Nearly broke my toes

Before last week, the last time I played basketball was more than a month ago. Yesterday, I woke up sort of late for basketball with my friends. So I rushed and forgot my shoes.

While playing, I wanted to block this guy's shot. Rarely, I found such a nice opportunity to block people, so I rushed in and smacked the ball. For his shot attempt, he jumped forward towards me. So, I jumped backwards to block his shot. The guy did not release the ball and continue to hold it in his hands which caused my whole body to sort of rotate towards being horizontal in mid-air. Then, I landed with only my left leg in the position shown below and my right leg stretched in front of me.

No other body part was in contact with the ground so that all my weight is supported only by my left leg. Fortunately, there is a moment (spinning action) still acting on my body which made my upper body lean towards the back. Feeling that my left leg is compressed to the maximum, my stomach muscle loosened and allow my body to lean to the back. Once my upper body nearly touched the floor, my right hand auto reacted by smacking the palm of my hand on the ground and my whole body came to equilibrium. It's like in the kungfu movies where the kungfu guy smackes the ground to bounce himself up again when falling just that I did not bounce up back. After that, I felt the joint in my toes aching but I still continued to play on. Adrenalin is a good thing; it makes you feel...no pain when supposingly you should be hurting like hell. Same thing happened when I sprained my right ankle last time, I continued playing with the help of adrenalin. hahaha...not until I came home did I felt the aching joints all over my left leg below the knee and on my right hand from the elbow down. "Basketball is physical sport. If there is no contact, it is not basketball." as quoted by the international referee that conducted the referee clinic.

This post ends with a laugh on my side escaping the possibility of breaking my toes. WAHAHAHAHA =)

Neither here nor there

two weeks into the holiday and all i have been doing is waking up, mousehunt on facebook, mythbusters on discovery channel, maybe smallville and heroes, or sleep, eat then tv then sleep.

this few days i have been reading a book i borrowed, Vampires. it is a collection of vampire stories by various writers into a book. to be honest, it was quite lame. this morning i decided to flip through all the lame titles and still i find the stories in it superbly flat.

that aside, i have a lot of time to day dream away lately and something came to my mind yesterday. what if i have the powers to stop time like Hiro in Heroes? what would i do?

this is a few things i would do...

1. i think most people will try this if they can...run naked down the street.

2. take a piece of delicious looking foods i come across.

3. check to see how many people actually put their keys under a plant pot or floor mat.

4. flick the rain with my fingers.

5. try to hold fire?

6. go do stupid faces in front of someone i hate.

7. save lifes?

8. find a many five star hotels and see what is it like in a presidential suite.

9. go to other countries without legal documents.

10. SMACK those mosquitoes bugging me right now.

so far that is what i can think of... tata

2009 Christmas

Event: Christmas eve party

Place: Friend's friend's house

People there: Susan, Irene, Phyllis, Pei Lin, Chu Hui, 2 more of the girls' friends, Susan's brother Eddy (I hope my spelling is right), Ah Tat, Ah mong, Ravi, Hei Lek, Ah Mao, Ah Gou, Jackson and me.

After dinner, we gathered at the house (a bungalow) which for me can be called the perfect house to come home to except that there is too many air-conds. At the beginning, it was just eating chips and drinking a little beer. Then Ah Tat and me went to try make us some edible tang yuan which the girls bought earlier on.

Santa Tete (took someone's hat xD)

Boiling the tang yuan first

Transferring it to the ginger + malacca brown sugar

Santa's beautiful little helper, Irene

Group photo~~

The card game

Rules: No looking at your card. The previous loser chooses whether the biggest card or smallest card loses. Add liquor at your own risk while holding up your card on your forehead then everyone puts down your card. Loser drinks.

The first few rounds of drinks and mao was feeling uncomfortable already(he took 4 glass consequently). I'll admit I was heating up as well after one glass of vodka + chivas + beer a crazy concoction.

Mahjong

Later, the chair became Ah Mao's permanent resting place (mind you, he is not dead)

Eyes getting heavy, the world is darkening...haha

Saw, Ah Mao? still on the couch...xD

Couple power, Chu Hui and Ravi

Hmm...seen this photo before. Ei, Pei Lin, tukar pose once awhile la =P

The expression on Ravi's face is priceless. His hyper mode activated by now

Group photo again...

Human art...with a permanent marker

Astro boy?

Gou's cute pose

Need to win if not need to drink

Awhile later Irene went home because she cant stay out too late

Not long after that: The last picture I took of myself before I took a nap on the couch

THE AFTERMATH: I woke up to find everything in a havoc. I asked Jackson what happened cause he is the most sober one around and found out they drank somemore after that till...all was drunk.

