conversations with the wall

Well it seems like the end of the road for university/college/school life, and now we step into the great unknown called...



adulthood 0__0;;






.....





I'd try to make the post a little more dramatic, more intellectual, more thought inspiring, but i reckon i'd fail miserably..






i don't know what to say,






then again, what do you have to say, to the wall.





I guess the purpose of my post is a shout into the world that i'm still here, still alive, still kickin (okay, mayb not kicking so well) I don't think i'm the type that posts what i feel, what i think here (but saying that had just proves otherwise didn't it ? =/ )





I'd rather share my thoughts in person.







So why not take a walk with me ? =)






one shudders at the thought of dragging the wall around with you for a walk...

For my sis who wants to see my nerd-sih *cough* you mean intelligent glasses look.



You can't say "nerd" at the 3 intelligent and good looking young men at Cambridge. Of the 3 only 2 is really intelligent tho, 1 merely "looks" intelligent >__<

but like this wise man said.

"Judge every book not by the cover, but by the sypnosis/summary/description written AT THE BACK of the book. " - Jonathan Ong Chin Yue, 2009



If you think this looks somewhat familiar, maybe you'll have to refer to below: (scroll down)




























































Remember, behind every great man there is a lazy useless almost lifeless but yet you still love him anyway dog as their best friend.

Maybe Mason was busy pondering about Life, the Universe and Everything... the cosmos in it's entirety, while mocking humankind's inability to comprehend him and mocks them by barking at them at every opportunity, rolling around and spinning on his butt. Or perhaps it could be an elaborate food dance as a ritual to thank the Gods for the providence of his daily meal.

We finite humanbeings can only speculate...

An update of sorts

Heya folks, just taking some time off (actually took alot of time off to play more like it =P ) for a little update.

exams around the corner, finally i'm able to click into gear (1st gear tho but hey it's a start! ^^; )

during the course of the Easter break i have not cooked at all until couple of days back...




Black pepper chicken with chips and stir fried vege and rice and ...*breathes* .... thats it.



Since i have nothing other than the ingredients for what i've cooked the day before, i made virtually the same thing again the next day. Maybe thats the reason i fell ill.. (perhaps i was a bit too overzealous with the extra black pepper i poured into it on top of the black pepper sauce)

Ps: Arsenal lost 0-1 to Man Utd =( , but thats NOT the reason why i fell sick okayyy =P or could it ?

then the Lord provideth, when all hope since lost when i have no medication (i can't remember where all the paracetamol went =/ ) was already in bed when Zil rang me up on the phone because i msged him on msn before i went to bed. Thankfully he had some medication. God had thought of me, even for the little things.. (well mayb not so little if it was swine flu =P )

Today i woke up knackered and missed all my classes, but i was well by midday , alive and kicking! until evening-ish when i felt dizzy and crashed into bed for another short nap. But still managed to make a gym session later =D

Am much better now, but it's the little things in life we take so much for granted that makes me thank God for. Until this:



I never thought i'd see this day.

cut me some slack, i'm no genius =P (this is directed to the very intelligent, very smart ppl, very disicplined ppl. one of which residing in Cambridge and another in Nottingham XD ) So to get something like this is very very surprising and by the looks of it, in very good timing as well as i look to prepare for the exams.

So from the dark lonely sick night God assured me of His presence and provided me what i needed and took me through the night into the dawn of hope and to be able to enjoy His goodness and grace.

To God be the Glory indeed. =)

Spring...








I apologise for the long gap devoid of jon jon news. Spring is here and finally i've awoken from my slumber. It was a cold harsh winter, and food was scarce, the rabbits had to dig deep into their burrows and engage in other productive, productive activity.


My milo rations were running low, I had no choice but to go into deep slumber to conserve energy.



anyways,



My phone rang.




It was the police.


They found my bag!




Great.




So i went to pick it up only to find:







The bugger bleached it!




Actually... thats not a bad colour... whatever that is...


In other news, in quick summary (i have to dive back into work)


1) I'm getting short-sighted, and getting an eye test tomorrow... Doctor says i should stop starring things such as blank space, the sun, jupiter, pluto, planet X, the bird perched on the top of petronas twin towers, bacteria, atoms, ions, and so on.. Gee that explains alot now.


