The end of July

Here comes the end of July!! I have been "wasting" my precious 7 months since my A level finished. And I am waiting to my admission to NTU by the end of August. So I still have only one month to go!! I really need to cherish this month very much before the school reopens. Otherwise i think i might regret for the rest of my time.LOL..
This is the period that I am the freest. Soon after that, I will not be able to enjoy such a long and wonderful rest and holiday again. As I have to rush for lecture, tutorials, assignments, and exams. After I graduate, I have to work ASAP to earn money! Because I need to get paid to return my loan as fast as possible.
So, I have to cherish everything, everytime, and everywhere for now!!

世界杯症候群

又是一个月没更新我的部落格了，结果被博城念了一下。我跟他说我会尽量去解决“这个问题”，所以我现在是在“解决问题”了。但是我想来想去都没什么特别的东西分享，而这一个月里，我都在关注四年一度的世界杯，所以只好说说世界杯观后感了。如果觉得很沉闷，那就只好先说声对不起啦！哈哈。还有就是一下纯属个人意见和观后感，并没有特别的偏见和争对。（可能有些有啦~）

四年一度的世界杯终于在南非隆重开幕了。其实我一向来都有关注足球的新闻，但也不是太了解和着迷或是追看，通常都是从报纸要不然就是我表姐的孩子口中了解的。他一向在家都有追看足球比赛，特别是英超的比赛，而我从我懂事以来接触最多的也是英超的新闻了。而且我相信英超的新闻出现在我们日常生活中的报纸比例也是相当高的。

其实要说懂足球，我是被我大姐影响的。自从我懂事以来，我就是从她的身上知道曼联，阿申纳，切尔西这些球队，然后开始有留意足球的新闻，也开始慢慢看足球赛了。我还记得那时最出名的球星莫过于David Beckham了。然后渐渐的，我认识了吉斯，欧文，特里，费迪南，等等。然后才知道比利和马拉多纳。然后又认识了皇家马德里，巴塞罗那，和拜仁墨尼黑。因为这里都是很多球星的聚集地。包括我的卡卡，卡西拉斯和Fabregas！

以往的世界杯，我并没有特别地去注意，只是特别留意那个国家的了冠军，亚军，谁得了金靴奖等等。最叫我记得的只是上届基丹的“铁头功”，结果法国输给了意大利。那时还轰动一时呢！再来就是上两届德国打进决赛吧。再再来就是巴西的罗纳尔多和罗纳艼荷了，那时候的他们可是超级球星！以我的年纪，也没记得那么多届的世界杯，因为世界杯四年才举办一次，所以我大概也只记得前两届的。今年的世界杯可是我最关注的了，因为今年的我是闲人一个，有很多时间去追踪和观看比赛，因为今年的世界杯赛事都是在半夜或凌晨现场直播的，所以我是最有资格去看球赛的！不过其实今年的世界杯还没开打前，我没那么兴致勃勃的，而是突然有一天跟大姐聊天，她就问我了一些关于世界杯的东西，那是我还还蛮喜欢这届世界杯的主题曲，所以就聊起了看足球赛。大姐那时刚好学校放假一个礼拜，她就说了要半夜两点半起来看球赛。我当时吓了一跳，因为我以为只有我会为了羽球赛而疯狂，没想到大姐也会为了足球赛而疯狂。我还连连问他是不是认真的，如果是我是愿意奉陪到底的。结果在那一个星期里，小组赛开打了，我们也选择性地在半夜里起来看球赛，不过我们看的大多是巴西，英格兰的，令我很懊恼得就是很多西班牙的球赛都没有转播！但是我想我们应该是很幸运的了，能够看到免费的现场转播，新加坡人可是要花好多钱订购才能看的！值得一提的是我家楼上的TV1 受得很不好，蒙蒙的，所以每次半夜两点半要起来看球，还得事先那好锁匙，开门到楼下看球。然后过了那一个星期，大姐开始要教书了，所以就没在半夜起来看球了，而我就只好半夜一个人到楼下看球了，想想还真是可怕得要命！我还要搬我的笔记型电脑下去一起陪我，要不然我可是怕得回胡思乱想的！哈哈。。过后总算要到了半决赛了，新加坡的五频道就开始现场转播这些球赛，而我也不用一个人到楼下去追球了！

