2009-07-24T09:24:00.000-07:00

Alright, look at my blog, not alot of emo post, cause i am not emo kind, and i believe this world is filled with positive things but now i am really stressed.

I believe some people are going to korea at the end of the year, i really wish to go too, however, i backed out before 3 months after the plan, sorry guys.

i do admit i have some money at first, that is because i was doing some extreme saving technique.

Start of this year, i started to save, i have 60 dollar of allowance a week, so i save 40 dollar a week, 1 month 160 dollar, i only spent 20 dollar, 10 dollar for travelling 10 dollar for food, indeed in one months i saved many money, but i lost weight cause i only eat 1 meal a day, and its school cai bun, 90 days straight of cai bun. Then i find i am dying so i decided to back out.

And i agree i could work, but start of the year i have to prepare for Beijing and Paris trip, for these both competitions i cannot squeeze out anytime, i have to plan jam and 2 single in 3 months time, and at the end i can only train my paris combo 2 week before the comp, so cannot work >.<

Paris trip won me some money, but when i have money my mom dun give me allowance, and she dun support me go korea or skate, or oversea competitions or whatsoever, so i used them up quickly.

The prize money is 400 sing dollar, 100 dollar to buy 2 jeans for skating(its ex i know but i need for comp) i left a 100 for other expenses, so i could go out for movies and all, but its only 5 movies and i had them all planned out, each and every cent. 200 eat, travel.

now i have $0 opps :x

i actually threw my cat out to save money, thats how extreme it is. I don't smoke almost 100% cause i have no money at all and now my contact lens solutions is out and i am using over used solution for 2 days.

I need to prepare for the wsc single and jam, and i dun want to lose anytime, but now i have to work to cover my own expeneses, i already lost 1 day, sunday gona work from now on, tuesday school till 9.30pm, so left with mon, wed, thur, fri, sat. 4 days a week.

I aim to be world no.1 in Shanghai WSC this year, its been 3 years and i still cannot reach it, if this year still cannot get then i am dam useless already, seems like my best is not enough, i better come down to earth if thats the case.

I feel dam useless now. The thought of money and skate then my school so sucky i dam stress already, life really sux, especially for a skater, or particularly skater like me >.<

Combo and competitions.

2009-07-18T08:28:00.000-07:00

Hello guys, today is all about combo making and competitions strategy for inline slalom.

As competition is nearing by, some might be very stress, some might be finally finishing their combo, some may be just finishing their first line, but whatever the case, i hope this post will help you out ^^ i might be wrong so don't quote me >.<

What is the main important factors to making a good combo? Well there are some very good pointers. Its is just like making a movie, or writing a story.

1st the back ground music, one must have 'feel' with the music to make a good combo, make sure there is some impact also, but don't impact all the way, like a story, there must be high and low point, high all the way is boring and mistake are easily made, too low will be boring and unattractive. As long as theres 'feel' it should be alright AND the ENDING is very IMPORTANT, make sure the routine ends WITH the music, in my view ending a combo without the music ending is very very unsightly to me. XP

2nd is the technical aspect. Like a movie, there will be interesting part, your combo also must have difficult moves, one can end a combo with wheelings, spins or high end jumping or sitting, normally higher end families' moves are recommended but it depends very much on the music coordination and the intentions of the skater.

3rd is which in my view is the most important part, your connection between the audience and yourself during competition. Always remember that they are there to SEE you PERFORM and not there to see you WIN. As long as you put up a good show, then you have succeed in what you want to achieve, winning is secondary as always, it IS important, but think about it only AFTER the competitions, or don't think about it at all :P

4th ENJOY ^^

2009-07-17T09:16:00.000-07:00

Live your life, as you will not get out of it alive. XD

The new wave.

2009-06-22T10:42:00.001-07:00

I can see clearly now.
How is one wave influencing the new wave.
Bringing with them new wave following behind.

What a relieve to see it evolve.

One influencing another, which piles up over many years, each playing
one role into creating what we all aim to reach.

Good luck guys.

Its getting all so strange.

Sunday in ECP

2009-06-07T10:13:00.000-07:00

Today was quite an fruitful day.

Went down to Ecp at about 3pm, then skated there. Its like a team reunion.

Got me, cla, ben, and cle, all the old timers, skating the way out like the past.
We were all in BanKai mode, luckily today not many skaters or they will think we gone crazy, doing inhuman slalom tricks. Pushing body and mental limits and i wonder if doing much of them will have any side effects.

But anyway i can feel the side effects already lol XD.

Then cla and ben and cle ate at carlson's son's restruant ( carl's junior)

Got 3 cup of coke, bring into rink then clarence spill in front of cones' line, zai.
So all went brought the drinks to the front.

