I injured myself in the freakiest way in my life so far late last nite (had some matches on last nite, 10.30pm, till the early morn, 1am).

It happened at the beginning of the 2nd game (we lost the 1st game, btw). Hong Leong sent passed the basketball to me, but he misjudged his pass. The ball was already going out but I wanted to prevent it 4rom landing into the drain (due to some weird planning of the basketball court's layout, the drain was just 50cm away 4rom the end of the bball court that we were playing on).

Back to the story. I managed to parry the ball away 4rom the direction of the drain, but I slipped and fell coz I was running on a wet patch (it rained in the eve)...I landed on the region where the butt meets the backbone...went sliding on my back...nearly busted my groin on one of the railing's poles (There is a railing near the drain and my legs were open)...but I managed to stop myself 4rom slamming my groin into the pole and sliding into the drain in time. If there had been no railing's pole for me to grab on, I would've ended up in the drain with possibly a broken leg as well. -_-"

That fall stunned and paralysed me for a while though. I couldn't get up or move for a while, so I had to lie there for a while. After that, I picked myself up to walk back 2wards the court but the pain came again and I had to lie down on my back again on the court for a good 5 mins.

I continued to finish the game with pain and my team won so it wasn't too bad =p I had to sit out of the final game though, but we also won it.

Come to think of it, I have nearly busted my groin b4 in futsal too. I was bearing down on the opponent's D, when I slipped to avoid the onrushing goalkeeper and went sliding towards one of the goalposts. I managed too stop myself 4rom crashing into it with legs wide open. Talk about deja' vu'.

All I had to show 4rom y'day's matches were a muddied side of my jersey and shorts, and a painful bruise on where I landed which is currently preventing me 4rom playing, but hopefully I will recover b4 the next match(es) >.<

My mum's advice to me when I become a husband:

• No excessive drinking
• No womanising
• No gambling

-_-" wad r u trying to tell me, mum? R u advising me not to be like Uncle ***** and Uncle *****? Uncle ***** is my Mum's former RCIA mate's husband. Uncle ***** is one of my cousin sis' ex-husband.

One more thing, I was speaking to a girl <SPACE> friend the other day. She said that all guys r to be blamed? WTH? Wad kinda mentality is that?

I m so in love with myself.........................

MUACKS!!!!

HUGS!!!!

SMILE!!!!

The way Arsenal played against y'day was totally like the title of this post. I m not disappointed by the defeat...I m disappointed by the way Arsenal passed the ball and how they defended. Arsenal will have to buck up if they r to mount and sustain a strong challenge to win the EPL.

Now for some VERY short, pointy posts:

• All the best to u, Sherly for ur test/exam/i dunno wad u called it, 2day. Dun worry and fear so much! =)
• I'll be in JB and S'pore 4rom the 20th to the 25th of this month.
• Must register for next sem's classes next mon.
• Prolly having lunch and ice-skating with Anne and her nephew and niece 2moro.
• Starting band practice soon.

All this yrs I had known that I only had 1 bro in the world. Wad I didn't know until earlier this yr was that I actually had another sibling. A sibling who did not have a chance for me to be his/her bro. A sibling who was lost as a result to a miscarriage when I was 2+

It was yesterday that this was revealed to my bro. That's wad made me have this post after some thinking y'day.

If this sibling had not been lost, I wouldn't be having my bro now, coz my parents had said they only wanted 2 kids.

I was thinking about a lot of stuff about this b4 going to bed last nite.

As u all know, the age gap between me and my bro is 8 yrs. With such a big age gap, we have nvr been as close as how brothers should be. There's a lot of stuff I can't do with him. There's stuff I cannot share with him. And vice-versa.

If that sibling had made it, I m pretty sure that my life would have been very diffr since there would have been an age gap of 3 yrs. *In this post, I m NOT BLAMING my parents, God or anyone.*

If it had been a brother:

• We would have fought A LOT
• We would have played sports 2gether
• We would have been able to share stuff with one another
• Share my car with him =( hahahaha

Basically, we could have done brotherly stuff that I can't do with my bro.

If it had been a sister (and I have always wanted a sister):

• I would have that chance to give her brotherly protection
• Get to know her frens =p
• Learn stuff 4rom her
• I would not need to do housework =p
• Share my car with her =( hahaha

Basically, we could have done stuff that bros and sisters do for one another.

However, based on the current family financial situation, having 2 kids with such a small age gap would've been not so good. Imagine supporting 2 college going kids.

Just like the title says...I have lots to say.

Firstly, I had a great lunch at Aunty Anne George's 2day. She's a great colleaugue and fren of my father. I enjoyed the food and enjoyed playing with Snowy, her lab-spitz mix (dog).

