xmas is here! time passes bloody fast.

I was so surprise when i saw the rabbit mascot in channel 8 new year celebration advertisement. Rabbit year means that I will be 24 next year. 24~~~~ sometimes i really wish time can slow down so that we wont get old that fast. When i look at my grandparents, i always visualize in my mind how they transform from baby form to the stage now, 岁月不饶人啊。。。

Just came back from genting, a preview of korea weather. Of course korea is maybe 5 to 10 times colder, what a nightmare. Went to casino for some mindsports too and learn that if you want to win in casino, you must learn to leave that evil place once you win a little. Well, not easy to do so cause human is always greedy.

3 countries match is also over. I have helped out in so many go event but this one is 1 super duper tiring event. I have to admit that at some point of time i was feeling quite pissed. When you need help you cant force helper to do cause they are volunteer and you cant ask player to do cause they will look at you with the "hello, i am a player leh" face. Some of them even think i am paid to do all the stuff. Well, good thing is that everything is settled. Hope that more young people can help out in swa when i am studying in the war zone.

My sis told me about Vangelia Gushterova. She predicts about world war 3.

http://sg.theasianparent.com/articles/vangelia-gushterova-predicts-world-war-3

I really hope she is wrong.

Why cant human learn from their lesson from the past wars? Haven't the human race suffer enough? We seem to be the only kind on earth to kill each other.

sad.

Muhahahahahh!!!! Is this like her strategy to distract her opponent in Asian Games?

My sis was on air yesterday with peifen and they were suppose to give out free Chronicles of Narnia movie ticket to anyone who has the best answer to a question. The question is if you can travel into the scenes of Narnia, who will you bring along? So ppl start sending in sms and the winner is the one who said she will bring guan ying ma along, haha.

But thats not the main point.... so my sis started saying that some other ans are not bad too and she list a few example and said that this person who choose IP man because in the sms it wrote WO YAO DA SHI GE. People who watch IP man obviously know it meant 我要打十个... but instead she said 我要大师哥!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......

Was able to watch harry potter gala premiere on tuesday in The Cathay thanks to my sister. The show was not bad, but some talking part was kind of draggy. If i am going korea, i will have to watch part 2 there next year. Good thing is that in Korea, the movie remains in english and with korean subtitles, I cant imagine harry or ron say "an nyong ha sae yo".

Went to CSI exibition with wen jen and xing wei. OMG, seriously the 20 bucks is so not worth it!!! Dont waste money and time there. The 2 of them was going to eat me up when we finish the exhibition, muhahahaha.

Last week 2 korean pros came to sg to play teaching game and I bought them to sentosa to HUAT. After the 3 days of entertaining them i think i should start studying korean language because if is not for ms cho, we will have a hard time communicating. During the last day, we went to a coffee shop near bishan clubhouse to chill and talk cock. For some reason during the talk, I ask what is chinese weiqi style and Mr Kim told us about the komi theory he has came up with and his theory was even publish in the korean weiqi magazine.

Komi as all weiqi player know is used to compensate the advantage black has in a weiqi game since black start first. Japan was the strongest weiqi country in the past even when the komi was 5.5 at that time. However when the Koreans started to change the komi to 6.5 in their internal competitions, Korea became the the top country for weiqi in the world. People like Lee Changho win international competition like no one business. The reason for this is because fuseki and joseki which were widely used and taught by japanese were no longer efficient when used against 6.5 komi so the Korean started playing new joseki and fuseki to ensure that black becomes more effective. Actually the change in komi by koreans practically destroy the fundermental of Japan' weiqi. If we look at the international competitions now, China who is using komi of 7.5 has more of its players in the finals in almost all international competition. This shows that komi plays a huge part in the development of weiqi.

I was really surprise by his theory because it is very true. So maybe singapore should start to use komi of 8.5, haha.

Last day teaching in mee toh primary school. I know i will never get to see them again so thought of getting them a small gift. My mum say i am crazy, she say that i should not waste money. Well my thinking was, if taking a little part of my salary to buy them something can make them so happy, why not?

One of my class show me this before i leave. Took me quite a while to understand, haha.

Went to ion to meet my mum for lunch in a japanese restaurant. The service was really bad, first time i wrote so many things in the comment sheet.

Check up was ok.... i have to experience the super long tube going through my nose process again!!! The last time i did that was like 3 years ago and i thought that will be the first and last time...

These few days i have been really busy fighting email war. Is generation gap the main problem or i just dont understand their point of view? Not saying that implementing the "mc" thing will greatly change swa but from how things work now and how some seniors are pushing swa, why do i feel worry? When i look at the poll results (5 ppl) i feel disappointed, really.

Spend my afternoon watching 包青天, a 1993 tv series. OMG, isnt that like 17 years ago!! But still the show is good! The only funny thing is that they sometimes speak in sophisticated chinese and i am like HUH.... can you be more direct?? Maybe thats the trend 17 years ago.

Went to bishan at night for 3 countries meeting. Great, the free and easy will be Universal Studio!!! I am sure the foreign players will have a good time there.

After that went to mac to discuss weiqi stuff with wen jun. I am really happy that he is very willing to help improve swa. 5 years, 10 years, 20 years later, I wonder what will swa become. Will there be a private weiqi school to fight against swa? Will ssc recognize us more? will there be new blood in swa? will nt/ntt stop functioning? will there be more sponsors? will thailand overtake us? will swa make no improvement?

