FTE Results

quite surprised with my results.
didnt expect to get 29 in class?
i tot id do much worst?
it says here, "PROMOTED TO SEC4 EXPRESS"
thank god.

had Inter-Class soccer today.
Proud to announce i was top scorer for 10 mins.
Until Eugene 3F scored 1
and Kannan 3I scored 2.
wait.
means i was top scorer for 20 mins?
well, doeant really matter cuz 3G is out already.

but i'm not so sad.
can see how strong out opponents are.
we can be considered quite unlucky.
But sometimes losing by stupid goals is just irritating?!?!
oh well, tmr will be the semi finals and finals.

3B, 3H, 3I, 3F

3F is hanging on
3B has the teamwork and skills
3H has the speed and drive.
3I has the brains?
kidding
3I are all rounded and pack a punch.

seriously i dont know who will win but for some reason
i have a feel for 3H.
dunnoe la.
i just wish i cud be there la.

I happen to find them addictive.

My Australian relatives came by.
Had much fun wif em.

My my..
a post draught in my blog.
Well people like me arent that interested in posting exam results on blogs anyway.

But to tell you the truth,
i am keen to let you know that ALL students in 3G are going to Year 4 EXPRESS NEXT YEAR!!
so NOW we can start worrying about class jerseys and all.
however i do have a feeling nobody's gonna pay.

Anyways,
it has already been almost one month since fasting month started.
And today, (12.15 AM, Sunday)
will be the second last day of fasting for this year.
Without a doubt there is a mixed feeling in most Muslim's heart.

that exciting feeling that Hari Raya is 2 days away and on top of that, all you can eat plus green packets.
but that safe and secure feeling of being protected by god will be gone.
that holy presence will be missing again for one year.

so at the end of the day, we ask ourselves.
have we used this holy month to the maximum of our benefits.
for me, the answer is definitely no.
inevitably.
but a stronger religious feeling now resides in my heart.
and i hope it remains for a long time come.

well, ive got 2 more days.
wonder what i'll do.


BATTLEFIELD TOUR ON MONDAY

Gd DAY Mayte!!

today is a long anticipated day for me.
my relatives from Australia have supposedly arrived in Singapore at 2 am this morning.
hope they had a safe journey

they will be living at my aunt's house
for their time here, around 1 month.
this is the second time they have come back to Singapore for Hari Raya.
I will be visiting them in a few hours time and i'm really excited.
there are so many things to chat about.
just hope they dont ask about results though.
hehe.

a little bit more on them, my nephews,
they were borned in Singapore
and then migrated to Perth, Australia, some years back.
they've been living there since then
and have returned quite a few times.

They are probably the closest relatives i have and know.
I really envy them for being able to live in Australia.

NCOs

first training as a full-pledged NCO yesterday.
According to CLTs, it ran smoothly
and it was a good first attempt.

Well, im happy about it.
but there sure are ALOT of things to work on.

Part B's (sec2) marching really disappointed me.
they did much better before.
but obviously they are still not in the mood for NCC yet.
its only the first training after a long break.
so its normal.
but there are things dat are not caused by this.
they dont seem lazy to march properly.
rather, they seem so inexperienced and blur.
as if they dont know what to do.

well, we have 2 months till sec 1 orientation.
till then, we'll have to stress on footdrill all the way.

Girls + Soccer = ?

Been seeing alot of girls playing soccer these days.
Specifically, at SAFRA.
Yesterday was an ALL-GIRLS team.
Today was mixed.

Its rare to see a girl dribble the ball so fast, with such skill.
It feels as if she is better than you.
Even rare to see girls going up against boys,
in a game that is so aggressive.

Seriously, as much as i LOVE soccer,
girls are meant for many other things.
You want to play a sport?
why not badminton? or swimming?
pool?
bowling?
netball?
volleyball?
basketball even?
You ppl dont look good with street soccer shoes, stopping the ball with ur CHEST, and heading the ball here and there.

I'm not being sexist.
But i'm against girls playing soccer.
But by all means those who love it, play it and have as much fun as you can.
This is only my personal opinion.

But i gotta admit,
those that were playing today were damn fine.

My friend came along,
saw the court filled with girls.
First reaction,


NEXT TEAM!

Haze and Mosquitos

the haze is back.
so are the mosquitos

and as i was tearing my way back from the mosque
i was also scratching my neck which suffered 2 massive blows (bites)
and one more on my arm.

not to mention that these are new editions onto my collection of 7.

wait...


