Disappointing and weird day

Firstly, today on the way home, I almost got conned. At the pedestrian bridge connecting SS15 and SS 14, an Indian guy standing there told me a wicked story!!

He told me that he was sent by his company to deliver a letter!! Can't the postman do it!? And he said that its raining, so he's stuck on the bridge!! A colleague of his dropped him here to deliver it, and he will take a taxi back. But then, with so much expression on his face, he said that he left all his things in the colleague's car, including his wallet and hand phone!!

He asked me to lend him my phone so that he can call the colleague to bring all his stuff here, and that's not all, I denied...of course, and then he ask me to give him some money to take a bloody taxi back to his house!?

So many freaking flaws in what he's saying. I mean, the rain isn't all that heavy, and there are so many shops that would most likely let him make a phone call to someone!! I just said no to everything, and walked away.

As s street smart person *coughing in the background* , I of course wouldn't do anything... I'm not stupid or anything!! This would only work on a baby...even then, a baby wouldn't even for fall it...old trick mister!!

Anywayz, Badminton today...DISASTER!!
I played Horribly! All my net shots couldn't go through, my smashes were hitting the net, and my estimation of whether the shuttlecock is out or in, just went WRONG!!!

Me and Eu Jin lost to Basil and his friend (which is a state player) 21-14. Then, Me and Erik, lost to Eu Jin and some guy, Wayne (whose playing style is very..."Unique")21-16. And I lost to Eu Jin in a singles match, 21-13!! I mean, how could I have lost. I gotta do something about all this, coz hock chin and hee ian are the ones i gotta beat!! and if i lose to Eu Jin just like that, there's no way to get near hee ian, or even hock chin. Haiz...

lousy day for badminton, anyone interested in playing end of next week? coz my holiday, starts after that. I wanna fight hock chin, long time never challenge him ledi.

Birthday Dates

Hi,

Just wanna ask you all out there reading my blog, to post your birthday dates.
This is so that we don't miss out on your birthday, not like me last year...5 beta TOTALLY FORGOT, other than shaun and rabiatul. So sad...=(

And post other people's b'day if you know them as well.

tq

Very hectic right up till next Tuesday.

This whole week, its gonna be full of 'activities', which actually means, that i'm gonna be busy every single day...haiz. Since I have nothing better to post, I'll just tell you whats gonna happen every single day till next tuesday.

Today ( Tuesday)

Mrs Sujata ( below), my business studies teacher has given us certain projects to do, and my group ( Eu Jin, Juna, Izzy, Yue Ling, Benjamin and I) has been assinged to do a survey and make a comparison. About what? That, only tomorrow we are gonna discuss about. We are gonna to carry out this survey this Friday after school. Study law and business.

Wednesday

On this day, we're gonna need to do a lot of climbing up and down the staircase. Because the trial exams for the As and A2 are going on, so our classes has been moved. Most of the classes are at 3.15 other than business which is at C 15, and the Letcures, which are still at LT 8. So, the whole day we're gonna be very tired from all the walking...good training for me for my badminton the following day...lolz! Study Law.

Thursday

This day is the only day I get to play badminton for the week, so i'll need to play as much as possible. And this day is the day i'm gonna beat Hee Ian and Basil/Erik with Eu Jin...AGAIN!!! MUAHAHAHA!!! And i'm gonna settle the score against Eu Jin, which was a tie last week. So, I'm gonna need to do a lot better. Oh, and my uncle and aunt are coming for a holiday, en route to Europe. Study Law.

Friday

After school, we're gonna do the survey. The places most likely we're gonna do it are at Sunway Pyramid, Subang Parade, Carrefour, Giant and Mydin. Its definitely gonna be a tiring day. Wish Me Luck!! Study Law.

Saturday and Sunday

During the weekend, i'm going back with my family to Ipoh for 'Ching Ming'. 2 things I like about 'ching ming' is the time when buying all the praying items and seeing all the unique paper items for burning. I saw a PS 1 once...no kidding!! And the 2nd thing is going to the cemetary and putting all the incense. Kinda fun. Study Law.

Monday

Why did you think I put all the " Study Law" after every day of the week. Take a good guess why...

Tuesday

Presentation day for the business survey.

Thats all folks!!

I'm not who I used to be...

This may well be one of my longest post...EVER!!
This year, I'll be turning 17, but the 15th and the 16th year of my life was the most fun I had as my class( Form 4/5 Beta) was the perfect class, and I had the perfect friends. =)


This was the only class I stayed with together for 2 years, as in previous years, I would go to a lower class.



