the brotherhood

With Jiao Lian's last training for the year just tomorrow, I now retreat into a state of deep thought. Perhaps it is the emotions that cloud my once swell-headed mind. Only now do we realise how important Jiao Lian was to us and how we let slip by the many opportunities of gold we had. Eg. The C division "semi-final" match against Hwa Ching where I shot 21 shots over the crossbar though Jiao Lian asked me to drop it to the centreman. Because of that we lost. 6-3. Just 3 goals. Obviously it's too late to repent for our wrongdoings and ignorance throughout ours and Jiao Lian's term in RI but now what I feel is most important is that we continue to work hard for our next common objective. THE B division final. Sure, it may be quite a daunting task taking into consideration that we are playing close to 9 Sec 3s and only about 6 Sec 4s but still, with hard work, perserverance and determination I'm sure that we'll be able to do it. After all, that was just what Jiao Lian was asking for this entire time we were under his coaching. Simply asking for some hard work and of course, just to pay attention to what he had to say. Just like the match itself, when you shoot the ball over the crossbar, you carry on swimming, swimming so dam fast for the counter attack. So that's what we're gonna do. We shot the ball over the crossabr many times but this time...It's gonna be a heck of a counter attack.

Bleeding scabs and blistered fingers at bowling today. Though it wasn't too bad with scores of 168, 160 and 171. More shifting today as well. Just now I kicked off a scab and the pain was kinda suckish. So damn man. Hurts.Just found out something really interesting today regarding a certain relationship but i shan't disclose anything.
Anyway that's more or less it for today. Nice song by The Cab. It's called Bounce.
The lips that slip
Are the lips that press
And the lips that leak
Seem to know you best
I put bodies into motion Keep this skin out in the open
Liars turn me on
Bed spread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And threw mine to the sky
Bounce Bounce baby, Bounce back to me (You don't need this)
Bounce bounce baby, Bounce back to me (You don't need this)
This is it, Call it quits with honesty (You don't need this)
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me
The lies that tied your tongue in knots
Are the words that grew to hit my spots
So filthy, Dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on
Bed spread bandit since '89
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And threw mine to the sky
Bounce Bounce baby, Bounce back to me (You don't need this)
Bounce bounce baby, Bounce back to me (You don't need this)
This is it, Call it quits with honesty (You don't need this)
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me
Bounce bounce, baby (Bounce bounce, baby)
Bounce bounce, baby (Bounce bounce, baby)
So filthy, Dialed desire
Swallowed pride but spit out fire
Liars turn me on
Bounce Bounce baby, Bounce back to me (You don't need this)
Bounce bounce baby, Bounce back to me (You don't need this)
This is it, Call it quits with honesty (You don't need this)
Every word is a curse let loose on me
Your mouth it moves but fails to speak
And when you use your lips they better be on me

Hokay, so firstly, a belated merry christmas and happy boxing day! Oh, 987 deejays say you should say merry christmas and not merry xmas. Cos it's supposed to be a dang lazy way of saying it. Oh and when I was young, I always though Boxing day meant like...you know, Muhammad Ali kind of boxing. And that always led me to wonder how in the world they could beat each other up right after Christmas. But that was in the past so yay. Oh gee, Christmas season was actually kinda mundane this year cos I still had some side effects from the sickness on 24th. So that kinda sucked. Erm, for Christmas Eve, because I was so sick, I slept...ALOT. I think. 16 hours. Or so. Fortunately on Christmas day I felt better so I could go for mass which was sooper early, at 7am, that's no way to treat a post-illness 14 year old boy. Pity me. But after that, I got my parents to send me home first to sleep more before going to catch Yesman at 150. Yesman is seriously awesome and you should go catch it too before its over. It's the bomb. And so is my new phone, Mr W902, sleek design, volcanic black exterior, with a 5.0 megapixel camera similar to alomst every cybershot sony ericsson phone, and of course not forgetting the awesome bass on the walkman with google maps. it's totally cool. I'm not sure if that coutns as my Christmas gift, however. I still wanna get Left 4 Dead.That was pretty much yesterday, for today it's training (which was just over), and abit of moving later on to our now renovated house (WOO-HOO). And i don't think KFC immediately after you've completely recovered from your sickness is very good now, is it? I sure hope I don't fall sick again by the time tomorrow comes.
P.S. I saw this 14/15 year old couple today, and it was quite weird for them to be brave enough to hold hands etc all in the eys of the public, but still, kinda sweet and hey, gotta say was a lil' jealous. But oh well, no rush, aye? :D
hot stuff,
daryl.