今年的世界杯，我是主要是支持西班牙和巴西这两支队伍，但是我也有追看阿根廷，德国，和英格兰的赛事，毕竟英格兰的足球队是陪着我成长的“青梅竹马”，还有就是这几支球队的球技都是一流的，是非常值得观看的。在追看这次的世界杯时，最遗憾的就是巴西的提前退出。那次我没得看到现场直播，所以是通过FIFA的官方网站看LIVESCORE的，虽然没有很精彩，但是好过没有！对于巴西的开局领先，我是很高兴的，因为我本来打算在两个小时后才看TV2的延迟转播，但是越看就越失落，最后因为巴西的出局而失落，也提前在看了那个巴西的进球后就睡觉了。但是从整体来看，巴西踢得很不错了，可能就是欠缺了一些运气，因为美罗一个乌龙球，又被红卡罚下，真是赔了夫人又折兵。巴西出局了，我就能专心的支持我的西班牙队了。很多人很好奇我为什么会支持西班牙队，我也说不上来，就因为这支球队拥有很多我非常欣赏的球员，好像casillas, fabregas, david villa, torres, iniesta, puyol等等。与其说他们是球员，倒不如说他们是球星！因为他们不止球技好，人又长得帅！看他们踢球简直就是种享受，非常养眼！哈哈。。

第一场看的球赛是开幕赛，就是墨西哥对垒东道主南非。一开踢，我就被南非的“嗡嗡祖啦”吓坏了。全场非常热闹，声音简直就像一大群的蜜蜂飞来飞去的声音，恐怖极了！好想有股冲动把声音关掉，就只看球！好不容易撑完了90分钟，开幕赛一比一握手言和。接下来就是其他小组赛了。。再来，我看了英格兰的第一场球赛，是对阵美国。我晚了五分钟起来，结果杰拉德就在第四分钟时进球了，但我没看到！然后就是看到了格林“黄油手”的那一幕！简直把我气煞了。。原本我还以为只是抓不稳，还没进球，但皮球就洋洋洒洒地滚了进去！就这样，英格兰一比一和美国踢和了。事后很多人都责怪格林，甚至嘲笑他的“黄油手”，也让它失去了首发的机会。过后就是巴西对垒朝鲜。撇开我支持巴西队，我对这场赛事十分好奇的，因为世界杯前，很多人都对朝鲜的晋级很意外，而且朝鲜队训练也很秘密，好像天机不可泄漏一样，这也让这场球赛增添了一点悬念，所以我很期待这场球赛。结果球赛真的很精彩，但是世界第一，技高一筹的巴西队还是以三比一胜出。当中就看到了麦肯的零角度进球！我当时还以为球是不可能会进去的，而且还会打中门柱。结果皮球就这样漂亮地闪进去了！真是太漂亮了！接下来的一些球赛我就没什么特别印象了。但是我对西班牙的球赛就还满意的，我觉得david villa 真的是很幸运，每次皮球打中门柱后都会落到他的脚下，只要他提脚劲射，就能破关！两场球赛都是一样，一比零小胜对手。而torres就没那么幸运了，久久都没进球，好像很软弱。。卡西拉斯就很神勇了，打从淘汰赛开始就没让对手破网，整场世界杯7场比赛只让对手踢进2球！真不愧是我心目中的第一门神！我也是因为他而开始喜欢皇家马德里和西班牙的。他果真没让我失望。世界杯的大决赛更是巅峰神勇，连连扑抢成功，保住自家大门！最后终于以大热门的姿态历史性夺得大力神杯！我真的是高兴极了！

这次的世界杯让我最失望的就是荷兰队了。 我一直都认为他们也是有实力的。他们踢的是防守型的，而西班牙是全面型的，能攻能守。这会是一场非常精彩的决赛。但是我真的对荷兰队有点失望，因为他们踢得很失风度。防守时胡乱犯规，踢法狠劲，原本还可能会被红卡二度罚下。对着主裁判大声叫骂，甚至在西班牙进球后冲着裁判大声叫骂摔皮球！这样真的很不尊重球赛也很失风度。。不过我也有想到，在比赛的压力下，力拼到了120分钟，个个都体力透支了，精神也没那么集中，要想赢球唯有靠大家的意志力和EQ了，而西班牙在最关键的最后几分钟进球了。这就足以让身心疲累，体力透支的荷兰队爆发了。关于这一点， 我也有经历过，所以我认为那是正常的，但是踢球最重要的还是风度和体育精神，要不然最后也赢得不光彩。

