    hmm. the second day of the sg open is over. and ive got crap news..

    First Day
    -the 50m breaststroke day
    felt like crap.. morn was great, i felt great. but somehow my time was slow. probably stroke rate again? the afternoon was crapper. btw i was like 7/8th placing in heats. and last for finals.. with 30.83? in heats and a 31.19 in finals. totally something which digusts me. i was playing computer games the whole afternoon. was so tired.. and after warmup during finals, i fell asleep. fortunately austin woke me up. and i got to my event. but was still feeling lethargic. had cramp in the finals. wonder if the sleep caused it.. dam im dumb to play games for 5hrs..zz

    Second DAY
    -100m breaststroke and 50m fly.

    Breaststroke. - hmm the heats was crapped. i was rushing my strokes, to be fast, in vain. 1.08.86. i wanna suicide alr man.. i trained like mad. yet so slow times.. i cant stand it.. then i was dying.. in last few metres.. was really depressed. i stayed back for like 1hr++ to check on my strokes.. serious, ask nigel or tze kang if u dun believe. ..

    received multiple encouragements for the swim. from 1..2..3..4 4 people. yea ^^. houyes. then was like really worried by now. i went home, i stared at Professional Breaststrokers swim. 100m course. kitajima brendan jim. wadever. and i felt a wee bit better. was running their strokes thru my mind.

    during the finals, the warm up, i paid more attention to the strokes. heres the warm up i did.

    300m free swim
    200m kick
    200m breaststroke drill ( 2 kick +1 pull)
    300m (2 underwater phrase to 15m - 20m free - last 15m build to wall +turn)
    stretching
    100m free
    100m drill
    3 dives to check distance.
    1 dive for time (25m : 13.5)

    total dist: 1.2k.

    was pretty much easily warmed ever since i returned from aust.

    the finals. ****
    100m br. was mentally good. physically too^^. emotionally three ^^.

    split 31.64 35.80 i think. was having relaxed long strokes. if u asked me to rate my effort, probably 90%. compared to the 100% this morn, and a much slower time. so i felt the strokes were good. will check it out tmr on the screen. however, i felt that i could have pushed myself to return faster. cuz i didnt really feel THAT tired. yea. probably could maintain this good pace for another 50m? will use this stroke for the 200m on thurs. looking forward to something good. ^^.


    BUTTERFLY, 50m
    i shant say much, but im happy with wad i did. 26.84, got 4th overall, and got a bronze medal. i can sleep in peace finally. in the trunks which i used in the 100m br earlier on + scotts cap + my gogs which my parents bought for me from japan. oh yes im happy :)

    the 100m breast is done with tze kangs cap.

    pretty sry that i have to borrow here and there(cap) but its cause i broke mine, and haven really got the time to replace it. till next time. GL all.

    can i ask if MSN is down in singapore too? MSN dun seem to work on my side.

    Anyway, yesterday was a kick set. 6k! zz. dun really know wad was that for. but yea i got a bloody cut at the last 5metres of trainin! wth man. why is my luck so bad? cant it just let me swim finish the 5 metres?! the cut was quite deep (by lane rope). Picture on top.

    Hmm.. planning to go shopping for stuffs to give to frens back in sg today. wanna go fremantle, but its mainly a weekend market. so doubt i will have a go on my luck and take a 40min bus ride there.. i want to get a shirt or two from there.. so tempting. I MIGHT go only.

    so, Yvonne tan wants macademia nuts. honey coated. as usual, macademia nut is also my favourite nut. and i love it honey coated too. but im not really sure where can i get that.. im still not quite familiar with the place man.. hmm.. but i'll try. considering i rmbed that YT bought chocs for us last time..

    i dunno wad to get for Harry man. theres little soccer stuffs here. and theres pretty nothing much for boys..

    haha. im not sure wad to get for MJ too. cuz im just out of ideas.

    I haven seen much of an "ideal" gift for all. but im thinking of wad to get for my uncle's wedding, which is on Saturday too. hmm..

