i finally washed my car which was last bathed 3 wks ago... to me it's very dirty.. to some, it didnt look obviously dirty. but wat the heck, rain or not, it got washed.. n im glad i did, coz after dat, it stopped raining. at least my gloriously cleaned car will be able to show its shine for the next few hours before the downpour starts again.
i'll be meeting my camp trailblazer friends for dinner after i break my fast at home. it'll be my first time breaking fast outside wif friends. the last time i didnt break fast at home was due to the soccer match last monday. btw, we won 5-2, after conceeding twice from 0-1 and 1-2 in the first half. i was slightly disappointed wif myself for not scoring in at least 2 chances... coz as usual, i didnt have the confidence to crack a shot, n opted to beat the keeper, but ended up tackled by defenders. i took 1 or 2 shots but flew just inches over the bar..
BUT i became a "hero", dats wat my maths tutor called me in class, for making 2 beautiful crosses from the left which led to 2 goals made. i was pleasantly surprised at myself for achieving dat, coz dats wat i've alwiz dreamt of making such crosses just like Ryan Giggs of Christiano Ronaldo do for Man Utd. btw, i wish them all the best in tonight's clash wif Arsenal.. n may they bring glory to Old Trafford once more!!
im looking forward to playing for the finals next monday, 1st Nov. it'd be nice to be able to play full time, just like the last winning match. but i'd be happy to be substituted or be a substitute for the game, as long as i can deliver my crosses or beat defenders or even get my name in the scoresheet for the first time!

thanks to those who're concerned over my previous blog entry. Alhamdulillah, i'll be feeling better. the finale happened a few days ago. i've not been giving it much thought, but i know it'll crawl out n haunt me soon after, at which it did since last night.. so i know i have to pour it out here, to talk my thoughts out, n face the harsh reality.
im more composed now. i berdoa dan bertawakkal pada Allah. whatever happens in future, i'll let Him show me the way. at this moment, i'll just live my life a day at a time.
oso thanx for all the kind n encouraging words. really appreciate them. watever happens, its made my life more meaningful n let me become more experienced in facing the challenges in life...

felt soo refreshed dis morning, alhamdulillah. must have been the long hours of sleep i had last night. fell asleep near 9 plus... didnt wake up till about 5am just now. so u can imagine how long ive been sleeping ah. to top it off, i took a short nap in the morning n afternoon yesterday! :)
since ive not been doing anything lately, i think i should embark on at least trying to get my CPA cover page almost complete. in this way, i'd be able to concentrate on my CPA content report latest tomorrow morning.
to all, selamat menjalani ibadah puasa... 3 down, 27 to go! ahaks!... mcm budak kecik aku nie!

its just the second day of Ramadhan, n i feel physically drained out today. i dont think its the early wake up to have the sahur dats making me tired, i think its more like my accumulation of lethargy for the past week... couldnt open my eyes by late morning today, so after kopek bawang for my mom, i took a quick nap... wat a feeling to be on the bed! ahaks! but i had to wake up by 1 to fetch my dad home. since then ive been awake, but i think i'll be up n about now, just finished making sambal kicap for the family :)
got my car engine lightened pulley installed. i felt the slight difference in the car's performance. more like the car can pick up slightly faster now. but when i pushed the accelerator hard, there seem to be a roaring sound coming from the pulley area. being a sensitive person, i could even hear it from the driver's seat when the windows are up! hmm, but so far there's no other effects due to the new pulley ah. suspect mebe the belting not adjusted properly, but sure sound like saidi's engine when the pulley makes the noise! ahaks! will check wif Ati next wk ah since he'll be at McWell Toh Guan for the week...
btw, mom's ok now alhamdulillah. dad's asleep, can see he's very very tired after about 1 mth of working without rest. mom's sleepy too, she'll be sleeping soon i guess. as for me, i'll be awake to install my corel draw so dat i can do my assignment wif it, n, will squeeze time to let my adrenaline rush to my head wif Need For Speed Underground!!!!
time to speed in my "souped up turbocharged, NOS activated, lowered suspension, performace tuned Civic"!! ahaks!!

Assignments are due by next week... most of them except my maths lesson plan, which i intend to start somewhere end this week. now concentrating on my LEARNT assignment first.. and to create some slides for my CPA presentation next week. im tasked to find out ways of taking care of PC, and i guess i'll be doing it tonight coz i'll need to take pics to demonstrate the taking care part. imagine having to squeeze taking care of monitor, disc/floppy drives, mouse and keyboards in just 3 to 4 slides! InsyaAllah can one ah! :)
dunno if my mom's getting better. she asked me to buy her dis tablet thingy called Bismac. i tot she was joking, coz i never come across something like dat. when i asked the Singseh shop, they even come in 2 sizes! the 75 tablets or the 165 tablets! ahaks! n u have to take 2 to 4 tablets at one go after meals, and to repeat the procedure every 15 mins still not ok. n guess wat, if u were to pound the tablets into powders, u can make a bread! coz its made up of sodium bicarbonate, magnesium carbonate and zinc carbonate i think... enuff to rise the dough!! heeheehee
will see tonight if she's ok. logically speaking, she should since the tajwid exams are over! but, the paper was quite a killer for section C... well, have to see ah when class resumes to find out result...
gotta resume work... before the battle for position to play in soccer later begins!! :P

i hope so. im sure a friend of mine is.. dats good. im happy dat my other friends pc is up n running too... n im happy dat my pay is coming so dat i can start changing my crankshaft pulley to a lightened one so dat my acceleration can be improved... hmm... new rims n tyres in the year end? pending budget!! but sure makes me happy thinking over it!
at the same time, i wish all the best in my friend's exams starting tomorrow, wed n fri. insyaAllah u'll be able to make it. trust me... if u pass, i treat u swensons set! :)

to dat friend of mine,
u'll still be loved, n remembered, no matter wat happens. im still there for u to go out for a meal, to discuss ideas in line wif our profession, n im just a phone call away.
hope u remember Helmo dis way..

