We r nt alone.

This is prob the best documentary I have ever watched. Shocking evidences n super inspiring. So many gd men n women, finally breaking their silence. Together, they call out to their govt, nt to lie anymore...
(Below is a small portion of the clip I have uploaded on youtube.)


Govt must nv lie to ppl...

I was freaked out, I thought I could only hear such speeches in movies. Damn cool.

I definitely believe in life beyond our planet. If u study astronomy, it is almost impossible to believe tt we r the only life form in this universe of unparallel size. It just can't be tt lonely for our puny human civilisation to be the only 1 tt exist. While looking thru some UFOs thingy, I was amazed by the amount of govt conspiracies n politics involved. It may be just a gm but 1 day, the ppl will know the truth.

N to those ppl who know nut abt technology, advances like time travel n anti gravity r just a matter of time. It is nt even a qn of possibility. How long it takes b4 we will uncover these secrets in our universe? 100 yrs? 1000 yrs? Or even 10000 yrs? Rem, compared to the 14 billions yrs old of our universe, these r just a short time. Yup, other civilisations out there might be 10000 yrs old already? We r just 2000 yrs old. Just imagine how much they can advance during this time. Scarely indeed...


The above pic is our galaxy, the milky way galaxy. Light yr is the dist tt light travels in 1 yr. Speed of light: 1,079,252,848.8 km/h. A star is like our sun, wth planets orbiting it. There r 100 billions - 1 trillion stars in our galaxy. N there r at least 100 billions such galaxies in the observable universe, separated by millions of light yrs.

There r as many stars in the observable universe as there are grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth. Each stars may have planets tt hold life like our own v earth. So, the possibility of us being alone in the universe is even way lower than striking toto. Just think abt it. It is a matter of time b4 we encounter em, I hope when tt day comes, I will still be breathing...

Fact: If u travel at the speed of light in outer space, 3 mths of travel will corrspond to 17.4 yrs on Earth. U will onli age 3 mths but come back to the Earth tt is 17.4 yrs ltr!

Random Pics

I realise I have nt placed any random pics for a long time. Here it goes...

Though my frenzs say she isn't chio at all, but I think she is lor, at least my ideal type of girl. Shug, must have diff taste mah otherwise all go for the same girl, gd gm.

Heat Exhaustion

It is 12.08am midnight now. Just returned frm running. Now tt I am jobless again, it is the best time to start training up n lose some stupid weight. Just hope tt my knees will endure thru this wth me. I ran abt 5 km n can't believe I am so shag alreadi, feel so useless. Fitness down by at least 50%, no joke.

While running, I recalled an incident 1 yr ago tt worth blogging. I wouldn't say it was a close shave wth death, but I fainted for real. A week w/o enuff slp everyday, an empty stomach, lack of water n a garang fool . Tt all it took to trigger the 2nd heat exhaustion in me. Yup, it may sound weird, but I collapsed while playing soccer at our much beloved homeground at kolam ayer cc.

If u think a cramp sux, wat abt cramps on ur thighs, calves, face, abdomen all at the same time? Tt really put me thru hell. I was bitting n struggling madly n losing conscious fast. It seems like no one can help me... My eyes closed, I just wanna slp. My friends were all shouting n yelling at me, their voices dubbed wth fear n anxiety. It pulled me back a bit, as I struggled nt to fall into the hollow emptiness.

The nxt thing, I was in the ambulance. I actually cried a bit as I thought I could no longer play soccer again. I can't feel my body, I thought I was handicapped. My 2nd hell cramps happened at the hospital. Many by-stander patients n my poor parents saw the mad struggle. My face totally twisted, my hands like claws swinging wildly n my whole body was twitching all over the place. It took quite a few nurses to suppress me b4 they tied me up. Think it created quite a shocking scene.

I was poked wth how many injection, I lost count. Fortunately, I am used to tt. It was the most terrible night for me. I was still drenched in my sweat when I finally gt over it . Though it took me quite a while to regain full control of my body. The cramps were still lingering in the background, waiting to explode again. A bit nt careful, tt it.

