3 points

Match: JJC 1-3 RJC (scorers: Fairuz, then an own goal, then Peiqian)
Lineup: Mark, Adzfar, Kinyip, Weifan, Chun Yat, Soo Tet, Geoffrey, Zhihao, Chang Wen, Fairuz, Peiqian

Goal no.1 (5 mins)
A powerful Geoffrey shot that towards the bottom right hand corner could only be palmed towards me, so I was left with a simple header into an unguarded net. That was my first goal with my head. The celebration afterwards was nice, but Team! We must work on celebration!

Goal no.2 (10 mins)
We had won a corner i think. Our set-pieces leave much to be desired. But anyway, they failed to clear. Geoffrey picked up a loose ball on the edge of the box. He had 2 or 3 shots. The last one, that shot was pushed away by the keeper onto the leg of his last man, who inadvertently back-heeled into his own goal. Cheers

Goal no.3 (70 mins)
Geoffrey was on the charge through the middle, sensing that Peiqian was on the heels of their last man, he gave a simple through pass down the centre. Peiqian needed no further invitation. He blasted a solid grounder past the hapless keeper. That was the most beautiful goal today. Yeehah :)

metro cip

Metro CIP

Oh well people have come to lament on how others don't wanna donate, or will tend to donate to people of the same race. I don't feel I have anything to add to that. I think what's more important is that I shed some light on 2 completely different points that I have encountered during my brief spell at woodlands metro today. Actually, to say that it was brief was a major understatement.

1. This was superbly enriching. A man in his thirties, maybe even forties, but I suppose the richness of the religion makes him look forever young. He started first by generously donating a healthy sum. Then i was stupid to tell him that he could participate in the lucky draw and get a booklet of vouchers and what not. I should have read the situation better. He clearly was not there to get into some lucky draw. He doesn't believe in luck at all. It must all be achieved thru work. Not just work i suppose, but hard work! He went on to start telling us what is Samawi, that is religion that comes truly from God. There are three: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The religions arrived on Earth in that order. The other forms of "religion" are actually not actually a religion, as studied by western scholars, not just islamic scholars. They are a form of Ideology (Buddhism, Taoism) and Mythology (Hinduism). Intellectual people of all races have even led their lives with the Ideology and Mythology. He went on to say that we are bestowed with knowledge, but that is the easy part. In this current chapter in our lives, we should strive to learn as much knowledge as possible. Understand the Quran! Thats what even my religious teacher says. Then after acquiring knowledge, what we must seek out to do with the intellectual that we have is to develop. That is the ultimate form of learning, he says. Develop, so that you become closer to God and you help mankind out. For the betterment of humanity. He says that only discovery will lead to the betterment of humanity, but invention and innovation (tweaking of systems by mankind), will not necessarily lead to the betterment of humanity, in fact it is almost something of a self-destructing mechanism. For Muslims, he had this to say just before he left. He was a bit impressed that we are all involved in community service. But he says when there is oppurtunity, you don't care who you help, whatever the race or religion, if you can help, then you should help. But when it comes to priority, of course, you should help out your Muslim brothers and sisters first. See the difference between Oppurtunity and Priority? And before that, the difference between Knowledge and Development? Priceless :) No amount of CIP hours would make up for this i tell you. The man salam us, that is he shook hands lik all Muslims do with us, and asked for our names (Iylia and mine). Then immediately he told us the meaning of our names. Mine is correct :)

2. The people who were supposed to come for the second shift turned up really late. Its like Iylia, Hafiz and me had to wait a whopping 2hours for one person to come. Our shift ended at 4pm, but because of this, we couldn't be released because of the agreement with RJ and so had to wait til the next person turned up. Thanks alot and merry xmas you hos.

guess who's back?

Finally, the soccer guys are back in town. Yeah! Heard loads about the trip from Adz my man. He lost weight man, coz of the lack of meat there. They must be really protective about their cows. But i wondered why they never bothered looking for chicken...? Oh well. Pumping session today was smooth, coz all the weights were lighter, not bad after 1.5 weeks lay off. Not cutting hair yet, although its gonna get bushy. Izzat thinned his like 3 times oredi in the past month. He will look bald soon. Good luck to him.

RONALD YOUR BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!

Hahahahahahahaha

merhaba?

SwooshHeyheyhey~ Merhaba? Turkey's been fun...the food and the ladies especially. Hot and crispy (yes for both). :) Oh well, here's a list of things that i would just like to post on the world wide web.

1. Eggs+ColdWeather = Big Appetite + Hardly any urge to pass motion = Very smelly farts. Thats my brother :) for countless times thruout the journey in the van, thats what keeping us awake. The very smelly bomb. The turkish driver couldnt take it, the tour guide couldnt. Anyway, who can? Its so smelly, he hardly shits over there. Except for one time, after lunch, when we were visiting some site, and others were busy browsing at glassware. He was in desperate need of a toilet, but the best he could find was a watercloset without water. At least, there was toilet paper, but the stuff came out so fast, he couldnt really keep it in check, in the end he had to leave his underwear there. It was quite comical really, him coming out of the WC, looked at his hands, saw some brown stuff and said,"Oh-Oh!"... LoL

2. My tourist guide, his name is Murat Sen. A handsome tall gentleman who loves his job, which incidentally carries the very-peculiar-if-it-was-in-singapore-name of 'Professional Tourist Guide - In English'. Lol. I still loved the way he pronounced Mevlana (pronounced as Maulana, as in Ivan Maulana) and Mehmet and Ataturk. Hey feel free to contact him at muratsen@hotmail.com :)

3. I went to a freaking disco for the first time. haha and we watched belly dancing. shoots man, the belly dancer looked a bit like a trannie. Plus the dancing wasnt what i had previously envisaged, its a tad amateurish. Anyhow, we went to dance, Murat danced funny. But there were many French tourists who really took centrestage with no-holds-barred dancing. And i liked this couple who could dance with flawless footwork. Really nice, I must learn it someday, soon i hope.

4. Left hand drive is quite crazy. It makes u feel as though u are heading in the opposite direction as traffic. Turkish roads are messy, especially in Istanbul. There are too many streets. The highways are much easier to follow.

5. In one hotel, i stayed up to watch Fenerbahce beat Manchester United's second stringers 3-0. What a dumbjack. Shouldnt have done it. Ah. Tuncay Sanli's bloody clinical. Anyway, Turkey's big with football. Thats why they were third at the last World Cup. Theres coverage everday. Everynight theres a panel to highlight the matches in great details. The Galatasaray-Fenerbahce league match was so hyped up weeks before the match itself, in newspapers and tvs and radios.

6. In turkey i didnt bother shaving coz i hated the shaving razor that my mum packed for me. Its old. Ek. So i grew a stubble

7. Izzat i got you a birthday present and Ronald you too. But its nothing much, as usual :p

8. Bargaining becomes really fun, especially when you are not buying at all. You can cut the price into less than half. And in the end u end up paying less than the cost price.

Wah tamam thats it aight. Photos coming up once the laundry is settled. :)