After i go korea, i am worry that no one will contribute new ideas or fight against stuff to improve swa. Not saying that i am the only one who do that but no one is as siao as i am when it comes to all these pushing of new ideas. Main reason.... is troublesome. I have to agree on this.

Met up with jon, jerlyn, meng yeow aka 绵羊 in ion for dinner. Think the last time we met up was in the changi chalet.

A belated birthday surprise in a hong kong desert restaurant. Xin Ku 绵羊 for sneaking to bread talk to get a cake and have to act that he baking cake in toilet thats why take so long, haha. Ok, his acting skill did improve, even though i saw him carrying stuff back i really thought he went to toilet to bake cake. I was surprise to see the cake because it was the exact same one huiling got for me few years back when she was still working in swa. Oh yar, and they got for me a scarf to prepare me for my battle with korea winter, hahaha, i really like that gift, thank you so much guys if u r reading.

I have to post this pic because they are just too cute!!! Saw them in 313 cold storage. Wanted to get the ginger bread man for my sis but it cost $49.90....... gosh...my sis, if u r reading this, enjoy looking at the pic:) muhahahahahaha

OMG!!!! No air con for 1 bloody week!! I am not a big fan of air con but the weather is just ridiculous even at night!! I can feel my sweat on the pillow every night......

This week is like army week, waking up at 6.30am every morning (except today thanks to my indian pals) and have to reach punggol by 8.30am. I know Singapore is kind of tiny but travelling from bukit batok to punggol is super far for me. Teaching weiqi in primary school is quite interesting because i get to see how loud a teacher can scream, how crazy the whole school becomes during recess time, how innocent the kids are and how much pri sch children have "evolve" since my time. Teaching weiqi to kids is not easy because this game is quite complex even to some of my peers so I have to think of ways to simplify the teaching and make my class interesting. Sometimes i do feel like a clown entertaining 40 kids but when they start to laugh or when they understand what I am teaching about, is really worth it.

Speaking of army, cant believe i just ORD. 2 years has pass fast. All the friends i know, the knowledge i gather, the times we suffer will always be a memory i will never forget.

Woke up on my birthday and find some pressure in my right ear and thought is nothing. 2 days later i was feeling really unbalance in ion with my army friends. 1 day later the pressure became obvious so went to A&E to do a check and doc say my ear drum bursting. What a nice bd gift..hahaha. Alright hope everything will turn out fine.

Thailand trip was.......... first time in my life i find travelling a torture. Took a 9 hours bus ride from bangkok to chiangmai, a once in a life time experience. Went to night market at night and i started to get giddy and vomit like hell, not sure if it was because my my ear. Remain on bed till the next night and was admitted to their hospital. First time seating on wheel chair and was surprise to see a dog in front of the A&E counter. They din even bother taking my temperature, they just ask do u have fever, i say no, they write no, hahaha. Anyway i managed to survive.

My blog is not dead yet even though i have not update for like a few hundred years. Shall post a few picture in this entry.

Sunday meet up with with long sheng, tiac and eddie in bedok for our cycling "cohesion" in east coast park.

Our favourite meet up point. There are so many article in the shop saying how lucky this shop is bla bla bla. Long sheng say they pray to indian god thats why so lucky, haha. I wonder how the vendors earn money by operating singapore pools shop, by commission or a basic salary?

After spending a few bucks on scratchit, we went to east coast park. It has be

en

like 3 or 4 years since i last cycle. The last time i cycle i had a straight hit on with another bicycle and at that moment i thought i am going to die!! muhahahah, well manage to survive with a few scratches though. After cycling for 2 hours i feel like a waist down paralysis person.

There was a SPCA carnival there and saw so many nice dogs!

Dogs for adoption on the spot. The think the dogs look quite cool with the SPCA scarf around their neck.

This dog look super cute with this tigger shirt on. But doesnt the dog feel hot??

Fierce dog!!!!

If i dont live in HDB i will sure buy this breed. Super big and cute.

Went to illuma for lunch with my sister few days back.

It cost around 50 bucks for 2 person, quite ex but is paid by my mum so is a good meal, haha.

Had chalet with army friends on 11 oct. NSRCC chalet is really expensive (around $150 per night for safra member) is worth it. It looks superb after the renovation.

Second day we celebrate jon's bd. Meng went to bake the bd cake personally!!!!

I have to say the cake taste really really good! It makes me feel like baking my own cake (i mean the real cake, not the chocolate type)

But i dunno why he put red colouring in the cake. I was afraid my shit or urine will look like there is blood in them, muhahaha.

Look at how happy aunty jerlyn is, muhahaha

bd boy cutting cake.

Was taking bus to bishan today and i notice a sign board saying: BY LAW- pay the correct fare, no vandalism, no eating, no assault on bus captain. I was like HUH!!! the last point!! Isnt it common sense we cant hit the bus driver? You mean it was allow in the past? Damm, miss my chance.

When I saw him lying there i could not describe the emotions i felt.

How can someone who is so cheerful and helpful be lying there at such a young age? He dont deserve this.

Close to a month to ord from army. Office feel abit quiet today, kind of miss the old days where our office is like a madhouse.

