Last post of 2007!!

2007 has come and gone. Just like that, another year has past.

It was Ferrari's year, Kimi Raikkonen's year and so many more others.

Here's an acapella group that I love, to end the year!!



I have goosebumps when I hear this one.^^


From MJ's famous song.

Sunday and Monday

I have no idea on what better title to put for this post =)

I think this title is all that is needed.

Sunday

My father was in Singapore, my sister went out for choir so we, as in my mother, my brother and I, went to Subang Parade for dinner. As usual, my brother suggested Manhattan Fish Market. I had no objection, so we went there for dinner.

About a couple of minutes after being seated, I saw a familiar face. Han Wei of 5 Omega was working there, and he was wearing a santa hat XD. Then as I turned to look at the kitchen, someone was standing there and smiling and waving at me. TECK WENG!!! Lolx, he was working there as well. He served us our drinks and dinner. Never seen this polite side of him, so much...lols. And if you're reading...hehe.

This was the only thing I wanted to say for "Sunday", so lets fast forward time to Monday. XD

Monday

Today is my Undang test at SS15. Dominic was supposed to join me, but he called late so he could only get to sit for his test on Wednesday. I reached there at 12, and there were a hell lot of people there. I saw 3 familiar faces, 2 of which were my standard 3 classmates and the other 1 was Navin from SU. SUs somehow can get along outside SU...lol. He was there since 9.15 in the morning. So he has waited quite a bit already.

I waited until like 3 before I could get my photo taken. But by 3.30, there was a problem with the system, and the only thing everyone could do was wait. At this time, it was one guy's turn. He had been there since morning, even earlier than Navin.He was already seated on the chair at the counter to get all the thumbprint and stuff, when the woman said that the system is down.

Andrew Chu came to see Navin, and the 3 of us were seating on a sofa, yes there was a sofa there. =)

We waited until almost 6, when the attendant called out the name of the guy earlier on. He got up from the chair, and went on into the room where the computers were. The system was back, weee!! XD

One by one, everyone went in, then my turn came. After answering all the questions, I did not fully want to know what my marks were, and I reluctantly press the "Keputusan" button. LULUS!!!! 43/50. lol. The passing mark is 42/50, so yeah I just scrapped through...hehe.

Went out, collected my printed result from the counter and I went home. =)

*Too lazy to put up the details of what happen there during the 6 hours I was there. Really funny fat lady was there...lolx. Cya.

Undang class at Metro.

Today, Dominic and I went to Metro to sit, and listen, for about 5 hours of talk from a guy about all the driving stuff. It was ok, not as boring as everyone say it is, maybe because its the guy giving the talk, that wasn't boring.

Anyway, there were 8 of us altogether, and when we arrived at Metro, there were a hell lot of people queing up either to register or get their Metro cards. We waited for about an hour just to get our cards.

We somehow split ourselves into 2 lines, guys and girls. The girls' line was so much faster than ours, but when they reach the counter, there was some kind of problem, and Dom and I heard something about receipt. Dom was slightly worried because he didn't bring his receipt, I had mine with me. So the girls called the instructor's wife, Pn Normah, and then they waited by the side for her.

When she arrived, she had a quick talk with the woman behind the counter, and we heard, "Ok-lah, mereka sudah panggil En Razak, pergi line-up sekarang la".

LOL!!

Those girls had to line up again. So, after sometime, when we all had gotten our cards, we had to go through door 1, then door 2, just to go for the eye test.

I thought it was going to take sometime, didn't think it was just a few questions on the computer. It took me about 1 minute to finish.

Then of we headed to the 'lecture". The first room was full, so we waited for the next room to fill up before we could get started with it. After finishing at at about 4, we headed back to the counter to get our CDs, I haven't checked what's inside, and then headed home.

It was ok I guess. =)

This Wednesday maybe going to watch a movie with Eu Jin and Dom. =)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND MERRY X'MAS!!!

I lost...

It was a HORRIBLE day of badminton for me, and if I have ever said that other days were bad, this tops the list( or at the bottom of it).

PLayed with Boo and EuJin today, and everything totally went wrong for me. Boo hasn't played in 3 years (or so he says), yet I lost 21-18. I couldn't run for the shuttles...I was like stuck, my legs wouldn't move.

At least Eu Jin didn't beat Boo either...hehe.

Then, saw Ken Yeap ( I think that's how its spelt) and Khe Chun and another guy. Ken Yeap asked where Hock Chin was, I answered "studying", short and simple...lol.

You see Hock Chin, people so caring ask about you, but you always busy and cannot play badminton...lol

Then Ken Yeap said that one of his friend is late, so he ask me to play. At first I declined, but later he asked again, and I accepted.

I partnered Boo, while Khe Chun partnered Ken Yeap. WE got thrashed 21-9 ( or was it 21-8)...haiz.

The only good thing was that I smashed a shuttle so powerful ( at my level la), that Ken Yeap couldn't retrieve it back...^_^

Still, it was a 100 % loss for me for the first time ever in my life.

I hope I can do better next time, and I am quite confident that I will be able to defeat Boo...and maybe Ken Yeap and Khe Chun, if my partner is Hock Chin...LOL. =)

*When is 5 Beta badminton and reunion?

Too long have I been away from...

GUESS!! GUESS!!

Lol, what do you think I was going to write? =)

I haven't been to training in a long while now, and returning to this weekly routine, I didn't expect to maintain standard with the others. Did 4 corners (3 set), left to right smashing (2 set), and left to right net (2 set).

