SUKMARELAWAN

being a normal kid in kt would mean sitting with the computer all day long or maybe going out for one or two minutes and rushing back in becoz its too hot out there...(seriously the heat can sometimes melt your brain or somethin). all this during holidays. But this year's holidays took a dramatic turn.

Sukma was on in terengganu. So a week before the sukma starts Uncle majeet asks me to work at one of the showcase events which took place at SESMA.

On thursday Loga, loga's dad, pravin, and me went to sesma. When we arrived there uncle Munu told us that today we will be getting the venue ready. we carried bout 200 chairs for the spectators and bring about 150 fighting mats on thestage to be kept away. the next day we were given off.

Saturday was the day that the event started. It is known as silambam. it is a indian martial art where they use sticks to attack their opponent. here are a few videos.....





I was given a name tag and i was on duty as sukarelawan with Pravin, Thrisham Jasteen, Suveen, Nesh, Kushi, Loga Thrishal and a few others. we had alot of work to do like setting up the computer for the judges, getting the place ready for some VIP. helping the participants who were injured. At the end of that day we went to the school field to see another showcase event called kabbadi. this too is a indian game which is a bit like galah panjang.

The next day SUNDAY. the last and best day i had during these holidays(eventhough the holidays were officially over hehe). the silambam went on as normal with the volunteers having alot of fun during the day. once the competition was over, a few of the masters and students gave a small demonstration of different types of silambam. Then a certain vip came for the closing ceremony of the games. Later the sukarelawan heped to clear and clean up the school hall. Then at about 7.30 a few of us decided to go and see the football finals at the new stadium between terengganu and Perlis.

At the stadium, thrisham jasteen and myself got some seats close to the track and field as we were hoping that we would be able to catch the ball if it came towards the stands. Then Danica henna nesh and thrishal joined us. In the first half terengganu were leading 2-0. then suveen calls us up and tells us that we can actually use our name tags to get to better seats. yeah that is the track. meaning we could go on to the track and be face to face with the players. As the finish of the first half came closer terengganu scored another goal from a free kick.the crowd went wild with applause. when the first half finished we went and met up with suveen so we go to the field. however suveen danica nesh kushi henna and thrishal decided to go back. So only me thrisham and jasteen left..

We were on the field when the second half started and watched as terengganu play a beautiful game against perlis. i checked and found out that ashraf was close by and i greeted him. Being a big kaki bola and one of the best players in our gang im sure he must have wanted to be on the field. It was great to see all the terengganu supporters cheering on for their players. Terengganu were leading 5-1 after a spectacular penalty shot and another goal when the final whistle was blown. the perlis players were rather sad and lay down on the field in sadness while the terengganu player laid down in happiness. Then the guy who scored the free kick for terengganu, the one which we dubbed CR7 because of his number 7 jersey, kicked the ball towards the stands. but fortunately for the three of us the ball fell short of the stands and landed just nicely in front of us. we kept the ball and returned home with shock at our luck in obtaining the match ball.

this was a great experience as this was my first live match that i have watched. the team that i supported won, the new stadium was beautiful and grand and we get to keep the match ball. it was emotional to see the number of supporters who had turned up and the unity that evryone showed when it comes to football. i hope that i will have many more experience like this to come my way as i still have a long way to go in life. as tommorow i return to hell on earth and i noe that i did terrible in my mid year exam i have a feeling i might go down to another class. so ill try to stay positive and not do nything stupid cuz the school is truly and always be hell to me........

sukma

Sukma…. Something we trengganurians(hope that’s right) have been waiting for. Well today I was lucky enough to be able to go to the batu burok akuatik complex. I managed to get pass security to the place where all the athletes get to rest and get ready for their events. The reason I get to come to this part of the center is because my gud friend William(not Daniel William Henry Bei go, but Lim William the most eligible bactchelor in K.T :X…..) is taking part in the games.

Somehow even though its not me competing, there is a little pride in being able to say my friend swims for the state or my friend plays football for the state and country. Anyway, the Morons gang show up. They are Amalina, Afina Mimi Yuyu Hani and Andriea. Choon Khai was there too. We all chilled in the air conditioned room that was actually meant for the athletes.some started playing cards while some lay back and enjoyed the cool air.

