The Poem That Made Me Famous
Has, Have or Had
I look over from my rooftop,
to see the world in peace.
The sky is dark with stars,
my tears drop down with ease.
I could have choosen suffering,
I could have choosen death.
I could have switch places,
with a friend who never left.
To suffer in silent is painful,
To grieve in death insaneful.
They want you to stay strong,
because life is never wrong.
Wipe away your tears my child,
please do not be sad.
For we are always in your heart,
be it has, have or had.

Making a Trophy for Magic Competition 2009
I wanna make a trophy for our 070209 annual magic the gathering competition. But first I need something that looks like a trophy. Arh... I got it. I can use a very nice wine bottle which I had. Hee.
.jpg)
See the nice wine bottle? But I got a problem of removing the stickers pasted on the bottle. Took about half an hour to get rid of it. See below the washing part...
.jpg)
Then I realised the back side also have sticker... I nearly cried, but I told myself, since I made up my mind to make a trophy, I should just do it. Make everyone happy is my happiness. Hee.
.jpg)
The washing part is quite hard as the stickers stick very stickly to the bottle making it hard to remove. Anyway, I just wash and scrab and peel my way through and finally got the finished product.
.jpg)
Seeing the shining bottle in front of me touches my heart a bit. A small drop of tears fall from my teddy bear's eyes. (just kidding)
.jpg)
Now comes part 2 of this project. How to decorate it nicely. Well, I used 18 x 1 magic the gathering card to fold them into 3 boxes and uses them for decoration purposes. See below for explainations.
.jpg)
I was actually thinking of making 3 boxes and then put them on top the wine bottle, sort of making it look like an UFO thingy, well the end result was not bad at all. Hee.
.jpg)
The folding of everything took about 25 mins plus the combining and the taping time as well. Since I hide all the flaps away, there is some taping to be done if not it will fall apart. (note, if the flaps are outside as shown above, no taping is needed at all, but of course uglier)
.jpg)
After everything is done, I need to put them together with a triangle in the middle so as to let the mouth of the wine bottle through. So I decided to use needles and string to tie them together. Well....
.jpg)
I realised that the needle is shorter then the card itself, this means that if i pierce the card on one side, it will never come out the other side, so I got a problem. How to string them all together then?
.jpg)
After much thought, I finally thought of using the metal ruler which is long enough and strong enough to enter and exit and also just taping the string to the ruler is good enough to let the string through.
.jpg)
However, after trying the needle string method, it is not strong enough so i abandon the whole idea and went with the tapes again. So the end product looks something like this. Therefore all I need now is to print the name and date of our tournament and paste it at the bottom and there you have it, a trophy!!
.jpg)
I added a small red ribbon and something at the top. No more faces on our trophy this year. It's DAMNATION!!! May the best man win.

i phone girl
This is the Iphone girl the whole world is crazy about. Just in case you, my friend dun noe about her or not sure, I took the opportunity to show her cute face to you.
Well, I sure say she is super hardworking and efficient with her work, to play test the equipment before it is release to the market. And also the good hygiene aka the cap and gloves in the background environment is clap clap hand one. But I do feel this instant fame of her's is really blowing out of proportion.
Imagine if I am her boyfriend, I really dun noe what to think. To have the whole world downloading her cute picture every second and putting her cute victory picture up as their laptop's wallpapers. OMG!!
Well, if you are really into cute pictures, please download mine below -_-" A little bit of fame sure does no harm. Lol!! Cheers and may the world be peaceful always. God bless everyone including the Iphone girl and her bf.

