So looks like 'O' levels is over. Training has been quite pleasant with the HC team. U19 competition next week.
December is going to be my travelling month i guess (Beijing and Sydney). RANGERS ARE WE GOING GENTING TOO? BLUE RANGER IS OUR TOUR GUIDE RIGHT?

PS: pls leave down ur name so that i know who is commenting!

volleyball school nationals, haix once again, national 3rd for the 3rd year!!!
every year i wish that i possess the power to rematch the semis, but its just like a curse pulling our legs at important points
i always believe that we r the best at our age cox we got height, we are skillful and certainly we r hardworking peeps
(we've got horses dogs and giraffes etc)
i guess we r just lacking of luck...
nvm i shall concentrate on beach volleyball starting of today, AYG is a rare chance for me, and i definitely dont wan to waste it
( I WANT A MEDAL AT LEAST U HEARD THAT MELVIN GOH TENG KUAN )
an article from April 8th Straits Times
(click to enlarge)
a round of applause for nanyang b div volleyball for getting national champ!!! :) and jiayou melvin for ur A div matches
join me for beach trainings soon!!
oh ya i also bought a pair of Oakley shades ( radar path gun power/slate iridium ) which made me $300 poorer :(
- Mood:
crappy
Things r getting so tensed up recently, i don wan to life to be screwed by them
weicheng that little bastard's ankle got screwed by daoliang and thus he has not been coming for training for 2 weeks
but he can still go play basketball for god sake.. did he lost his interest in volleyball? or in us?
caleb used to be our main setter but dunno why coach recently starting to prefer hong's setting style
its not that u r lousy but seriously i can only get use to caleb's setting style, coz its like more similar to samuel's
zuoquan has been having stomach problems since the u16 tournament last year, it occurred so randomly that even he himself cant estimate. and my playing mood was totally affected.
benny is like similar to me on court, he cant play well if the team spirit is not there, but at the same time ppl like us just cant make the team 'hot'. how i wish i have the cheering power of weizhi haha
im most worried about royston coz he is playing middle without a matching height compared to schools like hildas and xinmin. he is fast he can jump and improving. but our defence will be in deep trouble after running out of stamina
jit hao is a all rounded player with good defence skills. he can really receive the ball well at times, but i swear he don like to move his legs. if he use all his strength diving ard the court for the first part, we will hav a hard game in the 2nd half for sure.
on the other hand, we lost one match during the first round of our zonals, but thats not going to stop us storming to the finals. im the only one to blame for that match i know and i sincerely apologize to y'all here^^
ppl who r still in CNY new year mood i wish u good luck coz prelim is coming like real soon, tough matches r coming up as well
ps: i got 3 fingers jammed by louis on friday fk man

i'm so glad that its over and its definitely the time to PLAY!!!!!!!!!
first things first,my friendster was hacked by Royston few days ago because apparently im so dumb to forget logging off my account.Apologies to those who had got nuisance comments from 'me'.
Exam difficulties was alright,especially for subjects like chinese,social studies and geography xD
english was HARD (every english paper was hard for me)
sciences okay but 10/100 marks for physics i skipped -.-
Amath was normal (quite hard but i noe how to do all)
Emath was a killer!!!!!!!!!!!

lastly i would like to wish ALL O LEVEL TAKERS TO MAINTAIN A GOOD STUDY HABIT JUST FOR THIS FEW WEEKS AND SCREW O LEVEL xD
- Mood:
thankful
"How did it get here that fast?" I exclaimed!
I jumped up in shock and bewilderment. By now a pact of creatures had gathered in the elevated plateau in the near distance. They began shrieking and using their battle cries to intimidate their helpless victims.
But for now, I had to deal with the trouble just ahead of me. The monster was staring straight into my eyes and it was so close, i could hear its bated breath. For the first time, I was able to scrutinise my enemy in such close quarters that i manage to see the extent of its hideousness. The monster began screeching and my ears started to hurt.
After what felt like an eternity, one of the monsters at the plateau bellowed,"You may began"
So Miss Thian had no choice but to stop scolding me as i flipped open the maths paper...
a day in the life of Royston -.-
- Mood:
satisfied
I STILL WAN TO PLAY BALL ONE LEH T.T

