yoZ.. brought my sister along to Cashew Heights where i met Yanjun for table tennis.. we were supposed to play squash at New Pioneers in the afternoon but she felt quite tired & wasn't in the mood to over-exert.. Jason also didn't feel like going so i ended up asking Yanjun to play table tennis.. brought my sister along to humour her.. my sister is cute isn't she? if only i can stop her from becoming a potentially irritating chatterbox.. when i'm out with her i usually have no chance to talk coz she'll do all the talking.. incessant noise.. i can't help wondering how come she's got so much energy.. well i guess kids are really kids man.. they ask so many questions.. after being so hyperactive she's already sound asleep while i'm still blogging.. hehe.. okie gtg sleep soon.. tataZ~

yoZ.. a relatively busy week just passed.. met tian cai on thursday evening at Adam Road Food Centre (the place near Serene Centre) for dinner.. we had nasi lemak & ice-jelly for dinner.. so appetizing! then watched the Newcastle vs Birmingham match at his house.. i managed to burn a cd containing 8 of my favourite saxophone pieces using his burner! and his computer is soooooo fast! more than 10 times faster than mine i think.. *sigh* mine's already so outdated.. dunno when i'm going to buy a new one..

woke up quite early this morning.. played table tennis with yanjun.. quite fun.. she actually knew how to play quite well.. went to queensway after that for lunch & shopped after that.. she finally bought a new pair of Adidas court shoes.. i spotted new Dunlop squash rackets for sale! they looked so cool i'm gonna get one soon.. went to train squash alone.. mastered a new skill today! my backhand volley smash's getting more powerful & accurate.. hee~

met 2 of my pri school friends for late dinner at 9pm at a hawker centre near my place.. haven't seen them for so long! tmr we've agreed to watch AC Milan vs Celtic at one of the guy's place in the morning before going swimming.. okie gtg zZz.. niteZ

tian cai -- hopefully we can go to tioman's place tmr night.. must find the extra guy to play bridge
yanjun -- u finally bought your precious shoes.. must treasure them k.. they look so nice =)

yoZ.. i don't remember having a Sunday that's as memorable & happening as today.. turned down qubee's invitation for field soccer at chinese high in the morning coz it rained quite heavily the night before.. didn't wish to get myself muddy early morning.. coincidentally tioman organised basketball at our alma mater at 11 in the morning.. tian cai & his clan would be going too so i happily set off to meet them.. i was the first to reach school shortly followed by tian cai & his bro then eddie.. tioman made everyone wait for him till 12.30! by that time we had already thought of how to "tekan" him.. Yes! Lunch on him! organiser yet the last to turn up.. we wrapped up the last game around 2 o'clock.. only 3 of us proceeded to bukit timah market for lunch.. tioman, tian cai & me coz the rest didn't want to come.. 3 of us were so famished.. i really missed the good food there.. and that was a free lunch.. more to come later! we left tioman who was waiting for his mum to fetch him home & we went to cashew heights..

*sidetrack abit* saw Weijia alight from 157 at shells after lunch.. was so surprised to see her but we couldn't talk for long coz the 171 i wanted to take was right behind..

met Yanjun & Jason for basketball again.. tian cai's brother also made his own way there after he went home for lunch.. hee~ got to know a new basketball friend Keith (who also lives at cashew heights) & his gf Gywen.. they are really nice pple.. Jason's brother, Jonathan, celebrated his 18th birthday today in advance (actual birthday's on 22nd).. he had invited his friends & us to a bbq party at the poolside.. yup free bbq dinner after basketball!! =)

there were 2 distinct groups.. one small group of young adults (Jason, Yanjun, Keith, Gywen, Lingjun & his brother & me) and the other (Jonathan's big group of teenage friends).. our group played cards for a while and then chatted for very long.. different frequency from Jon's friends who were bustling with adrenaline i guess.. i feel i'm already getting old.. heh.. but all in all it was a memorable gathering which ended sooner than expected coz the next day would be a working day..

