Project X'mas

In case some of you people are wondering what Project X'mas is......let's just say that it's nothing so special. Actually i'm just drawing some art for Christmas(like what i always do for certain occassions). Last time, i use to team up with a Minnesota girl by the name of Nicole Nusbaum making a webpage for Christmas. She did the scripts while i do the drawings. That was about 7 years ago. For this Christmas, I'm drawing Snoopy. The main reason would be that i have this snoopy doll near my monitor. Second supporting statement would be P-chan. She loves Snoopy. Third supporting statement is Snoopy is easy to draw. Okay...i lied on the part where snoopy is easy to draw. But i'm able to draw snoopy thanx to Corine Teh Yew Choo's support and for my determination of drawing a perfect Snoopy. Took me about a week to actually draw a nice snoopy.

So when did i started this project? Well, just yesterday afternoon at 2pm. I finished it at 3am but haven' really finalized it. Anyway, check it OUT. Hope you guys n gals like it.
Merry Christmas !!!

Waiting.....

17th December 2004 3:12am

It's raining heavily now and M-chan just went offline. Or has she? I'm not sure but seems like i dun have the chance to chat with her much lately. Why is this so? I don't know. I really don't know. Anyway, still remember those times when we would talk on the phone for long hours? It was raining heavily as well....just like now. I could barely hear what you were talking then. Especially with your soft voice. It's as if our road had already been decided then. 14 more minutes to go before i turn off this computer and head for bed. What are you doing rite now M-chan? Anyway, i wanna dedicate this song to you. It's called "waiting for you". Yeah...i'm waiting for you to get online again and chat. Been a while since we really chat. I don't know how u've been lately as well. Kinda concern; eventhough i know i'm not suppose to, I cant control it. Oh well, life goes on. Hope u'll like this song. >>

胡彦斌 - Waiting For You

金色的舞鞋 伴着音乐 BABY你的眼睛是一文深邃的湖水

Waiting For Yor I'm Waiting For You

Waiting For Yor Kiss Me At Tonight 为何你Cinderella

留给我一望无际的思念

Waiting For Yor I'm Waiting For You

Waiting For You Come Here To My Dream

牵着你不断旋转 一直到黑发变成了银线 Waiting For You Waiting For You 只到永远




I've waited and it's 3:26. 4 minutes left. Rain's starting to stop. Will i be able to see and chat with you before i go off? My heart says no. But i'm still hanging on. Most probably i wouldn't have that chance. But it's okay. There's still another time. :-)

Theoretically i should be getting closer to my promise. But how come i feel as if i didn't move a pace at all?

Was happy this monday afternoon when i checked my results for my gamma second same paper. I managed to pass all~! Thank GOD. Been two sems since i passed all my subjects. But my GPA is still so low.. It's 2.08. Damn. Nid to work harder if i'm to be any better.

Well...it was a relief that i've passed this semester. Which meant i kept one part of my promise with m-chan. Am i getting closer to my promise? Will i be able to achieve them all? Theoretically i should be getting closer to my promise. But how come i feel as if i didn't move a pace at all? Maybe i thought too much. But the nite before i checked my results, i dreamt of m-chan. Wonder how's she doing over there rite now? Hope she's doing well. From her last reply when i told her that i passed all my papers, it seemed that she may have been burning oil again for her weekly papers. Sigh. M-chan, kah yao~! U're not alone. You have people cheering up for you. :)

The basketball match is over. No more basketball match liaw. My knee is still a bit handicapped. Can't bent them all yet. Still got like......30 degrees more to go? ^^; Tomolo i might go check on the bone specialist. See if i can find out the true reason about my knee. Dun dare to jump eversince last monday's incident-5 minutes in first quarter i had to leave the court coz i injured my knee while landing. Sucks i'll say. But oh well....guess that's my fate.

oh ya...i uploaded a few pics on community webshot. the url is:: http://community.webshots.com/user/foxseija check it out if u guys want to. Just sharing with you guys. Since the business i'm doing also is a sharing business.

