VOLLEYBALL COMPETITION IS BACK ON!
*Squeals*
Wow, seriously this is the first time that I'm SO enthusiastic for sports.
Okay lah, I love all sorts of sports, but this year is the first time that I'm serious 'bout playing something.
Running... Doesn't count, right?
'Coz it's a solo sport.
Netball... Ugghh.
I had no choice when I played it last time.
But volleyball.
Volleyball is something that I can learn from scratch and get better at it.
It's not only physically challenging, but also mentally challenging (Hours of keeping at the same training... Can 'pek cek' ar!)
And hey, I love challenges.
*Grins*
So anyway, the inter-school competition is back on and if ACS can come out with a school team this year, that'll be really great!
(Just have to train... Like, mad hard)
Also...
I'm still waiting for my damned foot to heal from the dislocation.
Can't run or jump much now.
WARGGHH~!
Mad frus lor.
Plot Outline:
During the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of China possessed one weapon greater than all others, the Imperial Guards, an elite force of assassins recruited from street orphans. Trained in clandestine combat from childhood, the Imperial Guards were masters of the 14 Blades, eight being for torture, five for killing, and the last blade being reserved for suicide when a mission failed. Above the law, with a license to kill, the Imperial Guards devoted their lives and lethal prowess to the service of the Emperor alone.
When the Imperial Court is taken over by evil eunuch Jia, the best of the Imperial Guards, Green Dragon and Xuanwu, are assigned to steal a list identifying those still loyal to the Emperor. However unbeknownst to Green Dragon, the Imperial Guards have fallen under the control of Jia, and during the mission Green Dragon (Qing Long) is betrayed by Xuanwu and barely escapes with his life. Now as the most wanted man in the land Green Dragon must seek out and rally the loyalists to rise against Jia and restore the Emperor to power. In his way are the deadliest assassins in the land, his former brethren, the Imperial Guards.

If you haven't and are planning to watch
14 Blades, chances are that you'll be eternally grateful to me for providing you with the plot beforehand.
Because, honestly, you won't be able to understand the story when you're watching it.
At least I didn't, anyway.
Just got back from the cinema after watching the movie with my usual gang.
Our general verdict?
A waste of perfectly good, new RM10 notes.
(Hey, that cash was hard-earned through CNY bai nian-ing okay!)
Anyways, all the show's full of is action sequences and killing scenes.
Well, can't deny that the action scenes are really good (Especially with all the flying here and there!) because of the amazingly choreographed fighting acts and impressive cinematography, but take those away and you're left with...
A desert full of sand.
Seriously.
Plus, the camera flies all over really fast, too, so that sometimes all you can see is just flashes here and bright lights there.
Like the cameraman took extra portion of RedBull that filming day.
The only thing commendable about the movie is its cast.
The guys (
Donnie Yen,
Wu Chun), for example, are toned, good-looking, toned, bronzed, toned, tanned, look damn good, toned and oh, did I mention toned?
Wu Chun - as the Judge of the Sands - is especially drool-worthy.
Too bad he didn't take any main roles.
Entered the show late, died early.
Ishhh~
Check out the washboard abs!
The girls, on the other hand, either turned out to be vicious whip-wielding assassins
or "I'll obey whatever you say, no matter whether it's a lie, or it isn't a lie,"
(
Zhao Wei, playing Qiao Hua, seriously had that line in her script
lor!)
Oh well, watching the movie, while being a waste of cash, at least gave me an excuse to get out of my over-stuffy house this Chinese New Year.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get a tissue to wipe away the drool-y mess I made on my table.
So.
Finally.
It's here.
Can't decide whether to cheer or emo or give no reaction.
Hurm hurm.
Valentines Day:
- No boyfie.
- No hangout with single buddies.
- No lovey-dovey mood.
Chinese New Year:
- No relatives coming home.
- No spring-cleaning/decorating the house.