..could it be?


mosquitos thrive in hazy weather???


maybe.


well, played soccer today.
yes even though i was fasting
"some" ppl broke fast cuz they cudnt take it
i wont mention who.

but I, Abdul Aziz am proud to announce that i survived playing
soccer under the hot hot sun, in hazy weather, barefooted
and still not break my fast illegaly.


WELL DONE!

even worse.

I Dream : Leann Rimes vs Taufik Batisah

CONFIRM!!
Leann Rimes travel to the future,
steal the song
and sing in 2001.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq0lyaBsHyY

kidding.
seems to be some kind of conspiracy here.
the song I Dream
was supposedly written for the finalists of Singapore Idol
and was to be honoured to the winner.

sadly
Leann Rimes sang it in 2001.
making the song unoriginal
and arising question marks towards the person who 'wrote' the song.
i read it on the papers.

they said Leann Rimes sang an almost similar version

see this video

what the hell
its exactly the same

i dunnoe wad to comment.

wow. so many ppl getting married today.
went out of house.
saw a wedding car parked outside.
waiting at bus stop,
a wedding car passed by.
inside bus on the way to Paradiz,
saw another wedding car.
just now, at safra,
another wedding car.
could have been the oddest wedding car ive seen
a red Chevrolet.

2 wedding dinners at Safra's Pioneer Restaurant.
Anything held there is super grand.
Confirm high class the kind of people.

Anyway the haze isnt getting any better.
Or maybe it did a little bit.
I still feel eye irritation.
And i cud hardly see the Singapore Skyline just now.
Like i said. have to bear with it.
Asthma ppl please dun go out too much.
and dun think being inddors in air-conned places is good too.

haze air + air con air = bad bad air.

and i finally completed Crisis Zone.
Some arcade shooting game.
completed all 3 stages plus bonus stage.
2 tokens.
the last token wasted.
had to use it in order to complete bonus stage.


RANKING 6th!!

My Virgin EYES!!!

I swear the haze is irritating.
Dunnoe if you ppl have noticed it yet.
But i just noticed the intensity of the haze last night.
While Iskandar claimed to have noticed a "change in atmosphere"
a few weeks ago.
I tought he lied.

Well, it certainly didnt make walking easy.
While others can simply ignore it like nothing was there,
a few of us walking to Hill Lock (Bukit Purmei)
got some eye irritation
my friend with Asthma had to cover his mouth and nose
so walking around these days arent that healthy
but exams are ending anyway
so if u wanna kill yourself go ahead.

wait.

shudnt you do that before the exams?

well. i dunnoe
for all i know this haze is a result of major deforestaion in Indonesia.
Well, not the first time it happened.
But little by little this is gonna affect the environment quite badly.
News say it'll end in 2 days.
Just have to bare with it.

Talking about last night.
It was Chinese and Indians(Hindus)
Back to back
Chinese were out for some Lantern Festival or is it Mooncake
which i tot was days ago.
Hill Lock was filled with kids and parents having some fun under the full moon.
While Hindus were at the open field beside Radin Mas Primary for some celebrations of some sort?
All this, while Muslim Malays and Indians go to Mosque for prayers.

So i guess, really nobody was at home last night?
really was a lively night. Loved it.

As for me, i didnt really pray.
Went to play soccer with some Henderson peepz at Hill Lock
MY FIRST DOZE OF SOCCER AFTER AROUND 1 MONTH.
hey. its the fasting month. u cant see me running around in the day.
so the night is my opportunity.
my chance
my saviour

we knocked out 4 teams in a row.
which was AMAZING
with ISKANDAR as goalkeeper.
upfront was me, Jaarvis and Azhar(not my father)
I didnt know Jaarvis played that well.
And Azhar was as good as usual.
Me? BAGUUUUUUUS (good)

funny thing was this super gay strong team was playing.
I was 101% sure we were gonna lose.
We started the match.
2 mins later
We Won.
Shortest game of that night.

3 cheers to soccer.

EL Paper 2 down

And yet another paper down today.
EL Paper 2
that sums up everything that we have to do for English for the year.

The passage was easy to understand.
And the questions werent too difficult.
But there was awfully too many 1 mark questions.
And since no half marks will be given for partially correct answers,
if u screw up in a 1 mark question,
there will be no pity marks.
and since there are so many such questions,
a person may fail due to this.

thats why my 1 mark answers were as long as those u wud see in a 3 mark answer.

Prevention is better than cure.

Even when they asked for one reason, i stated 2.
Is dat suppoased to be okay?

Well, trying hard to recall all POA solutions.
Emaths 2? Forget it.
Not gonna pass it anyway.
So tonight will be POA all the way.

Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, Cash Book, General Journals, Trading Account, Profit Loss Account, Bank Reconciliation, Bank Account, Balance Day Adjustments, Book of original entry.

Finally!!
50th post of this blog!
goddamned, i'm a slow blogger.

it wez the long awaited Geography paper ytday.
Followed by a well-anticipated Chemistry paper.
well
both were long awaited.
but im glad to say Geography turned out okay
for the first time, i feel a possibility of passing after handing up a Geog assignment.
i was all smiles when Benny reminded me of reality.
its true.
FOr Geog, we always think we would pass.
but in the end
the marking schemes were different,
standards were high
and we "unexpectedly" fail the paper.
well, only thing to do is hope for the best isnt it.

im still hitting myself for the stupid mistake i made in Chem paper.

Name the reducing agent in this process

I answered Carbon Monoxide.

CORRECT ANSWER!!


..until


I cancelled it and put Calcium Oxide instead.
why?
because the next line was something like:
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen are the waste products in this process..

so i figured if carbon monoxide was a waste product,
it wudnt be reducing agent wud it?

Naive thinking

though that question was worth onli one mark
i think it will be a costly one.
i scored 50% for Chem last semester.
i cant afford to lose marks like that.
again,


HOPE FOR THE BEST!

Return

For some reason, i wasnt able to access blogger for some time.
If u had followed my tagboard, i was discussing on SG Idol
but no time for that now.

ive been reading up on Chemistry for the past hour.
Still, nothing has completely entered my brain.
I dont know.
Shud i continue on Chem or use the night to study Geog.
Im really afraid of tmr's papers.

I barely passed Chem last semester.
Passing it now wud be some sort of an impossibility at my current state.
Geography. Well. Not many pass it anyway.
But if i want any chance of passing Humanities,
i wud have to score at least 40% for this paper.
Also seemingly impossible.

Anyway, did SS and Emaths1 just now
Emaths was not as hard as i tot.
But passing?
HELL NO.
Im trying to say that i wont get lower than 10 marks.

SS. I just didnt have enough time.
My last question, structured essay, was 4 lines long.
Level 1 answer i think.
That wud give me.. 2 marks?
Damn it. I focused too much on Source based qns.
ANd i dun thiink i did them correctly too.

Singapore Idol

well i cant really watch it
cuz i have to make it to the mosque everynight for prayers
not really complaining though

at least i get to watch 20 mins of it at SAFRA nearby.
i end my prayers at around 9pm
walk to SAFRA and reach at 9.10
so i watch it there live on the big screen for 20 mins

good enough to see who wins.

i nvr really took sides.
halfway through the spectaculars
i predicted Hady and Jon to be there.
but by watching the highlights of ytday's showdown
i wud say Hady did a better job.
both on their chosen songs and the new song.

so i predict Hady will win
though Jon really got some decent voters.

whoever wins
not as if their gonna go to World Idol anyway.
nor last for more than 2 years?
come to think of it,

Beginning Of Ramadan

so it has begun
the long awaited (??) fasting month of the Muslim calender.
its onli 12.30 pm now and my stomach is complaining
for yer info, break fast is around 7pm

and did you realize
break fast sounds like breakfast!?!?
did you!?!
IRONIC LEH!

k obviously im trying to waste time.
but actually. dats not the true way to fast.
you shudnt just sleep around doing nothing,
waiting for sunset to arrive.

the fasting month is also knowned as the holy month of the year.
all evil spirits are tied up. (dun fear the 7th month anymore; isit still on?)
sins will be washed away
even the smallest good doings, will be recognized greatly.
so basically, it is the time to act like an angel
and hopefully, after one month of doing so,
you will find your true self and continue acting like how u have been!

as for me, im gonna try me best not to skip Subuh(morning prayer)
anymore,
not to delay all 5 of my prayer times
cut down on vulgarities
help others in need
and all the good stuff u can think about.

i cant blog much now
got Chemistry to study.
and hopefully on this holy month,
god will hear my call for help
and help me in this battle against education.


ONWARD!

MY HANDPHONE

okay, not the fanciest of all handphones
some random sony ericsson shit
and its second hand anyway
but fuck
i bought it for 130 bucks
who would give me 130 bucks?
you? the person who visits my blog?
this marks the 3rd time i lost contact with my phone
and the 2nd time i lost it

meaning there was once i left it in the taxi,
kept calling and calling it,
and recovered it.

so i got screwed.
but i wasnt just gonna let it be.
i rode 3 times, the bus that i lost the phone in.
and i reported it at the interchange.
sadly, it was raining and i brought an umbrella
even more sadly, i left the umbrella in the bus.

and..so i got screwed
freaking hellishly, that umbrella was my fathers favourite.


dats not all.


