And you thought Niki was mean ...

Thinking back, I have lost count on the number of times people (especially people from the opposite gender) say that I am very mean when I comment on girls … Well, the thing is, I’ve lived a big portion of my life with my dad’s close friends (Yes, one of them is Uncle Bob, for those of you who have been privileged enough to meet him, you know what I’m talking about), and that has obviously shaped the person that I am today … One of the more famous jokes from uncle Bob, that I’ve used as well …

Scenario 1
Uncle Bob: Wah, look at that girl !!!
Niki: Huh? Which wan?!?!?
Uncle Bob: That one there la …
Niki: That fat wan ?
Uncle Bob: Yea, her thighs are sooooo big, they should be on a cow !!!
Niki: *Laughs hysterically*

Yes, I do think that some girl's thighs look like that ...

Scenario 2
Uncle Bob: eh, look at that *signals girl*
Niki: Uhuh…
Uncle Bob: When she sits down rite … it's like she has sand dunes on her stomach …
Niki: *ROFL*

Then I came to the UK, and forgot all the sarcasm, that came along with my dad’s friends … I was reminded of it once again when I went back to M’sia during last year’s summer break … but the joke that takes it all, has to be from Uncle Lin when he was in Birmingham for the Masters Hockey Tournament.

Uncle Lin: Look at the size of those jugs …
Niki: Erm, that’s quite normal in the UK …
Uncle Lin: I bet if I import a few of them … I could open a factory and compete with Dutch Lady … my brand would be called “English Lady”
Niki: *Speechless*

And when the tournament ended, and everyone went back to M’sia, the sarcasm stopped … until … I met my new coach, Coach Chris …

1st Scenario
Chris: So who did XXXX bring home this week ?
Steve: Oh, he brought YYYY back …
Chris: Goodness, what was he thinking ? Bringing a tub of margarine home !!!
Niki: *Laughs hysterically*

2nd Scenario
Chris: What’s happening on the field?
Niki: Erm, I dunno, looks like some old women trying to play hockey ….
*walks to the pitch, sees the women there, whom aren’t the skinniest of people*
Chris: Good lord, that’s like cellulite city on the field !!!

So for all of you that think that I’m still mean after reading this post …
1. You obviously haven’t met the people that influence me.
2. You have not realised that there are much meaner people compared to me around.
3. Lastly, You have no sense of humour.

Evidence

Well, this post is due a certain threat that I've received lately ... Serious Sam ( Not his real name .... you noe who you are ... Yes, yes, U SERIOUS SAM !!!), Ed, Jon, Topher, Funlynn and all other random variables in my life ... If i do not make it past tomorrow ... the following picture would show you why ... please find the person responsible and avenge me / report to relevant authorities .... as a matter of fact, putting ur names here might mean that I've put ur lives in danger as well .... =S

Update: I am now living in fear *chill runs down spine*

Chinese New Year @ Bristol

It's that time of year again, where red is prolly the most important colour ... with ppl wearing red clothes, and aunties and uncles giving out red packets ... however, waking up on Chinese New Year Eve this year was different, as a matter of fact VERY differet from what i was accustomed to ... The typical Chinese New Year Eve in M'sia would revolve around, waking up really early in the morning, which would then continue with the battling of the traffic to get back to Tapah (which is about 45 minutes before Ipoh, if you're coming from KL) and end with a reunion dinner, where everyone starts drinking about 6 ... although everyone only really eats dinner at 7-ish .... and the best part of it all is dinner does not stop there, as we will then proceed on with a BBQ for supper .... and this would not end till the wee hours of the morning ....

CNY eve in Bristol however, started off rather differently, with me waking up late (when compared with the time I have to wake up in M'sia) .... attending lectures and then having lunch with Teng for a bit .... before she left to see her supervisor, and get ready ... Continuing on, PELACURs were at mine at 5.45, although meet time SUPPOSED to be at 1800 hours .... but as usual, M'sian timing NEVER let's us down, and everyone was really only ready at about 6.20 ...