Later cla then go there say : oi see spill le still got so many ar.
Ben: Lightning dun strike twice, spill again no more le.

Right after finish the sentence, ben pick the coke up and spill on the floor! WTF!
We were laughing like crazy, the coke really no more sia. XD

6 days paris trip.

2009-06-03T08:16:00.000-07:00

Day 1 went to airport in the morning, then ate breakfast in the airport, then it is the boring 17 hours flight, 8 hours to dubai, the wait 2 hours for transit, then 7 more hours to paris.

Day 2, arrive in paris, weather is gloomy and its very very cold~ no sun. And the most funny thing is the sun only set at about 10.30pm? So not used to it, and first day meet ksj already and we sleep in the same home, in seba's mom's home! Hahaha. His mom is very very nice and morning got very nice break fast!

Day 3 Paris tour. Went to effiel tower but never went up, cause the Q dam long.

Then still got go to the very north of paris which is high on a hill and can see the whole paris, hehe, got a big big beautiful church, very very shiok.

Then comes the day of competition, in classic slalom~~ wooooo~~ see my run~~

Hehe got 4th~~

Then next day got battle some rounds that i am in.

AH!! SHIT!

END!

Congratulations people!

2009-05-22T09:36:00.001-07:00

Yo yo yo, welcome to my blog, nothing is going to bring my mood down today and i am going to tell all of you why!

First, i want to congratulate myself for getting approval from nyp, to go to Paris slalom competition! Woo hoo! *CLAP CLAP. My director say ok and support! Yea man you rock!

Second! is to congratulate all my friends! Why?!! Because i have a great news! i am still alive! Sounds lame? Things like " oh terence is alive" sounds normal and like can dun care right? See dun appreciate me le, i not here le how?

Today i was on my way to school, then i was walking to my bus stop to take the 72, then i see one guy, quite fat and dark de, i see him, he see me, then he walk up to me say: hey please give me 2 dollar, makan....

Then he hold up his hand like praying. If its you then you tell him f off right? But with my kind heart, i give him la. I also got times i no money eat, so poor thing! >.< whether he bluff me or what doesn't matter cause my intention was good! Who cares about the result?

Now after i did my good deed, which is giving him 2 dollars, i went to cross the road. Everyday i will choos 3 ways to cross the road.

1. Jay walk in front of traffic light.

2. Jay walk at the traffic light.

3. Cross the traffic light when its green.

So you cross the road what normal de, green man cross, red man stop, rulez mah, no need see right?

Then today i don't know why, some unknown forces tell me: "terence look right, look right~"

The traffic light turn green the i was unable to move and my head automatically turned right, seeing a white van accerlerating at about 60km/hour? And zoom!!!!!!
Pass the red light at full force.

I was stoned 0_0 i could have died just instantly, wow, i am alive.

Scary right? Whether this have to do with my good deed or not i don't know, also not up to me to judge, but it was really really strange incident.

So guys do more good deed! Have a heart for others, just try your best, if cannot nevermind de, at least got try mah.

END!

2009-05-19T18:52:00.000-07:00

Gathering up all of our dreams
Going to search for our desires -- One Piece

Compasses only cause delays
Filled with excitement, I take the helm

If we can prove the dusty old treasure map,
Then it's not a legend anymore!

It's alright if our personal problems
Get on someone else's nerves
Because we think about them too much

Gathering up all of our dreams
And going to search for our desires
A coin in the pocket, and
You wanna be my friend?
We are, we are on the cruise! We are!

Even though I believe everything I'm told
When my shoulders are shoved, I take a one-step lead

If we ever meet again, I'll tell you all about
What I've been doing and where I'm headed next

So being in a pinch is always
A good opportunity to appeal to someone
With excess self-consciousness!

Full speed through the stingy night!
I'm not interested in treasure anyway
A romance in the pocket, and
You wanna be my friend?
We are, we are on the cruise! We are!

Gathering up all of our dreams
And going to search for our desires
A coin in the pocket, and
You wanna be my friend?
We are, we are on the cruise! We are!

We are! We are!

Enlightenment from god!

Long time no blog le, suddenly got feel! XD

Some informations of my life lately.

Just got out of my old releationship with someone, which was never meant to be, at first i was worried, but in the end still have to do it. Long pain why not short pain. At first i thought she will kill herself, then i thought if she really does, then short pain will still be better option for her. In the end gana attatuide somemore sia and i think got new bf? My worries was for nothing for so long. I feel that just need to tell the truth, get things clear, and if she got the message, then its alright, sure both will be sad, but how? Also not anyone fault, heaven dun make things pretty also cannot blame. Things will happen will surely happen, things that don't force also cannot.

Not so stress anymore and felt stupid lol, i think too much.

