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 :(

some random craps

2009-02-07T16:52:31Z

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

Finally coming back Singapore!

2008-12-13T15:56:54Z

thai ppl r scary!their arms dam long can,if stand straight the finger can touch the knee -.-

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!!!!!!!!!!!

now i seriously nid to crack my head out and sort out some places to go!
coming up was the u16 starting on 26 oct to mid nov?
and ofcox the most important inter school beach volleyball
introducing the rip curl champion pair wahahahhaha.......

And in conjunction of the holidays and under the influence of MR KOH ZUO QUAN im beginning to like PRISON BREAK SEASON 4 HOHO

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

Our last adventure

2008-10-07T14:47:38Z

My sense of smell and sight was heightened. My mind was alert as I pondered on the impossible task ahead.I was thinking of my remaining options left but I was stuck! There was nothing left i could do , but to face up to the challenge . I was sweating my balls off and I felt like running but my legs felt like jelly. I glanced up and there stood the unimaginably ugly and disfigured monster. I was shocked!
"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 -.-

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lousy event

2008-08-31T03:40:24Z

Firstly i would like to congratulate those who didnt got into the top 4 positions for the rip curl beach volleyball championship yesterday
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

Closing ceremony!!

2008-08-25T14:02:39Z

Let the pictures speak for itself!!!

RANDOM ORDERS

finally a no event day

2008-08-24T05:53:27Z

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

Sentosa

2008-08-22T22:25:52Z

hope i dont get trash by pros later cox my muscles are like cramping....

BORING

2008-08-19T11:42:20Z

really nothing to post about these few days
see.. that shows how boring my life is
eat sleep shit eat sleep and the cycle repeats itself :)

the only thing i am contented right now is that i passed my english..HAHAH
nothing surprising for most of y'all but seriously chs language papers are killers @@

BACK TO WATCH OLYMPICS

OLYMPIC MEDAL IN 48 YEARS

2008-08-16T11:50:28Z

can u believe it I GOT A NEW DESKTOP TODAY AND THE SCREEN IS BLOODY 22 INCH WIDE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA DAMN FREAKING NICE >.<

these few days the olympics was really exciting
so many new world recored being broken
months and years of hardwork had finally paid off for them
the prize presentation was particularly a memorial experience for the athletes
i'm sure everyone would be touched when their coutry flag is being raised and the national anthem is being played
SO SWEET CAN ^^

OKAY TMR SINGAPORE WILL BE GETTING ITS FIRST OLYMPIC MEDAL IN 48 YEARS! (last one was a silver in weight lifting)
they will be playing the table tennis finals with team china tmr at around 7.30 i think
should be a 40% gold 60% silver bah JIAYOU JIAYOU JIAYOU
i really dunno who to support :(

CHINA

2008-08-14T05:20:45Z

seriously im very proud to be a Chinese >< even though one third of the world population is made up of chinese but it doesnt really matter.
i just love chinese and honored to be able to speak chinese!

i will un-doubtfully pity u if u missed out the woman gymnastic session yesterday.it was thrilling, exciting and nerves tangling!
it was a group gymnastic competition actually.6 girls each team have to compete in 4 different stations...the floor, the bars, the balance beam and the jump and flip one i duno what is it called -.- vault?

both the american and chinese team got similar scores for the first 2 events...the vault and uneven bars,which are also the simpler ones.
when it comes to the balancing beam, Sacramone, the captain from the US team made a big mistake by falling off the beam accidently
but the chinese captain Cheng Fei also fell off the beam..Luckily her female counterparts Jiang Yuyuan and Deng Linlin managed to perform flawlessly and staged a near perfect performance
this actually helped the chinese team to proceed to the last station with a1.1 point lead

at the floors..cheng fei, who had made a crucial mistake earlier,adjusted herself nicely and performed a smooth routine.Jiang Yuyuan and Deng Linlin again staged a incredible performance in floor exercise and sealed China's triumph ^^
The United States failed to maintain its consistency as all three chinese competitors finished their routines with flaws. Sacramone rolled backward and landed on her bottom while Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson made errors in landing. The mistakes threw their hope for gold into ashes.
Finally the Chinese women score a total of 188.900 left runners-up the United States behind with a gap of 2.375 points!!

haha their journey to the podium is really not easy,hope the Chinese will do better in other events!!!

AND THREE CHEERS TO THE CHINA WOMEN VOLLEYBALL TEAM WHO HAD LOST THEIR OPENING MATCH TO CUBA!!!
JAYOU JAYOU JAYOU!~
