Ouch! My hamstring suddenly got cramped as i started this entry! Haha… Had one of those wonderful days that i used to enjoyed regularly in my teens: Scoring a Hat-trick. Strange as it really is, i played as a defensive midfielder and managed to get my 1st Hat-trick in almost 2 years! My biggest critic in football is probably myself and Baby now but it has been bugging me for some time now because i do have a decent scoring rate all my life. For almost 2 years, i played footie and whenever i score, it’s always one goal or a brace(2 goals) at most. Last month, Baby had a conversation about this and she mentioned that i always get substituted or took it too easy after scoring 2 goals in a match. I found that quite true but it didnt bother me at all because i always believe in my abilities and perhaps i am not as selfish as the striker i was in the past. However, the Hat-trick today has a very different yet special meaning to me. Firstly, all the 3 goals are dedicated to Baby who has been pondering about my scoring rate lately. But what really made me happy was seeing that glowing face of hers and with that, i knew how much i really make her day. Although i scored 3, i was really pleased with the rest of the players like Im, Hans, Ming, Shim, Kiran, Chee Hui, Ismadi and others because they simply gave their everything in the game just now. It felt almost like being in a war while playing in the 2nd half, as most of us were really shouting our heads off and urging one another to push ourselves to the edge of our energy levels. The main reason of the shoutings were because of one simple reason: the desire to win! It was just a friendly against a young competent and determined side. I remember very well their reactions after they managed to bring the scores level at 4-4! They were celebrating together wildly as though they have won the World Cup! But seeing them celebrating didnt put JAWS out, it brought out a piece of magic from Ming to get a penalty late in the game! Suddenly, JAWS were playing and constantly communicating actively again. I was stunned to be frank because that is exactly how much winning a social match means to the players! Respect for the lads and also i like to mention Baby, Haz, Darryl and the rest who came to watch JAWS in action. The whole experience with such comrades are worth more than a personal Hat-trick of mine. It means much more to me because i am able to share those moments with people i love!
Last Thursday, Baby and me went to watch ”I Love You Man!” and ”Transformers II” @ GV Plaza Singapura. We are going to watch ”Transformers II” again! tomorrow and i really think that the movie is a blast! Not JUST because of having Megan Fox running in slow motion most of the time, but also because of a better storyline! Having more robots this time round was really cool for people like me who grew up watching ”Transformers” cartoon! I am sure that i will be getting the Blue-ray for this movie in future because of its superior audio and visual effects!
Come Monday, Baby will be starting her new job@ SMRT. Honestly, i am feeling very excited and thrilled for her. She has always been such a wonderful other half of mine these 6years and coming 6 months. Looking back the years, i have seen her grow as a person and seems to be discovering her interests and hidden talents like taking awesome pictures. True is, the very first time i talked to her, i knew back then that she has immense potential to be a great wife and mother. As a person, she’s incredibly funny and loves to spend her time with her loved ones. More importantly, she’s smart and she is able to prioritise her life elements. Most of the time, she often underestimates herself. I hope to provide the best emotional and physical support for her and will spur her on to achieve our dreams in future. As i will be studying hard, she will be working hard to make ends meet. I just feel that we are about to embark on yet another new cycle together and God Willing, we will continue to treasure each other and overcome these obstacles like we always do. We might not be the best couple in the world, but we are just perfect for each other! Love you dear and whenever you fall, i will always be there to catch up and bring you back to your feet!

After a very short week of holiday, i am finally back in school again for a new term. I have been wanting to take BES modules for like forever because i heard from my other course mates about the assignments and the module doesnt have an exam paper to do! Plus, Miss Suma was my lecturer for Marketing Communication from my last term and i am very keen to take modules that were taught by familiar lecturers. Another plus point for taking BES is being able to be in the same class with many of my other course mates like Faiz, Sya, Tom, Marco, Dee, Jerifin, Eric, Milli, Joleen, Stephen, Kelvin……( if i continue, you might fall asleep!)
As soon as i arrived in the classroom, i took my place and straight away took the study books for the module. I initially took 2 books because Tom asked me to help to collect one for him as he had an ‘extended’ holiday back in his homeland, Vietnam. However, the fear of having not enough study books printed meant i had to pass Tom’s copy to another present classmate. Once everybody got settled, Miss Sumah began to explain the assessment of the modules as i listened attentively because it is my first time taking BES. Soon, we were asked to break into groups and share our thoughts about what another individual might think of us as a person. Obviously, i thought that it was pretty embarassing to tell others that the person i chose think very well of me. I sensed some of my classmates relunctantly participated as we happily allowed time to pass by. As a student, i love getting into discussions about exploring other perspectives and insights about some interesting subjects. Instead of getting to class to listen to the normal lecture, having discussions and learning from one another seems to be more productive in my opinion.
After the break, we switched classroom to a computer lab. The coolest thing about today’s lesson was in fact to blog! As i have been blogging for some time now, i was so pleased to know that my entries can be made on my own personal blog. Of course, i hope to learn as much as possible in future lessons so that i can put my knowledge into applications and enhance my skills and experience. As for my expectations for my next BES lesson, i hope to get into better group discussions and finalise my assignment group members so that we can start doing our work!

After months of countless assignments and the recent exams, i am finally having my one week break. JAWS has been growing well so far, but somehow the growth also made me even more paranoid about every little detail about the team. Although it’s been 2 months, we are doing very fine on the field and well supported by everyone connected to JAWS SC. Made the decision to make some developments with regards to the website and joining social leagues. However, budget is pretty tight and i really hope that a sponsor will be interested in assisting us as i believe that besides playing football every week, our communication strategies are increasing interactive and things can only improve with time.
All year, my family has been getting many problems. With my beloved grandma going to Boyan for some time, i hope by the time she comes back some of the family problems will be settled by then. Being the eldest at home certainly brought me more responsibilities and i am still learning how to improve as a son, grandson, elder and a positive influence. Nothing hurts me more than to see my own parents being sad and i also wish that things will turn out fine for my other beloved uncles and aunties that are facing a difficult phase at this moment. At least for today, i managed to be of some help to one of them and although i felt a little proud of it, i kept thinking that it’s God’s will. Talked to one of my cousin last night and somehow managed to gave him a piece of my mind about certain issues. All i want is really to emulate the respect and responsibility showed by our parents and to be that ‘bridge’ for my dear cousins to help them to cope with life and learning that family means more than everything, except God.
I feel blessed to only worry about my studies currently with really understanding parents and girlfriend by my side. At least for the last semester, i can safely say that i am finding my ‘groove’ in studying finally. All of these seemed to signal to me that i can going through a very different phase in life before i really started working after my studies. Maybe the Almigthy is preparing me for the next stage? All bless to God that i am able to appreciate the finer things and people in life now. My passion in soccer involves in managing JAWS to greater heights, while my family status is developing very well. My relationship with my more-than-6 years sweetheart is beyond when i can asked for: understanding, considerate, patient and still full of love. My lovely cousins are growing as a group and still value our gatherings so much. My studies also improving with more time and effort while i do my best to remember and remind myself of God to be thankful for all the lessons in life and good things that happen for my family. I miss Abang and i really hope to catch up some ‘brotherly’ time outside together with Ming as well someday…
Initially, i didnt think there was much to blog about and i was wrong. As for now, i will continue enjoying my short holiday and pray for the best that my whole family really manage to solve their domestic issues soon…
Lastly, i just wanna say this ( i dunno why!) : Papa and Mama, i really love both of you so much. I will conceal the words to describe my gratitude towards the great job of up-bring me as a person for one special day. I can only hope to be as good as both of you being a parent myself in future. Thank you so much…