Ravi gg-ed on the other couch

I wasn't feeling too well yet. Went to wash some dishes but was getting dizzier by the moment so I hurried back to lay down. A few minutes later, I felt better.

Summary of the different types of character when they are drunk,

1st type: Drunk then go into hyperactive mode and played more games to make others drunk until he KO.

2nd type: the common type but it was my first time seeing this, "I am not drunk, I still can drink" all the while holding an empty bottle.

3rd type: "Look at me, I am not drunk. He (pointing at someone)....he IS drunk". With eyes opening so big it was hard to believe he/she wasn't drunk.

4th type: Awake but feeling super uncomfortable, therefore, vomitting with a super pitiful face.

5th type: The one that is drunk already but still able to take care of the other drunk ones. The face shows a frustrated face trying to keep everyone still. Irritating, cause keep on ending a sentence with, ".....okay?". EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE!

6th type: THE MOST DAMN BLOODY ANNOYING ONE! Drunk but still moving around talking nonsense, smiling, not listening to others but want others to listen to him, "Oi" here and there, calling other people for I don't know what, disturbing other already resting people. BOSSY AND BITCHY is the word. My god, never knew someone can be so annoying.

That's it. Merry Christmas everyone. Hopefully the house doesn't look so messed up after the cleaning up. It will definitely smell of beer though...

=)

finally i got myself a watch...so shiny *.*

could have taken a much better pic with previously stolen camera =.=

so blur...deng

Holiday...is yesterday

I think I gained weight instead of trying to lose weight this sem break. Well, looking back at what I did...eating, sleeping, sitting in front of my comp watching shows, a little dota...of course fat la!

Well, will be going back to Malacca tomorrow and got stuff I need to fix back there then BASKETBALL! Havent touch that for awhile now...Sure let ppl bully...

A Deepavali Weekend

The plan: Celebrate Deepavali at Ravi’s house, go roam some shopping area in KL, stay the night in KL, eat breakfast and go up to Genting and come down the next day.

Link to Jackson's site

SATURDAY

The unlucky incident

I packed everything I needed and went to the KTM station. It has been awhile since I took the KTM and that Saturday was not a good time to take one. It was packed and all the way up until KL Sentral, I was being sandwiched in there and it was definitely a sauna room in there. Coming out of the train, I realise the missing weight in my right pocket. I touched and it was gone. My camera was gone just like that. It stunned me for quite some time before I get to recollect myself. I had then just been a victim of a pickpocket.

Deepavali celebration

Nothing I can do anymore so I went up and meet up with Ah Tat (housemate), changed into a fresh shirt and got a train to Telok Gadung (Klang) where we met up with Ah Loong (ex-roommate) and he fetched us to Ravi’s house where we meet up with Jackson, Chu Hui and Ravi of course. Had a great meal in Ravi’s house, rested a bit and off we (Jackson, Ah Tat and me) go heading towards KL.

KL

I slept in the car for a bit but I could hear both Jackson and Ah Tat having trouble getting us to 1-U. I woke up and found myself in Times Square. Haha…We loitered around Times Square, went to the arcade, went out to Jalan Ipoh to have dinner and then went back to Times Square to catch a movie, Pandorum. I enjoyed watching the movie, not too sure about the guy sitting beside me because I jumped in my chair quite a number of times >..<

The hunt for a hotel

We went and asked several hotels that charged more than 100 for a room. After searching for a bit more, we found a decent hotel that offered us 85 ringgit for a room with 2 single bed. Since there was a few more hotels in that row, we went to ask the others first before making our decision. The hotel beside the one we asked had a guy standing outside and a girl with another guy sitting inside. It looked like a two pimps with a hooker so we moved on without asking. The next one didn’t have anybody at the reception so skipped that. The last one was a Chinese guy which offered the last room he has for 60 ringgit. The room was just beside the toilet which is convenient but the bed was not properly tidied. Then he told us that it is usually used for “one hour one hour” thing. That is all I needed to know so we properly declined and went with the 85 per night. When we were checking in, there was a deposit of 40 ringgit required. I dug out all my cash and added up with the rest of the cash from Ah Tat and Jackson and came out short of 10 ringgit…Luckily enough the guy behind the counter was fine with that and gave us the room anyway. Bathed and lights out.

SUNDAY

The journey to Genting

Woke up early in the morning and went for breakfast about 8 in the morning and off we go towards Genting. Drove the windy road up the hill and took a cable car (Genting Skyway) to Genting.

