The Story Behind My Gamertag

Gamertag: KniGhT 4rm MaRs

story:

it was all started when i first like the band called 30 Seconds To Mars. So instead of 'to' Mars. Ive changed to '4rm = from'. The 30 seconds thingy i got rid of it. Then it was only, 4rm MaRs. So i added 'Bro' since my friends called me that. So, its 'BrO 4rm MaRs' then. Used that name since start of form 4. Then, formed a DOTA team. The name is 'Knights' btw. So, i replaced BrO to KniGhT. And there it goes. Been using that name since 2007 until now. So, every time i play a game, ill always be using that name. So thats my story.

How did i know bruPlay.com?

What caught my attention was that my brother has a shirt with bruplay.com on it. From there, i was kinda bit anxious to know about it. Then, the BCG event that was held during June holidays break this year, hasher87 a.k.a my brother (too bad xD) brought me along to witness it. I joined the guitar hero 3 tourney. While i was waiting for my turn to play, i went to the bruplay section and there i met loco6669, gROG35, ReD S1X (which i know him since i was a small kid). Me and ReD S1X talked about bruplay.com. He did ask me, why not join the bruplay? I wanted to at first but i got a lot of things to concentrate since im having my upcoming olevel exam that time. So, after the exam. I checked my profile in my 360 hard disk, turns out my profile was corrupted. It was not an xbox live one. So i had to make a new one *hasher87 helped me*. Then, play COD4 and got meet up with Razor886. Told me to join bruplay.com, so yeah. Thats how it all started.

Wenger: I'll splash the cash

ARSENE WENGER has hinted he will splash the cash in January in a bid to salvage Arsenal's stuttering season.































WENGER ... planning on spending to replace the injured Cesc Fabregas in January

The Gunners lie fifth in the Premier League following an inconsistent campaign and were dealt a fresh blow with the news that captain Cesc Fabregas has been ruled out until April with a knee injury.

Boss Wenger has been criticised for failing to bring in big-money signings following the summer exits of Alex Hleb, Mathieu Flamini and Gilberto Silva.

But with Fabregas ruled out for four months, the Frenchman has vowed to add new recruits.

The Gunners have already been linked with a move for Zenit St Petersburg playmaker Andrei Arshavin — with Maxim Mitrofanov, the club's director-general, revealing they are ready to sell their prize asset.

Mitrofanov said: “Zenit are ready to sell Arshavin to Arsenal for £20 million.”

But Wenger insists he will not panic buy and revealed the Emirates side will cope with the loss of their skipper.

Wenger said: “It is more likely we will buy but we also have internal solutions and we are not desperate.

“We will miss Cesc, of course, but how much is difficult to say.

“We have to find a way and we want to compensate the fact that he is not on the pitch to give everyone a bit more."

The absence of Fabregas piles more woe on what has already been a below-par campaign for Arsenal.

But Wenger remains adamant his side can still win silverware this term.

He added: “I’m sure we can deal with it. When he comes back he can help us get over the line in the final months. I believe we are able to do it.”

The Don

Happy 18th Birthday to Mr. Don Corleone.

May your life fill with prosperity, wealth and bless by Allah.

Well, enjoy your day.

Here Without You

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

Merindukanmu

Saat aku tertawa di atas semua
Saat aku menangisi kesedihanku

Aku ingin engkau selalu ada
Aku ingin engkau aku kenang

Selama aku masih bisa bernafas
Masih sanggup berjalan
Ku kan slalu memujamu
Meski ku tak tau lagi
Engkau ada di mana
Dengarkan aku ku merindukanmu

Saat aku mencoba merubah sgalanya
Saat aku meratapi kekalahanku

Dengarkan aku ku merindukanmu

Cinta Dalam Hati

Mungkin ini memang jalan takdirku
Mengagumi tanpa dicintai
Tak mengapa bagiku asal kau pun bahagia
Dengan hidupmu, dalam hidupmu

Telah lama ku pendam perasaan itu
Menunggu hatimu menyambut diriku
Tak mengapa bagiku cintaimu pun adalah
Bahagia untukku, bahagia untukku

Ku ingin kau tahu diriku di sini menanti dirimu
Meski ku tunggu hingga hujung waktuku
Dan berharap rasa ini kan abadi untuk selamanya
Dan izinkan aku memeluk dirimu kali ini saja
Tuk ucapkan selamat tinggal untuk selamanya
Dan biarkan rasa ini bahagia untuk sekejap saja

Always All Ways

I guess I'm trying to say I'm sorry,
But it always comes out wrong,
I think a part of you still loves me,
Even though we're moving on.

