23rd Aug Training
Two weeks absent from training due to exams. Now back in the game.
Found that knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things. Still having my marker down at the wrong time at the wrong place. Be aware of the field and ever ready to shoot!! As someone used to say, have to set it into the unconscious mind... have to go back to the good old visualization technique.
New member joined today, did 1 on 2 with us against Mr Captain. Aiyo, lost 2 games out of 3 games, if tournament like that sure bo bin, after game won't take off mask liao don't show my face...
And then it's off to endurance training, running to and fro across the field until my legs got muscle cramp, even have to carry someone close to 70kg and run (FYI, i'm below 60kg).
Hope the cramps won't come back when i'm working 2moro...

A Song For My Friend
"The One Man Band"
Thanks to the inspiration and encouragement from my dear friend Adele, i've successfully recorded my first song... woohoo!!
Well actually it's not written by me, but who cares, i sang and played it!!
This afternoon so sien nothing to do, so took my laptop into my studio aka bedroom to record a simple guitar melody for her. Sitting there looking for a programme to record, i stumbled upon this mixer thing in my laptop, which i didn't even know was there.
So after playing the guitar part, the musician inside me got more adventurous and added vocals, but then still bo kam buan want to do some percussion. Eventually one thing let to another, and it ended up with vocals, guitar, piano, drums, background vocals...... And it actually sounds great!
Adele, don't forget you owe me your song...

Downpour mayhem
"Rained like cats and dogs and rats and donkeys and ducks and chickens and......"
Was in college for a meeting. Half-way through, it started to rain. Being a new building, the new campus should hold up pretty well against the elements, but guess what, it leaks. We were sitting there and the water was dripping beside us. And then the fire-alarm suddenly went off and the lifts were all shut down. Some thundering must have set it off. The guards and lecturers were all like, what's going on what's going on, running up and down here and there. Saw SMS running down from his office in a panicky manner. Iwas sitting at the 'cyber cafe' (don't know what that place is called) waiting for the rain to stop and watching the little commotion.
On the drive back home, met with a flood on a section of the road. Everyone was turning back looking for an alternate route. I thought the water can't be that deep, so i was like the only one to drive on. In the end, water gushed into the passenger side floor. Don't know why, but i stepped on the accelerator even more. Felt like sitting in a motor boat with waves riding up so high on both sides of the car...
Later found out that my father was met with the same situation, but he slowed down instead of gaining speed, ended up having water going in through the exhaust and engine died, had to walk all the way back home. Was glad i followed my instinct to step on the accelerator and do the motor boat effect... hehehe.
Didn't get to take any pics of the flood, was busy maneuvering my boat.

Post-Exam!!
Woohoo... It's now post-exam season!! In fact, it's post-1st year season!! Woohoo again!!
The day b4 the last paper, went to bed at 3am, was studying about frequency response and filter. But in the exam only one or two questions were asked about that topic...swt. But with the lack of sleep, after the exam still has so much energy to go around here and there, wonder why i don't have that kind of energy pre-exam, hmm...
Right after the paper went for Kenny Roger's!! Even though Kenny Roger's is all about the chicken, the most memorable thing for me is the banana muffin. MmmMmm, hard on the crust, soft on the inside...
After getting so kenyang from the chicken, went to get my elbow pads. Initially was going to get some cheap ones, but all the sizes can't fit me except Dye's, plus they offered me a great price. So now i'm a proud owner of a pair of Dye Core 2008 Elbow Pads, the ones used by Ollie Lang and gang!!
And at night went to mamak with jack and kok and shir until 11. Funny how studying for exams can easily doze off, even with 8 hours of sleep, and now post-exam with little sleep still not so sleepy...
My 1st year in inti has ended, and it's time for the 2nd year. No more fooling around liao, no more last minute revision liao. Got to study hard, and play harder (with my new pads...literally)!