These few days have been thinking through national training team (ntt). Glad that nyt can be change to ntt and national team is form too. But this is only the beginning. I have to admit that planning these stuff is really troublesome and during the process i have kill millions of brain cells. But i learnt alot. The biggest lesson I have learnt is that things dont always turn out as you wish and to be flexible to deal with the changes.

Has been reading Paul Ekman book these few days. The drama Lie To Me really got me obsesses into miroexpression. If i dont know weiqi, i will definitely major in this degree. Is so interesting.

Went to bugis today to watch Lanke Cup. Really love the competitive atmosphere there. Wonder if i have another chance to join Lanke Cup in future?

I have been playing weiqi for quite some years and i notice a sad thing.

I seem to forget something call "快乐围棋".

I can remember clearly that when i first started weiqi, i used to find friends and gather in clubhouse to play weiqi or approach people to play games. Is really a happy thing to do cause we were all enjoying the game and is a form of gathering. But now this does not happen anymore. I notice this happen to alot of my peers too. Especially when we reach a certain Dan level or when we are playing competitively.

Every time when we play now, is either in competition or training and this kind of environment force us to think of winning all the time and forget the main reason why we started this game... FUN. Most of my peers dont play leisurely too, is it because they dont want to "lose face" when losing the game or they try to keep "secret weapon" and use it in tournament?

There is a period where i dont like to play weiqi not because i am bored of it but i hate the feeling of losing. Whenever i lose, i get upset easily and i have to find stuff to do like eating (haha) to distract myself from thinking of the losing match. Is a terrible feeling and i know if i cant overcome this, my myongji path will be a suicide path.

So where should i start?

Thanks yurika who help me bought some fan from nihon kiin. She even got discount from her friend!!

Was upset with m.s. Sometimes i dont know if this happen to the youngest member of the family. When everyone in the family is "taking care" of her and she has no one to "take care of", will it make her abit self centered? S incident really bother me alot and the last time i feel so upset is during wmsg. I was so angry that i almost could not control my emotions. If she cant make it on that day, why cant she suggest another date which she is available so that i can make arrangement? She just say cant go and thats it. If she can make time for her 한국 class, why cant she make time for S even for the last time? Everytime when i feel like going yishun i will think of this incident and is killing my passion for S. I dunno when i can go back S. I will be really disappointed if she miss that out. If you are reading this, i am not typing this to make you angry, i just need a place to vent out my anger.

Going to ORD in 2 months time. Started to hand over rooms to my junior and i know i am going to miss that place. All the memories. So what am i going to do from oct to feb? Thought of working part time in a dog farm where my friend used to work in. Pay isnt much but i like dogs alot and short working hours. Or should i concentrate on improving weiqi before myongji? One thing for sure, i am not going to slack at home and kill my brain.

Just came back from watching the YOG rehearsal which lasted for around 3hours. The performance were not bad but the starting was quite boring. Will be going to the actual one next week with my sis, wonder what will be in the goodie bag. There is this part where all the participating countries will introduced one by one and when it comes to Bangladesh, all the secondary school kids were cheering and shouting like mad.... i think foreigners attending will thought that we are very close to that country.

Yesterday was one crazy day in army. Started work at 8am and have to work all the way till 5am the next day.

Was talking to a friend in army. Few years back he was feeling unwell in his stomach and when he visited the doctor, he was diagnose with cancer stage 4 which means he is going to die soon. He went for chemotherapy and it was quite effective for him. Few months later all the cancerous cell in his body were wiped out. The doctor told him that even if the cancerous cell were wiped out, he can only live for the next 3 to 5 years. This is his 3rd year. When i heard his story i was really surprise because he look so cheerful everyday. I asked myself if i know how much time i have left, can i be as cheerful like him?

This morning was in yishun from 11am to 2pm. I cant believe X is late again, and this time 50 mins late!!!! OMG... When X arrive i feel like telling X, can u dont be late, time is precious to me. Considering a switch, but who next?

Went to watch inception with sis. Not a bad show. I just realized that the show "The Prestige" (a movie between 2 magician competing with each other using orthodox method that no ordinary magician will use) is by the same director as Inception. And surprise that the the box office for The Prestige isnt good because is really really a nice show, in fact i personally think is better then Inception because of the huge twist at the end. If u have not watch "The Prestige", please go and watch.

Have been watching the series "criminal minds". Quite sad that one of the main character decides to leave the show.

Is scary to see that as people grow older, they dont say what they actually feel.

Sometimes is so hard to communicate because we have to use the right word and tone despite being unhappy so that the other party will not feel offended.

Thats why i envy kids, they can do and say whatever they want.

zhang xiang is quite creative, he mention in his blog.. SNOC= Seriously Naughty Organisation Committee. Muhahahahahah... I dont use the word lol much but this is really LOL!!!!!!!!! hope that snoc dont see this.

We tried all we can and there is nothing much we cam do now. Lets pray hard for external help now. Mr Kwa put in alot of time and effort into the application and appeal, hope that a miracle happens.

National youth team is really a big headache for me now. So many problems here and there. Of course there are times i feel like giving up, asking myself why did i go through so much troubles and planning to set this team up. But when i see the players play so seriously, having fun reviewing (well, they look like they are having fun, haha),i think all the time sacrifice for this team is worth it.