Christmas is approachinggggggggggggg. It's gonna be fun fun fun although I have no pressies this year. I think my present may just be a restringing of my guitar xp My string snapped on me on Sunday. Boohoo D: Oh well, it's supposed to be done on Saturday anyway so yeah. I was playing Good Riddance (Time of your Life) by Green Day. Really good song though really old.And guess what? Daryl Cheng didn't leave Singapore this year! Looking at all the fabulous and posh facebook pictures of friends going to various places such as Japan and China and Europe and US etc just makes me so envious! Especially Japan. I mean...for the sake of Santa Claus (hohoho) it snows there, zomg how unfair. I went to Switzerland last year and there was snow on the mountain but that was just a one time stop over. Eh, good thing there's no Christmas training. Nobody would like training as a present. Hmm, come to think of it, I'll be packing a lot all this week. I'm gonna move back to my house which is done with renovations and it looks AWESOME. I can't wait to move back in. And then there's gonna be "housewarming" which me and my sis have to settle because we're planning to invite both our friends on the same day. And that won't work. I went to school today to get my long pants as well, size 30. Super baggy. Maybe it's cause I'm used to slim fit jeans (not skinnies, I don't wear them).
Hmm, as for now, it's off to do some Christmas
Hot for teacher by Van Halen, anyone? :D
Yours,
Cheng.

Woah. Apparently today we, the B division of '09 have given jiao lian his best training in all his years of RI because of our attitude. Whoo hoo. But our captain has just said it's prbably just emotional. Oh well. Anyway, I've been like PSP-ing. And playing cards is fun. Especially at the Have fun

Ha. Today's training was fun. We lost the practice 6 on 5 drill like 6-4 and 7-3 . But my shot blocks were on form! So that's great because usually they're not. And I can like tread water higher now, to my ribcage area and maintain there. If you talk about jumping then water level slightly below trunks. (Shit, I hope it doesn't get worse,it's painful.)Anyway, Acs (I) have some kitkat thing during their drill. So, we have come up with Snickers..or is it Tea BuBa. I think it's both. Although it doesn't really mean anything =.= And the breaking news is that Daryl Cheng has completed his book review. Thanks. Awesome. 1.1k words. That's like half of Ming Kang's though. Damn.Gah, tomorrow's training. 4th last with Jiao Lian. I hate it.

Whoa ho, I got a super cool cut across the pool gutter yesterday! In fact, it got infected. 
Sorry about the quality though, I used my 2MP camera phone. Anyway, I'm gonna be changing to a w902 soon so yay! Ok, if you can see the small bit of black there, that's the infected skin, it looks way blacker in real life. It's clearer in the first one by the way. Basically what happened is we were playing soccer and I just slipped, didn't even know I was cut until I looked down at my leg and felt a surge of pain run through my body. But i still went for training today! Brave boy eh? Oh and i have very very sad news...Jiao Lian will NOT be coaching next year, it seriously is...screwed. I suddenly feel really horrible for the fact that we haven't really been training properly all this while and now the school board wants to get a new coach we haven't been doing well enough. **** it. If we didn't have to give up the pool to swimmers, would it be this way? I don't hell think so. This is probably the worst piece of news I could ever recieve, i don't care what the new coach says, I'm gonna do what jiao lian has been teaching us and I'm gonna do it well, so well that he'll find that Superman really is super. God have mercy. And thanks for everything jiao lian.
Anyway, I wanna watch Yesman...any takers?
Monday, December 15, 2008
Hmmm, maybe I SHOULD take the first step.Hokay. Eh, firstly, I am disappointed that our jiao lian went back to China for goodness knows how long and now we have another coach to take over temporarily...it just won't be the same with out the "diu li ma"s and "fuck ni ma"s. Sorry for blogging the vulgarities I'm just making a point. Okay...moving on.
Anyway, I've managed to complete my Gears of War 2 on Hardcore. Yay. Guitar Hero World Tour is super fun but I suck at the drums, like really...suck. But guitar is quite okay especially when you have some experience in the field xD
Well, with regards to holiday work...I've been doing 30 Maths questions, 5 days a week!! WOOHOO. And I just borrowed a chinese book from the library today to start on my book review, the book is only 120 pages long but oh well nobody gives a shit, aye? :D
Ohoh, somebody returned from Europe a few days back so just..."welcome home"! Though I've said it to you already. Oh yeah, on Friday there was cathecism class outing! I shall not bother blogging about it because everything is on Marissa's blog, so are photos...links at the side there --------->
Took alot of photos though haha and I am a epic phail as a camwhore, boohoo. And I owe Marissa an awesome post. Cos she did one for me too. Haha. Let's go man. I think I'll just do one of those poem thingys where each letter stands for something. Duh, A is gonna be awesome :D
Miss Guitar disciple
Awesome
Ready to be there for me when I'm down, aye?
Independent young lady
Siao friend xD
Sweet and caring!
Always so energetic
Okay, I totally crapped my way through that but it took me time to time to think of those okay! have fun! On a a side note, I am offically overly fatigued and stressed. I've been getting dizzy spells when I stand up and I can't swim for more than two hours without feeling like vomitting and fainting. I'm kinda scared but I'm hoping this'll pass with more rest. Well, as for now, I think I'm gonna sign off, I need to read my Chinese book and do my Maths, and there's training tonight which I'm definitely not gonna enjoy because I'm feeling dizzy again...sigh.