MY TELEVISION (not exactly mine)

is not working properly. both of em.
the first one suffers some kind of "mechanical hiccups"
while ur keenly watching some animals mating on some documentary,
the screen turns black while emitting some irritating sound.

the second one
SOMEHOW has to preload.
preloading television?
i have one!
it takes 15 mins for it to turn from a blank screen
to a full coloured one.


SADLY

my computer monitor
suffers from "mechanical hiccups" too


so THIS is wad i call pain.

without ipod and handphone
my pocket feels so empty
i cant play games properly
i cant watch tv properly
i cant fucking think properly

Believe - Yellowcard

Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out
Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive
But you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.
Be strong. Believe.

Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day
Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out
Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring them down alive
And you still came back for me
You were strong and you believed

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.


Again today, we take into our hearts and minds those who
perished on this site five years ago, and also those who came
to toil in the rubble to bring order out of chaos, to help us
make sense of our despair

Wanna hold my wife when I get home
Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile
Wanna make a change right here right now
Wanna live a life like you somehow
Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Be strong. Believe.


Think about the love inside the strength of heart
Think about the heroes saving life in the dark
Think about the chance I never had to say
Thank you for giving up your life that day

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget what they did here

Phase 2

right now, packing my bag for tmr's camp
NCOs Course, better knowned as Leadership Course.
not too long, 2 days 1 night.

shud have nothing to fear in this camp.
its mainly specialization trainings
meaning, an Administrative Sergeant would learn admin stuff,
Quartermaster would learn logistics stuff,
and things like that

i dont really know wad im up against actually
i dunnoe wad an Assistant Platoon Sergeant(APS) has to train on.
Additionally, my APS post isnt confirmed yet.
which gives me this big fear of screwing up.

but i dont think i'll be IC of any big shit
and as long as i give standard,
pay attention, do things the right way,
think before i speak and do,
i shud be leaving the camp with a smile.

It has been a great and long fight for this APS appointment.
Ive been holding on to it for quite a time.
Appointment list was pinned on the board and for a moment i felt relieved.
But now, they reannounce dat the the appointments are tentative.
Just have to keep on fighting

So wad REALLY to expect?
Talks, lessons, field cooking, cheering for food,
sleeping damn late, waking up early,
sharing of toilets

CROCS RULE

The irony of getting killed by something you once lived to protect


Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (22 February 1962 - 4 September 2006)
was an Australian naturalist, wildlife expert and television personality. He was best known for the programme The Crocodile Hunter, an unconventional wildlife documentary series he hosted with his wife, Terri Irwin.


"I consider myself a wild-life warrior. My mission is to save the world's endangered species." - the aforementioned


Unfortunately, on September 4th 2006, he was fatally pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while off in the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. He was filming for an upcoming documentary series which would have featured his 8 year old daughter. Irwin was pronounced dead at noon. He was not killed by the sting itself, but by from a puncture through his heart.


Several Australian news websites went down due to high web traffic and talk-back radio experienced a high volume of callers expressing their grief, commemorating his passion and exuberance.


Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, among many other politicians, expressed his "shock and distress" at the death, saying that "Australia has lost a wonderful and colourful son.” Steve was an ambassador of Australia's pride in wildlife and most importantly, for being himself.


It is the irony of getting killed by something you once lived to protect.


But loved ones are sure that Steve passed away with no regrets.


Steve was a great fan of Singapore Zoo, considering it a sister institution with the Australia Zoo.

NCC Reflection

Its been like 2 and a half years.
of what?
I wudnt say suffering. People before us have suffered more.
I'd say sweat and pain, overshadowed by fun, joy and laughter.
Joining NCC was definitely the right choice for me.
What is there to regret?
The push ups done?
Push ups are a good exercise.
The tekan sessions?
Those were great bonding activities.
Without them, camps wudnt have been memorable.
The boring trainings?
Wrong. They're not boring.


Soccer after training.
Illegal gatherings outside school, eating MAMEE snacks,
Joining forces to suan Mr Beh,
Joking with NCOs,
Enjoying the sun with footdrill,

Theres more than meets the eye.

One by one, we faced the many challenges.

We survived through series of Annual Camps,
Starred in Footdrill Competition,
but of course cocked up in ROD.

Im telling you.
What we're doing now is picking ourselves up.
We believe tomorrow will be a better day.
Whats the next project?
Sec 1 Orientation?
Bring it on!