Have been looking for someone (thats u wen jun) to take over me to manage NYT because i will be away next year but is really hard. First i cannot expect him/her to have the same drive and enthusiasm as me to operate this team. Our ideas of NYT may be very different. Wenjun has been telling me that nyt seems so slack, everyone is not discipline enough, most people skip review bla bla bla and alot more which i totally agree. He even told me if 'M' is in charge, he plan to ask everyone to sign contract etc to enforce everyone discipline. But i think that they feel this way because they have not manage the team yet so dont understand what is going on. I can also enforce strict rules and kick people out when they fail to meet the rules but how are all these going to benefit NYT, SWA and the players? Are these really going to work or frighten everyone away? The players can just quit, they have nothing to lose. I personally feel that NYT is a training ground for players who wants to improve more, a place for players who want to mingle around and make more friends, a place for players who dont have a reason to play weiqi( since they have completed all the swa weekend class or other reasons). At least for now, it dont have to be that strict.

Is sad to see that no one is signing up for nyt selection especially this month. I have to personally approach people and ask them to join. What does this show? Does sg player hate playing weiqi that much or we dont have players anymore?

I cant help but to say that i dont understand hwachong players (if u r ex hwa chong student, pls dont kill me).Is like majority of the people there are being forced to play weiqi. I am not saying this because only 2 hwa chong players (yuxiang)(jie hui) join nyt despite they have tons of good players but besides competition, do you see them in swa event? Do you see them help out in yc event? Ok, maybe is during exam period or studies come first. Being the top weiqi school in singapore, is sad to see that beside playing competition for their sch, they dont contribute to other areas in swa.

Read "Y" blog and know that she is not quite happy about what i "did" to mimi(thx karen for the name) in mindsports festival. Did some reflection and yar, i admit i am wrong, should not have arrange so many players especially him. I can find lots of excuses to defend myself for example, there are lots of crowd so i need to maintain the crowd by making the game go on and on,alot of ppl wan to see the game between them, bla bla and the excuses goes on but i am really in wrong especially when i forgot that the pro standing there is just a 21 year old lady.

Last week was my sis DJ competition in jurong point. I was really glad that some of my aunt and uncle actually made posters, buy whistle and came all the way down to jurong point to support my sis. Is the first time we actually have this kind of gathering and it really feels good.

One of my aunt told me that this is her first time doing this kind of "chase star" thingy in her entire life, haha and in some point she was so embarrassed by all the shouting and blowing of whistle that she has to cover her face with the poster i made, muhhahahha.

So my sis has to compete in 3 different rounds of test with 9 other competitors. There will only be 1 winner and he will get $1000, a one year contract as DJ in 933 and become ambassador for ALICAFE (a coffee brand).

So in the first round, they were given a news article beforehand and they were asked to summaries them and present the news in a interesting way on stage. One by one they made they presentation and finally when is my sis turn, (she is number 10, the last contestant)i could feel my relatives all tense up. My sis din really perform well in the first round so we were quite worried for her.

In the second round, each contestant were given 2 words and they have to make a story out of it. My sis got 汗颜 and 蚀. I am like what the hell is 汗颜 and 蚀??? My sis got the 2 hardest word among the 10 contestant. In the end she managed to cook up a story and the judges were quite impress, haha.

In the third round,the contestant were pair up in pairs and they have to interview either "stars" acted out by current 933 DJ or actually singer (there were 2 of them that day). Actually the 10 contestants were given 5 names 1 week before the competition so that they have time to prepare what they want to interview with their partner. The 5 names were, xiao s (a famous taiwan host), bye 2 (a twin group from singapore), gong zi yi (singaprean singer), xie jia fa (933 dj) and yao yao (a actress famous in taiwan for big b***). So when my sis and her partner went to draw lots on stage, they got jay chou, a name which was not in the 5 names given earlier. Haha, i could see how panic my sis and her partner was and what make things worst was that they have to present first, meaning no time to prepare at all. But my sis did quite a good job interviewing him even though "jay chou" answer "yes", "hmm", "yar" everytime when a question is asked.

Then came down to the results part.The contestant were line up on stage and were asked to leave one by one in random order if they are not in top 3. I could see my relatives screaming and shouting at her name when it comes down to the top 3. My sis came in second. The winner is a guy from ntu and his chinese is really good so he deserves to win the title.

Yesterday my sis received a call from mediacorp askng her to be part time dj in 933 but first she has to pass the probation period. All the best to her!!

Was checking myongji website for the enrollment date and found that it was changed to december instead of november, notice of admission will be end of jan. So i guess i will most probably be going there in feb.

I also happen to see an interview of mod (the thai player)regarding his plan and how he was doing in myongji. After watching it on youtube i know life will be really harsh. Of course before watching i already know it wont be easy. Questions like what can i do after i graduate from there, leaving my comfort zone and staying in some cold and unknown language country, will i survive there, bla bla thousand and 1 question... Yar it will be scary living all alone there but is exciting to me and not everyone have this chance of doing so.

In mindsports festival i did up a last min simul game for ms cho cause she seems bored so we got alvin, zhou xiang, xing wei, rong yao, yimo, junzhe and one ntu guy to play against her. I was really surprised by the crowd being attracted to this simul game because alot of ppl were very impress by a lady playing against so many guys. A lot of them even took out their camera to take ms cho picture. Some who have no clue what is going on even seat down and admire ms cho, hahah, i am serious. But i think she is going to hate me cause she stand 3 straight hours, haha. My conclusion for this is that by having more female players, we might get more ppl to start playing weiqi. So how do we attract female players?

