hurdles ar' coming

yeah yeah.. been ages since i blogged but who could blame me? I'm passing time as if it was moving at 10 seconds per second ( if you get what I mean ). One minute it's 9 am, *snap* it's 5 pm already. Phew!! time just doesnt wait for me. I guess it doesn't wait for anyone. Oh well, I will just have to make do with what I've got.
It's been 3 months going into 2008. People have come and gone by, things have been done, places have been visited... so many things happening within this period yet so little is felt for any of them. It literally means, I've yet to do something memorable this year. have you? I hope you have, cause this three months just passed in a blink of any eye. Blink three more times and there goes year 2008. I mean seriously, you would want to remember something from it once its gone. Okay, I hope you don't mind me being all sentimental and mushy but I guess this time calls for it. You don't often see me in this situations but yeah, I've just been doing lots of daydreaming and thinking.
Anyway, breaking into April 2008. Birthday's coming up, so is mine ! I'm sixteen this year, can you believe that? sweet sixteen yeah i know. It's suppose to be special, so I'll try to make it one.
Besides that, I've also got a scrabble tourney just around the corner, followed by a futsal tournemant, multiple church activities and responsibilities ( oh did I tell you that I'm into a leader's training course? which means more things and resposibilities to do) and two consecutive weeks of worship leading. And with my test results from march's monthy test coming out bad, I've really got to buckle up on my studies or I'm in for a tough ride in form 4 ahead. Juggling all this is gonna be tough but I'll try my best not to get all entangled up in it. That's life I guess, trying to live it to the fullest. I will have to see y'all next week cause its getting late here.. will try to be more consistent with my blogging.
good night

they're off

hey people
my parents are finally off on their cruise with my uncle paolo and aunty sally for a few days. I guess I have the house all to myself. Although there is this creature of a sister living with me in it. - sigh -
And as you all know, my cousin and grand aunt has left for Italy last week. It was saddening to watch them leave but I guess you have to let go sometimes. - huge sigh -
One thing I can take positive from this past week is the fact that Arsenal drew 2-2 with Birmingham and MU smashed Newcastle 5-1 to narrow the gap between the two rivals to 3 points. kekekeke
It's just been a busy week and I don't really have much to say for now but I promise it will be a more eventful week next week. see y'all soon

Is it worth it?

Hey you guys,
As you all know, it was Valentine's Day yesterday. It wasn't really filled with commotion on my side although it did end pretty well. It all started from a tiny empty conversation that lead from one thing to another which resulted in something exciting and new. Oh well, I'm not gonna tell you guys what it is just yet as I'm taking the situation a step at a time. I hope the decision I made was worth as much as I think it is. I don't wanna be regretting it a few months later.
Tomorrow's gonna be a super busy day. I'm having church training courses in the morning, XYZ ( Xtraordinary Youth Zone ) after that, regular celebration at 5 pm, followed by attending a dinner for uncle's birthday. And once all that is over, I'm going off to my cousins house to overnight for a day so that I can ask him some Add Math's questions that just absolutely puzzles me. xPxP
Oh and by the way, don't forget to catch MANCHESTER UNITED v ARSENAL in the FA Cup 5th round on Saturday night, or rather Sunday morning 1.15am. It promises a supreme game of pure football and artistry from both sets of players. I can't wait for it!
It's drawing nearer to midnight, I think I better bunk it now before I go all drowsy for tomorrow's early morning training at 8.00 am!!
good night fella's

saying goodbye seems to be the hardest word

It has become a rather tradition nowadays that I say goodbye to almost everyone that I've know for sometime. * huge sigh *
The person you know who is leaving on the 19th of February and I ain't even got the chance to see her again. How sad, no? If only we all could meet and do our fun group thing again. Anyway, I guess we'll just see on how that plans out won't we?
My cousin Marina is leaving with nona Elsa on the 18th of Feb. Gosh, It's so soon and probably too soon for my liking but I have to accept it. Uncle Paolo and aunty Sally are gonna enjoy themselvess a little bit more before they take off back to Italy next month. All I wanted to do was spend good last moments with these people. Oh well, at least I did spend some time with them. Urgh, if only the day at 48 hours instead of 24.
Away from all the drama, I'll be getting my rm 200 this tuesday for excellent achievement in the recent PMR. Lol, thank God my year had to fall on the same year of the election thingy. That's one plus side to this solemn week. Oh and today is Valentine's Day ! So I'd like to wish all of y'all Happy Valentine's Day! You don't have to spend time with just your lover, but rather with those whom you love and cherish your time with. That's what I plan to do. x)
Oh well, I've gotta go and complete my Physics assignment. I'll see y'all real real soon now.
good night

