Wow... Just came back from City Hall. I just went there to enjoy the whole fireworks display. Its uite nice after all. You get to hear the loud 'pop' sound and the dozens of beautiful lights spreading around in the sky. From a small bright glow to a beauitful 'spider web'... Sort of...I dont know what I'm describing but its impossible for me to tell you people how I feel... haha... However, I miss the last few moments of the whole fireworks. We thought its over but hasnt. I didnt get to take the last picture, that is extremely beauitful... YIKES!!!! Nevermind, I will be there again either next week, or during national Day. By the way, Chris and Yun Ting want to stay overnight at Marina. I really hope that I can be there... hehe...

Well, the O Levels english Oral Examination is coming. Mine is on the 23rd of Agust. This time, I am going to buck up my English. I cant afford to lose everything by failing my English, rite??!!! Anyway, I wil try to aim high. So, lets hope everything is alright... haha...

The band is trying to get involve in the School's NDP. I hope that everything goes well on that day. I just went to see how the ABnd practise. Well...e rm... the whole situation is very chaotic. The marching was terrible. The turning was horrible.. And the Sec 1s were marching like... vegetables... Haix... Lets pray hard everyone.. The Band will do well on that day.. Its a MUST and not a Maybe... YeaH!!!! COME ON BAND MEMBERS!!! THE SENIORS ARE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU!!! DONT EVER GIVE UP!!!

Saturaday was a great day. I got to play soccer, not just with Alex, Sion, Hakim, Eugene and Jimmy. We got to play with a 5 sided game. Its definitely a good game. I'm the first who scored in the game. actually I'm not the one but its eugene. A cross by Jimmy and I got the ball. However, my foot wonly tap onto the ball and it rolled towrads Eugene. Eugene tap the ball with the wrong direction with his foot. The ball slowly rolled into the post. 1 - 0. You can see th shocking face of Eugene. he must be thinking, what the hack does did he do? he actually wanted to stop the ball but its too late.

However, the match tensed up as I was put as the goalkeeper in the game. I did try my best to save the shots but still, make the score levelled. I was sub off by another person, which I'm willing to do so. I'm quite sick and tired of being a goalkeeper and I dont really mind giving my place to another person. That was the start of the turning point in the match. Both teams are quite sucky as they didnt score. i kept thinking that I'm the only one who can change the whole score. Just then, I sub Hakim to take over the goalkeeping area. I did try my best but still, making my previous team on the lead. Hakim came back and I'm now in the match, actively running.

Well, thats it. I got the ball and tried to score. However, tragic started. I somehow fractured my bone, my ankle. There's a crack and its so painful that I can hardly walk. It started with a the ball in the mid air, with my opponent and me, aiming and the ball. at this moment, both of us wanted to volley the ball. We did volley but at the same time. I'm the more weaker player, thus I got injured first... haha... Why? That person is quite well-built, no choice. Anyway, this made me more determine to score. I scored the goal to level the game, with a small volley, considered a tap-in, into the right corner of teh post. That's Strike One!!!

Then, the second goal came, using the same method, and shot into the post, the same area again. Strike Two!!! Now its great. here comes Strike Three, where its my first hhat-trick in such a long match. still, I could lividly remember that eugene crossed the abll towards me and I gave the ball a soft tap-in, into the post. HAT-TRICK!!! IT'S A HAT-TRICK!!! Eugene scored 6 goals, Alex socred 2 and me, 3. Overall, its about 12 goals against 6. We won the match. I cant walk properly right now, as the pain is still there. I will try to bear with it. Haix...

Anyway, last Friday was a good day, I celebrated my Mom's birthday. Thats cool. We really enjoy the buffet even if the place is extremly hot. Well, Mom, happy birthday... hehe... That's all now, I will try to score more goals, making sure to be a good player. Also, if someone knows where there is cheap digital cameras, tell me, I'm quite interested in photograhy currently. To snap the best shots in soccer... Yea...!!!!

Hi people... I declare that the past two weeks results of we, Singapore Sambas, againist the CCC -> China Construction Confederation. Both occasions have taken place, considered as the most anticipating match. It might be another version of Sinchi vs. Young Lions but its not. Its a street soccer battle between the Sambas and CCC.

Results:

1st match -> 9th July 2005

Sambas 5 : CCC 1

Sambas scorers: Alex (2), Eugene (2), Jimmy

2nd match -> 16th July 2005

Sambas 7 : CCC 5

Sambas: Wei Teck, Jimmy (2), Eugene (2), Hakim, Jack

Review on 2nd match...