Always, all ways I wanted us to be,
Always, all ways you and me,
And I wait here on my own,
And I wait for you to see,
All the time I spend alone now won't comfort me,

Always all ways...

And I'm sorry for what happened,
But I want you there to see,
That I'm changing all my actions,
I don't wanna set you free.

Always, all ways I want to see you through
Always, all ways me and you
And I wait here on my own,
And I wait for you to see,
All the time I spend alone now won't comfort me.

'Cause I'm waiting for you,
Yeah, I'm waiting for you,
Give me answers, get me through,
I will wait...

Always, all ways I wanted us to be,
Always, all ways you and me,
And I wait here on my own,
And I wait for you to see,
All the time I spend alone now won't comfort me.

'Cause I'm waiting for you,
And I'll wait here for you,
Give me answers, give me through,
I will wait...

'Cause I'm waiting for you,
Yeah I'm waiting for you,
Give me answers, get me through,
I will wait...

Always, all ways

Premier league: Arsenal 1 - 1 Liverpool match report

Sunday
21st December, 2008.



Ten-man Arsenal drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Emirates Stadium on Sunday in a game of high drama and even greater controversy.

Arsène Wenger’s side were in charge until just before the break. They scored an exquisite individual goal through Robin van Persie in the 24th minute and, crucially, had seemed to have found some security at the back.

However in the 42nd minute Robbie Keane chased an aimless boot out of defence and finished with brilliant ferocity. On the whistle, Cesc Fabregas injured himself in a challenge with Xavi Alonso. He hobbled down the tunnel and was not seen again.

Emmanuel Adebayor followed him in the 62nd minute after receiving a debatable second yellow card for a foul on Alvaro Arbeloa.

The dismissal was an injustice to what had been a pulsating game to that point. For the final 30 minutes the match was all about the battle not the football.

Both sides decided to keep what they had rather than gamble on another goal.

In the circumstances it was a valuable draw for Arsenal but they remain eight points off the summit of the Premier League.

Wenger made just one change from the side that had taken a point away from Middlesbrough last Saturday. Samir Nasri was fit again after damaging his ankle in the last game at Emirates Stadium against Wigan on December 6. The Frenchman took his regular role on the left with Denilson on the opposite flank. Cesc Fabregas and Alex Song were in the middle while Abou Diaby dropped to the bench.

Kolo Toure (calf), Theo Walcott (shoulder), Eduardo (match fitness) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring tendon) were all missing.

As expected Liverpool were without Fernando Torres but Rafa Benitez was a somewhat surprising absentee. The Liverpool manager was still feeling effects of surgery after a kidney stones complaint. We wish him a speed recovery.

Arsenal were generally perceived to be ailing themselves this season. Their campaign had been stricken by a rash of early defeats and only a couple wins against the ‘Big Four’ had kept the title flame flickering. Those victories against Chelsea and Manchester United had been previewed as “must-wins”. This encounter was no different.

Liverpool came to Emirates Stadium as the leaders and with a significant advantage over Wenger’s men. The pendulum could swing to five points or 11 depending on the result this afternoon. It was hard to overestimate the importance of this game in Arsenal’s season.

Perhaps that was why they started in cagey fashion.

In fact the teams mustered only one chance each in the opening 15 minutes. First Keane, an ever-willing runner, collected Daniel Agger’s long ball forward and set up Steven Gerrard for a piledriver 25 yards out. Given the England midfielder’s reputation from such a distance his execution was very average and Manuel Almunia collected easily.

A couple of minutes later, Sagna went on a raid down the right. His curling cross found Adebayor, who tried a deft backheader towards the far corner. Pepe Reina was stretched but no more.

Thus far, both sides were treating each other with the utmost respect. It seemed they dare not commit too far forward for fear of being caught out in the counter.

In such circumstances, only an error or a dash of genius can break the deadlock. In this case it was the latter.

There was little on when when Nasri floated a crossfield ball towards the Liverpool area in the 24th minute. However, Van Persie had spotted the pass before the visiting defence and was already on the shoulder of the final defender when the ball was in midflight. He would follow perception with poise.

Running at full pace the 25-year-old Dutchman chested the ball down just outside the area, twisted himself into space and unleashed a vicious shot past Reina at the near post. It was Van Persie’s 10th goal of the season and perhaps his greatest for Arsenal. And that particular award seems to get more competitive every year.