It was indeed a v bad experience. Particular thanks to those frenzs there who helped me so much. The name purple heart was also born frm it, lolx. I learnt another lesson the hard way. So I always remind my frenzs to drink enuff water. The nxt time this happen again, I doubt I will make it thru seriously. Shug.

Weirdest Holiday

This is the weirdest holiday for me.

1. There is no feeling of holiday at all. Prob coz I have to work like a dog to earn enuff $$$ so I can go holiday!
2. Time passes so slowly. I kept feeling tt sch gonna restarts soon, but actually I am nt even 1 mth into the holiday.
3. I felt like I am working full time now. Can't imagine going back to school.
4. Everyone is so busy, so hard to meet up. Even our standard weekly soccer is no more.
5. I felt extremely lost.

Nwae, I am working for the Cpf board to handle manual sign up forms for gst offset credit at toa payoh south cc. The nature of the work is so boring coz the work we did in 1 day can be easily done within 30 mins, honestly. So most of the time, we just stone n slack. The 1st wk was pretty terrible. Save for some exciting badminton gms by a grp of old uncles. I really admire their passion n their professionalism though for leisure. To make things worse, me n my colleagues, 3 or em were all sick, n we didn't bring any entertaintment. Every second is a pain n torture, doing nthing.

The 2nd wk which is this wk, I brought uno, chess n reverse n things gt a lot better. So we play gms whole day. N seriously, customers were like below 20 n 1 person can settle em within 10 mins? Nt to mention 3 of us on the job. Things improve a lot wth all the gms n actually, i didn't mind working. At least, it is quite fun playing gms wth my colleagues, esp bluff was in the in thing lolz.

But sad to say, tmr will be the last day. Aft tt, I will move on to another job. Jie Sheng introdueced me tt n I really hope we can work together. As to all stories, things have to end when it turns gd. Definitely, I will miss my colleagues n hope we can keep in contact. N I learnt smthing, I have to cut my hair! Haha... Now, I will look forward to my nxt jobs n new colleagues. Hopefully, it will be fun.

I bet I look damn professional

But wait, look at those uno, donkey, reverse gms on the table. Lolx

My 2 colleagues n me.

She is the main source of entertaintment. Lolz, quite fun to be wth. Really hope nus will accept u.

This picture tells me 2 things. 1: I need a hair cut! 2: She always like to do tt face, dunno y.

Top of the World

Being at the top of the world, in whatever you do, be it career, wealth, fame, relationship n so on, is the dream of many ppl. Our entire life fighting n working so hard for it. That peak of success, most will nv even come close, but for those few who did, what will the feeling be like? Have you ever ponder over this b4? Honestly, for me, it was only today that this chain of thoughts struck me. N it was frm a simple n uneventful thing like playing gm.

I like to play gms that build up frm virtually nothing, go through lotsa problems n difficulties, to become the ultimate undisputable winner. For the last few days, I was playing this game 'Sid Meier's Pirates', starting as a nobody, n working to be rich n powerful by almost earning penny 1 at a time. It was a rather frustrating process, but when i finally hit that peak, I dun feel like continuing anymore. Simply no point? Or satisfaction has reached saturation, no more thrill? This happens times n again, when I played other gms like FM (Football Manager).

It suddenly occurs on me if life is the same concept. Where sportsmen retire at their peak. Where businessmen pass on the baton upon obscene figures. Where singers n actors 'disappear' aft hittting the highest stage. There r many frictional stories on ppl who become so gd in wat they do (World num 1) - couldn't find anymore challenges or challengers, thus living a lonely n regretful life frm then on. How true can this be? I always feel it is bullshyt but tt surge of feeling in me when I reached tt level in my gms was for real. It was over-whelming. I cant't help it but quit.

I have no personnal opinion on this, what I have said was simply my exp which I felt might be similar to life. If a team is to win every gm 1 day, where would the fighting spirit n unity come frm? If the world is to become a perfect place 1 day, were there still any heart-touching moments of humanity? I realised that our entire life working for tt smthing, tt smthing isn't tt impt actually. The most important n meaningful thing is the process. As Beckham once said, "u will go thru tough times, it abt coming thru em."

