yesterday, 281207, was Mr. Tan retirement party.
okay he was our Design & Technology (D&T) teacher.
though he didnt teach my side of the class, he was always there whenver you need him.
for advise on materials and machines. or just to talk crap.
okaay actually he kinda talk loooong to someone whenever he/she made a mistake.
kinda a nag type thing. but he is funny.
most of the times, he knocked a hammer (okay no, its actually a mallet) down on the table and asked everybody in the workshop to gather round.
and then he will shout.. "WHO TAKE MY KEY?!?!"
well sometimes the key is actually just dangling by his belt.
L O L.
that is Mr. Tan.
-
for me & my friends, sometimes we do make him panic. kinda joke.
theres once he asked us to get him food.
he gave us a 10 dollar bill, we left.
we came back without one of our friend (who was given the money & responsibility in buying him his food).
and the rest of us told Mr. Tan that the fella had run away with his money.
its just a simple stupid joke laa.
he then give the shocked face & responded.
"ahh? thats my only 10 dollar?
and he continued giving the shocked face.
lol. we are like damn basket ahh.
then the 'missing' fella came back with the food & his change.
HAHA.
-
okok. so yesterday me, Ridhwan, Shamir & Fa'iz rendezvoused at Mr. Prata.
an indian coffeeshop near our school. secondary school. previous school. dunman. haha.
when i came, the rest were there already. drinking. i mean not alcohol laa. normal drinks.
i came. just stone there. all stoned.
then finally one call made a difference.
a call made from Hari. waa long time never see that fella.
everyone was surprised that he was coming for the party too.
he met up with us and we chit chat abit before leaving for the party.
we reached school and theres quite a number of people there already.
alumnis, teachers, current students. blabla.
-
all was waiting for the arrival of Mr. Tan.
met Ms. Kwek first. a couple of old friends. yepp.
when Mr. Tan arrived in a car, everybody filed up to the sides to create a path for him to walk.
principal, vice-principal, teachers, students.. everyone just applauded.
Mr. Tan was seen smiling. surprised by the no. of people who came to his retirement party.
he spotted Hari. his 'favourite' student who went to play volleyball with his key. haha.
and so Hari shook hand with Mr. Tan.
-
we then proceed to Design Nexus. a place where artefacts are displayed, ideas & projects sprawled all over the walls. some wise words here & there.
its kind of a cosy place. during our graduating year, we spent most of our time there doing our folios.
yepp. memories.
but for that particular day, the place and the area around it are decorated for Mr. Tan.
candle lights lit up the darkness. but of cos certain lamps are switched on.
we were ushered to seat down cos theres gonna be some talk before dinner begins.
me & the usual peeps sat out in the open while the rest sat indoors.
declined to sit indoors.
"we outdoor ah! :)"
the talk begun. blabla...
just when the talk finish, dinner started. rain starts to pelt down.
we took back our 'outdoor' description and bugged in to get the food.
a buffet. great food laa. seriously better than at our prom. sheesh.
we took our food and settled them in the Nexus.
more of our friends then came.
but theres still a disappointing number who didnt turn up.
well they sure have something up.
-
we ate finish and snap some pictures of ourselves.
after dinner, a few more speeches abt Mr. Tan.
then the man himself deliver a speech too.
kinda sad we aint gona see him again in dunman.
yeahh.. he is one hell of a great teacher.
we took some pictures with him before bading farewell.
and with much food left, ta pao-ing (i duno how to spell correctly) is highly recommended.
LOL.
but before we went off, we drop by the construction site in our school.
we feel like doing something stupid.
we decided to go on top the excavator & take a picture.
but we had difficulty trying to get a good pic.
cos who is going to take the photo for us.
anyway we dunno how deep is the trouble if we are going to get caught.
just when we were trying with the camera, the sch janitor walked pass infront of us.
he didnt notice us.
we decided to hide.
Hari hushed us. "shh shh". and then he kicked a metal rod. *clank*
Hari u're damn good. haha.
anyway we didnt get into trouble.
Shamir & Ridhwan got the uncle to help us snap a picture or two.
yepp. we managed to get the pictures. thanks to the uncle.
-
then walking to the gate, we decided to climb the school field fence.
all tried. okaay its damn pain for the fingers.
bloody hell ahh. if not can take picture again. haha.
so we left for home.
hmm guess thats all.
pictures go look in my friendster ah.
i dont like uploading here. ;)
okaayy.
tmrw going fishing with the pasir ris guys.
shamir, regu & hari.
hahaa.
rigght. seeya!

ROOM SHIFT.
-
thats it.
im going to switch rooms with my sis.
basically the purpose was to enable my lil bro sleep with me.
and that is becos he is growing up and of cos you dont expect a growing kid sleeping with his mummy.
oh wait. i didnt explain the vital part.
my sis room is much more bigger than mine.
so that is the main thing why my lil bro can sleep with me.
which also means sharing a room.
and which, i dont like.
especially, with my lil brother.
-
>.<
-
first of all this morning.
woke up early to the shifting noises of furniture dragged out from my sis's room to the hall.
we are going to paint my sis room to my colour.
if possible i want red but my mum is against it for some reasons.
so no choice pick green. spring green. kinda lime-ish.
anyway this room gonna receive sunlight. not the heat laa. the light.
better than my previous room that is dark.
dark & damp. as described by my lovely mother everytime she sees my room messy.
now i get a refreshing room! woohooo.
-
okok. so after shower, breakfast, we started painting.
at first fun ahh. ok to me its fun.
but after a few runs on the wall, i begin to get tired.
basically the arm laa.
the painting job drifted into the afternoon.
my dad went out to get one more bucket of paint. tin? bucket?
nevermind.
i took a rest. LOL. watched TV.
my sis was goin on strong helping with the paint.
really. she did ALOT more than me.
hmm...
-
alright so when my dad got back, we dine in for lunch.
yepp.
mee soto & soto. rice. some gravy. dunno laa suddenly today alot of food.
ohh no. not celebrating christmas. haha!
wth.
okaaay.
so after the lunch we resumed back to painting.
goin to finish real soon.
later my aunt called my mum.
she's coming over!
woohooo. the whole family.
-
they came quite fast.
along with them is whole loads of food & junks.
haha. picnic basket.
i tink they brought rojak.
cos later at dinner, rojak appeared out of my family menu for the day.
ohh yaa. they stayed till dinner.
by then, the paint had dried & we are starting to shift the furnitures.
my uncle helped out.
lucky got assistance.
if not i think we gonna take a long time.
THANKS UNK !!!
-
well now as i enter this entry for my blog, im sitting in a new room.
breathing different air. seeing different views.
ohh later i gonna sleep in my same old bed but in a different room.
lol. im so freaking happy dunno why.
-
i hope i will love it here.
and hope my sis love my previous dark room also.
haha.
okaay. guess thats all.