So due to certain individuals, we missed the bus, however, that could have been seen as a blessing in disguise as it gave everyone a chance to mingle around abit and get into the festive mood before even reaching the restaurant ....

The guys of PELACUR LLP ... "Erm, Ed, u do realise it's Ching Chong New Year's Ever rite ? Not halloween?" From Left to Right: Jonathan Chan, Christopher Leong, Edward Saw & Niki Poon

On the bus. From Left to Right: Me, Topher, Jon and Ed

The restaurant that we went to, Dynasty, supposedly had a very good reputation and was even described by certain food critics as "Dynasty is to Chinese food what Porsche is to cars"

The main entrance of Dynasty.

I must admit however, that unlike Mayflower, this place does have rather impressive Deco, but then again, the important thing about a restaurant, is not it's outlook but rather it's food .... Heck, that why, me, ikmal and Ian have always believed Nasi Lemak Asia ( Now everyone can eat Nasi Lemak !!! =D ... rite mal ? yes? no? )

Anyways, upon walking into the restaurant, we were greeted by many familiar faces (no, not the waiters) ... It was the Derek himself and the BA ppl, which were suprisingly very un-m'sian as they were very ON TIME ...

"Wah Derek, didn't know u were working there ?" ... =P ... In the Picture: Derek Soh

Not only were they on time, the karaoke, had apparently started already !!! And here we thought no one was going to sing, and we were going to have a hard time convincing others to sing ... =S ... From Left to Right: Random Variable & Wei Ho

Upon being seated at the tables we were greeted by something rather familiar ... "Could that be ? Could it just be?"

Yes they were Red Packets or more affectionally known as Ang Pows !!! ... but unlike usual Ang Pows ... these had a twist to them, those who were lucky enough to get an Ang Pow with a bell, would then be asked to perform a song of his/ her choice later on in the evening ...

And soon dinner was served, but just before starters, we were treated to a "suprise piano performance" by Tory which wasn't much of a suprise anymore with the keyboard that was displayed from much ealier giving it away. In this picture: Tory & Casio Privia Keyboard

Starters: Crispy Duck.

But there were some other suprises in store for everyone, actually more like for Topher. Who seems to be at the receiving end of quite a number of Alubas (one Aluba per celebration so far, Christmas & CNY, prolly Valentines and Merdeka to come!!! ) In this Picture: Topher

Random Variable Dish. Don't know what it's called.

Crabs

Lobsters

The coke bottles did make us feel abit nostalgic ... remember back then when Coke used to come in them nice bottles? and you could later play "Bottle Caps"? =D

"Ok ppl. serious face please" ... Funlynn not quite getting the concept =S ...

And soon, the karaoke started .... and although Franky was supposed to start the ball rolling, he somehow managed to escape and pass the liability ( sorry for the use of A&F (Accounting and Finance) terms, it's in my blood =S ) on to Fei Kiat & Hsieh Ni

The crowd did however seem rather happy with that .... The exact reason as to whether they were happy because Fei Kiat and Hsieh Ni were going to sing a duet, or the fact that Frankie was no longer singing, remains a mystery ... From Left, Clockwise: Sindy To, William Chung, Jon, Topher (partially blocked), Me, Ed, Funlynn, Hui Shun, Wei Chyi, Shir Chee and Naoki

Ferlynn and Ed looking rather emotional .... with Topher joining the mood .... Ppl in the background couldn't seem to care less ... =P

And soon, Niki Poon found the mike ... It was not a pretty sight as soon there was nothing but cacophony in Dynasty.