Icing on the cake for CNY 2008

yo my peeps.
CNY 2008 is drawing to a close and "wow" so many things has happened over the past week that I can't believe it's only been a week. If only CNY was much longer than it is. - sigh -
As you'll know from the picture above that my relatives from Italy came to visit the family after a decade or so apart. It's been wonderful so far having them with us and the bond never grew apart despite the long distance between the families. I love that. That's my uncle Paolo lying on the floor, my sweet cousin Marina ( 1st row middle ), her grandmother or as we call her "nona" in Italian ( 2nd row from the left ) and my dear auntie Sally ( 3rd row 4th from the left ). It's been a blast spending time with them. Uncle Paolo hasn't changed much from the last time I saw him. H'e still the same cool big guy I knew back then. Marina however changed so much from the annoying brat who used to pull my hair ( if i can remember correctly ) to this wonderful pretty girl she is today. Personality wise I'm not so sure but so far she seems nice. She has been teaching me italian. HaHa!!! I've even been conversing with nona in italian for the past few days. Who knows, I might end up in Italy one day and this will all come in handy after all.
Sadly though, Marina and nona are leaving on the 18th of February because Marina has to resume her schooling back in roma. - BiG SiGh - If only she could spend more time here, then all of the cuzzes could spend just a little bit more time catching up. Oh well, I guess I'll try to earn some cash and go to Italy instead to visit her... someday.
Uncle Paolo and aunty Sally however are going sightseeing and might be bunking in with my family for a few days. hehe
Another thing is that my church had asked all the youth to do something for this year's CNY. I decided to wash the plates, haha. I'm no longer the small little boy who eats as fast as he can so he can get back to playing games or chit-chatting with cuzzes, instead I'm the one with the gloves and sponge scrubbing 'em dirty plates in the kitchen ( with the help of the maid of course XP ). Oh well, at least I've done my part of the share. My sister is yet to do hers, grrrrr.
I have to attend my cousin's ( sadly not in the picture but her siblings and parents are ) wedding tomorrow which starts at around 8.45 in the morning till afternoon where I'll have a few hours break before we resume for the wedding dinner at 7 pm. I've gotta attend a farewell party for you know who on monday afternoon. -sigh- so sad cuz that's gonne be the last time I'll be seeing her. x(
That's followed by finishing a group project for physics to be handed up on Thursday. "Water Rocket" what ever that is. So, that practically wraps up my CNY 2008! I hope you guys also had a memorable one. I certainly did, and still do. I need to go to bed now, it's 12.14 already. See y'all again ASAP!!
till then - good night

P.S. incase you guys wanted to know, Marina is as old as I am. 16 this year xP

It's the year of the rat. Lol, don't know why I made that statement<<<<<< but anyway, yeah.. it's the year of the rodent. So all ye' rodents out there, have a good year ahead. I'm visiting so many places and yet have so much homework. Gosh! Talk bout the physics project I was given last week on constructing a "Water Rocket", whatever the heck that is. It's due the following week, just hope i can jumble my time accordingly and who knows, I might have a wonderful stressless CNY after all. Okay guys, till next time.

my fish is swimming away

hey guys, sorry haven't been posting here for ages. just be so bz and caught up with things that i totally forgot bout my precious blog.
I don't think I really have much to tell you right now just this. Have you ever been told that if you want to find someone special in your life, you should wait at the pond to find the right fish because there are many beautiful fishes out there. Well, I found my fish bout say 3 years ago. She's everything I could possibly want. She's absolutely beautiful, nice, intelligent, friendly, good in sports, good in music, has a great personality and practically everything I've ever dreamed of. Sadly I have to say that she's 3 years my senior which makes her 19 this year. I've always enjoyed spending time with her when we're in a group together doing fun activities and i'll always treasure those moments. I've always been shy around her as expected but I can't help myself, she just makes me shiver and I tend to have superbly fast heart beats when i touch her. Ahhhhhhh!!!!! anyway, she's been accepted on a full scholarship to a university in Australia and the moment she announced it to the group, my heart was pounding unimaginably fast and I was waiting to hear the duration of the course. " I'll be there for a few years " and my heart completely shattered. I mean... I won't be seeing her for so long!! can you imagine that? I've never been so heart broken. She'll be leaving in mid- February so I only have about 2 1/2 weeks left to still able to see her. That's why I want to dedicate this song to her ( anonymous for safety precautions ). It's " Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx
I'll be waiting patiently for her to get back.. every second, every minute, every day.. I'll still be waiting for you...... I'll be ready !!
