A-levels: IM DONE!!

Finally, after 2 years' of sweat, tears and blood.. Im done with my A's! haha. wait.. not to that extent lah. But seriously.. im so relieved that its over! You know.. Being in JC can be so unbearable if things are not going your way.. alhamdullilah, everythin was quite smooth for me throughout that period.

Anw, A levels was ok i guess. GP was 50-50. im nt sure wat i wrote for the essay. "History of Singapore". Explains that..
Math, Mly lit and Phy were so much better. Although mly lit was abit different from what we used to practise in sch.
Chem was a little bit difficult for me. Well.. actually thats not surprising since my chem has always been not good since secondary school.

Since i've tried my best, i will just hope it will turn out good. Because i will be lost if i didnt make it to university. and if god wills, i want to enter Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in NTU. That will be nice... Insyaallah.

I don't think i've said this during my previous entries before, but im enlisted for NS on the 9th of April nxt yr! so late man.. Don't ask me whether im joining the Army, Police or Civil Defence coz i myself not sure. haha. REALLY. and why in the world do i need to go for the 2nd medical checkup?! seriously no answer to that. nvm.

Anyway, recently i received this RSAF letter. wow! i was excited of cos. I thought i was confirmed chosen intially, but when i read further on, it is an invitation for their talk. haha. chey... but i think im going for it. You never know when ur opportunity will come. So, im trying my luck to get any tips there. haha.

Besides all these, im free after the A's ended. Abit TOO free i can say. That is why im trying to get a job soon. Someone offered me a job as a malay instructor, teaching malay language to Chinese and Tamil students. On the other hand, there's currently a job at Ritz-Carlton Hotel as *erm* not sure. I prefer a customer service job where i can relate with new people everyday. Let's see how it goes.

Recently, last friday to be exact, my cousin's malaysian granddad died of old age in Pontian. Although i didnt knew him that well, i was grateful that he has taken care well of my family's land property there. I was there on wednesday and thursday and he was in an unconscious state. I held his hand. It was cold and he was having difficulty in breathing. I pitied his condition but i can't do much. All i do was praying. just before i left for Singapore, i had a last look at him and deep inside, i knew that will be my last time seeing him alive. True enough, around 4.30am, my dad woke me up and told me he had just passed away. May god bless his soul. Amin. You know.. he's the one who taught me the skill of slaughtering a chicken. I think it will come in a handy one day.

The upcoming most-look-forward event. GradNite. Well, i havent bought anythin yet for it but this time, im sure im not goin to repeat the same mistake like i did back in CCKSS. I wont plan last-min for what i wanna wear, i wont wear oversized blazer, and i hopefully, my hair will be in a much better shape, for ONCE! You know.. i always dream of wearing what taufik batisah used to wear for most of his performances. PURE WHITE. i think wearing white is cool man! but of cos no budget ah to wear it. its ok.. i'll look for improvisation.

here are the videos about a landslide in Pontian happened just 200m away from my kampung. And the reporter on LIVE, Khairul Ruzaini reports.... (with his rabak malay, mentang2 Alevels baru abes)

Alright, my bed calling me. selamtz.

Maklumlah.. sampai skarang aku masih cycle ke skolah.. camne kaki aku tk grow.. haha. Yang hairannye, ramai plak peminat tat time.. taklah hansem sgt kan.. tak tau lah..

Alright everyone, taking care.. Selamtz!

I'll Be Back After A's!

Well, well.. Prelims are finally over. Which is both good and bad news. Good news is that i can now focus entirely on my A's but the bad news is that A's is drawing near!

I guessed i should not explain it any further, if not it will be as long as the other past entries which i did. haha. Alright, lets start talking about something new. Something which everyone will go through in life... which is... relationship. I've read quite a number of articles based on how to become a gd partner and etc.. and i find it quite useful for everyone.

