First Day Of School =D

I LOVE THIS PICTURE~!

After reading recent posts on facebook by some of my teachers about their young kids' 1st day of school experience, it brought back some memories of my first day of school in primary one. I still remember that my standard one class was just right beside the toilet.STINKY~!

I was very blur at that time, hardly able to speak and understand Malay at all. I particularly remember all the parents waiting around just outside the class.Some seem to be listening attentively to the teacher as if wanting to take down notes ;). Our first exercise in class : writing the alphabets a,b,c,d, and e on one full page of the small exercise book. Due to my 'very excellent Malay' at that time, i probably misunderstood what my class teacher said and wrote down ONLY the alphabet 'A'
A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A

My dad somehow realised that i was making that mistake (goodness knows how, I can't really remember) and he told the teacher to make me sit right beside her. YUP! I SAT NEXT TO THE TEACHERS DESK. LOL. My small desk joined the very much larger desk of my teacher at THE FRONT of the class. ( or so it seemed at that time) I don't really remember how long I sat there.Probably a month until i was not so blur and could understand more Malay.

It was 1997. I can't recall other details of that first day such as students crying, or what I ate or what other activities we had on that first day. But this one incident remains vividly in my memory. I can't imagine how on earth I survived the first few weeks with my limited malay vocabulary.BUT I SURVIVED! and have gone on to finish school. lol...even getting an 'A' in BM.lol

~I'm just writing this in my blog so that one day, If i ever lose my memory or forget these tiny details, I can look back at the archives and recall my humble beginnings ~
YNWA~!!!

My Dream Team, 2009 :)


If I had all the money in the world and could buy my own players, I would choose these eleven. I would deploy a 4-3-3 formation and I believe this line up would be feared by teams worldwide.

The Goalie ---> Iker Casillas


Arguably one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He was influencial for Spain En Route to their victory during Euro 2008 and has been really consistent throughout the years. He's presence itself could instill much confidence to the defenders.

My Back Four

Centre Back 1 --> John Terry

Chelsea ROCK SOLID defender. I love his passion and never say die attitude. An typical honest English player and plays with his heart. He is really strong and marshalls the team's defence very well. He has been key to the many clean sheets that Chelsea have kept over the years.

Centre Back 2---> Nemanja Vidic
He should have won the BPL player of the season last year but probably lost it after Torres terrorised him at Old trafford during Liverpool's 4-1 demolition of the Red Devils. He's another rock solid defender and I believe his partnership with Terry would be awesome. My team won't be leaking in that many goals. He's concentration level during each game is World Class.

Left Back---> This was a hard one but I think I'll go with Ashley Cole. Although I do not really like him because of his constant complainings towards referees and his temper, I have to admit that he's really good both in an attacking sense as well and more importantly, DEFENDING! He's very quick and has a few more seasons left in him I'm sure.

Right Back-->I think many people would have gone with Daniel ALves in this position. He's a fantastic attacking player and his delivery into the penalty box is superb.Very skillful and thus goes past defenders rather easily. He's defending isn't that bad either.

MY 3 MEN MIDFIELD

Centre--> People would have gone with Barcelona duo of Xavi and Inniesta but I'll stick with the dynamic Steven Gerrard. He's passion alone during each match is enough to give an extra boost to all his teammates. He has been awesome the last two years and he's long range shooting would be useless.He's not afraid to get 'stuck in' too. Great tackler and he would easily control the midfield.

Left--> Lionel Messi
The best player in the WORLD on current form. He's really quick and one of the most skillful players I've ever seen. The ball seems to stick to his feet. He can get past players very easily and would be a great option. He can play as a forward too and can cause headaches for any defender. John Terry and Vidic would be happy not to face him :)

Right---> As much as I hate him, I'll have to choose Cristiano Ronaldo. An extremely quick player and another player that can beat defenders easily. You'll put your money on him in a one on one situation. He has also got an excellent technique of taking freekicks so he'll be deadly during set plays.

My Attacking Trio
For my 3 forwards, I've gone for POWER,PACE ,SKILL and PASSION.

Centre Forward---> Didier Drogba.

For me, he's the best forward in the world when he is on form and when he's in the mood. He's every defenders nightmare and can easily out-muscle anyone.

