first game: (vs human, ne)
they rushed me and killed my DL like twice then one of them went "gg ^^" that got me and j fired up and we managed to beat them off, with my HoD coming up at the right time. then we creeped then countered. then they rushed again and this time we killed both heroes. hurhur. rushed their base again and then the oppo's partner quit and i typed "gg? ^^" haha sweet revenge. ;)

man u can forget abt winning the title. like arsenal had 2 clear penalties and man u 1. but owells. season's looking really screwed for them now anyways, NO FA cup, NO champions league, NO EPL title, NO league cup. and i ran back. dunnoe how far i ran but i was back in 20 mins. so quite pleased since the last time i ran was in feb before the walther game. :)
anyways, got a brilliant quote from joseph,
"if love is the answer, please rephrase the question."

nightmarish
sighh..played my first match for team 'Ice Cream' though i like didn't wanna play but got played out cuz galvin couldn't make it at the last minute and it was a freakin nightmare. lost like all 4 of my matches. need to do a post mortem on what went wrong and then forget abt the whole episode and play better next match ard. anyways we lost 7-9 or rather 7-11 (cuz of their female player).
a) i guess i gotta work on my 8 ball strategy and tactics -- know when to chiong and when to play safe.
b) work on my shooting, realised that during warm up i was shooting fine. no problems but i started to freeze up playing in the game itself, like i tended to be much more careful with the shots i was hitting during the game whereas in practice i was free-wheeling. think that really affected my game. the sub conscious telling me to hit softly and the mind thinking too much.
c) i should play like a nobody. cuz basically i am no one they are familiar with and dun know my standard, so its a confidence thingy i guess. if you got the confidence you can be beating champions.
d) not to freeze up like a dead possum.
i feel my 9 ball game coming back but my 8 ball game nowhere near where it possibly could be. break's getting better all the time. stroke's coming back.

pleased, in-stroke
well quite dumb la..i had to go all the way to ph to pick up my cues before heading down to mambo2 to play galvin and westin. pretty in stroke today..no idea why. cept that maybe the breaks are still abit dry. otherwise shooting quite sharp. after that went to al azhar for lunch then off to galvin's place. to play more pool on his table and guess what? i like finally beat galvin straight up on his own table. 2 sets out of 3 races-to-7, 7-2, 4-7, 7-5! like first time in such a long time lorh. oh but heh its not everyday that galvin has no form or stroke.
well then a mind numbing headache and horrible weather forced me to go back after galvin had sth to attend to. but thats fine. so like just woke up after some rest and feeling much better.

blogging from suntec city where i've been working at for the past 3 days. think i'm falling sick too been having a very bad throat and now some runny nose too. panadol cold + vitamin C has kept it somewhat in control. anyways here's the summary of the day's events.
day 1 - worked with youth guidance as xs marshals to oversee the event, all i can say is that they did a really lousy job at organizing. but they're noobs so heh. it was so badly run that the chief organiser said that he would consider not doing anymore CS tournaments. like face it, its dumb playing a CS tournament that uses CS (hostage) maps and unclear rules.
day 2 - much better. quite relaxed. though quite toot. cuz had to reach there at 11:30 but actually have to be there at 3 pm -.- which meant that i could have given small one her 2nd lesson. but owells. not much to run. operation flashpoint is/was a bore. and its teams from SAF playing and they like dunnoe how to play as well so heh. then one match of NUS vs NTU and the day was over. then i headed down to GF to support my team "EPT2 - Ice Cream" in the GF 8 ball league. and that the schedule is like on weds nites (which i have coaching on) and sat nites. so its like i paid 12 bucks to sit on the side. but owells.
day 3 - which is today. quite siong cuz the players didn't turn up on time, or didn't turn up at all. wc3 was quite stalemated. nothing really new or cool and like the last 4 was all from ntu so they like decided not to play (which actually doesn't make sense at all) anyways, sc was on too. and like after a furious 35 mins of zerg vs terran in which was really exciting to watch, the winner went on the final and beat the other guy in like 10-15 mins so quite anti-climatic end to the sc side. now running cs and so far so good. at least the only bad thing that could happen is that the server kept crashing due to the blasterworm thingie. lol wins anot?
shall post more later if i can. net is down at home. (says username/password not valid on this domain -- i'm using singnet 512 bb -- help if you can)

tireddddddddddddddddddd
just came back. thanks louis for helping me with the class. :) my goofy stroke is so messed up now. have to work hard to find my 'A' game back, cuz right now i can't even run 3 balls let alone a rack. sighhs. good to see galvin bringing up his game and as well as rajesh with his spinning game.
sians. shall go and try to restore some semblance to joseph's lucasi now. i guess i'm getting better at cue doctoring but getting suckier at playing pool. -__-"

