CNY post

Finally,
After omg, damn long.. I finally got the photos transfered to my photobucket.
Gosh, tried transferring damn long but can't. Realised the files were too big and i was uploading too many at once. So now, erm.. posting begins.

Before that, i'll like to post this photo! Took it in The Curve.. the mall near 1U.
I thought it was damn gaya so i just erm, post it.


The Curve's ceiling

Relatives arrived on New Year's eve and this year had the new year's eve dinner at home. Had some steamboat thing..was kinda fun actually. Something new. Not that bad actually.



2 seperate tables.. One for the parents and the cousins another, just like any other year. One cousin was absent btw,..the oldest one. she's doing something in UK..either studying or working i'm not very sure oso. -_- . We had our Yu Sang too. Hahaha. Bought from JB by my 3rd aunty. ZZz.



On Cho Yat, we had a little mini photo session in the house. Every family got to take their seperate photographs and we took one huge group photo with my bro's Canon's camera. I gotta resize and edit the photos cause the files were too damn big.





Then we had a little idea and decided to take a pic of every female cousin together and male too.


The Guys


The Gals

And the family pic,



And bla bla bla, we gambled alot...won some money... :) And this is one gaya pic i took!



Ok so erm,
I really feel damn lazy now. I actually have damn alot of things to do... but i'll just probably do the one that is the most important. Got some sports house thing to do as well..and homework..argh. School life. Argh.


And yeah! How could i forget?!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy CNY all!

I'm not too late! Weeee...
Tomorrow school starting and zzz...SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD FOR IT!

The whole of last week my relatives came over and did the usual CNY stuff...except this time it was a little different on new year's eve and we didnt go out for dinner in some fancy chinese restaurant. We had steamboat in the house! It was kinda fun cause it was kinda 'lau juak'(hokkien) cause everyone was there, laughing and all. Zzz so hard to explain.

Photos are in my bro's laptop so i still need to wait for him to burn it so i can transfer it to the com here. I'll post as soon as i get the photos transfered over here so i can explain better...hahaha

Still in the CNY mood! Call me if you got an empty seat at your mahjong or blackjack table.. :)



Till then,
HAPPY CNY!

*edit*- I got this quiz link from friendster and i thought what the heck so i decided to try it out. My results! :-





You Are A Romantic Realist


You are more romantic than 50% of the population.






You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.
Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know.
And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball...
But you'd never admit it to your friends!

One of the best days in life, one of the worst days in history, and one simply average day. I've experienced it all. All in 3 days.

Last Wednesday was simply, dreadful. It was the day after the day(Tuesday) when My house, Yellow bagged 17 points in Tug Of War out of the total 20 in the Boys event. Being the sometimes optimistic person i am, i thought that great incident will just be the start of a very good week. How wrong i was. How horribly wrong i was.

Tuesday ended great with me listening to the end of school bell ring with a smile. Yellow had just completed a day of great success and we crawled up the House Standings up to 2nd place. Weee. Nothing much happened after that and i got home, did my usual stuff and finally got to my bed early at about 10pm. EEp. My point was not to sleep early, rise healthy or something like that. I actually had something on at 4:00 am. Arsenal Vs Manchester United, the match where the whole world had their eyes locked on, the match where I just cannot wait for.

At 3:55 am, i woke up automatically, before my phone alarm rang. Omg.How often do u see that. I believe that was a sign actually. I believed i was meant to watch the match. So i just closed my eyes after that for a little while and got to my senses at 4:05am. Turned on the TV, was freaking great. Arsenal was celebrating and my internal stuff in me was partying. Vieira had just scored from a header. Easily. I was already thinking about a definite 2nd place and looking at the pathetic faces of MU fans. Kaka. Later, Giggs equalised. My body was not that crazy anymore and i was beginning to focus more on the match, fingers crossed. Then the legendary and fantasic Bergkamp scored another. Great. We went into half time 2-1 with the pundits saying that they do not see Arsenal losing. I didn't see it too. Or maybe, I did.

Second half started with a blow from the whistle by Graham Poll and to cut things short, the fake Ronaldo scored twice and O'Shea added salt to the wound. I can remember being stunned at that time and immediately went back to my room to my bed. I closed my eyes and i can remember being very very disappointed. I couldn't even stretch my lips upwards when i try and i didn't know what to do really. It was already 6 at that time, so i went to the bathroom and eventually waited for my school bus. It was one of the worst days of my life. The more i thought about it, the more stressful i get. It was not easy witnessing a rare Arsenal lost. Especially to MU. I strode off to school and found myself lucky when a whole group of MU supporters from my class were not in school as they had to participate in some Volleyball Inter-school competition against other schools who are in the same district as my school. Everything was dead after that in school.. there were so little classes and everything was a bore. ZZZ.

Thursday came and things didn't really look promising at first. That day was when they had the Tug of War events for the girls under-15 and under-18. To be honest, i never expected the results at all to be so and so at all. Again i was proven wrong, by a large large margin.