its oredi wed.. the midweek. at least the weekend is nearing. but dat's not the point.. assignment datelines are approaching swiftly, n im still lagging behind! heheheh it just feels sooo lazy to start doing the work.. so now i realise how true my ex colleague used to say, "u'll slack while ure there, dont try to be too hardworking!" ahaks!!!
have not been running.. once u stop the routine, it feels like a mounting task to even decide when to do the running. hopefully i can try do it tomorrow morning. no excuses since i'd start my lesson at 8.30, may as well wake up early to run. yesterday nite i didnt even have time to change my clothes... i ended up sleeping wif my day clothes, and didnt set the air con timer.. so i ended up waking up cold!! hehehe n my room is still in a great mess.
mom's not feeling well.. guess she went on a no-rice diet last monday after her blood test revealed her sugar level was high. as a result, she had gastric flu, sent her to clinic, had her vomitting jab.. but still she couldnt eat anything last night.. told her to give me a call or msg if she needs anything though... for once im concerned for her... cant carrying on hating her all my life, right?
gotta leave school first. fetching my friend who's sending his car to Cycle N Carriage Pandan Gardens. someone banged his car dis morning n ran away. now he has to get his left front passenger door repaired.. left mirror broken too! sigh... its been a month of accidents.. may Allah protect us and our precious belonging..

Alhamdulillah.. we won the game 4-1! there wasnt enuff staff to play initially, but eventually we have 1 extra... which was soo much crutial because one staff had a hamstring pull just minutes into the game, and this guy, big n burly, without even a pair of soccer boots, came in to take over. i underestimated him.... it turned out he was a very good player after all!!! lots of tackles n clearance was done by him.. the ball seemed to go towards him ah...! hehe imagine him playing with a proper pair of soccer boots.. sure power nye!! according to others, he usually play soccer wif his kids.. hmm, interesting ah! :)
i was a substitute as usual.. hehehe, there was another player on the bench wif me, n i was aware only either of us would play. he started blabbering like saying n emphasizing either of us would come in, n he said he really wanted to play, but he'd rather let me in. he kept pushing me to say i'd go in. but i gave a simple but short, precise reply. i said "i leave it to the captain, if he chooses u, then u go in. if he chooses me, then i'd play willingly, but i wont say i'd go in"! ahaks! sour grapes ah he is, i think.
i just got the feeling i might not play, but i was not feeling disappointed, coz if Allah decides i play, i will. if not, then redha ah. well, it was fated dat my own maths tutor who was on the field called my name.. so here i go ah. i asked him which position id be slotted it! was surprised to be asked to pair up wif another striker who is of S-League material, he plays for an S-League club! so imagine ah how i felt! hehehe but he's a nice humble guy.. n being a non striker i was, i dared not try shots even though we were oredi leading 3-1. there was a chance i almost tot of shooting, but i saw the s league guy near me, so i tot he might get a better chance of scoring. but it didnt turn out a goal ah.. no matter, i was still very very happy wif my performance. i got to turn around defenders, run past them, received long balls, and dribble... it was ecstacy for me!
so i know ive made my presence felt, i know ive let them see my runs... the next thing for me to do now is to improve my staminas before the next match, and hope to be selected again! i was only playing for about 20 mins n i was panting... so i know how much i have to push myself now ah...
sigh, another boring day at home.. going to catch a nap before i fetch my dad home. tired from soccer n jb trip early dis morning.. the usual errands for my mom ah.. but at least i get to top up V-Power at RM$23.70!! ahaks!
btw car oso needs washing.. my darling is soo dirty now...!

last week, i was part of the NIE team dat lost to Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) team on our debut match for the tournament. i only got to play the last 5 mins of the game... by then the score was already 1-4. so i believe dat if i were to be given the chance to play from the first second, i would give my best for the team, n see if i can contribute significantly to the team. Prof Tay would definitely play the left back position, so im hoping to be able to get the left midfield role... dat's been my fav spot in street soccer. but dis time, it'll be different, as the field is far bigger in size than court, therefore frequent sprints will definitely not be in my favour. i'd try to learn to manage my runs n see how it will affect my stamina. ive been doing regular runs at home on certain early mornings, and was impressed to see dat i could run non-stop for about 2.4km in about 13 mins. it may look like im taking a long time to complete such a distance, but at my age and my physical condition, i think its an achievement dat will gradually improve wif time.
cant wait to play soccer. the game has always been a venue for me to channel my angst n frustration and unreleased energy to good use. i dont possess impressive skills like dat of ronaldo or giggs, but i have the pace to beat opponents provided i time my runs properly. may Allah help me perform well this evening...
