Howdy, lets start this off with a belated bday to this cute blog (not!). It probably slipped my mind since arsenal drew 2-2 with villa. Argh wadeva. It is that time of the year again to review my very fruitful 2008!
*warning wall of text spotted*
Lets start off with my new school. VJC. I've never once regretted going into this school even though my results is probably as good as my vacuum cleaner. Don't say i never fulfil my potential, its just not clicking for me, yet, YET. haha ok, i've made new friends, close friends, had some disputes, mature more (i hope), and probably also seen some ugly parts of the real world out there. New friends are silver, old friends are gold, thats for sure.
I have an amazing class, truly. I feel contented and lucky to have such a class like them. I've the honour to make friends with people like elton, wenkai and harry etc. haha, the famous four who talk cocks during econs tutorials. Not forgetting timothy, chin boon, randy and cedric, who (each of them) has allowed me to learn how to improve as a person, be it through good times and bad times. I know myself, there are things which when i cant accept, i wont accept, stubborn would be a good word here (Thats like wenger so hey! wads wrong?!). I've learned and enjoyed a lot from all these individuals the past year, so no matter how bad things may turn out, i really want to thank them.
Not to forget the girls! yu sin, sherlyn and li xuan has been wonderful in making our class such an enjoyable place. The energy they maintain each and every single day and the way they spice up our lives (haha) is probably instrumental in making our class bonded. Fantastic energy really.
Sherli, my pw mate with her 'so irritating' catch phrase, will not be left out too. I'm lucky to have her and cedric and jiang wei as my grp mates, putting up with my nonsense and my really bad anger management at times. Oh and all the hard times i had to put through during the latter part of the year, thanks a lot for listening my incessant complains during those long bloody 43 rides, haha so arigato sherli! And shu han, one of the 2 girls i've first met in VJ. Your enthusiasm during class outings and all was superb too!
and theres xin rui! hahhaa SG awww. One of the most enjoyable prank i had this year was from SG and HG. Honey boy is really quite sweet, really. =) SG is a really nice girl ok, apart from the fact that she is quite ley chey, quite whiney, talks a wee bit too much and too loud at times, eats quite lot, make fun of others. Yea shes nice. really. And shes a good listener! I'm very happy to have a friend like SG who can chat chit (yea like dane cook, i flipped this shit) for hours with me. Oh ya, she mj damn slow also, apart from that she is a good friend!
Plus the long lost ka lun siamed to america. My short span of friendship with him was an unforgettable one!
Ok the chapter for the class is over, let move on to some of my older friends, shall we? Yes we shall.
I must have been a monk for my past life and past past life to have the luck to have friends like zi quan, teng wee, en hao and nian kiat. Quan will be my closest and bestest friend for 8 years starting from tmr, gosh how time flies! Me <3 <3 der worz. From the tootsie wootsie boy to the ultimate cute shiat now, unbelieveable stuff. I've known quan since p4 till now, we were even schl mates since 1999? haha, we couldn't be schl mates for 2008 and of course 2009 but our friendship still hold strong! all our failed mugging sessions in 2008 still fresh in my mind, rmb blasting songs and erny guitar and the ipod with bon jovi live in BK and the disgusting M&Ms. God, now i know why my results sucked. =P
If i were to rob a bank, i would ask teng wee. uh huh. Hes the guy whom i will go through thick and thin with, considering all the stuff (good and bad but mostly bad) we've been through already. He's been a real buddy to me and one who can tahan my incessant crap. Though we weren't schl mates in 2008, 2008 still saw us played lotsa crazy soccer (and dangerous sliding) softball and whatnots. haha. Hes just one person who i wish that when i'm in trouble, he will be right beside me saying "fuck that was fun!" =) Thanks alot my buddy! The only downside to you is that u are a destroyer and like to destroy my room. and who can forget ur crazy softball throws?!
En Hao brought Bon Jovi in my life and hes a really great person to study and hang out with. Dramas make the world go round and 2008 saw us swapping tonnes of secrets and boy and girl issues haha. My lips are sealed, i wont say a word! He's really nitrogen (N2? Geddit?) about softball and all the sb sessions we had at the cage was fun ttm!
NK, my er hu buddy, haha, what can i say? i will bring him along if i were to rob a bank too but knowing him, he'll chicken out be4 the time arrives!
2008 also saw me knowing some new awesome friend like..
HG! haha the story goes: this girl pei ying (not her real name) decided to play a prank on the uber cute guy jw(not his real name) and she penned a lovey dovey love letter to him, addressing him as Honey boy! hha aka HB, and thats how the name came out. haha. HG has been a great person to be with and shes good entertainment on the occasional 55 bus rides we take home. Hopefully, ur luck will change for the better in 2009! Both in life and mj!
Then theres lydia! Aka Shi fu in terms of cuteness and funniness. Shes a really great friend to be with and i feel very comfortable chatting with her. I was lucky enough to have her as my fellow OGL and my mass dance partner too! We would frequently try to unravel the secret on why we are born so cute but to no avail. hmm. lol perhaps that is why i had to send her home to her ultrauberulu hdb when we hang out till late at night. Though i have to sacrifice myself by jeopardizing myself to those perverts out there, its all worth it yea. Anw, i really think its unsafe for girls to go home so late in SK, so many perverts out there!
Then theres the one person who can compete with zi quan, julynn! We met in P4 and were monitor and monitress in p6! We've been friends since and who can forget those stupid nights on msn when we'll just crap rubbish and gossip. ah yes, its nice to gossip with dear monitress! Fate allowed us to become schoolmates again and i really cherish our friendship. Afterall, we even org the 6 faith bbq this year (it was a success btw) and that goes to show how capable we all are! Oh and all the hk serial dramas we love so much haha. I even lent her some of my O lvl notes and allowed her to come to VJ! I rock yea. Hopefully our friendship can last till 2038 or even 2080 or even 2123 or.. argh u get the drift. Thanks a trillion my beloved monitress!
That would be literally friends forever.
Summary and recap of 2008
1. VJC
2. CHSCO
3. 02 OGL
4. Promos
5. Taiwan trip with ohana
6. PW
7. MJ!
8. ARC
Air rifle club realli has the potential to succeed. At times, i really feel i am not putting enough effort as an exco, but i will try and try harder. I am grateful to the club and the opportunity that has been handed to me. The laughter, fun, joy and support the club and the members have given me this past year is really wonderful and i would never experience it elsewhere. I cherish my time in the club and i feel the exco, jun han, esmond, chai li, audrey, wei yao and chiah hock are an exceptional bunch and we'll do well. We have the right combination and lets push tgt to our target. No doubt it would be tough and strenous next year, i have the belief that we can reach to that level we all deserve, the very best. I have seen massive improvement from all the members and the determination and extra effort each and every member is willing to put in. Lets do it not for others and whatever, lets do it for ourselves!
As an arsenal fan, 2008 has been an eventful year for us. I can still rmb that damned night when dudu broke his leg at birmingham and the downward spiraling of our entire season since all the way to the heartbreak of losing in all 4 competitions and to this year's talented and inconsistent batch. No matter what, we must never give up on them, no one ever gives up on The Arsenal.
Heroes come and go. Passion is forever
And rightly so too.
Glory will arrive one day, i'm sure.
2008 has made me understand a lot of new and fresh stuff which i never knew i could experience. I've realised how important friends can be in our lives and how we should cherish them. Above all, i've realised how family can even be more important in our lives. Any and i mean ANY relationship can turn sour overnight but family ties will always last the test of time, always. I love my family very much, my father, mother, brother and sister. I'm a lucky boy to have such a family, a family that will stand by me no matter what i do (erm i'm good boy).
I'm finally 17, at long last. Its another 360 days before i turn 18 in which i will have (i hope) come of age. 2008 was an enjoyable year and lets brace ourselves, for wadeva that may be thrown towards us in 2009.
Theres just so much to learn and reflect from 2008, i will die typing if i have to list everything out.
I'm looking forward to 2009! C'mon you gunners too!
Goodbye 2008

