bro..=D

FREEDOM!!!!!

Went to Taylors' library to study at around 11.30am.

Met Ikram, Elisa, Shermaine and Sara there. 

They were scaring me...well more because of Sara, cause she would say stuff about Criminal law out loud...everytime she said something..I would check it out as well...LOLS.

Then at about 1pm, we left for c18. Elisa was so stressed out.

So Ikram, Sara and Shermaine cheered her up by singing songs and stuff...lols!! 

The best was probably Ikram and Shermaine singing Glamorous by Fergie!!

Ikram had that chinese accent...DAMN FUNNY!!!!

Move aside Wil.i.am....Ik.r.am is in the house!!! XD

Then everyone stress again when everyone else arrived. =(

Went in at 1.45pm.

I saw the questions, and I was like...luckily I was listening to Ikram and Sara discuss Theft and Fraud...=)

Hopefully correct la...but should be ok..=D

I liked the essay question on omission..=)

Had 5 minutes to spare...=D

Justin Liew had about 15 minutes. Saw him putting his hand behind his head...like so relax...

Overall....the exams ended nicely..=)

Supposed to sing "We Are the Champions" right?

Everyone to excited to leave the hall...lols!!

After exam...everyone was quite happy..=)

When I was leaving the C18, I saw Sara talking Mr Lai.

When I passed them, I greeted Mr Lai.

Then he was pumping his fist in the air and he said something..didn't get it at first.

Then I realised he said "Barcelona"....LOLS!!!!

So funny..=)

But yeah!!! Barca is going to win!!!!!

YAY!!! Playing badminton tomorrow!!!!

After that, go present hunting for a second time! =) Didn't find anything suitable at Subang Parade when I went with my mom on Friday.

Now....i'm going to take my PS2 out and play...=D

HAPPY HOLIDAYS PEOPLE!!!!!!

CYA TOMORROW AT TGIF!!!
