the memories.

was searching through my computer and some websites for my old waterpolo pictures to put in to my english oral defence, and some dead and buried memories and feelings suddenly cropped up again. i really feel as if i have something missing from my life nowadays when i dont go to waterpolo training anymore, when i just spend my time on mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, and fridays at the gym or at home having a short nap. it really is different, and somehow, it aint right.

i remember this time last year, when we were already training 4 or 5 times a week to keep our dreams of winning the gold for ri alive. everyday i would reach home at least 6+ in the evening and struggle to do my work because i would come back from training feeling very exhausted and fatigued.

perhaps, we look at our results (4th for nationals) and wonder to ourselves, was all the hours, days and months we put in for training really worth it? if you asked me then, i would say, definitely, it was worth it. you ask me now, and i would still give you the same answer, yes, it has been definitely bloody worth it.

found this while searching through RInspire (our school magazine) for my articles on sailing and waterpolo, and indeed, as tom said, we raffles waterpolo team of 2007, really are one huge family, working together towards that dream of finally lifting that cup.

haha okay enough random rambling from me, so let me just conclude this short moment of reflection with a picture.

botak seetow!!!

come on say it with me! who are sitting proudly atop the english premier league table now? huh? who? who?

hahaha its newcastle united of course! with a 3-1 win at reebok stadium, home to bolton, in the bag, the premiership's top position is finally ours! hahaha and i remember the last time we topped the premiership back in season 03-04, we finished an eventual third in the premiership, qualifying for europe. now isnt that a good omen or what!

big sam's methods are working! wheeee! and he has instillled a new belief in the squad, getting people who will work for their wages, like geremi, barton and smith just to name a few.

and he has also finally tried out zoggy at left back, something i have wanted roeder to do for a very long time. hahaha he looked stable out there so thats great! perhaps he could provide jose enrique with some good competition for that position. haha

zoggy played super well today too. he scored one and created another for oba. and oba scored two, including an emphatic bicycle kick! yay!

omg im so excited. hahaha howay the lads! and 07-08 will be our season to shine! yay for newcastle!

hi everybody!

and lets have a national day treat.. from dick lee!



haahha i think the national day song this year is quite weird, considering how the whole song does not even mention the word "singapore", not once at all. hahaha i think last year's "Home" was much nicer lor! especially cos they were performed by little kids.. AWW SO CUTE! hahaha and sorry to disappoint many out there, but i do nothave paedophilic tendencies :'(

haha ahh im tired i shall go sleep. i have watched simpsons and rushed hour 3 these past two days! both movies were a blast i tell you. simpsons just got me out of my seat with laughter and its political humour, and rush hour 3 was all chris tucker man. that guy is one fantastic talk cock king la. hahaha

anyway bye (:

haha i should be doing lit presentation! and not this! but yeah COOL VIDEO anyway on youtube, something that i should be banned from... stupid lit presentation! hahaha



this black guy who looks younger than me sings like some crazy bugger omgomgomg his voice is so cool. and hes 25. hahaha

YES!

i think we did well for cross country yesterday, i surmise that we should either be getting a 1st or 2nd placing. haha results not out yet, but i was standing and stoning like 300m away from the finish line the whole day, so more or less i can estimate la. hahaha

yesterday i was standing at 300m away from the finish line and waving the flag and telling any bayleyeans running past who would listen that it was 100m more to sprint and stuff like that HAHAHA but actually it was 300m so they just sprinted thinking it was 100m and pushed themselves for 300m, i think like that they improved a few placings. :D and it was quite ironic that moor set up camp 100m behind me, saying that left 200m (which was the truth). hahha

so anyway great job bayleyeans, we did well yesterday! :D




and on a separate note, newcastle united transfer dealings have gone up a notch! we captured alan smith on a 6mil pound transfer last night.

and no matter what others say about alan smith, this lad is genuinely a player who gives his 100%, and more, for his club, and is always the first to take one for the club. haha i like these kind of players and i hope he does well at newcastle.


plus, we got cacapa (ex lyon captain) on a free transfer.

this guy is definitely bound to improve our defence and share some invaluable experiences with our up and coming young star steven taylor. hahaha so i think he will be a fantastic signing for the short term future.


and latest news in: we are on the verge of capturing the signing of villareal's young spanish gem in left back jose enrique sanchez for a reported fee of 4m pounds.

hahaha wheeee! now all of newcastle's problems are solved! yay! i watched this guy play for villareal before and my word, is he good. very promising, but perhaps lacking a little in experience. definitely a potential spanish full international in the future. haahha YAY!



and of course, as everyone heard, kieron dyer wants to leave newcastle. i dont know whats all the hype and speculation for. he wants to leave, then leave la! if it makes things any easier, i wouldnt mind going to newcastle and helping him pack his bags and leave for west ham, that club that takes in newcastle losers and rejects. just go already!

i hope this means exactly what it says. i hope dyer's newcastle journey ends here, that loser!

tomorrow is interhouse cross country! go bayley go bayley!

second last sports event for the year, so full speed ahead! please bayleyeans, do us all proud by running your hardest because if we do well, house championship is definitely in sight!

but i cant run.. doctor's orders. my feet are super bad condition so i guess well that's that. hahaha anyway im a really slow runner just couldnt cut it on land la. hahaah so...

good luck bayleyeans! and remember to wear your official house t-shirt.
