E Return Of E Orc

Today, Xu Yang'll be back! finalli after going for exchange for one semester,he actualli returns back to Singapore to haunt us. Kenneth n Wei Hong r actualli waiting to pounce on him n interrogate all e nonsense he has done n fooled ard with while we have been slaving for our nation's well being. He confirm chu stunt one. though not as many as kenneth has attacked mentalli, XY has proven to be an orc of honour during our NS lives n in phuket. Yeah!
Hopefulli can persuade him to play dota again. with kenneth, xy playing, things will be so much more fun. then maybe i will realli pia dota n actualli read up on dota like wat nigel does. then can ks them more n run away everytime they engage with opponents...lol juz kidding.

Tooth Trouble=$4k

26 Dec-finalli decided to c e dentist abt e tooth. waited for slightly longer than halfan hr b4 finalli cing e dentist named Dr. Chu. i am supposed to be lucky coz by rite,Dr. Chu is e moz experienced dentist in Lee n Lee Clinic. But i dun realli care so i juz want to get it over. After all ,it is not like in BMTC where u c Dr Fu means u confirm get atten C for next 2 days.
I had an X ray n i got a shock...My tooth has been fractured internalli! NO way to save it. This Dr. Chu knn one lah. he faked sympathy for a v v short while b4 driving straight to e pt where by i have no choice but to spend thousands on getting a fake tooth. I dun even have time to feel sorry for myself lah. But wat to do..he is e boss of this comercial company n he is so busy as there r so many patients out there. Wah sianz.. Bridging will cost $1500 while implantation will cost $4200...ard there lah. all so expensive,juz becoz of playing basketball!!not worth it lah...
Anyway, my parents were v supportive of implantation as they feel tat i am still young. Haiz..i realli realli feel like a burden rite now with this toothy issue. Feel like going for e daily dentures which will onli cost $100. everyday muz take out n wash,but at least i will save money.
I cannot explain how depressed i am over this incident...$4k!!...i literalli feel sick e whole day afterwards after i booked an appointment for e implantation on 8 Jan.
Recently nuthing has been going great for me...Any readers of my blog,i am sorry if subconsciously my blog is making u feel tat i am a negative person n tat life sucks. Juz tat, i guess i am in this losing streak rite now n tat i c things in a more inferior way rite now. If u relate my life to a mahjong movie, i will now be at this stage whereby i juz gambled away all my properties n wife,onli to realise my wife actualli cheated on me n changed my winning tiles for e other man to win. I am now at this stage whereby i cannot come to terms with it n have yet to "zhi mo" a single time. I guess i will juz watch prison break again bah. at least my life is much better than theirs.......
.........
.........
Man! even sucre got a gf to look forward to,t-bag has someone holding his pockets for him....Raymond-y dun u juz go n die...

IHG Bridge

3rd.
this is way below our expectations n a nightmare for me n my teammates. for me,i no longer get my treble. Haiz. One of my bad days
E first day started out easily for us as we cruised into e finals as we had easy opponents. At this point of time, it was rather emotional for me to c my ex Hall get knocked out on e qualifying rounds. I guess i still have some feelings for Hall 9 after all ,esp abt Hall 9 winning e Rec Champions, With Hall 9 getting knocked out so fast n Hall 3 eventualli winning e champions, it means tat Hall 9 is now trailing Hall 3 by more than a little for e overall Rec. Hopefulli they catch up later on. Their chess games r usualli stronger n r Hall 9's forte.
We lost coz of bad moments against Hall 8 n 12. This 2 matches killed our chances of winning as this yr's IHG is a shorter event n every match counts. It was impossible to feel demoralised after Hall 12's defeat.By e time we were playing Hall 6, we were slacking n juz playing for pleasure already.(It's all rite,it's ok! 16 16 fight fight fight!) Heart pain.
To make things more unhappening, e bball team also lost coz our star player Kehan got injured. We realli could not do without him as a point guard is e like e soul of e team. Wah sianz lah.
This is not one of my best days.

e 13 wonders(Joseph Tan Kian Ming)

On e 21 Dec, this joseph realli stunted us by successfully constructing e 13 wonders in mahjong tat day. I mean,how possible is it tat e 13 wonders is actualli made. I hence decided to count e number of times i have seen e 13 wonders actualli been made. Or is it my level which such things r possible? e other day, i saw a Da Shi Xi been made too at my neighbour's room(Joseph n Chiangfeng's room). Both incidents, e person actualli "zhi mo" e winning tiles. It is a good thing we play a limit at 5 tai, or else i may have to sell my computer by now.

Ok,to date:
13 Wonders:1 time
Da Shi Xi: 1 time

Hopefulli i will be able to update the count with my name on it this time.