we were to meet up at harbourfront mrt station.
1600 hrs.
the plan was to watch at vivo city.
ohh the movie title we haven decide yet.
i met up with ridhwan first.
that is at kembangan.
he had to settle something first.
by that its already 1600.

but we DON'T believe we are late.
because timings are always set early so late comers can make it in time.
yaa. haha.
-
on towards harbourfront.
lotsa people. totally.
christmas eve whaat.
saw shamir at the top.
no sign of jib.
i sneaked up behind him and do what i always do.
'slit' the throat from behind.
in Halo 3 its ASSASSINATE.
oh well i dunno how to spell.
looks like too many 'S's there.
nevermind.
anyway his reaction today was almost nothing.
cos he was sick. kind of.
haha. red eyes. shagged.
we thought of getting the movie tickets first.
so we left the station for GV Vivo.
along th way jib called in & said he is in vivo already.
good!
anyway we met him at GV.
outside area.
the place was damn packed.
skimmed thru the TV & all the tickets left that is available was night ones.
sianned out. totally.
-
we knew its christmas eve.
but somehow we came to watch movie in a 'hot' place (Vivo) like this.
haha. crap.
then the two started the bullshit arguing.
ohh its jib & shamir.
as usual.
not serious argument.
its jib's argument.
its meant to be serious.
but to laugh at, at the end.
haha. damn funny to see them like that.
so we decided to go to Great World City instead.
took 65 from outside Vivo.
-
damn Great World City is really great.
cos not much people yet.
anyway the place is kinda ulu ulu.
yeahh. abit of isolated.
ohh tickets are still hell lot available.
many booked for the night ones.
so we decided to watch 'I AM LEGEND'.
the one starring Will Smith. yepp.
thats also after much discussion by the two councils.
haha! riiight.
we still got an hour left.
so we went to eat at mac first.
after which we decided not to buy popcorns & drinks for the movie.
anyway its really a waste of money to buy movie junks.
i mean, food.
serious! okok.
-
so on for the movie.
the movie was kinda slow at the beginning.
but after mid, its kinda great.
somewhat like 28 days/weeks later & Resident EvilS! (the no.2, apocalypse & extinction.)
yepp. a pinch of funny moments. Will Smith right.
the ending part is kinda sad. kind OF.
anway watch the movie & u will noe.
great movie for me. not the greatest. but great. yaa.
not for family ahh. i mean the kids wont know a thing about wads happening.
alright. hmm.
-
after the movie, jib part off first.
he goin to orchard meet his friend.
the rest followed ridhwan.
he buying shoes for Futsal.
damn long time never play soccer.
i mean for me ever since i stepped into poly.

7 medical myths. :)
actually there is 7 medical myths on yahoo. but i guess for most of us these 5 are a "must know". cool eh. but you can always click on the link to get the full story. yeah. 
 clipped from news.yahoo.com
viewing individual neurons or cells reveals no inactive areas Metabolic studies of how brain cells process chemicals show no nonfunctioning areas.
no medical evidence suggest you need that much water "fluid" turned to water fruits and vegetables, plus coffee and other liquids, count.
As the body’s skin is drying out, soft tissue, especially skin, is retracting, nails appear much more prominent as the skin dries out skin is shrinking back, the hair looks more prominent or sticks up a bit.
When hair first shaved, grows with blunt edge on top Over time, seem thicker than it actually is. darker too because hasn't been bleached by the sun.
can cause eye strain and temporarily decreased acuity, which subsides after rest

Halo 3 Secret Message Trailer
the audio is actually played backwards. i love the words. here is what it says:
"I have walked among men and angels for 3000 years. Time has no end... No beginning... No purpose... I wander the earth seeking forgiveness for all my own crimes against God and man. I live to see death and destruction over the light. But the light cannot be extinguished. I live in a prison of my own demise. I am lost in time..."
cool eh :) HALO 3 is not just a game. there are secret messages 'encoded' into maps, logos, soundtracks and stuffs. really awesome. yeahh!!!

