Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah!

1 month? Thats how long I didn't blog...thats how lazy I am these days. Exams is 2 weeks away and for some reason, I just fell like blogging now....this blog is about something that happened quite some time ago so...thats how it got its tittle...

CHRIS! Remember that you kept calling me 'Yokohama' for no reason at all...well here it is..YOKOHAMA! The port city of Japan...popular for its...its....I don't know? This ferris wheel?

2006 Yonex Badminton Championship

21 years, thats how long it took for me watch a sporting event 'LIVE' with my own naked eyes....
I could consider myself fortunate to be able to watch this event there and then cos it would take another millenium or so before Japan will host this event again....Its held in Tokyo so its kinda far from my place, but with the semangat of Malaysia Boleh, "die-die also must go"!

Fortunately, the tickets are sponsored by the embassy so it kinda relieved my wallet after taking in all the expensses that needed to survive in Tokyo for 5 days....


Here are some pics of the players whose photo I managed to take. Since falsh isn't allowed, most of them appeared blur...just look at how semangat Tan Fook was after winning in the mens double against Denmark!


This guy really underperformed during the semis. He seem to be reacting to every move the Danes are doing while failing to do anything to set his tempo back...I remembered 1 fella shouting by the stands "Hafiz, tolonglah, tolonglah.. tiket dah la mahal, tolonglah main betul sikit!" Thats how bad he played after a great performance versus the Koreans!


Those of us there during the Korean match(sitting in the front row) would have, by now, noticed something...that is never call a popular person by his real name(In this case, Tan Fook) My seniors spend a few minutes shouthing this name and he didn't even take notice. Then, out of no where, 1 of them shouted "Ah Fook!", and he immediately turned his head towards where the call came from...well, this is how I managed to take this 'Prized' photo of mine! He is actually posting for my camera after I yelled(more like squezing every single muscle to produce some frequency) "Ah Fook, mong kor lei, oi yeng jiong siong"(Ah Fook, look over here, I wanna take a pic! in Canto)...hell was I delighted to have him pose for a pic!


Besides the Japanese audience, the entire stadium was practically dominated by us making noise, the 'E-slap wave'(you PFS guys know what I mean, right Wan Yean?), cheering for every single reason there is to cheer....During the quaters, there was this lonely, pityful looking Jap sitting beside me watching the Uber Cup in the Malaysian side of the stand....well, I don't know how he ended up here, but I do know where did that 'pityful' looking face came from. I bet he can't concentrate on the Jap girls playing with all the commotion happening in the Malaysian side.


Well, not all Jap seems to bee rooting for their own country though, this primary kids find more fun doing waves n cheering "Malaysia Boleh"(I asked them, and they said they don't know what it meant but its fun so they joined in!) for our home team.


I was actually contemplating wheather to place this pic of Danes winning the day. It was a lousy day for a few of the players, but I think the Malaysian players did their best although Hafiz was a real disappointment, and Choon Han have to injure his ankle ....well, there goes the only chance Malaysia has for winning the cup in another few more years to come. Lets hope that the doubles team could maintain their great performance, and China to 'bagi chance' a little...whats a game if u always win? Like Micheal Schumacher winning all the grand prix and the FIA have to change the rules to make you lose...

MALAYSIA BOLEH!

Just got my internet up and working 30 minutes ago. I'm a little sick now, down with sore throat and with insuficient sleep after a long bus ride back from Tokyo. To those folks who have watched Thomas Cup and you think you saw a 'round' fella cheering for the Malaysian Squad, well, guess no more! I was there on the 1st row alright! Got a few more stuffs to write, but not now& not today, just wanna sleep and prepare to go back to school after 1 week of Golden Holiday. Sleeping now...bye

HAPPY B'DAY!

Happy Birthday To Me,
Happy Birthday To Me,
Happy Birthday To Meee...
Happy Birthday To Me!

I'm 21 dee! OMG! Living a life as a 'young man'...can't go to playgrounds without being stared,can't play Pokemon cards without the whole neighbourhood knowing about it, and having no GF when you are this age is definately gonna freak my mum out! HAPPY B'DAY ME!

WoW!

I can't imagine this! 2 months since the last time I blogged. I didn't wanna blog in M'sia cos every second counts. And even though I am back in Japan for quite sometime, I just lost that need to write anymore. Just don't have that mood to type anything. I rather just sit down & do nothing staring at an empty desktop screen than to type.....

Anyway, how does my new blog skin look? I think that the old skin was a little too dark after sometime, so decided to 'lighten' it up abit. The template & layout didn't change much though, don't really wanna spend too much time doing this cos i just prefer to stare at a blank screen for no reason...my brain is going crazy dee!

Ok, a little intro about my life as the 4th year student in Nara National College Of Technology. I'm now staying on the 2nd floor of my hostel, which segregates me from the rest of the foreign students! Felt a little wierd in the beginning, cos I have to control my speakers from going full blast and I can't go next door for a chat or 2 with Fook Hee or Shi Han anymore.....well, thats actually the only difference lol! Cos now, instead, I got a few 5th year Japs coming to my room for a chat! We even drank beer together last friday!

School, however, is VERY different! Most of my engineering subs are like twice as more, more reports coming, class until 4.15pm everyday(why isn't there any sembahyang Jumaat here? I really miss that lol!) and another scary fact: THE MOST SOB TEACHER IS NOW TEACHING ME FOR 4 HOUS A WEEK!!! I don't know what the hell is he teaching, and the best fact of all, he craps for 3 3/4 hours before he even starts the teaching! I'm just praying that I can get some sort of help with this sub before I fail!

Classmates here are now treating me almost as an equal dee...no longer that 'stranger from Mars', I can kacau anyone I like anytime I like! My classmates are more like my form 4 friends in PFS, having a unique diversity of gangs, but each gang suprisingly goes very well with 1 another. I was wrong the last time about the 'ah beng' and 'nerd' clans being 2 worlds apart! That was just my 1st impression. Also, with my Jap language getting better, joking & understanding them is much simpler....no more "Har? Can you repeat that again plz..."(What a lame way to destroy a good joke!)

I'm crapping alot in this blog cos I'm free now....getting bored of my online game dee....tired of talking to other players in Turkish(I've learnt a few words dee.."Aga" is "Hi" in Turkish) Tired of meeting with a bunch of kids playing this game asking me(in Turkish) to give them this item, that armor, donate a few million coins...NoNoNo!! Which part of my rouge character writes that word "Generous Donator Here! Come and get free items" As for the rest, I'm just bored dee....so, I told myself to start studying harder so as to qualify for a scholarship to a Uni in Japan, socialize more(Lonely lol!), and don't spend so much money!(I fell that its my responsibility to start supporting my family after my dad's retirement).

My nearest aim now is how to celebrate my b'day...24TH APRIL OK!! REMEMBER THIS U PPL! Write it down! What should I do? Go shopping and buy something expensive like last year?(Can't, will break rule:Don't spend so much money), or just stay at my hostel eating cakes? Maybe I wanna try making myself my own cake, heard from a not so new found friend of mine from S'pore that Gary is a master chef and makes good cakes....wanna try out also la!

Ok, its 9.48pm now, should be doing some exercise now, but tomorrow got 1500m run, need all the energy for it...last record 6minutes 19 secs. I'm GONNA BEAT IT! Wish me luck!