Later I took Choon Khai to a&w to make him taste the double moza burger. Most of my friends complain that the food there is not nice and compare it with KFC and MCD. A&W has its own different taste and nothing can compare to the double mozza burger. Now im not gonna be able to describe it to you now, so why don’t y’all just go there and try it for yourself.

We then get pass the security and wait for 5 oclock for the events to start. The day ends with a few wins and all and I wait for my mother enjoying another A&W burger. My mom picks me up and says lets go to esso cuz the petrol prices are goin up. I agree.

Unfortunately I agreed to get caught in an hour long traffic jam in the petrol station. There were even policemen in the station trying to regulate traffic. I finally got home and had my dinner and watched tv.

I think Ive gotten mad during the holidays because I noe tomorrow I gotta wake up early to get to my job at sesma but im sitting here in front of my monitor at 2 in the morning blogging. I suppose im only trying to kill myself before the holidays end. Cheerios then. Hope to stay alive and continue school.

holidays

Hello once again…..

I was reading all my friends blogs about their doings during the holidays and I fell like total crap…..most of the time I was stuck in front of the computer playing gta vice city like a mad person. 1^st of june I wanted to go see willia swimming but hell I got up early bput my jeans and guess wat….go back to sleep. However I did mange to play badminton with some friends, play night football and the normal Thursday football.

Still when I read ppls blog I say to myself “what the f**k I just wasted two glorious weeks of holidays….”

Well nevermind tomorrow I hope to be able to get to the aquatic complex and support William. Damn its been so long since I saw him. Somehow ive still got something to look forward to…. This 5^th 6^th 7^th and 8^th Im gonna work at sesma??? Where is that im not too sure. But im gonna be workin as….. dunno wat for the sukma showcase events silambam and kabadi.

Well that’s all I gotta say for now.

Football Knight....i mean Night

today friday was like normal.
then around 7.30 pravin calls me and asks me to go play football at batu burok joggers park.
well i was excited and went there immidietly.

There i waited with pravin for Weng ju, Thrisham, Jasteen, Shohael, Pheroz( shohael's brudder) and shivanand. we played with two mini goals. Weng ju jasteen and thrisham were on my team. we started the game at about 8.30. It was a great game as we played non-stop until at 9.30 my team was leading 3-0 thanks to my hat-trick.....fuhu bangga ler.........then since we were quite tired shivanand started to attack and managed to score,but before that weng ju scored a goal for us. later pravin scored two goals to bring the score to 4-3. so then we decided to play the last goaland pravins team was given choice of draw or loss. In the end pravin managed to get thrisham off guard and scored the last goal for the night. we then adjourned to the plaza makan batu burok to have drinks as we were very thirsty. we then went back home to sleep and wake up this morn.....or afternoon

Guess wat im back……

Sorry to my frequent readers…. I haven’t logged on for sometime… lots of exams and other busy events.

Imagine in da time I dint write…I mean blog…. I went for one camp….one football tournament, badminton tournament, beach soccer tournament, one birthday party, one mother’s day party, one carom and ping pong competition. Wah soooo many. Oh ya and one agonizing exam which lasted three weeks. Man that’s long..now its da holidays where we just sit and laze around and wait for SUKMA to start.

I want to tell u all about the camp and all that I have done but from the list above I believe I don’t want to write…. Blogspot might saman me for most blog entry in one day….,hehe just made that up. Well the other day I sat down and typed one whole long entry about the camp…..when I posted it some error occurred and you guessed it the whole page became BLANK. Shit!!! One whole hour of fervent writing all gone and lost I da cyber world… so I lost hope to continue writing and that could make a small part of why I dint bother to post in my blog.

So here I am turning a new leaf and trying to start my blog again.

