Second to no one.

Win! Victory. One of the best competition I've ever played so far. Not because we win its because I reunited with my old team minus Kan Huey Ding lmao (Don't worry Ding it was nothing we couldn't handle). Teamwork is still there despite not playing for together for a long long long time. To our opponents, you put up a good fight but didn't give us a good run for our money. I guess when it comes down to it, experience determines the outcome. You get an 'A' for effort and see you again next year ;) keep on practicin'. I had to switch from Point Guard to Power Forward position because in the 3 years we never played together I grew taller than someone hahaha (sorry Yau I had to say it xD)


Exam tomorrow~
la la la

Dear Anderson Ang and Jeffrey Leong you will be missed in Taman Desa. Anderson at least you're still in Malaysia lmao see you in 3 months. To Jeff take care dude hope to see you this December. Remember our business deal arh open mamak in UK hahaha.

I believe my auntie has gotten a wakeup call. Why did I say that? Well as usual during family gatherings uncles and aunties will be talking around about how good their child is or how amazing their achievements are and bla bla bla... but I never attend these gatherings because for one, their not my actual family even though I'd rather call my aunt and uncle as mom and dad I still don't have that sense of belonging to a family (Yes even if I've already lived here for 20 years). And secondly I grew up in the shadow of auntie's daughter and son both graduated overseas and were like model students. Then came along me with only talent in words, sports and music not the type of child any traditional minded parent/guardian would want. And because of this I've always been looked down on, always getting compared to her son and daughter. Whatever I achieved in sports, music, drill, debates etc. etc. were nothing to my auntie and uncle (not even those in National and International levels).

They both always had no confidence in me and so had nothing to say about me during their family gatherings except how lazy I am or how many subjects I flunked. Every medal and trophy I practiced hard and achieved was just so that you could give me a drop of recognition. But I guess now they know that I made it quite far not letting anything stop me till I've gotten what I wanted. Yes I didn't do well in SPM and yes dear uncle I didn't want to study to become a mechanic or real estate even though you generously offered to pay my studies for only those 2 courses. But I took up your challenge and I went to work to put myself into tertiary education. Even though you still disagree that photojournalism / military journalism can get me anywhere I'll still be doing it. I'll do what I love for a living and won't end up as a failure like my parents.

But now recently you both finally realized where my talent lies in and hearing you talk of me proudly as if a blood son. Seeing how you said you saw your niece's photography after seeing mine you said it looked like she had no standard and how you argued with your church friend that I can design a better front page for a booklet despite her saying that the other guy is 30+ years old and a damn good designer and asking whether I won my basketball competitions when I got home (something that has never happened before), You both may not know it and I don't show it but it means the universe to me. Finally... I get recognition by the 2 people I love most in this world. I am at peace. What I've been yearning for has been earned :)

Lost.

Lost! I freaking lost the tourney... :( The last time I won a Basketball tournament was back in 2008. 2 freaking years ago.. along with Sanjay, Kok Yau, Chee Keong, Faisal, Justin and Captain Ding hahaha.



2008 also happened to be my last tournament before last Saturday. It seems 2 years out of the scene has taken a toll on me. I've rusted a whole lot. Ah... crap... get back in shape Kent! You have one more coming this Saturday. This is win or die! Gold or nothing! Hammer it into my mind... I'm second to NO ONE!

On a better note... semester coming to an end~ woohoo! Been through alot just to get past this 1st semester from waking up at odd hours just to keep up with assignment datelines to uncooperative group mates during group assignments. Once again... this is to all them "leechers" out there. You are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on earth. You're not even human-fucking-beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit.

We're all pretty much in holiday mood now since we have all pretty much handed in almost all our final assignments. Last one to hand in tomorrow and then its MERDEKA! Except for those who need to work hard and score high for Reading and Writing exam next Wednesday. Good luck. Confused about anything please do ask me. I'll be here to share my knowledge :).

College pastime.

Non-other than basketball with my fellow coursemates and new peeps from other courses.

Pics courtesy of Rou Wei.

Goin' in for the crossover. Look at the dude in blue. Notice his arm is behind my back? I felt full brunt of the force of his arm. I actually got bruised up by the impact lol. Now that is a force to be reckoned with.


Coursemate Teck Soon taking a shot

1 failed steal and 1 gonna fail to block :D

June Binn driving in for a basket.

Decisive moment.

All heads up!

And of course the traditional "High 5" for the victors! :D

Hunting.

Stained glass at church

Signed up for Photography society and Catholic society today. Started raining right after I signed up and was about to head home -_-" Luckily I decided not to play ball. Bleh headed over to the canteen to grab some chow instead. Was still drizzling after I had devoured my lunch. Walked to the LRT station anyways.

1 thing about commuting.. The LRT is like a freaking freezer in the morning. My eyeballs could actually freeze up, pop-out and roll around on the floor like marbles lol. But once you get off at the station its freaking hot. So hot that my eyeballs could melt and become jelly which I'll spread over bread and munch it down as breakfast RAWR! And bus U72 is a bitch to wait for. So called "every 15 minutes will arrive" bus fails. Please RapidKL add in 2 more buses for the U72 route.

Student support workshop tomorrow 10am - 4 pm with 2 hour break in between. Should I bring a basketball to fill in time or a book? Or maybe continually stuff myself with food for 2 hours lol. Skipping Games and Telematch session on friday. Gonna catchup on some much needed snoozing.

Ah right. I'm looking for a 2nd-hand laptop reasonable priced and average specs. Nothing specific. Just need it in full working order no glitches or hardware failures. Anyone has one please do drop me an email.

Freshman.

-shot on the way to KLIA-
Well started college. Orientation week kinda boring so far lol. I have established that I have awesome lecturers and all of them heavily emphasize on the use of "English" especially my head of school.

Campus is huge, have to do alot of walking. Already kinda memorized my way around so I don't need to take the map out every 5 seconds or so like the other freshies :D. Classes only start next week. Still trying to adjust to waking early. And commuting is a bitch -.-" Well at least the canteen food is not bad and its cheap too!

Gah! can't wait for orientation to end. I swear I'll die of boredom. Quick! get the classes started!