The theme park and the pretty girl from Singapore

It wasn’t that cold up in Genting. We didn’t waste much time and got our all theme park wristband. First was the bumper car. After a round of bumping around, we went for the Go-Karts. It was my first time driving one and while lining up there was this girl behind me that keep sticking to my back. Was not quite sure why until I saw a group of guys (look like pervs standing behind her). Then Ah Tat pulled me to the side and allowed here to stand beside me. Up until the waiting room we didn’t speak to her. I peeked at her face when she wasn’t looking and yeah…she is pretty, well my type to be honest. At the waiting room, I split up from Jackson and Ah Tat and sat beside this girl, not purposely but there wasn’t any seat left. I was thinking how to start a conversation when suddenly I received a msg. It was from Ah Tat asking me to talk to her… =.= So, I opened my mouth and talked to her. She was nice. A Singaporean, first time here in Genting, second time driving a Go-Kart, WORKING…., here with her family, going down Genting today. I introduced myself as Tete and she introduced herself as Stacy…and off we go to the Go-Karts. After the Go-Karts, I didn’t get to talk to her or say goodbye which left me kind of disappointed. She was in a hurry after checking her phone and left. ARGH…sad.

The bloody Indian Guy that took a piss out in the open eventhough the toilet was so close by

Tried other rides and when we were on the antique car, we passed by an Indian guy taking a piss in a passage behind a wall away from the crowd. He definitely thought he was safe with his two other friends watching the passage for him but little did he know that we being in the antique car can see him clearly. Jackson shouted out “Oi” and he panicked. LOL…Not sure whether he “emergency brake” the rest of his pee or he has finished peeing, he quickly moved away and zipped his jeans and that left his friends laughing…

The sucky lunch and mist

Ate at a steamboat buffet which sucks but considered cheap in Genting and continued playing. Then about 5pm came a gust of wind bringing along with it, mist. Woah…it became chilly after that. Again we did not book a room here in Genting so we went to check whether there were anybody who gave up their bookings but found none.

The hunt for a room up in Genting

There was this aunty that approached us and offered us a room but the price she offered was 50 ringgit higher. We were on the way to check the room out and suddenly she asked us to head up the lift to the 19^th floor. She won’t be following but told us that someone will meet us up there. I didn’t like the feeling of being chopped directly (if you are being chopped not knowingly, you are too naïve but being chopped straightforward like that…I felt like smacking her face) while Ah Tat was being cautious about being ganged on and robbed. Jackson consulted his dad on the phone and his dad was worried about being chased out later by someone claiming the room to be theirs. So, we went to the 20^th floor instead and Ah Tat and I went down to have a look while Jackson stayed put. We went down by stairs and saw two aunties waiting there.

The decision and alternative

We ignored them and went up using the lift to get Jackson and we decided not to take the room and went down instead. We changed our plan to go down the cable car and drive Jackson’s car up all the way and sleep in it if we have to.

The execution of the plan and the panic Indian Guy

So we ate our dinner at the food court and down we went. At the Genting Skyway. We met an Indian guy asking us how to get to Putra Line so that he can get back to KL. Apparently he was told by the counter that there weren’t any busses left to KL and he was panicking. We told him instead to go down the cable car and figure out from there because at the bottom station was a bus station as well. He sat in the same cable car as us and we chatted. He was from India, 25 years old, graduated with a Bachelor in Engineering (BE he calls it), currently working for China Mobile a service provider in China like Maxis, DIGI, Celcom… working as a software engineer, came here for a meeting, one more week before going back to India, first time up Genting, came alone, a guy he is working with (local) told him that coming up here is the same way to go down so he just came but didn’t realise that it would end up like this. At the bottom we parted ways wishing him good luck and drove the car back up.

Night entertainment

We parked the car in First World hotel parking lot, changed shirt etc…and went to have more fun. Played the M-16 shooting thing, sucked at aiming just like back in NS; played bowling, sucked at it too.

My first cup of coffee that costs more than 10 ringgit

Went to Coffee Bean to rest our aching feets, charge the phones, and get a cup of coffee. Jackson went first and got his cup while Ah Tat and I calculated our spending and split it. It was stuffy in there and wireless wasn’t available so off we went to search for Starbucks. Coming to Coffee Bean was already a long journey and we had to walk another long journey to Starbucks. On the way, Jackson with his ice-blended cup of caramel I-don’t-know-what was sort of popping while walking because of the cool air xD. There, Ah Tat and I ordered our cup of ice-blends. I ordered ice-blended mocha. Too bad the wireless service there was out of order as well. Off we went on another journey to another Starbucks café. My feet was hurting like hell reaching there. While Jackson was busy trying to get online and Ah Tat was busy sms-ing with someone, I fighting to stay awake drinking my mocha which was slowly turning into torture cause it was so darn bitter. After what felt like an eternity, I forcefully sucked up the rest of my mocha and we headed to the car.

