I gonna miss u, bro. all de sweet memories are hard 2 forget. there r just lots to forget. i still remember all those jokes which made my days and of course de pieces of advices that u gave.

from 3, down to 2, and now left with de only 1 .....

All good things come to an end for Grabovac
Gary Koh info@sleague.com
All good things can never go on forever and will have to come to an end eventually, as Mirko Grabovac realized and gracefully accepted. The former SAFFC and Tampines Rovers goalscorer supreme announced his retirement from competitive professional football with immediate effect. The 36-year-old’s latest Beep Test result of 11-7 fell short of the required 12-12 to play for Sengkang Punggol, whom he joined at the start of the year, for the rest of the season. The outcome cruelly denied the father-of-two one last hurrah in front of local terraces around the island. Grabovac revealed in the exclusive post-test interview to sleague.com that pass or fail, he would have hung the boots at the end of the season after some hard thinking at the first half of the year. “During the time I sat out, I kept thinking and asking myself whether I would have the legs to continue playing football given my age and present physical condition. “With these in mind, I decided way before the test that 2008 would be my final year as a player.” The sad conclusion was a far cry from 1999 where he made his mark in Singapore in style, smashing four goals on his debut game against Marine Castle at Jurong. In a decade, his immaculate ball-control, visionary running and predatory finishing have delighted crowds while striking fear and confusion in the tightest of defences. His golden feet were instrumental in the Warriors winning the league championship in 2000 and 2002 and the Singapore Cup in 1999. On a personal front, he often reigned supreme as the overall top scorer, save for his last season with SAFFC in 2003. In 2002, he became the first player, local and foreign, to reach 100 S-League goals milestone. His goalscoring touch caught the attention of then-national coach Jan Poulsen who drafted him into the Lions camp for the Tiger Cup that year. It never departed when he moved east to Tampines in 2004 after five years with the Warriors. Over there, his experience and expertise contributed to the Stags’ best season in their history when they clinched the league and cup double. 2005 was a year to remember as he clinched the last of his five Golden Boots and reached the 200-goal benchmark. He also helped his side retain the title and add a historic first international trophy for Singapore clubs in the form of the Asean Club Championship. Striker par excellence, he was deservingly crowned the Player of the Decade at the season-end annual awards night that year. The 2006 Singapore Cup was the final trophy Grabovac would lift in a glittering club career before the inevitable decline set on the aging striker. Last year, fitness problems took centre-stage when he struggled to overcome the Beep test. Persistent injury concerns did not help his cause either as they restricted his appearances in his concluding season at Tampines. Moving north-east looking for a fresh start, Grabovac was not that fortunate this time. Age and injury finally caught up with him as he struggled to meet the requirements in the test. Wednesday’s final failed attempt brought curtains to his accomplished career that spanned across Croatia, Austria and Singapore, playing at the highest level in all three lands. Upon his decision to retire, his final S-League career goal tally stood 244 while his record of 39 league goals in a single season remained intact. Conceding that his spirit was willing but his flesh weak, he believed he could set a further benchmark at 250 and beyond had he not been undone by injuries while translating his Midas touch to the goal-shy Dolphins. “Forwards like myself tend to rely on quick bursts of speed over various distances to get past the defenders rather than continuous athletic running over the duration of the game,” he explained. “As always I have been confident on the pitch and feel I can deliver when called upon by the club. “This season, had I passed, I could have fulfilled my target of 12 goals in their remaining league games!” Despite the sad end at the multi-purpose hall at Yio Chu Kang where the test was held, Grabovac reflected his 18-year-long career with satisfaction and pride. “Sure I was sad I am not able to pass this time, but I am happy that it is all over,” he said. He confessed on his doubts in confidence and physical state: “I was a bag of nerves before the test because, as much as I had practiced, I was unsure when the aches and niggles would turn up and affect my run. “Each time I did not succeed, it became harder to train well and improve as I had to rest two to three days to allow the affected muscles to recover before resuming training.” “I have been suffering from my right ligament and right shin splints injuries for a while. It has been difficult as I put myself on painkillers and had to do more stretches to get myself ready for the test. “Now no more painkillers, no more stress, I feel happy and relieved.” Playing days over, he is now looking forward to focus on gaining further coaching qualification and experience, and train young players on the fundamentals of the game the way he was taught and had applied to the delight of many in Singapore. Whatever his decisions on his post-playing days might be, sleague.com thank him for the wonderful memories and standards he has set for local football and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