Now i can concentrate into enjoying my skating, and have fun wahahaha! Have many ideas for skating XD

I think everyone can make their own decision de, what to do, how to train, its nice to see everyone skating improve, and move on to anoter new level.

On the other hand those that stay at one point, will lose interest and in the end die off... But my group are all well skaters! Hahaha, all having fun, and i am happy hehe!

High le. Too many hotcakes and sugar.

gotta save...

2009-04-29T16:55:00.000-07:00

Saving the last breath of strength for the competition.

Feel like dying from this sickness.

Worst still it spreads :(

Sorry there, hope you get well soon.

END!

2009-04-27T10:35:00.000-07:00

Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!

Do you have enough?

2009-04-22T20:22:00.000-07:00

Like many people, i have things that i want, and i also have things which i don't have.

Remember in secondary school when we learn our chinese.
One chapter in the text book talks about a man who was lost in the desert. He had nothing but an apple.

Normal people will say: oh my god! i will die! i only have an apple!
But he would thought: oh my! i still have an apple!

Whether he had the apple or not was not important, cause from that moment on he already decided that he is not going to eat the apple, its the only source of hope and energy that he could ever get from the barren desert.

So is life half a bottle empty? Or life half a bottle full?
Hahaha, practically they meant the same thing, but see the difference on how one look at things can change the perspective of life?

Instead of what you don't have? Name some stuff you have hahaha.

I have my family ^^
I have a normal life, still healthy.
I can skate!
I love you
I can bla bla bla.

Hehe,

END!

Oh! This moment!

2009-04-18T11:03:00.000-07:00

So everyone have stress, and anger and sadness, all these negative energy.
So sometimes it will affect the things you do and things turn out differently.

But sometimes, we gotta sit down and think about the present.

Imagine this time, this hour, minute, this very very second.

Will any of the negative energy affect your future? Or the past?

Come to think of it it is like...ah ha! I am skating now and worrying or not wont affect anything? Oh my!

Then i can just go right into what i do and enjoy it at the fullest.

Try it too ^^

Good song! ^^

2009-04-17T21:26:00.000-07:00

都是你的錯
輕易愛上我
讓我不知不覺滿足被愛的虛榮　
　都是你的錯
你對人的寵
是一種誘惑　
　都是你的錯
在你的眼中
總是藏著讓人又愛又憐的朦朧　
　都是你的錯
你痴情夢像一個魔咒
被你愛過還能為誰蠢動　
　　　
　我承認都是月亮惹的禍
那樣的月色太美
你太溫柔　
　才會在剎那之間只想和你一起到白頭　
　我承認都是誓言惹的禍
偏偏似糖如蜜說來最動人　
　再怎麼心如鋼鐵也成繞指柔　
　怎樣的情生意動
會讓兩個人拿一生當承諾

KTV at ** *

2009-04-15T20:47:00.000-07:00

My friend call me to go to ktv.
I thought he want sing song.
Then i found out i misunderstood him.
He meant those old type KTV, you know?

So in the end, got many people joined us.
But i was a little more lonely than the others.
So end up mostly i sing, hehee.
It was a new experience, and quite enjoyable cause i have
most of the KTV system!
XD

But got so drunk almost failed to walk home.
Hahahaha, now feeling better so can blog.

I think i will never go there again, cause if got ktv, i will be addicted to the singing, then care little about other things.

The rate there was quite nice too, lonely hearts can go there for about $30 and be 'unlonely'? The room 5 person share $40 each, 4 jug of beer, but price excluding 'unlonely' service. hahahaa.

Got many chinese and cantonese songs too! wooo, sang many cantonese songs hahaha.

Evil organisation

2009-04-14T10:00:00.000-07:00

It seems like an underground or undercupboard organisation was formed.
Another member of the HORNET organisation was captured and killed.
We will not stop our investigation until all of them are exterminated.

Excecuted.

2009-04-14T07:03:00.000-07:00

The hornet is arrested and been put on trial.
After several thorough investigation, it was found out
that several crimes were commited by it which include multiple homocide
of the recent missing wolf spiders.

The judge found him guilty of his crime and it was sentence to death this morning.

2009-04-13T09:52:00.001-07:00

The hornet is arrested and awaiting trial.

Hornet hornet, where are you.

2009-04-12T22:01:00.001-07:00

I saw you flew in, and i know you want to nest here.
No way in hell i am gona let you do that.
The thought of me sleeping with you kills me.
I will hunt you down.

Can we change the world?

2009-04-12T09:01:00.000-07:00

Been skating many years and have taken many many different views about doing the sports slalom in my mind. Every year i see skaters doing same thing over and over, such boring movements. The only reason i joined slalom is because it does not have traditional rules like other kind of sports.

I remember i once learnt piano when i am young, failed it as i have no talent in music? Or maybe i don't even like it. Took art lesson in yamaha, and always drew shit when i don't even want to see.