The home side were now buzzing. The quality of Van Persie’s strike was present in their passing until the equaliser. They pressed Liverpool still further but, to be fair, the visitors were robust and tried to flex their considerable football muscle.

As usual, Gerrard was at the heart of everything. He fired straight at Almunia from a long-range free-kick and hacked a couple of subsequent efforts over the bar.

But generally Arsenal seemed to be in control so Liverpool’s equaliser came, quite literally, like a bolt from the blue. Daniel Agger hacked a long ball out of defence with seemingly little thought for the strikers in front of him. However the high, hanging clearance was pursued by Keane with typical eagerness. He left Djourou and Gallas in his wake and then showed expert technique to send an unstoppable half-volley in the roof of the net from just inside the area. It was a juddering shock for Arsenal.

And it nearly got much worse before half time. Kuyt appeared on the right of the area and slid a ball to Gerrard at the far post. It was just in front of the Liverpool captain who could only send a stretching shot wide.

Kuyt’s goal-bound cross shot was superbly touched wide by Almunia during injury time and, in the final seconds, Fabregas and Xavi Alonso met in a clattering but entirely fair 50:50 challenge. The Arsenal captain went off in some distress and it was no surprise when Diaby replaced him after half time.

Liverpool could now smell weakness in Arsenal. They began the second half in search of a goal and they nearly found it when superb work from Emiliano Insua on the left-hand byline set up Lucas on the edge of the area. The Brazilian hammered a low shot towards the near post but Almunia got down well to parry.

There was now a danger that Arsenal’s midfield would be overrun. The loss of Fabregas had seen Denilson move inside to partner Song. Nasri was now on the right and Diaby on the left. Only the Cameroonian had retained the position in which he started the game.

Repelling Gerrard and Co was a big ask for a quartet whose average age was less than 21. And the questions got all the more searching in the 62nd minute when Adebayor was sent off for a second yellow card.

The Togolese striker had been booked for a foul on Emiliano Insua seven minutes before the break. His foot was raised in that tackle but it was less arguable than the foul that cost him his participation in the game. The home crowd were vociferous and vocal in their disapproval of Howard Webb’s decision.

That reaction spurred on Arsenal and, though they held their own going forward, shots from Nasri and Van Persie were never going in.

By now, Liverpool had brought on Ryan Babel to stretch the Arsenal defence. However it was another substitute, Nabil El Zhar, who tested Almunia when trying to feed Kuyt.

With four minutes left Agger grazed the angle of post and bar with a rocket of a shot from 30 yards but, by now, it appeared both sides were in the same frame mind in which they had started the game. They knew they had more to lose than gain from chancing their arm too much. That said El Zhar steered a header inches wide in the final minute of normal time. Had that gone in, that would have been a robbery and the Arsenal fans felt bereft of Christmas cheer as it was.

Their team remain in the title race but have much work to do.

Last-minute

20th December, 2008.

Today, i went to The Mall with Zee, Jee, Zizul and Kym. Well, Kym wasnt exactly with us. She was with her classmates watching Twilight. The reason they wanted to watch the movie Twilight is because they wanted to know how bad and sucks the movie is. Ahaha.

Anyhow, it all started like this. Last night, Zee texted me to ask whether if I'll be able to go to The Mall and accompany her, since Jee is with Zizul. So, I asked my mum about it and she said, 'Okay'. But the transport wasnt exactly confirmed yet.

So, this morning. I woke up early and texted Zee about it. At first, I told her that I might not be able to come due to my mum having her meeting in the midday afternoon. Then at 1.25pm, I received a message from my mum. She told me to get ready, cuz shes on her way to pick me up at that time. I was like, SHIT!! I havent showered, prayed and eaten yet. So, I was rushed the whole time. Ahaha. I finished my shower and did my prayer about 2pm. By the time i went to the kitchen to have some lunch, my mom came. So, i didnt eat much.

After I have arrived at The Mall, I texted Zee to meet up at the Cineplex. Turns out, Zee wasnt at the Cineplex yet. So, I went to ETA to check some games. Then, I headed back to the Cineplex and there she is. Stood still by herself waiting for me. Ahaha.

At that time, Zul was around the Face Shop area while Jee went to the ladies room. After all of us gathered already, we took the tickets that we booked last night. We have to pay for it, of course. The movie was Yes! Man, by the way.