racial harmony
I just reached home few mins ago, cleaned myself and switched on de PC. a tiring friday but an exciting 1 as well. no routine dinner session w Mr.Teacher(HIM) but de night was spent around him, some sort like that la.
went to lil prof's school for de COLOURS OF HARMONY NIGHT CONCERT. de concert was part of de racial harmony celebration. de school has dozens of talented pupils so the concert is a platform for them to display their abilities.
good step by de school.
lil prof was 1 of de performers. performing in, wat else could it be than modern/international dance. HE is de teacher in-charge ;) hehe .. I'm so proud of both of them, so did Mama. lil prof is de youngest in de group where all his seniors adore him lots. there are only 3 boys.
HE did almost everythg by himself though HE has 2 teachers to assist HIM but he really put in 200% of commitments/works in this dance, HIS passion. de choreographing was his brainworks 100%. he was de 1 who chose de clothes, styling de students' hair & putting de make-up on them (on de boys only while de female teachers put it on for de gals).
de dance move was really creative with some acrobat acts & stunts in it. wow! de song that went along with de moves was fantastic as well, suddenly de school hall became so lively.
too bad 1 of de boys stumbled on his own feet but lucky that he was quick enough to cover de steps that he missed, clever boy!
my lil prof was de most catchy & lincah, easily attracted de attention of many including de principal who said that he might be de youngest but he is really passionate. me & mama were really proud of him and we were smiling widely ;)
afterall biasela adik aku, kalau joget dia memang champion but when it comes to study, aduhhhh! mengeluh panjang beb!
beside de modern dance, there were de Malay, Indian & Chinese dance too along with de Guzheng, Chinese Orchestra, Choir & Guitar performances.
de Indian dance was another lively performance. mind u, they were awarded GOLD WITH HONOUR in de recent SYF. great job to both de teachers & students.
de Malay dance was a lil boring. de moves were like, mati gitu. nt really interesting and de expressions were nt there, lacking. well, dance is a form of expression so express more!
I love de xpressions showed by de Choir performers, excellent!
but de guitar students, they repeat what they did during de SYF. semua jadi mcm turtle. the face semua cramped. they looked stressful seh.
after de concert ther were some refreshments served. de time was already 10pm. I knw I should nt bother bout de time as my house is damn near with de school; just 5-mins walk but I was already kind of tired coz I had a long day at school earlier.
ate a lil and took a cup of drinks and took some fresh air at de corridor of de school hall. de 1st time I was in de school at night and I was so amused by de peaceful atmosphere & de wind was blowing smoothly, best tau! but de peace was soon gone when i was distracted by lil prof & HIM who were playing catching nearby me. OMG, very childish la HIM. mama who was chattin happily with few teachers & parents noticed that too and she could only smile. ooops. but mama didnt mind bout that la ;) no worries YOU.
1 of de teacher teased HIM that HE can already be a daddy. huh? NO NO NO, HE cant yet. HE is nt prepared, I'm aware of that.
we left de school at 11.10pm, HE walked us home till at de doorstep as HE was worried bout us then HE walked to de carpark nx to my block and drove back home.
till here, back again soon.

I LOVE MY STAGS
3-out-of-3. YEAH! Tampines(stags) won all their last 3-matches. and de latest was against Geylang(Eagles) on tues night, 22/7. stags won 1-0 and de only goal was scored by de young & talented Shahdan Sulaiman, better known as Mr.Rambut Senget. ;)
gr8 game though there was only a goal 2 show for. Stags missed a number of gd chances while de eagles too, had some good chances as well. Amos did a gr8 job 4 Geylang while his defenders did their jobs well too. and of course Hassan had a gd game ;)
I was nt really pleased with few of de Eagles. no names will be stated here but let me 'display' their jersey number, NO.3, 6, 10 & 20.
esp de no.6, OMG, aku memang menyampah dgn kau dari dulu. he whacked Amri's leg like nobody care gitu. pissed off seh. that was a very desperate defending by him. relax ah brader, takkan nak kahwin gemuruh sgt? abeh kaki anak org apehal?
feelin v much happy that I managed 2 watch de stags in quick succession. has been few months since I last watched them regularly. Stags is my fav, all time fav ;) I tried to stop supporting them but I failed. i realised that why must i sacrifice my loves for de team just bcoz of that irritating slut? my 'old-man' advised me nt to bother bout her n just be myself; duduk relax 1 corner ;) I have been supporting them for almost 5-yrs, and it'll go on. half of me is there ;)
my face is a familiar figure in de Stags' Arena. same goes to Mama & Lil Prof. I know almost everyone in de team; be it de coaching/office staffs, de players; Sleague-Prime-COE, and helped by de fact that my cuzzie once played for de stags in 2004-05 & also Lil Prof was once a trainee of de Stags' Academy ;)
how I wish I still able to do everythg I used to when Mookie is around & when I was still that someone special to HIM; my 'old man'.
at this time, everythg was sweet as candy, but things can change in a single second. AKU REDHA DENGAN TAKDIR ALLAH. I'm very grateful to ALLAH, at least he let me taste those sweet moments, though not forever.
*I miss goin to their training sessions, joking around w de players I'm close with, bein disturbed by by de naughty but de lovely players, mastering my Thai language frm de coach; whom I already regard like my own Dad. and nt forgetting when Lil Prof started to play with de players' kiddos*
*I miss de 'old-routine' on matchdays. I miss de 'under-de-tree-sessions' with Mookie. I miss waiting for HIM(oldman) after de match, it could take a very long time 4 him 2 get ready as he would be among de last ones to lve de stadium. I miss challenging w Mookie on who get de Taxi first, it was real fun. I miss criticising HIS(oldman) performance on de field on our way back home; be it in de Taxi or walking to de Interchange, I love arguing w HIM, till now ;). I miss hearing his 'routine-quest' once he saw me at de gate "where is my kiss, I dah wangi tau", he is my cheeky boy, till now I guess? LOL. and I miss de smell of de baby powder he used after matches. *sigh*
my love for HIM had ended but a thing 4 sure, my loves for de Stags are yet to fade. de feeling is still strong. I'll keep on supporting them though nt as active as before.
and Yeah, till now, I still enter de stadium using complementary tixs or even invitation cards occasionally.
all thanks to HIM who still appreciate my supports for his team.
I shall end here, will b back soon w more updates ;)