Practice today was terrible. Things have gone terribly wrong after the monthly S. Have to think through more.

Tmr is the start of mind spots festival. Hope everything goes on smoothly.

When i saw north korea getting 7-0 in world cup, i start to get worry for the players when they go back home. Past players who did not perform well were sent to labor camp to work for 15 years. Scary huh....

Training today is good, there is improvement. Scored 491 last sunday and had 512 today:) pass the 500 mark!!

Must watch!!

Finally got my opening and closing ceremony ticket for the youth olympics. The seats given is not the best but well pray hard that the view is good.

Anyway if you are looking at my blog now, please go to http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/zh/radio/yes933/ at once, scroll all the way down, right side and vote for 陈宁（18岁）. Please vote as many times as possible!!!! (you can vote again when you delete your history or cookies, shhhhh....)

Last fri was the ORD bbq celebration for some of my unit friend. For the first time, boss says appreciation speech for the 4 of them. I am not sure if the rest were listening to him (most ppl want to go home so badly) but i did listen. Stuff he said was really meaningful to me, especially when said he "what have you achieve so far and what are you going to achieve in 3 or 5 or 10 years times" even though he is praising the ord personnel, i feel that he is hinting us something. I look around and i see some of my frends wasting their lives away, staring in front of computer games, gambling, obsesses with gf bla bla bla... yar, you may say this is just my perspective, they might not think they are wasting their lives. But these things they do, which one can actually help or contribute to ppl around them or the society? Are they working towards their goal or dream in lives? There are so many people out there who wants to do so many stuff but are restricted by maybe their health or physical conditions etc.. and they dont have the chance to do it. Humans do take things for granted. Ok, enough of my BIG theory, haha.

Office now is really quiet...... kind of miss frends whom i have work with for 1 and a half years. 4 more months to ORD. should i feel excited about it? hmm.... it only means that i am going to lost more friends again.

Open my refrigerator and i saw a box of MAGNUM GOLD (the ice cream advertisement which 2 secret agent trying to steal gold bar but it turn out to be ice cream..yar trying to tell us how NICE the ice cream taste)....a, then i told my sis.."haiz...mummy watch too much tv". After eating the ice cream i conclude that my mum got con by that 2 joker secret agent... I think the ice cream is too expensive and is not nice.

Went to jurong point with my sis today because there is an autograph session there by li shen jie and she wants to go and see how the MC speaks and stuff. She needs to prepare for the up coming DJ competition. So all the while she is taking down notes (very hardworking of her) while the MC speaks and the singer will sing a few song here and there.

So during the first song, he started singing and halfway through he got some poster from the side. Yar... thats wat all singer loves to do...throw poster at their fan. So you can imagine all his fans started screaming and waving like mad at him. So me and my sis were at one corner looking over the crowd and i notice this foreign Bangladesh worker whom have no idea what is going on, started waving frantically to the stage because everyone in front of him are doing so. Muhahahhahah...is damm hilarious!! must see his expression.

Appeal is submitted. Hope the outcome will be good!

OMG!!! My sis got into top 10 of the 933 DJ competition!!!!

Went to the sports award 2010 dinner yesterday with the teachers and yc gang. Is good to attend this kind of event once a while cause it gives everyone a chance to dress nicely and a good time to talk cock.

But for me i think i din enjoy as much as the rest cause i have to seat with a bunch of unknown people and more importantly thinking of ways how to do the appeal. Everytime the VIP or MC said the word "asian games" i could hear president sigh. Yar, sad dinner...

Anyway i was really happy when Singapore table tennis won against China in the world table tennis competition. Good job!!

Then again... there will be people who will say "they are from china","fake singaporean" so on... everytime when i hear people say this i feel really angry. Deep inside i would really wanna ask these people, if your kid say they wanna stop school and concentrate on a sport, will you allow? And how many singaporean can go through the pain and hardship they have gone through. More importantly they have to give up their citizenship, go to a foreign country and they might have to play against their own country mate in competitions and that is really not an easy thing to do.

<a href="http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-sg&playlist=videoByUuids:uuids:e251c6a9-b4d5-4383-a962-13ccd4d6ebbd&showPlaylist=true&from=IV2_zhsg_ent_tv&fg=gtlv2" target="_new" title="Y.E.S.93.3FM【明星DJ争霸赛2010】20强">Video: Y.E.S.93.3FM【明星DJ争霸赛2010】20强</a>

I was really surprised and happy that my sis got into top 20 of 933 DJ competition.

Today will be the result of top 10, hope she will do good!!!

Lou Yuxiang won the first round against South Africa.

Lost the second round to Hungary.

Yuxiang vs player from Hungary. Quite impressed by his unique seating position. Yuxiang must be distracted by that, haha.

My friend was looking at this pic and he suddenly shout" wah!!! how come the guy on the right dun have legs?"

World Amateur Go Championship 2010 will begin on 24th may till 31 may.

This year representative for Singapore is Lou Yuxiang 5dan.

This is the website for latest result update: http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/amakisen/worldama/31/e/index.html

My YOG tickets are here!!!! Will be watching air pistol with my sis in aug. Each ticket cost $30.

Content of YOG ticket. They also gave a free visa card so that transportation on that day will be free and after which you can use this card as ez-link card or as visa card.

Entered my parents room one day day and was shocked to see this....