Arts and music is choosen by my parents, who have many traditional thinkings, like raising a multi talented child, good in music, studies and arts...well this is the kind of bullshit you get from too much tv.

The chances of a child being a genius is in a very low percentage, and least say in a few aspects. And i hate when things have to be done in a way that is said it is suppose to be done. So totally no room for creativity.

Traditional stuffs are just not for me, and i always like to change them, in a good way of course. Like old chinese saying, old don't go, new don't come, so someitme to improve we must be a little more daring. Sometimes it may look stupid, but people do like changes, be it bad or good. Something new always arouses people's curiousity. Then people will be interested.

Everyone in this planet is special, maybe some are better at something, then some are bad at something. However we should always try to look on the better of things.
Things will be very difficult when one try to change the world, its hard to change how people look at things, however it is easy to change your own's.

So think of the fun things! And the things that make us happy! And the times we suffer? Just throw them away, they don't help us for the better anyway, tomorrow will always come tomorrow! HAHAHA XD the last phrase like written by a retard liddat.

END!

Talent.

2009-04-10T09:23:00.001-07:00

Today topic will not be about friendship, or other boring thing like other's people's problem, or my problem.
Today is about talent vs hardwork.
I am going to use a very good example, ROCK LEE from naruto.
Naruto is an anime about ninja, each ninja have charkra, which can let them use skill know as ninjitsu, which can let them make a duplicate of themselves, use element to attack people, or stuff like that.
Sounds very fun in their world, but For ROCK LEE, it's not fun at all.
He was born with no nijitsu talent, or so as to say, he cannot use it at all.
Imagine every skater who can skate can do slalom, but no matter how you try, or how you train, you just cannot see the cones at all. The world must be real shitty for him for being a ninja who cannot use ninja technique.

However, he did not gave up, because he is full of determination. Since he cannot use ninja technique, he trained his physical attack to imba level which is unimginary for any ninja. Its as good as memorising the distance and the position of every cones in the competition, but you just cannot see them.

Just as life gets shit, it gets shitter, when he lost a fight in a ninja exam. The fight was not the only thing lost, but he also lost one arm and one leg. Being a physical ninja, he can be said to be deemed the most useless ninja.

However in the anime, right after he woke up from the coma of the lost battle, he decided to train on with one arm and one leg.

His determination is very respectable, although i doubt anyone like him would exist in this world at all.

But from then on after watching Rock Lee from naruto, whenever i feel down, or the world seems just so unbearable, all i need is just think of him, and it all seems much easier.

Hahaha, naruto is really good for the first 150 espisode i feel, worth watching.
And for people who think that you have no talent in something you do, hardwork is always the key, and maybe some way you take will be much tougher than others, Rock Lee took the toughest in his life, and would yours be toughest? :)

African kids have no food to eat, whereas food is not even much of issue to us living in the urban area. Hahaha. So stay positive, and life will always find a way.
So appreciation in everything we have, mostly friends and family hehe and the life we have, cause it could really be much worse being born at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

END!

The history of my hair.

2009-04-09T10:50:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, there was this little boy, who was too short to look in to mirror in the toilet, because it is above the sink. His height can only reach the sink. Being a 4 year old boy, how he looks did not matter.

He visit the barber once in every 2 week, it was at the barber when he can see himself in the mirror. This little boy would always be greet by a shocking reflection of himself, seeing himself with the lengendary mushroom hair style. The fringe would always be straight as a ruler, the overall would look like a big bowl on the head.

As always, before the barber would even start, he would burst into tears, almost sure that he suffered from a hair diseases. However once and again, his mother would assure the barber what to do, saying that he cried only because he hated to cut hair.

Being a 4 year old, he would not dare make himself heard, fear that the mother would scold, and thus, carrying on his suffering on and on again.

Years pass by and by then, he reached his primary school age. Since primary 1, people would be laughing behind his back. The problem was not serious at first, since kids that age have parents fixing shitty hairstyles on their kids. As time passes and he grew up, by the time he reaches primary 4, his friends around would have more decent hairstyles, side partings, centre partings, spiky hair.

Being used to this fix hairstyle, he had lost all hope. Being brought up in his hairstyle, he was totally demoralised. His friends would tell him to change, once they dragged him to the toilet to comp a centre parting for him, but the fringe was so well done that 5 seconds later, it would be a mushroom again.

Time passes and he would be in secondary school. His hair wasn't a problem, but one incident caused him to change his mind totally.

One day he walk passed a group of girls, who were from the next class, one of the girl was the one he liked most, cute and sweet looking. As he walk passed them, they stopped their gossiping and watched. He would smile and walk by. As he reached a distant he heard them burst into laughter.