Season End

To those friends n members of kacc out there, our team was knocked out at the round of 16 today. In the tournament organized by the Indian Cultural Society. The opponent we faced was quite strong, coupled by the many mistakes we made, the result was a fair reflection. It was a sad way to end the season but still, I felt rather proud of ourselves. Looking back, we have indeed came a long way, learning n maturing as players for the ‘big thing’. It is our first season, we won the 1st tournament n coming so close in others. The defeat today tells us that there r still many things to work on. I really look forward to the nxt season n I am sure we will do better.

Classic

I like Stephen Chow a lot. Though some of his movies r pretty lame n senseless, I still like most of em. Surprised tt ppl lile Stephanie Sun r also his fans. The most classic one is 'A Chinese Odyssey' (西遊記) which I have watched a num of times on TV since young. Just downloaded it again n watched, lol. Still think it is his best movie wth my favourite actress like Karen Mok (莫文蔚), Athena Chu (朱菌), Lam Kit Ying (藍潔瑛) all in 1, power. It is quite funny as usual but in the end, v touching, sad n romantic. Up to now, I still felt v affected aft watching it coz the 2 lovers love each other so much but can't be together. It rather painful.

2 other movies I like a lot r 'Duke of Mount Deer' (鹿鼎记) n Kung Fu Hustle. I cut 2 parts frm 西遊記 n post em on youtube - 1 lame but fun, the other pretty touching. Enjoy!

A soccer lesson today



Today we took part in yet another tournament organised by the Roteract Club for charity. This is our 4th tournaments so far. They organise once every sem n this is probably the toughest nut to crack. Today was really a memorable day n definitely left the biggest impact in me.

We sent in 2 teams kacc n nsl like the last time. N I was quite surprised to be drafted into kacc as the keeper. I felt I have still a lot to learn n when I knew abt it, I really felt the pressure coz I dun want to let the team down. We were in the same grp as Arvinder Singh the rat n my worst fear came true. He scored against me but thnz god, he was also the one tt made a mistake ltr, causing em a goal. Luckily, we went thru 1-1.

Every gm we fought damn hard, the opponents were pretty gd. We progressed into the quater final when I made yet another stupid mistake n conceded a goal. Tt gm turn on the passion in everyone n the sheer display of our fighting spirit was simply mad. Nsl was cheering us frm the side, arms-in-arms, shouting their voice hoarse. On the pitch, we were attacking waves aft waves, bringing the gm to our opponent. So many chances n I knew a come back is more than just a possibility. But this is part n parcel of soccer, it wasn't our time yet n we were out.

I really want to thank the team for entrusting me wth this hugh responsibility. I was extremely upset n pissed wth myself for conceding tt 2 stupid goals n I felt really sry. I can nv put the blame on the defence but only myself. Coz we can't afford to concede goal every times the defence make a mistake n I am the 1 to ensure tt. Every possible save I didn't made is my fault n today those 2 were.

Sadly I have to discover my own weaknesses in the most painful way. 2 times I misjudged the ball for going out, it went past me on the left into goal. The last 1 I didn't even knew it actually went in. Now I will go for every 50-50 ball, for I knew I cannot trust my judgement on the blind spot side. At least until when I am more experienced...

I hope the team will be more patient wth me n give me more time. I know I am still nt there yet but I will definitely improve myself. I believe I have the ability n I need to think hard now n be serious. Frm now onward, I will take it seriously when I play as keeper for I dun want to learn another painful lesson during tournaments.

I have a dream. A dream tt one day kacc will hold up our 1st trophy proudly. This dream is nt far now. We have won the Sci' Open (FA Cup) n now we r going for bigger win (League Champion) haha. I think we just need to sort out a few things n we r ready to take on any challenge. We have 3 more yrs as students to win tt, this yr will be more abt learning n gaining xp for me. Nxt wk we will be going to complete the previous tournament postphoned coz of rain. We r already in the round of 16 n hopefully, the fighting spirit of kacc will be rewarded.

Come on, Kacc!
