INTERHOUSE CHAMPIONSHIPS.

okay okay here is desperadoz.blogspot.com's LONG OVERDUE update on the IHC.

just came back from track & field meet. super happy lah. but let's start from monday.

MONDAY. interhouse basketball. me, steward, yi qin, aston, avery, teck ming. first match we lost to buckley. we won hullett next.

lol i actually scored the winning basket to make it 18-16 but i didnt know until after the match when everyone was like wahhh game winner sia haha. wah i thought we were leading by alot lor so i made the shot. if i knew we were tied i would have been damn pressured. lol.

moor was next. me and steward didnt play cause we said we'll come in during 2nd half. when it was half time we were actually LEADING the DEFENDING CHAMPS 18-10. so of course me and goon decided not to go in. why tinker with a winning formation? but angry moor threw in Ray Wen and Jerik in the 2nd half and it was ggxx. they rallied back to win it. damn it.

last match was against morrison. we won. so in the end win 2 lose 2, clinched 4th position overall.

TUESDAY. nothing. they wanted me to go for tennis but after the basketball matches on monday my ankle was hurting like crap and i decided to rest and spend my time in my home turf - in comb lab 7 cybergaming. lol.

WEDNESDAY. frisbee! PCB were widely anticipated to clinch gold. i went down, but didnt play for more than 5mins. expected the rest of the more experienced PCB to finish the job but ALAS! we lost 2 and won 2 to finish a meagre 4th. very disappointed.

THURSDAY. soccer! supposed to go for volleyball but sean zhong called me wednesday night and asked me to go down for soccer so okay. first match was against buckle buckley. barely a minute passed when my diving header was saved at point blank range by the buckley goalie. DAMN. drew 1-1 in the end.

next match was against hullett. crazy. lost 3-1.

then it started raining. so soccer was postponed in the end, till next thursday.

FRIDAY. WHICH IS TODAY. track and field! whooohoooo. went down at 3.10pm. was feeling quite sleepy lah wtf haha AND my ankle was STILL not 100%. started to warm up and everything. after all 100m was scheduled to be at 3.30pm. then 3.26pm IT STARTED RAINING damn heavily. wtf.

had to wait. totally cooled down and became damn stoned. haha. they set the time at 4pm. and sure enough by 3.50 it started clearing up. mark tang said his thigh was dead already and went off. lol. dunno where he disappeared to but he got IAN VANDERPUT to take his place.

good thinking on morrison-richardson's part, but bad for everyone of us. u will know why later.

the races were straight finals. meaning everyone runs ONCE only, and they compile all the timings and the 3 fastest get the medals. haha.

my finals was with IAN VANDERPUT, kuan fu, aik kwan, and 2 other guys. i finished 4th la damn it all the others so fast cb. haha. i think overall im like 5th if im lucky, but probably 6th or 7th. IAN VANDERPUT was 11.3 secs CRAZY ASS.

then straight after that was 400m. hell i didnt even sign up but yejie said bayley short of runners so OKAY for the sake of my beloved house i decided to go run. the worst part about running 400m is u can see everyone chionging ahead in front of u and u are damn pressured to chiong after them.

the race started and after 100m 4 people were already like ahead and im like SHIT but i had to keep disciplined and stayed at my own pace.

bong chionged all the way till the 300m mark then he lost steam. lol. when i turned to the last 100m there were 3 guys in front of me. cb i started sprinting. then i heard someone (a girl's voice, lol) from the stands shout "GO KEEFE" and i pushed even more. overtook 2 other guys and just finished behind stuart. whoohooo damn happy lah. 1.01mins. last year i ran 1.07 so it was a very good improvement.

some came to congratulate me on a good finish to the race and yeah i kinda liked it very much myself. haha. ok hell i liked it alot.

after that felt damn crap. my chest was damn pain lah then upper stomach also. felt abit like vomiting and abit like gastric pain. dunno la. rested lor was about to sign up for 200m also LOL. i think if i went i probably would have collapsed.

GOON finished 2nd overall for 200m! whoohoo. guess who got first lah cb IAN VANDERDRUGS. i am SURE he ran 100m, 400m and 200m CONSECUTIVELY with hardly any rest in between and finished 1st for ALL. wtf.