So, at that time it was still 1 hour and 35 minutes to movie starts. Jee and Zizul sat at the Cineplex area while waiting for the movie. Me and Zee, we just did some windows shopping along the way. Ahaha. Then our legs got tired, we decided to have a rest and seat somewhere around the Cineplex area. We sat infront of Jeejul (Jee and Zizul). As usual, nothing to do. So, we just reminisce all the stuffs about each others past. Zee laughed alot at that time. Ahaha.

At 3.55pm, we went inside the cinema. I sat with Zee but beside me, a chinese kid with his rubik's. He was so annoying along the movie. His popcorn even sticked on my shirt. Eww~~ Zee can tell how 'kusut' I was at that time. Ahaha.

The movie was so funny. I like the part when the dude tries to jump and commit suicide. That Jim Carrey who play as Carl has to persuades the dude not to jump out of the building. He persuaded him by singing his own song. It was a great song! I like it! His voice was slight similar the lead singer of Ellegarden band. Awesome! *shit, im being gay here* ahaha. It was a nice song though. Even Zee likes it. You guys should listen to it.

As usual, why must a good movie has a stupid ending? Ahaha. This movie was so good until the ending spoiled it. The ending was nonsense. All of us didnt even understand the ending. Ahaha.

So, after watching the movie. Jee and Zee had to go back home straight away since Jee's dad was already waiting for her downstairs. Me and Zizul didnt have a clue of what to do next. So, i lend him my phone so that he could call his dad to pick us up. While waiting for his dad to come, Zizul went to DQ to buy a blizzard. Theres where i met Kym again. We already met her before the movie started. While at DQ, i mocked Kym with her Antoine. Ahaha. Shes afraid of Antoine, that she didnt even know what to do. Suddenly, she hugged me gayishly. Ahaha. I couldnt run elsewhere. I was stucked. Ahaha. Then, she let go of me cuz she had to go with her friends. So, me and Zizul continued wandering around. We stopped at Fun bread for a while. Zul wanted to eat some buns. Theres this one bun named, 'Chicken Balls'. Ahaha. Me and Zul was laughing our ass out. Ahaha.

After he bought the buns, we waited outside The Mall. Just infront of Best Eastern. We had nothing to do, so we talked about our past relationships with our exes. Ahaha. As time passed by, his dad came. Then we went home. His dad asked me alot. Ahaha. Well, at least he was being friendly to me. =)

Well, i guess thats all. Ohh by the way, the buns that Zizul bought, was not freshly-baked. Ahaha. Pity Zul.

The confident that all liverpool fans need.

Liverpool has been 5 times European champion. Well Arsenal, I don't know. Ermm~ Liverpool have the experience and the quality, Arsenal also has the quality but they tend to make fun of their opponent like what Paul Masefield said on Football Forecast. Liverpool has been in a great run so far, they are the most consistent team i think. Arsenal lately have been inconsistent with their performance and they should drop out players like Bendtner and so on. They must gain confident and desire to win in order to beat Liverpool. We all hope it will be a classic match between these two rival. Well I'm done with my part. Reported by RTB. Wahahaha xP

Sunday's Battle - Arsenal vs. Liverpool


Steven Gerrard... The two skippers go toe-to-toe at Emirates Stadium.

21st December, 2008.
16:00 GMT

Venue: Emirates Stadium

This Sunday's key battles;




Gael Clichy vs. Dirk Kuyt

Dirk Kuyt has been impressive this season, scoring five goals for his team. He also had been setting up a lot of goals for his team-mates. But on the other hand, Gael Clichy has been getting his top form back. Winning nine tackles out of seventeen tackles that he made. His attacking is also improving, the dribble rate has already pass the 50% mark and a goal on his name.




Cesc Fabregas vs. Steven Gerrard

This will be the main battle on Sunday. Two skippers will battle it out each other. Cesc Fabregas has been imperious since given the armband by Arsene Wenger in November. He assisted more compare to Steven Gerrard. Its four to two, respectively. But Cesc Fabregas couldnt find his scoring boots this season. Only scored one goal this season. Meanwhile, the Red's skipper, Steven Gerrard scored five more goals compare to the Gunner's skipper. He also won more tackle than Cesc Fabregas. So, this will be a tough battle between these two skippers.




Emmanuel Adebayor vs. Jamie Carragher

Emmanuel Adebayor is now on a superb form, scoring two games consecutively for his team adding seven goals already for his tally making him the top joint goal scorer along with Robin Van Persie for Arsenal this season. But Adebayor will face a difficult challenge this Sunday. He will be up against Jamie Carragher. The big strong, defensive player who won more tackles compare to his Liverpool's team-mates. But he also added his own goal tally with his blunder against Hull City at Anfield last timed-out.