Ed and me ... "standing on the rooftops, screaming our lungs out ... erm i mean, in the Ching Chong restaurant, screaming our lungs out"

Duet with Ms. Low Siang Chuan ... "Zai Jian Bei Ji Xue" ... No guys, I'm still alive =D ... From Left to Right: Jon, Siang Chuan, Tory, William, Me and Billy Lee

And soon, EVERYONE found their way to the mike .... =S ( Ed, you know what i'm talking about ... don't you? =D )

Random Pic ... From Left to Right: Topher, Funlynn, Jo May and Me

The accountants for the night ... with Derek giving me and Teng a scare when he claimed that the money he collected was insufficient .... only to realise that he had counted wrongly.... moral of the story ? Leave the organising to the BA ppl, and the money handling to the A&F ppl ... =P ... Hands from Left to Right: Niki Poon, Derek Soh, Teng Teng

Feeling abit stressed when Derek had ter-counted wrongly.... From Left to Right: Niki Poon, Derek Soh & and hint of Teng2

Would have loved to end this post with the group photo that was taken, but have not been furnished with them by George ... Would upload them in time to come .... Till then, Laterz ...

Brownies @ Flat 1, Carroll Court

Having passed up her AIC draft, and having too much free time on her hands (cos she's not clubbing =P), Ms. Renee Shaqirah, decides to bake some Brownies ... I hope their really baked and homemade la (not like the herbal cupcakes I had the last time ... but that's another story ... hahahaha ...) .... and has an impromptu Brownies Party at where-else-but-the-most-happening-carroll-court-flat .... House 1 ... =D ... which is also where yours truly resides ...

The person responsible for it all ... (Renee a.k.a. Son)

Lab Rat #1 (Shake a.k.a. Ton)

Lab Rat #2 & #3 (From right to left: Yours Truly a.k.a. Bapak Ayam =S and Edward a.k.a. Providence a.k.a. Papa Bear) (this picture was not taken at press time, picture thanks to Associated Press)

Lab Rat #4 (Ferlynn a.k.a. Funlynn a.k.a Fron a.k.a. Fern) (Picutre was also not taken at press time, picture thanks to Facebook !!! =P)

The Verdict? Well, they say a picture paints a million words

When Renee first reached ...

After a few minutes ...

After a few more minutes ...

In all seriouness I think I've prolly just tasted the BEST homemade brownies in my life ... =D ... Thanks to Ms. Renee Shaqirah, who made them glorious brownies ... according to Funlynn (whom I wholeheartedly agree with only for this instance) the only thing missing was prolly the Vanilla Ice Cream, otherwise it would have been perfect ...

Kudos to Renee ... =D

P.s. If we all do not make it to lectures tomorrow, u guys will know y la ... =S ...hahahahaha

Turning 22 ...

Yeap, the title kinda gives it away .... Honestly, can say that I had one of the MOST memorable (u guys know y lar !!! ) as well as best Birthday party this year, although it would have been better if Ian Teoh, Ikmal (u made up for it, since u came later), Kyrsty Leong, Renee Tan, Ooi Ai Ling, Sze Mun, Renee Shaqirah, EDWARD SAW (ur name is in bold, cos u were supposed to be around, but due to unforseen circumstances .... went missing) and other Random Variables (if ur name is not mentioned, than u should fit ur name here ... =D) were around ...

Thanks for the cards ppl ... =D

20th December 2007 (The eve)
The day started of ordinarily enough with all of us waking up at about lunch time .... and then decided to go to Sains to get some shopping done, as we were out of food ... as we were walking aroud Sains, Jonathan gets happy and wants to buy this humungous Turkey, only for topher and me to stop him as it was going to take a million years to cook it .... But Jon being Jon, and wanting to cook something special, puts it back, only to take something even harder to cook ...

Jon and his "pet salmon"

Yes, ppl, a whole Salmon (which would not fit into the oven/ grill, and the only feasible way of cooking it would have been to put it into the BBQ pit) ... He then turns around and looks at me and topher and says, "Eh, I thought the two of u are scouts, shouldn't have a problem starting fire rite?" ... Feeling challenged, we replied, "Of course can la !!! but u do realise it's winter rite?" ... Only for him to say, "We're in uni now if we dun do Sohai things now, then when you guys wanna do it?" .... Which left the both of us *speechless* ... So we went back, and started the fire, which attracted the attention of alot of passer-bys whom were like "omg, are they doing a BBQ in winter?" ...