I'm feeling like a monday
Howdy, but someday i'll be saturday night.
Money comes and go, thats for sure. No doubt about that. Shan't elaborate. uh huh.
Arsenal are in the title race. We probably have 0.5% chance of winning the treble this year. So yea, mathematically its still possible. 8 pts away from liverpool and probably 9 pts from chelsea after tonight. hmm, one aerosmith's song comes to mind... erpz.. erm...
Got it!
Dream On
I've to cut down on Mj, been winning crazy money and losing it away bit by bit. Gambling sucks. If you gamble, you better stop. I mean it.
But then again, how can life be exciting if you do not gamble? Gambling makes our lives more interesting, dont you agree?
Had primary 6 class gathering (shock). Primary six class is like from 2003 can, eons ago. And i'm quite proud to say i managed to invite more than 20 of us back. The number might have went up to 30 if they didn't so unlucky (damn unlucky man) fall sick on friday. uh huh, falling sick on fridays is very common one hor.
Nevertheless, it was fun! c'mon, i organised it, what do you expect? Carrying the food from downtown east to Mrs Choo's condo was no fun, it was torturous. And since the only help i had at that time was from my beloved monitress, i had to act hero a bit and carry the majority of the load, which explains my sore arms (But that didn't stop me from mjing!) Good job from both of us as we carried the bloody heavy stuff to the condo where we met Mrs Choo and her 2 cutie pies, while we waited expectantly for our dear primary class mates.
It was darn great to see them all again duh, even the long lost ones like qi xuan and IVAN TAN (SHOCK, big time) The water bottle man, holey ivan tan. haha ok, enough of that dude, the original bbq fire wasn't that strong because of some really unforeseen circumstances and we had to like restart the fire twice to finish BBQing 80% of the food. I dare say if the rest of the class who didn't come came, we would have finished the food. We planned the BBQ to perfection!
So it was the usual talk cock, photo taking, scandals (like those really ancient ones like ZQ & KL, Ben & Steph, Me & the rest of the class) Even getting into the rather warm water was fun. Those were moments money cant buy, meeting up with old (I think they fall into this category, even though i lived only 17 yrs of my pathetic life) friends really feel good. Like totally. yea totally.
My only regret was that i didn't manage to persuade everyone to come back, but i'm not discouraged! Last year we had 18 but this year we had 20. That two more, you maths noob. At this rate, we'll get the entire class by year 2015.
Monitress is fearing the thought of us being all 30 year olds. Frankly, i cant imagine that happening now, but hopefully there will still be a 6 faith gathering when that time arrives. Its a frightening yet exciting thought isn't it? What lies ahead of us all is certainly food for thought... hmm
Alright man, heres a few thousand words for you all!