Should be all for now. Till then.......

Hurt~! Healed by the Orange Ball

I'm kinda "hurt" today. Not only of all the things that had happen to me but also things that are currently going through my mind. Wish i could just express these feelings deep inside me out and then i'll be able to just forget about it. Unfortunately i'm HUMAN; unlike a robot in which u would be able to erase all its data, memories and errors that it had. I can choose not to think aboutit again but somehow it just pops up into my head after a long time.

Today was a fine day. A fine, lazy day. Didn't do much except for eat and watched slam dunk on pc. So in short, i kinda wasted the whole afternoon watching anime. Then evening came and i had to go for the basketball competition opening ceremony. I was reluctant to go but then i knew that is one of a duty as a coach. So i went, brought by my cousin.
At MBKS bball stadium, we waited for the first match to end before lining up to welcome the arrival of " YB. Lily Yong". I'm not sure who she is but i heard she's a national player for some sport. Wonder wat sport was it? The ceremony like most bball ceremony i attended was just like it had been-BORING. Worst comes worst i had to stand for about 30 minutes mostly on one feet while my still "bent" leg was just supporting another side of my body. Sucks~! But oh well.
So after the ceremony was the 2nd and after the 2nd, the 3rd bball match. The 2nd match was Sarberkas Tabuan Jaya kids against SUPP Batu Lintang (A) teens. I'm very impress in this match because the kids beat the teens. Well, the teens deserve to lose because they weren't playing well at all. The thing in that match that took my attention was the teamwork in STJ(Sarberkas Tabuna Jaya). They really play as if they were professionally trained. I'm very impress in their gameplay indeed. Although in the 1st and 2nd quarter they were losing by 10 points, at the 3rd quarter, number 7 managed to tie the score and at the 4th quarter with number 13's good rebound and 9's determination, they manage to change the flow and win the teens by 10 points. When the game ended, most of the spectators there gave a loud applause. 3rd match was 678 seafood against informatics. As expected, informatics lost. But i was able to see and analyze the players because they were our next challanger this coming Saturday. Man....how i wish i was able to play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How i wish my knee was okay. How i really wish i didn't join the sun shining camp! Dang! Coz of that camp i spent RM25 for it and wat i got? A broken knee. I'm not sure if it will get well again but my friends say that it won't. How i wish that they were wrong. Well, wait until next tuesday and i'll know the result. May there be hope for me.

Basketball to certain people is just a game. To some parents is just a sport that prevent their kids from involving in other unhealthy activities. But to me, basketball is a part of my life. It is the fire within me. When i held the ball in my hand, i could feel what i'm capable of doing and the more i play, the more things i learn in basketball. In fact, i feel as if i can do almost anything in basketball. I feel as if i'm able to master all the skills in bball. I took up playing basketball when my parents rejected me playing soccer because to them, soccer is a rough game. At first, i sulk. But then i knew i had no choice. I'm only a kid that time. What power do i have? My interest in bball started at the end of my primary school days when i followed my dad to watch his basketball team play. I was really amazed at how the game was played. Really amazed. All the lightning speed movements, the jump for rebound which looks like as if the player is reaching for the skies, and also the accurate shootings and the sound of the ball going through the basket net. And not to forgotten also the applause and cheering from the spectators and supporters. I still remember when i watched my father's team play, I could sense the tense of the basketball team. I could feel the worry of losing, then when just even the slightest faith was about to vanish, a glimpse hope emerge somewhere by luck and the situation change from a lost to a victory. Eversince then, i've decided to get myself famous in basketball.