Anyways, we were so caught up in cooking the fish, we paid no attetntion to them .... and soon ... Dinner was served ....

and then, there was the cake ... =D

From the Left: Topher, Me, Siang Chuan, Shake (With cap), Teng2, Hsieh Ni, Funlynn & Jon

21st December

Woke up at about noon, with Topher and Jon appearing at my door step after a while, as we were all hungry, we decided to cook the lamb that we bought the previous day, but as it took a million years, we decided to go to sains to buy more food (and drinks) as we left the lamb there to cook on it's own .... As we were just about to leave Sains, in came Teng2, Siang Chuan etc etc, telling me that there was a "suprise" waiting for me tonight .... which honestly, sent chills down my spine ... I like suprises, but not when it's from Teng2 and especially not when she says "suprise" in the most suspicious of tones ... =S

Dinner with Teng2 started of normally enough (with a bit of camwhoring), and nothing being particularly suspicious, except the timing, which as usual, was M'sian which meant we were all served dinner later than stated ...

After dinner, that's about the time it all went downhill, with me receiving an aluba (is that how u even spell it?)

And then being blindfolded, and asked to stand in the center, before the "Flour and Water Balloon" wars started !!! =S

The Aftermath ....

With the person who organised my Birthday Party / Downfall ... hahahhaha ...

With everyone else...

The night ended, with the remainder of us (who could still walk/sober) heading out to the club .... I am quite sure that there were pics from the club, but can't seem to find them anywhere ... Will upload them once I find them ... =D ... Will end this post with random pictures, that were taken during my Birthday ... =D

Billy had one too many ... =S
Khim & me (still think u look fine, although u were abit red ... at least u weren't rambling on and on about nonsensical stuff that nite ... hahahaha ... =D)
Showing the fish some LLUURRVVVEEE ...
Misha Poon: Ever the camwhore ...
Jon: the salmon is all mine, it's mine, my precious !!! ...

Hockey @ Bristol

Really have been wanting to blog about Hockey in bristol, which includes the fun that i had last Easter that was Bournemouth as well as on winning the BUSA Western Conference Division 1 League.

The UWE Men's first team had a brilliant outing last year, as we played in Division 1 in the BUSA Western Conference League, and won the league ... We were supposed to be promoted to Premiership this year as we had beated Reading Uni 2-1, coming from a goal down, in the play-offs .... but we then had to play Oxford Brookes, due to technical rules and loss 7-1, and were therefore not promoted .... We did however, go out that day ... and got ourselves SMASHED !!!

Just after winning the league ...

@ Stonehouse

Still @ Stonehouse

The Beater made for the team, after winning the League ...

Need I say more ? =D

The best part of the shirt, it has my name ... =D

Now, to some more "serious" stuff, Bournemouth Easter Hockey Tour ... I can safely say that this has been a tournament unlike no other, and would be engraved in my mind for years to come ...

The Camp Site...

With some of the guys after setting up the campsite ...

EBG (Elite Beverage Group)

We DO NOT believe in using pint glasses ... we'd rather drink from Jugs ... =D (From Left to Right: Codders, Nova, Will and Jasper)

Robyn & me

Lauren Wee & me

When we were done with the campsite ... =S

All in all, Bournemouth was amazingly fun, but sadly do not think I'll be going this year as it's my final year, and would need as much time as possible on the books ... *sighs* .... On a more serious note, this year, the team is in a very different position than it was in last year, in order to win the league this year, we would need to win our final two games .... and hope the team that's on top slips in order for us to win ... with fingers crossed and abit of luck, we might just be able to do it ... but am highly doubtful that we would be able to win it again this year.