南非世界杯，捧红了很多新秀，过后很多球员也会开始忙度假，忙转会，忙结婚。当然最重要的就是捧红了神算八爪鱼-保罗！保罗现在可是“红人”了。大家可以不知道谁得了冠军或是亚军，但是大家不会不认识保罗。我想就因为世界杯，很多人会很想把保罗杀了来煮sambal sotong，尤其是德国人。因为保罗身为“德国人”，竟然预测出西班牙会在对垒德国是胜出，结果还真是如此！由于它的预测成功率是百分之一百，很多人可是对它哭笑不得的。世界杯除了踢球之外，当然还需要这类的“饭后甜点”来点缀我们的生活。就好比说今年世界杯的主题曲还有这支八爪鱼了！

最后，我觉得其实足球赛并不是很多人所说的那样沉闷的，足球有足球的有趣，虽然说90分钟里看20个人为了争一粒球而跑来跑去好像很荒谬，但是很多人不知道，要把足球踢好也是一件很难的事。而我们欣赏的就是球员们的球技，风度，造型等等。这项全世界都疯狂的体育真的会把很多人推向高峰，也能够把人摔入谷底。西班牙球队真的是一直令人欣赏的球队，他们的胜利，全世界都接受，都为他们高兴！但愿西班牙能够再接再厉，另创高峰！胜不骄，败不馁，大家继续努力，四年后，我们巴西见！哈哈！

又是一个月

It has been one month again that I never update my blog. For these few weeks, I was busy learning driving at BP. And finally I passed my driving test on 31st MAY. It was JW's birthday also and I think she brought me luck also:-P

I just contemplated about the reason I seldom update my blog these few weeks and I found out a reason I think. It's because I found nothing much to share on my blog as I am still on holidays! Unlike ETC and other friends like yu hui, they all have things to talk about on blogs. Actually, I very look forward to my uni life ahead! Now, I feel like I do nothing at home and I am useless. But I think for the next few weeks ahead, I will be busy settling my university admission matters.

Last Saturday, I finally had a family trip to Sentosa and Universal Studios. It was a happy and exciting trip ever. We encountered many weird and unlucky things during our trip. First and foremost, we got the tickets for USS which have not yet reached the dates. So, we could not enter the USS. As the guide tried to solve the problem, we waited outside the USS for nearly one and a half hour! Finally, we got into the USS by lunch time...We enjoyed fun time inside the USS.
By the evening, we gotta go home by 6pm. Unfortunately, we kept procrastinating until we got onto the bus by 7pm. The driver then decided to go through Causeway instead of Tuas second link. So, we had a terrible traffic jam as we're heading to causeway. As we reached the M'sia custom, the guide brought us to the wrong place to wait for the bus!!And again, we reached City Square which we could not get onto our bus. Luckily, we met a nice policeman who generously (actually is his duty to do so) brought us back to the place that we should be. It was about 920pm already. When we got onto the bus, the guide found that there're two people who had lost their way and they're shopping inside City Square!! OMG...So , we had to wait them again...
After we had finally started our journey again, there was a terrible traffic jam again. And then we suspected there should be accident or fire ahead as we saw three fire engines and one ambulance passing by. We sigh...In the end, we finally reached Lucky Garden by 1130pm and all of us on the bus had not yet taken our dinner! And then We headed to SHUN JI HOTEL to have our dinner. By the time we reached home, it was 1pm.

It was truly an exciting and fun adventure ever I think!