    All of these, i will be walking and shop, with my busted heel...


    The Pool is extremely foggy today. i dun really know why. and its so thick u'll have difficulties breathing.. and its got a wierd "taste" to it too. See pic above ^^.

    I AM pissed off with my mum.. my handphone is down, i called my dad and informed my brother on msn. and cuz im arranging for a flight back to sg on friday by today, i had to call home for confirmation. then my mum comes yelling," why i always cant get u when i call u!? your phone spoil u also nv bother to inform me!>" I was WHAT THE FUCK!!!. I CALLED U BUT U NV PICK UP THE PHONE SO I CALLED MY DAD! as u all should know, i bought this calling card from aust, which allows me call back at cheaper rates , but i gotta dial LOADS of number b4 i can actually talk to a person? and i get DAMNED fed up when the other person on the other line fails to pick up. AND SHE DID NOT BOTHER ASKING MY DAD OR BROTHER. Claiming ignorance just makes me hate her..

    and so, i gotta tell her my ticket reference number. and i repeated and repeated, "3EHNX3" "3ehnx?"
    "no, 3EHNX3"
    "OK, 3EHNX"
    frustrated, "3-E for english-H-N-X-3(threeeeee)"

    then she kept silent la. i slammed the phone.

    then she called back in a matter of seconds.

    she could have just done her part of her job, and use a little bit of initiative, to contact me/know that my phone is down!

    bastard la. so pissed off. im alr fking tired. and i have to get this shit..
    thx for the trip, but cant she see im putting in so much effort in training in WTF conditions!?

    Parents just dun understand us do they?
    My fav phrase, " If u think u can do better than me, u go swim for me to see"

    this is a bit more interesting so i shall write a small bit for every one.. this is Fremantle markets. so there is many interesting stuffs on sale here. like night market sort. and theres many street performers. been there 2x and seen a total of 3 performances. 1. a man fits through a tennis racquet and swallows a flaming sword(he holds guiness world record for having swallowed heaviest sword 20++ kg), 2. a opera class singer singing in high pitch. last, this man here who rides a dam tiny bicycle (30cm tall?) and this 10 foot unicycle. and juggling flames sticks at same time. then he does it blind-folded..


    here is him, blind folded.. crazy,,


    following that, we went to the shipyard u call it? and had Lunch at Cicerella, as mentioned earlier. then this is outside the food place. theres me, brandon and beatrice, their sister. hmm. nice place. will want to try the speed boat thingy (just to the right of the picture), looks fun but costs $25 a pax i think. +-

     - One day you'll be the one crying..# ;






    first is Ben and Me, (ben=bryan's elder bro)
    then its me with the Tay family(headed by uncle vincent, 2nd far right) and Tay family #2 (headed by Uncle Greg far right)
    lastly me and Brandon (=bens youngest brother)

    these are the settings. the few i got.

     - One day you'll be the one crying..# ;




    hey. a bit messed up currently.
    been busy with many other stuffs.

    hmm. firstly i find dota screwed. the new heros are all imbalanced. one (darkseer mayb) run dam fast. another meepok or dunno wad, can net 4x... ...zz not fun alr.. classic heroes still best..

    hmm went to some park with sea view. was a really nice place. see photo as above. i took a few picts. with brandon and ben too. and the picturesque environment. but only one in my phone. rest in their cam. we had bbq there. again. with roughly the same food but i have to admit the chicken wings are nicer this time. their bbq is publicly used and people maintain it themself. free too.

    will upload the rest when it comes to me.

    and wth the internet here is screwed for the first time..zzz
    cant talk to frens on msn. im really quite pissed off alr.

    morning trng is by some funny coach cuz head coach Grant is away in Rome and Mel will be absent for some reason.. and outdoor swimming isnt funny. so i may swim indoor on my own for the first time.. always swam with the team. but the cold is not something enjoyable. tho im feeling crap now, and numbing urself with the cold is a stupid idea.

