Just came back from the tennis camp and now my head is spinning like nobody's business... But then in exchange I had fun! Hahax The camp started on 26th sept tuesday and ends today. Lets have a quick summary of the three days.
26th September
I went to Macpherson ITE with in morning first before going to the camp. There is this SC Logo presentation to the principal of ITE Central and some other people. ITE decided to have a standardised SC Logo for the whole of college central. So we are to send in some designs. ITE Bishan, Yisun, Tampines and Bedok were there to present their logo. The best part is it was helded in ITE Macpherson's conference room and they were not there. Everything went great and I think we have high chance of winning. Bishan's logo was ok but wasnt very good. Yishun's design is crap. Bedok's design was quite interesting. The logo was designed by my senoir Fathi and he was there to present it personally. The presentation was so good they have notting to ask during Q&A. High chance of winning! Hahax
I went home to grab my stuff and went over to the Changi Chalet where my camp is held. I have a match against Moshen so I kind rushed there. It was raining when I reached there at three plus. I went there prepared for a match but to my dissapointment Moshen could not come so I won by default -__-"" When I came, everyone already finished their first match. They were all playing PS2. After dinner we played some ice breaking games and had our free time after that. Free time was quite boring... Forgot to bring my guitar...
27th September
Woke up at four in the morning for breakfast. So early? Hahax Yeah! I'm fasting with the Muslim ppl there at the camp. Jon also fasted with us. We ate breakfast and went back to get some sleep. After that we washed up and proceeded to the tennis court at around Ten. My match with Garret was my first match. Garret serve first and I broke his serve to win a 1-0 from the start. Then I kept my serve to lead 2-0. After that Garret kept his serve all the way untill we reached 4-3. He broke my serve to tie with me and won me finally at 6-4. Throughout the whole match, there is only one thing in my mind. And that was WATER!! Fasting with without food is ok but without water is tough. As a result I lost the match... Well on the bright side, because I lost it gave me time to go back and get my guitar! Hahax I went back ar one and came back at four. Seems like Garret won third. If I had won him I could have been third or maybe second... But then in exchange I cant bring my guitar. So I'm glad I lost. Hahax Went to Changi Village for dinner. We all ate the famous Chicken Rice there which was served at around 6:50pm. But breaking of fast, know as berbuka is at 7:05pm
Because of that I have to stare at the food for a good 15mins before I can eat... Now I know how it feels to be fasting and have food tempting you... Hahax But still it was fun to be fasting. After that that a few of us bout some beer and went back to the chalet. Again we have free time. This time with my guitar it isnt as boring as the day before. Hahax While we were drinking, we played some card games too. Loser will drink one gulp. Hahax In the end I drank 2 gulps. Yucks Honestly I hate the taste of beer. Prefer wine. But then the smell of alcohol is nice. Hahax

I'm gonna blog about yesterday since yesterday I couldnt blog. My excuse? Too tired... Hahax Sarturday yesterday was the ITE Collage Central Carnival. The idea of a carnival was actually my senior Rizal's idea. Because the Idea was good, the damn principal took the idea for his own. Some kind of principal huh? The carnival took place at Bishan Park 2. Off all places they put it there... Thank God there is a bus from bedok reservoir to there. Went there at seven plus and reached there just nice at 8:50am. I'm assigned duty at the dinning area. At first it seems boring. But then when my duty finished at 1pm... Thats where the fun came in. Hahax we got a few tickets to carnival so we used them to have fun. When we play we can get tokens to redeem prizes. At first we played to get the tokens. When our tickets ran out... Hehehe! We were so glad Gabriel had a game booth. So we took the stamp and started chopping on our token card to get the points and redeem prizes. Ami redeemed an oven toster and a coffee maker and he decided to put it in the SC room for use. The rest of us got ourself a Nivea Package and a Winnie the Pooh soft toy. Geez... I must admit that I feel rather guilty "winning" the prizes... Well since I was assigned to do duty there must be some rewards for us right? Ok I'm not so guilty now. Hahax
After the carnival I went over to my uncle's place for dinner. The food there was like... WOW! One of my uncle bought Lobsters and Oysters. The Lobsters are big ones somemore. Cost around $15 each and he bought one whole box of it... The Osyter we ate it raw. Yucks! I dont really like eating raw oysters. I cant believe my brother actually likes it and ate in total of 4!! Because of that today he got stomachache... Hahax

