Back to winning ways

Yep, Arsenal won just now, a 2-0 win over Boro after the breathe taking but disappointing draw at Anfield, we're back among the 3 points club.hehe. Arshavin scoring all 4 goals in that match, received a standing ovation wherever he went around the pitch. Well, I would too. Well, today he din't score any but after the 4 goals, who would blame him? But, he looked jaded or maybe even lazy towards the end as he just did not run much...hmm, injured? Well, not much to write about, just that happy with the results. Keep building a good and strong foundation to beat MU!!! Go Gunners!

Well, the 'Amazing G-Race 2009' has come to an end, another chapter written and closed. Alot happened, some good ones, quite a number of bad ones. Gonna write about in another post, not really in the mood to write about it yet, digesting what happened before I let it all out. Well, hope this can act as a good lesson to not only me, but also my team. Well, I accept all the critics as I think we deserved it. Oh well, we all have low times, I felt down, now still trying to pick myself up. I'll be back and fight for another day. Feeling a bit demotivated, but I wont quit, I'll be putting down a lot of good times ahead if I do. So, still digesting...

We're Out

Yes, Arsenal lost to Chelsea at the semi-finals on the FA cup. A draw would be fair based on the performance of both teams. However, Chelsea created their chances and took them when it mattered. So, Arsenal could only have themselves to blame.

From what I see is that, its almost like de javu, two years ago in the Carling Cup finals, Walcott scored first but Chelsea came out winners. The exact score, 2-1. That's just coincidence I guess. But one very important factor was the starting 11 selection. Why on earth did both Nasri and Arshavin left on the bench!? and why replace both van Persie and Adebayor out before the game end? Mr.Wenger, please go back and look yourself in the mirror, how do you expect to win with both key offensive players sitting on the bench at the start of the game.

You know what, in every Arsenal's game, I'll have this feeling when the team is either ending up not winning, as in a draw or even a defeat. Unless a lucky break pops up like penalty. It was like that as well, even though after Walcott scored the opener. Guess, this time sadly, I am proven right again. Well, the defence was very nervy with a very nervous goalkeeper, Fabianski. The attack wasn't really into it as well. Only Walcott was the main threat but his crossing let the team down. All in all, as i mentioned, we only got ourselves to blame. Congratulations Chelsea...

Clarification...

Hmm, getting a lot of attention due to the previous post that I had published. Guess that's just human nature. Hey come on, its not like I'm going to do something about it, its just my personal opinion or expression or whatever you wanna call it. Plus, in a way, its kinda forbidden to venture forward...which is one of my main fears of having such thing happening, because I had this experience before as well, back in NS =.=. Just my luck huh? As for those who already know without me telling, kindly, I am begging you, to please leave her alone, wanna tease me or what, I don't mind but please do not simply spread around or start picking on her. You know who you are...

Anyway, nothing much happened lately, I missed the game between Wigan and Arsenal, where the young Gunners came from behind to win 1-4. I missed the match simply because there was no live coverage or even delay...WTF!? Its the Champions League next, at home, hosting Villareal, although we have one away goal on our side, but judging from what happened at the bridge, anything can happen in the world of football. So, GO GUNNERS!!!

Lastly, before I go, I really need to say this, my internet connection is almost like non-existence, can come online but can't do anything, super slow wei!!! Can't even log into my MSN, not even loading the Facebook's home page!? AND, to add fuel into the fire some more, I need to do research for my ISU (in short, big project)!!! ARGH, bloody connection which I do not think would recover at all since the contract is coming due on June. So, I guess I'll have to live through the next two months like this. =.=

Its happening again!?