And as i type. I realize that i am just one step away from being an NCO. By right, i already am.
Just have to go through Leadership Course Phase 2.
Appointments are already out and pinned on the board.
They were more or less expected results.

Passing of ROD

Anybody who watched our ROD
even an idiot
would know dat it sucked
And because of dat i feel cheated of months of practices,
moneys of money,
nights of sleepless..
..nights.


It wasnt dat bad actually
Things went according to schedule
And everything actually looked good
but the performance
except for Part B performance
was below mediocre.


Part C's performances was hugely disappointing compared to last year's.
Part A, being first timers, cocked up big time.
Part B was the very most impressive.


Other than performances,
everything else was really okay.
REALLY.


The hall looked stunning,
lightings were well controlled


ITS JUST TOO BAD
its inevitable to judge ROD by the performances
and they sucked!
We had problems getting the wireless mics.
And to make things worst, one of the Part As, dropped the mic in his performance,
which was the first
It broke, leaving us with 2 wireless mics
which we just dumped on some random box backstage.


The performances couldnt be heard
and the songs played werent too clear too
WHY?
because we were playing the sound from a laptop and just amplifying it with a mic.
WHY?
The sound system was down.
WHY?
Cos we suck? And our ROD just isnt meant to be?

Maybe not.

At least im proud of my NCC Video which played on the big screen for 5 mins.
For the first and last time in the whole function,
people had 5 mins of laughter and amusement.
It was the onli highlight that received a decent applause.

Victor was downright retarted.
Being an MC [ (emcee) wadever it is]
He just had to go for OBS the week before
and during ROD itself, he left halfway for guitar class.
leaving him with 2 hours to come up with speeches.
Check this out


*backstage*

Aziz: U have finale speech?
Victor: U wan me to do a finale speech?
Aziz: Duh.!! *omg*
Victor: Okay... *goes on stage*

Victor: That marks the end of our ROD performance. Now u may procede to the canteen to MAKAN! EH NO! This year we're doing it at the hall!


lol


Fortunately, food was nice.
Some kind of seafood fried rice.
Lemon chicken
Aziz = Chicken for life
So Aziz loved the food.
Fruit punch.
Good good.


So after that we did saikang, cleaning up the whole hall.
Took a lesser than expected time to complete.
Dismissed at 9pm, reflecting,


DEFINITELY NOT THE BEST ROD

ROD Update

Warning:This is just another post on NCC ROD
Read onli if interested!!

ROD

And so its Monday
This is the week most remembered by cadets,
for rushing through all their ROD performance preparations.
So wad have the Part B done?


Their preparations, i wud say, 85% done.
Their sketch is complete.
You can expect alot from their sketch.
Of course most fo you readers wont be watching but
im just saying its gonna be funny
IF
they get all the sound effects rite.
and if it doesnt turn out too messy.
They just need the sound effects
and the costumes.
For the creative performance, im using this week
to brush up on it.


Part A is doing quite well too.
Their sketch is done.
Not sure whether its funny but i hope so
Their creative performance,
i dont really know.
Rahim wont be around so it will all depend on Ali and Guo Sheng


*insert push up position here*


Part C.
I think everyone is looking forward to our performance
since last year's Ali Baba success.
Ali wont be starring in our current project.
Instead, it will be Luqman, Hardeep and I.
Sadly, i think we are gonna let our audience down.
For sure, this sketch isnt as funny as the last.
We just couldnt match last year's performance.
It CAN be funny. But the problem is we are not really sticking to outr scripts.
We may be good comedians. But we will always forget the good jokes we came up with.
But i'll try my best to work on dat this week too.


Chi Jie, Setiawan, Iskandar, Luqman and I went to No.1 Costume Costume just now.
Had a hell of a time putting on masks and wigs.
Most funny wud be Iskandar wearing a Saddam Hussein mask.
And Chi Jie was Michael Jackson.
PICTURES TO BE POSTED LATER
We found out the prices and we will go back on friday to buy/rent them.

First of all. I wasnt in so much of a good mood.
Countless mosquito bites caused a serious lack of sleep last night.
I went to bed at 11. Rolled in bed (in reality a mattress) until 1.30 before truly falling asleep. On top of it all, i woke up at 9am knowing that there was a wedding to attend. Those that are really not of ur problem but u are forced to go to because you are SOMEHOW related.


It was going to be a long MRT ride. Even before reaching Tiong Bahru Station, i quarelled with my parents and refused to talk to them for the rest of the journey, always sitting or standing or walking at a distance. In a sense, showing attitude. It was kind of dumb, considering the reason i did it for.


