Towin-ing For A Good Cause

2 days of 'working' experience in METRO was very enriching indeed.
I've learnt alot, especially getting myself used to the town life, and of coz, the directions!

First day, i've already facing problems of even going to Paragon, the place i was supposed to be at for the SIF-Metro thingy.
I dropped at Somerset MRT and instead of going to the Orchard Road, I walked along the Somerset road and wondering where IS Paragon. I went to check on the directory map and that was went i realized i was WAAAYYY off.
I finally reached there after 30mins of wondering around. haha..

The METRO lady who briefed me about what i was supposed to do for the day was gorgeous dude! I kept smiling at her throughout the briefing, and she responded with a smile too. I guessed she knew what i was thinking. ha ha ha. Nevertheless, i was NOT distracted by her looks coz she tested me on the rules and regulation that i need to abide. She asked me to gave one but i gave TWO! She was impressed indeed. haha.

My 'colleagues' for the day were my own classmates; Hui Qi, Silu and Edwin. We were given a booth, where the donation was to be held.

Throughout the 10 hours from the 2 days of asking people to donate willingly, i had a taste of the various kind of behaviours from different people; both foreigners and locals. Surprisingly for me, 60% who donated were foreigners! I wondered if they were trained to be like that back in their country. Hmm. I guessed Christmas is coming, that's why.

There are some behaviours from them which strikes me; either interesting or unsual. haha.

There's this classic one; an old ang moh guy. Just for ur info, anyone who donate will be given a METRO voucher and have a chance to win a lucky draw. When this guy donated, we asked him whether he wants to fill in the lucky draw form but he rejected it by sayin "Nono, donation must be made from the heart. Sincerity u know." he said with the typical ang moh accent. For a moment, i was impressed with that, but just before i wanted to thank him, Silu asked him if he wants the voucher instead, and he immediately replied ,"Wow, thats better!", took it and walked away. hahaha. so ironic man that guy!

And there's this indian guy who really DON'T want to donate when we approached him, so we gave him our pamphlet, hoping that he will changed his mind. Few minutes after he walked away, he came back with a $5o dollar note in his hand and slipped inside the donation box. I never knew that pamphlet will made such a difference! haha. Coz im sure many of u, when u get pamphlets or ads through the streets, u will be walking a few metres down and dispose it away as soon u see the nearest rubbish bin. Isn't that right? Or perhaps to be more exact, u just litter it. haha.

There's alot more than that which i had experienced. But i wont say it anymore here. To know more, i recommend u to start working now, be a salesperson of sumthin, coz it will be so much interesting knowing the behaviours of different poeple.

Go. Go ahead and find a job.
Siting at home will just make u fatter.
haha.

For now, people like me, should just stay at home for the rest of the holidays and start preparing for school. OK, lets start. Where's my pencil case?

Ada hikmah sebalik HIKMAH.

OK. Lets blog about last Monday.

HIKMAH finally ended! Man, i just love the ending.
Everything seems to turn good.
Adrian recovered from his loss of memory.
He gets back with Ana.

One lucky guy.
Ana is such a pretty, religious, tetap-sabar person.
He should be very very thankful that Ana wants him back.

Why such dramas must end with a happy ending?
Next time, if im the director, i will make sure the main character dies.
haha. that will be more dramatic.
especially the main character which everyone adores. in this case, Adrian.
His first accident made him lost his memory.
Then, his second accident made him back to his usual-self.
Got such thing ah? Two times lucky seh. haha.

Aniwae, in overall, i actually like the senetron lah.
Alot of tragedies, complications and Ana, especially, handled it very well.
I give credit for that.

LUCKY still got HIKMAH 2 next year.
I just wonder what more problems will arise.
Hmm.

So, on tues, i did some tutioning with my cousin and the next morning, i went for hockey training at NTU. We had to do a 4.8km run as a warm-up before our match against JWSS. by then, every single one of us doesnt have the energy to run around the pitch. Luckily it ended 0-0. Fuhh! and i had a goal opportunity to score on a counter-attack but the keeper saved my shot. Should it have been soccer, i should have blasted it............ over. haha.

We went swimming after that at the NTU itself just for some fun, although it was not planned. Therefore, nobody bring any extra underwear. hahaha.

And today, again, doing more tuitioning with my cousin. As u can see, its getting more routine for me. the same old things kept repeating. Hafiz asked me out to play soccer at SP but i was too tired coz the previous nite i slept late watching Chelsea vs Newcastle. Curse them for the 1-0 win, but, I cant deny.. Drogba is really good man.

Aniwae, for the next 2 days, on fri and sat, i will be at METRO Paragon doing some community work from 10-3. Probably collecting donations lah. So if u want to help me, and also to help the poor people around the world, come down lah yer and contribute the money that u may potentially waste it on other unnecessary things. haha.

Takde duit tambang untuk balek.
Camne nie..

The Day I Did A Bad Deed(A Lie To Save A Friend)

Today was quite a hectic day for me.. MALAY DANCE(erm! aku dipaksa lah) in the morning, den i have to rush to my cousin's place to give him tuition. He is planning to go Anderson Junior College next year, so yeah, his mom kind of want me to prepare him for next year's syllabus. haha.

Aku maner nye pro je ajar2 orang. haha.

Immediately after that, rushed again to meet Taufiq, Firdaus and Hafiz at BP. Initially, we were planning to go to SIM to have our lunch and go to SP for soccer. But we changed it last min to eat at Al-Ameen.

This where something really wrong happen.
Not to me.. of coz.. haha. But to HAFIZ.

Hafiz was chewing a gum and he decided to spit it out from the overhead brigde near Beauty World there. He aimed a car which cun2 speeding below him. and it HIT! BULLEYE at the windscreen.
Of coz the other 3 including me kept insisting him not to do that.