Ouch!

Man, feeling very easily agitated n irritated nowadays coz my tooth is swollen. everytime i talk a bit or eat hard food, it is real painful.OUCHHH! is a bit like pms where u get irritated for e discomfort u r in n yet e pple ard u seems ignorant of it. I better watch myself this few days n isolate myself more from pple in case i get hot tempered for no reason. i am already starting to feel myself losing it liao..
got e swollen tooth from a heavy impact while playing bball... was grabbing a rebound when my mouth collide with another person's elbow. Guess we were a bit high then coz we juz won a match n had a chance to qualify. juz to let u guys noe how heave e impact was, after e collision, it was e other person hu went down juz by colliding with my mouth. e pple ard also tot he was e one feeling e pain as he was e one on e ground. lol..ouch!! ok better stop laughing or else will get more pain.
anyway today i slack e whole day. played mahjong for a round b4 going to bridge club to kpo e ntu closed pairs. watching them reminds me of my freshie years, where every board is an adventure n every trick and contract which r meant to be mine was so happily taken with unnecessary pride,onli to be dampened much later tat everyone else bidded n make as well,or even with overtricks easily. e hall players cr8ed quite a surprise by actualli winning 2 out of e top 3 positions. needless to say,mingdan n charles trashed every1 tat nite, despite their first time playing together. 1 thing i find funny was lily calling one of e winners n said to them:"hi,i am ....., u two ACTUALLI got 3rd." i duno how e recipents actualli feel,but i remembered in my freshie yrs, when my teammates called a rather unrespectable 7d which is ard 16% chance of making,i was extremely delighted to ACTUALLY win a team which was undefeated throughout. tat happened in e finals n we got gold for tat. lol
Ouch!!! my tooth hurts again. it better recovers fast or else i will waste money cing e dentist

Salsa chalet

after e disappointment of youth teams, perhaps i thought too much e nite staring at e sky in my hall walkway such tat i forgot tat e next day i had a chalet. Slept v little n naturalli woke up late. i was supposed to meet e group at 8am n yet i woke up at 830am. Rushed down there n wasted 23 bucks juz like tat. We spend e day playing games round Clarke Quay, Bugis n Tanjong Pagar. we were supposed to walk all e way but guess we took mrt from bugis to tanjong pagar. we even took a video as we caught ourselves red handed slacking at a cafe instd of walking. concluded i am not so adult after all as i actualli enjoyed such thrill..
Later we went to a studio n learned some salsa moves. we revised our steps n learned 2 new moves. After tat, we guys got e priviledge os slacking while watching e gals in a styling class. I guess for me at a social level, i prefer to juz learn e basics n thing of my own styling which express my lifestyle more.
Tat nite we went to to a salsa club. But guess we did not realli dance(e beginners) as our knowledge of salsa moves were rather er...restricted n classified. I realised how much we actualli need to learn in order to blend in a salsa club.
E next morning is something i will remember for some time n will look for more opportunities to so similiar stuffs. We learned some non salsa moves at e seaside. I think it was a blessing in disguise e radio could not work as e sounds of e sea waves was actualli blended with my mood more. At tat pt of time, i was so absorbed by e sea side,i have totalli forgotten any negative emotions i have felt recently... Bridge did not do so well? well there is alwas another time. I feel so blessed then, thinking of my home sweet home juz beside Pasir Ris park, my times with my family hu pampered me too much, e brotherly love i share with richard, my dogs...
This is how any great event should end..

Youth teams

We cannot alwas get wat we want juz by desire alone. After so much high hopes we onli got fourth,doing horrendously on e final day. Man,it realli suxs. Guess it would not be moralli ethical n sporting to blame it on any one in e team as all of us did make mistakes throughout e whole competition. it juz happened tat some of us make critical mistakes in more crucial moements.
we entered into e finals easily. i almoz did a very beautiful 4H doubled endplay in trumps with my opponents having 5 of my trumps. But my spot cards were not good enuff n had to rely on a defensive error to make it. Y am i bringing this deal when there r so many deals? i guess coz i noe my own std n noe i have dropped a lot from my previous form. Getting to e finals even was mainly due to e lower std of playing field. I think tat board represented very clearly how e first 2 days went-relying on opp's mistakes rather than brilliance n constructive defensive imagination. On my side,my team also had little luck juz like in tat board with a 5-0 break. But i do admit i was still v happy making tat contract.(act cool for a little while b4 continueing this blog).
3rd day was e finals with onli 4 teams in it. i was mentalli prepared for tat day n sharpen my self with sufficient sleep n warming up in my mind. But some things r probably fated. It does not look good tat our opponents managed to bid a anti percentage grand slam n make it on our v first board. But credit to Yonghao who was not discouraged by it n continued playing normalli. One thing i muz express out is tat i am very proud to play with yonghao. I think style n pose realli defines a bridge lifestyle n he is totalli cool in bridge. Whether we get a good or bad board, we will alwas act like it is juz another game n continue with e next board. Discussions will onli be carried out after e game.
But sadly still, we found our team losing badly by 40+ imps due to a few undesirable happenings at e other side plus a underbidding by me. Haiz. i still remmebering refuse to give up n yet with every board nuthing could be done. E 2nd half was too hard for us to fight back. But i muz admit i was totalli enjoying myself desperately trying to cr8 swings by bidding overly aggressively. Is something rare which i hardly find myself in such a position. Perhaps should play 24 board knocked out more often. then got excuse to bid like a beast n psyche like a riot.
end of day a song describes how we played at e 2nd half:"i tried so hard,n got so far...but in e end it doesn't even matter."