weijia -- long time no see! hope u are doing fine gal, sorry couldn't chat longer with u maybe we can meet up next time? take care~

yoZ.. what a fine afternoon i had today.. went down with yanjun to SMU.. there were alot of new faces.. all the courts were occupied when we reached there & we had to wait quite a while before any of us got a game.. I played with this uncle called KY.. i got thrashed by him the last time we played.. he's a very good player even Fam lost to him.. but i managed to win him today! i was in very good form.. one amazing thing i discovered today: i could whack the squash ball consistently fast & hard even though it was the 5th set.. my arm strength & endurance had improved tremendously..
well i won't say yanjun's got an enjoyable game.. but she definitely looked as if she was running a marathon.. she complained she was so exhausted on our way home.. lucky i bought her favourite fruitree apple & aloe vera juice.. replenished some energy & refreshed her..

yanjun -- better rest early gal~ treat yourself to some precious sleep =)

now listening to : Still by Brian McKnight
yoZ.. it has been nearly a month since i last blogged.. somehow i always don't have time.. my friends say i'm probably too lazy to blog even when i have time.. that's quite true.. usually when i get back from camp or squash trg my eyes will find it too painful to face the computer screen for so long.. and when i have spare time i'll rather play sports, listen to music, read books or just stone around.. but hey i'm not such a playful guy K.. i do housework and cook at home often.. anyway i've always liked exercising my brains in the squash courts or basketball courts.. displaying my brilliant bodily-kinesthetic intelligence! That's me.. =) enough of self-indulgence for today..
My life's been so eventful lately.. many things just happen too quickly.. like the scenes in "2 Fast 2 Furious" which i caught last week.. i'm hoping i'll get used to it soon.. i need time to stone, to reflect upon all the happenings.. I need time to be alone..
Yup.. i'll be going down to SMU to play squash again later.. Must enjoy myself today!

suyi -- thanks for the birthday present..
tian cai -- tmr play basketball again at cashew heights k? Jason's brother got bbq birthday party there tmr.. can go join them for dinner after bball!

yoZ.. went out to play Magic in the morning with a friend yesterday.. Spent the whole afternoon downloading an antivirus software to clean my corrupted hard disk! it's so irritating & luckily i got it fixed.. Had a short nap then went out to Kallang for my match.. My opponent was an ex-national junior called Teng Kuan.. happened to be Joel's good friend.. He just came back from the States like Allan & he just completed his 2nd year in Princeton.. The world is so small man.. he knows Allan & Serene (both were from hc).. i lost my match but i took 1 set from him & i'm quite happy =) He's really good.. I foresee I should be able to reach his standard some day in the near future.. Hehe~ Darrell won & he'll be playing Dermadi the next game.. haha.. So sad! He'll kena thrashed for sure.. But wish him good luck anyway.. Went for a late dinner with Darrell at Orchard after staying so late at Kallang.. Didn't manage to pass the reference books to Suyi coz it was too late.. Hope i'll get something from the Losers' Plate event today! gtg meet Lj for basketball soon... tataZ

Friday, June 20, 2003

yoZ.. hello everyone.. oh do u all miss me? =) Glad to be blogging again.. I last touched Blogger a couple of weeks ago.. Had a really fun day today! Darrell & me had wanted to train for squash & play badminton at Yio Chu Kang in the afternoon.. when Jennifer suggested playing pool instead, we turned her down.. Then i changed my mind coz i think she could be too tired after kayaking yesterday & that we guys needed a good rest for tmr's match at Kallang.. saw Allan online in the morning & asked him out to join us for pool at Monster Cue (e one at Meridien) at 2pm.. I didn't know he was already back from the States.. Nice meeting up with him =) He's another old friend who plays basketball! "Boi, your hair abit long eh.." Had dinner with him at PS.. This poor guy had been deprived of good food for so long.. He had been craving for laksa since a few months ago.. We parted after dinner.. He headed to Bedok for some wushu thingie & I went home.. Sort of a relaxing day for me.. now i'm searching for the song "Unbreak my Heart" online coz i heard it while playing pool.. tataZ

Sunday, June 08, 2003

yoZ... this must be my slackest day of the week... slept till 10.30am in the morning... woke up just in time to catch Jackie Chan Adventures, Justice League & Pokemon with my sister... after which i lazed around & listened to FM93.3 for the week's top 20 songs... now listening to FM92.4... having a squash match later in the evening... hope I can win today... like i won yesterday... The winner gets about 150 bucks! I'll hope it comes home after so much dedication to squash...