Why i chose this topic because basically, my friends (the guys) always shared about how they fail to either win a girl's heart or emo because they just broke up. Pity u know. I myself not good in this but sometimes i do try to make an effort to advise them. Well.. i think it is important to see our own mistakes.. although its very difficult to do so. Most of the time, we end up blaming the other party because of a failed relationship. Remember.. *erm2* love is beautiful and we have to respect love like we respect ourselves.. chey.. :)

TIPS:

1. Strong in religion
- This element of religion is very useful. No religion teaches us to be bad. Religion teaches us to be patient and learn how to react to certain situations. We learnt to respect people, including our partner. I can bet you ur relationship will rarely have arguments. Serious!

2. Confident in yourself
- As Oasis's saying goes " Don't look back in anger". Sometimes the grass are greener at the other side. So look forward and think positive. Old flames are difficult to go away but if you still love him/her, remember.. as long as he/she hasn't got married, you still got chance. Must think that way aite. And of cos, learnt from your past failures and don't repeat it.

3. Moments Of Romance
- When you are down and everything seems to go wrong, do not let it loose completely. Bring back the memories, moments before the courtship, the time when u wanna tackle her, the time when u two had a perfect time together, the time when u said I MISS YOU or I LOVE YOU.. cewahh! Bring back all those memories and confirm, you will cherish ur partner more.

4. No to one-sided
-Remember.. Don't do things just to please your partner alone. In a r'ship, both parties need to play their part. Happy together-gether, sad together-gether, everything must experience together lah! That will be better right? If there is anything to be discussed, go ahead! Share what u like and wat u dislike and understand each other's interest.. aite? You Never Walk Alone!

5. Advice
-Advising each other is important so as to remain strong in the relationship. But of cos, let ur tone be nice when u're advising. Don't shout lah, of cos, the other party will be pissed off. Aperdah..

6. Don't look down on ur partner
-As the saying goes again, " No one is perfect". Accept the way ur partner is. Remember.. inner beauty is much more important cos it will last for a lifetime. Even if ur partner is not as pretty as Siti Nurhaliza or as handsome as Taufik Batisah, ur partner is already a god's gift. So, appreciate ur partner!

7. Promise
-Promise is a very delicate thing which can easily be broken. So be careful the next time when u want to make a promise. Do not promise the things that u know u cant do it bcos, once broken it is considered sold! u sold his/her trust away! Trust is very impt to keep the relationship strong, so do not give it away cheaply!

8. Always be on her side
-This goes especially to the guys.(termasok aku lah ni) Usually guys take for granted that the girls is always ok. Not good man! Must make an effort to be with her always.. cos remember, u choose her to be ur lovely partner right? So.. cherish them and dont neglect them! sadist u know.. human beings do have feelings which need to be taken care of.

9. Communication
-This is an important aspect in the relationship. Remember.. when having problems, share and solve it together. Got plans, discuss. Got anything to share, just share. Don't keep2. The best thing is, communicate in person.. until both party understand it so that there will be no misunderstandings.

10. No harsh words
-Lastly, do not ever scold or scream at ur partner.. especially guys again in this case. Mood swing or having a bad day, at least, do not affect it to ur partner too. Control ur voice when u're angry and control ur actions when u're pissed off. As guys, u need to know that girls is an emotional being, so.. learn to keep cool and use ur brain, not ur feelings! As Mawi always said, " Hidup ni mesti kene chill... baru WORLD!"

On a personal note, im not lah the hitch or anythin. Just trying to share some things which i thought will be useful to u all also. As far as i know, i still have alot to learnt from this. But watever it is.. budak2, ingat! study comes first. dengar lah kate mak bapak. jgnlah matair2 dulu.. tu later in life can.. kalau dah gatal, kahwin sudah. haha. sori tu yg slalu mak i yg ckp. anw, do put ur studies as ur first priority. And if u do have a gf/bf, AT LEAST ah.. dun let it affect ur studies. klah, sebagai akhir kata sebelom aku gone for good for my A's, do not blame fate if we havent put in effort. So what are you waiting for?? work it out man.. Selamtz!

funny soccer.