4x100m i ran again. me, steward, some indian guy, and avery. finished 4th. quite sucky.

then came the last part. INTER CCA 4x100m relay! LOL. supposed to have softball own everyone's ass or at least put up a good fight but mark tang was NOWHERE IN SIGHT, kuanfu said no cause he just ran 4x400m and was too tired, and shou yee said no cause he very slow in 100m.

so it's like WTF left me. then i spotted steward and aik kwan. they said they wanted to run and were finding 2 more. so i asked them to join me lah and we run under RAFFLES CYBERGAMINGS. after all im the chairman so if i say allow, means allow. hahahahaha.

then heard from someone that WONG LI said he really wanted to run as well so OKAY gogogogo aik kwan went and called him over to join us. haha he agreed so SET gogogo.

when the person announced on the loudhailer the CCAs involved in intercca 4x100m everyone went hysterical after hearing "RAFFLES CYBERGAMINGS" as one of the CCAs after a list of "rugby team 1, soccer, canoeing, track, hockey, etc".

hahahaha. one of the trackers said it sounds funny that a bunch of computer gamers are actually running. and alot others were like laughing and saying "GO CYBERGAMINGS"

i was first runner, wong li ran 2nd, aik kwan ran 3rd and steward ran last.

we ended up pwning all and finishing first in our finals LOL damn satisfying. got 3rd overall behind track and rugby team 1. haha a medal for me!

lol damn fun lah. the joke's that cybergaming guys were so damn fast cause we had boots of travel and picked up a haste rune. ahahaha JOKES.

my thighs are hurting like crap now. i figure it will only get worse tmr. but im damn happy lah. today's one of the best days of my rjc life even though i only brought home 1 bronze medal.

yayyyy next year's gonna be even more fun:)

so PCB went to play soccer at the semi-D. damn fun. then i sprained my ankle. smart. my dad couldn't come and fetch me home cause he was working. so i had to go home by myself. BY TRAIN.

i was supposed to rest my ankle and ice it. lol but after a while i thought i could move and walk so i decided to just walk home. ice wasn't available anyway.

walked the whole stretch from rjc to bishan mrt. lol crazy. "limped" is a better word. whoohooo.

whooohoo busy weekend

eh sry i was supposed to update on friday but i was very busy. so here's the post gogogogo.

SATURDAY. viva world cup! whooohooo. from 8am-4pm, for 8 hours, i earned CIP hours just like that -- sitting there playing winning eleven and fifa world cup 2006 on the ps2.

YES it was that easy. +manning the stall lah. and asking for donations. but it was mainly just sit there and play and have fun and earn CIP hours. whoohooo i like.

after that went to andreu's house for a gathering. played tennis. j1 vs j2 tennis! we had doubles and singles matchups. me and yi rui teamed up and WON dao zhe and justin. YEAH. kuan fu lost though and kumarga lost also for their singles matches so i think overall we lost nooooooo=(

dinner was great too and we all had a wonderful time. haha went up to andreu's house to play ps2. was there with yr, daniel and chongzhi. then michelle and dawn, j2s from touch rugby were in andreu's room and andreu forced me and yi rui to play cards with them.

we played some card game called SWAP! and had a very................... er. unforgettable experience. lol.

SUNDAY! class CIP. we sold flags for the Straits Times Pocket Money Fund. it was really damn cool. my first time selling flags and i'd always wanted to sell flags. after this experience i still wanna sell more! whooohoooo damn fun leh.

we were allowed to go anywhere so me, shenglin, benny, hashir, james, yi yuan and ningrui went bugis. shenglin, benny and i then proceeded to some guan yin temple in bugis cause shenglin said that was the best place to get donations. LOL.

the experience was really nice. i stood there, in the hot sun, just smiling and asking politely for donations. actually this kinda thing is either they want to or not. cannot keep asking, like some pple i've seen in mrt stations doing. some ask till like their begging for donations. wtf. if someone doesn't wanna donate, they DON'T. some look unsure if they wanna donate or not, then MUST ASK u will make up their mind for them haha.

i saw alot of sides of singaporeans yesterday. some were rude pple and some were really generous. the worst experience was when i asked some if they would like to donate and they just walk past as if u were talking to the wall. like WTF. seriously feel like whacking them up.