the irritating one
friday evening. my uncle called to invite my lil bro & i over to his house for a stayover with his son. obviously for games & fun.
greenlight from my mum. my dad wasn't home yet.
however it was not until night did my uncle & my cousin came over to fetch us to their house at the other end of s'pore, bukit batok.
yaa its my cousin who own that xbox 360. irresistable.
so on the way to their house, we drop by LOT1 at CCK to get COD4 (Call of Duty 4).
ohh he wanted it. but when we get to the store, COD4 sold out. the salesgirl say its hot game.
lol. like obviously. but not so hot like HALO 3 yet. HALO 3 is burning hot.
microsoft & bungie are sure smiling at their hot-selling game.
alright so my cousin just place an order for the next stock arrival.
after that my uncle treat us Old Chang Kee just for after-dinner food.
didnt buy much. dinner still heavy in my stomach.
reached his house. settled down. and started playing halo3 co-op.
the thing that is bugging is that my lil bro is with me. so have to like share!
and if you know him well, and understand his attitude, oh the 11 year old attitude, he is keen in keeping the controller to himself if not for the cause of sharing.
alright alright. he's like that but i still love him. arrgh. haha. okay.
so after a few levels of campaign, we started to play Live.
of course in Live game, things happens fast.
my cousin & i played, and oh my lil bro is bugging.
he insist he can play on Live. i was like yaa okay can wait for your turn?
arghh.
anyway he is playing under my name. then people see as it was me who was playing then he die so many times. =.= alright. whatever.
we played till near 4am or 5am of saturday. my lil bro's eye is like sleepy & i told him to get rest cos he is not accustomed to staying up late. he was damn reluctant.
you know why. cos he know that if he sleeps, then my cousin & i will play all the way and he will feel left out. arghh. again.
so we slept after an early breakfast of hot cadbury choc. my cousin's cat, OREO, was always lying on the kitchen table. persian cats are beautiful. she's so cute.
but if you touch the tail, she will be pissed off. seriously. hahaha.
my uncle's house was near the train railway. i mean the train on the ground. not smrt. ya.
then the train will sometimes just blow off the loud honk. and my lil bro got scared and slept beside me. alamak. in the day act brave, at night sleep with people. =.= sian right.
next day. saturday, we woke up like 1230 i guess. then my uncle ask us to quickly get wash up and go out for lunch. after that we thought of goin back and go swimming. but the weather is so so not with us. it rained. so we just played halo3 again! like siao. but we do played other games. then my uncle tell us to order mac for dinner. but somehow later he brought us out to eat there. he got to go somewhere first to clear some stuffs. so just me, my cousin & my lil bro eating fast food. i guess he ate other heavy food. haha.
later he fetch us back & head back home. halo3 co-op, halo3 live, halo3 co-op, halo3 live, halo3 co-op, halo3 live... ohh and halo3 got this stuff where u find skulls during campaign to unlock certain features. its so cool. like treasure hunting. so we'll be like scanning the whole map, jumping here there to find the skulls. at 3am my lil bro slept! woooohhooo. it was heaven! game just for me & my cousin without the bugging little one. eh im not bad alright. he slept and his head hit the table, i shifted him to the comfort of the bed below. innocence displayed when night falls. =.=
anyway after a few co-op and finding skulls, me & my cousin fell asleep too. the next morning, sunday morning that is, we woke up late. near afternoon. my uncle now say we'll be eating briyani rice. waa. gonna be heavy. this time we walked to the coffeeshop instead of my uncle just driving there. he did so as to 'exercise' before getting back home (after the heavy meal) and not exercise. haha. as we were walking home, little rain drops came down. very light rain. erghh. cant sprint. just walk fast. haha. the briyani rice is like in my gullet.
got back. played a few games then the rain stopped. so we went down for swimming. okay another scene took place. we were playing in the water then my lil bro got fed up with me and chased me with that styrofoam bat. hit me at my body & scolded me for not taking care of him. i was like WTF. at the side of the pool he hit me multiple times then he cried a menacing cry. everyone in the pool like look at us. i dunno what has gotten into him. i tried to console him down but he just kept on crying & scolding me. and he pulled my hair! to that extend, if not for the case we are in open area, i would have just punched him. serious ahh! bloody hell pull my hair. my cousin decided to call my uncle down. lucky he came. he ask us to get back and wash up. my uncle know my lil bro's attitude too. so nothing much said. thanks to him we are only in the water for like 20 mins only.
anyway that night we (me and my lil bro) will be going back home. but before that my other uncle organised a 'boys' night'. haha. dont get it wrong. by 9pm we reached my other uncle's house. there was alot of food. my other guy's cousins were there alredy. no girls! haha. no girls as in visible there. then later, match between liverpool & man u. haha. they sided. i dont give a damn. i liked man u but im not into soccer thing. right. anyway man u won 1-0. cool. that anderson guy (he's 19). he's a swift player. rock steady. alright alright. then afta those chicken wings, bone soup, fried noodles, lemon juice and coke, we had ice-cream and crackers. we played transformers. all of us watched like so many times but watch again. cos we never watch it together. so until 2am when it finished did my uncle sent me & my bro home. thanked him for everything. he's so cool. funny but when comes to serious matters, he is serious.
haha. so i guess thats all about it. seeya around!
and uh.. I WANNA GO FISHING!!!