This picture beside, we're with our Moral teacher...and I think you would be able to spot me out. This isn't our whole class, but it is one of the nicest looking one with me and my class.



Lets start with Form 4. I only knew a few people then. Shaun and Ken Hou were the two I knew best, as I was in the same class as them in Form 2(Omega). I sat with Shaun since day 1, and as time went on, the whole class was getting to know each other really well.





This was us when we were in Form 4.( sorry if the pic is a bit blur)


We had all kinds of things to talk about, and not one day would be boring. This is also the time when i got back my passion for badminton because about 7 people in my class has an interest in this game.


The good ones are Hock Chin, Erwin, and Eu Yang. They are the ones I have always wanted to beat, and till today, they still are.

The teacher on the right ( yes! to all Betas, you know what i'm gonna talk about.), is our accounts teacher. Name, Pn Pan( Low Kwee Fong). At first, I always looked forward to her lessons, but as time passed, everyone knew why our seniors always complain about her.

She will always 'char' you, if you don't do her work, don't get good results for her paper, and especially if you're one of the weaker ones. I think majority were weak, so there were always many 'shows' to watch during accounts class, and no one ever wanted to be the 'main actor' for the lesson...but if anyone knows, I was the 'main actor' for quite some time during Form 4, but less during Form 5 as Ian Kok took over my role...LOLZ =).

We would always talk about teachers behind their backs ( isn't that what all students do?), especially PAN! No one could ever stand her, and, if i'm not mistaken, she threatened us, if we did not hand in her work, she would minus marks from our exam...MEAN!!! =(

She would also discriminate the weaker students from the strong ones, like "the weaker ones, do Question 1, 2, 3. The strong ones do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on." I mean which teacher does that?! Shouldn't it be the other way around? Enough about accounts, I could go on forever.

In Form 5, there was another teacher who was a menace, but mainly only to Shaun...Pn Christina!!! Too bad I don't have her picture. She was our Chemistry teacher.

When we moved on to Form 5, my grades were getting better, and some pressure was lifted off of me from some subjects. And I sat with Shaun, again, until around mid-year. We would always talk about whats in the news, especially about Bush, if there are any news about him, and about law. Both of us want to be lawyers ( but he's on the fence right now), and always joked about setting up 'Wong and Kang'...or was it 'Kang and Wong' like he always said.



Hock Chin, Lai Hing and Eu Yang are seated around us, and we would always talk, mainly crap, and we would most of the times, 'char' each other as well, but I get most of it as they would always group up and 'char' me...right Eu Yang?!...LOLZ. =). Haiz, good old days.


The guys head turning away is Hock Chin, and you can see part of my head. The guy beside me is Eu Yang...the noisy one, and the one in front of him is Lai Hing...I'm not sure where Shaun is at that time.

I was, and still am, the one to always challenge Hock Chin to a one-on-one badminton match, and he always accepted it. But I was also known as the one to never beat Hock Chin and always boast about beating him...hehe. I'll get you one day...mark my word! =)

Our class, quite often played badminton together, and it was always never fun to lose to Hock Chin in front of them...lolz.

I was always the talkative one, talking about badminton and other crappy stuff. I think ( any Betas, please clarify my statement if required), I was one of the most jovial person in my class, next to Eu Yang (as seen in the picture above). And I can still remember, my signature thing I always did...lolz. I was always the first one to say "Hi !" to anyone in the class or entering, and I would sometimes disturb Hock Chin, and just say "Hi", and he would say, "crap la you", and turn away...lolz. Yup, I have to much time on my hand.

I would seldom get angry ( I think only a couple of times), and when I do, it is usually a big issue and some would say, "Whoa! Justin can get angry"...lolz. =). And I'm seldom very quiet in class, too much to talk about.

My best friend is Shaun Kang. He knows a lot about me( more than any of my other friends), and we would always 'click' when talking about many topics. For the rest of the 5 Beta, I would feel comfortable being around them, as they are great friends.

Like in my current class( PL1), I'm now so so so so quiet. Because, they're, most of the time, not on the same wave line as me. They talk about music, I talk( seldom) about other stuff. I'm just not myself or like how I was in 5 Beta. My attitude and my actions are totally different from when I was studying in Subang Utama. My classmates are nice people, but I'm more comfortable with BETA!! I, most of the time just listen in on their conversation, and give a smile or laugh once in a while if there is anything funny.

I seriously miss 5 Beta, so I actually intend on doing something...its a secret, shhhh.