Doesn't sound a lot right...hehe, here comes the twist. I had to do this consecutively and Daryl( I think that's how his name is spelt) picked up 26 shuttles one go!! So, times that up, 26 x 7=__.
I don't take maths, but even I know that adds up to like a zillion shuttles...XD.

It exhausted me, and I had to rest for like half an hour to 45 minutes, before I could play again. It takes a toll on your body.

Lol, and Mike ( the guy who is in charge of the training) wasn't even there to train us. He left the work to Daryl and Gina (dunno how 2 spell his full name), and went home to watch the Hong Kong Open Finals...lol. But too bad that one court was used by a church group, so the use of 1 less court limited our playing time.

Oh yeah, and in WolfTeam,

I FINALLY BROKE INTO THE TOP 1000 RANK!!. HEHE

I am now ranked 992 in the world, yea yea, I know its not very good, and my brother is world number 24 and all, but at least my rank isn't a 4 digit number anymore...lol. I must now try to break into the top 500...ASAP, if not I'll get left behind...even further. XD

I did my best...

Haiz...the go-kart competition this morning, was a total disaster. In the final shootout, only managed to finish 8th place. =(

At around 8.30 am, we all registered and signed some forms. There were 24 contestants in the junior category, so we were divided into two groups, and 12 in the senior. The first group was those who had driven a go-kart before, and the second group was those that haven't. My cousin, my brother and I were in the first group, along with 9 others. There were a few strong drivers there, but our chances of winning was still good.

At around 9 am, we were given 8 minutes to drive out and familiarise ourselves with the track and car. After coming back, we checked our time, and mine wasn't all that good, 1 minute and 44 seconds. I was second last in the group. My cousin and brother were much faster than I was, and they were lapping in the 1 minute twenties. So I had to find some areas where I could go faster.

After the 2nd group did their practice, it was our turn to go for qualifying. I managed to go faster, but only managed 9th fastest with a 1 minute 26 second lap. My brother and cousin were most likely to be safe to go through to the final shootout of the top 12 fastest people. I could only hope that the most, only 3 people would beat my time and not 4.

And after the 2nd group's qualifying, I was the 12th fastest overall. Phew, that would mean that I will start on the last row of the grid, but at least I qualified.

Then we had a break, because it was the adults turn for their practice and qualifying. After that, Show Time!!

We did a rolling start, and when the green flag was shown, the race was on. I managed to pass 2 people at the first corner, and then another after the straight. My brother had somehow spun , and his engine died, and it took a while before the workers came to start his engine, tough luck, but he was the 6th fastest out of the 12.

Then, after I saw another hit the barrier, I was in a higher position again. Then as the second lap started, there was a three-way collision, and one of them was my cousin. I went onto the grass to avoid them. Now I was up to fifth place. But then, disaster struck. My brakes had a problem. We weren't using the same cars that we used during practice and qualifying.

So, all my braking points had to change, and I even had to slow down my car further, before I could make a corner. And, when I forgot that I was in a different car, I braked to late, and my car spun. I was facing the opposite direction, and I saw three cars. One of them was my cousin. They overtook me 1 by 1, and I knew that I had to push harder to recover.

Later the brake failed me again, and I spun at the hairpin. After that, and a few more other spins, I only managed to finish 8th position. We came back to the building, and all three of us were complaining. My brother was the unluckiest, because his engine died, and it took sometime before someone came to restart it. He finished last after qualifying 9th. My cousin's car was the car that my brother used during practice and qualifying, and the problem with the car was that it could not accelerate as fast as other cars could, and was confirmed later by one other adult who used it, and my problem was the brakes. Unlucky day for the Wong family...lol.

After that, we had McDonalds for lunch, they announced the winner, and we went home. The only consolation I got was that I finished higher than 12th place. =)

Lets see what the three of us can do next year.

Go-kart, Badminton and WolfTeam!!

I had no idea on what to put as my title for this post, so I might as well write the 3 topic's I'll be posting about this time.

Lets start with Go-kart...hehe.
This Sunday, I will be going karting at a circuit, somewhere far, which I haven't been to at all. This event is organised by Saujana GCC and is the second year running. I didn't manage to go for the first one, last year, because of SPM. Hopefully I can do well in the race, and maybe take home a trophy...hehe. *praying*

Now its badminton.
Will be playing on Monday with PB2 and PL1...can't really say PB2 and PL1, because only 4 people going; Eu Jin, Boo, Yvonne and myself. After college from 4-6pm at Jayasquare. Wyhow said that he will be there from 3-5pm with his classmates, so see you there Wyhow. =)

Also, playing on Thursday with Hee Ian and others. Haiz...sure Ken Hon and Hee Ian will bully all the others. 4-6pm at Jayasquare as well.

Then, I'll be playing yet again at Jayasquare on Saturday, 1st December with 5 Beta. Have yet to send out invitations, but with Shaun's agreement, will be inviting Hock Chin, Eu Yang, Teck Weng, Ken Hou, Shein Ken and Lai Hing. Including Shaun and myself, total playing should be 8 people. So if anyone whose name is mentioned, please give me an answer ASAP. =)

As for WolfTeam,
Hee Ian say its not a nice game, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!! It's one hell of a game!! Online First Person Shooter Rox!! If any of you are already playing, you can add me to your buddy list. My IGN is Axedus. Here's a video for you all to watch.