nothing special
the olympic football team of Brazil is coming to Spore. so what? what is so special/great bout them? and what is de need to respect/salute them? they r nt de world champ nor de olympic gold medallist.
Ronaldinho is in de team, again, so? I found nthg special in him nwadays. I dont deny that I was amazed by his skills before but dis lately, he is more like a big flop.
and I wanna emphasize here that I'M TRULY DISSAPOINTED WITH DE REMARK MADE BY A RADIO-DJ WHICH SAID THAT OUR LIONS WILL BE THRASHED 20-0 BY THE BRAZILIANS. oh my goodness, what were u thinking about? a sepak takraw match? basketball? or volleyball? or maybe u dont knw what football is? and 1 last quest, have u ever see our LIONS in action? I'M DAMN SURE THAT DE ANSWER IS = NO
I dont have any interest to watch dis match, not that I refuse to support my MIGHTY LIONS but, I'm nt willing to spend so much money on de tixs just bcoz we r playing against Brazil. it is a BIG WASTE, so NO WAY! I may consider to go if dat 'old-man' of mine give me tixs but since my cuzzie (a Msia ftballer) had offered me to pay him a visit & he will bring me 2 watch de match between Msia & Chelsea. though I'm nt a chelsea fan, I still think that my time is better to be spend there ;)
well my MIGHTY LIONS, all de best. show & prove 2 de people that we r nt an easy-meat.

lazy weekend
first of all, my thousands of apologies 2 all de people out there whom I promised that I would come down to de matches at Bishan & Yishun on Sat&Sun respectively. I cudnt make it on both days. sorry once again, my lovelies.
it was raining heavily over at my place on both days at de same time; de time when I need to lve home 4 de match. I love de rain but to go out during a heavy rain, is a BIG NO! I dislike it & I will feel uncomfortable.
to YOU, sorry for telling u at de very last mins coz I was hoping 4 de rain 2 stop so I could c u in action but too bad, it didnt. I didnt mean to dissapoint u, nor did Mama. u know, she never turn u down even for once ;) I always appreciate de tixs given. and thanks 4 ur concern, sweet as ever Mr.Dolphins.