tmr going to be a tiring day again..morning need to check chinese scripts
after that going to play beach at BISHAN ACTIVE
followed by school training and KA training -.-
wah holiday so fast over le :(
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
- Mood: silly
because even if u got in,u will get nothing but plenty of frustration!
NEXT TIME U SEE THIS THINGY AGAIN, PLS JUST IGNORE IT THANK YOU
it was a good start yesterday,we reached there early,got our rip curl singlets and managed to find a nice spot to settle down
i cant really believe it when they said this was the biggest beach volleyball event in SOUTH EAST ASIA 2008
with 220 teams and 800 participants!
and all they can provide was courts with dangling nets and curvey side lines?
even the scorers cant complete their score sheets properly and im sure the refrees are complaining as well
first round got 3 matches,against one primary school team one indian team and a walk over (i think the team went to have lunch or something hehe)
and 2nd round we've got Zisheng's team! IN CASE U DON'T KNOW,HE WAS THE ONE WE LEAD US (KOLAM AYER) TO DOMINATE THE U19 YOUTH CUP!
thanks ah Zisheng, i'm sure u gave in to us :) and the score was like 21-19!
Quarter finals we tio-ed Louis's team?haha they had disadvantage becox of their height! and we purposely chose a tall net to play with!
they are friendly and nice actually.... the score was 21-10
AND THERE WAS THE SEMIS.AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY AMAZING.. or should i say its the clash of the titans xD
we have got shaun + penghan team this time..that tall freak can thunder without looking!!
plus the net was like shit for that match too -.-
luckily we came up with this double blocking tatics to counter him which we invented the previous day while training with Javier xD
AND IT WORKED!!WE MANAGED TO DEFEND BACK SOME SPIKING WITH TREMENDOUS STRENGTH AND WON THEM 2-1!!
by the time we finished the semis it was already around 8
In the end we do not want to play for finals cox the place was really too dark...the spotlights were useless
and u cant see the sidelines at all!! i'm pretty sure the refrees weren't able to make a fair judgment as well!
i don wan to go into details on how kaopei the organizer was
it does not really matter to us becox we only lost like 75 bucks and got $625 in the end after splitting the 1st and 2nd prize money between us and weiming's team :)
so it was like a combined first?
but the solution does not really apply fairly to those who haven completed their semis!as there were other categories...
the organizer want all 4 teams to split the 1st 2nd 3rd prize money which each of them will only get a very small amount
some of them left without taking the money!!!
WE SWEARED THAT WE WILL NOT JOIN RIP CURL NEXT YEAR NO MATTER WHAT
GOLD ONE OKAY!!
hey thanks for console,indeed that's what true friends are for xD
- Mood:
touched
Let the pictures speak for itself!!!
RANDOM ORDERS
- Mood: hyper
yesterday was a really 'shiok' day...
it was raining + raining + raining throughout the whole day at sentosa!
and there was a big downpour at around 11 and drizzling non stop after that....
played 2 on 2 matches 3 on 3 matches 4 on 4 matches with all kinds of teams
the floor was quite comfortable for jumping, but the balls were like metal bombs -.-
HOW TO PLAY LUH
AND THE WEATHER WAS LIKE -77 DEGREES HAHA SUPER COLD
WE WERE LIKE SHIVERING AND RUNNING AROUND TO KEEP OURSELVES WARM
haha it was damn fun,but got owned by one team,DAMN LUH hope we don meet them in the first round of rip curl
after that we went to marina bay to catch the fireworks!
they were simply amazing and dazzling!
the explosions of fireworks were like right in front of u as if u can touch it!!
I HOPE U CAN IMAGINE HOW CLOSE ARE THOSE THINGS TO US
singapore really put on a lot of effort to showcase that 15 mins of fabulous display of fireworks
inflation is still quite jialat can, government go save some money for the people luh :)
ONE WEEK MORE TO RIP CURL
- Mood:
groggy
i guess i did damn well for this term

- Mood: good