I've made mistakes, i'm just a man
Howdy, today's blog will not be about arsenal, nono.
Its gonna be about the love of my musical life, Bon Jovi.
If you are a fan of the jonas bros or whatever shitty boy bands or rapper, then sucks to be you. You're obviously missing out a lot (and i mean it) by not listening to Bon Jovi. Now i'm not saying all his songs are perfect.
but just take a look at this
Its great to have such great music in your life

Pure perfection.
From 1 min 59 seconds that part where richie and jon combine their voices, too beautiful.
Its great to have such great music in your life
I'll be there when the stars don't shine, till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
Always

Beautiful football all around
Howdy, its 100th post and i think the UCL is a very entertaining competition to watch. It is no wonder we call it Champions League. A league for champions, no less.
Arsenal got walloped 2-0 by Porto and for dunno how many times this season, we deserved it. Despite watching only 30 min of the match, it doesn't take a rocket scientist with IQ 240 to notice that Song, Diaby, Denilson are crappish and crap. Sometimes it makes us wonder where is all the 'quality' wenger claims to see every trng. Nevertheless, we qualify as second best in our group and thats certainly not the worst option around (barca aside, gulps). Finishing 1st might see us matching up against real, inter and sharks like those. Its never gonna be easy in the UCL.
Speaking of beautiful football, i managed to spend some of my time watching Lyon vs Bayern and what an amazing match that was. Despite going down 3-0 by halftime, Lyon almost fought back and lost to a mere 3-2. What scared the hell out of me was the ability of Karim Benzema.
I repeat, Karim Benzema. This guy will become a god. In one or two years, teams will start paying stupid money like 120 million pounds jus to get both of his legs.
He's too good to be true. Apart from his pace (which is very speedy as well), he is very much like a young Henry. Only that Henry was a wee bit faster than him i feel. But benzema plays with elegance and flair which makes any soccer neutral salivate. He has amazing balance and strength, a superb first touch, can head the ball, can power the ball, has the composure to finish, dribbles with head up, holding up ball, searching for teammates in crowded scenarios (Like DB10), wide range of passing skills, speedy pace and acceleration and hes young and FRENCH. The last point is enough to prove that Wenger is dreaming of him as arsenal striker every single night when he sleeps. Benzema is too impressive and i only hope he doesn't end up with chelsea or Man utd.
Apart from that, i noticed that most european teams have a considerable strong midfield compared to arsenal. Lyon's toulalan and makoun are very good. So is veloso for sporting lisbon. Arsenal obviously needs quality like those to play alongside fabregas.
Its 20 days to the transfer window. For the first time in my arsenal-supporting life, i have to say, Wenger must sign one, if not two quality midfielders.
It is our only hope of any glory this season.
No, depending on Diaby and Song and Denilson will not get you the title. They are, at best, good squad players but not 1st team Arsenal quality.
Its a long way to the end of season.
C'mon you gunners!

Fighting spirit.
Howdy, our young young guns have finally succumbed in the CC. Not that it is extremely disappointing, but no doubt there will be some disappointment and regret. No worries, they'll grow much more from this.
Speaking of fighting spirit, there is one thing in this world that has been the strongest shit on earth. Introducing my very own tablet PC! IIRC, i thought my dear tablet has crashed itself out some months ago and the entire intel wireless hardware was cocked up inside. Miraculously, i left it for 1 day plus and it healed itself. Amazing stuff. But just yesterday, it outdid itself.
I was installing some mozilla crap when my comp just needed to restart shitself. What followed was a series of Blue Screens. Yea, u heard it, blue screens of death. Any retard with some computer knowledge will tell you getting blue screens is like getting cancer IRL. You may cure it temporarily but it will defeat you in the bitter end. Anw, in the wake of my tablet's sudden and shocking demise, i tried to revive it in whatever possible way a human (and a smart one at that) can do, but to no avail. at 12.38 am december 2008, i proclaimed my tablet PC dead.
Just when i thought my tablet uplorried, it decided to fight back.
Like the cheerleader from heroes, my dear tablet just fought back and clawed its way to revival. Imagine my happiness when i found it working this noon. All the backup and stuff are settled obviously, in case of any relapse. But this tablet has really been with me though thick and thin, PW, O lvls, crappy projects, essays, games, music, what nots. Though its old and can be frustrating noisy and hot at times, i have grown to love my tablet very much. So thank god, thank god for bringing back my tablet to me, to me!
The fact that i am typing this blog from my very own tablet makes me happy. =)
A healthy tablet makes me happy.
Thats 99th post for you! I will make sure the 100th 1 will be from my tablet itself!
God, i love you, dear tablet PC!