I think my PC is dying soon... Just formatted my PC again and still it isnt running properly. I also got my RAM changed and still it isnt running properly. Was thinking of changing the Graphics Card then I realised actually the problem is the monitor. One of the pins in the plug is gone. So if I kinda hit my PC abit while using it, it will hang... Haiz... Ah well my monitor is with me since 2001. Still remember when I bought the LCD Monitor some of my friends havent even heard of the term LCD. Hahax Took the chance where my PC is working to blog.
Having my holidays now and it seems rather boring... Staying at home all day bore me to my bones with a dying PC... Well at least there is Tennis training going on. Hahax There suppose to be one today but it was cancelled due to the rain... Damn Anyone out there having holidays wanna go hang out a lil? Call me man. Dun let me die of excessive boredom. Hahax

YAHOO!!! Today was my last exam for the whole of my ITE life! Next semester there wouldnt be any exams!! YAY!! No more last minute mugging!! (Untill I go poly... where the mugging continues...) The paper I sat for was Computer Networking. Had a hard time doing since both my hands were cramp and my right shoulder was cramp too. Well what you expect from 6 hours of Rock Climbing from the day before? Hahax Well at least on the bright side is I can write with both my hands. So I wouldnt feel too much strain on one hand. Hahax I finished the paper in 20 minutes and left the class after an hour the paper starts. Went home to take a well deserved long nap after that. Hahax Dunno is it my damn router or is it the damn MSN that is not working... Cant seem to sign in the whole evening...

ARGGGHHH!!! I'm dissapointed that the damn squealing pig Sharapova Won the US Open against Hennin-Hardenne. Cant stand her "battle cry" each time she returns a ball. She squeal so loud the whole stadium can hear. At times you can hear echo... Damn I was hoping Henin to win since she was one of the few who can beat her. Ah well what ever. At least on the brightside henin did Henin did not have to meet Mauresmo in the finals again just like in the Roland Garlos. Hahax

Firstly, I would like to bid farewell to Formal No.1 Tennis player Andre Agassi. He retired from tennis 2 days ago on 3rd September 2006. Born on April 29, 1970. How Agassi got to play tennis is an interesting one. His dad wanted one of his son, which happened to be Andre Agassi, to win all four grand slam. So he used his elder siblings as guinea pigs during coaching. Hahax Cool! When Agassi was in his crib, his dad will hang tennis balls on top of his crib. And when he is on high chair, he gave Agassi with paddles and balloon to play with. When Agassi started playing tennis, his ball collection filled 60 garbage cans with 300 balls per can, and Agassi would hit 3,000-5,000 balls every day. When Andre was five years old, he was already practicing with pros such as Jimmy Connors and Roscoe Tanner. Cool Eh? He turned pro in 1986 (The year Rafal Nadal was born! Wow!!). He played for 20 years substatining ankle injury on the way. Because of that it caused him to lose matches and withdrawing from tournament in 2005 last year. He had a bad start this year losing matches too. Till finally on 3rd September 2006, Agassi's tennis career came to an end. By the way... Dont you think Andre Agassi looked abit like Collin Farrell? Hahax
Secondly I wan to give my condolence to Steve Irwin also known as the Cocodile Hunter. Born 22 February 1962 in Essendon, Victoria, Australia. He died 4 September 2006 near Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia. He was killed by a Bull Stingray while filming. He was swiming above the stingray when it stung his heart and killed him... Well on the bright side he died in the country he was born... Hahax He was actually filming for his daugther Bindi. She was feature in the filming and if i'm not wrong she was the host for the show. Although I think its a bit weird he go around doing documentary bout all kinds of animals from reptile to birds and all... And sometimes I dont see no crocodile. Yet he is called the crocodile hunter... But still I must admit that his animal handling looks cool and rather professional and humourous. I must say! I kinda enjoy his show and at times I watch the show in my school during breaks or sometime skip class to watch inside my SC room. Hahax
Lastly, I wanna go watch TV already so see yah! Thanks for droping bye. Do tag! =D