During my first week in secondary school, I was one of the first to bring a basketball to school after noticing my seniors playing basketball everyday after their morning session class finish. Our form one was an afternoon session class. So basically during our recess, we would run down from our hill to the basketball court and join our seniors. At first, the seniors would ignore us, and monopolize the gameplay. But among the seniors, there is always one with a samaritan heart. So he let us played. Although at the begining we got bullied and they took advantage of our newbie playing, we manage to learn fast through their teachings as well as mockings. ^^; In form two, my chance came to play for the school when my seniors told me about the basketball team selection held on saturday. I was 170cm at that time. Quite tall for a form 1 student. So i went for the training, ran 10 laps around the basketball court, did stretchings, warm-ups and then after that basic trainings like lay-ups, shootings, defense and passings. It wasn't easy as i have to cope up with my seniors who are in their form 4 form 5. Our coach that time was Mr. Lim Ren En. He was a plump guy(similiar to Anzai sensei in slam dunk) and had just finish his form 6 in my school. In fact, he was also in charge of the afternoon session prefect. I learnt quite a few from him as well see a few stunts from my seniors. Unfortunately that year, i was filter out from the team. I was a bit sad. But i know that I'm not well up to them yet. During form 3, i missed the basketball selection team. But one of my friend whom i always defeated him 1 on 1 managed to get in the team. His name was freddie voon. Wonder where is this guy rite now? Really wanna settle this debt with him. Coz our last one on one match, I lost to him. My chance of representing the school came when i was in form 4 and form 5. My first match was against chung hua no. 1. And boy were they strong. Somemore we were playing against them at their basketball court. Sigh...Tough luck. In form 5, me along with a few friends; sing hui, kay hong, chee wei(my junior by one year who is now a state representative), ek zing and my lower six friends who came from kuching high represent st thomas to play once more. This time i was more experience but still low in confidence. But with kay hong and sing hui as well as lai supporting me, we manage to get into the quarter finals. So which school did we manage to beat? Well, it was smk lumba kuda and St. joseph(muahahaha...rival school defeated). Unfortunately we lost to kuching town and chung hua no. 3. Our last match was against smk pending. But that last match was more like a skill competition. U can see all types of lay ups. All the "bunga". Basketball life in high school was fun and memorable. The only thing that i really tought a lot was- why the heck i got chosen to play the center position? Anyway, bygones are bygones. Don mind.
Before entering MMU, I was suppose to play against a friend whom i met at Utopia prom nite. Unfortunately mishap fell upon him. I'm very sad of his departure and was shock when i heard the news. Mr. Ryan, rest in peace my friend. Hope that we'll get to play with each other when i get to heaven.

In mmu, during alpha year, i met kah mun, sim, kelvin, siang foong, yang zong, ronan, the sepang gang, triple s and many more whom became my friends and companions in basketball. It is from them i learn friendship. And from them, I met my second gf. During my beta year, my time spent on basketball decrease. Most of my friend that played basketball were in cyber already. Most of my times was spent with her. Unfortunately me n her didn't get along well. And in late beta, i re-enter the basketball court and there i met new friends. I met, kim hian(ultraman), keong yee(K.Y.), ah ping(chang swee phing), fei(fat) ping(also known as egg ultraman), satay, zhao, guo lin, ah peh and many more. All those people whom i keep seeing in my classes in beta but i didn't dare to go befriend with were now my friends. Cool ei? Life was very good when my gamma year starts. It feels more like a new begining and my life seems to have brighten with new friends. I do still keep in conctact with my old pals as i would go down at the first weekend of the semester just to gather with them. They're my "brothers" after all. And i will not forsake them. ^^

2:03am <-that's wat the clock at my monitor display.

Before i end this blog. I'd just like to leave a msg to M-chan.

"When all seems lost, when light of faith seems to dim out, there'll be hope. For I shall be your hope."
M---, if u can read this, I wanna say that i'm really happy and glad that u like it. The moment my bro told me he recieved a weird sms saying about cd, the first thing that went through my mind was you. I was right after all. I know that there's no chance. But i still lift my hope and faith up. Though not as high as before. When u are able to fly, that is when i shall let go and return to my true world. 1-4-3.

AMEN.