My sis doing her homework on an iron board!!!!! muhahhahahah...is this like the in thing now? ok, she is camera shy....

Tension between south and north korea are getting worst. Really hope that there wont be any war cause i will be going there end of the year... wonder hows cindy doing there now..

watched ip man 2 and is really a good show. In fact i think is better than part 1. I dun mind watching again, is a must watch show.

Another show which is the hot topic recently, iron man 2 is a disappointment for me. I feel that there is just too much talking and is not as nice compared to ip man 2.

Will be going to watch the opening and closing ceremony of YOG (youth olympics games) with my sis. Heard that you have to go through balloting to get these ticket if you buy as a public member because they wan to make sure is fair for everyone. So grab the chance and bought the ticket through some legal means, haha. Hope is going to worth the money cause the opening is quite ex. $80 for one and this price is only the third best seat.

Something happen at home and i am really upset by it. why do things have to happen this way? i din even have a chance to say a proper goodbye. she has been with us for so many years and i really cant bear to see her leave so sudden. if i know wat would happen i would have stop her or advice her. And y cant mum forgive and forget everthing, put those stuff aside n take it as if it never happen. i guess things r too serious. i dunno how long i am gong to be affected by this incident. take care and all the best aunt ruth, keep in touch.

Went for a 20km, around 3 hours trekking with zhixiong, monkey sis and mikyung on sunday. Is really interesting to see the different attire people wear for trekking especially when i see some wear office attire(yes, shirt and long pants) and traditional costume. Is just not logical to me, haha.

Also went to night safari and it turn out to be better than i expect. The animal show is interesting not because of the animal performance but rather the MC was quite comical. Is really challenging to train those wild animals for these show because you wont know what kind of stun they will do for every show. But is rather expensive, S$32 per person. The food there is really ex... around 4 times more than market price, haha.

Went to national library in bugis last week and i saw an interesting caption. When asked if this politician is afraid of death, he reply something like this "No, i am not afraid of death but rather how i am going to die. what are the things that i am going to leave behind, how did i contribute to this society and what am i going to be remembered for?"

传种接代(correct word?, haha) and earning enough money to support own family is most people's aim but i hope to do more than just these. So how am i going to contribute to this society?

Approached someone to sponsor mindsports festival and he agreed. Took alot of courage to ask him because we are not really closed and i seldom see him. Hope to get good news from him.

Saw a weiqi movie in Golden Village few days back.

Is not "THE GO MASTER" lar, thats outdated, haha.

Is call "Ju-On white ghost black ghost"

isnt that a good advertisement for weiqi? Maybe we can get someone to cosplay the ghost during mindsports festival and "she" will help us give out brochure. Good idea right?

Last week in bugis, i saw a dad teaching his son weiqi. They are beginner so they want to have a feel on a actual board. But the dad is holding the stone in a wrong way. Normally we hold the stone with our middle finger on top of our index finger. But he hold the stone with the index finger on top of middle finger.

I mean how do you even play comfortably in that posture? I saw a few players play that way too, deepest impression was jing wei (very long din see him le, studying i think). At first i was so amazed of how wrongly and ugly his posture was when putting a seed on the board, i was even worrying that he might fractured his fingers or have a huge cramp in his fingers but no, it din happen.

After a few months i could not resist but ask him how on earth can he hold a stone that way and doesnt he feel cramp after a game? And he reply he is used to it, haha.

went sentosa today with wenjun, minyi and mikyung. last time i went was last year with the koreans from ings cup. We went to beach, took the luge n skyride and they went to underwater world. I din join them for the underwater cause i went before and it cost really ex, around 22 bucks.

So while they were queuing up for the underwater world ticket, i saw this snake stall. U know the kind where u pay 6bucks and you get to take pictures with some huge snake with your OWN camera. The more i look at the owner of the stall the more i feel that he is abusing the snakes. Imagine him handing the snakes recklessly and he treat them like toys, putting his bag on the snake n so on. I am not a huge fan of snakes but is just not the way to treat them.

also went to the resort world and universal studio (entrance area). is really nice there but stuff are so ex. n ticket for the universal studio are all sold out!! isit really that fun? most people just take picture with the huge revolving globe outside the entrance.

went to bugis to take some brochure for active aging carnival. then wanted to go bishan. So after i alight from city hall, i should just cross over and take the red line to bishan. BUT one small tiny part of my brain tell me to go down one level n take the green line. So i happily went down and board the green line train n suddenly i realise i am in the train BACK TO BUGIS... well done.. i must be the dumbest person on planet earth in that few minute.

Went to marina for bowling this morning with army frends as a form of celebration for bryan ord. Think the last time i bowl was 1 year ago. Wanted to learn bowling but could not find the time.

Went to Manhattan fish market for lunch and the fish n chips is not bad plus the staff there are really good.

After that went to golden mile with some army frends to book tour to genting. All of us dying to try the texas poker in genting, haha. Really cheap, cost only 88, includes bus, hotel and breakfast.

Went to a cafe in city link to spend my time before meeting exco for dinner. Cant believe i read weiqi book there without feeling sleepy. Normally when i read weiqi book i will feel like sleeping immediately, hmmm..maybe is too quiet i guess.

Went to jang shou restaurant for dinner with exco as a form of welcoming mikyung. Food was really good but i guess i order alittle too much. Was more ex than i thought.