Even though these 2 years was the roughest time I had ( I had tuition at least 3 hours a day, and my results we're slipping like nobodies business, but regained quite a bit during Form 5), I came out on top a winner, with friends like Shaun, Hock Chin, Ken Hou, Eu Yang, Shien Ken, Lai Hing, Teck Weng, Adeline, Tieng Wei, Yean Ling, Pei Min, Ann Li, Rabiatul, Hazwani and the other 5 Beta students.

This is us







These are just some random pics of me and my class.














I have much more pictures of my class, but I think for the time being, this is alright.

*Maybe i'll use 'Flickr" to post my photos.

This post is to all 5 Betas out there!! Hoped you enjoyed it.

Sports update...i'm a bit slow for this news.

This post may seem a little old, if you have read the newspaper today.



In Formula 1,

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen bagged his first win with the Scuderia team at Melbourne. He led from start to finish without any problems at all. But his team mate, Felipe Massa had to pick his way through 16 cars, when he started from the back of the grid after a 10 position penalty due to an engine change. He had to settle for 6th place, because he didn't have enough time to overtake the Renault of Giancarlo Fisichella, eventhough Massa had a much faster car.



Kimi currently leads the head of the standings followed by the 2 Mclarens of Alonso and Hamilton who finished 2nd and 3rd place respectively.



Mclarens head the constructors championship with 14 points followed by Ferrari with 13 points.

In Badminton,
China, bagged 3 gold medals from the Swiss Open, while another 2 won by Malaysia and Korea.

China's Chen Jin played a class above his opponent, Simon Santoso of Indonesia, and defeated him in 2 straight games.

In the mens doubles, it was another disappointing outing for the World number 2 Danish pair of Jens Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard Hansen. This is their 3rd defeat to Malaysia's hotshots Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong. The Danes were controlling the shuttle most of the time in the 1st game and Koo-Tan couldn't recover.
But in the 2nd game, the Danes were struggling with the speed of the Malaysians, and a rubber set was required. In this last game, the Danes were just no where near the Malaysians speed, net play and fast smashes, and they had to bow down 21-12.

The Malaysian pairing of Koo-Tan are letting known that they are the ones to beat in the world after they dispose the World Champions, Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng in the quarterfinals, legends, Candra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan and now the European Champions, Jens Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard.

Well, what i say is, i dislike them alot after they start to beat all my favourite doubles players consistently. I really hope that some other pair would defeat them because their heads are getting to big, especially Koo Kien Keat.

* Check out The Trattoria for another recipe tomorrow.

Cya

I'm in pain!!!

Okay...it isn't that painful, but it is very irritating. What i'm talking about, is my legs and my right shoulder are aching. Badminton training today, even though not as demanding as last week, got the better of me.

The good thing is, my brother and I are just slightly weaker than the top 5. So it wasn't too bad and, even though, we lost to two of them in doubles(21-14), it was quite close and my shots are getting much much better...watch out Hock Chin!! Lolz.
Another good thing is that I beat my brother 21-19. It may seem too close to tell who is better than the other, but at least i can break his momentum of beating me consistently.

Tonight, there are the semi-final matches of the Swiss Open going on. Its at 9 pm , if i'm not mistaken. Only one Malaysian flag is being beared at this tournament...Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong. You would most likely recognise their names, as they are the winners of the prestigious All-England tournament. They will be going up against the legends, Candra Wijaya-Tony Gunawan tonight. So, don't miss it.

And in Formula 1, the beginning of the season has begun. In qualifying today, Kimi Raikkonen, who is replacing the great Michael Schumacher after his retirement at Ferrari last year, stole pole position from the Mclarens, after Felipe Massa, from Ferrari, had some problems with his car.

The surprise of the day was when the Super Aguri cars were performing extremely well, after a disappointing season last year, and Takuma Sato manage a 10th position on the grid. Lewis Hamilton, of Mclaren, is proving to everyone that he is a force to be reckon with an astounding performance on his debut season.
Tomorrow's race is bound to be an exciting one!

*New update on Trattoria.

FLOOD!!!

Haha!!

Regarding the title above...the badminton court at 3k was flooded!!( okay, maybe i'm exaggerating a little).

the worker had to practically push the water out of the courts and then mop it...lolz.
This is the 1st time i have ever seen such a scene. And i think i'm getting very much better in badminton( OoO...i'm getting very confident).

And today in school, we had an economics test...and it wasn't as hard as the last time( hurray for me!), and it was freaking hot as well. The sun was just insane today!!!* still sweating*...lolz.