The Time Is Near

I had my first prelim paper today, General Paper... and no comments for that. All i can say is that my paper 1 is fine, but im a lil bit worry if my essay goes out of track. Compre was quite difficult but my time management is better compared to the past. haha. So... nothing to be proud of actually.

So my next paper will be on the 10th of Sept onwards. Which means i have only a week more to study.. and exactly 2 months away from my A Levels! It's very scary to realize that my 2 years in JC had passed very quickly. I doesn't even have the time to appreciate it. Everyday, my routine has always been the same. Wake at 6.30am, bathe, pray, eat breakfast, go school, lessons all the way to 4 in average, night study in sch(if gt mood) till 8, reach home, eat dinner, check email, do some work and sleep. And this cycle continues. Well, actually this process only started a month ago. Before that, especially last year, i would reach home late from hockey trainings and the schedule would end up the same as now.

In addition to that, my social life is quite affected while im in JC. The only time im able to spend time with my sec sch friends is during Saturday. Well, we'll just kick around the ball and crap while waiting for 'next team'(correct anot Taufiq? haha). Really miss the old times man. Sometimes i wonder why i didnt just join them in poly in the first place. Life would be much more simpler and less complicated i guess. I will be able to play street soccer everyday, join the poly's soccer team, look out for chicks(erm! khai khai.. aper nak jadi ngan kau..), hangout, play pool, counterstrike, go gym and the list goes on. Come to think of it, i would be much more happier if im in poly. Poly life is great and im sure i will perfectly fit into the system. But i chose JC for one particular reason. The one which i've been hold on to for a long time.

To become a pilot. That's it. Cannot see the link? Well, let me explain. A well-paid pilot needs to have a degree. In order to have it, i have to go to uni. can see now? haha. good. as simple as that. REALLY.

My perspective of life is that we must aim high and push ourselves to the limit. We'll never know our potential as long as we enjoy the simple life's pleasure. Sometimes it is good to go out of our confort zones and try on other things. That is why i so far i took every opportunity that is available for me. Personally, i've been trying to follow that life motto as close as possible. But of course, as an adventurous and ever-courious teenager like any other, im still the Khairul Ruzaini you know of who enjoys every single moment of his life. Im saying all this partly because i was inspired by some people i've met in life, for example, recently, Doctor William Tan made an inspiring talk to PJCians last week during assembly. He is one good example that we need to follow and to be proud of. And also not to forget, Ikram from the novel 'Restu' too. hahaha. (Don't understand? Go read the novel!) Therefore, im not saying that poly life is laid-back or whatsoever. Don't get me wrong ok? Poly life is best, same goes to JC. whatever it is, make full use of it. To cut things short:

APPRECIATE LIFE'S SIMPLE PLEASURE + AIM HIGH
= ENJOY LIFE!

Damn.. why i explain so long man when this mathematical equation explains everything. haha.


One of the few moments in PJC that i made a fool of myself. haha. Im not lembut! Itu semua reakaan semata-mata!

National Day Break.. Nice.

Life is fine so far.

Stress starts to build up. Which is good.
Without stress, we won't be pushing ourselves. Assuming everyday is Sunday that is.

Tests are coming up very fast and furious. Which is good.
Without tests, we won't be able to tell whether we had master certain topics and understand the concepts fully.

Revision and Practice Papers are coming in everyday. Which is good.
Without revision, we solely tend to read through the lecture notes, thinking we have studied, which is not.

English Premier League is starting from this weekend onwards. Which is NOT good.
It will distracts me and waste at least 2 hours every week. (If i decide to watch Man Utd match only, which is not always the case)

Friendly matches are creeping into my weekends. Which is NOT good.
Soccer matches makes me tire fast and sleep for additional hours = less time to study.

GCE A Levels in 83 days' time. Which is NOT good.
You know that i know that everyone knows time is going to fly very fast.