great time with him
my friday was well-spent. spent almost de entire day with him; Mr.Teacher-LH. he was on medical leave yesterday as he had a medical check-up at CGH. so I accompanied him for de check-up, it was scheduled at 10am but biasela, hospital katakan ...
after bout 2-hrs, finally done! both of us were already madly hungry. so took de nearest choice and we had our sumptuous lunch, very fulfilling. YUM-YUM! I always love de nasi lemak @QiJi ;) thn we had popiah .. lapar betol LH as he seldom eat much & he is nt a big eater. if u see de person, haha, u'll see that he is small in size esp with de height he has.
we went to Vivo afterwards, to watch The Dark Knight @GV MAX. an afternoon show and it was like just lil people watching. bagusla, tak memekak! de movie was good, at least we didnt lve de cinema dissapointed coz de last few movies we watched were like, hmm, didnt reach our xpectation! so worth our money dis time round and I must say, de director is superb!
LH suggested a cable-car ride but I ddint want to. afterall it was already early evening ..
finally we cabbed down to ECP to enjoy some gd moments there and of course, my fav, to catch de sunset.. I had a gd time with him, just him. we seldom have dis 'privillege' coz we seldom meet, I mean a meet between de 2 of us coz Lil Prof would always be around or our other besties. so I dare 2 say, dis is de true 1st date though I supposed to send him for check-up aje. well, bagus kan sambil menyelam minum air ;)
I just feel good whenever I'm with him. I dont know why. I admit that I'm enjoying my single-ism dis moments but at times, I do need a companion (I never lack of it esp Bestie Luthfie is always around but there are times when I need a man to comfy me ;p nt saying Luth is nt a man but not him la ok? faham kan?) who will be by my side & someone that i can talk to or share stuffs with. and why him? coz he never push me to start a relationship. he never bring up that matter coz he knows what I want. I need to be out of relationship for de moment. and I dont need any relationship that soon, no hurry! and finally, Mama is right, he has almost de same characteristics like Mr.Dolphin. well people, listen dis, Naluri seorang ibu tu selalu betol. ;)
time passed so fast when we are having gd times so we went for dinner. YumYum .. I love de BBQ stingray there. de sambal is sooo nice coz it is damn spicy and de fish tak hanyi! my fav since my secondary school days. and another thing is, stingray is de only fish I know to peel by myself coz de other fishes, my mama would peel for me ;) dats de childish part of me. so nak control malu ah infront of LH.
brought home some satays for our family.
in de cab on our way home, Mama called me & LH's mum called him. haha, a co-incidence! or I didnt know if they planned to, lol .. Mama asked LH 2 have dinner at my place while his mum asked me too. again, a co-incidence! so both of us decided not to have any at any house ;) I talked to his mum & while he talked 2 my mum that we will drop-by soon, maybe next weekend. yeah, glad that everyone agreed.
and yeah, LH regretted for not driving his car yesterday and de result was, wasting time for de cab even we booked for it, de waiting time was like shit. nt including de time we needed to wait while waiting for de cab number.
he thanked me for willingly sending him for de medical-check-up. and I thanked him for de time he spent with me.
I enjoyed so much. weeeeee .. *wide smile*
and yeah, still thinking when I'm goin to bake Brownie cake ..? and I'll give it to my lovely peeps to taste it! they tasted it before, but dis time with different recipe.
TOMORROW, goin to Yishun stdm to watch de dolphins' match, with Mama. YAY!!! rindu sgt with them all.. so I'll be back soon, take care readers!

some footies update
I'm back with some updates on my 2 fav teams, de Seladang(Perak) & de Stags(Tampines). weee ... for both teams, they won their last 2-games recently. YAY-ness!!! well done, keep up de good form, may more 2 come ;)
for Perak, their last 2-games were against ATM(Armed Forces) & Johor which they won both, 5-1 & 1-0 respectively. I only managed to watch de 1st game and it was really interesting.
in de 1st game, in de opening 30-mins, both teams were attacking non-stop, full of actions & thrills though no goal was produced. Perak went to de half-time with 2-goals lead, scored when halftime almost reaching, by Ahmad Fakri & Carlos Caceres. 2nd half was much more interesting, with perak scoring 3 more goals & ATM had 1 consoaltion goal. both goals by Hardi were really SUPERB, jambu gilerr! de 1st was a long range shot fm outside de box while de 2nd was a well taken elegant freekick. thumbs up!!! hardi is famous with his nice goals. and peral 5th goal was a gift frm ATM. de player who scored that own goal was under big pressure throughout de match, his face xpression could tell it all ;)
another match, against Johor, not much 2 b said since I didnt watch it but de only goal was scored by Carlos Caceres. he is in hot form. good good! hope he'll continue with his gd form so Perak will nt b lacking of striker as KJ is still out injured.
lets move on to my stags, last 2-games were against Dalian & Woodlands. I only managed to catch de match against Dalian @ Queenstown.
a very2 boring match seh! mendak giler! my stags were lil too confident, maybe they were thinking that they could beat Dalian with ease so at de end, they made things difficult for themselves. terkial-kial! lucky enough to win 2-0 even after Dalian was reduced to 10-men. goals were scored by Fara(Mustafic), a shot frm his UNSUCCESSFUL penalty & Aliff de lil master.
I didnt go for de match against woodlands, and I didnt hope much frm dis match based on de stags' not-so-good performance dis lately. but just again, whnver I thought that they'll flop, they didnt. they scored a convincing 3-1 victory. 2-goals were frm de penalty spot so both scored by Fara & while de 1st goal was frm Qiu Li.
next match for de 2-teams are against UPB-MyTeam & Geylang respectively .. may victory be with them .. all de best!! ;)
and yeah, de weekend is knocking! well, both Sat&Sun will be filled with football matches!
will be back soon with more updates ...