Then he heard one of them say: Oh my god *** ***, didn't he like you? Holy, his hair is like a mushroom.

After hearing it, his knees grew weak, body became heavier.
Suddenly the world looks different, like all eyes were on his hair, the mushroom.

He suddenly grew an anger inside him.
his mind: It is all your fault! Your stupid straight fur, why the F*** you so F****** straight, you like to look like a freaking retard?! You screw up Shi*, nothing could make you worse, gona destroy you at any cost.

And so he went to spent his hard earned $20 without eating lunch for a few days, his mom would not have gave him so much, she would only give him 5 dollar for a student hair cut at the malay barber downstairs his home, which happen to be a mushroom cut.

First time into the saloon, then it became clear, the hair stylist had saved his life, and he sworn that straight fringe is his biggest enemy.

Hate it on sight.

Rain.

2009-04-08T21:04:00.001-07:00

Morning wake up, see the rain.
Weather forecast say will rain.
The sky look like it will rain.
Singapore everyday got rain.
When got sun complain got no rain.
When got rain complain too much rain.
But i always like no rain.
Because you can't skate in the rain.
Even if you can skate in the rain.
You will get wet in the rain.
So i don't like it to rain.
Unless you are Korea's rain.

Can't give up.

2009-04-08T07:39:00.003-07:00

Me: Hey so boring.
Me Clement and Desmond were resting at a void deck, in front of us is an asphalt cirle road, which is tilted at an angle, which caused a slope effect.

Me: Do you think i can skate a full circle backwards? Down the slope part, then up?
Clement: Can la chee bye, just try only.
Me: fuck sia, i fall down the road not play play one sia.
CLement: You scare simi lan jiao, just try only.

I went up to the highest point and took a deep breath, then down i went backwards, the turning part was a little scary, but it was managed easily.

Clement: See so easy!

Then Desmond came back with a drink he bought from the vending machine, his knees bleeding from a previous fall yesterday.

Desmond: Wah, kan ni na, you think i can hold 2 drink in my hand and skate down backwards not, na bei gimme 50cent i go buy another drink i try.

5 minutes later, he is at the top, us cheering at the void deck.
Clement: ai zai ai zai! Steady one! Confirm can!
Desmond: steady la!

Down he went, the downwards part was steadily done, then it came to the turn, however with 2 drinks in both his hands, his body was unable to do a slight tilt, and a fall was inevitable, with the momentum and gravity pulling him down the slope, it was a beautiful backwards knee slide.

Clement: Holy shit, the pope fell.

We quickly run towards him, lying on the floor.

Me: you ok not?
Clement: wah say, your wound the blood flow like free sia.
Desmond: Sianzzzz...
Me: ya la, your wound yesterday now more jialat ar..
Clement:......
Me:.....
Desmond: Got 50 cents?
Me and Clement: What the fuck?!

End of the day he did it, but the amount of blood needed was far too much...

The story of my team.

2009-04-07T08:46:00.000-07:00

After the competition from Shanghai, we were a little demoralised by the results we were getting. The ranking about the competition was not important at all, but it is our performance, not of us have one performance that can be considered presentable.

We saw our own video and we were surprised that we were very very lousy compared to the other skaters. In the inline slalom community, there are 3 big countries.
KOREA, CHINA, FRANCE. These 3 countries are the first 3 to start slalom. France being the first, followed by KOREA then China. Korea is leading at that point of time, with kim sung jing being the world champion, China came in second, with 2 prodigy, GUO FANG and WANG HENG. Both only barely above 13, while getting the top few respectable placing. Then we come to france, the well known SEBA, the first few in the world to slalom with one wheel.

To win the battle, one must always know our opponent well. The KOREANS are the style setters for the whole slalom community, their style were considered best amoung all the countries, with China catching up, mostly copying moves from the koreans, the add in disgusting level of difficult tricks, which made them horrifying foe in the competition for the koreans. French on the other are more traditional, stick to most old tricks, and doing mostly very difficult moves. Each country have different ways to train, however, i have to admit that we the Singapore Team Micro, have the most special way to train.

Back in Singapore, the year 2006 was the year we decided that to catch up with the other countries, the first thing we must learn is to have a strong determination. With our loving captain feeding us on ways to train, and to grind our determination, our team became fearful to other skating teams in Singapore. It was once heard that because of us we caused many people to quit slalom because of our skills, which strike fear to anyone with a dream to get top in Singapore. Little will they know that our first competition in Singapore would cause a devasting effect in upcoming competitions.

The year is 2006, after our months of training, it was finally our first test. The first test was the national competition. When the best in Singapore would compete against each other. This challenges us even further, with our Grand Master John, in the competition. Imagine a fight with one who teaches you. But he stopped slalom for a moment, due to serving NS.