The game started with a bang after wei teck got the ball, dribbled past the defender and placed his shot. The shot was blocked by the keeper but was unable to clutch the ball safetly with his hands, causing Wei Teck to smash it once again into the post, under the legs of the keeper. [ 1 - 0 for Sambas!!! ]

However, CCC equalised in the game as they shot into Sambas goal post, with rookie keeper, Gavin, unable to dive in time to catch hold of the ball. A terrific strike by the CCC player, into the right side of the post to grab the win. [ 1 - 1 for CCC!!! ]

CCC fought back this time, giving the lead after their player striked the ball once again to the right side of the post. This time, Gavin did try to save the ball but the force was too much for him to handle, causing the ball to roll into the post. You can see the startled face of Gavin after CCC had lead. [ 1 - 2 for CCC!!! ]

Luck was not on the Sambas side as CCC strikes again with another goal. This time, a long range from the CCC players and the ball goes into the net harmlessly. It was actually a foul as one of the CCC players had blocked the keeper's view. However, there is no referee to handle this match, causing the goal to be counted. Is this the end of the Sambas? is this the revenge the CCC is giving to the Sambas, afte their first match with each other?? [ 1 - 3 for CCC!!! ]

The spirits were fading in the Sambas but a goal from Jimmy delighted the team. A long range by Jimmy, as he pushed the ball forward with his right foot, he use swinged his foot and bored it into the goal post. The keeper was unable to do anything. He could not react fast enough to block the shot!! what a terrific piece of goal!!! [ 2 - 3 for Sambas!!! ]

More pressure was added on soon after jimmy scored. The CCC fought back and made their lead to be 2 goals advantage. The CC player rushed just in time to shoot the ball. even though he was blocked by Jimmy and Szaywan, he was able to shoot the ball right into the post, with an obstruction from Gavin. [ 2 - 4 for CCC!!! ]

The match was not over yet. The momentum started to raise as Eugene applied the 3rd goal for Sambas. He ran forward on the right flank and as he dribbled past the defender, he blasted his shot into the post, at a tight angleWhat a slendid goal it was. The keeper was blurred as the cramped area seemed to be impossible to place thi shot, into the post, grabbing a score... [ 3 - 4 for Sambas!!! ]

The pressure kept coming as Eugene once again scored the next goal for the Sambas. He pushed the ball forward and hit it with all his strength, putting the ball into the post once again, equalising the score. The hopes of CCC winning seems to be vanished. It seems that the CCC were not doing anything to defend themselves from another defeat. [ 4 - 4 for Sambas!!! ]

A throw in by Eugene made the defenders to panick. jimmy was in the area to shoot the ball but the keeper denied it. The ball was in the air when one of the CCC players handed the ball. ITS A PENALTY!!! The Sambas need to score this goal, a very important and crucial goal, in order to lead the game. Jimmy takes the shot. He seems to be ready and he ran... GOAL!!! He striked the ball into the left area of the post! What a magnificiant strike and come back by the Sambas... AMAZING!!! [ 5 - 4 for Sambas!!! ]

The CCC took their reveng by playing a counter-attack mode. They gave a high cross and the striker was left, unmarked. The Samba defenders were not fast enough to defend their places, causing the ball to get into the post with a nice strike. It seems to level again. [ 5 - 5 for CCC!!! ]

Syazwan was replaced by Hakim and within two minutes, Hakim striked the ball into the post, making the Sambas to be back on the lead. hakim ran forward on the left flank, escaping two tackles from the defenders and he placed his shot, into the goal. What a finish!! Now its the crucial moment of all, where the last goal will settle the whole match. Its the ast ball of the game... who will win??? [ 6 - 5 for Sambas!!! ]

As the match continues, the CC and Sambas did tried very hard to find a gaol for their team. The CC managed to shoot the ball in but a deflection by Gavin saved the team from having a draw. this time, the striker of CCC attacked again. Butter fingers from Gavin made the ball rolled slowly into the post. luckily, Jimmy was there to slide the ball out from the line, but the ball is still near the post. wei Teck did exactly the right thing, putting the ball out from the goal post, preventing any disastours strike from the CCC players... Phew....