Thursday, June 05, 2003

yoZ... went Yio Chu Kang to play squash again in the afternoon... Chuanlu came today... the 2 girls were abit late... Darrell was the earliest... Lucky he came & booked the court earlier... those Monfort pple nearly took every court available for trg... so nice of the girls to come down again to have a workout... realised I admire girls who exercise & keep their adrenaline going... hehe... Anyway went back to hwa chong & got the Soiree tix from Suyi... then waited for Yanjun to pick the poncho i was lending her for the trip to Kinabalu... was surprised to see Wanjun at the LRT station... she seemed troubled by school work... think she's a gal who likes to have so much fun that maybe she won't enjoy studying... well if u can just keep ur concentration going gal... you can definitely do well for ur A's... it's all about working HARD if u have been too soft... haha.. oh and late at night i had to meet Rongyao at Lot1 to pass him something my CSM needed... he was complaining that OC won't let him attach out for safsa dragon boat trg... hope eventually he will get his attachment like me & break free from the monotonous army life... oh and i remembered to get the 2 gals' hp no. today.. hehe

Tuesday, June 03, 2003

yoZ...went to Yio Chu Kang to play squash in the afternoon... Darrell suggested playing there coz it's nearer his house (in Thomson)... I had to travel so far! Then he invited 2 of his AJ juniors along... Jennifer & Meiying... Meiying seems more familiar & it's the first time I've seen Jennifer... They are waiting to go into Uni that's why they are so free on a Tuesday afternoon... Jennifer looks cute & she's so extremely polite... then Meiying got tt bo-chup attitude... haha...not bad knowing two more friends... the gals are playing for Allan at SCC... so would probably see them more often if i'm still active in the squash arena next year... Went to Junction 8 after squash with the gals... Had a drink at Orange Julius and ended up loitering for a while... nothing better to do so went home... took the same bus as Meiying... and how could i have forgotten to ask for their numbers? well i dunno why i'm so blurZ... hehe.. nevermind maybe ask them another time... was so tired when i reached home...

Sunday, June 01, 2003

yoZ...yesterday was a tiring but fun day! overslept in the morning coz it just had to rain in the wee hours... while those squash juniors must still travel in the rain to Kallang while i was still enjoying my sleep... reached Kallang at about 10.30am... saw the last game being played... hwa chong had already lost even before i reached the place... but at least they still showed commendable fighting spirit... heard that Yixin lost... hope she didn't feel too upset... i'm sure she tried hard! she lost her tie last year too but that time she was playing with a back injury... why must she always be on the losing side... so unfair! actually it's not fair for her to shoulder all the blame for losing... coz the loser could have easily been anyone else in the team... anyway hope next year they'll get it back! i would have felt quite out of place there if not for coach's presence... had wanted to watch the A grade finals at 2pm when coach would be playing but i came earlier instead to witness the hwa chong team win... The 'Mens' A grade finals was of a different class... it was exhilarating, pulsating & really entertaining... the best match was between Mubashir & Udai Singh... they demonstrated that squash is a NEVER SAY DIE game... Safsa came home with no prizes or trophies this season... felt we didn't deserve to end empty-handed... we got penalised for fielding Darrell, who had improved so much this season, in the last game against New Pioneers... it was a harsh decision against the team coz that cost us the 3rd place and there goes the medals... Next year if i'm the captain i'll make sure we do our best & win the honours that we ought to deserve... Everything ended at about 6.30pm... Was on my way home then unexpectedly LJ called... my buddy will always be my buddy... hee~ i didn't feel like going home straight and he suggested playing billard at MechMaster... i immediately hopped onto a 171 at Orchard and called OEC to meet us there too... We had an enjoyable time there... after which we went off for supper as I was quite famished... LJ would be doing guard duty tmr so we left quite early... realized i haven't been blogging for so many days... i only blogged 3 times last month... haha... yet there are still so many faithful friends who visit my blog daily... i really appreciate u guys... well perhaps waiting for this day? This could be the day i start opening my thoughts again... =)

