SoccerRoom - 30 May 07

Hey buddies,

Great battle out there on sunday evening, although we lost in the end, still i think we are great out there. Cheers!

This sunday we will be having a light soccer training, hopefully at Fengshan primary school or something. Time is 9am to 11am. Dont be late!!! haha

What i hope we will be doing is:

1. Train our passing on field context. We will be playing the monkey game.

2. Passing and Crossing longer balls. Two lines and start practising.

3. Shooting. If possible the process will be someone will be standing towards the player with the ball from about 10metres away. The player will be passing to ball to him and the guy will choose any direction to feed the ball. Following which the player will run towards the ball and shoot on one touch.

End.


- We need balls. Preferably at least 5.
- We need cones.
- Im suggestion to make a plastic goalpost to practice shooting. Any comments?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Remedies for better memory power?

Research has shown that eating bananas accompanied by a glass of plain water actually results in a chemical effect that allows your brain to have better and improved memory power.

I (Wilson) have yet to try this method out. But according to my lecturer, it sure works for him.. After i got back my mock papers; 20/100 for my marketing and 25/100 for my HRM, it really drives me harder that i should have eaten bananas mixing with plain water before my mock papers. Well...at least its not too late.. I am going to swallow the whole bunch of bananas and drinking a tall glass of plain water weekly with the faith that i would remember all the sociology theories and hrm theorists at the back of my hand..

"Student asked me: Teacher, i have been eating bananas and drinking water all days before my exams..but i still failed. U bluff mi. u say tat it helps...

"Teacher: If eating bananas and drinking water and zero revision makes you get a first class honours degree, then all professors will be monkeys.

Cheers,

Wilson

kitten

s Rob found an abandoned kitten at a carpark near his gf's place on sat nite....... of cos he wouldnt leave it just there, so we decided to pass it to wilson's mum. we were fussing over the little one the whole sunday, trying to keep it warm, got him evaporated milk and then a nursing bottle. initially it was eating but.................... came sunday and monday, its relentless whining and even reject the milk. Haiz

We brought it there with heavy hearts....sob sob. first time to SPCA, and i can tell u the sight of homeless pets isnt nice at all. Rob and Wil in the pic...........little rob slpin in the centre (named after robin) Lets pray little rob will not learn the hard facts of life and hit the dirt.....haha got some pics of Fri-nite when i go pick my from form the Sahara at boat quay. first time there, and its not really that nice hahaha. anyway it was fun eventually and of cos introducting wilson, the drunk dude (its not his bday)

CAGE

Yeah, the cage sure was a blast, though a bit on the pocket side too. Never underestimate this warehouse people, its pretty tiring even when we were rotating among 4 teams.

Nevertheless we had fun with our mini-league organised by Wil-res although i am still protesting why we only 4 persons!!! As expected 1 of the 5 men army won, with MVP going to mr kiwi seah for scoring 6 goals that night.

We had some pretty good soccer, although it narrows down to pretty much whether u got the stamina to last the games!

it was nice, having 2 ladies supporters, with one as a auntie bringing mark to play, wahaha :)

Special thanks to Mr Time keeper, CH who enjoys his stint on the bench.

kinda of forgotten many of the highlights, but then again, we will have another session rite? rob?

think i shall be the time keeper next time round, kinda too fragile to be receiving knocks anymore!!!

.......till the next time people......

Munchkins~

Hear Ye~ Hear Ye~


Fella munchki-nerz, haha considering the spare time i have n taking Rob's advice of taking a good break now before starting work. I had the time to run thru the munchkin web & forum. (Which i believe some others munch-natics amongst us had done so way earlier than me.)

I kinda realised we by-passed some rules, or has it become some of our own house rules which we implement on our own?




I had the items circled, but for those with poor eyesight, heres what its writtened.

1) Items to be traded must be those in play, and not on hands. Meaning only items that either equiped or in inventory can then be traded.


2) When a character dies, he has to open his on hands card. N starting with the player of the highest level, everyone draws a card of their choice from the dead player. However dead player retains his existing race, class & loyalty. All other cards are discarded to the stack. (This would be the time i would say, how i wished your dead! Heh~)

3) An extra point to note, the CHEAT card can be very powerful, depending on how it is being used. It can even be used on items to prevent it from being removed by cursed, or even being stolen. e.g, just like the boomerang sword (or wateva its called) which returns to the player on the next turn if its stolen.
However it cannot be used on siutations such as an item requiring 1 hand which grants +1, or +3 if elf. You can gain that +1 bonus by using Cheat to remove the hand status if all ur hands are occupied, however you cannot use cheat to declare yourself as elf and gain a +3 bonus.

Anyway looking forward to any new creation from Alex. Hmm... had this idea from superman... how about a Kryptonite dungeon card? Where any Super-munchkins would loose all class powers on that round of battle, that would render all class eqips useless for that fight? Haha just an idea... maybe we could call it Munchki-nite?

Haha, we will never run out of any debabtable arguments in this game~ Thats what makes it so intresting.

Looking forward to the next round of munchkinz with u fellas. (Maybe can arrange for a day of munchkin marathon after the exams period? Think must intro my girlfriend into the league oso!)

P.S GameMaster (Alex) please help point out if i had anything wrong.

Chinese New Year Round Up

Hope everyone has enjoyed the start of this Piggy new year. Well, except for Melvin, who emptied his pockets on Tuesday (haha).

The cage so far.....................

Wonder how our captain, Wil-res has been doing getting the attendance for the cage match. Nevertheless as self proclaimed manager, with no consultation from my coach, Mel Adams, have decided to give you guys a sneak into one of the drafts of my drawing board.

