army travelling dayz

probably e most amusing award ive received in this life - army 5years service award. i mean i dont mean to stay that long in e army, its all because of e national service and e COMPULSORY 10years cycle of in-camp training, if not do you think all of us would stay that long to receive this award?? haha.... gun-do!

wonder why i focused ONLY on e number on this photo? thats e number to reach me when im away in thailand for my in-camp training. just dial e country code if im not wrong should be +66. talk about this thai-number, i should thank elvin for helping me to buy this thailand pre-paid card. at least for sure my phone bill will not be rocket high at e end of this month!

this is not my first time to thailand for my military duty. in fact, during my NSF dayz, my unit travelled to thailand and new zealand in which we spent in average 3weeks at e respective country. right after i return from this thailand training, i will be heading to scotland and england for my getaway! for every trip i made, i make it a point to get a badge from e country onto my backpack! no different this time ya!~

check out my backpack! more to be updated soon!

retaliation

e scorching sun got into me today. nope.. i should say for e very first time in my footballing life, i retaliated to a tackle. e desire to win, together with e unfriendly weather, made me lose my usual cool to behave like a barbarian! i shouted, gripped hold of him to prevent him for running away from me, split-second later e man in black came rushing over to separate us out. you know, ive got no idea why i gripped hold of that fellow and i thought i was about to beat him up! haha.. e next moment, i calmed down and resume my game. i was sharing with joanne on what happened and i really find it amusing! haha... its just that one-moment-thingy which has never happen in my life before... haha. i will always remember this.

influenced

has your life ever been influenced by anyone? for me, there were mostly sportsmen who appeared in my filled-with-ambition life especially during my teenager life. there was a fandi ahmad in e early-90s where i would follow his traditional malay-way of "touch-my-heart" greeting whenever i shook hand with somebody else. then there was this miura kazuyoshi (KING KAZU) in e mid-90s where i would wear lots of friendship bands on my wrist just liked him! late-90s, early-2000, mid-2000 and so on...... e name list goes on.

i think because of our environment, lifestyle, the constant interactions with people, there bound to be someone who will influence our lifes one way or another. i was exchanging sms with a secondary school mate this entire noon and got to know that i was actually e person who influenced him to pick up football. come and think about it, it sounds really amazing. i mean what i was doing (playing football) merely was doing a sport which i'm deeply in love with and because of that passion and UNCONDITIONAL love, friends around me were impressed and got influenced. dont you think that it's really amazing? same goes to me, subconsciously i wanted to be e second fandi ahmad or miura kazuyoshi back in my school dayz just because both of them were real good at what they were doing. without a doubt, to certain extend, i idolized them! was it e case here with my friend?? haha.... definitely not.

i believe i did ever influence people in my near 30 years of life but i really pray that those were healthy and positive influence. on a serious note, let me substain this healthy and positive influency and in times to come, subsequent people who are fated to be influenced by UNCLE jun will benefit big time!

green again

very soon, i will be back in green. however this time time round it will be another brand new adventure - crescendo! departuring end of next week, 3 weeks in kanchanaburi, 8 days of outfield at gaomeng or saiyok, sure exciting. then again, no facebook for e next coming 3weeks, no comfortable bed, no regular bath and no tv! no worries, i believe my buddies will be there to make up what i'll be missing from singapore! here i come, crescendo!

jeonsoccer

i would highly suggest you watch finish this video clip before you carry on reading what I am going to blog about below.

with great honour, i was invited by planet football to a private close door futbol session on tuesday late night with e world greatest futbol freestyle, jeon kwon aka JK from korea. i couldn't believe i would have e rare opportunity to stand by his side in real let alone play futbol with him! as in ive been following his futbol videos so closely all these while and now i am playing with him at e cage. our very first conversation was he asking me if i am a japanese as he stared at e "JFA" on my jersey! probably that explained why he didnt give me any chance during e futsal session coming up.

he's kind of a quiet guy but you could see his passion for e game and e effort he has put in to master all e tricks. basically in short, he's extraordinary amazing. after some tricks sharing, together with his manager and a couple of local freestylers, we had an amazing game of our lifes!

well, i think e futsal session needs no detailed write-out. i am e monkey throughout e game although i did well enough to score 1 goal against JK's team! e futsal game was no ordinary game mind you. we could easily get pass one marker from another with simple passing but e world best and e other freestylers had other idea - they would get pass you with their trickery footworks. no direct running but "panna"! i was "panna" aka "lobang" quite a handful of times. during e game, i used whatever way and posture i ever know to defend against e trickeries however it seems like "panna" was meant to cut e traditional defending off and humilated you on e pitch! whenever each successful "panna" was executed, there would be a cheer from e team. in fact, that's what they were trying to do, putting e ball into e net was secondary.

one of e best moves of e night was when i was defending JK from e attack. before i could figure out what his legs were going to do, he has flipped up e ball up to my chest, over my sight, across my 1.78m height body! and that very moment, e entire world seems to have stopped while i motionlessly watch e ball slowly floated over and eventually out of my vision.... cheers followed. i was beaten by JK. it was expected but i couldnt describe e real-time feeling when that moment happened merely just 3 seconds thingy. amazing.

never going to leave e night without a photo taken with JK. i think right after this session, my admiration of this freestyler has increased, going to follow his videos even more closely from now on. in e meantime, gonna master more trickeries before e next such invitation comes again!

jugador de futbol

this is it. i think i am finally going to do it. should be meeting up with e planet football for a discussion next week, will be using this opportunity to clarify some details. hopefully everything will be smooth. by year end, will be e launch. first thing first, gonna have e entire plan planned out, get ready e proposal, gonna try to get a sponsor for e start, keep my finger crossed though. boa sorte.

raining

raining again....

when i can hear rain in e night, i cant help but start wondering where on earth in singapore will flood again! joanne was saying singapore should have holiday for raining day, because its so dangerous to go out there, what if we got struck by a falling tree?

haha... this joannesy-quote made my morning though.

so how is singapore going to react to e constant flood? last night, MM Lee quoted saying there wont be total solution to flooding we just have to be prepared. oh well, when you hear these kind of statements, i cant help but blame e authority for e lapse of duty in ensuring safety when disaster hit. but from e mouth of MM Lee, its kind of what to do.. MM Lee already said so... cant be help, lan lan lor.....

to be fair, i understand that e amount of rain is huge for e month of june and july. does it mean that e world is coming to e end? that could be beyond any singaporean's imagination, what about this - is singapore sinking soon? hoohoo.. i remember came across this article few years back reporting about a huge icebergh which"broke free" from either e south or north pole, floating towards brazil. and when this iceberg eventually melted, singapore will be half-sunk! how true is that, i really dont know but hope that it wont happen, really. anyway can you imagine how HUGE this iceberg is when we say sinapore will SINK when e iceberg eventually melted?

ok, rainy day. time to relax one corner. recovering from my flu, better drink more water.