My mind is playing games with me again. I'd gone through it twice and its still coming back! Why can't I just live my life as how I had been living during the first 16 years of my life?......yes, I think am attracted to someone again...Every time this happens, everything will be on the line, including friendship. Am I willing to put it all to the test once more? Am I even qualified to be in a relationship? More importantly, am I even worth for the girl? Me being me, she can definitely find a much better guy compared to me....Oh well, I guess I'll just keep my thoughts to myself. Can't help it, just really need to let it out............Just let time do its job I presume *shrugs*

About Me

Its another weekend, a period of time where I normally would be cut off from my friends or anything happening around out there unless I am in college or in MSN. Yea, sad case, I do not really go out, mainly cause I can't find people to go out with or I am just plain lazy because need to take bus. So, here I am, writing here with my electronic buddy as my company.haha =D

Some asked me why my blog is full of words and no pictures. Well, I do not really like taking solo pictures or a.k.a camwhore. So, unless I got 'candid'ed, then its not likely for me to upload any picture of me here. Even if got pictures, It'll be of very limited number and not all got me inside...I donno why, I just feel a bit weird in front of the camera at times, while at times I am ok with it. *shrugs*

Hmm, I had been backtracking through my life recently, going through all the memories I have. The past always play games with my mind, whether its making me happy, sad or at times making me feel like an idiot =D.

I had been thinking of my life back in National Service. I had no regrets whatsoever going there, except for the part of having my hair shaved off T.T. Well, it was during that period of my life where I discover some part of myself better. I took up many challenges and explore new grounds which I never thought I could even do. I went for a spot among the 'Rank Holders', even though I had no past experience in this field at all. Plus, being who I am, my level of BM isn't great and my usual talk will also lag at times, I still went for it, with the intention of learning in my mind. I went through many lows during that period, being the laughing stock and stuffs by the whole camp. I broke down, yes, I am not afraid to admit that, but I believe that made me stronger and ignited my desire to succeed. In the end, I did, I fullfilled my own expectation, being the 'Ketua Kompany' of Bravo, which I have to say, was where I met some great people and spent a memorable time. Well, I left camp early, got my own reasons and I missed the shooting range, which is some of the disappointment back in camp I guess. But, I broke down again during my farewell speech to my company, such wonderfull people they are.

This learning curve will forever hold an important spot in my heart. I even had some funny moments as well. I was actually mistaken for being a Malay by another fellow Chinese, mainly due to the fact that, I represented my company as an emcee, conducted in BM. This is ironic as I donno whether to be happy or sad...haha. Besides, I learnt some commands in marching and of cause the actual march as well. I even discover that I could shout louder that I actually think I could, albeit I generate my voice from my throat rather than my diaphragm. Above all, I actually learnt to smile back in the days in NS. =D

*a picture does indeed speaks a thousand words, taken during the company photo session. This is not the actual one, its was taken by one of the trainer, a candid shot.*

* the picture of the Rank Holders, not the actual one as well. Great people.*

Now, back to the main topic. My past. My friends play a major role in my life as well, who doesn't? Well, its now entering the final phase of my time in CIMP. Made a few wonderful friends here as well but its soon coming to an end, not the friendship, being in CIMP together. Most probably, I'll be seeing them in Uni as well, since we're going to the same Uni but how frequent we can meet is still another mystery.

Next, definately I would write about my time being in Juniors and Council! The time i had and going to have here, I would not trade it for anything else in this world we are living in. I treasure the moments, albeit high or low, the friendship and the togetherness under one roof where we can look out for each other. I just love being in such organization or student body. I can't imagine my college life now is if I have not went and enquire about the Junior Leadership Programme back in July last year. I guess that was my calling, for no reasons, after the orientation, I went straight to SSD to ask about the programme. As a result, here I am today! I thank Jason and Jack for giving me a chance to be part of the Juniors. I thank the board of advisors for having me back.

*the formal shot. The beginning of something great!*

*this is more like us =D!*

*Last but certainly not least, the beginning of all great things in college. During our big project, Freshie Nite 09', RetroTechno.*

Yea, you might say that I sometimes live in the past. But I don't think so, I take my past as reference and I will continue to live the way I had been all this while.hehe

Time for some random cases about me.
Firstly, people say I am quiet. Well, I am at times. However, I mainly deal with people, with the way they deal with me. If they are crazy, I can be crazy, if their are those gentle type, I'll be gentle with them as well. If they prefer playing rough, I would either back off to go head on. So yea, I am quiet misunderstood at times and I don't think I am a hypocrite for being like this. I am just merely dealing with people with different approach.

Next, I really CANNOT dance. I can just move along with the beat. Some of my friends seen me during RetroTechno, I was just moving along with the beat, NOT dancing =.=

I sing too^^! But only for myself, because I suck in it :p. The washroom was my stage back in my home. =D.