best time out
today i went fishing with my cousins (Nasir & Najib) and Najib's friends (Zul and his lil bro Faiz).
so basically i am to meet my cousins at Changi Village.
but eventually i came earlier then them.
so i waited at the bus stand.
and i noticed a guy and a lil boy by the side with fishing rods too.
friendly faces.
i have the feeling that they are my cousin's friends.
but im not too sure yet so i just waited.
when my cousins came down the bus, they were waving at the people over there and me.
so its true then.
the people i noticed was my cousin's friends.
haha.
the elder one, Zul, is so similar to my friend, Ariff.
and the lil bro, Faiz, is so similar to my own lil bro.
haha. weird.
anyway we go buy some stuffs for fishing.
plus Nasi Lemak and baits.
it was still raining, lightly.
we planned to go to fish at bedok jetty (east coast).
so we carried on our plan no matter what.
armed with fishing rods, backpacks, 5 packets of Nasi Lemak, and Pon Pon (seaworms.. you know those worms you need to squeeze out from the pockets which is their 'house'?).
good if you know, if you dont, then just forget about it and imagine, or look up the internet if you are curious.
anyway we took 29 to tampines interchange where we transfer to bus 31.
the bus goes up to Bayshore Road where we alighted.
ohh we had so much difficulty in alighting cos the bus is damn packed and we haf so much stuffs.
imagine.. right.
the only way to get to east coast is thru the underpass from bayshore road.
ohh now thats NOT the only way. (the new people into us a new short cut system. haha).
we can just cut short thru the expressway.
hahaha. dangerous?
not so. i mean you got eyes right. see where you are going.
about roughly... approximately... estimated... okok. 10 minutes later. i think... ya
we reached bedok jetty.
rain still falling like forever. light rain.
not much of anglers there. tide is going down.
we found a 'bustop' (the shelters in bedok jetty looks like bustops seriously, but no bench.) yepp. so we mobilize! settled down.
everyone complaint of hunger and the need to eat.
hahaha. after we threw lines in the water, we managed ourselves to the Nasi Lemak.
o greatness. its so heavenly. i mean its raining and we're eating a food so delicious.
oh sadly its not warm anymore. if it is, i tell you.. it'll be the greatest damn feeling ever.
5 mins and my food finished. waa damn sad.
stomach still empty. lol. so after that we carry on fishing.
caught random fishes of sizes no bigger than the hand. tide was low.
we came quite at a wrong time but nevertheless, PATIENCE! ^^
and Nasir caught this furry worm tgt with a fish.
the worm is disgustingly freaking. WATCH BELOW!!! THE VIDEOS ARE THERE.
later on my cousin caught a big fish. well not that big. swee swee.
say if u put on your face, your eyes, nose, eyebrows and lower lips, gone.
for me its the size to go into the frying pan man.
haha. coolness. he was so happy to get that biggie.
further into the evening, bait going to finish and we're starving! the 1400+ lunch in our stomach is like burned.
haha. about baits, an uncle was leaving the jettty and he told us that he left some squids by a chair.
wow. that was so good. we were running out of baits and lucky us, this uncle saves us!
wow. an angel... ohh okay. nono.
right. then we discovered something. something we never knew. the squid.. in the dark.. it glows of bluish green! what a DISCOVERY!
pity our knowledge not to that extend. haha. now than we know.
if the squids can laugh i think they'd be laughing.
haha. so around 2130 my family (w/o my dad) and my other cousin's family came down to pay us a visit. oh they brought food and bait! isnt that lovely.
so we fished again and settled for food. o man you must see how we eat.
we eat like WILD ANIMALS. haha.
so afta that medium sized fishes starts coming in.
then my cousin hooked up a crab cage with growth and seaweeds everywhere.
spotted a couple o seahorses trapped inside.
we RESCUED them! yay! VIDEOS BELOW!!! WATCH IT!
haha. anyway there's this uncle who reeled in Ikan Duri (ermm.. in english it translates to 'spike fish' but i think it has a name in english.
i dont know. 'spike fish' is not its name.) yaa so he reeled in that fish like so many times.
i think he had hit the spot. wonderful. good for him.
anyway later on when the 'convoy' who just came about to leave, we also decided to leave. they went off first in the car while we will go off taking bus. its already like 2315!
haha. so late. i've nver been so late out at sea and still wana go home take bus.
so we kinda rushed. oh correction. we did not.
we walked in a steady pace. no rush. haha. we thought of crossing thru the short cut (the expressway there) but we decided to explore the way to the underpass.
so we walked under the underpass.
ohh there are so many stories ab;ut that underpass. ghosts. you know...
the place was kinda eeriee. but we are 5 strong souls passing thru there man! yeaah! haha. oh by request, i blasted my handphone's music.
so we walked and walked and walked until finally we met the bustop. haha. all rushed to see if we can still make it for the last bus and indeed we do.
bus came, we board. and i part off first by alighting a few stops infront to take another bus home.
yaa. in total. today. best day. new people. weird stuffs. yeahh! now im freaking tired. stomach hungry. i better go sleep now. peace. ^^ GOODNIGHT!
inBlack&Red,
` samarra .
so basically i am to meet my cousins at Changi Village.
but eventually i came earlier then them.
so i waited at the bus stand.
and i noticed a guy and a lil boy by the side with fishing rods too.
friendly faces.
i have the feeling that they are my cousin's friends.
but im not too sure yet so i just waited.
when my cousins came down the bus, they were waving at the people over there and me.
so its true then.
the people i noticed was my cousin's friends.
haha.
the elder one, Zul, is so similar to my friend, Ariff.
and the lil bro, Faiz, is so similar to my own lil bro.
haha. weird.
anyway we go buy some stuffs for fishing.
plus Nasi Lemak and baits.
it was still raining, lightly.
we planned to go to fish at bedok jetty (east coast).
so we carried on our plan no matter what.
armed with fishing rods, backpacks, 5 packets of Nasi Lemak, and Pon Pon (seaworms.. you know those worms you need to squeeze out from the pockets which is their 'house'?).
good if you know, if you dont, then just forget about it and imagine, or look up the internet if you are curious.
anyway we took 29 to tampines interchange where we transfer to bus 31.
the bus goes up to Bayshore Road where we alighted.
ohh we had so much difficulty in alighting cos the bus is damn packed and we haf so much stuffs.
imagine.. right.
the only way to get to east coast is thru the underpass from bayshore road.
ohh now thats NOT the only way. (the new people into us a new short cut system. haha).
we can just cut short thru the expressway.
hahaha. dangerous?
not so. i mean you got eyes right. see where you are going.
about roughly... approximately... estimated... okok. 10 minutes later. i think... ya
we reached bedok jetty.
rain still falling like forever. light rain.
not much of anglers there. tide is going down.
we found a 'bustop' (the shelters in bedok jetty looks like bustops seriously, but no bench.) yepp. so we mobilize! settled down.
everyone complaint of hunger and the need to eat.
hahaha. after we threw lines in the water, we managed ourselves to the Nasi Lemak.
o greatness. its so heavenly. i mean its raining and we're eating a food so delicious.
oh sadly its not warm anymore. if it is, i tell you.. it'll be the greatest damn feeling ever.
5 mins and my food finished. waa damn sad.
stomach still empty. lol. so after that we carry on fishing.
caught random fishes of sizes no bigger than the hand. tide was low.
we came quite at a wrong time but nevertheless, PATIENCE! ^^
and Nasir caught this furry worm tgt with a fish.
the worm is disgustingly freaking. WATCH BELOW!!! THE VIDEOS ARE THERE.
later on my cousin caught a big fish. well not that big. swee swee.
say if u put on your face, your eyes, nose, eyebrows and lower lips, gone.
for me its the size to go into the frying pan man.
haha. coolness. he was so happy to get that biggie.
further into the evening, bait going to finish and we're starving! the 1400+ lunch in our stomach is like burned.
haha. about baits, an uncle was leaving the jettty and he told us that he left some squids by a chair.
wow. that was so good. we were running out of baits and lucky us, this uncle saves us!
wow. an angel... ohh okay. nono.
right. then we discovered something. something we never knew. the squid.. in the dark.. it glows of bluish green! what a DISCOVERY!
pity our knowledge not to that extend. haha. now than we know.
if the squids can laugh i think they'd be laughing.
haha. so around 2130 my family (w/o my dad) and my other cousin's family came down to pay us a visit. oh they brought food and bait! isnt that lovely.
so we fished again and settled for food. o man you must see how we eat.
we eat like WILD ANIMALS. haha.
so afta that medium sized fishes starts coming in.
then my cousin hooked up a crab cage with growth and seaweeds everywhere.
spotted a couple o seahorses trapped inside.
we RESCUED them! yay! VIDEOS BELOW!!! WATCH IT!
haha. anyway there's this uncle who reeled in Ikan Duri (ermm.. in english it translates to 'spike fish' but i think it has a name in english.

