haha i just came back from a full day of gatherings la had 2L'05 gathering in the morning and we played abit of soccer and talked abit of rubbish and we even saw miss tang! so long never see her already, since last year june. haha 1 year already and she still remembers all of us hahaha well i guess which teacher can forget me? hahha i go back to nanyang primary and all the teachers remember me but dont remember the rest. haha i guess i gave them all a tough time...

hahaah after that was lunch with the 2L'05 guys and they went to catch a movie while i went to find leonad at city hall where we met up before our gems camp cluster 3 gathering. haha

met him at citylink and we went to marina square to go bowling. hahaa all the lanes were full so we were made to go on the waiting list so i went to arcade to play street fighter vs marvel superheroes and i was playing damn pro then had to go cos we got a lane free! hahha so me and leonad played and my my i didnt do that badly for a guy who isnt really into bowling... haha bowled a 78 on my first try then did better with some of leonad's advice and had a 114 on my second try. not bad la for a beginner right! hahaha

then we met the cluster 5 people afterward at the area near carrefour there and we roamed very aimlessly till 6+ where we met other cluster 5 people for starbucks, which we had vouchers for, after winning them at gems camp. hahaha lucky the cluster 6 person not there sia, he very scary. hahaahha talked alot while drinking coffee/chocolate then roamed around esplanade and the bay area then went back to arcade! and this time, i beat the machine! woohoo! stupid machine i thrashed your ass sia! hahahah

anyway we are gonna have waterpolo trainings again in the new term! im going to go for some youth trainings, because they are gonna select a squad to represent singapore at junior asian championships or world juniors i forgot which one la hahaha so i just want to train myself and get into contention. hahha i dont know whether i will want to go whether im selected but i dont think i will la so i just go there and improve myself by training against higher level opposition lor hahha but if i get selected then dilemma lor. hahaha

and sailing nationals is gonna start! essentially, ill go for 3 days of school and only come back on the 9th of july. so i kinda have another 1 half week of mini holidays la, 28th june to 8th july. haahaha envious? :P sailing nats okay! my last chance at winning gold for the school. haha it should be tough la, with acsi being very strong but hey, they are strong every year so we gotta make do with that and sail hard! hahaha i know what my task will be anyway... (:

haha and our u20 competition concluded with a semi final loss to national u20 team 8-5 which i played half a match, and aiyah didnt play exactly very well but the loss wasnt very surprising anyway.. haha they are the national u20 team after all. but not bad la we beat the national u18 team anyway 13-6 wahahahaha thrashing! haha then in the third/fourth playoff, we met combined poly (again) and this time we thrashed them like 18-3 because they played half the match a man down, cos they didnt have enough players. haha but we had sportsmanship la so we played with one man staying back during that time to make it more even. haha after halftime belinda ooi from the national women's team joined them to help even the odds (even though shes from rjc) hahaha but we still ran out 18-3 winners. hahha so we ended the tournamenta s 3rd! haha not bad la. considering its a u20 competition... haha

anyway ill be working hard to regain my fitness and leg power! train train train its back to training if i want to realise my dream of winning a waterpolo gold at nationals. hahaha two years ive played b div and two years we've gotten fourth. hahaha maybe its me, but im ready to change that fact.

i have the heart, but do i have the mental toughness?

TEAM RAFFLES 13-6 NAT U18
TEAM RAFFLES 12-7 COMBINED POLY

hahaha we totally rock! we started off by losing to nat u20 by the score of 4-7, which was very close but in the end we screwed it up. haha i never play that match la cos yihong was there to play the whole match so in the end i just slack one side and watch. how boring! then the next match was against safsa, which i ponned to go sailing training, and they didnt have a keeper so they got slaughtered 21-5! hahaha alex and kennard had to alternate as keepers. hahahaha

then yesterday we played nat u18 and i had to go down and play the entire match. haha i was like really really nervous cos my job was kinda hanging on the line, cos they might dsa a keeper and i really had to put in a fantastic performance to prove my own worth. haha i think i did quite well in the match saved quite a few shots and did myself justice la, and saved a one on one too! hahahah played well la maybe that helped me to retain my job a little... seetow for keeper! anyway its quite ironic that the national u18 team can lose to team raffles whose oldest player is 18 years old and most of us are 16. haha :D

haha today we played combined poly who had the 3 national players in their side, but one of them didnt come. hahaha anyway i think byron is like damn damn damn pro omg i aspire to be like him sia! hahaha hes like really damn pro keeper one on one from wing cannot score against him one! haaha then in the third quarter he came out and played centreman and scored a hell lot of goals omg he is damn pro! ahaha i played two quarters here and not bad la, and i turned a guy from combined poly! we both chiong for the ball i reach first then i turn him omg so fun!



