. . . sports woes . . .

assalamualaikum

i was never good at sports. oh boy, did i suck. the first n last sport i ever participated in... football i guess. soccer to be exact. i was young (stil am, always will), excited, dreaming of being someone great in sports... and of course, clueless.

i got to be a goalkeeper, i thought, cool! i get to catch balls, no running around (i hate running) n d ball wont go to me much as d others will be kicking d ball to d opponents side. boy, was i wrong. d ball keep coming as though we were using 10 balls rather than one. it became so bad, i had to take of my glasses because i had several close calls where d ball kept flying to my face. to those who dont have specs, it is a serious thing when something comes to ur face. i was a wreck. we lost n i was a wreck. didi i mention i was a wreck? already? nevermind, i was a WRECK.

mom was like a full blast lecture machine gun when i got home all covered in mud n grass. d following night, i shivered like f**k n my temperature was hot enuf to overcook an egg over my forehead. i have therefore been banned to participate in any sports, be it indoor or outdoor. d closest i came to sports... hm... does scrabble count as sports? whatever. i was not into sports anymore. i'll be damned if i were to run around in d field trying to fight over a ball.

but then again, being here, i began to do some sports. surprisingly, i enjoy it n it fills a bit of my time (which i'd rather sleep anyway). asean sports day is coming up so d brunei mission wants me to participate in it to represent our country. so far i've registered in scrabble... n after two sunday nights, i have been practicing in bowling.



its darn fun at d beggining, last night i had 3 strikes in a row. well, at the first round. after 2-3 rounds, i was useless n pathetic. my palm was all red n sweaty. i could barely feel my shoulder n my waist was about to be busted. but all n all... it was fun. to me now, its not the matter of gaining points... its just to hit all those damned pins down! i bet dat i'll do better in d next practices... i hope.

wassalam

. . . tough times ahead . . .

assalamualaikum we are coming into the 6th day of Ramadhan (1439/2018). so far so good. missed one day (not accidental) as my heart turned dark that particular day. still, compared to last year, this is probably the farthest i have gotten to so far. both the girls, mama bear and baby bear snoring sweetly and myself, pondering on every ponders that are pondered and pondered as per my usual self ponders when pondering the ponders pondered. my head and shoulders feel heavy as the days come passing by. the sentence reverberates in the deep bowels of my mind: the older, the more responsibilities. probably i mentioned before but its best to say it again. for my own sake and probably yours (if you choose to ponder my ponders): life doesn't come with a manual guide. i like the malay saying too: "rambut sama hitam, hati lain-lain". altho nowadays its better said that all hairs and hearts are different. minds... minds are on a different level. i seem to land myself in dif...

assalamualaikum this is the 3rd time that i (will) change my modems as well as the TV box. now for those who wants to know, Switzerland by far is dominated by Swisscom, one of the largest telecommunication provider. theres quite a few but this is probably the most promoted company. in my limited knowledge, theres also UPC Cablecom (which boasts cheap and REALLY fast internet... but bad customer services), Orange... yeah. i think thats it. theres of course more but those 3 are the common ones i encounter when it comes to connectivity. i started out with another provider (prepaid) before slowly venturing to postpaid as well as internet (internet came a bit later since the first apartment i stayed in had no way of installing your own internet as they already have one pre-installed and you had to buy monthly credits from the company who owned the building... sort of a hotel apartment). hence it was quite a while for me to get into the real deal. after having a postpaid line for...

. . . song ga yeon . . .

assalamualaikum, i've been waiting for her debut this whole month when i heard that she will finally debut as an MMA fighter on August 17th. and it was definitely worth it. although i saw this through a recorded broadcast, i must say, wow! great job Song Ga Yeon! amazing and really didn't expect you to go through it fast and thorough. less than 5 minutes at that. i would've thought that you would take your time and pace yourself to put down your opponent. Song Ga Yeon dubbed as the Korean Deadly Beauty but i was taken aback and absolutely shocked at the first few seconds of the beginning where she immediately pummeled down Emi Yamamoto with an array of punches. after that it was smooth sailing all the way. Yamamoto gave quite a struggle but it was absolutely a futile effort. i was also amazed at her smooth actions on launching take downs. Yamamoto didn't have much of a chance although she did manage to sneak a kick to her chin while being pinned near the ...