Sungai Api Api (Pasir Ris Park)
ths video was taken last week i guess. when i went fishing with firdaus. was disappointed to see a couple of buoyancy thinggy with nets underneath, on both sides of the bridge. sad in a case whereby there are slim chances of biggies passing in in to the river. i dont even know why the green thing is there for. heard its to block out rubish and litters in the river buit im not that certain. for sure i will find out the cause. like firdaus said that day, "what is this.. blasphamy.. this sin". alrite that was so freaking funny of him. yeaah but i kinda agreed. you noe its a hindrance and disappointment to anglers. so im just putting this up to just show ppl, specifically anglers, about this bad treatment. haha. right..

unexpected FUN
friday evening right after prayers, me, kamarul, firdaus and ridhwan met. it was raining like usually. ridhwan part off first cos he still got school on. the rest went off to Shop n Save. firdaus wanted to get a peanut butter and i wanna get the gatsby rubber for my hair. ^^ so we went but there's no peanut butter there that suits fifi's criteria and there's no gatsby rubber for me there too. we decided to go watson to get my objective done. but well there were gatsby rubbers there but dont have the pink one. the pink is the spiky edge generally for short hair. fifi then decided to head off first. so left me & kamarul. i requested we go to TM or CS to find my stuff but we passed by a shop that sells so i just get it. he then 'dragged' me into going to the library to find his book. i followed. on the way my cousin called.
he said i can come over to his house for a stay over. no point declining that offer. know why? he got an xbox360 ELITE VERSION! plus HALO3 and NEED FOR SPEED PRO STREET! yeahh! so i called my mum for permission. anyway the next day my cousin and his dad plus my family minus my dad will go fishing. i cant wait to get to my cousin's house. this will the first time i will come to his house looking at the 360. wooohooo. waa sounds like i own it like that.
so i quickly got home, changed, eat lunch before setting off for Bukit Timah. oh yaa he live like so opposite of me. so im in the mrt to bukit batok from tampines. one end of s'pore to another. very long trip. very boring. very fatigue. at bukit batok, he came down with his dad in the car and fetch me to his home. first thing go there, played HALO 3! haha. and i was so amazed. with NEW TV. wow. PLASMA. i couldnt say more. played co-op campaign. and then live. WOW. the experience of playing live with other players in the world is soo damn cool. of course we dont win all the time. im not that pro. but i do KILL! haha. BEAT DOWN, ASSASSINATION, ENDED KILL JOY. waa. i wished i can have 360 and halo3. so we played like from the evening until 4-30am of saturday! LOL. oh btw there's an hour dinner outside in betwen. yeahh. i really enjoyed it.
morning wake up..................................WE PLAYED AGAIN! LIVE!
hahaha.
oh by the way we wake up at arnd 12pm.
play play then my uncle came in to say pack up and get going cos we're goin fishing with my family. so we bathed, changed and waited for my uncle to finish doing his stuff. oh btw we haven had breakfast. we are just going to have lunch at my house. my uncle is going to pick up my family before goin off for fishing.
at my house, we had quite a heavy lunch. then we all bring the fishing gears to my uncle's car. all set, we headed for tampines to pick up my other cousin who also wanted to fish with us. when we want to pick him up, we were all surprised that his younger bro also want to follow. so inside the car, it will be abit packed. MPV. 8 people of varying sizes. just squeeze in. haha. can laa. so we then headed to changi village to get some fishing stuffs plus the baits. the wormys. haha.
we shot off to a place near changi cargo. we scanned the place before fishing. RECCE! the place nice, peaceful, we settled down. minutes later, many lines already in the water. there are high chances of getting fishes there. but the thing is the fishes are like eating abit then swim off. hit and run. get the scenario? yaa. educated fishes. but we do caught some random fishes. smallies but still okay. later we explored the rocks area and found out alot of oysters. my cousin was the pro. he good at searching and ripping it off from the rocks. haha. night falls, we had dinner there and sooner, our area was overwhelmed wif darkness. cos we are nowhere near any lamp posts. our place is like u noe... ulu ulu. haha. so we shifted. no not shifting to an area with light. we are shifting to east coast. bedok jetty. haha!
COOL. we are going to stay overnight at the jetty. unexpected ahh. so we got to the jetty and settle down again. wow. i have never ever gone fishing in two places in one day. cos this time my uncle got car. easy transportation. thats why can. yaa. lines in the water then my line went tight. the tip of the rod vibrated. not that much. i thought its just another fish. so i felt the vibration, then i jerked up hard. the vibration was strong so i thought okay now its gonna be quite a big one. i threw the line wuite a distance and reeling it back was tiring. arm pain. halfway trhu the reeling, the vibration stopped. i thought i lost the fish. sian. but well actually no. when my line is in my sight, i saw what i believed to be a bunch of seaweeds floating above the water. sailing towards me. i was reeling in fast. when it got near, i saw the face of the catfish. it is splashing the water on the surface. suddenly it becomes so hard to reel in. heavy. when i manged to pull it up, i brought it down to the floor of the jetty. well.. arnd 30.. 35cm long. quite a catch. im feeling so euphoric. haha. finally a fish worthy for my half a year patience. when i got the picture, i will upload it here. awesome.
so right into sunday morning 0330 hrs we were fishing. somewhere in near that point of time, it rained real heavy. waa so freaking damn cold. haha. but it was a great experience. okay cut short. anyway caught an eel. small one. and the others caught too. random odd fishes. we then stopped. we decided to call it.. a day. haha. packed up and went for EARLY BREAKFAST! can u believe that. my uncle brought us to a 24/7 coffeeshop near tampines and ya. we had breakfast. pratas and teh tariks. lol. early in the morning at 0430 hrs. so chilling and we have warm tea is sooo damn nice. yeahh. well after that my uncle sent my cousins off ferst before sending me & family home. yeahh.