i mean if u don't wanna donate, the least u can do is smile and say 'no' or just simply smile and walk away. but some walk past as if they didn't see u at all. wtf lah really ass leh.

there were really generous pple though. i myself have never donated more than $1 to such pple selling flags, but some really generous one just slipped $2 or even $5 notes. the most unforgettable one was an encounter with a young mum with her son.



keefe : hi ma'am would u like to make a donation to the Straits Times Pocket Money Fund?

mum: (talking to her son) u wanna donate?

son: okay sure! (takes out $5 note from pocket and moves forward to put the money into my donation bag)

keefe : thank you (i was actually thinking "u crazy guy wanna donate $5 ah siao")

mum: u are going to donate everything? if u spend all i won't give u anymore hor.. (exactly what i was thinking)

son: yar, never mind, just donate lor! (proceeds to slip the $5 note into my donation bag)

keefe: !?!?!?!



wah this kinda boy pro. i like. in the first place why would such a small boy have $5 in his pocket i dunno. probably some rich family. in that case his parents are really commendable they taught him the right values. good start. haha.

i think now i will donate abit more generously le. haha.

ANYWAYS. after our flag day we had loads of fun, playing daytona at the arcade and owning the computer in virtua striker 3 as i always do. hahahaha. for more info check out http://07s03g.blogspot.com whoohoo gogogo got video somemore damn funny CHECK IT OUT.

okay byebye.

wassup with mr brown?

wassup with l'infantile terrible of singapore?

before i get to that, let me sidetrack. i think mr brown and PCB have alot in common. he's l'infantile terrible of singapore, PCB's l'infantile terrible of RJC! hahahahaha.

if you dunno why i say that, or haven't heard of the infamous PCB gang, perhaps u would like to visit the wonderful PCB blog here at www.pcbsyndicate.blogspot.com and check out the latest stunt that PCB pulled off. LOL. it can be BEST DESCRIBED AS "WTF". SERIOUSLY. (need to scroll down till u find pictures)

ANYWAYS. back to mr brown. this guy's column in Today got suspended. he's well known for his political satires so obviously one of the responses would be the uneducated response and it would be along the lines of "there, there, there! knn see the gahmen trying to silence him, so ban his column".

well then u are most probably just a blind opposition supporter. cause a pro-PAP or even neutral (and normal, not to mention educated response) would be "o.O what did he do (wrong)?", instead of immediately jumping into conclusions, bitches.

of course we have to look at both sides of the story, so i surfed mrbrown.com yesterday (+ downloaded alot of podcasts. funny. LOL) and read quite a number of his articles. i think his humour is slightly better than rockson's. lol.

then i read his article in TODAY. the one that got him banned. and i didn't laugh at all. it wasn't funny like his previous ones. this one was different. it has that sarcastic, negative tone about it. it felt angsty. check it out for urself here. http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2006/07/today_sporeans_.html

it doesn't take one much to realise that. unless of course u're just another uneducated piece of shit, as mentioned above. if u read the article just like any other GP/english comprehension passage, one that would probably have "What is the author's tone throughout the article?" as one of its 2 mark questions, u SHOULD detect the dark, sarcastic, even provocative tone of his. this is rather unlike him, i must stress again.

what's gone wrong with him? did he finally realise that he was writing an article for a national newspaper hence he decided to take matters into his own hands and sway from his usual satricial, humorous, yet not-over-the-line writing style? maybe we'll never know.

anyway, here's the much criticised letter from MICA (Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts). again, i do not see anything wrong with what K Bhavani has tried to put across. some of those who criticised her letter probably didn't even read much of it -.- in bold is what i thought was really true and i agreed upon totally.


Letter from K BHAVANI
Press Secretary to the Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts

Your mr brown column, "S'poreans are fed, up with progress!" (June 30) poured sarcasm on many issues, including the recent General Household Survey, price increases in electricity tariffs and taxi fares, our IT plans, the Progress Package and means testing for special school fees.

The results of the General Household Survey were only available after the General Election. But similar data from the Household Expenditure Survey had been published last year before the election.