The Day I Bowl A Score Of 105
Its's been a long time since I last wrote in my blog. How time flies when you are having fun. It is going to be a new semenster coming monday and it will be back to books, lecture notes, tutorials, library, lab, computing etc etc.... but one thing is different. MY FRIENDS LEFT.
There will no longer be some one there to look out for me. There will be no more lunch buddies. There will be no one to remind me for any test in classes. There will be no one to copy during tests. There will be no hi/bye even. Life will be more lonely for me, as if I am not lonely enough. Cut the crap, this is not what I want to talk about. I wanna talk about my bowling.
THANKS TO ZHAOXIN FOR HER KIND UNDERSTANDING N HER LISTENING EAR. BI, I LOVE U N MISS U. MAY GOD BLESS U ALWAYS.
There will no longer be some one there to look out for me. There will be no more lunch buddies. There will be no one to remind me for any test in classes. There will be no one to copy during tests. There will be no hi/bye even. Life will be more lonely for me, as if I am not lonely enough. Cut the crap, this is not what I want to talk about. I wanna talk about my bowling.
I don't know if it is because I am facing a down period in my bowling then i write this blog or it is because I too long never write in my blog then I write this blog. Anyway, just want to share some of my point of view.
1) I don't bowl like before. In the past, no matter my prime or not prime, I had never bowl a 105 score before. Even if I am just playing around with my friends using my left hand, closing my eyes to bowl, or play hook, my scores are always min 130++ however today, in my school league, I bowl a ridiculous 105. I open my first 8 frames. Yes, 8. 9th frame I strike, 10th frame I got 9 spare and a strike to get 105. I know to some of you out there, 105 is considered high enough, but to me, a bowler who had bowled 14 years, it is just not right. How the hell did this happen? Must be the chicken rice i ate at yishun before I took the shuttle bus to occ. Or it may be because of the bundong i drank... or it could be just me.
2) I hope you all know, if you all don't know, I will say it now. I am just learning line target for the past 2 months. What is line targeting? Well, if you look carefully at the bowling lanes, there is a lot of lines there. Every 5 lines is seperated by an arrow. so there is a total of 7 arrows for us to aim and throw at it. I never know this. Apparently the previous coach I had when I was in the Yishun JC bowling team never told me this, or I was not paying attention, which ever come first.
so I started training my lines and I thought 14/15 is quite a nice line for me to get my strikes. I still cannot forget one sentence I said to my friends when I was training with this line. I said " I din know bowling was this easy !!" I take back my words now. In fact, I ate them. If bowling is easy, pigs can fly. Next line I tried is 20/20. It's a cool line to play with because you just aline ur shot with the head pins and no matter the ball goes 1/2 or 1/3 pocket, it may strike, but of course if it is that easy, pigs can fly. So my point is, for a bowler with only 2 months of experience bowling with lines, there is no doubt I'll get 105. I am just too confused when everyone starts yelling and telling me this and that and asking me what line I play and how much spin I did,just throw to the head pins and things like that. Come on man, I am just a bowler with 2 months experience of line targeting. Give me a break. I am still learning, I am still trying to figure out things, I am still experimenting, I am no genius, I know. Do you think remy ong can bowl very well with just 2 months of training? Unless that person is a genius, if not I believe none can.
3) I already forgot how I used to bowl when I bowled with the technique call FEEL. Ever since Uncle Adam taught me to throw lines, hit targets, I am like totally brainwash and cannot remember how I throw with FEEL and everytime I do throw with FEEL, it is just not there anymore, thus I can only used my line targets and like I said before, if I can bowl well with just 2 months of training line targeting, pigs can fly.
4) Lastly, I would like to say this, please dun ask me to change balls. I know myself best. I am not bowling well, it is not because my ball's not good. If a pianist don't play the piano well, they blame the piano? If a cop don't shoot the target correctly, they blame their guns? If tiger woods don't hit the golf ball far enough, he blame the stick, the wind, the grass, the audience, the sun? No, he blames himself. It is not my ball's fault, it is my fault. I am going through a down and low period of my bowling since the uitm team events. I had this before and I know I can overcome this low period. Every sports man have their down period. Look at david beckham, look at err... err... david beckham... zidane, figo, all these footballers, going through rough time/bad patch is very normal for them. I should not be upset, should not give up, should train harder for the SUG. I think by then I should master my lines targeting and by then I would have a 12-13 pound reactive spinner ball ready to fight and show that one bad period of time does not kill me, it just makes me stronger.
Last but not least, I will like to make this announcement. When I got the ippt Gold during my army days, People Call Me FLYING PIG. Thanks for reading.
THANKS TO ZHAOXIN FOR HER KIND UNDERSTANDING N HER LISTENING EAR. BI, I LOVE U N MISS U. MAY GOD BLESS U ALWAYS.

exactly 3 years ago
Hi people, how's everybody doing? Hope everything's work out find for you. Was looking through my blog just now and happen to chance upon my blog dated 31032005. wow, i wrote in my blog exactly 3 years ago and today is 3103008. Well, if you happen to like to see what was my entry, kindly refer below. Hee.
As usual, during the month of April, we are having exams. As usual, I am not very confident. It has been like this since the start of my Uni life. However, due to the Grace of God, I don't think I am right to accuse myself of not being able to do well. I am made rightneous by the Grace of God. There is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Well, I learned these 2 phrases from my brother and God bless him for teaching me the true meaning. There is only 1 truth. Agreeded brother?
No more living in the past, meaning no more "if only" and no more living in the future, meaning no more "what if". I am living now and NOW alone. I love you God. Thank you for your Grace and for making me rightneous. Amen!!

What's the point of writing a blog when really nobodies see it? if you happen to read, can u leave me a comment? at least i know someone just drop by to read something i write. thanks. my exams are coming, and i am beginning to feel the tension building up behind my back, between my neck and the spine area. well, it is not as if i am not preparing. i am, but maybe not hard enough. by the way, i am from NTU, suppose to be the second best uni in singapore, but to me, NTU is the best. and boy am I lucky to get in.
enough said. actually, i do have a diary at www.my-diary.org which i write most of my stuffs in it. personal, private, my secrets etc. well, i just feel not nice using a blog as a diary because i think people do have an inner self which really do not want to expose. but dun worry, cause i am not hiding my true self while writing this. just not personal stuff.
www.friendster.com is starting their own blog, maybe i will start writing there soon if there are really like zero response over here. all right, wishes all my family members and friends to be healthy and happy always and be bless by God. good night. in fact i should say good morning.