The competition was easy up to the finals, the results were clear. With me, clarence, benjamine, john in it. Everyone was there to strike the gold, but it would be a great challenge for me and clarence, Benjamine was 2005 slalomania champion, which i score last, whereas clarence have no national competition experience at all.

The result came with a surprising result of me getting first, second clarence, third john, and benjamine 4th.

Slalomania 2006 also included speed slalom and slide, speed slalom had clarence being first, aaron getting second and bradon foo 3rd. Slide was impressive and apart from inline culture, we see potential skaters, Jireh Goh and Ernest<<< the guy we knew. Though they never get top, they were performing very very well.

And thus the slide team was formed, a decision made by shirley, our Micro manager, the slide team is very large, consist of almost over 10 people, the history of them i am not clear, but with them in the slide team, Micro became the domanating team in singapore, with slide and slalom, anyone in the freestyle inline community would know us...

Recent times

2009-04-06T12:49:00.000-07:00

Nowadays skating is so complicated, many people have different problems.
Mostly is cause dunno where to skate. Now even i also dunno when or where le.
People ask me i also cannot confirm...but maybe my fault la, i always so indecisive, last minute then know where one.

But if i choose i will go sembawang if never rain, then hougang carpark if rain. Like the good old days....oh....

I better inform everyone next time i go skate or else less people will slalom with me.

PH- Love sembawang.
Rachelle- Love where PH go.
Me- like to skate at hg mscp
clarence- go where he likes.
carlson- dunno
shondy- sembawang.
bryan- anywhere ok
jerome- anywhere

East coast like too crowded nowadays.

Sorry guys...i always fail to call everyone cause i will forget, sometime forget about a few people, but also not purposely one, best is ask me got skate or not, but i always dunno where to go one, actually i go anywhere also can la, but some like there some like here, cannot chop half ma.

But carlson most poor thing la, everyday skate alone, hahaha, like me last time, everyday skate alone. Now more friends more fun, but also more problems la hahaha.

Sometimes amoung skaters will have small misunderstanding between each other, sometimes some skaters will feel left out. But i assure everyone that i enjoy skating with everyone. We all share same passion, and same hobby. The fact that we roll on wheels already makes us like a family.

If can i would like everyone to skate together la, but if cannot, i try to get as many as possible, hahaha.

Then competition everyone also very stress. Yea, i understand, so sometimes i will do stupid things to lighten things off, i dun mind being slapped or mocked at. Wah i say until i so wei da... hehehehe XD

So skaters~ if you can please inform each other of where you all go, just tell me where you all skating la, i can i go, if not mscp? haha, if dunno where to go, ask each other also la, cannot expect everyone to just call you hahaha. Everyone care a little easier, if not skate until so not fun and stress also very tough one. hahaha, tell you all story next time so maybe can inspire more people to love slalom.

Enjoy~

How we love skating ^^

2009-04-06T09:40:00.000-07:00

My dear readers, today i am going to share with you all my life story of up till today. As you all know i am into a sport called inline slalom, but its not the only thing i love. i love to slide too! And i love aggro and street skating! hahaha.

We now go back to the year 2000, when i was 10 years old. That time i love to play basketball, one day, a girl i know show me her carfu skate, and i was really curious about skating. i borrowed her skate and start skating. The skate was shit at the extreme, and least not to say the size was utterly wrong, i have to cram my toe to skate. Never the less i learnt how to stand and do little skating with it.
It took 2 weeks just to learn to stand, and almost a month to even roll, cause i am the only one skating? hahaha.

In the year 2001, my father bought me a skate at $99, carlifornia pro. Correct size, got 8 wheels, omg godly, what more can i ask? And 1 year into skating, i know nuts about braking yet. Then my brother got interested too, and we went into street skating with my street skater friends. We both share 1 skate, and we skate daily.

In the year 2002, i have PSLE, so very little skating for the year.But i manage to get clement to skate once that year, and he was quite interested in it.

The year 2003, the turning point of our life. My uncle from hong kong came to singapore to buy me a present, i told him i want a skate. He got me a ULTRA WHEEL FLEXIBLE FRAME SKATE. At that point of time getting a new skate is like sending me to heaven, beacause i mother would chop her head than to buy me a new skate, so i feel invincible in my ULTRA WHEEL. i skated everyday downstairs my home, just street skating. Jump curbs, walk stairs, do some spins. But i skated alone.

By the end of 2003, my dear friend clement ow yong became very interested in what i do, but since he no skate he will have to share with me. Just so happen that i bought a wrong size, 42 skate, anyone with a feet can wear it at 14 years old, so we shared the skate and learn all the tricks together. How to jump 180 degree, how to skate backwards. At that time he can only skate 1 hour a day, so we can only skate 30 minutes each, but we had alot of fun together.