- No beer/gambling/firecrackers and etc.
No syok-ness lah, this year's celebrations.
Like totally normal week nya.
*Rolls eyes*
But still...
-[DeViL]-x|aor|n would like to wish all readers a Happy CNY and a sweet sweet Valentines Day!
Enjoy your week!
But since when have I ever denied THAT fact, eh?
=B
Really lah, though, I feel so lazy to update my blog this week.
Ugghh~
Ya'll must hate me for this.
><
Ermms...
So, I dislocated my ankle on Monday.
=)
Let me give you some advice, by the way:
If you can help it, NEVER EVER EVER NEVER dislocate a bone/joint/limb/*insert preferred body part here* because it HURTS like nobody's business.
Actually lah, the part that hurts the most is when you have to go to the doctor to get the dislocation twisted back lah, BUT STILL!
Those agonizing moments of pure pain is enough, okay!
Anyways, I've been hobbling all over since Tuesday morning.
I'm just able to put my foot flat on the ground today lo.
Can't wait for it to get well.
I wanna resume my volleyball!
T^T
Mad mad mad LAZY this week.
Been putting off so many things I need to do.
Rawr~
P.S.
Ishh~!
Finally!
Another weekend to enjoy.
=)
Y'know what?
Being in 5S3 isn't so bad.
The best thing 'bout it is that class sure knows how to have fun!
At least I'm guaranteed laughs everyday.
Stupidest incident of the day:
There was this lady who came into our classroom after recess.
She was selling stuff and asking for donations.
For some charity thingy lah.
So she was selling this twin teddy bears soft toys, kinda looked like this:
And our Add. Maths teacher was like, "Come lah, buy for Valentine's Day,"
Which is when my friend, Alex, pulled a pained expression and gripped his heart.
He's always so totally full of crap that I just stared at him.
You know what he said?
"But I'm still single!"
Then when the lady finished her 'business', she went out to go to other classes.
Alex again:
"You may be deaf and you may be mute, but you just broke my heart..."
Then I did the dumbest thing ever.
I laughed.
Not the 'heheheh' giggly laugh.
The 'BWAHAHAHAHA' kind of laugh.
And that's when I got scolded kao kao by the teacher.
"If it's a private joke, please laugh silently to yourself,"
Wah, cold man!
Okay lah, damn lame lah, but at that time it was funny lor!
Anyway, who still doesn't know that Valentine's and Chinese New Year is on the same day huh?
If you don't know, let me tell you lah:
VALENTINE'S DAY AND CHINESE NEW YEAR FALLS ON THE SAME DAY THIS YEAR!
There, now you know.
So, should you be spending February 14th with your family or your GF/BF??
MH and AhVen are heading off to Indonesia tomorrow.
They'll be going to Proskuneo School of Prayer and Worship.
Honestly?
I just know I'll really miss 'em.
I mean, hey, they're two of my closest buddies.
(Or were, anyway. But that's beside the point)
They were a great part of my life, as well as contributors to who I am today.
Although they'll only be gone for two months, but it still feels like a long while.
My stomach gives a funny little lurch every time I think of that fact.
Anyway, they'll always be in my prayers.
Every night, without fail.
I promise.
Guys, may God grant you journey mercies and may He reveal His plans for you there.
God Bless You.
Take care of each other, okay?
=')
I thought we were friends,
I thought this trust would never end;
I thought I could count on you,
Because I wanted you to understand
That you could count on me too.
We used to be so close,
It used to be me, you - Us.
But then something changed,
We drifted apart, and
Were never ever the same.
When I think of you,
I think of the days that have passed;
Our carefree days,
No worries, no demands, no fuss.
So many memories we've shared;
You were the very first person
Who showed me that he cared.
But believe me when I say,
You weren't the only one who was that way.
But then we grew up - You and I,
And we went our own separate ways.
No longer did we stay so close,
Nor talk together every day.