    got introduced to a new game. footy or footie or foodie or foody, aust football. wierd. the ball is like a rugby ball. so that ball in my home for the past 5-6 years is actually a footy ball! didnt know..

    went to freo free market again. and this time went Cicerella, the supposed nicest fish and chips here. but man, its oily. price was alright(10.50 aus for a generous servin) and ambience was great tho. and.. yup saw Rottnest from the coast. i would want to go there one of these days. 40 aus for the ferry ride tho..

    had dinner at some funny chinese restaurant. food was alright. maybe comparable to wad we have in Sg, but the price was .. high.. bad.. got myself some bubble tea there. 3 aus a cup zzz...
    wth la.. 3 aus= 4.2 sing? rmbed that Bobo and i enjoyed 'Sui Bian" bubbletea near s-11 outside school. and that he forgot to return my rubiks cube.. zzz and FINALLY i got to hear some chinese songs. decent ones. there. had chocolate +pudding.

    took quite a while to get back home. some1 was online.! and the bubbletea machine crapped up heh. wth. untimely.. i am dying to get home la..zzz. back home. rushed to on my lap.zz offline alr.. zz.

    then went for a game of dota.. i faced sniper with mercurial? i cant farm, he harasses me. low life melee agil vs long range sniper + assasination? wth.. i lose la!!. then my team was close to crap.. lina who buys travels as first item.. and dunno how to use spell. mortred who is stuck at top, haven gained power yet. Malicious(leshrac) who is so noob to tank creep at lvl .3. and dunno who. vs sniper, night stalker, visage, + nevermore and some1 else. and we lost like crap... fortunately and unfortunately, internet went down and we all dc. end.

    went on msn. down too. had a banana. played pool. lost to bryan.. watched Jackass 2. yup..finally some connection, some hope, went on, had a few words with precious frens, and --argh-- out again.. blogged this all, and saved MS words, waiting for a time to publish. got training tmr, gotta sleep.

    time 11.42pm.

    A falling star
    Least I fall alone.
    I can’t explain what you can’t explain.
    You're finding things that you didn’t know
    I look at you with such disdain

    Now I’m on my own side
    It’s better than being on your side
    It’s my fault when you're blind
    It’s better that I see it through your eyes
    All these thoughts locked inside
    Now you’re the first to know

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Purple the color, that Rose on my coffin door, i've tasted hows life bleeding on the floor.

    So give me all your poison and give me all your pills,

    And give me all your hopeless hearts and make me ill.

    Im chasing after something, something i'll never Kill,

    If that is wad u want, then silence at will.

    alright.. i just got ressurrected from the god dam shit training.. why they wake up so early here?
    back in SG, at this time, i would have been scratching my back in my dream or doing some breaststroke drills on the bed!!?

    too tired man. with the gym and swimming trng. wads good = weather has calmed down lots. not so cold now. but its gonna get colder in a week +. bad news = today is my last trng in indoor pool..

    its confirmed that i will be returning to SG. on the 16th afternoon. will be going to m'sia to attend my uncle's wedding dinner. just in time.. actually to bounce back only 17, but father say since hes my last uncle's wedding, i should go. then i will get my chance to wear my suit ^^. yup the whole black suit which i bought for fun.. only when i returned home, i realised that the fun comes with a price.. sry mum^^

    hmm will most prolly be swimming 5 events in sg open. all breast. 50 free and fly.
    will be targeting 100m breast. others lose or not i dun really care. but i think that i would be looking forward to the 200m breaststroke with Pang Sheng Jun. hes good man ^^. but if i lose, i think its ok.. cuz im dam tired here. + i got 50m free before that. and 50m free im trying to get some speed. dunno whether i will tire out in 200m not. hmm.. im quite sick of the order. not to my favour. but still yup.

    i got one free day in between the competitions. which will be the 20th, and in which will be spent catching up with fren(s) ^^.