sorry readers, haven't been blogging in a while. dunno why too. anyways had overnight session of pool on sat-sun and now still feeling after-effects of it. eyes like keep wanting to close. played with galvin and stan. race to 7 with stan and galvin went off to play with jackie also race to 7. both me and galvin won 7-4. hmms and jackie doesnt seem too formidable anymore. my breaks getting better. hitting with draw, 3/4 of the 1 ball, on the same side as the cue ball. after doing that seemed to make a ball on the break more often. also hitting that way but whole of the 1 ball on one occasion, the CB did a good jump and landed and didn't move heh. talk about a good break. if only i potted a ball on that break *shrugs*

haven't posted in a while cuz i've been really a) busy, b) tired, c) lazy. been running ard doing jobs and stuff. had to run solo classes on weds and today becuz richard ain't in town. and boy is it tiring! so unfair too..like i'm prob just gonna get a bit more than i already am. also doing some video shooting and stuff.
on the cues, i emailed juddcues and like i really intend to get the JT-1 with birdseye maple forearm and buttsleeve and cocobolo handle, tan phenolic joints and buttcap and prob one shaft with ivory ferrule and the other with the melamine ferrule. well just thinking heh. besides that viattorre has like 3 shaft options and while i'm getting one standard shaft, the other shaft i dunnoe which to take, its like the LD (Low Deflection) and HD (Old growth wood) but like want to know whats the difference. if only he would email me back faster!
gotta konk soon have to wake up at like 615 and be at aljunied (sp) at like 815 for a job. *thanks Hsien*

feeling high, tired, a little nuts
it rained the entire day! arghs so crap..
woke up like late then went for lunch with clarence at al azhar heh then to centrepoint with him to pick a present for his sis and i picked up sth for small one as well. then we went to ph to shoot some and met jere there. heh so he lost to bobby 7-5 too rofles. (i've got a track record for losing to that guy -- in fact i lost 7-4 today as well) then clarence went back to school and i played with jere till he had to leave and then practised a bit on my own with his cue.
hmms i sense that my stroke came back a little but i still dun like the feel. the cue feels too dead in my hands. so i think tmrw i would go down to theQshop to bring the weight for my kaiser up to like 19oz and see whether it helps or not. dennis told me that its gotta do with my stroke but its like a bit ridiculous. i've learnt all the while and gotten my stroke and surely it can't be wrong rite? its like changing your stroke to fit a cue. when i feel it should be the other way.
so went down to gf to play with galvin, stanley and benny. was like drenched lah and the air con was freezin..hehh played guard with them like 20-50-100 then like we played till 1230am heheheh i think it was damn funny..all the funny stuff heheheh silly shooting dumb potting hehehe..by the time we like finished we were all like high on laughter..incredible man.
well now quite tired lah..and high ^^ tmrw got work lol. shall survive till then.

tired, satisfied
well weds was more strenous and yet more boring work heh. am now 'contracted' to do camera work for vincent and teng joo for recording of parables and english lessons, its fun la but can get a bit boring heh. will also do the audio editting for them as well. that is followed by the wednesday, Beginners II class for redbox event and because this being the first batch and from 2 classes previously (Beginner I and Intermediate) and now mixed into one class, there wasn't much on teachin that day just let them mingle and socialise and play ard. guess next week then will teach them more. so i actually had the time to sit down for the greater part of the class.
then i came home and had a birthday cake heh (choc if you're wonderin, i've got a sweet tooth :P) then went to sleep.
so this afternoon went to hong lim food centre for lunch and i must say the crayfish hor fun is just passable, methinks its way over-rated. the char kway teow was better. (/me imagines johan wincing..rofles!) then after that went on a hunt for items that i've procrasinated getting like an ide cable, q wiz for edwin and jere and a talk with my good friend workin at mambo orchard, luis. signed up for the 9 ball compy there scheduled on monday. hope i dun paiseh myself there lol. then went down to ph for another class, 2nd batch of Intermediate. well, not bad 8 out of 12 (2 didn't turn up), knew the game and stuff but just have to finetune it. one of them not bad got his own set of cues. and yes i did it! i coached the whole bunch on my own cuz the head coach was having some meeting. fancy that! he gets the pay and i do all the work rite? besides he's going to vietnam next week for the asian 9 ball champ'ships and leaving me solo again. -.-" anyways i requested that i get paid more for doing more too, thats only fair rite? cuz i would be coaching next thurs, following week's tues and weds as well.
anyways gonna clean my cues and knock off, ain't early heh.

"Sleeping to dream about you, and i'm so tired, of having to live without you, but i don't mind, sleeping to dream about you, but i'm so tired."
Jason Mraz - Sleeping to Dream About You.
"A Warning Sign
I missed the good part then I realised
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for A Warning Sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so.
A Warning Sign
You came back to haunt me and I realised
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover
Come on in
I've got to tell you what a state I'm in
I've got to tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for A Warning Sign
When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
And I'm tired
I should not have let you go
So I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
And I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms"