2007 In a Nutshell (the re-opening of Nikiville ... Hopefully it will stay open this time... )

So, I've decided to re-open my blog, it has been ages since I updated my blog ... Honestly, have lost the motivation to blog and stuff .... but now, i think it's a good way to keep my friends (namely, Ian, Kyrsty, Icky/ Confused/ Ikmal/ whatever-he-wants-to-call-himself, Renee, Sze Mun, Ai Ling etc etc etc) in M'sia and all other parts of the world, updated on my latest escapades.

So, what have i been doing lately, upon coming back to the UK, after an amazing 2 months in bright and sunny M'sia, I find myself single and available again, due to certain unforseen circumstances ... Which actually has turned out to be quite a blessing in disguise ... =D Anyways, back to the point, shortly upon coming back, PELACUR LLP was incoporated, being the brainchild of our very own sexy hot anak ayam, Shake ... The idea of PELACUR LLP was however stolen / stealed-ded / taken without permission from Icky's "bodoh macam pelacur" joke, but who carez ... For the record, would like to give a shoutout to ALL PELACUR LLP members, and say thank you for everything, u guys have brightened up my life at it's dullest moments !!! =D Clubbing with u guys, have also brought about a whole new meaning to clubbing, with Fresher's Fair being the epitome of it ... Anyways, honestly, love how PELACUR LLP is now considered like an official group, with ppl asking are PELACUR's going to this event or that event ? hahahaha ...

Members of PELACUR LLP ... =D

Apart from that, the new hockey coach has also been amazing ... He has dedicated quite alot of his time on me, when i fractured my elbow, as he wrote up a fitness program for me to follow. Which has made my comeback to the team, after recovering from the elbow infjury easier as fitness was no longer an issue as it usually is with most athletes who are injured.

What else has happenned ? For starters, I now have a new haircut, thanks to ppl like Ed and Topher, as well as my very own hair stylist, Shake, who also doubles up as a fashion advisor along with renee ... =D (am loving the b'day pressie from u guys !!! =D )

Taken for Linda Lee, to show her the new hair cut, which turned out to be not so bad after all ... according to her ... =D

Anyways, 13th of December marked one of the happiest days of my life, as that was the day i put in my AMA assignment, but more importantly, it was the eve of the arrival of my sister !!! After alot of arguments on the date of arrival, and departure, we finally managed to compromise ... wait, she compromised, to come on an earlier date ... =D ... Misha Poon, if u ever read this, (which i bet u would) i had a whale of a time with you around, although u did hog the computer and act as if it belonged to u .... but i shall forgive u, as u bring joy to my life .... as well as my friend's lives as well ... =D

And even when Misha Poon left the country to return to the hands of *we shall not name him* ... It got even better, with Britt and Ikmal visiting me, from Belgium ... Although u guys were only here for a few days, I must say, I had a LOT of fun having u guys here .... and I dun think i'm alone when I say that ... On another note, I found out things about Ikmal that I usually would not have found out .... and this happened when walking aroung London .... IKMAL IS THE BIGGEST CAMWHORE I KNOW, NEXT TO FUNLYNN AND MY SISTER !!! ... hahahhahahahah .... I think Funlynn would agree with me on this .... =D ...

Caught camwhoring at the London Eye...

Still Camwhoring ...

and still camwhoring ...

Would miss Cluedo and Risk with u guys !!! (for the note, Funlynn is prolly the worst RISK player that i noe ... hahahahahaha .... and Britt is a cheat .... hahahahaha .... and have to admit, that I'm prolly the worst Cluedo player ... =( ... Jon is to be banned from all board games as he is just TOO GOOD for all of us ... ) Also, thinking back, would not have expected to celebrate New Year's with Ikmal all the way in BRISTOL !!!! It was an amazing night, although the club that we went to was abit quiet but it was fun nonetheless ... hahahhahaha ... hope u had fun that night ... and remember what happened in 2007 stays in 2007 ... ahahahahahah ...

Was a very very tensed game ...