Right Forward--> Wayne Rooney. What can i say, this guy is a great player. He's power and determination to win the ball and every game is amazing. He's always looks hungry and together with Torres and Drogba, defenders will wish they were never born~!

*You'll Never Walk Alone*

Top 10 things that Annoy The Crap Out of me !

So here's my top 10~!

10. People that just talk too much. blablablabla. Most people that talk alot don't seem to realise that they're irritating the people around them. They seem oblivious to their surroundings and the body language of the people within close vicinity.

9. LIARS~!! I normally can sense if a person is lying. These people seem to live in a World of Fantasy and I believe they lie because they feel insecure. I also like to call them ATTENTION SEEKERS! (I actually mean those people that like to talk big about what they do not have, showing off something that doesn't even exist in the first place)

8.'Monkeys' that smoke in public places especially restaurant sidewalks. I'll probably never understand why people smoke but that is not the point. The thing that pisses me off the most is that these idiots are 'killing innocent lives' with every single puff. The smoke smell may also trigger headaches among non-smokers.

7.People who don't keep their promises. Heck! These people should be hanged. I've met a couple of human beings like this and I'm sure they annoy others as well with their inconsiderate behaviour.

6.Pigeons. I've never liked pigeons. Their droppings are just disgusting and people should stop feeding them. Pigeon droppings have been scientifically proven to cause cancer too. (this is why I hate Section 14, PJ.. apart from the constant traffic jam there)


5. Manchester United supporters THAT ARE COCKY~!

4. Slow Internet Speed. HAHA... I was probably spoiled after visiting Singapore.

3.People for act ignorant. I really cannot stand people like this. It is a way of getting way with things. They often know perfectly well what is going on in their surroundings but choose to pretend and act stupid. That way, you can't blame them for anything.I know many people like this :(

2.Mat Rempits. I'm from Shah Alam, so I've seen enough of them to HATE them.

1.PEOPLE WHO DON'T REPLY MESSAGES.

Ushering in 2010 =)

Adios 2009~! Hola 2010~!
2009 passed by like a flash. It was an average year for me i suppose. If a rating system for the year 2009 was introduced, I would probably give it a 6/10. The early part of the year was awesome. However I got admitted in hospital in the middle of the year and I would say that August was the worst month of the year. I spent 11 long months in KTT and I really great learning and journeying with my fellow friends. I did ok in exams and I finally won a GOLD MEDAL for a football competition during FESKOTT (my sports day in college). I've always lost in the semis so it was an amazing feeling to finally win a final eventhough it was just at college level.

December was really fun though. I really enjoyed spending time at home and meeting up with my good friends from school. Nigel , my cousin from Singapore stayed with us for about 3 weeks so it was all good. We spent X'mas in Port Dickson and it was great to meet up with sooooo many family members there. The only sour note in december was that Aunty Clare lost her battle with cancer on Boxing day. :( Well, at least she does not have to suffer anymore and she is in a better place now.

For 2010, I want to be STRONGER~! ( spiritually, mentally, physically) . I'll continue to be a fighter and a fierce competitor. I vow to study harder and smarter than I've ever studied in my life( I'd have to when I'm in India, competing with the locals there) I'm really excited about starting my medical studies this year. Something I'm extremely interested in =)

I'll have to be more independent, learn how to cook and survive on my own too. I'll be working on my fitness and enjoy my holidays playing all my favourite sports and games . You see, I'm very different from most people. I don't have to go on a holiday to a far away place to enjoy myself. You can just drop me off in a nearby sports complex, give me a ball or a badminton racket and I'll have fun~!

I'm trying to pick up tennis and squash and I hope to master freestyle swimming by the end of my holidays.

I'll end my post with a lovely prayer and hopefully I can make the most of this new year. I'm really PUMPED UP for 2010~!!!!

"A new year is unfolding—like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within.

Lord, let this year be filled with the things that are truly good—with the comfort of warmth in our relationships, with the strength to help those who need our help and the humility and openness to accept help from others.

As we make our resolutions for the year ahead, let us go forward with great hope that all things can be possible—with Your help and guidance." I ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen =)