A time has passed and I,
I still hold you dear;
Sometimes I miss you loads,
However, I really fear,
That it is already too late
Too late to return to the past.
I will miss you,
My Best Friend.
★`·..·´★`·..·´★`·..·´★`·..·´★`·..·´★`·..·´★
Crude, I know.
I made it up right here and now, though.
=)
Well, everything changes when one finds another half.
I know it did for me.
So I can't be selfish and self-centred.
It's time to let go of the past and wait for the future.
I won't ever forget Us.
No matter what, you were still a great part of my life.
Thank You.
I fell during volleyball practice last week.
I was running and slid forward head-first when my body went faster than my feet.
So I've got massive injuries on my elbow, waist and knee.
And that's the reason why I've been hobbling one-sided-ly around school and have been unable to participate in the Sukantara.
Volleyball accident, okay?
I did NOT crash my motor!
'Coz that's what everyone seems to think when they see my injuries.
"Langgar motor ah?"
Whaaaaat lah.
Anyway, it hurts like dickens.
(Okay, what's 'dickens'? I just scammed the word out from a book! Sounds dirty, though)
And I can't walk straight.
Or lie straight.
Or sit straight.
Or do anything straight, for that matter.
I know I look weird, too, riding my m-bike while leaning towards my right side.
Left side's the injured side, see.
Mad painful, okay?
Just biding my time till I heal up, then I wanna continue my sports training.
Final year of school, gotta scrimp for all the kokurikulum marks I can!
My latest ❤!
Time flies.
Seriously.
I mean, it seems like just yesterday that I started the first day of Form 5.
Now I'm finishing the second week of school already.
What happened to the two weeks in between, huh?
And it seems like only yesterday that I was in class 5S2, and now I've just survived the week in 5S3.
Confused?
Too bad You should be.
So...
Let's rewind a little, back to the 2009 Form 4 year-end exams, shall we?
I did work for the exam, I did study, but just didn't do as well as I'd hoped...
I ended up dropping to the second class, Science 2.
First time in my five years of secondary school I dropped to second class lor.
But wasn't too bad lah, I could get myself used to it.
Then, on the second Monday of school, during assembly...
The killer news hit, brought about by our oh-so-fantastically-great-principal (NOT!) Dr. something-something-something-something (I'm not stupid enough to mention the name!), AMN.
(Yes, must NOT forget the 'AMN' title! It's like a datuk-ship or whatever)
"All those who want to drop Prinsip Perakaunan for their SPM will move to 5 Science 3, effective from today, because I have had ENOUGH of parents coming to make ridiculous demands for their children to drop subjects for SPM..."
And I lost her right after that, because my mind had turned into a swirling, pitch-black whirlpool swamp puddle mess.
Thoughts like, "What...", "Drop to S3?!", and "Oh no..." kept floating around the mess up there.
But to make a long, frustrating story short, I had no choice but to move down to the third class because I really don't wanna take Prinsip Perakaunan for SPM.
I really, really, really suck at the subject, by the way.
Anyway, I've made it through these two crazy weeks, as you can see.
My following days are gonna be spent in 5S3, trying not to go mad...
You see, 5S3 has this 'rep' every year.
Without fail, there'll be many discipline cases that come out from that class.
Many teachers will complain, discipline masters will frequently visit and any teacher coming into the class usually has a perpetual sneer/disgusted/bored look.
Damn them Unfair, right?
After all, we're still the third best class in the Pure Sciences stream, meaning the third best class in the whole Form 5.
But yet, people still look down on S3 students.
"If you're from S3, high chances that you're some kind of delinquent,"
Oh, well.
Can't deny that fact 100%, myself.
=P
Just gonna make the best of my time there; do the best I can.
Waiting for my freedom.
So.
School's begun.
For 'bout a week now.
And I haven't been sent to the discipline master's office.
Yet.
=D
Aaaaaanyways, I discovered something interesting...