Today's National Day Celebration in school was a bore. The performance is more like Racial Harmony Day with dances from different ethic groups. And the sing-along songs were very limited. They played the new ones instead of the classics. Because of that, nobody was in the mood to sing along. I was just looking forward to play soccer after that. To add on, Al-Function team is set to play against PJC Soccer Team this sat. wow.. interesting isn't it? For the first time, im going to play against my own school. A goal from me will be nice though. But one problem: I got a new injury, actually not really new bcos it bothers me only recently when actually it has longed since last year. I think it has something to do with my right metartesal bone. There's always a sharp pain in my right toe everytime i tonjol(toe-poked in Malay) the ball. Well-known footballers like Rooney and Beckham all experienced this before. Hai.. this is the problem when you play too much soccer.

Alright, Happy 42th National Day to all!



P.S: Sorry for the crap entry. Seriously, i can't think of what to write man!

Updates

Sorry guys.. its been a long time i last blogged. 2 months? Ya.. that long i guess.

Ok.. for the updates.

1) Let's talk about the most exciting thing first. Ya.. u know. Soccer! Anw, i will just make it short and simple. Al-Paix(Al-Function combined forces with another team, PAIX) played 2 matches so far. Against this team consist of Teck Whye sec ppl and we won 4-3. I scored two to be more detailed. haha.. and just now, against MI soccer team. Lost 2-1. But we really felt it was supposed to be 2-2. no referee so that's why. abit unfair. And ya, a fight almost broke out. luckily i came to the rescue and calm the situation down. standard. I was like shouting to everyone, " You all want to play football or not?! If you do, then better start playing REAL football or we should just stop here!" Fierce..

2) PPP. White box Festival. I was surprised to get a call-up by Cikgu to become the main actor fo this year's event. Even though it was nice to hear that, im not mentally prepared to go through another round of intensive rehearsals. Furthermore, the actual performance is only in 2 weeks' time! All that i can promise is that i can help to improve the current situation of the preparation right now. To start with, the J1s did pretty ok and not as bad as what i've heard from Cikgu. Even though they are quite lagging behind time, im quite confident they can pulled it through that day.

3) Mid-Year Exams. Hmm.. well, what can i say. Unsurprisingly, i failed my H1 chem. I didnt prepare enough for it simply bcos i focused too much attention on my H2 subjects. And luckily the strategy doesn't really backfire as i passed all my H2 subjects.

• Math-C
• Phy-E
• Malay Lit(paper 1)-C

Malay lit paper 1 was bad. i went off-tracked in my compo and it pulled down my marks significantly. I should have gotten B. Same goes to math and phy. Should have gotten a grade higher. But its ok. Its only mid-yr. I still have my prelims before my actual A's. Come on khai!

Ya allah, sessungguhnya insanMu ini memerlukan pertolonganMu. Berikanlah ku kekuatan dan tabahkan lah hatiku. Tenangkan lah fikiranku dan tunjukkan lah cahaya nurMu kepadaku Ya Allah. Amin.

4) Left Hamsting Injury. I realized that im having a recurring problem with my left hamstring. It all started during sec 2 when CCKSS played against Jurongville which we drew 3-3. And it happened again in sec 4 in the match against Juying in which we won 3-1 and i was forced to be sub out. And it happened AGAIN in this year's Sports Day in my last event. Other than that, i do feel the pain on and off. Seriously, it is frustrating. Everytime the injury occurs, i can't even bend, sit down, or pray properly. I think i really need help here.

5) Im off! it's morning already. Hopefully i will have time to blog more often. Sorry for the inconsistency and delays. Adios!

NAPHA test - My Last

Finally, I'm done with my NAPHA test.

To start with, I got full marks for all my five stations!
Although i had never been doing well enough for my sit-and-reach and standing broad jump(SBJ) recently, i finally achieved it. You know i've never been flexible and therefore i was quite surprised that i managed to hit 51cm for sit-and-reach. Not only that.. for SBJ, i finally crossed the 250cm mark by getting 251cm. haha. 1 cm more only.
However, i paid a price during these two stations because it worsened my hamstring injury. So when it was time for the shuttle run, i really ran slower than slower. To add more misery, the track was slippery. I had 3 tries but 2 of the tries were not counted as i slipped during the run. I ended up getting 9.6s for the last try. Not only me though who slipped. i guessed 75% of the them who took the NAPHA test that day slipped and fell too. haha. So its not that i'm clumsy or anything.