2) ...



uh...


mayb the fact im forgetting things as i forgot what i was supposed to write for no.2...


mayb next time then...

*Gasp*

....


i need a moment to catch my breath.



What a week, assignments, meetings, work, practice, football .. I was trying to juggle it all walking towards the banana peel of deatttthhhhhhhh.

Then I slipped,




then there was chaos.




Then everything fell into place.




Nice.





Football was great on wednesday. We were up against the team we played last season which we after fighting hard to get back at 2-1, managed to throw away the game at 3-7. This time, we knew better.


So we threw away the game 1st.


End of 1st half, 2-0 down, could have been more, could have been embaressing if the header back to the keeper (which ended up lobbing him) went in for own goal. (would have been funny tho) As usual we were all over the place squabbling during the halftime break.

I came in at 2nd half, playing DM sitting in front of the back four. I wonder what you guys would have reckoned about me in DM lol. Well, what they say about the english game.. well.. it's intense all right, i've never played 35mins of football and felt like it was 90mins plus extra time.

Then the other team figured that they'll return the favour from last season and let in 2 easy goals... like EASY... like... freekick.. keeper got to the grounder... fumbled, ball bobbled into the net... 2nd goal... repeat steps 1 and 2 from open play. Then we went for it... a good cross into the box right into the striker's fore head.. headed in down through the midde just under the crossbar. It was like Arsenal v Man Utd 2-1 at Emirates couple of seasons back with henry scoring the header from an eboue cross. What a moment.

Then it was real hard work, the 10 minutes left felt like forever as they threw everything and the kitchen sink at us. Finally the final whistle after a days hard work, my legs were still trembling.

Wow victory never felt sweeter after all the effort. What a comeback, still it shows the amount of work that needs to be done for the team. Despite the win, we were still generally a mess as a unit, lack threat going forward and then get hit by a simple counter attack from a ball over the top. I think most of the time, individual attributes got us points more than anything last season. This season's 1st game would have had us losing the game again but something was different, more people were prepared to work hard and get stuck in, and there was more team effort, sure we're still some way off, but at least it's a good sign of whatever little progress we can find. I'd take it!

Next up... the team that finished 2nd place last season only missing out at the final league game of the season. We lost to them 5-1, lets see what we can do for that game now.. Come on Diamonds!

Oh btw, my team is Rough Diamonds (*cough* don't ask =P). You can check our league table, fixtures etc on fixtureslive.com

click on leagues/cups under football and then click on "University of Hertfordshire Intra Mural Football" under the student section, then click on "2009" then you'll see the table and the last match day results.

Official kits, merchandise out soon!





well not really.




Feels good to have football again. And i'm glad you talked me out of quitting zil, cheers.

Hon Chien the SnowBringer of Deathhhhh

As soon as i saw him, i saw dark clouds looming over the sky. Thunder and lightning followed before he spoke:


"Bow to me and Hatfield will be spared of this great plague!"



Trembling, i contemplated the consequences of my following actions.





The Great Equation (From a Marketeers Perspective):
Great plague = Tons of snow + snow fight + snow man + fun + no classes + more fun


So i said:



"No , but i will take your luggage for you instead and you get to bunk in with me for the next couple of days."

He roared , shaking the earth around us raised his arms and said:




"Ok fair enough, take that bag. Make sure you have hot chocolates and broadband internet. I'm still bringing the great plague upon Hatfield though."


*shrugs* "Ok, whatever you say boss."




So despite my best efforts to stop the great evil, my valiant efforts were in vain as immediately snow began to fall, and it came throughout all the day and the night and the day after...


and there was screams of terror, gnashing of teeth, heads were rolling...







... due to snow fights of course! =D



Pictures and videos to be found HERE (As im too laz-*cough* busy to put them all up on the blog, I had to attend to the great SnowBringer of death)

while you were gone...

So i went out the last couple of days, indulged in alot of good food... so nothing really prepare me for this when i came back...






Seems Mr Snow man was quite busy himself... at this rate, we'll see them breed faster than the rabbits of Hatfield...