Then we brought her to visit our dear merlion...

Lazy to post pic here, facebok load faster.

ok, we will be bringing her to sentosa tmr, hope is going to be fun.

So many things to settle recently...

Japan trip was fun but really tiring for me cause jerlyn and meng yeow drag me to so many places. Well i have to be grateful to them cause i get to see many parts of tokyo. Weather was terrible, raining and was damm cold.

Experience their rush hour in train during night time. OMG, they can really squeeze in train. We should bring all singaporean to japan to experience once and they will realise that they are not even trying hard to squeeze in singapore mrt. Japan train is ex too, i spend near 200 dollar on train in 6 days.

mikyung came to singapore and we help her with her home stuff and brought her to the clubhouses. Koreans dun use bolster!! she was so amused when she know we use bolster in singapore.

Might be going genting with army frends next next week to play and gamble!! haha...

sis got me the most useless thing from china, a dumb glove with 4 claws. Seriously what the hell can i do with it? maybe wear it on Halloween... haha.

Cho MiKyung (female 21 years old) 3p from Korea will be joining SWA as full time staff next month onwards!!

Send my sis to airport yesterday cause she will be going to china for 2 weeks to do voluntary work there.

And will be my turn this friday to go japan!! YEA!!! This time i will be going tokyo again which i dun really prefer cause the last time i went i find the place too similar to singapore(in terms of too many shopping mall and tall building) plus stuff there are so ex. Wanted to visit like kyoto or other place but my poly frends whom will be going with me never been to toyko be4 so yea.. tagged along, haha. This time i must take some pictures of nihon kiin and buy many many weiqi fan(main goal for this trip)

Sat was national youth competition and bugis was flooded with people from group A and B. And i heard a few guys saying, wah singapore got so many youth ar? haha, yar i am quite surprise by the number of people too. Thats good news:) But admin area still need to improve cause the starting was terrible, not enough chairs and table, ppl name not on the list, whole place is hot cause too many people.

My frends in my unit are going to ORD soon and they are discussing about which uni to go and they all seem so excited. Honestly if there isnt this weiqi degree in korea, i have no idea where i will be studying, most probably helping out at my parents stall? nah.....

When i heard that some of my frends need to work and study part time after they ord i feel that i kind of take alot of things for granted. Sometimes i would ponder on why some stuff are so unfair to me but there are just some other areas where things are compensate back to me just that i din notice it or sometimes i refuse to acknowledge. Will use my japan trip to think through stuff.

My cousin keith got hooked up on hikaru no go!! muhahahahah...her mum was complaining to me saying he keep reading it all day long. haha. went to grandma house to teach him and another cousin to play and the other cousin of mine was really smart. Is just different from the kids and even people of my age i have taught. The seriousness when he think through the game and how he play make me really excited, haha. I am going to psycho his mum to let him join swa class, hope to make him into the second jie hui.

Saw kaiwen in bugis few weeks back and she even went up to swa. I dunno why but I guess things have changed and it can never be like the past. When i visited her facebook few months back i suddenly find her very unfamiliar. Did i really not take a good look at her in the past? Is really upset to lose such a good player and frend. If time can go back i will try even harder to make her stay in weiqi.

Spend the whole day in bishan today doing weiqi stuff.

Had youth connection meeting today and realize that we still have to do alot for our project. Hmmm, i dunno isit because this is a huge scale project and it scares people off or other reasons but not many people seems to really support this project. Or the captains are just not interested because it does not really concern their school. I guess some people in youth connection just do not have that much passion as some of us have so saying so much project stuff might turn them off. I dunno, just feel thar something is not right but just cant find what isit.

Had voting on youth connection shirt. Have to admit i din do a good job the last time round and have to pass it to siong hwai and he did a good job. The design is nice. Just pray hard that it wont be the zip type drifit shirt, haha.

When my non weiqi frends look at swa logo, they all ask me why we so not creative, putting the singapore lion symbol on a weiqi board with 2 tiny stones relaxing in one corner.

Exco meeting was really fast today, think it broke swa record, everyone was so happy. Heard prof gao said this " 哇，今天很早完，以前到十一点多我傻掉了" muhahhahahahhahahha....

receive a bad news today.

Hope mr k can do something about it

Just found out from my mum that my cousin got diabetes.

And he is just primary 3 or 4. My mum was really upset cause he has to take 2 injection everyday and he is still so young.

Yesterady i realise that my rintone has ben scaring my dad for the past few weeks. Cause my sms ringtone is the creepy "i see you......" tone and i usually put in the kitchen for charging at night and ask my dad to help me off the switch before he sleep. So sometimes i get sms at night and my dad was wondering why is there a voice in the kitchen and he was so disturbed by it that he thought our house was haunted. My mum even told my dad not to mention this creepy voice in front of me and my sis so that we wont be afraid living in the house. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Oh, i just realize that the show i watched yesterday is call blind side, not bind side..haha.

My sis gave me 2 free ticket to watch 14 blades today in vivo. Went with huishan and the show is not bad. Wu Zun(the brunei guy in fei lun hai) speaks with funny chinese so i prefer him not to speak, haha. There is this female villain in the movie and her name sounds super lame, call tuo tuo yes 脱脱 direct translation means strip strip. Well, if you going to watch this show i have a little quiz for you, why is she called tuo tuo? haha

After talking with huishan in dinner just now, i realize how fortunate i was and yet i simply took it for granted. I dunno why but i just feel something struck me hard when she told me how much her dad is earning to support her family of 5.