Arsenal's injury list;



Samir Nasri *knee*
(95% for him to return this Sunday)



Kolo Toure *calf*
(95% for him to miss the game this Sunday)



Theo Walcott *shoulder*




Nicklas Bendtner *knee*
(Doubtful)




Tomas Rosicky *hamstring tendon*




Eduardo *recovered from broken leg and fracture*
(Still recovering his fitness)

Questionable Ending

This morning, i went for a swim with my friends named Naqiu and Kamal at the National Swimming Complex, Berakas.

But before we arrived there, we went to The Polo Club's Swimming Area. We came there about 8am but the receptionist told us that it wont be open until 9 in the morning.

So, since it was still early, we decided to go to National Swimming Complex at Berakas instead. Rather than waste our time waiting for the Polo Club to be open.

Well, we spent about more than two hours in the pool. *batah? I know~~* ahaha. Me and Naqiu was teaching Kamal on how to do a perfect freestyle, since both of us already finished & mastered our swimming course.

Kamal's dad picked us up at 11.15am. By that time, we just finished having our breakfast since we havent ate since morning.

We had some rest and lunch at Kamal's house. I took a nap. I was too damn tired to stay awake. Naqiu and Kamal were playing games at that time. They both still got the energy to stay awake eventhough they didnt sleep since last night. Ahaha.

About 1.30pm, his sister dropped us at The Mall. We were bored, so we decided to watch a movie. There were Twilight, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Cicakman 2 and IP Man. We chose The Day The bla bla bla... We wont pick Twilight since we all are anti-Twilight people. Ahaha.




The movie started pretty good and convincing with all the sphere and suspense of the film. But half way there, we started to get bored since there are still no sparks in the movie that we have been waiting for. So we watched on and on and on.. Until the ending. First, we thought that the ending will shows us all the climax of it. But unfortunately it didnt. Instead, it left us with questions that we kept thinking. Ahaha.

The last line that Keanu Reeves said was, "He was right. What he said at the brig, we do change." thats all. Then, he sacrificed himself for the human. I mean what the hell??! The weird thing is that all the humans died easily by the aliens. Like it only tooks 3 seconds for them to die. But Kluutoy *Keanu Reeves*, it took about one minute for him to die. Ahaha. *walaupun hero* then, after he's dead. The alien leave the Earth. Then, the movie ends just like that. Ahaha. What a weird ending. So much questions yet to be answered. Ahaha.

Well then, to all the people out there, please be sure to choose the right movie that you wanted to watch. Otherwise, you could end up being like us = 'bangang'. Ahaha.

The Gay Picnic - Part 4

Here are some of the pictures take were taken during that day;















The Gay Picnic - Part 3

Aftes the cooking session, we all went for a walk at the beach. But the dudes decided to have fun in the water instead. Well, boys always be boys. Ahaha.

Most of the boys got sun-burn. Lucky me, i used sun-block. Ahaha. But i do still think that im getting black. Once you go black, theres no going back. *lamee~~* ahaha.

So, after spending an hour plus in the water, we had a rest at our hut. Fuhh~

We all went home at 5pm. Well, not all of us. Some of us had to go home early. So yeah. Thats how it went.

The important things are that we had fun and we got to meet each other. I miss them so much.

Its fun hanging out with you guys. Looking forward to meet you guys soon.

The Gay Picnic - Part 2

So, as soon as we arrived to that beach which was the Berakas Beach. We booked the two places. After the places is settled, i went for a sight-seeing at the beach while thinking of someone special to me. Ahaha.

As time flies by, Naqiu came with his sleepy expression on his face. Ahaha. Soon, my teacher and my little sister arrived. Named Teacher Suza and Farahiah respectively.

Naqiu asked us whether Aslam will be coming or not? Since he only could come at 12.00pm. He said that he has a function to attend to. Thats what Aslam told Naqiu. At that time, I realised something, "He has a function to attend to." I mean what the HELL?? Function on Tuesday afternoon? ahaha. Doesn't make sense at all. Suddenly, a silver-coloured Toyoto Vios came. It was Aslam with the smile on his face. Naqiu just got 'punk'd' by Aslam. Silly them. Well, we are all brothers from another mothers. Ahaha.

So while waiting for the others, we all burnt the coal that we bought. We bought two packets actually but we used only one. Each worth $10.65, so it was a waste of money. Ahaha.