Sunday, May 18, 2003

yoZ...finally i'm back to blogging! Today's a fine day... had a good sleep last night... met Yj & Lj for basketball... it was quite exciting to play against those kids... fun bullying those kids... rejected them so many times... haha! taught them a good shooting lesson on basketball... went to BPP for dinner with Lj.. the Yong Tau Foo was really nice... any 6 pieces + noodles costs only $3.20 and each additional piece costs $0.40... Lj paid 6 bucks for his extremely large bowl... while i paid only 4 bucks coz i chose only 8 pieces... can't imagine he chose so many pieces - 13... and they usually cut them into smaller pieces... like 1 fishball they cut into 2 halves... one tau pok they also cut into 2 halves... haha so Lj got 26 pieces of ingredients... neva knew he's so greedy... he was complaining he wasn't v hungry yet he took so many pieces... in the end he was so bloated... haha! then he missed 171 at the bus stop and i managed to psyco him to take 184 from the interchange with me... well he would be paying slightly more for taking 2 buses but at most it's only the cost of 1 fishball man! haha... he still insisted that taking 171 is cheaper but i kept suaning abt that fishball... haha... too greedy liaoz see! okie gtg zZz... niteZ

Saturday, May 03, 2003

yoZ...woke up so early today & the bad weather in the morning wrecked my plans... supposed to have squash training at Cashew Heights in the morning then play basketball with tian cai... Jason told me last minute that the courts were indeed closed and unbookable for the time being...well I thought Chuanlu could still come over for basketball then allafa sudden it started pouring heavily...so guess what? ended up playing squash at the CC with Chuanlu from 10.30am to 12.30pm while the rain never stopped...
then went for a hair cut near my place...got home & went out again... supposed to meet Suyi at hwa chong at 2.30pm but i was late for like an hour... she had wanted me to tutor her some chem stuff (but the topic turned out to be one tt wasn't in my syllabus during my time)... when i reached hwa chong i was slightly disturbed at seeing all the closed side gates... had to walk a big round to enter from the carpark to the class bench when there were like so still many pple in school! why weren't the gates opened? freaking made me walk one big round... anyway Suyi seems more cheerful now than last time... she's changed for the better... the class bench was too noisy for any discussion (coz lion dance pple trg) so i suggested we go chinese high... met Ying Feng unexpectedly near the basketball courts... apparently he saw Suyi & tried to pass some funny comments abt us... haha~ no use suaning my mei²... went through her chem tutorial on NMR... something i didn't even know... yet i managed to figure out how to solve her problems... went home at around 6pm... the weather after the morning rain seems much better... so cooling & cloudy... i had been listening to FM92.4 whole day on my mini portable radio... i like classical music! heh...okie it's getting late gtg niteZ

Friday, May 02, 2003

helloZ... Yay~ I'm finally blogging again... I'm so glad... The past week's full of surprises man...
I had fever on Sunday night...so horrible! woke up every hour of the night breaking into cold sweat...virtually didn't sleep... felt better on Monday & i was supposed to book in camp by 2359 coz there was military exercise on Tuesday but my mum brought me to see doctor... she was afraid i haven't recovered well to be able to take the physical stress... and that how i got 2 days MC... the doctor said i haven't recovered fully... booked in on Wednesday morning and went outfield straightaway... but exercise was going to cut soon and my madam was so kind enough to let me off early to prepare for my squash competition in the evening... oh i forgot to mention something... i met Wanjun on the LRT when i was going to camp on that Wednesday morning! had a nice chat with her... haven't seen her for so long... i felt so happy after seeing her... meeting her probably lifted my original dampened mood while booking in camp on such an odd day... I still have this wonderful feeling even today... haha... meeting her was lucky coz she said she usually ain't as late... and as lucky as meeting her i won my squash match in the evening even after a 2 weeks lay-off... i may have gotten some kinda *Lucky Charm* =) Had full day trg today... managed to catch the last episode of 'xi you ji hou zhuan' on Channel 8 this evening... it was such a happy and good ending... if everything in the world would end happily that would be so nice... okie gtg zZz niteZ