Updating myself

So peeps....sorry i've been out of contact for quite sum time. Sumthing just came up. So wat i'm gonna type in here are sum of those stuff that i've done in brief. So check it out::

29th Nov
Afternoon::
My "brother" n his wife sent me to kl sentral and we manage to have lunch together at kfc b4 i catch my train to klia. The flight boarding time was 2:15 and when i got on the train, it was 1:35. I was kinda nervous at that moment coz i tot i would missed my flight again. Why again? Well, i missed my flight two years back during chinese new year eve due to my late check-in. Suppose to check-in an hour before boarding time but i didn't know that. In the end, me and kim hang had to pay extra RM50 and wait for extra seats. Luckily the past didn't repeat itself. Praise the LORD for that. I really ran from the custom check to the boarding room. Fortunately the plane wasn't ready for flight until 3pm. Again, i thank the LORD.

So when i was on the plane, i exchanged my seat to this adorable little girl who wants the seat near the window(K) which happens to be mine. So being a good samaritan, I talked to the mother of the child and gave her my seat tickets. My seat was then changed twice; from (F) to (B) coz the whole family wanted so sit together. Wat else i did on the plane was helping a little boy open the toilet door. Knewing the toilet was unused, i wanted to get up of my seat and help that kid. But sumthing was dragging me back. Could be my pride. But in the end, i let go off my hessitation and helped the kid. Really felt good after that. As if a sin has been cleanse. And guess wat after that? The guy who was sitting beside me started talking to me. We exchanged business cards and chatted a few. It was a nice day that day.

Evening::
That evening as soon as i reached home, i got ready and brought my bro, JBK to batu kawa town bball court. It was there only i found out that they are having a bball match net week. Sum milo competition. So training starts tomolo and i'm the coach.

30th Nov
I woke up early this morning and prepared Nutrilite breakfast for my family. My dad, being a cautios person at first rejected the drinks saying that there are side-effects from it and remind me of uncle jack(dunno who is he) who is said to have died of consuming overdosage of nutrilite. But i doubt it. It just doesn't make sense. If such thing were to happen, then nutrilite would've been banned already in the US. I mean someone else in the US would've also gone through this situation as well. No matter what, I've placed myself into this business and i will put my faith into this business. "If you dun believe, u'll never achieve". That is a saying from my uplines which sounded very true. This business which i'm working "with(not "under" coz if it was under, u will be yelled and sacked)" isn't an illegal company, is good and trustworthy. Else i will never join this company in the very first place. Summore this company provides 100% money back guarantee for most of it's product. This means it protects it's partners as well. Now where can u get that?

Actually i want one thing from this company. My dream is actually to go RSMU and find M-chan(a promise of 3 years), visit her and if she's not doing well there, I'll pay for the compensation and bring her back here. It's crazy but i've decided. It's my dream. I know it sounds stupid but hey; i'm not the only one insane in this world. Take a look around and you'll see that i'm still sane. And i know that through this company, as long as i work a bit harder, I'll achieve it. Along the days in this company, i noticed a sudden change in me. I may not have gotten closer to my dreams yet but alongthe way, i learnt principles in life, i learnt to be able to talk more, the courage to meet up with new ppl and introduce the business i'm doing. Maybe this is why my uplines call this business as a "sharing" business. You share experiences, advices and never ever criticize the mistakes of others; instead u correct them by showing their mistakes. The humor i found in this business is that my business partners all seemed to like "bird-talk". It's sumthing like making fun of each of us but just to entertain. Maybe this is also one of the skills.

Anyway, that evening, that was our very first training. I wouldn't say that the training was sucessful but compare to the days after that, today's training is so far the best. And that nite, i happen to have hurt my knee a bit when guarding my bro. Damn..when will it heal? Been months adi. Almost 2 months since i rested and 4 months since the incident. I had to gave up on my University's 5 on 5 competition because of it. Don't want to drag my team to hell.

PS: scratched my wira car at victor's gate that afternoon while parking into his house. Was damn pissed off of myself that that very nite i couldn't drive well.

1st Dec
Tonite was my very first 5 on 5 friendly match after months of rest. Luckily my knee was still in good condition. Also, the gameplay was nice. Only that we lost.