8:30 am. *ringgggg!* We had to assemble at the foyer and the girls who are participating in the Tug events had to proceed to the field for their warmup or something. Being a patriotic Yellow, i was really really hoping that we will achieve our target of winning at least one match in each category so we will at least end up 2nd place and not last like how our girls always ended up every year. Red and blue had to pull first and to cut the story short........

WE GOT FIRST FOR BOTH CATEGORIES!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is like a full additional..omg... 20 points for us. The Yellows were seen crying for joy(not literally) at the end of the events. Hahaha. Our spirit is great this year. I can see great things happening for us. Overall, we achieved 37 out of a total 40 points for the Tug of War events. Great great start. So far, we are in the hot seat leading by 6 points. The Sports Day is getting really heated up. It will be great if Yellow actually achieve something this year..for me at least, where I had already done all i can and personally faced ONE year as the champion house and the rest....right at the bottom of the standings.
Anyway, that day was actually one of the best so far in 2005. I needed it. I needed it badly.

Then it was Friday and things were looking kinda blurrish and tiring. I know i had a Table Tennis MSSD tryouts at 1:30pm and god, how i was looking forward for it. It is already my final year in School and my final year to participate. The week after this is gonna be a holiday for the CNY.. I could had ended the day happy, but all i had was just a, =/

The school started with a dull dull computer class and they were teaching Visual Basics. ZZZ. After that, i had my physics class and funnily, i understood much more than i usually did in physics. Even funnier, the twin who is sitting beside me in class who had always always advice me to pay attention and study when i started to talk is not there at that time! If i'm not mistaken... he MAY be the problem that i am not paying as much attention than i should in class! hahaha. So we studied, and usual school stuff except there is something to look forward to...the 1 week holiday! Bah, i have an add maths project to do anyway and some other homework so it actually balanced out my happiness and sadness level. At 1:30pm, i got down to the foyer for the Table Tennis MSSD tryouts with a few of my classmates and started to get a little worried.

I really needed it. My will was there. My determination, maybe. My mind was ready. My body was not. I'm a kind of person who needs at least 15 minutes of warm up before i can get to my best. How long did i get? 5 mins. To break my confidence level even more, i picked out one folded slip of paper and after praying for a little while, i realised i had drawn number 1 and i had to go against the guy who had number 2 on his paper. HOW LUCKY. Seriously, the whole week i was hoping that i can avoid that guy and look.. YAY! AND TO MAKE THINGS WORST, it is a knockout system and is divided into two sections. YAY. so if the best 2 is drawn against each other in the first game or if one section got the best players and the other section is not that good, it will mean that we will not be able to send our top 2 for the school! even better. AND TO FINALLY BREAK THE CAMEL"S BACK, the game is played only 1 set. Some ppl may be saying,'nah, 1 set is nothing really big actually..' OMG. ONE ELEVEN POINT SET. THE ELEVEN POINT SYSTEM IS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH. BUT IT"S BEST OF 7 AT LEAST. This? Best of ONE. OH GOD. WHO PLAYS BEST OF 1 and decide on that game?!!!!! ELEVEN point is anyone's game. PLUS MY other reasons that i stated before this on top, this must be the most unfair system in the universe on how they are picking the representatives from the school. And yea, only 2 can represent. So weee. Great, Confidence level = ZERO.

So yeap, i dont care if you are now saying i'm giving an excuse whatsoever, but i lost the first game due to lack of warmup and time. 11 points. How terrible. I still managed a deuce anyway against that guy.. if that's something. The most painful thing is that i know he's sooooo very very beatable. It wouldnt hurt that much if i know that he's a better player compared to me. But he's not. He really really is not. Sigh. He didnt even win in the end. Sigh. After that, i played against the 2 guys who won and are representing us. ZZZ, and i actually won them... :( I was playing for the reserve spot and NO.. they weren't giving me any chances. One guy who was representing played with me cause he always mentioned that he wants to play a friendly with me and bla bla bla shows that he can win me and all but sigh........................ i never lost to him.. :( And the other guy? I was trying for reserves and i made it after i won him too. SIGH. BIG BIG SIGHS.

I guess i was robbed away from it thx to the system. Sigh. I went home after that and i thought about it and i think the best thing to do is that i will be taking part in the Doubles event and becoming a reserve in the Singles event. The only bright thing i got from that Friday is that the next week is gonna be a holiday and i guess that made the day very average, slightly more to the bad side. :(

And after 3 days not being able to get connected to the net. I finally managed to this morning. Somehow, i think the system is up finally. Yay. Cheers. :/ ... The more i think about those 3 days, the worst i feel. Hm. Even the great results on Tueday and Thursday can't really bring my mood up. Feeling slightly better now and OH well, it's part of life i guess.





Just in case i don't blog anytime soon,
Happy Chinese New Year! =)