New Year's @ Stonehouse

2007 was great with many changes, but was made interesting as I made a few new friends along the way, a few of them being Jonathan Tan and Ms.Toh Lee Khim herself, and through her, a few other ppl, such as Janice (if u read this, sorry for mixing ur name up with Delonia's, I've to admit I'm horrible with names) June Lim and Delonia Chong. Also, special thanks to my new found BIATCH BEST FRIEND, Funlyn a.k.a. Ferl for making me laugh ... even though most of the time it's at u and might not necessarily be funny to u, as I'm laughing at u .... but u have made me laugh nonetheless ... so thank u ... =D ... hahahahhahaha ....

That's all for now, I think i shall wind up my horribly long post ... will blog more in time to come ... =D

Till we meet

I was going to give up blogging for good, as i was starting to think that it was a blardy big waste of time, but i think i need to start blogging, as i justcan't keep all these emotions bottled up inside.

Once upon a time, in A-Levels, I performed the song "I'll be missing you" by P.Diddy, which was written in tribute by P.Diddy for the Notorious B.I.G, at that point of time, although the song was a very meaningful song, it held little meaning to me, as never have i lost anyone important. Well, that has changed now and the lyrics now hold a very significant meaning to me.

Dear Nick,

Our friendship was one of a kind, it was one of the purest of friendships, and it was one of strongest. The three of us were always together, and through good and bad, and it was during the bad times, where our friendship became even stronger.

Remember the times we would go and watch movies cos Ian's mom got us free vouchers, and the times we would lepak at ur Western food shop (may it be Subang, Cheras or SS3), and the times we would play foosball and argue who's the best amongst us? We did spend a good half of our lives in Club 7, and then racks, and that pub in Klang, but sadly we never did play togehter at Asia Cafe did we?

Remember in form 5? We played hockey for the school and kicked DJ in the ass? Remember that goal, that was a clean goal but somehow came through the netting and we played like nothing happened? We wouldn't have reached the semi's if it wasn't for you. Your heroics in goal kept us in more times than any of us can remember.

You know, it was not too long ago, we were sitting down and BBQ-ing (for the older generation), having a few beers, and talking about how our kids were gonna BBQ for us, when we got old. Well, doubt that will happen anymore. And i don't think we will ever be able to have anymore of your "special sauce" and laugh about that crazy girl at Crystal's party who "loves" you, and most important of all we won't have your company anymore.

What happened to the promise of the three of us ALWAYS being together? You were supposed to always be around to look out for us!!! Now who is going to do that? It was a promise!!! We were supposed to drink together when we got back, you said you'll WAIT!!! Why didn't you? Now who's going to partner Ian when we play foos? and who's gonna be our third musketeer?

It's gonna be different without you. You were always there for us and we were always there for you and it was the greatest times of our live. My only regret is I couldn't be there for you on that day. If only you gave me a call, i promise you I would have been back. Why didn't you at least call?

When Renee called me with such urgency, i knew something was wrong, however, you were the least of my concerns, do you know why? Cos i knew you would always pull through, that you'd be okay. But not this time. When renee started her sentence with Nick, i was waiting for mom or dad or something to come next. Not is dead! Do you know the state of shock i was in?

Anyways, what's done is done, and as corny as it sounds, i wish this was all a dream, a nightmare that i could wake up from but i don't think it is. All i can say is R.I.P. and till we meet again.

Brothers Forever,
Niki Poon

Sleepless in Bristol!!!

So, here I am, in Bristol living one of my childhood dreams of studying in the UK (the other one is to play nationals). It's been almost 5 weeks since i have been in Bristol and I must admit, as much as I enjoy the student live here (will explain more in detail later), i do miss EVERYONE back home. Especially my two dogs, without Goldie, i have NOBODY to scold. Sighs.