But God wanted to show me something. A few stations before reaching Jurong East Station, a decent looking boy entered the door in front of me. He looked cautious and seemed to look at someone/thing else before he entered. Wadever it was, he went on to lean against the wall opposite of me.


5 minutes later, a middle aged man, casually dressed, along with a little girl, smaller than the boy, walked past me and approached the boy. It didnt take me too long to realize the similarity between the boy and I. We were both avoiding our parents. This boy's story though, would have an even tragic ending.


In the middle of the train (actually at the last section) he got scolded by his father. His sister obediently looking at him. Dozens of ppl watched. The degree of anger from his dad, i would rate 4/5. He wasnt so loud. It was loud enough for at least 2 sections of the train to hear. I think he did the right thing. He didnt say anything that would insult his son, onli knocking some sense in him. Telling him the reality and consequences of wad he was doing or wad he was going to do. The son and the daughter onli stared out of the window. Without a doubt, they were deep in reflection.


So wad really happened was that probably, he had a conflict with his father and decided to do things himself. Sounded too familiar to me. The scolding went on for a few mintues until the father himself, left his children alone to think, especially the son. They then alighted at Jurong East.


There were mixed reactions. An Ah Pek in front of me didnt wanna be part of the scene and moved away. A couple was probably whispering to each other on their future as parents. Some aunties were giggling here and there. As for me, i was looking cool, listening to my MP3 player. Secretly, I had paused the music to listen to the drama.

I realized that wad happened just now, would have happened to me if my father had been less patient. Fortunately enough, he understands that i too need some personal space and a time to be alone and think. God is merciful enough to let me learn my lesson in an embarrassing moment dat did not focus on me.


DEEP IN REFLECTION

1 v 1 DotA

Wahahahah
Won Danny for the second time!!
1 v 1 DotA
6.35b
-arem
Danny = Spiritbreaker
Aziz = Naga Siren


Final Kills
Danny = 2
Aziz = 5
Final Deaths
Danny = 3
Aziz = 2


So the match started. Randomed, got Naga Siren. Nvr really used Naga Siren b4. Only tried her with AI before. So i wasnt dat confident going up against a Spiritbreaker which has 3000 gold to start the game with. I bought BoS, RoR and Yasha. He bought BoS, Sange and a few Flasks.


Firstblood
Both of us had yellow health.
He wanted to finish me.
So he chased me
He ran past one of my towers.
And when he reached the second one,
i smartly netted him
resulting in me dying with a final Greater Bash
worst of all he escaped death.


So confidence was at extreme lows.
It became worse when he killed me another time.
I figured that if i had to win, i wud have to take extreme measures and play smart.


**INSERT MAPHACK HERE**


Now knowing where he is all the time, i confidently farmed.
I had it all under control until the next occasion when we drew our swords.
The usual combo for me, Mirror Image and Ensnare.
then WHACK ARHH!!!!
He really was gonna die when suddenly..

.. he blinked


WAD THE FUCK!! Blink Dagger?!? I hate dat item!
So cheap!


The Devil seemed to speak to me.
Which made me type:
"Danny, Dagger of Escape(blink) is not allowed in a 1 v 1 match"

Danny: Where got? Really meh?
Aziz: I dun mind la. but if u wan to win in honour..

5 mins later
Danny: I sold my dagger liao
Aziz: k.. *LOL*

that was the turning point
killed him 3 times.
and sent him home everytime we faced each other
fortunately for him he reached a HoT and a vitality booster which made him a freaking tank.
Aziz hates tanks.
But tanks werent gonna stop my super gay mirror images with 300 crits.

So i went on to destroy his mid lane creep producing buildings.
Went to get some items
killed him 2 more times.
and ended the game


Final Items
Boots of Travel, Eye of Skadi, Sange And Yasha (i know they dont stack) and Monkey King Bar.
and a Ring of Regeneration


So another win for Aziz.
Once again he proves his doubters wrong.
And its true wad they say


ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR

FA Community Shield

Woo
Any team dat beats Chelsea is a team that i like
Though the community shield match is seen as a worthless match,
it has shown the teams in EPL one thing,
that Chelsea is beatable.
Afterall, a somesort of second team Liverpool
defeated
A full Chelsea team only without regular, Claude Makelele and Joe Cole.


Lets zoom in on the new players of both teams
and how they performed in the recent matches.

Chelsea bought Andriy Shevchenko, probably the best striker in the world, from AC Milan. Michael Ballack, one of the most renowned midfielders in Europe.

Shevchenko did well. I can imagine him scoring that much goals
with the likes of Lampard, Ballack, Cole and Drogba supporting him.
He scored the equalising goal for Chelsea just before half time and was ever so dangerous in the first half. However in the second half, the Liverpool defence did very well to quiten him down. In fact, i hardly ever saw him from half time onwards.

