Lunar New Year Is Considered Over..
counted hong baos liao, how much, dont tell u.. :p
lets recap for the past few days.
Wednesday
went to grandma's house to bai nian(mother's side). play blackjack with cousins and uncles, won quite a bit. i did a couple of tricks to my cousins and uncle and auntie. my uncle kept saying: wow, not bad huh.. hey man, that was good.
sth like that, haha. then my cousin tio shocked, by my gambling suite.. impressive, lol.
heres the funny part. my uncle told me to do some kiddy tricks for his daughter to see. so i took out a silk handkerchief and i simply made it disappear, and.. guess what, i shocked not only her daughter, but him as well. it was freaking funny, and i said, "magics arent only for kids.." yea.
then at around 5, we went to my dad's friend place. after everyone is there, we went to malaysia. had dinner at a restaurent, quite nice. then we drove over an hour to my father's friend's brother's place, where we collected the packets of firecrackers and rockets etc. i think it costed a few hundred rm, but who cares, not 1 pay 1..
we found a spot and we started lighting. it was something like this..: you stick a "rocket" into the ground, and light the fuse. the moment the fuse got lit up, the guy who lit it up would shout: ZHAO ARH!!!.. liddat. dam funny. but it was very fun, even the adults (my parents and my father's friends) enjoyed themselves too. so did the younger kids (count me out)..
yea, it was loud. and let me tell u, its dangerous too. the direction where the crackers or rocket fly towards is totally uncontrollable. if u're that unlucky, the rocket might backfire, and strike you right in the face, who knows. lol, bullshit.
they've already made arrangements for next year. they said that the crackers are too little and too "lousy". when we played, other people were also playing. and gosh, their firecrackers were BEAUTIFUL. its like those u see at national day, but the prices are insane too. $130 RM for a huge rocket like firework, those that u see at national day; for 15 shots. thats like $10 RM per shot.
so..: u light the fuse, shout "ZHAO ARH", and watch ur fireworks, and ur left mind starts counting.. 1 firework.. 2 firework.. 3 firework.. 4 firework.. 5 firework.. and ur right mind goes like this.. $10 gone.. $20 gone.. $30 gone.. $40 gone.. lol.
then we play blackjack, from 10pm - 12am. it was fun, the house almost collasped, we were shouting so loudly. the atmosphere was there. we left at 12am, took the 1 HOUR drive. and let me tell you, compare singapore and malaysia, it's heaven and earth. there're no street lights at some parts of malaysia. it was pretty dangerous; TOTAL darkness when the car turns its light off. scary..
reached sg at 1am, and home at 1.30am. didnt even bother to bathe, was too tired. just jumped on bed, and sleep..
thursday
oh that day was just gambling.. and gambling.. and gambling..
and i stunned my father's friends with i turned a $2 note to a $50 note. lol. :P
friday sucks. pui! damn school.
saturday
went to zhang cheng's house to bai nian. watched S.H.E encore, and gosh, how bad i want that DVD.. left at around 3, and went to orchard with hs to buy stuff..
oh and if u're reading this qixin, nice to meet you. i've heard much of you from karen last time. =)
my legs are breaking now. and dam you hs, my 17 bucks.. that 17 bucks was for my S.H.E encore..! and u took it! and i havent really finished buying stuff for her! kaoz.. u good.. nvm, since you've got something she want.. no regrets bro. =)
but i do want my $17 back, haha :P
thats about all. i hope u guys had a really wonderful chinese new year.
I'm Just Glad, That You Are Doing Fine; Without Me. Perhaps You Really Dont Need Me, Unlike Me Who Needs You, So Damn Much. I Love You.

happy new year to everyone. just wanna make a short and sweet update.. :P
yea, we kicked marsling butt yesterday, 44 - 34. shiok. okay, let me share with u this match i saw before we played against marsling yesterday..
it was Ahmad Ibrahim, and North View. northview was leading by 4 points, 56 - 52, with 8.4 seconds left. Ahmad Ibrahim was clearly going to lose. how is it possble to catch up 4 points in 8.4 seconds? ahmad passed the ball, and the stupidest person in the world from northview tried to intercept. The red flag was up, and it was a foul, 2 free throws. Ahmad seize it well and they were 2 more points closer. 3.6 seconds left, with 2 points to catch up, pocession of the ball with northview. from baseline, another stupid northview-er passed the ball to a nearby northview-er. (he should have just thundered since its only 3.6 sec) unluckily, and i mean VERY unluckily, the ball got intercepted by ahmad. the center passed the ball to the forward, and at baseling of backdoor, the forward took the 3-pointer. the next thing was the last whistle, game set. 57 - 56, ahmad sets the game.
exactly like MVP Valentines, like the movies. the entire court was shocked, so was my coach. Incredible.
okay, i'm all ready for chinese new year. clothes are set, and the best news is.. we're going to Malaysia to put fire-crackers tml! its not those kiddy types. i'm talking about those REAL fire crackers u see on national days(maybe a little smaller), that can blow half ur body off if u're not careful. so.. i'm pretty excited. rockets, fireworks, cannons..etc. no joke! :P
and of course, my tricks are all ready and set to perform. well, it starts tonight, at my grandma's house! (reunion dinner)
muahhaha, alright, i hereby wish everyone a happy new year and enjoy ur angbaos! =)