de weekend
well, new week just started but let me do some flash back on my weekend. not much activities though, just some gd moments.
kicked off on fri evening, after fetching Lil Prof frm school, I went to EastPoint(simei) to meet Mr.Dolphin. so de routine friday evening dinner session w Mr.teacher-LH was cancelled. he looked a lil dissapointed but as always, he is 1 understanding guy, nah, man.
reached EastPoint a lil early, headed directly to de Starbucks there. found an empty table at a great spot. I was sure that he would be late but its ok, I'm used to it actually. when he reached, I was surprised to see he went to a table near de 1 I was sitting at. huh? I turned around, OMG, how could I didnt realise that that person was there w his wifey? terperanjat berok! well, I should remind myself earlier that de mall is just opposite their apartment. I waved to both of them, still in shock ;) after exchanging greeting w that person, Mr.Dolphin came to me and he was smiling, teasingly. sakit hati seh! and yeah, that person was my 'mantan old-man' in de lion's den. woahaha ..
some interesting conversation w Mr.Dolphin,
him: terperanjat berok nampak?
me: of coz, i didnt notice them frm de moment i arrived.
him: mampos! besar gitu tak nampak ..
me: watever ... *showing my unhappy face*
him: okla2, sorry, maybe u were xcited waiting for my arrival sampai tak sadar?
me: oh please la ..
him: ok2 stop bout them ya, nah this is for u .. *passing me a nicely-wrapped gift*
me: ouh ok, thanks, appreciate it much .. so can I leave *I was testing him since he said de meet-up was just to pass de gift*
him: huh? relax la, I spent my petrol all de way here just 4 u and u wanna lve just like that? what u wanna drink?
me: usual *he know what*
and de conversation goes on ...
we chatted bout many things, kept on laughing .. he is a man full of jokes. if u judge him by looks, I dont deny that he looked unpleasant ;) he is man of lil words actually but once u r close w him, thn he'll b totally a different man.
he insisted to send me back home but I refused coz I could take cab home but he die-die wanted to give me a lift & he took away my phone ;) dats his style dari dulu seh, if I refused to follow his words, he would take 1 of my things away so in order to get my thing back, I will follow him ;) but dun get me wrong, he is not a hard-man, dats de way he showed his affections ;) he is de man whom I seldom see getting agry easily.
Saturday,
nothing much .. at home most of de day except for going to de McDonalds with my lil prof. completed few school werks and yeah, I feel great!
Sunday,
a day out with lil prof & Mr.Teacher-LH. went out for lunch. mama supposed to join us but she had weddings to attend. just a simple lunch at de foodcourt @Tampines Central. thn we went to look for a soccer ball, lil prof wanted a new one. not many choices since there were only 2 stores selling. none caught his attention so ended up buying a new lorry for him. he loves playing with lorries, cars & bikes. he has a lot at home but still, its hard to turn him down. he got two new toys which are de lorry & another educational toy frm his teacher. ohhh, kalau dah teacher tu teacher jugak kan? so far all de toys he bought are those educational ones. but good la actually.
went to de arcade after that, OMG, de place was damn crowded la .. both de boys had fun while me, admiring de fun they were sharing, LOL. I saw de childish side of LH which is always covered by his fierce look at school.
bumped into his colleague, that ANDALUSIA .. haha .. she was really unhappy to see us. haha, he is badly in love with LH but LH doesnt have any special feeling for her and anyway, she is 8-yrs older thn LH. she is de 1 who always trying to find my lil prof mistake at school & would scold him over lil things. oh come on teacher, be professional. dont express ur unhappiness to my lil boy, come & talk to me if u r unhappy with any stuffs, I'll honour that.
a lil out of topic, LH has 2 other colleagues who r in love with him too, both are arnd my age but too bad, LH couldnt accept their loves but I respect both of them. they r wise enough to split between personal & profession stuffs.
well, dats all ... looking fwd for a gd week ahead .. will b back soon!