I dunt really wanna play da tag game so all of u who tagged me sorry no tags. hehe

KEM GALA KO-KURIKULUM 2008

wah.... i noe some of you are disapointed cuz i dint update for some time already. well my apologies to u all cuz form 4 life is crzy......

back to the topic. ko kurikulum gala kem.

well i was happy to be selected to go for the camp. Nagen n pravin had to turn down the offer due to personal reasons, so they were replaced by william and weng ju.. that weekend i was going to spend in penang for my brothers civil wedding. I got back on sunday and left for the kem on monday. I wasnt sure where we were goin to stay in johor baru( yes johor baru....the kem is national level)and i dint noe exactly wat to bring. well i was packed and ready and arrived at school the next mornin. the three of us were then driven to pusat ko kuala berang. there the other reprsentatives from terengganu were gathered and we were to stay there one night b4 leaving to johor the next day. From what we were briefed on i supposed that we were goin to be staying in tents. later that night we practiced a traditional dance to be danced on the malam kebudayaan..

from terengganu there were 10 boys and 10 girls. the next mornin we left the pusat ko for johor....it was a long journey and on the way we watched the 6th day. we reached kem tasek utara johor baru at around 7 something. we were the last to reach the campsite. so we were taken immidietly to the moral session while our fellow muslim friends did their prayers. we were each given a excersise book and asked to make friends by exchanging email addreses n phone numbers... soon we were brought to the boys campsite to put up our tents. later that night we had ice breaking n group session where we had to build a tower out of straws.

the next morning

we started with aerobics and excersise n then divided into our activity groups. my first activity was high element. first we did reppeling were we climb down a wall. the next activity was the flying fox where we hang on a rope and glide over the lake. it was really fun to be able to do this activity. the next activity was the obstacle course which was fun and had alot of team work involved. that night we had the first part of the malam kebudayaan and terengganu along with sabah and a few other states danced some traditional dances. the next day we had kayaking. this was the most interesting activity as we kayaked along selat tebrau hafway to singapore in which we stopped at a small isle where the ruins of an ancient palace stood. one of the girls was traped by quick sand by almost knee height and tore her shoe before she was rescued. we then returned to the beach which was just next to the famous danga bay.

we got back and the last activity was orienteering and survival skills. however we could not complete the task of survival because heavy rain poured and it was called off. the next day was he openning ceremony for the gala and a few vips were present. there were many presentations by many different groups at the opening ceremony. later there was exibitions by various organisations. that day we were taken to see the city forest. it was more like a park

Football match

Yesterday morning at around 8am, at the ss1 football field, X-juniorz 'bertembung' wif our seniors Real F.C. i arrived around the same time as Liong. Whats he doing here? Well we got two import players from the underground team that is liong ming hui and tor chin chung. sice we were so few of us in our team i decided to play as goalkeeper. eventhough i have experience im not an accomplished goal keeper to the likes of jim and chung. I stopped playing gk for more than 6 months alredi cuz i broke my hand last year.

The game started fine until real fc scored past me. wat to do i aint gud at goalkeeping. luckily chu boon sern managed to capitalize for us. the game continued until they scored again. blame the defence of only one person that is willert yee. how can i cover the whole goal when two strikers are attacking and no more defence left. however thanks to liong who manage to convert a pass from dunno who into a goal. few minutes later our defence increased to 2 when hong wei arrived. however he arrived with a setback, he wasnt feelin so well. nvmd that, after a few minutes there was the halftime break. I ask my players to take more chances at scoring. we missed a lot of chances to shoot during the first half.

the second half begins.

alls well until real are attacking and its so crowded i cant see a thing and a shot comes whizzing into the goal. oh damn we concieved another goal. meanwhile at the other side of the field we missed at least five open goals. what a sad thing to happen. thankfully liong again manages to equalise for us. everything was fine cuz the game was goin to finish. then our defence increased to 3 when nagen showed up. we thought ok a draw will do. But then our worst fear came true when nagen made a stupid and terrible mistake which cost us the game. big time

as real fc midfielder Chua wei jim was bringing up the ball along nagens side, nagen went up to him after a while jim manged to get past him. we ask nagen to chase jim but i dunno wat went into him to make him stop and let jim have a free cross to suraj. the denders were all shocked at nagens behaviour and were all helpless as suraj rammed the volley straight into the goal. Gan as the captain was shouting at nagen at his foolishness. so was pravin and a few others.

the game was played beautifully with the likes of LIm wei lin showing some nice wing display. weng ju too also had a few chances. overall it was a great game except for the sore thumb which is nagens mistake. we hope to play real fc again soon and hope to win and also to improve our games so we can have a chance at winning the coveted LCDS tournament...