Just came back from watching the movie "Bind Side" with my army friends. If is not for them, i would not have consider watching this show cause the poster looks boring.

But this movie turns out to be a really really good show. Really inspiring. The female actress Sandra Bullock won best actress because of this movie too and she does deserve it.

Saw wenzhi's boyfriend is my unit today. He is a lieutenant brining his troops to my unit for training. When i ask him are you wenzhi's boyfriend he look damm surprise, haha... What really surprise me is that before he left he gave me a breakfast set (curry puff and a drink), haha. Role model for officer, hahaha.

Heard from wenzhi that michelle is getting married soon. Was shocked when i heard that. Went to her blog and saw they they even bought a house already. Maybe i haven seen her for a long time so i suddenly find her somehow unfamiliar. I remembered both of us were in the same specialization course in our poly third year and we always borrow people's homework and copy from them, muhahahah.. Time pass really fast.

I have been playing this application call school of wizardy in facebook and maybe due to copyrights they have to "modify" their character appearance and how the magical items were called. Last night when i access this application i got a shock of my life cause my character who is Hermione look like she went through plastic surgery 30 over times and she got this super thick lips. OMG...i hardly recognize her anymore... poor thing. Nevertheless i will still continue to play this game. I wanna see how long my passion for this lame game can last, muhahhhahahah.

Received a call from my scout friend today.

They found my camera!!!!!

YEA!!!!!!!

A very tired day today...

Was in bishan the whole day doing up the pair go world cup selection...zzzzz....

After 4 rounds of playing, singapore and malaysia enter the main competition which is going to be held in hangzhou in march.

Had a great talk with yurika last night in msn. Haha, a very interesting topic indeed. Feel kind of bad to make her listen to my problems, really appreciate her advice.

too tired to continue blogging...zz

Went back to secondary school today and something terrible happen...

i lost my camera......

Haiz.... really no mood in swa. Hope that my camera is still in the scout den:(

Went PS for dinner with jon just now. Haha, he look super fierce with his botak head. Was hearing him talking about his tekong experience and it sound totally different from my experience last year. Recourse batch sounds quite interesting.

Went to otaku house and i saw this....


I dun really watch naruto now cause kind of lazy but this figuring is super cute.... Bought 1 even though it coast 7.50 for one... damm ex...

So you cant choose what characterto get cause is all wrapped up in a box and i was hoping to get anything except number 4 and 5.....


number 5 is a villain so not that interested, number 4 is a good guy but....hmmm just not interested.....

and when i open........


SIAN..........................................number 4.......... haha, quite disappointed.... i was wondering if is a hint for me somehow....

Going back to hong kah tmr to meet my scout friend. Quite sad that some of them are not interested in going back, dunno why. Another reason i wanna go back is to visit my teachers and my new school, haha wonder how new has it become.

In my work place i just cant seem to communicate or stand this particular person because he seems so self centered and keep giving excuses. Like when he play games and lose, he will give lame excuses like oh very tired today, not use to controller etc... when unit friend is in trouble, instead of thinking how to help, he will be there saying useless stuff like "see lar, knew this will happen..." and he will go on and on. I am just surprise how some people tolerate him. Something just struck me suddenly toady.. what if my kid behaves like him in future? you know some people behaves different in school and at home, and it will be so sad if my son/daughter's friend talk behind his back about how bad this person is. Hmm.. will i be able to educate a kid that wont behave like thw person i know in work place?

I guess it must be really long since i blog.

Last week was one of a hell week for me. Was feel really weak and i cant believe i actually walk from joo koon to camp in this state. The thing that freak me out is that i din even sweat a bit, haha... it only means i am really sick.

Sleep alot everyday and i dun even feel hungry. Worst thing happen on friday when i could not see things near with my spec on. Apparently i somehow lost the ability to "zoom in" over a night. Went to an optician in jurong point and she has no idea what went cock up in my eyes so she recommend me to jurong medical centerand the eye doctor there cant explain what happen. Magically it recover on the sat. Went to see specialist as refereed by the eye doctor today, waited for almost an hour and when is my turn i was in the room for like 5mins. He said " oh maybe your headache cause it...hmmmm...maybe you should check your spec... come back 6 weeks later" What the helllll....... maybe i should just poke his eyes... ok, thats random.... well i am speechless about his explanation.

Feeling so much better now. Better take care of my health now so that i can chiong more tidbits during chinese new year.

Have been talking to mikyung lately in msn, feel that with her coming into swa, the youth will be going to benefit from her teaching. Really hope that with her in swa we can open up to more english speaking families.

Oh yar....something that is making me having sleepless night. MY HAIR...... I told my hairdresser i want to cut short. The past few occasion i have been saying the same thing and i dunno why it is so different this time... because i wasnt wearing spec when he cut so i have no idea how short he cut my hair...and my nightmare came after i put on my spec. I was stunned. I wanted to ask him if we were on tekong island now. IS FREAKY BLOODY SHORT LIKE BOTAK!!!!! I am never going to see him in my life again... if i do i am going to use his scissors and cut away all his hair!!!!!! ok, relax...... is just hair... its going to grow back:)

My buggest headache now is the pair go selection this sunday. I hope nothing goes wrong.....