By the time we had to prepare for the 2.4km run, i was already having a serious hamstring problem. Unbearable it was and i had a difficult time to even walk. However, i did pushed myself to complete it. I was literally jogging with 'one functioned leg'. So.. the timing was really nothing to be proud of. i got 11.45min. hahaha! C grade of 3 points to be exact. Therefore, i got 28 points in total.

Anyway, im really glad that NAPHA is over. It's been a long time since i played soccer in school. So PE is perhaps the best time to do it.

For now, i should just relax one corner and wait for the injury to heal.

Selamtz.

Reflection

Hello everyone!
Just wanna keep you all updated..
Recently i've won 3 golds from my school's sports day! =)

Woah.. isn't that nice?
Actually, seriously, sincerely, frankly, honestly, i had never dream of that to happen.
I was just hoping for a 2nd for my both 100m and 200m events.
Yes.. I had to admit that i was really nervous before the events because there were some good runners. Although i kept some hope and optimism to win both, i didn't put much hope for myself. I told the inner self of me that, since this is going to be my last sport's day, i should just go out there and enjoy every moment of it.

Fortunately, it ended up really really well for me. For a moment, i thought it was like a dream come true or some sort. haha. Maybe im still dreaming right now, but as i looked back at the medals i've got so far in my whole like participating in sport's day, it was true indeed. I've achieved almost everything that i hoped for.

Back in primary school, i aimed to be in the top 3 for every events i participated and i finished 2nd for all the events, namely 100, 200 and 400m. That was way back in Pri 4. As i moved on to my secondary school life, CCKSS gave me a chance to prove myself that im capable of doing long distance running. The first year itself i've won 1st in the Annual Cross-Country. I was ecstatic of course! I had never knew that im capable of achieving such feat. But somehow my stamina dropped as the years went by and i got 2nd in sec 2 and 3 and 6th in sec 4. haha! perhaps im too old to run anymore. After receiving my O's results and graduated, i told myself that im not going to repeat all those achievements i've made last time. You know.. sometimes when you achieve something great, you feel you have done enough and you are contented with it. That's exactly how i feel.

Therefore, after all these years studying in tertiary education, i realized one thing, we should not be contented of what we have.

We must always persevere on and continue to strive for bigger success. We may find it mentally exhausting and physically demanding as it goes on, but we will never know when our time will come. The time which may change our life permanently. I'm not talking about those negative stuffs, but the good ones. You know.. when i won the title of 'Individual Champion', it was not a matter of personal glory or something to be boast about, but the feeling of satisfaction and the sense the achievement are invaluable. It is something that is very priceless and only hardwork, endurance(and of course, abit of luck) can paid it off.

Anyway, although i've said that, to be frank, i was quite lucky to win these things because i've never work hard for it. Maybe soccer has helped me to become a fitter person all these years but other than that, i didnt really go for runs or have a little workout at the gym. I guess, maybe i've got a little advice for everyone of you out there.

-Put your mind to anything that you do and everything will just fall in place nicely-

That's what i believe. Focus on the things that you aimed for and insyaallah, dengan keberkatan ibu bapa awak jugak, you can achieve almost everything. Why i said 'keberkatan ibu bapa'? Because they are ones who will give us the blessings to do things the right way. So, do good to your parents today onwards ok adik-adik?

Selamtz. (",)

Sweet Victory

"This year's sports day was my last, but it was my best." - Khairul Ruzaini

Im back! (for now..)

Hey guys, im finally here to update.. Sorry to keep you all waiting. And yar, thanks very much for your patience. haha.

