trackback for 101106: mom got me a new pair of shoes. whayy! wikkid~

hmm. things have been great. great to be back & sure is glad that he’s back. he’s no doubt the one who keeps everyone together. the one who makes me have a reason to stay. things were bleak without him ’round. he’s back now to rebuild everything – confidence, trust and most of all, respect. he sure amazes me with the things he say & do. it’s no doubt that the bond we’ve as a team’s strong. though some might have left, we are always the team. well, guess it’s up to the few left to rebuild what was lost. gotta pass on what we do best & known for. iko-yo! we’ve lost our shine, gotta restore it. most of all, welcome back lil boy, great to have ya back!

grand master sudoku challenge ‘06

right. torn every muscle there is in my body after the ‘grand master sudoku challenge 2006′ finals which was on bout a day ago. can barely walk now but it sure is one hell ‘o an xperience. only managed to write bout it now, now that i finally settled down in my own seat. am one happy kid i can say for being able to be there at the event & be the first to take on the largest sudoku sheet in town. honored! didn’t know that it was going to be held that way, that the 3 finalists would solve the huge 19.33 ft by 19.33 ft sudoku sheet [ if i didn't misread the measurements on the certificate ] which was laid on inti’s basketball court. we were given charcoals to write with & a ladder to help us with the view. man, should’ve brought my binoculars.

right. course of events – hourly report
10:00am – setting up of the event – still!
11:00am – photograph session on the huge 19.33 ft by 19.33 ft sudoku sheet for the m’sian book of records before the elimination round begins. the event started off with ’bout 50 participants in which all were given a sudoku puzzle to complete. the fastest 3 to finish would compete in the finals to take on the sheet on the floor. this all went on till 1:00pm. i clocked in second at 5.48 minutes. the first clocked in at 5.20 minutes while the third at 5.58 minutes.
1:00pm – the grand finals begin with me takin on the sheet first. awesome! each of us were given 20 minutes though it should’ve been 30. the weather wasn’t very kind as it rains everyday at 2.
2:00pm – yes indeed it rained! just after the lad finishes his puzzle. everyone proceeded to lunch as we wait for the rain to stop so the last finalist could finish hers.
3:00pm – and so it begins – again.
4:00pm – prize givin & photo session with the press. i came second! w[][]t!
4:30pm – fin. and that’s a wrap. em people tore the sheet off the ground after strippin it into pieces with a blade. ouch!

event was sponsored by campbell’s and organized by myc – the malaysian college magazine. cheers to the team for makin it happen & a happenin one! ya’ve made a kid very happy! here’s for more to come – a toast!

- one of the banners standin guard. “hey you there, no runnin in the hall” and ohh, the puzzle on the banner cannot be solved -

small potato

w[][]t! friday! it’s over & out to saturday now. been wakin up feelin like i got hit by a truck. no xceptions this mornin. and i thought i could sleep in. a surprise awaits at half past evelen though. heh. spent most of the day in front of the computer, talkin to nii-san while he’s at work. fun~

hmm. this picture was meant for the previous post but it’s just been the word at the moment for me. a separate post it will be at. behold~

one potato, two potatoes…

one potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four…
five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, more…

right. hmm, reminds me of this joke i’d seen on the net a few years back.

three friends: a blonde, a brunette and a redhead were being chased by the police. lookin for a place to hide, they saw three potato sacks on the ground in which they each hid in one. when the police arrived, he figured that they may be hidin in the sacks so he gave each sack a kick. the first being the brunette mimicked the sound of a dog: “woof! woof!”. the redhead on the other hand went: “meow!”. the blonde? went: “po…ta…toes…”.

right. back to my books & hello november!

yesterday, today & tomorrow

hmm. loads happened these past few days. havin not connected to the net for the past weekend’s like a fish on land. posts would then be off since the mood’s no longer there as when things happened. been rather depressive [ oh hey! ] the past weekend but things have since cleared up. feelin motivated and high spirited although i should prolly get some sleep now as i’ve been crammin for my finance paper this afternoon since last night, all the way till i nter the hall. fuu. nerve-wreckin for i didn’t get much sleep though i was in bed.

anyway, i stopped my lessons. many a times the scene of me signin the papers kept playin last weekend. part of me said that i should’ve have though i’ve already decided beforehand. now i’m left without my weekly fix which i was already missin when i was on the set for my final lesson. one year of investment.

plans for my break’s already in motion. right on track. still think i should queue up for em ‘death note’ merchandises tomorrow mornin. ahh. got a paper to prepare for this thursday before i’m off for a short break and resume for my final paper on monday. things have been pretty well, the energy’s there. hope it’ll last. i want it to.

happy hell-o-ween y’all!

passion for percussions

saturday’s the day for it. though it’d become bleak with the passin of each week. passion for it have never died since i was in high school, just that at that time i couldn’t fend for myself for lessons till recently. the rate i’m payin for now’s ain’t that worth it for a half an hour class but hey, who am i to say since it’s the market rate after i scouted ’round. not much can be achieved in one hour’s time, leave alone half an hour.

then i was havin lessons on another instrument which lasted two hours per session per week, dreadful at times but most of all – fun. couldn’t play as well as some friends can despite all those years studyin it in which they just completed it within 3 years. imagine those fees paid then, time value of money, i’d lessons since i was 7. the more i think of it, the more i hate my instructor, she’s nothin but a con artist. taught me songs i already knew and seasonal songs which were repetitive over the years. cute, right but bs! and her main focus were always the xams.

maybe i was and still am not musically inclined at heart but i love music. maybe because of the system which has/had/still is screwed/screwin the equation. someone said this to me recently: “never say you’re not good at it, just say ya’d do ya best“. something along that line. it hit as an inspirational mark for a moment before my depression kills all. wonderful.  

most likely going into hiatus from my current lessons due to several reasons. one being the discouragement i get from my parents since 4 or so months ago. ahh. afraid that i’d never return for i’m one who does not look back [ at certain things ]. just like the pawns in a game of chess.

too much to handle recently. shall leave with a say i was told over tea just a few hours ago: “look up for inspiration, look down for consolation”. humans & psychology, intriguin. what’s a post without images? hmm. njoy!






down

hadn’t been a good day. though the weather had cleared with all the haze gone, i somehow been walkin ’round with a black cloud over my head. ahh. feelin very depressive. recuperatin in my small corner now. feelin slightly better.

the place i used to be at was no longer filled with warmth. how i miss those days. the people who created the nvironment were no longer there and how i wish for their return. sure is different without em. sometimes a spark’s all it takes to create a fire to brighten everything. that’s how those individuals were and always will be. seeing em once in a while’s heart warmin. they set the mood and sometimes give me hope. ahh. and just that time when i returned, one of em ignited something within me which i’ve not felt for so long, and he still does.

fuu.

ahh. how long have this not been dusted. though i hate dusts, i njoy collectin em. past week had been alright though i think  i could’ve done more. tired. the semester now continues, with finals comin forth, very soon, before ya could say ‘katchashiwabezatta’! gonna leave with a link that i was at the other day, y’all have a great day!