Ballack had to be sub out early in the game due to an injury. Should be a minor one. But thats not the main problem. The thing is, i cant see him and Lampard playing well together. Its not that they have a feud or something, but their style of play is TOO similar. And usually its not good to play 2 players with similar styles of play. Of course, this was also the concern when Chelsea bought Essien. But Essien is settling as a defensive midfielder now and faces no such problems with Lampard.


As for Liverpool, the main new faces are Craig Bellamy, Jermain Pennant and Mark Gonzalez, all of which, good but risky budget buys. (meaning they are cheap, but their performance rating are still question marks)

Bellamy has settled down well. I can see him playing the hybrid forward. One dat scores goals AND creates opportunities for his teammates to score goals. He set up Peter Crouch's winning goal perfectly. Jermaine Pennant was quiet throughout the match. Cant comment much there. But Mark Gonzalez is wad i call a GOOD VALUE BUY. BEWARE: THIS GUY IS FAST
Sooner or later He will earn himself the nickname Mark "Speedy" Gonzalez. Damnit. I think he is faster than Jose Antonio Reyes.


Things dont seem to be going too well in Chelsea. They lose 2 matches in a row. One against MLS All stars and one against Liverpool. But of course, wad matters to Jose Mourinho is the Championship itself.


As for Liverpool, things are going great. They won both Maccabi Haifa and Chelsea 2 - 1. They've won Chelsea in the FA Cup, Champions League, Community Shield,


NOW FOR THE PREMIERSHIP!

tired
and sian

went out to Henderson CC play futsal at around 10am
played with the group of people who always seems to be there
play until nt bad
but in front of goal post cannot score


then 2.30 went skool meet Mr Beh for ROD meeting
all of the proposals excepted
except for one very important one
the Part C Song Performance

since we were playing Helena by My Chemical Romance,
we decided to portray a funeral to symbolize the leaving of Sec 4s
never did we want to insult them anyway
he straightawway rejected it for being insukting and inappropriate

we depended so much on this performance
it wud serve as a BANG to kickstart ROD night
but too bad
"too insulting"

its not as if we are putting a coffin or burning paper
and jumping around celebrating or having a parade
we were going to make a funeral setting
a very sad one
the leaving of someone very important

sad la. 2 more weeks and need to come up with something new
depressing man. now there are 3 options
do a video, come up with another idea for a performance
or just


THROW IT ALL AWAY

GESS NDP

wow.
im actually impressed by this year's National Day Celebrations in GESS.


past 2 years, it has always been a dull day
but this year was lot of fun


for me, it was standing by, watching the Parade,
then receiving the Bronze Service Award,
then watching the following events
which were some modelling and a "Superband" kind of thing


of course there was a fair share of bad singing
but at least 3 performance were decent
i liked 3I's drummer and 3H's performance
but the sec 5 band was in many's eyes, the most versatile one
and eventually, they won.


Uniformed Groups were hyperactive man.
Blossom waves like every 10 minutes
Of course, we the NCC came up with some interesting moves.
the Uniformed Groups were actually the ones making all the noise,
creating the hype.
sang like no mother.
cheer like no father
jump like no...
..no uncle?


BUT


dat is what you see. what you didnt see, was the NCC at the 2.4 track, after the celebrations.
yes, while NPCC, BB, SJAB all were taking pics,
we were there, isolated, with our hands on the ground.


why?


cuz the marching was not up to standard
i take dat back
to be honest, it sucked, really
no offence to the contingent participants.
it also wasnt their fault
i noticed the band's drumbeat wasnt consistent.
trust me, it affects the marching tempo and speed
confusion = errors


the funny thing is
Mr. Beh kept on saying the mistake is due to:


2 platoons(sec 3 and 4)
being to proud of themselves
and thinking that one is better than the other


how do u relate that to marching?
i agree, us sec 3 have had much disputes with the sec4s
but do we hate them soo much that we wan to cock up our marching?
correction
do we hate ourselves so much to disgrace ourselves in the eyes of the skool?


id say no.
its not about the lack of unity between the 2 platoons
id say its luck. it was a naturally bad run of marching



TOTALLY BY NATURE

Geography and Israelis

Ok.