    and i will definitely enjoy the warmth in the sunny island of SG. houyes. i miss it. i finally learnt how to appreciate warmth to coldness. >.<

    will be trying to get some work to bring over to perth again. i realised that im stuck in perth with nothing but textbooks !! ahaha teachers relax, i got revise with the textbook. but im usually too tired and only read when waiting for people to pick me up.. =_="

    will be stocking up on some clothes. refresh my closet here. cuz im bored with wad im wearin alr. and i think ive only spent like less than 50 dollars in my near 2 weeks stay here ^^. all i bought was a CAlling CArd $20, boots $27 and 3 muffins ($3 each) and 2, 375ml 30g protein choc malt drink and 1, 40g protein one ( so about $14 dollars) discounting the card and boots (necessity), i only spend less than $20 ^^ omgah im a farmer ^^

    yup. sunday off and sat aft off. total, 2+1+1+1+2+1+2GYM= 8 swim trng and 2 gyms left for me b4 i return. zzz boring..

    and dam it!! i realized next sat is my last chance to win the Gnome!! the Gnome is a figurine given to the most hardworking swimmer in the group.. and if u get it, u can write ur name on it.. and keep for a week until the next sat. so i think im gonna whack the set on sat to try win it..

    I WILL SURVIVE! cheers! cheers! cheers! = 3 cheers for sweet revenge!

    heya everyone.

    nothing much lately. but cuz my bryans dads car has gone dead. our picnic-bbq-fishing trip tmr is in danger!!

    but had a good free sunday today. went to beach to bodyboard. its something like surfing, maybe the newer and more popular type of surfing.

    man, aint kidding but i finally know why swimmers drown in sea...

    the waves dun warn u of its might!!

    i was bodyboarding. real cool, with ben's full wet suit. houyes. the cold sea water was acceptable by now. i fear sharks, reef, sting rays, jellyfish. etc. you know it.

    10.30am. we got in. for first time i saw 4 foot waves. hou! no hot girls!! :(

    first got used to water before i head out to open sea.
    got to know how to crash into wave without being pushed back and so on.

    finally i got a chance to ride the waves..

    intro, the bodyboard is attached to you via a link from the board to ur biceps.

    after a few unsuccessful tries to catch the big waves, i finally got a few small ones, and had happy time speeding along the coast.

    however, danger spelled itself when bryan told me to catch the giant wave when im not ready to. so i was on the edge of the top of the wave for a moment, and the next, i fell like 4 foot down to the bottom of the wave and got rolled over. .. zz.. i kinda "cracked" all my upper back bone and the pain lingers. thats seriously bad. during the rollover, the wave exerted great pressure on me. tossing me like french fries!! i cant surface. and the link (leash) btwn me and board was tangled btwn my neck, legs and armpit. i was freaking tied up.. cant breathe.swallowed 2 mouths.. fresh perth saltwater ...

    then the leash broke..

    great. i got rolled over like 2 more times in the later parts. it hurts. cuz u are being tossed like a grain of sand in the sea. so, swimmers, pls do not think u can survive rough water conditions in sea. ull die!.

    luckily i nv hit the reef when being tossed underwater. or i may not return in a piece!..

    alright. thats all for today. nothing interesting. GL. btw, i met up with Josh in fremantle alr. hd lunch.

    gd nt all.

    Once more I say goodbye, to YOU
    Things happen but we don't really know why
    If it's supposed to be like this, why do most of us ignore the chance to miss?

    Oh yeah...

    Once more YOU tell those lies, to me
    Why can't you just be straight up with honesty?
    When you say those things in my ear, why do you always tell me what you wanna hear?

    Oh yeah...

    Wear your heart on your sleeve, make things hard to believe, I'm not feeling this situation
    Run away try to find a safe place you can hide
    It's the best place to be when you're feeling like..

    Me...(me!)
    Yeah...(yeah!)
    All these things I hate revolve around
    ME...(me!)
    Yeah...(yeah!)
    Just back off before I snap and you'll see...(see!)
    Me...(me!)
    All these things I hate revolve around
    Me...(me!)
    Yeah...(yeah)
    Just back off before I snap...

    Torn apart at the seams and my dreams turn to tears, I'm not feeling this situation