Let's see.. last 2 weeks, i went to Cameron Highland and KL with my family and cousins to attend my cousin's wedding cum short break after my common test. Oh ya.. talking about common test, its been very bad. i guess i didn't really prepared well for it although i studied hard this time round compared to the other times. Therefore i had to meet the HOD to have a small counselling session.. and it ended within 6 minutes only! maybe my case was not that serious compared to the others.. but yet, it's still bad.

Going back about my short holiday, it was quite a memorable trip. I didn't really regret going there and miss 2 school days. haha. but seriously before that i was desperately didn't want to go for the trip bcos i was afraid to miss lessons. luckily i managed to pick up from where i left and still coping quite well now, i guess.

Anyway, Cameron highland was nice man! very cold. macam kat negeri orang putih dah.. the hotel didnt even have an air-conditioner because its already cold enough.. and the people there are really proud of their strawberries harvestation. Strawberries shops are everyway. From the fruit itself, to the souvenirs, to the toys. Everything. its like heaven of strawberries. haha.

The following day we went to KL to shop, shop, shop. Not me of course. My aunties lah who else. I only managed to buy some PS2 games for myself at Petaling Street. that's all, serious. I didnt really looked forward to my cousin's wedding initially, but when i finally went for it, it was happening man! Alot of popular celebrities there including Fasha Sandha, Jalahuddin Hassan, Rosyam Nor, Ezyln, Aqasha and many more. i was awe-struck of course! Can't believe that im finally meeting these talented and well-established individuals. Fasha was gorgeous that night and Ezyln was so compatible with me. hahaha! tak tau malu. but seriously, she was very sweet seh that night, and still do. Terpegun sungguh..

And.. i've done with my NS medical screening. It was quite an expericence for me. Suddenly i feel that im no longer a teen but a young adult. The pre-enlistees there were all much older than me. I can't wait to experience the NS life. Its going to be tough, everyone knows that, and im excited with the challenge. But yes.. A levels comes first.

This week was quite interesting for me.. i had my SYF Malay dance and Sport's Day Heats on the same day. After a gruelling 5 months of rehearsals, it finally paid off. We won Silver! that's really a big deal for me and the rest because we're the pioneers of Pioneer JC to participate in this. I was not surprised by the results though because i was expecting it already. Overall, i've gained alot of experience through this process because this is my first time participating in a CCA consisting of the both sexes, therefore, i've learnt to make friends and get along well from the opposite gender. haha. afterall, i've been only in soccer and only soccer in my whole life. At least now i know how its like to perform in the SYF. Quite sad that its going to be my first and my last time. hai..

And yar, for my heats.. i got 2nd in the 100m event. Lost to a J1 volleyball guy by his head. I was disappointed with myself for slowing down in the last 20m. I was leading for the first 80m when i realize my legs were getting tired very fast. i slowed down a little and he catched up on me. wasted.. hopefully it wont repeat again in the finals. For the 200m events, the heats was cancelled and brought forward to the finals. its going to be a a very tough race because from what i know, my competitors are all VERY fast runners. I won't put much hope on this. For the 4x100m event, i got the feeling that its going to be a very exciting event because all the houses have good runners, and im really looking forward to it. It will be nice to repeat last year's victory. =)

oh ya, PA 4-on-4 futsal tournament is tomorrow! It's been a very LONG time since i last participate in a soccer competition. The last time i did was the last year's Al-Falah futsal tournament which we ended up runner-up. That was a memorable feat because we managed to beat the JOGA BONITO champions in the semi-final stage in which we won 1-0, courtesy of my last-grasp goal. haha. hopefully i can repeat that tomorrow. insyaallah..

Before i end this, i wish to send my sincere gratitude to all my fellow malay dancers for putting their heart and soul into the performance. Its been a very nice experience to know every single one of you. Take care aite!

Selamtz.

One week break, that's just what i need.

Finally! it's term break. but i can't slack too much. i got Common Test once school reopens.

Hai.