Today was probably a bad day for Wei Shiung, coz he lost his ring( rm 15 i tink)
when he bought slurpy...that is an expensive slurpy. And Juna dropped her books and stuff outside the student service onto another platform. We didn't know what to do, until Miss Marguerite came and say ...hurry up before someone sees...lolz. Then Juna climbed over to get her stuff. That was actually sort of hilarious.

After that, they(Serene, Eu Jin and Juna) were going to meet up with Florence and Su Wei( after helping Florence finish washing her clothes). But i went home ledi.
So overall, today was full of ups and downs.

* don't forget to check out my other blog( THIS IS A PROMOTION!!!)

Nothing much

...this post isn't gonna be very long coz i have no idea wat to post other then wats been going on these few days.

This week is gonna be a hectic one, coz there are 2 class test coming up.
One on thursday, which is business studies, and the other one is this friday, which is economics.

*studying...lolz*

Today, classes at taylors have been more interesting lately with some funny bits coming in and out most of the time.

Oh, and one thing, Hee Ian dyed his hair GOLD!!! I think the purple one he used the day before was nicer.

Went to a law lecture about taking up law at Reading University. For those who doesn't know where Reading is, its about 30 minutes drive my London...I tink. The lady who gave the lecture, was from Reading, and it was really interesting. Like Wei Shiung( Mervyn, to my PL1 classmates who are reading) said, westerners have abetter way of speaking, and it never gets boring.

And badminton on thursday at 3k, under the taylors badminton club, is gonna get heated as eu jin, wants to beat hee ian, after losing to him last week. And this is my chance to see what i can do better in my game against hee ian after going for some training.

* don't forget to visit my other blog which i will be posting sumthing on by thursday that has something to do with FOOD!!

New blog...hehe.

Hi guyz...just wanna update you all on a blog i just made specially for, FOOD!!

http://trattoriaitaliano.blogspot.com

I will require some help from a friend who, up till now(i think), has interest in pastries and baking, which i'm not very keen off coz it takes a lot of time.

So enjoy reading

SPM Day (late post...sorry)

Firstly I want to congratulate all the Form 5(2006) students who just got their spm results and to those who did well( for once, Hee Ian lost to someone...BASIL!! Congrats on beating him...hehe, no offence Hee Ian).

*sorry...i messed up a bit about the part where basil beat hee ian.

Me...didn't get what i expected(my trials was so much better than this...not gonna tell you all,who doesn't know, what i got), but overall, I'm quite happy. Got a few consolation prize, such as A1 for accounts(back at you Pn Pan)!

I think i recalled her saying that only 4 people from my class(5 Beta) will get an A in our exam...WRONG!!!! Lolz, that result was so nice...but that wouldn't be the highlight of the day.

My parents were a little disappointed( I think i was more disappointed than them), but they didn't scold me at all...i must be dreaming!!! My father, even said( if i can remember clearly) Good Job!?
Something must have gone wrong...but then he said cz since i'm not doing anything to do with medicine, my sciences need not be great and moral is a stupid subject.

I scored lower than my trials( and a lot of people i knew did too), and i got a compliment...HOW GREAT IS THAT!!! Well, my studies since i left standard 6 has declined( i used to be so good at studies last time...good times...), and i can't compare to any of my siblings or relatives( especially my cousin and brother...yes, if you know me, you must be surprised i'm giving credit to my brother).

My studies maybe average, but i'm good at other stuff outside my textbooks...I see this as a sign, that Hee Ian is not invincible. Basil manage to beat him in SPM, so maybe, I might have a chance(maybe somewhere in the future) of beating him...BADMINTON!!!...*evil laugh*.

And to those who has asked me for recipes...pls be slightly patient as i have a plan on doing something, and if anyone else(or even the same people), would like other recipes..feel free to comment in this post.

* 3/4 recipes that have been requested, require baking...i ain't that good in baking or pastries or pizza for that matter but i have other ideas on how to approach it. Pls ask me something about my forte, which are mainly Italian dishes, but other western dishes, i shall get to it as well.

*And if you have a party going on, i can make you look like a "real" cook with some great party food...*Chef Dominic standing in the background wearing his uniform and light emits from the back*...hehe.

Today's debate was quite interesting.

The law debate finals today was quite interesting, but you could already tell who would win...the proposing team for the topic of debate which was "The use of force to make peace is acceptable".
They are the defending champions but the surprising thing was that the best speaker went to the 2nd speaker of the opposing team.

Side-tracking from the topic... the Americans really don't know how to vote. They voted off 3 great singers from the competition...Sundance, Sabrina and Jared. haiz...so sad.

