Do you believe in miracle?

Saw the news today?
A child fallen from nine storey and survived.
Another borned dead and return to life.

Saturday morning on the way to Penang with mum.
The last time I took ferry to Penang was about 10 years ago.
Can't remember exactly when but I think around there.
In the picture, the ferry I'm on was leaving Butterworth and the other was docking.


View of George Town Penang from Ferry.


Docking.


Went to my sister's new appartment after that.
It's on the top floor with Penang Bridge view from balcony.
Will be even nicer at night.

The appartment was still empty.
Need some renovation and paint job before moving in.
After that, we did some furniture and lighting shopping for the appartment.


Dinner time with whole family.
Except mum. She stayed at Penang for her Buddist camp.
All of us have different drinks as you can see from the picture.
Make a guess, which one is mine?


Sunday afternoon before leaving home. The cactus in front my home got flowers. Can you see them?


On the way to Penang Airport.


The widening work on Penang bridge is almost done. Traffic was alot smoother now.

This trip home was good. Manage to see mum, spend time with her when we traveled to Penang together. Seeing my cute nephew Jeff. At 5 months old now he's starting to use his hands and learning to roll over from lying in his back. Had a great dinner with dad, bro and sis. Which only happen once or twice a year. And replaced my atm card and ic that was stolen on Mayday. It was a fruitfull trip overall. And going home was very easy, with only one hour flight and forty minutes drive home from airport. Wish I can go home more often if I have the time and money.

Hi. It has been so long...
Made some changes to the blog. Like it? Alot brighter hah... Wanted some difference from the previous.

I've always wanted to blog but just didn't happen. Things during the day, thoughts, feelings, and some others... Most of the time I got myself to the laptop, feelings had faded. Don't feel like typing anymore.

Happy Birthday Singapore!!!
Just came back from hometown today. AirAsia changed abit from today's experience. Their service had improved a little. Announcement made by the crew was pretty impressive too. Ate alot these few days at home. Mum cooked many good food. Yummy!!!

Was thinking alot about what I should do lately. I definately love the work I do now but it really can't be a long term job. Wasn't able to have any savings with the little pay. Thinking of further study too. Will really look into it. Hope I can change my life a bit. It's time to have some changes.

I've took some pictures when I was home. Will post them next time.

My blog is so dead...

Life is so boring! Got no coaching this week all because of H1N1. Sian ahr......

KL trip was ok. Everyday eat hotel buffet until sian... The BaKutTae beside hotel was yummy! Ate there for 3 times. And more food at Chinatown and Jalan Alor. I think besides umpiring, all we did was eat and sleep. Haha!!!

Umpiring wasn't very well. Should have done better in the earlier games and get into the tournament earlier. Anyway, was happy get to be reserve umpire in the final.

I need some excitement in life...

Going KL in 2 days. Was looking forward to it earlier but now not that much. Had to stay at KL for over 10 days. Other than umpiring everyday, donno what can we do. Hope we get time to walk around.

Umpiring today was not very good. My knees ache so badly it affect my runs. Was late on positioning most of the time. Must improve tomorrow.

Went night cycling with some friends last weekend. Cycled pretty slowly I hardly break any sweat. But still was quite tiring. From 10 plus till 7 plus in the morning.

The other day few weeks ago my schools took part in a carnival nort zone schools organise. Hougang Sec and Rosyth both was there. Although they didn't make it to 2nd round, they had fun. It was great seeing them had fun playing games together and playing court game after the carnival.

National League. So far so good for Ace. Had fun on most games. But don't get to play last game cause at KL. Zeal didn't do well. Mainly because don't have defenders in the team. And also some absent players. Hope they do well for their last game. Alpha did quite alright. Winning 2, lost 2, and a walkover. Umpiring for me was alright too doing div 1 and 2 games.

The post is so random. Anyway, just hope things at KL for coming days are good.

Had a jog last night to KNC and back. Was struggling a bit and it took longer than expected. After reaching KNC, I help umpired a friendly game before jogging back. The whole thing was pretty tiring. Still feeling the aches and sores now. But this will not stop me. Next up, 'East Coast Park'. On the way to KLP today, I saw a naked man near stadium. Something must be wrong with him. Anyway, I went to watch a movie before going KNC for duty as umpire coach for the day. Night at the museum 2. Not as good as expected though. Umpire coaching was ok. Couldn't really help to look at all 3 courts at one time. And most of them are not so experienced too. Haiz... And I've been hearing comments from coaches about umpiring recently. The usuals! Comments from coaches are never good. As an umpire coach now, I feel that it's part of my responsibility when umpires are not umpiring to standard. But what to do?

Do you know what is 'goldfish breathing'?

I was experiencing it today umpiring Opens vs 21s game. I was breathing so hard I can't close my mouth. Lucky it only happens at the 6th quarter, which is the last. Feel so weak umpiring their game. Think I should start doing some strengthing for my sprints and side steps. Push off was a bit slow too.

Long time didn't blog.

Very unlucky today. Lost my bag at KNC. Everything was inside. My umpire whistles, first aid kit, phone, mp3, wallet, money, sunglass,... Total up 500+ cash and 600+ in property. Was pretty sad about it but now, not anymore.

My mum came to Singapore today. Not at home now but instead at a buddhist camp with her friend. Anyway, I never get to see her cause was at KNC whole day for my club's training camp. She made some dumplings for me and my sis. It's so nice. I'm so happy she made them. And she've also brought some dried food over for me from home :) Hope I get to see her after camp, before she go home.

Past few weeks was busy. Rosyth lost their crucial game by 3 goals in the second round. With it, losing their chance of going Nationals. I was pretty disappointed.

NSL umpiring in the semi and prelim final was exciting. Both games were very close. I was waiting for assignment to get into final but till friday night finally know that I'm not even the reserve umpire. Yet again disappointed after so much effort into it. Well! Just have to face the fact and come back stronger.

Hmm... Club stuffs are... Maybe shouldn't talk about it. I appreciate the friends I have in the club.

Work. Slowing down in May and June. Will have to umpire more to earn more income. What can I do if I don't coach?

Had my first basketball training this year today. It was really killing. Almost have muscle cramp. And few of my teamates did. The team had started training last month every sunday and tuesday. Because of NSL, I've been missing training till now. I really miss playing basketball, and tonight was really fun. Although my shots was like so bad and passes like every where. Anyway, I'm looking forward to wednesday's friendly game. Suppose to go beep test that night but I'm going to skip it. Haha!

Good news, my Rosyth seniors got into second round. And the grouping was so so lucky. Hope the girls can play well and get into nationals. First game of second round tomorrow. Must win!

Sad :-(
Bad mood