so other than geography.
i know what other things suck

ISRAEL
(please dont sue me)


jaarvis gave me this link of pictures
of Israelis torturing/killing/injuring Arabs
and Arabs suffering


wtf


i shall not reveal the link as it is STRICTLY NOT FOR THE YOUNG AND FAINT HEARTED. STRICTLY


they show pictures such as a hole through a baby's body,
totally roasted human bodies,
the process of a man dying in a crossfire with his child in chronological order,
totally disfigured faces and bodies
bodies squashed by tanks.
yes. body ran over by tanks

freaking tanks.

let me tell you

there,
women, girls, children,

ALL are not spared

meaning if we were living there there is a more than 40% chance of DYING

PLEASE THANK GOD

Im praying, in the coming of National Day,

that SIngapore will always remain the peaceful and politicaly stable nation like how it is today or even better. May no such tragedies, disasters, conflict or even unrest happen in this land that we are borned in.


yes,


I'M PROUD TO BE A SINGAPOREAN

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

and yeah. Great movie. Not recommened for people who havent caught the first one though. Lots of inside jokes. You'll have to know Curse of the Black Pearl very well to understand Dead Man's Chest.


Everything about Jack is funny. The "snip snip" part, "hide the rum" and "oh bugger". There was a joke on Singapore. Will Turner was searching for Jack. He asked this guy and i think he said, "Jack is in Singapore" Something like dat. Also, in the first movie, Jack said something like, "I take it you havent been to Singapore" True enough, the third movie, releasing in 2007, will revolve a little bit on Singapore, with a Chinese villain named Sao Feng. Shud be played by Chow Yun Fatt.



Other than Jack, Barbossa is back too. The villain of the first movie. At the end of Dead Man's Chest, surviving crew of the Black Pearl vows to "sail to the edge of the Earth and beyond" to save Captain Jack Sparrow. But in order to do so, they will need a captain who is "the Devil himself" Captain Barbossa then appears and asks,"So what is left of me ship?" Something like dat.

The resurrection of Barbossa. If you can recall from Curse of the Black Pearl, one guy said, "... a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out" There you have it. Oh and he's monkey is still alive. It's undead.

Legacy of the Azzuri

And so it happened..


Italy the Azzuri, defeated France the Les Blues. By the smallest of all margin. A 1 penalty difference. Somehow, when Trezeguet was taking that penalty, i knew he was gonna miss. And dat miss was what cost the French, the ultimate prize. The World Cup.


For Italy, it was a great performance, defensively. Its such a pleasure to see Italian defenders like Cannavaro, Zambrotta and Gattuso taking on the French with such ease. The French were tight in defense too, with Thuram and Gallas. But when it goes to penalties, everything changes. France, obviously had no chance. They were missing 3 regular penalty takers. Zidane, sent off, and Viera and Henry, substituted out. You could see the Azzuri winning.


And as for Zinedine Zidane, i feel sorry for him. He thought he was going to end off his career with a fairy tale ending. Instead, it ended abruptly with a red card. He didnt even get to receive his silver medal. Many wonder, who Zidane really is. He smiles like an angel, helping his team go so far. Yet he reacts with such unproffesianalism. Maybe he deserved it.


For the man who won himself the Golden Ball Award, i wish him goodluck to his retirement and future life. Though i still think Fabio Cannavaro deserves the award better.

World Cup Heartbreak

I was so close to being correct about the goalless game. But in the second last minute it happened.
Russo(not sure of spelling) scored a somewhat impossible goal. And after that, it seemed like Germany gave up and let Del Piero score a second. I feel like a curse man..

I predicted:

Australia to win Italy. Italy won
Switzerland to win Ukraine. Ukraine won
Netherlands to win Portugal. Portugal won
England to win Portugal. Portugal won
Germany to win Italy. Italy won

But kudos to the Germans for that special opening match. They performed some great football throughout the competition and fans shud be proud. They're not going home anyway, they already are.

And as for tonight, i'm supporting France and i predict a French victory. Shud I?

Sian.. today again kena punishment for all our wrong doings in NCC. Dun wanna elaborate too much la. But maybe the NCOs exaggerated just a lil bit. I except the session just now as a punishment which was reasonable.

Dunnoe shud watch tonite's Germany vs Italy anot. Feel so tired. And i have a feeling it will go down to penalties after a long goalless wait. No matter wad, i'll be rooting for Germany all the way.

AJ NIGHTMARE

woo! Woke up at 11 again. just in time to get a weekly dose of GSD. and...


.. FRANCE DID IT!!!

Brazil beaten 1 -0 by the French.. All thanks to the prowess of Thierry Henry, the vigilance of the defence, a trickery of Franck Ribery and a vintage performance by Zinedine Zidane.


So it looks like the French are up against the Portugese. Both teams, i believe, with their golden generation.


.. The question is

Who's side will