Seladang Ku ...
suddenly I got de urge to blog bout this matter which has been 'dancing' in my mind since de 1st day I got to knw bout it.
it is very sad to know that they didnt get their salary. they; de Perak players & coaching staffs. they didnt get their pay for more thn 3-months now. imagine that we are in their shoes, its nt easy, right? bitter 2 swallow but that is a reality.
and when someone I know and care about is among those suffering from de prob, I feel de pain too.
even w/o receiving their pay, they didnt have any chance to protest nor stop working. they still attend their daily training sessions & playing competetive matches week in-and-out. all this they did w/o getting any single cent.
adding to my sadness is upon learning that their group of fans collected some amount of money and paid for de team transportation; de team bus I mean and when I got to know that the coach used his own credit card to pay for de team's accomodation when de coach himself is salary-less. I was so amazed. I salute de fans for their never-ending supports & also de high spirits dat de team has.
w/o any money, how de players gonna survive? de married players have wife&kids to feed while de singles, are mostly de main contribution to their family's income.
pity them. they might have de savings in de bank, but till when? for how long can they survive & rely on? lama2 habis jugak, kan?
if I'm in dis situation, I dont think I'll be strong enough.
how could all de non-understanding people out there just know to crticise rather thn analyse? or even understand?
how do u expect them to perform well when probs & burden are troubling them?
in every match, they step on to de field w/o a peaceful mind. berserabut!
just look at de team's captain .. kesian kan?
well, I'm fully alert that results have not been really kind with de team, far frm ideal for a big team like them.
I just hope that strength will nvr fade frm them even for a second. so put in pride in every match and I hope de team can do de best in de remaining matches of de Msia Cup. chance to qualify for de next round is still widely-opened.
I'll always support de team no matter what, thru ups & downs. I knw it has never been easy esp with de additional critics frm de heartless people. its easy 4 them to say anythg coz they didnt face n feel it.
well done Perak for de recent victory over Pahang. 2-0. my praises for all de patience n determination. my heart goes to everyone in de team, be it de coach Steve Darby, de seniors like KJ, Hamsani & capt Ahmad Shahrul , de foreigners Carlos Caceres (CC), Jorge Munoz & Mario to de youngsters like Fakri & Razaly.
thumbs up 2 de fans as well, for all their efforts.
to KJ, get well soon ya frm de injury. de team needs u so much at dis period of difficult times to get de goals. ur presence is important.
tapi baik2 ye, jgn JAHANAM ur knee tu. I still remember fondly how u emphasised de word 'jahanam' dat night, sampai ter mimpi2 gitu. it was real funny la ;)
Kejar Yob Kejar! Skor Yob Skor!
buktikan Perak masih bernyawa walau bermasaalah.
will be back soon, again!

good kick-off
I'm in school now, having my long-break be4 de next class start. hehe .. my day started pretty early today where my 1st lesson started at 8.30 and ended at 10.30. next lesson will start at 12 so i have time to blog since I got nthg else better to do. and I'm sitting infront of 1 my retard bestie, Hassan Sugiarto, or affectionately known as Wak Achan by me & others. he is doing de last mins touch-up on his assingment which I just checked for ;) mcm mana nye pandai aku ni, haha.
woke up on time dis morning, half hour early to b exact and Mama was surprised, as usual. maklum la this only daughter of her always has a big problem to wake up for morning class. LOL. I feel very refreshed this morning, went to school with a wide smile on my face. smiled to almost everyone I bumped into at school. this is how I am when I'm in gd mood.
woahaha, maybe it is all due to de call I received frm Mr.Dolphin last night. pretty surprised coz he would sms usually. he asked bout my well-bein & bout Mama n Prof too. just a short, sweet & simple conversation but I was so happy coz at least, I was on his mind.
after almost 3-yrs, I will meet him in few hrs time (or should I say a date). nthg special about de 'date', just wanna pass me my birthday gift, that wat he said so as usual, I hate to turn people down so I guess there is nthg wrong to meet him, right? ;)
well, de just ended-leson was doing well, great, though that old lecturer was like merepek gitu. I dont know why he always trying to make works difficults for us. NVM Sir, I'm able to cope, still. it is like a challenge so de more complicated it is, de stronger my determination will be to complete de task.
anyway, Mama is slightly happy with few 'changes' that I made and she is hoping all that will last long coz I'm 'FAMOUS' with 'setengah jalan' thingy. haha! I know I'd dissapoint her on many occasions but still, she believe I can b a better person. only time will tell. thanks Mama.
lil update on my lil prof, *sob sob* he is having hard times to cope with his study. not much improvement even after half-a-year in pri.1. I'm worried for his slow progress.
I'm doing my best to make him a better learner, so does Mr.teacher-LH. but as for now, all our efforts are yet to bear fruit. it is stressfull sein my own lil bro struggling where myself, never encounter all that.
Mama always remind me that not everyone is born with great mind/ability. she said that I might be de smartest in de family but Lil Prof has his own abilities/talents to cover up for his weaknesses in academic. like he can dance & play football well. I agreed. yeah it is a fact that he can do both activities with excellence. and I'm confident he can be a gd soccer player 1-day, in GOALKEEPING ;) he has more interest in that positon though his fav person play in more attacking role.
so different people come with different ability. I admit that I'm hoping too much frm him which I knw wont bring any good but more harm on him, based on de situation he is in now.
I'll lower my expectation, a promise.
a lil more on Mr.Dolphin, Mama wilb be so happy whenever hearing bout him. they are close, damn close till at times, I feel Mama loves him more thn me. those who know me & family well, will agree for sure.
Mama is still hoping that I'l go back to him but Mama, please know that it is de hardest thing to be done & I dont think it'll ever happen. stop hoping coz both of us hate to dissapoint u but we know it is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to fulfil ur wish though we didnt rule it out fully.
what matter most to us after de break-up 3-yrs ago was, to get along well. so we are glad that we managed to put all de old stories behind and became good fren, till NOW.
he is so special in Mama's eyes and she repeatedly claimed that only Bestie Luthfie & Mr.teacher-LH can match Mr.Dolphin. DUHHHHH!
and thats why I still think that falling in love with him was de best thing that ever happened in my life so far. but seriously, having him as a lover. I felt secured. with all those tender touch, higs, kisses & protection. and thats why de memories' flame still burning even after 3-yrs de love boat destroyed, I guess.
I'd 2 other relationships after that but both, FAILED. though nt fully, but I admit that my hope of wanting a new lover just like him played part in de failure coz, that was too much of hope. and after de recent failure just a couple of months ago, I realised that I'm nt ready to commit to any new relationship just yet despite de thoughts many people have that LH is de new man in my life. I dont deny nor agree. :)
and yeah, thank u LH for de helps, just again. ur guidance really help me lots and my learning journey is smoother with u around. and thanks too for ur never-ending efforts that u put in to help Lil Prof.
when ur mum told me that I'm important in ur life, it was hard 2 believe at first. but as days passed, I started to feel de same as well. I wont dare to give any hope coz I hate 2 dissapoint just like how I hate to be dissapointed when I'm hoping. so we just wait & see where it'll go frm here. if we are mean to be together, love will find its way.
I shall end here, dah panjang sgt my entry .. will be back soon :)
*Mama, what about a teacher for ur teacher-to-be-daughter? sounds great, kan? LOL. I'd enough of sportsmen actually after 3 failed relationship, and it hurts. so, Mama? weeeee*