Secondly, 2day's game was great. It was my 1st game after suffering an excruciating injury. I would say that i was back to my best...and m being myself (RHAPtor). The highlight of 2day's game would be the fierce 3 pointer that I scored. It all started when I intercepted a pass in the circle, ran out of it with the ball, and turned to release a fierce shot which crashed into hoop's hole. It was a great game 2day. 98% of all my shots were in.

Thirdly, we went to KLCC on Thurs morn coz my father had reserved a book at Kinokuniya. We went to MV in the afternoon bcoz we 4got that Robinson's is in The Gardens...not MV. We had lunch and walked around MV. We bought some stuff....Dad got his book...Bro got his miniature Ferrari and a dinosaur model...I got a dinosaur model, and a new water dish for Hinata.

Finally, since 2007 is drawing to a close soon, I will list out the high's and low's of my year (2007).

High's (so far/as far as i can remember)

• Turning 21

• Winning the bronze medal with the CKK football team
• Getting a new car
• Being the youngest in my coll asgnt grp

• SCORING the wonder goal in futsal. WOOTS!!!

• Discovering that I m part S'porean

Low's (so far/as long as I can remember)

• Losing some frens to other countries. LOL

• Losing my sharpness in basketball for about 2/3rds of the year.
• My past came back to haunt me

• Orochimaru (pet fire belly newt) and Ginny (pet guinea pig) died
• Discovering that I m part S'porean.

Yeah!!!! I finally c u! I hope repair and update work is finished for blogdrive.

I m back 4rom injuries too! I will b playing after missing the last 2 weeks games.

During my time out with injury, I've come up with a game name. I dunno if u can call it a game name. It's a name that I will use to call myself and allow ppl to call me during matches.

I m....

RHAPtor

R-rhythm H-height A-agility P-pace

I got the inspiration 4rom the dino velociraptor. U know, the small light and fast dinos with a curved claw on each foot. They attack and cling on to their prey with their special claws. U can see them in Jurassic Park.

*pict retrieved 4rom www.viney.com

The reason I chose that dino?

1. Pace is my obsession
2. Height is my natural self
3. Agility is my edge
4. Rhythm is the part of the game I like to dictate
5. I do not give my marked opponent space.
6. I can be aggressive.

Might not make sense to some of u...

The world is not so safe anymore. That includes my area too.

If u had read 2day's and y'day's papers, u would have known that a 20 yr old woman was abducted and gang-raped later. She stays in USJ6...MY AREA. She was taken away when she got out of her car.

My mum and bro also had a close shave with some strangers just now. They were walking to the park when a motorbike with 2 ppl sudddenly stopped in front of them. They stared at my mum and bro 4 a while b4 leaving.

Now, this happened at the side lane beside my house. It is a straight stretch of about 300m. This lane is particularly dark at night and there have been cases of ppl getting robbed or having their bags snatched here.

To go to my workplace and to return home 4rom it, I have to use this lane. Sigh. I m always careful when I walk back late at night. I will actually break into a run 4rom where the lane starts 4rom the main road right up till I reach my gate. Starting 4rom 2day onwards I m going to arm myself with my ninjaken and a baseball bat and a prayer when I go to work. I'll have to be more alert too of course. I'll also have to be sharp in my taekwondo.

I currently arm myself when i go for my youth meetings bcoz I m home at 1am at the earliest on a sat morn.

All of us slept well, even though 55% of us slept at 2.30am and got up at 8am. The night was not as windy as our very 1st night, but it was still cool nevertheless.

We started the day with a mass. Fr O.C came down 4rom PD to say mass at 8.30am. We had a very good mass 4llowed by b'fast after that.

After b'fast, we had Christine's session. Her session was about how to be happy and not worry. It was a very interactive session. It was also a session where I din have to lead any grp bcoz I was assigned to take photographs.

Christine's session was 4llowed up with lunch. Lunch was not bad. The food was a lil bit too salty though. We had fish, chicken and veggies for lunch. There was chicken in diffr styles in every meal, btw. I m so fed up of chicken now.

After lunch, we had Jack's session. His session was on sin, repentance and 4giveness. It was pop quiz style.

After, Jack's session, we only had 10 mins to pack up and clean up b4 leaving. It was a good thing that Rebecca and I had already loaded my car with 80% of our luggage earlier in the morning. Surprisingly, the post confs only took 5 mins max to clean up the place nicely and pack up their stuff.

The journey home was much more smoother and shorter. We also stopped once after the Serdang toll for GG and Char to pump petrol while the rest of us got down to buy drinks and snacks. I bought a cola to keep me alert (caffeine mah). All of us disembarked at the GYM in church. I only stopped long enuff for rebecca to get down and take her luggage and to let Charles load his luggage and get into my car.