Finally, the game ended with Jack shooting the ball at the top corner of the post, causing the keeper to be stunned by what he saw. Jack managed to get his past from Hakim and he dribbled forward, placed his shot into the post, giving theSambas a victorious win. The game ended with the score 7 - 5. The Sambas finally fought back and won the match, with pride and respect from the CCC. it was a nice game by both teams. too bad, there is no network coverage for the match. A great display by both teams... What a thrilling game... COOL!!!

Final Score: 7 - 5 -> Singapore Sambas won

* The Sinagpore Sambas was created on 2003. It was the first name for our team in the Street Soccer Challenge. To make the team proud, I declared that Singaproe Sambas will continue to hold on its name, making sure that victories will be in our hands andthe great team spirit that the team shared.

* Singapore Sambas won both matches. Total aggregate of the two matches: 12 - 6 -> Sambas won!!!

Yesterday just finish my Chinese O Levels Listening exams... Haix.... I think I'm failing my Chinese... I dont even understand what the hack the whole thing is talking about.. The questions give us 4 different options, where all are similar... when the class ask each other what is the answer, most of us have different answers. Great!! Oral was also worst. I'm just stuck at the point where the teacher prompt me with questions... this sounds like Chinese is tiotally game over for me.. I better work hard for the rest of the subjects from now... AR!!!! What a bull!!!!

later I will be having soccer again... Lets hope I'm going to score some more goals... haha.... By the way, we will be having a match with the Sec 3s... Not Alvin's gang but a Malay's gang.. i'm not ure who is it but its one of eugene's friend. Anyway, I hope I can get the right midfield... Not the defence... Its really bad for me if I cant defend well.. You see, I can run like crazy at the right flanks, sometimes left flanks. However, for defence, I need to be aware where I'm tackling... or else... 'RED CARD!! There you go pal...' thats it... hehe... Anyway... I will train hard then... Thats all peps (people) ....

Finally, today is the day, the day where I'm born.... Yes... Its my birthday!!! Well, there's nothing to be so happy about. its not a holiday, nor a celebration day.... haha... I didnt celebrate with my family members as they are quite busy and exhausted from their work. Whereas for my friends, I really want to thank them for giving me the presents and the wishes. Its a pleasure for me to have such wonderful friends. Actually, I wanted to have dinner with Chris and Yun Ting today, but none of them seem to be free... yun Ting needs to go back home while Chris is staying in the Macdonalds, joining her other friends. Not to interupt her, I rather go with my gang, Jack and the rest, than staying behind. I wanted to wait for her, accompany her back home. However, its impossible... Really dont know why... But as I recieve her message just now, she sounds not happy... maybe annoyed of my messages... maybe... Yeah... I'm trying to stay happy. lets just say I dont want to spoil my mood... hehe.... Thats why I keep smiling even Ms Lee scolded me today.... haha...

Tomorrow is my O Levels Chinese Oral... Great!! I have not prepare yet but I'm sure I can do it. I will be putting 100% effort on that. I get the past few weeks review from my friends, most of them say that its quite easy. To me, my Chinese is definitely atrocious, so if they say its okay, its doomsday for me... haha... Alright, its time to go to bed... Bye people... thanks guys, for giving me a perfect birthday... Your presents sure make me smile but with your existence, its makes my life more meaningful... haha... Bye!!!

This few days are so terrible... Once again, need to complete Ms Lee's work as soon as possible. Alrght, I did three comprehensions and 1 letter writing on Monday, thats cool!! Actually, its because I'm lazy to do, doing the work at the very last minute. This is just the usual me, yeah... Luckily I didnt get scolded by her, haha... Anyway, my hope for singing seems to revive, after the camera crew from my sister's class asked me for a favour, to advertise their D & T product. After the whole advertising, well... its really funny, and heard it will be shown to the public... Great!!! haha... but who cares anyway, lests hope no one would ever laugh at the clip, especailly Ms Lee... hehe...

Today just played volleyball with Eugene, Jack Raymond, Chris, Yun Ting, Collin and Gavin. Its quite innteresting as we hit the ball like crazy, making our fists to become red... And Raymond injured his thumb, with his fingernail teared... Yikes!!! That really sounds disgusting.... But overall, we did enjoy the whole game, except me hitting the ball into the pond for two times.... haix... thats definitely trouble...