bad day
not that bad actually, but my day started badly. well, padan muka aku, banyak sgt ketawakan orang be4 went to sleep. ooohhh I had a gr8 convo on de phone w Aida & Wak Achan be4 sleeping, updating them on de match btween Tamp & HomeU, ngumpat2 orang & my mantan 'old man' (name given by Double-H) was de main 'victim'. LOL
and bcoz of that, I cudnt wake up on time dis morning.
supposed to lve home nt later thn 8am so I must wake up at 7 but I kept hitting de snooze button and mama kept shouting to wake me up, but all to no avail. duhhh! seriously, my eyes couldnt open seh. I didnt have enough sleep despite all de efforts I put in (no laptop/pc & games after 12mn). hmmm .. I woke up at 7.45
called bestie Wak Achan (de only 1 left who is still studying just like me, same school, same course some more) and was real lucky he hadnt gone to school yet. he was waiting for me padahal ... he called my mobile & home phone for more thn 5 times, mama said. so we decided to cab down to school, haha, no choice la .. by de time I wanted 2 lve de house, it was already 8.40 and dats mean, class will start in 50-mins time .. OMG. kerja gila la .. kalau sekolah kat sebelah rumah takpe!!
lucky lucky me that I didnt need to wait long 4 de cab thn fetched Achan (lucky as well that we stay nearby). traffic was a lil shitty la, biasela busy hours seh. orang kalau dah lambat, semua tak kene.
reached school just 5-mins be4 class started but yeah, de taxi fare was nearly $30. so split de bill! arrghhh, lucky money is rarely a prob in my life. thanks God!
well, upon seeing Mr.Bryan's face, semangat nak belajar membara seh! haha, dont get me wrong k, I'm not in love with him but he is a gr8 lecturer ever and he nvr fail to motivate us in every single lesson. and he always remind me of Mr.Teacher-LH ;)
de class was supposed to be 4-hrs long but due to some probs, Mr.Bryan needed to dismiss us early, very early as we only attended lesson for 1 hour and 20mins. OMG. a lil pissed off actually coz I rushed down to school like mad and even cabbed down. !!!!!!!!!! Achan was like, mumbling to himself too soon de lecturer left de class. haha!
headed back to his house soon after, to discuss some school werks. but went out of topic most of de times. dats us ;)
home sweet home after dat, and I was really exhausted. barrpppp! landed myself on my bed, woahhh! best nyeeee.. Mama was nt at home so did Lil Prof. bored bored bored! and I fall asleep soon after ;)
so now, since woke up an hour ago, lazying here and there .. finally decided to blog a super duper long boring entry!!!
dats all 4 now, back again soon!