Now we come to 2004, where all the legendary skaters come into my life. We had the hougang bladers. Contain of clarence, me, clement and desmond. The 4 of us formed the legendary hougang bladers. My brother use my carlifornia pro, i use ultra wheel, desmond use the shittest skate i have ever seen in my life and clement have finally bought his skate! ROLLERBLADE STREET VERVE. Desmond was a real demon skater, but if i am to say his story you will have to ask the hougang blader members, for what he did was legendary. We would sneak out at the middle of the night and skate together and do street skating at that time and it was really a very good time we spent together.

2005! OMG, this is the year whereby from us feeling like the best in hougang, to shittest in hougang, to my very surprise some of my classmates are skaters! And for the first time in my life my friend show me a powerslide, i have no idea what the fuck it is, and i thought we were like frog in the well, from then on i learnt that they go to East Coast park regularly and learn skating from sliders. At that time inline culture is the domainating team, the best in singapore. And we were into slide by then. We trained slide everyday by then. At this year we all learnt how to powerslide and front acid( front t brake) which is like godly move. But with our shit skates and wheels, we found out that we cannot carry on because our skate are dying.

But luckily, we found an alternative, which is slalom. One fine day we met this Guy named john, who is a slalom skater and OMG, i tell you his skill is godly, he can spin on a toe, and it is 2005! He teaches us slalom we had many fun. i was the first to own a so call fs skate, the POWERSLIDE CELL FS II. I saved up from my pocket money for like 1 whole year just to get this freaking skate, which broke after i mastered CRAZY(a slalom move) and changed to MICRO UAS 88, which is a freaking recreation skate, to slalom. We still slide though, but we have wheels problem.

Later in the middle of 2005, i found out that there is a shop in ECP, which is called hvper sports, which have a free wheels box, where people put their used wheels, and since i am the only one who can go to ECP cause clement have the 1 hour curfew, i will bring one freaking big plastic bag and collect all the freaking wheels back to hougang to share with my fellow skaters, but by this time, desmond have stopped skating, because his skate is too shit to slalom. So we carry on our training on slide and slalom and street skating.

After our intensive training, our skates are literally unskatable, none of the skaters have a normal skates. Cuffs broken, wheels flat spot, holes in skate. Still remember one day my bro went to hvper to change wheels, and eddie told him that he will sell him a second skate for 50 dollar, but clarence insisted to change his wheels with $88 on his almost dead carlifornia pro. Holy shit, he change to seba wheels and became godly in slide. Wheel barrow! Parallel! Unity?!! hahaha crazy bastard, with my UAS 88 i can only do up to wheel barrow, and we knew Ernest at that time, and he use STREET FIGHTER skates, to slide! OMG hahaha. And this year i joined my very first competition, SLALOMANIA 2005! I got almost last, and i was very sad, but i told myself i will be better next year! And losing gave me more determination to slalom even more!

Soon enough AARON CHUA, one of clement's friend came in to join us the hougang bladers, and he uses my ultra wheels, we carry on our slalom journey.

By the year 2006, we were still in our shabby state, but with clarence doing heel wheeling in his carlifornia, none of have any reason to complain, any thing is possible, i manage to do heel wheeling 20 cones, and clement can do his heel spins. But as much as our body can take, our skates cannot, and they die day by day....

But as much as we are losing hope in skating, this year, our government had did a good deed to the skating community in singapore! SOMERSET SKATE PARK IS OPEN!
So we do aggro too! So it is aggro, slide and slalom at the same time, our skating fire is back! However it did not last long, because aggro kill our skate even faster, parts falling everyday, i was in charge of repair, and all i have are eproxy, glue gun and twine, so its literally : if it breaks, tie it back, if theres a hole, patch it up, if its seperated, gule it back.

As much as i can fix, clarence's skate is already 6 years old, and the aggro part is really the last time the skate can ever let him use it again, the skate cannot carry on its journey, as much as the skate had stayed with us, it was time to say good bye, the cuff was gone, broken into 3 pieces, i swear to god i tried my best to patch it up, i knew it was impossible, but i tried my very best. i glued the cuff back into one piece, and tied it back to the skate, and use eproxy to cover the cracks, however my 3 hours of work only lasted 1 day, after skating at ecp for the last time with carlinfornia pro, the cuff was shattered into uncountable pieces, and no glue or eproxy could ever patch it up.

So you think clarence have no skate? He can't skate? Well, the skate was kept for another few months, and that bastard will just not let it rest in freaking peace, he carried on skating in that dead skate. I have never seen a skate as bad as that skate in my life ever again, and they day it was thrown was the day my brother got his new skate, SPOGA, a distant cousin of the carlifornia pro, which looks the same, feels the same and perform the same. But it didn't last even a month before the frame and skate went their seperate ways.