读书的美好

没读书上课的日子已经过了四个多月了。大多数的时间都留在家里帮忙，只是其中的一个月当了一个月的代课老师，算是打工了。。这段时间的休息除了让我好好的放松心情，也让我发觉到我是想念读书的日子的。但是这美丽的日子对我来说不多了，大概也只剩下四五年，还真有些舍不得的。。想起以前小时候一直想快点长大做工，时常扮大人，但是现在却好想停留在这段时间，一直这样下去。我非常想念中五和在初级学院的日子，虽然这几年都读书读得很辛苦，但是时光真的确是非常美好的。就是这段时间，我和知心朋友们开始学习长大，一起搞活动，一起为成绩努力，一起玩闹，一起出游，一起做了很多有意义的事情。我想也是刚好长大成小大人的日子，让我们真正体会到珍惜的重要性，也开始变得感性了很多。 每次我们出外喝茶，总会聊到很多以前很难忘的事情，因为这些都是我们美好的回忆。我真的很高兴，在读书期间能够拥有一些真正的知心朋友，陪着我一起成长，分享读书的美好，互相帮助，惺惺相惜。真的谢谢你们！

大家，当你们看到这篇的时候，希望你们和我的心情是一样的。珍惜你们身边的人，珍惜你们有过的美好时光。

Woohoo!!
I have also quite a long time never update my blog. Recently just get scolded by Nong for not updating my blog. It's a bit upset because I promise to manage my blog properly once I change my blog here.

I have been jobless again for 6 days. It just becomes my normal days before-sleep, eat and internet. I intend to learn driving before I get into University soon but until now I still take no action on that. And my parents rush me to get a driving license ASAP also. I intend to do so, but no one is accompany me..I want to wait for Nong also, but she can't make herself available within this few months. I feel a bit upset to go alone as like there's no motivation and will feel lonely. That's why I drag this issue until now. But I think I should take action tomorrow and get it done faster so that I won't worry so much about this matter again and can drive in front of the police.lol

I am so looking forward to this coming weekend as there's a family gathering held in my house. All Au's family plus my cousin's family will attend this gathering. There will be a lot of food like BBQ, and satay celup etc..I think so far, what I look forward to is the food!!lol
But it's true that it has been quite a long time that we never gather together to have BBQ together. I remember last time we had BBQ was just before my A level exam..So now, I feel so relieve to gather now!!

Really hope that this weekend will come soon and passes slower...:-D

Diary for 30.3.2010

Tue-raining
I left only eight days before i stop teaching in SMKYP.Unwittingly, I have been teaching in SMKYP for (to be accurate) 16 days. There are sweet and sour moment. Everyday is a challenging day! I have to say that, nowadays the students are no longer as last time. At least they're disciplined and well-behaved more than now. Can we imagine the time we had when we're still secondary students a few years ago? Now, the students can just ignore the teachers, no matter how hard they teach. They're walking along the corridor when their lessons are still going on. They play truant just like we have rice for meals. They vandalise school's properties without thinking much of the consequences. Everyday, the teachers have to deal with these problems. Being a secondary teacher is really a tough task. However, there are still something that I find interesting from teaching. It's really a good experience.

One week holidays ahead.

Yeah, finally I have one week holiday for me to have enough rest and concern about my application to universities. Recently I found little time to watch out with application so it's my time to concern about my future now..

Fri-Last day in school before vacation. Heard that there will be spot check by the prefects in school. Many students suddenly approached me and asked me to help them to keep their handphone. Of course, I never help them. I just wonder how dare they ask me to help them since I can report them to discipline master. Nowadays, students just behave like that..no discipline and not showing respect to teachers..I feel it's hard to teach secondary's children anymore..I can only know the hardship of being a teacher after i gain experience myself. Everyday, we can see students get caught by their parents for playing computer games in cyber cafe. Not only that, they are ignorant towards teachers and even ask teachers to go and die!!..We really can't imagine that if we never be a teacher before i guess.
Also, I helped teachers to move their place to new house!!Never thought that I can witness this incident and get involved in it. The new place is air-conditioned. I guess it would be a good place to stay in for teachers.:-)
Sat-All sisters came back from their places. One from KL and one from SG. Mummy cooked penang laksa and we enjoyed it very much. There left a lot of leftover and we asked friends to help us to finish it.
Sun(today)-My cousin's whole family came to my house. Every year, they will gather at my house during QING MING JIE. This year, they came earlier because there's one week holiday ahead. My house was filled with people today. Busy chatting with them...
Now, I feel so tired and I want to sleep!
Our dearest Datuk Lee Chong Wei will be fighting for All England Champion in his history! Hope he can make it to the last although my LIN DAN lost before reaching finals!!JIAYOU!!