esp that Japanese guy.
wherever he go: "Hello! My name is Hiro Nakamura".
haha. he's so freaking funny.
well i guess one thing that makes him stand out in Heroes is that he is Asian.
oh and particularly, he spoke in japs language.

ate nuggets with curry sauce. oh tts normal.
then my aunt prepared a meal with a few slices of that long bread.

i dunno. so theres shaker fries seaweed thing.
i poured them on the bread and then poured the curry sauce over.
okay i know it sounds sick.
well im a sicko believe me but i bet there are other ppl out there more sick than me.
haha. yea believe that part too.
oh and somehow i didnt burp just now.

cold apathy.
i was sad yesterday
miserable the day before.
*
i could have made everything clear
could have made everything better.
*
im not hardcore emotional
but i do cry in harsh moments.
*
there are many mistakes
none of which can be undone.
*
yesterday was hate
today is love.
*
darkness plays in the day
light of hope in the night.
*
a rose was left to die that night
it cried of crimson blood.
*
my heart grew cold by that
like a soul tormented on ice.
*
i whispered of tragedy finally
to end this bond of pain.
*
i sworn not to commit
no point that i can see.
*
what is to be
will be.
*
black will paint over white
and red will stain it.
*
goodbye
love.

The Sweetest Moment
below is a composition i did about a year back. when i was in sec 5 (2006). English assignment yaa of cos. the title was 'The Sweetest Moment'. i just put it here so everyone can read. just a made-up story not real. and i just do this for fun cos im so freaking damn bored at home. alright? and, okay if you're the type who hates people's essay with bad grammars or spellings OR EVEN PUNCTUATIONS, then i'd suggest you just go somewhere else. okay? :) because my English not superior. and i editted someparts of the essay. anyway you dont even know if its edited because the original is not here. haha. wth.
//
We discovered a building at the end of the path we were taking. It was a small building with half of itself gone down into rubbles. I was about to take a step forward when the team sniper pulls me back. Without even having to ask him the question why, I soon realised what is happening. Through my binoculars, i saw a couple of guys talking to each other in a room. And by the side I saw a soldier in a different uniform from them. He was clad in OUR uniform and blindfolded. That guy is our subject to be rescued and extracted to safety. The team sniper then take out his sniper rifle and take his aim through the scope. Just a few seconds and then came a loud thundering sound. The sniper's bullet found its way right into the heart of the first target. He dropped to the floor. The second was sent into a state of shock and panic. He tried to reach for a phone on the table when the second shot was made. The bullet hit his neck hard and parts of its flesh can be seen splattered onto the wall. He too then dropped. My whole team charged in.
The subject to be rescued was so happy to see us. He almost cried talking about the bad treatment he received from his kidnappers. The brusies and cuts on his body and face explained it all. Without wasting time, we exited quickly and rushed out to the extraction zone whereby a Black Hawk helicopter will be waiting for us. We were lucky that there was no resistance in our process of evacuating. When the last soldier come aboard, the helicopter took off. We flew out of the urban zone and into the plains.
"RPG!"
I glanced over the door just in time to see a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) launching at us from a distance.
Wham. It hit the helicopter on the tail. We begun to spun around madly.
"MAYDAY! MAYDAY!"
"HOLD ON TIGHT!"
"HOLD ON!!!"
The pain in my back was unbearable. I shifted just to come to my senses that I am on a bed. I was heavily bandaged. I am on a hospital bed, and I guessed it right. There were nurses walking by. One of them spotted me waking up and came quickly to ask me to rest. I looked around and saw only a few soldiers on the beds down the corridor. The pilots were nowhere to be seen. Later I learnt from the nurse that The two pilots did not survive the helicopter crash and so does a few soldiers. I felt sorry for them, and in a way, I felt lucky to have survived. I thanked God for letting me a chance to live. The nurse added on that a group of United Nations peacekeepers found our crash site and sent us to this hospital in Palestine. The Russian embassy already received the news of his fallen countrymen. We were lucky to be discovered by UN peacekeepers and not terrorist groups or guerillas.
As I was checking on my hands, I noticed my marriage ring. Then the images of Akasha struck my mind like a bullet. And then Viktor's. I suddenly remembered them. I asked for a phone and made a call back home. At first there was no answer and then, a sweet lady's voice answered. Its Akasha! I really missed her so much. She told me the Russian Embassy had just let her know a while ago and then she was very worried with my condition. I calmed her down and told her that I am fine. Her panicky tone suddenly changed to what it seems to be a tone of huge relief. She also report to me what was going on at home and how was Viktor and so on. We talked on the phone for hours till night.
It has been three days now in the hospital and I am beginning to feel energy surging back into me - the energy to go back home. As i was deep in thoughts one evening, staring at the ceiling, a voice called out my name. I thought it was just my imagination and so I did not really take it seriously. But then the voice called out my name again and again. I started to realise that someone was really calling out to me. I spun my head to the door and saw what I have not expected to see. Clad in a pink dress with eyes gleaming by the side, Akasha was there. I quickly got up and she rushed to me. She hugged me with tears in the eyes. I forgot all about the pain I am experiencing now. Her presence was like an immediate cure to a prolong disease. I was on the verge of tears. It was the sweetest moment in my life. Akasha told me that she had come to fetch me home. She had left Viktor under the care of her parents. I was so touched that evening. The whole scene was overwhelming.
A week later i found myself back at home, after going through a military funeral for my fallen comrades. I will always remember them in my heart. And so does the other two souls I love - Akasha and Viktor. The moment I stepped into my house, I felt great as I had kept my promise of coming back home no matter what. Now, I would never leave my family alone again. Never at all cost. I do not want to lose them, and I, do not want them to lose me.
//
okae guys so thats my narration. how? okay? of cos there is FOREVER a room for improvement. haha. so bear in mind again. its my secondary school essay. not some big thing. :) til then, cya!!