Disappointing, disappointment n disappoint.

IHG blues

Our 1st rugby traning of holiday was supposed to be on 7th dec. But on tat day, a few of us fly e aeroplane on e team tat day. This,plus e fact tat we are alreadi so short of pple. We had no choice but to call it off. I feel real sorry n bad for e pple hu actualli came all e way to NTU juz for traning onli to be let down by irresponsible actions.
Perhaps it was destined tat my holiday is to be less IHg orientated,which may be a good thing actualli. After 7Dec incident,i wrote an email to them n onli a few responded. Guess i iwll go easy on rugby since e attitude is generalli more slow n steady. Bridge wise, me n my bridge cult may not be playing too due to some silly political situation. It's either some hall leaders actualli think tat their halls activities r a level higher than sch representation level from e way they behaved n do things so inconsiderately or that this year's rec comm r extremely tactless n ignorant to the point of a lower level of intelligence than humane. Anyway i believe they will come to their senses. Some pple juz need more time, tat's all.
More time for movies n chilling out i guess.

Golden Harvest

Didn't do well n onli got 3rd in consolations. so effectively we were ranked e 7th best team. But rather expected lah,since i guess we were all still in tat exam mood. Our handicap pts did not help much either. we had graduates n seniors getting more handicap pts than us. Chiang feng9 as usual he is e most direct person in my team) words to our opponents sum it all-"wo men chong ni men xue da pai,hai xu yao gay nu men fen,NU MEN HAO YI SHI MAH!" such incidents realli brighten up my day.

Holidays preview

A very short holiday n considering e time i am even writing now, somehow e title does noe suit e timing. It is onli a month for holidays n with too much things to do. Bridge,IHG,external projects...How do i actualli balance all n yet sleep much at e same time/.
For bridge, i hoped to do well for e youth teams. This time, Yang yang n Deshun will be joining us after leaving e bridge club for time due to some destructive n immature management of e club 2 yrs back. Our batch has finalli unite for this events n it would be dramatic to win something. Golden harvest,we do not have much hope coz of e timing of e competition which is immediately after e exams. But youth teams is something we should try to do well. No excuse.
IHg 's something quite funny. I entered Hall 16 with e intention to slackn juz settle down n sleep more often. I guess i have fulfilled e latter with flying colours. But somehow,i find myself joining 3 IHg games n actualli going down for a huge % of hall events. Not that i went down for a lot of hall events,but Hall 16 apparantly has so few hall activities that %wise, i can "proudly" proclaim myself Hall 16er. E way hall 16 runs, e logo should be an air conditioner with e word hall 16 as a roof. That will be more appropriate.
external projects- man...All i can say is work hard play hard. I have been neglecting this for a day too long. muz start work on it after my bridge competitions.

Hi guys

This blog is something i decided to try out recently. Hopefull things won't be too much of a mess coz i am not realli into blogging actualli. But nonetheless, i think it is more of worthy a pasttime than juz sleeping.playing computer games and starin at gurls. Erm,i guess onli sleeping n computer games.
What u can expect from my blog
My blog will be v factual and no lies or half truths will be written out. This blog's after all my story n i would not want to "cheapen" my life by trying to change e story juz to make myself appear cool or totalli awesome. One thing i was disgusted abt other blogs are tat some tend to write from their biased pt of view n subconsciously attempt to influence e readers in a negative way.
Another thing which i find awkward abt blogging is e sensitive issues which u can't write abt. Imagine u r reading a blog n he has been expressing readily all this while abt his life. Then when something sensitive hapen,e blogger will disappear for a moment. Then after some time, when things have cool down,blogger appears again n explains his absence due to some busy schedules or computer crashes.. Therefore,my blog will be more abt e events i go through n e life lessons i learn.
May e readers of my blog enjoy reading as much as i will enjoy writing.