SOS Cup
well, first of all, I mean no harm nor offence to anyone so if my words do hurt any party, pls know that I dont have de intention to do so.
SOS Cup 2008, de winner for de veteran game was de Singapore team while for de 2nd game, de Selangor team beat de all-star S-League selection in de shootout after score was tied at 2-2 at de end of 90mins.
well done, red-giant! I'm super-duper proud of them though I'm a Singaporean. bcoz, they were de underdogs esp with their recent results which were nt really good & upon comparing de squad they had & de S-League Selection (SS) squad, I felt like it was unfair. but de red-giant proved de critics wrong, they gave SS a real fight and they could even win it if Ashrin didnt get de late equaliser. if they had win it by 90mins, I'll be 1 happy person, real happy.
well, de football is round and anythg can happen in football. nothing is impossible.
so I was very delighted with de result and a thing 4 sure, I want to show to de people in de KallangRoar Forum, my decision to defend Msia Football didnt go waste. another thing is, please la people, dont look down on Msia Football when our country is not that good yet. yes, I fully admit that we are in de upper hand but seriously, not really much different in standard.
and well, de reason that de players in de SS didnt give all out becoz they have their upcoming Spore cup matches in mind is UNACCEPTABLE. hey come on, once u r selected, please, show ur PROFESSIONALISM.
and de reason they only had 1 training session together, is UNACCEPTABLE AS WELL. almost half of de squad members are those in de national team who just played with each other for few matches in de recent world cup qualifier.
well, I wont go any futher coz I still love them also. so LESSON LEARNT!
and lastly, red-giant 'captain marvel' rocks!
till here .. will b back soon .. bubbyeee!

back to school
new school term had started few days back. and I'm having hard time to cope with de morning class due to my sleeping pattern. i tried to put myself away frm de PC/laptop but still, I couldnt sleep. ended up sleeping at 3 or 4am. and thats mean I only have about 3-hrs of sleeping.
it is really worrying me & Mama, too. I need to focus real much in class and there is no room 2 slack. slacking means a disaster is waiting to struck. I really look serious in my study bcoz that is my future. that is my goal. and that is what I want to be. and that is where Mama's hope is.
well, new term is just few days old but school works are increasing. research books & notes are piling up on my study desk. yet to be touched. I need to do all de reading, analysing every matters, bla bla bla. but I'm confident that I'll manage to cope with everythg (de early wake-up, assingments, etc) soon. and for sure, I never submit my works late.
so besties, I think lesser time with u guys. time for me & Wak Achan to 'flirt' with all de books & notes.. haha ...
yeah, I'm in school now and class is just seconds away ... will be back soon ;)

birthday
Posted by yatty at 10:40:00 PM 0 comments
officially 22
first of all, my million thanks to all who wished me on my birthday. be it my family members, relatives, besties, close frens & even net frens, I appreciate it sooo much.
all de wishes made my day. thanks too for de cards, hugs, kisses & gifts. I was so touched by all de efforts.
and yeah, special mention to Mama, Lil Prof, Busu(my closest aunt AKA Ummi Ita), de 3 kiddos (Fifi, Mimi & Iman) & Mr.Teacher-LH for de celebrations & cakes. and not forgetting my besties (Luth, Aida, Wak Achan & Mickey) & Double-H for planning up my upcoming celebration. its ok guys, I dont mind celebrating it a lil late as I fully understood our schedules are totally mixed-up.
well, I'm happy, very much happy indeed on my birthday (1 July) as all the people who matter most to me wished me! thanks again. not forgetting HIM in Msia & also HIM in Serbia.
and OMG, de biggest surprise was, Abby (my closest & bestest cuzzie) is back from Egypt w/o me knowing at all. A SURPRISE RETURN TOTALLY and she nearly gave me & mama a heart-attack when we saw her at home upon returning from bedok stdm. welcome home!!! finally, after about 8-mths of missing her, she is back!!! honestly, I was wondering why she didnt call me from Egypt to wish me, padahal dah kat Spore pon.. ;)
on a lil not really happy note, I was startled with de news in de Strait Times yesterday. de news really made me shock! I just woke up when Mama passed me de strait times and she looked sad. I was wondering why. but when I took a look, OMG, mcm nak terputus jantung ni seh.
de 1st question came to my mind was, why did he remained silent? and I agree on what his bestie said on de paper, very much agreed coz we didnt see him spending soo much all dis while. and now, why he refused to open up even with his bestie who'd shared so many ups & downs with him in de past years? its true that de latter is already married & has his own family but FOR SURE, he wont leave you out just like that. esp when he always realised that bcoz of u, he is here & had achieved dis much. and to my dissapointment, he just talked with me on de phone de night be4 wishing me a happy birthday. *sigh*
and to make de matter worst is, that KallangRoar forum. I dont know why the people there hate him soo much. never stop criticising & make fun of him. I dont think he has done anythg wrong towards them, and I think he dont even notice that those people are alive in dis world.
totally, I'm sad. I havent talk to his bestie just yet though he wished me on my birthday so I hope to talk to him soon to get de better view of dis matter.
I hope everythg will b fine soon.
till here 1st, will b back soon!