There was no reason to suppress the information. It confirmed what we had told Singaporeans all along, that globalisation would stretch out incomes.

mr brown must also know that price increases in electricity tariffs and taxi fares are the inevitable result of higher oil prices.

These were precisely the reasons for the Progress Package — to help lower income Singaporeans cope with higher costs of living.

Our IT plans are critical to Singapore's competitive position and will improve the job chances of individual Singaporeans. It is wrong of mr brown to make light of them.

As for means testing for special school fees, we understand mr brown's disappointment as the father of an autistic child. However, with means testing, we can devote more resources to families who need more help. (//side note, just like bursaries are for poorer ones right? common sense-.-)

mr brown's views on all these issues distort the truth (/side note, this is contestable since we dun really know what's the actual truth) .They are polemics dressed up as analysis, blaming the Government for all that he is unhappy with. He offers no alternatives or solutions. His piece is calculated to encourage cynicism and despondency, which can only make things worse, not better, for those he professes to sympathise with. (//I TOTALLY 100% AGREE WITH THE 2 STATEMENTS. U wanna criticise, then bloody hell give solutions or suggestions on how to tackle the problem.)

mr brown is entitled to his views. But opinions which are widely circulated in a regular column in a serious newspaper should meet higher standards. Instead of a diatribe mr brown should offer constructive criticism and alternatives. And he should come out from behind his pseudonym to defend his views openly. (//what more can i say? spot-on.)

It is not the role of journalists or newspapers in Singapore to champion issues, or campaign for or against the Government. If a columnist presents himself as a non-political observer, while exploiting his access to the mass media (//this was EXACTLY what i had suggested earlier) to undermine the Government's standing with the electorate, then he is no longer a constructive critic, but a partisan player in politics.

World Cup fever.

world cup fever has hit me. literally.

been down with fever since tuesday. damn. but still been going to school. i think now the fever slightly gone but the sore throat still persists. and it's REALLY SORE.

wtf i dun even dare to swallow my saliva cause it will hurt like crap. AS IN REALLY HURT A HELL LOT. wtf i've never experienced such a sore throat before.

anyway. france won, so desperadoz.blogspot.com's predicktor still rings true.

this are the predicktor's final predictions for the remaining 2 world cup matches:

Germany 2-0 Portugal (Germany clinch 3rd place)

France 1-0 Italy (France win the World Cup)

whoohooo hope france wins seriously.

anyway enjoy this song! it's a switch to english songs, with this new switchfoot song! lol. it's called Stars, probably alot of u have heard it before, but this is the acoustic version, which is alot nicer and easier to listen to. cheeers.

wtf, another singaporean blogger wants to bite the dust?

i am feeling quite annoyed now. if u all remembered, the Viva World Cup committee called me up and asked Cybergamings club to set up a Fifa World Cup 2006 gaming stall during the Viva World Cup festival, which is gonna be held next next Saturday, 15 July, from 9am onwards, at RJC.

i thought that my blog probably gets more hits a day than the Viva World Cup website (LOL!) so i decided that i should publicise it abit on my blog, after all we are gonna play a part as well.

i forgot the website address, so i decided to do a search on Google by typing the words "Viva World Cup RJC". smart me.

the first website that turned up in the search was some guy's blog, and he was actually talking abt it. i think he has a team which is gonna participate in the soccer competition or sth, but that's not the point. i saw something that made my blood boil. here's a screenshot.



wtf? the word CHINA in caps and bold somemore, as if there's something wrong with China scholars organising it? wtf? the organizer spoke to me and he's a really nice guy. so i dun see anything wrong. wtf. trying to start a war here issit. he has a poor excuse for a face, to begin with.

go feel free to leave ur comments on his tagboard. dammit. he calls himself humourboi. that was anything but humourous. bloody hell. and he claims to be working in the government sector somemore. WTF?

ANYWAY. here is the Viva World Cup website. www.vivaworldcup06.com

more on what cybergamings is doing. we are gonna set up a Fifa World Cup 06 gaming stall (PS2/xbox, still undecided). pay to play, winner stays. all proceeds will go to charity.

sounds damn fun, i'll be there. those soccer game pros shld go down and CHALLENGE ME. hahahaha. remember, Saturday July 15th. 9am onwards till about 6pm. at RJC. all are welcome.

a stub in the back, smokers


whooohooo. the ban of smoking in public places has officially gone underway since July 1st at hawker centres, coffeeshops, cafes and fast-food outlets.