Anyways, Bristol has been nothing short of fun. It's been really great for me (i speak for myself only) as i was selected to play for the Uni's First Team (Yes, first team, they have four hockey teams here for guys and another four for girls!!!) and have been travelling quite a bit (was in Cardiff last week, lost to them 5-3, but it was a friendly so no one cares, will kick their ass during the British University's Sports Association games). I consider myself quite lucky as i have also been selected to play for Bristol HC so i get to play even more hockey. Then of course there are the Hockey social nights which are totally insane nights (won't go into the details, some might find it too offensive and others might just get a culture shock) but are just so expensive. Just the transportation alone will set you back by at least 5 pounds (that's RM35) , and drinks prolly another 15 pounds (that's around RM105) so that's quite abit of money, and that's why i haven't been out on too many socials.

Anways, enough about hockey, was in town the other day (with CS and Jerry). Cs had to go for an interview and Jerry had to go collect his new LG phone (oooppss, i mean Lucy's, hahhahaha) and we were walking around town and went into this totally magnificent cathedral (will upload the pics later on) which made me start to wonder, how come i've stopped going to church? Well, my excuse has always been that I'm to busy with hockey, but how true is that? or is that just another excuse made up by me due to my laziness? I honestly have no idea. :(

Well, i guess that's all for now, will write again when u have more stuff to write about.

PrEsSuRe!

This years MAS tournament will be held this weekend. I wasn’t supposed to play at first because it was during exam period; however since I only have GBC left, I was thinking like what the heck. So I told my dad on Wednesday, that I’ll play, and ever since then the pressure has been pilling up for me to deliver. You see we won the tournament last year (I put in 2 goals in the final, we won 2-1). There was however, a big difference between last year and this year. Last year I wasn’t carrying a groin injury, an injury that has prevented me from going to Sukma.
Sighs, for a while, I thought it had gone a way, but just yesterday it came back again. It’s like this recurring sickness that never goes away. It’s been a horrible annoyance. Don’t know how long exactly it will take to heal. My only hope is that, it will not get more serious tomorrow as I have another tournament next week in Jakarta.
Sighs, hope I’ll be able to deliver tomorrow. And my groin injury won’t bug me anymore.

Guess who's back ?

A lot has changed since my last post. It’s been more than a year since I was last visited (yes, u read it right, visited) my blog, let alone update it. A quick recap of my life for the past one year.

June 2005 – August 2005 = Got a job in EY as a vacation trainee/intern.
August 2005 – December 2005= Joined Taylor’s/ Had damn a lot of fun / single and loving it
January – 7 May 2006 = Still in Taylor’s / still having damn a lot of fun / no longer single
7 May 2006 – Now = No longer having fun as exams have started … Haihzz

The whole exam so far has been nothing short of a nightmare … Nightmare because I haven’t had the chance to sleep properly for the last few nights … and when I finally have the chance to sleep now … I can’t … I suddenly become like this hyper active person … going for jogs in the middle of the night … haihzz … anyways, this post is just the beginning of many more posts to come … so do come back ... ENDZ …

Living Up To Expectations

This post is due to someone called sunblock girl ... She expected her NAME to be here .... but then again i don't like MENTIONING NAMES ... So ... hehehehhe ... Just so u know, sunblock girl got her name because she uses excessive amounts of sunblock ... i mean the amount she uses in a day prolly can last me for like my entire lifetime (that's cos i dun use sunblock) ... hehehehehehhehe ... sorry sunblock ... just couldn't resist the temptation ... Food for thought, start your own blog so u can shoot me ... =P ...heheheheheh ... just jk ... hope u dun get mad ....

