This blog entry shall encompass a trilogy of stories which would evoke the senses.. It may contain elements of shock, excitement, happiness and perhaps even embarassment.. Basically i felt too lazy to do up a new entry for every moment in life lah.. So i just compress em like a Singapore Short Story book lidat.. =D
Chapter 1: "God must be smilin' upon me..."
Recently, a lot of good things have happened in my life.. not that nuttin thus far has been good, but it just felt like a barrage of greatness which fell my way!! Well, firstly, im blessed wif good health n happiness with the holidays just kicking into gear.. My family is in good health and we got several family outings planned as well!! Gonna be putting the new Gazebo tent to its first task of sheltering this head of mine!!
Secondly, the trip to Tioman went well, with a fantabulous overseas trip filled wif superb food, adventure and bringing back memories! There wasnt much mishap except for the expected 'goreng' by the locals with regards to the pricing and sell-buy stuff...
Thirdly, as most of u guys would haf known, Malay Sports Association members haf been colllectively collecting the New Paper dollars to bid for the various prizes up for grabs!!! And, for the second time in my life, i won sumthing in a competition!! (the first time was at a lucky draw during the Silat DnD when i won 2nd prize i think)
Well, we won the cruise onboard Superstar Virgo for 2nights to KL and Malacca worth a whopping $1020!!! well, u might be wondering how come onli win cruise for 2 but so many ppl help to collect the TNP bucks?? Well, here's where the brilliant undergraduates' minds come into play!! We are aiming to sell off the cruise much cheaper (since we got it for free in the first place) and use the money to rent a chalet complete wif bbq expenses covered!!!
This way, we transform a collective effort into enjoyable rewards for all!! =D smart right?? now we just need to find buyers for this cruise of a lifetime!! Seaview rooms, romantic getaway for 2, departing on Wednesdays only and at more than half price!!! What a fantabulous milestone in life!!
Chapter 2: "Newcastle United FC looking for a manager??"
Well, this year i started off a long tenure as the soccer convenor for the Alpha Division futsal team!!! It has been a few years since i managed a team and this was to be a trial run to gauge my abilities!! (mcm paham je Nan?) nyehehehe nonetheless, i couldnt show the team my confidence and prowess in the managerial abilities, or lack thereof!
Thus, everything was prepared, kalau nak kalah pon, kalah dgn gaya kan?? Got the team adidas white-black jerseys wif number prints.. cantik beb.. Such a pity i didnt get one for myself sebab budget wise ar.. hahaha this team also never played togede before and training was done away wif due to lack of time.. (actualli cos i went to Tioman jadi nobody oragnise) hahaha
Thus, Alpah United went into the tournament wif laughters and little expectations as the manager deemed it pivotal to take games one at a time and not place baseless standards for the young team.. Dun get me wrong, we comprised of young and well-balanced individuals wif wide ranging skill competency levels!! But then, other teams had their club n national players while we had one supremo on court.. =D
One by one, we took the games with a positive mentality.. while other teams were fretting over tactics and opponents' next move, we were simply taking the game in our stride and playing our own style.. Cos of my lack of tactical knowledge, i let the players craft their own gameplay cos they know best!!
Pejam celik pejam celik, kiter Champions lah beb!! Wif a 2-0 scoreline against PCG in the finals summore!!!
Well done lah guys!!
And we were the onli team in the top 4 wif Chinese players!!
Chapter 3: "Harrowing experience at Immigration"
Upon leaving Malaysia, i went upon the ritual of passing my bag thru immigration, Singapore side.. The rest of the Special 7 were thru and awaiting outside the sliding doors...
Then wif me n my cheeky face, cant wait to go home and meet my family after 3 days of sun, sand n sea, i walked thru the metal detectors.. no sound.. must be good news!! And must i mention i was wearing red t-shirt wif the words "this shirt if for fun" and i was the onli one amogst us who brought in chewing gum.. 4 packets of em! hehehehe
Once i passed thru the detectors, an immigration officer approached me and checked my bag..
"Shit..." was the onli words that came to mind.
Then these words came out of the officers mouth.. i swear..
"Please take off your shirt." I stood there stunned...
"What? my shirt?"
"Yup, your shirt" replied the officer.
Now this was starting to become sumting like ive seen in the videos. *winks* but never did i imagine it happening to me!! So i asked why lah.... and this was wad he replied..
"Becos ur shirt is just for fun wad.." wif a sleazy pakcik gatal smile on his face...
"Terkejot kan sikit tadi??"
And i laughed togede wif him..
.idiot.
Well the good thing was he laughed along and even turned a blind eye on my chewing gum.. hahaha
.Life's great.