To Dearest,
When I won that match on Thursday, I was simply so overjoyed. But I realised I had no one to share this joy with, unlike last time.
Whenever my brother piss me off, anger builds inside but I have no one to talk to, no one to comfort me, unlike last time.
When I'm bored, I had no one to sms or talk to, unlike last time.
When I come online everytime, you seemed to be avoiding me, ignoring my messages and going offline, unlike last time.
Whenever my handphone beeps, how I prayed that the sms came from you. But deep down inside, i knew myself, that that wouldnt be possible, unlike last time.
As I look at the card you gave me on Xmas', I would try hard to struggle to hold back my tears. My mind keeps think of the past. Unlike last time, whenever i read it, I would feel so happy. My mind doesnt think of the past, it moves to our future. But, that was last time.
Whenever someone sees the Neoprints we took in my wallet, they would exclaim loudly, "Who's that?" I would reply, "A Friend." It hurts, everytime. But I just cant bear to take it out. 28th of November there wrote. That pretty and wonderful smile on your face. But, that was last time.
So much things we have yet to do. Snow-city, Ice-skating, K-box, Basketball.. etc. Once, we even talked about Hawaii. And we have yet to bake that chocolate cake. I hope you remember these little things you've left in my heart. Simply because, I will. I'm sorry. I really am.

Holy Innocents' went head to head with North View Sec yesterday. and guess what? Yes! we won! haha. incredible match.
1st Quarter: 12 - 12 (Draw)
2nd Quarter: 31 - 21 (Hihs Leading)
3rd Quarter: 45+ - 45+ (I Forgot Score, But I remembered they caught up)
4th Quarter: 63 - 59 (Game Set)
wah lao, at third quarter i thought we're gonna lose. but they turned EXTREMELY rough at the forth quarter. i dont know why, but they kept drawing fouls. it was more than 3 fouls in less than 2 minutes, which means 6 freethrows. that 6 freethrows probably helped us win the match.
i was praying so damn hard. when they fired a ball, i prayed: pls air-ball pls air-ball..
when we fired a shot, i prayed: pls chop pls chop..
lol, sounds comical, but this is really a extremely crucial match to get into round 2. Conclusion: This 'B' Division Boys Basketball Tournament is TOTALLY different from last year's 'C' Division Boys Basketball Tournament. The atmosphere, experience, oppoents are totally different.
and.. raphael cried! so damn happy sia. we were like hugging each other and shaking hands. lol..
2 more matches to go, against Marsling and Si Ling Sec.. next monday and next next tuesday.
okay, enough of basketball. had physics and social studies test today. social studies was quite ok, but physics.. die man! i had no idea what the hell gradient and all the graph shit was, i thought never test that so i never study! and i mixed frequency and hertz up, so i agar-agar.. perhaps already lost over 15 - 20 marks already. out of 60.
alright, thats all.
1 More Day, And Its One Month. One Painful Month. One Month, But I Still Dont Know Why.

going against Northview Sec tomorrow. today's training was so fun, and funny. we learn new tactics from our former coach's brother who toke over for today's training.
hope tomorrow must win. if tml lose, then 100% no chance or getting in to seconds round liao.
was having literature lessons today. there was a part on act one scene 5, (shakespear's twelfth night", where Olivia falls in love with Viola. Olivia makes the first move
and comical Luo Er said, "err, where got women chase guys one.. so 'bu yao lian..'".
then miss jill lee said, "so u saying i 'bu yao lian' right?"
immediately we knew what she meant. we started laughing, and she continued,
"when u see someone you like, never hesitate and never let go of that chance. I've never regretted what i did. so, its not 'bu yao lian'"
it turned out pretty serious, but still comical, though. wonder when is miss lee gonna be "mrs".. rofl.
What can i ever do so you'll accept my apology? If you would only believe me one last time, I'd like to say.. "I've never meant what I said, I'm truely sorry. But no matter what happens, I'll never give up." Life for me sucks, these days. I'm really depressed. I need you, I love you.

Magic: There are 3 types of people in this world.
#1: People who simply watch and enjoy magic shows.
#2: People who do not concentrade on the performance, instead, he/she starts thinking of how the trick is done, and tries to catch the magician's sleight of hands, or even worse, spoil the magician's show. These people are known as hecklers, basically, I hate doing magic with these people around.
#3: People who LEARN magic, instead of enjoying the show/foiling the magician's show, they learn it.
Tricks Count: 21
Tricks that I can do: 18
I've fooled basically all the boys in my class. There were a couple of hecklers, but i managed to escape with just a couple of "scratches".
Next group of people to fool: YOU.
Watch out this new year. Hehe.