We thought nth would happen but as luck always against us, the car made a right turn to the Beauty World carpark, winding down the window, and started shouting at us. Hafiz started to walk fast and take cover in Al-Azhar toilet. The other 3 of us chill2 walk to Al-Ameen as if nth happen. haha. We didnt do anythin wrong wat.
Surprisingly, the driver never gave up and approached us, still in his car, taking our photo using his hp. We posed for it lah of coz. haha.

We started arguing with him about that incident in front of the Al-Ameen restaurant. Luckily, tat time few ppl only. We argued and argued, denying that we are juz 'acquantaince' to the cuprit. Hafiz came to the rescue, but tis time, he was wearing a different shirt.

We acted stupid all the way thru the argument, saying that the culprit we knew him as 'Kamil'(sorry to all the Kamil-s in the world for using ur name) . I just give u all a glimpse of our conversation. Here it goes:

Juda(Tats his 'pet' name i think.. haha): I think u're the one hu did rite juz now?(saying with an angry tone while looking at Hafiz)

Hafiz: Ouh.. so u blaming me? i juz came and i dunno anythin happen.

Firdaus: Yar.. he just came down from the bus.

Me: Anyway, i think that Kamil had run away far from here by now.

Juda: Can you contact him now? Dun say u all dun have his no.

Hafiz: Hey.. do u understand? We are not close to him. We only know him while playing with him once at NP. tats all.

Me, Firdaus, Taufiq: (Nodding our head and said a convincing 'Yar!')

He took my hp no. and take our group photo one last time for 'memories'. He asked we all to search for 'Kamil' and called him back b4 5 right before he finally left.

Fuhh! That was the end of it. We four sat for awhile and started laughing to ourselves about the incident.

Just imagine what will his reaction be:
During the arguments.. we paused.. and smiled at him.. "Sir, we just wanna tell u that...
U're on MTV Boiling Point. Here's ur 10 bucks.

Ungu - Tercipta Untukku

10 Days Away From Home.

I've been away for 10 days away from home, according to my calculation.
And its all happening in November.
So its like 1/3 of the month i've been away from my family. So sad.

Let me break down the 10 days:

-5 days having OBS
-2 days having Class Chalet at Downtown East
-3 days having Hockey Camp

I only reach home from the hockey camp yesterday afternoon. It was a very tiring and emotional(erm!) month for me.

OBS was indeed fun and tiring. That one i do not need to talk much coz i know everyone knows about it. I was in DA GAMA clan. Make alot of new friends from other JCs such as AJC, NJC, TPJC and MJC.
My personal achievement there was went i was selected to be the Navigator for the Sea Expedition and the Captain for the 8 Sea Expedition Leaders. haha. wow! It was a nice experience for me although i was quite stressed up when comes to make sure everyone have enough water to prevent dehydation, where to stop for lunch, their safety etc. I had to lead 62 of them back to our base camp by canoeing around the whole Pulau Ubin.
I suffered sunburns and now, people think im getting darker now. but dark nice rite? haha.

For the 2 days class chalet nothing much i guessed. haha. Coz only 4 boys turn up! I brought a soccer ball but how to play wif only 4 boys? the girls at least 11 came. haha. Most of our time doing BBQ-ing and playing PS2, Pro Evo 6. That's all for the first day. And we went to Escape Theme Park the next day in the morning and i left early in the afternoon to go VivoCity, meeting my family and cousins there to catch a movie, Happy Feet. Really nice show. You all must watch ok? haha. really, its nice!

By the time i reach home, it was late, around 1am and i had to pack my bag for the next's day hockey camp. And that's when my HP spoilt when i charged it! Spoil my mood seh that night.

My first day hockey camp was quite HAPPENING already. In the morning itself, while having my physical training, my malay dance cheographer, Mr Othman, caught me not going for the his malay dance practice. haha. shit. and i was forced to stop my hockey trainings halfway for the dance. In the afternoon we had our team bonding games and at night we had to watch the World Cup final(Hockey not Soccer!) between Germany and Australia. We watched this movie too, Remember the Titans, which is about an American Football Team having some race crisis, between the blacks and whites and how they overcome that barrier to win the championships. Another nice movie i recommend to u all.

Second day we had our physical trainings again in the morning followed by a testimonial match against our PJC Alumni. lost 6-0. haha. i played the Centre Forward position and it seem i missed all those chances in front of goal. I guessed i should just focus on my soccer. hahaha.
Back in school, we played street soccer and yeah.. i was back to my best man!
We had BBQ that night.. and thats make me to have 3 BBQ outings in just a week including the one i had during my ex-cckss friend, Delia's birthday party.
That night, the whole hockey team cramped together in one room to share about their ghost stories. And when comes to this, i had alot of them! So i was like becoming the main ghost story-teller. hahaha.
The next day, we were slacking all the way. the whole team only woke up at 9 when we supposed to have our Canal Run at 7. haha. and you know why our teacher-in-charge didnt woke us up? Coz he was away having his Standard-Chartered Marathon Run. therefore, nobody control us that day. haha. we played soccer till 1 before we were finally dismissed.

During this November month, not only i had learnt to be a leader in OBS or a first-team player in hockey, i also learnt how to handle setbacks when comes to relationship. I had some emotional roller coaster ride (harris taught me this phrase) recently. Lost someone whom i dearly love for 2 long years. But i had to move on. Perhaps we might meet again in the future. Only God knows.

Aniwae, i got to go now. Maybe when i got those pictures during the 10 days, i'll post it here. Sorry for the LOoOOoNNg post. i know its boring. haha. but if u do read this now, i guessed u must have a strong endurance to finish reading this post! Congrats.