yoZ... Yay~ My foot has healed 99.9%! I'm so glad i went to see doctor in time otherwise i don't think i can recover so fast... My mum fell sick... got into some sort of depression... dunno what's wrong with her... she don't like seeing me in front of the computer coz she's complaining the radiation from the monitor is too harmful... I shall try to please her by not touching the computer for the next couple of days... So that means no blogging... So sorry pple =) I'll try to make up for it once I can come online again...tataZ

Thursday, April 24, 2003

yoZ...i'm really amazed at the rate my foot is healing...think it'll be very soon when i can start enjoying sports again! Yay~ I have been feeling like a handicapped person for the past week... Poor thing rite? But slacking days will be gone soon... Went to Orchid Park Condo in the evening... Our F-grade squash match was against UCSC... Chalked up another well deserved win after we fielded our reserve team players... I didn't want to play coz I didn't want to hinder the full recovery of my foot... discovered that Ryan came despite having a fever... told him I won't risk playing him on the spot although he kept saying he would be alright... end up our team's top 2 seeds (me & Ryan) didn't play... but we still won them 3-1... Zhenghong lost his tie against a Caucasian named Jerome... That bald & cool headed opponent was surprisingly deceptive and tricky... Zhenghong couldn't handle him and made too many unforced errors... One interesting point was that Jerome's girlfriend or probably wife was there supporting him... heh... u all knew I was gonna say his gf is v chio rite? haha... she was standing just beside me throughout the whole game... and guess what she's a Singaporean Chinese who prefers to speak English... chio bu always attracts my attention... that's not the point i'm emphasising but it's the first time one initiated a pleasant conversation with me... Anyway she left a good impression on my mind when she left... Got a lift from Darrell to Thomson where I took bus home... His dad was driving in pyjamas! haha... Spent a long time to wash my wound when i got home... sickening but i have no choice...okie gtg tataZ

Tuesday, April 22, 2003

yoZ...went to CCK Polyclinic this morning to see doctor... I was amazed i managed to hobble my way there... the place wasn't as crowded as it should be on normal Mondays perhaps becoz of SARS... fewer pple would want to associate themselves with hospitals and clinics...Anyway had a undergo a SARS screening before entering the premises... was normal as expected coz i didn't have fever... I came to see doctor abt my foot! got one day MC and some medication (hopefully they are useful)... Went home and changed then i booked in camp to settle some important stuff... got my MO to endorse my MC and got my off pass signed... I won't need to go back to camp for the rest of the week! Yay... that's good coz i'll have plenty of time to rest my foot... Went to Kallang in the evening coz there was E grade squash match against Chinese Swimming Club... We won quite convincingly...and everyone put in commendable effort today... that's the great team spirit and concentration! Shared cab with Ryan, who was on his way back to his camp...and i forgot to chip in the cab fare... *Oops*... Will pay back the next time =) okie gtg niteyniteZ

Saturday, April 19, 2003

yoZ...I was quarantined at home again...this time I did it to myself...to curb me from certain desires that could lead to aggravating my foot injury... Slacked the whole day! what a "wonderful" way to spend a bright Saturday... Think my foot is just beginning to heal... the skin is beginning to harden but occasionally it'll be painful... *Ouch* accidentally kicked against the foot of the computer table... Tomorrow I'll stay at home again... don't think i'll go out coz i am determined to rest my foot! okie gtg...no long stories to crap...tataZ
