after so long, just feel like blogging a lil before class starts.
its been boring in school. exams in may which i'm pia-ing for now. after which, results in august where i'll send my transcripts to ANU and UQ. living in australia sounds good. but i guess the cost of living would probably put you off. which is why i die die wanna go ANU. that's where the brumbies at (: and matt giteau's coming to the brumbies next season (:
i've got 2 fly halfs whom i think are probably the best there are now. Matt Giteau and Dan Carter..
Dan Carter... Man, this guy is pure class. sheer athlethism. what else can i say? he's probably the best in the world. and he's about my height. yes! hope for us! i think his body's just nice. strong enough to come up against crazy flankers like george smith and schalk burger (1.8+++) yet at the same time nimble enough.
Matt Giteau. This guy's seriously under rated. he led a come back against the crusaders. and he's about the same height also. but he's a little too big. not nimble and quick on his feet compared to Carter. but he packs a punch.
SO the regime to convert to a back begins.
sprints, explosive leg exercise, lunges all to improve speed and agility. i do hope that when i go back for training after the exams, i'll be faster and hopefully fit enough to play as a back!
i last played as wing for the u23. man, i got burnt by robin. fly robin fly. well, at least when we start training for u23s, he'll be on our side (: i'd hate to play against syd, zianol and euan man.. we're looking strong for the u23s.
u20s also. captain bobby. truckloads of talent man.
alright! no dithering, back to the drawing board/books and notes/stupid slope that i sprint up
COME ON SRC U23PS. PLAYING LOCK IS INCREDIBLY DISGUSTING AND I RESPECT ALL LOCKS HENCEFORTH. JUST ASK TAI.

been rather busy with school and spiritual milk camp.
Spiritual milk camp's good. really admire helu's drive and dedication for this camp. respect for him man.
standing in the middle though my appointment is that for YPM, i can better see where 2 sides are coming from. both sides have its way of doing things. its common that there are clashes but to sit and talk about it rather than react and keeping your misgivings within the ministry, we're rally far from it. its a church la damn it. why the secrecy man? heh, let someone else deal with this. hopefully the next person that sees this rift would attempt to rectify it. not me man. i'm done playing this game being the fall guy. someone else please.. maybe my brother jabez? yeah, he'll probably be the man to mend this broken bridge. think he'd do well (:
working with lowell is really great! enjoy being S3 with him for this camp. good communication and its kinda like the same chemistry with 2 rugby flankers. 1 would tackle, the other to recover the ball. last time i felt so much joy doing that was with good ol' capitano saha. man, miss being No.6
hopefully, after this camp, the working relationship between these 2 ministries would get better. for the Glory of His Kingdom yo! (:

alright! since i've to do duty, might as well make the most of the free time to blog.
whoa! its been damn long since the last post. hahaha, got that right gabe, its mouldy... hey! happy belated birthday! sorry i forgot about it. shucks.. in any case, hope you'll stay strong in the Lord! =)
which begs the strange experience i've felt. i'd rather do duty or stay up during the weekends than to go to church and serve. its funny because usually its the other way round. well, i made some mistakes in the past. alright, make that major mistakes which i'm not proud of which i'm really sorry and regret doing. but i've come to realise that in my life so far, non-christians don't judge or look at you in the condemning way as compared to church mates. to be honest, i dread going down to church and have to put up with those eyes. eyes waiting for you to screw up followed by a resounding,"see! i told you so! i was right! he's like that." heh, not judging nor mentioning anyone's name by the way. just a general vibe. well, i don't hope and expect people to just come up and forgive me for what i've done wrong in the past. its more like a... vibe. thats all. so this post should NOT be marked as a post to slam or to cause controversy.
as spoken to gabe and mel, leaders are placed for a reason and so are people. they may or may not be difficult to work with but i'm sure He has His purpose. so with that, i'd like to assure readers that i'm honestly cool and i've learnt to deal with things from another perspective. so yeap, don't ever ever read my blog and go,"shit... is that me?" nah. this post is just for me to say what i think. so don't worry. it's cool =)
haha, my boss just sent me his predictions for 4D. heh, he's super funny man. he's the type of leader that is firm but expects and gives you the best he can. like welfare. once, we had to work late and he willingly forked out quite a bit to order pizza for us. not bad.. super impressive.
recently, i've been put to the sword with my buddies (craig, jansen, owen, marcus, alvin and mr.dy). but to be honest, its fun! alright, its tiring la. but you get the adrenaline high from going down to the ground and making sure everything goes well. when there is bottleneck, it gets really exciting to think and respond to it. trains you to think under pressure. think a fly half reacting to a flanker chasing him down. bottlenecks happen all the time. i don't think we've ever come across an exercise without dealing with missing vehicles, missing drivers and stuff.. tension does rise. especially with the regulars. but all is forgotten when the objective is met and when we sit down for a cup of coffee to reflect and look back on how we can improve. its great! i mean, we get things done. if there's one thing i've learnt from work, it has to be learning respond and not react. honestly i thank God for gifting me the strength to cope with the impending stress and even handling it well! =)
alright, back to my topic. when i encounter that huge situation with my buddies, i'm loving it. the sense of "WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER! LET'S GO!" in the admin/logistic battlefield. but when i'm with the church guys, i don't really get that.. not that i'm criticising or anything. i guess i just have to sort it out within myself. on why i feel that way with non christians but not with christians. and to do something about it. don't get me wrong, i'm not backsliding.. in fact, i'm closer and i see God so much more now. and i'm just assured all the time that i'm His child and when i ask Him for something, He really provides. that was a great experience. share it here next time when i'm ready to.
managed to speak to my cousin during the hiatus from blogging. it was really good and enlightening. he helped me to put things in perspective and we got down to goal setting. couldn't have wished for a better cousin man. thank God for him. and the other 2 as well.
i've just another 2 more months into service, after that, its hardcore studying.. my life in service has been... disappointing? i know word has been flying around my peers that i've been super slack and stuff. well... does anyone know i aspired to do my best? in BMT i was pushing myself but i have to admit that when i got injured real bad, i just gave it all up and sank deeper and deeper. i thought,'why the heck la! just get downgraded.." i'm not regretting it. its the path i took. but to be honest, getting my shoulders operated on was a bonus. at least it doesn't pop out every other time =D
in any case, i gotta get ready to turn in. good night world!

my cousin's leaving later.
damn, i feel alone. suddenly, i'm beginning to miss my family.
thinking back to the days where i picked up football at the park near watten estate.
the love affair that started with liverpool in malacca.
and the john barnes poster that followed on moses' bedroom wall.
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

surprisingly, van was right. The Chronicles of Spiderwick turned out to be quite alright. not too bad a movie. effects and visuals were good. the griffin looked rather cool. the snacks in GV are much better than in cathay. and an freaking australia jersey costs 150 buckeroos! its too much man. i mean 100 is alright. but 150? nah.. but zhang qi gave an important point though. rugby jerseys are nicer than football ones.
so 1 down, some more to go! nice movies galore but no time man..
should probably check out picturehouse for some artsy movie.
its the event this friday. i'm gonna get dunk. with daniel li and lowell. i strongly doubt i will. cause of my fresh stitches. if doc tang realises i got dunked, i'll be dead man...
speaking of which, its good to know that as every week goes by, i get a better impression of daniel li. and its good that slowly the ice is melting. perhaps we might end up as good friends like david? but its good anyhow. seeing that we could never get along since our music room days.
therefore the quote, "never say never"
its true man. i never expected myself to open up to the idea of pink. kai chi can testify. but now i guess i'm alright? but still no to hot pink.