Anyone caught flouting the rule will be slapped with a S$200 fine for the first offence and there will be no buts about it. (jokes, nice try)

7,400 food outlets
in Singapore will be affected by the smoking ban, which takes effect on Saturday the 1st of July. Under new regulations, smokers are not allowed to light up in 3,500 eateries which have no outdoor refreshment areas.

As for the 3,900 outlets that have outdoor seating, 1,900 will be going smoke-free. For example, Newton Food Centre, a popular tourist spot and one of Singapore's favourite hawker centres will reopen on 1st July after renovations, the same day the new smoking ban comes into effect, and it will be a smoke-free zone.

yeah man ok i'll be patronizing Newton Food Centre more often now haha.

many smokers are complaining abt the inconvenience; in that case desperadoz.blogspot.com has 2 suggestions for you:

1) quit smoking
2) shove that cigarette butt up ur ass

well if u dear readers never knew, now u know; keefe hates smokers, and hate isn't even close to describing the feeling. my grandparents used to smoke, and whenever i saw them i urged them to quit while trying to describe the dire consequences that may arise if they didn't.

not like they can really understand the terms, so i just say if u continue to smoke u are gonna die. and i continued pushing the message across for quite a bit of time.

it actually works u know. persistence pays off and my grandparents really did quit smoking. haha probably also cause they really like me and if u're beloved grandson keeps shouting death threats at u everytime u see him, u'll probably quit as well haha.

the point is, keefe hates smokers, but he leaves them alone. if they relac one corner and waste their lives away, i don't give a shit abt them. but inconsiderate guys who blow smoke into pple's faces, that just pisses me off.

like when im walking down the street and there's a guy walking in front of me. then suddenly POOF magical white smoke rushes at my face but i didn't rub no lamp man (good try, keefe).

then wtf it stinks. i try to get it out of my nose by blowing out vigorously but some has already gotten it. i walk forward and tap the guy on the shoulder, he turns around and says "simi taiji?" (what's the problem?)

i point at his cigarette butt and say "this is the taiji" and proceeds to slap him across the face. then i take the cigarette butt and shoved it up his nostrils.

he lies on the floor, breathless, apologising profusely to me as i walk away, feeling cool and invincible.

nah just joking. the guy shouted "kan ni nah, chiong ah" and suddenly i found myself surrounded by big, muscular tattooed men who looked like they beat people up for a living.

moral of the story? don't mess with smokers. just cheer on the government as they increasingly make life difficult for them (raised cigarette taxes, increased smoking bans).

haha.

gogogo PAP i love what u're doing.

END OF COMMON TESTS

whooohoooo. end of common tests yesterday. and what was the first thing i did? have a McDonald's Pepper Drumlets Meal lunch.

i keep seeing it in advertisements everywhere, publicising it as THE world cup meal. wtf. so i decided to give it a try. it was probably my last.

wtf. FIRSTLY it cost $6.85. for FOUR pieces of pepper drumlets, twister fries and green tea.

secondly, WHAT does the "let" in "drumlet" mean? YES. just as "pigLET" means "small pig", "drumLET" means "small drumstick".

cb. their drumLET really damn small. wtf. 4 pieces of small chicken, which don't even taste special. everyone knows KFC is THE authority in chickens besides geylang, if u know what i mean.

thirdly, the drumlets were FREAKING OILY. wtf. the drumlet skin was damn thick. i peeled it off and underneath it was a layer of white fat. WTF. and once u peel the skin off u are practically left with half the drumlet, so u are kinda supposed to eat everything.

and THAT means fat, fat and fat. now we know what Ronaldo's favourite meal is.

FOURTLY, the twister fries. wtf i used to really like twister fries. but now they have got too salty to be devoured. YUCKS. damn freaking salty, and some were burnt. (read: BLACK in colour)

the only good thing was the green tea.

sad. mcdonalds, sigh.

ANOTHER NEW CAO GE SONG! whooohooooo from his album again. i like i like. ENJOY.
