says it all

a picture says a thousand words, this captures the essence of brotherhood, the thrill of winning, the power of teamwork and the beauty of comaraderie.

Score: 12-11, we won. it was a well orchestrate play. tks for those voices that spur the warriors on court, every bit count. Respect to the TH players as well, it was a fair tough match.

mess

this year's ihg is a big mess. alot of big hiccups and mismatched. enough said, im going to be a demanding coach and a lukewarm fan.

i gt a call from a mnc contruction and engineering firm, they had a new job opening entry for fresh grads, its sorta like a merger of QS and cost engr, and they call it cost engineers, sounds enticing. and definitely challenging.

the HR called and chatted with me casually. asking in a very light hearted tone, "we are just worried if you can bring your ego down to accept this job,.. it requires one to learn from the very beginning.. from the site level to the upper mgment level. "

naturally, i said 'of coz, im ready to accept challenges!'

i must say she was abit taken aback. ha, then she told me the engin dept would follow up with the interview. i am keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully going thru a successful interview(if any) this time.

things are indeed still the same, i feel its a risk worth taking, this at least widen my scope on the real friendly competitiors, their existence, their style and their commitment. its amazing to see so many pple fallen for the shrewd ice cold facade, breaking in trying to taste the warm fuzzy fillings. somehw i feel magic is brewing, just waiting for the right time ingredient.

date

" will you be my date? " - lizard

that was one of the most widely used phrase for dating game.

its no longer a game. its real, better, richer and definitely tastier.


its a pity. truly

blue blood

the kr semi finals with our friendly neighbour was probably one of the best supported ihg sports among all halls and best i've seen in the years in hall.

it was simply breathtaking.

some say its becoz of the venue, some say its the rivalry, watever it is, we did show what we are capable of when we are united as one, yes, jcrc, blkcomm, smu, sports captain, rockers, cheer comm and the residents. and indeed, it heightened the whole game atmosphere and definitely push the game to a higher level. i can safely bet that EH and TH muz be oozing with envy the support we show to our players even tho we are not the top sports halls.

i mus really commend on the jcrc this yr. impressive and dedicated so far. our dear sports sec, greys' anatomy george o'malley-lookalike is outright stunner. from his eyes, we can see the passion and love for this place, his pirated-mambo-dance-moves in the mud-k-k-k-kr cheers was unforgettable. also, the p and vp are equally influential, their presence are felt. lin and co, with his wings over rockers definitely add the punch to the cheers, with those sensational drumbeats, roaring the players to perform harder.

im so touched. this is the true kr blue, sea of blue. its back. this IS what IHG all about. united as one. not those folklore of undermining certain sports for one over others etc etc.

im waiting for the kr hall anthem to be sung again, to relive my virigin tear for kr in the very same atmosphere.

once again.. K---K---K--- KR (hand gestures swaying left to right)

come back!

last wkend before the sch reopens. the last official sch term has come back. getting all prepared for the final sem of my nus life.

a couple of days ago, someone broke the news to me that janelle was hospitalised in usa, met with some car accident, warded to icu, having some difficulties with her lungs. it came so sudden. it was only like yest we were training hball together, perfecting her 9-m shots, with her usual bimbotic antics and expression, gawd, i miss her. babe, pls come back alive and kicking. i pray for your speedy recovery and come back to papa! :)

todae was an eventful meeting. met up with all my closest cousins. one just came back from aus, term break from her masters. small world, both my cousins know janelle, one of them is her jr in track n fields back in cedar, the other was her temp teacher in cedar as well. it was great catching up with them, recalling all the best moments of us travelling together, those family trips, such fun, aint coming back. there is this little chance that we can go aus to visit my cousin end of sem2 as a grad trip, lets see.

oh ya, forget to mention im part of chingay, i guess im really lucky to steal the limelight, again. ha. for god's sake, im just a free loader, those 14 previwers are really cream of the crops, they really put their hearts and souls to it, 100marks for effort. frankly, i was more impressed with the backscene workers, esp zee, the engineers and the ex-co. i would say the admin & logistics were almost flawless, all other delay were due to external factors, weather, bus, tv crew.. saluate.. nevertheless, this channel U chingay preview would be aired soon, would let u guys know when. im jus proud i can be part of this magnificent feat again. however, as we (rag performance) do it more frequently, it sorta lost the true meaning to it. the only time i feel all jittery and passionate was during the actual rag day 06 itself. the performances thereafer, like the Plaza sing showcase, this chingay media preview is a mere fraction of the true exhilaration as when vying for the shield.

pretty tough for the old passionate overwhelming feelings to come back.


Now, i have to come back to reality, to deal with my fyp, i gonna hit NLB tmlo to sort out some readings and measurements.

come back janelle, safely!

blessed new yr

wat a blast, 2006 ended on a .. new .. note.

ha, yep, i attended church, invitation from ben and friends to church for some countdown thingy, think was called Nightwatch or smthing like that. my, the church is really grand, from a building major undergrad pt of view, that is a mean and expensive project, extensive planning, gd materials, elaborate facade. very grand.

the crowd is very warm, the speakers are very well articulate. however as the night progresses, it tends to be abit too preachy, with people sharing their testimonails and such.. well.. i had a minor argument with some uncle over there which temporary made me shut off from all the preaching n praying. ha, but its alrite. i was pretty amazed by the whole episode anyway. msn me if u are keen to know.

i saw many budding n fading of relationships, made me really wonder how much should one put into a relationship. nevertheless, i believe everything happens for a reason. we should really consider our own doings before questioning others.

my marists buddies asked me a funny qn on xmas eve, "why the hell are u still single?' i find it incredibly amusing. ahha. its as if i WAS never single for too long, probably to them i was the playboy. no i wasnt. think maturity comes along with age, together with peers around you, made me realised alot of more stuff abt commitments and partners. ya, i think i could prpbably explained why i was single for so darn long, i think i am still attracted to mud. ex is no longer an issue, we are still argubly friends, nothing more. but with the passing of a new year, this is the time to proceed. its time to resurface and reconnect with the world again. thank u, for everything.

i find few individuals particularly interesting. maybe its the whole new knowing someone-better-phase.. we shall see.

new year resolution: to get 6 pack abs, ya rite, to maintain honours, get a decent job, love my family more and be a responsible person..

.. and to remain a cheeky person ;)

Have a blessed new yr everyone. tks ben & cherie for your friendship