and let me blog about the GEMS camp. i think it was a great experience for me la, not only because of what i learnt there, but because of the friendships and the bonds that i built with others at the camp. hahaha i fit in very well with my cluster and i think we were the most bonded cluster among all the 6 that were there. (actually only got 5 clusters but the 6th cluster is special cluster sia) hahhah

first day was more of introducing us into the GEMS movement and allowing us to get to know our group members more. haha my cluster rocks la everyone is so fun! and our facilitators ally and leonad were both so full of laughter and energy too it kinda infected us all too. haha then day 2 was more of preparing us for the activities in the rest of the days and getting our cluster to work together. and i won a pair of GV movie ticket vouchers! yay! third day was our trip to orchard and we all had alot of fun! our cluster was split into 2 groups and in the end our group won best group award! everyone in the group got 30 bucks starbucks vouchers hahaha and we're going to share wtih our cluster tomorrow! awww so nice. :D

haha then fourth day was our work attachment and i was attached to tangs. it was quite an enriching experience la cos i kinda got to experience the service sector and it taught me quite abit. haha going out of the comfort zone and learning new things lor. then after that we had to get back to republic poly and have buffet dinner then go and prepare some stuff for funfair the next day. hahah stayed till past 10pm then had to go home. hahaha still enjoyed my time there with all of them preparing those materials for the funfair. cluster spirit! and my face appeared in the newspaper sia. hahah

fifth day was the finale, so we all had to go and prepare and guest of honour was grace fu. haha how graceful. okay nevermind! hahaha we had alot of fun talking, enjoying the performance, and i posted some cheem question to the guest of honour just to waste some time so that our funfair doesnt have to be so long. (cos ithought we werent very well prepared) haha then after that we sorta had like a small celebration and had to do alot of crap our cluster were forced to do the banana dance which we didnt do very well la. haha after it all we gave leoand and ally thank you cards (which i bought, thank you very much) and it moved leonad to cry because he was damn touched! hahaha awww :P touching moment for all

hahaha so our journey reached its conclusion here, but hopefully, the bonds that we forged during these 5 days have just been reinforced and will hold for years and years to come. hahaahh the camp rocked!

haha and about sailing, relax la the "oi" on the tagboard. hahaha im kididng only! lol the ij girls all win me sia, even if i cheat and dont round the mark HAHAHA i slack slack slack go nationals i will also slack la. they dont call me the suicide bomber for nothing right! hahaha i know specifically what my job at nationals is la, what i have to do to win ri the gold! haha relax relax man, i think ij girls damn funny. hahah

last training i went, which was tuesday, it was quite fun la, cos there wasnt wind at all so we rigged up our boats and went to slack, like play soccer. then after that we had to do pt which contained alot of pushups and phantom chairs and some hike out drill la hahha but i only did the hike out drill cos i told jiaolian i got competition the next day dont want my muscles to ache mah. hahaah so i laughed at all the guysa nd girls while they were doing and i think everyone hates me for that! :'(

haha then after doing all that pt the wind picked up and jiaolian forced us all to go out. haha the one stop centre guys told us not to go out because it was cat 1 already but jiaolian still forced us to go out. so naturally, i was damn scared. (haha i damn lousy lei) so i saw like the kayakers were coming back so i went to help them recover their boats and slacked off alot of training while the wind was damn strong. hahah ernest and chaixun slacked with me till jiaolian came back then we had to launch with the girls lor. hahaha slack la, slack la!

then after training we came back to shore then jiaolian made all those who launched late have to do 100 pushups! haha but i didnt have to do cos i had competition the next day. haha im some number 1 slacker la no one can beat me! heehee

and after bathing and changing we wanted to get out of saf changi clubhouse but the road outside had a fatal accident! hahah so we couldnt get a lift from anyone at all. so in the end we ri guys had a very brilliant idea, which was to WALK OUT. haah so we walked, and walked, and walked, and walked for about an hour before the cars all cleared and we were like okay wtf hahaha everyone tired already. hahah well at least the girls were singing some songs so that helped to alleviate the fatigue a little... hahahaha then we just sat down at the road side like mangkalis and all of us disbanded and 5 of us had to get to bishan so we waited very patiently for a cab to agree to take 5 people. haha some idiot driver wanted to take us if we paid 50% extra. HAHA SCREW OFF! anyway we found a nice taxi driver and took a cab to bishan, got a little something to eat and went home. hahah woah damn tired.