Finally my brother saved up 400 dollar to get his first freestyle skate, TWISTER ORANGE. And i tell you, getting a skate is a big event, just like getting married, 400 dollar for a 14 year old is like everything, went to every shop in ECP, and finally arrive hvper. Guess who we saw? Benjamin~ The only freestyle slalom skater left in singapore, working in hvper, and he recommended the skate to clarence, benjamine took the cahnce to talk to clarence because see one guy who slalom is like seeing a guy who can speak the same language with him, and thats how we got to know him. After begging for discount for the whole day, benjamine decided that they were fated, and he changed the twister frame, to seba frame, all for 400 dollar! woots!

This year, we were finally sponsored by MICRO SINGAPORE. At that time, the sponsorship contains 1 seba skate, for 2 years we would be in micro. And we gotta go to SHANGHAI for our very first international competition~~ Woo LA LA. But we have to pay half of the ticket. But WTH we care, in our state if we were to even skate at all we would need new skate, we were in desperate situation, to carry on our slalom journey, it is either sign or good bye, because our skate will be dead like clarence in no time, because i am tying twines to my skate and clement's, soon we will have to glue. So we joined the team, getting my first IMBA SKATE the SEBA HIGH BLACK!
i feel like i can own the world. However we were not able to get clement in for the sponsorship and aaron can't get it too, because the team only need 2 so only me and my brother joined in. The whole team consist of ROBIN, BENJAMINE, ME, CLARENCE.

With our skate, benjamine became our caring teacher, telling us everthing about slalom, the rules, the ways to train. But without much training we were into our first competition international, SHANGHAI 2006.

The first thing we learn there is how to get thrashed, china have 10 years old kids killing us, everyone is at war, no one knew what country singapore is, and no one give a f***. We went on with our shitty performances and got our last few places. It was an ultimate test of passion because we were literally throwing our face there, noob skill performance. Lost but not heart broken, we carried on slaloming and hope for the best in 2007.

But before in 2007, we manage to get clement and aaron in, on one condition, they will have to pay the skate by installment until full payment is paid for their skate. And so we had the team that was well known, Team Micro Singapore.

So how was the slide team formed? Why are Benjamine, Robin, Clement and Aaron not in the team anymore? Well, it will be in my next post, THE STORY OF MY TEAM.

Malaysian friend.

2009-04-05T10:00:00.000-07:00

I had a malaysian friend who lived in my home for a few days.

He is the almost one and only slalomer in malaysia.

He come to singapore mostly to skate with us, hahaha. We had many fun.

i brought him to skate at sembawang, and ecp, abd near our house the mscp.

Bought him to my house downstairs kopitiam to eat the western food. hahaha.

He said singapore is very safe and very fun.

He keep telling me to go KL visit him, hahaha very kind of him.

Although he is not very good in slalom now, i can see his passion is burning strong.

If i am the only slalomer in the country, i wonder if i can still hold on to my passion like he did, really salute him.

Today i just brought him to dohby ghuat to meet his cousin, who also happen to be going back to KL with him.

I decided that i should send him to see his cousin, so i decided to bring my skate along, so after sending him i can go to esplanade to skate.

After sending him off, i went to esplanade and saw wei jing skating alone there.
Then later bryan, shu wen and ben and ivy came too.

They were suppose to have their school urban together but ivy got church and it rained, so they cancelled the school urban thing and went to esplanade.

Lol, i thought no one skating, in the end so many people.

After awhile rachelle called me and ask where i am, i say skating. Then she say never mind then bye bye.

After that went to eat bread with ivy and shondy, talk about rubbish then went home.

So thats all. Don't say never blog ha, one time write so many...

But like just write out every detail of what happen today only... :P

2009-03-31T08:08:00.001-07:00

Lol, i seldom blog, because i don't like people to see how i feel, or what i am thinking.

Blogging is more like make some announcement for people to see, no choice i am too famous and handsome.

Been skating lately, nothing much, still into the slalom on skates, more and more funny moves and recently into shuffle! Wahahaha XD. Shuffle is more like release of all unused energy on the floor, more than dance. Feel like what then do what lor hahaha, happy is ok, no one cares.

Been quite depressing lately, worry alot about money, mostly money.
haizzzzzzzz.

i hope my friends around me are happy, cause happiness is all that matters for everyone.

END!

Waiting time to go skate.

Skate skate skate.

My room very messy.

Wow, indeed.

It takes 2 hand to clap.

You don't give me the other hand i cannot clap.
Maybe hand sizes not correct.
Both also cannot clap together.
Nothing to judge from.
How to clap?
When the 2 hands met then can see if can clap.
If not, now don't clap.
Or clap liao explode.
Don't force me to clap.
Cause the drama is not spectacular.