Anyway, I guess thats all this time, if I missed out anything, will include it in my next post^^. Till then, take care everyone!

Commitment? Stupidity? Selflessness?

Yea, that's me... Working my ass off 90% of the time...Well, am I to blame to take on board all these? I just can't bring myself to not care and wait for the stuffs that are needed to be done, get done. More so when things are behind the schedule set before hand! ARRGGHH!

Patience is virtue, take this as a test Tat Yang. Things will surely get better!

Tired

After working out in the gym last Sunday, I am still feeling the effects now, my whole body aching thus restricting some of my usual movement. Ouch man, but with pain proves that I worked my body out a little. Gotta work out some more, been out of the business for far too long. Hope this time I can hang on to it much longer! hehe.

Well, what better way to relax and chill, listening to some truly classic songs? I am totally in love with some classic songs, they are indeed, as I typed a few times, CLASSIC!!! Nice! Well, I would like to share the lyrics I found online of the songs I'd been listening to lately. Hope you all would also enjoy the songs as much as I do. Peace!

ABBA
Dancing Queen

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the musics high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

Youre a teaser, you turn em on
Leave them burning and then youre gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

*feel like moving along the beat when I listen to this =D*

All Out of Love
(graham russell, clive davis)

Im lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesnt really know, doesnt really know

(chorus)
Im all out of love, Im so lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
Im all out of love, what am I without you
I cant be too late to say I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from these long, lonely nights
Im reaching for you, are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh, so right?

And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I cant hold on?
Theres no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or Ill be gone, Ill be gone

(chorus)
Ooh, what are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
What are you thinking of
(repeat chorus)

*just CLASSIC!*

Bee Gees
Too Much Heaven

Chorus:
Nobody gets too much heaven no more
Its much harder to come by
Im waiting in line
Nobody gets too much love anymore
Its as high as a mountain
And harder to climb

Oh you and me girl
Got a lot of love in store
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
And I love you so much more
Then my life..i can see beyond forever
Evrything we are will never die
Lovings such a beautiful thing
Oh you make my world.. a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away

Chorus..

You and me girl got a highway to the sky
We can turn away from the night and day
And the tears we had to pay(u hade to cry)
Youre my life..
I can see a new tomorrow
Evrything we are will never die
Lovings such a beautiful thing
When you are to me, the light above
Made for all to see our presious love

Chorus..

Love is such a beautiful thing
You make my world a summer day
Are you just a dream to fade away

Chorus..

Nobody gets too much love anymore
Its as wide as a river and harder to cross

Chorus..(repeat and fade)

*took me some time to like this song, but it was more than worth it!*

My humble view on matters

Hmm, been wanting to write, but got nothing to write =.=. Oh well, so i just thought of writing about the matters surrounding us from my humble point of view, so please don't take things seriously or get offended ok? Different people got different perspective right?

Alright, to start thing off, how about with a profession. I would like to point out that those being the streets sweeper, rubbish collector, janitor or even those construction workers. These are the jobs that my mom used to tell me that are for those who did not want to study when they were young, in getting me to study when I was young. Well, yea, back in the days, I did not look up to them and sometimes even laughed at them. My sincere apologies for that, as now I realized how much of a difference they can make.

Just imagine, if they are no street sweepers around, how would our street in town will turn out to be like?

If there are no rubbish collectors around, where would our waste products end up at? By the streets? In our front/back yard?

If there are no construction workers, working under the hot sun even though it may be our public holidays, where are we going to get our shelter?

Now, don't tell me that, in the future these profession would also require high qualification? Even so, how many of us would actually consider doing such work everyday? Well, honestly, I don't so which is why I am grateful for the fact that we got such people around us. They are also human, so why not give them the respect that they deserve? Just a simple 'Thanks' when they come and collect our plates or just a simple smile when we see them. Show them we appreciate them, instead of discriminating them. Just the other day, the cleaning lady in college came and collect the used plates, I just said 'Thanks' and she smiled back. So yea, these little things can brighten up a person's day. Make saying 'Thanks' a habit, you wont lose anything in doing so.