haha then i wore my ankle out damn badly on tuesday that the match on wednesday against nat u18s i couldnt jump very high cos my right ankle was damn pain. haha but i still played well la hahaha and im damn happy i played well! in front of saimeng too, whos gonna be our rj coach next year. so i hope i left a favourable impression... :D my job depends on it!

haha and thats all from me.. NYP tomorrow!

remember the infamous video that circulated the internet? it originated from NYP. hahahaha tammy nyp ftw!

hi everyone! sorry for not updating for so long, had alot of stuff on hand lar...

haha anyway, great news for me! u20 competition is on next monday, 11th of june and im playing for rj! hip hip hooray! i get another chance to show them how pro seetow#1 can be. haha i really want to do well but im damn out of shape (literally) and i cant train for the whole of next week monday to friday because of some gems camp. stupid peng made me do it for him damn im so nice lar. haha so ill have to train tomorrow (sunday leh wth) plus next saturday and sunday to prepare myself. not very good preparation but better than nothing lar. after all, i won interhouse waterpolo! haha so shouldnt be too bad lar in terms of reflexes and everything ohwells hope it goes well hahaha.

haha and i start training for sailing interschools already hope we can do well lar its like my last chance to do something for ri. haha i know i cant win individual honours at sailing interschools so i know what my job will be, the kamikaze bomber hahahaha so self sacrificial. LOL i wouldnt mind getting last overall if we got team first, seriously. hahha anyway i just went training yesterday and it was quite fun, whole day training, mainly because large parts of it had no wind.

haha we went there first and reached around 830am (at which point i went to play the arcade machine and spent 4 tokens there, and reached the final and second onslaught before i got narrowly beaten 4 out of 4 times grrr) haha then we went to rig up under hu jiaolian's orders and in the end we convinced him not to go out cos it was damn damn no wind conditions. so we went to slack in the pool and slack slack slack and eat lunch till it was about 1230 hahahaha.

then the wind picked up like siao till it was crazy, about 20 knots like that hahahha even i so heavy also damn scared! haha so he asked the ri guys only to launch and the ij girls didnt have to launch so we were like walao he damn bad want guys to die only the girls dont have to die. haha kevin and eugene launched first and capsized soon after so me, ernest, caixun and jordan were all damn scared so after jianying launched we all slacked on shore till the wind died down abit then we went out haahaha (it was my idea...) lol so we successfully avoided certain death lar hahaha

then by the time i went out, the wind died down totally, which kinda sucked cos i then proceeded to lose to all the girls other than one or two who must really suck if they can lose to me in light wind conditions (considering my weight! hahaaha) anyway after that i really couldnt move so i switched with nathan and i slacked on the powerboat all the way back to shore haahaha i think jiaolian purposely make me switch cos he want slack and he want someone strong enough to pullup the anchors of the buoys hahaha so he ask me. child labour lar! haha

haha anyway i like sailing with ij tp, not because got girls lar (im not that desperate pls) haha but because i most likely wont get last hahaaha because i like to cheat mah then laugh hahaha so my ego wouldnt be battered so badly during sailing training i see behind me got two girls then "at least i beat someone..." hahahaha i guess im easily contented...



haha anyway news news. scott parker is gonna leave for west ham from newcastle in an 8 mil pounds deal. that treacherous asshole give him newcastle captainship give him so many things he still want leave newcastle wth bloody traitor i hate him for life i curse west ham lose the independent tribunal and get relegated to championship. so see you scott parker in championship next season! wahahhaha dumbass!

and on another note, newcastle may be getting joey barton for 5 mil to replace him. or nigel reo coker from west ham who would cost as much as parker but be younger than parker. haha so i guess losing such a asshole loser as parker isnt that big a problem lar hahaha. stupid idiot

haha anyway we have a fantastic manager now!

big sam allardyce!

heard hes gonna get an amazing defender in tal ben haim on a free transfer and powerful striker mark viduka on a free transfer too! omg i really love him please please bring us to the top 5 next season thats where we belong (ahead of blood traitors jenas and parker)! haha and i heard konchesky might be coming to newcastle to fill in the left back void and maybe mario melchiot might come in at right back too! omg i really hope so! hahaah and i hope owen doesnt leave, oba doesnt leave, nzog doesnt leave, taylor doesnt leave. haha they form the core of the team! hahaha and that kinda concludes all of what i have to say. hahaha

anyway, next few days ill be kinda unavailable because tomorrow night ill be staying at safyc changi clubhouse chalet hahahaha spending the night with four other guys - eugene, jianying and kevin. haha what a gay affair. hahaha then monday to friday i got gems camp (which is a day camp lar so relac ill be coming home) and on monday night im going watch marcus' campus superstar recording! haha best of luck my brudder we raffles waterpoloers rule!