Wee scholes hasn't confirm but has expressed interest since the transfer window is still not closed. I am still awaiting replies from call-ups like Shanten Crouch, Xiang Bradsley, John Marco (who also will double as our team physio).

Rest of you, especially under Ah Fatt club chairman, Cx Madini better refrain from 511 chicken wings till further notice. i am not expecting collapses out there in the cage.

I expect Wil-res to get back to ask regarding the game ASAP, before he gets demoted, UNDERSTAND?

"THE CAGE"! After much lamenting from Melvin that our outings are much oriented towards the unhealthy side of life; boozing, clubbing and supper. Rob and myself decided to call for a threesome birthday celebration to be held at our playground, the soccer court...kinda of special and HEALTHY of course. Melvin..like what rob says; "Its time for you to get that boots of that hanger!"..This time round for a special cause..for our three birthday babies, rob, cx and marco!

As for the program on that day..tentatively we keep it on the 23rd of Feb Midnight 0000-0200 at the cage, after the match we will be showering there and proceed to the porridge restaurant for our healthy supper. Please give me your feedback via the tags...All are invited!!

"Happy Birthday" and Hesitations.........

Rob and Mel, brought your gfs to watch the show liao? a mild tear jerker show i would say, given that sherlyn can still cry when watching with me, haha (seriously, i can dull the most emotional shows....thats me).

I got the show's eventual plot rather early (not that i smart but you guys should know that sherlyn's brain's left hemisphere isnt the best...heez)

I'm not condeming the show, but was rather surprised at Rene Liu's talent in writting this story, though theres rumours on whether shes really just potraying out herself in the movie.

Toying between fate, insecurities, distance and partnership issues in the movie, yet able to potray it without uneccessary tragedies or drag............a simple master piece. The impeccable combo of the 2 leads prevailed in many of the scenes. Even the backup cast fit nicely into their roles.

Couple of laughs to try subdue the sadness as the show draws to the end.......beautiful movie, neither the deepest thought provoking show nor outstanding in cinematics...........but just simple and 'sweet'

The show centered alot around Rene's hesitations in life, either in dreams or love. i happen to be reading an essay on "how we make life and death decision".......a scottish philosopher said, "Morality is more properly felt than judged of; though this feeling or sentiment is commonly so soft and gentle, that we are apt to confound it with an idea."

Is it better to save starving babies than to keep your dying partner on life support? To buy it now and 'eat grass' the rest of the month? questions we faced once a while though seldom as extreme as the 1st one.

i find myself getting more entrenched into my comfort zone and hesitating to move out of the shell even on morality terms; helping or doing something meaningful.........

well, just some of the thoughts i have while on 225 rushing home to my bed............

regards
Alex

This is for u ..Mel.

last saturday, mel was stuck at home so this entry is to update him a bit hahaha

after some ah fatt gathering at our usual 511 market, filled with chicken wings and bak cho mees. We decided to catch the FA cup tie btw LP and ARS.

You guys know the results so i'm not going to say much, hahaha too bad rob. we caught the game at George(watever) and finished a barrel(sixty bucks, not bad lah). According to Wil, he loves beer and sure wun drop one! (and of cos the cute ger!!!)

the game result got rob pretty much heated up so we decided to go for a rnd of MUNCHKIN!!!
with rob determined to rub off his UL title.


the game results were pretty much clear from the beginning as wil decided to sit in silent prayer with head banging the table. Before finally succumbing and fell to the wandering monsters lurking in Alex's room to Claim the "ULTIMATE LOSER" title. We had a great game with cx still on his good run (of cursed ducks) and i STILL REIGN AS THIEF!!!

okok, the final tribute to our UL..........

kudus to UL anyway to be able to wake up on his own the next day anyway.......wahaha PRICELESS!!!

FastFood Nation

FAST FOOD NATION



Hi people, its been awhile since ive blogged. Since i recently caught a movie, might as well share it with you peeps. As the topic suggests, the title of the picture is Fast Food Nation. Its certainly no block busters, and its a film my girl and i caught juz to kill time at the mall. I juz briefly read about it on some movie reviews, and to be honest after we bought the tixs, i asked shuxian "Hmm... you think this movie can watch anot?" haha... and we both had this look, expect nothing~ HA!

Without any expectations and thinking i put in my $$$ for some crappy movie, we sat dwn as the shw began. The movie does not boast superb computer graphics, or Hollywood style pyrotechnics, however its full of conversations, boring you say?

The movie draws out the exploitations of mexicians who tries to cross the U.S border to work there. Of course you might ask, how these mex-hi-cos are related to the title of the movie? In the movie it shows how the beef patties are manufactured in industrious proportions, ranches full of cows, and a slaughter house as bloody it can get. The end result = crappy patties. It seems some research has shown that the beef patties contains bull crap, due to improper gutting of the cows. The manager of the fast food chain is sent down to investigate only to find out how the beef patty house operates throught the exploitations of mexicans who were untrained.

My Faveourite Scene: The slaughtering of Cows...lol....seriously... its good, but honestly, during the last few moments of the cow slaughter i swear that i wouldnt eat any beef frm then... ok well at least for that few minutes. Trust me...although it is said these domestic animals are slaughtered in the most "humane" way possible... it will change ur mind on that~

The movie is rated M18, with some mild sexual content and a few minutes of cow slaughtering~

I would say 3 stars to this film~

Do catch this movie if you guys have the spare time, its reali food for thought, haha. Of cos at the end both me and shuxian agreed its a worth watching film~


Gracias my amigos~ Mel