Besides, I would also like to point out the way girls talk at times. In general, girls are more sensitive to stuffs when guys are not, which is why guys usually get an ear full from their girl friend for not understanding her. Well, here is my view:

Firstly, I just do not understand when girls talk, in a way that 'No' means 'Yes' and vice versa. Its like...come on, why can't you just tell me what you want or what you don't want? Instead of beating around the bushes and in the end I get an ear full for not knowing what you want...

Secondly, girls always like to say, 'We're girls, you wont understand'...Instead of saying that, why don't you enlighten me instead of saying I won't understand. I want to understand so I won't repeat the same mistakes, but no, she would just either cry or just refuse to talk...What a wonderful world huh....Maybe the explanation that guys 'XY' and girls 'XX' does make sense. A guy's 'Y', got less one 'leg'(whatever you call it) compared to 'X'. *shrugs*

Next, like I mentioned, girls would just refuse to talk whenever they are angry and expect the guy to try to cheer them up or find a solution. HOW IN THE WORLD IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN IN WHATEVER I DO I DON'T GET ANY FEEDBACKS? Think about it!

*Note : I write based on experience*

Hmm, ran out of ideas suddenly, so I'll just stop here this time. Peace!

Back with a BANG!

Another win for the Arsenal! Oh yea, revenge is sweet. A 2-0 win over Manchester City, not a bad result but definitely could be better but nonetheless, a win is still a win. Overall, a solid team performance but its more like a bitter sweet week for the Arsenal, the return of big players on the attacking front, Fabregas, Adebayor and Walcott boosted our attack however, we lost van Persie, Diaby and Eduardo during the international break...Well, at least they still won with the lost of these players. With the introduction of Adebayor back into the squad, more quality was certainly injected up front if compared to Bendtner, mainly cause Adebayor got better first touch! Fabregas did ok, maybe need a little more time to be passing through the eye of a needle and as for Walcott, gotta be more careful, cant be running into other players and getting hurt. Well, enough of writing about them, Villareal is next. COME ON GUNNERS!!!

Besides, I am back too^^! Back here to write...hehe. Had been busy of late, and when I feel like writing, nothing could be generated from my brain, guess I am running out of my brain juice O.o...Oh well, been busy planning for 'The Amazing G-Race', work is still in progress, could had been much more nearer to the finishing line but due to my poor planning and leadership, we're still not quite close yet. What were you thinking Tat Yang!? But I am very fortunate to have a group of wonderful and very supportive people as my group members. What more could I ask for? I felt that I let them down, let myself down as well for failing to lead them, we could had covered more ground with the quality that they shown through meetings. So yea, you looking at the cause, right here...*sigh* Get your acts together Tat Yang!!! *I am lost, in need of direction to lead me on so that I wont be putting the effort and hard work of others to waste*

Well, something weird is happening to me recently, as for a coward like me who is a very anti-horror/violent themed movies/books/materials, had been reading the synopsis of the 'Saw' series O.o...what in the world is getting into me!

Well, yesterday, went back to college, with the generous(insurance, so next time can ask her again :P) Kelly Ho giving me a ride there. Thanks! Well, the program went well, but could be alot better if the crowd was more into the whole thing, but cant expect much also, unless its a council thing.hehe. Got some pictures taken, mostly by Jeremy but I'd got some too^^. *wont be uploaded this time, as the pictures' resolution is too huge and takes forever to be uploaded, will certainly upload the next time. Stay tune*

Well, just wanna end with another lyrics. This one by Nevermore, Final Product, its about the media, see whether you agree or not. Chaoz

Final Product

The media loves the latest tragic suicide
They exploit it, then package it and profit from the people who die
Look at the world, look at the hell, look at the hate that we've made
Look at the final product, a world in slow decay
I'm told that all your seeds are black
I've learned the question in unanswered and opaque

We're witnessing a famine of the innocent
Did they die for religion or the government?
Because if your god won't do, their god will starve you
Look at the world, look at the hell, look at the hate that we've made
Look at the final product, a world in slow decay
I'm told that all your seeds are black
I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque

There are those that believe the world is ending again
That impending Armageddon is inevitable and waiting

The last survivor barely breathing
Should I run or will I fall? How have I survived at all?

I've told that all your seas are black
I've learned the question is unanswered and opaque

We live in a time of revolution
We swim the silent seas of sanity gone