The Sweetest Moment
The sun is already beginning to start it's sleep. Drowning itself into the horizon, colouring the skies with streaks of bright orange. The clouds floated high above like candyfloss, drifting with the wind. From the window of my two-storey apartment, I watch that evening 'scene' as they take place. Much later, the moon rose at the opposite horizon and smiled brightly down on the city with it's ever beaming glow.
It was a long and rough day at work. Watching this evening 'scene' calms my mind from the hectic training back at camp. Working as a combat engineer in the army is a tough job. Most of our tasks are outdoors under the blaring hot sun: repairing vehicles, disarming bombs, setting up mines, and many other tasks that drain out all those energy in a person. However no matter how hard or harsh it is, I love my career. It is the passion i have for it.
I glanced at the wall clock. It is eight o'clock. Its time for dinner. So i went downstairs to the kitchen with my grumbling stomach to have a nice and scrumptious dinner. From the entrance of the kitchen, the aroma of the food is already there, lingering in the air and lifting my appetite. A woman stood there preparing the food. She was clad in a cooking apron, dirty and simply messy, but her beautiful smile just seems to drown all those messiness. Her long black curly hair was tied neatly in a bun above the head. She saw me coming down. The eyes of which seems to be scanning my entire self. They gleamed under the bright lights of the kitchen lamp. In a glance, they look like they belong to a cat. But no, they belong to my beloved wife, Akasha. She is a responsible and caring wife. I am so lucky to have a life-partner like her. At the other end of the kitchen, a little boy was messing around with his food. He is our son, Viktor. Just like any other ordinary child, playful and cheerful. A sweetheart to me and my wife. The one who bonds Akasha and me closer together.
Dinner was served and all the three of us sat together at the dining table. Of course, Viktor is in the baby seat. All that was important is that he is happy and does not make noise. As we ate, Akasha and I talked about how our day goes by. Every now and then, Akasha would spoon feed Viktor, who usually makes a mess with the food. After dinner, Akasha washed the dishes while I headed to the bathroom to take a shower. Before that, I would put Viktor in his playing area so he would not get bored while both of his parents were busy. I headed upstairs and had a nice cold shower. As i was showering, I heard my cell phone rang. Thinking it might be some important call, I quickly end my wonderful bath and went for the phone. I answered it. My commander-in-chief's voice spoke.
I was both surprised and shocked. My commander-in-chief told me that a rescue mission briefing will take place in the next morning. All that he could describe to me is that the mission could rather be dangerous and will take place somewhere off the border of Israel. This mission will be my first and I felt anticipation in it. I hung up the phone and saw Akasha by the door, carrying Viktor. She must have overheard the whole conversation. From her facial expression, the word 'WORRIED' spells across it. The trouble with having a caring wife like her is that sometimes, she is just TOO caring. She talked about people dying in those areas, how they kidnap soldiers and decapitate them, and how bullets fly free there. I could not help it but calm her down. She is just scaring herself. I took Viktor from her and lay him on the bed. He was fast asleep. I looked back at Akasha.
"Akasha listen to me."
I held her hands in mine, bringing myself close to her.
"A life out there is in need of help. Waiting to be rescued. They need me for that mission. Please understand me Akasha. You will. Will you?"
She barely nodded her head. I kissed her in the forehead and when i withdraw, i could see sparkling tears caught up in the eyelashes. She was afraid that I might get caught up or killed. I felt the same way too because this is the first time I will be entering foreign's soil on a real mission. That night after packing my clothes, gears and equipments, I lay down in bed trying to get some sleep. Somehow tonight was so hard to get my eyes close. The adrenaline in my blood was ready to pump into my veins the next day. Somehow, in someway, i felt afraid.
It was five in the morning and I am already dressing up, ready to report to camp. Akasha was up too. From her facial expression, I knew she was still reluctant to let me go on this mission but I had no choice. I need to fulfil my duty as a soldier. I need to release a soul out of torment. I hung my haversack across my shoulders, went over to Viktor who is still sleeping and kissed him by the cheek. He is so lovely when he cuddled up in his cot. Then I came down to bade my wife farewell. She was at the door.
"I love you, Akasha."
"I love you too, Ramirez", she replied weakly.
"Take care", she added.
I hugged her and give her a kiss. I promised to her that I will come back. I promised that I will return to her and Viktor, at any cost.
The following day, I found myself battling side by side with a group of specialised soldiers on the fields of Israel. We were trying to enter a camp and we need to wipe out a group of infantries in order to do that. There was heavy fire and loud explosives. I never liked the idea of killing. But it seems that that is what is required of every soldier in his duty to defend and protect. A couple of minutes later, the camp sentries fall back. We advanced only to find a steel door before us. This is when my speciality comes in as a combat engineer. I planted explosive charges on the steel door and blasted it open. The explosion was tremendous, sending dusts flying up into the air. There was a path, in fact the only path, behind that wreckage. I led the way in, scanning any possible signs of threat or danger lurking behind every wall and corners. The soldiers followed close behind me with their rifles, held tight infront of their chests on high alert.
The sun is already beginning to start it's sleep. Drowning itself into the horizon, colouring the skies with streaks of bright orange. The clouds floated high above like candyfloss, drifting with the wind. From the window of my two-storey apartment, I watch that evening 'scene' as they take place. Much later, the moon rose at the opposite horizon and smiled brightly down on the city with it's ever beaming glow.
It was a long and rough day at work. Watching this evening 'scene' calms my mind from the hectic training back at camp. Working as a combat engineer in the army is a tough job. Most of our tasks are outdoors under the blaring hot sun: repairing vehicles, disarming bombs, setting up mines, and many other tasks that drain out all those energy in a person. However no matter how hard or harsh it is, I love my career. It is the passion i have for it.
I glanced at the wall clock. It is eight o'clock. Its time for dinner. So i went downstairs to the kitchen with my grumbling stomach to have a nice and scrumptious dinner. From the entrance of the kitchen, the aroma of the food is already there, lingering in the air and lifting my appetite. A woman stood there preparing the food. She was clad in a cooking apron, dirty and simply messy, but her beautiful smile just seems to drown all those messiness. Her long black curly hair was tied neatly in a bun above the head. She saw me coming down. The eyes of which seems to be scanning my entire self. They gleamed under the bright lights of the kitchen lamp. In a glance, they look like they belong to a cat. But no, they belong to my beloved wife, Akasha. She is a responsible and caring wife. I am so lucky to have a life-partner like her. At the other end of the kitchen, a little boy was messing around with his food. He is our son, Viktor. Just like any other ordinary child, playful and cheerful. A sweetheart to me and my wife. The one who bonds Akasha and me closer together.

