piling, piling, piling

Very long since the last post. Have kinda been inactive from blogging, distracted by other things. Anyway, about those other things. They include homework, scrabble, guitar, exams, church activities and friendly occasions. The work load is piling up as the days go by.
Okay, let me just sum up what you've missed in this life of mine.

I went for the Chelsea game at the Bukit Jalil stadium. caught a glimpse of the star-studded team. Peter Cech, Joe Cole, Lampard, Shevchenko, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Deco, Ballack and the rest of them. The atmosphere was crazy, expecially as the Chelsea team steeped out on to the field. Peter Cech was the first one and it was a standing ovation eventhough it was only one player. A friend of mine had a pair of binoculars and I actually used it to look at Peter Cech's ass while he did his warmups. LoL, yeah I know its kinda sick but oh well, I only see them once in a long time so why not do everything i can while I have the chance? xP
Basically, had a blast at the stadium. Malaysia played well but still ended up losing 2-0. Great game though and great experience personally for me as I have never really seen like big name people like that of the Chelsea team first hand, you know. So yeah, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Moving on, I just went for a scrabble tournament lately, qualifier to be exact. Oh well, did pretty okay ending up 2nd again for the second year running and still playing second fiddle to Suanne again for the second year running. At least the most important thing was to get my butt into the malaysian lineup for this years WYSC2008 at Penang in December. I hope to do well this year, or at least better than the previous two years. Bring some money back home ! and possibly a trophy and goodies along with it. We'll see!

We're still going.... So, I had one of my biggest test so far. You know how I said that my biggest dream is to one day play and sing on a stage filled with thousands of people and just serenate to them? Well, I kinda got a taste of how it feels like to play in front of a huge crowd. I was playing for a cell group function for my youth group and coincidentally we combined with another group so I actually did a head count and it was 29 people ( okay maybe its far off from thousands of people but still.. ) Yeah it was a little scary at first but once I got into the mood I think it went pretty well. I got some feedback from my friends about how I did and apparently I did quite well ( they actually said this, I"m not making it up xP ). O'well, as they say, you have to take baby steps before you get to the Big One!!

I think those are the three big significant things that happened to me over this few months. Sorry can't add any more, don't have the time. Oh yeah, so you know.. I've picked up quite a number of songs on the guitar. Lemme see...

Hero ( enrique Iglesias )
More than words (extreme)
Tear drops of my guitar (tear drops of my guitar)
My Love (backstreetboys)
When you say nothing at all (ronan Keating)

Those are a few of the songs that I've learnt. So many more, can't quite name them, maybe someday if I'll perform one of them then you'l come see huh? Can't wait to learn more. kinda exciting I feel.
Amidst of all this things happening, exams are drawing near so I have to buck up on my studies and I mean REALLY buck up ony my studies. Don't wanna do as badly as I did last term round, so anyway I will catch up with you guys asap and till next time peoplez..