Today is also a special day. today is Yun Ting's granny bithday... hehe... I did get the chance to greet her. Well, I dare not enter the house partly because, I really dont like to enter someone's house unless there's a big occasion or alot of people are there. The second reason is that her brother was in. His scary but not evil eyes... his voice, hoarse and very fierce.... Even though I'm not that kind of person who scared of others, but I need to mind my manners when I go to other people's house... you know... hehe... Anyway, 'Po Po' (Chinese for Granny) Happy Birthday....

Well, here comes the sad part... Today, I really feel the cold shoulder of Chris... Maybe its because I'm too sensitive, as I'm a person who is definitely sensitive... I realy wanted to tell her... Alright, to be honest from here onwards, I have feelings for her... I dont want to hide as i'm really sick and tired of this. I need to tell her straight but its hard... You see, I'm a man with actions, not words. I dont talk to others but to show to others. Haix... This is terrible. I really wanted to share my feelings, my toughts, everything, with her. However, I heep telling myself not to hint her as I'm scraed that it will affect her emotions... partly on studies and also, its hard to make friends with her as time goes by. Haix... This is terrible...

Anyway, next week's my birthday... I really prefer to be punch... sort of and not recieving presents from the rest. Its bad to have their presents... I relally very embaress... for no reason... But... I believe that my best present is to have my wonderful friends around me... Thanks alot people... thanks... Thats all for today... Sleeping time... On I have forgot... I need to do somewashing... ARRRRR!!!! Disturb my sleeping moments... haha....

This week is truly amazing... Studies... Work... Blah blah blah... Very tired to get myself alert... Alert of all the exams that are around the corner... Well, I really get too serious for this week... I know that i have a wedding to attend, which was yesterday. I really 'enjoy' the wedding... Truly... With abit of sad memories... still kept in my head...

Well I get to practice these 3 songs for the wedding, where I'm suppose to do so. "Zhang Xin" by Wu Yin Liang Pin, "Men Mei Suo" by Pin Guan and "Jiu Shi Wo" by Lin Jun Jie... I practise very hard for tehse 3 songs and on thursday, thanks with a little help from the karaoke 'O' key tuning, i lost my voice on friday, on the actual day of the wedding... GREAT!!! Now I guess I cant put up a good performance. It really piss me off... consider a major blow for me... Haix....

During the wedding, more things got worst. My partner; Yong Hong, and I do not have seats for the wedding dinner. This is getting funnier as time flies by. As soon as I got up the stage, lucky there's a professional singer, who is the same age as me, called Pei Fen, she helped to introduce me to the audience. however, by then, i lost my courage, my confidence in my singing. Its because she had sang before us, and her singing ability is " EXCELLENT ". I cant believe it!!! Excellent was the word found in my dictionary for her.

So, I started singing my first and second song. Well... Horrible!!! I cant believe it... My voice, getting worst as I go on singing. The audience, getting tired of my singing. i know that its not the nature of me singing like that but too bad, I lost my voice. As I sing, i lost my confidence... everything. After the second song, i was about to introduce my partner but was rejected as I need to get off the stage first... For the champangne celebration... As i walked down, I was rather piss off than having a toast with them. Really... I cant believe that i attend the wedding!!!!!

We got to seat with other guests that i do not know them. After my partner and i sang the song, we went back to our seats to eat the food. I still can recall that my singing for that song was much better than the other two songs. however, Yong Hong did ruin some parts of the song, especially when he holds the microphone too near his voice... and yeah... I dont feel like talking about it right now... Haix... It was terrible. After the food, we sat at there and 'enjoy' our meal. i promised myself to leave the hall after 15 mins and I did. Well, i also did saw my singing teacher and he praised me for my good singing. Even though i smile to him, my heart is cracking. I lost hope right now. I dont believe that i can sing quite good now. Yesterday was a total disaster to me... Really...

I feel like I'm going to burst out of tears. The pain is still in my heart, till now, and it will not be going away. I lost everything; my hope for singing, for entertaining, my dreams of being a singer, my power to stand on the start, my voice... EVERYTHING!!! GONE!! OVER!!! Thats it... I really cant embrace myself back again... Gues I need more time or so to get back to my feet, or even, will not sing again... for the people, for my career, for my dream... gosh... Its totally a lost of hope for me... haix...

Luckily today... I went out with Yun Ting and Cynthia Goh... I really enjoy myself, just too tired to do anything. I lost my voice right now... So, I dont think I can speak properly right now... Guess, I need to rest more... Bye...