There was a path, in fact the only path, behind that wreckage. I led the way in, scanning any possible signs of threat or danger lurking behind every wall and corners. The soldiers followed close behind me with their rifles, held tight infront of their chests on high alert.
We discovered a building at the end of the path we were taking. It was a small building with half of itself gone down into rubbles. I was about to take a step forward when the team sniper pulls me back. Without even having to ask him the question why, I soon realised what is happening. Through my binoculars, i saw a couple of guys talking to each other in a room. And by the side I saw a soldier in a different uniform from them. He was clad in OUR uniform and blindfolded. That guy is our subject to be rescued and extracted to safety. The team sniper then take out his sniper rifle and take his aim through the scope. Just a few seconds and then came a loud thundering sound. The sniper's bullet found its way right into the heart of the first target. He dropped to the floor. The second was sent into a state of shock and panic. He tried to reach for a phone on the table when the second shot was made. The bullet hit his neck hard and parts of its flesh can be seen splattered onto the wall. He too then dropped. My whole team charged in.
The subject to be rescued was so happy to see us. He almost cried talking about the bad treatment he received from his kidnappers. The brusies and cuts on his body and face explained it all. Without wasting time, we exited quickly and rushed out to the extraction zone whereby a Black Hawk helicopter will be waiting for us. We were lucky that there was no resistance in our process of evacuating. When the last soldier come aboard, the helicopter took off. We flew out of the urban zone and into the plains.
"RPG!"
I glanced over the door just in time to see a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) launching at us from a distance.
Wham. It hit the helicopter on the tail. We begun to spun around madly.
"MAYDAY! MAYDAY!"
"HOLD ON TIGHT!"
"HOLD ON!!!"
The pain in my back was unbearable. I shifted just to come to my senses that I am on a bed. I was heavily bandaged. I am on a hospital bed, and I guessed it right. There were nurses walking by. One of them spotted me waking up and came quickly to ask me to rest. I looked around and saw only a few soldiers on the beds down the corridor. The pilots were nowhere to be seen. Later I learnt from the nurse that The two pilots did not survive the helicopter crash and so does a few soldiers. I felt sorry for them, and in a way, I felt lucky to have survived. I thanked God for letting me a chance to live. The nurse added on that a group of United Nations peacekeepers found our crash site and sent us to this hospital in Palestine. The Russian embassy already received the news of his fallen countrymen. We were lucky to be discovered by UN peacekeepers and not terrorist groups or guerillas.
As I was checking on my hands, I noticed my marriage ring. Then the images of Akasha struck my mind like a bullet. And then Viktor's. I suddenly remembered them. I asked for a phone and made a call back home. At first there was no answer and then, a sweet lady's voice answered. Its Akasha! I really missed her so much. She told me the Russian Embassy had just let her know a while ago and then she was very worried with my condition. I calmed her down and told her that I am fine. Her panicky tone suddenly changed to what it seems to be a tone of huge relief. She also report to me what was going on at home and how was Viktor and so on. We talked on the phone for hours till night.
It has been three days now in the hospital and I am beginning to feel energy surging back into me - the energy to go back home. As i was deep in thoughts one evening, staring at the ceiling, a voice called out my name. I thought it was just my imagination and so I did not really take it seriously. But then the voice called out my name again and again. I started to realise that someone was really calling out to me. I spun my head to the door and saw what I have not expected to see. Clad in a pink dress with eyes gleaming by the side, Akasha was there. I quickly got up and she rushed to me. She hugged me with tears in the eyes. I forgot all about the pain I am experiencing now. Her presence was like an immediate cure to a prolong disease. I was on the verge of tears. It was the sweetest moment in my life. Akasha told me that she had come to fetch me home. She had left Viktor under the care of her parents. I was so touched that evening. The whole scene was overwhelming.
A week later i found myself back at home, after going through a military funeral for my fallen comrades. I will always remember them in my heart. And so does the other two souls I love - Akasha and Viktor. The moment I stepped into my house, I felt great as I had kept my promise of coming back home no matter what. Now, I would never leave my family alone again. Never at all cost. I do not want to lose them, and I, do not want them to lose me.