Changes That I See

Just a few months ago my life was dominated by hockey ... Honestly, as much as I love the game, I can’t honestly say I played it for “the love of the game” … Vitamin M (MONEY LAR!!!) played quite a big contributing factor … Of course hockey has in one way or another shaped who I am, but going back to the rover crew has brought even more meaning to my life … For once I can truly say I’m doing something out of passion, for once I can say I’m doing something good, for once I can say I’m helping people without expecting anything in return … but that’s barely the point … The thing is every once in a while we look for new things that bring meaning to our lives … Going back to the Rover Crew has really brought lots of challenges and reminded me that life is not a basket of roses … Take the last dunk –in for example, we (namely me, fonzi and icky) had just about everything planned out (transport, equipment, man power, etc etc) … For a while everything was going according to plan …. But after that everything started going wrong, people started cancelling, all of a sudden I loose the backing of the BU Scout Master (something along the lines of “I have my own reasons why I don’t want the girls to go” … I was like wtf cause the girls in BU are ANYTIME better than the boys and are definitely more capable of taking care of themselves), I get teachers calling students trying to prevent them from helping out (These students are coming on their own, it has nothing to do with the school and therefore the school should have NO SAY!!!) … As said earlier, it has thought me two things, one of it being human factors, what is said and what is done at the end of the day are two VERY different things … The other being, to always have a plan B … When I was given the news that I couldn’t have any of the BU scouts, I was totally caught with my pants down … This was because after the BU Scout Master told me that there I had the BU scouts to my disposal, I didn’t plan for anything to go wrong (didn’t think of parent’s approval, school approval). I took it for granted that BU was like Seaport, able to take the scouts as and when I need them … Having said all that, I can’t exactly say going back to the Rovers hasn’t had any benefits … It has reminded me of the heartache, planning and problems one goes through handling a project … It is never easy and it has definitely thought me a thing or two about planning …. =) …

New Joy In Life

Just so all of you know this joy is NOT a girl ... Life has more meaning than just pretty girls (yeah right!!) … Anyways, It was three weeks ago (25th March 2005) when my Scout Master (James) called me and asked me to go and help train the scouts in Sekolah Menengah Bandar Utama … Apparently they are starting a new troop over there and their Scout Master (Saras) who is a long time friend of S.M. James, requested S.M. James to send some Rovers (ex-scouts) over there to organise a Troop Meeting and teach scouting basics like marching, knots, estimation, and first aid … Anyways, after he called me and explained everything to me, I agreed to do it cause it sounded like fun and besides, it was probably a one of thing … So the next morning we (Hafiz, Emmir, Icky and myself) met in school and got everything we needed (ropes, first aid equipment, compass) and then headed out to SMBU … Upon arrival we were greeted by S.M. Saras and 40 over excited and enthusiastic first time scouts … We then set out to do what we were there to do, which is to organise Troop meeting and teach them scouting basics … It was very different from what we usually do because in 28th P.J. most of the scouts there are already trained and the recruits were off a minority group (I.e. 10- 15 recruits) but over here we had 40 over FIRST TIME scouts who DID NOT know any basics … So anyways time flew by and soon it was time to say good bye (their troop meeting is very short, from 8.30 till 10.30, a normal troop meeting is from 7.30 till 1.00 ) … Matter of factly, we were quite happy it was over cause our patience were wearing thin (teaching a new concept to people will make anyone’s patience grow thin) and we were very tired … Just as we thought we could happily leave and NEVER return again we were invited back for another Troop Meeting … We weren’t obliged to say yes but we did, don’t ask me why we did, we just did … Anyways fast forward to the morning of 9th April 2005 (2nd Troop Meeting), we went there thinking most of the things we thought these people would have been forgotten, but we were so wrong … Not only did these people not forget the stuff we thought them, they improved and did much better on the activities we gave them the previous week … The magic word here being improved, we were quite shocked because these people actually took scouting seriously (they just didn’t seem like the kind) … Anyways, at the end of the troop meeting, we were asked by S.M. Saras whether or not we were interested in being the Pemimpin for that school … We were quick to say we had to talk to S.M. James about it first, but the fact was we were looking for a way out … Just as the kids heard us say we had to talk to S.M. James first, they all had these sad faces on and were like please stay and stuff … It made our hearts melt … It’s kinda hard to say no, but it’s also hard to say yes because of the amount of time, energy and commitment one has to put into it after saying yes … Anyways, after much thought and deliberation, I’ve decided to stay and so has Icky … =) … Anyways, I hope you (my reader) have had a happy time learning about my new joy in life … =) …