The problem of sleeping

Tried to sleep in the basement but it was getting stuffy, so we drove out in search of a parking spot which is luminated by light. After we have found one near a “pondok polis bantuan”, we tried to sleep. The problem I faced was the uncomfortable twisting of my body to fit the available position. A few times my left thigh and yeah, my left ball/nut/testicle went numb O.O .Once my left leg nearly cramp.

MONDAY

Woke up straight away go down from Genting and Jackson fetched Ah Tat and I to Bandar Tasik Selatan KTM station where he took LRT and I took KTM home.

Staying at home is healthy...too healthy!

This few days at home I really enjoyed myself. Everything is taken care of. All I did was wake up, eat my pack of nasi lemak, click here and there on my laptop, maybe watch heroes or smallville if it fully downloaded, eat my lunch, watch discovery channel a bit (mythbusters! cool shitz man), watch some drama my mom watches on tv, eat dinner, maybe kill ppl a bit or be killed, then sleep. And yes...it has been 4-5 days having nasi lemak for breakfast and a bloody bigass pimple (combinations of two medium ones) grew on my cheek. Once the pus comes out, I am so gonna SLOWLY squeeze it out. Oh yeah, this morning, my bottom lips swell like nobody's business... =.= Kinda freaky having big lips...

A weekend plus 1

This weekend was quite a crazy one. The people involved are, Ravi, Chu Hui, Pei Lin, Tat, Mong, Jackson, Hei Lek, Irene and me. (Jackson, from the steamboat onwards)

Saturday,

It started with me waking up at 8am to read my notes and do some exercise on Basic Management, Accounting and Economics. At 2 pm, I went for my exam without proper lunch. I am gonna sidetrack a bit. Following are the Tete's theories during examination.

1. Must at least gone through every chapter that is coming out.

2. Must at least take a short nap just before the exam.

3. Must go to the exam with style (set hair and dress nicely).

4. Must not eat anything heavy (a bar of chocolate will be enough)

Well, that's about my theory. I went in, used 30 mins out of the 90 mins time duration to finish the questions and came out. Walked back hoping to get a pack of nasi lemak on the way but they ran out of sambal...and chicken...so, I ended up not eating lunch. About 4pm we went for a movie, The Proposal. It was a nice movie which started out with a boss proposing to her secretary for her selfish needs but...you know where this goes with that "but".

Sandra Bullock still looks beautiful despite the wrinkles. After the movie we had crabs as the main dish for our dinner! The crabs were huge! Not those tiny meatless ones. The night ended with mahjong tiles hitting against each other and blackjack. A little bit of liquor in between...a little.

Sunday,

Some of us went to the market to get stuff for that night's steamboat dinner. The rest...continued sleeping and I was one of them. Wakaka...We got prepared and set off later to Dreambox where some of us sang our lungs out and some...just sang with their lungs intact. Haha...Right after that, we went to catch another movie...ORPHAN.

The story line was good and the sound effect scared me...This movie is something like Chucky Child's Play (the human soul that got transferred into a doll body and kills people) just that the killer this time is a girl or should I say woman (you'll know why when you watch the movie). Throughout the movie, I was whispering (Oh my god...no...no...) and cursing (shit...fuck lo...whatthefuck...cb...). That was how I reacted to the movie...Then we went back, on the way getting some McD so as not to starve waiting for the steamboat and a small cake to celebrate Hei Lek's birthday. After all the boiling, eating and cleaning up, we lighted up the candle and sang a birthday song for Hei Lek...Later, mahjong tiles again, some liquor again and blackjack again before I retired to bed while they continued with DOTA.

Monday,

Woke up this morning, quite early I suppose...to a game of DOTA cause I missed last night's action. Lost like crap...Everybody wash up and we went to Mahkota Parade to land ourselves at Baskin' Robbins. It was my first time eating ice-cream here and I bought the smallest cup they got with Marcadamia and Mango Tango ice-dream mixed in it. It costed me RM18.50 after tax for it. Luckily today there was offer of 30% for it. If not, I will be paying RM 25.50 before tax for it. I got a whole cup for myself...hehehe

The pic was a bit blurry maybe because of the dim lighting and my shaking hands. Well, I finished it. The girls went to shop while we boys went to the bowling alley. I suck at bowling so I am not gonna elaborate on how I suck. After that we met up again and Ravi, Chu Hui and Pei Lin went on their way back to Klang again.