Astro is gonna show the All-England matches at 1 am!!! Any1 watching? Me and my bro are goin too...with exception only today...hehe. And tomorrow my training to be at the top of the rankings amongst my friends begin. I'm not gonna lose to anyone ANYMORE!!!!! HERE I COME...lolz, over exaggerating.

*Continuing my food tour tomorrow after a long break, and i will take any request from all of you guyz out there about recipes or restaurants and i will post it...share all the good food and places to everyone.~Chef Dominic~

REVIVED!!!

Like a phoenix...I rise up to the occasion, from a great slum after so many bad things hit me in the face. Today's badminton game at 3K, under taylors, was actually a morale booster for me.

A lot of my smashes went through quite well( well that is what i thought...those who played today could you rank my performance today) and my net play and backhand was the way I always wanted it to be.

Eu Jin even played today, and he was fantastic. Well, apart from me being partners in doubles, with Hock Chin, Hee Ian and Wyhow, Eu Jin and i can really cooperate well. And the both of us manage to get a win(21-18) from hee ian and erik!!! Its just an amazing feeling to get a win from hee ian, who is like the top player amongst the usual group i play with.

Today, even though there were a lot of people playing, I think my performance today was one of the best I ever had, and this is really gonna help me with my training, which is gonna be starting this saturday. There are 2 groups in the training, according to seb(my bro), The top 5 and the bottom group(which seb says he's heading this group), and I DO NOT want to lose to any1 younger than me there.

But the only bad thing about today is that, at the All-England tournament, Peter Gade lost in the 1st round of the tournament . He should have gone through and beat Lin Dan later on, which Roslin almost manage to do, and also many of the chinese players seem to be struggling with their 1st round matches, which is a good sign...hehe.

5 Beta Re-union.

Hi to everyone, and especially to all my 5 Beta friends.

The topic above wasn't really my idea to start with. It was actually Adeline's idea( I think she said badminton for this event...don't blame if she didn't say it..its a great idea anyway).
So since the SAM students(majority, of which are doing this program) are having their break next week(unfortunetly, not for a-levels), so maybe it could be held somewhere next week( gotta see those people working part-time whether they're free).

Long time never play badminton with any beta-ians, and i want to get even with some people(don't feel like losing to him anymore...i think you all know who i'm talking about).

So If you could please just reply to this post(just use annonymous and type your name down), to say that you agree.

Regarding why i'm not sms-ing you guyz about this thing, is because(if you have read my earlier post) i lost my handphone, so no contacts inside. So could you all(those who have my number) sms me your name and handphone number.

Thanks alot.

*I may not be posting very often in this blog throughout the week cause got class tests going on. Just finish law test. It was crazy cause we are only given 1 hour for 2 essays, each of it are 25 marks, so its about 1 minute for 1 mark...INSANE!!

And good luck to everyone this monday, i'll be there around 9.30 or 10.=)
I suggest don't go alone to collect, cause a certain someone maybe there waiting to CHAR(by using this word, i presume you all know who is it i'm talking about) you about your results.

New site i just added.

This is just an announcement about a new site i just posted on my side bar.

Its called club penguin. Its actually a kids game, but its also quite entertaining when you are waiting for stuff to load on the internet. The games are always a sure win kind if you know how to play, because your challengers are mainly kidz...of course.

So enjoy playin, like i have...hehe.
*My cousin, in primary school influenced me to play...=)

10th Day anniversary.

Today marks the 10th day anniversary Leia has left us. Our daily lives have almost returned to normal. I say almost because without the sound of Leia's bark or presence, it will never be the same again without her. Rest In Peace.

A law debate on friday was held at room DR-2. Went to see it with some of my classmates and shaun(who is my former classmate and my best friend, wonder...). It was quite interesting, and you could already tell who was the winner even before the results came out as the opposition team was the more outspoken ones. The topic for the debate was "There is no justice without retribution". The finals will be held next friday same time, same place. I think it will be more interesting, and i wonder whether my classmates would want to see it again.

Tomorrow is Chap Goh Mei, so i wish all hokkiens( hokkiens are the ones that celebrate it right? sorry if i get it wrong..i'm not a hokkien) happy celebrating!

The German Open(badminton) is still going on, and there aren't anymore Malaysians left in the running for this title. Lin Dan is most likely to win this title for the men's singles.

*sorry, but still no mood to talk about food just yet, but i'm trying to come up with a new recipe for a dish and trying to combine it with a few things. sorry for any inconvenience. hehe