Alot of things to do recently. The nearer the A's is coming, the more i feel unprepared.
Talking about A's, my seniors did well man! 98% of them are eligible for uni.

Isn't that impressive? =)

yeah, very impressive indeed. therefore, the school is expecting more from my batch. The pressure is on!

So far, i had alot of class tests, but im glad that i cleared my GP IRP test. That's crucial you see. Failed and you need to retain in JC1. Yar, i know. my english is BAD. Even now when you're reading this, im sure you've already spotted some language problems. Got so far? haha.

Aniway, PAE students had left already, and now new batch of students are coming in. and its a whole lot of them. they got 1060 students! Compared to my batch of 650, they are almost twice as much as us. Oh ya, about the soccer proposal thing, i don't think they are going to set up this year. Hai. What to do. They felt rugby is the more popular sport in PJC. Yelah tu.

My class is having an unbeaten run so far in soccer. Win 3 matches and draw 1. the draw we got was during the match against 06S26. We were leading 2-0. They came back to lead 2-5. But we fought back too, and the match ended with a 5-5 scoreline. Thrilling yet a tiring match. I scored 2 of the goals and assists the other 3. haha. =) nice. But our defending really need to buck up.

Talking about soccer, im getting worried now for Manutd. Larsson is going back to his hometown, Saha and Solsjaer are injured and only be back by the end of this month, Rooney not on form and Alan Smith is lacking in match fitness. I don't know how Alex Ferguson going to deal with this but i just hope Manutd will win the Premiership title this seaon. confident lah!

And and.. i just realized, Sport's Day is coming! It will be held on 18th April i guess. Shesh.. so fast! I can't wait to add new medals to my Hall of Fame. hahaha! ader2 je. hall of fame konon.


that's my collection so far. =) sejak zaman primary school seh collect-collect bende ni. haha.

Alright lah, back to studies. I've tonnes of work to do. I try to update as frequent as possible aite!

selamtz.


keep a lookout for me, thanks.

This is the Title

A very good morning to everyone! Its 4.17am. And yes, i don't know why in the blue world im still not asleep. Perhaps bcoz of the post-Kallang-Fever symptom. Or issit simply i have not tried sleeping late for quite some time.

Since the beginning of the year, my com has been infected by virus man! and tats explained why i rarely update this blog or chat. Frustrating it may be, but come to think of it, its actually a piece of good news.

Com infected by virus = lagging in the system = no mood to use the com = wont be online-ing that often = saves time for other better things

Can see? Its a blessing in disguise actually. And how ironic it can be when im actually blogging now to talk about this. kwahkwahkwah.

Injuries and more injuries has been piling up on me recently. Soccer.. Badminton.. MALAY DANCE even took a toll on me sometimes. Soccer well yeah on laz friday i had it in school and it was so much fun when u're against ur JC1s. We imagined ourselves as Team Singapore whereas the JC1s as the Malaysians. haha. crap! and yes we won all the matches. *erm*( no wonder S'pore win juz now) And yesterday's morning MCS camp cum soccer was also another one which i played. Captain's ball was a disgrace when i tripped and fell after hitting a girl's heel. hahaha! Tetapi dengan semangat yang kental lagik liat, aku sambung bermain. Badminton for PE on friday was tiring too since i kept smashing that freakin shuttlecock against Edwin, the self-proclaimed Ronald Susilo. the back-roll during the dance practice cause me to twist and landed awkwardly on my back. haha. again... another silly thing to concede. Being careful is one thing. Containing urself is another. Sometimes ppl tend to get too excited when the situation gets unpredictable yet potentially-interesting, like me. hahaha. yeah, i admit. Im sure ppl enjoy rising up to the occasions. On a sidetrack, like the Causeway-Combat match juz now, Singapore was more determined and motivated to win the game coz they were playin in front of their own fans. A nerve of steel and focus needed to take those heart-wrenching penalty kicks. Im sure those weak-hearted will faint on the way walkin to place the ball on the penalty spot. scary, seriously. i experienced that during my secondary school days and i can still remembered vividly that i was perspiring to the max. Everyone was counting on u to score and u knew the stakes are very high. One mistake can proved costly.