For this weekend, my face grew lots of pimples...gotta be patient and slowly nurture my face back again...That's all. Almost forgot...actually more like didnt even care...Happy Independence Day...

Midterm Break!!

Hell Yeah! I got a week holiday!

All those assignments, lab reports, midterm test, quizzes, social work, presentation can get the hell outta my face for awhile. It has been so very annoying having all these things bugging me. It's like listening to fingernails scratching on a wooden surface which produces screeches that makes you wanna take a hammer and slam it on whoever's hand it is.

The first thing that spoiled my holiday....I havent reached home and it already disturbed my happiness. It is the F***ING POLLUTED AIR. My throat is so darn itchy right now because of the polluted air. You know what....screw the censorship! FUCK YOU INDONESIAN AGRICULTURE! FUCK YOU FOR RUINING MY HOLIDAY MOOD!

Now that that has been released...I feel somewhat better. HAPPY HOLIDAYS STUDENTS OF MMU.

19

Next year I will step into the 20 group. Had a nice celebration at home eating steamboat with my family consisting of (from the eldest) my Grandma, Dad, Mom, Elder bro, me and my younger bro. Then got this one sesat fella also which is not worth to be mentioned with more than a sentence.

Homecook steamboat man...the big fresh prawns...the pork ribs...the fish...the mushrooms...U LA LA! No pictures though...haha...

THANKS TO ALL THAT WISHED ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY! My wish is for all of you to have great health and a happy day always!

Last day of my BETA year

It's 30th of May and finally, everyone has finished their exams. Mine finished a week ago...

First, we packed our stuff to shift in to a new apartment cause we can no longer stay in the current one anymore. Shift shift shift...then had lunch and then off we went to play futsal!

At first I thought I would be like blur blur cause everything is blur when I take off my specs but thankfully, I was able to play. Me, Tat, Mong, Ravi, Hei Lek, Kang Kang and the rest of their friends booked a court (total of 15 people). We played 6 on each side and swap 3 after each game.

My first goal came with me standing beside the opposition goal post and finishing Ravi's pass while the goalkeeper charged at him. Thanks Ravi...hehe

My next goal came after a corner by my teammate. My teammate kicked the ball and it rebounded off one of the opponent; by instinct, I ran for the ball aand smacked it as hard as I could but I did not kicked the ball where I wanted (was aiming at the near end of the goal post). So, the ball spinned towards the far end of the goal post. By luck, the goal keeper jump to the near post and my ball rolled it's way to the net.

The third goal was a cross between my two teammates that did not connect. Again, I just ran and chased the ball and give it a smack into the net without any resistance.

Pls take note that all three goals were scored in different games.

____________________________________________________________________

After that we went home, took a bath and then went for dinner at Simply Fish.

I called a salmon dish which looks like this...


First time eating a slice of salmon all by myself. The taste was so and so...

Then they brought out a cake...It was to celebrate Tat's, Mong's and my birthday. Chocolate cake from secret recipe. Yummy Yum Yum...

too bad the salmon dish was quite filling which made me unable to eat more then 1 slice of the cake... T_T

_____________________________________________________________________

Next destination was actually Arena (a bar/club...not sure). When we arrived, there was an entrance fee required...Change of plans...PURE BAR! Music was loud as hell like the last time I went...makes your whole body want to jump move to the beat! Well, we arrived there quite early...the crowd hasnt got into the mood to go "crazy". So we sat and chat a bit took some pictures here and there...

Then some of my friends disappeared...I asked Ravi what's upstairs (I saw some people going up the stairs) and he said "live band". Alright! I went upstairs and found my friends there; together, we watched the live band perform. Woo...they were spectacular...most of the songs they played tend to be my favourite...The man and the woman singer took turns to sing back to back songs. Both have great voices and the rest of the band just rocked the whole house! WoO HoO!

Went down to have some drinks and the night is getting started. Some of them played ci-ku-pak and the loser have to drink. I didnt understand the game cause there was like left palm open and right palm fist, etc etc. Didnt bother to learn cause I will lose anyway...haha...So, together with Jackson, we went upstairs again to join Hei Lek watching the live band. People started moving, the rest of the group came up and we started moving until the band took a break. Went downstairs to the beat of the DJ and dance till we were tired (more like letting your body loose to the beat of the music xD). After that, we went back to shift somemore stuff to the new apartment (it was about 2.30 am then...). Went back to our current apartment, took a bath and slept like a pig......