Just as we started to cook the chickens, Hasinah, Syikin and Aqilah arrived with smiles brighten their faces. *what the?* ahaha. Followed by the arrival of Amirul exactly at 10am. Just as we expected. Ahaha.

So yeah, a lot of cooking and barbequing to be done. Blablabla..

The Gay Picnic - Part 1

16th December, 2008.

Well, it wasnt exactly a gay picnic that we planned to. A lot of people that we invited, didnt come. Due to certain reasons. *sigh

As i was saying, the dudes arrived first at the site. It was me, Afiq, Kamal and Yamin. We all followed Afiq's car. A professional yet unlicensed driver. Ahaha.

We came there about 6.30am, but unfortunately the gate was still closed. It was opened at 7.15am. So yeah, we had to wait for 45 minutes in a car with 4kg of raw chicken. Ahaha. Afiq got mad with the mosquito in the car that he punched the front window. The window cracked. *wow, never knew he got a powerful punch* Ahaha.

The Big Game

Arsenal vs. Liverpool

3 days to go

who will win?

We'll find out.

Team updates will be posted soon.

EV - Day 4

The last day, the day that all the teams gathered around to watch and witness the closing ceremony, certificate and prize giving presentation, group photos, etc.

It started at lunch time, at 12pm and finished by 2pm. It was held at IGS college. The lunch was cooked and served by the Safari Restaurant. I didnt eat much. Neither did Nana. Both of us were on diet at that time. Ahaha. Bee, Zee, Kym, Tiqah and Fiqah only ate tarts. Even Amal ate those tarts. It was simple yet tasty.

The race was won by team E La Vita, followed by Purple Nurple and Noobs which came 2nd and 3rd place respectively.

After the end of the ceremony, Crepuscule, Party of Four, Neen and Amazing 4, all hung out at Seri Q-lap Mall. We watched a movie called Bolt. It was a good film yet Kym still dont understand the storyline until now. Ahaha. Pity youu~

After watching the movie, we went to Jollibee. They were hungry, so they ate there. After spending about a half an hour in there, Me, Bee, Zee, Kym, Jee, Zizul, Neena and Bee's friend which i forgot the name *sorry* went to the arcade. It was soo boring. The arcade wasnt lively enough. So, you get what i mean.

We all went home about 5.30pm. I did something before i went home which no one didnt expect me to do it at that day. Ahaha. And yet, i felt regret for doing it so. ;P

So, thats about it. The Explore Venture ended here. It was a great experience and i made a lot of friends. I hope there will be a reunion for the teams. Ahaha. Cant wait.










EV - Day 3

Umm.. We got eliminated, so i didnt even know what happened in the race during this day. Ahaha. But i do know that the Party of Four hung out at The Mall just to meet the other teams.

EV - Day 2

Day 2, at Kebajikan Sports Complex. This day wasnt exactly the same as the first day. It was moreover on sports than race. So, a lot of physical stuffs to do.

As usual, it started exactly at 7.30am. The warm ups and all that stuffs. I had a feeling that we might have problems. My team didnt have any physical presence on us. We are only good in mental and puzzle stuffs.

So as i was saying, the relay race, dribble the ball with our backs and the three legged race, we came last on all of this events. But we managed to get points on futsal's penalty kick and throw the hoops. And we also got 4th place on bar lifting. So, altogether we only managed to get 2 points. It was a very difficult race. 12 teams were eliminated including my team; Crepuscule, Party of Four, Neen and other 8 teams.

Everyone had fun, but went home with an injury nevertheless. Ahaha.



EV - Day 1

My team name was Crepuscule. How to pronounce it? *kre-pus-cuul* get it? Though alot of people had a difficulty to pronounced it. Ahaha. My team leader is Kym Jake. Im the assistant, and two other members which are Tiqah and Fiqah *theyre sisters*.

I came about 6.20am, i was the only team member of Crepuscule to arrived that early. Ahaha. Others came about 7am. When i arrived, i met the Party of Four. So, i hung out with them while waiting for my teammates to arrive.

7.30am, the time which the race starts. All the teams were getting ready at that time. All of us had to do warm-up strecthes. Ahaha. Annoying much.

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock.
As time flies by, all the team finished the race about 10am. We came 4th on our red group. There are 5 more other groups. Luckily, we didnt get the last place. The teams that were on the last place in each group should be eliminated but fortunately they didnt. The organiser decided to give them a chance to race one more day. So, the race was getting more tougher and harder. *sigh~

Well, at least everyone had fun. Ahaha. As the first day past by, the next day awaits.