Back to the topic, i think i should calm down and be cool. chill, relax one corner but contribute things on the same time. In terms of soccer, i've done that. Critical passing is much cooler and dribbling. Unless ur name is Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, den better not do those fancy footworks. In terms of study, i've tried to do that but yet to be successful. perhaps exams is not here yet thats y i cant judge it for now. U can still be cool even if u're a studios freakos u noe that? haha.

Aniwae, school has been very good so far. im enjoyin life although GP remedials habe been spoiling my tues every week. I seriously need to pass that GP test man! God help me please. I really wan to take my A's tis yr, score well, go uni, take degree and fly off. yeah, i made it sound so easy. Really need to work hard man! Orite, i stop here. Its time for morning prayers. taking care. selamtz everyone!

When Terrorist Stikes..

2007. A New Beginning.

WELL. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 to EVERYONE!
im so late.

It has been some time since i last blogged. Im SO sorry because as you know, school has re-opened.
And being busy as always, i can't really blogged that frequent. Hai.

Nvm. That's not the point that im going to talk about today. What's more important is that i finally QUIT HOCKEY. Yes. im OUT.

After a year being a hockey player, i think its time for me to 'retire'. Its not that im not fit nor im not interested in sports, but simply, hockey is so much difficult to master. When you can't master the sports, you dread to go for the trainings. And everytime you go for the trainings, you feel its boring because you cant do anything much, especially dribbling. for those who know me well, I love to dribble regardless the sports; soccer, rugby etc. But when comes to hockey, i can't do anything much with the ball, except for stopping, BASIC dribbling, pass. That's all. After all, all these while, i hoped that through the trainings, i will improve on that, dribbling past one or more opponents like what i did in soccer. I get frustrated when things i expect to happen doesn't happen. Although i was VERY glad and excited when i was selected for the first team, playing as the CENTRE FORWARD, i can't help it when my techniques are still not up to my expectation. I do scored some vital goals and making nice runs down the flanks, so im not that bad actually, i presumed.

Being in 2 CCAs currently is also partly my reason why i quit. For the benefit of those who still don't know what's my other CCA, well, im telling you now, its Malay Dance(MCS). Its not that i was entirely forced, but it is a two ways thing, they forced me to join and on the same time, i agreed to it coz i feel i want to learn something new in my JC life. Being malay, i should know more-or-less some of my Malay traditional dance moves right? Its only for this year's SYF what.. no harm. its not that im going to be a malay dancer for the rest of my life. The important thing is, i will gain something beneficial from it. I hope so.

Thirdly, i was actually planning to join Soccer which, i hoped, it will set up soon. Im already doing the proposal and petition with some of my friends' help. But i got 3 problems; they may reject our proposal, JC2 might not able to join a new CCA, and we for sure might not able to play in this year's tournanment which will be held this April. So, yes, my chance to represent PJC Soccer is very very slim. One thing for sure, i just hoped that soccer will be set up, thats all. I will be more than happy to see that happening. Although if im not going to be part of it, i will still be glad to see the individual soccer talents among PJC students. And people start to recognise me, Sir Khairul Ruzaini, as the Founder of PJC Soccer. haha. okay. thats crap.

Aniway, apart from all those things, school has been quite a smooth sailing for me. Maybe because its still early and it havent reach the stress peak level. But i think im more disciplined now. haha. chey. nolah, its just that im more determined to do well this year. So, need to be more hardworking lah. hopefully, i can continue this attitude till the A levels, if better, for the rest of my life. haha. insyaallah.
Oh ya, J1s PJC students this year is quite promising you know? I mean, the girls. haha. nolah. im just trying to say that there are more pretty girls this time. BUT im sure, im not not going to tackle them or anything, coz simply, i don't have time to. If in any circumstances i got time, then, maybe. haha.

In conclusion, i think i got to go now. Roger Out.

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.