2nd Dec (Evening)
It was suppose to be our official training but only 5 showed up. Sigh. Didn't do much except for sea-side run(suicide), rebound-shoot, 3-point training and formation. After that was a short game of 3 on 3.

3rd Dec
No training that nite and i went out to meet up with alvin and robin at PC fair which was held at "taman kereta". We met many of our friends there by luck and i oso manage to spot my cyber sis and his hubby. I mced my sis bt seems like no response. So i tot i saw wrongly. Minutes later, she smesd me and told me she tot she saw me at the pc fair. So that means i was right after all. After that i went to find alex and then head for Mermaid. The place is small and it's not really hot there. The songs played were ah beng songs. No offence but that's wat i felt. So wat me, robin, alvin and daniel did there was watched "double vision" on the tv there. After that we went to mike's house and at 1pm sumthing, we head back. Comment on myself:: I drove badly today. Nearly rammed into a lorry. Could it be the beer that i drank? Nah~!

4th Dec
Stayed at home the whole day. No training because edmund went sibu, jason and my cousin went santubong, dunno where is wei loon, and i didn't contact the sejijak ppl. Alex invite me out. I know that tonite would be hot at the pub but sumhow i rejected him. Maybe coz the computer was back. I kinda nearly spoiled the computer on the second day i got back. I was cleaning the computer, disassembling it and then reassembling it back. When i open the computer, it seems that sumthing went wrong. Only todaywhen brother Kelvin explained it to me then i realized that i nearly burn the AMD athlon 2500+. Phew~!

5th Dec.
Went out to find jerry and lend him the RM100 he nid. He said he'll pay back on 26th Dec. Hope he keeps his words. I dun usually lend money to peeps unless they have a good relation with me.

6th Dec
Our first official matched. I got very worried today coz i kept wondering if our team will be rejected. We haven't filled in the form, it was 5:30pm and we're stucked in a traffic jam and it was raining(which means the jam gonna get worse). Fortunately things went well. We got there with enuf time, i get to meet the auntie that was selling snakcs and drinks there, get to chat with her and bought an adidas reject basketball uniform set for RM25. The material of the shirt is nice. The only thing bad about it was the sewing. Only a bit handicapped here and there. But for RM25, It really worth it.

That was the good news, now comes the SUCKY one. 5 minutes first quarter of the match, i injured my knee again. And boy was it really serious. My knee swell badly, I could barely walk and had to get my bro to support me back to the bench. My cousin subsitute me after that. Our oppenent that day wasn't strong at all. Their only advantage were that they had a bit of team-work. I got a bit pissed of my knee that nite. But I knew i had to be optimistic. Things happens for a reason. And that nite we lose 37 to 60.

7th Dec
Went to see the specialist at timberland this morning. Rested and then got myself to the second match. With a still swelling knee, i manage to get myself walking, endure those tiny sharp pain cause by the swelling cells and bones which squish my nerve as i move my leg. Today's opponent was said to be the previous champion. And that nite we lost even though our rival weren't playing 100%. Sigh......

I'm thinking of retiring from bball for a year or two. Until i am sure that my knee will be okay. According to the doctor that i wnt to see this morning, there's a possiblity that my nerve inside my knee(between the knee-cap and the joints) is injured. He said that it's one of the main cause for me being unable to control my left leg. And that explains why i injured myself after just doing a turnaround then and fade-away shot. It'll be a bad news if it's true. But he did say that my legs are strong. ^^.

Our next match will be this saturday. I know i cant play yet. And mostly i wouldn't play. But depends on my leg. If i think my leg can handle it, then i'll play. Bball is important to me. Because if it weren't for bball, I would've never existed in the very first place. I would be nothing but a speckle of dust..

8th Dec..
Maybe will get edmund and train his footsteps this afternoon. He committed "travelling" during yesterday's match. And tonite maybe they'll be a training to get ready for the match against our next rival.

I'll end it here now. AMEN.

To Be Continued..........