Of late it seems that certain people have been impostering as me on various cboxes. Now, everybody knows who the real Daryl is. Me. Or wait. I'm Cheng.Anyway, going back to the point. Those imposters are quiet stupid. Just use your god-given own name, unless you give a stupid comment like the one on a certain somebody's blog that says I (Daryl) am a wanker. Yeah...no. It's okay. Kids these days are really childish. And also for anons insulting others on their cboxes, you can insult me all you want. Put on the cbox. Put it for the world to see. I'm not gonna delete it. People who see it will just know that you have extremely lousy parents who don't give a shit of what you're doing and that you have a totally lousy upbringing. Wake up kids, you aren't the only ones in this world. It's about time you started paying attention to the people around you and also time you started acting more maturely. The world doesn't revolve around vulgarities you know, money maybe but sure as hell not vulgarities and insults. So don't go around cursing and swearing beacuse its bad. Get it? If not, read through this once more. if you don't wanna listen, fine by me. I'm not the one that's gonna disappoint my parents and people in general when they find out you're the ones doing it. I have nothing more to say. So please, just do yourself a favour. Snap out of it. To all those whom I possibly spammed your tagboards with scoldings to the various insulters, I'm sorry. I just can't tolerate this kind of shit.

Damn, it's December and I haven't started on my book review! Sweet Jesus son of Mother Mary help me.Oh, today there was a rather interesting dialogue between Yongjin and Ming Kang...
YJ: "Why you take trip science +geog? It's such a mugger combination."
MK: "yeah, so?"
YJ: "And you are not a mugger."
Everyone: "=.="
MK IS a mugger. Obviously he'll deny it but hey a 3.53-3.6 GPA is quite mugger-ish okay. To me that is. What can I say? 3.33 with PSP before the EOYs? Not too shabby! If I had studied, 4.0...EASY. Which reminds me of the bet Ryan had. 4.0 or your balls, bitch.
Oh yeah, I'm eating healthy now. Today at KFC I traded up my coleslaw to a SALAD. So awesome. Not that bad tasting either! Except onions. I hate onions. Oh! I started on holiday revision already. ONZ. I did like 30 Maths questions today, damn, I didn't know I had it in me. Er, other than that, been playing Team Fortress 2! It's the most ownage game ever (with a 'z'). If you know, what I'm talking about in the next paragraph, you play TF2...too.
Basically, Heavy is my favourite, next to Spy. Kinda ironic as Spy is more conservative while Heavy is a "burn your house down, bitch" kind of character, if you get my drift. Reason being all you need to do for Heavy is...follow your medic, when you see/hear gunshots, rev up the minigun and when you see them, it's go time baby. provided you don't get backstabbed by a spy. Which goes on to why I like spies. Today, I disguised as a pro Demoman from the other team and the other team medic was stupid enough to heal me until it reached ubercharge, which is a state of invulnerability, after which I just turned and backstabbed. Three kills, all cloaking and backstabbing. Nice. have fun deciphering that non-TF2 players.
For people who play Gears of War or just want a good laugh...

Basically, the black guy talking is supposed to be a very gung-ho character so what he says is really funny. Together with the wet blanket bolnde guy, this clip is hilarious. have fun.
